Also, for Grades 5-8 and Grade 12, there will be an advance payment of up to $280-350 for class trips. Student Accident Insurance ($65) and Tuition Refund Plan (0.45% of tuition) are optional charges and will appear on the June bill as such.An annual technology fee of $140 is assessed for our 1:1 iPad program for students in Grades 3-12. This fee covers approximately 1/3 of the costs of the iPad program including the iPad and insurance.
Other optional costs include before and after school transportation and our extended day and enrichment programs.
Do you have Tuition Payment Plans?
- Two Payment Plan (June 25 and November 25) Payments may be made in two installments, with one half of tuition due by June 25 and the balance, less the $2,500 deposit, due by November 25.

The Most Relaxing Ways to Get Drunk
Drunkenness gets a lot of press. Wild, crazy, stupid drunkenness that is. Relaxing, lazy inebriation is much less written about. And that's surprising, as it's a really lovely state of being. So now you have it, a list for all the mellow drunks, the ones who cherish the pleasant numbing feeling of alcohol slowly traveling through the veins, warming the body, loosening the muscles, inducing a welcome sleepiness of the body and the mind.
What are the most relaxing ways to get drunk? Extensive research turned up a few common themes: 1) Drinking alcohol in or near water is calming and enjoyable. 2) Drinking to cool down or warm up does the body right. 3) Already being sleepy, and drinking liquor to get sleepier, is very nice. 4) Drinking immediately following strenuous physical exertion has a yin and yang kind of balancing effect, as your sporty self moves into the realm of feeling no pain.But really, who cares?! Analysis takes energy, and that's contrary to the spirit of this list. Don't overthink it. Recall your favorite drunken muscle memories and vote up the most relaxing ways to get drunk (or add any we missed!)

Those who have attended the 75th Sturgis rally and who visited the Michael Lichter's "Naked Truth" exhibition got a chance to see up close this chopper beauty stripped down to its mechanical essence. Modeled after the 70's choppers, it features some new "classic" modern parts that builder Ken Nagai is currently introducing as part of his new . Among them, the Gang Star wheels, the Shovelhead Vintech Rocker Covers, the Vintech Air Cleaner.
Naked, unencumbered by unnecessary accessories, paint and graphics, offering an open view from every angle, Gang Star is the type of custom bike for which I don't feel the necessity to write 800 words to describe it to you. I will just mention a flawless steel body work, a very cool looking inboard dual function calipers setup, an Al Strong kicker arm and a gorgeous seat by Ace at Back Drop. For the rest, admire the details and the craftsmanship required to create them. . (photos courtesy K. Nagai)

**** PNG and ADB Work to Enhance Communications on Projects ****
October 6, 2016
The Prime Minister, Hon. Peter O'Neill CMG MP, has welcomed the Asian Development Bank's commitment to Papua New Guinea that he said is delivering tangible benefits for the nation.
Meeting in Port Moresby this week, the Prime Minister and the Director General of the Pacific Department of the ADB, Mr Xianbin Yao, discussed a range of issues relating to the ADB's ongoing support to Papua New Guinea.
In particular, the Prime Minister welcomed the ADB's interest in expanding core infrastructure around the nation and investment in primary healthcare.
However, the Prime Minister expressed concern that there are bottlenecks in communications between departments and the ADB that is causing delays in the delivery of projects.
"The people of our nation lose when the bureaucracy does not talk effectively with our development partners," the Prime Minister said following the meeting with the ADB Director General.
"I will speak further with our department heads and other agencies and see how we can do more as a Government bureaucracy to have clearer lines of communication.
"We are seeing bottlenecks, we are seeing delays and we are seeing people around our country missing out on greater opportunities for development.
"There is no bad intent on the part of the bureaucracy, but we just have to work harder to understand what is needed by our partners, like the ADB, for them to invest."
This was the second meeting in two months between the Prime Minister and the Director General, after they met on the sidelines of the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in Phonpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia, in September.
"Papua New Guinea and the Asian Development Bank have a relationship that is going from strength-to-strength and we are committed to ADB for long term development.
"We will further advance plans in areas that include energy production, agriculture capacity building, port infrastructure and healthcare.
"The projects that the ADB is interested in expanding affect grassroots people right around our nation and have immediate positive impact.
"If we can make agriculture more cost effective for our farmers, deliver more electricity and strengthen healthcare delivery, we change lives for the better.
"On some of the larger projects we will explore opportunities to involve more private sector companies through public private partnerships.
"PPPs provide the best access to resources and sectoral knowledge and make project delivery more efficient."
The Prime Minister said the Government will continue to work with the ADB's Country Director, Marcelo Minc, to complete existing projects and advance new proposals.

Here's a salad to boast about! On some nights the problem is finding something to make that won't taste run of the mill but is idiot-proof.
The solution? Roasting and grilling!
Roasting and grilling brings sophistication to veggies. Broccoli for example is boring and waiting for dip or hummus when it's raw, but after a drizzle of olive oil and some heat it becomes something altogether different (and exciting)!
I looked like a cartoon character with my head in the frig and giggling like a maniac as I pulled out vegetables. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, corn sailed overhead and landed on the granite counter top like astronauts ejected out of the space shuttle…
A great salad has fresh greens and a light dressing in order to savor the individual flavor of each ingredient. The result was just perfect.
Crusty bread is a nice addition.
There's a local pizzeria that sells organic baguettes- I'm pretty sure it's made with rosemary infused oil. The outside is textured and crusty without being too hard. When you break a piece off the inside is fluffy and dense at the same time. Amazing, right?! And when you take a bite, you inhale.
The rosemary wafts in your nose and then….you chew.
I call it magic bread.
Ooops sorry- I digress. But yeah, bread with the salad. Go for it. It's tasty.
- Brussels sprouts (sliced in half)
- Broccoli
- Carrots (cut in 1 in. pieces)
- Fresh corn (cut off of the ear)
- 2 T olive oil (or non-stick spray)
- 1/2 T oregano (dried)
- salt and pepper to taste
For the salad
- Spring greens
- Cucumbers (sliced)
- Red onions (very, very thinly sliced)
- vegan feta or regular feta cheese (optional)
- Olive oil
- Fresh lemon Juice
- Salt and pepper
- Pre-heat oven to 450-475 ( or heat grill, or use a grill pan- see so many many ways to dress this up!)
- In a bowl coat vegetables with olive oil and spices
- Place vegetable on a cookie sheet
- Roast vegetables for 35-45 minutes checking them every ten minutes and turning them after 20 minutes
- Combine vegetables salad ingredients
- Dress the salad with lemon juice and olive oil
- Add salt and pepper and toss
Namaste y'all.

Franklin Public Schools Free and Reduced Lunch Program
New Online Free & Reduced Price School Meals Family Application Opens August 1st
If your financial situation changes at anytime throughout a school year you can submit a Free & Reduced Price School Meals Family Application. When students become free or reduced the district office automatically changes the student status in our lunch computer. This way it prevents any cashier from overtly identifying students on this program.
The high school doesn't send out low balance notices but the cashiers will start telling your student their money is running low when it starts to reach around $5.00. It is up to them to dismiss the information if it doesn't apply to them because of their status, again the cashiers do not know who are free or reduced.

Contrast is essential for any successful landscape design. Contrast helps the eye to spot different shapes and levels, and can be the key to adding dimension to your yard. Without contrast, your landscaping can look flat and dull or perhaps so cluttered that it is just overwhelming.
So what are some of the different ways to create contrast?
There are many ways, to create contrast and you may already be using many of these without even realizing it:
Plant textures: Silver Mound Artemisia has a soft, matte, grey texture that makes it a great contrast to the shiny mound of large burgundy leaves of the Coral Bells.
Plant shapes: The rounded broccoli-like flower heads of the tall Purple Stonecrop stand out against the pointy, upright spikes of the Spiky Speedwell or Blue Sage. Round Globe Cedars also look great up against, the grassy spilling leaves of Daylilies.
Leaf variety: Leaf contrast is often used in shade borders. The big round leaves of Hostas contrast well against the tiny leaves of groundcovers like Bearberry or Creeping Jenny.
Mass: Big, bold, top heavy coneflowers like Black Eyed Susans or Echinacea look great growing against a backdrop of airy feathery grasses. This combination is great for late summer and fall interest.
Colour: Burgundy Purple Leaf Sand Cherries are complemented by the tiny golden leaves of Goldmound Spirea. Bold orange Asiatic Lilies also look great growing above the delicate small blue flowers of Brookside Cranesbill.
With our 30% OFF outdoor clear-out sale starting this Friday, now is a great time to pick up some of these amazing shrubs and perennials and get a great deal on them at the same time.

Competition transportation services company is currently quite tight, with many consumers who membutuhkanya. So many companies engaged in the service offering the product with the advantages of each. This can be seen with the increasing number of new manufacturers in the transportation industry in Indonesia, particularly on buses. So today many companies such as bus transport services that compete by providing good enough service for example by providing adequate facilities for its customers are satisfied with the services these companies and give priority service to vehicle comfort. Consumers today are expected with the various alternatives in selecting an appropriate transportation services company with interests and needs. Consumers do not just buy products but at the same time buy services attached to them. In general, consumers will feel happy if served with a polite, friendly, with great attention and considered important so that there will be satisfaction in the purchase of goods or services and become loyal to the company. This study includes quantitative research. Where the population is a night bus passengers in the terminal Arjosari Malang, this dipenelitian sample of 60 people taken using accidental sampling technique. While collecting the data used is the scale, namely: the scale of service quality and customer loyalty scale. The data analysis method used in this study are product moment correlation. The results show (r = 0687 and p = 0.000) that there is a very significant positive relationship between service quality and loyalty of consumers. This means that if the quality of services provided by transportation services firms is high then the higher the customer loyalty to the firm transportation service, and if the quality of services provided by transportation services company that is also low, so low customer loyalty. The effective contribution of service quality to customer loyalty is at 47.2% so there is still a contribution of 52.8% from other factors not examined.

The Javi sweater gives the knitter a chance to play with color, which some crafters find exciting and others find a little scary--combining colors can be daunting.
I knit the original sample in a collection of greens I thought really popped against the neutral beige (Oyster Heather). I encourage you to experiment to find your perfect color combo for this piece.
But just in case you're a knitter who gets stomach butterflies when considering color options, here are a few more combos you might consider:
Sapphire Heather, Baltic Heather and Wonderland Heather
Chocolate, Chestnut and Camel Heather
Saffron, Pumpkin and Mai Tai Heather
Hollyberry, Rouge and Blossom Heather
Blackberry, Amethyst Heather and Haze Heather
For all of these options, Oyster Heather makes a fine neutral, but you might also consider Dove Heather, or plain old White.
Or change things up--use neutrals for the colorblocks and something fun and bright for the main color. Or pair a color changing yarn with a solid color. Really, the possibilities are endless--and exciting!
And now, something even more exciting! A giveaway!
Would you like a Javi sweater kit of your very own, in the color combination of your choice? Of course you would. Leave a comment on this post to be entered to win! Want an extra entry? Tweet this:

Srila Prabhupada explains in many places that the human form of life is a juncture at which one can elevate or degrade himself.
What is the value of atonement if the propensity to commit sin is still there?
One reaction for sinful activities is the continued tendency to commit sinful activities.
One cannot counteract one fruitive activity with another fruitive activity. The analogy given is counteracting a bad dream with a hallucination.
An intelligent person does not endeavor for happiness because it will come without asking just like misery comes without our asking for it. Rather he endeavors to satisfy the Lord and thus transcend his sinful life. [Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.5.18]
The story of Ajamila is an important example of the potency of the holy name.
Because Ajamila was not intentionally calling out the name of Narayana to become free from sins he did not commit the offense of committing sins on the strength of chanting.
Conversing with the Yamadutas, the Vishnudutas argued, "What is the point of punishing Ajamila since he has already purified himself from his sinful tendencies by chanting the holy name of the Lord?"
Usually, Srila Prabhupada would just print 20,000 copies of each volume of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, but Srila Prabhupada initially printed 100,000 copies of the Sixth Canto, Part One, then another 100,000 copies later. This is because he felt the story of Ajamila's becoming free from his sinful life by the power of the holy name was so relevant to the people he was reaching out to.
Having once heard the holy name, we should stay in the association of devotees and look for opportunities to increase our taste for the chanting.
Srila Prabhupada, as Lord Caitanya's representative, came to give us this chanting process which is the most powerful way of purifying our hearts, and we should remain faithful to it.
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura would emphasize that Siksastaka 3 is the siddha-pranali verse, the verse by which one can attain spiritual perfection: "One who thinks himself lower than the grass, who is more tolerant than a tree, and who does not expect personal honor but is always prepared to give all respect to others can very easily always chant the holy name of the Lord."
In applying Siksastaka 3, it is very important not to wish ill on those who cause us distress.
Comment by Narayana: I heard in a class that Krishna is not concerned with a person's past activities or present thoughts but one's present intentions. Could you elaborate?
Answer: Krishna is bhava-grahi. He accepts the essence, which is the devotion in the heart. If one has developed his love and attachment for Krishna, then Krishna will not consider the rest. It is not just one's intentions but one's genuine devotion to Him. There is a verse stating that one who is a pure devotee has no obligations to others, but we have to be careful to avoid not caring what others think when we are not yet on the platform of pure devotion.
If we are always endeavoring to please the Supreme Lord, it is like we are always facing the sun, and thus we will always be in light.
Until it becomes natural to be humble, we have to practice being humble.
We cannot become humble by our own efforts. There is not a humble switch we can press. We need the Lord's mercy. We know what to pray for, "Please help me to be humble in this situation."
If something keeps on happening again and again, we should try to learn from it. We can pray for help in dealing with it.
Srila Prabhupada would say if there is a quality we lack but someone else has, if we serve that person, we will acquire that quality.
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says, "It is proper to show anger toward those envious of Krishna, however, I should look within myself and first be angry with myself for being envious of Krishna. Only after eliminating the envy of Krishna in myself can I succeed in freeing others from such envy."
From a morning class in Hartford temple:
Vyasadeva advised his son, "You are causing your mother so much pain. Please come out of the womb." Sukadeva was not inclined because he did not want to be affected by maya. Vyasadeva promised Suka he would not be affected by maya, but Suka, seeing Vyasadeva himself was attached to wife and son, did not believe him. Suka said he would only believe the controller of maya, the Lord Himself. Thus Vyasadeva went to Dvaraka and explained the situation to Krishna, and Krishna came and assured him.
After assuring Sukadeva that he would not be affected by maya when he came out of the womb, Lord Krishna told Vyasadeva, "Your son speaks attractively like a parrot. Let his name be Suka."
Vyasadeva attracted Sukadeva Goswami to return home to study Srimad-Bhagavatam with him by having his disciples speak verses from Srimad-Bhagavatam where Sukadeva could hear them. According to Baladeva Vidyabhusana, those verses praised Krishna for elevating Putana to the position of mother in the spiritual world and for humbly acting as servant of the Pandavas. The verse about Putana is "Alas, how shall I take shelter of one more merciful than He who granted the position of mother to a she-demon [Putana] although she was unfaithful and she prepared deadly poison to be sucked from her breast?" (Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.2.23)
In Laghu-bhagavatamrita, Rupa Goswami shows how Krishna is most worshipable because of being superior in qualities to the other incarnations of the Lord. Rama and Nrsimha are just below Krishna in the hierarchy of incarnations, also being especially worshipable (para-avasta avatars), but not quite as much so as Krishna Himself. In particular, when Krishna kills demons, they get salvation because He situates Himself in their hearts and establishes a relationship with them.
Another reason Jaya and Vijaya chose to take birth as demons [besides taking just three births in the material world instead of seven] is they heard the bards of Vaikuntha chant the glories of Lord Narayana for coming to the material world to kill the demons, and thus they developed the desire to assist Him those pastimes.
Hiranyakasipu took his birth again because he was not aware of the divinity of Lord Nrsimha who killed him. Ravana also was not aware of the divinity of Lord Ramacandra and so took birth again as Sisupala. Sisupala was aware of the divinity of Lord Krishna, but because of he was envious of Him as the Supreme Lord, by continually vibrating His holy name in criticism he developed a personal relationship with Him.
There were 60,000 sages assembled in Naimisaranya.
Pariksit Maharaja summarizes the Srimad-Bhagavatam to his mother, Uttara, in what Sanatana Goswami presents as Brhad-bhagavatamrita, which establishes Krishna as supreme of all incarnations. Laghu-bhagavatamrita is a smaller work with the same theme by Rupa Goswami, who did not want to surpass his brother, Sanatana.
Jaya and Vijaya only came once. In other kalpas, real demons play those roles of Hiranyakasipu, Ravana, and Sisupala, and only Sisupala attains liberation because of being killed by Krishna, the original form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Krishna, as time is killing everyone, and those who are conscious that Krishna is killing them at the time of death, go back to the spiritual world.
Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explains that the first half of Bhagavad-gita 9.29, "I am equal to everyone" refers to the Supersoul while the second half, "I am a friend to the devotees," refers to Krishna Himself as Bhagavan.
From a Sunday feast lecture in Hartford on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.9.16:
Bhisma's instruction indicates that Krishna does have a plan although we cannot completely understand it.
Krishna demonstrated that he values the keeping the promise of his devotee, in this case, Bhisma, who promised to force Krishna to fight in order to save Arjuna's life, at the expense of his own promise not to take up weapons.
Prahlada Maharaja's good qualities are described to be a result of his previous activities. Narada could understand he was a great devotee, even when in the womb, and thus Narada advised Indra not to try to kill him. After hearing from Narada in the womb, Prahlada became even a greater devotee.
Draupadi asked why Krishna took so long to rescue her. Krishna explained to Draupadi that she first appealed to Bhisma, then she appealed to her husbands, then she tried to protect herself, and finally she depended completely on Him, and at that point He immediately came to her rescue.
Because Krishna knows in detail about a person previous lives, present activities, and internal situation, he can determine the person's next life.
Krishna says in effect, "Those who know Me know enough about Me to know that I am all good."
Krishna may seem extreme in his treatment of a particular devotee, but He may be treating that devotee to finish up everything for him in just one life.
Srila Prabhupada said that one can act under the protection of Krishna by following Krishna's instructions in the same spirit that Arjuna followed them.
Although we cannot fully understand Krishna's plan, we should understand Krishna's order and be obedient to it.
If we always make plans for the Lord's service that are blessed by our guru and the Vaishnavas, although there may be obstacles, we can continue to be enthusiastic. If we are successful, we should give credit to those who gave their blessings.
It is sometimes difficult to keep on going if we are not convinced that what we are doing is Krishna's plan.
If we try to overcome material nature by our own efforts, at some point will realize what we are up against, and then surrender to Krishna.
From a Sunday feast lecture in Brooklyn:
Srila Prabhupada would sometimes inspire competition among the devotees, knowing that it could bring out the best in us and also bring out the worst in us.
Srila Prabhupada said many times "these books are my life and soul." He would say it again and again with tears in his eyes.
"This, our book distribution is the most important task in our society. Therefore I am giving so much stress, and I am working so hard on this. Because this is my life and soul according to the order of my Guru Maharaja. And by his grace it is to some extent successful. And I took it seriously. I take it seriously still now. That is my life and soul. I never tried in India to construct big temples or even in your country we didn't. I never tried. But I was selling personally books. That is the history." (Srila Prabhupada, Room Conversation, December 31, 1976)
In Ukraine we showed the video of Vaisesika Prabhu called "Be a Giver" to two hundred devotee counselors. The theme is the more you give the more you grow.
Although we do many things to take care of devotees, an important way of taking care of devotees is instilling in them faith in pure devotional service.
"Pure devotional service rendered to the Supreme Lord is spiritually so potent that simply by hearing about such transcendental service, by chanting its glories in response, by meditating on it, by respectfully and faithfully accepting it, or by praising the devotional service of others, even persons who hate the demigods and all other living beings can be immediately purified." (Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.2.12)
Without pure devotional service, everything else is a show, Prahlada Maharaja told his friends.
Our qualification is to hear about pure devotional service.
Srila Prabhupada was very expert in encouraging us to do something wonderful for Krishna.
Although Srila Prabhupada warned us about being fanatical, we were still fanatical.
During the marathon, we would distribute books from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Then on Saturday night we began to stay out later, sometimes to 2:00 a.m. After that we began to fast on Saturday so we would have more time to distribute books. Then we would simplify the Sunday feast, so we could go out on Sundays and distribute books.
As soon as we become complacent thinking we are doing enough, we stop growing.
Doing more does not necessarily mean doing more physically. We can use our body, our mind, or our words. You can always speak to others more, like on the subway, and keep a book with you.
One hour after my lecture on being a giver in Ukraine, devotees bought 7,800 books, and 2,600 were maha big books.
We were the first to capitalize on advertising after communism in Russia, and we had Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita ad on all the buses and subways in Moscow.
At that time in Moscow, the most difficult thing about selling books was to keep the people waiting in lines before our book tables.
Srila Prabhupada to the Radha Damodara devotees in Atlanta, "Those who go out and distribute books in vans get my extra special mercy." We talked about it. That is what we were all eager for.

With more employers and insurance companies offering HMO plans to their employees and subscribers, more medical practices have turned to accepting HMOs or becoming part of HMO plans. Working in this nature can be something of a double-edged sword for you and your practice. On the positive side, you can increase the number of patients you see when you are part of a network, giving you the chance to grow your practice significantly. On the downside, you must deal with the HMO and insurance companies that can take a very long time to issue payments for services rendered. When working with an HMO puts you in a financial bind like this, it is good to know where you can turn for to help see you through. We're also hoping to hear more on the track a phone xperia t, z, and sl smartphones, and possibly even an announcement on a new google tv;
HMO Insurance Difficulties You Can Face

Utah Water Science Center
Utah PROJECTS
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Water Resources of Utah
Welcome to the USGS Web page for the Utah Water Science Center (WSC). Here you'll find information on Utah's rivers and streams, ground water, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
The USGS provides current ("real-time") stream stage and streamflow, water-quality, and ground-water level data for over 130 sites in Utah.
Active Groundwater Level Network
The Active Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 365 days. Use the map interface to select ground-water monitoring sites, view available site ground-water level data, and access summary statistics for site water-level data period of record.
USGS Utah Water Science Center Highlights
Great Basin Study � Groundwater resources in the Great Basin Carbonate and Alluvial Aquifer System (GBCAAS)
This study assesses groundwater resources in the complex Great Basin carbonate and alluvial aquifer system (GBCAAS), which includes about 110,000 square miles, predominantly in eastern Nevada and western Utah. The GBCAAS study area is experiencing rapid population growth and has some of the highest per capita water use in the nation, which has led to an increased dependence upon groundwater resources. Severe groundwater depletion has occurred in several basins within the study area. Refining the conceptual model of the GBCAAS is important in assessing groundwater availability. Refinements presented in this report include interpretation and synthesis of water budgets for all 165 basins in the study area, how those groundwater budgets have changed over time, construction of a detailed three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework delineated on the basis of geology and hydraulic properties, development of a potentiometric-surface map, and an evaluation of interbasin hydraulic connectivity and regional groundwater flow directions. The conceptual model report can be found at https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2010/5193/. A numerical model for the study area is currently under development.
Featured Studies
Modeling selenium inputs into Great Salt Lake
Great Salt Lake dye plume
The south shore area of Great Salt Lake (GSL) has been under increasing scrutiny by concerned citizens and State and Federal regulators, because of current and future selenium inputs to this part of the lake ecosystem. Recent investigations indicate that this part of GSL consistently receives discharge with elevated concentrations of selenium from natural and anthropogenic inflows. Water with elevated concentrations of selenium has been observed at surface seeps along the south shore of GSL and immediately offshore. In addition to the present inputs, a request to allow additional selenium discharge into the lake along the south shore area is in the final permitting phase. This project will examine how selenium concentrations may or may not persist in the south nearshore mixing zone as a function of varying lake conditions and on how the concurrent input of maximum daily selenium concentrations from new anthropogenic sources could influence the selenium concentration in the open-water areas of GSL within the south shore mixing zone.

Gemstones are commonly used in most forms of jewellery
Gemstones are an integral part of Indian jewellery and there can be no piece of jewellery made without using these shining and sparkling stones which come in all forms and colours. The most popular gemstones diamonds, topaz, rubies, emeralds are used in all forms of jewellery ranging from necklaces to rings, earrings and even bracelets. While buying gemstones, one need's to pay special attention as your buying decision and where you buy them from can be influenced by different factors such as its origin, effect on the individual wearing them and of course the price being quoted. It helps if you know the current diamond or ruby price in India before you go to buy a gemstone so that you are not overcharged for the same by the jeweller you are buying them from.
Gemstones are mostly valued for their exclusive characteristics and intrinsic properties as it is believed that wearing a particular gemstone will help better the health and prosperity of the individual wearing them. To ensure, you buy the gemstone perfect for you we suggest you pay attention to the following points;
Their Valuation
Every gemstone in the world is valued based on the 4 C's i.e. Cut, Clarity, Colour & Carat. The gemstones are graded and priced as per these characteristics to ensure a standardisation in process across the world. The best gemstones are pure in colour, have deep tones and saturation. The clarity of the gemstone too is very important, with the lesser the imperfections inside it the higher its value and price. A stone that is cut well will highlight its features and symmetry, and also help hide its imperfections. The size of a stone depends on its density, so while two stones may be of the same carat their size may differ. For example, the density of a diamond is lower than that of a ruby, so a 1 carat ruby will look smaller than a 1 carat diamond.
Their Origin and Availability
Stones that are rare or hard to mine are valued more than other gemstones. Their age and history too are a big factor, so make sure you ask the jeweller where the stones originate from and when they have been mined. If you are looking for exclusive stones, then be sure you ask the jeweller for the history and details of the earlier owners of the gemstone.
The Jewellery Setting
Jewellery with gemstones are not just used for normal and daily wear but also for special occasions like weddings, birthdays etc during which they are also gifted to others. You may need to use different gemstones, depending on the design and the sizing of the stones required, as not all stones would look good or fit properly into the jewellery design, so make sure you ask your jeweller for recommendations.
The most important factor when it comes to buying gemstones as it is not very easy to spot a fake gemstone from the real ones. You could easily buy a fake gemstone, without realising it is a fake as it would have a shine and colour similar to the original stones. If a jeweller prices a gemstone too low as compared to other stores, then it has to be a fake, since the prices of most of the gemstones are standard across the markets. If you have no previous experience in buying gemstones, then make sure you buy them from a reputed jeweller or one you trust. Nowadays you also get a certificate of authenticity along with the gemstone, which details its origins and source, so make sure you ask for one.
So the next time you wish to buy a gemstone, make sure you do your homework well before you go shopping and know what is the diamond or ruby price in India so that you can be sure you are buying a original gemstone and not a fake. The writer of this article recommends Charmes Jewellery as the place you can buy original gemstones at the right price.

Texas Tech's budding confidence should concern TCU coaches
September surprises make college football fascinating and unpredictable. They surface every season in all parts of the country.
In the Lone Star State, these fresh developments since the start of fall drills should alter preseason mindsets on a variety of topics:
▪ Swagger in Lubbock. Texas Tech (3-0) played big and coach Kliff Kingsbury talked even bigger following a 35-24 victory over Arkansas. The Red Raiders' defense, last among Big 12 teams in most statistical areas last season, held the Razorbacks to three points in the second half and continued its ball-hawking ways under first-year coordinator David Gibbs. Tech has collected eight turnovers in three games and ranks 10th nationally in turnovers gained (2.67 per contest) and turnover margin (plus-5), two areas of vast improvement from 2014 standards.
But the biggest indicator of elevated confidence occurred in Kingsbury's news conference, where he called out Arkansas coach Bret Bielema for remarks Bielema made about the importance of ground-and-pound football in an era marked by spread offenses at the majority of Texas' high schools and colleges.
"At the Texas high school coaches convention this summer, he said, 'If you don't play with a fullback, we'll kick your [butt]. If you throw it 70 times a game, we'll kick your [butt],' " said Kingsbury, who did not shake hands with Bielema after the contest. "He just got his [butt] kicked twice in a row, and probably next week by [Texas] A&M, as well. So, that did feel good."
Kingsbury, the son of a high school coach, said Bielema's comments "definitely rubbed me the wrong way." He also made it clear that the team's defensive improvements under Gibbs are not based on smoke and mirrors as Tech seeks to rebound from last year's 4-8 record.
"We got it done when we had to. They're getting better each week," Kingsbury said of his defenders. "We've got a long way to go. But, obviously, our confidence is up."
That improvement should concern coaches at No. 3 TCU (3-0), which opens Big 12 play Saturday in Lubbock (3:45 p.m., KDFW/Ch. 4). Tech's offense averages 54.3 points per game and the defense seeks to make amends for last year's 82-27 thrashing in Fort Worth.
▪ Defensive injuries in Fort Worth. The Tech matchup, from a TCU perspective, becomes dicier because seven of the Horned Frogs' would-be defensive starters were absent or injured during the second half of a 56-37 victory over SMU. That figure is on top of personnel losses to graduation or the NFL Draft that eliminated six starters from the team that led the Big 12 in total defense last season (341.8 yards per game).
▪ Pass rush in Aggieland. No. 14 Texas A&M leads the nation in sacks (15) and tackles for losses (36) after a swarming performance during a 44-27 victory over Nevada. The Aggies finished with 16 TFLs, most in any game under coach Kevin Sumlin. A&M (3-0) heads into Saturday's SEC opener against Arkansas (1-2) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (6 p.m., ESPN) with defensive end Myles Garrett, an Arlington Martin product, leading the nation in sacks (5.5) and defensive end Daeshon Hall ranked seventh (4.0).
Garrett, a sophomore, collected a career-high 3.5 sacks against Nevada less than a week after having his wisdom teeth removed. A&M has adapted quickly to the high-pressure scheme of new defensive coordinator John Chavis, who inherited a unit that ranked last among SEC teams in total defense the past two seasons. A three-peat of that dubious distinction seems unlikely for a unit that was fortified against Nevada by three first-time contributors coming off injury (DT Julien Obioha) or suspension (DT Zaycoven Henderson, LB A.J. Hilliard).
Hilliard, a transfer from TCU playing for the first time since breaking his ankle in last year's opener against South Carolina, finished with a team-high 8 tackles, 2 TFLs and a sack. After two years of struggles, the defensive arrow finally is pointing up in Aggieland.
▪ Offensive pulse in Austin. Texas changed its starting quarterback and its offensive play-caller after posting an FBS-low 163 total yards on opening weekend in a 38-3 loss to No. 6 Notre Dame. The Longhorns hit the 650 mark, including a school-record 527 from new QB Jerrod Heard, in a 45-44 loss to California that improved the outlook of coach Charlie Strong as the Longhorns (1-2) prepare to open league play Saturday against No. 24 Oklahoma State (3-0) in Austin (2:30 p.m., network TBD).
Although he expressed concerns about his defense, Strong praised the team's effort in rallying from a 21-point, fourth-quarter deficit and said: "I hope this is the one that turned the corner for us. It's a lot of mistakes but they can be corrected."
▪ Off-field drama in Waco. No. 5 Baylor (2-0) remains in the CFP mix but has made unflattering headlines on a weekly basis that have nothing to do with the Aug. 21 rape conviction of former player Sam Ukwuachu and an ongoing probe into the school's actions related to that case.
Baylor suspended two defensive starters for the SMU game (DE Shawn Oakman, S Orion Stewart), suspended two assistant coaches for the Lamar game (offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, receivers coach Tate Wallis) and announced the dismissal of tight end Tre'Von Armstead from the program Friday. All three players were disciplined for unspecified violations of team rules.
The two coaches were suspended for NCAA recruiting violations last spring related to the evaluations of prospective players. Baylor has started slowly against outmanned opponents in both of its games. If off-field distractions were an issue, the Bears cannot afford similar stumbles out of the gate once they begin facing Big 12 play opponents in October.

Key number
91,568Announced attendance for Texas-California game in DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium (capacity 100,119). The Longhorns have had 22,212 unsold seats through two games in Austin, following a crowd of 86,458 for last week's home opener against Rice.
Moving up
David Gibbs' stock: Texas Tech's new defensive coordinator has pushed the right buttons for the Red Raiders (3-0), particularly with his halftime adjustments. Tech has outscored opponents 41-3 in the third quarter this season and held Arkansas to only a second-half field goal in a 35-24 victory.
Moving down
Ohio State's aura of invincibility: The top-ranked Buckeyes (3-0) struggled on offense and needed a defensive TD to escape with a 20-13 victory over unranked Northern Illinois. The defending national champs, like most FBS schools, suddenly look vulnerable to the right opponent.
Key games this week
No. 3 TCU at Texas Tech: Horned Frogs' injury-riddled defense may be tested beyond the breaking point Saturday in Lubbock by the high-scoring Red Raiders (3-0).
No. 24 Oklahoma State at Texas: The Cowboys (3-0) harbor Big 12 title hopes and will be challenged Saturday by a Texas offense that has found its stride under QB Jerrod Heard.
No. 14 Texas A&M vs. Arkansas (Arlington): The Aggies (3-0) can further their march toward a top 10 ranking by taking down Arkansas (1-2) in Saturday's SEC opener for both teams.
Playoff projections
If the college football season ended today, here's a projected playoff bracket based on games played thus far (including playoff seeds):
Semifinal: Ohio State (No. 1) vs. Ole Miss (No. 4)
Semifinal: TCU (No. 2) vs. Michigan State (No. 3)

I sing songs about lived experiences
One year after her FK exchange, Assa Matusse is working on what she loves the most – music. "I am performing at concerts promoting my first album, which is now available on iTunes, Spotify and other platforms" Assa says.
Almost half of her record was recorded at Trøndertun Folkehøyskole during her exchange in 2016, with her Norwegian band.
"My skills grew insanely after my exchange at Trøndertun!" says Assa. In addition to developing her skills further, she has acquired several new and useful lessons on how to handle practical issues in her career.
Assa admits that even though the road hasn't always been straight forward, she is very happy to say that she has succeeded in living her dream. In August this year, Assa and her Norwegian band performed in Oslo, Norway. She is grateful for the network she got in Norway during her FK exchange and is happy to take lessons learned at Trøndertun, back to Mozambique. Assa's vibrant personality and musical expression has contributed a great deal to her Norwegian band members musical advancement too. By supplying different types of skills and traditions, they have increased their musical competence.
The societal effects of her exchange have been many. Assa says that she is sharing the experience from her exchange through performance. "I explain how different I feel after my exchange through writing about lived experiences in my songs".
The most prominent FK effect she had during her exchange was to discover how there is no right or wrong when it comes to culture – "I learned that my country's culture is not always the right one. There are always important inputs from other cultures that should be integrated in to our lives".
Therefore, Assa says that her best advice to upcoming FK participants is to have an open mind and to accept and respect differences in cultures. By doing so, she believes FK participants will have a more authentic understanding of their stay and enjoy the experience to the fullest.

On March 10, Commonwealth Financial said its 500 staff members, 1,400-plus advisors and their clients can do more philanthropically in their communities through the independent broker-dealer's new 501(c)3 charitable foundation, Commonwealth Cares.
And on April 1,Commonwealth Financial advisors can take advantage of new pricing and payouts associated with the independent broker-dealer's fee-based asset-management platform, known as Preferred Portfolio Services, or PPS. For advisors with more than $25 million in fee-based assets, equity and ETF ticket charges would drop to $7.95 from $16.
Payouts – which are linear — increase to 94% from 92% for those with assets above $50 million and up to $100 million, to 96% from 94% for FAs with assets from $200 million to $250 million, and to 98% from 95% for those advisors with more than $500 million in AUM.
AdvisorOne spoke with Commonwealth Financial CEO Wayne Bloom about these and other developments.
Q. What prompted the recent changes to ticket charges and payouts?
A. Making improvements in ticket charges and payouts to advisors has been our main thrust since 1996, and this is the eighth time we have made adjustments. It's important for us to do so for advisors and as part of the competitive environment.
In terms of the ticket charges, the financial advisors and their clients benefit from lower costs, which they always appreciate. These moves enhance the relationships between advisors and their clients, who may have wondered why their ticket charges were higher than some charges they see advertised elsewhere.
As for the payout changes, this is about us reinvesting our collective success. We reinvest profits in their business, and advisors can then advertise and improve their service model.
We have about 2,400 non-transaction-fee (or NTF) funds and also offer roughly 3,000 core funds with low transaction fees.
We are aggressively expanding our no-trading-fee program for our funds. Advisors do not want to deal with costs, and we don't blame them. We've had great success doing this, and our advisors are highly regarded.
Just to add a bit more about our increasing payouts, we want to do all we can to share the economies of scale with those who most help us achieve this – meaning up to 98% vs. lower rates at our rivals, who tier their payouts based on, say, the first $10 million or $50 million, which means that the average payout for an advisor is lower than their highest payout rate.
Q. The competition for good RIAs has become very intense. How is this affecting Commonwealth?
A. Everyone values the great fee-based, recurring revenue advisor. This is very powerful from a business perspective, whether you're an RIA custodian, a broker-dealer, an information-technology provider or another type of firm.
We have to be mindful and competitive with all of them, as the landscape is changing and changing fast.
Our value proposition is as an outsourcer of practice management, IT, communications, wealth management and other services. We have 504 employees for more than 1,400 advisors.
This is a great service model for our successful fee-based advisors. We are highly aggressive in our support, as well as in our payout enhancements.
Also, it's worth noting that the advantage for RIAs to do all the back-office work on their own is no longer there.
Q. What types of firms do you see as your greatest competitive threat?
A. We look at other quality broker-dealers and RIA custodians, who are getting very aggressive. Now, some of these firms reach out and even call me about certain advisors. Thus, the marketplace is becoming more transparent. That is good and raises the whole industry up.
The independent-advice model has been more than validated, and it's now up to the advisor to decide how to best be positioned within it. We try to accommodate them, no matter what they do.
Q. What is Commonwealth's view of developments affecting the fiduciary standard?
A. We are pretty well positioned, given the high percentage of fee-based business that our advisors do. Almost 60% of our revenues is derived from fees, and 70% of recurring-revenue income is derived from fees.
Fee-based FAs embraced the fiduciary standard a long time ago. That has been a good thing for investors and is also positive for the industry. Anytime you increase the confidence of investors, regardless of the intermediary they talk to, it's beneficial.
Am I concerned about the issue of products with commissions and their suitability being part of fiduciary responsibility? Of course, but we are monitoring and hopeful it will be palatable from a regulatory perspective for all involved. And we think the Financial Services Institute's lobbying on the matter is going really well.
Q. How do you see your recruiting efforts today?
A. In 2009, we had more than 100 net new advisors join us. In 2010, we were a bit below that year's level, like our peers. In 2011, we have gotten a bump out the gate. Our recruiters are excited, especially with our new payouts and other policies.
We expect to add 100 advisors in 2011. Keep in mind that no one joins another firm unless there is pain or discomfort at their existing firm, which there was so much of in 2008-2009.
We maintain lot of relationships with advisors, and if they choose to take peak, we have some great conversations.
We like to talk about our service score of 96.1, which we received from our advisors in 2010, out of 100. In 2010, we were also ranked highest in independent-advisor satisfaction among financial-investment firms by J.D. Power and Associates.
This helps us explain that we really walk the walk when it comes to technology and other services.
Q. What trends are you seeing in terms of investors and assets?
A. Our portfolios are well allocated, and we are seeing the percent of the portfolio invested in equities move up a little bit, with the recovery now being up about 95% from the bottom.
Fixed-income yields are so low that investors need to go into equities for better returns. Advisors have been looking at fixed income with raised eyebrows, and with concerns over inflation and raising rates, no one wants to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Q. What are your thoughts on consolidation in the broker-dealer field?
A. I'm surprised there has not been more of this, especially at the firm level. How can you afford to compete with the scale that's required today? As others have said, we should continue to see more of this happen.
Now, we are pretty selective about the advisors that join. In the past two months, we have been approached to buy a large firm. But we weren't interested, since this wasn't consistent with our model.
What good is it for us to add another couple hundred advisors, if half of them don't fit? These opportunities are not always easy to take advantage of. We don't' just grab more business. We focus on quality – which is not to say that we don't take every phone call. We do, because we have to see what may or may not make sense.
One group that did join us recently, for instance, was a group with more than $3 million in yearly production, or sales, and $300-plus million in assets.
Q. How did your recent Chairman's Retreat in Boston go?
A. We had our top 45 advisors and some of their clients. Richard Clark, a cyber-security expert spoke, and we had a session on optimizing happiness and satisfaction with some Harvard speakers, which was very interesting.
Q. Could you share why the firm launched the Commonwealth Cares Fund?
A. Our advisors and home-office have been giving back locally for years. This foundation allows us to do in more formal ways what we have been doing for some time. And it lets us extend our efforts through activities that are more meaningful to our advisors. .
Our advisors are always asking us what more they can do to support our philanthropic efforts, and this will facilitate such efforts. Efforts like our Giving Back initiatives and Chemo Caps for Kids have been so successful, and we hope they will become the mainstay of Commonwealth Cares.

Cross Connection Issues: How Your Woodbridge Plumber Can Help
Cross connections are a frequent plumbing problem throughout the country. However, they are not always easy to locate until they cause a problem.
A cross connection is essentially an actual or potential connection between the city's water supply and a source of contamination. It is a health and safety hazard because clean water (including drinking water supply) could effectively be contaminated with sewage.
The Danger of a Cross Connection
A cross connection relies on pressure from two different sources. When the pressure differential allows one source to enter another or back up into another source, contaminated fluids result. When this happens, you need to contact an emergency plumbing service to identify and correct the origin of the cross connection.
5 Facts About Cross Connections: When to Contact Your Woodbridge Plumber
The city provides safe, reliable drinking water. However, as a homeowner, you have an obligation to ensure your home is not the source of drinking water contamination. All it takes is a single source to backflow into the public water supply that will end up contaminating dozens of homes in the area.
Here are 5 essential facts to know about cross connections, and how an emergency plumber can help:
- You are Responsible as the Homeowner – Through the Cross-Connection Control Program and Backflow Prevention Program in the city of Toronto, all owners are responsible for ensuring their home is safe and free of cross connections. If your home is the source of contamination, you could be liable for the damage.
- You May Have an Outdoor Cross Connection – Common culprits outdoors for a cross connection include any outdoor hose bibbs and in-ground irrigation systems, such as your home's automatic sprinkler system.
- You Might Have a Cross Connection Indoors – Your home's toilet, laundry room sink, and handheld shower line could cross with drinking water supply lines.
- Incorrectly Installed Items are Often the Cause – Most of the time, the reason for a cross connection is an incorrectly installed plumbing system by enthusiastic DIY homeowners. For example, an improperly installed boiler could lead to a cross connection. Other times, the drain for your home's hot tub may be connected to the water supply line, or you might have installed your indoor water softener without backflow prevention in place.
- A Woodbridge Plumber Can Inspect Your Home – To ensure you do not have a cross connection, have a plumber come to your home and inspect for any backflow risks. If purchasing a new home, hire a plumber to make sure there are no existing cross connections.
Suspect a Cross Connection? Call Emergency Plumbing Services Now!
If you suspect your home is a cross connection risk, or you are encountering a cross connection contamination, contact the emergency plumbers at Aaron & Son Plumbing and Drain Services. We have certified plumbers who can come to your home, inspect for backflow threats, and correct them before they become a serious issue. If you have an existing cross-connection that is causing contamination, we can also correct it and ensure the rest of your home meets all backflow prevention regulations.
Call Aaron & Son Plumbing and Drain Services at a location near you. You can also get in touch with us at 905-731-3111 in York Region, 905-717-2277 in Aurora-Newmarket, and 416-409-5511 in Toronto.

Thom's next advanced technique sessions: is in LA on Sunday, October 27th.
Los Angeles
Date: Sunday, October 27th
Time: 5:30-7pm
Location: Private Residence (3446 Wade Street, Los Angeles, CA 90066)
To Sign up for an Advanced Technique, please click here.
For anyone who has practiced an existing technique consistently for at least 12 months, it is recommended that they obtain an Advanced Technique. In Vedic Meditation, an Advanced Technique is designed to take one's awareness to that stratum, that layer of consciousness, that comprises the interface between thinking and pure silent consciousness. In short, it allows the meditator to integrate that elusive, deeply charming state that we slip into in our deepest meditations, into every moment of our awakened state. A good example of how and Advanced Technique supports us in our evolution is a car shifting from a low gear to a higher gear to gain speed. We can get where we need to go in first gear, but it will take much longer than if we shifted to a higher gear.
An Advanced Technique may involve a student learning a variation or elongation of their existing mantra, or it may involve learning an advanced method of using the mantra they have already received. The Advanced Technique is customized by Thom for each meditator based on their needs and state of Consciousness.
These techniques are given any time that An Introduction to Meditation is taught. To obtain an Advanced Technique, a meditator will attend the first day of Introduction to Mediation class, and will bring the traditional offerings for a new initiation ceremony. The student will sit in with the class on the first day after receiving the new mantra, and must return to at least one more class that week so that Thom can check the usage of the mantra and provide the advanced student further coaching
Upon request, Thom may also be able to give Advanced Techniques at a retreat, or at any class where Thom is present with the meditator, so long as the meditator will have time to visit with Thom on two separate occasions – first to receive their advanced mantra, and a second time for Thom to check their mantra and offer further coaching.
In order to receive an Advanced Technique, a meditator must have been trained in Vedic Meditation and practicing consistently for at least one year. A meditator who has already received an Advanced Technique and would like to receive another should have been meditating consistently with their last advanced mantra for at least a year.
Course Fee
Course fees for Advanced Techniques are $800 for a group initiation and $1,500 for a private initiation.
Advance Techniques are offered whenever An Introduction to Meditation is taught. An Introduction to Meditation is offered at various times throughout the year.

GREENFIELD – Charles A. Loven will be taking care of veterans from the new, larger Veterans Resource and Referral Center's Main Street storefront, officially dedicated Monday with the help of U.S. Sen. Scott P. Brown. Brown said men and women who have served the country in the military should be honored "not only with soldiers' hospitals" that are dramatically affected by budget cuts. "Attaboy, Greenfield. You did a wonderful job," he said of the new facility. The appearance of Brown, newly elected to replace the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in January, helped draw a capacity crowd estimated at 100 people. The move from the cramped 400-square-foot office space in the Town Hall Annex on Main Street was made possible by a $7,500 grant from Vietnam Veterans of Massachusetts Inc. The grant will cover one year of rent and utilities at the new 114 Main St. site. "I love this place," Loven, Greenfield's veterans service officer and veterans director, said of the office space he is sharing with three town planning department employees. He estimated the new quarters is about 10 times the size of his old space. The new office will be more accessible and visible, he said.
More details coming in The Republican.

For a while the only NLE to support 120fps was Magix/Sony Vegas. However, unless I misread the details, it seems Blackmagic Design's newest version of its Davinci Resolve NLE will also support real-time 120fps projects.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/produc ... nciresolve
After having downloaded Resolve 14 Studio, I can confirm it supports the following frame rates:
23.98, 24.00, 25.00, 29.97, 30.00, 47.96, 48.00, 50.00, 59.94, 60.00, 72.00, 96.00, 100.00, 119.88, and 120.00.
NOTE: This is the studio/$300 version, the free version only goes up to 60.00. Also I still have to use ffmpeg to speed up the video from some cameras.

After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.

Awesome! What He-Man is directly in front of the large one? Looks like a slightly larger version of the 2002 one.
What the small little He-man on the left?
Classic! Seeing all those brings a rush of memories!
I will try to post some better comparison pictures tonight so you can see them a little clearer.

Many of my listeners have heard me discuss my family and I have mentioned my son. When I was pregnant with him, I was sick a lot and now I wonder if that was because he was feeling unsettled, even in utero. The moment he was born he needed me intensely, much more than my daughter. He always wanted to be in my arms and would cry and cry when not with me. In the first few years of his life he continued to be very attached to me and I noticed the difference with his behaviour and sensitivity in comparison to my daughter, but just assumed that this was just a usual variation in personalities. I heard many around me tell me I should "give him more space or let him cry", but it didn't feel right. If he wanted me why would I reject him? But was my attention to his needs creating this problem? I questioned myself all of the time.
As time went on he had a lot of difficulty being independent. Daycare drop off's were hard, even at 4 and 5 years old. He even went through a few periods when he refused to eat all day while at daycare. I had no idea what was happening and was torn between frustration, anger and compassion. It wasn't until he was about 4 years old that it hit me. He had anxiety. From that point forward I looked at his behaviour and moods much differently and have tried to adjust my parenting to meet his needs. Trust me. I'm not perfect and I'm still left confused and defeated at times when he is struggling and I don't seem to have the answers. This week's guest on Caregivers' Circle, Ann Douglas, author of Parenting Through the Storm is here to talk about raising a child with a mental health challenge. Listen here.

Photographer Klaus Rossler's career has gone through many changes in life before entering the world of photography: formal training in graphic design, cabinetry and professional furniture and antiques restoration in Germany, extensive travel in Europe and Asia, study of jazz guitar at university level, performing and recording in North America and Europe.
Yet, his outlook on life changed again after moving to Canada, discovering the grandeur of northern landscapes and subjects in his photography. Living in Northern Ontario and many remote canoe trips had a profound and lasting influence on his work.
He sees photography as a creative process much like painting or sculpture, rather than the recording of reality – emphasizing interpretation and expression – fascination with linear structure and texture – seeing line and shape in a highly graphic way. As a result the viewer is involved through seeing instead of looking, responding emotionally. Rather than using photography as a vehicle to convey sociopolitical messages, he points the viewer towards the challenge and recognition of pure design – where line, shape, texture is the message. It is of importance to him to make a clear distinction between the natural design observed and the personal design created, trying to convince us to abandon the notion of reality or truth, so often associated with photography. Rossler's scrutiny becomes the viewer's care and makes one reflect on the pure power of the visual experience.
His B&W-Duotones of dramatic landscapes, as well as series of non-representational images found recognition throughout the region and with collectors across Canada and the US. Recent series include experimental work, involving multi exposure- off register- and selective focusing techniques, resulting in what he calls Photo-Impressionism. His latest exhibition "View From The Edge" explores juxtapositions of outgoing, expanding vistas and the close and intimate, as well as reflections, representing a visual transformation from solid to liquid matter.
Besides observation and capture, Rossler prefers to control all aspects of processing his work, including editing and darkroom techniques, printing, matting and framing in archival quality.
• Images published in Photo-Life Magazine, several outdoor/canoeing magazines and tourism promotions / websites and have been used for various corporate and commercial applications in North America and Europe.
• Other commercial work includes assignments, reproduction of artwork, as well as 10 years of experience and clientele in photo-restoration.
• Photography of exhibitions and artwork for documentation and publication at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery since 2006.
• Work has been chosen by the Canadian Museum Of Nature / Ottawa for being part in 'The Water Project', a ten year national touring exhibition.
• Collectors in Canada, the US and Europe, private and interior designers
• Publication in Canadian Geographic's special edition book "National Parks 2011"
• Artist in Residence at Pukaskwa National Park 2011, 2012, 2013. Work with Parks Canada on promotional projects.
• The City of Thunder Bay / Ontario presented his prints to the recipients of the Thunder Bay Arts & Heritage Awards in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
• Publication in upcoming book by the Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC, 2013
• Member and contributing artist with Artisans North West, Thunder Bay / Ontario.
• Recipient of Ontario Arts Council Project Grants, 2008 and 2014
• Photography Workshops with Parks Canada, the Thunder Bay Art Gallery and locally.

The influence of the land continues to play a significant role in Rossler's work, closing the circle from an outgoing, expanding view into the grand vista, back to the micro cosmos of collages of rock and lichen, colors and textures, creating his distinctive point of view.
