Your assumption is that Holland never dreamed of any of these scenarios that you think could have happened. In fact, it is highly unlikely that Ken Holland didn't try to make some trades and signings. Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean he didn't try. At least he didn't make some stupid move just to show he did something.
Like I've said before, he can read the chart. One year deals and in a year a whole bunch of cap space comes open and in two a whole bunch more. That IS the better way.
Fans will hate it, but it is better just to clear out the crap without giving up assets.
And there's a lot of time between now and training camp. I very much doubt that we've seen all that there is to see. But nothing major will happen.

Massive losers are the real winners
In the game where pounds count for goals, everyone wants to lose
Normally, if we announced we'd helped a football organisation lose more than 100,000 pounds then there would be justifiable uproar.
Not this time, though, as MAN v FAT – the weight loss motivation specialists for men – has recently tipped the scales at 100,000lbs lost in the 29 months since the project's launch.
The rapidly expanding – or contracting, depending on which way you look at it – league began with just 80 places in Solihull.
But MAN v FAT now has more than 8,000 players in more than 60 leagues across the country.
95% Lose weight with MAN v FAT
In September 2017 we awarded the organisation £195,000 of National Lottery funding for 20 leagues, with recent new locations including Rochdale, Coventry and Bradford.
They have a remarkable hit rate of 95% of players losing weight, but despite the recent landmark loss, managing director Andrew Shanahan is not getting complacent.
"It's an incredible achievement that these players have made in losing 100,000lbs," he told the MAN v FAT website.
"It's a time of celebration, but it's also a point to reflect and to acknowledge the mistakes that we've made as we've grown.
"It's a time to employ all of the lessons that we've learned to make MAN v FAT Football and MAN v FAT better as a result."
The award made last September works on two fronts for us. The league helps to tackle inactivity, and our funding enables some leagues to be available for free – allowing those with an economic disadvantage to still access the project.
The prospect of playing football against younger, fitter and slimmer men is daunting and unappealing
Mike Diaper, Sport England executive director
The 20 leagues funded by our award will see more than 1,200 men sign up, with the target being for 768 of them to lose at least 5% of their body weight and to get active in the process.
"It's been fantastic to see MAN v FAT welcomed in communities where it has the potential to make massive a difference," said our executive director for tackling inactivity, Mike Diaper.
"These fresh ideas are vital because while many people aspire to be more active, they can feel that the opportunities available aren't right for them or the barriers to taking part are just too high. Something new needs to happen.
"It's a particular problem for men who are overweight. Much as they'd like to get back into the team sport they once loved, they feel they've literally outgrown them.
"The prospect of playing football against younger, fitter and slimmer men is daunting and unappealing.
100,000 lbs lost
"As are many of the weight loss programmes, which have traditionally been designed and marketed to meet the needs of women.
"That is why we thought MAN v FAT was such a wonderful concept."
MAN v FAT marked the occasion of losing the 100,000th pound by producing an e-book with case studies from some of their star pupils.
One of whom is Glasgow's Craig Rankin, who has lost a whopping 44.5kg – that's seven stone – by getting active with MAN v FAT.
And he could not underestimate the impact his weight loss has had on his life.
"It's been massive," he admitted. "I've got a new job in my work with my new-found confidence. I don't feel embarrassed to walk down the street with just a t-shirt on.
"I feel so much fitter, even recently ran 5km (not quickly, but I did it) and that's something I could never have even have dreamed of doing just seven months ago.
"I've still got a long way to go but all of a sudden it doesn't seem like that far. I can't wait to see what the next few months have in store now."

The Qduino Mini and the Open Source Oceanographic Community
Dr. Andrew David Thaler is a deep-sea ecologist and population geneticist currently at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. He incorporated the Qduino Mini in his Open CTD project (Conductivity, temperature, and depth), an affordable, open-source robot that can replace a very expensive piece of equipment commonly used in oceanographic research. This is exactly what the Qduino Mini is meant for - open source projects! So happy it is used in this very cool invention!
Here are some photos from his Github repository detailing the project with some great pics of the Qduino Mini:
Ian Black is a graduate student at Oregon State University also using open source tech in his oceanographic research for the Ocean Observatories Initiative. He developed his own CTDizzleMk1 utilizing the Qduino Mini in November 2016, and now is testing the CTDizzleMk2.

Small/Mid-Cap Value
"We needed to sell companies when they reached a market cap of 3 and 5 billion because they no longer fit into our Small/Micro Cap mandate. In many instances we believed these great companies were still trading at attractive valuations. We can now incorporate them into a similar strategy." – Marc Dion CFA
Our Small/Mid Cap Value strategy is an extension of our Small/Micro Cap Value portfolio. We select small cap companies from the current holdings of our Small/Micro Cap Value portfolio, and couple those with mid cap companies chosen using the same philosophical approach as the Small/Micro Cap Value portfolio. We place a special emphasis on capturing those mid cap names that grew out of our Small/Micro Cap Value strategy.
This strategy applies a successful investment approach to an expanded universe of stocks. It also allows us to leverage our sometimes decades long institutional knowledge of individual companies that are now too large to be owned in the Small/Micro Cap Value strategy but are still attractive investments.
- Fortress balance sheets & capital solvency
- Solid free cash flow
- Significant insider ownership
- Strong business models
- Attractive valuation

I took a week and a half off from posting due to the fact that my husband and I bought our first house a couple of weeks back, and we finally moved in last weekend. Yesterday was the first time I was able to get out of the house with my camera in weeks, and even then, it was a rushed journey. The rain was due to arrive around 1pm, and it did, just as we loaded back into the car. I am glad I was able to get out and capture some of the autumn sights, including this macro of a frayed mushroom amongst the fallen leaves.

Big plans for B-school faculty- All at 25: Conducting satellite classes to introducing a course at XLRI
Jamshedpur, April 4: Anybody who sees her working on her laptop on the XLRI campus would mistake her to be a student, but 25-year-old Sheetal Bharat is fast getting used to delivering lectures rather than attending them.
Sheetal, who completed her graduation from Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Delhi, and did an MA in development economics from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, is today the youngest faculty member at XLRI.
"The rest of the faculty is much senior with PhDs. I am the youngest of the lot, yet to get a doctorate and, hence, a lecturer, not a professor," says Sheetal, looking comfortable in her sprawling cabin at the faculty wing of the B-school.
Anybody would be curious to know how Sheetal managed to get a plum offer so early in her career. "It was last year that I started assisting Veena Paliwar, a senior economics professor here. Not only did I help preparing teaching modules but also attended her classes along with the other students. It was when she left that I was asked to replace her," says Sheetal.
An alumni of Sacred Heart Convent and Loyola School, Sheetal considers her classes with Paliwar a learning experience. "During those days I had to teach a few students the basics of maths and economics. Gradually the word spread around when they did relatively well in their exams and one fine day I was asked to join as faculty," recalls Sheetal.
Within her short span at the B-school Sheetal has conducted classes via satellite for two batches of XLRI students spread across the 56 centres in India. She also visited Dubai in November last year to conduct a two-month management course for working executives.
While taking satellite classes for the first time, Sheetal sure was a bit shaky, but found her ground soon. "The initial days of satellite classes were a little awkward because I had to speak to the camera. But gradually I got used to it," says Sheetal.
What adds yet another feather to Sheetal's cap is an elective course on development economics she has designed and introduced in the B-school.
"The entire structure and syllabus of this course has been made by me. I am already through with my first batch and would start my next session in June," says Sheetal confidently.
Though at a young age, all the glories have not come easy. Daughter of leading city medicos R. Bharat and Vijaya Bharat, Sheetal has worked with many international agencies before returning to Jamshedpur last year. "I have worked with the Centre for Communication, Investment and Regulation (CCIER), Consumer Literary and Trust Society, International (CUTS) at Jaipur and Equitable Tourism Options (Equations) in Bangalore.
Sheetal has also organised an international seminar on the behalf of CUTS in Hanoi, Vietnam. "At present, I am also working on a research project with Jusco on water provision and pricing in Jamshedpur and have concluded another survey on 13 polytechnic colleges in Jharkhand for a state government project," said Sheetal.
But is she a strict teacher? No, she smiles. "I am a friend to my students, most of whom are much senior to me. But when in class I try to maintain discipline," she says. With so many experiences in her kitty, Sheetal will soon head to the US to pursue her PhD in California. "I have one more batch to finish before I leave for the States," she signs off.

The Indian cricket board on Sunday decided to recommend to the Supreme Court a three-man panel to probe a spot-fixing scandal that hit the Indian Premier League, an official said.
The Supreme Court had last week asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to provide details of how it planned to conduct a fresh probe into the scandal, or face investigation by a court-appointed tribunal.
BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel declined to reveal the names in the proposed panel, saying they will be handed to the court at the next hearing on Tuesday.
But the Press Trust of India and TV channels said the panel will comprise former captain and commentator Ravi Shastri, Jai Narain Patel, an ex- chief justice of the Kolkata Hight Court, and R.K. Raghavan, who earlier headed the federal Central Bureau of Investigation.
Lawyers for the BCCI will put forward the three names on Tuesday, hoping the court will accept the proposal to prevent an outside agency from interfering in the case.
The apex court had last week rejected N. Srinivasan's plea to reinstate him as BCCI chief, saying he had effectively turned a blind eye to allegations of wrongdoing in the IPL.
The court said Srinivasan — who is due to take over as chairman of the International Cricket Council in July — was among 13 people listed in a damning report by a previous court-appointed panel.
The court did not disclose the other names, saying allegations against the 13 were unsubstantiated and needed to be probed further.
The court last month ordered Srinivasan to stand aside, installing batting Indian great Sunil Gavaskar as interim BCCI head, charged with overseeing the ongoing IPL Twenty20 tournament.
The court said Srinivasan's presence as BCCI head would prevent a fair investigation into the allegations.
The panel's report, sections of which were released in February, concluded that Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan — who was the team principal of the Chennai Super Kings — could be guilty of illegal betting on IPL games.

We've started 2017 with a bang. As I previously posted, my husband had his aortic valve replacement surgery, and I am happy to report he is at home recovering. He's doing very well. We are in the thick of my son's final swim season. He is a senior this year and it's the last year of varsity swim. The schedule is fairly busy at this time of year for us.
I have had a little time in the past few days to do some planning for our growing season 2017. For our family, a happy medium is in order. We have decided when our planting matures and are ready for harvest, we will open our farm for select U-pick weekends in season rather than being open to the public full-time. Our products will be available onsite at these events. We also plan to be more involved in local Farmer's markets/craft shows and we will continue to sell online through our Etsy store and ecommerce on this website.
Garden Design: I am having a lot fun and getting the creative juices flowing planning the design of our new farm/gardens. We are looking into erecting a small greenhouse and also planning our plots of lavender and a herb garden. Plan for a lavender labyrinth and butterfly garden are also in the mix.
We will be doing some mass planting this spring so I will be ordering plants soon. We plan to get some locally and some online. We are really excited about all the changes coming! Please continue to follow our progress.
I have started creating bouquets of lavender and lavender and other dried wildflowers, herbs, and ornamental grasses. I used a larkspur, wheat, oregano, yarrow, cedar and berries (see our Etsy store for bouquet offerings). I've found the bouquets are one of my favorites to make. I enjoy working with the flowers and creating beautiful bouquets that can be used for weddings but also for home decor. I do see floral design being more prevalent in our product offerings including more wreaths.

Lavender plants are really amazing and I can say that these plants are very preetty and I am amazed by the things that are written here. A post that will surely be shared to my friends and they will surely love this post as well. Thank you for this reading

Bring Fun to the Table with Our Colorful Easter Peeps Cupcakes
Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner? It seems as though we were just celebrating Christmas and here we are in spring already. This year has been flying by so far for our family! Before we know it summer will be here and it will almost be too hot here in Arkansas for baking. (keyword: almost lol)
I've had quite a few ideas for Easter cupcake recipes bouncing around in my head for the past few weeks. However, these Peeps bunny Easter cupcakes have been at the top of the list for a while now.
Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. For more on our use of affiliate links and our privacy policy please visit our disclaimer page.
Now, I know there are some out there who don't like Peeps. Quite frankly though, nobody needs that kind of negativity in their life. I love Peeps and will take any excuse to add them to a recipe (or eat a few…or five)
Related: Simple and Fun Salt Dough Easter Craft for Kids
Unlike some of my other cupcake recipes like the Strawberry Patch Cupcakes, I'm not even going to pretend that these Easter cupcakes are anywhere near healthy. Once you add the peeps, chocolate eggs, and everything else there is just no getting around the fact that they are kind of a sugar overload. It's ok once a year or so though, right?
I did use a greek yogurt in the batter to add a little bit of healthy-ness into it. If you would like you can use Turbinado sugar in this recipe as well. However, it can change the shade of white cake slightly.
The icing used on these cupcakes is made from a butter and shortening blend as in many of my other cupcake recipes. I have been working on a few different versions of this buttercream recipe but think I have finally come up with the perfect blend. You can use full butter if you don't like or don't have shortening available. If you do use a shortening I highly recommend using an all-vegetable shortening. Others can give you icing a slightly off flavor.
When it comes to the vanilla I was recommending the use of pure vanilla extract. In most recipes, I still highly recommend using pure vanilla extract when possible. However, for icing, I have found Wilton's Clear Vanilla Extract.

Easter Peeps Cupcake Recipe
- 1/2 C butter, unsalted (softened)
- 3/4 C white sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 C greek yogurt, plain
- 1/4 C milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 C organic flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 C butter, unsalted (softened)
- 1/3 C shortening
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 C powdered sugar
- Combine butter and sugar in stand mixer until light and fluffy. Pour egg whites into butter mixture and add vanilla & milk. Fold greek yogurt into mixture with a spatula.
- In separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour dry ingredients slowly into butter mixture and blend until just combined.
- Fill cupcake holders 3/4 full using a scoop to measure each portion for even sizing.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes. Using a toothpick check the center of cupcake to determine if done. The toothpick will come out clean if done. (Oven times can vary so be sure to keep an eye on them)
- Let cupcakes cool completely before icing.
- Combine butter and shortening in stand mixer. Blend until smooth consistency. Add in vanilla flavoring and blend again to mix evenly throughout.
- Using 1/2 - 1 C at a time begin adding powdered sugar to butter mixture. Blend on high until smooth consistency is reached.
- Top with candy of choice
For a thinner icing 1-2 T milk can be added to mixture. A Wilton Star tip was used for creating the "grass effect" in the icing. Wilton icing coloring gel was used for the green shade of the icing.
This Easter cupcake is decorated with a Wilton Decorating Star Tip to make the pattern of the grass using the icing. For the coloring, I used Wilton Icing Coloring in green. For a darker shade of green simply add more of the coloring. Use a little less if you prefer a lighter shade of green.
There are a ton of different ways that you could go about arranging the candies on the top of the cupcake. If I make them again I will most likely use the Robin Eggs in the small milk carton container as they are slightly smaller in size. However, the big ones work just as well. Cadbury Mini Eggs or even the Reese's Pieces Eggs would work great too! If you try either of them let me know how they turned out. I might need to try another batch to test them. (Hey, any excuse to make more cupcakes!)
Happy Baking!

Purpose of Research
Students at Dalian JiaoTong University created a model of Dalian Railway Station to forecast the maximum passenger capacity. The data doesn't consider railway station idle people and seeing-off people. This model reveals passenger arrival pattern and maximum passing capacity, which are helpful in the re-design of Dalian Railway Station.
The students are also creating models to simulate the ticketing system and passenger evacuation at railway passenger station.
Students are actively participating in this project and they find Simio is really a quick solution.
As Professor Li Jitao puts it: "Simio is so easy to learn yet so powerful to solve real world problems with its expressive power of 3D and flexible process capability. My students enjoy Simio. It's really a nice experience in how to create a modern simulation interface -- lots of fun."
About Dalian Jiaotong UniversityDalian Jiaotong University is located at the charming costal city of Dalian. The school was founded in 1956. It is a famous university in China, known for its traffic and transportation research with high reputation for its rigorous management and its serious academic pursuits. Dalian Jiaotong University is among the first universities to use Simio for simulation teaching and research in Mainland China.

Proletarians, lets refuse to submit to the anti-terrorist campaign of the state!
The capitalist terrorism against the humanity speeds up everywhere in the world. The raising of foodstuffs price, the massive layoffs and the cut in social allowances, following the current capitalist crisis, throw hundreds of millions of proletarians out into the street and deprive them of the most elementary means of survival.
Anti-terrorism is states terrorism!
To stand up for themselves against the exponential worsening of survival conditions, proletarians take to the street and confront the state in dozens of countries all over the world, and right now in Greece, Italy, and Spain...
First and foremost its deprivation of our means of life by capital that is terrorist!
The states, their laws and their police harshly suppress any proletarian action (picket line, traffic blockade, sabotage, demonstration, etc.) that hinders sacrosanct free movement of labour, right to work, to sell, and to buy.... Struggling proletarians are systematically accused by the state to take innocent victims hostage (i.e. citizens who submit to the bourgeois law and order), to intimidate them, and to terrorize them.
It is actually the bourgeoisie that feels terrorized by the fact that merchant property and freedom are being called into question, and this is the reason why it tends to broaden its definition of terrorism to any action that breaks with the democratic order. It means thus at the same time:
Hiding the fundamentally terrorist nature of its domination while exclusively putting terrorism into the same category as the proletariats violent reactions, while deliberately confusing those reactions that stand in a class perspective and those that various containments lead astray towards aclassist, reformist, religious, national liberation purposes; Consolidating its legal, juridical and ideological arsenal of repression against any protest movement targeting the merchant order; Imposing among the exploited the ideological division between innocents and culprits, between honest citizens and terrorist barbarians; Finally isolating proletarians who break with Social Democrat pacifism and pushing their class brothers and sisters to denounce and dissociate.
It is essential to affirm against these bourgeois manoeuvres that:
First and foremost what is terrorist its the very bases of the democratic system of property and liberty, the legal rules protecting this latter! Any compromise to the anti-terrorist campaign of the state directly means collaborating to the repression of any protest against capitals daily terrorism against the humanity! The proletarians repressed in the name of anti-terrorism are our fellow proletarians!
Solidarity means to struggle anywhere against the state!
Comrades, this leaflet is an expression of our struggling class, copy it, and spread it!

The Wisconsin Oneida Language Preservation Project presents original stories and curriculum, with accompanying audio, that teaches the Wisconsin Oneida language. Materials presented here include Curriculum (see below), Songs, and Stories in both English and written Oneida language. Audio files accompany these texts and provide additional instruction, allowing language learners to read and simultaneously listen to native Oneida speakers present the same material.
Project Summary
By UNESCO standards the language of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin is critically endangered, which means there is a real and present danger that the language will be irretrievably lost in the foreseeable future. At this point there remain only three native speakers of the Wisconsin dialect of Oneida. All of these elders are over 90 years old.
This project proposes to provide video and audio documentation of Oneida conversational styles, something under documented in previous studies and to create a database for scholars and community members. The database and archive will include not only the documentation collected in this project, but also previous documentation that is threatened because of inadequate archiving. A collaborative approach will be used which combines notable linguistic expertise, institutional support, business and personnel management expertise, database expertise, along with native speaker and apprentice training. The goals of this project are thus twofold: to conduct field work to document conversational Oneida styles with the last three speakers who learned Oneida as their first language and are able to assist in this project; and to research and construct a database on which to preserve and archive the information from current, previous, and any future documentation efforts.
The original materials were collected by fluent Oneida people interviewing fluent speaking Oneida people during the Works Progress Administration (1939-1940). From the WPA project a written alphabet was created and all materials were written in Oneida. During the 1970's with a grant from the Title VII Bilingual Act, the K-6 curriculum was developed, and the WPA documents were converted to a new alphabet and recorded.
The Oneida language speakers who recorded the K-6 curriculum included on this site are: Amos Christjohn and Dick Christjohn. The female voice is Maria Hinton. Those sections that were missing the original recordings were recorded in 2009 by Randy Cornelius, the Oneida Language Archivist. The songs from the Kindergarten curriculum were recorded by Dellora Cornelius and Mercie Doxtater.
The WPA stories were recorded in the 1970's by Maria Hinton, Hudson Doxtater, Mary Danforth, Amos Christjohn and Oscar Archiquette
If we have forgotten anyone it is not intentional and we continue to appreciate and utilize the hard work of our ancestors.

The Mike Brown tragedy has brought to surface a number of systemic failures that contribute to the oppression of Black Americans. From political disenfranchisement which allows a city two-thirds black to be represented by a city council that's 80 percent white to the militaristic police-state response used to control and limit the agency of black people (also, everyone), systemic racism and prejudice pervade every aspect of American life.
Particularly fascinating is our collective and pervasive fetish with portraying black victims as menacing. In the case of Mike Brown, the image most widely shared has him standing stoically on a porch, the camera angle such that Brown — already 6'4″ — looms even larger over the viewer. He's wearing a red Nike tank that reveals beefy muscular arms — one of which is raised chest level with his hand contorted into a peace (gang?) sign. He is not smiling. Brown looks much older than his eighteen years.
Needless to say, one look at this image and a lot of folks think they know exactly what happened between Mike Brown and the police officer that shot him dead. A picture is worth a thousand words and the story some get from this one is that Mike Brown had it coming.
Mike Brown isn't the only victim who has been portrayed widely as hostile. Indeed when Trayvon Martin was gunned down by George Zimmerman, an email chain emerged which transformed the 17 year old Martin into a 32 year old man complete with muscular physique, facial hair and tattoos on his face, neck and arms. Of course this wasn't Martin, but that's not the point. The point is that how we feel about racial justice and inequity in this country is determined by how blacks are talked about and portrayed in public discourse. And now, as always, we have portrayed them as nothing short of predators.
But in today's world where citizens can respond to and shape a story just as much as journalists and editors, people struck back with a brilliant hashtag; #iftheygunnedmedown.
People started posting side by side images of themselves. The first photo was designed to mislead, typically showcasing the individual in a way that allowed for other people's fears and stereotypes to take hold. The second photo often aimed to shatter those stereotypes with many of the subjects draped in graduation gowns or with family members or in uniforms of service. They challenged preconceived notions and forced you to see them as three dimensional human beings and not just the stock menace.
After wading through a number of these images, I've decided to add my own submission.
That's me. Nearly 8 years ago, roughly the same age as Brown. It's a photo from my freshman year of college.
I'm sure, that if you didn't know me, this photo would speak volumes. #iftheygunnedmedown and this was the photo the media decided to share, I could imagine someone turning to a buddy and saying, "He looks like a thug." (Note, Cara feels that I'm totally overplaying this photo "It's not thaaaaaaat menacing." Fair enough.)
But if you did know me, this photo says absolutely nothing. It tells you nothing about my obsession with karaoke, or about how much I love baking. You'd never know that I spend my weekends digging through heaps of thrift store clothes searching for wacky shirts and skinny jeans. You'd never know I started and manage a blog that deals with issues of racism and sexism. You'd never know.
I have no idea of what kind of person Michael Brown was, but I do know that his existence consisted of 360 degrees. He had hobbies and things that made him laugh. There were things that kept him up at night and insecurities that sapped his confidence from time to time. He had frustrations and dreams for himself and his future. I'm sure he made mistakes and hurt people from time to time. I know these things about him, because I know he was a human being.
Because he was a human being, his death — and the way we've handled his death — is a tragedy. The fact that he was shot while unarmed by a member of the police, who are supposed to protect and serve us, yes all of us, even black men, is a tragedy. And it's for all of these reasons that his friends, family and his community have taken to the streets to mourn and protest. And #iftheygunnedmedown I'd hope for the same.
Oh, and fyi the picture below is the one I'd hope they'd use should the unspeakable ever happen. It was a damn good caramel apple

by Fred A. Baughman, Jr., MD** & Amy Philo*
SAN DIEGO, May 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch reported that on Mother's Day, May 10, 1998, Sharon Alley stabbed her eight month old daughter, Brooke in the heart, killing her. Months before, Alley was prescribed Paxil, became psychotic, and threw then five-week-old Brooke to the floor, fracturing her skull.
Postpartum Support International (PSI) founder Jane Honikman told The Times-Dispatch that Americans don't understand post-partum depression (PPD) and that this "mental illness" is the reason mothers like Sharon Alley kill their children.
In 2007 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 20, "The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act," which mandates mental health screening for all new mothers and referral to a mental health provider for "essential services" for any mother "at risk" of PPD. The bill mandates use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), shown to triple the number of women "diagnosed." Swedish researchers recently urged: "Public health authorities should not advocate screening of unproved value." (Krantz, et al, 2008)
S. 1375 / H.R. 20 "The MOTHERS Act" is named for Melanie Stokes, who committed suicide when 3 1/2 months postpartum, following "treatment" with electroshock therapy and myriad drugs, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and antipsychotics. Melanie jumped from a 12-story hotel window in Chicago after her fourth psychiatric hospitalization. PSI claims Melanie's treatments for PPD were too little, too late.
The fundamental fact of the matter is that not a single psychiatric "diagnosis" or "disorder" is an actual disease. A disease must have a demonstrable physical abnormality, such as cancer cells on a "Pap" smear or biopsy, or high blood sugar in diabetes, or uric acid in gout. The only actual abnormality -- disease in any mother "treated" with drugs for "PPD" is the intoxication-poisoning due to ingestion of the psychiatric drug itself. This is not to say that emotional turmoil and pain do not exist -- surely they do, but they are not diseases per se, as psychiatry contends to sell drugs as the first line of treatment. In Sharon Alley's case that drug was Paxil. Without actual diseases to treat, no psychiatric drug can be called essential and justifiable for a pregnant woman where exposure of the unborn child is a certainty. Moreover, no drug can be guaranteed risk-free for either the unborn or nursing child.
On May 15, 2000, The Boston Globe reported: "Dr. Jonathan O. Cole, a Harvard psychiatrist who was one of the first to suggest that Prozac and similar antidepressants could precipitate suicide, is now criticizing drug companies and the US Food and Drug Administration, saying they are failing to take the problem seriously."
In 2005 the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA), banned antidepressants for those 18 and under due to their worsening the suicide risk.
On May 2, 2007, the FDA expanded the black box suicide warning on antidepressants to apply to young adults ages 18 to 24.
Despite proof that there is no benefit for any Prozac-like, SSRI, antidepressant, over placebo and that these drugs cause suicide, homicide, premature births, stillbirths, and pulmonary hypertension in newborns, they are represented to be safe and are pressed upon normal pregnant women and their unborn and nursing infants by psychiatry, the pharmaceutical industry and government, with profit the only motive. One third of pregnant women in the US already take psychiatric drugs at some point during their pregnancies and most are never warned of the known risks for themselves, their unborn and nursing babies, depriving them of their right to informed consent.
In 1960, Frances O. Kelsey of the FDA blocked an application by the Richardson-Merrell Corporation of Cincinnati to market thalidomide. Her concerns were soon borne out. Reports began appearing from Europe of the growing numbers of babies born with flipper-like limbs, with digits sprouting directly from hips and shoulders -- a condition called phocomelia. In November, 1961, Widukind Lenz, a German pediatrician, blamed thalidomide. He determined that half the mothers with deformed children had taken thalidomide in the first trimester of pregnancy. Before it was over, more than 10,000 such children in 46 countries had been born. But in the U.S., thanks to Kelsey and the FDA, thalidomide never made it to market and just 17 American children were born with thalidomide-induced phocomelia.
However, the FDA no longer protects us -- the public. They have become an arm of the pharmaceutical industry and do their bidding exclusively. They facilitate the victimization that is the psychiatric "diagnosis" and drugging of 20% of US school children and 50-75% of those in foster care. Should The MOTHERS Act be passed by the Senate, it will guarantee that more mothers-to-be, their unborn, still-developing, babies, and more nursing mothers and their nursing infants, will join the ranks of the psychiatrically drugged.

The See Beyond Behavior podcast aims to make sense of the complex and challenging world of behavior. Each episode delves into different behavioral topics, from parenting a child on the spectrum, to the ins-and-outs of trauma informed care.
Available on Amazon and others in print or Kindle edition: purchase the book that outlines the methodology that started it all. Includes simple tips and examples of how and why the method works, and how to get the most out of BEHCA.Buy on Amazon
It's a science-based and holistic approach to better understanding the purpose of behavior change. BEHCA uses data-driven insights to make the connection between how environment and health impact behaviors.
BEHCA has had an absolute positive impact on our entire family. We were so busy before BEHCA, trying to just handle escalations, we were missing vital information. BEHCA has given us the opportunity to see trends, patterns, and outside influences that we were unable to track before.
I knew that we wanted to see patterns, but before BEHCA it was just too much to add to our already long daily to-do list. With BEHCA our process is so much easier! The impact that this software has had for us is priceless.
BEHCA has also proven to be a highly valuable tool for IEP meetings, therapist sessions, as well as many other educational and professional settings. BEHCA is hands-down THE best app that we have ever used to track data for our special needs child.

Waypoints: Plotting a Course to Calling Onward!
Continuing the course to my call.
The conclusion of my story is hopefully a long way off, so instead of a conclusion, I will put my aspirations for the future and reflect on growth that I need to continue making. I have finished my education at the M.Div. level and seek a ministry position. In that job I will need to acculturate myself into that culture. I will take my time seeking a job and hopefully land wisely in a place where God would want me to be in ministry. Academically, I desire to continue writing academically for journals and magazines and keep my options open for a Ph.D. I also look forward to starting a family as well. I know sooner or later that some options may limit themselves, but I trust God will put me where I want him as long as I seek his call on my life. (Or I turn into Jonah and I get slammed down where I need to be anyway…) I would prefer the former and continue sailing towards waypoint over distant horizons knowing that my GPS (God' Providential Spirit) is going to give me solid course bearings.

What is your complaints procedure?
We seek to provide the highest standards and professional conduct in all aspects of our service delivery to our customers. If you need to raise a complaint, we would like to firstly apologise in advance for any distress or inconvenience you have experienced prior to taking this course of action. We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to rectify the situation and will aim to listen to and work with you to resolve your complaint through the channels set out below with speed and efficiency.
View our complaints procedure here.
What areas do you cover?
We operate nationally and have properties across the country from Yorkshire to Devon.
Where are your offices?
Our main offices are in Birmingham and Fareham with property managers, assistants and accounts staff also based at our London; Loughborough; Southampton and Stratford upon Avon offices.
Which schemes do you manage?
We manage all types of schemes; mixed use, mixed tenure, commercial, residential and retirement. We manage just over 30,000 individual units in approximately 1000 developments ranging from small individual blocks to large estates, comprising many hundreds of homes.
How do you select your contractors?
We have an approved Contractor system, which requires completion by all contractors of a questionnaire about their business provision of relevant health & safety documentation, and relevant qualifications, to ensure that only the most suitable contractors are used at our managed properties.
How often will a property manager inspect a block?
The frequency of visits is determined by the size and complexity of the scheme and is set out in our management agreement.
How do you hold service charge funds?
These are held strictly in accordance with the Landlord & Tenant Act, S42 Trust Client Accounts. Our Client Accounts are held at NatWest Bank, and we separate Client Accounts for service charge and reserve fund.
How can I make a payment to you?
We accept payment by cheque or electronic bank transfer or by debit/credit card over the telephone. Please call our Property Accounts Line 0121 710 1981 and select option 3 to talk with the team. Alternatively, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and your email will be dealt with by the team who will then liaise directly with you.
Why have I received an invoice for a balancing charge?
This is an invoice sent when the final service charge year-end accounts are produced. In simple terms, the balancing charge will be because there was more money spent during the year than was estimated. The accounts that should accompany the invoice, or may have been sent prior, will show the details of the actual expenditure. The Property Manager for your development will be able to provide more detail in each case. Please remember that the normal service charge invoices are based on an estimate and we cannot foresee all eventualities that may occur during the year ahead.
Why have I received an invoice for a balancing charge prior to my ownership of the property?
This can happen if there are service charge accounts published after your purchase for a period before you owned the property. This can also happen in odd cases where the service charge is due in arrears. In such cases you should refer to your solicitor who acted for you in your purchase as there should have been a retention agreed between the solicitors for such a situation.
Why are my payments due on set dates?
The lease or freehold deed will set the due dates for payment of charges such as ground rent, service charge, insurance etc. It is normal policy for these to be the dates on which we will accept payment. Payment in advance of the due date is acceptable and the money will be held against your name until due when it will be set against the relevant charge. Payments after the due date can cause cash flow problems for the service charge or insurance and can prevent us from paying the bills we received. Late payment can result in interest or penalty charges being applied to your account.
What do I do if I cannot make the payment in full on the due date?
It is essential that you contact us to discuss such situations. Please call our Property Accounts Line 0121 710 1981 and select option 3 to talk with the team. . Alternatively, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and your email will be dealt with by the team who will then liaise directly with you. We are required to have a strict credit control procedure in place. If you fail to contact us you can become liable for additional costs. Ultimately, we may have to write to your lender and be forced to take legal action against you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
SDL Property Management have relevant and appropriate insurance to ensure all our clients and customers are protected.
How do I report a repair?
Please contact your Property Management Team. When contacting us please ensure that you provide us with the full address for the property, details of the repair and your contact details. Please note that your contact details may be provided to the contractor to contact you directly, if appropriate.
How do I contact you out of hours?
If your property is signed up to an out of hours service you can be connected by contacting our maintenance lines for your local office. We operate an out of hours emergency line although please note that this is an optional service that is not taken up by all our clients.
How do I make an insurance claim?
If you would like to discuss an insurance claim with SDL Property Management then please call our Insurance Team on 0121 233 0500 then press option one for Residential queries and press option four for Insurance.
Dependent on who your cover is currently held with we may ask you to complete a claim form where you can provide us with as much information about the circumstances of the claim.
Once completed, the claim form will then be sent to our insurers who will contact you directly to progress the claim to its conclusion.
How do I extend the lease for my property?
In many cases, we act for the freeholder in connection with lease extensions. Please put your request in writing to your Property Management Team and ensure you provide the full address for the property and your contact details.
Why have I received "consultation" documents regarding future building works?
The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (as amended) provides for consultation when works are proposed which will exceed a certain threshold. That threshold is defined in the legislation and is currently where the amount to any single leaseholder will exceed £250 whether this is demanded separately or paid for from existing funds. We should inform you as part of the process whether you will be required to contribute any additional sums and we will also detail the nature of the work and then the quotes providing you with the opportunity to make formal observations.
I have noisy neighbours, what should I do?
Often, a polite conversation with the neighbour can solve these problems. We can issue a letter to the owner if requested to do so by you, but you must be prepared for us to give your contact details. If this is unsuccessful, then the local Environmental Health Department can become involved. They can install noise measuring equipment in your property to monitor the noise levels and can then take enforcement action if appropriate. In some cases, if we are to take further action, then the lease or freehold deed can require you to underwrite the costs of this action
What do I have to do if I want to install double glazing or make other alterations?
You may require consent from us on behalf of the landlord. Please contact your property management team who will send you a letter setting out the terms on which we allow alterations to be undertaken.
What do I do if I want to sublet my property?
You will need to refer to your lease and may need to consult your mortgage provider. We have provided further information below.
Your lease may have clauses preventing you from sub-letting or providing conditions in order to allow a sub-letting. It is important that you review your lease, in addition you may have conditions imposed by your mortgage lender depending on the type of mortgage you have. In addition to this there may be other clauses in the Lease dealing with the occupation of the property examples of which below.
Where sub-letting is permitted by the lease with or without conditions it may have additional clauses regarding the occupation of the property which may prevent such short term lettings.
As above your lease is likely to have clauses covering the occupation of the property and specifically stating that the property must be sub-let as a whole so it is unlikely that subletting for multiple occupancy would be permitted.
As above if your lease states that the property must be let as a whole and the car parking space and or garage form part of the same lease then you may not be able to sub-let.
How do I get a new key to the main entrance door or a new fob for the gates?
Please contact your Property Management Team and speak to the Property Assistant. They will be able to advise you of the cost which must be paid in advance.
Can I have a pet or animal at my property?
Some leases have an absolute ban on the keeping of pets or animals. In some cases, there is some discretion and consent of the landlord is normally required. Please contact your Property Management Team who will send you a letter setting out the terms on which we allow pets to be kept.
Can I put up a satellite dish?
Normally the answer to this question is "no". Most leases prevent individual owners from putting up satellite dishes. This is for a number of reasons, not least of which are that they can make the building look unsightly and also because there can be planning permission issues. In the first instance, please contact your Property Management Team who will advise in your particular circumstances. It may be that if there is enough interest in the building, we can put up a communal satellite dish to which all properties can be connected.

Maxim revealed some secrets that TV presenters use not to be nervous or not to show it to the audience. Maxim also touched upon the topic of image and demonstrated what the voice and look of a convincing person should be.

Well, anyone would be hard pressed to top this version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," actually performed in space from the International Space Station by Commander Chris Hadfield. Hadfield was the first Canadian to walk in space and also the first Canuck Commander of the ISS. I'm also guessing he's the first astronaut with a viral music video.

Using art, literature and folklore, Bill will discuss the Dutch culture of the era and the libertine characters like Griet who transplanted it to the Hudson Valley. The wanton ways of these early settlers helped fuel a conflict between the people and their rulers, a conflict many historians argue laid the foundation for the freedom-loving society that America became.
Bill is the author of The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan, a novel of New Amsterdam. De Halve Maen, Journal of the Holland Society, describes the book as a "romp through the history of New Netherland that would surely have Petrus Stuyvesant complaining about the riot transpiring between its pages." He is a trustee and the Treasurer of the New Netherland Institute, a nonprofit organization supporting research and education in Dutch-American history. The Institute currently is working with the New York State Office of Cultural Education to establish the New Netherland Research Center in Albany.
The talk will be in the Huxley Theater on the first floor of the Cultural Education Center, home of the New York State Library, Museum and Archives, at 310 Madison Avenue, Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY. It will run from 12:15 to 1:15 on Friday, May 14th. The program is free and attendees are invited to bring lunch.

All About Ollie
As promised, here is more about our new addition! Ollie was born on December 1 and has been the most easy-going baby (a good balance with Alice, luckily for me!). Vital stats: 8 lbs 5 oz, 21 inches long and born at 2:46 p.m. We are so blessed that he is a wonderfully healthy and happy boy. Today was Ollie's blessing and we had lots of loving family members come to attend it. We missed those who couldn't come - sorry for the late notice! I basically forgot about it until a week in advance.
Curtis, Kelli, our Alice, Audrey, Chris and baby Molly, Tyler, Ollie, Kathy, Grandma Diane, Grandpa Doug (Mom & Dad to me), Grandma Lota, Kjerstin and Clark. Steve, Sharon, Kristen and Annie came to the blessing but had to go to their own church afterwards. The highlights are a little blown with Ollie's white outfit, but I'm planning to get a photo of him in his blessing outfit soon - today he slept from when we got home until we took this picture - then we changed him for feeding time.
Grandma Lota read to Alice.
The photo I did get of Ollie
Sweet cousin Molly in the sweater I knit for her (thanks, Auds!)
Clark with the spread
We got more great pictures, so if you would like them in an email, let us know! You can also click on any of the above for a closer view.
Thanks to everyone who came and to everyone who helped us with food and desserts! We had a great day and are lucky to have so many wonderful family members. On the 30th this month, Alice and Ollie's Grammie, Papa and Uncle Luke are coming to visit and we are very excited for that!

Cousin Molly is Here!
The kids' first cousin (yes, first first cousin) on Kathy's side was born on Tuesday. You can see pics of the little doll here and here.
Which reminds me that our blog is terribly un-updated and we don't even have any mention of our own Oliver born on December 1st. Soon I will flood the feed with updates from the last 6 months.
