Brookdale settles with EEOC for $112,000 in disability accommodation case
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story has been updated with comments and more recent facility statistics from Brookdale Senior Living
A Denver senior living provider will pay $112,500 to settle a lawsuit that claims it failed to provide accommodations for, and subsequently fired, an employee with fibromyalgia.
According to the lawsuit, filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Brookdale Senior Living Communities Inc. of Denver refused to provide disability accommodations to its former health and wellness director, who has fibromyalgia. The employee's requests for a modified work schedule, ergonomic chair and adjustments to the lighting in her office were denied, the lawsuit claims. Brookdale allegedly fired the employee after she made repeated requests for accommodations.
"Employers need to know that snap judgments and refusals to consider reasonable accommodations can lead to violations of the law," wrote EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill, in a press release. Sometimes the employer and employees will have to engage in a number of conversations and discussions of options in order to arrive at an effective reasonable accommodation."
"Although the Company has reached a resolution in the matter involving Brookdale Mountain View (formerly known as Heritage Club Mountain View), that resolution is not an admission of any violation of the ADA," Brookdale Vice President of Corporate Communications Robert Borella wrote in a statement. "Additionally, the resolution states that Brookdale denies the allegations made by the EEOC and maintains that it did not engage in any unlawful actions."
Brookdale will have to pay $112,500 to the former employee, in addition to training all employees and district managers at its Mountain View community on the Americans with Disabilities Act's requirements. Among those requirements is the need to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities.
Brookdale Senior Living currently ranks as the largest assisted living company in the United States according to the American Health Care Association, with 1,140 facilities in 47 states.

Here are some sneak peeks from John and Leah's beautiful wedding from this past weekend. They got married at the historical Garten Verein in Galveston, Texas. I didn't get a chance to meet John and Leah before their wedding. They are both from Chicago, Illinois, but decided to have a destination wedding in Galveston. I was a little hesitant at first as I prefer to meet my clients before I shoot their "big day." However, after talking to them over the phone, I knew that I had nothing to worry about. Both of them were great and I had a blast shooting their wedding. I especially loved the flip flop idea! Leave it to Chicagoans to come up with something creative like that.
On a side note, I lived in Chicago for 3 years and fell in love with the city, the people, the culture, the Bulls (just kidding!) and so much more. If you ever have a chance to visit this city, I highly recommend you go.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and please leave some comments and let me know what you think.

Elayne Mordes, Director of Whitespace and personal friend of the artist, will select the person to receive each virture and include in the writings the specific reason for her choice.
Composing in this way, a transcendental net of relationships!
Karla Walter:
Project Installation
As an artist, it is important to recognize a message
and seize that moment. Crows are messengers -
omens for change. This body of work explores
the similarities between the social interactions
among crows and that of humans. To know the
crow is to know ourselves.
This is the journey I have taken with this body of work.
Mat Collishaw
a spinning installation based on Mantegna's famous painting "Mars and Venus"or sometimes titled Parnaso - 1497 and currently displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Both depict the forbidden love between Venus and Mars, surroundedby Apollo and the Dancing Muses of the arts, under the protecting gaze of Mercury.
Collishaw appropriates the delicate symbology of Mantegna's work and explodes it in a sculptural intervention on the zoetrope's pre-cinematographic technology, giving the illusion of a moving dioramic set in which all the symbolic elements are conveyed in a mesmerizing choreography.

Viewer Participation Project
plastic pink flamingo,
which had proliferated front yards during the spread of American suburbia, was elevated to iconic status after 50 years - blurring the lines between kitsch and
high art
. Production of the original plastic pink flamingo, designed in 1957 by Don Feathersone, ceased in June 2006 when Union Products closed the factory. Each subject's interaction with the simple
lawn ornament
implies an ephemeral equality, blurring the lines between proletariat and
beau monde
, perhaps a parallel to contemporary American society!

After winning New Zealand's Young Winemaker of the Year Award for the second time in a row, Mudbrick's Patrick Newton has firmly positioned himself as a force to be reckoned with in the winemaking community. Emilie Reynolds caught up with the family man about travelling the world, landing his dream job and the best time of the year to catch some swell on Waiheke Island.
PATRICK NEWTON was just 10 years old when his father retired as an officer with the Australian Defence Force and moved the family to a newly purchased block of land in the Gimblett Gravels.
Born in Australia and raised across the country, the move gave Newton his first glimpse into an industry that would eventually become his future.
"We moved every couple of years before my parents decided to parents decided to purchase a block of land in what is now the Gimblett Gravels just west of Hastings in 1989," Newton said. "The Cornerstone Vineyard was established and the family moved to New Zealand in 1992 when Dad retired from the Army to run the vineyard."
Newton's parents taught him to be a hard worker from a young age, encouraging him and his brothers to help out with the huge work load on the vineyard.
"Growing up on a vineyard there was always plenty of work to do and my three bothers and I were roped into working on school holidays," Newton said. "There was a rule that we couldn't sit around doing nothing during the holidays. We either had to work on the vineyard or get a job elsewhere."
His feelings of obligation eventually grew into passion and at the end of his high school days, Newton said the only way forward was a career in the wine industry.
"Working in the vineyard was engrained in me when I left school," Newton said. "I went to Lincoln University and graduated from a bachelor of viticulture and oenology in 2005."
Newton said throughout his university years he never considered pursuing winemaking and always imagined his future would reflect his younger days spent in the vineyard.
"Funnily enough I didn't want to be a winemaker," he said. "All of my papers at university were based around the vineyard. I didn't take any elective winemaking papers.
"I kept thinking that you only need one winemaker to look after several vineyards yet all of those vineyards need managers. So at some point there will be too many winemakers looking for work."
A love of travel eventually changed his mind when he finished university and Newton began chasing harvests across Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Europe.
"In 2003 I started at Forrest Estate in Marlborough and Trinity Hill in Hawkes Bay in 2004 during the university holidays as work experience," he said. "After university, I did a whites vintage at Tyrrells in the Hunter Valley before heading straight back to New Zealand for a vintage at Esk Valley Wines in Hawkes Bay in 2005."
From there, Newton decided to expand his horizons and try his hand at winemaking in the northern hemisphere.
"I headed over to the USA to work for Copain Custom Crush in Sonoma where I had positions with several different wineries including Donum, Auteur, Tallulah, and Dumol," he said. "This was the best experience as I worked one on one with several different winemakers at the facility."
Soon after, Newton chased another vintage all the way back to McLaren Vale where he worked at d'Arenberg for 2006 in a role he described as "very labour intensive".
"After d'Arenberg it was back off to the Northern Hemisphere to Van Volxem in the Saar Valley in Germany," he said. "This was an up-and-coming winery where the owner purchased several of the old top vineyards (almost entirely Riesling) in the area and was bringing them back to life with organic principles."
Chasing vintages year after year, Newton flew straight back to South Australia where he was employed at Kingston Estate in the Riverland region in what would be his first experience with large-scale winemaking.
"It was a real eye opener in terms of logistics around the winery," he said.
The small vintage ended early that year, allowing Newton to head back to where it all began – New Zealand.
"I picked up work at Constellation's Corner 50 Winery in Hawkes Bay," he said. "At this stage an assistant winemaker position popped up at Vidal Winery in Hawkes Bay."
Newton saw the role as an incredible opportunity to be a part of the award-winning Villa Maria Group.
"I applied and ended up getting the position," he said. "I stayed there for four vintages before applying and getting the winemaker position at Mudbrick Vineyard where I have been for the last four vintages."
Now, at 33-years-old and with a career that has spanned across many countries under his belt, Newton said the most important attribute in his winemaking philosophy was a sense of place.
"My philosophy is that I want the Mudbrick Vineyards to come through with every glass," he said. "The only way to achieve this is through sustainable vineyard practices and minimal intervention in the winery."
Newton has had clear success turning his winemaking ideas into reality. In 2015, he won the New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year award for the second time running. Judged only by what they put in the glass, Newton said the accolades have been his greatest achievement to date.
"The great thing about the Riedel New Zealand Young Winemaker of the year is that you are judged solely on the quality of your wines," he said. "You enter three wines of different varieties and styles and they get judged as if they were in a normal wine competition. The scores are then added up and the person with the highest score wins."
Commenting on his win, Newton said he was "extremely lucky to have the best vineyard manager on Waiheke Island, Nick Otto".
"Nick works very hard in the vineyard to produce grapes with superior flavour," he said. "Once the grapes are harvested I minimally handle them in the winery. All the wines are naturally fermented with almost no additives.
"I'd like to think the judges saw my wines as terroir driven that have a sense of place."
As well as his two Young Winemaker gongs, Newton was awarded with the Viognier Trophy at the Royal Easter Show in 2014, as well as both the Syrah Trophy and Champion Reserve Wine Trophy at the Bragato Wine Awards in 2014.
At the height of his career, Newton said he still has huge plans for the future.
"I would like to produce my own wines. They would all be single vineyard wines reflecting both the vineyard and vintage," he said. "Over time I would like the wines to be the benchmark for quality in both New Zealand and the World. Selling out of these wines every year would also be a bonus!"
Newton said one of the biggest challenges his has faced through his career has been juggling work with family life.
"My father once told me that your boss will forget how hard you worked for them a couple of years after you leave but your children will always remember you not being around when they were young," he said. "With that in mind I wanted to end up with a job where there was more work/life balance and I found it at Mudbrick."
Describing an average day, Newton said he and his wife endeavour to spend as much time as possible with their two children Joseph, 5 and Rita, 3.
"I usually wake up around 5.30am and read the news in bed while the kids and my wife are still asleep. My children wake up just after six and then it's all go getting the kids ready for the day.
"As Mudbrick is a small business my day can be made up of many different roles. This includes work in the winery, vineyard, as well as sales (I am also the wine sales manager) and any tastings or tours at the winery."
Newton said the greatest thing about his role was that every single day was different, a notion which was proved by his extracurricular activity of creating a single malt whiskey for a client at the winery.
"I try to get away from work just after four outside of vintage and either head to the gym or go for a run. It's a great way to unwind and clear the mind. Then its straight back home to see the family and cook dinner. My wife and I eat dinner early with the kids so we can all talk about our day. Then the night-time routine begins and ends with both the kids in bed by 7pm.
"The rest of the evening is spent with my wife relaxing in a quiet house with a glass of wine or whiskey."
Newton said spending time with family was his number one priority on days away from the winery.
"We go on lots of bush walks, picnics and go swimming," he said. "Keeping the kids busy is always a challenge.
"When I get some 'me time' I try to go out fishing. The waters around Waiheke Island are very productive. Surfing is also great when there are waves. Unfortunately there are only 20 to 40 surfing days a year on the Island. Most of them are windblown swell. A couple of times of year Waiheke gets cyclonic swells. When this happens it seems like all the tools on the island get put down and everybody is out in the water."
Newton said he felt lucky to live on Waiheke Island, and work for a company which nurtured his creative process.
"Mudbrick Vineyard is a fantastic company to work for," he said. "The owners Nick and Robyn Jones have been very supportive of me in my career and are always willing for Nick Otto and me to push the boundaries to produce better wines."
Newton said his advice to young guns would be to go out and get some real life experience in different wine regions.
"Get inspired by drinking wines from different regions around the world and learn how they are made," he said. "The best way to do that is to travel.
"On a more personal note, I've been lucky in my career working for people who have been passionate about what they do. These people have been willing to pass on their knowledge in an open way and I have learnt a great deal from them. My success is a reflection on my experiences with them. So a big thanks to these people!"

I have a different sound card
My sound card is CMI8768 PCI connection
And is defined as ever it was set on optical port
Listen friends, I want to clarify something topical to enable you to help me in a more correct way
I understand computers very well and have lots of experience with them
And never had to get help or support I always get myself
The reason I tell you this
Is because I know the problem is not on the sound card and settings
Because for years I see movies that way and it works great
An interest is to dig about in connection with WINDOWS 7 is where the trouble
Instead of dealing with explaining to me about the sound card and encode all of these various
Try to understand there is a problem related to the fact that Windows 7 does not convey this information through my sound card
I hope that I will not bother you too much about that
I have no one to turn to except you
Thank you:)

So your configuration screens don't show similar options as pictured above?
As with any new release of Windows, various hardware devices may need new drivers to function properly. Information on your sound card indicates the only Windows 7 driver available is for the Windows 7 RC7600 (Release Candidate). The driver is dated 2011-11-24 and is version 8.17.40 however; the same version is listed for other sound card models with a date of 2010-02-09.
I suspect your problem is related to the driver and not Windows 7. I think the best course of action would be to deal with C-Media directly. They are the only one that can supply drivers for your card.
Here's a link to the C-Media driver download page: C-Media
If you already have driver version 8.17.40 (2011-11-24) then there must be a compatibility problem with the current Windows 7 OS and only C-Media can fix that. The only other option may be to update your sound card with one that is supported by Windows 7.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

Justin Bieber is a good person. The media always turns around every story and focuses on the negative. What people don't understand is that Justin is such a kind hearted person. He takes what people say to heart. He feels so guilty if he ever feels like he made a fan sad. Justin is the type of person that wants to see the good in people. Justin Bieber has been getting a ton of unwanted attention recently concerning his personal life, but the singer won't let that bring him down.

Group Psychotherapy With Mentally Retarded Adults.
Parsons, Julie A.
Summaries of arguments given in the literature both for and against the use of verbal-traditional psychotherapy with mentally retarded individuals is presented. Much research examines process variables in therapy as an approach. Feedback variables are crucial. Results of a research study in which therapy groups composed of mentally retarded adults underwent manipulations designed to affect delivery of feedback within the group are reported. Therapist style, race, and time, but not sex, affected feedback. Feedback may increase self-reinforcement and less reliance on the opinions of other people. (Author/BEF)

Now is baking afternoon, so we are planning to discuss just how to bake the work-horse loaf to an attractive, chewy-crunchy-aromatically-hypnotizing marvel. I really like baking. Baking is really where dough has been transformed in to bread: certainly one of the earliest & most crucial foods on Earth. Baking day is similar to sciencefair afternoon, dinner day, and conclusion day all building a lovechild together. (Just there wont be some judging here–only learning). Baking is science and magic all in one single.
Baking isn't merely a major party, nevertheless. Since bakers, we still have a whole lot of work todo. This is exactly why now we are going to share what equipment we are in need of, the way to score bread, then talk exactly in what really continues inside our ovens throughout baking, and also how those procedures transform bread to bread.
And thus, before we put in to the practicalities of actually loading our loaves to the oven, then let us take a while to discuss the way we understand when–that the enormous WHEN–to load our dough to the toaster, and also take stock of exactly what this intends to correctly proof bread.
After we last left off, we had only finished turning our dough to boules, then placed them to bannetons to experience their final increase, or signs. Then we moved them to some fridge in order that they had proof more slowly (also referred to as jelqing our loaves), to boost flavor and also make sure they are better to load for baking. If we examine the work-horse recipe, then we now observe that this dough demands an closing, retarded evidence of approximately 1 hour to 90 seconds.
Putting an alert clock and carrying a rest could be overly simple. What we will need to know as bakers is the way to judge our loaves' advancement, and also to load our bread once an optimal balance of flavor and feel is reached–open-crumbed however, perhaps not pancake-like, nutty and aromatic although not overly amazing.
When we return again to your previous article, we will find an notion of the type of yeast is left up to this. Watch, our yeast've been sipping sugars as we finished our blending, releasing CO2 and fermenting our flour's sugar into alcohol and other interesting stuff. These procedures persist up to we inhale. Throughout the last proof, our yeast is currently coming at the close of its oxygen and food provides, and thus this late in the match, the majority of the task our yeast is acting is obviously a fermentation number–quite simply, growing taste.
These forces are going to have deep effect on loaf structure. Around a place, gluten free will last to build up and organize it self, along with the inflating aftereffects of yeast respiration. But left forever, acids created by the yeast and receptor activity will start to undermine garlic structure. I am aware of, which has been simply a major can of worms. To refresh your memory, then have a look at our article to yeast activity here, that may help all which seem sensible.
Simply speaking, if we inhale too soon–or underproof that our loaves–they will certainly be less appetizing than desirable, and wont grow for their entire potential. Should we inhale too late–or overproof our own loaves–we then run the danger of growing off tastes, and also our loaves could possibly be therefore inflated with petrol which their gluten arrangement is not able to encourage them, resulting in loaf collapse throughout carbonated.

Club Going Up on a Tuesday
Last Tuesday I went to Bryggan in Uppsala with a couple of friends. The dance floors were literally dead when we arrived, and it was midnight (that's late here in Sweden). So we did what we do best: we started dance floor after dance floor after dance floor like a couple of queens. At first people just looked at us as if they didn't understand what we were doing. "What is that? Why are they moving in this open space? Are you even supposed to do that?" But by the end of the song (when they'd had time to chug their beer to gain some alco-confidence) people came to join the party. Because let's face it – we were the party. We made that dance floor. Everyone were just guests, cause we OWNED that club.
Bryggan should have payed us for that. But no, we had to pay to get into the club… "HAVE YOU SEEN US?!" haha, just joking… not really, but it's the humble thing to say.

Zara metal teardrop applique necklace // Zara Girls Daisy Dress (same style in Paisley) // Vince Camuto Hawn ankle boots
One of my Black Friday finds last month was this Zara Girls 'Daisy Dress' (sold out). I find myself constantly venturing into the junior departments because their sizing fits me well and I save a little on the tax! Kids clothing in Ontario are only taxed at 5%, as opposed to the full 13% the adults have to pay. :(
I find that at Zara, they usually make junior versions of popular pieces from their adult section, so I recommend checking that part of their site out if you can! For reference, I usually wear size 11-12 or 13-14 at Zara. The dress I'm wearing above is size 13-14.
If you celebrated, hope you had a wonderful Christmas weekend with your loved ones!

Wednesday, September 17
Last night I had dinner with S., a friend from Brussels, who recently went through an ugly divorce. We hadn't seen eachother for about four months, of which she spent one travelling through China. She said the cities were different than she imagined, but she liked Hong Kong a lot. Then we talked about fried chicken feet, a local Chinese delicacy.

Here's an opening question for you all to think about while we wait for our tea to cool and for Jeanine to take the coconut squares out of the oven: what do you do to make yourself feel better on glum days? No wrong answers, now, no wrong answers.
I'll share something, I say.
As you know, I live in Guangzhou, China. Recently, I've been having some glum days. For one thing, I have a cold. I am sneezing like an sneezlepuss, which as should be clear from its name is an animal that sneezes a lot, more often, even, than pandas, meercats, dogs, or monkeys: the first four animals in this 41-video youtube playlist of sneezing animals which I just found and which you ladies are welcome to look at on my iPad after the meeting. Because the animals on display there are cute and frankly terrific. I sneezed while writing that sentence.
Not only do I have a cold, I am cold, because it is cold outside and my apartment is not significantly warmer than the outside. I do not have a space heater. Last year I had a space heater, but I gave it to Andy and am subsisting on my wall-mounted air blower. The air blower claims to have a heater setting. Based on the fact that I am sitting at my desk in a coat, wearing long underwear, I trust my wall-mounted air blower about as far as I can throw it. For reference, in sixth grade I was the only person who could long jump farther than he could shot put. I could not throw my wall-mounted air blower very far.
The truth is things can sometimes get glum around here. But what to do when you're feeling blue?
Yes, yes, says Lynette, please, get to the point.
The truth is, all of us can sometimes be glum. And all of us try the same things to feel better. For instance, while I was in Hong Kong last week, I bought a pair of jeans with a button fly. A button fly! No longer will I find myself needing to "Examine [My] Zipper, Pretty Darn Quick", because it will be not be possible for me to leave the restroom without having joined the two sides of my pants together, since the joining-and-unjoining operation one must perform when one needs to go see a man about a horse (which involves four very tight buttons), is approximately as difficult and time consuming as bridling a horse, or securing it safely to its post in your horse trailer, or hitching that trailer to your SUV so you can drive your horse to its pasture.
(The pasture is a penis, in this metaphor.)
So that's something worth feeling not glum about.
Sometimes even that's not enough, though. This week, I thought I had exhausted all my glum-weather, I've-got-a-cold tips. I washed my hair with natural shampoo, I doodled a mouse with a mohawk on a note from a student, my roommate and I watched Home Alone, and I even rubbed my face to encourage hair growth so I might someday be able to grow a respectable beard.
Long story short, I thought everything was topsy-turvy and glum city until I was looking through the very old bookshelves in my apartment and found a photograph in one of the books, which I was kind enough to scan at the local print shop so you all could see it tonight. It looks like this:
And when I looked at that photo, I said to myself, wow. You think you're glum? You are not glum. Until you are sitting in that car, holding that black object, with that expression on your face, with purple blemishes on your arm and forehead (likely from poor photo storage, I suppose), but with what looks like a real-life burn on your arm and a real-life rash around your mouth, I say to you: you are not glum.
And then I look at the picture again and I laugh, and laugh, and laugh.
(TL;DR: It's cold here. I found a funny picture in my apartment. My new jeans have a button fly.)

Seriously. I've had some convos recently about how quick I am to frog something that's just not doing it for me, so y'all know I cannot stand having WIPs laying around… But this yarn is so fun to work with, I had to jump into a project knowing full well I'd have to promptly cast it aside.
At least the play time was fun!! Read my full review of Scheepjes Secret Garden, and see for yourself how beautiful it is. I describe it as a sort of thick and thin tweed.. and it has all these marly bits. Every stitch is a surprise 🙂
Maybe the most fun part of this WIP (and also the saddest… but really the funnest!) is the fact that I sent all the yarn off to a lovely member of my NEW CypressTextiles Tester Tribe! I'll have the page introducing everyone up and running soon.
Now Robyn Axelrod is testing the pattern, and for that I am so thankful. Her work is really beautiful and I know she has a detail-oriented mind to give me feedback and criticism. Head to her Facebook page. Come for the crochet, stay for the horses and lush greenery. ❤
The Tester Tribe is complete for now, but it could grow in the future! It took a long time, and I'm so fortunate to work with a group of talented and genuine ladies. And just look at Robyn's photos… (PS, her table has me swooning 😍😍)
When her Secret Garden yarn arrived:
Comparing different granny square styles. Check out how the "traditional grannies" on the left show a gradual color change with the variegated Secret Garden, and then how it looks to the right when you flip the square after each round. Both squares are absolutely beautiful, and to tell the truth you could just work SC back and forth and still have a gorgeous blanket with Secret Garden.
Another yummy granny square photo by Robyn because why not?!
Here's Robyn's blanket currently! I have a special connection to this piece because the yarn and design are just so cozy, and I cannot wait for Robyn to reveal more squares. I'm in love with the colors!
When everything is wrapped up and I have all my pattern feedback, this will be released as a free pattern, both here and on Ravelry. Yippee-yay!!
Look out for the Hearthside Blanket pattern coming soon! ❤❤❤

Scientists from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) have discovered an important mechanism involved with the spread of the Ebola virus.
The international team announced on Tuesday that they have discovered the molecular mechanism that the virus must be able to break in order to infect cells; they theorize that drugs preventing this breach would prevent infection from occurring.
A study involving mice showed that the Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein was necessary for the infection process to continue. Mice that did not have this protein were resistant to the virus.
"Our study reveals NPC1 to be an Achilles' heel for Ebola virus infection," Kartik Chandran, one of the leading researchers and associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Einstein, said.
Chandran stated that this research would best be used to eventually develop an anti-viral treatment regimen for viruses similar to Ebola that are thought to use the NPC1 protein as a pathway to infection.
Andrew Herbert, a senior research scientist at USAMRIID in the Viral Immunology Branch states that, while this pathway is an important cholesterol transport mechanism, patients would likely be able to tolerate the temporary blockages needed to prevent infection of the Ebola virus.

By Dr. Ray Patton
"Meidlinger is dead," I think. Peter lies motionless in the brush on the side of the path, where he landed after catapulting over his handlebars. Thankfully, he gets up, dusts himself off, and gets back on the bike. We ride on.
It's the latest in a series of extreme bike rides beset by heat exhaustion, brake failure and human catapults. Well, perhaps not so extreme. We barely leave the city limits on our rides, and families with strollers regularly enjoy the trail that nearly took Peter's life.
Yet our rides truly are extreme in another sense. Peter invited me on a ride just weeks after I moved to Springfield in 2011, and since then, each journey has been a life lesson. We travel the gritty back roads, far from any ivory towers. But what we see prods us to talk about history, topography, Shakespeare, the environment, urban planning, idiosyncrasies of local culture, highs and lows of local history, nationalism and ideologies of race, family life and parenting. We survey the city's uneven development, vanishing industries, and boarded-up neighborhood stores that remind us of once-flourishing communities. We find community waiting to be rediscovered (I quickly learned that Peter can't pass a stranger without striking up a conversation). We remind ourselves what it means to be educators, and why education is essential to our students' lives.
Our rides continue—although they grow less frequent once the school year starts. Instead, I apply what I have learned by taking my students along as we explore our world, discuss its nature, and seek out knowledge in order to engage it with compassion and understanding. We set out together on our own extreme journey of education.

San Diego, CA
Founding Co-Chairs and San Diego Philanthropists Hélène and George Gould Pledge $250,000 -- the Largest Single Contribution from an Individual Donor in History of Organization
San Diego, CA – January 19, 2016 – Research suggests that as many as 317 children in the San Diego community will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness this year, and Make-A-Wish San Diego is committed to making their wishes come true without delay. Currently, Make-A-Wish San Diego is reaching two-thirds of medically eligible children, but one in three eligible children in San Diego have not been granted a wish. To narrow this gap, Make-A-Wish San Diego has recently created an exclusive President's Circle to assist in making EVERY wish come true for San Diego children.
San Diego philanthropists Hélène and George Gould are the inaugural founders of the President's Circle, and have pledged a $250,000 matching gift that will allow all gifts from new donors to have twice the impact on wishes for kids with life-threatening medical conditions. Donors who give $50,000 or more will join the Goulds in the exclusive President's Circle.
"When Make-A-Wish San Diego told us about their goal to be able to reach each and every child in our great city, we were compelled to make a difference in the lives of these children," said Hélène Gould. "George and I have pledged to match every dollar up to $250,000 for this initiative. We encourage others to consider donating and joining the President's Circle to help make an even greater impact in San Diego, so that ALL of our local kids can have their wishes come true."
"Nearly every day in San Diego, a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition," said Chris Sichel, President and CEO, Make-A-Wish San Diego. "Hélène and George have been instrumental in launching the President's Circle, and their extraordinary donation and the joy it will inspire for our Wish Kids will shape Make-A-Wish San Diego's future for years to come."
Members of the President's Circle will make it possible for our local Make-A-Wish to grant a wish for every child in San Diego. For more information on the President's Circle and how you can be a hero for a Wish Kid, contact Dana Vandersip: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Brand identity design employs logos, color palettes, signage and other unique visual images to represent how a company wants to be seen in the marketplace. It's a powerful marketing tool. Customers attracted to a company because of what its brand promises will return with the expectation of repeating a positive experience.
But brand design can show its age. Visual representations should change as a company changes to sustain impact and spotlight new directions and capabilities. A brand update may include new exterior façades, interior design, signage, color selections, materials and more.
Evolving brand design also can spotlight value-added differences among companies that share the same brand.
McDonald's exterior façade image of the golden arches draws immediate recognition worldwide. But outlets that serve the same area often compete for customers and stretch their brand identity to include amenities targeting specific customer segments. Their expanded brand design may include childrens' play areas or designated tables that accommodate meetings or special events.
Good brand design never remains static. It evolves as a company's identity and strategic direction evolve to capture competitive advantage and increase profitability.

Want to study for a degree without leaving home? Then read on, says Matthew Limb
It's just 10 years since physiotherapist Gillian Jordan developed one of the first online degrees for health professionals - an MSc in continuing professional development (health) with Greenwich University. 'I was just getting the hang of email and realising what a fantastic tool it could be for communication,' she says. 'At the time, we thought our students would have to go to internet cafes to log on.' Since then, technology systems have become vastly more sophisticated, and with the advent of broadband and quick-fire search engines, online courses are expanding. However, their expansion is not fuelled solely by IT improvements. In large part it's driven by consumer demand - individuals hungry for knowledge but needing a flexible study solution to fit their increasingly complex 21st century lifestyles. Physiotherapist Victoria Park's professional and personal circumstances led her to begin an online MSc in pain management at Edinburgh University. Victoria, who works part-time as a senior I at Kincardine Community Hospital (part of NHS Grampian), says: 'I have two young children who have just started school and needed a course to fill in the hours I wasn't working but was reluctant to travel. This course is ideal in that there are no lecture requirements and work can be done at any time to fit in around home, work and child commitments.' The flexibility of a web-based course is also crucial for fellow student Sarah Nichol, as are the time and money advantages that the lack of travel brings. She fits the pain management masters degree around a full-time job in musculoskeletal outpatients at St John's Hospital in Livingston, West Lothian. She says: 'Working full-time, I was allowed to compress my hours to a four-day week, and the flexibility of the web-based course allows me to log on when it suits me. This is my first experience of online learning and is proving to be very positive. It is very easy to submit assignments at the click of a button, rather than hand in or post them.' As well as cutting down on travelling costs, studying for a masters without ever leaving home brings other savings. Online courses can be competitive with other degree courses - UK students pay £2480 per year for the pain management masters. This is because overheads differ, although investment in IT platforms is expensive. Physiotherapist Caroline Abbott is course tutor on the pain management masters. She notes flexibility is a key attraction for applicants, and cites another bonus: the ability to link up with students from different specialist fields and countries. Both Victoria and Sarah attest to the benefits a multidisciplinary course brings. Sarah comments: 'It is quite amazing to converse with professionals around the country and the world: different disciplines, doctors, dentists, nurses, with various levels of experience and points of view.' She adds: 'I am the only physiotherapist in my group but this has not been a problem. The multidisciplinary mix only adds to the learning experience. There have been a few colourful debates to date, and consequently a widening of everyone's view on various subjects in relation to pain. As a group I think we have bonded pretty well.' Victoria notes that, as a physio, she has benefited from sharing ideas online with other professionals such as anaesthetists, consultants and psychologists, and gaining a different perspective. However, she acknowledges there are downsides, commenting that occasional technical problems have meant 'communicating with people from all around the world is not always easy'. For many, it is the thought of tackling technical glitches without professional IT backup that can make online learning less attractive. However, technophobia can be unfounded. Sarah comments: 'Two months into the course I had expected to encounter technical difficulties, but to be honest I have yet to come across any. Having broadband is helpful, and the site is very user friendly.' Course tutor Caroline acknowledges that e-learning may still seem a novel route for people used to working in highly physical professions. 'Physio is very hands on, you can't get away from that. This course doesn't aim to teach practical stuff, it's much more theoretical.' She believes online programmes, far from being the poor relation of courses taught face to face, can even add value to the student experience. 'I think sometimes you learn a lot more than you would normally learn in a classroom when often everybody rushes away at the end of the session.' Phillip Evans is programme director of Edinburgh University's new online MSc in clinical education. The degree, which will cover the theory of clinical education and issues such as problem-based learning and the development of skills in evidence-gathering, is due to begin in September this year. A multimedia programme will enable students to communicate online by video camera, audio and text as well as posting presentations, proposals and diagrams. Professor Evans says: 'It's very experiential in the sense people can relate theory to their professional situation, but more importantly they can also look at it from the point of view of their personal circumstances.' He adds: 'This is not an ivory tower programme where people just have to read a lot of books and answer a few questions. It's totally different, it's as interactive and real and confrontational as it can possibly be.' A common question asked regarding e-learning is whether students can thrive without direct contact with teachers and fellow students? Although Victoria emphasises enjoying the course content, she cites a lack of direct contact and peer support as potential drawbacks of online learning. 'I miss the ability to chat with other students to assist with problem solving,' she says, adding that the course also calls for a lot of self-discipline. However, opinions differ. Sarah comments: 'Prior to starting the course I had my concerns regarding tutor and peer support in a virtual classroom. I needn't have worried however, having found the tutors to be easily contactable by phone, and quick to respond to emails. As regards getting to know my classmates, there is a discussion forum with an informal section for general discussion alongside sections for specific and graded discussion.' Ronald Carter, who runs an online MA in healthcare language and communication at Nottingham University, says there are dangers students can feel isolated. To counter this, the university and many other e-learning providers organise regular get-togethers, such as day and summer schools, to which some travel long distances. 'People do like face to face contact and eventually I think people do find ways of making contact,' he says. Professor Carter suggests e-learning students need to acquire a 'different habit, a different set of skills' and enjoy obvious advantages in managing their time. The healthcare language MA, launched a few months ago, is designed to help a range of health professionals communicate more effectively and become more reflective on how they operate as practitioners. He explains that the programme tries to strike the right balance between theory and practice, offering modules and assignments that are 'related to the real world'. 'My wife is a physio, so I've taken advice from her in putting some of the materials together,' he says. Students have access to downloadable resources including a five million word 'corpus' of communication recorded from real-life settings and stored on computer. Using the computer platform Web CT, he can run multi-party debates. 'You can have an online forum with a physio in Nottingham, a Malaysian nurse, an Indian doctor, and an occupational therapist in Newcastle addressing particular questions.' He is optimistic about the future for online degrees, saying: 'I think we'll see more and more online learning, because the tools are getting much more sophisticated, plus people are getting busier and busier.' While others agree in general, there is a warning note. Lynne Jump heads an online MSc in research and an online MA in professional practice (health and social care) at Greenwich University. She stresses that she is a 'big advocate, a real fan' of online learning, who, as a working mother enjoys the benefits of flexibility such courses can offer. But she believes assumptions made about the supposed advantages of e-learning need to be scientifically tested. Lynne says: 'Particularly the assumption that it promotes collaborative learning and particularly from an interdisciplinary point of view. It's one thing managing your own time but managing your time to fit all of these other people is a different thing altogether. So I'm just a little cautious that we underpin some of these assumptions and some of these potentials with the reality of evidence and research.' However, Caroline Abbott stresses that high quality teaching and support systems are vital for online courses and points out that these are underwritten by the rigorous university validation process. She comments: 'You can take larger numbers online than you could in a classroom but you have to increase the ratio of tutors to make sure they're supported properly.' Prof Evans agrees: 'Capacity is unlimited in theoretical terms, but you don't want people to feel they're just part of a nameless mass. We must have that personal touch and organise things so students feel comfortable and involved and feel they know the people they're working with.' The final word on the subject should probably go to someone with direct experience. Sarah Nicol sums up her impression of e-learning: 'I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this type of distance learning course. It is flexible, well structured, and while an MSc is a big take on, web-based learning sits well with working full-time.'

Get with the programme Edinburgh University offers an online MSc in pain management aimed at a range of graduates in medicine, nursing and dentistry as well as the allied health professions. Delivered entirely online using the computer platform Web CT, the course relies heavily on interactive multidisciplinary discussions and input from expert tutors. Students log on to a learning space to access reading materials and assignments, join chat rooms and discussion boards and take part in live debates in real time. They are expected to put in 15 to 20 hours of study each week for the MSc, which follows the core curriculum of the International Association for the Study of Pain. The two-year programme was launched last year by Edinburgh University's College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. It is a partnership with the University of Sydney - which developed and now licenses the original course materials - and the University of California. Basic first-year modules include the principles of pain management and treatment. In the second year, more specialist options are available, covering topics such as musculoskeletal pain, cancer pain or pain in children. If students don't wish to complete the full MSc, they can exit at earlier stages with a certificate or diploma provided they complete the necessary qualifying modules. It's hoped this ability to bank credits along the way will help clinicians with their continuing professional development.

Once again, the legislature has left Raleigh, if only for a few weeks, with plans to return in October for a third special session since leaving in June.
Under the adjournment resolution passed by the legislature the House and Senate will have a lot of leeway as to what the October session will address.
The adjournment resolution basically leaves the legislature free reign as to what will be considered in the October session, but likely there will be veto override vote attempts that were left unaddressed during the special session that adjourned Thursday.
The resolution will return the legislators to Raleigh on Oct. 4, at noon.
The legislature completed its business of passing new legislative districts, which will now go to the courts for consideration.
The House passed the adjournment resolution in a 60-40 vote and the Senate passed the resolution 32-8, an unusual division for an adjournment resolution.

- Revising the judicial divisions of the State, the superior court districts, the district court districts, and the prosecutorial districts and the apportionment of judges and district attorneys among those districts and containing no other matter.
- Revising districts for cities, counties, and other political subdivisions of the State and the apportionment of elected officials among those districts and containing no other matter.
- Revising the Senate districts and the apportionment of Senators among those districts and containing no other matter.
- Revising the Representative districts and the apportionment of Representatives among those districts and containing no other matter.
- Proposing an amendment or amendments to the North Carolina Constitution and containing no other matter.
- Proposing an amendment or amendments to the North Carolina Constitution and containing no other matter other than statutory conforming changes to implement such bills.
- Solely making statutory and transitional changes to implement bills under sub-subdivision a. of this subdivision.
- Bills returned by the Governor with his objections under Section 22 of Article II of the North Carolina Constitution, but solely for the purpose of considering overriding of the veto upon reconsideration of the bill.
- Bills providing for selection, appointment, or confirmation as required by law, including the filling of vacancies of positions, for which appointees are elected by the General Assembly upon recommendation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, President of the Senate, or President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
- Bills providing for action on gubernatorial nominations or appointments.
- Bills providing for impeachment pursuant to Article IV of the North Carolina Constitution or Chapter 123 of the General Statutes.
- Bills responding to actions related to litigation concerning the districts for Congressional, State House, State Senate, judicial, municipal, county, and other elected officials' actions and any other litigation challenging the legality of legislative enactments.
- Bills returned on or after Wednesday, June 28, 2017, to the house in which the bill originated for concurrence.
- Adoption of conference reports for bills, which were in conference on or after Wednesday, June 28, 2017, and conferees had been appointed by both houses on or after that date.
- Bills relating to election laws.
- Bills making technical corrections to S.L. 2017-57, S.L. 2017-119, or both.
- Local bills having passed third reading in the house in which introduced, received in the other house in accordance with Senate Rule 41 or House Rule 31.1(h), as appropriate, and not disposed of in the other house by tabling, unfavorable committee report, indefinite postponement, or failure to pass any reading, and which do not violate the rules of the receiving house.
- A joint resolution further adjourning the 2017 Regular Session or amending a joint resolution adjourning the 2017 Regular Session to a date certain.

Language Marketplace® provides quality French translation services that meet the needs of the most stringent industry requirements; and we do it with a methodology that gives our customers confidence.
Language Marketplace® is a company that doesn't't cut corners; we are one of the few translation service providers in Canada to be Certified for "Translation Services" as per the National Standard of Canada CAN/CGCB-131.10.2008 and EN15038.
The associated audits review such important points as mandatory proofreading by a second translator and many failsafe measures to ensure we meet the requirements of our customers.
These audits include items such as:
• Standard Operating Procedures within our process
• A formal Customer Concerns System that includes investigation and corrective actions including customer sign-offs.
• A methodology that ensures every translation is proofread by a second translator.
• A tracking system within our business framework, so that all information is easily understood and can be both tracked and traced.
• Firm requirements with regards to a Translator's education and competencies, along with our internal testing procedures.
When thinking about "Quality", it is important to understand that French translation is not a commodity and translators are not pegs on a board. Despite the fact that language plays such a critical role in how we interact with the world, surprisingly few people understand what is required to deliver a "good" translation; a translation that strives to express the same thoughts and impressions as the original text; a translation that strives to sound as if originally was written in the target language.

Refugee FAQs
A refugee is a person who is forced to flee their home country due to war or persecution. A refugee is different than an immigrant in that they do not choose to migrate for better opportunities.
Last year, Caritas of Austin served 631 refugees from 16 countries: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, Burundi, Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Cameroon, Uganda, Syria, and Zambia.
Caritas of Austin began resettling refugees in 1974, with our first refugees coming from Cuba and Vietnam.
Yes, we remain more committed than ever to serving this resilient population and ensuring their homelessness ends once and for all when they arrive in Austin. There is much uncertainty with relation to government decisions and funding, so we are relying on the community's financial support more than ever. Donate today.
Yes, when a refugee arrives in the United States, they are fully legal to live and work anywhere in the country indefinitely.
Refugees are the most intensely screened group of people entering the United States, and all screening happens prior to their arrival. The screening process is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The vetting process includes multiple background checks, biometric information collection, in-person interviews, and health screenings.
From the time a person gains refugee status approval from the United Nations, it takes on average 18-24 months before a person or family is resettled.
Refugees receive very limited financial assistance from the United States government and resettlement agencies can only provide case management assistance for six months. The top challenges refugees face include lack of English, transportation, adjusting to a new culture and norms, and the transferability of existing job skills and certification.
We rely on the community's support to ensure refugees feel welcome in Austin and have the opportunity to thrive. You can volunteer directly with refugees, make a financial or gift card donation, provide Wish List items, tell your local and national representatives that you support refugee resettlement, or invite us to your local groups to educate others on refugees.

We all love a good bargain, heck they even have shows dedicated to finding sales and good deals (Extreme Couponing anyone?) This practice even spills over into the real-estate business. The best way to find a great deal on a house is to look for foreclosed homes. While I never like the idea that someone has lost their home in this way it is a great opportunity for others who are looking to purchase a new home. Many buyers feel that they can look up and find foreclosed homes on their own without the assistance of a realtor. And while every once in a while that may work there tends to be bigger issues that arise with foreclosed home that an experience realtor would be able to identify.
I have been selling real estate for the past 10 years but over the past 4 years I have been specializing in foreclosures right here in Madison County. This allows me to know the in's and out's of searching for and purchasing this type of home. I also have access to what foreclosed homes are on the market before the general public does. I can identify pre-foreclosed homes. This is where the seller has the opportunity to try to sell his/her home before going into foreclosure. There are also many things to consider when buying a foreclosed home. For example I would make sure to have a title search done. This would highlight any liens against the property that you are unaware of. Also buying owner's title insurance helps protect you and your property if it were ever challenged on ownership. And as with any home it is important to have a home inspection. Even if you are buying a house "as is" you still want to know if there is any major structural issues, gas leaks, or mold problems, etc.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about foreclosures or for a full listing of the ones in your area. I'd be happy to help you find a great deal on a house!

BJP on Tuesday accused BSP supremo Mayawati of pursuing vote bank politics after she attacked the Modi government over its opposition to the practise of 'triple talaq' in the Muslim community. "It is unfortunate and ironical that despite being a woman Mayawati is not standing for the rights of Muslim women. She is doing so for vote bank politics," its National Secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
With Samajwadi Party facing a grave internal crisis, Mayawati is aggressively wooing Muslims, a traditional SP support base, as their support to her party has the potential to prosper it to power in the assembly polls scheduled for early next year.
BJP had accused her of "communalising" the elections after she appealed to the community to vote for her party.
"BJP and its government led by Narendra Modi has now started a new controversy over Muslim personal law, triple talaq and common civil code before the Assembly elections in some states to serve its petty politics. BSP strongly condemns it," Mayawati had said in a statement earlier in the day.

Why your wallet can cause back pain and sciatica?
All men with your wallet in your back pocket stand up now! This can cause sciatica (pain running down the leg), and it is referred to as 'hip pocket wallet syndrome'.
It is caused by people sitting on their wallets full of credit cards and these in turn are sandwiched between your buttock and the chair directly under the region where the sciatic nerve is based. The patient will often present with buttock and upper posterior thigh pain, usually without local back pain. It can also cause an up-slip or rotation through the pelvis, which can have a knock on effect on the spine. It is more commonly seen in those who sit for long periods of time e.g. taxi drivers and lorry drivers.
For all of you who sit on your wallets just remove your wallet before sitting and see how much better it feels! If the problem persists, book in for a free spinal check with one of the Chiropractors at Lilliput Health.
