Window World Launches Initiative to Help Veterans Establish New Careers
Replacement Window Company Launches 'Careers for Heroes' Hiring Platform to Inform Veterans of Employment Opportunities in the Window World Franchise System
N. WILKESBORO, N.C. (August 12, 2019) – Entering the civilian workforce after serving our country is not always an easy task for U.S. veterans. They may not know how to translate the skills they learned during their military service into a new career, and that thought is often reciprocated by employers.
Window World, America's largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, welcomes veterans interested in starting a career at a Window World franchise location. That's why the company is excited to unveil Careers for Heroes — an online job-hiring platform that will match eligible veterans to available positions at Window World franchises across the country.
Dozens of franchise locations are involved in this nationwide effort to encourage veterans to become a part of the Window World franchise system. Through Careers for Heroes, interested veterans will receive training and support to help them transition into a new and exciting career.
"We have many beloved veterans in our Window World Family, and we value them tremendously," says Window World Chairman and CEO Tammy Whitworth. "Veterans have already given so much to serve our country, and we want to help them as much as possible as they leap into civilian life."
The Careers for Heroes platform has officially launched at www.careersforheroes.org through a partnership with JobPath, an online job source for veterans and military spouses. The company appreciates the work ethic, attention to detail and focus on teamwork that veterans bring to Window World's franchisees.
Careers for Heroes is the latest effort by Window World to assist U.S. veterans. Window World proudly supports the Veterans Airlift Command (VAC), an organization that provides free air transportation to wounded veterans and their families. Window World has provided air service for more than 115 missions, and the partnership has raised over $1 million in flights and in-kind contributions for the VAC.

Enough of the 1/2 Stitches Already!
I have a model on the way from Dragon Dreams that should be sitting all nice and cozy in my mailbox tomorrow and I think I'm going to welcome the change in pace/design! I've been putting in a lot of time on Peacock Tapestry lately and I am soooo tired of 1/2 stitches! The entire background/distance is 1/2 stitches or 1/2 stitches with a lighter colour over top (one strand). An awesome effect but about ready to drive me nuts!
But I can see the end is getting ever closer. Here is an updated PIC of Peacock Tapestry.

Liverpool mayor Wendy Waller, Coronation Property's Urban Transformations director Aras Labutis and Karima Group's John Sahyoun unveiled a plaque acknowledging the industrial heritage of the Paper Mill site on the banks of the Georges River at Liverpool.
The plaque features at the entry of the recently-restored 1800-square-metre circa 1914 paper-mill heritage building, characterised by its distinctive sawtooth roof, which is the last remaining building from the site's original mill operations.
Ms Waller said the plaque was a fitting way to acknowledge Liverpool's industrial history. "I'm very pleased to see our past acknowledged and a historic building renovated and opened up for the community to enjoy," she said.
Mr Labutis said acknowledging the site's history was a priority for Coronation Property. "From when we acquired the site we always knew we wanted to honour the Paper Mill's significant industrial heritage and the fact the project is called the Paper Mill is a testament to our commitment in keeping alive the history of this part of Liverpool — and the Georges River," he said.
"For the past five years, we've been busy transforming this site into a thriving residential community with world-class contemporary architecture while taking care to preserve as much as possible of the site's distinctive past.
"This plaque is the next step in honouring that past and is something we're proud to provide for the people of Liverpool, and visitors from greater Western Sydney, to understand and appreciate this special part of their local history.
"Preserving and reinvigorating the paper-mill building was a great result and its unique heritage architecture can now be appreciated by all who visit. We've ensured the building's industrial history was acknowledged as much as possible as it was once part of Australia's largest paper mill.
"The original brickwork and distinctive saw-toothed roof have been retained and the contemporary updates in steel, glass and stone are all in keeping with the past.
"No detail has been overlooked, with features including bespoke timber joinery, Carrara marble and custom cast-iron sculpting resembling 19th-century ovens while an expansive hand-made mosaic tile floor is a highlight of the interior."

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)of the House of Representatives on Thursday, July 13, declared that there is vacancy in the Aso Rock come 2019. It was gathered that Leo Okuweh Ogor (Delta) stated this to highlight the struggles it passed through in the course of the party's legal battles that resulted in the victory at the supreme court.
Sheriff Ogor speaking to journalists said that the APC administration has been all promises and no action, and has occasioned the impoverishment of Nigerians who now live in hunger and insecurity, Vanguard reports. The lawmaker said the APC having failed should see the PDP's legal victory at the supreme court as a quit notice towards 2019.
The former President Goodluck Jonathan congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the resolution of its leadership tussle by the Supreme Court. Nigeria's apex court on Wednesday, July 12, sacked Ali Modu Sheriff as the national chairman of the opposition party.
The Supreme Court in its judgement declared Ahmed Makarfi, the caretaker committee chairman, as the authentic leader of Nigeria's largest opposition party. The former president said the apex court's verdict is a judgment where there are no winners or losers, adding that it will bring the party together.

According to the company, its Intelligent Mobile Edge solution now includes a new family of fixed edge switches (the Summit X440 series), an 802.11n WLAN portfolio, a converged wireless data plane (via Motorola) and identity management over both wired and wireless networks, enabled by ExtremeXOS and Ridgeline 3.1 Manager.
It claimed that the solution mobilises business networks with a single converged data plane for wired and wireless networks. The solution includes finer-grain access controls, improved security and easier device management.
David Ginsburg, chief marketing officer at Extreme Networks, said: "Organisations are allowing their employees to access the enterprise via personal devices at a rapidly increasing rate.
"This trend has put enterprise mobility on the fast track, yet IT departments are still grappling with how to cope. With Extreme Networks Intelligent Mobile Edge Solution, we offer the leading breadth of features, critical wireless integration and uncompromised performance, enabling campuses to drive cost savings."
Extreme Networks' ten-model family of Summit X440 switches includes port density (offering 8, 12, 24 and 48 ports in 1RU) and extends the intelligence and resiliency of the ExtremeXOS network operating system to the converged edge, enabling fine-grained quality of service, 'mix and match' stacking for streamlined switch management and identity awareness.
Also launched this week is a BYOD privacy settings feature inside Fiberlink's MaaS360 mobile device management and application management solutions.
According to the company, this is an effective way for IT to block personally identifiable information from being collected on smartphones and tablets as administrators select which privacy settings they wish to implement; it said this offers a simple policy to prevent viewing of personal information on smartphones and tablets, while restricting administrators from seeing installed personal applications outside of the corporate app catalogue.
Jim Szafranski, senior vice-president of products at Fiberlink, said: "MaaS360 provides the ability to easily and confidently separate private lives from working lives. MaaS360 continues to innovate in areas for both IT and employees, making mobile working and personal choice safe and efficient for everyone."

Insurance sales usually start to grow in January of every year and reaches heights in March. This is because people start to plan to save taxes and consider buying insurance as a safe way to save tax. It is not hard to understand the reason why people start to buy more of insurance during this phase. Here we have taken 4 case studies from 4 metro areas of India to understand what kind of insurance people belonging to these areas opt for and what is the reason for it.
Case 1- New Delhi
Mr. Ashish Kapoor, 33, is a Mechanical Engineer working with an automobile company. In his family, there is his wife Roma, 32, homemaker and a 3 year old daughter CarSite.co.uk .
Mr. Kapoor earlier had no idea about what the exact life cover he had. Later on asking, he revealed that he had some 21 traditional policies and he was paying around Rs. 50,000 premium per annum towards them.
He purchased most of his policies during the December to March period every year. And this is because initially his family agent would make him buy a policy or two and later when because he started receiving HR mails at work to submit the Tax-saving proof.
This shows that the sole reason to buy life insurance was tax saving. His lack of awareness and attitude of postponing things until the last minute made him an under insured person. According to his income, he should have had a life cover of at least Rs. 1 crore, whereas his cover could barely cross Rs. 10 Lakhs.
Case 2- Kolkata
Mr. Krishan Gupta, 34, is a Commerce graduate and holds his own garments business in Kolkata. In his Family, there is his wife, Rakhi, 33 a homemaker and a 5 year old son.
However, with time Mr. Gupta felt that insurance policies were a very low yield investment and was not keen on investing in insurance. He has a term cover plan for himself and one child plan for his daughter, investing the remaining funds in PPF.
He only trust government companies after various scams that happened in Kolkata in past. He has his term plan and Child plan from LIC. He says that he is aware of cheaper term plans available in market. But he does not trust private players and thus have taken a lower cover so that he can pay the premiums.
He bought insurance for the right reason, but due to business climate and conditions, he is under-insured.
Case 3- Chennai
Mr. Ramkrishan Iyer, 43, runs a small restaurant in Chennai. His wife Saraswati, 41 is a part time school teacher. They have a 13 year old son and a 10 years old daughter.
Mr. Iyer being busy with his business has no time to look at his books of accounts. He bought insurance just because his wife's friend, Alka who had started insurance agency as pass time activity has asked him to do so. Today, Mr. Iyer has around 12 policies under his name, 10 policies in his wife's name and 2 policies each in the name of his son and daughter, but he has no clue regarding the policies he has. He does not expect these policies to secure his future or cover his life risk.
He is also apprehensive about paying taxes and thus files ITR only to the extent of having no tax liability.
This prevents him from availing a sufficient life cover for himself. He earns around 10-15 lakhs a year, but as he under reports, he is not eligible to buy a life cover of Rs. 1 crore. He knows what a term plan is, yet believes that the trade-off is worth it.
So, he bought insurance just to maintain relations. He does not have enough life cover, hampering the basic purpose of life insurance.
Case 4- Mumbai
Mr. Yogesh Chaskar, 46, is a professor serving in a leading engineering college in Mumbai. His wife, Richa, 42 is a homemaker and occasionally takes hobby classes. They have a 21 year old son Namit and an 18 year old son Rajat.
He only believes in investing in bank FDs and has faith in his banker.
He once visited his bank to open an FD, and his banker successfully sells him a ULIP. The banker said that this ULIP is almost like an FD but offers higher returns, plus insurance and tax saving. After receiving the policy document, he realized that almost 30 to 40 percent of his investment had been wiped off under various charges.
He then decided not to buy any more policies from his banker. When his wife wanted locker facility, the banker said there are only limited lockers available and that he would give the locker to those who buy an endowment plan from him. And this made the couple buy the plan to get a locker.
Here, cars the purposed of buying the insurance was unwillingness to resist the selling pressure from a service provider.
Life insurance is to cover the risks of your life, and thus it should be 10 to 12 times of your annual income at a minimum. One should buy term plan to cover life risk as this way you get sufficient cover at a lower premium. Tax saving also encourages people to cover life risk and secure their dependents.

black and whites
In preparation for hanging out with her mom and friend from college for the day, my wife baked black and white cookies to share with them, as they were a favorite of the many treats they discovered during their trip to NYC last year.
Of course, I had tons of these during the course of two days. I'd guess 8 to be a close estimate. "They're a little dry," my wife said. The hell they are, they are delicious.
The light flavor of the lemon zest in the cookie is extremely addicting. It's not enough that my wife halves all of the recipes she makes, there are always still a ton for me to eat. Someone needs to figure out how to make 'fourths' of recipes, even when it calls for just one egg in the full recipe.

Burn-Ban on the 4th?
Currently major parts of the USA are under severe drought conditions. Record high temperatures combined with record low rain-fall create an extreme fire hazard. Colorado is burning out of control, and almost all counties in Indiana have issued burn-bans. That means you can't make a fire anywhere, and you certainly cannot light your fireworks.
Many cities have canceled or postponed their fireworks displays that were planned for celebrations of the 4th of July this year. While I realize this is a necessary precaution, I still hope that IPFW's fireworks event will take place - because this is the first time I'd be able to enjoy it as a US-citizen.

From JB:
"I am seeing so many Praying Mantises on our farm lately. That is a great indicator that we are correctly managing our land... mantises need a healthy population of prey in order to live. We don't use any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or any other synthetic chemicals which wipe out soil and pasture life, so we have intact and healthy food webs. Praying Mantises also eat many pest insects... natural, biological pest control ... Plus, I love that my 5-year-old has no fear!"

I have this nasty habit (okay, it's not nasty) of writing many posts for this blog at once and instead of spacing them out throughout the week I end up posting them all up at once. Which is great! For that one day that I'm posting but then I use up all the ideas in my inspiration tank which leaves me completely tapped dry for the rest of the week. So I decided to post this rambling of what went on in my mind today.
Shopping. What else do I ever think about? I'm not just saying this because it's a beauty blog; I'm saying this because half the time this is what's on my mind. What can I buy next? If I get off at this stop on the train I can walk here, buy this and then transfer here and on and on and on ... I'm going to Boston in 22 days (!!!) to visit my B.I.F. (Best Internet Friend) Julia and I'm trying so hard, SO VERY HARD to save up money for the trip for two reasons:
- There are all these cute shops or what not in a town that I know I'll just be like OOOOOOH GIMME. I really want to have money for that so I can buy things I can't find anywhere else. Julia told me there's nothing really "chain" there (like chain restaurants, or shops). That just gets me all kinds of excited.
- THERE'S AN ULTA BY HER HOUSE. AN ULTA. A U, L, T, A, ULTA. I'm sorry, but I've just never been in one and it is like beauty heaven. To quote my dear friend Hannah Montana (LOL) it's like you "Get the best of both worlds!" High end and drugstore combined in a singular building to make my life easier. I plan to perform many shopping sins there. Except stealing ... cause that would be bad. It would also make me a thief, and not a shopaholic, sooo yeah! /rambling over
I was in the city today with my boyfriend, Mihai (he thinks it's weird that I say 'boyfriend' IDK). And I knew I had to return my M.A.C. Lipglass in Pink Lemonade. I was going to take him to the train and then return it (it's not so much that I'm being a kind girlfriend, more so that I'm trying to get rid of him so I can browse and possibly purchase things in peace). ANYWAY, I didn't take him to the train but begged him to come in with me while I returned. My boyfriend, woops, I meant Mihai, has this knack of just killing my shopping mood. So he came inside with me to the Macy's, I returned it, got $15 (that I will without a doubt spend at ULTA) and left without anything else. Boyfriends. So useful sometimes, huh?
I really have no idea what I just said in the last few paragraphs. I didn't know what I wanted to start with, but I knew what I wanted to end with. I just needed a push to get to this point. It's sort of like writing papers for college. I know what I want to see and I know point ... I just don't know how to get there. (I think I've completely gone off point now)
FINAL POINT: I am now making mental shopping lists in my head for ULTA and LUSH. I intend to spend no more than $100 in total (LOL, who gives themselves this much to spend?!) If you'd like I'll gladly share those lists here with you guys when they're completed! :)
ALSO, I'd love to know if you guys have any suggestions for posts or even videos you'd like to see? I've written up a list and plan to get a lot done this Friday. Let me know in the comments, please! :)
And with that, goodnight all!

"I'm going to do today what others won't, so I can do tomorrow what others cannot."
Why do some people get up at 5 am? Why are they in the gym by 6 am? Why do they prioritize their food, their sleep, their mobility, and their training? Why are they succeeding in work? How do they make it all seem so easy? How do they find balance? What differentiates those who never give up, and those that do? What makes a champion? These are all valid questions, and there are numerous answers. However, there is one common building block that all successful people have.
Motivation is an internal energy force that determines how we behave; it also impacts how we think, feel and interact with others. In sport, motivation is an essential prerequisite to reach your potential. However, given its inherently abstract nature, it is a force that is often difficult to exploit fully. Initial motivation is easy, maintaining it through the $h!tty days is another story.
What do I mean by that? Well, we have all seen the YouTube video Bodybuilding.com released of Mat Fraser grinding away in his basement. The series was called "The Making of a Champion and episode one was subtitled "When no-one is looking". In it, Fraser talks about how he puts in the hours when there is nobody around to cheer. Nobody to tell him good job. Just himself, the bar, and the clock. Knowing that, although it sucks now, it will pay off. Might not pay off today, tomorrow, or next month, but it will pay off eventually.
Motivation, in my mind, is an interesting thing. I believe true motivation comes from a goal that is truly yours. What I mean by that is a goal you would die for. A goal that is entirely yours. Something you do for you, not for the crowd, not for someone else, but purely for you. Intrinsic motivation is the most powerful form. It is the people who want to prove to themselves that they are capable of X, Y, or Z that are 100% all in. When you have a goal based around beating someone else… well chances are it will be much harder to stick to. Do you think Fraser trains hard to beat his competition? No. He trains to prove to himself that he is number one. That he is the fittest on earth.
I don't believe you can be motivated by someone else, but you can be inspired. It may seem like a subtle distinction, but the worlds of motivation and inspiration are millions of miles apart. However, when motivation and inspiration meet, that is when the magic happens. Think of it this way; you need to be inspired to start, and motivated to continue. Some say motivation is not a positive thing, that it only refers to external factors but I disagree. In my experience, you need to be motivated to keep pushing, to keep going, to remember the goal when you are feeling like crap.
Let me tell you about a member who epitomizes motivation and inspiration. We all know Thea Lund. We all look at her and think "hot dayumn, that gal is a beast". It is so easy to fall into the idea that she was born that way, that it comes easily to her. This is not the case. I recently started training with Thea at 6 am and have gotten an inside look into what it truly means to have goals and give them everything. To be internally motivated to the point where not even injury can derail you. Thea knows there is always a way to improve, there are always things to work on, and you can never stop believing in yourself.
Currently, Thea is having some back issues but unlike so many others, she refuses to use this as an excuse to give up. Thea still wakes up at 4:30 am and is in the gym by 6 am. Currently, she is focusing on some mental game, aerobic capacity, fixing movement patterns, and improving her gymnastics and body awareness. That is motivation.
Motivation is a funny thing. It comes easily in the beginning but it can leave you just as fast. Whether you have athletic goals, career goals, or life goals, you need to be motivated to tackle the hard stuff and just keep on moving towards those goals. Even when there is nobody around to pick you up or tell you how great you are.
So, what motivates you? Are you doing everything it takes? If not, assess if you are truly inspired and motivated by the goal. The only one who can push you is staring back in the mirror.

Ever wondered what to do with your used ink cartridges? Well, why not sell them? Take a look at where to recycle ink cartridges for cash
I'm not sure about you, but having a printer has become a very important part of our household. My wife runs her childminding business here, my kids are always printing for their homework and I am often printing off postage labels. We can sometimes get through over 100 pages per month.
The cost of printers is very reasonable too. A basic machine will set you back around £30 and you can purchase a very good model for less than £100.
The real cost comes from ink cartridges. Depending on the make, they can cost anywhere between £10 and £30.
We use a scheme called HP Instant Ink which save us a lot of money. Each month, HP send us a new cartridge and kindly supply us with an envelope to return our old cartridge for free.
Why do they want the empty cartridges back?
I always thought it was very generous of HP to recycle my old cartridges for free. In fact, it made me a little suspicious. So I decided to dig a little deeper. It turns out that many companies want your empty cartridges so they can refill them and then sell them on.
Where is best for selling old ink cartridges?
There are plenty of places you can recycle old toner cartridges for money. Prices they pay vary from company to company, so it's certainly worth comparing. Most will provide you with a free-post label to send your cartridges in.
My preferred choice is The Recycling Factory, based only on the fact I have used them before. Also, take a look at places like Empties Please and Takeback Ltd to see which offers the best price.
What do I need to know?
First of all, you will need to know the manufacturer and whether it is black or a colour cartridge. It will usually state on the cartridge itself. If you can't tell, then take a look at your printer manual or online.
Next, you will need to know if it is virgin or non-virgin. Virgin means that it is an original cartridge bought straight from the main supplier. A non-virgin cartridge is one that has previously been refilled or it will have a label from another company such as Tesco or Asda.
The cartridges above are all virgin as they were bought straight from HP and have their logo.
If you can't tell, don't worry too much. Still, send them and let the recycling company decide.
What next?
This depends on the company. You will usually need to create an account which will allow you to print off a postage label (often free). You then send the cartridges off to your chosen recycler and wait for them to get in contact.
In the case of The Recycling Factory, it takes them around a month before they come back with how much they will give you for the cartridges.
How will you be paid?
Normally through a direct bank transfer or by cheque (remember those?) Some companies do have a minimum threshold of how much they will send you, so you may not receive your payment until you've sent enough cartridges.
Any downsides to ink cartridge recycling?
The fact is, you are relying on these companies to be honest. Once you've sent your cartridges, that's it, they're gone. If the company contacts you to say that the old ink cartridges weren't any good and they won't be sending you any cash, then you have to accept that.
However, if you never received money from them before, it's not like you're missing out anyway.
If you don't fancy a recycling company, you could try to sell your empties on eBay. There are plenty of empty cartridges listed on there and many seem to sell. You do need to consider that you will have to pay fees though.
Is ink cartridge recycling worth it?
This is certainly worth looking into, especially if you print a lot at home. Take a look at some of the companies I listed above to see who will give you the best price for your old cartridges.

History, Sociology and Anthropology News
Emily Dean, Associate Professor of Anthropology, is currently co-authoring a book (with Bill Sillar) titled Mountains, Myths, and Monuments: An Andean Landscape Biography as well as contributing to an edited volume: Recent Archaeology at Formative Chiripa.
Professor Dean received SUU's Outstanding Educator award in May, co-directed the Archaeology Field-school in June (this year students excavated at Fort Harmony and surveyed public lands in the Cedar area), and -- generously funded by a FSSF research grant -- investigated late Inca occupations in the Cuzco, Peru region in July and August. Recently, she and Barbara Frank renewed a $25,000 collaborative grant with Bryce Canyon National Park. This two year project trains and employs SUU students to help conduct archaeological surveys in the park. Emily is excited about the prospect of helping to design and implement a new Anthropology major.
Elizabeth A. Olson (PhD, Case Western Reserve University, 2009) is a new Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the History, Sociology, and Anthropology department at Southern Utah University, in Cedar City, Utah. I am very excited to be a member of the History, Sociology, and Anthropology team at SUU and am particularly enthusiastic about our new Anthropology major. My research interests are related to plants and health – ethnomedical systems, community-based development, international health, and anthropological field methods. My anthropological research has looked at traditional healing systems in Utah, the Bolivian Amazon, and Mexico. My work with traditional medical systems has led me to focus on the intersections among health, environments, and economic markets. Themes in my courses include global health, medical anthropology, cross-cultural models of childbirth, sustainable development and conservation, environmental anthropology, and cultural studies of science.
Last year, I published my ethnographic study of conservation and traditional medicine in the context of community development in Mexico, Indigenous Knowledge and Development: Livelihoods, health experiences and medicinal plant knowledge in a Mexican Biosphere Reserve, (2014). I am currently engaged in research regarding the globalization of medicinal plant knowledge and the relationships between indigenous, professional, and lay uses of medicinal plant knowledge across various ethnomedical systems (especially homeopathy and anthroposophy). I am co-editing a new ethnographic series Global Change, Global Health, with my colleague Dr. Cissy Fowler (Wofford College). I serve actively in the Society of Ethnobiology and the Culture & Agriculture section of the American Anthropological Association. I co-edited a Special Issue for Conservation and Society "The Biodiversity Conservation Industry in Mexico" with Jose Martínez-Reyes and Leticia Durand Smith which was released in 2014. I am currently working on a project with John Richard Stepp to co-edit a volume for the Springer series on Ethnobiology titled, Plants & Health: New Perspectives on the Human Relationships to Medicinal Plants. The volume on Plants & Health includes contributions by scholars from around the globe and highlighting diverse theoretical stances on the many ways that human groups rely on plants to maintain health.

Patch.com reporter Sarah Studley came to Pace's Pleasantville campus to watch the second 2012 Presidential debate with Pace students and faculty.
Her interviews with students as well as commentary from political science professor Greg Julian can be found here:
From Patch.com:
There was Big Bird. Then there was "malarky." And now there are "binders full of women."
While these comical word choices for the presidential and vice presidential candidates have been making headlines over the past few weeks leading up to the November debate, Pace University students in Pleasantville were more concerned with divisive issues Tuesday night.
While tuning into the Hofstra University Town Hall style presidential debate, students and faculty at the campus laughed at some of President Barack Obama's retorts, "Ooohed" at Mitt Romney's attacks and took a critical look at the debate as a whole.
Following the just over hour-and-a-half long exchange, moderated by CNN's Candy Crowley, Pace students dissected the candidates' responses and strategies.
The two candidates will meet a final time before the November 6 election on Monday, Oct. 22.
The last Presidential debate watch party was covered by Scott Salotto from WABC news radio/Imus in the Morning.

Editorial: SF mental health care is urgent enough to get right
Haney and Ronen deserve credit not just for their willingness to revise the proposal but also for their insistence on grappling with the crisis in a concerted and coordinated fashion. The supervisors' frustration with the current state of affairs is palpable and appropriate. Mental health care is a national failure that is more visible and visceral in San Francisco, where too many struggles with mental illness take place on the streets among the city's disproportionate and rapidly growing population of homeless people.
That is in large part due to the persistent housing shortage that is forcing more and more vulnerable San Franciscans out of their homes — and on which the Board of Supervisors has a nearly perfect record of dithering and denial. That could be one reason for Haney and Ronen's misguided determination to address mental illness generally rather than focus on the most pressing aspects of the problem in the city. The supervisors have proposed a sweeping new entitlement extending to every resident with a mild case of anxiety or depression — almost as if housing and caring for those contending with the most severe diseases and the most dire circumstances weren't sufficiently difficult.
The delay will also give the supervisors and the administration a chance to answer the related question of how much the program will cost and how the city will pay for it. The supervisors and the administration, obviously at loggerheads over this and other matters, have provided cost estimates that varied by a factor of at least three and as much as 15 — from $70 million to $1.1 billion a year — leaving any voter attempting to gauge the expense at a complete loss.
Breed recently created and filled a new post, director of mental health reform, to evaluate the city's system and recommend reforms, and she has plans to spend an additional $50 million on mental health care, which already costs the city nearly $400 million a year. Given that any program the supervisors come up with will be run by the mayor's Department of Public Health, the supervisors and Breed should strive to reach consensus on more than just the likely budget of any major mental health care initiative. "In an ideal world," Ronen told The Chronicle this week, "we would have been working on this together from the get-go." Hear, hear.
Then there is the supervisors' quirky proposed means of paying for the new mental health program: an added corporate tax based on the discrepancy between chief executive and rank-and-file salaries. Whatever its appeal as a populist political statement, it doesn't rise to the level of serious fiscal policy. Wealth inequality is yet another significant national problem that the supervisors should forgo attempting to solve in favor of the abundant challenges more plainly within their purview. Compounding its shortcomings, the new levy was originally scheduled to go before voters four months after they cast ballots on the program it would fund.
Once the supervisors figure out how much their program is likely to cost, they should devise a rational, stable and concurrent means of providing the needed revenue. A mental health program that is fiscally and otherwise sound will be more likely to achieve the supervisors' lofty goals.

Florida State and Miami came into their annual rivalry game with identical 4-4 records, the first time since 1975 that neither team had a record of above .500. Exiting it, was The U making a little bit of history that's a little more recent.
With Jarren Williams back under center for the first time in three games, the redshirt freshman quarterback passed for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns in leading the Hurricanes to an impressive 27-10 win over the Seminoles. The yards are a career-high for Williams, surpassing the 309 he put up in a Week 2 loss to North Carolina.
The 17-point win is Miami's largest in the series since a 22-point triumph in 2001, which was also played in Tallahassee. The U has also won three straight against FSU, its longest streak in the rivalry since winning six in a row from 2000-04.
Williams opened the scoring with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Thomas halfway through the first quarter. He also put the game out of reach with his second scoring toss of the game, a 56-yarder early in the fourth quarter that proved to much for the 'Noles to overcome.
Outside of 0-0 at kickoff, the closest the Seminoles would get in this game was at 7-3 early in the second quarter.
Despite being just 3-3 in ACC play, the win keeps the Hurricanes in the thick of wild Coastal Division race. UM is just a half-game out of first place, with Pitt, Virginia and North Carolina sitting atop the division at 3-2 (UVa. and UNC play tonight, Pitt has already won). Virginia Tech sits at 2-2 while Duke is at 2-3.
The U, though, has just two league games left — home against Louisville (11/9) and on the road at Duke (11/30). They have already lost to North Carolina and Virginia Tech — and 1-4-in-ACC-play Georgia Tech; still don't understand how the hell that one happened — but have beaten Virginia and Pitt.
For FSU, they'll need to win at least two of their final three games — a Boston College, FCS Alabama State, at Florida — to become bowl-eligible. If they don't get those two wins, it'll be the first time since the mid-seventies that the Seminoles have gone bowl-less in back-to-back seasons.

The promise of a new year unfolding, the excitement of possibilities unleashed into the world, the dare of whether or not I can manage to stay up past midnight… Sadly, I lasted until 10:40pm watching Fairy Tale with Dan. But here are some of the games and decor I did. Some of which we will be doing on the 1st, instead of the 31st. New Year's Eve banner on the stairs. At least the cats didn't get to it! I found this lovely banner on Paper Trail Design and was able to print it and cut it out myself. It added a nice touch to the festivities. When it came to games, we didn't get a chance to do a lot of them because of my turning into a pumpkin. But we did do the New Year's Eve Countdown Bags from Party Delights. I had to modify it slightly as I didn't have bags or small children. Instead, I used envelopes and wrote different questions or commands inside for us to do. The first envelope that we opened at 7am read "Practice New Year's Eve Kiss." The last one we opened before going to bed was "What's a 2018 secret you want to get off your chest?" We had a good time with those. I highly recommend. It's easy to do and inexpensive. The gift envelopes lined up at the bottom of the TV. Two other games I had printed and ready to go, but never got to, were New Year's goals. So we have something to think about and look forward to over the coming year. I used this planner printable from Zooll Graphics and another from Moritz Fine Designs to track things by month. We're planning on doing these sometime this morning. I think it will be fun to put some ideas into perspective and plan out how we'd like the year to go. Triton came to say hi!

On a quick side note, tonight was my first night at work that I didn't screw up anyone's order.
Not one.
I had a table of ten ladies and the emerging waitress in me handled it semi-beautifully.
It wasn't like Wednesday night when I brought a nice lady a Filet Mignon instead of a 16 oz sizzling steak. And she didn't have time for me to have the order fixed.
And then right before I get their check I find out it was her birthday.
It was awesome. Awesomely awful.
But tonight I managed to get the food right. And the drinks right.
Hey, I did all right.
And now, I shall paste 5 totally random questions from Mama M's 5 ? Friday. I have no idea what I'm about to reveal.
I'm living on the wild side.
I have big dreams for it. I'm talkin' patios and mudrooms and new fireplaces.
But we can never achieve any real greatness because just when we near being able to make an improvement something breaks. And we spend $1000 fixing something totally boring like a Well Mate rather than on kick ass patio furniture.
Hubby will tell me if I really let things go. He's got my back.
My Dad is rad. Like totally. (Child of the 90's here).
For his 40th birthday he took his three oldest children with him for his 1st tattoo.
I was smart enough to design my own, and put them in places I don't see them.
Like my butt. I mean back.
I don't want to spoil their current clean cut image of their mother. The truth would be quite a shock to their systems.
And Hubby's.
4. If the traffic signal turns yellow, do you stop or speed up?
Am I late or am I on time?
5. What's your preference: chocolate or chips?
I even like chips dipped in chocolate.
Is anyone following this?
It was fabulous.

The operator of a Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship seized by Iran said the vessel has been released and that the crew are all in good condition.
Rickmers Ship Management said that the MV Maersk Tigris had been released following a court order.
It will now continue its scheduled voyage to Jebel Ali, in the United Arab Emirates, where it will be met by representatives from Rickmers and others.
Iranian forces seized the ship on April 28 as it traversed the Strait of Hormuz. It was taken to Bandar Abbas, the main port of Iran's navy, under escort by Iranian patrol boats.
Iran claimed that the Danish shipping company that chartered the ship, Maersk Line, owed money to an Iranian firm. Rickmers' statement did not mention whether any money was paid.

Music is a family affair for Joe Brown
JOE BROWN would once have been a natural X Factor contestant – a cheeky teenager with a winning grin and a knack for the guitar.
Instead he became Britain's first true pop star at a time when you did it yourself, having his first taste of chart success in early 1960. Now 72, Joe watches stars come and go while rocking on relentlessly– he's about to start a 39-date tour that will take him through to Christmas.
He's also the head of an extended rock 'n' roll family, a veritable musical dynasty. The chirpy East End chat only slows for a moment as he says: "One of the things I regret is that when the kids were growing up I worked seven days a week all the time and hardly ever saw them."
Today, though, things are different. Brown's work rate might not have slowed but he's doing what he wants and the family are with him, not least multi-instrumentalist son Pete, who is his musical director and record producer, the latest of which is The Ukulele Album. Its eclectic mix of songs, from George Formby's When I'm Cleaning Windows to Motorhead's Ace Of Spades, is played in modern but ukulele-led fashion and features the International Ukulele Club of Sonning Common.
The latter is led by daughter Sam, who had her own hits including Stop! which reached No4 in 1989. "Sam lost her voice about eight years ago when she had an operation for nodules on her vocal cords, so now she's running ukulele clubs," he says. As well as touring with acts as varied as Pink Floyd and Jools Holland during her singing days, Sam is also a talented keyboard player who has toured with her father's band.
One of the things I regret is that when the kids were growing up I worked seven days a week all the time and hardly ever saw them
Her mother Vicki, who died from cancer in 1991, sang with Fifties and Sixties girl groups The Vernon Girls and The Breakaways.
"Vicki was one of the top session singers in the country so Sam was doing session work when she was 14," says Brown. "She has always wanted to be a musician as opposed to a pop star. When she was growing up she saw me doing things I didn't want to, singing other people's songs. She decided she was going to do her own stuff. "
After the disappointment of not being there for the children when they were young, Brown says: "I see them more now and they're still my kids. Sam's nearly 50 but she's still my little daughter. I'm very lucky."
There are regrets that, for a long while, Sam lived in a remote Scottish cottage and he missed out on grandchildren Vicki and Mohan. "I didn't see Vicki or Mo and they grew up without a grandad," he says. He's delighted they're now back living nearby – and that Mo, 18, is leading the next Brown generation of musicians, starting to make a name for himself as a singer-songwriter.
Joe was 18 himself when he appeared on TV in the early music show Boy Meets Girls, playing guitar and backing the likes of Johnny Cash. He'd started out with his skiffle group The Spacemen aged 14 and was then spotted by the show's producer Jack Good. By 1960 he was touring with Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran and was due to be in the car that crashed, crippling Vincent and killing Cochran. Brown escaped only because his growing popularity meant that he'd been pulled off the tour for solo dates.
He was just 21 when A Picture Of You reached No2. He was a star, one that The Beatles were delighted to support. "They had their first big hit at the end of '62, and they opened for me at the beginning of '62 in Liverpool," he says.
Like so many other stars of the time Joe diversified as the music scene changed. "I was in the West End for two-and-a-half years with Anna Neagle in Charlie Girl, I toured in a straight play Sleuth and I've done panto," he says.
He rebelled against his new light entertainer lifestyle, not altogether successfully. "In the Seventies I formed Brown's Home Brew band and decided I wasn't going to sing my old hits, just grow my hair long and do all my new stuff. Sam saw the disappointment in me when I had to go back and do all the nightclubs to earn a living. What we do now is what we should have been doing then. We do the hits we want and the rest is music from all over the world that I like to do."
Other family members often feature in Joe's music. "My foster son is Richard Newman, a great drummer, and his father was Tony Newman, drummer from Sounds Incorporated, who backed all the early rock stars – Little Richard and all those guys.
"His dad and mum split up and Richard ended up in a home in Wales and when I heard about it I thought 'I'm not having that'. Richard's mum Margo was Vicki's best friend and they were in The Breakaways together, so he came to live with us. Pete and Sam consider him their brother."
And then there's Mollie Marriott, daughter of late Small Faces front man Steve Marriott. He died within a couple of months of Vicki and later Joe and Mollie's mum Manon Pearcey became an item. "Vicky had been gone four or five years when Manon and I got together," he says.
" Mollie, now 28, is a great singer, a great musician and a lovely person. She does lots of gigs."
Joe and Manon were married in 2000 and their best man was George Harrison, a close friend . After the Beatle's death in 2001, Joe played at the Concert For George memorial show, performing a touching version of I'll See You In My Dreams on ukulele.
Joe, who received an MBE in 2009, has seven grandchildren. Yet the families are all so busy that they mostly get together when they're working. "Life's a lot more settled ," he says. "We all have our problems – but not with each other."
? Joe Brown's tour starts at the Royal Spa Centre, Leamington Spa, on September 26. The Ukulele Album, including bonus live CD, is out shortly

Swimming and water sports
Many water sports can be made safer for people with epilepsy, by taking the right safety measures. This means considering what risk the activity involves as well as how your epilepsy affects you. For example, there may be different risks for water-skiing than for dinghy sailing if you have seizures where you lose consciousness.
Wearing a lifejacket is recommended for most water sports. It is also important to have someone with you who knows how to help if you have a seizure, like a friend or instructor.
Kayaking and canoeing
British Canoeing says that there can be risks for people with epilepsy who paddle a kayak or canoe. If a kayak overturns when someone has a seizure they could be trapped underneath and their buoyancy aid could keep them pressed up under the kayak. Although this is a risk for anyone who tips over a kayak, it is more of a risk for someone having a seizure as they may be unconscious or only partly conscious at the time.
There is less risk of being trapped underneath an open canoe (sometimes called a Canadian canoe) during a seizure.
Scuba diving
Scuba diving carries risks including drowning, as well as conditions caused by breathing various levels of oxygen or nitrogen at depth.
Scuba diving is not recommended for people who have seizures because of the risk of having a seizure underwater. Having a seizure underwater can be life-threatening and may also endanger the life of the diving buddy or other companions.
Once somebody has well-controlled seizures on medication the risk of further seizures is reduced but is never removed completely.
The British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC) recommends that people must be seizure-free for five years without taking AEDs, before they consider scuba diving.(Where seizures only happen during sleep, this can be considered on an individual basis).
If you have seizures, seek advice from your doctor or epilepsy nurse about factors that could affect your safety when swimming. It is a good idea to swim with someone who knows about the type of seizures you have, and that they know how to help you if you have a seizure in the water.
Swimming in the sea, a river, or other open water is more risky than in a swimming pool because of currents, tides, sudden changes in depth, and colder water temperatures, even in summer. If you have a seizure in open water, it may also be harder for someone to see that you are having a seizure or to be able to help you. Some pools, such as hotel pools, may not have lifeguards and so these have extra risk.
At a swimming pool, you could tell the lifeguards how they can help you if you have a seizure. Some people swim during quieter swimming sessions so it is easier for the lifeguards to see them.
If you have a seizure in the water, lifeguards or a friend can help you by supporting your head above the water, and gently towing you to a depth where they can stand up, or to the poolside. They can then support you in the water until the seizure stops. If you are near the poolside, they may need to protect you from hitting the side and injuring yourself.
You may need medical attention to check that you have not inhaled water during a seizure, even if you feel fine. It is also important for someone to stay with you afterwards and check that your breathing has returned to normal.
