BUTTIGIEG FRAMES HIS CAMPAIGN DESIGNED TO ‘WIN AN ERA’: Framed in a hulking, leaking Studebaker factory building that is being transformed into a tech center, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg launched his improbable Democratic presidential campaign, declaring that the party doesn't need to just win an election, "It needs to win an era" (Howey Politics Indiana). "Once in this city, we housed companies that helped power America into the 20th Century," Buttigieg told the 4,500 people who packed room as a heavy rain pounded outside, though he never mentioned President Trump or Vice President Pence during the speech, referencing only the "horror show in Washington." It was a speech he wrote himself. "Think of the forces that built the building we’re standing in now, and countless others like it now long gone. Think of the wealth created here. Think of the thousands of workers who came here every day, and the thousands of families they provided for. And think of what it must have been like in 1963 when the great Studebaker auto company collapsed and the shock brought this city to its knees. "Buildings like this one fell quiet, and acres of land around us slowly became a rust-scape of industrial decline, collapsing factories everywhere," the 37-year-old mayor said. "For the next half-century it took heroic efforts just to keep our city running, while our population shrank, and young people like me grew up believing the only way to a good life was to get out. Many of us did. But then some of us came back. We wanted things to change around here. And when the national press called us a dying city at the beginning of this decade, we took it as a call to arms. I ran for mayor in 2011 knowing that nothing like Studebaker would ever come back—but believing that we would, our city would, if we had the courage to reimagine our future. And now, I can confidently say that South Bend is back." As for the future, Buttigieg declared, "That’s why I’m here today. To tell a different story than 'Make America Great Again,'" a reference to President Trump's slogan. "It’s time to walk away from the politics of the past, and toward something totally different," the mayor said as rays of sunlight suddenly poured through the glass windows atop the ceiling. "So that’s why I’m here today, joining you to make a little news: My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I am a proud son of South Bend, Indiana. And I am running for President of the United States." South Bend is now the metaphor for one of 20 Democratic presidential campaigns, which now finds Buttigieg placing third in polls in Iowa and New Hampshire.
MAYOR PETE COMPETED WITH TIGER WOODS: The Pete Buttigieg campaign roll out had him scheduled to speak at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. But a series of mayors and other speakers droned on and it became clear, Buttigieg was competing for air time with Tiger Woods' amazing comeback at The Masters (Howey Politics Indiana). It was just before 3 when word filtered through the cavernous Studebaker 84 building that Woods had captured his fifth Masters, and the first in years. Buttigieg wouldn't take the stage until about 3:20 p.m. The collision with the Masters wasn't as debilitating as Sen. Richard Lugar's 1995 campaign kickoff that was completely overshadowed by the Oklahoma City federal building bombing, but he ended up sharing TV coverage throughout the rest of Sunday and this morning.
STUDEBAKER BECAME A SYMBOL FOR SOUTH BEND: For decades, the biggest symbol of this Midwestern city’s decline was the vacant Studebaker plant at one end of the city with its broken windows. Kevin Smith, a business owner in South Bend who bought the property to renovate it, said the empty relic was holding the city back. “It looms over the town,” he said. “Everyone had the feeling that we could no longer compete” (Wall Street Journal). These days, some 40 organizations, including tech companies and a school that teaches coding to children, rent space on the 1.2 million-square-foot campus, including one building with an open floor plan and interior glass walls. Now called the Renaissance District, it is a symbol of the rebound in the state’s fourth-largest city. Since 2012, the South Bend area has added more than 10,000 jobs. The city’s unemployment rate fell from 11.8% to 4.4% at a time when the nation’s labor market is at its strongest level in 50 years. But business leaders and residents also give credit to Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is raising money for a Democratic presidential run. Mr. Smith said Mr. Buttigieg, 37 years old and the city’s first openly gay mayor, helped secure state funding and provide tax credits to attract companies to the former Studebaker plant.
SOUTH BEND PD TAPES DRAWING ATTENTION TO BUTTIGIEG: Pete Buttigieg’s meteoric rise as a presidential candidate is putting a spotlight on his years as mayor of South Bend, Ind., including his demotion of an African American police chief (The Hill). An Indiana judge will rule soon on whether to release five cassette tapes of secretly recorded conversations between South Bend police officers that led to the 2012 demotion of Police Chief Darryl Boykins, the city’s first ever black police chief. The South Bend City Council subpoenaed Buttigieg to win release of the tapes, which were at the center of a police department shake-up and a series of lawsuits. Buttigieg’s critics say he’s gone to great lengths to conceal the contents of the tapes, which some believe could include racist language by white police officers. There is roiling anger in South Bend over the allegations of racism. Black leaders in the city say that if there is evidence of racism, it could call into question scores of convictions that stemmed from white police officers investigating black suspects in a city that is 25 percent black.
APRIL 24 SINE DIE NOW IN QUESTION: House Speaker Brian Bosma is hoping to end the 2019 legislative session April 24 — five days ahead of the April 29 adjournment required by state law. It's not because Hoosier lawmakers have been unusually efficient this year, though Bosma insists that "members are working hard to bring to their legislation to a successful close" (Carden, NWI Times). Rather, the majority of the 150 representatives and senators, including most of the Northwest Indiana delegation, will have no hotel rooms to stay in between April 25 and April 28 when the National Rifle Association convention takes over downtown Indianapolis. Bosma said Republican legislative leaders have a plan to wrap up state budget negotiations by April 22 to give lawmakers up to 48 hours, and certainly no less than 24 hours, to review the budget prior to voting on it April 24 and then adjourning for the year. However, he's not sure whether that plan still is feasible, given the differences between the House-approved budget and the Senate revisions to House Bill 1001 that's set for Senate approval Tuesday.
KEY GENERAL ASSEMBLY DEADLINES THIS WEEK: The time for third readings in both legislative chambers runs out early this week, with the House hitting its deadline today and the Senate’s coming up tomorrow (Curry, Howey Politics Indiana). That means this long General Assembly session has now moved into its final phase. With exactly two weeks left before the statutory mark for sine die, lawmakers will be heading to conference committees (some have already started) to work out the kinks between the House and Senate on the remaining bills that haven’t been sent to Governor Holcomb’s desk. Speaker Brian Bosma has thus far stuck with his April 24th goal for sine die and has repeatedly said that while the legislature is still grappling with big issues like the gaming and CIB bills, passing a budget is the only mandatory task they have to fulfill before closing up. For his part, Senate President Pro Tempore Rod Bray pointed to Wednesday’s revenue forecast as a major determinant for how smooth budget talks will be and how quickly session can be closed.
TAYLOR U DISSENT OVER PENCE COMMENCEMENT: The first text message arrived while the faculty meeting was still in session. “Pence speaking at commencement,” it began. “Yeah, I know, horrible, but it’s the most exciting faculty meeting ever.” My phone didn’t stop buzzing Thursday. None of the people texting me were happy about the selection of Vice President Pence as the 2019 graduation speaker at Taylor University, an evangelical Christian college of about 2,000 students in rural Indiana (Peterson, Washington Post). I’ve worked part time at Taylor for eight years, teaching as an adjunct in the English, honors and communications departments. My husband and I moved here so that he could help build the school’s ESL (English as a Second Language) program for international students. As Christians and former missionaries, we believed in Taylor’s mission of developing servant leaders who would minister Christ's redemptive love and truth to a world in need, and this intimate community has been a rich and nourishing place for us and our children. But the selection of Pence, a former Indiana governor, as the May 18 commencement speaker is deeply disappointing, for me, and for many of the faculty. It reflects a failure of the university’s leadership to live up to its mission. But a lot of people here are upset. As soon as the announcement was made, a professor from the biblical studies, Christian ministries and philosophy department called for a vote of dissent. After some discussion, during which some faculty expressed support for Pence’s presence, comparing him to the biblical figure of Daniel, and others critiqued the decision, 49 faculty voted in favor of Pence addressing the community at commencement. Sixty-one voted in opposition.
MAYOR PETE DESCRIBES HIS PRINCIPLES: Mayor Pete Buttigieg described his campaign which has raised more than $7 million as one with the "principles that will guide my campaign are simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker: freedom, security, and democracy" (Howey Politics Indiana). As for freedom, Buttigieg said, "Health care is freedom, because you’re not free if you can’t start a small business because leaving your job would mean losing your health care. Consumer protection is freedom, because you’re not free if you can’t sue your credit card company even after they get caught ripping you off. Racial justice is freedom, because you’re not free if there is a veil of mistrust between a person of color and the officers who are sworn to keep us safe. "Empowering teachers means freedom, because you’re not free in your own classroom if your ability to do your job is reduced to a test score," he continued. "Women’s equality is freedom, because you’re not free if your reproductive health choices are dictated by male politicians or bosses. Organized labor sows freedom, because you’re not free if you can’t organize for a fair day’s pay for a good day’s work. "And take it from Chasten and me, you are certainly not free if a county clerk gets to tell you who you ought to marry based on their political beliefs," he said. Toward the end of his speech, Buttigieg described the "he horror show in Washington" as one that "is mesmerizing, all-consuming. But starting today, we are going to change the channel. Sometimes a dark moment brings out the best in us. What is good in us. Dare I say, what is great in us. I believe in American greatness. I believe in American values. And I believe that we can guide this country and one another to a better place." Buttigieg will take his campaign to New York on Monday and then to Iowa later in the week. He's already made the Democratic debate cut, which means he'll take the stage for a series of 12 debates beginning in June. That is where the top tier of the Democratic nomination will begin to separate."
New York Times, Trip Gabriel: Pete Buttigieg, the young Midwestern mayor whose presidential bid has been an unlikely early focus of attention from Democratic voters and donors, kicked off his campaign on Sunday and proclaimed his hometown's revival was the answer to skeptics who ask how he has the "audacity" to see himself in the White House."
Washington Post, Robert Costa: Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of this northern Indiana city who in just weeks has vaulted from being a near-unknown to a breakout star in the Democratic Party, officially started his presidential bid here on Sunday, presenting himself as a transformational figure who is well positioned to beat President Trump, despite being young and facing off against many seasoned rivals."
Politico, Daniel Strauss: "Rising Buttigieg formally launches presidential campaign": "Surging in early primary polls, Democrat Pete Buttigieg officially kicked off his presidential bid on Sunday, starting a new phase of the campaign as one of the main candidates to watch just three months after he launched an exploratory committee to little fanfare."
Bloomberg News, John McCormick: "Mayor Pete Buttigieg, an underdog in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race who’s seen an uptick in support in recent weeks, called for a new generation of American leadership as he became the 18th candidate to formally join the fold. Speaking from a building with ties to America’s industrial past that’s now being re-purposed to house technology companies and other jobs of the future, the 37-year-old sold himself as unique in a field crowded with Washington lawmakers and longtime politicians. “It is time to walk away from the politics of the past, and toward something totally different,” Buttigieg told thousands gathered inside a former Studebaker car assembly plant in South Bend, Indiana.
South Bend Tribune, Jeff Parrott: Mayor Pete Buttigieg officially entered the race for the U.S. presidency on Sunday afternoon, casting his candidacy in historic terms and declaring it was time for a new era in the country, one in which he and Americans work with optimism and hope to meet the country’s challenges. “Are you ready to turn the page and start a new chapter in the American story?” he asked supporters crammed in a cold and wet Studebaker Building 84, a former auto assembly plant in downtown South Bend. Without ever speaking President Trump’s name, Buttigieg cast himself as a polar opposite figure. The Studebaker building, vacant since the automaker shut down in 1963, delivered Buttigieg some fortuitous symbolism as it continues a transformation into modern office space.
IndyStar, Kaitlin Lange: Pete Buttigieg officially entered the crowded 2020 presidential race Sunday, marking the young Midwestern mayor's rise from political obscurity to a notable name in the Democratic field seeking to replace Donald Trump in the White House. "My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I’m a proud son of South Bend, Indiana, and I am running for president of the United States," Buttigieg announced to a roaring crowd of about 4,520. Another 1,500 were watching outside, according to his campaign. Already Buttigieg has made history, as the first openly gay Democratic presidential candidate in history. His announcement capped a week of heightened media attention — driven in part by his criticisms of a fellow Hoosier, Vice President Mike Pence.
MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborugh: "Mayor Pete has nothing to lose. He's not afraid, he's bold and he's audacious. I've never been flooded with the kind of phone calls I received Sunday afternoon from Republicans, Democrats and independents. A more important question for Mayor pete is this, you can win Iowa, but you have to have a more diverse coalition. How will he fare in South Carolina? How will be fare in California."
DEMOCRATS TURN OUT FOR BUTTIGIEG: Attending the Buttigieg rally on Sunday included former U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, who has not endorsed in the presidential race, and his wife, Jill (Howey Politics Indiana). Also attending were Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett and Indiana Democratic Chairman John Zody.
SANDERS TAKES ON TRUMP: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) walked onstage here Friday under a gray sky with occasional specks of snow and launched into a full-on attack against President Trump, labeling him a “pathological liar” in a state that was key to Trump’s victory in 2016 (Washington Post). He repeated the epithet Saturday at a union hall in Michigan, another Trump state, and again on Sunday at a park in Pennsylvania, where Trump also won. “The biggest lie was that he was going to stand up for working families and take on the establishment,” Sanders said. The blistering attacks on the president reflect Sanders’s developing, and arguably risky, strategy of reaching out to Trump’s voters — people the president has said would support him even if he shot someone. It’s a sharp contrast with other Democratic candidates who are focused on mobilizing Trump opponents. Not incidentally, it is also a way to signal to Democrats that Sanders is their best hope for knocking off Trump, at a time when many fear he is the opposite. The most striking example of this strategy will play out Monday night when Sanders appears at a town hall meeting hosted by Fox News Channel, an outlet many Democrats detest and one the party has blocked from hosting a debate. Sanders says it’s important to talk to Fox viewers directly and tell them Trump misled them.
SWALWELL ANNOUNCES HIS BID: Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) formally launched his campaign for the presidency Sunday in his hometown of Dublin, Calif., according to CNN. Swalwell, who has made his push for stricter gun control a central theme of his run, identified the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., as a formative moment, according to the network. "A year ago, hope died at Parkland," Swalwell said. "But, in a uniquely American way, owing to the courage and strength of children, hope was reborn at Parkland. Hope has been reborn here in America too. That's why I started my campaign at Parkland. I pledged to that community what I pledge to you -- I will be the first campaign to make ending gun violence the top priority in my campaign."
HARRIS RELEASES 15 YEARS OF TAX RETURNS: Sen. Kamala Harris has released 15 years of tax returns, more than any presidential candidate so far. Her campaign released returns for every year she has held elected public office, from 2004 through 2018 (CBS News). Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, a lawyer, reported an adjusted gross income of about $1.9 million in 2018, substantially more than the $142,000 Harris declared in 2004 when she was the district attorney of San Francisco. They paid just under $700,000 in federal taxes, a tax rate of nearly 37 percent.
TRUMP TO POST $30M: President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to the Associated Press. The haul brings the campaign's cash on hand to $40.8 million, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign. The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26.
SCOTT SAYS TRUMP TRYING TO MAKE 'EVERYBODY CRAZY': Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott said Sunday that President Donald Trump's threat to place immigrants into so-called sanctuary cities might just be the President trying to "make everybody crazy." "I don't know whether it's legal or illegal. I mean, maybe he's just saying this to make everybody crazy. Make everybody talk about it on their shows," Scott, who represents Florida, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." Scott added: "But what I do know is I've been up there -- I've been in the Senate for 90 days, we're not securing our border. We're not enforcing our laws."
RYAN DEFENDS CAMPAIGN FOCUS: Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) on Sunday defended the focus of his 2020 presidential campaign on economic issues, saying that many Americans are tired of "just getting by." "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos asked Ryan during an interview on ABC whether campaigning on economic issues will be effective, given that President Trump has seen sustained job growth and low unemployment rates. "Well, it's not doing well where I come from and it’s not doing well in a lot of places around the country," Ryan, who announced his White House bid earlier this month, explained.
CONWAY CITES 'RADICAL FRESHMEN': White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that there are moderate Democrats in Congress who are willing to negotiate with President Trump and are frustrated with "radical freshmen" in Congress. “There’s a great deal of frustration among rank and file members who represent more moderate districts and frankly who represent districts that Donald Trump won in 2016. They’re very frustrated," she added Sunday during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press." "They’ve been to the White House. They talk to people like me, quietly, saying they wish the radical freshman who get all the magazine covers and all the ink and airtime," Conway continued, interrupting herself to suggest freshman Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are causing "trouble in Pelosi paradise."
INSLEE SAYS PEOPLE REALIZING CLIMATE URGENCY: Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) said Sunday that "people are coming to realize the urgency" of climate change. Inslee, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, added during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he believes focusing on climate change is the best path to the nomination. “I believe it is the best path because people are coming to realize the urgency of this. Tied with health care it is the number one priority of voters in Iowa and for good reason," he said.
CASINO BILL UP FOR THIRD READING TODAY: While not all state representatives from the Wabash Valley agree that Vigo County needs, or should even want a casino, each said it’s going to be a hectic final two weeks at the statehouse as the legislation likely faces substantive changes (Modisitt, Terre Haute Tribune-Star). As written, Senate Bill 552, authored by Republican Sens. Jon Ford of Terre Haute and Mark Messmer of Jasper, would create a gaming license for Vigo County should a public referendum in November or May 2020 be successful. If the referendum were to pass, legislation would require the formation of a Vigo County casino advisory board. The board will be responsible for evaluating proposals to operate a casino in Vigo County. The board would then forward its recommendations to the Indiana Gaming Commission. The commission would select the top three proposals and open an “auction process.” The auction would be at an advertised meeting of the gaming commission and would see each of the finalists submit one bid. The highest of the three would be awarded the license. It requires a minimum bid of $25 million. SB 552 made it through second reading in the House on Thursday with relatively minor changes. It will be heard again in the House on third and final reading today.
BORDERS TO VOTE AGAINST SB552: State Rep. Bruce Borders, R-Jasonville, intends to vote against SB 552 today, saying he is as against gambling in general as he is against an expansion of it around the state (Terre Haute Tribune-Star). “I’ve always said and still believe that gambling is economic development for people who are bad at math,” Borders said. “And ultimately what often happens with these places is it comes in with all the excitement and the bling and you get a great turnout initially. “But later what happens is ... they become a regressive tax on the poor. I do not, and will not support the expansion of gaming in Indiana.” Reps. Tonya Pfaff, Bob Heaton and Alan Morrison each said they intend to vote in favor SB 552 today and agree it’s important to let the people of Vigo County decide what’s best for them via referendum. “I think it’s very important that Vigo County has the opportunity to have a casino,” said Pfaff, D-Terre Haute. “What I believe is we need the opportunity to let voters decide. From what I’ve heard, all kinds of cities in Indiana want a casino and we need to at least have that choice.” Heaton agreed, saying he sees it as his job to give the people of Vigo County a voice in bringing something as divisive as a casino to the area. “I think it could be an economic driver for the area. And when I talk to people they seem all seem to be in favor of it, of course I’m sure there are people who aren’t,” said Heaton, R-Terre Haute. “But based on the referendum language in there, the people in Vigo County will get to make that decision for themselves.” If it passes third reading today, as each of the area legislators expect it to, SB 552 would then likely go to conference committee. Its there that Morrison, R-Brazil, expects SB 552 will again see substantive changes. “As 552 sits right now, even though I’m voting for it, there is a lot wrong with it and it’ll be a big lift to change some of it,” Morrison said.
EASTER RECESS: The House and Senate break for a two-week Easter recess.
CONCERNS ABOUT REP. OMAR'S SAFETY: Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday that the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms 'are conducting a security assessment to safeguard Congresswoman [Ilhan] Omar, her family and her staff' following a tweet by President Donald Trump (Politico). Pelosi's announcement highlighted what has become an extraordinary situation — the speaker of the House is worried about the safety of one of her own members following a statement by the president of the United States. An Omar aide said on Sunday that 'there has been an increase in threats' against the Minnesota Democrat following Trump's tweet. Omar's office reports such threats to the FBI and Capitol Police, the aide said.
GOVERNOR: HOLCOMB EXPECTED TO SIGN SCHOOL ALERT BILL - Gov. Eric Holcomb is expected to sign a bill that would allow Indiana school districts to seek state money for alert systems to warn students and staff about emergencies (AP). The bill would permit all 92 counties to request grants from the Indiana Secured School Fund for an alert system similar to one that’s used in northwestern Indiana. The legislation is the “beginning of the most proactive effort that anybody can try to take in order to answer the problems that we’ve been seeing with safety in our schools,” said Rep. Chuck Moseley of Portage. When a school leader activates the system in Porter County, all area law enforcers at the local, state and federal levels are informed through a mobile phone application, said Sheriff David Reynolds. The officers can go directly to a school without waiting to be notified by a 911 operator. They can use their electronic key fob access to the building to promptly counteract a threat, or to help students and educators trying to escape. “The most important thing when you get there is to go in. Because we know once you go in, it’s not going to take long.” Reynolds said.
GOVERNOR: DANIELS REUNITED WITH RV1 - The recreational vehicle used by former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels became a museum piece after Daniels left office and became president of Purdue University (WTHR-TV). But on Sunday, Daniels tweeted a picture in front of the RV with the words, "Best birthday surprise ever." Daniels' post continued, "The family and the 04/08 campaign crew borrowed RV One from the state museum for the day. What memories. That vehicle and I saw every corner of Indiana over and over. He turned 70 April 7. Daniels donated "RV One" to the Indiana State Museum, but when he turned over the keys in 2012, it went on display at the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, according to WNDU.
ENERGY: BIG CHANGES COMING ON POWER CONSUMPTION - As climate change brings hotter summers and warmer winters, Hoosiers will use less energy to heat their homes — but more energy for air conditioning (Stephens, CNHI). And if current trends continue, a larger percentage of that energy will come from clean-burning natural gas and renewable resources like wind and solar power. That’s according to the latest Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment report, “Climate Change and Indiana’s Energy Sector,” released in February. The Purdue Climate Change Research Center coordinates the annual report, which draws on research from dozens of Indiana universities and stakeholder groups. While energy used for heating will fall significantly, the report suggests the increased use of air conditioning will grow Hoosiers’ overall energy consumption.
EDUCATION: PURDUE NW PROF LEAVES SCHOOL $8M - A building at Purdue University Northwest is being named in honor of a former professor who left about $8 million from his estate for student scholarships and professorships (AP). The Purdue University Board of Trustees recently approved the official naming of the Nils K. Nelson Bioscience Innovation Building, which is under construction in Hammond, Indiana, and is set to open in fall 2020.
SPORTS: NOTRE DAME INSTALLS METAL DETECTORS AT STADIUM - Metal detectors will be used at all Notre Dame Stadium gates, starting with the 2019 football season (AP). The new policy begins Sept. 14 at the Irish’s first home game. The South Bend Tribune reports that university officials say the change is part of their commitment to safety and security.
WHITE HOUSE: TRUMP EYES IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS - President Trump and his top aides are weighing rules designed to clamp down on countries whose nationals overstay short-term visitor visas as part of a broader push for new ways to curb immigration (Wall Street Journal). The effort would target nationals of countries with high overstay rates of such visas, which include the African nations of Nigeria, Chad, Eritrea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, according to Department of Homeland Security data. The U.S. as part of a new rule would tell the countries’ governments that if rates don’t reverse, then future visas could be shorter or harder to get, according to an administration official who described the move as putting those countries “on notice.” Ultimately, nationals from countries with high overstay rates could be barred entirely, though the official said no ban is now under consideration.
WHITE HOUSE: TRUMP/PENCE SCHEDULE - President Trump's schedule, per a White House official: Monday: Trump flies to Minnesota for a Tax Day roundtable to promote his tax cuts. (Several Trump aides have told me the president and his political team are targeting Minnesota as a pick-up opportunity in 2020 after narrowly losing the state in 2016.) Tuesday: Trump has lunch with Vice President Mike Pence. Wednesday: Trump will speak at the Opportunity Zone Conference with state, local, tribal, and community leaders. Thursday: The President and first lady will participate in the Wounded Warrior Project Soldier Ride. Trump will also meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
CITIES: MEERS TOUTS MICHIGAN CITY'S RESURGENCE - “There is no doubt that Michigan City is better off than they were seven years ago.” So said Mayor Ron Meer at his annual State of the City Address on Thursday at the Michigan City Senior Center (Michigan City News-Dispatch). The mayor spent his address highlighting some of his city departments and initiatives, identifying “what went right, what went wrong, and – more importantly – where things need to change or improve for (the) program to continue moving forward in the right direction.” Improving and protecting the local environment was the first highlight. Over the past seven years, Meer said, “We put approximately $40 million in green infrastructure, lift station improvements in our various neighborhoods, storm water separation, sanitary sewer improvements. And this has happened throughout the whole city, in all our neighborhoods. It's not always real glamorous to see these things because they're underground, but they are so important to your everyday life." | 2019-04-20T06:24:15 | https://howeypolitics.com/Content/HPI-Daily-Wire/HPI-Daily-Wire/Article/April-15-2019-HPI-Daily-Wire-sponsored-by-Indiana-Motor-Truck-Assn-/12/31/20739 |

HMS Challenger travelled all around the world, reaching all oceans apart from the Arctic. The voyage was recorded as 354 stations with each station representing a point in the ocean where the crew trawled or dredged the sea, collecting as much material as they could. The ship also, however, visited many countries and groups of islands, exploring the lands, collecting plants and birds and also ethnographic material from the communities they met.

It was around 6 p.m. on April 1, 2002. Earlier that day, I had finished the book Bias, by Bernard Goldberg. MSNBC's Hardball, hosted by Chris Matthews, was on the TV. As I watched, Matthews introduced his two guests for the next segment of the show, a segment focusing on the current situation in the Middle East.
But Matthews missed the point. Instead of labeling Pipes' opponent for the sake of fairness, Matthews simply reasserted that the label he had given Pipes was appropriate. No label was ever given to the other guest, the man from the Brookings Institute, who was of course, there to debate the issue with Pipes and present the alternate viewpoint.
What's the point of this short story from my daily life? Well, first of all let me say that I generally like Chris Matthews. He's one of my favorite commentators. And although I don't always agree with him, I generally find him to be an honest, sincere person. And that is precisely my point.
The result of Chris Matthews' label was that Daniel Pipes was identified as potentially biased and prejudiced against the Palestinians. Pipes' opponent, on the other hand, was not labeled at all, creating by default the impression that, unlike Pipes, this man was unbiased and neutral. This, in turn, produces the unstated but clear impression that his views were more credible than Pipes' views and should be subject to less scrutiny.
It was all very subtle and I'm sure most of us wouldn't have even noticed, myself and Chris Matthews included. If I hadn't just finished Bias, it wouldn't have even occurred to me. But this type of one-sided labeling is one of the items that author Bernard Goldberg brings to light in the book. And, I'm sure Chris Matthews himself probably didn't even notice. He probably wasn't intentionally trying to color his audiences' perception of the two guests. It was just a reflex based upon Matthews' own genuine assessment of the two men and their respective positions.
But we'll come back to Bernard Goldberg's book and its exploration of the subtleties of mass communication later.
A while back, sometime in the last six months, I was watching a special about "Conspiracy" on the History Channel. One of the experts on the program made comments along the following lines. Conspiracy theorists, he asserted, may at first glance appear to base their work on research. However, as he put it, there was, in fact, "no credible scholarship" behind the notion of an ongoing, global conspiracy.
No doubt there is no shortage of cooks and nuts in the camp of the conspiracy theorists. But is there really not a single credible scholarly work supporting the theory of a global conspiracy?
Perhaps, ironically, the History Channel expert who made those comments was none other than the aforementioned Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum. Pipes' assertion was simple. According to Pipes, all global conspiracy theories were hogwash because they were based upon shoddy research.
But is that the case? No, it is not. In fact, there is at least one scholar of very solid repute and credibility that makes a very meticulous record of the history of a global conspiracy and the secret society behind it.
Carroll Quigley lived and died between 1910 and 1977. He was a professor of history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University, the very same Georgetown University attended by former President Bill Clinton. During his career, Carroll Quigley had also taught at both Princeton and Harvard. He was also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Anthropological and the American Economic Association as well as a few other historical associations.
Carroll Quigley has also written several books including the thirteen hundred page Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, in which he chronicles in detail western historic events dating back to before the turn of the nineteenth century. Another book for which Quigley is perhaps best known is his work Evolution of Civilizations. And then there is his shorter book, roughly three hundred pages, entitled The Anglo-American Establishment. It is this last work that bears the most relevance to this article.
As if all this wasn't enough to establish Quigley's credentials, he also has the testimonial of one-time student Bill Clinton, who in his acceptance speech on July 16th at the 1992 Democratic National Convention in the state of New York had this to say about the Georgetown Professor.
I can attest to this testimonial myself because it's printed among the endorsements on the book jacket for the colossal book Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time. And (since I own the book) I just so happened to be looking at that book jacket right now as I type these words.
I myself first became acquainted with the works of Carroll Quigley during an art history survey class my freshman year at college. One day, the professor of that class distributed to the students a small, photocopied handout of an article written by Quigley.
Being a college freshman at the time, I wasn't particularly intrigued by Quigley's article on cognitive systems and human thought processes in different cultures. In fact, there were only two reasons that the name Carroll Quigley stuck in my head. First, as a somewhat naive college freshman, it seemed odd to me that this man had a woman's first name. Second, my professor seemed to have a strong affinity for Carroll Quigley, an affinity which at the time seemed to be almost comical. And so, the frequent (albeit exaggerated) mention of Quigley became part of our caricature of this particular professor.
Needless to say, Carroll Quigley was indeed a credible scholar. His books were based upon thorough sound research and methodology and his credibility is widely accepted among the educated establishment and elite.
Since we have established Quigley's credibility as a scholar, before we get into what he has to say about the existence of a conspiracy, let's also establish the credibility of Bernard Goldberg, the author of the book Bias.
First let me state that I do not believe that the global conspiracy is exclusively the work of liberals or democrats. While it might be nice to think of a sort of yin yang relationship wherein benevolent conservative republicans combat the evils of malevolent liberal democrats, this type of thinking is completely naive. (Maybe something like the Autobots and the Decepticons, for those of us who grew up watching cartoons in the 1980's.) It is my opinion that the agenda of the conspirators is being advanced by both liberals and conservatives, by both republicans and democrats to one degree or another, some knowingly (although very few) and the vast majority unknowingly. However, it should be said, that increasing government control over both economic and social aspects of life is advanced and necessitated by the publicized liberal agenda quite well.
Having dismissed the notion that the conspiracy is exclusively the work of liberals in the media, I will now go on to discuss how the liberal bias in the media acts as one component of a larger agenda pushing the world toward the goal of the conspirators.
Bernard Goldberg's credibility on the subject of a media bias (or slant) on the news hangs very prominently on the fact that he is not a conservative or a republican or an outsider to the news media that he criticizes. In fact, Goldberg is an admitted liberal (and proud of it), a democrat, and perhaps even more importantly a veteran insider of the news industry.
The following facts bear out Goldberg's Credibility.
Concerning Goldberg's political views, here's Bernard Goldberg in his own words.
2. When Goldberg returned to CBS Evening News, Dan Rather introduced him with a positive endorsement of his credentials.
3. Goldberg worked at CBS News for 28 years.
From the time Bernard Goldberg began his career with CBS in 1972 until the day his now famous and instantly controversial op-ed piece appeared in the Wall Street Journal, CBS News considered Bernard just as credible and well-balanced as any of their other veteran reporters. Only after that controversial column about a persistent, prevalent liberal slant to the media did CBS consider Goldberg's credibility to be in question.
It is clear that Goldberg's veteran correspondence and track record at CBS unequivocally demonstrate his credibility on the issue of a prominent slant to the news media.
Now that we know Bernard Goldberg is credible, exactly what is it that he's saying?
As Goldberg demonstrates in his book Bias (which by the way was a New York Times #1 best seller), the news media DOES slant the news. And by slant we (me and Goldberg) mean that the media doesn't simply tell the news straight (the who, what, why, when, where, and how.) Instead, from the top anchors like Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, and Peter Jennings on down, they distort these facts to present and promote a particular social perspective to their audience (which inevitably acts as an attempt to persuade the audience's viewpoint).
However, even though Goldberg is convinced from his years of experience that there is a liberal slant to the news, Goldberg does not believe that this slant is a result of a conspiracy. For Goldberg, the slant is the news results MERELY from the personal biases of the men and women who produce and report it to us. According to Goldberg, these men and women aren't even slanting the news deliberately. They simply think they are doing an objective, fair, and balanced job, when, in fact, they aren't.
And Goldberg is even more explicit on this point.
On this point I agree with Goldberg. The conspiracy is not in the newsrooms. The conspiracy takes place at a far higher level than that. And that does make it much, much worse. But that assertion will be demonstrated in a little while when we get back to Quigley.
According to Goldberg, there is "overwhelming" liberal bias that twists the facts to support particular, identifiable socio-political views, but there's no conspiracy because no one sat down in a meeting to prescribe this treatment of the news. But WHERE is Goldberg looking? WHERE is it that Goldberg attests there were no meetings? In the news rooms. In the news agencies. Among the reporters, the producers, the anchors, and the executives. And that single fact is extremely significant to this issue. Goldberg doesn't subscribe to the notion of a conspiracy because he doesn't see deliberate meetings AT THE NEWS AGENCIES AMONG HIS PEERS.
So, how does Goldberg's testimony about a liberal slant to the news support the notion of a global conspiracy (especially when Goldberg himself rejects the notion of such a conspiracy)?
Here's where Carroll Quigley comes back into the picture.
Goldberg's definition of a conspiracy is a straw man precisely because it necessitates that the reporters and anchors themselves be aware of the conspiratorial agenda and that these men and women must set that agenda at official company meetings. But that's just not how the conspiracy to distort the news works. And that's not how Carroll Quigley described it working either. In fact, those kind of open formalized company meetings are the exact opposite of what Quigley described when he wrote about the workings of the secret society.
Earlier on in this article, I stated that according to Carroll Quigley, a deliberate slanting of the news was one component of a larger agenda designed to push the world toward the goal of the conspirators. We will now return to that very point.
In his book, The Anglo-American Establishment, Quigley spoke of a three-pronged method that would guide the world into the control of the conspirators. Or in other words, to eventually control the world, the conspirators would need to gain control over primarily three spheres of influence.
Particularly of note to our discussion here is that, according to Quigley, one of the three main methods of the secret society of conspirators is to control three areas of public influence: 1) politics, 2) education, and 3) journalism.
In this article we are specifically discussing journalism. For that reason, we will set aside the other two spheres of public influence mentioned by Quigley (politics and education.) And we will continue to focus on the issue of journalism as a means of influencing and shaping public opinion by presenting a particular slant on events and issues.
So, from Quigley's meticulous chronicling of the activities of the conspirators we learn that they most certainly sought to gain control over the channels of journalism and to use that control to shape public opinion in such a way as to advance their own agenda.
In fact, Quigley has more to say on this subject. Speaking of the organizations remarkable ability to conceal itself from the public, Quigley states the following.
Notice, in particular, that this group established two periodicals, The State and The Round Table and it assumed control over The Times all for the purpose of propagating its agenda, even to the point of causing political skirmishes and wars.
Keep in mind as you read all these things the impeccable credentials Quigley has. He was a professor at Georgetown, Harvard, and Princeton and was so well liked and admired by President Clinton that Clinton paid tribute to him upon receiving the nomination of the Democratic National Convention in 1992. So, Quigley is no nut. With credentials like these, Quigley's record of the activities of the conspirators is beyond reproach.
But we might ask, how is it that Quigley was able to write about this group? Would any group with that much power allow a scholar of Quigley's note and credibility to chronicle their activities in such detail?
This is a good question and Quigley himself answers it for us.
In short, Quigley was permitted to write about the group because he was friendly to it. He was not an enemy but an admirer who felt that their work was so important to human history that it must be recorded.
While this is indeed a rather lengthy quote, it answers several important questions for us. First, Quigley was not only "permitted" to write this account of "the Group" but persons close to "the Group" actually assisted him at times.
Third, the question might arise, "wouldn't such a book pose a threat to the Group and so cause it to prevent Quigley from writing the account?" Obviously not. This book was published well over two decades ago and the public, by the mast majority, is still blissfully ignorant of the existence of this conspiracy, and blissfully ignorant of Quigley's book as well. The Group was no doubt aware that the danger of the public discovering there existence through Quigley's book would be minimal. As Quigley put it, it was simply a matter of "knowing where to look." This book has largely been OVERLOOKED, marginalized, and ignored by the mainstream academic and journalistic circles, who, quite relevantly, are controlled by the very "Group" Quigley chronicles in his book.
Now that we've covered the how's and why's behind Quigley's writing the book, let's return to the question at hand. How does Quigley's book relate to Bernard Goldberg's book?
To be sure, we have already covered this in part. Quigley wrote about a conspiracy that sought to control journalism as a means of shaping public opinion in order to advance its agenda. Goldberg has written a book substantiating the theory that modern American news is deliberately slanted to favor particular social issues and views (thereby, consequently propagating those views to the American audience).
Goldberg, as we have stated, does not believe this media bias constitutes proof of the existence of a conspiracy because there are no meetings between reporters, anchors, producers, and executives to deliberately set protocols to slant the news.
But what does Quigley have to say about this?
Quigley then goes on to list a series of examples all of which involved appointments to positions of significant influence over journalistic institutions including the Pall Mall Gazette, the Westminster Gazette, the Daily News, the Daily Chronicle, the Cape Times, and of course, The Times.
And Quigley writes even more explicitly a little later on.
"In his 'Confession of Faith' Rhodes outlined the types of persons who might be useful members of this secret society."
Then Quigley places a rather lengthy insert from Rhodes.
This description sounds remarkably like Goldberg's description of himself and the liberal crowd in general whom Goldberg defines in terms of their compassionate idealism and which just so happens, according to Goldberg, to overwhelmingly populate the news media.
It was exactly this type of idealistic people that Quigley says the conspirators sought to use, many of whom did not even know they were being used, let alone that such a "Group" existed. People working on the outer circle, according to Quigley, were not actually members. And, because the members surrounded themselves with people of similar ideals that were engaged in similar activities, it was impossible to tell the members from the non-members.
Now, while a few of today's news media may indeed be aware of the secret society, how much the better if as many as possible could be brought on with the right ideals and do their work to further the cause according to those ideals, without ever being "conscious that they were being used by a secret society." (Quigley, Preface page x.) Individual awareness on the part of the majority of reporters is NOT a prerequisite to their usefulness to the conspirators.
In short, the types of formal meetings that Goldberg sets forth as a prerequisite for the existence of a conspiracy are wholly unnecessary precisely because, instead of holding these types of formal meetings to set protocols and keep every reporter to executive on the same page, the conspiracy is set up in such a fashion that from reporters to executives men and women are hired who already hold to the relevant ideals necessary to propagate the agenda of the conspirators.
The fact that a journalist's tendency to color their reporting with their own biases is one readily attested to by Goldberg himself.
It is not necessary to hold meetings in the newsrooms. By hiring (almost exclusively) reporters, anchors, producers, and executives with a uniform set of biases, you are bypassing the need for such meetings. You are ensuring an unbalanced, one-sided slant to the news simply by hiring the vast majority of your employees possessed of the same, single ideological persuasion.
Given that Goldberg so completely believes that people will automatically assert their own biases into their reporting as a function of human nature, Goldberg's own notion that it would be necessary to hold meetings to enact such a bias becomes obviously extraneous and absurd.
In fact, as Quigley puts it, it was well understood by members of the Group that it is better, as often as possible, to use men and women to advance their cause who had no knowledge that they were being involved in the agenda. Once again, I want to restate this quote from Quigley because it is very important to our study.
So, in other words, to hold meetings to set the protocols for how to use the media to distort the news and reshape public opinion was expressly contrary to the methods of the conspiracy and, therefore, in no way does the lack of such meetings disprove the existence of that conspiratorial group. In fact, the existence of entire profession (journalists) populated by people with the same ideological perspective itself demonstrates the existence of a conspiracy to distort the news in favor of a particular social outlook PRECISELY BECAUSE it is human nature for an individual to insert their biases into their reporting. People of a single socio-political persuasion are hired exclusively for the specific purpose of advancing the conspiratorial agenda without having to have meetings, which set formal protocols on reshaping public opinion.
The existence of a uniform (or overwhelming majority) of reporters, anchors, producers, and executives of the same social-political perspective on life proves the existence of a conspiracy. Bernard Goldberg simply has to reset his sites a little higher from the news room meetings to those who set the tone for hiring and filling out the news industry with reporters and executives from an overwhelmingly uniform political view. No one knows exactly who is setting that tone because the system was designed for anonymity, just as Quigley stated.
To say that a conspiracy cannot exist unless we know whom the conspirators are is absurd because one of the primary goals of the conspirators would necessarily have to be to conceal their identities. And Quigley understood this completely.
For the purposes of this article it is not necessary to delve into the specific subtle ways in which the mainstream press distorts and colors the news to cover to create the desired picture and reshape public opinion to match their own (through carefully chosen descriptive words, one-sided labeling, the selection of experts, and even the very selection of what topics, etc.) Nor is it necessary to go into the depth of examples documented by Goldberg in his book where he chronicles in detail the media's distortion of such issues as poverty/homelessness, AIDS, identity politics (a.k.a. the politics of division), family life, and the Middle East. For the details on these items, I invite you to pick up a copy of Bernard Goldberg's book Bias at your local library or bookstore where you can review them for yourself.
And one last important item before we go. In our previous articles on the existence of a conspiracy, we examined the interlocking relationships found among the board of directors of major commercial and journalistic companies. In that article we demonstrated that control over the major public media outlets was not only possible but quite plausible given these interlocking relationships.
This article finishes where that article left off. We now know, thanks to a quick review of Carroll Quigley and Bernard Goldberg, that someone does, in fact, exercise control over how the news is presented. They exercise that control in the same way that control is best exercised, through the subtle method of hiring and promoting those with similar ideas and like minds.
But just to drive the point home, consider this fact. No less than 5 times does Bernard Goldberg assert (somewhat casually, in fact) that all TV News takes not only WHAT it reports but HOW it reports from the New York Times. This is just as Carroll Quigley described back in England with The Times (The London Times). It would appear that the same group is doing the same thing here in the United States.
And, of course, Goldberg also clearly establishes the liberal persuasion of the New York Times as well.
I conclude this article with what is an admittedly over-used quote by conspiracy theorists.
The fact is, Bernard Goldberg, a veteran insider of the news industry has chronicled in detail not only the existence of an overwhelming liberal bias to the news (particularly with regard to social issues) but also the deliberate, persistent refusal of those inside the news media to correct or even address this problem. And, just as the esteemed Georgetown professor and mentor of President Clinton, Carroll Quigley, demonstrated in his book, the Anglo-American Establishment, the use of journalistic institutions to distort the news and reshape public opinion to advance their agenda is one of the primary tactics of the conspirators. Bernard Goldberg's book provides clear evidence that this kind of control over the public news media did not end in the days of Ruskin and Rhodes and Milner but persists, molding public opinion, to this very day.
Just as Quigley said of the conspiracy, "evidence of its existence is not hard to find, if one knows where to look." (Quigley, Preface page x.) The question is not whether the conspiratorial view of history is correct. It is most certainly correct. And it is most certainly going on right now. The question is, are we strong enough to accept that fact? | 2019-04-26T16:31:15 | http://biblestudying.net/newsmedia.html |
The Pre-Baby Blues: Is Trying to Conceive Making you Depressed?
Trying to conceive without positive results is an emotional roller coaster. For some, it can even lead to mental health issues. In the following interview with therapist Janine Canaday, LPC, LCPC, of Living Wellness, LLC, we will investigate how trying to conceive affects mental health and what you can do if you need extra support.
Is it normal to feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, hopeless if getting pregnant takes longer than expected?
Yes, feelings of sadness, anxiety, and anger to name a few are natural to experience and express. These feelings are usually indicators that a situation or experience that we are having requires additional attention to process and work through. For many women, motherhood is a valued and important part of life that is often sought after. When what we value most in life is not present or is difficult to obtain, it is normal to a degree to experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear and overwhelm.
The CDC reports that about 12% of women aged 15-44 experience challenges with fertility as well as 35% of couples where both men and women play a role in the challenges of conceiving. The messaging that we get from society, social images and the media can sometimes convey that conceiving a baby is easy and can happen quickly. In reality, it is a very intricate process that requires precise factors to be present. It is not as easy as it looks! Through many attempts, doctor visits, tests and procedures, the whole experience of trying to conceive can be emotionally, mentally and physically draining. It can be very devastating to experience and take an emotional toll on the relationship.
How can you tell if you are depressed or just going through a rough time?
Those who experience symptoms of depression will often show some of the following signs: fatigue, loss of interest, loss of appetite, isolation, extreme sadness, poor concentration, fearfulness, lack of energy, irritability, changes in weight, headaches, difficulty sleeping, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness and hopelessness. When these symptoms impact one’s daily routine in a significant way and have been preset for at least 2 weeks or longer, then it may be time to consider professional support.
If you find that managing day to day responsibilities around the house, at work or school and with your family are becoming too overwhelming and unbearable, then it may be more than just a rough period of time. Also, if you are frequently feeling unmotivated, it is becoming too difficult to get out of bed and engaging in daily grooming seems daunting, then please pay attention to these signs. It is important to communicate with trusted individuals whom you find to be supportive about what you are feeling. In addition, it is equally as important to do a regular self-check of your emotions by paying attention to your thoughts, bodily sensations and responses to triggering or stressful situations. This level of self-awareness is vital to knowing when it is time to seek support in order to treat your symptoms early with effective interventions.
How can you find purpose when the one thing you want so desperately, to be a mother, you can't seem to attain?
What is so amazing about life is that even on our hardest days and in our darkest hours there is hope, healing and purpose. Each woman who experiences the challenges of infertility has a unique story. A story of trials, pain, triumph and joy with many chapters and edited revisions that has led her down a journey she least expected. Power and purpose can be found in the journey. It can be very easy and even natural to focus on the pain, the heart break of infertility and the uncertainty of what life may bring next. Allow yourself to feel the full variety of emotions that come to you, but choose to not live in that space. Acknowledge that what you are experiencing is very difficult, yet know it does not have to be the end of your story or what defines you as a woman. You have the power and control to write and create more chapters of healing and victory. Refrain from self-comparison because it discredits your unique story that only you can tell. No one else has experienced what you have been through the way you did. Your desire and purpose for motherhood may show up for you in ways that you may not have possibly anticipated, dreamed of or imagined. Stay encouraged!
What can couples who are feeling distant or fighting, arguing, ignoring, or blowing up about treatment plans and the stresses of getting pregnant do to enhance their relationship?
Going through the challenging journey of infertility can be very stressful for both people. It can be an emotional roller coaster that can cause strain in the relationship if left unchecked. What is most important for couples to do is to engage in effective communication and set/maintain healthy boundaries. Make a decision to speak to each other instead of at each other. Share your feelings, listen with the intent to understand each other and reflect back on what you heard your partner say to show empathy and support. It is important that each partner feels heard. Discuss one issue at a time, take turns talking and express your feelings using “I” statements to show responsibility for your emotions. Keep in mind that constant fighting, arguing and ignoring each other is ineffective, invalidating and minimizes your partners’ feelings.
You are a team. It is vital to work together as a united front. I will often have couples who are experiencing challenges within their relationship complete worksheets that help them remember why they fell in love in the first place and why they decided to do this journey called life together. Take a moment to engage in quality time asking each other “discovery” questions about your hopes, dreams, desires and goals for your family. Reminisce on past shared experiences that were happy and joyful. Look through photo albums, make a collage or a vision board together to bring the passion and laughter back within your relationship. Start dating each other all over again!
How important is self-care for mental health while struggling with illness/reproductive challenges? When is it time to seek mental health help?
Frequent self-care is paramount in managing a healthy balance of what life has to offer. Stress that is improperly managed can have an impact on your health and body. Prolonged and chronic stress can negatively impact your cardiovascular system, endocrine system, nervous system and reproductive system to name a few. It is important to stay informed and gain information from your doctors and specialists about what specifically happens within your body during periods of chronic stress as it relates to fertility.
Self-care may include joining a support group of other women experiencing similar challenges, journaling or writing about your feelings and your journey, spending time with loved ones, doing enjoyable things and engaging in relaxation techniques. Practicing deep breathing, mindfulness skills (being present in the moment), yoga or exercise and healthy eating are excellent ways to bring your mind and body back to a state of homeostasis and calm. Positive self-affirmation statements are also very important in keeping your thoughts focused on what is helpful and productive. Some of my clients have reported that using aroma therapy and Himalayan salt lamps are effective at reducing stress. Set aside at least 15-30 minutes each day to engage in self-care. It is a necessary part of your overall quality of life and health.
If you are finding it too difficult to engage in self-care, are experiencing a lack in motivation and are feeling hopeless and helpless about your situation. Please seek support from a trusted professional.
It’s normal to feel anxious when it comes to trying to conceive. Finding the right coping tools can make all the difference. If you don’t have a plan for getting pregnant, start by talking to a professional. Knowing what your best options to take back control of your fertility will help you feel less overwhelmed. If you or a loved one suspects you are depressed, contact a therapist like Janine. You don’t have to do this alone.

January 26 is Ellen Degeneres’ birthday.
The three biggest factors in determining a personality profile of an individual are the sun sign, moon sign and rising sign. Without an accurate rising sign (and the house placements afforded by an accurate rising sign), it’s easy to go to the sun/moon combo to draw up a relatively-precise profile.
Yet in fashion astrology, I like to look at the placement of Venus in relation to the sun. I’ll also look at other dominant factors when I’m not sure that I’ve got a verifiable birth time. Ellen Degeneres’ chart on astrotheme.com indicates that she was born at 3:00 AM. Whenever you see that someone was born exactly on the hour, it’s usually a red flag that you’re working with an inaccurate birth time culled from memory, rather than with an actual fact.
So I’m not even going to look at Ellen’s rising sign or house placements. I’m going to look at her Aquarius sun and Venus. I’ll also consider her Aries moon and the near-conjunction of Mars and Saturn in Sagittarius.
This is a chart that speaks of rampant individualism. It not only belongs to someone who is politically active and politically motivated, but also to someone who is inherently practical in the way they think. If I didn’t know whose chart it was, I would guess that it belonged to someone who likes fashion for the opportunities it presents them, but I would also presume that it was someone who didn’t like to dress up.
I adore Ellen’s sense of style. It always makes me laugh to see her put on a dress because it seems so wrong when she does. She really knows who she is, and that’s always the thing that separates the best-dressed celebrities from the worst-dressed celebrities. I can tell when someone is nothing more than the creation of their wardrobe stylist, and I can tell when someone looks exactly how they want to look. With the independence of Sagittarius, Aquarius and Aries highlighted in her chart, Ellen obviously looks exactly how she wants look.
Now if I could just confirm that birth time . . . | 2019-04-23T22:55:49 | https://gregpolkosnik.com/2017/01/26/ellen-degeneres/ |

Today there are many facial rejuvenation treatment potions for women who would like to slow the aging process such as wrinkles and fine lines, treat skin problems such as acne , dark spots / aging spots , or enhance their facial skin care regimen to achieve a look that’s healthy and natural.
Laura’s facial rejuvenation treatment options are quick and easy treatments. You can get your skin rejuvenation treatment on your lunch time. With Laura’s facial rejuvenation treatment, not only help you look younger, but also makes you feel better about yourself.
What are the oxygen facials that celebrities use all about?
When given high concentrations of oxygen in oxygen facials and treatments, the oxygen triggers the bodies own healing functions and the skin will rapidly heal in such a favorable environment.
Moreover, the skin that is treated with oxygen facials fights bacteria associated with acne more effectively, because in an oxygen rich environment, bacteria, viruses, and fungal infections do not survive. If oxygen levels are low, it is harder for the skin to rid itself of impurities. However, with a rich concentration of oxygen, the skin and the body as a whole will be able to function better and more efficiently for healthier, smoother glowing skin.
Q. How does no-laser oxygen facial / rejuvenation infusion treatment work?
result, the new cells and firm skin make you look younger.
Q. How many treatments do I need to start seeing results?
It is in the dermis that collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are found and should be the key ingredients in the best skin care product, as is in the Nouvelle Beauté all natural product line.

❶Before an agent invests several hours reading your complete manuscript, they want to ensure that the story is solid. Thanks so much and have an amazing day!
Proposals are comprised of many important parts, such as your Overview, Sample Chapters, Writer Platform, and more. You only need a few sample chapters accompanied by a full proposal.
Concerning freelance book proposal edits, I work on an hourly rate. If you have a budget, I can adjust my hours accordingly to meet your budget. I have personally sold 7 of my own books through nonfiction proposals to publishers. While I enjoy critiquing full manuscripts, I choose my projects carefully because of time limitations. I edit all genres of fiction, with the exception of picture books. This trial edit is the best way for us to get to know one another.
At that point, you can review my edits and see if you want to proceed with the entire book. It also gives me an opportunity to stop editing if I feel no connection with the project. To discuss editing rates, e-mail me. My primary e-mails are chucksambuchino gmail. Between the books, the blog, and his no-nonsense approach to pitching a book well, Chuck helped me avoid a heap of newbie errors that probably chopped my time in the query trenches in half.
My memoir, Swabbed and Found , became one that a publisher could get behind. Your help made a big difference. You did an edit on it for me years ago.
Your comments made a big difference in my subsequent revisions. This is such a major milestone accomplished and I feel I am in very good hands. I also want to acknowledge that I believe I would have had very little likelihood of making it this far without all the editorial help you provided on my manuscript. So once again, thank you! She is SO passionate about my project. You are the best!
Rachel said that she found the manuscript intriguing, and enjoyed how I played with different themes in the tale. I mentioned you as my editor and she seemed pleased, stating that she knew you.
Your conferences, books, and personal feedback helped me more than you know. Thank you very much. I would not have had found my agent, Sharlene Martin [of Martin Literary Management], without your manuscript and query edits. From my perspective, you are among the best editors out there, and I am grateful that you helped me. I hope to work with you again. You worked on [edited] so many of those stories. I know that it all made a significant difference. Thanks so much for everything!
It worked well — I received two offers! I know my submission package and my query letter greatly benefited from your work. Prior to your input, I had received not one iota of interest. Thank you for all you do—you are a godsend. I finally got a book deal! My first novel will be published by The Wild Rose Press in ebook and print. They also want the next two books in the series. One of my projects for will be picked up by Waldorf Press. Thanks for all your help. Shortly after working with him, I sold my novel, Blackrock , to Barringer Publishing!
Sourcebooks released my novel, Send , in Your editorial notes were exactly what I needed! You were worth your weight in gold, and your edits helped me get offers from several agents!
I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with Chuck. It is penultimate to have great guides and mentors along the path of writing and publication, Chuck is one of those guys.
His understanding of the components of a successful query made all the difference, and the revisions he suggested, I know, allowed my query to garner the attention of great agents.
I was thrilled to receive many responses from agents and ultimately, two offers of representation. Chuck understands the publishing world and the art of the query. Pause for happy dance.

Trudging your way to work on public transport or battling heavy traffic in the car can have a huge impact on your daily happiness and health, but just how bad is it?
According to the global Regus Work-Life Balance Index for 2012, long commutes of over 45 minutes are associated with poor sleep quality, exhaustion and low general health. Long-distance commutes apparently also put so much pressure on families that commuters are 40% more likely to separate from their partner.
And commuting has an even bigger impact on women.
The Regus Index showed that longer commuting times affect the rate of employment of women with children of schooling age, while a 2011 study, It’s driving her mad: Gender differences in the effects of commuting on psychological health, revealed that commuting has a detrimental effect on the psychological health of women – more so than men.
Women tend to have a greater sensitivity to commuting times because they share a larger responsibility for day-to-day household tasks, including childcare and housework.
According to University of Sydney professor Chris Rissel, studies have shown that the act of driving increases people’s risk of being overweight or obese by 13%, even after adjusting for physical activity and leisure time.
But while driving increases the risk of weight gain, driving to work doesn’t necessarily mean more stress.
All of this can also affect our career thanks to increased tiredness, stress and lower productivity, according to Melissa Johnston, a career consultant from Suzie Plush Consulting.
A recent NRMA survey of New South Wales drivers found that one in four commuters spend more time getting to work than they receive in annual leave entitlements each year, with 24% spending up to one and a half hours a day commuting to and from work, equivalent to 22 days a year.
So, why do we put up with such long commutes?
For many people, a long commute isn’t a choice and is usually dictated by financial constraints.
“In short, people tend to tolerate a longer commute time if they feel they are being compensated intrinsically or financially in their chosen job or housing and living environment,” says Read.
A 2008 Scandinavian study titled Stress that doesn’t pay: The commuting paradox, says while commuting might be a burden for those involved, those people’s partners might benefit, so that overall, the household will benefit. Others can feel trapped in their commuting situation and therefore experience lower subjective wellbeing when they had bad luck and ended up with a long commute or didn’t foresee the costs of commuting.
“People benefit from commuting when it allows them to get to an office or a factory in order to supply their work, or when they can find either superior or cheaper housing, albeit a greater distance from work,” the study states.
While it’s clear most people who have a long commute are unhappy about it, many employers are starting to do more to help staff reduce their commute time in an effort to improve employee work/life balance and wellbeing.
According to the Regus Index, more firms are engaged in reducing staff commutes in 2012 than they were in 2010, highlighting that attention to the employee commute time is becoming mainstream – a result of the benefits to be gained from providing flexible work practices such as reduced costs and improved staff productivity. Two fifths of workers surveyed said they feel that companies have made an effort to reduce employee commutes in the past two years.
“Technology advances now allows more freedom for many people with flexibility to work from home, which can serve as a helpful circuit breaker from the demands of regular, lengthy commutes,” says Read.
But overall, professor Rissel says ‘active travel’ is the best way to go. | 2019-04-22T19:01:25 | https://www.smartcompany.com.au/finance/economy/what-a-long-trip-to-work-is-doing-to-your-health/ |
Learn the basic steps to record, mix, and export audio content for a podcast — or any other audio project.
When recording punch-ins or layering sounds, clip Z-order is maintained when selecting stacked clips so that smaller clips don’t get lost behind longer ones. Commands in the clip content menu make it easy to move clips to the front or back, and preferences allow users to customize the behavior. More improvements allow for symmetrical clip fades, or adjusting fade curves or duration independently.
The Essential Sound panel gives you a complete toolset to mix your audio and achieve professional-quality output. The panel provides simple controls to unify volume levels, repair sound, improve clarity, and add special effects — so your video projects sound like a professional audio engineer has mixed them. You can save the applied adjustments as presets for reuse in Audition, making them handy for more audio refinements.
Create remixes of music files from a collection using Adobe Sensei’s machine learning. For example, you can take a song that has a longer duration and create a shorter version that still sounds like the original. You can recompose any piece of music in your collection to fit the video or project duration.
See in real time how the waveform looks before you apply changes. Or work on separate regions of a file simultaneously. This functionality is especially valuable when you’re working with effects that alter the duration of a clip. Choose View > Show Preview Editor to display the preview.

What is Through the Woods?
Hello and howdy, people and others.
We just looked at our very sadly neglected website and realised it’s been around seven months since the last blog post. That’s crazy! We’ve decided it’s time for us to get back up and kick the horse, as the saying goes.
To re-introduce ourselves back into polite society, the first thing we’re going to do is the most simple thing we can think of; re-introduce you to our game, Through the Woods. What is it? What does it do? Where can you find it in the wild? All these questions and more will be answered henceforth. It’s difficult to know how much of the game to reveal before release, so we’ll just see how it goes.
All kinds of Norse creatures can be found in the forest. Or they can find you.
What is Through the Woods about?
Through the Woods is a third-person horror adventure game about how far a mother would go to save her son. At the beginning of the game, Espen and his mother are at their summer cabin by a lovely lake. You wake up in the morning to find your son gone and you go outside to search for him. Down by the old pier, you witness Espen being pulled into a boat by an old man who rows him across the lake and into the fog. In desperation, you swim after them and find yourself in a forest on the island where the game takes place.
The objective of the game is to find your son and to discover the identity of the mysterious man who took him, and, more importantly, why he took your son. You will also learn a a lot about the history of the island and the strange and sometimes horrific things the old people who once lived there had to do to survive.
What is the gameplay actually like?
We usually describe the gameplay of Through the Woods as similar to Gone Home mixed with a little Amnesia.
You explore the environment, finding any clues you can as to where you son is, while trying to avoid being killed by the various creatures that roam the woods.
We decided pretty early in development that combat was not really going to be a part of the game. We have gone back and forth on this over the last year or so but stuck to our guns on the combat. There are certain creatures who don’t like the light of your torch, and there is a section of the game where you have to keep some creatures at bay with a certain object, but physical combat is not what this game is about.
This is a terrified woman who is forcing herself to cross this terrible place with the sole intention of finding her son. Some of the creatures in the game are vicious and as big as rhinos, so a heavy sword or a chunk of wood is not going to do much good. Sneaking and avoiding being spotted is the way to go. There are certain aspects of the character that do become stronger as the game goes on, but physicality is not part of it, and we are all happy with that.
How is the story delivered?
Journals – There are dozens of journals scattered across the island that tell the history of the island and Erik, the man who kidnapped your son.
Dialogue – There is a running dialogue over certain parts of the game, recorded by the mother after the events of Through the Woods. It is not clear to whom she is speaking or why, but she talks about how she was feeling during her ordeal and the player is filled in on some of the history of the relationship between her and her son.
Runes – These are written in various places, and always on the large standing runestones that act as the game’s checkpoints. You can see one below. Stian, our very talented character artist, is actually pretty fluent in old Norse runes and has translated the English text into Norwegian, then into Norse runes. Sometimes the text was translated directly from Norwegian into Norse runes, as Stian wrote some of the checkpoint poems himself. It’s pretty nerdy, but nice for those who think it’s fun to figure this stuff out. The text on the runestone in the image below says, ‘Myrkstad, i skogens skygger. Beskytt oss mot ham, Hels eget avkom‘. And in English; ‘Myrkstad, in the forest shadows. Protect us from him, Hel’s own offspring‘.
Environment – There is also a bunch of environmental storytelling in the game, some of which is up to the player to figure out for themselves, and some of which goes together with perhaps a journal somewhere that might help with some context.
Fully translatable runes! You can translate them into old Norse, and then into English. Fun!
What kind of enemies will I encounter? Can I die?
The game is full of creatures. You will be killed. Probably a lot.
So hopefully players will know that they need to use their flashlight to scare the secret creature away.
The stages and pacing of the game is also set up in a very interesting way, but I think we might be keeping that under wraps for the time being. We may discuss it more, but it’s difficult to tell at this point whether revealing it will enhance or detract from the experience. Suffice it to say it adds a very interesting subtext to what the mother is going through.
Ok, you made it this far! Thanks very much for staying with us. Hopefully reading this will make people understand why, when people say to us, ‘So, it’s a bit like Slender, is it?’ we recoil against the comparison so much! Through the Woods is a carefully thought out and crafted game that we hope people will enjoy and get lost in!
Through the Woods releases in September and you can add it to your wish list on Steam right now!
Thanks again! Until next time!

I am very excited for this!

When Lily McDermott walks in to find Marc, her husband of just three months in bed with actress Nadia, life as she knows it is over. Lily thinks things can’t get any worse when she sees photos of her husband and his new lover splashed across the glossy magazine pages, but when she loses her job too, she is at her lowest ebb and turns to baking to soothe her soul. Wounded and broken she has to try and pick herself up again with the help of her best friend Frankie and with her encouragement, Lily decides to turn her hobby into a business and sets up Baked With Love. However whatever Lily does, it seems disaster soon ensues and when handsome stranger Sam comes to her rescue, Lily isn’t quite ready to turn her back on her marriage.
Can Lily risk opening her heart again or is she destined to allow Marc to shadow her life forever?
As a reader, I think I was just as shocked as Lily when she comes home to find her husband in bed with another woman. My heart really went out to Lily and from that point on I was really routing for her.
The book is filled with wonderful characters. I really liked the good friendship between Lily and Frankie. They are close friends and everything I found myself wanting to say to Lily, well Frankie said and handled it all perfectly. Definitely a woman who anyone would be lucky to call a friend.
Things seem to go from bad to worse when Lily not only loses her husband, but loses her job as well. I loved the idea of the bakery business and of course my mouth was watering with all the lovely mentions of cakes and creations that Lily was coming up with. I would happily have become chief taster for free of charge!
The Girl I Was Before is such a lovely story that I completely lost myself into the story, shutting the real world outside. It’s such an easy read with a lovely leading lady who the reader really gets behind and wants them to be happy. Was so happy to realise that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Lily as there is a follow onto the book. Can’t wait to see what is next in store for her as well as the reader.
The Girl I Was Before is available to purchase from Amazon. (Please note that link used is an affiliate link). | 2019-04-21T10:30:48 | https://bytheletterbookreviews.com/2018/07/16/the-girl-i-was-before-by-izzy-bayliss-izzybayliss/ |

FREE DCOMT video - Is it a Shoulder Girdle or a Shoulder Corset?
In today’s video, let’s have a look at One Handed Towel Traction for the Neck with Shoulder Girdle Stabilization. Traction for the cervical spine is not only not contraindicated for clients who have a pinched nerve in the neck, it is actually indicated because it opens up the intervertebral foramina to decompress the spinal nerves. Dr. Joe Muscolino demonstrates how to easily perform neck traction using a towel (or king-sized flannel pillow case). And when done with one hand holding the towel, the other hand is free to better stabilize the shoulder girdle / upper body.

"Reading about dismal African American breastfeeding rates made me wonder how these traditions and choices were passed down from mother to mother. I stumbled across an image of a slave wet nurse from early America. She is pictured nursing a white child. In my imaginings I could see a woman experiencing this might build a resentment and reject the act of nursing altogether, in order to reject her captors once she was free. I imagined those attitudes being passed down from generation to generation."
I had a professor in seminary that was a missionary in Africa for years. His family practically grew up there. Anyway, his wife tells of some of the difficulties they had after childbirth in the hospital.
The nurses wouldn't wake her to breastfeed her baby at night. They were convinced (by the baby formula companies, so she said) that giving the baby formula was better than breastfeeding. When the nurses refused to wake her, she got her husband to bring in an alarm clock so that she could wake herself up and feed her child.
That's a fascinating idea I've never thought of before. I'm a Lactation Consultant who spent a lot of years working for WIC. While I came across women of all races and backgrounds who were resistant to nursing, it did seem common (in my area) to have a young African American girl in my office who wanted to give breastfeeding a try while her mother or grandmother was sitting next to her saying, "absolutely not". I'm going to have to mull this over and rethink my way of approaching these women. It seems quite possible this resistance goes back a lot further than I thought.
i find the dischotomy in this history literally overwhelming here. during times of slavery, blacks weren't even considered full people. they were rejected on every level. and yet whites took something as life-sustaining and intimate as breastfeeding, and charged it to their black slaves?
an interesting perspective in this post. nursing happens or doesn't happen due HUGELY in part to cultural expectations. i'm curious to know if those expectations are as deeply rooted as this theory implies.
I'm the descendant of a black woman who became part of a white family in rural England about five or six generations back. We know very little about her except that she was loved, my mother remembers as a little girl hearing elderly members of the family talking about her and being shown a picture of her. Her six children are in photographs with the children from her husband's first marriage who she seems to have stepped in and raised. The traces of her inheritance are still present in the newest generations of our family. We've searched the archives to look for her name, so far without success. We would love to know who she was, and what her family history was, she must have been one tough lady.
Sorry, irrelevant I know, but the post made me think of her.
I recently have read articles about African Americans and breastfeeding rates. I wonder if a contributing factor is that so few women of color have the opportunity to stay home with their children. Going to work and using childcare makes nursing happen in the lady's room with a breastpump, and doesn't give the same "warm fuzzy" feeling.
As much as I think it has to do with rejecting the horrors of wet nursing, I do think it has a more to do with African American women not being able to be present with their newborns- in slavery they would have had to pass them off to younger girls or older women, or have them sold. Mixtures of whatever food sources were probably made to sustain the infant or wet nurses were used for them as well. As history progressed black women have had to been in the workforce much more then women of of other races, so pumping would be the nearest possibility and that would be only if a pump was affordable. Also, even middle class working black women may be reluctant to breast feed since being competitive in the workforce is doubly important. If company polices are not conducive to long maternity leaves, or other parental leave they may not want to rock the boat by demanding leave due to the racism and sexism they already are experiencing. | 2019-04-21T15:02:52 | http://www.welcometomybrain.net/2011/03/magical-milk-pic-o-week_08.html |
Showing results for tags 'Ford Ikon'.
Hello friends, I would like to share my experiences with my Ford Ikon 1.6 (Tourmaline green). I'm the owner of this very comfortable, luxurious and power packed monster since 2008. I'm the 3rd owner of this beauty. I agree you people might already think this car's parts cost a fortune, but believe me, these quality parts from Ford very rarely need replacement or repair if maintained well. The air-conditioning is the best i found in the class of it's era. Ikon started to roll out with electric windows and power steering while other car manufacturers were still stuck on getting their cars to be more fuel efficient. Photos of my cars and additional comments will soon follow. Thank you, Venkys. | 2019-04-22T00:08:01 | http://forum.autocarindia.com/tags/Ford%20Ikon/ |

I have to say, The Bazaar from Uncle Steve was a bit of a letdown. Stephen King is, obviously, one of the most-hyped authors of today, which is why the fall from so high can be so hard for his readers. This collection of previously published works, in itself, had a range like open arms – from eye-roll-warranting clunkers that never took off and seemed rather (dare I say it?) juvenile for such a master wordsmith to others that truly took my breath away and really explored the mental and emotional crevices of humanity in a way that was breathtakingly clear and surprising – similar to reaching the summit of a huge roller coaster and seeing the landscape around you for those vivid two seconds before being dragged back down again. Billy Blockade, Bad Little Kid and Under the Weather, I’m looking at you now. Overall, I will remember this collection as a hodgepodge that had some really great highlights – and those highlights are what I will take from it. The short introductions to each story were a real treat. Those anecdotes and revelations were the extra seasoning that this collection needed to thread it all together. However, it would’ve been cool if the original place of publication had been added to those intro snippets; after all, we all knew that most of them were previously published anyway.
This story was surprisingly and glaringly amateur. I appreciate that he led us into that with the knowledge that it was one of his earliest works, but it left an awful taste in my mouth and a hesitation to continue on with the collection. Not the best choice for starting out; better to bury that one somewhere in the middle. No stars.
I’m all for contemporary poetry that doesn’t follow the rules, but the two poetry selections presented here proved that I am not a fan of King’s attempts at that particular form of art. Disjointed and confusing, this one gets no stars.
No comment is comment enough. Not a fan of Uncle Stevie’s poetry in this collection.
Umm, not a winner for me. This was like R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps on steroids (mild steroids that made it appropriate for an adult, not extreme steroids that made it King-like). Enough said. ** 2 stars for the humor added by the nurse’s thoughts and the dynamic between she and her boss.
Sure, what better way to end the collection than with the apocalypse, I agree. This, however, showed again how King didn’t jump in to tackle the big action scenes but settled for examining the aftermath, or 3rd person removed version of them. Other than that, it was a solid story, worthy of the King brand, with an ending that was foreshadowed but…comme si comme ça. | 2019-04-21T07:08:57 | https://thenavireview.com/2016/02/26/the-bazaar-of-bad-dreams-by-stephen-king/ |

The landscaping industry holds a special place in my heart. As a young adult attending university, this was how I made ends meet. So I spent many a summers choking on 2-stroke exhaust fumes, mixing gas, grass cutting, and spilling it everywhere refueling the equipment. Ecocut was developed so we could do our part for the environment, and have some fun experimenting with digital advertising techniques. Ecocut offers full-service clean, green, organic lawn & garden care using equipment powered exclusively by renewable, solar-power, biodiesel and human musclepower.

This relationship between public and private labor costs here is very similar to what we find in parks. Most park agencies have about 80% labor costs, while ours for running similar facilities is between 30% and 40%.
The difference mainly lies both in productivity expectations as well as escaping civil service pay and benefits scales. The difference is typically NOT about number feet on the ground — in fact, private companies tend to have more customer contact people in the park than do state agencies.
Adopting a public/private management strategy used successfully for decades by the U.S. Forest Service can ensure that endangered California state parks remain open, are properly and professionally maintained, and are available to the public for years to come.
Due to the state budget crisis, California State Parks has been forced to cut millions of dollars from its operating budgets. To make ends meet, California has proposed closing 70 state parks.
“It doesn’t have to be this way,” says Warren Meyer, president of Phoenix-based Recreation Resource Management (RRM), a $10M company that manages public parks and recreation areas throughout the U.S.
When operating public parks in these partnerships, private companies typically provide visitor services, routine maintenance and repairs (such as bathroom cleaning), landscaping, trash removal and payment of utilities.
“While these operational tasks by no means constitute all the work required to keep parks open, they account for the vast majority of the money spent by the state parks organization in the field,” says Meyer.
In these arrangements, the public agency ensures that the private operator maintains the land in the condition and character the public expects.
“This USFS program is already working in hundreds of locations in California, and over a thousand nationwide,” states Meyer.
The public retains ownership of the land. Private companies must maintain the desired character and facilities in the park. Typical concession agreements include extremely detailed operational requirements and restrictions.
The Parks Agency retains responsibility for strategic planning, habitat development and restoration, facilities planning, environmental sciences, rule-making, oversight, and fee approval.
The private company takes on operational tasks (from maintenance to bathroom cleaning) that consume much of the state parks budgets but don’t impinge on these strategic tasks.
Private company’s expenses, and therefore most park operations expenses, are paid out of park visitor fees without any additional payments from the state. In return for retaining these user fees, the company pays a competitively-bid rent to the state.
The state may use this rent to help cover its other expenses, or may reinvest the rent, as does the US Forest Service, in catch-up maintenance and park improvements.
The substantially lower cost position of private companies allows park operations as well as major maintenance to be performed using existing visitor fees without taxpayer subsidies. Even smaller parks can benefit when bundled together into larger contracts. The result is that more parks can be kept open to the public.
More efficient management also allows for lower use fees — for example, while California State Parks typically charge as much as $30 for a campsite without utilities, at similar public campgrounds in California RRM charges no more than $18.
Private concessionaires have incentives that are well-matched to the public — they make money only if happy and satisfied visitors come back to the park. As a result, the parks operated in California by RRM receive very high marks from customers and in third-party surveys.
If the public agency wants to improve the facilities in parks, private companies can be a critical source of capital. RRM has invested more than $3 million across the country helping parks catch up with deferred maintenance and improve the visitor experience. At McArthur-Burney Falls SP in California, RRM has invested nearly $1.5 million in a new store and visitor center, new cabins, and new boat docks.
As occurred in 1995, when the government shuts down, most of its recreation areas have to close, from the national parks to the Washington Monument to the Smithsonian museums.
But when most Federal recreation is closed, potentially during a busy spring break week next week, one set of government parks will be open — US Forest Service recreation areas operated by private companies under concession contract. Because private operators collect all the gate fees and pay all the expenses themselves without any government appropriations or labor, these concession campgrounds and day use areas do not have to close when the Treasury runs out of money.
This is something to think about with state parks in nearly all 50 states facing closures during local budget battles. Privatization of park operation shields the public from budget shenanigans and the usual game of chicken legislators play with parks during the appropriations process.
Check out this most recent Reason.TV video, which includes your humble correspondent.
Got the letter from a customer of a US Forest Service park we operate. I know the last paragraphs almost looks like a setup but we honestly got this letter out of the blue from a customer no one here knows.
Two western Kentucky lawmakers say they don’t support plans to close resort parks two days a week in the winter and privatize restaurants and golf courses.
Let’s make sure we are clear on this — They are talking about closing Tuesday and Wednesday in Kentucky in the winter time, which (if you are not from the area) is typically cold and rainy.
My company runs several enormously popular parks in Western Kentucky for the US Forest Service. They are so popular we have lines and wait lists in the summer to get in. But we don’t even try to keep the place open from November 1 to March 15, and even then the dropoff we get in the late and early season is substantial.
I am not that familiar with these parks in the article, but I would have to take a good long look at them to see if I would support keeping them open in the winter at all, much less 5 days a week. I am currently looking at a resort type public park in Georgia with a lodge, and the cost of keeping a resort and restaurant open in the winter when there is no business is simply astronomical.
But let’s consider the lawmaker’s suggestion for a moment. I am a marketing guy. You ask me to do something to fill up a cold, rainy western Kentucky resort on a Tuesday and a Wednesday during the school year. How? I am sure you could hire someone who would gladly take your money for this project, but what possible chance of success does it have? Who is going to go when their kids are in school to spend two mid-week days in a cold and rainy resort? In the Georgia example I am looking at, there is nothing one can do to reasonably get occupancy high enough even to break even — the mid-week and winter off seasons are too much of a drain if the lodge remains open during these slow times.
The only possibility is selling to the business meeting market, to try to get businesses to come in. This is a tough sell anyway, particularly in this area of the country, but it also requires some minimum facilities. Small lodges don’t work well, and there needs to be good meeting space, good A/V and internet infrastructure, and catering capability. And even if all this capability exists, there will not be meetings all the time and the rest of the time the costly capability will just sit unused, burning money.
Which leads to another inherent problem with government management of recreation — their labor force tends to be both expensive and, more importantly, inflexible. One reason they cannot just shut down for the winter is that it begs the question, what do we do with all of our salaried staff? One reason companies like mine can offer such large cost reductions without sacrificing service is that our labor force is enormously flexible. I have mobile employees (in RV’s), some of whom want year-round work and some of who only want seasonal work. This allows us to match staffing to demand better, so we don’t pay a 30 person staff in the winter to sit around looking at empty parks.
A couple of thoughts. First, of all the different kinds of public parks, is there any type with a more proven track record of successful private management than golf courses?
Second, God forbid anyone make a profit. I am sure the state is losing money on the operation, so why do they care if someone makes a profit if their loss goes away and the golf course remains open to the public?
Third, this just shows lawmakers again talking without any knowledge of the subject. All private management deals include rent payments back to the state, so whether the private entity makes money or not, the state is going to convert a current loss to a gain via rent payments. In effect, private cost reductions and performance improvements result in additional surplus, and that surplus is split with the private company retaining some as profit and paying some out to the state as rent. Win-win.
The Goldwater Institute responded to recommendations that state parks be funded through a new license plate fee with a simple suggestion of its own: instead of raising taxes for parks, keep them under state ownership but let one or more private companies manage them.
Senator Barbara Leff wrote and won approval for Senate Bill 1349, which gives the Arizona Parks Board authority to immediately contract with a private company to run state parks. Despite an offer from a Phoenix-based company, the parks agency has shown little interest and even outright hostility to the idea.
As an alternative, local communities have been making extraordinary efforts to keep open parks they deem important to their local economies.While private contracting is not always simple, its benefits in this case are clear. Parks would stay open and the state budget would face less pressure. Unfortunately, the State Parks Board has shown little willingness so far to move on this important issue.
City Controller Wendy Greuel released an audit today showing that various City departments could not locate hundreds of items purchased with taxpayer funds, and that hundreds of other items had been sitting unopened or unused for up to 7 years….
* Of 254 items that we attempted to locate, 115 were not where they should have been. While 56 items were ultimately found in the wrong location, 59 were unable to be located at a cost of $938,000.
—Some of the items that were never found included a video recorder purchased by ITA for almost $60,000.
* Departments are supposed to conduct a physical inventory of items every two years to maintain accurate physical inventories of equipment. ITA and Sanitation have not conducted a review in at least 5 years and Recreation and Parks has not conducted a review of all items in at least 7 years.
* ITA and Recreation and Parks have 138 items that were purchased at least 1 year ago, still in warehouses or staging areas. These items are worth $237,000, and some were purchased over 7 years ago.
—Some of the items not placed into service included 9 microwaves, 1 deep fryer and 2 television sets by the Recreation and Parks Department and various computer equipment by ITA.
Parks are closing around the country for lack of money.
The NY Times has a surprisingly fair article this week about the near-impossibility of firing an NYC public school teacher:[I]n the two years since the Education Department began an intensive effort to root out such teachers from the more than 55,000 who have tenure, officials have managed to fire only three for incompetence. Ten others whom the department charged with incompetence settled their cases by resigning or retiring.
It’s not as though the city hasn’t tried.
So it took 16 lawyers/administrators two years to get rid of 13 teachers. Practices that would immediately bankrupt a private company are considered normal for the public sector. | 2019-04-19T14:52:04 | http://parkppp.com/category/advantages-of-private-management/ |

My husband, Caleb, and I met in college and the rest, as they say, is history.
And by we, I mean Caleb. Caleb decided we needed a break for a while.
And by a while, I mean seven agonizing months during which I was devastated and pitiful and, well, I won’t go into the gruesome details of it all because that’s not the point of the story.
The point of the story is what I learned about the character of God. Any experience like that—good or bad—is a blessing.
The hardest thing about our time apart was my lack of control. I wanted Caleb to snap out of it already. Didn’t he know this was not the plan? Didn’t he know we were supposed to be together? I wanted power to change my circumstances. I wanted to manipulate the outcome by whatever conceivable means necessary, contemplating everything from slashing his tires, because he deserved it, to baking him a cake because the way to Caleb’s heart is through his stomach. I knew I was right about us, so I wanted to just go ahead and speed through this little break up, thank you very much.
Spoiler alert: Caleb and I were married a year later. But it’s not because of anything I did. In fact, I’m convinced the only reason we ended up together is because of what I didn’t do. I did nothing at all, except mourn. That, I did entirely and frequently and outwardly. Let’s just say I fully wore out my people.
This took all the self control I could muster.
And when that didn’t work, I tapped into God’s all-sufficient grace. Rather than force, coerce, or manipulate, I did the completely opposite, counter-intuitive thing: I surrendered. I bore the heartache. I submitted to the reality of the situation. I accepted each painful moment as grace. I put all my faith in God seeing me through. I’m not saying I did any of it gracefully; I’m just saying I did it.
Rather than try to control Caleb, I controlled myself.
I learned the hard way why self control is a fruit of the spirit—because it’s who God is.
The relationship between God’s love and God’s power is mysterious. So often, the two seem to be dissonant at best and complete opposites at worst.
Perhaps we could broaden our understanding of the word power, and that would help us a bit.
It’s easy to understand God’s power as decisive and proactive, an outward exertion of might, and it is. But, have we ever considered how much power it takes to contain all of that? That God is also able to restrain his own power is revealing of just how powerful God is.
And that God is willing to restrain his own power is revealing of just how loving God is.
God’s self control is where his love and power become synonymous. They are not competing enemies, but complimentary friends. This is how John Wesley could maintain that God’s “reigning attribute” is love. Now I get it.
It turns out I was right about Caleb and me. But God has always known (and now so do I) that the ends do not justify the means where human hearts are concerned. Not even being right. After all, God is always right about us. The best control can do is the appearance of devotion, the worst is immediate and permanent back-fire. But, self control is our best shot at authentic, lasting relationship.
While we are not sad our little hiatus is long over, we are grateful for how we grew because of it. If nothing else, we don’t ever wonder if life would be better alone. Been there, done that, and it’s not better. Most of all, we saw deeper into God’s character. Rest assured that He’s exactly who He says He is, and He’s as good as can be.

nonprofit organizations. Distributions may be by a formal grant application process or by a contribution.
We are a small foundation, and since we leverage our funds by investing time in some way with most of our fund recipients, we consider only funding proposals that we have solicited, as either grant applications or requests for contribution.
If your organization is invited to apply for funding, you will receive a notice from us.
Grants proceed from an invited, written application, on our form. Grants are usually made for one year or one project. A written evaluation of the project is required from each grantee. The majority of grants are $4,000 – $10,000.
Contributions proceed from an invitation and do not require a formal application. Opportunities are researched by a Board member or advisor who then requests consideration by the Board. Contributions are made each year. The majority of contributions are $500 – $4,000.
Many of our funding decisions are made during our summer board meeting. However, proposals may be considered at any time during the year.
We generally do not consider funding for capital projects. However, when we do, we are particularly interested in building design and energy efficiency, land use, and community planning – consistent with our dedication to sustainability and to sprawl prevention.

PARIS (Reuters) - Finding friends and meeting new ones could become even more important uses for global positioning chips than getting from A to B as the technology spreads to cellphones in coming years.
Combined with mobile Internet access, GPS (global positioning system) is seen in the industry as adding a new dimension to social networking that could also have implications for the media business.
“GPS tells me that today I’m sitting somewhere at 48 degrees north, 2 degrees east. Is that really that much value if I know I’m sitting in Paris?” said Miles Flint, head of mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson.
But he saw that changing in future.
“One of the more compelling things that we might use every day is the integration of that information into knowing where my friends are,” he told the Reuters Global Technology, Media and Telecoms Summit in Paris this week.
Once people can physically find those they want to more easily — as long as those others want to be found — it can enhance the establishment of growing Internet social networks such as News Corp.’s MySpace site.
“‘Your communities in your pocket,’ I think that explains where we’re headed quite well,” Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said earlier this month at a shareholders meeting.
Industry executives still disagree over how quickly satellite navigation will find its way into phones.
The chief executive of chip maker CSR, John Scarisbrick, told the Reuters Summit his company was expecting to see a quick uptake of GPS chips in phones as prices fall.
But Alain De Taeye, chief executive of digital map supplier Tele Atlas, voiced doubts.
“I’m incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunities. However, the last time I was incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunities, it took 20 years to realize them,” De Taeye said.
Nokia is already betting on GPS-enabled phones and most top handset suppliers are expected to come out with models soon, though Flint gave no date for when Sony Ericsson would start building GPS into its phones.
The first selling point for GPS phones is as a tool for users to find their way around, but many believe the social networking similar to that helped by MySpace, Facebook and Flickr Web sites is what will deliver mass appeal.
An Amsterdam company, recently acquired by small Finnish mobile phone maker Benefon, is currently building a social networking application for GPS-enabled phones.
The service, branded GyPSii, will allow users to upload pictures, videos and sound clips recorded with their phones that are automatically encoded with the location where the picture was taken or the recording was made.
Users can see where their friends are and see and search each other’s saved places.
The company’s founders, Dan Harple and Sam Critchley, believe that eventually, these place marks will grow into a database that will deliver more relevant search results because the company also records data on who submits what and when.
A 40-year old man searching on a Wednesday evening for a place to meet friends for drinks might get different results to a 16-year-old girl doing the same search on a Saturday night.
Sitting on board a canal boat in Amsterdam, Harple said the venture was not exactly of a scale that was likely to bring down Google.
“But we will deliver a different type of search results. We’re not just crawling the web, content is being pushed from the ground up,” he said. | 2019-04-22T14:38:06 | https://uk.reuters.com/article/specialeventii-summit-satnav-phones-dc/positioning-phones-to-create-new-social-networks-idUKL1763708820070517 |

Ten people have learnt it does not pay to break fisheries laws, with more than $4,000 in fines issued by Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) in the Limestone Coast during December 2018.
PIRSA Fisheries Officers were out in force during the busy Christmas holiday period to ensure recreational fishers were abiding by the rules.
A 53-year-old man for taking over the bag limit of Rock Lobster while diving near Nene Valley.
A 20-year-old man, a 42-year-old man, a 51-year-old woman and a 57-year-old woman for taking undersize Abalone from the intertidal zone near Port MacDonnell.
A 62-year-old man for using an unregistered Rock Lobster pot in a prohibited area for rock lobster pots near Port MacDonnell.
A 42-year-old man and a 30-year-old man for taking undersize fish near Port MacDonnell.
A 74-year-old man and a 56-year-old man for using drop nets illegally in an area closed for using drop nets, near the Port MacDonnell Breakwater.
In addition to the fines, a 52-year-old Mount Gambier man was detected storing Rock Lobster in a corf. It is alleged the man, a recreational fisher, stored Rock Lobster illegally and took over the daily bag limit of Rock Lobster, some of which were undersize. The man will likely face court at a later date.
Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Tim Whetstone said the fines were a reminder if fishers don't do the right thing, they will be caught.
"It's great to see many South Australia's enjoying recreational fishing over the summer period, however, you must follow the rules," said Minister Whetstone.
"The rules are in place to ensure our popular fish species continue to thrive. Most recreational fishers do the right thing because they are passionate about making sure our fish stocks remain healthy."
Following these fines, fishers are reminded that any person over the age of 15 can use two Rock Lobster pots registered in that person's name. The registered pot must be attached to a line by a red buoy, not less than four litres in size, with the registered tag issued by PIRSA affixed.
The public are encouraged to contact the Fishwatch hotline on 1800 065 522, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, when they see any suspicious or illegal fishing activity. Fishers can also access information about bag and size limits, protected species and closures by downloading the free SA Recreational Fishing Guide app. | 2019-04-21T04:14:19 | https://www.pir.sa.gov.au/alerts_news_events/news/fisheries_and_aquaculture/festive_fishers_fined_in_the_limestone_coast |

Polymer materials suppliers Borealis (Vienna) and Borouge (Abu Dhabi) have developed a high-flow, heterophasic polypropylene copolymer for the production of medical and diagnostic devices. The addition of Bormed BJ868MO to the Borealis Bormed portfolio of polyethylene and polypropylene products was announced this week at Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West in Anaheim, CA, and Pharmapack 2019 in Paris.
Borealis Bormed BJ868MO was developed for the express purpose of enabling Borealis and Borouge healthcare customers to achieve full regulatory compliance in the production of medical and diagnostic devices such as pipettes. Bormed BJ868MO is under the umbrella of the Bormed Concept, which guarantees Borealis and Borouge customers a secure, long-term supply of materials in compliance with European and U.S. pharmacopeia and ISO standards. The Bormed Concept includes a two-year pre-notification period, whereby customers are informed of any changes to the product. Long-term product traceability is ensured through retention of quality control data and samples.
Validation of the newly developed material was carried out in cooperation with Premix Oy, a manufacturer of electrically conductive and high frequency plastics based in Finland.
Proprietary PRE-ELEC Premix compounds have been used in automated liquid handling applications since the early 1990s. Because these electrically conductive plastic compounds enable extremely accurate liquid level detection, they are now widely used in in vitro diagnostics to ensure precise measurement.
low holding pressures and processing temperatures as well as faster cycle times that enhance sustainability thanks to reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions. | 2019-04-20T20:48:57 | https://www.plasticstoday.com/medical/borealis-and-borouge-launch-regulated-medical-grade-pp-copolymer/168146145960231 |
While I have mastered the art of eating with my hands (to the point that I have been praised my locals for how well I eat), I am yet to master the art of pouring water into my mouth while holding the receptacle away from my mouth. Such is the custom in Nepal, where you don’t get given cups to drink from. Instead, on every table in a given café or restaurant sits a bottle of water that is drunk from communally. You just don’t dare touch your lips to it. The trouble is that the receptacles come in all shapes and sizes and I find it difficult to judge exactly where above my face I should be holding it. Half the time it ends up all over my face and I look like an idiot.
I have learned for sure that the local restaurant I happened to find is a very good one indeed. It is a favourite spot for a large number of monks. Tonight I chatted to one as I left. He told me the monks like going there because they can eat as much as they want, whereas in their monastery they are only served a limited amount. I asked if they need to collect alms (like monks in Myanmar do), but he said that they don’t. Instead, they buy their food (to be cooked) and clothing, and anything else they need using money they receive from offering prayers to the public.
Newsletter 10 has been delivered to my subscribers and I have been getting some pretty supportive feedback. It really makes me feel good when I learn others are enjoying hearing about my exploits. I started tidying my room and preparing a few things for my imminent departure from Kathmandu. I am very nearly able to leave with a clear mind. | 2019-04-22T08:40:20 | https://budgieescapee.com/2018/01/07/day-647-nepal-day-73/ |
Despite improvements in surgical technique and perioperative myocardial preservation, a proportion of patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk of developing postoperative low output syndrome. Approximately 1% to 1.5% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery cannot be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass despite adequate volume loading, metabolic stabilization, physiologic pacing, and full inotropic or intra-aortic balloon support [1, 2]. In addition, 10%–15% patients with acute myocardial infarction and subsequent cardiogenic shock , and up to 20% of patients awaiting cardiac transplantation , may be candidates for more extensive circulatory support. Circulatory support may be instituted for true ventricular “assistance” for post-cardiotomy, cardiogenic shock or as a “bridge” to cardiac transplantation when a donor heart is not immediately available. In the former case, the patient’s ventricle is expected to recover and in the latter it is not. An indeterminate number of those patients undergoing ventricular assistance will fail to recover myocardial function and by default will become part of the bridge to transplant group. | 2019-04-20T10:45:12 | https://rd.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-83453-0_27 |

Thanks to Meghan Markle, black pants are no surprise on a royal outing — but when Kate Middleton decided to opt for the look, we had to do a double take. On Dec. 5, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out with Prince William at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, wearing black wide-leg pants and the very appropriately named Smythe Duchess Blazer ($695), which she paired with a white t-shirt and an L.K.Bennett Dora clutch ($285). And this time, the casual look wasn't to play sports.
While Kate often wears pants if she's participating in physical activity or visiting a center where she is expected to interact with the public, she typically goes for jeans and heels and rarely for wide-leg trousers. For this look, we can't help but wonder whether she's taken a styling tip from her sister-in-law, Meghan, who's more than once worn pants and a blazer on an official outing.
Ahead, get a closer look at Kate's outfit — as well as a few of the times Meghan's worn this kind of ensemble — then shop similar pieces to re-create the look for yourself. Honestly, we won't blame you if you've already decided to dig out your pants and favorite blazer for work tomorrow. | 2019-04-24T07:07:02 | https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/Kate-Middleton-Wearing-Smythe-Duchess-Wool-Blazer-45553877 |

Rib fractures commonly occur following blunt thoracic trauma and they are seen more frequently in the lower thoracic cage, where the ribs are relatively less protected. First rib fractures are scarce due to their well-protected anatomic locations. Generally, they occur following blunt traumas of high energy . But indirect trauma, sudden contraction of the neck muscles, stress, and fatigue fractures may also give rise to this rare entity . Close and cautious follow-up is necessary for early and late complications, because of the neighboring brachial plexus and the vascular structures. Similarly bilateral scapular fractures are rare and are related to high energy trauma . While the treatment option for noncomplicated first rib fractures is conservative, some certain scapular fractures may necessitate surgical intervention. First rib fractures may be together with scapular or clavicular fractures but on the other hand the presence of these fractures together is very rare. Herein we report a case with bilateral first rib fracture accompanying bilateral scapular fracture treated nonsurgically.
A seventy-seven-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department because of a motor vehicle accident. The patient was accepted to the trauma care unit. She was in good state of health, conscious with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15, and her hemodynamic state was stable. On physical examination, she had bilateral painful shoulder movements, bilateral tenderness of the lateral hemithoraces, tenderness on the back, and a 7 cm laceration of the scalp on the left parietal region. The hematological and biochemical blood analyses were consistent with the trauma. Bilateral first rib fractures were detected on chest X-ray (Figure 1(a)). Additionally computed axial tomography (CAT) of the chest revealed bilateral scapular fractures and bilateral limited pulmonary contusions in both hemithoraces (Figures 1(b), 1(c), and 1(d)). No neurovascular deficits were detected on the physical and radiologic examinations of the upper extremities. According to bone mineral densitometry the patient did not have osteoporosis. Conservative treatment was initiated in the intensive care unit. During the follow-up, the symptoms subsided and there was no complication. Thus, the patient was discharged with analgesics, bed rest, and bilateral body fixation for scapular fractures on the seventh day of the trauma.
Figure 1: (a) Bilateral first rib fractures (white arrows). (b) Left scapular glenoid fracture (white arrow). (c) Right scapular body fracture (white arrow). (d) Pulmonary contusion (white arrow).
Fractures of the scapula and the first rib are quite rare [1–4]. The fractures of the first rib require injuries of high energy due to its profound location and good protection by the overlying soft tissue, clavicle, and scapula . Similarly fractures of the scapula are scarce and constitute only about 1% of all fractures . Although scapular and first rib fractures commonly occur with severe blunt trauma, first rib fractures can also be caused by sudden and powerful contraction of the muscles of the neck and stress fractures can also be seen [3, 5]. Scapular fractures can also develop due to muscle spasms, electrical shock, epileptic seizures, and metabolic imbalance .
In cases of high energy trauma caused first rib fractures, fatal complications of the neighboring structures such as subclavian vasculature, brachial plexus, and mediastinal contents. Early complications of the first rib fractures are pneumothorax, rupture of apex of lung, Horner’s syndrome, injury of the brachial plexus, injury of the subclavian artery, pleurisy, trachea-esophageal fistula formation, aneurysm of the aortic arch, and abscess formation in the clavicular neighborhood . Such complications are more common with unilateral fractures rather than bilateral ones. Thus, first rib fracture cases require immediate medical attention to evaluate the accompanying life-threatening injuries . On physical examination, pulse deficit of the upper extremity, blood pressure difference between the upper and lower extremities, edema of the extremity, and motor and sensory neurological deficits must be carefully sought and CAT, magnetic resonance imaging, and electromyography studies must be applied in case of suspicion. In cases without neurovascular injuries, the choice of treatment is analgesia, bed rest, and hot compression. Late complications of the first rib fracture cases are thoracic outlet syndrome and nonunion .
Since the scapular fractures are related to high energy traumas like the first rib fractures, multiple system traumas may accompany the situation . So the patients with the scapular fractures must be examined thoroughly starting with the thoracic cage. In physical examination of the scapula, local tenderness, swelling, and painful shoulder movements may be observed. The deformation of the scapula may lead to hematoma formation and rotator cuff injury, which is characterized by the weakness in the movement of shoulder joint .
High quality X-ray and CAT are preferred for the diagnosis of scapular fracture . Three-dimensional reconstructions of CAT images may be helpful in detecting the exact type of fracture but it may be insufficient in the diagnosis of nondisplaced fractures. Thus, it must be used along with CAT scan . Such diagnostic procedures are also needed for deciding the modality of treatment. A displacement of greater than 5 millimeters of the glenoid fossa, greater than 10 mm displacement of the glenoid rim, disrupted superior shoulder suspensor complex, greater than 1 centimeter translation or greater than 40° angulations of the glenoid neck favor surgical treatment [4, 7, 8]. In scapular fracture cases which do not require surgery, bilateral shoulder joint immobilization is the treatment option .
In our case, the diagnosis was made through X-ray and CAT studies. Right-sided scapular body fracture and left-sided glenoid fracture were found to accompany bilateral rib fractures. No neurovascular or mediastinal complication was seen. Analgesics, hot compression, and bilateral shoulder joint immobilization were used for nonsurgical treatment. Immobilization was discontinued after three weeks. At the end of one-month follow-up, there was a significant decrease in the amount of pain.
Bilateral first rib fractures accompanying bilateral scapular fractures are quite rare and according to our knowledge our case is the single one in English medical literature. Although isolated bilateral scapular fracture and isolated bilateral first rib fractures may be related to indirect trauma, our case, which contains both entities, is related to high energy trauma. First rib fractures must be overinvestigated in the emergency department because of the probability of major vascular and neurological injuries that may accompany them. | 2019-04-26T12:09:39 | https://www.hindawi.com/journals/criem/2015/428640/ |
Traditional brooms just don't cut it when it comes to sweeping hair. Their bristles capture pieces of hair and stick to the bottom, which requires additional cleaning and may even cause more mess as hair is scattered around your workstation. The Barber Supplies Co. Professional Rubber Broom is crafted with a durable material that sweeps hair without spreading them around. Designed with a telescopic handle that extends from 29 inches to 50.5 inches, you can adjust to your desired length.

PM Modi Says Ayushman Bharat Insurance Plan Will be A ‘Game Changer’.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY)’ scheme, considered as the world’s largest government-funded healthcare programme covering over 50 crore beneficiaries.
PM Modi said this scheme is a “game-changer initiative to serve the poor”, which would come into effect from Sunday, is a step towards serving the poor people of the country.
“PMJAY-Ayushman Bharat is the biggest government-sponsored healthcare scheme in the world,” Modi said.
“The total number of beneficiaries from Ayushman Bharat is more than the population of America, Canada and Mexico combined. Organisations across the world will study Ayushman Bharat to study how the government funded this large-scale scheme,” said PM Modi.
How will the beneficiary be identified at the hospital? Here’s the way.. | 2019-04-23T01:56:47 | https://odnevn.com/2018/09/pm-modi-launches-ayushman-bharat-health-scheme-all-you-need-to-know-about-largest-healthcare-programme.html |

The StartUpLAB connects and facilitates organizations and experts to help develop ideas into viable businesses.
You need to be a member of StartUpLAB to add comments!
January 11th we are organizing a very special edition of Open StartUpLAB on developing future scenarios for Embassies.
Our special guest and challenger will be the Dutch Ambassador to Finland Henk Swarttouw. The Ambassador will take part in the session at our Amsterdam location.
The Open StartupLAB event will simultaneously be held in multiple locations & time zones.
Let me know if you would like to add a location or join via an online channel.
Last weeks FREE open innovation session explored the opportunity for new business models in the International Art Market. Funding for art is being cut as part of the post-economic-crisis period of recovery. Collectors are generally spending less too. This is placing artists and art organisations under pressure and pitching them into fierce competition for survival. But is it possible to create innovative ways to fund projects? Is it possible to find new revenue streams not previously tapped into? In the increasingly competitive landscape can providing art as a 'Service' be more effective in delivering increased value that will convince more people to consume and buy art?
1. Shared regional experiences with the other countries to understand what was happening in the market. It became clear that there are differences between the 3 participating locations. In Europe art is seen as a luxury for now, and funding cuts are being made that just leave 'core' organisations and projects; yet in Brazil the economy is growing, art is seen as an investment, and regional government sees art and culture as a cornerstone of economic growth, resulting in the art sector growing regionally, nationally and internationally.
2. Using the Service Innovation Canvas methodology we looked at the example of Moseley Art Trail in Birmingham as a project that has been run for three years. Although successful, the organisers ambition is to grow it in 2013 and that means more funding to support full-time project management; improved marketing; and more artist commissioning. After an explanation about how the project has worked in the past the combined groups quickly offered Service Design Thinking experience to suggest ways of improving. The first key point was understanding that for the event there are multiple stakeholders including artists of different types; space providers of different types; the wider festival organisation; and last but not least, many different types of customer... So it was discovered using Value Network Mapping that there are many different exchanges of value within these groups, and that developing a complete Value Network Map will be the first step to examine the current Art Trail business model and break it into different, yet interconnected value streams, each of which may have different revenue models attached to them, but which collectively deliver a bigger and enhanced 'service' of greater value to participants. It was also suggested that using some of the different stakeholders to co-create next years event would improve the overall 'service'; improve word-of-mouth marketing; and share the project workload. This also highlighted a need to move overall project management to a new level of co-ordination, with perhaps a need to release some specialised tasks such as curation, marketing, etc.
The result proved to be a success in both using the Service Design Canvas and Service Design Thinking tools, and the Art trail team will now be taking this further in their planning process with support from DesignThinkers UK.
After the event, it was discovered that a group of 18 artists and festival organisers from Birmingham will be visiting Belo Horizonte in 2 weeks time, with exploration of new business models part of the agenda for their trip, so at the next Start_Up_Lab on 27 April we hope to continue this conversation... Isn't it amazing what networked open innovation can do!
Friday March 30th we will organize another Open StartUpLAB. The theme of this open lab will be Art & New Business Models.
One of the physical locations is at the DT Network hang-out, Amsterdam Herengracht 265.
Contributing could mean anything :-) It's an Open Lab. You can ask a question, give us a task, help us develop the Open LAB or just join the conversation.
I'll do my best to not miss it on-line this time.
What do you mean by contributing? You can send me an email too.
This Friday we will organize another Open StartUpLAB. It's still in Beta so let me know if you would like to contribute!
And let me know if you would like to join us IRL at our creative space in Amsterdam or online.
A great first Open Lab session today. Thank you very much for hosting us online as if we've been there! Here some impressions from an online participants' perspective. | 2019-04-19T07:03:39 | https://www.designthinkingnetwork.com/group/startuplab |

Task The Department of Spatial Information (DSI) is a State Government department. The major functions of DSI is to provide accurate and timely spatial information to other Government departments, but also to make some of this spatial information available to the public. In order to provide both the government and public services , DSI has developed a number of web services that deliver this information through a number of internally developed applications. This suite of web services and applications is referred to as the DSI Online Spatial Delivery System (OSDS). DSI have a number of new projects being developed that are expected to increase the demand for its spatial data dramatically. The Executive Management of DSI have looked at a number of proposals to support these new programs. The two alternatives they are investigating are: 1. Increasing the internal DSI Data Centre capacity to host and support the new projects in the OSDS. This would probably need a 50% increase in web infrastructure and support services within the Department. This would necessitate an increase in data centre infrastructure, server numbers as well as a major increase in the bandwidth available to DSI. 2. Migrating the OSDS to a Cloud provider. This would allow DS! to continue to develop and refine the data in its internal Maintenance systems and then move a copy of the completed data to the cloud-based Delivery system for publication. DSI Management is planning to adopt Proposal 2 but have asked you to give them a report that looks at the following aspects of the proposal: 1. What delivery and deployment models should DSI adopt for a cloud-based OSDS? 2. How should DS! assess the risk of adopting a cloud-based OSDS? 3. What steps should DSI take to provide adequate security for the OSDS? Tasks Prepare a report that covers the following aspects: 1. An executive summary of no more than 1 page that summarises your report and recommendations; 2. The model that you recommend that the DSI adopt for the cloud-based OSDS. This should include any Cloud Architectures that should be deployed to support the model; 3. A review of the risks involved in migrating the OSDS to a cloud-based provider; 4. A review of the general security steps that DSI should take to secure the OSDS when deployed to a Cloud provider. Rationale This assessment will cover the following objectives: • Be able to compare and evaluate the ability of different Cloud Computing Architectures to meet a set of given business requirements; • Be able to evaluate a set of business requirements to determine suitability for a Cloud Computing delivery model; • Be able to evaluate and design an ICT Risk Management strategy for a Cloud Computing Delivery plan to meet business requirements; • Be able to interpret, evaluate and plan the Governance and Security requirements for a Cloud Computing delivery plan; • Be able to analyse and evaluate business requirements to plan a migration to a Cloud model; Marking Criteria: Question Marks Executive Summary 15 Recommended Model 25 Information Security Assessment 30 Risk Management Assessment 30 Total 100 Spelling, Grammar, Presentation (up to -5 marks) APA Referencing (up to -5 marks) Assessment Rubric Question HD DI CR PS FL Executive Summary Clear & comprehensive summary of Security and Risk assessments that highlights all major issues Detailed summary of Security and Risk assessments that highlights most major issues Good summary of Security and Risk assessments that highlights many major issues Adequate summary of Security and Risk assessments that highlights some major issues Inadequate or incomplete summary of Security and Risk assessments that highlights few or no major issues Recommended Model Clear & comprehensive summary of reasons for selecting model that highlights all major issues Detailed summary ofGood reasons for selecting model that highlights most majorissues summary of reasons for selecting model that highlights many major issues Adequate summary of reasons for selecting model that highlights some major issues Inadequate or incomplete summary of reasons for selecting model that highlights little or no major issues Information Security Assessment Clear, comprehensive assessment of InfoSec issues, critical points identified & discussed, Detailed assessment of InfoSec issues, most critical points identified & discussed, Good assessment of InfoSec issues, many critical points identified & discussed, Adequate assessment of InfoSec issues, some critical points identified & discussed, Inadequate or incomplete assessment of InfoSec issues, few or no critical points identified & discussed, Risk Management Assessment Clear, comprehensive description of Risk Management issues, critical points identified & discussed, I Detailed description of Risk Management issues, many critical points identified & discussed, Good description of Risk Management issues, many critical points identified & discussed, Adequate description of Risk Management issues, some critical points identified & discussed, Inadequate or incomplete description of Risk Management issues, critical points identified & discussed, Spelling, Grammar, Up to 5 marks may be deducted for poor presentation, spelling, and grammar https://interact2.csu.edu.au/webapps/blackboard/content/listContent.jsp?course_id=_12302_1&content id=_807034_1&mode=reset 1/2 27/04/2016 Presentation Assessment !terms —S-ITC561_201630_S_I @CSU APA Referencing Up to 5 marks may be deducted for not providing or following the proper APA style of referencing.

As he carried the glass tank out of his car, Kendall resident Carlos Zapata recalled his history breeding cobras.
"I got the first two King Cobras when I was in college. I thought they were so cool. I didn't realize they would breed so quickly, and before I knew it, I was giving them away to anyone I thought could handle them," Mr. Zapata said. "But now, I have a couple dozen of them, and my wife said it was either her or the snakes, so they have to go."
As he prepared to release the worlds largest venomous snakes on the eastern edge of the Everglades, Mr. Zapata amended his statement.
"Actually, my wife has been pretty cool with the animals overall. We still have the Mitred Parakeets, Veiled Chameleons, Green Iguanas, ferrets, heck we still have a Ball Python and Corn Snakes," he said. "She just doesn't want venomous snakes in the house now that we have a baby on the way. Please don't print anything that could possibly be deemed as a criticism of my wife."
As he used a 3-foot cane to lift the King Cobras from their tanks, he pondered the effects that one more species could possibly have on his surroundings.
"We already have dozens of exotic reptiles in Miami. Burmese Pythons and Nile Crocodiles in the Everglades. Iguanas, Tegus, and Monitor Lizards on the canal banks, Knight Anoles in the trees. What more could one species do?" | 2019-04-18T20:20:41 | http://theplantain.com/what-could-one-more-species-do-asks-man-releasing-king-cobras/ |
I’ve always felt the gaming bug, somewhere behind my eyes. Back in the mists of time I had a Spectrum 48k and dutifully wandered left and right shooting at flying toilets, and a little later I spent hours perfecting my Sonic Spin and named my pet fish after the dragons in Bubble Bobble.
But somewhere between those easy-to-handle concepts (aside, perhaps, from there being any real need for a flying toilet) and the era of gaming heaven, I lost my mojo. I couldn’t get the car out of the GTA3 garage, and you can only spend so long running at a wall in Quake 3 before you wonder what’s on the telly. If you’re going to do it, do it well, and I couldn’t do any of it at all.
Except for Morrowind. Three long years I spent exploring every cave, picking up every item, killing every enemy, creating the baddest bravest bestest character ever. And then my hard disk died.
Doomed? Yes. Though I could never play that one either.
It took the gentle nurturing of a loving pro to reawaken that desire. I can’t fault his methods: by appealing to my perfectionism, he had me scouring wikis to make sure he explored the Fallout 3 wastelands properly, and the more I “helped”, the more involved I got, and the more I understood that games don’t have to be all about twatting everything in sight.
It might have helped that the first game he took me into – knowingly, I suspect – was a Bethesda masterpiece; if you feel the need to live every part of your character’s life, it’s a Bethesda game you want. Then he followed up with Fable II, a masterpiece of gaming comedy and All Things British, and quietly I picked up the controller.
These days I have game greed, a fast-growing collection of addictions and a penchant for anything Mass Effect. It’s as well it’s a passion shared, or my dear mentor would be a gaming widower by now.
And the moral of this story is that the holy grail is out there, she just might need your help to know it. | 2019-04-26T09:47:44 | https://mrghosty.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/gamer-girlfriend-wings-pending-testing/ |

Will Poison Effectively Eliminate Rodents From Your Home? - If rodents have invaded your home, it is only a matter of time before they become not only a nuisance, but also a health and safety hazard. Many people think that the best way to eliminate rodents is to administer poison. They are under the impression that using poison is a quick and effective way. However, most animal control services would not recommend this option. People who decide to use poison, as a means of getting rid of rodents will quickly find out that they will create a bigger problem.
First of all, using poison on rodents is illegal in many states. In areas where it is legal, you might to obtain a permit to use poison. This is for safety concerns, since the poison will be lethal if children, dogs or other pets come into contact with it. If you use poison to kill rodents, it will die and be left inside your home and you will have to get rid of an animal carcass. A humane way to get rid of a rodent from your home is to place a small cage in the area that serves to trap the animal, and once inside you can set it free outside. This is a cost-effective method. A trap can be used more than once, but you will have to keep buying poison until you solve the cause of rodents entering your home.
Broona Eng, adoption manager for Wyandotte County Animal Services, said AFRP workers contacted her agency a year and a half ago about placing Kansas City animals in the adoption center at Pet Trapper. For significantly increased information, call the animal services of Kansas City, Kansas.
Pet Trapper requires animal adoption groups to contact other local groups as a courtesy. But Animal Services, she said, did not have the staff to monitor adoptions, and the animals would have been living in the store full time, she said. Though they may offer assistance with the cuddly pets, don't expect help with growling wild critters.
Declining, she said, was the responsible thing to do. Rates of return - Adoption forms issued at county shelters, the SPCA and AFRP all ask that returns be made only to the location from which an animal was adopted. Animal and carcass elimination services in Wyandotte County is dedicated to helping Kansas and Kansas City.
But some animals from the AFRP/Pet Trapper arrangement already have been turned in at Wyandotte County shelters. A landlord's no-pet rule, according to Carter, is the No. 1 reason given for returned animals in Kansas City. Wyandotte County animal services in Kansas City, Kansas, declined to comment on the situation.
There are areas for reptiles and amphibians, pocket pets such as mice and guinea pigs, and rabbits, as well as outdoor corrals for horses, llamas, chickens and other livestock. There is a holding facility with a separate entrance for use by the nonprofit Project Wildlife rescue organization. The shelter, which has veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians on staff, boasts a state-of-the-art medical center, including a surgical suite and exam, triage, preparation, recovery and isolation rooms, and X-ray facilities. There are grooming facilities, behavior-evaluation areas, three indoor adoption interact rooms and three outdoor adoption interaction/exercise areas.

Mike Taylor writes that seven years after AMP Limited acquired AXA Asia Pacific, IOOF has moved from bit-player to dominant non-institutional wealth organisation.
Few people were surprised when, shortly after ANZ announced it was looking at options to exit its wealth businesses, IOOF’s managing director, Christopher Kelaher was indicating his firm’s interest.
On Tuesday last week, both ANZ and IOOF confirmed to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that IOOF had emerged as the successful bidder for ANZ’s OnePath pensions and investments business plus the aligned dealer groups – Millennium3, RI Advice, Elders Financial Planning and Financial Services Partners.
What the ASX announcement did not say about the transaction between ANZ and IOOF but what is revealed by Money Management’s Top 100 Dealer Groups research is that Kelaher now runs what amounts to Australia’s largest non-institutional financial planning business, given that AMP Limited has always been counted among the major banks as being an institutional player.
When the ANZ dealer groups are counted alongside IOOF’s existing Lonsdale, Bridges, Consultum and Shadforth dealer group brands it equates to a presence to rival that of AMP Limited and in excess of that managed by the Commonwealth Bank and Westpac/BT.
Perhaps just as importantly for IOOF and Kelaher, the transaction with ANZ involves a 20-year strategic alliance, the upside of which will see the business gain some significant distribution benefits via ANZ’s retail banking footprint across Australia.
The bottom line, however, is that in the space of a decade IOOF via both strategic acquisitions and organic growth has emerged to sit alongside AMP Limited as the biggest non-bank providers of wealth management products and services. Taken together, the two companies arguably dominate the market.
IOOF has come a long way since it emerged as a bit player in the 2010 bitter struggle around the acquisition of AXA Asia-Pacific which was originally looking likely to fall into the hands of National Australia Bank (NAB) but which was ultimately acquired by AMP Limited after the intervention of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
In 2010, IOOF stood to gain what NAB was prepared to discard – the North Platform now being successfully run by AMP.
Ten years later, NAB has lowered its exposure to wealth via the sale of 80 per cent of insurance business to Nippon Life and only the Commonwealth Bank/Colonial First State and Westpac/BT remain fully in wealth management, albeit that the Commonwealth Bank recently sold CommInsure to AIA Australia and ANZ is clearly hoping to find a major foreign life company willing to buy its insurance business once the dust has settled on the IOOF transaction.
Commenting on the ANZ transaction last week, Kelaher pointed to the significant scale it had delivered to his company, noting that the transaction positioned IOOF as the second largest advice business in Australia by funds under advice and by adviser numbers.
“This increase in scale provides opportunity to eliminate duplicate back office functions and realise scale benefits,” he said. “IOOF has estimated run rate pre-tax cost synergies from the proposed acquisition to be $65 million per annum from FY2021, which is approximately 11 per cent of the combined cost base of IOOF and ANZ Wealth Management.
Those who have watched IOOF and Kelaher undertake previous acquisitions will recognise the strategy he is about to follow and not least the pressure the company is likely to exert on competitors as it looks to extract the maximum bang from its acquisition buck.
He also noted that ANZ had been proactive in transitioning its platform products away from higher fee legacy products towards digital distribution.
“This means that earnings have already reset and the business is now efficiently positioned for future growth,” Kelaher said. | 2019-04-18T21:03:22 | https://www.moneymanagement.com.au/features/editorial/ioof%E2%80%99s-anz-transaction-buys-%C2%A0seat-top-table |

May 2015 | Lyla & Co.
Oh hi toddlerhood. You're awesome.
I turned one last week. Saw my first monkey, giraffe and elephant. Ate 3 varieties of cake. Went on a carousal. Got my very own kitchen. Wore a tutu. Ate an ice cream. Petted a dog. Stayed up late. Had a lie in. Gave my mama extra cuddles. Waved to a cat. Learnt to pull myself up on to anything. Put my dads glasses back on his face. Crawled naked. Decided Michael McDonald 'Yah Mo Be There' is my theme song. And have almost got my first ever tooth.
This getting older thing ain't half bad.
Currently obsessed with interiors. Like obsessed.
Particularly Lyla's bedroom. Unfortunately, we are renting so limited on what we can do but once we have our own place I am going to go full on pinterest mom crazy with DIY & decorating.
Till then the 'pinning' will have to do!
There's a chance I wouldn't actually let Lyla into any of these rooms. What with her constantly being covered in pasta and a layer of grease.
Check out my Pinterest for more lovely stuff.
Visit Emma C's profile on Pinterest.
"We used to go on holidays to Dun Laoghaire", these are the words I'm going to hound Lyla with when she's older and off on a J1. Because that's exactly what Jamie and I have done, twice. We have went to Dun Laoghaire on holidays. TWICE.
This is something I heard none stop as a child, but my mam got to go somewhere a little more exotic, they went to Bray.
Anyway, we went out on our little mini break. As in, got dressed up and went out. This is a bit novel for us. The plan was dinner and drinks. A typical grown up affair.
So a walk along the harbour after dinner was called for. Obviously followed by a Teddy's ice-cream. And by that stage we were too tired and cold to go out so we were tucked up in bed by 10.30.
One day we might get our lives back, until then I'm pretty happy with my glass of wine on the sofa and falling asleep before the film ends.
I'm a little late with this post, but the last week and a half has been hectic. You see, this week saw all the craziness that is a firstborn’s first birthday.
So, I am now the insanely proud mother of a one year old little girl....and holy crap is motherhood incredibly different to what I had envisaged.
I've mentioned before how awkward I was around children. I didn’t think I had a maternal bone in my body. I knew I would love my child and be a good Mam but never in a million years did I think that I'd be the type of mother I am today.
I was always a little bit selfish, very much into doing whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted to do it. The thoughts of losing that freedom was probably what I feared most about being a parent. That and the loneliness. Because now matter how amazing your support system is (and mine is amazing) you'll still spend an awful lot of time alone with one person, who can only communicate through tears and screams. In addition to these fears, I had people repeatedly telling me 'sleep now', 'go out for dinner', 'throw away your skinny jeans', because "there'll be none of that once the baby arrives".
But what no one tells you is just how amazing it is.
Yes, it is exhausting and scary and frustrating. And yet, I have never felt so alive and so complete. I laugh more than I ever have done and my heart constantly swells with pride over ‘ordinary’ moments spent with Lyla. Like how she will point at a dog and say 'Oof' (she's so clever) or shout 'Hiya' at strangers to get their attention.
See?! That there! That's the kind of mother I never thought I'd be. When she says 'Oof', some people might not think it’s a big deal. Except it kind of is a big deal, because I'm her mother. I created her, I gave her life. And that makes nothing about motherhood ordinary. Something I never understand until I gave birth.
Each day is filled with raising this little person, creating memories, filling her with confidence and love and building her future. That's not ordinary, that's amazing.
So to all my pregnant pals, forget all the negative information and advice you’re hearing. Your days are going to be filled with love, laughter and adoration. Your going to be somebody’s world; somebody’s hero. I can happily, proudly say that being a mother is the most special thing I will ever do.
So, to the person that makes me so proud every day: Lyla Jane, you have turned my world upside down and inside out. You light up my life. You make me so proud. You make as happy as anyone could ever hope to feel.
In short: I love you. I love you. I love you.
36 hours, 23 mins and 56 seconds until B-Day.
Life is just zooming past my eyes. It feels like only yesterday I was being born and now I'm almost a fully fledged toddler.
Well, I'm sorry. You can't make me grow up if I don't wanna!
I don't even think my mom wants me to get older, she keeps saying she wishes I could be a baby for longer, so that's what I plan on doing.
So, I've reverted back to the good ol' days waking every two hours for Mom cuddles, refusing all foods (except cake, I'll eat all the cake), hanging out in my moms arms 23 hours a day, and you can forget walking, I'm staying firmly on my tush.

As you can imagine, the disciples were grieving. Jesus offered them words of comfort by exhorting them to trust in God. They could trust God’s timing and they could trust God’s plan. Jesus included the appeal for the disciples to trust in Him. Jesus had faithfully walked with them and taught them. The disciples had come to know Jesus in close proximity. Now they would have to trust in Jesus as He submitted to death on the cross.

A shy, rare migrant found in moorland habitats in summer, arriving in April and leaving in September. It resembles a blackbird in size, shape and colour, both sexes are black or very dark brown with a white crescent shaped collar at the front of the neck. Not an easy bird to see in this region but can be seen in upland areas when out walking. They feed on insects, worms and berries and nest in rock crevices and dry stane dykes. | 2019-04-19T06:56:44 | http://borders.wildseasons.co.uk/wild-summer/key-species-4/ring-ouzel/ |

What's on your Sprinkler Design Checklist?
When I first started in the industry I worked on a long line of high-end retail projects scattered across the United States. Six months after starting I got a question from a project manager about concealed space wood-structure sprinkler protection on a particular store in San Jose.
San Jose? I was positive I never worked on a project in San Jose.
A little digging later revealed I did in fact work on a small retail shop in San Jose. The only problem was that it looked just like the other 30 stores I had worked on in-between. Did I evaluate protection or even consider the combustible above-ceiling space? Did I discuss anything with the AHJ?
I quickly realized that if I didn't take project-specific design notes I'd have no way of revisiting my thought process when a question inevitably arose later in the project.
Ever since then, and not entirely due to my undiagnosed organization issues, I've been on a mad hunt to find the best way to record project notes in the cleanest and most insanely-quick process possible.
For me it's partially about recording the design thought process, and partially about reminding myself about all the considerations that need to occur for a project.
I can't say I've tried every method for project note taking, but I have used word templates, checklists, spreadsheets, OneNote files, linked databases, access databases, and the good old pen and paper.
If any one of those four items above aren't considered, the likelihood of adoption by people outside me is minimal.
Here's where I am now - an excel-based, single page note page where a quick "X" above a cell highlights the one below. If I know all of the information in a project, it can be filled out completely in less than 3 minutes.
It can be a helpful accompaniment for sprinkler contractor clients when we're submitting a bid, or helpful notes to accompany a QC set of drawings.
I'm sure your checklists and cheatsheets include a wide variety of considerations. In my attempt to better this one and incorporate the whole spreadsheet, what important elements am I missing? View PDFs below, and post your comments & feedback about important things to add here.
Find these conversations interesting? Forward to a friend or subscribe to these weekly posts here.
One thing from an AHJ perspective that I think really helps is to list the occupancy classification per IFC/NFPA. This can save some confusion later on when trying to understand maybe why something was included or not included.
Will you be adding this to the Tool Kit ?
I've gathered a few great comments/feedback thus far and should have this fully integrated into the Toolkit by the middle of next week. Thanks Mike! | 2019-04-21T04:58:56 | https://www.meyerfire.com/blog/whats-on-your-sprinkler-design-checklist |
Heartfelt bludgeon to the head short about the plight of an immigrant who comes to the US and is abused.
Insisting on making a statement about the state of immigrant life in Trump's America (a long piece of Trump speaking is included), DIWA ends up being a much too strident polemic about how bad things are. The film wants to show how wrong Trump is and that the monsters are us. This is not to say that what we see isn't what many people experience, from sexual assault to bureaucratic indifference and hostility, to bad jobs and on and on. Rather it's to say that because of a need to make a point in a small amount of time and some bad acting (the cops are terrible) the film ends up being a shrieking alarm clock we smash our hand down to turn off rather than a wake up call that gets us up and into action. Reservations aside, if this was ever turned into a feature, where the story wasn't rushed and the characters could breath then I think all my reservations would be swept aside.

I’ve always thought plants make a home. They bring personality, life and a calm quality to a room and let’s face it, they look great! They’re also a great accessory for when you don’t know what to do with a space or corner in a room and can be beneficial to our health. Some plants can purify the air which can help us sleep at night, a great cleanser to all the pollutants and dust from every day life.
A lot of people tell me that they’ve never had a plant in their house and the main reasons are often, I don’t know how to look after them or I’m not green fingered and often kill them. I can assure you, I am not a plant expert in any shape or form. But somehow, I’ve managed to keep them alive and I’ve gone from having 3 plants when I moved into our house, to around 30 and counting! Here is a selection of the plants in my house and I find, very easy to look after. If I can do it, you can too!
One of the easiest plants to care for, the peace lily is great for cleaning the air as well. They mainly consist of dark green leaves and white “flowers” (although they look like flowers, they are actually white leaves). I find this plant the easiest to look after as it will tell you when it needs watering, no joke! They are far more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering, so you shouldn’t water on a schedule. In fact I wait until the leaves start to droop before I water, a great reminder!
Another fabulously easy plant to care for, I absolutely love my spider plants. My first plant came from my Mum in the form of a “baby” from one of her plants and it’s grown into a bit of a beast! They are very robust and can take a lot of abuse, which is great for any newbie indoor plant enthusiast. They like a light room, but cool temperatures and as the light increases over the spring months, they produce babies, or spider plant spiderettes which you can repot and grow into another spider plant! I currently have 5 in my house and that number is growing!
The fern is a must have houseplant in my eyes. I love the way it grows and trails over a shelf or cupboard and it is constantly reinventing itself! They are a little more difficult to look after however! They’re not so fickle as the previous plants, their environment must be spot on. They have to be in a cool place, no direct light and high humidity. I find that they thrive in my bathroom! The best way to care for these plants is to make sure the soil is always damp and to spray them with water once or twice a week, especially in the winter when we tend to have our heating on and the air can get very dry.
These are quite expensive plants, so a lot of people purchase them when they are small and watch them grow to over 7 feet! I bought one that was just over 4 feet and has grown considerably since then. I love the almost tropical, botanical feel these plants give and I think they are a fabulous addition to any home. They need bright, indirect light (the leaves will start to brown if you put them in the sun) and water them enough that the soil stays slightly damp in the spring/ summer months and slightly dry in the cooler months.
This is a hugely tolerant plant, so great for beginners. It is a slow grower and very good at being forgotten about. They can thrive in low light and not much water, but you want to look after them, don’t you? Don’t put them in direct sunlight and water them just enough so that the soil becomes dry in between. In return, they will help keep the air in your home clean and remove toxins!
The newest addition to the household, another palm like plant that gives a tropical feel to a room. The dragon tree can also grow up to 6 feet tall, but you can trim the top off if it gets out of control. It loves average room conditions, not too hot, not too cold and as with most plants, out of direct sunlight. Just do not overwater as this can cause the roots to rot.
This is the hardest plant to look after, but it has to be my favourite! I love the “zebra” texture of the leaves and the fact that the leaves are almost a red/brown colour underneath. When we first put this plant in our bedroom, we kept hearing “shuffling” noises (well, I did. Mr B was snoring his head off as usual) and I realised it was the Calathea moving its leaves at night. The plant needs water, but the water needs to be able to drain so as not to cause root rot. Lack of water and the plant leaves will begin to curl. The Calathea also likes high humidity and low light, especially in winter. So make sure you have a mister to hand to keep it looking healthy!
I have found whilst caring for my plants that it is all trial and error. The plants in my house get moved around often and I find that some will prefer rooms to others. I try to stick to a routine of watering them the same day every week (so as not to forget), but I always check how damp the soil is first to make sure I’m not overwatering them. But the best advice? Always keep them out of direct sunlight!
But, plants aren’t the only way you can bring the inside out! I have several faux plants in my house and the quality these days can make you believe you have the real thing, without all the trouble!
And finally, it’s all about the décor. We are lucky enough to have bifold doors in our kitchen and on a sunny day, there’s nothing better than opening the doors and letting the garden become an extension of the kitchen. This room used to be painted white until recently, when I decided to go green and paint it Cool Pine by Valspar and add shelving with plants on it. It now feels very homely and calming and has become more of a “garden” room than a kitchen. For the finishing touches, I added a few botanical print cushions and art work and always like to have a fresh bunch of flowers on the table.
I don’t think you have to be green fingered to look after plants. Start with the easy to look after, such as Spider plants and Peace Lilies and see how you get on. But to give your house that true Bringing the Outside In, find natural colours (green obviously being my favourite) and let as much light in as possible. | 2019-04-24T16:17:48 | https://www.houseandgardenfestival.com/article/bringing-outdoors |

What does code P0457 mean?
Code P0457 stands for Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (Fuel Cap Loose/Off).
The evaporative emissions (EVAP) system is designed to prevent hydrocarbons (fuel vapors) from escaping into atmosphere. When hydrocarbons mix with sunlight and nitrogen oxides they form smog. To prevent this, the EVAP system stores the hydrocarbons in a canister. Then, when the time is right, the hydrocarbons are pulled into the engine and burned.
The charcoal canister. As the name implies, the charcoal canister contains charcoal which absorbs and stores the fuel vapors. When the time comes to "purge" the vapors, fresh air passes over the charcoal. This releases the vapors.
Purge solenoid and valve. When engine operating conditions are correct, the purge solenoid opens the purge valve. This allows fuel vapors to be sucked into the engine and burned.
Canister vent solenoid and valve. Enhanced EVAP systems use a canister vent solenoid and valve during system self-testing. The PCM closes the valve, sealing the canister off from outside air. Then, the powertrain control module (PCM) can monitor the closed system and check for leaks.
Fill control tube. This tube is used to shut off the service station pump after refueling.
Gas cap. The gas cap contains a vent valve. This device releases fuel system pressure in the event of a malfunction.
Once the engine is shut down, the PCM closes off the EVAP system and checks for leaks. A leak at any part of the EVAP system, including the gas cap, can set a diagnostic trouble code. Code P0457 indicates the PCM has detected an EVAP leak, most likely caused by the gas cap.
The first thing to check is the gas cap. Even if the cap seems secure, it may not be sealing properly. Gas caps are inexpensive, so if you have any doubt, replace the cap. Most of the time, this code is caused by gas cap issues.
Note: It may take a while for the check engine light to go out once the cap is replaced, since the EVAP system is not always monitored by the PCM. You can either drive the vehicle until the light goes out, which might take a very long time. Or you can turn it off with a diagnostic scan tool/code reader.
If the gas cap doesn’t do the trick, a visual inspection of the EVAP system should be performed. A trained eye can look for broken hoses or visibly damaged components. If a problem is found, the issue should be repaired and the code cleared. If nothing is discovered, the next step is to check for technical service bulletins (TSBs). TSBs are recommended diagnostic and repair procedures put out by the vehicle manufacturer. Finding a related TSB can greatly reduce diagnostic time.
Without the proper equipment, finding an EVAP leak can be extremely difficult. Technicians typically use smoke machines to pinpoint the problem, as outlined below.
To begin an EVAP smoke test, the technician closes off the EVAP system. This simulates the way the PCM closes the system during self-testing.
Then, the smoke machine is connected to the EVAP system through a port in the engine compartment.
After the machine is turned on, smoke travels through the system and billows out at the point of the leak. Once the leak has been identified, it can be repaired.
Typically, a problem with the purge or vent valve will result in additional code being set, not just P0457. However, if no problems were found up to this point, it’s a good idea to test the valves. The EVAP system is not sealed unless the purge valve and vent valve are completely closed. A trained professional will test the valves by closing them and seeing if they hold vacuum.
A trained professional starts the test by closing the valve. This can be done either by jumping the valve solenoid to power and ground, or by closing the valve with a diagnostic scan tool. Note: some systems use solenoids that are normally closed, while others use solenoids that are normally open. This must be determined prior to testing.
Next, a handheld vacuum gauge is attached to the valve and vacuum is applied. The vacuum reading should hold steady with the valve in the closed position. It should drop when the valve is opened.
P0455: Code P0455 indicates the PCM has detected a large EVAP system leak.
P0456: Code P0456 indicates the PCM has detected a small EVAP system leak.
The EVAP monitor is non-continuous. This means the system is only tested and monitored under certain conditions. For code P0457 to be set, the ignition must be off, the fuel must be at a certain level and ambient temperature must be within a pre-defined range. | 2019-04-26T12:14:16 | https://repairpal.com/obd-ii-code-p0457-evaporative-emission-system-leak-detected-fuel-cap-loose-off |

A key provision in the 1997 accord between the county and Basketball Properties Ltd., the Heat’s operating arm, stipulates that Miami-Dade is to receive 40 cents of every dollar of profit after the team earns $14 million in profits. Yet, 15 years into the deal — even after a 2006 world championship and nearly two years with league Most Valuable Player LeBron James — the Heat maintains it has never come close to that magic number.
That’s because despite some profitable years, the contract allows the Heat to pay off all of its losses before declaring profitability. The team reported losses totaling $156.6 million through 2010.
Despite James’ presence, a $13 million windfall from increased ticket sales, a giant spike in food and drink concessions last year, and $72.2 million the county poured into operating the arena, the Heat remains well below the threshold of sharing profits with Miami-Dade.
“The county has little idea of the underlying conditions and financial issues that, to date, have resulted in the Arena’s failure to generate sufficient reportable net cash flow that would have allowed the county to share in the distribution of Arena excess cash flow,” the audit stated.
The county administration, in a statement Thursday afternoon, said it is improving managerial oversight of the arena agreement.
Gimenez said his office is consulting with the county attorney and will issue a status report within 90 days as requested by the inspector general.
Mazzella said the county must familiarize itself with the Heat’s complex finances and review the team’s capital budgets, including how much the Heat spends on equipment leases such as those for LED screens and monitors. The county, as the owner of the arena, should also be notified of lawsuits filed against the Heat.
The inspector general suggested the county learn how the team makes money from lucrative concessions and “premium” ticket sales, including suites. Also, the county should know more about non-basketball events at the arena, since those revenues impact potential profits, he wrote.
Mazzella also criticized the Heat, questioning $3.3 million the team spent on capital improvements. He said that money should have gone toward negating losses instead.
And Mazzella questioned certain Heat expenditures, including $12,300 spent on political contributions and $614,000 on lobbyists. The Heat said $10,000 went to a National Conference of Mayors convention in Miami, presided over by former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz.
Lopez, the Heat’s lobbyist who earned a large chunk of the $614,000 in question, called all of the team’s expenses “legitimate” and said the Heat will work harder to get its budgets to the county on time.
Eric Woolworth, president of the Heat Group’s business operations, said in a statement that the audit failed to recognize the successes of the partnership between the Heat and the county — especially the revitalization of downtown Miami — and that it gave “short shrift on the risk” the company took in undertaking construction.
Woolworth also said Mazzella misinterpreted provisions of the agreement relating to capital expenditures and business expenses.
The Heat played its first game at the AAA in 2000, after a dozen years at the old Miami Arena in Overtown. Blessed with fan and corporate support, the team pined for the millions in new revenue anticipated from the sales of expensive suites, exclusive seats and high-end retail at the new arena.
Broward County offered a better financial deal for the team to play at the BankAtlantic Center, but Heat owner Micky Arison wanted his team to remain in Miami-Dade, where he has a home.
In the end, Arison put $210 million toward construction, with the county spending $37.6 million to purchase the 17 waterfront acres along Biscayne Boulevard from the city of Miami. The county also paid a $5 million subsidy before the arena opened and agreed to give the team $6.4 million a year for operations. | 2019-04-25T12:21:34 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article1940277.html |

Thurles CBS defeated John the Baptist Hospital by 0-16 to 0-11 in the Dr. Harty Cup Quarter-Final Replay on Saturday January 19th at Dundrum.
Thurles CBS are through to the semi-final of the Harty Cup following a hard-earned victory over John the Baptist Hospital on Saturday afternoon at Dundrum.
Set in dry, calm and overcast conditions, throw-in was delayed for 10 minutes as a huge crowd descended on the West Tipperary town for this re-match of these two well drilled sides.
After a 66 score thriller 10 days previously which finished level after extra extra time, this replay proved to be a far cagier affair. While the forwards had the better of proceedings in the drawn game, players at this level will make the necessary adjustments to restrict their direct opponents and so it proved. Both sets of defences would be on top from an early stage on this occasion as some of the free scoring forwards from the drawn match found it more difficult to find space to get scores.
The game opened with two quick Thurles points, both from play by Paddy Creedon and Max Hackett. Hospital were doing well at the back but were struggling to make any impression up front and after a few bad wides, they had a good goal chance in the 11th minute. Dylan O’Shea caught a high ball in the half-forward line, broke through the Thurles rearguard and passed to Brian O’Grady. The Hospital captain looked sure to raise a green flag but instead Thurles goalie Kevin Bracken raced from his line to smother the shot. Dylan O’Shea opened Hospital’s account soon afterwards and two further pointed frees by the same player left the sides level by 0-3 to 0-3 after 17 minutes.
Hospital were playing the better hurling at this stage but missed nine first half scoring chances and failed to score from play in this period which was a significant barrier to their chances. Thurles on limited possession hit the front again with a pointed free by Devon Ryan in the 21st minute and a Paddy Creedon point from play soon afterwards. Dylan O’Shea would add another pointed free in the 24th minute but two further pointed frees by Devon Ryan ensured Thurles would lead by three points at half-time, 0-7 to 0-4.
Hospital got their first point from play in the 34th minute courtesy of midfielder Patrick Reale before another midfielder, Kieran Moloney, got on the scoresheet a minute later to restore the three-point lead for the Thurles side. Hospital were again having the better of the exchanges at this stage and though Eoin Purcell scored a point from play for Thurles, the Limerick side were now keeping the scoreboard ticking over and points from Dylan O’Shea (2 frees), Brian O’Grady and Michael Martin brought the sides level at 0-9 to 0-9 after 41 minutes.
Devon Ryan restored the Thurles advantage with a pointed free before Hospital got through for another clear goal chance as Brian O’Grady’s shot was saved by Thurles goalie Kevin Bracken who in turn averted the rebound from incoming attackers to keep a clean sheet. Referee Damian Fox had played a good advantage and Dylan O’Shea pointed the close range free which followed to bring the sides level at 0-10 to 0-10 at the end of the third quarter.
The game looked set for a grandstand finish but instead the scores dried up for Hospital as the Thurles rearguard put in an impressive final quarter. Max Hackett put Thurles in front with a point from play followed by points from substitute Luke Cashin and a Devon Ryan free to extend the lead to three points, 0-13 to 0-10. While Dylan O’Shea reduced the deficit with a pointed free in the 51st minute, the Limerick side were making little impression on the scoreboard from general play and Thurles rounded out the scoring with three unanswered points from Devon Ryan (2) and Luke Cashin to run out winners by five points, 0-16 to 0-11. In second half injury time, following an off-the-ball scuffle, red cards were shown to Thurles substitute Eoin Morris and Hospital’s Mark Quinlan.
Thurles CBS will now go forward to play CBC Cork next Saturday in the Harty Cup semi-final, a re-match of a group game played in November when CBC won by 15 points. Both schools have had difficult quarter-finals since then and this semi-final is sure to be a closer affair.
Hospital – D O’Shea 0-8 (8F), P Reale 0-1, B O’Grady 0-1, M Martin 0-1.
Subs: L Cashin for J Lanigan (10m), J Leamy for K Moloney (44m), E Morris for F Hanafin (49m), J Morrissey for D Flood (56m), J Taylor for P Creedon (59m).
Subs: P Morrissey for A O’Heney (46m), C Burke for M Martin (55m), A McNamara for R Tobin (59m). | 2019-04-26T10:28:32 | http://munstergaapps.ie/dr-harty-cup-quarter-final-replay-thurles-cbs-v-john-the-baptist-hospital/ |

The Transformative Fund Account formed 18 months ago at the Central Bank of Kenya to hold proceeds from the voluntary pay cuts has only Sh35.2 million.
Super salary-scale civil servants are ceding only Sh2 million per month to the Treasury, thwarting President Uhuru Kenyatta’s effort to cut the ballooning public wage bill through voluntary pay cuts.
Treasury secretary Henry Rotich said Transformative Fund Account formed 18 months ago at the Central Bank of Kenya to hold proceeds from the voluntary pay cuts has only Sh35.2 million.
The account also holds savings from foreign travel restrictions, hotel accommodation and other non-core expenditures.
Mr Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto — who are entitled to Sh1.7 million and Sh1.49 million per month respectively — pledged in March last year to take a 20 per cent pay cut as part of broader efforts to free up cash for investment in capital projects.
The President also directed Cabinet secretaries, PSs and heads of government departments and agencies to follow suit and take pay cut of between 20 and five per cent to reduce the wage bill adding those who defied the order would be sacked.
Later, the 18 Cabinet secretaries and 26 PSs also pledged to voluntarily reduce their salaries by 10 per cent. Last week, Mr Rotich said Sh5.2 million had been added into the account since July.
Public servants earn an average of Sh47 billion a month or Sh568 billion annually.
Mr Rotich will in the meantime form a team to oversee the spending of the amount accumulated so far as Transformative Fund on development projects.
“We will constitute a team to advise or propose transformative projects as the fund builds up,” he told the Business Daily.
Failure by civil servants to embrace voluntary pay cut points to the herculean task that awaits Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba in his latest bid come up with a legislation chopping salaries of senior public officers by 50 per cent.
Apart from the top government officials in Mr Uhuru’s scheme, Mr Namwamba is targeting the Judicial Service Commission and Parliamentary Service Commission staff. A number of politicians, including national assembly speaker Justin Muturi, have dismissed the plan as populist.
President Kenyatta had, on the other hand, counted on the goodwill of the senior staff of his administration to rein in public wage.
Cabinet secretaries, who earn Sh1.12 million, would each surrender Sh112, 000 per month to Treasury and PSs Sh91,000 each from their Sh910,000 pay.
This means that the account should be holding more than Sh70 million from deductions made on the pay of Cabinet and principal secretaries alone over the 18 months.
The public service also has more than 200 chief executives of State- owned firms.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) had raised the red flag over the Sh568 billion wage bill, saying it is unsustainable.
The public wage bill takes up 52 per cent of government revenues, higher than the global average of 35 per cent for nations in the lower middle-income category, where Kenya belongs.
State officers have to first write to the SRC, led by Sarah Serem, declaring that they are giving up a share of their pay. | 2019-04-19T03:18:53 | https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Top-officials-ignore-Uhuru-on-voluntary-pay-cut-call/-/539546/2887820/-/ltg91gz/-/index.html |

In this past week’s episode of Inside Crowdfunding, Alon and I sat down with Richard Bliss of the Funding The Dream podcast. What ensued was almost an hour of fascinating input from Richard on rewards-based crowdfunding strategy, platforms, campaigns and the hustle it takes to be successful.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to come from the discussion was Richard’s insight into Kickstarter as a platform. Although Kickstarter is one behemoth brand, the site is also very much a collection of communities. It was a really interesting point and one that I tend to agree with.

Leo is such a goof, and yes still gets into puppy trouble! He got ahold of the harness for walking and chewed it, so now he gets a new harness. He is learning that if he sits by me instead of getting pushy that he will get some much deserved attention. He is getting along great with his foster brothers and they get short play sessions together. He does like to play a little rough sometimes, but Leo is learning that rough play is not the right kind of play. It is amazing to see him learning to trust his foster family more and more every day. Leo is a wonderful boy and it going to grow up to be a big beautiful goofball that will be as loyal as the day is long. He is so lovable, just needs a little guidance like all dogs at his young age do. He is a very smart boy and we capitalize on that with training. He is learning many new things and picks up the routine quickly. This boy has a bright future and he will continue to learn to be the best golden he can be! I will keep you posted on his progress. | 2019-04-25T04:46:42 | https://www.grrow.org/blog/2018/10/17/leo-18-036-active-dog-update-grrow |
