"Super personalised tour. Excellent." – We booked a 6 hour tour on our second trip to HK. On the first tip we hit all the big tourist hot spots so this time around we wanted to do something a bit different. Jessie was our guide. It was a thorough 6 hours with a lot of information that you just can't find in the tour books and guides, and unlike some of the Lonely Planet guides who are paid to take you to specific locations, Jessie tailored our tour for us on-the-fly.
"Very enjoyable tour! Highly recommend!" – We left it up to Jessie to plan an itinerary based on our areas of interest. Jessie had a broad knowledge across many topics and had no trouble answering our questions about Government; HK life (new and old); traditional food and customs. …She was very friendly and talkative and we felt very relaxed and safe in her company. Thank you for taking such good care of us and showing us your Hong Kong.
"Fantastic walking tour of HongKong and surrounding" – I had a very long layover in HongKong and … decided to book a 4 hour walking tour with NextStopHongkong. My tour guide was Jessie and she was a great help even before I arrived … Just had a great time. Jessie was very informative and I had a great trip. She did a really nice job of responding to what I wanted. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.
"Awesome tour – Jessie is the best" – I had few hours in HK and I decided to go out of the airport and get a bite of this fascinating city! I was lucky to plan a tour with Next Stop Hong Kong: Jessie took me around and showed many parts of the city, focusing on the things I was interested more. A very well guided tour, tailored according to my preferences and well built around the less time I had. Definitely a worthy experience.
"Fantastic One-Day Tour!" – I booked a day tour with Next Stop Hong Kong, which was one of the best decisions. The service was from the start excellent. What a day! I couldn't have asked for more. Jessie introduced me to local customs, excellent food and a great mix of sightseeing attractions on and off-the-beaten paths. The tour was the highlight of my Hong Kong stay. Highly recommended to anyone!!!
"Didn't want it to end" – I am so glad I took a tour with Next Stop HK. Jessie's email responses were so informative and thoughtful. On the day of the tour I was immediately at ease with her. It was like having a friend show you around. She gave me so much information about everything. I highly, highly recommend NSHK. Book the 8 hour tour – it is a great value and made all the difference in my trip to Hong Kong.

In February 2019, DBS Support Group featured a presentation by Deborah Nin, MA, CCC-SLP, a Speech-language pathologist at the Parkinson's Institute (PI). As the PI waits for new offices to be built, the PI, formerly in Sunnyvale is now in Mountain View near El Camino Hospital.
Nin gave us an introduction to some voice exercises familiar to her clients. We tried to use shouting effort to achieve conversational loudness saying "Ah" with mouths wide open. We did an "Ah" glide where we stepped up our vocal register, as if we were singing falsetto. You might call it a "Barry Gibbs" maneuver.
Nin conducts one-on-one assessment sessions to evaluate each patient's current level of functioning with patient's individual's goals. To get an appointment with a speech therapist, you first get a referral from your doctor. You may also want to see an Ear, Nose Throat doctor (ENT) before you visit the speech pathologist to make sure that you don't have issues with your throat. Prior to going to a speech therapist, your dental checkup should be up to date because oral hygiene is important for healthy swallowing function. Teeth should be in good repair for chewing and establishing good oral hygiene. Your dentist may provide tips to combat dry mouth (xerostomia) that is common with polypharmacy, the side effects of taking multiple medications.
Nin assembles a voice handicap index to see where her clients are in speech and how they compare with other people. After she has completed a thorough assessment, she suggests a treatment plan.
Nin is a nationally recognized member of the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in the state of California as a speech-language pathologist. She holds a master's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders (MA) from the University of Central Florida and a bachelor's degree in CSD from the University of Florida. Her experience includes skilled nursing rehabilitation for short-term and long-term patient care. She facilitates the PD Choir with Paul Price on the first Thursdays of the month.
Nin is certified to provide therapy for patients with Parkinson's Disease with the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment LOUD program. She co-facilitates the Parkinson's Disease Self Efficacy Learning Forum, California's first skills workshop for people newly diagnosed with PD and their care partners.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery has left me with pronunciation issues. My chief word terror is "community." I have panic attacks trying to negotiate how I'm going to pronounce the lovely word of fellowship.
I identified with one of Nin's experiences involving a patient who had trouble pronouncing polysyllabic words. Nin worked with him through several improvement techniques including tapping out the syllables as he spoke the syllables.
Stumbling over a word like "community" isn't the only speech problem that challenges people with Parkinson's. Nin participates in continuing education specializing in swallowing, voice, aphasia, and other courses.
Whether you have slurred speech, breathy harsh voice, intonation, pronunciation, or swallowing problems, its's a relief to hear Deborah Nin say, "Regardless of why you have a speech problem, there's a therapy to treat it!"
Contact Deborah Nin at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone her at (650)770-0201, and fax at (650) 770-0204.

Kent Bishop resides in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, where he was born. He has four children: two girls, two boys, and six grandchildren. He is a graduate of Duke University (A.B. with Distinction in Economics) and Harvard Law School (J.D.) where he cross-registered into Harvard Business School. He is a member of the Bar of the United States Supreme Court. He plays the piano, runs, bikes and swims weekly. After second year of law school he was employed by Shell International Petroleum Co., Ltd. in London. His time abroad peaked his initial interest in researching his family's Anglo-Saxon descent from Domesday ancestors. In 2014, he spent two months in the English East Midlands, home of his Saxon ancestors, visiting friends, relatives, historians, former business associates, and historical sites. He returned in 2018 for two weeks.
An extremely valuable hoard of gold and silver coins and religious treasure is dug up in the ancient East Midlands village of Harpole, Northamptonshire on property now owned by a female Shell Oil Company lawyer. No coin is dated later than King Edward the Confessor's reign (1042-1066). News reports go worldwide. A direct patrilineal descendant of the Saxon village owner, an American, makes claim to the hoard. Unwilling to allow such a large amount of treasure to be exported from the United Kingdom, particularly after Brexit, the British Crown in retaliation files a claim to the hoard on the ground that William the Conqueror validly confiscated the entire village after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England file claims to the religious objects in the hoard. Litigation ensues. Notwithstanding the drama surrounding them, the female landowner and the American gradually find themselves falling in love – due to shared interests – despite their conflicting interests in the hoard.
Having resolved his claim to the pre-1066 Harpole Hoard (Doomsday Revenge), the American makes demand on the British Crown for compensation for William the Conqueror's confiscation of his Saxon ancestor's six villages in southern Northamptonshire. The demand is for the present proportionate value of the properties – worth over 400 million pounds sterling. The Crown rebuts that the fair market value in 1086, as stated in the Great Domesday Book, would be 14 million pounds sterling today, but in any event William's right of conquest eliminated the claim. Furthermore, the Crown perceives this demand as a financial threat to the country in leaving the European Union. The Crown dispatches MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service) with instructions to thwart the litigation. The American's demand denied and person imperiled, he nevertheless files suit in the High Court of Justice. Numerous claimants seek intervention. Throughout this process and its strains on their relationship the American and the female Shell Oil lawyer draw ever closer.

Coffee and Cacao one time
Coffee and chocolate have a lot in common: they are grown in many of the same places, the harvested fruit is fermented, roasting plays an important part in the preparation, and high quality examples exhibit attributes derived from both terroir and process. Best of all, they taste delicious, make you feel good, and go great together.
This is a box containing one bag of our single origin coffee–whatever we're digging most–and two unique and tasty single origin bars of chocolate from two different premier makers in North America. Bars will be the maker's full size bar (usually between 2-3 ounces), and most retail from 8 to 12 dollars. We ship this anywhere in the country for $4.50.
Makes a pretty sweet gift!

An essential attribute in any family setup ought to be good health. The presence of chronically or terminally ill patients remains to be a major stress factor in many families. It sucks the life out of many family members as they continuously undergo the psychological stress arising from the fear of losing a loved one. Families are constantly encouraged to hire a family physician who is to be tasked with the role of guiding them on the importance and ways of observing healthy practices.
Regular checkups
Family units are encouraged to adopt regular health checkups. There are numerous licensed family physicians in West Jordan that families may hire. Family physicians differ to a small extent from ordinary doctors in terms of their specialty, which enables them to tender to all members of a family, from children to seniors. The physicians possess relevant skills sufficient to provide comprehensive health care to all members of a family over a long time. Family physicians are able to keep a detailed record of the health and statuses of all their clients, which enables them to make considerably early detection of possible changes in their clients' health statuses. The package may also cover mental health issues that have become a critical matter in modern times.
Team building
This is essential in fostering rapport between people. It holds even when dealing with family members. Sometimes, family members are so overwhelmed in pursuing their dreams and goals that they find little or no time to interact with each other. That is especially true for advanced families where the children have grown old enough to move out of their parents' houses. Team building provides exciting activities through which such family members can converge and catch up on each other's progress. Other than that, team building provides an environment where conflicting family members can resolve their differences. Besides family-related issues, team building involves undertaking challenging tasks that offer the much-needed exercise to the body.
Proper diet
Parents bear the most responsibility as far as proper diet around their homes is concerned. It is essential for guardians to educate their kids on the importance of consuming healthy diets alongside providing them with such. Healthy food ensures that children develop a healthy body that tends to boost their resistance to diseases. As the breadwinner, strive to ensure that fast food is not common in the house, unless on special occasions. Overconsumption of fast food has been attributed to diseases and conditions such as obesity and diabetes. A balanced diet ought to be accompanied by the regular intake of water. It is essential not only for the proper hydration of the body; it also plays other roles essential to the body's performance.
The well-being of all members of a family is essential. That is not only from a psychological aspect but also from a financial one. It saves a family the hassle of raising medical funds to take care of a sick loved one. That is especially true in the case of chronic illnesses.

Here is another decrepit building that I find fascinating. So much of our history is falling apart, not being maintained and not being restored. I'm sure that many people think we should let it go in order to make room for the new. I guess I'm getting more nostalgic as I grow older.
Right now I'm listening to Duke Ellington & his orchestra playing Take The 'A' Train, a live recording from the late 50's or early 60's. It was on a vinyl album I bought when I was in the army, stationed in Germany. The album was title Horizons du Jazz and was a compilation album of live recordings by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis. I bought a number of albums while I was stationed in Heidelberg. Some had liner notes that were in German, so I have no idea what they said. Liner notes are another thing that have pretty much gone the way of wooden barns, and that's another shame.
On a more positive note, it is a beautiful day outside. I may even do some yard work, but no promises. Time seems to have a way of slipping away during the day. I mark it as a good sign that I'm getting the blog written earlier in the day. perhaps I can complete it before 12:30. I'll definitely finish before I have lunch. After that, the afternoon is open. The only other thing on the schedule is cooking dinner, and unless I make a last-minute change, I have an idea for a new menu item. I love trying new things in the kitchen. If it turns out alright, I'll put the recipe in tomorrow. If it isn't so good, expect a different topic.
Wow, it looks like I'm done before noon!

text: I'm a mite disappointed to say that the welcoming mat in our gaff wasn't disturbed by the dropping of a 7-inch platter from Snails, sadly so limited in nature they flew the coup before we'd scarcely had time to send a well scripted begging letter. Alas we are at this moment consoling a rather distressed turntable whilst mournfully looking at the gap in the record collection we'd lovingly made up in readiness for its safe arrival. Enough of the upset, a new thing from Snails, loveliness aplenty wrapped up in a four track EP. Snails you may recall ventured out with a killer 7 inch some two years ago via the sadly at rest Great Pop Supplement, an album of limited pressing followed on Feral Child earlier this year, they all went in a blink. Bristol based, these shy eyed souls occupy and hark back to a sonic world of fragile simplicity, tailoring pop morsels intimately coded in wide eyed innocence. The sounds whilst not hitting you between the eyes with all the gusto of a wakening slap rather more nestle to quietly demur and draw you close with their prettified perfection, their hushed effervescence an echo to the hopes and diarised reflections hatched from indie bedrooms and pressed upon grooves of platters by the likes of such esteemed label souls as Sarah, Bus Stop and Summershine. Irrefutably twinkled in a folk framing, Snails bring to their musical picnic distant elements of a 60's rush and the vague waft of kaleidoscopia, the former best served here by the brashly mod beat grooved strut of the parting 'my fault' seasoned aplenty in a cut you to the quick shimmering that had us fondly back in the slick psych gouged underworld of the Elephant 6 collective. Elsewhere there's the soft psyche whimsy of the adorably crooked 'dead star' waltzing woozily sprayed in a wonky sunny radiance while 'i'll stay close' weaves to a friskily mellowing carefree sunniness much recalling the tingling lo-fi charm of platters heading out at intermittent frequency from the matinee recordings sound house. That said, best by far here, the opening 'starting with mine' comes sumptuously grace fallen in the bitter sweet drizzle of the much missed Le Mans soured as it is and supported by the breeze swept forgotten arrangements of L'Augmentation whilst simultaneously subtly linking hands with the much adored Lake Ruth. Quite classy if you ask me. https://snails.bandcamp.com/album/our-third-7-starting-with-mine-ep

The first baby quilt was for Allison and John's new baby, Taylor. I had picked up a kit at The Quilt Kitchen in Exeter in the spring. I had to cut the striped fabric along the short side of the FQ's to make the stripes go across the strips instead of lengthwise. I did have more fabric of three of the stripes, and managed to make the fourth one work with leftover pieces. It love the way it turned out...happy 😀.
|The finished quilt
|I quilted this one with diagonal lines along the seams
|Found a Tula Pink backing for it which had all the colours in it.
The second quilt was the last of the One Block Wonder quilts using the Dr. Suess book panel. The other two quilts can be seen here and here. This one was for Leda and Mike's baby, Colton. Leda can read Spanish so I managed to find "Green Eggs and Ham" in Spanish to add to the gift.

Over 100 cases of salmonella poisoning from UK eggs in last three years
Dozens of people have been poisoned after eating British eggs contaminated with one of the most dangerous forms of salmonella.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism revealed this shocking state of affairs on September 20th 2019. According to the Agency there has been 100 cases over the last three years. 45 of these are from a serious outbreak in January 2019. Health officials traced this outbreak back to contaminated eggs and poultry farms.
The government's food safety watchdog, the Food Standards Agency (FSA), had issued assurances in 2017 that it was safe to east raw or lightly cooked eggs that bore the British Lion stamp. The government has failed to issue any public warnings since then. This is despite 25 flocks testing positive for salmonella this year, seven of them with dangerous strains. Two egg packing factories, one of which supplies leading supermarkets, have also been contaminated. The 2019 results are not isolated and the situation seems to be getting worse. In 2018 28 flocks tested positive, four of them with dangerous strains.
Public Health England (PHE) told the investigation that it had been investigating this situation for three years.
The Bureau said: "This means that PHE knew of poisoning cases even as the FSA declared that almost all eggs produced in the UK were free of salmonella, and that it was safe once again for those vulnerable to infection to eat raw eggs."
If you or anyone you know thinks you may have salmonella it is essential to see a doctor as soon as possible. You should also inform the Environmental Health Office so that they can take appropriate action.
If you have got salmonella from eating take away or restaurant food you should seek advice from a qualified solicitor. You may have a case for making a claim for compensation. We are experts on all types of food poisoning claims.
Please see our article on how to claim for salmonella food poisoning
Here is the original article from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism

Number 923 - David Gilmour
Number 923
David Gilmour
Imagine Pink Floyd doing a "Unplugged MTV Special"? Well this is the closest your gonna get so enjoy it.
"David Gilmour released his second solo venture in 1984, following the apparent dissolution of Pink Floyd. He had released a record on his own in 1978, but About Face is much more accessible. Gilmour has a stellar band backing him, including Jeff Porcaro (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), and Anne Dudley (synthesizer). The songs on About Face show a pop sensibility that Pink Floyd rarely was concerned with achieving. Although the album didn't attract the attention of a Floyd release, several cuts did manage to get airplay. "Until We Sleep" is rife with shimmering synthesizers and cavernous drums, and "Blue Light" was a minor pop hit, with Gilmour's trademark delay-drenched guitar giving way to a driving, horn-laced rocker. Pete Townshend wrote two of the tracks: "Love on the Air" and the propulsive "All Lovers Are Deranged." Of course, there's more than enough of Gilmour's fluid guitar playing to satisfy, including the gorgeous "Murder," a gentle acoustic track that explodes with some fiery organ by Steve Winwood and concludes with a fierce coda. About Face is well-honed rock album that is riveting from beginning to end". ~ Tom Demalon
I am the lucky owner of a "Pink Floyd Pulse DVD" Whoopee you say, but Whoopee it is. I listened to Gilmour closely, and it is no wonder he is one of the "Great 20th Century Guitarists of all time", he is the sound of Pink Floyd. One day you will play a Pink Floyd song to your Grandchildren and you will be proud of the fact that they were a part of your generation.
For Steve Winwood see Number 622
For Pink Floyd see Number 497 & MM vol 1 #138

The Governor's Residence in Tranquebar
The House and the Daily Life of Its People, 1750-1845
Edited by Esther Fihl
Museum Tusculanum Press 2017
The history of contacts between India and Europe tends to be dominated by the British, but Denmark also played a role on the subcontinent in the colonial era. This book offers insight into that history via a close look at one very specific part of it: the house in which the Danish colonial governor lived in Tranquebar, on the Coromandel Coast. We meet the governors and their Indian staffs and see their interactions with traders, temple priests, and princely delegates. With the help of hundreds of illustrations from the period, the resulting book is a fascinating portrait of the vibrantly multicultural life of a small colonial outpost in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

An expert witness is an individual who is considered to be authority on a specific subject. These qualifications usually include having the education, experience, knowledge, and specialized training, to offer an opinion on a matter.
Expert witnesses can serve on a case in different capacities. Generally, the expert can be a testifying or consulting expert or both. A testifying expert is an individual who will testify and provide the court or jury with information about a subject matter. A consulting expert does not testify, but is typically brought in to help explain information which helps the attorney understand an issue.
If an expert is testifying the opposing side can find out who they are and what information they used to develop their opinion. However, when the expert is purely consulting, the other party is not entitled to information about them.
An expert witnesses are ordinarily professional who can help the attorney, judge or jury comprehend a complicated or disputed issue in a lawsuit. In a personal injury case, a witness could be an accident reconstruction expert who can state what happened during a crash and who was responsible for the collision. Another expert could be a mental health professional who treated the victim for emotional distress following the accident and can attest to his or her pain and suffering. A medical doctor could discuss a patient's physical injuries and his or her prognosis and likelihood of being able to work or regain their ability to function fully.
While both parties will present evidence to support their positions, an expert can help the factfinder better understand the information and your proof. Further, when an expert is well qualified and can support his or her opinion, they add credibility and strength to your position. Additionally, because some damages, such as pain and suffering or loss of function, are subjective they can be difficult to quantify. An expert can help create a sense of what the victim has endured which may assist the factfinder in accurately and fairly calculating the damage.
At the Draper Firm, we understand the importance of having the right experts on your side and can help you support your claims. If you have been injured due to another's negligence contact us today to speak with an experienced personal attorney, who can help you build your case and get the compensation you deserve.

ARLINGTON - Adrian Beltre understands. The business of baseball can be cold-blooded. One day, you are being toasted for making history and the next you may simply be history.
He also understands this: He's going to be 39 next year, in the last year of a contract, heading towards the twilight of his career and he is solely focused on last accomplishment in his Hall of Fame career.
A World Series championship.
So, if the Rangers' decision to trade Yu Darvish Monday is the start of a full-scale rebuild that's going to extend into 2018, with all due respect, it might not be the best place for him to finish out his career. Or even this contract.
"Yes, it absolutely would change my mind," Beltre said Tuesday before the Rangers hit three long home runs and still lost 8-7 to Seattle. "At this stage of my career, I'm not here for a rebuild. But I don't think it will be. I think there is a possibility of this team playing better this year. I'm still focused on this year and don't want to think about it right now, but it would change things for me."
General manager Jon Daniels said bluntly Tuesday that Beltre need not worry.
"I don't look at it that way at all," he said of embarking on an extended rebuilding process.
The Rangers won't say this season is done, even if all the evidence suggests it is. Contenders don't trade away aces and front-line catchers at the deadline. They add pieces. The Rangers added prospects. As of Tuesday morning, fangraphs.com, which charts playoff odds, had the Rangers with just a 4.8 percent chance of reaching the postseason. That's down from 26 percent just two weeks ago.
After this season, the Rangers will have to fill three spots in the starting rotation, find a center fielder, and potentially either a first baseman or left fielder. And we haven't even begun to discuss the bullpen.
There is a lot of work to be done.
It will either mean spending a lot of money in free agency or getting really creative with trades. Like finding trade partners despite having little to no collateral to trade.
Beltre reached 3,000 hits on Sunday, crossed 2,800 career games (including postseason) Tuesday. Barring the most miraculous of comebacks, he'll finish this year on the cusp of the top 20 in all-time games. There are seven players in the top 20 who never won a World Series.
Beltre does not want to become the eighth.
In his 19-year career, Beltre has reached the postseason five times, four of them with the Rangers. Only once has his team advanced at least one round, that being in 2011 with the Rangers, which ended with that painful World Series.
He also understands his time in the game is short and wants one more chance at winning a championship. In part, that's why he participated in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic this spring: To have one last chance to win a championship while representing his country.
The Rangers did not seriously entertain trading Beltre at the deadline, but there would have been interest. Boston is sorely in need of an upgrade at third base. The Rangers likely wouldn't entertain trading him this winter of their own volition. He has full ability to veto any trade, but it's unclear how the Rangers would react if he asked to be traded to a team that would have a shot at contending if the Rangers decide they need another year or more of growth.
For now, Beltre still believes in this team's ability to make a run and expects the Rangers will retool for 2018. When Daniels announced the Darvish trade Monday, he didn't indicate the Rangers planned to go through a major rebuild in the way the team did when it traded Mark Teixeira in 2007.
"We're not pleased with the trade," Beltre said. "I don't think we are completely sold on the situation being [hopeless] for this year. It was a tough a situation. I know he's going to be a free agent and they were trying to get something. I try to understand the business side of it and I understand what they are doing, but the on the baseball side you are not happy. That doesn't matter. That's not going to change our mentality."
What happens after the season, though, might change his.

Why You Must Vote
Evolution is not a scientifically proven theory. In fact, it both defies the definition of the scientific process and has nothing to support it in the fossil record. Yet it is being taught to our school children and flaunted as truth by knowledgeable intellectuals across America.
Sir Julian Huxley, grandnephew of Darwin's closest and chief associate, answered this question in an honest and accurate way, despite the fact he was a world-renowned evolutionist. While doing a television interview in 1980, he was asked, "Why do you suppose evolutionary theory was so widely embraced?" He thought for a moment and then said, "I suppose we all jumped on the bandwagon because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores." (Mores is another way of saying the customs of a society, whether they be good or bad.)
He hit the nail on the head. Mankind—and in particular, man without God—doesn't want to be accountable to a divine authority, so when presented with an intellectual solution to the problem, they grabbed hold of it, particularly because it appeared to discredit the Bible, the source of truth regarding the creation of man. This was how they could avoid accountability to a divine authority and do what they wanted to do.
The big question is: can we do anything about this?
Yes. First, we can be more knowledgeable about why evolution is a joke. We can be knowledgeable enough about its fallacies to, at the least, instruct our children about the deception of evolution and the truth of creation. (If you missed my recent message on evolution and its fallacies, you can watch it at lwcc.org.)
Second, we can pray the Lord would diminish the influence of those who promote evolution and give us a better platform to promote the truth of God's Word. Part of this step involves us being active in arenas where we might affect whether or not our children are taught these things.
Take, for example, our public school systems. They are run by school boards where individuals are voted in and out of office. Most of us, though, don't even think about going and voting for a member of the school board. We complain about what our kids are getting taught in school, but we won't even go to the polling place. What a shame! We need to be a part of the voting process.
Another consideration is that God may need some of you to run for office. Jobs on the school board may not appear to be a "major" election, but those positions do have a major impact on the educational system in this country and the training and education of the next generation. God needs Christians who will stand for the truth of God's Word working within our educational system.
With all of this in mind, I want to remind you that midterm elections are a week away. I highly encourage you to take time to research the races on your ballot. Evolution is just one example of how our nation has been impacted by people not raising their voices for God's Word. Learn what each candidate stands for. Dare to consider making a difference by bringing your voice to the political world. Go to the polling places and vote for those people whose principles are most closely aligned with the Word of God.
One response to "Why You Must Vote"
Shirley Tuttle says :
Thank you for sharing this information Pastor Mac. This should not be taught for the reason it has no basis at all. It is a waste to the little minds. Pastor Mac. What can we do to get this out of schools? How to we get public awareness; I bet many parents do not know about. A panel of people should not be the only ones who gets to decide this factor, taxpaying parents should. I pray that God will assemble his people to stop this. The enemy will not rest nor should we!!

The Origins Awards were originally presented at the very first Origins Game Fair in Baltimore in 1975. The purpose of the awards is to recognize excellence in game design, and increase awareness and sales for the nominees, winners, the Origins convention, and hobby games in general.
Any publisher or designer can submit their products for consideration during the eligibility period. Submissions in each category are evaluated by a jury of industry professionals who choose their top products. These become the nominees, which are sent to the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design (AAGAD). The Academy places their votes by email and the winners are announced during the Awards ceremony.
The top five nominees in each category will be announced during GAMA Expo, March 9-12, 2020. On Thursday, March 12, we will host the Origins Awards Showcase from 8pm-11pm where all GAMA Expo attendees will be welcome to demo the final nominees and familiarize themselves with the titles.
Post-show, we will send a poll out to the entire Academy, including the Hall of Fame, who will determine their top selection from the finalists in each category. The Game of the Year will also be awarded, but this will be voted upon by all active GAMA members. They will choose their single preferred title from amongst all the nominees in the physical game categories.
Origins Game Fair attendees will be able to cast their votes for the Fan Favorite in each category via the mobile app launching in 2020. While the new mobile app removes the need for a voting booth, we will have an area for attendees to peruse the nominated titles. To that end, we will be displaying the final nominees in one of the most highly-trafficked areas of the convention center - the foyer at the foot of the escalators leading from the Hyatt. Here, we will create a walk-through gallery with the oversized Callie statue encircled by glass displays housing the final nominees. To help promote engagement with the publishers, we will have an info card in front of each title indicating the booth number where attendees can purchase and/or demo the title.
There will continue to be an Origins Awards Showcase area where attendees will be able to play the finalists in the Board Game, Card Game, Family Game, and Historical Game categories. A library of the final nominees will be available and attendees can enjoy playing on luxury Game Toppers for an elevated gaming experience.
Winners will be announced at the 46th Annual Origins Awards, on Saturday, June 20 from 8-9pm. Both winning and nominated companies will receive a digital seal to use in marketing efforts at no cost. However, winners will be promoted on social media, and featured in GAMA's quarterly trade magazine Around the Table.
For more information, please visit the AAGAD website.

You have a great business and are great at what you do but communicating about it when you write or speak is daunting! You're not sure about how many commas you should use and where they should be placed in a sentence on your social media. You hate giving your elevator pitch because everyone else's sounds so professional and yours doesn't. You're afraid to speak in front of audiences and freaked out about how to go about writing a speech. You hate networking because it seems pointless and doesn't lead to business.
All of these things are holding you back from growing your business, taking it to the next level and really seeing results in your bottom line. Write.On Communication's workshops ensure that you'll say the right things to the right people in the right ways at the right times.
Each two and a half hour workshop will maximize interaction and generate maximum content, using Zoom. In your own space – work or home – on your laptop, tablet or phone, a limit of six participants will complete each live session with the right words to grow your business now. Live participation will ensure immediate feedback from other participants and facilitator Jill Ellis-Worthington. Recorded sessions also will be available for later reference and/or if you're not able to make each live session.
Workshop 1: Who, what, why, when, where?
Strategic Communication Planning – this is where we discover the answers to these and other questions: What is the right approach for your target market? The language you use to reach an audience in the construction field is not the same as how you speak or write for those who work in healthcare. Who needs your product and how should you approach them? What are the most effective platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and media (local newspaper, national magazines) for you and your business to gain attention?
Take away: you'll have a comprehensive strategic communications plan at the end of the session to use in creating and executing content for your website, social media and blogs.
Workshop 2: Write right
It's not your fault that you misuse your and you're; that you don't know the difference between their, they're and there; that commas are a mystery and semicolons are scary. There's no faster way to look unprofessional than making a glaring grammatical gaffe on a Facebook post; nothing looks worse than spelling a word wrong on a piece of business correspondence. Spelling, grammar and punctuation aren't taught in schools any more but you need to know them to write right.
Take away: You'll leave with the confidence to write using better grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Workshop 3: Blog like a big dog
Everyone says you need to blog, blog, blog – but you hate to write. What will you write about? What will your readers want to read? How will you make your blog the one that gets read among a sea of others floating in cyberspace? You have some good ideas but you don't know how to get them out of your head and onto the paper or screen. Learn how to write blogs that get attention and convert social media 'friends' into fans and fans into paying customers/clients.
Take away: you'll leave with ways to get reader attention and stand out in the ocean of blogs; you'll have a list of blog topics to execute on and you'll write one blog entry (or more) to post immediately.
Workshop 4: Shine when the spotlight shines on you
The Dos and Don'ts of media relations – getting media attention is harder and harder as outlets drain resources and numbers of reporters, journalists, editors and photographers dwindle. BUT it's a key way to gain customer attention and credibility with potential clients.
Take away: You'll leave with a pitch for a story idea to interest the media in your company and a media release.
Workshop 5: Pitch perfect
Become a networking ninja – with a pitch, a path and a plan you'll be in control and building relationships at networking events. Customers want to buy from you when they know you but effective networking is more than just showing up. Strategic networking makes the most of your time and what's more important than that.
Take away: You'll leave with an elevator pitch (a brief self-introduction that makes people remember you), a path to networking success and a plan to get there.
Workshop 6: Powerful presentations
Speaking to audiences is the number one way to build your business. As the person in front of the room, you have instant credibility and every eye is on you. With this foolproof formula, you'll be a confident speaker and never will have to use notes again when you're on stage. You'll be a polished, powerful presenter.
Take away: You'll leave with a powerful lead to your speech, an outline for your talk and methods for presenting as a speaker.
Get your business communication moving in the right direction today!
Pricing: $995 (plus HST) for all six two-and-a-half hour workshops, paid in full before commencement of session.
Workshops are limited to six participants. Fee includes participation on Zoom and all learning materials.

alley oop, Dinny's Family Album, dinosaur, Fragments, golden age, Prehistoric Animals, prehistoric mammals, VT Hamlin
V.T. Hamlin included Dinny's Family Album, an educational dinosaur feature, in his Alley Oop strip for many years in the early 1930s. But alas, all good things must come to an extinction.
Hamlin subsequently ran a series about prehistoric man: "Fragment's of Man's Early History." It was a decent series, but let's face it: here on Mars we want prehistoric beasts! From 1938-1939, Fragments became "Fragments: Odds and Ends of Prehistoric Lore." NOW we're talking! Let's rock those dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, prehistoric birds, and other prehistoric animals.
Sadly, Fragments eventually got demoted from a huge single panel into a small strip at the bottom of the page called "Odds and Ends." It abandoned prehistory almost completely by the end of 1939, becoming a strip called "Science Says."
Today we will share with you our collection of images from Fragments: Odds and Ends of Prehistoric Lore. We're leaving out a few about human pre-history, because, well… DINOSAURS RULE! Enjoy!

Why not get your kids to put together a Summer Bucket List for the family? A list of things they want to experience, enjoy and achieve by the end of the holidays. A bucket list helps to narrow in on the things they want to do and it acts as a good reference at the end of the holidays when they can check back and see all the fun things they've done.
