- Welsummer Chicken
The Welsummer chicken is a Dutch breed named after the village of Welsum in Holland. Developed in the 1900's it was first imported into this country in 1928 for its large brown egg. The Welsummer eggs will vary in tints of dark brown eggs and most of the eggs will have a real dark speckled pigment in the egg shell. The Welsummer is a large, upright, active bird with a broad back, full breast, large full tail and a single comb. Welsummers have a docile and friendly personality. The famed Kellogg's Rooster was a Welsummer chicken. The Welsummer roosters are glorious with their beautiful shades of red and black. They are a fast growing bird and a very rare breed here in the United States. Admitted to the American Standard of Perfection in 1991.

I love these birds! Review by Mike Guay
My chicks arrived very healthy, and I didn't lose a single one until the local predators realized I had free range chickens. I will be ordering more soon to add to my remaining 8 birds. Everyone comments on how colorful the roosters are and the hens too. Good egg production, my friends all clamor to buy them from me. Everyone loves the variability of the eggs. (Posted on 2/2/2020)
Beautiful Hens, Quality Eggs Review by Jo
We ordered 3 Welsummer female chicks this Spring. One was very weak and died soon after unpacking them (though an extra Easter Egger was included in the order), but the remaining two were strong chicks and grew up into very pretty birds. They began laying at 8 months, medium shaded eggs with lots of small, rich, chocolate colored speckles. Very pleased with the eggs, and they sure add variety to the bunch! (Posted on 1/23/2020)
Thanks Review by Rita T
I have dealt with other hatcheries in the past. These welsummer chicks arrived in the best shape ever and have grown into the most beautiful hens I ever had. Thanks! (Posted on 12/2/2019)
Thanks Review by Cj T
We've purchased our chicks from Cackle for many years. They are wonderful, and our latest batch was no exception. Not a single loss (except one in shipping). Love the Welsummers!

Thanks Review by Robert C
We ordered 50 birds back in july. 15 easter eggers, 10 Jersey giants, 10 Buffs, 5 Leg horns, 5 welsumers, and 5 marans. All of the birds arrived alive which is amazing since we are located in hawaii! I would like to point out that they give you a full list of what you ordered/ got extra which was a really nice touch. We lost one bird at a few days old but Cackle sent us 60 birds instead of 50 so it wasn't an issue. I would like to mention we ordered 10 roos that were all marked on their heads with paint which was amazing. Fast forward a few months. all of the birds made it besides that one we lost in the first few days. We have a few extra roos that we didnt order but I think they gave them to us because we ordered 5 buff roos and 5 jersey roos but zero egger roos. Also, all of the birds are very healthy and all seem to be growing to breed standards. I couldn't be happier with my order. I have ordered from other hatcheries in the past and I have had many issues (wrong chickens, dead/ sick birds, bad packaging, the list goes on) none of those issues happened when I ordered from cackle. With all of that being said they are still a hatchery and the birds aren't going to be the cream of the crop to say but they are damn close! If you want a decent flock with beautiful birds and you don't want to pay an absurd price to a private breeder cackle is your one stop shop! (Posted on 10/30/2019)
Welsummers are winners Review by 4-H Mom
Beautiful friendly birds that are good layers of beautiful eggs. My daughter shows chickens for 4-H. She has done very well with our Welsummers from Cackle. Her pen of three hens egg production have won grand and reserve champions two years in a row and the hens placed wel, individually in the open class show and won overall reserve champion. I am very pleased with the Welsummer chicks from cackle and will be ordering more (Posted on 9/9/2019)
Hard to pick favorites when their all Great Chickens!, Review by Jeff from Houston
My Wife and I have order Welsummers from Cackle for several years. My wife loves the big speckled eggs, and I like the well behaved rosters, we currently have 2 guarding our mixed flock of 120-130 hens. (Posted on 8/4/2019)
Beautiful rooster Review by JR
I have Welsummers from another hatchery my neighbor ordered 25 Welsummers from Cackle Hatchery one turned out to be a beautiful cockerel they gave him to me couldn't have worked out better I now have 8 hens and and unrelated beautiful rooster. (Posted on 7/31/2019)
Healthiest Chicks ever! Review by Griselda
I have ordered chicks from other hatcheries before. Most of the time they have arrived in good shape but I have to say that these chicks were practically glowing when I received them. No pasting up, no problems at all.. just bouncy little fluffy girls ready to grow and are they ever! Thanks! (Posted on 7/19/2019)
Chicks Review by Tavia
I just got one of my Welsummer chicks today, and I'm so excited! So far, she seams very happy and healthy around all her new little buddies. I'll be sure to update ya'll on how she's doing later on. (Posted on 3/14/2019)
Great layers, beautiful chicken Review by Tracy
I bought 3 chicks and these were the first to start laying out of the 9 chicks total. Talkative, very curious, slightly skittish, not a lap chicken. Lay beautiful large size eggs, all are speckled with different patterns. Everyone always comments and ask which ones are laying that egg. Laying every day now. Great free roamers, mine are fast movers. (Posted on 3/2/2019)
Lovely chickens Review by Marit, TX
I have had my Welsumers (this is how it is spelled in Dutch) for about two and a half year now. They are a lovely breed of chickens, smart, easy-going, and affectionate in their own way (they will follow me around and talk to me). They are also withstanding the Texas summers better than I'd expected. Their prolific layers and their eggs are very diverse, one lays a really dark brown one, almost red, while another one lays a lighter brown egg with really big dark spots. I have three of them, this year one got broody but the other two kept laying through the summer. I would definitely recommend this breed for their eggs as well as their temper. (Posted on 8/18/2018)
Thanks! Review by angel
I would like to take the time and thank Cackle Hatchery. My chicks arrived and all alive and healthy. I can say that I will not order from anyone but you. I've ordered from other hatcheries and not the same satisfaction that I have with Cackle. Thank you so very much. Will always have my business. Your the #1 best of all. (Posted on 8/8/2018)
Still going strong! Review by Brenda
I ordered 10 welsummers thru our local feed store that purchased them from Cackle Hatchery. Three years later, they are all still healthy, happy and laying dark brown eggs like champions! (Posted on 1/28/2018)
Cackle Welsummer Review by Wlbryce
Best chickens we have ever raised, our girls are now 9 years old and still laying everyday.
Just found our receipt from 2008 when we purchased them from Cackle Hatchery.
Extremely hardy breed survives -30F winters here in Montana and are smart enough not to get killed when free ranging. (Posted on 6/2/2017)
Excellent Customer Service Review by Kal

Welsumer chicks Review by James
Recently I order two differ breads of chicks from Cackle. The bread I wanted most was the Welsummer. Total number of chicks order = 15 number received = 17! All are healthy and beautiful. The service was very quick and when I had questions, the folks at Cackle Hatchery were spot on! Next project....Ducks for the pond! (Posted on 5/10/2017)
Very pleased! Review by Sonia
We ordered 6 Welsummers and received 7 on time and in excellent, healthy condition. We gave them water with electrolytes right away. Of the 5 breeds we had as chicks, the Welsummers were the most aggressive, pecking at other chicks' eyes, but after trying lots of suggestions online, they were fine again within a week. They are now about 5 months old and we still have all 7. They just began laying beautiful dark brown eggs, and we couldn't be happier with them! (Posted on 11/6/2016)
Very Pleased.... Review by Lynn S.
I ordered 20 pullets this past spring of 2016, all arrived healthy around April 20th. Hardy birds, I haven't lost a single one, although during an attempted predator attack, one 2 month old suffered a broken leg. We didn't give up on her, nor did she, and within a month she was rehab'd back to complete health ( can't even tell her leg was ever broken!). We did end up with 1 Rooster, and although at 5 months, he is already a handful, I am glad we have him ! This is a wonderful breed, and I am extremely pleased with the quality from this hatchery!

So far so good . So cute! Review by Susan
Just received my 15 chicks. All are alive and eating and drinking Iike crazy. A few look like they may not make it ,kinda lifeless . Hoping they snap out of it. It's only been a couple of hours. May just be exausted. (Posted on 7/16/2016)
Smart breed! Review by Amelia Eggheart
I love my Cackle Welsummer and will be getting more! Not a lap chicken, but very smart, very social, very aware and lays beautiful speckled eggs. The base color is a light tan, but the speckles are dark brown and the density of 'specklage' determines the overall color of the egg, which means it varies day to day. My first layer at 26 weeks, consistent lay rate of 6 epw, large size eggs. Trainable, knows her name, does tricks for treats, can learn how to get into trouble, very fun. She's the "lateral lookout" of the flock and lets everyone know what's going on. Great feed to egg ratio. Like I said, I'm impressed and getting more! (Posted on 3/25/2016)

Cackle Hatchery Review by Elmer Michigan January 2011
Received our chicks on the morning of the 10th. All fifteen were in great shape and are doing well. One of the silver laced Wyandottes pullets will attack my wife's finger every time she puts it near the feeder and wiggles it back and forth. We put a mark on her so we know it is always the same one. We hope to get our order in earlier next year for some Marans. Appreciate the good service. Thank you! (Posted on 11/10/2015)
Cackle Hatchery Review by Dawn Wisconsin May 2015
I am anxiously awaiting my chicks. I am so excited. It is my first time to have backyard chickens. I researched many hatcheries and found yours online. I was impressed and very much enjoyed your tutorial of the family business and history of the company. I also liked the videos of the different chicks and information given about the different varieties. I found that very helpful when choosing which varieties I wanted and would be best for us.

Cackle Hatchery Review by Scott Missouri April 2014
I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that my birds arrived safe and sound in addition to being a day earlier than projected. There was 100% survival including the two extras, so that was a bonus. I am pleased with the service Cackle provides. You were quick to response to my emails (usually the same day) and the customer service reps are polite and helpful, even going as far as to assist in choosing an alternate breed for one that was not available so that I could retain my original shipping date. I will be using Cackle for my future orders. Many thanks, (Posted on 11/6/2015)

Thank You Mrs Smith. The chicks arrived safe and sound this morning. The Post Master called me at 6:45 am this morning and told me the chicks had arrived.

Sorry I bothered you all, I just was concerned about their shipping in hot weather and trusting they had not been misdirected to some other Post Office. Again, I appreciate your prompt and kind service. They are all well and fine this morning and I thank you and your personnel for the help. You have a very efficient group of personnel working for your Hatchery and I always appreciated their kind assistance. Also I trust you all have a pleasant week. (Posted on 11/4/2015)

- European wind farm portfolio being expanded
- Wind farms with a nominal output of 94 MW under construction in Germany and France
- Positive earnings contributions due to bonus payments from the 2016 portfolio sale expected in the third quarter
Cuxhaven, August 10, 2017 - The specialist for wind energy PNE WIND is on schedule: the first six months in 2017 were characterised by operational success both in Germany and abroad. Significant progress was achieved in onshore and offshore wind farm projects. In addition to the German market, business in foreign countries continues to develop in a positive manner.
Development of onshore wind farms is on schedule
The project pipeline of the wind farm developer is well filled. At present, the PNE WIND Group is building wind farms with approx. 94 MW nominal output in Germany and France. Of these, German wind farms with approx. 43 MW are planned to be included in the new European wind farm portfolio. The Company intends to bundle portfolio capacities to the total amount of more than 200 MW.
With the scheduled completion of the "Windpark Altenbruch" repowering project, the last two wind power turbines for the 142 MW project portfolio, which was sold last year, were commissioned.
In addition, WKN AG had a major success in the USA shortly after the balance sheet date. In July, the PNE WIND subsidiary announced the sale of the project rights in the 80 megawatt wind farm "Vivaldi Springtime" to Pattern Development.
Offshore successes
The offshore division also developed positively. As early as in January this year, the Company sold the North Sea-based "Atlantis I" project to Vattenfall. PNE WIND continues to be in charge of the project as a service provider and will benefit from additional milestone payments in the future. This also applies to the "Gode Wind 3" offshore project, which was sold to DONG Energy in 2012 and which was one of four offshore wind farms to be awarded a contract within the framework of the first government offshore call for tenders in the first quarter of 2017.
"PNE WIND is progressing according to plan. In the first six months of 2017, we achieved significant progress and sales results for onshore and offshore wind farm projects. Foreign countries are playing an increasingly important role," comments Markus Lesser, Chief Executive Officer of the PNE WIND Group. "We plan to further strengthen our competitiveness and that of our projects in the upcoming months. Another objective is to develop new, promising markets in growth regions."
Results of the first half year of 2017 and outlook
The high level of expenditure related to the establishment of the European wind farm portfolio has had a negative effect on the half year's results. However, when evaluating these results, it must be taken into account that these investments create values that will only later have a positive impact on earnings.
In the first six months of 2017, the Group generated sales of euro 39.5 million (prior year: euro 44.8 million), total aggregate output of euro 50.0 million (prior year: euro 61.1 million), operating profit (EBIT) of euro -5.0 million (prior year: euro -1.4 million) and undiluted earnings per share of euro -0.08 (prior year: euro -0.10). With a strong equity ratio of 52.59 percent (previous year: 31.71 percent) and high liquidity amounting to euro 122.1 million as at June 30, 2017, the PNE WIND Group is in a good position on the market
Forecast confirmed
Perspectives for the second half of 2017 are positive and are in line with the Company's plans. In addition to earnings contributions from project planning and realisation of the wind farms in Germany and in foreign countries, for the third quarter of 2017, PNE WIND is expecting an earnings contribution resulting from a bonus payment for services in relation to the wind farm portfolio which was sold at the end of 2016. This bonus payment is expected to be a low two-digit million euro amount.
For the 2017 full year, the Board of Management confirms its forecast and, as before, expects a consolidated Group EBIT in the range of euro 0 to euro 15 million. In spite of required investments in the future, the Company expects to achieve positive results in the 2017 financial year.
The 2017 half year financial report of PNE WIND AG is available on the company's website www.pnewind.com in the section "Investor Relations" as of today.
About the PNE WIND Group
The PNE Wind Group, with its brands PNE WIND and WKN, is one of the leading German wind farm developers. With its approx. 360 employees, the PNE WIND Group has been offering services covering the entire added value chain ranging from the development, planning, realisation, financing, operation, marketing and repowering of wind farms in Germany and abroad from a single source for more than 25 years. Once the completed plants have been handed over to operators, the PNE WIND Group also offers technical and commercial management services, including regular maintenance, for the wind farms. The offshore wind farms at sea are developed up to the point where they are ready to be constructed and services are provided up to the operation of the wind farms. Alongside its business activities in the established domestic market in Germany, the PNE WIND Group is present at the international level in order to benefit from the tremendous growth potential of the global wind energy market and it is expanding into dynamic growth markets.

A North Belfast pensioner has described how he bravely confronted a man attempting to rob him in his flat last week posing as a member of staff from the Water Service.Bawnmore 69-year-old Anthony Doonan was in his flat on Thursday morning when a man came to his door claiming to be from the Water Board and wearing a high visibility vest.
The long-term resident of the area said he let the man into his home only to quickly become suspicious.
"He came into my kitchen and turned the water on, he said to me to get down and switch the stopcock off," he said.
"I said to him the water board wouldn't be asking me to turn the water off, so I got him by the arm and threw him out of the house then I saw him drive away."
It's understood the male was travelling in a small blue hatchback, possibly a Peugeot, with two other males.
Mr Doonan, an avid reader of newspapers, said he read about similar incidents with other pensioners but never thought it would happen to him.
'You read about these old people getting robbed in their own houses and I never thought I would let someone in, but when it happens to you, you don't think.
"I just threw him out of here anyway, I wasn't having that. The cops and forensics were all here but I don't hold out much hope they'll find them. If they haven't caught the people who did all the murders of people from Bawnmore it's unlikely they'll find these ones."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 0845 600 8000.

Healthcare technology company HealthReveal, which equips payers and providers with data analytics and remote monitoring to ensure patients receive guideline-directed medical care, has added another $500,000 to its Series A funding with an investment from Northwell Ventures. Along with the $10.8 million HealthReveal raised a few months ago (led by GE Ventures, Greycroft Partners and Flare Capital Partners), the new funding brings the company's total funding to date at $11.3 million.
With a majority of healthcare costs associated with complications from chronic conditions – such as amputations from diabetes or end-stage renal disease –
HealthReveal's mission is to mitigate such risks for self-insured employers, providers and payers by helping them to identify patients whose care isn't lining up with the best practice at the exact right time. The company applies powerful machine learning algorithms built from claims data, EHR data and, for the highest-risk patients, remote monitoring. Additionally, HealthReveal's algorithms line up with best practice guidelines derived from specialist society recommendations and medical literature that features well-regarded, robust clinical trials.
HealthReveal was founded two years ago by Dr. Lonny Reisman, who serves as CEO of the company. Reisman previously founded ActiveHealth Management, which he later sold to Aetna (where he was CMO for nearly a decade) for $400 million.
"The difference between what we're doing and what the health plan is generally doing is that we're actively engaging the treating physician," Reisman told MobiHealthNews in an interview in February. "We're not assuming that what was prescribed diagnostically or therapeutically is necessarily correct. And we're sort of -- with all due humility -- simply pointing out aspects of the literature that are discordant with the treatment that's being provided and asking doctors to consider that. We're ... building an analytic bridge that creates an analysis of the patient's unique physiologic characteristics against the literature that's germane to that patient's physiology, and highlights variances which are then communicated to the treating doctor."
Up until the $11.3 million Series A, HealthReveal was primarily self-funded by Reisman. Now, the company will use investments to build up their team of technical and clinical experts to build additional features into HealthReveal's platform, as well as expand sales, marketing and operational efforts.
"With Northwell as a strategic partner, we have an opportunity to ensure that incontrovertible medical knowledge is consistently and broadly applied by clinicians in providing evidence-based care," Reisman said in a statement. "By looking at each patient personally and comprehensively we can make a meaningful improvement in clinical outcomes, medical costs and value."
Northwell Ventures is the corporate venture arm of Northwell Health, New York State's largest health care provider and private employer. The fund looks for companies and technologies that move forward Northwell Health's strategic focus that aims to use the health system as a sort of healthcare innovation laboratory.
"We are delighted to invest in HealthReveal's technology, which we expect will enhance their customers' ability to combat chronic disease," Northwell Ventures' Senior Vice President and Executive Director Thomas Thornton said in a statement. "The company brings a unique focus in deploying evidence-based medicine to assist patients and their doctors to make better and earlier decisions to optimize health."

Since he began selling Real Estate in 1995, Nick Profeta has made a name for himself as one of Calgary's most respected REALTORS®. The recent recipient of the T.W.H. (Bill) Saunders Memorial Award – commonly known as the REALTOR® of the Year award – Profeta has served on 12 different committees/task forces since 1995, and his long-running "Nico Night" raised funds for CREB®'s Charitable Foundation and the Feed The Hungry program. Profeta took a few minutes out his busy schedule to chat with CREB® Now about the city he calls home.
CREB®>> What's the importance of giving back to your community, and why is it such a priority for you?
Profeta>> The biggest thing is being with people is what makes me happy. I started off in the family business of construction, but as soon as I could I got out into the restaurant and hospitality industry. I just loved interacting and being with people, and I found the combination of work and play is great. Being able to give, live and love and share the joy really happens when you're volunteering and doing community work. Being Italian, it's almost an extension of the family. We grew up that way and it's always been a big part of my life.
CREB®>> What advice would you give someone thinking of buying a home right now?
Profeta>> As a buyer, I would say the most important thing is to hire an agent you trust. Your personalities have to click and you have to make sure you're on the same page. When you're looking for a home, when you find the right one you'll know because it feels right. And when you find it, buy it. Don't wait. I've never regretted buying real estate, so don't be afraid to just take the plunge and do it.
CREB®>> If you could change one thing about the city, what would it be?
Profeta>> Traffic and bad drivers. I'd get rid of the traffic.
CREB®>> What's your favourite room in your house and why?
Profeta>> Well it should be the big Italian-style eat-in kitchen, because we love food and wine and family and all that stuff, but it turns out that my favourite room is my family room. I can still be with my family there, but I can [also] sit back and turn on my stereo and listen to music.
CREB®>> What do you think is Calgary's biggest strength?
Profeta>> The people. I love the city. I was born here in 1966 and I've watched it grow. Even with the influx of different people, there's still something about it. You can say you're from Toronto and you've been here for six months or you're from Edmonton and you've been here 10 years, once you get to Calgary there's something that makes the people just shine.
CREB>>® What's been the biggest change in your career as a REALTOR ®?
Profeta>> If you exclude technology and the Internet, which is probably the biggest thing and is still continuing to grow, I think the most important thing that I've begun to realize is that it's more about the people and the relationships now than it's ever been. Some agents don't get it and think it's still about the deal or winning or how they rank. You'll see the ads and the signs and the billboards, and good for them if that's what they believe, but to me it's about the people, building trust, creating long lasting relationships and selling the dream. Other than getting married, most people have a dream of owning a home – for some owning a home is more important than getting married – and that's the biggest thing. I think some people just don't get that.
CREB®>> What's the number one thing you'd tell someone thinking of selling his or her home?
Profeta>> I couldn't pick just one thing, so I've picked three: price it right; keep your home neat and tidy; and hire an agent that uses all types of marketing – old and new – and make sure they can think outside the box. You'll hear different people say 'That doesn't work anymore' or 'This doesn't work anymore'. Well guess what – some of the old stuff works and some of the new stuff works, and they should be able to package it all together.
CREB®>> What's your favourite way to spend a day off in the city? profeta That's the problem – I hardly get time off in the city. When I'm here I'm usually working, so in order for me to get some time off I usually have to call forward or put the auto reply on the email and fly away or drive away. My wife and I and the family do really enjoy the inner city and going for walks and for dinner. We like the downtown, Inglewood, the Beltline, Kensington, Eau Claire and Mission and trying to find a nice restaurant by walking around and looking for a good meal.
CREB®>> What are Calgary's best-kept secrets?
Profeta>> As far as parks go, my favourite park is still Confederation Park. For neighbourhoods I still love Mount Pleasant. These aren't secrets – I think the word is out that these are great places. As for attractions, I'm still a little bit old school. I still like the Calgary Tower, Heritage Park, walking along the Bow River and heading down to Prince's Island.
CREB®>> Where do you see the real estate industry headed in the next five to 10 years?
Profeta>> I think the real estate market in Calgary is going to remain strong. I believe the average house price is going to continue to increase. The only concern is how is the city will manage growth. I see nothing but positives for the real estate industry in Calgary in the next five to 10 years.

Cole, Thomas (1627?-1697) (DNB00)
COLE, THOMAS (1627?–1697), independent minister, a native of London, was born about 1627. William Cole, his father, was a man of some property, and sent him to Westminster School, whence, in 1646, he was elected student of Christ Church, Oxford. He proceeded B.A. in 1649, and M.A. 8 July 1651, and in 1656 became principal of St. Mary Hall. As a tutor he had 'some eminent divines' for pupils, among whom was John Locke. The restoration of Charles II was followed by the ejection of Cole from his position at Oxford. He then opened an academy at Nettlebed, Oxfordshire, and one of those under his charge was Samuel Wesley, the father of the founder of methodism. Samuel Wesley was the son of an ejected minister, but having entered the church, he attacked his former tutor, whose character was cleared by Samuel Palmer in his 'Vindication of the Dissenters.' In February 1674 Cole succeeded Philip Nye as minister of the now extinct independent congregation of Silver Street, London. He was also one of the ministers of the merchants' lecture at Pinners' Hall. His church, after leaving Silver Street, met at Tallow Chandlers' Hall, Dowgate Hill, and afterwards at Pinners' Hall, where he preached his last sermon 22 Aug. 1697. Cole is described by Palmer as 'a man of a most innocent and spotless life in his usual conversation.' Beyond three sermons in the 'Morning Exercises,' 1674, and one in the 'Casuistical Morning Exercise,' 1690, his writings are: 1. 'The old Apostolical Way of Preaching: a funeral sermon for Rev. Edward West,' London, 1676. 2. 'Discourses on Regeneration, Faith, and Repentance,' London, 1689. 3. 'The Incomprehensibleness of imputed Righteousness for Justification by Human Reason, till enlightened by the Spirit of God,' London, 1692. 4. 'Discourses on the Christian Religion,' London, 1700. A manuscript copy of some of his sermons, including his last, with an account of his deathbed conversation, is described by Wilson, who gives from it an account of his decease, 16 Sept. 1697, in the seventieth year of his age. A copy of verses by him is prefixed to Cartwright's poems in 1653, and there is another in the Oxford collection on the peace in 1654. He is buried in the upper ground of Bunhill Fields, but the precise spot is not known.[Wilson's History of Dissenting Churches in London, iii. 79–80; Jones's Bunhill Memorials, p. 29; Welch's Alumni West. pp. 125, 126; Wood's Fasti, ii. 120, 166; History and Antiq. iii. 672.]

Teachers will get new desktop computers
SEYMOUR -- Teachers will have new desktop computers come this fall as the district moves forward with the $104,000 purchase that normally would have been held off until the end of the school year.
It's important to get the computers as soon as possible because the laptops that teachers have been using are so antiquated they can't take advantage of online components to textbooks, Supt. of Schools MaryAnne Mascolo recently told the Board of Education.
"It's a huge issue, particularly at the elementary schools," she said. "Now they are so slow they won't run the software that goes with the textbooks.
"The teachers are very keen on getting the computers," she said.
"Could it be held off to the end of the year so we can see where the budget is then?" board member Fred Stanek asked.
"Our strategy has always been to hold off until spring," Asst. Supt. Rick Belden said. "Usually we wait until spring to see where we are budget-wise, and we go back and assess where are priorities are." It's the only technology purchase planned for this school year, he said.
The laptops the teachers have been using are almost 10 years old, and the processors in the machines can't handle the graphics of the online materials that are provided with textbook purchases.
The $104,000 will go toward the purchase and configuration of 170 desktop computers that will replace the laptops in the elementary school and at Seymour Middle School, Belden said.
Before the computers are delivered to the school, they will be configured off-site with the necessary software, he said.
The board also accepted a check from Mascolo for almost $4,500 that will go toward the purchase of technology for teachers and students. Mascolo pledged earlier this year to return her contracted raise to the district because of the tough economic times the district is facing.
"It was my pleasure," she told the board.

Minus Greek columns, Obama eyes future with convention speech
* Speech to be held in nearly 74,000-seat stadium
* Democrats aim to focus on the future, not "gauzy" look at the past
* To highlight elements of his regular campaign addresses
By Jeff Mason
Sept 2 (Reuters) - The Greek columns may be banished and the "hope" and "change" signs gone, but President Barack Obama's pitch to American voters at the Democratic National Convention this week will have echoes of his 2008 speech, when he cast himself as a visionary leader in touch with the nation's priorities.
Dogged by a sluggish economy and in a tight race with Republican rival Mitt Romney, Obama will use his time in the spotlight on Thursday to focus on education, tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, energy, immigration and social issues, his advisers indicated.
By talking in more specific terms than Romney did last week, Obama's team hopes to draw a contrast between the two men.
The president's team believes that Romney missed a big chance during the Republican convention to lay out a blueprint for fixing the U.S. economy.
Romney called for fewer government regulations and lower taxes but offered few details in a speech that emphasized his biography and amounted to a rebuttal of months of attacks from Obama's team. The Obama campaign has cast the former private equity executive as an aloof tycoon who is out of touch with middle-class America.
Unlike the former Massachusetts governor, Obama needs no re-introduction to the American public, his campaign advisers say.
So as Romney's campaign casts Obama as a failure in improving the economy, the president - trying to become the first since World War II to be re-elected with an unemployment rate above 8 percent - will argue that he has better ideas to help the country recover from the recession that began under Republican George W. Bush.
"This Thursday night, I will offer you what I believe is a better path forward - a path that grows this economy, creates more good jobs, strengthens the middle class," Obama said in a preview of his remarks at a campaign stop in Iowa. "The good news is, you get to choose which path we take. We can take their path or we can take the path that I'm going to present."
Obama's team aims to fill the nearly 74,000-seat Bank of America stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the president will deliver his speech, and produce a populist feel that contrasts with Romney's convention.
With tens of thousands in the stadium and millions watching on television, the prime time speech will be Obama's most prominent opportunity to date to make his case for re-election.
Advisers and outside analysts said the president will use the opportunity to highlight elements from his campaign speeches: his support of a bailout that saved the U.S. auto industry, ending the war in Iraq, presiding over the death of Osama bin Laden, and championing women's rights.
"Most Americans aren't hearing his stump speech except in little bits and pieces," said Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for Bill Clinton who worked on convention speeches in 2000, 2004, and 2008.
"He absolutely shouldn't come up with a brand new message, a brand new take on who he is, where he comes from, what he's been doing and what he plans to do in the next term," Shesol said.
Obama vaulted onto the national stage as an Illinois state senator in 2004, when he gave a well-received address for the Democratic presidential nominee that year, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry.
Four years later in Denver, Obama delivered his own acceptance speech, drawing criticism from Republicans for the setting - a stage adorned with faux Greek columns. Still, Obama basked in the energy of a huge stadium crowd, a symbol of the momentum that helped propel him to victory that year.
A lot of that momentum is gone now.
Unemployment is at 8.3 percent, raising questions about whether Obama can match the huge support he received among minorities and young people four years ago.
Meanwhile, new Republican-backed voter ID laws in several states could undermine turnout for minority and low-income voters in particular, as they are among the groups most likely to have difficulty obtaining the required identification.
In Charlotte, Obama will have some significant help in making his case.
His popular wife, Michelle, former president Bill Clinton and others will offer testimonials with forward-looking themes.
Clark Judge, a former speechwriter for Republican President Ronald Reagan, said Obama was unlikely to dwell on the themes of "hope" and "change" because that would require him to defend promises he did not keep from 2008.
"The problem with doing too much of that is he's then got to explain failure, and I'm not sure that they want to get into that," Judge said. He added that he expects Obama to keep on attacking Romney's plan to revamp Social Security and Medicare, popular safety net programs for the elderly.
Obama's advisers watched the Republican convention closely but said they will not change their plans for Charlotte in response.
"In terms of rebutting Republicans or altering what we're going to achieve (this) week, really, there's no impact" on the Democrats' convention strategy, said Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter. "I think the American people are smarter than that."
David Axelrod, Obama's chief campaign strategist, said Romney's speech was filled with "snarky lines" and "gauzy reminiscences of the past." He said Obama's address would be markedly different.
"This speech is going to reflect the thinking of a leader who has great confidence in this country and a ... clear sense of what we need to do to continue to repair the damage that was done by the recession and to reclaim the economic security that many Americans have lost," Axelrod said.

A study carried out by the Housing Improvement Club (Club de l'amélioration de l'habitat – CAH) has revealed the importance of the housing renovations business in France and provides some facts about the sector.
The housing renovations market in France represents 75 billion euros per year – one of the main facts to emerge from the CAH observatory (1), revealed exclusively by Batiactu. This study, entitled «The quantification of the housing renovation market» aims to «provide information and to think strategically about how the home renovations market is structured and to understand the trends».
One of the characteristics of the observatory, whose first study concerns 2015, is that it relies on official sources communicated by the General Commissariat for Sustainable Development (CGDD). "We aim to provide figures which are agreed on by the actors of the sector and which are consistent with national accounts » an expert from the National Housing Agency (ANAH) – a member of CAH explained to Batiactu.
A market which mainly concerns the general public
Over and above this figure of 75 billion euros, the observatory provides valuable insight into the typology of renovation projects. For example, 81% of the project demand in this activity sector comes from private homeowners or tenants, representing 61 billion euros, while social landlords account for 16% of the total (12 billion euros). "The specificity of this market is that it concerns the general public", explains the Anah expert. "A number of actors and industries in this sector often forget this point. We are dealing with consumers who don't know what the term 'maître d'ouvrage' means and professionals need to make a huge effort to educate these consumers, as we do ourselves at the agency." With a view to mass-market energy saving renovation work, we have to adapt our language to the general public, who hold a large share of the financing.
Taking into account the typology of buildings, the market is divided equally between individual houses and apartment blocks (37 billion et 38 billion, respectively).
DIY home improvements market is worth 12 billion euros
The study reveals two other points. Firstly, that DIY accounts for 19% of household spending, or 12 billion euros, and secondly, the after works / after sales service market, which involves the fine control of installations, accounts for 20% of the renovations budget, or 15 billion euros. "This is becoming a significant activity, particularly due to objectives relating to energy efficiency", explains an expert from the French Building Federation (FFB).
"More detailed information about improvements /maintenance, such as distinguishing between different types of clients or buildings, was lacking from housing reports produced by public authorities," added the FFB expert. "Now these data are available, they will form the basis for the next three to four years to come."
(1) The Housing Improvements Club brings together a number of bodies in the sector, such as Ademe, Capeb, Anah, CSTB, Qualitel, l'Untec…

Renault to restructure JV with Mahindra1 min read . Updated: 09 Feb 2010, 10:16 PM IST
Renault to restructure JV with Mahindra
Mumbai: Renault India Pvt. Ltd, the Indian arm of French car maker Renault SA, on Tuesday said it would restructure its joint venture (JV) with Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd, through which it makes the no-frills Logan sedan.
Marc Nassif, country director, Mahindra Renault Pvt. Ltd (MRPL), said the company is in advanced stages of discussion with Mahindra to decide the course of action for "MRPL as a business, and Logan as a product".
Sales of Logan, the only product from the four-year-old JV, have been below expectations, making it a cause of concern for both partners.
"We are exploring all options. A final decision on this will be taken in 30-45 days," Renault India's chief operating officer Sudhir Rao said.
In a separate statement, Mahindra spokesperson Roma Balwani said that Logan has very satisfied customers and "enjoys a strong equity".

Producers who anticipate a successful row crop and are only waiting on precipitation to spray for weeds might do better to act now, a South Dakota State University specialist said.
That assumes that the current crop potential warrants the additional expense.
SDSU Extension Weed Specialist Leon Wrage said a wait-and-see approach only allows weeds to grow bigger while forcing the crop to endure more days of competition from weeds.
Instead producers should resign themselves to the fact that control is going to be slower and perhaps reduced under the dry conditions that persist in many areas.
"Even some level of control is critical when moisture is an even more critical factor," Wrage said. "Don't give up on those flushes of weeds coming through in corn and soybeans, particularly."
Wrage offered some additional tips for producers fighting weeds under dry conditions:
- Keep herbicide rates toward the maximum levels.
- Select a herbicide for the primary weed, and choose one that is considered highly effective.
- Give special attention to additives and use the full amount allowed on the label.
"Additives become an important consideration because that can help in the retention and uptake of the herbicide in leaf tissue that may have a thicker cuticle, may be more waxy, or a plant that simply has leaves that are somewhat drought-stressed and have reduced herbicide uptake," Wrage said. "Using the full amount of the specific additive will ensure the maximum level of uptake and control that can be expected."

* C$ touches as low as 96.39 U.S. cents
* Bank of Canada holds rates steady at 1 pct
* Bonds higher across curve on rate pause expectations (Adds details, quotes)
TORONTO, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar fell more than 2 U.S. cents to its lowest level in more than three weeks against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday after the Bank of Canada left interest rates unchanged and cut its economic growth forecast.
The Canadian currency touched C$1.0374 to the U.S.
dollar, or 96.39 U.S. cents, its lowest level since Sept. 23.
On Monday, it finished at C$1.0141, or 98.61 U.S. cents.
The Bank of Canada kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1 percent, as expected, and cut its growth forecasts for 2010 and 2011 due to a slower than expected global economic recovery, saying "The economic outlook for Canada has changed." [ID:nN19118876] For full text, please see: [ID:nN19118393]
The central bank, which had raised the rate three times since June, also said inflation would be softer than expected.
"'The economic outlook for Canada has changed.' That's different: The bank expects the economic recovery to be more gradual than it had projected," said John Curran, senior vice president at CanadianForex.
"For them to come out and say that, that's making me think there's not going to be a rate hike any time soon and (the Canadian dollar) is going to suffer for it."

Currencies usually strengthen as rates rise as higher rates attract capital flows.
At 12:24 p.m. (1624 GMT), the Canadian dollar stood at C$1.0308 to the U.S. dollar, or 97.01 U.S. cents.
The Canadian dollar had already begun its descent before the Bank of Canada move, dragged lower after China's central bank surprised the market with its first increase in interest rates in nearly three years, a move that reflects its concern about rising domestic asset prices and stubborn inflation.

China's move rattled currency investors, which cut exposure to risk by selling the euro and commodity-sensitive currencies such as the Australian dollar, while taking refuge in the U.S. dollar. [FRX/]
Investors feared China's rate rise could dampen Chinese and global growth and slow China's voracious demand for commodities. [ID:nBJI002412]
As a result, U.S. crude oil future prices fell more than $2, while gold and base metals prices also faltered. [O/R] [GOL/] [MET/L]
"I certainly think given all the events that have happened this morning, with China raising rates, it's certainly not good for the commodity currencies and probably puts the topside in Canada to be vulnerable," said Steve Butler, director of foreign exchange trading at Scotia Capital.
Canadian government debt prices were higher as rate hike expectations diminished and the outlook for economic growth dimmed, said Fergal Smith, managing market strategist at Action Economics.
"The front of the curve and the belly of the curve have outperformed because they're more sensitive to the Bank of Canada's policy trajectory," Smith said.
The two-year bondclimbed 10 Canadian cents to yield 1.368 percent, while the 10-year bond climbed 34 Canadian cents to yield 2.719 percent. (Additional reporting by Ka Yan Ng and Claire Sibonney; editing by Peter Galloway)

The U.S. Congress, Administration, federal agencies, states and local governments have played a central role in the nation's public water management
from the development of this nation to times of crisis management. Today, however, there are numerous challenges facing the nation that preclude effective
management of precious water resources.
Effectively managing water resources is becoming increasingly crucial and resolving water issues successfully will take time, funding and commitment by decision makers at all levels of government.
To succeed, we must act with a sense of urgency to improve the management of critical water resources, especially in an era where the force and variety of changes threatens the sustainability of all natural resources.
Consistency regarding authorities and policies, well-defined responsibilities, coordinated foci and priorities, and clarity in planning approaches
promote effective integration of efforts and aligned decisions about infrastructure investments. Legislation facilitates this consistency.
Learn more about legislation
Many states have comprehensive water plans in place to help state agencies develop and communicate information about the status
and future of water resources within the state.
Learn more about state water plans
Each organization/agency has its own policies and regulations regarding the implementation of its respective mission areas per legislation.
In some cases, detailed guidance is provided to support processes related to those policies.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
It's the final week of a heated race to fill the State Assembly seat for the politically charged 14th district, which extends from Richmond to North Oakland and includes Lamorinda. But ask someone on the bus who they're voting for on June 3, and the conversation probably won't last long. In the first statewide primary election since World War II that doesn't include a gubernatorial or presidential contest — a result of state lawmakers and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger last year separating the legislative and presidential primaries — the local stakes might be high, but most locals either don't know about it or don't care.
"Many in the Bay Area are well versed in national politics, but hardly anyone knows what happens in Sacramento," said Kriss Worthington, a long-time Berkeley City Councilmember, noting that the public often fails to see the impact of state elections. He's running in a tight race against East Bay Regional Parks District Director Nancy Skinner, Richmond City Councilmember Tony Thurmond and Berkeley doctor and businessman Dr. Phil Polakoff. The assembly seat they are all vying for is being vacated by liberal stalwart Loni Hancock.
In a contest a Republican wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole, the four Democratic candidates represent subtle shades of political liberalism and have had to work hard, and at times unsuccessfully, to truly distinguish themselves from one other on the campaign's central issues of reforming health care and education, spurring economic development through a green economy, and reducing crime and global warming.
The Centrist
Perhaps differentiating himself the most politically is neophyte Polakoff, who describes himself as "politically more prudent" than his opponents. While his challengers' have repeatedly advocated closing corporate tax loopholes and selectively raising taxes to revamp many of the state's dilapidated public services, Polakoff has urged more efficient management of state programs over increased budgets.
In a well-funded campaign, he's personally invested a significant chunk of money in addition to receiving a healthy amount from other Berkeley physicians and individual donors in San Francisco. Polakoff, 62, is the only candidate of the four who doesn't support some form of single-payer state health insurance. More in line with Schwarzenegger's health agenda, he calls a single-payer system too "revolutionary," arguing it will create messy bureaucracy that won't appropriately address the state's health needs.
"I will be the only physician in the legislature to deal with health-care issues," said Polakoff, who stopped practicing medicine 10 years ago to start a health management company, and was briefly a consultant in Sacramento on occupational health and safety issues. "You can't just say yes. You have to rationally work through issues and make sure they're doable."
The Hellraiser
In contrast, Kriss Worthington, 53, has proudly proclaimed himself the "most progressive" candidate with the least amount of cash. The only openly gay member of the Berkeley City Council, he's helped defeat numerous proposals by Berkeley mayors, notably Shirley Dean, and has a well established reputation as a legislative thorn in the side of the executives he's worked under.
"I would see my job description as making Arnold Schwarzenegger's life hell," said Worthington, whose pointed campaign slogan, "a Democrat with backbone," has irked some in his party. "When someone stands up to Arnold, we've been able to stop him. We need people from the Bay Area who will stand in his way."
While generally keeping with the standard progressive agenda, Worthington is also known for his occasional deviations, including advocating for more police on the streets. And during the recent Berkeley Marine recruiting debacle, he was among the small minority to oppose the Council's anti-recruitment resolution.
His campaign is bolstered by the endorsements of the Sierra Club and the United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta. Among his largest donors are the two owners of the Berkeley Daily Planet.
In the many candidate forums he's participated, in Worthington has been outspoken in his opposition to Gov. Schwarzenegger's 50,000-bed prison expansion, which legislators approved. "I'm the only candidate who opposed the largest prison expansion in history," he said, noting that Loni Hancock was among many liberal Dems who he says were "tricked" into voting for it.
The Berkeley Standard
Worthington and his chief rival, Nancy Skinner, have dueled for recognition, endorsements and contributions from within Berkeley's political establishment, in addition to many of the area's deep-rooted progressive groups (Both claimed endorsements from the Sierra Club). Less feather-ruffling, Skinner is the most in line with Berkeley's longstanding political leadership and has received the blessings of her three would-be predecessors, including Loni Hancock and current Berkeley mayor Tom Bates, who left his Assembly seat in 1996. She's also curried the favor of the state's powerful nurses union. The last in the race to launch her fundraising efforts, since January she's raised an impressive war chest and won the local e-mail/junk-mail battle.
Skinner, also 53, served on the Berkeley City Council from 1984-1992 and was part of a progressive majority that promoted tenant protection and rent control laws and sought funding for affordable housing and human services. While there, she introduced Berkeley's Styrofoam ban and 50 percent recycling goal, and founded Local Governments for Sustainability. If elected, she says she'll fight for passage of a universal health care bill and be adamant in her support for statewide environmental initiatives as well as a major reinvestment in public education, including funding for universal preschool. "Our state is in a crisis," she said. "We have a small handful of Republicans who have an irrational refusal to raise revenues. It's starving our schools and slashing essential services."
The Richmond Resident
Never mind his liberal political bent, Tony Thurmond has the least trouble distinguishing himself from the fray. At 39, the first-term Richmond councilmember is the youngest and the only non-white, non-Berkeley candidate, and he serves as an important reminder that District 14 is not just a "Berkeley seat." In fact, Richmond's oft-overlooked population is just about 3,500 people shy of Berkeley's, making it the second largest city in the district.
Like his rivals, Thurmond brings with him a litany of progressive goals, yet has tailored them more to directly address the needs of poor, urban populations in the state, making poverty, violence, and urban schools central issues in his campaign. Thurmond speaks frequently of environmental justice, expressing strong support for creating green jobs in low-income areas and holding corporations like Chevron environmentally responsible for their actions. He's a social worker by training and has long been involved in running local non-profits offering services to low-income seniors and youth.
He pledges to put more money in schools by closing loopholes in corporate property taxes and bringing back vehicle license fees. "I'm the only candidate who talks about how kids born in the flats in the East Bay today might live 15 years less than a child in the hills ... and says we need to reverse that trend by taxing corporations that would pollute our air and demand they hire local people and create clean jobs."
Despite Thurmond's relative lack of political experience and name recognition, he's racked up a number of key labor endorsements, including the state AFL-CIO and several local and statewide peace officers associations. He also ended last year with the highest level of contributions in the race, including nearly $30,000 from businesses. It's landed him criticism for taking contributions from corporations with development interests in Richmond. But Thurmond says these contributions will have no bearing on his voting decisions. He argues that even though Chevron contributed to his campaign for city council, he's consistently voted against their interests.

This blog is part of our Rails 5 series.
Before Rails 5, when we wanted to use any of the helper methods in controllers we used to do the following.
Though this works, it adds all public methods of the included helper module in the controller.
This can lead to some of the methods in the helper module conflict with the methods in controllers.
Also if our helper module has dependency on other helpers, then we need to include all of the dependencies in our controller, otherwise it won't work.
New way to call helper methods in Rails 5
In Rails 5, by using the new instance level helpers method in the controller, we can access helper methods in controllers.
This removes some of the drawbacks of including helper modules and is much cleaner solution.

Kelvin Hart caught on video allegedly cheating on his pregnant wife
On Instagram, Kevin Hart is a picture-perfect husband taking care of his pregnant wife Eniko Parrish — but IRL, it would appear as if he's someone else's daddy!
RadarOnline just busted the Ride Along star allegedly cheating on his wife with a stunning brunette outside his Miami Beach hotel!
The video, taken around 5 a.m. on July 3, captured the actor canoodling with a mystery beauty in a Lexus sedan for more than 20 minutes.
The two were seen chatting and getting "frisky" in the footage. At one point, the pint-sized star even climbed into the passenger seat with her!
A source said the pics were exactly what they looked like, explaining:
"It's obvious they were up to no good! She kept looking over her shoulder, and Kevin was pop-eyed when another guest walked by."
The two had been partying at Miami hot spot LIV during an all-star celebrity birthday bash for Hart, who turned 38 on July 6.
A rep for the father-to-be denied any indiscretion went down, but a picture is worth a thousand words. And there are SEVERAL!
Too close for comfort for us!
Friends are reportedly disgusted by Hart's behavior, as he has been on a cross country birthday bar crawl while his wife is at home with a growing baby bump. The insider added:
"With his wife at home pregnant, Kevin's behavior is way out of line. His friends are in total shock. Eniko needs to be stress-free and feeling safe and secure. It's disgusting that Kevin is doing this to her."
Yikes. While friends are shocked, this wouldn't be the first time Hart has been tempted by infidelity.
His first wife Torrei Hart has blamed the downfall of their marriage on his cheating ways, previously claiming that "[Eniko] was his mistress and one of the reasons that broke up my family."
Unfortunately, it looks like history may repeat itself. The source continued:
"Even though Kevin has a history of cheating, it's still shocking he seems more interested in chasing women than spending time with his wife.
A pregnant woman needs to know she can trust her baby daddy — not see photos of him taking girls back to his Miami Beach hotel at 5 a.m.!"

Liposuction is an effective treatment that allows you to target specific areas on your body to eliminate excess or unwanted fat. While not an effective weight-loss tool, liposuction can help you get rid of fat on your body that you wouldn't be able to get rid of otherwise. Different forms of liposuction have been around for nearly 100 years, with the most advanced forms created within the past few decades.
One modern form of liposuction, Aqualipo, has proved to be much more effective than traditional methods—gaining popularity in recent years for its numerous benefits. Aqualipo uses the gentle power of water with a unique waterjet technology to gently dislodge and suction fat cells from specific problem areas. Learn more about four of the most notable advantages of Aqualipo over some of the more traditional liposuction methods.
1. There is no need for general anesthesia with Aqualipo liposuction.
In its earlier forms, liposuction was a painful, invasive procedure that required the use of general anesthesia. Because of its gentle nature, Aqualipo can be performed using a combination of local anesthesia and IV sedation. This helps reduce some of the medical risks associated with general anesthesia. Plus, by eliminating the need for general anesthesia, you're also eliminating one of the major financial costs associated with the procedure.
2. The gentle procedure involves less trauma to surrounding tissue.
Using gentle water power, Aqualipo can dislodge and permanently remove fat tissue from problem areas—instead of cutting or scraping away at fat. This gentler method of fat harvesting typically results in less bruising or swelling when compared to other liposuction methods. For many patients, this means a much more comfortable procedure and recovery period.
3. Aqualipo offers less downtime and a much faster recovery time.
Because of the gentle water power and the elimination of general anesthesia from the procedure, Aqualipo provides a much faster recovery time and much less downtime than traditional methods. Depending on the area of the body, the entire procedure generally only takes a few hours. As an added bonus, most patients are back to their normal activities within a day or two after Aqualipo.
4. Aqualipo delivers superior, longer-lasting results than traditional liposuction.
Because Aqualipo is gentle and technologically advanced, it can produce much more precise and more even results than traditional liposuction. Aqualipo permanently removes fat cells and produces lasting results, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure.

This will help you get a better idea of how Aqualipo works, how it compares to other similar procedures, and more. We also answer common questions about who is an ideal candidate for liposuction, how to care for your body afterward, and what to expect on the day you come in.
