Based on New York State law, employers must have compensation to cover their employees, and you have only a limited set of exceptions to this rule. As the employer, you must keep workers' compensation to cover all the employees on the job. This includes the family members and employees that you have working on the job. We're going to look at the penalties for not having workers' compensation as well as the reasons that make this a good idea.
When you receive penalties from the New York Workers' Compensation Board, it can feel quite daunting and even scary. The penalties range anywhere from criminal liability to significant monetary fines. Even worse, you could receive an order that forces you to close your business. When you receive a notice, you must take action immediately because the consequences can be real. Having a lawyer to handle these circumstances are essential if you want to receive the best results.
Based on Section 52-5, employers could face fines that reach as high as $2,000 for every 10-day period that you were non-compliant. You don't have to think too hard to realize this can add up fast, and you must take action to protect your life savings and your business.
When you look at Section 52-1, you see how non-compliance can lead to criminal consequences. For example, an employer who had fewer than five employers might face a misdemeanor and a fine of between $1,000 to $5,000. These fines compound with the ones from Section 52-5. For employers who had more than five employees, they could even face a Class E Felony, which could be a fine of anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000, and this doesn't include the fines from Section 52-5. Any subsequent violations will result in a Class D Felony, and they will face fines of no less than $10,000 but no higher than $50,000.
The New York Workers' Compensation Board has the right to issue a Stop Work Order to all businesses that fail to remain compliant. Based on Section 141-a, this could sound the death knell of a business.
Based on Section 51-1, employers who have misrepresented their payroll records could face as much as a $2,000 fine for every 10 days that they failed to be compliant with it. In addition, this can lead to criminal convictions that become a separate punishment.
Any employer who doesn't conspicuously post the C-105 form could have to pay additional fines that can reach as high as $250. When an employer doesn't keep accurate payroll records, this can be a huge mistake that will cost him or her big. In fact, the employer could have to pay $1,000 for each 10-day period where they didn't keep an accurate record. This could also turn into criminal liability.
Through Section 141-b, the employers who have filed to remain compliant with workers compensation coverage won't be allowed to do public works projects. Certain types of businesses can especially run into problems with this because doing such work might make up a large part of their business, which can have devastating consequences if you relied on that type of work.
The consequences can be even more devastating if an employer failed to have workers' compensation when an employee was injured. The employer will face legal fees and damages related to medical. In addition, the employee could decide to file a lawsuit that could be further damaging to the business.
If the Workers' Compensation Board of New York has issued you a fine, judgment, or penalty, you should read through the notice carefully, but you should never respond to it in a way that will damage your case or make an admission. Instead, you should hire a lawyer immediately who has full knowledge over how to deal with these cases.
Lawyers have the ability to help through lowering the penalty against you. You have many cases of business owners who hired a competent lawyer, and they had the penalty lowered in a big way based on a technicality. If you have spent your whole life building up a business, you shouldn't allow for New York State to take it away. As a small business owner who wears many hats and tries to keep the cost down, you absolutely must have a lawyer. That lawyer can save you thousands of dollars in fines and penalties.

Strogili is an old village in the inland of the island, built during the 16th century by Cretan colonists which were brought to the island by the Venetians in order to increase its population. It is built at the foot of the mountain of Panagia, in a verdant location, above the settlement of Agios Ioannis Peristeron.
It was in Strogili that the poet of the Ionian Islands School, Gerasimos Markoras, lived the greater part of his life. In the village, his ancestral home still remains intact with furniture and his personal items, such as his office and many manuscripts.
In the region of Kanavia, at the old well of the village, are where, all the cultural events of Strogili take place. Such is the festival of Agioi Pantes celebrated in June. Near the well you will be able to admire a very old olive tree with a perimeter of about 13 meters, and its age is estimated to be 2.500 years old.
Strogili is at a distance of about 18 kilometers from the city of Corfu. In order to swim, the beach of Agios Ioannis Peristeron is close by and so is Moraitika beach.

It's an open secret that BRYMO lovers will follow him to the ends of the earth if need be; and so it's not really news that Terra Arena was packed out last night. But then, there's something else. The crowd was slightly different from the #OrganisedChaos crowd. There were scatterings of expatriates and more than a good number of 'over 40s'; but great music is a leveler as we all grooved, yelled, danced and sang along.
How @BrymOlawale Served It All At #OragnisedChaos
Electric. That's the word that comes to mind when I think about BRYMO's performance at his concert yesterday. There was a time the Nigerian music audience was sold the lie that a music concert without a thousand mile long list of supporting acts, comedy intermissions and whatever else won't give the concert goer the ultimate experience, but BRYMO keeps putting that ridiculous theory to shame.

Admit it, at least once in your life time you've pulled an allnighter to study for an exam you had the next day, or those blogs you waited last minute to do…again 🙁 I see snaps from penn states campus story on snapchat of people doing all nighters at the library. Is it truly worth it though? How much does it affect a college students life if they lose a nights sleep? Lets find out 🙂
According to the national institute of health they say the people that are the most sleep deprived are us of course, the college students. "Research at Brown University has found that approximately 11% of students report good sleep, while 73% report sleep problems. " On average adults should get around eight to ten hours, but do most college students succeed with that…not really. Instead we tend to get 6, maybe even less due to things like sports, work, and studying. These statistics don't really surprise me as much, because we're trying to balance out sleep between school and social time. Its very hard to get all three things perfect. I wonder what nights college students had the most sleep issues, in the beginning, middle, or towards the end. Would that change the statistics about the number of hours and the sleep problems.
There are whole bunch of negative effects that sleep deprivation can have on us. For instance our immune system can mess up make us feel shitty. For example when we get a cold, and then out of no where it turns into the flu 🙁 I hate when that happens to me, because it makes me more miserable than I already was. Our mood is another negative that can be caused by a sleepless night . When we don't get enough sleep , we are cranky and don't really care for anything. Our mood from a sleepless night can make us miss out on what the teacher said. Memory is shot just like that and won't be back to normal until we sleep again
Our appearance looks different as well when us college kids don't get enough beauty sleep. There was this one study done by researcher Tina Sundelin, M.SC who did a correlation study that dealt with participants looking at pictures. There were 40 participants altogether and they had to look at 20 photos. Ten of the photos were of people that had slept for more than required 8 hours of sleep. The other set was of people that didn't sleep at all during the 24 hour cycle. After looking at the photos they had to describe the folks in the picture. The participants said the ones who got no sleep had bags under their eyes, skin almost like a ghost, ect. One of things I wish they mentioned was the categories for the twenty photos. Was it a mix of kids from freshman to Senior year the participants looked at in the photos or were they all from one class.
From now on I will try to make an effort to making a habit of going to bed at an earlier time. Also I need to stop doing homework till the very last minute. That's one of the reasons I stay up too late.
Also here's a picture I found that relates to my topic of college and sleep

Eye singer-songwriter to support Ed Sheeran at massive homecoming gigs
PUBLISHED: 09:11 02 August 2019
A singer-songwriter who hails from Eye has been named as one of three local acts chosen to support Suffolk superstar Ed Sheeran at his homecoming concerts this month.
Bessie Turner has been handed the chance to perform in front of tens of thousands at the global star gigs at Ipswich's Chantry Park.
The 26-year-old, has previously headlined the BBC Introducing Stage at the Reading and Leeds festivals and performed at Latitude, said she was "completely overwhelmed" by the news.
"I am so happy to be part of it," she said. "It is quite an amazing thing that is happening - I think it is going to be something that goes down in history."
Ed Sheeran, who lives in the Framlingham area, had asked BBC Introducing in Suffolk, the radio show in the early stages of his career, to nominate a trio of artists to open on August 23, 24 and 25, the first three of four nights he is performing at Chantry Park.
The show's presenters, Richard Haugh and Angelle Joseph, selected the cream of the crop from local acts, who submitted their music via the BBC Introducing Uploader.
Bessie's music style has been described as eclectic, and draws inspiration from a range of big names, from MIA to Dionne Warwick.
Her debut single, Big Sleep, was released on her own label in April 2017, and streamed more than 10,000 times in 12 hours. She released her first EP, 22:22, in 2018.
The singer-songwriter said she is excited to support Suffolk's biggest superstar - but hasn't yet got her head around performing on such a huge stage.
"I have met Ed a couple of times before," she added. "I have kind of followed his career from when he was doing music as a teenager."
Bessie recently gained national recognition for her efforts to tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness. Last year she posted a picture of herself crying on Instagram, alongside a message encouraging people to reach out to their friends and family about their mental health.
She received an "overwhelming" response, with comments saying the post was "comfort for all who struggle".
The other local performers selected are Piers James, a hip hop artist from Ipswich, and teenage indie-rock band Salvador from Ed's home town of Framlingham.

Estate planning can be one of the best gifts you leave behind for friends and family. Not only can you decide what gifts you will leave your loved ones through estate planning, but having an estate plan in place usually saves family or friends time and money.
From a practical standpoint, here are the four estate planning documents that should be prepared before death: Last Will and Testament, a power of attorney for finances, a power of attorney for healthcare, and a living will.
Generally, the best estate plans are prepared by local attorneys. Documents that are prepared based upon information found online often cause more difficulties for friends and family post-death.

faculties governing performance of self
are being bypassed as technologies go
straight to the source, collecting the
data they need in order to make more
definitive presentations.
For example, although I thinkI have a fairly good grasp on mytaste in music, my Spotify "year inreview" report provides another viewbased on the hard data of the tracksplayed within my account (whichmight challenge my own subjectivedescription of what I like to listento). Even silly Internet quizzes thatare, it must be said, more than alittle reductive and often downrightridiculous, are presented with therhetoric of finding out who you reallyare (whether in this or a past life). Thepremise is that a series of carefullycrafted questions that might evenseem completely unrelated to thematter at hand can be used to dredgeup, psychoanalysis-style, the deepercontents of one's psyche that canthen be shared directly to Facebook.
This allows for that most intimate
confirmation of friendship: sharing
the results when you have, through the
help of a Playbuzz quiz, been shown the
nitty-gritty details of your true self [ 2].
So what does all this mean? Has all
the online identity play and lamenting
about how our online interactions are
less "real" and "authentic" perhaps
created a longing for things that are
incontrovertibly genuine? After
spending time as disembodied avatars,
do we long to hear heartbeats that
remind us there is, in fact, still a crucial
difference between circuits and flesh?
Do we need gadgets to tell us storiesabout ourselves to confirm our uniquepresence and identity in the world, tocount the things we do that might affirmthat our lives count for something?Although I don't know the answerto these questions, I do think they areworth asking. Because in designingtechnologies to address human needs,the needs and concerns ultimatelybeing addressed often go far deeperthan what is foregrounded by a typicaluse case. It might be said these deeperconcerns are of the heartfelt variety.

text: Equis ISSN 2398-2977 Equine infectious anemia (EIA) Synonym(s): EIA, Swamp fever Contributor(s): Christopher Brown, Susan Dawson, Melissa Kennedy, Prof Derek Knottenbelt, Ruth Morgan, Vetstream Ltd Introduction Pathogenesis Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Outcomes Introduction Widespread virus infection within relatively defined geographical areas transmitted by transfer of blood (especially by biting flies) or blood products. Cause: equine infectious anemia virus - a lentivirus which replicates and persists in tissue macrophages from where it is released intermittently to cause recurrent bouts of disease Equine infectious anemia virus. Signs: highly variable - acute, subacute, chronic and subclinical syndromes all resulting in progressive anemia. Diagnosis: clinical signs, hematologic changes, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or agar gel immunodiffusion test (Coggins test). Treatment: no specific treatment available. Prognosis: most recover from acute/subacute syndromes but all are permanently infected; many chronic cases die/euthanized; asymptomatic carriers common following subclinical infections. Carrier horses are of serious concern to State Veterinary Health Authorities, and is a notifiable disease in the US. In the UK, EIA is notifiable by law under the Infectious diseases of Horses Order 1987. Print off the Owner factsheet on Equine infectious anaemia - EIA to give to your clients. Pathogenesis Etiology EIA virus Equine infectious anemia virus - is a lentivirus of the retrovirus family which contains reverse transcriptase, allowing conversion of the viral RNA into complimentary DNA, which can be inserted into the host DNA and persist indefinitely. Predisposing factorsGeneral Presence of carrier animals. Low immunity to the disease (outside endemic areas). Stressors in carriers with subclinical infection. Specific Biting flies especially tabanids Biting and nuisance flies. Contaminated blood, needles, instruments. Pathophysiology Virus transmitted between horses by transfer of blood or blood products. Other transmission methods have also been suggested. Biting flies often involved. Iatrogenic, transplacental and colostral transmission can occur. Subclinical carrier animals act as an important source. Virus replicates in macrophages → released into circulation → recurrent bouts of pyrexia and disease. The virus is protected from the host's immune response whilst in the macrophages. Anemia is due to hemolysis of RBCs, to which IgG/IgM or complement is bound. Eventually post-immune responses are stimulated sufficiently to prevent bouts of viremia. Antigenic drift is probably the reason for undulant fever and episodes of disease. Disease may be eliminated or persist as a carrier infection. Carriers may be/are seropositive. Bone marrow suppression is also involved - possibly similar to the anemia of chronic inflammation. Replication of virus within macrophages of liver, spleen and lymph nodes → release into circulation → clearance by cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. Virus persists in macrophages and undergoes rapid antigenic variation allowing recurrent replication and release of large quantities of virus. When sufficient host immune response is stimulated recurrent bouts of disease cease. Necrotizing vasculitis Vasculitis affecting a variety of organ systems including heart, kidney and CNS may accompany infection. Lesions are attributable in part to immune-mediated tissue damage, eg immune complex deposition. Timecourse The first acute stage lasts from 103 days. The second chronic stage can last up to 12 months. The chronic subclinical stage can last indefinitely.

Products |Façade
Facade Engineering
Façades and building envelopes – which form the outer skins of buildings – project image and creative intent. Increasingly, they are also understood as important environmental moderators and key influencers in project risk and commercial success.
A thoughtfully designed skin can make a new building work more effectively for its owners, occupants and environment. It can also transform the performance of an existing building.
Sustainability is clearly a key issue in today's construction industry, and a well-designed facade used with the different products and combinations will help bring about a lower environmental impact in the future. An engineered façade for a sustainable building will help bring down energy costs and add to the lifespan of the building. Architects, façade designers and engineers are constantly on the lookout for new ways and products to improve a building's performance. Rain-screen assemblies, double-skin facades, rear-ventilated facades, and photovoltaic facades are becoming increasingly prevalent. The right choice of material for the building envelope, correct fabrication techniques, and the use of quality and high-performance façade systems are the key to ensure that the structures are protected from the outside elements and function at their best.

The non-appearance of the Shenyang FC-31 fighter at the recent Zhuhai Air Show is another indication that the type is failing to fulfill both technical and sales expectations. However, the aircraft's Russian Klimov/Sarkisov RD-93 engine was shown for the first time. This led some observers to believe that this was part of a joint Russian-Chinese initiative to sell the FC-31 to Pakistan, since the same engine powers the Chengdu JF-17/FC-1 fighter that China has co-developed with Pakistan.
Some Chinese industry officials said previously that the FC-31 would be a "breakthrough export program." But sources within the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) delegation at Zhuhai stated there is no realistic prospect of the service acquiring the FC-31 for now. "We need all of the resources that we have at the moment for the JF-17 program," said one PAF officer. "The FC-31 failed to make an appearance this year at Zhuhai as it did in 2012, which may be at least partially due to the fact that there are no near-term customers for it," said an Indian military aerospace analyst.
The FC-31's flying display during its debut at the 2014 Zhuhai airshow suggested that it was underpowered. Shortly thereafter, there was an announcement from Russian industry that the Klimov engine design bureau would develop an enhanced-thrust version of the RD-93 engine to correct that shortcoming. The current RD-93 is a reconfigured version of the Mikoyan MiG-29's RD-33 engine that has the accessory pack moved to the underside of the engine.
Meanwhile, Pakistan is focusing on how to improve the JF-17 by modifying the airframe and changing some of the onboard systems for more advanced options. One of these could be the replacement of the current Chinese-made NRIET KLJ-7A radar with another model, potentially even an AESA.
While China's military industry is trying to sell its products to foreign customers, its own air force continues to purchase front-line aircraft from Russia. The PLAAF has been trying to procure the Sukhoi Su-35 Super Flanker for more than 20 years. The deal that is in place now was agreed only after protracted negotiations. The contract that was finally signed was for 24 aircraft, a concession by the Russian side, which had initially insisted that the Chinese purchase at least 48 aircraft.
News from the Russian delegation at Zhuhai was that the first four Su-35s could be delivered by the end of this year. But, some Russian specialists at this year's show who are familiar with the subject were skeptical. Said one: "There is a concern that the Chinese purchase of the Su-35 is only so that their industry can gain access to the [NIIP] Irbis radar and the [Saturn/Lyulka 117S] engine, in order to copy them. This fear has never gone away and only continues to grow as the delivery date gets closer."
According to other members of the Russian delegation at Zhuhai, there are active efforts by Chinese industry to increase the resources that they devote to improving their own indigenous designs of both airborne radar sets and jet engines. Any subsequent effort to reverse-engineer the systems onboard the Su-35 will give a major boost to those efforts.
Some of the same Russian officials question whether China will ever become a major exporter of combat aircraft that are original designs, or if the country will continue to be dependent on a "technological umbilical cord" from Russia to sustain its innovation.

Josiane Peluso Shares How to Maintain a Positive Work-Life Balance
How to Balance a Professional Life and Your Mental Health
When working a full-time job and trying to uphold some kind of a hobby, many people realize that they are not able to accomplish everything that they would like. The reason why usually has nothing to do with their willingness, drive, or ambition. Instead, it tends to be the lack of hours in a day that they can use to pursue goals. Hence why a lot of workaholics and people who are passionate about something tend to lack sleep and proper rest.
Well, after a while, running on no sleep will become a very noticeable problem that will impact many brain functions. For instance, focusing is going to become difficult as the brain tries to reinforce the body's need to rest. After that, productivity levels will plummet, and the person's efficiency will be non-existent. Well, in order to avoid this scenario, it is crucial that the person learns how to maintain a proper work-life balance.
Create a Routine
Figuring out a detailed routine that has to be followed can help the body get used to a higher level of intensity. For instance, waking up early and going to bed late while spending north of twelve hours tirelessly working will be extremely taxing. If such pace is set and followed for weeks or months, however, the body will eventually build up a tolerance and find it much easier to handle day-to-day tasks. Additionally, doing the same types of things over and over reduces the element of surprise that could have an emotional impact on someone. This helps preserve their energy and channel it towards the most important engagements.
Figure Out Your Priorities
According to certified Health Education Specialist, Josiane Peluso, the first step towards outstanding multitasking talents involves proper prioritization. In other words, not knowing what someone values the most in their life will make it that much more difficult to come up with a solid plan for work-life balance. People should spend some time trying to decipher what their true desires are and how they can reach them.
For example, someone who may want to have a lucrative career is going to prioritize their job over most other aspects of their life. Similarly, those looking for fulfillment are probably going to dedicate the largest chunk of their time to things like helping others. Absent these types of inputs, however, it is impossible to properly quantify where each goal should go.
Find Technology That Can Help
Since the 21st century is the home to never-ending innovation that has given rise to countless technological advancements, it seems wasteful to not put them to use with one's work-life balance. In fact, most people who are working professionals will already have to possess a phone, computer, and so on. Fortunately, this means that they can also take advantage of these tools to make it easier on themselves by doing online scheduling, checking out their upcoming obligations, making last-minute changes, and similar. That way, the person will constantly be reminded of where they have to go next and the downtime should be minimized.
Get Enough Rest
When chasing dreams, many people fail to take a second and relax from the constant rush. And rightly so. Stopping would just consume valuable time that gets wasted while there are important tasks at hand. That is, at least, the most common rationalization that helps people explain their neglect of proper relaxation. Even though nobody can force a person to get some sleep, failing to advise them on it could quite literally cost them their life, depending on how extreme the situation gets.
Communicate Changes
Josiane Peluso also strongly advises that the person who is dealing with these issues discloses appropriate information to people affected by their mood swings and behavioral changes. In other words, calling in to notify everyone about the unexpected absence and the importance of a mental health day could help bring them onto the same page. After that, future communication might improve since there will be a very important element of inclusion and apparent trust.
Reward Yourself
Finally, creating minor milestones and decent rewards helps incentivize future satisfactory behavior. More importantly, it is an escape from the fact that someone might be dealing with an incredibly busy schedule or a tough living situation. Of course, these rewards should just be small tokens that help keep the person on track as they continue to juggle multiple responsibilities.
If, however, this proves to be insufficient, taking a long vacation might be warranted. After all, everyone eventually needs some time to themselves far away from the surroundings that are present during their everyday life. That way, they get to refuel and come back ready to tackle more tasks.

An important feature of any macro lens is the distance it allows between its front element and the photographic subject. This distance at full magnification is called the working distance. If it is too short, it may not only scare away your subject, but also cast a shadow on the scene.
The working distance w of a lens is determined by its minimum focus distance (MFD) dmin between sensor and subject, the camera's flange focal distance k between sensor and lens mount and the length of the lens barrel l between lens mount and front element as
|dmin – k – l
Note that if your lens extends for macro photography, you will have to use its maximum length. If you are using a lens extension tube, you will have to subtract its length as well.
For example, consider the macro lenses of the Micro Four Thirds system (figures rounded to full mm):
|flange focal distance
|working distance
|Olympus 30 mm f/3.5
|95 mm
|19 mm
|60 mm
|16 mm
|Lumix 30 mm f/2.8
|105 mm
|19 mm
|63 mm
|23 mm
|Leica 45 mm f/2.8
|150 mm
|19 mm
|62 mm
|69 mm
|Olympus 60 mm f/2.8
|190 mm
|19 mm
|82 mm
|89 mm
Obviously, a longer focal length allows for a much longer working distance. So does a longer focal length make a better macro lens?
If you are after butterflies in the wild or want to take photos of jewelry with natural light, it is certainly a good idea to use a longer focal length. Note that a telephoto lens with an extension tube may also work well in these cases.
However, a shorter focal length is much more versatile. in some fields such as medical photography where you have subjects of vastly different sizes and not enough space to step back, a long focal length may just be too long for larger subjects. So it depends on what you want to do.

DHS Sec John Kelly on appearing Fox & Friends this morning to speak about the Manchester Bombing and terror threats he pointed out an earlier conversation with Steve Doocy. The Sec said if people knew what he does about terrorism we would 'never leave the house!'
The American people can only imagine the daily threat assessment Sec Kelly sees against the US. That said it's puzzling to understand why so many democrats and liberals are so determined to act against national security.
At every opportunity they take legal action to undermine Pres Trump's executive orders to protect the homeland. Whether it is shopping federal judges to stop the travel ban, ignoring federal immigration law creating lawless zones.. sorry sanctuary cities, to misleading the public on any number of issues to sway public opinion and create dissent. The democrats are more or less taking action that only empowers illegal aliens, terrorists and our enemies.
The democrats actions to stand down and do nothing is opening the door for a major crime wave or worse a terror attack unlike anything we've seen! They will never accept the violent people they pander to, if given the opportunity, would gladly take them out too!

The Central Bankers/ Planners have been busy.
Busy robbing America blind and now consolidating power even further in their hands, if that's even possible.
And Obama is a terrific puppet and mouthpiece for them. Listen for all 19 minutes, you will be awed at the ease that he spins the Fed power grab into a positive that is going to save the people in America. He even badmouths his own puppet masters to win the people over. Just remember that ACTIONS are what matter, not words!
What you'll hear is first and foremost consolidation of power, then you will hear talk about regulating hedge funds and ensuring that the issuers of debt have a stake in that debt. These regulations will have a TIGHTENING effect on credit. Remember, debt went parabolic… these actions will further hasten the collapse. In order for the economy to grow, each subsequent year of credit/ debt must be larger than the last. With new regulations getting in the way of the securitization of debt process, there is simply no way that is going to happen. Were it not for the consolidation of power into the fed's hands, I would support some of these initiatives. The Fed needs to be dismantled, not given more power. Enjoy the 19 minutes of Central Banker spin:
Yes, Mr. President, we do have laws on the books to handle the failure of companies like AIG. They are called bankruptcy laws. Those same laws apply to banks and to auto manufactures.
And if you're a real glutton for punishment, here is the "near final draft" of his proposals. Remember that everything he is proposing must first be made into law. Thus he needs the help of people like the dishonorable Barney Frank and others to get it done.
No, the Great American Heist is not yet complete, but they are certainly getting ready for the next round:

Why is Jesus associated with 'El' while others with theophoric names none are attributed to be 'El'? How is Immanuel linguistically different in comparison to other theophoric names?
Names similar to Immanuel:
- Immanuel - God is with us
- Jekuthiel - God will support
- Ezekiel - God will strenthen
Why is Immanuel not judged the same as other names with 'El'?
If it was to be taken literal then why wasn't it:
"And he was Immanuel"
But rather it was
"and they shall call his name Emmanuel".
Paraphrase of Isaiah 7:14 -
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him 'God is with us' (Emmanuel)

When Gertrude Arnold graduated from Colorado College in the 1940s and got her first job, she was able to make her first-ever charitable gift. She chose to give it to Children's Hospital Colorado.
Gertrude was inspired to support the hospital by her aunt, who helped raise her and was a loyal donor to Children's Colorado. Now 93, Gertrude has been giving to the institution ever since.
"I think there are only two things you can do for kids besides love them," said Gertrude, who has three of her own children, along with several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, "support their health and provide them with an education."
Every December, after paying all her bills, Gertrude makes a donation to the hospital with what's left, and she has remained committed to Children's Colorado—, even as her financial situation has changed.
After retiring, she wanted to continue giving to the hospital, but she also needed a reliable source of income. That's when she decided to include the hospital in her estate plans with a charitable gift annuity.
Gertrude discovered that charitable gift annuities were a perfect match for her financial needs and philanthropic passions. This type of gift provides regular payments that she can depend on, along with significant tax savings, all while allowing her to give to one of her favorite causes.
"Not only does my charitable gift annuity pay a good interest rate," said Gertrude, "but Children's Colorado will receive the money when I pass away—and I have the income to live off of in the meantime. I found out it has great tax advantages, too."
At a recent celebration luncheon for the hospital's loyal donors, Gertrude met 9-year-old Kaley—, one of the children who benefits from her generosity.
As the saying goes, good things come in small packages—, and this couldn't be truer for Kaley, who has a form of dwarfism, along with other health complications. After being diagnosed with skeletal dysplasia, a condition that affects bone and cartilage growth, Kaley has undergone multiple spinal and foot surgeries at Children's Colorado, but has maintained a positive attitude throughout her numerous medical challenges.
Though she's little in stature, Kaley's personality is larger than life;, and she charmed all of the luncheon's attendees, including Gertrude.
"She's marvelous," Gertrude said. "I love seeing the kids. They're so wonderful."
Gertrude has gone on several visits and tours of the hospital over the years to see the fruits of her contributions firsthand. She feels good knowing that that the impact of her charitable gift annuity will extend beyond her lifetime, far into the hospital's future, continuing to help children like Kaley when they need it most.

L Glutamine Immune: The Best Immune Support Powder
L Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in your muscles and can assist with muscle repair and immune recovery due to having a positive effect on the body's nitrogen levels.
During intense exercise glutamine levels become greatly depleted which causes a decrease in strength, stamina and recovery. Supplementing with L Glutamine can help to replenish the body's glutamine levels, promoting muscle recovery.
L Glutamine has shown to have anti-catabolism properties that work to prevent muscle wastage.
Studies have revealed that Glutamine can help minimise breakdown of muscle and can improve protein metabolism. This is especially useful for those dieting and wanting to preserve muscle.

With summer in the air, we are in for barbeques and parties! And wherever there is a social function, there is usually alcohol. A cold, refreshing beer can be a nice way to cap off a scorcher of a day. For those of us who are into fitness and the whole watching what we eat thing, this can often be a dilemma.
One of the most important aspects of a lifestyle of fitness is finding alternatives. Whether those alternatives be low calorie brownies or healthy hamburgers, finding a way to enjoy yourself is important when living the fit lifestyle. In the case of drinking alcohol, there are some low calorie options. Since beer is the drink of the season for many, this article will focus on the five best low calorie beers available in B.C. Liquor Stores.
Molson 67
Although Molson 67 doesn't pack a huge punch with its alcohol content (3%), its modest calorie count is hard to look past. In B.C., this is a low as the calories get. Want a change of flavour? Try the Sublime version.
Sleeman Clear 2.0
Number two on the list is Sleeman's contribution to the low calorie beer market. Sleeman Clear 2.0 has a 4% alcohol content, and has a meager 80 calories per 12 ounce serving. Although the calories count of this beer is higher than that of the Molson 67, you get a significant bump in alcohol content, while keeping the calories lower than the rest of the beers on this list.
Michelob Ultra
Michelob Ultra is the original low calorie beer — well it was the first beer that was marketed as a low carb, low calorie beer. Michelob catered to a niche market that no one else had really bothered catering to. Michelob Ultra has a 4.2% alcohol content level, and has only 95 calories per 12 ounce serving.
Corona Light
With only 99 calories per 12 ounce serving, Corona Light lives up to its name. Like the beers above, with its low calorie count, it still packs a punch of 4.1%. As long as you don't pull out the tequila bottle to create a fiesta, your calorie count should stay pretty low.
Miller Chill
It's Miller time! Miller Chill is Miller's answer to Bud Light Lime in a market of light, lime flavoured beers that took off a few summers ago. This beer, with a 4.2% alcohol content level, packs only 100 calories per 12 ounces. However, they go down pretty easy, so be careful!
Honourable mention: Coors Light
Just barely missing the cut is the Silver Bullet — Coors Light! Coors Light clocks in at 102 calories per 12 ounce serving, with a 4.2% alcohol content level.

Albin David KlinePresident /CEO
Al started The Appraisal Group in 1994 after leaving a partnership in a well-established firm known as Chase-Bracket Company. Of course, if you have ever started your own company you know that at the beginning you wear every hat imaginable. As time went on he became an expert at finding the right people to help him do his job. One of the most important roles of a CEO is to find and lead people that know how to do the work better than the CEO. Recently, Al started noticing his employees and a few clients referring to The Appraisal Group, as TAG – and that is when the epiphany hit him. He had truly created a tag team – a team of individuals that collective work more quickly and efficiently than any one member as an individual.
Our goal as a company is to foster a feeling of Confidence in our clients about the product and the service we provide to them. I look upon my customer as a friend who I don't want to let down.Al is the 9th out of a family of 10 kids that grew up in Northeast Minneapolis. His Dad was a cop and his mom, a secretary. He was raised Catholic and was an altar boy – he recalls a time when the nuns made him a head server, he jokes about how they must have regretted that decision since he had forgotten his lines. Al takes professional development and continuing education very seriously, and holds the two highest professional designations in his industry. The first is the MAI that was awarded through the Appraisal Institute and the second is a Masters in Real Estate Appraising from the University of St. Thomas. Al once ran the Twin Cities Marathon, back in 1994. It took him 4 hours and 34 minutes. He recalls being passed by a runner in a Tuxedo – who was running backwards! He also loves to be on the water, he enjoys spending his free time at his lake home on Lake Darling out of Alexandria, MN, where you can find him driving his boat or donning a pair of water skis.

My wife and I just returned from a 5 night stay at the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort. We had a great trip (which I'll post about separately), but I have mixed feelings about the Westin. Overall, if we return to Grand Cayman, I'd prefer to try another resort next time or, better yet, see if we can find a reasonable vacation rental / airbnb type of thing. Our primary complaint with the Westin was simply the bedroom itself. It was ordinary and despite my 75 night elite status we were stuck with a parking-lot view. If we had been upgraded to a nicer room I think that our overall impression would have been much more positive. So, to some extent, it was just bad luck on Westin's part that their hotel was completely full during our visit.
Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort Basic Info
- Location: Grand Cayman. Seven Mile Beach
- Hotel chain: Marriott
- Point price: 50K per night standard. Category 6 hotel (50K standard, 40K off-peak, 60K peak). Book 5 nights for the price of 4.
- Platinum Elite perks: Free buffet breakfast. $10 per day food vouchers (they can all be used at once). Welcome amenity or 1,000 points. Chance of room upgrade. Late checkout when available. They also gave us a fruit and cheese plate as an extra welcome gift. I'm not sure if that's standard.
- Resort fee: $65 per night
- Closest airport: Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) is a 10 to 15 minute drive away.
The Westin's best features
- Location: 7 mile beach is great, and the Westin is right in the middle of it. We loved walking the beach at sunset each evening. And the weather was always perfect.
- Food: Most of the food we tried was very good. The Sesame Crusted Tuna (ordered rare), in particular, was fantastic.
- Beach chairs: The resort was completely full throughout our stay, but we were always able to get beach chairs when we wanted them. This is in contrast with some other resorts where it's necessary to grab chairs early in the morning.
- Housekeeping: The housekeeping staff was friendly and efficient. Every afternoon they brought us clean towels, extra bottles of water, and two individually wrapped rum cakes. Yum!
The Westin's worst features
- Resort fee: In my opinion, they offer very little in exchange for the $65 per day fee. Here's their list of what's included.
- Bedroom: We were disappointed to find that our bedroom was similar to what you might find at a mid-scale airport hotel. We expected better. To make things worse, since the hotel was completely full, we were stuck with an ugly parking-lot view.
- Front desk interactions: I'm pretty sure we were just unlucky but we had a few disappointing interactions with desk staff. The most irritating to me was at check-in when the staff member told me that she was giving me $10 per day in dining vouchers
and full breakfast (rather than continental breakfast)as a way of making it up to me that she wasn't able to upgrade us to an ocean view room. In reality, all Platinum Elite guests get these things even if they also get upgraded. UPDATE: I've just been informed that Platinums usually do have to pay $10 per day to upgrade to the full buffet breakfast, so that was a nice gesture.

July 25 (UPI) -- Lockheed Martin is receiving an $8 million contract modification for logistical support of Israel's F-35A Lightning II fighters.
The contract falls under the U.S. Department of Defense's foreign military sales program and provides for maintenance, sustainment operations, supply chain management, work on the Automated Logistics Information system and training.
The work will be performed in Orlando, Fla., Greenville, N.C. and Fort Worth, Texas, with a projected completion date of Dec. 2017. Eight million dollars from the Foreign Military Sales program will be obligated.
Israel currently has five F-35s in service. Three fighters were delivered in April. Orders for 28 more have already been placed, with further procurement expected. They are not yet considered fully operational despite unconfirmed reports of their use in combat missions in Syria.
Israel was the first country under the Foreign Military Sales program to purchase the F-35. It is the first 5th generation stealth fighter to see service with the Israeli Air Force and is expected to form the backbone of their air superiority forces for the next 40 years.
The Israeli model of the F-35A is referred to as the Adir and has some features tailored for Israeli use. It is expected to replace much of Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighter fleets and provide a deep-strike option against heavy air defenses without the massive support needed by more conventional aircraft.

Miller crashes, cuts calf in worlds super-G in Beaver Creek
Skier suffers deep cut after hitting gate
Bode Miller hit his left arm on a gate, spun backward and lost both skis in a crash during the super-G Thursday at the world championships.
The 37-year-old American skier had a deep cut on his right calf.
Miller was competing in his first race since back surgery in November and had a fast run going. He was in the lead midway through the course when he wiped out and slid for quite a while down the hill.
Once Miller stopped sliding, he waited for someone to bring him his skis. Then he clicked back in and wrapped up his run, albeit missing one of his poles. He waved to the crowd after crossing the finish line.
His wife, professional volleyball player Morgan Miller, was in the stands when the accident happened.
This is a course Miller knows well. He's won four times on the tricky Birds of Prey course, but never in the super-G.
Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway also was making his first start of the season after surgery on his torn Achilles tendon in October. He turned in a fast run and after finishing he fell to the snow in jubilation.

The price point is also rather affordable, ranging from $9.90 to $199.90. See below for the full collection, available in stores and online October 27.

Matthew Thorburn
Subject to Change
Western Michigan University
reviewed by Default
Although Subject to Change is Matthew Thorburn's debut collection of poetry, the voice behind these poems is an authoritative voice of, say, a poet mid-career. There is an idea in this book of poems, and not only is that idea "subject to change," but it is also the subject of change. To open the book, Thorburn quotes a Donald Justice poem in which there is a dichotomy of thought, an indecision: we can't have two things in the place of one, and we are ultimately forced to chose one. It is an age-worn struggle, and Thorburn handles it deftly and quietly.
The first poem in the book, "The Critics Interrupt Their Interpretations of 'Un Chat en Hiver' for a French Lesson" has a slightly humorous title and sets the overall tone of the book. The poem's wonderful movement is driven by different interpretations of what the sentence in French could mean, in English:
"A cat in the river," she mused—half-right. "Like us, a little thing in a place wilder than what we can control." ∗∗∗ "Perhaps more like a chat by the river…" ∗∗∗ "It's a cat in winter. The river's just what we imagined it to be, only it's not there. And a cat in winter…I'm not sure what that's like." "Oh," he said, "it's not so bad," and the snow fell all that night like shredded photocopies of snow on a thin white chat.
Every meaning the critics come up with elicits a unique response of the supposed situation. It is an odd situation; the varying, invented ideas behind a simple phrase like 'un chat en hiver' and how those ideas suggest similar ways of understanding life. What is nice about this poem is that it isn't too portentous. In order to convey what he wants the poem to say, Thorburn relies on the voices quoted in the poem, not on his own voice. Thus, we do not need to put our faith as readers solely in Thorburn in order to come away from this poem with something of an idea for what the book is about. Though he is writing in the critics' voices, the illusion he creates is one of outside authority.
It is notable how easy it is to encounter consistently solid poem after solid poem. The poems are so well-constructed, and use such a natural (and unique) voice, that Thorburn is able to slip into the mix a few sonnets as well as a sestina without pulling the reader out of the book by distraction of form amid free verse. Nothing is forced, and little is lost in his handling of these poems.
Another poem that deals with the mutability of language and how we experience language is "To the Last Gouache by that Dead Man, Max Jacob," a prose poem:
Her here is not my here, but only because she's taller. Max's here—I mean Max is here. Still she grows bored. I grow fatter. None of this takes long. At first: "You're found, my lost." Then later: "My found, you're lost again." ∗∗∗ Tomorrow I will misread Waist? for Was it? That happens. But today the trouble's the space between girl friend and girlfriend— "between Ava and Eva," Max says.
This poem is contemplative, of Max Jacob and of a relationship. As with Thorburn's first poem "The Critics Interrupt…" varying ideas/situations are borne of varying interpretations of language. But Thorburn doesn't rely on the change, as it exists in the book's world. Rather, he merely writes about it and goes along with it; less in a struggle with the change than a dependent observer. An arch of the book is the noticeable progression of lovers. It would be difficult to treat the 'you' or the 'she' or, in some cases the names of these lovers, as one person. These women throughout the book, taken as a whole, are a device: a concrete example of change, that people are subject to change, internally and externally. The poem "Portrait of Former Lovers in the Spare Style of the Past Century" could be read as a nod to the movement of lovers throughout the book. In the poem there is only one woman, though it is hard to escape the poem's title. Thorburn writes:
Let me explain: she's just told him something which hurts because it may be true. And now she's turned her face away. So all you get is the flare of her cheek ∗∗∗ Because she's already too far away, or has decided she is.
Matthew Thorburn has amazing control in these poems, and it is one of the more authoritative debut collections. The last few poems in the book is one of the better ending sequences I've read, as everything towards the end quietly tapers off. Everything is more or less subtle in this book, and handled with craftsmanship. "Italian Coffee," "The River," and "Variations" (part of which is quoted below) are poems that you will walk away with. And Thorburn understands fully well that not everyone can feel the same or have the same thoughts in these poems, as they interact with them. Every situation is ultimately different, and will change:
The hills fall away to a shallow gully, bent reeds yellow and green, and so there must be a hint of water there. or In the Tuileries women wear scarves against the brisk fall morning, don't linger long. But the flowers still bloom. Oranges, reds: heart-colored possibilities. or I see in its leaving why you loved the light.

Stepmom strokes my fantasy. | (Random)
My stepmom has no idea how much I think about her. She probably sees me as just another college kid slacker who holes up in his room all day being anti-social.
If she only knew what I've imagined her doing to me in my fantasy she would possibly send me to counseling. She's just a regular mom like many other moms out there except she has something special to her. She wears frumpy clothes and eye glasses that fall down her nose but I see something else when I look at her.
I see her hair softly curled and hanging loose to frame her beautiful face. I see her in gorgeous vintage lingerie with stockings and elegant elbow length gloves. She would wear sexy black satin wedges with rhinestone bows to match the bows on her lingerie garter strap. Her lips would be crimson red like a perfect red rose, most important, she would be wearing pearls that hung down in between her still scrumptious middle aged breasts. Ahh... I have blasted my hot cum many a time by my own hand to this fantasy of her. If she could only see herself as I do maybe she might dress up a little more instead of looking like she just got out of yoga class. Oh well, maybe it will just have to be my twisted little fantasy that no one else will ever know about, or will they? She is dressed exactly as I imagined. Here she is in my own bedroom! All her attention is directed to me. She moves her perfect body seductively to show every curve accented in her lingerie. After she gives me quite the visual tease she slowly comes to me and goes right for the bulge that is growing by the second. She tells me how long she has wanted a moment like this to happen, us, alone. I lay there as if I am dreaming but don't want to move in case I should wake up and this isn't real. My cock is in her hands, wrapped in her pearls and cradled by her gloved fingertips. She sucks and strokes my hard on so perfectly well. She tells me how much she loves the feel of my dick in her hands. Before I knew it she was straddling me and asking for my load. She said to give my cum to mommy. This drove me to the point of no return as I let every ounce of hot spunk pump from my swollen member. She milked it until it was dry and then licked the last drop from the tip. My step mom tasting my jizz! I must be day dreaming again,...or am I?
