More than 100 people braved the unpredictable weather to support Macdonald Youth Services workers.
Winnipeg (18 July 2015) — Despite the unpredictable weather, more than a hundred members of the Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union (MGEU/NUPGE) and supporters turned out for the Macdonald Youth Services Crisis Stabilization information picket on July 12.
MGEU/NUPGE members urge government to honour financial commitment at Macdonald Youth Services
These MGEU/NUPGE members provide specialized crisis response care for Manitoba's most vulnerable young people. Yet they have been without a new contract for more than two years. The purpose of today's picket was to bring some attention for the vital services these MGEU/NUPGE members provide every day.
"We are calling on the government to honour their financial commitment and do the right thing for these workers, vulnerable young people, and all Manitobans," said MGEU President Michelle Gawronsky. "A big thank you to all of the affiliated unions who joined us for the picket today. Their support was fantastic."
Send your message
If you were unable to join the MGEU/NUPGE members for the picket, please support them by taking a minute to send a message to government. Ask them to do the right thing by honouring their financial commitment.
The National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 360,000 members. Our mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. NUPGE

T-Series has taken it upon themselves to take masterpieces sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and reboot them in the voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and 'modernize' the song with latest beats. They did it with 'Mere Rashq-e-kamar' in Baadshaho and the music became a superhit and more so than the film itself because apparently no one wants to listen the sufi songs in their true nature everybody wants them shorter and straight on point with many guitars basically destroying the very culture of this country.
This time makers of Ajay Devgn starrer 'Raid' decided to manipulate Nusrat Sahab's classic 'Sanu Ik Pal' in the voice of Rahat basically sucking up the raw beauty out of the song and particularly all the sufiness by decorating it with their fairness cream of trend which is meant to kill the music in music. Raid utilizes this highly intense song to showcase the regular routine of Devgn's life and his basic romance with Ileana like looking back when leaving the home. The song primarily consist of a lifetime of pain in it but makers did not bother to pay this attention.
All makers wanted is to utilize this song somehow and chose some visuals from the film 'Raid' to put it out in the market as it just does not matter if the video is even being synchronized with it at all. Most Nusrat songs are in Lahori Punjabi and Urdu but the Ghalib's sitting in T Series have the audacity to not just re-write the lyrics but also make them into simple Hindi words of no gravitas by just keeping the Huq line so that they can later sell it with the reputation of a classic. To make these songs "simple" is an artistic crime because the original artists did not make it to earn some views on YouTube.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn—Three men were wounded on Wednesday—one of them later succumbing to his injuries—after gunfire erupted on the street.
The shooting started at around 12:45 a.m. on Hewes Street near South 3rd Street, police said.
A 19-year-old male was shot in the head and was rushed to Woodhull Medical Center where he was pronounced dead; a second 19-year-old male was shot in the chest, and arrived at Woodhull MC by private means. He was listed in stable condition there, the NYPD said.
The third shooting victim—a 21-year-old male— was shot once in the abdomen and then walked into the 90th Precinct station house, according to police. The man was later transported to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, police said.
Williamsburg News—a local group that publishes news updates and photos on their Twitter account—released photos that show a man inside the 90th Precinct, surrounded by volunteer medical workers and police officers.

After the two surviving men were released from the hospital, they were arrested and charged for their roles in the shooting, the NYPD stated. Police did not immediately release exactly what either man was being charged with.
Police will not release the identity of the deceased 19-year-old until his family can be notified.
The NYPD said the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

The buildings on the Dotonbori street from Namba, Osaka are renowned for their extravagant billboards (for example see the Kani Doraku Crab or the Kinryu Ramen). But not only the billboards are special on Dotonbori - you can also find here some interesting buildings, like the one in this photo, the Nakaza Cuidaore.
With 6 floors housing restaurants, coffee shops, karaoke venues and souvenirs shops, the building is the work of a well known Japanese designer, Yasumichi Morita. The small black silhouettes on the white pyramidal decorations are representing one of the symbols of Dotonbori, Kuidaore Taro, a life-size mechanical drum-playing clown (you can spot him in the photo, right at the entrance, wearing clothes with red and white stripes).

Living in Los Angeles, California, it was impossible to avoid the dichotomoy of swimwear: sick designs or high quality? And at what price? That's when she realized that we shouldn't have to choose. Why not have it all? She began small, creating custom pieces for her friends, who flaunted them with the swag that only comes from ultimate confidence. So maybe it was this empowering glow that her swimwear gave people, or maybe it was simply the combination of quality and uniqueness, but nonetheless a huge demand for Strange Bikinis was born.
Throughout the years, Ali's never lost touch with her sole purpose for starting the line in the first place: the women behind it. Every stranger out there adventuring the world, handstanding in her studio and dancing at festivals inspires the next dreamy bikini. The connection that Ali has with each one of her customers is exactly what drives her.

Geishas are highly trained in a variety of forms of entertainment including dancing, singing, flute, and shamisen (a three-stringed Japanese guitar) performing, and are also widely regarded as masters of hospitality. In order to achieve this level of skill and expertise, The Geishas undergo at least five years of intense training before they are allowed to host guests on their own. This program has a duration of 1 hour.
Geishas are one of the most misunderstood pieces of the Japanese cultural puzzle. These traditional Japanese entertainers are trained as hostesses with skills in various Japanese arts, particularly dance, music and the tea ceremony. The history of Geishas goes back to the eighteenth century, and even after so much time, modern Geishas still undergo a long apprenticeship process, live in traditional Geisha houses and study traditional Japanese instruments.While Kyoto is considered the most famous Japanese city for Geishas, you'll find them in several areas of Tokyo as well. Throughout the 60-minute event, the Geisha will perform traditional dances and songs and will converse and play traditional Japanese games with guests.Be mesmerized by the dance and song along with the tune of the Shamisen Japanese guitar to get a glimpse into the world of Geishas. Enjoy playing interactive games passed on for centuries. Makes for a great and memorable activity to enjoy with your family, friends or co-workers. You can also be fitted with a beautiful Kimono gown to make this experience even more memorable.

At Vietzke Trenchless, we offer both sewer cleanout and sewer installation services for the Kennewick area and the greater Washington state. For over 50 years, our technicians and associates have helped home and business owners resolve their sewage and drainage issues. Among our many services is the installation of a sewer cleanout, and our employees will make it their priority to ensure your complete and lasting satisfaction.
What Exactly is a Sewer Cleanout?
A sewer cleanout, in comparison to pipe bursting or trenchless sewer repair, is a fundamentally simple process. Traditionally, sewer cleanouts are installed by the excavation of a small entrance hole in proximity to your outgoing sewer line. The structure is essentially a pillar, featuring a threaded cap at the top for ease of access from above ground. This thread is most often opened with a matched wrench, and are most effective if installed in regular intervals for each 100 feet of sewer pipe. Cleanouts can be installed on your property for ease of access and maintenance.
Sewer Cleanouts in the Kennewick Area
In the Kennewick area, Vietzke is the longest-lived sewer cleanout specialist. Our previous years of experience have allowed our employees to become some of the most successful sewage/drainage technicians in the state of Washington. The climate and topography of the Kennewick area, and the Pacific Northwest in general, often necessitate the installation of a sewer cleanout. This expertise is integral to the installation of your sewer cleanout, as well as the continued maintenance of your sewer system.
The Benefits of Regular Sewer Cleanout Services
The installation of a sewer cleanout in your home or business confers a number of benefits, especially when your system experiences temperature fluctuations, or irregular use. Chief among these benefits is flood prevention, permitted by the height of the cleanout. In the Pacific Northwest, especially during the more rainy seasons, ensuring your residence or commercial property is free of flooding is critical. In addition, the installation of a cleanout negates the use of complex drills on your property by providing access to the sewer line without requiring a full excavation. Finally, the presence of a sewer cleanout does a great job preventing common clogs, and to reduce the impact of irregular clogs that would require professional removal.
Vietzke Trenchless: Your Sewer Cleanout Installation Professionals
With Vietzke Trenchless, we are able to provide a complete installation of a sewer cleanout within your Kennewick home or business, as well as preventative maintenance moving forward. Our longevity and commitment to the complete satisfaction of our customers is our top priority. In the event that your commercial establishment or residence requires a sewer cleanout, or if you just have questions regarding the process as it pertains to your particular sewage situation, don't hesitate to give us a call.


text: What would you do with $500 to invest in your closet? Well, one reader asked me so I've answered with both high and low end options for must have fashion that won't break the bank. The low end picks are even under $300. Eek! As you already guessed, I'm loving the slightly destructed denim, duh, fur trimmed coat, statement bag and mom friendly flat that we can all stand behind. Even the girl who swears by heels will be a fan of these. Thankfully, Isabel Marant even admitted a pair of jeans are safe to buy on a budget. <Phew> Add this soft tee and you have an effortless more bang, less buck for that c'est la vie not every piece I own is a rent check I'm still saving for my Paris soiree look.

The end of the season is near for us Oregon bike racers. California still has a lot of action going through September(why don't we here in Oregon? The banana belts should be in September instead of march, breast way better weather!) but here its cross time. I guess that's no surprise, I think it would be a tough case to argue against that Oregon has the best cross scene in the nation, with cross stuff going on every week, all over the place, and the huge numbers that turn out to races such as the Cross Crusade. All that and some of the top cross racers in the nation hang out here.
But I still have a bit of California racer blood in my legs, and have a hard time saying goodbye to road races in august. Ill have to catch some of the early season cross races before saying so long to the start line this season.
Ill also spend some more time exploring new roads on the cross bike, and climbing incredibly steep hills only to bonk half way up, and eating blackberries on the side of the path to get the sugar needed to make it back. Yep, sounds like some good times.

We are looking forward to seeing some great costumes at our Creepy Crawly Halloween event this Sunday from 4-7pm! It's an all ages event so get costumed up and show us that you're young at heart or an old soul for young bones.
We'd like to remind everyone that this is an extremely popular event so if you have children or animals that are sensitive, this may not be the event for you. It will be crowded.
There will be thousands of people and paws in amazing costumes. If you're coming to see that and be a part of huge costume party in the streets, you'll have a great time. If you're coming to dash for candy and leave with as big of a stash as possible, you may leave disappointed.
There will be lots of candy and gizmos given away and activity stations to keep the little goblins occupied, but there will still be lines. We add more candy, activities, and stations every year, but it's just never going to be enough with the number of people who come.

Nissan Radiator Service
Nissan Radiator Service in Las Vegas
Radiator Service at United Nissan
The engine in your Nissan runs at incredibly high temperatures. If left unchecked, it would overheat and break down. But your radiator keeps this from happening.
The radiator in your car, truck, or SUV ensures that the engine stays cool. It does this by cooling the coolant which flows from the engine. When the heat from the coolant dissipates, the chilled air then passes back to the engine and an acceptable operating temperature is maintained.
This is all only true, of course, when your radiator is functioning at full capacity.
To keep it working properly, you'll need to have your radiator flushed at periodic intervals.
A Radiator Flush is a type of preventative maintenance that helps stop the buildup of particles and debris within your Nissan's cooling system.
As a general rule, you should have this done every 30,000 miles or three years — whichever comes first. Consult your owner's manual to determine the specific recommendation to have this service completed for your Nissan's exact make and model.
If you go too long without having your radiator flushed, it can cause damage and repairs may be required.
Las Vegas Area Certified Nissan Radiator Repairs
Signs You are Overdue for Radiator Service
- Green or Orange liquid pooling beneath your Nissan
- Grinding Sounds coming from the engine
- Extremely high operating temperatures
- Steam coming from beneath your hood
- A sickly sweet smell coming from your engine — it will be similar to the scent of hot maple syrup
It's best to follow your recommended radiator service schedule and keep your vehicle from getting to this point.
However, if your Nissan does display any of the aforementioned warning signs and requires radiator repairs, United Nissan is the place to go for drivers in Las Vegas.

Reputation Management For Your Company's Success
Online reputation management is a key factor in the success of brands in the twenty-first century. Ensuring that your brand has a positive online reputation is an excellent way to cultivate new customers and to retain old ones. However, in a time when everyone and everyone has access to the internet, how can you safeguard your brand's name against inevitable negative reviews? That is where an online reputation management company comes into the picture. Www.searchreputation.net is a firm in the Montréal area that will take your company's qualms to heart and guarantee that your online reputation will grow in a positive fashion.
Before the internet grew to be the titan of the world that it is today, people relied on word of mouth to choose where to bring their business. In much the same way that a negative experience would influence a customer's opinion of you, and therefore whether he/she would recommend you to friends, negative comments or reviews will affect your bottom line in today's world. Not only do negative reviews look bad, but they also tend to show up in search engine results when a potential consumer is looking you up online. When someone uses a search engine to look up results you want them to be able to easily find your company on the first page, but you also want to make sure that what they see on the page is only what you put there – not what an angry customer has vented about.
So how does an online reputation management team accomplish the task of keeping only positive reviews and your own website in view of consumers? They use multiple outlets to target the problem, thereby providing an all encompassing take on your brand. They guarantee to not only lower the visibility of negative search results in search engine results, but they promise to boost the positive reviews and mentions at the same time. They can also increase the possibility of your company coming up in the autocomplete bar of a search engine.
Having a team to look after your online reputation is a great tool in the arsenal of any manager or business owner. While you take care of the product or service itself, the outside team can survey and monitor how outside sources are influencing your business. Together you can rest assured that your brand will have increased traffic and that business will increase.

One of the things I love most about React compared to other frameworks that I've used is how exposed you are to JavaScript when you're using it. There's no template DSL (JSX compiles to sensible JavaScript), the component API has only gotten simpler with the addition of React Hooks, and the framework offers you very little abstraction outside the core UI concerns it's intended to solve.Because of this, learning JavaScript features is really advisable for you to be effective building applications with React. So here are a few JavaScript features I'd recommend you spend some time learning so you can be as effective as possible working with React.

Daily Bread (Week 3)
I woke up a little weepy this morning. Change is hard, and knowing that those rocks we are trying to push uphill just want to roll back down over us, makes it all a little harder. Little victories are the clue, placing small wedges under the rocks, keeping a steady pace, and taking the time to rest. Good shoes for the journey can help too. Traveling companions make the journey less lonely, and a friend can help you with your shoe laces.
Speaking of laces, we had another good group meeting last night, and the connections are deepening as the sharing becomes more personal. We went around the room talking about our successes this last week and why we are doing this. I was moved by many of the stories. They resonated with many of my own struggles. Personal stories always do that. Empathy shimmers around a room and we are moved to laughter or tears. The stories are all different as each individual is unique, but in broad strokes the pictures being painted are all the same. This is even truer when a group has gathered around a common issue.
When it was my turn, I had a moment of befuddlement. I had already shared in my head and also right here in my earlier post. Writing is like that sometimes. The words flow out and then they are gone into a deeper part of my being.
We also talked about goals, and the need to be specific about changing behaviors in order to reach a goal. Deciding to "lose weight" doesn't work as well as deciding to exercise "x" hours per week, or deciding how many calories to have tomorrow. The calorie decisions are being made for me in this program, as long as I follow it. The other stuff is up to me, as always and of course, with more than a little help from my friends.
The idea reminded me of the churches who say they want to "grow," but are unwilling to change in order to meet that goal. Change is hard, no matter the issue. We need to acknowledge what we will lose as well as what we will gain. Churches may need to give up some familiar practices (music, liturgy, gossip, and exclusive habits of all sorts) in order to welcome the seekers who will help reenergize them in fulfilling their mission. I am giving up the pleasure I have found in eating (and over-eating) delicious high calorie foods in order to live longer and better. L'Chaim!
(My stats for last week: down 2.8 pounds, drank 7 gallons of water, and exercised for 375 minutes – mainly swimming)

Looking For The Perfect Wedding Band? Here's An Out-Of-This-World Suggestion
Weddings are beautiful. I believe you all agree with me on this. It doesn't matter if you're the marrying kind or the type who likes it solo, weddings are always filled with so much heart that it makes you tear up a little bit inside.
But before the wedding comes immense preparation. If you've only been a guest to weddings and have never been wedded yourself, then you can't even begin to imagine how much work is put into this once-in-a-lifetime event. Behind all that makeup of the bride and groom are dark and droopy eyes, exhausted from all the planning, rehearsing, and setting up. A lot of work is invested into this one-day occasion. We're talking time, money, effort, energy, and a whole bunch of other things. It is only after the event, when everything goes smoothly, that they can finally sigh of relief. Now that I think about it, this is probably why couples typically schedule their honeymoon a week after the wedding. I mean, after all the hustle and bustle, the pair certainly don't have enough energy and spirit left within them to get all hot and steamy. I'll bet you five bucks they race to see who falls asleep faster after the event finally wraps up. What comes after is a snoozing fest – definitely.
Anyway, I've been blabbing on and on about how much work is involved in planning weddings but I never really mentioned anything specific. But since our company isn't exactly about wedding planning, I don't think I have the authority or the experience to teach you how to plan your big day. What our company is well-versed about, however, is jewelry. And you do know that there's a very important type of jewelry present in every matrimonial ceremony right?
Yes. If it isn't obvious enough, I'm talking about the wedding ring.
Wedding rings are a symbol of union. Just like how a ring is in a form of a circle, it signifies that your love as a couple will never end. This is why some couples are often adamant about wedding rings being seamless. After all, they want the symbol of their love to have no visible "ends" or seams. It must be continuous – infinitely going around and around.
If you look around jewelry stores and crafters, you will see many dazzling pieces that may very well fit the type of wedding band you have in mind. If I had to guess, you are probably thinking of buying something that has these three qualities:
- It Has To Be Durable – You are tying the knot with one goal in mind right? And that goal is to make your union last forever (or specifically, one lifetime). With that being said, you'll need a wedding band that can withstand the trials of time; you need something that is durable enough to stick with you until the very end. Without thinking too much, bands made of precious metals like gold will come to mind first. Gold, after all, has long been advertised as the perfect metal for wedding bands. It has a nice lustre and it's also very durable. It doesn't rust or fade even if you use it everyday. It's literally everything you want in a wedding ring – or not.
- It Has To Be Exquisite – Now, I know some of you will beg to differ, saying things like "it doesn't matter if it's simple" or "we don't mind getting something cheap and ordinary." In reality, a third of couples would really want to choose wedding bands that are valuable as much as they are meaningful of they have the chance. It kind of adds to the symbolism like "This person is so important to me so it should be that we keep something very important to remind us of each other as well." Make sense? I mean, it may not be for everyone. I'm just saying that if a couple had the luxury of choice, they'd really go for something exquisite.
- It Has To Be Unique – Of course, last but not least, you and your partner would want to be different from every other couple out there. You would want to stand out by picking out a pair of wedding bands that are unlike any other. This way, people can tell that you're really exclusive to each other and that your relationship has personality. Normal rings can do the trick but it always feels a little more special to wear something custom-made. If couples can help it, they would want a pair that specifically speaks of their relationship – not some random and generic ring.
The first two criteria are easy to follow. You can find a really durable and exquisite ring anywhere as long as you're willing to pay the price. The third factor, on the other hand, is a bit trickier to meet. I mean, what does it mean to be unique anyway? If you're going to choose gold rings for the ceremony, then isn't that kind generic. You can probably find a million couples in the United States wearing a pair of gold bands.
So if you really want a pair that is durable, exquisite, and unique, then we have an out-of-this-world suggestion for you – literally.
Why not consider meteorite rings?
Yes, our company offers exotic inlay rings made from 100% real meteorite. It even comes with a certificate of authenticity! Don't you think it would be awesome to have a piece of the heavens symbolize your undying love for your partner? It would definitely tell people that you're a "match made in heaven." Meteorite rings are durable, exquisite, and unique. It's literally everything you want in a ring! It's also very valuable. Believe it or not, it's priced higher than gold in markets nowadays – most likely because of its rarity. If you still want your wedding band to be gold, there are meteorite inlays for gold rings as well. It's superb, right?
Anyway, feel free to check out our wide selection today. Who knows? Maybe you'll find the perfect wedding band to use for your union in the next few minutes!

Maria is a teacher from Canada who has been heading Nursery class at OC for the last three years. She has always been very creative and this year she's delighted to widen our children's experience by opening up their potential in Art.
It's well known that fostering creativity won't just increase your child's chances of becoming the next Picasso, but it also enriches mental, social and emotional development.
As kids manipulate a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. By counting pieces and colors, they learn the basics of math. When children experiment with materials, they dabble in science.
Most important perhaps, is when children feel good while they are creating. Art helps boost self-confidence. Children who feel able to experiment freely and are not worried about making mistakes invent new ways of thinking, which extends well beyond the craft room.

Review On Lady GaGa's "Alejandro"
Lady GaGa's new single has given a touch of retro to contemporary electronic music, bringing elements similar to those we heard in the 70's, but still be a masterpiece of music these days, is that GaGa on this song shows us a side more melancholic, not only the lyrics but also with the voice, which is more vulnerable than in the previous two singles "Bad Romance" and "Telephone", and thus being the most mature song to be released from the start of her career . The synthesizers mixed with the melody of the violin created an original sound, which is probably the most attracting in music right now, and knowing critics have gone from best to worst, on occasions being compared with that hit of ABBA "Fernando", we still can say that this song is also for the rest of musical history, the chorus, which is comprised of the names of Alejandro, Fernando, and Roberto gets to record with catchy choruses that GaGa mantains from the start, and if it weren't for the way she plays the song at the Monster Ball Tour, we might call it an elegant piece, sophisticated.

Facebook (along with Instagram, Twitter, texting, and the like) get a lot of criticism. Ironically, it seems that at least half of the people criticizing these methods of communication use them to some degree (and the ones who refuse often end up peeking on somebody else's anyway!) We all kind of love and kind of hate these millennial methods of communication. They are so much a part of our lives but we often wonder what kind of freedom we might feel without it and what our relationships (and self esteem) might be like. So we complain about it, we sign out, say our goodbyes, and then end up back in a few months or weeks or days or even hours. What's the deal?
There is nothing inherently wrong with Facebook, texting, etc. In fact, they are good things. Like the newspaper, the telegram, the telephone- they are further developments in the more efficient spreading of information, ideas, encouragement, joy, and countless other positive things (and inevitably, negative things too, but this holds true for the newspaper, telephone, etc. anyway.) We have the ability to choose how to use these methods of communication. We have the choice of how much to share, what to expose, how much communication is done through them, and how much of our relational time is spent in person. We can use Facebook for good or for bad. And if Facebook is ruining anything, it's really not ruining anything- we are the ones ruining whatever is being ruined and we are using Facebook to do it.
And yet, why does it feel like it's Facebook's fault? Why does it seem that the problems we attribute to Facebook are new and epidemic and directly correlated with the social media boom? Where would they come from if not from social media itself?
I suggest that the problems have been around forever. They're a part of human nature. And anytime humanity develops further- becomes more efficient, more wealthy, more talented, more connected, more intellectual- the problems become more pronounced because there are more and new opportunities for them. Just as though when a child grows up he has more opportunity to learn and do good things, he also has more opportunity to get into trouble. This is precisely why we have such nostalgia for the "good old days." Things were safer. But we were also more limited in our ability to do great and wonderful things. Progress demands moving beyond what feels safe. And progress is necessary to personal and communal human fulfillment.
And so we are stuck with the inevitability of further communication growth. It's not going to stop with Facebook. So how do we stop ourselves from misusing it all? How do we protect our humanity from being trampled and deadened by the race of progress?
I believe that we have to go back, far back. Yes, we have to go back to the "good old days"- but not in terms of technology. We have to go back to the concept of self-discipline. We have to go back to the concept of personal virtue. The reason we feel so trampled upon by the new modes of communication is because simultaneous with their advent has been the decline in the pursuit of personal virtue. We culturally don't believe or teach that courage, humility, love, graciousness, self-control, patience, or especially joy and happiness, are things that can be actually chosen for oneself and truly practiced and accomplished. We put in their place a "follow-your-heart" i.e. follow-your-impulse mentality. And with this mentality, we let all the elements of progress overtake and control us as we fall to our every emotional or psychological whim. Progress gives way to more opportunity for character weakness. When we have nothing keeping our character in check, progress will destroy us.
And yet, it doesn't have to be like this. We don't have to be controlled. We are able to control ourselves. And this is what we must do with Facebook. There are three main weaknesses that Facebook plays off of: vanity, voyerism, and a short-attention span. If we want to avoid being overcome by these weaknesses we have to be proactive. In the following posts I want to address concrete ways to be proactive in fighting each of these weaknesses– concrete ways to stay connected through social media and the other communication advances without letting them get in the way of your life.


text: Neck Neck and shoulder tension Posted 15th October 201815th October 2018 PaulCutland I had significant neck and shoulder tension. Having tried various types of massage nothing would relieve it. It even got to the point where I could not move my neck and was in considerable pain whether trying to sleep or even move. After the first session of massage and cupping they were better than they had been for ages! After the second session my neck and shoulders were completely pain free. She also dramatically improved my posture. Also I had not realised that my legs were swollen and retaining fluid – I just thought my legs were that shape! After a couple of sessions my legs were completely transformed, slimmer and actually shapely! I had generally avoided wearing short dresses and now I wear dresses daily and feel far more confident with how I look. Even now it's as though they are someone else's legs! I visit weekly as an investment in my health. If I have any twinges, sprains, etc from exercise or general daily grind they are dealt with. Other advantages are improved sleep, digestion and lymphatic drainage. I would recommend anyone giving traditional Chinese medicine a try! You will wonder why you have not tried it sooner! Dr Yu is extremely experienced in various forms of traditional Chinese medicine. She is incredibly knowledgeable and I have absolute and complete confidence and trust in her. She simply wants to help people and is purely motivated to just make them better. We are so lucky to have her in Birmingham and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Job openings were little changed at 5.88 million on the last business day of November and remain near record highs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over the month, hires were also little changed at 5.49 million, while separations remained at 5.20 million. This translates to a hiring rate of 3.7% and a separation rate of 3.5%. This is indisputable evidence that the job market is strong indeed.
The job openings and labor turnover survey serves as a demand-side indicator of labor shortages at the national level. Data on job openings, hires, quits, layoffs and discharges, and other separations are based on a sample of approximately 16,400 establishments and cover all nonfarm establishments in the private sector as well as federal, state, and local governments in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Levels and rates are calculated for each category. The rate is the level as a percent of total employment. For job openings, the rate is computed as the number of openings as a percent of employment plus openings. The data are useful in determining what is behind the net numbers released in the monthly report.
Over the 12 months ending in November, hires totaled 64.6M and separations totaled 62.4M yielding a net employment gain of 2.1M. These totals include workers who may have been hired and separated more than once during the year.
Businesses have plenty of job openings to fill. The number of openings has been steadily falling from 6.14M in July to 6.09 in August, 6.18M in September, 5.93M in October and 5.88M in November.
In Construction, the current number of openings is 210,000, down from 237,000 in July but up from a low of 179,000 in September. Manufacturing job openings totaled 378,000 in November down from a recent high of 435,000 in both August and September. The "Durable Goods" category had 231,000 openings at the end of November, while "non-Durable Goods" had 147,000 openings.
Fields with the largest job openings include: Education and Health services with 1.10M, Professional and business services with 1.08M, Trade, warehousing and utilities with1.03M, and Retail trade with 0.71M. Table A breaks down the complete seasonally adjusted job openings, hires and total separations by industry.
The labor market fundamentals remain remarkably healthy well into the eighth year of steady expansion. The strength of the labor market is also apparent in the quit rate of 2.2%, which matches its cyclical high. Thus, workers perceive that jobs are plentiful and are more at ease to switch jobs. However, up until this point, there is still sufficient slack to keep wage pressures at bay. The low inflation level is helping the situation. Wage pressure is expected to build in 2018.
At Gerdau, we keep a keen eye on the employment numbers because we have demonstrated that there is an excellent correlation between employment levels and steel consumption. High job creation and low unemployment translate to strong steel demand and vice versa.

Old Penang Guesthouse
28 July 2009
The guesthouse where we stayed for a good 2 nights during our recent trip to Penang was one of the best that I have ever tried. It was clean, comfortable and very homey, reminded me so much of my mom's ancestral house back home in the Philippines.
Old Penang Guesthouse is a beautifully restored shophouse located in Love Lane, one of the backpacker areas in Georgetown, Penang. The location is very accessible and easily within walking distance to the various sights in town.
Despite being recently renovated (it was done 8 months ago according to one of the staffs), the building still retained its old world charm. This was evident in the original mosaic-tiled flooring, intricate artworks, an airy inner courtyard, the wooden floor in the 2nd storey, and the wooden shuttered windows. Practically, every aspect of the guesthouse reflects some history of the region.
Beside the inner courtyard, there is also this lounge where the guest can just sit down comfortably and read a book or watch TV.
They have lots of books as well; particularly travel guides to help you plan on your itinerary in Penang or your next destination. They also offer tour, visa and transportation assistance to their guest; all this they do at a very competitive price.
The rooms are all air-conditioned and are clean in every aspect of the word. The beds were comfortable although the pillow could have been a bit thicker though. We were lucky enough to get the room with a private bathroom but the common toilet and shower was not so bad as well as it is regularly cleaned by the guesthouse staff.
The staffs, headed by Paul, were very helpful and very hospitable. A plus factor was that they were very knowledgeable about Penang in general. Ask them for directions, they would answer instantly – same goes if you ask them for food recommendation, they would tell you the place to eat as well as the direction going there.
Lastly, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I paid 70 MYR/night, which got me a private air-conditioned room with an attached toilet. This came with free use of their towels (very important for me as I hate bringing my own towel during trips), breakfast (consisting of toasts and jam), free flowing coffee and WiFi access (not too reliable though). This was good for 2 persons already. A very good value for money, I can definitely say.

Hi Marvs!
Penang seems lovely, I hope I can visit it someday, I'm glad that Malaysia is now very accessible to Manila (Clark, that is), thanks to LCCs. Good to see you blogging about your travels.

"Burnished Blue" Clock
Type : SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg
Description :
The clock's display is low and wide. The clock has a small amount of padding at the edges. There is a comfortable amount of space between the digits of the clock's display. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is very opaque. The color of the edge glow is close to slate blue, with a hint of dark orchid and slate grey. It is fat and extends close to the center, leaving just a window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to cadet blue, with a hint of light slate grey and steel blue. The color at the top right corner is close to light slate grey, with a hint of grey and slate grey. The color at the bottom left corner is close to maroon, with a hint of dark red and saddle brown. The color at the bottom right corner is close to medium turquoise, with a hint of turquoise and light sea green. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are quite transparent, so one can still see fairly clearly what is beneath them. Their color is close to dark slate grey, with a hint of forest green and dark green. There is no gap between the digit segments. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The shadow has no offset. The shadow is quite blurred, and its outline is not so clear. The shadow has a fair amount of spread, adding strength. The color of the shadow is close to dark slate blue, with a hint of midnight blue and indigo. The shadow is completely opaque, and should feel very strong.
The SevenSegmentWithColorGridBg clock combines a traditional seven segment display for the digits, a four corner color smooth gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, segment gap, and a drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.

General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that dirty Dr. Bensch (James DePaiva) is collecting ammo to use against Kiki (Hayley Erin). If she comes forward with accusations, Dr. Bensch will be ready to discredit her. He's also giving off major stalker vibes. Dr. Bensch claims he didn't arrange for Kiki to shadow him, but we all know that's a lie. He's hiding behind this shadow program to keep Kiki close.
Each phase lasts four weeks, which gives Dr. Bensch plenty of time with Kiki. Not only does he show signs of stalking, he's also an abusive control freak. Dr. Bensch was quick to sing Kiki's praises when he thought sex was on the table. Now that Kiki has rejected him, he's chewing her out every chance he gets and jerking her around emotionally.
This is clearly taking a toll on Kiki, but it seems she'll press on for now. She doesn't feel like she has a choice. Kiki should've turned Dr. Bensch in right away for sexual harassment, but she probably feared that no one would believe her. She also knows Dr. Bensch may have the power to ruin her career.
When it comes to sexually harassing young women at work, this probably isn't Dr. Bensch's first rodeo. He may have passed his background checks at GH, but that doesn't mean he's innocent. A private investigator could probably turn up buried secrets. If Dr. Bensch was rejected by other med students, he may have intimidated them into staying quiet like Kiki.
Discrediting sexual harassment victims is unfair, but it's a common practice to win a case. The lawyers who employ this tactic are clearly bullies like Dr. Bensch. The creepy doc may hire one and hand over his bogus evidence. General Hospital fans will recall that Dr. Bensch kept Kiki's voicemail. He had a determined look in his eye as he saved the crucial message.
Dr. Bensch also smirked while watching Griffin (Matt Cohen) hug Kiki. They're close friends, so it's perfectly normal for them to embrace. Nevertheless, Dr. Bensch could easily snap a pic the next time Griffin's comforting her. He could use that to suggest Kiki's been making her moves with docs all over GH.
Dr. Bensch is lucky that only Griffin's involved at this point. If Mama Bear Ava (Maura West) or surrogate father Franco (Roger Howarth) are brought in the loop, Dr. Bensch had better watch out! He'll inevitably pay the price for his actions one way or another.
General Hospital spoilers say more drama's ahead, so Kiki will have to stay strong and fight back. We'll give you updates as other GH news comes in. Stick with the ABC soap and don't forget to check CDL often for the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates and news.

STAFF at Oxford Children's Hospital helped to give 11-year-old Lucas Cox back his heartbeat and now his dad David is doing the OX5 Run to thank them.
At just nine days old Lucas was rushed into hospital and was found to have a deformed valve in his heart.
His parents, who had already visited the doctors with the youngster, were told if it had been 24 hours later Lucas may not have survived.
The family remember being rushed to the John Radcliffe Hospital and arriving at 1am fearing for their son's life.
But thanks to the care and support of staff they immediately felt at ease and were given accommodation at the hospital that night to stay near their son.
Mr Cox said: "We were living at the time in Reading and I was working in Bicester. I would spend most my time with Lucas but there comes a time where the bills still need paying.
"My wife Sam could stay as she was on maternity leave, but I would spend time with Lucas in the morning, before heading off to work, come back and see him again.
"It just gave us that base to work from as a home from home. I remember one time when he was in the intensive care unit we were called at 1.30am to come and say goodbye to him.
"He was fine as soon as we got downstairs, just keeping us on our toes, but had we been in Reading that would have been much more stressful.
"It means everything to just be there with them. The staff also become almost like another family."
Lucas spent the first few months of his life in intensive care at the John Radcliffe before being cared for in the Oxford Children's Hospital.
At aged three he had a pacemaker fitted and has since been back and forth since for check-ups, as well as treatment for his asthma.
His is now fighting fit and has just started secondary school and is ready to cheer his dad on at the next Oxford Mail OX5 Run on Sunday, March 24.
It will be the fourth year the family, from Didcot, have been involved in the event and the fourth year Mr Cox is running.
He said: "It is a lovely looking course, although deceiving when you get to those hills, but everyone is so friendly and picks each other up.
"It is no more than an hour and a half on a Sunday morning at a beautiful venue and all to raise money for the Oxford Children's Hospital Charity which does such wonderful things. It is not until you need them that you realise how lucky we are to have them."

The parish of Burghfield was keeping track of local men serving in the war.
The Roll of Honour
A list kept by the Rector, of those Burghfield men who since the beginning of the war have laid down their lives for their country and the just cause of the Allies, hangs near the reading-desk in the Church.
The full Roll, including those who have offered and been accepted for immediate or deferred service, is kept up to date by Mr. Willink so far as possible, and hangs in the Church Porch. The introduction of compulsory service has rather changed the situation: but he will be glad to receive names of men not already on the Roll but actually serving, together with the exact title of their ship or unit, also notice of any honours or promotions, wounds or deaths.
The list of wounded is growing long. Happily most cases are light. But it should be known by everybody that any disabled man is entitled to free training, if necessary or possible in some trade, and to be helped in finding employment. Information can be obtained at any Post Office. In cases of delay or difficulty in this matter, or in regard to Pensions or Allowances, applications should be made to the Berkshire War Pensions Committee through Mr. or Mrs Willink, who are on the Reading Rural Sub Committee.
Colonel Sir Wyndham Murray, of Culverlands, formerly C.B whose distinguished services in past times are well known, has been made K.C.B. He has acted as King's Messenger during the War, and has repeatedly visited the front. He and Lady Murray have also received certain Japanese decorations.
Captain G. O. W. Willink was mentioned in Despatches in May, and has just been awarded the Military Cross for distinguished conduct in August. He has commanded "A" Coy in the 2/4 R. Berks Regt. Since he went out in July 1916, and has seen service in many parts of the line in France and Flanders.

East County Business Focus
Jarvez Hall grows prospects in culturally diverse region
Beverly Corbell | 10/2/2018, 2:41 p.m.
East Multnomah County is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the state, and also one of the poorest.
According to a recent report by WorkSource Portland Metro, full-time workers living in East Multnomah County earn 68 percent less than those to the west of 82nd Avenue and have the highest concentration of poverty in the entire state. Child poverty in East Portland and Gresham is 26 percent, while the rate is only 4 percent for neighborhoods on the west side of the Willamette River.
That reality has been the impetus behind push by the nonprofit East Metro Economic Alliance (EMEA) to transform the east county area by coordinating economic development with East Portland as well as the four cities that comprise the eastern end of the county – Gresham, Wood Village, Fairview and Troutdale.
Jarvez Hall, executive director of the alliance, said there are already dramatic job and business developments that promise progress, including the Port of Portland's Gresham Vista Business Park, as well as Rockwood Rising, a large mixed-use development by the city of Gresham at a former Fred Meyer site. He said area governments, nonprofits and business entities have worked to advance the area economically.
"A lot of people don't think that we make stuff, but actually in the east metro area, manufacturing is the single largest industry," he said. "We have some large manufacturers there, like Microchip, and we have a lot of fab and prefab manufacturing. The Subaru plant, a distribution center for parts, just came on line and De Beers (Group) is actually going to manufacture (synthetic) diamonds out in Gresham. They just had a groundbreaking at the Vista Park."
But coordinating future efforts between the many economic development entities in the region can have an even greater effect, says Hall, and could potentially have even more impact.
To that end, in the fall of 2017, Hall approached Dr. Sheila Martin of Portland State University's Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies, and Steven Ames, principle at NXT Consulting Group, to research, design and lead efforts with East County business and community leaders to look in-depth at the future of the area's economic prospects.
The end result — which is really a beginning — was the first East Metro Economic Prosperity Forum held in May where an 18-page report was presented on the research by Martin and Ames, which was conducted with the help of graduate students.
The report "spoke to the needs of the area," Hall said, and included demographics, housing, entrepreneurship and industry, work force education, transportation and land use.
According to the report, the four cities in East County are expected to grow by 19,000 new residents with an additional 28,000 new jobs by 2040. The forum is an effort to develop a strategic framework for economic development in the area, and the report states that its purpose is to promote a "collaborative, proactive approach in shaping the area's long-term economic future."
U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Portland, opened the forum, and speakers included Hall, as well as presentations by Ames and Martin on the results of their research. Forum participants then attended breakout sessions on the forum's four focus areas. The sessions were rounded out with participants answering questions about the four areas from their perspective. Later in the forum, participants identified their top priorities for each focus area.

In the summer, guests sometimes struggle to find a nicer home, like ours, that also provides a pool. Because of the climate and short summer season, pools are not very common at private, smaller, upscale complexes or homes.
But the good news is that if you want more than the hot tubs provided with our rentals, there are plenty of places in and around Mammoth Lakes to dip your toes in water -- and even put your booty in the sand.
Hot Creek Fall Fishing
The fishing wasn't great, but the views were fine.
I know, I know. You've finally exited the 395 and the last thing you want to do before you start your vacation is to stop the car and have to collect the kids, the dogs, and the
Looking to kick up some western dust and imagine life as a gold-seeking desperado? Take a drive to Bodie Ghost Town and let this relic, suspended in a state of decayed antiquity, transport you to the 19th century wild west.
Looking for somewhere to cool off? This ain't it. Looking to immerse yourself in majestic mountain views? Soak up natural healing waters? Paint yourself in mineral rich mud? Then throw on your suit and head to the natural hot springs off of Bentron Crossing.
Fishin' Big Pine
So, Big Pine is a small town with some Big Problems. I've shared that in an article on our companion blog, Glam on the Lam. You can (and if you plan to spend much time in Big Pine you should) read that here.
But there's some good, easily accessible, high-yield fishing if you know where to go.
Afternoon Hike to Arrowhead Lake
So, I can't say this hike is necessarily easy. In fact, it isn't. But at least it is short-- and it is totally, completely worthwhile. In fact, it may be the best pain to pleasure ratio in all the hikes we've done.
Adventure Center Upgrades for kids
Families who are Mammoth regulars know how that the Adventure Center is a mecca of fun activities for kids with its rock wall, bungee tramp and pint-sized zipline.
Not only that, but its the portal to the Gondola Scenic tours, and vast hiking areas of the San Joaquin river areas, Devil's Postpile and Red's Meadow. Starting this summer, there are lots of new reasons to haul the littles up to the Center for easy-to-access activities.
Mammoth Mega Zip opening Sept 2018
Ok, call me a tacky tourist, Ugly American, whatever. But its safe to say that my kids are counting the days until the uber-tacky Mammoth Mega Zip zipline opens.
And its not just my kids. I CAN NOT WAIT to try this myself with The Husband riding right next to me.

The University of Kentucky participated in the 2009 College in Second Life this past weekend. This was the second college fair held on the main grid of Second Life and the second time UK has participated. As with last year, the fair included a speaker series and an exhibit area where college and university representatives could create information booths. The speaker events were held this weekend only, but the exhibit booths will be available at the fair site through Nov. 13. The fair was held on International Schools Island, SLURL: http://bit.ly/SLCF09welcome.
The speakers this year were really excellent. We hope to have a page up in the fair Google Group soon with resources associated with several of the presentations (notes, links, slides, if available).
A list of the participating schools is availble on the main fair information page, and a map of the fair site shows where each school exhibit is located. We had more space and "prims" (Second Life building blocks) available to use this year, so the booths were particularly creative. I'd encourage everyone to visit the site while it is available. If you want to talk with any of the exhibitors, right-click on any object to find the name of the avatar owner.
I created the UK booth in something of an Alice-in-Wonderland theme – the site included a mini replica of the virtual William T. Young Library we have on our island, with small furniture and information objects inside. The whole building is "phantom" (your avatar can walk right through it), so don't worry if it looks like you won't be able to fit through the door.
Many of the exhibits include free educational tools and landmarks and almost all include information about what their college or university is doing in Second Life. They are also creative and fun examples of conveying information in Second Life.The fair tag is SLCF09, so search for that tag to find information posted by other fair attendees. (e.g., see this collection of Flickr images using the fair tag)
Although the speaker series is over, the exhibits are well worth exploring! If you have questions please contact email@example.com.

The right to join a trade union and the right to collective bargaining are basic, human rights recognised by the UN International Labour Organisation. Yet many well-known multi-national companies do not recognise trade unions, and do not negotiate with trade unions on pay and working conditions.
International and European Trade Unions are joining forces for Human Rights Day (December 10) to name and shame multinational brands and household names that refuse to negotiate with trade unions.
This electronics company has a no-union policy in its factories and workplaces, and intervenes to prevent the formation of unions at its suppliers. Samsung accumulates billions in profits at the expense of its workers. It has a well‐documented history of labour abuses in its supply chain – from union busting, poverty wages, insecure and unsafe work, to forced overtime, informal work and modern slavery. Workers are working in such appalling circumstances that in some countries the company has had to remodel its dormitories to prevent employees from committing suicide. It is time for Samsung to guarantee a fair living wage and trade union participation and representation for its workers.
With the European Commission, International Monetary Fund, and other institutions increasingly recognising the need for wage increases to drive economic growth, and tackle inequality, the right to collective bargain is vital not only for working people, but for the economy and social justice.
Samsung likes to promote itself as a modern, family-friendly brand, but their attitude to trade unions is strictly 19th century. There should be no place in a modern economy for companies that do not negotiate with trade unions. Collective bargaining between employers and trade unions is the best way to get sensible pay rises that benefit workers, company productivity and the economy as a whole.

During law school, Vanessa was an Editor for the Cornell International Law Journal, and a Teaching Assistant for Terrorism and the Law. She also served as a Legal Intern in the City Attorney's Office in Ithaca, New York during the Summer of 2004. In 2011, Vanessa received an Advanced Professional Certificate from New York University School of Law.
Following law school, Vanessa practiced in New York for several years, at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, LLP, and then Moses & Singer, LLP. In 2012, she returned to her home town of Wichita, Kansas, where she was an associate attorney in the estate planning and probate practice group at Hinkle Law Firm, LLC, before joining InterActive Legal.
