'May God Be With All Of Us' – Army Combat Photographer Shares Michael's Small Town Damage
October 14, 2018
"My home, the city of southern charm, has been laid to waste. Honestly the pictures do not do the destruction, justice. May God be with all of us."
Those were the words of U.S. Army combat photographer SPC Scott Hagan after seeing the devastation of Hurricane Michael in his hometown of Marianna.
"I am fortunate as an active duty soldier stationed in California, whose career field happens to be combat camera; that I was allowed to come home on Emergency Leave to not only help my family and friends from this monstrosity, but to document this truly historic, disheartening, and immense event," he said.
Some of the news we've seen following Hurricane Michael has centered on Panama City and Mexico Beach. While the devastation there is catastrophic, residents of small towns like Marianna and Blountstown are hurting. They are the little communities that do not want to be forgotten.
"The destruction is hard to describe. It's as if a huge tornado hit the entire county. The majority of trees are down or snapped in half. No one was left untouched, no one. Half the homes in (Jackson County) are in ruins."
"The damage to businesses in my community are just as bad. The hospital, the sheriff station, and even Walmart all are without roofs. Historic downtown is heartbreaking. Monuments and buildings from the late 1800s are no longer standing."

Oct 21, 1972 my wife and I got married in Pensacola. We left for Panama City for our honeymoon and then to Marianna to see the caverns. We loved the town and its quaint nature. On our 40th anniversary we made the trip again in memory and now to see the destruction to both areas is very heartbreaking.
Having been through Ivan in 2004 we survived and the area will rebuild as all will come together to help each other.
God Bless and our prayers go out to everyone.

We just drove on the outskirts of Marianna yesterday, got off onto Hwy 71 to Clarksville and the damage is horrendous. DOT was working as hard as they could to get debris cleared to make through paths for all the help that is needed going and coming into from Marianna through to Bristol, Clarksville is located on Hwy 73 between Altha and Marianna. We carried specific needs to the Travelers Rest Free Will Baptist Church. Those people in Clarksville and Blountstown may not have power for weeks according the REA in that area, grids are completely gone. The 2 truck stops at the exit were opened until 4. We saw cars with tanks of gas strapped across the top for generators and etc. We will be going back at sometime. We saw trees and debris on almost every house or property we drove by. Cotton modules had exploded and cotton was spread all over the place. We Christians need to be faithfully praying for everyone in the hard hit areas from Hurricane Michael. We lived through Ivan, lost pecan trees, two bedrooms demolished by water entering through the eves, but nothing compared to what we saw yesterday. I pray the people will look to God and let him lead. SPC Scott Hagan thank you for asking for emergency leave so you could come and help your family and show the people of Florida the small areas that are hurting. Please tell your superiors thank you!

This breaks my heart. It really does. When I got married in 1971, my husband wanted to go to Marianna for our honeymoon because he'd been working there with a Teledyn crew and wanted me to see how beautiful the place was. We were so young, we'd never been anywhere or seen anything. Even at that young age, the beauty of that small town made me fall in love with it. All the old live oaks, the caves. The people were all so welcoming and made me feel right at home, We stayed a few days and the memories have stayed with me for nearly fifty years now.
We always see the destruction on the coastline after a major hurricane, but rarely get a glimpse of how people inland have been hit. It truly is like a hundred mile wide tornado that takes out everything in its path. Thank you, SPC Scott Hagan. Tell us about it, because the people here in Flomaton, Alabama understand. Ivan almost destroyed us, but 14 years later we've come back.
I didn't see a squirrel for years after Ivan, but they're back in force now. The deer, the turkeys, they were very rare after the storm, but they've recovered too. The trees will never be the same, the ones that survived. But we're still standing. And you good folks will too.
I have no shade trees left, but don't worry about anything else falling on me, The buildings have been replaced or rebuilt and Ivan is just a bad memory. My thoughts and prayers are with you folks. And you will recover from this… you will come back.

The board said in its weekly bulletin obtained by our correspondent on Monday that the items were prohibited during its examinations, warning that candidates who breached the directive would be disallowed from taking the UTME.
The board said, "To ensure that our examinations meet best global practices, the board has prohibited the use of the following items during its exams. They are watches, pens or biros, mobile phones or similar electronic devices, spy reading glasses, calculators, hard disks or similar storage devices, books or any reading material, cameras, recorders and microphones.
"Others are ear pieces, ink or pen readers, smart lenses, smart rings or jewellery, smart buttons, bluetooth devices, key holders, erasers and Automated Teller Machine cards."
JAMB noted that it would continue to strive to eliminate unwholesome practices during its examinations, which necessitated the biometric verification of candidates to curb impersonation as well as the introduction of Closed-Circuit Television cameras to its centres nationwide.
It said, "The search for a reliable assessment model after the traumatic experiences with Paper and Pencil Test hitherto used by the board led to the adoption of the Computer-Based Test. The paper format was jettisoned because it was characterised by different forms of examination malpractices.
"We believe that by offering highly competitive method electronically at approved testing centres, candidates and other stakeholders would continue to benefit from increased access and flexibility for immediate grading among other benefits. The CBT being administered by the board is a dynamic and individualised assessment tool designed in line with global best practices."

With such a hard and durable external shell, no wonder it puts other plastic vacuums to shame.
One of the toughest challenges when using conventional vacuum cleaners is the task of collecting the dust bag and throwing out its contents. Aside from inhaling the collected dust and dirt, washing it can also be stressful. With the Dyson 26 Multi-Floor City Canister Vacuum Cleaner however, the bottom will open up and expel the collected dust and debris with a push of the button with just a push of a button. This eliminates the need to manually detach the canister from the unit and empty out its contents.
Additional accessories
Each Dyson D26 Multi-Floor City Canister Vacuum Cleaner comes with an easy to maneuver wide Articulating hard floor tool and a combination of accessories. An anti-static carbon fiber brushes are also equipped in each unit, wherein the rows of ultra fine brushes made from pure carbon fiber ensure that dusts are collected from any floor surface.
The Concentrated Root Cyclone Technology is a trademark of the Dyson Vacuum cleaners and it ensures that even with its small interior, the unit can still provide a suction power equivalent to what a big Dyson vacuum can produce.
A HEPA filter is installed in each Dyson D26 unit and it benefits households who have asthma and allergies since it is known to effectively trap allergens when air passes through it. Another feature that makes it perfect for small living spaces is that its power cord can reach up to 26.3 feet thus, making it easier to transfer the unit from one room to another, without the need to plug and unplug it from the socket.
Taking the challenge
The Dyson D26 Multi-Floor City Canister Vacuum Cleaner gives every homeowner a job well done even though the size of it suggests otherwise. Those who already own one all agree that the unit can be easily transported and stored away because of its light, sleek and compact design. Despite of its size, its suction power gives it the ability to pick up pet hair and can efficiently clean any floor surface.
Negative comments
Although the vacuum's small size did not compensate its suction power, there were certain sacrifices that did not go unnoticed. A lot of homeowners feel that the short power cord makes it harder to clean around the house, while some think that even though Dyson City is a great vacuum, its power is not enough to clean deep carpets. There are also some who are suggesting that the power controls and switch are designed on the handle itself, instead of being placed on the base.Final Thoughts
Despite the negative comments given by some homeowners, the Dyson D26 Multi-Floor City Canister Vacuum Cleaner is still a great piece of cleaning equipment for small living spaces, due to its lightweight canister, powerful suction and compact design.
The Dyson DC26 performs best on hard wood floors and isn't really suited to deep carpets due to the lack of an adjustable rotating brush on the head, so if you are looking for a vacuum mainly for cleaning deep carpets, then it would be best to opt for a more versatile multi-floor vacuum, such as the Dyson DC25 instead.https://youtube.com/devicesupportWatch this video on YouTube
Dirt Devil Dynamite Bagless Upright with On-Board Tools Review
The wide range of upright vacuums available in the market often makes it hard for many consumers to make a final decision on what they are going to buy. The features offered by different brands make it difficult for one model to stand out above the rest. The Dirt Devil Dynamite Bagless Upright with On-Board Tools however, is one of the most trusted vacuum cleaners by many households.
Read Consumer Reviews on the Dirt Devil Dynamite Bagless Upright
Aside from promising greater suction power, it is also a portable and effective vacuum cleaner that you can get for an affordable price.Features
- Uses Dynapower Technology to combine powerful motor with a revolving brush for effective cleaning
- Allows automatic height adjustment for easier cleaning of any areas
- Features a Click-Lock handle to allow users to adjust the height of the unit
- Light weight
- Installed with a Scatter Guard Nozzle to protect delicate furnishings from scratches
- Equipped with a HEPA filter for cleaner and more breathable air
Offers more than average suction power
One of the features many homeowners look for in a vacuum cleaner is its ability to effectively suck in dirt and debris. The Dirt Devil Dynamite Bagless Upright with On-Board Tools boasts of its more than average suction power with its unique Dynapower technology that joins together two important elements in cleaning: a powerful motor and a revolving brush. By joining these two essential elements together, the Dirt Devil Dynamite can lift and suck in more dirt from indoor floor, carpeted and bare floor surfaces.
Additional features
The Dirt Devil Dynamite also comes with on-board tools like the dusting brush, the crevice tool, as well as the stretch hose which makes cleaning ceilings, stairs, corners, drapes, walls and other above floor areas easier and more efficient. While conventional vacuum cleaners make it hard to reach low areas, the Dirt Devil Dynamite features an automatic height adjustment to allow the machine to work effectively on both low and high areas. The Click-Lock handle, an innovative feature of the vacuum, allows you to adjust its height to as low as 31 inches, to allow efficient use for low and enclosed areas. If you are targeting a high area, you can attach the extension wand since its extended reach also increases the number of available cleaning spots.
Light weight and portable
Vacuum cleaners of different brands often weigh more or less 20 pounds thus, making it hard for many homeowners to lug the unit around while cleaning the house. Since the Dirt Devil Dynamite weighs only 9 pounds, owners will definitely find it more convenient to use and store away. This is especially helpful for those who have back problems and who find the task of vacuum physically tiring.
The machine weights only 9 pounds, significantly lighter than most of the vacuum cleaners in the market, a plus for those who have back problems and find the act of vacuuming physically taxing. With the 30 feet long power cord and the light weight body of the vacuum cleaner, moving from room to room while transporting the appliance is effortless and no longer requires constant plugging and unplugging.
The Scatter Guard Nozzle included in the vacuum cleaner prevents delicate furnishings from being scratched, effectively protecting them from future or further damage. As air passes through the vacuum cleaner, the HEPA filtration system installed in the interior of the vacuum traps the allergens from the air. In effect, the air that comes out from the exhaust is significantly cleaner than when it came in, a benefit that will enjoyed by everyone at home. After cleaning, one will find that the dust container is easy to detach and even easier to empty out. This eliminates the need to handle and clean dirty dust bags.Final Thoughts
The Dirt Devil Dynamite Bagless Upright with On-Board Tools is a small, portable yet powerful vacuum cleaning unit that can offer a lot to homeowners. Because of its unique and effective features, it won the hearts of many homeowners and still continues to make a name in the industry. It's compact, lightweight design and low cost, makes it an ideal choice for anyone on a budget, who is looking for a versatile vacuum cleaner which doesn't skimp on power.Dirt Devil ReactionWatch this video on YouTube

How to Improve the Management of Legal Teams (Part 2 of 3)
By Jim Hassett and Tim Batdorf
In this part of our series, we cover rules #3 through #6 of Paul Dinsmore's "Ten Rules of Team Building" from the AMA Handbook of Project Management (p. 411).
Rule #3: Understand the game
Rule #3 is a hard one for lawyers, because the game is changing and no one is quite sure what the new rules are. In this time of transition, legal team leaders must define the rules of the game for each engagement and make them crystal clear to team members. The rules may vary from one matter to another, even when team membership remains the same. Associates working on a fixed price project must understand that the highest quality must be delivered within a limited number of hours. Where possible, they must also be shown how they will personally benefit from this behavior.
(If your compensation system rewards putting in more hours, and this matter requires putting in fewer hours, you've got a problem. In the short-term, management can address this by adjusting hours on matters managed for efficiency. However, longer-term adjustments to the compensation system may be called for, and changing compensation is never easy.)
In any case, efficient management begins with your personal understanding of the goals of each matter and the players involved; this starts with getting the statement of work right. Then you have to think through the implications of the SOW for each member of your team. And it wouldn't hurt to talk to them about it.
The simple fact is that people work better when they understand the goals of a project.
Rule #4: Evaluate the competition
Evaluating the competition is second nature for litigators. If opposing counsel have a reputation for scorched earth tactics, then litigators will be prepared to react accordingly. But if the other side seems motivated to settle, litigation strategy will be quite different.
But some lawyers who are very good at evaluating the competition are very bad at communicating this knowledge to the rest of the team. Providing legal services efficiently is a team sport, and everyone must be on the same page.
Understanding the competition is also important when a legal team bids for new work. According to the 2019 Law Firms in Transition survey, 93% of lawyers predict price competition will continue to increase in the future. This will lead to some hard decisions about what work is worth bidding on and what work is not. And it all begins with understanding your competition.
Rule #5: Pick your players and adjust your team
In many law firms, assembling a team for a large matter can be an interesting exercise these days, especially if the firm is filled with lawyers who do not have enough billable work to meet their quotas.
In their hearts, lawyers often know which partners and associates are most likely to perform a particular task efficiently, and which ones will take their time. As the pressure to control costs increases, the competition to get efficient people on each team is going up. In the long run, this should lead to larger numbers of more efficient lawyers, but in the short run it can lead to some awkward situations and difficult choices.
In this environment, it has become increasingly important that team leaders pick the best available person for each role, without playing favorites. Trust has also become more critical. Team members must believe that working together efficiently is in their own best interest.
On large teams, it also helps to have a cheerleader or two. They can help counteract the effects of the lawyers who are experts at seeing the glass as half empty and at explaining why every task will take a very long time.
Rule #6: Identify and develop inner group leaders
Great leaders constantly think about training and developing their replacements. Who can cover for you if you're absent? Who can help you motivate and lead the rest of the team? Who will the client trust?
Share your knowledge and spread it around to raise others up to your level. Remember, your goal is to make yourself obsolete.
As Dinsmore put it in his AMA Handbook of Project Management (Fourth Edition, p. 411), "Delegating, mentoring and coaching must become part of your daily habit."
We will discuss Dinsmore's rules of team building #7 through #10 and conclude this series in our next blog post.
This blog series was adapted from the fifth edition of the Legal Project Management Quick Reference Guide, a frequently updated online library of LPM tools and templates.

You don't have to be rich to love McDonald's but you just might get rich!
December 6, 2016
Few brands have what it takes to stir the public's imagination than McDonald's. This time, it's got everybody excited about getting rich and going for the Singapore dream.
After a 5-year hiatus, Monopoly is back with McDonald's!
In a near-recessionary times, the challenge was to get a country excited and make it bigger, better and richer than ever before.
McDonald's is not just about great-tasting, delicious food. It's also about the fun in the moments and also joining other folks in having fun! Or as Keith Reinhard once said, "Fun, food, folks!"
"Every meal brings you closer to winning".
With up to 4 million prizes up for grabs, we believe every Singaporean should have a shot at winning. In fact, we turned this around to stir up a frenzy to pick up more chances of winning.
We started with the iconic Monopoly teasers, done with local flavours, across the island. Tongue-in-cheek but unmistakably McDonald's Monopoly.
This was coupled with a digital teaser to drive that anticipation.
And then we launch by unleashing the prizes – which Singaporean could resist the lure of the 5Cs – from a Citroen car to cash to cruises?
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend sales shot up in the first week of launch.
Within the first month, overall year-on-year sales jumped up as high as 20% – an impressive figure for Singapore's biggest-selling restaurant.
Social chatter also shot up as consumers traded secrets, tips and info about better chances of winning.
But it's not over yet. The Citroen Car and cash prize are yet to be won.
McDonald's have a surprise up its sleeves in its next sequel. Now, that's rich story-telling.

Minister of State for Railways Rajen Gohain said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday last that over 1,600 passengers have died on board trains over the past three years.
The Member of Parliament from Nowgong constituency stated that in all the 1,678 casualties, the bodies of the deceased were handed over to the Government Railway Police (GRP) as per protocol and the families were be provided all possible aid.
In 2006, the Supreme Court had directed All India Institutes of Medical Sciences ( AIIMS) to form a committee to recommend medical amenities to be provided in trains and advised emergency medical care to passengers, directing the provision of oxygen cylinders in all trains. Gohain said that all the recommendations of the committee have been implemented.
Presently, as many as 88 life-saving equipments, medicines and injections are now available on trains and stations, as per the guidelines of the committee. Previously, only a basic first aid box was usually available on railway premises.
According to an official, the available medical kits include delivery kits, laryngoscopes, catheters, syringes, tablets, splints, bandages of various sizes, ointments and even oxygen defibrillators.

Public RMBS and ABS issuance of more than $30 billion in 2017 has already surpassed last year's total volume of $24 billion, which means issuance for the year to date is close to a post-GFC record. One of the enabling factors has been improved sentiment in credit markets since the end of 2016. The surge in supply has been accompanied by growth in mezzanine (mezz) investor participation. This has enabled a number of issuers to attract new investors to their securitisation programs.
Who are the mezz investors?
These are the investors in non-senior tranches. Mezz investors are predominantly asset managers. That's because banks typically don't invest in mezzanine tranches given they must hold more capital against them than senior tranches. The funding-only RMBS do not provide investment opportunities for mezz investors because only the senior tranche of such deals are sold to investors and the issuer retains the junior notes.
Why the increased participation?
Since the GFC they had relatively little investment opportunities in benchmark deals given that Australia's major banks weren't issuing capital-relief RMBS. That changed late last year. ANZ and Commonwealth Bank have broken the drought by pricing capital-relief RMBS over the past year. The combined effect of higher mortgage risk-weights for advanced internal ratings-based accredited banks, the approaching Net Stable Funding Regime and new "unquestionably strong" capital rules means that it is now more attractive for the major banks to issue capital-relief RMBS.
ANZ and Commonwealth Bank's capital-relief RMBS were probably welcomed by some of the mezz investors. They have been quite vocal in conveying their interest in such deals to the major banks. In fact, it was reverse enquiries from investors for Medallion mezzanine notes that facilitated Commonwealth Bank's capital relief RMBS issue. The distribution of mezzanine notes also introduced additional investors into the Medallion program. KangaNews reported that the mezzanine and subordinated tranches of ANZ's Kingfisher Trust 2016-1 transaction were pre-placed prior to opening the books for the top-rated notes.
Post-GFC record
In addition, the deal size of some of the non-major bank and non-authorised deposit-taking institution's (non-ADIs) RMBS this year hit a post-GFC record. Suncorp issued two RMBS worth $2.75 billion this year. According to Commonwealth Bank's Fixed Income Strategy team, this is the largest aggregate volume printed by Suncorp in a given year since 2005.
In the non-ADI sector, Resimac has priced $1.7 billion of prime RMBS so far this year. That is a record for Resimac. Non-ADIs in the prime mortgage space have benefited as the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) implemented measures to restrict riskier lending by ADIs. These bigger RMBS issues have enabled issuers to create opportunities for larger participation by mezz investors.
Deals oversubscribed
But supply itself doesn't create demand. Moving down the capital stack provides investors with relative yield pick-up, especially when spreads are tightening in various parts of the market. The mezz notes of a number of deals in 2017 were well bid, to the point they were oversubscribed and resulted in the notes being priced tighter than initial guidance.
SMHL Series Securitisation Fund 2017-1 and AFG 2017-1 Trust Series 2017-1 RMBS are just a few examples of transactions where the mezzanine tranches were priced inside of initial guidance.
What does the future hold?
The regulatory developments that led ANZ and Commonwealth Bank to market capital-relief deals are here to stay. Putting aside relative spread movements, the current regulatory environment remains conducive for capital-relief RMBS versus funding-only RMBS. If this trend continues, this should enable issuers to attract and maintain a healthy breadth of mezz investors. Moreover, upcoming APS120 is likely to bring some restructuring in the warehouse space that would further support greater mezz investor participation. On the other hand, any potential change to the Banking Act that gives APRA additional power over non-ADI lending could see a negative impact on future non-ADI RMBS volume.
What are the risks to mezz investors?
The rule of averages doesn't really apply to mezz investors as they are exposed to tail risk. Low weighted average seasoning in some recent RMBS could pose risk for mezz investors if rates start to rise from next year or if the housing market undergoes a large correction. New borrowers tend to have less equity built up and therefore are more susceptible to shocks. Additionally, RMBS and ABS arrears rates have been slowly ticking up from their recent low levels. This is not unexpected. The impact from the mining downturn, along with underemployment and low wages growth, continue to impact some borrowers' ability to service their mortgages. Recent ABS data, however, show that the economies of the two mining states – Western Australia and Queensland – are now performing more strongly.

Ever wondered why new year's resolutions don't work?
It's a few weeks into January and I'm willing to make a bet that those of you who had the guts to make new year's resolutions are probably either off track with them by now, or have quit altogether. And the rest of didn't even bother because I mean, what the heck is the point right? Been there. Done that. No thanks. I get it, really I do.
So here are the top 3 reasons why people suck at new year's resolutions and what you can do about it so that they do work.
I see it time and time again. "My new year's resolution is to get in shape." "Mine's to make more money." "Mine's to be more organized."
Then I'm like ok great, how are you going to do that? What's your plan? Where's the breakdown?
People set their very vague, non-specific resolutions and don't have a plan for it. You have to get as detailed as possible. Chunk that baby down to the best of your ability and when you think you're done, chunk it down some more. Start with the goal and work backwards. What exactly, step by step do you have to do in order to get to that goal. Which leads me to…
"Getting in shape" or "making more money" is so vague. Like what the heck does that mean "get in shape"? That could mean so many things. Or "make more money". If you make one dollar more that technically is a success so great job, you win! No just kidding you don't. You lose.
Get specific. It has to be measurable. So "get in shape" needs to turn in to "run 10k in 3 months" or "do 60 consecutive days of a certain workout program" or "get down to a size _______". And then when you come up with a detailed plan like in number 1, you ballin'.
How many of you have ever set a goal or resolution but you just decided to keep a secret. Just between you and yourself. That's fun, isn't it? No it's not, it's a terrible idea. Because what you are doing is actually telling your brain it's not going to work. You're going to fail so when that happens no one will know about it and you will stay safe in your own little bubble where everyone thinks you're perfect. So STOP DOING THAT! I'm not saying you have to announce it on social media…you can if you want, that'd be awesome…but you have to tell someone, your partner, family member, or better yet try to find an accountability partner. Someone who is either working on the same goal (awesome!) or someone who is working on a different goal, but you can work together with and hold each other accountable. Throw in a reward if you accomplish it and a punishment if you don't and you are golden!
Just because it's not January 1st right now doesn't mean you can't set your resolutions or re-set them, so apply the above principals and get to it!

You hear of a football player who also played baseball in college. John Elway and Deon Sanders were examples. What you don't hear that often is a championship hockey player turned race car driver. However, Michael Annett is just that. A former Waterloo Black Hawks 2004 Clark Cup Championship hockey player, Michael Annett was too small to play hockey, so he started racing. He raced in the Xfinity Series and the Truck Series, though he didn't win in either. He did score 7 top 5's and 34 top 10's in six years in the Xfinity Series, and a top 5, and 2 top 10's in the Truck Series, before joining the Sprint Cup in 2014, for Tommy Baldwin Racing.
In 2014, Annett's first season in the Sprint Cup, Annett and Tommy Baldwin Racing did not have much success. In 36 starts, he didn't even score a top 10, and only led 5 laps, while driving the Pilot/Flying J Chevy SS. During that season, two members of his over the wall the pit crew wore each part of this two piece suit. The jacket has some light wear on it. The pants have some wear on the cuffs.The right chest has a SPRINT CUP SERIES logo, and a GOODYEAR logo embroidered into it.The left chest has Chevy Bowtie, that was just recently used in NASCAR, SUNOCO, and TOMMY BALDWIN RACING logos embroidered into it.The front of the jacket has a large PILOT logo embroidered into it.The warranty tag is located under the zipper, and has the name SIMMONS written into it in blue Sharpie.
The right shoulder has a PILOT logo on the epaulet, and an IMPACT! logo is present as well.The right sleeve has an IMPACT logo, and logos for ALLSTATE PETERBUILT, MULTIPRENS USA INC., and POWERLIFT embroidered into it. PILOT television logos are present at the end of the sleeves. The left shoulder is identical to the right shoulder.With the addition of a NASCAR logo, the left sleeve is nearly identical to the right sleeve. The back of the jacket shows some light wear.The back of the neck has the car #7, and PILOTFLYINGJ.COM, and MICHAELANNETT, with Twitter and Facebook logos embroidered into it.The back logo is a FLYING J logo, which is embroidered into the suit, and shows some wear on it.The set comes with a set of pants. The pants were issued to a crew member named HOUSTON. They show some wear, but are in good condition, aside from the cuffs. The warranty tag is in the back of the waist, and has the name HOUSTON written in Sharpie on it. The right leg has a FLYING J logo embroidered into it in television position.The right cuff has some slight wear on it, and the cuffs have elastic loops on them. The left leg has a design identical to the right leg.The left cuff shows a little more wear than the right cuff. The dangers pit crews face while working on cars are very real, and equipment like this can save the lives of crew members involved in fire-related accidents.
Editor's note: Next week, I will be away, visiting my parents in Tuscon, Arizona. I'm taking Amtrak down there, and flying home. This will mark the first time in 11 years I have been on an airplane, and I'm nervous. As for The Driver Suit Blog, I will have two Friday Feature articles ready to go, as well as two Throwback Thursday articles. The tracker, and paint scheme grades will wait until I get home. Also, I will have something special planned during the trip, which I think you all will enjoy! See you then!

"Just having an older team," said Oak Grove head coach Drew Causey, when asked what's different about this year's group of Warriors. "You go back a couple years ago, a lot of these guys were sophomores when they were starting for us. To learn how to play, to learn how to compete, to learn how to believe in each other. I think a lot of that has to do with it. We've played some good football this year."

Santorini is probably one of the most popular destination wedding locations. The unique view of the caldera, the beautiful sunsets, the white houses hanging from the cliffs, the famous churches with the blue domes -those are the things that make a wedding in Santorini quite memorable and the wedding pictures amazing. I completely understand why so many people choose Santorini for their destination wedding. But what about the cost of all that?
As mentioned in the previous post, the first and most important step is to set up a budget for your wedding. One important detail to remember is that the more guests you are having, the bigger your budget should be, so plan wisely. The good news are that Santorini is considered to be a rather economical choice for having a wedding, in comparison to other countries, as I've been informed from a number of different couples I had the pleasure to work with. Having that in mind, and wishing to help couples out there, I decided to write an article about how much does a wedding cost in Santorini. Of course, those will be just rough estimations, but I hope they will be enough to give you an idea of how much you should set aside for your dream day.
So, where to begin? Well, I would strongly recommend hiring a wedding planner to help you plan everything in Santorini. The main reason is that most venues are closed during winter and most vendors are away on vacation during that, which means that even if you visit the island, for example, in February, you won't be able to see the venues and meet the providers. Your wedding planner, on the other hand, has been to the various wedding venues of the island, and worked with the service providers of the island, and will be able to make the better suggestions for you. The cost of a wedding planner varies, but an average fee can be anywhere between 1.000 euro -2.000 euro. Of course, you can find a planner that will ask for less than that, and a planner who will ask for more.
The price of a wedding venue depends on the venue itself and whether you wish to book the location for a ceremony-only or a ceremony and reception. An average rental fee for a ceremony-only starts from around 400 euro with a rental fee duration of 1 hour or 1,5 hours. Keep in mind the time limitations of each venue, when booking just the ceremony, as some venues only allow morning and early afternoon reservations for a ceremony-only event. For a ceremony and reception, the prices start from around 2.000 euro and get up to 2.800 euro or more, this not including food and drinks, as those will be at an extra cost. Another option for a wedding reception is having it at a restaurant, as some of them have special private or semi-private halls for such purposes, which they offer with little or no rental fee, depending on the number of guests attending. This option is perfect for those, who wish to save some money on rental fees.
When having a reception, there is always food and drinks for you and your guests… obviously! This is probably the most expensive part of the wedding. In Santorini the average price for a food and drinks will be around 150 – 200 euro per person. It can be less and it can be more. Some factors that can influence the price are your food choices, for example fish is more expensive than meat, so this will definitely increase the cost of your wedding should you decide to serve salmon to your guests. Another factor would be the choice between buffet and sit-down menu; at most venues sit-down menus are less expensive than buffet menus, whereas when having a catering it will be more expensive to have a sit-down menu. When it comes to drinks, you will usually have a number of different open-bars to choose from. Naturally, the bigger the variety of the drinks included in the open-bar, the higher the price. How to better choose a menu and an open-bar for your wedding reception and party will be discussed in a different article in the near future.
You should also not forget about wedding photography and wedding videography, the prices for which range between 2.500 euro and 3.500 euro for a full day, always depending on the professional that you will choose. The price increases if you want to have two or more photographers and videographers on the day of your wedding, as well as if you plan to have a pre-wedding or an after-day photoshoot and/or videoshoot. It is good to discuss the prices with the chosen wedding photographer and wedding videographer. Don't forget to look at each photographer's and videographer's portfolio before making any down payments.
There are also the extra services that you should calculate. One really important extra service that you definitely should include in your wedding budget is the transportation for the guests. Santorini, even though small, is a tricky island and people get lost easily. Moreover, it is extremely hard to find parking spots, so even if your the guests arrive with their rented cars at the wedding location, there is no guarantee that they will find where to leave the cars. Buses for your guests are a necessary expense if you plan to have your destination wedding in Santorini. The final cost of that depends on the number of guests you will be having, how many buses and what types will be required, and the times of the transfers; after midnight transfers are more expensive, as well as transfers with multiple pickup and dropdown points. The minimum you should start with is 300 euro for a 20 seat Mercedes Sprinter mini-bus to take you guests to and from the wedding venue.
There are also other extra services, which should be decided after all the other necessary services have been calculated. Those services are live music (prices starting from 300 – 400 euro), fireworks (starting price around 500 euro), plate smashing (calculate 1 – 1.5 euro per plate), Greek traditional dancers (around 400-500 euro for 1 hour) etc. It would be recommended setting a budget for such extra services, so you could have a better idea of what you can afford. Setting aside at least 1.500 euro for the entertainment and beauticians should be a good start. Set a priority list to better choose which extra services you need the most.
In case you will be having a civil ceremony, there will be all the legal fees which you should keep in mind. Along with the Apostille stamps, document translations, the fees required for the wedding in Santorini, the total should be around 500 euro. The Apostille stamp price differs from country to country, but from the information I have collected so far, it is between 30 - 50 euro in most countries.
Last, but not least, major influence on your wedding budget will be the decorations. There are so many things to consider: flower types, flower colors, floral composition sizes, non-floral decorations as the invitations, the menus, the tablecloths, the napkins, chair decorations, candles, sweet table, wish table, you name it! All those things affect the final cost of your wedding. It is really hard to tell how much the decorations will cost, as this is totally up to you. Still, you can at least know what the minimum required cost will be. The bridal bouquets start from around 80 euro, the floral centerpieces start from around 100 euro. The decorations for the gazebo start approximately from 500 euro, and you can always use the ceremony decorations at the reception to cut down costs. As for the non-floral decorations, again, it is almost impossible to guess the cost. Again, as with the extra services, I would suggest having a separate budget for the decorations, for example set 2.000 euro which will be only for the decorative items and flowers. This way, you will know your limit and will make better decisions.
And of course, the wedding cake! Almost forgot about that. As with everything else, the cost of the wedding cake has to do with the number of guests and the design. If you want to calculate the price per person, it will be at approximately at 4 euro per person, always having in mind a simple white cake. The price will also be affected by the design of the cake and the decoration of the cake. If you want to have edible flowers on the cake, for example, the final result might end up quite pricy, but of course worth it!!
Have an "emergency budget"! What's that? Well, that is term that I use to call a separate sum, set by you of course, which will cover any unexpected expenses that might occur. It can be 500 euro, 1000 euro, 1.000.000 euro, your choice. From my experience, if your "emergency budget" is equal to the 10% of the main budget, you should be all right.
Ok, the above are just general information, and most of you are probably angry that you still don't have a clear idea of how much the wedding will cost. You will have to understand, that the final price purely depends on your wishes and desires. But to be fair, I will give you a more practical example. For a good, stylish but minimal wedding for 50 persons, your budget should be around 25.000 – 30.000 euro. Those numbers are for an all-inclusive wedding: wedding photography, wedding videography, venue fee, food and drinks for everyone, transportation for the guests, transportation for the bride and groom, beautiful decorations for the ceremony and reception, some sort of simple but nice entertainment, wedding cake and legal fees. The wedding dress, suite, accommodation and flights should be calculated extra.
As always, I hope the above information will be helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or message me. I wish you a good day or a good night, depending at which part of the world you are!

The anti-depressing research of antidepressants
Antidepressants are an important class of drugs in modern medicine, providing people with relief from the crippling effects of depression.
Recently, research has suggested that some of these drugs may also provide benefits to people suffering from Parkinson's disease. But by saying this we are not talking about the depression that can sometimes be associated with this condition.
This new research suggests anti-depressants are actual providing neuroprotective benefits.
In today's post we will discuss depression and its treatment, outline the recent research, and look at whether antidepressants could be useful for people with Parkinson's disease.
Source: NatureWorldNews
It is estimated that 30 to 40% of people with Parkinson's disease will suffer from some form of depression during the course of the condition, with 17% demonstrating major depression and 22% having minor depression (Click here to read more on this).
This is a very important issue for the Parkinson's community.
Depression in Parkinson's disease is associated with a variety of poor outcomes not only for the individuals, but also for their families/carers. These outcomes can include greater disability, less ability to care for oneself, faster disease progression, reduced cognitive performance, reduced adherence to treatment, worsening quality of life, and increased mortality. All of which causes higher levels of caregiver distress for those supporting the affected individual (Click here to read more about the impact of depression in early Parkinson's).
What is depression?
Wikipedia defines depression as a "state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behaviour, feelings, and sense of well-being" (Source). It is a common mental state that causes people to experience loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, and poor concentration.
Importantly, depression can vary significantly in severity, from simply causing a sense of melancholy to confining people to their beds.

Dementia with Lewy Bodies: New recommendations
Last year – two years after actor Robin Williams died – his wife Susan Schneider Williams wrote an essay entitled The terrorist inside my husband's head, published in the journal Neurology.
It is a heartfelt/heartbreaking insight into the actor's final years. It also highlights the plight of many who are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but experience an array of additional symptoms that leave them feeling that something else is actually wrong.
Today's post is all about Dementia with Lewy bodies (or DLB). In particular, we will review the latest refinements and recommendations of the Dementia with Lewy Bodies Consortium, regarding the clinical and pathologic diagnosis of DLB.
Robin Williams. Source: Quotesgram
On the 28th May of 2014, the actor Robin Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
At the time, he had a slight tremor in his left hand, a slow shuffling gait and mask-like face – some of the classical features of Parkinson's disease.
According to his wife, the diagnosis gave the symptoms Robin had been experiencing a name. And this brought her a sense of relief and comfort. Now they could do something about the problem. Better to know what you are dealing with rather than be left unsure and asking questions.
But Mr Williams sensed that something else was wrong, and he was left unsure and asking questions. While filming the movie Night at the Museum 3, Williams experienced panic attacks and regularly forgot his lines. He kept asking the doctors "Do I have Alzheimer's? Dementia? Am I schizophrenic?"
Williams took his own life on the 11th August 2014, and the world mourned the tragic loss of a uniquely talented performer.

When the autopsy report came back from the coroner, however, it indicated that the actor had been misdiagnosed.
He didn't have Parkinson's disease.
What he actually had was Dementia with Lewy bodies (or DLB).

North Korea Launches Another Ballistic Missile
It's becoming a weekend tradition.
Almost exactly one week after the latest ballistic missile test launch by Pyongyang last Sunday, and two weeks after a similar launch the weekend prior, North Korea has fired its latest unidentified ballistic missile early on Monday, South Korea's military said according to Yonhap News. According to NBC, the North Korean missile flew for 6 miles after launch and landed in the Sea of Japan.
The launch will be the 12th missile Pyongyang has fired this year (according to the WSJ, and 9th according to Bloomberg, which count launch "errors" differently).
North Korea test-fired a new mid-to-long-range rocket, which it calls the
Hwasong-12, on May 14, 2017
The unidentified missile was fired from near the North Korean coastal city of Wonsan, Seoul's Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) said. The missile flew in a easterly direction, sources said.
The launch was immediately reported to President Moon Jae-in, who called a meeting of the National Security Council at 7:30 a.m. (2230 GMT Sunday), the South Korean office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement, according to Reuters.
While there was little initial information, the North Korean projectile may fall into waters of Japan's exclusive economic zone, or EEZ, according to Japan's public broadcaster NHK which cited the Japanese government.
NHK also adds that the Defense Ministry is analyzing details such as projectile path, and added that the foreign ministry will – again – protest to North Korea using diplomatic channels. Prime Minister's office collecting information in task office from related agencies and heighten alert.
There has been no official response from the White House yet, altough we expect the token "the White House is aware of the launch" will be fortcoming momentarily.
Trump, who has said all options are on the table to deal with Kim's regime, has repeatedly sought more help from China to rein in its neighbor and ally. Acting Assistant Secretary of State Susan Thornton on Friday acknowledged China's efforts such as banning North Korean coal imports and tightening border controls, while adding that "they clearly have to do more." Clearly, because on Friday Yonhap reported that North Korea's grain imports from China showed a more than fivefold surge last month from a year ago.
At least North Korea has so far this year refrained from conducting a nuclear test, something which even Beijing has said would be a 'red line."
Meanwhile, as reported yesterday, a third US aircraft carrier, the USS Nimitz is now making its way to the Korean Peninsula where it will join the Carl Vinson and Ronald Reagan, ahead of what many anticipate could be a "decapitation" attack on the North Korean regime.

AID welcomes SC's decision to decriminalize sex between consenting adults.
AID welcomes India's Supreme Court decision to strike down Section 377 and decriminalize sex between consenting adults.
The Supreme Court has said: "The first step on the long path to acceptance of the diversity and variegated hues that nature has created has to be taken now by vanquishing the enemies of prejudice and injustice and undoing the wrongs done so as to make way for a progressive and inclusive realisation of social and economic rights embracing all and to begin a dialogue for ensuring equal rights and opportunities for the ―less than equal sections of the society."
We would like to acknowledge the work of hundreds of activists who have been fighting for gender justice and equality for LGBTQIA+ community in the face of tremendous exclusion, hate and violence. This is a beginning step in rolling back the unjust socio-political arrangements to marginalize members of the community. We especially acknowledge the struggle for equality of transgender communities all over India whose lives are marked by social exclusion.
While many have led the charge vociferously, many others have suffered and worked silently to bring about a change in the collective conscience. Regardless of where we stand on the spectrum of gender and sexuality, we have to work towards attaining equal liberties, right to marry and adopt, right to mental and physical health, right to a career and education for all. We hope that when the judiciary has given this historic judgement, the legislature will continue to progress towards social justice by enacting anti-discrimination laws.
We are also heartened to read in the judgement, "Majoritarian views and popular morality cannot dictate constitutional rights" which also includes the protection of minority rights in face of popular majoritarian opinion.

The Kreepy Krauly
In 1974, Ferdinand Chauvier from Springs, South Africa, invented the swimming pool cleaning machine. The original machines were constructed from wood and rubber tubing, which were melted together on a kitchen stove. Ferdinand's son, Danny, took these models out to clients, and most were reluctant to part with them once they had been demonstrated in their pool.
By 1978, a great number of cleaners had been sold to cover the costs of plastic injection moulding, and the first Kreepy Krauly, as we know it today, was introduced. The Kreepy Krauly collects dirt from the bottom of the pool automatically as it creeps and crawls its way around.
