Jaguars are one of the most sophisticated brands on the road, combining reliability, class, and power to create their vehicles. However, a known issue that Jaguar owners experience is self-leveling suspension failure.
The suspension of a vehicle is meant to absorb shock and provide a smooth ride. A self-leveling suspension utilizes sensors and an onboard computer to read the loads and automatically adjusts the height of the car. This suspension system also helps spread out the braking power evenly, making braking more effective.
The self-leveling suspension is a complex system. To keep it working properly and prevent failure it needs to be properly maintained by trained Jaguar experts.
Symptoms of Self Leveling Suspension Failure
When the self-leveling suspension begins to fail, there will be some warning signs. The most common symptoms of failure include:
- Your Jaguar may be Sitting Lower to the Ground: The self-leveling suspension keeps your car level. If it is not working properly, your Jaguar may sit lower to the ground. You may not notice this issue until you are carrying a heavier load than usual. If the suspension has failed completely, it could sit lower without a heavy load.
- Trouble Breaking: If you notice that you are having a harder time breaking, this can be due to a failing self-leveling suspension. When the suspension system is working correctly, it is able to distribute the braking power evenly.
- A Rough Ride: When the self-leveling suspension is not working properly, the car will sit too low to the ground. If you hit a bump or pothole, the impacts will not be absorbed. This will make your ride rough and uncomfortable.
Causes of Self Leveling Suspension Failure in Your Jaguar
The self-leveling suspension system is made of several components. Each part works closely together giving you a smooth ride. These parts require care & routine maintenance.
- Air Leak: An air leak is the most common cause of self-leveling suspension failure. Air can leak from tears or gaps that form in the connections. You can easily avoid an air leak by staying current on your regular maintenance schedule.
- Defective Suspension Struts: Struts can easily be damaged during installation or repair. If you have a bad strut, you may notice that one corner of your Jaguar will sit lower than the other corners. A defective strut needs to be replaced right away.
- Faulty Air Compressor: The air pressure in the self-leveling suspension is controlled by the air compressor. Damage to the air compressor will affect the performance of the suspension system.
- Bad Relay Circuit: If the relay circuit fails, it will not be able to control the electrical circuits. This will cause the self-leveling suspension to malfunction leading to a rough ride.
- Screeching Noises: Screeching noises are never a good sign. If you are hearing screeching noises in your Jaguar, they can be coming from the shocks.
Prevention of Self Leveling Suspension Failures
There are a couple of things you can do to help prevent self-leveling suspension failures. These are:
- Have Frequent Inspections Performed: Bringing your Jaguar in for inspection regularly to prevent any issues. If our mechanics spot any problems, they will let you know immediately so you can get them taken care of.
- Follow the Maintenance Plan: Regular maintenance is critical for keeping your Jaguar in top running condition. The maintenance plan was designed specifically for your car. Staying current will help prevent future problems and high service bills.
Is it safe to drive with a failing self leveling suspension?
We do not recommend that you continue driving your vehicle with a failing self-leveling suspension. Continuing to drive your Jaguar can lead to additional damage and high service bills. Driving with a bad suspension can also be dangerous since it can make it hard to steer and brake.

A video board was installed in the UNI-Dome in 2002. Campus contractors and electricians began work on Wednesday, September 25 and completed the project on Thursday, October 4 .
Krogman and Associates, located in Cummings, Iowa, has been chosen to assist the UNI Athletic Department in production of the board. This includes instant replay, close-up action in the stands, and sponsorship advertisements.
The video board was introduced to Panther Fans on Saturdays, October 5, 2002 at UNI's Homecoming Football game versus Western Kentucky.
In 2014, the UNI-Dome had a 100' × 27' video board installed at the south end, then the second-largest in FCS football at this time. The existing video board has replaced the north end scoreboard. All this was made possible with a grant from the Black Hawk Gaming Association.
The 2002 video board is located above the UNI Bookstore area on the North Deck in the UNI-Dome.

A quick look at the new books I have read with Boy Child and Girl Child
This story starts out
with a familiar premise: Michael and Sheila visit a fire station. While
the two kids are exploring a fire truck, an alarm goes off-and away go
Michael and Sheila to the rescue!
Boy Child wants to be a Firefighter. He wears his Fireman hat and Fireman boots everywhere.
He would wear his Fireman coat if I didn't have it hidden during the summer.
He thinks that Fireman Sam is one of the greatest shows ever.*
So I was totally excited when I was approved for this galley!
It's hard to read kids' books on an iPad, but we powered through.
Over and over.
And over and over.
And over.
Boy Child loves it. Girl child loves it. The Husband and I don't hate it.
We have a winner!
I purchased one copy for our collection and another as a birthday gift for a friend's son. A great find!
*It is NOT a good show. I want to poke out my eyes and cut off my ears when it's on.
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

It is depressing to see Christians being killed and driven out of historic lands by jihadist murderers. The church has had a long history in the Middle East, including places like Turkey and Syria where the apostles traveled and spread the gospel.
In a 2009 Sixty Minutes interview, the Patriarch of Orthodox Christians said he lived as a second-class citizen in Muslim Turkey where the church is treated with extreme disrespect:
Patriarch Bartholomew Feels "Crucified, CBS News, Dec 17, 2009
At the turn of the last century there were nearly 2 million Orthodox Christians in Turkey; 1.5 million were expelled in 1923, and another 150,000 left after violent anti-Christian riots in Istanbul in 1955.
Today, in all of Turkey, there are only 4,000 Orthodox Christians left. [. . .]
[Guide Sevim] Karabiyik told us, much to our surprise, that the four gospels were written in Turkey and that three of the apostles spread the word there.
Even Jesus' birthplace, Bethlehem, is now a Muslim town with only about 15 percent Christians, although Muslims hope some Christians remain so tourists won't be uncomfortable.
Last August, the Muslim Brotherhood attacked Christians in Egypt, killing hundreds and torching dozens of churches, like the Archangel Michael Church near Cairo shown below.
The video mentions the WSJ opinion piece written by Israel's Ambassador to the UN, which follows:
The situation in Egypt and Turkey illustrates the history of Islam: infidels are murdered or forced to leave if they don't convert to Islam. Europe is next.
The Middle East War on Christians, By Ron Prosor, Wall Street Journal, April 16, 2014
Muslim-majority nations are doing to followers of Jesus what they did to the Jews.
This week, as Jews celebrate the Passover holiday, they are commemorating the Bible's Exodus story describing a series of plagues inflicted on ancient Egypt that freed the Israelites, allowing them to make their way to the Holy Land. But over the past century, another exodus, driven by a plague of persecution, has swept across the Middle East and is emptying the region of its Christian population. The persecution is especially virulent today.
The Middle East may be the birthplace of three monotheistic religions, but some Arab nations appear bent on making it the burial ground for one of them. For 2,000 years, Christian communities dotted the region, enriching the Arab world with literature, culture and commerce. At the turn of the 20th century, Christians made up 26% of the Middle East's population. Today, that figure has dwindled to less than 10%. Intolerant and extremist governments are driving away the Christian communities that have lived in the Middle East since their faith was born.
In the rubble of Syrian cities like Aleppo and Damascus, Christians who refused to convert to Islam have been kidnapped, shot and beheaded by Islamist opposition fighters. In Egypt, mobs of Muslim Brotherhood members burn Coptic Christian churches in the same way they once obliterated Jewish synagogues. And in Iraq, terrorists deliberately target Christian worshippers. This past Christmas, 26 people were killed when a bomb ripped through a crowd of worshipers leaving a church in Baghdad's southern Dora neighborhood.
Christians are losing their lives, liberties, businesses and their houses of worship across the Middle East. It is little wonder that native Christians have sought refuge in neighboring countries—yet in many cases they find themselves equally unwelcome. Over the past 10 years, nearly two-thirds of Iraq's 1.5 million Christians have been driven from their homes. Many settled in Syria before once again becoming victims of unrelenting persecution. Syria's Christian population has dropped from 30% in the 1920s to less than 10% today.
In January, a report by the nondenominational Christian nonprofit organization Open Doors documented the 10 most oppressive countries for Christians; nine were Muslim-majority states noted for Islamic extremism, and the 10th was North Korea. These tyrannical regimes uphold archaic blasphemy and defamation-of-religion laws under the guise of protecting religious expression. In truth, these measures amount to systematic repression of non-Islamic groups.
Last year in Saudi Arabia, two men were prosecuted for the "crime" of converting a woman to Christianity and helping her flee the Islamic kingdom. According to the Saudi Gazette, one of the men, a Lebanese, was sentenced to six years in prison and 300 lashes, and the other man, a Saudi, was sentenced to two years and 200 lashes. Those are relatively mild sentences in Saudi Arabia, where conversion to another religion is punishable by death.
The "justice system" in other Islamic nations is not particularly just for Arab citizens, but it is uniquely oppressive for Christians. Radical Islamists in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa are using an ancient law called the "dhimmi pact" to extort local Christians. The community is faced with a grim choice: pay a tax and submit to a list of religious restrictions or "face the sword."
In the Islamic Republic of Iran, expressions of political dissent are regarded as acts of blasphemy. Last summer, three Iranian Christians caught selling Bibles were found guilty of "crimes against state security" and sentenced to 10 years in prison. They were relatively lucky. The regime has executed dozens of people for the so-called crimes of "waging war against God" and "spreading corruption on Earth."
The scene unfolding in the Middle East is ominously familiar. At the end of World War II, almost one million Jews lived in Arab lands. The creation of Israel in 1948 precipitated an invasion of five Arab armies. When they were unable to annihilate the newborn state militarily, Arab leaders launched a campaign of terror and expulsion that decimated their ancient Jewish communities. They succeeded in purging 800,000 Jews from their lands.
Today, Israel, which I represent at the United Nations, is the only country in the Middle East with a growing Christian population. Its Christian community has increased from 34,000 in 1948 to 140,000 today, in large measure because of the freedoms Christians are afforded.
From courtrooms to classrooms and from the chambers of Parliament to chambers of commerce, Israeli Christians are leaders in every field and discipline. Salim Joubran, a Christian Arab Israeli, has served as a Supreme Court justice since 2003 and Makram Khoury is one of the best-known actors in Israel and the youngest artist to win the Israel Prize, our highest civic honor.
Father Gabriel Nadaf, a Greek Orthodox priest living in Israel, recently told me: "Human rights are not something to be taken for granted. Christians in much of the Middle East have been slaughtered and persecuted for their faith, but here in Israel they are protected."
Nations that trample on the rights of their people sow the seeds of instability and violence. The uprisings that have erupted across the Middle East are evidence that the region's Holy Grail has become the pursuit of freedom, democracy and equality. Let us hope that this quest bears fruit before it is too late for the region's remaining Christians.
Mr. Prosor is Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.

Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich
A cross between pizza and a sandwich, this Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich is packed with flavor! It's the perfect gameday appetizer!
This post may contain paid links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.butt bundt." I like big bundts, and I cannot lie. In fact, back when I was first starting this blog, I toyed with the idea of starting an online bakery. I was going to specialize entirely in bundt cakes. Big bundts, small bundts, vanilla bundts, chocolate bundts…everything was gonna be bundt. However, after looking into the logistics, I decided to pass on the idea.
Challenges included figuring out how to mail bundts so that they (1) arrived in one piece and (2) didn't taste a day or two old. I also needed to have our kitchen inspected by the state healthy department, and I heard they frowned heavily on having dogs in the house. That meant I'd have to find a community kitchen that I could rent. I mean I get it, but still. The logistics got to be too much, so I put my bundts on the back burner.
I still love a good bundt cake, and I have no fewer than 6 different shapes of bundt pans. I thought I had seen it all…until I came across the bundtwich! The say-what-wich? Yup, bundtwich. Basically you take 2 batches of pizza dough and bake it up in a bundt pan. The result is a huge piece of pizza dough in the shape of a bundt. Then just slice that thing open and fill it with your favorite pizza toppings. I love bundts. I love pizza. This was a match made in heaven!
Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich – Cross between a pizza & a sandwich!
The bundtwich is a unique and fun way to serve pizza to a group of friends. We love football playoff season (and the Super Bowl, of course), and I use the games as an excuse to make pizza and hang out with friends. This year I'm stepping up my game a bit and making this Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich. Truthfully speaking, it's really not difficult to make this bundtwich. Just bake the dough up and let it cool. Then slice it in half and go to town filling it with your favorite pizza toppings.
The secret to a good bundtwich is to pull out the extra dough after it's baked. I know, I know. Pulling that dough out felt wrong to me. I guess I could've saved it to make bread crumbs, but I just fed a little bit to Ethel, our chihuahua pup who loves bread, and the rest got discarded. But this will create a nice pocket where you can layer in your toppings. Secret #2? Use the cheese like glue! If you just layer a bunch of toppings in there without cheese, then it's sure to fall apart once you put the 2 halves back together. Instead, layer the toppings with melted cheese so that the cheese helps hold everything in.
I went with the classic Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich here, but the sky is the limit. If you can make a pizza with it, then you can make a bundtwich with it! You could use a good pepperjack cheese with taco meat for a Taco Bundtwich. Or what about cubed ham, bacon and pineapple? Yum! Or perhaps cooked chicken, bacon and ranch dressing for a Chicken Bacon Ranch Bundtwich – I know that would be a huge hit in our house! Buffalo Chicken Bundtwich? Sure, why not! (In fact, don't be surprised if you see some of these other flavors pop up here on the blog in the future!)
In the meantime, enjoy this Pepperoni Pizza Bundtwich! It's a tasty twist on the classic, and it's the perfect sports-watching appetizer. Cheers!

ST. PAUL - Tennille Caplette had already been dealing with hearing issues for a while before she decided to get a hearing test done.
About eight or nine years ago – after dealing with ringing in her ears and noticing something was going on – she made an appointment to have things looked at. She was referred to a specialist and found out her hearing issues were actually much worse than she thought.
She was booked for surgery, but the procedure did little to help. Instead, she had horrible side effects after, such as vertigo.
Then, five years ago, she would get her first hearing aid. Since hearing aids can be quite expensive, Caplette could only afford one, so she made due.
"It was nothing fancy," she says, as she describes the device. Caplette then continued on with life, not realizing she should be doing follow-up and annual appointments to keep track of her hearing.
When HearingLife Canada called her last October about booking an annual check-up, Caplette was caught off guard. But, she decided it would be a good idea to follow-up after five years.
Around this same time, her one hearing aid was acting up, and obviously needed repairs.
When Caplette went for a new hearing test, she was told once again that her hearing was worse than she originally thought.
But, going through a pandemic, being a single mom supporting two teenage children, there wasn't much left over at the end of the month to spend on new hearing aids.
"I was just starting to kind of get out of the red," says Caplette, explaining the situation. So, to be told she would need two hearing aids was a bit of a shock, and not something she felt she could juggle financially.
Then, the Campaign for Better Hearing came up.
Shawna Pettinger works with HearingLife Canada and is a clinician based out of Sherwood Park. Caplette has only good things to say about Pettinger, and describes her as being a strong advocate for Caplette.
Pettinger approached Caplette with the idea of applying to the Campaign for Better Hearing – it was a long shot, and there was no guarantee the support would be available – but there was a chance.
Since its inception, the Campaign for Better Hearing movement has expanded to more than 11 countries. The program educates the public about the effects of untreated hearing loss, and the importance of regular hearing tests for people over the age of 60.
Since 2015, more than $1.6 million has been raised by HearingLife to support the distribution of free hearing aids to Canadians who cannot afford them. In 2020, 200 hearing aids were donated to those in need.
But Caplette, who is just 44 years old, wasn't sure she would qualify for the campaign.
Part of the program also asks recipients to speak about their experience – something Caplette wasn't sure she would be comfortable doing. She admits she still has some anxiety around the fact that she has hearing aids, and purposely wears her hair down to cover them.
When she was sent home after her check-up, and while waiting to hear if she had been successful in becoming a candidate with the Campaign for Better Hearing, HearingLife offered a loaner set of hearing aids for her to use.
Caplette says she assumed these would be the ones she kept, if she was successful.
But, when she returned to the clinic after being notified she was in fact successful in becoming a recipient with the Campaign for Better Hearing, Caplette was caught off guard when she found out she would be receiving an entirely new set of hearing aids – made especially for her.
"I was really blown away," says Caplette, adding, she actually sat in her car and cried.
She recalls the drive home with her new hearing aids as being a bit overwhelming for a few reasons. One was that she could hear absolutely everything. She described it as being a sensory overload.
"It was very surreal."
When she got home to her children, she felt like her daughter was yelling at her – a habit her kids had picked up out of necessity due to their mom's ongoing hearing issues. She slowly began to realize just how much she had been missing.
When describing the new hearing aids, she says they are phenomenal and likely something she would have never been able to afford on her own. She has an app on her phone that connects to the hearing aids, she can listen to music through Bluetooth, and do other things she previously couldn't do with her old hearing aid.
One challenge that had come up as a result of the pandemic was the fact that people are required to wear masks at many of the places Caplette works – such as on the school bus she drives.
She says she had learned to lip read as a result of her hearing issues, and masks suddenly provided an additional challenge.
"I was still missing so much," she says, adding not only was she completely missing some conversations, but she was also mishearing many of the things she was being told.
Since getting her hearing aids, she says the children on the bus she drives are often confused about how their bus driver can now hear all their conversations. Her daughter, who also rides the bus, simply tells the other kids her mom is bionic, leaving the younger kids puzzled.
Caplette says few people actually know she wears hearing aids. The issue is quite personal to her, and sharing her story is a big step, she says. But, she is keen to encourage others to seek out professionals who can help them if they do suspect hearing loss.
"This has definitely been an eye opener," says Caplette. "Hearing loss can happen at any age."
For those who may be hesitant to get their hearing tested, Caplette says getting that first test done was an important step for her. It confirmed that she wasn't imaging the things she was experiencing.
"I knew something was wrong."
The benefits that Caplettte has experienced since taking the necessary steps and opening herself up to being nominated with the Campaign for Better Hearing have been many.
She says she feels more included in conversations, she can hear the birds when she sits on her deck – and sometimes, when she needs a break and has to turn life down a few decibels, she can.

The hybrid in-person and digital People's Summit for Climate Justice will run from Sunday 7th – Wednesday 10th November 2021 with over 200 free sessions being held in a dozen venues across Glasgow and online
Programme: www.cop26coalition.org/peoples-summit

Media Contact: [email protected]
As world leaders meet inside the UN Climate Talks to decide how and with what urgency governments respond to the climate crisis, the COP26 Coalition will host the counter summit to COP: the People's Summit for Climate Justice.
The COP26 Coalition People's Summit will centre the voices of the most marginalised, those who are being hit hardest by climate change right now, and the people resisting and organising for change. Bringing together movements from across the world to discuss, learn and strategise for system change together from the ground up.
The hybrid in-person and digital People's Summit for Climate Justice will run from Sunday 7th – Wednesday 10th November with over 200 free sessions to be held in a dozen venues across Glasgow and online.
The programme features everything from workshops on how to sue an international fossil fuel company to a 'Toxic Tour' of Glasgow's biggest polluters, discussions on how aggressive agricultural practices cause pandemics and exploit migrants, and workshops on defending the right to protest as the much criticised Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts (PCSC) Bill comes into practice. Internationally, participants will hear from coastal Indigenous peoples fighting the British Crown to regain control of their native lands and ancient forests in British Columbia, Pacific Islanders resisting deep sea mining, Sahrawi people fighting state sponsored land grabs in the Western Sahara and many more.
Exhibitions and films will be shown from across the globe, including a sculptural tapestry made collaboratively by indigenous Malaysian women 'Weaving the Future' by Klima Action Malaysia, a Superhero Comic for the Climate Crisis and a screening of 'Black, Black Oil' by Emma Davie, which looks at Scotland's economic, historical and emotional entanglement with North Sea Oil and Gas.
Venues include the Centre for Contemporary Arts on Sauchiehall Street, the Fred Paton Centre, Adelaide Place, Garnethill Multicultural Centre, Albany Centre, Govanhill Baths and Glasgow Film Theatre among others.
Organisers include the Trade Union Council, Fridays For Future, Indigenous Environmental Network, Landworkers Alliance, Christian Aid, Global Justice Now, Living Rent Tenants Union, ActionAid, International Transport Workers Federation, the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance and Get Glasgow Moving.
People's Summit Programme Coordinator Jana Ahlers said: "To rewire the system, you have to understand it. To deliver justice you have to guarantee that all people are around the table. As world leaders meet to decide who will be sacrificed, who will escape and who will make a profit from this crisis, the People's Summit brings together indigenous peoples, bus drivers, film makers, refugees, pilots, farmers, feminists, forest dwellers, artists, doctors, anti-racists and climate justice activists to create a convergence space which centres those excluded from COP26, makes the connections between all our struggles and shows that we the people already have all the solutions to this crisis."
Ramon Mejia, National Organizer, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance said: "The annual UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP26) is a crucial battle ground for everyday people against fossil-fueled climate chaos. Heads of state assemble each year to negotiate and implement climate agreements, yet our communities' voices, who reside on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction and climate catastrophe, are sidelined. This year, with the COVID-19 pandemic, inequitable access to the COP means that many grassroots forces from the global south will not be present to inform the negotiations. The People's Summit is an opportunity for our members, frontline communities and global movements to ensure our voices are heard. We will oppose false promises like 'net-zero' commitments, uplift real solutions from the frontlines, and demand our governments take the aggressive action required for climate justice and to be accountable to the People and the Planet."
Harpreet Kaur Paul, Care & Repair co-lead Tipping Point UK said:
"What is on the table for discussion at COP26 falls far short of what justice and science demand. That is why it is so essential to meet, listen, share and organise at the People's Summit. Join us as we come together and build our collective global justice movement power – and together change the political weather to make the necessary systems changes inevitable: from the ground up."
The People's Summit for Climate Justice follows the COP26 Coalition's Global Day of Action on the 6th November. Tens of thousands will march and rally in Glasgow and London, plus 15 simultaneous mobilisations already confirmed in cities across the UK and more across the globe. In Glasgow, the march will assemble in Kelvingrove Park at midday and march to Glasgow Green. In London, the march will begin at the Bank of England and head to Trafalgar Square.

If you've been in a car accident that wasn't your fault, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Victims of car accidents suffer physical and emotional traumas. These can last weeks, months, or years after the accident.
There are several common causes of car accidents. Some are more devastating than others.
Regardless, you can be left with expensive hospital bills and property damages. If your injuries were severe, it may take time before you're able to go back to work. Some people even end up losing their jobs.
So who ends up paying for all this? It shouldn't be you. It might be time to call an attorney.
To understand more about your rights, you need to understand the different types of car accidents. Keep reading for everything you need to know.
The Causes of Car Accidents
Astonishingly, over three million people are non-fatally injured in car accidents every year in America. Some accidents are caused by people using cell phones while others are a result of reckless driving.
If you're not sure if the circumstances of your accident allow you to pursue restitution, find a Brandon, Florida car accident attorney. For now, here are some common causes of getting in a car wreck.
Distracting Passengers
Sometimes, driving with other people in your car can prove distracting and dangerous. However, it's up to the driver to maintain order in his or her vehicle to protect everyone's well-being.
Adult passengers should have a basic understanding of how they should behave while riding in a vehicle. However, for children and pets, you may need to pull the car over to remediate the situation.
Poor Weather Conditions
Many car accidents are caused by poor weather and road conditions. For example, heavy rainfall tends to result in multiple accidents.
Rain and fog reduce traction on the road and visibility. People run into one another, off the road, or into other obstacles. Avoid weather-related accidents by taking the appropriate precautions. This includes keeping tires in good condition, driving more cautiously, ensuring your window defrost works properly, and more.
Using a Phone While Driving
Cell phones are one of the most common causes of car accidents in Brandon, Florida. Over 96% of Americans own cell phones. Sadly, many of these people decide to use their phones while driving.
Taking your eyes off the road for even a second can lead to catastrophic consequences. Additionally, new vehicle technology makes it easy to use your phone and communicate with others without using your hands.
Checking a text message, looking at social media, and adjusting music is not an acceptable excuse for endangering other drivers.
Driver Error
All drivers have one thing in common – we're all human. We make mistakes.
Unfortunately, even small mistakes can lead to serious accidents. For example, failing to yield, not checking your blind spot before changing lanes, or braking too quickly are all common causes of car accidents.
Drive defensively and keep your attention on the road to avoid making these types of mistakes.
Reckless and Aggressive Driving
When people are in a hurry, having fun, or are driving emotionally, they tend to be a danger to themselves and others.
Aggressive drivers, for example, often drive too closely to the vehicle ahead of them to intimidate them to move faster. They will also weave in and out of passing lanes, accelerate aggressively, and pass without care. All of these actions are common causes of car accidents.
Reckless driving, which can be similar to aggressive driving, can also have serious consequences. Examples of reckless driving include running red lights, blowing through stop signs, and speeding.
Depending on the circumstances, this type of driving can lead to the driver getting in an accident or causing an accident among other vehicles on the road.
Driving Under the Influence
In Brandon, Florida, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is illegal. There's a good reason for that. When you drive while intoxicated, your reaction time, judgment, and vision are impaired.
Many people overestimate their ability to drive safely while under the influence. It is only after an accident that they realize they made a mistake. Unfortunately, at this point, it's too late.
Road Obstacles
Car accident victims aren't always other vehicle drivers. Pedestrians are often struck on the road. Sometimes it's because the driver is distracted, sometimes it's because the pedestrian wasn't paying attention and walked out in the middle of traffic.
Regardless, road obstacles are some of the most common causes of car accidents. Typically, this involves wildlife; people hit deer, coyotes, dogs, and other animals all the time. However, other obstacles include lost cargo from trucks and trailers.
If the object is large enough, it can cause damage to the driver. However, most serious accidents involving road obstacles occur because the driver tries to avoid the object. This can lead to driving off the road, side-swiping other vehicles, or driving into oncoming traffic.
Other Drivers
Finally, though you can take precautions and drive as carefully as possible, you can never master the impossible art of controlling other drivers.
For example, if you're driving behind someone who slams on the brakes, you may not have time to react, even if you were following at a respectable distance. Alternatively, someone could swerve into you while changing lanes, turn out in front of you, or rear-end you at a stoplight.
If another driver's error was the cause of your accident, their insurance needs to cover the costs of your medical bills and other expenses.
Do You Need Legal Representation for a Car Accident?
As you can see, there are several causes of car accidents. However, the bottom line is that you shouldn't have to pay for an accident if it wasn't your fault. Your insurance or the other driver's insurance should compensate you for damages, injuries, and any other expenses.
If you're having trouble getting the compensation you deserve or need to know more about your case, we're here for you. Contact us today to speak to a car accident attorney in Brandon, Florida. We will help you understand where you stand and guide you along the process.

Barry Stanton, partner, and Claire Taylor-Evans, senior associate, at Reading-based law firm Boyes Turner have these tips for helping businesses navigate the uncertainty surrounding Brexit
This article is the view of the author and not necessarily of Ready for Brexit
Against a backdrop of uncertainty, UK businesses have been gearing up for the challenges and opportunities that Brexit will bring. The UK Commission for Employment and Skills estimated that 1.2 million new technical and digitally-skilled people will be required by 2022 to fill roles in UK industry. With the Government announcing that there will be no preferential access to EEA workers post-Brexit, and with insufficient supply from the domestic labour market, how will industries that compete for talent, such as the tech industry, plug the talent gap?
Some businesses are well advanced with their planning. However, others still need to take steps to help them prepare for continued uncertainty, whether or not we leave at the end of January 2020. Even if we do, EU negotiations are likely to continue for a long time after that.
What should organisations do?
Read the 'No deal' Technical Notices relevant to their sector
The Technical Notices set out the Government's guidance on how to prepare for Brexit if there is no deal. They provide information on the current progress of Brexit negotiations and give guidance on the procedures that the UK Government intends to follow if there is a no-deal Brexit.
Carry out an internal audit
There is much that you can be doing to start to consider how your suppliers, customer base and employees will be affected. The British Chambers of Commerce provides a checklist and a Brexit Risk Register that give useful information for those carrying out audits and preparing for Brexit.
Good workforce planning is vital
Organisations should analyse their workforce composition and assess how to minimise the impact on the business post-Brexit. This should include, not only employees, but also any business-critical contractors who may lose their right to work in the United Kingdom if there is a no-deal Brexit. They should identify where recruitment shortages may arise in the future and have a contingency plan.
Businesses increasingly operate across national boundaries and with international workforces. The uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the 'deal or no deal?' question, together with continuing flux in terms of a further extension to the Withdrawal Agreement and discussions regarding the future relationship is likely to give these businesses more cause for concern about the impact of Brexit on the current and future make up of their workforces.
Make sure your existing EU employees register under the EU Settlement Scheme
It's important that businesses support and reassure their existing EU staff who may have questions about their ability to remain in the UK post-Brexit. The EU Settlement Scheme will allow those already in the UK to remain and continue to work, provided they register under the scheme. Those who have been in the UK more than five years by 31 December 2020, can apply for Settled Status, which will mean they can continue to live and work in the UK indefinitely.
Those who have been in the UK less than five years will be able to apply for Pre-Settled Status, which will allow them to stay in the UK until they acquire the requisite five years to apply for Settled Status. The deadline for registering is 30 June 2021, or 31 December 2020 in a no-deal scenario. The scheme, launched in March 2019, has already seen approximately two million applications, with over half a million applications received in September 2019 alone. There are an estimated one million EU workers yet to register and staff who leave applications to the last minute will inevitably face backlogs and delays.
Protect your future growth
Many initiatives are already underway to increase the UK's domestic talent, but in the interim, many companies will be forced to continue to recruit from outside the UK for skilled talent. Regardless of whether we have a Deal or No Deal, the Government plans an entirely new immigration system from January 2021 with EEA citizens receiving no preferential treatment. With an ever decreasing domestic talent pool and increased restrictions on recruiting from overseas, it is prudent to take protective measures to safeguard your future recruitment needs. These include obtaining a Sponsor licence to recruit skilled migrants and if you already have a licence, ensuring you protect that valuable asset with compliance training.
Brief checklist
Some immediate steps to take include:
- Look after your existing staff and make sure they want to stay with you
- Consider registering as a sponsor if you are not already registered. All those arriving after 31 December 2020 will need to apply through the Points-Based System and have a Sponsor Licence
- Invest in compliance training to understand how to protect your valuable sponsorship licence
- Budget for additional recruitment costs
- Assist existing staff to apply for EU Settled Status
- Keep up to date with the constantly changing immigration policy. The current lack of clarity on immigration policy is unhelpful. However, for the moment, it is business as usual. Employers should avoid changing their recruitment policies or strategies or rejecting applications from EU citizens, because of fear of the unknown. To do so may lead to claims of discrimination
- Right to work checks should continue to be made in the normal way and employers should continue to encourage those employees already in the UK to register under the EU Settlement Scheme as soon as possible and, in any event, before 31 December 2020. You should assist any workers with applying for settled and pre-settled status.
We are expecting further details on the UK's future immigration policy to emerge in the near future. In the meantime, taking all possible steps to prepare for what is likely to be ongoing uncertainty is the best way to protect your business going forward.

If you've followed the history of evolution, you'll opine that the use of tools was one of the biggest development milestones, right?
Well, the use of tools for various activities signified an improvement in intellectual and physical ability. Some of the creatures that started using tools earlier than you can imagine are the sea otters!
Let's find out their history with tools;
How Sea Otters Started Using Tools
According to scientists sea otters have been using stone tools for millions of years! They believe that otters were among the pioneer users of these tools beating other marine mammals that are considered to be more intelligent.
The sea otters use the tools for various activities. The most predominant, however, is in breaking open shellfish in search of food.
That sounds interesting, right?
Well, even more, riveting is the fact that this habit is more than a million years old! According to a genetic study carried out in California, sea otters' ancestors used similar tools to crack surfaces in search of food.
Interesting Inventions by Sea Creatures
One would be forgiven to think that sea creatures do not face any difficulties in their natural habitat. However, these creatures have challenges that have forced them to look for solutions creatively.
For example, dolphins were recently found to use sponges to protect their noses when hunting for fish on the seafloor. Australian scientists opine that this is a recent invention which is barely 200 years old!
Why Sea Otters are Unique
Although sea creatures are creatively innovative, sea otters are unique. They use rocks as anvils and hammers.
Unlike the dolphins, the use of tools by sea otters appears to be innate. These sea creatures barely struggle to handle the tools irrespective of their age. For example, orphaned sea otters whose movement was restricted portrayed the behaviour of using tools without prior exposure or training!
Where to Find Sea Otters
Sea otters are found along the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The creatures have valuable fur which has threatened their very existence.
At some point, the creatures almost became extinct due to increased hunting. At the beginning of the 20th century, only 1000-2000 otters remained. The dwindling in numbers raised an alarm and triggered the establishment of laws to avert the looming extinction.
Further Research on the Sea Otters
Scientists have increasingly developed an interest in the uniqueness of sea otters. There are plans to conduct more research on their fossils to establish the origin of their extraordinary behaviour of using tools.
Further research aims at investigating various genetic predispositions and environmental factors that contribute to the otters' ability to use tools flawlessly even with minimal training.
Bottom Line
While many animals can use tools, sea otters have shown a unique ability to use them without any training. As a result, researchers have embarked on investigating the factors that enable these creatures to have such an outstanding ability.

The main reason I decided to start this agency is because of the tough experience I went through in 2018 when my beloved husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
It was a shocking news to the entire family as Robert was a very healthy man, who enjoyed to run marathons, triathlons, join the Ironman event, swimming, and earn a bunch of awards through his LIFETIME. He was a retired lieutenant from the Navy and continued to work at John Hopkins. He also applied to a physics lab as an electrical engineer. He loved science and was a volunteer in teaching Robotic and Python programs at Wilde Lake High School in Howard County.
We were a happy family with our daughter who at the time was 5 and a half years old. We were married for 8 beautiful years and enjoyed each day with smiles and laughter.
We went through the cancer treatment but nothing worked on my husband's body as the doctor was telling us that his cancer cell was mutating so rapidly.
Every time I took my husband for his chemotherapy treatment, I saw people who were coming alone, with no help, pushing their walkers, trying to take day by day to fight for their lives, and that broke my heart. I knew I have to do something for these people, but at a time I was going through the same with my husband and I was helpless to them.
My husband died after 9 months of his diagnosis, he passed away 3 days before our daughter's 6 years birthday. Poor us now, we were left as an empty nest. I will never forget that day when I had to watch the cardiac monitor and his heart rate drop from 100 to 0 within 3 minutes.
The last thing he told me was, honey you will be ok, and this was his saying all the time I tried to encourage him to eat and do something. He saw the worry I had and he kept encouraging me. My daughter became the strongest backbone for me. She is young but she reads my mind all the time, and when she feels that I'm sad, she will tell me "mommy thinks that Dad is in Alaska" but he can't come back. I'm trying to be strong for her every day.

The all-new SP-400 sets a new standard, with features previously reserved for panel avionics. Sportys Vice President John Zimmerman says that now, for roughly the price of a tank of gas, pilots can have the peace of mind of a totally portable nav/com with ILS.
New features of the SP-400 include full ILS display (localizer and glideslope), VOR display with user-selectable OBS and real-time bearing to station, a large high-resolution screen, backlit keypad, one-touch emergency frequency button (121.5), visual memory channel recall that shows five frequencies, NOAA weather radio stations (pre-programmed), and side tone so that you can hear yourself talk when using a headset, the company says.
Every feature can be operated with one hand, useful in an emergency. There are dedicated squelch and volume knobs for fast, precise adjustment, and a handy last-frequency button to make it easy to flip-flop frequencies. Just type in your desired frequency and the radio does the rest.
The SP-400 is powered by 8 AA batteries, and is offered with a full five-year warranty. An alkaline battery pack, antenna, wrist strap and instruction manual are included. The price is $399.

Apple Unveils iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
The rumors and leaks are true: Apple officially unveiled their new mobile offerings today, including the brand new flagship iPhone X, along with two new continuations of the standard line, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus. The iPhone X is a complete redesign that aligns with the 10th anniversary of the very first iPhone.
These announcements came from CEO Tim Cook during Apple's official keynote today in the Steve Jobs Theater at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California. This is the first event held at Apple's new campus, and executives were apparently scrambling to make sure the space was ready on time.
A new flagship phone has long been rumored and comes at a pivotal time for Apple amidst discussions of the company not doing enough to innovate in the highly competitive mobile device space. It seems like breaking from tradition and announcing three phones will be a good start for the company.
Here are the new offerings with some details to show what has changed.
iPhone X
- Hardware: 3GB of RAM, A11 Bionic processor, 12MP dual sensor camera, 7MP front camera. 144 mm tall and 71 mm wide, battery lasts two more hours than iPhone 7.
- Screen: 5.8-inch OLED super retina display, bezel-less screen covering most of the front with a small indent at the top of the phone for facial recognition camera, called the True Depth camera system.
- Cost: $999 for 64GB, higher cost for 256GB.
The iPhone X also introduces some completely new features. The iconic home button is now gone, though a virtual home button can be added by users if needed. Facial recognition is also being introduced, aided by a 3D camera. This allows the iPhone X to be unlocked simply by looking at the device. Face ID uses a neural engine with machine learning algorithms to combine the once separate software and hardware teams from Apple. You can also authenticate purchases or downloads, mute notifications when looking at the screen, or even customize emojis.
With Face ID, there is a one in a million chance that a random person can open your phone with the ID recognition. That number was one in 50,000 for Touch ID.
Wireless charging is also a new feature. The iPhone 7 removed the headphone jack, which meant users could not listen to music through the Lightning port and charge at the same time. This new feature means you can plug in some wired headphones and just place your phone on the charging area and get the best of both worlds once again.
Swipe up from the bottom to go to the home screen. If you pause while swiping up, you can enter the multitasking mode. Siri will be activated by pressing the side button or by asking "Hey Siri" as usual. Swipe down from the top for the control center.
The iPhone X will be available for preorder October 27 and ships November 3.
"Wayne Gretzky's quote, 'I want to skate to where the puck will be going, not where it's been,' that's the iPhone X." – Tim Cook
iPhone 8 Plus
- Hardware: 3GB of RAM, A11 Bionic processor chip, 12MP dual sensor camera.
- Screen: 5.5 inch retina display.
- Features: New speakers are 25 per cent louder, stronger processing at half the battery power, wireless charging on a pad.
- Cost: $799 for 64GB, higher cost for more memory.
Glass front and back with an aluminum band, and the strongest screen available in a smartphone. The cameras have completely new imaging engines which allow for the best photos the company's mobile devices have ever taken. There are new features related to the portrait mode for photos, allowing you to control contouring and lighting.
Wireless charging will use Qi charging standards. Apple's hope is to increase the widespread adoption of the platform, from cars to airports to coffee shops.
Details around how the new devices will use augmented reality were also touched on. The hardware is tuned for AR specifically. For example, an app that details constellations and stars in real time, and even app integration with Major League Baseball so you can track players live at the ballpark was previewed.
The iPhone 8 Plus will be available for preorder on September 15 and hit stores Septemeber 22. The colors available to choose from are silver, space grey and a new gold finish. Take a look below for some more details on the iPhone 8.
iPhone 8
- Hardware: 2GB of RAM, A11 Bionic processor chip, 12MP sensor camera.
- Screen: 4.7 inch retina display.
- Features: New speakers are 25 per cent louder, stronger processing at half the battery power, wireless charging on a pad.
- Cost: $699 for 64GB, higher cost for more memory.
The iPhone 8 will be available for preorder on September 15 and hit stores Septemeber 22.
If you want to compare any of these new phones to last year's offerings, the iPhone 7 Plus has 3GB of RAM, a dual 12MP camera, A10 processor and memory storage of 32, 128 or 256 GB. The iPhone 7 had similar specs but only 2GB of RAM.
What Now?
Apple's new mobile offerings come at an important moment for the company, as it continues to try and edge out the main competitors in the smartphone world. Huawei recently surpassed Apple for second place in terms of global sales, but that came at a natural lull for Apple devices and these new products will surely boost the company back into second behind clear-cut leader Samsung.
One problem Apple may run into are the rumors surrounding production delays of the new devices that have swirled over the past couple of weeks. A report in the Wall Street Journal detailed glitches that occurred, possibly causing a delay in production of the iPhone X and the other new releases. An unconfirmed report said that Apple was only able to manufacture 10,000 of the new phones a day, which is an almost unbelievably small number compared to the tens of millions of sales that will be made leading up to the holidays.
It's unknown how (or if at all) these rumors will affect sales or preorders, but count on the fact that buying an iPhone X might take a little bit of extra effort.

On Wednesday, Kapaun Mount Carmel announced via a press release that there will be a "change in leadership" in the football program.
Dan Adelhardt coached Kapaun for 15 seasons and led the Crusaders to the Class 5A semifinals in 2013. Kapaun was 2-7 this season.
According to the press release, Kapaun president Rob Knapp announced an immediate start to a coaching search.
"We want to thank the coaches for their dedication to the Crusader football program," Knapp said in the press release. "We also want to reassure the Kapaun Mt. Carmel community of our commitment to the legacy of KMC athletes."
Adelhardt texted a statement that he was asked to resign or be fired on Nov. 14. He chose to be fired.
"I made the choice to model for my players, my students and my son the strength of living the character and values for which I have always taught them," Adelhardt wrote. "For me, resigning equates to quitting and was, therefore, not an option."
He wrote that he will continue as a teacher at Kapaun.

How To Help Your Candy Inventory Beat The Heat
2 min reading time
2 min reading time
With summer in full swing, temperatures are heating up across the country. It's an important time of year to ensure that you're taking the necessary precautions to keep your confectionery inventory safe from the summer heat. Temperature plays a key role in the quality and freshness of candy and chocolate and we want to give you a few tips to help you preserve your precious inventory so you can offer your customers the best possible products.
Plan Shipments Accordingly
During the summer, it's crucial to bring your deliveries indoors right away to keep them from getting too warm. Due to summer holidays and vacations, your business may be closed at certain points during the season. Don't place any orders for confectionery items that may arrive to your business when you're closed to avoid packages being left out in the heat.
Store Back Stock Properly
Store confectionery items at approximately 65 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure optimum quality. At this temperature, you will be able to keep just about every kind or candy, chocolate and other confectionery item at its best. Be mindful of stock rooms that may not be temperature controlled or that may not be at a suitable temperature for confectionery items.
Ensure Proper Display Temperatures Once your confectionery items hit the sales floor, it's important that they're still kept at a suitable temperature. Spotlights can be a dangerous heat source that if directed towards your candy can cause them to melt. Display cases and storage areas under sales counters that retain heat can also cause damage to your products. Also, take care when displaying confectionery items near doors or windows that may let heat in when open or that allow a lot of sun in that can cause melting.
Read Product Packaging
Whenever you're not sure about how a particular product needs to be handled or stored, check the box it was shipped in or the individual packaging for the information you need. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to the friendly staff here at Royal Wholesale for assistance.
Order Only What You Need
If you're short on appropriate display or storage space for your confectionery products, simply place smaller orders that are just enough to fill your shelves. With easy ordering, fast shipping and over 4,000 items in stock, Royal Wholesale can keep you fully stocked on a regular basis.

EnduroSat Hosts IBM Technologies on its Shared Satellite Mission
EnduroSat has teamed up with IBM and Red Hat for open source, hybrid cloud, and AI technologies on its satellite that recently launched as part of the SpaceX Transporter-5 rideshare mission. Earth observation and in-orbit Edge Computing payloads from IBM were integrated on EnduroSat's nanosatellite Platform-1.
The partnership between EnduroSat and IBM is working to help developers and students process space data before it reaches the ground. IBM's project, codenamed 'Endurance,' uses IBM's edge computing in space solution. In a hybrid cloud environment, student participants will be able to securely host, access and push code on IBM Cloud, which will connect to EnduroSat's Digital Mission environment, then a ground station, and ultimately, the nanosat. This is part of EnduroSat's shared satellite service, which aims to provide entrepreneurs, scientists, and technologists easy access to space.
Five teams of students have been selected to work with the IBM development for this project. The teams are from P-TECH 535 in Rochester, Minnesota; Falcon Tech in Longmont, Colorado; Leeds City College in the United Kingdom; and two teams from National Taipei University of Technology in Taiwan.
"We are thrilled to welcome IBM onboard our Shared Sat Missions. We are excited to see the rapid data services deployment and the innovations that our partners are unleashing in orbit. The collaboration between EnduroSat and IBM is a major step in bringing space closer to users on the ground," Raycho Raychev, founder and CEO of EnduroSat, said in a statement.

Something For Everyone
The conference's sessions were divided into 6 tracks. All the talks seemed so interesting that I sometimes had to do eenie meenie minie mo to choose which one to go to.
- Educator/Outreach
- Family Basics
- Diversity & Special Issues
- Co-Occurring Conditions
- Treatment
- NEDA Hosted
Conference Highlights
Lobby Day Despite the government shutdown and rainy weather hundreds of passionate lobbyists marched to Capitol Hill and met with members of Congress to educate them about eating disorders and urge them to support eating disorder legislation. If this sounds interesting to you, there are many opportunities outside of Lobby Day to make a difference. Solutions Through Advocacy & Reform (STAR) Program, a NEDA program, run by amazing volunteers helps increase awareness of eating disorders, gain funding for important programs and advocate for early intervention nationwide.
Advocates NEDA offers a very unique conference experience because it goes beyond just the latest research and science in the field and unites people with all different connections to eating disorders. One important group that was represented in strong numbers were advocates of recovery. I was proud to be amongst so many amazing people representing Recovery Warriors and the Rise Up: Overcome Your Eating Disorder app. Recovery is possible and there was a lot of living proof at the conference.
Great Organizations at the Conference
Scholarships & Volunteerism NEDA awarded scholarships to attend the conference and gave generous discounts to volunteers. For many, attending the conference would not have been possible without these financial breaks. I actually got to have lunch with a Recovery Warrior and got to know her on a more personal level. Not to my surprise, she is a beautiful, motivated, compassionate, sensitive, and goal-oriented woman. In my experience, whenever you strip the eating disorder away from a person a radiant being is always beneath with so many gifts to share with the world.
Family Involvement Parents were very open sharing their heartaches and struggles. I was most impressed with a conversation I had with father Don Blackwell over his experience of having a daughter come close to death's door and successfully recover. He authored the book Dear Ashley: A Father's Reflections and Letters to His Daughter on Life, Love, and Hope. After listening to him articulate his experience so well, this is one book I can't wait to read!
Media Literacy Almost every talk I sat in mentioned in one way or another the cultural and societal pressures to conform to a certain body image and the negative role it plays in perpetuating eating disorders. "Media literate" is a term used to describe the act of being a conscious consumer and creator of content. Dissecting media images and messages for what they really are and understanding their intention is an important and helpful skill to have and practice on a daily basis. The video below is a parody of Photoshop and uses humor to encourage us to be more mindful of the medias messages.
Next year the NEDA conference will be in San Antonio, Texas October 16-18. I hope to see ya' all there!

Azacca works well as a dual-use hop, giving off a pleasant mix of tropical fruits kissed with citrus. On the palate its particularly spicy, with mango, pineapple and some pine and tangerine qualities. It has also been likened in nature to some New Zealand-bred varieties.

Johnny's List of Quirky Boston Events: 06/14/07
Hi everyone,
This is the scoop on New England activities this week.
TONIGHT! Willie Nelson & family perform at the Cape Cod Melody Tent, 21 West Main Street, Hyannis, MA, 508-775-5630.
The weird event of the week is the Sandcastle Festival in Hampton Beach, NH. There's also one in Revere which I'll notify you of later. June 15-28. Awards night is the last Saturday, then fireworks. Competition is invitation only, looks great. They have fireworks at 9:30pm every Wednesday Jul-Aug, too. http://www.hamptonbeach.org
Ladies of the 80s Sing-A-Long, June 15-16, at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA. Basically, you show up, you dance in the aisles, wear a costume, sing. It's like Rocky Horror Picture Show, but for normal people. http://www.coolidge.org/ladies80s
Also, I'm very excited about the Quechee Balloon Festival & Crafts Fair! I wish I were going. It is June 15-17, Main Green, Route 4, Quechee, VT. 800-295-5451. And you definitely want to sign up for balloon rides in advance. If you were curious, no, there are no balloon festivals close to Boston. Because balloons really cannot be steered, they don't want to run the risk of dropping in on a building. http://www.quechee.com/balloonfest.cfm
I'm not sure how weird this is. Have you ever heard of Car Talk, the radio show from NPR? Two MIT alumni laugh it up and have a surprisingly engaging show which is ostensibly about cars but is accessible to anyone. They are doing a fundraising and celebrating their 20th anniversary of being on the air. Car Talk 20th Anniversary, June 16, Cambridge. http://www.wbur.org
Sometimes the best festivals are the ones where you get to experience another culture entirely. For example, there is a local Greek festival June 15-17, at Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 14 Magazine Street, Cambridge. I believe that's Friday 5-11pm, Sat 12-11pm, Sun 5-10pm. Go, it's like a tiny sliver of visiting Greece. http://www.yasas.com/greek-festivals.as
Also a German Festival that's not in Ocktober, a nice treat. It's Sommerfest, June 16-17, in Walpole, MA. It's the summer version of the German Oktoberfest. Basically, you drink a ton of beer, but in June not October. Ethnic food and polka music. These people are serious, their New England club has been around for over a century. I'm sure it will be very much like visiting the Fatherland. http://www.germanclub.org
Going to the other end of the size spectrum, two apparently disconnected river festivals are this weekend. Let's start with the Cambridge River Festival is June 16, Cambridge, MA. 617-349-4380. 12pm-6pm. Rain or shine. Along Memorial Drive b/w Harvard & Central Squares. Music, crafts, dance, poetry, kids stuff, and they're shutting off the street so that's totally sticking it to the Man! So don't bother driving through Cambridge that day. Way to build a dysfunctional Utopia! Never mind. http://www.ci.cambridge.ma.us/~CAC/
As a totally separate event, and don't think they aren't competing for tourist dollars and nobody cares, Riverfest is a festival in Concord area. Boat rides, sculpture walk, river walk, music, canoe trek, scavenger hunt, nature walks. It looks far more interesting than the Cambridge event, but — it's not really a festival in one location. It is more like 30 loosely connected events in differing locations. So see the Web schedule. 617-223-5225. June 16-17. http://www.sudbury-assabet-concord.org
The Special Olympics Summer Games are June 15-17. Aren't you special? Well, if not how about signing up as a volunteer, or just stop by to cheer them on. I volunteered once and it was fun, helped to personalize in my mind a part of humanity I'd never interacted with. Cambridge, MA. http://www.specialolympicsma.org/ev
I saw yet another charity walk last week, one that I hadn't listed. Here's yet another. Boston Prostate Cancer Walk, Boston Common, Boston, MA. http://www.bostonpcwalk.org
Three re-enactments are happening this week! First, Janeane Garofalo is re-enacting her time as a celebrity comedienne, in a show with Patton Oswalt. Berklee Performance Center, Boston, MA. Jun 17. http://www.berkleebpc.com
More to the point, there is a Henry David Thoreau re-enactment on June 17, at the Concord Museum. Concord, MA. 11am, 12pm, 1pm, free with museum admission. Meet Thoreau and learn about his two-week hiking trip in 1839. http://www.concordmuseum.org
While you're in Concord, they are doing a Town Meeting Re-Enactment from 1774. Basically olde-timey commoners get together and talk about British rule and independence. I bet that's interesting! June 17, at the North Bridge benches in Concord, MA. 1:30pm and then again at 3pm. It's also happening July 15.
Also weird, the Caffeine Dream and Ice Cream Sundae Afternoon, June 15 at MIT, at the Stata Lobby. Cambridge, MA. Sadly, it is not free. 3pm, $6.50/pp (incl. one sundae, one coffee, and one bottled water). Hmm, and potentially you needed to buy in advance… not sure what they were thinking, selling advance tickets to what is essentially a drop-by kind of event. http://web.mit.edu/mitac
In terms of performances and other less weird things, Indian Ink is a play by Tom Stoppard, the fellow behind Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and the screenplay for Shakespeare In Love. June 15 – July 1. Plaza Theatre, Boston Center for the Arts, 539 Tremont Street, Boston MA. 617-933-8600. http://www.smallworldbigsky.com/
It's flag day in Quincy!!! Yay!!
No seriously, what is Flag Day? Sounds like a placeholder holiday they haven't named after anyone yet.
Anyway, Quincy Flag Day Parade and Celebration, June 16, Quincy, MA. They're having a parade and fireworks, it might be engaging. http://ci.quincy.ma.us/progflagday.asp
Billy Connolly is a comedian performing at Harvard. I've heard him and he's fantastic. Jun 12-16. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/cal
The Provincetown International Film Festival is June 13-17. I don't normally approve of film festivals (too sedate, and I'm allowed to have an opinion, start your own blog) but if it gets you to go to Cape Cod, great! I haven't been in ages and would love to hear, besides the beach, what there is to do on Cape Cod. http://www.ptownfilmfest.org
Have you heard of Riverdance? You know, the Irish stepdancing thing with Michael Flatley (or without, I heard he was a prima donna and quit). Anyway! It is coming to Boston. June 20 – July 8. http://www.citicenter.org/
Ongoing events I've mentioned before: Love's Labour's Lost to Jun 24, http://www.actorsshakespeareproject.o
Heads up, if you want to sign up for the International Dance & Music Camp @ Plymouth, now would be good because it is June 21-28. http://www.facone.org
Also, I am running a live roleplaying game June 24, in Cambridge, based on Harry Potter and the Terry Pratchett Discworld series. Email me to get a copy of the blurb.
Hope everyone is well. If you enjoy this blog I could use a motivational email today! My tiny company is launching its new product, which by the way is an engine for world domination, um, I mean, gathering activities from Web sites.

Braimah "Bukom Banku" Kamoko won a 12-round unanimous decision over rival Ayittey Powers on Thursday to run his perfect record to 27-0 in a non-title "Judgement Day" bout.
The 34-year-old Bukom based boxer won after the three judges scored the bout 117-109, 119-100 and 120-108.
Powers started the bout on a strong note but soon began to lose momentum in the bout as he failed to follow up on the punches that forced Banku open.
Bukom Banku got into his groove in the second round and dictated the pace with a flurry of punches with Powers going on the defensive.
For the rest of the bout, Banku went after Powers and landed most of the power punches mostly due to his punching combinations and movement.
The boxer surprised the fans with his skillful boxing techniques and even had time to toy with the tired Powers who could not keep up with the flow of punches.
Braimah Kamoko improves his record to 27-0 while Ayitey Powers drops to 18-24-1.

Labor Day weekend is around the corner, which means travelers will be hitting the road to visit friends and family. To help customers save time and money on road trips, starting Wednesday August 30, NC Quick Pass will start offering free NC Quick Pass transponders and 60 percent off NC Quick Pass E-ZPass compatible transponders ($7.40 + tax).
"We are excited to offer for the first time free NC Quick Pass transponders," says Turnpike Authority Executive Director Beau Memory. "This will be a game-changer for our customers, as they can now save 35 percent on their tolls with a free transponder."
Customers needing a transponder before Labor Day weekend should visit the customer service center at 200 Sorrell Grove Church Road. Online, mail and phone orders will be mailed in a few business days.
The NC Quick Pass transponder provides drivers with up to 35 percent off tolls when traveling locally on the Triangle Expressway. It can also be used on facilities in Florida and Georgia. The NC Quick Pass transponder has previously cost customers $5.00.
The NC Quick Pass E-ZPass can also be used on toll highways and bridges along the East Coast where the E-ZPass, Sun Pass and Peach Pass are accepted. The transponder works at over 50 participating toll facilities, located in the following 18 states: North Carolina; Delaware; Florida; Georgia; Illinois; Indiana; Kentucky; Maine; Maryland; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; Ohio; Pennsylvania; Rhode Island; Virginia; and West Virginia. The NC Quick Pass E-ZPass originally cost customers $20.00.
Once you set up your NC Quick Pass account and place the transponder on the inside of your windshield, you are ready to go.
You can get more information on how to sign up for a transponder and maintain your account on the NC Quick Pass website by calling the customer service center at 1-877-7MY-PASS (1-877-769-7277), or by visiting the service center at 200 Sorrell Grove Church Road, Suite A, in Morrisville (off Airport Boulevard, Exit 284, south of I-40).
