Superintendent Taylora Schlosser addressed the student body at Marion County Middle School Tuesday morning following two social media incidents that included threats to student safety.
Schlosser's speech focused on five S's beginning with the word "School."
"You should tell yourself, 'This is my community, and my school,'" she told the group of 6th and 7th graders.
Schlosser went on to discuss "Safety," "Security," and reminded students of the phrase "See Something, Say Something."
"We need you to be a part of the solution," Schlosser said. "If you see something that makes you feel uncomfortable whether it's online or in the hallway, you need to let an adult know."
The final 'S' was "Smile."
"That's what we should be doing every day when we show up to school," Schlosser said.
Schlosser then invited students to be a part of a student focus group that she would meet with periodically to address issues at the school.
"We're going to have this focus group so that you can be a part of the solution," Schlosser said.
The superintendent went on to point out that these types of distractions are not exclusive to MCMS.
"This isn't just a problem at Marion County Middle, but across the county; but we're going to be different," Schlosser told the assembly. "This inappropriate use of social media is unacceptable, and it has to stop [...] It's not just about what happens at school; it's about what happens after school, too."
During her address, Schlosser also spoke on the long-term effects of inappropriate social media behavior.
"What you post online can be the difference between getting a job or not getting a job; it can be the difference between getting into college or not getting into college," she said.
Kentucky State Trooper Robert Purdy is scheduled to speak to Marion County Middle School students about the positive and appropriate use of social media on January 10, 2018.

You've got a point. The Giants did win the Super Bowl, so miracles do happen and maybe even I can be a saint :) What's that saying, "Please be patient because God hasn't finished with me yet." Well, it's gonna take a lot more work.
LOL!! Very cute pic and I sure do look good!
Believe it or not, I'm just a plain ol' white tennis shoe gal, not even fancy enough for the Keds kind. Never have owned a pair of Avias or K-Swiss. Otherwise, I wear a lot of Birkenstocks...this is not because I'm the earth mother sort, but when I worked at Intel they paid for a pair of shoes. There were about three shoes you could pick from and one of them was a Birkenstock. I've been wearing them ever since. Just wore out a pair of Merrells (sp?). Now I have a pair of Børns.

Reviews by Tuono
Lakeland Outdoor Club
12-01-2013There are no facilities at all here except peace and quiet though water is available at the (almost) nearby Rugby club.
Entertainment is of the sitting around reading and chatting variety. The beach is superb but a towel or similar should be carried in case of passers by who seem infrequent and not unduly bothered. Excellent for a get away from it all break but you ought to take a good book.
Apollo Sun Club
02-07-2015Our intention was to stay at Apollo for one night but stayed on for two more nights, it was so good. A lovely site with very good facilities and genuinely friendly and welcoming folk. Oh, inexpensive as well.....a great place to visit.

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be tested in numerous methods. The client may be asked to recognize illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on exactly what is known as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in several methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, particularly in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can signal the client and the physician to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one deals with a possible or momentary permanent loss of this crucial sense. When corrective measures are looked for, particular types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with the reality that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade understood more helpful hints as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people need to know. Most likely, the main reason this type of eye surgical treatment has become well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, many people state that the operation can be really dangerous.
Simply puts, a simple error might practically trigger an individual's lifetime blindness. Hence, it is essential to think about numerous aspects before choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right restorative step one has to go through.
2. It is not a best treatment
LASIK go right here eye surgery might fix your vision but it does not always suggest that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily suggest they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the perfect eye surgery the method many individuals view it
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It needs to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can notify the client and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction.
2 Items Individuals Do Certainly Not Have Information Relative To LASIK Eye Surgery
The eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.

Well, you can tell summer has set in and Ramadan is coming, no adventures so no new posts for over a week! Oman has a big slowdown in the summer, people start leaving for the holidays and all the clubs and societies have had their last events. Things won't pick up again until September. In preparation I have been doing very little; an ease into the boredom if you will.
I did manage to sneak my scuba diving certification completion in this week. Honestly, it is the best thing I have done since I have been here -- extremely scary at times -- but it has made me much more positive about Oman. With fasting, and then a trip back home for a few weeks, the earliest I will get back in the water again is August, after that the plan is to go out at least once a month. I will probably purchase a camera to start taking pictures underwater, so expect to be bombarded with the best ones on here and on my Facebook and Instagram and probably Twitter too!
Yes, I have booked a trip back home: I am so excited. It was a huge faff at work sorting out the leave and finance misinformed me about the conditions of my flights refund (should I be surprised?) But I'm not letting that bother me, I'll be home for three weeks and I already have a lot of plans. Lots of dinners and lunches with friends and family, a bread baking course, Go Ape with my cousins, the Prudential London Bike Ride, and maybe I'll squeeze in a little bit of shopping too. I also want to catch the Audrey Hepburn exhibition if I can or maybe just head to the British museum. Either way, I don't expect to be sitting indoors at all. I know that this blog is meant to be about life outside the M25, but I'll still share a few of these things. I'm also thinking of doing a post about my top non-touristy things to do in London, or unconventional ways of being a tourist. Let me know if that sounds interesting.
In the mean time, I will continue doing very little. I've picked up two new hobbies. The first being colouring. I am a sucker for anything "on-trend" and adult colouring books seem to be the thing right now. I picked one up while in Dubai and the timing seemed just right, I've been coming home most evenings annoyed by something or another at work and taking time to doing something that requires zero thought completely relaxes me. I also started crocheting, this requires a little more thought, and actually spending half an hour doing the wrong stitch the other night only gave me something different to be annoyed about. At the moment I am on the way the producing a very nice chain, if it becomes anything vaguely interesting, or even useful, I will let you know.
Let me know your plans for Ramadan and the summer in Oman. Are there any adventures to be had?And what do you do to keep yourself entertained?

Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1393 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Address: Department of Theology & Religious Studies King's College London Room 3.20, Virginia Woolf Building, 22 Kingsway London WC2B 6LE
Dr Carlisle Tresch studied theology and philosophy as both an undergraduate and postgraduate student at Trinity College, Cambridge. She obtained her BA in Philosophy in 1998, and her PhD from the Faculty of Divinity in 2002. Since then she has published three books on Kierkegaard, one book on habit, and the first English translation of Félix Ravaisson's De l'habitude. In addition to her scholarly work she has written numerous philosophical articles for a general audience, including series for The Guardian on Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Bertrand Russell, and the problem of evil.
Between 2003 and 2005 Dr Carlisle Tresch was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds. From 2006 until 2011 she was Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Liverpool, where she developed a project called Philosophy in the City. She joined King's in 2011, and in addition to her research and teaching within the Department she works in the Office of the Dean as AKC Programme Director. In 2015 she became an Associate of King's College London. For more information about the Associate of King's College, please visit the Dean's website.
Clare Carlisle Tresch's research – on Kierkegaard, on Spinoza, on habit and practice, and on the philosophy of religion more generally – converges at the interface between philosophy and theology. She is interested in all aspects of Kierkegaard's thought, especially his account of the Christian life and its situation in the modern world, and his significance within the history of philosophy. She has written three books on Kierkegaard, most recently Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling (Continuum 2010). Dr Carlisle Tresch's research on habit draws on the histories of philosophy and theology to articulate an original interpretation of habit, and also to inform an account of religious practice and ritual. One objective of this work is to address an intellectualist bias within some contemporary philosophy of religion, by providing a philosophical framework for reflection on practical as well as epistemic aspects of Christian faith. An outline of this project is set out in her book On Habit (Routledge 2014). In collaboration with Mark Sinclair, she has published the first English translation of Félix Ravaisson's Of Habit (Continuum 2008), and a special edition of the Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology (January 2011) on habit.
Clare Carlisle Tresch welcomes enquiries from prospective research students who would like to work with her on projects relating to her research interests. These include theology and modern European thought; the history of philosophy (in particular early modern, 19th-century, and 20th-century European philosophy); philosophy of religion; and themes of habit, practice and repetition in philosophy and theology.
For more details, please see her full research profile.
Clare Carlisle Tresch teaches undergraduates modules in the Philosophy of Religion, including Thinking About Evil (4AAT1501) and Philosophy of Religious Life (6AAT3602)
Clare Carlisle Tresch writes regularly on philosophy, religion and ethics for The Guardian and the Times Literary Supplement. Her Guardian articles include series on Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Bertrand Russell, and the problem of evil. She has contributed to BBC Radio 4 programmes, including 'In Our Time' (on Kierkegaard, and on the Ontological Argument) and 'The Moral Maze'.
Clare is also a course instructor for the IAI Academy, a new educational platform offering courses from world-leading scholars on the ideas that matter. A link to Clare's course can be found below:

The fourth season of Indie Memphis' popular free summer Concert Film Series featuring a wide range of music at the Levitt Shell will begin July 25 with the historic 1958 Newport Jazz festival and end September 5 with the award-winning documentary Meanwhile in Memphis.
In between those two nights there will be classic performances by Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Sigur Rós, and Isaac Hayes, among others. Admission to all the screenings will be free and begin at dusk. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
The 2014 series is presented by Orion Federal Credit Union and made possible in part through grants provided by ArtsMemphis and others.
In addition to the series finale, additional local flavor will come August 29 with the showing of the 1972 concert film Wattstax music festival and the African-American community of Watts in Los Angeles. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Documentary Film in 1974.
Wikipedia reports, "The concert was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 20, 1972, and organized by Memphis' Stax Records to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots. Wattstax was seen by some as "the Afro-American answer to Woodstock." To enable as many members of the black community in LA to attend as possible, tickets were sold for only $1.00 each. The Reverend Jesse Jackson gave the invocation, which included Reverend William H. Borders, Sr.'s poem "I Am Somebody."
This summer's complete schedule:
• Friday, July 25 – Jazz on a Summer's Day. Filmed at the 1958 Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, this easygoing documentary affords an intimate, atmospheric glimpse of a historically significant musical event. Performing at the festival were jazz heavyweights such as Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Thelonious Monk, Mahalia Jackson, Dinah Washington, Gerry Mulligan and Anita O'Day.
• Friday, August 1 – Billy Joel: 1960s – 1990s (Shelley Archives). The screening includes clips from Billy Joel's concerts, television, and studio rehearsals. Songs include "Piano Man," "New York State of Mind," "The Entertainer," "Honesty," "The Stranger," "She's Always a Woman to Me," "You May Be Right," "Big Shot," "Allen Town," and "River of Dreams."
• Friday, August 8 – Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same. Led Zeppelin storms Madison Square Garden in this collection of footage taken from their legendary performances at the New York venue in 1973. Songs performed in this swirl of sound and vision includes "Black Dog," "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole Lotta Love."
• Friday, August 15 – Sigur Rós: Inni. Featuring ethereal Icelandic band Sigur Rós onstage in 2008 performing songs from each of their hit albums, this ghostly concert film weaves trippy imagery and the group's mesmerizing sound into an unforgettable musical experience.
• Friday, August 22 – Fleetwood Mac (Shelley Archives). This program offers live concert footage from Japan, Europe, and America as well as television appearances. Among the songs in the show are "Black Magic Woman," "Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way," "You Make Loving Fun," "Don't Stop," "Gypsy," "Tusk," "Say You Love Me," "Little Lies," and "Sara."
• Friday, August 29 – Wattstax. This film documents the 1972 Los Angeles concert that came to be known as "The Black Woodstock." Performers include the Bar-Kays, the Staple Singers, Albert King, Isaac Hayes, and Richard Pryor.
• Friday, September 5 – Meanwhile in Memphis: The Sound of a Revolution. The award-winning music documentary from the 2013 Indie Memphis Film Festival featuring maverick bluff city DIY musicians from 1978 to present day, including Jim Dickinson, Alex Chilton, the Oblivians, the Grifters, Al Kapone, the North Mississippi Allstars, Jay Reatard, Jack O, The Reigning Sound, and Tav Falco.

I am really interested to hear what AXE has to say for themselves. It is that kind of mindset that makes our boys and girls believe that that is how they have to live to be cool.
You are not old fashioned you are a concerned human being and I am so glad you wrote to them. Way to go girlfriend!
This is why I DVR everything on the TV and NEVER watch anything live so I can whiz the commercials.

This delicate circular hat is a lovely tiered swirl of sheer pastel pink crinoline with a sculpted, shaped support underneath it, edged in pretty pink velvet.
Label: Yvette New York
The label also sizes this as 22 1/2
12" from front to back, with
6.5" from front to center top, and
5.5" from back to center top
The horsehair braid gives this a slightly undulating shape which is very flattering.
In our opinion, the underside seems to be more of a pale "pink" color, while the seems to be more of a champagne-y, almost soft peachy pink.
In excellent condition, ready to wear.
These sheer hats always make us think of weddings when we see them, both for attendants, and for guests to wear.
They're also perfect for Derby season and Sunday mornings.

Annie Macaulay – Idibia Announces Wedding Date
We told you that 2Face Idibia and Annie were planning a white wedding. The bride announced the wedding date and venue via her Facebook page earlier today. We can't wait for pictures…
The traditional wedding is set to hold on Friday, the 8th of March
Meanwhile, Annie and her friends had a spa pampering session at Apples & Oranges, organised by Genevieve Magazine. Annie decided to bring along her closest and childhood friends to enjoy the day of pampering, relaxation, and total body therapy. The day started off with a pedicure followed by light refreshment, manicure followed by lunch, and then all over body scrubs and full body massages. This was Annie's day to be spoiled all the way; whilst in the company of closest friends. We conducted an interview with her which will be featured in our March edition, so watch out for that! She tells us she had a blast, see pictures below.
Tuface & Annie's daughter – Isabel was also there. See pictures below;


text: So, my cousin, who lives in europe (denmark) sends me a snippet from an article in "the Independent" apparently its an article on how snowboarding and skiing are getting more and more high tech. It's from today (he dated it 4.1.03.... euro dating.) Goes like this: Still more space-age is the Analog clone jacket made by the pre-eminent snowboarding company, Burton. Even if you wanted to buy one at a whooping $999 (£619) you couldnt: made in a very limited edition of 100, the jackets have all sold out. The price includes a free Sony mini-disc Walkman; but that wasnt the main gimmick. Vermont-based Burton describes the Analog Clone as a jacket with a built-in sound system because of its use of SOFTswitch technology. Printed on the left-hand sleeve are six buttons to control the mini-disc player, which is tucked into the chest-pocket: the wearer can change tracks and adjust the volume-level by pressing the sleeve. No wires are used; rather the fabric of the jacket has electronic switching materials, whatever that means. The jacket is also waterproof, seam-taped and machine-washable. (The washing instructions, along with the usual symbols, also specify the removal of the mini-disc player.) Although the jacket is sold out, Burton promises that new garments using the same sort of technology are to be launched next week, intriguingly enough at the Mac World trade show in San Francisco. Here is burton's link: http://www.burton.com/community/default.asp?newsID=55 Im searching and trying to find tha actual article online. But to no avail. (maybe they post news a day after on their site? I'll check tomorrow for sure.) But could this mean the iPod is gonna be integrated into a jacket somehow???? That would just be plain sick. Thoughts???

Roasting Stick Bag
My family inspired me this last weekend to make bags for our Roasting Sticks.
This is the BEFORE. . .
This is the AFTER. . .
Here's how I made the bag. . .
1- Grab an old pair of jeans & cut the pant leg to the size of the roasting sticks (mine is 27" before hemming).
2- Turn the jean pant leg inside out & using a heavy duty needle, stitch the bottom closed.
3- For the drawstring top, cut a piece of fabric to fit the diameter (x 4")of the pant leg. Put the ends right side together leaving an opening.
4- Pin the fabric right side to the wrong side of the jean. Stitch around.
5-Turn pant leg inside out and stitch around the top edge.
6- Fold the unfinished edge under & stitch around the pant leg making the casing for the string.
7- Thread ribbon or string in the hole of the casing.
8- Use your CREATIVITY to draw pictures/words on the bag.
[After thought: I might have to sew on a piece of ribbon for hanging.]
This is our fire pit area in our backyard. The large pit is for roasting marshmallows/hot dogs & camp wood burning. The smaller pit is for our dutch ovens. Pin It

Personally, I feel that the Delhi metro has been a revolution for the city. It connects the north and south, east and west corners of the national capital region. It, regretting, also connects sweaty office staffers, wailing children and families who always seem to have heavy luggage. On crowded rush-hour evenings like today, those suitcases become living organisms and occupy a rather large segment of space inside the coaches.
Violet line has always been my least preferred metro rail-line. Bustling crowds aside, the route is famous for its small coaches and unusually low air-conditioning. Now, before all you 'traditional' folk start cribbing that we Indians were born without A/C's and that this degenerating youth will cease to exist with cool, humid-free air, I request all you 'Non-A/C and proud' group members to hop onto a coach on the said metro line. It's a warm, very warm summer evening and you set into the metro expecting that gust of cold air, ruffling your hair as you walk through the gates, and it does. You grab an overhead handle for support and so does the person beside you. Now, apart from the deep stenches his arm carry, inconveniently, inappropriately designed cooling system also carries the smell from where the man just walked in. Be it the bus, the fish market, his home or even a reeking wall where he took a leek – you can sniff it all.
Even after you successfully evade the horrifying odours and rescue yourself to negligent corner near the door, the train stops for the next station. Here begins my main concern. You see, unlike other routes where people get on and off at multiple stations, the violet line has become a route where people only board (for Central Secretariat and Badarpur). There is hardly any de-boarding. The few souls who do want to get off at say Nehru Place or Khan Market have to wade through a sea of human body (and sweat, mind you) to the door and shove himself and a few other passengers out of the coach. It is quite a fascinating sight to see an average 100-pound trying to make it out. No one is willing to step aside and they are not to blame. The floor screams for surface area.
One remarkable thing I observed about being squeezed to pulp by other people in crowded coaches is that people are really comfortable touching each other, even though it is forced upon them. People offer vague smiles and say, "Beta, kya karein? Jaga hi nahi hai. Metro kitna crowded ho chukka hai". "Haan uncle ji," came the prompt reply from somewhere ahead. "But crowd to hum jaise log hi banatein hain na."
Another interesting thing is that the passengers morph into a single entity. This is a feature brought out by the constant harsh brakes of the train. I happened to be cramped with no space to even twist my leg. My nose itched and I had to turn my face sideways. I couldn't bear to the alcohol-ridden breath of the "uncle" beside me. I fear the safety of my wallet and phone. So with one hand on my back-pocket and the other pressed against the phone pocket, I relied on my terrible balance to save me from falling. Interestingly, each the time the train jerked due to braking, the entire cabin of people swayed ahead and then back again. It happened every time we braked. Sway towards the front and back again. Front and back.
Finally, Central Secretariat arrived and the sea of people broke into a menacing wave as people just rushed out. Probably it was the crowd and the smells, or perhaps it is the simple metro-gene we Indians now possess and launch out of the train every station, even if it terminates there and won't move ahead. The incoming passengers have a saga of their own, eyes transfixed on the seat they want to capture. Avoiding any major injuries to myself and my olfactory lobes, I headed to the violet line's sister track, the yellow line. The '8' coach train arrived; the last two bogies were virtually empty. I wondered why there weren't similar trains on the former one, where footfall is the highest every evening as per Delhi metro statistics.
Well, some questions go unanswered. But the rest of the evening was not fun either. I sent out a bunch of tweets about #DelhiMetro on the way, but that was it. We missed the show for Iron Man -3 and I'm left with some irritating friends texting me how good it was. Curse them. Anyway, I'm at my friends for the night and really have the feeling that I'm missing something, someone rather. It feels odd not to see that cute little face reading a novel aloud while I listened intently, or that cup of tea with maggi or that warm goodnight hug.
Ah, close encounters are rare. I almost suffocated in the metro today, almost watched a movie and almost thought I could pull out a night all by myself without a certain special person. Some days are funny, some are funnier still.

Every June, Men's Health Month is celebrated across the country as a way to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men. I'm thrilled by any opportunity to offer patients more information when it comes to their health, so that they are empowered to make the best decisions possible.
Taking ownership of one's health care, which is something strongly encouraged at Hebrew SeniorLife, relies greatly on patient education. In honor of Men's Health Month, I'm highlighting three health issues older men frequently face – and what they can to do prevent them.
Heart Disease
The age onset for cardiovascular disease typically occurs earlier in life for men, between age 50 and 60, than for women, who are more likely to experience cardiovascular issues such as stroke, heart attack and heart disease in their 70s and 80s. Men (and women) should make the effort to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly, as well as monitor blood pressure and cholesterol. Older men should feel comfortable strategizing with their doctors if they need to lose weight or need guidance on how to begin a safe exercise program.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men other than skin cancer. Approximately 200,000 men will develop prostate cancer in the United States this year. Although there is screening available to detect this disease, it is not that sensitive in discovering the disease. It is very important for older men to have regular appointments with their health care providers to discuss their risks of developing prostate cancer (and others types) along with how and when to be screened for the disease.
Diabetes continues to be on the rise in seniors and research points to this rise being even higher in men. A chronic disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, diabetes can be managed in older adults with proper diet, medication, and monitoring of glucose levels. Older men should not brush off symptoms such as frequent thirst, frequent huger, fatigue and increased urination. These can be signs of diabetes and should be discussed with a health care provider, along with any other concerns.
With Father's Day around the corner, a wonderful gift can be checking in with your father or grandfather to ensure they are seeing a doctor regularly in order to prevent future health problems.

No one involved with the case can be trusted; witnesses, suspects, victims all appear to be lying. What can be so precious, valued, loved, that it's worth dying for? The answer lies behind a Deadly Intent.

This session was so much fun!! So many laughs!! This session took place at Cultus Lake in Main Beach. We were worried about light, as Courtney's session was booked for 5 pm and the fact that it was up on a mountain but we were left with gorgeous evening light which lasted the whole hour!! I'm so very thankful for that. Bubbles and baby blocks accompanied us on our session, which I enjoyed very much!! Thank-you again to Courtney, a beautiful mommy of a beautiful baby girl! Here are some of my favourite shots from the session. Enjoy!

Being healthy is not a brand new pattern. In any case, nobody needs to be unhealthy. How consumers strategy their health, nonetheless, is distinctly completely different from how they did in the not-too-distant previous. In actual fact, it wasn't too long ago that taking care of your health simply meant retaining your regularly scheduled doctor's visits, minding your food regimen and getting some exercise. While these fundamental rules still serve as a free overarching framework for common health and wellness, they fall nicely short of what the average American strives for at present. Emotional Wellness is the power to grasp ourselves and cope with the challenges life can carry. The power to acknowledge and share emotions of anger, concern, sadness or stress; hope, love, pleasure and happiness in a productive method contributes to our Emotional Wellness. African-American women with HR-constructive breast most cancers face increased danger for illness recurrence and inferior survival compared with women of different races, based on research presented on the CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
Sure, I forgot to mention herbal cures. I believe back in the 80's and 'ninety's individuals began getting again into that and a complete trade made a bunch of money from it. I do not know if that's still in vogue or not. In our ancestor's days, they used the crops that have been growing on their farms or in the countryside somewhat than processed and packaged herbs and crops. I'm positive that in all probability makes a difference, though I can't back that up with any info.
By then, it was already too late. As the disruptions rippled through hospitals, medical doctors' offices and ambulance companies throughout Britain on Friday, the health service declared the attack as a serious incident," a warning that native health providers could possibly be … Read More ...

The Implicit and Explicit Sense of Belonging in Migrant Children in China

We investigated whether Chinese children who have migrated from the countryside to the city have a sense of belonging to their hometown or to their current place of residence. We measured both their explicit and implicit sense of belonging using the Sense of Belonging Questionnaire (SBQ; Sun, 2007) and the Brief Implicit Association Test (BIAT, Sriram & Greenwald, 2009). We found that there was a discrepancy between these children's explicit and implicit cognition: they had an explicit sense of belonging to the cities in which they lived and an implicit sense of belonging to their previous homes in the countryside. Our findings may help migrant children adapt to city life by leading them to explore their implicit ability to differentiate virtual life on television from real life.
Keywords: implicit sense of belonging, explicit sense of belonging, migrant children, China.
Rapid economic development in China since die mid-1980s has resulted in considerable rural to urban migration, as migrants have sought better job opportunities in die cities. A commonly cited figure puts the number of rural migrants residing in cities in 2009 at 149 million (National Bureau of Statistics, 2010). Such migrants are often accompanied by their children. Because of their marginalized status in urban China these children have been attracting increasing attention from sociologists, economists, psychologists, and others interested in their welfare. The types of marginalization they experience include poor housing conditions, litde access to public school systems, and discrimination by local urban residents (Wong, Li, & Song, 2007). All of these conditions are, to some extent, responsible for the poor health and psychological problems of such children (Magwaza, 1992).
Although the existing literature abounds with descriptions of migrant children's psychological problems, few researchers have attempted to explore other psychological aspects of this special group such as the sense of belonging. We investigated whether migrant children have a greater sense of belonging to their birthplace (the countryside) or to the place in which they currently live (the city). Here, sense of belonging is an important psychological construct for migrant children. Hagerty, Williams, Coyne, and Early (1996) defined sense of belonging as the experience of personal involvement in a system or environment so that persons feel themselves to be an integral part of that system or environment. According to Nesdale, Rooney, and Smith (1997), sense of belonging is closely connected with migrant ethnic identity and self-esteem and can ultimately influence migrant children's psychological well-being. Hagerty et al. have also posited that a sense of belonging is closely related to indicators of both social and psychological functioning. In addition, Hurtado and Carter (1997) recommended attaching greater importance to migrant students' sense of belonging in their school life.
We employed different approaches to measure two aspects of the sense of belonging - the explicit aspect and the implicit aspect. Prior studies have typically focused on explicit sense of belonging. However, we believe that implicit sense of belonging deserves more attention, because in many cases it is the implicit rather than the explicit sense of belonging that plays a decisive role in behavior (Greenwald & Banaji, 1995). According to Greenwald and Banaji, people adopt dual attitudes toward a certain object: explicit and implicit. Furthermore, the explicit attitude cannot usually represent the authentic thoughts of an individual because it tends to be influenced by interfering factors (such as social pressure). On the contrary, the implicit attitude more commonly determines the individual's practical actions because it is firmly held by an individual and immune to external interference, and thus more stable. This is why we examined both implicit and explicit sense of belonging in this study. …

Gun control ads have Democrats worrying
Could Fuhrer Bloomberg's gun grabbing end up costing the Democrats the Senate?
Gun control ads have Democrats worrying
By: John Bresnahan and Reid J. Epstein
May 7, 2013 04:59 AM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's aides met recently with staffers of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to warn them: Targeting vulnerable Democrats like Arkansas's Mark Pryor on gun control could backfire on the party, several sources told POLITICO.
It didn't work.
Ads from the Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns are going up soon in Alaska, Arkansas and North Dakota — three states with Democratic senators who broke with the White House on last month's background checks vote.
The group is also moving as many as 60 field organizers into about a dozen states where senators — Democrats and Republicans — voted against bill, with the goal of building infrastructure and countering gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association.
It's all got Democrats nervous about keeping their hold on the Senate, if they are under attack from not only Republicans but pro-gun control forces as well. Gun control legislation gained new national momentum since last December's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six adults dead, but advocates know they cannot overcome the power of the NRA on Capitol Hill unless those who oppose them pay an electoral price for doing so, and they've shown no sign of backing down.
Bloomberg's group has made its choice: Its radio spots in Arkansas will target the state's African-American community, "without which Mark Pryor doesn't have a prayer of getting reelected," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Four Senate Democrats — Pryor, Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota — joined with Republicans to derail the bill, drawing howls of protest from the gun control movement and complaints from the White House.
But it's Pryor's fate that has Democratic leadership most worried.
Senate Democrats point to the example of former Arkansas Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln as a warning. Labor unions, angered by Lincoln's vote against legislation they backed, helped fund a primary challenger in 2010. Lincoln narrowly won that primary, and then was swamped that November by Republican John Boozman.
Democratic senators and aides also note that Pryor has backed President Barack Obama and the leadership on other big issues such as Obamacare, banking reform and taxes, and Reid will need him on upcoming immigration votes.
"How does hurting Mark Pryor help them?" asked one top Senate Democrat, speaking on condition of anonymity. "I just don't see how it gets them where they want to go."
For his part, Pryor says he's not too concerned.
"In today's world, whether it's a wealthy donor or a super PAC, sometimes they come in these races and throw a bunch of money around," Pryor said in an interview. "I think in Arkansas, people know me pretty well, and they know I work very hard to try to listen and be responsive to the state. I'm always going to have people make these political threats."
But leadership would still rather see Bloomberg look elsewhere. For instance, it could work to reelect red-state Democrats who supported the background checks bill, such as Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Kay Hagan of North Carolina.
Another gun control group, Americans for Responsible Solutions — founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was severely wounded in a January 2011 shooting — is running radio ads praising these Democrats, as well as Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).
Senate Democrats are also urging Bloomberg and other gun control advocates to focus on flipping Republicans like Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. Mayors Against Illegal Guns went up Tuesday with a TV spot criticizing Ayotte that will air through May 17 in the Boston and Manchester, N.H., media markets. It also plans ads aimed at Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.).
Americans for Responsible Solutions is running radio ads in Kentucky and New Hampshire, respectively, slamming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Ayotte for opposing the measure. The NRA, which vehemently opposed the background checks bill, countered with its own radio ads praising the lawmakers.
In an op-ed that ran in the Houston Chronicle over the weekend — in the city where the NRA was holding its annual meeting — Vice President Joe Biden warned that senators who voted against the bill will be punished by voters next year.
"They are learning that Newtown really did shock the conscience of the nation and that inaction will not be tolerated by Democrats, Republicans or independents," Biden wrote.
The White House has also threatened to use Organizing for Action — the nonprofit group created out of Obama's reelection campaign — to target vulnerable Democrats like Pryor over the background checks vote.
On Heitkamp, who also voted against the background checks bill, Glaze said Mayors Against Illegal Guns must show there is a price to be paid for voting against the measure, even though she's not up for reelection until 2018.
"It's our job to make sure that people who care about this understand that she screwed up," Glaze said
Democrats, though, fear that any public effort to "shame" Pryor would have two results: First, he will just dig in further and become less likely to support any revised background checks package; and second, Pryor would be hurt by the effort, leading to a Republican who openly opposes any gun control-related legislation — and other Democratic priorities — winning the seat.
Pryor — who had $3.4 million in his campaign coffers, including tens of thousands of dollars from other Senate Democrats — said he's not worried about the fallout from his opposition to the bipartisan background checks bill drafted by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). Democrats say privately that Pryor was aware before the April 17 vote that he would see Bloomberg-funded ads in Arkansas, with the only question being whether they would be pro or con.
"I think that's one thing the American people are frustrated about, these purity tests," Pryor said. "Quite honestly, I'm here to represent Arkansas. I think people on all sides, in all parties and all groups, they need to go back to civics class and maybe read the Constitution and realize we're here to represent our states and the people who sent us to Washington."
Pryor, first elected to the Senate in 2002, claimed he's not worried about his poor poll numbers or possible challengers, including GOP Rep. Tom Cotton, or whether MAIG or other progressive groups dump money into the race.
"I get threatened politically all the time," he said. "Literally, it's just part of my job because I don't line up in this 'red versus blue' paradigm. I'm in the middle somewhere."
Republicans, for their part, were pleased that gun control groups would slam Pryor.
"Mark Pryor doesn't know what he believes," said Brad Dayspring, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "The same guy voted for [an assault weapons] ban just a few years ago, so it's no wonder that the Bloomberg group is trying to pressure him. The larger the spotlight on the Second Amendment and the gun issue is in Arkansas, the brighter Pryor's blatant hypocrisy shines."
As Manchin works to revise his bill, with an eye toward trying to get it back on the floor next month following Senate action on immigration reform, Pryor said he is open to looking at the legislation again.
"If someone wants to put something together, I will look at it and I'll make a judgment based on what they put together," Pryor said on Friday, according to KLRT-TV in Little Rock.

If they lose at the Supreme Court then every state that is 'may issue' loses, specifically at risk is California. By not appealing Ill delays a supreme court ruling. I'd bet they would hope for a change of the court makeup so that they might be able to win in the future.
Good for Ill but I'd bet this is a stalling tactic...we'll see if the AG decides to appeal or not. If she doesn't then I think that answers this question.

Gun control supporters facing recall bids in Colo.
Associated PressBy KRISTEN WYATT | Associated Press 1 hr 3 mins ago.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) A Democratic campaign office here usually would be quiet this time of year, a few weeks after the state's legislature wrapped up work and lawmakers headed off to summer vacations.
But even though it's not an election year, the office is in full campaign mode, with volunteers working the phones and reviewing maps in anticipation of a new front of modern campaigning the recall phase.
A handful of Democratic state lawmakers in Colorado face recall petition efforts in what looks to be the first wave of fallout over legislative votes to limit gun rights. In an era in which recall efforts are booming, from governor's offices down to town councils and school boards, the Colorado efforts will serve as the first test of gun-rights groups' ability to punish elected officials who expanded gun control laws after last year's Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn., shooting massacres.
In Colorado, gun-rights activists wasted no time seeking recalls to oust state Senate President John Morse and three other Democratic lawmakers. The targeted lawmakers weren't necessarily the main advocates for ratcheting back gun rights, but all come from districts with enough Republicans to give opponents hope they can boot out the Democrats and replace them with lawmakers friendlier to guns. Colorado is the only state outside the East Coast to have adopted significant statewide gun controls this year.

The simplest, and more effective thing, would be to ban certain prescribed and legal drugs that lead to psychotic episodes of violence. But that will never happen since Big Pharma owns many in Congress.
Otherwise, getting the federal govt involved in mental health is dangerous and has already led targeting those with dissenting views on govt.
Govt will never improve mental health...it will likely get worse and then we will lose our right to arms.
Just BEWARE!

Tattoo Quotes On LifeTattoo Quotes are becoming more and more popular. Having a tattoo that features an inspirational phrase or words that hold special meaning can make that tattoo very personal. Here are my favorite tattoo quotes.
There are many inspirational phrases to choose from when selecting one for a tattoo. But many do not work. A tattoo quote is unique in that it must be short yet still be able to convey a meaningful message. The reason is that the locations where tattoos are usually placed on people do not offer much room.
So given that tattoo words are short there are fewer quotations and uplifting messages to select from. However, if a person is careful and does their due diligence you can find just the right saying for the body art.
Here are a few I find to be very meaningful.
\"Wake Your Dream\"
Everyone has a dream, if not they should have one. Having a dream gives us something to work towards, something to hope for and provides purpose in what we do. Some people ignore their dream thinking it is not possible to achieve. That can be the worst thing to do. Everyone should pursue their dream.

The shorebirds fly from South America, China, and other exotic places, then quickly rebuild fat reserves, court mates and find suitable breeding territories, mate, lay eggs, incubate for about 20 days, brood their young, fledge their young, and then both independent young and parents restock fat supplies to head south, all in less than two months. So, its the end of July, and all the nests have hatched. The chicks have grown to juveniles, and can now fly. The plots are empty of the familiar displays and sounds of pissed-off birds, and even the staging areas are rapidly dwindling in numbers. Out over the ocean, we can see flocks of grey juvenile phalaropes head west, and out of the Arctic.
And so too are the shorebird biologists migrating. Our maximum crew of 11 has dwindled to only 3, and we leave in a couple days. Not much to do, just pack up the station, and wait for the flights.
I'm incredibly sensitive to life now: to its sounds, behaviour, plumage, the threats and boons of weather. Its a wholesome experience, being a biologist, being with life at its most honest and simple. I'll miss the birds and chicks.

Halo and glare classification of different multifocal IOL compared to monofocal IOL and phakic eyes
(results will display both Free Papers & Poster)
Session Details
Session Title: Special Cases
Session Date/Time: Friday 26/02/2016 | 08:30-10:00
Paper Time: 09:48
Venue: MC3 Room
First Author: : P.Hagen GERMANY
Co Author(s): : D. Breyer H. Kaymak K. Klabe F. Kretz G. Auffarth
Abstract Details
Surveys have shown that halo and glare is the dominant reason for MIOL explantation. This retrospective quality management investigation comprises results for phakic eyes and patients with bilateral IOL implantation with respect to the postoperative occurrence of photopsia.
All IOL-implantations and follow-ups were performed at the Breyer-Kaymak-Klabe Eyesurgery in Duesseldorf, Germany, which is part of the International Vision Correcton Research Center (IVCRC.net).
For patients with different bilateral implantation variants (emmetropic vision or blended vision) of refractive or diffractive IOL or MIOL, photopsia were assessed postoperatively at 3 months with an interactive graphical simulation software (Halo & Glare Simulator, CZM). Measured values for size and intensity were categorized as {"none", "mild", "moderate", "severe"}. The results of all groups (at least 10 patients per group) were compared to those of phakic eyes. Furthermore, a patient questionnaire (quality of vision) was evaluated.
Halo and glare were reported in all groups. Values for monofocal as well as refractive multifocal IOL were comparable to phakic eyes {'none"=24%, 'mild'=55%, 'moderate'=21%, 'severe'=0%}. Values for diffractive MIOL, however, were significantly higher {'none"=0%, 'mild'=28%, 'moderate'=62%, 'severe'=0%}. Blended vision implantation variants came with more halo & glare than emmetropic ones. Comparing rotationally symmetric with unsymmetric MIOL, unsymmetric "angel wing" type glare was rare and equally distributed in both groups ("none"=95%). The patient questionnaire revealed that satisfaction with the quality of vision can be high even if photopsia are perceived as strong in terms of size and intensity.
Our analysis indicates that, generally speaking, refractive MIOL might cause less perception of photopsia. We suppose that the reason for this is that although neuroadaption plays a dominant role in the suppression of halo and glare, diffractive IOL physically often cause more light scattering due to the edges in their characteristic ring-type surface structure.
