Spider Silk Can Create Lenses Useful for Biological Imaging
Spider silk is useful for a variety of biomedical applications: It exhibits mechanical properties superior to synthetic fibers for tissue engineering, and it is not toxic or harmful to living cells. One unexpected application for spider silk is its use in the creation of biocompatible lenses for biological imaging applications. Researchers describe the feasibility of creating lenses capitalizing on the properties of natural spider silk material in the Journal of Applied Physics.Read more

Hey curvy girls all over the world,
Today, Eloquii released some surprising news. They announced their collaboration with Resse Witherspoon. For those of you that don't know, Reese Witherspoon has her own clothing line called Draper James. It's a clothing line that I like to call all American. They offer fun and cheerful daytime dresses, girly tops, bottoms, and accessories. This is a collaboration that makes a whole lot of sense for Eloquii because their aesthetic is similar to Draper James. Reese Witherspoon is partnering with the Eloquii for two limited edition collections. The first collection they revealed is a 16-piece spring collection called Escape Route.
The Escape Route collection is made up of dresses, tops, and bottoms with bold prints like gingham, stripes, and colorful floral prints. In this collection you'll also find a bevy of feminine accessories. What I like about this collaboration is that it really fits with Eloquii. These are spring pieces that scream spring. The gingham wrap top and ruffled hem skirt is something that's perfect for vacations. The multi-colored stripe dress is perfect for daytime. Especially with the bow accents. Throw on a pair of wedges and flats and you can go sight seeing or just look cute while running errands. The floral jumpsuit is chic and the floral print is not overwhelming.
If this is what they're coming with for spring, I can't wait to see the second collection. Let me know that ya'll think.

Dear Members of CFI, Most members have now received their ballots. If you have not gotten yours in your Saturday mail, please email us with your address, and note if you have moved in the last year. Send your email to: [email protected] If you have a different address than the one in the database, the check of the US Postal Service that was done by Ballotpoint's mailing house on the addresses that we provided should have picked up a new address and the ballot was mailed to your current address of record. How to Cast Your Ballot Please be sure to mark your ballot – do not write on it or mark other than the "bubble" in black ink as per these instructions. These are machine scanned to be counted. Put your marked ballot in the secret ballot envelope. Seal that envelope – no marks on the outside. Put the sealed secret ballot in the large return envelope. Please put your return address on the outside envelope, this is so that if there is a problem with the US Mail it will come back to you and you can re-mail it to the Post Office Box. The barcode on the outside of the return envelope will be used to confirm that it is from a registered voter in the database that was sent from the Local to Ballotpoint. This is how a duplicate ballot will be identified so that no member gets two ballots in the case of a requested replacement/lost ballot. New Members The Local always accepts new members, with an application and dues checkoff forms for those employed by the courts, those must be sent to the Southern California office for processing. Freelance members may join by applying on the website and payment of the $50 annual fee. These classifications of members may vote in the election. But after Monday March 5th we will not be able to get ballots mailed out in time for members to return them by mail to be in the Post Office box before the pickup for counting on March 15th. If you have friends who want to join, please have them email us immediately and we will get applications out to them (via email) if they work at the courts. Freelance members may join on the website. Obviously, we will be happy to have people join, but after the first part next week, joining in order to vote in this election won't be possible.Conclusion We hope for a 100% return, please mail you ballot right away so that there is time for it to get back to the Post Office before the counting date. Ballots not in the post office box on Wednesday March 15 at 10am when the Election Committee (with a representative of Ballotpoint) picks up the mail – will not be counted. Counting is not based upon postmark. Ballot must be returned by mail – it cannot be hand carried to the office – and be there by the morning of March 15th. Sincerely, Carrie Biggs-AdamsTemporary Administrator
Your Bargaining Team met with Region 1 today at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. Special thanks goes out to Lorena Pike (Full-time, Santa Maria), Hernan Vargas (A), Ana Plasencia (A), and Sandra Rodriguez (A) for showing your support by observing the negotiation process in action.
This update is going to be brief, which unfortunately mirrors today's bargaining session. Not only did the Court's spokesman Joe Wiley and the rest of the Court's team not arrive until 11:30 am, but Court Counsel Ivette Peña was not present during any part of the session. The minimal content of the two paltry proposals that the Administration offered us today would suggest that there was not a real intention to work through a full session, perhaps owing to the absence of Court Counsel.
Despite asserting that interpreter assignments are one of their top priorities, the Court notified us that the new computerized interpreter assignment system may not be implemented until July of this year, at the earliest. We requested time to preview this system and the Court agreed to present "screenshots" of the new software system at our next session.The only other two topics of note were:
CFI members demonstrated to the administration that we are united and willing to fight for a fair contract by holding a noontime rally in front of Stanley Mosk Civil Courthouse. We thank all those members who participated and made your voices heard!
The next bargaining session will be held on March 21st, 2018, 10:00 am, at the CWA District 9 Office, 12215 Telegraph Road, Suite 210, Santa Fe Springs, California 90670. We are expecting the next session to be of particular interest, as the Court will be sharing more detailed information about the new computerized assignment system. To those of you for whom this is a crucial issue, your team encourages you to attend and support. Get your Requests for Time Off into the office today!
In solidarity,

Your Region 1 Bargaining Team met with Court Administration today at the CFI Santa Fe Springs location. Thank you Ramona Rodriguez (F), Maria Ruiz (A) and Alicia Grubic (A) for showing your support by observing the negotiation process in action.
Our apologies for this update coming out a couple days later than it normally does, and for those of you who asked, "No update?," it's heartening to know there are interpreters who keep themselves in the know regarding the progress of our contract negotiations. It is important to remember that each one of you is an essential part in securing and upholding a contract which is favorable to interpreters.
It has become apparent that management does not discuss bargaining issues until the day of the meeting; their bargaining team spent over two hours caucusing before they met with our team.
There was some positive movement, albeit small. Management withdrew their proposal on Article 17 that dealt with the way seniority is calculated when an employee moves from full-time ("A") to as-needed ("F") and then back again to full-time. They had proposed to change the language in the description, although not the method.
They accepted the chart that we proposed that would illustrate the employee designations used in each county: Los Angeles: "A", "C" and "F" status; Santa Barbara: regular full-time; regular part-time and "Extra Help"; and San Luis Obispo: regular full-time; regular part-time and "As-Needed".
Management was also willing to have a discussion about Article 19 which deals with Cross Assignments. Until now, they had not done that, but would just reject our counter proposals with little or no discussion.
Court Administration rejected our last wage proposal and modified their last salary proposal. This modification dealt with the timing of the increase not the amounts. They proposed 2% after the ratification of the contract, 2% July 2019 and 2% July 2020. No retroactive, no signing bonus, no COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment). Our team was understandably upset. Caren Sencer our attorney spoke up and told them we were disheartened and found it difficult to move forward when we know there is no movement in other areas. Their attorney (Joe Wiley) responded that they were "not suggesting that there would be no more movement right now". He said that in bargaining he always prefers to first deal with as many of the easier issues as he can, and to leave the harder issues until last. The issues he considers "hard" are Art. 21, Salary, and Art. 18, Assignments.
The fact that he admitted that that was not their last offer was encouraging. However, after we caucused, we agreed that we could not move forward with the "easier" issues because some of those are contingent on the wage issue. If they are willing to concede on some of the things we are asking for (COLA, retroactive pay, etc.), we may be willing to withdraw our proposals on some of the "easier" issues and leave them for the next contract negotiations. One example of these is our request for a yearly sum of money ($750.00) to cover the cost of our CIMCE credits and California certification.
The next Bargaining session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 28th at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse (Room 522). Remember to fill out your RTOs to ensure your participation in this session. We are also planning a noontime rally in front of the Courthouse (Grand Street entrance), and strongly encourage those nearby to attend. Let's show the Administration that we are united and willing to fight for a fair contract!
In solidarity…
Your Region 1 Bargaining TeamCFI Local 39000, CWA-TNG
Pedro Ramírez-Navas Daniel Kaufman Doris Vick Michael Ferreira Robert Guerrero Caren Sencer, Spokesperson
Dear Member of CFI Local 39000, Ballots will be mailed to all members in good standing of Local 39000 on Friday, February 23rd. The election involves the following offices: Local PresidentLocal Vice PresidentLocal SecretaryLocal TreasurerExecutive Board Representatives:Region 1Region 2Region 3, andFreelance The ballots are being handled by Ballotpoint (a nationally recognized company that handles elections for unions and other organizations). The ballots will be mailed from their mailing house in Michigan on Friday February 23rd. 825 individuals are on our rosters as members in good standing – and will be getting their ballots from the Local (via Ballotpoint). In order to be counted, members must follow the instructions in marking their ballot and returning it via the small secret ballot and large return envelope. BALLOTS MUST BE MAILED BACK TO THE POST OFFICE BOX – they cannot be accepted at the Local office. Please be sure that you vote and get your ballot in the mail in time to be in the box when the mail is picked up the morning of March 15th. The Election Committee and a representative of Ballotpoint will pick up the mail at 10am on March 15th, and those ballots will be counted in the Local office in Santa Fe Springs that morning. The results will then be certified and released that day. IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR BALLOT IN THE MAIL Mail should arrive early next week. If your co-workers say they got their ballot and yours has not come – email us – [email protected] with your:NameAddressPhone number (in case we need to discuss this with you) If the address is different from the one in the Local's records – we will have a duplicate ballot sent to you by Ballotpoint at the new address (note we have sent mail to all addresses in the last couple of months about this election and corrected any addresses on mail that was returned). If your envelope didn't appear in the US Mail – a duplicate ballot will be sent by Ballotpoint. Any duplicate or replacement ballots will be marked (by Ballotpoint) to ensure that only vote is cast by each member in good standing. The secrecy of the ballot process is one more reason that you must mail these back in the envelopes provided by Ballotpoint. The return envelopes already include the return postage, so that will not delay your vote. Note your replacement ballot packet will be sent from Ballotpoint in Portland, Oregon. Please recognize that it will take a couple of days for your replacement ballot to arrive, and then a couple for your return ballot to arrive at the Post Office Box in Santa Fe Springs. Don't delay in making your request for a replacement ballot. Please email so that we have a record of your request and our response to your request. You may call the office, but it will not be as efficient as we will only get the voice mail when the office is open (562) 944-2341. Please mail your ballot as soon as you get it, so you don't misplace it. Ballots should be mailed back in time to be in the Post Office Box by March 14th – we will pick up the mail on Thursday morning March 15th and only ballots in the post office box at that time will be counted. REGION 4 Executive Board Representative Only one candidate stood for the nomination when the process was concluded, therefore Silvia San Martin was declared elected by acclamation. Ms. San Martin has now taken office and is starting to represent the members of the Local in her region. REGION 4 BARGAINING COMMITTEE The race for Region 4 Bargaining Committee ended in the committee being elected by acclamation when some nominees decided not to stand for election. The Committee is starting to plan meetings and collection of members' suggestions for proposals. The Committee members are: Silvia San Martin (also ex officio member as Region 4 Board Representative) – San DiegoAna Fuller – San DiegoRebeca Vera – San DiegoJackie Ruiz - RiversideLouLou Tovar - OrangeJuan Ramirez – Orange The contract expires on June 30th. REGION 4 PERB Retirement Case: The hearing in the San Diego Retirement Case concluded on February 1st. Our case in chief had been submitted last fall, and our attorney Anne Yen, feels that the case went very well. She was assisted by Jackie Ruiz who had been on the bargaining committee and testified in rebuttal.Jackie provided this recap: "The following people testified: Susan Rhode (not sure on the spelling)-Was employed by Orange County Superior Court/HR Analyst-She testified regarding OC's retirement system/reverse pick up. -the fact that CFI has always been tied to the General Unit -Notice of changes to benefits were always sent to CFI.-CFI never asked to meet and confer Monna Radulovich-Region's attorney-She testified that CFI had requested to meet and confer regarding the impacts of PEPRA.-that although the Court was not conceding they had to M & C, they did. -Courts position was that it was not a PEPRA issue, but a state provision instead. -She stated that Mary Lou was frustrated that it was not dealt with at bargaining.- She said that Stephen Cascioppo stated that it was discussed at the table and that the 9% raise was given because of retirement changes. -She discussed the details of the San Diego meet and confer and the fact that they didn't agree on anything other than having the EPMC phased in. Stephen CascioppoSan Diego Asst. Executive Officer-He testified regarding the PEPRA changes and the agreement they reached with LIUNA.-He said they were aware that CFI was in negotiations with San Bernardino and Riverside for a side letter. -He said that the elimination of the EPMC was discussed at the Region table and that Joe Wiley said it was a local issue. That local issues such as retirement couldn't be discussed at the table.-He said they didn't agree to a side letter because they didn't want to give CFI "more than what they had given the rest of the employees." The judge had great questions for Cascioppo:Q: When looking at CFI proposals you said that the Court wouldn't agree because CFI would be getting more?A: YesQ: LIUNA got an 8% offset plus a wage increase?A: YesQ: What did CFI get?A: 9% over term of contractQ: Did you discuss at the table that the 9% was an offset?A: No Lyn BellSan Diego County Superior Court- HR Director-She only testified to changes in health benefits that CFI was tied to the General Unit. * part of the complaint included bad faith bargaining re: health benefits. Rebuttal witness:Jackie Ruiz-was asked if proposals included EPMC offset. Jackie said yes, at first.Things changed when Riverside had a private Caucus with Ernie Durazzo, Silvia Barden, and Jackie. Riverside informed them that they would not discuss PEPRA/EPMC at the table, but that Riverside CEO was willing to offer interpreters a (non-wage) equivalent offset. Riverside imposed PEPRA increase and interpreters were FORCED to accept. After this conversation, CFI's proposals did not include offset, only cost of living increase.Joe Wiley flipped!! Was insisting proposals DID include offset. Jackie stuck to her guns saying it didn't. Wiley go crazy & judge asked for a recess. Joe Wiley stormed out calling Jackie a liar saying "Lies, lies, lies! Judge could hear him in the hallway. Jackie told the judge that that's his demeanor at the bargaining table. Joe Wiley took the stand at the end to state that the Court ALWAYS considered all of the wage proposals but declined them. He stressed that the raise that was given took I to account PEPRA. The Judge asked a lot of great clarifying questions that left Jackie feeling confident that he understood CFI's position." NOTE: Jackie has apologized for the delay in a report-back – she has been dealing with a family emergency, in addition to serving the Local on the Election Committee. Briefs and reply briefs will be filed in this case. And the Region 2 case continues on March 5th and 6th. Anne Yen is representing CFI (paid for by the TNG Legal Services Program) in both cases. Conclusion Please be sure to vote. Sincerely, Carrie Biggs-AdamsTemporary Administrator
So, it was another day of truth and beauty at Santa Fe Springs, and here's a recap of all the goings on.
On the wages horizon, Court Administration offered interpreters yet another wage proposal: an increase of 1.5% over their last proposal made on January 22nd totaling 6% over the life of the contract. Once again, they rejected CFI's proposal that included steps; the team countered with a proposal which calls for a 2% yearly wage increase above COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment), and which additionally provides for a "longevity increase" at intervals of five years over a fifteen-year period.
Other points of note during our collective tête-à-tête include:
The proposal by CFI to create a program and classification for rehiring annuitants (retirees who return to work for the courts) was resoundingly rejected by the Region. Their spokesman, Mr. Wiley, again firmly restated their position that rehiring retired employees is of no benefit to the courts, citing the "laborious" complexity of record keeping for payroll regarding the 960-hour limit per year that a rehired annuitant is permitted to work and still receive retirement benefits.[1]
Regarding the Assignment article (Article 18), although CFI has shown good faith toward seeking compromise, there still exists a significant divide between the two positions. In fact, there may be no possible resolution to this issue until we get closer to the rollout of the new software-based automatic assignment system. To date, there has not been even so much as a manual with screen shots offered to the team to consider; it may well be that we need to see a test run of the system before we can find common ground to sign off on this article.
Joe Wiley, Court's spokesman, made it clear that the Court was rejecting our proposal concerning benefits in Article 26. He explained that the benefits package was determined by Los Angeles County, and the Court had no control over what that package would be, and therefore, the Court could not commit as to how our members would be affected. CFI countered with a modified proposal stating, "Any changes to the benefit package would not result in an increase in costs." As our spokesperson, Caren Sencer, commented to Administration: The Court can't control the package offered, but it can control the costs to our members.
Article 31 – Office Space and Supplies: Videos, photographs, and supporting information which we presented to Administration regarding what we consider to be inadequate office space was resoundingly disregarded. The comment was, "Reasonable minds can differ on what is unsafe," and the Court further stated that if the Union has any concerns about an unsafe situation in the interpreter waiting rooms, or other facilities, we can file with OSHA. To this our team's spokesperson replied, "Well, maybe not OSHA, but the Fire Department."
The entire bargaining team would like to thank the following members who sacrificed a vacation day to attend this bargaining session and lend their support to our efforts: Sonia Cruz (A), Claudia Longo (A), Susana Hernández (A), Brenda Oliver (A), and Oscar de la Llera (A). It was fantastic being able to sit and talk with all of you after the afternoon session; it was a good conversation answering your questions and hearing your concerns.
Please be aware, if benefit time on an RTO is specified as Vacation, instead of Sick Personal, there appears to be a higher likelihood of approval to observe bargaining.
The participation of every interpreter is even more crucial now as we continue to negotiate key labor and professional issues which uphold the mainstays of our contract. The Court needs to know that interpreters really care about matters such as seniority, assignments, vacation, and wages.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our next bargaining session on February 21st in Santa Fe Springs, home to hardscrabble heroes!

By Eric Sorensen, FBN Crop Insurance and Bryce Irlbeck, AgriSecure
One of the biggest concerns' farmers have about transitioning into organic is that they'll lose their crop insurance.
But that's a myth — there is government-subsidized crop insurance for both organic and transition acres, and the program is better today than it's ever been.
However, guarantees, coverage details, building your APH, and risk considerations are significantly different compared to conventional crop insurance. For example, insurance guarantees will be based upon T-yields, which are typically conservative, until you have an opportunity to build your APH. Additionally, some organic crops may not be insured in your area today.
Because of these differences, you need to understand the growing season risks of each crop and evaluate the options available for managing your risks by working with a partner, such as AgriSecure, and an agent who can advise you on the best plan for your operation.
Work With a Knowledgeable Agent
Due to the complexity of insurance for organic and transition acres, the No.1 step you can take in setting yourself up for success is to find an agent who specializes in crop insurance, especially one that has experience insuring organic crops.
This is crucial because no two situations in organic are alike and there are several nuances that will make a significant impact in structuring your policy correctly. By working with an inexperienced agent, it is unlikely they will fully understand the rules and nuances with organic crop insurance, which could result in significant penalties or reductions in your coverage.
Unfortunately, there's currently no professional designation for crop insurance agents, which makes it challenging to determine how knowledgeable your agent is. But there are a few things you can look for and ask to be sure that your agent can properly serve you.
First, look for an agency that has a website with a page dedicated to crop insurance. Even more preferable is to look for an agency that has at least one person dedicated primarily or solely to crop insurance. This not only ensures they're knowledgeable, but also will have the bandwidth to take you through the process of a claim during rough times, as seen in many parts of the country this year. If an agency has someone dedicated to more than just crop insurance, such as health and property-casualty, that's a surefire sign they don't specialize in crop insurance.
Once you find someone who specializes in crop insurance, you'll want to find out if they've ever insured an organic farm. If they haven't, it doesn't mean they can't learn it, but in having a conversation with them you'll be able to quickly determine whether they can understand it.
Start the Process Early
Once you find an agent, you'll want to get the conversation started with them as soon as possible.
At the very minimum, you need a month before the sales deadline, which is March 15 for most areas of the Midwest. However, given the amount of work involved — making sure your organic certification plan matches up to the right entity, that your FSA paperwork is in line, the final sale of the grain matches up with the policy name — a month isn't optimal.
Ideally, you should start the process a year in advance. This is because, much like a tax accountant who can advise you on what to do based on the current tax laws, your agent can give you recommendations on what would be best for your risk management. If this causes you to change your plans, a year would give you enough time to make them. It also gives your agent time to get more familiar with organic crop insurance, if they aren't already.
5 Factors in Creating the Right Insurance Plan
There are several options and factors that go into creating the best crop insurance plan. Here are four things you should consider or discuss with your agent:
1. Crop Insurance Unit Structure
Crop insurance is broken into crop insurance units, which means that all of the acres within that unit are standalone. It matters what unit structure you have in your operation, whether it's basic, optional or enterprise, and you need to consider the impact your organic acres will have on your unit structure, as well as your overall risk profile.
2. Create Separate Entities
Because crop insurance units often lump conventional and organic acres under the same policy, we frequently recommend splitting your operation into separate entities, so organic acres are in one entity and conventional in another. This will allow you to differentiate those acres in your insurance policies. We recommend creating that separate entity for organic crops during the transition period.
3. Additional Insurance Protection
Multi-peril insurance may not be fully adequate to cover the value of your organic crops, so you may want to consider alternative policies for additional protection. Hail coverage is a common one if you're in a high-risk area for hail damage, but there's also weather-index insurance, which can cover extreme rainfall, drought and temperatures.
4. Whole-Farm Revenue Protection
If you have organic crops that are not covered under organic crop insurance, one option is whole-farm revenue protection, which would put all commodities on the farm under one insurance policy for up to $8.5 million in insured revenue. Whole-farm revenue also works well when you have at least three crops.
It's important to note there are very few agents versed in this program, so if you're interested in it, be sure to find a knowledgeable agent and work with them early, because it takes extra time to bring in all of the data required and get the policy set up.
5. Develop a Strategy for a Strong APH
In addition to creating the right insurance plan, you'll also want to create a strategy on how you will build up your APH and replace T-yields.
T-yields are conservatively low, and in a way are an inadvertent built-in penalty for organic growers. Because of this, you'll want to replace them with actual yields as quickly as possible to improve your insurance guarantees and revenue floor, assuming that your actual yields will be higher than the T-yields. But it takes some strategy on how to accelerate your departure from T-yields without harming your organic production.
Crop rotation is the main component to this strategy, as you'll want a rotation that not only builds up your APH, but is also agronomically sound to maximize yields. This is another area where it's important to work with an expert like AgriSecure, which can help you develop a rotation that is beneficial to both your revenue floor and the agronomics of organic production.
Looking for Advice?
As outlined above, crop insurance can provide wonderful revenue guarantees for many organic crops IF it is structured correctly. If you are seeking out advice on crop insurance, both AgriSecure and FBN Crop Insurance are eager to help. While AgriSecure is not a licensed crop insurance provider, we can help you understand different crop options and rotations and prepare questions to ask a crop insurance agent.
FBN Crop Insurance, on the other hand, is committed to providing the best service possible on all crop acres — including transition and organic!

NEW YORK — The SiriusXM satellite radio network is launching a channel inspired by topical comics like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher that seeks to attract younger listeners by bringing an entertaining twist to politics and policy discussions.
SiriusXM Insight is scheduled to begin operating Jan. 12, replacing the current channel SiriusXM Public Radio. The current channel was deemed repetitive since the service already carries National Public Radio.
"We're going to look at issues in a slightly edgier, more youthful way than traditional public radio has done in the past," said Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer at SiriusXM.
Insight is the brainchild of current Sirius host Pete Dominick, who used to warm up the audience at "The Colbert Report." Dominick will host a three-hour morning show at Insight. Comic John Fugelsang will have a weekday afternoon show and Muslim-American comedian Dean Obeidallah will be featured once a week.
While some comics aren't comfortable talking politics for much more than a few monologue jokes, people like Stewart and John Oliver can have intelligent discussions on serious topics, Dominick said.
"Comedians are able to get a point across and talk about issues that might be boring and make them more interesting," Dominick said. The radio shows "will be honest and really unpredictable, and I don't think 'unpredictable' is a word that Wolf Blitzer and Terry Gross get to use."
Insight will also give a platform to a variety of other commentators with different perspectives and specialties. Neil deGrasse Tyson will have a daily show merging science and pop culture. Journalist Karen Hunter will have a two-hour nightly talk show. A rabbi will talk about Jewish issues and an expert on transcendental meditation will have a weekly show on stress relief. Republican activist Margaret Hoover will host a daily call-in show.
Hoover, the great-granddaughter of former President Herbert Hoover, leads the American Unity Fund and PAC, two organizations that promote Republicans who support gay marriage. Her husband, The Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief John Avlon, hosts his own weekly show summarizing some of that website's best stories.
Hoover said she'll try to offer a conservative perspective without being hemmed in by orthodoxy. For instance, she recently wrote a column calling for law enforcement to examine their tactics in response to concerns by black Americans, a topic she said many in her party are reluctant to address.
"We're trying to get toward the truth," she said. "Nobody owns it — no party, no political system."
Some features currently on SiriusXM Public Radio, including the best of "Car Talk" and "The Bob Edwards Show," will continue on Insight.
SiriusXM says it currently has more than 27 million subscribers, although it does not release information about the popularity of individual channels or shows.

People tell me all the time that my website is out of date. This has been going on for years. I love you for going to my website and even caring whether it's out of date, but my website is NOT out of date. The way WordPress lays it out is that you have to look at the page called CALENDAR to see where I'm playing. I mean, maybe I'll just start posting date lists on the front page; I can imagine this very text being, instead, a list of my concert dates. That would make a lot of sense. Okay, I will start doing that. Thank you very much. Much love.

Your website is not out of date. The rest of the world just hasn't caught up to it.
Would you please share more details about your gigs in Ontario next month? I was very pleased to find out you are alighting in my neck of the woods and I just want to make sure I won't miss your show.

Miss Julia Paige has transformed herself into Tinkerbell almost without cease... we have managed to put her in real clothes for leaving the house about 75% of the time.
a few of her best moments:
Tinkerbell on the drums

Tinkerbell waiting for her clothes to come out of the dryer...

Taronga's vibrant Squirrel Monkey group has a new baby. Keen-eyed visitors can spot the tiny male holding on to mum, Lena, like a tiny furry backpack as she leaps around the exhibit.
The youngster has been named Julio and keepers say he and Lena are doing extremely well.
This is the first infant to be born out of the introduction of Taronga's male, Chico, to 12 female Squirrel Monkeys from France last year through the regional breeding program. Primate keeper, Suzie Lemon, says: "Lena and baby are doing amazingly well. A lot of the female Squirrel Monkeys have been interacting with the baby, and our two oldest Squirrel Monkeys, Ayaca and Squirius, have been showing a lot of interest by vocalising at him and rubbing up against him."
Although just two weeks old, Squirrel Monkeys develop very quickly. "He has already been seen climbing on ropes by himself with all four legs, with just his tail holding onto mum.
"In the next few weeks we'll see other females start to carry him around and nanny him a bit, then he'll slowly start to explore on his own," said Suzie. Another youngster, Carlos, can still be seen riding on his mother Lalosa's back despite being almost the same size as her. "Carlos is eating what everyone else eats now. He loves insects, fruit and vegetables but still suckles from mum occasionally. Whenever he's scared he'll jump on her back." "The other day Carlos was reaching out and touching the baby wanting to play and interact him. We're hoping they'll be jumping around the tree tops together very soon."
Squirrel Monkeys are one of the smallest of the primates and are found in the wild in Central and South America where they can live in groups of up to 500.
The Bolivian Squirrel Monkey is not threatened, however other species of Squirrel Monkey such as those in Costa Rica and Panama face threats due to deforestation and fragmentation and the illegal pet trade.
Australian travellers are encouraged to report illegal wildlife trafficking using the Wildlife Witness app. The app is a free download and enables travellers to report suspicious activity.
Come and see the Squirrel Monkeys at map reference L9, just behind the Alligators.

In the labor market, the simple dynamics of supply and demand apply. When everyone has the same qualifications, then having them is not much of an advantage. Think how you can differentiate yourself. You may become an expert in a … Continue reading →

High availability and uptime have become very important for websites and applications. Solving downtime issues should be taken care of quickly to avoid losing any visitors or profit when it comes to business websites. Fortunately, there are services that monitor websites, databases and servers around the clock and inform website administrators within minutes when something is not working as expected.
Although being a pricy service, Pingdom is one of the most popular uptime monitoring services. The time it takes for Pingdom to detect that your website is down is very short, and their downtime reports are accurate. Pingdom has been said to sometimes report false positives for downtime, but nowadays it's possible to specify after how many failed attempts a downtime notification should be sent. This allows for a perfect balance between speed and reliability in downtime reporting.
Uptime Robot
Uptime Robot is, and promises to always be, a free monitoring service. It can be used to monitor up to 50 websites or services, such as MySQL databases, for free. Uptime Robot started as a completely free service, but since then they have added paid plans for bigger organizations who need more than 50 monitors for their infrastructure.
Uptime Robot can be used to host a public status page, which can be customized by developers thanks to their simple API.
Being released in 1999, Nagios is a rather dated-looking monitoring service. Despite the user interface looking old, Nagios is still a very popular choice for companies as their downtime monitor. What makes Nagios a little different from the other services in this list is that the Nagios Core is a self-hosted service. It takes some more effort to install and get started with Nagios, but after the initial setup, Nagios offers a secure, internal infrastructure monitor.
Many companies choose Nagios to monitor servers that cannot be accessed directly from the Internet or services that a company wants to keep private.
StatusCake is a freemium service with both free and paid plans. All of their plans come with unlimited monitors, including their free community edition, which is limited by a slower check rate. Some of the advanced features have also been disabled from the free edition, but the community edition still offers a great starting points for small websites.
The paid plans come with a 30-second check rate and multiple locations that will be used to check for downtime. This prevents false positives caused by worldwide traffic routing issues.Web application uptime monitoring,

Via the Daily Herald:
Students, many wearing the color green, filled the gymnasium of South Middle School in Arlington Heights Tuesday to promote organ donation and remember a classmate's brother who has helped save lives.
Taylor Petrillo, 14, launched the effort to honor the memory of his 27-year-old brother, Matthew, who died in September. The South eighth-grader organized an all-school assembly for National Donate Life Month after working for months with the principal, teachers and student council.
Via the Chicago Tribune:
Taylor Petrillo, an eighth-grader at South Middle School, said his favorite memory with his older brother, Matthew, was going to the arcade.
The brothers would play the same game, the one they knew would give them the most tickets, Petrillo said. They saved the tickets in a shoe box and planned to turn them in for a big prize, he said.
They never had the chance to turn the tickets in because the prize they wanted required "too many tickets," Petrillo said.
Matthew died in September 2018 at the age of 27, Petrillo said. What he family didn't know, is that Matthew had registered to be an organ donor.
South Middle School held a "Green Out Day" assembly Tuesday to raise what organizers and school officials called awareness, honor and recognition of the value of organ donation — all as part of National Organ Donor Month.

Li Hua
He sports a brief brown mackerel tabby coating and generally weighs a healthy 8.5 to 11 lbs or more. This is an intelligent cat that usually creates a stable attachment to individuals.
|Energy Level
|Affection Level
|Child Friendly
|Health Issues
|Dog Friendly
|Shedding Level
|Social Needs
|Stranger Friendly
This alluring cat has a broad, diamond-shaped mind and big, almond-shaped eyes of green (favoured), yellow or brownish. He is sturdy with a solid body, large paws and tail.
The Li Hua has a reputation as a superb ratter — a significant task for Oriental cats — and this capacity is even known from the breed standard, which states"No rat could escape its sharp claw, nimble body and robust throat."
The strain's purported agility can also be described in the breed standard:"The Li Hua ought to have the ability to jump from the air and turn around two before landing." Get that cat a place in an Olympic gymnastics team!
The Li Hua is generally a people-loving kitty with a fantastic disposition. He could be a devoted companion to respectful and adults kids equally.
Li Hua celebrities in a television show created in China. The Li Hua's jacket has ticked hair black in origin, lighter at the center and brown in the tip. Chinese owners are proven to maintain weddings to get Li Hua cats.
We usually think about cats as having been in Egypt, but a new archaeological discovery could put their domesticated beginnings at a surprisingly different location: China. As per a report from the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an analysis of cats residing 5,300 years back from the American village of Quanhucun supplies the oldest known evidence of a commensal relationship between people and cats, meaning that they dwelt together compatibly.
These ancient cats might have been the ancestors of this Li Hua. The cats are located throughout China and also have been cited in older books and other written records. Their job was to capture rats and protect plants and grain. The Li Hua is a pure strain, not the consequence of hybridization between a few breeds.
Though its roots could be historical, the Li Hua as a pedigreed cat is comparatively young. Sad to say, the strain didn't catch on, and also the CFA no more takes the pressure for championship status.
He has a gentle disposition and functions as a household caretaker, not just of individuals but also other cats. He tends to get together with puppies when introduced.
How smart is your Li Hua? The Li Hua is believed to have a fantastic memory and an analytical character. To put it differently, he will figure out things, which means you might need to work to remain a step ahead of him.
Like many cats, the Li Hua will love having an enclosed outside a place where he could climb or lie outside in sunlight, but he should not be permitted to roam.
All cats can develop a health issue, but now no known breed-related ailments impact the Li Hua. Nevertheless, it is a fantastic idea to find a breeder that offers a health warranty on kittens, and that raises them at the house so that they are well socialized and shielded against diseases that may be picked up from free-roaming cats.
Bear in mind that once you take a new kitty into your house, you can shield him from among the most famous feline health issues: obesity. Maintaining a Li Hua in a proper burden is just one of the more straightforward methods to safeguard his general wellbeing.
The Li Hua includes a short coat without a thick undercoat. Brush it keep the coat glossy, remove dead hairs and also help prevent hairballs.
Brush his teeth frequently with a vet-approved pet toothpaste and program veterinary dental cleanings as necessary. Start cleaning, nail trimming and teeth cleaning early, which means that your kitty learns to take these actions.
Locating a Li Hua
Whether or not you would like to go for a breeder or receive your cat from a shelter or rescue, here are a few things to remember.
First things first: This kitty is very uncommon in the USA. Do not rely on being able to get one with no very long wait. If you're bringing a cat or kitty back from China, then he'll have to get an International Health Certificate from a veterinarian stating that he's healthy and in great shape to be transported by air. This form isn't necessary for entry to the U.S. but might be required by the airline or from particular countries. The cat might also need a valid rabies vaccination certificate unless he's from a place that's regarded as free from rabies, is more than four weeks or is travelling into a condition that doesn't need the Accreditation. The vaccine ought to be provided at least 30 days before death. With the exclusion of Hawaii and Guam, There Is Absolutely No quarantine for pets coming in the U.S. from abroad. You could have to complete some form or gift your paperwork customs before leaving with your furry friend. Your cat might also be inspected on entry and may be denied when he shows signs of infectious illness or another sickness.
You need your Li Hua to become healthy and happy so that you can enjoy your time together with him do your homework before you bring him home.
Place at least just as much effort into exploring your kitty as you'd into selecting a new automobile or expensive appliance.
A respectable breeder will abide by a code of ethics which prohibits sales to pet shops and wholesalers and summarizes the breeder's duties to their cats and also to buyers. Opt for a breeder that has completed the health certifications required to screen out genetic health issues to the extent that's possible, even as one who increases kittens in her property. Kittens that are isolated may become scared and invisibly and might be hard to interact later in life.
Most respectable breeders have sites, so how do you tell who is right and who is not? Red flags include kittens regularly available, multiple litters on the assumptions, getting your selection of any kitty and the capability to pay online using the credit card. These things are suitable, but they're almost never connected with reputable breeders.
Whether you are likely to receive your feline buddy from a breeder, a pet shop or a different source, remember that the adage"let the buyer beware." Disreputable breeders and unhealthy catteries can be strict to differentiate from reputable operations. There is no 100% guaranteed way to ensure you will not ever buy a sick kitty, but exploring the strain (so you understand exactly what to expect), checking out the center (to determine unhealthy conditions or ill animals) and asking the ideal questions can cut the odds of heading to a catastrophic situation. And do not forget to ask your vet, who will often consult with a respectable breeder, breed rescue company or other trusted resource for healthy kittens.
Be patient. Based on what you're searching for, you might need to wait six weeks or longer for the correct kitty to become accessible. Many breeders will not launch kittens to new homes until they involve 12 and 16 months old.
Before you get a kitten, think about whether a grownup Li Hua could be a better option for your lifestyle. Kittens are plenty of fun, but they are also a great deal of work and may be harmful until they attain somewhat more sedate adulthood. Having an adult, you learn more about what you are getting concerning character and health. If you're thinking about getting an adult cat rather than a kitten, ask breeders about buying retired breeding or show cat or should they are aware of an adult cat that needs a new house.
Adopting a Cat out of a Li Hua Rescue Group or some Shelter
The Li Hua isn't your regular shelter cat. However, occasionally a pedigreed cat ends up in a shelter or a foster home after dropping his house into an owner's death, divorce or change in economic circumstance.
Below are a few pointers that will assist you to find and embrace the ideal cat from a rescue group or shelter.
Utilize the Internet
Websites like Petfinder and AdoptAPet.com may have you Looking for a Li Hua on your area Very Quickly. AnimalShelter.org will be able to assist you in finding animal rescue groups locally.
Social networking is just another fantastic way to discover a cat. An article in your own FB webpage or Twitter feed which you're seeking a particular breed for your whole community may be your ears and eyes.
Start speaking with pet experts locally about your desire to get a Li Hua. Whenever someone needs to make the difficult choice to give a kitty, that individual will frequently request her personal trusted community for recommendations.
Speak to Breed Rescue
Networking can help you locate a cat which could be an ideal companion for the loved ones. Most people who adore Li Hua enjoy all Li Hua. That is why breed clubs have rescue organizations dedicated to taking good care of displaced cats.
Essential Questions to Ask
At this point you know what to go over using a breeder, however, additionally, there are questions you need to talk about with shelter or rescue team volunteers or staff until you bring home a kitty. These include:
- How is he about other creatures?
- How does he react to shield employees, visitors and kids?
- What is his character like?
- What's his age?
- Has he bitten or scratched anyone they know of?
Wherever you get your Li Hua, then be sure to get a ridiculous contract with the vendor, shelter or rescue team that spells out duties on either side. Petfinder provides an Adopter's Bill of Rights that can help you understand what you're able to consider appropriate and healthy once you receive a cat out of a shelter. In nations with pet lemon laws, make sure you and the individual who you have the cat out of understanding your rights and recourses.
Kitten or grownup, take your Li Hua for a vet shortly after adoption. Your vet Will Have the Ability to spot issues and work together with you to Establish a preventative regimen which can help you prevent many health Problems.

I have a theory that dementia, perhaps even Alzheimers, is caused by a lack of mental growth.
So what can be done to avoid getting dementia and Alzheimers? To answer that question we need look to those individuals with tremendous mental growth … we need to look to children.
Think about, say, a 3 year old child. Every day hundreds, perhaps thousands, of new information enters through all five senses: sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste. Every day he experiences things that he has never experienced in his life.
Contrast with adults. There is probably not a single thing that we see, smell, touch, hear, or taste that we haven't already experienced before, hundreds or thousands of times.
No new input = no mental growth.
No mental growth = stagnation (a.k.a. dementia, Alzheimers).
Can we be like a child again? That is, can we put ourselves in situations where we are confronted with sights, smells, feelings, sounds, tastes that we have never experienced before? And can we do that every day? (And still have a job)
A friend, somewhat jokingly suggested:
I don't know anything about boating. If someone were to drop me into a boat in the middle of the ocean, then I would be forced to quickly learn about navigation, ocean currents, weather, and a bunch of other things very quickly. I'd probably die.
I'd prefer not to be in situations where I might die.
I want to hear your thoughts on this: how do you put yourself in absolutely new situations?

Stock your library with multiple copies of as many nominated books as you can. When kids read the same book at the same time, spontaneous book conversations start happening. If your classroom budget doesn't support it, consider getting creative to fund it.
Crowdfunding for classrooms is becoming increasingly popular. Both Donors Choose and PledgeCents are platforms built specifically for funding classroom needs. If you submit a project to one of those sites, make sure to highlight how the Idaho Book Award will give your students new opportunities to connect about the books they read.

phantom vibrations
Phantom vibrations is a phenomenon in which a person believes their mobile phone is ringing or vibrating against their body when the device isn't actually ringing or vibrating. Also referred to as phantom vibration syndrome or phantom vibration sensations, phantom vibrations and phantom ringing have become quite common in the mobile age with the proliferation of mobile phone use.
In one recent study (Science Direct) nearly 90% of undergraduates surveyed had experienced phantom vibrations at a rate of roughly once every two weeks on average. Also known colloquially by terms such as ringxiety or fauxcellarm, phantom vibration experiences can be disconcerting at times and even bothersome to a small minority of smartphone users, but they are not believed to pose any true health risks.
What Causes Phantom Vibration Sensations?
Phantom vibrations are believed to originate as part of the human brain's ability to attempt to fill in gaps in order to find patterns. Phantom sensations can be triggered when receptors pick up enough physical and/or auditory signals similar to a cell phone's vibrating or ringing alert and then prompt a learned association and the perception of a phone vibration or ringing.

Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido warned President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday that any attempts to bring forward parliamentary elections would end in "disaster" for the government.
Elections to renew the National Assembly, the only branch of government under opposition control, are set for December 2020.
But the Constituent Assembly, a rival body created by the Maduro government and given extraordinary powers superseding the National Assembly, has hinted at the possibility of ordering early elections.
Such a move could threaten the opposition's hold on the National Assembly and with it Guaido's claim as head of the legislature to be the country's self-interim president.
"What would happen if the regime dared to — and it could — bring forward an irregular convocation for elections without any conditions?" said Guaido.
"They will drown in contradictions, in isolation — they will drown in disaster."

- At the beginning of September, we worked with Clean Energy Trust to release the second annual survey Clean Jobs Midwest. This report showed that the clean energy job growth across the Midwest – from renewable energy to energy efficiency – is occurring almost SIX times faster than overall job growth in the region. Over 70 press outlets throughout the Midwest talked about the report and the findings were amplified by elected across the political spectrum including two Republican Governors, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner.
- Since the release of Clean Jobs Midwest, we've been able to reinforce an important message in the media and with elected officials, that the Midwest clean energy economy is strong and growing! We've published op-eds in Iowa, Michigan and Missouri that highlight our clean energy jobs data.
- In December, we held a celebration of clean energy job growth in Illinois with Governor Rauner. We had a over 70 people turn out, press came from all major TV outlets and we got the Governor on record supporting clean energy after nearly a year of silence on the issue. We're confident his statements will provide support as we work to implement and strengthen our clean energy policies in Illinois and beyond.

Intercontinental Grouping of Accountants and Lawyers
The Intercontinental Grouping of Accountants and Lawyers (IGAL) is a leading private intercontinental network for lawyers and accountants.
In this section:
About IGAL
IGAL was founded in 2004 as a result of a merger of two networks dating back to 1976, and currently operates in over 45 countries.
IGAL'S purpose is to enable its members to provide to their clients international legal, auditing and accountancy services of the highest standard in different jurisdictions and to generate business opportunities for the members and their clients across the world.
Our involvement
We have been involved with IGAL for over 18 years and Senior Partner, Jane Laidler, was elected as the network's President in 2018:
"Greenwoods GRM is well known for its international expertise, particularly for clients from the German-speaking countries, the US, Italy and South Korea.
I have been fortunate enough to see IGAL and its network grow in line with our own expansion. IGAL enables us to develop and extend our international relationships through this leading network of professionals from across the globe."
The next generation
Most recently, the focus of the IGAL Board has been to encourage the next generation of professionals to get involved – key to IGAL in the same way as it is to Greenwoods GRM.
IGAL now runs an 'exchange programme' to facilitate opportunities for staff and partners of member firms to visit and/or to host visitors from other member firms. We are eager to take advantage of this opportunity, and several of our employees have already been involved with the Network.

Heart-Shaped Bruises

I struggled a lot with who I was. I was always trying to find myself. Always trying to figure out where I fit in and where I belonged. My life had been subject to people telling me who I was or was not. I was trying to just be accepted and loved by others.
I never saw myself through the eyes of God. I didn't know that the only one I needed to belong to was God. I didn't know that all the validation I sought from people could be found in Jesus.
I always wonder if knowing the truth earlier could have saved me from some very difficult experiences. If I truly knew my worth, could certain mistakes have been avoided? I have spent and wasted a lot of time in the chair of regret. I have sat down and looked back at my life and tried so many times to erase my past. I have taken better decisions in hindsight. I lived in the past for so long and it almost completely choked my future. My future was not so bright as I based it on my past. My past directed everything.
My relationship with God took the worst hit. I was always sure that he disapproved of the person I was. I realised that it also meant that my prayer life was greatly affected because I was always "wondering". I wondered if I had the right to ask for certain things in prayer. I wondered if I could be sad if God didn't answer my prayers. I wondered if God even heard me at all. I wondered if God found me worthy to be used for his purpose.
I was so sure that I was not the type of person God would want to use for ANYTHING. I was even accepting this fact and I was just content to know I was not going to go to hell. I dared not expect God to find me useful for his purpose. There are so many people that are better than I am, who didn't make the mistakes that I did, who fast and pray more than me, they spend way more time "serving" God than me, so who was I to think God could think of me as more than I thought of myself. A broken girl, with so much baggage who was just fortunate to enjoy the grace of God that Christ paid for. For a very long time, that was enough for me. I dared not ask for more.
Then God started to speak to me. He started to tell me the great heights he wanted to take me to. When I refused to hear him because it was too good to be true, he started to send people to me to tell me the same things and once again I never let my heart be open to accepting this gift of a second chance. This gift to me was so much more than I had accepted about myself. I started to believe it was all a figment of my imagination. I started to think the people who brought this good news were just trying to make me feel good about myself. Then one day God caught my attention.
He started to tell me that I was looking at him with "small eye". I was limiting his power in my life. I didn't realise his power and ability to use the messiest and most broken human to create a beautiful message. I didn't realise that the blood of Jesus meant that every mess that I thought I was had been completely washed clean. The mess that I thought I was no longer existed and through that mess he wanted to share his light. He reminded me of his word that says: "God is able to make all things work together for good" and that included the mess that my life had been. I wasn't seeing God but I was seeing me. I also had forgotten that he created me in his image so that my so – called "ugliness" he saw as perfect and beautiful. He was not judging me as I thought I deserved because in his eyes, the blood of Jesus had made me faultless and blameless. Not because of anything I had done but because his righteousness was a complete gift. Nothing I did or will ever do could have made me deserving of his Grace.
The more he spoke to me the more I understood that I will never be able to give back to God all that he has given to me. I had wrongly assumed that somehow my works could make me worthy of his love and the life he blessed me with. Every time I did the wrong thing I immediately fell under the burden of guilt, condemnation and shame. I thought that my "works" could somehow erase my past. I was always trying to prove to God that I deserved his blessings because I thought that was what could guarantee my freedom. Instead the works held me under more bondage because no matter how hard I tried I was constantly "failing". I could never seem to get it right. I was always doing something wrong and I became judge and master of my own life. There was no space for what the blood of Jesus had done and instead of pleading the blood, I pleaded my "works". "Dear God, I know I used to mess up, but look at me now, I am doing everything right. Why isn't my life still perfect? Why are you still angry with me? What else can I do?" I didn't know that the more I said this, the less I was free because my freedom was not about my works but by the "truth". 'And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free".
This is the simple truth: God knew well in advance that I could not keep up my end of the bargain. He knew in advance that I would make many wrong and bad decisions. He knew in advance that I would run from him in guilt and shame. He knew in advance I would consider myself unworthy and try to work my way to earn his grace. And because he knew all this in advance he sent his word. And his word was Christ. The lamb upon the throne. The blood of the lamb is what was shed in advance for me. So that when I needed to, I could plead the blood and that gives me the confidence to approach the throne of God's beautiful and mighty grace.
I have finally come to realise who I am. I am the daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD. My Father is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it and he gave me dominion over it all. I am of a heavenly realm. I reign on this earth. I share an inheritance with Christ. I have finally come to accept that I was made for greatness, for signs and wonders. My Light is meant to shine and not be hidden. I have the power to decree a thing and it WILL established. I have finally accepted who I always was. I am…..

Persistent, Professional Commercial Collections Law Firm
We believe in the "broken windows" theory of law enforcement as it applies to collections and judgments. What that means is you have to be tough on small infractions because they lead to large infractions. There are some collections firms that will take on any matter, hoping to settle for pennies on the dollar. We take on matters we believe in, and we fight to receive what is legitimately owed under the law, including interest and legal fees.
Commercial Debt Collection
CEO realizes there is $300,000 in contracts where the services were received without objection but the client firms never paid. Ad Agency's standard contract requires client firms to pay Ad Agency's legal fees, so Ad Agency is able to recover what they are owed without cost to their firm. Ad Agency will likely see a nice boost in revenues immediately as some firms usually pay as soon as they get the legal letter, some firms are likely to pay as soon as we sue, and some firms are likely to pay eventually when a judgment is entered against them.
Typical Commercial Debt Collection Cases #1:
Ad Agency is trying to raise cash to invest in a new project
Three years ago there were eight units more than 60 days behind on their rent of which five units were more than 90 days behind and two units were more than 180 days behind. Owner hired a "tough" law firm to get control of the situation. There are now twelve units more than 90 days behind and 8 units more than 180 days behind. Owner's cash flow is being depleted, the sales/collateral value of his building is going down, and Owner cannot afford to maintain the building the way the paying Tenants expect it to be maintained. Tenants are non-renewing. Owner decides he needs a truly professional collections firm on the case, not a tough-talking real estate lawyer.
Typical Commercial Debt Collection Cases #2:
Owner has a sixty unit commercial building in Brooklyn.
Many physician groups purchased it. Some physicians ran into hard times. Their groups broke up, they were dropped by major insurance carriers, they lost key hospital affiliations, or some other unfortunate event occurred. They ceased making payments. Equipment Manufacturer needs a good, professional commercial finance and collections firm to make sure their newly sold equipment is properly secured, to guard their equipment and financial rights in bankruptcy cases, and to foreclose on practices and groups that refuse to pay, as well as collect any deficiencies in court.
Typical Commercial Debt Collection Cases #3:
Equipment Manufacturer makes a cosmetic medical device popular with physicians.
Commercial Judgment Enforcement
OOSLF now needs a professional collections firm to properly discover, attach and levy on NYSC's assets before they are all moved out of reach and become far harder and more costly to collect on.
Typical Judgment Enforcement Cases #1:
Out-of-State Law Firm ("OOSLF") sued New York State Corporation (NYSC) in Wisconsin and won a $350,000 judgment.
Jack locked Jill out of the business and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to Jill. Jill sued and won a $650,000 judgment. Jack immediately gifted a paid-off $350,000 rental property to his daughter and took a $450,000 loan against his paid off home, stashing the money in a Florida LLC and in various retirement accounts. Jill needs a professional, skilled commercial collections firm skilled in judgment enforcement to cancel out his illegal transactions and lock up the funds before he fully depletes them.
Typical Judgment Enforcement Cases #2:
Jack and Jill are business partners.
She is entitled to a $150,000 commission which she never received. She sued and got a judgment which was entered as a lien on the building. She now wishes to foreclose on the lien to collect her commission. She needs a highly effective, professional commercial collections firm to achieve her goals.
Typical Judgment Enforcement Cases #3:
Larisa is a commercial real estate broker who found a major tenant for Landlord.

Surprising, Vibrant Reef Discovered in the Muddy Amazon
Yet, already, a threat to this new reef is emerging. At least 35 sections of the continental shelf were acquired by Brazilian or transnational companies for oil exploration, up to 20 of which may soon be producing oil near the reefs."Such large-scale industrial activities present a major environmental challenge, and companies should catalyze a more complete social-ecological assessment of the system before impacts become extensive and conflicts among the stakeholders escalate," the new study recommends.

Origins Game Fair Recap by Rick Ankney
One of the events I look forward to every year is attending Origins Game Fair, as a exhibitor it is one of the best opportunities to engage with the fans of the Tabletop Hobby.
Seeing the smiles from everyone who is enjoying themselves, finding new treasures for their gaming tables back home, and just enjoying the experience of play, that is such a fundamental part of the Origins experience. Being set up to do interviews and broadcast some of our original content from the show floor was also a great time. Seeing some of the great games that were being offered at the show, and some that were being announced for later in the year is always a special treat for me and those that not only watch our programming, but that are in attendance at the show itself.
Some particularly fun highlights for me were sitting down with Greater Than Games and trying out "Medium", it was such fun and I quickly realized I cannot read minds. Also getting to paint a bunch of fun new product on "Painting Happy Lil Minis" from Wizkids, CMON, Gale Force Nine, and Renegade Games was also a highlight. So many experiences, interactions, and adventures were had this year, that I totally feel like I leveled up.
