Single-Stream Recycling Begins in MMC's NICU
April 22, 2019
In March, Maine Medical Center began rolling out a single-stream recycling program in its Bramhall Street building. The program started in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Continuing Care Nursery (CCN), with the hope that it can spread to other areas of the hospital in the coming months. While the hospital has recycled office paper, cardboard and reusable sharps boxes for years, creating a single-stream recycling program has proved more challenging because of the risk that contaminated items from patient rooms could get mixed in.
The NICU and CCN have 10 bins set up, each with signs above them explaining what may and may not be recycled according to ecomaine, the non-profit waste management organization that processes and sorts the recyclable products from the hospital. A member of MMC's environmental services team brings the recyclables from the units to the hospital's loading dock for transport to ecomaine.
"Colleagues seem to be happy with the program," said Whitney DeSena, RN, BSN, who championed the NICU and CCN recycling program. "We've had great buy-in and enthusiasm across the units."
DeSena said educating colleagues about what is and is not recyclable is key to the program's success, as federal regulations require hospitals to throw many items away.
Cardboard, paperboard, rigid plastic containers, glass and metal are all able to be recycled in these bins. ecomaine is unable to take dirty food containers, straws, plastic coffee cup lids and utensils, Keurig pods, paper towels, paper napkins and toilet paper.

Manager's Message: Electricity - A Value Or Bargain?
Manager's Message: Electricity - A Value Or Bargain?
Even in today's shifting energy climate, electricity remains a good value.
Did you know that an average day's worth of electricity for a family home costs less than $5? We don't often question the cost of a fast food meal, which may be more than that day's electric power. And yet, we frequently become upset if our electric bill is higher than usual, even if it's due to our own usage habits.
It makes sense; we have become increasingly reliant upon electricity. Electricity has, for many of us, gone from a luxury commodity - a choice - to a necessity and an expectation. We expect the lights to come on when we flip the switch, and we expect our power to stay on during the best and worst conditions. How else would we keep our food fresh, our homes cool in the summer or warm in the winter?
Value goes beyond cost: when you flip the switch at home, the lights should come on. We work hard to ensure you have electricity every hour of every day.
Even as we upgrade the distribution system to keep improving reliability, we face continual threats. Maybe an ice or wind storm. Maybe a neighbor forgets to call before he digs up his backyard. Maybe someone slides off the road and hits a utility pole.
We've experienced a lot together. Remember the Christmas 2013 ice storm, or the wind storm in April, just a few months later? Crews worked long hours for days on end to rebuild lines and restore power to every member.
But we're also always preparing for what may come, strengthening our lines and improving our processes so we can respond quickly. With 3,600 miles of electric distribution lines, we have a lot of ground to cover, and reliability doesn't come without its costs.
If at times it doesn't seem that electricity is affordable, remember – even as the demand for electricity grows and the cost of poles, wires, transformers, and equipment goes up – annual rate increases still remain low, especially when compared to other consumer goods such as medical care, education, gasoline and, yes, even fast food. Electricity is still a great bargain.

Important Features of this Judgment
- A Pt X Deed may create an equitable assignment of the rights, such that obligations continue after the Deed has come to an end.
- The Trustee of the Part X Deed of Arrangement can continue the proceedings initiated against One.Tel, despite the Deed coming to an end.
- Serves as a reminder that the enforceability of the debt does notaffect a debtor's liability.
Following the collapse of One.Tel, on 12 December 2001 the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) initiated proceedings against Mr John Greaves, a former director of One.Tel. On 4 September 2004, orders were entered by consent that Mr Greaves pay $20 million in compensation to One. Tel and $350,000 to ASIC. Subsequently, Mr Greaves entered into a Pt X of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth) Deed of Arrangement (the Deed). The Deed relevantly provided:
- Mr Greaves agreed to assign to the Trustee of the Deed his rights under Directors and Officers' Policy (D&O Policy) he held with CGU.
- The Trustee would apply any amount received under the D&O Policy to ASIC and One.Tel in discharge of Mr Greaves' liabilities.
- Upon receiving judgment or settlement in respect the D&O Policy, the Trustee would execute a certificate (Clause 9 Certificate).
- Upon the execution of a Clause 9 Certificate, Mr Greaves would be absolutely released and discharged from liability in respect of the orders of 4 September 2004.
- Prior to the execution of a Clause 9 Certificate, the Trustee and creditors would not seek to enforce the 4 September 2004 orders.
Pursuant to the Deed, the Trustee gave CGU notice of the assignment, and commenced proceedings to pursue Mr Greaves' cause of action in respect of the $20 million compensation order (the Supreme Court Proceedings). On 30 November 2007 the Deed terminated.
The questions that lay at the heart of the appeal were whether the Trustee was entitled to continue the Supreme Court Proceedings, despite the fact the Deed had come to an end, and whether a "loss" (as defined by D&O Policy) existed for which CGU could be liable.
The High Court Judgment
The High Court held that the Trustee was entitled to continue the Supreme Court Proceedings. The Deed created an equitable interest in Mr Greaves' rights in the D&O Policy in favour of the Trustee, who in turn, held those rights on trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries. In fact, the judgment stated that because it held that interest on trust, the Trustee was duty bound to get in and realise the value of the equitable interest, namely, to continue the Supreme Court Proceedings.
CGU submitted that clause 11 of the Deed continued to operate after the termination of the Deed and prevented the Trustee and creditors from enforcing the $20 million compensation order against Mr Greaves. Accordingly it argued that there was no "loss" to indemnify. Ultimately, the High Court held that on proper construction of the clause, it did not operate after termination of the Deed. It also stated that even if the clause continued after termination, a "loss" would exist. The D&O Policy defined "Loss" as "the amount payable in respect of a claim made against" Mr Greaves and included judgments and settlements. The clause acted to bar recovery of the monies owed by Mr Greaves, but did not release him from liability for those debts. Accordingly, the Court held the $20 million sought in the Supreme Court Proceedings was a "loss", because it is "an amount which Mr Greaves is legally liable to pay". Liability and other's ability to enforce payment are not the same.
The High Court's judgment relied heavily on the specific wording of the Deed. In relation to submission regarding the operation of the Bankruptcy Act, the High Court stated:
It is not necessary to deal with these arguments. Indeed, in view of the fact that the form of Pt X now is very different from the form to which the parties' arguments were addressed, it is undesirable to do so.
Nonetheless the judgment is significant as it highlights what can be achieved under Pt X Deeds.

Now the measurements are made in terms of money, i.e., how much losses in terms of money a disaster can cause to world economy–more specifically to Gross Domestic Product.
In other words, human suffering is now being calculated in terms of dollars.
This way, the traditional human welfare related question "how are you today?" might gradually become "how much are you worth today?"
This trend to "monetising" instead of "humanising" shockingly applies also to what can be considered as the major social and human drama the world has been facing all along its known history—the gender gap.
True that every now and then reports remind about women representing more than 50 per cent of all human beings; that they are the human "life-givers"; the guardians of family and nature and the engine of social coherence, let alone their essential contribution to feeding the world. Indigenous women, for instance, are the key protectors of world's biodiversity. See: Indigenous Peoples Lands Guard 80 Per Cent of World's Biodiversity.
90 Per Cent of Agricultural Workers; 10 Per Cent of Land Holders
Here, the facts speak by themselves: globally, women make up 43 per cent of the agricultural labour force.

In many poor countries, more than 95 per cent of all economically active women work in agriculture. In sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, women hold 10 per cent of the credit available to smallholder agriculture, they add.
Similarly, female farmers receive only 5 per cent of all agricultural extension services, and only 15 per cent of agricultural extension officers are women.
These facts, which have been cited among others by the United Nations Convention toCombat Desertification (UNCCD), also indicate that closing the gender gap could create 240 million jobs by 2025 and add US 12 trillion dollars to annual global growth (GDP), according to a report by McKinsey and Company.
Other major UN specialised bodies, like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have systematically been highlighting the essential contribution of women.
Rural women and girls are key agents of change to free the world from hunger and extreme poverty, said FAO's Director-General José Graziano da Silva at a special side-event on gender equality and women's empowerment on the occasion of the 40th Session of the FAO Conference (Rome, 3-8 July 2017).
"Their role goes beyond agricultural production and extends throughout the food system but, as we all know, rural women continue to face multiple constraints," he said, noting that they have less access to productive resources and employment opportunities.
Graziano da Silva also stressed that women are more affected by the consequences of conflicts and crises.
"During a drought situation, for example, a greater workload is placed on women. In Africa and Latin America, women can spend many hours a day searching for water in times of drought and then need to walk many kilometres carrying a bucket of water on their head," he said.
In Ghana, the stability of a woman's marriage and good relations with male relatives are critical factors in maintaining her land rights. Credit: FAO
In spite of this, women worldwide continue to be victims of flagrant inequalities. See: "It Will Take 170 Years for Women to Be Paid as Men Are"
World Conference in China
The need to accelerate women's empowerment in fighting droughts and desertification will be on the table of the UNCCD's 13 Conference of the Parties (COP 13), that's the signatories to the Convention, scheduled to take place in Ordos, China, 6–16 September 2017
The Bonn-based UNCCD secretariat's note "Gender, Drought, and Sand and Dust Storms," states that structural inequalities embedded in the social, political, economic and cultural institutions, norms and practices limit women's agency, undermining effective implementation of the Convention.
"A focused and systematic approach to bridge the gender inequalities linked to women's land use and management, it adds, can improve the livelihoods of women and girls and their families and the conditions of the ecosystems that supply these needs, and enhance their resilience to drought."
Their increasing exposure to extreme weather events –drought, unpredictable rainfall–accentuates their vulnerability, and compels them to take ever-greater risks to meet their needs, UNCCD underlines.
Women in Land-Dependent Communities
"Women in land-dependent communities affected by the impacts of land degradation and desertification require special attention in order for them to access the resources they need to provide for their households and make communities resilient and stable."
According to the Convention, the Scientific Conceptual Framework for Land Degradation Neutrality states that the drivers of land degradation are not gender neutral. It stresses that poverty is both a root cause and a consequence of land degradation, with gender inequality playing a significant role in the process, worsening the impacts on women.
On this, the UNCCD Science Policy Interface recommends integrating gender considerations into implementation of the Convention, including through Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) planning and implementation, decision-making, stakeholder engagement and the preliminary assessments for LDN.
"Evidence shows that gender equality, women's empowerment and women's full and equal participation and leadership in the economy are vital in achieving sustainable development, and significantly enhance economic growth and productivity."
Women are not just percentages nor can they be quantified merely in terms of dollars.

Technology or whatever we may point to as the reason for our busy lifestyle, we are finding it increasingly hard to get the time for accomplishing even simpler tasks in life. Like, several years back it was easy to go to the market and buy vegetables and fruits. We can still remember our parents taking us to a Sunday Bazaar and shopping fruits, vegetables and other grocery items.
However, unfortunately, most of us are occupied with so much to do and with such little amount of time. Therefore, one way of overcoming such scarcity of time is by relying on technology-driven solutions. Selly.pk is one such great addition to help us around with our busy lifestyles.
Here is why Selly.pk is an excellent choice for customers looking to buy fruits and vegetables online in Lahore.
Focus on Premium Quality Fruits and Vegetables
Quality is one of the leading concerns for consumers in Pakistan. We often see on the news problems in the quality of the foot or addition of impurities during the processing of the food items. Despite authorities taking so many actions, a lot of businesses still keep getting away with such malpractices. However, Selly.pk has only focused on the quality of the produce from the start. Therefore, when it comes to buying quality fruits and vegetables online, you do not need to worry about Selly.pk. There is a dedicated team of procurement professionals which checks all the fruits and vegetables for any problems before delivering them to the customers.

Therefore, the customers do not have to worry about waiting for too long. Homemakers that need to have vegetables available on time can rely on this excellent service to ensure timely cooking of the meals.

It means continuously monitoring the fluctuating prices and ensuring the customers are delivered products at best possible prices. There are very few if any options available that offer premium quality fruits and vegetables online at such affordable prices.
No Minimum Order Limit
One of the most significant problems with anything that you order online is the minimum order limit.

However, Selly.pk does not put any limit on the quantity of the order that you are placing.

If you have an iPhone but you don't think iPhone insurance is necessarily for you, take a look at the statistics below and they might make you think again.
You may be surprised to know that:
Now as with all statistics about iPhones, it's possible to read these and say, "so what" or "what is this telling me?" Well, clearly the key message is that iPhones are not immune to damage and theft and these issues occur more often that you think. Assuming that they only happen to someone else may be relying rather too heavily on your luck holding.
That may be particularly important as we move towards the New Year and the depths of winter. Not only are we out and about a lot more than usual but slips and falls (or dropping your iPhone) may all be a little more common at this time of year than normal. You may have to live with the financial consequences of that unless you have iPhone insurance to help.
If you are thinking about an iphone cover quote, don't forget that your other electronic gadgets may be just as vulnerable including that iPad or camera etc.
Whatever else the technical magazines and websites may say about iPhones, it's unlikely that you'll find too many that describe these great gadgets as being 'cheap'. So, if you lose yours or it's destroyed, it may be something of a financial catastrophe for you. That's why playing Father Christmas and treating yourself to iPhone insurance, might be a smart move.

V. Ramaswami, J.
1. The first respondent before the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, the owner oft he car CRP 6835 is the appellant herein. On 30-9-1976. at or about 10-30 a.m.'when the appellant who was getting down from his parked car,opened the door, it hit the scooter TMS 4191, driven by Divakaran, who was proceeding alongside the parked car resulting in the throwing away of the scooter driver and causing his death. The mother of the deceased filed a petition under S.110-A of the Motor Vehicles Act. claiming compensation of Rs. 1.15.000, for the death of the deceased. The Second respondent is the Insurance Company with whom the appellant, has insured ' his vehicle. The additional Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Madras, by order dat6d 19-0-1979, determined the compensation at Rs. 20,780 under the various headings. However, the award was given only against the appellant and the Insurance company was held not liable. In this appeal by the insured, the learned counsel for the appellant did not question the claim of the first respondent herein, the mother of the deceased nor the quantum of compensation fixed. However, he contended that the Tribunal went wrong in absolving the insurance company of its liability to pay the money. If the award is both against the insured and the insurer, the learned counsel contended that the insured could have asked the Insurance company to pay and if he, had been made to pay the compensation, he would be in a position to recover the same ' from the Insurance company. The question, therefore, for consideration is whether the second respondent Insurance Company is liable for the claim.
2. The facts relevant to this aspect of the matter may now be noticed. The vehicle CRP 6835 was insured with the second respondent originally from 23-91975 for a period of one year expiring on 22-9-1976. But the Insurance was not renewed with effect from 23-9-1976. As already stated, on 30-9-1976, the -accident took place at or about 10-30 a.m. On 30-91979 the appellant sent his proposal form Ex R-I praying for a comprehensive insurance policy. On the same day, the second respondent issued a cover note for a temporary period to expire on 14-101976. Later a regular policy was issued on 4-10-1976 noting the period of insurance from 1 30-9-1976 to 22-9-1977, both days inclusive. The original insurance policy produced by the appellant is marked as Ex R. II in this case.
3. Column 17 of the propsal form related to the period of insurance and he had requested for insurance from 30-91976 to 29-9-1977. However, after the words 'from 30-9-1976' we find in brackets '5:30 p.m.'. In the temporary cover note issued on 30-9-1976, also, we find against the column 'effective date of commencement of insurance for the purpose of the Act', '30-9-1976 (5-30 p.m.)' and against the date and place. it is also mentioned, '5.30 p.m.'. The appellant disputed the reference to '5:30 p.m.' in his proposal form and contended that it was, not there when he gave the proposal form and that there were some erasures and over-writings on '5:30 p.m.' and ' it is not believable. However, we find in the cover note, again a reference is made to '5:30 p.m.' and there are no erasures. But this fact, whether the proposal form was given at 5.30 p.m. or the cover note was issued at 5:30 p.m. is not going to matter on the point raised by the learned counsel for the appellant, and therefore, we need not well too much on this aspect. One other aspect mentioned by the learned counsel may also be referred to as a statement and that was according to the learned counsel the proposal form was sent by the appellant in the morning on 30-9-1979 through his manager and that at the time when he sent the proposal, the accident had not taken place. The Court below was not willing to place any reliance on this statement of the appellant in view of the fact that the manager himself has not been examined. But one thing is clear that the proposal form was not given by the appellant personally to the Insurance company, but it was taken by his Manager, though it may be subsequent to the accident at 10:30 a.m. Therefore, we will proceed to consider the legal question on the basis that the proposal form was sent on 30-9-1976 some time after 10-30 a.m. and the acceptance also was subsequent, to the accident. But, as seen from the original Insurance Policy, produced, which does not mention anything about the time, the period of insurance covered is from 30-9-1976 to 29-9-1977. Clearly, therefore, the policy shall be deemed to cover from the midnight of 29/30-9-1976, which will cover the time of accident also
4. The learned counsel for the Insurance Company pointed out that under column 5 of the proposal form, the insurer is asked to state 'what accident (if any) have occurred to this or to any other car at any time owned or driven by proposer during the last 5 years', and the appellant should have mentioned about the accident it he wanted to claim the benefit of the policy. We find against this column, the appellant had neither stated that there was air accident nor 11as h, stated that there was no accident. Therefore, we cannot say that the appellant had given a false statement that there was no accident on the basis of which the policy was given with effect from the same date 30-9-1976. It is ~iot unusual, and it has come to thv notice of courts also, that some times Policies given with retrospective effect. To he extent that a policy given in the dav 11tile takes effect from the midnight ol iho earlier date, it is retrospective, in the scrise that the policy is not effective from ihe time when it is accepted cr issued: it is effective from the date on which it is issued. In fact. the policy also states that it is effective from a particular (late to a particular date, inclusive of both days. Therefore, the policy was effective on 109-1976, and normally we should take it that it is effective frorri the midnight of ihe previous day. When we are bidden to imagine that though the policy was, in the day time, it takes effect from !he midnight of the previous day. We Ranjit allow our mind to boggle, when it corne~l to the necessarv corrollary of treating ihe accident as having taken place after ~he policy took effect. That is the le ' L!al situation and that should be given effect to. Therefor~, the accident is clearly covered by the policy.
5. A similar view was taken I)v a Division Bench of this Court in Unfle(l India Fire and General Insuranct,- Co. Ltd. v. V. Srinivasan, 1980 ACJ 413. In that case also, the policy was given at I I a.m.. on 6-6-1969, while the accident took place at 8 a.m. The policy was to cover from 6-61969 to 5-6-19-70, both days inclusive. This court held that though the policy was issued subsequent to the accident, the risk is covered as the policy is effective from the whole of the day on which it was issued. It is true that in that case, when the proposal was sent by the insured. he was not aware of the accident to his vehicle earlier. But that makes no difference for the legal effect of the policy itself. The learned Judges also noticed. referring to the judgment of the Bombay High Court in the Indian Trade and General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Bliailal Maneklal Desai, : AIR1914Bom148 , that a stipulation with regard to past risk is neither void or illegal. In fact, the decision in Oriental Fire and General Insurance Co. Ltd.T. G. Kundgol, : AIR1982Kant150 is verv instructive and interesting. In that case, the accident took place on, 11th February 1978. The proposal along with the premium was received by the Insurance Company on 13th February 1978. The proposal was accepted and the Insurance was renewed with effect from 10th February 1978. The question for consideration was whether the vehicle as not insured on the date of the accident. viz, 11th February 1978. A Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court field that S. 960) of the Motor Vehicles Act is intended to enable third parties who suffer on account of the user of the motor vehicle to get damages, and their ability to get damages should not be made dependent either on the financial condition of the driver of the vehicle or the contractual rights and obligations between the insurer and the insured. The liability of the insurer to third parties being statutory. the right of the third parties flows from the statute and is not contractual. Though the insurer was entitled to avoid or cancel the policy for breach of certain restrictions. conditions and limitations contained therein, he could not avoid the liability to third parties. If there was a breach of any restriction, condition and limitation, the insurer may be entitled to proceed against the insured, either to avoid or cancel the policy, but the insurer is bound by the provisions of S. 96( 1) of the motor Vehicles Act to pay a person entitled to the benefit of the decree any sum not exceeding the sum insured therein, it' the policy had not already been cancelled before the claim is made. In this case, the policy was still effective and it was not cancelled, and, therefore, apart from the fact that we have a doubt as to whether, on the facts and circumstances of this case, the insurer could have cancelled the policy, since it is not factually cancelled and the policy being effective from 30-91976, it would cover the accident in question.
6. We accordingly modify the award of the Claims Tribunal by giving a decree to the claimant both against the appellant and the second respondent. The appeal is allowed. But there will be no order as to costs.
7. Appeal allowed.

Sigh.... I wish I could draw faces.
Sigh.... I wish I could draw faces.
I said make it SEEM like I am racist, which you DID with your comment.
Who cares what avatars people choose? People are going to pick the pictures that she looks best in. I highly doubt people wouldn't choose a picture just because it depicts her more as a black person. That's just ridiculous thinking.
People wouldn't 'rather her not be black', they just rather not stamp an ethnicity on her because she has gone through many so you can't really pinpoint what she is.
You're making this into a racial thing when it isn't. Don't go there, please.
So romanticizing Jade as Black is any better?Honestly i think people would rather her not be black...
Just look at all the Jade avatars with her "white" concept
or all the "tan" comments
Actually, Chun Li looks pretty normal.
She has never really had 'over the top' breasts in the games and looks like a fairly average sized female. Sometimes, yeah, they make her thighs a bit thick but, for the most part, Chun Li looks like a normal person.
Anyways, let's not turn another Jade thread into a discussion about her ethnicity....we've had enough Jade threads turn into that, lol....so, moving on.
Wells, since Jade is a black edenian, I wanted her to look like a sexy black woman. Thank you guys for your comments and criticism. After I do Stryker, who you guys wanna see next? I will do primary and alternate costumes for all of them.
but why is this thighs so big?

Over the years, there have been various studies of food insecurity on college campuses. Food Insecurity is defined as when an individual does not have access to the foods that benefit their needs and they are eating a poor low-quality diet that will have an effect on their overall health. To be food secure means that an individual has access to food that holds nutritional value. The goal of this project is to examine the relationship between food insecurity and the college students at the Pace University — Pleasantville Campus. The project would bring awareness to the fact that college students are making harsh decisions between eating a nutritional meal and other activities such as paying bills, buying textbooks for class and more. The objective is to acknowledge that there are steps that can be taken in order to decrease food insecurity on college campuses. One of the ways that can be done is to meet with your local food bank and discuss having a mobile food pantry come on campus to distribute fresh food and produce to students. The fresh food and produce that are distributed could promote healthy eating lifestyles as well as time management for cooking meals for the self.
From this project, I expect to learn about the different techniques to improve food security not only for college students but for other people as well. Food insecurity is a sensitive topic due to having to asking information about their household, eating habits, and other personal things such as job wages. To examine the relationship between food insecurity and college students, I plan to conduct a study. I have created a survey with questions asking about a wide variety of things from demographics to mental health.

The 1990s-era sitcom was vastly in style, and hypothesis and rumors have swirled a few possible reboot of the show for a while. As you might notice that the cast iron cookwares of your grandmother (which is already outdated) are nonetheless in good condition in cooking. Even trendy types of cookware like Teflon and aluminum would not have the ability to stand as much as the sturdiness and top quality forged iron pots and pans have. Dan Aykroyd makes a visitor look as a blues-loving minister, the character he was in the meanwhile taking part in on the time inside the sequence Soul Man , a series that was additionally created by the creators of Home Improvement.
So far, the only technological improvement for this kind of range is the firebox, the place the place the fuel is burned, is now sealed. Interior designers, inside decorators, basic contractors, house builders, and designers can use personalized artwork glass for any enterprise or residential initiatives as a easy, modern residence enchancment. But now good news is that the more modern of the forged iron radiators could be set right with parts taken from the older radiators and still offer you wonderful output. These gazebos stand a chance of rotting or falling apart long before their cousins, the forged iron gazebo. This means that they require little maintenance, although age is also a figuring out factor and an older cast iron radiator may give you hassle.
The three areas of differentiation in styles of forged iron gates are usually, the pickets that run throughout the highest of the gate, decorative put up caps, and decorative rail equipment. Hindman had gained ample TV experience prior to being cast in 'Home Improvement.' He was Detective Lt. Bob Reid for 16 years on the ABC daytime drama 'Ryan's Hope,' till it ended its run in 1989. To forestall your cast iron from rusting keep away from letting it get moist during rainy or snowy seasons. Naturally, regardless of where you reside, you can see your performing brilliantly.

Richardson was offered $25 million to do a ninth season; Allen was equipped double that The two declined, and Home Improvement ended after eight seasons and 203 episodes. The present has been over for about 17 years now which means that the solid has performed loads of growing up. See how a lot they've changed! Thus, you should use a cast iron pan even in your stove or in oven if there is no accessible picket handles in your certain cookware.
Mrs Doubtfire: According to IMDB, Home Improvement was rating so effectively within the Nineteen Nineties that studio executives considered making a movie The potential storyline for the film was that Jill and Tim acquired divorced, so Tim dressed up as a lady and posed as a nanny in order that he might nonetheless see the boys.

Justin and Darrianne Christian Center for Diversity and Inclusion Opens During Monon Bell Weekend
November 16, 2017
On a bright and crisp Saturday, November 11, just prior to kickoff of the Monon Bell game, the Justin and Darrianne Christian Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) was dedicated and officially opened with many students, faculty, staff, alumni and Greencastle community members in attendance. As the new home for AAAS (Association of African American Students) and the Dorothy Brown Cultural Resource Center, CDI will offer cultural programming and services for students of color and international students; support student identity-affinity organizations such as United DePauw, the Committee for Latino Concerns, and the Asian American Resource Center; advocate for social justice; and assist in fostering a safe and affirming campus climate for all students.
Speaking at the dedication, President Mark McCoy noted, "I am honored to welcome you to an important day in the history of DePauw, a day that is significant for DePauw University in ways we have dared to dream of for decades, and in ways that will make a difference for generations to come." He added, "Author and lecturer Dan Millman has said, 'The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.' We are doing that today, both literally and figuratively."
In acknowledging the generous support of 1995 graduates Justin and Darrianne Christian and expressing the University's gratitude for the impact they have made at DePauw, President McCoy said, "Among a sea of impressive, impactful and uncommonly successful graduates, Justin and Darrianne stand out. They are shining examples of DePauw's history of creating the leaders the world needs now. As alumni, they make us incredibly proud. As leaders, they make us incredibly inspired. And as visionaries and generous philanthropists, they make us incredibly grateful."
Justin Christian '95, looking out over the standing room only crowd of attendees said, "Let us allow this beautiful Diversity and Inclusion Center to remind us of the lessons of Dr. King, Charlayne Hunter-Gault, fellow alums Percy Julian and Kenneth Hogate. Let us be hopeful that we each have the strength to take a position against injustice when life presents us with our opportunity. DePauw University is taking its own stand here today. It is the 124th Monon Bell Classic. We are a better institution today than we have ever been in the 124-year history of this game."
As part of the campus celebration for the opening of CDI, several special events were held on Friday, November 10. Renowned journalist and speaker Charlayne Hunter-Gault spoke at 1:30 p.m. in a conversation with John Dittmer, professor emeritus of American history and a nationally-recognized authority on the civil rights movement. Following that conversation, Hunter-Gault spoke before DePauw and Greencastle community members in Meharry Hall at an event that was free and open to the public. Hunter-Gault reflected on her involvement in the civil rights movement, including her role in desegregation as one of the first black students admitted to the University of Georgia through which she was represented by 1957 alumnus and now her long-time friend, Vernon Jordan.
On Friday evening, more than 150 students showed up alongside faculty, staff, community members and alumni at a campus celebration including food trucks from Nacho Mama, Der Pretzel Wagen (owned by the spouse of Class of 1999 graduate Katharine Case Monroe), Myers Market, Kebab on Wheels and Limestone BBQ. Event emcees were Greisy Genao '18 and Dante Stewart '20 and a "Battle of the DJ's Old School vs New School," ended up in a win for Kyle Bartos '19 over Steve Mayberry '94.
DePauw's vision for diversity and inclusion aims to create a campus that encourages examination and dismantling of the historical, systemic and social barriers that inhibit inclusion and which respects and values the contribution of each person's unique and multifaceted identity to the DePauw community.

Yeah, this will work! Seems to do what it says for the most part- keep the mask elastics from irritating my the backs of my ears and give more adjustability for tightening around my face. It doesn't seem to slip down on my head like others have described. Stays put. Good adjustability, but was a bit overpriced when they added the shipping cost.

D/A converter product line-up for high-fidelity audio
A new brand 'MUS-IC', has been launched by ROHM, reflecting its focus on solutions for high-fidelity audio products. This branding covers a range of D/A converter ICs (DAC ICs), optimised for high-fidelity reproduction, and power supply products.
The increased adoption of high-resolution audio sources has lately strengthened the demand for audio equipment that can deliver an appropriate sound quality. Audio DAC chips, which convert high-resolution digital audio data to analog without degrading the original sound source, are one of the most important components for determining the quality in audio equipment.
ROHM has D/A converter technologies that are optimised for high-fidelity reproduction of high-resolution sound sources. These DAC chips, which deliver low noise and low distortion (S/N ratio and THD+N characteristics) as demanded by top audio equipment manufacturers, have been optimised for sound quality through repeated listening tests and laboratory measurements.
Leveraging 50 years of expertise in developing audio ICs allowed ROHM to establish 'sound quality design technology' capabilities for high-fidelity audio reproduction that is close to the original sound source and thereby offer products designed with an emphasis on sound quality; including sound processors and power supply ICs.
In May 2018 ROHM unveiled an initial development sample of a DAC chip at the international Hi-Fi Audio show held in Munich, Germany where it received recognition from top audio equipment manufacturers who expressed a keen interest in its adoption once it is commercialised.
In addition to this DAC chip, ROHM also offers a product portfolio of power supply ICs (BD372xx series) and sound processors (BD3470x series, BD34602FS-M). All products optimised for high fidelity audio applications are listed under its new audio device brand ROHM Musical Device 'MUS-IC'.
Naruhiro Okamoto, Manager of the Audio Development Department at ROHM, stated: "We have developed this product range by combining our sound quality design technology with the corporate mission of 'Quality first', our vertically integrated manufacturing. And we are also implementing activities that contributes to the dissemination and development of music culture with the ROHM Music Foundation. The team of experienced engineers has developed the ultimate IC solution which is perfectly represented by the new audio device brand 'MUS-IC'.

Steven Kroon's bands have always been an exciting prospect. Lately his music has resembled a kind of sonic teeter-tooter. In the one hand the group' sound has been informed by a radiant sound that came aglow because of Bryan Carrott's vibraphone and Tim Ries' piano and on the other end of the tilt there has been the authoritative rumble of Steven Kroon's thunderous percussion, softened sometimes by Mr. Kroon's angular muffled slap on his congas and the soft caress on a cymbal, or by the subtle hues created by the brushes of Vince Cherico on the expanse of skins.

Steve Kroon was born in Spanish Harlem to parents who had moved to New York City from their native Puerto Rico. He studied Afro-Cuban percussion with Tommy López, Sr. and later Brazilian rhythms with Dom Um Romão.

This exquisite balance has been the hallmark of Mr. Kroon's music and it has brought in many admirers for his loose elegance that has, nevertheless, boasted a gentle swagger that has given Mr. Kroon's music a gentlemanly wallop.

Buy Cheap Analysis of Jay-Zs Lyrics Essay
Jay-Z is among the well renowned and financially successful hip-hop musicians. Jay-Z's success is derived from his own hard work, including the launch of several successful music albums such as Volume 2, and his works with other rap artists. He has helped several artists to commence and grow their career in rap music. Jay-Z uses his lyrics to express the blows he has received from life and to encourage others. Thus, it is critical to evaluate the artistic value in Jay-Z's music.
Jay-Z uses the song "Hovi Baby" to summarize his accomplishments in the rap world. The song was written in 2003. Jay-Z uses the song to outline his accomplishments in the rap world over seven straight summers. Jay-Z's claim of achieving the unattainable is a hyperbole; however, he emphasizes the hardships that a poor African American man from the inner city faces in his endeavors to succeed. He uses the lyrics to argue that even the less fortunate in the society can achieve the American dream by maintaining a strong work ethic.
Jay-Z was raised in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in poverty; drugs and illegal guns surrounded him. This was compounded by the separation of his parents, which had a detrimental effect on his life like all other Black children. He uses the song "December 4th" to explain his habit of selling cocaine as a means of boosting his self-esteem. In the song, he argues that before starting to sell drugs, he felt worthless since his T-shirts did not match his gear. However, after earning the cash from selling drugs, he was able to purchase the clothing he desired, overcome his insecurities, and attract women. Jay-Z refers to himself when he was dealing in drugs as a resourceful person who endeavors to improve himself. Drug dealing has influenced a significant number of his lyrics, and helped him bridge the gap between the inner city and the mainstream America.
In conclusion, Jay-Z's lyrics are derived from his real life personal struggles towards success. The lyrics are encouraging to a significant number of Americans from the inner cities. The songs depict the fact that we can all succeed, and we should endeavor to earn our living through legitimate methods. Thus, Jay-Z's songs are helpful in helping those who earn money illegally. They have someone to epitomize.

Listening to the government you may think that 'illegal' immigrants threaten the way of life of Britons and endanger the living standards of working people bit it is the old scapegoat blame game. Migrants and political refugees aren't to blame for a single one of the problems we face in our daily lives. Those crossing borders 'illegally' take huge risks to their personal safety and at huge personal cost.
In the UK, there are 11 Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs), used to hold migrants and asylum-seekers on arrival, pending a decision on their status. Where applications have been rejected, IRCs also hold them prior to deportation. In the EU, only Greece detains more people in such centres than the UK. More than 30,000 people spent time in them in 2013. Both international and European law stipulate that migrants and asylum seekers should only be detained as a last resort and for the shortest time possible. The European Union Returns Directive sets a detention limit for irregular migrants but the UK has opted out of the directive and is the only member state with no time limit on detention.
Several studies have examined the impact of immigration detention on mental health. A review of 10 of these studies by specialists found that they all "reported high levels of mental health problems in detainees. Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder were commonly reported, as were self-harm and suicidal ideation. Time in detention was positively associated with severity of distress."
Detention Action's Executive Director, Jerome Phelps, points to the significant number of detainees who are being harmed "in lasting ways". "There is a crisis of mental health in detention," he told IRIN. On-site doctors are supposed to notify managers as well as the Home Office of such cases, in particular those at risk of suicide and survivors of torture. According to Phelps, these reports are routinely ignored. A 2011 study found that only nine percent of such notifications led to the release of a detainee. A 2010 study by the Jesuit Refugee Service, which interviewed 685 detainees in 23 EU countries, found that "detention brings very negative consequences for detainees' mental health" and that prolonged detention "compounds the adverse mental health effects".
Sharif, fled torture in a north African and spent a year in detention centres before being released. He told IRIN that conditions inside were oppressive. "I lost my health in detention, after all this stress and bad feeling," he said. "A lot of people self-harm. My friend, he cut his neck with a razor…" Four months after his release, Sharif, who suffers from claustrophobia and had to be heavily medicated during his incarceration, still fears being re-arrested and sent back home.
Hassan Seguya, a Ugandan refugee who spent six months in two different immigration detention centres after his initial asylum claim was refused, told IRIN "I felt like I was in prison, but it was worse because you don't know [the length of] your sentence. I was only waiting to be deported and I thought to die here [in detention] would be better because I knew they'd torture me back home," said Seguya, who recounted how he spent three years behind bars in Uganda, where he was allegedly beaten and tortured, after being accused of complicity in a coup plot.
Another detainee said he had been held for three years. He said efforts to deport him had failed because he came from a disputed area claimed by both Nigeria and Cameroon and neither state agreed to receive him.
A young woman from Guinea who was detained upon her arrival at Heathrow Airport. During 17 months in a detention centre, she suffered a mental collapse and was frequently isolated or hand-cuffed to prevent her harming herself. In July 2014, the High Court ruled that her detention was unlawful and that her human rights were violated.
Britons should realise that there is an indeed a 'them' and 'us' conflict, but it's not about migrants. It's the employing class versus the working class. Encouraging native workers to blame vulnerable foreigners for the cuts in jobs, working conditions and welfare benefits, our ruler are playing a game of divide and rule. The fault is not of the political asylum seeker. It's the bosses driving down all peoples living standards. Socialists never forget that an injury to one is an injury to all. Don't let 'them' divide 'us'.

Family finances are being crippled as inflation sends living costs soaring but average earnings are not keeping up – with just a £46 increase this year from £1,937 in January to £1,983 in November.
Everyday costs have soared this year with energy bills rising 18.8%, motoring 8.7%, public transport by 8.5% and food by 6.9%, according to the latest Aviva Family Finances Report.
To meet these costs, families are cutting back on luxuries and one in four have stopped spending money on holidays, while more than half are not spending anything on children's activities such as after school clubs.
Savings have also taken a battering and families only managed to put away an average of £19 in November – the smallest amount yet this year – and the typical savings pot is now just £967, down 2% from August.
The best savings accounts currently on the market
The tough economic conditions have also pushed families into the red and now 52% have unsecured debts of an average £10,604 spread across credit cards, loans and overdrafts.
Families face "challenging and tough times" and are "caught in a difficult balancing act" between saving and spending, says Alistair Macqueen, marketing manager for Aviva. But he says there are some positives from the report, which show that families are paying out £224 on debt repayments each month, rather than soaring further into the red.
"For many, 2011 has been a tough year characterised by spending cutbacks, inflationary pressures and financial worries," says Paul Goodwin, director of workplace savings for Aviva.
"Typical UK families now save less than £20 a month, but the number of non-savers remains steady – which does suggest that those in the savings habit are still actively trying to save where possible. We hope that we will see a return to more favourable financial conditions for UK families in 2012," he adds.

Luckiest Girl Alive
A Novel
By Jessica Knoll
Narrated by Madeleine Maby / 11 hours 47 minutes
Her perfect life is a perfect lie.
As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue-blood fiancé, she's this close to living the perfect life she's worked so hard to achieve.
But Ani has a secret.
There's something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything.
With a singular voice and twists you won't see coming, Luckiest Girl Alive explores the unbearable pressure that so many women feel to "have it all" and introduces a heroine whose sharp edges and cutthroat ambition have been protecting a scandalous truth, and a heart that's bigger than it first appears.
The question remains: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for—or, will it at long last, set Ani free?

Sharp Martingale and Semimartingale Inequalities

Part of the Monografie Matematyczne book series (MONOGRAFIE, volume 72)
This monograph presents a unified approach to a certain class of semimartingale inequalities, which can be regarded as probabilistic extensions of classical estimates for conjugate harmonic functions on the unit disc. The approach, which has its roots in the seminal works of Burkholder in the 1980s, makes it possible to deduce a given inequality for semimartingales from the existence of a certain special function with some convex-type properties. Remarkably, an appropriate application of the method leads to the sharp version of the estimate under investigation, which is particularly important for applications. These include the theory of quasiregular mappings (with major implications for the geometric function theory); the boundedness of two-dimensional Hilbert transforms and a more general class of Fourier multipliers; the theory of rank-one convex and quasiconvex functions; and more.
The book is divided into a number of distinct parts. In the introductory chapter we present the motivation for the results and relate them to some classical problems in harmonic analysis. The next part contains a general description of the method, which is applied in subsequent chapters to the study of sharp estimates for discrete-time martingales; discrete-time sub- and supermartingales; continuous time processes; and the square and maximal functions. Each chapter contains additional bibliographical notes included for reference purposes.

Popular among gourmet diners, the seed of the Dipteryx odorata apparently now pops up reguarly on higher end menus – despite being banned in the US because it contains coumarin, a compound that is lethal in large doses.

Planned Parenthood Indiana Cutting Staff After De-Funding
The Planned Parenthood of Indiana abortion business has laid off two staff members now that the uptick in donations it received from pro-abortion supporters has run out following the news that the state had revoked its taxpayer funding.
A rash of donations had been sufficient to replace the state and federal taxpayer funding the state had directed to the abortion business via Medicaid, but it was only enough to cover a few weeks. Now, Betty Cockrum, the president of the abortion business, has cut two staff members and is closing each of its centers one day a week in order to meet the budget shortfall it will experience if a federal court doesn't issue an injunction against the law and restore the taxpayer revenue stream.
Cockrum told WFPL she hopes a ruling could be handed down as early as next week that would side with Planned Parenthood and force the state to turn on the funding spigot while the lawsuit it filed against the de-funding law continues....

Maurice Mitchell talks about the future of the left with the New York Times
The following is an interview with Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party, Nina Turner of Our Revolution, and Yvette Simpson of Democracy for America from the New York Times. Click here to read the full article.
A Chat With Progressive Leaders About the Future of the Left
New York Times, December 20, 2018
During the Trump era, Democrats have largely been able to avoid making tough choices. With little power, their most pressing question has been whether to object to everything the president does or just, you know, most things.
That all ends in two weeks.
When they take over control of the House in January, Democrats will gain real legislative and investigative power — and will carry the burden of making decisions. And the three dozen Democrats flirting with a presidential run will quickly have to decide whether to actually take the plunge.
With all of those decisions over the next year, there's sure to be a robust debate about what the future of the Democratic Party looks like. A big part of that discussion will center on the progressive wing — what they want, what they believe and how they're shaping the presidential race.
We were curious what the conversation inside that progressive wing sounds like. So we spoke to three people who have recently taken the helm of some of the country's biggest liberal groups: Nina Turner of Our Revolution, Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party and Yvette Simpson of Democracy for America.
It was an expansive, 45-minute conversation, which we had to condense quite a bit for the newsletter. Here's what they had to say about their new roles, 2020 and how progressivism is changing.
LISA: So you three are all relatively new in your jobs. Nina, you took the helm at Our Revolution about 18 months ago. Maurice, you started as the director of the Working Families Party in April. And Yvette, you'll become the CEO of Democracy for America next year.
What do your appointments say about the state of the progressive movement?
NINA TURNER: One of the top goals of this movement is first recognizing that it is a truly multiracial movement. A lot of times when people see the faces of the "progressive movement" they tend to think that the movement is very white, but the movement is really, you know, to borrow from Reverend Jesse Jackson, the "rainbow coalition." To have at this moment in history three very dynamic African-American leaders leading organizations in the progressive movement, just our very presence is a symbol.
MAURICE MITCHELL: What I would also add is that this movement is not about one election. I think a role for our movement is expanding people's understanding of what democracy is and making sure that they see themselves in it. This idea that Bernie (Sanders) said — in fact both Bernie and Trump said — that the system is rigged, right? So in order to un-rig the system, we need a new type of politics that confronts the systemic challenges and is willing to do big things. We don't want to play small ball.
YVETTE SIMPSON: The shift for our organizations hopefully will be a rallying cry for what we should see in the Democratic establishment. We want to see people of color represented not just at the bottom, but we expect to see those individuals in leadership. And then when you do that, not only do you get average results, but you get even better results.
It's the idea that when brown and black people lead us, we not only take care of brown and black people, we take care of all the people.
You all mentioned that there's this perception that "progressive" means white. Why do you think that has persisted?
MM: It's a historical inaccuracy. Our presence at the helm of these organizations is a corrective one because black folks have always played this critical role. But I think the reality is black folks haven't always been in leadership.
If you look at a traditional Democratic Party, unfortunately, black folks and the issues of black folks haven't always been front and center, even though our vote and our movements and our strategies have been utilized in order to get elected. But I feel like this is a political realignment that we're experiencing, where black leadership is central.
YS: The face of the progressive movement, in my experience, has been very white, and I think that was less the reality and more maybe what was put out front. People most associated that with white, traditionally, maybe more male.
But what Maurice is saying, and what Nina said, is that is just not true.
NT: I'm amen-ing everything that my sister and my brother said. You know, there is a saying that said that if the hunter writes the story, then the lion's story is never told. So that's the same thing I feel about this movement. The lens by which it is written about leaves out so many people because the hunter — i.e. the neoliberal class, or the class of people that have the most power — they tell the story. It benefits folks to write that story in that way.
But I would argue that progressivism is by its very nature black, because you have to be progressive when you fight against the system that is treating you like a second-class citizen. Hopefully our very presence as the leaders of three very strong organizations says to the world, you need to tell the story differently. Now the lion is telling the story.
We're having a conversation that's a lot about representation. And we could see a presidential field with multiple African-American candidates and multiple female candidates. What advice would you be giving those people?
YS: Black women matter. We want to see candidates who are engaging with black women, with black people on the ground, making sure that those in these communities are not only heard but are front and center in the work that you plan to do, in your calculus as you think about how you're going to navigate this country over the course of the campaign. We don't want you just knocking on the door when you're running.
Number two, this is the time to be bold and be unapologetic in your agenda. And we want to see that. People who have been on the bubble too long, they use words like bipartisanship. The person down on the ground could care less about how you would get along with the person next to you. They want to know whether you're going make a change, if you've got to do that by hook or by crook, by any means necessary. They want to see change in their real lives.
I was preaching there a little bit, Nina, did you see that?
NT: So it's no secret, you know, if Bernie Sanders decides to run, who I will support. But amen to everything that Yvette just said. She's absolutely right — the only people who talk in terms of who's Republican and who's Democrat are people here in this Beltway. But the average, everyday person in this country does not have that conversation when they're talking about how to pay their bills. They're not talking about those issues when they still have dirty water in Flint.
And in 2020 we have a pivotal opportunity to do some course-correction in the country and hopefully give people a real choice. And I'm going to say to Democrats not to equivocate at all who they are standing for, because we already know who the Republican president is standing for. So this 2020 opportunity, this is real in the field. It's go time.
MM: Man, I'm getting excited.
What I would say is we're not going to fall for the "okie dokie," in the sense that somebody could just signal through cultural signifiers and identity that they're down with a particular set of politics or a movement. People have to show and prove, not just based on the fact that they might occupy a certain identity. We need to see it in their voting record, in the issues that they champion.
It's easy in the moment of the "resistance" to signal that you're down with the resistance. But I'm less interested in what you're against — I'm interested in what you're for. The prerequisite for sanity in this country is to have an opposition to the Trump movement. What sways me is what you're trying to build. Which side were you on previous to the moment that you decided to take the mantle?
NT: Can I just say, amen. I'm sorry Lisa, I am shouting across the office right now because my sister and my brother just put ten thousand exclamation points. We will be rolling the tape.
