The project comprised the construction of a new Deluxe stand-alone six bedroom unit within the existing hotel grounds. The traditionally built units are externally faced with traditional Norfolk black stained timber boarding, complemented with pantile roof which has been constructed with a double pitch and centre valley to minimise the impact of the new development.
The emphasis of the whole project has been one of a high quality finish which is complementary to the level of service and cuisine delivered by the Michelin star hotel.

A patent refers to the exclusive right to do something. It is also mostly referred to as a copyright. These rights are provided for legally making them legally enforceable. Getting a patent is quite a tedious procedure. There are several considerations that one as to put in mind. The cost of obtaining a patent is of paramount importance. This is because patents are obtained at a fee and this fee varies.
There are some legal provisions to be met as
per the patentable subject matter that should be met for products to be patented. It is beneficial to check if your product can be patented as per the legal provisions.This will save you the energy of going through with the process if your product does not qualify. Your new idea should give the opportunity for offering utility. This means that the innovation should be useful in its field of practice. This idea should be at its first instance meaning that it should not have been brought forward before making it new.
The innovation should not be an obvious thought making it unique. Some energy should have been utilized in coming up with the idea. The information regarding the idea should not be public making it confidential.
There are three general categories of patterns. These categories cover various items that can be patented. The first category is the utility patent. It is available for ideas that govern processes such as improvements to products already in existence. Design patents are available for the protection of how a product appears. Newly invented products which did not exist prior to this event are patented under the category of plant patents.
As already stated patents can be quite tedious. Enlisting the help of legal attorneys will make this process easier. Patent attorneys will offer you the much-needed guidance throughout this process. It is therefore very important to employ the service so f patent lawyer. The attorney should be knowledgeable on the field of patent laws. The website will search for this topic will spare you the time spent on searching for one manually. It will give you a wide range of alternatives to select your desired attorney. Once you settle one, agree on a certain amount of fee and let them start their work. It is a clever move to obtain a patent for your business. Creatives and other innovative individuals should be encouraged to patent their ideas.

Cumulative impact: Why prison sentences have increased*
Published online on February 15, 2019
--- - |2 Abstract Why has the probability of going to prison after a felony conviction increased since the early 1980s? Social scientists often try to answer this question through macro‐level research that is aimed at examining correlations between prison admissions and crime rates or sociopolitical characteristics of states. That type of macro‐level inquiry, however, does not allow for a close examination of how characteristics of offenders changed over time, and whether such changes are consequential for understanding trends in the use of imprisonment. In the current study, I take a different approach—one in which case‐level data are observed over a lengthy time span—to investigate why the likelihood of going to prison for a given crime persistently increased for several decades. The results of analyses of more than 350,000 felony cases sentenced in Minnesota during a 33‐year period show that the probability of a defendant receiving a prison sentence increased from 1981 to 2013, as would be expected. The primary reason for the rising probability of imprisonment was the significant increase in the average offender's criminal record, which more than doubled during the observation period. - 'Criminology, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 157-180, February 2019.

The NSW Government has approved changes to Eurobodalla's local planning rules to provide certainty and opportunity for farmers, landholders and businesses; while continuing to protect native flora and fauna.
Member for Bega Andrew Constance said Eurobodalla's Local Environmental Plan now reflects Council's Rural Lands Strategy, which sets out a 20-year vision for the Shire's rural lands.
"The Rural Lands Strategy is a fantastic result for our entire region and I thank Mayor Liz Innes and the Rural Lands Committee, along with our community for bringing about this fantastic result for Eurobodalla.
"Changes have been made to planning controls, such as zoning, land uses and lot sizes to encourage a vibrant commercial agriculture sector, increase rural living opportunities and support the growth of rural business opportunities.
"With its beautiful beaches, plentiful parks and fertile farmlands, Eurobodalla Shire truly is one of our State's more enviable places to live, work and visit," Mr Constance said.
Eurobodalla Mayor Liz Innes welcomed the approval of the amended local plan.
"This is such a great news story for the Eurobodalla, and I am looking forward to seeing us reach our economic potential as we now have greater opportunity for rural producers to map our region as an amazing food tourism destination," Ms Innes said.
"This approval is the culmination of years of consultation and strategic planning and brings to life our Rural Lands Strategy.
"I would like to thank our local community and also Andrew Constance and the State Government for recognising the contributions over many years and providing our region with yet to be discovered opportunities that will now be possible.
"Our Rural Lands Strategy will guide our rural land uses over the next 20 years to improve opportunities for farmers, businesses, landowners and visitors, whilst protecting what we love most about our shire.
"With 83 beaches, four major river systems and lakes and more than 80% of land covered by national parks or state forest, our natural beauty has been always been the centre of the deliberation on these changes," Ms Innes said.
Mr Constance said "development will still go through the same rigorous assessment process it always has. However this Rural Lands Strategy will provide options and opportunities that support tourism and rural economic development, whilst continuing to adhering to state and federal planning and environment legislation.
"The Government carefully considered seven sites identified by the NSW RFS to ensure fire trucks are able to gain access to future rural properties, that requirement has been met," said Mr Constance.

Morning Training Camp Injury Notes (Oct 4)
In Monday night's game between the Jets and Senators, Winnipeg forward Drew Stafford suffered an upper-body injury after crashing heavily into the boards in the 1st period. He will likely have to go through all the protocol checks and a diagnosis will likely come in the next few days. For now, Stafford will be considered to be day-to-day, unless otherwise noted, but the Jets do open the season on the 13th, home to the Hurricanes, so there is still some time before he's required.

The United States is both a major producer and consumer of energy, producing more than 70 percent of its total energy consumption. We are self-sufficient in virtually all our energy resources except for natural gas and oil, and natural gas imports come mainly from Canada. By far the most important shortfall is in the oil sector, where we import over half of our needs.
Following the oil shocks of the 1970s, the United States and other leading economies have diversified their sources of supply, largely through increased production in the Western Hemisphere, the North Sea and West Africa. Today, U.S. oil imports come from four key countries - Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
The rate of growth in U.S. oil demand has slowed significantly since the first oil shocks because of substantial increases in energy efficiency, particularly with regard to transportation, buildings and appliances.
The energy intensity of the U.S. economy has declined by 30 percent since 1970, meaning that we have reduced the amount of energy required to produce each unit of economic output by nearly one third. Nevertheless, based on current trends, the United States will be importing around two thirds of its oil requirements by 2020, even assuming increased efficiencies.
That trend is evidence of a larger problem, which is a geopolitical market problem. The bulk of the world's low-cost reserves and the spare capacity lie in a very volatile region of the world.
We must think long term. We are not interested in setting arbitrary, near-term targets for import dependency that are unachievable.
We would prefer to develop energy technology, achieve the breakthroughs and reduce the cost of alternative technologies, while facing the reality that we must increase domestic supplies of energy to accommodate America's projected economic and population growth in coming decades, ultimately relying on free energy and technology markets to set the optimal outcomes.
In any case, our energy security concerns extend beyond the availability of our own oil imports, a fact that often gets lost in the debate. The oil market is global, and energy security for the United States is linked not only to our energy supplies, but to those of our trading partners.
Any serious and prolonged disruption in energy flows from any one region in the world could adversely affect our economy and those of our trading partners, even if our own energy trade was not physically disrupted.
The world oil market, not the U.S. oil market, sets the world oil price. And the world oil price strongly influences U.S. domestic gasoline prices and, through a substitution effect, the price for natural gas.
In our dialogue with major oil producers we have repeatedly received assurances that they oppose the use of oil supply as a political weapon. Oil market instability harms producers and consumers alike, and we are confident that producers would work for market stability.
There are other measures that consuming countries could take, if needed. In the United States, for instance, President Bush has directed that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve be filled to its 700-million barrel capacity, a level that it has never reached before. It is now at over 600 million barrels, the highest level ever, and climbing.
We are currently in the process of filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) through a royalty in-kind program, whereby the federal government receives royalty payments from production on federal leases in the form of oil, rather than cash. The oil is then deposited in the SPR.
Working with its allies in the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United States also participates in an emergency response system that can put strategic stocks on the market to mitigate any cut-off of physical supplies. The IEA member countries currently hold stocks representing about 114 days of imports.
Forecasts for oil export capacity growth by country show that among the fastest growing sources will be the countries of the Caspian Basin, Nigeria, Canada and Russia. While there are exciting developments in these areas, however, the Middle East still holds some 67 percent of the world's proven oil reserves, and the Persian Gulf holds 90 percent of the spare oil production capacity.
With its huge, low-cost reserves and spare production capacity, the Middle East will continue to play a pivotal role in the world oil market for years to come. That is one reason why, in our ongoing dialogue with suppliers, our contacts with Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, are of prime importance.
One place for productive discussions with Saudi Arabia is the International Energy Forum (IEF), which seeks to bring consuming and producing countries together to share perspectives. We are pleased that the IEF's secretariat will be based in Riyadh, at the invitation of the Saudi government.
While the main role of the secretariat will be to further the dialogue between producers and consumers through support of the IEF process, it also plans to focus on improving the data that serves as a basis for the functioning of the world oil market.
The IEF has been instrumental in building support for oil market transparency through better data and has lent its support to the Joint Oil Data Initiative, the goal of which is to accelerate and improve the availability and timeliness of data and to harmonize key data across countries.
In our efforts to increase and diversify sources of global energy, we welcome Saudi Arabia's desire to negotiate a $25 billion natural gas investment program with several international oil companies. The project has had some fits and starts, but we remain hopeful that the negotiations will prove successful.
This initiative could serve as a bellwether for foreign direct investment in other sectors of the Saudi economy, and should help to expand economic growth and employment opportunities for Saudi Arabia's growing population.
We are also optimistic about Kuwait's $7 billion plan for foreign oil companies to develop Northern Kuwaiti oil fields; and we think Qatar serves as a good example of the progress that can be made through opening an economy to outside investment.
Qatar offers a good business climate for foreign investors, and its national oil company, the Qatar Petroleum Corporation, has a long history of joint ventures with U.S. companies. Most of the approximately $10 billion in direct investment in Qatar's economy is in the energy industry.
The United States also recognizes Russia's pivotal role in the global energy market. Russia has vast oil and gas resources, and the development of those resources significantly increases the diversity of supplies to the world market. Russia is the second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia.
Last May, President Bush and President Vladimir Putin launched the U.S.-Russian Energy Dialogue. Under it, we have engaged Russia in an in-depth energy dialogue through energy and commercial energy working groups.
We are also planning annual Commercial Energy Summits, the first of which was held in Houston in early October. That meeting brought together not only officials of our two governments, but also Russian and U.S. energy executives, to talk about deals and opportunities that we think will bear fruit.
In the Caspian, we actively support creating an East-West energy corridor that will allow energy from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to reach world markets at competitive prices. We support efforts to build multiple pipelines so that the Caspian Basin will continue to be a rapidly growing source of reliable new energy supplies.
These efforts are intended to complement, not distract from, our support for Russia's efforts to develop its energy export potential. President Bush has stressed cooperation with Russia on Caspian energy development, and we view this as a win-win situation.
West Africa also has significant potential. Offshore, deep-water operations in Nigeria, Angola and Equatorial Guinea look increasingly promising. Some experts believe that West Africa's production capacity could rise by 58 percent by 2010, from 4.3 million to 6.8 million barrels a day. West Africa is a particularly attractive source of energy because of the quality of its crude.
Venezuela is our fourth largest oil supplier and one of our largest regional trading partners. In our energy dialogue with Venezuela, we support U.S. energy investors and encourage the liberalization of Venezuelan rules on foreign direct investment. We support Venezuelan moves to open up the natural gas sector with the participation of U.S. companies.
Our objectives are to further the concept of a free trade area of the Americas, underscore the importance to Venezuela of a good investment climate, and advance talks about a bilateral investment treaty.
There is also a robust energy dialogue between the United States and the European Union and its member states, such as Britain and France. There are many similarities in our approaches, for example, to nuclear power and promoting technology as a means to address the long-term challenge of global climate change.
Finally, we put a lot of emphasis closer to home in North America. We would like to see Canada develop its full oil and gas potential and expand its energy trade with the United States.
We have moved to expedite the authorization of cross-border energy projects, with both Canada and Mexico, which we view as extremely important. We will do all in our power to make sure that Canada and Mexico develop their domestic energy resources, each in their own way, at their own speed and in full respect of their sovereignty.
The United States has the infrastructure and the capability to expedite construction of the facilities required to bring gas, electricity and oil efficiently over our borders from these two neighboring countries.
As part of our longer-term program to diversify our energy supplies, we are funding research into advanced fuel technologies, particularly hydrogen fuel cell technology. The Department of Energy has implemented a new partnership with automakers to accelerate the development of advanced, fuel-efficient technologies such as hybrid gas-electric and hydrogen fuel cells.
And the fiscal centerpiece of the tax incentives in the President's National Energy Plan - which were devoted only to renewable and emissions-free energy - is a consumer tax credit for a hybrid and fuel cell vehicles.
Robert C. McNally, Jr. is Special Assistant to the President on the White House National Economic Council. Previously, he was a Vice President of Tudor Investment Corporation where he was responsible for monitoring and evaluating fiscal and monetary policies in G7 and emerging market countries.

This is the first time the Lekie team has reached this stage of the competition since its creation six years ago in 2011.
Just a few years after its creation, they will be representing the country in the next edition of the CAF Champions league.
On the classification table, Eding is followed by Cotton sport and Apejes, while Young Sport finished on the 8 spot, in spite of the promising performance they had in the competition.
The relegation Zone is composed of Racing of Bafoussam, Lion Blesse and the famous Canon of Yaounde.


text: There's a word that comes to mind when I think of Toddlers. That wordsl is "BUSY!" This is what happens when you don't get dinner cooked fast enough. It's hilarious. When things like this happen, I really believe its just time to slow down and laugh. My son is only 1 1/2 (20 months) years old so I can't be too mad. He's very independent and figured that I was moving to slow with dinner. He opened the pantry and reached for the biggest thing he could find, my delicious white cheddar Skinny Pop! Lol. He will learn how to sweep soon enough.

So Essie recently came out with their new gel couture line, of nail polish, and it is absolutely amazing! I picked up two colors as well as the top coat a couple of weeks ago, and I am so impressed! Normally my nail polish chips after a day or two, but this lasts so much longer than their regular formula. I was a little skeptical because these are a little more expensive than their regular polishes, but 100% worth the money in my opinon! Now these don't last quite as long as a professional gel manicure that you would get at a salon, but it's probably the closest thing that you'll be able to do yourself at home.
I got two colors as well as the top coat, but the first time I used it I didn't have the top coat, and I feel like it lasted just as well without it. The two colors I got were Zip Me Up, and Looks to Thrill. They are both really beautiful light summery colors. Zip Me Up reminds me a lot of the color Absolutely Shore, it's a really pretty pale, pale green shade, and Looks to Thrill is the perfect light orange-peach color, which I love for the summertime.
Overall, I think these gel polishes are amazing! Even though they are a little more expensive than the regular polish they are so worth it, and I will definitely be purchasing more of these in the future!

I Can Remember
JoAnne replied to Raspbernie's topic in That's Rock 'N' RollI remember...I was 14 years old and my sisters girlfriend brought over a 45 of Go All the Way. The very first time that I listened to it, I was mesmerized and fell in love with the Rasberries! At the time, I especially loved the lead singers voice and still do. I have been a fan of the Raspberries and Eric Carmen to this day. Eric, your music is so invigorating, refreshing and just makes myself and many fans feel happy and alive compared to the music and lyrics of most of today's music and talent. I thank you for the very special memories, the music and your website!
Happy Birthday Eric!
JoAnne replied to Raspbernie's topic in That's Rock 'N' RollHAPPY BIRTHDAY, Eric!!! You have blessed us for many years with your musical gifts! May you have many more to come. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JoAnne
Is This How You Keep Track Of All Of Us?
JoAnne posted a topic in SpotlightHey! I love this new website, but is this how you keep track of who logs on and who logs off? Be careful, Big Brother's watching! I'm sorry to assume this, but this is what it looks like to me.

What EC fans listen to?
JoAnne replied to aggiesjc's topic in That's Rock 'N' RollListening to Eric Carmen as # 1, I also enjoy Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Brooks and Dunn, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Boston, Alice Cooper and Alice in Chains, that I can think of. I basically like any type of music except for RAP, Rythym and blues or any singer that has a high-pitched screaming screetchy voice or ubangi-native sounding music.
Eric Carmen is the BEST EVER!
JoAnne replied to All by my self's topic in That's Rock 'N' RollEver since I was 14 yrs. old and I first heard "Go all the way", I fell in love with Eric Carmen and the Raspberries. I'm 43 and I love Eric's music to this day; for a musician to compose and to sing his/her own music is a divine gift and Eric is blessed with that! I listen to Eric's music when I want to feel alive, energetic, sexual, happy and to just feel emotions. To me, this is what a talented musician is all about.
Eric's Hair
JoAnne replied to Julie's topic in That's Rock 'N' RollHello Eric fans! Personally, I liked Eric's hair in his "Change of Heart" album. I guess I'm just stuck in the 70's and 80's!

Can you imagine creating an architectural model in one-to-one scale and in real-time? What would that do for your design process? And for the way you innovate architectural experience? Well, Google is unveiling a virtual reality paintbrush which allows one to create three-dimensional design forms to human scale. By wearing a headset and waving a hand-held paint-brush tool, a designer can create a virtual world limited only by their imagination.
You may ask yourself: Would I like to experience my design as I imagine it? Would my creative process be faster and of higher quality if I could experience my designs on the fly?
An amazing opportunity which surfaces with such a virtual reality paintbrush is the ability to experience a design in multi-sensory dimensions. For example, if the paint-brush tool creates virtual spaces with specified materials, it may also be possible to specify acoustic spatial qualities which can also be experienced through the headset. Thus, the Google virtual reality paintbrush is a step in the right direction for architecture practitioners as it allows them to see deeper into their designs at much earlier phases in the design process.
To see how Google's virtual reality paint-brush works, please watch the following video:
As the boundary between physical space and virtual space blurs, it is interesting to note how the virtual is being integrated into the physical world…and not just the other way around. What if such a virtual environment could coexist with a physical environment? How could architectural spaces be made to have even more valuable impact upon building occupants? I can see such "virtuality" injected into museums to express a message or into schools for exciting and engaging experiential learning.
And what if such a virtual human-scale environment was interactive? What if occupant behavior or choice could actually alter the environment? What if the environment that one occupant experiences virtually is different from what another occupant experiences?
Such questions as those posed above carve a path for how architectural practitioners can use such virtual reality tools in a way that expands what current-day environments can do for occupants. By thinking of such tools as having positive effect for both architectural design processes, and for architectural design outcomes, it becomes possible to innovate occupant experience like never before. This is the power of what a new tool can bring when it is placed into the hands of design practitioners that guide their tools creatively.

An unwelcome consequence of living in a world where everything is "easy" is that the only skill that matters is the ability to multitask. At the extreme, we don't actually do anything; we only arrange what will be done, which is a flimsy basis for a life.
We need to consciously embrace the inconvenient — not always, but more of the time. Nowadays individuality has come to reside in making at least some inconvenient choices. You need not churn your own butter or hunt your own meat, but if you want to be someone, you cannot allow convenience to be the value that transcends all others. Struggle is not always a problem. Sometimes struggle is a solution. It can be the solution to the question of who you are.
A good life is not always an easy life.

A few things are changing for me at the moment, I'm about to start a new job, my partner and I are looking for somewhere to live (hopefully closer to work), plus I have to work full time and find a moment to get some study in. And here I am asking where all the time goes.
We all have such busy lifestyles these days, either with work and the running around, or study or even managing families. I don't have any kids, and I wonder what kind of anarchy I would be organising if I did. I've just had 4 days off and I don't even know where they went. I didn't get to catch up with anyone, all we did was look at houses and try to catch up on the housework.
Where did all the balance go?
I start night duty tonight, so it means I have the day free which should be used to try and get some sleep in. Instead I have shopping to do, Tupperware catalogues to drop off and houses to see, yet I was still wondering where I was going to get my workout in at the gym. My partner cooks dinner when I'm working nights, but yet again my day seems to be taken from underneath me.
Where did all the balance go? When do we play?
In order to get some balance back into our lives, and because we felt like we never really spent a great deal of time together, we created a rule while I'm studying. No uni after dinner, and there must be one free day from responsibilities, for play. It works really well, it means I can only study before afternoon shifts, for 2 hours after a morning shift or on my days off. We also get the house work done after the last shift of my work week, laundry is another story but it's not as time consuming.
It's ok to complain about things, but at some point you have to do something proactive for the better. We have such different schedules it's hard to keep up with each other too. But, I find if we don't plan ahead we don't fall behind.
I like to plan our week before my work week begins. I make a meal plan which really only involves dinners as lunches are mostly at work for me and uni for my partner. I make sure the house is still clean before I start my first shift of the week and I do the grocery shopping before starting work too. It means there's food in the house, no need for take out, I try and make one meal that creates leftovers so we have a quick option when we're both too tired, plan study sessions for uni and theoretical trips to the gym.
Granted life doesn't always go according to plan and there is no routine in our house because I'm on a rotating roster, but that's why we develop the skills to improvise. If I can't make it to the gym I try and do some yoga at home, if the house work falls behind we work together to get on top of it, and if uni is behind we forfeit a night where I don't do it after dinner, but the strict rule is that this isn't a normal routine.
Most importantly is to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, take one day of rest a week, this is why we keep one day for no errands, no housework and no uni commitments. It might be as simple as fishing and a picnic, then coming home to a roast for dinner and movie night. But, even that is down time.

Peoples Reviews About Bio x keto:
Paul K Michelle: Bio x keto is one of the best weight loss supplement I have ever used. I was so
depressed due to my bulky figure and I prefer to stay at home and avoid social gathering due to my
obesity. This formula helps me a lot to fight against my obesity and make me more energetic at
the gym. I get my desired body shape in just 2 months and now I am using this product on daily basis just
to stay fit.
Smith D Cerry: From the young age I was so irresponsible about my diet and health, as a result, I get so
much fat around my arms and belly area. I feel so bad when someone calls me fatty or something
like that. I search for a solution for my problem and I saw bio x keto and I order it. No doubt it was a
risk for me. But now I am using this product for a year ago. In the early use, I feel minor irritation
and headache but it was only for a week. I lose almost 50 pounds and now I am slim and smart and I
am always been thankful to Bio x keto to make me fit and healthy.
Ferry59: This product really works. It's my personal opinion and recommendation for everyone who
is suffering from a fat disease or a heavy figure. I am consuming it from past 6 months and I am very satisfied
and happy with it. It makes my stomach feels full for a while and this will leads me to eat less.
Richard Dawkins: Me and my best friend using this product. We both were bulky and, as we are boys
we can't be able to talk to girls because body fat decreases our confidence level and make us look
bad and unattractive. We search for weight loss products and order this and from the first week of
consumption, it makes a lot of changes in our body. This product enhances physical performance and
reduces the body fat stored in hard areas of our body. Now we are using this product on daily basis
just to get in shape.

For many of us, our relationship with God is a primary part of our lives. During difficult times, God is an anchor and a comfort for some. For others, even if we have a relationship with God, He may seem distant or withholding. No matter where you are in this process, your faith story matters. God desires for us to be in relationship with others...and he knows the deep pain of broken relationships. Knowing that you will not be judged for your thoughts or actions, and having a counselor who supports your faith can lead to a deep emotional and spiritual healing.

In some churches, psychology is viewed as humanistic and leads people away from God. Conversely, psychological theorists viewed Christianity as harmful and results in psychopathology. As a Christian Psychologist, these views are rejected. Instead, a Christian psychologist understands the value of scripture and disciplines that encourage growth in a relationship with God. A relationship with Jesus is vital in helping a person struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems. The goal of Christian counseling is in helping a person to understanding the thoughts and emotions that can limit a person from thriving and encouraging growth in a relationship with God and others.

You follow all the rules, attend church, and believe that the Lord is for you; but nothing is as you had hoped it would be. What happens when life is turning out the way you thought it was supposed to? Where is God? Is it ok to even ask that question? Why do all of the other Christians seem to have their lives together? Together we will explore your faith, it's foundations, and what beliefs you may have that are based more on Christian culture than on Biblical Christianity.

My doctoral studies at Biola University, working at various Christian counseling centers, and teaching at Christian universities have combined to help me understand and appreciate how psychology and theology are intimately connected. Often times our experience of God is intertwined with our experience of others, and both need to be explored and understood simultaneously. Even if your current struggles seem unrelated to your relationship with God, you may still seek a place where your faith is an integral part of your healing. I have extensive experience counseling those with psychological and/or spiritual concerns, so my clients do not have to sacrifice or ignore any part of themselves.

I am a Christian faith-based therapist with my office at my church. Everything we go through is a spiritual challenge. Our ability to handle life is based on our connection with God. When we are tight, (in vertical alignment), we are able to handle our challenges and follow as He requires. When we not as tight, we fight, control, argue, decieve ourselves and don't allow God to lead us as He needs. Surrender is vital to Christian life and therapy.

My Christian clients come to me because they want to work with a therapist who shares their biblical orientation to life and growth. I attended Focus on the Family's extended training on the integration of Christianity and psychology in the early 1990s to develop my approach to Biblical counseling. It is my experience that Christians are looking for the same kinds of changes in their lives and relationships that secular clients seek out, and along with these want to find God's purpose and meaning in their suffering. Finding and maintaing an eternal perspective while reconciling current life issues is the added dimension my Christian benefit most from.

There are certain advantages Christian's have over non-Christians in terms of overcoming problems. There is a framework that is developed through the reading and application of scriptures in your life that helps us connect to the ways, God the Creator has intended us to live. This enables us to produce the "Fruits of the Spirit" as mentioned in Galatians 5 such as love, joy and peace. The answers are in the bible, but sometimes it is difficult to apply it to our everyday lives and problems. It is helpful to have an expert to guide the process in releasing God's best for you.

For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that.

I received both my masters and doctoral degrees, along with related training, at Rosemead School of Psychology, one of the leading schools in the country focused on the integration of Christian faith and understanding of human nature with clinical counseling. Our faith can be an important, even central part of our lives. For many people having a therapeutic relationship where this part of themselves can be explored and where they can be open about their faith and relationship with God is hugely important. I understand this importance and so I provide an open, understanding space for addressing challenges, fears, and fostering personal and spiritual growth in a Christian context.

The presence of God in therapy can be experienced when there is a more direct and open dialogue. As we become more present to each other a sacred space is created. The "space between" where we meet each other and the possibility of the Divine presence. This healing presence has power to transform you and your circumstances. As the philosopher Martin Buber once said,"Religion is Presence."

Vicar Street May 18th
Tickets priced €25 on sale now from www.ticketmaster.ie & outlets nationwide
"If the short story sounds like a rather retro genre for the man whose comedy has always been relentlessly cross-platform, the tales are as absurd, surreal and pitch black as his fans have come to expect." – The Guardian
Scotland's internet cult hero and comedy television star Limmy makes his Dublin debut at Vicar St on 18 May 2017 . Join Limmy for a night of storytelling and chit chat as he introduces his second book, That's Your Lot, featuring stories that are dafter and darker than before. Includes audience Q&A and book signing.
Brian 'Limmy' Limond is truly an online institution for fans of absurdist Vine clips, bizarre "thinking out loud" tweets, candid webcams and contorted selfies. With a quarter of a million Twitter followers Limmy can command an instant audience for his provocative humour. Originally garnering infamy for his daily podcast Limmy's World of Glasgow, he found wider success with his BBC comedy series Limmy's Show, which has earned him a Scottish BAFTA.
Scottish culture magazine The List listed Limmy at number 14 in their Hot 100 list of 2006, which celebrated the people who made the biggest impact on cultural life in Scotland over that year. Throughout the years he has performed infrequent live comedy shows and made cameo character appearances such as the unintelligible Glaswegian window-cleaner in one episode of the IT Crowd, or his regular guest spot on Charlie Brooker's news satire show News Wipe.

The Detroit office is located in the same building as the new Elijah J.

The Detroit location provides an on-site location for Brinks and its domestic and international clients to participate in on-site patent examination and administrative trial proceedings.
Brinks now has offices at both USPTO locations with its Detroit and Washington, D.C. national offices.
Kelly K. Burris, formerly a shareholder in Brinks' Ann Arbor office, is the managing partner of the new Detroit office of Brinks, and she is joined by Brinks shareholder Margaret Dobrowitsky and associate Keith D. Weiss.
Burris chairs Brinks' Green Technology Practice Group and focuses her practice on patents in the mechanical, electrical, and materials science arts.

Product Recall Code Launched for Consumer Products
The UK government's new Office for Product Safety and Standards has launched the first code of Practice (PAS 7100) for product safety related recalls.
"Code of practice on consumer product safety related recalls and other corrective actions"
This new code of practice is targeted at two audiences:
- Businesses producing, importing and distributing non-food consumer products
- Enforcement authorities
The document is split into two parts accordingly. It states that "For business – the Code will help manufacturers, importers and distributors prepare fully to deal with any product safety issue that might arise with their products." Whilst "For local authorities – the Code sets out the guidance and advice they should make available to enable businesses to meet their legal responsibilities and act in the public interest."
Product Recall Plan and Incident Response
Part I provides guidance for businesses on: preparing for a product recall, monitoring safety of products, investigating potential product safety issues, procedures for dealing with a product safety issue and reviewing corrective action procedures. In short, it provides advice on preparation of a Product Safety Incident Plan (PSIP) or product recall plan. This includes key elements: Traceability, Monitoring, Legal notification, Risk assessment, Decision making, Communications, Training, Testing and Review. There is useful content on the incident management process from learning of a potential product safety issue, through decision making, action and review.
The Authorities
Part II, the regulator section, describes how the authorities may be able to assist companies outside an incident in an advisory role. It also explains how authorities can assist businesses during a product safety incident in addition to their enforcement role. This support sounds positive and companies should understand how best to engage with their authorities before and during a product safety incident.
RQA's View
- This is a useful guidance document containing many elements that will help consumer product manufacturers to prepare their product recall plan. It will also aid them in understanding their responsibilities and the actions required by enforcement authorities in response to an actual incident.
- Time will tell if the authorities' budgets and human resource allocation will meet the aspiration of support and advice to businesses as described in the Code.
- The Annexes include details of the RAPEX risk assessment methodology; this is the EU method as defined in EU legislation (Commission Decision of 16 December 2009). It also includes the Nomograph method applied in Australia, New Zealand and Slovenia. The Nomograph method is a simpler method, and it is a little surprising to see its inclusion in the code of practice as it is the RAPEX method that is referenced in the EU and used by EU authorities. It is for this reason that RQA always apply the RAPEX method when assisting clients who have potential safety issues with products in Europe.
- The Code specifically states "Producers, importers and distributors operating in the UK should each have a PSIP in place." This is very good advice as without a plan, businesses will struggle when faced with the complexities of a product recall.
- Disappointing that this "Publicly Available Specification" costs £90. Whilst that is not a financial problem for most businesses, it will restrict the flow of this document through open transmission over the internet and limit access from the general public, academia etc. For example, PAS 96:2017 on "Defending Food and Drink…" is a free download from the BSI website.
- Development of this PAS was sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) following a recommendation of the Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety (WGPRS).
- This PAS is not to be regarded as a British Standard.

text: Yup they actually brought this to court, it was rejected. They wonder why folks are starting to see cops as thugs in uniform well this is part of it. They wonder why some people who used to believe in the TV ideal of cops and used to give cops the benefit of the doubt are rethinking this. Yes these cops actually used 2nd Amendment and Stand Your Ground as arguments. art

Today is International Women's Day. It, alongside the whole of Women's History Month is a time for celebration and reflection, to honour the women whose endeavours have brought us closer to gender parity, and to consider how we can take the movement for women's liberation forward.
This year's IWD theme is Be Bold for Change. These titles remind us of women who were bold for change and of the women that need us, in turn to be bold. They bring fresh insights into women's contributions to science and society, positioning them as invaluable radical thinkers and fearless pioneers. They also consider violence against women and the portrayal of Pakistani women in the media.

Sleep Studies
We can help figure out what is impacting your sleep
Aurora BayCare's Sleep Wake Center is accredited by the America Academy of Sleep Medicine. We diagnose and treat the full spectrum of sleep disorders.
To determine whether you suffer from a sleep disorder, sleep specialists may study the quality and characteristics of your sleep using one or more tests:
Overnight Sleep Study
A polysomnogram, also referred to as a sleep study, records sleep and breathing function. Approximately 25 sensors are applied to the surface of your scalp and other parts of your body to monitor brain waves, breathing, eye movement, heartbeat, leg movement, muscle tension, and oxygen levels.
These sensors monitor your body's functions while you sleep and send that information to a computer for analysis. A polysomnagraphic technologist and a sleep specialist review the data in order to diagnose sleep disorders.
The body sensors are applied so that you can move easily while sleeping, and most people can sleep well with the sensors on. Your sleep lab room is comfortably appointed and conducive to sleep. You will have a private bathroom with a shower and towels. A glue/paste adhesive is used to apply sensors to your scalp, so plan time to wash your hair if you will be going directly to work in the morning.
Nap Study
Depending on the results of your polysomnogram, your doctor may have you do a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), typically the next day. This consists of four to five naps scheduled two hours apart during the day.
During the nap study, lunch is provided. Call in advance of your appointment to let us know if you have any dietary restrictions.
You will be required to stay awake and out of bed between naps. Bring something to read or work on between naps. You may make phone calls, but you will need to avoid caffeine.
Maintenance of Wakefulness Test
This test is conducted in a format similar to the multiple sleep latency test, except you are requested to remain awake throughout the entire study.
EEG Testing Services
EEG testing (electroencephalography) is a neurodiagnostic tool that provides a more extensive recording of electrical activity in the brain. A number of electrodes are pasted to your scalp to record any abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Electroencephalography is a painless, non-invasive test.
Home Sleep Study
If you and your doctor determine that you are a good candidate for a home sleep study, you will be given a portable recorder with sensors that you apply at home prior to sleep. Information regarding your sleep is recorded and stored in the box recorder. When you bring the recorder back to the Sleep Wake Center, your sleep information is downloaded into a computer and the results are compiled and processed for review.
Test Results
Sleep test recordings are often 1,000 or more pages long. A polysomnagraphic technologist and a board-certified sleep specialist interpret your test results. The final report is then forwarded to your referring physician with whom you will have a follow-up appointment to obtain the results.
