Fiscal Year 2019 Budget
Beginning July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019
Housing a changing City - Boston 2030
In 2014, Mayor Walsh released Housing a Changing City - Boston 2030, the Administration's comprehensive plan to accommodate Boston's rapid growth and stabilize the housing market over the next 15 years.
Contact the Budget Office:
Creating and Preserving Affordable Housing for All Income Levels
More than 26,000 new housing units have already been completed or are currently in construction, and another 26,000 are under review. This represents 98 percent of the City's 53,000-unit target for 2030.
Next year, the Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) will double its down payment assistance program to $1 million, allowing dozens of middle class families to access zero-interest loans to cover down payments. This $500,000 increase will promote homeownership among moderate and middle income homebuyers in Boston.
DND will also leverage non-operating budget revenue sources, such as Inclusionary Development Program funds and Linkage funds administered through the Neighborhood Housing Trust. DND will use these revenue sources to continue the Acquisition Opportunity Program and Neighborhood Homes Initiative, which are creating more affordable rental and homeownership opportunities in Boston.
Preventing Displacement and Preserving Tenancy
As Boston grows, it is important that it grows equitably and prevents the displacement of long term residents. In FY17, Mayor Walsh created the Office of Housing Stability to support renters in housing crisis, preserve tenancy, and prevent displacement. The FY19 budget expands the capacity and effectiveness of that office with new investments:
- $150,000 for flexible financial assistance for low and moderate income households facing a housing crisis.
- $125,000 for expanded legal representation and stabilization services for renters facing eviction.
- Funding for an additional case manager to support renters facing housing crisis and provide information to tenants and landlords about their rights and responsibilities.
- $35,000 increase for the Emergency Housing Assistance Program to assist residents displaced by fire, condemnation, natural disaster and other events.
- Additional staff at the Elderly Commission to support tenant or home-owning seniors who face issues including foreclosures, evictions, or utility problems.
Implementing Boston's Homeless Action Plan
With the 2015 publication of Boston's Way Home, the City's plan to end chronic and veteran homelessness, Mayor Walsh reinforced the City's commitment to the most vulnerable populations in our community. Boston's Way Home calls for a single, integrated homeless system, which will not only quickly move homeless individuals from Boston's streets and shelters into permanent housing, but also provide them the support they need to remain stable.
As part of the Boston's Way Home initiative, Boston has housed over 900 homeless veterans since July 2014, and put an end to chronic veteran homelessness in Boston. In addition, since January of 2016, Boston and our partners have housed over 480 chronically homeless individuals.
Mayor Walsh also announced the creation of the Boston's Way Home fund in 2018. This fund will raise $10 million in private donations over the course of four years to create 200 new units of supportive, sustainable, long-term housing for chronically homeless men and women. As of March 2018, the fund had already received over $3 million in contributions.

Keenan Allen, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Why Breakout Age is the Skeleton Key
Get a free NFL subscription for 3 days.
This spring RotoViz will roll out a book tentatively entitled Fantasy Football Cheat Codes. It may seem like there's too much football information out there these days to ever reprise the perpetual magic of up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a … but we still live very much in a pre-Moneyball world as far as the NFL is concerned. It's a bit of an upset that we find ourselves here nearly a decade after excellent sites like Football Outsiders and Advanced NFL Stats began proselytizing the masses, but an odd thing happened on the way to statistical nirvana. While the internet brought sabermetrics to the casual baseball fan, it brought "tape grinding" to the armchair quarterback. Inspiring a cottage industry of amateur draftniks, the NFL Draft quickly became an event. The cottage morphed into a sprawling metropolis. Regardless of your take on the scouts-versus-analysts debate, this is unequivocally a good thing. It's a good thing because what's good for football is good for anybody who loves football, and that's all of us. It's also a good thing because the emphasis on tape study appears to be fueling inefficiencies that would otherwise close. As a fantasy player, you can take advantage. Last week, I proposed three components to wide receiver evaluation that are something akin to discovering a football Holy Grail (let me emphasize that I didn't stumble across any of these elements on my own but merely compiled some info and built on the truly innovative work of people like Jon Moore, Chad Parsons, and the Fantasy Douche). Earlier this week, I looked at the top members of the 2014 draft class* and offered some very preliminary analysis suggesting the class was going to be improperly valued barring a huge turnaround in sentiment. I also proposed a conjecture: If age at draft time matters, then age at breakout probably matters too. For this article, I decided to look at this issue using the same 136-player sample from the holy grail column. I scoured the hits and misses to find out how old each player was when they "broke out." Regular RotoViz readers are probably familiar with the Dominator Rating, our term for a player's market share of his team's receiving offense. In order to qualify as a "breakout," my criterion was that the receiver needed a 0.30 Dominator Rating (average of market share touchdowns and market share yards). The results were just as striking as those in the original column, and I believe answer the question fairly definitively. In other words, a skeleton key.

Despite the fact that Valentine's Day is almost exactly 6 months away, I thought it might be interesting to give a few thoughts on how astrology deals with that most interesting of topics – relationships.
Most books on relationships – or love astrology, as it's often described – begin and end with Sun signs, but that's not really the best place to start. While the Sun sign can say something about a person, consider the other six planets strictly in terms of relationships:
Moon: emotion
Mercury: communication
Venus: relation
Mars: action
Jupiter: expansion
Saturn: structure
If we only take those basic words and apply them to our partners, it's immediately clear that there is plenty of opportunity for friction and miscommunication. A person who feels strong, passionate emotions (Moon in Aries, for instance) may get frustrated in combination with someone whose need or tendency is to be analytic (Moon or Mercury in Virgo, as an example) in regards to emotions. When you consider all the possible combinations of the planets in the twelve signs, it's no wonder problems arise.
But planets are not the only way astrology approaches relationships. It appears, and even psychologists are giving a lot more attention to this, that temperament has a lot to do with our interaction with the world and others. The easiest way to begin grasping temperament is to think of it as our inherent nature. In other words, we're born with it; it is the cloth from which we're cut.
Looking at the elements in astrology can give us a clue to temperament. In the list below, the words in paranthesis refer to the older Greek descriptions:
Fire (choleric) – strong willed, impatient, reactive
Earth (melancholic) – deliberate, analytic, patient, reserved
Air (sanguine) – cheerful, extroverted, even-tempered
Water (phlegmatic) – receptive, resistant, self-contented
Looking at the above list (which is by no means exhaustive), we can see that a person who is primarily choleric may have inherent communication problems with someone who is melancholic. When impatience meets deliberation somebody is bound to become frustrated.
Fortunately, we don't often meet pure temperament types in the world; most people have a primary temperament and a secondary temperament. This is less confusing than it sounds. We all know people who seem to have limitless patience but then suddenly explode in anger: melancholic/choleric.
Back to astrology, the idea of temperament can play a strong role in relationships. Very often, people seek a partner who complements or balances them. Someone who is chronically impatient may very well need to be with a person who is more deliberate in their nature. To understand how these dynamics work, we look at the charts. At the end of the day, the fact is that we are all complicated individuals – why would our relationships not be complicated as well?

'Love Island' couple Jess Shears and Dom Lever have revealed they're planning to take their romance to the next level.
The two fell for one another pretty quickly in the villa, and despite having only known each other for a month, they've now revealed plans to move in together.
In a joint interview on 'Aftersun', Jess and Dom confirmed to Caroline Flack that they have made things official since being in the outside world and the presenter quizzed them on how things will work in the future, given that Jess lives in Devon while Dom resides in Manchester.
Dom then admitted that they were looking for a place, but when Caroline suggested things were moving awfully quickly for two people who'd only known each other a matter of weeks, he was quick to put her mind at ease.
Dom explained: "We're going to buy in Manchester and rent in London… We need bases."
The two have now got things back on track, after their relationship was briefly rocked by speculation that she'd slept with fellow contestant Mike Thalassitis shortly after leaving the villa.
Both Jess and Mike vehemently denied the rumours on multiple occasions, with Dom saying in Sunday's (9 July) 'Aftersun' that he was willing to give them "the benefit of the doubt" and move forward.
Dom and Jess were one of the first couples to seal the deal in the 'Love Island' villa, and it's since been revealed that they actually had sex a lot more times than viewers were let in on.
This is because producers are thought to be deliberately trying to tone down the show's x-rated content, in a bid to stop people tuning in for all the wrong reasons.

Wednesday night TASCHEN Copenhagen joined in the busy celebrations of the opening of the Copenhagen Fashion Week with a Pop up Gallery and a book signing event. Together with my dear old colleague Wendy Plovmand and I did the booksigning of Illustration Now! Portraits from Taschen, where we both are handpicked to participate.
We both displayed our colourful and edgy prints using a mixture of flowers, animals, patterns and a play with words. Not only did we both exhibit our framed prints but we also gave a taste of how we both use other materials, I with my plates, t-shirts and bags and Wendy with her delicate silk scarves.
Around 100 curious customers of all ages popped in to see what was going on, enjoying a cooling drink whilst browsing around the shop/pop up gallery to meet and to talk to us and getting their copy of Illustration Now! Portraits signed.
The next week you can see our work displayed in the Taschen Store in Copenhagen.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- BP PLC BP, +0.40% said Friday it would welcome Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg taking a non-executive position at Swedish truck maker Volvo AB (VOLV-B.SK), a move that the U.K. energy giant said would show he is in demand as an international business leader.
Swedish media reported late Thursday that shareholders want Svanberg to become the truck maker's next chairman, to replace Louis Schweitzer who is about to retire.
"Our chairman is completely committed to BP," a BP spokeswoman said. "He is an international business leader and if he decided to take this role, it would he is in demand from other significant international companies for his business experience and leadership."
The spokeswoman said the commitments of a non-executive director allowed sufficient time to take on other roles, and said BP actively welcomed the opportunity for Svanberg to widen his knowledge in other industries.
"We fully support our chairman and non-executives having external roles. It expands the breadth of experience and knowledge they can bring to BP," she said.

Worst experience ever
This was the worst dentist office I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. They were rude, unprofessional, and inconsiderate of my child's needs and health. He has two back teeth that are decayed and it took two weeks just to get into the office and for that two weeks he has had a hard time eating and is constantly crying from the pain. They took his xrays and did an exam but did not apply a filling or address the decayed teeth at all during the visit so when his appointment was over and I was called to the back to speak with the dentist I expressed my concerns and was treated like I was ignorant. The dentist said"what do you want me to do? Hold him down and pull the teeth out?" First off that is not what I was asking at all. I was just trying to find out how much longer my child has to suffer before they can fix the teeth. At this point I was one heated momma and expressed how unhappy I was with the services they were providing. I then asked the administrative assistant how long it would take to get my child in to have the teeth filled and she sent me in another office by her desk to speak with someone else. I entered the room and for five minutes the lady didn't look up from her paperwork even once to acknowledge me. I then walked out. As I was driving home I called the dentist office and without giving my name initially asked what their office procedures were for someone who has been in pain from a decayed tooth and was told that they will treat people for emergency tooth procedures only occasionally. Then when she asked for my name I told her and she put me on hold and transferred me to someone else who told me due to my lack of respect for the office and staff my child could not be seen there anymore. My lack of respect for this office merely came from my experience there today. If they would of explained their procedures better instead of treating me like I was ignorant and being disrespectful towards me I wouldn't of been put in a posotion to be unhappy and be complaining.

Cyber Liability in Cleveland Ohio
If you've followed our blog for any length of time, you know that we try to give you as much relevant content as possible. We cover topics that could affect you in your personal life as well as your work environment. There is nothing more relevant right now than Cyber Liability and the risks that are associated with the internet and the flow of information that occurs there. Whether it be personal images or messages you don't want shared, personal financial information, or information regarding your business that could be devastating in the wrong hands. There are a ton of positives that come from the ability to trade information instantly, but those positives have risks associated with them as well. We titled this article, Cleveland cyber liability, not because the threat it greater in the Cleveland area, but because that's where we live and work and you are the people that we most want to inform when it comes to keeping yourself and your business safe while working online.
If you do live in the Cleveland area, or just Ohio in general (if not, you can continue reading, don't worry) and you want to know more about how you can better protect yourself online, you can check out our previous post that is titled, Your Online Privacy is for Sale, How can you Protect It?, or you can check out the tips that we've pulled from that article and posted below. To read the full article you can simply click the name of the article above.
How can you better protect yourself online?
Use HTTPS Everywhere
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's HTTPS Everywhere browser extension is one of the first things you should install. This extension requires that all website connections to your browser occur using SSL/TLS encryption. That means the content of what you're viewing will be protected from passive collection by your ISP. The only time the extension won't force HTTPS is when the site you're connecting to doesn't support the protocol.
It's a great little extension that starts working as soon as you install it. What it doesn't do, however, is stop your ISP from seeing which sites you visit. Only the contents of your communication are protected. So your ISP will know you visited YouTube, but not what you watched while you were there, or the specific pages you visited.
HTTPS Everywhere is available for Firefox (desktop and Android), Chrome, and Opera.
Get a paid virtual private network
Your next step is to subscribe to a paid virtual private network service—not a free one that collects your data and sells it to third parties for analytics, or uses ads to support its free service, because that would negate the entire point of all this. You want a VPN that you pay to keep your data private. This should cost somewhere around $40 to $60 per year.
A VPN is like an encrypted tunnel between you and the Internet. You connect directly to your VPN (a connection your ISP will see) and then all Internet browsing goes through the VPN's servers and blocks third parties from snooping. Once you've picked and configured a VPN, set it to start up automatically and funnel all your Internet traffic through there.
Choosing a VPN is a bit of a tricky business since you want a provider that collects and stores a minimum amount of data about your browsing. Freedome VPN pledges not to log your traffic and is run by F-Secure, an established and reputable name in Internet security. Some VPN providers offer helpful extra features, such as an Internet kill switch that immediately shuts off your PC's Internet access when your VPN gets disconnected.
Coming out on top means being the best prepared. Watch this video to learn how Intel® processor-powered computers with Windows* 10 Pro can give your business the edge it needs.
You also want your VPN to protect against DNS leaks, which is a problem we'll get to next.
Adjust your DNS
The Domain Name System is how your computer translates a human readable website name, such as NYTimes.com, into a machine-friendly numerical Internet Protocol address. It's like the telephone book of the Internet.
The problem is that your PC is usually configured to use your ISP's DNS, which means your ISP sees all your browser requests. VPNs typically configure your PC to use their DNS, and there is usually a DNS leak protection feature that makes sure your PC doesn't ignore the VPN and use your default DNS settings.
Nevertheless, to be doubly sure you're not using your ISP's DNS, it's a good idea to set your PC to use a third-party DNS provider such as OpenDNS. We have a tutorial from 2011 on how to change your DNS settings in Windows 7. It works pretty much the same way in Windows 10.
Now you're off to a good start for protecting your data from a snooping ISP. It's not fool-proof, but you've taken a number of important steps. Once you're set up, consult IPLeak.net and DNS Leak Test (use the extended test for the latter) to make sure you're not revealing any data that you don't want to reveal. We would like to thank pcworld.com for the content and tips via their website, they have some great tips beyond what we've shared today so feel free to check them out.
Is Cyber Liability Insurance an option for you?
In our previous article, Cyber Liability for your Ohio Business, we discussed cyber liability insurance and how it can help you if you own a business. Below is a quite snippet from that post that covers the areas where it may be able to help you. We had the experts at Grange Insurance (one of our trusted carriers) help weigh in on this topic cyber liability insurance.
"Data Breach: A data breach is a security failure where sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by someone who is not authorized to do so.
It can be as high-tech as a hacker cracking a complex encrypted system or as simple as an employee losing a smartphone. And it happens more often than you can imagine. More than 1 billion personal information records were stolen in 2014 alone.
Losing your customers' data can quickly become expensive. In 2015, the average cost paid for each lost or stolen record containing confidential information was $154, and there can be severe penalties for losing credit card data, along with the costs of forensic investigations, credit card reissuance and fraud. But maybe the biggest cost is the loss of your customers' trust if you aren't covered by insurance or prepared to remedy the situation.
Third Party Data: Whether it's your company handling someone else's data or a vendor that handles your sensitive information, you must make sure you're protected.
Even if you've entrusted someone else or another company to keep your data safe, cyber coverage can cover you if that information is ever lost or stolen.
Extortion & Ransomware: Hackers who target small businesses will sometimes install malware on your system or devices, then demand payment to remove it. With cyber coverage, your business can be protected against this kind of threat.
Cyber coverage is rapidly evolving and determining your risk and needs is essential. The best way to find what fits your business is to speak with an independent agent. Your agent will review your business exposure, different coverage options and make the best policy recommendation for you."

This cafe has a special place in our
hearts err tummies. Really. We love Blue Pumpkin (FB page) not only because its delicious but its a homegrown Cambodia brand! We like supporting 'Made in Cambodia' so yes, we often visit this place. From its simple beginnings in Siem Reap, Blue Pumpkin now has shops in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.
What I love about the place is the very comfy seating and modern vibe. While this place is basically a bakery, ice cream and coffee place, they also have lunch and dinner offerings on their menu.
Kids LOVE this place. Perhaps its because of the ice cream? The fruit shakes? My daughter keeps going back there for the ice cream and the pasta.
Don't get me started on the fruit shakes. They have my favorite fruit shakes here in the Kingdom. Delicious and the servings are HUGE.
Mango or chocolate shake are highly recommended.
And my favorite on their menu? Always this..
Avocado and tuna sandwich. Just so you know, I like anything with avocado but this is just exceptionally good.
If you're in Phnom Penh, check out the Blue Pumpkin, the have branches in St. 57 and along Riverside.

For a play about the desire for human connection, "The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence" struggles curiously to form one with an audience.
Madeleine George's 2013 piece, a Pulitzer prize finalist, boasts a clever premise and wrestles with vexing questions about whether perfection (either in flesh-and-blood people or mechanical imitations) is really such a desirable trait.
At Moxie Theatre, which is staging the play's West Coast premiere, "Watson" also benefits from solid acting, as well as direction (by Moxie artistic chief Delicia Turner Sonnenberg) that teases out the piece's substantial humor.
Still, there are long stretches when this idea-filled work, which delves into such of-the-moment topics as artificial intelligence and the alienating qualities of technology, is like a theatrical spin on a Ted Talk.
(Emphasis on "Talk," because "Watson" can get very wordy.)
"The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence"
When: 7 p.m. Thursdays; 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Through Dec. 6.
Where: Moxie Theatre, 6663 El Cajon Blvd., Rolando District
Tickets: $30 (discounts available)
Phone: (858) 598-7620
Online: moxietheatre.com
It's disappointing because George clearly has keen insights to share, and has gone with a bold and promising structure for the piece.
It turns out there are four Watsons in the story, spread across three eras and all played adeptly by Justin Lang.
Two reside in modern times: A newly minted prototype of a "companion" robot, who is a kind of rival to the real-life IBM "Watson" supercomputer that made a splash on TV's "Jeopardy" a few years ago; and a tech guy named Josh Watson who works for an unnamed retailer's "Dweeb Team." (Hi, Best Buy!)
Eliza (versatile Moxie co-founder Jo Anne Glover, in a sympathetic and strong performance) is the robot's inventor; an ex-IBM scientist, she now runs a startup with the aggressive handle Digital Fist. She's also being hounded by a possessive and paranoid ex-husband and aspiring politician, Merrick (the funny and frenetic Eddie Yaroch).
When Eliza meets Josh, who's been hired by Merrick to tail her, the two almost instantly launch into an affair, although Eliza is haunted by an eerie feeling that Josh knows her more intimately than is humanly possible. (The fact she doesn't seem to recognize that he looks precisely like her own creation is something we just have to go with, like all those thinly disguised figures who are always fooling the rubes in Shakespeare's plays.)
As the action rewinds to the 19th century, the story's Watson becomes the familiar Sherlock Holmes sidekick —this time spying on an inventor named Merrick who has come up with a mysterious mechanical device to substitute for his wife, Eliza.
And one more Watson appears: The assistant to Alexander Graham Bell who was famously on hand for the birth of the telephone in 1876. (This Watson speaks of his bond with Bell in oddly sexual terms as he caresses the invention while prepping to appear on a 1930s radio show hosted by another Eliza.)
A constant in all this is the trouble that arises when people expect those close to them to behave with the reassuring predictability of machines, while failing to consider that perhaps the essence of humanity is in the messiness of emotion and the spark of original thought.
While those thematic gears don't always click in the text, Jerry Sonnenberg's set for Moxie (dominated by its own impressive set of outsized, interlocking gears) does convey a good sense of the clash between the intimate and the industrial. And Desiree Hatfield-Buckley's costumes, Christopher Renda's lighting and David Scott's sound are all well-calibrated for the show's leaps among time periods and settings.
As hit-and-miss as it might be, "Watson" still unspools with considerable intelligence and some highly neuron-stirring ideas.Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

ISO 15189:2012 specifies requirements for quality and competence in medical laboratories.
ISO 15189:2012 can be used by medical laboratories in developing their quality management systems and assessing their own competence. It can also be used for confirming or recognizing the competence of medical laboratories by laboratory customers, regulating authorities and accreditation bodies.
Definition of Medical laboratory – Laboratory for the biological, microbiological, immunological, chemical, immunohaematological, hematological, biophysical, cytological, pathological or other examination of materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease in, or assessment of the health of, human beings, and which may provide a consultant advisory service covering all aspects of laboratory investigations including interpretations of results and advice on further appropriate investigations.
The following are the basic requirements for ISO 15189 certification/accreditation:
- A well documented procedure analysis by the laboratories.
- Training manual provided by the laboratories.
- ISO 15189 requires an effective detailed analysis of medical laboratory procedures in a bid to make sure that all weaknesses have been identified.
- Detailed evaluation reports of the existing quality management system as well as other monitoring and evaluation reports.

The State of Montana is experiencing a severe foster parent shortage. There are only 26 therapeutic foster homes in the state, yet there are 20 children every month coming into the system needing a home. This lack of foster homes is concerning as there are children in great need of a stable, safe, loving environment. Sadly, there are fewer foster homes rather than more, as the number of foster children increases. Currently there are over 2,700 children in foster care in the State of Montana. Youth Dynamics is available to help potential foster parents navigate the process of becoming licensed. With the great need in Montana, it is hoped that more individuals and couples will step forward to help these children in need.

SekChek's Local range of products caters for situations where Scan data cannot be sent off-site for analysis or Scan software cannot be executed directly on the target host. Local overcomes these concerns by scanning servers from any network PC, and then processing scan data locally using a special electronic Access Token.
Since its launch, client feedback on the Local tool has been positive and users have noted several other benefits, including:
Reduced turnaround times (reports can be viewed within 30 minutes of running a Scan);
The ability to analyse multiple Servers in one Scan;
Simplicity, ease-of-use; and
Reduced cost (Servers can be analysed from US$80 per system).
Please take a moment to view a Comparison of Features: SekChek Classic & Local products
Version 1.2.5 of the product was released earlier this month. Recent enhancements include:
The ability to analyse any Server or Domain from a single point on the network.
The addition of Security benchmarking features that compare your system policy settings against real-life industry averages and leading practices for security. We define leading practice as the standard adopted by the top 15% of organisationsCurrent and dynamic statistics records - extracted from SekChek's unique database of several million security metrics - are embedded in your Access Token and used to benchmark your policies against real-life security practices These unique Benchmark comparisons are one of the reasons why security controls for regular users of SekChek consistently feature amongst those in the top 20% of organisations we review.
The ability to query all Domain Controllers to get accurate last logon times for users. This feature is necessary because Windows does not replicate Users' last logon times across Domain Controllers.
New summary reports that: analyse security permissions and auditing defined on root directories; report on mounted disk volumes; and highlight user accounts that have been recently changed or created.
Let us know how the Local products have helped you and what additional features you would like to see in future versions.
A tool that analyses security controls in SQL databases is currently going through final trials. Let us know if you are interested in trying this new product.

Give the Gift of a Changed Life
Your gift on behalf of a friend or family member means that someone who has sustained a serious injury through a landmine accident will receive vital survivor assistance aid.
$50 will purchase a prosthetic limb
$100 will help a landmine survivor to walk again
People injured by landmines not only require immediate first aid and hospital care, but also physical rehabilitation, psychological counselling, social and economic reintegration into society, and protection of their rights as disabled persons. Often survivors must be fitted with a prosthetic or artificial limb. These must be changed every 3-5 years for an adult and every 6 months for a child.
Survivor assistance includes:
- First aid at the time of the accident: this is crucial in determining whether the injured person will survive at all and how successfully his or her injuries can be treated.
- Surgery: in most cases a survivor will need an amputation, but also other types of surgery and treatment of loss of sight.
- Fitting of prostheses and orthoses: a child will require a new prosthesis every 6 months, an adult every 3-5 years; all prostheses require servicing and frequent refitting of the socket to ensure that they are comfortable and can be used.
- Rehabilitation: the amputee needs to learn how to use his/her artificial limb and constantly train muscles to deal with the new body balance.
- Counselling: many survivors of landmine explosions need help in dealing with the trauma of the accident, as well as with the social exclusion and ostracism that disabled persons often have to deal with, particularly in some of the less developed countries.
- Reintegration into society: retraining in a new profession that the landmine survivor can carry out despite his or her disability will help to gain a place as a useful member of society, increase self-esteem, and also generate much-needed income.
- Economic assistance: to provide the means of starting a new way of generating income, paying for necessary treatment, or sustaining the family.
- Disability rights: to ensure that disabled persons have the same rights as able-bodied persons, something which is far from a reality in many countries.

With the change in weather comes a change in wine choices. For the most part, I tend to be attracted to a fruity, smooth red regardless of the circumstances. However, when the weather starts getting warmer and the grilled chicken and veggies come out, it's Chardonnay that grabs my attention. I have had the opportunity to try some amazing Chardonnay's this week. About a month ago, I purchased the Green Eyes Chardonnay from the Livermore Grocery Outlet upon the recommendation of one of the owners. Being that I am really picky about whites in general, I took it with a *grain of salt*. I loved the price and decided it was worth a shot. Tonight, as I celebrate the final day of the 2010 tax season, my family and I grabbed some pasta and salad from Strings in Livermore. We brought it home and had a movie night. Instead of grabbing a bottle of red wine to open, we chose the Green Eyes Chardonnay since we were consuming chicken and alfredo sauce. Wow – I was really surprised at how good this was! It is a 2008 Chardonnay cellared and bottled by the San Joaquin Wine Company in Madera, CA. The label describes it as "offering bountiful notes of sweet pear, green apple, summertime melons, and a touch of tropical fruit". I would say it's that and much more. There is also a hint of oak at the finish. A very well balanced chardonnay. Although I do not recall the exact price, I believe it was either $3.99 or $4.99. If the Livermore GO still has some, it is definitely one to try.
Cheers to summertime, BBQ and Chardonnay!

Balancing Paradoxes and Paradigms
Paradox – impossibility, enigma, puzzle, contradiction, irony
Paradigm – example, model, patter, archetype, standard
The concept of this work is based on the abovementioned definitions. As we go through our own paths we must somehow find a sense of equilibrium in managing the supposed unattainable and the norm. It also takes into consideration two perspectives. From the eyes of the child, everything is play. With imagination, things are doable, viable and fun. As the owners of the street, I wanted them to see themselves in the mural. Having the kids participate in the creative process will hopefully give them ownership of the final output.
On the other hand, adults tend to forget these child-like moments of exuberance and excitement. We must not. Let us reflect on the times when we ourselves felt much enthusiasm and looked forward to the possibilities that the next day had to offer (as the kids showed me while I was working).
The mural also intends to symbolize the many directions and options we can, should and do take. At the end of the day, it is a matter of choice. On the off chance that it ends up not to our liking, there are other avenues. Like children who have resilience and adaptability… we learn, we adjust and we move on.

Director: Shashank Khaitan
Cast: Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sahil Vaid
Wow! Badrinath Ki Dulhania is full of heart and guts. It has effectively managed to show us the mirror of our flawed marriage system and the shameful discrimination we exhibit between a man and a woman. What's more important is that Shashank Khaitan has conveyed that message with a touch of entertainment so that it reaches the wider audience.
I don't enjoy most of the love stories due to their typical and stale approach in storytelling and that's why I enjoyed Badrinath Ki Dulhania because it has relatable narrative and it covers the comprehensive story of Badri, Vaidehi and their families in a matured way. Badri (Varun Dhawan) is a son of a wealthy businessman. He falls in love with Vaidehi (Alia Bhatt) during a wedding function and decides to marry her but Vaidehi is an ambitious girl.
As the story matures, we get to see the treatment of men towards women in their families and how dowry has been considered a birth right even in today's times in Indian families. Shashank Khaitan (writer and director) doesn't just talk about Badri-Vaidehi's love story but covers the families, discrimination and the problems women have to face in this male dominated family system.
The character writing and inclusion of each of them at the right time made the film flow naturally. Khaitan has carefully developed Badri's character that is from Jhansi and has that accent. His fun nature, careless and innocent love for Vaidehi works really well. Vaidehi is shown rightfully smart and bold. The trump card the director has perfectly used is Badri's friend Somdev (Sahil Vaid). You will thoroughly enjoy his presence and his fights and silly punches that give the film a humoured vibe constantly. Like I said, the director intends to portray the reality but he also entertains enough to make it a worthwhile lesson while having a good time.
Image Source: Dharma Productions
The film wonderfully shows different phases that every love story experiences such as initial flirting, matured understanding, fun associated with it, tragedies of heartbreak and eventual understanding of each other for who they really are and respecting their existence. In a modern world, men and women work and strive to achieve their dreams. There should be equal treatment to both the sexes as they are free to choose their life goals and that's what Badrinath Ki Dulhania tells you essentially.
The screenplay brightens the film. Heavy in UP accent, every conversation between Badri and Vaidehi is precisely impressive. Badri's constant love proposals to Vaidehi, her outsmarting him with intelligent questions are amusing. The highlight of the screenplay is also Badri-Somdev's friendship. Their fights, teasing one another and insulting even in the face of difficulties will make you respect their friendship. Shashank Khaitan's storytelling in the phase where Badri realizes Vaidehi's bravery to do something for her and to have a strong future is brilliantly told. The locations of Jhansi and Kota give an authentic feel to the movie and make you connect with the narrative.
This is a Varun Dhawan film all the way. He is getting matured as an actor. From carrying that UP accent to perfectly delivering the role of a guy who passionately loves and understands his woman, Varun shines with great cinematic colors. His punches are hilarious when he is with his friend; his romance and conversation with Vaidehi are engaging. There are different shades we witness of him in the film. From a genuinely careless guy to his transformation into the person who endures the pain and stands for what his right, Varun excels completely.
Alia Bhatt is as always an excellent actress. She looks bold and smart who wants to achieve her dreams. She complements Varun in every situation with her funny as well serious acting. The scene in a bus where she hilariously outtalks Varun by asking him about the 'Compound Interest' is an example of her fine talent. Sahil Vaid as Somdev has to be one of the best friend characters in recent times. There are so many amazing dialogues written for him and he delivers them with equal passion. He is always there for his friend even when he hits him, insults him and Sahil takes the movie to a higher notch with his honest and funny portrayal.
Badrinath Ki Dulhania is an effective movie which narrates the love story as well as shows the major flaws in our marriage system. Even in today's times, our wrong attitude towards women and their existence is bravely told by Shashank Khaitan. It goes beyond the typical love drama and gives you valuable insights. Don't miss it.

If you need your visualizations to materialize rapidly, I encourage you to seek out Carole Doré. Angel David Nieves is an Associate Professor at Hamilton College, Clinton, N.Y. and is Director of the American Studies and Cinema & Media Research Programs there. Immigration regulation and nationality regulation concern the rights of foreigners to reside and work in a nation-state that's not their very own and to accumulate or lose citizenship Both additionally contain the right of asylum and the issue of stateless individuals. Well, whenever you had been buying a lot of pizzas each hour, the restaurant had to make a bunch of them (increase supply) to be able to keep up together with your demand.

An digital tablet, which can be utilized to assist with faculty homework, or just to attract on. As an example, while the kid is practising writing their letters on their tablet, you could be writing examples of the appropriate strategy to be doing it on yours, with each images showing up onscreen. If the intern's school gives academic credit score for internships, we'll work with the intern to fulfill his or her college's requirements. If it is the latter, as Poulantzas argues (I think convincingly), then this crucial link in the grammar of regulation is established by the use of an impact of isolation which has roots in the atomization of productive brokers within the capitalist division of labour, and is iterated at a juridico-political stage by the capitalist state. As every knob melts, your wish is absorbed into the energy of the candle and turns into one with the vitality of the doll.
I think the very best train you can do is just to maintain beliving and then simply neglect about it. In other phrases, do not let yourself get in the way of the law of attraction working. So, in different words, if you die, the Regulation of One says you will get to choose – from an ascended consciousness's perspective – the most opportunistic life by which to reincarnate with. This has triggered the variety of functions to spike, and there are much more applicants at the moment for the restricted number of spots out there at regulation faculties than in years past. The Legislation of Attraction is neither good nor bad, it is, in fact, IMPARTIAL, so remember that.

Thus, the law of equity was meant to create a discussion board the place emotional ache, as well as financial loss was considered when reaching a judgment. London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) were required by legislation carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats. And most of them had no frame of reference for matters I contemplate elementary to legal service delivery. This course examines the elephantine idea of equity in the legislation, together with different modern legal issues. First, it ought to be famous that Florida and New Jersey has removed its regulation addressing this.
For instance final month I printed an article on the results of stigmatization on lawyers and regulation graduates – something that the commenters on this weblog taught me an ideal deal about, and which might curiosity at the least a couple of of them. Some firms may also enhance the supply of an merchandise in an try and decrease the demand for a product.
