Here is another animal that mom saw at the Ft. Worth Zoo. Flamingos! There were a few different types at the zoo, and this orange/pink one is an American flamingo. This kind is the tallest flamingo found in the Americas.

The Not-Too-Young -To-Run Movement by a coalition of Civil Society Organisations on Friday at a meeting urged National Assembly to transmit the Not-Too-Young-To-Run bill for Presidential assent.
Samson Itodo, one of the conveners of the meeting told newsmen in Abuja, that 35 states had passed the bill, which sought the reduction of age for those vying for elective offices.
Itodo said the movement was inspired by the compelling need to restructure the country's political system toward addressing the issue of age disparity into electoral offices.
He said: "The Not-Too-Young-To-Run Movement received with pleasure, news of the transmission of the constitution amendment from state houses of assembly to National Assembly on March 1, 2018.
"The bill, which is set for transmission to the President is the next and final stage in the amendment process of the 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
"With the passage of the bill by 35 state assemblies, the bill has met the constitutional threshold prescribed by Section 9(2) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
"The section stipulates that any amendment to the constitution must be approved by at least 24 state houses of assembly; this is a landmark achievement and we commend states that passed the bill.''
Itodo said the passage of the bill and final accent by the President would mark a significant milestone in youths' participation in the 2019 elections as the bill would mainstream the youths into electoral offices.
He added that President Muhammadu Buhari recently described youths as the strength and future of the nation, saying his administration would create an enabling environment for youths' potential to be maximised.
He said: "As a movement, we want to remind President Muhammadu Buhari of his promises to the Nigerian youths and our determined quest for true people's constitution anchored on the principles of inclusion and equality."

Reviews Larynx by Malcolm Hast presents the author's experimental work, but contains a good review of the history of the study of phonation. The Measurement of Middle Ear Function by Jon Shallop contains a complete discussion of middle ear functioning, the current methods employed in evaluation, and explanation of the procedures and how they are interpreted. Measurement of Hearing by Tests of Speech and Language by John O'Neill deliniates the parameters involved in listening to and processing speech, and how these affect test performance . He explains the rationale for speech tests and their educational and clinical implications. The Study of Linguistically Deficient Children by Donald Morehead reviews numerous studies of language acquisition in both "normal" and "deficient " children. It contains references to studies conducted of sign language acquisition in deaf children, and considers the deaf child separately from the "language-deficient" child. Esther F. Miller, M.S.A.

This book points out that a very large number of children are denied an education in the United States. Some children are put to work when they are very young. Others have physical handicaps, learning disabilities, behavior problems, or language problems. Others may be excluded simply due to poverty, lack of transportation, or outright discrimination. The consequences to the child and to society are clearly explained. The book is written with great clarity and contains many useful tables of information. There are also many striking photographs . It is an excellent analysis of a problem that is often overlooked. As the authors point out: "We owe these children more of an education than nothing at all." Lowell Myers, J.D.

Why say InshaAllah | Get 3 FREE trial Quran and Tafseer Classes
Always say InshaAllah,Saying, 'Insha'Allah' (If Allah Wills) when Determining to do something in the Future
Allah says in the Holy Quran:
The importance of saying InshaAllah
When the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) declared the unity of Allah and proclaimed to be the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) and the revelation of the Divine Message. The disbelievers in Mecca sent men to Jewish rabbis in al-Medina and said, "Ask them (the rabbis) about Muhammad (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam), and describe it to them, and say what he says.
They are the people of the first book, and they have more knowledge about the prophets than we do. "Then they left for al-Madina, they asked the Jewish rabbis about the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam), who described it to them and told them some of his teachings.
The rabbis said, Ask him about three things that we will tell you to ask, if he answers them, then it is a Prophet who was sent (by Allah); if he does not, then he says things that are not true, in which case the way you deal with him will depend on you. Ask him questions about young men in ancient times, what was their story? Because there is a strange and wonderful tale. Ask him about a man who traveled a lot and reached the east and west of the earth. What was his story? And ask him about Ruh (soul or spirit) what is it?
If he speaks to you about these things, then he is a prophet, so follow him, but if he does not tell you, then he is a man who makes things, so act with him as you see fit. the men came back to Mecca and said, "O people, we have come to you with a decisive solution that will put an end to the problem between you and Muhammad (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam)." The Jewish rabbis told us about ask about what they were, then they came to the Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) and said, O Muhammad (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) told us , 'and they asked him about the things they were told to ask.
The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "I will tell you tomorrow what you asked me." But he (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) did not say, 'Allah willing'.
Allah Messenger (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) never said anything except with revelation. So, he waited for the revelation of Allah, but fifteen days passed without any revelation about what the disbelievers had asked, and Jibel (alaihis-salaam) did not come to him either. The people of Makkah began to doubt him and said: 'Muhammad (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) promised to tell us the next day and now a fortnight has elapsed and he has not told us anything in answer to the questions we have asked. '
The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) felt sad because of the delay in the revelation and was saddened by what the people of Makkah said about him.
Then Jibreel (alaihis-salaam) came with the revelation of Soorah al-Kahf, which contained answers to the questions and also the verse mentioned above explaining the correct etiquette when determining to do something in the future.
Determining to do something in the future should always be attributed to the will of Allah, who is the knower of the unseen and who knows what was and what has yet to happen and what should not be.So what about to make ourselves Always say InshaAllah.
If Sulaiman (A.S) said InshaAllah:
It is reported in Sahih al-Bukharee of Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said:" Sulaiman Ibn Dawood (alaihimus-salaam) said: ' Tonight I'm going to visit all my seventy women (according to some reports, there are ninety or a hundred women), so that each of them will give birth to a son who will fight for Allah. So we should Always say InshaAllah . "We told him, (according to a narration," said an angel to him), say: "Allah willing," but he does not say it, he has gone round the women, but none of them gave birth except one, which gave birth to a half-trained child. "The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihe wa-sallam) said:" By the one whose hands are if he had said, "if Allah wills it he would not break his oath, and that would have helped him achieve what he wanted. "[Sahih Muslim (vol 3, no. 1275)]
So, if we decide to do something in the future or even to take an oath, he should say, 'If Allah wants i' or 'InshaAllah'.forget to say, InshaAllah then he should say when he remembers even if it is a year later, as explained Ibn Abbas (radhiallahu anhu).So Always say InshaAllah.

Treatment of Panic Disorder: Long Term Strategies

- How to Read a Study Record
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) with or without medication has been used in the treatment of panic disorder (PD). The purpose of this study is 1) to determine whether nine months of maintenance cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) significantly improves the likelihood of sustained improvement; and 2) to determine the acute acceptability and efficacy of medication therapy or continued CBT alone among patients who fail to respond sufficiently to an initial course of CBT alone.
It has been found that patients with PD respond as well to CBT or medication alone as they do to a combination of the two. Since the combined treatments are expensive and CBT is associated with less risk of medical toxicity compared to medications, CBT alone will be used first.
All patients will first receive CBT alone. If the patient responds to this therapy, the patient will be assigned randomly (like tossing a coin) to 1 of 2 groups. One group will continue to receive CBT (maintenance therapy) for 9 months. The other group of responders will not receive any further therapy. If a patient does not respond to CBT alone, he/she will be assigned randomly to 1 of 2 different groups. One group will receive paroxetine; the other will continue to receive CBT for a longer period. The response to treatment will be evaluated to see which regimen works best to treat PD. The study will last approximately 3 years.
An individual may be eligible for this study if he/she has panic disorder with no more than mild agoraphobia (fear of being in public places) and is at least 18 years old.
|Condition or disease
|Panic Disorder Agoraphobia
|Behavioral: Cognitive behavior therapy Drug: Paroxetine or other medication - algorithm used
|Phase 3
To determine if maintenance CBT produces a more sustained improvement among patients with panic disorder (PD) who respond to an initial course of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) alone. For those who do not respond sufficiently to CBT alone, to determine if the addition of pharmacotherapy is acceptable and if this improves response among those inadequate responders to CBT alone.
This multicenter study builds upon the findings of a prior study comparing imipramine, placebo, CBT, and their combination in the treatment of PD patients with no more than mild agoraphobia. That study found response rates were as high with CBT or imipramine alone as with their combination. Given the added cost of combined treatments, it therefore seems reasonable to begin with monotherapy. Further, following general principles of medical practice, it would be reasonable to initiate treatment with the less invasive cognitive behavioral intervention. It is then important to learn what should be done following initial treatment.
All patients initially receive CBT alone. Patients are then randomized into 1 of 2 post-acute studies, depending on response status. Responders are randomized to a maintenance study comparing no maintenance with 9 months of continued CBT. Nonresponders are randomized to a study comparing paroxetine with continued CBT. The following outcomes will be examined: the necessity of maintenance therapy in maintaining response; the ability of adjunct pharmacotherapy to improve the response of patients who did not respond to CBT alone; possible predictors of response and relapse; and possible mediators of response.

Beads are used for prayers, protection, worries, money or adornment, beads have been important to us for as long as civilization has existed. The history of beads is long and rich. Glass was unearthed about 3,400 years ago, and since then has become a very critical material for the bead-maker, user and wearer. Lampwork beads are made using a "lamp" or a flame as the heat source for liquefying the glass. Now lampworkers will usetorches to heat the glass to a molten state and gather it on a steel rod. Canes of glass are mixed, melted and coaxed into the many colors, shapes and designs seen today.
Some allegedly credit the Egyptians for devising faience beads, others say the process was developed in ancient Mesopotamia then subsequently imported to Egypt. This procedure involves combining clay with lime, soda and silica sand, shaping it around a straw or other object to form a hole and firing it. The heat will actually melt the silica sand and lime forming a glass-like substance that coats and is incorporated into the clay. This gives a hard glass-like bead look which makes a beautiful bead. The Egyptians were manufacturing glass beads in 1365 BC.
They basically blend metal salts with silica sand and lime to fabricate different colors. Cobalt produced blue, tin white, copper green and gold red. At that time glass was used by the Egyptians almost exclusively for beads for ornamentation. Mummies were often shielded in a beaded netting, some with religious symbols worked into them.
As you can see beads have been around for a prolonged time. It is almost bridges the gap from the ancient times to the modern times. Also beads will continuley be utilized whether because of a fashion statement or used to say a prayer. Beads will always be a necessity in human civilizations. Who knows what the future will bring in regards to how beads will be utilized only time will tell.

An International forum in Almaty, KazakhstanRead more
Last year, Internews' partner Dobrye Vesti, an online platform, launched a campaign, in partnership with national media outlets, aimed at raising public awareness on the ubiquity of workplace-based sexual harassment and its impact on the status of women in Kazakhstan.
In Central Asia, as in other parts of the world, "fake news" and propaganda are becoming more prevalent and citizens are starting to understand that they need to take measures to combat the onslaught.
In December 2017, the President of Kazakhstan signed a series of amendments to the country's media law (Amendments and Alterations to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Information and Communication).
"The irrigation network is the canvas on which life will embroider its stories; and in the process of creation, it is essential to see very clearly all aspects of future life." This outlook informed its author,
Internews will be focusing on reporting on the environment and natural resources in Central Asia under a new project financially supported by the European Union.
Sharing solutions and content allows outlets to stay in business.
Local independent TV stations in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan are providing citizens with a platform to showcase their successes and call attention to problems they encounter in their communities.

5/7/2020 • End of Year Banquet Went Virtual
4/25/2020 • Recruiting in the Time of COVID-19
Lemont Furnace, PA- The University of Maine Fort Kent men's basketball team dropped a hotly contested game this afternoon to NAIA & USCAA power Rochester College, 69-56.
The Bengals dug themselves a 15 point half time deficit and could never quite work their way back. They did work themselves back to 10 as the defense tightened up, but as has been the story all season, the Bengals could not make shots. UMFK was only 4-15 from 3, and just couldn't get one to fall when they needed it most.
Sophomore Joe McCloskey had a career game with 26 points and was unstoppable inside for the Warrior defense. His array of moves kept UMFK in the game the entire way. Qaadir Ali chipped in 14 points, Marquis Glenn 11 and James Givens 5, but those four players were the only scorers in the game.
Rochester was led by Paris Pereira who scored 22 including 15 in a dominant first half. The Warriors were far more balanced with four other guys scoring at least 6 points.
The Bengals will try to right the ship tomorrow in the 2nd day of a back to back to back schedule against Penn State Fayette at 1:00pm.

The Revenant
February 5, 2016
An unforgettable experience was given to me by the thrilling, new movie, Revenant, a few weekends ago.
The year is 1823, Hugh Glass (Leonardo Dicaprio) leads a group of American fur traders on an expedition through densely populated Canada with his Indian son named Hawk.
In the meantime, a group of Arikara Indians called Rees roll through the land searching for the chief's daughter. After a devastating attack on the trading camp, Glass and what's left of the expedition jump into a fishing boat. Later on, assuming they are being watched on the river, they decide to disembark.
Hugh, scouting ahead of the group now, gets mauled by a grizzly bear and becomes near paralyzed. He is later found and dragged across a path to find a way back to Fort Kiowa, the closest outpost which is 100 miles away. After difficulty reaching the fort due to Glass' condition, John Fitzgerald, who is another man on the trip, decides the best way to get back to the fort is to kill Glass.
Fitzgerald, unable to get a chance to kill Glass, convinces the others that the Indians are coming and they ditch Glass in the woods.
Glass, now set for vengeance, travels over 1500 miles in terrible conditions with countless setbacks for one thing, to kill Fitzgerald.
This movie is the best movie I have personally seen in years. Leonardo Dicaprio played an amazing roll and the movie is really based on a true story. Most true stories that make it to the movie industry are exaggerated. While this story is also somewhat exaggerated, it was filled in with unique aspects of things that happened to other people on the frontier.
The movie stands at two hours and 36 minutes but is suspenseful the whole way. Dicaprio has been criticized for his very few speaking lines in the movie, but once you watch it is easy to understand that there is no reason to speak more than he did.
The beautiful scenery was captured when the movie was filmed in Northern Canada, the harsh environment was perfect for the film. Not to mention that the cold conditions that averaged negative nine degrees while most the movie was being filmed. The weather and location helped make the movie what it is.
The unique mixture of music made the movie more dramatic and emotional. The goal was to make the movie as realistic as possible and included Dicaprio climbing into a real animal carcass.
The movie title truly flourishes a deep meaning. Revenant literally means an angry spirit that comes back to life. My favorite part of the movie is a quote by Glass that speaks for itself, "I ain't afraid to die anymore. I'd done it already." The different emotions evoked by the movie is what makes it a great film. The fact that this actually happened is shocking.. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, it was very interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Beta This is a new way of showing guidance - your feedback will help us improve it.
Specialist inspectors might be involved in an investigation either as part of the investigation team (albeit with specialist knowledge) or as an independent expert witness. The specialist knowledge of inspectors involved in an investigation may allow them to be treated as an expert witness in the event of a prosecution. It has been held by the Court of Appeal in a civil case that the fact that an expert may be the employee of one of the parties to litigation would not debar him/her from giving expert evidence. The same principle applies to inspectors acting as experts in HSE prosecutions.
However, the roles of investigator and expert witness may be mutually exclusive, and a specialist inspector may not be asked to act as expert if s/he is directly involved in the investigation. The decision as to whether an 'independent expert' is required, and who it should be, rests with the procurator fiscal.
Whilst a specialist inspector may advise the investigator(s) on the gathering of evidence, such as questions to put to witnesses or to a suspect, if a specialist has been appointed (or is intending) to act as a potential expert, s/he should remain independent of the investigation and should be seen to do so: s/he should generally not take statements as part of the investigation or attend an interview of a suspect under caution - see Operational Procedures. If a specialist inspector (who is not to act as an expert) attends an interview under caution the fact of their specialist expertise should be disclosed.
[back to top]
Expert witnesses enjoy three privileges over ordinary witnesses of fact:
An expert witness may give opinions to assist in resolving issues concerning matters of knowledge which can only be acquired by special training or experience. His/her role is to assist the court or jury on matters where their ordinary, everyday experience does not enable them to adequately consider the issues in the case.
The facts on which the expert's opinions are based must be either admitted or proved by admissible evidence. Usually, such facts are established by other witnesses but they may include facts observed by the expert him/herself.
An expert's opinion must be objective and unbiased. Although a defendant will be entitled to call their own expert evidence, it is the duty of an expert witness instructed by the prosecution (and indeed an expert witness called by any defendant) in a criminal case to act in the cause of justice. An expert's duty to the court overrides any obligation to the party instructing him/her and s/he should maintain professional objectivity and impartiality at all times whilst complying with the rules of evidence.
The responsibilities in relation to expert evidence are shared between the expert and the prosecutor, but it is the prosecutor who has overall responsibility for the case; the expert is expected to assist with that task.
The duties and responsibilities of expert witnesses in criminal cases have been summarised and include the following:
It is the responsibility of the person managing the investigation to manage the use of specialists, deciding how they should be used and ensuring that experts remain independent.
Any correspondence with an expert pertaining to his/her instructions may be disclosable and the defence will be entitled to see it. Whilst instructions to an expert explaining what is being asked of him/her will normally be recorded in formal correspondence (and see also the section 'The report'), the defence may also be entitled to see any "informal" correspondence.
When an expert witness is instructed, it is important that they understand what is required of him/her. They should be referred to this section of the Enforcement Guide and also the section on disclosure mentioned above. The expert must fully understand that s/he has an overriding duty to assist the court and should not feel prevented from providing information that might prove detrimental to the prosecution case. In order to meet that overriding duty, s/he is under an obligation to assist the prosecution with the statutory requirements relating to disclosure. The expert should be reminded of this obligation, which takes precedence over any internal codes of practice or other standards set by professional organisations.
Those instructing an expert will need to think carefully about what information should be supplied to him/her. An expert enjoys particular privileges arising from his/her qualifications and expertise. Those privileges, in particular the ability to put opinion evidence before the jury, can be undermined if it appears that his/her opinion has been improperly influenced. Any material provided to the expert should be listed in the original and any subsequent instructions. The expert should not be given material (such as internal prosecution or investigation reports) which is likely to contain opinion evidence from people other than witnesses of fact or other experts. The defence is entitled to see all material provided to the expert by those instructing him/her and therefore sensitive or privileged material must not be supplied.
Experts should not be asked to conduct tests that will only favour the prosecution. Investigators should pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry, and this means that tests that might undermine the prosecution case should also be commissioned.
Responsibility for directing the investigation remains with those instructing the expert. If the expert believes that further work or information is required, or if s/he changes his/her evidence, s/he should communicate this to the person managing the investigation. Discussions with experts should be recorded, as they are clearly relevant to the investigation (and disclosable), particularly any discussion in which additional information is provided to the expert.
Experts should be reminded that a failure to comply with their duties could have a number of adverse consequences, including the delay or halting of the prosecution case, the overturning of any conviction and criticism of the expert by the judge, which might result in referral of the expert to any relevant professional body. Such consequences might prevent him/her from acting as an expert in future.
If questions remain about the role or instruction of experts, advice should be sought via your legal liaison point.

Well its done. After all those months the Eastern Region Textile Forum has been well and truly launched with a conference that was packed to the rafters. The day disappeared in a blur even though I did have the urge to do a runner just before I was confirmed in the post of Chairman . The phrase 'oh help, what have I done' just kept running around in my head.
We had 3 excellent short talks in the morning from Ann Wise of the Warner Archive, Alison Couchman from an educators viewpoint and Annette Morgan speaking as an exhibiting artist. These sparked off much discussion and a framework was put into place which will probably take about 20 years to fulfill completely.
The afternoon was less hard work when James Hunting- 2006 Embroiderers Guild Scholar, Artist,Tutor and all round great human being took to the floor.His talk about his work and the value of organisations such as the forum was just what was needed to round off the day.
So now the real work begins- an enthusiastic committee (we weren't short of volunteers - I always knew Textile Artists are special people) was formed and we start our 'great work'.

On May 11, AmeriCorps members from across the state flocked to the Mount Washington Conference Center to attend this year's Destination AmeriCorps (DAC). This event was birthed in 2010 by AmeriCorps members for AmeriCorps members. It has since blossomed into a mecca for members and one of Volunteer Maryland's annual events. This year we doubled our attendance and the sunny weather did not hurt either. Thank you to the programs represented and the members who made this a memorable event for all of us!
DAC event aside, I pose the question "Was your destination really AmeriCorps?" I am asked this question frequently because I am going to be lawyer and some people don't see the connection. AmeriCorps was not a back up plan for me. I wanted to be part of the AmeriCorps network because I knew the positive impact members have on the United States and I wanted to join the movement. I was not ready for law school two years ago, but I wanted to gain substantial experience in public interest work. Naturally, I chose Volunteer Maryland. Being an AmeriCorps is anything but a year (or two) off! I feel more prepared for a career in law now that I have served with Volunteer Maryland for two years. During AmeriCorps Week, I shared the skills I have developed since joining AmeriCorps two years ago. The list has grown since then and I will be forever grateful to AmeriCorps.
A hand full of my colleagues are wanting to join AmeriCorps for the first time, or continue for another year because of the professional and personal benefits! If you are currently serving as a member or an alum, was your destination AmeriCorps? For programs hosting members, why were you interested in having an AmeriCorps member at your site?

When it gets cold in Hanoi, banh gio cravings arise
Among the myriad Vietnamese dishes made with rice,
be it main courses, side-dishes or snacks that are meals in themselves, the

More than a bowl of noodles, "pho" is history
There are many theories regarding its origin. Some
say it started as a variation on pot-au-feu, a French beef stew dish. Others
believe it's the heir to a Chinese beef noodle soup or to a traditional
Vietnamese dish of noodles with buffalo meat. What is certain is that "pho",
a simple yet deceptively complex dish of noodles served with beef or chicken in
a hot bowl of broth, has become Vietnam's pride on the world map of cuisine.

Mikal of Danne (pronounced mee-KAHL) is a nobleman of Tusaine and husband to Aenne of Danne. In July of 434 HE[1] he is sent to Tortall as ambassador and part of a delegation to negotiate the matter of the Drell River Valley.
Ambassador Mikal only appears as a minor character in In the Hand of the Goddess. There, he is described as being arrogant and thinking that King Roald was weak rather than quiet. It is also mentioned that Duke Roger was conversing with him at a evening party. Later that evening the ambassador witnesses the duel between the disguised Alanna of Trebond and the Tusaine knight Dain of Melor, where he can't help but be impressed by Alanna's fighting skills.[2]

Hi guys, does anybody have a preferred HyperRanking method or in fact method(s) in order to reach ultimate?
Hi guys, does anybody have a preferred HyperRanking method or in fact method(s) in order to reach ultimate?
1) Buy Premium Bots from Bot-Supply to make puzzling easier
2) Get an IO map.
3) Sail a ship there. Enter the IO while on the Nav board (to get the engage/disengage button). Then jump on the puzzle within the IO (and only this time, youll never leave the station again).
4) Click on "engage" and puzzle for 3-5 minutes. (e.g Incredible puzzling throughout that session)
5) Click on "disengage" (not dismiss! ) and either repeat step 4 or take a pause to cook food, toilet break e.t.c.
-> Repeat the cycle of engaging the IO, puzzling for 3-5 minutes and then disengaging. Never leave the station.
If you should mess up your score at one point just puzzle for longer. The more sessions/DRs you generate the better. It means you overwrite your entire scoring record (e.g past 100 DRs) with good scores.
Have fun.
Who do you think you are?
Ive gotten Number 1 from engaging directly afterwards
Guys, thank you for your swift replies. I will be trying this out soon!

Inmate deaths in the Florida prison system are up 20 percent over previous years. Last Friday, The Florida Department of Corrections released information that 428 inmates died last year. On average, the inmates who died have been younger than in previous years.
Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown covers the prison system extensively. She joined the program to talk about the different issues present in Florida prisons.
The Florida prison system has struggled to provide adequate preventive and medical care for inmates over the years, explained Brown. In addition, the gangs, inmate-on-inmate violence and drugs are pervasive issues that affect the inmate community of Florida's prisons.
However, there is not a clear answer as to why more inmates died last year. The FDC has begun an internal investigation.
Advocacy groups, Floridians for a Fair Democracy, Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and the American Civil Liberties Union, are leading the initiative to restore voting rights for qualified former felons.
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Ken Detzner announced that the initiative met the required 766,000 signatures to get on the November ballot. For the first time in Florida history, voters can decide to grant to right to vote to more than 1.5 million disenfranchised people.
Florida is one of three states that permanently revoke the civil rights of anyone convicted of a felony.
Overtown Institution
In Overtown, the Jackson family has run successful restaurants since 1946. All began with Mama's café, a comfort-style soul food restaurant with strong community ties, which served locals and celebrities alike.
For more than 30 years, Jackson Soul Food restaurant, overseen by Shirlene Jackson Ingraham, one of the 12 Jackson children, has continued the legacy set by her parents.
Jackson Soul Food business manager Ayesha Ingraham joined the program to talk about the success of this establishment.
"Soul food is cooking from your soul," said Ingraham of the food served at the restaurant "We have that season and special touch."
The menu features many favorites: hand-made biscuits, pork or turkey-laden collard greens, mac' and cheese, but the fan favorite is the catfish, which can be prepared to the guest's taste.
"We offer variety," said Ingraham about catering the food to customers' needs.
Jackson Soul Food has had continuous support from the community and vice versa. The establishment has thrived mostly because of the Jackson family's constant involvement in the Overtown community, explained Ingraham.
Jackson Soul Food is open seven days a week with locations in Miami at 950 NW Third Ave. and Opa-locka at 14511 NW 27th Ave.
Shock, gore and infatuation are themes that are prevalent in some Bible stories, theater and opera productions alike. Richard Strauss' opera "Salome," inspired by the New Testament story of King Herod's court and all its depravity, has mesmerized audiences since it was first performed in Vienna and London in the early 1900's. "Salome," with all its gore, debauchery and enthrallment, is ready to spellbind the South Florida audience.
Strauss' rendition of "Salome" is being presented by the Florida Grand Opera. Soprano Kirsten Chambers sings the title role and tenor John Easterlin plays her stepfather, Herod.
The opera revolves around the enchanting effect of Salome's beauty. She catches the attention of King Herod and Narraboth, but fails to enamor prophet Jochanaan (John the Baptist), Salome's object of infatuation.
The 90-minute opera is set in real time. "It is a very dysfunctional family," Chambers said about the relations between Herod and Salome and the other characters who are infatuated with her. "It's a lot of emotion happening at warped speed."
The opera features a nine-minute dance routine dubbed 'The Dance of the Seven Veils.' The dance, possibly shocking or controversial for some audiences, features Salome dancing seductively for Herod, in order that he fulfill any of her desires. The dance concludes with Salome stripped and exposed for Herod. "With Salome, there is no halfway," Chambers explained. "You either decide if there is going to be a big reveal or no reveal."
This production of the Strauss opera explores the tropes of the male gaze, appearance and finding love. Salome, who's ogled by her stepfather and others, is enticed by Jochanaan's reluctance to see her as a sex object, but cannot handle his rejection of her.
Strauss' "Salome" is a one act opera based on Hedwig Lachmann's German translation of the French play "Salomé" by Oscar Wilde. It is inspired by the New Testament description of the stepdaughter of Herod II and Herodias, who, prompted by her mother, demanded the head of John the Baptist on a platter after the saint condemned her mother's marriage.
The name Salome, found engraved in several coins found in the ruins of Herod's palace, led historians to believe this was his stepdaughter's name.
Five performances are scheduled Jan. 27-Feb. 3 at the Ziff Opera House at the Adrianne Arsht Center.

It already feels like Spring in Maastricht!
Feeling the first warm sun rays of 2015 on my skin made me feel so happy and enthusiastic about this year's spring and summer! Although spending the cold and dark winter nights in bed with a hot chocolate is not too bad, I prefer being outside, getting active and enjoying the fresh air with my beloved ones. But that's not the only thing I like about spring. I feel like spring and autumn are the best seasons when it comes to fashion. It's the time, when it is all about layering, allowing you to create so many different combinations, throwing together your winter and summer clothes. Even if you wear all your favorite clothes at once, its quite likely that your look will turn out great!
So, the look I want to present you today actually combines some winter clothes with summer clothes in order to create the perfect spring look! I am wearing some of this year's absolute must haves:
- A distressed Mom-Jeans - yess, it reminds a lot of Beverly Hills 90210 right?
- A white off-shoulder crop-top - showing a bit of belly skin is absolutely fine again!
- A long-cardigan
- A gold statement necklace - adding a little boho touch to the clean look!
Although many people associate spring with wearing colorful clothes, I prefer light and natural shades. I think beige, white and denim is the perfect combination.
However, with spring arriving, summer is also getting closer and closer, which means that we really need to get rid of the extra pounds that have kept us warm during winter. It's time to get active again and having a cool, new outfit gives us some extra motivation to go and work out. Therefore I bought a nice new and colorful look that will support me in getting fit again hopefully!

Attractive & thrifty! Pringles canisters are great for storing spaghetti.
With the new baby, I have an overabundance of random-sized canisters. They can be super useful even if they are no longer being used for storing formula or, in the case of the tall one, Pringles. Again, I hit Pinterest for some ideas. I saw some canisters covered with fabric and some covered with scrapbook paper. I chose to use scrapbook paper simply because there seems to be a greater variety of pretty, small patterns and one sheet will cover a lot of area. I Mod Podged like a maniac and then spray painted the lids a coordinating color (gold in this case). They turned out quite nice.
I added a divider to the interior of the larger Enfamil canisters. I plan to keep balls of yarn in them and thought the divider might help keep the yarn from tangling. (I prefer outward pull yarn balls. Crazy, I know, but…

Uncle Irvin: Stranger than fiction
By Richard Gaw
It is strange indeed that an exotic fly infestation would remain silent for at least six years around here.
In the Feb. 24 Chester County Press, reporter Richard Gaw, who has covered New Garden Township for five years, wrote about a disease-carrying fly that was just brought to the attention of New Garden Township Supervisors in a public meeting.
The phorid fly that has been bothering residents of Harrogate, an over-55 development, is super reproductive and can be found in refuse, sewer containment soil and mushroom compost. It has been infesting Harrogate homes for at least six years ... and it was first brought public at the Feb. 16 New Garden Supervisors meeting!
New Garden Township Manager Tony Scheivert told the supervisors that he has already contacted several agencies and representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture about the matter. Why elected officials would "sit on their hands" for years without doing something about this is just as puzzling as why it would take Harrogate homeowners six years to start screaming.

Review copies of upcoming Spring book releases are starting to arrive, and one that has caught my attention is Magnificent Baths: Private Indulgences from Baroque to Minimalist by Massimo Listri. (Rizzoli, 2012.) I've long been a fan of Listri's gorgeous interior photography, so it was a nice treat for me to see a book devoted solely to his photographs of baths. These aren't ordinary bathrooms, mind you, but ones that are, as the title says, magnificent. The kind of baths about which many of us can only dream.
While the book is comprised of a mix of traditional and contemporary baths, it's the old and old-looking baths that appeal to me most. Hyper contemporary bathrooms don't do a thing for me, but if you like them, you'll find those as well in this book. The book's text is minimal, but that doesn't detract from the book as it's really about the photos, and beautiful ones at that.
Take a look below at some of the baths that caught my eye. If you're a fan of Listri or if you simply love to look at photos of stunning baths, then you should consider adding this book to your library.

While it would be hard to pick a favorite, I am taken by the toile lambrequin-like apron at the basin at the Chateau du Champ-de-Bataille.ReplyDelete
All of these are beautiful and luxurious, even if it seems that they had a sale on those sarcophagus bathtubs. I suspect I would also like the modern examples.ReplyDelete
For me to really admire a bath, it has to be practical also. For instance, lots of fabric and prints don't look as though they would take a lot of steam, and some of those tubs look too deep to step into easily--although that might just be an optical illusion.

Classicist- That is a very lovely bath and just what one would expect from Jacques Garcia.ReplyDelete
Kippie, Hope you enjoy it!ReplyDelete
Oh... just adore every image + Must have that book. xxpeggybraswelldesign.comReplyDelete
Parnassus- I completely agree, and I'll add that it needs to be easy to clean too. What good is fancy tile and marble if you can't clean it easily?ReplyDelete
