Junior Achievement needs volunteers on an ongoing basis in a variety of capacities.
School children ages preschool through high school need people from the business community to lead them in age-appropriate curriculum; either in several visits, or in several sessions in one day.
In addition, Fifth grade students need helpers at JA BizTown, a town simulation at 7435 N. Keystone where they work as employees in various businesses, they are "paid" for their labor, and they manage personal checking accounts.Throughout the day, students learn about time and money management skills as they work, bank, and shop as consumers.
Through these JA programs, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and the importance of post-secondary education, leading to greater success in life. Volunteer training is ongoing.
About Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement's (JA) mission is to educate young people in the areas of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness, and to inspire them to explore and create opportunities, make good decisions, and believe in their potential. Our desired community impact is to prepare young people to succeed in a competitive global economy.
JA programs are proven to be effective, with the outcomes being: 1) students gain a better understanding of how the real world works; 2) students gain a greater appreciation for the importance and value of education to a successful future; and 3) students gain confidence in their ability to graduate from high school and pursue post-secondary education.
It is our belief that students prepared with this knowledge will soon contribute to the quality of our overall community.

I am getting ready to teach the final lesson on Jude. It has been an amazing and eye opening study. I have enjoyed the past 4 weeks and know that this week will also be a good one. I am praying for all of the students who took this class, that the Word would penetrate their hearts and motivate them to make disciples of the people whom God has placed in their lives.
Here are some of the previous lessons.
- Contend earnestly for the faith
- Contend earnestly for the faith part 2
- Evidence of genuine salvation
- An ungodly person does not submit authority
How do we patiently and eagerly await the coming of the Lord? What does that look like? What specific things do I need to do? What do I need to avoid? Let's turn to the Word of God, written to us by Jude.
I. My part
In Jude 17-25, there are 7 things that God tells us to do, through Jude.
- Build yourself up in faith – Like building endurance, or building muscle, there are certain things that must be done in order for this to happen. First, you must be in the Word of God. You must be challenged by others to study and obey the Word of God. This is what Jude has in mind when he writes, "remember the Word of God". They had already been taught the Word of God. They need to continue in the Word of God. They need to be reminded of the Word of God, the Word that they had already been taught. In fact, this is the first step in point number 2, building yourself up in faith. The Word teaches us what faith is. It also teaches us how to have faith. This is something that needs to be done corporately. We do need to study the Word individually, but in the Scriptures, we see more corporate Bible study than individual Bible study. In Acts 2, this was what the process of discipleship began and ended with. The rest flowed out of that. The natural outflow of studying the Scriptures is that you pray. When we open the Word, the Lord speaks to us. When we pray, we talk to the Lord. This is the essence of a personal relationship. If these are not daily aspects of of our lives, how can we claim to have a personal relationship with God? Again, the natural result of Bible study and prayer, along with fellowship with others, is obedience to the Lord. Those around you encourage you to obey the Lord and you encourage them as well. Pretty much everything around us encourages us to disobey God and do what we want in order to please our sin nature. If we isolate ourselves from other like minded believers, we will get away from the Word and prayer, which will lead us to sin. As we build ourselves up in faith through corporate Bible study, corporate prayer, and obedience to the Lord's commands, we will form a team, learning how to work together. What do we need to work together doing? We need to work together to make disciples. That is why the next command is . . .
- Have mercy on some – Reach out to them with the love of God. Bring the power of God, which is the Word of God, into their lives. Teach them how to know God through His Word. Teach them how to pray to God based on His Word. Teach them how to obey God and encourage them to be part of the team. This will change their lives, giving them a new purpose. This opens up the door to the next command, save people. I cannot save anyone and you cannot save anyone but what we can do is introduce them to the Gospel, which is the power of God to salvation for those who believe. Now, while in the trenches, we will be surrounded by sin because we will be on enemy ground. The next command is crucial.
- Hate sin – We know what it does to us because we know the Gospel. We know who we are, that we have a sin nature. We also know how easily we are tempted. Therefore, we must hate sin, while at the same time, we love the sinners who need to be rescued as we have been rescued by the power of the Gospel.
II. God's Part
In Jude 17-25, God tells us what He also has His part in this process of helping us eagerly await the coming of the Lord.
- According to verse 24, He keeps us from stumbling, especially as we are being attacked by the ungodly in the church.
- Also in verse 24, He is able to make us stand in the face of this opposition.
- He will make us blameless. This means that He will purify us along the way, removing more and more of our sinful tendencies.
- He will give us His great joy as we contend earnestly for the faith. It will not be easy. It may not even be very pleasant, but, in the midst of the battle, God will give us joy that surpasses all human understanding.
- He will cause us, one day, to stand in His full presence in all of His glory.
God will always do His part. He has done everything to let us know what our part is. If things are not happening as they should, we cannot blame God. He has promised always to do His part. That is why God constantly wants us to examine our hearts and our walk with Him, to see where sin has crept in, to see if we really are building ourselves up in faith. Why is there such a need for me to do my part, both for me and for those who are around me? Let's find out.
III. The need for action
The Word of God is under attack, from outside of the body of Christ and from inside the body of Christ. Verse 18 teaches us the the ungodly, both without and within, are mockers. To mock means to delude others about someone or something. This is done by making fun of that person or that thing. If you watch television shows today (something that I do not recommend doing) you will notice that Dads are portrayed as goofy and not good for much. The Moms seem to run the show because of the goofy Dads. This is a prime example of mocking the family structure that the Lord ordained. His plan is that the man is the head of the household and is the competent spiritual leader. The way the media makes fun of that and portrays this image of the family, casts doubts in the minds of people about the legitimacy of God's plan. This is what Satan did in the Garden when He asked the woman, "did God really say"? The Word of God is mocked all over the place, even in the church. Why do people want to cast doubt on the Word of God and get others to agree with them? They do this because they want to follow after their own lusts and in to calm their conscience, they need others to approve their sinful actions, even though those actions are condemned by God. They want to cause divisions, getting others to join them and fight on their side of the argument. When people doubt the Word of God, they open themselves up to living worldly minded lives. If the Word of God does not fill our minds, the thoughts of our sin nature will fill them and we will act accordingly. The ungodly act the way that they do because they are devoid of the Spirit of the Lord. It is not that they have the Spirit and are choosing not to obey. They do not have the Spirit and they cannot obey the Lord. Instead of facing reality, they try to discredit the source by mocking the Word of God.
Are you building yourself up in faith? How much time do you spend in the Word of God, by yourself and with others? How much time do you spend in prayer? How are you being encouraged by others to obey the Word of God? How are you encouraging others to obey the Word of God? Are you doing your part? Are you working with others as part of a team? Are you seeking to make disciples? May the Lord help us eagerly wait for the coming of the Lord!

When you are planning a catered affair it goes without saying that the food is an important part of the equation. The question is where to begin planning the menu. Oh sure, you could fall back on the same old baked chicken or roast beef, potatoes and a veg but that is so 1980's. How about taking a fresh look at the planning process and create a menu that is completely unique and suited to your party?
Start with the season. The best food choice is to always go with what is in season and while we are at it, available locally. Yes, today you can get just about anything, but the quality and price will be much better if you pick what's in season and locally sourced. Think about how you tend to pick certain foods depending on the season. Salads and chilled foods in the summer and rich soups and stews in the dead of winter. It can be tricky to plan a winter feast in the Dog Days of summer, but your effort will be rewarded on the day of your wedding reception.
Hand in hand with style goes theme. Now not everyone has a clear theme for his or her wedding, but if you do, go with it. If your theme were a night in Paris you wouldn't want to serve anything but French food. Remember that even within a particular cuisine, you have a lot of variation. Sticking with our Paris theme, you could certainly plan your menu with French Haute Cuisine, but you can also dial it back a notch with the warm, rich foods of French Bistro cuisine.
As you plan your menu, think about your guests. Are they a meat and potatoes crowd or are they followers of the latest food trends? True, it is your wedding reception but it is your guests that you are trying to please. Don't just think about the friends that you hang out with on weekends, think about your family. Talk to your caterer and their culinary team about keeping to your theme and still serving food that your whole guest list will enjoy.
Something else you can think about as you plan your menu is the style of service. You have so many choices and you want your menu to be something that can be served the way you picture it. There is of course the plated, seated dinner or a standard buffet, but you may not have considered a menu built around action stations or simply heavy hors d'oeuvres in a combination of passed appetizers and artfully created displays. One of the newest trends coming to the wedding reception is 'family style' where the staff serves the entree and then the guests help themselves to side dishes placed on the table. It is your wedding party and the style of service can go a long way in creating the ambiance you want.
Finally, you have to consider your budget. You may long to serve lobster tails to honor your partner's home of Maine but that may not be in your budget. Be honest with your caterer about what you want and why from the start and you may be head over heels when they suggest Lobster Mac & Cheese as an appetizer. Their job is to find a menu that is in your budget but still echoes your vision. If you really have a tight budget, you may want to consider brunch. Brunch cuisine tends to be less expensive and no one really expects an open bar at noon.
Whatever your vision or your tastes, a good caterer with a creative chef and culinary staff can work miracles when it comes to planning the menu for your wedding reception. Make it unique, follow your vision and let the professionals help. You will be so glad you did!

A web application or a web app is a software that runs on a web browser. In recent years the web has evolved from a relatively static information network to an interactive information exchange space, with dynamic web applications growing in popularity and becoming commonplace in our digital lives.
Have you identified what the best solution/s for your requirement is? Is it a website, web application, native mobile application or a PWA?
The ideal solution for your requirement need not always be a mobile application. Sometimes, it could be a web application or a progressive web application. In some scenarios, the business perhaps requires a very complex application which is best used on a PC or laptop with a bigger screen, using a chiclet keyboard as the input device.
All these can can only be ascertained after carefully evaluating your specific business requirement. If you have a project you would like us to evaluate, contact us.
Our team has been working on projects for some of the renowned names in the IT and advertising industry helping them build cutting edge web applications for their clients. We use the most robust technologies, frameworks and best practices, to build superior web applications that help you achieve your business goals at the maximum ROI.
We apply the essence of simplicity of design and efficiency in creating web applications, but not before taking the pain to really, really understand the user for whom its being designed for, which is crucial in making or breaking the whole enterprise.
Here is just one of our recent projects

Sometimes the best solution for your requirement is a #webapp. Like here, a digital school fee management system. The seamless and easy fee creation #UI and #UX is already making the lives of several school managements, much easier. The application is also helping schools' revenues and cash flow by reducing time to pay and defaults. #webapplication
Project Synopsis
Our client who is in the Ed-Tech space, wanted to add value to their clientele of schools by offering them a simplified but powerful digital fee management system. We studied several school management systems currently used across schools and learnt how complex and difficult to use they were. The UI, UX and functionalities were not all user friendly and a complete contrast to the world class technologies the management were using on their devices for their personal requirements. We decided it is time to build a system as smooth as the popular consumer applications we all are used to and built an application which is a delight to use.
We re-imagined and crafted user flows and features to make the UI a delight and ease to use. By using the latest technologies to harness the power of latest browsers we made the entire fee creation and collection process a breeze and lightning fast.
P.S – The example shows dummy student data from the sandbox environment in order to protect real user data.

The OBDuCAN kit has nothing to do with the mainstream products sold on the internet.
Whereas a ELM chip based interface only allows to access to an eOBD generic interrogation mode on the engine part, OFora, thanks to its tecnical characteristics, also opens the access to manufacturer information and to all the vehicle onboard calculators. This means that the OBDuCAN + OFora duo can diagnose vehicles anterior to the year 2000, vehicles which are incompatible with eOBD/OBD2, VL or PL... that is to say almost 100% of the european car fleet!
As you can read on our website presentation page, the OBDuCAN team developed a software as well as the electronical part of the interface. It means that we know deeply the product and that we will be able to adapt it to tecnological evolutions or to users comments.
This kit was thought and designed during several months to meet the mainstream demand, for private individuals or professionals. This is the reason why we payed particular attenttion to the quality at all levels :

Handmade Sink Manufacturers Share The Benefits Of A Double Sink Sink
The popularity of stainless steel sinks in home decoration is as high as 90%. Even many people think of the kitchen sink, and the subconscious will be equal to the stainless steel sink. The excellence of stainless steel sinks has made it unique to the market, resulting in only about 10% of other non-stainless steel sinks. Today, handmade sink manufacturers talk about how to choose such a popular stainless steel sink.
1. Is the brushed surface still matte?
The surface of stainless steel sinks has different surface treatments because of the need for appearance and practicality. Its price is generally between 500-2000 yuan, usually using 304 steel as raw material, the surface often has several surface treatment processes of mercerizing, drawing, embossing and matt. The more common is the matte finish, which has both gloss and durability. The most famous advantage is oil-proof, but the wear resistance is slightly weaker.
1. Matte surface sink
The drawing process is more delicate and smooth, and the hand feel is very good. The scratch resistance of the brushed surface is significantly improved compared with the previous one.
2. Sink on the brushed surface
The embossed surface is easily topped with stains and wear resistance with the raised lines, but the face value is somewhat difficult to say.
3. embossed surface sink
Therefore, in the selection, the sink of the brushed surface is more recommended. The daily small scratches generally do not leave a very obvious mark. The key is that the value is high and comes with a high-grade color.
Second, stretching the sink and manual sink?
According to the processing method, the stainless steel sink can be divided into two types: ordinary sink and manual sink. The manual sink is better in terms of color value and function.
Ordinary sink
Ordinary water tank is also called stretching water tank. It is a one-piece pressing and drawing of a whole piece of steel plate with a machine. The principle is similar to blowing a balloon. Therefore, the bottom and corners of the water tank will be appropriately thinned, usually made of 0.8mm thick steel. .
The hand-made sink is not really tapped by hand, but by cutting, bending, and laser welding the steel plate. It does not change the thickness of the steel plate at the corners. It is strong and powerful, with a full sense of lines and weight. heavier.
2. Manual sink
The difference between the two can be seen very intuitively. Due to the reasons of the machine and equipment, ordinary water tanks cannot produce corners with nearly right angles. Most of them have round and smooth corners, while manual sinks can be bent into smaller sides. Angle, this corner is called the "R angle."
The small R angle of the manual sink is not only better in terms of color value, but also higher in the utilization of the entire sink space. The price is generally higher than the stretch tank, but the quality is also better, and the conditions allow the selection of a manual sink.
3. Size
In the kitchen decoration, in addition to the special custom-made sinks, the spot products are generally selected. The common double-slot sinks are mostly between 70-80cm x 40-45cm. The single-slot size is not fixed and needs to be selected according to the table size.
Third, the common double tank sink
It should be noted that the width of the countertop is preferably more than 10cm wider than the width of the sink, but the distance from the sink to the countertop should be kept close. If you leave too much, you will unconsciously stretch forward when washing the dishes. The waist is naturally tired.
Fourth, depth
Regarding the depth of the sink, it is not as deep as possible. Generally, the depth of the sink is controlled at around 18-23 cm. The depth of the sink in this range is more ergonomic and at the same time more water efficient. The depth of the sink is less than 18cm and it is easy to splash water. If it is too deep, it will not only cost water but also need to bend over.
1. The sink is too shallow
If the home is already a shallow sink, students who are worried about splashing water every day can also add a bubbler on the faucet to alleviate the water splash. The bubbler will mix air into the water flow, so that the impact of the water flow is reduced. Splashing can also greatly reduce water consumption.
2. Faucet bubbler
There is a small door that selects the depth of the sink for everyone. When you buy the sink and custom cabinets, you can stand up and reach out to the bottom of the sink. Generally, most of the palms can touch the bottom of the tank, which is the most suitable height.

One thing I have learnt is that the success of an individual is down to their dedication and hard work. No one method is going to suit everyone, everybody is different, and everybody responds differently to training, this is the reason why everything needs to be specifically tailored to you. The Verite Fitness Method will give you exactly that.
I started as Fitness Instructor 20 years ago and got my first job in a family run business. There I started as Fitness Instructor within the gym as well as teaching boxing circuits, spinning classes and resistance circuits. After two years and with gaining valuable first-hand experience I decided to move forward in my career. I took a position which offered me a great chance to work in a more intensive personal training role. That position was a two year career on cruise liners. During this time I worked as a personal trainer to the guests and also taught yoga, spinning, aerobics, step and weight based classes. I was able to train a large number of clients in a very short period of time. Being able to monitor all the clients I trained, and to watch how people reacted physically and mentally to the varied programs which I had designed gave me my first insight into the concept which has become the Verite Fitness Method. After returning home for a year and continuing to gain personal training experience in my home town. I took an opportunity to move to London where I worked in a top London Health Club. The diversity of clientele in London was the most valuable part of my experience. The information I had to give and the goals my clients set themselves forced me to learn new concepts in training and I then expanded my studies into nutrition. Since returning to Southport in 2008 I have continued my Personal Training and have a very large clientele base. This is ever growingQUALIFICATIONS

Kudos to the three camera operators we had in Arizona for the past 3 games.
We all know that being on the back end of a dual feed is not ideal. One of the ways that the negativity of being on the back end of a dual feed can be lessened is by the work of the camera crew.
If the camera ops are lazy this makes the dual feed experience even worse.
However, if the camera ops work hard and react to situations, the dual feed can be somewhat rewarding.
This was the case in Arizona.
First of all, we are in our own separate mobile unit. This unit that is quite comfortable to work out of which also greatly improves the dual experience.
Tonight's telecast included some great shots from the camera operators that only occured because these three operators were constantly "working" the whole game.
During play, the camera operators were continually reacting and finding great shots.
Between innings, our three operators were "looking" for shots on the field and in the dugouts. The camera operator in our dugout was constantly telling me on headset about shots in the dugout. If he was blocked, and he was blocked by our manager quite often, he would direct our high third camera operator about shots in the dugout.
Great teamwork!!
I would venture to say that at least 75% of all camera operators are shooting crowd between innings. There is a lot of pressure on the camera operators during play and maybe between innings is a good time to take some of this pressure off. However, some of the best shots occur between innings.
A goal of our telecast is to show the viewers at home something the fans at the ballpark do NOT see.
There is more opportunity to capture this goal between innings than during play.
Therefore, it may be more important that the camera operators are finding shots between innings than during play!
This thought was certainly proven during our telecast tonight.
There was a bench clearing incident tonight. Because of this, there was considerable angst between the teams throughout the game.
Tight shots of players faces on both teams captured the angst. I do not recall more shots of anger than we captured last night.
The score was tied going into the ninth inning and the Cardinals scored 5 runs to put the game away. During the top of the ninth inning, tight shots of Cardinals players faces were shots of true bliss.
Professional athletes of all sports live by an unwritten rule;
"Don't get too high and don't get too low".
Tonight's telecast included shots that captured emotions from both sides of this spectrum.
During play, between innings, on the field, and in the dugout, our camera operators were always working. They were rewarded for their hard work with their wonderful shots.
We had a successful dual feed show tonight.
Thank you camera ops.

Tower Bridge is the most famous bridge in London and one of the most easily recognizable bridges in the whole world. Up until this day, the bridge is mistakenly called by some "London Bridge". The Victorian Gothic style of Tower Bridge is in harmony with another one of the capital's most iconic structures nearby – the Tower of London. Every year, millions of visitors go there to take photos and enjoy the wonders of the Tower Bridge Exhibition.
Built in 1886–1894 due to increased commercial development in the East End of London and thus the necessity of a new river crossing, Tower Bridge is a combination of bascule (drawbridge) and suspension bridge. The decision for it to be a moveable bridge that can be opened to let boat traffic pass was taken due to the proximity of the harbour and its location in the direction of the sea.
Tower Bridge was designed by city architect Horace Jones together with John Wolfe Barry and its construction took 11,000 tons of steel. It is owned and maintained by the City Bridge Trust, together with another four of London's bridges (London Bridge is among them) and connects the London Borough of Tower Hamlets with the London Borough of Southwark over the River Thames.
The famous twin towers of Tower Bridge are tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways. The operating mechanism to open the bridge is hidden at the base of each tower. Before the mechanism became electrified in 1976, steam power was used to pump water into hydraulic accumulators that were used to power the engines.
The bridge has a clearance of almost 45 meters when opened and its lifts are pre-scheduled and posted on its website for visitors to check. It is still a busy crossing of the Thames as according to data over 40,000 people cross it every day but the bascules nowadays are raised only about 1000 times a year as river traffic has reduced significantly over the years (but still has priority over road traffic).
The deck of Tower Bridge can be accessed freely by both vehicles and pedestrians, but the towers, high-level walkways and Victorian engine rooms can only be seen for an admission fee as they form part of the Tower Bridge Exhibition. Inside it, visitors can learn all the details around the creation of one of the world's most popular bridges and the way it works via photos, films, and other media.
They can also enjoy panoramic views from the walkways (which are 45 metres above the Thames) and have their breath taken away as they observe the traffic over the bridge and how it opens and closes to let ships pass below their feet through the 11-meter-long glass floors installed in 2004. Tower Bridge is close by several famous London attractions like Big Ben, London Eye and Tower of London.
In June 2012, a set of Olympic rings was hanged from Tower Bridge to mark the remaining month until the start of the Summer Olympics and after they ended was replaced by the emblem of the Paralympic Games to mark the start of the Summer Paralympics. To add, in July 2012, the west walkway was transformed into a 61-metre-long Live Music Sculpture and 30 classical musicians were arranged along the length of the bridge. This was the works of British composer Samuel Bordoli.

Is the reality star trying to hide something here?
After months of keeping a low profile, Kylie Jenner has emerged back into the public eye in a new photoshoot – and fans think it might FINALLY prove that she's pregnant.
The TV star has joined her sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Kendall Jenner for a revealing Calvin Klein campaign which sees them modelling underwear and clothing.
MORE: Fans have a VERY bizarre theory about Kylie Jenner's 'pregnancy' after birth of Kim Kardashian's baby
However, Kylie appears to be covering up a little more than her siblings in the pictures and observers think it could be a sign that she's hiding something…
In one picture the 20-year-old has a blanket wrapped around her middle whilst her sisters bare plenty of flesh in CK undies as they all lay on the throw together.
And in another shot Kylie again cuddles up in the prop and wears a baggy denim shirt, despite Kim, Kendall and Khloe all wearing much more revealing outfits.
Other photos show the reality star – who has been at the centre of rumours that she could be expecting her first child since September – holding the blanket against her stomach whilst standing up.
This has all led fans to speculate that the photoshoot strongly suggests that Kylie IS pregnant.
'Kylie's the only one not showing her stomach ? she's definitely pregnant,' one Instagram user commented, whilst another wrote: 'Kylie is definitely pregnant because she NEVER covers her stomach'
And one agreed: 'You can so tell that Kylie Jenner is pregnant, all those new Calvin Klein photos just confirm it'
Meanwhile others are getting annoyed about being kept in suspense.
'The fact that Kylie Jenner is hiding her stomach in all the Calvin Klein ads is so stupid,' one Twitter user posted. 'she's irritating me now.. like just inform us & stop playing games'
However, others have pointed out that the photoshoot is likely to have taken place quite a while ago, given that Khloe – who confirmed her pregnancy last month – doesn't appear to have a bump and Kim has since changed her hair.
'y'all these pics r old af!! a. kim still has BLACK hair here (she has silver now) b. khloe doesn't have a baby bump, even tho she is confirmed pregnant,' one fan wrote.
So with STILL no word from Kylie, the baby mystery looks set to continue…
The post Kylie Jenner FINALLY returns to the spotlight in new photoshoot – and fans think it PROVES that she's pregnant appeared first on CelebsNow.

Wedding Songs for the Wedding That's Not Happening
Every once in a while the BF and I discuss the M word. That's marriage, for those of you who can't or don't want to bother reading my mind. I'll be honest, we probably won't get to it any time soon. We've already been together for a billion years and have no plans of making babies. My mom is not the marrying kind, she discovered after about three marriages (I love that lady but she can be a slow learner in some areas) so she is not pressuring us in any way. The BF's mom is super Catholic so she would really like to see us get hitched but she is too polite to really hammer us with her wishes. She is more the type to drop little hints and almost subtle comments.
Even though we have no immediate marriage plans, we do think we will maybe get to it some day. We've even gone so far as to discuss the type of wedding we want, assuming we don't get blind drunk in Vegas and wake up as Mr. and Mrs (the most likely scenario, by far). We've discussed the winery setting, the brewery setting, the swanky yet laid back bar scene setting…I think you can see a theme appearing…
One thing is for certain, the party will be late in the evening and there will be no sit down dinner. This is not to save money but rather to discourage people from bringing the kiddies and to leave much more room for dancing and mingling. The drinking will start an hour before the wedding, so that my family will be too buzzed to make snide comments about my dress, hair and jewellery choices (the favourite activity at weddings in my family seems to be dissing the couple who just spent $30,000 on a celebration that includes free food and unlimited alcohol). The ceremony will be short and un-boring as possible. I am not sure if we will have speeches or whatever but what I have done is tentatively picked out some song selections to get the party hopping as fast as possible. So, without further ado, here are the choices thus far. Once you've checked them out I of course want your opinions as to what we should add or alter.
FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE (and yes, we will be busting the actual Pulp Fiction moves)
THIRD DANCE (everyone on the floor, bitches!)
FOURTH SONG (stay on the floor!)
Either –
After that, I will leave the song choices to the D.J., although I will have some suggestions for him, such as…
|Little Green Bag
|Pulp Fiction
|Ice Ice Baby
|Vanilla Ice
|Deeply Dippy
|Right Said Fred
|Can't Touch This
|The Night Patty Murphy Died
|Great Big Sea
|Great Big Sea
|Hooked On A Feeling
|Resevoir Dogs
|On the Floor
|Jennifer Lopez
|Candy Man
|Christina Aguilera
So, this is what we have the music choices at for now. Suggestions? Comments? Opinions?

Don't be so subtle as to just arrange the evnt to discouirage children, put on the invitations 'We regret this is a child-free event' – even if you don't 😉

Love it and the playlist. My now hubby and I were not really into the whole wedding thing so we eloped. It was perfect. Your playlist though, makes me want to party. Saying hi from Triberr!

UC Berkeley amoung schools watched on Middle East group's Web site
BERKELEY — A Philadelphia-based think tank has launched a Web site called Campus Watch on which plans to list and discuss instances of anti-Israeli sentiment around the country with a focus on activity at several universities, including three from the San Francisco Bay area.
The site is managed by Middle East Forum, according to an introduction on the homepage, and will monitor reaction to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and profile individuals who teach the subject throughout the United States.
It focuses, however, on 14 schools which have had experienced intense campus unrest related to the conflict, including the University of California, Berkeley, San Francisco State University and Stanford University.
Harvard University, Colorado College and the University of North Carolina also are included on the list.
The new site comes to the Internet just days after Harvard University president Lawrence Summers denounced as anti-Semitic a campaign, which began at Berkeley, that condemns Israel for human rights abuses and urges universities to divest in companies there.

Air cooler makes the summer cool and easy. Nowadays many people are shifting towards air conditioners, even though air coolers are having little demand in the Indian household. Actually, it has more demand because of its very low cost. The best air cooler comes under Rs. 7,000 whereas AC price starts from Rs.30,000.
What is Air Cooler?
Cooler is a cooling system which changes the hot air into cool air by using water and works as air cooling device. It reduces the air temperature and increases airflow with the help of cooling fins, fans or finned coils. This technique involves increased airflow over the cooling pads, which needs to be cooled or to increase the area of the object to enter the heat.

Best Air Cooler Buying Guide
How Does It Work?
As mentioned above that a cooler works as cooling system for air cooling. The working of the air cooler is very simple. It just needs water. You have to pour water into the cooling pads of air cooler, then the water takes up the heat from the outside air and it evaporates. The transfer of heat from the air to water makes the room temperature cool. This cool air enters the overall room and makes you cool. This process repeated constantly and gives you cooled air.
The working of cooler involves only evaporation of water. Without using any cooling gases or any harmful gases, just by using water you can cool the room. Hence, it is an environment -friendly way of cooling space.

Types of Coolers
Two types of air coolers are available. They are
1. Personal Air Cooler

But the difference is desert coolers are placed on the window, it sucks air from the outside whereas room coolers are placed inside the room and the air circulates in the room itself.

Air Cooler size calculation according to the room area
When you are purchasing the air cooler, you should look for the 'Area covered' or 'Cooling area' specification in the model description. That 'Area covered' should be equal or more than your room size. You can check the CFM, the total air in the room that changes for every 2 minutes. To check the CFM
CFM in hours= (room surface area in square feets*room height*0.84).
If you have 400 sq feet home with a room height of 8 feet high, then CFM= 400*8*0.84=2688.
Hence you need a cooler with a minimum airflow of 2688 cfm.
Different Features of Air Coolers
- Ice cube tray:
You can place the ice cubes in the top tray of the air cooler. Ice melts slowly and the ice water enters into the tank.
- Air cooler compatible with inverter:
You can run air cooler with inverter also because it consumes very less electricity like 120W to 180W. You have lights and fans which consumes 200 W. So, 600 VA inverter is sufficient and 900 VA inverter is more than enough.
- Remote Control Feature:
You can operate the cooler using remote just like AC, TV, etc.
- Variable Speed Control Knob:
You can control the fan speed using this button.
- Water level Indicator:
It helps you to suggest the water level. It indicates the level of water in the tank is filled or not.
- Tower Air Coolers:
These are the latest buzz with new design trend. These coolers will give more elegance to your room and also saves a lot of space.
- Multifunctional Wheels:
These are also known as caster wheels. These wheels make the air cooler to move easily from one room to another room by making it very portable.
- Empty Tank Alarm:
When the required level of water is dropped below, you can hear the alarm which indicates the lower water level. This feature is very helpful because running the air cooler without water may damage the air cooled motor. This is available only in high-end air coolers.
Air Cooler without Water
Here is a new technology, air cooler running without water. There is no need for a large water tank and extra water motor and hence the cost will decrease. Not only that the people living in water scared areas also can use this excellent feature.
This can be happened by pushing air from a large area to a small exit, which is just like blowing air from your mouth. You can change the pressure. But the disadvantage is the effectiveness of cooling is very limited. It needs to be improved a lot and people should accept this as mainstream usage.
Guidelines for the usage of Air Cooler:
- It is better to clean the cooler well before using it.
- The windows and doors should be open to making the cooler functioning correctly. If they are closed, the humidity in air increases and cooler stops functioning.
- Regularly oil the motor.
- Clean the hose pipes.
- Better to change the cooling pad every year.
- Cover the cooler after the use.
Parts and Components of Air Cooler:
- Vents: They are the openings in the air cooler which are used to blow the air outside. A fan will be placed near the vents to increase the air flow. During milder weather conditions, you can adjust the settings of vent that to cool directly and hence it reduces energy consumption.
- Distributor: It distributes the water over the cooling pad. The water flow in this part is controlled by the pump and motor.
- Water Tank: Container which you need to fill the water. You can also add the ice cubes in some models.
- Motor: It is the heart of the air cooler, which controls the entire operation of the cooling device. The speed and performance may differ from model to model.
- Cooler Pump: It drains water from the tank to the cooler pads through the distributor channels.
- Accessories: The other important accessories are brass fittings, tubing, cooler leg kits, blades, fan blades, adapter, cover, side grill, and float valve.

Can Your Raw Cheese Plate Kill You?
Say it ain't so! Could your cheese be deadly? Soft raw milk cheese made by Vulto Creamery in New York has been identified as the likely source of a listeria outbreak that killed two people and sent four more—including a newborn—to the hospital, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Due to the risk, Vulto recalled several of its wash-rind raw milk cheeses Tuesday, according to an FDA announcement. Champions of the trend believe minimally processed foods like raw milk are loaded with extra health benefits, but that's not always the case, the CDC reports.

In light of current NFL controversy, Sean "Diddy" Combs looks to explore starting a league of his own.
Diddy has made it no secret in the past that he would like to own an NFL franchise. Now, the business mogul seems to be expanding his vision.
With the controversy surrounding former San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick's inability to land a roster spot, the continued protests of the national anthem and the current suspension of ESPN SportsCenter host Jemele Hill for violating the network's social media policy, it appears Sean "Diddy" Combs has birthed the idea to run his own league…or just buy the entire NFL.
This exclamation came after Diddy's retweet of political commentator Keith Boykin's tweet that read, "Black players are 70% of the NFL. We have the power to defend Colin Kaepernick and Jemele Hill from the forces that would silence them."
Diddy then unleashed a stream of tweets, further detailing his vision regarding a professional football league.
The NFL has long operated a monopoly on professional football. Combs and the partners he'd have access to would absolutely have enough funding to start a league. The larger question is whether said would draw enough of an audience to sustain it and make a return on that investment.
All that being said, it will no be an easy task to be in direct competition with the NFL. Many have tried and not one has succeeded. However, a window has possibly opened for an alternative to the straight-laced NFL. And knowing Diddy's past, he would absolutely be one to be taken seriously if he decides to give it a go.

Kimberly Cockerham, MD, FACS: Facing Facial Hair Loss Together
When we hear the term "hair restoration," the first thought that comes to mind is the hair on our head. Hair loss in men and women has been a long-standing source of loss of self-esteem, and treatments for thinning hair are abundant. Hair loss can also affect eyebrows and eyelashes, and that loss can be just as devastating, especially in women.
"Our eyes are crucial to our appearance and the way we communicate; eyelash and eyebrow loss can be devastating to self-esteem," noted Dr. Kimberly Cockerham. "Loss of eyelashes and eyebrows can occur due to hormonal changes such as menopause or thyroid imbalance, due to over plucking or simply with age. Thinning hair, a receding forehead or loss of eyelashes and eyebrows can make those affected feel like they've lost a part of what makes them young and attractive. In cases of cancer, burns and trauma, the loss can result in facial disfigurement that limits employment options."
Introducing SmartGraft™
Dr. Cockerham, a board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in oculofacial plastics, is introducing a minimally invasive advanced technology to the Central Valley. Through her team effort with Dr. Theodore Staahl, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, hair restoration for eyelashes, eyebrows, beard and scalp is now available at the North California Hair Restoration Center for both women and men. "SmartGraft™ is the new natural and permanent hair restoration option; it's minimally invasive with little discomfort," Dr. Cockerham affirmed.
The SmartGraft procedure simplifies hair transplantation and eliminates the need for surgery. Classic hair restoration required a large strip of hair to be surgically removed from the back of the head and resulted in a permanent, often visible, scar. Now, single hairs are harvested from the back of the head, temple region or unwanted sideburns via an amazing patented technology that transports the hair in a physiologic solution to a safe, temperature-controlled chamber prior to transplantation to the area of need. As a result, there is no trauma to the hair follicle when it's removed, making it more viable than with previous treatment options.
In only a few hours, the SmartGraft procedure can correct missing eyebrows, add fullness to thinning brows, reshape or fill in bare spots in the brows and other areas. After the procedure, return to work is possible in a day or two and sports activities can be resumed within a week. "Eyebrows can be restored naturally and permanently even over tattooed brows," Dr. Cockerham elaborated.
Let's Face It Together Foundation
As a decorated Army veteran, Dr. Cockerham has committed her professional career to helping people from all walks of life with facial disfigurement rebuild their lives "face first." Hair restoration will also be offered through the Let's Face it Together foundation for our under-insured neighbors in need suffering from hair loss due to cancer, burns and other tragedies.
"Our hair restoration team will offer a personalized approach. Working with Dr. Marie Cottman and the Pacific Compounding Pharmacy, your hormonal balance will be optimized, nutritional deficits will be addressed and a personalized regimen of over-the-counter topicals and nutritional supplements will be created just for you," she explained. "Depending on your needs, growth factors stimulation with platelet rich plasma, stem cells injection and hair transplantation may play a role in your hair restoration.
"The face and eyes are crucial to the way we express our emotions both personally and professionally," stated Dr. Cockerham. "Our team looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals." ■

Ask anyone in the waste and recycling industry about fire incidents, and they likely will recall a fire on the tipping floor at a material recovery facility (MRF) or an explosion inside a collection truck caused by a lithium-ion battery. The frequency of fires ignited by lithium-ion batteries has prompted many recyclers to dedicate resources not only to public outreach but also to a combination of measures designed to prevent fires at facilities.
At the MRF, operators use infrared cameras and other monitoring technology, training programs and automated foam dispensers that extinguish fires before they can become a major incident. Companies also are turning to municipalities and nonprofits for assistance in education outreach efforts to address this issue at the collection stage.
On Phoenix-based Republic Services' recycling education website, https://recyclingsimplified.com, for example, the company informs residential and commercial customers that "electronics, batteries and lightbulbs cannot go into your recycling container and require special handling" and directs residents to check local programs for disposal options.
"We've been helping to form a narrative with expanded public education around the inherent risk and dangers of these types of batteries," says Pete Keller, vice president of recycling and sustainability at Republic Services. "We're trying to broadcast those types of materials don't belong in recyclable or municipal solid waste streams. They should be taken to appropriate recycling facilities or national takeback programs at big-box stores."
Many MRFs have successfully reduced fires by working with nonprofits, including Atlanta-based Call2Recycle, to separate and collect batteries before they enter the recycling stream. Through the program, Call2Recycle has recycled millions of batteries per year. However, the business of collecting batteries is not without risk.
A precautionary tale
Carl Smith, CEO and president of Call2Recycle, says the nonprofit had to double its safety efforts after a fire incident on a FedEx truck in 2017. The organization now requires MRFs, municipalities and retailers participating in the program to complete a free online safety training module.
"Anyone that handles a great amount of waste has had some sort of incident with a lithium-ion battery," Smith says. "The phenomena we and the MRFs face is, increasingly, lithium-based batteries are embedded in products [and] are not intended to be removed by the consumer. The best example is an electronic toothbrush. When consumers take those out, those batteries are damaged. Those damaged batteries are one of the big things we see in our program that cause some of the safety incidents."
A growing number of fires that was tied to damaged batteries convinced Call2Recycle to launch a pilot program aimed at reducing battery-related incidents.
Last year, Call2Recycle's Avoid the Spark campaign in five counties in the Bay Area of California exposed consumers to the realities MRFs face when batteries are improperly disposed of. In California, Smith says, one of the main issues is batteries being placed in curbside recycling bins.
"They assume, 'I have a recycling program, I can put it in curbside recycling,'" Smith says. "Recycling done well can reduce safety incidences, but just recycling for recycling's sake oftentimes brings as much problems as it does virtue."
The Avoid the Spark campaign resulted in a 90 percent reduction of "at-risk" collection boxes returned to Call2Recycle. The pilot proved "if you have an integrated effort, you can reduce safety incidences," Smith says. However, the challenge is finding the funds to achieve broader consumer outreach and to roll out a battery recycling campaign nationwide, he says.
Being a local leader
Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility, San Rafael, California, is one of the facilities that participates in the Call2Recycle program, collecting batteries from the county and shipping them to Call2Recycle. The facility also participated in the Avoid the Spark campaign last year.
Marin decided to build a permanent household hazardous waste (HHW) facility after seeing the results from a survey done by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The survey found that hundreds of tons of HHW ended up at the transfer station and landfill each year. Before the facility was built, a series of fire incidents in waste and recycling trucks also occurred, says Kathy Wall, program manager at Marin.
Wall is originally from Colombia, where she says she observed people improperly disposing of hazardous items at dump sites. In California, residents also dispose of lithium-ion batteries improperly, which can cause facility and truck fires.
"The main reason we decided to be a part of the campaign and to keep working with Call2Recycle is the majority of people believe the main hazard with batteries is the toxic chemicals in them, but the truth is the main hazard for us is the fire issue," Wall says. "We know that facilities in California have been experiencing these fires because of lithium-ion batteries. We don't want to wait until we have a fire to do something about it."
When Wall first started researching Call2Recycle's program, she learned it also would reduce recycling and disposal costs for the county.
"Anyone that handles a great amount of waste has had some sort of incident with a lithium-ion battery." – Carl Smith, CEO and president, Call2Recycle
"At the time, we were paying to recycle rechargeable and single-use batteries, and batteries are very expensive to recycle," Wall says. "I started to learn there were programs that accepted batteries. I pulled information on how much we were paying for shipping and battery recycling for three years. I found out how much the Call2Recycle program would save us."
The program has not only reduced costs for the facility, it also has expanded outreach efforts in the county. A component of the Call2Recycle program calls for participants to create education outreach materials for the community. Wall says she was inspired to create her own collection boxes with information on how and why to recycle batteries and where to find local drop-off locations. The education materials were distributed in Spanish as well to serve California's diverse population.
"You need to really understand who the local communities are who can support you to promote your program," she says. "Sometimes, we feel we need a lot of money and we need to do it all, but there are already a lot of nonprofit organizations that are interested in doing their part. You don't have to do it alone."
Her advice for MRFs or facilities considering working with a nonprofit on a battery recycling program is to understand "how it's going to affect your operations," she says. "You can save money on shipping and recycling costs, but is it going to require new labor or new training?"
Wall says having an HHW facility has been imperative to keeping batteries and other hazardous items out of the waste and recycling stream in Marin County.
"We operate five days a week," Wall says. "We serve approximately 120 residents per day, as well as 25 to 30 small businesses throughout the month. We collect about 500 tons per year, so we're diverting a lot of electronic scrap and household batteries from the landfill."
Although the Marin facility has never had a major fire, Wall says she has learned from fires across California and the country. It also won Call2Recycle's Leadership in Sustainability award last year.
Preventive measures
Beyond consumer education, Smith says MRFs and facilities must have practical solutions to reduce battery-related fire incidents. For Call2Recycle, that meant creating a flame-retardant liner that goes inside every Call2Recycle collection box.
"One of the imperative parts of our program that's saved us is the flame-retardant liner in our collection box," he says. "We would have had a lot of issues with our collection program if we didn't have that in place. It's a liner that goes into our box that prevents the types of accidents we've seen. We know it's worked because we routinely get back burnt boxes."
Smith adds, "The issue with these batteries is not going away. Lithium-ion batteries are going to be with us a long time, and sooner or later all of us must figure out the best way to deal with them. There's no silver bullet on the horizon that's going to stop all of this from happening. Like anything, prevention is the key."

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The Number One Hammer[1] (or No.1 Hammer[2][3]) is an object that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is Bert's primary tool of choice for combat and repairs of Badniks.
Bert's Number One Hammer is a metallic club hammer, with a cuboidal block for a head. Its handle was original made of wood, but was later switched out with a metal handle.
Features and traits
The hammer is quite durable. It has the potency to smash apart Badniks when used in tandem with Bert's strength[4] and can deflect laser shots.[5]
Bert used the Number One Hammer as part of his job to remedy the Badniks that had caught the Nicenik virus.[2] After using his hammer to remodel a Trooper for letting two Niceniks get away,[3] Bert put it to use when defending himself when the Niceniks attacked.[6]
When Bert took his hammer with him out on a repair job, he and Cam were tasked with moving Badniks from the Palmtree Panic Zone to the Green Hill zone, during which Bert used his hammer on an Anton that refused to cooperate.[1][4] He also used it to fight off the same Palmtree Panic Zone Badniks as they seized the Green Hill Zone for themselves.[4] After punishing a uncooperative Anton with his hammer,[7] Bert would use it for defense during the battle of the Seven Badniks.[5]
- Bert often polishes his hammer whilst nervous.[1]
