Richard P. Healy, an environmental engineer whose career with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency spanned more than three decades, died Saturday of esophageal cancer at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center.
The longtime Hamilton resident was 61.
"Rich was a wonderful guy and a team leader for our beach team. He has been in that position since 2002, which oversees grants to coastal Great Lakes states, which helps them with beach monitoring and advising about contamination such as sewage," said John B. Wathen, who is the assistant chief of the EPA's Fish, Shellfish, Beaches and Outreach Branch.
"The program is spread across 35 states and three territories. The grants are used to access water quality, which results in green- or red-flag days," said Mr. Wathen. "He worked with all of those states and territories. It is a national program ... and Rich was very successful in becoming a team leader."
The son of Lewis Healy, an engineer, and Dorothy Healy, a secretary, Richard Philip Healy was born in Baltimore and raised in Cub Hill.
After graduating in 1970 from Perry Hall High School, he earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics and biology in 1974 from what is now McDaniel College.
He earned a master's degree in civil engineering and a doctorate in environmental engineering in 1979 from the University of Maryland, College Park.
Dr. Healy spent his entire 34-year career with the Environmental Protection Agency at its headquarters in Washington, where he started working in fish contamination studies in 1980.
"The final project he worked on was the Beach Project that funded states with money to keep their beaches clean," said a daughter, Charlotte L. Healy of Washington.
Dr. Healy worked on programs, policies and regulations.
"Rich would lead those calls and was widely recognized throughout EPA as well as with the states and our local partners," said Mr. Wathen. "Even though he was working from home in recent weeks, he continued to be productive and he'd be included in conference calls, which were always followed by a flurry of emails going back and forth."
"My dad fought an unbelievable battle with cancer during the last 10 months," Ms. Healy said. "Sadly, his condition declined this month. He required more rest time but was still able to spend great quality moments with us.
"In fact, the four of us celebrated my big sister Rose's birthday at Woodberry Kitchen last Thursday. The next day, he was admitted to the hospital, and he died Saturday morning," she said.
In 2010, Ms. Healy and her sister, Rose J. Healy, of Hamilton, decided to enter their father in Fox 45's Baltimore's Best Dad competition.
When one of his daughters returned home from their fourth-grade trip to Williamsburg, Va., she accidentally threw away her disposable camera's film roll in the trash, and was upset and crying that she would be unable to share her pictures with her family.
Dr. Healy spent the next four hours rummaging through trash bins until he found the film.
"This perfectly portrays my dad's incredible kind nature. He stops at nothing to see my family happy — and even searches trash cans," the sisters wrote in their submission. "He definitely deserves recognition as Baltimore's Best Dad."
"He won the competition by a landslide," said Charlotte Healy.
The prize included four free Southwest Airline tickets to anywhere in the U.S., which they used to travel to San Francisco to celebrate Rose Healy's graduation from Dickinson College in 2010.
Last year, Dr. Healy attended the Boston Marathon to cheer on his daughter, Charlotte. (They were not near the finish line when the bombs exploded.)
"He was always very supportive of my running from the very beginning," she said. "I will be running the Boston Marathon in less than a month, this time in honor of my dad."
Dr. Healy and his wife of 27 years, the former Marilyn Bennett, a doctor and neonatologist at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, enjoyed collecting antiques and stained glass, which they used to illuminate and decorate their Hamilton home.
"But his real hobby was his family and seeing them happy," said Charlotte Healy. "He drew his energy from his family."
His daughter said a special spot for Dr. Healy was the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens in Druid Hill Park, where funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Monday. The conservatory is at 3100 Swann Drive.
"While there have been memorial services held there, this is the first funeral to be held there with a casket since it opened in 1888," Charlotte Healy said.
In addition to his wife and two daughters, Mr. Healy is survived by two brothers, David Healy of Parkville and Jerry Healy of Clayton, Del.; a sister, Peggy Buckless of Perry Hall; and many nieces and nephews.

The past two weeks have been odd for my sketchbook.
I attempted to redesign one of my older character designs from a year ago a week ago thanks to a dapper guy I saw on the train. Hint: redesign on the right.
Two minor characters I created two years ago may actually become major ones since I love drawing them!
I decided to draw one of my animated alter egos, Yakko Warner from the Animaniacs!
And lastly, I saw The Great Gatsby that made me want to study Mr. Leonardo Dicaprio.

Quality Dog Training In & Around East Grinstead
Are you experiencing any of the following?
- Your dog pulls on the lead and drags you down the street
- Your dog is great at home but barks and lunges at other dogs on the walk
- Do you have a puppy that bites you, jumps up, and isn't properly toilet-trained yet?
- Do you wish your dog would just listen to you? Even around distractions!
Wouldn't you rather have a dog you can trust, so that they can have more freedom in and out of the house?
It doesn't matter whether you have a dog with current behaviour problems or a puppy you need to train, we can help.
Would you like a dog that:
- Walks nicely by your side, on a loose-lead, around dogs and other distractions
- Greets guests politely and doesn't barge through doorways
- Is well-mannered around the home & family
- Comes when called, first time
- Listens to you and what you want, even around distractions!
Get in touch right now to find out how we can help you.
Aggression Towards Other Dogs
Is it driving you crazy that you can't go for a walk without your dog barking & lunging at every other dog you see? Wouldn't you like to be able to go for a nice, relaxed walk, on a loose lead? It's possible! Because we see this a lot, we have plenty of experience in turning your nightmare walk into the walk of your dreams.
Chewing And Destruction
Does your dog destroy everything when you leave the house? Would you like to be able to trust your dog home alone and not return to what looks like a crime scene? Whether you have a puppy chewing or an adult dog with major destructive behaviour we can come over, work out why it's happening and how to fix it.
Selective Hearing
Does your dog only listen to you when it suits them? Wouldn't it be nice to have a dog that listens to you? Every time. Even in the park. We can help you better understand canine psychology and how dogs learn, so your best friend will choose to pay attention to you, even around distractions.
Puppy Problems
Do you have a new puppy that is cute but exasperating?! Toilet training, chewing, nipping, jumping, separation anxiety… the list goes on! Would you benefit from programs that make all of it much easier? We can help show you how to raise your puppy the right way, so they grow into a happy, confident adult dog.
Great Support & Knowledge
After re-homing a 5 month delightful Cocker Spaniel we contacted Martin to help and support us with a few issues that she came with. Martin's vast knowledge and insight was a great help to us and even after a couple of sessions we can see a great benefit to her behaviour and she certainly is turning into a well behaved and balanced puppy. Thank you Martin for all your help and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend you, or call you up in future!

In Home Lessons – We Come To You
If you're in or around the East Grinstead area then you can book lessons at your home to suit you. This initially allows your dog to work in a less distracting environment, but as training progresses we can train at other local & convenient locations.
Proven Formula For Success
It's important to us that you get the results you're after and we have a variety of programs designed to achieve you goals. By working together, you and your dog can create a partnership for success.

The first step toward developing a big-picture outlook in reading tablature is to recognize chord shapes. This starts with open-position chords, as shown in Example 2. Now, it's one thing to be able to recognize a chord when it's all nicely lined up, but guitar music, especially acoustic guitar music, often uses arpeggios and different fingerpicking patterns.

Environmental Planning allows development to be carried out with due consideration given to the natural environmental, social, political, economic and governance factors. At Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority we engage in short term and long term planning daily and administer several programs with respect to development review within the watershed, under the Conservation Authorities Act:
1. Advisory Program (advising municipalities)
2. Regulations (issuing permits for work in regulated areas)
3. Technical Report Review (professional review of technical documents for large scale and complex development)
How does the environmental planning we do at MVCA affect you as a Waterfront Property Owner?
Landowners with property on or near the shoreline of a lake, river or stream may require a permit if they wish to develop their lots under the MVCA Ontario Regulation 153/06 known as Development, Interference with Wetlands and alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses. This regulation is designed to control or prevent potential problems caused by inappropriate land development.
Permits are required for:
- New construction, reconstruction;
- Additions or alterations to existing buildings or structures;
- Site grading, including placing, dumping or removal of fill or other material;
- Straightening, changing or diverting or interfering with an existing channel of a river, creek, stream, watercourse or shoreline; or
- Changing or interfering with a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) *including lands within 120 m of the wetland boundary.
We encourage property owners to contact our environmental planners before beginning any work. Completing work that is not permitted can lead to removal of the work and restoration of the land affected or fines.
Click here to get started. At any point in the process feel free to call MVCA and speak directly with staff at (613) 253.0006.
If your application cannot be approved in its current form, MVCA will make recommendations to help future construction on your property so that it:
- Protects your home or business from natural hazards, like flooding and erosion
- Preserves the diverse habitats and wildlife, and natural heritage features of the Mississippi Valley
- Supports source water protection best practices
How MVCA Stewardship Services help you and your shoreline
At MVCA we believe in providing in the ground assistance and advise so that you can successfully manage your land now to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. We currently offer these advisory services:
1. Plant Your Land (FREE shoreline planting and rehabilitation service)
2. Land Resource Management Advice (FREE best management practices for sustainable land uses)
3. Rural Clean Water Funding (grants to upgrade your well in the rural communities of the City of Ottawa)
Our experienced staff is available for on site consultation, phone, and email inquires and office visits. Our free information resources and advice are accessible to all landowners within the Mississippi Valley and Carp River watershed regions.

By the Media for Peace
The journalistic profession is vital to the life of any nation.
It is the journalist's job to tell the people what is happening in the country. By doing so, he or she guides the people in making decisions concerning the fate of the nation.
It follows thus that a free press is indispensable in the survival of any democracy.
But is there a free press to speak of when journalists live every moment of their lives in danger of death, for simply doing their jobs? Philippine history is replete with instances where journalists were murdered because there were those who did not want the truth to come out.
The recent spate of killings of Filipino journalists has made the Philippines as dangerous for journalists as Colombia. Six Filipino journalists have been killed in the Philippines in 2003 alone, a total of 13 under the Macapagal-Arroyo government which has oft claimed to have the highest respect for freedom of the press —a right enshrined in the Philippine Constitution and part of international human rights laws and principles.
Thus in less than three years, the Macapagal-Arroyo government has done a lot worse to journalists than both the Ramos and Estrada presidencies. In less than three years it has come dangerously close to approximating the number of media killings under the Aquino government.
Meanwhile, the names of Henry Romero and Alex Orcullo come to the minds of Filipino journalists whenever martial law is mentioned. They are but two of numerous journalists killed under the brutal hand of the Marcos dictatorship. But 17 years after Marcos' ouster, media killings continue at levels as alarming as during the days of the dictatorship. No less than 49 journalists have been killed in the Philippines since 1986.
Under present circumstances, it is an exercise in futility, if not inanity, to talk about freedom of the press. Press freedom in the Philippines is as dead as the corpses of Benjaline Hernandez and Edgar Damalerio, two of the most shocking cases of media killings under the Macapagal-Arroyo government.
They were right, those who said that press freedom belongs not only to the members of the press but also to the people. The press, by informing the people, greatly influences the decisions they make in the determination of their collective destiny. The existence of a truly free press, thus, is in the ultimate interest of the people.
We enjoin our colleagues in the media to collectively or individually act in protest against the killings of Filipino journalists. We urge the people to defend their right to a free and independent press.

No need to stop with just one day of fabulousness as the Black Enterprise Women in Power Summit. And to kick off the first full day of the summit they found the perfect way to continue on the tremendous energy of night one. Yes, they brought back the speaker responsible for the fire at the end of the night of course! Day 2 of the Black Enterprise summit started off early with can't miss segment with the phenomenal Donna Brazile. Yes we were again pulling ourselves up by our vaginas and getting ready for a big dose of real with Ms. Donna. With a pinpointed focus on where we can go and grow to next as a community Donna Brazile offered strong words in where we go from where we are now. Simply put she works both in the present and in the future, wanting the community to learn from leaders of today while also looking for the leaders of the future. That often means learning the game over and over again to avoid being left behind. Issues like being smart about cyber hygiene perfectly demonstrated her strong warning of taking lessons of today proactively instead of reactively.
To follow up on all that fire early in the morning, the Summit brought out some real heavy hitters for up close and personal conversation about success with Edith Cooper, Executive Vice President for Goldman Sachs, and Glenda McNeal, President of Enterprise Strategic Partnerships with American Express. Both women have rose to astronomical levels in corporate America, but still took time to share some of the gems of their experience. Ms. Cooper, steady, consistent, and driven at for Goldman Sachs proved that indeed risk can be some the best advancement advice, even in a very conservative environment. Her ultimate success had several critical pivot points including the decision to make an international move with her family in tow. Throughout it all she kept her personal internal growth at the heart of her decisions, ensuring departure choices she made worked to inspire and develop her. The process left a lasting impact on how she prioritizes being present and intentional in her work and pairing that intention with preparation and engagement made sure her mark. As tables were filled with other woman who supported her and were supported by her at Goldman it was clear her mark would be left not just in her company but also in the people who rose with her and even after her. This focus allowed her to build a legacy that took the time to pay attention to people, trusting in how empowering these true and honest interactions can be in building extraordinary greatness in others.
Mrs. Glenda McNeal showcased a true "I am woman, Hear me Roar" philosophy based in action not words. This passion assisted in moving her away from the typical step up to role at American Express and instead propelling her all the way to the top in an untraditional matriculation through the credit powerhouse. She offered the advice she has garnered in moving to success from the inside out. Her guide to moving up and moving out of your own way starts with believing in you. By centering who you are you can set a pace to move forward and not blocking off the potential of the future by setting boundaries of just how far you can go. Next she advised to choose courage. Ultimately balancing the demands of being a brave, daring, risk taker with having humility and being vulnerable provide lessons on both sides of the coin that are critical to conquering uncharted territory. Her final words were of encouragement to strive for intentional living where you can be deliberate not just in how you what you do but in your time. Being present in these fleeing moments in time as that is the most valuable resource of all. By women in living to their best authentic self that not just makes for personal development, but for a legacy you can fill proud of. Donna Brazile, Edith Cooper, and Glenda McNeal shined a path for not just hope and inspiration but to light a fire under us that any goal is possible when you do the work required to get there.

Help with our applications
What's new?
The Fires Near Me NSW application has been updated with additional features.
You can now set up a 'watch zone' to be notified about incidents in an area.
We've also made a number of other improvements to the application, based on feedback from users.
What is a greyed out area on the map?
The areas that are grey indicate the burnt area of a fire.
How do I set a 'Watch Zone"
There are three ways to set a watch zone.
Hold down on the map – select your location and tap 'Add Watch Zone'.
In the menu – select 'My Watch Zones' and select 'Add a new Watch Zone'.
Search from the map – tap the search button at the top of the screen, enter an address and select 'Add Watch Zone'.
You can also select a radius to keep watch on. This means you'll receive notifications for that distance from the location you drop the pin.
Remember – if the watch zone is larger, you're likely to receive more notifications. A smaller watch zone may mean you receive less notifications but you may not be notified about incidents that are moving quickly.
What sort of notifications will I receive?
Once you've set a watch zone, you may receive notifications such as:
- A new fire in your watch zone
- A fire spreading into your watch zone
- A fire's alert level increasing, indicating an increased danger
- When there is new information about a major fire which may be important to your safety
- Other notifications, such as important messages about fire danger or activity
How many 'Watch Zones' can I have?
You can set up to ten watch zones.
Once I've set up a watch zone, can I share it to my other device?
At this stage, you're unable to share your watch zones to other devices. This is a feature we're considering for the future.
For now, you will need to recreate a watch zone on other devices.
Do I have to delete my current app to install the new one?
No. Simply update your application in the App Store or Google Play store.
Can I turn off notifications?
Yes. However if you turn off notifications, you will not receive any messages including emergency notifications or Emergency Warnings.
I'm receiving too many notifications. What should I do?
Notifications are sent to users based on a number of conditions, such as when a new incident is reported, when it moves into a watch zone, or when there's a change to the information in our system.
This means some users may receive notifications several times.
If you're receiving too many notifications, please don't turn off notifications. You might want to consider having a smaller watch zone to reduce the area you're keeping watch on.
What do the different coloured diamonds mean?
The different colours refer to the different Alert Levels. Alert Levels give you an indication of how serious a fire is, and what you should do.
Red - Emergency Warning - An Emergency Warning is the highest level of Bush Fire Alert. You may be in danger and need to take action immediately. Any delay now puts your life at risk.
Yellow - Watch And Act - There is a heightened level of threat. Conditions are changing and you need to start taking action now to protect you and your family.
Blue - Advice - A fire has started. There is no immediate danger. Stay up to date in case the situation changes.
What does a white diamond on the map mean?
A white diamond is typically for an incident where crews are on their way, or an incident that has been automatically generated by people calling Triple Zero.
Why am I receiving notifications for incidents outside my area?
From time to time, we may send a notification to all users of the app, for incidents or conditions which are affecting a large number of people. We do this to alert as many people as possible and as quickly as possible.
Will it give me info from other states?
No. For information on fires in states other than NSW or the ACT, please check the relevant agency in that area.
I live in the ACT. Will I be told about fires in my area?
Yes. The app shows incidents from the ACT Emergency Services Agency. You can set a watch zone for the ACT. Depending on the distance you set, you may also receive information about fires in NSW.
Will I receive information on total fire bans?
The application will send you a notification each morning if there's a total fire in one of your watch zones.
How do I find the fire danger rating for my area?
You can find the fire danger rating for your area through the menu of the application.
I can't download the application to my device. What can I do?
The application is available only on iOS and Android devices.
As technology and features change, your device may become out of date depending on its age.
If you have an out of date device, or a device other an iOS or Android, you can still access fire information through our Fires Near Me page and setting it as a bookmark or icon on your device, giving you many of the features of the application.
A fire hasn't been updated for some time. Is there a problem?
The application shows the last time information was refreshed at the bottom of the screen.
Each incident also has a timestamp showing the last time the information was updated.
Incidents at Emergency Warning level are updated frequently. Incidents at Watch and Act are updated several times throughout the day, or as the situation changes.
Some incidents, such as those at Advice or which have been burning for some time but not causing any threat, may be updated less frequently.
We aim to provide information as frequently as possible, based on the information being provided by firefighting attending the incident.
Will it have road closure information?
No. For road information check www.livetraffic.com
I'm not seeing any incidents displayed. Is there a problem?
If you're not seeing any incidents, check your internet connection. The app needs an internet connection to get data.
If you're still not seeing incidents, check that you have the correct version of the application.
We've recently updated the app, so it's important to check that you have the right app installed.
Firstly, delete the app from your device.
Then, download the correct version from here.
IOS - http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fires-near-me-nsw/id370891827?mt=8
Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.gov.nsw.rfs.firesnearme.nsw

Read Daily Updated Light Novel, Web Novel, Chinese Novel, Japanese And Korean Novel Online.
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.tk
"This is shocking, isn't it?"
Martin joyfully said as he walked closer. "This is the Four Seasons Garden's four seasons secret plane, which has an overall land area of more than one hundred thousand mu, and is abundant with various types of resources… …"
"One hundred thousand mu?" Leylin was extremely surprised; this was the land area of a couple countries from before he was reincarnated added up together.
"Yeah, there are not only valuable objects and magical living creatures, but normal humans are in here too…"
Martin pointed towards the distance at what looked like an area of small towns and villages. "We employ normal humans to help us with farming and even working at some plantations for the Magi. This proves that being well organised, well planned with training, and more highly invested human resources, we can produce even more resources…"
"The entire Four Season's secret plane is the foundation of our Four Season's Garden, and is an unending stream of treasure!"
"Building the secret plane, cultivating resources, and harvesting; these are the main resources used to furnish the white Magi's power!" An intoxicating look flashed through Martin's eyes.
"These one hundred thousand mu of land have such a high energy concentration, and adding the special care and maintenance…" Leylin sighed, as he thought to himself in his heart.
Leylin also felt that the old him was always living in the shadows of the Magus world, whereas right now, he could finally see the differing ideologies of the dark Magi.
The light Magi cultivated the various plantations and animals within the secret plane, thus reaping great resources.
On the other hand, the dark Magi seemed to prefer using violence to obtain these resources.
"Leylin, do you know why the previous check that we went through was so stringent?"
Martin asked unexpectedly.
"Why? Could it be because of the fear of the dark Magi?" Leylin shared his speculations.
"Yes, it's those wretched beings!" Martin was fuming with rage when he spoke of the dark Magi.
"Those bloodthirsty dark Magi always seek to profit using other people's toils, and cannot be bothered to run their own secret plane. Instead, from time to time, they plot against our light Magi's secret plane.
The short magician who was at the side revealed the reason.
"Every year, there would be a successful occasion of dark Magi raiding our secret plane! Although they took only the presently available resources, and the secret plane was able to resume production, it was still a tremendous loss…
On the contrary, Leylin was surprisingly knowledgeable about the reasoning behind it.
Although the dark Magi grew up in a bloody and vicious environment, it was undeniable that having grown up in such conditions, these dark Magi were more powerful than the average light Magus.
In the eyes of the dark Magi, whose methods involved preying on the weak, the resources of the white Magi were a veritable gold mine.
Moreover, these kinds of smaller scale battles could even be used as a way for the dark Magi to train their forces.
If the white Magi had not been well organised and united, and the black Magi themselves also had flaws and trust issues, perhaps the balance of power of Magi in the entire south coast may have been altered.
"Alright, I will allocate the next task!"
Martin stood at the corner again and waited for all the Magi to make their way over, before giving his speech.
"Our task is to clean up an area in the north division, getting rid of the insect pests and diseases within. We also have to pay attention to the disease that is affecting the grassland in the east division. Black spots have appeared on the surface of Horse Milk Grass, and we need to use the First Jacklin Potion to take care of it."
"Fire Eyes and Hakob, go to the first east division! Oak and Leylin, you two go to the second east division."
Next, Martin started to announce people's duties.
"Let's go!" The midget Magus named Oak told Leylin.
After everyone's duties had been distributed, the Magi in the third team left the platform in groups of twos and threes.
"There is still a very large distance that we need to traverse to reach the north division, but we have already arranged for a mount, and will be able to reach our destination quickly… …"
It was obvious that Oak had been here a few times in the past. He brought Leylin to the edge of a building. Facing the window, he asked for 2 of the green metal plates.
"The controlling device for the Dragon Crown Nighthawks?"
By now, Leylin understood that the Four Seasons Garden totally controlled the secret plane.
With the two piercing cries of the Nighthawks, the two Dragon Crown Nighthawks flapped their wings and flew towards the east.
After flying for a distance, if one were to look at the riders from they had set off, one would only be able to see some tiny black specks.
The whistling of the wind continued to sound in Leylin's ears.
Leylin sat on the wide back of the Nighthawk, sweeping his eyes over the land under him.
In the secret plane, where the amount of energy particles was much denser, all types of vegetation grew very well.
For as far as the eye could see, there were lush green fields, within which there were several organised patches of blue flowers that gave off a sweet scent.
This was the Honey Milk Flower. Not only was it often used by acolytes as an ingredient used in Potioneering, the nectar within the flower was also a food that all beings in the Magus world enjoyed.
With the use of the A.I. Chip, Leylin could see that within the sea of blue, there were several people looking like ants as they worked diligently.
Beside the sea of flowers, there were several obviously man-made constructions, which seemed to have the sole purpose of watching over the flowers.
"Regular humans are in charge of plants that acolytes use as ingredients. As for ingredients that the official Magi usually use, which are more precious, they are more heavily defended, and are bred in special environments that simulate the environment of the outside world."
After flying for nearly half an hour, they descended into the outskirts of a small town.
"Greetings, my Lords!"
At this moment, a bunch of housewives and children came out from the town, and led by a town mayor and an acolyte, they respectfully greeted Leylin and Oak.
"We have definitely told you everything regarding the general events that have been taking place! This is my identity token! Bring me to the surveillance tower!"
Oak handed over a badge to the acolyte.
The acolyte seemed to be very old, and there were streaks of white hair behind his ears. He took the badge and traced over the surface of it with his thumb while chanting an incantation.
With the incantation, a layer of white light emerged from the badge and formed an image in midair. The screen listed Leylin's and Oak's profiles.
"Lord Leylin! Lord Oak! Please follow me!"
After seeing the image and information, this acolyte seemed to heave a sigh of relief, as he led Leylin and Oak to a tall stone tower within the small town.
"This is the organisation's surveillance tower. I have been taking on the role as a guard and have been maintaining the tower. Right now it is operating perfectly fine." The acolyte opened the doors of the surveillance tower as he made his report.
The surveillance tower was extremely simple, and the walls were the colour of ashen grey rocks.
The first floor made up the living quarters of the acolyte, and goods such as the stones and crystals used in the maintenance of the tower were haphazardly stocked on the second floor.
After going up the long flight of spiral steps, Leylin reached the highest floor of the surveillance tower.
Outside the door of the highest floor, there was actually a living magic creature. It was a painting of a lizard mounted on the wall. "Give me the password!"
"The great mother earth has bestowed upon us her powers!" The acolyte recited in a singsong voice.
"Password confirmed!" Following the reply of the lizard, the door opened with a creak.
"Even though he is only a level 3 acolyte, he's not bad!"
Leylin looked at the lizard within the painting that was still crawling and commented, before entering the room.
The room at the highest level was very small. There were windows installed on the four walls, and through them, one could observe the scenery surrounding the town.
"This is an apparatus that monitors the weather, and these spell formations complement the fine tuning of humidity and temperature. The controls are extremely simple, but since this is still your first time, Leylin, you can watch me first…"
Oak walked towards a black apparatus.
"Our initial purpose for coming here is to treat the disease that is affecting the Horse Milk Grass…"
Oak pressed on the apparatus, and immediately put on a red plastic mask on his face.
*Ka-Cha!* A depression appeared in the apparatus. It was the size of a thumb, which could fit a test-tube in.
"First Jacklin Potion!"
Oak placed several test tubes in the depression. Immediately, the green liquids water level slowly fell.
"Rain!" Oak spat out the word in the ancient Byron language. At the same time, water element particles were constantly converging in his palm.
The energy particles were magnified through the apparatus and were eventually expelled out of the tower.
"To have used the magic of magicians to replace science and create man-made rain, this is incredible!" An intoxicated expression appeared on Leylin's face as he thought.
Any and all paths of progression would eventually converge at the same final destination.
The magicians who harnessed the mysterious powers of magic in this world had nearly achieved the same feats attained in Leylin's previous world.
Above the small town, patches of ominous clouds gathered and seemingly grew denser by the second.
*Pitter Patter!*
Droplets of green rain fell from the sky.
Dark clouds amassed, and the rain descended upon the grassy plains.
With the onset of rain, the black spots on the surface of the Horse Milk Grass became noticeably lighter. It seemed that with the treatment contained within the rainfall, the grass could have a complete recovery
"The management of the secret plane is also a skill! The method of creating rain is the simplest of all of the techniques that we use. We also need to be aware of the compatibility of the flora and the fauna. For instance, if Night Lotus Flowers and Midnight Bees are put together, not only can this raise the efficiency of the production of the Midnight Lotus Flowers, it can also increase the vitality of the Midnight Bees, and increase the chance of there being a Bee King. Furthermore, the honey made from the pollen of the Midnight Lotus Flower is also a cosmetic item highly sought after by female Magi."
Oak gave Leylin a brief introduction.
Leylin's experience in managing a secret plane was completely non-existent.
Hence, he attentively recorded Oak's words in his memory and asked questions from time to time in order to lessen his doubts
"However, it's a pity! If I am able to let the A.I. Chip manage the activities within the secret plane using science and technology, I am confident that I can increase the productivity of the secret plane by at least 20%!"
After understanding the general situation within the secret plane, Leylin felt that this was a pity.

Your Team Needs a UX Engineer
Recently, after I mentioned that I was the only one on my team that writes the CSS, someone replied, "You're lucky".
It stuck with me, and I've been thinking about it since. The thing is, it's not luck. It was a deliberate decision made early when the team was first put together. And I think the rest of the developers on my team would think themselves lucky for not having to touch the CSS. It is more valuable for us to have one person on the team who specializes in that.
We need to rethink something about the way we build our web development teams. We spend a lot of effort hiring good programmers, but for the most part, they are interchangeable. We make sure that everyone we hire knows the fundamentals of software engineering, architecture, and the primary language the team uses. And then we assume.
If a developer has a solid grasp on JavaScript, we think, surely they know CSS. Surely they know how to deal with accessibility. Surely they have a grasp on how and when to use various HTML elements and aria-* properties. These are small beans compared to the code. And in many ways, they are.
But, of course, this isn't how it plays out. Because we hire purely for the bigger task, CSS and accessibility always remain an afterthought. On most teams, nobody really knows what they are doing when it comes to these topics. They team stumbles along, joking amongst themselves how horrible CSS is.
We need to fix this. On teams larger than four or five developers, I think we can: one person per team should be hired explicitly for these tasks. Most of the team will still be focused on JavaScript (or Python or Java). But one person—call them a "CSS Developer" or "UX Engineer"—should be hired specifically for these "afterthought" concerns.
Is a developer building a new component and needs some styles? The UX Engineer writes that CSS. The UX Engineer gives a snippet of HTML to the developer for them to incorporate into the component. The UX engineer ensures the correct semantics and can come alongside the developer to ensure keyboard navigation works. The UX Engineer maintains a pattern library for the team to use as a reference to find existing styles.
This UX Engineer serves an important role, but furthermore, they allow the other developer to offload some work. The developer can focus on the "bigger concern" of getting the business logic right and ensuring the app works correctly. This improves the developer's productivity.
This is how things work on my team. I am effectively the UX Engineer, and I think everyone enjoys the process more because of it. In our case, we stumbled upon this setup—I was originally hired for my JavaScript skills. As always, the CSS was an afterthought; I just happened to be good at it, so we settled into the current arrangement.
Don't wait for your team to stumble into this. Set it up intentionally. Hire a UX Engineer.

A Memory Grows is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves as an outreach to grieving parents, and as a resource to hospitals, clinics, hospice groups, churches and other nonprofit organizations.
Retreat Experiences
"October 15th was our first unborn child's due date. So it just all fit perfectly that I found this great event to attend. I surprised her with a date night and the first thing she did was cry. She was worried and apprehensive about people seeing her cry, until she saw others hurting/healing too. We loved it. You guys don't understand how much you helped our family. We can breathe again. We know the future may still have ups and downs and setbacks…but now we have hope. Now we know we are not alone in this. Thank you for everything"
"My husband and I attended our first retreat honoring our twins that passed away in October. This was such a special time for us to talk about our children and meet other parents that have been through something similar. We took away new lifelong friendships and items we made honoring our children. We were nervous going in and by the end of the weekend we did not want to leave. DeAndrea has a big heart and truly cares for each family. We are so glad we went. It was a very special weekend."
"My husband and I just returned from the School Aged Child Loss Retreat at the Iron Horse Inn in Granbury. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to spend this time together in the fellowship of other grieving families and under the thoughtful, caring and extremely insightful guidance of DeAndrea Dare. We felt safe and comfortable sharing our story, learning about the grief process and learning ways that we can carry on and move forward while always remembering and honoring the life and legacy of our son."
It was such a blessing to be able to gather with other women who are walking the same journey I am. I loved listening to each of their stories even if my heart broke a little more each time. But there is healing in coming together and making new friends. We each lit a candle with our child's name after we told their story. We had a great panel discussion, lunch in a beautiful venue, and ended with a wind chime craft. And I'm looking forward to the couples retreat when we each get to make a quilt square.
After a child dies it seems that time has stopped and yet the world keeps on moving. Our hearts break and our minds race and yet no one can see or feel that which is happening inside of us. We all grieve differently and sometimes the ways that we grieve are misunderstood by others and even by ourselves. This is why it is so important to find others who are walking a similar path who can truly relate to what we are thinking and feeling.
When navigating the journey of grief it is often helpful to read what others have written, find helpful tools for the day, be inspired by another's courage or even to sit and listen to the words of music.
These resources are helpful for both the parent who has lost a child as well as others who desire to provide the gift of presence and meaningful support to those who are grieving.
Blue Christmas by Lisa Dalton
My name is Lisa Dalton. I am a mother of 4 living children and 2 sweet babies who will forever be alive in my heart and in my memories. This is my story… My husband and I knew we wanted a large family and we were happily on our way. We had 3 beautiful children, one boy and two girls. In March of 2003 my 4th pregnancy ended abruptly in a miscarriage at 9 weeks. We named our tiny baby Alyssa. I was pregnant again quite quickly and found out we were expecting a little boy the following February. After my previous miscarriage, I was grateful to make it through the first trimester. I anticipated this child's birth with great joy. Benjamin was born full term at 9# 11oz in February of 2004. Benjamin was a healthy baby with a lusty cry and a sweet spirit. He smiled often
Mother's Day Dallas Morning News Article
The following was published in the Dallas Morning News on 5-12-17 : https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/05/12/mothers-day-remember-grieving Mother's Day for many is a celebration full of great joy. For others, it is one of the hardest days of the year. Advertisers deem that the day be full of beautiful pictures and posts on social media, balloons, flowers, cards, sunshine and fancy brunches. But for many the day is a reminder of the empty chair, the phone call that will not come, the handmade cards scrawled with "Mommy" that will not be created. It's another day filled with the what-ifs, the should-have-beens, and the hopes and dreams that did not turn out as planned. For some, the day is hard because their mothers are no longer living. Many have always missed the presence of supporting and loving mothers in their lives. For others, Mother's Day is a day of longing for children they have can't

A new blog for YES! Magazine asks, "How do we get over coal?"
That's the question many are asking in Appalachia, where coal's contribution to the economy is wearing thin. Already, coal is less and less abundant and more and more expensive to extract. And because it harms the environment and destroys local communities, "How do we get over coal?" is a question for Appalachia's future.
You'll have to read "3 Lessons for Appalachia's Post-Coal Economy" to find the "how" out for yourself, but the gist is this: Appalachia is full of organizations that are promoting sustainable business models. That means business should benefit local residents. That means looking out for the long run. That means creating an interconnected network of new industries that will avoid the problems of leaning on only one resource.
Check it out! Appalachia's future depends on it.

Dental Crowns: Giving Teeth a Longer Life
A dental crown is a treatment that allows us to prolong the life of a tooth that would otherwise break and need to be removed. A crown is sometimes called a "cap". That's because it actually fits on top of a "prepared" broken down tooth. Once the crown is permanently cemented, it returns the damaged tooth to normal appearance, form, and function. It provides excellent strength and beauty.
When is a crown is needed?
To protect a cracked or weak tooth
Sometimes a teeth crack. It doesn't always happen at once. If the tooth cracks between the cusps then every bite can cause pain. The tooth will show up normally on the x-rays but the tooth won't feel right. A crown will support the cusps of the tooth and cause much needed comfort. It will prevent the crack from spreading and save you from a root canal.
To fix a worn tooth
Stress is bad for your health and your teeth. Stress and teeth grinding go hand and hand. If it goes on long enough it can cause real damage to the teeth. Sometimes the only way to fix a worn tooth is with a crown. The crown will prevent any further damage from grinding and will make it look perfect.
To fix a broken tooth
Teeth break. You're having a meal and while chewing you hear a crack and big chunk of tooth breaks off. Don't worry. Many times we can fix that tooth up as good as new with a simple crown.
For cosmetic reasons
When a tooth is misshaped or hopelessly stained it is possible to correct it with a crown. It is preferable to treat these problems with more conservative treatments but sometimes a crown is an appropriate treatment.
Following a root canal
A root canal removes the blood supply to a tooth. Over time it becomes brittle and weak. Without a crown the tooth inevitably breaks and many times will need to be removed. The only logical plan is to place a crown on the tooth directly following the root canal.
What is a bridge?
A bridge is a treatment to replace a missing tooth. A bridge is when a crown is placed on the tooth in front and behind the missing tooth. Connected to the two crowns is a false tooth, or "pontic", which bridges the space between the two crowns. It looks just like a natural tooth and functions perfectly as well.
There are downsides. You will not be able to floss normally between the bridge and it does require shaving down, or "prepping" of the teeth in front and back. While the gold standard of care for a tooth is an implant. There are cases where a bridge is preferable.

Chelsea and Manchester United are in danger of missing out on Bayern Munich star Toni Kroos after Barcelona joined the race for his signature, according to reports in Germany.
The 24-year-old who has just one year left on his contract at the Allianz Arena - has rejected a chance to sign a new deal and the Bundesliga club are not willing to improve their current offer.
According to German magazine Kicker, Barca thinks the German fits the profile that Blaugrana boss Luis Enrique is looking for to strengthen the midfield.
However, they will have to fight for him with their rivals as recent reports claimed Kroos' agent met with Real Madrid officials a number of times last season regarding a summer move to the Santiago Bernabeu. The German international has told the Spanish club and other potential suitors he will not make any decisions over his future until after the World Cup.
Real Madrid will face fierce competition for his services because while Chelsea are keen on offering him €8.5 a year Los Blancos will not go over €6m. Barcelona are yet to table an offer.
Meanwhile Cesc Fabregas has since completed his long-awaited move to Chelsea while his former team-mate and Barca legend Xavi Hernandez - who claimed Cesc's departure is a "big loss" for the Catalan club - is also set to leave his childhood team to join Qatar-based outfit Al-Arabi SC.
The Catalan giants have also completed the expected signing of Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who had been linked with a move to Liverpool and Manchester United in recent months.

This month's "Golden Health" blog question comes from a GRRA supporter who wanted to know about how to combat their adopted Golden's excessive paw licking. Those of us with Goldens in our home unfortunately know this challenge well. Dr. Shepherd from North Roswell Vet Clinic is here to help us with suggestions.
First off, how to tell a bored dog vs. a dog that has allergies is key. When a dog has an OCD problem, they usually only lick or groom the front paws and NOT the back. Sometimes, it's just one foot. When you notice they are chewing and licking all four paws, that is usually an allergy problem.
Normal foot or paw grooming is probably one to two times per day. If an OCD problem is in play, sometimes these guys --- if they are non-stop on the grooming --- need to be seen by a Vet because they can create a wet area that cannot dry out and can get infected and create a bacterial dermatitis (hot spot). Redness in-between the pads can also be a sign of allergies.
If this does seem to be a boredom or OCD problem issue with your adopted Golden, then finding something to occupy their time or giving them something to do is your best bet. Longer walks, more time in the dog park, something to chew on, etc. are different ways to combat this.
If it seems to be allergies, the best thing to do is to get them to the Vet (Goldens are sadly notorious for allergy issues). Most of their allergies are inhalation, but unlike humans who show inhalation allergies with watery eyes, sneezing, etc. they show it in their skin in itching and scratching and chewing.
Most allergies have a threshold and it takes some juggling to figure out how to get them below that threshold that allows them to be more comfortable where they are not itching, scratching, and chewing themselves.
One thing that can help is changes in food. Selected protein diets are wonderful for this. Unfortunately, any selected protein diets that you can buy over the counter are not closely monitored. They are often made on the same assembly line as the regular foods. This is why the prescription brands are a much better way to go and those can only be purchased with a prescription from your Vet.
Food allergies for the dog come from the protein source not the grain source, so going "grain free" is a myth out there that many people fall for. Grain free does not help a food allergy problem.
Also, if it is a food allergy problem that foot licking is usually year round where as if it is an inhalation allergy, it tends to be more seasonal (spring and fall) and the foot chewing sometimes slows down in other seasons (even though there isn't much break in Georgia!).
Allergies are tough to combat and it is definitely a balancing act. The takeaway here is there is no cure --- there is only treatment.
Thanks for the helpful information, Dr. Shepherd! Do you have a "Golden Health" issue you are battling with your adopted Golden Retriever? Want to ask Dr. Shepherd from North Roswell Vet Clinic about a specific challenge you are currently facing? Please post your question here in the comments and we'll be glad to pass along for you. Happy Golden Health, everyone!

Archive Collective hosted their fifth Crit Night at Kiosk Gallery on Thursday September 3, 2015. This Crit Night was for the artists to get feedback on works in progress and in this way, see what is working and what needs to be reassessed. There was a larger turnout than was expected, making for a slightly crowded and very warm environment. Despite that, there was a good atmosphere geared towards critique within the framework of photography.
Kat Richards, printmaking senior at KU, presented her work as primarily dealing with the drag culture, virtual presence, and identity. Although there were some elements that were working, there was much room for improvement. One issue with the photographs was the language she used to describe her concepts. Many of the words she used were problematic towards the queer/ drag community. Not only was she using models who are not part of drag culture, but she also put herself in drag, using it as a costume. Participants in the critique thought Richards was not taking into consideration the potentially negative implications of this type of portrayal. Her lack of research in conceptual approach ended up opening different discussions she was not prepared to address. This was a large topic of discussion for the overall body of work.
Richards use of photography -in technical terms-was problematic. the works presented were decent, well lit, subjects in focus, but the glossy finish on the prints reflected the overhead lights. The colors she chose for the background of the two gender centric studio portraits – pink and blue – were an obvious choice and did nothing to for her already questionable concepts. To be fair, she was attempting to achieve the cinematic. The audience discussion was largely about problematic ideas on gender identity. One of the attendees, Donut, commented on how Richards' idea of what the work was about did not come across because of how directly they mimicked aesthetics the queer community. It seemed to be that Richards had not taken into consideration many of the points that were brought up so hopefully this critique works to her favor moving forward.
This critique could have been better balanced between the two bodies of work and spent more time discussing the photographs that dealt more with value within the virtual realm and strange object phenomena. These seemed to have potential for further exploration. Her use of color and the objects within her constructed spaces alluded internet culture and virtual space and presence. Whether intentional or not, certain objects she included were referential to American culture as well and I felt that could compliment her other interests well also, given she researches more in depth.
Second to present was Emma Provin, who was projecting a short film. Her piece, Agnes Cannibale, featured Agnes, whose body is having a negative reaction to the human meat she has been ingesting. Strong female lead characters are not often seen within the context of the horror genre. Provin managed to use this atypical narrative through execution. The film was shot and edited handsomely; the framing throughout the entire length was consistent in its intentions and correlated nicely with the overall concept. The tension built by not seeing Agnes' face, and instead just her hand gestures, kept the audience engaged with the character. At the end, this payed off by finally revealing an entirely different dimension of self mutilation. Overall, the environment Provin created was appealing and counterbalanced the grotesque implications.
The conversation revolved a lot around the main character and her persona. The one point that was discussed, a bit too extensively, was the sound throughout the film. Fellow Crit Night participants felt the sound was too low, even when scenes were functioning properly silent. The music also surfaced comments on the time setting and the contrast between the chosen aesthetics of Agnes' old fashioned space and her modern objects. This played into the conversation surrounding her persona and the way in which the juxtaposing of these two served as a way to confirm assumptions made by the audience about the character.
Last to present work was Dustin Downey. Primarily an installation based artist, Downey showed photographs that were meant to serve as documentation of installations. His work explores the relationship between light, space, and form. However, instead of providing the viewer with simulation of those installations they left much to be uncovered. That physical presence of light in space was unfortunately not translated through the photographs. Many of the prints were too dark, abstracting the space from the image entirely. Downey's documentation of his installations seemed to be referencing Dan Flavin's fluorescent works in the way the light source is supposed interact with the space. Flavin's documentation of his installations can double as artwork themselves because they consider the medium they are being translated through instead of simulating the experience. Downey's work did not evoke any sense of presence or spatial depth instead the contrast ratio of the photos made the spaces ambiguous.
By the end of the night, all three artists were able to hear the reception of their work from a small but diverse audience. Each artist received constructive suggestions for ways to improve or reevaluate the directions of their work.

Toronto beatmaker Marco Polo has produced tracks for Talib Kweli and Pharoahe Monch and his next project, PA2: The Director's Cut (out in July), boasts over 25 guests, including DJ Premier, Styles P and Kweli. But despite the all-star cameos, Polo says the upcoming LP is all about himself.
"I'm coming out as the artist Marco Polo," he tells Fuse's weekly series "The Mixdown," which previewed Polo's upcoming album in his studio and got the stories behind many of the best tracks.
"With PA2, I attacked it by getting a bunch of quality stuff and tying it all together like Dre did with The Chronic, Pete Rock did with Soul Survivor and Marley Marl did with his early albums. It's not a compilation to me. It's art."
Polo also tells Fuse the story behind "G.U.R.U.," his tribute track to the late Gang Starr rapper Guru. "Without sounding corny, I made this on the day Guru passed," Polo explains. "I was definitely going through something emotionally, because [Gang Starr] was so important to me coming up. You can feel that something was going on with me that day. I was slightly emo."
