WASHINGTON, D.C. – If President Trump obeys the law and stops Treasury from diverting funds to pay Obamacare subsidies that Congress refused to fund, Obamacare will self-destruct almost immediately.
A key date is May 12, 2016. That was the day when U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer, in the case U.S. House of Representatives v. Burwell, (130 F. Supp. 3d 53, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia), ruled against Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell.
Judge Collyer decided HHS Secretary Burwell had no constitutional authority to divert funds Congress appropriated to one section of the ACA to fund Obamacare subsidy payments to insurers under another section of the ACA, Section 1402 – the clause defining the insurer subsidies – when Congress specifically declined to appropriate any funds to Section 1402 for paying the insurance subsidy.
"Paying out Section 1402 reimbursements without an appropriation thus violates the Constitution," Judge Collyer concluded. "Congress authorized reduced cost sharing but did not appropriate monies for it, in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget or since."
The Obama administration appealed the District Court decision in U.S. House of Representatives v. Burwell to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Obama administration on its own authority decided to continue paying the ACA insurance subsidies that Congress refused to fund, while the case was under appeal.
Knowing Congress had refused to fund the insurance subsidies, the Obama administration was never forthcoming in answering directly whether the ACA insurance subsidy payments came from the Fannie/Freddie NWS, or from other sources in the Treasury taxpayer general funds.
The point is that if the Trump administration simply decided to drop the Circuit Court appeal in Burwell, the District Court decision would become established law.
The result would be the Trump administration would be forbidden from diverting federal funds to pay the ACA insurance subsidies, with the result Obamacare would implode.
"The Obama administration appealed the decision, but if the Trump administration were to drop that appeal, the subsidies would disappear," commented Julie Rovner, Kaiser Health News, in an article published on April 9, 2017.
If insurance companies were forced to take a loss by absorbing the cost above what low-income insured could afford to pay for the insurance coverage required under Obamacare, no insurance company could afford to provide health insurance to low-income insureds under the ACA.
On March 13, 2017, Infowars.com published a detailed analysis of the Treasury Department's financial report for Fiscal Year 2013 demonstrating how the Treasury used the Net Worth Sweep to confiscate all profits from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, placing the funds into line items on the Treasury balance sheet so the funds could be swept into Obamacare on the sly.
The problem is that Congress specifically declined to appropriate any funds to Section 1402 to pay for the insurance subsidy the ACA required for low-income individuals and families to afford the insurance the ACA provided.
If the low-income insurance subsidies cannot be paid, what the Obama administration understood is that the Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as Obamacare, would implode immediately.
The point is Obamacare depends on Congress funding enough taxpayer money to pay the insurance companies subsidies that are the difference between what their health insurance truly costs and the minimal amount low-income families can afford to pay.
Joshua Rosner, a managing director of the New York-based independent research firm Graham Fisher & Co., also concluded the Obama administration likely had diverted the Fannie/Freddie Net Worth Sweep to pay Obamacare insurance subsidies, based largely on a detailed analysis of the public record and the 45 documents released in litigation brought forward by the Government Sponsored Entities' (GSEs') investors.
Rosner argues that the Trump administration could easily make public the remainder of the 11,000 total documents the Obama administration sealed by simply removing Obama's claim of executive privilege.
Rosner further believes the Obama administration fought to keep these documents from public inspection because the documents likely show the step-by-step machinations the Obama administration went through behind closed doors in their scramble to avoid having to negotiate with the Republicans on the debt ceiling and on sequestrations, while the Obama administration searched frantically to find a way to defy the will of Congress by finding funds somewhere to divert to Obamacare.
"Given that the Obama Administration sought to fund $130 billion of unappropriated monies to health insurers beginning in FY2013, one must wonder if the decision to amend the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement in August 2012 and sweep GSE profits of $130 billion in 2013 ($82.4 billion from Fannie Mae, and $47.6 billion from Freddie Mac) was an attempt to circumvent Congress on the single most important policy priority of the White House," Rosner concluded.
That the Trump administration has not decided to stop diverting funds to pay the ACA insurance subsidies was made clear by a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in January 2017, examining how repealing various parts of the ACS would affect health insurance coverage and premiums.
Here, the CBO estimated eliminating the ACA's expansion of Medicaid eligibility and of the subsidies for insurance purchased through the ACA marketplaces would increase the number uninsured in the firs new plan year following enactment of the bill by 18 million, with the number to increase to 32 million by 2026.
Infowars.com has reported that a key proponent for continuing the NWS has been Tennessee's Republican Sen. Bob Corker, derisively referred to by those seeking to save Fannie and Freddie as the "Senator for Wells Fargo," given the dominance of Wells Fargo versus other commercial banks in the mortgage market, as well as the key role Wells Fargo loans have played to Corker's political success and the millions of dollars in personal net worth he has managed to amass.
In a letter dated March 29, 2017, Corker rounded up four other U.S. Senators, including Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warner to write a letter to Melvin Watt, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, asking the Trump administration to continue the Obama NWS without interruption.
But Corker and Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner do not want Freddie and Fannie to recapitalize because this would be directly counter the "housing finance reform" legislation Corker and Warner have co-sponsored since 2013.
That legislation aims to complete the Obama administration plan to create a "bank-centric" market, shut down Fannie and Freddie, and squeeze out small independent lenders and community banks, while handing over all U.S. mortgage finance to Wall Street and to big banks, like Wells Fargo.
Corker and Warner, with their proposed legislation, have schemed to advance what leaked Geithner-era Treasury documents published by Infowars.com prove was an Obama administration plan to end "home ownership" as part of the American Dream.
These leaked documents show Obama's Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner lead a series of among Obama administration officials and outside real estate "experts" that were closed to the press, aiming to "wind down" Fannie and Freddie, knowing full well that closing Fannie and Freddie would turn the U.S. middle class into a nation of "well-housed" renters, with bank owners/masters, on the model of the European Union.

Internacional midfielder Oscar has turned down a move to Tottenham Hotspur whilst Jan Vertonghen's protracted transfer could soon be resolved.
New Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas wanted the Brazil international to replace Luka Modric with the Croatian playmaker expected to sign for Spanish champions Real Madrid later in the summer.
Villas-Boas has already signed Hoffenheim's Gylfi Sigurdsson and has been been linked with Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra but Oscar is rumoured to be high on his shopping list.
However the 20-year-old says he has no intention of leaving his current side after he revealed the North London club has been in contact with his agent to enquire about his availability.
"Tottenham did contact my agent but I am focusing on Internacional," said the former Sao Paulo playmaker.
"That will always happen. I don't know if there was an official offer. But for those that are young and impress a bit, this is normal.
"I can't worry about this. I'm not thinking about leaving Internacional now."
The disappointment of Oscar's snub will be soothed by the news that Vertonghen will hold talks with Ajax on Friday in order to resolve the dispute holding up his transfer.
Tottenham have agreed a £9 million fee for the Belgian central defender and it's understood that he is entitled to a percentage of that, which the Dutch club disagree with.
Vertonghen is in the final year of his contract at the Amsterdam Arena and is keen to join Spurs and is hoping to settle the issue when he meets with Ajax representatives.
"We have a meeting with Ajax at the end of this morning to come to a solution," read a statement from Nakhli Mondial, who represent Vertonghen, in Friday's De Telegraaf.
"There is some movement and we have the intention to come to an agreement."

CSIRO recently undertook a scientific literature review into the use and health impacts of e-cigarettes and personal vaporisers.
The review was commissioned by the Australian Government through the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science.
Smoking rates in Australia have been declining since 1945, with the most recent data indicating that 14 per cent of adults currently smoke.
On average, less than eight per cent of Australian's smoke e-cigarettes, and many of these users have only used them once or twice.
There is a lack of conclusive evidence that identifies the health impacts of e-cigarettes partly because the technology has not been in place long enough for long-term health studies to occur. The evidence that is available suggests that regular use of e-cigarettes is likely to have adverse health consequences, however the level and type of health effects, as well as the quantity of e-cigarette use required to trigger these impacts is not known.
More adolescents and young adults have tried e-cigarettes than any other age group and most adolescent users of e-cigarettes also smoke regular cigarettes.
It is likely that there are overall health benefits in replacing regular cigarette with e-cigarette use. However, the health effects are likely to differ according to what devices and fluids are used, how they are used, and who uses them. While many smokers and former smokers state a preference for e-cigarettes as a smoking cessation method, the effectiveness of this method compared with other smoking cessation methods is not known.

THE Duke of York visited the world's largest LDPE plant on Teesside yesterday.
During the visit to SABIC's Wilton facilities, the Duke was told about some of the challenges facing both the company and the chemical industry. He visited the plant's control room, meeting staff and unveiling a plaque to mark his visit.
The plant produces low-density polyethylene pellets that are used in the production of plastic bottles and for the plastic wrapping around everything from food to electrical goods. Providing work to 100 staff and contractors, the plant went online in 2009 with a production capacity of 400,000 tonnes per annum.
The Duke also chatted to SABIC's 'next generation' workers - operating technicians James Carr and Dan Hynes, Tees Valley Apprentices of the Year 2011 and 2012, LDPE graduate electrical engineer Stephen Hornsey, the 2011 Teesside University Student of the Year, and LDPE area maintenance manager Andrew Miller, winner of NEPIC's 2012 Young Achiever award.
Andrew Miller said later: "It was a great honour to meet him. He was very friendly and asked me about the role I play on the plant. He was very interested in what we are trying to do to improve the reliability of the plant. He asked some very knowledgeable questions and certainly has a good insight."
Stephen Hornsey said: "He was friendly and relaxed. He seemed very interested in the process and clearly had very good knowledge of the technical side of the industry. It was a real honour to meet him and represent my company."
Mosaed Al-Ohali, SABIC's Executive Vice-President Manufacturing, said: "It was an honour to welcome the Duke of York and to see his interest in our industry. We updated him on the developments, challenges and opportunities for SABIC."
Mark Williams, Site Director of the Teesside plants, said: "The last time His Royal Highness was here the LDPE plant was very much a building site so we were able to show him the outcome of all our hard work on what is the largest polymer plant of its type. Visits like this one are important not only to SABIC as a company but to the industry as a whole.
"The chemical industry doesn't always get the recognition and profile that it should, given the wealth and value that it generates for the country, so the visit from Prince Andrew helps to support the industry."
The Duke also met Maj Peter Scrope, the Deputy Lieutenant and High Sheriff of North Yorkshire, Redcar and Cleveland Mayor, Councillor Denise Bunn and the local authority's Chief Executive Amanda Skelton.

Beating summer's heat in the garden
By Urban Harvest
Although we have had a relatively mild spring, with our latest over 90 degree days and high humidity, it feels like summer is upon us. Many Houstonians believe the only way to flee the soaring mercury is to take shelter inside an air-conditioned structure.
For gardeners and those who need to be connected to the environment, this is a perfect setup for a bout with summertime �cabin fever.� Though our temperate climate provides pleasurable temperatures for most of the year, the summer months offer a challenge to how we enjoy our gardens and outdoor rooms.
To benefit from year round use of your garden space, incorporate elements that make it more user friendly. Here are a few ideas you might try.
Add Shade
Of course this is only common sense. If you want to stay away from the sun's heat block its rays. This can be done in two ways, planting trees or building a structure.
Trees not only provide a shady retreat in the garden, but if properly sited to screen your residence from the south and western sun angles, they also significantly reduce the utility costs for cooling it. Large, deciduous (so they can allow sun in winter) canopy trees are the best candidates for shading both garden and home.
Canopy trees tend to be slower growing trees, but there are three that outpace most others Mexican Sycamore (Platanus mexicana), Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) and Lacebark Elm (Ulmus parvifolia). Start with a 30-gallon tree and in two to three years, it will cast a fair amount of soothing shade.
Understory trees or large shrubs trained as trees are quicker to reach mature height and still supply considerable amounts of shade as they usually grow 15 to 25 feet tall. Sweet Bay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) and Chinese Fringe Tree (Chionanthus retusus) are spring flowering understory trees that work well in small urban gardens.
Training a large shrub into a small tree requires pruning to develop a trunk and branching system, but it is probably the fastest way of getting shade in the garden, especially if you start off with a 15 gallon plant. Typically we see Wax Ligustrum and Crape Myrtle as tree formed specimens, but Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus) or Almond Verbena (Aloysia virgata) are summer flowering shrubs that would be a welcome addition to any garden.
If you want to limit shade to the garden so that plantings such as prize winning roses or the prolific vegetable patch receive the sun they need, a shade structure may be an option. They can be simple or elaborate, depending upon your purpose and your budget.
A structure with a solid roof allows the installation of ceiling fans that not only create a cooling breeze, but also deter mosquitoes, which like calm conditions. Enclosing the structure with screening ensures a bug-free zone for garden enjoyment.
The structure can also be as simple as a few posts and beams that support utility panels (a farm fencing material). Any number of vines can be trained up the posts and over the panels to provide sanctuary from the summer sun.
Add Water
While adding water to the garden in our humid climate does not typically have the same physical cooling properties that it does in more arid climates, using water in the garden has a psychological cooling effect in our gardens.
The sound a water feature provides has a soothing quality. Water features range from gurgling bird baths to thundering fountains. Like any built element, they too can be simple or elaborate, depending upon your purpose and your budget.
Two ways water actually has physical cooling properties in Gulf Coast gardens are swimming pools and outdoor showers. While swimming pools may not be practical for most, it does not get any easier than an outdoor shower that hooks up to the garden hose. Many can be found online or through mail order catalogs.
Wait Until Dark
Average daytime temperatures for the summer months range from 91 to 94 degrees fahreinheit, but once the sun goes down, things begin to cool off nicely, with temperatures averaging 72 to 74 degrees. Equip your garden with elements that add nighttime interest.
Consider adding the outdoor lighting missing from the garden. Lighting allows usage of the garden after sunset, when summer temperatures are not only tolerable, but often pleasant. Moonlighting that is placed high in tree branches produces a soft wash over a large area and is best installed by lighting professionals.
However, low-voltage lighting can produce dramatic effects and is easily installed by a homeowner. Simply plug in the transformer, connect the electrical cable and snap the light fixtures onto the cable where desired. If the cable lies in a planting bed, simply cover it with mulch no need to dig. A variety of systems are available on line or at your local hardware store.
Finally, add plants to the garden that have an evening interest. Look for a place to plant some Four O'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa), Moonvine (Ipomoea alba) or Nightblooming Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum). Their late afternoon/evening fragrance provides another reason to spend more hours in the garden after dark.
Any plant flowering white will shine in the garden at night and there are a number of annuals, perennials and shrubs that would make excellent choices. Plants with a crisp white variegation to the leaf, such as Variegated Pinecone Ginger (Zingiber zerumbet "darecyi") or Variegated Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla "variegate") also add a sparkle to the evening garden.

Album Review: Gentleman's Dub Club - Lost In Space
by Gardy Stein
Damn, have I been waiting for this! Unknowingly, that is. I haven't counted the days until the release, no, but from the very moment I pressed play on their new album Lost In Space, I knew what's been missing in my life - Gentleman's Dub Club!
They are back with new music, and while I thought anything after The Big Smoke (2015) and Dubtopia (2017) would have a hard time outdoing its predecessors, Lost In Space adds a whole new dimension to the band's output.
The way the first song fights its way to audability through the sonic orbit of the intro already is a highlight. And then, starting this trip with Light The Fuse is a lit idea for several reasons. One, it's a steaming steppas track that you can't help but move to - a perfect warm-up for what's to come. Two, it introduces the special flavour of this release: pumping bass, bright horns and spherical sound bits and pieces that catapult you right into another realm filled with interstellar wonder. Three, the voice of singer Jonathan Scratchley is at its best, on point in its unique, clear articulation, hitting every note with the right amount of intensity. "Now we got nothing to lose!"
Stardust, the first single release, continues the foundation thus laid, and once you've seen the video, you won't be able to get rid of its vivid images. "I came here on the wings of a butterfly..."
Quiter notes are struck in Ground Shakin', a song dominated by a melodic chorus and the dialogue between a warm organ and, once more, those fantastic horns of theirs. "Surrender to a new tone!"
Up next, "let's get Out Of This World, into the night where there's black, there is gold" tries to lure a lover away from everyday life, making it a tender track that doesn't however quite reach the musical significance of the following. An ode to Mars, the instrumental God Of War gives plenty room to the skilled musicians of the band, uniting the solo parts of Kieren Gallagher (sax), Matt Roberts (trumpet & trombone), Luke Allwood (keys), Nick Tyson (guitar), Toby Davies (bass), Niall Lavelle (percussion), Tommy Evans (drums) and Harry Devenish (sound) to an exciting, organic whole.
The second single Turning Back (released in December 2018) is a collaboration with Swedish singer Million Stylez, a piece equally energetic as the first track. What a moment when diving into a different galaxy of sound at 3:22! "Ain't no turning back, you better know where you're going."
Eye Of The Storm, Intergalactic and Midnight Healing bring in the steppas flow once more that is so present in this release. "Feeling safe even in the chaos!"
Finishing off this ear-blowing trip with a beautiful Reggae scorcher, Walking Away features foundation artist Winston Francis aka King Cool, sporting the best fadeout I've heard in ages.
With Lost In Space, Gentleman's Dub Club deliver an opus that makes me wanna hop on a space shuttle right now, and we'll definitely encounter it among the contenders for the album of the year 2019!

Based on the powers vested in him by the Sports Act, he had taken the decision to ban Thilangs, who is a member of the Executive Committee, from engaging in the SLC administration.
Opposition for Thilanga from Piliyandala
The temporary ban was imposed as a result of a petition sent by the Piliyandala Sports Club which is affiliated to SLC.
This Sports Club had pointed out that based on the gazette issued recently by the Sports Minister Sumathipala cannot hold the post of Committee member of the Cricket Executive Committee.
Betters and gamblers cannot
The gazette issued by the Sports Minister specifies that anyone owning or engaging in betting or gambling or any family member of such a person is not suitable to hold any post. This has been included in the set of sports rules which accompanies the sports act.
Accordingly, a three member committee has been appointed headed by Sports Director General Dammika Muthugala to investigate if Thilanga could get involved in sports administrative functions and the Minister has asked for a report within a month, according to Sports Ministry sources.

Box to startups: use our platform, get funded
Startups: Box just gave you 40 million reasons to use its fire sharing and cloud management platform.
The newly public company is partnering with two venture capital firms, which will provide up to $40 million in funding to startups that build their services using Box's platform, CEO and cofounder Aaron Levie announced at the company's developer conference Wednesday.
At the event — the company's first since going public — Levie also revealed a slew of new developer tools, including Box Developer Edition, which will make it easier and faster for businesses to build apps on its platform.
Box Developer Edition is different from the company's previous developer programs in that it gives them more control over their content, according to Levie.
"This a fundamentally different way to build on the Box platform," he said during a press conference after Wednesday's announcement. "It's a developer-owned instance of Box, so they can store and manage all of the content on behalf of their application."
It will also help streamline the development process by providing Box's search, encryption and collaboration capabilities to developers, so they won't have to build out those features themselves, according to the company. Box Developer Edition is currently available as a limited beta, but it's currently unclear when it will be more widely available.
In addition, Box unveiled new ways for developers to manage their content within its platform. The company plans to introduce a new watermarking tool, which will help companies create custom watermarks for their content, and provide support for new types of medical images.
On the mobile side, Box announced that it was breaking up the functionality of its app into four separate components with four new software development kits (SDKs): preview, browse, share and content. The SDKs allow developers to choose which aspects of Box's service they want to take advantage of. The preview SDK, for example, provides developers with built-in support for more than 100 different file types with a single line of code.
Box, which went public earlier this year after a long-delayed IPO, likely hopes that the new tools will help accelerate growth and boost revenues, areas that have come under increasing scrutiny as the company has missed investor expectations since going public.
Startups stand to play an important role in this strategy, as Box looks to get more businesses using its platform; this is evident from its partnerships with Bessemer Venture Partners and Emergence Capital Partners, which have each committed $20 million to fund enterprise startups that use the company's tools.

With winter storm Nemo having just dumped an awful lot of snow on the Northeast, we figured it was a good time to release our Winter Driving for Medium-Duty Trucks lesson. (Of course, a better time would've been two months ago!) Medium-duty trucks are often called into extra service in the days before and after a big snow storm, as food and supplies fly off the shelves. And like the worried customers, drivers may themselves be distracted by thoughts of their own families. That means winter driving tips for medium-duty trucks will help keep their minds sharp and focused on the task.
If there's a sudden storm approaching, and when the leaves start to turn each autumn, you should assign this winter driving course for medium-duty trucks. There are many angles to this course beyond the obvious, "slow down!" Indeed, driver managers, dispatchers and maintenance people could stand to watch this course to know what your men and women on the road will face when flakes fly.
Winter Driving Tips for Medium-Duty Trucks
The course has three primary points over its 25 chapters. "Twenty-five chapters?" you're thinking. "Isn't that a lot?" It is, but there's a LOT to cover about driving in the winter.
- Winter pre-trip vehicle inspection
- Engine issues and fuel
- Driving tactics
Winter Pre-Trip Vehicle Inspections
Cold weather puts a lot of stress on the vehicle. A driver can put himself in a safer position by doing a quick check of the medium-duty truck before they head out. We cover specifics about the additional needs of air brakes, cleaning off lights and reflectors, potential dangers of the exhaust system, tires, and the fuel system and other liquid levels.
Medium-Duty Truck Engine that Won't Start
Sometimes the cold just makes it near impossible to get the engine started. But there are tips and techniques your driver can learn to put themselves in a good position. And if the engine still doesn't start, there are tips to troubleshoot the problem. For example, if when cranking the engine, you don't see vapor or smoke from the exhaust, then no fuel is getting to the starter. You should check the fuel and fuel lines.
Driving a Medium-Duty Truck on Snow and Ice
The truck is running and equipped for bad weather. The lesson covers tactics for dealing with poor visibility, slick traction and black ice, and braking and turning. The lesson also teaches drivers how to avoid skids, and what to do if they find themselves in one.
Finally, the winter driving tips for medium-duty trucks also covers things like using tire chains, and parking.

The Sackler's groundbreaking exhibitions are the focus of an article by Stephen Allee, Debra Diamond, Carol Huh and Ann Yonemura.
Also this month, Taiwan's Ching Wan Society is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Hsiung Yi-Ching recounts a history of the society, and our interview with president Thomas Pan provides insights into their collecting philosophy. Adele Schlombs introduces a special exhibition of treasures from the Palace Museum, Beijing at the Museum of East Asian Art, Cologne. Jorrit Britschgi pays tribute to Helmut Brinker, and Olaf Czaja reviews a new two-volume publication on Mongolian Buddhist art.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson is expected to play this weekend for the first time since fracturing his left forearm in a car accident back in September.
Burleson, who has missed Detroit's last seven games while recovering from surgery to repair the break, is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup at Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout put in a full practice for the second consecutive day on Friday.
The 32-year-old had amassed 19 catches for 239 yards in three games prior to the injury, which occurred when he struck the median on Interstate 696 after being distracted when a slice of pizza fell off his passenger seat on Sept. 24.
Burleson is one of three starters the Lions expect to have back for Sunday's clash with the Buccaneers, as defensive end Ezekial Ansah (ankle) and cornerback Bill Bentley (knee) have also been declared probable. Both players have missed the team's past two outings after getting hurt in Detroit's 31-30 win over Dallas in Week 8.
Running back Joique Bell and safety Glover Quin are each questionable for Sunday's tilt after each was forced to leave last week's game at Pittsburgh. Bell, Detroit's second-leading rusher, strained his Achilles tendon during the fourth quarter and Quin hurt his ankle late in the contest.
Bell was a full participant in Friday's practice, while Quin was limited for a second straight day.

Installing A Car Seat In A Pinch
Stephanie Briones, Guest Blogger
Mommy confession time. Up until a year ago, I had never installed a car seat by myself. Basically for five years, I always had my car seats professionally installed or relied on one of the men in my life to make sure the car seat was secured properly. I avoided carpools where I had to remove my seats, I cringed at the thought of needing a rental car, and the thought of letting one of my kids go on a field trip in another parent's car terrified me. That was until the day I entrusted my car (and car seats) to an overzealous car wash attendant and was forced to face my fears and quickly learn how to install those seats.
The car wash attendant met me and my three kids at the check out counter with those dreaded words, "We have a little problem." As I looked over at my parked car, I noticed my car seats sitting off to the side. He went on to explain that he had wanted to clean under the seats, so he removed them, but then couldn't figure out how to get them back in.
I tried to play it cool, but how was I going to get my kids home safely? I had to learn fast. If you find yourself in a similar situation, take a breath, remind yourself that you are a super mom (or dad) and keep in mind the basics:
1. Read your car seat manual or visit your car seat manufacturer's website.
The very first thing you should do is look for the little booklet that comes with your car seat. It is often attached under the fabric of the car seat. If you cannot find it or do not have it with you, you can visit the your car seat manufacturer's website. They will give you accurate step-by-step instructions on how to install your specific car seat using either the seat belt or LATCH system (both of which are equally as safe if used correctly!).
2. Get familiar with the LATCH system in your car.
This stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for Children and makes the installation of car seats easier to get right. This system allows you to snap the car seat into hooks built into your vehicle. Note, most cars do not have LATCH in the middle seating position, so if you are installing your car seat in the middle, you will need to use the seat belt. Please keep in mind that LATCH has a weight limit of 65 pounds! This includes the weight of both the car seat and the kiddo. Nearly every car seat and vehicle manufactured after September 1, 2002 are required to have the LATCH system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website (www.nhtsa.gov) has step-by-step instructions and video tutorials on how to install just about every type of car seat using either the LATCH system or the seat belt.
3. Go to a car seat inspection station to check your work.
If you want peace of mind, stop by Tot Squad or another car seat inspection center and have a certified child passenger safety technician check your work. This is very important to do as up to 90% of car seats are improperly installed.
These are the steps I took on that day and I was able to get all my precious cargo safely home that day in a sparkling clean car. Of course I wish I would have acquainted myself with how to safely install my car seats BEFORE I was faced with that stressful situation. A business like Tot Squad not only offers professional installation by trained specialists, but also education for parents and caregivers on how to install your car seat correctly. A car seat installation lesson now can help you be prepared if you ever find yourself in a situation like mine.
So now bring on those overzealous car wash attendants, carpools, rental cars and field trips...I am ready for it!!

STEVE Yates is urging his fellow Tranmere Rovers players to support the Professional Footballers Association call for strike action in the dispute with the Premier League and Football League over TV revenue.
Yates, the PFA representative at Prenton Park, believes players should defend the right of the union to be funded from a five per cent share of the #1.5billion football earns from TV contracts that kicked in this season.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor will be balloting members on strike action this month and is confident he has the support of an overwhelming majority of players.
Yates insists the players will not be voting to line their own pockets in the dispute. Instead, he says, the money at issue would be used to support the majority who have not made a handsome living from football and others who face genuine hardship.
Says Yates: "I would like to think the players at Tranmere will support the PFA and the important work they do.
"A lot of deliberately misleading comments have been made in some quarters about players who earn millions of pounds a year going on strike to take more money for themselves.
"That's not the case. Current players would see very little of the money the PFA is trying to secure. The union uses it to help with the education of youngsters, the retraining of the majority who don't enjoy a prolonged career in the game and former players who have to cope with health problems caused by football injuries and wear and tear.
"People don't realise that only a small percentage of footballers earn a lot of money from the game. Most don't even make a career of it.
"Around 75 per cent of the 17-year-old scholarship players at league clubs are out of the game by the time they reach 23.
"They all have to make a new start in life and it is the PFA that pays for their retraining and education.
"The cost of medical treatment for former players can be very high. Many older exprofessionals require operations to help their mobility.
"They might have to wait years for NHS treatment but the PFA can help them out with private care."
Strike action, should it be taken, is expected to affect only games due to be televised.
Industrial action is still some weeks off and there is no threat to Tranmere's fixture against Blackpool tomorrow, which is being shown on ITV Sport.
Previous TV contracts provided for the PFA to receive five per cent of the total revenue, which in this case would total almost #27m.
The league have so far not moved very far from their opening offer of #5.2m, a reduction of #2.3m on the previous deal.
Yates says: "The figure the league are offering is less than last year's. When you consider how much TV money the league will be receiving, that can't be a good deal for us."

José Auriemo Neto has been in the field of real estate for many years now, but despite that fact, he has never shown any signs of getting tired of his professional career. If anything, it would seem as though he is moving full-steam ahead even in spite of all the issues he faces regularly. There are many aspects of life that are simply difficult to deal with, and José Auriemo says that it is necessary to understand this. In life, there is joy and there is pain, and we have all gone through periods of both. Because of this, he believes that we should be more sympathetic towards the issues other people are going through.
In many cases, these issues are some of the same ones we face ourselves. For this reason, it is not a bad idea to make sure that we communicate with other people when we are stuck in life. José Auriemo Neto finds great value in asking those he deems wiser than himself for advice on how to run his own company. The fact of the matter is that nobody is perfect, and we all face situations where our abilities are put into question. When this happens, it is okay to ask for help; in fact, it is only natural to do so. To not ask for help when you need it would be counter-intuitive towards your humanity, and José Auriemo Neto believes this with every ounce of his being.
It is for this reason that he works so hard to make sure that JHSF is working in peak condition at all times. He wants to make sure that all of his employees are having an experience that will be sure to help them out in the future, even if they future is not with his own company. JHSF is the Brazilian real estate company that José Auriemo Neto founded when he was young and has been able to keep going for many years. It is due to the fact that he possesses such a wealth of his extensive knowledge about the people he works for that he is able to deliver exactly what they need.

price tension
Tug of war between buyers and sellers concerning the price of an asset. The greater the price tension, the larger the gap between the price a seller asks and the price a buyer is willing to pay. In the securities market, the strength of price tension determines the spread between bid and ask prices. Strong price tension creates a wide spread between bid and ask.

In order for speech to occur, messages need to go from your brain to your mouth. These messages tell the muscles how and when to move to make sounds. When a child has apraxia of speech, the messages do not get through correctly. The child might not be able to move their lips or tongue in the right ways, even though their muscles are not weak. Sometimes, the child might not be able to say much at all.
A child with CAS knows what they want to say. The problem is not how the child thinks but how the brain tells the mouth muscles to move.
CAS is sometimes called verbal dyspraxia or developmental apraxia. Even though the word "developmental" is used, CAS is not a problem that children outgrow. A child with CAS will not learn speech sounds in typical order and will not make progress without treatment. It can take a lot of work, but the child's speech can improve.
Not all children with CAS are the same. Your child may show some or all of the signs below. You should talk to your doctor and see an SLP if your child is older than 3 years and
Children with CAS may have other problems, including
Most of the time, the cause of CAS is unknown. In some cases, damage to the brain causes CAS. Damage may be caused by a genetic disorder or syndrome, or by a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
An SLP can test your child's speech and language skills. Many children with speech sound disorders also have language disorders. Find an ASHA-certified SLP in your area by using ASHA ProFind .
To test for CAS, the SLP will look at your child's oral–motor skills, speech melody (intonation), and how they says different sounds. To test how your child says sounds, the SLP will
You should also talk to your doctor, who can check for any medical problems. It is important to have your child's hearing checked by an audiologist. A child with a hearing loss may have more trouble learning to talk.
A child with CAS should work with an SLP. Your child may begin with therapy 3–5 times per week. As speech improves, treatment may be less often. Individual or group therapy may be appropriate at different stages of treatment.
See ASHA's information for professionals on the Practice Portal's Childhood Apraxia of Speech page.
The goal of treatment is to help your child say sounds, words, and sentences more clearly. Your child will learn how to
Doing exercises to make the mouth muscles stronger will not help. Mouth muscles are not weak in children with CAS. Working on how to move those muscles to say sounds will help.
Your child must practice speaking to get better at it. It helps to use all the senses when learning how to say sounds. Your child may use
In order to communicate, your child may learn sign language or may learn to use picture boards or computers that talk. This is called augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Some parents are afraid that their child will only want to use AAC systems and not try to talk. There is no evidence to support this idea. AAC systems support communication and help your child as they work on their speech with the SLP.
CAS treatment takes time, and your child will need your support. Practice what your child learns with the SLP to help them make progress. Take breaks when your child is tired and make practice as much fun as possible. Tell your child's SLP what happens at home so you can all work together to help your child succeed.

North Vancouver Chiropractor Active Release Technique Reduces Soft Tissue Injuries!
[push h="20″]
The Right Chiropractor – North Vancouver Chiropractor Expert Gives Candid Conversation
As a North Vancouver Chiropractor there has been many experiences that has given me the tools to create a North Vancouver Chiropractic Clinic that gives patients results. It may seem odd to talk about creating results as a clinic, but to be honest there a lot of Pain Management Clinics that focus on profits rather than results. After having a candid conversation with a patient who asked me what my goals were for the next 5 years I answered him rather oddly. His expectations of me were to give him a benchmark number of patients and revenue goals that I would reach. Rather, without hesitation I told my patient that my 5 year goal was to help as many patients get out of pain and increase their mobility. After many years in practice and many years on this planet I have gained a lot of insight about the important of relationships and how they might be the reason we are here.
[push h="20″]
Relationships between each other are the most powerful change one can make in his life. Having the influence to change another persons life in a positive way can change not only yourself but a lot of people. I find it my duty to help other people learn how to safely reduced low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, leg pain, sciatica, wrist pain and all other conditions without drugs or surgery. As a North Vancouver Chiropractor it has become my mission to transfer as much knowledge to the community as possible. In some circumstances it means you put patients before profit and become the persons health advocate. Giving information on how they can navigate their condition even if it means you are not in the equation. Without getting to Spiritual or Religious it seems the energy we put into others will always be remembered once we are gone. Our memories will live on forever. Whatever you believe in whether Christianity or Judaism or whether you are just spiritual and have your own beliefs this can apply to your own personal faith.
[push h="20″]
Healthy relationships can help reduce pain and suffering. By improving relationships in your life you can help acute or chronic conditions and reduce the stress to the body. But there is no substitute for your North Vancouver Chiropractor.
Therefore, we must also learn and create new adventures to be able to help others in the journey we spoke of earlier. One of my greatest adventures has been going to an Active Release Technique Seminar in San Francisco. The truth is I had a great advantage going to Active Release Technique as I was almost a graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College in San Jose and had taken an incredible healing massage course at Just for your Health massage school in Willow Glen, San Jose. Having a 100 hour massage course certification allowed me to connect and understand the layering of muscles better. Therefore, when I took the 3 day seminar I was able to excel at Active Release Technique. The education and experience I received at the course was mind blowing. How was I so fortunate to learn so many incredible protocols for fixing upper extremity conditions. The course was the first major step in my journey to becoming a North Vancouver Chiropractor.

The amount of joy and health are in your personal journey is endless. Let your story speak for you. Allow your body to heal from any injury you may have had. Call your North Vancouver Chiropractor for pain relief today!
Along my journey there has been many people who have had a misconception regarding Chiropractic care. My good friend in California was a Silicon Valley executive with a PH.D from Stanford, who always had some doubt about Chiropractors ability to create results. It was evident after visiting them this year and them requesting my shoulder protocol to improve and restore range of motion to their shoulders. They told me they kept asking their Physical Therapist at a prominent hospital to do the same technique I did, as the physical therapist was not able to help their shoulder. After one long treatment, I was able to restore full range of motion to their shoulder joint. That mean full abduction to the shoulder, which is 180 degrees without an pain or stiffness. It had seemed I had gained their complete trust and confidence that Chiropractic has the tools and ability to truly change lives for the better. Now my friend goes to their hospital and Physical therapist and educates them on what I do so that they can learn this new technique and help others as well.
Therefore, my title of this blog was North Vancouver Chiropractor Active Release Technique Reduces Soft Tissue Injuries. The headline should be a catchy title and hopefully have some influence over one patient that is suffering from pain and limited range of motion. All it takes is an idea or a realization that there is a solution to your condition. Maybe a Eureka moment will occur and a conversation with staff or practitioners at Vancity Pro Chiropractic Corp. will ensue. At our North Vancouver office our North Vancouver Chiropractic Team will help you with any low back, neck pain, arm pain, wrist pain, elbow pain, low back pain, sciatica, headaches or any other issues.

The Chevrolet Spin is coming very soon, and it seems Chevy Philippines conducted a fuel economy test of the diesel variant of the Spin.
Driven by the guys at Roadwise and observed by the Automobile Association Philippines, the Spin LTZ with the 75 PS, 190 Nm 1.3L turbodiesel and the manual transmission completed a 119 kilometer run on the NLEX and SCTEX and yielded a consumption of just 3.4 liters.
After a quick check, the Spin LTZ diesel achieved a 35 kilometer per liter fuel economy figure. Driving styles and conditions will vary, but that benchmark run has set the bar quite high. The Spin (seen here) was being driven by rally driver Vip Isada of Roadwise.
During our test drive of the 1.5L gasoline-powered Chevrolet Spin LTZ A/T variants from Bangkok to Rayong, Thailand last month, the compact MPV was doing 14.9 kilometers to the liter at an average speed of 87.4 km/h.
The Spin will be launched soon, and will be the only compact MPV to have a diesel engine. The Spin LTZ 1.3L Diesel M/T will have an introductory price of PhP 798,888.

Most drivers don't exactly know what a wheel bearing is, and most of us don't know how to spot wheel bearing noise in car. So if your mechanic tells you that the wheel bearing has to be replaced, you have no other choice but to replace it.
Here, you will learn what a wheel bearing is, what function it performs, and how to diagnose wheel bearing noise in car. The idea is to enable you to easily recognize next time when wheel bearing makes noise in the car. So let's get started.
What is a Wheel Bearing?
In simple words, a bearing is a metallic ring that helps your car's wheel rotate smoothly and with minimal friction. Though the shape and the type of the bearing may differ from vehicle to vehicle but their purpose always remain the same – to help rotate the wheel.
The wheel bearing is installed in the hub where it fits nicely so that it can perform its function of spinning the wheel. Over time, wheel bearings lose their strength and become weak. As they get weak, they make noise and this is where you have to figure it out, and replace them.
What Damages a Wheel Bearing?
It is destroyed by water and excessive heat. Though all the bearings are properly sealed, wear and tear eventually damages the seal. When a seal is damaged, water and debris enter the bearing and it fails to perform its function. When a bearing fails, it makes noise.
Tips to Diagnose Wheel Bearing Noise
Initially, the noise will be too quiet to hear. You will not be able to notice it, but within a few weeks, the noise will get louder. Soon, you will hear a constant noise throughout the journey.
Let's be clear on this, the wheel bearing noise in your car is one of the hardest to diagnose. Why? Because you have to drive the car to hear the noise. When the car stops, the noise stops.
There are, however, a few ways to diagnose the wheel bearing noise in your car.
1) Listen While Driving
When you are in the driving seat, listen closely. Do you hear a rotating sound that is rhythmic and increases with the speed? Does it gets louder and then disappears at certain speeds? If so, you probably have noise from a wheel bearing.
2) Testing on a Lift
With another person in the vehicle, get your car on a lift and have them run it at a decent speed. Listen to the noise from all the wheels. You will be able to point which wheel bearing are making noise. Don't attempt this without the right setup or experience.
3) Sway Test
This is a pro method where you have to drive your car at 50 mph and sway your car to the right and then to left, and so on. Do it slowly. If the rhythmic sound shifts from left to right, your car has a wheel bearing issue.
To spot the exact wheel which has the issue, listen closely when you sway car to the left if noise decreases the issue is on the right side. If the noise decreases when you sway to the right, one of the wheel bearings on the left side has failed.
Once you have spotted that one or more wheel bearings are making noise, the only solution is to replace the damaged ones, and your ride will become noiseless once again.

Hearing tests are an important assessment to evaluate your current level of hearing. This helps decide if any treatment, such as the use of hearing aids, would be recommended to improve the quality of hearing.
Hearing tests are carried out in a soundproof environment and are used to determine how you interpret different sounds. This can help ensure you get the treatment and care required for your specific circumstances. As discussed frequently on this hearing blog, there are many different reasons someone may experience hearing loss so it's important you understand why your hearing is impaired.
Hearing tests and assessments can be used by everyone, and as we get older, it's recommended to have them more frequently. A big part of hearing tests is the use of audiograms. But what exactly are audiograms and why are they important?
What are Audiograms?
An audiogram is a graph that details how you interpret sound. This helps show how you hear different frequencies at different volumes. This can help translate what that means for your day-to-day hearing. A qualified health professional may use various hearing assessments to test your hearing and often plot the results as an audiogram.
The premise of an audiogram is to show how well you can hear different sound frequencies. Health professionals use the term "hearing threshold" to describe the point at which a sound frequency becomes inaudible. A hearing threshold of between 0 and 25 dB is considered normal. This means an audiogram that shows hearing thresholds below this may indicate a degree of hearing impairment.
Based on what the audiogram looks like, it can help diagnose the extent of your hearing impairment and help illustrate how significant it is.
When we offer hearing assessments here at Hearing Solutions UK, we ensure we go through the audiogram with our patients as detailed as possible, so they fully understand what the results mean. For the best management of hearing impairment and any other health condition, it's always best the patient fully understands and is engaged with what the results mean and subsequent course of treatment. If you'd like to learn more about our hearing assessments, get in touch today and one of our friendly staff will help you get started.
Interpreting Audiogram Results
The frequency of a sound is expressed as cycles per second, also known as Hertz. This relates to the "pitch" of a sound. This is why different noises and sounds are interpreted by us differently, as they have different pitches.
Low frequency sounds include things like thunder, or a rumble, or a deep voice. High frequency sounds include things like a whistle, squeak or a bird's calling.
Each frequency is tested at varying volumes, known as decibels (dB). Normal hearing is when the softest sounds (just before you can't hear the sound anymore) is between 0-20dB. Mild hearing loss is between 21-40dB. This type of hearing loss may mean you struggle following conversations in loud environments. 41-70dB is associated with quite moderate hearing loss. This may mean you struggle to interpret speech. Between 71-95dB is considered severe hearing loss and is likely to mean you can't hear speech, even in quiet surroundings. Anything over 95dB is regarded as profound hearing loss and means you are unlikely to hear most sounds, unless they are very loud.
What an Audiogram Looks Like
An audiogram usually plots the volume on the vertical axis, which is measured in decibels. The loudest sounds are at the bottom and the softest near the top. This means those will good hearing will have an audiogram with a line plotted closer to the top of the graph, compared to someone with hearing impairment who may have a line plotted closer to the middle/bottom of the graph.
The horizontal line represents the sound frequency, or pitch, which is measured in Hertz (Hz). Usually low pitch sounds are on the left, and high pitch sounds on the right. Hearing impairment may not impact all frequency sounds, which is why plotting the horizontal line is so important in hearing assessments. It may be a case that your hearing loss impacts high or low frequency sounds more. An audiogram is great at being able to visualise and illustrate this to help understand how your hearing will relate to everyday activities and sounds.
Both ears are usually tested separately and if plotted on the same graph, red is usually used for right ear, and blue for the left ear.
Importance of Hearing Tests and Audiograms
Having a clear presentation of how you responded to different sounds frequencies at different volumes is the best way to understand the degree of any hearing impairment. Often hearing aids can work wonders at helping amplify and improve hearing. It may be a case that you're currently getting by without enjoying the full spectrum of sound and may not be using a simple solution like a hearing aid to improve your hearing.
Our blog on cookie bite hearing loss is a great example of how an audiogram can help illustrate a specific type of hearing impairment, which may otherwise be hard to interpret on your own. Gradual hearing loss is also something that can be hard for patients to recognise as the impairment happens so gradually, but can result in significant impairment of hearing.

After they were cooked I topped with butter, syrup and sliced strawberries. Yummy! If you haven't already tried this mix, I highly recommend it. ㋡

Kids should be kids. That's what I think.
But while I'm neither an advocate for structured play nor flash card learning, I do think there is value in everyone and anyone setting specific life goals. And just like I think every adult should have a list of things to do before they die — a bucket list, some might call it — so too every child should have a parental-supported list of things to do before they leave the age of innocence and become a teenager.
100 Things?
I have a few suggestions. I used to host this list on another blog, but while it's a blog I don't really maintain anymore I wanted to put the list back up here, somewhere. So… here it is.
Some items are more time consuming and resource-intensive than others. Some might take years and form the basis for habits and hobbies well into the future, while others might be afternoon activities or brief experiences — just to say you did them kind-of-things. Pick, choose, and sort on your own interest or ability. Not everybody can or will want to do everything here… but if you do accomplish them all and keep track of it (see item number 21), let me know.
I've grouped items loosely on themes, but there is no real order. Enjoy!

This is going to be a rhetoric post, I just need to get some clarifications on this:
It's going to be a comparison between marriage in the '40s-80's and the marriages in the '20's. I am going to start this with a quick intro about what I learned from my folks about their marriage…it's a vague note tho…I was told when I was much younger, there might be a few mix up.
…so I learnt my maternal granny was the arranger…as well as my aunt (momc was her classmates or schoolmate- can't remember which and I don't wanna ask). She mentioned mom to granny who got to like mom and then told mom she has a single son in Lagos and would like mom to be wiffy! And just like that, momc started visiting granny and assisting her with house chores and before you know it they have 5kids already! Their marriage has hit the rock times without number, they've had disagreement, quarrels and fight but in spite of all these, they are still together for like thirty years now (I can't believe I'm not sure about that sef, I would confirm. *please don't judge me*)
Let's race back to today's marriage and courting:
My mom can't decide who I will marry
Daddy, you have no right to choose for me
I love her and I'm going to marry her
She cheated on me and I can't take her back
She's not half as beautiful as the woman I wish to marry
He was delaying me and I want to get married this year
How can I even love someone I haven't met before
She slept with my best friend before I met her, I'm sorry I can't marry her
Her mom is Edo, she'd be very stubborn
Oh he's from Ijebu, they can be very stingy
She's an Ibadan girl, they lack respect
He smokes, I can't cope with him
At least, we should have sex before marriage. What if he/she cannot 'do'?
These and many more are making quite a number of people still single even at forty and a lot of these have wrecked many homes. Many couples today cannot even sustain a 2-weeks relationship much more a year old marriage. Divorce has now become a regular thing. 'I couldn't cope with the marriage, I just have to let go', 'He wasn't who I thought he was'…what happened to the seven years you both spent in knowing each other???
Most relationships in the 20th century were arranged, supervised and controlled and they turn out to be the best. Divorce was a sacred action in the past. Or could it be that we have more patient women back then? Or our parents are not as bold to walk out of their marriage like the parents of now? I am not saying there were no divorce at all back then but it is clearly not as prevalent as today.
Some will say it's too much exposure. But whatever it is, I still don't understand what happen to marriages now? Why can't we have beautiful homes like that of our parents? Why?
Thanks for reading. Please drop a comment on your view to this in the box below…
