For dogs with sensitive stomachs. picky eaters, and dry skin issues I absolutely LOVE it. Besides it's obvious perks (better ingredients, etc) I decided to give it a try for several reasons. Blue Buffalo was great, but he didn't like the black glucosamine pellets, so I ended up loosing a third of the bag. Then my dog had gotten pancreatitis (not from the BB, but from Natural Balance for active dogs, he couldn't handle all the extra fat- I had tried to bump up his weight a little), and vet recommended Hills Prescription Diet, and someone else recommended Lamb flavored food (less fillers). Hills was too expensive and I didn't like giving wet food (which was what they recommended). Dry Lamb flavored food (Authority brand) made his breath smell horrible, and his skin and fur dry, itchy, and flaky. With pancreatitis I know you should feed something that is easy to digest, and this product does exactly that, plus my dog goes crazy for the fish taste (he is rather picky). Oh, and now I get compliments all the time how shiny his fur looks ( they actually think I must have just bathed him or taken to the groomers, neither is the case). And of course the itching from the dry skin has stopped. I highly recommend it! by Proud_owner_of_a_Border_Collie_Lab_mix_hes_a_gre on 05/15/2011 Page 1 of 1 1 Shop This Product

17 Jun Mid Back Prehab Program
When it comes to mid back and scapular pain, nothing beats a mid back prehab program with tons of thoracic spine mobility and stability work. Mid back pain can be caused by a variety of structures in the mid back itself like the thoracic spine, ribs, or trigger points in the upper back muscles. Furthermore, the pain could even originate from other regions, not in the mid back like the neck or shoulders. That's a lot of potential pain generators and triggers! Making matters even more complicated is that it's often times difficult to recreate a "trigger". In physio terms, a trigger is something that causes your familiar pain. Meaning if you ask yourself the question, "what typically causes my mid back pain?" The answer for many with mid back pain is typically something vague and difficult to pinpoint. "Uh, this weird position I put my arms in... it just aches... it's always there, etc." Don't worry, this is common! But because of this conundrum, you can never go wrong with a holistic mid back prehab program focused on improving thoracic spine mobility and strength and above all else, keeping moving!

If you have never changed out bathroom vanities and cabinets before, you have a lot to learn. Even if you are hiring a contractor to install your new top quality bathroom cabinets, it pays to take some time to learn about your options. Brand new construction or remodeling project, picking out the best vanity for the space requires a bit of thought. It is important to consider all of the facts to determine which choice will work best for your home. Some of the areas that you need to focus on include size, number of sinks, mounting options, style, and color.
What's the Best Size?
Take a look at your bathroom floorplan. If you won't be switching around the location of basic fixtures, then the current set-up is what you will need to choose. Keeping all of the plumbing and electric in the same spot can save you a lot of money on a remodel. Look at your existing bathroom vanities in Fall River, MA to get measurements for your new materials. The baseline of the vanity or the footprint should help you determine the size that you are looking for when you go shopping. If you are relocating the vanity to another part of the space, make sure to get accurate measurements from your contractor before you buy a new cabinet.
Extra tips for getting the right size vanity include:
- make sure the doors and drawers will be able to open
- consider doorway size when purchasing new bathroom vanities and cabinets
- leave room for traffic in and out of the space
- consider the height of the vanity for ease of use with medicine cabinets, fixtures, and storage
- choose hardware for cabinets and drawers to match fixtures
How Many Sinks?
Since we are talking about a master bathroom, the question is whether you want one sink or two. If you have a large vanity, you will be able to accommodate two sinks. Smaller vanities may only be able to handle one sink but will have extra counter space. If you currently have two sinks and are replacing or upgrading bathroom vanities in Fall River, MA, you will likely want to do two sinks again. The reason for this is simple, as the plumbing is already there. If you want to cut it down to a single sink, work with your contractor to find out if this is feasible.
Mounting Options
There are a couple of different options when it comes to the mounting of your new top quality bathroom cabinets and vanities. The easiest method is just to repeat what was there before, as we have done with other steps in this process. However, compared to all the types, the freestanding or standard mounting option is the easiest to do. There are many different sizes, styles, and designs available in freestanding or standard bathroom vanities and cabinets. Wall mount of "floating" vanities are great for modern design but provide no storage due to the shortened height. Corner units may seem like a great idea but can be a waste of space. As a result, freestanding units are recommended more by designers and contractors for residential projects.
Style & Color
Ultimately, the style and color that you choose for your new bathroom vanities and cabinets is entirely up to you. Try to select options that match well with the existing style of your home. For example, you don't want to go ultra conservative with a traditional design if the rest of your home is decorated with a modern, minimalistic flair. Cabinet Factory Outlet in Swansea has a wide variety of bathroom vanities for Fall River, MA remodeling and renovation projects. Choose from our Designer and Craftsman series for beautiful results. All of our top quality bathroom cabinets are made from 100 percent all wood construction using professional joining techniques, soft close doors, and glide drawers.

Brigadier's Bar & Lounge
"There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking."
- Brigadier the Hon. David Thomson Circa 1979.
"There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking."
- Brigadier the Hon. David Thomson Circa 1979.
The Brigadier's Bar
Aptly named after Brigadier Hon. David Thomson, carries on the guests hospitality traditions he started back in the 1970's.
Back in the day, guests were invited at twilight to gather at the bar to enjoy a complimentary rum punch prior to dinner. It was not only a 'civilized' way to end the day but a fun opportunity to meet fellow guest and swap stories of travel experiences.
Today, we carry on the tradition every night at twilight, when we light the lanterns around the hotel and invite all guests to join us at the Brigadier bar and lounge to enjoy a glass of tropical punch and selection of canapés. Over the years many friendships have started at the Reef House 'Brigadier punch hour' and continue to do so.
Unique Honesty Bar
Continuing another of the Brigadier's traditions is the Honesty Bar system. Similar to an Officer's Mess in the army, guests were invited to help themselves to a fully stocked bar during the day and simply write on a 'chit' the item and amount owing. They would then be charged this upon check out. Today, the Brigadier Bar operates in exactly the same way, fully stock with premium liquor, ice cold drinks, cocktail condiments and recopies to create your favorite 'Tipple'.
The Brigadier Lounge
A perfect place to relax is our Brigadier lounge with its understated colonial elegance, original Artefacts lining the walls and comfortable furnishings. There you will find an extensive book exchange library, DVDs, bikes, fishing rods, board games and sketching kits for your enjoyment.

This track is full of crafty juxtaposing parts. The depth of the opening bass swell, countered almost immediately by Isadora's almost angelically sweet vocals totally intrigued us. The style of the beat tempts you into thinking you're going to be slapped about by its toughness, when in fact it's far more gentle to you. The blend works to craft a highly infectious piece of pop.

- What the Gifford Youth Orchestra Village Is Doing to Stay Healthy in 2020
The latest Gifford Youth Orchestra student to hit the headlines in Vero Beach is Jada Alexandria Powell, the GYO's latest Shining Star. Jada, 14, has studied and performed with the GYO for seven years, since she was seven.
Press Journal cultural columnist Willi Miller recently wrote about Jada when she (along with four other GYO colleagues) attended the String Camp that Boston-based cellist Mike Block runs annually at First Methodist Church in Vero Beach.
With its super-star faculty and ultra-creative program, the camp attracts dozens of students from all over the country. It is a highlight of the year not only for the young musicians but for Vero residents, who flock to the performances that are part of the camp experience.
Jada, a freshman at Vero Beach High School, has been playing violin half her life. She began with the Gifford Youth Orchestra in second grade, played in Advanced Orchestra at Gifford Middle School in 6th through 8th grades, and made the cut for the Philharmonic Orchestra at Vero Beach High School.
Throughout all this time, she remained a student with the GYO both for consistency of training and continuity. Her teachers there have been Joan Haar, Safa El-Zein and Linda Spiwak.
That's a lot of music. But it doesn't necessarily mean that Jada wants to be a professional musician. She told Willi Miller she'd rather be a space engineer. She's already busy getting the math courses she'll need, currently taking Honors Geometry in school.
The idea of space exploration captures her imagination. She finds stars not only beautiful in the abstract but fascinating as a source of study. She can name many constellations and even delves into Greek mythology in her English AP class. She's angling for Yale, Princeton, Harvard or Florida State in a couple of years.
But Jada is still a teen and never far from her phone or smart TV. She's listening, of course, to music. She favors Kendrick Lamar and has been listening to Shawn Mendez since she was in fourth grade, when his first song, "Life of the Party," hit the charts. She also enjoys classical music, especially Mozart and Vivaldi. But her favorite performer is the crossover violinist, Damien Escobar. She would like to attend one of his concerts, meet him and ask him to sign her violin.
Being a member of the GYO has helped expand Jada's horizons in many ways. It exposed her to Mike Block's mentoring, for one thing. Block is a major name in the music business, performing regularly with Yo Yo Ma's musical collective, the Silk Road Ensemble. She has developed a personal relationship with Mike and looks up to him. She even talks about learning to play the cello, "just like Mike."
Her GYO background also gave her the confidence to walk into her tryout for the VBHS without nerves, cool as a cucumber. She aced the test. But, then, she has been performing and soloing for years before large audiences.
As part of the GYO's "total-person development program" for its students, Jada has also taken etiquette courses and budgeting training. She is looking forward to Jr. Toastmasters next.
But perhaps the thing that makes her happiest about all the hard work she has invested in learning to play the violin is that it allowed Jada to honor her great grandmother recently at her 80th birthday celebration.
She followed a jaunty version of "Happy Birthday" with a soulful "Amazing Grace," a song with special meaning to her great grandmother. The applause was enthusiastic and some guests cried. But to Jada what mattered most was the look in her great grandmother's eyes as she played.
SHINING Star of the Month
Gifford Youth Orchestra's College of Performing Arts "Shining Star of the Month"
"More Violins, Less Violence, Better Tomorrows!" That is the Gifford Youth Orchestra's motto. Tatiana Wallace has taken her violin playing into territory where it even helped create "Less Fear" for a group of Vero Beach retirees during Florida's hurricane season. Read on to see what this exceptional young lady did and why she is being honored as a Shining Star in the Gifford Youth Orchestra.
When Tatiana was a 2nd grade student at Dodger Town Elementary, she saw and heard the Gifford Youth Orchestra perform at their annual concert. She was so impressed by their remarkable performance that she decided to sign up for the orchestra right away. It is truly amazing how much she has learned and accomplished in the past five years as a valued member of the orchestra.
For the past two years, Tatiana and her violin have earned a rating of "Superior with Distinction" in her solo ensemble competition with the Indian River [?] School District. With scholarships provided by generous donors the past two years, she has been able to attend the Mike Block String Camp. She really enjoys these weeklong summer workshops where she continues to learn music theory and hone practical violin skills to create better tomorrows for herself and others.
Tatiana Wallace will turn 13 on January 13th. She is a 7th grade student at Gifford Middle School. She is the first 7th grader to become First Violinist in the Advanced Orchestra. The other First Violinists are 8th graders. Tatiana is an excellent academic student and this year she is serving as Secretary of the Student Council. Last year she was on the A/B honor roll with perfect attendance. Her dream for the future is to graduate college and become a Forensic Scientist specializing in toxicology or ballistics.
Tatiana is also involved in the Youth Guidance program where she serves as Sergeant-at-Arms in the Pathfinders Excel group, an affiliate of the Exchange Club of Vero Beach. In 2017 she won the coveted NAACP essay contest with her excellent paper on the Florida NAACP martyrs, Harry T. Moore and Harriet Moore.
Tatiana already has many remarkable accomplishments to her name. It is how she brought her violin and her compassionate heart to serve the senior citizens of Vero Beach, however, that truly distinguishes her "Superior with Distinction" achievement.
Tatiana's grandmother, Alexis Krasotkin, tells the story: "I work at the retirement community of Indian River Estates. During Hurricane Matthew, Tatiana and I spent the night there to help make sure the residents remained calm and comfortable. Tatiana decided to bring her violin. After hearing some of the residents talking about their fears, she pulled out her instrument and began playing. People came to the lobby to hear the music. Once she saw the effect it had on those residents, she decided to play her music in the lobby for a half hour before meals as residents would start gathering. She did the same thing during Hurricane Irma. Although we did not spend the night during Hurricane Irma, she came to work with me for the two days following the storm. Once again, she played the violin before meals for the residents and staff and they really loved it."
It takes skill and commitment to learn how to play the violin. It takes talent and discipline to perform with an orchestra. And it takes a truly benevolent heart to intentionally offer up one's gifts in order to lift others' spirits in times of hardship.
That is what Tatiana did. She is living proof of our GYO motto. And so it is with great pleasure and immense pride that we bestow upon Tatiana Wallace the Gifford Youth Orchestra's special honor of "Superior With Distinction" and name her Shining Star of the Month!

Science of Cannabis: Cannabidiol (CBD)
The Emerging Science of Cannabidiol (CBD): An Argument for Keeping Medical Marijuana Laws Independent of Recreational Marijuana Laws
Strain-specific properties of cannabis have been observed for centuries. Plants that are grown for hemp-related uses are not useful for recreational purposes, since they are deliberately selected for fiber quality and low concentrations of the psychoactive molecule, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC). As we progress in the cultural acceptance of both recreational and medical cannabis, we also progress in our scientific understanding of the strain-specific qualities.
Of special note are the many molecules related to THC that do not manifest the same psychoactive properties as THC, but, in some cases, appear to have very specific physiological effects. Some reports imply that there are as many as 97 THC-related alkaloids found in various strains of cannabis (although it should be noted that many of these are likely to be biosynthetic intermediates with little or no function in the human body). The growing field of agricultural genetics has been the most important contributor to the diversity now seen in cannabis strains for medical and recreational use.
Give credit to the scientists, who over the last century have illegally hybridized various species of cannabis sativa (for hemp and flower), cannabis indica (short habit and flower), and cannabis ruderalis (outdoor rigor) to produce the diversity of strains now present in our culture. While it has also been essentially illegal to use federal research funds to study cannabis science, even medical cannabis, some scientific details are beginning to emerge thanks to both private funding and funding from countries where cannabis production has remained legal.
In remarkable harmony with the progress of the internet and social media, some uncontrolled/observational cannabis science is starting to become statistical, which is a form of empirical science. A trend which continues to gain traction, as dispensaries and companies like knox medical continue to grow, then so does our empirical data. The word is out that strains containing high concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD) are particularly good for treating a variety of central nervous system disorders, in particular epilepsy and seizures in children. Consequently, the top cbd oil products are becoming more and more sought after due to their health benefits. The magic of combining genetics with social media has resulted in growing support of strains that provide the physically soothing effects of CBD, but contain little or no THC, like the hemp-producing strains (which, by the way, typically also contain CBD). With the help of companies such as slickvapes, it has never been easier for people to get their hands on the necessary equipment and accessories to be able to consume products such as CBD oil for health reasons. Since most of us would want our children to wait until adulthood to experiment with the psychoactive components of recreational cannabis, it seems reasonable to use CBD-heavy strains for the medical treatment of children.
There has been much debate about whether children should use any form of cannabis, even medical cannabis, so calls for supporting science abound. One thing is for certain and known scientifically. Some cannabis strains produce lots of THC and have remained the most desirable for recreational use. When it comes to using CBD in relation to health, there are a lot of products out there that are said to have benefits to health when used. Whether this is a topical CBD cream to help with muscle pain, tablets to help reduce anxiety or CBD honey sticks similar to the ones on sites like oliversharvest.com that can be added to food/drink, there are many ways that people can consume CBD to hopefully improve their health.
So, should cannabis strains of distinct medical value really fall under the same regulation and taxation if they produce none of the psychoactive properties of THC-rich cannabis strains? In my opinion, clearly not.

Driven by terror threats and a potential Hillary Clinton administration, sales of guns in America soared to record levels in 2016, according to the FBI.
Just released FBI background check numbers, which roughly equate gun sales, totaled some 27,538,673, 4 million more than in 2015 and nearly double the number in President Obama's first year.
The numbers do not include many guns sold to or given to friends and family.
Sales hit record levels for some 19 months in a row as the number of terrorist attacks around the world and here at home increased, driving purchases by those seeking protection. The increase paralleled increases in those seeking a license to carry a concealed weapon.
The administration's constant, but failed, efforts to impose gun control, and threats by Clinton to double down on those efforts, also pushed gun sales to record highs.
In fact, Obama was often called the "salesman in chief" for the gun industry.
It's more than that! I Arizona when you have a CCW permit your application is passed by DPS and stays here in Arizona.
Lets look at gun grabbers: 1. Adolf Hitler, 2. Joseph Stalin, 3. Benito Mussolini, 4. Mao Tze Tung, 5. Pol Pot, 6. Fidel Castro, 7. Hugo Chavez, 8. Karl Marx, 9. Ted Kennedy, 10. Nancy Pelosi, 11. Diane Feinstein. Boy is that a list from history up to current day!!!
All based on facts & results!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 13, 2013
Mick Moloney to Perform in Cape May
CAPE MAY, NJ – Award-winning musician and folklorist Mick Moloney brings Ireland to Cape May
Convention Hall on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 17 at 4 pm. Mick has recorded and produced over
forty albums of traditional music, and his 2006 release McNally's Row of Flats was named the number-one traditional Irish album by noted music commentator Earle Hitchner. Says Hitchner: "No one has
succeeded more in taking this once-vital part of Irish American culture out of musty archives and
moldering dissertations and placing it afresh on CD and concert stage than Mick Moloney."
Born in Ireland, Mick came to America in 1973 and has pursued a career that uniquely combines the
roles of musician, folklorist, author, presenter, radio and television personality, and educator. Mick is
the author of Far From the Shamrock Shore: The story of Irish American History Through Song, with
an accompanying music CD that uses song to narrate the journey of Irish immigration to America. He
has hosted three nationally syndicated series of folk music on American Public Television, and was
awarded the 1999 National Heritage Award from the National Endowment for the Arts — the highest
official honor a traditional artist can receive in the United States.
The Ugly Mug, one of the area's favorite spots for over 85 years,
will be selling some of it's famous pub grub and beverage starting at 3 p.m. Patrons are encouraged to get Convention Hall early to kick off the Irish festivities with a pint of Guinness or Smithwicks!
Tickets for Mick Moloney are available at Cape May Convention Hall Box Office or by calling (855)
708-9699 or (609) 884-9563. Admission is $26. Applicable facility fees apply. Learn more about Mick

Очередная карта на прохождение с нарастающей сложностью. Судьба заносит нас в удивительные места, где, казалось бы, ничего особенного произойти не могло и не может. Или же…
Before approaching Memphis, Sam has found an interesting village, which has been called a mirage by other explorers many years ago. They say, that it disappears every time you try getting closer. Yet, Sam found it kind of physical, so another adventure begins! Yet, you need to know — every legend contains some small part of truth. Who knows, maybe there is indeed some unknown even for Mental himself evil, waiting for others to uncover it.
A medium-long SP/COOP map, where your skills will be tested. Difficulty is rising during the whole level, so you will have to encounter some big problems. Contains some new enemy, over 600 enemies to fight with, and few fun secrets.
You can find this map at «Multiplayer maps». If you encounter problems with FPS — just set Shadow map size a bit lower. It doesn't change anything at all, so don't worry about that. 🙂
WARNING: Once Devostator ports Talos cliffs as separated item for workshop, the map's size will be significantly reduced, yet you will need this item. That also means SS3.
Big thanks for testing to:

Huge thanks to )>-| ZCaliptium |-<( for idea of Statue's design, and polishing the lore and whole idea of map. :>
There're also rumors, that map might bug a bit if you die too much. I don't believe in it.
Good luck. 🙂

There is a new Easter Egg available on Google for those who love finding fun things on Google's search engine. The company has designed a cool hidden feature that helps musicians keep beat – a metronome.
This feature was spotted by the Google Operating System blog, and found that by doing a Google search for
[metronome], users will get an interactive metronome directly in search results.
When the metronome first loads up, the default rate is 120 BPM (beats per minute), but the full range of the tool goes from 40 BPM to 208 BPM, and can be adjusted using the "-" and "+" buttons on either side of the scale. Another neat feature of the metronome is that the color of the UI changes along with the beat.

Needs StatementLung cancer is almost totally preventable by eliminating firsthand and secondhand smoking and radon exposure. Exposure to radon, a colorless, odorless gas from the decomposition of uranium in the ground, is associated with an estimated 15,400 to 21,800 cases, or approximately 10% of lung cancer cases in the United States each year. The U.S. Guide to Clinical Preventive Services addresses both lung cancer screening and tobacco cessation counseling approaches, but it makes no mention of measures to avoid radon or SHS, despite the fact that radon and SHS exposure are completely preventable and the second and third leading causes of lung cancer.
Although radon is a risk for both smokers and nonsmokers, more radon-related lung cancers occur in individuals with a history of smoking or exposure to tobacco smoke. There is evidence of synergism between the effects of radon exposure and tobacco smoke exposure on the development of lung cancer. The combination of first and secondhand smoke and radon exposure increases the risk of lung cancer nearly tenfold. If exposed to 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of radon over a lifetime, 7 per 1,000 of those who never smoked would develop lung cancer versus 62 of 1,000 smokers who would develop lung cancer. Among never-smokers, radon exposure may be more harmful for those exposed to secondhand smoke, although there is conflicting evidence on the link between radon and lung cancer in non-smokers. A recent case-only study revealed a gene-environment interaction between low-dose secondhand smoke and residential radon exposure in never-smokers, the GSTM1 null genotype, and risk of lung cancer.
Radon can be detected with a simple test and easily controlled through well-established venting techniques; however, inequities exist in awareness and affordability and access to radon mitigation. As a consequence, the effectiveness of risk-based testing for high levels of radon exposure has proven inadequate and led to a recommendation by the U.S. Surgeon General that all homes be tested for radon. Radon levels greater than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) are at the action level requiring mitigation as designated by the Environmental Protection Agency. However, households with smokers may be less likely to test for radon than those without smokers, despite the fact that smokers are at greater risk for developing lung cancer from radon exposure than never-smokers.
Target AudiencePhysicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Lung Cancer Screening Providers, Counselors, Social Workers, Certified Health Educators, Students, Radon Awareness Advocates and Educators
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Describe how exposure to radon gas progeny increases the risk of developing lung cancer, especially in combination with tobacoo smoke.
2. Discuss the basics of radon exposure, testing procedures, and mitigation.
3. Discuss the laws and policies designed to reduce radon risk.
4. Communicate with patients and families that radon's radioactive decay products may initiate and propogate carcinogesis in the lung.
5. Provide answers for frequently asked questions from patients and the community.
6. Discuss how strategies and knowledge of resources can prompt patient and families to test their homes for radon and mitigate as indicated.

- We Must Continue Calling the Cannabis Plant "Marijuana" - February 19, 2018
- New Psychedelic Online Conferences and Safe Spaces for People of Color - July 29, 2020
- The Emergence of a New Market: Psychedelic Science Conferences - February 12, 2020
- The Use of Psychoactive Plants in the Americas - September 11, 2019
Since their inception, international policies toward drugs have been characterized by being racist, classist, colonialist, and created by a Western elite that has failed to consider the diversity of traditional uses for plants and psychoactive substances. This disregard has generated political, economic, and social repercussions, and has affected cultural practices, particularly in indigenous communities. These communities have seen a big impact on the ritual, religious, and medical wisdom about plants that are, and have always been, considered sacred for many societies in the Americas.
Despite these restrictions, many indigenous communities in the Americas have managed to safeguard their ancestral knowledge about the use of psychoactive plants and the extensive collective imagination and mythology that surrounds these species. We believe that this traditional knowledge about sacred plants needs to be listened to, considered, and appreciated to generate new approaches to the current drug situation.
Mexico is known for the devastation and violence cause by the so-called "War on Drugs" that has cost countless lives, with deaths on the rise, and other economic, healthcare, social, and cultural consequences. But the country also stands out for the enormous biological diversity of its endemic psychoactive species, including peyote and fungi like psilocybin, as well as ololiuhqui and Salvia divinorum, not to mention the role of these species in pre-Hispanic religion; scientific research into narcotic, stimulant, and hallucinogenic alkaloids; Mexico's historical importance in psychedelic movements in the 60s and 70s; the ritual and medical practices of contemporary indigenous and mestizo populations, and countless cultural expressions both past and present. Mexico's social and historical situation is not unique; it has much in common with other Latin American countries.
In February of this year, on the shores of majestic Lake Chapala in Ajijic, Jalisco—a sacred Wixárika site that has been visited by known figures in the psychedelic scene, such as Timothy Leary—more than 1,500 people from around the world, including representatives from indigenous communities, social scientists, traditional doctors, and allopaths, legal experts, and others interested in entheogens and drugs met to exchange opinions, learn, and reflect on psychoactives at the Sacred Plants in the Americas Congress. The event, organized by CIESAS-Occidente, Colectivo Drogas Política y Cultura, and Chacruna, led to multidisciplinary and interethnic dialogue between anthropology, history, traditional knowledge, psychedelic medicine, and drug policy reform. This allowed knowledge and struggles to be shared, gave voice to ancient wisdom, built bridges and networks, and opened and promoted debates.
One of the highlights was the discussion around the problems faced by the Wixárika people defending Wirikuta—the region in northeast Mexico where peyote grows—and other sacred sites. Híkuri, or the Lophophora williamsii cactus, also known as peyote, is threatened by mining extraction projects and ongoing tensions in the area caused by ecological, political, legal, and cultural issues; not to mention the fact that the plant is illegal.
These controversies showed us the importance of these insights into psychoactive plants and their molecules, the diverse areas of research yet to be explored, the many underlying political and economic interests, and the need for legislative reform. To achieve this reform, we need to deepen our knowledge of history, anthropology, psychedelic medicine, biology, ecology, chemical components and their effects on human consciousness, and physiology in order to build fair, tolerant, and inclusive policies backed by science that compensate for the damage already caused to cultural practices by anti-drug policies and do not divest the plants of their sacredness.

When we first wrote your Homeowners policy, the extensive questions and information we gathered from you were designed to assure your coverage was specifically-tailored to your insurance needs. As time goes by, it's common for a home owner to upgrade their residence. Such activities are normal, but all Homeowners insurance companies require an insured notify their agent of such improvements to assure current limits of coverage reflect the correct values to rebuild or repair that home in the event of a covered loss. Examples of improvements to a home that should be brought to our attention include:
- Addition of solar panels
- Replacement of laminate counter tops with granite or other stone surfaces
- Replacement of a composition roof with architectural shingles, or tile of any type
- Switching laminate flooring to hardwood or stone materials such as marble, etc.
- New, upgraded cabinets in kitchens or bathrooms
- Room Additions or garage conversions.
As a guideline, if your home's value increases by 5% or more due to physical changes you make to its size or appearance, notify your agent and provide details of the improvements.
Yes, this will likely increase your premium a little, but failure to do so has the potential to cost you thousands or tens of thousands of dollars because your home was under-insured.

8.19.16 Issue
Emily Newman, Intern, Jewish Press
This summer, I was given the opportunity by my aunt to go on the trip of a life time – an Alaskan cruise! We would be docking in several Alaskan ports (and even a Canadian one!), exploring glaciers, and observing the wildlife north of the border. Nothing could have made me more excited!
Not long after I was told I would be taken along on this journey, I was sitting in the office of Annette Van de Kamp-Wright (yes, your Jewish Press Editor extraordinaire!) and I jokingly made the statement – "I doubt there are any Jews in Alaska…!" Then she challenged me… she said: "Most people do not think of Jews in Nebraska either! Do some research!" All it took was a quick Google of Alaskan Jews on my phone for me to be humbled, for according to the Jewish Virtual Library there are an estimated 6,175 Jews in Alaska. The percentage of the Alaskan population that is Jewish is estimated at 0.84%. Both of these numbers exceed the estimations provided for Nebraska, which came in at 6,100 Jews with Jews making up only about 0.33% of the population. You can imagine my shock (and even the slight embarrassment at my assumption!)
Finding this information meant that as soon as I stepped foot on the cruise ship, I began to look for any Jewish connection I could find on my Alaskan trip. I even spent a few hours in the small library on board the ship doing some research… as it turns out, I did not even have to wait until our Holland America ship, the Amsterdam, dropped us off in our first Alaskan port in Juneau to find something! The ship librarian showed me a certificate that was awarded to the ship by the Jewish National Fund stating that "a tree had been planted in the hills of Jerusalem in commemoration of the inaugural call of the M.V Amsterdam, under the representation of A Rosenfeld Shipping Ltd. Port Agents in Israel." This got me excited – there was the start of the connection I was looking for, the Jewish connection I would be trying to locate in Alaska. Although the ship itself has and will make many more routes throughout the world than merely those throughout Alaska, it was a start!
My next connection would be found just the next day, in our first stop in Juneau. After taking a helicopter ride through the snow-capped mountains to hike on a glacier, we found ourselves with some extra time to walk around the port before we re-boarded the ship. On our walk, I stopped into a jewelry store and immediately, the sales clerk asked where we were from. Taken aback at his abrupt curiosity, I told him we were from Nebraska. Then, yet again you can imagine my shock when he replied: "Wow! There are Jews in Nebraska?" I looked down and realized he was reacting to the Star of David I had forgotten I was wearing.
I could not help but laugh. I, as I can imagine all of Nebraskan Jews, have been on the receiving end of this statement before – but from a Jew in Juneau, Alaska? A place so remote that the only way to get there is to go by plane, helicopter, or boat? He shared in my laughter, for only we could understand the hilarity of the situation.
He told me that there is actually a Jewish presence in Juneau, although somewhat small (serving 35 families), at the Congregation of Sukkat Shalom. All you have to do is look at their webpage to envy the views they must see outside of their synagogue's windows! And forget destination weddings… they offer destination Bar Mitzvahs!
Yet the most exciting connection I would come across, at least for me, would be in our stop in Sitka, Alaska. As soon as I stepped onto the main street by the harbor, I immediately shrieked to my aunt: "Hold on! I NEED to get a picture of that flag!" For above a large log cabin-style building, placed in the middle of several other flags, waved a proud Israeli flag.
I then went into one of the stores inside the log building. It was an international art gallery that imports art from all over the world, including Israel. The sales associate was able to point out several paintings that were up for purchase from varying Israeli artists (unfortunately, due to the nature of the art business, no photos were allowed…).
All of these experiences showed me that there is definitely a Jewish connection in Alaska, even if I spent a large amount of my trip aboard a cruise ship. These connections might have been only small encounters on a personal level, but they were there – and have been the inspiration for continued research. They provide proof that the Jewish people are diverse, and that there is no single "Jewish Lifestyle." Although it might not fit the stereotypical model of what a Jewish life looks like, a stereotype I am sad to say that even I, as a Nebraska Jew, could not help but feed into on a certain level. Jews exist in many different cultures, from large cities to small towns, from New York City to Nebraska, and even to Alaska!
Here are some more fun facts about "Jewish Alaska," according to Gabe Friedman for forward.com:
• Four mountain peaks in Alaska are named after Jews, including Mount Ripinsky for Solomon Ripinsky, a former mayor of Haines, Alaska, and Mount Neuberger for former Oregon Senator Richard Neuberger, who supported Alaskan statehood.
• The largest Jewish congregation in Alaska, Congregation Beth Sholom in Anchorage, calls Alaskan Jews the "frozen chosen." (Its website is frozenchosen.org.)
• Western lawman Sheriff Wyatt Earp and his Jewish wife Josie ran a saloon in Nome.
• Russian-born Jew, Abe Spring was the first mayor of Fairbanks. In 1906, during a period of Russian pogroms, he proposed housing persecuted Russian Jews in Alaska. The plan was rejected by Congress.

Origin: Austria - Wachau | Variety: Pinot Noir | Producer: Domäne Wachau
Domäne Wachau is one of Austria's most renowned wineries, based in Austria's most prestigious wine growing region, the Wachau. Steep terraced yineyards, a cool, marginal climate and meagre primary rock soils define the wines.
Pinot Noir
Red wine grapes for this Pinot Noir were sourced from vineyards surrounding the wine village of Weissenkirchen, small lots were sourced from Rossatz-Arnsdorf and Mautern on the Danube's south bank. In Weissenkirchen, the vines grow on lower stone-walled terrace slopes which are dominated by meagre primary rock soils. In Rossatz-Arnsdorf and Mautern, the vineyards are planted on loess soils with a high lime component.
Tasting Note
Medium ruby red with purple highlights. Open and multi-layered on the nose offering spicy liquorice, subtle hints of tobacco, black pepper and appealing fruit flavours of ripe sour cherries and red currant, hints of cloves, wild strawberry and nutmeg. In the mouth, the wine is quite firm and well-structured yet tight and elegant leading to an expressive finish. The silky tannins lend abundant drinking pleasure. Long and lingering finish.
How to enjoy best
This wine is a versatile food match: pasta, pizza or meat dishes – particularly veal or beef. We also recommend serving it with lamb or slightly more full-flavoured cheese. This wine can be enjoyed young but will also age well for 5-8 years. Ideal serving temperature is 19 °C (64 °F).

Merry Christmas 2017 from our family to your family
Posted By RichC on December 12, 2017
A year has passed once again and our family is looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus this Christmas season. Brenda is busy decorating and shopping (with my "questionable" help), and I'm tinkering way too much working on a couple of silly little homemade projects. Perhaps one of these years I'll get started on something earlier that is worth the effort?
One of our annual traditions that has drifted out of popularity in the age of social networks is the sending of Christmas cards and our annual Christmas letter to our family and friends. This year was one of generational change with the passing of Brenda's mother (our last parent) and the birth of our first granddaughter, Annalyn. Bittersweet not to have had a parent alive to see another generation begin.
So if you're not on our Christmas card list, here's wishing you a Merry Christmas 2017 and click image below for our 2017 Corbett Christmas Letter (EDIT: also archiving Katelyn, Drew and Annalyn Oostra's 2017 Christmas Card to us).

After Britney Thomas, a 17-year-old Australian cricket player, fractured her thumb during a game, doctors in April 2018 reassured her that a simple surgery and a short recovery in a hard plaster cast would soon have her back on the pitch. So Thomas expected a routine procedure at Latrobe Regional Hospital, a medical center about two hours from Melbourne. After repairing the bone, doctors sent her home.
Six days later she was back in excruciating pain, and when the doctor peeled off her cast, she was horrified to see a totally dead thumb. She'd soon learn that thanks to an error by the hospital, the thumb would need to be amputated - and replaced with her toe.
"It was an uncomplicated fracture, an uncomplicated surgery and a pretty awful mistake," Tom Ballantyne, a lawyer who represents Thomas, told The Washington Post.
The shocking medical mishap was first reported this week in an investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation into problems at regional hospitals in Australia, where routine injuries have had dire consequences for patients. Doctors at other hospitals have ignored necrotic infections and misplaced breathing tubes, leaving patients severely disabled or even dead, the channel reported. The series has spurred several regional hospitals to publicly account for shortcomings.
Thomas' gruesome case came after she played in a cricket match in Hong Kong in late March 2018, when she split a bone in her left thumb. An orthopedic surgeon corrected the fracture in a routine surgery, then set the injury in a plaster cast.
When the teen returned days later with intense pain in her hand, the doctor found her thumb was swollen and dark purple. The problem was obvious: It was still bound with an elastic tourniquet mistakenly left in place after the surgery.
"They pulled the plaster off and it was very dark, looked very dead," Leanne Keating, Thomas's mother, told a reporter the ABC.
The prognosis shocked Thomas, who keeps her cricket trophies on her bedroom dresser and dreamed of becoming a professional player.
"They took me into emergency and they were like, 'Oh, you're probably going to lose your thumb,'" Thomas told ABC. "I was in so much disbelief."
Most of her thumb had died, she learned. Doctors first applied leeches to try to encourage blood to return to the dead tissue and then sewed it to Thomas' groin in hopes of restoring the thumb's blood flow and nerve response. Eventually, a surgeon amputated the maimed appendage, then cut off Thomas' big toe to replace it.
"People ask me, they're like 'Oh why does your thumb look so weird?'" Thomas told ABC reporter Louise Milligan. "And I'm like, 'Because it's not my thumb, it's my toe."
The hospital's mistake left Thomas with severely limited use of her left hand. Her foot had to be significantly altered in surgery, too. To replace Thomas' big toe, doctors took a piece of her hip and created a new bone for her foot.
"It was a really basic, gross error of leaving the tourniquet on," Ballantyne told The Post.
Latrobe Regional Hospital is the main medical facility in the Gippsland region of southeastern Victoria, Australia, where Thomas lives. Ballantyne says it is the regional hospital where most people go for serious medical treatments such as chemotherapy or orthopedic surgery, unless they travel all the way to Melbourne.
Latrobe Regional Hospital later launched an investigation that found the surgical team had checked a box indicating the tourniquet had been removed, but it had not. Hospital officials did not immediately return a request for comment, but the hospital's chief executive, Peter Craighead, spoke to ABC.
"I felt sick in the stomach," he said. "It's very devastating, you know, that you see something happen like that."
Thomas, meanwhile, missed so much class during her medical crisis she dropped out of school. She can hardly hit a cricket ball now.
"I couldn't grip the bat," she said, while showing a reporter how her toe-turned-thumb cannot bend at the knuckle.

October 18, 2018 two armchairs by Renzo Zavanella were sold at Phillips for £35,000 while estimated between £18,000 – 24,000.
Tag: Phillips (Phillips de Pury & Company)
The Phillips auction house that formerly was known as Phillips de Pury and Company
PP530 Tub Chair by Hans Wegner
The green PP530 Tub Chair by Hans Wegner I saw in the Design Museum Danmark in Kopenhagen.
PP Mobler about it:
Conceived in 1954 the Tub Chair was a pioneering experiment, and it turned out to be the most advanced shell chair design Wegner ever did, as the back of the chair is a complicated double bent shell comprising two individual shapes: One that is bent and one that is both bent and twisted.
Even besides the complexity of the back, the Tub Chair is a unique fusion, where Wegner merge the moulded plywood technique with upholstery and traditional work in solid wood and even adding a metal angle adjustment mechanism for the back. It is one of the most striking and brilliant examples of Wegner's vision and courage, and still it is a most practical, usable and comfortable chair.
However, the Tub Chair was not technically possible to produce in a rational way within the lifetime of Wegner. As our techniques have developed, PP Møbler has been able to produce this great tribute and introduce this bold design in celebration of the 100 years anniversary of Wegner, one of the greatest designers of all times.
The black one I found at the auction site of Phillips where an early model was sold for UK pound 50,000 in October 2015
The Catalogue about it:
The present lot is one of two known period examples of the 'Tub' chair, a model which did not enter into wider production during Hans J. Wegner's lifetime. The chair seat is composed of two pieces of fabric-covered moulded plywood. It rests on a dramatically angled oak base and is supported by a brass mechanism that allows for adjustment of the back angle. Its complexity prohibited fabrication in greater number, though it was included in the 1954 Cabinetmaker's Guild exhibition in Copenhagen. The chair is a notable example of Wegner's explorations into the possibilities of plywood, but ultimately the demands of employing both laminate and solid wood construction concurrently were too great and he chose to focus on the latter.
The design of the 'Tub' chair shares the intuitive elegance of Wegner's other furniture, and references certain features of his most well-known chair designs specifically. While structurally more elaborate, the clamshell-form seat relates to the 'Peacock' chair (1947) and the forceful forward movement of the base to the 'Folding' chair (1949). The 'Tub' most closely anticipates Wegner's 'Shell' chair of 1963. It is notable that even a decade after the introduction of the 'Tub', the 'Shell' form was still considered too radical for its time. It was following the 'Shell' chair designs that Wegner closed the chapter on his experiments with plywood. However by 1989 it was picked for the cover of the catalogue for the exhibition celebrating Wegner's 77th birthday and has since become one of his most iconic masterpieces. The present chair is consequently a rare illustration of some of his earliest career-defining ideas.
Maya Lin Longitude Chaise
This Longitude Chaise by Maya Lin was sold at Phillips as Lot 38 for $3,250. It had an estimate of $5,000 – 7,000. It belonged to her "the Earth is (Not) Flat" series.
About Maya Lin
In 1981, at age 21 and while still an undergraduate, Maya Lin won a public design competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, beating 1,441 other competition submissions. The black cut-stone masonry wall, with the names of 57,661 fallen soldiers carved into its face, was completed in late October 1982 and dedicated on November 13, 1982. It is granite and V-shaped, with one side pointing to the Lincoln Memorial and the other to the Washington Monument.
Lin's conception was to create an opening or a wound in the earth to symbolize the gravity of the loss of the soldiers. The design was initially controversial for what was an unconventional and non-traditional design for a war memorial. Opponents of the design also voiced objection because of Lin's Asian ethnicity, her being female, and her lack of professional experience. The memorial has since become an important pilgrimage site for relatives and friends of the American military casualties in Vietnam, and personal tokens and mementos are left at the wall daily in their memory. In 2007, the American Institute of Architects ranked the memorial #10 on their list of America's Favorite Architecture.
Lin believes that if the competition had not been "blind", with designs submitted by number instead of name, she "never would have won". She received harassment after her ethnicity was revealed. Prominent businessman and later third party presidential candidate Ross Perot called her an "egg roll" after it was revealed that she was Asian. Lin defended her design in front of the United States Congress, and eventually a compromise was reached. A bronze statue of a group of soldiers and an American flag was placed off to one side of her design.

Four side chairs by Joaquim Tenreiro
Sold at Phillips on December 13, 2016: Four side chairs by Joaquim Tenreiro. Sold for $16,250.
About Joaquim Tenreiro
Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992) is the pioneer of modernist Brazilian furniture making. A forerunner in the use of rediscovered raw materials as well as the creator of a new formal language in 20thcentury Brazilian furniture design, he drew on the lessons of past furniture making as a vital source, not only in the mastery of technical and constructive solutions, but also in the aesthetic experience, craftsmanship, and the cultural meaning of his production. His exquisitely crafted pieces evoke a refined coexistence of traditional values and modern aesthetics, strongly bound to the Brazilian cultural milieu.
Born in Portugal to a family with a great tradition in furniture making, he moved to Brazil in 1928 at the age of 22. He embarked on a career as a designer by working at various furniture manufacturers such as Leandro Martins, Francisco Gomes and Laubisch & Hirth, which catered to wealthy Brazilian families eager to buy furniture with a conservative design that imitated traditional European styles. Tenreiro's vast experience in arts and crafts as well as furniture design was naturally contrary to such bourgeois expectations. Explicitly reacting against what he perceived as provincialism of a colonized society, Tenreiro proposed a contemporary language and advocated the idea that Brazilian furniture should be "formally light…A lightness which has nothing to do with weight itself, but with graciousness, and the functionality of spaces."
In the early 1940s, Tenreiro founded his own furniture studio, Langenbach & Tenreiro Ltda, where his work began to gain more recognition. However, it was not until the 1950s that he began to be recognized as a master furniture designer in Brazil. His design philosophy found a great response with architects who supported modernism. Tenreiro found in Oscar Niemeyer his greatest client, designing furniture for his houses and completely breaking away from the virtuosity of antique styles. He developed a language adapted to the country's heat, using wicker and Brazilian hardwoods in abundance.
In spite of his success and his professional recognition, Tenreiro closed his furniture studio in 1967 and decided to devote himself exclusively to fine arts, taking up once again a path that he had discontinued long before. During the next following decades until his death in 1992, his works were included in many art and design exhibitions held at renowned galleries and museums in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. A forerunner in the truest sense of the word, the "father" of modern furniture in Brazil left behind an unrivaled aesthetic legacy.

Lathe II by Sebastian Brajkovic for Sale
Lathe II by Sebastian Brajkovic is for sale at Phillips on a December 13, 2016 auction in NYC. Estimate is $15,000 – 20,000.
Update: Not Sold!
About Sebastian Brajkovic
Sebastian Brajkovic investigates the notions of perspective and distortion of form through his sculptural furniture pieces. This interest in the rotation and skewing of an object originated from his childhood, when reel-to-reel tape decks and car wheels were such a source of overwhelming intrigue to the young Brajkovic that his parents wondered if he might be autistic (he was not).
As he matured his fascination manifested itself in painting and sculpture, eventually resulting in the creation of the Lathe series of tables and chairs, which have been identified as a modern classic of design and reside in the permanent collection of institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (London) and the Museum of Arts and Design (New York).

"Cloud computing" has become a real buzz term. It often involves delivering hosted services, such as software packages, over the internet. The concept was virtually unheard of not so long ago but is now a fast growing segment of the accounting software market.
Bruce Saward looks at the impact that the "Cloud" is making in the accounting arena and what sort of advantages businesses can expect by transitioning to cloud offerings.

We can hardly say this is a surprise but it's sad news nevertheless. Logitech hosted an Analyst and Investor Day yesterday during which Logitech's CEO said the Revue 'cost us dearly,' largely blaming it on the fact that Google TV was "beta" software. He also explained a bit more about Logitech's try to get into the TV market:
To make the long story short, we thought we had invented [sliced] bread and we just made them. [We made a commitment to] just build a lot because we expected everybody to line up for Christmas and buy these boxes [at] $300 […] that was a big mistake.
Logitech openly admits that "Operational miscues in EMEA and Logitech Revue cost us well over $100M in operating profits," so if you're looking for a follow up Google TV device, you're going to be waiting for the "grandchild of Google TV."
On top of that, the future of Google TV is far from certain. No matter how exciting Google TV 3.1 is, factors like Adobe announcing that it will stop supporting Flash on TV's, and Sony not being too excited about Google TV either, your Android on TV future perspective is all but certain.
