While there are numerous top quality casino games available to online and mobile players, video poker is becoming more and more popular. This excellent game has various features that attract a whole variety of players, and it is no wonder that more and more players are signing up all of the time. There are two different options for playing this game, and it really comes down to what you are looking for as a player.
If you don't want to spend any of your own money, or if you are just looking for a game where there is no risk of you losing anything, then no deposit video poker might be the answer for you. This game is available for free, and anybody can start playing without any delays. Of course because you are not spending any of your own money, you will typically not be eligible to win any of the real money jackpots. However, this does not mean that you can't still have a whole lot of fun while playing games. In fact, many experienced players just enjoy playing this game for the fun and entertainment that it provides. The other option is to play the real money version of the game, and hope that you are in for some big winnings.
Video Poker Bonus Offerings
To play real money video poker, you will need to make a deposit into your virtual account. The top casinos will generally offer a whole lot of different options for doing these online transactions. Have a look at all the options they provide, and make sure there is an alternative that suits you. You should be able to use your credit card or debit card details. You might even be able to use your internet banking profile, or one of the other big companies, like PayPal for example.
When looking into these options for making a deposit, also look at what are your choices for withdrawing any winnings that you might be lucky enough to accumulate. When depositing to play video poker, you might find that you are able to claim some of the bonuses that are available. These bonuses are a great way to continue playing the game for that much longer. Sometimes, just by registering with a site for the first time, new players can often claim some welcome bonus credits.
Learn About Poker Hand Rankings
Video poker is a great way for getting to know the ranking of poker hands. If you have never played any type of poker before, it can take a little while to get to know which hand ranks higher than the others. However, it is important that you know how a full house compares to a royal flush, for example. Playing this game is an excellent introduction into poker hands, and is actually a whole lot of fun to play. Learning the basics is fairly straightforward, and you can play this version of poker almost immediately. Because you are playing online or at Canadian mobile casino, you can also keep a list of the poker hand rankings next to you, which you can easily refer to.

RTA Protocol for low value PI claims – discontinuing the process - restriction to fixed costs
Ilahi v Usman
Manchester County Court
26 November 2012
This judgment concerns a claim which was proceeding under the RTA Protocol until the Claimant withdrew a Stage 2 offer to settle and issued Part 7 proceedings. The issue was whether the Claimant should be restricted to the Protocol fixed costs under CPR 45.36. DWF's Emma Pritchard acted for the Defendant and reviews the judgment in Ilahi v Usman (2012).
The Claimant brought a claim for damages for personal injury arising out of a road traffic accident on 26 April 2011. Liability was admitted and the medical evidence was that a full recovery would be made within 12 to 13 months of the accident.
The claim therefore fell to be dealt with under the Pre-Action Protocol for low value personal injury claims in road traffic accidents ("the RTA Protocol").
The parties completed the Stage 1 procedure and the Claimant submitted the Stage 2 settlement pack with an offer to settle at £3,500 on 13 February 2012. The Defendant made a Stage 2 offer of £2,400 on 2 March 2012.
On 11 April 2012, the Claimant's solicitors wrote to the Defendant saying, "Please note that our offer is formally withdrawn. The matter now exits the portal". The Claimant sought to rely on paragraph 7.39 of the RTA Protocol:
Where a party withdraws an offer made in the Stage 2 Settlement Pack Form after the total consideration period or further consideration period, the claim will no longer continue under this Protocol and the claimant may start proceedings under Part 7 of the CPR.
The Claimant never explained why the offer was withdrawn; she did not seek to obtain further medical evidence and there was no indication that she had not recovered in line with the original prognosis.
Had the Claimant not withdrawn her offer, the matter would have proceeded to Stage 3. Instead, the Claimant issued Part 7 proceedings resulting in a disposal hearing.
The Defendant argued that the Claimant had acted unreasonably in withdrawing her offer. The matter should have remained within the RTA Protocol and subject to the fixed costs regime. Consequently, the costs of the Part 7 claim should be limited to those which would have been recoverable under the RTA Protocol.
The Claimant argued she had done nothing wrong. She was entitled to withdraw her offer and it was the automatic effect of paragraph 7.39 which caused the matter not to proceed to Stage 3.
After a short disposal hearing in which the Claimant recovered damages and interest of £3,388.03 the District Judge heard brief oral argument on the costs issues. She accepted the Claimant's submission that the matter had automatically come out of the Protocol (as opposed to it being elected by the Claimant) and ordered the Defendant to pay costs assessed at £9,900.10. The Defendant appealed.
HHJ Platts, finding for the Defendant, held:
CPR 45.36 provides that where a claimant elects not to continue with the RTA Protocol and the court considers that the claimant has acted unreasonably, the court may order the defendant to pay no more than the Protocol fixed costs.
Did the Claimant "elect" not to continue with the RTA Protocol?
The word "elects" in rule 45.36(1)(b) has no special meaning. If a claimant has a choice whether or not to take a step, the automatic result of which is to discontinue the process, and she chooses to take that step then she must be taken to have elected to discontinue the process. The Claimant's argument that the claim did not continue under the Protocol because of the automatic operation of paragraph 7.39 was not accepted.
Did the Claimant act unreasonably in withdrawing her offer?
The Claimant had been "slightly upset" by the Defendant's offer and in submissions, argued that an unreasonably low defendant offer was of itself a good reason for a claimant to withdraw his or her offer and thereby exit the process.
However, the whole purpose of Stage 3 is that where the parties cannot settle within the Stage 2 procedure the matter should be referred to the court under Stage 3 where it will be resolved.
The result for a claimant in terms of damages on a Stage 3 determination should be no different to part 7 in a straightforward case such as this. The real reason for the Claimant withdrawing her offer was to take advantage of the costs implications of bringing a Part 7 claim.
"In my judgment to manipulate the RTA Protocol procedure to take the claim away from Stage 3 and into part 7 because of the costs implications is contrary to the spirit if not the letter of the protocol and wholly contrary to the overriding objective"
The Claimant had elected not to continue with the process under the Protocol and CPR 45.36 was engaged.
Further, she acted unreasonably in thereby discontinuing the process or causing the process to be discontinued.
The court therefore has discretion to order fixed costs only under CPR 45.36.
If a defendant does not make an acceptable offer, the sanction it faces is the risk of a costs order (albeit limited) within the Protocol procedure. It is not a good reason for a claimant to withdraw its offer and "exit the Portal". There was no good reason for the Claimant to take it out of the procedure in this case. The matter could and should have remained within the RTA Protocol.
The consequence of the District Judge's original decision was that the Claimant recovered in costs three times the amount of her damages and nine times the amount that was in issue between the parties. That result was neither proportionate nor just and the proper order is that the Claimant should be entitled to her fixed costs as set out in CPR 46 Part VI and no more.
DWF acted for the successful Defendant in this matter and this sensible and unequivocal judgment of HHJ Platts will no doubt be welcomed by insurers.
It was an important issue to take to appeal, as the first instance decision had serious implications for the future use of the RTA Protocol. The implications would have been all the more significant given the forthcoming extension to the Portal process both to EL and PL claims and to higher value motor claims.
Brian McCluggage of 9 St John Street who represented the Defendant on appeal said: "If the Claimant's argument had been accepted, it would have destroyed the utility of the Portal. We would be seeing a flood of offer withdrawals in order to seek standard rather than fixed costs."
In our experience, some claimant solicitors do look for ways to remove a case from the Portal in order to benefit in costs, and as we move towards the extension of the RTA Protocol, we are seeing more attempts to do that. Insurers need to be alive to when claimants are acting unreasonably in electing to discontinue the process so that arguments can be raised under CPR 45.36. Hopefully this judgment will put an end to this particular type of argument but if you have any doubts or queries about the validity of attempts to exit the Portal, please do not hesitate to contact us.

AHS continues to put patients first with new strategy
June 8, 2015
CALGARY – Patients and families must be welcomed partners within their health care teams, and be engaged in improving and managing their own health and wellness, according to an Alberta Health Services (AHS) strategy paper, released today.
The Patient First Strategy, developed following consultations with Albertans, identifies priority actions needed to further embed the principles of patient- and family-centred care in a consistent and standardized way throughout the organization.
"Patient- and family-centred care is about putting the experiences, priorities and trust of patients and families first," said Vickie Kaminski, AHS President and CEO at a press conference at the South Health Campus. "There are already many examples of excellent patient- and family-centred care practices across AHS and our partner health care organizations. With the Patient First Strategy, AHS is taking another step toward establishing a culture of compassion, caring and collaboration, and ensuring that this occurs in every AHS health care encounter."
Sarah Hoffman, Minister of Health, said the Patient First Strategy represents a respectful and responsive approach to health care delivery.
"I'm pleased to see AHS' commitment to partnering with patients and families to ensure that they are involved in their own care using a team-based approach," said Minister Hoffman. "Albertans have a vested interest in their health and their health system. Their voices need to be better heard and respected in order for the health system to truly meet all of their physical and emotional needs."
Priority actions outlined in the strategy will:
- Empower patients and families to be active members of their health care teams by encouraging them to ask questions and raise concerns, and while respecting patient and family values, needs and preferences.
- Improve communications at all levels to ensure that care plans are fully understood by all parties and that pertinent patient information is shared among all members of the care team.
- Further enhance a team-based approach to care that provides patients and families comprehensive and seamless health care experiences.
- Improve co-ordination and continuity of care when patients move between units or facilities.
"Research shows that a patient- and family-centred approach to care reduces the length of time patients spend in hospital, improve patient experiences, and lead to better patient outcomes," said Deb Runnalls, co-chair of the Patient First Steering Committee. "The Patient First Strategy outlines how AHS can provide the best care possible to every patient who comes to our facilities."
Patients and their families; AHS staff and physicians; and AHS health care partners and stakeholder groups — including the Aboriginal Wisdom Council, Health Advisory Councils, the Children and Youth Advisory Council, and Strategic Clinical Networks — provided input into the Patient First Strategy through formal and informal feedback sessions and surveys.
An implementation plan is underway with further engagement of patients and their families as the Patient First Strategy is adopted throughout AHS. An already-established implementation steering committee will support and guide patient and family-centred care across all AHS zones and programs.
Kaminski pointed out that there are many AHS facilities who have fully embraced the principles of patient- and family-centred care. For instance, at the South Health Campus in Calgary, staff and physicians introduce themselves by NOD: an acronym for staff to use so when they meet patients by introducing themselves with their Name, Occupation, and their Duty. The site has also eliminated visiting hours where family and friends are welcome to stay overnight on most inpatient units to provide comfort and support to patients. And a Citizen Advisory Team brings the perspective and voice of patients, family and communities in the planning, operations, and evaluation of programs, services and facilities.
Last year, the South Health Campus was one of 12 North American hospitals — and the only one in Canada — selected by the U.S.-based Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care as an exemplar health facility for use of best practices in Patient and Family Centered Care.
"The South Health Campus represents a new way of engaging with patients, families and the surrounding community," said Kaminski. "The facility began its phased opening 2012 and, right from the start, it was clear this is a place where patients and families come first." Patients and families were present at the initial inception of the facility and have been active partners in all the planning phases of the hospital infrastructure and programmatic developments.
The Patient First Strategy is one of four AHS strategies aimed at improving the health system.
AHS is also finalizing strategies to promote collaborative care and stable, predictable staffing; support research and innovation to improve patient outcomes; and develop systems so AHS staff, physicians and leaders have the information and data they need at their fingertips.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

I can almost agree with what Phil Hunt is saying about being a full time musician and having any kind of life at all. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid, but I became a guitar player instead. 10 years ago, I got my vets license. I only use my license for my own animals. I have been a full time musician for 55 years. I do 500+ dates a year. I have 2 farms that I put time on. I raise black cats (9 in the house and about 50 outside) and 6 black German Shepherds. The question that I keep asking myself is, "How the hell did I ever get into this mess"?

Ibrahim from Mali and Djibril from Cameroon were arrested by Algerian security forces and forced to cross the border to Niger, located in the middle of the desert, on foot. They told InfoMigrants about their nightmarish journey.
"That morning, I was heading towards the field where I was working. I saw a coach pull up in front of me. Three police officers in civilian clothing got out. Everything happened very quickly. They took me away without asking me anything. I didn't even have time to run."
Djibril was arrested in the middle of the street in Oran by Algerian security forces on July 10. He says that he was traumatized by the raid.
"When I got into the coach, I saw that there were other people like me. They took our fingerprints and told us that we were going to Tamanrasset. A few hours later, they put us in a bus to southern Algeria. There were several buses and hundreds of people, including men, women and children."
Tamanrasset is about 2,000 kilometres south of Oran, which is located on the coast in northern Algeria. The bus drove for several days before reaching the south of the country.
At a certain point during the telephone interview with InfoMigrants, Djibril was finding it hard to talk about these painful memories, so he handed the phone to Ibrahim. The Malian man was arrested on the same day as Djibril. Over the past few weeks, the two men have become close, bonding over the traumatic experience.
"We arrived in Tamanrasset after three days of travel. [...] It was night. We went to a refugee camp. There were people from the Red Cross. We made groups of people from the same country. Cameroonians with Cameroonians, Malians with Malians and so on.
We were shocked by how violent the authorities were with us. The Algerian soldiers and police hit us with truncheons. They treated us as if we were animals. They were even violent towards the women and children.
In the middle of night, they put us in trucks and drove towards In Guezzam [Editor's note: the final Algerian town before the border with Niger]. When the trucks came to a stop, it was daylight. So we realized that it was already Friday. They made us get out and told us that Assamaka was 5 kilometres away. That was false."
Assamaka, a town in the middle of the desert, is the first settlement on the Nigerian side of the border. It is more than 25 kilometres from In Guezzam.
"It was so hot. People collapsed as we were walking. How can anyone walk 25 kilometres in the desert without food or water? The Algerian police are terrible. What they did to us was barbaric.
My feet hurt and were swollen. When they arrested me in Oran, I was wearing moccasins. Crossing the desert in moccasins is hard. The stones ripped up my feet. It took me about five hours to reach Assamaka. Other people did it in three hours. The weakest people took even more time than I did.
Thanks to god, while we were in the desert, we encountered some cars that agreed to take the weakest amongst us, including the women and children, on to Assamaka. Djibril and I walked the whole way."
When Djibril and Ibrahim reached Assamaka on July 13, they were treated by teams from the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), the UN migration agency. The two men didn't take the IOM up on its offer to repatriate them to their home countries via Agadez, a larger town. Instead, two days after their arrival in Assamaka, they headed back to Algeria. Ibrahim explained why.
"You think I don't understand what just happened? I understand. Algeria isn't a welcoming place. I've never had a moment of peace there. Both the Algerian people and the police are always insulting us. They call us 'monkeys.' Even the kids harass us. They often throw stone at us. But my family is still in Oran. All my belongings are there, too. When the police took me, I didn't have anything on me. No money, no belongings. I have to go back.
I don't know if I will ever return to Gao, my hometown. It's dangerous for me there. But I don't really want to go to Europe either. Honestly, I don't know what to do."In the post below, the IOM talks about the migrants, including Djibril and Ibrahim, who were dropped off in the desert last month.

Use and correct interpretation depend on the user's understanding of the digital processing system. Technical proficiency is a significant factor.
The characteristic transmission curves for the four process colors black, cyan, magenta and yellow can be assessed.
Quality requirements can be objectively specified under ISO 9001/2.
The digital Print Scale is first imported into processing programs and then output by these programs on a PostScript-compatible device. The output Digital Print Scale characterizes the material output (checkerboard patches, line patches) in combination with the specific editing processes of the workflow and RIP user applications (halftone wedge).
The EPS version of the Ugra/Fogra Digital Print Scale can also be sent direct to the digital printing system's RIP. The output Digital Print Scale characterizes the digital printing system's material output.

The Miracle of Lanciano dates back to the eighth century when a monk who had doubts about the Real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, found when he said the words of consecration at Mass, that the bread and wine changed into flesh and blood. It has been certified by the Catholic Church as a Eucharistic miracle.
According to ancient accounts, in the city of Lanciano, Italy, then known as Anxanum, around 700, a Basilian hieromonk was assigned to celebrate Mass at the monastery of St. Longinus. Celebrating in the Latin Rite and using unleavened bread, the monk had doubts about the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.[1]
During the Mass, when he said the Words of Consecration ("This is my body. This is my blood"), with doubt in his soul, the priest is said to have seen the bread change into living flesh and the wine change into blood[1] which coagulated into five globules, irregular and differing in shape and size (the number supposed to be correspondant to the number of wounds Christ suffered on the cross: one in each hand and foot from the nails, and the wound from the centurion's spear).
People who believed they had witnessed the miracle soon spread the news throughout the surrounding area, and the archbishop ordered an investigation. Church authorities certified the miracle.[1] Since 1713 the Host-Flesh has been reserved in an artistic silver Ostentorium.
Since 1574, various investigations of varying degrees of detail have been conducted upon the elements:
The examination[2] in 1971 was performed by Odoardo Linoli, a professor in anatomy and pathological histology as well as chemistry and clinical microscopy,and former head of the Laboratory of Pathological Anatomy at the Hospital of Arezzo.[3] He was assisted by Ruggero Bertelli, a retired professor of human anatomy at the University of Siena. The report was published in Quaderni Sclavo di Diagnostica Clinica e di Laboratori in 1971.[3][4]
Linoli's released his findings in March 1971. His study confirmed that the flesh was human cardiac tissue, and the blood was type AB. In the blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of fresh normal blood. Linoli found no trace of preservatives.[5]
The Basilian monks kept custody of the elements until their departure in 1175. They were succeeded by Benedictine monks in 1176. The items were placed in different locations within the Church of St. Francis at Lanciano. They were kept in the Valsecca Chapel from 1636 until 1902 when they were relocated to a new altar.
When he was Cardinal of Krakow, Pope John Paul II visited the Church of St Francis in Lanciano.[6]
The elements can still be seen today. The flesh, which is the same size as the large host used in the Latin Church, is fibrous and light brown in color and becomes rose-colored when lighted from the back. The blood consists of five coagulated globules and has an earthy color resembling the yellow of ochre.

Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson. both versions are great but i had the idol version of the song playing on a loop. you can watch her beautifully heartbreaking performance of this song on american idol here
Fuller House. I didn't really want this show to happen because I didn't want one of my favorite childhood shows to be ruined. I watched with very low expectations and ended up loving it. I think there is a fine line between reviving a show the right way and reviving a show by relying way too much on the original show and trying to making it exactly the same and it being weird to watch. They did a great job. The perfect amount of throwbacks balanced with a whole new show.
Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande. i love when she does this kind of song and we can hear her amazing talent
New York City by The Chainsmokers. this one gets stuck in my head but i love it
The Martian. i never got around to seeing this movie in theaters but it's out on dvd now! really liked it.
Pageant Material by Kacey Musgraves. the whole album! i love her lyrics and simple songs
Work From Home by Fifth Harmony. love when this song comes on the radio. it's the best
Peter Pan by Kelsea Ballerini. love the sound of this song
Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll. just finished this book! definitely recommend
Stressed Out by twenty on pilots. another favorite when it comes on the radio. these lyrics are so relatable
Pillowtalk by Zayn. surprised myself with how much i've been liking his solo stuff
Patina eyeshadow by MAC. like the dark horse of eyeshadows. it's so light and simple but it really adds the perfect touch
Cake by The Ocean by DNCE. this is just so catchy, i always want to sing along
Love yourself by Justin Bieber. another great one when it comes on the radio
Hands & Hearts by Katrina Stone. this song is so upbeat and fun. belongs in a summer video or something
American Idol Finale. I was an extremely loyal fan all the way up through the first half of season 9. I had to quit the show when I got too frustrated with the wrong things happening. I was way too into it and the pressure of voting and stressing about the right people getting through was taking over. But watching every week was such a big part of my life. I watched with most of my family and then talked about it at school the next day with all my friends. We all watched it. I learned all the classic songs from watching performances on the show and the themed weeks. I used to be an american idol encyclopedia when it came to contestants and which season they were on and what songs they sang. With this being the last season ever, I had to watch. I've seen some different rotations of judges but I have to say the final panel was probably the best since the original (which was only good because it was the original). They finally got it right with this panel. Anyway, this season had good parts and bad but the finale to the series was absolutely perfect. It seemed like everyone came back and it was the most bittersweet homecoming. It made the current season's final two contestants seem like an afterthought but I didn't care at that point. It really wasn't about them anymore, and I think that was fine. The finale was so well done and the perfect send off that I wanted to see for a show so important to my childhood.

diaper napkin party favors
baby shower, I saw a lot of cute ideas. When I came across these diaper napkins, I knew I had to include them in the shower. They were so cute! Also easy and a very inexpensive party favor/decoration. Just like the diy confetti, this one can take a bit of time but is a great task to take on in front of the tv.
We chose pink napkins and made one for each guest to have at their seat to munch on before lunch or during gifts. To fill the diapers, we mixed easter M&M's with chex mix. We got pretty lucky that the easter M&M's came out in time for the shower and matched our baby pastel color palette. They looked adorable and everyone really loved them!

onesie banner display
I absolutely love the way it turned out! We placed it on the gift table and balanced it with balloons on either side. It looked just like I imagined for this baby shower, and I can't wait to use it again.
spray to stain the wood. One can covered two coats of both sides of one lattice. Even though the stain didn't turn out quite like I imagined from the picture on the can, it still looked much better than the unfinished wood. It ended up have a little bit of a natural distressed look that I liked.
Once everything was spaced out nicely, I attached four onesies to the rope using the clothespins.
Luckily, my cousin has a Silhouette Cameo machine and was kind enough to help me cut the letters for the banner! I used brown kraft paper and made them about 8" tall to fit the onesies. I used 4-6 pieces of rolled scotch tape to attach each letter to the onesie. I couldn't think of anything better at the time and it ended up staying just fine.

diy confetti
baby shower in my head. I wanted large circle confetti in "baby pastel" colors sprinkled around the centerpieces. I searched the stores and every corner of the internet and just couldn't find anything that matched the image in my head. So I decided to make my own. It sounds like a tedious job, but it really wasn't bad. I would do it again. It does take some time, but it was an easy task to do while watching tv.
Fiskars 0.6" circle lever punch. I love this little gadget so much! It was the perfect size circle and even has a "confetti catcher" on the bottom.

chalkboard lettering
Now to get in to the chalkboard lettering from the baby shower!
After selecting my fonts (KG Two is Better Than One and CK Carolyn), I typed the phrase in Excel so that they would bleed to multiple pages at the large size I would need. Viewing Excel at about 30% helps. Mine printed on 7 pages.
After trimming excess paper, I arranged them how I wanted on the chalkboard.
Starting with the first paper, flip it over and rub the side of a piece of chalk all over where there are letters on the other side.
Place the paper chalk-side-down on the board where you want it and lightly tape it in place. Use a ball point pen to trace the letters.
When you remove the paper, a chalk stencil remains.
Trace and fill the letters with a piece of chalk. Go slowly so that the lines stay smooth! Blow away any remaining chalk dust or keep a microfiber cloth nearby.

winnie the pooh baby shower
The mom-to-be has always loved Winnie the Pooh so it was an easy theme to decide. We wanted the shower to have a Winnie the Pooh presence but not Winnie the Pooh everything. And while we knew the baby was a girl, we didn't want an overload of pink. We tried to stick to neutrals with elements of "baby pastels" and Winnie the Pooh.
I found the perfect invitations on etsy here and the process was so easy. We decided to do two activities: "Guess the Birth Date" and "The Price is Right" game. All of the supplies for "Guess the Birth Date" were downloaded from here. I changed the instructions slightly since we decided this would just be a fun activity in the background with no formal winner or prizes. As for "The Price is Right" game, I found a few pre-made ones on etsy but we didn't love the wording. I ended up making it myself using picmonkey. That way I was able to use the etsy products as a template, but customize a few of the baby items. I used the font Two is Better Than One and the same Winnie the Pooh graphic from the invitation. That same font was used on the chalkboard sign and the name cards at each table.
More details are coming soon!

Sneve is a graduate of South Dakota State University, where she earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in 1954 and 1969, respectively. She has taught in the South Dakota public school system as well as on the Flandreau Indian Reservation and at Oglala Lakota College. Among her most popular works are Jimmy Yellow Hawk (1977), High Elk's Treasure and Completing the Circle (both 1995), When Thunder Spoke (1974), and The Chichi Hoohoo Bogeyman (1975).

It may be a little cliché to think about what we are thankful for during the Thanksgiving holiday, but in current society, we are constantly "doing" and rarely just sitting, thinking, and reflecting. Actively taking time to think about what we are grateful for helps us to pause and acknowledge our hard work. From all the members of the Allterra Group and the Appraisal Buzz team, we want to express how grateful we are for this amazing group of appraisers.
Members of the appraisal community also took time to express what they are thankful this season.
Lori Alexandra – I'm just thankful I wake up every morning and am healthy.
Nadia Bruce – Thankful for everything under the SUN. Everything!!!
Colby Hutton – I am thankful for a daily affirmation that my choice of career was correct. Nothing beats setting your own schedule and making time to walk the kids to and from school every day. There will come a point where they get too old to want me to go with them and I will look back on this time with great joy that I was able to be with them every day.
Anthony Blackburn – From a professional perspective, I'm thankful for the diversity of my job and colleagues and their opinions and insights. Anyone can work 9 to 5 in a factory. My day brings me something new and interesting with each assignment or project.
Paul Diaz – I am thankful that I received a kidney transplant on 10/26/17. Just 3 weeks ago and this was my first week back to work with 8 jobs this week. Healthy and finally feeling great after 2 years of dialysis.
Susan Marie Lee – I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food on my table, and the wheels under me that enable me to go out and serve the public as an honest Residential Real Estate Appraiser. I am thankful for the love and support of my friends and family taking this journey called life with me. Carpe Diem!
Cathy Simmons – I am thankful for everything this career has given me. I love puzzles and each assignment is one. Some are easy, some are ridiculously hard. However, they are never the same. I have not been bored for 27 wonderful years.
Sandra Adomatis – I am thankful for a mentor that taught me appraisal methodology as found in the textbooks. He always made me prove my adjustments and research each sale including talking to someone involved in the transaction. I am thankful for a profession that allows me to make a living.
John Merzlock – I am 73 and have completed over 10,000 reports since1973. I have enjoyed the ups/downs of the ride. I have been going to retire for the past 2 1/2 years but the phone keeps ringing and I keep saying, "YES".
Don Clark – I am thankful that i have the privilege of working in a profession I truly enjoy. I have worked at many things in my life: 20 years in the USN, District Director/management Consultant for a real estate franchise network, Broker, Sales person, real estate and appraisal educator. I have enjoyed them all, liked them all, and now, finally settled in Professional Real Estate Appraisal. I am thankful for the great care I received most recently in 2 separate hospitalizations, the great medical professionals who put me on the road to recovery. And, most of all, for my family.
Thank you all for sharing what you are grateful for in 2017. Please share below what you are thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hackney launches guide to help other councils implement its School Streets eco-scheme
PUBLISHED: 16:06 17 May 2019 | UPDATED: 16:06 17 May 2019
Gary Manhine
Hackney Council has launched a guide to help councils across the country replicate its School Streets scheme, which bans motor traffic outside schools at opening and closing times.
Five schemes are now in operation since launching in 2017, and two more in for Sebright School and the City of London Academ, Shoreditch Park in Audrey Street and for Southwold School in Detmold Road are due to launch soon.
You may also want to watch:
The idea is to improve air quality and make it easier for children to walk and cycle to school. The council plans to implement 17 School Streets by 2022.
The free guide, known as the School Streets toolkit, will support councils nationwide to launch their own.
Cllr Feryal Demirci, Deputy Mayor of Hackney, said: "We've had lots of interest in School Streets from as far afield as Toronto and Singapore and feel that we have a duty to share our new toolkit with councils nationwide, as we want to see schools transformed and the school-run become a thing of the past."

|Site history
|May 1943
|In use
|June 1943
Marnia Airfield is an abandoned military airfield in Morocco, located approximately 9 km west of Tangier and 37 km north-northeast of Asilah.
The airfield was constructed as a temporary facility, with a hard earth or pierced steel planking (PSP) runway and parking apron. with few or no permanent structures, Tents were used for ground support operations and personnel billeting. It was used for a brief two-week period by the Twelfth Air Force 86th Bombardment Group, flying A-20 Havocs from the field in early and mid-June 1943 during the North African Campaign. After the 86th moved east to Tafaraoui Airfield, Algeria, the airfield was dismantled and the land returned to civil authorities.
Today the area where Marnia Airfield was constructed is now an agricultural area, with little or no evidence of its existence.

Christophe Weber says growth and innovation are the metrics for success in Takeda Pharmaceutical Co.'s $62 billion purchase of Shire PLC. The first order of business is bringing global shareholders around to Japan's biggest-ever outbound takeover.
The Takeda CEO is facing a 21 percent drop in the stock price since the company disclosed its interest in March, while Shire is trading £9 ($12) below the offer price of roughly £49 a share. He's also contending with some domestic shareholders who are averse to expansion as Weber looks to create a global pharmaceutical giant.
In an interview at Takeda's new Tokyo headquarters, the French-born CEO discussed his push to sell the deal overseas — and in Japan — and plans to integrate the 237-year-old drugmaker with a London-listed company with mostly U.S.-based operations.
The following excerpt has been edited for clarity and brevity.
Is there a difference dealing with investors in Japan versus the U.S.?
They all want to better understand our vision for the combined company — what the new business will look like, when it will be combined. I think investors are starting from very different points. In Japan, many didn't know Shire at all; it's more difficult for them to understand the combination of the two. In the U.S., many people in the health care investment sector know about Shire; some of them know about both companies.
Shire still trades below the offer price. What is the market missing?
It's not that they don't see the benefit of the combination, it's that there is no precedent. And so people don't know exactly how it will happen. For example, there is no precedent for a Japanese company buying a foreign company with its own shares. There is no precedent for delisting, so U.K. shareholders will have to exchange its shares with either Japanese shares or an ADR (American depositary receipt) in New York.
How are you approaching the issue of integration?
This is an area we're quite comfortable with, otherwise we wouldn't have done the deal. My team is truly global. There are eight nationalities and a majority of my team is not based in Japan. The other element is that Shire's operational headquarters are in Boston and in Zurich, where we have our two hubs outside of Tokyo. So I think this proximity will help greatly. It will not be easy but we really analyze that, because most mergers are not super successful because of integration.
What will be the hardest part of integration?
I think M&A (mergers and acquisitions) or integration in the pharmaceutical industry is often highly disruptive for R&D (research and development). And this is where we have a big advantage because Shire has not invested strongly in research. We don't have to go through the disruption of closing a research site or merging a research site, which takes a long time and has some impact on the pipeline and is so complicated. The R&D integration is relatively simple because of that.
What do you need to do to bridge the cultural gaps?
We'll have to build a new business organization and we're actively starting to work on that. Takeda has a much longer history and stronger culture in terms of value system. We are very patient-centric — it's do the right thing for the patient, reinforce trust with society, develop the reputation of the company and develop the business, in that order. I think Shire is also patient-centric because in rare diseases you need to have this mindset. I think their business organization is not too dissimilar from Takeda's.
How will you determine if integration has been a success?
In three years we will have to look at Takeda and where it is positioned in the global pharma market. We'll look at what type of pipeline and science it is generating, the type of resilience the company has, its growth and its ability to innovate. … We will design a new company which will be very R&D driven, very very science driven. But also very fit for the future environment that we will face.
Many say your legacy will hinge on the success of the Shire deal.
I don't have any personal agenda. I don't have any ego to feed. I'm doing this deal because I think this is a unique opportunity for Takeda to be much more competitive. And this is a unique opportunity for Japan, because Japan doesn't have a global champion and might never have one if we don't do this deal. The countries that have one, they all built it by M&A — GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi. It's easy to say their M&A has been bumpy along the way, but what would those companies be if they had not done it?

Warner Bros. has released the final trailer for The Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix.
The DC film follows Phoenix's portrayal of Arthur Fleck as a clown and struggling comedian in 1981 Gotham City who seems to have fallen on tough times.
After Fleck becomes depressed and frustrated due to his professional and personal letdowns, he breaks before becoming the mad, made-up villain who seems to head into some very dark territory.
READ MORE: 'Joker' movie trailer — Joaquin Phoenix is here to freak you out
"You don't listen, do you? You just ask the same questions every week. 'How's your job? Are you having any negative thoughts?'" Fleck says to his therapist in the trailer. "All I have are negative thoughts."
The trailer also shows a talk show host (played by Robert De Niro) mocking Fleck, which then leads into his transformation into the supervillain.
The rest of the trailer includes chaos, cars crashing, clown masks and evil laughter.
WATCH: 'Joker' teaser trailer
Of course, the comic-book character, previously made popular by actors Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Cameron Monaghan and Jared Leto, has alternated between camp humour and outright sadism. Here, Phoenix seems to be delivering the latter.

Todd Phillips' The Joker also stars Zazie Beetz, Marc Maron, Shea Whigham, Frances Conroy, Bill Camp, Brian Tyree Henry and Glenn Fleshler.

Mercedes-Benz has reportedly signed off on a new platform for electric cars, with four new electric cars planned–two saloons and two crossovers.
With the Porsche Mission E electric super saloon and the Audi Q6 e-tron electric SUV/crossover already confirmed to be on the way to production, Mercedes-Benz is working hard to make sure it takes a piece of the burgeoning electric car market, as mainstream car makers take aim at Tesla's head start.
Car Magazine is reporting that Mercedes has signed off on an all new platform for electric vehicle architecture–the EVA platform–which will be used to underpin a quartet of new EVs: two saloon cars and two SUV/Crossover models, Cars UK.
The EVA platform is a development of Mercedes' rear-drive MRA platform, but with space for a battery pack to fill the floor–just like Tesla–and the option to fit an electric motor to drive the rear wheels as well as an additional motor at the front for four-wheel drive variants, with the rear-wheel drive models getting at least 400 bhp and the four-wheel drive models up to 600 bhp.
Features include adaptive electric suspension, recuperative e-brakes and e-torque vectoring, with styling influenced by the Mercedes Concept aIAA unveiled at Frankfurt a few months ago.
The first new Mercedes EV to arrive will be a saloon pitched between the C-Class and E-Class, followed by an SUV that will be between the GLC and GLE. The saloon car will arrive in 2018.
Following on will be an S-Class-sized saloon car as well as a new super-sized electric SUV, which will be bigger than the GLS.
The new Mercedes EVs will be built at Mercedes' Bremen plant, with prices expected to start around £70,000 (3.7 billion rials).

Strange thoughts

Strange thoughts
For the last three months or so I have been having a strange kind of headache. It is a pressure felt right at the top of my head. Sometimes there is a little pain around the edges, still on the top but a little further off from the pressure point. In years past, in that same area, I would also get a quick pain, it felt like someone had put an ice pick through my skull, and then it would pass. Now, this seems to have moved on to something different. Because of this, I tend to think whatever it is, is not serious, just another 'bother', of which seem to pile up as I get older.
I was going to just wait and see (as stupid as that sounds, or is), but Rose would not let that happen. So I called the VA at the East Point clinic in South Atlanta and got an appointment. So I went, saw the Doctor, who is very good, I have no complaints with the VA, the one here in Atlanta is truly wonderful, at least my experience. When I go I just make sure have lots of reading material, so no matter how long the wait, it goes pretty quickly.
The visit went well, I passed the different test, but even then the doctor wants me to have a CT scan of my pointed little head. It is truly a strange place to be, waiting for an appointment to see if there is indeed a serious problem. Even if I am almost sure there isn't one, it can lead to thoughts mostly never entertained.
What if? Could this be the time when the doctor has to set me down and give the bad news? "You have only so long to live, we can try this or that, in the end you may live 5 years, if you don't try anything kind of treatment, well you could die in 3 years." Yes, a strange place to be. But not uncommon, for in the end most of us will sicken of something that will lead to our death.
I look at things differently at least for now; not in the sense that I 'know' that I will die soon, but that one day a visit will most likely be the way that my curtain of denial will be ripped away and I will really have to face the reality of my temporality. What then? How will I react? My scenarios tend to be of the sort that makes my ego preen itself......I can be such a silly rabbit at times.
I think when that moment comes; it will be one of deep fear and denial at least at first. I will, of course, hear the words, but the truth of them may take some time to sink in. What then? I would think that it is a lonely land to be in, knowing that this world will soon be over, and the reality of one's doubts will raise to the surface. Faith and doubt dance together, which one will lead, the other follow? Being a man of faith, I hope it will be faith that does the leading, but who knows? Perhaps my relationship with doubt will have to deepen, be faced and accepted, but then, will I doubt my doubt? I think for many, that is what faith is, doubting doubt, for it can be easier not to believe than to hope for what one cannot see. Perhaps all of our belief systems are based on faith. For the belief that science is the only way to find the truth, is not something that can be proven. Science is about the world of objects, the depth of the heart, our deep inner longings, well that is for other avenues of knowledge; perhaps more important than science.
It seems we can't get away from questioning, seeking, no matter where we are on life's journey. That is what perhaps we are all made for. I may doubt at times, but if I were an atheist, I think my doubts would be a lot more vehement than they are now for me as one who seeks the eternal, and often feel myself really being the one perused. So many paradoxes on the path, incidents to ponder, that make atheism seem like a possibility, but one that is unlikely, at least for me.
Proofs of God, in the end, are personal, not scientific, for God is not an object among other objects, hence the impossibility of proving anything about its existence or non-existence. For some atheism makes the most sense and I say, good for them. We each must take a stand and move forward living lives flowing from our beliefs. Though failure is also part of the journey, everyone's; at least from my experience. To date, I have seen no exceptions. So when hypocrisy is flung at me, I say "yes, of course, I fail, I am a sinner, and so my being a hypocrite at times should not surprise anyone, least of all me". Or when others fall, well, as the saying goes: "there but for the grace of God go I"; is something well worth pondering--BrMD

London, UK —TechNavio, a tech-focused research firm, has published a new report on the Global Smart Waste Market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.82 percent from 2014-2019. According to the report, the use of smart waste technologies minimizes the overall cost involved in solid municipal waste collection. These technologies use RFID and sensor-based containers that facilitate real-time, easy-to-use web portal services for fill level measurement.
Smart containers contain sensors help authorities to manage solid waste collecting routes, which ultimately reduces fuel and service cost. Proper and efficient management of solid municipal waste can mitigate many problems related to pollution, climatic changes, and public health.
"The sensor-based container is a battery-powered wireless device that helps reduce the overall collection and logistics cost of waste disposal by approximately 50 percent," says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio. "The decrease in the cost of solid municipal waste collection thanks to smart waste technologies is an important factor that will propel growth in the Global Smart Waste Market in the coming years."
The new report also emphasizes key advances in technology in the waste management process. A wide range of waste management technologies have evolved in the fields of waste collection, transportation and disposal, including landfilling, composting, recycling and incineration. "Highly efficient and advanced waste treatment technologies like plasma arc gasification and pyrolysis are gaining momentum in developed countries," says Ghaus.
The new report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Smart Waste market for the period 2015-2019. The report has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the APAC and EMEA regions; it also covers the Global Smart Waste market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

By CM Gorey
Photography rules our lives now. And unless you're a staunch Luddite with something to prove, you're a contributor and a consumer from first coffee cup through alarm-setting before bed. We have transitioned from the point-and-shoot, badly lit grease fests of 1980s homespun glossies to teeming libraries of filters swizzling images into preposterous concoctions: At essentially zero cost, we make ourselves years younger, abnormally wide-eyed and emitting suspect amounts of sparkles. Undermining the camera's basic function of mirroring reality, we yield ever further to absorbing and reflecting more fantasy.
Yet given the unlimited potential for new visions, there's a sameness to most of the imagery we swipe past. A cheap currency of storytelling dominates the images we see; it's a totalitarian vogue insinuated by so-called influencers and perfect people we've never met.
In a world inundated with visuals, it's an incredible feat that the fine art of photography persists. More implausible still, the work of Brooklyn-based husband-and-wife team WAXenVINE requires an in-person (yeah, real life) visit to appreciate it properly. Their show "TORN" at Second Street Gallery recasts the medium in a manner that shows a depth muted by the very best phone displays; its quality invites in-the-flesh meditation that is otherwise disguised to an unfair flatness when replicated by even good old print.
Photographer Scott Irvine and interdisciplinary artist Kim Meinelt share a singular artistic vision. Their multifaceted images recall early vintage photo portraiture, but the subjects commingle with skyward or taxonomic shots of fauna and flora in upended perspectives; the guts of simple machines recast them in daunting tangles; and inverted negatives find them under obscured, scratched treatments.
"TORN" deals primarily with the female figure and alternative views of beauty, which, according to the artists, aim to conjure an uneasy yet ethereal narrative. If the stratification of the pieces is successful, it's because when we drill down beneath the gloss of the topmost layer, peer into the blur of intentional overexposure and wounded focus, we're still met with mystery. Look and look some more. These people refuse to be seen.
It's easy to assume a commentary on the objectification of femininity, given the women fogged out by bird feathers and muddied up by chandeliers. But like the physical composition of the works themselves, it goes deeper.
WAXenVINE's photographs defy the expected benefits of sight by squelching the clarity associated with proximity. We're so close but still can't be completely sure what it is we're looking at: Is that woman upset or in total bliss? In pain or ecstasy? And where is she?
The abstractions are ripe for interpretation: Generated in spontaneous reaction to calibrate the experience, our projected narratives serve to pound a stake in the rare islands of surety the artists have allotted for us. We know that's a woman and that's a tree, but that knowledge doesn't reveal ambition and it never exposes unguarded emotion.
Looking over these pieces together in Second Street's Dové Gallery, it's apparent that many of the captured figures are complicit in the viewer's ignorance. They are unable or unwilling to look back at us from their umbral warrens, and their lack of eyes —or in some instances, featureless faces—make the problem all the more convoluted for the viewer.
The titles of three-foot square works dominating two of the gallery walls acknowledge the female subjects beyond scrutiny. Landscapes meld with bodies, flesh becomes dust, which becomes flesh. In "Milka Torn," the subject's arms in a defensive self-hug hold back a forest of stars erupting from her chest, as a windswept wasteland tumultuously rolls in the distance. "Caitin Torn" catches either a woman's final moments before dissolving into the earth, or the beginning of her revival in the desiccating greenery. New life or old death? This could be the underlying question that drives WAXenVINE.
One section containing 23 smaller pieces transforms into smaller square windows peering into a monochrome freakshow or an advent calendar from an asylum. "Pins + Needles" gives an unlucky lady the voodoo doll treatment, while "Blythe" loses the majority of her orifices to an implosion of botany; same goes for the pivot-face locked in the floral wheel of "Dandelion," and for "Elizabeth," whose profile has birthed bulbs, her graceful throat repurposed as a field from which the long stems grow. In the ruff of blooms of the darkened "Tara + Flower," the motif is repeated in the cycle of life and the irrepressible profusion of beauty.
No less effective, other works such as "Tara Beads," "Sylvie," and "Markert Gold" ignite their black-and-white expanses with golden hues. By creating a richness of contour and replicating the trope of interconnectedness—woman as tree, branches as a gilded x-ray of veins and capillaries—the portraits carry the faintest traces of Klimt-style woman worship. The layers of each, in concert, bridge the scientific and the religious. We may not understand everything, but perhaps we know enough to believe what we see.
