The Shroom Boom
Posted by MELINDA NELSON on
I'm talking the adaptogenic kind.
What are adaptogens you ask? Adaptogens are often found in herbs and mushrooms and they're known for their ability help your body combat stress. They are a great way to bring your stress levels to homeostasis. This concept has been around for centuries in eastern and Ayurveda medicine, but the trend is just now finding it's way over to western shores.
Reishi, cordyceps, and turkey tail. Probably words you're not familiar with. Honestly, the first time I heard them I was convinced I was hearing a foreign language. These three mushrooms are the most common type of mushrooms consumed (that is, if you consider consuming mushrooms common).
My first encounter with mushrooms was with reishi. I heard the benefits from a friend and immediately went to the nearest supermarket to buy it. I wanted it for it's anti-inflammatory effects, but when I heard what else it does, I had to keep taking it. It slows down aging, prevents cancer, detoxes the liver, and honestly so much more. I take my reishi in the form of hot tea. It does have an earthy taste so putting it with your morning matcha or morning smoothie is also a great option.
Cordyceps is my go-to, cure-all mushroom when I feel any type of cold, fever, or upset stomach coming on. It's known as the "all-illnesses" mushroom. I take cordyceps the same way I take my reishi or ashwagandha.
Turkey Tail
The claims on this one are bold, but with what I know of mushrooms, I believe the claims to be truth. Turkey tail has been recognized to help cancer patients, specifically the ones undergoing chemotherapy. The consumption of it helps patients recover quicker by strengthening the weakened immune system and helps protect from the formation of new cancer cells. It also helps reduce herpes and HPV infections. It is prebiotic and helps regulate your microbiome. Turkey tail comes in powder, pill, or tincture form.
I've come to realize that trends happen for a reason. Mushrooms have been around for years and who knows what good they could do for your health. Try incorporating them into your morning routine and see how your health takes a turn for the better.

E3 '07: Napoleon Dynamite Hands-On
We ready our nunchaku skills and dive headfirst into Crave's upcoming handheld adaptation of the cult classic comedy. Gosh!
Weird movies are getting made into games. Specifically, weird movies made by Jared Hess are getting made into games. Last year, it was a DS adaptation of Nacho Libre. This year, Napoleon Dynamite is coming to the PSP and DS. Now, we know what you're thinking. How the heck do you make Napoleon Dynamite into a game? It was barely even a movie! Well, quite simply, you toss together a bunch of minigames themed after segments and key comedic moments from the film. Then you put it all together with a sort of kooky cut-and-paste style of animation to call it a game.
By now, you're probably already racking your brains trying to think of clever segments from the film that could be turned into a minigame. Is there a Napoleon dancing game? Is there some kind of Uncle Rico football throwing game? At any point do you have to feed Tina? Yes, yes, yes, and more! The DS version of the game is going to include 24 unique minigames, while the PSP version will have 30. The version we played was the PSP version, and we got to try out all of the above games, as well as a couple more than those mentioned.
First off, the big gun: the Napoleon dancing game. Think Parappa the Rapper. Button and D pad icons skirt across the screen as Napoleon dances; by pressing the buttons in time, Napoleon will do some sweet moves. The timing is actually quite precise, and in the later stages of the game, the presses become extremely fast. The next game, the Uncle Rico football toss, is sort of like all those mobile launching games that have been the rage in recent years. You first set the angle of your toss by hitting the X button at the right moment that a meter goes up and down. Then you set the power of your toss by doing the same thing. Rico goes first, and your goal is to beat his distance. Along the way, you'll find trampolines to boost your toss, and mud pits that slow you down. The Tina feeding game is a game of dodging and shooting. You fire casserole at Tina while trying to avoid her bullets of spit, and she can spit plenty.
The other two games involved Kip's elite hacker skills and the ill-advised purchase of a mail-order time machine by Uncle Rico. In Kip's game, you have to select and rotate a series of computer circuits to get Kip's signal to a library computer while avoiding pitfalls along the way. The time-machine game has you connecting circuits as well, though in this game, you pick the circuit pieces off of a table and connect them to a board. The goal is to use every circuit and get from one side of the board to the other. These two games struck us as being markedly more challenging than the others we played.
With a lot of minigames and a quirky art style, Napoleon Dynamite may just prove to be an amusing distraction for fans of the film. There's no voiced dialogue in the game, but the minigames will be book-ended by text-based cutscenes that include plenty of new jokes in the Napoleon Dynamite vein. We'll be sure to bring you more on Napoleon Dynamite in the coming weeks.

Dinner Lab is now offering free memberships
They specialize in surprising, dramatic affairs staged out of unusual locations: airplane hangars, boats, vacant warehouses, rooftops. Half the fun is in not knowing — passion lies in the mystery, you know. Dinner Lab's "nomadic dining experiences with rotating chefs" landed in the Twin Cities about a year ago, but it seems like our sensible Nordic ways may have challenged their original structure. The standard membership fee of about $125 annually proved to be too much of a "barrier to entry." So, they say they're doing away with that — at least in part.
Now, if you're a curious Dinner Lab guest, you can attend for just the cost of an individual event, which is usually about $60. It includes entry, food, libations, and gratuity. Or, if you're more of a committed sort who likes to know things before everyone else, or who likes perks (you've got a wallet full of punch cards, don't you?), then you can buy a membership.
Members get notifications about the group's events a week before the general public and invites to members-only happenings such as Dinner Lab happy hours, chef demos, classes, wine dinners, and more.
So pick your poison: exclusive membership dining, or not. Minneapolis memberships are $125, and members can also attend nationwide events at a discounted price.
The next Minneapolis event is scheduled for mid-February. Details have not been released yet, but keep an eye on the Dinner Lab website for more information as it becomes available.

Happy Rump Day 01072015
Well my morning started out with a great deal of teen attitude & sleepiness & grumpiness. Everyone went to sleep quickly last night and stayed asleep all night, but what a funk someone woke up in. With gentle guidance, we got out of the house on time but I was still hearing the grumpiness.
I have learned that playing my favorite songs instantly lifts my mood, so I put on Shake it Off, by Taylor Swift
and then Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.
My car was pumped with good, high energy by the time my son made me turn the music down as we entered the 100 yard perimeter of the school. We have to be silent long before the doors open and anyone might accidentally overhear me singing.
Just wanted to share how I energized my Rump Day!

Top Sacramento Realtor Tips About Working the Listing
As a top Sacramento Realtor, I don't always think about what I do, I just do it. But when I explain to sellers what I do, especially during a listing presentation, stuff comes out of my mouth that sometimes amazes even me because I'm not consciously coming up with those thoughts. They just flow from my day-to-day business operations. When I have to verbalize my actions, that creates a life experience to share with others.
Last week I met with sellers in South Land Park who had initially talked with me while I was on vacation in Mexico. They set aside 3 available appointment time: 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30. They planned to interview 3 top Sacramento Realtors referred to them by an agent friend from the Bay area. I told the seller I would take the first appointment because, after he talks with me, all the agents that follow my presentation will pale by comparison. That's not bragging, that's just the way I see it. And yes, they wisely decided to hire me.

LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) - A five-month delay in California's gubernatorial recall election could add millions of dollars to the $66 million election price tag by casting tens of thousands of already printed ballots into the trash can, the state's registrars say.
Registrars say they've spent up to two-thirds of their election budgets on sample ballots, voter information guides and the actual ballots to be used in the Oct. 7 contest.
In some cases, that represents millions of dollars in costs. The Los Angeles County Registrar, for example, already has spent $7 million of the $13 million allocated for the election.
"That obviously would be money gone. If this is canceled, we would have to repeat this process," said Kristine Heffron, the registrar's chief deputy.
Next time around, there would be added costs. It would be cheaper to have an Oct. 7 election, Heffron said, because the county is required to conduct the balloting in more polling places during the March presidential primary -- 4,200 vs. the 1,800 scheduled to be set up next month.
Los Angeles, using an optical scan device for balloting, won't be able to fit the presidential primary and recall on the same ballots. A new ballot will be needed for the recall, especially if most of the 135 original candidates stay in contention.
In Sacramento County, which houses the state's capital, $1 million of the $1.5 million allotted for the election is gone, said Jill La Vine, the county's registrar.
"Those are all funds that we cannot use again," La Vine said. "If this election is stopped, we've lost $1 million."
On top of that, if the election is delayed until March 2, the county may have to shell out another $1 million to reprint all the materials again. The reason: the ballot crowded with the names of 135 candidates could be too bulky for the new optical scan voting system that Sacramento is using in March.
"If it doesn't fit on one ballot, then I may have to go to two," she said.
Los Angeles and Sacramento are two counties that have to forego their traditional, and controversial, punch-card ballots to comply with new election laws.
Other counties aren't doing the same. San Diego County also had punch cards, but is using a touch screen in voting booths and a different type of optical scan for absentee voters that can fit both the presidential and recall ballots on one, said Sally McPherson, the county's registrar.
That means slapping the recall ballot onto the presidential election would result in minimal added expenses, McPherson said. But the county could still end up wasting $1.5 million in monies spent thus far if the recall is delayed, she said.
A three-judge panel at the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that the recall election must be postponed until all California counties are equipped with updated voting machines.
On Tuesday, the same court ordered that the parties return on Wednesday with arguments for or against holding the election on Oct. 7. An 11-judge panel is expected to make a further ruling on the matter.
The Secretary of State's office said it has not calculated how much in wasted funds and extra costs it expects from a delayed recall election. Officials have told county registrars to continue operating as if the election will be held Oct. 7.
It's unclear how many counties face the prospect of having a double ballot on the March 2 election if the recall is pushed back, said Terri Carbaugh, spokeswoman for the secretary of state.
"It's much too soon to predict," Carbaugh said.

Detroit, Michigan Car Donations
Breast Cancer Car Donations in Detroit, Michigan
You may not know it, but an act as simple as making Detroit, Michigan car donations can make a huge impact in the fight against breast cancer. With Breast Cancer Car Donations, discovering a cure for the deadly disease should not sound impossible anymore. Here's why.
In partnership with several trusted nonprofits that specialize in breast cancer, we have set the ultimate goal of finding ways to end the devastating illness that has already taken so many lives. By contributing to our Detroit, Michigan car donations program, you will be doing your part. The funds that will be generated from the auction of your donated automobile will enable these organizations to pursue further research, such as the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Instead of going through the complicated process of selling your car, why not just get rid of it for a worthwhile cause by offering it to Breast Cancer Car Donations? Show these women and their families that you truly care about their wellbeing.
The Motor City
Detroit is billed as the Motor City for a number of reasons. Apart from being the birthplace of the automobile industry, it's also the top manufacturer of motor vehicles in the country. The city is likewise responsible for the development of the world's first four-way traffic light, as well as the construction of the first paved roadway.
Aside from the fact that Detroit is a pioneer in the automobile industry, there are lots of fascinating things about Michigan's largest city as well.
- The Detroit River is actually a strait that connects Lake Huron and Lake Eric.
- K-mart is the product of Detroit.
- Bowling is Detroit's number one sport, with the city having set the record for the most registered bowlers in the nation.
- Another title for the city would be the Potato Chip Capital, as it holds the record for having the biggest number of potato chip consumers in the country.
- It is the only city with a floating post office, the J.W. Westcott II, which also happens to have its own zip code.
- A salt mine can be found just below the surface of the city's streets.
- Detroit is the first city to come up with the idea of assigning individual telephone numbers.
A Quick and Convenient Way to Donate
By choosing to contribute to Breast Cancer Car Donations, you will actually be helping yourself as well. Not only will you be receiving huge tax incentives, you will also find comfort in a donation process that's very efficient and fast. All it takes is for you to contact us, let us know that you're ready to do your share in Detroit, Michigan car donations, and then leave everything else to us.
To give you an overview, this is how our donation process basically works:
- You contact us. You can either call us at 866-540-5069 or fill out our form found below.
- You provide us a few details, including the make and model of your vehicle. A scheduled date will then be arranged for its towing. And, no, you won't be spending even a single dime for it, and you don't have to be around at the time of pickup.
- Your vehicle donation will be placed for auction. The proceeds will go directly to our partner nonprofits that are committed to finding a cure and treatment for breast cancer.
- A tax receipt will be mailed to you shortly after your vehicle is sold. The receipt frees you from maintaining your car's insurance and registration.
And that's everything you need to know about making Detroit, Michigan car donations with us. With a donation process as smooth as ours, there's no other reason for you to go looking for other car donation programs in Detroit, Michigan.

Cassette Review: YlangYlang "Mutualism" (Illuminated Paths)
[$7 // Edition of 25 // https://illuminatedpaths.bandcamp.com/album/mutualism]
I instantly recognized the name YlangYlang on the Illuminated Paths Bandcamp merch page because of a split with Hazy Montagne Mystique from Arachnidiscs that I immensely enjoyed called "Studies in Trance". It was just one of those pieces of music that seemed unworldly as it would take you to another place entirely and so I knew that when the opportunity presented itself to hear more from YlangYlang I had to take it.
The music of YlangYlang is actually all being made by one woman- Catherine Debard- but she is one amazing woman for being able to pull this off. And before we get into gender politics let me reassure you that this is an impressive work for any single *person* to create regardless of what they have between their legs. It just feels like an army of producers and artists should have put this one together. And I'm not going to name names here or anything, but there have been literal "teams" of such people putting together albums and trying to accomplish this sound which you can find here created by one person. It boggles the mind but is a true testament to the creativity and talent of YlangYlang.
There is no direct way to describe the music of YlangYlang as it can change from song to song. Sometimes the song is instrumental, sometimes there are vocals. The singing can sometimes be direct and seemingly spread across one path and at other times it can be layered to the point where you feel like an entire choir is singing. The music itself can have these ohm drones mixed with crashing windchimes (at least on the first song) and then beats come into play as well. It's part glo-fi and part chill. It's blissed out and the stuff that dreams are made of. In many ways, it also feels as if it is all going down in space.
Between The Lyndsay Diaries, The Stereo (for the more upbeat portions I would say) and Polly Scattergood there only a few influences I can pull out here because I don't want to be cliche and start naming artists who I think would fit into that "Of course you'd have to bring them up" category. But if you enjoyed the split YlangYlang did for Arachnidiscs then you are sure to be an instant fan of this as well. In some ways I feel like I used to be afraid to review multiple releases by an artist (something I've discussed in my other recent IP reviews) but now I feel like it kind of defines how great an artist is to me. It puts that artist more on my radar to where I feel like I want to listen to everything they put out but also next time they are about to release new music I want to make them a featured artist on this site, you know.
As I sit here and type this right now I will tell you that I don't have any pictures taken of this cassette yet so I don't know how much time is going to pass between when I create a "draft" for this on Blogger and when it actually gets posted. But there is only one copy of this cassette remaining on the Illuminated Paths Bandcamp page. If it still remains when I "publish" this review then I do feel like it's going to be some great race to see who gets the last copy. But you should have probably got yours already, right? You should have been ahead of me on this one, folks.

Apple Brings Support For Student ID In Apple Wallet To 12 More Universities In a press release, Apple announced today that in the coming school year, more than 100,000 students across the nation will be able to add their contactless student IDs to the Apple Wallet app, letting them use their student IDs to get into dorms, buy lunch and more using an iPhone or Apple Watch.
In addition to Duke University, University of Oklahoma, University of Alabama, Temple University, Johns Hopkins University, Marshall University and Mercer University who already offer such feature, students at Clemson University, Georgetown University, University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky, University of San Francisco, University of Vermont, Arkansas State University, South Dakota State University, Norfolk State University, Louisburg College, University of North Alabama, and Chowan University will also enjoy the ease and convenience of carrying the student IDs on their Apple devices.
"We're happy to add to the growing number of schools that are making getting around campus easier than ever with iPhone and Apple Watch," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Internet Services. "We know students love this feature. Our university partners tell us that since launch, students across the country have purchased 1.25 million meals and opened more than 4 million doors across campuses by just tapping their iPhone and Apple Watch."
Once a student ID has added to Apple Wallet, he/she can simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a reader anywhere physical student ID cards are accepted on and off-campus, and in some cases, they will need to authenticate it with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, with school credentials on an iPhone and Apple Watch are also protected by two-factor authentication.

St. Uriel's is blessed to have a very gifted and talented Flower Guild. The Flower Guild is responsible for preparing the floral decorations for the church sanctuary and chapels in keeping with the Liturgical Calendar. The Guild also supervises the placement of arrangements for all weddings and funeral. While flowers are purchased from area florists, our floral arrangers design their own arrangements.
After the Wednesday morning Mass, the floral arrangements are dismantled and smaller arrangements are made, which then are delivered to our homebound parishioners. We are always looking for new members to serve on the Flower Guild. All a person needs is a desire to participate - No floral experience is required.

The freelancing world has blossomed a great deal recently and its growth shows no signs of slowing down. With a variety of opportunities available, people from every line of work can find jobs in the freelance sector. Some of the well-paid jobs in freelancing include writing, graphic and web designing, programming and photography, which attract a number of individuals.
But one thing that the people coming in the freelance fold don't notice is that there are some big hurdles in here too, which can affect their daily routine, their financial stability and even their health. One such problem is encountered in the form of payment delays from the clients. Workers often complain about not getting paid on time, or not getting paid at all, and while many solutions have been proposed by experienced freelancers, there isn't a definite way out of this problem.
Part-timers might not get too affected by this, but the more creative, hard working lot whose only source of income is freelance work, like web designers, programmers, etc. would surely want this problem sorted. One way to kill this issue before it even arises is by sending an invoice of you payment demands to the client. With each job requiring a different type of invoice, Bonsai's special web designer invoices will definitely help in solving the payment problem for the web designers out there.
Sending an invoice containing the billing details validates your demands and assures your client that he is not being over-charged. It provides a perfect finishing touch to your work by presenting a more professional image of yours to the client. This bounds the client to show professionalism in return and the payment is made a quick as possible.
An invoice generally contains features like a unique invoice number for tracking purposes, names and credentials of the worker and the client for identification purposes and billing details, which include the number of hours worked, hourly charges, late charges, and total charges.
There also are some job-specific features in an invoice. For web designers, there can be fields like number of web pages designed, charges per web page designed, etc. Bonsai's invoices designed specifically for web designers have all these features which will add a sense of fulfillment to your task in the eyes of the client, so if you are the part of the right-brained community working tirelessly to make the websites look pleasing and user-friendly, and want your efforts to be repaid accordingly by the clients, our web designer invoices are the perfect solution for you.
Besides laying out the payment demands to the client, invoices can help you keep a record of your freelance work to give you a fair view of where you stand, and help you get paid in time. It is of utmost importance for a freelancer to design their invoices the right way, as the invoice may fail to serve its purpose if it goes wrong.
To make sure that the invoice would be convenient to read for the client, a freelancer must have a proper understanding of how an invoice is designed and how its features are organized in a suitable way. The salient features of an invoice are:
This is a number assigned to an invoice when multiple invoices are to be sent, in order to track each invoice individually.
Every invoice should have your name, address, email-id and contact number as well as those of the client for proper identification.
The most important part of an invoice. How well your charges are mentioned in an invoice determines the overall quality of it. The billing details contain fields like hourly charges/charges per one particular aspect of the job, number of hours worked/aspects covered, and total charges.
To make sure the payment process is convenient for you, it is necessary to mention how you would want to be paid.
Apart from these features, any additions or modifications depend on the type of job you are doing. Web designers are a huge part of the creative fraternity in the freelance industry. If the invoice of a web designer is dull, colorless, and simple, it wouldn't suit their creative image. To make sure that web designers create their invoices in accordance with their line of work, we have a special web design invoice sample to give an idea about how the touch of creativity can be deployed in an invoice.
An invoice sample is an already completed invoice which gives a clear perception of how different fields are ordered up to make a perfect invoice for your job. Bonsai's web designer invoice sample will definitely give you an insight on how you can design your own invoices and will also shed light on the invoices that we offer for your job. If you feel that your job does not free up much time to design invoices on your own, this sample will definitely convince you about the quality of our invoices. So if you are a web designer looking for invoice designs, this sample will definitely be help you out.
As a business owner, one of your goals must be to hire new employees, especially once the company begins growing. Growth always requires new workers. According to US News, lack of skilled workers is a huge threat to economic growth. Knowing when to hire a new employee is something that all business owners should learn. Fortunately, the figures you notice on your web designing invoice format should help you make this decision.
So, how can the invoice format help you know it's time to hire more workers?
First, the figures show you how much work your business is currently undertaking. It shows you when the workload is too much. It shows you that the current team is probably doing too much than it should. Failure to bring in fresh faces could lead to burnout. The last thing a web design firm needs is employees who don't have the gumption for more work. According to an article on the respected Forbes, overworking kills creativity, which is terrible news in web design.
The figures will provide more information once you present them to your current team. This is because you will hear the team telling you whether they are capable of handling more work or not. If the figures have dropped, you will learn the reasons for this new development from your team. If the figures have improved significantly, this information will help you know whether it's time to employ new workers or not.
Once you use the web design invoice format to prepare the actual invoice, you will discover whether your products and services are experiencing a positive or negative growth curve. Some business owners employ new workers when the growth curve is negative to inject some fresh ideas. Other owners prefer employing new staff to handle the increased workload associated with positive growth curves, which are great at predicting future sales, according to Investopedia.
The invoice is a great and reliable tool to use when you want to learn more about the revenues your business is currently making. It's time to employ new workers when the revenues are above your projected targets. Alternatively, employ new workers when you discover that the revenues are on target. The next step you should take upon noticing an increase in revenue is to bring in new workers to the web design business.
Therefore, study the web design invoice format closely to check if it's time to hire new workers.
How do you increase inventory in your business? According to smallbusiness.chron.com, it's common for small businesses to minimize inventories as a way of reducing carrying costs. A bigger inventory means increasing the types of stuff that your business is able to carry. A bigger inventory is great for attracting and serving more customers while reducing the risk of being unable to meet demands. Today, you can increase inventory through website design invoice breakdown. How can you do that? Continue reading below to learn.
An increase in inventory means more money and space. It also needs an increase in creative strategies. Traditionally, any business owner who wanted to increase inventory only had to purchase or lease more space. Additional space has always been a requirement for holding the additional goods that a business invested in. The type and extent of space leased or purchased depended on whether you want warehouse or retail-oriented. However, the situation has changed as you will see below.
Now, more business owners are realizing the importance of inventory financing, and this is where the web design invoice breakdown comes in. Today, it's possible for you to increase inventory without having to spend your money. What you need in such situations is inventory financing. You also have the option of buying inventory but paying for it using a line of credit. Therefore, this allows you to continue invoicing your clients for work done without worrying about the destination of the monies you raise.
You can't ignore the importance of increasing inventory. Proper management of inventory is crucial for a business that wants to improve its retail cash flow. It's a fact that small businesses struggle with cash flow more than any other issue, according to Lendified. The other issues are government compliance and bookkeeping. Therefore, all small businesses have to find ways of using inventory to give their cash flow a kick on the backside. The lifeblood of all small businesses is cash flow. Without cash flow a business collapses.
A web design business needs money to survive. He also needs plenty of skills such as:
Making money in web design isn't an easy thing. You need to work hard to raise enough funds to keep the business on its feet. You can be successful while having fun and doing some great work as you run the web design business. None of these would be possible without money. It's rewarding to design websites for clients. The main tools you need to run such a business is a computer, stable Internet and plenty of time. Clients are your bosses; hence, the need to learn how to use your time well and bill them on time using tools such as an invoice.
To make money in web design, you have to do great work that brings in more customers. You can't make money without offering premium services to your customers. Some of the inventory you need for this include the right software and hardware. You will also need a phone to communicate with your clients. Occasionally, meeting with some of the clients would be a great idea, according to Udemy. A contract is also mandatory when dealing with clients; some of whom might be a bit slippery. Most importantly, continue learning to design better websites.
Therefore, use a web design invoice breakdown to help you increase inventory for your business.

Talent development, education and local business leaders provide valuable input that will help guide the Internship Coordination program
MADISON – Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch joined Department of Workforce Development (DWD) Assistant Deputy Secretary Dave Anderson joined officials from the UW System, Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU), Madison College and area employers at the fifth Workforce Alignment – Internship Strategies Workshop to highlight the state's Internship Coordination Program. The workshop brought together officials from state talent development and education groups together with Wisconsin employers to help share best practices and guide the implementation of the program.
"As I travel the state, I hear from numerous employers that they have open positions to fill, but have a hard time finding skilled talent," Lt. Governor Kleefisch said. "We know that students who intern with a Wisconsin company are more likely to stay in Wisconsin after graduation, and Governor Walker's Internship Coordination Program will provide employers with a pool of potential interns and best practices for implementing yet another talent development program that will help them build their own customizable pipeline for skilled talent to fill current and future openings."
Governor Scott Walker signed Assembly Bill 742 into law in March 2016, creating the Internship Coordination Program. Under the program, two full-time positions were established at DWD dedicated to connecting students with state businesses for internship opportunities and promoting internships as another potential solution to employer's demand for skilled talent.
"Internships allow a student to demonstrate their skills to potential employers, expand their professional network prior to graduation and build their resume prior to graduation," Assistant Deputy Secretary Anderson said. "With Wisconsin's unemployment rate at 4.1 percent, and labor force participation rate outpacing the national rate, Wisconsin students are entering an ultra-competitive job market, and internships will allow them to stand out to employers."
Internships not only prove valuable to the student, but also employers. Employers who utilize internship programs as part of their business model are able to observe potential job candidates prior to hire while customizing the intern's skills to meet their unique workforce needs.

I never intended on getting into this Collins Jazz as I have. However, it's turned into the most welcomed new "thing" in my hobby world since getting into DXing and DXCC in 2001.
CBS Orchestra – War of The Worlds was broadcast in 1938 – some SW-3 receivers picked that up I'm sure!
This morning I was listening to classical music on the SW-3 and it was truly like a time machine. That music would surely have been played in the 30's on AM radio. Someone with an SW-3, perhaps the one I have might have heard that same classical piece on this same radio.
So, what was the "tipping point" that got me head over heels into the Collins KWS-1 transmitter? I mean, the 75A-4 already seemed above and beyond "just" wanting the SW-3.
Check on all of these. You see, no matter what I spend on something, I need to feel I am getting value for my money. On new equipment, that's easy to understand, but with old gear, value is a lot more subjective.
I swore no more linear amplifiers. However, the KWS-1 is a linear amplified transmitter. It is half transmitter and half linear amplifier. So, to compare it to modern equipment, here's the bill of lading:
Which ends up being about the same as a used Elecraft K-Line. Sure, the K-Line is modern. But I've had that and it's not unique.
Another comparison – it's the cost of a "full gallon" linear amplifier, such as the ACOM 1500 – which goes for $4140 at DX Engineering right now.
The Gold Dust Twins restored is a very unique experience – something no modern day equipment can offer. It's also a passing of several eras – those who can restore these 65 year old beauties are becoming rare.
The uniqueness of this project ends up being the main driver. I feel really great also being a "guardian and keeper" of the past.

Our pastor (Jamey Prickett) suggested that we needed a "swift kick in the butt" to get started, so we have lined up two opportunities where we could provide support.
The first will be this Friday 8-13 (gulp!) at the Seventh Day Adventist church in Canton. We are working feverously to get ready. In addition to getting the menu and food arranged, we are getting our Forever Fed mobile ready for its maiden voyage.
The second event will be at the Serve Kid's Bible Club where we will serve dinner before the kids go into their bible classes. Hopefully, we will be veterans by then after this Friday's event.
We could use a ton of help, so don't be shy…

BETSY: And I want to share with you how I'm going to lead you because I want you to feel safe in the steps of this as we go through it. We're just going to say Holy Spirit, and don't do it now, I'm just going to tell you the steps, Holy Spirit would You take me to a time in my life where I felt shamed and just let that memory let the Holy Spirit direct it, you're not trying to think up something, you're not trying to say well I have 5 times which one shall I choose, you're just letting Him show you the memory. And then I want you just because you can speak to Him as friend to friend, I want you just to share your heart. 'Lord when I was shamed in this situation these are the things I felt.' And you can just kind of just speak quietly under your breath. You know 'Lord I felt angry, I felt confused. I just felt so frightened, I didn't know what was going on.' You're just to say the things that you yourself really felt in that time as that memory comes back to you-
CHESTER: And what you're doing is you share that as you're actually passing them on.
BETSY: You're passing them on as you're saying and then Lord I want to give you this pain because He said I came to take your grief and sorrow, so we're going to give that to Him, and then we're going to ask Him to just show you because we know that He's always with us. We want to say 'Lord, would You just show me that You're there with me in this time where I was shamed.' And we're just going to watch and listen, and some of you may see pictures, others of you may hear scripture, you may sense His words to you. We're not going to put Him in a box- Yeah, you may have a feeling, peace may just come on you, so we're going to let Him be the one that ministers, and then we're just going to say thank you, Lord, for Your healing. So Lord, we just come as Your children to a good Father- Betsy gives instruction]: No, they don't need to repeat, I think actually I'd like- I just ask you to sit down, this takes a little more time and I think you'll be a little more at rest if you're seated. And just take a minute, and you know if you've got your lap full of stuff put it down and kind of tune out the people around you because this is really between you and Jesus- Betsy continues ministering: Father, just show Your heart to each child, each one of Your children-
BETSY: I just hear the Father singing a love song to several of you. And it's especially for those that really didn't have earthly parents that sang love songs to them, you didn't have anybody that tucked you in bed at night and told you that you were precious. He's just singing to you-
Child you are more precious than silver, child you are more costly than gold, child you are more beautiful than diamonds, and nothing I desire compares with you. Just let this song settle in your heart. Hear the Father's heart towards you. Father is just reaching out His arms to you tonight. Lord, we just receive those things that You've said that are personal for us. And we thank You, that on this journey of life You will show us more and more and more of Your heart for us. That's our legacy as Your sons and daughters. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. And you know the last thing we want to do is we just want to get any oppression, any way the enemy would try to block our life from just receiving the Father's fullness. Everything He has. Everything! We don't want 80%. We don't want 90%. We want the whole thing! He said we could have life and have it abundantly. And Lord, we're Your people that want it all. We're greedy for more. We just want all that You have, Lord. And we know You want us to be greedy. You put that hunger into us. And so tonight we just want to come against every strategy and plan of the devil that would try to steal, kill or destroy and divert us from everything that You have. And Father, we just pray for every family that's represented here, we pray for success on every job, where we work, and every ministry that's represented here, and Father we pray for safety as we travel back, and for Your peace that as we lay down tonight our sleep will be sweet,
and we'll hear, just continue to hear Your voice, and know that we are safe with the Good Shepherd. In Jesus' name we pray.
CHESTER: In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. God bless you. God bless you.

IT consultant insurance requirements
As an IT consultant, you probably travel to a variety of locations for a host of different jobs, meaning that you are presented with a multitude of risks on a daily basis. Wherever you go and whatever the job in hand, ensuring you have comprehensive insurance in place to protect against unforeseen events is crucial. Without the right IT consultant insurance, you could be exposed to large financial loss that could jeopardise the future of your business.
Public liability insurance for IT consultants
IT consultants insurance will typically include public liability cover to safeguard your livelihood against accidental damage to third party property, as well as accidental injury. For instance, if a client tripped over some network cables you were installing, sustaining an injury, you may be liable to pay compensation awards. Public liability insurance protects you against these eventualities, letting you focus on the job in hand.
IT consultant professional indemnity cover
As a professional, the advisory aspect of your business should play a fundamental part of your business considerations. Even as a perfectionist, mistakes are sometimes made, and professional indemnity insurance can protect you against these errors. Our advisors are on hand over the phone to discuss your professional indemnity insurance requirements.
IT consultant employers' liability cover
If you employ staff, you will need to arrange employers' liability insurance to protect your employees whilst they are at work. As careful as you may be, accidents do happen and can lead to large medical bills and payments for damages.
Business Interruption insurance for IT consultants
Dependent on the nature of your trading activities you may wish to include cover for your business premises, contents, equipment and stock. These can be included in some business insurance policies, and can also be extended to protect business equipment away from your premises. In the event that you suffered damage to your business property meaning you were unable to trade, then business interruption insurance cover can protect your loss of income whilst you get back up and running.
Legal protection for IT Consultants
Commercial legal protection can insure your business against tax and VAT appeals, as well as employment disputes and compensation awards, and also provides jury service allowance if you or your employees are summoned.

Managing Associate
Investment Advisor Representative
Over the past 20 years and a blend of personal and professional experiences, I have developed a true passion for financial planning. These experiences led me to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, a trusted advisor to clients and an advocate for the financial planning industry.
I recognize how financial empowerment changes people's lives, especially my own and my loved ones'. However you define financial empowerment and success…whether it's to better understand your financial life today, reduce the anxiety and challenges money can create, or wanting to partner with a professional who can better manage your financial life…if you've recognized the need for a partner and a plan, my mission is to relentlessly pursue making you feel confident and happy in your decision to trust me as your financial advocate and guide.
Our mutual success includes participation by everyone included in your financial life, and is preferably completed through small changes over a long period of time. My contributions to your empowerment begin with the "fiduciary standard of care" and always include empathy, objectivity, proactive communication, and candor. Based on your plan, we may also include how best to fund retirement, education costs, caring for a family member, scheduled vacations and unscheduled expenses.
I've personally experienced and successfully navigated through substantial credit card debt, buying a first home, owning rental property, caring for a terminally-ill parent, the loss of a parent, inheriting assets (and managing the tax liability that accompanies those assets) and managing the household finances for the surviving spouse.
My work ethic and passion underscore a burning desire to build success in the lives of clients as well as my own family. My combination of industry experience, client experience, personal experience, and technical expertise allow me to provide sound advice and superior service.
My Path To Felton & Peel
My journey towards financial planning started from the most humble and resonant of places: the family kitchen table. My parents grew up with meager means, but worked tirelessly their whole lives to progress from lower class to middle class. Seated together around that trusty piece of furniture, I participated in and learned about their financial lives at an early age. Although not on the menu, the fundamentals for financial independence were served at every meal.
I graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans with a Bachelor of Science degree with majors in Management and Finance. Over the course of my professional career, I've covered a wide spectrum within the financial services profession, including Institutional trading, Banking, Private Wealth Management and Financial Planning.
Felton & Peel offers me the ability to create deep, long-term relationships and develop dynamic, hand-crafted plans with my clients. The firm's open architecture allows me to utilize the fundamentals of financial planning, use industry-leading technology and produce positive, authentic work that allows me to be myself. In this environment, on this platform, I can do what I've always wanted, and that's a dream come true.
Providing clarity and financial literacy forms the bedrock of everything we do here at Felton & Peel, and within my role as Managing Associate, I welcome the opportunity to transform your concerns and questions into manageable, incremental steps we take together, over time, to move you towards your financial success and stability. As a team, we all share a passion for helping people through financial planning and through volunteering. The core values of Felton & Peel align with my own personal set of beliefs.

A Little More About Me
All these years later, that same oak table where I sat with my parents and discussed the family finances is now the kitchen table for my own family.
I live in Cobb County, GA (Kennesaw) with my wife, and our young son. Like my father, my wife teaches high-school at KMHS. (Go Mustangs!). We love it here in West Cobb and look forward to growing with our community.
The last "hobby" I spent spare time on was learning how to ride and work on a motorcycle. These days I enjoy safer past time activities like dodging footballs thrown by my son and losing footraces in the house. I love podcasts, especially from Michael Kitces, Josh Brown, Barry Ritholtz, Malcolm Gladwell and Joe Rogan.
Ten years ago, my mother lost her battle with ALS. It was, without question, the most impactful event of my life. The ripples from her passing and not being here are felt every day by me, my father, my family and by everyone who knew her. Her entrepreneurial spirit and belief that it's better to "prepare" than "repair" inspires me daily.
We strive to make connecting as easy as possible. Here are a few options: email@example.com, 404-840-2557, virtually via Zoom or Skype, or let's set aside a time with the options below.

A loan for your rental bond or deposit
Often the toughest part of leasing a new place is the rental bond that is required to be paid up-front. While you may have the liquidity to pay for the monthly or weekly rent, the security deposit or some other related payment can prove to be a hurdle.
With rental bond loans from Credit24, you don't have to give up on that lovely house or apartment you have chosen for your family or friends. Credit24's rental bond loans range between $500 and $10,000. They are easy to apply for too. You could get the amount credited to your bank account in a matter of 24 hours (if approved within business hours).
In most cases, the rental bond amount is equal to four weeks rent. In some cases, when the weekly rent is higher than $250, the amount can also amount to six weeks rent. Coughing up this kind of money, especially when you did not expect to be moving so soon, can be a tough situation to handle. Credit24 helps with rental bond loans that you can use for a bond payment or even relocation costs.
A loan that is as flexible as you
As rental bonds and deposits can be variable in price and may need to be paid on short notice, you need a loan that is as flexible as you may need to be. That's why with Credit24, you'll be able to find a loan that meets your financial needs. But you're not limited to just using your loan on your deposit or rental bond. If you're going to be better off dedicating the money to moving or relocation costs, then that's just fine with us! Use your loan however suits you best.
Calculate your rental deposit loan today
Use our simple rental deposit loan calculator to forecast how much your repayments will be based on your personal financial circumstances.
Choose your loan amount, repayment frequency and repayment lifetime to get an estimate of how much you're likely to owe.

I've been working on some stories inspired by historical women – anti-heroines like the Bible's Jezebel (what did she do to deserve such vilification?); characters from the Mabinigion such as Rhiannon, Blodeuedd and Branwen who were made into such victims; and odd characters such as Mary Jones of Bala, who saved her pennies for six years and walked barefoot for 25 miles through Welsh mountains to buy a Bible. Girl! Shoes first, then Bible! When I find it, I'll add the photo of 6-year-old me dressed as Mary Jones in a St David's Day pageant. She's supposed to be an aspirational heroine, but I think she got her priorities all wrong.
Anyway, here's something inspired by the Mabinogion story of Blodeuedd, a women created from flowers to give a man a 'wife'. Not surprisingly she betrayed her 'husband' (who was basically treating her as a sex object), but instead of being celebrated for standing up for herself, she's vilified.
Blodeuedd (revisited)
Redder than lovers' roses. Redder than her lips and her sweet gash. Redder than the fury in her cheeks. Beyond red, the colour that was pouring out of him, carrying his life with it, drop by drop.
He was supposed to be invulnerable. Never without a body guard and a bulletproof vest. But here he was, stabbed and castrated with shards of the bedside mirror. Too shocked even to call out for help – but the bedroom door was locked from the inside. The only place he had ever felt truly safe and in control – murdered by this tiny placid girl. Why? He'd given her everything. The taint of his birth meant no woman would consider him, bastard son of that vicious witch Arianrhod. Who would risk her as mother-in-law, despite the wealth and status. A man has needs, as well as his pride. So he'd found this one – a mail-order bride, they'd gossiped, but their envy was plain. As plain as they were, stood next to her, this girl so exotic and innocent she could be made of flowers.
And he, who'd never known shared passion, thought this was how it always was between a man and a woman – she coy and passive, turning her face. So he'd placed the mirror beside the bed, to witness her climax just this once. She'd never protested, and he'd mistaken that retreat into herself for sweet acceptance.
'Why?' he found voice to whisper. 'Didn't I give you everything you could want? And things you didn't even know could be wanted?'
She straightened up from her cringing position, letting the bloodied shard drop, and stood tall and proud.
'You gave,' she said. 'You gave and then you took. But you never asked.'
'I made you my wife. Lifted you from poverty. Gave you an education.'
'I never asked for those things. Your education was worthless – I'd have done better learning from the village women. I didn't ask to be your wife and I won't be your grieving widow.' She pulled off her wedding ring and flung it on the floor. She was magnificent now, blazing. He'd never imagined she could look like this.
'Is there someone else?' he asked.
'Never you mind. It's none of your business – you'll be dead soon. Your stupid white rug is getting ruined. Have you any idea how hard the maids have to scrub to keep it clean?'
'You won't get away with this. You'll never get past the guards. You'll spend the rest of your life in prison, pining for the sun on your skin, wishing they still hanged murdering bitches so you could die before you get old and ugly.'
'It doesn't matter. I'm free now, free of you. I have everything I need in this room – water in the en-suite and plenty of fruit in the bowl. When your rotting corpse smell too much for me to bear, then I'll let the guards in. I will miss the natural world when I'm in prison, but I know how to act the good girl. I'll soon be in the prison garden, tending the herbs for the kitchen. And I can amuse my cellmates by reciting that pompous poetry you made me learn. And, hear this – I will welcome the dirt under my ragged nails, the sun baking my face and the wind tangling my hair. I may even cut that short for convenience. I will smell of my own body, not yours. And I won't have to spend hours on my appearance in a place without mirrors. I don't want to look at you anymore,' she said. 'You're almost gone, and I don't want you looking at me like that.'
She grabbed the bedcover, not caring what he might see as she bent over. It was her body, not his. But as she placed the sheet over his face, he slashed up with the last of his strength, the dropped shard slicing deep into her cheek and blinding one eye. She screamed, then her screams became shrill laughter which went on and on. When the laughter stopped, she spoke in a voice so calm it chilled him.
'A vicious wound. That proves I acted in self defence. Which I did. And if I am jailed, this will be my prison armour.'
She stood over him, blood dripping from her wounds onto his, as red faded to black.

More than a third of men in the UK have been a victim in a coercive control relationship
A third of men in the UK are a victim in a coercive control relationship
Monday 4th March 2019
New research reveals that a third of men in the UK have been a victim in a coercive control relationship
Only a quarter of the UK population are aware that 2015 UK law made coercive controlling behaviour a criminal offence
More than a third of men in the UK (34%) have admitted to being a victim in a coercive control relationship. However, over half of respondents (53%) reported having experienced some kind of bullying or controlling behaviour at the hands of their partner. Exactly the same percentage of female respondents had experienced being in a coercive /controlling relationship.
The research was commissioned by IBB Solicitors and conducted by independent research agency Atomik amongst 2000 UK adults (1000 women/1000 men) aged 18-65.
The research found that coercive control relationships are most common amongst those aged 18-44; 70% of those aged 25-34 reported being in such a relationship at some time and 50% of 35-44s. The percentages fall off amongst older respondents with only 13% of those aged 65+ saying they had ever been in this kind of relationship.
In addition, IBB Solicitors also conducted ten qualitative interviews amongst victims of coercive control, police officers and detectives working /who have worked in domestic violence and homicide units, a family law barrister specialising in domestic abuse cases, domestic violence advisory groups and charities, as well as a psychotherapist and leading forensic psychiatrist in the UK.
In conjunction with the quantitative research, the firm was keen to find out from the victims and all those working with and supporting victims what more they believe could be done to make the current legislation work even more effectively as well as in conjunction with the Domestic Abuse Bill published on 22nd January 2019. Details of the full report can be found at https://www.ibblaw.co.uk/insights/publications/controlling-or-coercive-behaviour-making-legislation-work-more-effectively.
Breakdown of Quantitative research
Gender differential
When asked about bullying behaviours, men were just as likely to experience most of the issues asked about. There are a few exceptions men were more likely to experience the issue than women.
Amongst those who said they had experienced bullying or abusive behaviour, nearly half of men (48%) said they did nothing about it, significantly higher than the figure for women (33%).
By contrast, women were much more likely to say they had ended the relationship (37%) compared with only 1 in 6 (16%) of men experiencing issues.
Only a quarter of the UK were aware of the 2015 legislation
When respondents were asked whether they were aware that in 2015 the UK Government had made it law that coercive controlling behaviour is now a criminal offence – carrying a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine -only 25% replied 'Yes' with the remaining 75% stating No (46% had no awareness about the change in law whilst 29% stated that they seemed to remember something about it in the news, but were not aware about the legal and monetary implications).
Obstacles to reporting
Even with the knowledge that coercive and controlling behaviour is considered a criminal offence (and they felt they were a victim of behaviour), nearly half (48%) would not report or are unsure whether they would report it to the police or relevant authorities. Just over a quarter of adults (28%) would report the activity immediately whilst a further 45% would wait to see if this was an isolated case and would report it if it happened again.
Victims do not feel protected
The main reasons for not reporting this behaviour to authorities is because they are worried about how they would be protected, they worry that if their partner ended up in prison it would impact on their lifestyle and family's reputation, they are worried about splitting up the family or worried their partner would continue with their controlling behaviour. Amongst those who specifically said they would not report abusive behaviour the biggest reason (32%) was not wanting to burden others with their problems.
The reasons for not reporting abusive behaviour vary significantly between the genders. Men are more likely to say they would be worried about their partner going to prison (22%) while women are more likely to be concerned about how they would be protected (28%).
Further details of the research revealed that a wide range of controlling behaviours (being lied to by their partner regularly, bullying about body size, controlling financial spend, hiding objects, intrusion on privacy etc) was endemic in many UK relationships
However, despite these shocking admissions four in ten adults (41%) said they would take no action as either their partner would deny it and they want to keep the peace, they were worried about creating an argument or feared their partners' reaction. A quarter of adults admitted that as a result of the actions they ended the relationship/marriage.
Other highlights
Kate Ryan, a family law partner at IBB Solicitors comments:
"Coercive and controlling behaviour in a relationship is insidious and the effects can be hugely harming to the victim's mental state. Whilst the Government's move to make this type of behaviour a criminal offence in 2015 is a significant legislative move for family law – a core issue is many are not aware that they have legal rights to report such behaviour and put an end to their misery and entrapment.
"Clearly more needs to be done to educate people in the UK about how coercive and controlling behaviour can manifest itself in relationships, what steps victims can take and, crucially, how they can feel protected.
"Whilst male domestic violence support groups are campaigning tirelessly to show that this is not a gender specific crime, we would urge the Government to support a UK wide media campaign to address the current misperception that men are more often than not the perpetrator."

Watch the Smiles ~ Engage and Enjoy ~ Reminiscence Rooms …
Well, it's been another really super week, creating nostalgic displays in residential care homes. Our interactive displays bring about some amazing responses from residents, carers and visitors especially: Smiling – Nodding – Pointing – Touching – Talking – Reminiscing – Engaging in meaningful conversations: Communication between visitors who may not usually chat with each other – Staff members, often rushing past each other have stopped and joined in … Sometimes, all it takes is a 1960's coffee pot or a 1950's mantle clock to catch a person's attention and it's just wonderful to watch people engaging through this media.
We might not like to admit it, but sometimes, visiting a relative or friend in a residential or care environment can be daunting. If we're honest, the visit can sometimes be – dare we admit it? – dreaded. It's not because we don't want to see or be with our loved ones – it's often because we run out of things to do to engage with them meaningfully. We want our visits to be worthwhile. What are we going to say after the initial Hellos and How are yous? – After we've unwrapped the flowers and nodded – After we've opened the sweets – put fresh pyjamas in the cupboard – After the awkward pauses and glances at the clock?
We want to help provide Happy Days for everyone when visiting loved ones – and that's why we've developed the 'Happy Days Activity Trolley.' Packed with nostalgic activities, sorting materials, themed memory boxes, large piece jigsaws and even colouring for mature adults, we're encouraging Care Home and Care Service providers to have these nostalgic activities available for families and friends to share with their loved ones during visits.
Using photographs, memorabilia and nostalgic items can prompt our long term memories and bring about stories to share and enjoy. Interacting with materials or engaging in social activities can help encourage movement and boost blood flow. Improving social interaction can help relieve boredom and lift mood. Seeing our loved one interested can help our sense of purpose – we feel more useful. And when we feel good, this reflects onto the person we are caring for. When we leave our loved one smiling, we feel uplifted.
We understand that not everyone can engage in activities – that's why our Activity Trolley includes a carer guide with some sensitive tips for carers and visitors.
It's great to see some care organisations, care home owners and managers are really beginning to get on board now. But we'd like to see more opportunities for visitors and residents to engage and enjoy – So next time you're visiting a care home, hospital, rehabilitation centre or dementia cafe, tell them about a "Happy Days Activity Trolley' – and just send them to us – www.dementiaworkshop.co.uk
Happy Days everyone, Gillian
Choose – Display – Interact:
Happy Days nostalgic displays and activity trolleys are unique and cost effective.
We don't require architects or lengthy planning schemes.
Just choose your theme /colour scheme / budget and we can prepare materials for you.

Leaders with St. Norbert College say there was a physical assault of a student that took place near campus on Friday. According to a news release from campus officials, this happened around 3:00 a.m. on the 800 block of Third Street.
According to campus officials, a student was walking South on Third Street when a green van with rust on the back pulled up next to her. The people inside of the van asked her if she could help them find their dog. Officials say when she told them "no" and continued to walk, one of the people got out of the van and grabbed her. The student successfully fought back and escaped.
Officials say the suspects then headed south on Third Street. The people in the van are described as two Hispanic men in their late 20s to early 30s. The driver had longer slicked-back hair and a five o'clock shadow. The passenger wore a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.
De Pere Police say they are investigating the incident. If you have any information, you should call police at 920.339.4078or Campus Safety at 920.403.3260.
St. Norbert officials say for student's safety, they should use the shuttle that runs routinely Sunday-Thursday night from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Students can also request a safety escort from Campus Safety by calling .920.403.3260 at any time. They also recommend students travel in groups, be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity.

The PPACA and deficit reduction will be funded through new taxes, fees, and penalties on individuals, businesses, and the health care industry. This alert will touch upon the biggest changes individuals, businesses, and the health care industry will experience in the next few years.
Individual tax payers will contribute to the PPACA funding through an additional Medicare tax imposed on wages and investment income, penalties for failure to maintain health care coverage, a higher threshold for itemized medical expense deductions, a tax on indoor tanning, and an additional tax on distributions from health and medical savings accounts.
The health care industry will be a large source of the PPACA's funding through fees on health insurance providers and pharmaceutical manufacturers and importers, excise taxes on medical devices and high cost employer sponsored health coverage, and a limitation on remuneration paid by health insurance providers.
Beginning this year, the deduction for employee remuneration paid by health insurance providers will be limited. The amount health insurance providers will be able deduct in applicable employee remuneration will decrease from $1 million to $500,000. The limit will apply to all officers, employees, directors, and other workers or services providers performing services for or on behalf of a health insurance provider.
Non-health care industry businesses will also face changes and penalties as part of the PPACA funding. Effective in 2010, the PPACA eliminated the cellulosic biofuel producer credit. Paper companies will now be barred from claiming $1.01 per gallon cellulosic biofuel producer credit for black liquor, a by-product of paper making. This change is estimated to raise $23.6 billion over the next ten years.
