It's always been important for me to use the voice I have through this community to share opinions, concerns and insights regarding changes announced by industry partners, especially when they will have an impact on our ability to provide the best patient care and run our businesses independently. This is my opinion and analysis of how the recent changes announced by VSP are likely to impact your practice. Based on the recent spate of threads on the topic and the comments it appears that many either aren't paying attention or don't understand the full impact these changes will have on your bottom line this fall. I don't want you blindsided, especially with all the other challenges we face during these unprecedented times. Below I have outlined an easy-to-understand timeline of the changes in VSPs reimbursement structure. I want to ensure every OD has a clear snapshot of what's to occur so you can be better prepared for the impact it will have on patient care and revenue.
As of September 1, 2020, a practice that would prescribe a Varilux lens with Crizal and Transitions for their VSP patient would receive a +/- 50% reduction in reimbursement on these products compared to 2019. It may be a bit less or even a bit more based on the lens material selected as there are additional changes in reimbursement for VSP Choice with certain materials (see chart below).
While Hoya and Zeiss are considered preferred PALS/DSV (Digital Single Vision), there is still a risk of a roughly 50% reduction in reimbursements on the coating or photochromic you choose for your patient. The ONLY preferred AR is Techshield AB and the ONLY preferred Photochormics are Sunsync Elite/Elite XT which have not been reduced relative to 2019. Transitions are NOT preferred and may be subject to the 50% reduction in reimbursement if you choose them for your patient in combination with the Hoya or Zeiss product.
How can you maintain your 2019 reimbursements? By using VSP preferred products for all three. However, you could still see a reduction from your 2019 reimbursements even on these jobs with VSP Choice, depending on the material that was prescribed due to the new fixed member co-pays. Today providers can collect 80% of U&C for Hi Index, Trivex, Polarized, and Digital Single Vision lenses.
VSP has removed the VSP lab requirement for choice states, meaning the lab work can go to other VSP approved labs in choice states. But I still have grave concerns about overall lab manufacturing capability with the new VSP Preferred Coating for example. You may be able to place the order through your local VSP authorized lab, however; that lab must outsource to a lab authorized to produce this coating. The impact on turn times may prove to be catastrophic. As of now, only VSP can manufacture the coating. Maybe we will see additional labs approved to manufacture in the future.
April 1
♦Photochromic reimbursement changes: Only Sunsync Elite and Sunsync Elite XT are preferred photochromics. All other photochromic lenses receive approximately 50% reduction in reimbursements. This means Essilor, Hoya and Zeiss products photochromics.
June 1
♦Lab routing changes allowing VSP choice states (California, Washington, Oregon, Ohio, Florida) and FEDVIP work to go to labs other than VSP.
September 1
♦Preferred and non-preferred reimbursement changes. Non-preferred products receive +/-50% reduction in doctor reimbursement. This impacts Pal/DSV, and AR changes new for 9/1. Photochromic changes occurred 4/1.
AR Coating
♦Guaranteed member pricing changes for VSP Choice work on Polarized, Trivex, 1.67, 1.74, Digital Aspheric lenses (DSV). Doctors no longer collect based off U&C and this could significantly reduce reimbursements on all of the categories on all products, including VSP's. So ECPs that go all-in with VSP still face potential reductions depending on the lens material prescribed.
If I just do a "back of the napkin" calculation this is what is seen. A practice in 2019 doing 40% of their optical with VSP patients, prescribing all Non-preferred PALS/DSV, AR and Photochromics in premium lens materials would face a +/- 20% reduction in optical revenue compared to 2019.
I figure the community can sort out any questions this brings up so I'll be observing the comments, responding to only those questions I am able to answer. Thanks for using the sharing buttons to make this viral for all colleague's benefits.

The 150-lot collection comes from the retirement apartment of the late Anne Lady Winnington, and features in a mixed-owner auction of art and antiques on November 30.
The group, valued at £40,000-50,000, is the last remnants of a significant collection of art and antiques that were inherited or acquired by Lady Winnington and her husband Sir Francis Winnington (1907-2003). Over the last two decades, it has been dispersed at auctions held at Phillips and Sotheby's in London and at Bleasdales.
The Winningtons, whose family seat was at Stanford Court in Worcestershire, are a prominent English family.
The first Sir Francis Winnington was knighted under the reign of Charles II and was appointed Solicitor-General to the King. His own father had been a Colonel in Charles I's army. Later descendants served as local MPs for Droitwich and Bewdley and as High Sheriff of Worcestershire.
A highlight from the sale is this 'lost' enamel plaque of Henry VIII, after the original by Hans Holbein The Younger, by the Royal enameller William Bone Senior (1792-1846).
Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1883, the large 8 x 5in (20 x 13cm) piece was acquired in 1958 for £122 from the antiquarian York dealer, Charles E Thornton. It bears a signature to the frame for Royal miniature frame-maker Miers and is estimated at £6000-10,000.

LIVING IT UP: "I didn't want a retrospective or a museum show. That can all happen when I'm dead," said a vibrant Roland Mouret, who's set to release his first book "Provoke, Attract, Seduce" on Nov. 6 (Rizzoli).
"Twenty years have gone by. I just wanted to consider what I've done, look at the clothes again and try to understand them — and my creative DNA," said the designer from his town house, showroom and shop on Carlos Place in Mayfair.
The coffee-table book was created with Mouret's longtime collaborator, Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou, the fashion stylist and editor of 10 Magazine, and the writer Alex Fury. In it, Mouret talks about his childhood growing up in Lourdes, France, as a butcher's son, his early career as a model and move into fashion design, his love of women's bodies and approach to design.
He looked into his archives and reshot all of the old looks as if they were new, working with photographers including Vanina Sorrenti, Alessio Bolzoni and Cedric Buchet. There are images of his pre-collections in there, too, along with arty collages by Brian Burn and a shoot called "Butcher's Apron" by Tierney Gearon.
"The butcher's apron was really the start of everything," Mouret says in the book. "All my technique came from it. It is because of that apron that I was not frightened to take a piece of fabric and to drape it, because of that education as a child, as a butcher's son."
While the book is more of a meditation on his style and approach, rather than a look at the past, Mouret has reissued five styles from his archive to mark the book's launch and his 20 years in business.
He's also chosen a further seven looks from past years for an exclusive capsule collection with Matchesfashion.com, called Tools of Seduction.
"This is my scratch book, my journey," he said of the Rizzoli tome, adding that when he sets out to design, he doesn't have a grand or complicated plan. "I think of dressing my best friend."
Mouret also talked about the speed of the industry. He thinks fashion needs to slow down, and that designers need to make fewer clothes that last longer.
Fashion should be about personal style, rather than trends, he said, and designer clothing should be able to live in a woman's closet "for a minimum of five years, not just six months." Mouret also thinks customers should also "stick to what they already have and make it last longer," and focus on mapping out their style and identity rather than chase trends.
Mouret is planning launch events later this month at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York and at Neiman Marcus in Miami and Los Angeles.

The Chain store
Built in 1864
The building adjoining the Lighthouse is the former Chain and Buoy Store, the largest surviving Victorian structure at Trinity Buoy Wharf, designed by Sir James Douglass. It originally stored iron mooring chains for buoys and lightships, as well as large iron buoys. The roof has a specially strengthened floor, put in at the request of Michael Faraday to take the weight of his experimental equipment.
Erected in 1864, this new store is the largest of the surviving nineteenth-century structures on the wharf. Its most prominent feature is an experimental lighthouse tower incorporated into the east wall. This was not, however, in Douglass's first design. He had originally intended that an already existing experimental lantern, put up in 1854 on one of the older storehouses, should be re-erected in a central position on the roof of the new building. In the mid-1850s this lantern had been used for the electric lighting trials carried out under the direction of Michael Faraday, the Corporation's scientific adviser, which led in 1858 to electric lighting being installed for the first time in an operational lighthouse (at South Foreland, near Dover). When Faraday asked for a 'chamber' with a rigid iron floor for examining optical apparatus to be included in the new stores, Douglass proposed moving the lantern to a 'Semi-tower at the East end', thus permitting the construction of a long narrow room within the roof space. Douglass's revised plans were approved in June 1864 and in October the building contract was signed with T. F. Stewart (son of Thomas Stewart, a builder in Mile End), whose tender was for £4,065.
The new store was a brick shed in two divisions, each measuring 50ft by 90ft, with double-pitched slate-covered roofs and timber queen-post roof trusses. Faraday's 'chamber' for examining optical apparatus does not survive. Presumably it was situated between the rows of queen posts under the south roof, and was lit by skylights, which have been removed. Access would have been via the staircase in the adjoining lighthouse tower. A railway track laid down to facilitate the movement of buoys and chains around the wharf originally went right through the building, passing under the large double-door openings in the middle of the north and south elevations.
The original lantern of 1854 was installed at the apex of the south-west gable of the chain and buoy store and remained there until the 1920s. It was enlarged in 1858 by Messrs Wilkins & Company, suppliers of lighthouse lights. Both lanterns were used in 1869 for trials of 'Electro Magnetic Machines', and experiments in connection with the Wolf Rock light, designed 'to render its red flash equal to white'. White light was exhibited from the western lantern, coloured light from the eastern, and the results observed from Charlton. After the Second World War the tower was used in the training of lighthouse keepers.
During the post-war reconstruction of the early 1950s the interior of the chain and buoy store was divided up to make workshops, and in the process many of the original external door openings were partially blocked and filled with windows.
Now the building has been reborn as an events venue for receptions, parties, musical and theatrical events, product launches and art exhibitions. Learn more about hiring the Chainstore here.

Clusters of Similarity-2
But I guess it may be due to the fact that people have not completely assimilated into the societies which they have migrated to or the native people have not completely accepted them into their communities. It is mostly a sense of safety as the expression says united we stand and divided we fall, but it is also a sense to preserve the way of life that the immigrants had in their native countries and sometimes instill that culture in their offspring. But being concentrated in one area does not do justice to the kids that are born in a society that they are more familiar with. If you keep on putting kids in a neighborhood just because you believe that your culture is superior to others, you are setting up yourself for disaster. I used to live in an ethnically mixed area a few years ago but then I moved in an area where the population is more than 96 percent white. But do you believe I am afraid to be between all the people who are not like me and does not share my culture or religion or other things. Not at all, I lived in Muslims and Non Muslims countries and never lived among majority areas. I am just comfortable with that and even secretly likes it since the more you are into your own ethnicity, the more the good and the bad things crop up during your interactions. The good things are really good, it is the bad things that ruin your relationship. I am not even afraid that in case of emergency nobody of my own kind will come for my help.

Devils Tears Nusa Lembongan Bali
Why You Absolutely Must Visit
Devils Tears Nusa Lembongan
Why You Absolutely Must Visit
As one of the most noteworthy spots on the island, Devil's Tears Nusa Lembongan is a sensational can't miss attraction that features some of the most intense waves we've ever witnessed.
Watch in awe as you soon discover the only thing more menacing then the name itself are the frightening demonstrations of the raw and unforgiving power of mother nature.
The name itself originates from the mesmerizing display of force as these enormous waves are continuously sent smashing against the rocky cove creating sudden massive ocean spray explosions, resulting in a large widespread mist aka "Devil's Tears", falling back into the sea.

Furthermore, if you watch close enough at the porous rock bed bellow, once the waves have finished crashing, you will witness a draining effect of the water falling back into the ocean appearing as if the rocks are literally crying.
Is Devil's Tears Dangerous?
Although a bit daunting at first glance, in reality, Devil's Tears is relatively safe with minimal risk of catastrophe, as long as you are extremely cautious and mindful of the humongous waves crashing in several feet beside you.
First off, although it might seem like a good idea to stand as close to the edge as physically possible, allowing you the perfect opportunity to capture that viral Instagram photo, just be aware that these waves are as we said before "unforgiving" and can quickly make you regret your decision.
We can personally attest to having witnessed several people get knocked on their backs after mindlessly posing a bit too close to the "danger zone".
With that being said, it is very common for tourists to stand on the rocks and without subsequent injury or nearly being knocked into the dangerous seas below, however with a bit of situational awareness and caution these potential hazards can easily be avoided.
What Is The Best Time To Visit Devils Tears Nusa Lembongan?
We decided to visit Devils Tears first thing in the morning to help avoid all those beloved tourists.
Although quite pleasant at this time of day, Devils Tears is not really a sunrise spot so no need to rush here before the comes up.
On the contrary, if you don't quite make it here before all the tourists arrive, then be sure to stop back in when the sun goes down, as I've been told this is one of the premier sunset locations on Nusa Lembongan.
Where Is Devils Tears Located?
Devils Tears is located on the South East side of Nusa Lembongan island.
From the most northern point on Lembongan which is on the complete opposite side of the island form where Devils Tears is located is around a 25-minute motorbike ride.
For this reason, motorbiking from any location on Nusa Lembongan is an absolute breeze.
Pro Tip
You can rent motor bikes from your accommodation or nearby scooter rental place for anywhere between 50,000 and 70,000 IDR (Indonesian Rupia) per day.
Nonetheless, if you've visited Lembongan's big brother Nusa Penida first and are a bit skeptical of the dangerous broken roads, then don't worry as the road quality in Lembongan is nowhere near as bad and is actually quite easy to navigate on motorbike.
How To Get To Nusa Lembongan?
Nusa Lembongan is part of the three Nusa Islands including Nusa Penida and Nusa Cennigan.
All three islands are easily accessible from Bali by way of a 30-minute ferry. Transports can be arranged from your accommodation or local travel agency for around 300 -400 IDR (Indonesian Rupiah). This price should include both transport from your hotel and the ferry ticket.
Pro Tip
It's best to schedule these trips a few days in advance to guarantee your spot for the trip. This is especially true during the peak season.
Where To Stay On Nusa Lembongan?

SoulPad - overview
SoulPad - 2005
Contributors (in alphabetical order): Ramón Cáceres, Casey Carter (summer intern - 2004), Chandra Narayanaswami, M. T. Raghunath
This work won the ACM MobiSys Best Paper Award and the IBM Research Pat Goldberg Award for Best Paper in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics in 2005.
SoulPad is a portable storage device containing the software stack shown below. The three-layer SoulPad software stack enables a paradigm of mobile computing where a user can suspend his computing environment on one PC and resume it on another PC that he may have never seen before. The PC boots an auto-configuring operating system from the SoulPad, starts a virtual machine monitor, and resumes a suspended virtual machine that has the user's entire personal computing environment, which includes the user's files, user's operating system, installed applications, desktop configuration as well as all running applications and open windows. Essentially, SoulPad enables a user to hibernate a PC session to a pocket form-factor device and carry the device to some another PC and resume his session on that PC. SoulPad has minimal dependencies on PCs that can be used to resume a user session. In specific, PCs are neither required to be network connected, nor have any pre-installed software. The only requirement is the support of a high speed local connection to a SoulPad device for an acceptable suspend/resume times and acceptable runtime performance. Our approach differs from Internet Suspend/Resume in several ways: we do not require a known software stack on the PC and also do not rely on network connectivity to fetch suspended virtual machines. In our first prototype, we installed the SoulPad software stack on off-the-shelf hard disks with USB 2.0 interfaces. Since USB 2.0 provides power, we do not need a separate battery to power the SoulPad. In addition, USB 2.0 is fast enough that the performance bottleneck is not the communication link between the SoulPad and the PC. Further, many PC BIOSes support the ability to boot directly from USB disks simplifying the resume operation to one of connecting the SoulPad over USB 2.0 and instructing the PC BIOS to boot from USB. Since the SoulPad device carries the entire personal computing state of a user, it is important that the storage capacity of the device be large enough to hold all of the content that the user needs. Many USB hard disks are based on the same technology as disks on laptop computers, and have similar capacities. Given the popularity of laptop computers, we believe that the capacities of USB hard disks are adequate for a majority of the user population. Since it is possible that the user may lose his SoulPad, we encrypt sensitive data on the SoulPad, namely the virtual machine state using the AES128 block cipher.
Figure 1 : SoulPad software stack and image sequence showing usage model.
The time to resume a suspended session after attaching the SoulPad to the PC is about two minutes. About half of this time is for the auto-configuration of the PC by the Host OS. The time required to suspend a running session and walk away from the PC is about 20 seconds. We note that the suspend and resume times are comparable to the time required for hibernating and rebooting a PC, respectively. As disk storage densities increase, portable devices such as media players, mobile phones, and digital cameras are likely to include large capacity storage disks. For example, a number of portable music players already carry 60GB drives and several cell phones already incorporate 4GB drives. By adding the SoulPad software stack to any such device, we make it possible for a user to carry his personal computing state using a device that the user would carry anyway. The only trade-off is partitioning of the storage capacity between the SoulPad software stack and the native function of the device in question. If the storage capacity is large enough, this approach has the potential to enhance the functionality of the portable device without requiring any additional hardware features, or affecting the usability of the device for instance by reducing its battery life.
The three-layer SoulPad software stack was conceived of by M. T. Raghunath and Chandra Narayanaswami. Subsequently, SoulPad was prototyped, refined, and evaluated jointly by the team listed above.

An Overview On Organic Stain Removers
There's nothing worse than spilling grape juice on your brand new blouse, or having your children run in the house with grass stains on the knees of their jeans. Thanks to the invention of stain removers, all hope is not lost. The important thing to keep in mind is that many stain removers are made up of harsh chemicals that could irritate sensitive skin. You'll want to choose an organic stain remover that contains natural ingredients that are safe to use around every member of the family.
When you begin your search, determine what type of stains the stain remover is capable of lifting away. Some are just for water-based stains, while others are best for oil-based stains. There's even a unique option on the market, as it is considered a universal spot remover. It is capable of combating every stain, including spaghetti sauce, blood and fruit stains.
Check what materials you can use the stain remover on. Almost all of them are designed for use with a variety of clothing, but others, like the Puracy Natural Stain Remover, 25 Ounces, can also be used to treat stains on floor mats, car seats, linens and carpeting. You'll even find some brands can be used on upholstery and fabric-lined furniture pieces.
Review the ingredients to determine if they are hypoallergenic, non-toxic (free of chlorine, parabens, peroxides, dyes, fragrances and phosphates) and safe to use around small children and pets. You'll also want to look at the product label to see if the stain remover is biodegradable and certified cruelty-free.
An ideal stain remover will use plant-based enzymes to break up and lift away the soiled areas on your clothing. Some options have a quadruple-enzyme formula to eliminate even the toughest stains.
Consider the stain remover's delivery method. A spray bottle is great for spills, but a built-in brush, like the one found on the Ecover Stain Remover, 6.8 Ounces, is best for tackling grass, mud and grease.
Finally, there are a few additional things to keep in mind as you narrow down your search for the perfect organic stain remover. If you have a septic system, for example, you'll want to look for a brand that is safe for use with septic systems. You'll also want to review how concentrated the stain remover is. The higher the concentration, the longer the bottle will last. How the company treats the environment is important. Some brands use recycled plastic bottles to deliver their stain remover, which cuts down on waste.
The Organic Stain Remover Buying Guide
- Some companies choose to offer consumers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for any stain remover product they sell. This lets you know that the business stands behind its products. It also protects you, should you find the product doesn't live up to the company's claims.
- Look for certifications and recommendations, as these indicate that the product has been thoroughly vetted and was found to meet important standards. A Safer Choice Certification is common for organic products. You may even find stain removers with 5-star ratings from such shows as Good Morning America and The Today Show.
- Check to see if the company is charitable. Some businesses that sell organic products like to donate a portion of their sales to help children and families that are less fortunate. That means some of your money is being given back to the community, and you can never go wrong when you give back.
- Never ingest the stain removers. Even though they contain natural ingredients, they aren't meant for consumption. Some stain removers also have ingredients that irritate the eyes. If you accidentally swallow the liquid or get it in your eyes, you'll need to contact your doctor or the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
- Not all organic stain removers are 100% natural. It's best to always take the time to read the ingredient list in full before you make a purchase, especially if you have any allergies or you suffer from sensitive skin.
- If you want to get the best results from your organic stain remover, you'll need to apply the stain remover as soon as possible and then let it sit on the stain for at least 5 minutes. Launder your soiled garment within 24-hours of applying the stain remover and your clothing will look as good as new.
- As you browse available organic stain removers, you'll want to keep price in mind. To compare prices, you'll need to divide the number of ounces in the bottle by the total cost. The Puracy Natural Stain Remover, 25 Ounces and the Ecover Stain Remover, 6.8 Ounces fall in the middle of the price range. A universal spot remover that combats every type of stain will be the most expensive.

Eating disorders are alarmingly common in the U.S. In fact, an estimated one-to-two students out of every 100 in America will struggle with an eating disorder.
There are different types of eating disorders, which can result in extreme eating behaviors and unhealthy ways of thinking about eating. Eating disorders are often about more than wanting to go on a diet or trying to exercise every day. Here are some of the most common eating disorders:
1. Anorexia
A person with anorexia often fears gaining weight and has a distorted body image. Someone with anorexia restricts their food intake, diets or fasts often and also might vomit up their food, use laxatives or engage in excessive exercise. A person with anorexia might be dangerously underweight and symptoms of this eating disorder include malnutrition, hair loss, fingernail breakage, lightheadedness and anemia.
2. Bulimia
Someone with bulimia eats a large amount of food, usually high carb, high fat foods (ice cream, cookies, chips), and then purges by vomiting, exercise or laxative abuse. A person with bulimia often eats in secret and feels powerless to stop their behavior. They might be at an average weight or overweight and symptoms of this eating disorder include stomach pain and tooth, stomach or kidney damage.
3. Binge eating disorder
Unlike a person with bulimia, someone with a binge eating disorder does not purge after eating a large amount of food. Those with this eating disorder binge regularly on food and have difficulty controlling their behavior. A binge eater is typically overweight and is at an increased health risk for developing diabetes, heart disease and other obesity-related problems.
4. Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
ARFID can sometimes be mischaracterized as "picky eating." Children are most likely to be diagnosed with this disorder and are usually underweight or not growing well. Someone with this type of eating disorder might avoid certain food colors or textures, have no appetite or be afraid to eat after a frightening incident of choking or vomiting. It would likely be important for a person with this condition to meet with an Occupational Therapist to see if they have a sensory processing disorder which may be causing the ARFID.
Causes of eating disorders
The primary factor in the development of an eating disorder is dieting. Diets usually involve limiting intake as well as increasing physical activity. For some people this change in behavior can develop into a full blown eating disorder. Other factors for the development of an eating disorder are physical, emotional or social issues. People with eating disorders are often depressed, anxious, or have other mental health problems, like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Genetics or family values may also influence a person's risk for an eating disorder.
Risks of eating disorders in teens
Generally, teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 are at a higher risk for developing an eating disorder. For teens, puberty is a time of intense emotional and physical changes. Academic anxieties and peer pressure can also play a role. Adolescents who participate in sports with a focus on weight, shape or size such as wrestling, cheerleading, gymnastics and football are also at an increased risk of developing an eating disorder. Coaches, parents, and others may encourage them to lose, gain weight _OR_ weight cycle for their sport.
Long-term effects of eating disorders and treatment
An eating disorder is a serious mental illness. Someone with an eating disorder might also be dealing with problems like stress, anxiety, depression and substance abuse. An eating disorder can lead to other serious health issues, like heart conditions or kidney failure. In some extreme cases, an eating disorder could lead to death.
Eating disorders can be treated. By working with doctors, mental health professionals and dietitians, a person can develop healthy eating habits and make a full recovery from an eating disorder.
If you or someone you know has an eating disorder but doesn't feel ready to talk about to a parent or close family member, try reaching out a friend, teacher, school nurse, counselor, coach, neighbor, doctor or other trusted adult. Overcoming an eating disorder takes time. Be patient with yourself and others when unlearning eating disorder behaviors and relearning healthy eating habits. It's possible to feel good in your body, eat healthily and like who you are.

In the last 2 days on Mashable it has been reported that new user and unique visitor growth has leveled out for both Facebook and Twitter (both are below 2% growth per month in the US over the last few months). Linkedin, however, is growing at close to 6% monthly both in the US and internationally. Additionally, Linkedin recently surpassed the 50 million mark in users.
The question is, do these two trends indicate that Linkedin is on its way to being the social media of choice for businesses? I would say so but as there is no advertising in Linkedin the use of Linkedin is truly as a networking tool. The marketing efforts in Facebook and Twitter still show those to be the most popular channels for seeking new business in terms of social media. Any thoughts?

Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office says ICE officers staying in county jail
The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office has "no plan" to remove ICE officers from the county jail according to a statement released Thursday morning amid intense local debate on the issue.
The statement was meant to serve as an explanation of what the two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who work in the jail do and why the sheriff's office does not honor requests from ICE to detain inmates for an additional 48 hours after their scheduled release.
"Recently there has been a lot of discussion as it relates to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office and the role of ICE within the detention center," the statement reads. "We hope this explanation will help clarify ICE's involvement when we process an inmate at the Oklahoma County Detention Center."
ICE officers help with the intake process, checking inmates for citizenship status. Oklahoma statutes say jailers are responsible to give a "reasonable effort" to check citizenship for those who are charged with a felony or a DUI, or those who are foreign-born nationals who cannot prove they are in the U.S. legally.
Local jailers are required to do this, but state law also gives them leeway and discretion to do more if they choose.
If ICE has an interest in an inmate, they can request a detainer be put on that person asking the jail to hold the inmate for up to an additional 48 hours after they would have regularly been released so ICE can take that person into custody. This detainer is not a legal mandate or a warrant signed by a judge, but just a request, the statement said.
"These detainers have been subject to several legal challenges with different jurisdictions finding the practice of honoring the detainers to be unconstitutional," the statement reads. "Since the detainers are not mandatory, any choice made to honor them brings along the possibility of civil liability if the detainer is found to be unconstitutional.
"In an effort to guard against the risk of liability to the sheriff's office and Oklahoma County, when an individual with an ICE detainer is set for release on their state charges, ICE is notified in advance and has several hours to come take that individual into custody prior to the inmate's scheduled release. Individuals set for release on their state charges are not held any additional time solely on an ICE detainer."
Oklahoma County Sheriff P.D. Taylor previously told The Oklahoman that he does not anticipate any changes in having ICE at the jail while he is still in charge. The statement confirmed that position.
"ICE will stay in the Oklahoma County Detention Center as a resource to help expedite the identification process within the jail," the statement reads. "We continue to have discussions with ICE, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office regarding this issue."
Serena Prammanasudh, who is involved in organizing against ICE's presence and is executive director of Dream Action Oklahoma, said that although the sheriff's office said it does not hold individuals past their scheduled release, she has heard personal testimony from individuals who have stayed at the county jail awaiting ICE custody beyond the allowed 48 hours.
"We have conflicting personal testimony," Prammanasudh said. "There is bias in how this is implemented and the whole practice of asking these types of questions is biased-based policing ... . The reality is we have a federal entity that we are hosting in our county jail in order to fast track our own community members who may or may not be guilty of a crime ... into the deportation pipeline."
She said pushback from the sheriff's office was expected, but community advocates will continue to push for ICE's removal from Oklahoma County and will then move on to other parts of the state.
After a protest took place outside the jail July 12, dozens of Oklahoma County residents have voiced their opinions on ICE working inside the jail by attending Oklahoma County Jail Trust meetings and addressing trustees during public comments.
Some residents want the immediate removal of the officers and an end to all cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. A petition circulating online has nearly 1,300 signatures. Other residents have voiced their support for the ICE officers.
The jail trust is a nine-member body tasked with reforming the struggling county jail, which is why residents have been lobbying the trust to make changes. It does not currently have authority to make changes in the day-to-day operations of the jail, but it will in the coming months.
Oklahoma County Commissioners Brian Maughan and Kevin Calvey have also voiced their support of the ICE officers while Commissioner Carrie Blumert said she thinks the officers should be removed.

Venvi Gallery showcases color, texture with The Abstracts
The Venvi Art Gallery presents The Abstracts, a group exhibition featuring abstract paintings by Tallahassee artists Terrie Corbett, Keith McCulloch, and Mark Barr as well as Canadian artists Eugen Denchik and Varda Lantsman. Each unique in style and expression, these artists share an impulse toward innovation, be it in technique, color, texture, or movement.
The show opens from 5-8 p.m.Friday, June 7, and will be on display through July 13. Venvi Gallery is at 2901 E. Park Ave.
Varda Lantsman and Eugen Denchik are Toronto-based artists who study at the Yazi School of Visual Arts. Denchik credits his teacher and mentor Jacob Pichhadze with encouraging him to use color and form "to achieve astral, cosmical, musical, [and] lyrical movement" in his paintings. Switching between the use of oil and acrylics, he creates dense and complex combinations of colors, while his visible multidirectional, sweeping brushstrokes suggest mystical undulations.
Varda Lantsman's paintings are remarkable for their diverse color and texture palettes. On one canvas, Lantsman may use bright, unnatural colors, such as neon orange, hot pink, and fluorescent yellow, while others feature subtle accents of yellow and deep blue on a black and white field. She similarly creates contrasts with textures, juxtaposing for instance sinuous curves with angular lines or overlaying rectilinear color blocks with chaotic swirls.
Terrie Corbett has an expressive use of color, allowing her moods to determine her choice of palettes, whether bright and bold or light and subdued. Working on multiple canvases simultaneously, she finds inspiration in the sensations of nature, love of animals, and art of all kinds, including dance and music. She creates implied and real texture with encaustic (hot wax), cold wax, and oil paints on cradleboard. Her choice of surface allows her to "scrape, dig, and scratch" into the painting to reveal contrasting color without damaging the work's "substrate."
Keith McCulloch, a resident of Tallahassee since 2000, specializes in abstractions and landscapes. The Boston-born and Yale-educated artist began painting at the age of eight. Formative visits to galleries in New England and Europe taught him that "lines and shapes and colors talk to one another" and he could "hear their conversation." Overlaying a thin layer of acrylic paint with oil brushstrokes, McCulloch seeks to create a dialectical tension between opposing forces that gestures toward resolution in his painting.
A painter with 20 years of experience, Mark Barr has shown his work in New York City, Salt Lake City, and Tallahassee. Preferring acrylics, Barr applies a resin coat to many of his paintings. He describes his technique as pairing "bold colors with a contrasting wash or erosion effect" to suggest "depth and duration." Color—its presence, absence, and contrast with other colors—is a focal point of his work. In Queen (2018), for example, Barr juxtaposes vertical bars of pastel blue and pink with dull black, white, and gray to great effect.
The opening reception of The Abstracts will be held on first Friday, June 7. For more information about Venvi Art Gallery, visit https://www.venviartgallery.com/ or call 850-322-0965.

Joy and I used to sit on the ground near the front wall stacking rocks into tall cairns, monuments to our patience and nimble fingers. Biggest to smallest from the ground up, thirteen tall was our best attempt ever, starting with a smooth round base and ending with the tiniest of pebbles perched on top. The stones are still out there scattered on the wall and when I go by, I sometimes set them upon each other again, a few here and a few there just so, perhaps a testament to the virtue of balance.
In thinking about balance I have made attempts to cultivate more of it in my life: setting my alarm later than I used to, because that if I sleep that late, I probably needed it. Choosing a walk every morning instead of anything else because morning outside is the best time of day. Attending not to every next thing that presents itself – and living a stream of consciousness, drifting from one distraction to another – but pausing to ask myself if this is the best option for my attention right now.
At the wall I place rock upon rock, gingerly releasing the topmost, testing if it will hold true or topple. Even when it sets, it is not there for long. Unattended, the tower topples by squirrels, wind, or rain. It might be like that in life, too. This notion of balance needs paying attention to so that it stays. Taking a moment or two to set the stones now and again, I keep trying. If it doesn't hold, I'll likely go out there to try to put it right again.

(CMR) Bodden Town West MLA, Chris Saunders, responds to the Premier Alden McLaughlin's recent comments to another media house earlier in the week on constitutional matters.
Saunders recently raised the alarm about how constitutional changes were being proposed and corresponded with Lord Tariq Ahmad on the matter. The representatives have said that he has a fundamental issue with the changing of the constitution without putting those changes to a referendum vote.
In response to these criticisms, Premier Alden McLaughlin stated that he agreed with the previous Opposition Leader Ezzard Miller that the changes were not controversial. He did admit, however, that changes are at the same time not minor. Alden further went on to share with the Compass that:
"It's never been an issue for anyone except Chris," the premier said. "He's concerned with politics and being an obstructionist."
In response to this statement Saunders has shared the following on his social media account page:
In this article…the Premier accuses me of being concerned with politics…and he is completely right.
However, it is clear that the Premier does not understand the definition of politics. Simply put..it is the "activities associated with the governance of a country or other area".
So am I concerned with the activities of the Premier and others in this regard? Absolutely!!
So am I concerned about the governance of our country by the Premier and others in this regard? Absolutely!!
The Premier went on to say that I agreed to all the proposed changes. While I will not stoop to the level of calling the Premier a liar, I am now concerned about his mental state. If he took away from our one meeting where I made it clear that I wasn't supporting many of the changes because after almost 10 years there were no District Councils or Standards in Public Life…he is clearly confused. My question then is the same as it is today…what does adding one more Minister have to do with UK overreach?
Additionally..the Executive is currently made up of 7 Ministers and 4 councillors. Why do we need to move it to 8 Ministers and 3 councillors? Don't we have more serious issues to deal with than having another Minister?
Based on what was also raised by both Arden McLean and Anthony Eden..it is next to impossible for the Premier to even think that there was consensus much less agreement amongst members of the Opposition on this issue.
The irony of this is that the Premier…when he was in Opposition… also agreed that a referendum should be held for any changes to the Constitution. Why the hypocrisy? Was he just playing politics then? Was he being an Obstructionist then?
The other irony in all of this is that the reason he claimed why my motion wasn't accepted is completely different than what the Speaker told me. As a matter of fact, I have it in writing from the Speaker that my motion will be set down for the October meeting.
The article also stated that I provided screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation between myself and Alva Suckoo. That is not entirely accurate. The Screenshot was actually a Group chat conversation of ALL the members of the Official Opposition at that time. The only Opposition member that wasn't on that chat was Kenneth Bryan. I am happy that I took the time out to put it in writing as quite frankly…I saw this coming.
The Premier also referred to me being an obstructionist. Well…let us look at the definition….It is the practice of deliberately delaying or preventing a process or change, especially in politics.
Based on the above definition…and considering the tactics being used by the Premier and his team against the CPR Group in exercising their Constitutional rights;
Based on the above definition…and considering the approach being taken to make changes to OUR constitution without public input;
Based on the above definition…and the continued failed policies that have continued to marginalized Caymanians and exploit cheap foreign labor;
Based on the above definition…and the continued failed policies that have resulted in Cayman having one of the highest cost of living in the world where many people are living paycheck to paycheck;
Am I an Obstructionist? You damn right I am!!
I agree with the Premier on that one.
I, like 10 other current MLAs campaigned against…and was elected…to oppose those failed policies.
The Premier may have convinced some of them to join him in supporting what they campaigned against…but not me.
I am not for rent!
I am not for sale!
What I am for is all of us coming together…working together..finding solutions together….to move our Islands…
One Love
One Community
One Cayman

Volunteers staged a "mass arrival" of white-skinned settlers to challenge Canada's legacy of colonialism.
The first-ever New Traditions Music and Art Festival brought collaboration and creativity to the Island. And, hopefully, some new traditions that will stick around.
In today's UP: A master class in clowning, open to the public; Diaspora Dialogues talks about Toronto the Good; Falcon Powder and Peter n' Chris's return engagements; the Simian Showcase; and loads of live music, including a fundraiser for Whippersnapper, Lioness's record release, and Anagram's last show.
Some of the people who will be making news, breaking out, and shaping conversations in the coming year.
In this special three-day Urban Planner: a musical closes out Kensington performance space Bread and Circus; Chef Hung's in town for TAIWANfest, and Kevin Sorbo's here for Fan Expo (and the Kevin Sorbo Garbage Weekend); Colin Stetson plays the Drake, and Hollerado DJ a dance party; Fake Prom enlists upstanding men and women to Go to War; and Art Starts' young conscripts debut a new city mural.

To say that we're living in stressful times would be an understatement. Being stuck indoors without knowing when things will go back to normal have prompted many people to resort to coping mechanisms, and at this time, there's a spike in interest in fostering pets.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, there's been a nearly 70 percent increase in animals going into foster care in Los Angeles and New York City, compared to the same time period last year. What's more, more than 600 people in NYC and LA have filed foster applications online, accounting for a 200 percent increase compared to traditional application numbers during this period.
If you, too, are considering taking a pet home, the first thing you have to do is find the breed that best fits your personality and activity level. As previously reiterated by writer Lucy Reed, you must first do a thorough assessment of your home and your level of obligation, as well as understand the responsibilities of being a dog parent. Once you've oriented yourself on everything you need to know, you can begin to look into the breeds that are the best fit for you.
To help you with your search, here are the most popular dog breeds in the world, along with what makes them unique:
Starting off with the most popular, Rottweilers seem to be the world's most famous canine, with the breed being the most searched for in 65 out of the 161 places included in a study by Finder. While they're often seen as protective guardians, Rottweilers also have a soft side and can be loving and loyal companions to their owners. They have hearts as big as their bodies, and they're incredibly intelligent. If you're looking for a guard dog, affectionate dog, and playful dog all in one, consider fostering a Rottweiler.
Labrador Retriever
In the United States and many more countries, the Labrador Retriever remains the most popular. Dogtime notes that they first earned their keep as fisherman's helpers, but over time, people all over the world grew to love them due to their good-natured personality and hardworking attitude. They're smart dogs, making them easy to train, and they also adore socializing and playing games. And while they're notorious for shedding, they're still fairly easy to groom.
Know Bruiser from Legally Blonde? His breed just so happens to be among the most popular dog breeds in countries like the Philippines, Austria, Belgium, and Spain. Not just a favorite of socialities, the Chihuahua is preferred by many because of its small size, big personality, and ability to hold its own in competitions of obedience and ability. Chihuahuas are also known to adapt well to apartment living, making them popular for newbie dog owners. They're sweet and affectionate, and they're easy to groom, too.
Another dog that is deemed fashionable is the pug, a breed that is extremely popular in 17 countries, such as Brazil, Ireland, Mexico, and New Zealand. Their adorable squashed faces and playful nature alone are enough to make you want to adopt them. Better Homes and Gardens notes that pugs make for an ideal apartment or house dog because they require minimal exercise. They also need minimal maintenance, so you don't have to worry too much about grooming. Pugs thrive in social settings and love being around people and other pets. And while they have lots of energy as puppies, they also tend to be stubborn at times, so it's best to train them early.
The Maltese breed is loved by people all over the globe, especially folks from Italy, South Korea, Poland, and of course, Malta. They're famous for their compact size—even when they grow up, their small bodies make it seem like they're still puppies. Even if this is the case, they're small but terrible. The American Kennel Club highlights how they make for perfect alert watchdogs, as they're typically fearless. Despite their long, straight hair, they don't shed as much. They're also known to be little athletes and can easily crush it on agility courses.

$170.00 – $1,500.00
The origins of Moon Rocks are a bit fuzzy, but rumors abound that the dispensary Starbudz760 first concocted them, with legendary West Coast rapper Kurupt popularizing the product and trademarking his own version called Kurupt Moonrock.
Moon Rocks are a THC megazord—they're essentially cannabis buds (historically GSC, but any strain suffices) dipped in or sprayed with hash oil, then rolled in kief. Though the potency of each batch of Moon Rocks varies and depends on how it's made/who produces it, the general consensus is that they hover around 50% THC.
Moon Rocks Weed. Blue Moon Rocks by BOG Seeds is an indica-dominant hybrid cross between Blue Moon and BOG Bubble. It has a sweet blueberry lavender aroma and calming full-body effects.
The Strongest Bud. The name itself sounds pleasing to any cannabis user who wants to get super duper high. Instead, Moon Rocks is usually a strain of Girl Scout Cookies and normally dipped in hash oil and then sprinkled with kief. Moon Rocks Weed
Half Ounce – $170, 1 Ounce – $300, Quarter Pound – $710, Half Pound – $1000, Pound – $1500

Rescue Mission moves to offer drug rehab program
Blue Water Area Rescue Mission in Port Huron is in the process of becoming a licensed substance abuse program center.
On Wednesday, a notice of intent was released stating that the nonprofit applied for a substance abuse program license through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. The license would allow the mission to provide a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. LARA was not immediately able to verify the application had been submitted.
"With the drug epidemic the way it is, we feel we need to step up and do more in the community than what we have been doing," said Arnie Koontz, Blue Water Area Rescue Mission director. "We plan to expand our program to offer drug rehab and education."
Port Huron City Manager James Freed said the property at 1920 24th St. is properly zoned for an abuse rehabilitation program. Freed said the city would have no zoning-related issues with the plan, as long as the state approves the license.
Koontz is also in the process of obtaining a recovery coach certification. The certification is intended to train counselors and other professionals how to coach people through addiction recovery.
The rescue mission would offer a 12-step faith-based program to anyone.
The facility would still offer emergency shelter beds, but is aiming to shift how they respond to the community's needs. Koontz plans to offer six emergency beds on the shelter side, and 20 recovery beds on the rehab residency side of the building. However, Koontz said that if needed, the availability of beds will be fluid. For example, if more emergency shelter beds are needed on a cold winter night, then the shelter will allocate extra beds from one side to the other.
Koontz is expecting the budget for the new classes and rehabilitation program to be $45,000 and expects the program to be launched by Nov. 1.
At the same time, the rescue mission is working to expand its physical footprint through a $300,000 expansion funded by grants and donations. Koontz said regardless of the physical expansion, the 12-step program will still be offered. However, he said the mission will be able to offer more services to more people if they had the space to do so.
Instead of just offering jobs skills, life skills and rehab programs to rescue mission residents in the evening, he would like to offer those programs to the whole community during the day as well. He wants to be able to serve both out-patient and in-patient residents working on their recovery. Koontz said he plans to partner with the St. Clair County Health Department to offer more programs and expertise.
"We applaud the Blue Water Area Rescue Mission for enhancing their recovery services, something this community desperately needs," said Annette Mercatante, St. Clair County medical health officer. "Although the St. Clair County Health Department has not yet formally developed any collaborative programs, we fully support this effort and endorse the director's application. Hepatitis vaccines would be a great place to start as this population is connected with the Southeastern Michigan Hepatitis A outbreak and is also at greater risk for Hepatitis B and C. We look forward to working with BWARM."
"We want to be a community clinic for everyone," Koontz said.
Koontz said the mission has already acquired a vacant piece of land to the north of its property and is working to obtain a piece of land to the east as well.
Koontz said the shift in the rescue mission's focus is a direct response to the community's needs.
"Prior to 2015, roughly 70 percent of the individuals we were seeing come in to the rescue mission primarily had an alcohol addiction," he said. "Since then, the tendency has shifted the other way. Now about 60 percent have a dual addiction with drugs and alcohol while the other 40 percent just are addicted to alcohol. So we have seen a dramatic shift to opioid-based addiction."
Before launching, the rescue mission still needs its application approved by the state, Koontz needs to complete his recovery coach training, grants need to be obtained and more community service partners need to be secured.

Four people, all believed to be minors, are dead from suspected pesticide poisoning at a home in Amarillo, Texas, Monday, officials said.
The fire department said the case appears to be an "accidental poisoning with no criminal intent."
The victims were found after the fire department responded to a medical call around 5 a.m. today, the fire department said. Besides the four fatalities, several people were hospitalized, the fire department said.
Family members told the fire department the pesticide contained the chemical aluminum phosphide, officials said.
"At some point, a family member tried washing the chemical from underneath the house with water," the fire department said. "When this chemical comes in contact with water, it creates Phosphine gas, which is highly poisonous and can cause pulmonary edema and respiratory failure."
The fire department said it's unclear how long the family was exposed.

We don't share maternity sessions very often but we had to make an exception for this one! Lynda and Chase were married August 2016, and we were blessed enough to be the ones to capture their beautiful day at Hotel Albuquerque. We were so excited that they asked us to capture their next big life milestone. Their first baby! We made our way to Sandia Crest and found the most beautiful location! Lynda was such a good sport in her off shoulder turquoise dress as her and Chase walked hand in hand through the cold forrest.
Flowers: Albuquerque Florist
We love when we get to be a part of something that comes full circle. Our fingers are crossed that one day we'll get to do their family portraits! Here's a peak of their engagement and wedding!

The 12 Days of Christmas aren't over yet!
In 2014, we visited the Cathedral of St. Peter in Belleville to see a display of nativity scenes from around the world. We had the chance to go there again last month, where they had a similar display, but with many different nativities than the last time we were there!
There is no doubt about where some of the nativity scenes came from:
My personal favorite was from Germany, although I guess the origin of this one wasn't as obvious:
I love how unique and beautiful they all were…especially the ones made out of unusual materials, like shells!
The most talked about item was the "hipster nativity scene." While I wouldn't want it on display in my home, it certainly was food for thought. There were some things about it that really make me hope that this isn't how history remembers us, though! Here are some of the things we noticed about it:
- Solar panels on the stable roof
- Drone on the stable roof
- Joseph, sporting man-bun and barefoot, taking selfies
- Mary, Starbucks cup, duck-face, and possible Uggs
- Shepherd with an iPad and a sheep with a Christmas sweater
- Wise men on Segways sporting a combination of fedoras, sunglasses, facial hair, scarves, suspenders, and skinny pants, carrying Amazon boxes
- 100% organic cow with gluten-free feed
I love seeing how different cultures depict something that has become so common to me!

Norma Jean deliver new atmospheric down-tempo song "/with_errors"
After releasing two tracks already, Norma Jean are back with yet another single from their upcoming record.
Their latest single, "/with_errors," is an atmospheric down-tempo jam with a bit more melodic elements than the last two songs.

The band dropped "[Mind Over Mind]" and later dropped a video for the track.
"I don't believe humans naturally live in a state of constant conflict," says vocalist Cory Brandan about the song and video. "I think it's perpetuated. Feel free to dive in further if you want. After that, it's a heavy rock riff with tons of fuzz!"
Then last month, they continued the album teasing with "Landslide Defeater" which showed a slight shift in style for the band. Its main riff is a more upbeat punk riff mixed with their signature breakdowns, and later in the song they bring back some Meridional-era sounding melodic sections.
Now, you can check out yet another new song in the player below.
The band's upcoming eighth full-length, titled All Hail, is arriving Oct 25 via Solid State Records.

Integrated Access to Cultural Heritage Information Pieces in Iran Astan- Quds Razavi's Organization of Libraries, Museums and Documents center: a Theory of Unionization Disparate Information Assets over Imam Reza's Zarih
Zarei, Mitra
Farrokhnia, Maliheh
MetadataShow full item record
Information systems preserve and provide access to primary information sources, scientific information and literature. Among these systems libraries, museums and archives are known as memory institutions, which preserve cultural heritage information and objects. These systems overlap some duties in preparing information sources. Libraries hold a number of museums objects and archives documents such as manuscripts or engraving plates and museums or archives hold a number of library objects such as typical books or DVDs that may be about museum objects or archive documents. Such an interrelationship should definitely be integrated in common information storage or at least virtually integrated through mediation devices that allow a query to be simultaneously launched on distinct information depositories which again requires common semantic tools. Mediation tools and semantic web activities require an integrated, shared ontology for the information accumulated by libraries, museums and archives for all the collections that they hold from highly standardize products such as books, DVDs, etc to raw materials such as stones, plants or draft manuscripts. In this paper, we will present the interrelationship of multidisciplinary information sources gathered in Astan Quds Razavi organization of libraries, museums and documentation center which is included among the most important art and cultural heritage center in Iran and Islamic world.

The first book in the Let Me series, this was also Lily's debut.
She's back.
Darcy all but ran away, desperate to shake him off. Her boyfriend? The guy who came off as sweet and devoted, the life of the party? Try obsessed, out of control and hell-bent on ruining her life.
One year later, a new and improved Darcy Donovan is back on campus and she's got a plan. That plan doesn't include Tom Farrell, or any other guy for that matter. He's surfer-boy hot and he talks a good game, but don't they all?
Hell to the yes…She's back.
Going after his friend's girl is wrong, but Tom is too hung up on Darcy to care. Screw principles, screw ethics, screw the bro code. An hour in her presence would lead the best of men to veer off the high road.
And he has his work cut out for him. She still thinks he's a joke, nothing more than a walking, talking one-night stand. What she doesn't know is that Tom has spent the past year changing his ways. He's not all talk, and he'll do whatever it takes to prove it.
But when a menace from Darcy's past resurfaces and Tom's past comes back to bite him hard, their one shot at happily ever after may be shot to hell.
What you don't know? Turns out that it can hurt you.
