"Strictly confidential letter" regarding Srebrenica disclosed
Top secret letter from 1996 disclosed, containing information that during Srebrenica demilitarization, large quantity of weapons was delivered to BiH armySource: Tanjug
Until May 7, 1995, a significant amount of weapons were delivered to the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Srebrenica, which was then a demilitarized zone, by an air bridge, which was presented as exclusively humanitarian at the time, according to a confidential letter from the Bosnian Army Commander Rasim Delic, "Vecernje novosti" had insight in.
As stated in a strictly confidential letter sent by the then Commander of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Assembly of BiH on May 30, 1996, 374,982 bullets, 436 diverse bombs, 131 thunderbolts, 44 launchers, 292 launchers RPG7, 59 bazooka mines, one rocket launcher of 107 mm, 28 rockets were delivered to BiH soldiers.
According to the letter, the soldiers received a laser "red lightning" by means of an air bridge, 275 mines of 60mm, 24 zolja grenades, 740 mines from 82 and 122mm.
For everyday needs and rewards to the best fighters in Srebrenica, DM 350,000 was sent from Sarajevo, and additional DM 308,000 for the purpose of "Shahid's Fund".
As "Novosti" reports, Delic reveals in the document that supplies were provided to Alija Izetbegovic fighters in Srebrenica, which was officially demilitarized and protected zone of the UN.
"Even Gorazde hadn't received these funds, and Sarajevo defended itself with much less funds in 1992 and 1993", Delic said in the document.
In this letter, Delic complains that the unfair struggle for power and constant divisions on this basis, the poor attitude of the Police and the Armed Forces of BiH, the murders of political opponents, war profiteering, crime and the poor organization of the defense forces, were the sore internal reasons that led to the fall of Srebrenica back in July 1995.
As "positive results", he mentions massacres of Serbs in 1992, not only in Srebrenica zone, but throughout Podrinje, from Skelani to Zvornik.

The Law Society's Committee on Legal Education releases its majority report, recommending that office-based training be improved and that the benchers closely supervise the Law School. Blind-sided by the Society's decision, Cecil Wright, Bora Laskin, and John Willis leave Osgoode Hall Law School to take up positions at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. Anglophile Charles E. Smalley-Baker is appointed Dean of Osgoode Hall Law School and he begins to undertake a campaign to improve the low student morale.

Make us an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred,
Let us sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light, and
Where there is sadness, Joy.
O, Divine Master,
Grant that we may not so much seek,
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
This we pray in the name of our Lord Jesus,

One of best things about the original NSX is its dual-overhead cam 3.0-liter VTEC-equipped V-6 engine. It's light, responsive, and revs to 8000 RPM. But did you know the NSX wasn't originally supposed to get a VTEC engine? Here's what happened.
Acura is celebrating the NSX's 30th anniversary this week, and it released a lengthy press release detailing the car's development history. One popular story recounts the then-president of Honda Motor Company, Tadashi Kume, starting the NSX's engine on the show floor:
Prior to the press conference,[Kume] unexpectedly decided to fire up the prototype's engine, a sound that could be heard in an adjacent room, where a competing automaker was holding its own press preview.
What most people don't know is what happened afterwards, which would change the NSX's history forever.
While the noisy blast attracted media attention, Kume turned to the NSX engineering team and asked why the NS-X Concept didn't use the new VTEC technology that had been recently developed at R&D. When told that it was only planned for a four-cylinder engine application, Kume pushed the team for a VTEC V-6 design.
The engineering team received similar input from a group of top enthusiast automotive journalists attending a "super long lead" driving event at Honda's Tochigi R&D Center, prior to the prototype's Chicago Auto Show debut. These included top testers from Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Road & Track. The reactions were generally very positive; however, there was also a feeling that the NSX could use more power.
Because the VTEC engine was wider than the motor originally meant to fit in the car, the entire wheelbase had to be lengthened to accommodate it. The front and rear overhangs were also made longer to keep the proportions right.
Who knows what the NSX would've been like without a VTEC-equipped engine? Still fun to drive, probably. But That VTEC sound is a big reason why the car is truly great. We're glad it got the powertrain it deserved.

Rory Block at Nighttown
Event Category: Events
Legendary Guitarist, Vocalist, & Acoustic Blues Master hits the Nighttown Stage for Special Solo Show!
Heralded as "a living landmark" (Berkeley Express), "a national treasure" (Guitar Extra), and "one of the greatest living acoustic blues artists" (Blues Revue), Rory Block has committed her life and her career to preserving the Delta blues tradition and bringing it to life for 21st century audiences around the world.
Rory grew up in Manhattan a family with Bohemian leanings. Her father owned a Greenwich Village sandal shop, where musicians like Bob Dylan, Maria Muldaur and John Sebastian all made occasional appearances.
During these years, her life was touched – and profoundly changed – by personal encounters with some of the earliest and most influential Delta blues masters of the 20th century. She made frequent visits to the Bronx, where she learned her first lessons in blues and gospel music from the Reverend Gary Davis. She swapped stories and guitar licks with seminal bluesman Son House, Robert Johnson's mentor
She left home at 15 with her guitar and a few friends – heading for California on a trip marked by numerous detours and stops in small towns. Along the way, she picked her way through a vast catalog of country blues songs and took her first steps in developing a fingerpicking and slide guitar style that would eventually be her trademark.
Rory signed a record deal with the Boston-based Rounder label, which released her High Heeled Blues in 1981. Rolling Stone referred to the album as "some of the most singular and affecting country blues anyone – man or woman, black or white, old or young – has cut in recent years."
Back in a groove that felt comfortable and fulfilling, Block threw herself headlong into an ambitious touring schedule that helped hone her technical and vocal skills to a razor's edge, and at the same time nurture a distinctive voice as a songwriter. She stayed with Rounder for the next two decades, making records that simultaneously indulged her affinity for traditional country blues and served as a platform for her own formidable songwriting talents.
The world finally started taking notice in the early 1990s, and Block scored numerous awards throughout the decade. Her visibility overseas increased dramatically when Best Blues and Originals, fueled by the single "Lovin' Whiskey," went gold in parts of Europe. She brought home Blues Music Awards four years in a row – two for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year, and two for Best Acoustic Blues Album of the Year. Then in 1997, she won the Blues Music Award for The Lady and Mr. Johnson, a tribute to Robert Johnson, taking home Acoustic Album of the Year.
Today, after more than twenty highly acclaimed releases and five Blues Music Awards, Block is at the absolute height of her creative powers, bringing a world full of life lessons to bear on what she calls "a total celebration of my beloved instrument and best friend, the guitar."

We've got a fairly full hard drive at the moment, and I don't think my other half will be too pleased about us losing them all!! It'd be good if MagicTV are able to transfer the recordings to the new unit's hard drive, if they simply replace with a new machine, or even move the old hard drive to the new unit (assuming it's a main-board fault of some sort?).

Women make up 52% of society but only 20% of MPs, she added. Labour, Employment and Migration Minister Almazbek Abytov suggested amending existing laws to expand the role of women in political and public life.
Kyrgyzstan needs to create a National Council on Women's Issues under the president, participants agreed.

Cilpar was an agriworld in the Colonies, nearly covered in mountains, jungles, and forests. It was characterized by the near-indestructible ancient temples scattered across the surface. Local flora and fauna included the predatory ronk.
Cilpar was liberated from the Galactic Empire by Rogue Squadron. The planet was held by the Empire when Rogue Squadron set up a base in the mountains west of the capital, Kiidan, after the Battle of Endor. A simple mission turned deadly when they ran into a TIE Fighter ambush. After a long battle, Moff Boren Tascl and Governor Norquest were overthrown.
It later became a hiring ground for mercenaries. Lando Calrissian tried to hire the Soskin Guard there.

CHICAGO (CNN) – A Chicago police officer says he shot and killed a black man this week after the man twice pointed a weapon at him, but so far investigators have not found the weapon, authorities say.
Police are investigating the death of the man — identified by his family as Kajuan Raye, 19 — which comes after months of heavy scrutiny of the Chicago Police Department over cases of alleged overreach in officer-involved shootings.
"We were not able to locate a weapon (of Raye's) as of yet," Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters Thursday. "There's still many unanswered questions and we are working diligently to find those answers."
The shooting
Police say a sergeant was called to an intersection near Ogden Park on the city's south side late Wednesday about a report of a "battery in progress."
When the sergeant approached a man who he says matched the description of a suspect, the man — who turned out to be Raye — ran, and the sergeant chased him, police say.
"The sergeant then told investigators that the offender turned and pointed a weapon in the direction of the sergeant on two separate occasions during the pursuit," Johnson said.
The sergeant shot the man, killing him, Johnson said.
Investigators searched the area overnight, but they have not found the weapon that the man is alleged to have had, the superintendent said.
Police have not released the sergeant's name. He will be taken off patrol and placed on administrative duties for at least 30 days, as is routine for officers involved in a shooting while it is reviewed, police said.
Video taken by two surveillance cameras outside a church shows Raye running and the officer chasing him out of the cameras' view, CNN affiliate WLS reported. The footage does not show the shooting.
Raye's family: We've hired lawyers
Raye's relatives said he did not own a gun, WLS reported.
Raye, of Dolton, just south of Chicago, was a "fun-loving and happy kid who had a bright future," his relatives said in a statement released by a family representative, WLS reported.
Raye's family is "heartbroken that their son is dead at the hands of a police officer who does not value the sanctity of life of black males," the statement reads. "As a city we continue to struggle with police who are afraid of and have deep seeded prejudices against black youth.
"The family has retained a very competent law firm to investigate, get answers and hold accountable this officer and Chicago Police Department."
Chicago police under fire over shootings
Raye's death comes more than two years after the shooting by Chicago police of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, a case that spurred reforms and protests and helped fuel a national conversation about police officers' use of deadly force.
McDonald's death in October 2014 went largely unacknowledged until a judge ordered the department to release dashboard-camera footage that contradicted officers' accounts of the shooting.
Just before the video was released in November 2015, Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder in the McDonald case; he pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial. He was the first Chicago officer charged with first-degree murder since 1980.
The superintendent of police at the time of the McDonald shooting, Garry McCarthy, was fired by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel this year, and the Independent Police Review Authority, the agency charged with investigating police-involved shootings, is being overhauled.
Years of mistrust
Emanuel created a Police Accountability Task Force in response to public outcry for accountability and transparency after the release of the McDonald shooting video.
In April, a report from the task force said police "have no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color" and have alienated blacks and Hispanics with the use of force and a longstanding code of silence.
During the past eight years, 74% of people killed or injured by Chicago police officers were African-American, the report said.
The task force, which included five Chicagoans who have been leaders in the justice system, found that 72% of people stopped by Chicago police in 2014 were African-American, and 17% were Hispanic.
To address the slew of systemic issues within the police department, the task force recommended nearly 100 changes. Emanuel has announced the implementation of nearly one-third of those recommendations, including replacing the Independent Police Review Authority with an agency that has "more independence."

Automakers unveiled Brazil's first mini-car on Friday, a super-compact to be built here for export to the United States as a solution to parking and fuel supply problems.
It's the Obvio – Portuguese for obvious. Designed and built in Brazil, it seats three on a single seat and will be sold in California starting next year, the government news agency Radiobras said.
"Obvio has a US$700 million contract with the American group ZAP to export 50,000 cars a year," Wagner Victer, the Rio de Janeiro state Secretary of Energy, said in a statement at the car's first showing Friday.
The company also plans to export the Obvio to Europe and Asia, gradually raising production to around 80,000 units a year, company President Ricardo Machado told Radiobras.
The Obvio will come in two models, a sporting style and a city version, that will sell for US$14,000 and US$28,000, the agency said.
Both will be "flex-fuel" cars, able to run on either gasoline or pure ethanol, which powers many Brazilian cars. Despite its small size, the Obvio will be equipped with a high-performance, 1.6-liter engine of 115, 170 or 250 horsepower.
The Obvio will be presented to U.S. consumers at the San Francisco auto show on Oct. 19, Machado said.
The Obvio won't initially be available in Brazil. The local market is dominated by Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford and Fiat, which manufacture cars here, although other automakers are allowed to import and sell cars.

How Lancaster University Shaped my Novel
"I thought about how the seeds that Lancaster planted weren't all immediate and were wider than what the Religious Studies degree led to and enabled me to do. This is also true of my writing which has just come to fruition after 25 years. I finished my first set of novels whilst at Lancaster and send them off to be published as I graduated with a favourable response. I disguised them in academic folders!
Parallel Spiral's prototype was also begun in a student room in County College. In many ways, it owes little to the story I'm sending out into the world, but the title and one of the themes came from this era of my life. And Lancaster does get a little mention from page 18. I met and fell in love with Norwich my current home and the novel's setting whilst at Lancaster. It was here that I was introduced to Hegel's thesis, antithesis, synthesis which is at the heart of my novel for I see that model applying to dramatic tension and our own lives.
Implicitly too the encouragement I received during and beyond my first degree from Linda Woodhead has been an adjunct, including the independence she commended me on which led to self publishing. You can read here why I chose to do so.
So again, I'm seeing how seeds planted, perhaps without full knowledge, shape how we grow and are part of what we reap many years on.

A computer simulation projected that China could land forces on Taiwan, but they would be repulsed after two weeks of fierce fighting and harsh losses to both sides, according to Taiwan's military. The complex simulation involved a scenario of China invading the island, 100 miles off its coast, in 2012, AP reported. In the simulation, Chinese ships ferry forces to the island, backed by heavy missile barrages and pinpoint air strikes on Taiwanese military bases and other strategic facilities. After two weeks of fierce fighting, Taiwan's army corners and destroys the mainland Chinese invaders. Taiwanese Lt. Gen. Hsu Tai-sheng said the simulation highlighted shortcomings in the island's military preparedness. Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949, but Beijing considers Taiwan Chinese territory. The computer scenario was based on China's repeated threats to attack if Taiwan ever tries to formalize its de facto independence.

Wardrobe perfection. Something I strive for. The idea of always having something to wear. Always liking what's in your closet and always effortlessly feeling stylish. Even on those mornings where we don't have the time.
Does wardrobe perfection exist? Is it possible? I think so. How do you get there? Well, I do know the first step is being able to know how to define your personal style. Without this basic foundation, I don't think there's a way you can build a wardrobe that is happy and perfect.
Do you know your personal style? I have a pretty solid idea of my own but there are still times where something inspires me that doesn't meet my personal style and makes me question it a little. Or I make an impulse purchase outside my style and never wear it. But, for the most part, having a pretty good idea of my personal style has helped me build a closet so far where I always have something to wear that makes me feel good.
Defining our personal styles is tough. And it's not assigning yourself to a strict box of style. It's knowing what you like, what fits in with your style, and what you'll actually wear.
So, how do you define it? Today I'm sharing four tips to help you define your personal stle. It takes time. It's a process. Let's start!
How to Define Your Personal Style
Get to know your closet
Wear your closet. Wear what you already own. For a month, two, three. Don't purchase anything in this time. Don't shop and especially don't online shop. Look for inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram. Take notes on what you see and what you're wearing.
As you wear your clothes, make a section of your favorite clothes, what you wear. What are the similarities? Are there clearly colors, patterns, styles you like wearing more than others? At the end of a month you'll be able to very clearly see what you like and what you don't.
Make lists and Make a Mood board
Make a list of what would be in your dream closet. If money didn't matter, you were able to start from scratch, what would you buy? You'll find even more similarities in colors, styles, hems, items.
For me, it was pastels, whites, simple lines, few patterns, comfort, pants, t-shirts, button ups, some floral, practical shoes.
Now make a mood board for yourself! Go to Pinterest, save images of things that inspire you for the season to a board. You'll see color patterns and similarities in the images you choose.
Define your style with words
Choose three words that describe your clothes. Here are some to choose from:
Minimal Classic Bohemian Feminine Over the top
Whimsical Casual Colorful Vintage Eclectic Fancy
Mine? Minimal, classic, casual. I say three because more than that might be too wide of a scope. You can have more if that's the case, but try to narrow it to two or three main ones and then you can have a couplee secondary styles.
Choose a color palette
A color palette helps your closet stay cohesive. By now, you should have a pretty good sense of the colors you like to wear. Going through your closet gave you this sense of what colors you wear. Now choose three main colors, two secondary, and colors you like to wear here and there. I call them extra colors. Mine are:
Main: Blue, White, Black
Secondary: Green, Pink
Extra: Grey, Tan
That sums it up! Four tips I have for those of you looking to better define your personal style and start building a dream wardrobe. One where you always have something to wear and always like what you're wearing. One that is effortless and chic and exactly what you've dreamed of.

Hell even if Nubia isn't the main character she could definitely be a great main cast member, say there is a Fury daughter of Wonder Woman show Nubia could show up as a main character to help train her niece in Amazonian ways. Of course Nubia getting her own show would be just as cool.

Question: Dear Luise: I am writing to you about the problem I am having with my son's in-laws. They are Spanish as my children were born and brought up in Spain and my d-in-law is Spanish and her parents live, just around the corner from us!! Well the big problem concerns their attitude about our grandson, they want him all to themselves… They have that joy all summer long with not one invite to us to go and see him… So recently we looked after grandson (almost 2) – I have done most of baby-sitting since he was only 2mths old! Anyhow, they phoned us on last day of 5nights babysitting with us, and d-in-laws mother asked my husband to bring baby over to hers…he said , no we're having paella for the 4 of us (my daughter of 23 and us) she phoned again and said she'd invite him toa vermouth if he brought him round! Then eventually another phone call and said her younger son was coming to pick him up! so she got her own way, and they got to receive my son and dil when they arrived back from long journey, We lost out on that and my Spanish husband told my son that and that it was a shame…. now grandson's birthday is due and they'll all be there! How do I react and how do I get her to change?? Hoping you can help me, I'm British, so it¡s all v. difficult and frustrating for me, my son doesn't like bad atmospheres and just said to my husband , What's the long face for when he saw my look at the dil….we had such a lot of work , but happy to do it as long as we are the carers (not her mother this time!) HELP? thank you, M.
Answer: Dear M.: Your son's MIL is not going to change. That's how she is. She insisted over and over again that she get to have the baby and just kept hammering until she got her own way. It's probably been something she has done all of her life and everyone is used to it.
No one took a stand with her and said "No!" when she said she was sending her son to pick the baby up. She rules the roost and it doesn't look like either your husband or you son is going to take her on. You can't. Not without back up. If you try…you may be ostracized and not be allowed to see the baby at all.
The woman is a spoiled child who never grew up. And it looks to me like you are stuck with her. The only chance I can see for you to find any peace is to try to understand her and make her your friend. It won't be easy or pleasant but it's not impossible. Let her know she's that boss always and follow her orders. You deserve so much better and you can go for it if you choose to, but/and there will be dire consequences.
Your son made a choice that is affecting you adversely. Find a way to survive that will work for them…they do not care whether it works for you or not. If you can't stand it…remove yourself from it in one way or another but know you will go on without your grand kids and probably without your son. It's time to call it what it is; blackmail. Blessings, Luise

Breathing Too Much is Actually Breathing Too Little
By Dr. Uri Kenig, Ph.D.
Over breathing
It's a day after the election and no matter what the results are, we are all breathing with a sigh of relief that it's all over. Speaking about breathing, did you know that when you hold your breath for too long, your body becomes hungry for air, sending a message to the lungs to inhale larger amounts of air to compensate for the air deprivation? When we find ourselves constantly holding our breath for too long, many times a day for long periods of time, we might be under a lot of stress. The lungs will try to bring in as much air as it can via inhalation mainly from the mouth causing the lungs to have a difficult time processing all of the air. The more air you inhale, the less your body is receiving, starting a new habit of OVER BREATHING. Before too long, this new habit becomes a feeding ground for the formation of all kinds of breathing difficulties, stemming from the oxygen not reaching the entire body.

Network Working Group T. O'Sullivan Request for Comments: 158 Raytheon NIC: 6768 19 May 1971 TELNET Protocol This request for comment is being circulated by the TELNET committee to solicit comments, evaluation, and requests for modification of the proposed protocol presented here. Unless comments are received by the writer within two weeks of the date of this RFC, they will not be considered in the preparation of official TELNET PROTOCOL document. The proposed document is the result of the work of the committee. It represents a TELNET protocol felt to be adequate for initial implementation. Readers are referenced to the following previous releases of information: 1. Conventions for Using an IBM 2741 Terminal or a User Console for Access to Network Server HOSTS Joel Winett, RFC 110 (NIC #5809) 2. Response to RFD 110 Wayne Hathaway, RFC 135 (NIC #6712) 3.

O'Sullivan for the TELNET Committee Will Crowther BBN Bob Long SDC John Melvin SRI-ARC Bob Metcalfe Harvard Ed Meyer MAC Tom O'Sullivan (Chairman) Raytheon Joel Winett MIT-LL T. O'Sullivan [Page 2] RFC 158 TELNET PROTOCOL 19 May 1971 Telnet Protocol TELNET is a third-level protocol, the function of which is to make a terminal (or process) at a using site appear to the system or a process at a serving site as logically equivalent to a terminal "directly" connected to the serving site. In performing this function, the protocol attempts to minimize the amount of information each HOST must keep about the characteristics of other HOSTS. Definitions Protocol Levels (see Figure 1) Level 1 HOST-IMP protocol specified by BBN in NIC 5735, Specifications for the Interconnection of a HOST and an IMP (BBN Report 1822) Level 2 HOST-HOST protocol performed by NCPs as described in Document Number 1 (NIC 5413) and subsequent amendments, see RFC 107 (NIC #5806) One view of the NCP's function is that it takes information from the net and routes it to receiving processes via mechanisms internal to each HOST; conversely, processes use the NCP, via internal system calls, to have information routed to other processes in the net (via the other processes' NCPs). Level 3 (see Figure 2) Level 3 is, by definition, the place to which and from which the NCP communicates internally in its own host. This level may be equivalent to the user process level in some systems, but this may not be the case in all systems. In using sites, the TELNET process operates at this level. In serving sites, the TELNET server operates at this level. Initial Connection Protocol (ICP) An agreed-upon sequence of level 3 exchanges between two processes which is, in general, used to synchronize the connection dialogue between the processes, e.g., RFC 80 (NIC #5608) #1, as revised by subsequent information. T. O'Sullivan [Page 3] RFC 158 TELNET PROTOCOL 19 May 1971 Serving Site The HOST into which the TELNET process is directing the user's keyboard input and from which the TELNET process is receiving control information and data effecting the user's terminal.

Middlesex County Workers' Comp Attorneys
Proudly serving all of New Jersey
Handling Workers' Compensation Cases in Middlesex County
When a worker is injured on-the-job in Middlesex County, workers' compensation applies to cover medical bills, help make up for lost wages, and pay disability benefits if the injury leaves the worker unable to do his or her job. A workplace injury may be due to an accident caused by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations, negligence, or oversight.
In addition to workers' compensation, an injured worker may have a claim against a product manufacturer, motorist, or party other than the employer (known as a "third party"). Whether you're navigating the workers' compensation system or wondering whether any third-party claims relate to your case, the experienced personal injury lawyers at Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C. can help.
Types of Workers' Comp Benefits
Workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance system that covers certain costs related to on-the-job injuries in New Jersey. In order to qualify, a worker's injury must be "arising out of and in the course of" his or her employment, and the worker must be employed by an employer required to purchase workers' compensation insurance in New Jersey.
Benefits that workers' compensation provides include the below:
- Payments for medical bills related to the injury. These include the costs of emergency services, surgery, hospitalization, and prescriptions, if the worker needs these. The employer generally may choose the physician, unless an emergency exists or the employer refuses to provide medical treatment.
- Temporary total disability benefits to cover part of a worker's lost wages if he or she cannot work for more than seven days. These benefits are generally capped at 70 percent of a worker's average weekly wage, but they cannot go above 75 percent of the statewide average weekly wage - or below 20 percent of the statewide average.
- If a worker suffers a permanent, partial disability, permanent partial disability benefits are available. These are frequently paid in situations where an accident or injury results in the loss of some body part or function - for instance, when a worker loses a finger in a machinery accident. These benefits begin when temporary total disability benefits end.
- If you are unable to work at all, permanent total disability benefits may help you meet the costs of daily living. These are initially granted for 450 weeks, but may be renewed if you are still unable to work.

Georgia Politics, Campaigns, and Elections
Avondale Estates will hold a Special Election for Mayor on March 17, 2015 following the resignation of former Mayor Ed Rieker. The next Mayor will serve the balance of the term, which ends December 31, with an election to a full term to be held in November. Architect Paul Brown was the first candidate to qualify and more candidates may qualify between now and Friday. From Decaturish.com,
We're a very small city and with the development of the multi-use project and the issue of annexation, it's going to change the perception of our city," Brown said. "It will certainly set a standard."
Brown said if he is elected he will work to enhance the city's quality of life.
"My first priority is learning what the city's priorities are as far as what the residents are concerned about, and adding to the quality of life," he said.
Rieker, the dynamic and sometimes controversial former mayor, resigned in October with about one year left on his term to take a university teaching job. The former mayor is credited with bringing development into city's downtown, but his style of leadership also brought him into conflict with some longtime residents wary of change.
Mayor Pro Tem Terry Giager will not run for Mayor, retaining his Council seat instead. Disclaimer: I'm working for Paul Brown's campaign.
Johns Creek will hold Special Elections in November to fill the remaining terms of former City Council Members Brad Raffensperger and Kelly Stewart, who are in a runoff election for the House District 50 seat vacated by former State Rep. Lynne Riley. With Council Districts 2,4, and 6 up in the regular rotation, that will mean that four of six Council seats will be up in November.

Eggs and Issues
Yesterday, the Big Three of Governor Deal, Lt. Governor Casey Cagle and Speaker David Ralston all spoke out in favor of some form of increased funding for transportation infrastructure. From Kathleen Foody at the Associated Press:
In his most outspoken comments yet on the issue, Deal said he backs increased funding for "strategic transportation investments" and promised more detail in his State of the State address on Wednesday afternoon. Deal later told reporters that lawmakers who are firmly positioning themselves against any new taxes or fees "need to understand that things do change" like the state's growing population.
"Changing circumstances require that you reevaluate, I think, your position on issues," Deal said.
Ralston warned that the debate "is not the time for naysaying."
"A fixation on the rhetoric of 'no' won't get us to the next level of greatness in Georgia," he said as the crowd of chamber officials and business representatives applauded.
Walter Jones of Morris News writes that no word has come yet on a source for additional funding.
Gov. Nathan Deal acknowledged the need for a spending boost and promised to make the case for it in Tuesday''s State of the State Address. Experts have estimated $1.5 billion in additional annual spending is needed to maintain existing roads, highways and bridges and that as much as $20 billion would be necessary for substantive improvements.
"A lot of options have been put on the table, but I think the important point we need to make at this time is to emphasize … we cannot persist in the manner in which we are currently operating," Deal told reporters. "The process of answering the final question of 'how are you going to generate that additional revenue' is really the process of debate in the General Assembly. Hopefully, I'll give them some general direction as I talk about it (today)."
Each speaker agreed on the need, but dodged the politically dicey question of raising taxes ‑ either a sales tax or the gasoline tax ‑ as has been listed as among the options laid out by a joint House-Senate study committee.
"I'm not certain what the final package will look like," said Ralston, R-Blue Ridge. "I'm sure we'll accept some options and reject others. But let me be clear on one point: Doing nothing is not an option."
In the Gainesville Times, Jeff Gill writes of some of the options that are on the table.
[Deal] referred to the legislative Joint Study Committee on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Funding, which released a 23-page report Dec. 30 suggesting funding options for lawmakers to consider this session.
Options include a 1-cent statewide sales tax that would generate some $1.4 billion per year; increasing Georgia's motor fuel tax, which has not been increased since 1971; and establishing an annual road usage fee for alternative fuel vehicles.
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said inaction isn't just a "political talking point."
"I am confident … we can finally address the problem with real, concrete solutions," he said.
I wonder if the phrase "concrete solutions" was taken as a victory by the concrete lobby and a devastating blow to asphalt.
WABE notes that Gov. Deal also discussed a potential film academy to integrate the Technical College System of Georgia and the Universities to meet the need for skilled workers in Georgia's booming film industry.
Deal said the academy will be a partnership between the state university system and the technical college system.
"Therefore, my budget recommendations this year will take a step to start the process. Georgia cannot afford for another state to do to us what we're doing to Hollywood," Deal said.
Deal said he'll also propose a plan to extend technical school tuition waivers to those going into the film industry. He said the state's growing movie business has created a need for set and costume designers and production assistants.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Millstone Grit
MILLSTONE GRIT, in geology, a series of massive sandstones, grits and conglomerates with alternate shales, the whole resting directly upon the Carboniferous Limestone or upon intervening shales (Yoredale, Limestone Shales), usually in stratigraphical continuity. Its occasional coal-seams show that conditions of coal-formation had already begun. In Great Britain its outcrop extends from the Bristol Coalfield through South and North Wales to its fullest development in the north-midland counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and thence to Scotland, where the Roslin Sandstone of the Lothians and the Moor Rock of Lanark and Stirling are considered its equivalents. Characterized by grits and sandstones of the same general type, though individually variable, as sandbanks formed on the shoaling of the Carboniferous sea, yet often persistent over wide areas, the formation, estimated as 5000 ft. thick in Lancashire, contains typically the following grits in descending order: First, or Rough Rock; second, or Haslingden Flags (Lancashire); third, or Chatsworth Grit (the last two being the Middle Grits of Yorkshire); fourth and fifth, or Kinderscout Grits and the Shale Grits. The first and third, the most persistent, are often coarse and pebbly, like the Kinderscout Grits. In the north of England these grits lose their identity. In South Wales the Millstone Grit, immediately succeeding the Carboniferous Limestone, consists of 450 ft. of grit and shale, its upper member being the massive pebbly Farewell Rock. It extends into the Bristol Coalfield, though not recognized in the Devonshire Culm. In Ireland certain grey grits and flags are assigned to it. In northern France and Belgium it loses its individuality and is merged in the Coal-measures. It reappears east of the Rhine, but is unrecognizable in the somewhat different Carboniferous succession of eastern Europe. In America the Pottsville Conglomerate, 1500 ft. thick in the south Appalachians, with workable coals, and widely unconformable upon the Mississippian, introduces the Pennsylvanian (Upper Carboniferous) system, and approximately represents the Millstone Grit of western Europe, as does the red conglomerate of Nova Scotia.
The shales of the Millstone Grit include thin beds of marine goniatites (Glyphioceras bilingue, Gastrioceras carbonarium), Pterinopecten papyraceus, and Lingula mytiloides, while the grits contain Lepidodendron, Stigmaria and calamities. In Scotland plants and estuarine fishes differ markedly above and below the Roslin Sandstone.
The English Millstone Grit produces a characteristic scenery of wild moorland plateaux, or alternations of shale-valleys and rugged grit-ridges. The grits furnish valuable building stones, and grindstones. They also afford an excellent water supply. (C. B. W.*)

It Takes a Village to Make a Handcrafted Rattan Bag.
You may have heard of that proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child." That's very true here in Bali. It means that your community helps to take care of, look out for, and ultimately contribute to the welfare of your children as they grow up.
What you may not have known is that it also takes a village, figuratively speaking but sometimes literally to create one of our rattan bags. Each bag is made, not by just one immensely talented individual, but many specialised in specific parts of the process.
First things first: While our bags are popularly referred to as "rattan bags" instead of ata grass bags, that is actually a misnomer as most of the time they are not made of the plant known as the rattan palm. In Bali, the plant material used to make our bags is a type of vine, known around these parts as "ata" (Ah-tah), or sometimes hata depending on where you're from. It's a type of climbing plant that is somewhat related to the fern family, found at the volcanic foothills in East Bali. This type of grass is known for being extremely durable and water resistant.
Regardless of what they're called, they all share one thing in common:
Lygodium circinnatum.
The Balinese people have long used the leaf ribs and stalk of the ata plant as a source for making ropes, but since the development of synthetic materials, they now primarily use the material to weave baskets and other wares. Demand for the resource in fact has been so high that other regions in Indonesia such as parts of Java have been able to export ata vines to Bali so that the skilled artisans here have a steady supply of raw material for them to ply their craft.
The process of making the bags is very time-consuming. The ata vines have to be properly conditioned, and then they are woven into shape, a process that could take one skilled artisan a month to make just one bag.
People in their homes would help wind young, flexible, thinner ata fibers around sturdier ata strands to form the basic long, ropelike building material for the baskets.
Other people may then weave these materials into various shapes. Each person may be skilled in making specific pieces. For example, some people may specialize in making rectangular sheets, some others may excel at making ovals and end pieces, yet others are really good at making buttons and ribbon fasteners, and so forth.
Component parts assembly into the final ata bag
These component pieces are eventually assembled together to make a handbag. But we're not done yet! The bags still have to go through several more steps before they're ready for you.
Assembled ata baskets are sanitized and disinfected
The bags are boiled in water, an essential process in making sure they are properly disinfected of any mold or fungus that may have been on the plant material. They are dried in the sun for a few days.
Ata baskets are smoked and cured in an oven for 24 hours
After the bags have dried, they are then cured and smoked in an oven to condition and strengthen them, as well as imparting that lovely brown patina finish. This is also why the bags may have some of that lingering smoky aroma that I happen to find very pleasant. (It's okay if you don't, just leave the bag to air out for a few days. The scent will eventually fade.)
For the finishing touch, the cloth lining is sewn and attached to the bag. We like to showcase Indonesian materials and traditional batik patterns, though I think mixing and matching other textiles such as Ikat or just simple cotton works exceptionally well too.
The finished product, with batik lining and leather strap attached
The whole process from start to finish takes a very long time, we're talking weeks or maybe even months for some shapes.
In the end, the fruits of their efforts are very well worth the long, arduous process. Each bag is unique, beautiful, stylish, fun and is very sturdy and well made.
We hope that this information has given you some more insight into our products, and also convey to you the extreme pride we have in bringing them to you.
Matur suksma, Terima kasih, Thank you!

I looked through the tags and didn't see it posted. I've given it to a few people and they all love it.
2 cups Flour (I use whole wheat)
1 tsp Salt (I use sea-salt...since I live by the sea)
2 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup Water
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (or Sunflower, Olive, whatever you have.)
Mix the dry, add the wet, knead. Spread out in your pizza pan and top with your favourites!
Bake 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on thickness of crust, but 20 minutes is a good start. If adding cheese I usually add it during the last 5 minutes of cooking avoid any burning
I make this kind of a lot...we top with tomatoes, onions, garlic, cheese, brinjal...pretty much anything. My fussy child loves it!!
I'm looking for a good baked donut recipe. I'm looking for more of a cake type donut instead of the bread-y stuff. I don't have access to egg replacer as a pre-packaged item but I can get, applesauce, agar agar, yogurt, vinegar, stuff like that. Anything too gourmet just isn't going to be available here in Mauritius :((

Saturday, February 24, 2-4 pm
Freeport Historical Society, 45 Main Street
Do you remember Freeport Village forty, fifty or sixty years ago? Local residents Brad Snow, Jane Chiarini Grant, and Polly Brann and are planning a February afternoon revisiting Main Street from Kendall's Corner to Summer Street and surrounding east and west neighborhoods. Where did you live? Who were your neighbors? Exactly where did those houses go? Join the fun as we reconnect and fondly reminisce about growing up in Freeport. In case of inclement weather, the event will take place on Sunday, February 25.

As a lifelong fan of Krispy Kreme here in Florida (and a favorite location in Spartanburg, South Carolina that was always a must-stop while in route to the NC mountains), I was thrilled to see this post. I think I'm a sucker for donut shops. There used to be a Mr. Donut in Bradenton, Florida on Tamiami Trail that had a great vintage sign and a zig-zag roofline (why don't they make those anymore?!). The donut shop is gone, but I think the remnants of the building may still be there.
I was one of those that would always spin the bar stools as much as I could get away, always sneaking in a slow-spin approach after being scolded to still get the effect obviously intended by the designers of the stool!
And if you were to insert the words, "station wagon" where you wrote mini-van, your description could have been right out the the 1960s!
Thank you for this posting. I looove Maple Donuts and have been trying to get my husband to join me on a pilgrimage to their awesome retro shop in York. Your photos and commentary sealed the deal.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen hundreds of thousands of white-collar Manhattanites engage in working from home – one that appears to be a permanent trend, and something many could've not predicted earlier this year.
Days ago, Microsoft allowed some of its employees to work remotely on a "permanent" basis, setting a precedent for other technology companies to follow.
However, four technology companies – Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google – who have told employees to work remotely until the first half of 2021, are also acquiring office space in Manhattan as the commercial real estate market sags.
NYT reports these four tech companies "are all significantly expanding their footprint in the city, giving it a badly needed vote of confidence." This is happening as new coronavirus cases in the US are nearing 60,000 again, driven by infections in the Midwest and other areas of the country – and many office workers in Manhattan have yet to be called back to their workstations.
After Amazon abandoned plans for a new headquarters in Queens, the e-commerce giant has acquired nearly 2 million square feet of office space for corporate employees in the city, along with warehouse space in Staten Island, Queens, and the Bronx.
In March, just weeks after nationwide lockdowns, Amazon purchased the Lord & Taylor building for around 1 billion dollars, enough space to hold 2,000 employees. In total, the company has eight office properties scattered across the city, with many situated in Midtown.
Here are the areas where Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google have recently bought or leased commercial space in NYC.
Big tech is making a risky bet on NYC commercial estate amid the virus-induced downturn that has crushed the city's local economy. Many offices across Manhattan are deserted and likely not to return workers until sometime in 2021. Commercial real estate firm CBRE, who manages roughly 20 million square feet in the city, said approximately 12% of office workers in Manhattan had returned back to work.
As some say, "strike while the iron is hot" – and that is precisely what big tech companies are doing – they're acquiring some of the highest quality office spaces on the market for a fraction of the price. As we noted in August, top property owners in the city are begging companies to return their employees to work because remote working has stalled the recovery.
NYT points out, while NYC commercial real estate sours, "Apple, Amazon, and Facebook have gobbled up more than 1.6 million square feet of office space since the start of the year, most of which was leased or bought during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, Google added about 1.7 million square feet of office space as part of a corporate campus rising along the Hudson River in Manhattan."
This year alone, the four big tech companies have hired 2,600 employees in the city, bringing their total to 22,000. Facebook has added 1,100 workers, with nearly a 4,000 workforce in the town.
All of this new office space added this year supports more than 15,000 new employees that could be added over the next couple of years.
"The big takeaway here is that New York will always be a tech hub," said William Floyd, director of external affairs for Google's New York offices, which has about 9,000 workers, more than half of whom are engineers.
For big tech executives, their expansion into NYC is happening at the city's darkest periods for commercial real estate.

It started back in Italy in 1956 when Paul Rosatone was only a teenager. He would make furniture for his family's home with nothing more than a few hand tools. With his dream of building homes, he sailed to Canada and eventually settled in North Vancouver. During the day Paul worked in construction and at night he went to school, all while starting a family. Working hard he finally achieved his dream and in 1972 Rosato Construction was created. Seeing and sharing this same passion his son-in–law Randy Ignatieff followed in his footsteps. After attending British Columbia Technical Institute Randy started Ellason Signature Homes, a name which reflects the names of his wife and sons.
Randy is dedicated to the same quality and integrity as Paul, and although Paul is an integral part of Ellason Signature Homes Randy will be your hands on builder who is on site daily ensuring meticulous quality on every step of the building process.
At Ellason Signature Homes we take pride in building homes and that is why we will never build more than two custom homes at one time. Our attention is to you and your home.
