Friday January 20, 2017 Americans witnessed the handing of the baton off from President Barack Obama to President...Donald Trump. I didn't witness the inauguration. I did not what to see the beginning of this bleak new chapter in American history. I read the transcript of President Trump's speech and died a little bit more inside.
My friend Anna had the idea weeks ago that friends should gather at her house, eat and drink, and "not watch" this changeover from a pretty great 8 years to its successor - a shadowy future. So Gerald and I packed up the kids and came over armed with wine, whiskey and appetizers. Other kids and parents showed up. All of the kids were slightly haywire with the late start - curfew comes early for the under-4 set. But we ate delicious spaghetti and meatballs, and drank wine and talked while our kids stampeded through Anna and Anthony's apartment in a blizzard of toys and laughter. I was too busy spending time with friends to take pictures but I do wish I had one shot of the happy mayhem that was wreaked by 10 children under the age of 4.
My husband and I left Anna's house slightly tipsy with a full bellies and two overtired, happy kids. I also left feeling happier than I had when I arrived. I was filled with more hope than I have had since election night. Spending good time with good people makes me know that the fight isn't over. It has only just begun.
Saturday dawned. I had the honor of watching the Women's March in New York City. I watched as the first protesters came up Fifth Avenue and I cried - overwhelmed by the thousands of good people that have taken up the challenge to resist this presidency and to fight the myriad rights and freedoms that are soon to come under attack. I watched as the numbers swelled and over-ran the barricades - a wall of people from building to building marched down the avenue that is occupied by the most expensive retail stores in New York. A man standing beside me climbed up on a streetlight and said: This is what the Other 99% looks like." And he is right. "Who wants a picture of this? Who wants a picture of Democracy?" He offered to take the phones people passed up to him and photograph his bird's eye view. Many took him up on it. The sea of people was energized and positive and healing.
I've heard it said that New Yorkers live in a bubble. We do. It is a rainbow bubble filled with everything and everyone you can imagine - we live on top of each other, and we bump elbows on the subway, and we witness millions of different dreams coming true or failing spectacularly every day. We do all this living together - regardless of and because of our myriad differences and similarities.
Everybody should live in this bubble. Seriously. If you lived with a million - or even a few thousand - amazing, dynamic, and DIFFERENT people you're eyes might be opened up a little more. With the beginning of the Trump presidency I felt the bubble of my idealism pop. Maybe over the next 4 years we can build one big bubble that we can all live in.

We all know that Instagram and Facebook can be excellent tools for engaging our customers, but they both operate quite differently. We talked a lot about how to engage your Facebook followers in our previous blog post: Engagement that Matters. If it makes sense for your business, having a successful Instagram page can also greatly boost your visibility.
You should avoid using the same social media marketing strategy on Instagram as you do on Facebook, SnapChat, Twitter, etc. Having a Facebook business page is definitely a necessity, but using Instagram for marketing is also an excellent tool with a huge potential customer reach. Instagram has more than 700 million active users per month and about 70 percent of US Businesses are using Instagram, according to Instagram analytics compiled in April of this year.
It's important to check your page statistics to see when your audience is most active. In a future blog post we will talk more about reading and understanding Instagram's analytic structure and algorithm.
Take the 30-30-30 Insta Challenge:
For 30 days, I want to challenge you to engage with 60 people a day who are not current followers. Think of who your ideal customer is, the person who is most likely to use your product or service, and search for hashtags relevant to this customer. Focus on your ideal customer only, not your competition. Once you have found a hashtag, or multiple relevant hashtags, you should like 30 of those posts per day. On 30 more non-follower accounts, comment with a question, not just a saying, that relates to each post daily.
Think about your own personal Facebook page. Imagine you post a picture of yourself wearing a new pair of glasses. If someone comments "Those are nice glasses", you will probably 'like' their comment, but you might not reply. However, If someone posts, "I like your new glasses. Where did you get them?", you are much more likely to post a comment in response to answer their question. Show people you care enough to ask something valuable. For example, you could post, "What is that bull's birthweight?" or "Have you flushed that heifer before?" This will encourage your ideal customer to reply back with an interest in who you are. They may end up following your page and engaging because you've started a conversation and requested follow-up.
Trust the process.
Running a successful Instagram business page requires work, but don't let it overwhelm you. Completing this challenge will help you learn how simple it can be to dramatically increase your customer engagement. Remember to ask sincere questions at the times of day your ideal customer is most active, and have some fun with it.
You will notice as your engagement increases, so will your visibility, which leads to even more engagement, which leads to more visibility – and so on. Putting in the time to genuinely engage with your ideal customer leads to huge benefits for your social media following. We want your ideal customer to see you engaging in conversation that is relevant to them. Consumers want to see the personable side of a company. Showing a genuine curiosity in the topics your ideal customer is interested in leads them to, in turn, be interested and curious about your business.
Now go socialize with your ideal customers and keep us posted in the comments. Do you notice your engagement increasing? What hashtags are you searching? What responses are you receiving? Let us know your progress!

Learn something new every day
More Info... by email
As a junior Java® developer, you will contribute work to software engineering projects that are being developed in the Java® programming language. This should give you both practice applying the basic principles of Java® to make real-life software, and the chance to learn the craft of programming from experienced developers. In order to become a junior Java® developer, you typically need to demonstrate that you have learned the basics of the language, and that you are capable of creatively applying this knowledge to create new software.
You can generally learn the basics of Java® by completing a formal computer science program at the graduate or undergraduate level, or by teaching yourself through the variety of resources that are available in print and online. Pursuing a computer science degree will normally give you a structured series of classes in which to learn the Java® language, as well as the software engineering and mathematical concepts to help you program more effectively. You can also teach yourself Java® via books about it, free online tutorials, and forums that let you ask technical questions of programmers.
After you learn the basics of Java®, you should take steps to make your programming abilities stand out on your application to become a junior Java® developer. You may do this by completing internships and undertaking personal programming projects. It is generally easier for computer science students to find unpaid programming internships, and they are often able to complete personal programming projects for class credit. Contributing source code to open source projects, regardless of whether you are a computer science student or a self-taught programmer, is another way to bolster your resume and programming credentials. Competition can be tough to become a junior Java® developer, but if your resume impresses a company's human resources department, they will call you in for an interview.
A job interview to become a junior Java® developer is usually part interview and part audition. Companies generally expect junior developers to have a basic competency in the mechanics of programming, and to learn how to become skilled programmers from a combination of on-the-job experience and guidance from senior developers. To this end, the interview for a junior Java® developer position will likely not only examine your academic knowledge of the language's mechanics, but also how well you can apply those concepts to produce novel solutions to a variety of programming problems.
Employers will generally take your ability to problem-solve as a reflection of your aptitude for growth as a developer. This can be a major factor in deciding whether or not to hire you as a junior developer. Previous experience working on Java® projects, and not just doing homework for programming classes, can both help you get to this last step in the hiring process and give you the practical experience to successfully answer any programming questions.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

24 June (Part 3) - Gossip Department
I've no idea how reliable this sort of information is but an email said
"I heard that Pallen was replacing Windle in Barnehurst and that Hall was
replacing Cammish in Blendon - both standing down. Musical chairs!"
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Simon Windle went, he seems to have a too finely developed sense of decency to be a Bexley councillor and if they are looking for someone useless and another Teresa style tyrant you couldn't do a lot better than Eileen Pallen.
Steven Hall's Welling seat must be vulnerable to UKIP attack and a move is understandable but why a decent enough bloke like Steven wants to be associated with Bexley council goodness only knows. Maybe he has aspirations towards reforming it?
Pat Cammish? Who is she? I did a search of the entire Bonkers site and apart from the list of councillors her name only appears once. It was in November 2012 and if you click the link to that blog you may understand why she has had enough.

There isn't much that is blatantly wrong on Versus The World, the fifth label-released CD from Sweden's Amon Amarth.
Unfortunately, there is not much that is memorable, either.
The CD is aiming for an epic viking metal feel of grand and epic battles, but instead manages to deliver a depressingly sludgy wall of sound that resoundingly crushes any forward momentum.
The majority of the songs sound exactly the same: in the same key, featuring the same speed, the same tiresome style of rapid guitar strumming, the same monotone low-pitched growly vocals (mostly delivered in one or two-word increments), the same limited range of notes, the same uninspired drum work, and the same lack of solos.
Six of the nine songs here are effectively interchangeable and meld into one another with no distinctive features. There are hardly any passages that capture the attention.
The exceptions are opener Death in Fire, which achieves a strong mood with a purposeful melody that is full of good promise. Thousand Years of Oppression breaks free from the monotony with a change of pace towards a slower and more interesting and varied tempo. And closer ...And Soon The World Will Cease To Be introduces some life with a soulful melody.
And while none of the songs are bad or poorly delivered, Versus The World as a whole is as uninspired as its name suggests.

Statistics from Altmetric.com
The test for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is frequently obtained to identify patients at higher risk for a rheumatic condition prior to subspecialty referral. However, a positive ANA occurs in a variety of clinical settings and does not automatically indicate underlying pathology. Therefore, careful consideration is needed to determine if the results will alter diagnostic, treatment, or medical decision making before the ANA test is sent.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypic autoimmune disease related to the presence of ANAs. The clinical manifestations of SLE are diverse, as this disease affects every organ in various combinations and severities unique to each individual lupus patient. Therefore, presentations can range from subtle skin and laboratory abnormalities to life-threatening end-organ damage. Other rheumatic conditions associated with a positive ANA include juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease, localised scleroderma, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren syndrome and drug-induced lupus.1
This article presents the history and current use of the ANA test in paediatric practice related to rheumatic diseases, with an emphasis on three specific clinical scenarios where this test may be useful. We also review the relevant data pertaining to why the ANA test is not a good test to screen for rheumatic conditions. As there is no test capable of discriminating between a patient with and without a rheumatic disease, we present some features of the most common rheumatic diseases to help general paediatricians recognise specific patterns of symptoms that warrant further evaluation and/or referral to a paediatric rheumatologist (box 1).
Specific signs and symptoms of common paediatric rheumatic diseases20,22
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (based on the 1997 American College of Rheumatology Classification of SLE)

I finally started going through my Google Reader list and came upon a few posts by The Story Siren. She has a feature going on right now called LGBT Lit Days occurring from August 9 – 20th. She has spotlighted such authors as Julie Anne Peters and is hosting a verity of GLBT book giveaways. A few months ago I did a feature on my blog called, Books With Impact which featured a brief review of my two favorite GLBT books, Keeping You A Secret and Luna by Julie Anne Peters (you'll have to scroll down on the linked page a bit to find them).
Inspired by The Story Sirens GLBT week I have posted a new BIG List called, The BIG List of Young Adult GLBT Books. If you have any GLBT book or author suggestions please feel free to comment or email and I would be happy to update the list.
Happy Reading!

I wanted to pass on this story that has the female slant to bullying.
It's become the silent emotional killer among women. Women who are downright mean, malicious and disrespectful with each other. This trend is creating havoc in our relationships with each other, for it strikes the core of sisterhood. Real sisterhood can only exist when respect and trust stand unshakeable. In this particular, most men are quite opposite to us. For a man, a brother is a brother is a brother.
However, what is most disturbing about our malicious ways is that we are passing on a legacy of a broken sisterhood to our daughters. Girls that are mean and catty are usually this way because their understanding is that this is a normal part of femaleness. They grow up to become mean and catty women who perpetuate a diseased sisterhood.
To break this cycle we each need to make a conscious effort to validate all women. Be they our friends or not. Otherwise, we will continue to find ourselves moving within circles of female hostility, suspicion, and pain. Here is my list of the most detestable practices that we need to discontinue in order to heal our sisterhood:
1. Talking about each other - You are really not her friend if what you have to say about her is so bad you can't say it in front of her. If you are a real friend you should be able to tell her your concerns for her life to her face. If you have the need to tell others, but you haven't found the time to tell her – red lights should be flashing. Believe it or not, gossiping is not an intrinsic part of being female. Women who gossip do it not because it's a woman-thing, but because they want to elevate themselves and put other women in a place of inferiority. Gossiping is just another symptom of deeper insecurities.
2. Fighting for men – One of the most undignified things that any woman can do is to fight, argue, or curse another woman over a man. It's a disgusting trend that used to be a school girl thing, but today adult women are doing it too. If both of you are in conflict - because his choice is not clear - then that means that he's really not into any of you. He's probably playing both of you. That man really does not deserve love or attention from either one of you. Let him go.
3. Joining female gangs – Women who make you feel unwelcome and unwanted within their circle of friends are not to be trusted. Women cliques have become common in the workplace, at church, in the neighborhood. Cliques are the dwelling place of insecure women. Women who join cliques are seeking refuge from their own lack of confidence by cocooning themselves within this circle of supposed exclusivity. Again, the need to belong to, or be part of a clique is also a sign of deeper insecurities. Beware, cliques are usually encouraged and thrive on a type of gang mentality.
4. Undermining each other – Beware of any woman who can never celebrate your accomplishments with you. It could be a new boyfriend, a promotion, an award, a new job, a new acquisition, weight loss. If she has nothing positive to say to you about it, does not show emotional support, or chooses to remain silent she is not a true friend. Real friends know how to recognize and genuinely rejoice for our successes with pride.
5. Competing against each other – You need to get this straight. There will always be another woman with nicer hair, a more caring husband or boyfriend, better behaved children, a better paying job, a bigger house, a more fashionable wardrobe – there will always be some woman with more of what you don't have. Consequently, the only person that you need to compete against is yourself. Strive to be the best that you can be - for you. Competing against other women to prove yourself superior is a financial and emotional drainer. Because of this mindless competition we become mean, envious and hypocritical. It is pointless.
6. Disrespecting boundaries – To survive peacefully every relationship and every friendship must have clear boundaries. Good relationships operate within margins of respect. Within this level of respect, privacy and intimacy are keywords. Yes, you are my friend, but that doesn't give me the right to walk into your bedroom or your kitchen, unbeknownst to you, and help myself to your stuff. I don't do this not because you won't allow me to, but because I respect your privacy and your things. Consequently, we both need to know and respect each other's levels of privacy and intimacy.
7. Crossing boundaries – This is similar to the above, the only difference is that my respect of your boundaries should never depend on my friendship with you. We need to respect women for the simple fact that they are women. If she is a woman she is a sister. Period. Therefore, from that understanding I will have the utmost respect for her children, her man, her opinions, her choices, and for her as a person. It amazes me how women are quick to disrespect another sister's boundaries, but feel offended if another woman does to them the same exact thing. Honestly, that type of inconsistent behavior can only be credited to some form of mental illness.
8. Exploiting our friendships – This is a major one. Why are you friends? Do you only remember her being around whenever she could get something from you? It doesn't even have to be material. It could just be your time or your positive energy. Does she happen to be always on the receiving side, with you dishing out ton loads of yourself or your stuff? Or is she your friend because of what you represent? It could be that your husband's position or yours, your possessions, your talent, whatever, represents some form of achievement. Is she a friend because that link to you places her on a higher platform? In a real friendship appreciation, support, and loyalty must be reciprocal

The defending national champion Huskies have just one incoming freshman for the 2011-2012 season: point guard Ryan Boatright.
Conventional wisdom suggests it would take four or five players to replace Kemba Walker, but with the late-season emergence of Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier, to go along with Alex Oriakhi and a bench full of underclassmen overachievers, UConn should be competitive next season (ESPN ranks them No. 5 in their very early preseason poll). But in a year's time? Who knows. Lamb could be ready for the NBA, and depending on what type of season Oriakhi has, he could be too. And then there are the annual " will he or won't he?" questions about Jim Calhoun's retirement plans, the perpetual uncertainty of which can put off recruits.
Still, the Huskies are in the running for Andre Drummond, the best player in the 2012 class, and Omar Calhoun, the 11th-ranked shooting guard, will also visit Storrs soon. Details via the ZagsBlog:
Calhoun, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Christ the King who averaged 21 points this season, plans to visit UConn. "In the next week or so we will take an unofficial visit to UConn," Omar Calhoun Sr. said by text.
Calhoun's list includes UConn, North Carolina, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Villanova, West Virginia, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Maryland. Although Calhoun Sr. said "UNC is involved," UConn appears to be the leader at this point.
"[Assistant] coach [Kevin] Ollie has done a fantastic job staying in touch with us and coming to see Omar play throughout the high school season," Omar Sr. said. "UConn is a leader for Omar's services."
It's the bit about Ollie's involvement that might be most important to UConn's long-term viability; the Huskies lost top recruiter and assistant coach Andre LaFleur to Big East rival Providence last month and there were concerns the program would suffer.
If the Huskies can come away with Drummond and Calhoun (not to mention Kris Dunn, who has also been extended a scholarship for '12-'13), the program should be in good hands, no matter who's coaching.
As for Calhoun, ESPN describes him as "a big time scorer who can beat the defense in a variety of different ways." He will also need to add weight and work on his ball-handling. Hmm. Sounds a lot like Lamb for the first two-thirds of his freshman season. That ended up working out pretty well.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service) -- Fighting fires with civil partners, contracting city workers to save on installation repairs, and guiding foster children to their next step in life were among the group efforts honored Tuesday during the inaugural Army Community Partnership Recognition Ceremony at the Pentagon.
"Across the Army, we are becoming more efficient and effective," said Under Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy. "Partnerships are an important way America's varsity team is doing more with less, to ensure our resources support Soldiers maintaining their tactical and technical advantage."
"Our partnerships enable us to learn from others, and make us more innovative," he added. "They are a priority, and we are pleased to recognize our winners."
Murphy and other senior leaders, including Lt. Gen. Gwen Bingham, the Army's assistant chief of staff for installation management, awarded the top five Army community partnerships at the ceremony.
Far from a prototypical Army installation, Redstone Arsenal in Alabama is more of a federal entity that heavily relies on partners outside its gates.
"Everything we do at Redstone now is partnered in some shape or form," said Col. Thomas Holliday, the garrison commander. "It's an Army garrison, but we have 87 tenants and of those only 29 are Army."
With just 350 homes on base, Redstone turned to local governments like Huntsville to help alleviate traffic congestion for the thousands of employees commuting in and out.
"The city helped improve Redstone's transportation ecosystem in multiple ways by building roads to improve key corridors in and out of the arsenal so that 42,000 workers can commute in a timely fashion," said Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle.
Efforts also included the city, along with the state of Alabama and corporate entities, pitching in funds to move one of the base's gates to improve traffic flow.
"This is all funded by public organizations, not the Army," Holliday said. "We expressed the need, and they rallied around and made it happen."
Another neighboring city, Madison, also worked with Redstone, Huntsville and Madison County to secure about $100 million in road projects around the installation, said Madison Mayor Paul Finley.
"Most folks don't move to Madison; they move because they secured a job at the arsenal or the [Cummings] Research Park," Finley said. "The more jobs we bring into this area, the better off the overall community is going to be."
The road improvements will also benefit an ongoing commercial project initiated by an enhanced use lease, which will give office space to defense contractors and other organizations tied to activities at the base.
"A public-private partnership helped create and develop the [enhanced use lease] -- a major commercial development that will provide up to 4.2 million square feet of office space for tenants and contractors working with Redstone," Battle said.
The Army will earn about $4 million each year from leasing the land once it's fully developed, according to the colonel. He said the development is about 15 percent completed, and the Army currently receives about $400,000 annually.
Redstone also linked with the Tennessee Valley Authority, a federally owned electric power corporation, to revamp its older buildings with energy-saving upgrades to reduce future electricity bills.
"With the constrained resources we have, you've got to find other ways of doing business," Holliday said of the partnerships. "They're more efficient and effective."
A lack of internal staff to conduct energy audits resulted in the New Jersey Army National Guard starting an internship program to fill in the gaps. Rowan University has since embraced the program, giving interns valuable training and the Guard a cost-effective way to get audits done.
"There are so few qualified energy auditors at the moment and great demand for the service, so we wouldn't be able to afford it without the interns," said Col. Mike Lyons, the New Jersey Guard's construction and facility management officer.
"It is a benefit to the university and students because of this great demand," he added. "They have graduates going out into both the public and private sector with recent and relevant experience."
The intern program has even stretched to other facets in the Guard's energy program.
"They not only do energy audits, but help us in planning and programming new projects, even helping us prepare some level of conceptual designs and scopes of work," Lyons said, adding that Rowan students are also involved in their environmental program.
William T. Riddell, a civil engineering professor at Rowan University, said the intern program offers that real-world experience to both undergraduate and graduate students.
"The projects reflect all of the complexity and ambiguity students will face in practice," Riddell said. "[At] the end of the semester, they can create a final report that makes concrete recommendations based on engineering calculations."
Christopher Moore, a former intern who became the energy manager for the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs Construction and Facilities Management Office, is living proof of the rewards offered by the internship program.
"I believe that helped me hit the ground running when taking my current position because I already knew a lot about the Guard and their unique energy challenges," he said of the program.
"[It] also helped Rowan," he added, "because I understood their engineering program and how to help the students get the most out of their internships and improve the overall partnership."
By contracting maintenance crews from the city of Monterey to fix things on the installation, the Presidio of Monterey is planning to save more than $220,000 each year on facilities and construction operations, according to its garrison commander.
Earlier this year, the installation signed a five-year, $8.2 million intergovernmental support agreement with the city, making it the Army's largest maintenance agreement to date. Under it, the installation uses city crews to support services necessary to operate, maintain, inspect, and repair real property facilities.
The work can range from repairing potholes, repaving roads to re-roofing older buildings on base, said Col. Lawrence Brown.
Crews can make quick fixes up to $2,500 without needing to wait around for additional authorization, he said. This allows some broken items to be repaired completely, rather than relying on cheap patch-ups that may later require additional work.
"It really gives them broader authorities to troubleshoot the problem," Brown said. "It opens up the doors to do more things."
The agreement also has city and installation planners working together to tackle mutual issues, such as traffic or noise from spike systems at gate entrances.
"It lets our planners and their planners work together on a common problem," Brown said. "You get away from this 'us versus them.' It's really one team working together."
The elimination of a duplication of service agencies in the local area is another benefit of the partnership.
"You're cutting down the redundancy of service, saving taxpayers' money, and putting precious defense dollars into readiness and training," the colonel said.
As a result of its cost effectiveness, other services have expressed interest in the agreement, which is now being dubbed the "Monterey model," Brown said.
"We want to give the best practices to the other services so they can learn from it, and perhaps they can set up their own agreement," he said.
For now, both partners will keep looking for more opportunities to collaborate in and around the installation.
"This is just the beginning," he said. "I think there's going to be more to come."
Fighting forest fires and bringing in economic development to the local area are the priorities of Camp Guernsey's partnerships in Wyoming.
The Army installation takes part in a fire management plan with Platte, Goshen, Converse and Natrona counties for reciprocal support in wildland firefighting operations, which has significantly decreased response time and increased support and resources, according to Col. John Papile, the camp's garrison commander.
"This partnership addresses cooperation, interagency working relationships and protocols, financial arrangements, and joint activities across 39 federal, state and local fire agencies, which have signed to provide mutual support," Papile said.
The agreement also includes eight hours of reciprocal support between Camp Guernsey and the surrounding Platte County before services become reimbursable.
"The ability to leverage finite fire suppression assets across these organizations is fiscally responsible and represents a fine example of stewardship," he said.
The Wyoming Military Department, in conjunction with the town of Guernsey and the Guernsey Economic Development Board, has also hired an economic development coordinator to implement community development projects and activities.
The coordinator serves as a liaison between the principal partners to spur local economic growth.
"His efforts have born significant fruit, as he secured approximately $6.2 million in grants and special tax levies to fund infrastructure and quality-of-life projects that support the community, installation employees, and visiting units," Papile said.
In the future, the installation plans to build on its collaborative efforts with the local area.
"These relationships have absolutely had a positive effect on community relations," he said. "We look forward to continuing, expanding, and fostering these partnerships to enhance relations and conserve resources."
One of the Alabama Army National Guard's partnerships allows Soldiers to guide older foster children "aging out" of the local foster care program.
Working with the state's Department of Human Resources, Soldiers provide training and career guidance to foster children, while also showing them what the Alabama Guard has to offer as they look to the next chapter in their lives, according to officials.
"This partnership directly enables our ability to reach a group of young adults as they mature out of the foster system, ... and we can assist them with their education and career goals," said Maj. Gen. Perry Smith, adjutant general of the Alabama National Guard.
In other partnerships, local communities have signed letters of intent to give the Alabama Guard up to 40 acres for military construction projects. This multi-community initiative is valued at nearly $2 million in commercial real estate alone, officials said.
The Alabama Guard has also provided training space for the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency at its readiness center, saving the agency tens of thousands of dollars in commercial lease costs each year.
"We continue to seek other partnering opportunities all across the state in an effort to grow additional relationships ... [and] conserve valuable taxpayer resources," Smith said.

Advanced age is associated with an increased susceptibility and mortality of the acute respiratory distress syndrome. This may be due to the progressive changes in innate immune responses and intrinsic properties of the lung that occur during the process of aging. Therefore, this study assesses the association between maturation and aging and pulmonary responses to injury in animal models of lung injury.
A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE (up to June 2014) and in the references of relevant articles to identify the studies using in vivo models of lung injury caused by an acute pulmonary insult, in which at least two age groups were compared. Because methodological diversity precluded combining these studies in a quantitative meta-analysis, data are presented based on the qualitative comparison with the adult group.
Of the 2,840 identified studies, 51 were included in this review. Most studies showed that, in response to a pulmonary insult, increasing age is associated with more pulmonary inflammation, edema, alveolar damage, and higher mortality. In addition, results indicate the existence of age-dependent changes in key components of the intracellular signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory response.
Increasing age seems to be correlated with exaggerated pulmonary responses to injury, ultimately leading to more severe lung injury. Pulmonary inflammation seems relatively suppressed in infants/juveniles, whereas in the middle aged/elderly, the inflammatory response seems delayed but aggravated. This implies that investigators and clinicians need to use caution about extrapolating results from adolescent or youngadult animals to pediatric or elderly patients in clinical practice.
An investigation of the literature documents that the inflammatory response to injury is exaggerated in aged animals, and there is more edema and alveolar damage and a higher mortality.
The effects of aging on the lung response to injury is not thought about yet with an increasing aging population, this is an important concern

Green Express Rail tours
We hope this page provides useful information about Windsor & Eton.
Our train will arrive at the Riverside Station
'The Windsor & Eton Venturer'
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. Its rich history spans more than 900 years.
Try the heritage walking trail, which takes you from Windsor Castle, across the River Thames, to Eton College www.etoncollege.com and allows you to discover 1,000 years of history. The historic core of Windsor has grown up over the centuries in
the shadow of the castle, with each successive monarch leaving an impression on the town.
Starting on the cobbled streets, known as Guildhall Island, there are many interesting buildings
dating from as early as the 17th century. The Old Kings Head, in Church Street, bears
a plaque on its wall recording the warrant for the exuction of Charles I in 1648 . Just a few doors along is Burford
House, reputed to be where Charles II housed Nell Gwynne, his favourite mistress! Queen Charlotte
Street is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest street in Britain at just 51 feet, 10 inches. The
Crooked House Tea Rooms, originally a private house, is thought to have been built in 1687, the leaning appearance
was caused by the use of unseasoned timbers and later constructional changes. The Windsor Guildhall, was
completed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1690. Look closely and the central columns do not touch the ceiling. The tradition
has it that the Councillors of the time insisted on the columns in the interests of safety, Sir Chrisopher Wren
not to be outdone, left the columns an inch short of ther ceiling! Windsor Royal Station (Central) is grand
and was built in 1849 by the Great Western Railway to provide access to the railway for Queen Victoria. Just before
Windsor Bridge is Sir Christopher Wren's House. The famous architect built the house for
his family in 1676, he served as the Member of Parliament for Old Windsor, and his father was Dean of Windsor. Windsor Bridge
was built in the rein of Henry III, originally of wood, the present bridge was opened in 1823, but was pedestrianised in 1970
due to structural problems. Crossing the bridge, you can see the Eton College Boathouses, much of the land adjoining
the bustling river here with its pleasure craft is owned by Eton College.
Eton High Street is packed with select shops - boutiques, antique shops.

My latest series is entitled Altered Perceptions and it is inspired by the mystery of our individual realities and perceptions found throughout varying levels of consciousness, memories and fragmented thought. The passage of time is also a major theme in my work because I am intrigued by how chronology and space become disoriented in the unconscious mind. Human figures are often depicted as statues holding life-like qualities, expressions, and emotions, and they frequently become the focus of my compositions. Because of this, the lines between the living, inanimate, dreams, and reality blur irrevocably. Architectural structures found in my work also help gauge time due to various styles and levels of dilapidation. I juxtapose old and new structures to reinforce the relentless progression of time.

Businesses are always looking for ways to get an edge on the competition, and technology offerings continue to help businesses stay on the top of their game. If you're looking for gadgets to help your business aims, check out these awesome offerings and improve productivity with ease.
- A Spherical Video Device
If you haven't witnessed the majesty that is spherical, 360-degree video footage, you likely soon will. With YouTube and Facebook recently updating their format to accept uploads of this style of footage, companies are taking note and jumping on the spherical video bandwagon. It's no wonder, as the marketing potential of this futuristic camera work is an entirely new way to experience places and product showings. It's taken a long time for technology to catch up to this film style, as panoramic photographer Tom Mills explains:
"The tricky thing with 360-video is all camera positions have to be recording at the same time, so multiple cameras are needed and this means it's impossible to capture without parallax. Over the last five years, we have seen many advancements in the industry. VR glasses for one, but finally camera companies are waking up to this technology."
One such company "waking up" is GoPro. Businesses and individuals can pre-order the Omni, a six camera set up needed to capture 360 degree videos. The synchronized array makes it easy to stitch film together in post-production to make gorgeous, high-quality spherical imagery.
- A 3D Printer
If you're a company that produces tangible products, there's much to be said about the ability of 3D printers to draw up prototype models. Having a 3D printer—additive manufacturing technology, to get technical—means turning an idea into a tangible object within hours of conception. Creating mock-ups can help your business sell an idea to interested investors, and allows for quick tailoring and redesign when required. The right setup can also allow for mass production of prototypes or end products themselves, meaning the investment can be more than worth the end results.
- Tablets
On-the-go business professionals have to deal with getting all the information they need on the plane, train, or boat with them in order to access when required- cue tablets. Tablets aren't new to the market, of course, but there are some enticing new offerings this year, including the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S. This premium device is lightweight and runs on Microsoft Windows 10. It comes with a full sized keyboard cover, a 12-inch display, and an Intel Core M processor. Its small size makes it easy to cart around from meeting to meeting, and ensures all the information you need is at your fingertips when you need it. Tablets can speed up app use, improving productivity, and their portability allows employees to take work with them on the road, ensuring more output.
- A FitBit
A FitBit might not have been at the top of the list when determining which gadgets to outfit your company and employees with, but this can be a viable investment for companies. Studies have repeatedly proven that happy, healthy employees are more productive. Looking to capture improve corporate wellness? These little devices just might do the trick. Fitbits allow and encourage employees to better monitor their health, which could result in less sick days taken and reduced health care costs. Lightweight and trendy, employees are often open to the inclusion of these trackers into a comprehensive wellness program, and can be used as a bonus for productivity or goals met.
- A High-Tech Wallet
If you and your employees often travel for business, there's much to be said about making the trips as comfortable and efficient as possible. One thing that's not always on the forefront of our worries during business trips is the safety of our wallets; enter the Royce Freedom Wallet. This high-tech leather passport wallet has all the room for the usual wallet fare, but with some technological flair. Hidden inside the wallet is a Bluetooth tag that syncs up to a phone. If the wallet is lost or stolen, your phone will beep. This wallet of the future doesn't stop there—it contains an RFID shield that protects your RFID credit card chips from data hackers.
Stay competitive with business gadgets that make every day processes easier and more efficient, whether that be through 3D printing efforts, spherical imagery, or even fitness trackers.

The arguments made by the State of Texas, attempting to defend section 253.037(a) of the Election Code, are truly remarkable and borderline frivolous. The provision requires any group organized based on common principle (instead of, for example, fidelity to an identified candidate) to (a) register, (b) collect contributions from ten persons, and (c) wait 60 days, all before spending more than $500 even on their own, independent speech ("independent expenditures" in constitutional jargon). The State's arguments are, thankfully, entirely foreclosed by decades of Supreme Court precedent. But they deserve more attention and discussion, and this blog will delve into them more deeply and explain just how dim a view at least some attorneys at the Texas Attorney General's office have of the First Amendment rights of Texans to organize for political advocacy.
In a nutshell, Texas is arguing that the plaintiffs before the Fifth Circuit (three "general purpose" political committees and a nonprofit 501(c)(4)) have no business complaining about a waiting period on their speech, because Texas generously affords multiple "choices" for the exercise of First Amendment rights, and plaintiffs should have either spent money through a nonprofit organization or registered as "specific purpose" committees to support identified candidates. Appellants' reply brief responds to these dubious arguments.

Durable with a weight capacity of 44 lbs
Stores both corded and cordless essential tools
Built with heavy-duty side latches and metal hinges for safe stacking
Offers a large volume capacity for high tools storage
Includes a removable interior tray for easy access to tools
Whether you are a handyman or a journeyman you need a way to transport tools and peripherals to and from the job that is convenient and reliable. In other words you need a tool box. Finding just the right tool box to fit your particular needs is important, but with so many sizes and styles available today it can be a daunting task. That's where we come in. We've selected the 10 best tool boxes around and present them here for your consideration; starting now.
The Best Tool Box
1DEWALT DWST17806 TSTAK VI Deep Tool Box
The DEWALT DWST17806 Deep Box doesn't mess around on any front. It's built like Fort Knox with enough internal space to accommodate all your basic tools along with a full complement of related items, like wood glue etc. This is not a small tool box. It's 17.6″ long by 11.75″ wide and 11.7″ high. It will hold up to 44 pounds of your most important equipment without buckling, cracking or twisting. This is a deep, rugged, durable box and it's our pick for the Best tool box of 2018. And if you need a lighter version, check out our top tool bags review.

2Keter New Masterloader Rolling Tool Box
Unlike most other companies that make tool boxes Keter does not also make power tools. Or any kind of tools for that matter. But they do make boxes. And the Masterloader is a serious box for serious jobs where you need to bring along everything but the kitchen sink. There are nearly 3,000 cubic inches of storage inside, the wheels are large and strong and the box rolls along with surprising ease, even when fully loaded. Two halves of the lid slide apart for easy access and the handle retracts to stay out of your way. If you are a real handyman, make sure you also check out cordless drills review.

There might be too many removable bins
3Stanley 28-Inch Structural Foam Tool Box
Stanley has hit the nail on the head with their 28 inch Structural Foam tool box. This is one of the few truly waterproof boxes on the market and also happens to be one of the most thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed. There is plenty of room for all your basic hand tools along with a power drill or two and perhaps a circular saw if you arranged things just right. It can get heavy but your gear isn't going to be swimming inside the box if it gets caught in the rain. Be sure to also check out our list of the best aprons for men for more great items like this.

An excellent all around large tool chest at a fair price
The box strains a bit under a full load.
4BOSTITCH BTST19802 Rolling Tool Box
The BTST19802 is a modular rolling workshop-style unit that resembles nothing short of a trash bin when it's all put together but is anything but trashy. The top portion of the 19802 pops off and can be used as a stand-alone tool box for those days you don't need to bring the whole shop with you. And when it's combined with the bottom you get a total of 10 gallons of useable storage space for up to 70 pounds of equipment. It can even fit an electric chainsaw!
Modular design for optimal flexibility
70 pound load capacity
Robust 7 inch wheels
Weight 18.85 pounds
- BrandBOSTITCH
- ModelBTST19802
- Weight18.85 pounds
All the capacity of a rolling tool trolley but easier to maneuver.
The modular design means you don't have to buy a separate tool box.
A fraction of the cost of other similar items.
Handle can stick sometimes.
5Stalwart Mobile Workshop and Tool Box
The Stalwart Mobile Workshop and tool box is comprised of 2 cases capable of stacking and rolling as a single unit. The bottom case is a bit deeper than the top, presumably to accommodate a plethora of power tools. There's a pair of removable trays, plenty of exterior hooks for extension cords and the like and a removable cubby drawer on the front for your screws, washers, drill bits and more. The pull handle is large and comfortable and there's also a topside handle for carrying the upper portion as a standard tool box. Be sure to also check out our list of the rolling tool boxes for more great items like this.
Removable top storage
Exterior hooks for cables and more
Removable front box with 14 cubbies
Weight 17 pounds

- Weight11.05 pounds
Plenty of storage between the two sections for all your tools.
The top separates easily and makes a high quality portable tool box.
A total of 2 dozen storage compartments.
Small wheels.
6Waterloo Portable Series Tool Box
The Waterloo Portable Series Tool Box is a lightweight tool box designed for a few simple tools and necessary peripherals. Its ultra-compact size means it won't find a lot of favor on construction sites. Still, it's great for do-it-yourselfers and handymen who don't need to bring along more than a couple of screwdrivers and torque wrenches, a pair of pliers a hammer, some duct tape and so forth. If you need something just a bit larger the Waterloo is available in 5 different sizes ranging up to 26 inches.
Removable inner tray
Durable comfort-grip handle
Flush top for stacking
Weight 2 pounds
- BrandWaterloo
- ModelPP-1406BK
- Weight2 pounds
The removable tray opens up enough space for a couple of power tools.
Good to see a real locking metal latch for a change.
Can be stored away pretty much anywhere when not in use.
Don't expect it to accommodate all your tools.
7Plano 823-003 22-Inch Tool Box
Plano refers to this as a "storage case" and we won't argue with that description. The fact that the lid is not on hinges but is clamped down at either end is the first indication that something is up. Still, if you can get past the lid you're going to find plenty to like in the 823-003. There's a pair of removable inner trays, a large comfortable handle, enough room for a power drill, cord and peripherals as well as a most agreeable price point. Our handy guide to the best tool backpacks features more great products like this.
1 deep and 1 shallow removable tray
2 lift out hardware trays on the lid
Reinforced handle
Weight 9.35 pounds
- BrandPlano Molding
- Model823
- Weight9.35 pounds
A well-built budget tool organizer.
Some obvious thought was brought to bear on the organization.
The unconventional lid takes some getting used to.
8MILWAUKEE 26 inch Jobsite Work Box
MILWAUKEE 26 inch Jobsite is a rugged, handsome, practical and well-considered box for power tools and peripherals that is not quite a tool box but not quite a storage unit either. Although it could easily pass for both. While there is a robust, comfortable handle up top, the box is too large to be toted around like a standard tool box when it's full. But if you don't mind carrying it by the end handles it's nothing short of an ideal power tool transporter with a removable tray for screwdrivers, drill bits and the like. Don't forget to also check out our best tool belts guide for more great items like this.
Pass through side handles
Impact resistant construction
Weatherproof seal around the lid
Weight 8.68 pounds
- BrandMilwaukee
- ModelMTB2600
- Weight8.68 pounds
The pass through side handles make carrying easy.
Plenty of room for your Sawzall or other large tool.
Well thought out storage slots.
Pretty easy to pry open.
9Keter Classic 19
The Keter Classic is what most people will think of when they think of a classic tool box, expect perhaps that it's plastic instead of metal. It's got the stout, sturdy profile of a classic box and enough room inside for a power drill, power cord, a few hand or pocket tools and some peripherals like screws, drill bits, nails, wire nuts and more. It's not so big that it can ever become unwieldy and the large, comfortable handle makes it painless to carry in all conditions.
Dual lid compartments for peripherals
Removable interior tray
Polypropylene resin body
Weight 3.9 pounds
- BrandKeter
- Model238060
- Weight3.9 pounds
Compact and durable tool organizer.
Perfect for transporting peripherals and small tools.
The metal lid stopper is a nice touch.
Anything in the lid compartments is going to get wet if it rains
The OEMTOOLS 19" tool box is another classic style lightweight tool box with a compact profile but plenty of well-considered drawers, trays and storage cubbies. The main interior tray is easily removed to accommodate a couple of modest sized power tools while the built in lid organizers let you bring along all the screws, nuts, bolts, washers and drill bits you like. With a maximum capacity of 40 pounds this is a pocket sized dynamo that will do any handyman or DIYer proud.
Robust metal latches
Removable inner tray
Electric lime green lid for easy identification
Weight 3.75 pounds
- BrandOEMTOOLS
- Model22179
- Weight3.75 pounds
A great looking little tool chest with a forget-me-not lid.
Has its priorities straight with peripherals up top and inside reserved for larger items.
Removable inner tray allows you even more space for tools.
The clamps don't seem all that durable.
Tool Box Buyer's Guide
How We Chose Our Selection of Tool Boxes
We chose the tool boxes for this list by examining the physical characteristics of each box, the materials it is made from and its feature set. We then combined our findings with information gathered from the people who actually use tool boxes. That information fell into 4 categories:
- Quality - How does the box hold up under duress? How comfortable is it to carry? Does it feel fragile? Do the latches hold fast or pop open? These are some of the questions we sought answers to in order to discern a general level of overall quality for each box.
- Brand - When tradespeople find a brand that works they tend to stick with it. This is both good and bad. It's good in that it promotes the long term success of companies that produce quality products, but it's not so great because it can prevent worthy new products from breaking through to widespread acceptance. So the brand of a particular tool box was a secondary concern to us.
- Price - Although there are exceptions to every rule you pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to tool boxes. That truism however, did not prevent us from considering any tool box at any price point that seemed as though it was/is a value winner.
- Reviews - We never give too much weight to customer reviews, simply because it's impossible to know who is actually behind them. We'd rather draw our own conclusions. When we do sift through customer reviews we're primarily looking for trends or things we might have missed rather than the number of stars or particularly scathing or glowing comments.
Features To Look For In Tool Boxes
- Size - Unless you have a compelling reason to believe you're never going to carry much in the way of tools you'll typically want to get a slightly larger tool box than you think is necessary. This way you're prepared for any eventuality.
- Storage Capacity/Weight - The storage capacity you need is determined by how many tools you typically use in the normal performance of your duties. If you typically need lots of tools you'll want to consider a rolling tool box because any portable box will likely be too heavy to carry around.
- Material - In the days of yore craftsmen had elaborately designed wooden tool boxes. In the 20th century those gave way to steel, which was easier and cheaper to mass produce. In the 21st century the majority of tool boxes sold are some form of plastic or plastic composite. Plastic has some distinct advantages over steel in that it's lighter, lends itself to a wider variety of designs and colors and costs less to make.
- Construction - Manufacturers can try and buttress their plastic tool box with all the nifty interior support ribs they want but it's still not going to be as tough as a steel box. That's not to say today's plastic tool boxes are pushovers. They're not. But generally the larger the portable plastic box the more you're going to come face to face with the material's practical limits.
- Durability - To some people durable means the ability to withstand heavy shocks and resist break ins. Which would make steel the most durable. While to others durability is tied to potential longevity. In which case plastic would be the most durable because your plastic tool box will likely still be around at the dawn of the next ice age.
- Compartments - Because a tool box is not just used to transport tools you're going to want yours to have as many compartments, drawers, trays and cubbies as possible. While there are some folks for whom "organization" is a kind of 4-letter word, for most of us the more options we have when it comes to arranging our materials the easier it is to do our job. And that's true whether we're talking about briefcases or tool boxes.
- Design - Tool boxes are a classic case of form following function. Portable tool boxes are going to be small(ish) by definition. Otherwise they won't be very portable. Mobile workshops, however can get very large indeed. Many, especially the plastic ones, are also designed to be modular so that you can take only the components you need on a given day.
- Locking mechanism - Many portable tool boxes are made of plastic and even if this type of box accommodates a padlock breaking into it is a relative piece of cake. Security becomes an even bigger concern when you get into the realm of the rolling workstation. The sheer volume of tools you can store in such a box makes it both convenient and an obvious target for thieves. As such you'll need to prioritize security features such as locking mechanisms.
- Waterproofness - Plastic tool boxes are never going to succumb to the elements but that doesn't mean they're necessarily waterproof. Leave the average plastic tool box out in the rain and when you open those storage trays on the lid they're going to be full of water. If you work outside a lot and water is an issue you should go with a tool box that is designed to be truly waterproof like the MILWAUKEE 26 inch Jobsite Work Box.
- Portability - If you need to take certain tools with you wherever you go your tool box should be big enough to store those essential tools but small enough to be carried easily. If you regularly take lots of tools with you you'll need a rolling tool box like the Keter Masterloader.
- Features - Thanks to the digital and LED revolutions everything is being pimped out these days, including tool boxes. Some of the newest ones have built in lights inside while others have portable charging stations. The best tool boxes, whether portable or rolling workstations, have lots of interchangeable and removable drawers, trays and other storage features.
Types of Tool Boxes:
- Hand Carry - A hand carry tool box is what most people are referring to when they say "portable tool box". This is the classic rectangular box with the handle on the lid that's about a foot and a half long. Today, most hand carry tool boxes are made of plastic because it's lighter and cheaper than metal or composites. Typically a hand carry tool box will have a shelf or tray inside that holds peripherals and can be removed to make way for a large power tool.
- Rolling - Today's rolling tool boxes are available in an array of configurations and sizes. They may be largely horizontal 2 wheel boxes that resemble coolers or they may be enormous upright boxes - also with 2 wheels - that resemble trash bins. Then there are the more traditional rolling boxes that have 4 wheels and multiple shelves to hold all types of screws, washers, nut, bolts and other peripherals, as well as a large compartment to store multiple power tools and cords.
Tool Box FAQs
Q: Why Do You Need A Tool Box?
A: It doesn't take long for novice tradespeople to discover the answer to this question. You need a tool box because you simply cannot do your job without one. Whether you are a carpenter, electrician, plumber, house painter or just a dedicated DIYer you need to be able to bring at least a minimal complement of tools with you to the jobsite and carrying them individually by hand is just not going to work. To a tradesman a tool box is every bit as essential as the briefcase is to the high powered attorney or investment banker. It's how you transport the tools that allow you to do your job.
Q: Plastic or Metal Tool Box?
A: While tool boxes are available in a number of different materials the vast majority these days are either metal or plastic, with metal steadily losing market share even as you read this. The virtues of the metal tool box are almost entirely functional as there is no denying it's going to be able to withstand the rigors of the jobsite to a greater degree than a plastic tool box. On the other hand, if you are willing to be a little more careful in how you handle your tool box, plastic has a lot to offer. Including the fact that it's lighter, it's not going to rust, it's available in a wider variety of styles and colors and it's more affordable.

Accueil > LabEx "OSUG@2020" > Actions soutenues > International > Aide à la mobilité des étudiants > Retention of As and Pb by jarosites in polluted soils and mine tailings in Mexico
par- 23 février 2017
Laboratoire(s)/équipe(s) du LabEx OSUG impliqué(e.s) : ISTerre
Porteur du projet : Alejandro FERNANDEZ-MARTINEZ
We are requesting funds to support an 8 week academic stay by a Ph.D. student from Mexico (UNAM), to be trained by Dr. Alejandro Fernández-Martínez (ISTerre) in the modeling of EXAFS data collected during three cycles at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), Berkeley National Lab. The samples processed include synthetic jarosite, arsenic-substituted jarosites, and asenic-lead-substituted jarosites, as well as lead-sorbed samples of the different jarosites, and jarosite-rich samples from contaminates scenarios. The main goal is to understand the forms of lead and arsenic reactivity on jarosites, which are minerals generated under highly acidic and sulfate-rich environments, such as those found under acid-mine drainage. The general aim is to describe the bonding environment of both elements in jarosites and elucidate their retention mechanisms, under the hypothesis that a positive synergistic retention exists between the two. Dr. Fernández-Martínez has ample experience in modeling of EXAFS data and on environmental mineralogy.

Luther Sweeny called Bunny. "I hate to be the barer of bad news, but I just left Cordelia Wells' house. She is fairly sick."
"Oh, no," said Bunny. "How bad is it?"
"Well, Dr. Magill is calling all the family. I know you are not technically family but I will always put you with Harrison, and he adored her."
"So do I. What Can I do?" Bunny asked, remembering how supportive Cordelia had been when Bunny did not know which way to turn.
"Nothing right now I'm afraid. She called me to get her affairs in order." He paused and Bunny did not say anything. "Mercer gave her a sedative for today after I left, so probably it will not be until tomorrow before she will be up for visitors."
"Who is staying with her? I imagine she will need lots of help."
"She's OK for now, of course Pearl is there."
"Oh, I didn't think about Pearl (Cordelia's domestic help who had been with her forever). Of course, I'm sure she has that all under control." She paused. "Luther, thank you so much for calling me." Bunny hesitated then asked,"If something changes, please let me know."
Going down his list, Luther called Inez, Belva, even Tula to let them know that Cordelia was ill and that she had called him in to get her affairs in order. He called Harvey and left a message so he and Vivian would be aware of the situation. Luther was surprised and pleased that both Inez and Belva sounded both interested and concerned. Neither of them was known for their warm feelings for anyone, even family.
However, his biggest surprise was Tula. As soon as he gave her the news, she sounded distraught. "Oh, Luther, I knew I should have come to visit her last week, but I didn't. Is there anything I can do?"
Luther shared with Tula that Cordelia would be sedated for the next 24 hours and assured her he would let her know if anything changed.
"Well, I'm her closest kin and the one who should be with her now. Thank you for letting me know."
As soon as she rang off, Tula went straight to Cordelia's house. Pearl answered the door and Tula, in her usual manner, walked past Pearl, as she stood in the doorway before Pearl could even speak. "Why is it so dark in here? You know Cordelia likes the place to look light and sunny."
"Yes mam, but Dr. Magill suggested keeping it dark and quiet for now. He said it would be better for "Miss' Cordelia."
"Well, I beg to differ," Tula said as she walked from window to window opening all the plantation blinds. "There, that's better." With that Tula walked toward the staircase in the front hall. "I assume she is in her room?"
"Yes mam, but you cannot go up there right now."
"Who says I cannot go up there? I have just learned that my dear Aunt Cordelia is not doing well and I will not be denied the chance to visit with her." She took a couple steps. "And, besides, I need to make sure she is being cared for properly."
Pearl stood there, hands on her hips, and firmly said," 'Miss' Tula, Dr. Magill was very serious when he said he did not want her to have any company whatsoever until tomorrow afternoon and then only if she wanted to."
"Pearl, I'm not company, I'm family." And with that Tula turned and resumed her way up the stairs only to be stopped by a man's voice.
"Tula, Pearl is right. Those were my orders. Cordelia needs her rest right now. The last thing she needs now is drama." The 2 ladies turned to see Dr. Magill walking into the main hallway.
"Drama, you think I would be dramatic at a time like this. I just want to make sure my Aunt Cordelia knows that I am to here to make sure she has the best care. Come to think of it, Pearl, you can leave. I think it would be better if someone like me was here to see to her needs."
Pearl just stood there. She had seen Tula's temper tantrums, fits, and fusses over the many years. She was not intimidated. But before she could speak, Dr. Magill spoke."Tula, I am sure you want to help in any way you can. But right now, your 'Aunt' Cordelia needs rest." Dr. Magill looked at Tula. He added,"And since when did you start addressing her as your 'Aunt'?"
"She is my aunt, you know that."
"Of course I do, I just find it nice for you to start addressing her with some respect. Now come down here."
Tula reluctantly came down the stairs.
Dr. Magill continued,"In a day or two, she'll be ready for visitors, but definitely not today - even family."
Tula said nothing. Dr. Magill just hoped Tula would be satisfied until the next day. "I'll be going. Tula if you come back tomorrow afternoon, we'll see what Cornelia is up to."
Tula finally left. Dr. Magill consoled Pearl that all was well and she needed to continue just as she always had. Cordelia was lucky to have such a dedicated person. Pearl and Cordelia had been together so long.
The following morning Pearl just waited for Tula to show up. Sure enough she was not disappointed. At 8:30 Tula showed up ready to help. However, Pearl had to stand her ground thatreminding her that Cordelia still needed her rest. Tula left but assured Pearl she would be back. As she walked to her car, she called Marlboro and Sweeney. She made an appointment to see Luther Sweeny.
She drove straight there and waited - impatiently. It wasn't long before Luther Sweeny walked out to get her. Tula started, "I am concerned about Aunt Cordelia. Now that she is by herself and not doing well. I need counsel about becoming her Power of Attorney."
Luther paused before he said anything. "First, Cordelia is not alone. She is in good hands with Pearl and only a phone call away from Dr. Magill 24/7. As for her affairs, as I told you, Cordelia has already taken care of that. Part of her doing so was a new will and appointing a Power of Attorney." He laughed, "And since when did she become your 'Aunt' Cordelia?"
"Funny, she has always been my Aunt. Who did she name as her Power of Attorney?"
"I'm not at liberty to say."
This irritated Tula to no end. She tried to think who would Cordellia want to handle her affairs? Seriously, she said,"But I'm sure if she were doing better she would have chosen me."
"Well, she was of clear and sound mind and she didn't."
"So you're saying that there is nothing I can do?"
"Not, unless Cordelia changes her Power of Attorney." He looked at Tula sternly. "Why are you so concerned anyway?"
"I just care about her. Appearently, more than anyone else." With that, Tula thanked Luther and left determined to get this changed and quickly. She did not have much time.

Hang Your Coats from a Tree
What an interesting way to use hooks - along with this tree sticker from ferm Living. [via Apartment Therapy]
And here's a similar idea using hooks from Vertbaudet. [via babygadget]
And I'll bet you could do something similar with these leaf hooks.
This stunning stained glass maple leaf hook is another option.
If you wanted to pursue this idea, there are certainly plenty of tree wall decals available - or you could work with a muralist to get just the look you want.

We use a big 6 foot tall solid 'tree' in our laundry - made from rough hewn pine & varnished - with about 12 large pegs jutting out. We use it to hang up the school backpacks, hats, school jackets etc. It is luckily very sturdy!

Wow, Miz Molly - that's sturdy indeed, if it can handle backpacks! If you'd like to e-mail me a picture, I might just include it in a separate blog post.
I've written about coat trees before, but none of these look like they'd handle backpacks - at least the way many kids stuff them full. Maybe some of the hall trees could, though.
