If you received a letter from NHS Scotland offering you this seasons Influenza Vaccine, please telephone the surgery (NOT NHS Inform) to arrange an appointment.
We now have an initial supply of the vaccine for those that have received this invite and clinics are now underway.
If you are currently housebound - due to your medical condition - please let us know and we can arrange for one of the Community Nurses to attend with the vaccine.
The Child Vaccine - Fluenz - will not be available until the beginning of November, once the Primary Schools have completed their vaccination programme. Therefore please telephone then if you require your child to receive this, or they missed the School Clinics.
If you do not wish to receive this vaccine, please also let us know so we don't bother you again during the vaccination season - which runs until the 31st of March 2021.
If you are over 65 and not had this in the past, you will be eligible for this free vaccine, which can be given at the same time as your Influenza vaccine - if we have any!
Again this year (as in the past two years) we have no word that a supply of this vaccine is available. If we do get a supply, and you wish to receive this vaccine, please let us know, as we will keep a waiting list.
These are available all year round. If you are aged 70 - 79 inclusive as at 1.9.20 you can receive this free vaccine.
Remember our online ordering service to save you time and speed up delivery of your prescriptions. Otherwise phone your usual chemist directly. We cannot accept requests over the telephone - and haven't since 2007 - as we need to keep our line free for medical emergencies.
You can register on our website and order your medications at a time that suits you, so if you are taking your tablets at night and you notice you only have a few left, you can log-on to our website and place the order straight away. We check these requests twice a day and offer the same 48-hour turnaround as your pharmacist. If you are in the situation where you have miscalculated and are down to your last tablet/s please indicate this on your website request and we can arrange for this to be collected at the surgery after 5.00pm on the same day.
Please note that if you call the pharmacist directly they can take your request for you for any repeat medication and any other medication that you have previously been prescribed eg: an antibiotic cream or a antihistamine tablet. You should always call them in the first instance.
We will never see you go without the medications you need to keep you healthy, so please do call us in the event of an emergency.
We are getting rising numbers of patients not attending for pre-booked appointments and this results in delays for all patients being seen. Demand for appointments is high so a patient who misses their appointment may need to wait some time to be seen again. Reasons for missing appointments are variable and we understand that it cannot always be avoided.
We are now sending appointment reminders via text to your mobile phone, to try and improve the rate of attendance. This is the same type of service currently being offered by local dentists and by Hospital Outpatient Departments, with good effect.
Please can you let us know your current mobile number so we can send reminders for your future appointments.
There are forms available at reception, which you can complete with your current number or you can do this via our Change of Details button on our website.
You do have the option to opt out of this service, should you wish, to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations.
We are keen to keep to the NHS target of offering patients an appointment within 48 hours and we are hopeful that this initiative will improve things.
Since November 2011, patients aged over 50 years and over will have received a Bowel Screening Kit in the post. These kits will be sent to all patients every two years. We would encourage all patients who receive the kit to do the test and return the kit in the envelope provided. Our surgery has an uptake just slightly above the Scottish average of 52% for men and 58% for women. We would like to improve this and ask that you express any concerns you have at your next appointment.
The testing kits have been updated and are now a single, easy to obtain sample kit.
Statistics prove that survival rates increase with early detection—up to 17% - with overall survival averaging 55%. Cancer isn't what it used to be and people can live well with early detection. Don't be scared to ask your GP or our practice nurse if you feel you have symptoms suggestive of bowel cancer. Visit the Scottish Bowel Screening Programme website for more information at:-
or phone the number below if you have misplaced your kit and wish to be tested.

Stop the presses - The New Daily to have no paywall
By: Peter Ryan
TONY EASTLEY: From this morning, there's a new player in Australia's cut-throat news media industry, but there's not a media magnate in sight.
Instead, The New Daily will be bankrolled by three industry superannuation funds, and unlike the online mastheads from Fairfax and News Corporation, The New Daily won't have a paywall.
Like The Guardian and The Global Mail, this new entrant is promising a quality product at a time when hard-copy newspapers are hurting from dwindling sales and advertising revenue.
Bruce Guthrie, a former editor of The Age and the Herald Sun, is The New Daily's editorial director. He's speaking to our business editor Peter Ryan.
BRUCE GUTHRIE: Well I think first and foremost, it's a true digital-only product. It hasn't been a newspaper in the past that was dragged kicking and screaming into the digital age. It wasn't a TV station. We've created this from the ground up to be digital and only digital.
But significantly, and I think it is becoming even more significant, it's free and it always will be free.
PETER RYAN: You've been editor-in-chief at The Age and the Herald Sun so you know how tough things are at the moment. But does The New Daily have what it takes to compete with those big online players?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: In a sense we're not realty competing with those players. To me, they put a lot of material up there every day. It's almost journalism by the yard, as I call it. They throw a lot of stories up there in the hope that some get traction and if they don't they take them down and they'll put up another story and just kind of an endless search for clicks.
PETER RYAN: Well just looking at this morning's first edition hot off the internet (laughter), you have some wire service stories from the Australian Associated Press and also you appear to have a deal with the ABC. So what is the point of difference and are you planning to have your own original journalism?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: Yes, our main content partners are indeed AAP and the ABC. But yes, we are generating our own content. For instance, today Steve Vizard is writing on television, Kirstie Clements is writing on fashion, Rodney Hogg is writing on cricket. And that will happen more and more as we gather momentum, Peter.
PETER RYAN: You're being bankrolled by three big superannuation funds - Cbus, Australian Super and Industries Super. Are they expecting a return on their investment, given that there is no paywall?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: Look I think their expectations are realistic. Garry Weaven, who is the chairman of The New Daily Propriety Limited, has said that eventually in the medium term, and we're probably talking somewhere between three and five years, this should pay for itself at least and then move into profit.
PETER RYAN: And have those industry super backers put any time limit on how long they're prepared to commit to not having a paywall?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: Well the commitment is open-ended. Look, I think the superannuation industry super funds really see this as a member benefit and also a member engagement tool. So this is a way to kind of retain members, perhaps attract them and so their commitment is open-ended.
PETER RYAN: So does that mean that those industry super backers would have any say on what The New Daily reports in the area, for example, of business finance or superannuation?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: No, look very happily they've agreed to an editorial charter which I wrote and that sets out how we will cover stories and it's made clear that whether it's superannuation, politics, industrial relations, we'll cover it without fear or favour, we'll give everyone their side, their side of the story, but we won't be slanting stories.
PETER RYAN: We've seen a couple of launches of similar products over the last couple of years with a lot of PR and promises. Will The New Daily still be with us in a year's time or so?
BRUCE GUTHRIE: (Laughs) Well I'd like to think so Peter and look, the audience ultimately will decide that. We're very, very confident that we can deliver a daily package that's going to be compelling.
TONY EASTLEY: The New Daily's editorial director, Bruce Guthrie, speaking to our business editor Peter Ryan.

Julene Mechler
Julene Mechler (1912 – 2005) was a Hawaiian commercial artist and sculptor who created a range of ceramic figurines based on her sculptures. The figurines were made during the 1950s and 60s, and are highly collectible today. Each model was cast and hand-painted by Mechler herself, and the range features a cast of native Hawaiian characters.
The majority of her figurines were female, and the small number of male models she created are highly sought after. Figurines can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending on the quality and rarity.

Offensive Graffiti Should Be Removed From Signage at Entrance to Princeton
To the Editor:
Recently I learned that a graffiti outlaw wrote an expletive on signage at the entrance of Princeton Township. Even though this sign will most likely be removed and replaced with a new one when the consolidation becomes official, I firmly believe that the graffiti should be removed as quickly as possible. I have written letters to two members of Princeton Township Committee that I sincerely hope will result in the quick removal of the graffiti. Studies have shown that when graffiti goes uncorrected it creates more graffiti.

Ahead of next week's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, watch a new clip from animator Bill Plympton's latest feature, Cheatin'.
Ahead of next week's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, The Hollywood Reporter has an exclusive look at animator Bill Plympton's newest feature, Cheatin'.
Billed as an animated adult tale of love, jealousy, revenge and murder, Cheatin' is full of nudity, violence, and Plympton's surreal sense of humor:
In a fateful bumper car collision, Jake and Ella meet and become the most loving couple in the long history of Romance. But when a scheming "other" woman drives a wedge of jealousy into their perfect courtship, insecurity and hatred spell out an untimely fate. With only the help of a disgraced magician and his forbidden "soul machine," Ella takes the form of Jake's numerous lovers, desperately fighting through malfunction and deceit as they try to reclaim their destiny.
The two-minute video shows the frighteningly muscular Jake arming up with enough outlandish weapons to cover his massive physique.
Watch it, below: Head over to THR to watch the video.
Plympton raised $100,000 for the project on Kickstarter and hand-made each of the 40,000 illustrations that compose the film. During his noon panel on Thursday in Comic-Con's Room 23ABC, Plympton will announce official release details for Cheatin', slated for sometime next month, in addition to sharing clips from the upcoming film and his other recent work. The following day Comic-Con will also stream Plympton's short film Drunker Than a Skunk 2 in Hall 2 of the Marriott Marquis and Arena.

兩國聲明強調,香港的引渡安排應符合一國兩制、尊重香港的高度自治,指兩國在與香港政府的對話中,明確表達了有關意見。修例內容需要受到最嚴格的監察,包括立法會。兩國促請香港政府,與本地及國際的團體充份溝通, 以確保他們的關注得到充分考慮,並預留時間考慮其他方案和保障措施。
The UK and Canada have issued a joint statement about concerns for their citizens in light of proposed changes to extradition laws in Hong Kong.
Joint statement by Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland:
"We have been following the proposals of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance. It is clear that the proposals have generated significant debate in Hong Kong, in particular in relation to removing the territorial restrictions on extradition to mainland China.
"We are concerned about the potential effect of these proposals on the large number of UK and Canadian citizens in Hong Kong, on business confidence and on Hong Kong's international reputation. Furthermore, we believe that there is a risk that the proposals could impact negatively on the rights and freedoms set down in the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It is vital that extradition arrangements in Hong Kong are in line with 'One Country, Two Systems' and fully respect Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy. We have made these views clear in our respective conversations with the Hong Kong Government.
"It is important that these proposals are subject to the highest levels of scrutiny, including in the Legislative Council. We urge the Hong Kong Government to engage meaningfully with Hong Kong's broad range of local and international stakeholders in order to ensure their concerns are fully considered. We believe that the Hong Kong Government should allow time to give proper consideration of all alternative options and safeguards."

SFX Knives and Weapons
If you are working on a project which requires a knife or weapon being used in any type of stunt capacity, you always want to have an actor safe FX version that will not harm them in anyway. Doug specializes in being able to duplicate (or create from scratch) any kind of weapon you can imagine. The weapons can also be cast in any type of durable material (foam, urethane, soft or rigid plastic and more). This enables film crews to have multiple versions that are camera and actor safe but also look and feel the same as a real weapon on camera, as well as FX versions that can be retractable or incorporate spraying blood FX as well.
If you have a scene which requires many actors to have the same or similar weapons, Sakmann can also produce multiples at a very cost effective price. Or if you're just looking for a FX knife or weapon to rent for a day shoot Doug has a full arsenal that can be made available, send an EMAIL TO firstname.lastname@example.com for custom quotes and more info.
Below are some samples of some of Doug's custom knife work, including a 24″ folding saw blade and various knives including some with built in magnets for stabbing FX.

Sec. Sebelius Defends Health Law
With the one-year anniversary of the health-reform law on March 23, the Obama administration's top health official tells WSJ's Janet Adamy why the law remains unpopular with Americans and what benefits consumers will see from it in the coming months.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... welcome to Wall Street Journal I'm CNI at me ... and Tracy By Kathleen Veolia's ... said three civilians says the administration's top ... health official ... next week marks the eye and the one-year anniversary of the health care overhaul law ... and no one in Washington had a bigger ... role in seeking Kanoute was play now and the Secretary ... things for joining us today ... to tell us what what are the major things that have been enacted so far been a lot ... but industry said that being PM ... activities were around the most fragile parts of the insurance market and can we now have some ... stability in place so ... parents Sally and Intel's can now keep those that don't children on a family policy because what we knew is that ... and dont wanna largest number of uninsured were ... again people aged eighteen ... to thirty in for jiggling The stock market often weren't inch up with health insurance and that has convened fixed ... we've got some new health going to ... employ years for providing coverage and near retirees that's been a very popular part of the plan and ... that can destabilize that markets are retirees it ... or not yet Medicare eligible are shopping in the open market for their policies ... new set of rules for insurance company ... may have to follow ... medical loss ratio for the first ten eighty percent of premium dollars cut in health costs and ... overhead costs ... if the new rules about accountability ... Medicare are actually has some ... improvements to the so-called doughnut hole a gap in prescription coverage ... I ... has started to close this year there's a fifty percent discount ... and for brand name drugs last year ... that history section data to and fifty dollars check to help defray some of the cost of restaurants and ... an annual wellness visit has been an into everybody's Medicare benefit time ... says some of the insurance changes that parents with ... children with preexisting health conditions now ... are able to buy policies ... in the past insurance companies can just deny coverage to kids who have preexisting health conditions ... and I would say that you know at the start ... in twenty ten those were the first pieces of the puzzle that began to be changed to those of obviously been positive provisions for consumers ... despite that the law remains somewhat unpopular the polling shows that ... Americans are halfway to be divided in half over whether they support the law ... whether they're against the wild winds you think the law ... has been a difficult sell with the public ... I think this is a comprehensive proposal that implemented over time so a lot of people ... they really haven't seen much happening so far in their little uncertain about what would be the is that what happened and what we find is that as people begin to connect with the benefit so if your senior ... year more aware of this point about the new benefit and down ... and take time and ... opportunities there are eight year small business owner an air taking advantage of the tax credit that is now available that prevent a ... picture you keep your employees covered didn't get some breaks ... but for a lot of people that changes are personally and ... I'm really encouraged him and I'm back ... again the polling numbers that say most Americans dont wanna go back they don't want to revisit the fight for the past if they're things that need to be fixed ... now let's work and fix some five don't want to ... essentially I'm ... in a move move backward from the progress that are now seeing ... a lot of Americans who've seen their insurance premiums go up some people assume their benefits ... get narrower why some people feel like to was actually happening when they're seeing it for a lot of people ... the reality about their insurance and says those things I just mentioned ... well actually wear now I'm just about a year into the am band ... passage of the Affordable Care Act and what ... you know well and I'm ... some of your ... viewers may not know quite so well is that this is a market that was really ... on a downward spiral ... for ... and the last decade at least where ... rates were skyrocketing for business owners for families for ... employers for governments ... and benefits for getting more and more narrow more people were uninsured in fact we have the highest number of uninsured ... ever since this country began counting ... and what happened is the younger healthier people were dropping out older and sicker people were staying in because they were desperate to keep their coverage so ... they are the Graetz continued to skyrocket when accuracy and dramatic change in those freeze ... until we have the new market ... the new ... exchange is available competitive ... private plans round of the state level where people can pick and choose and ... those who need some ... income assistance will have help purchasing health insurance that's when ... we anticipate what the Congressional Budget Office anticipate a real ... had a market shift in the meantime debris strategy is to try and stabilize what was really a disintegrating ... private health insurance market ... and that of course thirteen twenty fourteen ... the new exchange is to write and new opportunities ... that we've we've heard a lot from that Obama administration lately about flexibility which had a lot of last month the president said that he would ... allow states to more quickly ... to love their own alternative systems for an expansion of coverage ... under the law as we see the ministry says also that a repeal of the small business tax reporting conditional on ... time ... what other specific areas of the Y T C the administration ... identifying as areas where there needs to be more flexibility ... well let me issue and down and see ... opportunities to look at alternative mechanisms and was part of the Affordable Care Act from the start it was written into the line ... it was an option that was than ... going to be available in twenty seventeen with the president into worst isn't Bill bipartisan ... Senate bill that pending now and Congress that said ... that the weight of twenty seventeen financing flexibility let's move that data up to twenty four teams to the concept always has been there would be an earlier start and ... hopefully Congress will take a serious look at that ... I think what what is part of the whole framework of the bill in spite of the critics ... I am best at that ... opportunities to brand this is a government takeover it really ... is about state flexibility so ... states are going to set up these this new marketplace and twenty three team estate basic changes and have a wide range of options from ... the so-called Hetal model where ... every insurer can participate to a more direct and my mom and now is in place in Massachusetts State star ... the regulatory ... oversight for insurance plan states are ... making decisions about their Medicaid beneficiaries and how that can fit into the overall section in fact ... I'm very enthusiastic about ... the ideas that are coming from governors who want really ... to have a new Brolin and not only what's happening in the ... public market that was always there are to deliver better care at lower cost on throughout the state and were really eager to work on that kind of ... flexible innovative strategy that's all part of the platform before appear in ... their particular areas where you see a good opportunity for trying to give more flexibility ... well I think yet again and some of those ideas are coming ... to us from state sell we are about to ... have rules Sun ... published in the next couple of weeks and ... for the so-called accountable Carrick and stations for doctors and hospitals to ... begin to work together ... with in a different strategy now with really bad results of higher ... quality care more measurable results and lowering costs and then they will really share ... as some of that responsibility be measured on Indian shares some of the savings ... what we have a couple of governors activist abandons they'd like to do then ... threat to state that like the whole state to be ... an accountable characterization those are the kinds of things that we're not going to ... Deakin shoes and what should be done it's not a one size fits all approach and I think ... status ... I you know I'm I'm a little biased and the former governor ... I can do feel that states are ... great Laboratories' of innovation and that's really what's going on right now in the health market what what works and one marketplace and one state ... may not work in another but Kinetic it should have a plan that says citizens Ashy California and they're gonna look very different and that's that's good news ... nearly half the seats in the country are suing the federal government over one part of the law that says ... most Americans have to have insurance or ... pay a fee do you think Congress should replace that piece of along ... now I think you know ... there was a careful ... contained in a thoughtful look at all the elements and really what you're talking about is ... is a component build its as if we were on insurance companies to get rid of the longstanding rules ... that allow them to band ...

Like many furry animals, cats' fur gets thicker in the winter to help protect them from the cold weather. When it gets warmer, they no longer need this fur, so they shed it. This works well in nature, and definitely helps your cat deal with the change in temperature, however, this is brutal to a clean home which now has loose cat fur everywhere!
There are ways to tame this fur so that it does not get all over your house. The best thing that you can do is to brush your cat regularly. Normally, a long-hair cat should be brushed daily, and a short hair cat should be brushed three times a week. Once you notice them shedding for the summer, you may wish to up this frequency.
I have found that the best cat brushes are the ones with metal tines. These get in deep to get all the loose hair in every layer of the cat's fur. The tines are generally close enough together that they capture the fur efficiently as well. These are also great because they give your cat a great massage, often the cats will begin to 'ask' for brushings! My favorite is the Furminator brush. A great advantage to using a metal brush is that it efficiently distributes the natural oils in your cats skin. This makes their coat look silky and feel smooth. You may have a preference for a different brush though. I have heard that the rubber molded ones work well too.
Another issue that your cat may have this times of year, in addition to losing a lot of fur, is that their claws will begin to molt too. This does not cause as big a problem as the fur, but you may find what looks like whole nails on the floor. These are just the molted bits, think of it as when a snake sheds its snake-skin.
After you have your cat's shedding under control, you will want to work on your home. You need to get rid of all that cat fur that has accumulated everywhere! For most fabrics, I would recommend a lint roller. Lint roll the fabrics before they go into the wash, or else you may clog up your washing machine. For the floor and other hard surface areas, try a microfiber cloth, or a dry Swiffer pad. These are both great at picking up dust and animal fur.

10 Thoughts on the Chicago Bulls in 2011-2012 (NBA Season Preview)
1. Derrick Rose wasn't the best player or most valuable in the NBA last year, but he's a truly elite player who both cares and has the talent to make his team a title contender. He's everything a first overall pick should be, and merely needs to fix his shot to ascend from the Top 10 to the Top 5.
2. Reason #1 Rose is a bit overrated is Tom Thibodeau. He's a truly fantastic coach as both teams that use his defense are the top 2 defensive teams in basketball. That isn't a coincidence, as he has his players playing smart and hard within a brilliant system.
3. And manning that system is the top collection of defensive bigs in basketball. First, let's discuss the star – Joakim Noah. In addition to an improving shot, great passing, and a good free throw rate, Noah is the second best help big in basketball, after Kevin Garnett. Given Garnett's age and Noah's work ethic, don't expect him to remain second for long. He's the heart of the team and all the attention paid Rose makes him one of the more underrated players in the league.
4. And, frighteningly, as good as he is on D, his backups might be better. Omer Asik is a mobile freak who's injury turned the entire conference finals on its head last year. He's terribly offensively, but so shut down on defense that, as a backup, it hardly matters. Then you add in Taj Gibson, and it just gets mean. Both fast and strong, Gibson is a game changer on defense. He blocks and rebounds, helps on bigs and guards, and is even reasonably capable offensively when set up. These two simply shut down the offense of whoever they're matched up against.
5. And it makes Carlos Boozer look worse than he is. Boozer played hurt, but is an excellent offensive complement to Rose and Noah makes up for a ton of his defensive deficiencies. Hopefully, now that he's healthy, Chicago will run actual plays for him, and he'll add a new dimension to their offense.
6. Also helping on offense will be newcomer Rip Hamilton. Hamilton's game is motion off screens and between the bigs mentioned earlier, the attention paid to Rose and Boozer should make him extremely effective. He's already a great team defender when he wants to be. The Bulls might even be favored above the Heat if their offensive production and creativity can in any way match their defensive intensity.
7. Earlier I called Noah among the most underrated players in the league and said this team might be favored against the Heat. In this series I've continually noted the importance of shooters and lockdown defenders. All of this is true in spades of Luol Deng. Deng is a good shooter, good athlete, and long defender who can really harass any opposing wing. With the defense behind him, he's absolutely lethal and may even be the key to this defense being so incredible – the bigs all have capable replacements, but Deng is irreplaceable on the roster.
8. As great as they are now, if they can keep Asik and Gibson, they stand poised to get better. Jimmy Butler gives the Bulls a second capable defensive wing who can shoot, and, eventually, Nikola Mirotic will come over and be a great scoring Euroball 3/4. Adding a shooting point-forward of this ability to the Bulls, even if it's in 3 years, just seems mean.
9. It'll be interesting to see what the Bulls do backing up at the wings. Kyle Korver adds much needed shooting and tries on defense, but Ronnie Brewer and Keith Bogans are bulldogs on D. The second unit lacks scorers, but things get interesting when we get a mix of starters and bench players, particularly against the other elite teams.
10. So, I love this team's construction, coaching and selflessness. They're my current title favorites this year if their offense comes together and they stay healthy. They should lead the league in wins and can now score enough that they should be able to let their defense lead them to the promised land.

Yesterday I took around 200 photos with the LG V10. I then compared the shots with those I had taken from the LG G4, and somehow the V10 even on stills takes better photos. Video is equally improved from the G4.
Below are some dog shots and photos of Dartmoor. The level of detail is excellent, from being able to zoom in on the grass on Fury's tongue (black labrador) and more.
I did record some video, although I can't share this for privacy reasons, but it is equally as impressive.

Passport and Visa
Applying for a Passport
What is a passport?
A passport is a government issued ID that is recognized all over the world, and it's required for you to have if you plan on leaving the country. Think of it as your "ticket to world travel." You'll need your passport before you can apply for any entry or study visas you might need as well. Applying for your passport is your crucial "Step 1" to studying abroad. Obtaining a passport can take quite a bit of time and can delay the visa process and flight reservations, so if you are planning on studying abroad and have not yet applied for your passport, you should do so immediately.
How do I apply?
If you have never applied for a passport or if you received your current passport before you were 16 years old, you'll need to apply for a new one, in person, at a US Post Office or other authorized passport acceptance facility. Your new passport will be valid for 10 years. Please follow the steps below to apply for your passport:
Step 1. Gather Your Documents
Make sure you have everything you need when you go to submit your passport application so you don't have to take two trips! The US Department of State website explains in detail what you'll need to bring with you when you apply for your passport. See the necessary documentation here.
Step 2. Prepare Your Application Package
Once you've gathered the necessary documentation, you'll need to print and complete your Form DS-11 Application for U.S. Passport. Remember that you must NOT sign your passport application until you submit the application at the Post Office. A Postal employee must witness the signature. You'll need to have a passport photo taken as well. Don't forget to calculate your passport fees, create photocopies of your ID and citizenship documents, and bring a 2x2 passport photo.
Step 3. Submit Your Application
Post Offices and other passport acceptance facilities have set hours for passport services, and some locations require appointments. Use the PO Locator Tool in order to find a location that will process your application. Many of these locations will take your 2x2 passport photo on site as well.
Important Notes
- Your passport application can take from 6-8 weeks to process. If you are departing from the United States within 5 months of applying for your passport, you will need to apply for expedited processing.
- Your passport must still be valid 6 months after you return to the US from your study abroad experience. If you currently have a passport that will expire before this time, you will need to have your passport renewed. Click here for instructions on how to renew your passport by mail.
- A passport is not the same as a visa, and you'll need to have your passport before you can apply for a visa. If you plan to study abroad in a country that requires a student visa, you will be guided through the visa application process by the OSA staff.

Dinner Tonight: Reuben Sandwich Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
The last time I had a Reuben sandwich was in a college cafeteria and it gave me food poisoning. My stomach turned against me and ugly things happened. I couldn't eat solid food for days, subsisting basically on chicken soup and water to get by, and thus formed a little aversion to the sandwich. It's not me, it's my stomach. Which all makes no sense because I love every individual component of the sandwich. That was years ago, and nothing like making something carefully from scratch to turn ingrained food aversions on their heads. But where to begin?
A Reuben is a fairly simple sandwich in theory. It's basically corned beef on rye bread topped with Russian or Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. The sandwich is then grilled until hot and delicious. Like they always seem to, Saveur has a great standard recipe. Plus you get to make the Russian dressing from scratch. Now, there is a little dispute about whether to use Russian dressing or Thousand Island, and I suppose if you have some Thousand Island dressing hanging out and ready to go, you might as well use that. I do think Russian is a tad more authentic, and that's what is created here. It's real easy.
This is an old school sandwich, and everything has it's place. The creamy dressing balances the sharp tang of the sauerkraut, and the the full flavored rye bread accentuates the cured corned beef. And, of course, the melted cheese brings it all together. My Reuben sandwich famine is officially and deliciously over.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated onion
- 1/2 teaspoon horseradish
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- butter, at room temperature
- 8 slices rye bread
- 8 slices swiss cheese
- 1 pound corned beef, sliced
- 2 cups sauerkraut, drained
- salt and pepper
Combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, parsley, onion, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
Construct the sandwiches. Rub one side of each of the slices of bread with a bit of butter. Flip four of those slices over and spread 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Top each with 2 slices of swiss cheese, 1/2 cup sauerkraut, 1/4 pound of corned beef, and final piece of bread.
Set a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Places the sandwiches on the pan and weigh down with another skillet or an iron skillet (you might need to do this in batches). Cook for about 5 minutes a side until the cheese has melted and the bread is nicely toasted. Serve up.

2 July 2014
Article by Amy Clifton, National Assembly for Wales Research Service
Public Health (Wales) Bill
One theme of the Welsh Government Public Health (Wales) Bill white paper is 'building community assets' – this includes a proposal to strengthen the role of local authorities in planning for the provision of and access to toilets for public use. The consultation closed on 24 June 2014.
In the white paper, the Welsh Government notes that there are public health and environmental costs to the wider community of inadequate toilet facilities.
The Welsh Government identifies a number of challenges with the current system governing public access to toilets, including:
- providing and maintaining public toilets in Wales is at the discretion of local authorities (there is no duty to provide them);
- public toilets are costly to local authorities and as a result, are under threat of closure across Wales;
- the current Community Toilet Grant Scheme (which reimburses local authorities for grants to local businesses for allowing free public access to toilets) is limited as it focuses purely on private establishments; and
- there is poor planning around making the best use of toilets within public buildings e.g. public libraries, sports centres, etc.
The white paper proposes a new duty on local authorities to develop a strategy (which could form part of the single integrated planning process) on the provision of and access to toilets for public use.
The strategy must be based on local community need, and consulted upon and reviewed on a regular basis. Local authorities would be required to consider the availability of toilets for public use in all aspects of planning. In particular, this could include the duty to consider how local authorities would use existing powers to ensure that adequate toilet facilities are provided for the public; and the availability of public toilets provided by the local authority and within public buildings e.g. in public libraries, community and town halls, sports centres, theatres and museums.
Assembly Health and Social Care Committee Inquiry
The Assembly's Health and Social Care Committee held a short inquiry into the 'Public health implications of inadequate public toilet facilities' during the winter of 2011/12 (following the submission of a petition to the Petitions Committee in June 2010).
The Committee heard evidence from various stakeholders and concluded that there is a public health case for better public toilet provision.
Witnesses told the Committee that inadequate public toilet provision has a disproportionate effect on certain sections of society, such as older and disabled people, children and those suffering from bladder or bowel conditions.
Evidence emphasised that a lack of adequate public toilets can severely affect a person's ability to leave the house and engage in the community. The Committee heard that the impact can include stress, isolation, depression, reduced mobility, effects on bladder and bowel function, dehydration, urinary tract infections and spread of infection.
Organisations like Age Cymru and the Welsh Senate for Older People called for a statutory duty on local authorities in Wales to provide adequate numbers of accessible public toilets across Wales.
People with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well as other serious impairments such as spinal injuries, multiple sclerosis or an acquired brain injury, often need extra facilities to those provided in standard disabled toilets. Changing Places toilets have extra features and more space to meet these needs. According to Changing Places, there are currently 24 changing places toilets in Wales.
The Committee concluded that a lack of adequate toilet provision can impact on an individual's physical and mental health, as well as the wider environmental health of the Welsh population, bringing implications for health and social services.

Mission Statement
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Naples is a Catholic lay organization whose members join together to grow spiritually by providing person-to-person service to the needy and suffering. We embrace all works of charity and justice and make no distinction in those served because in them we see the face of Christ.
Our Society serves everyone, regardless of creed, opinion, color, or origin. Simply, we help people.
Motivated by the teachings of Jesus Christ, when we see a need, we will prayerfully try and help. No act of charity is foreign to the Society :
"Verily, I say unto you, what you have done to the least of mine, you, have also done unto me". Matthew 25:45
How We Help the Poor
The Conferences of the Naples District
The eight Catholic parishes of Collier County all have a St. Vincent de Paul Conference, a parish-based volunteer group. Working closely with the parish, the conference operates independently from the parish. With the cooperation of the parish, the conference raises and disburses funds at its own discretion. Conferences raise funds through donations and fundraising projects. Although providing volunteers to help staff our two thrift stores, the responsibility of operating the thrift stores is that of the Council, and as such any monies generated also becomes used to help the less fortunate at the discretion of the council.
The conferences come together cooperatively to form the Council. The presidents of the conferences compromise the Council Board of Directors which governs the operation of the Naples Society.
Members of each conference fill a variety of roles in helping the poor. Members of the conferences, known as Vincentian, help serve the poor in many roles. Major among these positions:
- Casework
- Food Pantry Operations
- Meals on Wheels
- Thrift Store Operation
Caseworkers meet directly with those we help by meeting and conducting an interview to determine need. This is done at either at a home-visit with the person or family in need or in a meeting at our Family Assistance Center. Caseworkers will then prayerfully decide the best way to help, along with providing recommendations and referrals to other community agencies
Food Pantry Operations:
Our food pantry is stocked with donations from the parishes in Collier County, donations from
the Harry Chapin food bank, and items that are purchased by the Council. Those working in the pantry inventory, sort, and stock the shelves with food and hygiene and assist in the distribution to the poor
Meals on Wheels
Each day, volunteer drivers deliver over 240 meals to the needy from North Naples to Marco Island. This requires approximately 12 drivers and we are constantly in need of help. This service provides an opportunity to interact with those we serve. Sometimes this delivery provides the only personal contact to the recipient.
Thrift Store Operations
The Naples Council operates two thrift stores, one on Bonita Beach Road in Bonita Springs and one on Tamiami Trail East in Naples. Hired staff manage the stores at the direction of the council, and Vincentians are needed to sort donated merchandise, clean and repair items for sale, stock the store, cashier, and complete other necessary tasks.
Our thrift stores are open to the public, Monday through Saturday 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.
Our Boutique is open Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.
If you think that God may be calling you to join our Vincentian Ministry, please call 239-775-2907 ext. 4 or fill out the short form under the Volunteer sub-header of this website.
The Society is registered with the IRS as a 501 [c] 3 Charitable Corporation. (Registration Number SC-003346)

The rate of hangings has increased in recent years with the arrival to power of the so-called "moderate" president, Hassan Rouhani. File Photo by Vatican Pool
Last week, together with 270 other colleagues in the European Parliament, I signed a statement condemning the ongoing, rampant human rights abuses in the Islamic Republic of Iran. We have called on EU and Western governments "to condition any further relations with Iran to a clear progress on human rights and a halt to executions."
Iran is today the world leader in number of executions per capita. It has also been declared by the U.S. State Department as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
The rate of hangings has increased in recent years with the arrival to power of the so-called "moderate" president, Hassan Rouhani. Nearly 1,000 people were put to death in 2015 alone, according to the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran, Ahmad Shaheed, who declared it as the highest number of executions in Iran in 27 years.
In the streets of Tehran and other Iranian cities, morality police and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have intensified their efforts to root out and punish various forms of deviance from the country's repressive religious laws, including the forced veiling of women and the criminalization of labour unions and other forms of peaceful gathering. Meanwhile, the Iranian regime's unwavering support for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has made Iran part of the problem rather than a solution to the Syrian war.
Iran's fingerprints are also deepening in Iraq, where Iranian-backed Shiite militias have recently been accused again by international rights organizations of systematic torturing and killing of the Sunni population in the battle to take over Fallujah. This will further alienate the Sunnis and drive them toward extremist groups such as the Islamic State.
And as if to illustrate the danger of being caught as a bystander in the middle of Tehran's contest for dominance of the region, Iraq is also the site of a community of exiled Iranian dissidents, who have been stranded since 2012 in the former U.S. military base of Camp Liberty. Described by the UN as a "detention center," the camp has been the target of attacks utilizing Iranian-made rockets, as well as an ongoing blockade of medical supplies and other lifesaving provisions.
When the defenseless camp residents who belong to the main Iranian opposition PMOI were forcibly relocated to Camp Liberty from Camp Ashraf under a deal overseen by the UN and United States, it was done with the promise that they would soon be relocated to stable homes, presumably in Europe and North America. Four years and dozens of deaths later, no nations other than Albania have made a significant effort to relocate those people.
At the same time, following the nuclear agreement that has provided the Islamic Republic with extensive sanctions relief, several EU countries have both sent and received political and trade delegations and have actively pursued investment in Iran without any precondition.
As it has been admitted by the U.S. president and other Western officials, and given the dominance of the IRGC over the Iranian economy, there's little doubt that most of the money, instead of being used for the well-being of Iranian people and the development of the country, is funneled directly to support terrorist groups in the region.
On July 9, together with other many other parliamentarians and political figures from around the world, I will attend a rally organized by the Iranian democratic opposition led by Maryam Rajavi. In doing so, we will strive to reassure the Iranian people that not everyone in the West has forgotten their righteous struggle for freedom and democracy.
Iran's human rights record is of global significance and it is very much the responsibility of Western nations to address that issue.
In fact, our essential values as Europeans ought to be reason enough for us to demand that Iran improve its domestic human rights as a price for any expansion in trade relations. But as foreign investment gives Iran the opportunity to reach its hand further across the region, it should be clear to us that the stakes are much higher than we might have once imagined. And if we refuse to respond to this situation, we will bear responsibility for the loss of innocent lives not only in Iran but also in Syria, Iraq and other places in the region where Iranian proxy fighters seek dominance.

Truth be told … I was really
happy to pick this game up and review it, but I have to admit that I was a tad
bit skeptical at first. I had heard what a good title it was, but caught word
that it also included a story mode where you play as one character in
particular. That's not really bad, but everything else on PS2 from GT3 to Total
Immersion Racing simply offered a good racing title with no actual story
attached. Well, it not only taught me to give it a shot before looking at it a
little weird, but it also proved to be one of the best racing games that I have
played on the PS2 so far.
Our story opens up fifteen years
ago as the last lap of a race is finishing up. McKane is once again in the lead,
and makes it across the finish line first. A jealous second place rival
sideswipes McKane after crossing the line, causing his car to veer off the
track, flip multiple times, then erupt in a fiery explosion. In the stands,
McKane's two young boys watch in horror as their dad dies in the crash. We are
then teleported to modern day, as Donnie McKane … the oldest of the two … is
finishing up a race. He recommends his younger brother, Ryan, to a couple of
managers looking for a driver to go the distance. This is where the story picks
up, and it's your job to bring Ryan McKane from an up and coming newbie to the
ultimate Pro Race Driver.
From this point, the game opens
into a shot of Ryan sitting in his office in front of his computer. From here,
you have the option of entering career mode, which allows you to play Ryan's
career through multiple circuits and races and select sponsors through e-mail,
change options in the game like language, sound, and control setup, or take a
look at the map to challenge some of the top drivers around the world. You can
also select the option of "Free Time", which opens up a whole other area of
things to do on your own.
The lounge area, or Free Time
mode will allow you to Run time trial laps, play multiplayer with up to four
friends, kick back and watch some videos and movies on the big screen TV, or run
a free race to practice tracks and get the feel for the handling and control of
each type of car that you want to use.
As you can see, there are a
bunch of things to do, and one thing that really impressed me up front is the
amount of unlocked cars, tracks, and circuits that are available up front.
Unlockable things are here of course with up to 38 circuits and 42 cars, but
Codemasters was nice enough to give you a number of cars and tracks to play
around with and make it enjoyable before even setting foot in the career mode.
In addition, the Free Race mode will also allow you to mix tracks from different
race circuits together and create your own championship, complete with
customizable weather conditions, to run with against opponents for points just
like in the career mode.
OK, lets talk about realism
here, since not everyone is into straight arcade racing. The cars themselves are
actual models from such companies as Toyota, Alfa Romeo, Ford, Lexus, and a
bunch of others from the US and international, and each one has it's own speeds
and handling which are really tight. Prior to a race, you can go in and tweak or
adjust everything on the car from brake bias and suspension to individual gear
ratios, anti roll, and down force to what you think is best. The game will
select it's personal choice for you, which worked fine for those of us who are
not engine and performance gurus, but it also allows you some additional fine
tuning options based on your own opinion and ideas on what will work best.
AI was also superior to a lot of
other games out there, and interestingly enough the computer is prone to making
any of the same mistakes that you can make out there on the track. Codemasters
had it working great, and the AI opponents will slam into each other, cause
pileups, or lose control if they go around turns too fast. It doesn't happen
often enough to make them stupid, and it doesn't happen too infrequently to get
annoying. Drivers also seem to remember things that you have done to them, like
ramming them in the back end or cutting them off at the finish line, and rather
than the computer following set paths like GT3 does, AI cars will box you out,
purposely try to run you off the road, or hit your back end in retaliation for a
mistake that you made that got them annoyed. The AI will also put up one heck of
a challenge, so don't think that you will just blast them away as you start and
it will just get more difficult from there. You can find yourself running last
in the first go if you drive sloppy, but on the flipside one mistake from an
opponent can prove to be your advantage as you zip around a crash or driver that
has spun out. Basically, don't ever think that you've won or lost until you have
crossed the finish line, and you really have to learn all of the ins and outs on
who has it out for you and who you can try to work with.
The story mode that I discussed
up front really helps this game out a lot by adding interaction with other
people, and adds to the experience overall in giving you a little more than "run
a race, get some money, run a race, buy a car" and on and on. You will get cash
and the opportunity to pick new sponsors after each season, and things that you
do will effect outcomes and CG scenes popping up as well. For example, picking
on one driver in particular by hitting them too much or constantly trying to
push them off the road will cause a CG scene after the race where they barge
into your garage and confront you about your driving ability, or lack thereof.
Now you've got a rival out there who is bound and determined not to let you win.
There are a few other examples to see and play through, but I won't spoil them
for you here. I will just say that things that happen before and after a race,
whether it be positive or some kind of media or one on one confrontation, will
suck you into the story and make you feel like you are really getting to know
Ryan and the people that he interacts with.
The Map mode that allows you to
challenge other drivers from around the world is also a fantastic addition to
this game, and as you move up in the ranks and other drivers feel threatened,
they might challenge you (if you don't get to them first) to see who's the best.
You race head to head for pink slips in this one, using such vehicles as one of
my personal favorites … the Dodge Charger. This really adds a whole new level of
depth to the game, and is something that really continues to add to the feeling
that you are becoming involved in the story, rather than just watching as it
Lastly on the realism note are
the cars themselves. The automobiles all have some really tight handling, and
make them a joy to drive. Each one has it's own unique HP output, and making
those adjustments that I discussed a couple of paragraphs ago will surely be
felt in the driving and handling. One big bonus for the game in the vehicle
department as well is the sheer feeling of speed that is missing from some other
games out there, and when you are running 150 MPH, you will feel it in the frame
rate. Add together everything that I've talked about so far and the fact that
unlike other "realistic racing" games out there the cars will sustain realistic
damage in the body as well as the inner working of the car like the brakes or
drive shaft, and this is by far a great and deep experience.
Graphically, Pro Race Driver
does a lot of things that other racing games out there are missing. As you race
along, real time reflections of trees, signs, and other things around the track
will show in your paint job during the actual game rather than just in a replay.
The replays are fully adjustable in slow motion, rewinds, and fast-forwards, and
the lighting effects are fantastic. In addition, hitting little bumps in the
road or trading paint with a rival will result in the car bouncing on the
suspensions realistically, which is something that even "king GT3" doesn't
offer. As I said earlier, the cars also take realistic damage here, which
include crumpled hoods, parts like bumpers and spoilers falling off the car, and
even driving on the rims after a tire has been knocked off. The particle effects
of paint, flying metal, and shattering windshields looks awesome, and is a
highlight of making you really want to watch a replay. The CG movies are well
animated and also just add to the game overall, and despite the fact that it has
a slight bit more pixilation in the background than GT3 did, it still looks
From a sound perspective, the
game opens up with Sweet Home Alabama playing in the background, and background
music tracks are there but not while you are driving. The voice acting of the
individual characters is great, and each dialogue that takes place between Ryan
and a host of other people worked well and adds to the overall enjoyment. The
cars also sound really good in everything from creaking metal and screeching
tires to the engines roaring, and the crowd cheering as you zip by was awesome.
Overall, I really don't have
anything negative to say about Pro Race Driver except the fact that it will
probably be overshadowed by other more popular titles. If you are a racing fan,
you would do yourself a serious injustice by not picking this game up, and it is
well worth the $50 price of admission. In my personal opinion, the complete mix
of tight handling, great AI, realistic car tweaking and damage, awesome graphics
and sound, multiple game modes, and a great story line definitely surpassed my
overall enjoyment of GT3. All of you may not feel that way, but it should
definitely clue you in on whether or not you will be disappointed by this game.
|Reviewer's Scoring Details
Gameplay: 9.4
really did us racing fans a favor by putting this game out. The handling is
fantastic, there are tons of gameplay modes, cars, and tracks to select from,
and the story mode not only adds to the realism and overall gameplay, but makes
you feel like you really are there with Ryan McKane. The AI is free thinking,
and you never really know what they may do or who you might get into it with
next. This is also the first racing game that I have played in which being first
or last during the race doesn't determine what happens on the final lap.
Graphics: 9.4
The cars
themselves have realistic reflections in lighting and track decorations both in
the replays but also while you race. The car reactions also are accurate,
including bouncing on suspension when they need to. In addition, they will also
take realistic damage and will lose parts accurately. The effect of smashing
glass and flying pieces looks awesome, and the backgrounds, dirt and rain
effects, and character animation was smooth and looked good.
Sound: 9.0
There isn't
any in game music while racing, but it won't be missed due to the fact that you
are concentrating on winning the race and paying attention to the AI and what
they are doing. The cars and screeching tires or collisions sound great, and the
voiceovers are well done.
Difficulty: Medium
The cars all
have realistic handling, so unlike arcade racers you can't take a turn at 150
MPH and expect to be OK. For some, this will present a little bit of a learning
curve, but veterans to other realistic racing titles will fit right in. The AI
also is challenging from the get go, but is also prone to making some mistakes
and never got too frustrating.
Concept: 9.5
This game is
another racing title, but does so many other things that other games in the same
style haven't done. The story mode did wonders for a "been there done that"
genre, and the execution of the game in it's entirety was superb.
Multiplayer: 9.1
Up to four
players can go head to head in either a single race or a "create your own
championship" kind of thing. It ran smooth, and I didn't see or notice any
slowdown or problems.
Overall: 9.5
I honestly
have to say that this is one of the only games that I have played where I cannot
think of anything to say that Codemasters could have done better. This
definitely pushes my thinking of what makes a good racing game and what makes a
great racing game, and I will be shocked if more companies don't pick up some
things from it. If you are a racing fan, pick it up … end of story. It's
definitely worth the $50 price, and you won't be disappointed.

Sean Spicer, Reince Priebus Rejoin Trump Administration 2 Years After Leaving White HouseBy Isabel van BrugenFebruary 12, 2020 Updated: February 12, 2020Two notable figures from President Donald Trump's first year in office will be rejoining the Trump administration, over two years after leaving the White House.The president's former press secretary, Sean Spicer, and his first White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, will be rejoining the administration as members on Trump's commission on White House fellowships, the White House announced in a news release.According to the Obama White House's website, the commission "interviews National Finalists and then recommends those individuals it finds most qualified to the president for appointment as White House Fellows."morehttps://www.theepochtimes.com/sean-spicer-reince-priebus-rejoin-trump-administration-2-years-after-leaving-white-house_3235531.html
Spicer is a nice guy but was overmatched as Press Secretary.I like Priebus.
Gee ... two have beens that weren't an asset to his administration to begin with. What could possibly go wrong?
They are both loyal and honest. Trump needs that right now. And this is actually a very minor position/task he has given to them.
I always felt sorry for Spicer... Can you imagine getting your head bashed in all day long by the media over all of that fictitious junk without loosing it and punching someone... lol
