1 The same story is told, nearly in the same words, by Tzetzes (Scholiast on Lycophron 1047), who probably copied Apollodorus. As to the settlement of Podalirius in Caria, compare Paus. 3.26.10; Stephanus Byzantius, s.v. Σύρνα. Podalirius was worshipped as a hero in Italy. He had a shrine at the foot of Mount Drium in Daunia, and the seer Calchas was worshipped in a shrine on the top of the same mountain, where his worshippers sacrificed black rams and slept in the skins of the victims for the purpose of receiving revelations in dreams. See Strab. 6.3.9; Lycophron, Cassandra 1047ff. Hence Lycophron said that Podalirius was buried in Italy, and for so saying he was severely taken to task by his learned but crabbed commentator Tzetzes, who roundly accused him of lying (Scholiast on Lycophron 1047).

CHICAGO — An astrochemistry student's future is in jeopardy after Social Security told her school she was dead.
Ashley Walker is a student at Chicago State University where she is majoring in chemistry and double minoring in physics and math.
"I have always been fascinated with space and want to continue my research," Walker wrote on her GoFundMe page. "I want to make a difference in a positive way in this fascinating world of ours."
Walker realized something was wrong when she went with her mother to purchase a car in Nov. 2016.
"I was denied credit which we found odd because I had good credit," Walker wrote. "My mother offered a down payment and I was still denied."
That same day Walker tried buying internet service and enrolling for the spring semester, but was told there was a problem with her social security card.
Walker and her mother went to the Social Service Administration and was informed that she died on Aug. 31, 2016. That was the day her father died after battling lung cancer.
While she is listed as being an informant on her father's death certificate, credit agencies believe she is dead as well.
"Experian declared me dead, informed the credit card companies, and my credit cards were put on hold, Walker wrote. "The credit bureau refused to budge, and even accused me of fraud."
Walker wrote on her GoFundMe page that her goal is to be the first black woman to receive a Ph.D in Astrochemistry. She was offered a fellowship at Harvard for the summer. But her fellowship is in jeopardy because of the error.
"If I am not back in school, I will lose my fellowship for Harvard this summer," Walker said. "I am not credit worthy now for loans this is why I am asking for help."
As of 4:45 p.m., Walker has raised $4,720 of her $20K goal. There have been 120 donors in 18 hours.
Friends and strangers alike from around the internet left Walker messages of positivity on the page.
"As one woman in astronomy to another, go get 'em" wrote Nancy Adams-Wolk.
"The persistence and determination you have shown in dealing with this bureaucratic nightmare is exactly what you will need as you continue on your chosen academic path. I am pleased to be able to help in a small way. You rock!" another GoFundMe donor posted.
WLS-TV reports Chicago State has been very helpful with getting her paperwork in order. She is optimistic that she will be declared as "alive" before the spring semester.

In Africa, just as the United States, the education system has 2 types of schools: government (free school), and private (paid school). However, in Africa, parents try very hard to send their children to a private school because of the higher quality of education, teachers and their training. Since private schools have more freedom in a variety of areas, these are the schools we serve.
We work with schools that are needing to expand their classrooms, and other building issues.
We also offer class on feminine hygiene and Standing with Boys (goal-setting/respect) to schools requesting these programs to be taught.
Also, visiting the students and doing a cultural exchange is a highlight of every visit. Join us on an expedition to interact with these classes and schools!
Matthew Cares Foundation
Buduburam (outside of Accra) is a Liberian refugee settlement where the poverty cycle is difficult to break. Local Ghanaians view the Liberians as illegal immigrants and there is much prejudice. As such, it is difficult for parents to find work, earn a living, and pay for school fees for their children. Many children in Buduburam are unable to go to school. A Liberian man, Matthew Davis, founded a charity school called Matthew Cares Foundation International with shoe-string resources and a determination to help break the cycle of poverty among his people.
Kwamo School
Kwamo is a suburb of the city of Kumasi. Their school enrollment is growing, and are in need of more classrooms. FMF has been working with them to expand their classrooms.
The pile of sand is used to make bricks on site. Members of FMF and local tradesmen work together to get the foundation and walls started. We will be finishing the project with the team coming in May 2019.

Man found hanging, dead in jail cell after crash, arrest, coroner says
Kelvin Taylor transferred from Greenville to Spartanburg before death, officials say
Kelvin Taylor transferred from Greenville to Spartanburg before death, officials say
A man has died after being found hanging in his cell at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility, according to the coroner's office.
Rusty Clevenger said Kelvin Thomas Taylor, 48, was jailed in Greenville after a crash that left him injured.
He was transferred to Spartanburg County to face other charges filed against him, Clevenger said.
His body was found Friday morning, according to Clevenger.
An autopsy found Taylor died of "strangulation by hanging," Clevenger said.
Clevenger said Taylor's relatives could not be reached over the holidays and weekend, which led to a delay in notification.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the death, according to Clevenger.

Equipped with years of hidden baggage and a faux-feminist persona, sad boys are altering the dating scene by gaslighting and disappointing every woman they almost date. Rather than typical dates, these men will make you listen to Mac DeMarco and Sufjan Stevens outside of an abandoned parking garage, while speaking about their total apathy. He'll show you his one painted nail under the moonlight, and mansplain any movie you both have seen. And then, after some grand romantic gesture way too soon, he'll never speak to you again!

Long story short—I bought this dresser, night stand, and bed in the 90's. It had a sUper dark stain, I painted it a pale celery green, an artist-friend added the touch of pansies and strawberries!
I bought it for resale—but it didn't. 😥 (Actually, the night stand did!)
*My bf and I were working the flea market hard–4 summer shows each season and making mAd money during the rEAlly eARly Shabby Chic-craze!
~We took a lOt of flack at times for painting "good wood!" and liked to experiment with all kinds of color–not just the standard white. I had to do some DiGGing just to find this–can't find its darkly stained original look.
*Did I mention we were in gRADe school when we started doing this!?!
Since the bedroom set didn't sell, it rotated in and out of storage and being lent out to family. Last spring I completely re-fashioned the bed for mom's guest bedroom—reupholstering the headboard and caning the foot board–
~remember this project–?!?
A great-niece was the last to use the dresser, and just recently gave it back to me. . .so,
~I think it's time to give it a new life once and for all!
After scraping some of the rough and bubbled paint, and priming out some stains–I began painting it alabaster white, which looked fresh, but the painted top wasn't WoWing me. So I stripped it—BeTTer!
Wanting to decoupage the drawer fronts with old sheet music and pages from old books~ just to balance out the "colors," I painted the side panels my fav-Revere Pewter.
I sanded off the excess of the pages, and then waxed the sides and guides of the drawers and dresser so eVerything would open and close really smoothly! What a workout! Lastly–I changed the hardware to something "chunkier!"
Yes~ my work space is OuT of ConTRoL!
~And THaT's anOTHer project!
The dresser is at the store now, looking for a new home!
I'm sharing this project with these FABulous linky parties!

Today a paper from our collaborators at the University of Newcastle has just been released for viewing online. This is written by Priscila Melo from the Dalgarno research group, and features the contributions of Dr Thomas Swift to characterise the materials.
The clinical application of composites seeks to exploit the mechanical and chemical properties of materials which make up the composite, and in researching polymer composites for biomedical applications the aim is usually to enhance the bioactivity of the polymer, while maintaining the mechanical properties. To that end, in this study medical grade Poly(L-lactic) acid (PLLA) has been reinforced with short phosphate-based glass fibers (PGF). The materials were initially mixed by melting PLLA granules with the short fibers, before being extruded to form a homogenous filament, which was pelletized and used as feedstock for compression moulding. As made the composite materials had a bending strength of 51 MPa ± 5, and over the course of eight weeks in PBS the average strength of the composite material was in the range 20–50 MPa. Human mesenchymal stromal cells were cultured on the surfaces of scaffolds, and the metabolic activity, alkaline phosphatase production and mineralization monitored over a three week period. The short fiber filler made no significant difference to cell proliferation or differentiation, but had a clear and immediate osteoinductive effect, promoting mineralization by cells at the material surface. It is concluded that the PLLA/PGF composite material offers a material with both the mechanical and biological properties for potential application to bone implants and fixation, particularly where an osteoinductive effect would be valuable.

From Sify News:
An estimated 40,000 women from India's northeast were recruited by various escort services for the Commonwealth Games, sparking fears that a vast majority of the women could be engaged in a prostitution racket in New Delhi during the 12-day mega event, rights groups and a minister said here Tuesday.
'We are indeed worried with girls from the northeast, numbering somewhere around 40,000 recruited by various agencies, luring them of good money and job opportunities... it has all the possibilities of being engaged in an organised prostitution racket,' Hasina Kharbih, chairperson of Impulse NGO Network, a rights group working in rescuing women trafficked from the northeast, told IANS.
According to inputs with the Impulse NGO Network and the Meghalaya government, gullible girls from the eight northeastern states, including Darjeeling and Siliguri in West Bengal, were wooed by smart operators by putting out newspaper advertisements - promising lucrative remuneration and good assignments during the Games.

Over the recent years our founding fathers of the USA come under the handling of the writings of revisionist of American history. One who has received the worst of the revisionism has been Ben Franklin who went from a grandfatherly type of inventive genius to as a degenerate evil mastermind. The one who has withstood the test of time is John Adams. He was seen in the beginning as a patriot but not one that was well liked. Here is a clip from one of the best musicals ever produced, 1776, that shows off Mr. Adams personality and patriotism. The part is well played by William Daniels and better known as Mr. Feeney from the TV show "Boy Meets World."

If you are moving to a new place, or want to change the look of your home, there are many interior design firms in Malaysia that you can go to. There are also many different things you can do to improve the quality of your living environment.
In this article, we will give you a few tips that you can follow to transform your home.
Decorative Mirrors:
If your house is small, using decorative mirrors can make it appear larger. These mirrors are perfect for small spaces and filling up empty places on the wall. Also, if you feel like your room is too dark, you can place mirrors directly across windows. This will add light to your room and brighten up the place.
Use Lighter Colors:
Paint your room in lighter, more pastel colors if you want it to appear larger. Light colors can reflect natural light and make your room look bigger than it really is. On the other hand, using darker colors will make your room look smaller and more boxed in. Playing with the colors correctly can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home.
Get Creative!
It is not necessary for you to spend a lot of money when decorating your home. You can use accessories or ornaments you already have to make your place look great. For example, hang plates to make amazing wall art.
Go Green:
Add plants to your home! Plants are inexpensive, beautiful, and a great pollutant absorber. Not only will they improve the look of your home, but also the texture and air quality.
Use Rugs:
Throwing a rug over your floor can add a lot of color and personality to your home. You can play around with different types and colors, and get creative with them. If you have pets or children, it may be better for you to get washable rugs in case they get dirty.
When it comes to decorating your home, every small thing counts! You don't have to spend much money, just keep it simple and use things you already have.

The hauntingly powerful documentary showed the truth all white people knew but wanted to hide – anyone can turn to hate when it suits them
Channel 4's documentary, White, Angry and American was raw in its depiction of even casual hate. Gary Younge was impressive in the face of an onslaught of abuse from Richard Spencer but the show was a powerful reminder of the real danger of those with extreme views; they make every day hate more common and more acceptable.
When Younge sat down with a seemingly friendly stranger who was happy to talk, it seemed an innocuous scene. Before long though, the genial stranger started talking about how diversity had gone too far, that white people were threatened to be wiped out and his biggest grumble with Trump was that he hadn't done anything. While so many laugh at Trump's failed agenda, we cannot forget that there are those furious with Trump for not doing more to push through white supremacy. That latent anger was used to elect Trump and it could bring even worse still.
There was the Democrat who ran for office, and argued that her friends were not the 'basket of deplorables' Clinton had said and she was offended for them. While there was an acknowledgement that white people were furious because of a loss of jobs and the American dream wasn't delivering for them (and an acceptance that it was never designed to empower people of colour), the refusal to see that those who voted for Trump are complicit in white supremacy fails to assign accountability. It doesn't matter how bad things are, the fact white people could vote for a man who promised to make white America great again by furthering the oppression of people of colour shows that they voted for racism. They voted to make their lives better at the expense of others. That is deplorable.
Until white America, as a whole, acknowledges the pain it has caused then nothing can change. White privilege is being able to vote for a candidate that will make your life better at the expense of everyone else and that is the core of white supremacy. It doesn't need to be a string of men at a protest carrying torches and shouting "soil and blood", it is everything that allowed that to happen in the first place and that includes every single person who voted for Trump or said that Clinton was just as bad.
"Until white America, as a whole, acknowledges the pain it has caused then nothing can change"
Even among those who understood the pain of Trump and of America's legacy of white supremacy, there was still a refusal to give up on that ferocious white identity. One woman acknowledged that the South should not rise again, that she was glad the South lost the civil war but she believed in paying tribute to the Confederate flag to honour the young boys (often teenagers) forced to fight for white supremacy, sometimes held ransom as by fighting it was the only way they could make any kind of living and escape poverty. As idealistic and hopeful as that is, the Confederate flag represents nations who wanted to keep slavery. It is a symbol, for many millions of people of colour, of white supremacy. The nuance doesn't matter. There are many discussions that could be had about how white supremacy tried to recruit working class and poor white Americans to its own ends. Those conversations can take place without a hurtful and racist symbol being present. Even sympathetic white Americans couldn't take down their damn flag.
What was more horrifying than Spencer stating white supremacy and slavery benefited black Americans were the well meaning people who were still willing to tolerate racist ideas and symbols. Spencer is a leader of hate but if society by and large had shut down any platform he ever had, than the 'alt right' wouldn't have come into the mainstream. There are the gatekeepers too. The ones who say that they're just well meaning good Americans who voted for Trump, not because they were racist, but just because they wanted a job. Those who say technically the alt-right aren't fascists, forgetting that language and ideology fluctuate and if a person of colour says they're being targeted by fascists, the only job of white people is to offer solidarity and not tone police. There are those nostalgic for the past, casting aside the reality that the past was an even more oppressive time for people of colour and that's why it was so good for white Americans. White Americans benefitted from stealing from and oppressing black people. They're nostalgic for an era where they reaped the rewards of oppression.
White, Angry and American offered a snap shot of the different kinds of white people; the KKK. The alt right. The nostalgic guy who wants his childhood back. The nice guy who just has concerns white people are being replaced. The politician who just worries (white) people won't get the jobs they always expected. The liberal who thinks we need more complex conversations and can't talk in binaries. In one way or another, either explicitly or implicitly, all of these people cater to racism. Good white people who just want to get on, can be racist. There were a lot of decent hard working guys, and long time Democrats who voted for Trump. Maybe a part of the vote was about the economy, but about an economy that depends on white people being elevated by the oppression of people of colour. White America is angry, but you have to wonder just what right they have to be.

Welcome all as Christ:
The Rule of Saint Benedict may seem antiquated to us today. Written in the early 6th century as a rule of life for those living together in community as Christians and monks, the Rule of Saint Benedict provided much needed direction and a path to living in community together. (Without killing each other -anyone who has had several roommates understands what I'm saying here).
As a priest in a local church, The Rule of Saint Benedict (RB) also provides me with insight, and it challenges me on how we can be the church in the world today. In a culture that is so very self absorbed, the RB can help us recover some of what is best on being the community of God and to give hope to a despairing world. The RB also may enrich our culture today by reminding the community of God how the early church and early monasticism viewed each other, and how each was to view the stranger, the new person among you. According to the RB, each person has great value.
Chapter 53: The Reception of Guests
All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matt 25:35). Proper honor must be shown to all, especially to those who share our faith (Gal 6:10) and to pilgrims. Once a guest has been announced, the superior and the brothers are to meet him with all the courtesy of love.
(RB p.89 Anthony C. Meisel and M.L. del Mastro, Doubleday 1975).
To do this we have to train our eyes to really see people, to be aware, to see people as Christ sees and to respond in kind.

The State of the Industrial Compressor Market
MetadataShow full item record
The industrial compressor industry in the United States has been operating in a textbook example of a mature market. No truly new compressor technology has been introduced in the past thirty years and there is none on the horizon. Competitive pressures have pushed manufacturers to increase per-employee productivity and implement strict inventory and purchasing procedures to maintain profitability. Many major players that were in the rotary screw industry ten to fifteen years ago (Joy, Chicago Pneumatic, Worthington and Kellogg, to name a few) are gone. With Ingersoll-Rand's recent departure, Gardner Denver is the only U.S. company that manufactures an industrial, double-acting, reciprocating compressor. The dynamic compressor manufacturers face a similar situation. When inflation, small as it is, is factored in, industrial compressor prices have held steady or fallen in each of the past five years. With these market conditions, it is likely that the number of companies that manufacture industrial compressors will continue to decline. The companies that survive and grow will be the ones that offer solutions instead of just equipment.

My father in law lopped off a couple branches from a downed tree on his property for me a while back. I carve a couple spoons from a branch that I'm certain was birch. Smelled right, pale colored wood. I know a if spoon carvers use birch, but it just didn't excite me. Wasn't my favorite wood. So I let the rest sit for a while, but a few nights ago I split another branch open to find that this one was from a beech tree! It's much nicer looking wood, and a bit harder too, I think.
I carved one eating spoon initially, and liked it so well I carved a second as similar to the first as I could. Made the handle a bit longer, it only because the first ones handle was shorter than I intended for it to be.
I roughed these out pretty quickly on by bandsaw, then did the knife work upstairs sitting in the rocking chair I finished building a couple months ago. My basement isn't heated, and with the cold snap here in Pennsylvania it's been a little unpleasant to work in. It was very relaxing to sit in my chair and carve while watching TV with my wife. Luckily he didn't mind me making a mess in the living room.

Thanks Jim! I'm still not completely sure if I like eating off of a wooden spoon, but they're fun and pretty quick to carve. I hate how wood gets fuzzy after it gets wet, so I tried to leave the knife finish everywhere I could. I find wood cut with a knife doesn't get fuzzy like wood that's been sanded. I did sand the bowl to remove a couple of small catches I couldn't seem to get rid of, but I started with 800 grit, then sanded with 2000 grit, and the spoon doesn't seem to be getting fuzzy yet.

Poster Illustration, Character Design
Forest Stand
Back Download
"Forest Stand" deals with reckless meat consumption, visualising the topic in the form of posters, action figures and complementary accessories. Five elderly animals represent endangered species in Taiwan. At first glance, the scenarios look like a nostalgic toy world. But they quickly reveal a dark core, as the animals turn out to be market vendors selling meat specialties. It is through this pinch of black humour that the characters get the message across – consumers are supposed to stop the macabre sellout and change their eating habits.

The propane hot water on demand system arrived and I shoved it in to the "shed" area of the house. Also, I should have fastened the sub floor to the trailer as soon as the sub floor was first completed. However, I didn't have a clue what I was doing back then and was scared to do something so important incorrectly, but as time passed and I gained knowledge and experience I figured out a solution and am confident it will work!
Odds and ends...
Cute ceiling...
I decided to do a drop ceiling in the bathroom, mainly so I can put the fan in and hide the big ugly duct.
Outside is done for the summer!
And just in time too, the rains are a coming... I instantly got bored of wiring and returned to doing outdoor stuffs, so I built these doors for the shed, and now that those are done I really only have the soffits, which are purely cosmetic for this house design, but I'll take care of that at a later date...like next spring kinda later, after a date, a later date.
Electric Youth!
With the exterior pretty much complete, it's time to start working on the inside...This stuff will be pretty dry, photo wise and blog wise...I mean it's the guts of the house, and well...it isn't overly interesting...but obviously necessary...I also have no clue how to do any of it...So, to tell if the wire is "alive" I put my tongue against the blue wire??? Whaaaaaa....
The rains have been here for the better part of a week. Meaning I lost some days completely and other were half days. In that time though, I did chip away at the siding, and today I had a good run and finished up what is in the photos...I still have the other dormer to do, but if the weather holds for me tomorrow I should be able to complete the siding!
I'm building a tiny house on The Sunshine Coast in BC, so I have somewhere to live...I also have no idea what I am doing...

Used in outdoor timber-framed structures such as decks, pergolas and porches, this line of heavy-duty hardware forms strong, rigid connections with a unified, ranch-style look.
Compatible with ACQ-treated stock, all components are made of hot-dipped galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish for long-term corrosion resistance.
To help create rigid, reinforced joints, these truss ties overlay adjacent timbers in several common joint configurations.
Flush-mount plates bracket inside 90°, outside 90° and inside 45° connections, while butt-joint flush plates cover in-line connections. The truss base fan overlays the joints used in king post truss construction.
Optional accent plates are used to cap each end of any of the truss ties, giving the connection a tidy, finished look. Fasteners not included; fastener caps supplied with the accent plates only.

Genesis 4:1-8 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? "If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it." Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
After reading about the fall of man previously we move on to the lives of the children of Adam and Eve. This is again a story familiar to most people because it highlights an error on God's part or so it seems.
Why was God biased towards Abel over Cain when both of them brought their first fruits as an offering to Him? What does God want to teach us today?
God seriously punished Adam and Eve for their terrible choice and this punishment has become a life principle for us today. We toil to make a living and women suffer severe pain during childbirth.
After God moved them out of the garden of Eden, they conceived and had two sons and Eve's heart was revealed when she praised God for this provision. We are reminded inPsalm 127:3 'Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward'. Therefore Eve certainly thanked God for these sons as a gift from Him to them.
These sons grew and during harvest time, brought their first produce to give to God. Cain's gift was the first fruits and produce because he was a farmer and Abel's was the firstlings of his flock because he was a shepherd. Both gifts were the first fruits but God was pleased with Abel and not with Cain.
The reason for this is the attitude of Cain's heart which later manifested in Him killing his own brother to quench his anger with God. God loves a cheerful giver and hates those who mock him with their bribes.
Abel gave out of his sincere gratitude for what God had blessed him with but Cain gave because he had to give. Here's what Jesus said when he saw a poor widow come and put in only two small copper coins versus the rich who were putting in large sums into the treasury: (Mark 12:43-44) Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on."
As you can see, God values the gifts that we give from our heart and therefore today we are reminded that whatever we give to God, whether it be our time, resources, attention, love, etc., that we give it with our entire heart for our God loves a cheerful giver. Lets not do anything because we have to and make our relationship with God about works but lets do it because we love to and honor God with our lives.
In His Loving Service,
Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.

Every step you take feels like you're being pinched in the foot…over and over again. And it's not because of an injury—you don't have any. No. It could have everything to do with that bothersome wart that has grown in the bottom of your foot. You'll want to see a professional about that soon. Make it a point to visit Foot Associates New York and get top-notch treatment at our Midtown Manhattan podiatry office.
Some of the most common symptoms of warts include: small, fleshy, grainy bumps; flesh-colored, white pink or tan; rough to the couch; sprinkled with black pinpoints. When exactly is it time to see a professional about this? Watch out for any of the red flags: grows are bothersome or interfere with day-to-day tasks, the growths are painful or change in appearance or color, warts persist (despite frequent treatment), you have a weakened immune system because of immune-suppressing drugs, or if you aren't even sure if the growths are actually warts. These warts can be easily contracted through skin-to-skin contact with folks who have warts. If you have them, it's ideal to avoid contact with others in order to avoid spreading it. How rampant they grow depends largely on one's immune system, so the symptoms can vary from one person to the next. Children and people with a weakened immune system are at the most risk. Sound good? Our patients certainly think so. All you have to do is swing by Foot Associates New York's Midtown Manhattan podiatry office for wart removal.
Now all you have to do is take the first step—contact us. Do that via phone or e-mail. Whatever your most comfortable with. Reach out to Foot Associates New York, so you can finally be on the way to treating those warts. Head over to our Midtown Manhattan podiatry office soon.

Last year I received some rental income on a property that I inherited. I have never had to complete a tax return and I think I may now need to but the HMRC has not written to me to say that I do. What should I do?
There is a statutory duty on 'every person' who is chargeable to income tax or capital gains tax for a particular tax year and who has not received a notice to make a return of his total income and gains to give notice of his chargeability to HMRC not later than six months after the end of the relevant tax year. So if you started to receive rental income in the tax year to 5 April 2018 then you are required to notify HMRC by 5 October 2018.
Failure to notify HMRC will result in a penalty. For a deliberate and concealed failure the penalty is 100% of the tax due, for a deliberate, but not concealed failure, it is 70% of the tax due and for any other case it is 30%. These penalty levels can be mitigated in certain circumstances. Whilst HMRC requires notification by 5 October they will not levy a penalty if you register late, but still pay the tax due in full by the deadline which in your case is 31 January 2019.
The simplest way to notify HMRC is to register for Self Assessment online, this can be done by going to https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/shortforms/form/SA1 on the internet. It can take up to 4 weeks to complete the registration process. Your tax return may then be completed online and must be done by 31 January following the end of the tax year. So, for your rental income received in 2017/18 you would need to complete your tax return by 31 January 2019. Any tax due will be payable by the same date.
As a general guide the following people would need to complete a tax return;

If one has lived long enough chances are there have been some statements said to them that they have never forgotten. Classic statements I call them.
With that statement often there is a picture of who, when, where, most everything about what was said has stayed with them. Probably some of those statements can still today make one smile, laugh and in some cases do just the opposite. Recently upon seeing a 1957 Chevy I had to smile when I recalled something my dad once said to me.
In 1959 my dad bought a car. Not a new car but a "new" to us car. By the way back then families often had only one car. The family car. There was no mom's car, dad's car or junior's car. One car, the family car. Back in my dating days guys did a lot of doubling dating. An often ask question of one of your buddies during the week, "What night this week-end can you get your car?" So you would plan say Friday night you get your family's car and Saturday night you would double-date and then reserve the process next week.
Ok. In 1959 my dad bought a 1957 Chevrolet. Bought it from Tiffin's Auto Sales, only place my dad bought his cars. My dad was the kind of person if he once bought something from someone and was pleased, treated what he considered fairly, he was their customer for life.
Dad brought this "new" car home late at night, placed it in the garage. I had not seen the car. The next morning at breakfast he announces to me he had traded cars. Then tells me it was a 1957 Chevy. I about fell out of my chair when hearing this, a '57 Chevy. He goes on to tell me, that it was a hardtop, V-8 stick-shift. Well he didn't say stick shift, his words was standard shift. Oh...my. Now I was getting excited. A 1957 Chevrolet was a big deal in the late 1950s'. Still is today, I recently saw a '57 Chevy convertible sell for $70,000 and a two door hard-top in good condition still today will bring anywhere from $40,000 upwards. Now I am beside myself with the announcement of this information. The Adamson's with A '57 Chevy, V-8 stick shift, hard-top. Don't get much better than this. Man old man, dad has really come through this time.
Upon hearting all this automotive information I jumped up from the table, I'm out the door headed to the garage. I get to the garage, swing open the door, wow. There it is. Truly is a '57 Chevy. Yes, hardtop, had the V-8 emblem. Oh this is too good to believe. Like our nine year old grandson who saw the continuous running chocolate machine at the restaurant we took the family for dinner this past mother's day, his words, "This is the greatest day of my life." My exact feelings upon standing in the garage seeing my family's latest purchase.
Then it hits. Can't be. Surley I didn't look right. I had looked in the window, maybe I should slide in behind the wheel. Get a closer look. I do. Still the same. It's can't be. Nobody would do something like this. I check all the instruments and looking to the right of the panel I still see the same thing. No radio. No radio. Who in their right mind in 1959 buys a car, especially a 1957 Chevy, hard-top V-8 beautiful color car, stick shift and no radio?
I hit the kitchen door running. My dad was sitting at his usual early morning place and his usual routine. End of kitchen table, coffee cup to his left and the paper to his right. Probably reading "Alley Oop" or "Dagwood." "Dad, dad." He looks up. "Dad that car doesn't have a radio."
His response--------------------- a classic line to a seventeen year old teenage boy.
"Radio, radio if you want to listen to the radio come in the house."
Classic lines. You got any you remember? Bet so.

Keep on,

Since professional and top amateur athletes tend to get a reputation for selfishness and/or being uneducated, it excites me when I read about a superstar who exemplifies the qualities of a kind, smart and well-round individual.
Most athletes aren't "dumb jocks" – many simply don't apply themselves in the real world. They receive more praise/perks/money than the common man thus often choosing to solely concentrate on the actions in their particular sport.
Consequently, far too many go through life with a mind or heart that is seldom used to its potential. In addition, the snowballs of temptation are constant and these men are often not prepared to deal with that precarious avalanche.
I write from experience as I played Divisional 1 Basketball for four years, getting to know some teammates and opposing players quite well during my collegiate days. I met men who had the world as their oyster yet failed to fulfil their dreams due to overconfidence, lack of applying their skills outside of basketball and most importantly, not utilizing the college scholarship as a stepping stone to even higher success.
Since a tiny percentage (3 of 10,000) of high school players will be drafted by a professional NBA team and only 3.1% of these athletes will play college basketball at a NCAA member institution (www.ncaa.org), a majority of them need to use the advantages of a free university education to secure a future life in the business world. Sadly, many don't even graduate from college.
Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets is a person any mother would be proud to call their son. His basketball prowess aside, here is what the sportswriter Rick Reilly wrote in a recent column:
This is the kind of man Chris Paul is: He was president of his high school class all three years. When Lebron James' girlfriend had a baby, James made sure Paul was there. He's so humble that if you didn't know who he was, you'd swear he was the pool man.
More from Reilly about Paul's remarkable display of love:
This kid floors me. Not just with the way he can dominate an NBA playoff game at 6 feet tall in elevator sneakers. Not just for the way he can twist Kobe Bryant into a Crazy Straw. Not just for the way he'd rather pass through a doughnut hole than take the shot himself.
No, what floors me about Chris Paul is his humanity. If strangers had bound my weak-hearted grandfather, beat him for no reason and killed him for the cash in his wallet -- strangers who to this day have not shown a thimbleful of contrition -- I'd want them in prison 100 years after they were in the dirt.
Is there a love purer than what Paul has shown? In every article I have read on similar tragedies, there has never been a person who has displayed so much compassion and humanity for those who killed the person nearest and dearest to them.
Paul's act should inspire everyone to be kinder, gentler and more loving to those close to us, those not so close to us, those we may not like and those random souls that pass in and out of our lives.
It has inspired me.
Stevie Wonder sang it beautifully in his timely 1977 song, "Love's in need of Love Today" – I wrote an article about it in 2010. The link and a few lyrics are below:
Hate's going round
Breaking many hearts
Stop it please
Before its gone too far
The force of evil plans
To make you its possession
And it will if we let it
Destroy ev-er-y-body
We all must take
Precautionary measures
If love and peace
You treasure
Then you'll hear me when I say
Oh that
Love's in need of love today
We may never reach the heights of love like a Nelson Mandela or a Chris Paul although I don't think there are many of us who cannot improve upon the love in our hearts and minds, particularly when it comes to helping the less fortunate in our global world.
The next time you get angry or upset over some minor issue, think of Chris Paul and the love that he displayed after thugs killed his beloved grandfather.
What I have learned from Paul is that there are very few experiences in life that cannot be enhanced with love – even if only in small doses.
Dr. King said it best when talking about greatness, love and one's soul:
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
--Martin Luther King

Claverack Lakefront Cottage, $275,000
Looking for waterfront? Affordable? Adorable? A short walk to a delicious restaurant, library, bookshop? Short drive to train station or to the Taconic? Sorry — I don't mean to sound like a marketer, but I'm pretty keen on this Summit Lake cottage at 3 Lake Drive in Philmont for a country house. Beautiful water views, fireplace, woodstove, open floor plan. I love the kitchen. Okay, it has only two bedrooms and 1,700 square feet, which limits who'll want it (someone who craves solitude, has only one kid or doesn't want to bring lots of friends up with them for the weekend). I would try to outfit that garage as a guest house/studio, if the town will allow it — a big if, I know. It's on half an acre, not bad for a village lot, but certainly not an estate. You will have neighbors. Built in 1930, with taxes under $6,000.

Not Available for the Holidays: Amazing Italianate Mansion
I've driven by this Italianate mansion in Tivoli, N.Y. for years but never knew that it was available to rent. Oh, my my. Turns out a friend of mine has snagged it for the holidays, so none of us gets to spend New Year's there, folks. But good to know that we can take turns renting it out the rest of the time. It's called Ham House, and it's amazing. Somehow both updated and frozen in time, on the Hudson, river views, walking paths, a fifty-foot pool!
All this glory doesn't come cheap: $4500 in high season. But it easily sleeps 10, making it fairly reasonable for a week in the country. A very short walk into town from there. I'm going to gather some peeps and try to get it for a week this summer. Who's in?
Five Figure Fridays! Spotlight on Saugerties
Saugerties has a lot to offer – easy Thruway access, an Esopus/Hudson riverfront downtown area with sheltered marinas, and a lovely woodsy sprawl of well kept residential outlying areas that manage a nicely hybridized suburban/rural feel. And fifteen or twenty minutes away is the lovely and ski-y Tannersville/Hunter/Windham area, just up the steep and twisty 23A past Kaaterskill Falls or the closed-every-winter, butt-clenchingly hairpin Platte Clove Road (pro tip: do NOT drive down this road in a 1984 camper van with lackadaisical brakes).
That said, in a lot of cases staying under 100 grand in Saugerties requires some imagination and some courage. So with dauntless, fixer-upper spirit, here are five five-figure Saugerties properties. Details and more pictures of each property are after the jump. From highest to lowest:
A true "handyman special," this waterfront (!) village home has, according to the broker, been in the same family since 1890. Which is amazing and also somehow a little mournful. Fifty feet of frontage on the Esopus, just below the dam, which means constant white noise for extra deep sleeping. Attention kayakers: your backyard water access here is a couple hundred yards from the Hudson River. There are no interior pictures (whuh-oh) so assume you're buying the location and the water. $89k.
This is a mobile but looks well-kept and turnkey. Pretty front lawn on 2.4 acres. Half the property is across the street and consists mostly of bluestone quarry, which is either depressing or exciting depending on how you feel about stone, I guess. Imagine the patio you could build, with ulra-local materials! $89k.
Adorable and affordable, this little blue cottage has the distinction of being the first property in a long time that made my wife say "yes, I want it." Of course, she also looked at the picture of the on-property stream and said "oh look, it even has its own puddle!" $65k.
Another fixer for the staunch of spirit, but my sakes could this be striking when it's done. A 1965 contemporary with interesting bi-level design (the Zillow link has even more, and more interesting, pictures than the listing agent does) but, since this changed hands for $150k just eight years ago, you have to assume there's something badly wrong here. Still, it has tremendous potential. $65k.
Lastly, the bargain of the bunch – an estate sale that hasn't been occupied in over a decade (what is it with Saugerties and mournful backstories?). There's certainly lots to do, but at this price you can probably afford the reno. Best of all, it's on Band Camp Circle, so you can spend your out-of-town weekends endlessly repeating "This one time? At Band Camp?" (NSFW). $37k.
This isn't in Saugerties, though it's just up 23A, but it's a Craigslist ad and not listed on Realtor or Zillow which means it may disappear any time. It's an inoffensive, 20ish year old doublewide on an acre of land and it would sorely benefit from some tree plantings to mask its slab-sided doublewideness. The killer here, though, is the proximity to the gorgeous Kaaterskill Falls. To wit:
Amazing. Just reduced from $130k to $79k and described as "must sell." Go, waterfall-loving bargain hunters, GO!
After the jump: links and stats for each, plus a big gallery with a bunch more photos. Happy bargain hunting.
Swan Lake Contemporary, $219,000
Here's the first line of the listing for this Swan Lake contemporary with three beds and three baths: "OWNER SAYS SELL AND WILL ACCEPT ANY REASONABLE OFFER." Always a nice place to start. I'm feeling a little less gung-ho about Swan Lake since a few have written in to say that the lake itself is not so delicious — more a body of water to look at than to swim in. But if that doesn't stop you, this is a nice size and a nice price, with a motivated seller. Last purchased in 2002 for $175,000 by a Manhattanite. It's also for rent, for $1750 a month. If you can get that, you could cover your mortgage several times a year. Stats on the jump.
Swan Lake Villa Rental with Pool
I got wind of this four-bedroom chalet-ish rental on Swan Lake through the local parents listserv in my neighborhood, and it caught my eye. Hilltop pool! 360-degree views! Mod furnishings that look more Heywood Wakefield than IKEA! It says its on 10 secluded acres, which I did not realize was a possibility on Swan Lake. Hm.
Perhaps most interesting is the rental price. Starts at $350 per night and $2500 per week. A similar property, with five beds and three baths, in need of a designer's touch, is $165,000. Let's say you spend $100,000 renovating and adding a pool (is that too modest an estimate, if the property only needs cosmetic changes?) — I still think you could make most of your mortgage and expenses back if you rented it out for one week a month. The house above is a world more appealing than other Swan Lake rentals I've looked at, so that's a lesson, too: if you want to make a little income off your country house, beautify it right.
Lakefront in Millerton, $429,00
This place is more than I want to spend, but if your budget is up to a half-mill and you want water, proximity to NYC and to be close to lovely Millerton, I would definitely take a look at this. It says Buckminster Fuller-inspired, and perhaps by that they mean it has a triangular window? Not huge, with 1,900 square feet and two beds plus sleeping loft, but it has over an acre of land. And it's just NICE. I'd happily curl up on a couch in that living room. What about you guys? It's gone down $70,000 since it was listed in August. Stats on the jump.
Rhinecliff Cottage for $289, 900
Oh, how I love you Rhinecliff! You're Rhinebeck's cool, goth little sister—literally edgier, as you're right on the cliffs overlooking the Hudson River. (Get it?) Pretty, glossy Rhinebeck is just a couple miles away, so your residents can take easy advantage of her charms, while enjoying your ready access to the Rhinecliff Amtrak stop and gorgeous river views. Plus, you have the best white person Chinese restaurant in New York, with its porch overlooking the river.
As Rhinecliff is a tiny hamlet of relatively tiny Rhinebeck, it doesn't have a huge selection of real estate stock, so I was thrilled to see this pretty little country house on the market. We often get asked by our readers (and I get asked by my renters), "Do you need a car to access this one?" While the answer is always yes—honestly, basics like grocery shopping and going out to eat are impossible in most Upstate counties without wheels—-this one is within walking distance of the train station. The house is small, on a small-ish lot, but it has a nice established garden and that American Gothic feel so common in Rhinebeck. I'm not crazy about some of the updates, but it is in move-in condition. Stats on the jump. Read the rest of this entry
Catskill Creek Cottage for Sale for $139,500
I don't quite agree with the realtor's description of this post and beam Catskill Creek cottage as a "jewel box," but I do think it has a lot of appealing features. I love hand-hewn beams and stonework, and the pitched ceiling gives this little house (625 sq. feet) an airier feel. The real selling point, though, is the Catskill Creek location. The cabin's deck overlooks the creek as well as historic Black Bridge, making this one a good fit for kayaking and swimming hole enthusiasts who want to spend more time outside than in.The house is winterized, with both a natural gas furnace and a stone fireplace to keep you toasty when you're Upstate snow-shoeing.
The cabin is on the outskirts of Catskill village, so you'd have convenience—and neighbors, though this one does feel private. Interesting back story, too: according to property records, this house was bought in 2002 for $1000. I wonder what it looked like then.
Stats and map on the jump. Read the rest of this entry
Town of the Week: Kingston
A lot of Upstate weekend visitors overlook Kingston, the Ulster County seat and one time capital of New York State. Granted, many parts of Kingston don't have that immediate postcard-worthy charm of smaller Upstate towns, especially if you're coming to Kingston to do your shopping at one of the big box retailers or the mall.
The suburban sprawl you find once you leave Kingston's lovely downtown area (more on that in a second) probably isn't going to win any converts, but if you do end up moving Upstate, and you're not planning on becoming a homesteader, you may find you want to be within a close driver of the bog boxes as you'll eventually end up in need of them from time to time. (On a related note, I don't think I could overpraise Kingston's superb local supermarket, Adams Fairacre Farms on the 9W strip. Stocked full of local produce and products at very competitive prices, it also has suburban-sized wide aisles, a great garden center and amazing selection. For Adams alone, Kingston is worth a second look.) Read the rest of this entry
Calvert Vaux Riverfront Gothic Revival in Newburgh for $369,000
Cher's post yesterday about the Newburgh Tuscan wonder inspired me to go upmarket today. Newburgh's housing stock offers a ton of Victorian mansions and quasi-mansions, so you have your pick of the litter if you want to live like you're in Clue.
This 1850 Newburgh Gothic Revival has lots of selling points, first and foremost the panoramic river views and that spacious double lot, something of a rarity for urban Upstate river town properties. There's off-street parking (though no garage), a wood stove in the kitchen, and tons of lovingly restored detail. This house has pedigree, too. It was (likely) built by the famed Calvert Vaux. Vaux is best-known for collaborating with Frederick Law Olmsted on Central Park, but his work can be found allover the Hudson Valley.
The house has been on the market for about nine months, and the seller cut the price by $6,000 back in June. More pics and stats on the jump. Read the rest of this entry

Congratulations! Your baby has turned now 7 months. Now you need to be more attentive towards your little munchkin as he/ she has already started grasping the things around him/ her. He/ she may have probably started rolling too.
As you have already introduced the solids to your baby in 6th month, so you can continue with the foods that you have started and you can add some foods too. Do remember if you introduce some new food, then there is a 3-day rule for the same. You should give that food for 3 days so that he/ she can adapt to its taste and you will also get to know if that food is causing your baby some allergy. It must be noted that the food should be freshly prepared and don't offer him/her raw vegetables. Vegetables and fruits should be given in pureed form to your baby. Make your baby's food chart and follow it properly.
Here are some of the important tips that what kind of food is to be given, what food should be avoided and how it should be given in your 7 month baby food chart.
Moms, remember never mix two new foods together. Introduction of new foods can also cause him constipation or diarrhoea. Be careful while feeding.
Happy Motherhood!
