Tramet Seat
TRAMET has a simple, neutral design that dilutes into natural settings as well as urban contexts. Its main features focus on three aspects: comfort and adaptability to permit unconventional uses, excellent quality and versatile design. This bench is made from five pinewood planks treated for outdoor exposure, with laminated metal fixtures. This stable bench requires low maintenance, and thus has a long lifecycle. Initially designed as a continuous bench, it has evolved to include an optional backrest, individual stool and table options as complementary elements.
- Neutral design that allow it to blend into natural spaces as well as urban and commercial areas easily
- Seat, Bench, Stool, Table provide scope to vary usage
- The Tramet collection has a real and apparent robustness and sturdy feel
- Surface mount installation. Optionally, benches may be installed free standing
- FSC® certified timber responsibly sourced from well managed forests (FSC® C133609)
Ethical Risk Index
This Radar diagram illustrates the level of ethical risk associated with a specific stone. Ethical risk is plotted against the 10 ten measures of the ERI, with each value drawn from reports produced by independent ethical auditors, engaged by Marshalls to provide non-biased and honest reporting into levels of risk in that supply chain.
Each of the 10 measure is designed to recognise different and discrete sources of ethical risk. This produces a bespoke, fit for purpose framework designed specifically for the requirements of the stone industry. The radar diagram itself also compares the Marshalls supply chain to the wider industry in that stone, giving users a working comparison of Marshalls supply chain to the industry average, in the opinion of the auditor.

I live in Florida and had to attend my Mom's funeral in Chicago Illinois. I called Buds Flowers and placed my order for a Sympathy arrangement with Martha. She was very pleasant, helpful and patient with me. She worked with me over the phone to visualize the type of arrangement I wanted. Their website had a heart-shaped arrangement but the flowers and colors were not what I wanted. Martha worked with me to explain the type of flowers and colors they could provide and they guaranteed that the flower arrangement would arrive on time. Thank you Martha for delivering such a beautiful arrangement, I couldn't of chosen a better arrangement had I been there in person. Excellent job !!! My sincere thanks, Marguerite
Sam E. Shelfo
Great floral shop with great staff and service!!!
LaNier Echols
My uncle passed and I made a last minute call to Buds to have an arrangement sent to the funeral home. I called Sunday night and he worked with me to get the flowers sent first thing in on Monday morning. During a very emotional time they were kind and professional. Thank you so much!
Jose Guzman
Martha was amazing she really put effort into the message I was trying to convey to my wife. Amazing place, amazing moments captured by a special place in time made possible by Buds Flowers.

Brand New Genuine Ford Driveshaft Wheel Hub Retaining Bolt
Replace your worn Driveshaft retaining bolt with a brand new Genuine Ford part that is tailor made to fit your vehicle.
These bolts are common to bend when removing a seized drive shaft. It is good practice to replace bolts when changing parts, especially brake and drive-train bolts, we recommend driveshaft bolts being one of them
You'll notice the difference in quality and ease of fitting with Genuine Ford Parts compared to some aftermarket parts.
Why replace with lower quality aftermarket parts, which can wear out in much less than half the time of genuine parts, when you can have the quality original parts that were designed for the car by the manufacturer as it left the factory.
Fits: Ford Focus C Max
Please check and compare your existing part before ordering, if in doubt, send us a message and we can check

American crackdown on opioids
The United States Senate has overwhelmingly approved a string of bills aimed at fighting head-on America's opioid epidemic.
The far-reaching legislative package had bipartisan support and was passed 99-1.
Republican Senator Mike Lee from Utah was the only one to vote against it.
The House of Representatives passed similar legislation in June, with both houses of Congress now taking direct aim at the opioid crisis.
The Senate's Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018 directs funding to federal agencies to establish or expand programs dealing with prevention, treatment and recovery.
The 70 bills in the package include the Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act 'STOP' Act, which was endorsed by President Donald Trump. It sets up a framework to stop shipments of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, from entering the States.
Other bills include requiring the Food and Drug Administration to give prescription opioid pills in smaller quantities, and funding to the National Institutes of Health to develop of non-addictive painkillers.
Opioid overdose deaths in America in 2017 is estimated at 72,000.

"No one wants to be the first one in the pool" is a truism regularly bandied about the venture funded startup circles. That's because — for companies that choose that equity based financing route — landing that first check can be the most critical component of fundraising. But which venture capital firm or Angel is truly the most likely to be that "first money in" for your company? That's what TechCrunch is seeking to answer with The TechCrunch List.Read More
Category: investors
For startups, Portland Seed Fund closing is a very good thing
In some industries, the idea of "closing" can be the worst possible outcome. But in the world of startups, closing is often a very good thing. And the latest news from the Portland Seed Fund is no different. The Portland Business Journal just revealed that PSF has just closed their third fund to the tune of $13.9 million.
If only there were a Twitter list of venture capital folks…
Said someone, probably. And thanks to local investor and startup accelerator director Dylan Boyd, there is. It may be incomplete, but it's likely far better than any list you've got going currently. Nearly 2000 folks and firms in the venture capital industry. All talking about what they had for lunch. And probably some VC stuff too.
Both Cascade Angels and XXcelerate Fund XXcelerator open applications for startups
If you're a startup that's looking for some support, there are a couple of opportunities to apply for that sort of assistance. Cascade Angels is currently accepting applications for early stage startups seeking funding. And XXcelerate Fund is accepting applications for the next round of its XXcelerator program for women founded companies.
A Portland founder's perspective on venture capital and its effects on companies
In the startup world, there are some prevailing assumptions about venture capital and building companies. But just because those assumptions are prevailing doesn't mean they're correct. That's why I always like resources that help demystify the world of venture capital and its impact on companies. Like Venture Deals by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson.
Who are the most active venture capital groups (VCs) investing in Oregon?
Over the past ten years, we've seen a change in venture capital in Oregon. Previously dominant VCs have stopped investing or become less active while a series of new players have entered the market. And outside investment—folks from other states who have invested in Oregon companies—has definitely seen an upswing. But who are the new leaders in VC in Oregon startups—and are they local? PitchBook crunched some numbers for us.
A little startup homework over the weekend: Bend Venture Conference opens applications
Every October, any number of investors descend upon Bend to take part in the largest cash prize startup competition in the Pacific Northwest, the Bend Venture Conference. It's arguably the most valuable investor gathering in the state. But you know what? It's only truly valuable if there are awesome startups there. That's where you come in.
Looking for early stage funding? Look to Cascade Angels
While Oregon still has a ways to go in terms of building a self sustaining startup ecosystem, any number of folks have been doing an impressive job of building up our early stage funding resources throughout the state. And one of those groups of early stage investors, Cascade Angels, is looking for some more companies in which to invest.
Growing local: Coast to Crest Fund established to provide seed funding for Lane County
While raising capital is never easy, it's a lot more difficult when you don't have any local resources on which to lean. That's what a couple of Eugene entrepreneurs are hoping to fix with the Coast to Crest Fund, a new $3 million seed fund focused on Lane County startups.
Continuing the conversation about early stage investment in the Portland startup community
Last week, I shared a post written by a Portland founder, recounting his experience while working to raise early stage capital, here in Portland. The post immediately sparked a conversation among Portland founders. And soon, Portland investors joined the conversation, as well. Read More

Time's Running Out! Sign the PBA Petition Today.
Posted by thelamp on October 26, 2006
In less than two weeks, on Nov. 8, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments supporting and opposing the federal ban on partial birth abortions. Then the nine justices will decide once and for all if the 2003 federal law banning partial-birth abortion is constitutional.
Click here to sign the CMC petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Partial-birth abortion is nothing more than the torture and murder of innocent babies. The Center for Moral Clarity wants to let the court know how strongly Americans oppose this procedure. Congress enacted the ban, and the President of the United States signed it into law. Now is the time for all of God's people to make their voices heard.
This case is about public policy, and which branch of government is charged with crafting that policy for the nation. The Center for Moral Clarity firmly believes that American citizens, through their elected representatives in Congress, are the rightful vessels of power to determine public policy decisions. Part of CMC's mission is to be a voice for Christians on such matters. That's why CMC submitted a friend of the court brief supporting the ban. Here is an excerpt from that brief:
The American system of government is dependent upon the proper role of its branches. The Legislative body is the policy-making body, making difficult policy decisions for the country after extensive deliberation, debate, and analysis in representing the people. As the Founders of this country and centuries of American jurisprudence attest, the Legislature is in a much better position to serve this role than the Courts. In fact, when a court oversteps into policymaking, it directly restricts the liberty and freedom of The People and their representative body – Congress.
Partial-birth abortion is a deep public policy issue involving many complex issues of life and death, medicine, psychology, societal impacts, and increased callousness, among many other concerns. Congress can properly and fully consider such concerns, in public and through the exchange of ideas. It is their role.

The never-ending nightmare of Dictator Don continues. It is as if every norm of decency and ethics has been cast away to make room for the daily scourge of jaw-dropping outrage and the soulless satisfaction of greed and power lust. Lord of the Flies, America 2019, is rampant.
As reported on this site many times, we are now at the height of Trump's megalomaniacal outreach. It seems that nothing can stop him. He stomps through all restraint with abandon and a vicious smirk. The Mueller report lies buried in an avalanche of manufactured legal confusion. Once-respected public servants are gasping for air as the Criminal-in-Chief shoots at them like fish in a barrel, backed by his vituperative Gestapo Cyber Warriors. Virtually all Republicans in Congress have long since sold their souls for thirty pieces of political silver. And the US Justice Department, once revered throughout the world, is being twisted to the self-serving will of the Chief Executive, to attack his enemies, protect his friends, and subverted to cover up his corruption.
This sorry state of affairs, marked by Trump's ability to steamroll over all opposition, is about to shift as of June 1. The combined transit of Jupiter and Pluto in aspect to Trump's Sun (22Gemini55) is just passing (March 6 through May 10), and with it the peak of his unhindered megalomaniacal power. Unfortunately, Jupiter will continue to support him with some success through May 31, as it transits across his Moon and South Node, likely continuing the overly optimistic recklessness. In addition, Pluto will continue its quincunx to Trump's Sun through May 26, extending the intense power struggle he is currently waging against all perceived enemies.
But come June, this Jupiter protection that has been quite strong since mid-February, will come to an end, with only a short repeat during the second half of October. We will move into an entirely new chapter of the Trump regime. This shift is marked by the movement of his progressed Moon crossing his Ascendant (29Leo55), pointing to a new chapter and possibly some significant travel.
Even more compelling, however, will be the changes that begin around mid-June. At this time we begin a protracted Uranus station sesquiquadrate Trump's Moon (21Sagitarius12), triggering the natal opposition, and thus heralding a time of unilateral action by Trump, as well as significant agitation. The same Uranus station will be semisquare to the US Mars (21Gemini23), pointing to aggressive, possibly military action by the country. Furthermore this Uranus station will be square to the US North Node (6Aquarius36), bringing the agitation and upset directly into the US relationships with other nations. The time frame for these aspects is June 14 to September 5. Also supporting the concern over possible military action around this time is the Pluto transit quincunx US Mars from June 24 to August 5.
It seems quite likely that whatever all of this Mars action represents for the country, it does not go well for trigger-happy Trump. By late July, the Saturn station begins to take hold, bringing a long, slow station sesquiquadrate Trump's Ascendant (29Leo55) from July 29 to October 23. This aspect points to frustrations and restrictions and possibly some health issues. Moreover, the same Saturn station will oppose Venus in the Trump/US composite chart (14Cancer25), pointing to a severe loss of popularity and a general strain in that relationship.
And finally, the same Saturn station (7/29 to 10/23) will be square to the US natal Saturn (14Libra48), implying humiliation and a loss of perceived power for the US on the world stage during the exact same period. This will be further exacerbated by the US progressed Moon square to natal Saturn from August 15 through September 15, pointing to some significant loss and grieving as a national story, possibly resulting from the military escapades indicated during the summer or potentially from a climate-related disaster.
As mentioned above, transiting Jupiter will once again benefit Trump from October 14 to October 29, 2019, so perhaps he will be able to briefly pull a rabbit out of the hat, despite the nasty mess he made in the summer. But be assured that 2020 will be a torturous year for him, with a few brief exceptions. As they say, the chickens may finally be coming home to roost. Much more on this at a later date.

text: Botswana's economy is projected to expand at a faster pace this year compared to last year as the mining sector benefits from a recovery in the global economy, Finance Minister Kenneth Matambo said on Monday, Reuters reported. Presenting the 2018 budget to parliament, Matambo said GDP growth was projected at 5.3% in 2018 from an estimated 4.7% expansion in 2017. Matambo said Botswana's budget deficit was projected to widen to 3.59 billion pula ($372 million) or 1.8% of GDP in the 2018/19 fiscal year from an estimated deficit of 2.42 billion pula or 1.3% of GDP in the prior year. The country's fiscal year runs from April to March. "Although the economy is expected to improve in performance, our fiscal position remains tight and government will continue to manage expenditure," Matambo said. "Government sees the expected deficit to be temporal and will therefore be financed by a combination of drawing down on existing loans and cash reserves."

Do you require a solicitor to help you claim for a criminal injury following a criminal attack? If so then contact PSR Solicitors, we can help you.
If you have been injured in the process of a crime being committed against you or another person, then you should be entitled to compensation under the criminal injury compensation award scheme (CICA).
Whether you have been injured in a mugging, knocked over by a shoplifter or assaulted and abused, we know how difficult it can be to cope on your own. The injury itself will be causing you pain and suffering but it can also place limitations on your lifestyle.
Our specialist criminal injury solicitors can help you with claiming for your injury and getting your life back on track. Pursuing criminal injury compensation is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice. Trust us to help you.
About Criminal Injury Compensation Claims
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) was established in 1964 with the aim of compensating people injured through a criminal act such as assault. This is because more often than not the assailant cannot be traced or even if they are arrested and convicted, they may not have money or any form of insurance which would allow solicitors to pursue them direct.
The scheme offers set tariff awards for injuries which are not negotiable. Most victims of such crime will qualify for an award, some however will not. For example the matter must be reported to the police within 24 hours or else a claim cannot be pursued. Also if you have a criminal record then this can affect the award.
Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of criminal injury compensation claims:
- Burglary
- Assault
- Sexual Assault
- Stolen Car Accidents
If you are looking to claim compensation for a criminal injury and you want free advice from a fully qualified solicitor then please contact us now. Using one of our specialist Criminal Injury Compensation Solicitors ensures that you have a better chance of winning your claim and receiving all of the compensation and help that you are entitled to all on a No Win No Fee basis.

Ways of Creating Environmental Awareness and Promoting Sustainability
Introduction The cost of environmental degradation is dawning to most of us if not everyone. It is incredibly difficult to believe that there was an age when the earth was all serene covered with immeasurable resources.Every place, even in third world countries, man scavenging activities seem to dominate. In the West more land is cleared to erect skyscrapers or industrial plants, in the Middle East there is no much of vegetation and what is left in most countries lies in desolate due war.And in Africa, which is a green continent despite having the largest desert, Sahara has not been spared either, when one sees a tree, he/she sees a charcoal or firewood. Therefore, there is a dire need to create environmental awareness on the importance of
protecting our environment and come up with alternative forms of energy.
While there seem to be national and international efforts expressed through various climate summits, we must acknowledge, it is the responsibility of every citizen to use environmental resources with care and protect it from responsible behavior. We only have one earth and if we destroy, we will pay for it dearly.
Man has greatly degraded the environment through;· The unquenchable quest for industrialization and deforestation; the growth of industries has been a positive step towards economic growth, however, we cannot ignore its cost. The more we made new automobiles, nuclear plants, war equipment, roads, house, companies, town, and cities, farmed, ranched, mined and went to war among other activities, the more we destroyed the natural land. We used every resource we came across without much consideration of the future generation.But how can we create Environmental Awareness and promote Sustainability?The increasing rates of scarcity in fuel resources and the depletion of natural resources have awakened us from our slumber. And governments are using every opportunity to create environmental awareness and promote alternative forms of energy.
For instance;· People are being taught in school; the government is doing everything it can to make sure that little children learn the importance of using resources responsibly. This aims at reducing mismanagement of nonrenewable resources. · Development of organizations to create awareness and regulate environment: NGOs that have tasked themselves with educating people and advocating for the sustainable use of resources have emerged. These organizations dedicate their efforts in showing the devastating effects of environmental degradation and come up with solutions on how to care for the environment. Funds should be set aside to support these organizations that are advocating for renewable energy.Also,
the government has also created awareness through their bodies, which have authority to impose laws, regulation, charges, and fines in case of an
infringement. Government organizations through their websites, media, and resources lay down rules to the public and educate them on the importance of advocating for alternative energy that is renewable and cost-effective.·
Spearheading of sustainable development concept; today many organizations have adopted go green, recycle and reuse strategies in their
strategies and are encouraging the public to adopt them. Moreover, we are seeing a rise in the use of power efficient tools and machines or alternative energy such as adoption of solar energy, electric car, and fewer pollutant fuels.· Dedicate resources to scientists and research and give public recognition; the government can create environmental awareness by publically supporting
technological researchers aimed at the development of renewable energy. And when a discovery is made it should be made publically and be recognized as a merit to national development. Conclusion
Thus, to sustainably secure the future of the generation to come, we need to come up with innovative alternative forms of energy that are renewable and keep on advocating for environmental awareness.

Successful Betta Livida Spawn
Well it seems that given time, and daily feedings of mosquito larvae, my breeding pair of Betta livida have finally gave me a spawn. As of right now, the male is busy tending to a small nest of eggs at the back of the tank, and I'm hopeful that this will result in some fry.
This now means I've successfully bred all described species of this complex, and several undescribed species. Unfortunately, due to my ongoing issues with velvet, I haven't been as successful at raising large numbers of fry. My goal for 2015 is to get some of these rarer species beyond just the initial F1 generation. This will mean I have to figure out what is causing the periodic outbreaks of velvet in my tanks, and fixing the issue. Something that has eluded me thus far.

I have bred wild B. brownourum in a pH of 8.0! The fry were raised in this pH and I have no issues with velvet. I think the emphasis on low pH is not a rule for keeping or breeding. Low conductivity or carbonate hardness, yes, needs to be low, but not pH. Maybe velvet thrives in lower pH? Try raising pH, see what happens (if you have not already).
20/1/2015 08:00:25 am
I do think some species from this complex are less fussy when it comes to water parameters than others. Unfortunately, velvet does thrive in low pH/warm water environments. Because my tap water has very low KH, getting a stable rise in pH or hardness is quite difficult. My goldfish tank has had a couple of cycle crashes even though I use crushed coral as a buffer and Seachem Neutral Regulator during water changes. I think the problem is that velvet is so highly contagious and very easy to miss early on, so I touch an infected tank thinking the fish are healthy and then contaminate another tank without even realising. I seem to have it under control at the moment. I only have one actively infected tank and they have almost completely recovered. So fingers crossed I see the back-end of it for a while.

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, I currently keep and breed a number of species from the coccina complex.

2019 Nissan Altima
Fans of the Nissan Altima are sure to be excited for the latest year model. That's because it's filled with safety, performance, and connectivity features that haven't been offered before.
In this 2019 Nissan Altima review, you learn how the Altima can help make your drives around Jenkintown, Abington, Glenside, and Philadelphia more enjoyable. Then, after reading through the information, you can contact us at Faulkner Nissan Jenkintown to see this midsize sedan in person.
The 2019 Nissan Altima comes Nissan Intelligent Mobility™ to help keep you confident on the road. This suite of driver-assisting technologies can enhance your awareness so that an accident doesn't occur.
One safety feature that may really interest you is the available ProPILOT Assist. It'll help you navigate through stop-and-go traffic by maintaining a safe distance from the car in front of you. If traffic starts to slow down, the system can also slow your vehicle down and bring it safely to a stop.
In addition, ProPILOT Assist can help keep you in the center of your lane. If you start to drift from your lane, the system will send warnings so that you can take action. If you don't react to the alerts, it can use subtle steering inputs to guide you back to the middle of your original lane.
The Altima gives you the power and traction you need to take on any road through its various performance features.
It offers a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 248 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This is actually the world's first Variable Compression Turbo engine and will respond to your inputs instantly. It can then actually change shape as it adjusts the compression ratio. This results in maximum output or fuel economy.
Another first is that the 2019 Altima is the first Nissan sedan to offer Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD). This system will constantly monitor road conditions and respond to changes right away. So, if you're driving in the rain or snow, the AWD system will distribute torque between the front and rear wheels before wheel slip can even occur.
The Nissan Altima Edition ONE is an enhanced version of an already impressive automobile. It comes with premium leather-appointed accents inside and 19-inch dark-gray alloy wheels outside. It also comes with illuminated kick plates, a rear spoiler, and an exclusive Edition ONE badging for an overall standout design.
Furthermore, the 2019 Altima Edition ONE offers the first-ever concierge service. Use the vehicle's display screen, your phone, or voice command to get any question answered, any time of the day.
If you're in the mood for Italian, they'll recommend the best restaurant in town. If you need last-minute movie tickets, they can help with that, as well. Your professional concierge team will provide the type of high-quality service you deserve, giving you some peace of mind.
As you can see, the latest Nissan Altima has a lot to offer to drivers like you in Jenkintown, Abington, Glenside, and Philadelphia.
If you're ready to experience this midsize car for yourself, then don't wait. Test drive the 2019 Altima at Faulkner Nissan Jenkintown today!

Pitbull helped rescue cancer patients in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico this week by sending his private plane to the island.
The 36-year-old singer, born Armando Christian Perez, said he was happy to fly several people back to the U.S. so they could receive treatment.
"Thank God we're blessed to help. Just doing my part," he said in a statement to the New York Daily News.
Puerto Rico Congresswoman Jenniffer Gonzalez thanked Pitbull, who is of Cuban heritage, for his help in a tweet Tuesday.
"Thank you @pitbull for lending your private plane to move cancer patients from PR to USA to that they can get chemo," she wrote in Spanish.
Gracias al cantante @pitbull x prestar avión privado para trasladar pacientes de cáncer de PR a USA para q puedan tomar quimio @DeptSaludPR
— Jenniffer González (@Jenniffer2012) September 26, 2017
Hurricane Maria reached Puerto Rico on Sept. 20, leaving 24 dead and most of the island without electricity, following the devastation of Hurricane Irma two weeks previous. Singers Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin are among the other stars who have supported relief efforts.
"The devastation is beyond belief," Lopez said in an Instagram video last week. "What's foremost on my mind and my others is trying to figure out the best way to help."
"Today Puerto Rico needs our help. I urge you support and donate to the efforts of the First Lady of Puerto Rico, Beatriz Rosselló," she encouraged fans. "Together we can help rebuild our island and the Caribbean."

101 St Martin's Lane,
London WC2N 4AZ
Project Size: 6,500 sq ft
Project Duration: 8 weeks
Urbanest is a leading contemporary student accommodation provider who work closely with major universities across London. Urbanest appointed Denton to design and fit out their brand new space at 101 St Martin's Lane with a brief to represent the company's ethos of flexibility and collaborative working.
To entice a more social working environment we substituted physical walls where possible with grid shelving units. This created a workspace that was sufficiently divided to allow simultaneous group meetings, individual working and relaxation space whilst remaining connected as a whole.
The entrance to the floor is located in the centre of their space. Exiting the lifts you are greeted to a welcoming client area where the natural light from the atrium floods in. The zones either side of this and through the narrow core are collaborative and agile, perfect for working or having a break.
The most popular meeting space features a diverse range of furniture to provide a collaborative place to work in with a residential feel.
Their boardroom continues to reflect the image of the company, it maintains a residential feel through colour and material choices whilst the style of furniture introduces a more corporate look.
It was in the details that made this job so successful. We had the chance to sit down with Urbanest to design and collaborate, with a very flexible attitude throughout, this forward thinking approach is what created the foundation for such a successful project and a very happy client.

A campaign dedicated to wiping out youth smoking was named one of the top 15 ad campaigns of the 21st Century by Advertising Age on Jan. 12. Cigarettes are the leading preventable cause of death, killing nearly half a million Americans a year and leaving 16 million others suffering from smoking-related illnesses.
"Truth," ranked at No. 10, was developed for Legacy, the first national public health foundation dedicated exclusively to tobacco control. It was established in 1999 as part of the Master Settlement Agreement, the largest civil litigation settlement in U.S. history, to educate the public about the impact of tobacco.
"It is truly an honor to be recognized among the best advertising campaigns, but more so to be a part of the reduction in the teen smoking rate in the United States," Legacy President and CEO Robin Koval said in a statement.
The TV spot used body bags to show the 1,200 deaths Big Tobacco could be held responsible for each day and is one of the campaign's most recognizable elements. It was developed by two creative agencies, Arnold Worldwide and Crispin Porter & Bogusky. The ad showed the visual effects of smoking, encouraged rebellion and made it cool not to smoke.
Along with other anti-smoking efforts, the campaign caught on. When it launched in 2000, the teen smoking rate was 23 percent. Last month the Monitoring the Future study by the University of Michigan reported that in 2014 the rate of teen smoking had declined sharply, to eight percent.
Although use of tobacco cigarettes is at a historic low, e-cigarettes are a concern because they target young people, can keep people hooked on nicotine and threaten to "re-normalize" tobacco use, according to an American Heart Association's policy statement.
American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown is on the Legacy board.

Britain ditches the old bag
Because of the accessibility and convenience of plastic bags they have always been heavily used over the past few years. In 2014 major supermarkets across England gave their customers over 7.6 billion single-use plastic bags. That's around 140 bags per person, amounting to a total of around 61,000 tonnes. These figures showed that the number of single-use plastic bags given by supermarkets increased for the fifth year running in 2014.1
This increase in plastic bags poses a threat to our environment. Not only do they consist of using fossil fuels, large amounts of water and energy to create which results in millions of tons of CO2 every year, but also the majority of plastic bags remain in landfills or oceans for thousands of years as they are not biodegradable.2 Due to plastic being lightweight they can be easily picked up and carried by the wind resulting in litter in towns, parks and across the countryside which is visually unpleasant and can cause further damage to our wildlife.1 Experts estimate that every year around 8m tonnes of plastic enters the world's ocean posing a serious threat to our marine and natural environment. It is estimated that plastic is eaten by over 100 species of sea birds and 31 species of marine mammals.3
Not only can plastic bags cause damage to our ecosystems they can also increase the risk of flooding. Because they don't completely break down they can clog storm drains and cause damage to the drainage system which can eventually result in severe surface water flooding.2
In order to try to combat the numerous detrimental effects of plastic bags it was agreed that large businesses need to charge for single-use plastic carrier bags. The aim of the scheme is to encourage people to re-use bags and thus reduce the use of single-use plastic carrier bags, and in turn reduce the litter associated with them.1 From 5 October 2015, large shops in England were required to charge 5p for all single-use plastic carrier bags. This is not dependent on the size of the branch but rather applies to retailers who have 250 or more employees. Half a year on and the number of single-use plastic bags used by shoppers at the 7 main retailers (Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda, Marks and Spencer's, The Co-operative group, Waitrose and WM Morrison) has dropped by nearly 80%4.
Wales introduced a similar 5p charge in 2011, followed by Northern Ireland in 2013 and Scotland in 2014. The scheme in Wales saw reductions in plastic bag use of 79% in its first 3 years and 71% in Northern Ireland and 80% in Scotland in the first year after the fee was introduced.5 The data for the six months from October 2015 to April 2016 shows a huge fall in the number of single-use plastic bags issued by the 7 main retailers from 7.6 billion in 2014 to just 0.6 billion single-use carrier bags.6 In addition to this, the 5p levy has encouraged retailers to donate more than £29.2 million to good causes such the environment, education, health, as well as charities and voluntary/community organisations.6
Other benefits we are expected to see over the next 10 years include £730 million raised for good causes and charities, £60 million saved in the cost of litter clean-up, £13 million carbon savings and an anticipated overall benefit of over £780 million to the UK economy.1
This massive drop in the number single-use carrier bags is evidence of how successful such a small charge can make and what an impact small changes in our everyday lives can have. Our next challenge may be to extend the charge to smaller businesses and reducing the number of non-recyclable coffee cups, plastic drinks bottles and excessive packaging to online shopping.

Three to Receive Honorary Doctorates at DePauw's 180th Commencement Ceremony
March 19, 2019
Three distinguished individuals -- Iraqi American artist and educator Wafaa Bilal; historian, author and professor Ann G. Carmichael; and noted jazz trumpeter Eddie Henderson -- will receive honorary doctoral degrees at DePauw University's 180th annual commencement. The ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 19, at 10 a.m. in Holton Memorial Quadrangle.
As previously announced, Drew Powell -- an actor best known for his role on television's Gotham and 1998 graduate of DePauw University -- will deliver the principal address to DePauw's Class of 2019. Powell will also receive DePauw's University Arts Medal during the program.
Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal, professor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, will receive an honorary Doctor of Performing Arts degree from DePauw. Known internationally for provoking dialogue about international politics and internal dynamics through high profile, Bilal's technologically-driven projects employ the use of robotics, the internet, and photographic mobile mapping. The professor's work is constantly informed by the experience of fleeing his homeland and existing simultaneously in two worlds -- his home in the "comfort zone" of the U.S. and his consciousness of the "conflict zone" in Iraq. Using his own body as a medium and based in New York City, Bilal continues to challenge the comfort zone of audiences with projects such as 3rdi, and Counting..., and Domestic Tension.
Ann Carmichael, associate professor emerita at Indiana University, authored Plague and the Poor in Renaissance Florence and is co-editor of Medicine: A Treasury of Art and Literature. Her research interests are in the history of medicine and public health (especially during the medieval period), and the history of epidemiology, and her work was widely published in scholarly journals. Carmichael, who will receive an honorary Doctor of Science degree from DePauw, has received a number of fellowships, including awards from the National Institutes of Health - National Library of Medicine, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Renaissance Society of America, and was co-principal investigator on a project for the NIH's Publication Grants program.
One of today's top and most original jazz trumpet players, Eddie Henderson will be awarded an honorary Doctor of Music degree. Born in New York City, Henderson's father sang with the Charioteers, and his mother danced as one of the Brown twins at the Cotton Club. Louis Armstrong gave a nine-year-old Henderson his first trumpet lessons. After a move to San Francisco, the Henderson home was visited, circa 1956, by Miles Davis, who was impressed by Henderson's playing but encouraged the younger musician to seek his own originality. Following service in the U.S. Air Force, Henderson became the first African American to compete for the national figure skating championship, and pursued dual careers in medicine and music. Henderson balanced a two-year residency in psychiatry at the University of California Hospital with his horn, playing with Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi group, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Slide Hampton, Benny Golson, Max Roach, and Dexter Gordon. Henderson has recorded more than two dozen albums of his own and has served on the faculty at Juilliard School of Music (2007-16) and currently teaches in the jazz department at Oberlin University.

Here is another idiom involving animals and one of my favorite ones" "until the cows come home".
The phrase means for a (very) long, undefined period of time. It is often used in context with talking as in this example
Liberal to Conservative: "we can talk about this until the cows come home but we will never agree on gay marriage."
But other things can also be done "until the cows come home, for example: dancing – "I love to dance. I could dance until the cows come home.", go on a diet "It isn't fair, I can diet until the cows come home and I am not loosing weight." – and many other things.
An alternative version is "till the cows come", it means the same thing in just a little more casual.
Where and when the phrase originated is unclear but it seems to refer to the slow and unhurried pace of cows that arrive in their own sweet time.

I can't believe it...I went to bed with a bad headache, woke up with the same headache...eventually made it in to work only to get worse to the point that I couldn't function. I took my migraine medicine & alternated ice & heat on my head & did everything else I do for my migraines. Finally it has eased enough that I am able to lift my head again & open my office door & start working. So...I get on the computer and check emails and go through my normal morning routine & also check my past posts. The one for last year on this day is about having a migraine at work, too. Hmmm...I wonder if they are the same every day of the year...then I could predict when I would have them!!! Nah, I don't think so...I think I just have them that often!
Actually, I really haven't had one in quite a while. I can't even remember the last bad one that I had. I have headaches often, but I can usually deal with those...a full blown migraine, though - that's a headache of a different pain! It's been a while since I've had one that put me out. This one was bad, but only really had me out for a few hours. Usually it's half a day or so. I thought I was going to have to get someone to take me home as I couldn't drive, but a little while beind closed doors with heat, ice, & my pillow and of course the good migraine meds & I think I'll be able to stick it out the rest of the day. Good thing, too b/c I have a deadline for Friday and it's my Friday off so it's bumped up to tomorrow. So I have a lot of work to do in the next two days and being out today wouldn't make that an easy deadline to meet!

Arlington vs. Nearby Cities
With a median listing price well below $300,000, Arlington is one of the more affordable cities in the northeastern region of Texas. Dallas is about 20 miles to the east and features an aggressive real estate market with a median listing price around $400,000. Denton is about 40 miles to the north and often has a median listing price around $300,000. Arlington's real estate market offers prices much closer to nearby Fort Worth and Waxahachie, both of which tend to stay closer to $250,000 for their median listing prices. The median sales price in Arlington is often closer to $200,000.
Arlington Property Managers
Property managers are typically given the authority to act on behalf of rental property owners. They're responsible for enforcing the rules and collecting rent, and this may include initiating the eviction process or assessing fines in accordance with state and local laws. They may also handle marketing and paperwork for new residents.
Arlington Property Management Fees
Most property managers charge a basic managerial fee plus added fees for finding new residents and processing their background checks and paperwork. Managers may also request that property owners keep added funds on hand to pay property bills and cover maintenance expenses. When repairs are needed or an emergency strikes, those expenses are also covered by the owners.
Texas Landlord/Tenant Laws
- Unless the lease states otherwise, Texas landlords must give residents at least three days to vacate the property before they can file for eviction due to the tenant's failure to pay rent. The landlord will send the tenant an unconditional quit notice to put this into effect.
- If a landlord fails to make essential repairs to a rental unit within a reasonable amount of time, the tenant may pay for the repairs and deduct the expense from their rent. They may also choose to withhold rent until the repairs are made.

Railroad ties replaced near downtown Salem
Union Pacific Railroad crews worked through central Salem on Thursday replacing worn railroad ties.
Shown here is work in progress along 12th Street NE between Marion and Court streets on Thursday afternoon, along with several pieces of heavy machinery.
The machinery included rail cars loaded with old ties that had been plucked from the railroad tracks, after previously having been marked for replacement with fluorescent green paint.
Mike Gotterba with Salem Public Works said that crew was scheduled to finish the project in that area by the end of the day Thursday.

Across 19 tracks in 40 minutes, Goat Girl's debut creates a half-fantasy world out of a very dirty, ugly city reality. In the group's words: "simply put, it's an album that comes from growing up in London and the first hand experience of our cities devolution. I wanted to think of it as this place seen not necessarily just through my eyes but someone who can't get past the abnormalities and strange happenings that exist in our city. I think this gives the freedom lyrically and musically to explore unspoken truths and emotions that we all as humans feel".
This world is populated by creeps and liars, lovers, dreamers and wonderful lunatics. It's a very English album – sharp-eyed observations like The Kinks, louche rage like The Slits – but it's also full of swampy swaggering guitars and Lottie's filthy drawl. "It wasn't exactly intentional to have this warped country sound, but I think that was initially what we were all drawn to and inspired by, bands that existed in a lo-fi, dissonant, scratchy context".

At the outset, the German officers investigating the brazen daylight assassination of a former Chechen separatist commander were lucky.
The killer, a man in a wig who had gunned down the victim in a Berlin park, was spotted by two teenagers, who called the police. Officers arrested the suspect near the Spree River as he stepped from a clump of shrubbery, with his wig gone, his clothes changed, his beard shaved off, and a Russian passport in his pocket.
Days after the Aug. 23 killing, investigators received an email from an anonymous sender. It suggested that the suspect was a hit man who had been released from prison by the Russian authorities in order to carry out the assassination in Berlin. It claimed his real name was Vladimir Alekseevich Stepanov, though authorities worried the email could be a hoax.
Since then, that early luck appears to have run out. Investigators have a suspect in custody, but they aren't certain who he is. The man with a shaved head, a hangdog face and arm tattoos, has mostly stayed silent, meeting only consular officers from the Russian Embassy.
"We have the guy, but he isn't talking and Russia isn't helping — so we are stuck with this mystery," said Patrick Sensburg, a conservative lawmaker who sits on the parliamentary committee that oversees the intelligence services.
"Russia should have an interest in helping if they are not involved," Mr. Sensburg added. "The fact that they are stonewalling us inevitably looks suspicious."
For Germany, the case has rekindled fears of Russian assassins roving freely around Europe, just over a year after Moscow was blamed for the poisoning in Britain of a former Russian spy, Sergei V. Skripal. The geopolitical stakes also are high, given Germany's tumultuous but important diplomatic and economic relationship with Russia.
The Kremlin has denied any connection to the Berlin suspect, but it has also ignored German investigators' requests for help. The victim, Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, fought against Russian troops in at least two wars in the early 2000s and had survived other assassination attempts before settling in Germany in 2016.
The German authorities have proceeded cautiously. The Berlin police are still in charge of the case. Putting it in the hands of federal investigators would signal official suspicions that the Russian state might be involved in the killing. Law enforcement officials briefed some German lawmakers about the suspect's possible identity two weeks ago, but have yet to make that name public.
When the suspect was arrested, he was carrying 3,000 euros in cash, two hotel cards and a newly issued non-biometric Russian passport that identified him as Vadim Andreevich Sokolov. Investigators believe the name is fake.
The anonymous email, sent via the encrypted service ProtonMail, was short and written in poor English, European and American officials said. At least one foreign intelligence agency rated the tip as credible, and several are aware of it.
The email predicted that the suspect would not talk and described him as a Russian contract killer who had done time in a penal colony identified as IK-11. The prison, located in the town of Bor, 270 miles east of Moscow, is said to be reserved for former law enforcement and intelligence officers convicted of grave crimes, according to news reports.
Officials say the email also linked to a news article from the Russian-language aggregator Obzorcity about a 2005 trial in Moscow in which Vladimir Alekseevich Stepanov was sentenced to 24 years in prison. He was not scheduled to be released for another decade. The email's implication was that he had been released early in order to carry out the mission in Berlin.
Independently, The New York Times reviewed court and government records in Russia and Russian-language news outlets and corroborated the main elements of the email tip. Vladimir Alekseevich Stepanov is a former major in the St. Petersburg police department.
In court records, Russian prosecutors said that Mr. Stepanov had used his position as a senior police official to provide cover and logistical support for a criminal gang that carried out a number of contract killings around Russia.
Mr. Stepanov was convicted of direct involvement in only one murder. In October 2003, he and an associate went to the home of Yelena Neshcheret, the owner of a St. Petersburg company that produced power tools. They waited in the courtyard and stabbed her to death. According to Russian investigators, Mr. Stepanov used a large trophy knife given to him as an award for his service during one of the wars in Chechnya.
German investigators interviewed by The Times said they could not be certain that the man they have in custody is the same as the St. Petersburg cop who moonlighted as a hit man. They have submitted a request to Russian officials to verify whether Mr. Stepanov was still in the specified prison and whether his file matched that of the Berlin suspect. So far, it is unanswered.
Times reporters also ran searches through millions of images on numerous photo databases and located two potential photographs of Mr. Stepanov from his trial in Moscow, one with his face partially obscured by the bars of a steel cage in the courtroom, the other in profile.
The Times provided a copy of the photographs to a European police officer who specializes in facial recognition. Asked to compare those photographs with recent pictures of the suspect in Berlin, the officer told The Times that he was 90 percent certain it was the same man.
But German investigators remain uncertain. Attempts to reach the sender of the mysterious email have been futile.
Investigators are wary of being lured into a trap, possibly as part of an effort by Russia or others to muddy the waters with disinformation.
Indeed, on Thursday, there was another twist. After The Times published details about the case, Fontanka.ru, a Russian news website, reported that Mr. Stepanov, the convicted St. Petersburg police officer, was still locked away in his Russian prison, and had in fact reported for roll-call and breakfast Thursday morning.
The outlet did not provide the source of the information, but did publish what it said was a current photo of Mr. Stepanov, which does not seem to resemble the suspect in custody in Berlin.
It is not uncommon for Russian intelligence services to recruit prisoners and former criminals, experts say. Earlier this year, Oleg Smorodinov, a former police officer turned professional crook, told The New York Times of being recruited by Russian intelligence operatives and sent into Ukraine to kill a retired special forces commander.
A 2006 assassination attempt on Mr. Khangoshvili appears to fit that pattern and could shed some light on his killing in Berlin 13 years later.
That 2006 case also involved a former inmate who had been released early and ordered to kill Mr. Khangoshvili in the Republic of Georgia, where he was living at the time, according to Zurab Maisuradze, the former chief of Georgia's antiterrorism center. Before he could do so, the Georgian authorities intercepted him, and arranged for him to record an encounter with his Russian handler, who was believed to be an officer with Russia's domestic intelligence service, the F.S.B.
On the video recording, Mr. Maisuradze said, the handler is heard ordering the assassin to murder Mr. Khangoshvili. He hands over $20,000 in cash and a Makarov pistol with a silencer.
Experts say that outsourcing assassinations helps the Russian government avoid the sort of geopolitical blowback that followed the poisoning of Mr. Skripal last year. Shortly after the British authorities determined that Moscow was most likely responsible for the attack, two dozen countries, including the United States, expelled more than 100 Russian diplomats in retaliation. The British authorities have indicted, in absentia, two decorated officers of the Russian military intelligence service known as the G.R.U. over the case.
"A professional kills with someone else's hands," said Oleksiy Arestovych, a retired officer in Ukraine's military intelligence service. "A staff officer would never take part in a liquidation, except for the case of the G.R.U. in Salisbury, though that was total idiocy."
In the Berlin killing, the suspect flew from Moscow to Paris on Aug. 17, traveling under the alias Vadim Sokolov and an expedited French visa that gave him freedom of travel in much of the European Union. He spent one or two nights in Paris, officials said, and then flew to Warsaw and checked into a hotel for five nights.
But after only three nights, on the eve of the murder, he departed for Berlin, leaving behind his luggage with clothes and a cellphone. Investigators believe he intended to return to Warsaw within 48 hours and travel back to Russia from there.
Officials say the killer almost certainly received logistical support — including the bike he was riding when he shot Mr. Khangoshvili; the electric scooter that was strategically parked to allow for a quick getaway; and the murder weapon. He was also probably briefed by accomplices on Mr. Khangoshvili's movements.
Shortly before noon on Aug. 23, the killer tracked Mr. Khangoshvili to Kleiner Tiergarten, a public park in central Berlin. Mr. Khangoshvili was on his way to the mosque for Friday Prayer when the gunman approached him from behind on a bicycle and fired three shots with a silenced Glock 26 pistol, hitting him twice in the head and once in the torso.
The killer then hopped on his bike and rode away.

With my end of the year post being finished I think it's the perfect time to look at the last dramas that are set to air soon. What awaits for us in the beginning of 2016? Well, well surprise surprise for the looks of it, Alzheimer's will be a popular topic…. especially lawyers with Alzheimer's – I'm talking about Memory and the currently airing drama Remember (was mentioned in my Dec-Jan post); Memory is set to air in March so I didn't add it in this post. There are also some fake marriage plots, casting in dramas I can't understand and dramas based on webtoons.
Frankly I'm not excited at all for these following dramas with the exception of two. (post will be updated as details will appear for January – February dramas)
Cheese in the trap – tvN (airing date: January 4 / Number of episodes TBA
One of the dramas I'm actually looking forward to is 'Cheese in the trap'. I don't know the webtoon, I'm not interested to read it and I don't like the writer of the drama but the casting combination looks interesting and I want to see how it will turn out. On top of that I love Park Hae Jin and Shin Joo Hwan. Shin Joo Hwan doesn't have a big role but still I'm happy to see him.
Lee Sung Kyung is a favorite model of mine, however when it comes to models entering the acting world it's always the excellent ones (Lee Chun Hee), the decent ones (Han Ji Hye) and the bad ones I won't name but you all know who I'm talking about. Lee Sung Kyung's acting is ….bad but I'll enjoy the prettiness. Anyway the idea of the drama looks interesting so I will be keeping my eyes on this one.
Teaser: HERE
Signal – tvN (airing date: January 22 /Number of episodes: TBA)
Until now I loved all the tvN thriller dramas so I hope this one won't be an exception. Considering the cast Jo Jin Woong (my ajusshi crush from 2014 after Beyond the Clouds), Kim Hye Soo and Lee Je Hoon I'm pretty sure they won't choose just any kind of script. As for the scrip and plot, I'm really curious to see how they will make it, I mean detectives from the past and present trying to clear a case, that's for sure interesting.
Teaser: HERE
Yeah, That's How It Is –SBS (February 18 / Number of episodes: 60)
I hardly watched long dramas from SBS. For some reasons, their weekend dramas aren't as good as the ones from MBC or KBS (except for "Smile, You") but seeing Nam Gu Ri and Yoon So Yi I'll try to watch it. No idea for how long I'll manage to follow this drama because for now all we have about the plot is "a story about a family" – that's nothing to look forward to, at least not for me.
The writer is Kim Soo Hyun. She wrote a lot of weekend family dramas including 'Life is Beautiful' (drama that was about a gay couple and their struggles to make people/their families accept the relationship).
The director worked in the past on dramas such as: All about my romance, Protect the boss, Temptation of an angel and many more.
Teaser: none at the moment
Moorim School –KBS (January 11 / Number of episodes: TBA)
The drama isn't appealing at all to me but I'm sure that at some point I will want to see an easy to digest type of drama. The casting is bad but with a plot like Moorim School we can't expect to have established actors or at least….actors in it. From teen actors to idols, gag men and even 'wtf are you doing here Daniel Lindemann' cast members I won't expect a drama that will blow me away.
I won't mention the director or the writer, it's not like people will care; after all the viewers will be more interested in Lee Hyun Woo and Hong Bin.
Teaser: HERE
Descendants of the Sun – KBS (February 24 / Number of episodes: 16)
A drama about the love of people who get closer as they learn to be considerate of each other in desperate times and sacrifices made by people who throw themselves into natural disasters -dramawiki
Story wise, I don't know if I'm interested in it but Jin Goo and Kim Ji Won are in it so I'll watch it. Song Hye Kyo and Song Jong Ki are the main thus I'm pretty satisfied with the casting.
Luckily the writers are good, I've seen some of their past works and I like their writing style. Kim Won Suk co-wrote 'The The Queen's Classroom' while Kim Eun Suk wrote 'A Gentleman's Dignity', 'Secret Garden'…………and 'The Heirs'. The director, Lee Eung Bok, worked in the past on: School 2013, Dream High 1 and 2 and Secret (the one with Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum).
The writers and the director did have some hit and miss project here and there but I hope this time they won't have a miss.
Teaser: HERE
Jang Youngsil: The Greatest Scientist of Joseon – KBS (January 2 / Number of episodes: 24)
A drama about an inventor during the Joseon period, that sure sounds nice. But for sure the story will also include a fight for power between the people at the palace, since that's how saegeuk dramas are.
I tried to search for past works of the two writers but I couldn't find anything. The director, Kim Young Jo, was the director behind dramas like Cinderella's Sister and Hong Gil Dong
Whatever, I just watch it for Song Il Gook!
Teaser: HERE
I saw some other dramas and by the titles some sounded interesting but I couldn't find anything about the cast or plots of those dramas. When new details will appear, I will update this post.
