Goal: $15,000.00
Donations: 1 - Raised: $10.00
After nearly 50 years in full-time ministry Pastor and Kathy are retiring. Their retirement will be spent primarily with their grandkids, but they do have some bucket list missions plans.
Pastor had plans of having a place for Royal Rangers and their leaders to come and train and retreat. The barn fire of 2013 set those plans back. He would like to continue to host Royal Ranger groups and would like to build a small bunk house for leaders and small ranger group. Royal Rangers is about equipping boys for a better future.
Pastor and Kathy also desire to complete a few bucket list missions trips. Parts of Africa, Philippines and India are on their bucket list. They have always had a heart for world missions and want to be free to travel and bless missionaries with fellowship. We would love to have you give to their retirement mission.

Like Champagne in France, Italian sparkling wine has become synonymous with Prosecco – but that's not all that the country has to offer when it comes to bubbly!

You say "Hello", I say "Pezsgő"!
Sparkling wine is made across the world, in a diverse array of styles. Each style expresses a special, local tradition. Part of that tradition, of course, is the local name used for sparkling wine.

The 2013 Jack Heuer 1887 has a large 45mm case (2mm smaller than the Mikrogirder) that is made from a combination of steel and titanium. The black fixed bezel is steel coated with titanium carbide.
The idea behind the design of the watch is that it combines the look of a stopwatch and the look of a traditional wristwatch.
Taking it's name from the legendary, and highly dangerous, Carrera Panamericana road-race, TAG Heuer's Carrera Automatic is designed to be unyielding in even the most strenuous driving conditions. A shock resistant, waterproof case with a highly legible dial featuring luminous hands and markers culminate in a watch capable of precision and durability regardless of the hazards of the road. Moreover, the wide 45mm black sun-brushed dial with twin chronometers and a black titanium case adds a distinctly stylish element and pays due reference to TAG Heuer's motor racing heritage.

You'd think after her previous experience, the last thing Mary Winchester would be about is going into spooky nurseries alone to investigate eerie baby cries, but that's exactly what happened in this week's episode, which combined a standalone ghost story with some season arc advancement.
Feeling out of time and out of sorts, Mary chopped off her long blonde locks and threw herself back into hunting, finding a case in Minnesota where a couple had died of acute hypothermia, their hearts literally frozen, after hearing some distressed mewling from an abandoned house. While Sam and Dean believed this to be a straightforward case of vengeful child spirits (when is it ever that simple, boys?) and set about salting and burning a bunch of murdered kids' remains, Mary followed a hunch and used such prehistoric techniques as landlines, writing things down on paper, and talking face to face to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Meanwhile, Cas, anxious to clean up after himself and re-cage Lucifer, reluctantly teamed up with Crowley after the angel and the demon followed the same lead. Last time this unholy allegiance happened, it was an unmitigated disaster, but I guess there's a lot of water under bridge since Season 7 and the whole Leviathan thing. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong this time…
But before the odd couple could track down Vince and his Hellish meat suit stowaway, Rowena, the resourceful minx, fooled The Devil into letting her perform a spell, not to preserve his vessel, as he thought, but to weaken it so she could banish him to the bottom of the ocean. While this may have bought her escape for now, I have a feeling this is going to come back to bite her on the arse, big time. Still, it was heartening to see her fight so hard for a way out of her former life, and to promise to help her son and Castiel put Luci back in the box when the time comes. Gave me the warm and fuzzies, it did.
Back at the haunted house, Mary unearthed the remains of the child killer binding all the souls to the property, and got herself possessed by his spirit. Sam and Dean encouraged her to stay strong and fight, an echo of Dean pleading with John in Season 1's "Devil's Trap". Although now I can't think about John Winchester without thinking of him wielding a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, and the sound of splintering bone, so thanks for warping all my precious paternal memories, The Walking Dead!
Having defeated the vengeful ghost, and releasing the souls of the child victims, Mary returned to the bunker with her sons, but only to explain that she needed to leave. With over thirty years having passed without her, and seemingly in the blink of an eye, Mary decided that having her grown up boys around her served as a painful reminder of the husband and little boys she has yet to grieve for. I kind of understand where she's coming from, but three episodes into the new season is pretty early for this epiphany to have happened. And Dean's broken little face will haunt my dreams this week. Poor guy can never catch a break.
So with both Mary and Lucifer out of the picture for now, I'm slightly confused as to where the focus is going to be this season. Crowley and Rowena presumably will have little to do, which leaves us with the UK Men of Letters investigation. Perhaps Mr. Ketch is going to become an issue for the boys in coming weeks, but the sense of threat is currently lower than ever. After twelve years, are the Winchesters coming to the end of the road when it comes to finding new stories? Or is this simply the calm before the storm? I really hope there is still gas in the tank…
Final Grade: C
+ Loved the purple Prince tribute motel room in Minnesota.
+ Cas' FBI alias, Agent Beyonce, made me laugh out loud. Nearly, champ. Nearly.
+ I really enjoyed the pathologist who looked like a character from Bob's Burgers come to life.
– Still not really feeling Lucifer in his rock star vessel. This is a trope which could be really fun, but so far the character has had very little to do.
– Having Mary around clearly upsets the dynamic between Sam and Dean, but it felt a little contrived to have both boys set upon the most obvious answer while Mary was going on intuition. It seemed as though the brothers were being dumbed down to make the point that Mary is a good hunter in her own right, even though she can't work the internet.
– Usually I can spot a Robert Berens script a mile away, but sadly this wasn't as nuanced or layered as his usual fare.
Extra Thoughts:
If Lucifer is at the bottom of the ocean, could he potentially come back as a shark? It's a thought…
Also next week's episode promo has Sam and Dean dressed as priests, so I'm already inclined to give it an A+ on that basis alone.
What did you think? Was "The Foundry" a lost cause? Sound off in the comments, or on Twitter.

'And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. What's more I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.'
Genesis 28 vs 14 – 15
Despite general consensus, there are numerous examples of God's grace – his undeserved and unmerited favour – in the old testament. The above promises were made to none-other than Jacob. A man who stole both birth-right and sacred blessings from his older brother.
One would think such misdemeanors could only result in God's displeasure. And yet, as the above verses convey, he not only avoided God's displeasure, but enjoyed a lifetime of His support and love.
Because even before he was born, Jacob and his descendants had been chosen by God to be His children.
Throughout the bible, God demonstrates a penchant for blessing the most unlikely of characters.
Let's be honest, in his early years, Jacob's character was questionable, to say the least. And there is no better evidence of this than his response to Rebecca's devious plan to usurp his older sibling's rightful inheritance. He neither disapproved of nor frowned upon his mother's dastardly plan – for that is what it was – a plan both dishonest and immoral in nature and design.
Rather, his only concern was whether or not he would be found out.
"But look," Jacob replied to Rebekah, "my brother, Esau, is a hairy man, and my skin is smooth. What if my father touches me? He'll see that I'm trying to trick him, and then he'll curse me instead of blessing me."
Genesis 27 vs 11 -12
Not even the faintest suggestion of him considering the plan to be immoral or wrong!
And yet, God chose Jacob to be His blessed child.
If you ever wanted evidence of the transformational power of God's grace in the old testament you need look no further than the life of Jacob.
Jacob's heart and life was transformed by God's love.
Whilst spending the night in Bethel on his way to Paddan-aram, God told him in a dream;
" I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of you father Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants…….what's more I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go…….I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I promised you."
Genesis 28 vs 13 – 15
Did Jacob deserve such love, devotion, and favour from God?
Not at all.
A few verses later, we witness the beginning of the transformation of heart.
'Then Jacob made this vow, " If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, and if I return safely to my father's home, then the Lord will certainly be my God.." '
Genesis 28 vs 20-21
The knowledge of God's unconditional and unmerited favour (grace) carries far greater power for transformation than the law ever can. It was the knowledge of God's love for him, and the realisation of how precious he was to God that enabled Jacob to change for the better.
But as I pointed out in the article, 'He Is Always At Peace With you', transformation of character doesn't happen over-night. First comes the realisation of God's unconditional and unfailing love, followed by a recognition that He wants the very best for you, leading to a desire to learn to trust Him, which ultimately leads to the manifestation of a better character /person.
The law cannot achieve such results because the law can only attempt to work from the outside-in. Whereas, God's unconditional love works from the inside and consequently manifests on the outside.
Through Jesus, whether or not you deserve it, God is always at peace with you, and 'will be with you wherever you go, and will not leave you until he has given you everything he promised you' (Genesis 28. Vs 15).
They say love conquers all. It truly does.
Love will always be a far more powerful and long-lasting character and life-changing agent than rules and regulations. Rules and regulations work from the outside-in, and as a result are neither wholly sustainable nor complete in outcome. But grace, because it is anchored in one's heart, works from the inside, leading to a natural, whole, in-depth, and permanent transformation of one's character.
My readers will tell you I wasn't the most angelic of children. Indeed, much to the embarrassment and shame of two of my older brothers, my prep school days were a cacophony of trouble and mischief. Be-it getting into a physical fight with a school prefect (four years above me) in my first week, to breaking a window in my second week, to getting suspended for being drunken and disorderly at the summer fair, I was perennially the main subject of discussion in prefects and staff meetings.
My older brother, who was Head of School when I first arrived at Christ Church Cathedral Preparatory School, Oxford, often reminds me of the shame and embarrassment he experienced when, during one particularly Segun-focused prefects' meeting, the deputy head of school made the following comment;
"The little Akande is becoming more and more difficult to handle. He seems to see school as a big playground! We really don't know what to do about him."
My older brother tells me the only thing he was able to say was;
"Please accept my apology. I will have a chat with him."
And so he did. But though I loved and respected my older brother (as I still do), and as a result behaved myself for a couple of days, I always reverted to my natural default – mischief.
I must have been an absolute nightmare to handle!
Two things prevented me from being expelled.
1. My two older siblings were model students, highly respected by all, and the cornerstone of the rugby, football and cricket teams.
2. I was the star of my age-group's rugby, football, and cricket teams.
Fast forward three years, and I'm sitting in the study of a very concerned headmaster. For the first time I begin to realise he's not just concerned because he has to be, but because he genuinely wants me to succeed. If I recall correctly, he said something like this;
"Akande, I'm very concerned about you. You have so much potential, but it seems the only thing you care about is yourself. Your parents have gone to great lengths to send you to this school, and I for one will be heartbroken if you let them down. Not only are you not taking your studies seriously, but you're forever on the verge of being expelled. But because I believe in you, I'm going to take you to a school tomorrow – the place I hope you will attend for your secondary school education. We will spend the day there."
The next day, my former headmaster, the late Hugh McDonald, not only drove me from Oxford to Cheltenham, but as the day unfolded it became more and more apparent that he genuinely wanted the very best for me.
The change within was not only swift but near violent in its extremity. Within a year my studies significantly improved, my behaviour was near exemplary (yes, 'near exemplary', not 'exemplary' – to say otherwise would be shameless fabrication), and as a result I was made deputy head of school; an incredible transformation of an individual most likely to be expelled.
What brought the change?
Love is a far greater force for change than rules and regulations.
Jacob didn't deserve God's unconditional love and support, but because he was chosen he received it in abundance.
You are not only chosen to be God's child, but have the added surety of being in Christ Jesus. And because of this, no matter how things may look around you, be in absolutely no doubt that God's unconditional /unfailing love and support is yours now and forevermore.
Focus not on your mistakes, think not of your circumstance, and look away from your failings. Rather, focus on how dearly loved and precious you are to your father in heaven and let the unfailing power of His Grace do the rest.
He will never leave you or forsake you.
His is always at peace with you.
And you are forever loved and precious in His eyes.

Why Bristol-Myers Squibb Could Be the Best Large-Cap Pharmaceutical Stock for 2020
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE: BMY) may be one of the better alternatives for pharmaceutical and biohealth investors in 2020. Independent research firm Argus, which has none of the traditional potential conflicts of interest compared to sell-side research firms, sees better than 25% potential upside for the coming year. Most analysts issuing new Buy or Outperform ratings are calling for an implied total return of 8% to 10% at this stage in the decade-plus-long bull market.
Argus raised Bristol-Myers to Buy from Hold with an $80 target price. That represents 25.21% upside from the prior close of $63.94, before factoring in its 2.8% dividend yield for total return and income investors. The Refinitiv consensus analyst target price is just $65.00, and the street-high from the sell-side research team is just $75 for this stock.
One factor for the big upgrade and the highest expectations is recent progress in advancing the combined drug pipeline now that it has closed on its Celgene Corp. (NASDAQ: CELG) buyout. Argus now has a more positive view of its post-merger growth drivers and noted solid progress in advancing five key products to commercialization.
Argus is incorporating Celgene's operations (excluding Otezla, which was sold) and raised its adjusted earnings estimates to $4.35 from $4.27 per share for 2019 and to $5.70 from $4.47 for 2020. The addition of Celgene also will add more than $15 billion to Bristol-Myers's top line. Argus sees a five-year growth rate of 12% for earnings per share.
Another positive is in how the company will manage its cash for investors. Bristol-Myers also has announced a 9.8% increase in its annualized dividend to $1.80 at the same time that it is returning capital to shareholders in the form of stock buybacks, after a recent $7 billion buyback authorization was announced.
The Argus report said:
Given recent progress in advancing the combined BMY-CELG pipeline, we now have a more positive view of BMY's post-merger growth drivers. Since the merger announcement in early January, two Celgene drugs (Reblozyl and Inrebic) have received FDA approval. A third drug, ozanimod, has been filed for regulatory review with the FDA and has a PDUFA date in March 2020. These products will add meaningfully to BMY's growth drivers. In addition, positive clinical results have moved Celgene's CAR T drugs (JCAR17 and bb2121) closer to regulatory filing and potential commercialization. These assets will complement BMY's core franchise in Opdivo and Eliquis. We also note successful results in a phase 3 trial of Opdivo for non-small-cell lung cancer. The results increase the likelihood that the drug will receive regulatory approval as a first-line treatment that can compete with Merck's Keytruda. To be sure, the company continues to face merger integration risks and financial risks from its heavy debt load. However, we believe that these risks are outweighed by the positives noted above.
Bristol-Myers also presented very positive clinical trial results for liso-cel and bb2121, two CAR T therapies that were acquired from Celgene. Apart from assets acquired from Celgene, the drug giant has demonstrated positive results in the Checkmate-227 trial for Opdivo that Argus feels may be enough to secure approval of the drug as a first-line treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer. In Part 1 of this trial, a combination of Opdivo and Yervoy showed higher overall survival as compared to chemotherapy.
While Bristol-Myers shares closed up 2.45% at $63.94 the day ahead of this call, its 52-week range of $42.48 to $64.22 shows how it has recently been a stronger stock than some of its peers. That said, its stock is up 42% from the end of summer but only up 23% year to date and only about 20% higher than this time a year ago. Its prior peak was roughly $75 back in the middle of 2016.

Health economics is a new but dynamically developing science. It is the discipline of economics applied to the topic of health care. Health economics provides a set of methods and analytical approaches to study the effectiveness, efficiency and value of health technologies with the ultimate objective of optimal allocation of healthcare resources.
The emergence of health economics dates back to 1963, the year when Kenneth Arrow published his article "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care". However, it was not until the 1980s that it started flourishing as a separate discipline of science, in response to the emergence of the first academic works related to health economics. The research activities in the field of health economics was triggered by the creation of Journal of Health Economics by Joe Newhouse and Tony Culyer in 1981. From then on, a steady growth of scientific output by the experts from the discipline can be observed, with a yield of 2.000 publications per annum.
Investigating the reasons for the exponential growth in interest in health economics it is worth drawing attention to the escalating financial problems that the healthcare systems face, and which in turn forces the need to ensure the objective and transparent distribution of financial resources. It is increasingly challenging to meet the healthcare needs of all the patients. Frequently in order to reimburse the treatment for a particular group of patients, the access to a new, innovative therapy has to be denied to another group. It is a problem that can have its roots in the uninterrupted progress of medicine and in the limited public resources allocated to healthcare. While life expectancy in OECD countries increased on average by more than 12 years in the last half a century, the public healthcare budgets grew by as little as 2% of GDP within the last 15 years.
As the result of such challenges, the study of economic consequences of the introduction of new health technology to the clinical practice have been introduced in the decision-making process in the healthcare in many jurisdictions. According to the most recent estimates, as many as 22 out of 34 studied OECD countries have already implemented the requirement of health economics data in the evaluation of need for reimbursement of a new health technology (Barnieh, 2014).
The fast development of health economics can also be exemplified by the increasing number of pricing & reimbursement specialists joining the International Organization of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). In the last 20 years it grew over 30 times (ISPOR, 2016).
According to the most popular business networking portal Linkedin, there were more than 7587 vacanies posted with respect to the pricing & reimbursement specialization of health technologies on October 20th 2018. Więcej
Today's discussion about the healthcare sector in the EU region is mainly driven by concerns of the sustainability of public budgets resulting from the growing life expectancy and medical needs of our aging population. The EU Commission acknowledges that the ability to meet such challenges requires adaptation of cost-effective solutions. A number of potential areas for improvement are highlighted which include: strengthening health promotion and disease prevention; moving healthcare out of the hospital sector towards more cost-effective primary and ambulatory care services; and promoting integrated care. The EU Commission indicates that new solutions using digital technologies can support implementation of such reforms. Innovative technologies include eHealth, telemedicine and other digital technologies such as 4G/5G mobile communications, artificial intelligence and supercomputing all of which offer new opportunities to transform our healthcare systems .
Digital health solutions offer opportunity for more patient-centered healthcare, emphasizing prevention and closer individual monitoring, whilst improving healthcare efficiency by reducing unnecessary consultations.
1. Hospital data support hospital organization
Hospitals in Paris are trialling Big Data and machine learning systems designed to forecast admission rates – leading to more efficient deployment of resources and better patient outcomes. The experimental project was carried out at four of AP-HP's facilities, with plans to eventually roll it out to all 44 if it proves successful. As well as the hospital's internal data, several external datasets such as weather, public holidays and flu patterns were tapped.
The result is a web browser-based interface designed to be used by doctors, nurses and hospital administration staff – untrained in data science – to forecast visit and admission rates for the next 15 days. Extra staff can be drafted in when high numbers of visitors are expected, leading to reduced waiting times for patients and better quality of care.
2. Patient history of disease to support treatment outcome
A 2013 survey shows that 75% of European hospitals have some type of electronic health records (EHR) system in place. enhanced patient safety, reduced clinical risk, increased continuity of care and improved productivity.
3. Mobile app or social media support to better control of treatment
There are more than 97,000 mHealth apps available on the market with new mHealth apps arriving every month. More than mobile apps to control sugar level, pulse …or smart pill that dissolves in the stomach and the sensor is activated and transmits data to a wearable patch on the outside of the body and on to a smartphone app.
Example of the use of social media (twitter account):
Study Design
Tweet2Quit - peer-to-peer support and accountability for maintaining commitment to quit smoking: (1) discussion questions based on tobacco treatment clinical practice guidelines and (2) individualized autofeedback based on past-day participation.
In a two-group randomized controlled trial with 160 tobacco smokers, Tweet2Quit was combined with a web guide (smokefree.gov) and nicotine patch. The comparison group received the web guide and nicotine patches without the Twitter support group. Tobacco abstinence was reported at 60 days follow-up.
Study findings
Tweet2Quit participants reported significantly greater sustained tobacco abstinence compared with control subjects: 40% vs. 20%; Engagement was high, with participants averaging 57 tweets over an average of 47 days. More tweeting was associated with quitting.
4. Social media
Set up early warning system for adverse drug effects and interactions.
Millions of posts were first analyzed based on defined hashtags with the relevant drug names across social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter etc.
Connections were searched on how drugs interact with each other, and how people are describing them, also looking for clusters of symptoms at a scale not previously possible.

Filters capture tiny particles of dust, dirt and other debris. This helps improve the air quality in your home while your furnace or air conditioner is in use, but that's not the primary purpose of a filter. Filters are actually designed to protect your heating or cooling unit from damage. Debris can clog your HVAC system, causing it to freeze, break or run slowly.
The wrong filter can cause irreversible damage to your heating or cooling system. That's why it's important to select a filter that protects your unit without drastically restricting airflow. Many people are torn between HEPA filters and HVAC filters, which are also known as furnace filters, AC filters or MERV filters.
HEPA filters, also referred to as high-efficiency particulate air filters, capture tiny airborne particles as small as least 0.3 micrometers. These filters capture at least 99.7 percent of airborne particles of this size, and some HEPA filters grab as much as 99.999 percent of these particles. A filter cannot be classified as a HEPA filter unless it meets filtration requirements established by the United States Department of Energy.
Some HEPA filters are found in heating and cooling systems. HEPA filters are also used in automobiles, airplanes, vacuum cleaners and air purifiers.
A HEPA filter used in an HVAC system is an HVAC filter. However, not all HVAC filters are HEPA filters.
HVAC filters are filters used in heating and cooling systems. They are also called air conditioner filters, furnace filters or MERV filters. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, and it's used to rate a filter's ability to capture particles. MERV values range from 1 to 20. A high MERV rating means that an HVAC filter effectively captures a large percentage of fine airborne particles, though not necessarily as well as a HEPA filter.
HEPA filters generally capture airborne particles via interception or impaction, but diffusion is an option if the first two mechanisms fail. Interception and impaction block the passage of medium and large particles, while diffusion is best for fine particles.
When you purchase a HEPA filter, you may notice it has accordion-style folds rather than a flat design or subtle weaving. These accordion-like folds are made from tightly woven fibers that prevent particles from passing through to your appliance or automobile.
HVAC filters have porous membranes made from fiber or polyester that promote airflow while capturing appliance-damaging particles. Like HEPA filters, some HVAC filters have pleated designs that capture particles. However, this does not mean that these HVAC filters are authentic HEPA filters.
There are four main types of HVAC filters: HEPA filters, flat-panel fiberglass filters, pleated media filters and washable filters. HEPA filters and pleated media filters generally have the highest MERV ratings, but they often cost more than flat-panel fiberglass filters and washable filters.
It makes sense to choose a HEPA filter or pleated media filter if you have allergies or a respiratory condition. However, there are some drawbacks to using one of these filter types instead of a flat-panel fiberglass filter or a washable HVAC filter. All filters help capture particles and improve air quality, but some of them make it difficult for air to flow through your HVAC system.
For example, HEPA filters block a large percentage of airborne particles, but they also restrict airflow. This may cause your unit to run slowly, overheat, freeze or even completely stop working. The same is true for pleated media filters.
Flat-panel fiberglass filters and washable HVAC filters capture fewer airborne particles than accordion-style filters, but they also block less air. This means your HVAC system is less likely to malfunction, though your indoor air may not be as pure.
As discussed earlier, MERV ratings evaluate how well an HVAC filter blocks particles from entering a heating or cooling unit. MERV ratings range from 1 to 20, with one being the least effective and 20 being the most effective. HEPA filters typically rank somewhere between 16 and 20 on the MERV scale, while fiberglass filters and washable filters rank as low as 1 to 4 on the scale.
HEPA filters are also classified by an alphabetical system ranging from A to F. Filters classified as C, D or F generally capture more particles than filters classified as A, B or E.
MERV ratings don't just focus on how well a filter blocks particles, though. MERV filters also measure how much an air filter resists airflow and how long an air filter is expected to last.
Permanent HVAC filters exist, though filters generally aren't designed to last forever. Over time, even washable filters should get replaced if you want your HVAC system to function properly.
Recommendations for filter maintenance vary widely across the internet, so it's best to follow the guidelines printed on your filter. If you don't see any, you can contact the manufacturer and ask how often you should clean or replace your filter.
With that being said, you can typically expect to get anywhere from 1 month to 5 years out of your HVAC filters. The exact duration depends on a combination of factors, including:
- The quality of your indoor air
- Whether you have pets
- How well you maintain your filter
- The type of filter you use
- How often you run your HVAC unit
If you have several pets and run your HVAC system often, you may need to replace your filter more often than someone in a pet-free home who rarely uses the air conditioner or heater.
HVAC filters are generally not something you install once and leave in place forever, regardless of whether you choose a high-MERV filter or a budget-friendly model. Depending on the type of filter you use, you may need to care for it by doing the following:
- Vacuuming it
- Shaking off excess debris
- Wiping it down
- Washing it
- Replacing it on a set schedule
Be careful with washable filters. They are prone to mold growth, especially if you don't let them dry fully before you reinstall them. A damp filter may distribute mold particles throughout your entire home and make you and your family sick.
MERV rating often affects the cost of your filter. A higher MERV rating typically means a higher price, both for the filter itself and your utility bills.
Fiberglass filters and washable filters are generally cheaper than pleated filters and HEPA filters. They also reduce utility expenses because they promote airflow more than tightly woven filters, so your HVAC unit doesn't have to work as hard.
You should also consider how often you have to change your filter. The cost of a filter that requires frequent replacements, such as once every month or two, can add up quickly.
Consider your health and budget when you shop for HVAC filters. HEPA filters generally cost more than other types of HVAC filters, but they help protect your respiratory system. However, this may not be a priority for you if you have strong lungs or lack a sensitivity to common household allergens.
Washable HVAC filters are inexpensive, but caring for them requires more effort than other filter types. You may find it easier to buy a filter you can discard rather than clean.
Before you select a new HVAC filter, review several different options online or at your local store. This makes it easier for you to select the best HVAC filter for your home or office. And remember, you aren't stuck with a filter. If you try one and don't like it, experiment with a different type and see if you get better results.

Steffanie Seiler shares with us her new projects with new Simple Stories Documented line soon to be in your local Craft Warehouse!
I received Simple Stories Documented collection and as I looked at the collection more, I knew I wanted to add some color. I noticed the birds and butterflies and nature came to mind. Hence, the hiking photos in my first layout.
I received Simple Stories Documented collection and as I looked at the collection more, I knew I wanted to add some color. I noticed the birds and butterflies and nature came to mind. Hence, the hiking photos in my first layout.
Simple Stories Documented Layout with divided page protector
I cut the word LIFE from one of the 4x6 cards in my collection and basically built from there. I found the right photo to place the transparency over and what I chose gives a very subtle effect but I like it! I used some dimensional adhesive for depth; Stickles on the butterfly and the Journey card; and went with some 3x4 photos in my 4x6 pockets. I really tried to keep it pretty simple.
For the card, I really wanted to make some little flags. They're quite trendy right now and I thought they would be the perfect embellishment for what I had in mind.
Card---Designer's Choice
I used plain toothpicks and added my own button and some twine. I did a lot of matting to dress it up. There is just a tiny amount of Stickles on the dots above and below the bird. I also added some dimensional adhesive behind the bird.
For the last layout, I went with a beach photo from this last summer. I chose it because it's primarily a silhouette photo with the only real color being blue. I added a digital frame before printing.
12x12 Scrapbook Page---Designer's Choice
I am thrilled with how this one came out! I think I crossed into the shabby chic world... just a bit. I am usually the clean and simple scrapper but this collection pulled something out of me I didn't know I had!
I used American Crafts and Tim Holtz ribbons for the flowers. I just cut them off and distressed a bit with some Distress Ink to make them less white. I made pleated paper ribbon - another first for me! The title (besides the Thickers alphabet stickers) was simply one of the quotes from the collection cut apart to suit my needs.
I'm pretty excited about my results. I used very little "other" product. That's the great thing about these Simple Stories packs - they can really almost stand on their own. My oldest son (13) told me he thinks the last layout is the best I've ever made! He's so sweet!

Lapped Zips were a hot topic on this weeks episode of The Great British Sewing Bee. I know them mainly as a Vintage technique, and my Vintage Sewing Books are stuffed full of ways to work them!
The following Tutorial is taken from McCall's Complete Book of Dressmaking (which is delightful!). The important thing to remember when inserting Lapped Zips is to baste/tack at every stage. If rushed, the fabric can slip so that the Zip is exposed, or wrinkles. For the beautiful finish Heather achieved, remember to finish the final step by hand. This will hide the zip beautifully.
Make sure that the Placket/zip opening is 1.5cm or 5/8″ longer (not counting the seam allowance at the top if inserting in a Skirt), than the length of the Zipper teeth.
Pin back both edges of the seam 1.5cm or 5/8″ (which should be the seam allowance in the pattern), tack/baste the seam in position and press.
Place the Zip with the stopper just below the point of the opening. Pin as illustrated.
Working with the seam edge of the back, put the folded edge right up to the teeth. Tack/baste and stitch close to the metal using the Zipper Foot on the Sewing Machine. You may need to slide the tab of the Zip down to stitch past it.
Close the Zip, and place the other seam fold over it so that the metal is hidden. Even swing it over a little more so that it laps over .5cm or 1/8″ at the top. Tack/Baste the open the Zip and start stitching down from the top by hand.
From the back, push the needle through the fabric and then, a couple of threads away push it back through the fabric. The smaller the stitch back to the other side, the neater and more beautiful the finished Zip.
And there you have it, happy stitching!

SHrEe: I am more than just my body
8 October 2017, Gandhi Hall, Lenasia, Johannesburg
"SHrEe, the latest production by Sarvavidya Natyaalaya (SVN) is an unravelling nnd narrative thread of current social issues faced by women in contemporary South Africa. With the sub-theme of I am more than just my body, SHrEe takes its audience back to the time of the Mahabharata and the infamous moment of the disrobing of Draupadi. Threading into this narrative it moves to the present moment, and uses spoken word and contemporary dance movement to retell stories of violence and violation against women. The production slowly unpacks the various emotional stages that women, who have experienced some form of violation or abuse, go through. SHrEe aims to reveal the primal force within these women, the goddess in various stages of being, in various stages of womanhood. From the ferocious rage of the violated woman (Kali), to collective teaching, learning and fighting, where words and voice are weapons (Saraswati), to the ironies of how society treats women, whether married or widowed (Lakshmi) and finally it moves to the claiming back of space, of goddess/woman in a state of equilibrium, who is neither less nor greater than her male counterpart (Ardhanareswara).
ShrEe gives space to female voices who claim their emotional, physical and spiritual power back. "In a country where femicide and rape culture are so rife that it has become a norm, this production aims to bring these narratives and discussions into the public domain through the use of dance" (Chhiba, 2017). Abuse and violation should never be acceptable, therefore I am more than just my body speaks to many variations of abuse but also allows for empowered voices to be heard."

This article looks at the use of Hindu iconography within South African visual art practice and its relation to race, identity, politics and womanhood in the work of Reshma Chhiba. It draws primarily on work from the 2013 exhibition entitled The Two Talking Yonis: Reshma Chhiba in conversation with Nontobeko Ntombela, and discusses Chhiba's use of the image of the goddess Kali, the concept of yoni, the use of Bharatanatyam and understandings of feminine energy in relation to womanhood. It also threads a narrative of Chhiba's ancestry through a poetic description of her grandmother's journey from India to South Africa, and the embodiment of Kali as a form of defiance not only in her work, but also in her grandmother.

Another Hit and Run (Fail to Remain at the Scene of an Accident H.T.A)
(Failure to Stop at Scene of Accident s. 252(1) Criminal Code)
Toddler injured in Toronto October 13 – the driver and passenger failed to remain! On Sunday morning as reported in the Globe and Mail a hit and run driver severely injured a 20-month-old boy who was in a stroller on a sidewalk. Apparently 2 individuals exited the motor vehicle and saw the toddler's injuries. One got back in the car and drove away, the other allegedly ran away. Fail to remain at the scene of an accident coupled with leaving someone injured is considered by the Courts to be both cowardly and selfish act. It is assumed that the failure to remain is to avoid taking responsibility for their conduct. In our 38 years of criminal law defense work, I have come across numerous reasons that individuals have failed to remain at the scene of an accident.
Some examples of the reasons former clients have failed to remain:
- They don't have insurance on their motor vehicle.
- Their car contained a significant number of drugs.
- They had been drinking and wanted to avoid an impaired driving charge.
- They were trying to avoid the consequences of the actual driving that caused the accident.
- They had to get to work.
- There was a warrant out for their arrest.
With respect to the incident this weekend on Toronto streets, Mayor John Tory again stepped in to provide his views on the inadequacies of the judicial system. "I fully support an increase in penalties for those involved in collisions with pedestrians and steeper consequences for those who flee the scene."
Quite frankly I wish municipal politicians would keep their views regarding the efficacy of the judicial system to themselves.
Firstly, there are significant penalties imposed in accident cases. The Courts consider, the nature of the driving, the sobriety of the driver, the injuries (or death), and of course whether the accused remains at the scene of an accident. In the case of R. v. Muzzo, the court imposed a 10-year sentence.
The Criminal Code provides:
- Dangerous driving s. 249 (also referred to as dangerous operation)
- Up to 5 years in jail
- Dangerous driving cause bodily harm s. 249(3)
- Up to 10 years in jail
- Dangerous driving cause death s. 249(4)
- Up to 14 years in jail
- Fail to remain (Fail to Stop at the Scene) s. 252
- Up to 5 years in jail
- Fail to remain cause bodily harm (Fail to Stop at Scene)s. 252 (1.2)
- Up to 10 years in jail
- Fail to remain cause death (Fail to Stop at Scene) s. 252(1.3)
- Up to life in jail
There are numerous other charges that carry significant penalties.
Criminal Negligence cause bodily harm s. 221
- Up to 10 years in jail
Criminal Negligence cause death s. 220
- Up to life in jail
Flight from Police s. 249.1
- Up to 5 years in jail
Flight from Police cause bodily harm s. 249.1 (4)(a)
- Up to 14 years in jail
Flight from Police cause death s. 249.1 (4)(b)
- Up to live in jail
The Courts do consider all the aggravating factors when deciding on the appropriate sentence and attempt to balance those factors against the individual circumstances of the accused. Long jail sentences are regularly imposed in cases of significant injury or death.
With the increase in the number of cars on the streets and the increase in the power and speed of vehicles, it is important that driving safely be emphasized. The new laws on distracted driving clearly have helped. Perhaps photo radar should be re-implemented as it will slow people down.
The real point of this article, however, is to clarify that the Courts are doing their job, the Justice system is working, and in cases of Fail to remain (Leave the Scene as it is referred to in the Criminal Code), where there is bodily harm or death, the sentence imposed will take into account the gravity of the situation. Note that the Courts can and do impose a driving prohibition and a license suspension is automatic under the Highway Traffic Act in addition to what the rest of the sentence may include.
As defense counsel it is our job in these cases to determine if the Crown can actually prove the charge. If not we will go to trial as everyone is innocent until proven guilty. On the other hand, if the Crown can prove the charge it is our job to present mitigating circumstances so that a proper balance can be achieved between the competing interests of general deterrence and personal rehabilitation.

1st March 2004
From March 1-5, IPRT Executive Director Rick Lines travelled to Bucharest to provide technical assistance to the Romanian Ministry of Justice in strengthening their response to HIV/AIDS in prisons. This visit came as part of a UNICEF Technical Assistance Mission (TAM) in the country. While in Bucharest, Mr. Lines assisted the Ministry of Justice in the development of its multi-year strategic work plan on HIV/AIDS and the development of an implementation plan for the Ministry's projects supported by the Global Fund on HIV/AIDS.
While in Romania, Mr. Lines was based in the National Headquarters of the General Directorate of Prisons, and worked closely with both the National HIV/AIDS Coordinator and the Director of the Prison Medical Service on meeting the objectives of the TAM. He also met with representatives of UNICEF-Romania and various non-governmental organisations as part of the mission. Following the completion of the visit, the IPRT submitted a report and recommendations to UNICEF-Romania and to the Romanian Ministry of Justice.
Said Mr. Lines, "The IPRT welcomes the opportunity to work internationally in this manner, and to share our experiences while learning from those of others. The fact that Romanian Ministry of Justice is taking action on this issue is to their credit, and yet again exposes the continued failure of the Irish Government to act in a pragmatic and sensible way to address HIV prevention in our prisons. It is certainly ironic that the IPRT's input on the issue of HIV/AIDS in prisons is being sought out by prison services in other countries at the same time that it is being ignored by our own Department of Justice."
Respect for rights in the penal system with prison as a last resort.

London residents are being asked to unite with thousands of people across the UK and Walk for Parkinson's at Kensington Gardens on Sunday 29 April.
The event will raise vital funds for the charity Parkinson's UK, and is one of many walks taking place all over the UK throughout 2018.
Two people are diagnosed with the condition every hour in the UK and Walk for Parkinson's events aim to raise over £500,000 for research to step closer to a cure.
There are longer and shorter distances to choose from, so whether you're up for a challenging walk or a gentle stroll, there's something for everyone. At Kensington Gardens distances include a 2 mile and a 4 mile route, all set within the grounds of the beautiful park. During the walk participants take in the Italian Gardens, The Albert Memorial, and wildlife near The Long Water. This may be just the right celebration of the third Royal baby while raising vital funds for Parkinson's UK!
It's the first time Parkinson's UK has hosted a Walk for Parkinson's at Kensington Gardens. However, 2018 will be the sixth year we are holding a Walk for Parkinson's in London, after the long-term success of our Greenwich and Richmond Park walks, we've decided to establish a walk at this new location, and bring one of the series of our walks to the West and Central London community as well.
We had 120 walkers at the Greenwich Park walk in 2017 and in the past five years our wonderful walkers raised there over £60,000 for Parkinson's UK.
Sky Sports Presenter and Champion of Walking for Parkinson's UK Dave Clark was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011. He is a keen walker himself and is encouraging people to get involved.
He said: "We want to make 2018 our biggest year yet for the Walk for Parkinson's series. I'd like to invite everyone, whatever their level of fitness, to take advantage of the many different types of walks, scenic routes and distances available. Exercise can be really beneficial to people living with Parkinson's. It is as important to me as my medication in helping me take control and manage my symptoms.
"So please join us at Walk for Parkinson's at Kensington Gardens. Every step takes us closer to a cure and our goal of improving the lives of everyone affected by Parkinson's."
The registration fee is £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s. Everyone who registers will receive a free Parkinson's UK t-shirt, fundraising pack and at the end of the walk, a finisher's medal.
As the charity is hoping to raise over £500,000 from the 37 events it suggests walkers aim to raise at least £50. All the money raised from the event will fund research to help to find a cure and improve the lives of the 145,000 people in the UK living with Parkinson's.
Parkinson's UK is also looking for volunteers to help register people at the start/finish area, or to be a walk marshal at various points on the route during the day.
To find out more, or to sign up to walk or volunteer at the event, visit: www.parkinsons.org.uk/walkkensingtongardens call 0207 963 3912, or email firstname.lastname@example.com

I've just been watching a programme on BBC about two identical twin brothers, both doctors. One went on a fat only diet for a month, and the other a sugar only diet. They went through all sorts of tests, some of them I didn't quite understand. I also got confused about which brother was which, they should have worn name badges which would have made it easier to identify them. Anyway, it seems that both of them lost a bit of weight. The conclusion was, it's not fat on it's own which is bad for you, and not sugar on it's own either. You wouldn't eat spoonfuls of sugar, or pints of cream, because your brain is programmed to tell your body when you have had enough. It's the combination of both which is bad for you, because any food which has fat and sugar in it tastes nice and you are tempted to eat more of it. Your brain doesn't know when to stop stuffing the cakes and biscuits in your mouth, the messages are not sent, so you keep on eating. That explains why I can't just have one biscuit or one cake, it's best that I buy hardly any of them.
I was going to go shopping tonight, but I can't be bothered. It's two weeks since I last went to Tesco. I have enough food to last the weekend, and can eat out of the freezer and cupboard. I will leave the shopping until next week.

The Spectacular Zico mesmerises young students
The thought of entering secondary school can be daunting for some children. Adjustments have to made to a new environment, marking an entirely fresh chapter in their lives. The journey through secondary school will, in some instances, be bumpy, filled with trials and tribulations. And at times they will be faced with negative factors including peer pressure and bullying.
With the stressful Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) finally over for some 19,000 pupils, secondary school however, is just around the corner. To equip them to properly handle life stresses, family theatre producer/director and veteran actor Fareid Carvalho showcased his hit play The Spectacular Zico, on Tuesday at Queen's Hall, Port-of- Spain.
Scores of excited students who attended described it as "fantastic," "entertaining," and "a good guide not only to secondary school but life generally."
Joanne Romany, teacher at Briggs Pre School, urged that the show is "a must."
She noted: "It's one with sound family and educational values. It teaches about being kind, having respect for each other and for animals and the value of true friendship."
One primary school pupil, who gave her name as Sarah, said the characters transported her into a magical world.
"During my preparation for SEA I hardly got any time to relax. It was all about work and sacrifice.
"After seeing the play I felt inspired because I am into chorale speaking and I would like to pursue drama in secondary school. I think drama has a whole world of opportunities which are not explored," she added.
Aaron Huggins, of the San Juan South Secondary, shared sillier sentiments, urging that pupils ought to be exposed to the arts from an early age.
"The play is about having good manners and respecting your elders. Drama can be used to teach subjects and get children more involved in their school work.
"Sometimes school life can become tedious like maths which can become difficult. Drama is a good means to get children involved in subjects like English," Huggins said.
Zico Returns, chronicles difficult decisions that most children encounter in growing up. It deals with family life and the struggles of a single-parent home facing adversity. It also focuses on the power of love and friendship and respecting both humans and animals.
The initial play, Zico was shown a couple of weeks before the SEA exam on May 4.
Not wanting those pupils to miss out, Carvalho held another showing, hence Zico Returns.
"My first show was two weeks before SEA and I knew those preparing could not attend. Since then I have been bombarded by principals to bring back the play," Carvalho said.
But moreso he believes that drama is a medium which needs to be properly tapped into.
"The theatre industry is dynamic and its a pity many fail to recognise that. We need to expose the younger generation to the theatre world and all the endless possibility it holds," Carvalho urged.
For the past 17 years Carvalho's plays have been much sought after by schools.
"Sacred Heart Girls' bought 800 tickets for the last showing.
In each of the plays I incorporate values and morals and it's done in a setting where children can relate.
"If a teacher says, 'Stay in school or do your home work', students don't really take them on but if a magical character says the same thing including not to join a gang, they listen," Carvalho said.
He bemoaned the fact that space was a problem in hosting large productions. If this can be addressed it will be a boost for the theatre industry.
He has also worked with private and Government agencies in raising awareness regarding issues affecting children and was the figure behind producing the Ministry's of Health "Fight the Fat Campaign."
Zico Returns runs until today, May 24, at Queen's Hall with 9.30 am and 1 pm shows.

Being a lawyer will be extremely rewarding and there's a host of advantages that can accompany the job. Because many parts of the appliance process are standardized, especially for high law colleges, I will first focus on typically getting ready your utility after which delve more into shaping it for Harvard. Many people who earn their law diploma work in a field of law outdoors of trial work. Once you could have earned your legislation diploma and handed the American Bar Association test you may have many options for training regulation. These fields would come with business and finance legislation, intellectual property regulation, mergers, bankruptcy and environmental law.
You detract from the aim of the assertion, which is why you need to go to—and know you'll succeed at—regulation school and are compelled to compress your reasoning into a number of short sentences, which can sound insincere because they are so quick.
Following its investigation, OCR decided that the Law School's present and prior sexual harassment policies and procedures failed to comply with Title IX's requirements for prompt and equitable response to complaints of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
A committee of legislation school school, students, alumni and workers mentioned this week that the shield, which is modeled on the family crest of an 18th-century slaveholder, now not displays the varsity's values and advisable or not it's axed. The committee really useful the college retire the Royall family coat of arms as its protect. There is nobody proper strategy to write a private statement as a result of everyone has a distinct motivation for attending legislation school. The private statement could be very tough to write as a result of it really is the center of your application. The pupil group who called for the removal of the image has yet to subject a press release on the decision, but the legislation college says is has already begun eradicating the protect from spaces on campus and on-line.
Non-trial regulation entails you representing a bunch, filing papers on their behalf and advising them via legal situations. For example, the late Johnny Cochran didn't received Harvard or Yale, however acquired his regulation diploma from Loyola University School of Law in 1962. On the opposite hand, in the event you resolve to go to a law school in Hawaii, the GPA necessities shall be lower because most people might be trying to go to more recognized law schools. You have some flexibility along with your different letter(s) and should use it to flesh out completely different elements of your software.
