I found myself rising out of bed at 4:00 am a couple weekends ago. I was filled with excitement, nonetheless moving ever so slowly, gradually dragging myself from my room to the kitchen for some coffee. Why was I doing this?!? And why of all days did my single sized foam bed ever feel so deliciously embracing! I had agreed to head over to the south of Israel to see the sunrise out of Masada and climb its famous Snake Path with a friend. We would follow this with some relaxing and reinvigorating floating time in the Dead Sea (Yam Hamelach in Hebrew)…maybe throw a little rejuvenating mud into our mix and then head over to Ein Gedi Nature reserve for another hike.
Masada is one of Israel's top historical sites, and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Back in 30 BCE King Herod ordered this fortress to be built at the top of a cliff facing the Dead Sea. Architecturally, I can only imagine the problems that may have been posed in constructing this palace, which in itself makes it impressive enough. Add to the fact that Masada is built in the middle of the Judean Desert, and was able to maintain a logistics network comprehensive enough to sustain the lavish lifestyle of the King (there was a swimming pool in one of the palaces) and this place, along with its panoramic views really leaves you breathless!
Getting there was fairly simple although we misjudged the time and ended up seeing the sunrise just before we got to Masada. In the clarity of daylight though, I now also saw the famous Masada Snake Path. I understood then, why all tours bring people here in the dark: Tourists can't really see what they're about to embark on…I am sure the temperature is the secondary consideration! Forty five minutes of steep leg-toning-and- muscle-burning-hiking along the side of the mountain was the start to our day. Once at the top though, we were well rewarded as we saw the incredible views which the inhabitants of Masada had the privilege to enjoy and the amazing architectural feats that were achieved in constructing this palace. The climb is a must to really understand the feats
which were made with the finalization of this palace. Soon enough I would be reminded of the popular saying, "what goes up (in this case who), must come down" as we began our descent back down the Snake Path. Although gravity was on our side my legs felt that they were about to crumble with every step… I couldn't wait to get to the Dead Sea!
Three hours plus of hiking were decently rewarded with a nice relaxing session at the Dead Sea and the effortless feeling of floating in the water without even trying! It truly is a cool experience, and what's more, supposedly
since it's the lowest point on earth at -417 metres below sea level there's more oxygen in the air… which in turns makes you feel happier! I don't know if that's true but I was feeling pretty good, and I wasn't missing my bed now!
What came next must be one of my favourite destinations yet! Ein Gedi Nature Reserve is a must see for all! Come prepared for Masada like hiking here if you want to get the full experience. This place is out of a movie!
You're hiking in the desert, and all of the sudden you encounter clear blue pools of water, streams and waterfalls called wadis. For a second you think it's the heat getting to you but then you kneel to refresh your face with this clear water and you realize it's not an illusion.
The most famous wadi here is called Wadi David and it's a short hike from the entrance. Although, for the true experience climbing all the way up to Dodim's Cave is both extremely exhausting and wholly gratifying!
After a one and a half hour climb in the heat you are rewarded with a secluded- and thankfully shaded- small cave which houses a pool of fresh water ready to refresh your hot sweaty body!
Relaxing by the natural pool at Dodim's Cave and remembering my lazy self in the morning I knew that at night, back home, my single sized bed would surely feel like a queen sized cloud filled mattress ready to completely envelope my body into its sponginess!
Thank you for reading!

The technology of impulse dry powder fire extinguishing
The designers of EPOTOS association invented and patented an impulse dry powder fire extinguishing module in 1995 (Patent No. 2082475) thus they initiated in fact a new technology in fire protection. Beginning from that year EPOTOS association has been manufacturing impulse dry powder fire extinguishing modules under brand name "BURAN®" that are intended for extinguishing fires of solid combustible materials, flammable liquids, gases and electrical equipment – Class A, B, C & E.
"BURAN®"s are impulse, fast acting dry powder suppression systems. They are hermetically sealed, unpressurised, strong and lightweight units easy for installation and transportation.
The family of "BURAN®"s includes about 20 units with the weights of dry powder from 300 grams to 50 kg.
Every module "BURAN®" consists of a body (steel), a dry powder set, a pressure generator (solid combustible gas-generator) and a system of activation. The last news in the "BURAN®"s technology is that the modules can have a combined activation system – electrical and thermal activation in a single device.
The principle of extinguishing action is as follows.
A combustible gas-generator when electrically or thermally activated, produces combustion products that create positive pressure inside the body of "BURAN". The pressure expands and ruptures the membrane. The extinguishing dry powder evacuate from the body of "BURAN" under a specific discharge rate. The extinguishing dry powder is a mixture of mono-ammonium phosphate, sodium and potassium bicarbonate and the anti-caking and anti-balling agents. The particles of the extinguishing dry powder are of specific diameters that perform a specific discharge rate and concentration of the dry powder in the fire. The extinguishing result takes place within a second.
The technology of condensed aerosol fire extinguishing
«EPOTOS» association invented and manufacture condensed aerosol generators under brand names "DOPING®" and "TOR®". They are ecology friendly and the most cost effective alternative to Halon, Inert Gases, Halocarbons and Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishing. The "DOPING"s & "TOR"s are intended for extinguishing fires of solid combustible materials, flammable liquids, gases and electrical equipment – Class A, B, C & E.
Every generator "DOPING®" and "TOR®" consists of a body (steel or stainless steel), an aerosol forming compound (solid), a chemical coolant (solid) and a system of activation. The generators are unpressurised. The heart of the generator is an aerosol forming compound. The family of "DOPING®" and "TOR®" generators includes the units with weight of aerosol forming compound from 20 grams to 6300 grams.
The principle of extinguishing action is as follows.
The aerosol forming compound when electrically or thermally activated, produces combustion products — micron size dry chemical particles (mainly potassium carbonates), and gases (mainly carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapor). This mixture (aerosol) propels itself through a chemical coolant and discharges from the generator into the protected room.
The high rate of aerosol discharge and small size of the particles allow the agent to be rapidly distributed throughout the protected room. Homogeneous distribution of aerosol that is achieved in a several seconds and a long holding time help to prevent fire re-ignition. The extinguishing density of aerosol discharged from "DOPING®"s & "TOR®"s is about 90 g/m3 for A-Class fires and 75 g/m3 for B-Class fires. Some new generators have the extinguishing density of about 28 g/m3 for B-Class fires.
The "DOPING®"s & "TOR®"s correspond to modern international norms for condensed aerosol generators: ISO 15779:2011 and MSC.1/Circ.1270 (IMO).
The advantages of "DOPING®"s and "TOR"s over the competitive products are wide range of operating temperatures (-50⁰C…+90⁰C) and high strength under impact loads and vibration stress. Thus the "DOPING®"s and "TOR®"s are widely used for fire protection of various transport means and combat vehicles. The "DOPING®"s and "TOR®"s withstand the following loads:
- Sinusoidal vibration in frequency range 1…500 Hz under acceleration 100 m/sec² (10G);
- Multiple impacts (up to 10 000) under peak impact acceleration 196 m/sec² (20G) and duration of impacts 5…15 ms;
- Low atmospheric pressure 12 000 Pa (90 mm of mercury column);
- High humidity (98% under temperature 298⁰K as well as frost and dew);
- Pressure of water column (up to 5 m within 60 min);
- Single impact under peak impact acceleration up to 300G.
"EPOTOS®" association manufacture four types of design of condensed aerosol generators: axial-discharge, radial-discharge, circle-discharge and reverse-discharge. Radial-discharge generators can be used in small cabinets, reverse-discharge generators are characterized by low aerosol temperature and compact dimensions. The circle-discharge generators are the most effective ones and can be used for fire protection of rooms with big volumes.
The range of DOPINGs and TORs make possible fire protection of a lot of different objects from small to big under high economic efficiency.

Nephthys, from Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, vol. II
Although she appears frequently in Egyptian sources, the deity Nephthys apparently did not have her own body of myth independent of the Osiris legend. Her role is primarily funerary, as the counterpart of her sister Isis, in mourning and protecting the dead. Nephthys is usually portrayed as a woman with her name. Nb-hwt, "mistress of the mansion." on her head. Sometimes she is
shown with outstretched wings: more rarely she is depicted in the form of a bird.
Nephthys' character was established by the time of the Pyramid Texts (c.2400 sal). According to the texts, she is one of the Ennead of Heliopolis, the daughter of Geb and Nut, and the sister of Osiris. Isis and Seth. Although she is Seth's consort, she supports Osiris, and is closely associated with Isis. When Osiris dies. Isis and Nephthys transform themselves into kites, lament his death, and restore his body, thus protecting it from decay. Together. they guard the young Honis and the deceased king. Isis and Nephthys are typically paired, and while both are essentially beneficent, Nephthys can be associated with darkness, as when Isis represents the ascending day bark and Nephthys the descending night bark.
The Pyramid Texts refer to Nephthys as the mother and nurse of the king. suggesting an association with divine birth, and the Westcar Papyrus portrays her aiding the birth of future kings. In solar religion. Isis and Nephthys assist Re, indicating a possible origin as sky goddesses.
Most representations of Nephthys occur in funerary contexts. She protects the canopic jars: her association is with Hapy as the guardian of the lungs. Isis and Nephthys are depicted behind the throne of Osiris in the Book of Going Forth by Day (Book of the Dead), occupying the solar bark in the Book of Gates, and beside the tomb of Osiris in the Book of That Which Is in the Undenvorld (Amduat). They adorn the exteriors of New Kingdom royal sarcophagi: the feather patterns on Theban nshi-coffins represent their outstretched wings, and they figure prominently in the vignettes on canonnage coffins of the New Kingdom and later. Funerary scenes in nineteenth dynasty private tombs show Nephthys at the head of the coffin. Isis at the foot. and Anubis administering to the deceased.
From the fifth dynasty onward, female dryt mourners are shown portraying Isis and Nephthys in funerary scenes. Two Graco-Roman versions of the Lamentations of Isis and Nephthys were intended to be performed by women impersonating the goddesses in temples and funerals respectively. There is little evidence for an individual cult of Nephthys, although three twentieth dynasty priests of her cult, and one from the Late Period, are attested. The birthday of Nephthys was celebrated on the last epagomenal day.
Nephthys is usually portrayed as childless, although in some Greco-Roman versions of the Osiris legend, Anubis is the child of Nephthys by Osiris. Other sources list her as the mother of a son by Re and a daughter by Hemen.
Although rarely associated with deities other than Isis. she is occasionally identified with Seshat or Anuket. In the Ptolemaic period, Nephthys attends the Apis bull, and the Greeks sometimes identified her with Aphrodite or Nike.

With a father like Craig Campbell, it's indisputable that country is going to run in your veins and, in 7-year-old Preslee Campbell's case, your voice!
Back in February of this year, Campbell and charming daughter Preslee recorded a heartwarming duet of Meghan Trainor's widely popular hit "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" and gained global praise from both avid country music fans and those who just happened upon the daddy-daughter number.
Well, Preslee is back at it again with a message to all the 'Peter Pans' out there, and she's doing this one solo!
With her mother Mindy Ellis on guitar, Preslee jumps right into her talented rendition of Kelsea Ballerini's popular tune "Peter Pan" and carries the sentimental lyrics with a pure southern twang, no doubt influenced by her father. With much deserved confidence, Preslee delivers a noteworthy performance that leaves us viewers in awe of both her sweet nature and her gifted talent.
We hope to hear more from this star in the making! Until then, be sure to give this little country singer a listen!

Nontraditional Pain Relief Tips And Tricks
When you're suffering from severe pain, you will try anything and everything to help reduce whatever ails you. Been there, done that, right? On your quest for pain relief, you may have tried treatments that were advised from your Doctor, sworn by antidotes you've found online, or remedies passed along from your family. Well aside from general and popular treatment options available to you, we have compiled some nontraditional, and possibly unusual, tips and methods to help ease your pain. Give them a try! It couldn't hurt, right? And no, there was no pun intended.
Sniff a green apple
Yes, that's right. You may have heard the phrase an apple a day keeps the Doctor away, but did you know that the simple aroma of green apples can help reduce your migraine pain? Studies show that if you like the smell of green apples, you may experience a noticeable decrease in migraine pain. One possible reasoning is the fact that the scent may induce positive feelings in those patients whom are favorable to the scent. If you dislike the scent of green apples, however, then it may not help.
Get some better rest
Sleep on your side and on a firm surface. This will help to reduce any curvature in the spine. Place your spine in a neutral position by placing a pillow between your knees as you lay on your side or under your knees if you are sleeping on your back; this will help to alleviate the pressure off your spine. Do not sleep on your stomach as it places your head up versus aligning it with your spine. Also, avoid pillows that are too thick or too firm.
Turn up the music
Listening to music can provide enough distraction so that the focus is taken off your pain. In a conducted study with those whom suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, it has been found that those whom listen to music walked 30% further than those who did walked in silence. This proves to be critically helpful, as those affected by this condition should stay active to increase mobility. Additionally, those who listen to music for an hour a day saw a 12-21% drop in pain compared to those who didn't listen to any music.
Breathe slowly
Naturally, when you're in a lot of pain, you tend to breathe quicker. By slowing down your breathing, your blood can oxygenate, which can then release endorphins and decrease stress levels in your body. Women who have been in labor can attest to this.
Incorporate more ginger into your diet
There was a recent study that ginger can be more effective than ibuprofen for treating pain and inflammation. Similarly to ibuprofen, ginger not only blocks the formation of inflammatory compounds, but it also breaks down existing acidity and inflammation within the joints. Consuming ginger on a daily basis can help reduce swelling and pain and reduce pro-inflammatory proteins called cytokines.
Stay active
While someone experiencing pain may naturally think that bed rest is a good remedy, the opposite is true. While it is not recommended to be highly active or participate in high-contact sports if you are suffering from an injury or pain, spending time on the couch is not going to help you either. In fact, the inactivity can be correlated with your inability to get better. There are often physical requirements which need to be taken to rid of your pain. Muscles need to be worked and strengthened, and in some cases, rebuilt. If you don't work your muscles, they can become inactive, stay in the same position, or become deconditioned which can lead to even more pain. It is imperative to stay active; physical therapy can play a key role in your rehabilitation
Roll away the pain
A tennis ball can provide for an inexpensive and effective tool in relaxing muscle pain. Law on the floor and roll it along your back or lean against a wall and roll around on it to loosen up muscles in hard to reach places. Best of all, you can control the amount of pressure applied.
Bathe in Epsom salts
These salts contain lots of magnesium which can be absorbed through the skin. Add two cups of Epsom salts to your hot bath to reduce swelling and promote the healing or torn muscles. Soak in the bath for 15-20 minutes to allow for full absorption.

Vassilis I. Zannis, PhD
Professor, Medicine
The major focus of our research is on the structure and functions of apoA-I and apoE in relation to the biogenesis of HDL, atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in apoA-I-deficient mice, we have established that apoA-I mutations inhibit discrete steps in a pathway that leads to the biogenesis and remodeling of HDL. To this point, five discrete categories of apoA-I mutants have been characterized that may affect the interactions of apoA-I with ABCA1 or LCAT or may influence the plasma PLTP activity or may cause various forms of dyslipidemia. Biogenesis of HDL is not a unique property of apoA-I. Using adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of apoE in apoA-I- or ABCA1-deficient mice, we have established that apoE also participates in a novel pathway of biogenesis of apoE-containing HDL particles. This process requires the functions of the ABCA1 lipid transporter and LCAT and it is promoted by substitution of hydrophobic residues in the 261 to 269 region of apoE by Ala. The apoE-containing HDL particles formed in the circulation may have atheroprotective properties. ApoE-containing HDL may also have important biological functions in the brain that confer protection from Alzheimer's disease.

I won't deny that I bought Tony Moly facial scrub simply cause I found the packaging irresistible. The product comes in a mug which looks like a real mug full of delicious cappuccino with a milky heart formed on top by some crafty waiter. To open the packaging you need to unscrew the top part et voila, the scrub is there!
The scrub is brown gel-like substance with tiny granules embedded in it which smells insanely of coffee. You are supposed to massage your face till the scrub changes its colour from dark brown to milky beige. When you do so you feel pleasant warmth on your skin. Then you wash it off.
It's supposed to remove impurities from the pores, nourish with milk proteins, and of course exfoliate. The peeling effect is surprisingly subtle, the grains are tiny and soft and they actually dissolve on my face so I think calling it a scrub is misleading cause it doesn't scrub. Which doesn't mean it doesn't work. Quite the contrary.
It exfoliates my face nicely without causing irritations leaving my skin incredibly soft and simply looking and feeling better. It takes only a minute or two to apply and remove and makes such a difference. I'm really glad I got it.
The plastic box the product comes in gives detailed information about how to use the scrub in English an a full list of ingredients.

Ozarka College Reviews
123 reviews
This college is in a small town in the Ozarks. From humble beginnings this school has come so far. I can't complain about my experience here but there are some things that I wish were different. I do not think the classes prepared me well for transferring to a University. I think that the curriculum was a bit elementary and very easy to pull high grades. I also wish there were more diversity (there was not even a foreign language offered.) I think it is important to have different types of people and experiences in college and I can't say that Ozarka fufilled it. I also didn't feel like I was part of anything. This school is just where I went to learn and right when my classes were over I left. I didn't hear about any clubs or organizations and I didn't see any participation either. I think it would be in the school's best interest to encourage their students to interact a bit more, even if it is just a student/teacher appreciation day!
The teachers spend time with you and teach in a way that you get it. If you still don't get what is being taught, they will put it in different ways till you get it. If you don't want to bother the teachers further, there are numerous tutors on campus that will help you with whatever class you are taking. I love that in everything you do, the teachers and the staff encourage you and they don't really feel like teachers, but your friends. They help you to build/choose your career field if you are still undecided, and they also help you to transfer to other universities gradually, so when the time comes it is not a hassle for you. I would like to see more clubs and activities to get students involved more, other than that, the school is great overall.
The campus is very nice and maintained. All of the professors are nice and very helpful! The classes were enjoyable, they were very educational and fun.

MIAMI — The prelims of The Great Dolphin Kick-Off concluded Saturday, the final day of minicamp.
Not much was decided during the past three days of intense competition except that all four contestants deserve further scrutiny.
If coach Don Shula had his druthers, he would have sliced the field in half. Four kickers is too many to bring into training camp. But Shula had little choice. This race is too close to call.
Incumbent Uwe von Schamann remains the man to beat.
``He is our kicker until somebody proves otherwise,`` Shula said.
Von Schamann is confident that when the Dolphins open the season Sept. 8 in Houston the tee will be in his hands.
The disappointments of a year ago -- 10 missed field goals in 19 regular- season attempts -- are little more than a distant memory. The same player who once talked about getting out of South Florida for good now speaks of finishing his career here and proving to the fans, his teammates and himself that he is still a valuable commodity.
Standing in von Schamann`s way are three challengers who could pass as brothers -- three olive-skinned, dark-haired soccer-style kickers, each with the same objective: Beat Uwe.
All seem capable of winning the job. Eddie Garcia and Fuad Reveiz come with excellent credentials. Sam Flores comes with the dream of a longshot. Speculation had it that Shula would release Flores Saturday. Speculation was wrong.
``The kid has a strong, whippy-type leg,`` Shula said. ``All of them have been impressive.``
Garcia is a three-year NFL veteran who was released by Green Bay at midseason last year after pulling a thigh muscle. He beat out Jan Stenerud to win the Packers job and was eventually replaced by Al Del Greco, who lost out to von Schamann last training camp.

Turow Castle in calendar 2019
Spantekow Castle
The Spantekow Castle, surrounded by moats and high castle walls, is raised on a hill south-west of Anklam.
Ulrich I. von Schwerin had this built between 1558 and 1567 on the site of a medieval castle belonging to his family. You enter the courtyard through a fortified gateway which is decorated with a relief of Ulrich von Schwerin and his wife Anna von Arnim. This is where the castle is, built in Renaissance style but later changed. The castle came under the ownership of the Swedish Count von Steenbock in 1634. The castle was razed to the ground by command of the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg in 1677. The castle came under the ownership of the Prussian State in 1720. It was only in 1833 that the von Schwerin family retrieved their property.
The palace was rebuilt between 1899 and 1901, the staircase had a baroque cowling, the central part of the building had more floors added to it and was decorated with a volute. The cross-vaulted cellar supported by huge pillars and the refectory in the northern part, a two-span, arched room with a fireplace from 1576 in the castle interior are notable.
Refugees were accommodated in the castle after 1945 and following that was used as an old people's home.
The castle has been under the ownership of Kaspar Baron v. Harnier since 1999. His grandfather, Hans Bone von Schwerin, was the last lord of Spantekow until 1945.
The castle can be visited by appointment.

The DC zoning update has already had triple the public input as the enormous 1958 zoning code. Enough is enough.
Photo by Live Life Happy on Flickr.
Last week, Mayor Gray asked the DC Zoning Commission to wait until at least this fall before considering the proposed DC zoning update. This comes after nearly seven years of deliberation and resident input, and will now mean an entire year after a full draft was released for public review.
Public involvement is a critical part of good planning, but on this project, city officials have established what must be a new record for public consultation. Already, there has been enormously more public input than when the original zoning code was passed in 1958.
The Coalition for Smarter Growth is urging residents to tell Mayor Gray that further delay in creating a more walkable and inclusive city is simply not acceptable.
As of earlier this year, there have been:
- 81 public work group meetings on 20 topic areas in 2008-2009, with a total of 1,000 participants
- 42 open task force meetings by a representative task force of 25 residents
- 59 public hearings and meetings by the Zoning Commission on specific topics starting in 2009
- 8 meetings in each ward in December 2012 and January 2013 to discuss the zoning revision
- Over 100 ANC, community group, and special interest group meetings with the DC Office of Planning.
Miles away from the 1958 zoning code
Meanwhile, back in 1956-1958, there were no more than 25 public hearings. 20 of those were clustered in two 10-day breaks for public input.
The zoning codes were developed by a private consultant; the public had its input; and then a three-man group called the Zoning Advisory Council made significant alternations.
The Zoning Advisory Council was group of three "experienced" individuals, representing the National Capital Planning Commission, the Zoning Commission, and the District Commissioner. They advised the Zoning Commission when big changes came up. The Zoning Commission had to consider each of their views.
The current zoning update began with public and open working groups on each topic. The previous one began with a contract, in November 1954. At the time, there was no Office of Planning. The National Capital Planning Commission did most of the work. Zoning was the job of the Zoning Commission, which comprised the three District Commissioners, as well as a representative from the Architect of the Capitol and the National Park Service.
Two of the District Commissioners were civilians appointed by Congress. The third, and by far the dominant, was an ex-officio representative of the Army Corps of Engineers. The Engineer Commissioner was effectively the city manager.
Having no planning staff of its own, the Zoning Commission issued a contract in November 1954 for Harold Lewis, a well-respected engineer and urban planner. His father, Nelson Lewis, was a founder of American planning.
Lewis presented his plans over ten summer weeknights, June 18th-29th, 1956. Crowds packed into the stuffy auditoriums of schools and the Wilson building to voice their opinions on Lewis' proposal. Lewis or one of his assistants began each event with a defense of the assumptions that underlay the report.
The public addressed Lewis' plan with a barrage of testy testimony. Unlike the current process, the 1956 commission didn't break up the meeting by topic. This was the first time anyone had seen the proposal.
The zoning change significantly altered the zoning map. Lewis also wanted to force nonconforming structures and uses to close down entirely. And the code dramatically downzoned much of the city.
The 2008-2014 zoning update does not touch this level of controversy. The map does not change, and no areas get upzoned or downzoned. Policy changes, such as the controversial ones around parking, corner stores, and basement and garage apartments, are tiny compared to the changes of 1958.
Lewis took some of the public comments into consideration. He delivered his final report, known as the Lewis Report, on November 9th. A 7-month comment period then began, and ended with 10 days of hearings at the Wilson Building, May 27th-June 6th.
If the summer meetings were hot, this was volcanic. But it ended with the Zoning Advisory Council taking the comments behind closed doors. They issued a report on July 12, 1957. Other than details, the law went into effect on May 12th, 1958. With some alterations, what was set down then is still law.
Little changes shouldn't make it hard to solve big problems
It's not that the 1958 process was better. Far from it; the openness of the current process should be praised. And it's always worth examining how a public process could be more open. However, it's not clear how new rounds of testimony increase participation by underrepresented groups.
More time will just allow vocal residents to rehash the same disputes again. All to defend regulations that, no matter how comfortable they may have become, are based on discredited and outdated theory.
Comprehensively updating our zoning code for the first time since 1958 will help to make housing more affordable, by giving builders more flexible options in construction and easing the rules that allow homeowners to create an accessory apartment.
In a city with housing costs that are rapidly spiraling out of control, we can't afford to waste any more time with unjustified delays. Let the Zoning Commission begin deliberating! Send a message to Mayor Gray that DC residents are ready NOW for a new, modern, and more understandable zoning code.

Between school, sports and social activities, your kids are always on the move. And while it's encouraging to see them so busy and engaged, it's also normal to worry about whether they're getting enough fuel to stay energized.
Here, Susan Kasik-Miller, MS, RD, CNSC, clinical dietitian for HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital, offers insight on how to ensure they receive the 2,000 to 4,000 calories necessary to keep them nourished and strong.
If you follow these suggestions and notice that your child is losing weight or lethargic, it's important to address the situation, as it might go beyond a matter of diet. "Talk to your child and include his or her pediatrician in the conversation," Kasik-Miller says. "Eating disorders can be an issue for athletes, especially among those playing individual sports or sports focused on body image and weight requirements."

J FACTOR A factor used in income property analysis to derive the change in net operating income that is required to realize a certain equity yield rate.
JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY A situation in which a creditor may sue one or more of the parties separately, or all of them together.
JOINT TENANCY A concurrent ownership by two or more persons with the fight of survivorship. This form of ownership is recognized by all but a small handful of states. Upon the death of a joint tenant, the interest does not pass to the joint tenant's heirs or devisees, but to the other joint tenant(s). Effectively, when a joint tenant dies, his or her interest is automatically extinguished. As a result of this, no interest exists which may be passed on after death by will. Likewise, no dower or curtesy can attach. Further, all un-foreclosed liens of one of the joint tenants placed on the land are extinguished. The same result occurs to any easements or leases which were granted by one of the joint tenants without the conveyance by the other joint tenants. Because no interest passes after death, there is no need for probate; the surviving tenant(s) retain the property.
JOINTURE A freehold estate created for the life of a wife and to take effect upon the death of her husband. Under common law, such a provision as jointure was made prior to marriage and was made in lieu of dower.
JOINT VENTURE An agreement by two or more individuals or entities to engage in a single project or undertaking. Joint ventures arc used in real estate development as a means of raising capital and spreading risk. For all practical purposes a joint venture is similar to a general partnership. However, once the purpose of the joint venture has been accomplished, the entity ceases to exist.
JUDGMENT The final legal determination of rights between disputants, such as a mortgagor and a mortgagee, by a court of competent jurisdiction.
JUDGMENT CREDITOR The party who gains under a judgment.
JUDGMENT DEBTOR The person burdened by a judgment.
JUDGMENT LIEN The charge upon the property of a debtor resulting from the decree of a court entered in the judgment docket. Once a certified abstract of the court judgment is recorded, it becomes a lien upon all of the judgment debtor's real and personal property within the jurisdiction. The lien may be suspended by posting a bond until the time for final appeal has expired or an appeal has been turned down by the appellate court. This abstract is recorded in a judgment docket kept by the county clerk or other public official which is arranged alphabetically according to the names of judgment debtors. The abstract places a cloud on the title of all real property owned by the judgment debtor for the statutory time of the judgment lien or until the lien is satisfied. When a judgment is a lien on all the property of the judgment debtor, it is called a judgment in personam as contrasted to a judgment in rem, which applies only to a specific property. 'Me statutory time period is set by state law, in most states ten years.
JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE A means of selling property through a court procedure to satisfy a lien.
JUNIOR LIEN An encumbrance second in priority to a previously recorded lien or to a lien to which the encumbrance has been subordinated.
JUNIOR MORTGAGE A mortgage which has a lower priority or lien position than a first mortgage. A third or even a fourth mortgage is also classified as a junior mortgage. What establishes a mortgage as being a junior mortgage is that it was recorded after the first mortgage was recorded and thus its lien position is inferior to the first mortgage.
JURISDICTION The extent of authority of a court to render legal decision over person or subject matter.
JUST COMPENSATION Fair and reasonable compensation to both owner and the public when property is taken for public use through condemnation. Protection is provided to property owners under the U.S. Constitution for the taking of land. The Fifth Amendment provides that 'just compensation' must be made.

Today when I stepped off the elevator I saw her slowly pushing her chair blindly towards me away from the direction of her room. She was deep in thought mumbling incoherent questions, seemingly unconscious of her surroundings as she wheeled by with much effort. "I love you, where am I? Take me to my room" A sadness filled my heart as I gripped her hand and said a simple hello.
That's the sad part about nursing homes...most people go there to die....well no one uses those words, but for the majority of admissions, that is the reason they go there...to wait, but hopefully live well till that time comes. I've gone there 3-5 times a week for over 3 years, so I have seen many come and go. Susie was a perkie lady always dressed to kill with accessories that rarely matched. In the beginning, she looked quite nice, I hardly even knew she was wearing a wig. Her mind had already slipped but she was friendly and outgoing. Not exactly appropriate at times, one day she noticed my adorable grandson in my daughter's arms, and asked about the number of my son-in-law's testicles!
Another day she rolled into the front of the chapel and yelled, "Good morning everyone!" Silence, dead silence..... then..."Well I know I'm Jewish but I know how to say hello!" From the back of the room a voice boomed, "Good morning Susie!!..God bless you!" It was Daniel, a rather large Phillipino man, crippled by a stroke. I recognized him from Mass, he'd say every line of the liturgy with such feeling and always greeted everyone with a "God bless you!"
The road down hill leads to our floor, though it is referred to as "stepped-up care" I remember the day Susie arrived on our floor, I was sad to see her there, surely she was deteriorating. But as her eye caught mine she yelled..."Oh no....it's you, Miss America!!! And you have your own teeth! And I love you!"
Slowly, Susie has gone downhill. Her clothes are soiled with food early in the day, her chair which she once decorated with a million plastic bags tied to it's arms, go unnoticed by her now. Her lap, usually filled with her overflowing purse, is empty. Her pale white face, void of make-up bears the signs of old age, now a troubled, wearied, worried state. But she always has her wig on, even if it's slipping.
I'm a person who celebrates life, all life. I've been to births and many deaths. I believe in life, even when it's broken by time....I believe in the value of every life and celebrate it, even the lives of those who have grown old, whose stories are silenced...but today I am just sad..Susie's wig is gone.

You have to put on your oxygen mask first.
You can't take care of your kids if you don't take care of yourself.
Happy wife, happy life.
We hear it all the time, and we know, we know. We're supposed to focus on ourselves. This practice has been lovingly dubbed self-care.
This is why it's bullshit.
You're a busy mom.
I don't mean that you have a few errands to run or dinners to prep. You do EVERYTHING. Your body contained a squatter for 9 months, living off of you. Feeding off of you. If you breastfed after your baby was born, you continued to be a 24-hour diner, complete with a self-serve milkshake fountain.
You also became somehow responsible for helping another human relax, feel comforted, sleep. That sounds sweet and calming. It's not. It's super stressful.
Your brain became accosted by resident thoughts that were directed solely toward your child. They had to do with poop, food, your baby's temperature, milestones.
In short, your mind was teeming with someone else's entire nervous system. Somehow, it was up to you to figure out if your child should be pointing and smiling yet. And it was up to you to fix it.
You're not taking care of yourself.
At some point, you get an inkling that you're also supposed to be managing your own nervous system. Yes, that comprehensive part of your body that involves—I don't know—everything. You realize that you're no longer in control of your own brain, your own emotions, your own motor control. You are barely able to focus on preparing food for yourself or dealing with your own hygiene.
Self-care makes you human again.
In a well-meaning attempt to get back on the road to being human, someone tells you that you should practice more self-care. It's all over the mommy groups. There are coaches out there that encourage you to do this.
So you make time for a manicure. You buy yourself luxury soap and actually use it in the shower. You go out for wine with the girls. Your partner lets you sleep in on Saturday.
You're doing it. You somehow made time for yourself.
You stay stuck in the cycle.
But it's not working. You still feel like you need a year-long vacation, and you wonder when it's all going to feel easier. So you ditch the self-care and go back to your old ways.
And nothing really changes.
The problem with self-care is that it's a Band-Aid. It's a quick fix. Sure, you'll get a moment to yourself. Of course, you'll smell better when you're done with that shower.
But if you don't take it to the next level, you'll simply end up being a very well-groomed mother who meditates sometimes and chugs lemon water as she yells at her kids and lives in a whirlwind of guilt, overwhelm and resentment.
Yes, you have to start somewhere.
When you're trapped in the heavy cyclone of diapers, insecurity and a strained marriage, getting a 5-minute shower can seem like a gift from the heavens.
But if that's all you focus on, that's all you're going to get.
At some point, you need to graduate.
Before you had kids, did you stress about taking your daily shower? Would you ever have thought twice about eating a meal because you were too busy making food for other people?
There's this thing that mothers do that makes self-care seem to be the holy grail of fulfillment.
News flash: Showering, eating, brushing your teeth and taking a moment to yourself are normal things that humans are supposed to do automatically. They aren't supposed to be these blissful goals for which you reward yourself when you achieve them.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't strive to get back to this sense of normalcy as a mother. In fact, you have to take baby steps, because going from where you are now to becoming that fulfilled, purposeful, happy woman that you know you can be would feel so daunting that you'd never even get out of bed if you didn't start somewhere.
But once you've made time for self-care, you need to graduate. Instead of being the ultimate goal, self-care needs to be the norm.
Once it becomes habit, you can have fulfillment, purpose, balance and bliss in your life. You can start to realize that there is more to life and you can have it. You can begin to reemerge as the woman who has become transformed by motherhood instead of swallowed by it.

The recently widely proliferated automatic gearbox, which is now in more than a million vehicles around the world, is poised to save drivers an estimated 700+ million gallons of fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes (an expected cost savings of $2.5 billion). In addition, Chrysler expects a reduction in CO2 emissions by more than six million metric tons.

Centre for Sustainable Business
Sustainable modes of business, including meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, according to the Brundtland Report (1987, United Nations) and principles of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), are part of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth.
Sustainability, as a principle for development, has been promoted in the global agenda as a result of rising planetary challenges such as climate change, population growth, resources depletion and the most recent financial crisis. It illustrates how the challenges that globalisation poses to governments, the business sector and society at large have moved to the forefront.
Sustainability is a multifaceted concept with environmental, economic and social dimensions. Sustainable business is business that can sustain itself when facing competition and economic downturns. Sustainable business also adopts strategies that benefit the local community and, therefore guarantees long-term mutual benefits. Sustainable business is also business that guarantees the protection of natural resources, limits its ecological footprint and contributes to find workable answers to climate change.
At the core of sustainable business, there is the concept of corporate social responsibility, i.e. the ethical responsibilities companies face during their daily operations. Recent economic and financial crises have showed that corporate social responsibility plays an important role in a business's ability to prevent scandals, to be more reactive in a changing environment, as well as to innovate, incorporating wider stakeholder groups. There is no longer the question of 'if' CSR is important for business operations, rather, how can CSR integration in core business strategy.
The Centre for Sustainable Business at SSE Riga (CSB) at SSE Riga was founded in 2012. Its aim is to foster a discussion in the business community as well as in society in general on sustainability on all its dimensions. To raise the awareness about the importance of sustainability, CSB, in cooperation with its partners, provides research studies, publications, teaching, training, and contributes actively to public debates. The Sustainable Business Centre activities covers Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, but its reach is broader, including Scandinavia and the rest of Europe.
In order to raise the awareness of sustainable business, the CSB undertakes various activities.
- Teaching
The CSB is in charge of the course Ethics and Sustainable Business at the undergraduate level at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. The course is also offered in other institutions such as Sciences Po Lille (France). Also, the CSB is engaged in a process for developing courses within SSE Riga as well as content and pedagogical resources with partner universities. The objective is to train future generations of economic, social and political leaders to sustainable and ethical business.
In addition, the Centre works through SSE Riga Executive Education programmes, recognising the fact than an important mission for the Centre is to foster implementation of sustainable thinking in companies in the Baltic region and beyond. SSE Riga Executive Education will, in cooperation with the Centre as well as with international partners, develop training programmes for management in the region with a focus on CSR and CR.
- Research
The CSB carries on research on various fronts. First of all, to understand the business environment in terms of sustainable (as well as unsustainable) business practices, there is a need to undertake research that is applied to the Baltic context. The CSB also undertakes research in relation to the economics, politics and ethics of climate change. Since one of the most serious and pressing challenge to socioeconomic development stems from man-gauged climate change and resources depletion, one of the missions of the CSB is to investigate the economic, political and ethical dimensions of this looming threat. The research activities include articles, public lectures, collaborative projects with other European institutions, organization of workshops and conferences on the topic related to sustainability.
Examples of research areas include the waste of human, energy, and environmental resources, unjust and openly illicit business practices (e.g. corruption and grey economy activities), governance, tax related behaviour, sponsorship and corporate citizenship, and corporate social responsibility (taking a stance and acting upon it).
The research of CSB has resulted in empirical findings, regularities and trends that form the basis for the Centre's various activities, including involvement in the policy debate.
- Events/Policy activities
An integral part of the Centre's activities is to raise awareness of sustainable business. This includes an active communication both with policy makers, industry and wider audience involving events such as conferences, open lectures and seminars, workshops, guest lectures, roundtables, and media activities (e.g. interviews, tribunes, press conferences).

Time to craft
Although I seem to spend most of my time crocheting I have still managed to paint this week and complete the design module for my Cit and Guilds course.
This set was done in stylecraft chunky and I got the patterns via Hopeful Honey. They were quick to do but took five weeks for the buttons to be delivered.
The stylecraft kitten was made for a gift nd I did the matching patchwork bag.
Above is the beginning of an alpaca throw for myself.this yarn has been in my stash for a while, surprise,surprise
A new baby blanket started in one of the new stylecraft Wondersoft colours and also stared a bunny in it as well
I think it's my favourite out of the three new colours.
Below the base for a new oil painting in progress
Oh and not to forget the N.I Big sock continues with more donations coming in.

The Sports Xchange
Texas ends skid with tight win over Baylor
AUSTIN, Texas -- After dropping two games on a rough road trip to Iowa State and Kansas last week, No. 24 Texas returned home to wrestle one away from pesky Baylor.
The Sports Xchange
Texas ends skid with tight win over Baylor
AUSTIN, Texas -- After dropping two games on a rough road trip to Iowa State and Kansas last week, No. 24 Texas returned home to wrestle one away from pesky Baylor.
The Longhorns saw an 18-point lead dissolve to one point, but Texas held on for a 74-69 victory over the Bears on Wednesday at the Frank Erwin Center.
With Texas clutching a 70-69 advantage in the final minute, Longhorns guard Isaiah Taylor went to the elbow, spun away from Baylor guard Kenny Chery, then hit a wide-open bank shot in the lane to boost the Longhorns' margin back to three with 47 seconds left.
Baylor would not score again, which Texas center Cameron Ridley made sure of with a vital block of a Chery jumper in the lane.
The Longhorns (21-7, 10-5 Big 12) saw their chances to win a regular-season Big 12 championship all but slip away when they were hammered by 31 points at Kansas on Saturday. The Jayhawks then clinched a share of the conference title with a win over Oklahoma on Monday.
Even so, Longhorns coach Rick Barnes liked what he saw down the stretch with Taylor's basket and Ridley's block.
"I love it," Barnes said. "I believe there are going to be times in every game where you have to have somebody that can go get one and you have to have somebody who will make a stop."
Chery finished with a game-high 27 points, but he could not bring the Bears all the way back. Ridley, who had four fouls when he made the last-minute block, said he wasn't too worried about fouling out at that point.
"The whole game he was attacking the basket," Ridley said. "I could tell, the way he was driving, he was going to shoot it. I tried not to foul him, but I wanted to block the shot."
Baylor (18-10, 6-9) had won four straight before Wednesday, but the Bears now face the possibility of having a losing record in conference. Baylor hosts Texas Tech and Iowa State before finishing the regular season on the road at Kansas State.
"These last games right here decide what's going to happen after our season," said Baylor forward Cory Jefferson, who finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds. "We've got to go out and play more like we did in the second half than the first."
Texas guard Javan Felix hit seven of nine 3-pointers to lead the Longhorns with 21 points. Ridley finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Taylor scored 13 and handed out seven assists, serving as the Longhorns' catalyst.
"It all started with Isaiah getting his space," Barnes said. "The point guard has got to attack cracks. If he doesn't, it all gets out of seam."
After shooting 25 percent from the field in the first half, Baylor warmed up to start the second half, hitting six of its first eight shots and cut Texas' 15-point lead at the break to four when guard Brady Heslip hit a 3-pointer at the 14:24 mark.
Chery hit three treys in the first 11 minutes of the second half, and Bears forward Royce O'Neale's 3-pointer at the 8:56 mark sliced the Longhorns' lead to two.
However, Baylor failed to tie it before Texas seized momentum again.
Longhorns forward Jonathan Holmes made a dazzling, back-to-the-basket reverse layup. Then a Heslip air ball on one end, signaling the end of the Bears' hot streak, was followed by Holmes jumper on the next trip down the floor, putting Texas ahead 67-60. Holmes finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
Taylor followed with a jumper to cap an 8-1 run that proved vital to Texas' cause.
Texas threatened to bury Baylor early as Felix threw in two 3-pointers and Ridley completed a three-point play during the Longhorns' 12-1 run in the first five minutes.
Chery fought back, hitting two 3-pointers and adding a jumper during a 10-3 answer that cut Texas' lead to 15-13 with 12:52 left in the first half. But Felix stayed hot, and Taylor and Ridley pitched in to help the Longhorns establish an 18-point lead when Felix hit his fifth 3-pointer of the first half at the 2:20 mark.
Felix was 5-for-5 from 3-point range in the first 20 minutes, accounting for all of his 15 points and propelling Texas. Taylor had five assists in the first half and began connecting on his preferred floater shot to score six points in the half.
"I thought they were more physical than us," Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "They got 50-50 balls, we didn't. We'd been scoring in the post the last few games, and I thought their physicality really bothered us. In the second half, we answered the bell, but you have to do that for 40 minutes."
Chery scored 14 in the first half, but the rest of the Bears shot 17 percent and Texas led 32-27 at the break.
NOTES: Texas defeated Baylor 74-60 in Waco in the teams' first meeting in Big 12 play this season. It was the third game in the Longhorns' streak of four consecutive wins over ranked opponents. ... Texas G Isaiah Taylor scored his season-high 27 points in the Longhorns' first game against Baylor. He finished with 13 points and seven assists Wednesday. ... Bears F Cory Jefferson reached the 1,000-point mark for his career with a put-back in the first half. He is the 28th player to reach 1,000 points at Baylor. ... Texas coach Rick Barnes is 14-2 against Baylor in games played in Austin.

text: Post your best quotes! (From book, Movies etc, not from you.) Here's mine: "It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination." "Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing." "Have a drink. Enjoy yourself. Which? The two are mutually exclusive." -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Far more specific than a clothes brush, this old brush is especially for felt hats. It looks somewhat like an over sized toothbrush. It has a slightly curved, painted wood handle with long, natural bristles. On the handle it reads; Do you wear The Gordon Hat. This refers to the Gordon Ferguson company of St.Paul Minnesota. The brush is also marked with a small circle that reads; Made in Germany. I believe this is from the early 1900's.
It measures about 7 7/8" in length by 7/8" at the widest. The bristles are about 1" long and the surface area is about 4" by ¾". Overall it is in very nice condition with minor wear. There is some minor paint loss and a few wild bristles.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.

Actress Tea Leoni has reportedly found romance with Tim Daly, her co-star in hit new TV drama Madam Secretary.
Leoni and Daly play an onscreen couple in the new series, and they have taken the relationship offscreen, according to E! News.
A source tells the website that the romance is "relatively new".
Daly, 58, was previously married to actress Amy Van Nostrand for 28 years until their divorce in 1982, while Leoni, 48, had a high-profile relationship with The X-Files alum David Duchovny, and officially filed for divorce from the actor in June (14). They wed in 1997 and separated in 2008 when he entered rehab for sex addiction. The couple reconciled but split again in 2011.
Ironically, both Daly and Leoni attended the same boarding school in Vermont, but graduated 10 years apart.
