Rumors of a bounty on the heads of the unruly travellers appear to be true, The Stuffed Herald can confirm.
Our Herald was able to secure an exclusive interview with a man wishing to be known only as Winston, who is the owner of the mysterious Continental Hotel.
"Yes, we have received word of a bounty." He said.
"Some independent contractors I am acquainted with have been discussing this offer, but nobody is particularly interested."
Our Herald asked Winston what he thought might be behind the lack of interest.
"The offer is just too low. It's so low it's an insult."
When asked what a more appropriate offer would be, Winston declined to go into details.
"Discussing such sensitive matters would be gauche. Suffice to say, the contractors I have the pleasure to know are seasoned professionals. As such, they should be offered a reasonable fee, in respect of their experience."
"Such delicate work has costs involved, many costs." Winston explained.
"There is travel, of course; and equipment. These contractors use highly specialised equipment which requires careful maintenance and upkeep."
"If one is travelling, there is also the matter of suitable lodgings. These, again, involve cost. A mere Holiday Inn would not be at all appropriate."
Our Herald asked Winston if there was any truth behind the rumor the services of Baba Yaga had been requested.
"I cannot confirm nor deny the existence any person going by such an alias, nor can I discuss any particular requests regarding that offer."
"However, I will say that requesting a particular contractor is terribly discourteous, and an affront to the fine work this industry provides."
"All offers should be made available to any contractor who wishes to accept."
The unruly tourists have caused so much mayhem during their stay in New Zealand that not even airlines want to deal with them.
As our Herald was wrapping up the interview, he watched a slim man with dark hair stride across the lobby, and asked if that man was who he thought it was.
"I'm afraid I do not know. All of our guests demand the highest level of privacy and we do not use names."
Following this final response, Winston apologised that he had no time for further questions, and our Herald was quickly but politely escorted to the street by an tall and imposing concierge.

Gemma Kauffman
Painter, continually redefining my practice through collaborations with other artists, photographers, film makers, and recently live/performance art. I am fascinated by the power of the image.
I am inspired by Nature and the abstraction of experience and memory. The intersection: natural meets artificial, real meets imagined, introvert meets extrovert, open meets closed, elevate meets diminished.
I am influenced by psychology, film, music, symbolism, metaphor, abstraction, visual language, and also themes of identity, Self, narrative, and authenticity.
Since graduating from Camberwell College of Art I have explored art making in many different materials, from ceramics, to textiles, to mixed media constructions, all with the aim of exploring colour and narrative, I was late to begin painting and now painting is my world where everything begins.

|eyes opening to a wonderment of pure romance
The clouds of this dream part and as the haze lifts we are in a romantic restaurant. In a secluded corner table, the light and aroma from the softly burning candles glow into a feeling of indescribable anticipation. The depth of your soul is flowing , with the flickering candle light dancing across your deep tantalizing eyes.... Music flowing in the back ground adds to the warmth and mystical feelings we have, as I pull you close to me. How could I not kiss you, or did you kiss me.....Hmmmmmm the feelings that traveled through body's awaking senses of desire.Is it the moment or is it something else? Our laughter and playfulness continues as we move to a outside patio. Soft muffled music still radiates through the outside walls..as the moon light sparkles in your sweet face. Holding my hand we walk down a long stair way as the music fades away completely we come to a beautiful gazebo. A light breeze moves you close to me and our lips touch into a kiss that would burn in to our memories to last the ages. As my eye open to a fresh and beautiful morning your beside me and we start this new day together. Tweet

The last few weeks have stirred me to write, given the times we are in and the unknown paths we tread. W B Yeats' poem resonates with me today, in between the defeat of the UK Government's Withdrawal Agreement from the EU and a vote of 'No Confidence" in the same government. A brilliant rendition by Joni Mitchell also captures the haunting uncertainty of what is being released and revealed
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Nick Tabor in the Paris Review explains some of the context for this poem –
"Yeats began writing the poem in January 1919, in the wake of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and political turmoil in his native Ireland [Easter Rising in 1916 and before the UK Government sent in the Black and Tans]. But the first stanza captures more than just political unrest and violence. Its anxiety concerns the social ills of modernity: the rupture of traditional family and societal structures; the loss of collective religious faith, and with it, the collective sense of purpose; the feeling that the old rules no longer apply and there's nothing to replace them. It's the same form of despair we see in, say, Ivan Karamazov.
Of course, twentieth-century history did turn more horrific after 1919, as the poem forebodes. The narrator suggests something like the Christian notion of a "second coming" is about to occur, but rather than earthly peace, it will bring terror. As for the slouching beast, the best explanation is that it's not a particular political regime, or even fascism itself, but a broader historical force, comprising the technological, the ideological, and the political. A century later, we can see the beast in the atomic bomb, the Holocaust, the regimes of Stalin and Mao, and all manner of systematized atrocity." (Nick Tabor, No Slouch, the PARIS REVIEW 7/4/15)
You can add the rise of intolerance of people of difference, violent demonstrations on the street of Paris. It feels like part of what is being revealed is the failure of the western political systems to effectively represent and care for its peoples. Their rage, with complex and deep roots, lays the straw in the stable.
I have felt that 2019 will be the year of the 'other' and I can only respond as an individual and take responsibility for I treat how people who are different to me, make different choices and believe different things. One way to stand against the beast is to move in the opposite spirit, with kindness and generosity. And of course, to pray.

FORT MYERS DJ LeMahieu Jersey , Fla. (AP) — the team on Friday morning about the death of longtime Boston Globe baseball writer Nick Cafardo.Cora said he told the players to enjoy themselves on the field and to celebrate Cafardo's life.Cafardo collapsed outside the Red Sox clubhouse on Thursday and died of what his newspaper said was an apparent embolism. He was 62 and had covered the team for most of the past 30 years.The Red Sox placed a dozen roses at Cafardo's seat in the press box on Friday morning. The Baltimore Orioles' beat writers and media-relations staff sent five dozen donuts, along with their condolences.Cora used his mid-morning session with reporters to speak for more than seven minutes about Cafardo and chose not to discuss any other topics.He told reporters: "That's why I don't get caught up in the whole game. It's just a game. When you leave, that's real. Life is real."

The DGKL division "LC-MS/MS in Laboratory Diagnostics" was founded in 2004; since then the group has successfully contributed to the networking of LC-MS/MS users in laboratory medical research and practice in Germany. Since 2004 annual user meetings with more than 100 participants have been organised by the WG. The interaction between universities, non-university institutions and industry resulting from these meetings in recent years has been very constructive and has led to continuous further development of standards for mass spectrometric analysis in clinical laboratories. The "Clinical Mass Spectrometry" Division was founded in 2016 in order to continue the work of the working group and to enable further interested members of the DGKL to participate.
Mass spectrometric methods have recently become key technologies in a number of areas of clinical chemistry. The division shall be open to users of all mass spectrometric methods.
This seems to make sense since, in addition to the classical LC-MS/MS, a number of related mass spectrometric methods have found application in clinical chemistry, including ion trap technologies in toxicology and MALDI-TOF MS in microbiology. A close association and networking with the division "Endocrinology" and "Molecular Diagnostics" as well as with the DGKL working groups "Accreditation", "Extraanalytical Quality", "Clinical-toxicological Analysis" is planned. Cooperation with societies and groups outside the DGKL should be efficiently established through a division "Clinical Mass Spectrometry"; especially with the GDCh, EFLM and IFCC.

Shirt Laundry Challenge: One Month In
Last month, I announced to the world that I intended to go as long as possible without washing or re-wearing a shirt. The last time I washed a shirt was March 10th. One month later, I'm low on available shirts but still going strong. I've had the opportunity to try new combinations of clothing thanks to not being able to rely on old mainstays all the time. More strangely, I now have a mountainous pile of shirts sitting beside my laundry basket. Ever wondered what a month's worth of shirts looks like? Well, now you know.

Dignity - St. Rose Receives $10 Million for Breast Cancer Detection
The St. Rose Dominican Health Foundation, the charitable arm of Dignity Health – St. Rose Dominican, the fifth largest health system in the nation, has announced a $10 million gift from the Engelstad Family Foundation in Las Vegas in support of an early breast cancer detection program.
The largest gift in St. Rose Dominican's history will support the R.E.D. Rose Program, which promotes responsible early detection of breast cancer and provides access to life-saving diagnostic treatment for underinsured and uninsured patients in southern Nevada. Since its inception, the program has provided access to screenings, clinical breast exams, mammograms, ultrasounds, surgical consultations, and biopsies for more than six thousand women who lack adequate healthcare resources or the financial means to obtain them. In recognition of the gift, the program will be renamed the Engelstad Foundation R.E.D. Rose Program.
"Philanthropy is sometimes seen as a high-brow word," said St. Rose Dominican Health Foundation president Charles Guida. "But at its core, philanthropy truly represents the most boots-on-the-ground element of what we do, delivering resources and allowing us to create and enhance much-needed programs at the hospital and in our community. We are beyond grateful to the Engelstad Foundation, which has partnered with St. Rose for years to make a significant and lasting impact in the care we provide and the patients we serve. These are programs that wouldn't exist without generosity and kindness. This is truly impactful!"

prime of life, o lamented by her afflicted husband and sorrowing parents, and extensively and cordially regretted.---" She sparkled, was exhaled, and went to Heaven." At his chambers, Gray's Inn, in his 76th year, Samuel Webbe, sen. the eminent musician, who by his general, as well as professional erudition, the acuteness of his perception, the solidity of his judgment, the impressiveness of his language, his universal philanthropy, the simplicity of his heart, and the dignified amenity of his manners excited the admiration and love of all who enjoyed the happiness of his acquaintance: He afforded one of the most extraordinary instances of a life well spent, in the genuine sense of the expression, that is not often presented to our knowledge. He was born in 1740, of parents of high respectability and independent fortune. His father was sent to Minorca under some government appointment, while he was yet an infant of scarcely a year old; and, having settled his establishment there, had already written letters for his wife with her infant child to join him, which however, before the preparation for their departure could be completed, was followed by others announcing his death. Independent of the shock on his wife, this event was followed by unfair proceedings, and by the diversion of property }. its rightful descent on the part of those who had the power of controuling the disposal. His wife was thus reduced to a state of comparative penury, which proved disastrous to the future fortunes of his infant son. She could extend to him little advantage of education, but, being intent upon rendering him capable of providing for himself, she bound him apprentice to a cabinet-maker, at the early age of eleven years. This arrangement, however, was so little to his taste, that no sooner were the seven long years elapsed, than he determined to abandon the workshop, and contemplated with infinite regret what he regarded as a total loss of a considerable and valuable portion of his early life. Within a year after this emancipation, (for such he always considered it,) he lost his mother, and with her the little means of support derived from her slender income. Thus destitute of any visible means of support, and still under twenty years of age, he turned his attention to the employment of copying music, as connected with an art of which he was passionately fond, but with which as yet he was totally unacquainted. He obtained his principal employment from a Mr. Welcher, keeper of a well known old music shop in Gerrard-street, Soho, through whom he o: acquainted with a musician of the name of Barbandt, a F. of no particular skill, but from whom e rapidly acquired the rudiments of music, which his own intense study and observation Soon enlarged into a thorough knowledge of the art. At the expiration of his apprenticeship, he applied himself sedulously to the acquirement of Latin, and did not allow himself to be interrupted by the subsequent necessity of copying music for a subsistence, though, when fully employed, he would sit till past twelve at night, and return to it by five in the morning, for a week in succession. He followed the Latin by the study also of French, still appropriating every moment of intermission from those employments suggested by necessity, and excited by an anxious thirst for Self improvement, to the ardent study of music, of which he had now determined to make him. self completely master. His necessities were

w augmented at the age of twenty-three by the addition of a wife, and in the followingge. of a child, but, as difficulties increased, so seemed also to increase his thirst of knowledge; and soon after the birth of his first child, he furnished himself with an Italian master. About this time he ventured to become a
teacher of music, and his progress in the art
fully warranted this undertaking, though he

was but six years since his first acquaintance with the rudiments of music. From this period, scarcely a single year passed without producing the reward of one, and often two prizemedals, down to the time when the club desisted from affording such liberal encouragement to that most desightful and social description of vocal music, glees. His literary studies were subsequently enlarged by the successive acquisition of the German, Greek, and lastly, the Hebrew, language; the reading and understanding of which last, (Hebrew,) he was ac
knowledged, ten years ago, by his master, a
venerable and skilful Rabbi, who visited him in that capacity, to be equal to himself. Although it may seem of minor importance to speak in the midst of a commentary upon the varied faculties and acquirements of his mind, of his bodily graces, it is in point to shew that in the vast range of objects which his ardent industry embraced, these co-adjutors were not neglected, and, in truth, he long excelled in the manly and graceful exercises of fencin and dancing. But superior to all these faculties of mind and these graces of body, were the undescribable excellencies—the simplicity, the tenderness, the thorough goodness of his heart. His works are extremely numerous as well as infinitely varied----having written largely for the church; his anthems are in use in almost every cathedral in the country; he composed also two or three operas, many quartetts and instrumental lessons---numerous Songs, some of them highly distinguished as public favourites, as "the Mansion of Peace," &c. and Glees innumerable and so well known, as to require no formal eulogium. As an English composer he will always rank with Locke, Morley, Purcell, and Arne, while as a man and a scholar his transcendent qualities raise him high among the most renowned of British worthies. At Highgate, 52, the Rev. Jeremihh Joyce, the ingenious author of many elementary works, which bear his name, and the laborious and honest compiler of others published anonymously, or under tile names of other persons. He was first known to the public in consequence of the audacious attempt made by Messrs. Pitt and Dundas on the lives of several undaunted friends of Parliamentary Reform; and Mr. Joyce was specially marked for the vengeance of those unprincipled ministers, by the circumstance of his being tutor to the sons of Earl Stanhope, then a leader among the patriotic reformers. Indeed, the arrests and the subsequent state trials were said to have arisen from Mr. Joyce having written a laconic note to Mr. Tooke, about a literary work then on the eve of publication, in which he Asked the question, "Shall you be ready by Wednesday." This note miscarried, and on Tuesday the arrests took place. Mr. Joyce has often been heard to declare, that he did not personally know more than six, and had never spoken of more than three or four of the twelve strangers, to each of whom a Grand Jury were induced, under the misdirection of a judge, to
find a true bill against, as jointly engaged in a conspiracy of treason 1 After the honourable jo. of Messrs. Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall, the law-officers of the crown, in pure shame, dismissed Mr. Joyce and the others without trial, but also without compensation for many months' false imprisonment, under charf. which endangered their lives, and so deepy-inflicted the feelings of the relatives of some of them, as to cause their premature deaths. Earl Stanhope, who felt a wound through the sides of his son's preceptor, gave a spiendid entertainment on the return of Mr. Joyce to Chevening; but some family events soon rendering the continuance of his services unneces
sary, he settled in London, and began that ca
reer of literary * which has often gratified the public, and is likely to prove so useful to the rising generation. One of the first employments in which he was thus engaged was as a coadjutor of the late Dr. George Gregory, in his compendious Cyclopedia; and, the great success of that work having excited the avidity of other booksellers, Mr. Joyce was engaged by the body of them, who then met at the Chapter Coffee-House, to compile ancw work on the plan of Gregory's, and it appeared under the name of the late William Nicholson. Both works having rapidly succeeded each other, and being completed within thirty months, the co-labourer in one, and the sole compiler of the other, became justly celebrated for his industry and learning, and we may add, for his zeal aid integrity; but such great exertions brought on a severe attack of disease,
from which he never fully recovered. Soon after, Mr. Joyce completed his popular. Elements of Arithmetic, of which repeated editions of 10,000 have been sold, and it has long been adopted in the principal schools, as the best in the language. His next publication, was his well known Scientific Dialogues, followed in the same line of composition, by his Dialogues on Chemistry and on the Microscope... His other works were his Letters on Natural Philosophy, his Introduction to the Arts and Sciences; and lastly, he co-operated with Messrs. SHEPHERD and CARPENTER, in a well planned work, called Systematic Education, which has been favourably received. For many years he contributed the Meteorological Report to this Ma: gazine, even that in the present number, and often illustrated its pages by his contribution; on matter of fact and useful subjects. One of his last communications was the account of his late brother, in our Magazine for May; and at that timé, and till within two hours of his death, he was in as good health as he had been for several years past. . The qualities of his mind are to be estimated by the variety and extent of his labours; and in regard to those of his heart, we, who knew him well, can assert, that an honester or better man never lived. He has left an amiable widow, and a large young family, to deplore their irreparable loss in the produce of his unceasing industry, in the example afforded by his virtuous character, and in the valuable precepts and instruction with which he was so well qualified to guide them to happiness.

It was a great honour being asked to photography Dan & Laura's elopement… not because there super cool people (but they are) but because it was in one of my favourite cities in the world… a city so amazing they named it twice, New York, New York!
We'd met the lovely couple at the Birmingham NEC show (National Wedding Show) in 2017. And they'd booked me on the spot as they loved what I'd seen, and it didn't hurt that I'd previously shot 3 other weddings in New York.
So, the day had finally arrived, we'd all flown out, liaisons had been made (Starbucks, Times Square lol) and locations had been sourced… we were ready.
And on the day… thunderstorms struck.
But, we soldiered on, and the couple were stars, dodging rain and wind, and I had a great time with them hitting all of the classic New York sites.
New York really is an amazing city, its not one thing, but seemingly a million things rolled into one. Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn is just so iconic, and we were super lucky to be able to visit the famous "Dumbo" street as the rain cleared up. Another great spot was the Bushwick Collective, and amazing neighbourhood in Williamsberg, Brooklyn were the whole neighbourhood is covered in great graffiti. Including the iconic "til death do us part", which unfortunately some idiot had "tagged"… what a loser!
So, it was under the watchful eye of Bushwick Legend "Biggie Smalls" that we explored that area as well as Manhattan classics such as Times Square, and Central Park.
From past experience we'd decided to split the shoot into two separate days. One day was a few informal portraits around Manhattan, the second was the actual ceremony at New York City Hall, where we arrived bright and early at 8.30am to wait in line for our turn at the ceremony which lasted approximately two minutes ha, ha!
After the ceremony it was off the Brooklyn for an afternoon of rain dodging, ubers, traffic jams but mostly amazingly fun photography!
New York, New York, it's a hell of a town.

|Black History Month
A painting dedicated to the founders of Black History Month, the Black United Students at Kent State University, by Ernie Pryor.[1]
|Also called
|African-American History Month
|Observed by
|United States, Canada,[2] United Kingdom,[3] Germany,[4] Netherlands[5]
|Celebration of African-American history
|Months of February and October
Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month in the U.S., is an annual observance in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and (since 2016)[6]the Netherlands, where it is known as Black Achievement Month. It began as a way for remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States[7] and Canada[8] in February, as well as in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands[9] in October.[6]
Negro History Week (1926)
The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week".[10] This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which dates black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century.[10]
From the event's initial phase, primary emphasis was placed on encouraging the coordinated teaching of the history of American blacks in the nation's public schools. The first Negro History Week was met with a lukewarm response, gaining the cooperation of the Departments of Education of the states of North Carolina, Delaware, and West Virginia as well as the city school administrations of Baltimore and Washington, D.C..[11] Despite this far from universal acceptance, the event was regarded by Woodson as "one of the most fortunate steps ever taken by the Association", and plans for a repeat of the event on an annual basis continued apace.[11]
At the time of Negro History Week's launch, Woodson contended that the teaching of black history was essential to ensure the physical and intellectual survival of the race within broader society:
"If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. The American Indian left no continuous record. He did not appreciate the value of tradition; and where is he today? The Hebrew keenly appreciated the value of tradition, as is attested by the Bible itself. In spite of worldwide persecution, therefore, he is a great factor in our civilization."[12]By 1929 The Journal of Negro History was able to note that with only two exceptions, officials with the State Departments of Educations of "every state with considerable Negro population" had made the event known to that state's teachers and distributed official literature associated with the event".[13] Churches also played a significant role in the distribution of literature in association with Negro History Week during this initial interval, with the mainstream and black press aiding in the publicity effort.[14]
Negro History Week was met with enthusiastic response; it prompted the creation of black history clubs, an increase in interest among teachers, and interest from progressive whites. Negro History Week grew in popularity throughout the following decades, with mayors across the United States endorsing it as a holiday.[10]
On February 21, 2016, 106-year Washington D.C. resident and school volunteer Virginia McLaurin visited the White House as part of Black History Month. When asked by the president why she was there, McLaurin said, "A black president. A black wife. And I'm here to celebrate black history. That's what I'm here for."
United States: Black History Month (1970)
Six years later Black History Month was being celebrated all across the country in educational institutions, centers of Black culture and community centers, both great and small, when President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month, during the celebration of the United States Bicentennial. He urged Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history".[15]
United Kingdom (1987)
Black History Month was first celebrated in the United Kingdom in 1987. It was organised through the leadership of Ghanaian analyst Akyaaba Addai-Sebo, who had served as a coordinator of special projects for the Greater London Council (GLC) and created a collaboration to get it underway.[16] It was first celebrated in London.[17]
Canada (1995)
In 1995, after a motion by politician Jean Augustine, representing the riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore in Ontario, Canada's House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month and honored Black Canadians. In 2008, Senator Donald Oliver moved to have the Senate officially recognize Black History Month, which was unanimously approved.[8]
Black History Month often sparks an annual debate about the continued usefulness and fairness of a designated month dedicated to the history of one race. Criticisms include questions over whether it is appropriate to confine the celebration of Black history to one month, as opposed to integration of Black history into the mainstream education the rest of the year. Another criticism is that contrary to the original inspiration for Black History Month, which was a desire to redress the manner in which American schools failed to represent Black historical figures as anything other than slaves or colonial subjects, Black History Month reduces complex historical figures to overly simplified objects of hero worship. Another criticism is that the celebration is racist.[18]
Black celebrities such as actor and director Morgan Freeman and actress Stacey Dash have criticized Black History Month,[19][20] with Freeman saying, "I don't want a Black history month. Black history is American history." Freeman has argued that there was no White History Month, because white people did not want their history relegated to just one month.[21]

Blog Entry, Joan Newcomb July 25, 2015
Nobody's Ascending Anywhere ©2015 Joan M. Newcomb
One of my readers asked me some great questions "what's going on vis-a-vis the overall evolution of mankind. Are some" developed" people going to ascend by 2024? 2014 has passed and we're still here."
I answered this in a recent Mystic Minute Video, and wanted to spell it out more clearly here: ain't nobody ascending anywhere.
Yes, we talk about an acceleration in Consciousness. We talk about the vibration rising, getting more sensitive and Aware. But the impression is that at some point we'll become so advanced, we'll just vibrate out of our bodies and disappear into the 5th Dimension.
That's how it feels to our bodies and from our personality's perspective. We can't imagine existing at a higher vibration, we can't comprehend anything but 3-D.
Consciousness is already 5D. Consciousness is beyond the hologram, outside of D altogether. Even D is part of the illusion.
Consciousness embodies reality but is outside of it as well. In Consciousness, there is no time or space, everything is happening at once.
So whenever we try to put things into linear measurements, it's our personality trying to figure it out. Oh, I must be going up in vibration (no, Consciousness is coming more into form). Oh, I must be ascending, I must be developing more (no, you're just experiencing yourself AS Consciousness more, and as Consciousness you're infinite, beyond levels of development).
Back before 2012 they said some people weren't going to make it. They imagined mass destruction. All limited and undeveloped people would die. And, dangit, the politicians and religious fanatics are still here.
Although, if you notice, they're all going more crazy than before. That's because their old paradigms and rigid belief systems are disintegrating and it's freaking them out.
And, guess what, they're Consciousness, too.
To our bodies, and our personalities, it feels like things are going faster. Time progresses that way, to form. But past, present, and future, is all happening simultaneously to Consciousness.
The best way to handle this it to be in present time, in the NOW. You're body feels calmer when focused on the present moment. When you do that, things feel like they're slowing down.
Play with this all - viewing life from Consciousness, being Present, for the next seven days and see what happens!

Unlike his 616 counterpart, this Peter lived with his parents and visited his Uncle Ben and Aunt May very often. Another difference between the two peters was that he was one the most athletic, popular teen in school.
While Peter was experimenting on a spider, the Venom symbiote was watching him and waiting for it's new host. But it accidentally bonded with his father, making him the new Venom. While he snuck away into the night, Peter's mutant abilities activated, just as he was bitten by the spider (a black widow). The widow's radiated poison fused with Peter's newly-changing DNA.
Life Falls Apart
Peter felt sick upon returning home. He threw up on the floor, then passed out on his bed. When he woke up, he discovered his room was covered in webs, and that his saliva was poisonous. After taking a shower, Peter discovered he was even more muscular than the last time he checked. He grabbed his laptop, and found out that there were stingers that burst out from his wrist. Peter decided that he would run away, seeing himself as a freak. He got mixed up in a gang fight: they tried to kill him after he saw them murder someone. After "accidentally" killing the gang members, his father found him and went back to his wife to share his "gift" with her.
Peter decided to go back home, only to find Venom webbing his mother and his two little brothers into cocoons and venom said, "AAA, yes, here's my favorite kid, right on cue." Peter, outraged, attacked Venom, asking him who he was, and kicked him in his jaw, then accidentally punching him into the cocoons, killing their family. Peter forced Venom to peel back his face, only to discover Venom's real identity. Venom begged for him to not kill him, then sucker punched Peter in the face, knocking him down. Peter decided to make a costume, calling himself the Spider. Peter was depressed, and dyed his hair black just to reflect his inner emotions. He began web-swinging to his aunt and uncle, and while swinging near the Empire State Building, he was ambushed by Venom, and both crashed inside. Venom pinned Spider down and said he'd force some of the symbiote onto him. Spider grabbed Venom by the tongue and threw him out the window. Peter decided he would fight for good and become a super hero.
The Ultimate Team-Up
Spider thought he was just going to fight normal, non-powered crooks, but he would soon find out he was dead wrong. After beating up a gang, he was shot in the back of the head with a tranquilizer dart and kidnapped. He later awoke trapped in a force field with a now-awakening Deadpool. A man known as Reed Richards was focusing on the force field for some reason, and Spider stared at his white-templed brown hair, while a blonde dude just stood there watching, a rock-like man blocked the door looking tough, and a woman with unusual elasticity made her head stretch from a huge super-computer to the force field. Her hair was blond.
Spider tried getting out and asked Deadpool for help, but he said he wasn't yet sober from a night of heavy drinking. Spider, annoyed, used some of his toxic spit to no avail. Deadpool merely laughed and told Spider he would handle this. After one gunshot, Deadpool said that was all he could do.
After waiting a silent hour, the stretchy woman asked if they were comfortable, when she then pressed a button, and the door opened, with a man and ten armed guards with him. Both Deadpool and Spider were confused and bored, so Deadpool began cracking knock-knock jokes to keep them entertained. The man carried three bags filled with blood. These bags were revealed to have the corpses of Deadpool's wife, and Spider's Aunt May and Uncle Ben. They were outraged, and both used their power and rage to bust out of the shield, incapacitating Reed while the blonde dude's body ignited.
Spider tried taking out the rock guy, but was thrown at the fire dude, who Deadpool was shooting. The stretching man and rock guy ran away with the chick's body. The fire dude was stabbed in the chest, while the sword melted into his chest, as Spider snapped his neck. Following the bad guys to a helicopter, Deadpool and Spider bantered back and forth about MySpace and dating websites. But then black webs covered Deadpool and Spider's legs, and Venom jumped off the helicopter and asked spider if this was his new friend.
Venom ripped off Deadpool's mask, only to find he was eighteen. Deadpool swiped his mask back, and threw a grenade at Venom. Spider was surprised to see a sonic blaster in the hands of a guy named Eddie Brock, and Venom already fell onto the roof. Eddie introduced himself as a S.H.E.I.L.D agent here to arrest Venom. Peter apologized to his father, and said he let him down. Deadpool said he'd IM Spider later on MySpace, and the two parted ways.
Hard Decisions
Spider had no idea where to live, since all of his relatives were dead, and all he could do was sleep on rooftops and in old buildings. Peter looked for a job on Craigslist and found a hit-job. As much as he hated this, he was broke, and his father held all of his family's wealth. Spider was supposed to kill someone named Mac Gargan. Spider knew who he was, and saw "a nut in a scorpion suit."
After locating Mac, Spider pounced from a building and bit his neck, killing him slowly. Scorpion said something, and out of nowhere, a guy with metal claws ran towards Spider with the rock guy. Scorpion, the rock guy, and the man with claws ganged up on Spider and beat him close to death.
Spider was left for dead, and his costume was ripped apart. Venom escaped and found his son beaten, and thought that this was the perfect time for him to "share the gift" with his son. But Venom didn't know that he left a smaller, stronger gift in a villain that Spider left in a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison, who happened to escape as well. Venom attacked Spider while Carnage, the new villain, attacked them both. Spider was hanging on to life until an old friend came along to even the odds.
Carnage and Venom vs. Spider and Deadpool
Deadpool shot both symbiotes and ported away with Spider. Deadpool actually teleported a few yards behind the two symbiotic villains. Spider immediately healed from his injuries, and asked if he was ready for a tough fight. Carnage interrupted and stabbed him by turning his arm into a sword.
Deadpool, however, healed and started shooting, Spider's mutant ability is revealed. He could now heal lost limbs and organs and other injuries almost as quickly as Deadpool. Venom threatened to eat Deadpool's brain if Spider didn't take his gift. Spider threw Carnage at Venom, webbed them up, threw them at a wall, and called the police. Deadpool asked what he would do next, and Spider responded that he'd keep looking for a job.
Spider: Assassin for Hire
Spider kept doing hit jobs. Aiming for lower jobs, Spider kept getting paid, however, he didn't like how it felt to kill for money. He hated how his life was falling apart. Everything used to be perfect for him, and he turned into a homeless freak trying to deny it with a mask and costume. He began to think he should take his father's offer.
Carnage broke out of prison and ambushed Spider, luckily his spider sense cannot be canceled out by a symbiote, since he was never a host. So as soon as he sensed danger, he used his stingers to impale Carnage's chest,then punched him square in his jaw.
Spider saw himself getting stronger, so he decided to attack the three men who he set out to kill in hard decisions. As soon as he saw Gargan, he was surprised to see him looking like he was 68 years old. He webbed him up and demanded he tell him how he got so old, and where that rock guy and the guy with the claws were. Gargan said the two were named Thing and Wolverine, he also said Spider's poison made him age rapidly, then he dissolved into ash.
Wolverine watched the whole thing, then crossed something off a list. Spider saw this and attacked, only to be knocked out by the Thing and kidnapped.
Spider woke up and saw Wolverine polishing his claws. Then he saw the invisible guy who introduced himself as Mr. Fantastic. Sue Storm was angry with Spider for snapping her brother's neck, and wanted Mr. Fantastic to pop his head by making a large force field in it. He told her to shut up and sit down.
Spider saw and stared in horror, seeing Venom and Carnage on the walls of the base where he was taken to. Venom explained that this was a team that he was the leader of. Spider asked why he was here, and Venom answered saying he would be recruited. Spider refused, and held Sue as hostage, then busted out through a window.
The Hulk
Spider later went to see an old friend named Carl Miller. Spider asked him to study blood samples from the Thing, Carnage, Venom, Deadpool, and his own. Carl saw the blood's superhuman properties, and decided to mix it with a homemade super soldier serum to save himself from cancer. Of course, all of the DNA in the serum did cure his cancer, but with more unexpected results. Miller hulked out and his chemicals made his lab explode, and killed everyone in a five mile radius. Miller was believed to be dead.

- Psychological Awareness of Environment: Spider's spider-sense could be used to psychically see his surrounding environment, even when blinded or in extremely dark conditions, allowing him to navigate without worry. Even under normal conditions, his spider-sense helps him navigate darkened rooms, instinctively avoiding obstacles or hazards, or potentially noisy or unstable floorboards and walls or ceilings that may betray his presence. With his spider-sense, Spider can ascertain non-threatening information, such as detecting the concealed presence of loved ones.
- Radio Frequency Detection: Spider's spider-sense could also be used to detect certain radio frequencies. Spider's technical skill was such that he had designed spider-tracers that broadcast a signal detectable by his Spider-Sense.

He could utilize this to find beings or objects within buildings or other places by the vibrations they emit when moving.
- Biological/Organic Webbing Generation: Spider was gifted with the ability to organically produce his own silk webbing from glands within his forearms. These organic webs had many of the same properties as 616 Spider-Man's artificial webbing, though they required five hours to decay rather than decomposing within two hours. The silk was released through a spinneret near each wrist containing a central web spigot orifice used for web-slinging and drag lines, supplemented by several radial minor spigots for other types of webs connected to specialized glands.
- Poisonous Stingers: Spider developed retractable, poisonous, razor-sharp stingers that were located within his arms that released a polyamine venom, causing direct trauma and/or flaccid paralysis via interference with nerve impulse transmission.

The National Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration is testing the effectiveness of programs that aim to increase employment among noncustodial parents, with the ultimate goal of increasing the likelihood that they meet their child support obligations.
New Study of Program for Noncustodial Parents Reveals Large Effect on Parents' Level of Satisfaction with Child Support Services
Parents who participated in the Child Support Noncustodial Parent Employment Demonstration (CSPED) reported substantially higher levels of satisfaction with child support services compared with those who did not participate in the program. This finding comes from a randomized controlled trial conducted by Mathematica and the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin and sponsored by the Office of Child Support Enforcement within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). CSPED also led to a modest increase in parental earnings within one year after program entry (an effect that did not persist into the second year) and increased the sense of responsibility noncustodial parents felt toward their children.
Although the program did not increase compliance with child support obligations, nearly 70 percent of enrolled parents reported satisfaction with the child support system when offered the less punitive, more individualized CSPED program. Only 46 percent of those not enrolled in the program reported similar levels of satisfaction with the child support system (see figure).
Many parents who do not live with their children, including a disproportionate share of those whose children live in poverty, have weak employment histories and limited earnings and ability to pay child support. In 2012, CSPED launched in eight states to examine the effectiveness of pilot programs designed to help noncustodial parents get jobs. The programs provided a package of services—including employment services, case management, and parenting classes—to help these parents become more financially and emotionally involved in their children's lives. Results from the rigorous evaluation are now available in an impact analysis and a benefit-cost analysis. A supplemental focus brief from the Institute for Research on Poverty, Can a Redesigned Child Support System Do Better?, summarizes overall findings from the impact and benefit-cost analyses. An implementation analysis can also be found on ACF's website.

Fourth Round
Houston 5-0 NTX Rayados
The Dynamo faced off against NTX Rayados of the North Texas Premier Soccer Association. This turned out to be an easy trot for the MLS club as they barely got out of first gear on their way to a 5-0 victory. There was little to learn from this one as the Dynamo were never under any real threat.
Philadelphia 5-0 Richmond Kickers
Richmond Kickers proved little challenge for a Union side filled with youth. Anthony Fontana, Matt Real, Mark McKenzie, and Derrick Jones all started the match and Jack Elliott began his prodigious 2018 goalscoring with a third minute goal off Haris Medunjanin's corner kick. Philly would be up 4-0 before halftime, with Fontana, Marcus Epps, and David Accam all collecting goals (though Fontana's is often counted as an own goal, this seems like a very iffy decision). Jay Simpson added a fifth in the second half, and Richmond's makeshift five-man defense was thoroughly destroyed.
Round of 16
Houston 1-0 Minnesota United
The home side struggled in this one as Minnesota United got a huge late push from Darwin Quintero but couldn't break through. After a first half that must have made the MLS digital team wonder how they were ever going to create a four minute long highlight video, the Dynamo opened the second forty-five with a wonderful near post header from Mauro Manotas to go ahead. The last half hour, however, was as one sided as a match can get. Quintero lofted balls over Houston's back line repeatedly and nobody seemed willing to adjust. In the 88th minute, a foul on a headed chance gave Quintero a spot kick, but the exciting playmaker clanked his shot off the right post and the Dynamo survived.
Philadelphia 2-1 New York Red Bulls
New York Red Bulls came to Philly looking to recover their early season form. After a four match winning streak, they had been stifled by the Union at home, fallen to New England, and drawn with Columbus before eking out a 2-1 win over struggling Seattle. Jesse Marsch rested key men, hoping that a young lineup could see his side past a Union squad still a bit dazed after losing Haris Medunjanin and Ale Bedoya to red cards against Atlanta and then falling 2-0 to Toronto despite controlling the early phase of the match.
It was not to be for Red Bulls. Bedoya and Medunjanin brought the fire of those wronged to the Talen Energy Stadium field, repeatedly fooling onrushing New York defenders. It was no surprise, then, that it was the two veterans combining — and Medunjanin using a bit of magic to send Tyler Adams the wrong way — for the opening goal, a long distance strike from the Bosnian that deflected past Luis Robles. The same two players came together to set up Cory Burke's goal minutes later, one that would become necessary after Bradley Wright-Phillips pulled one back for the enemy.
Houston 4-2 Sporting Kansas City
This one should set off alarm bells for Union fans. The Dynamo picked apart a quality opponent after going behind early, and they did it through the varied skill set of Romell Quioto. First, Quioto whipped in a stunner of a free kick from just above the box in the center. Then he hit the speed burst button and zipped past Kansas City's high back line, controlling a long aerial pass and dinking his finish into the net.
The Dynamo got behind KC's line again through Mauro Manotas to go up 3-1 and added a fourth by creating a 2v1 that Manotas finished with his head from the center of the box. A late consolation goal made the final score 4-2, but this entire match stands out as an example of what can happen if you allow Houston's midfield the time to pick out it's talented front three. Since Philly plays a high line, they must put pressure on the Dynamo's midfield or they risk allowing Quioto and the equally-if-not-more dangerous Alberth Elis to run away with the final.
Philadelphia 1-0 Orlando City
If there was any doubt that the US Open Cup was Ale Bedoya's stage, this match put it to rest. On a fourth minute corner kick, Fafa Picault pushed the ball back across the goalmouth to Bedoya and the captain drove it into the net to put the Union on top. What followed was one of the Union's best halves of soccer all season, and only through luck and goaltending was Orlando City able to stay close. Borek Dockal had two big chances inside the box and David Accam pushed a shot around the far post in an onslaught that saw Philly dominate the center of the pitch. Despite a change of approach after halftime, new Purple Lions head coach James O'Connor could not find a way through the Union defense.
Houston 3-3 LAFC (7-6 on penalties)
In a wild match, the Dynamo finished off LAFC in the eighth round of penalty kicks after giving up a two goal lead in the final fifteen minutes of the game. Diego Rossi scored early and then added two more late for LAFC. Meanwhile, Houston's tallies came from a surprising array of contributors. First, Andrew Wenger plunked the ball into the net off his thighs, then Manotas and Memo Rodriguez added goals to give what appeared to be a solid cushion to the home side. Rossi's one-man comeback sent the game to extra time and then penalties, where Philippe Senderos finished things off for Houston to send them to their first ever US Open Cup final.
Philadelphia 3-0 Chicago Fire
Chicago never had a chance. Raheem Edwards gave the visitors a false dawn with his early attacks up the left and Bastian Schweinsteiger fired a rocket on goal to end the first half, but the Fire had no way through. In the latter half, Bedoya took the match by the scruff of the neck, playing a 1-2 before popping the ball over the defense for Cory Burke to slam home. CJ Sapong nodded a long ball on to Bedoya in the 78th minute and the captain set up Burke's second of the day, then Fabian Herbers and Fafa Picault combined to put the ball on Sapong's feet in front of the goal mouth and the 3-0 scoreline was complete.
Now the Union and Dynamo meet in a final that will see one club collect their first US Open Cup title. Jim Curtin's Union are in their third final in five years and desperate for silverware. Houston, meanwhile, is in their first Open Cup title bout and is ready to sit back and counterattack their way to a win.
Catch all the action Wednesday night at 8PM EST on ESPN2.

Three Fullerton Councilmen Ousted
Pat McKinley, Dick Jones and Don Bankhead were recalled and will be replaced by Travis Kiger, Greg Sebourn and Doug Chaffee.
Voice of OC (https://voiceofoc.org/tag/don-bankhead/)
Pat McKinley, Dick Jones and Don Bankhead were recalled and will be replaced by Travis Kiger, Greg Sebourn and Doug Chaffee.
Sources say Curt Pringle & Associates is being paid by Northrop Grumman and others to oppose water district's efforts to clean up contaminated groundwater along Fullerton-Anaheim border.
The businessman and blogger spent nearly $150,000 in apparently
successful effort to force a recall election. Meanwhile, police and
their supporters funded much of the opposition effort.
The group received donations from 130 individuals in its
apparently unsuccessful campaign to block the recall vote against
three Fullerton City Council members.
Although Kelly Thomas is no longer the focus, angry rhetoric
continues, and there are even "citizen's arrests" in the final
weeks before the Feb. 16 signature deadline.
No board member speaks up in defense of the $98-billion project
that would link Anaheim and San Francisco.
City Council hires attorney to investigate the Kelly Thomas
beating and examine department policies and procedures.
Orange County Water District officials are seeking ways around
state open meeting laws for the discussions.
Oil giant agrees to drop $1 million lawsuit over rejected
development plans as long as the Council approves the plans.
Fullerton City Councilman Don Bankhead wins re-election, but a
race for a second, four-year seat is separated by less than 50

Everything was great we got sat right when we got there and the food and atmosphere was great!!
Their pork chop is the best thing on the menu! This is one of our go to restaurants in Milwaukee.
Food and service was great as always!
This place is very good , great for groups and when you just want to do a date night
It was great. Caesar was our server and he was outstanding. It was our anniversary.
Great food as always, and the service was excellent.
The lettuce salad with the sour cream/anchovy dressing was excellent, as were the 12 oz. fillets. The ribs were absolutely the best I have had at any Carson's in a long, long time; they were sweet and succulent. What made the whole dining experience even better was the service of Carlos; he was extremely attentive and willing to do whatever we asked. I was also impressed by the fact that, when we were leaving, every staff person we passed thanked us for coming and wished us a good evening.
Always consistent! Best ribs and best corn bread in the Milwaukee metro area!
Glad we were able to enjoy Carson's with friends and family. The service and food was great and definitely will come back.
It was amazing! Food was fantastic and the surprise birthday dessert was even better.
Prime Rib Sandwich-save yourself reviewing the menu and make your stomach oh so very happy. YUM!
I took my friend for dinner at Carson's. Her first time at Carson's. She was impressed and had stated that this was the best meal she has had in a long time. Carson's did not disappoint.
Brought some customers prior to a Bucks game. 12 oz filets around the horn, excellent! I'm about to book another reservation.
The food was just ok. It was nothing special. The best part about the ribs was the sauce. The steak was not tender.
The price did not match the food quality.
The waiter was very good.
Waiter and food were outstanding! Parking was tough but Host went over and above to find us a spot on the street himself! Great way to spend a birthday.
Great service and the steaks were exceptional coming from the 1500 degree broiler. They got us served in time for the Bucks game too!
Everything was great!!
Interesting crowd last night. The physical menu has seemed to change and looks like it should be for an IHOP not a restaurant that serves $60+ steaks. The bar was crowded with people who were def not waiting on a table (there were plenty available) but rather had taken up residence in front of the huge TVs and were set up for a night of beer and TV. I live in a larger city and travel extensively for work. I never care what a restaurant costs, so I know I am different in that way. But I used to have this restaurant on my list of options in Milwaukee, but I think I will take it off. Also both my ribs and filet were dry, and my client ordered said the same of his ribs. Just seems like everything had downgraded since I ate there over a year ago.
The service yesterday was abysmal the food was the driest barbecue ribs and 12 ounce steak ever, clearly along with the two sides potatoes were cold and had been sitting under a lamp drying out. Our soda refills came after we asked for our check! The valet parking person was very pleasant and nice.
Our waiter was excellent. We came from Chicago to take my son who attends Marquette to lunch & had an awesome waiter. Our reservation was for 3 at 12:00 on 2/23. Food was very delicious too!! Will come back!
Always perfect here
We always have a great time at Carson's! Excellent Happy Hour then dinner. The Mediterranean salad is my favorite. The barbecue pork chop is almost enough for two meals! You must ask to be seated in Samantha's section. She takes care of you like no other! What a wonderful addition to the evening.
Ordered Caesar salad w/ blackened salmon w dressing and cheese on the side. It came out w/ chicken. It went back and 10 min later it came out w/ cheese on it. They offered nothing and my guests where more than half way done w/ their meals. It's a shame because I really like Carson's.
Son's 19th birthday. Son very much enjoyed his Delmonico ribeye, recommended by our waiter Taylor, who was efficient, professional and delightful!
The Hostess and Valet Driver were VERY RUDE!! I eat at Carson's often and I've never experienced customer service like this. My waiter was the best that's why he received a gracious tip, however the blonde in the front and Valet driver really had poor customer service. This wasn't my first time eating there but it was definitely my last. Which is very disappointing because the food and drinks were awesome!
Hello Toyette. Thank you for your business and feedback. Mr. Carson has his name and personal direct phone number on every single menu. He is very consumer centric. Please feel free to contact him directly to discuss. 773-310-1000
Everything was absolutely perfect!! The best Key Lime Pie in Milwaukee. The Crab Cakes amazing. I could go on and on. Carsons never disappoint.
Good experience and the wait staff were very pleasant and made the meal plan that much more enjoyable!
Had a great meal. My wife and I had dinner at Carson's on February 15th., before going to a play at the Steimke Theater. Had reservations for 6pm, arrived 15 minutes early and were immediately seated. After looking at menu we decided to split a BBQ sampler of: 1/2 Rack of ribs, 1/4 chicken and 1 pork chop. Added extra side of potato. Meal was delicious, everything done to perfection, and enough food to share. Will go back again to sample other meals on the menu.
Love the food, service, location! One of my favorite spots downtown.
Valentine's Day date, it was our 3rd time and we still
Love it
Glad we got there for the last of the prime rib. This visit was better than the last visit (2019). Something has changed for the better. Big thanks to the manager.
From our booth next to the window... the only music we could hear was the annoying "boom" "boom"of the sub woofer base. Crab cake was the best anywhere. Good barbeque sauce on the slightly fatty beef sandwich..
We arrived significantly late due to unforseen circumstances, the staff could not have been more gracious and accommodated is without rushing. Will be back!
Birthday experience for the wife
We had a wonderful experience. We were in town for a concert and wanted a quieter place to eat a nice meal. The Ambiance was exactly what we were looking for and Jessica made our experience that much better. She was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu items. She took excellent care of us.
Pros: I love this place. Great food, a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere. I have been here twice and will definitely be back again.
Cons: No parking, but they offer valet for $12, expensive. Also I made reservations and I was running behind due to parking and the walk to Carson's was far. I tried to call to let them know I will be in but the phone was busy for over 15 mins. My table was given away. The wait however was not very long and they were attentive to keeping us updated on the wait.
On a scale of one to 10 overall I'll rate Carson's a 9.5.
This was a great location to meet up with my brother before the Bucks game at Fiserv. I would choose this place again
Went there to celebrate a birthday. Had the Greek salad which was excellent. Lots of feta cheese and other toppings Had Greek chicken and it was delicious also. Received a birthday sundae for dessert. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon.
Really great place. Food was amazing... Especially the corn bread. Service was great also. It's all and all a really good place for a night out. It is on the loud side when full as it's all open space so sound gets around.

The Canada Post shipping tool for the Canadian Library Materials Service administered by CULC/CBUC
Canada Post continues to support Canadian libraries by providing reduced postal rates when mailing Library Materials to their users and other libraries.
On January 14, 2019, Canada Post will increase the rates for Library Materials by a weighted average of 5%.
Even with the increase, the rates continue to be substantially lower than Canada Post's most discounted commercial parcel rates. A 1.28-kg package mailed at the Library Materials rate today costs $1.31 to cover sending and returning the materials; this will increaseto $1.38 in January 2019. Without the Library Materials rate, the same service would cost approximately $30.00 if mailed at a post office.
Canada Post does not receive government compensation for this service.Canada Post is committed to continue working with the library community – through the Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC) and the Association pour advancement des sciences et des techniques de la documentation (ASTED) – to ensure their needs are understood and considered in the future
