In New York City, the backroom kingmaker is a dying breed. County leaders and their party organizations are losing clout. Pharaonic bureaucrats like Robert Moses are no more.
But there are always holdouts. Men — yes, they are usually men — who lurk in the shadows to take hungry bites out of the pie while telling others how to eat. From the old world to the new, it seems like there will always be Stanley Schlein, as eternal as midafternoon bottleneck on the Cross-Bronx Expressway.
Longtime journalists and political watchers know of Schlein, but the Bronx Democrat usually manages to escape the spotlight, despite the tremendous influence he wields in his home borough. Maybe it’s because the Bronx isn’t Brooklyn. Maybe he just knows how to be discreet.
Schlein, 69, is a lawyer and lobbyist, the Bronx Democratic Party’s enforcer and de facto boss. He remains the party lawyer, defending petition challenges in court and knocking challengers off the ballot. He has forged close ties with mayoral administrations dating back to Abe Beame’s.
When the Yankees wanted a new stadium at taxpayers’ expense, they hired Schlein to make it happen. When Bill de Blasio needed a good election lawyer for his Public Advocate and mayoral campaigns, he picked Schlein. When the Bronx Democratic boss Jose Rivera wasn’t loyal enough, Schlein orchestrated a coup and installed a loyalist named Carl Heastie as county leader.
Heastie is now speaker of the Assembly, one of the most powerful men in the state. When Heastie was elected to the post in 2015, he gave up his chairmanship of the Bronx Democratic Party and handed it to a relative neophyte, 36-year-old Assemblyman Marcos Crespo.
Bronx Democrats and political watchers agree Schlein, with a bosom buddy in the speakership and an untested hand running the machine, is as powerful as he has ever been. A survivor of myriad scandals over the years — he was ousted from the Civil Service Commission for misusing city resources and barred from his plush gig as a court-appointed guardian for mishandling cases — these days Schlein collects cash lobbying for major clients like the New York Hall of Science, Dominion Voting Systems and Cigna Health Insurance.
Lawyers for Democrats alienated from the county organization have not been allowed in party headquarters as their petitions were being processed because the Democrats did not retain Schlein, one damning lawsuit alleges. And Schlein has been accused of installing county committee members — the unpaid officials who are supposed to have say in the party’s decision-making —without properly putting them in front of voters.
When someone with money needs a favor out of the Bronx’s City Council delegation, they know who to call. A Bronx megamall developer, Grid Properties, needs the rubberstamp of Councilman Andy King for their project to go forward. To lobby King, Grid Properties has retained Schlein to push for the proposed Baychester Square Mall. King told the Norwood News he is against the project — for now.
For progressives now calling for the Independent Democratic Conference, a renegade faction of eight Democrats aligned with State Senate Republicans, to ally with regular Democrats or just dissolve altogether, they’ll find plenty to dislike about Schlein. Though he serves as the attorney for the Bronx Democratic Party, which in theory should be opposed to such an arrangement (Heastie, supposedly, is wary of the IDC), Schlein rakes in cash representing State Senator Jeff Klein, the IDC’s leader, and State Senator David Carlucci, an IDC founding member.
Klein paid Schlein $10,000 for petitioning expenses in 2012, 2014 and 2016, according to public records. Schlein made even more from Carlucci, a Rockland County lawmaker, raking in about $55,000 over the same time period. Schlein also was the attorney for Shawn Morse, an IDC-backed Democrat who ran in a primary against State Senator Neil Breslin in 2012.
Unlike Queens, where the county leader reviles the IDC (and one of his district leaders runs a consulting firm with a lucrative arrangement with the Senate Democrats), the Bronx has no such qualms about the breakaway Democrats. Schlein can make a buck from both sides. He’s too pivotal for anyone to complain.
And he does not much like talking about his work.
“I don’t really have time to speak with you,” he said. “But thank you for your call.”

Remote Work Policy: Why You Need it for 2020 and Beyond
2020! A year no one will forget, at least not for the next decade.
In the wake of COVID-19, the world faced one of the biggest work from home experiments. Turns out the experiment might stay with us for quite a while now. Large organizations like Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Twitter, Google, Salesforce, Chevron, and Spotify have already rolled out mandatory work-from-home policies.
At some companies, remote working has been declared until July 2021.
A new set of policies need to be carved – a remote-work-policy. Well, this is not how we all have imagined 2020 to be, however, this gives us a great chance for a reset in our lives.
It is a challenge for the human resource industry, especially the HR leaders.
Organizations that are looking to hire new talent might need to offer the candidate a mix of remote work and an in-office culture or perhaps full-fledged remote working.
Here’s what you need to keep in mind to start making working from home the new normal:
- Design a work-from-home policy to address shortcomings of the current situation.
- A structured plan to shift workers toward remote working.
Also, we will talk about why organizations need to stress more on remote work policies and why we need them more than ever.
- Offers transparency for the job candidates
Having a structured plan about shifting to remote working can be an added benefit for job candidates and the current workforce. With the current situation, you can expect candidates seeking clarity about the work-from-home policies.
The organization will also be under evaluation by the job seeker based on how well the employer handled the pandemic situation and made a smooth transition.
- Can give a leeway for the current workforce while working remotely
Workers expect a little more flexible work from home policies – a balance between utilizing technology and managing personal schedules.
For instance, an employee who needs to visit a nearby hospital might want to work from home until it’s the time of their appointment, then perhaps continue the work later. Doing this allows the employee to waste less time traveling and more time on their work before they visit the hospital.
- May get the company losing more employees
Although your organization has a long tradition of doing most of the work on the onsite, it still holds accountability if remote work wasn’t part of the preparedness. For instance, certain situations may rise like a natural disaster or a disease outbreak, therefore, such companies should be prepared in making remote work easy for employees.
A company that has planned before even a disaster strikes are said to be the most successful. Staying prepared helps an organization maintain productivity, prevention of huge loss, and avoiding the chaos.
The foundation of a successful work-from-home policy is based on three factors:
- Structure: every organization has a set of structures while leading a workforce. But perhaps, a different structure may be needed to keep every generation to be creative and promote productivity. For instance, it is studied that millennials and Generation Z tend to perform well with a structured work from home model. A structure can help even the new hire start developing their network within the organization, a connection that is even more difficult to build without an office working environment.
The work structure is applicable for both employees as well as the C-suite and the managers. The major goals must include opening platforms where everyone gets to share their ideas while building connections. Staying connected across the teams and at an organizational level. The structure should also help employees maintain focus, be innovative, and at the same time balance responsibilities at home.
- Connection: staying connected while not being able to physically engaged is one core aspect that an employee needs to adapt while working from home. The ones who feel they’re connected are the ones who know how to connect with their team members or their managers. But staying connected with the higher management or the C-suite may still be a challenge. The only way to combat this feeling is by planning ahead of time.
- Accountability: employees should be able to reach out to their managers, be it while working in an office environment or at a remote workplace. It is likely possible for managers to behave recklessly at times while working from home.
At times, they might even try to micromanage. Instead, conflict and stress are created where workers need to take heed responding to the managers’ inquiries while they also need to get their work done. While other managers believe their team can handle a project on their own. Thus, where the employee seeks help, the manager won’t be reachable. Such situations can be unnerving. Therefore, regular check-ins and connectedness amongst the team are mandatory.
Each of these factors plays a fair part while helping employees make a swift and smooth transition of remote working.
Building a remote work policy is a work in progress for the future.

Today I’ve left work and one of my colleagues who’s a father of two was playing Destiny 2 on Windows. Well, I’m a Linux fan and the only games I have available are the ones on the Steam OS + Linux category. Which fall short of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (which I play in Competitive mode because public is sooo much full of d-bags) and Bioshock.
In all honesty, I just got the wake-up call that I haven’t been playing in the last 3 or 4 years pretty much anything. Funny of all, I worked in a gaming company, so games should’ve been somewhat in my target, no? Well, they haven’t, as I was too much concentrated on the day-to-day activity of the project. Which is a bummer. The last 30 minutes or so playing a T vs. CT competitive match, allthough we lost, were the most fun moments at the computer I had in a while.
Nate Kupp currently holds the position of Director of Infrastructure and Data Science at Thumbtack and has presented this year his talk and success story entitled: “From humble beginnings: building the data stack at Thumbtack”. This is one of the presentations I’ve enjoyed much because it was similar to one of the pains I’ve also experienced in my day-to-day work.
A difference between Nate’s approach and mine is the executivesponsors (and a bit of luck of being in the right place, right time and the right management mentality). My experience on the other hand is, from my perspective a failure, but for others a small success against overwhelming odds.
Yesterday my wife proposed we do a quick Sunday walk to Bucharest’s Botanical Garden in the early part of the day, right before noon around 12:00/13:00 when our little exactly 1.7 year old (today) bundle of joy goes for the mid-day nap.
I agreed for two reasons: (1) the botanical garden isn’t all that crowded and (2) it’s big enough for the baby to run around. It’s not the best of parks or recreational areas, in terms of arangements or venues, but it’s the most diverse in terms of colors and the display of plants, in comparison to other parks.
As stated earlier, Andrey Sharapov’s presentation on “Building data products: from zero to hero!” has given me many motives to talk. And I can’t seem to stop with the ideas of things to write about. Maybe probably because I’ve been, at my current employer, at the time of writing, through the same pains as the guys at Lidl did. And those pains are centered around the management of data people, be them engineers or scientists.
The featured image of this article present a young female manager asking: “How are you?” and getting a cryptic reply: “About half a standard deviation below the mean …” which in some languages goes by as swearing or rude behaviour. But in all honesty, although English, these people come from very different backgrounds, with slight variations of vocabulary (and understanding, not that one is less of an educated person from the other as management itself is a hard discipline also as it involves a few areas of sociology, economics and more).
This year at CrunchConf 2018 there was an interesting talk by Andrey Sharapov an Data Engineer & Scientist at Lidl. Yes, Lidl. The store in your back alley or in your neighbourhood. Did you know it does Big Data? I assumed, yes, given one wants to optimize both the idea of minimizingwaste and increasing profits (eg. how much of X do one store needs to order to ensure it’s gone by EOD).
Andrey’s talk was centered around “Building data products: from zero to hero!” and I would personally want to apraise the realism of his presentation which gives me content for more than one article on the subject. He’s one in a series of presenters at this year’s conference that has called out to the strategy of companies of investing too much in data scientists, then finding out they don’t have an infrastructure those scientists need, then trying to find data engineers a bit too late in the game (which are even more scarce than scientists).
With the occasion of the CrunchConf 2018 there was a presentation on “Operating data pipeline using Airflow @ Slack” from AnanthPackkildurai. If you don’t know what Airflow is, it’s an workflow engine of the similar likes of Oozie and Azkaban. It’s based on the concept of a DAG which you write in Python and execute on a cluster.
As in the case of the Kafka presentation by Tim Berglund, we’ve asked the hard questions and they got popular pretty soon. In the case of Airflow, in the eco-system of workflow engines, we had quite a heavy question.
Just got back from CrunchConf 2018. A good panel of speakers and an interesting conference. Lots of food and drinks. Good atmosphere, helpful organizers. Fun times, good memories. The conference was a blast with most of my questions hitting the top votes with a little help from the community.
I decided in the context of the conference that I will share my thoughts on the presentations, at least for those that were intriguing and for those that my questions got the top votes. All in all, I would like to appraise good presentations, devoid of hype and commercialism. There seems to be some hype in today’s world around the Big Data projects, with the naive jumping ship to the next cool project.

Steven Pinker is one of the most influential public intellectuals of the early twenty-first century.
His work also tends to annoy my colleagues in the peacebuilding world.
For all the wrong reasons.
In this and his previous The Better Angels of our Nature, Pinker makes the case that humanity has made a lot of progress. In the earlier book, he made the case that we live in the least violent period in human history. Although his evidence was compelling, many of my colleagues bristled at his argument because they felt that he was downplaying the severity of the problems we face–and my colleagues and I work on–today.
He takes that argument even farther in Enlightenment Now and argues that we are better off on almost every scale imaginable. That is the case because over the last three centuries or so so, our ancestors used reason, science, and humanism to produce progress on a host of fronts. Again, his evidence is overwhelming even though his critics rightly point out that he cherry picks his evidence enough to downplay some of the most important countertrends as in this review in the New York Times (paywall).
To some degree, those critiques are misguided.
Pinker is no pollyanna. He understands that the world still faces serious difficulties, something he was well aware while putting the finishing touches on his manuscript during the first year of the Trump administration. Thus, as he states on p. 324,
As societies have become healthier, wealthier, freer, happier, and better educated, they have set their sights on the most pressing global challenges.
But to be fair to his critics, my wife pointed out that this comment comes on p. 324, not p. 3.
And, he goes on to make the argument that we should be better able to take advantage of the enlightenment’s tools given the fact that we now understand a lot more about entropy, the environment, and, especially, information science.
That is where I find his argument less compelling. As he suggests at a number of points in the book, the better angels of our nature are not bubbling to the surface much these days. As he realizes, science in all its guises is under sharp attack in the United States and beyond. And more.
In other words, even though I loved the book, I’m skeptical on two fronts.
- I’m not convince that science and reason alone can reverse the dangerous trends in European and American society today.
- Even more importantly, I’m not convinced that the kinds of scientific and reasoned approached developed over the past three hundred years are going to take us far enough in dealing with the complex problems of our globalizing world that the pessimists (and my fellow peacebuilders) focus on.

The joint changes associated with arthritis can begin in your 30s - and sometimes earlier. Dr. Kasendorf helps patients in and around La Jolla, CA, manage arthritis pain and stiffness and regain mobility so they can enjoy activities without discomfort.
Arthritis is a disease that affects the surfaces of the joints, causing the protective layer of cartilage that lines most joints to break down. Although the risk of osteoarthritis is greatest among older men and women, it can occur at any age. In addition to the natural effects of aging, arthritis can also develop in a joint following an injury. A second type of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the joint tissues. There is no cure for either type of arthritis, but there are ways to manage pain, reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility.
What are the symptoms of arthritis?
The most common symptoms of both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are pain and stiffness in the affected joint, decrease range of motion in the joint and often, warmth or swelling in the area around the joint. When most people think of arthritis, they think of it affecting the hands, hips or knees, but arthritis can occur in any joint, including the neck and other areas of the spine.
How can Dr. Kasendorf help me relieve the symptoms of arthritis?
First, Dr. Kasendorf will perform a physical exam to gain an understanding of your symptoms and the underlying causes. He also may order x-rays, MRIs or blood tests. As a skilled osteopathic physician, Dr. Kssendorf has extensive training in the musculoskeletal system, its function and the diseases that affect it, including arthritis. After your evaluation, he will prescribe a treatment approach that may include regular osteopathic manipulations, lifestyle changes such as losing weight to ease the stress and strain on joints, or a modified exercise program to reduce stiffness and regain mobility. Medication may also be prescribed in conjunction with other therapeutic recommendations to help reduce inflammation around the joints.
Cancer Pain Managment
Dr. Kasendorf is experienced in helping cancer patients from throughout the La Jolla, CA, area manage the pain associated with all types of cancer, using a whole-health approach to stimulate the body's natural pain-relieving processes.
Osteopaths help patients tap into the body's natural healing properties to reduce pain and inflammation and relieve the stress and anxiety that often accompany chronic illnesses such as cancer. Using techniques like massage, gentle stretching, joint and muscle manipulation, and cranial osteopathy (gently manipulation of your spine and neck), Dr. Kasendorf can pinpoint locations causing pain and help relieve associated strain and inflammation. Plus, he'll work with you to determine if additional pain-relieving medication or changes in lifestyle might aid in providing relief.
Is osteopathy a good choice for every cancer patient?
While osteopaths can provide treatment for any cancer patient, not all osteopathic techniques are recommended for all types of cancer. Osteopathic manipulation, especially techniques using thrust for instance, may not be appropriate for patients who:
- have bone cancer
- have cancer involving the bone marrow
- also have other diseases such as osteoporosis, inflammatory diseases, infections or multiple sclerosis
- are currently undergoing radiation treatments
- are taking blood thinners
Some oncologists (cancer doctors) and osteopaths also may not advise undergoing osteopathic manipulation during chemotherapy, so be sure to discuss your treatment with Dr. Kasendorf right from the start to ensure you get the most appropriate, most effective and safest treatment.
How can I tell if osteopathy is the right choice for my cancer-related pain?
The best way to learn how osteopathic treatment may help your symptoms is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kasendorf and discuss your condition with him in depth. Dr. Kasendorf is experienced in helping cancer patients manage their pain through a variety of whole-body techniques, and he can work with you to develop a plan of treatment that's designed for your unique health needs and the cancer treatments you're undergoing.
At his La Jolla, CA, practice, Dr. Kasendorf uses the most advanced medical treatments including regenerative medicine for men and women suffering from joint-related diseases and disorders.
Sometimes called prolotherapy or proliferative therapy, regenerative medicine uses a series of injections of solutions into the joint spaces to promote the body's natural healing processes, strengthening joints and helping heal injuries. The solutions contain anesthetic agents to help relieve pain as well as other ingredients custom-tailored to each patient's unique needs. The goal of prolotherapy is to help restabilize joints that have become injured or weakened through trauma or disease.
How does regenerative medicine work?
When the body is injured, specific repair processes are initiated that can help mend tissues and strengthen the site of the injury. Regenerative medicine seeks to trigger these repair processes by causing what's known as a controlled injury. By forcing the body to recognize an injury site, regenerative medicine encourages the development of new tissues that strengthen weakened tendons, ligaments and other structures. Additional treatments over time help continue the strengthening process by laying down successive layers of tissue to restore mobility and strength and to repair damage.
What conditions can be treated with regenerative medicine?
Regenerative medicine can be used to treat conditions affecting many different joints, including the knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, back, neck and hands. It can also be used for the treatment of tempomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and carpal tunnel syndrome.
What is treatment like?
Regenerative therapy differs with each patient and each condition, but generally, it involves a series of precisely-targeted injections over time. Some patients report mild swelling or discomfort typically associated with any type of injection, but these effects dissipate soon after treatment. Dr. Kasendorf will be able to tell you how many treatments you will be likely to need to get the maximum effects of regenerative treatment for your needs.
Dr. Kasendorf uses state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques including electrodiagnostics (EMG) to determine the cause of nerve and muscle disorders so patients can resolve their symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.
EMG stands for electromyography, a procedure that's used to diagnose issues affecting the muscles and the motor neurons (nerve cells) that control them. EMGs are especially helpful in diagnosing nerve-related pain following a traumatic or repetitive use injury. The EMG device uses electrodes to transmit and detect tiny electrical nerve impulses between the nerves and the muscles. Some EMGs use electrodes that adhere to the surface of the skin while others use needle electrodes with fine needles gently inserted into the affected muscle. During the test, the electrodes are used to gather information about the nerves and muscles which can be interpreted as graphs or numerical values for assessment.
Why is an EMG performed?
Dr. Kasendorf uses EMGs to assess patients with symptoms such as:
- muscle cramping
- muscle pain or weakness
- numbness or tingling
- pain in the limbs
It may also be used to evaluate treatments in patients with known diseases affecting the muscles, nerves or muscle-to-nerve connections such as peripheral neuropathies, muscular dystrophy, carpal tunnel syndrome or herniated discs.
How is an EMG performed?
EMG testing usually is performed while you're lying down on an exam table. During the test, the doctor will place electrodes at specific spots on your body depending on the symptoms you're experiencing, using either surface electrodes adhered to your skin or tiny needles inserted into the muscle tissue. The electrodes are used to send mild electrical currents through the muscle tissue, and to record data that can be used to evaluate muscle and nerve issues. You may also be asked to contract or relax muscles during the exam. Following a needle EMG, you may have some slight bruising in areas where the needles were inserted, but this should resolve within a few days.
Recognized as a leading rehabilitation specialist in the La Jolla, CA, area, Dr. Kasendorf uses state-of-the-art rehabilitation techniques to help patients recover as fully and quickly as possible after injury or surgery so they can enjoy optimal health.
Osteopathic medicine uses gentle manipulation and evaluation of the musculoskeletal system to determine the source of pain and other symptoms, and to treat those symptoms using a “whole patient” approach. Osteopaths focus on improving the function of the musculoskeletal system to help alleviate symptoms that can affect many aspects of health and daily living.
How can osteopathy help with rehabilitation following injury or surgery?
Because it takes a whole body approach to treatment, osteopathy is ideally suited to rehabilitation after an injury or during the recovery phase following a surgical procedure. Dr. Kasendorf uses the most advanced techniques to tap into the body's natural healing processes, including osteopathic manipulations to relieve stress and release constrictions and impingements that may interfere with normal body functions and processes. Plus, because osteopathy is concerned not just with physical symptoms but also with psychosocial issues associated with recovery and rehabilitation, the techniques Dr. Kasendorf uses can also help alleviate stress and depression for better overall health and faster healing and recovery.
Can Dr. Kasendorf help me avoid future injuries?
Many people who have experienced injuries may have weaknesses remaining after healing that can make them more prone to additional injury. Dr. Kasendorf can evaluate injury sites – even “old” ones – to develop a proactive approach for strengthening sites left weak or vulnerable following an injury. Following a complete evaluation, he may recommend exercise, gentle stretching, osteopathic manipulation or lifestyle changes to help you regain flexibility and balance as well as strength. Dr. Kasendorf understands every patient's rehabilitative needs can vary greatly, and he develops every rehabilitation program based on those unique and disparate needs for optimal results.
As a top osteopathic physician in the La Jolla, CA, area, Dr. Kasendorf helps patients achieve optimal health with osteopathic manipulations aimed at diagnosing and treating a wide range of issues, including both acute and chronic conditions.
Osteopathic medicine uses a “whole patient” approach to care, focusing on all the ways an illness or medical condition may affect the entire body, including psychosocial issues like stress and depression. Many osteopathic doctors use hands-on techniques called osteopathic manipulations to determine the underlying causes of pain, including contributing factors, so they can ensure the treatment they provide is most appropriate for the individual patient.
What are osteopathic manipulations?
Osteopathic manipulations are “hands on” treatments that can be used to diagnose causes of pain and other symptoms, treat medical conditions and prevent injury and illness. The manipulations generally involve a series of palpations to feel bones, joints, muscles and other soft tissues, as well as gentle stretching or range of motion exercises to evaluate and determine the cause of symptoms. Once the source of pain or other symptoms has been identified, Dr. Kasendorf may use techniques like gentle pressure and resistance to help relieve stiffness and pain, eliminate muscle and joint restrictions, and promote optimal health and wellness.
What medical conditions can be treated with osteopathic manipulations?
Osteopathic manipulation is widely used to treat an array of medical conditions, including:
- joint diseases and disorders
- neck and back pain
- sinus problems
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- chronic headaches including migraines
- menstrual pain
Osteopathic manipulations are also often used after surgery to help patients recover more quickly and with less discomfort, and even before surgery to ensure patients are in the best shape possible before their procedures. In many cases, using osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can help patients avoid the need for medication or surgery, and it may also help prevent minor conditions from developing into more serious issues.
Acute And Chronic Pain Management
As a leading pain management specialist in La Jolla, CA, Dr. Kasendorf is experienced in helping patients manage both acute and chronic pain so they can improve their quality of life.
Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for a prolonged period of time. Often, chronic pain is less severe than acute pain, but that's not always the case. Acute pain is pain that comes on suddenly and is often quite severe.
How does Dr. Kasendorf evaluate chronic pain?
As a doctor of osteopathic medicine, Dr. Kasendorf is concerned with the way chronic pain affects the whole individual. Pain can affect different people in different ways, and chronic pain often causes debilitating effects that can have an impact on everyday living and quality of life. Dr. Kasendorf listens closely to patients' reports of symptoms and performs a comprehensive exam which may include range of motion exercises to determine the underlying cause of chronic pain so it can be appropriately treated. In some cases, diagnostic imaging like x-rays or MRIs may also be used to aid in pain evaluation.
How can Dr. Kasendorf help me manage my pain?
After your evaluation, Dr. Kasendorf may recommend a range of potential remedies that address the physical aspects of your pain as well as the behavioral and emotional aspects – that is, the toll pain can take on your mental health. Pain has been associated with an increase in depression and stress. Dr. Kasendorf's approach ensures every aspect of pain management is addressed for the greatest improvement in quality of life. For the physical aspects of pain, Dr. Kasendorf will begin by exploring conservative options that tap into the body's natural ability to heal itself. If surgery is needed to relieve painful symptoms, Dr. Kasendorf can prescribe therapeutic activities before and after surgery to optimize your outcome.
Headache And Migraine Treatment
Dr. Kasendorf uses advanced pain management techniques for safe and effective headache and migraine treatment, helping patients throughout the La Jolla, CA, area find the relief they need from debilitating symptoms that can take a significant toll on their health and their quality of life.
Headaches can occur for many different reasons, including chronic stress, anxiety, depression and other emotional issues, or from physical causes like muscle strain, soft tissue injury, circulation problems and nervous system issues, including pinched nerves and overactive nerves. Chronic headaches including migraines can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of a person's life. The first step in treating headaches is to have a physical exam with a complete medical history aimed at identifying possible causes so treatment can be customized and targeted for better results and improved overall health.
What treatments are available for chronic headaches and migraines?
The exact treatment for chronic headaches will depend on the underlying cause, and can include techniques like:
- trigger point injections
- osteopathic manipulation
- sphenopalatine nerve blocks
- Botox® injections to block nerve receptors
Ideally, treatment of migraines and other chronic headaches is focused on preventing headaches from occurring in the first place, but medications can also be prescribed to treat symptoms of headaches that do occur.
How does Botox® work to treat migraine headaches?
Botox® is typically used in people who have many headaches each month, each one lasting several hours. Injections are given at specific points around the neck and head to help block nerve signals that have been implicated in migraine headaches. Studies have shown Botox® can help prevent migraines for up to three months in many patients, and treatment can be repeated every 12 weeks as needed.
How will I know which treatment is best for me?
Your physical exam, medical history and a detailed description of symptoms can be very helpful in understanding your headaches and the factors that contribute to them. Information gathered during your exam along with any lab tests that may be ordered will help determine the best treatment approach to bring relief for your specific symptoms.
For those dealing with addiction and dependence, Suboxone treatment can be extremely beneficial. At his La Jolla, California practice, Dr. Kasendorf offers Suboxone medication to ease opiate cravings in order to help patients break free from addiction.
Suboxone is a prescription medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone. The medication is used to help adults who are dependent on or addicted to opioids. At the practice, Dr. Kasendorf uses Suboxone to treat addiction to both prescription medications and heroin. Suboxone is used to address opioid dependence and should be a part of a program which includes counseling and psychosocial care. Patients at the clinic are referred to one of several friendly counseling centers for assistance. It can help those with addictions to OxyContin, Opana, Norco, Vicodin, Percocet, and methadone as well. Additionally, the Suboxone induction is done in the office. The office is a quiet, private and friendly environment where Dr. Kasendorf treats many different conditions.
How can Suboxone treatment help?
Suboxone treatment is focused on recovery in the long term. The office is discreet and protects each patient’s privacy. During visits for the Suboxone treatment, the office assists patients to attain the tools needed to live a life free of drugs. Prescriptions for Suboxone can be provided for longer periods of time, such as a week or a month, as compared to Methadone which is needed for refill every day. Also, Suboxone is much safer in many ways and easier to wean off. Medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine, an active ingredient in Suboxone film, can assist to lessen cravings for opioids. It is extremely important to adhere to the doctor’s suggestions and take the drug only as indicated.
What is the goal of treatment?
The goals of treatment are straightforward and achieved through hard work. The office is there for patients to help them transition off drugs and to help widen their support network in order to ease them back into a normal routine by directing them to mental health professionals. The office helps patients get healthy again so that they can start rebuilding important relationships with friends, loved ones, and colleagues . Throughout treatment, patients should be taking the Suboxone as prescribed. Additionally, the treatment plan will direct you to counselors and behavioral therapy so that the emotional and mental sides of recovery are also addressed. To learn more, please contact the office to schedule a visit or consultation with Dr. Kasendorf.
Trigger Point Injections
Dr. Roger Kasendorf and his staff specialize in the use of trigger point injections and osteopathic manipulations to create effective pain management plans. The doctor serves the La Jolla, California as well as residents in many neighboring communities.
Trigger points are small knots that are the result of muscles remaining abnormally tight or stressed for a prolonged period of time. The knots can be felt under the skin and, at times, can be extremely painful. They can also irritate nerves in the area causing tingling and numbness. Trigger point injections involves injecting a saline solution that contains an anesthetic into the trigger point, eliminating the pain and discomfort. Trigger point injections are considered to be an outpatient procedure and can be performed in the doctor's office without any type of anesthesia. One or two injections will often provide sustained relief and prevent the trigger point from flaring up again.
How do Trigger Point Injections Work?
Trigger points are localized knots that form in muscles when they have been under prolonged stress or are extremely tight. The trigger points can affect the nerves located near them, resulting in radiating pain that spreads throughout the area. A trigger point injection uses a saline based anesthetic to help alleviate the pain. The solution numbs the area effectively rendering it inactive. While the trigger points, or knots, may relax on their own, an osteopathic doctor may be able to provide relief through the manipulation of the soft tissues. This will help the muscles to relax and the trigger points to essentially dissolve or disappear.
How Long do Trigger Point Injections Last?
One or two sessions may be all it takes to effectively treat trigger point pain. The trigger points form when a muscle has become exceedingly tight without being able to relax. Using trigger point injections offers almost immediate relief. Once the trigger point injection has taken effect, gradually loosening the muscle may prevent future trigger points from forming. Gently massaging or manipulating the soft tissues can loosen the stiffened tissues, while exercising on a regular basis helps to keep the muscle relaxed on a long term basis. The use of trigger point injections may be able to help when other treatment options have failed.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Dr. Roger Kasendorf and his staff serve the residents of La Jolla and many other nearby California neighborhoods. The doctor offers hyaluronic acid injections as well osteopathic manipulations as part of many personalized pain management plans.
Hyaluronic acid can be found naturally in the human body. A person normally uses approximately one third of the amount the body has on hand each day. It is one of the elements that promotes inflammation if an injury has occurred. It is a gooey substance that offers cushion and support to injured or damaged areas of the body. Hyaluronic acid has both cosmetic and healing benefits. It has been widely used as a dermal filler to increase the plumpness of lips and eliminate wrinkles. It is also used in joints and near wounds to help prevent further injury and increase lubrication in the area.
What are the Benefits of Using Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance. It is found throughout the human body, and in most cases, offers few known side effects. Because it is found in the body, there are limited allergic reactions, mostly dependent on how it is formulated. In its natural form, hyaluronic acid is a thick, "gooey" substance. It helps to stimulate inflammation immediately after an injury, but can also be used to help support the wounded area later, allowing the inflammation to dissipate and relieving pain. When used to treat damaged joints, hyaluronic acid can be used as a lubricant. Its thickness allows it to remain in place for long periods of time without wearing away or dissolving.
How Long Does a Hyaluronic Acid Injection Work?
Each person will have a different response to hyaluronic acid injections, especially when it comes to controlling joint pain. In most cases, patients receive injections for 3 to 5 weeks, one shot each week. How long the benefits last will depend on the severity of the injury, other treatment methods being used, and what type of activities the patient participates in. It is extremely important for a person who is receiving these types of injections to report all changes in their condition to their doctor. The number of injections they receive and the types of treatment included in the treatment plan may have to be altered.

Apparently I’m crazy.
Or at least I think I am.
It all started with a haircut. You see, I got a perfectly wonderful new ‘do from my hairdresser, whom I just love to pieces. (Chase Abston-McGriff at C’est Bon in Crestline, in case you are wondering.) It was a very chic bob with a point on the right that angled rakishly down toward my chin, giving me the appearance that I actually have one. The left side tucked neatly behind my ear. It was saucy. It was classy. It was very flapper.
It was asymmetrical.
And I couldn’t get past it.
No matter the compliments. No matter the sauce. Every time I looked in the mirror, all I could see was the asymmetry. Still, I thought I could live with it to be cute.
Husband, however, recognized the problem the minute I got home from the salon. “Nice haircut,” he said. “It’s longer on one side. How long before that drives you crazy?”
Husband doesn’t mince words.
“It won’t,” I lied. “It’s cute. And saucy. Very stylish. You don’t know anything.” And off I stormed to stare into the bathroom mirror, head tilted severely to the left to simulate symmetry.
Three weeks later, I was on the phone with Chase. “Do you think you could work me in? I love it, really, but it’s just not symmetrical. No, no, no! It’s not you. It’s all me. Four o’clock? Yes, I’ll be there.”
Thank the LORD. Symmetry was imminent.
But why did I even care?
Because I’m crazy. Crazy about symmetry.
I can’t stand it if the stripes on the sheets aren’t straight, even if I’m in the bed. A crooked picture drives me to distraction, and I will straighten the artwork in your home when you’re not looking. All the dinner plates must be one thumb joint from the edge of the table. And if the plates have a design, they must all face the diner. I like the coasters to be squared up with the edge of the table. If I hang a red Christmas ornament on the right side of the tree, there should be one on the left as well. I don’t like my car to be the only one in my two-car garage.
And, dammit, I like my hair to be even on both sides.
So this afternoon, I was back in Chase’s chair, with the comforting snip snip snip of his scissors in my right ear. Say what you will. Laugh if you want. I may be as crazy as the day is long, but at least I am [now! at last! finally!] symmetrical, and all is right with the world.

I am South African, visiting my Filippina fiance, and suffer from Multiple Sclerosis. I came to the Philippines for medical reasons and to marry. I am on a South African disability pension with Liberty Life insurance and my funds is basically non-existent. Due to the Philippines warmer season (the "summer") and heat intolerance from Multiple Sclerosis I require a cooling vest urgently, since average 38 degrees was not expected. One was identify at Polar products in America (www.polarproducts.com); the Cool58. It uses freeze packs technology, developed by NASA, because due to the very high humidity of the Philippines I cannot make use of or purchase a evaporation cooling vest or system to maintain bodily functions.

Come burning crusade, warlocks who study demons (Hence demonology) learn to tap into such power and temporarily take on such a form themselves.

I am asking about the reason for the use of this letter, if known, as well as the initial occasion of its use. Ideas that have been suggested concerning the former include:
- That it stands for geometry or Geometrie
- That it stands for some other German word
- That it is in homage to Gauss
- That it refers to Gravitation
- That it refers to the Gram matrix
As for the latter, I'm guessing it originates somewhere between Riemann and Einstein.

The natural conditions — the normal ski season lasts from December to the first of May — put Vogel in firstplace among Slovene ski resorts for reliable snow conditions. Because Vogel lies on the first mountain barrier above the Adriatic Sea, substantially more snow falls here than anywhere else of similar altitude in the Alps. The high mountain setting and the extraordinary panoramas over the surrounding area — the ski center lies in Triglav National Park above Lake Bohinj — give Vogel a special attraction.

People ask, 'What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?' Let me tell you this, 'It is of no use.' There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for aviation. But otherwise, nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron... If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go. What we get from this adventure is sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for. These were the words of Mr. George Mallory.
Climbing Everest is completely a different story but to make it to Everest Base Camp in itself made us realise how phenomenal mountaineering is! Often in this world of science and technology, we tend to forget that the biggest marvel even today is undoubtedly Nature. We humans may have made artistic wonders, but nature has been a step ahead of us always. Today in our busy lives of a corporate machine, we need to some time out from our day to day life in search of peace and solitude. On the similar lines, Armageddon - our adventure club at IIM Calcutta, have started this voluntary new program of visiting Everest Base Camp.
In the second leg of this program which was started on 17th of March 2018, a batch of 21 students set off on a journey in search of what some call to be inner peace or some might refer to like solitude. The journey began from the heart of Nepal - Katmandu travelling to Lukla in what is claimed to be most adventurous flight travel in the world. Flying at an altitude of 2500m, with a view of snowclad peaks on one end and a limitless ocean of clouds on the other, hit by the turbulence of the wind was in itself a once in lifetime experience. This ride was concluded with a landing on a 400m Lukla airport runway. The trek on feet was then started with a view of high mountain peaks on one side and a deep Khumpfu valley on the other. With the river Dudh-Kosi playing hide and seek along the path through the jungles and plains, the team made its way to Tuk-Tuk. Staying in the wooden cabins was never so comfortable, but when you have got a subzero temperature outside, even these cabins felt like a paradise.
The second-day journey to Namche is often referred as to the most difficult patch in the whole trek as per the locals. With a determination to make through it, the 21 Jokars set on the path having a mountain breakfast in Tuk-Tuk. The amazing view of mountains was soon covered by the black clouds, and nature started testing us with ferocious winds and a mild snowfall. The high spirits of the Jokars kept them motivated on the path and despite a few setbacks they managed to make it to Namche in the daylight.
The acclimatizing day was spent in Namche with a hike to a local peak and a local museum. The hike rewarded the Jokars with their first view of Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse. The view not only motivated us for the journey ahead but also made us excited about what is to follow. Having acclimatized at 3400m in Namche, we set on to conquer the steepest path on the trek to make it to the holy place of Tengboche. The path in itself was daunting and the bright sun added to dehydration made it even more challenging. But the view from Tengboche was mesmerizing. I have visited a lot of places in my trekking stints so far, but it has been the most beautiful place I have ever been to. The Tengboche monastery was like a gem in the crown for that beautiful settlement on the hilltop. The place gave us a spiritual feel but at the same time made us realize that we have reached the zone from where in the dominance of AMS increases. Already a couple of us started showing symptoms of the sickness but still the brave spirits didn't shake. The determined Jokars set on their way to Dingboche, the path was long, and the weather conditions only made the conditions tougher. Despite the setbacks among a couple of us, the Jokars continued the journey. It's a saying in IIM C that "We Jokars leave no one behind" and this was the time to prove it. The friends who stood by the side in the times it was most needed. It's very important to stand up for friends and build their confidence especially when their spirits are low. It's easy to say but indeed a tough task to keep people motivated throughout the trek. At each point, we Jokars proved that we are there for each other in times of desperate needs. At Dingboche (4300m) we had an acclimatizing day on which an attempt was made to scale the Nagarjuna peak (5200m). The weather conditions were tough, clouds block the vision ahead, and the winds made the temperature sub-zero. With the AMS taking the opportunity to lay its cold icy hands on several of us coupled with lean oxygen in the air, many of us were tired and gave up on the attempt for making sure they saved their best efforts for the base camp. Despite the severe conditions 7 of us made it to the summit. The view from the top was amazing. The heart was filled with happiness and content, and the overflow was directed directly from the eyes. It were tears of content, the feeling which I have no words to describe, the feeling which gives me goosebumps even now writing about it.
The next day was another long walk through the plains to the next settlement of Labuche. The wind and slight snowfall often tried their best, but the spirits of Jokars was not so easily shaken. We made it to Labuche by afternoon and making sure we had enough rest for the D-Day tomorrow- the day we hoist the flag on EVEREST BASE CAMP. The next day was one of the most hectic days, started with a walk on the plains followed by a rocky patch crossing about six mountains to have a glimpse of the last human settlement on the trek. The eyes filled with excitement but at the same time the daunting walk of 3 hrs one way reflected that everyone was trying their best. Post lunch immediately we started off for the destination, several times, spirits shaken, self-confidence was questioned, but the Jokars didn't leave each other and made sure they hoist the flag on the Base Camp at around 5 pm. The slight delay would mean having the return journey in the torchlight. It was the daunting trek, the confusing rocky patches often were able to raise a doubt in mind whether we were on the right track, but someone we stood together and made it to Gorekhshep by 9 pm.
AMS was on its prime, the cold was widespread, running nose along with a headache were common symptoms among all of us. It is a saying - "Champions are born in adversities." In such conditions, 6 of us decided to scale down the Kala Pather summit (5555m) on the same night. It was indeed a brave choice, but the six Jokars were determined enough to overcome their negative conscience and give it a try. Even our guide was done by AMS, and he decided to let these Jokars go on their own. Starting at around 4 am in the morning, we started to what seemed to be the steepest and tiring journey. The mountain only got steeper with time; the air only got leaner as we progressed, the AMS only got severe, the fingers and toes only got more numb with each step. But we finally made it to the top. The emotions overflowed, the tears rolled down cheeks, there were hugs and hi-fives everywhere. We had found it, found that content, that feeling for which we set on this path. The extreme conditions didn't allow us to stay at the summit for a long time, but it couldn't rob us from capturing the beautiful sunrise behind Mount Everest. It's an image that got captured into our eyes forever.
The return journey from Gorakhshep to Periche was a very well paced travel. With every step, we were taking we were descending, the air was getting dense, and the grasp of AMS was loosening. There was cheerful environment around the group. Cards were played, songs were sung to celebrate the trek. We had done it. The journey from Periche to Namche and from Namche to Lukla was passed reliving those awesome moments that we spent on the mountains. The journey ended with that amazing flight back to Katmandu.
Today, we live in the world filled with technology, science may have made our lives easier, but it can never provide us with the feeling of content, the feeling of belongingness that nature provides us. The bonds forms in such conditions, those strangers becoming friends and friends becoming families cannot be seen in this world anywhere else. Myself being the second year, living the last days of my student life am very glad that I choose EBC for my grad trip. I thank IIM C and Armageddon for providing this opportunity to explore a new side of me. Thanks a tonne!

What is a billboard lease? It’s the agreement between an outdoor advertising company and a property owner that allows for an advertising billboard to be constructed and operated on the land, and remain in place for a set period of time as determined by the lease.
How are billboard leases valued? Whether it’s a rural or urban property, billboard companies rely on prime locations to display their advertising messages to create as many marketing impressions as possible to motorists and pedestrians. Typically the higher the traffic, the more a property owner will be paid in rent to lease their land.
If you receive rent for a billboard on your property, LDC Infrastructure is interested in speaking to you. If your site meets our criteria, we will purchase your billboard lease rights for a significant lump sum cash payment.
Billboard lease rights acquisitions are an important and growing part of our business. As Australia’s first company to acquire billboard leases, LDC Infrastructure meets with thousands of property owners every year to determine if a billboard lease buyout makes sense for them.
Why should you sell your billboard lease rights? The decision to sell your billboard lease may be driven by the need to cover an immediate and critical financial obligation. Others sell their lease rights in order to invest the proceeds in securities, real estate or other opportunity.
You can realise the hidden value of your billboard lease with an immediate cash payment from LDC Infrastructure in exchange for your lease rights.
Even if you don’t need cash right now, doesn’t it make sense to know the value of your lease rights? If your site meets our criteria, we can provide you with a no obligation analysis and valuation. Please call us at 1300 149 449 or

I’m writing this post from Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautifully situated cities in the world. I arrived yesterday, after a 34-hour home-to-hotel journey from my home outside Toronto, Canada.
I’m in town to attend AfricaCom 2015.
But this post is not about telecommunications or tradeshows.
The trip, and subsequent conversations over dinner and breakfast with colleagues, got me thinking about the little things that non-travelers (dubbed “HQ people” in the title) need to appreciate. A few immediately came to mind (and I’m sure there are more – feel free to comment, below, on your own):

The Bureaus – Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, & Equifax
Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax have roots that date back to before the turn of the century. All three maintain a global database, separate from one another, that contains information and data on millions of businesses and consumers.
Here is some history…
- Dun & Bradstreet can be traced back to 1841 when Lewis Tappen founded The Mercantile Agency in response to the recognized need for a centralized credit reporting system. The Dun & Bradstreet that we know today was created during a merger of 1933 between the former Mercantile Agency, R.G. Dun & Company, and its competitor The John M. Bradstreet Company. Unlike the other two bureaus, D&B only reports commercial data – they do not offer consumer credit reports. Today they operate and maintain information on more than 235 million companies across 200 countries.
- Experian has roots to 1826 London when shopkeepers began exchanging data on customers who failed to pay back their debt. Experian, as we know it today, was not formed until 1996 when the UK – Great Universal Stores (GUS) and the US – TRW, merged. Today they have offices in Ireland, United Kingdom, and the United States with over 17,000 employees.
- Equifax was founded in 1899 as the Retail Credit Company, at that time they handled reporting for insurance agencies by giving them data on people applying for new policies. They changed their name to Equifax in 1975 to freshen their image because of the scrutiny they experienced between the 1960’s and 1970’s for openly selling consumer information. Today they maintain and own information on over 800 million consumers and more than 88 million businesses worldwide.
According to D&B: Their commercial credit scores “…predict the likelihood of a business paying its bills in a severely delinquent manner (91 days or more past terms), obtaining legal relief from its creditors or ceasing operations without paying all creditors in full over the next 12 months. D&B defines severe delinquency as a business with at least 10% of its payments 91 days or more past due, based on the information in D&B’s commercial database. The score ranges from 101 to 670, where 101 represents the highest probability and 670 represents the lowest possibility of delinquency. “
The largest business credit bureaus have dominated the industry for decades. Dun & Bradstreet, Experian, and Equifax continue to be the most widely used and recognized business credit agencies. but that doesn’t mean they are the only ones that matter. There are a handful of ‘other’ business bureaus that gather data on businesses across the country. Each uses a proprietary method that is picking up speed in dependability and affordability compared to the ‘top 3’ agencies.
Founded in 2006, they offer very concise business credit reports that were created in a user-friendly way. By making their business credit reports easier to understand, they’re making it easier for business owners to understand their credit and creditors to make educated decisions.
Ansonia credit reports include basic information on the company along with data on their payment experiences. They offer two scores, the credit rating and credit risk score. The credit rating offers the businesses average purchases per month and approximate days-to-pay. The credit risk score ranges from 0 – 100 with a score range of 70 – 95 reflecting a low risk borrower.
The transportation and trucking industry has very high barriers to entry due to how costly it is to remain front-and-center. Most trucking companies rely on credit to fund operations, purchase a fleet, and/or factor invoices. TransCredit offers credit reports that are specific to this industry.
Their Transportation Credit Score™ ranges from 0 to 100, a score of 0 means that the company does not have enough information to generate a score. A low risk borrower would have a score of 90 or above. TransCredit also lists the Overall Days to Pay™ which is the average number of days it took the company to pay their invoices over the last 6 months.
PayNet is a business credit reporting agency with a database containing over 22 million contracts from small business loans, leases, and lines of credit. You cannot purchase reports, the business must call and request a copy.
PayNet MasterScore® v2 – This lending score ranges from 550-740 with the higher score reflecting a lower risk borrower. Lenders will use this score to predict the risk potential of borrowers. They use 587 variables and 135 unique variables in order to compute this score.
There are a variety of factors that can impact this score:
- Payment activity – Are you paying on time?
- Inconsistent credit quality patterns
- History of delinquencies
- Derogatory public records
- No borrowing history
- Size of the business
- Current borrowed assets not being paid
- Higher risk industry, State, and/or economic conditions
Construction & Transportation Equipment Credit Score – This is a score specific to lenders in the construction and/or transportation lending sphere.
Credit history report – PayNet credit history report contains public record information on the company and detailed payment data on past and present payment experiences. The reports also offer a comparative analysis of historical payment data, in other words, they will compare your payment history with other similar businesses. Lenders will use this information and the MasterScore® to determine whether a borrower is worth the risk.
Established about 20 years ago as a transportation industry credit bureau, they have since expanded and now serve a wide variety of industries. Their reports offer 5 business credit scores/indexes:
The Cortera Score – This is an overall score of the businesses credit worthiness, it ranges from 100 to 900, with the higher the score the lower risk of paying in a severely delinquent manner.
When calculating this score, Cortera generates scores for payment forecasts, most recent payment habits, industry benchmarking, and spending data to compute the company’s overall Cortera score.
This business credit reporting agency was predominately in the United Kingdom up until 5 years ago when they branched out into the United States.
They offer comprehensive business credit reports.
A Risk Rating which ranges from 1 to 100 with a score of 71 – 100 representing very low risk, this score predicts the likelihood that a company will become severally delinquent in their payment habits.
In addition, their reports include – Average days beyond terms, a recommended credit limit, payment trends, inquiry trends, average business spend, and any tax liens and judgments filed in the last 6 years 9 months plus any bankruptcies filed in the last 9 years 9 months.
This business credit agency operates in the U.S. and Canada, they report information on approximately 15.5 million businesses. Their reports encompass financial, reputation, and public record information on each business in their database. All this data is used to generate their business credit score which ranges from 1 – 100, the higher the better, anything less than 70 means they do not have enough data to calculate a score. Credit.net will also include a recommended credit limit for the business.
Business credit awareness
There are many more business credit reporting agencies – depending on your industry one or all might impact your company. It’s important to be knowledgeable of their existence and understand that each bureau has their own information sources and may report different/conflicting information, is important for your company’s financial future. This does not mean that you need to purchase every single business credit report, many business credit bureaus specialize in an industry, it’s not likely that all of them will impact your company.

Purpose Patient dose estimation in X-ray computed tomography (CT) is generally performed by Monte Carlo simulation of photon interactions within anthropomorphic or cylindrical phantoms. An accurate Monte Carlo simulation requires an understanding of the effects of the bow-tie filter equipped in a CT scanner, i.e. the change of X-ray energy and air kerma along the fan-beam arc of the CT scanner. To measure the effective energy and air kerma distributions, we devised a pin-photodiode array utilizing eight channels of X-ray sensors arranged at regular intervals along the fan-beam arc of the CT scanner. Methods Each X-ray sensor consisted of two plate type of pin silicon photodiodes in tandem – front and rear photodiodes – and of a lead collimator, which only allowed X-rays to impinge vertically to the silicon surface of the photodiodes. The effective energy of the X-rays was calculated from the ratio of the output voltages of the photodiodes and the dose was calculated from the output voltage of the front photodiode using the energy and dose calibration curves respectively. Results The pin-photodiode array allowed the calculation of X-ray effective energies and relative doses, at eight points simultaneously along the fan-beam arc of a CT scanner during a single rotation of the scanner. Conclusions The fan-beam energy and air kerma distributions of CT scanners can be effectively measured using this pin-photodiode array.

HOW TO IDENTIFY ORIGINAL PRODUCT?
How to buy genuine Laennec from Japan?
Japanese-made Laennec can be purchased only in Japan. Neither in China, nor in the Philippines or in Thailand, you can not buy it! And even in Japan there are fakes, when they are sold from companies without a license or on net auctions like Ebay. On this product page, there is a complete guide on how to distinguish the original drug and buy real, Japanese, Japanese-manufactured goods. Customers sent us photos of goods purchased in other countries - ampoules have different lengths, shape, heterogeneous colour etc. Prints on the packaging are dirty, leaving stains and marks. But even this is not the main thing though a sufficient one. There is a simple and reliable way to distinguish a true Laennec from Japan.
How to identify genuine Laennec from Japan?
Pay attention to the packaging and the ampoules. On the packaging there is a unique three-dimensional volumetric code, which is hard enough to make and almost impossible to copy. Furthermore, on each ampoule of the Laennec there are two long numeric codes. These two codes are special labeling as required by the Japanese Medicines Act dated year 2008. The upper code is the sales lot code, the lower code is the code of the batch of pharmaceutical raw materials used for production. That is, everything is simple enough - one code is responsible for the sale, the second for the manufacture.
1. Original JBP box for domestic market.
2. Made in Japan marking on the side of original package.
3. Expiry date and bar code. At the bottom there is a serial number of product. Specific 3D bar code with series and number (on the picture old code is shown, we always ship goods with 1 - 1.5 years' expiry date that is enought for full course. Box has pharma serial number and sales lot serial nuber (japanese control system). We covered series for privacy reasons.
4. Ampoules of correct shape with serial number and bar code on every vial.
To protect privacy of our distributor we have hidden bar codes and serial number!
5. For all laennec with expiration date of 2019.07 and further there is additional sticker added to package for protection reasons, as showm below.

Roof Build Up
The pitch of both roofs is 12.5 degrees. The architect choose this in order to optimise the solar gain during the winter months and ensure both buildings receive adequate light.
There is a roof overhang of 1.8 metres in order to control the solar gain during the summer. (See below)
The build up of the roof from the inside is : Plaster Board, 40-100mm service cavity, airtight layer, 400mm metac isover semi rigid 0.34 k insulation, bitumen impregnated wood fibre board, membrane, ventilated cavity, OSB, DELTA®-TRELA membrane and then zinc.
We thermally broke the rafters where possible see above.
Planning Permission Factors
In our planning permission reference was made to standing seam. This restricted the options for controlling costs later on. (A lesson for others). As it turned out for our design there were no variations in the roof (ie no openings, different pitches, etc and this kept the costs under control. )
If one is designing from scratch note that tiles/slate options start with a minimum pitch of approximately 12.5 degrees (example: the melodie single pantile). During the design stage if one can simplify the design of the roof by minimising openings for roof lights, ventilation flues and any architectural details this will keep the costs under control.
An early idea I explored was to use amorphous solar electric panels (PV) built into the roof -I was unable to come up with a solution in the time frame and deal with the potential risks such as Fire/Insurance/Waterproofing and Hygrothermal issues of an intergrated roof solution. I will revisit this idea in the future.
Zinc can be placed on spaced untreated wooden battens without a membrane – a cost saving is possible using this technique.
All fixings nails and screws are either grade 2 or 4 stainless steel.
New Roof Products
In the last month I came across a promising roof and wall facade system that acts as a solar hot water panel and it uses the drainback system (see previous blog on drainback system). The company is called http://www.aventa.no . As previously discussed it is too late for me to plan for this . What needs to be clarified is the cost of storage and panels .
Some test are being carried out on passive houses at http://www.aventa.no/eng/References/Row-houses-at-Mortensrud-Norway .
When one is getting a quote from any zinc installer ensure you specify the same product. I found that the Zintek (be careful there is another name that sounds similar called Zintec but it is not zinc) was cheaper than Rheinzinc and the installers usually know which zinc is good. Ask for their opinion (as they are working with the material). Think whether you can use non patinated (natural) zinc in some places as it is roughly a €1 cheaper per kg. The non patinated zinc eventually returns I believe to the same colour as the patinated zinc. We were advised not to use non patinated zinc in areas where different weathering could occur. So for all the fascias/sofit and edging details visible we used patinated zinc. As zinc is a traded commodity on the stock market prices vary.
The zinc detail for the gutter were as follows. A ventilation/insect grille can be seen below.
The ventilation/Insect grille on the overhang is as shown below. A detail to satisfy the engineer and the zinc installer was agreed as proper ventilation and air flow was required for the roof.

I must do more research on this as little appears to be available..

What is it about informed consent that frightens abortion advocates?
I think we’re going about this abortion debate the wrong way. We all know when life begins in the DNA sense: It begins at conception. The only people who have a bulletproof logical position on abortion are those for whom it is never ever permissible, because it is murder at any stage of gestation.
But that’s not most of us. Most of us believe abortion is admissible under certain conditions. But very few of us believe abortion should be permissible at any time before actual delivery of a live baby.
The honest amongst us do not call the fetus a wad of tissue. We know that even an embryonic baby is still a human being-in-waiting. Now we have to convince ourselves that it is okay to kill this homunculus before it gets to a stage where its resemblance to us begins to gnaw too painfully at our conscience to go through with the killing.
Everyone has a different reason for killing her unwanted fetus. Reminding them of when life begins is not going to change their minds, even those who are killing them for gender reasons.
I think we need another approach. We should not be looking at regulations over women’s bodies, but at regulations over their minds. By that I mean we should consider imposing a set of regulations to ensure that when abortions take place, they are occurring in the light of informed consent. And we need an abortion registry to gather data. Almost everyone in this abortion debate is ridiculously under-informed.
At the moment, women are hardly informed of anything about abortion before they give consent. As I have written previously, more than one previous induced abortion (IA) is a well-known risk for a premature birth in a future pregnancy. This is not a hypothesis. It is settled science. Premature birth is associated with a host of potential physical and mental deficits, the most dreaded being Cerebral Palsy. It would be interesting to have research done on all the cases of Cerebral Palsy in Canada to find out how many of them are linked to more than one previous abortion.
Risk of death also increases with each abortion. A 2012 Danish study (Priscilla Coleman, Bowling Green University) found that “Increased risks of death were 45%, 114% and 191% for 1, 2 and 3 abortions, respectively, compared to no abortions after controlling for other reproductive outcomes and last pregnancy age…”. The subjects for this study were Danish women. Since 1973 Denmark has had a national induced abortion registry. So it was not necessary to actually interview women in order to ascertain their IA history.

“Communication is the lifeline of a relationship. Without it, it starves to death.”
Communication, not just a simple verb but it is an essential part of human existence. And a human being just cannot survive with an absence of communication. With our family, with our friends, with our peers a communication is always needed to maintain bonds and most importantly with our spouse.
When a relationship sets off it is like a burning fire. So fierce and so bright that everything else seems faded and dull. The two people want to be constantly in contact with each other. Talking about each and every thought that crossed through their mind, and sharing every little detail of what happened in their day. They are endlessly talking to each other either directly or over the phone. And there is nothing wrong with it, I suppose. If you have somebody so important to you that you begin considering them as your ‘significant other’ then wanting to share your thoughts with them and talking endlessly with them comes naturally. There is a certain urge felt, to tell them whenever anything huge or minute happens in your life.
But almost everything wears off one day. Love? Nah! But a relationship often needs more than that. It needs communication. No, you are not required to stay glued to your partner every second but also a decent amount of communication is necessary, for that intimacy and that affection to stay alive. And believe it or not, even the strongest of relationships can struggle badly once the silence sets in.
A strong relationship, how do you define that? No, you simply cannot. But it has to be one where the level of understanding and compatibility between two individuals is so strong that even days of silence and separation cannot create separation between their hearts and souls. Where even if they go days without talking to each other or seeing each other’s face the love between them only grows stronger and they keep getting fonder of each other with every passing day. But reality-check! A lack of communication can prompt issues in such a relationship too. When the two people completely give up on the habit of sitting with each other and talking for hours or over the phone they somewhere start preparing themselves to learn living without each other. And is that healthy for a relationship? No. It can never be.
Why are long distance relationships usually a failure? Well, they have their share of cons (usually more than the number of pros). You are not able to meet your partner, or call them as often as you would while living in the same city and you cannot spend time together, of course. In such situations, somewhere the two individuals start building their own lives, with their own set of people, their own surroundings which are different from each other’s and if they quit communicating then those two lives become notably different from each other’s. If they no longer nurture the habit of conversing with each other regularly about all the random as well as relevant things, from their daily routine to their dreams and aspirations, the relationship starts becoming weak and less alive. Not just the two become extensively independent in emotional aspect but also the affection and the confidentiality that once existed goes away.
I believe “Distance doesn’t ruin relationships, silence does.” Be the two people living in two different continents or under the same roof if the silence sets in the relationship suffers.
All through my growing up years I have always heard my dad talking about how important a healthy communication is for bonds to stay strong. As much as this communication is required while living away from each other, it is necessary while living together. In a family you got to have at least one such person you can talk freely about without feeling judged or misinterpreted. And when we are talking about relationships, the silence can be deadly. I realize that now on a much deeper level, when I keep going crazy about talking to my boyfriend but the time and work commitments doesn’t let us. Oh there so many stories I need to narrate to him and so many stuff I want to blabber about! And yes I want to hear his stories too!
Understanding each other’s silence more than their words is undoubtedly a cardinal facet of relationships. But the silence shouldn’t be there in the first place. No matter how difficult it seems, managing time to talk to your partner shall be among your top priorities. Don’t skip work and stay at home to skype them all day but when they call, take out some time to converse. Or after you are done with your work at office call them and talk. Before going to sleep instead of scrolling you news feed take out a little time to chat with them and ask them about their day. When you don’t have much work for the day set up a date and spend time together. When you have to rush for a day-long meeting leave a sweet text or a voice message. You may not realize it now but when silence sets in..love goes out the window.

We’re always working diligently to expand and maintain a great service at a reasonable price. We went a little overboard with a recent front-end capacity upgrade and now have 2x the capacity we had a month ago. We’d like to put some of this capacity to use, sooner than later.. so some amazing specials are due (it has been awhile)
Connection Issues Connection Issues Posted on Jul 18, 2018 12:00 -0400Posted on Jul 18, 2018 12:00 -0400
We are aware of the issues we are currently having with NNTP authentication and also with the members area. It seems to be due to a power outage. We are currently investigating the problem.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Cinco de Mayo Sale Posted on May 5, 2018 12:00 -0400Posted on May 5, 2018 12:00 -0400
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! It has been awhile since we ran a sale so to ring in the holiday we’re offering our 500G block account for $5.50….
We’ve been quietly working in the background to massively expand our local retention. With this upgrade we expect well over a year of retention. We’re also tweaking our erasure coding settings and will probably squeeze out another 10-20% of usable storage space when done. In addition, we plan to double our raw space again before we’re at capacity so that we can continue to grow our retention.
To celebrate, we’re offering our yearly unlimited account for only $43.

In this article, I want to tell you about creating a working strategy for a TOP and profitable niche – traffic arbitrage.
Any business needs a strategy. Wherever you work, it all starts with planning, and so does traffic arbitrage. Developing a traffic strategy and applying it – an important part of success.
Without a strategy, you can test too many Creatives or, on the contrary, too little and not get any results. It is important to decide in advance how many offers and how long you will test them, what budget, what your actions will be after receiving these test results/data, and so on.
You can rely on luck and wait for random bursts of profit. Or you can think over a strategy to increase the chances of profitable campaigns to the maximum.
What will it take?
Both teams and solo arbitrageurs have their own strategies.
I will reveal one of the most effective approaches when working with push traffic.
The workflow of companies using push traffic is divided into 3 stages:
- Analysis and optimization.
The “life cycle” of your offer must go through all three stages.
At each stage, you should describe a step-by-step algorithm of actions. This is necessary to understand the work, purposefulness of actions, and also so that any of your colleagues or employees could use the algorithm as an instruction and work successfully with it.
Yes, working in arbitration is like a conveyor belt. Therefore, automation and algorithms are the path to success!
And now, an immediate list of questions to which you should have written answers:
- Where do we get the offer from?
- What is the budget for the test?
- How many offers can we afford to test daily and weekly?
- How many Creatives are we testing in each phase?
- In what networks do we test?
- What is the user activity?
- Betting strategy. Do we get the most expensive traffic or the average bid? Trying to collect something at the lowest cost per click?
2. Analysis and optimization
- Is there enough data collected for correct conclusions?
- Have all the links that can be optimized been analyzed (OS version, language, sites, placements, subscription age, ISP, cities and regions, browsers, days and hours).
- According to the test results, are there traffic layers with a positive ROI that can be scaled?
- Was there a traffic source which burned the main part of the test budget?(e.g. poured a lot of cheap and ineffective clicks).
- What was the competition during testing?
- In which networks to scale?
- Do you get more clicks and conversions when the bid increases?
- Is all user activity in terms of subscription freshness needed for scaling?
- Are we trying to get an increased payout in the CPA grid?
- Have we cut off all unnecessary targeting? Do we buy what we don’t need?
- What place do we occupy in the auction?
You should have answers to all these questions.
All variables that you can influence must be under control. You need to understand how changes in each of them affect the picture as a whole.
Remember to keep a history of campaign changes in the tracker (on Vimmy, all trackers have the ability to add comments).
Successful traffic arbitrage requires a systematic approach.
Pay attention and time to strategy, whether you work alone or as a team. Do your campaigns in stages and thoughtfully, then the profit will not keep you waiting.
Good luck and productive work.

A few week’s ago BMW kindly gave us the new 3 Series to have for a few days.
This is the brands longest running model, accounting for nearly a third of its annual sales.
Where do we start with this car? All I can say is wow!! What a great looking, sleek and well engineered car!
Let’s start with the looks. The 3 Series has been given a complete revamp from head to toe. The aggressive yet incredibly styled aesthetics of the car are a pleasure to look at. This luxury saloon has too many great points. Such as the new, standard high intensity LED headlights which not only look brilliant but make a big difference to your vision when driving at night. The chrome, twin tip tailpipes add to BMW’s stunning body styling and the amount of gadgets you get as standard is a huge improvement from previous models.
Compared to its predecessor, the new BWW 3 Series is significantly more aerodynamic, which contributes to a deduction in weight of around 55kg. This not only helps the beautiful way the car handles but reduces emissions killing two birds with one stone. A much sportier handling is felt with each turn of the wheel due to the tightened sport’s suspension.
The BMW comes in 3 different models. The SE, Sport and most popular M Sport. All models come standard with a BMW Navigation System, Rear View Camera, Parking Sensors and Folding Door mirrors which is something to shout about compared to past models.
You would need to upgrade to the Sport model for the bigger 18” alloy wheels but our favoured choice would be the M Sport model which you get BMW Live Cockpit (digital dials), apple car play, M Aerodynamics body styling a lots more! We would also advise on getting the ‘M Sport Plus Package’ which you get 19” M light alloy wheels, adaptive M suspension, sun protection glass, M Sport braking system, rear spoiler and M seat belts. Well worth the £2200 option from new.
The most popular engines will be the 320i and 320d which are the petrol and diesel equivalents. Both are 2.0 engines and very similar in terms of power. The 320i runs at 184bhp whilst the slightly more torque delivering diesel has 190bhp. A respectable combined figure of 51.4 mpg for the diesel and 40.4 for the petrol. So to the big question, does it compete with its arch-rival Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon and the Audi A4 Saloon?
Well in answer to the question its a very simple…YES!!
This car looks good all round. The body styling is eye turning, the interior is a huge improvement from BMW and the way that the car drives and handles through corners is nothing short of terrific.

The well-respected Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts Summer Festival has relocated to the New England Conservatory. Beginning on August 7th, NEC’s attractive new Burnes Hall will ring out with distinguished performers of varied cultures and generations in 15 recitals. Hardly strangers to NEC, since 1990, FCPA has presented 131 memorable concerts in Jordan Hall with notable pianists, cellists, and violinists, in standard repertoire as well as some traditional Eastern instruments and rep. Click HERE for this impressive historical list.
Until this summer the annual music festival took place at the Walnut Hill School for the Arts. Its alumni include Lang Lang, Yeol Eum Son, Kate Liu, Eric Liu, and Channing Yu, to name a few. For the past 30 years, students have come from all over the world to enjoy three weeks of exhilarating music making with the festival’s distinguished faculty members. The residents enjoyed many masterclasses, daily evening performances and concerto competitions. It provided a perfect platform for students of Asian heritage to study abroad, and allowed them to jump right into the heart of the Boston musical scene. Over the years, many stayed after the festival to study at Walnut Hill, and students from different years bonded into a big family all over the world.
Sadly, earlier this year, Walnut Hills administrators informed FCPA that venue rental fees, would double and triple (presumably 3x the original amount) in the next. The Foundation kept its mission of creating an accessible musical platform for all students by making the tuition affordable, and offering some scholarships, even if it meant leaving a negative balance.
So, this sudden and substantial increase in rental fees made a dent spiritually and financially, directly causing the discontinuation of the annual festival. The news struck and saddened the music community of Greater Boston.
Walnut Hill’s CFO Jane Segale responded to BMInt thus:
Walnut Hill School for the Arts was no longer able to offer Ms. Chan the deeply discounted rates she was receiving to house her full program at the School as the costs of housing the program exceeded the revenue received. The rates had only gone up once in many years. We are thrilled she has been able to find a more cost advantaged arrangement with NEC and wish her and the festival the best there.
After speaking with many musicians, administrators and institutions who have reached out to help, the chairwoman of the foundation, Catherine Chan, decided to preserve some of the legacies from the festival. This year, from August 7th to August 24th, the Foundation of Chinese Performing Arts will present award winning musicians across generations at New England Conservatory’s Burnes Hall for a total of 15 concerts – all free, with $10 dollar suggested.
This year, individual performers from the summer series are coincidentally arriving at thematic intersections, maybe creating an illusion that they are bound by a larger cohesive thread. For instance, Hsiang John Tu opens the summer series with an animal-themed piano music, representing Bolcom’s serpent, Debussy’s goldfish, Granados’s nightingale and Ravel’s sad birds. This writer will be commenting on the human animal through a musical dance of jazz, improvisation, and, I think, unusually combined standard rep in the myth of the “Seven Deadly Sins.” In the series closer, pianist Ji Yong Kim performs Schumann’s Carnival, where every character piece represents one named character. Opening with a tour of the musical animal kingdom resonates perfectly with the festive carnival that closes the series. Furthermore, Hung-Kuan Chen, one of the most honored pianists, will present three works by Beethoven as part of his program. If you come back for Larry Weng’s Bach “suite” and Peter Fang’s Bach-Brahms program, you will have completed what Hans von Bülow, conductor and critic describes as the “Holy Trinity of classical music.” Other examples remain, and we invite you to discover points of thematic intersection and birth an understanding of the current musical fashion.
On August 24th, the winner of the 2019 Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts Concerto Competition will culminate in Brahms’s First Piano Concerto at Jordan Hall with the Mercury Orchestra, under the baton of Channing Yu, who 30 years ago played piano and violin during the first two years of the festival.
FCPA will also be offering its first public concerto competition, in which eight outstanding applicants will perform live in Boston at Williams Hall on August 17th for the semi-final round: Xu Guo (China), Sahun Hong (USA), Brian Z. Le (USA), Jiarong Li (China), Zhiye Lin (China), Randy Ryan (Indonesia), Jun Sun (China), and Yun Wei (China). Three or four semi-finalists will advance to the final round to perform the entire concerto on August 18th.
This new blossoming chapter for the Foundation for the Chinese Performing Arts promises a fresh stream of inspiration in the Boston’s quiet summer season. Even though the festival has evolved from an immersive residency, the mission continues. In Chan’s words, “We are grateful that everything went smoothly in the past 30 years. Now we are moving ahead, providing a stage for rising stars to shine. We create opportunities for the public to appreciate these powerful artists, because they are the future.”
A doctoral candidate at the NEC in contemporary piano improvisation under Ran Blake and Anthony Coleman, Chi Wei Lo does standard rep at prize-winning levels, flashmob, improv, interdisciplinary, and ever-literate programming.

Tell us about yourself.
My name is Heather Turbyne-Pollard and I am proud to serve as Health Brigade’s Director of Resources & Philanthropy. Health Brigade is formerly known as Fan Free Clinic. I started working here in October 2015. I love the organization’s mission to provide quality health services, especially to those least served, in a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. I came here from a 15 year career at United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg where I learned a good deal about our local nonprofit community and the critical role nonprofits play in strengthening the fabric of our region’s safety net system in a whole host of ways.
Health Brigade is one of those nonprofits I have always admired for its rich history on confronting social justice issues that affect individual and public health head on.
ABOVE: The new Health Brigade brand was revealed in June 2016.
What is the focus of your work?
My role is to support the organization by ensuring we have a solid internal structure (strong administrative practices that make for happy employees) and the funding and resources to continue providing quality health services to those in need in our region. When people love their organization and the work they do, it becomes more than “just work”. You become part of a movement greater than yourself. That’s why I love our new name. Health Brigade is so fitting because it harkens up images of people coming together to tackle something–like a community pulling together, and passing buckets of water to help put out a neighbor’s fire.
Healthcare and specifically the integration of health and mental health services are at the core of our work. I admire that we are an example of integrated health and a model for not only other nonprofits in this field but for the private sector as well.
What do you find most rewarding about your work?
I walk through our clinic doors every morning and I pass through our lobby where patients are waiting to be seen. I make a point to greet them and say good morning. It’s rewarding to me every day to come to work and know that what I am doing is helping people live healthier lives. Access to quality health care is a right for all of us–not just some of us. Sometimes, unsolicited, when someone notices that I work here, they make a point of telling me their story. I have heard wonderful personal stories about how our staff and volunteers have helped change lives, even saved them in some cases. And I also love conveying those stories to donors and potential donors so they can see the impact they make in helping us achieve our mission.
What are some major challenges you have faced and how you handled them?
A major challenge as a nonprofit focused on health care has been educating the general public on the need for our services still, even after the passing of the Affordable Care Act. We still have people who technically qualify for ACA but can’t afford it because their income is too low or those with coverage gaps because they have lost employment. In addition, Virginia did not expand Medicaid, an important part of the ACA implementation, which has left a coverage gap as well.
What’s coming next for you and/or for your organization that really excites you?
We launched our new brand in late June and so we are still excited about that change. We have been Fan Free Clinic for nearly 50 years and so it’s a big step to change our name. We have gotten great feedback on our new name and brand.
How are you leveraging ConnectVA to achieve your mission?
As part of the amazing nonprofit community in RVA you can’t help but be encouraged to connect with other nonprofits. RVA has a wonderful nonprofit community. We connect to this larger community through ConnectVA. It is chock full of resources for our sector, from accessing community calendars, organizational resources, learning about emerging nonprofits and keeping up to date on the nonprofit sector. RVA is lucky to have such a hub for our sector.

The Dance of Death (McPherson)
THE STORY: On an isolated island, military captain Edgar and his wife, Alice, live a bitter life, their marriage soured by hatred. When the possibility of redemption and escape arrives for Alice in the shape of their former comrade Kurt, it seems that Edgar is prepared to use his very last breath to make their lives a living hell.
“Conor McPherson’s new version of THE DANCE OF DEATH is snappy and smart…jokes seem to whizz around like venomous arrows.”—TheArtsDesk.com. “THE DANCE OF DEATH doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs but this Strindberg play is, in its own twisted way, almost jolly. The show depicts a toxic marriage and, as the couple claw at each other, it’s impossible to look away. Conor McPherson, a master of bruising banter, has penned this new version and the play feels lighter in his hands.”—Time Out London.

Do you own one of those extra special dogs? I know they are all special! But I mean one of those dogs who seems to do everything perfectly. Or one of those dogs that can find the ball when you have no idea where it is. Or perhaps you have a dog whose favourite thing to do is to taking a running leap off of your dock.
All of these things are dog sports. Dock diving is a huge new sport open to any dog that loves to run off of a dock and jump in the water. Usually they jump in after their favourite toy but whatever it takes will work. It is a refreshing summer activity for your dog.
And for the dog that can always find that ball…why not try Nosey Dogs? This is a sport that encourages the dog to use its natural talents in a very fun and constructive game loosely based on area searches. The dog eventually learns to find a particular scent. You would be amazed at what they can find and how little it takes. We do this sport at DueNorth and it is a very popular class.
If you are the kind of owner that loves to train your dog and it walks perfectly on a leash….you are half way there….to a Companion Dog title. A Companion Dog title is a title that you can earn through the Canadian Kennel Club….and it is the Novice class.
This level is considered the basic level that any companion dog should be able to do to be a companion dog….hence the name. We do this here at DueNorth….in fact we do a lot of it and it is our favourite thing to do.
If you have a retriever who drives you insane all the time because he just has to have something in his mouth to carry around….you might take a look at retriever training.
This is a huge big game to the dogs….they love it. Bring your ear plugs though because once they find out how much fun it is they’ll be screaming for more of it.
If you want a less formal type of obedience competition….there is the new sport of Rally Obedience which encourages an ongoing dialogue with your dog while still focusing on obedience.
If your ears can handle the noise, your dog is fast and loves balls there is always fly ball. If your not too sure about it….why not go and watch. I hear there is a big tournament on in Norwood soon.
Herding dogs have their sports as well You can start out with herding ducks and then move on to the bigger livestock like sheep. And cattle dogs of course herd cattle.
There are folks in Lakefield that do carting with Newfoundlands and other giant breeds. A lot of these dogs were the poor man’s horse and actually worked for their keep.
Indeed almost all dogs were bred to do a job and no matter what it is I can assure you that someone out there is still doing it. There are sled dogs, lure coursing dogs, scent hurdling dogs and tracking dogs….the list is long and varied. And nothing bonds you to a dog more than working with it. So get up, get the leash and do something fun with your pooch….there are lots of people around to help you get started. And fall is such a great time for dog sports. Enjoy it!

Mayor Paula Assaly confirmed that the town has received final approval of its application for $824,400 under the Ontario Connecting Links program. The money will help with costs for the planned McGill Street improvement project in the downtown area.
“This will be a real help,” Mayor Assaly said during a phone interview August 14.
The main focus of the McGill Street project is to redo the retaining wall along the street where it follows Mill Creek up to the Main Street intersection. The retaining wall is starting to sag and show other signs of wear.
The town has also received notice that it is eligible for a $40,000 grant from the provincial citizenship and immigration ministry to set up a new LED community announcements panel at the intersection of Higginson Street and Cartier Boulevard.
One last grant application the town is still waiting on for an answer concerns its $4.4 million application under the Infrastructure Canada program for upgrades to the Hawkesbury municipal water treatment plant.
“I would hope that we will hear about that before the end of 2020,” said Mayor Assaly.

TEST pH 6.0-7.8 aquarium droplet test. TEST pH 6.0-7.8 is designed for measuring the pH of fresh aquarium water within the range 6.0-7.8 at intervals of 0.2 pH. Such a wide range of pH, which can be monitored, ensures the precision which is so important for breeders of delicate species of fish, whose health and survival are determined by the proper pH value. The test also helps to monitor the pH level while adjusting the level in already established tanks. It should also be borne in mind that fish will not tolerate rapid changes in pH, which may cause severe damage to the delicate skin, gills, fins, and eyes. The change of pH level should not be higher than 0.2 pH a day.
TEST pH 6.0-7.8 quickly and easily indicates whether the water in the aquarium is safe for the fish kept.

Cerezo took the lead on the stroke of half time as a move down the left saw Yusuke Maruhashi seemingly mis-hit his attempted cross, the ball bounding across the turf instead of rising into the air, but Hiroaki Okuno made no mistake with his connection, stroking the ball past desperate lunging defenders to give his team a 1-0 half time lead.
Seven minutes after the break, with Gamba still looking for the goal to bring them level, an Usami corner was met on the volley by Shu Kurata and, once again, Kim in goal was relieved to see it fly wide.
Patric and Yosuke Ideguchi entered the game in the 54th minute - replacing Shinya Yajima and Endo - and Patric was immediately causing problems for the away defence, both Hiroki Fujiharu and the big Brazilian having shots blocked from close range, with Patric also finding space for a header straight at the 'keeper. Just as Gamba seemed to be getting on top of the game, though, Maruhashi got involved again and latched onto a Hroshi Kiyotake lay back to blast home from outside the area to give his team a two-goal cushion well against the run of play.
Gamba did not get discouraged by conceding again and continued to piece moves together, finally earning a breakthrough when a fine move saw a cross to Patric initially cleared, but Kosuke Onose's half volley from the rebound was stopped quite deliberately by the hand of Yasuki Kimoto. A penalty kick was given and Ademilson nonchalantly converted to pull a goal back for the men in blue and black.
Gamba never gave up and an Usami free kick from the right came across invitingly for Genta Miura and Patric but they appeared to get in each other's way and the chance went begging, with the points going to Cerezo.
Team - Higashiguchi, Suganuma (Yamamoto, 81), Miura, Kim, Onose, Fujiharu, Yajima (Ideguchi, 54), Kurata (Ono, 69), Endo (Ideguchi, 54), Usami, Ademilson (Watanabe, 81)
Goal - ADEMILSON 68'

A full continuum of special education and related services is available to all children who meet specific eligibility requirements. Each school provides a variety of services to address the diverse needs of their student population. All schools are committed to providing services in the least restrictive environment. This commitment provides the opportunity for children to participate in and benefit from the general education curriculum and environment as much as possible.
Students are identified for special education through a child find process as required by federal and state guidelines.
Students between the ages of 3-5 years old who reside within school district boundaries may participate in a developmental screening through HBR's Early Learning Program. This screening will determine if the child is meeting developmental milestones in the areas of speech and language, academic readiness, social emotional readiness, and motor skills. If difficulties are detected from the screening, an evaluation may be initiated in order to identify possible special education eligibility. To schedule a developmental screening, please contact the Amy Spears at 815-286-7576 or [email protected].
For students who are currently attending our K-12 buildings, the district uses a Problem Solving process to provide interventions in order to supplement research based core instruction for academic or behavioral deficits.
The building Student Assistance Team regularly reviews classroom performance and assists in connecting students to appropriate interventions, if deemed appropriate. The data from this process then provides the foundation for a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach, which may result in a referral for a comprehensive evaluation and a possible determination of eligibility for special education services.
To determine whether the student requires an evaluation, the school district may utilize screening data, prior standardized assessments, current grades, social emotional information, and progress monitoring data if applicable.
Questions regarding referral procedures should be directed to the district psychologist.
Students who qualify for special education services, may need specific services in order to meet their individual needs. Each building is staffed with personnel who are qualified to provide the appropriate services and support, as determined by the Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Social work, psychological services, speech/language therapy, occupational and physical therapy are some of the related services provided as individual student needs deem necessary. Related service staff members are listed on building staff rosters and can be contacted through the child’s school.

Initial unemployment claims for the last week of May fell to 1.9 million, extending one of the worst unemployment crises in the nation's history.
The figure, while staggering, represented a continued downward trend in weekly claims from an April peak of 6.9 million, giving some economists hope that the worst part of the coronavirus-sparked crisis is in the rearview mirror.
Last week's figure of 2.1 million was revised up by 3,000. Until March, the highest weekly level of claims in history was below 700,000.
The new data also showed an additional 623,000 claims of Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, a program passed in March's CARES Act that expanded benefits to freelancers, the self-employed and other groups typically not eligible for unemployment insurance.
The Federal Reserve's data on continuing claims, however, rose roughly 650,000 from last week to 21.5 million. That figure is a better representation of the overall unemployment picture because it takes into account those who have returned to work.
But the economy has begun to improve as the government pumped in trillions of dollars and states have moved to lift some virus-related restrictions.
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday shined a spotlighted on how unemployment has disproportionately hit minority communities and laid the blame for the crisis on President Trump.
"More than 42 million Americans have now filed for unemployment in the last three months, and, as with so many burdens in our society, Black and Latino communities are being hit hardest," he said in a statement, pointing to data showing furlough and layoff rates among Latinos at 20 percent, African Americans at 16 percent and whites at 11 percent.
"Trump has failed to take seriously not just the scale of this problem, but also who is most impacted," he said, accusing the Trump administration of shutting minority business owners out of recovery funds.
Minority-owned businesses faced disproportionate trouble applying for forgivable small-business loans when the emergency program rolled out because they had fewer relationships with the big banks and financial lenders that got the program up and running fastest.
The latest figures come a day ahead of the Labor Department's monthly jobs report, which some economists expect will show the unemployment rate around 20 percent, the worst since the Great Depression.
"There is growing disagreement among economists about whether May will represent the worst of the crisis for the job market," said Glassdoor senior economist Daniel Zhao.
"While UI [unemployment insurance] claims have acted as a useful real-time indicator thus far, we may soon enter a phase where UI claims understate the health of the labor market as claims remain elevated but hiring picks up,” he added.

Microplastics affect the survival of amphibians and invertebrates in river ecosystems
Concern about contamination caused by microplastics is growing; owing to their abundance, ubiquity and persistence over time, microplastics pose a potential risk for organisms and ecosystems.
Yet studies into their distribution in freshwater systems, in both lakes and rivers, and their effects on the organisms in these waters are few and far between, and there is very little information about their potential effect on the functioning of these ecosystems.
In this context, in collaboration with the National Museum of Natural Sciences (CSIC-National Research Council) in Madrid, the UPV/EHU's Stream Ecology research group has studied “the effects of microplastics on freshwater ecosystems and on two of the most important groups of organisms that live in them: amphibians and invertebrates”, explained Naiara López-Rojo, researcher in the UPV/EHU group.
To do this they conducted lab experiments in which they replicated the conditions of the rivers and ponds where these animals live, and exposed them to different concentrations of fluorescent microplastics: “Replicas without microplastics (control), at a low, at an intermediate and at a high concentration, while the remaining characteristics were identical (light, temperature, etc.).”
That way the group studied firstly the effect of the microplastics on tadpole survival, food and growth as well as the ingestion and egestion of them. In addition “we analysed whether the microplastics attach themselves to periphyton (set of microscopic organisms that grow on the rocks at the bottom of the river or pond and main source of food for the tadpoles) and whether their productivity changes, because that would demonstrate an alteration in the way freshwater ecosystems function”, said the researcher.
Secondly, they examined the effects of the microplastics on the decomposition of the leaf litter (one of the most important processes in river ecosystems) and on the survival and growth of organisms that feed on it (detritivore invertebrates); they also studied the degree of attachment of the microplastics to the leaf litter and degree of ingestion and egestion of the detritivores, thus evaluating the trophic transfer mechanisms of the microplastics.
Combination with other stressors
The results demonstrate that “microplastics cause mortality in detritivores in all their concentrations (in the highest concentration mortality is nine times higher) but their growth is not affected. In the case of tadpoles, we saw that they die in the highest concentration of microplastics; in the other concentrations we did not see any lethality, but we did see a reduction in the growth of the amphibians”, added López-Rojo.
The fluorescence studies conducted on the tadpoles indicate, according to the researcher, “a presence of microplastics in the organisms, in their faeces and in the periphyton. And that suggests that microplastics could be significant stressors for amphibians, like other contaminants, climate change, habitat loss, etc. Amphibians could also be a significant transmission channel of freshwater microplastics to terrestrial ecosystems”.
In the case of the invertebrates, the tests suggest that the microplastics were also ingested (very likely through the ingestion of particles attached to the leaf litter) and some of them were excreted. The more the concentration of microplastics increased, the less the leaf litter decomposed.
“These results provide fresh evidence of the damaging effects of this contaminant on aquatic insects and on the functioning of river ecosystems, and highlight the need to standardise the methods to be used in future experiments on microplastics to be able to draw comparisons,” concluded the researcher in the UPV/EHU's Department of Plant Biology and Ecology.
López-Rojo stresses the need to go on exploring the effect of this kind of contaminant on freshwater ecosystems: “We are seeing that the outcome depends on the type of organism you study, exposure time, etc. More prolonged exposure would need to be studied because in actual fact the plastics persist for much longer than 15 days. It would also be interesting to study the effect of this contaminant together with other types of stressors which both rivers and ponds are subjected to. The reason is that the interaction among various stressors could turn out to be even more harmful.”

Botanical name Juniperus communis L
Processing Method Steam Distillation
Color/Consistency A thin, from colorless to yellow or pale green
Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma A middle note with a medium aroma, Juniper Berry has a fresh, rich, balsamic scent reminiscent of pine needles.
Juniper berries are a spice used in a wide variety of culinary dishes and best known for the primary flavor. Juniper is a coniferous evergreen shrub that belongs to the pine family and is commonly found on heaths and mountains in Europe, North America, and Southwest Asia. Juniper berries Known as a powerful detoxifier and immune system booster. Juniper berries themselves are high in flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants that have strong free radical scavenging abilities. It is high in flavonoids and antioxidants so it fights against free radical damage.
Juniper berries, including Juniperus phoenicea and junipers oxycedrus have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs at multiple sites. J. oxycedrus is not known to grow in Egypt, and neither is juniperus excelsa, which was found along with J. oxycedrus in the tomb of tutankhamun.The berries imported into Egypt may have come from Greece; the Greeks record using juniper berries as a medicine long before mentioning their use in food.
The berries are green when young, and mature to a purple-black color over about 18 months. The berries are plucked from the branches of the plant once a year, and dried and ground before distillation. They have traditionally been used as an aromatic aid to meditation, and had remedial applications.
It should be avoided during pregnancy and by those who have kidney problems, and it should always be used in low concentrations.
Quality Common adulterants of juniperberry oil include the oil from fermented fruits, juniper wood and twig oil, turpentine oil and terpene hydrocarbon fractions. In one comparative analysis, 15 minor constituents, present in a lab-distilled oil at between 0.1 and 1.0%, were not detected in a commercial oil.
Hazards Skin sensitization if oxidized.
Cautions Old or oxidized oils should be avoided. Our safety advice Because of its high a-pinene content we recommend that oxidation of juniperberry oil is avoided by storage in a dark, airtight container in a refrigerator. The addition of an antioxidant to preparations containing it is recommended.
Has GRAS status. A warning about kidney irritation appears in the Expanded Commission E Monographs: ‘excessive use of juniperberry oil] may cause kidney irritation and damage because terpinen-4-ol has demonstrated irritant activities’
Adverse skin reactions Undiluted juniperberry oil was moderately irritating to rabbits, but was not irritating to mice orpigs. A patch test using undiluted juniperberry oil for 24 hours produced positive reactions in 2/20 volunteers tested. When tested at 8% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic.
Nephrotoxicity We found no evidence to support the Commission E Monographs statement about kidney irritation. Blumenthal et al references two other books, which in turn reference other books, but we could find no definitive source for this warning. However, we did find evidence of a lack of nephrotoxicity.
Reproductive toxicity Several sources have flagged juniperberry as being contraindicated in both pregnancy and kidney disease. A vigorous attempt was made to trace the source of these contraindications.
Acute toxicity Juniperberry oil acute oral LD50 in rats reported as 8.0 g/kg and as >5 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >5 g/kg.
Antioxidant/pro-oxidant activity Juniperberry oil showed moderate antioxidant activity as a DPPH radical scavenger and in the aldehyde/carboxylic acid assay.
Carcinogenic/anticarcinogenic potential No information found. (þ)-Limonene displays anticarcinogenic activity.
We believe that there is no reason to regard juniperberry oil as being hazardous. There are two likely reasons why juniperberry oil acquired a ‘tainted’ reputation, which has since been quoted and re-quoted. Firstly, there has been some confusion between juniper and savin. One research paper, published in 1928, has the sub-heading: ‘Emmenagog e Oils. In the body of the text it later states: ‘The popular idea has always been that pennyroyal, tansy, savin and other oils produce abortion. It is obvious that savin and juniper have been confused. This could explain why juniperberry oil was considered dangerous in pregnancy, since savin oil certainly is so. Secondly, if juniper berries are abortifacient, and if the component responsible for this is unknown, then suspicion could naturally fall on the essential oil. Gin has a reputation as an abortifacient, but again juniperberry oil is very unlikely to be responsible for any such effects, since the average maximum concentration of juniperberry oil in alcoholic beverages is only 0.006%. Most commercial juniperberry oil is a by-product of gin manufacture, and is derived from fermented fruits; this oil is not very aromatic.

Jan 17, 2007 (LBO) – Sri Lanka will invite a private operator to build an optical fibre backbone in partnership with the state-owned railway system, a senior minister said. Sri Lanka’s transport ministry which runs the railways department had been given approval to start looking for a telecom operator to lease the country’s 1,200 kilometres of railway tracks, information minister Anura Yapa said.
The transport ministry has already completed a preliminary study with the help of the island’s telecom regulator, a note submitted to the cabinet by the ministry said.
Several telecom firms had already asked permission from the railways department to build a fibre optic network on railway land.
The ministry has sought approval to tender for a private sector partner to set up an “enterprise with the co-ordination of the state and the private sector.”
Sri Lanka’s rail network radiates from Colombo to the north up to Jaffna, though trains now operate only to Vavuniya town as territory beyond the town is controlled by the Tamil Tigers.
Another track runs to the east towards Trincomalee and Batticaloa in the east. Tracks also go along the western coast northward

Google is finally rolling-out Duo voice call to its range of Home speakers. Users can now make and receive calls with other Duo users on their smart speakers. The feature is already available on the company's smart displays and is now being extended to smart speakers including the Google Home, Home Mini, and Home Max. It is currently only available in English in the United States, and calls are only possible between Duo users. A user cannot make emergency calls using Duo.
The device used to contact a user's Nest display must have a camera in order for video calling to function. According to a report, Duo calling is available in other languages as well (German), as long as a user has the primary language of his/her Google Home speaker set to US English.
How to Set Up Duo Calling?
- Open the Google Home app on your phone
- Tap your device
- At the top right, tap Settings
- Under the 'More' option, choose Duo calling
- Follow the in-app instructions for set up.
A user must make sure that he/she connects to his/her Google Account in the Duo app on their phone before following the above steps. When a user wants to use his/her Google Home smart speaker to make a Duo call, simply say “Call [contact] on Duo,” and then “End the call” or “Hang up” when you're finished. To receive or answer a Duo call, a user will just have to say “Ok Google,” then “Answer the call”. To decline Duo call, a user will have to say “Decline the call”. A user can even turn on the Do Not Disturb mode to temporarily prevent Home speaker from receiving calls.

The Philippine Rugby Football Union are proud to announce that the Philippine National Men’s 7s Rugby team has received its invitation from the International Rugby Board to compete in the world’s largest rugby sevens tournament, the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens.
Scheduled on March 23-25, 2012 at the Hong Kong Stadium (capacity 40,000) the Hong Kong 7s is a by-invitation-only tournament attended by the top sevens teams in the world like New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and England. It is considered the premier leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series played in Australia, Dubai, South Africa, New Zealand, USA, Japan, Scotland and England. Sevens Rugby, which plays seven men per team on the field, is a faster, more exciting version of Rugby Union which plays 15 men per side.
It was the Philippine Volcanoes’ Silver-medal winning performance at the Borneo 7s held in September 2011, which merited the invitation to this prestigious tournament. Ranked 7th in a field of 12 teams, the Volcanoes, led by Men’s 7s Captain, Jake Letts, guided by National, Coach Matt Cullen and Assistant, Noel Flowers, surprised everyone by beating their highly-regarded rivals one by one, finishing second only to Asia’s number one-ranked Japan.
“This invitation to the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens marks a milestone in the history of the Union” says PRFU President, Alvin San Diego. “It’s a testament to the hard work of our players, coaches and supporters and more importantly, proof that Filipinos can excel in the sport of Rugby.”

New York, NY–On March 16, just hours after Thomson officials announced that they were closing their Marion, Indiana, television picture-tube plant, the factory burst into flames. No deaths and one minor injury were reported.
According to an interview with the Associated Press, fire chief Steve Gorrell stated that evidence found at the scene suggests arson as the cause of the fire. Flames broke out approximately four hours after 990 workers learned that they had lost their jobs and that the plant was closing. Marion’s Farnsworth Radio and Television plant has been in operation since 1948.
“We know how it started, it’s just a matter of finding out who started it,” Gorrell told the press. “It appears to be arson.”
The plant closing reflects attempts by Thomson–manufacturer of the RCA and Technicolor brands–to revive its components division by moving production to China, Mexico and Poland. Foreign outsourcing is a cost-cutting tactic now practiced widely by consumer electronics manufacturers.
The Marion closing and concurrent termination of 545 jobs at Thomson’s Circleville, Ohio, facility, drop Thomson’s U.S. workforce below 10,000.

For London-based kirigami paper artist and designer director Marc Hagan-Guirey (AKA Paper Dandy), a turning point came in March of 2012 when – after picking up the kirigami craft – he decided to leave his job as Head of Design at a Soho-based advertising agency to concentrate on paper engineering full-time, starting with his first personal project Horrorgami.
Marc’s first foray into kirigami – which is a variation of origami that focuses more on cutting paper than folding it (from Japanese “kiru” = to cut, “kami” = paper) – opened up on Halloween of that year and featured a collection of 13 kirigami structures based on selected locations from various horror-themed television shows and films. Due to the popularity of the exhibition – which was picked up by everyone from the BBC to Wired and Creative Review – Marc has had no difficulty securing work from commercial and private clients who want to add a little kirigami flair to internal projects and advertising campaigns. Among others he has worked with to date include Samsung Galaxy, Procter & Gamble and Decorex International, among others.
Of course, it’s difficult to be a talented artist or designer in 2015 without having some sort of a love for the world of Star Wars – and Hagan-Guirey is no different.
Having been a life long fan of the Star Wars saga, Hagan-Guirey actually created his first Star Wars-inspired kirigami collection before the Horrorgami collection that put his name on the map. Needless to say, he’s had plenty of time to refine his scalpel skills and ensure that every last Stormtrooper, Ewok or TIE Bomber looks absolutely perfect – and now he wants to share his collection of complex 3D Star Wars scenes that were engineered from single sheets of A4 paper with the world.
Although he is not seeking funds to complete his project, Hagan-Guirey has turned to Kickstarter to help raise the £16,600 necessary to ensure that he can create the exhibition experience he’s envisioning for the already-made Star Wars scenes.
“My goal isn’t to make a profit – it’s simply to produce the exhibition so that Star Wars fans can enjoy seeing the unique kirigami models in their physical form,” said Hagan-Guirey.
“Every penny will go towards making a better gallery experience.”
Since starting on the project, Marc has financed the entire thing on his own – including the manufacturing of the dedicated display cases that have become the bulk of his expenses.
“It is incredibly important for (me) to remain entirely respectful to the Star Wars brand and therefore will not be selling editions of the art. This means the funds to produce the exhibition must come from elsewhere. (My) goal isn’t to make a profit – it’s simply to produce the exhibition so that Star Wars fans can enjoy seeing the unique kirigami models in their physical form. Every penny will go towards making a better gallery experience.”
With 26 days left to go, Hagan-Guirey has already raised nearly two-thirds of his campaign goal. For those who are in London, this might be one Kickstarter project worth supporting … those who help fund the project have the option for a private viewing of the show when it opens. For those not in the London area, other rewards include desktop wallpaper and signed copies of paper cuts. Find out more by heading over to Kickstarter.

Shriners, recognized by their bright red fezzes, will be at area White Castles to give customers the opportunity to make a donation to their hospitals in Chicago, Cincinnati and Lexington, Ky., in exchange for a voucher for three free hamburgers.
Potentate Tim Murphy stresses the importance of supporting Shriners Hospitals, saying, “Many people, when asked what the Shriners do, talk about our parade units. What they may not know is that that man in the fez driving the miniature car or marching in a band plays a large role in supporting the well-being of children who need medical care throughout the world.”
Participating restaurants include the ones at 3229 S. East St., 4520 S. Emerson Ave., 105 Sheek Road, Greenwood, 1414 W. Thompson Road and 2165 Shelby St.
The hospitals specialize in providing care for orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate.
Shriners International, a fraternity based on the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth, founded the network of hospitals as its official philanthropy in 1922. What began as one hospital is now a world-renowned health-care system with 22 facilities in three countries.

American policing is on the fast track to paralysis and sclerosis as cops across the country learn to sidestep all but the most critical situations. Meanwhile, police departments are struggling to find someone, anyone, to replace officers heading for the exits as fast as they can.
Last summer, without fanfare or notice, President Obama’s Commission on 21st Century Policing made plain that the notion of policing as a profession was now officially dead. Fifty years after the Kerner Commission and President Johnson’s Commission on Civil Disorders endorsed the long-term goal of equipping every cop with a baccalaureate degree, just one percent of departments make this a prerequisite to hiring. Instead, departments are abandoning requirements that officers have any exposure to college at all, since this modest requirement dries up the recruiting pool. Even without college, criminal and background checks disqualify so many in some places, that in Detroit, for example, only 130 out of 2,300 applicants could be hired.
Police officers who took it for granted that their physical safety could be at risk are increasingly unwilling to expose themselves to the internal, civil and criminal penalties—not to mention the possibility of being publicly demonized, if even a well-intentioned action goes wrong. Cops wearing body cameras are 13 percent more likely to be assaulted—which makes sense given that striking the first blow, or taking any aggressive action, can be more than optically unsettling but mean the end of one’s career. Response times in some cities have shot up as cops try to make sure they don’t arrive on scene in time for an officer-involved shooting.
To do their work, officers cannot interact with citizens as equals. They must have the upper hand. Now, not only do cops no longer have the upper hand, they are no longer even on parity with individuals with whom they come in contact. Routine stops result in people jousting with and even directly taunting officers. Cops making arrests describe circuslike scenes where individuals emerge from everywhere flaunting cell phones, hurling abuse and engaging in borderline obstruction or more.
The noble part of police work done well was the willingness of cops to go into otherwise abandoned places and take risks in ambiguous situations where consensus was elusive as to how much policing was needed. This was, in the rawest, messiest sense democracy in action. But many officers will in the future be doers no more.
After incessant calls for reforms from many people, principally those who have never done the work, the trajectory of criticism and reform spurred on by a mix of legitimate concerns and half-truths and whopping omissions, have created what they think is a masterpiece of written rules and proscriptions, but don’t tell us where the officers will come from to read this script.
This will fall most heavily on the poorest places becoming the last governmental abandonment of residents. In Chicago, a city of 20,000 murders over two and a half decades, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson responded to an uptick in shootings by saying “We cannot arrest ourselves out of this.”Just imagine delivering this news to the well to do white parents of a child murdered as she slept in her dorm at Brown.
The terrible irony is that our empty debate, while it juices cable ratings before they all too predictably move on to the next story and the next video, is resulting in serious damage to the police without any concomitant advancement for the poorest and most neglected they are meant to protect and serve.
The law and order calls of the 80s and 90s are replaced now by claims that policing is by definition abusive, prison an unnecessary anachronism—with nothing to fill the void except historic and philosophical constructs. Those are easy to construct when it is not your children being slaughtered or your neighborhood where noise has denied you a good night sleep for years. We are playing out, yet again, a failed 50-year-old script.
There’s much blame to go around for the sorry place we are in.
For inflammatory irresponsibility and dissembling, who better to look at than Rudy Giuliani, now reduced to benchwarmer and Trump cheerleader status but still a reliable insulter of the black community with a special talent of seizing on the actions of one individual to tar an entire race. The mayor who helped transform New York City has become an éminence grise of the ever older and whiter Republican party that no doubt contains many hushed voices of reason.
Then there is President Obama, who despite his fundamental decency and good will remains after seven and a half years in office in a stuck-groove conversation about how to keep people from being shot by cops or incarcerated—who will leave office having said much but having accomplished little to change those dynamics.
Reining in police use of deadly force—the issue that is driving the national conversation now, one video at a time—is perhaps the most unachievable effort of all. It is extraordinarily difficult to try to micromanage the unscripted and unpredictable encounters cops get into when they go into harm’s way without putting cops and citizens alike in grave risk.
Then there are the disconnected media commentators who seem to think that all crime is a myth as they type out missives from their heavily fortified offices and homes, advancing the idea that all policing is oppression with an utter disregard for any inconvenient facts or consideration of the consequences of their advocacy. Actual hate speech may turn out to be less damaging than constantly repeating clichés that leave out tons of inconvenient facts.
The libertarians who argue, even as acts of atrocious violence and mass murder become weekly American events, against the police “militarizing.” Like so many others, their affirmative public safety strategy can be summarized in no words or less.
The second amendment obsessives who somehow see street crime, suicides and even mass murders as the price to be paid for liberty. With that mentality, perhaps someday whole American cities will be sacked and under siege by gunmen.
More: The reporters and papers chomping at the bit to find a new police scandal but who go mum the minute a story goes in another direction. The lawyers looking to make big names or hit big scores on shaky cases, often built on misrepresentation or suborned perjury, that they try to sell to credulous reporters. The technologists making fortunes on body cameras and tasers and the myth of a better way to police through devices even as nationwide we now solve a staggeringly low number of even serious violent crimes. The think tanks — the same elite that helped us get into Iraq — that transformed articles about an unproven theory of broken windows into a numbers-driven pseudo-science that has put police on a needless war-like footing in too many poor places.
The fringe in the Black Lives Matter movement who seem to dismiss the need for policing altogether, no matter how many times cops have risked it all for their protection as they did once again in Dallas in full view of the whole world. While the provocation of the group’s title is totally understandable in the never ending struggle for civil rights, it has become the wind beneath the wings of many white crackpots and racists, giving them center stage and making them look like sages instead of the fools that they are.
Those clueless police chiefs who keep using outdated and sometimes outrageous practices and avert their eyes to truly dangerous cops — and the politicians who let them do so, through insufficient interest or, more often, a craven willingness to go along with the status quo and think always, always about political survival and aspiration above duty.
Finally, there are those cops who destroyed the good work of their colleagues one degrading and searing humiliation at a time of civilians who’d done nothing to earn that treatment. With airs of studied contempt, they take moments to undo years of tenuous progress.
I have great respect for all those police officers, police reformers and others with the best of intentions, but those who over-simplify risk being exposed by new events.
In place of much insightful commentary about how forward progress is achieved amidst the realities the poor and struggling places, there has been endless restatement of old resentments, clichés and orthodoxies and alluring but empty political sniping and point scoring. After decades of falling crime, and lives saved, some clearly view the humbling — perhaps even the destruction— of policing as an epic achievement.
Democracy is fragile indeed, perhaps even increasingly feeble. In Rio, South Africa, Mexico, vigilantes and thugs rule, while the police are sidelined, irreparably inoperative and corrupted.
In our own country, there are more than a few that relish our state of division hoping to exploit it to allow them to weaken a government that is needed most of all to protect the poor and the vulnerable: black churches, gay night clubs, children at Sandy Hook, ordinary folks at a California Christmas party, marathon spectators. Gun purchases soar and there is a growing cadre of people planning for a great unravelling.
While attention is focused on policing, this is the moment for a bi-partisan 9/11-Commission-type panel right here, right now to swiftly recommend three to five specific public safety issues and solutions with enough granularity that it would force both presidential candidates to address its ideas. Along with re-legitimizing policing, this panel would need to consider national security, because there is every reason to believe federal law enforcement suffers from the same paralysis that cops in the streets now do and it will similarly get only worse. For law enforcement at all levels It is alarmingly easier not to stick one’s neck out and be vilified than to wait to pick up the pieces, but policing issues though important will pale should someone detonate a dirty bomb in midtown Manhattan or Miami.
The nation needs these issues addressed with urgency and offered insights. Otherwise, we will continue what has been a sophomoric, puerile campaign — one that points to a very low road to come under our next president.

The Jakarta Post
The North Jakarta municipality plans to develop a digital alms system at mosques and mushola (prayer rooms) within the city's offices to help Muslims meet their religious obligations.
North Jakarta administration and public welfare assistant Wawan Budi said his side had disseminated the information to civil servants working at the city's offices.
The system will be launched in collaboration with city-owned Bank DKI Syariah.
"In this digital era, the utilization of cash has been reduced. So, it would help people to give to charity," Wawan said on Thursday, kompas.com reported.
Before being applied to all the mosques and mushola in the municipality's offices, the system will be applied in Babussalam Mosque first, which is located inside the North Jakarta mayor's office.
Bank DKI Syariah's representative from the Kelapa Gading chapter, Andry Pramuria, said the digital alms would be included in the mobile wallet app JakOne Mobile.
"Later, we will attach a QR code to each mosque, so that the money will be transferred directly to the respective mosque and mushola's bank accounts."
Wawan added that expansion to the mosques and mushola in public areas could follow if implementation in the city's offices was deemed successful. (sau)

Maneuvering Safely Around the .NET Development Landscape
11/03/2019 Rüdiger Kügler
One of the most frequent questions I see asked in developer communities, like StackOverflow and Github, is when to use .NET framework and when to use .NET Core, as there seems to be confusion with the name and different flavors available. It is not uncommon for developers to ask:
Should I develop .NET desktop applications using the entire .NET Framework? Or should I use ASP.NET Core web apps or Universal Windows Platform (UWP) with .NET Core? Or, perhaps I should embrace Mono, the cross-platform, open-source .NET framework alternative from Xamarin/Microsoft?
Knowledgeable .NET developers seem to be very helpful in providing advice to other developers based on their personal experience with the platforms. For the newbies, however, it would be helpful to research some very basic information about the platforms before weighing in with questions on the forums.
Microsoft provides straightforward definitions of the various .NET platforms with a multitude of technical support documents. For the basics, they say:
.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET implementation for websites, servers, and console apps on Windows, Linux, and macOS
.NET Framework supports websites, services, desktop apps, and more on Windows
Xamarin/Mono is a .NET implementation for running apps on all the major mobile operating systems.
There are also many other sources that can help sort it out, one being a recent explanation of the differences between .NET Framework and .NET Core on C-sharpcorner.
Confusion with the name and different flavors of .NET developer tools can also affect companies like Wibu-Systems, who provide software products and services to .NET developers. As the developer of the CodeMeter software protection, licensing and security solution, it is critical for our customers that we support all flavors and versions of the .NET programming platforms.
Perhaps, unlike others in the .NET support community, we’ve adopted a unique approach to .NET compatibility by making our AxProtector encryption tool universally compatible with all variants of the .NET platforms. This approach eases the burden for our .NET customers (one less thing to worry about) as well as removes the potential for confusion from our own customer support team.
If you are curious as to how we make universal .NET support possible, watch our on-demand webinar recording, Protecting .NET Standard 2.0 Applications. Our security experts take a deep dive into our AxProtector encryption platform and demonstrate how it is configured to support applications developed on all .NET Framework and .NET Core versions.
VP Sales | Security Expert
After completing his physics degree course in 1995, he was head of project management for software protection, software distribution, internet banking, and multimedia projects. In 2003, he joined Wibu-Systems and, as part of his role, contributed substantially to the development of Blurry Box technology.

They live in different regions of the province and hail from different walks of life. Men and women. Young and not-so-young. The five volunteers you are about to meet have one thing in common: all have a passion for helping the ALS Society of Quebec and a deep love for someone impacted by the devastating disease. Each is also busily organizing their local Walk for ALS. Along the way, they have raised funds, raised awareness and raised spirits.
Yary Coulombe, a nurse by profession, watched her father succumbed to the terrible disease. Before he died, Yary and her brother Yamil took up the cause, pitching-in to help organize the Gatineau Walk for ALS. Yary, who helped merge the Gatineau walk with the big annual Ottawa walk, focuses much of her attention on finding sponsors. She serves on the committee along with Diane Michaud, another volunteer dedicated to the cause. The annual Gatineau/Ottawa Walk for ALS will be held on June 14.
Gilles Martel also devotes himself to the cause in La Malbaie, in the Charlevoix region. Gilles, who lost a very close friend to ALS, has worked tirelessly for over a decade to organize fundraising activities to benefit the ALS Society of Quebec. Aged 61, Gilles doesn’t think of slowing down. “I find strength in the people who face this disease. People who’ve helped me find beauty in the simplest things.” Like the friend who despite her illness, marvelled at the sight of birds heralding the arrival of spring: the seasonal renewal of life. Gilles is terribly aware there is no renewal for people with ALS, but thanks to his efforts, and to many others like him, those living with ALS do not journey alone. The annual Charlevoix Walk for ALS will be held on June 22.
For the last eight years, Francine Lachance has been volunteering with five others to organize the ALS Walk in Sherbrooke. She feels compelled to get involved, “If I stop people wouldn’t know about this awful disease. ALS imprisons people in their own bodies.. This walk, it is something I just have to do.” Ms. Lachance worked side-by-side with a woman who retired only to learn a few months later she has ALS and her boyfriend’s cousin recently lost his battle with the disease. Knowing the money raised by the ALS Walk goes towards ALS research and towards finding a cure keeps Francine and the volunteer committee in Sherbrooke energized. Furthermore, the committee also organized other events in the region in support of our mission such as the Bal en Bleu, a benefit-gala held in Sherbrooke in February. The annual Sherbrooke Walk for ALS will be held on August 24.
Meet Odette Lacroix, a bundle of energy, now aged in her 70’s. Odette says her husband went through a period of despair when he was diagnosed with ALS. The retired nurse refused to abandon her beloved husband to his crushing discouragement. She drew her husband into volunteer work, standing by him to the very end. When the ALS Society of Quebec asked her to organize the annual Quebec City Walk for ALS, Odette didn’t hesitate. “Doing nothing would have made me useless,” she says. This is Odette’s fifth year as a volunteer organizer, and she continues to bounce along, marshalling recruits and sponsors, generating media buzz, crossing t’s and dotting i’s. The annual Quebec City Walk for ALS will be held on July 5.
Further east along the Saint Lawrence, Diane Desrosiers, coordinator of the Walk in Baie-Comeau, makes the rounds of the local media. She whips up interest in the different activities she helps organize. Diane assembled a team through Facebook two years ago. Since then, they have organized a Walk for ALS, a golf tournament, a grocery bagging event and a benefit-dance-show at a local nightclub. “We have a small population here”, says Diane. “Just having a walk wasn’t enough.”
Diane was thrust into her father’s ALS journey in late-2008. “The disease took papa in just six months. It was horrible.” She recalls an encounter with a local TV reporter who broke down on camera and cried when Diane described her father’s rapid decline and his final moments. The annual Baie Comeau Walk for ALS will be held on June 8 and is coordinated by Karine Otis.
Each of these tireless volunteers epitomizes the Society’s call to action: participate, encourage and support.
Walk for ALS held annually all across Quebec.
In addition to being a great opportunity to come together and show solidarity, the numerous Walks for ALS continue to raise public awareness about the lives of people with ALS and their families and to raise funds used to maintain the quality of services offered to members and to support research to find the cause and cure for this terrible disease.

Top Ten Fundraising Tips
Advice gathered from our four Walk for ALS organizers:
- Contact the ALS Society of Quebec. Their experts will suggest a starting point to begin networking with others who share your passion.
- Give yourself plenty of time. It will take anywhere from four to six months to organize your event.
- Form a committee. You can start by identifying friends, family and colleagues who share your passion. Social media is an excellent rallying tool.
- Determine the particular talent or expertise of each committee member so you can assign them tasks at which they will excel.
- Delegate! Delegate! Delegate! No man or woman can do it all: you’ll need someone to lead the search for sponsors, another to coordinate media contacts, a treasurer to manage finances, a secretary to take minutes at committee meetings, etc.
- Make sure you have someone who can sign-up and organize volunteers to help the day of the fundraiser.
- Get permission and permits from local authorities as you seek a venue or route for your activity. Your city hall and police services are generally very helpful. Give them a call.
- Devise a detailed logistical plan of action for your event: do you need refreshments? Colourful t-shirts? Security along the walk’s route? Hot dogs? Don’t forget the mustard.
- If you hit a snag or have particular concerns or questions at any point in the process, contact the ALS Society of Quebec. They have all kinds of fundraising experts who’ll be delighted to help you or reassure you.
- Don’t get so busy you forget to enjoy your reward: helping people with ALS along their journey. Bask in the beauty of what you are doing.

Fitness Pilates/Pilates for All
Once called “the best kept secret of the rich and famous”!
Pilates is challenging yet safe exercise. Each session is designed to make the maximum use of your time by targeting the deep postural muscles of the body, building strength from the inside out and re-balancing your muscles too. It also promotes a longer, leaner, toned shape, a flat stomach, a strong back and increased mobility and flexibility. It’s no wonder these classes are backed by a range of health professionals worldwide.
As we run different versions of the class bear in mind that Body Control Pilates is a light version of the class, suitable even for for pre/post-natal ladies, and Fitness Pilates is for those who have already practised Pilates before and are not completely beginners.
Check our current timetable for more details!

GOTT THE ARTISTUmělec magazine 2003/3
Tony Ozuna | focus | en cs
"A medley of hits plays in a swank Prague restaurant. It’s a recent all-
covers affair, belted out by Tom Jones with the floor-stompers, “Theme to Evita,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” from the Wizard of Oz soundtrack, Rod Stewart’s “If You Think I’m Sexy,” etc. I’m sure the tourists love this stuff in Vegas; it could even be his actual playlist for casino tours, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s schlock. Even if Tom Jones has a cool name, some good videos, and is buff. Even if he has done the Talking Head’s “Burning Down the House” for some street cred, the music on this particular CD is crap. It’s a
medley for the geriatrics ward, Jones and his peers trying to get it up one last time.
Yet, Tom Jones is “cool,” because the place I’m eating lunch is staffed by hip, pretty people — the interior is dark, a lounge atmosphere with strange photographs, close-ups of noses, ears, mouths. This place is so hip that there is no way in hell you’d ever hear someone like the sexagenarian Czech singer Karel Gott on the sound system. I asked the manager, myself, and he replied, “Gott, no way!”
Well then why Tom Jones, and not Gott? I thought to myself. It can’t be just because websites tell us Tom is so cool. Like the following:
“TOM JONES — WOW IS HE COOL!!!!!
This site is a tribute to Tom Jones, the king of cool. It features Tom Jones lyrics, news, pictures, and chartings. TOM JONES. THE KING OF COOL, THE VOICE.
Admittedly, Jones did not get famous by doing kitschy cover versions of originally kitschy songs. Back in the day, he did record some jams: “It’s Not Unusual,” and “What’s New Pussycat,” etc. Now in his mid 60s, the Welsh Elvis with gold chains around his neck, and sweaty chest full of thick black hair is still appealing to thousands of women and men with his sexual swagger.
Roughly the same age as Jones, Karel Gott, on the other hand, seems not to have an endless list of fan websites like Tom, though he does have some gems in his oeuvre, like the title song for the film Maja the Little Bee or “Where is your Nest, Little Bird?” and because of these, his aging fans do extend well beyond the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the former Soviet bloc. In hard numbers, Gott has a devoted following comparable to Tom Jones, yet it is a more respectable one, because it is without all of the sexually depraved fanaticism. The “Golden Voice of Prague” does not have and never did have screaming women hurling their panties up at him on stage. That just wasn’t a thing that communist-era women did at concerts.
When I saw Tony Bennett, in the Lucerna Ballroom years ago, the grand room was practically empty except for a hundred or so Czech old-timers huddled up close to the stage. Despite the low turnout, Tony still sang his heart out, because he has class. Essentially, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones and Karel Gott are all solid entertainers, top-rate song and dance guys. But under the surface, setting himself apart from all the other crooners of his generation, Karel Gott has a suspiciously keen grasp of European history, and he is an artist.
In a popular magazine interview in 2001, Gott recalled events of centuries ago like it was yesterday. He said, “I’m convinced that especially in the last century these [events] are not mistakes; politics is developing according to an exact script, and nothing is by accident, even the worst events like wars. The winner is always decided long in advance. The same banks which supported the ones who started [the war] negotiated with the ones who were attacked.
“World affairs are controlled by internationalist circles, the so-called illuminati, or enlightened ones, as well as the holy orders, and lodges [Masonic], all the way up to mystic-occult organizations. I’m talking about people who determine who will perform the politics, and the rest is all grand theatre.”
Tom Jones has never talked with such authority about politics and history. Other crooners like Sinatra and Dean Martin also held tight to their role as “entertainers-only” amidst the mafia, corrupt politicians and all of the party people from both of these worlds, which were so openly dependent on each other in ‘50s and ‘60s America.
Gott, on the other hand, speaks about events in history in such a personal way that you’d almost think that he had been there himself. Gott says, [concerning the Illuminati] “They financed all enemy parties in the Napoleonic wars. They sent reports from the battlefield by carrier pigeons, because they were faster than couriers. So, only the chosen ones were correctly informed that Napoleon was decisively defeated at Waterloo. They were the only ones who could make advantageous financial operations and the others were left to wipe their noses.”
And so, maybe because of his unusual political and historical insight, it was not a total surprise to the nation when in 2003, Gott was resurrected in the press by a campaign to elect him as President of the Czech Republic.
Beyond this political side, Gott is
also painter; though he is an amateur, he has had exhibitions around Europe.

Years ago, I lived in Smichov opposite Karel Gott’s grand villa. He was on a hill, like a king, and I lived below by the graveyard, in a ruin of Gypsy squalor. But, with binoculars I had a great view of his place and I followed his late night activities obsessively. He rarely got home before midnight and usually he got home past that. I never saw his girlfriend Ivana Machačková enter the place; he was always alone, yet after getting home he didn’t go straight to bed. Regularly, Gott would head straight to his atelier and paint. He’d often paint till sunrise, then retire till early afternoon.
In his book, Paintings, or why it is important for me to paint, Gott confirms this activity as I saw it. “In order to take the easel and brush in hand, it must be the right day. And if the feeling isn’t there, then it’s better to say that today I won’t paint at all. Other times there’s a day when interesting work comes up and during the night you completely lose track of time; you realize, suddenly, that the sun is rising, that it’s 6:00 in the morning and you still haven’t slept. That is where your freedom lies.”
Because of the distance, I could never decipher what he was actually painting, though this was during the period of some of his best Picasso-influenced, surrealistic kitsch: Corrida del Torro (1999) which combines a bull resembling the stumpy horses from Kupka’s painting Ballad—Joy of Life merged
into cubist Picasso and black velvet matador paintings from Tijuana. And Motherhood (1999), which is “realist” surreal: a white woman beside a little black girl, who is clutching at a littler Asian girl. This is a realm of power relationships and feminist multiculturalism that established Czech artists rarely dare to enter.
Gott’s older work is less surreal. A painting called Time of Tenderness (1973) has two long-haired, buxom women embracing; these lesbian lovers with such thick eye lashes, lips, and nipples are reminiscent of Chicano prison art. This is the kind of Chola babe art used in “Dedication” drawings seen in magazines like Teen Angels and La Bandera. These Chicano underground publications give young gang-members a chance to express themselves creatively, on their own terms, in their own vernacular and most importantly, in a sensitive way as opposed to common street graffiti scrawl. It is an outlaw art, and in some cases it is the raw art of street killers. Whereas baby-faced Gott is just an ageless lady-killer, in both
cases, the art of Karel Gott and Chicano gangsters at its best is an authentic, naive erotica. It figures that Gott’s Time of Tenderness is now in a private collection in Los Angeles, which is the heart of Chicano street art.
A decade ago, Karel Gott had his first independent art exhibit at the Little Infant of Prague’s Gallery, then later, his most publicized show was at Galerie Miro, in Prague’s castle district. These shows have led to other exhibits in Berlin, Cologne, Vienna, Moscow, Bratislava, and Munich. With the exception of Bratislava, these cities are not exactly the backwoods of European culture.
Surprisingly, when I went to Galerie Miro to enquire about Gott’s work, the director there, Dr. Smolak, repeated to me several times, “Gott is not an artist! He is an amateur!” He was puzzled, even angry, that Umělec would bother with Gott and he was embarrassed to have his gallery associated with him.
Sure Gott’s art is naive, but occasionally it has a truly raw aesthetic that formally trained art graduates can only caricature. His “naive” art is the real thing.
Gott has at least two self-portraits. Enthusiastic Pavarotti in Lucerna (1989) features a protruding Karel in the middle of Lucerna’s Ballroom, filled to the rafters with sensual, horny-looking women, a few men scattered here and there, and Pavarotti’s head right at Karel’s ear, with his eyes looking admirably at Karel. Karel’s protruding face in this one betrays a few wrinkles, in sharp contrast to his Atelier with a View (1995), where he is reclining, cigarette in hand, on a seat beneath a painting of a nude woman — the double doors of his atelier are opened to show his wonderful view of the Vltava, Prague Castle and Czech Bridge with its angels on golden columns. In this scene, his own painting of the same view is on a canvas, unfinished. His face in this one is ageless, with baby-smooth skin.
Both of these can serve as Gott’s own picture of Dorian Gray. These paintings are the mirrors to his soul. As Oscar Wilde put it, quoting from Hamlet, to describe Dorian Gray’s portrait, Gott’s self-portraits are “Like the painting of a sorrow, a face without a heart.”

According to Business Insider, the National Retail Federation has predicted that consumers will spend about $13 billion on Father’s Day gifts this year, it may seem like a lot, but it’s no match for the $21 billion spent on Mother’s Day gifts last month. What better way to surprise dad than with his own, private man cave?
A man cave is a space or room in the home where dad can go to unwind after a long day. There are tons of fabulous decorating ideas for these spaces, but the most important aspects are whether 1) the room is functional and 2) it caters to dad’s favorite things. Grand Home owners have the option to use their LifeSpace to create dad’s sanctuary. Here are a few ideas we love!
Let dad practice his putting in peace with his very own golf-themed space complete with putting green! Use old golf clubs, balls, tees etc. to bring the clubhouse feel to the room and don’t forget a TV! Dads love TVs.
Spend this Father’s Day getting to know dad a little better. What are his favorite pastimes? Is he a collector? What would his theme be? Then get started on this project together. Visit garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores for some inexpensive décor pieces, but most of all have fun! No amount of money can buy the quality time you will share with dad. The best things in life are free, after all!
Check out our man cave Pinterest board for more of our favorite ideas!

IN A MONK IN THE WORLD WE ARE LEARNING THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN MONASTICISM AND HOW WE CAN APPLY THEM TO OUR LIVES OUTSIDE THE MONASTERY WALLS.
THIS MONTH’S TOPIC IS THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS.
One thing that attracted me most to Benedictine spirituality is the custom of praying The Liturgy of the Hours. Fixed-hour prayer has its origins in Judaism from which Christianity came and is still widely used today. The connection to this ancient practice is fascinating to me and draws me in with an incredible sense of unity to my spiritual family.
In a previous blog I wrote a book review on The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle. Ms. Tickle has done a marvelous job compiling scripture and prayers for daily use built around the seasons of the year. If you are just learning about this type of prayer routine Phyllis Tickle’s books are an excellent place to start.
By far my favorite way to pray the hours is with my iPhone app The Divine Office. This wonderful ministry has developed beautiful productions of worship experiences and brought them to us via technology. Not to worry, if you don’t have a smart phone you can still participate through their website.
What an incredible experience to join the live recording and gather with a world-wide community who are praying together. This takes Christian community worship to a whole different level! As the earth rotates and each time slot changes we pass on the prayers like a baton to the next time zone. I find this such a sweet thing to imagine. I’ve been using The Divine Office app for 2 years and look forward to hearing the now familiar voices each day.
As a recovering addict this prayer routine has been a great tool especially in rough times. When I can rotate my day around praying the Psalms it helps to push out things of the world by keeping my heart and mind focused on transformation.
I encourage you to consider praying the Liturgy of the Hours. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. It has given my prayer life new direction, energy and purpose.

Every Edel Golf club is built from the ground up. Literally. Over the past two decades, David Edel has had the opportunity and luxury to collaborate with the game's best instructors in the development of our equipment.
It's where our best ideas come from. When you spend your life on a practice facility you know what players need.
Edel Wedges come in 8 different bounces, from lowest to highest degree of bounce. That means that Edel makes a wedge that fits your unique swing profile.
Whether you classify yourself as a "digger" or a "sweeper", a "picker", "nipper" or "trapper", no worries.
Edel helps you play better golf and shoot lower scores. Say "Yes" to custom fit wedges
Several years ago, GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher and Golf Digest Top 50 Instructor Mike Adams began to notice that the vast majority of his students (90%) were setting up to hit wedges with their weight in a right of center position and leaving it there. The results were predictable. Skull, Shank, Thin, Fat. Higher scores.
After lengthy study, Mike determined that the cause was the club. In the golf industry's attempt to create a solution for tight lie shots they mass produced wedges that did not have enough bounce for most players. No other clubs in your bag interacts with the ground like your wedge, it's where you can be the most creative.
Edel Golf has created a proprietary fitting system for wedges, much like it has for putters, to insure you are playing with the proper amount of bounce, and can hit the shots that lead to lower scores. Simple? "Yes." Ability to manufacture by the hundreds of thousands? "No."
The Best Feeling and Best Fitting Putter in the World
Edel Golf is not just about designing and milling the best feeling, best performing high-end putters in the world, but it is a process of carefully fitting each golfer one at a time. After the fitting process is complete, you will own a truly custom putter ideal for your game.
?Edel premium putters are precision milled instruments made from only the best quality materials in the world. Edel custom putters are currently in the hands of top professionals and serious golfers all over the world.
The first step is to assess a golfer's aim. The golfer aims at a small laser projector that looks similar to an actual golf hole.
When the ball is removed, the laser beam reflects off a mirrored putter face, then the reflected beam projects onto a black screen positioned vertically behind the projector, showing the difference between the golfer's aim and the actual target.
After the golfer's aim is determined, the second step is to find the right fit.
This is why the fitter has at their side, a unique system of up to 30 million component combinations made up of various putter heads, hosels, offsets and lie angles to find the combination that corrects for the golfer's natural aim.
Creating the Putter
Once the right combination is found, as the final step, Edel inputs that information to hand-mill a custom putter that's a perfect fit for the golfer.
Edel craftsmen use a combination of old-fashioned craftsmanship and modern technology, coupled with the best raw materials in the world, to create a putter that feels right, looks great, and is customized with the golfer's name or other information stamped into the putter.

Hi Jim,— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) January 8, 2020
I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war.
It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors. pic.twitter.com/QdDBKDSOCS
If you can't view it, Rep. Jim Banks tweeted the following:
Rep. Ilhan Omar complained she’s “stricken with PTSD” because of recent events in the Middle East.
This is a disgrace and offensive to our nation’s veterans who really do have PTSD after putting their life on the line to keep America safe.
There's so much wrong there in just two sentences.
Not only does Jim fucking Banks, not have PTSD nor the credentials to diagnose someone with it or even speak about it, he's also incorrect in suggesting that only soldiers get PTSD. The disorder can occur in anyone who has been through something traumatic, and being a refugee, as Rep. Ilhan Omar is, is pretty much inherently traumatic.
Obviously by "stricken" Omar didn't mean she had come down with PTSD at that very moment, but was feeling the effects. What she probably meant was she had been triggered, but you can't fucking use that word anymore because of RIGHT WING SHITS WHO RUINED A SIMPLE CLINICAL WORD FOR THE REST OF US FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.
Why are people like Jim Banks allowed to be in charge.

We survived this time. We went through twelve movies that had fairly bad reviews when they came out but captured the interest of many in the 1980s, 1990s, and into the 2000s. The character of Jason Voorhees is a part of American culture in the same way Karloff’s Frankenstein’s monster was in his day (and even now). Sure, he lacked the attitude and flash of Freddy Krueger, or the bizarreness of Pinhead, and he certainly wasn’t a cute as Chucky, but Jason held his own.
Looking back, I question whether it was a good idea to go down this road at all. Over twelve essays, I’ve hardly had anything nice to say about these movies. Fans of the series probably checked out a long time ago. What I want you to know is that when I decided, over a year ago now, to go watch these movies and write these essays, I did so in the hopes that they would surprise me. I wanted to see in Jason what his fans saw. I wanted to be able to say that, yeah, I got it.
But I don’t. I get why these movies made money, that’s not in doubt. But I don’t get how these movies are still revered. With the exception of the sixth movie, they’re not all that much fun, or clever. Jason is hardly ever scary. And you never really care about any of the victims.
Yet, their fame persists. I feel like I’ve been too critical–too grumpy, maybe–over these movies that were never designed to be good movies. Where I can make a rather funny argument that the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies are arguably the most important movies of the 1980s because of the socio-political commentaries (someday I may even tell you about that. It’s tongue-in-cheek but I think I have some actual good arguments), I have trouble finding any socio-political worth to the Friday the 13th movies. Except, maybe….
Jason represents Reagan era politics. Jason Voorhees is the conservative machine bent on killing the liberal 1960s and 1970s. The young people who die are lovemaking, pot-smoking kids (hippies) in the earliest movies and MTV kids in the later movies. Jason is a throwback to the conservative ideal that the good ol’ days were better. Once these kids started to experiment with free love and mind-altering substances, their morals and convictions went out the window. And even though Jason always dies at the end, it’s always by the girl (or the girl and guy) who is the cleanest cut of the group, the ones who will probably grow up to vote for the Conservative.
I totally pulled that out of my ass, but it reads well so I’m going to keep it.
Anyway, my favorite of these movies is Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. I think I’d actually own this and watch it again. That and Freddy vs. Jason, which I do own. But you know why. My favorite Jason is a toss-up between the Jasons in those two movies (C.J. Graham and Ken Kirzinger). Though I liked the Jason in the remake (Derek Mears), as well.
With the recent sale of the series back to Paramount, and their plans on doing another reboot, it’ll be interesting to see if they try to make an actual scary movie (if they even can) or just do more of the same. I guess we’ll see.
For now, though, we made it away from Crystal Lake (and New York, and Space) with most of our limbs intact. Thanks for making this journey with me.
I’ve said it here before. I’m not opposed to remakes. There have been some really good ones. Cronenberg’s The Fly, for instance. Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead is another. I even like the Peter Jackson King Kong. I think that if there’s good material at the base, or at least interesting material, and you get a good writer and director, you can make a damn good movie.
Platinum Dunes went for a while producing remakes of horror classics. The production company, led by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form, has been responsible for the remakes of classic movies that I grew up watching: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), and, of course Friday the 13th (2009).
Of that list, the only movie whose original I still haven’t seen is The Amityville Horror (1979). Of that list, the only other remakes I’ve sat through were The Amityville Horror (aka Ryan Reynolds Takes His Shirt Off Too Goddamn Much) and, well, you know. And now, of course, Friday the 13th.
So, what’s to say about the remake? Well….
The cast and acting aren’t terrible. Honestly, my only problem with it is that the cast is too damn pretty. The girls, the guys, everything is a little too slick, a little too polished looking. And in terms of characterization, it’s not terrible…for a Friday the 13th movie. It’s not my favorite cast, but it’s not a terrible one either.
The writing is also not terrible. With a story by Damian Shannon, Mark Swift, and Mark Wheaton, and a screenplay by Shannon and Swift (the duo who wrote Freddy vs. Jason), the script is fairly solid. Are there plotholes? Yeah. Are they major? Meh.
Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears) is returned to his roots as a really mean hulk of a man. He’s not just shambling around and appearing places. His body language is quick and vicious. He’s imposing and unsettling.
By now, call it a remake or a reboot or a re-imagining, it’s still Friday the 13th. The very premise of these movies is young people getting slaughtered in the woods. So whether you call it a remake/-boot/-imagining or call it Part XI, it’s pretty much the same. There’s nothing really new here. It’s a rehash and condensed version of the first four Friday the 13th movies retold for a modern audience. The characters are little more than stereotypes and the suspense is non-existent. Jason is as Jason does, and what he does is kill. The writers and director Marcus Nispel try to bring more pathos to the victims but it never really works.
A Quick Aside
I’m going to take a moment here to digress. I want to talk about the two Platinum Dune remakes that I’ve seen recently and know well: Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. I saw Amityville on a date and remember very little about it. One of my problems with the company that’s at least one-third Michael Bay is that, like most of Bay’s movies, they’re all flash and little substance. The idea that Bay, Fuller, and Form think they are rebooting and re-imagining these movies is troubling or silly, I can’t decide which one.
Their idea of re-imagining is giving us the same story, the same characters, and the same situations, and changing little things for the sake of changing them. In the case of Friday the 13th, it doesn’t matter much, but in the case of A Nightmare on Elm Street, their hubris and their unwillingness to acknowledge the good of the original hurt the material. I suspect their other remakes have the same problem. By taking these original tales and putting their own spin on them, they trivialize the classics the producers claim they love so much and turning them into modern messes.
Saturday the 14th
The thing with the remake of Friday the 13th–and I refuse to call the Platinum Doom (I meant, uh, Dune) movies reboots, they aren’t original enough to hold such a pretentious title–is that, unlike A Nightmare on Elm Street (and presumably their other remakes), it’s not actually much worse than the movies that inspired it. If anything, it’s more of the same. Taking a movie (or series of movies) that have a thin foundation to begin with and just doing the same damn thing isn’t going to be unfaithful to the original, it’s just going to be another one.
There was supposed to be a sequel but as recently as this past summer, news is that the sequel has been scrapped due to New Line Cinema selling Friday the 13th and Jason and the rest to…drumroll…Paramount. And guess what Paramount plans on doing?
Yeah. A reboot.

4-H Enrollment Information for 2020
Happy New Year! It is hard to believe we are starting a New Year, but look forward to an exciting time with Caldwell County 4-H in 2020!
As of January 1, enrollment for 2020 is open. All enrollment information must be submitted into 4HOnline for this year. All active 4-H members and volunteers must update their information each January. To participate in 4-H events like Summer Exploring or camp, youth must also be enrolled.
Please read the section below titled “Transitioning from Paper Enrollment” for information about how we can assist you if you are unable to use 4HOnline to enroll on your own.
General enrollment tips:
- In case of an emergency, please provide insurance name and policy number for your child or children.
- Take time to list any food or medication allergies.
- Complete your physical mailing address, phone number (including emergency numbers) and email address to stay up to date with 4-H happenings throughout the year.
What is 4HOnline?
“4HOnline” is a data management system used nationally by 4-H.
First-timers with 4HOnline
We highly recommend using the step-by-step enrollment guide for your first time using 4HOnline! The system sorts people by family, so each family will have one login.
Did you enroll online in 2019?
If you already have a 4HOnline profile from last year, please reference the “Re-enrolling in 4HOnline” document for assistance!
What will a family see after January 1? On family member screen, they will see all of their family members listed as inactive. They will need to click “Edit” and then click “Enroll for 2020 – 2021.”
Some personal information rolls over from the previous year however, not everything transfers over RE: university guidelines. Thus families are shown all “Personal Information” screens so, that they can make changes if necessary and / or required.
Health form information will be empty (i.e. it will need to be completed again for the 2020 – 2021 program year). Note: We are exploring whether this form can be rolled over annually with a confirmation check-off box.
All authorization fields will be empty (i.e. Photo Release, etc.). Thus, the family member will need to review and provide consent annually.
Youth members must designate at least one (1) project annually (this is a project the youth anticipates completing this year). *Previous clubs and projects will remain a part of their permeant record and can be accessed by going to the family screen, under member reports, and clicking on the family member’s name and “Member – Enrollment History.”

Rock Mechanics is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behavior of rock; it is that branch of
mechanics concerned with the response of rock to the force fields of its physical environment.
Core Laboratories measures the mechanical properties of a rock, such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive
strength, tensile strength and compressibility. All these parameters are directly related to the drilling (wellbore
stability, drilling mud density determination), production (sand control), stimulation (hydraulic fracture) and
stress map of a reservoir. During a rock mechanical test, compressional and shear velocities are also measured
which generate a series of dynamic properties of the rock under the stress.

Zigzag. Out with the old, in with the new. We’re not quite sure where we’re going. But we know what we want to leave: ‘flexible’ workplaces where people don’t matter; universities more like biological processes than forums for deliberation and debate; institutions that thrive by making others precarious, isolated, displaced and hungry. Without knowing the shape of what is to come, we are beginning to create it by forming movements informed by what we are moving away from: lack of deliberation and decision; increased isolation and precarity; displacement and lack of basic need.
The French Yellow Vests are an example of such a movement. Here’s what I learned at a recent neighborhood Yellow Vest assembly in Paris.
“Paris, today and tomorrow
WHY I WAS, AM AND WILL ALWAYS BE:
One is not born, but becomes, yellow vest!
Yes, one becomes yellow vest, not by intellectual demonstrations, philosophical gesticulations or ideological convictions…one becomes yellow vest because one lives life, because one is life; because one is at heart exchanges with the others, because for us the other not an object, but a person.
One is yellow vest because the words solidarity, empathy have a sense for all those who have been demonstrating for several months now.
What does being “yellow vest” mean to me?
Beyond a formal, structural, reflective response, such as the analyses they’ve hit us with now for so many years (media, “intellectuals,” “specialists”), the yellow vests, specifically the yellow vest that I am, see in this movement most simply the possibility of being; without knowing where this movement conducts us, we are there every Saturday in the capital and throughout France, and it is good, it is even very good.”
Those present were young and old, male and female. Some spoke of liberty, others of democracy. They spoke of neighborhood gentrification in which public institutions were threatened with becoming private spaces for the élite. They discussed the role of the police.
Some gave long speeches, some spoke very little. Some came with prepared remarks. Others were spontaneous. They voted on issues and made group decisions. The process itself hinted at what is to come.

One of my favorite entrepreneurial quotes is by Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn. Reid wrote: “The entrepreneurial journey starts with jumping off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.”
This perfectly captures the essence of the fear, leap of faith, commitment and urgency that surrounds the entrepreneurial journey! But it doesn’t answer the big question of “when to jump?”
Dave Girouard, the former President of Google Apps and founder of Upstart spoke at our Entrepreneurship Hour class last week and said that it was a really tough decision for him to leave Google and step out on his own.
“At some point you just can’t stop thinking about the idea,” Dave remarked when asked by a student how he knew it was time to leave Google?
This is, by far, one of the biggest fears and barriers most entrepreneurs will face and actually prevents many would-be-entrepreneurs from getting started. People will carry around with them an idea for a startup for years but fail to execute on it for fear of letting go of what they have.
“I have found that if you ask people how much money they need to feel financially secure before leaving their job and their answer is always exactly 2x what they currently have in the bank,” says Jessica Ewing, a former Googler who recently moved to Ann Arbor. “If they have 50K they tell you they need 100. If they have 10 million, they will tell you they need 20!”
Here are some techniques that people I’ve spoken with use to determine when is the best time to jump:
- Analysis: Spend some time weighing the pros and cons of the new opportunity against the lost opportunity you have when walking away from your current situation… then set that aside and reflect on what is truly important to you and what type of impact you want to have on this world.
- Carpe diem: For some people, the opportunity to do something amazing is what finally pushes them over the edge. Robin Williams summed it up best in Dead Poets Society when he said “Carpe diem. Seize the days, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.”
- Take a shower: “What is the idea that you think about most in the shower?” said Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Dean of Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan. “When you find yourself thinking in the shower about your new idea more than the times you are thinking about your current job you know its time to leave”.
Ultimately, jumping off the entrepreneurial-cliff and starting your journey is a very personal decision. I have been at the edge of the cliff multiple times in my career and I haven’t regretted the leaps I’ve made, the planes I’ve built or the crashes that have sometimes occurred.
For me, entrepreneurship is a way of life and I couldn’t imagine things any other way.

I’ve been working in design for around 8 years now and that’s by no means as long a service record as most but i like to think i’ll have nice little tid-bits of info here and there. Here are 3 things that break my heart when i hear clients say.
“Our users already know that (icon) means (something specific to the product)”
UX/UI design as a specific discipline has really only become big in the last 3 – 4 years in the UK (as far as i can understand) before now, it was something inherent in ‘good’ design as a rule regardless of whether you worked primarily in print, digital, web etc. But as the digital world takes over as people’s primary means of interaction with services and products the need for people highly competent in user centric design has become a business necessity.
But it’s still hard to stand-out as a different kind of breed. No longer the Photoshop/Fireworks/Illustrator/Notepad++ slave we UX/Ui designers push past ‘making a text change here’ or a ‘radio buttons there’ copy. paste. done. scenario. We use our insight into user behaviour and design practice to ask the questions ‘ok, how much do we want to help the user here’ or ‘what might they get stuck on here’ and ‘where does the user go from here and how can we make that clearer’.
Relying on existing knowledge of a long serving product might be all well and good for those users that have been using the product for years, had extensive product training and are ‘used to’ an ‘industry standard’ but how are the newcomers going to fair? as consumer products develop and change their UX/UI how will this continue to stack up? as the world become ever more globalised how will this translate across language and usage barriers?
Just because somethings worked well for a period of time, even a long period of time doesn’t mean it will always work well. Keep asking questions. Keep developing and testing new theories and never settle just because use/time=standard.
“But we already do that part way better than our competitor(s) so why should we spend time on making it better?”
This is one of the hardest business cases to put forward, spend time and money developing something when it’s already considered ‘better than the competition’. The question i would pose to this is “What is our aim here? to make our competition sweat and get a ‘one-up’ on them? or to empower our users with our product and help them to use our product in the best and easiest way it can be?”.
Regardless of your position in the marketplace i believe as a UX/UI designer there is a duty to users to push for innovation. To make the product the best it can be continuously, relentlessly because having a good product is good but having a great product is great. There’s always new technological advances on the horizon. Speculation and prediction of the industry and marketplace is your ally. Use these to inform the future of your products and ensure your existence in decades to come.
As a side note on this, you never know what the competition is secretly cooking up until you stumble across a live A/B test or something of the same ilk and by then it’s pretty late in the day.
“The Dev’s won’t understand unless you spell it out for them”
This is a huge dis-service to back-end and front-end devs. If there is a gap in knowledge from taking a mock up design to fully coded product then train them or equip them with a comprehensive style guide as a matter of urgency.
Dev’s are on the whole, not lazy, not dumb and not visually challenged. They have just as much valid input on user experience and how the back end speaks to the front end and how best this can work with your user friendly designs. Dev’s are friends, not there to facilitate your ‘Design masterpieces’.

Attending a dinner with a German friend last night reminded me of from what Europe has recovered in his lifetime. He recounted childhood memories of 1945.
“My father was away in the army somewhere. Perhaps in France? We did not know. My mother was trying to run the hotel.
Our village had been granted a charter as a town in medieval times, but was really no more than a village.
One day a tide of people came through the streets: thousands and thousands of them from East Prussia and other places. A huge wave of refugees, walking, tired and exhausted. They had nothing and nowhere to go.
My mother let two hundred of them come into the hotel. Some were just happy to lie on the ballroom floor; there was no other space. People just lay down.
There was an old Catholic priest amongst them, trying to look after them. We lived in a Protestant village, there were only three Catholic families. We would have gone to Mass in the next village; it was a five kilometres walk.
The Protestant pastor in our village offered his church for the priest to use to conduct Mass for his congregation of refugees. The refugees remained, the Russians had conquered the East and no-one wanted to go to live under Communist rule. In seven years, the Catholics had gathered enough money to build a church”.
The new church in that village would have been symbolic of the determination of ordinary Germans to rebuild their country, in many cases, literally from the ashes. In twenty years, the country was transformed; Germany became a byword for prosperity and efficiency. Growing up in England in the 1960s and 1970s, Germany was a place at which we looked with envy.
My friend could give lessons to news journalists on what it means for things to be really bad; on what economic collapse really means. Every morning the news is filled with another catalogue of gloom, yet not one sentence of it comes near the trauma of that tide of displaced humanity.
No-one living in Germany in the 1940s could have imagined what would be achieved by the Federal Republic by the 1960s. Would it be beyond the wit of political leaders now, to engage in the odd history lesson; to say that this is not the end of the world and that with a bit of hard work and enterprise, we shall turn things around?
I suggested jokingly to a friend last week that if all else failed, we might write to Angela Merkel and ask if Ireland might join the list of German Länder – North Rhine-Westphalia would be our nearest neighbour. We would have sound government and people who, having rebuilt from ruins, would know how to go up from a downturn.

Created an account for wife and initiated sharing. My account states sharing is pending on each hardware item.
Wife’s account does not show “pending share invitations” per below copy/pasted instructions.
So we are stuck since the invitations are not visible to accept in her account.
Any advice is appreciated.
If you are the shared user, you can accept the shared camera by going to the Account tab to view pending share invitations. Once you’ve accepted the share, You’ll notice a little tag in the Devices tab telling you the username of the person that shared the Wyze Camera with you.
