Obama really said this Wednesday night:
"I can say with confidence there has never been a man or woman — not me, not Bill, nobody — more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America."
You don't say, Mr. President? So why don't we size up her, uh, qualifications, eminent as they might be, compared to some of the prior, lesser 44 occupants of the office.
Dwight Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander. Hillary ran the Bimbo Eruptions Unit.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Hillary wrote "It Takes a Village."
Teddy Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill. Hillary dodged sniper fire on the tarmac at Tuzla.
Honest Abe, Crooked Hillary.
Lincoln slept in the Lincoln bedroom. Hillary rented it out.
Reagan said, "Tear down this wall." Hillary said, "Delete them all."
William Howard Taft threw out the first pitch at a baseball opener. Hillary threw the first vase at a president.
Gerald Ford appointed Justice Stevens. Hillary abandoned Ambassador Stevens.
George Washington wrote letters to John Paul Jones. Hillary wrote a check for $850,000 to Paula Jones.
JFK said, "Ask not…." Hillary said, "Don't ask."
George H.W. Bush built oil rigs. Hillary rigged elections.
Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Hillary delivered three speeches to Goldman Sachs … for $675,000.
Andrew Johnson was the first impeached president. Hillary is the wife of the second.
Washington could not tell a lie, Nixon could not tell the truth, Hillary could not tell the difference.
Harry S. Truman was a haberdasher. Hillary donated her underwear to charity for a $2 tax write off.
James Madison wrote the majority of the Federalist Papers. Hillary served on the Wal-Mart board of directors.
Truman: "The buck stops here." Hillary: Pay for play.
Calvin Coolidge: "The business of America is business." Hillary: the Clinton Foundation.
FDR defeated Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Hillary defeated Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley.
James Garfield was shot by a disgruntled office-seeker. Hillary was a disgruntled office-seeker.
William Henry Harrison: Tippecanoe and Tyler Too. Hillary: Me Too.
Lincoln: "You can't fool all of the people all of the time." Hillary: "Are you sure about that?"
In 1953, Truman drove his own car back to Independence, Missouri. Hillary hasn't driven a car since 1996.
Washington turned down the invitation to become king. What would Hillary have done?
So yeah, you can see what Obama was getting at, with his paean to Hillary's greatness. Is there room for her on Mount Rushmore? And I'm sure everyone agrees with Barry's assessment — in all 57 states, right Mr. President?

By Jim Bell, CEO, Siloam Mission
** This column first appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press **
How will we keep the homeless safe from a highly contagious virus that's spreading into almost every community in the world?
These days that's the question ringing in my head from the second I get up to the minute I fall asleep.
The truth is I'm terrified of what might happen if COVID-19 takes hold in places like Siloam Mission and other shelters in our city.
We have a duty of care to look after men and women who are at their most vulnerable. And before I tell you how we are planning on keeping them safe, I want to paint you a picture of what happens if we don't.
By the time someone ends up at our doorstep, every other support system has failed them. They have exhausted the help of family, friends, various social services and — in some cases — even the healthcare system.
They are usually struggling to cope with deep-rooted trauma, addictions or mental health issues. And frankly, their physical health is often suffering too.
COVID-19 is a terrifying health emergency for most people. But it's even scarier for people with underlying health conditions — which is most of the men and women who use our services.
Part of what keeps me up at night is that the virus is almost three times as contagious as the seasonal flu. It has almost ten times the hospitalization rate. The case fatality rate is more than 3%, while for the seasonal flu it's about 0.1%.
And because the incubation time can be up to 14 days, it's hard to stop the spread because it's not evident you are dealing with an outbreak until it has already jumped from person to person.
The way most shelters across North America are set up is fairly simple. They have a large drop-in centre that serves as a dining room and living room. And they have a large open-concept overnight shelter space filled with beds a few feet apart from each other.
During colder months, both spaces are packed with people finding shelter from the elements.
At Siloam Mission, we have controlled access to our building by providing indoor services only to those 110 men and women who are also staying in our emergency shelter. These individuals are relying on us for meals in our dining room, where we have implemented physical distancing to keep everyone safe. For those not staying in our shelter, we are serving lunch and supper in bags at the door to those who need us.
So while we are doing our best to protect our community, you can imagine if even one person gets infected with the virus, the community transmission would be fast and swift. And, by the time someone might show symptoms, it could be too late.
Within a few weeks, the entire shelter — including staff and community alike — would be a giant cluster of people infected with COVID-19. And my guess is that many people who use our services would show severe symptoms due to the health challenges they already face.
We can't let that happen.
So here's what we're doing to protect the city's most vulnerable. First of all, the shelters in the city are now coordinating a joint response should a case of COVID-19 be confirmed among our population.
We are working with partners like Main Street Project and the Salvation Army to establish overflow emergency shelter spaces big enough to accommodate social-distancing measures.
We're working to establish individual rooms for quarantines. And we're coordinating with the province to establish testing near shelters.
At Siloam Mission, we made the tough decision to ask all of our volunteers to stay home. We rely on more than 8,000 of them every year, but we simply can't screen everyone well enough to make sure our community members are protected.
This is putting a considerable strain on our resources already, but we're doing it for the safety of every person we serve who is already vulnerable.
The only volunteers who are still coming into our building are medical volunteers — amazingly dedicated nurses, doctors and nurse practitioners who are helping us implement safety measures and educate our community.
I don't know what will happen. There is no global pandemic playbook.
But I do know we will rely on the caring and generosity of Manitobans more than we ever have before. And I also know they will rise to the challenge — like they always have.
Caring also needs to be contagious. That's the only way we'll stand a chance of keeping our most vulnerable safe.

Dubai: More than 2,000 Filipinos have applied for a "No Criminal Record" certificate at the Philippine Consulate-General, a prerequisite for the issuance of the good conduct certificate required for issuing new UAE work permits since February 4.
The "No Criminal Record" issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Manila, popularly known as NBI Clearance, is the good conduct certificate's counterpart in the Philippines.
The requirement is in line with the UAE's new rule for all visit visa holders to obtain a certificate of good conduct from their home country first in order to be issued a work permit when applying for a job in the UAE.
The Philippine Consulate-General in Dubai last week set up an online appointment system for those who wish to have their fingerprints taken at the consulate instead of doing it at the Dubai Police Headquarters.
Some 300 people have already availed of the online appointment system for NBI Fingerprinting since Sunday.
"We assigned one staff who is dedicated to do the fingerprinting at the consulate despite our limited manpower for the benefit and convenience of our compatriots. We have 100 slots per day but all the fingerprinting appointments are now fully booked until the end of March," Consul-General Paul Raymund Cortes said.
"We used to give out 500 copies of the NBI Form 5 daily when the new rule took effect. We eventually had to raise it to 800 per day due to the high demand," he added.
Cortes advised Filipinos who wish to work in the UAE to not come here on visit visa but to go through legal channels, primarily through the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. This way, all these documents, including the NBI Clearance, are processed prior to their deployment for overseas work.
"Presumably, the majority of the Filipinos applying for NBI Clearance here in Dubai are visit visa-holders. Some are switching jobs. For those who are on visit visa, this new requirement could set them back roughly three to four weeks in their job application process."
Cortes said the NBI fingerprinting only takes five to 10 minutes at the consulate for those who come on their appointed date and time. It takes one to three working days for their special power of attorney to be issued.
Once all this is ready, the applicant has to send the document via courier to his representative to process the NBI clearance before it can be authenticated at the Department of Foreign Affairs and then attested by the UAE Embassy in Manila. The whole process could take time.
More community engagement
Meanwhile, Cortes said he will be holding an hourly Facebook Live sessions with the Filipino community every week beginning the end of February.
"These FB Live sessions will serve as a platform for the Philippine consulate, and the government as a whole, to reach out to and engage with the community on the forthcoming projects and programmes of the consulate and the government. It will also allow them to ask questions to make them part of the dialogue to make government more inclusive and for us to become a society that is more attuned to each other's needs," Cortes said.
The move is in line with the Philippine government's thrust to use social media, especially Facebook, to connect the public with their government leaders and allow them to see what the government is doing for them.
To book a fingerprinting appointment
Visit http://dubaipcg.dfa.gov.ph/nbi-clearance-appointment-system. Or secure an NBI Form 5 from the Philippine Consulate and then go to the Dubai Police Headquarters to get the rolled impressions and signature by the police officer. Once done, the applicant may return to the consulate to complete the process.

EMDR Practitioner Toolbox – Treatment of Complex PTSD
This course is created by Vishakha Bhalla under the guidance of Aman Varma who has undergone accredited course training in CBT practitioner, Diploma in Hypnotherapy, Mental Health Practitioner, NLP Specialist Practitioner, Diploma in Psychological Counseling and Diploma in Modern Applied Psychology.
This course has two main goals: to provide descriptions of specific EMDR therapeutic tools and, by incorporating these tools, to develop an overview of an Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model of the treatment of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Complex PTSD).
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a fairly new, nontraditional type of psychotherapy. It's growing in popularity, particularly for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD often occurs after experiences such as military combat, physical assault, rape, or car accidents.
Although research continues, EMDR remains controversial among some health care professionals.
At first glance, EMDR appears to approach psychological issues in an unusual way. It does not rely on talk therapy or medications. Instead, EMDR uses a patient's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements. These eye movements dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of past traumatic events.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has noted that EMDR is effective for treating symptoms of acute and chronic PTSD. According to the APA, EMDR may be particularly useful for people who have trouble talking about the traumatic events they've experienced. The APA guidelines note that other research is needed to tell whether improvements from EMDR can be sustained over time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). Shapiro's (2001) Adaptive Information Processing model posits that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experiences to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.

What is the state of the Southern states when it comes to protecting public health and the environment? We've compiled a handy report card grading each based on the environmental programs and legislation they have in place:
MARYLAND: It's the first state in the country to sign on to the Million Solar Roofs initiative, offering grants to homeowners for installing renewable water heater and electricity systems. The people are eco-conscious, too. Although the state ranks 19th in population, it has the fifth largest number of registered hybrid vehicle owners. The state's Chesapeake Bay Restoration program is ambitious but lacks enforcement and adequate financing. GRADE: A-
VIRGINIA: It was the first state in the country to petition the federal government to reinstate roadless area protection in national forests. Protection of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and James River have been promising but not fully funded. Recently, the state mandated that clean burning ethanol replace the toxic chemical MTBE used in gasoline to further improve air quality. Dozens of coal-fired power plants are slated for construction to accommodate the Commonwealth's burgeoning population, which will only worsen Virginia's already-miserable air quality. GRADE: B
NORTH CAROLINA: North Carolina boasts the strongest state clean air legislation in the Southeast, and Attorney General Roy Cooper recently filed suit against the EPA for weakening federal air quality standards. However, the Smokies remain the nation's most poullted national park because of air pollution from neighboring states. Hog farms in the Carolina piedmont pose serious water pollution problems, and unchecked urban sprawl around Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh-Durham are obliterating forests and farms. GRADE: B-
SOUTH CAROLINA: The state's has managed coastal development better than most, but it has offered few state legislative initiatives to tackle air and water pollution or urban sprawl. It joined Virginia and North Carolina in petitioning for protection of roadless areas in national forests. GRADE: B-
TENNESSEE: In 2005 Governor Bredesen established the Heritage Conservation Trust Act to protect more public lands in the Volunteer State. Tennessee also recently established an alternative fuels working group tasked with creating a strategy to increase the state's use of renewable fuels. The Buffalo Mountain Wind Farm is a promising step, but the air and water pollution spewing from the Tennessee Valley Authority's coal-burning power plants far outweighs the state's lip service to renewables. GRADE: C
WEST VIRGINIA: West Virginia has some of the best wildlands and whitewater rivers in the country, but the state is still marred by the practice of mountaintop removal mining, which levels forested mountains, triggers mudslides, and dumps toxic sludge into waterways. King Coal still rules the Mountain State, but if the mining monarch is ever de-throned, West Virginia could quickly become a crown jewel of outdoor recreation and tourism, which produce far more jobs and economic growth than the mining industry. GRADE: D-
Georgia: Georgia has the longest commute times of any state in the Southeast, and the Georgia Regional Transportation authority has made only modest investments in MARTA and other public transit options. 56% of Georgia's waterways are impaired, including the open sewage ditch known as the Chattahoochee River. Atlanta is the fastest sprawling civilization in human history (really), and despite lots of talk about "smart growth," the state has done little to rein in rampant overdevelopment. In Georgia, your chances of getting cancer from air pollution are an astonishing one in 1,530-the worst state in our region. GRADE: F

How Much Money Do You Need to Start an Online Casino?
If you want to learn how to start an online casino, you would surely be interested in the costs that this kind of business entails. The prices for setting up an online casino are very different, depending on the expectations of the operator. Gaming insiders usually claim that starting an online casino is quite expensive. Contrary to popular opinion, nowadays you can start your own gambling site with at least €6,500, which is a small price to pay for the benefits that such a business can offer.
Operators who want to find out how to start an online casino should know that the cheapest solution would be to open a casino that supports Bitcoin payments. By doing this, you will not need to obtain a gambling license, which costs at least €10,000. You will only need a gambling license if you decide to introduce real money payments for the online casino. Bitcoin crypto-currency integration provided by CasinoWebScripts costs €500.
Thus, if you want to start a Bitcoin casino, you have to purchase a casino management platform and at least one casino game. For example, our company, CasinoWebScripts, created a management platform that contains all the required tools for any operator who wants to manage and find out how to start an online casino. By purchasing a management platform, you will have everything you need to run your casino properly, and have full control over your business. The price for our casino management software is €5,000.
The next step is to buy at least one casino game. The biggest Bitcoin gambling site, Satoshi Dice, offers only one game and has reported earnings of approximately €370,000 just six months after its launch. You can also purchase any game you like, depending on your budget and preferences. Some of the most popular games played at Bitcoin casinos are dice, slots or table games. The cost of a casino game can range from €225 to more than €1,000.
In conclusion, you can start an online casino with minimum €6,500. We would also like to inform you that once you learn how to start an online casino and get your casino up-and-running, you will also have to promote it. It is true that you need to invest a little in advertising your business. Even so, you can save a lot of money by starting a blog about your online casino. This way, search engines will find more useful information about your casino and you will be ranked higher in search results.

Where does bad breath come from?
Our mouths are filled with saliva, mucus, dead skin cells, tiny morsels of food, and millions of bacteria that are feasting on it all. The byproduct of this feast is a number of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which let off an odor known as halitosis, or bad breath.
Reducing Halitosis
1) Solidify your sleeping routine
To minimize halitosis, we reduce the amount of food available to the bacteria in our mouths. To do so, we can adopt a regular oral hygiene practice before and after sleeping. Brushing and flossing our teeth in the evening removes the food and dead skin that builds up throughout the day. This prevents our mouths from becoming a breeding ground for VSCs as we sleep.
Since our bodies regenerate skin cells in the mouth as we sleep, we will always wake with VSCs from dead skin cells. That is why brushing in the morning is the best way to prevent bad breath throughout the day. To protect our digestive systems from these VSCs, we should brush and floss before eating and drinking in the mornings.
2) Drink more green tea
Green tea has been consumed for centuries for many energy and health benefits. On the molecular level, it is known for having antimicrobial and deodorant effects.
In a study done at the Department of Oral Biological and Medical Sciences at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, green tea powder reduced the number of VSCs present in mouth air for up to three hours after consumption. In the same study, chewing gum, mints, and parsley seed oil were found to only reduce effects during use.
Drinking a small amount of green tea or matcha every few hours can help reduce the odors of halitosis.
Try adding local honey to soothe your seasonal allergies, and lemon to add freshness and Vitamin C.
3) Get regular cleanings
Another leading cause of bad breath is tooth decay. When tartar – or hardened plaque – builds up on teeth, the enamel protecting the tooth softens, sometimes creating a hole – or cavity – that rots the inside of the tooth. When this is exposed to the air, it can be quite odorous.
The best way to prevent cavities is to see a dental professional every 3-6 months for a routine cleaning.
Cavities should be filled by a dental professional as soon as they are recognized. They can be detected in their early stages during a regular dental cleaning.
Contact us to schedule your next cleaning today! We are always accepting new patients at Exquisite Smiles.
If you live in South Attleboro, MA; Attleboro, MA; Cumberland, RI; Lincoln, RI; or Seekonk, MA we would be happy to help you address any of your dental concerns.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930)'s flagship phablet Galaxy Note 4 is the newest victim of the bendgate. When the reports of the iPhone 6 Plus bending out of shape surfaced, Samsung tried to exploit the Apple phone's bendgate. It poked fun at its U.S. rival. But now the Korean company's own flagship device is easily bending out of shape.
Bending of Galaxy Note 4 or iPhone 6 Plus isn't a design flaw
Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy previously showed how the iPhone 6 Plus bends under a certain amount of pressure. On request of fans, Hilsenteger tried out the bendgate experiment on the Galaxy Note 4 and its predecessor. The test shows that the Note 3 held up very well against the bending pressure, mainly due to its plastic design and an interior chassis.
"I am a better investor because I am a businessman, and a better businessman because I am no investor" - Warren Buffett In the past, the value investor Mohnish Pabrai has spoken about why investors need to have some first-hand business experience. Pabrai started his own IT consulting and systems integration company, TransTech, Inc, in Read More
But the Galaxy Note 4 with its metal design bends in the same spot as the iPhone 6 Plus. The test proved that any smartphone with a metal chassis can bend. By comparison, devices with a plastic design retain their shape. Therefore, the bending of iPhone 6 Plus or Galaxy Note 4 shouldn't be considered a design flaw. Now Samsung needs to rethink its strategy of criticizing the iPhone 6 Plus.
Samsung delays the UK launch of Galaxy Note 4
In another development, the Korean electronics giant said that the UK launch of Galaxy Note 4 would be delayed by a week. Samsung was scheduled to launch the Note 4 in the UK on October 10. But due to an "amazing interest and demand" for its new phones, the company had to push the release date to Oct.17. Notably, the Note 4 is also scheduled to hit the U.S. market on Oct.17.
Galaxy Note 4 boasts of a 5.7-inch QHD display, a 16-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilization, an improved S Pen stylus, 3,220mAh battery, Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor. DisplayMate's display tests revealed last month that the Galaxy Note 4 has the "best smartphone display ever."
The phone also has a fast-charging technology, allowing its battery to go from 0% to 50% in less than 30 minutes.

11 Disrespectful Things to Do in Nepal – Never Do These Things While Travelling in Nepal

By now, everyone knows about Las Vegas. At least 59 people died. Nearly 530 people were injured. We're learning the names, as well as the fact of the shooter's stockpile, but still, we have no motivations. Since the shooter acted alone, we may never know. We will probably never know. To the families of the victims, there will be no closure and a lot of unanswered questions.
But the most terrifying thing is this: these devils and demons wear human faces. They look normal. They seem normal. Because up to a certain point, they are normal. I know this firsthand, as I could have damn well been the victim of a similar circumstance.
In August of 2013, I was employed as a cashier at my local Wal-Mart. The job was terrible but the hours were relatively steady and the pay was decent enough. As a general rule, I worked in the late morning to early evening; I was mostly a second shifter of a sort. This day, I was in at 10:30.
I used to hate those shifts. Now, not so much.
At 11:15 that morning, we heard something, the sound of a pallet being dropped? The sound of a shelf, collapsing? The rupture of a balloon? It was a loud pop, a sharp bang, nothing terribly noteworthy. The front end fell deeply and eerily silent. No one spoke. No one moved. No one breathed. Then, we heard the screams.
Customers wandered to the liquor store. Managers made their way up front. One of the assistant managers raced by my check out lane, her face ashen, her mascara melting, leaving dark rivulets down her cheeks. We could hear wailing, a deep, rattling howl from the pit of someone's soul, the shrieks of someone who may be injured, dying. Someone had been hurt, but who? Why? What had happened?
The details, when they finally came, were fragmented at best: there had been a shooting. The victim was the cashier who was working in the liquor store. She was taken to the local hospital, in critical but stable condition. The shooter, we found later, was a fellow cashier. She had been carrying two semi-automatic pistols and 22 rounds of ammunition–all legally purchased–when she walked into the building and clocked in that morning. She had been told to relieve the victim for a fifteen minute break; instead, when the shooter walked into the liquor store, she pulled out a gun and fired point blank.
When I heard the word "shooting", I went weak. I wanted to cry. I wanted to go home. I was frightened on a level I had never truly been before. I wanted my husband to come and usher me into our car to rush me to safety but I was terrified that if he did pull into the parking lot, he could be shot as well. Should I hide beneath my register, just in case? Should I run? A thousand, disjointed thoughts raced through my head, jostling against each other. Nothing made sense.
Later in the day, we had a customer in a motorized cart back into a display with a sharp crash. The entire front end, every cashier who was there, jumped. When I saw what was going on, what had happened, I managed a shaky laugh. It was nothing serious; I wasn't about to die.
There were police everywhere. Both they and the company released statements. We knew that the shooter had been apprehended and we were allowed to go home early if we had wanted but the store itself remained opened. Several associates put in their two week notices that day. For some, it was the trauma. For at least one, it was the fact that management wouldn't shut down our Wal-Mart after a violent crime. The company cared more about profit than their employees, he said. I couldn't blame him.
I called my husband on my first break and let him know that I was all right. He hadn't heard of what had happened; he no longer had decent access to a radio and couldn't hear the news. But speaking with him, hearing his voice, tinny over my cell phone, was reassuring. I'd be okay now.
We were handed various sheets on dealing with trauma and how to cope with grief. I kept mine but I can't say whether or not they helped. Even now, years later, I still have some trauma from the incident; hearing someone popping balloons will make me jump. Seeing multiple police vehicles outside of a Wal-Mart frightens me to the point of not wanting to go inside, out of fear that I might get shot. Although I'm better, I still have some PTSD associated with that day. But that isn't as bad as the unanswered questions, the rumors that persisted then and still persist, even now.
There were theories that this was about a relationship gone bad. There were Facebook declarations that there had actually been two armed people in the building. There were reports that our building had been shuttered and we had all been evacuated. None of this was true. But even now, to this day, I have to explain to people that those theories are false.
The biggest innuendo, the most worrisome one to me, was the speculation that the shooter had a hit list. That one actually made sense, all things considered. Why would the shooter walk into our building with two guns and enough ammunition to take out every cashier there and most of the CSSs just to try and kill one person? There had to be more to it than that. But on that front, I'll never really know: the official reason given was jealousy, over the fact that the victim got "easier" registers than the perpetrator. Again, I'll never really know the true reason. None of us will.
However, I do know this: it could have just as easily been me. I could have just as easily been the one standing behind that register when the shooter pulled her weapon free. It could have been me, crumpling to the floor in shock as I bled out.
Even worse? That still could have happened. She had enough bullets to take out the whole front end. With the position of my register and how I was standing, I might not have seen her coming, not known what was going on until the bullet lodged in my spine. Or worse.
It's a terrifying thought.
We have that idea that something like this, something of this magnitude will happen to "somebody else". Well, we are all "somebody else" to the rest of the nation. "It can't happen here because…" rings hollow because in my neighborhood, it did. It happened in my workplace. It happened on a seemingly normal day in August. It did happen here and it can happen here again.
I'm forced to wonder: when will we finally say, "Enough is enough"?

This story first appeared in Vacations & Travel magazine, winter 2019, issue 111
From beneath the leather skirting on my Art Series signature bed there's a discrete cardboard sign popping out that I almost miss:
'Yes, we clean here too' the notecard reads. It's one of many playful elements that greets guests at new Brisbane boutique hotel, The Fantauzzo.
Created in collaboration with acclaimed Australian portraiture artist Vincent Fantauzzo, The Fantauzzo Hotel, an Art Series Hotel, offers a fresh, chic and art-filled accommodation option in Brisbane's hot new Howard Smith Wharves precinct – located beneath the Story Bridge on the Brisbane River, just a 10-15 minute stroll from the CBD.
Arriving at the 166-room The Fantauzzo feels like a bit of a rock-star experience in itself. Earth-toned panels line the external walls of the building while bold signage of the hotel name glimmers from the roof, catching the light of the Brisbane afternoon sun. Music is playing at the hotel's entrance on an external sound system as we pass parked white Fiats and Lekker bikes outside the lobby – both available for guest hire. Locals glide past on bicycles and electric Lime scooters.
A glass, automated sliding door opens to reveal a chic, black-hued lobby with originals of Fantauzzo's most arresting and well-known artworks beside the check-in counter, including his 2012 portrait of wife, actress Asher Keddie; and the 2014 self-portrait All That's Good in Me (self-portrait as son Luca) with his four-year-old boy Luca dressed in a Superman costume. His enveloping, deep brown eyes pierce through the canvas. To supplement the artistic focus, guests are offered complimentary daily art tours with an 'Art Advocate'.
Hotel rooms overlook either the textural rear cliff beneath the bridge, or the river and wharves district. A sleek, moody and minimalist design scheme reigns, with splashes of colour popping from a green velvet settee and a print of the Asher Keddie portrait above my bed. More quirks are revealed, including a mini bar that stocks an Art Series 'Recovery Pack' (with Panadol, electrolytes, spritzers etc.); a bottled Negroni cocktail from The Everleigh Bottling Co. that is packaged in a glass vessel resembling a cologne bottle; and, should the mood strike, an Art Series blank canvas with paints (items not necessarily used in that order).
On day two, after a workout in the hotel's gym and touring the city, I relax at the hotel's level three pool and bar area. The pool is modest in size, but has a superb outlook over the pylons of the Story Bridge and all the action swirling below at the popular wharf. I dine at the hotel's modern Italian eatery Polpetta, the menu from which you can also have ordered to your room. I also wander across the road to try some of the Wharf restaurants – try Greek restaurant Greca for seafood and Mr Percival's bar for cocktails overlooking the Brisbane River.
Rates start from $309 per room, per night.

text: A dental hygienist was injured when the dental X-ray unit she was working with came apart from its wall mounting. To prevent the patient from injury, she grasped and supported the X-ray head of the unit, which weighed about fifteen pounds. She suffered a tear of wrist cartilage in her dominant hand. Two surgeries and much therapy later, she was told that she had permanent nerve damage to her brachial plexus, causing marked restrictions on her activities and abilities, daily pain and which kept her from returning to the field of dental hygiene. A product liability case was brought against the manufacturer relying, in part, upon the malfunction theory to establish the defect. The case settled in mediation for a confidential but substantial amount, earning the forwarding attorney a large referral fee.

Love is in the air at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo this week, as keepers treated the Asian elephants to a Valentine's surprise.
Falling on the first weekend of the February half term, this Valentine's Day would have normally seen the Zoo full of people showing the animals some love, but while their doors remain closed to the public, it's fallen to the keepers to make the date extra special.
Keepers at the UK's largest Zoo decorated the Centre for Elephant Care exhibit with heart-shaped pinatas that were stuffed with the pachyderm's favourite snacks including apples and biscuits for elephants. The herd's five females, who can eat up to 130kg of food a day each, made short work of the treats, quickly pulling them down with their strong trunks.
"It's no secret that we love our animals, but Valentine's Day is a great excuse to spoil them a little bit more!" said head elephant keeper, Stefan Groeneveld.
"The elephants loved their pinatas and showed off their incredible dexterity to retrieve every last treat from inside the hanging hearts. Youngster Karishma took the whole decoration down just to make sure she'd found every last tasty snack. Elephants have an incredible memory, so I'm sure this is a Valentine's Day they'll never forget."
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo remains closed to the public, but devoted zookeepers and vets continue to provide incredible care for the animals that call the 600-acre site home.
Stefan continued; "We'd normally see lots of happy families and loved-up couples at the zoo at this time of year, but to give them something to do while they can't visit, and to help us while we're closed, we are calling on the public to go #WildAtHome this February half term. We've come up with some animal-inspired athletics to try, including leaping like a lemur, balancing like a flamingo or waddling like a penguin - so show us some love this February and take on wild challenge!"
Reliant on income from ticket sales to care for the animals and fund their global conservation efforts, months of enforced closures have put ZSL's charity zoos under huge financial pressure. Vets and zookeepers will continue to provide the highest level of care for their animals, working throughout the lockdown. ZSL, the international conservation charity behind the Zoos, is calling on the public to help ensure they remain open by donating to ZSL.

What causes poor quality sleep?
No less than one third of people in the Netherlands have sleeping problems. Why is that? Poor sleep is one of the first signs of excessive stress. So it could be caused by a particularly hectic period, working too hard for too long, a significant event, problems, emotional imbalance... Whatever the reason, stress causes cortisol levels to rise, making sleeping difficult. It also causes sleep to be lighter and shorter. Women going through the menopause can also suffer from sleep issues: there is a fall in progesterone – a relaxation hormone – which can lead to poorer quality sleep at night. Lastly, environmental factors also play a role. Looking at a computer or the TV shortly before going to bed is not conducive to sleep. Nor is going too bed to late or going to bed at irregular times. Drinking coffee or alcohol late in the evening should also be avoided. Read more simple sleep tips to try at home in this article.
What is a sleep enhancement holiday?
The good news is that there are things you can do to resolve issues sleeping. A number of wellness resorts and luxury health resorts offer special programmes designed to improve sleep. These are professional sleep courses during which you'll undergo a variety of treatments and training that teach you how to sleep. Think massages, calming rituals and yoga, acupuncture, foot reflexology and traditional Chinese medicine. Exercise, coaching and meditation. During these specialist wellness holidays, the cause of your not sleeping will be exposed, and experts will offer you a solution. A relaxing, comfortable holiday you'll return home from with a good night's sleep as your souvenir.

Why Everybody Is Talking About Subcontractor Agreements and What You Should Do
Otherwise, ask people who've been involved with subcontractors who they would recommend or check with the local building supply shop. A subcontractor is an individual worker who's hired by a company to complete specialized work for the organization. First every one of the subcontractors must get their last inspections okayed before the last building inspector arrives to provide a CO.. When a subcontractor is hired by a business, an employment Subcontractor Agreements has to be created between the parties to produce the agreement legal and to guard both parties in the event the agreement goes wrong. If subcontractors are used, make sure the info is easily available and not be withheld. When the subcontractor has signed the agreement, he's validated the simple fact he understands. At the same time that you can't control your subcontractor's performance at work, you can lessen the danger of misunderstandings and legal liability.
Additionally, you're going to learn just what contractors are charging you for each and every component of the home as opposed to just providing you a flat price for the whole job. You will realize that a superior contractor is going to be excited and appreciative since they're working with a professional, there's clear communication and they have the reach of work and know precisely what the expectations are. The contractor you decide on have to be honest, dependable and respected in the business. You may need to pay different contractors, but you shouldn't be requested to pay the complete price tag of the work up front. Even in case you've found an independent contractor which you know you can trust, there's always the risk a misunderstanding will end in a misstep that could have a negative impact on your organization reputation, liability, and relationship with your client. Put simply, independent contractors are liable for accounting for their own time and reporting that opportunity to their clientele. It's difficult to find a talented independent contractor you can trust to be a symbol of your company when working with a customer.
Anytime you set out to employ a contractor or a subcontractor you will want to ensure you have a written contract in place. If a contractor intends to employ a subcontractor for several projects, it's advisable to use a master subcontractor agreement so that each of the details do not have to be negotiated each moment. Locating a trustworthy contractor is just one of the most essential points of the building procedure and needs some significant consideration. If you're using an overall contractor then you have to be sure he has paid them. When you've selected the correct contractor for the job you'll want to sit down and have your initial meeting.
The Ugly Side of Subcontractor Agreements
There's a cooling-off period of five business days following the contract is signed. You should always attempt to sign a written contract as opposed to concluding your agreements verbally. At precisely the same time, you may use the contract to set up price and payment terms, in addition to how it'll be handled should you or your client be unhappy with the degree of service your contractor provides. Compile all the information that you want to include in the contract in 1 document for your reference.
The agreement outlines all particulars of the arrangement. Usually, such agreements also supply you with the authority to terminate your relationship with the independent contractor for virtually any reason. The Subcontractor Agreements may also incorporate the system of payment and any technique of delivery, including by certified mail or electronic transfer. The subcontractor agreement may also establish rights and obligations for both parties, so both you and the individual you hire know what things to expect and what limitations cannot be exceeded. A subcontractor employment agreement has to have a section that summarizes the stipulations for the employment.
Lies You've Been Told About Subcontractor Agreements
When you've completed your agreement, it might still be a fantastic idea to have an attorney look it over to be certain that every one of the details are suitable for the undertaking and your precise field of work. You may also sign the Subcontractor Agreements prior to a public notary, and ought to provide copies of the agreement to every party. Independent contractor agreements don't have to be lengthy or overly detailed to find the job finished.
The Advantages of Subcontractor Agreements
When you enroll your organization, you're going to be asked to supply basic contact information for your organization and agree to stick to the rules of the program. Surety companies can offer valuable resources to Principals to help them in overcoming temporary small business challenges prior to a default occurs. You might have to agree to repay the surety company out of your own pocket in case you default on the building undertaking.

I'm a proud member of THE OLD FARMHOUSE GATHERING TEAM ON ETSY... a talented, professional group of artisans who create everything from Primitive to Shabby Chic, with an old fashioned flair!
Each Monday, I will be featuring a different member from this awesome team and introducing you to some of their great products and items.
Today's Monday Market place feature is:
Susan Green of ~www.keepsakekorner.etsy.com~
1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
KeepsakeKorner. As to how the name came about.....actually...nothing special. Wanted a name that reflected items you would want to keep. So I played around with some names. Now my sub-line "Creations from Stitches of Thread" came about from playing around with names that represented for the most part, my creativity in fibers.
2. How long have you been on Etsy?
I believe a year and 3 months now. Started May 2008.
3. What type of items do you offer?
Many purposeful/needful items. Most are sewing. I do alot of other art work, but haven't display much on Etsy.
4. How long have you been crafting?
Just about all my life. My grandmother that raised me taught me to sew. She was a lovely seamstress. Did alot of sewing during the depression to bring in extra money.
5. Who or What inspires you?
Words from novels, poems etc. can inspire me. Then there is God's Creation! Awesome!
6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
Oh I guess my Yo-Yo Flower picture that is framed. Right now they are alot of fun. I get bored easily, (perhaps I have ADD)will thus try new things and go all out for a while until the boredom bug bites. ! :)
7. Other places where you can be found...
On my blog KeepsakeKorner.blogspot.com
Thanks for joining me again,
Deena Davis

Despite our nation fighting wars on at least three fronts (Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan), U.S. news outlets, for the most part, have focused much of this past year on domestic issues such as the debt ceiling, President Obama's jobs bill, and the Republican presidential primary.
This week has been a break from the usual milieu with attention centered on international issues such the Palestinian bid for statehood and Iran's release of the two imprisoned American hikers. Noting the change, I began to wonder about the relationship between law and international affairs; namely, whether our legal system is being affected by international players.
While I believe different nations require different approaches because of differing cultures and beliefs, I also acknowledge that to deny globalism's rise is unwise. As our technologies increase, so does the world's interdependence. In a sense, we are becoming a global village.
There are many examples of legal globalism: the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, to name a few. While these organizations do not confine the United States to compulsory jurisdiction, the United States appears to moving towards it.
The first steps are being seen in the U.S. Supreme Court. The court has begun to cite landmark international decisions and laws in its majority opinions. For example, in Atkins v. Virginia (2002), the majority supported its holding to ban the execution of the mentally retarded by pointing out that within the "world community," such a practice is for the most part condemned. Of further interest, this argument originated in an amicus brief filed by the European Union.
In the much discussed Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the Supreme Court struck down a Texas anti-sodomy law. In doing so, the court cited a similar case decided in 1981 by the European Court of Human Rights, Dudgeon v. The United Kingdom.
In Dudgeon, that court held that Northern Ireland's criminalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults was a violation of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. While the Supreme Court did not cite Article 8, it did cite the European court. And, in doing so the Supreme Court reinforced the principle that law is evolving, and globally applicable.
As technology increases and we become more interdependent, the world will continue to transition from a globe to global village. Under this scenario, it will be difficult to argue against having one set of laws to preside over our interdependent economic, educational ,and political institutions.

Genetski ready to return to Lansing
Former state representative and Allegan County Clerk Bob Genetski is ready to return to Lansing to continue keeping his promises to voters.
Genetski announced in late September he is entering the Republican Primary for Michigan's 26th District Senate seat.
"A lot of voters mostly throughout Allegan County asked me if I would consider doing it," Genetski said. "They felt I did a very decent job representing them and the county in the state House."
The seat Genetski is running for is currently filled by Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker, R-Lawton, who is term-limited. Schuitmaker announced in mid-September she is running for Michigan Attorney General in 2018.
No one besides Genetski has filed to run for Schuitmaker's seat yet, but Genetski said he does not expect to run unopposed.
"It's a safe Republican seat so a lot of people look at that as desirable," Genetski said. "The opportunity to represent good people in the Allegan County area is a great one and I would imagine more people will jump in to try for that opportunity."
Other candidates will have until April 24 at 4 p.m. to file to run for the seat. A primary election will be held Aug. 7, 2018, with the general election on Nov. 6, 2018.
Genetski served three terms in the Michigan House from 2008-2014 and represented Michigan's 80th District.
"I was blessed to serve during some of the toughest times in Michigan's history," Genetski said. "When I first got elected, the state was running regular billion dollar budget deficits and the budget wasn't getting done on time. We had a terrible tax code and I was able to vote to make a lot of those things change for the better."
Genetski said it would benefit the people of the 26th District to have a senator with knowledge of working through Michigan's tough times.
Getting rid of Michigan's business tax and being transparent were Genetski's greatest accomplishment as a representative, he said.
"Getting rid of the Michigan business tax was huge," Genetski said. "That was an absolutely terrible tax code, it was chasing jobs to other states and it made it a really challenging environment for anybody wanting to create jobs in Michigan. I was proud to be a part of that."
Genetski said he posted his votes and explained them to his constituents on Facebook to increase transparency as a representative.
During Genetski's time in the house he was also charged for drunk driving.
In 2012, he was ordered to pay $1,100 in court costs and fines and serve 40 hours of community service. He was sentenced after being convicted in East Lansing's District Court for drunken driving.
Genetski put that behind him and continued to serve the Michigan House for two more years.
After his time in the House, Genetski was elected to serve as Allegan County Clerk and Register of Deeds in 2016.
"It's given me an even greater understanding of how Lansing can affect people on a daily basis," Genetski said. "A lot of the laws voted on in Lansing are implemented at the county level."
Before getting into politics, Genetski was a high school teacher. He taught at-risk students at an alternative high school in Grandville for about 10 years.
"I taught when the economy was really awful and I saw how the economy impacts the lower middle class first and how it hits them especially hard," Genetski said. "A lot of my students and their families really caught the first wave of the tough economy."
If elected to the Michigan Senate, Genetski said he would like to work on lowering Michigan's no-fault auto insurance rates.
"No-fault auto insurance is something that keeps coming up with a lot of people you talk to right now," Genetski said. "It frustrates everyone that we have some of the highest auto insurance rates in the nation. That has to be addressed."
He said another issue he would like to work on if elected is lowering the state income tax to 3.9 percent.
Genetski said he is the right candidate to serve the 26th District.
"I intend to follow through and be a libertarian-leaning constitutional conservative, who believes in limited government," Genetski said. "Along those lines, I'd also like to be someone who keeps his promises. When you talk to voters right now one of their biggest frustrations is we have people in office not keeping their promises."
