About Crittenden
Crittenden is the home of reality television show contestant Rodger Bingham, a much-loved participant on Survivor, The Australian Outback, 2001. Nicknamed "Kentucky Joe", Rodger finished 5th in the competition. Bingham now serves as Kentucky's agricultural marketing spokesman.
Located in the 'heart of it all' in the golden triangle of Cincinnati, Lexington and Louisville, the village of Crittenden sits in northeastern Grant County, just south of the borders of Boone and Kenton counties. The towns and villages here are known for their southern hospitality and beautiful surroundings, whatever the season. Established in 1831, the village was named for Kentucky statesman John J. Crittenden, a three-term senator, former Governor of Kentucky and two-time Attorney General of the U.S. 2400 residents call Crittenden home, enjoying the relaxation of life lived at a slower pace.
I75 is the major artery through Grant County; Dixie Highway (St. Rt. 25) is the north/south thoroughfare through the village. St. Rts. 491 and 2942 cross the rolling hills.
Northern Kentucky's sprawling St. Elizabeth operates a satellite hospital in Williamstown-St. Elizabeth Grant County- along with 24-hour medical transport from the area. The Crittenden and Community Volunteer Fire Department provide EMS service to the village residents.
All of your daily needs can be met in the village or nearby Williamstown or Dry Ridge, but a more in-depth shopping trip will require a ride in the car to Florence or Georgetown.
Life is lived in the country here with residents creating their own opportunities to enjoy the bounty of the outdoors. The 1100-acre Curtis Gates Lloyd Wildlife and Recreation Area, better known as Lloyd Park, provides plenty of virgin forest, nature trails, archery, trap and skeet ranges along with a popular spot for fishing. Grant County Park just south of the village offers picnic areas, a horse ring and stadium, playgrounds, walking and fitness trails, and the Martha Blaine Outdoor Theatre. Nearby Williamstown Lake offers additional boating and recreational opportunities. The Eagle Creek Country Club caters to area golfers. Crittenden is also home of the Grant County Fair.

The holiday season was gone in a wink. Back to the routine life again. The season of the jingle bells, fancying around with the festive mood, the illuminated road sides all joined together to celebrate the end of a year and to welcome another new year. The last year went away to me in a fraction of moment. I have seen lots of ups and down this year and never wish to have this kind of year in my life again. But on the sweet note, last year blessed me my second princess who came to our life like a ray of hope. I must mention that I was able to overcome my pregnancy period fighting with all the odd situations because of the constant support and care of the elder princess and the man. I wish this year should bring us and everybody all the happiness and joy and prove a memorable one with all positive notes.
As promised, I am here again with another #easyrecipe that can be done in all most no time. Very healthy and it is a kid's delight. Me and my daughter often enjoy it mostly when the man is on his office tours and we have to snuggle in a one pot meal.
{Yields to 6 to 8 cups}
Minced Chicken 200grm
Grated carrot: 1 big
Blanched chopped Spinach - 1 cup (Water thoroughly squeezed)
Grated Cheese- 1 cup (more or less) {I used Amul}
Tomato - 1 small, sliced
Sweet Chili Sauce - 1 tspn
Italian seasoning - 1/2 tspn
Salt and pepper as per taste
Cornflour: 1 - 2 tspn (optional)
1. Take a muffin pan. Grease it oil.
2. Mix all the ingredients except the Cheese, Carrot and tomato.
3. If you feel the mixer is too soft then add cornflour (As per requirement).
4. Take a small portion of the mixture and put in the muffin cups. Press the mixture and give the impression of a cup.
5. Fill the other cavitities in the same way.
6. Now fille the cups with carrot and cheese and top it with a slice of tomato.
7. Bake at 200 degree C for 20 to 30 minutes.
8. Serve hot with some desired dip.
One can use other vegetables too for the mixture and for the filling.
Wish you all a happy and Prosperous new year.

James Jnr shortly went into partnership that has a Mr Knight and never extended following made a decision to head bush to unfold his providers to more rural spots. Jane then moved to Perth to carry to the Manning & Knight organization.
Am trying to establish whether this can be a latest 'classic design and style' postcard or somebody's misplaced 'true vintage' piece which i should find the operator for. Is it possible to drop some mild? Many thanks
Veronica Treen claims: Hi Shelly, Just wondering If you're able to make sure you have a look at a Nixon & Merrilees photo for me. Based on what you may have published about them I'm dating the Picture in between 1892-1901.
The 2 photos would then be printed on card which was then inserted right into a viewer and resulted inside moved here a singular 3D impression when appeared into.

Lipoprotein (a): Its Role in Childhood Thromboembolism
Purpose. Elevated lipoprotein (a) [LP (a)] concentrations are independent risk factors of coronary heart disease or stroke in young adults. To clarify its role in childhood thromboembolism, Lp (a) was measured in 72 children with thromboembolism.
Methods. In addition to Lp (a), defects of the protein C anticoagulant system, antithrombin, and antiphospholipid antibodies were investigated in children with arterial (n = 36) or venous (n = 36) thrombosis.
Results. Enhanced Lp (a) >50 mg/dL was diagnosed in 8 out of 36 children with arterial and 5 out of 36 patients with venous thrombosis. Of the 72 children, 25 showed the factor V Leiden mutation, 10 showed protein C deficiency, 2 showed antithrombin deficiency, and 4 showed primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Three children with increased Lp (a) were heterozygous for the factor V Leiden mutation, and 1 girl showed additional protein C deficiency.
Conclusions. Data of this study indicate that increased concentrations of Lp (a) play an important role in childhood thrombosis. childhood thrombosis, lipoprotein (a), factor V Leiden, protein C.
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] is a cholesterol-rich plasma lipoprotein with a lipid composition similar to that of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). The protein composition is different from that of LDL, consisting of two major proteins, apolipoprotein (apo) B and apo (a).1,2 Lp (a) levels vary from person to person but are genetically determined as a dominant trait, minimally affected by race, age, and sex.3,4 Numerous groups agree in their findings that individuals with increased concentrations of Lp (a) have a higher risk of premature coronary heart disease,5unrelated to the remaining lipoproteins. In addition, the risk of stroke3,8 as well as for restenosis after coronary artery bypass surgery13,14 correlates highly with increased Lp (a) concentrations. Little is known, however, about the relation between increased Lp (a) concentrations and childhood thrombosis at various sites. We used a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure Lp (a) in a population of children with arterial or venous thrombosis.
Seventy-two infants and children aged from birth to 18 years consecutively recruited between 1992 and 1996 and primarily treated for arterial (n = 36) or venous (n = 36) thrombosis were enrolled in this study. In the majority of cases arterial thrombosis occurred in the central nervous system. Sixteen of 36 infants developed embolic stroke or multiple thrombosis in the neonatal period (attributable to the uncertainty in differentiating between embolic and local stroke in the majority of cases investigated, all children with initial symptoms of stroke were categorized in the arterial group). In addition, 11 children >1 year of age suffered an ischemic embolic, local, or lacunar stroke. Left intracardial thrombus formation was diagnosed in 4 of 36 patients, the femoral artery was occluded in two children and aortic thrombosis was found in two infants. Venous thromboses were found in the femoral vein (n = 10), renal veins (n = 8), superior caval vein (n = 6), central nervous system (n = 7), and portal vein (n = 5), respectively. In the majority of cases, underlying diseases triggering the thromboembolic event were diagnosed. As in previous reports, asphyxia, systemic infections, dehydration, congenital heart disease, and central lines were commonly associated with the vascular occlusion reported.15
Fasting venous blood samples for coagulation studies were obtained in the acute phase of the vascular accident and at least 6 months after the thrombotic episode when the children were free of anticoagulant medication. In infants and children with suspected inherited thrombophilia the final diagnosis was made when DNA-based assays confirmed the diagnosis (Arg506 to Gln mutation of the factor V gene) or when repeatedly measured plasma concentrations were outside the age-appropriate reference range and family screening confirmed the suspected inherited coagulation defect.20Although the mean ± 2 standard deviation of the plasma values in the control children was 25 mg/dL, we chose the markedly elevated cut-off level of Lp (a) >50 mg/dL (2 × 25 mg/dL) according to Margaglione et al12 in the present study. In addition, bearing in mind the importance of Lp (a) as a risk factor of familial thrombophilia, family data are included in this report.
Blood samples were drawn from a peripheral vein into premarked 3-mL plastic tubes (citrate 3.8%/blood 1:10; Saarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany), immediately placed on iced water and centrifuged at 4°C at 3000 g for 20 minutes. Platelet-poor plasma was snap-frozen and stored in plastic tubes at −70°C. Lp (a) concentrations were measured with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique (COALIZA Lp (a): Chromogenix, Mölndal, Sweden). The detection limit was .5 mg/dL and Lp (a) was quantified between 1 and 100 mg/dL. In addition, the factor V Leiden mutation (DNA prepared from ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid blood), factor V, protein C, protein S, antithrombin, and antiphospholipid antibodies (immunoglobulin M/immunoglobulin G) were measured as described earlier.23
Calculations of median and ranges and nonparametric statistics (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test) were performed with the Apple computer Stat view program.
Table 1 shows the overall distribution of genetic risk factors for familial thrombophilia in children with arterial and venous thrombosis. Eight of 36 (22%) patients with arterial vascular insults and 5 of 36 (14%) with venous thrombosis showed Lp (a) concentrations >50 mg/dL. In addition, 244 age- and sex-matched healthy controls showed significantly lower (P< .001) median (range) Lp (a) plasma values of 7 mg/dL (0 to 39) compared with 15 mg/dL (0 to 165) in children with venous thrombosis, and 15 mg/dL (0 to 145) in patients with arterial vascular insults, respectively. However, median (range) Lp (a) concentrations in infants and children with venous vascular occlusion were no different from Lp (a) values in the arterial group. With special regard to the markedly elevated cut-off level of >50 mg/dL chosen in this study, single patient values are given in Table 2.12 However, if we had chosen mean ± 2 SD Lp (a) values of the control children, the vascular accident would also have been classified as Lp (a)-related in 5 of the remaining 28 patients (arterial) and 2 of 31 in the venous group.
In addition, 25 of the 72 children showed the factor V Leiden mutation, 10 protein C type I deficiency, and two antithrombin type I deficiency. Four of the 72 children showed primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Three children with increased Lp (a) were heterozygous for the factor V Leiden mutation, and one girl showed an additional protein C deficiency (Table 2). Eleven of 13 patients with thrombosis and Lp (a) >50 mg/dL had a positive family history of early myocardial infarction (n = 6), stroke (n = 4), or venous thrombosis (n = 1) (Table 2).
No factor V or protein S deficiency was diagnosed in the population studied.
Data of this study indicate that 58% of children with arterial thrombosis and 80% of children with venous thrombosis had genetic risk factors of familial thrombophilia. Besides inherited defects in the protein C anticoagulant pathway, recently reported in a smaller group of children,23 increased concentrations of Lp (a) play an important role in the etiology of childhood thromboembolism.
Lp (a) was first described in human plasma by Berg as a genetic variant of β-lipoprotein.24 Lp (a) levels are reported to be regulated by a gene located on the long arm of chromosome 6 close to the gene for plasminogen. Complementary DNA sequencing of human apo (a) showed it to be closely homologous with plasminogen.25 This fact is assumed to provide a direct link between thrombogenesis and atherosclerosis.26,27 In addition, it has been speculated that high plasma Lp (a) levels might also be a marker of the early presence of atherosclerotic lesions at extracoronary sites.28
Besides increased Lp (a) levels in children with thrombosis, 11 of 13 patients with thrombosis and Lp (a) >50 mg/dL in this study had a positive family history of early myocardial infarction, stroke, or venous thrombosis. These findings confirm literature data claiming that increased levels of Lp (a) in infancy and childhood were significantly associated with thromboembolism in the patients' parents or grandparents.29 However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether general neonatal Lp (a) screening could detect families at risk of vascular accidents or could prevent the early onset of thromboembolism in the families affected.32

Last Sunday, my daughter, Christina, graduated from college. On that 78 degree afternoon, underneath a powdery blue sky, families and friends of the graduates began gathering for the ceremony, walking down a long curvy sidewalk, lined with lilac bushes, into the college football stadium.
"We look like twins…" I told Rachael, my 19 year old daughter, as we searched for seats among rows of folding chairs that had been set up on the grassy field. Rachael laughed. . Both of us were wearing flowered sundresses and strands of pearls. Walking with us was Don, Rachael and Christina's dad. He was all decked out in a starched white shirt and a pastel yellow tie. "What a glorious day this is" he said as the student orchestra began to play a soft, opening prelude.
We took our places near a rope-off area designated for the graduates. Rachael checked her digital camera. The breeze blew softly as Don and I read through our programs, drinking bottled water and chatting about how fast Christina had grown up. "I'm so proud of her…" I said as I looked upward, toward the campus that overlooked the stadium. For the past four years, this had been Christina's home, a little city of Gothic style dorms and buildings trimmed with steeples, stained glass and spirals that glistened against rolling hills, covered with grass.
The stadium began to swell with people, most of them parents, a sea of colorful sundresses, suits and wide brimmed hats. . "I'm Brian…My daughter Mary is graduating in Computer Science…We flew in yesterday from Oregon" said a man in front of us. Dressed in a Navy blue jacket and a yellow tie, he shook Dons hand and began introducing us to his wife and two very tall teenage sons.
I showed Brian my commencement program and couldn't help but point out our daughter's name. "Christina majored in Social work….She wants to work with special needs kids…" I told him proudly.
"We'll cheer for Christina when she receives her diploma" said our new smiling friends in unison.
"And we'll applaud for Mary" we replied back.
The familiar sound of Pomp and Circumstance began playing as the faculty, donned in regal caps, gowns and sashes, assembled on the stage. Soon a long line of graduates began processing down the curvy sidewalk towards the stadium, their black caps and gowns shimmering in the sun, like polished agates, against the purple lilac bushes.
Cameras snapped. Tears fell from hundreds of on looking eyes. As the graduates were seated, parents strained their necks, hoping to catch a glance of their son or daughter.
"You are the light of the world…a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden…" a distinguished speaker told the graduates as he began reading a passage from the 5th chapter of Matthew. The speaker, a congressman from Minnesota, admonished the graduates to "go out and shine their light." I listened to his words and found myself remembering the day Christina was born. As my thoughts drifted back 22 years, I saw myself lying in a maternity ward bed, cradling newborn Christina in my arms. "God, let her grow into the woman you want her to be." I had prayed.
Now, so many years later, I realized that my prayer had been answered. God had led Christina to this very special place and to this extraordinarily beautiful moment in time. This stadium ceremony was an ordination of sorts, a sacred turning point in her life and in ours.
Her identity could no longer be, exclusively, "beloved daughter." Now she was a mature and capable young woman, prepared and called to be a leader in the world, a beacon of hope to people we might not ever meet, a shining light in the borderless kingdom of God.
"And now, will the faculty stand for the conferring of the degrees" said the provost of the college. One by one, the names of the 623 graduates were read, each first, middle and last name pronounced slowly and carefully.
After Christina's name was called, she passed our row, smiling and waving her diploma. We blew kisses to her as her long dark hair danced in the breeze, underneath her cap. "Way to go Christina" Brian and his wife called out. I chuckled as his two tall sons hooted and howled for my daughter.
When Mary passed by, clutching her diploma, our family began waving to her like we had known her for years. "Way to go Mary" Don called out.
I couldn't stop smiling. "Every parent here is as proud as we are…"
I closed my eyes to savor the moment. I could hear cameras snapping and families cheering. And the fragrance of the lilacs smelled lovely.

Thich Nhat Hanh's insight on climate crisis.
"We are on course to self-destruction," said Thich Nhat Hanh, speaking in France in June last year. "Many civilisations on Earth have been destroyed, because they could not live in harmony with nature. If we continue like this there is no doubt that our civilisation will be destroyed. Earth may take many millions of years to heal, to re-establish her balance and restore her beauty. For the Earth, it's not a problem. But for us humans it's a big problem. We will disappear from Earth."
"We need more than just new technology to protect the planet," he says. "We need real community and co-operation. We need to re-establish true communication — true communion — with ourselves, with the Earth, and with one another as children of the same mother."
"Everyone can do something," says Sister Chan Khong, the most senior nun in the Plum Village community. "We can make a difference, starting today. We can eat 50 percent less meat. That is a big act of compassion for ourselves, for the planet, and for the little cow, sheep, pig or chicken. If we look deeply and contemplate the beauty and dignity of these animals when they are alive, the suffering they endure in the abbatoir, and the destructive impact of industrial meat farms on the Earth, compassion will be born in our heart. Reducing the amount of meat we eat is not an obligation or duty. It arises naturally out of love."
"What we do as an individual is deeply interconnected with the collective. Each one of us can make a promise to do one thing to help. We can turn off extra lights, not use plastic bags, or eat vegetarian a few days a week. We are part of the bigger change. A little love can become Great Compassion, for all people and for all beings. The act may be small, but it contains our intention of love and mindfulness of what is happening to our precious home." It is in this spirit that our international community will be coming together to support the Global Climate March on November 29th, and to send compassionate energy for the success of the Paris Climate Summit.
For decades, Thich Nhat Hanh has been a leading international figure calling for a radical shift in the way of thinking and acting to address the situation of climate change. He helped convene the ground-breaking Dai Dong Environment Conference of Scientists back in 1970 (a key stimulus to the UN's first ecology summit), triggered a global initiative of national "No-Car Days" under the auspices of UNESCO in 2006, and has published bestselling books on Buddhism and ecology, The World We Have(2008) and Love Letter to the Earth (2013). In 2007 he led tens of thousands of his followers in shifting to a vegan diet. "In the past Buddhists were vegetarian with the intention to nourish our compassion towards animals. Now we know we should be vegan in order to protect the Earth."
In recent years Thich Nhat Hanh has contributed a powerful new spiritual dimension to the climate crisis, one that has inspired UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres. "We need to change our way of thinking and seeing things," he has said. "We need to wake up and fall in love with Earth." The deepest root of our current crisis is, he says, "the wrong view that you and the Earth are two separate entities: you think the Earth is only the environment. You are in the centre and you want to do something for the Earth in order for you to survive." But this, he says, "is a dualistic way of seeing things. It does not have the insight of interbeing. The Earth is so much more than simply your environment." This insight of interbeing is a unique Buddhist contribution to the climate change crisis. Love, compassion, generosity, and the insight of our mutual interdependence are, he suggests, what is needed — both in December's talks and long into the future. "Only when we truly love the Earth will our actions spring from reverence and the insight of our interconnectedness. That's the kind of awareness, the kind of awakening that we need. The future of the planet depends on whether we're able to cultivate this insight or not. It is our love for the Earth that will give us enough compassion, strength and insight to change our way of life."
Living simply, and staying connected to ourselves, our loved ones, and the Earth is key. "Centuries of individualism and competition have brought about tremendous destruction and alienation," he says. "Many of us are lost, isolated and lonely. We work too hard, our lives are too busy, and we are restless and distracted, losing ourselves in consumption. We buy and consume things we don't need, putting a heavy strain on both our bodies and the planet." Thay describes what he calls "the spiritual pollution of our human environment": the toxic and destructive atmosphere we're creating with our way of consuming, in the films we watch, the news or magazines we read. These, he says, all-too-often water the seeds of fear, anger, greed and hatred in our consciousness. He encourages us to consume in such a way that keeps our compassion, peace and generosity alive. "We don't need to consume a lot to be happy; in fact we can live very simply. With mindfulness, any moment can become a happy moment. Savoring one simple breath; taking a moment to stop and contemplate the bright blue sky; or fully enjoying the presence of a loved one, can be more than enough to make us happy."
During the height of the Vietnam War, Thay reminded us that "Man is not our enemy. The real enemy is our ignorance, discrimination, fear, and violence." The enemy now is not our governments or corporations, but the energy of greed, mindlessness and indifference. If in the Vietnam War we needed to stop shooting each other, in our current planetary crisis we need to stop our rampant culture of consuming and exploiting. It is a challenging time because the front line is not to be found in the battlefield, but within ourselves. We must take responsibility for our part, in our way of living and in our choices in each moment. Only then can we say that we love the Earth. Only then will we have a chance.

In these days I just don't know what is going on. There seems to be a planed pushed
attack on the Internet. Like a point of a Bilderberg Group meeting. Might be?!
There seems to be a push to control the Internet. Net neutrality lost.
The Dark Web is being shut down. But new ones will pop up all the time.
The Dark Web needs to grow up, yes they only did it to themselves...
The uneducated ones on there doing the stupid. The Dark Web needs to be more
useful to everyone! Anyway...
There is a push in the UK to stop porn! "Porn warps culture. I hope credit-card checks
nudge adults out of the habit."
Well Porn does not warp culture! It's the main human motivation of who we all are.
Humans and Animals are made with hormones and they are the ruling factor of
how we act! So trying to stop porn is on the level of being uneducated.
Like kids not having that talk, or sex education. Kids going to adults getting married,
having sex. Does the male know that it takes most females a longer time to have a
orgasm. Where the male gets done in five Minutes and lets the wife bake as he
goes to sleep! Even plants have fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CyviFJ8zDs
So you get the point of the point of Porn helping for what it is.
Give I do think Porn needs to push on more like education on a woman's
Bio needs for the viewers! In that kids that will seek out their own answers
should get a heads up from Porn, it's not about you, it's about others!
It's their bodies and they should know others also in function.
What is dopamine to who, you?
Not having sex, relates to having low Dopamine. Living a life of zombie with
your body in action is stupid! Or like a Absexual trait only in their mind!
"folks who get off complaining about sex and trying to censor porn."
On on the same basis of "Sadomasochist Republicans" on the point they
vote against their best interest. Republicans don't like the poor other than
getting votes from them. Yet they go along with the food stamp cuts etc.
Driving a tore up car from the 90's poor as hell with a Republican
bumper sticker on it. Why do you drive poor again?
The confederate flag on their tore up truck and home.
Why don't you see a confederate flag on a three story house or
Mercedes? They are not slaves! So the others must be talking about
themselves they are the slaves! Wage Slave!
Stop confusing the conservatards. No! Conservatism should not exist!
We can not make it if we are against our own people.
The one brings down the many. Low pay = consumer based pricing.
Less food stamps less food bought and less food stamp money for businesses!
No mandate for health insurance making others pay for the uninsured,
making others pay for it! So why not get rid of the mandate to have car insurance!
If people have to pay for the healthcare uninsured why not car uninsured?
All deflates... Why are they on the same level of Absexual, they like to suffer.
Why would they like better pay they might be able to buy something,
they don't want that? They want to drive a bad car they like it!
Absexual, they like it! They are both in the same fighting their own nature!
Living a life of Absexual and, or a Sadomasochist with a bad car,
is the same with humans that are sexual beings ran by hormones
is just stupid to fight your own nature, nature wins!
~~~~~"My school friend had to show me how to use a condom by rolling it down the stick shift of her car; it's a miracle I knew how to use one," Maine tells me in London, where she now lives. In her autobiographical short film Yes, God, Yes, the film-maker provides a snappy, hilarious and frank portrayal of a teenage girl discovering masturbation and sexuality in an unnamed Midwestern Catholic community in the late 90s, when the internet suddenly arrived in people's homes, presenting a mystifying world of possibility.
In little more than 10 minutes, this film gets at the hypocrisy present not only in Catholicism, but in all religions and adult life in general; the idea that most people don't practice what they preach. "Realizing adults are not infallible is always a turning point," says Maine. It's one she handles with care – and just the right amount of cringing.
"The idea that most people don't practice what they preach." comes to mind
of your hormones and the need for Dopamine in our bodies!
There is a lot of mental illness in acting stupid, fighting your own body,
needs! The point of like is really the Dopamine, a drug cocaine that
we all need or we become ill!
~~~~~Hormone Imbalance, Not Bipolar Disorder
~~~~~Poor Neurotransmitter Activity Linked to Mental Illnesses
~~~~~Have You Stopped Enjoying Life? Could Be Low Dopamine
~~~~~Poverty harms brain?
But most importantly here is what a stress was considered by the authors.
Give her a glass of water. Is it worth it, let me work it!
I said get her a glass of water!

Beautiful family. Just thought I'd share that your journey has been inspiring to us. We have wanted to adopt from China for the last 15+ years. After having 3 kids we thought we were done and it wasn't meant to be. (Four kids would be crazy:). After following your journey, along with many other blogs, I knew that we could do it. Our daughters are very close in age to your three oldest. So many of your posts truly hit home, especially the post about your husbands support. It is so similar to our marriage and the support my husband has showered me with joining me on this dream. We now have a PA for a 19 month old boy and are hoping to be DTC in the next 5-6 weeks. Thanks for sharing your family with us. We can't wait to see what this next year has in store us. All the bast to your family.ReplyDelete

Harlem School of the Arts on Broadway

Harlem Buildings
Found this great blog with a posting about some of the building I pass everyday. Growing up in Toronto, I was always painfully aware of how little we knew about the architecture there, and consequently, how little we knew of the city's past. One holiday season as I was returning to New York, I remember speaking to a woman from Montreal who said that if her town had the money, they would have bulldozed their past the same way Toronto did. Any chance the cultural history of the two cities might be tied to these facts?

Because she alleged enough facts to suggest a continuing violation, a Chicago paramedic could pursue Title VII and Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) claims related to a decision to place her on leave, ruled a federal district court in Illinois. However, because she did not allege any injury from the classification of her leave as off-duty after she returned to work, she failed to establish standing to pursue her claims arising from the classification. Accordingly, the court granted in part and denied in part the city's motion to dismiss various claims regarding the city's handling of her pregnancy leave and her need to pump breastmilk upon her return from pregnancy leave. The court ruled that the paramedic may pursue her disparate impact claim because she sufficiently alleged that a city assignment policy caused her injury. Finally, the court ruled that city failed to show that there is no private right of action under the Illinois Nursing Mothers in the Workplace Act (INMWA) (Spriesch v. City of Chicago, October 26, 2017, Ellis, S.).
Continuing violation. In June 2014, after the employee informed her supervisor she was pregnant, the supervisor asked her to go on leave immediately. She alleged that the city required her to stay on leave throughout her pregnancy and to report monthly in person or by phone to confirm she was still pregnant. In contrast to other city fire department employees who received temporary assignments, the city allegedly has a pattern and practice of placing pregnant employees on immediate leave. The employee claimed that the city violated Title VII and IHRA when it forced her to go on leave immediately after she told her supervisors that she was pregnant.
The city asserted that her claims were time-barred. Even assuming the city placed her on leave on the last day of June 2014 that alleged act of discrimination occurred 462 days before she filed her discrimination charge—well beyond the time for filing a charge under either statute. Still, the court found that the employee alleged enough facts to suggest a continuing violation, and so could pursue her claims related to the decision to place her on leave. She alleged that the city's wrongdoing was ongoing because each month the city required that she check in, allow the city to confirm her pregnancy, and receive a determination on whether she would continue on leave. Moreover, her complaint could be read as alleging that each act of placing her on leave was a new wrong making the subsequent leave decisions within the limitations period actionable.
No standing as to leave designation claim. The employee gave birth to her child on February 4, 2015, and returned to work two months later on April 8, 2015. Upon her return, the city designated her leave as off-duty injury leave, which can be used for up to 12 months every two years, rather than on-the-job injury leave, which can be used for up to 12 months as often as is needed. The city has a pattern and practice of designating pregnancy leave as off-duty injury leave. The plaintiff used 308 days of leave. The plaintiff alleged that the city classifying her leave as off-duty injury leave was discriminatory because of the difference in her ability to use off-duty leave (renewable every two years) versus on-duty leave (unlimited). However, the court, agreeing with the city, found that the plaintiff did not establish standing to pursue her claims arising from the classification because she failed to allege any injury resulting from the difference between the off-duty classification and an on-duty classification. Nor could she allege she suffered an adverse employment action because of the classification.
Breaks to pump breastmilk. Because the employee was breastfeeding when she returned to work and could not breastfeed her child at work, she needed to pump breastmilk. Although she informed city fire department officials of this situation, no one told her about any accommodations for pumping. She needed to pass a re-training course to reenter the field, but was not allowed to pump and express breastmilk for hours. When she requested a reasonable accommodation for pumping and expressing breastmilk, the instructor in re-training required her to perform two more re-training days and required her to stay later than other employees. She submitted a union grievance and complained to the city's EEO division.
IHRA reasonable accommodation claims. On January 1, 2015, Illinois amended the IHRA to require that employers provide reasonable accommodations for medical and other common conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. The city argued that the plaintiff could not bring IHRA pregnancy accommodation claims based on acts that occurred before January 1, 2015 because the relevant amendment to the Act was not retroactive. Agreeing, the court explained that under Illinois law, new statutes do not apply retroactively unless the legislature expressly states that they do. The text of the IHRA statute itself does not clearly indicate the amendment's temporal reach, and the plaintiff offered no proof of retroactive intent by the legislature when it enacted the January 1, 2015 amendment.
Temporary assignments. As a result of her leave, the employee lost her regular ambulance assignment and began receiving temporary firehouse assignments. Few relief pool firehouses provided access to a private, non-bathroom area for pumping and expressing breastmilk, resulting in the employee often having to pump in a restroom or ambulance and discard her breastmilk.
The plaintiff alleged that the city's method for detailing shift assignments had a discriminatory impact on lactating female employees such as herself. Here, the employee's contention that she was detailed to firehouses that could not safely accommodate her needs as a nursing mother were sufficient, at the pleading stage, to allege a discriminatory shift assignment policy. The allegations in the complaint provided the parties with enough factual content to conduct discovery on the policy, the court found. Further, her allegations were sufficient to show how the policy caused the wrongful injury to lactating women. She alleged that many firehouses do not have private, non-bathroom space and that senior officials acknowledged to her that she would be sent to those firehouses. On the other hand, other individuals had their shift assignments tailored to their needs.
Private right of action under the INMWA. The employee also sufficiently alleged a violation of the INMWA. Although the INMWA does not explicitly provide for a private right of action, the court explained that a private right of action may be implied. Here, the city argued that a private right of action under INMWA is not necessary because the IHRA already provides penalties for violations of INMWA. The court, however, pointed out that the Illinois test looks at whether or not the law in question already provides an effective remedy. In this instance, the city failed to argue whether the IHRA already provides an effective remedy that would preclude any need for an implied private right of action. Therefore, the court ruled that the plaintiff may proceed with her INMWA claim.

Do you wish there was someone to teach you about virtual and augmented reality? You're in luck. Chronos Global Academy just announced an open house this coming Wednesday, the 7th, from 7 to 10 pm. They're a couple blocks west of the Seattle Public Library downtown. If you want to learn about VR and AR in a more formal way, this should be well worth checking out. Learn more here.
I know a little about Chronos through the involvement of Ricardo Parker, who helped organize the Extreme Futures and Tech Forecasting conference I attended awhile back. It's only a matter of time before learning AR and VR technologies becomes a more formalized process. Chronos appears to be leading the charge to bring pedagogy to the industry. They seem especially keen on teaching classes about augmented reality, in particular the Hololens.
I'm told the open house is going to be an opportunity to try out "nearly every headset" as well as an experience called "The Impossible Travel Agency" that is debuting this weekend at PAX. I imagine this will be an excellent opportunity to level up your knowledge of VR/AR.

What has life been asking of you?
It is an interesting exercise to ask people to feel into their heart's longing. We may begin feeling, but often, too quickly, we begin to formulate our ideas and beliefs. Feeling is a more ambiguous place to stay. I have found personally that the ideas and ideals we grasp onto often mimic the already assumed beliefs and expectations of what we think we should be doing, how we should be and what life should look like. While our ideas may align with our heartfelt path, at times it diverges from it. The good news is that we all come into this existence with an inner compass that is informing us whether we are in or out of harmony with life. However, when the voice of the world and the ego is strong and loud, it takes practice to listen to the quieter whispers of the Heart.
Listening to this that is more quiet and often ambiguous is not easy. It requires courage and faith. Among the many things I continue to learn on my path, one is that life asks us to rest with many moments of not knowing than otherwise. This can feel threatening to the ego that needs to figure things out. We can feel "out of control" because in those moments we are not in control. Life is. Grace is. Rather than struggling to create the life we think we should have, we faithfully surrender to the life that is waiting for us. This can unleash a powerful feeling of freedom and harmony. Yes, this sounds like a complete paradox and it is.
So, are you willing to surrender your own will to the greater Will and longing of your Heart. Perhaps instead of what do I want from life, consider what has life been asking of me? In a rational, thinking oriented and productivity based world, it is hard and often scary to listen to our hearts. Yet when we don't, life may feel more mechanical, less alive. Which is harder in the end?
I'll leave you with words of wisdom from Joseph Campbell.

Sheila! I've benefited so much from your teaching this week. One cool thing is that for a few days after we talked about "silence co-arising" and "deep listening," in other yoga classes and while meditating, I would feel a distinct pull in my ears. Is there such a thing as an ear chakra, I wondered? because it felt a lot like my experience of the sixth chakra in the middle of my head. Finally one day I googled it and yes, Virginia, there are ear chakras! Thank you for helping me open mine up.January 5, 2017

- Jonathan Leder is an American photographer in his mid 30ies from...guess...NYC. For a change.
He has been working for quite a few nice clients (Elle Italia, etc.) On his site it's film only, from MF to Polaroid with of course good Ol' 35mm. His moody pictures have a little something of that 70ies vintage touch with young naked skinny girl as for Ryan McGinley. However, Ryan's work is more a vision of asexual innocently fucked up but happy kids (males and females), touched by some sort of immortal grace, Leder's work bends a lot toward a fashion aesthetics. A mix of Vogue and happily trashed 70ies America.
Very strong moods, use of grain and natural light is delightful. I love it, even if it's not very original. I mean naked models in a trash set up has been done a million times, NYC people have to go out a little, but he does it better (and the all drug thing can really piss me off. If you are a junky, you're a piece of shit, nothing cool about it).
Photoshop junkies have everything to learn from him.

There are many reasons why the Toyota Tacoma is a favorite among other compact pickup trucks. One reason is its off-road capabilities, enabling drivers to take on multiple terrain types. This gives Tacoma owners the sport and action they may be looking for. If you aren't into off-roading, this truck also behaves well on the pavement, providing a smooth ride with plenty of power to back it up. This comfortable truck can seamlessly take you from the city to the mountains thanks to its excellent suspension and the amount of steel that Toyota has integrated into its construction. If you are considering the Toyota Tacoma, you are encouraged to test both the automatic transmission and the 6-speed manual. The 6-speed can pack a punch in off-road environments, while the automatic can give you a very pleasant experience on the pavement. When you take your chosen Tacoma trim off the road, you get 9.4 inches of ground clearance, which allows it to take on the rough terrain without a problem. You'll also find that the inside is just as rugged as the outside, so it takes the rough ride very well. Even the three passengers in the backseat will find that the ride is much more comfortable than expected.
The 2017 Tacoma has a great look, which was updated for the 2016 model year. The interior has a 6.1-inch touchscreen, which you can upgrade to a 7-inch screen if you need it. Regardless of the screen size, it is easy to navigate. You can enjoy the built-in navigation and the highly responsive Entune system, as well as a wide range of apps.
As for what truly sets the 2017 Toyota Tacoma apart from the previous year, it comes with six trim levels instead of five. The addition is the TRD Pro. The TRD Pro comes with better off-road suspension and equipment. It isn't your typical Tacoma because of its 16-inch wheels, fender flares, hood scoop, front skid plate, taillight bezels, and fog lights. The TRD Pro also has a special traction-control system that improves grip without having to cut throttle input. Even the automatic version of the TRD Pro gets multi-terrain select, hill-start assist, off-road cruise control, and crawl control. The TRD Pro is based on the TRD Off-Road, but it comes with a lot more bells and whistles than you could ever expect.

The Toyota Tacoma has come a long way in its history. It began in 1995 as the compact truck it is classified as today. The second generation led Toyota to make it a midsize truck, but the company had to backtrack to the compact model because that's what buyers wanted out of a multi-terrain truck. In its beginnings, the Tacoma was the replacement for the "Toyota Pickup," as it was called in the United States. The truck was the answer to consumer demand for a smoother ride that was much more comfortable. Consumers also wanted better safety, a more attractive design, and better handling. The goal wasn't to give the truck better payload capacity or make it more rugged than it already was. The goal was to appeal to a market that no longer wanted pickup trucks for agricultural purposes or towing. People wanted trucks for everyday use. Eventually, consumer feedback led to Toyota creating a larger and more powerful Tacoma in 2004 that had 18 configurations. There were two engines, three cab styles, and four transmissions to choose from. Buyers could also choose the bed length. Today, there are 28 configurations between the six trim levels. Between now and then, Toyota has reworked the exterior and put in a higher quantity of high-strength steel to make the Tacoma more rigid.
If you are ready to try the Toyota Tacoma, you can stop by Toyota of Boerne. We have a large inventory of Toyota trucks, cars, and SUVs that you can see first-hand. Come see us today in Boerne, Texas, and let us help you find your next vehicle.

Since more than two years numerous friends of Ukraine around the world fight for those values that were at stake in the battle on the euromaidan in Kyiv in the winter 2013/2014 – also we do, a small NGO, named swissukraine.org .
It is high time to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those upright supporters of the Ukrainian people, who struggle for human rights, for democracy and freedom with all their power: Thank you all for your important support.
Each contribution is a very important part of a global network, to support the people of Ukraine, who for years now are being exposed to a brutal and bloody hybrid war of Putin's Russia, a war that daily injures people and unfortunately Ukrainian people are often daily killed.
Nearly two million people have been displaced. Many thousands of people have been injured and traumatised and will be invalids for the rest of their lives – many thousands of people have been killed, as civilians or as soldiers, in an effort to keep Putin hordes at bay.
I personally and many of my friends, support Ukraine and its people, because we are convinced this is not only about a country, on the border with Russia, but it is about the foundations of our modern civilization – nothing less is in acute danger.
All people that withhold the continued terror of Putin and his ingenious systems, until the edge of exhaustion – the warmest thanks for everything you do for Ukraine and its people –
it is often bloody hard – targeted decomposition starting from Putin's Russia, the non-stop and hybrid terror gnaws at us all.
In the upcoming very difficult time, let us work together, even smarter, more intense, more creative in collaboration, for the people of Ukraine and for our own good.
This song of Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, the Ukrainian singer, songwriter, artist, activists and scientist – it was his song that has triggered me to write you this, and it shall be his song with which I want to thank you.
And Svyatoslav Vakarchuk – if I may wish something – I wish the next Ukrainian president would be Svyatoslav Vakarchuk: Hope and strength grows in the hearts of my friends, my friends here in the West and in Ukraine, thanks to people like him. I know you will tell me I am not in the position to wish for something and meddle into this field. I know they will say, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is not a politician, perhaps he says that himself. But Vaclav Havel for example, when he became president, was a writer and still became the president the people wished for. Our friends in Ukraine will decide.
Many thanks to my colleague in Kyiv, Oksana Pooley for translation the song of Svyatoslav Vakarchuk into English!

Mother of victim in intoxication manslaughter crash backs ex-Cowboy as sentencing begins
- Image 1 of 1
DALLAS – As former Dallas Cowboys tackle Josh Brent faces sentencing for intoxication manslaughter, the mother of the victim stands behind Brent.
Stacey Jackson has said she's forgiven Brent for the December 2012 wreck that killed her son, Cowboys practice squad player Jerry Brown. Brent and Brown were close friends and college teammates at the University of Illinois.
Jackson could be one of several witnesses Brent's attorneys could call to argue for leniency when sentencing begins Thursday.
Brent was convicted Wednesday of intoxication manslaughter for Brown's death in a fiery crash on a suburban Dallas highway after a night of partying with fellow Cowboys players.
He faces up to 20 years in prison, though he's also eligible for probation.

Saint Gregory Palamas
Saint Gregory Palamas, Theologian of Hesychasm
Saint Gregory Palamas is not very widely venerated by the Catholic Church; in fact, his status as a recognized Saint is somewhat controversial. However, the Melkite Catholic Church, one of the Eastern Rite Churches in communion with Rome and as fully Catholic as the Latin Catholic Church, venerates him as a Saint.
Apparently His Holiness Blessed Pope John Paul II gave some clarification on the issue when, in the months following his assassination attempt in 1981, he supposedly recognized Gregory Palamas as a Saint. In the book "How Not to Say Mass" by Father Dennis C. Smolarski,S.J., Father Smolarski says that Blessed Pope John Paul II referred to Gregory as Saint Palamas while speaking before a group of mixed Eastern Orthodox and Catholics. However, this claim is disputed, as the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano only records an Orthodox Bishop referring to Gregory Palamas as a Saint.
In 1971 the Holy Synod approved allowing the commemoration of Saint Palamas during Great Lent due to the use of his theology in several Melkite Catholic prayers, and from then on the Melkite Catholics chose to officially commemorate him. For this reason in particular it can be said with reasonable confidence that the Vatican has no issues with the Melkite Catholic Church in regards to recognizing Gregory Palamas as a Saint.
The Church is not certain about many details of the early life of Saint Palamas. He was probably born in Constantinople of a noble Anatolian family (Anatolian refers to the region where Constantinople is located; it comprises most of the modern day Republic of Turkey). Even as a child he was attracted to the monastic life. Somewhere close to the year 1318 his brothers and him went to Mount Athos in modern day Macedonia to study Hesychasm, a mystical tradition of prayer based on experiencing God directly before trying to understand Him with the intellect. Saint Palamas later ended up becoming one of the premier defenders of Hesychastic prayer.
In 1318 the encroachment of the Turks forced Saint Palamas to flee to the Greek island of Thessalonica; it was there he was ordained a Priest in the year 1326. After this Saint Palamas lived as a hermit at a mountain near Beroea in Northern Greece, but he eventually returned to Athos in 1331.
In 1337 Saint Palamas got involved in a controversy with a Greek monk named Barlaam. Barlaam believed that philosophers had greater knowledge of God than the prophets and valued education and learning over contemplative prayer. He believed the monks at Mount Athos were wasting their time praying instead of studying to gain intellectual knowledge.
Saint Palamas criticized the extreme rationalism of Barlaam, prompting Barlaam to make a vicious attack on the hesychastic monks. The Saint responded with a brilliant scholarly work known as "Triads in defense of the Holy Hesychasts" (c. 1338). Saint Palamas's teaching was supported by the other monks in a council held in 1340-41.
In 1341 a Synod in Constantinople affirmed the Saint's views and condemned Barlaam's teachings. Two more Synods that met in 1347 and 1351 also supported Saint Palamas. The Eastern Orthodox generally look at these three Synods together where they comprise the Ninth Ecumenical Council; however, Catholics give it no such distinction.
Between the Synods of 1347 and 1351 Saint Palamas wrote a concise explosition of his theology known as "One Hundred and Fifty Chapters". It is from this work that we get the most knowledge about the Saint's theology.
In 1347 Saint Palamas was made the Archbishop of Thessalonica, but due to the political climate he could not actually take up his See until 1350. While voyaging to the Imperial Capital he was captured by the Turks and held for over a year. He died in 1359. The Orthodox Church glorified him (recognized him officially as a Saint) in 1368. Melkite Catholics cannot technically accept Orthodox glorification as official; however, Melkite Catholic tradition recognizes Gregory Palamas as a Saint.
Saint Palamas's theology became extremely influential in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches. His theology is now known to us as Palamism. Palamistic theology is very complex and especially difficult for Latin Catholics to understand. Palamas teaches that we can only know God by what he called his energies; that is, we can know what God does and who He is in relation to mankind. It is, however, impossible for us to know the essence of god, or what God actually is. Palamism is a way to reconcile two seemingly contradictory ideas about God; on one hand, God is far greater than we are and it will always be impossible for our puny minds to ever truly understand him.
On the other hand, God has revealed certain things about Himself to humanity through the Prophets and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is from what He has revealed to us that we get our knowledge about Him.
Saint Palamas also talks of the Apostles seeing the uncreated light of God. The easiest way to explain this to Latin Catholics is that the uncreated light refers to the Glory of God revealed to the Apostles at the Transfiguration and to the Saints in Heaven. The Saints experience the true Glory of God that He reveals to us, but it is still impossible for our human minds to understand God's true nature.
This relates to how the Saints in Heaven experience God's glory. Latin theology refers to the Beatific Vision, or being in the Presence of God; this is the ultimate joy of Heaven. Palamistic theology, by contrast, claims that we cannot see God's true essence. Heaven is a never-ending process of theosis, or becoming more like God and understanding more of Him. This wonderful process that is the source of our ultimate joy will continue forever, since it is impossible for creatures to truly know everything about God. There is a certain beauty to the thought that humanity will never stop learning and never stop improving; in Palamistic theology, Heaven is anything but boring!
Saint Gregory Palamas is still very prevalent throughout the Eastern Catholic Churches, and he is undoubtedly a wonderful Saint for the Melkite Catholics to venerate. He is not officially a Patron Saint of anything, although we might perhaps call him a Father of the Melkite Catholic Church and the Patron Saint of Hesychasm. His Feast Day is recognized on the Second Sunday of Great Lent.
If you enjoyed this hub, also see:
He might be controversial to Latin Catholics, but he has never been so in the East. Interestingly, there are a number of "post schism" saints who are venerated in the East. Saint Gregory of Narek, who Pope Francis recently declared a doctor of the church, was not in communion with Rome during his lifetime.
I love reading about these Saints. To be honest, never heard of this one so now I am more wiser. As always your hubs are very well written and I enjoyed the learning.
Very nice! Well done!
