Proposals to Supplement SB 61 and Further Strengthen Oregon's Cultural Resource Laws V. Conclusion
Archaeological research indicates that indigenous peoples first populated parts of Oregon more than 13,000 years ago.(1) Excavations near Malheur Lake in the Great Basin region of Oregon have uncovered sagebrush bark sandals, rabbitskin robes, nets, grinding tools, and weapons dating back more than 6,000 years.(2) While tribal communities thrived throughout the state, the area around The Dalles was a particularly active major trading center for the entire Northwest region.(3) During the summer months, as many as 22,000 people gathered to exchange goods and stock up on salmon from the abundant harvest.(4) Recent discoveries of Minnesota pipestone, Southwestern turquoise, Alaskan copper, and idols of apparent Mayan origin attest to The Dalles' vast trading network.(5)
Traces of the pervasive historical presence of native tribes in Oregon have proved tempting for artifact collectors. Valuable archaeological sites have been looted and Native American graves plundered for years.(6) When the passage of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA)(7) in 1979 made it illegal to excavate or surface collect on federal lands, professional looters and hobbyists simply transferred their activities to state and private lands, where the dearth of laws protecting such sites enabled them to loot with near impunity.(8) Federal public lands are still targets, however. A recent study by the U.S. Forest Service reports that professional looters on federal lands have simply become more sophisticated in their methods of evading apprehension.(9) Although professional looters generally decimate a single site, the vast legions of casual collectors and weekend hobbyists wreak far more cumulative damage over larger areas.(10)
The effect of the loss of these historic and cultural resources cannot be underestimated. Fragile archaeological sites cannot be replaced, and much valuable information is lost to future study.(11) Aside from the objective scientific importance of these sites, however, damage to Indian burial sites, no matter how ancient, causes genuine grief in contemporary tribal members, who feel as strong a connection with ancient ancestors as with grandparents and great-grandparents.(12)
To add insult to this psychic injury, in Oregon, as in other states, prosecutors have had a very difficult time securing convictions against violators.(13) These difficulties stem from two different sources. The first is local sympathy towards corectors--many communities consider relic hunting a harmless recreational activity.(14) The problem this presents becomes particularly pronounced when artifact collecting in an area is so pervasive that it becomes impossible to pick an impartial jury.(15)
The second difficulty prosecutors face is proving the violation. In the past, Oregon law contained three major statutory loopholes that enabled violators to undermine the prosecutor's case. First, while the Oregon statutes allowed collecting on private land pursuant to the landowner's written permission,(16) the statute did not explicitly require prior written permission. …

Advantages of Water Purification
There are various methods which are undertaken for dirty water to be taken apart from impurities and other additional unwanted parts of it in order to attain having clean and pure water. Water purification is a process through which dirty and contaminated water is made clean and uncontaminated by use of chemicals and various processes which are then used to set aside the impurities from the water to help in attaining of fresh, uncontaminated water.
Diseases associated with dirty and contaminated water are very many and are also known to be of dire effects on the human beings who suffer from them hence there is need to ensure that water supplied to people is clean and safe for all uses it may be required for and that all unsafe water is treated before getting to humans for whatever usage or consumption. Water borne diseases have In the past been pointed out as a very dangerous phenomena which ought to be fought with and prevented to getting to the people as early as they are detected since they are a threat to all living human beings hence it is essential to use all water purification means and ways in order to offer this protection. Water purification comes in handy in prevention of spread of water borne diseases which have through research been established as killer diseases and which could readily consume a large population of people if not watched keenly by all the people.
Water purification is an essential way of ensuring that water which is wasted is very minimal since it makes it possible through the various treatment processes that the water is safe for use once more and that the amount of water which is eventually wasted is negligible hence making water purification a very vital process which sees to it that very minimal water is lost and that most of it are made safe again for reusing.
Though there are other chemical and much expensive ways of water purification there are other simple water purification methods which do not require expertise to be in a position to practice them and can be readily done at home through having few necessary skills and knowledge hence proving that water purification is a cheap and affordable to human beings making it possible for them to be in a position to acquire and access clean and safe water at no cost at all and is hence available and affordable to human beings of all walks of life.
Short Course on Health – Covering The Basics
Clean safe and pure water is one way of characterizing a good governance which can only be achieved if citizens of a state can access this fresh water by its purification being overseen by their government since in most cases the process of the water purification undertaken could be much expensive if done at a personal level hence the need for the states to establish a larger water purification scheme which could also be done at large scale whereby, most of these procedures used to end up being very expensive since they collect already used water from the various residential collection points and can then clean the water which is then eventually tapped back to the society.Learning The Secrets About Purifiers

Psalm 3
A Psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom
1: O Lord how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!
2: Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him."
3: But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
4: To the Lord I cry out loud and he answers me from his holy hill.
5: I lie down and sleep. I wake again because the Lord sustains me.
6: I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn against me on every side.
7: Arise O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
8: From the Lord comes deliverance, May your blessing be on your people.
Psalm 4
1: Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
2: How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?
3: Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him.
4: In you anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
5: Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord.
6: Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord.
7: You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.
8: I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Tiny Tails: The Micro Pig Pop-Up
The ultimate millennial goal of being able to take a selfie with a miniature pig, sure to get you a plethora of social media likes, is about to become a reality. Hogwash, I hear you yell! But for one day only Tiny Tails will be allowing animal friendly attendees to get up close and personal with our precious porcine pals. The event will take place 27th July from 12-2pm as part of Merchant Square's 'Summer of Fun'; a series of free events and activities this summer.
On the day there will also be opportunities to play with rabbits on the lawn but this isn't just for self-indulgent fun. Studies have shown that petting animals can reduce stress levels and boost productivity in the work place so Tiny Tails is putting this idea to the test as workers flock from far and wide to inject some cuteness into their lunchbreak.
Local restaurants KuPP, M&S Café and Lockhouse will be open offering delicious lunch options as well as the brand new Floating Pocket Park which is ideal for picnics. Other events to keep an eye out for at Merchant Square include live screenings of sporting events such as Wimbledon, a pamper day, live music and fitness activities.
Due to unforeseen circumstances this event has now been cancelled, but we will keep you updated.

Preventive Dentistry
Preventive Care – The Foundations for a Beautiful Smile
You don't start building a house by hanging pictures on a wall! You need a good foundation to build on, right? It's the same with your smile. Whether your goal is good family dental care or a complete esthetic smile makeover, we start exactly the same way, with comprehensive exams, hygiene, and preventive strategies.
Comprehensive Exams
At your first visit, and periodically thereafter, we perform a comprehensive exam where we take a complete set of digital and panoramic images of your entire mouth. Dr. Briscoe will evaluate your teeth for decay and examine the condition of current restorations. Your bite, occlusion, TMJ and gum tissue will also be evaluated. Every treatment room is computerized and fitted with monitors mounted above the dental chairs. We use a hand-held camera and you'll be able to see exactly what we see, at the same time.
Oral Cancer Screening
We carefully examine your mouth for any signs of oral cancer. It's important to have regular checkups and screenings to catch oral cancer in its earliest stages.
Digital X-rays
Digital imagery gives us X-rays in more detail than was possible with traditional, film-based X-rays. And it's environmentally friendly as well, since we no longer have to dispose of the films.
We'll give your teeth a great start, or maintain your oral health by cleaning them with ultrasonic scalers, such as the Cavitron. The Cavitron removes plaque and calculus and flushes it away at the same time with a water jet.
Periodontal Treatment
If we find any evidence of periodontal (gum) disease, such as inflammation, tenderness, or bleeding, we will first remove any plaque and calculus (hardened plaque) that cause the inflammation that leads to gum disease. We do this through root planing, using the Cavitron scalers. They use ultrasonic waves to remove calculus above and below the gum line.
We can also apply a topical antibiotic to help treat periodontal disease.
For more information on Treatment, please watch this video.
For more information on Preventing Periodontal, please watch this video.
CariFree Screening and Treatment
Dr. Briscoe is a provider of the CariFree system that identifies how high your risk is for decay and cavities. With that information, Dr. Briscoe can recommend preventive and treatment strategies to help prevent cavities from recurring. It's based on your personal risk factors, such as smoking, diet, medications, etc. Preventive strategies can include a change in diet, pit & fissure sealants, fluoride treatment or antibacterial rinses.
For more information, please watch this video.
Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is one of the most important discoveries in medicine for its ability to help prevent cavities. We apply a fluoride varnish to children at every visit, and to adults as needed, based on their individual risk for caries.
Mouthguards are plastic appliances that protect your teeth in a variety of circumstances. They may help prevent snoring, or protect the teeth while playing sports.

J.G. Biberkopf is an alter-ego of Gediminas Žygus, whose past works and collaborations were exhibited and performed in Berghain (Berlin), Pompidou (Paris), Barbican (London), Paradiso (Amsterdam), The Kitchen (NYC), CAC, Rupert (Vilnius) among others. He was part of the co-ordinating team of Newman Festival 2015, and is part of the coordinating team of Unthinkable Nomos. During October and November 2016, Biberkopf worked on a series of new pieces during a residency at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest.
'I started with adapting my previous pieces into a spatial form and it was surprising that my music really worked well without much extra work.' says Biberkopf. 'In fact, a lot of the references that I would struggle to make work in stereo were actually becoming more tangible on the 4D system. They become so much more literal and physical, and therefore more readable by the audience.'
Biberkopf works within the paradoxical relationship between club music and art music. His work is typified by assembling collages spanning a range of influences from dark ecology, sound studies, architecture, media theory, existentialist movements, post-dramatic theatre, grime, musique concrète and more.
'I really appreciated the realistic effect of the system so I tried out different ecological sounds. As an example I'm using a sound of a door in one of the pieces and I've located it where the actual door is in the studio space, creating a strange sensation among the listeners. In another scene I could actually believe there are birds above me, but theres no physical body there, so it leaves you with this interesting abstract feeling in the end. There were some moments when I tried to challenge the possibilities. For example, at one point I used sonic 'pictures' from different spaces, around 20-30 of them, and I rebuild them in 4DSOUND as a fast sequence of spaces, letting the audience go through them acoustically.'
His approach to working with sound spatially reflects more broadly Biberkopf's overall musical practice, namely the urge to compose self-sufficient sound ecologies that cannot be traced back to him as a creator, but that rather seems to originate from the actual environment. In this vein, he works intensively with aural signifiers, taking sounds that are eminent in public sphere, and noises that work as signs or memes, to explore the semiotics of sound.
'I think the 4D system has a potential for extremely amazing club experiences but I think this is something that should be used more for installations because it just offers so many possibilities to create art out of the normal frames, in an unexplored manner that no other sound system could achieve.'

The Dumb New Teen Trend Involves Sleeping In Dressers At IKEA
We certainly are fans of IKEA around here. Affordably priced Swedish furniture is practically our love language, and bargain meatballs aren't anything to sneeze at, either. But we draw the line at, you know, sneaking in and spending the night inside a dresser, which is what teens are now doing to gain YouTube fame.
Mashable reported this week that an 11 year old boy in the UK didn't make it home from school, triggering a frantic police search for him. But he reappeared the next day, having never been kidnapped or hurt; instead, he had spent the night inside a MALM dresser at IKEA.
According to his father, the boy got the idea from a viral YouTube trend called the "24 hour challenge", where teens are spending the night inside businesses and uploading videos as proof.
According to Vice, the trend started in 2016, when two Belgian teens spent the night in a closet at IKEA, and the trend has since expanded with videos of kids overnight in McDonald's play places, Chuck E. Cheeses, Walmarts, and water parks.
Sure, IKEA does a good job of making their stores a fun place to hang out and relax—but maybe a bit too much. The retailer has had to crack down on in-store hide and seek games in the Netherlands and shoppers taking naps in China. IKEA does occasionally offer overnights in-store as a promotional event, but definitely not inside furniture.
"We appreciate that people are interested in IKEA and want to create fun experiences, however the safety and security of our co-workers and customers is our highest priority which is why we do not allow sleepovers in our stores," a spokesperson told the BBC after two 14 year old girls spent the night in a store in Sweden in 2016.
And there's more at risk than the possibility of getting charged with trespassing; a thread on Quora sites some other possible trouble a prankster could get into, including risks to their safety or the safety of others.
South Yorkshire police told Metro that "warehouses and shopping departments contain large quantities of heavy stock and items that could easily fall and crush someone if they are moved incorrectly."
Bored teens are going to get their kicks somehow, but maybe don't eat detergent, and maybe don't sleep in dressers.

South Gippsland
South Gippsland Shire Council
18 Mar 2014 - Caravan parks are a protected species? - South Gippsland Sentinal Times
- The tourism sector is split over a plan by South Gippsland Shire Council to attract more visitors.Council wants to promote the Franklin River Reserve at Toora, Bass Valley Camping Ground between Poowong and Loch, and Buckley Park, Fish Creek to entice the rapidly growing self-contained Recreation Vehicle (RV) market. Elizabeth White, CEO of the Victorian Caravan Parks Association and Rachael Brown of the Toora Tourist Park and also those that are not seasoned travellers need to realise that those self-contained RV travellers that choose to use free and low cost camp sites will not be coerced or forced to use caravan parks or pay to use their dump points. When they do stay in caravan parks, it has to be by choice.

On Cooperation in a World Where Violence is Too Frequent
Anthony J. Garascia
On April 15, 2013 I received this message from my daughter Margaret, who was I Boston watching a friend run the Boston Marathon: "Wanted to let everyone know I'm ok. We were watching outside in downtown". She was referring to the bombing that had just happened at the end of the course.
That same day, all across Michiana, attendance had been down at area schools due to a graffiti message scribbled on the bathroom wall of a Department of Motor Vehicle branch. There was a vague threat to kill students at various schools.
We live in a world that is uncertain and which seems to more often than not lose its bearings. If you ask many parents their main concern is for the safety of their children. How do we not only create safety in our classrooms and families, but how do we teach a different way of non-violent cooperation to our children?
I heard a report recently on apologies. Seems that when we don't apologize and hold our ground we actually feel better about ourselves. Does this help explain why so many people have a hard time apologizing and forgiving?
Sometimes in our society cooperation and tolerance appears wimpy, like you are giving in, that you have no backbone. Americans tend to be fiercely competitive. A competitive strategy works many times, yet it also creates winners and losers. And sometimes both the winners and losers nurse grudges and grievances, which can, if left unchecked result in verbal and physical aggression.
But what would happen if also taught cooperative strategies that create "win-win" situations. These strategies would have us listen to the stories and experiences of the other and understand the commonality in them. This is essentially what we do when we work with a couple or family that is having extreme conflict. We try to find the common ground that unites people, then grow the strength of that common ground.
Being cooperative and willing to listen t doesn't mean sacrificing one's principles; one can hold fast to them but in a way that is non-violent and respectful of the other. To be cooperative and be willing to listen and compromise might seem wimpy to some. Yet it remains a powerful alternative to an extreme competitive spirit that divides the world into winners and losers.

After being in New Jersey for a hot minute to run the half marathon, I am now back in New York. I am exhausted and slightly dehydrated (at least I think that is what the headache is all about) and don't really have the energy to write a long post right now. I just wanted to say, though, that I finished the 13.1 miles in 2:11, ran the whole way, and felt much better than I thought I would.
Sigh of relief :)

It may have taken Cynthia McCormick 20 years to finish the college degree she started in high school, but she says she wouldn't change a thing about the life that "got in the way."
Cynthia McCormick is a widowed mother of four children, a Northeastern Technical College graduate, the President of the NETC Student Government Association, and now a recently elected town councilwoman in Patrick. She has a lot on her plate, but she's always been committed to earning a college degree, which will happen this spring when she walks across the stage to accept her Associate in Science in Criminal Justice.
According to Cynthia, the road to her associate's degree has been a long one, because "life happened," but over the years, she never lost sight of her goal.
Cynthia began working towards her college degree in 1995 as a Cheraw High School student with Northeastern Technical College's Dual Enrollment program. Following high school, she used the college credits she earned to enroll in NETC's Criminal Justice certificate program, which she completed in 1997.
After NETC, life moved fast. Cynthia moved to Columbia and worked for the state correctional system while taking more college courses at Midlands Tech. A few years later, she re-connected with a man she had known since childhood, fell in love, and moved back to her hometown of Patrick. Life happily happened. Cynthia had children and nurtured her growing family. In 2004, Cynthia found her passion for a career in criminal justice system re-kindled while working with disadvantaged and troubled youth at AMI Kids in (town).
"I have always been passionate about service, because my mother taught me that giving back was important. I wanted to help troubled kids, and I knew that a criminal justice degree could be helpful," Cynthia said. "Neither of my parents finished school beyond the eighth grade, my mother and I actually learned to read together. Education and service are two very important aspects in my life."
In 2013, Cynthia's life changed drastically when her husband suffered a heart attack, and died suddenly. As a single mother, with two teenagers and two pre-school aged children counting on her, Cynthia couldn't allow the tragedy to derail her life.
"My husband's death really motivated me to do something and finish my degree," she said. "Recently, my son was recently diagnosed with autism, so I don't know what will happen. But, I do know that now it's more important than ever to finish what I started. People are counting on me, and I have to set a good example."
In fall of 2013, Cynthia was on campus to help her teenage daughter enroll at NETC, when she learned the Criminal Justice program had expanded, allowing students to earn their Associates Degree, and she knew that the time had come to get her college education back on track.
"It was a little scary even thinking about going back to school," said Cynthia. "I knew that I was going to be older than most students, but instead of it being a problem I think it's worked to my advantage."
Cynthia feels that with maturity comes wisdom, and says the younger students sometimes look to her for help.
"I take my classes more seriously now than when I was younger. I am driven to learn," said Cynthia. "I take good notes, I'm always in class, and my classmates know that I am not afraid to speak up and ask the questions they won't."
Cynthia says that many programs at NETC have helped her along the way. She uses free tutoring services, available through support services, to ensure that she doesn't lag behind, and works with her advisor to ensure she's on track to transfer her degree to Coker College next fall.
"I know there are lots of people who can say that "life" got in the way of their education, but you live and learn," she said. "I wouldn't have wanted it any differently, I love being a parent, and didn't want to miss anything with my kids."
Cynthia thinks that no matter your age or circumstance, you are never too old to start, or finish college.
"Life may have gotten in the way, but it didn't stop me. I have no regrets."

The family-owned Grey Bull Hotel in Haltwhistle has seen a more than 40 per cent increase in guest bookings after receiving business support from Arch's Business Northumberland programme.
The Grey Bull, a four-star, cycle-friendly facility with six en-suite bedrooms, is owned and run by Gary and Kathryn Witheyman, who have more than 40 years of experience in the hospitality sector, having previously owned hotels in Dorset, Torquay and Tynemouth.
Both Gary and his daughter Jayne, who manages the B&B's website, attended a variety of the fully-funded Business Northumberland workshops, finding the social-media, marketing and website courses the most useful.
Visit www.businessnorth umberland.co.uk
Gary said: "We have been supported greatly by the Business Northumberland programme, especially from the social-media, marketing and web design workshops that we have attended.
"The Business Northumberland programme has been invaluable to us and we are extremely grateful. As a very small business, we would not normally have been able to afford this support otherwise."

National Geographic, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and a dozen ad agencies-including Ogilvy & Mather, Bates USA, Wells Rich Greene BDDP, Bozell and TBWA Chiat/Day, all New York-have also signed on.
While none except Conde Nast have indicated they will abandon the embattled MRI, the letters underscore the increasing controversy surrounding magazine research.
Conde Nast has said it will drop MRI when its $1.5 million contract expires at the end of 1997 (AA, April 15). TV Guide is also said to be close to endorsing the Audits & Surveys research, expected to be released next March.
"The truth of the matter is that we have enough letters of intent to make this viable," said Paul Donato, senior VP-director of media and communications research at Audits & Surveys.
The proposed research will use a mail survey to measure primary readers of a magazine or national newspaper. That can be important to publications that have high-quality demographics but low pass-along rates.
MRI Chairman-CEO Alain Tessier is working with a task force from the Magazine Publishers of America on research issues and MRI has met at least once with top officials at Conde Nast, but so far the talks have gone nowhere.
If anything, Conde Nast has stepped up the level of its attack against MRI in recent weeks.
"They are deliberately overloading their survey," said Steve Blacker, Conde Nast VP-research. He said the 200-page survey is primarily funded by magazine publishers, but that MRI is measuring other media and brand habits and selling results to a range of media and marketing companies.
"That's a ridiculous charge," said Mr. Tessier.
To track primary readers, Audits & Surveys proposes to mail a 12-page questionnaire to a magazine's subscribers and use bind-in questionnaires to reach newsstand buyers. Unlike MRI and Simmons Market Research Bureau, the company won't try to decipher other media or product habits.
Simmons also relies on in-person interviews with 10,000 respondents. While much of the recent heat has focused on MRI, Simmons already lost Conde Nast and some other big customers several years ago when it adopted new research methodology.
Still, few see the untested new survey as an overnight replacement for Simmons and MRI.
"I see Audits & Survey as an enhancement, not a replacement for syndicated research," said Rene Clepper, director of marketing research at National Geographic.

Ahmadinejad: If Zionist Regime Makes Another Mistake It Faces End of Its Existence
Mahmoud Ahamadinejad warned Israel of a crushing response. (ISNA)
Illegitimate Iranian Regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Israeal today that if it made another mistake it "has to face the end of its existence."
Iranian Fars News reported:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday warned the Zionist regime against any further act of sabotage and aggression against the regional countries, stressing that any repetition of previous mistakes by the Zionists will be reciprocated by a crushing response "If the Zionist regime takes (an aggressive) action against the regional countries, specially Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Palestine and other countries, the regional nations will give the hated regime a crushing response," Ahmadinejad said, addressing a gathering of people in the eastern province of South Khorassan.
Ahmadinejad cautioned that certain countries are inciting the regime to attack its neighbors, and said, "I contacted the presidents of the Zionist regime's neighbors and was briefed on the latest developments and told them to be ready and they announced that they were prepared."
Ahmadinejad said that he has told the neighbors of the Zionist regime that if the regime makes another mistake, it has to face the end of its existence.

The ACT Greens have continued to focus on affordable housing ahead of the October election, announcing they will develop a new housing affordability action plan and wherever possible will dedicate 10% of housing on all government owned infill sites to affordable housing.
"Housing affordability is a major priority for the Greens. We want young people to land on their feet, and to be able to afford a home," said ACT Greens housing spokesperson Veronica Wensing.
"This generation of home-leavers is the first that will be worse off than their parents - and they are forecast to never be able to afford their own home. That should be reason enough to put affordable housing at the top of every government's agenda.
"Labor and the Liberals have had decades to address this, but they have failed.
"If the last twenty years have shown us anything, it's that housing affordability is not a problem that can simply be left to the market. That's why we're announcing that we'll put the community first by requiring that wherever possible, 10% of housing on all infill sites owned by government be affordable housing.
"We'll set income criteria for applications to ensure that properties go to people in genuine need.
"Our 10% requirement will ensure that we have more affordable housing maintained in the inner north and south. That means more people will be able to afford a house to live in, and stay in Canberra doing the jobs they want to do.
"The community is calling out for action. The Greens are the only party that is putting the community first and answering that call," said Ms Wensing.

Tchefuncte, wayzgoose, Hypapante, gifblaar and marocain all paved the way to victory for 12-year-old Ananya Vinay, who has been crowned the Scripps National Spelling Bee champ of 2017.
The Fresno, California sixth-grader spelled all those words correctly, before nailing the final word marocain — a dress fabric made from rayon, wool or silk — to clinch the title on Thursday evening.
The contest came down to a 21-round head-to-head between Vinay and eighth-grader Rohan Rajeev. Her opponent successfully tackled words like cheiropompholyx and emphyteusis, but lost after he incorrectly spelled marram, a type of beach grass, at the annual event held in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
"If you try your best, you're a winner," said Vinay, in an interview after her win. She was participating in the national finals for the second time, after tying for 172nd place in 2016. Second-place winner Rajeev, from Edmond, Oklahoma, was participating in his first National Spelling Bee.
Vinay takes home a $40,000 cash prize and trophy, along with a $2,500 U.S. savings bond and complete reference library, a trip to New York City and Hollywood. Second-placed Rajeev walks away with $30,000, while third and fourth-place winners receive $20,000 and $10,000, respectively.
Here's the moment of victory:
"It's not a surprise for me. She worked hard for it," said Ananya's father, Vinay Sreekumar, according to a Scripps blog post. He added that his daughter, who says she wants to be a doctor, is highly self-motivated.
This year, the spelling bee has a single winner for the first time since 2013, having had two kids sharing the title over the past three years.
About 11 million children participated across the U.S., and the eventual finalists represented the top 0.000026% of that pool. Contenders had to advance through school, local and regional bees to reach the final stage of the contest, which has been run since 1925 by E.W. Scripps SSP, -1.92% , one of the nation's largest independent TV station owners.
Among other highlights of this year's contest was one of the youngest-ever finalists — home-schooled 6-year-old Edith Fuller, who qualified when she was five. The contest is open to students who are eighth-graders or younger.
And as always, the words are tough as nails, as this tweeter pointed out:

Minister launches app to track rural electrification
Aiming to provide access to electricity to all households in the country, the Minister of States (I/C) for Power, Coal, New & Renewable Energy and Mines, Piyush Goyal launched the 'GARV-II' app here on Tuesday.
Under this module, village-wise and habilitation-wise base line data on household electrification for all states, as provided by them, has been incorporated. While explaining the features of 'GARV-II' app the minister said that, "The data in respect of about 6 lakh habitations having 17 crore people, has been mapped for tracking progress on household electrification in each of the habitations of these villages, which is a remarkable progress over the previous GARV app."
The government has already claimed that, in the earlier version of the 'GARV' app, launched in October, 2015 for the effective and efficient monitoring of village electrification program, the data of only 18, 452 un-electrified villages had been mapped and 12-stage milestone-based monitoring mechanism was put in place.
Adding further, Mr. Goyal also mentioned that, "The status of village-wise works sanctioned under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) and release of funds to the states for these projects has also been mapped in 'GARV-II' to monitor progress of works in each village."
The progress is also required to be updated by the implementing agencies of the states on day to day basis. All data would be made available in public domain to ensure transparency, enhance accountability of various stakeholders and facilitate view near real time progress. The minister also urged the state governments to determine an average price for electricity connections for APL (Above Poverty Line) families across the state so that they can be given electricity connections through the option of paying by easy monthly installments.

Operation hibernation
All our bubbas are well again and at home under the same roof, and we have embarked on what I like to call operation hibernation. Or more accurately, operation isolation.
For the next eight weeks or so (!), until the weather gets a little warmer, the winter germs less aggressive and the babies are bigger and stronger, we are staying indoors and feeding, feeding, feeding (the babies that is, not just my face with yummy hot chocolate). That means not going out to see friends or family, not going to birthday parties, not venturing to the shops. And only taking walks with the twins in the pram at midday when it's warm and they are safely snuggled under a pile of blankies.
We're also keeping Lilia at home for a few weeks so she doesn't bring back any bugs from preschool.
All of this is as fun as it sounds. But when you've sat next to a baby in NICU, you don't care what you have to do to try and never go back there again.
So while I feel that the world is passing me by and that I've really and truly checked out of life, something I've discovered about myself over the past few crazy weeks is that I need projects, lists and tasks to keep me busy and active and my mind off of things. It's just my coping mechanism.
I'm going to throw myself into organising our photographs from the past few years and create some photo books, an activity that is likely to keep me busy for a long time in cold dark winter evenings.
Other plans include eating copious amounts of soup, pasta and chocolate, hanging around in my slippers and drinking some good red wine.
And then I'm going to plan my spring cleaning and dream of the long summer days and happy chubby babies that lie ahead. Wish me luck.

In THE BIG ONE?, the first post on this blog. November 2009, the recorded synchronicity connected to Helen and Special Kthat led to a pre warning about the Chile earthquake is all linked to Helen Kogan.
Helen recently left Mexico and went to India. A few posts ago I stated that her trip to Mexico may be connected to a significant earthquake.
Her six month trip starting in India ends in Egypt.
I just sent this email to Helen Kogan.
Something just happened. A Special K ad appeared in Yahoo and I mentioned it to Elaine, then we talked about your trip to India and I searched for your email about your 6 month trip. When I came out of it there was an email from Colleen in America, it said, Who is Helen Kogan?
That timing must be important. It led to Elaine mentioning a thing that happened in Kodaikanal involving a pendant that I had found lying in the road in Leicester. It was heart shaped with the single letter K on it.
Synchronicity in Kodai involving that K heart pendant led to a very important timed link to 3 connected subjects. I had to give the pendant to a girl that the code Identified as the reincarnation of Akenhaten's wife Kiya, note the Egyption link Just at that time a discovery was made in Egypt, a huge previously unseen asteroid crater was found. It had not been noticed before because it is so big. Kebira means..wait for it ... THE BIG ONE.
I can't remember the third K link but will check it out.
But notice the link way back then, 2006, to K and THE BIG ONE. I think the balloon is going up in July.
I presume you know about the Mexican quake?, in my blog a month or so ago I said that your trip to Mexico should be noted with regard to a possible Earthquake. The area where it hit is the baja penninsula, the same area that hurricane Rick pointed to, the place where the quake happened on your dad's birthday, near the three Marias and Isla Magdalena. July 22nd is Mary Magdalene's feast day and the next Pi date.
It appears to be the end of the 22 link.
After posting the above an amazing thing happened.
I had posted the title Happy Pi Day on Julie Redknapp's forum BEFORE the Special K link to Helen occurred and Colleen's email arrived so, as it turned out, the scene was already set.
Please ignore the antagonistic comments in this stream put there by two extremely sad and vile people named Julie Redknapp, Stephen Walls -
Please also understand that I had very good reason to respond to them with unsavoury comments of my own.
I HAVE LEFT THEM ALL IN THE STREAM BECAUSE THEY HELP TO SHOW THE TIMING OF THE REALLY IMPORTANT FACTORS RELATING TO THE FURTHER SYNCHRONISED CONFIRMATION THAT JULY 22ND (Pi Day) IS A VERY IMPORTANT DATE BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING VERY BIG IS GOING TO OCCUR AT THAT TIME.

Human Resource professionals can't go wrong when they recommend long-term International Medical insurance for their employees working and living abroad.
Your employees look to you for advice and recommendations when taking a foreign assignment.
- Where should I live?
- Are there schools near for my kids?
- What kind of license do I need to drive?
- What about income tax?
- Who do I call during an emergency?
- Are there certain customs I need to be aware of?
- Do I need medical insurance for my family?
These and many other questions need to be addressed before departure.
- Individual (Long & Short-Term Plans)
- Employer Group Plans (2 or more global employees)
- International Student (High School, Jr. College, University, etc.)
International Medical insurance for your employees provides the protection, benefit coverage and risk management services for your foreign workforce.
If an emergency strikes while abroad, you don't want your employees calling you. That is not your responsibility. Their international medical carrier is available 24/7/365 to assist them in any medical situation.
From locating a doctor or hospital, to paying for illness and injury costs such as; surgery, dr. visits, Rx, maternity, lab & x-ray, and coordinating emergency medical evacuations.
If an emergency strikes over a weekend, will your work comp or domestic health insurance company answer the phone, let alone help with the situation at hand? No they won't. Then who is the next call going to .. HR.
The International medical carrier, is the goto contact when medical assistance is needed. They are the experts familiar with the international medical market, country specifics and locations of quality critical care units and facilities globally.
Don't leave your employees stranded and without communication. If they need help and it happens to be over a weekend, during evening hours or on a holiday, your employees will have instant access to professional help and guidance 24 hours a day, 365 day a year.
Employer Group Plans – Contractors – Third Country Nationals – International Students – Global Families
Companies with global employees are providing comprehensive short and long-term international medical insurance benefits for their employees while working and living abroad. Employers and HR departments are using both International Group plans along with Individual and family international medical plans to properly cover their employees, contractors and third country nationals while working outside of their home country.
With more than a handful of global employees, an "international group" plan may work best because of the "guarantee-issue" enrollment opportunity.
The Mobile App .. An Innovative Online and Mobile Tool … Most convenient way to access the best local doctors, hospitals and resources: Search providers and request an appointment. Find medication availability, translate medical terms and phrases and use the audio feature to play translation as necessary.

What actually is a diet?
Credited to | Pixabay.com
the keto diet Well, a diet is actually the food human eats. But in another sense, it refers to the food restrictions one puts themselves to, in order to lose weight.
This just means to eat fewer calories during the day, and to put in some exercise and get in to 'perfect shape'. But not everyone who exercises does it to get in perfect shape. Some have their own medical reasons. But here we talk only about the first one, for this diet.

Please support these green festivals and conferences. Let them know you're attending because they've made the effort to be ecologically responsible! Regions and start dates for the events are given:
San Francisco Bay Area
North America
Getting your event listed
Today, SpaceShare works with larger events to build customized "Green Travel" systems, including assisting the event organizers to inspire attendees to explore Green Travel. If you are organizing an event - or can put us in contact with the organizers of your favorite events - we would be very happy to help green your festivals, conferences, campuses and any other large gatherings. Please contact us and tell us about your event, then we'll describe which of our tools could help you.
Not all the events we work for are listed (primarily invite-only events, for example weddings). Most of your event attendees are likely to find the carpool system directly from your event's website or other announcements; we hope the "upcoming events" page will attract a few more people who want to patronize green events, or find events they can reach without a car.
Given the funding, we would love to build simpler, standardized systems for carpooling to smaller events, but haven't done that yet (contact us to get involved!). If you are a traveler, we are collecting information on other carpooling options and green travel tips.

What are the festival dates?
Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 25, 2018.
When do the trees bloom?
As with all things Mother Nature, she is difficult to predict. But, Mr. Fickling has provided a guide for when to expect the blooms.
- If we have a moderate winter followed by a moderate spring, then they will peak around the 23rd, and this is the most common weather pattern for Macon over my lifetime.
- If winter is cold followed by a cold spring, we can expect a late bloom.
- If the winter is cold, followed by a warm spring, then we expect an early bloom.
- If winter is mild followed by a cold spring then we can expect a late bloom.
- If the winter is mild followed by a mild spring, then we can expect an irregular/late bloom as we saw this past year.

Rorie Star
Age/DOB: 23
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Bisexual
Play By: Freema Agyeman
HumanOccupation: Trainee doctor
Current Residence: Armonia
You hate because I'm everything what you ever wanted to be,
and I don't mind cause I love it when you're looking at me cause I'm a rockstar, rockstar, a pretty little problem, uh-huh.
and I don't mind cause I love it when you're looking at me cause I'm a rockstar, rockstar, a pretty little problem, uh-huh.
Personality: Rorie is kind, sweet and loyal. She loves learning and she has a determined attitude that she refuses to disregard. She's stubborn and argumentative and she'll stand up for what she believes in. She doesn't get angry so easily but when she does she can be very scary. Rorie is flirty and she flirts with almost everyone. Rorie likes teasing people, but only playfully, and for a joke. She can be very friendly and warm and she's always willing to offer a hand to help someone along. Rorie hates selfish people and show-offs, and she's quite sassy. Rorie is an easy-learner and she wants to be a doctor one day. Rorie loves to smile and she loves to do good things such as helping people. However, she can be pushed to her limits and when she is, there are severe consequences.
History: Rorie hated her father. He was abusive, cold, and always blamed her for things. Since Rorie has a little sister, May, to look after, she ran away to live with her mother in Armonia, with May in tow. Their mother adores them but she always has to work, as a singing waitress, long hours for more money. Rorie raised May from when she was little, even though there's only 8 years between them. May loves Rorie and Rorie returns the love for her sister. Rorie taught May to write, read, draw, and sing, and now May does all four quite well. Rorie went and started her training for being a doctor, and now that May is 15 she likes being left alone, although she enjoys her talks with Rorie. Rorie met her first boyfriend, Michael Brody, at her mum's work. After a long year, he asked Rorie to marry him. However, Rorie wasn't ready and she couldn't answer. Michael explained that change was good and that all she had to say was yes. Rorie waited a long three days, thought about it, and finally rejected him. He left, angrily.
Now, Rorie is still working to become a doctor. She's realized that she's bisexual and that she wouldn't mind being in a relationship but for now she wants to work on her career instead of seeking out for a relationship. Two months ago, May got into hospital because she was hit by a vehicle. May is now desperate to become a doctor because May, despite the fact that she's out of hospital now, is on crutches and, because of how clumsy and silly she can be, needs a medical person around. Rorie is almost finished with her course, but there are a few things that remain for her to do.
"Just say yes and everything will change. Say no and we'll never get further in life. It's always up to you."
