Atletico saw off Arsenal in the last four to set up a showdown with the Ligue 1 club in Lyon next Wednesday, giving the departing Torres the chance to sign off in style.
The experienced striker will conclude his second spell in the Spanish capital at the end of the season when his contract expires, though he is yet to announce his next destination.
A lifelong supporter who came through the youth system, the 34-year-old wants to celebrate his Atleti farewell by securing silverware.
"To be able to win a trophy for the club I support, which has been my dream since I was a kid, would be perfect," Torres told the media.
"Finals are always disputed until the end. The players know those 90 minutes can define the season."
Atletico lifted the Europa League trophy in 2010 and 2012, though they have since lost two Champions League finals against rivals Real Madrid.
Still, defender Filipe Luis - who made his return from a fractured fibula in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Espanyol - hopes the squad's past experiences of playing in big games can work in their favour against Marseille.
"We've played lots of finals in the last few years and against a tough rival like Marseille, our only advantage is that we have more experience in finals," the Brazilian left-back said.
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Gus Poyet has cast doubt on his future as Shanghai Shenhua coach after the big-spending club slipped to yet another defeat in the Chinese Super League on Wednesday.
With Carlos Tevez again absent from the forward line, the club slumped to a 3-0 loss at the hands of Guizhou Zhicheng for their eighth defeat in 20 league games so far this season.
It left Shenhua 11th in the league and well adrift in the battle for places in next year's Asian Champions League, 12 points behind Tianjin Quanjian in the third qualifying spot.
"As coach I take responsibility for this match. I won't hide. I am proud of my job. However, I have reached my limit. I am not happy at all.
"Everything has its limit. I won't take responsibilities which are not mine. I don't want to say anything anymore because it won't be in my interests.
"I hope you won't ask more questions out of respect for me. Finally, I just want to say everyone has his limit."
Shenhua spent heavily in the close season to lure Tevez to China, offering the Argentine a salary believed to be amongst the highest in world football.
The club have struggled, however, crashing out of the Asian Champions League in the preliminary rounds in February before performing inconsistently on the domestic front.
Shenhua chief executive Wu Xiaohui, though, moved to quell speculation Poyet would leave after a meeting with the coach.
Being regarded as one of the greatest in any sport is a big achievement for any sportsperson and it is no different for tennis.
Over the years, number of players have put up some scintillating performances throughout their careers and have had their name written in the history books as one of the greatest players to have graced the sport. Many of these players have accomplished great feats including being World No.1, winning all four Grand Slams, winning Olympic Gold with Steffi Graf even achieving the feat of a Golden Slam in 1988 which includes winning all four Grand Slams and an Olympic Gold in the same year.
However, there have been many legends of the sport who have won a number of tournaments and accolades but have some big trophies missing from their cabinet. Let’s take a look at ten absolute legends of the sport who haven’t been able to win some big tournaments in their career.
It may come as a real surprise that one of the greatest tennis players was denied a Career Slam but that’s the case for Martina Hingis Considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all-time, had it not been for her ankle injuries, Hingis would definitely have won thrice the number of Grand Slam Singles titles.
She is one of only few players who have reached at least the final of all four majors across Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles.
Hingis was at the top of the WTA rankings for a total of 209 weeks. At the age of 15 years and 9 months, Hingis became the youngest-ever Grand Slam champion across all three circuits and at the age of 16 years and 117 days, Hingis became the youngest-ever Grand Slam Singles champion by winning her first Grand Slam 72 days before Monica Seles.
The ‘Swiss Miss’ has won five Grand Slam Singles titles that include three consecutive Australian Open titles from 1997-1999, a Wimbledon title in 1997, and a US Open title also in 1997. She also won two WTA Finals in 1998 and 2000.
However, the French Open eluded Hingis with her best performance being reaching the final in 1997 and 1999. 1997 was expected to be Hingis’ year and she began beautifully by winning the Australian Open title and was expected to be a prime contender for the French Open title.
Seeded first, Hingis beat a couple of former champions in Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and Monica Seles in the quarters and semis respectively. However, she was beaten by ninth seed Croatian Iva Majoli in the final in straight sets.
Two years later, in 1999, Hingis once again made the final as the top seed and prior to her final against Steffi Graf, she hadn’t dropped a single set throughout the tournament. She even took the first set and was three points away from victory in the second set but Graf bounced back and took the match and her first Grand Slam in three years.
She later made a couple of semi-final appearances in 2000 and 2001 before injuries forced her to retire prematurely. However, she came back but only made it to the quarter-finals in 2006. Martina Hingis is definitely the greatest female tennis player to have been denied a Career Slam in the singles.

Are you excited about Saving Money this coming year?!
Essentially, a money-saving challenge trains you through a year of diligence and creative thinking, how to implement a regular savings strategy. But the typical one that circulates the most is pretty hard to do for the average person. It involves saving $1 for each week of the year, but not just $1, it's $1 times the week of the year it is. So on the 52nd week, you have to put $52 in the money jar. That is over $200 during December. Um, that's when I want to HAVE the savings so I can SPEND it!
Here are the results of my searching and five really easy to implement ones for you to choose from this year!
This is a creative one I set up to do with my family this year! All you do is set aside a penny for each day of the year. Well, for each date of the year. So 1 penny on day 1 and 5 pennies on day 5 and then $1 (100 pennies) on day 100 and so on. The most you will ever put in the jar in one day is $3.65. And it is super easy to start midway through the year if you ever happen to get off track. Plus, by the end of the year you will have over $670 dollars! That's a good chunk of pennies! Download a Jar Label and Calendar to keep you on track!

| Distracted by the FacesInconspicuosity
Walking around the city at 6.30am on a Saturday morning is always going to encourage creative epiphanies. Combining a spartan-like early start and caffeine led to the inevitable questions of creative growth and purpose. Have my images been improving?
People are my favourite subject for street photography. Capturing a single moment of people's lives as they wander the pavements and laneways of Melbourne keeps me getting out of bed and grabbing my camera.
Photographing people who look interesting, or who are doing interesting things makes things easy. My recent trip to Radelaide reinforced a realisation that perhaps I had become a bit lazy when it comes to composition, relying on the quality of the subject to do the heavy creative lifting.
A few years back, a Ron Mueck exhibition came through Melbourne. So many photographers took some incredibly striking images at the exhibition – but anyone could do it, providing they had a tiny bit of talent. The sculptures lent themselves to easy composition. Most of the images I observed on most of my contacts' feeds were just reproductions of Mueck's work, without the photographer adding enough additional interest to the composition. That is not to say many of the images were wonderful, I just didn't feel as though the photographer had added enough to frame to "claim" the image creatively.
Maybe I have fallen into the same trap? One of my photography buddies often talks about photographers having access to "cool" subjects in their group of friends and acquaintances, which can often make up for gaps in their creative chops. Older, dorkier guys like me tend to have older, dorkier friends – so I need to search for the right subjects whilst out walking Melbourne.
I had a clear mission for Saturday morning's shoot. Focus on backgrounds, textures, framing, and textures was the short-lived plan. As soon as I jumped off the train, I started to search for people to shoot. The ingrained behaviour proved very resistant to change… I had to stop myself and reset very consciously to avoid going back into "people spotting" mode.
Here are the first few shots I excitedly took…
A couple of nice enough images, but it was not what I had planned, just people spotting…
The first step was to slow down – pulling out the Joby Gorillapod helped this. Seriously, a Gorillapod is so much more useful than any tripod I own. Light, dependable, and infinitely adaptable. Get one if you don't have one!
Buy this! (the Gorillapod, not the crappy camera!)
And then I took these photos at Flinders St to start with.
Mounting the Gorillapod on the hand rail offered some interesting prospects. I was incredibly lucky when the guy sweeping just ignored the camera and kept working. The motion in the second image is also a great used of the available light to create an image with a dynamic feel.
I moved on to Degraves St next, and set up again with the Gorillapod. The images started to flow a lot easier, and I had become more conscious of what I was doing rather than just constantly scanning for the next face to photograph.
After half an hour or so, enjoying the early morning light, I moved on. Staying put and taking my time seemed to make me more conscious of image opportunities around me. Here are some of the shots taken next…
Whilst there are no absolute belters in there, I was able to see compositions more easily and change things up a little.

Yes It's the slowing down that is the key Been thinking a lot about this lately For me trying to be as fully "here and now" helps me to see the whole of what's there To the point sometimes that I see something before I have realized I'm looking Of that make sense lol

Brexit News: Good Brexit deal could unleash torrent of UK investment and hiring | UK | News | Express.co.uk
PUBLISHED: 11:25, Mon, Nov 20, 2017 | UPDATED: 11:36, Mon, Nov 20, 2017
Ms Whitbread, CEO of London First, said that 40 per cent of businesses have put a hold on investment because they need "clarity" around a Brexit transition and when it will kick in.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Ms Whitbread said: "Every business leader that I've talked to over the last year has really emphasised how we do need to get certainty where it's possible to do so.
"We did a survey, London First together with Lloyds Bank, over 1000 businesses and we're not talking about just in London and certainly not just in the city, which revealed that 40 per cent of businesses have got investment decisions on hold, and hiring decisions on hold.
"And if they got clarity on what this transition deal would look like, they would be able to start to unlock those frozen decisions."
Jasmine Whitbread said that business will invest in the UK once they have clarity on Brexit
Ms Whitbread demanded "certainty around a transition" and said that businesses also need certainty for its EU workers.
But commercial letting firm British Land's CEO Chris Grigg claimed that Brexit is having a positive effect on the British economy and businesses are still committing to commercial lets.
Theresa May met with European business leaders in November to discuss concerns surrounding future trade between Britain and the European Union.
Following the meeting, president of BusinessEurope Emma Marcegaglia said: "Business is extremely concerned with the slow pace of negotiations and the lack of progress only one month before the decisive December European Council."
Former shadow chancellor Peter Lilley warned that businesses should prepare for a "no deal" Brexit.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Lilley said: "My advice to anyone in business – which I give when I speak to business conferences – is to prepare on the assumption there won't be a trade deal.

TechDay - 4 Tips for Local Digital Marketing Agencies
4 Tips for Local Digital Marketing Agencies
Businesses that want to stay competitive in this day and age need to create a digital marketing strategy. As much as 75% of marketers increased their company's credibility and trust with digital marketing tactics.
But not everyone has the means or proper knowledge required for a good digital marketing strategy, which is why a lot of companies choose to look for professional help. And if you run a local digital marketing agency, you have a large chance of finding success. You just need to know and implement the right tactics.
As a local agency, your main goal is probably to find businesses in your area that would be willing to work with you. And this is why you must prioritize local search engine optimization.
Most people look for local businesses by conducting a Google search and adding a phrase such as "near me" or "in my area". If you want to gain local customers, you need to ensure your agency comes up as a search result when they're looking for businesses.
The first step in local search optimization is creating a Google Business profile and including all the relevant information about your company on it. Make sure you have a completely filled-out profile and photos that will give your audience an insight into what your business does.
The second step is to optimize your website with relevant keywords that will ensure it's found by the right people. Ideally, you should use long-tail keywords that the people who are most likely to become your customers would use when conducting a Google search.
And once you succeed in your area, then you should start working on a localization strategy to start expanding globally. Adapting your services and products to the global market through translation, and even more importantly, localization is essential if you are looking to take your agency to the next level.
Set the deal properly
Almost every business out there will talk about the results their company can provide for the client without any proper demonstration. If you want to make an impression and show your agency is worth signing a contract with, you need to demonstrate the value it offers.
Before you even ask for a proper contract or payment for your services, you can provide a smaller service that will show you're a good agency to work with. For example, bring in a few leads without asking the potential client to commit so they can see you're worth the money you're charging.
Additionally, when you're talking to prospective clients, talk to them in a way that will show your marketing expertise is there to make their life easier. Don't bore them with what your marketing process looks like but rather explain what results you will achieve with your strategy.
And finally, you need to have an amazing proposal that will outline the scope of your agency's work, show you understand the client's needs, present your ideas, and show you have the right skills. Keep in mind that you need to learn how to write a proposal if you truly want to set the deal properly.
Use PPC ads to find local customers
Pay-per-click ads, better known as PPC ads, are one of the main elements of any digital marketing strategy. As much as 74% of brands cite pay-per-click advertising as a primary business driver.
You can use PPC ads to reach high-quality leads that are interested in your business and are very likely to convert to customers. To create a good PPC campaign, you need to know the best keywords to use and bid for the placement of your ads.
PPC ads are an amazing way to find local customers because they appear at the top of search results. This means your target audience is very likely to see these ads, click on them, and go directly to your landing page where your website will take over the job and explain why you're a good agency.
Another reason why pay-per-click campaigns are amazing is that you only pay for the ads people click on, not all ads that are shown. So if you know how to create a good campaign and learn how to improve your PPC performance, you will soon have a plethora of high-quality leads.
Don't rely on traditional sales techniques
Even the best and most successful digital marketing agencies need to bring in clients through an inbound sales process. After all, no matter how good your agency is and how many clients it has, you still have to talk to potential clients and convince them to sign that contract.
But the main difference between a good and an amazing agency is how they go about their sales process. A lot of agencies still use tactics such as cold calling and digital spamming, hoping it will bring results. However, these tactics are outdated and overused and rarely work.
To grow a successful business, you need to do much more than just sell your services. Agencies that manage to land clients easily do so because they understand they need to build trust and loyalty instead of using outdated sales techniques. Only when you treat your leads with respect will you earn the same from them.
In a world where everyone and everything is online, businesses are ditching old marketing strategies and focusing most of their efforts on digital marketing. If you've decided to open a digital marketing agency, know that you've chosen a very lucrative career path. As long as you know the important tips and tricks, you have nothing to worry about.

Tenchu time of the assassins cso | DESCARGA Tenchu: Time of the Assassins - 2018-11-19
Tenchu time of the assassins cso. PSP TENCHU TIME Of The Assassins (2006), UK Pal, Brand New & Factory Sealed 2018-11-19
Tenchu time of the assassins cso Rating: 5,7/10 525 reviews
ichi psp: Tenchu: Time Of The Assassins EUR MULTI5 FULL CSO 1.10 GB
A fifth character can be unlocked later, if you can stay awake that long. Ich hätte mich mit Händen und Füßen wehren sollen. Hammer time Say hello to Rikimaru - no relation to Rikimartin. Players can play as Rikimaru, Ayame, Tesshu and Rin from the beginning, and 's story can be unlocked upon the other four characters' story mode completion. Bizarrely, you can usually only see a few steps in front of you at any time - beyond that, there's just a black void behind which lurks who knows what terrors and dangers. Sedangkan Tesshu ceritanya adalah sebelum di kejadian Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, dari ceritanya player akan tahu bagaimana dia di pekerjakan oleh Zenosuke.
Take control of a skilled ninja assassin and sneak your way through the levels, while eliminating any opposition along the way. Again, this makes it very difficult to see what lies ahead and prepare yourself accordingly. After you download the utorrent game file, you must now go to your utorrent application. Adalah sebuah game action petualangan dengan element stealth yang sangat kuat menghiasi gameplaynya. For example, one of the missions can be completed in minutes just by wandering around a bit, defeating three enemies, and killing a cat it might have been a wolf, actually.
I hope its successor learns from the mistakes of this one, because I am still looking forward to a good Tenchu game on the handheld. The opening cinematic shows , , and slaying rival ninja in a bamboo forest. It will take some time to download like 1 day or more. Secara, mereka adalah sesosok pembunuh yang bersembunyi di dalam kegelapan. The Tenchu series has been around for far too long - perhaps since Japan was all feudal, or at least it feels that way - and now it's time to say goodbye. Unfortunately, it suffers from the exact same problems that have been keeping the game in the shadows for a little too long now. Somehow FromSoftware have succeeded in creating a stealth title where it is almost impossible to move about without causing a huge ruckus.
Rin has a similar story to Fatal Shadows, she finds a man fleeing from his burned down village, where he passes away and Rin promises to get revenge. Instead of offering many missions, the developers should have used the available disk space to enhance both graphics and sound. All in all Time of the Assassins is in no way an entertaining game. Notify me of new posts by email. Some of them are available in a mega-pack, which is still I will review them seperately soon, and go a little in-depth about level creation and logic.
When the player presses the attack button at the time Ayame stealth kills the enemy, the player will be rewarded with additional effects pause, negative screen, flowers falling, X-ray of enemies neck breaking or stabbed and higher stealth points. So, you back up against a wall - only to find that the camera is now focused entirely on your character, and you can't see who's approaching or from which direction. The textures look really blurry; compare them to Wrath of Heaven, and they look mediocre. Tenchu: Time of The Assassins is a strange game overall. Game ini menampilkan banyak karakter dari game Tenchu sebelumnya. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission.
Tenchu: Time of the Assassins for PSP (2006) MobyRank
There are rarely any tricky obstacles in your path - it's just a case from getting to A to B. If you want GameCola to review your videogame or computer game, please contact. Ayame appears again when appears and challenges Ayame. You can control the camera by holding down both the shoulder buttons and using the analog nubbin to move it around ve-ry-slowww-lyyy, but as you might imagine this isn't always easy to do when you're in the middle of a battle. Fitur yang aslinya malah membuat game ini jadi kurang nyaman di mainkan. The presentation leaves far too much to be desired, what with dull, sparse environments where you can only see a few feet in front of you, tiresome text conversations and a dreadful camera. There are some animated cutscenes, but not a lot, which is probably a good thing - since although they do feature decent enough graphics, the script and American voiceovers are terrible.
DESCARGA Tenchu: Time of the Assassins
Aber das ist ein verdammt schwacher Trost. The main theme is devoid of lyrics, and the English voice acting is disgusting. Dan mungkin player akan bernostalgia dengan hadirnya musuh legendaris serial ini yang akan hadir kembali menjadi karakter rahasia sekaligus bos terakhir dari beberapa karakter. Tenchu: Time of the Assassins is a terminally faulty character camera away from being another solid addition to the Tenchu series. It shows all their different stealth kills on the ninja.
Tenchu: Time of the Assassins • lojadeconsultoria.com.br
It looks bad, it plays bad and it sounds average. It was released in Europe by Sega Europe as Tenchu: Time of the Assassins on June 23, 2006. Gameplay The gameplay is similar to the previous Tenchu games developed by K2. Di batasi oleh sebuah bidang hitam beberapa langkah di depan karaktet. Tenchu is merely a piece of punctuation away from being a serial killer simulator. Der spröden Geschichte fehlen interessante Ereignisse und erwachsene Dialoge. Let's say you're creeping around again, ve-ry-slowww-lyyy and the icon alerts you to the fact that an enemy is nearby.

Broadcasters can set up different alerts for different actions or donated amounts. Using a stream alert widget allows you to determine where they will show up on your screen, their size, and how long they will appear. They can be customized to perfectly match other aspects of your brand for continuity.
Seeing a well-designed stream alerts can act as a reminder or incentive to other viewers to follow, subscribe, or donate.

Muxy alerts are instantaneous, allowing you to thank or call out to your viewer sooner. The service offer easily applied and customizable alerts for followers, subscriptions, donations, and host alerts.
StreamElements – Allows limitless customization, including custom CSS. You can set up as many variations as you like to keep things interesting while you broadcast.
Should You Have Customized Alerts?
You should absolutely have customized alerts if you are able to make or afford them. While standard or free versions still manage to get the job done, having something unique to your brand will be both entertaining to your viewers and show them that you are serious about the quality of your channel.
If you are serious about your stream channel, you should hire a professional designer to create your graphics and your alerts. A good designer will find ways to make your channel stand out and build a brand around you.

Custom Stream Alerts From Visuals by Impulse
If you have available funds for high-quality design work, look at the work created through the company, Visuals By Impulse. Their animation packages start at $150 and their work is unique and visually stunning.
Stream Alerts From Fiverr
If you are a new streamer and don't have a large budget for your graphics, see if you can find a designer through Fiverr who can work with you.
Design Work From an Artistic Twitch Streamer
Another option that is often overlooked is working with another streamer. Check out the Art category on Twitch. Many designers create digital art as their content. Find one whose style you enjoy and reach out to them.
You can use some imagery from your branding or channel. See if you can modify or animate your graphics, logo, or avatars. You can also use certain clips from past streams.
If you are creative and want to design your own animations you can use Adobe's Photoshop and After Effects software. YouTuber Seso uploaded a comprehensive video on how to create a simple animated alert for your stream.
Consider learning a little CSS. There is a free course on Codecademy that will teach you the basics in approximately 15 hours (after you take the HTML prerequisite which would take you about 7 hours). It is absolutely free and the skills you take-away will be useful in a variety of ways for your stream channel. In this instance, it will allow you to create variation in how the text and images appear, setting yourself apart from your competition.
Ideas for Twitch Alerts
Be aware of your content and try to place the alerts where they won't obstruct important visuals. It can be very frustrating for other viewers who are trying to enjoy your show to have important elements continually blocked by alerts.
If you are a musician or are doing another activity that is dependant on sound, minimize the noise created by alerts as they can be distracting or clash with what you are producing.
Design your stream with future alerts in mind. Try to make the different graphics and overlays on your steam correspond with each other for visual appeal. Having multiple elements interact with your viewers (change color or react in a way) when they follow or subscribe makes the whole experience unique for them. Think outside of the box.
Use as many variations as you can to keep things interesting for your viewers. Reserve the best animations for the best donations and subscriptions.
Try not to use GIFs. To make them look good, you must have a huge file size that can actually slow down your stream (unless you have an especially powerful computer). If you must use them, use a smaller version.

Woven by Michael Jensen and David Powers King - book review - MySF Reviews
Woven brings an interesting premise: everything in the world is part of the unseen Great Tapestry, tended by a few Master Threaders who maintain it and make sure nothing tangles or unravels the fabric. But what happens if one of those Threaders decides they want to weave things according to their own will?
Nels had wanted to be a knight of Avërand his entire life, until the actions of the Princess Tyra caused him to rethink his goals. Before he can do too much toward those changes, he finds himself dead and having to rely on the haughty princess to find the Needle that can bring him back to life. Their relationship starts off rather rocky, as the Princess believes herself to better than a lowly commoner like Nels.
The plot was very solid and the pacing was steady. There is a lot of depth to the world in the book, so much so that Woven is wide-open to sequels. The story in this book wraps up nicely, without the need of a sequel, but there are enough possible threads that could be woven (Jilia, for example, or perhaps a prequel) into their own tapestries.
The only major part of this book that was wanting was in some of the characterization. A few characters felt cookie-cutter in their actions and motivations (notably Sir Arek—he reminded me a lot of Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast in his thick-headed single-mindedness). Princess Tyra was perhaps a bit too snotty, especially since her parents did not seem particularly arrogant.
Outside of that, however, I really enjoyed Woven. Jensen and King wove a strong tale of destiny, intrigue, adventure, and peril, with just a little romance thrown in for good measure. If you don't like romances, you don't have to worry. This romance is very delicate and doesn't overpower the story with smoldering looks or ripped bodices. There's nary a Fabio to be found in here.
The magic in the book is handled well. It was rare, only understood by a few, and it worked well within the rules set up in the story. I also liked how it maintained its mysteriousness for the reader. Not everything was revealed, and the characters who could use it sometimes had to struggle to get it to work properly. It wasn't all just peaches and cream and rainbows.
Woven is solid despite its weaknesses. I read it all in one day (which doesn't happen all that often anymore), and it was worth my time. I have no trouble recommending it to you as an enjoyable book for young readers of all ages.

Stress and Its Effects - Doug Kaufmann's Know the Cause
Stress has been implicated in a number of health problems, ranging from minor and annoying to serious and life threatening. The "big" diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, are all thought to have some sort of stress component. Stressors in the environment instigate the "fight or flight" response in the body. The adrenals release adrenaline and cortisol, and you can often feel the immediate effects – stomach discomfort, heart palpitations, sweating, etc.
Biologically, these functions serve a purpose. Before civilization and cities and cars, humans on the plains would need these sorts of mechanisms to keep them sharp against predators and to help them hunt prey. Unfortunately for us, our bodies aren't particularly well equipped to handle the low level, non-life threatening types of stress we go through on a daily basis. This constant, low-level stress leads to a constant, low-level stream of cortisol and adrenaline. The long-term effects of this aren't pretty – lowered immunity, inflammation (which is associated with cancer, heart disease and a number of other autoimmune diseases) and adrenal fatigue.
Other factors, such as food, can even cause stress in the body. Take sugar for instance – sugar has an intimate relationship with stress. Sugar can act as a stressor on the body. However, if you are stressed, you will often crave sugar. This is because sugar releases "feel good" chemicals in the brain. The result is a negative feedback cycle, replete with the concomitant blood sugar spikes and crashes. Or, take mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are very detrimental to human health and put an enormous strain on the body. Not coincidentally, sugary foods and comfort foods – the kind we often crave when stressed – are the same foods often contaminated with mycotoxins and the kind of foods that would feed a fungal infection.
Enter fungus – especially if you are eating foods laden with mycotoxins, your body is going to be under a lot of stress. Stressed out bodies work in favor of fungus, which is an opportunistic organism. With your immunity lowered, it can colonize certain tissues in your body. Again, un-coincidentally, fungus has an intimate link with many of the diseases stress is implicated in.
Since we are unable to avoid stress, the best course of action is to manage and mitigate the way we respond to it. Here are a few ways to do this:
You might be surprised (or not, depending on how often you frequent the site or watch the show!) to find out that the best diet to combat stress is a diet that also limits mycotoxin exposure and fights fungus. Getting lots of good fats in your diet, i.e., avocado, salmon, walnuts, etc., is a great tool to help mitigate stress. Keep sugars, grains, corn, alcohol and potatoes out of your diet. In essence, follow the Kaufmann 1 diet.
Exercise has been shown to help with depression as well as some prescription drugs. Exercise releases those vital endorphins, and is an excellent stress reducer.
Fish oil is a great supplement to help against stress. Magnesium is a good supplement to use to relax, and there are a few sleep aids that use this as a primary ingredient. L-Theanine, phosphatidyl serine and magnolia bark are all excellent as well.

PHILADELPHIA - Researchers at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and other sites have found that doctors and other health care providers can better their chances of identifying and helping victims of domestic violence by changing the way they ask patients questions.
Previous studies showed that patients can be hesitant to disclose their abuse experiences to doctors, but information was scarce about why communication breaks down. To get clues into what happens during these private talks, investigators audiotaped 293 emergency room interactions that included a discussion of domestic violence. Seventy-seven patients disclosed experience with domestic violence during the interviews. Researchers identified several strategies that seemed to prompt more disclosure of abuse, highlighting the need to ask open-ended questions that didn't use phrases like "victim" or "domestic violence," which require the woman to view herself as a victim. Re-framed queries such as "Has anyone ever treated you badly or made you do things you don't want to do"" or "Is there anyone you are afraid of"" tended to elicit disclosures, as did asking empathetic follow-up questions when patients mentioned other psychosocial problems.

The Hard Heart The Crowded Heart
https://media.blubrry.com/discoverthebook/p/discoverthebook.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GHS-08-The-Shallow-Heart.mp3
GHS-08 KGD-33 MMG-22 NR7-30 WWJ-51
Today we come to the second soil in Christ's parable. This second soil illustrates a second heart. Last time we saw the wayside or hardened heart. This time we will examine the stony or shallow heart. Please open your Bibles with me to Christ's sermon about The Shallow Heart. Mark 4.5-6; 1617.
v. 16-17: SHALLOW HEARTS: What happens when God's Word falls on the Shallow Heart? Jesus says that He finds it temporary, unsubstantial, and with deep seated rebellion.
Open there with me to Mark 10 to see the parable of Mark 4 illustrated. In Mark 10 Jesus lets us see what goes on in the heart of the shallow convert. And we at last see the second soil illustrated! The way to understand our passage on the soils this morning is to allow Jesus to interpret it for us.
The clearest Biblical1 examples of the shallow, submerged rock soil is the Rich young Ruler of the Gospels. He is emotional, says all the right things, makes a splashy profession (with joy received Christ's word) but then when the hard reality of obedience and submission comes at the insistence of
1 See also Matthew 19.16-30; Luke 18.18-30 which also record the Rich Young Ruler account.
Jesus – he withers right before our eyes. The huge rebellion (rocky ledge under the soil) caused the Son of God's shining the Light of truth upon his life – to scorch and wither that shallow profession of desire to follow Jesus. His rebellion to the rule of God, his resistance to the law of God, his unwillingness to acknowledge his lostness — all show the shallowness of his profession.
Christ's story we look at this morning illustrates how we often unconsciously blend together the details of all the Gospels into one story. We usually call this the story of the Rich Young Ruler. All the gospels tell us that this man was rich, that is the point of the story. However – • only Matthew says that he was young (Matthew 19:20); and • only Luke says that he was a ruler (Luke 18:18).
Please stand with me and follow along as we read Christ's words in Mark 10.17-22.
Nothing matters more in life than the destiny of your eternal soul. Nothing matters more in all the Universe than the salvation that God has offered to all the people on earth. What was this passage about? We know it was not about a post-conversion call to deeper discipleship, because Jesus was answering a question about how to obtain eternal life!
The young man said he had never once broken any of the laws Jesus mentioned (10:19–20), and perhaps he had even kept the Pharisees' loophole-filled version of them. But Jesus lovingly broke through the young man's pride with a challenge that answered his own question: Sell everything you have and give to the poor. This challenge exposed the barrier that could keep this young man out of the kingdom: his love of money. Money represented his pride of accomplishment and self-effort. Ironically, his attitude made him unable to keep the first commandment, one that
Jesus did not quote in 10:19: "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3 NRSV; see also Matthew 22:36–40). The young man did not love God with his whole heart as he had presumed. In reality, the man's wealth was his god, his idol. If he could not give it up, he would be violating the first and greatest commandment.
10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me." NKJV
But what went wrong? Dante the satirist of the 15th Century, called this story the story of the great refusal.
Scripture says, "God is angry with the wicked every day" (Ps. 7:11 KJV). A righteous, holy, pure God cannot tolerate evil. He will not save those who try to come to him harboring sin.
10:22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. NKJV
The rich young ruler failed the test. Contrast this man's response with that of Zaccheus in Luke 19. Zaccheus had a deep sense of sorrow for his sin. He was willing to do anything—including getting rid of all his w2
As J. I. Packer has written, "The repentance that Christ requires of His people consists in a settled refusal to set any limit to the claims which He may make on their lives."17
2MacArthur, J., F. 1997, c1988. The Gospel according to Jesus : What does Jesus mean when he says "follow me". Includes index. (Electronic ed.). Academic and Professional Books, Zondervan Pub. House: Grand Rapids, MI 17 J. I. Packer, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God (Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity, 1961), 72.
10:22 At this, the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. NIV
While the children came readily to Jesus, a rich young man had difficulty. He wanted to get close, but he wanted to do so on his own terms. Jesus reached out in truth and love; unfortunately, the rich young man turned away. In this story, we see clearly the essence of the gospel—repent and believe. Jesus told the rich young man to turn his back on his past (repent) and to begin following him (believe). The young man may have wanted to believe, but he was unwilling to repent.3
10:23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" NKJV
3Barton, B. B. 1996. Matthew. Life application Bible commentary . Tyndale House Publishers: Wheaton, Ill.
10:24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!" NIV
Jesus' words amazed the disciples, and so he repeated them. Deceived by their own sins, they remain unwilling to give up their own ways. Lostness is never faced, sins are never repented of, the Spirit is never received, the Word is never grafted into their souls. Their old life isn't passing away, and they have nothing new that Christ begins. They have never been converted. And so when the heat of troubles comes they walk away from the Christ they never knew. They were never rooted into Christ, His Word was never implanted in their souls. They were never saved. Sin and not Christ — is the anchor that holds them.
10:25 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." NKJV
10:26 They were greatly astounded and said to one another, "Then who can be saved?" NRSV The disciples were greatly astounded almost to the point of exasperation.
10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible." NKJV
The answer to the disciples' question, "Who can be saved?" turns out to be quite simple. No one is saved on merit; but all are saved who humbly come to God to receive salvation. As Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8–9 NRSV). Here was the answer to the rich young ruler's question about how to obtain eternal life (10:17). Jesus explained that by submitting to his authority and rule, making him top priority over all else, and giving up anything that hinders following him, each person can have eternal life. For the rich young man, that meant giving up money as his idol. For each person the sacrifice may be different, though no less difficult. We may have little or much, but are we willing to give it all up in order to have eternal.
An analysis of Christ's methods in evangelizing this man would either cause us to criticize Jesus – or to examine ourselves. In this instance Jesus did not scoop up this eager seeker. Jesus did not embrace this correct seeker. Jesus rather exposed the heart of his problem. Jesus peeled back the thin soil and revealed the bedrock of personal rebellion. The stones of the true self of this man, that were immoveable by his own choice. He came correctly – Jesus is the only One that can save. He believed correctly – Jesus is good and thus the Son of God. He understood correctly – Jesus is the One before Whom we must bow. He accepted correctly – God's Word is the basis we must come.
Money is a marvelous servant but a terrible master. If you possess money, be grateful and use it for God's glory; but if money possesses you, beware! It is good to have the things that money can buy, provided you don't lose the things that money cannot buy. The deceitfulness of riches had so choked the soil of this young man's heart that he was unable to receive the good seed of the Word and be saved (Matt. 13:22). What a bitter harvest he would reap one day!4

One of the challenges of the Mac’s folder-metaphor interface for working with files has always been moving an item from one location to another when the original and target destinations are in different parts of your drive’s folder hierarchy. For most people, this means opening two Finder windows—one for the folder currently hosting the item, the other displaying the place to which you want to move the file—and then dragging the item between the two. You then have to “clean up” by closing one or both windows.
Of course, Mac OS does provide pop-up folders, so if you drag an item over the icon of your hard drive or a folder, a Finder window opens (after a short delay) to display that container’s contents. You can then move your item over a folder inside that window to pop it open, and so on, until you get to the desired location. You then drop the item to move it there. In some ways, this approach is easier, but it still requires that the destination folder (or at least some folder or drive enclosing it) be visible in the Finder or in the Dock. And if you’ve used pop-up folders much, you know that folders not in Column view rarely open in a consistent location, and that if your drag is interrupted for any reason, you must start over.
If you use OS X’s Spaces feature, there’s also the hassle of moving files between windows (and programs) in different workspaces. And Lion (OS X 7) adds the challenge of dragging files and folders to apps that you use in full-screen mode—there’s no easy way to do it.
A few years back—eight, to be exact—I covered a utility called XShelf, itself inspired by a NeXT OS feature, that provided an appealing alternative: a “shelf” where you can temporarily stash items you want to move. XShelf still seems to work in Lion, but it hasn’t been updated in 4 years, and it looks the part. It also doesn’t work with full-screen apps.
Yoink ( Mac App Store link) is a brand-new utility that aims to provide similar functionality in Lion. With Yoink running, whenever you start dragging a file or folder in the Finder, a small, translucent shelf slides out from the side of your screen. Drag your item onto the shelf, and the item’s icon appears on the shelf. (The actual item remains—for now—in its original location.)
Drag a file or folder, and Yoink offers its shelf (left). Dragged items are added to the shelf (right) for later use.
Now you can navigate to the destination location, either in the current Finder window or in a new one. You then just drag the item off the shelf and into the folder. As with the Finder itself, if the destination is on the same volume as the original, the item is moved; if the destination is on a different volume, the item is copied.
Unlike XShelf’s shelf, Yoink’s shelf appears in every workspace, making it handy for moving files across workspaces and even into full-screen apps. For many users, this feature alone will make Yoink tremendously appealing.
Yoink’s shelf shows only three items at a time, but if you drag more than three items, the shelf gains a scroll bar. For any item you place in the Yoink shelf, you can click the remove (x) button to remove the item from the shelf without acting on it (although there’s no way to quickly remove multiple items), and you can click the Quick Look-style button to get a basic preview of the file. The latter option is useful, although the preview is very small and it doesn’t include the full name of the item, which, because of the narrow width of the shelf, is rarely fully visible.
Unlike XShelf, which automatically hides unless you move your cursor to the edge of the screen, Yoink’s shelf remains visible until it’s empty. I generally prefer this behavior, as if there’s something on the shelf, I usually want to act on it immediately. However, there are times I wish Yoink would let me hide the shelf with an item on it.
Yoink’s preference window offers a few additional options. You can position the shelf at the center of either the left-hand or right-hand edge of your main screen. (This option is also available if you right-click or Control-click anywhere in the shelf.) You can choose how long the shelf stays open after you drag an item to or from it. You can also choose to automatically remove items from the shelf when you drag them off, or to automatically empty the entire shelf when you add new items to it. Finally, perhaps my favorite feature is the option to have the shelf’s “drop zone” appear next to the mouse cursor whenever you start to drag a file or folder in the Finder, so you don’t have to drag an item all the way across the screen to add it to the shelf.
XShelf does have a few features I miss in Yoink. For example, XShelf offers a number of options for tweaking the appearance and placement of the shelf. You can also lock each item individually, so, for example, you can keep particular items in the shelf even if you drag them off. (With Yoink, that’s an all-or-nothing setting.) XShelf also lets you view the path to the current location of each item.
I hope future updates to Yoink add some of these features, as well as the capability to drag, say, images from your browser or text from a document to the shelf so you can then drag them into other programs. I’m looking forward to future versions.
(Note: Although Yoink is available for purchase only from the Mac App Store, you can download a 15-day trial version from the developer’s website to see if you like using Yoink before buying.)

Everybody has some old foulies hanging in their closet or in their hanging locker on the boat, maybe some boxed up in the attic or garage. Maybe they’re just too big now after you’ve lost all that weight last year…:) You’ve had them for years, you don’t use them, don’t fit any longer and aren’t good enough to sell. Don’t take them to a for profit charity, bring them to Sail Northwest and we’ll put together truckloads of old gear to take over to The Bridge Care Center where they will be lovingly given out to people in our community that are in need and asking for help.
When delivering the donated gear and clothing in 2014 I learned that The Bridge Care Center not only supports the homeless and less fortunate but they help place people in jobs, many of which are on the fishing boats docked at Fisherman’s Terminal. The ability to place someone in a job on a boat and then hand them over some foulies and boots gives them the best feeling in the world. I’m proud to think that with your help we are able to give the folks at the Bridge Care Center that wonderful gift.
So as you sit there reading this promotion take a moment to think about that old stuff you have sitting around, Jackets, Bibs, Smocks, Hats, Gloves, Boots, Under layers, Blankets, Sleeping Bags, Jackets, etc., if it’s warm or waterproof throw it in your car and bring it by Sail Northwest the next time you come to Shilshole. We’ll do the rest. Help us help our community with your old gear.
The success of this program over the past two years has been nothing short of amazing and heartwarming. But the support we have received already this year is nothing short of stupendous! In the past few years this drive has been from Thanksgiving to Christmas, yet by Mid-Summer 2015 people have started bringing in foul weather gear, boots and warm or dry layers by the bag full. As you can see in the picture above the donations are piling up well before we’ve even thought about finding where the heck we stored our Christmas decorations last winter…
25% off Coupon you can use for Pro Shop Gear, including Gill, Dubarry & other accessories, by just donating your Warm or Waterproof gear to the Homeless

A Love Letter To My Son's Stepmom - Faith Nouri Law Firm
by Shelley Wetton | | 0
When I learned you were going to be part of my son's life, I couldn't breathe. I expected you to despise me, the ex-wife, in the way so many women do. And I worried you'd see my little boy as a nuisance, someone to be tolerated because he was a reminder of me. Would Connor annoy you when he had a tantrum or needed to be consoled? When he spilled juice, would you be angry?
Young children affect vacation plans, dinners, quiet time. Would you grow to resent him the way so many stepmoms do? And would my little boy end up broken and confused because he didn't feel loved?
When Connor was with you and his dad, I'd slip into his bedroom at my house and lay among his blankets, wondering where he was and what he was doing at that exact moment. How was I going to exist in a world where my child had a life without me? He still had so many firsts, so many pictures to draw, movies to see, pets to love, a bike to ride.
And, so, the hum of a prayer weaved through my thoughts, and I'll never forget the feeling that accompanied my plea with the entire universe: Please let her love my child. Please, please let her love my little boy.
And in doing so, you showed me the greatest kindness of my life. You also ensured I wouldn't miss a thing.
You invited me to stay the night so I'd be near Connor after his tonsil surgery. You invited me over when the training wheels came off his bike. And, I'll never forget the time you led me through your house so I could see Connor's bedroom, which brought me comfort, so much comfort, to know where he slept when he wasn't with me. I looked around his room, at fluffy pillows, cozy blankets, books, toys, artwork… and framed pictures of me.
Over the years, we've raised Connor from toddler to teenager. We've consulted each other on everything, from what shoes to buy him to what summer program suited him best. We've celebrated his accomplishments and shared heartache at times of struggle. Of course, we've also been upset with each other and disagreed. Remember when you believed Connor was old enough to ride his bike to school, while I didn't? As it turns out, he was more than capable. And you knew this because you knew him. You paid attention to him, guided him, mothered him. You helped me let him spread his wings in the way he simply needed to.
Since the very beginning, you've loved him with the selflessness and intensity I prayed for, as if he were your own. And he is. You kissed bruises, bandaged skinned knees and wiped Connor's tears when he was little. You made sure he had extra blankets in the winter, was pool safe in the summer. You've made his birthday cakes, Valentine's Day cards and took snacks to school on his birthday. You remember every little detail.
Recently, you ensured Connor's safety on a family vacation to Mexico. You allayed my concerns when he took surf lessons and promised he'd always be within your line of vision. You even made sure Connor called me just so I could hear his voice.
As he grows, we may not be kissing bruised knees, but I know you'll console the inevitable moment his ego is bruised, when life's disappointment creeps into the fabric of his teenage life. He'll need me and he'll need you. Our son has the unique advantage of having opinions from two moms who may not always agree, but who share a concern for his well-being.
In this way, you've helped me guide him and influence the person he's become — you've informed his perspective of the world, his sense of right and wrong, his respect for authority and women. You've encouraged him to be assertive, to listen to his own voice, to trust his heart. And what's more, you've respected and mirrored my thoughts on everything from bedtime routines to discipline, and in this way, you've honored me. Just as our son has grown, so have we.
I'm so proud to have attended mass, parent-teacher conferences, football and basketball games and hours-long swim meets with you. Together, we've met with school principals and deans, not because Connor was in trouble, but because we felt strongly about his education and safety. Together, we've shared so very much, from volunteering in the snack shack to a much-needed glass of wine.
I trust you with Connor's life, and in so doing, trust you with the most precious part of myself.
Our son is on the honor roll. He's polite, shows compassion for others, can laugh at himself, and is considered a joy by his teachers, coaches and the parents of his friends. I couldn't, and wouldn't, take full credit for any of our son's accomplishments. He is the sweet soul we've raised between two homes. So, thank you. Thank you, Jill, for being patient and tolerant as we navigated this life we didn't expect — a life that included each other. Above all else, thank you for selflessly loving and mothering our son.

This cover image released by Nozzle Records/Thirty Tigers shows "That's What I Heard," by Robert Cray Band. (Nozzle Records/Thirty Tigers via AP)
Robert Cray and Steve Jordan continue their fruitful partnership on “That’s What I Heard,” a collection where the guitarist and singer’s original songs blend seamlessly with a strong set of less-than-famous covers.
Cray and Jordan, who produces while also adding drums and percussion, have collaborated on several albums, including Cray’s excellent previous record where he was joined by musicians who played for Hi Records.
On “That’s What I Heard,” Cray is back in the studio with his longtime band, including redoubtable bass player Richard Cousins, keyboardist Dover Weinberg and new drummer Terence F. Clark.
The band’s sound explodes right out of the gate on “Anything You Want,” another of Cray’s typically unresolved relationship songs. Clark’s performance is especially crisp. Then, the romantic is followed by the devout with a take on the Sensational Nightingales’ traditional “Burying Ground.”
Among the other Cray originals, “Hot” is exactly what the title says; “This Man” is a deep groove with topicality; while “To Be With You” and “Can’t Make Me Change” are blues with a lean-and-clean guitar sound.
Cousins co-wrote “A Little Less Lonely” and ’You’re the One” is from the Bobby “Blue” Bland songbook. “You’ll Want Me Back” was written by Curtis Mayfield and recorded by The Impressions.
The tearful “Promises You Can’t Keep” includes Steve Perry on backing vocals, with Ray Parker Jr. playing guitar on album closer “Do It,” a rarity from Billy Sha-Rae that sounds like Marvin Gaye borrowing some of Mitch Ryder’s Detroit Wheels.

High School for Learning Delayed Children - Christian Home Educators Association (CHEA) of California, Inc.
Sometimes as we struggle along with our struggling children, the time for high school sneaks up and leaves us feeling overwhelmed with inadequacy. A child with special needs, by definition is two years delayed academically; meaning typical high school subjects may be too difficult. Your private school, either the one in your home or your private school satellite program (PSP), can decide what merits a diploma for high school.
You may decide that your child needs to learn character qualities, social skills, and life skills to be able to move on after high school graduation. And these may be at the core of graduation requirements rather than typical English, math, and science. Or your student may need to learn tools to accommodate their abilities. For example, a student who has dysgraphia will need to learn to take notes in a different way than paper and pencil. Learning this tool, along with practice, may be a requirement in English class.
If your special learner is gifted, typical high school course may not be appropriate also. You may have to be more creative in what constitutes graduation requirements. Twice-exceptional students, gifted with a learning disability, may cross both areas. This child may need highly accelerated course material in a format that accommodates the learning difficulty.
If you are enrolled in a PSP, work closely with your school leader to develop graduation requirements that prepare your child for the future. As you prayerfully plan your course of study for your special learner, here are some ideas to consider.
Reading along with Bible on CD helps with understanding and can increase reading speed, which helps with comprehension. If your child is unable to read the Bible, be sure listening to the audio version or listening to you read the Bible will give your child needed spiritual food. You may want to plan some time to chat about what your child has listened to. Remember, the important thing is not reading the Bible per se; it's the saving grace of Jesus.
Teach Biblical thought and worldview (discuss with your teen, do not assume they can get it from a book). Books that will help your and your child are Christian Ethics for Youth by Wilmer Bechtels, Right From Wrong and Don't Check Your Brains at the Door by Josh McDowell and Bob Hostetler, and Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.
Create a Life Skills class or something similar. Remember your delayed learner needs to actually do these, not just learn them from a book. Some examples of life skills include:
Household management – This can include cleaning, cooking, laundry, and other skills for independent living.
Handling money and banking
Making phone calls to find information
Health – Know how to fill out health history, how to read medication directions
Manners – The book Teenage Book of Manners Please by Fred Hartley may be helpful.
Peacemaking – Consider the book The Peacemaker by Ken Sande. Young Peacemakers resources may be more appropriate for your child.
Understanding of cultural pressures – Dr. James Dobson's book Life on the Edge is recommended.
Perhaps instead of subject titles, you may want to focus on needed academic skills. Examples of skills to consider:
Learn to copy from a book and from a board or presentation screen.
Note taking from books and from lectures, etc. (Use sermons, tapes, TV news, or your lecture). Try to offer an opportunity to take notes from a presentation or chalkboard. These are often used in education beyond high school.
Summarizing (précis)
Reading from texts to discern what needs to be learned for test
Test preparation Many jobs require aptitude or skill tests.
Writing an essay and a research paper
Arithmetic, basic geometry, and personal finance (balancing a check, for example)
Our teens need to learn to learn and think for themselves and often must be taught 'how' to do that. The following resources are recommended.
How to Study by Edward J. Shewan
The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox by Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn
If You Could See the Way I Think by Alexandra Shires Golon
Thinking Skills 3, Figural and Verbal (Critical Thinking Co.)
Critical Thinking Book 1 and 2 (Critical Thinking Co.)
Remember that you don't have to use all of these areas. Pray about what your child needs to serve God and plan high school according to your child's needs.

One Day – Three Table Settings
Dinner Contrasts
The well-known opera singer Lina Cavalieri's face adorns Fornasetti's characteristic plate collection, made by hand in Italy. In the company's atelier, the techniques used to make the very first products in the 1950s are still in use. Paint is applied by hand and the original paper patterns are preserved.
The design makes an exciting contrast to the glasses in the Crystal Flora series, designed by Ingegerd Råman for Svenskt Tenn in 2014. The glasses have an open and soft design that is stringent and elegant at the same time, making them suitable for everyday use as well as parties. The designer describes the collection as delicate yet functional.

Healthboards - Health Issues - Pain Management: Pain med dosage
Pain med dosage variances
04-26-2017, 03:37 PM #1
This is in response to a post awhile back concerning the amount of med in different companies meds. I too have been on pain meds for a long time, 20 years, and i know that there is sometimes quite a difference in the amount of active ingredients. I am referring to fentanyl patches. the amount of Mcg per hour may be the same but the overall amount of med within each patch can vary dramatically. If you get a chance compare the total amount of fentanyl in the Mylan patch to the amount in Malincrodt. On the 75 Mcg per hour patch I am using there is more than a 80 Mcg difference between the two.
I also know that the generic brands are equivalent to the name brands but there can be quite a difference between generics. As we all know we all react differently to meds so i can take 2 norco's from one company and get no relief but take 2 from another and get good relief.
I have been using Malincrodt patches with good results but just changed pharmacies and got the Watson brand and get virtually no relief at all. Mylan falls somewhere in the middle.
05-08-2017, 02:49 AM #2
Re: Pain med dosage variances
I'm a little confused by what you said about there being a 80mcg difference between mallinCRAP and Mylan - both of the 75mcg patches claim to release 75mcg's per hour; the difference lies in the total amount which is in milligrams; in the two; the mallin/75mcg patch contains a total of 8.5mg - and the Mylan 75mcg patch contains a total of 7.65mg - Watson 75mcg contains 7.5mg - Brand name Duragesic 75mcg contains 12.6mg
The brand name "Duragesic" contains the highest amount of fentanyl mg wise.
What I don't understand is, if each patch releases 75mcg per hour for 72 hours - WHY such a difference in the total amount????
I am using the "Duragesic", they are the best; to me, there is NO comparison, and next to "Duragesic", the other generic brands are sub-standard.
By there being 12.6mg in the 75mcg Duragesic patch- "Duragesic" is saying it takes 12.6mg of fentanyl to release 75mcg per hour for 72 hours.

I'm not sure where your getting your information but it cannot be correct. That large a discrepancy between fent patches would be causing overdoses. A variable of a few mcg or mg is normal between mfg.'s but 80 mcg is not possible.
07-07-2017, 02:47 PM #4
The difference is likely due to the composition of the patch layers and the ability of the med to pass through it. Different manufacturers use different materials of different thicknesses, etc. that have different diffusion rates. The important thing is the amount of drug delivered/hour, not the total amount of drug in the patch.

Understanding the Farm Bill Reauthorization Process and How You Can Influence It
Image is of the U.S. Capitol. Image by Nicole Cook.
The "Farm Bill" is an omnibus piece of federal legislation covering agriculture, conservation, rural development, research, and food assistance. It has been continuously reauthorized approximately every five years since 1933. The current Farm Bill will expire on September 30, 2018, which is why Congress is drafting a new bill. What's in the new Farm Bill will directly affect how U.S. agriculture operates for the next five years. To learn more about the reauthorization process and how you can educate your legislators about the Farm Bill issues that matter to you, keep reading.
The Farm Bill actually begins as two different bills: one in the House and one in the Senate. First, the House Agriculture Committee develops the sections of the Farm Bill called "titles," which pertain to issues like Commodities (Title I), Crop Insurance (Title XI), Nutrition (Title IV), etc., and then the Congressional Budget Office ("CBO") estimates how much each title will cost taxpayers to fund. The CBO's estimate establishes the budget the House and Senate committees can use in developing their respective bills. The committees then apportion the CBO's projected budget between the specific programs within each title.
Once finished with its draft, called "the Chairman's Mark," the House Agriculture Committee sends it to the House floor for debate and a vote. That's when people outside of the House Agriculture Committee, including the public, get to see the draft. Last Thursday, Representative Michael Conaway of Texas, the Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, scheduled a markup on the House's draft for tomorrow, April 18, 2018 at 10 a.m. in Room 1300 of the Longworth House Office Building. The bill is known as "H.R.2, Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018."
Now that the House's draft bill has been released and scheduled for debate in the House, you can contact your House representative to express what you like, what you don't like, and what you would like to see amended in the draft bill.
After the House passes its version of the bill, the bill goes to the Senate. The Senate Agriculture Committee, currently chaired by Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas, also creates its own draft bill, which goes to the Senate floor for debate and a vote. As of this posting, the Senate Agriculture Committee has not released its draft bill. As such, if your senator is on the Senate Agriculture Committee, you can contact him or her to voice your opinion on what should be in the bill. If your senator is not on the committee, you can still ask your senator to make your wishes known to the members of the committee.
The versions of the bills passed in the House and Senate then go to the Joint Conference Committee where the differences between the House and Senate bills are worked out. In general, the Joint Conference Committee is made up of senior members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. In theory, the Joint Conference Committee reconciles the two bills, but there can be surprises and deals made along the way which substantially alter some aspect of the combined bill. This means that, although the Joint Conference Committee has not been formed as of this post, once it has, if you live in a district represented by a member of the Joint Conference Committee, you may contact that member and could have an important voice in the Farm Bill process.
Once agreement is reached by the Joint Conference Committee, the reconciled bill is sent back to the House and the Senate for debate, and each chamber votes on the bill. If one chamber makes any changes to the bill, the bill is sent back to the Joint Conference Committee for further work on reconciling the changes and then is sent back to the House and the Senate for a vote. Once the reconciled bill passes both chambers, the final bill is sent to the President to sign into law.
Enacting a Farm Bill is a long process. You can follow the House's activity on the bill at the House Agriculture Committee's Farm Bill website and the Senate's work at the Senate Agriculture Committee's Legislation website. And you can contact your representatives and senators throughout the process to let them know how the Farm Bill impacts you.

Primary :: Primary Acquires MSIS
Primary Capital Partners LLP has acquired a majority stake in fast-growing specialist environmental services and equipment provider, MSIS in a £20 million transaction.
The investment from Primary will help MSIS fast-track its ambitious growth plans by extending its service offering to capture a larger share of the North Sea market and further develop its presence in selected international offshore markets.
The deal sees a profitable exit for Maven Capital Partners, which invested an initial £2.5m in MSIS in 2007. Chief executive, Chris Lloyd and managing director, Ian McPherson will remain to lead the management team who will own 30% of the business.
Since its launch in 1998, MSIS has grown to become an independent and trusted adviser to the offshore oil and gas sector and onshore industrial sectors, offering an increasing range of specialist skills, equipment and services. The company which employs 80 people has a proven track-record in specialist cleaning, waste management and market-leading best practice. Over the last two years, the rapidly expanding company has made substantial investment in equipment and facilities at its bases in Invergordon and Aberdeen.
Chris Lloyd said: "This strategic deal for MSIS will help us accelerate our growth ambitions and opens up new opportunities for our employees. The management team looks forward to working closely with Primary to build upon our strong platform to extend our services and market reach.
"In the currently challenging oil and gas market, this investment allows us to take bold steps towards adding to and developing our high quality services and products which will continue to offer cost effective environmental solutions to our onshore and offshore customers.
"I would also like to pay tribute to our two founder directors Dave Skinner and Jim Macaskill who will be taking a step back from the business following the deal. Both have been instrumental in helping to build MSIS into the successful company that it is today."

December | 2009 | Barbados Free Press

Barbados Allegiance – Can this new political blog remain non-partisan and non-attack?
A new Barbados political blog went online a few days ago with a mission statement to discuss Bajan politics in a non-partisan forum and without attacking any specific political party, policy or person.
The gang at Barbados Free Press wishes all the best for the authors of Barbados Allegiance Blog and welcomes any new voices and perspectives to the political discussion in Barbados.
We have our reservations though with the part of Bajan culture that seeks to talk politics in general without referring to specific actions of specific persons. In seeking to not offend we most often accomplish nothing. Silence empowers wrongdoers and that is why the politicians are happy with the Bajan defamation and libel laws as they stand. If "Libel Chill" wasn't invented in Barbados, it certainly should have been!
Barbados Free Press is non-partisan in that we attack both major political parties and more than a few other people too. One could say that we are an "equal opportunity attacker".
Can Barbados Allegiance make a difference and keep reader interest without being specific against any political party, policy or person? We don't know.
So good luck to Barbados Allegiance, but we hope after a few weeks we are not reminded of the bible verse that talks about "neither hot nor cold."
"Welcome to a new political dialogue in Barbados. Our aim is to ensure that the public can discuss issues without the fear of their views being seen only as a support of one party position or the other. Over the years the debate of very important issues in Barbados has become muffled because of this fear. Our pledge is therefore to create a political environment that does not tolerate the expression of aggressive or sinister partisan positions.
We believe that those individuals should be given a voice. Having discussions and indeed debates is the foundation of a democracy. Here we will seek to work in that great cause. We look forward to your support and your participation!"
… from the "Welcome" page of Allegiance – Barbados Political Thought & Action
In particular since this is a non-partisan political site we do not wish submissions that support or denigrate the policies, positions or personalities of any political party. ALLEGIANCE reserves the right not to publish such posts at its discretion.

House Public Education Committee hears bills on home-schooler UIL participation, health and safety, and more | Teach the Vote
House Public Education Committee hears bills on home-schooler UIL participation, health and safety, and more
On Thursday, April 4, 2019, the House Public Education Committee met to hear bills on several topics, including home-schooled students' participation in UIL, student health, protected speech, and the available school fund.
ATPE supported several of the bills on yesterday's committee agenda:
House Bill (HB) 348 (Nevárez, et al., D-Eagle Pass): Would allow school districts to provide increased compensation to a teacher who completes an autism training provided by a regional education service center. This bill was not actually heard by the committee yesterday due to a last-minute change.
HB 1602 (Hernandez, D-Houston): States that a school district may not begin instruction before 8 am and calls for appropriating over $755 million to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the purpose of offsetting the additional transportation costs associated with the bill. Rep. Hernandez said that 34% of Texas schools start in the 7 am hour, and some students wait in the dark for the bus as early as 5:45 am. A student testified for the bill, saying it would help her get more sleep and receive less disciplinary action. ATPE member Yen Rabe also testified in support as one of several witnesses who cited increased safety and student well-being if the school day were to start later.
HB 2738 (Meyer, R-Dallas): Would expand educator misconduct provisions adopted through SB 7 from the 2017 legislative session to also include non-certified employees, such as those who may work in charter schools and Districts of Innovation. The bill would require TEA to create a "do-not-hire" registry of these non-certified persons.
ATPE registered in opposition to HB 1324 by Rep. James Frank (R-Wichita Falls), which would require public schools participating in UIL activities to provide home-schooled students who meet certain eligibility requirements with the opportunity to participate in the activity. Districts would likely incur costs from this mandate, and HB 1324 does not ensure that home-schooled students would be subject to the same requirements and thus on a level playing field with their public school peers. Testimony on this bill was split between those who had concerns about implementation, costs to public schools, and increased government oversight, and those who wanted to be able to participate in UIL activities, especially sports. Read ATPE's written testimony against the bill here.
The following bills were also heard by the committee yesterday:
HB 873 (Allen, D-Houston): Would require the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee to review students' behavior intervention plans (BIPs) at least annually for those who have a BIP as part of their individualized education plan (IEP). This bill also requires changes to the student code of conduct, including parent notification about the student's BIP or if the student needs a BIP when violations of the code occur, and it changes law around the use of restraints and time-outs, requiring detailed notification to parents. Lastly, the bill requires that if a school district takes disciplinary action against a student with disabilities that results in a change in placement, the district must conduct a behavioral assessment and develop or revise the student's BIP.
HB 1131 (Cole, et al., D-Austin): Would create the "Texas Public Finance Authority" to act as a "paying agent" under current law for the guarantee and payment of bonds. School districts could also borrow money from the new authority.
HB 1906 (Burns, R-Cleburne): Would allow a parent of a student with severe cognitive disabilities to request that the child be exempted from required assessments. The ARD committee would make further determinations on whether the student should be exempted and what the best assessment instrument for the child would be. Special education advocates testified about concerns with making sure someone is still held accountable for growth and progress of these students, and argued that assessments should be fixed rather than removing students from taking assessments altogether.
HB 2097 (Krause, et al., R-Fort Worth): This bill would allow only Arlington ISD to withdraw from TRS-ActiveCare under a pilot project. Representatives of the school district testified that healthcare costs for its employees under TRS are too high, but members of the committee were cautious and indicated there should be more study on statewide impact before allowing one district to have special treatment.
HB 2244 (González, M., D-Clint): Would define what is protected speech and require school districts to adopt a policy establishing rules regarding students' right to exercise freedom of the press at school. Testimony supporting the bill included remarks from students, teachers, a professor, and a lawyer.
HB 2393 (Burrows, R-Lubbock): Would require the State Board of Education (SBOE) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to develop a hunter education course for students in grades 7-12 that a school district can use as a part of its physical education curriculum. Rep. Burrows stated that there are barriers to children being able to take hunter education and that many violations have been committed by hunters, presumably as a result of lack of education.
HB 2555 (Parker, R-Flower Mound): Would update the guidelines on food allergies and require school boards and governing bodies of charters to update their policies on caring for students with food allergies who are at risk of anaphylaxis.
HB 2689 (Dean, et al., R-Longview): Would require each school superintendent to designate a cybersecurity coordinator to serve as a liaison between the district and TEA. Rep. Dean stated that student data, such as social security numbers, are particularly valuable and in need of protection.
HB 2739 (Meyer, et al., R-Dallas): Would require private school administrators to report misconduct by educators they employ to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) and allow them to obtain information from SBEC any reports the board has about prior misconduct or criminal histories of such individuals.
HB 2740 (Meyer, et al., R-Dallas): Would require the Department of Family and Protective Services to release information regarding child abuse and neglect investigations and allegations to private schools, as it does for public schools.
HB 3683 (Dutton, D-Houston): Would allow the commissioner to authorize a charter or campus program to provide a dropout recovery program for grades 9-12, at which 50% of the enrollment must be students who are age 17 or older. Eligible students would include those who have dropped out or been in a disciplinary alternative education setting, as well as homeless students, working students, asylees and refugees, or at parent request. Charter school advocates testified that the bill would improve student retention and completion.
HB 4205 (Craddick, R-Midland): Would allow repurposed campuses to be operated in partnership with certain nonprofits that have a successful record of operating a campus or charter. Former Speaker Craddick stated that a school slated for closure has only two options (close the campus or appoint a board of managers), and his bill offers a third option by allowing non-profit charters to partner with the school district to reopen the school. TEA General Counsel Von Byer said the campus would still have to be closed and repurposed, and that the repurposed campus would have to serve a majority of new students and offer a distinctly different academic program.
HB 4613 (Shaheen, R-Plano): Would allow parents to request an exemption from state and federal testing requirements for special education students, potentially through a federal waiver. Special education advocates testified with concerns on meeting federal reporting requirements and having accountability for all students, including those with disabilities.
HB 4611 (Huberty, R-Humble) and its related House Joint Resolution (HJR) 151 (Huberty, R-Humble): Would propose a constitutional amendment to allow the General Land Office's (GLO) School Land Board to transfer up to $600 million to the available school fund. The current allowable contribution is only $300 million. Testimony from both the GLO and from Dr. Keven Ellis of the SBOE was neutral, focused on finding avenues to increase funds to the available school fund.
The following pending bills heard during prior meetings were voted favorably from committee on Thursday: HB 851, HB 1026, HB 1517, HB 1639, HB 1640, HB 1823, HB 2511, HB 2984, HB 3007, HB 3217, HB 3323, HB 3435, HB 3966, HCR 59, HB 843, HB 1160, HB 1276, HB 1632, HB 2030, HB 2184, HB 4310, and HB 2210.
The House Public Education Committee will meet again on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, to hear a variety of bills, mostly pertaining to charter schools.

Absolutely great interview!and Charlie seems one of those kid you can relate to. I have strong feelings about bullying, having been a victim myself, and I'd love to see how Charlie deals
Thanks for the chance to win a book that sounds terrific. Great interview--I'm looking forward to keeping up with your blog.
Thanks for a great interview, it is always inspiring to hear of others success so best of luck. I will post a mention on my blog http://suzannefurness.blogspot.co.uk/
Notes for the final talk at Wat Yannawa 2008. Topic : Karma Sanskrit = Karma Pali = kamma But the word kama (with a long ‘a’ sound) means sense desire – usually referring to lust. This is where we get … Continue reading →
I don’t know about you, but my kiddos are really hard on their clothing! Between dirt, mud and grass stains, potty training accidents, and every type of food they eat somehow ending up on their clothes, we have more than our share of stains in this house. It’s one of the reasons I try to get as much of their clothing second-hand as I can, because then I don’t worry so much if something gets ruined.
Fighting stains naturally has been, and probably will continue to be, an ongoing battle for me. I have found some things that work, and work really well, on specific types of stains. And other things that work sometimes, but not all the time, or not on certain stains. And then there are other stains, that for some reason, no matter what I do, I just cannot seem to get them to budge.
But, before I get to the specific stain removers, here are some general tips for keeping clothing stain-free.
This one is kind of obvious, but the more you can prevent stains, the fewer stains you will have to fight to remove. If you can get your kids to wear bibs when they eat, that is a really good thing. Get large bibs that cover their clothing well, and make it a rule that they have to wear one whenever they’re eating. This is a tip that I should follow myself, since my kids are terrible about wearing and keeping on bibs.
Have designated “messy” clothes. I have some youth sized t-shirts that work great for arts & crafts shirts. Because they are big, they cover up the whole shirt and part of the shorts or pants that my kids are wearing. So, when the “washable paint” doesn’t turn out to be so washable, it’s not a huge deal because it’s on a shirt that my kids can just wear over and over for doing art projects.
The best time to treat a stain is right away, before you put the clothing in the laundry basket. Once a stain has time to sit, it has time to set. Plus, you may miss treating a stain when you are putting a big load of laundry in.
It also takes much less time to treat one piece of clothing before you put it in the pile, then it does to go through a pile of laundry and treat all the stains at once before you can put the load in the washer. I’ll share my favorite stain pre-treaters below.
If I don’t pre-treat my stains, I often dread doing a load of laundry because I know how much time it will take to go through and treat the stains before I can wash the clothes. And I know that the likelihood that some of the stains won’t come out is pretty high. It’s pretty frustrating to spend a lot of time treating stains only to have them come out of the washer looking the same as when they went in, this I know from experience!
If you do have stains that don’t come out after washing, DON’T put that item into the dryer. The heat from the dryer will “set” the stain and make it much harder, if not impossible to get out. So if your clothing comes out of the wash still stained, set it aside to try a different stain remover before washing again, or hang it on the line to dry – which won’t set the stain and may even help to remove it (see below).
I have tried a lot of different types of natural stain removers, here’s what has worked (an not worked) for me so far. I’ll also rate each stain remover on a scale of 1 to 10, one being the worst and ten being the best.
I mix vinegar and water 50/50 in a spray bottle, just like I do for natural cleaning, and spray down clothes before putting them in the wash. I have not tried pre-treating stains this way, I just use it as a right before washing stain remover.

Hi Mike, I lead a small non profit in Chicago that expands learning and social capital for inner city kids through non-school, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs. While I lead a single program, I've created the Tutor/Mentor Connection to help all of the programs in the city get resources they need, and to help fill voids in neighborhoods where there are no programs. A key resource is a Google map based Program Locator which anyone can use to find contact info for existing programs, or to build public/private collaborations to support programs.
The key question that I'd like to see more people asking is "what are all the things we need to do to help a youth born in poverty be starting a job/career by age 25?" Building participation in this question, and sustaining involvement for many years, are two of the first strategies that would need to be addressed.
I think that question is relevant for everyone on this list, but not many are asking it. It's also relevant for business and public leaders in Boston, Chicago and other cities, but few leaders are asking it and building communities of people involved in building sharing ideas and information that would lead to a distribution of programs leading to that result.
I was a history major in college so I think we might both approach this from the same perspective of "what do we already know" and "how can we share that"
I hope we can connect here or in other forums for this purpose.

Thanks Mike for the information and explanation. I have a gmail account, used google docs for a grad class with another teacher, have a wiki, blog, delicious account, and use moodle for my classes throughout the year. I have been taking grad classes to learn about the technology and how to use it. My biggest problem with implementing any of that is the school filter. all "social networking" sites are blocked. They unfiltered YouTube for a while-kids wouldn't get off of it. So back to filtering it. I would have thought Google docs would been a better choice. They are looking at Google Wave and thinking this might be something we could use. Don't know that much about it yet. Will check out what you said about that. My plan for summer is to try to plan and revise to implement as much as possible next year without burning out. I need summer to revive and rejuvinate. Tell me exactly what you do, how much it costs the district, and any other details that would be helpful for me to pass on. Thanks.

You were so excited when you started your job or at your new school. You poured yourself in to your work, but it turned out that there is no end to the work that needs to be done and it is so draining.
You feel depleted. Also, life is hard, your personal life and/or your health is suffering because you work all the time and you might even feel like your boss or coworkers are bullying you. You may be feeling jaded or hopeless. You are thinking about quitting and you are feeling lost, depressed, angry, maybe even nervous and on edge. You need something to change. Being burned out wears us out and if we are prone to depression, anxiety, or we are distractible due to personal concerns burnout will amplify that and getting support can make all the difference.
I have been where my clients are. I personally understand the struggle of recovering from burnout, and toxic work environments. As a social worker my perspective encompasses the whole person and is empowering. It is not all on you, it is your environment too and I get that. Self-care is important and there will be plenty of talk about that, but I believe it is also about a larger picture and learning how to navigate a world that can be oppressive, marginalizing, and unkind. Reach out to me today so that we can explore your life stressors and help you get back on track for greater work/life satisfaction.

Amazing bullet! fantastic accuracy. serious overkill for whitetail deer. bullet didnt pass through, but the opposing front quarter was absolutely mush under the plate sized blister. wasted 1/4 of the meat.
My Kimber ATR .308 loves these seated 0.010 off the lands. Less than 1/2 moa consistently. I have killed numerous whitetails and hogs with it without any problems with penetration nor expansion. I have also used this bullet in competition out to 800 yards with great results.

RightsCon Tunis 2019: Election Watch: Addressing information f...
Election Watch: Addressing information freedom on the internet and the dangerous trend of internet shutdowns
Technology and politics are now connected more than ever. Elections around the world, from Bangladesh, Nigeria, India, to Ukraine, have revealed a status quo of information control and attempts to manipulate the online environment. Governments, politicians, and foreign actors are increasingly violating digital rights ahead of elections in order to control the media narrative, censor critics, and deny citizens access to information.
In this session, we will bring together research groups, activists, and human rights organizations who seek to understand and address the ways internet restrictions negatively affect electoral integrity. We will explore some of these mechanisms, including internet shutdowns, information controls and blocks, and misinformation and propaganda, while evaluating the economic and political cost of undermining the transparency, fairness, and legitimacy of elections.
In addition, we will consider how to develop advocacy strategies that raise the profile of internet freedom concerns ahead of elections and respond to specific needs in diverse countries and regions. The goal of such advocacy is to prevent the normalization of connectivity disruptions and digital rights violations during elections.

Montana National Guard begins screening individuals arriving in Montana
By: Evelyn Schultz & Kaitlin Boysel
and last updated 2020-04-04 14:51:14-04
GREAT FALLS — At the direction of Gov. Steve Bullock, more Montana National Guard soldiers and airmen have been activated for COVID-19 response.
The 73 soldiers and airmen will be screening individuals arriving in Montana from other states and countries, with their permission, and follow up with information for anyone who needs it..
Beginning Friday April 3, they will be present at airports in: Bozeman, Billings, Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls and Butte.
The National Guard will also have a presence at train stations in: Whitefish, Havre, Shelby and Wolf Point.
This mission might be different from others, but the goal is the same.
"It's not a go-to-war mission. It's a Montanans taking care of Montanans mission, and that's really what we're all about. The people you'll see in these terminals are from the very communities that they're supporting...or very near," Lt. Col. Chad Roudebush said.
Guardsmen say this is about educating people - and helping to slow the spread of the virus.
The Montana National Guard is authorized to conduct temperature checks, assess individuals for COVID-19 symptoms, and to inquire about the exposure history (e.g., close contact with an infected person) of any traveler arriving in Montana from another state or country through air or rail travel.
Such checks may only occur with the express direction and authorization of the Governor and Adjutant General, and only at locations to be determined by the Governor and Adjutant General, consistent with the purposes of this Directive.
When conducting temperature checks, assessing for symptoms, and inquiring about exposure history, the Montana National Guard will advise travelers arriving in Montana from another state or country of the mandatory quarantine for those traveling to Montana for non-workrelated purposes, as well as the Stay at Home order and its limitations on non-essential travel.
If a traveler has a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or greater, is otherwise assessed to have COVID-19 symptoms, or who has had close contact with an infected person, the Montana National Guard will refer the individual for assessment by a healthcare provider.
The healthcare provider will notify their local county or tribal health department of the location where the traveler intends to quarantine, if applicable.
The term "close contact" has the meaning ascribed to it by the Centers for Disease Control, and means:
being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of a COVID-19 case for a prolonged period of time; close contact can occur while caring for, living with, visiting, or sharing a healthcare waiting area or room with a COVID-19 case;
or having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 case (e.g., being coughed on).
The Great Falls International Airport are doing what they need to do right now:
"I think on all levels we are seeing extraordinary measures being taken to stop the virus can't really say the effectiveness of the health screenings. I think it's not innocent with many of the things we are being asked right now to stop this illness," says John Faulkner Great Falls International Airport director
But things have also been very different for the airport doing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Faulkner said, "I think over the last two to three weeks we have seen standard deviation decreases one day this week we had four people come in. This is one of the busiest flights I have seen all week. So, it's definitely a decline in traffic because people are trying to get home to where they're from. We have been contacted by a couple of people that are trying to help elderly parents that are here, and they are separated from those parents. So, I think for the most part people are just trying to get where they need to be its just down to a few people a day that are willing travel."
This COVID-19 had also shown huge changes in the airport revenue sources.
"We are seeing dramatic declines in all of our revenue sources I'm thinking parking revenue for march was down about 42% percent and if you remember we had half a month where it was fairly normal. So it kind of tells you the other half the month we almost had no one go through. So yeah it's a major decline in the revenue we normally see through," says Faulkner.
They also ask if you do decide to travel to make sure to self-quarantine
Any person coming to Montana from another state or country for a non-work-related purpose must immediately self-quarantine for 14 days. If a person will be present in Montana for fewer than 14 days, that person must self-quarantine for the duration of the visit.
Any person who has already arrived in Montana from another state or country for a non-workrelated purpose before the date of this Directive must immediately self-quarantine for the remainder of a 14-day period beginning on the date of their arrival in Montana, or until their departure from Montana—whichever is sooner.
The Montana Department of Commerce will advise persons listing hotels, rental properties, or other short-term rentals in Montana—including but not limited to listings on such services as Airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, and related services—to include notice of the mandatory quarantine for travelers from another state or country.
These quarantine restrictions do not apply in the following circumstances: o to persons traveling through Montana en route to another destination; or o to public health, public safety, or healthcare workers
These quarantine restrictions shall apply to Montana residents and non-residents alike.
In addition to these restrictions, persons required to self-quarantine under this Directive shall also comply with the requirements of all other Executive Orders and Directives issued by me. This Directive shall not be construed as limiting the effect of any previously issued Directive or Executive Order.

Perfume, spice, tea, stone fruit and citrus blossoms are some of the notes that can be detected. In the mouth, the texture and ripeness and gentle tannins result in a wine that has incredible length and complex flavour profile. The wine also has wonderful fruit volume characterised by stone fruit and mineral flavours. The finish is long and has slight phenolic edges supporting the fruit through the entire length of the wine.

Obama – dadzoo
Obama – stretches his arms
From an address made by the President of the United States in regards to the Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
State of the Union – The King rules ALL.
Ok, first I want everyone to know that I am not saying this because President Obama is BLACK. Is he? I am saying this because I DON"T AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES. It has nothing to do with race, but has everything to do with what he says and what he does.
First, he will push his agenda no matter what the cost. Here is a perfect example. Because he can't get things done with congress, he is going to by-pass congress. "Now, yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission. So I'll issue an executive order …

Camping on the level - Anderson levels — Curbside Car Show Calendar

Camping on the level - Anderson levels
April 13, 2018 / Tony Barthel
Automatic leveling systems have come a long way to the point where even some travel trailers have seven-point automatic leveling systems such Keystone's Outback brand. However you can save many thousands of dollars and simplify your RV experience with a set of Anderson leveling wedges instead.
I really like to write about products I've found that I use regularly on the road and the Anderson levelers are one of those products. Effectively they're just a curved plastic wedge device but, in practice, they really make setting up camp a simple affair.
Last year I was on a business-related camping trip where I had to set Curby, our 19' Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer, up in a windy, rainy and miserable condition and the camp site I was assigned was about as on the level as a politician on the campaign trail. Fortunately I had my Anderson level with me and I had previously applied bubble level gauges to the front and side of my travel trailer.
The Anderson levels come in two pieces - the main wedge and a second wedge as a stabilizer.
Basically, I just backed the trailer onto the Anderson wedge until the bubble level indicated that I was level side-to-side. Simple. From that point on you use the trailer's tongue jack to level it front to back and then set your stabilizer jacks.
Unless you're moving slowly you can have camp ready in just a few minutes with this methodology. It's pretty great.
The Anderson wedges are relatively foolproof, starting about 1/2" thick on one end and going up to 4" thick on the other. Only once have I come across a paid campsite that was so off level that I wasn't sure that it was going to work.
The wedges come with two pieces, the actual wedge that you drive onto as well as a smaller wedge that you use to lock the larger wedge in place. If you happen to have a two-axle trailer you're going to have to get two sets of these and there is a package that includes all four of these pieces.
I'm a huge fan of simple things that my brain can understand and a plastic wedge falls into that category. I know that multi-point automatic leveling systems are becoming more widespread in their availability but I just love solutions that don't involve a lot of mechanical wizardry to make them work. But I'd prefer plain old crank windows in my pickup, which are impossible to find.
While my trailer only has a single axle, most have two and there have been more than a few people who have complained that the Anderson wedges don't fit well between the two wheels of two-axle trailers. While Anderson says that you can cut the tip off one of the levels to make their product fit better, Camco manufacturing has come out with a level that is similar to the Anderson product that will fit well in two-axle trailers.
The Camco levelers on a two-axle trailer
Camco's solution has a rubber surface on one side to avoid slipping and, I'm told, their product works really well.
Either way these simple wedges can make a big difference when you're setting up camp and want to get to those beers in the fridge or those fish in the stream.
Another thing I like about the Anderson version of these is that you can set them on their side and put your tongue jack into them (something about that sentence just seems naughty) so they seems to have multiple uses.
Either way, these wedges are a part of what makes for StressLess Camping.

Kick Start You Cruise Vacation Tasting
5 Cruises Sailed and No Cruise Booked
Wife and I attended this tasting on our last cruise.
Of course the staff were great.
The drinks offered was not my cup of tea.
Would not do it again, but we tried something new.
Kmonies007
Wow! That's expensive. The mimosa and Bloody Mary are $4.75 every morning. That's some pricey juice!!
That's a good price for Bloody Mary's! Tell me more! Where on the ship do they serve them and what time in the morning?! Thank you
Kmonies007 said:
Sorry should've specified I'm on the Magic over New Years! Thank you
It's available on my January cruise. $38/person - two alcoholic drinks only plus non-alcoholic and 30 minutes in length. Not worth it IMO. The other tastings are much better for the price. For $38 I can buy a couple of glasses of champagne which is probably what I'll do; even the 1 hour champagne tasting on embarkation day is $38/person. Maybe if it was half that price, I'd consider it.
As recently as May, they were half price before noon. The Promenade Lounge will have them. I'm guessing you can get them elsewhere as well.
Pool bar had the 1/2 price Bloody Marys and Mimosas before 12 on the Dream in September but they weren't really advertised I just asked.
Only 30 minutes? Seems rushed
This is a crazy price for what you get. Those juices must be mad overpriced if you buy them separately.
I just looked, it is available for my cruise in 3 weeks, but I'm not a big juice fan; I think I can just get a mimosa and save some of the $. I do want to do some tastings but all the ones I wanted were gone when I was booking (silver); hopefully next year when I go on the Fantasy as gold I can get a couple of those. I just have to "settle" for a mixology class this time.
I just booked my stuff for my cruise as a gold and everything was available! something to look forward to.
I booked wine tasting, mixology and liquor and chocolate. Wanted to book more but also need to be sober sometimes!

Blunkett row husband: I'll fight for my family | Daily Mail Online
Blunkett row husband: I'll fight for my family
Last updated at 15:26 29 November 2004
The husband of David Blunkett's former lover said today he would fight for his family, despite press claims that the couple's two children are not his.
The marriage of Stephen Quinn, 60, and his wife Kimberly, 43, is under huge strain after her three-year affair with the Home Secretary.
It has been reported that the couple's two-year-old son, William, and Mrs Quinn's unborn child have been fathered by Mr Blunkett.
Outside the couple's home near Park Lane, Mayfair, central London, Mr Quinn replied "Yes" when asked if he would fight to save his family.
"I love my wife, I love my family, I'd do anything to look after them," Mr Quinn said.
Relations between Mr Blunkett and Mrs Quinn, publisher of The Spectator magazine, has soured considerably since their split in August.
Mr Blunkett has been accused of abusing his position by fast-tracking a visa application of the Quinn family nanny, Leoncia Casalme.
The Home Secretary last night set up an independent investigation into the claims.
Mr Quinn also said his seven-months pregnant wife was ill, resting in bed and would not be speaking to waiting reporters.

Ask Arlene about diet solutions
Sometimes no diet is the best diet... Ask Arlene What is the best way to diet without sacrificing nutritional needs?
Stop dieting! Eating a balanced diet is the most important concept you have to accept in order for you to make your eating habits a lifestyle. You can lose weight by watching your portion sizes, making good choices of food, and regular exercise. You can eat everything if the quantities are controlled. If you are not comfortable with the amounts you should be eating then you should consult an accredited practising dietitian. I have sample menus on my website www.arlenesway.com.au. Eating well together with a regular exercise regime will result in you losing those extra kilos without being nutritionally depleted. All food groups should be included. Forget fad diets – they may offer quick results but they are not lasting outcomes that you can sustain. You have to be organised with purchasing your food and cooking regularly. You will certainly be eating less than you are eating now, but you should not feel deprived because you can have six small meals a day so you never feel starving as well as regular 'treats'. Nothing is off limits as long as you plan for it. You can eat anywhere, whether you are eating at home, out in a restaurant, or at a friend's house – you only have to watch your portions and make sure you are sitting down, eat slowly and enjoy your food – eat mindfully. If you read my book 'The 10 Commandments for Losing Weight' it allows you to enjoy your food as part of a balanced lifestyle, which includes healthy amounts of food, exercise, sleep, work and recreation. One important message is to restore balance to your life and you will feel happier and healthier, and you will be able to get your eating under control.
Will I have limitations on my diet after gastric bypass surgery?
Yes you will have to be cautious in your eating habits after gastric bypass surgery. Initially after the surgery and then you will have to maintain better eating habits as a lifestyle. Eating the right foods in the right amounts will ensure your success in losing weight and keeping it off following surgery. Staying physically active will also help you maintain your weight loss. These recommendations provide you with important information to guide your food and activity choices after surgery. Your surgeon, nurse or dietitian should give you specific guidelines regarding what and when to eat and how to stay physically active.
Following surgery, you typically progress through different phases. Every individual progresses at a different pace and some individuals may need to stay in one phase longer than others. The table below briefly explains the phases and their timeframe. However, your surgeon may advance you at a different pace or have you skip certain phases.
Phase Diet Duration
1 Clear liquid 2 to 4 days
2 Full liquid 4 days to 3 weeks
3 Pureed 2 weeks to 1 month
4 Soft 1 month to 6 to 8 weeks
5 Normal Begin at week 8. This will be your lifelong way of eating.
Plan ahead for the types and amounts of food you will eat after your surgery. You will only be able to eat very small amounts initially (1 to 2 tablespoons), so it's important to choose your foods wisely. The following tips will help you get enough nutrition from a limited amount of food. Eventually your stomach will be able to hold ½ to ¾ cup of food; however, the same guidelines apply. Drink liquids 30 minutes before meals or 30 minutes after meals, not during meals. Eat protein first. It is essential that you get enough protein for healing, nutrition and to prevent loss of lean muscle mass. You will need a minimum of 50 grams of protein every day. Protein is found in many foods. Eat balanced meals. A balanced meal includes vegetables, fruits and whole grains. These foods are higher in fibre, which will help keep you feeling satisfied. Eating foods in this category can also reduce constipation. Eat three meals each day. Avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat. Eat foods with less than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Choose low-fat foods with 3 grams of fat or less per serving. Take small bites and chew food well. The outlet from your new stomach pouch is very small. Foods that are not chewed well may block this area, which causes nausea and/or vomiting. Eat slowly. Eating quickly doesn't allow time for your brain to signal you are satisfied, so you are likely to eat more than you need. You should spend at least 20 minutes eating at each meal. Avoid eating at the computer or in front of the TV. Sit at the table so you can pay attention to your body's hunger cues. Stop eating when you feel satisfied. If you continue to eat after you feel
satisfied, you may experience nausea, vomiting and/or pain, in addition to stretching your stomach pouch. Drink at least 6 to 8 cups of non-calorie liquids between meals.

Abstract
Background: Drug abuse is a global public health problem that is associated with increased psychiatric morbidity and mortality. Objectives: This study assessed the prevalence of drug abuse and its relationship with problematic Internet use (PIU), suicidality, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem among high school adolescents. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study involving 1304 Nigerian high school adolescents recruited through the multistage stratified sampling method. The participants completed a study-specific sociodemographic questionnaire, a 10-item Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST), Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire-Short Form-6 (PIU-SF-6), the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview Suicidality module, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Results: The prevalence rate of drug abuse was 49.8%. Adolescents who abused drugs had higher mean scores on PIU, suicidality, depression, and anxiety scales and lower scores on the self-esteem scale. All these variables cumulatively accounted for approximately 22% of the total variance in the DAST score. Conclusions: Drug abuse is still prevalent among Nigerian adolescents, with a significant association with PIU, suicidality, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. All these variables may provide the template for psychological and social interventions that are specifically targeted to the management of drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents.

Introduction
Drug abuse is a global public health problem, with disturbing figures among adolescents.[1],[2],[3] Studies from developed and developing countries indicate that more than half of the students enrolled in high school engage in drug abuse, regarded as harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including alcohol and other illicit drugs.[1],[2],[3],[4] Some of the identified drivers for drug abuse among adolescents include peer pressure, experimentation, and easy access to substances, alongside the desire to reduce stress and cope with life pressures.[5],[6]
The differences observed in the prevalence rates of adolescent drug abuse across countries may be attributed to the differences in sample characteristics and the variations in sociocultural factors.[7] Globally, it is estimated that 9% of the adolescent population aged 12 years and older are classified as drug dependent.[8] In Europe, up to 58% of adolescents engage in substance abuse, whereas in Asia, about 40% of adolescents are reported to abuse various psychoactive substances.[9],[10] Findings from a systematic review and a meta-analytic report of 27 studies across sub-Saharan Africa indicate that the overall prevalence of drug abuse among adolescents is 41.6%.[11] In Nigeria, available statistics indicate a relatively high prevalence rate of adolescent drug abuse, ranging from 32.9% to 69.3%.[3],[12],[13],[14]
The abuse of drugs among adolescents is associated with risky sexual behaviors, poor academic performance, criminal behaviors, and an increased risk of developing a mental disorder.[15],[16] Other psychosocial factors associated with adolescent drug abuse in developed countries include problematic Internet use (PIU), suicidality, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.[17],[18],[19],[20],[21] PIU is the inability of an individual to exert self-control in terms of involvement in activities on the Internet, thereby resulting in marked impairments in psychosocial functioning.[22],[23] Literature shows that PIU does not exist independently but often coexists with other psychopathological conditions such as drug abuse, particularly among adolescents.[17]
Drug abuse increases the odds of suicidal behaviors among adolescents.[18],[24] It is one of the high-ranking risk factors associated with adolescent suicidal behaviors and associated mortality.[25],[26] This is in concert with the existing body of evidence that showed a linkage between high scores on depressive symptom evaluating instruments and adolescents who engage in drug abuse.[20] It has been suggested that depressive symptoms worsen with increasing drug abuse among adolescents.[27] Higher levels of anxiety symptoms have also been reported among adolescents who abuse drugs.[21] Furthermore, substance abuse, particularly alcohol, is associated with a reduced sense of self-worth (i.e., self-esteem) among adolescents.[19] One plausible reason for this association is that adolescents with low self-esteem engage in drug abuse as a means of coping with their sense of poor self-worth.[28]
There is a dearth of studies regarding the psychological factors associated with drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents. An extensive electronic literature search revealed that most of the Nigerian studies of drug abuse among adolescents were focused primarily on epidemiological descriptions of prevalence rates and the types of the substance of abuse.[6],[29] In addition, other gaps emerging from existing literature on drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents include relatively small sample sizes,[13],[14] the related social settings,[30] the parental /guardian factors,[31] and awareness about the risk of substance use.[32] To the knowledge of the authors of this current study, no study in Nigeria has examined among adolescents the relationship of drug abuse with psychological or mental health-related variables such as PIU, suicidality, anxiety, and depression.
Therefore, the aim of this study, apart from evaluating the current prevalence rate of drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents, is to assess the strength and directions of the relationship of PIU, suicidality, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem with drug abuse. Ultimately, this study will not only contribute to the current data regarding the prevalence of drug use among the Nigerian adolescent population but also enable the identification of the psychological factors that can prospectively play a role in the development of psychological interventions for the management of drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents.
Materials and Methods
This study was conducted in Osogbo, the capital city of Osun State, in Southwestern Nigeria. The city has a total of 15 public senior secondary schools. Using a balloting approach, we randomly selected six of the senior high schools. After the selection of the senior secondary schools, we subsequently adopted a multistage stratified sampling recruitment method to obtain our sample. In the first stage, three classrooms from the three arms of the senior secondary classes (I, II, and III; the equivalent of Grade 10 to 12) were randomly selected from each high school (yielding nine classrooms from each school and a total of 54 classrooms from the six schools). Second, using a balloting method, we selected 25 students per classroom, producing a total of 1350 senior high school adolescents. What we did in the balloting method used to select the senior secondary schools and the number of students to be recruited per classroom was to write out the names of the 15 public senior high schools and the names of the students in the selected classrooms individually on different pieces of paper that were folded (in order not to make the names of the schools and students visible). This was done separately for the schools and the students. It is from this pool of folded papers that the six schools and the 25 students per classroom were selected.
Measures
We prepared a study-specific sociodemographic questionnaire to collect respondents’ sociodemographic variables such as age, gender, and family settings.
The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) is a 10-item self-reported brief measure that provides information on the abuse of nonmedical and nonprescribed drugs.[33] The DAST-10 has been used to assess the abuse of these drugs among outpatients in other African countries.[34] The 10-item DAST is an abridged version of the 28-item instrument.[33] The higher the cumulative score on the DAST, the greater the likelihood that the respondent is abusing one or more drugs. A score of 0 implies no drug abuse, a total score of 1–2 means a low level of drug abuse, 3–5 signifies a moderate level of drug abuse, 6–8 indicates a substantial level of drug abuse, and 9 to 10 indicates a severe level of drug abuse. Therefore, in this study, any respondent with a minimum score of 1 was recorded to be engaged in drug abuse. The DAST-10 cumulative score is further classified into the categories of actions that should be taken; a score of 0 indicates no action needed, 1–5 suggests monitoring and further investigations, and a total score of 6–10 reflects the need for intensive assessment.[33]
The difficulties related to Internet use were evaluated with the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire-Short Form-6 (PIU-SF-6).[35] This shortened version was extracted from the original 18-item version.[36] The three dimensions (Obsessions, Neglect, and Control) in the original version, which has six items per dimension, were retained in the short-form version, which has two items per dimension. Each item on the three dimensions of the PIUQ-SF-6 is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from “never”rated 1 to “always/almost always”rated 5. The aggregate score on the whole instrument ranged from 6 to 30. Higher scores reflect more severe PIU. A cutoff score of 15 was used to determine those with problematic Internet use.[35] The PIU-SF-6 has been validated among Nigerian adolescents.[37]
The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) is designed as a brief structured interview for the major Axis I psychiatric diagnoses in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10).[38] The MINI Suicidality module was used to objectively assess suicidality among the respondents. There are nine questions in this module labeled C1 to C9. Questions C1 to C8 assess suicidality-related events in the previous one month, whereas question C9 assesses lifetime suicide attempts.[38] MINI has been used in diverse clinical and nonclinical populations in Nigeria.[39],[40]
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-item scale with two subscales (each consists of seven items). It quantitatively assesses anxiety and depressive symptoms.[41] Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0–3). The cumulative score on each subscale ranges from 0 to 21. Its psychometric properties have been reported to be adequate in different populations in Nigeria.[42]
The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) is a self-worth evaluating 10-item questionnaire.[43] Each item is scored on a four-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Items 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 on the scale are reverse scored. Higher scores reflect a greater sense of self-worth. Satisfactory reliability and validity have been demonstrated among Nigerian adolescents.[44]
Procedure
The approval for the study protocol was obtained from the Specialist Hospital Health Research Ethics Committee of the Hospitals’ Management Board, Osogbo in Osun State. The education authorities in charge of the schools where the study was conducted also gave ethical approval for the study. The high school students excluded were those older than 19 years, those with a current or previous history of a psychiatric disorder, those who refused to assent, and those whose parents or guardians refused consent. All the senior high school students gave their assent. The adolescents went home with a study-specific parental/guardians consent form that explained the objectives of the study. Their parents or guardians were requested to append their signatures on the form as an indication of their consent. Out of the 1350 adolescents recruited for the study, 46 parents/guardians refused to give their consent for the recruitment of their children into the study. Hence, study measures from 1304 respondents were available for analysis (response rate of approximately 97%).
Statistical analysis
Statistical analyses were performed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, 21st version. Descriptive statistics such as the mean (standard deviation) and frequency (percentages) were utilized in depicting the students’ sociodemographic variables and scores on the DAST-10 and the other study measures. The dependent variable was drug abuse as measured with the DAST-10, whereas the other study measures were the exploratory variables. The directions and strengths of the relationship between DAST-10 score and the other measures were evaluated by applying correlational analyses. The t-test was utilized to compare the mean scores of respondents who abused drugs and did not abuse drugs. A multivariate linear analysis was conducted to identify selected sociodemographic and exploratory variables that significantly predicted the DAST-10 scores among the respondents. The level of statistical significance was set at a p-value less than 0.05, and all tests were two-tailed.
Results
Sociodemographic and study measure characteristics of the respondents
As shown in [Table 1], the mean age of the respondents was 15.77 (SD 1.36) years. Females constituted 51% (665) of the respondents. The majority (89.8%) of them had their parents living together. The prevalence of drug abuse was 49.8% (i.e., those who scored 1 and above on the DAST-10). The mean scores of the DAST-10, PIU-SF-6, MINI Suicidality module, RSES, and HADS-Depression and HADS-Anxiety subscales were 1.59 (SD 2.17), 15.44 (SD 5.42), 4.52 (SD 8.97), 17.01 (SD 2.17), 7.22 (SD 3.49), and 8.52 (SD 3.80), respectively.

Correlational analysis between DAST-10 and other study measures
[Table 2] shows that there were statistically significant positive correlations (Pearson’s) between DAST-10 and PIU-SF-6 (rp = 0.111, P < 0.001), MINI Suicidality (rp = 0.363, P < 0.001), HADS-Depression (rp = 0.231, P < 0.001), as well as HADS-Anxiety (rp = 0.363, P < 0.001). In addition, DAST-10 had a statistically significant negative correlation with RSES (rp = -0.143, P < 0.001) and age (rp = -0.057, P < 0.001). The Cronbach’s alpha values of the DAST-10, PIU-SF-6, MINI Suicidality module, RSES, HADS-Anxiety, and HADS-Depression were 0.79, 0.77, 0.72, 0.70, 0.69, and 0.71, respectively.

Comparison of the mean DAST-10 score with other study measures mean scores between the respondents with and without drug abuse
As demonstrated in [Table 3], the respondents who abused drugs compared with those who did not (DAST-10 score of one and above compared with a score of zero) had higher mean scores regarding PIU, suicidality, depression, and anxiety symptoms and lower self-esteem scores [Table 3].

Discussion
This is a cross-sectional study that examined the correlates of drug abuse, in addition to the assessment of the current prevalence of drug abuse among Nigerian senior high school adolescents. The prevalence of drug abuse was 49.8%. This finding is similar to what was reported in an Ethiopian adolescent study (47.9%).[45] Our observation is slightly higher than the findings of a systematic review of 27 studies across sub-Saharan Africa, which reported a prevalence rate of 41.6%.[11] However, the observed prevalence in our study is much lower than the rate of 66%, which was previously reported four years earlier in the same region where this study was conducted.[3] The reason for the reduced prevalence in our study may be a beneficial offshoot of the regular enlightenment on the hazards of drug abuse that the adolescents in this region of the country have been exposed to through the various media since the study by Ogunsola and Fatusi in 2016.[3] Another plausible reason for the lowered prevalence rate may be the free mental health services provided by the State Government.[46] The disparity noted between our study and the earlier one could also be due to methodological differences. It has been suggested that the contrasts in the prevalence of substance abuse in different communities may be due to different sample characteristics, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic environments.[7]
Substance use is associated with serious mental health problems among adolescents.[9] In our study, substance abuse was positively correlated with PIU, suicidality, depression, and anxiety symptoms. It has been reported that drug abuse independently increases suicidal behaviors and PIU among adolescents.[17],[18] This could be due to fact that drug abuse erodes judgment, impairs impulse control, and interrupts neurotransmitter pathways, thereby leading to behaviors of disinhibition.[26] In addition, there is an exacerbation in the severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms as substance use increases.[27],[47]
Self-esteem is the perception of one’s worthiness.[48] Low self-esteem makes adolescents view themselves as inadequate, worthless, unlovable, and incompetent.[49] We noted that drug abuse negatively correlated with self-esteem (i.e., those who abuse drugs have lower self-esteem). This is consistent with a Pakistani study that reported an association between drug abuse and low self-esteem in a sample of older adolescents.[50] It has been postulated that adolescents with low self-esteem engage in substance use as a way of coping with negative feelings regarding themselves.[28],[49]
In multiple linear regression analysis, drug abuse was significantly associated with age, PIU, suicidality, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. All the psychological variables along with the age of the respondents in our study collectively explained 22% of the variance in the dependent variable (DAST-10). Studies from developed countries have reported that PIU among adolescents is a major contributor to the variances regarding psychoactive substance abuse among the adolescent population.[17],[51] Some authors have suggested that substance abuse and PIU have similar behavioral characteristics.[49],[52] The results of our regression analysis seem to show that there is a need for more studies to investigate other variables that may potentially contribute to drug abuse among Nigerian adolescents.
This study is not without some limitations. First, the adolescents were recruited from senior high schools in the southwestern region of Nigeria; hence, our findings may not be generalized to adolescents in the other parts of the country. Second, the direction of causality between drug abuse and the other study measures cannot be established due to the cross-sectional nature of the study. In addition, some of our respondents may have been subjected to both recall and reporting bias due to the self-reported nature of some of the study measures. Despite these limitations, the strength of our study is that we recruited a fairly large sample size. Also, this is the first study in Nigeria to examine the relationships between a modestly significant number of psychological variables and psychoactive substance use among the adolescent population.
Conclusions
This study has shown that there is still a relatively high rate of drug abuse among high school adolescents in Nigeria. Drug abuse is significantly associated with PIU, suicidality, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Consequently, the study findings contribute to the body of evidence, calling for an intensification of efforts by key stakeholders, government, and nongovernment organizations to reduce the prevalence and burden of drug abuse among high school adolescents through innovative interventions. There is an urgent need for the formulation and implementation of mental health policies that will strengthen school-based mental health services directed towards the identification and provision of support services to adolescents who abuse various psychoactive substances. Services provided under school-based mental health services may include screening for the related psychological variables identified in this study among the adolescents.
Recommendations
Need for the provision of mental health services, specifically for addressing the needs of senior high school adolescents. These services may play an important role in screening for drug use and the design of public health interventions geared toward the prevention of drug use.
Mainstreaming psychoeducation into the curricula and daily routines observed in schools, as a strategy to mitigate some of the risk factors for substance abuse.

Style: Crimson And Comfort In Valentino's Summer Menswear - Adam4Adam's Blog
on January 30, 2018 at 9:25 am
(Photo credits : Valentino)
Valentino recently released its menswear collection for the Summer of 2018 in their stores, and the prevailing theme was comfort and crimson, with strong inspiration taken from sportswear. Fronting the summer campaign is actor, musician, and openly gay ex-Youtuber and singer Troye Sivan.
In a couple of videos released on the Valentino Instagram, Sivan is shown dancing in a vibrant red tracksuit as well as in a leather jacket, a gray top, and black track pants. Other photos of the star show him in a white VLTN shirt and black track pants.
Aside from the inspiration taken from sports, the red Valentino logo was also very prominent, broken only by a pair of white stripes.
Join the sportswear revolution with the latest men's #ValentinoSS18 #AdvCampaign. Watch the video starring @troyesivan and feel the energy of a new year and a new season Location: Pier 59 Studio, New York Photographers: @inezandvinoodh Creative direction: #PierpaoloPiccioli

A calendar spread is used for taking advantage of the difference in different delivery month prices as opposed to speculating on the future price. In other words, the difference in the two delivery month prices is the driver for profits as opposed to a rise or decline in price. Calendar spreads are also known as horizontal spreads.
With that said, it is first important to properly choose the profitable two delivery months for the spread. This is done with proper research or common sense.
When choosing the spread for short term interest rates, for instance, there are certain months that fare better. With this spread March delivery should be the short leg. The reason for this is simply the maturity of the short term interest rate products causes a temporary relative price weakness as the delivery date approaches, coinciding with the maturity date.
Finally, for options, it is also important to check the analytics; delta and theta, before making the spread. This is because certain options, even though in the right delivery date, will still not perform well if the wrong strike prices are chosen. Generally, the short leg should be out of the money.

The study’s resulting polymers were not RNA but could be have been an important intermediate step in the early evolution of RNA. For building blocks, the researchers used base molecules referred to as “proto-nucleobases,” highly suspected to be precursors of nucleobases, main components that transport genetic code in today’s RNA.
Making RNA or DNA using their actual nucleobases in the lab without the aid of the enzymes of living cells that usually do this job is more than a herculean task. Thus, although RNA and DNA are ubiquitous on Earth now, their evolution on pre-life Earth would appear to have been an anomaly requiring erratic convergences of extreme conditions.
By contrast, the Georgia Tech researchers’ model of chemical evolution holds that precursor nucleobases self-assembled easily to into ancestral prototypes — that were polymer-like and referred to as assemblies — which later evolved into RNA.
“We would call these ‘proto-nucleobases’ or ‘ancestral nucleobases,'” Hud said. “For our overall model of chemical evolution, we’re saying that these proto-nucleobases, which self-assemble into these long strands, could have been part of a very early stage before modern nucleobases were incorporated.”
One main suspected proto-nucleobase in this experiment — and in previous experiments on the possible the evolution of RNA — was triaminopyrimidine (TAP). Cyanuric acid (CA) was another. The researchers highly suspect TAP and CA were parts of a proto-RNA.
The chemical bonds that hold together assemblies of the two suspected proto-nucleobases were surprisingly strong but non-covalent, which is akin to connecting two magnets. In RNA the main bonds holding together modern nucleobases are covalent bonds, akin to welding, and enzymes make those bonds in cells today.
A helix can spiral two ways, left-handed or right-handed. In chemistry, a molecule can also be handed, or chiral, making for “L” or “D” forms of the molecule.
Incidentally, the building blocks of today’s RNA and DNA are all the D form, which make a right-handed helix. Why they evolved like this is still a mystery.
Batches of TAP and CA the researchers started out with produced roughly equal amounts of right and left-handed helices, but something stood out: Whole regions of a batch were biased in one direction and were separate from other regions that spiraled mostly the other way.
“The propensity for the molecules to choose one helical direction was so strong that large regions of the batches were made up predominantly of assemblies that were unidirectionally twisted,” Hud said.
This was surprising because the individual molecules of TAP and CA had no chirality of their own, neither L nor D. Still, the twists had a preferred direction.
The researchers added two more experiments to test how strongly their RNA-like assemblies preferred making one-handed helices.

The 37-year-old worked as an observer for the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) at the 2017 commune elections and his father sat on the party’s executive committee for Stung Trang’s Toul Preah Khlaing commune.
Former opposition leader Sam Rainsy, the “acting” president of the CNRP, brought the case to light on his Facebook page in April and claimed the man’s death was a political killing. On May 18, the U.S. issued a statement saying it too had concerns about the circumstances of the death and called for an independent investigation.
Kampong Cham deputy provincial police chief Heng Vuthy said Tuesday that the local authorities were taking the case seriously and had completed their own investigation of the circumstances of the death of Tith Rorn.

Not enough value - Review of Cromwell Manor Historic Inn, Cornwall, NY - TripAdvisor
Not enough value - Cromwell Manor Historic Inn
We paid $245 for the night. The room was cheaply decorated and the towels had that musky smell and were threadbare. The shower? Thankfully the A/C worked. They accommodated our late arrival. The breakfast was poor...frozen key lime shortcake/cupcake followed by a strada style omelet that was overcooked and rubbery. no bread or condiments whatsoever. service was polite.
Overall I felt taken. Not worth the $245. For I got, i would have valued it at the $99 levle.

Pamela is a very talented cook. The breakfasts blew my mind and was way beyond my expectations. She was very personable and offered to help plan our day and made great recommendations. If you visit, I recommend taking the short hike to see the waterfall. Ask Pamela for directions to the nearby trailhead. The Inn is also only a 15 minute drive to nice restaurants along the Hudson river. All the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, but I'd recommend staying in the cottage or in one of the rooms on the upper levels so people entering and leaving the inn won't disturb you.

Thank MeowCooklove
I was very disappointed with the Cromwell Manor. We paid 311 $ for a noisy room (the other guests coming in at midnight were not that loud but the light wooden door did nothing to prevent the noise, and the squeaks from the bed of the couple above were not very pleasant at 7am, not to mention the road which is right next to our window and has quite a lot of cars passing by).
The place is nice overall, the garden is big and nice, rooms were clean, but overall it is significantly overpriced for a relatively normal place to stay.
Breakfast was quite good, but not enough which would deserve the price (cooked pears, followed by bread cooked in a pan with bananas and some fruits).
Ask Julien P about Cromwell Manor Historic Inn
I don't even know where to begin. If this were a roadside motel for $40 a night it might have fulfilled my expectations.
First, the accommodations. I paid $165 for my room. It was thoughtlessly decorated with anything that was "old" and "pink". I understand that this room is the cheapest in the building, but there was no television, the wifi had a password we were not given, and my ikea foam mattress at home is more comfortable (and infinitely less squeaky). The towels in the bathroom were mismatched and threadbare and a previous guest's soap was still in the 70's shower. Speaking of the shower, it was a mere misty sprinkle with a constantly fluctuating temperature. My room was the ghetto of the inn. I felt like I was being told that, because it was the cheapest room, I didn't deserve a nice room. No TV for me! I was with a wedding party that completely filled the large house the first night and the house and cottage the second. Surely they can afford new towels, new carpets, and a television for a $165 room?
Next, the breakfast. The first day we were informed that we would have our "breakfast appetizer" first, which turned out to be a strawberry shortcake cupcake. It was okay, but it was very confusing. We were then given a plate of eggs, bacon, and potatoes with a dry half piece of toast. The potatoes were amazing. Everything else? I just kept wondering how much of nightly rate was allocated to the breakfast. Our second morning our "appetizer" was a poached pear with the same whipped cream that was on the shortcake, followed by french toast. It was hardly a balanced breakfast... sugar on sugar.
Finally, and the real inspiration for this review, the service. I have never met people less naturally inclined to hospitality. The owner seemed cool, at best. The wedding party arrived on Friday evening and began hanging out on the front porch. No one was drunk, but some people had some beers and a few were smoking (which, given the presence of an ashtray, seemed acceptable). We were finally made uncomfortable by the awareness of the innkeeper and her cook (and the cook's daughter) standing and staring at us through the glass front door. Not saying hello or seeing if we needed anything, simply watching us. The bride finally got uncomfortable enough to go speak with her, to see if there was something she needed. There wasn't.
After that first night we were asked if there were going to be "many more bottles" (again, no drunkenness, simply pizzas and beers on the back patio shared by 15 or so guests) because they didn't have room in the recycling bin. Which, honestly, doesn't sound like it should be the guest's problem. The night with the pizza was also a bit stressful because we didn't know what to do with all of our pizza boxes. We weren't directed with what to do with trash or recycling, so we simply left them stacked and hope the innkeeper knew that we would have been happy to put them somewhere more appropriate.
They didn't want us to use the back door that opened onto the patio, which would be fine if they informed everyone at the same time or even hung up a sign (or, maybe fixed whatever was wrong with the door), but, instead it resulted in everyone opening the backdoor and being told not to use it one at a time. By the time it was my turn there was little warmth left in the woman's voice and she actually touched my hand and closed the door to stop me.
On Saturday, in the midst of anxiously trying to get ready for the wedding many of us were repeatedly asked how many people were going to be at breakfast the next day. Again, not our responsibility. We booked the place, they have the reservations. Why would they be bothering an anxious bridal party about the next day's breakfast? Again, we were observed by the whole staff (innkeeper, cleaning ladies, garden) as we all prepared for the wedding. They stood in the parking lot watching us run in and out of the inn trying to pack up and go, but saying nothing. There was no "good luck!" or "congratulations" or "you look beautiful!"... they stood far enough away so that they didn't have to say anything to us. Awkward.
Twice, that I know of, the women were overheard talking about our group. Completely unacceptable. Always.
Were we bad guests? I don't know. We tried not to be. We smoked where we were told, we tried to clean up after ourselves, we were nothing but friendly to our hosts. Were we a large and excited group? Sure, but if a large group is too overwhelming maybe have less rooms available. I do know that if someone paid me $165-$380 a night for a room, and filled my entire inn for the weekend, I might not begrudge them a few bottles of beer. We thought at first that perhaps it was because we didn't look like a traditional bed and breakfast crowd (many tattooed and queer among us), but that would go to the root of the real problem: hospitality. I've worked in the hospitality business. Unless someone is truly taking advantage of you or your facilities or treating you in a disrespectful manner you remain generous, helpful, genial, and receptive (and even better you mean it!). You don't act like you are overwhelmed or show that you are tired. They were clearly uncomfortable- whether with us or with their job. Either way, it is unacceptable. Possibly, and most importantly, in this instance, you don't hover or gossip about the people who are your guests.
On a positive note, there was a lovely cleaning lady who did interact very warmly with a number of us and managed not to glare at one of the best men who decided to wear a bridesmaid's dress to breakfast this morning and even laughed along with the rest of us at his ridiculous antics. She was sincere and cheerful and appeared to be enjoying us and her job. True hospitality.
Ask Carrie N about Cromwell Manor Historic Inn
Very helpful Innkeeper!
On my recent two, one-night stays I had a wonderful time relaxing in the grounds of the inn and the surrounding (gorgeous) countryside. Watching the sunset from the meadow behind the inn - with the sounds of birds and the green lushness of nature all around me - felt deeply restorative. The farm store and yard next door was lovely to visit, with home-made delicacies, bee-hive, rabbits, ducks, goats, chickens, horses and pig. My room was comfortable and everything worked. What made the difference and left me with a lasting (excellent) impression of a place well-run was the helpfulness and warmth of the innkeeper. She went over and above to make sure I had everything I could possibly want to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Made me want to recommend her place to all, and really has me wish her the greatest success.
She is working to upgrade the place and in time, it will have more polish and refinement than it does now.
Ask Brenda S about Cromwell Manor Historic Inn
Beautiful house full of charm. Very relaxing overall. And location is great. Lots to do within 15-20 mins drive. Breakfast is awesome as other reviewers have indicated. Definitely looking forward to coming back here again. Stayed in the Canterbury room and loved it.
Room Tip: Canterbury has high ceilings and large windows that look onto the front porch. The private bath is down a short hallway which is private as well - liked that a lot.

Planning the Swap Rebels campaign! - General Discussion - Autarch Forum
Planning the Swap Rebels campaign!
omer July 10, 2014, 12:27pm #1
After a discussion with my prospective players for my upcoming Barbarian Conqueror King campaign (ACKS Dinosaur & Wizardry AKA Sword & Lizardry), I've had an idea - rather than start the game in the current timeline, i.e. the year 3341 AS, with the City-State of Harat already liberated from its tyrant Sorcerer King and ruled by the slave-rebellion leader Hardun, why not start the game 15 years earlier, in 3326 AS, when the Sorcerer-King still reigns? The PCs will be escaped slaves, or peasant rebels, and will have their chance of participating in Hardun's Army of the Free, possibly ending up as his vassals when they'll reach name level; eventually, after 3341, they might even replace him as the rulers of Harat!
This will give the game a clear conflict to motivate things. This will still be a sandbox, and they can sill amass treasure and power (probably as part of an independent detachment fighting the Sorcerer King's forces). But there will be the backdrop of rebellion against the forces of evil sorcery.
The idea is as follows: early in their travels, the PCs, possibly escaped slaves, will join Hardun's Army of the Free fighting in the Great Servile War against the sorcerer king; they'll be an independent detachment, fighting for the Cause, as well as for gold and glory, detached from the main forces. At the beginning, this will mostly be a guerrilla war. Eventually, especially as the PCs will rise in level and hire mercenaries (or shape escaped or liberated slaves into an army) and grab power locally, and, later on. on a larger scale, as vassals of King Hardun, the Lizardman Gladiator and leader of the rebellion who'll take Harat itself.
Dungeon crawling will be part of this; after all, they'll need money and resources to fund their war, and also they will have to protect locals against Chaos and marauders (who are usually in league with the Sorcerer King).
Points I'll have to watch out for:
I'll have to make sure that while Hardun is the PCs' patron to a degree, they run their own show, and he doesn't steal their limelight. An independent guerrilla band is a solution for this - the PCs will have to walk the fine line between righteous war and banditry, and make their own choices, later run the villages they liberate.
I'm thinking about how to start this campaign. One possibility is for all PCs to be slaves, then let them escape (maybe during an attack on their master's mansion?), but I'm not sure how Mages and other classes who are powerful at level 1 will fare as slaves. Another possibility is to have them recently captured by slavers, then the first adventure would be prison break (and grabbing gear of the slaver guards). Yet another option is start them as villagers and send them on a small adventure, then return to their village to find out most of their friends and families being rounded up by slavers and taken away. In any case, the idea is to start off with a bang to give some motivation. What they do from here on is their choice.
They'll need a home base fairly early. Maybe give them access to a rebel camp with some services, maybe let them liberate a village early on.
TomHudson July 10, 2014, 3:27pm #2
If your players all buy into the premise, sounds like fun.
Given the "all PCs slaves" idea, I'd be tempted to run a level-0 funnel, escape to a rebel hideout in the swamp, then skip forwards a few months if it feels necessary to account for any training in class abilities.
omer July 10, 2014, 8:15pm #3
They're converting over from D&D 3.5E, so the funnel idea might sound a bit outlandish for them, but I'll suggest this nonetheless.
archon July 11, 2014, 2:54am #4
omer July 11, 2014, 6:44am #5
Additional comments and input would be welcome.
omer July 11, 2014, 7:25am #6
The main point here I'll have to handle delicately is to preserve the sandbox and players' freedom and avoid a railroad. So what I'm thinking of doing is:
They'll be provided with motivation (either as escaped slaves or as villagers whose friends and families were enslaved). They could follow it, or ignore it. Or become bandits.
They'll be provided with background events, i.e. the growing rebellion, and will be able to participate in them, or ignore them. Or raid Barrowmaze.
If they do take part in the rebellion, eventually they'll be granted regional command (i.e. nobility and local rulership) once Hardun grabs Harat, as his vassals.
Once Hardun grabs Harat, he won't adventure much, while the PCs will probably do so, so eventually they'll surpass him in level, and if they want, they could depose of him and take power over the entire city-state. Or ignore him and go invade another city, probably with his blessings.
omer July 12, 2014, 7:34am #7
Right now I'm thinking about how to start this. One option is the funnel; but I'm not sure if the players will like it (too sharp a transition from 3.5E). The other options are:
They were all slaves, and the first adventure would be to escape, possibly while their masters' stronghold is under attack (by the rebels? by another noble? by monsters?). The main problem here is that I'm not sure if powerful level 1 characters would be slaves; maybe warrior types (as gladiators) but what about Mages and various priests?
They were all rounded up recently by slavers working for the sorcerer king. First adventure would be a prison break.
They're villagers. They go on a simple first adventure, then return home to find their village ransacked by slavers (under the sorcerer king's Banner of the Tentacled Eye), their families and friends mostly gone. They have to fight a small slaver garrison, and then they'll have a strong motivation to free their friends and family and take revenge.
I'm leaving towards #3, as revenge is a major motivation. Of course, they'll be free to ignore that motivation and go being bandits/raiding Barrowmaze etc.
Also, they'll need a base of operations; I'll need to find a way to introduce them to either a liberated town or a rebel camp… One hex from Barrowmaze, possibly
Beragon July 12, 2014, 10:27pm #8
How about a combination of 2 & 3?
1_ They go on a simple first adventure
2_ On the return home, there is an attempt to round them up by slavers working for the sorcerer king.
3a_ If they're captured, they're led back home to their ransacked village and must try a prison break.

Urban Meyer Says He Did Not Condone Domestic Abuse Or Lie At Big Ten Media Days In Statement | Eleven Warriors
Urban Meyer Says He Did Not Condone Domestic Abuse Or Lie At Big Ten Media Days In Statement
By Dan Hope on August 31, 2018 at 10:59 am @dan_hope
Suspended Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer released a new statement on Friday morning, stating that "there have been a number of things reported in the media about President Drake's decision and the Investigative Team's Report that have not been correct and must be clarified."
Meyer said he wanted to clarify that he "was not suspended because I knew about or condoned (former wide receivers coach) Zach Smith's alleged domestic abuse," and also that he "did not lie at Big Ten Media Days." His fault, he said in his statement, "was in not taking action sooner against a troubled employee about his work-related issues."
Meyer cites Ohio State's investigative report in his statement, as the investigative report concluded "that if [Coach Meyer] ever came to learn or believe that Zach Smith had physically abused his wife, Coach Meyer would have fired Zach Smith or any other coach on the spot." He also cited the investigative team's findings that "he clearly misspoke and made misstatements" at Big Ten Media Days, but "did not, in our view, deliberately lie," as he "was closely focused on erroneous reports that Zach Smith had been arrested on felony charges in 2015."
Meyer also cited Mary Jo White's reasoning for his suspension, as she said "The investigation identified multiple other examples of inappropriate conduct by Zach Smith while employed as an assistant football coach, some known by Urban Meyer and/or (athletic director) Gene Smith and others on the football staff. Coach Meyer and Athletic Director Smith's efforts to help Zach Smith overcome his personal issues went too far in allowing him to remain as an employee in the face of repeated misconduct."
Meyer is suspended for Ohio State's first three games of the season, but will allowed to return to the team on Monday, following Saturday's season opener against Oregon State, to resume coaching the team, with the exception of the following two game days against Rutgers and TCU.

Overwatch League Grand Finals Tickets, Date And Teams. - Game Life
The Overwatch League Grand Finals is approaching next week, and here is everything you need to know about tickets, dates, and teams.
In less than a week, two teams will compete for a grand prize of $1,100,000 and the Overwatch League Championship Trophy. The two teams competing at the grand finals are the San Francisco Shock and Vancouver Titans. The Overwatch Grand Finals will take place at Wells Fargo Center in Philidelphia on Sunday, September 29 at 3:00pm Eastern Time.
Both teams have been dominant in multiple metas with different sets of heroes, so to say they haven't earned their spot in the finals would be an understatement. Their players racked up a vast collection of awards, and even those who didn't have proven their worth with their performances onstage. This will be a grueling matchup with back-and-forth swings that will put both teams on the brink of defeat. The Grand Finals format is based on the loser's picks, and Vancouver Titans haven't lost a single control map this postseason. For the San Francisco Shock, it will be an uphill battle that they will fully tackle this upcoming weekend.
Tickets for the Overwatch League event has sold out, and fans are looking everywhere to find tickets. Although there are places like local marketplace sites like Craigslists and even eBay, you would need to be careful where you're purchasing your tickets. One of the more reliable places would be the Overwatch subreddit where users post if they want to buy or sell tickets. Although the moderator for the post states that "this is not an official way to get tickets", given the options out there it might be your best. For those interested in interacting in the subreddit for Overwatch League Grand Finals tickets, the moderator states that you're "You are solely responsible for any for any losses you incur due to erroneous or fraudulent transactions in connection with your use of this thread."
The location of the Grand Finals is:
How To Watch The Overwatch League Grand Finals?

2018's God of War may be gaming's new mascot for things we didn't know we needed. Old school Kratos was almost adorable in his blind rage against the familiar faces of Greek mythology. It didn't just work despite the fact that he was an underdeveloped protagonist, it worked because he was an underdeveloped protagonist. The thrilling, albeit simple character suited the thrilling, albeit simple gameplay. This new God of War takes that foundation and keeps it intact while simultaneously uprooting the entire thing to start from scratch. It may be the smoothest and most successful franchise overhaul in the history of gaming, a medium that somehow manages to love remakes and reboots more than its Hollywood counterpart. The praise for God of War 4, or PS4, or 2018, or just God of War (whatever you've been calling it), has been as universal as it is earned. So rather than just review the game, because my feedback may become tediously positive, we'll also be taking a look into the secret ingredients that land such a historically memorable reception.
'Avengers: Infinity War' Is a Pending Miracle
Avengers: Infinity War has arrived! And it's the most hyped movie since…the one Marvel released two months ago. But we're back in Wakanda (for a bit) and, from way back to 2008's Iron Man, all of the MCU's tirelessly impressive work has led to this very moment in cinematic history. It's a fun legacy, but how was the movie? How many fragile childhoods did Disney ruin this time? Is Infinity War a fitting season finale for this franchise?

Kristen Bell Congratulates Husband Dax Shepard On 14th Sober Bday | 101.3 KDWB
Kristen Bell Congratulates Husband Dax Shepard On 14th Sober Bday
By @ColtRadio Sep 6, 2018
Kristen Bell is so happy for her husband Dax Shepard.
In an amusing and tear-inducing Instagram post written Saturday (September 1), the Frozen star did the honors of congratulating Shepard on his 14th sober anniversary.
"To the man mocked me when in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy, who wore a baby Bjorn for 2 straight years to show his girls how to be as adventurous as possible, who held our dear little shakey man pup for 8 hrs straight on the day we had to put him down, I know how much you loved using," Bell writes of her hubby's milestone. "I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw, how hard you worked to live without it."
She continued: "I'm so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story, but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves. … Happy 14th year sobriety birthday."
The Veronica Mars alum, who shares two daughters with the 43-year-old actor, also surprised her hubby with an all-you-can-eat visit to a King's Hawaiin factory, where the comedian happily ate his weight in sweet bread.
In July 2016, Bell became overwhelmed with emotion discussing Shepard's past with addiction on an episode of CBS's Sunday Morning.
"He's a wonderful father. He knows the value of things. He was an addict for many, many years, and he pulled himself out of it, and he's been sober for 11, 12 years now," she reflected. "And he knows how many times he's messed up and how many times he's been really close to losing everything."

The stakes are massive, the pressure unbearable and Mohali is burning with Pak-India fever. As if the contest needed more spice, we now have the small matter of two prime ministers catching up with each other at the ground, looking to de freeze the bilateral dialogue over cricket diplomacy.
The world is seeing the power of India-Pakistan cricket. All those people in positions, who were cold and indifferent towards it, are now queueing up to use the occasion to cash in. The governments, the media and the ICC have been given enough evidence in the past also of the unfathomable strength of Indo-Pak match-up, to know that uncoupling the two can mean a turbulent world and a colorless cricket calendar. Yet, all of them allowed the most passionate cricket duel to get stuck by petty politics.
The game at Mohali can have significant repercussions for the players. A loss will be remembered like a tsunami aftermath. On the other hand, a win can, like a wedding video, linger on the minds for eternity. A performance against India is never forgotten and that’s such a strong point to motivate the players and deflect pressure. This game is all about nerves and who jangles them first. The greater the wait the higher the anxiety and it’s been a long break for both teams.
Listening to cricket pundits on channels, calling home to impress the folks that all is under control and filling the fans with high hopes must be taking a toll on the system. The players would be desperate to go out in the middle to settle the racket in the mind and settle the issue on the field.
People fear the Indian crowd and how their pressure will play up on the players. From playing in India I know that the one sided pro India crowd can in fact give you a high because you are fighting them against the odds, and draw from experience the moments when you have beaten them.
It’s such a great feeling when you box them into dead silence, stroke after stroke! I am sure most of our players have sampled that experience and will be motivated to repeat it for their fans.
Captains, at times, worry in normal situations about lack of effort and skill from the team. Afridi will not have any such issues at Mohali. The game gets raised by the players who tend to play above themselves against India. The captain has to remain cool and, in any eventuality, remain dignified. At the end of the day it’s only a game of cricket.
We may or may not win this but our team has certainly won the hearts of the people. Whether they go to Mumbai or Karachi, we need to give them a heroes welcome for they have bonded us together as one!
— The writer is a former Pakistan captain.

How Can India Beat Pakistan?
By Will Davies for The Wall Street Journal
It’s the million dollar question that a billion people are asking: How can India beat Pakistan? Setting aside the obvious answers such as score more runs and get more wickets, there are some key areas where India can gain an advantage over its fiercest rival.
Indian and Pakistani cricket fans with a replica of the Cricket World Cup trophy. Unsettle Shahid Afridi – Pakistan’s captain has been an inspirational presence at this World Cup. He is the tournament’s leading wicket taker, with 21 scalps already to his name, comfortably ahead of the second-top bowler, India’s Zaheer Khan on 17. Afridi oozes charisma but he is prone to tantrums – it’s not uncommon seeing him shouting at teammates when things go wrong in the field, as is all too often the case with Pakistan – so India should try to frustrate him. Afridi is the nerve center of the Pakistan team, and if he is exasperated then negativity will spread to the other players.
Nullify Umar Gul – Afridi may have taken the most wickets, but Gul has been Pakistan’s most lethal pace bowler and looks on top of his game with 14 wickets (joint fifth with South Africa’s Imran Tahir in the tournament rankings). Gul has been so important to Pakistan’s campaign, particularly bearing in mind the team was stripped of two key bowling assets – Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir – ahead of the World Cup. The track at Mohali should favor pace bowlers over spin (will this mean we’ll see the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar?), so the Pakistanis will be heavily reliant on another good showing from Gul, who has been effective with both the new and the old ball. If India’s excellent batsmen can nullify the ever aggressive Gul, Pakistan’s armory will be significantly weakened.
Silence Younis Khan – The big-hitting middle-order batsman has had a relatively quiet World Cup by his standards, scoring 172 runs in six innings, though that includes a 72 against a very fine Sri Lanka. He often saves his best for India so the co-hosts should be on guard if or when he comes to the crease. Out of his six career centuries, three have been made against India, including one at Mohali, the venue for Wednesday’s semifinal. India will do well to keep him contained.
Bat to Potential – India has a wonderful batting lineup but there’s a nagging feeling we haven’t seen the best of it at this World Cup. Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh are among the tournament’s top 10 run scorers, but India’s other batsmen haven’t consistently backed up the trio’s good work. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hasn’t done much at all with the bat – his top score so far is 34 – though he has often come to the crease when his only option was to have a bit of a slog. All the batsmen in this star-studded lineup will need to play at least one great innings if India is to beat Pakistan and go on to win the World Cup final in Mumbai on April 2.
Support Zaheer Khan – India’s bowling was seen as a weakness at the start of this World Cup and it remains a concern. Zaheer Khan has been a revelation but the other pace bowlers need to give him better support. Munaf Patel was targeted by the Australians, particularly Brad Haddin, and it will be interesting to see if India’s coach Gary Kirsten selects him for the semifinal. Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and Ashish Nehra could get a call-up, but both have had their problems this tournament. Left-armer Nehra was hurt in the match against South Africa when he failed to defend 13 runs in the final over, while Sreesanth hasn’t featured since the opening match against Bangladesh when he returned disappointing figures of 0 for 53 from just five overs.
Kamran Akmal – It’s harsh to single out the Pakistani wicket-keeper, but he is prone to lapses that make him look like he has smeared his gloves in butter. Akmal put in a much improved performance in the quarterfinal against the West Indies, but India will be hoping he has another bad day at the office and gives the hosts a few reprieves.
Ignore the hype – Ok, that’s like telling a skydiver to relax and enjoy the view after his parachute has failed, but India must try to focus on the task at hand and not get carried away by the enormity of this match and the weight of expectation from a billion or so fans.
And how can Pakistan beat India?
Hide Sachin Tendulkar’s bat.
Also, Pakistan needs to silence the home crowd. The stadium in Mohali is small, with capacity for only 27,500 spectators, but they’ll be so loud it’ll seem like there are 10 times that many people. If Pakistan gets some early wickets or an early batting partnership, the home crowd will become restless and that will put India under pressure. Pakistan has the quality and talent to beat the best in the world, but it’s the kind of side that needs momentum and confidence. That will come if the team unsettles India early in the match.
Still, hiding Tendulkar’s bat wouldn’t be a bad tactic. And while they’re at it, they should probably take Sehwag’s and Yuvraj’s too.

India vs Pakistan – much more than just a game
By Anand Philar for Sify
With one stroke, India banished the ghosts of the 2003 final and the fantastic win at Motera virtually ended an era of Aussie dominance. Earlier this year, Ponting’s men lost the Ashes and now the World Cup, but like all great players, Punter left an indelible mark on the tournament with a century in what probably was his last CWC game.
While we rejoice the Indian win, let us show some grace and salute the Aussies for their achievements on the field that, sadly, has been sullied by the behaviour of some of the players. The sheer outpouring of emotions by Yuvraj and Raina after the winning boundary hit was indicative of the value the Indian team attaches to any win against the Aussies. Yes, it is always special to beat a top side even if it is on its way down.
India vs Australia: Turning point and Top performers
If anybody thought Australia are the favourites to win the Cup, then such presumption was based on the team’s track record of three consecutive triumphs, two of them under Ponting’s captaincy. As it turned out, pace, hitherto Australia’s biggest weapon, was unable to deliver and the absence of a quality spinner, much less a pair of them, eventually hurt them far more than their opponents.
On a Motera pitch that was on the slower side and assisting spin, the Aussies went at the Indians with a bevy of fast bowlers hoping to exploit the well-known weakness against the rising delivery. It was a ploy that boomeranged on the Aussies whose lone specialist spinner Krejza was just about club standard.
The fact that the three Aussie slow bowlers Krejza, Clarke and Hussey, sent down only 17 overs as against 33 by their Indian counterparts accurately reflects the difference in approach of the two teams. I feel that proved to be the decisive factor.
I am sure, Ponting would have given his arm to have a Shane Warne bowling during the Yuvraj-Raina partnership that eventually turned the game around for India or for that matter a Hayden or Gilchrist to light up their fragile batting.
India end Australia`s 12-year reign to reach semis
So, having lost to the two top sub-continental sides, Pakistan (in the league phase) and India, the Aussies return home well and truly beaten, leaving the two neighbours in a face-off at Mohali next week.
Although the Pakistanis also have beaten the Aussies, the Indian win came under far greater pressure and in a knock-out situation that offered no safety net. As such, I would rate the Motera win much higher than the one in Colombo where the Aussies fell for 176 to Pakistani spinners.
Of course, all that is history now that India and Pakistan clash at Mohali in a game that can be equated to a Brazil vs Argentina football game in terms of interest, rivalry and of course, the immense pressure on the teams to deliver.
For all that, I will still back India who I feel are better equipped than Pakistan, be it in batting or bowling with the teams being on par at fielding. The spin quotient virtually gets negated since it is a staple diet for the rival batsmen while it is not as if the two teams have a Lee or a Tait or a Johnson in their ranks to trouble anyone with searing pace. It is India’s superior batting line-up that could well tilt the scales.
Further, it will also boil down to the collective character and resilience to withstand the pressure of expectations. I have covered more than my share of Indo-Pak sporting encounters in some of the major sports to say that the levels of passion and emotions among the rival players defy words. You have to be in it to know it.
Since the rivalry between the two neighbours transcends sports and given the historical political enmity (never mind the diplomatic mumbo-jumbo to the contrary), even a sporting victory or defeat that is a mere pinhead in the big picture of life, triggers mass euphoria as if it were a Kargil.
The players themselves might not admit it in public, but the irrefutable fact is the adrenaline rush is greater and the emotions are on the boil among the contestants. It will never be ”just another game” regardless of at what stage the two teams meet and it being a World Cup semi-final, one can imagine the pressure on the players.
World Cup 2011
Under the circumstances, the saying that cricket is played more in the mind than on the field cannot be any truer in an Indo-Pak contest. We have said this before, but needs to be reiterated that ultimately, the team that blinks first will lose. The cricketing aspects such as team combination, technique, strategy and what have you, are secondary.
In effect, the stakes, like it or not, admit it or not, are much more than cricketing gains or losses. So, tighten your seatbelts and on to Mohali!

D1) Developing multimodal technologies to improve access (2014-2020) - Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center
D1) Developing multimodal technologies to improve access (2014-2020)
Project Leaders: T. Jakobs (InvoTek), D. Hershberger (Saltillo), S. Fager, J. Light, D. Beukelman, D. Erdogmus
Consumer Team: J. Baker, A. Wilson, M. Cuttlers, B. Arnold
Grant is 10 years old and has severe cerebral palsy. He is fully included with his typical peers in a grade 5 classroom. He is currently struggling to keep pace with the curriculum, not because of the learning required, but rather because of his slow access to AAC and other technologies. He lacks the range and precision of movement in any single modality to use direct selection and has to rely on scanning, a very inefficient method of access. He is exhausted by the end of the school day. He requires a better, more efficient access technique.
Challenge: Significant advances in AAC access technologies have enabled more individuals with complex communication needs (CCN) who have severe motor impairments to operate computer technology using eye tracking, head tracking, and touch sensitive interfaces. However, all of these methods rely on a single access modality. There are significant challenges associated with using a single access modality (e.g., using eye gaze alone) to control technology, including fatigue, over-use injuries, and inefficiency.
Goals: In this development project, we will create new integrated access methods that combine multiple access modalities to control smart technologies (smartphones, tablet devices, and computers).
Objectives: RERC on AAC engineers will build on our prior work and will integrate multiple access modalities such as speech, gestures, eye tracking, and head tracking to best meet the needs of individuals with CCN and severe motor impairments. Evaluation will focus on comparing multimodal access strategy to single access modalities to determine the impact on rate, efficiency of access, and personal preference of these individuals. Specifically, we will test two hypotheses:
These individuals will demonstrate increased accuracy and efficiency using multimodal access strategies compared to a single modality; and
They will report higher ratings of consumer satisfaction for multimodal access compared to single mode access. The evaluation will be conducted in a series of separate but parallel studies, each designed to test the effects of multimodality access on three populations with severe motor impairments who require alternate access:
children with CP,
adults with CP, and
adults with cervical spinal cord injury.
Multimodal project example: Eye-tracking and switch scanning
In the video below, a prototype access method that combines eye-tracking with switch scanning is demonstrated. The eye-tracking is used to locate a larger grouping of letters. Once the target letter highlighted within the larger group, the switch is selected to begin scanning all letters within this group. The target letter is then selected with the switch. With this approach, the individual using the system is not required to have optimal eye-tracking capabilities. The eye-tracking narrows the set of letters that are to be scanned reducing the need to scan all letters on the onscreen keyboard.

More and more business people and expats, intellectuals and artists are attracted by Budapest so much that they let a short stay turn into long years of love. Dutch writer Jaap Scholten became enamoured at the beginning of the 1990s and finds inspiration for his literature still today. He speaks about "his Budapest", the bohemian life, the buildings and their courtyards, the night walks and the rich Hungarian history. Plus his favourite place to drink coffee.
Then we can say that you have created your roots in Hungary?
Yes, I certainly have. The town is like a map of memories for me. All the different layers and eras are melting into one. When I walk through the city there are so many places that I have a personal memory about or one that I know the history of. A house, for example, where I know that something has happened there. And this is what makes me feel connected to a city. I know many stories about many cities. I know which people have lived there or I know that there used to be a club there or a hidden pathway to an old bordello. And having all this knowledge, right here in Budapest, connects me with the city. And I love walking through the city.

Will Splunk Earnings Keep Lagging Its Sales Growth? - AOL Finance
Will Splunk Earnings Keep Lagging Its Sales Growth?
Aug 28th 2013 6:15PM
Splunk will release its quarterly report on Thursday, and investors have been quite pleased with the massive run higher that the stock has made over the past nine months, with shares having nearly doubled. Yet even though the high-growth company has seen sales soar, its success hasn't yet translated into bottom-line profits for Splunk earnings. That isn't unusual for young businesses still in their hyper-growth phases, but how long will investors have to wait for Splunk to turn profitable?
Across the technology industry, businesses have started taking a hard look at all the data they've managed to collect about their customers and their own internal business practices. With so much information to sift through, Splunk has sought to give customers products that will help them analyze that data and get the answers they need to build their own success. Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Splunk over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its report.
Stats on Splunk
When will Splunk earnings go positive?
Analysts have marked down their views on Splunk earnings in recent months, tripling their initial loss projections for the July quarter and cutting their expectations for the current fiscal year by $0.01 per share. Yet that hasn't stopped the stock from continuing its impressive run, rising another 7% since late May.
The conundrum that investors face with Splunk is the same thing that plagues many high-growth companies: When will growing revenue will translate into profits? Immediately after Splunk's April-quarter release, the stock fell as the company failed to produce the earnings beat that investors had come to expect in past quarters. Yet those losses proved short-lived, as shareholders apparently realized that long-run growth trends should eventually start to support higher profits.
Splunk faces plenty of competition in big data, with giants IBM and Oracle having turned their attention to adding data-analytics capabilities to their broader offerings in the space. IBM reported double-digit growth in its business analytics software division during its second quarter, representing a much faster-growing segment than some of its poorer-performing legacy businesses. Oracle, meanwhile, failed to meet expectations in its earnings report in June, but it has sought out partnerships with major companies with a presence in cloud computing to drive its own cloud database offerings and support big-data initiatives.
One interesting threat to Splunk and its peers could come from the heightened attention that government data-snooping efforts have gotten recently. Already, many consumers find it somewhat unnerving to find highly targeted ads based on information that they thought was private, and ironically, as Splunk and others develop tools that become more effective at mining data, the backlash could become even more severe.
In the Splunk earnings report, watch to see whether the company can reverse its earnings disappointment from its previous quarter. If it can reassure investors that profits will eventually result from strong revenue growth, then Splunk has plenty of upside potential left.

Ketchikan, the southeastern most city in Alaska, is located in the midst of "the Tongass National Forest, a 17-million acre rainforest full of lush cedar, Sitka spruce, waterfalls, and wildlife." It sits at the entrance to the famed Alaska Inside Passage and has a population of about 8,000.
Technically, the only way to get to “The Salmon Capital of the World” is by sea. The city is located on Revillagigedo Island, which is a five-minute ferry ride from the international airport.
This Alaska town has long been a popular destination with RVers because it is a year-round port-of-call for the Alaska Marine Highway System (1-800-642-0066).
Ketchikan is best known for three things: "feisty salmon, idyllic scenery, and an incredibly rich Alaska Native culture." ... Oh, and maybe Creek Street and 'Dolly's House.'
During Ketchikan's "rough-and-tumble Prohibition days, Creek Street ... actually a boardwalk built over the water...was the red-light district, a hot-bed of bars and brothels. Today it is the heart of the city's shopping and arts scene."
At the height of the Gold Rush, Ketchikan’s red-light area on Creek Street had around 30 bordellos. Dolly’s House tells the story of those rough and ready pioneering days -- "Where both men and salmon come upstream to spawn."
"Dolly Arthur was one of Ketchikan’s better known madams, operating from the 1930s until prostitution was outlawed in Ketchikan in the 1950s. Today her parlor and boudoir are preserved as a museum filled with memorabilia, commemorating the roaring days of the early 20th century." -- Viator.com
This is a small city-run museum where visitors can peruse displays highlighting the town's history. Rare artifacts and historical photographs tell the authentic tale of Ketchikan as a Native fish camp, gold and copper mining center, fishing port, timber town, cannery site, transportation hub, and lively community. Just outside the museum there is a large totem pole called "Raven Stealing the Sun."

lottielulu: Holiday Pics
Who would have thought I could survive over two weeks without internet, or even my sewing machine. Well I did it! And now my dear husband has grand ideas that I may even be able to tolerate camping. Hah, I wouldn't quite say I am up to that, although I did enjoy having a holiday from all the usual things that seem to take up so much space in my life.
Melbourne was wonderful, hot, windy, busy and exhausting. We are thinking of making the big move from Sydney so we spent a lot of time driving around checking out suburbs and of course their playgrounds, I almost could have labeled the holiday a grand tour of children's playgrounds in Melbourne.
The highlights were the puffing billy ride, stumbling across a fairy show in the Fitzroy gardens, splashing in the bay at South Melbourne, and drinks and dinners at the James Squire bar at New Quay followed by delicious watermelon gelato.
After Melbourne we spent a week recovering at Batemans Bay where the days were much slower and we just lolled about in the sunshine and enjoyed the beach.
Here are the troops with Puffing Billy.
This is the apartment block we stayed in, all the way up on the 36th floor.
And this is the incredible view from the balcony. What an amazing sky!
And at the beach, busy building castles, while I settled down with a good book.

Pedal Revolution » Blog Archive Ovarian Psycos Film Screening, Rides, and Workshops in San Francisco! April 11th | Pedal Revolution
The awesome folks of the Ovarian Psycos are leading a series of events at CCSF Tuesday April 11th. Check them out!
The events will be two workshops surrounding the film Ovarian Psycos, which documents the creation of the bicycle brigade and infrastructure. The workshop leaders are four members of the Ovarian Psycos Collective who will travel from L.A. (on the bus, with their bikes) to present at City College. Ovarian Psycos is a starting point, but their goal is to build capacity for folks committed to the issues that directly affect women and specifically issues that affect women of color from marginalized communities. Together, we work to challenge the global culture of patriarchy/white supremacy/capitalism. The workshops will build community awareness of violence against women and
help mobilize for action using tools of consciousness raising.
The Mission Campus event will be a "Workshop on challenging Patriarchy, White Supremacy, and Capitalism." (12:30-02:00PM)
The Ocean Campus event will be a screening of the documentary film made about the Ovarian Psycos, followed by a Q&A with the subjects of the film. (4:10-7:00PM)
We are working to organize a community bike ride from the Mission Campus to the Ocean Campus from 2:30 to 3:30 between the events. We invite you to join us for this ride and all the other events happening at each campus.

Your hands are full. Your partner's hands are full. Your strong right-hand assistant type is juggling with both hands. There's a project that really needs attention. DP Marketing can help.
Maybe you need someone to take charge of putting a CRM system in place and training the customer service staff to use it. Perhaps you're a new startup and you just need someone to get the website in place and create the introductory collateral. You'd like to start a company blog.

DP Marketing can take on these projects and many more. If you're an owner or manager of a small business, you know that the biggest challenge is finding time to work on your business (not in it). When you're bogged down with the day-to-day challenges of running a business, we can help you dig out.
While we'd love to really get involved with the nuts and bolts of your marketing strategy, sometimes a simple project is the best place to start.
