Molded from real stones, but lighter weight, Ply Gem Stone is an affordable, easy way to add lasting curb appeal and character to your home or project's exterior or interior.
Layers of texture and color mimic the depth and beauty of a natural canyon, Canyon Ledge connects rustic comfort to artistic style. Carved from the landscape of a naturally worn and weathered ledge, this style adds native warmth to any setting.
This versatile style works well with all types of architecture, especially contemporary settings. A mix of ledge stones and cobble jumpers fit tightly together to create long, clean lines with a detailed face texture.
Restoring medieval charm, Castle Stone echoes the historical strength and glory from the castles of Scotland. Dignified and strong, this style is a stunning compliment that will make any setting unforgettable.
Brick veneer lends a stately appearance to exteriors and is a great way to accent windows and doors. Inside it adds warmth to kitchen walls and fireplaces. Available in a variety of thicknesses and colors, brick veneer is a popular alternative to traditional brick because of its lighter weight and lower cost.
This beautiful profile mirrors the classic look of rough-dressed stone. The chiseled face, rectangular shapes and irregular sizes create an old-world look and feel. Available in a variety of colors, the effect is elegant and timeless.
Fieldstone features random shapes with smooth to slightly rugged faces that fit together like a giant puzzle. The effect is an informal, natural look that's equally at home in traditional and contemporary settings. Considered a grouted stone, the mortar joint accentuates the uneven shapes of the stones.
Flat with a relatively smooth face, Ledgestone makes an ideal choice for dry-stack stonework. The randomly stacked stones add rustic charm to walls, fireplaces, living rooms, and porches — anywhere a natural look is desired.
This rustic style combines field and ledge stones with a smooth, split face. Varied shapes and sizes create a natural, organic look that works well in virtually any setting: interior or exterior, modern or traditional.
Ridgestone captures the nuances and magic of natural rock formation. The stones have the ridged, striated texture of sandstone or limestone. The rippled surface looks as if water has washed over it for millennia. A small percentage of irregular fieldstones are mixed with the horizontal shapes for a more natural look.
The smooth, round shapes of Riverstone exhibit a gentle, unpretentious character. They bring the outdoors indoors and make beautiful fireplaces. On the exterior, the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors creates a striking mosaic on walls and columns.
Molded from a Civil War fence-row, this profile has a craggy texture and warm earth tones that create an organic, rustic appearance.
To make installation easy, individual stacked stones are molded into panels of varying lengths. The result is a tight-fitting, dry-stacked style with a rugged texture. The stones have a natural, uncut look with projecting edges. True Stack makes adding dry stack style simple.
These rough irregularly shaped stones evoke the rustic charm of the Mediterranean countryside. Weathered and craggy, the stones impart an old-world beauty. When the joints are grouted, the stonework looks like it's been in place for generations.

Producer arrested in absentia in theater director embezzlement case
MOSCOW, September 28 (RAPSI, Yelizaveta Ponomareva) – The Basmanny District Court of Moscow has arrested producer Yekaterina Voronova in absentia as part of a 68-million-ruble ($1.1 million) embezzlement case involving the Gogol Center theater director Kirill Serebrennikov, the court's spokesperson Yunona Tsareva told RAPSI on Thursday.
Reportedly, Voronova was an executive producer of A Midsummer Night's Dream theater performance expected to be staged in framework of realization of the Platforma project. However, the performance has not been staged yet.
Serebrennikov was arrested in late August and then placed under house arrest. Investigators believe that he organized embezzlement of budget money. The defendant denied wrongdoing.
According to investigators, Serebrennikov developed the Platforma project for promotion of art in 2011 and received allocated funds of 214 million rubles (about $3.6 million) from the Ministry of Culture in 2011-2014.
Investigators claim that Serebrennikov created Seventh Studio stage company to actualize the project and invited former head of the company Yury Itin, ex- general producer Alexey Malobrodsky, and former chief accountant Nina Maslyayeva, among others, into organization.
Allegedly, Itin, Malobrodsky, and Maslyayeva were falsifying data for the Platforma project's plans in 2011-2014 on request of the theater director. This data was provided to the Ministry of Culture as the rationale for financing from the state budget.
Earlier, Maslyayeva has testified against Serebrennikov. She said that Serebrennikov, Malobrodsky and Itin organized embezzlement of money allocated for a cultural event. Serebrennikov and Malobrodsky cashed the money with the assistance of Maslyayeva. The woman also said that she entered falsified data in financial reports.
On May 23, police raided the Gogol Center as a part of investigation into the case. Searches have been also conducted in Serebrennikov's place of residence.

Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
An exquisite Japanese tea boutique for true tea devotees.
Jugetsudo is a Japanese teashop at Odéon, but you could easily mistake it for a high-end jewellery store (you have to ring a doorbell before gaining entry). Once inside, you're transported into a lush – and very zen – space furnished with bamboo and dark ceramics. Designed by architect Kengo Kuma, the Paris boutique is the first in the Jugetsudo chain to be opened outside Japan and the exceptional tea range is the sameas that sold in Tokyo branches: senchas (asa, tsuki and haru), gyokuros (including the divine karigane) and a genmaicha (tea mixed with grains of grilled rice). To neophytes, the prices will seem unaccountably steep – between €12 and €50 for 50 grams of the precious stuff – but a tea connoisseur knows that truly excellent Japanese tea can be quite pricey.
The shop also organises traditional Japanese tea ceremonies twice a month (€35 per person), as well as tastings several times a week (€40 per person), which also cover Japanese customs, tea preparation and history.

Devonshire Tea from 10am
UKARIA Cultural Centre, Mt Barker SA
Presented in association with UKARIA Cultural Centre
Drive through the glorious Adelaide Hills, following the fresh scent of eucalyptus and pine. You'll meander up a dirt road and watch the bush blend into vineyards before entering the natural gallery of UKARIA Cultural Centre's front garden.
Treat yourself to a delightful Devonshire Tea, with oven-warm scones as fresh as the day. Then, stroll into UKARIA's concert hall for a morning of exquisite quartet music set against a live montage of the maturing day before your eyes.
Claude Debussy's quest to liberate sensuality led a revolution in French musical identity. His String Quartet in G minor replaces rigid thematic structures with a free flow of colours, motifs and gestures. The vibrancy and energy for which Nigel Westlake is renowned make his eagerly-awaited new string quartet – a special commission by the ASQ – a splendid companion to that of the great French composer.
Claude Debussy (1862–1918)
String Quartet in G minor, Op.10
I. Animé et très decide
II. Assez vif et bien rythmé
III. Andantino, doucement expressif
IV. Très modéré – En animant peu à peu – Très mouvementé et avec passion
Nigel Westlake (b.1958)
String Quartet No.3* (Premiere Season)
*Commissioned by the ASQ with generous support from Carl Wood, and Don and Veronica Aldridge.

Group therapy for people that are not crazy.
What was it like to be part of a tribe?
Moving to a new place, everything was new. The start was hard.
This wasn't the way I had built relationships before. Very intense and intensive.
You spend all day with these people. a lot of people were in the same boat, coming from somewhere and finding themselves in a new place together.
What effect did it have on you?
I found it quite exhilarating to get to know these people so well so quickly.
It was this strange place where people were sharing personal stuff.
We found out things about each other that old friends wouldn't even come out to me about. It was unexpected. It was good, that especially had an effect on me. I felt a lot more comfortable in my skin.
What did you end up doing?
I had a strange experience, I floated around a little bit. I registered myself as a zzp-er and I went to work for Model Minds, a company started by fellow Knowmads.
I was working with them, as a do everything type person, making flyers for them and organizing things. Then after that I found a job at a bar, becoming very good at bartending.
After a year I moved back to England, to be back with my family. My dad was sick, so I was carrying a lot of baskets and making cups of tea.
Just this week I moved out to a little place in England with a friend of mine. We're turning a cafe into a tapas bar.
What kind of things you learned at Knowmads that you still benefit from now?
What I've learned at Knowmads has been quite handy, especially in the way that I interact with people.
It is the interpersonal stuff, listening to how people are talking and what is going on in the background.
I ended up doing business with more of a caring manner.
If someone is being very upset and angry, I think more about how to deal with that.
It's all about having some actual concern for someone. If the chef is throwing stuff around, it helps to sit down and ask them what's going on. Things seem to work out better.
This has been really useful within my company, speaking to the owner, speaking to my friend the chef. For everyone to try and have a much more honest conversation. Instead of getting angry with each other.
How would you describe Knowmads in one sentence?
How many commas's am I allowed to use?
When I was describing it casual to people offhand, I was saying to people: 'It's like group therapy for people that are not actually crazy enough.' You end up really close to each other.
My tribe especially was really about that. Two of my tribe members even ended up having a baby together!
We would sit around for hours at a time, discussing deepest and darkest fears.
Or how we would talk about we didn't care about some things.
Most of our day we spent having these challenging conversations.
We could've had meant to be working at something and it would just descend in a deep discussion on financial values and how we all felt about that.
It's hard to find people to have these conversations with.

Dwight Howard challenges Magic front office
Posted by By Eric Labrador at 13 December, at 18 : 59 PM Print
Dwight Howard needs practice at being a 'superstar'. As of now, based on the recent news on his comments concerning his status as a member of the Orlando Magic, he is all 'diva'. No, professional athletes are never concerned merely with winning when they make that comment in an interview. Now, athletes want to have total control over a team. Howard in his comments to the media today prove that: "I'm all about change." "If you're (Orlando) willing to change and do what it takes to win, then, you know, you've got me." "And if you're not willing to do what it takes to win, I don't think anybody here would question anybody's motives if you want to stay in the same position you are." The Magic front office has done nothing but 'do what it takes to win'. The moves they have made though, haven't worked out.
This is a franchise that only two years ago was in the NBA finals. The Magic have made the playoffs five years running (2007-present). The trade last year for Gilbert Arenas and Jason Richardson was viewed as a blockbuster at the moment to improve scoring around Howard. The Magic even got Hedo Turkgolu back from Toronto last year because of how much he was missed in the Orlando offense. The comments made by Dwight Howard are nothing short of ungrateful. The new collective bargaining agreement can't hide how much owners and players, even the NBA itself, have a convoluted and distorted point of view on professional basketball. Based on the attitudes of Howard and Chris Paul and not to forget 'The Decision' (circus) last year of Lebron James, the players share every bit of fault as to the problems they listed early this year during the lockout.

There are many side effects of having Celiac disease, but one of the lesser-known sufferings is migraine headaches. In a recent study, researchers determined that sufferers of Celiac disease and those with a gluten sensitivity are more likely to have migraine headaches than those who don't have either of the conditions. Read on to learn more about the study and what researchers have to say about a gluten-free diet as a way to fend off migraines:
About the study relating Celiac disease to migraine headaches –
According to the study, 30% of all patients with Celiac disease reported experiencing chronic headaches and 56% of those with gluten sensitivity reported the same. Although there were more people with gluten sensitivity reporting chronic migraine occurrence, the severity was opposite. Among those who said they suffered headaches often, 72% of those with Celiac disease graded them as severe, while 60% of those with gluten sensitivity also said theirs were severe in intensity.
Did switching to a gluten-free diet reduce migraine headaches?
The study did conclude a certain decrease in the amount or intensity of headaches that patients experienced when they switched to a gluten-free diet. However, many patients did report positive results. Although more studies would be necessary in order to determine if a gluten-free diet could work to reduce the frequency and pain of migraines in those who do not suffer from either of these conditions, doctors say it can't hurt. Since many people opt for gluten-free diets without harm, regardless of whether or not they have a gluten sensitivity, it might be a diet to consider for those who suffer migraines frequently. For those who suffer migraines often, it is common to try a variety of home remedies – anything to help prevent or relieve the pain. A gluten-free diet is one possibility that could potentially have an effect on the frequency of migraine headaches.
Future studies may be possible –
Given the connection between migraines and gluten sensitivity in this study, it is possible that in the future, those who suffer migraines may be tested for this type of sensitivity or other related conditions. In addition, there may be studies performed on whether a gluten free diet can help those who suffer migraines but do not have Celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.
Thanks for reading our blog! If you opt for a gluten free diet in order to combat migraine headaches, visit us at Linda's Diet Delites to find a wide selection of foods to suit your needs.

At an Amazon store near you…A Bit About Britain's History will be released as an e-book on 23 August and, hopefully at roughly the same time, a paperback too. The e-book is available for pre-order now for less than the price of a pint; and, really, that's not too bad, is it? In fact, if you drink wine by the glass it's an absolute bargain. The paperback will, inevitably, cost a little more; but will provide you with a tangible treasure to be cherished forever. And it will probably still be cheaper than a glass of wine in many pubs.
From what I can make out (and I'm feeling my way with all this publishing stuff), the e-book version of A Bit About Britain's History is available via Amazon's UK, US, Australian, Canadian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Indian, Japanese, Brazilian and Mexican sites. The paperback will be available only via Amazon in the UK, US, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Japan. Sorry about that…
So what's it all about?
"The past is us. It was also so totally different from anything you have experienced."
When A Bit About Britain was created, first as a hesitant blog, then as a slightly more ambitious website, it was clear that some historical background was needed. If you're visiting a castle, stately home, monument, or whatever, knowing a bit about the history helps put everything in context. Events, people and places come more alive, you start seeing how they all join up and, maybe, get a glimpse of the twisted path behind that brought us to where we are.
So a few articles about British history were tentatively written for the website. Timelines were added. Every now and again, bits have been updated. Put them all together in a single volume and you've got A Bit About Britain's History – a brief, distinctly unacademic and occasionally quirky introduction to Britain's story. It's quite a tale, from footsteps across a land that is now under the sea to the digital age.
Maybe A Bit About Britain's History could be a selective reminder of what you might have learned at school, possibly even something for a younger reader to give a little background for a new term. Or perhaps you're coming to the subject fresh and want to understand something of how Britain evolved without getting into too much detail.
Just one thing: if you do risk buying the book, and by some miracle enjoy it, please leave a glowing review on Amazon. If you don't enjoy it, send me an email and I'll try to do better next time.

This article is part of our Golf Barometer series.
Australian Marc Leishman notched his first win in just over a year at last week's CIMB Classic during the first leg of the PGA Tour's Asian Swing, dominating his way to a five-stroke victory in Malaysia. A stronger field will tee it up on Korea's Jeju Island, however, as Brooks Koepka, defending champ Justin Thomas and Jason Day highlight the list of notable entrants in the 78-man field. We'll take a look at several fantasy trends as the Tour heads to the highly rated Club at Nine Bridges.
Gary Woodland
Woodland has improved in every event since a T48 at the Northern Trust, collecting four top-25s in as many starts from the Dell Technologies Championship through the CIMB Classic. He held a share of the 54-hole lead with Leishman at TPC Kuala Lumpur before faltering down the stretch, but Woodland figures to maintain momentum after finishing top-25 in SG: Off-the-Tee, SG: Approach and SG: Tee-to-Green last season.
Austin Cook
Cook will look to take advantage of weaker competition during the fall series after excelling throughout the early portion of the 2017-18 season as a rookie, which included a win at the RSM Classic. Cook has veteran caddie Kip Henley on his bag and the former has finished top-30 in each of his past two starts.
J.B. Holmes
Holmes' underwhelming 2017-18 campaign was rescued by a pair of top-3s at the FedEx St. Jude Classic and Travelers Championship, having nearly tied his career high in missed cuts with 10

Jane Norris and Nathan Lloyd set out their own casting shingles
Jane Norris at her new studio in Port Melbourne.
After 20 years with Mullinars Casting Consultants Jane Norris has launched her own firm, Jane Norris Casting.
The highly respected casting guru is working on a bunch of projects including season 4 of Matchbox Pictures' Nowhere Boys, producer Julie Ryan's children's film H is for Happiness and her husband Robert Connolly's feature The Dry.
"The time was right to go out on my own," she tells IF. "It is a buoyant time. I am optimistic about 2018."
Norris has cast numerous children's and teen TV series while championing young actors in the early stages of their careers including Kodi Smit-McPhee, Morgana Davies, Angourie Rice, Ed Oxenbould and Julian Dennison.
Nathan Lloyd, who had worked in Mullinars Melbourne office for 15 years, also departed and has launched Nathan Lloyd Casting.
Lloyd just finished casting Gristmill's ABC comedy Back in Very Small Business and is working on Radio Karate's True Story with Hamish & Andy for the Nine Network and Screentime's Playing for Keeps for Ten.
Ryan is developing H is for Happiness, the saga of a 12-year-old girl who is inspired by the odd new boy in school and sets out to mend her broken family – whatever it takes. Experienced theatre director John Sheedy will make his feature directing debut.
Connolly and producer Bruna Papandrea aim to start shooting The Dry, a thriller scripted by Harry Cripps based on Jane Harper's debut novel, which centres on two murders 20 years apart in a small town in drought-stricken rural Australia, late this year.
Mullinars CEO Ann Robinson tells IF, "It's business as usual for the team at Mullinars. We've established new studio premises in Brunswick and continue to enjoy working extensively, casting Australia-wide for our valued film, television and commercial clients."

The Forge was a secret space station that was located within the Romulan Star Empire which was believed to had been present in deep space near the Eta Crucis system.
This hidden research base was known to had been working on Borg technology with regeneration chambers present in one of the laboratories whilst the station itself was outfitted with a central power matrix which was similar to those found on Borg cubes. The Klingon Empires intelligence division had been aware of the existence of the Forge for some though many believed that such a secret base that equipped starships with the most advanced technology in the quadrant to had been a myth. It was only during the events of the Hobus star crisis when the mining vessel Narada devastated a Klingon task force with advanced technology were the rumors treated as being true. Reconstruction of the Narada's movements led to Imperial Intelligence determining that the ship had stayed in the Eta Crucis system for several days and thus believed it to had been the site for the Forge.
On Stardate 66710.12, the Klingon Defense Force under direction from Imperial Intelligence dispatched the Qiv, Tagek and Ki'tang to find this facility. However, after four days of searching, the Klingon fleet discovered the station which was empty; its computer cores had been wiped clean though some information was discovered which proved that the projects the facility was being used for were not abandoned. The task force later expanded their search to find the creators of the Forge and find absolute proof of the Narada being a product of Romulan experimentation with Borg technology. However, during this expanded search, the Klingon fleet was destroyed by an unknown Romulan vessel with enhanced capabilities.

Leicester one win away from 'incredible' title triumph
Leicester will complete an "incredible" Premier League title triumph and be crowned champions of England for the first time in their history if they beat Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur, the only team who can deny the Midlands club the title, lost ground with a 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion on Monday that meant they were seven points behind with three games left to play.
Even if Leicester, 5,000/1 rank outsiders in pre-season to win the Premier League after narrowly avoiding relegation last term, slip up at Old Trafford the Foxes will still be in pole position to finish the season as champions. "There's still work to do but, in most people's eyes, it is done and dusted," former Leicester defender Matt Elliott told BBC Radio Five. "Leicester can win the title at Old Trafford... it sounds incredible. I'm covering it on the radio and there are three of us going up in the car. If they win, it won't be me driving home." This season has seen Midlands club Leicester leave established Premier League giants such as Manchester City, Arsenal and defending champions Chelsea well behind them.
Owned by Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, Leicester have already qualified for the Champions League for the first time in a season where only the three promoted clubs — Watford, Norwich and Bournemouth — started at longer odds to win the Premier League.
Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri, who replaced sacked former Leicester boss Nigel Pearson in pre-season, was derided as the 'Tinkerman' when he first made his name in English football as Chelsea manager from 2000-04.
But under the Italian's guidance the likes of Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez, named last week as the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, and leading scorer Jamie Vardy have enjoyed the best seasons of their careers, with the Foxes all-action game proving hard to resist in a campaign where they've lost just three league games to date.
When Leicester appointed Ranieri, lifelong Foxes fan and former England striker Gary Lineker, who started his career with his hometown club, tweeted: "Claudio Ranieri, really?" Lineker subsequently admitted: "Oh how wrong I was, how wonderfully, spectacularly, blissfully wrong." The only downside for Leicester's best-known supporter is that it looks as if he may have to make good on a promise to present the BBC's flagship Match of the Day football programme in his underpants if the Foxes win the title.
"I've kind of said I'll have to do it," Lineker told the Radio Times magazine in an interview published Tuesday. "I've told them many times, 'Please tell me I can't do it'.
"When I sent the tweet in December I categorically knew there was zero chance that (Leicester) would win." Leicester will be without Vardy at Old Trafford after the Football Association gave him an additional one-match ban on Tuesday for improper conduct following his red card against West Ham.
But they were without the England forward last weekend as well and still beat Swansea City 4-0. It's been that sort of season for Leicester.

Hey im on disability and my medicaid has run out, now theres a 24 month wait till medicare kicks in, what are you guys doing for insurance in the mean time!? Thank You! Mike
No announcement yet.
Insurance until medicare kicks in?
new posts
Insurance until medicare kicks in?Tags: None
Can you get Cobra from your prior employer? You would have had to have signed up for that within one month after leaving your job. Otherwise, you will have to pay for it privately until Medicare kicks in. Pricey and a problem, as many insurances will refuse to cover your pre-existing conditions.
Have you been without insurance for 6 months? Then you can apply in your state for a special program for those with pre-existing conditions to help you get a more affordable health plan that covers your conditions. See the info I pasted below ***
Starting in 2014, Obamacare will require all health plans in your state to sell you their insurance without discriminating because of your health issues, at the same price other people pay.
Eligible residents of Wisconsin can apply for coverage through the state's Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan program run by the Health Insurance Risk-Sharing Plan (HIRSP) Authority.
To qualify for coverage:
- You must be a citizen or national of the United States or residing in the United States legally.
- You must have been uninsured for at least the last six months before you apply.
- You must have a pre-existing condition or have been denied coverage because of your health condition.
The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan covers a broad range of health benefits, including primary and specialty care, hospital care, and prescription drugs. All covered benefits are available for you, even if it's to treat a pre-existing condition.
Premium: $94 to $754 per month
Deductible: $500, $1,000, $2,500, or $3,500
Out of Pocket Limit: $1,000 for medical, $2,000 for pharmacy
To contact this program, please call 1-888-253-2698 or visit http://www.hirsp.org/plans/federal-plans.shtml.Last edited by hlh; 03-20-2013, 08:56 PM.
Curious, how does you Medicaid 'run out'?? If you are still eligible from a financial standpoint, and still disabled, your Medicaid should continue until and actually concurrent with your Medicare in 24 months.
(KLD)The SCI-Nurses are advanced practice nurses specializing in SCI/D care. They are available to answer questions, provide education, and make suggestions which you should always discuss with your physician/primary health care provider before implementing. Medical diagnosis is not provided, nor do the SCI-Nurses provide nursing or medical care through their responses on the CareCure forums.
I was on SSI about $750 a month, now SSDI about $1700 a month. Just getting frustrated....
Yes it sucks. I also lost my medicaid when I started recieving SSDI and had to pay my own medical expenses until Medicare kicked in, which will seem like forever. You wash and re-use caths, buy only meds that are absolutely necessary(I quit pain killers and spasm meds and toughed it out), and pinch pennies. They didn't have the Odumba plan when I had to go through this, lucky for you they at least have a little something for guatenteed insurance, but not sure if pricing is any better than out of pocket? You are getting more SSDI than I did and I made it through.
If you have a bunch of loans, you're pretty much screwed. You should've planned for this, it happens.

Dubai Police have reported the arrest of a former head of IT of a Dubai school, who resigned from his job and then deleted school data.
The unnamed Arab national was detained in Italy after Dubai Police issued a 'Red Notice' for his arrest.
Police said that the IT professional, who worked for the school group for 16 years, apparently copied and then deleted school and student data, after he resigned from his job and left the country.
The data deletion disrupted school processes, according to the statement from Dubai Police. The school was later able to recover its files.
The school contacted Dubai Police, who issued the notice with Interpol. Dubai Police are now seeking his extradition from Italy.

The study by security firm Control Risks spoke to 350 executives in seven economies - the US, UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Brazil. It found that businesses in Hong Kong were the most affected by corruption, with UK firms experiencing the least. Among all the firms questioned, 42% see corruption levels staying the same, 32% expect a rise, and 23% predict a fall. "Honest companies are still losing out to dishonest competitors on a large scale" concludes John Bray, author at BBC News. In Hong Kong, two thirds of companies believed they had failed to win a contract over the past 12 months because a competitor had paid a bribe, rising to 76% over the past five years. Brazil was the next worse affected, on 42% for the past year, and 38% since 2001. The UK was the least hit, with 22% of firms saying they lost out on a deal in the past year because of corruption rising to 26% over the past five years.
The sectors of the economy most vulnerable to corruption globally are the oil, gas, mining and construction industries, because of the high value of the projects, the study says. It added that one in ten business leaders estimated believed bribes paid could sometimes amount to almost half the total cost of a deal. More than one in three, meanwhile, said they would be put off from investing in a country that had a bad reputation for corruption. "Corruption continues to be a huge international issue and honest companies are still losing out to dishonest competitors on a large scale," said the report's author John Bray, a consultant at Control Risks. "It is clear there is still a long way to go before corruption becomes a thing of the past," Control Risks conducted the survey in association with solicitors Simmons & Simmons. (BBC News)

Yellowstone Police Are Using AC/DC To Clear Bison Off The Road
I personally visited Yellowstone National Park just a few weeks ago, and can tell you one of the greatest sights you'll ever see are massive Bison strolling along the highway. It causes some much-welcomed traffic to see these docile beasts up close, but traffic none the less. So it comes as little surprise to hear this is one nuisance that local police have to battle on a daily basis.
Today, Classic Rock shared a hilarious Facebook post from the Gallatin County sheriff's office, which claims some Bison are harder to move off the road than others. So what do they resort to when blaring sirens and lights from their patrol cars no longer work? Well, as it turns out, Bison seem to run away from AC/DC's hit song "Hells Bells"!
I don't know about you, but AC/DC tends to amp me up and drive a little faster too.

Knowing that many of these photos where taken around Kensington I was trying to work out where this could be. At first I thought the art deco looking building in the background looked a bit like a large hall such as the Olympia Exhibition Centre or perhaps the large Barkers store on High Street Kensington.
Using Google Streetview I looked down from Barkers and saw the building where Marks & Spencer is now found and *think* I found a match.

Only experience is porting on the NOAA Gordon Gunter. Sending you a PM. My wife and I can make the most out of anywhere we go, but after getting helos we'd would really like to go to Japan. Heard the preschools there are world class and we have a little one. I have no idea how selection works over there, just kind of assumed if you crushed advanced you got your first pick.@Igloojam First, don't pay for helo flight time. If you're actively avoiding Norfolk, that's doable. However, it's not like selecting out of VTs. They quality spread folks around quite purposely, so your dream sheet is just a wish list in the event of a tie.
Second, don't shit on Norfolk too hard. If your only experience is a MIDN cruise or dudes who've never lived there, that's nothing. I was there for four years and I'd gladly go back, but it's probably not in my cards. There really are no *bad* helo duty stations. NS Norfolk and NAS Oceana are 20 miles apart, but jet guys trip over themselves to get Oceana over Lemoore.

Nova Scotia reports 3 new cases of COVID-19; 946 people recovered
"The lower case numbers we have seen over the last few days is encouraging, but it doesn't mean we can let our guards down just yet," said Strang. "It is just as important now as ever to stay vigilant, follow public health advice and continue working to keep case numbers low."
HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia announced three new cases of COVID-19 on Monday.
Despite the new cases, Monday marks the third consecutive day without a death in the province. The most recent deaths in the province were announced on Friday when four residents at a Northwood long-term care facility died from the disease.
The QEII Health Sciences Centre's microbiology lab completed 237 tests on Sunday.
To date, Nova Scotia has 36,263 negative test results.
42 active cases in the province
A total of 1,043 positive cases have been confirmed in Nova Scotia. Of those cases, 946 people have recovered, and 55 people have died – this leaves 42 active cases in the province.
Of the 42 active cases, 34 are at the Northwood long-term care facility in Halifax, which currently has 25 residents and nine staff members with active cases of COVID-19. One other facility has one resident with an active case.
As of Friday, 49 of the 55 COVID-19-related deaths in Nova Scotia have been at Northwood.
The province did not report any additional deaths on Monday.
Enjoying a safe holiday
Premier Stephen McNeil wished Nova Scotians an enjoyable Victoria Day and thanked them for their efforts. In addition, he reminded residents that they must continue to follow protocol if some semblance of normalcy is to be restored in the province.
"I hope Nova Scotians are enjoying today's holiday and I want to thank them for the sacrifices they have made over the last several weeks to slow the spread of this virus," said McNeil. "We must keep working together and follow the public health guidelines so we can determine when we can begin a new normal."
Chief medical officer Dr. Robert Strang said the reduction in COVID-19 cases is encouraging – but noted it's not time to let up on following guidelines.
"The lower case numbers we have seen over the last few days is encouraging, but it doesn't mean we can let our guards down just yet," said Strang. "It is just as important now as ever to stay vigilant, follow public health advice and continue working to keep case numbers low."
What we know about the confirmed cases
Eight people are currently in hospital. Four of those patients are in intensive care units.
The confirmed cases of COVID-19 range in age from under 10 to over 90.
Sixty-two per cent of cases are female and 38 per cent are male.
All new cases announced Monday are in the central zone, which contains the Halifax Regional Municipality.
The western, northern and eastern zones are reporting no additional cases at this time.
- Western zone: 54 cases
- Central zone: 894 cases
- Northern zone: 44 cases
- Eastern zone: 51 cases
Public health is working to identify and test people who may have come in close contact with the confirmed cases.
Symptoms and self-isolation
Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 is required to self-isolate at home, away from the public, for 14 days.
Anyone who travels outside Nova Scotia must also self-isolate for two weeks.
Nova Scotians who experience two or more of the following symptoms should take an online questionnaire to determine if they should call 811 for further assessment:
- Fever
- New or worsening cough
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Headache

Metodi didattici
During lecture hours, the main features of integrated optical components necessary to realize optical Networks and Data Centers will be illustrated, considering both technological and functional aspects.
Starting from basic electromagnetic concepts of guided propagation, the behavior of simple optical circuits will be illustrated first, keeping attention to material properties and technological aspects. Such basic circuits will be combined to realize more complicated optical devices, with a bottom up procedure. This will show that it is not possible to increase too much the circuit complexity and still easily obtain results. A top down, functional, approach will be then introduced, showing that it can be successfully used to describe the circuits introduced so far and even more complicated ones, with features which can be programmed using suitable external controls.
Practice hours show examples of application of the theoretical ideas illustrated during lectures, running simple Matlab codes. Students will actively contribute to this part, presenting short seminars on topics agreed with the teacher.
At the end of the course, students will know how to describe the electromagnetic as well as the functional behavior of integrated optical circuits also considering basic effects of possible technological choices. This will allow them not only to design such devices but also to be able to discuss about the most suitable technology to fabricate them.
Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
The exam is oral.
Questions will be asked to the students aiming to check the knowledge and the understanding of the general principles of the studied topics and the ability of discuss them with propriety of language.
Strumenti a supporto della didattica
Lecture notes.
To allow active participation of students to the course, some simple Matlab codes will be provided to students, who will be asked to use them to prepare and give some short informal seminars to their colleagues on some topics agreed with the Course Instructor. This will allow students to immediately apply the introduced concepts and analyze the role and the effects of the device parameters.
Matlab can be freely downloaded and installed by UniBo Students in the framework of the agreement between UniBo and Mathoworks at this link.

Spain 16 November 2000 Appellate Court Alicante (BSC Footwear Supplies v. Brumby St) (Shoes case) [translation available]
[Cite as: http://cisgw3.law.pace.edu/cases/001116s4.html]
CASE NUMBER/DOCKET NUMBER: Unavailable
CASE HISTORY: 1st instance Sentencia JPL de Elche 12 April 2000 [affirmed]
SELLER'S COUNTRY: Spain (plaintiff)
BUYER'S COUNTRY: United Kingdom (defendant)
GOODS INVOLVED: Shoes
SPAIN: Audiencia Provincial de Alicante 16 November 2000
Case law on UNCITRAL texts (CLOUT) abstract no. 483
Reproduced with permission of UNCITRAL
The buyer, a British firm, entered into a contract to purchase shoes from a Spanish seller. In a dispute over the contract, the Spanish court applied Spanish domestic sales law and found in favour of the seller. The buyer appealed, asserting that the Court should have applied the CISG, since the matter related to an international sale of goods.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision, concluding that the parties had tacitly excluded the application of CISG under article 6. Relevant factors included: (1) a term in the standard purchase contract which explicitly stated that the contract should be interpreted in accordance with English law (which, in the Court's view, was tantamount to excluding international law); (2) the parties submitted their petitions, statements of defence, and counterclaims in accordance with Spanish domestic law, rather than the CISG; and (3) the buyer did not raise the issue of applicability of the CISG until the time of appeal.

Summary: Brumby, SL. [seller] filed for a declaratory judgment against BSC Footwear Supplies LTD [buyer] claiming a certain amount. The Court, on 12 April 2000, agreed with [seller] and required the [buyer] to pay 26,388,816 pesetas (158,599.98 Euros) plus legal interest since the date of filing. [Buyer] filed for appeal which was dismissed by Section 7 of the Audiencia Provincial de Alicante.
City of Elche, 16 November 2000.
Section 7 of the Audiencia Provincial de Alicante, located in Elche and formed by the magistrates [names omitted], has acknowledged claim number 395/1997--declaratory judgment heard by the Court of First Instance of Elche--as a result of the appeal made by the respondent [buyer] BSC Footwear Supplies LTD. Said party was represented by the Procurator [Translator's comments: The figure of the Procurator is characteristic of the Spanish judicial system. The Procurator does not give legal advice, but is the legal liaison between the court and the parties] Mr. F.M. and directed by Mr. F.J. Brumby, the appealed party, was represented by Mr. M.H. and directed by S.G.
First. The Court of First Instance of Elche in the mentioned claim numbered 395/1997, issued a judgment on 12 April 2000, which declared: "Having ruled that the claim filed by Procurator Mr. M.H., in representation of [seller] which transferred its credit to J.C. Export SL, against [buyer] was founded, we require the [buyer] to pay 26,388,816 pesetas (158,599.98 Euros) plus interest from the date of filing and all legal costs.
Second. Against this judgment, the [buyer] appealed in due time and form, being admitted by this Court and numbered 365/2000. The appealing party asked for the reversal of the prior judgment which was upheld by the appealed party. 13 November 2000 was fixed as the date for deliberation and vote.
Third. This legal dispute has been processed respecting all rules and formalities.
Magistrate José Manuel Valero Díez will present the case at hand.
First. [Buyer] disputes the applicable law in the present case. [Buyer] alleges that because there is an international sale of goods it should be subject to the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and that the Court of First Instance has disregarded the CISG completely, despite the principle "iura novit curia", since the Convention is part of the domestic law.
As stated in the Supreme Court decision of 22 May 1989, "on the basis of the principle of solidarity and interdependence within international relationships, a new conception of the notion of sovereignty has been recognized and formed based upon the integration and observance of supranational principles and rules. That is, in fact, the justifying and basic argument for Chapter Third of Title Third of the Constitution of Spain (articles 93 to 96), where international Treaties and Convention are recognized and incorporated into the domestic law, once they have been validly adopted and published in their entirety in the Boletín Oficial del Estado [Translator's comment: The Boletín Oficial del Estado is the Spanish Official Diary where all laws and rules must be published in order to be valid] (articles 96.1 of the Constitution and 1.5 of the Civil Code)." In July, 1990, Spain adopted the CISG, which was published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado of 30 January 1991. As distinguished from the provision in article 5 of the Hague Convention of 1964 (which contains a Uniform Law for the International Sale of goods under which each State may notify the depositary Government (the Netherlands) that it would only apply the uniform law to contracts in which the signing parties had designated this law as the applicable law to the contract), the Vienna Convention is always applicable, in principle, if the international sale is within the scope defined in articles 1 to 6.
Given that the international sale of the present case may be ruled by the CISG, according to article [1(1)(b)], it must be decided if it is indeed applicable. Article 6 establishes that "The parties may exclude the application of this Convention or, subject to article 12, derogate from or vary the effect of any of its provisions." This article clearly establishes the non-mandatory nature of the rules contained therein. In other words, it establishes the ruling principle of the autonomous will of buyer and seller, and that their will prevails over what it is determined by the Convention, which can be excluded in its entirety, partially or even in specific provisions. Therefore, a declaration made by the parties of the applicability of the Convention is irrelevant because it does not add anything to its validity. However, said declaration is interesting in order to avoid that, later in time the silence of the parties, together with other circumstances, could amount to a tacit exclusion of the CISG and that the real will of the seller and the buyer would have to be clarified during the process.
In the present case, there is evidence at the time of the negotiations and after such time that lead to the understanding that the will of the parties was not to be subject to the CISG, as it can be deduced from the following:
By virtue of the above, the Court considers sufficiently proved that the contracting parties did not wish to submit the disputes that arose from this commercial relationship between the parties to international legislation (the Vienna Convention). Instead, the Court finds that Spanish domestic law is to be applied, in particular article 10.5 of the Civil Code.
[Ruling under Spanish domestic law, the Court then dismissed the buyer's appeal on the basis that the shoes made by the seller were fit for their purpose, as proven by the fact that the buyer resold them to a third party that handles commercial sales of shoes. Further, the shoes passed an inspection during the manufacturing process by a company commissioned by the buyer. The Appellate Court affirmed the decision of the Court of First Instance in which the buyer was required to pay the purchase price to the seller.]

Online Career Placement Tests
There are different places that you are able to take your career placement test. Many will wait till they are applying to college to take one and it will help them to determine what classes they need to take. Others will try to do it before they leave high school so that they are better prepared.
Taking an online career placement test has its advantages when compared to taking it inside of the library or employment agency or school. It allows you to do it on your own computer and in your home. This will help to eliminate distractions from people around you and it will allow you to be more comfortable.
Another advantage to taking these online is that you will not have to pay any money and you will receive the test results the minute that you finish. You do not have to wait days or weeks for someone to mail them to you.
You will be able to find these online tests easily using the search engine in your browser. Most of these sites will request that you sign up and give them your personal information. The only disadvantage to this is that you might receive unnecessary spam.
The majority of tests that you find will ask you questions that will determine how you deal with different situations. This will determine how you behave during certain times and where your strength lies.
Once you have answered all of the questions it will use the information provided to generate a list of careers that it feels you will be best at. Be careful because there are times when the test will be completely off base. For better results try to take the test more then once. The mood you are in will affect your answers and its results.

FreezingBlue Flashcards
lithium MOA
unclear. possibilities include affecting second messengers/altering intracellular signaling, neuroprotective/antiapoptitic, alteration of neurotransmitter metabolism, or alteration of sodium transport across membrane of nerve/muscle cells.
lithium kinetics
narrow therapeutic index. takes 1-3 weeks to start working (like pretty much all other psych drugs).
lithium indications
bipolar, acute mania, resistant depression (adjunct)
lithium contraindications
renal/CV disease, dehydration/sodium depletion, pregnancy/breastfeeding (Cat D). black box warning for lithium toxicity (treat only if you can monitor it).
lithium interactions
lithium + diuretics (both Na and Li are monovalent cations, so both get reabsorbed, can lead to toxicity).
lithium side effects
weight gain, nephrotoxicity, tremor (can be helped by co-prescribing propranolol).
Antagonize D2 receptors. In the mesolimbic tract, this results in a relief of psychosis (however in the nigrostriatal tract, this can result in movement disorder SE).
FGA kinetics
highly lipophilic. haloperidol, chlorpromazine, and thioridazine have active metabolites. Injectables: IM formulations faster acting (onset <1h), depot formulations are long-acting (duration of 3 weeks).
FGA indications
psychosis. haloperidol acute agitaition/delerium/mania. haloperidol and pimozide Tourette's. haloperidol and chlorpromazine intractable hiccups. chlorpromazine and prochlorperazine nausea and vomiting (immediate).
FGA contraindications
not approved for dementia-related psychosis (black box). thioridazine and droperidol black box for proarrhythmic effects (QT prolongation).
FGA side effects
EPS and hyperprolactemia as a result of D2 anatagonism. Antagonism of other receptors includes muscarinic (dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision), histamine (sedation, haloperidol is the least sedating), alpha1 (hypotension).
Extrapyramidal Symptoms
parkinsonian (bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor), dystonia (muscular spasms), akathisia (feeling of motor restlessness), tardive dyskinesia (involuntary muscle movements, sometimes irreversible).
Antagonize dopamine and serotonin receptors (specifically 5HT2A). Better at treating "negative" symptoms than FGAs.
SGA indications
schizophrenia, bipolar, depression (adjunct). clozapine resistant schizophrenia or suicide prevention. rispiradone irritability in autistic kids. HOWEVER, about 60% of their use is off-label (no effect on insomnia, even though it is frequently used there).
SGA contraindications
clozapine black box warning for agranulocytosis (restricted distribution, CBC/ANC needed to dispense, 4wks at a time). antipsychotics in general increase stroke and mortality risk in elderly dementia pts, so save them for the really bad ones.
SGA side effects
weight gain/metabolic effects (worse c olanzapine, less so c aripiprazole), QT prolongation (worse c geodon). Lower likelihood of EPS than the FGAs (blockade of serotonin may lead to more dopamine release?). aripiprazole has the best tolerability profile, clozapine has the worst.
quetiapine dosing
schizophrenia 150-750mg/d div BID-TID; bipolar 200-400mg/d div BID
aripiprazole dosing
schizophrenia 10-15mg qd
olanzapine dosing
schizophrenia 10mg qd
SGA kinetics
aripiprazole is available as an injection (acute tx of agitation associated c schizophrenia/bipolar).
olanzapine depot (Zyprexa Relprevv) has a black box warning for post-injection delerium/sedation syndrome, pts should be observed for 3 hrs after each injection (restricted distribution).
Benzos MOA
Enhances the effects of GABA at the GABA-A receptor. This has a sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic effect.
non-BZ hypnotics MOA
also work via enhancement of GABA, however they bind to a different subunit than the traditional benzos. The exception in ramelteon, which is a melatonin receptor agonist
short acting BZ
triazolam (most likely to develop dependence/withdrawal sx)
intermediate acting BZ
alprazolam and lorazepam
long acting BZ
quick onset BZ
alprazolam and diazepam (most likely to be abused)
best BZ for the liver
lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam
Benzos indications
sedation, insomnia, acute seizure tx, EtOH withdrawal, muscle relaxation. best for short-term use.
Benzos contraindications
pregnancy/lactation (Cat D). new black box for strange sleep-related behavior and severe allergic reactions (as early as the first dose).
Benzos side effects
respiratory depression, amnesia (may be beneficial).
alprazolam dosing
anxiety 0.25-0.5mg TID
clonazepam dosing
panic disorder 0.5-2mg BID
diazepam dosing
anxiety 2-10mg BID-QID
lorazepam dosing
anxiety 2-6mg/d div BID-TID
CNS stimulants MOA
increase levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the synapse by enhancing chatecholamine release, inhibiting reuptake, and inhibiting MAO. Increased dopamine in prefrontal cortex thought to be the reason it helps in ADHD, however increased dopamine in the nucleus accumbens leads to euphoria and helps explain why they are abused.
CNS stimulants indications
ADHD, narcolepsy
methylphenidate dosing
pediatric ADHD 18-54mg qam; adult ADHD 18-72mg qam
CNS stimulants kinetics
ProCentra is a solution, 5mg/5mL. Vyvanse is dextroamphetamine bound to lysine, gets cleaved off in gut (no high if you snort/inject it).
atomoxitine (Strattera) is a nonstimulant indicated for ADHD. Likely not as effective, but may have less side effects. black box for suicidality.
CNS stimulants side effects
sudden cardiac death, psychosis, abuse (black box), seizures, growth suppression (long term use). ???
CNS stimulants contraindications
hyperthyroidism, hypertension, tics, gluacoma, drug/alcohol abuse, known cardiac defects, bipolar disorder, seizure hx/risk. ?????
CNS stimulants interactions
CNS stimulants + MAOI (additive effects). others ???

Synopsis by Mark Deming
An outwardly ordinary man must come to terms with his inner compulsions in this powerful drama from filmmaker Steve McQueen. Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a successful businessman in his early thirties who lives in New York. To most around him, Brandon seems cool and introverted, but inside he is wrestling with a powerful sexual appetite; he's obsessed with pornography and prefers short-term relationships with women that allow him to keep the world at arm's length. The grim routine of Brandon's life is upended when his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) stops by for an extended visit without prior notice. While Brandon is reserved, Sissy is an outgoing and flashy musician, and she doesn't seem to care about her brother's need for privacy. When Sissy forces Brandon to look closely at his life, he comes to understand the circumstances that made him the man he is today as his veneer of calm begins to crack. Shame won the Firpresci Award (presented by the International Federation of Film Critics) at the 2011 Venice Film Festival.

As promised a bit longer of an addition post this week, it's my cozy Kensington addiction that happens at least once a month that gets me. What can I say though? Always such great reads that are a lot of fun!
New additions from Netgalley Mar 25th – Mar 29th
Stella Kendrick is an all-American heiress who can't be tamed. But when the lively aspiring equine trainer tangles with British aristocracy, she meets her match—and a murderer . . .
Spring, 1905: Free-spirited like the Thoroughbreds she rides across the Kentucky countryside, Stella takes adventure by the reins when she's asked to attend a mysterious wedding in rural England. But once she arrives at the lush Morrington Hall estate, her cold and ambitious father confesses that he won't only give away his best racehorses as gifts—he has also arranged to give away his daughter as bride to the Earl of Atherly's financially strapped son . . .
Stella refuses to be sold off like a prized pony. Yet despite a rough start, there's something intriguing about her groom-to-be, the roguish Viscount "Lyndy" Lyndhurst. The unlikely pair could actually be on the right track with each other . . . until they find the vicar who was to marry them dead in the library.
With culture clashes mounting between families, a scandalous murder case hangs over Morrington Hall. Now, Stella and Lyndy must go from future spouses to amateur sleuths as they team up to search for the truth—and prevent an unbridled criminal from destroying their new life together right out of the gate . . .
If it wasn't for art thieves, spies and killers, Alex Vlodnachek's life would be bliss.
Her freelance career is catching fire. Her relationship with B&B owner Ian Sterling is flirty and fun. She's even attending a glittering cocktail party at his sprawling Victorian inn.
But, to this ex-reporter, something seems "off." And it's not the canapés. When Ian's father vanishes, the enigmatic innkeeper asks for her discretion. And her assistance.
Meanwhile, Alex is having the opposite problem at her tiny bungalow: People keep piling in uninvited. Including a mysterious intruder found sleeping in her kitchen. Her grandmother, Baba, who shows up "to help"—with Alex's own mother hot on her heels.
When the intrepid redhead discovers a body in the B&B's basement and a "reproduction" Renoir in the library, she begins to suspect that Ian is more than just a simple hotel owner.
With editor pal Trip, brother Nick, and rescue-pup Lucy riding shotgun, Alex scrambles to stay one step ahead of disaster—and some very nasty characters.
Can she find the missing man before it's too late? Or will Alex be the next one to disappear?
Life has always been sweet on Georgia's Peach Cove Island, but a case of murder has Marygene Brown down in the pits . . .
For generations, the women of the Brown family on Peach Cove Island have been known for their Southern sass and sweet homemade desserts at their beloved Peach Diner. Since their mother's passing two years ago, Marygene has been stuck in Atlanta while her sister Jena Lynn has been running the family business. Now Marygene has left her husband and returned to her hometown, where she can almost feel Mama's presence.
But all is not peachy back home. Marygene has barely tied on an apron when a diner regular drops dead at the counter. When it turns out the old man's been poisoned, Jena Lynn is led away in handcuffs and the family eatery is closed. Now, to save her sister and the diner, Marygene must find the real killer. With some startling assistance from her Mama's spirit, Marygene will be serving up a special order of just desserts . . .
Includes Seven Recipes from Marygene's Kitchen!
Single mom Colbie Summers has a lot to be grateful for in the run up to Thanksgiving. Relocating back to her California hometown has brought her irascible dad and adolescent son closer. Her gourmet cat food line—vetted by her trusty taste-tester, Trouble—is about to get a big re-order. And she's made wonderful new friends and colleagues. Too bad one them has just been accused of murder . . .
Sunnyside's most gifted students have been at the mercy of a shadowy network of college fixers—including an abusive oboe teacher whose recommendation is necessary to get into Julliard and a school secretary who alters grades for cash. When they turn up dead, Colbie has to untangle a cat's cradle of suspects and motivations—from livid parents and students whose dreams have been crushed to an entire secret Facebook group of spurned lovers.
Suddenly, holiday preparations just got a lot hairier. With the big re-order now on hold and the real killer still at large, Colbie discovers that someone has been grading on a very dangerous curve—and it will take all her newfound sleuthing talent to land safely on her feet.
When exotic pet-sitter Belinda Blake moves into a carriage house in tony Greenwich, Connecticut, she's hoping to find some new clients. Instead she discovers a corpse in the garden—and a knack for solving murders . . .
Pet-sitter Belinda Blake doesn't rattle easily, but move-in day has been eventful, to say the least. The python in her care tried to slither to freedom—just as she met Stone Carrington V, her landlords' disarmingly handsome son. With the constrictor back in its cage, she heads out to the garden, only to discover a designer shoe poking out of the boxwood hedge—attached to a woman's dead body.
The victim, Margo Fenton, was a Carrington family friend, and no one in their circle seems above suspicion. Between client trips to Manhattan and visits to her family in upstate New York, Belinda begins to put the pieces together. But though she's falling for Stone's numerous charms, Belinda wonders if she's cozying up to a killer. And soon, daily contact with a deadly reptile might be the least dangerous part of her life . . .
When seventeen-year-old Tati sends a saliva sample to a DNA ancestry testing site her results come back inconclusive. What's wrong with her DNA? And what does it have to do with her unexplained seizures and the beckoning tunnel she sees during them?
What Tati discovers is more than she could have ever imagined possible. Parallel universes exist and her abnormal DNA compels and condemns Tati and her other selves—shy Ana—privileged Tatyana—and on-the-run Tanya, to a lifetime of ricocheting between their parallel lives in the multiverse.
With knowledge of their existence a deadly threat in every universe, the only chance all four have to survive is to work together to take down the scientist responsible: their father.
Alejandro Padilla isn't superstitious and he doesn't believe the stories that an old sailor doll in a Key West, Florida, museum is haunted. Robert the Doll might look creepy, but that doesn't mean the doll is cursed. So Al ignores the tour guide's warning to ask Robert's permission before taking the doll's photograph. But it isn't long after Al's field trip to the museum that strange things start happening. Al is quick to dismiss the odd occurrences as coincidence and bad luck . . . that is until they become more frequent and more sinister. Is the doll tormenting Al? And if so, what will Al have to do to get him to stop?

An author's note provides historical origins and fascinating facts, but beware: sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.
Hana Keller serves up European-style cakes and teas in her family-owned tea house, but when a customer keels over from a poisoned cuppa, Hana and her tea-leaf reading grandmother will have to help catch a killer in the first Hungarian Tea House Mystery from Julia Buckley.
Hana Keller and her family run Maggie's Tea House, an establishment heavily influenced by the family's Hungarian heritage and specializing in a European-style traditional tea service. But one of the shop's largest draws is Hana's eccentric grandmother, Juliana, renowned for her ability to read the future in the leaves at the bottom of customers' cups. Lately, however, her readings have become alarmingly ominous and seemingly related to old Hungarian legends…
When a guest is poisoned at a tea event, Juliana's dire predictions appear to have come true. Things are brought to a boil when Hana's beloved Anna Weatherley butterfly teacup becomes the center of the murder investigation as it carried the poisoned tea. The cup is claimed as evidence by a handsome police detective, and the pretty Tea House is suddenly endangered. Hana and her family must catch the killer to save their business and bring the beautiful Budapest Butterfly back home where it belongs.
A feminist Lord of the Flies about three best friends living in quarantine at their island boarding school, and the lengths they go to uncover the truth of their confinement when one disappears. This fresh, new debut is a mind-bending novel unlike anything you've read before.
It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her.
It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, cut off from the rest of the world and left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything.
But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie beyond the fence. And when she does, Hetty learns that there's more to their story, to their life at Raxter, than she could have ever thought true.
When seventeen-year-old DEVYN CARTER arrives at school, she expects the day to be as boring and mundane as usual, but when she meets the new, hot substitute teacher, and the even hotter transfer student, Devyn's life transforms into anything but normal.
With these newcomers, also come some harrowing revelations that thrust Devyn into a group of warriors, the Order, dedicated to ridding the world of the monstrous creatures known as Moon Children.
It quickly becomes clear that Devyn's role in the Order is more than anyone had thought. Pressed into training the skills she never knew she possessed, Devyn finds herself faced with the toughest decision she has ever had to make: leave the Order and return to her life for what little time humanity has left, or give up all she has ever known to assume a role she never chose and risk her life to save the world.
From the author of Grave Little Secrets comes this EPIC new fantasy series that tests limits, explores love, and unveils a world hiding in plain sight. Hold on to your seats!

Research Interests
Among the major problems faced in medicine, resistance to antibiotics is regarded as a singular challenge. The primary focus of our laboratory is to understand the genetic and amino acid sequence determinants of the enzymes that inactivate ß-lactams, the ß-lactamases. Our current work is directed at solving three main problems:
- how ß-lactamase inhibitors inactivate -lactamases;
- how ß-lactamases hydrolyze advanced generation cephalosporins; and
- how mutations impact upon ß-lactamase expression. We are also interested in how penicillin interacts with penicillin resistant PBPs and the molecular epidemiology of extended spectrum ß-lactamases (ESBLs).

XY Findables (né XY Find It) is crowdfunding under Reg A+ on StartEngine. XY Findables originally launched a rewards based campaign on Kickstarter back in February of 2014. At that time, XY Findables raised over $200,000 from more than 4000 backers for their Bluetooth tracking device – a very hot crowdfunding sector at that time. The item finder company has since grown and, according to their offer page on StartEngine, generated over $1.5 million in revenue during 2015 and, as of April 2016, has booked revenue topping $2 million. XY Findables states it has sold 100,000 units since launch but the SEC filing puts that number at around 225,000 as of April. The XY 3, the most recent Bluetooth iteration, has pretty good reviews – according to Amazon. XY Findables has several established competitors including Tile and Trackr Bravo.
XY Findables has moved beyond Bluetooth trackers and will soon offer a range of products including a GPS/3G technology thus hurdling the Bluetooth shortcomings. To bring XY GPS to market, the company expects to spend about $1.1 million on development, tooling, initial manufacturing, business development and marketing costs.
According to the most recent offering circular for the Reg A+ offer, XY Findables is hoping to raise up to $10 million in equity funding. As part of the deal, founding CEO Arie Trouw, plans to sell up to 30% of the 10,000,000 share offer so net to the company will be $7 million (a bit less after expenses).
The new funding will be used for company growth with a sizeable portion (40%) for marketing its product. The big push will be with the forthcoming GPS version finder.
The new XY GPS Finder will use cellular technology to broadcast 1 to 10 times per hour to the nearest cell tower to provide its location. The cell service is expected to cost just $5 month with the device starting at $79.99 (one month free).
XY Findables has established relationships with various distribution and retail partners including Fry's Electronics, Amazon, Target, Brookstone, Sharper Image, Zulily, Birchbox and their own XY website. It is interesting that during the six months ended June 30, 2016, XY Findables five largest customer's (which accounted for approximately 55% of its sales during the period) were the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Amazon, Zulily, NEXCON and Fox & Friends.
The offer on StartEngine starts with a $350 minimum at $1/share.

God, I don't have the words to express how much I want You to do everything You are able to do to call my Daddy to salvation.
He is a professor, and has intellectualized You far away. Please work a miracle and draw him to You. I love him so much and don't want him to be lost.
I pray the same for my beautiful step-mother, who I believe is closer to possibly accepting You.
In Jesus' holy name,
Trust me its in the plan some people don't believe and if you try to force them then they push further and further away from the truth. Science is man made and is what we rationalize and believe is the truth based on the things that we know and understand with each individuals knoweledge. Therfore he who knows more feels they have the answers but what it they found that the books in which they read were wrong and the knowledge that they accured was corrupt what would they say or do? The father knows this all and will provide ample time for the truth to shock and awe them even in their own field of expertise and then and only then when they are stumped and they can't no longer relly on the books of their predicesors they will look upward and understand they know nothing and they will be willing to learn the truth.

The Minden Times – December 14, 2017
It's been a busy year for the Haliburton Emergency Rural SafeSpace (HERS), with new clients seeking out its services.
HERS, operated by the Peterborough Haliburton YWCA, provides a safe haven for women and children fleeing domestic abuse. The facility was closed from November of 2015 through March 2016 due to usage outpacing financial resources and late last year, the YWCA launched a fundraising campaign, seeking to raise $120,000 to help keep the space open for the next two years and also conduct a sustainability study on providing services in rural areas.
