Scholarship, Urban Health and Brachytherapy All Part of Graduate's Memories
Many fourth-graders have a dream profession and it often doesn�t pan out. Firefighter, star athlete and astronaut are common. Andrew Frankart dreamed of becoming a physician, but the difference is the fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine is now within reach of his goal.
Frankart, 25, born in Cincinnati and raised in Lima, Ohio, will be among the 148 students who will receive medical degrees during Honors Day activities, May 19, 2018, at the Aronoff Center in downtown Cincinnati. For Frankart the journey to UC has been marked with scholarship and research, excellent mentors and lasting memories.
"I have been blessed to have a continuous stream of great experiences throughout,� says Frankart. "There are too many to say in one setting. If I had to draw out one common thread that links them all together it would be the outstanding kindness and support I have received from so many people during my undergraduate years and in medical school.�
Frankart entered UC as an undergraduate with a perfect score on the ACT and as a National Merit Finalist. He completed his bachelor�s degree in biology and received a full Presidential scholarship in the Cincinnatus Scholarship Program.
He was attracted to UC and enrolled because of the Connections Program, which allows students to apply to both a UC undergraduate degree program and MD program in the College of Medicine simultaneously.
"I chose UC because I knew there was a very strong medical program and that�s where I ultimately saw myself going,� says Frankart. "I also recognized that there were great research opportunities here and that had been an interest of mine prior to coming to UC.�
As an undergraduate, Frankart joined the UC student service organization, What�s in a Doctor�s Bag, which provides entertaining medical education to children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds designed to encourage regular health checkups. His interest in outreach to underserved populations continued in medical school when Frankart was co-director of the Urban Health Project long with fellow medical student, Jessica Hwang.
The Urban Health Project is a nonprofit, medical student-run organization that places students who have finished their first year of medical school in summer internships with medical and social service agencies in Greater Cincinnati.
"Our role was to manage the group of interns that we had that summer and insure our relationships with our community partners were continuing to be fruitful,� says Frankart. "Throughout the academic year we also sought grant funding to support the project. I really enjoyed that experience. It allowed me to better understand the needs of underserved populations though interacting with our community partners. It will equip me to better serve my patients in the future.�
During his third-year clinical rotations, Frankart got the chance to work with Jordan Kharofa, MD, assistant professor of radiation oncology. He long had an interest in cancer as a specialty after a family member died from the disease. Frankart was introduced to an area of cancer treatment known as brachytherapy, which involves the placement of radiation sources in the body and is often used in several types of cancer.
The experience led to a research project with Kharofa, Teresa Meier, MD, and Thomas Minges and convinced Frankart to train in radiation oncology. He will spend four years of residency at UC in radiation oncology after one year of general medicine training at Kettering Medical Center in Kettering, Ohio.
"I am thrilled to be doing my residency here at UC as well,� says Frankart. "One thing that really struck me about our department is the combination of excellent clinical care and genuine compassion and kindness for patients that everyone in the department demonstrates. That approach starts with the chair, Dr. William Barrett, and extends throughout the entire Cancer Institute. I think it will be a great environment in which to train and I couldn�t be happier to remain at UC.�
Frankart, who was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society this year, offers some advice to the crop of new medical students who will enter UC in August.
"I�ve learned to never take for granted the opportunities you are given as a medical student,� says Frankart. "Being a medical student is no doubt a grueling experience but I found that, from every difficult class or rotation, there is something you can take from it that will directly impact your ability to take care of your patients in the future. Keeping that in mind throughout the difficult experiences is really helpful.�
Abbigail Tissot, PhD, assistant dean of admissions in the UC College of Medicine, says Frankart truly embodies the values of the �Cincinnati Medicine� family.
"Andrew is hard-working, compassionate, and truly brilliant,� says Tissot. "It did not surprise us that he�d pursue a specialty area that applied all of those talents to benefit the human condition at its most fragile moments.�
"We are so proud to have been a part of Andrew�s journey from Bearcat to MedCat and beyond. His many successes are a reminder to all that being academically successful and a truly exceptional humanist absolutely can go hand-in-hand and, in fact, they should,� says Tissot. "Andrew�s combination of gifts will benefit patients in a way that will advance the field and inspire future generations to serve others through clinical medicine.�

The people at the First U.P. Church of Crafton Heights are spending much of 2017-2018 in an exploration of the Gospel of Mark. On February 4 we joined with Peter in remembering the ways that Jesus confronted the power structures and pointed us towards practices that can restore our own lives. You can check it out for yourself, as this is recorded in Mark 2:23-3:6. To hear this message as it was preached in worship, please use the audio player below:
If you had come upon me in the college dining hall that evening and asked me how it was that I came to be wearing that lovely collage of mashed potatoes and gravy, chocolate pudding, and coke, I might have said that I had no idea. But I'd have been lying.
A group of us were sitting around and, as often happens, began teasing one of our number. We fed on each other's energy and wit, and failed to see that the more animated we became, the more sullen and withdrawn our victim was. I'm ashamed to say that I carried on more than most, and some of my peers were trying to get my attention – waving and gesturing to knock it off. During one interlude, the object of our jokes looked around and said, "One more time. Go ahead, say that one more time." Would you believe me if I told you that four out of five college students were smart enough to shut up at that point?
But not me! I had to say it, one more time. And before I knew what was happening, my friend had flipped the trays off the table, covering me with the remains of his dinner, and walked out of the room.
My companions looked at me and laughed, and then said, "Come on, Dave, didn't you see it? Man, he had the look. You gotta know that when he's giving you that look, you better stop… or something messy could happen."
None of you were there that day, but I think you know what I mean. Do you know someone who has "a look"? I know for a fact that some of you have "a look" – a way of glancing around the room and communicating that whatever is happening right now is serious stuff, and the rest of us had best pay attention…
According to one of the men who knew him best, Jesus had a "look". We heard about it in the morning's Gospel reading, where we're told that Jesus "looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.'"
You may have been here the morning we started our exploration of the Gospel of Mark, where I suggested that even though we believe Mark to have been the writer, the source of this narrative is the Apostle Peter. When Peter is remembering this incident from Jesus' life so many years before, he chooses a particular word. Where we have translated "look around", the Greek uses periblepomai. It's an unusual word, and we find that Mark uses it five times in his Gospel. Apart from one place where Luke is quoting this story, these are the only places in the New Testament where that word occurs.
My hunch is that the old fisherman didn't remember everything, and he surely didn't remember everything well (for instance, in our reading for today he mistakenly says that Abiathar was the High Priest, when in fact it was Ahimelek – and I have to admit, I kind of enjoy the fact that all those Old Testament names were confusing to even one of the twelve apostles…) – but Peter would never forget the way that Jesus could hold a group with his eyes and give them the look that said so much more than words could ever say. To his dying day, the disciple remembered the searching, sweeping, examination that came from Jesus to those around him.
The occasion for "the look" was a worship service. Jesus had begun to engage some of the religious and political leaders of his day about the appropriate ways to honor God and the commandments – especially the command to keep the Sabbath. I think that what really gets Jesus going here is the fact that these folks who claim to be on the side of holiness and righteousness are so willing to shamelessly use a man who would have been on the fringes of society to accomplish their ends.
They've invited "Lefty", the fellow from down the street with a handicapped arm – a man whose ability to provide for his family would have been seriously limited in that day and age – and they use this man as bait to see whether or not Jesus will "break" the Sabbath again and try to heal this man's hand. There is no hint of interest in actually making this poor guy's life any better – he's a tool they're using to see whether their hatred for Jesus is "justified".
Furthermore, Jesus calls these men out for pulling this stunt on the very day that they're claiming to honor, saying, "Is it better to heal or to kill on the Sabbath?", knowing that they are, in fact, using the Sabbath to look for a way to destroy him (even though they're cloaking everything in religious language).
So Jesus sees the trap that they've laid for him and simply glares at them, and then he goes ahead and brings healing to this man and his community. And now, these leaders have to make a choice. They could have celebrated that the man's arm was now whole and he had a new kind of freedom. They could have asked Jesus how this sort of healing related to the Kingdom of which he spoke. They could have praised God. But you know what they did – verse six: "The Pharisees went out, and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him."
I'm sure that you remember this really well, but for the sake of the person sitting next to you who's a little fuzzy on all of these Bible names, let me remind you that the Pharisees were the religious leaders of the Jewish people. They oversaw worship and served as spiritual guides. The Herodians were a political party – they were people who were affiliated with and drew some benefit from their support of King Herod – the puppet governor that the Romans had set up to rule this part of the world.
It seems to me that this passage is just another reminder to us – and people of every age – that when the religious leaders and the political leaders get in bed with each other, it's usually bad news for Jesus. Some things never change.
The broader context for this interchange has been set in the first part of our reading, the end of Mark 2. The disciples are walking through a field and as they do so, they grab a little fast food to munch as they walk. Immediately, the Pharisees point out that this is a violation of one of the rules – "everybody knows" that you can't do that kind of work on the Sabbath. The "law" to which they refer isn't found in the Bible, but rather a book of rules that humans had produced over the years to make sure that God's rules weren't being broken. You heard the commandment: God said to rest on the Sabbath, and use that day to remember God's provision. This book to which the religious people point took that rule and broke it down. For instance, they said that you couldn't walk on the grass on the Sabbath, because walking on the grass pressed it down, and pressing it down was like cutting it, and cutting it was work, and work was prohibited. A woman couldn't look in the mirror on the Sabbath because if she did, she might see a grey hair, and then she might pluck it, and plucking a hair was work, which was not allowed. Pulling a stalk of grain and munching it as they walked was an example of this kind of violation, and the religious leaders are all over Jesus for being "soft" on the Sabbath.
Don't we love doing that kind of thing? We take something that God has said and we put it in a box and wrap it up and say, "Well, of course, this is what God really meant to say… You know, God can be a little confusing sometimes, so don't bother trying to figure it out on your own… just trust me. I know what God really meant – and you are wrong!"
God in a box is incredibly appealing for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is that we will never, ever get "the look" from a God we have gotten so well figured out that he'll fit into our little box.
The truth is, of course, that a "god" who can fit into one of my little boxes isn't really any kind of God at all. A god in a box is a god who will not surprise us, does not ask for anything from us, and ultimately has only as much power as we ourselves do.
Jesus modeled a life that was open to – and hopeful for – God's intrusion. Jesus taught us to look for and to welcome God's surprising appearances in our lives. While we want to say "yes" to that kind of faith the reality is that so often our existence is so crowded and so filled with work and obsessions and toys and screens and getting and spending that there is simply no room for God to interrupt. As a result, our lives themselves become increasingly difficult to interpret and decreasingly meaningful…
Here's an example. We believe that the Gospel of Mark was written late in the first century. It would have been written in Greek and on a scroll or a papyrus. Here's an image of one of the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament, called Papyrus 46:
Can you make heads or tails of that? You say, "Of course not, Dave, it looks like Greek or something. I can't read that."
OK, so here's the same text, translated into English. How's this? Is that any better?
Maybe a little, but it's tough, right? It's all capitals, and there are no spaces or punctuation. Let's try one more time.
Here's the same passage, this time in English with punctuation and spaces. Does this make more sense?
Of course it does.
What's different? The final version, in addition to being in English, has more "white space". Although we would say that all of the heavy lifting in this image is being done by the dark print, the fact of the matter is that the message is actually conveyed because there is sufficient "white space" for our minds and eyes to be able to take in the content and process it. The white spaces on the pages of our books and magazines make it possible for us to glean meaning and purpose – we can get the message that the author intended in part because of the spaces that have been left blank.
Let me suggest that the practice of Sabbath as given by the Lord and upheld by Jesus is one of the best means by which we will be able to insert some "white space" into our own lives – a way in which we can reduce some of the clutter we encounter and therefore allow God some space that is out of the box in which to help us discern how best to honor him and serve our neighbor.
Choosing to honor God's creational intent by setting aside some time for reflection and awareness will permit us to enter into uncertainty and ambiguity trusting that God can bring order out of chaos (it's what he does, after all).
Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the foremost Jewish theologians of the 20th century, said, "There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern."[1]
What I think that means for us is that we can get out of our own boxes by consciously setting aside some time to engage and be engaged by the Lord. Look for opportunities to wonder and to wander, and to lay down our insistence to be creating and making and spending and doing all the time.
If we do that, there's a chance that we can get rid of our boxes as we recognize the truth that there is more to God than I can ever grasp, and there is more to life in God's world than that of which I am currently aware.
You see, the fear that ruled the lives of the Pharisees and Herodians threatens each of us every day: what if God is bigger than we can imagine God to be?
The folks in the Synagogue that day had some idea of what God's messiah would look like. They had it all figured out. But Jesus didn't fit that image. And so Jesus had to die.
What about you? What about me? Am I open to God teaching me new things? I am willing to let Jesus shape me and change me? Or am I too comfortable with my own set of little beliefs and practices and I don't really want to think about them too much, thanks all the same…
In Genesis, we learn that God created humanity in his own image. It was good. It was very good. The problem is that ever since then, we've been trying to create God in our own image – a god who fits in our own little boxes. And so we worship a god who has been, at times in the last couple of thousand years, a racist god, a violent god, a god who wants to make me rich, a god who tells me that I'm better than you…
Peter remembered Jesus giving "the look". And while some of those present might have come to associate that only with the anger of Jesus, my sense is that Peter remembered it because it was so meaningful, so inviting, so searching that it changed him to his very core. May you and I this week seek to live and move and dwell in a rhythm that includes the Sabbath to the end that we might see and perceive the glance of the Savior as inviting us to new places of joy and participation. My charge for you this week is simple: find some time to sit still and allow Jesus to wrap you in his "look". I suspect that you will be changed by that. Peter was. I know that I am. Thanks be to God. Amen.

I love Mondays. Mainly because of The Guardian's Monday supplement G2 and its 'Ask Hadley' series. Every Monday Hadley Freeman answers sartorial questions in a witty and often unexpected way. And I rarely disagree. But when it comes to blaspheming Carrie Bradshaw, I can't just sit and watch injustice happen.
The impertinent insolence titled 'Does anyone want to dress like Carrie Bradshaw anymore?'
I stumbled through the article and tripped over the highlighted phrase 'The whole Sex and the City look has become a parody in itself.'
Was dressing like CB ever the idea? Or shouldn't the question be 'Did anyone ever want to dress like Carrie Bradshaw?'
I am not known to be particularly fashion forward or brave when it comes to fashion trends. Neither am I an early adopter, let alone a trendsetter. But I always thought of Carrie Bradshaw as a style icon. An inspiration. A source of ideas.
Of course you wouldn't want to leave the house like this:
But neither would that be an appropriate school-gates-look:
Admittedly, Vivienne Westwood was mentioned more than once in the movie. So what? Does it mean the movie was less authentic? For me this mention made the movie even more real. Imagine your wedding dress had been a present of one of the most influential British designers of all times. I personally would have gone on and on about it. I might have even blogged about it.
And what's with all that slagging off Carrie's dress sense in Paris? What's not to love? The Sonia Rykiel jumper?
The red Oscar de la Renta dress?
I would wear it. Right now. Without hesitation. And by the way, Eiffel Tower jumpers are very much du jour, mon amour.
To me, Sex and the City never was 'a sweet idealisation of how many young women would dress if they had the nous and a few extra funds'. It was and still is about four friends that go through a lot together; the idealisation of female best friends that happen to be extraordinarily dressed.
But then, what do I get upset about a supplement that calls this the 'Look of the week'?

An Iranian official said two protesters previously reported killed in the city of Doroud on Saturday night during anti-government demonstrations were targeted by foreign agents and not the police.
"Violent clashes broke out in the illegal demonstration in Doroud on Saturday and unfortunately two people were killed," Habibollah Khojastehpour, the deputy governor of Lorestan province, said in an interview on state television on Sunday.
"No shots were fired by the police and security forces. We have found evidence of enemies of the revolution, Takfiri groups and foreign agents in this clash," he added.
Khojastehpour did not explain the killings but said security forces had not fired on the crowd.
"The goal was for the protest to end peacefully but due to the presence of certain people and groups, unfortunately this happened," he added.
Videos, reportedly from Doroud, of bleeding victims being carried through the crowd were spreading widely on social media overnight but could not be verified.
A Revolutionary Guards Telegram channel blamed the killing on "people armed with hunting and military weapons" who "entered the protests and started shooting randomly toward the crowd and the governor's building".
It said two people were killed and six wounded.

And weary from my nearly fatal run-in there with death
I stretched myself out in the sun to find a moment's rest
Then pondered in my pious soul; now where must I go next?
Clenching in my fist the gold for which I had been sent
A chalice, which, from my own folly, now was sorely bent
I set out west upon my quest to wander yet some more
I shall seek a man of steel to have its shape restored.
The blacksmith in this cozy town considers my request
He mentions some misgivings, but he says he'll do his best
He says a sum of twenty-one in coinage should be fair
I empty out my pocket, finding only four are there.
A deal agreed, I stay to feed the pigs for several days
And he will fix the chalice with the sum that I am paid
For all these days I think upon the status of my home
Surely they must worry I've collapsed, no more to roam.
Upon completion of the task I set out yet again
To find the marble pillars of the castle of my kin
The chalice in my hand, its shape is glorious, restored
I heave relief to think that I should have to roam no more.
I'm watching the horizon for the castle's brilliant spire
When in the distance is a sight that swallows me with ire
My eyes tear up, my anger such as that I nearly choke
For there I see in front of me, not marble, rising smoke.
I ride up to the castle, foreign soldiers at the post
And fearing for my wife that she may now be just a ghost
I call upon the strength of ancient heroes that I know
Aeneas and Ulysses, please be with me as I go.
The en'my's flag above my head encumbers me with rage
I strike one soldier, then am stricken while I'm turned away
They throw me down upon the ground, while shouting vulgar things
They bind my hands and drag me up to see their champion king.
So in the throne room I am thrown where my king used to rule
And Aerolis stares down at me, a king both rich and cruel
He chortles at my grim condition, seeing that it's bleak
His laugh a high and raspy laugh, he thus begins to speak:
"Your people fell to fiery hell, they're there now as we speak
But now you've brought me what I need; the chalice that you keep
So tell me where it is that such a thing is wont to be
And I'll unbind your hands, perhaps, and maybe let you free."
I stared at him with fury brewing quickly in my eyes
"So thank you for your offer sir, I think I'd rather die."
I spot my bag in one guard's hand, and kick it to the ground
The chalice spills out on the floor and makes a cracking sound.
They dive at me, but now I move as if I am possessed
They catch me not before my hatred clearly is expressed
I crush the cup beneath my foot and into pieces small
This which brought such pain here must be evil, after all.
Once again they throw me down, but now my task complete
Their king steps down to me until my head is at his feet
"I'll send you to the dungeon; I'll make sure I hear your screams
For what you've done in here just now has broken all my dreams."
"Well my dreams were of home before I came back to this place"
I counter with a sneer, now satisfaction on my face
"I can't make up for what was done, and this much may be true
But for your part in what took place I'll ruin life for you."
"We'll see who gets the last laugh now!" The cruel Aerolis wails,
"So my revenge for your revenge will see you die in jail."
I could have bought a brighter fate, I could have made a deal
But I would rather die for this because of how I feel.
And thus it ends, I can't pretend to know the moral here
Because upon inspection still the outcome is unclear
Were our hero's actions just? And was he in the right?
Or shall we say he should have never acted out of spite?
So I implore you readers, that the next time you decide
Whether to take action or let burning rage subside
To think it over in your head, to calculate your loss
See if the consequences of your actions meet the cost.

On the evening of 17th of March 2015 the most awesome northern lights show that I have ever witnessed took place.
Shooting the aurora is a bit challenging but also very rewarding. On that cold night my friend and I drove just outside of my home town Grundarfjörður to shoot some aurora as the forecast was very promising to say the least. As we reached our first stop the northern lights were everywhere. It did not matter which direction we faced, the sky was filled with light in various colours. Green, red, purple, blue... It was so spectacular.
This went on as the hours passed and no matter where we moved it was always the same. Just plain awesome.
To make things even better the weather was on our side as the wind was at its minimum. Totally calm weather as we got the perfect reflection in Kolgrafafjörður fjord wich is next to Grundarfjörður fjord.
I hope you will have the chance to witness an awesome night like this in the future.
Here is a little timelapse video that I made from this beautiful scenery.

Their Story:
Graphic Tiled Street Scene comes back to life in Greenock
6274 Public Art were commissioned by Riverside Inverclyde to bring a well known street mural back to the town of
Greenock, Inverclyde.
The Mural was in place on the walls of the Westburn underpass for decades before it was taken down and replaced
by a new public artwork in November 2011.
The painted tiles depicted a street scene of Greenock in the days before the construction of the town's Oak
Mall. Shops and businesses of the towns past including Westburn House, the Regal Cafe and Sheila Simpson Wool were
all part of the artwork.
Once completed a few modern Greenock landmarks were added, including references to the Tall ships festival,
Clydeport Cranes and the soon to be constructed Beacon Theatre.
When approved, the full 23m2 mural artwork was digitally transferred onto porcelain tiles using our technique
which has been a great success in the past. The tiles were fired at 800 degrees to seal the graphic transfers into
the glaze before being laid out on the factory floor for inspection and numbering.
Once each tile was inspected they were numbered in a grid and key plans were passed over to our tilers M and M
Ceramics of Dunoon for installation.
Billy McGuinness and his team expertly installed the 6 section of the mural over a period of 10 days and
had to endure the lovely Scottish winter to complete the job.
Robert and Willy
The kind comments we have received from passers by and locals who remembered the locations depicted within the
mural have been greatly appreciated.

The Right Doctor
Nowadays the medical profession has become so far removed from the problems and struggles of the people who walk in to the hospital seeking help from the doctors. It seems as if doctors do not care quite as much about what really goes on with their patients and only seem to care about being able to bill the patients for various procedures and tests without actually putting any focus on whether the patient is receiving any help or if they are getting better.
Doctors used to be people that you could go to with a problem and they would become invested in trying to help you solve the problem. People would often have great relationships with their doctors and would frequently visit the same doctors for years on end. This sort of a culture has died down in the medical community and you are rarely ever able to find a doctor that makes the effort to put some effort in from their side as well. Well with Dr. Ian Kroes you will not have to worry about feeling any of that.
His institute of concierge healthcare, at Peninsula Doctor, believes in putting their patients first. Dr. Ian Kroes believes that to make sure patients fare better at their recovery from any procedure, tests, or operations that are conducted on them, the doctor needs to be actively involved with the problems of the patient. He believes in finding out what works best for the patient by talking with them, understanding where they are coming from, understanding what their reactions and issues are, and then suggesting different ways to move forward in. Through this method of patient – doctor relationship being the basis for any treatment, Dr. Ian Kroes has been able to have a long term relationship with most of his patients as their doctor.

Data input layout allows a person to "sign-off" on an analysis (two persons required). Signatory 1, and Signatory 2, confirm data within the record.
Once each confirms the data, a field is to be populated with their formal signatory title (based on user account record in a user table).
A report is generated and their titles/qualifications are presented in the appropriate place below where they will sign.
This works great locally, but on the server it does not. The Report_details field is not updated with the technician on the server, but it is on a local file. I'm not married to SQL, so happy to do anything that will insert the formal title when a tech signs-off (a check box).

Product Description
Woolsey Ablative Plus is an economical, yet extremely effective ablative antifouling paint. Woolsey Ablative Plus provides excellent antifouling protection without the costs associated with high end antifoulants. Its ease of use, trusted performance and attractive price tag make it an excellent choice for use as a boatyard's "house paint". Equally effective on both power and sailboats, its ablative surface wears away over time, eliminating build up, and the need for sanding between coats. Woolsey Ablative Plus can be used on most previously painted surfaces that remain in good condition, without the need to remove old coatings or paints. No special primers are required except on bare metal. One or two coats per season are recommended for optimal performance. Go to woolseypaint.com/resources for more detailed information.

Generation Shocked
Pity Generation X. The poor souls who were born between 1961 and 1981 have witnessed some of the biggest financial shocks in history.
Older Gen Xers, now fully grown with families of their own, were baptized into the world of finance by the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s. Then, after experiencing the rush of the go-go 1990s, when all seemed right with the economy and financial markets, the horror of 911 precipitated another financial crisis. It was a mere prelude to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession of 2008-'09.
It's enough to cause anyone to be shell-shocked. No wonder that many Xers are feeling financially stressed.
The economy and the markets have since found their footing over the past several years. Nevertheless, 56 percent of Gen Xers report being financially stressed, according to a 2016 financial wellness study by PwC.1 Another study by Scott Trade found that three in 10 of those in the so-called "Middle Generation" (between Millennials and Boomers) attribute their financial stress to concerns about losing their job or having lost their job.2
Meanwhile, 68 percent of Xers worry about supporting themselves if they become disabled or are unable to work, 62 percent are concerned about paying for medical expenses, and 54 percent want to make sure they do not burden others with funeral expenses, according to the 2016 Insurance Barometer Study by LIMRA.3
Mercy. No wonder why many Xers crave financial stability and security. It's an opportunity for employers focused on the financial wellness of their employees as well as the agents, brokers and advisors who serve the voluntary benefits marketplace.
Many voluntary benefits such as whole life, disability, critical illness and accident insurance are designed to help enhance the financial security of insureds and their loved ones. They may be suited to those who feel financially insecure. Like Xers.
Whole Life
The stability and permanency of whole life, for instance, provides financial protection against the premature death of a breadwinner. As long as premiums are paid on time, the policy's death benefit is guaranteed.
Whole life also offers "living benefits" that can be accessed for a myriad of financial needs – like if someone losses their job or encounters a financial shock. The cash value that grows inside a policy is guaranteed, meaning it increases each year, will never decline due to changes in the financial markets, and offers a reliable source of funds – even during economic downturns.
Disability Insurance
Disabilities from either accidents or illnesses can be a major financial challenge. Approximately 30 percent of people form ages 35-65 will suffer a disability that lasts at least 90 days, according to the Health Insurance Association of America4. Group disability insurance typically covers between 50 percent and 70 percent of an insured's salary, relieving the financial stress of losing a paycheck while recovering from a serious injury or illness. Although many employers provide short-term disability coverage, the policies are increasingly being offered on a voluntary or employee-pay-all basis. The coverage is a cornerstone of everyone's financial foundation.
Critical Illness
Meanwhile, critical illness insurance can provide an injection of additional financial support if someone suffers a heart attack, stroke or dread disease like cancer. Critical illness coverage provides a lump-sum benefit, paid directly to the employee, to help cover medical costs, mortgage payments, childcare, or even groceries.
Accident Insurance
Another source of financial stress comes from accidents. While most people don't envision themselves as being treated for an accident, emergency rooms care for more than 40 million injuries a year across the country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)5. An injury, especially one that necessitates a visit to a hospital emergency room, can quickly turn into a financial emergency, especially for those who have little or no savings.
Accident insurance typically pays a cash benefit to the insured who may face bills for medical treatment not covered by healthcare insurance deductibles and co-pays. If the injured lacks disability insurance, the cash from an accident policy can even help make up for lost wages if the insured losses time at work while recuperating.
The world is an insecure place as many Xers know all too well. Selling voluntary benefits such as whole life, critical illness, accident and disability insurance can help employers enhance their employees' financial security. Doing so can help protect against financial shocks and potentially reduce the stress felt by Xers and other generations alike.

"A new twist on non-Trinitarian ways of reading the Bible has emerged in our times. It has reached the scale of an epidemic
and requires special attention. It can be understood best, I think, as a replacement Trinity. . . . Here's how it works. It is
important to observe that in the formulation of this new Trinity that defines the self as the sovereign text for living, the Bible is
neither ignored nor banned; it holds, in fact, an honored place. But the three-personal Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is replaced
by a very individualized personal Trinity of my Holy Wants, my Holy Needs, and my Holy Feelings.â€

Die Antwoord just released the new video for "I Fink U Freeky," a week ahead of the release of TEN$ION on February 7th, 2012. By now, Die Antwoord videos should come with a big neon sign that says "WARNING!

Which is to say: this is probably NSFW, and definitely not safe for the easily squeamed.

Gorod Federal
Oleg Ganeyev, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Rus-Bank OJSC:
"Rus-Bank OJSC has been a business partner of Gorod Federal System since 2005. In due time the Bank has determined the fee-based business strategy focused on off-site technical platform for payment business management accompanied by support service and continuous development of available payment services for payers being the Bank's clients.
We decided to choose Gorod Federal System as the Bank's key partner due to its scalability, safety, technical peculiarities and comfort to operate in it from the point of view of Bank's operators who always value easy handling, functionality and fast support. Our choice of Gorod Federal System has met our expectations – during our cooperation we have implemented several large-scale projects related to payment business development and implementation of the system in all 270 Bank's offices and we also have cooperated with the System as being a Settlement Center in a number of Russia's regions. It is the System that helped us to reduce the time for servicing payers in a bank and automate all stages of payment processing from paying cash in a bank to performing clearing payments with companies being providers of services. So, we have made a correct choice and confirmed it".
Anatoliy Fedyakshin, Managing Director of Primorsky Branch of Svyaz Bank:
"Connection to Gorod Federal System shortens service time and diversifies payments accepted by regional and federal service providers that enables us to increase profitability of transactions related to acceptance and processing of utility charges".
Sergey Skrylov, Deputy Director of Federal Postal Service for the Tomsk Region of the Russian Post:
"We have deliberately chosen Gorod System as a system for acceptance payments to be our partner. As the Russian Post, Federal Postal Service, is a great network of post offices, we have defined the following requirements: federal level, security, experience in various market segments (education costs, utility charges, on-line payments).
This was a right choice. Today together with GFS we have implemented on-line projects, organized billing for the largest counterparties of the
Federal Postal Service for the Tomsk Region. Our cooperation resulted in additional profit gained by Tomsk department and reduced our costs related to the paper-and-pencil technology. GFS is a flexible technology adapting to definite tasks and it helps us to easily and quickly perform the required analysis. The

ON AIR - LMFM's Most Requested Songs
with Eamonn Duffy
Councillors have criticised the short time frame given to Louth County Council to allocate funding under this year's RAPID National Capital Grants Programme.
The local authority was only notified of the €64,500 available last month, and had just a two weeks timeline to take action.
Members of the Dundalk Municipal District deferred making a decision at their November meeting in respect of the then proposal to spend the funding on CCTV systems in RAPID designated areas in Dundalk and Drogheda.
However, at their monthly meeting last night, they were told Louth County Council's Local Community Development Committee had agreed on Monday to reccommend the almost €28,000 be spent on six community projects in their municipal district.
They include upgrading the heating system in The House in Cox's Demesne, the installation of a security system at the O'Hanlon Park Boxing Club and improving community gardens in Carlingford.
Several councillors expressed surprise that €15,000 had been allocated to groups in the Ardee Municipal District, but they were told the new programme relates to areas designated as disadvantaged under the recently published Pobal index.
Fianna Fail's Emma Coffey has criticised the short notice given to officials and the elected members.

Confused About HVAC? Here are the Maintenance Basics for Your Home's Heating, Ventilating, and Air ConditioningYou may have heard the term "HVAC" before, but you may not be entirely sure what this entails. HVAC stands for "heating, ventilation, and air conditioning." These types of systems are found in homes and other buildings, and their overall purpose is to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and improve the air quality of a space.
Many times, however, homeowners are unsure how to keep their HVAC systems in good working order. Heating and cooling equipment can require regular HVAC inspections and maintenance by a qualified licensed electrician. If you're wondering just what your central heating and cooling systems might need, however, here are some services that licensed electricians from reliable heating and cooling companies can perform for you:
- Heating systems
Your furnace is essential for heating your home during the coldest months of the year. However, it's also something that you don't want to break down when you need it most. In order to keep the heat on, get your furnace checked before the winter. It may need a cleaning or other maintenance, along with your thermostat, which may need repair or replacement.
- Ventilation
Much of the air quality in your home depends on the filters you use in your furnace and central air conditioner. Be sure to change them when the manufacturer or your HVAC technician recommend it. Your home may also benefit from having the air ducts cleaned in order to keep them free of dust, pollen, and other home allergens.
- Air conditioning
Air conditioning first rose to popularity during the Great Depression, when movie theaters offered it to bring in patrons. By 1980, however, the U.S. was consuming more air conditioning than any other country on Earth, despite only having about 5% of the world's total population. This trend has continued today, so Americans are encouraged to use efficient home cooling methods when possible.
One of these methods is to only cool your home when necessary. Conserve energy by not lowering the thermostat too much, leaving the temperature up when you're not home, and opening your windows on more temperate days. Also, just like with heating systems, getting your air conditioner inspected each year before you begin using it can ensure fewer surprises in the midsummer heat.
Have more questions about HVAC maintenance? Contact a licensed electrician who can evaluate the needs of your home.
What kind of maintenance do you perform on your home's HVAC system? Tell us in the comments.

I think Elder Houston senses when his mom needs to hear from him. He surprised us today with a handwritten letter:
Hello Family-
I just wanted to write and tell you more stuff!
We are the biggest branch on main campus! There are about 90 Korean speaking missionaries! They call the Korean branch the celestial branch here because of the type of examples in our branch. All the Presidency (President Yost; 1st Counselor Perriton; 2 Counselor Snow; and 3rd Counselor Lee) all preach about how amazing the Korean missionaries and mission is!
It is so cool & exciting! The language is hard and I feel inadequate because everybody in the Korean branch are so smart (like nerdy-genius smart) so everything moves fast and is hard to keep up! But yeah I'm learning a ton and am keeping up!
I got your package & my roomies & I were just giddy! It was like Christmas! Thank you so much! We are using the stars to decorate our room and we make cool stuff! It looks so cool & helps us relax and go to sleep! We were all so happy about those & I now I have some balls to play with too!
The spirit is awesome! "We are completed in the Lord, not perfected."
Family, I want to testify that the Lord truly atoned for our sins and whatever we have to go through is so miniscule compared to the Savior's atonement. Plead with the lord for his help, love, & comfort and he will provide. Satan is real and fills us with thoughts and feeling and during these times we must pray and plead for strength.
Joseph Smith WAS A TRUE prophet of God and lived, fought, endured, and died for this church. I know this is true and that pride was the downfall of Satan and is the downfall of man. If we can be humble toward the Lord, I know we will obtain the celestial kingdom. I love the Lord, I love Joseph Smith and I know this church is true.
Elder Houston

I suggest that to achieve real success in running, as in any worthwhile activity, we must always fear failure; we must have very real fears that the day will come when we will fail regardless of how hard we have prepared. It is that insecurity that keeps our carefully nurtured self-confidence from becoming blatant arrogance. And it is also in our ineviExercises failures that the seeds of real personal growth are sown and eventually blossom.
Running has taught me about real honesty; there is no luck in running. Results cannot be faked, and you can blame no one but yourself when things go wrong.

So running has shown me that life must be lived as self-competition and has made me appreciate what I now believe to be a very real weakness of many team and skill sports. In those sports you do not have to admit your imperfections; you can always blame someone or something else, if you so choose. Furthermore, the hereditary skill required for success in those sports can, like beauty, provide a shield to hide behind. If you are skilled or beautiful, life can be too easy. You may never need to display the humility, modesty, courage, and perseverance essential for success in individual sports like distance running.
In addition, pleasure and rewards in skill and team sports may depend on the failure and therefore unhappiness of ones opponents. Fortunately, in running this does not apply; in competition we are there to help one another. As George Sheehan (1978b, pp. 214-215; 1980, pp. 240-241) pointed out, competition means to seek out in company and contest means to testify in company with others. So the real competitions are those in which we seek out and test ourselves in company with others, in which each of us is both the source and the recipient of this communal courage. A friend who achieved immortality in a skilled team sport had to run the Comrades Marathon before he could write, You have not lived in the world of competitive sport until you have fought a battle that is not against an opponent, but against yourself (Peter Pollock, personal communication, 1982).
The runners prayer given by coach Fred Wilt to the second American ever to set a marathon world record, Buddy Edelen (Higdon, 1982), captures my friends meaning.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - The XFL, whose television ratings have resembled the ever-declining Nasdaq over the past month, finally got a sliver of good news over the weekend.
The troubled new football league got its first TV ratings bounce since its inception on Feb. 3. Nielsen Media Research said the preliminary ratings for Saturday night's telecast of the Orlando Rage's 27-15 victory over the Las Vegas Outlaws was viewed by 2.8 percent of the households on the 49 largest U.S. media markets. Among the homes in which TVs were turned on Saturday night, 5 percent watched the game.
Last week, 2.7 percent of people in the major TV markets watched NBC's XFL program.
The XFL's ratings have plunged 73 percent since the debut of the league on Feb. 3. Advertisements have portrayed the XFL as a more violent version of pro football than U.S. fans have seen from the National Football League.
The XFL has tried to capture the wide-open Saturday night timeslot. But it will face a huge challenge when the NCAA's "March Madness" basketball tournament begins next week.
For NBC, the league had been a high profile embarrassment up to this point. NBC, which paid $30 million for a 50 percent ownership percentage in the XFL, was outbid three years ago by Viacom's CBS unit VIAB, +0.00% for the rights to broadcast National Football League games. Viacom is a significant investor in CBS.MarketWatch.com.

Promising old-school fighter driven by lost gold
When he was a child growing up in Philadelphia, Jesse Hart would spend many a Saturday night in front of the television watching boxing with his father, Eugene Hart.
Eugene Hart was better known as Cyclone Hart, one of the most entertaining middleweights during the heyday of Philadelphia boxing in the 1970s. Cyclone Hart was a vicious puncher and, to this day, his left hook is regarded by experts as among the best ever.
Jesse boxed from his early days and was well-known throughout the neighborhood for boxing. When he'd meet his friends on Monday, they'd want to talk to him about the fights they'd seen on television the previous Saturday.
They'd talk about Roy Jones Jr. or Oscar De La Hoya, and sometimes even Floyd Mayweather, and Jesse would stare blankly at them in return.
[Also: Boxer's biggest opponents? Gambling, drinking and lack of discipline ]
"I didn't know who Roy Jones was; never heard of him," Jesse Hart said of the one-time pound-for-pound champion. "I hadn't seen him; I hadn't seen any of those guys."
He hadn't heard of Jones or De La Hoya or Mayweather or any of the stars of the late 90s and early 2000s because his father had him watching old-time fight tapes.
When Jones was appearing on HBO, Jesse Hart might have been watching Sandy Saddler against Willie Pep, a pair of Hall of Fame featherweights who fought four times between 1948 and 1951.
He studied tapes of Henry Armstrong and Bob Foster and many of the old-time greats, his father peppering him with tips and questions.
"My dad would ask me, 'Why does he put his left foot that way?' " Jesse Hart said. "Or, 'Why does he throw his jab that way? Why did he duck that way instead of ducking this way? Why was he punching on this angle?' And I'd ask him questions. I became like a boxing historian."
This boxing historian happens to be one of the sport's best prospects, a 24-year-old super middleweight who is 11-0 with 10 knockouts and showing every indication he's championship timber.
[Also: Champion Lamont Peterson comes out swinging against business of boxing ]
He'll fight Derrick Findley on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York and predicts dire consequences for his far more experienced opponent.
"He'll be punished, beaten badly and brutally," Hart says.
But if things had gone Hart's way, the way he believed they should have during the buildup to the 2012 Olympics in London, Hart would no longer be boxing.
He was raised by his father to be a fighter, but his sole goal during most of his life was to win the gold medal and walk away from boxing.
He was inspired by watching fellow Philadelphian David Reid win a gold medal in 1996 and set that as his life's goal.
Hart lost a spot to Terrel Gausha on the U.S. Olympic team in what is known as the reload round, when he dropped a decision he believes he should have won.
Boxers who win at the Olympic Trials used to automatically earn a berth on Team USA. But in 2012, USA Boxing decreed that Olympic Trials winners who did not place high enough in the World Championships would have to win the USA Boxing National Championships to earn a spot in one last qualifier.
Hart lost a fight he felt he'd won in the reload. He was badly hurt by it and the emotion creeps into his voice even now.
"It was a crushing, crushing, crushing blow, not only to my career but also to my life," Hart said. "Everything in my life that I wanted, that I had worked for, they took away from me. My inspiration was to win that gold medal and to be in David Reid's shoes.
"Hands down, I thought [I won that fight]. It was a sloppy fight, but I felt I edged it out. I was the hungrier fighter. I wanted it more. But it was that system. That hurt, because it was the first time they ever did that. I think that whole system was designed for me not to go. The whole thing was designed for Jesse Hart not to go to the Olympics."
His voice cracks as he speaks. Two years later, the loss still haunts him. His heart still aches.
All he thought about, all he worked for, all he wanted, was to make the U.S. Olympic team and win a gold medal.
"If I'd have gone to the Olympics, I believe I would have been a gold medalist, and if I'd been a gold medalist, we wouldn't even be talking about my pro career and me being this prospect," Hart said. "I don't think I would have turned pro. I wouldn't have turned pro if I was a gold medalist. People tell me about the money I'm going to make [as a pro], but man, it's not about the money to me. It was never about the money.
"It was about being good and solidifying my name as one of the best. If I'd have won the gold medal, I'd have accomplished my dream. There would have been no drive, no desire, no motivation to turn pro. There's a lot of animosity built up. There's a lot of emotion built up. A lot of frustration. It's spilled milk now to everybody else, but it's still in the back of my mind."
Hart's life has been difficult, even before the Olympics. He felt great pressure to perform, because his family was struggling and he felt he needed to help.
In 2010, his older brother, Damian Williams, was murdered on the street, shot during a robbery. His brother had been a major influence upon him and had urged him to stay out of trouble, to keep working hard and to not get involved with the street life.
Williams, Hart said, was no troublemaker and wasn't into guns.
"I wish and pray that he was still with me," Hart said of his brother. "I pray every night about him. I wish he was standing there at my side, but I feel him there in the ring with me, helping me get out of the way of those punches."
Hart was in Marquette, Mich., preparing for the 2012 Games under the eye of former Olympic coach Al Mitchell. His family was having problems in Philadelphia and he felt helpless.
"My family was going through a financial deficit," he said of that time period. "We was starving. We was hungry. I was up there with Al Mitchell and I couldn't get no money from back home. There were just a lot of tribulations leading up to it. I feel as though, through all I overcame, I should have gotten that gratitude and that glory of being an Olympian and becoming an Olympic gold medalist."
His father was so focused on him becoming a boxer that when Cyclone learned that Jesse was playing basketball in school, he threatened to break his legs.
Hart would show up tired at the gym. He told his father he was showing up for boxing training late because he was enrolled in an after-school program and was doing his homework, but the truth was that he'd made the basketball team and was practicing before training for boxing.
Cyclone Hart was not amused.
"My dad found out and he says, 'Basketball practice? What do you mean you're at basketball practice? You ain't no basketball player,' " Hart said, laughing. "And he got this mean old look on his face and he told me he'd break my leg if I kept playing basketball.
"That's my dad, and I don't think he was going to do it, but I didn't want to find out."
Thus ended Hart's basketball career. But basketball's loss was boxing's gain, even if Hart had never turned pro.
He's not sure where his career is going to take him, but he's certain he's going to make a name for himself.
"I was raised like an old-time boxer," Hart said. "Fighters today are pampered and pansied. When [Muhammad] Ali fought, he broke his jaw and he fought the rest of the [12] rounds. When [Victor] Ortiz broke his jaw [against Josesito Lopez], he done quit. In the old days, them guys would die in there.
"That's what I want to be. I want to be a real, serious, old-time boxer, and that's all I'm working on now."

How Do You Grow a Tree?
Last week, our children got the opportunity to watch as some workers were planting trees at the Lillie St Parkette. The children were so engrossed in this experience and sat and watched the entire time we were at the park. This week, we noticed some of the children "growing trees" in our sandbox. They have been working together to dig holes, placing braches in the ground, covering them up with "dirt and sand" and then watering them. As educators, we are theorizing that they are making connections from what they saw in our community and extending their learning by exploring this on their own. What do you think? Do you see the connection?

Just a quickie update for the day. Meditation session got postponed to next week as the lady wasn't very well sadly.
So rather than sitting on my backside feeling sorry for myself and stuffing my face with mini marshmallows convincing myself they are not as fattening as the big ones 🤨🤓 I took myself to the gym and smashed it.
I've mentioned this before how important it is sometimes to find that little bit of strength inside of yourself and be pro-active and not reactive.
During my time at The Fast Fix Clinic my two amazing friends Steve and Luke bought me a Wonder Woman duck.
Steve and Luke I left that gym tonight feeling like Wonder Woman and I now have a BIG smile on my face.
Thank you for the duck and thank you for reminding me that the power is truly within.
Love you lots

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday slammed the Congress for "manufacturing" corruption charges against the government in questioning the deal to purchase Rafale fighter jets from France.In his reply to the debate on the Budget, which was cut short by protests and ruckus, he said the Congress was trying to manufacture a scam in Rafale fighter jet purchase because it could not find corruption case in the Narendra Modi government's tenure so far."The UPA government was stigmatised because of corruption. In this government, because they could not find any corruption cases, they manufactured one," Jaitley said.He also cited a number of written replies to Parliament by Defence Ministers of the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) governments, where they had refused to quote the price in defence deals citing security concerns."When you give details of a defence transaction, you give the details and capacity of the weapon system, which you don't want to inform the enemy (about). At least 15 previous RMs including Pranab Mukherjee and A.K. Antony have refused to give details of armament purchases," he said.
This was countered by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who said the opposition did not want any details that would compromise national security and the government can just reveal the price of purchase.Jaitley however said that a breakup of the price may reveal details of the missiles and equipment that are in the deal. He also questioned if Congress President Rahul Gandhi was on the same page as Tharoor, prompting protests from opposition benches."Breakup of cost will tell what weapon systems are there in the deal. These security pacts are inherent part of these defence contracts."Secrecy is an inherent part of any deal. Congress is compromising national security by asking for details which should not be made public, that is, known to the enemy," the Minister added.Jaitley's reply was cut short by protests by Congress MPs and other opposition members, and the House was adjourned.Gandhi then took to Twitter and said Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said in November 2017 that she will reveal the price of the Rafale planes, but held in February 2018 that it was a "state secret".
Congress has alleged that there are irregularities in the deal for buying 36 Rafale fighter jets off-shelf from France, signed between the Indian and French governments. It claimed that the fighter jets are being bought from France at a price higher than what was negotiated in the previous multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) deal under which 126 fighter jets were to be bought, and included a number of fighters being assembled in India.On Wednesday, the government issued a statement calling Congress' charges "unfounded", and reiterated that all due procedures have been followed in the deal, which was done to meet the urgent requirement of fighter jets for the Indian Air Force (IAF).

The LCDT Selectronic Tattletale system is a compact fault annunciator
with an electronic alarm/shutdown control system. It was designed to
protect engine-driven or motor-driven compressors and pumps. The
annunciator indicates the sensor, and hence the parameter, that causes
an alarm or shutdown. In addition, a means is provided for testing the
operation of each sensor without initiating an alarm or shutdown.
Employing a liquid crystal display, the LCDT system gives a digital
reading of the tripped sensor and the lockout timer countdown.
As the heart of the system, the basic annunciator component has two
variations: the Model LCDT-NO, which accommodates normally open sensors,
and the Model LCDT-NC, which accommodates normally closed sensors.
These units are enclosed in an aluminum box having a brush finish. The
LCDT system accommodates 47 sensor inputs, 15 of which may be locked out
during start-up by the start/run timer delay.
A separate power supply is provided with the model LCDT instrument.
Power may be supplied by CD ignition, a 120 VAC line, or by 12 or 24 VDC
Intended for use with all Swichgage instruments without OS option.
The basic LCDT system consists of (1) the LCDT module, (2) the terminal strip and cable assembly, and (3) the power supply.
LCDT Moduledescribed on front page.
Terminal Strip and Cable AssemblyThe plug-in
type Terminal Strip has 50 screw-type connections for normally open
sensors and 100 connections for normally closed sensors. The terminal
strip can be connected to the LCDT module with the 36 in. (914 mm) long
flat ribbon cable.
Power SupplyYou have a choice of input power
supplies: LCDT-PS-CD (R)-P and LCDT-PS-CD-N for CD ignition or
LCDT-PS-120/24/12 for 120 VAC or 12 or 24 VDC. Each power supply
includes control Inputs/Outputs and an intrinsically safe barrier. They
were designed for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Group D Hazardous
Locations. FM and CSA listed.

Whether they want it or not, new municipal governments will have cannabis at the top of their agendas this fall.
That's because the provincial government is giving municipalities a limited opt-out period of allowing retail cannabis stores within their borders after legalization kicks in on October 17.
Based on information he's received from the province, François St. Amour, Warden of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell and mayor of La Nation, says municipalities that choose to opt out now may opt in later, but not the other way around.
"If we're allowed to opt in later on, that's a good option," he says. "Considering also that there is marijuana being delivered through the post."
While Prescott-Russell has two levels of municipal government, St. Amour thinks the decision will fall to lower-tier councils.
Asked if he's leaning one way or the other, St. Amour says he'd wait.
"People aren't telling us what they want to do. It's still nebulous. Nobody knows that much. Is there a need for local cannabis stores? Maybe," he says.
He reaffirmed an approval for its medical use, but he's not so sure about cannabis for fun and "other effects it brings." He mentioned driving while impaired (police are going through special training to recognize and monitor this possibility); addiction issues and the tired, worn-out idea that cannabis is a gateway drug. And he's not the only local mayor to reiterate the cliché.
Need for consistency
Since Prescott-Russell is made up of eight lower-tier municipalities, enforcement could become an issue if some opt-out of allowing private retailers.
Franca Campisi, detachment commander of Hawkesbury OPP, says the police body has an ongoing working group with province to help create legislation.
She says she was a little surprised by the privatization announcement, but the focus is really on legislation.
Campisi's detachment covers the region from East Hawkesbury to Alfred-Plantagenet, with Russell OPP covering the rest of Prescott-Russell.
"I think the mayors need to have a discussion on what they want to do," says Campisi. "Ultimately, it's their decision but I think consistency is important too."
Tight deadline
Asked about priorities with less than two months away from legalization, Campisi says the courts are a big one.
While officers are going through special training for impaired driving, it still isn't clear if an officer's testimony will be valued in court.
In a related issue, if someone is growing plants at home—the feds put in a four-plant-one-meter-high limit—and they end up in court with their plants being held by police. Campisi says detachment will need resources to keep those plants alive since depending on the legal procedure they could be returned to their owner.
Suffice to say it's crunch time for weed legislation.
Provincial help
Ontario is planning to have online recreational cannabis sales ready to go for October 17 through the Ontario Cannabis Store. Afterwards, it'll launch consultation and the opt out period to have everything ready to go for the private sale by April 1 next year.
During the privatization announcement from a couple of weeks ago, Finance Minister Vic Fedeli also said the province would put up $40 million to help municipalities with legalization costs over two years. With 444 municipalities in the province, that's only $45,000 each per year (assuming they all allow private retail stores).

This project focuses mainly in developing high-carotene cultivars which will ultimately contribute to alleviating the chronic deficiency of vitamin A in many regions of the world. Because of the relevance of vitamin A deficiency in Africa, the efforts target that region of the world. The project has allowed for a very productive interaction and collaboration with our sister institution International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) based in Nigeria. CIAT is taking advantage of the large genetic variability available to its breeding cassava project to generate high-carotene germplasm. The project has also allowed close and productive interaction with EMBRAPA-CNPMF in Brazil.

New dawn for Tower of the Sun
The Yomiuri Shimbun People tour the inside of the Tower of the Sun (right) in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, on Monday, the first day that members of the public could enter its interior. Monday morning saw about 300 people visit the structure, which was recently restored to its original condition from the Expo '70 world's fair in Osaka. Now located in the Expo '70 Commemorative Park, the tower is one of artist Taro Okamoto's most iconic creations. Its interior was closed to the public after the expo due to concerns over its ability to withstand earthquakes. The Osaka prefectural government began work to reinforce the tower in autumn 2016.Speech
