Ross CLA (Cimarron Large Arbor)
The CLA is an affordable hybrid large arbor fly reel that carries the name of one of Ross' oldest and most popular series. However the CLA is a big departure from the original Cimarron design. It incorporates our newest generation drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. The CLA matches the Cimarron in durability and affordable price, but offers a stronger drag, greater drag range and sensitivity, more pleasant incoming and outgoing sound, hybrid large arbor configuration, innovative conversion mechanism and other additional features that anglers have come to expect with modern fly reel design. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. The CLA will set a new standard for what anglers come to expect from an American made, high-quality, reasonably priced fly reel. CLA 4-7 (Larger Components for Bigger Fish!) The mechanical operation of the CLA is consistent throughout the series, but improvements have been made to the CLA sizes 4-7 to support their use when battling bigger fish. When comparing them to the smaller sized CLA reels, you will find that the 4-7 reels have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a STRONGER DRAG SYSTEM. To ensure smooth performance with fast-running fish, these larger four sizes have also been equipped with oil impregnated bushings for spool rotation. The frame and spool have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing. With a wide range of sizes available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application, including Spey. FEATURES Frame/Spool Material : 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy Manufacturing Specifications : Fully machined, 1 piece frame, 1 piece spool with a Delrin pressed hub - manufactured on automated CNC machines Drag Material : Delrin 500AF with impregnated Teflon space-age polymer that is durable, heat resistant, self lubricating and maintenance free Drag Mechanism : Delrin 500AF to stainless interface pull frame friction disc drag system Drag Engagement System : Dual redundancy radial pawl engagement Spool Rotation Mechanism : Delrin hub rotating on a stainless steel spindle, oil impregnated bronze bushings rotating on a stainless steel spindle (Sizes 4-7) Number of Reels in Series : 8 Fly Rod Coverage : 2 wt. to 13 wt. and Spey 6wt. to 12wt.

Savannah Business Journal Staff Report
June 11, 2019 - From Chef-owner Chris Dickerson, of Jacksonville's popular Corner Taco, comes his newest concept: Squirrel's. Having relocated to Savannah, Dickerson will open Squirrel's in the city's thriving midtown district. Squirrel's is a semi-swanky eatery, dishing up reinvented Italian fare with a focus on pecan wood-fired pizza.
Part restaurant, part bar, part lounge, Squirrel's creates a distinctive dining experience with a focus on crave-worthy pizza guided by the spirit of Italian craft techniques. Characterized by a crisp, yet airy crust, pizzas are topped with fresh ingredients made in-house or sourced throughout the United States, then finished in a custom-built Pavesi oven. Guests can enjoy classic pies, such as the Margaret, which features organic Bianco DiNapoli Tomatoes, housemade mozzarella, parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, local basil pureé; as well as unique creations, like the Benny Blanco Royale, which is a white pizza topped with housemade mozzarella, parmesan, rosemary, lemon agrumato, and lamb shoulder. In addition to pizza, the menu offers a selection of sandwiches and flavorful bites to divide and conquer together. The bar, clad with warm white oak tambour panels and topped with a Carrara marble surface, houses a selection of craft beer, a thoughtfully curated wine list, sublime martini options, and classic cocktails.
Nestled within an international style building with ribbon windows and a steel and brick facade, Squirrel's interior is stylish, inviting, and approachable. Old-world lacquered paneling imparts a library-meets-speakeasy lounge sensibility, while the deep teal wall color seamlessly unifies the entire interior. Across from the bar, a leather bench and booths offer additional seating for guests, while at the front of the intimate interior a casual lounge area highlights a portrait wall of squirrel ancestors, a nod to the restaurant's name.

|The unity candle from a wedding Thryn and Gabe attended last summer. This is a tradition Gabe and Thryn toyed with but ultimately decided against.
We broke the planning of the ceremony up into two sections; walking down the aisle and the vows. Walking down the aisle was probably the more fun aspect of planning, so we'll start there.
As a disclaimer neither of us have been to many traditional weddings, so many of the more classical traditions we learned through media or in slightly altered forms. We knew right off the bat that while wanted our family to be involved in our walking down the aisle, we did not want our fathers to "give us away." It was in discussing whether we wanted "Broom's people" (groomsmen/bridesmaids) that we came with an idea as to how to incorporate our families without utilizing a patriarchal tradition. Instead of having brooms people precede us down the aisle, we plan to have our family fill that role. We'll begin with our siblings, and then progress to our parents, and finally we'll walk down the aisle hand in hand.
After we'd settle on logistics, we discussed what we'd be walking down the aisle to. Thryn pretty much refused to walk down the aisle to anything by Wagner, so the traditional "here comes the bride" was out. Instead, we settle on the Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibit by Modest Mussorgsky. As a promenade, it is easy to keep in step with and it is just long enough that we will be able to use the whole piece without likely needing to repeat it. Our dear friends will still be a part of our "wedding party" though. Since there will be so few people at the wedding itself, we've decided to describe all those present at it as our wedding party. They'll all be invited to the rehearsal dinner and, of course, have a place of honor at our reception.
|One tradition we're considering is stepping on a glass at the end of the vows, which is traditionally down by the bride(s) in a Jewish wedding. Pictured is Thryn's mom and stepmom breaking a glass at their wedding
One of our friends will have an especially honored roll, though, as our officiant! The vows part of our ceremony is still something we're working out the details of. Thryn is currently working on converting to Judaism and isn't entirely sure yet how much of their new faith they want to include. What we do know is, the choice of our officiant started off as a joke and then grew into an idea we really loved. Natalie, our friend and future officiant, was Thryn's very first girlfriend. Of course being young and new to romance, Thryn had the idea that some someday Natalie would marry them, and now she will be; just in a very different sense. There is something that feels deeply symbolic about an old friend and lover being the person who officiates and blesses your marriage in that way. It's renewing while still connecting deeply to your own romantic past.
We'll be writing our own vows, that admittedly we've been working on since we first said "I love you." This ceremony will be far from traditional, and that's completely all right with us.

Researchers at Pennsylvania State, Cornell University and Northwestern University, have created a ferroelectric material that can operate on silicon. The technology, commonly found in proximity-powered smart-cards today, allows certain transistors to retain their electrical state even when the power is shut off. In theory, it could allow for instant-on computers to become a reality.
The researchers refer to the technology as a hybrid transistor. Its application perfects previous attempts which had difficulty adhering the material to silicon through some type of chemical deposition process. The technique they've identified uses strontium titanate, which is a variant of the zirconium titanate or strontium bismuth tantalate ferroelectric materials used in smart-cards today, and chemically deposits it on silicon.
While strontium titanate in its relaxed state is not ferroelectric in any way, according to researchers at Cornell, the researchers have demonstrated that under a few atomic layers of oxygen, the strontium titanate becomes "squeezed" by about 1.7%. This tiny difference in the material drastically alters its properties and turns it into a material with useful memory properties, according to Darrell Schlom, principal investigator and professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State.
Using the squeezed strontium titanate, circuits have been constructed in the lab which retain their state even when power is not applied.
The process is not yet ready for commercial application, though this breakthrough is being heralded as a major step forward. The requirements of depositing the material accurately in a bulk process are still potentially years away from being seen.
Schlom said "It would be instant-on, meaning as soon as the power comes back on, your computer would be in exactly the same state it was when you turned it off and ready for action."
Ferroelectric transistors have been known about since 1955 when Bell Labs scientists first identified their benefits.
The paper's first author is Maitri P. Warusawithana, a postdoctoral associate in Schlom's lab. Other Cornell collaborators were David Muller, professor of applied and engineering physics, and graduate student Lena Fitting Kourkoutis. The team also involved scientists at the University of Pittsburgh, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Pennsylvania State University, Northwestern University, Motorola Corp., Ames Laboratory and Intel Corp.
The research was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Energy.
See PC Advisor and Cornell University for research information.
Rick's Opinion
As Schlom says, "Exactly" is the key word here. Such a system would allow the silicon to be signaled internally and automatically whenever the device is shutting down. At that very instant, data would be copied from the electrically-charged high-speed transistors that populate modern silicon chips today, to be deposited into tiny pools of this type of ferroelectric transistor-based memory, which are distributed around the CPU's internal layout and are designed to hold specific internal logic unit state data. This essentially retains the entire machine's exact state at the time of the signaling.
When the power-on sequence later occurs, everything is copied from the ferroelectric transistors to the appropriate logic units, and the CPU comes back alive and continues exactly from where it left off, and without delay — and without reading data back into memory from the hard drive as is done today on OS-level auto-resume functions, this technology would be in silicon.
Such a restart would allow mid-activity operations, such as editing a spreadsheet or viewing a webpage to reappear instantly, or certainly within a fraction of a second at most as some internal devices which are powering back on may have to re-authenticate to their network or BIOS hosts.
In short, this immediate power-up sequence would result in a computer that never had to be rebooted — provided there were no software errors — as its entire design would be built around the concept of saving the exact state for later restoration when power-on is re-applied, and being part of such a global concept in design.
In fact, if we took this idea to the extreme, a large portion of the computer could put itself to sleep automatically using these ferroelectric materials in various components, and it could do so within nanoseconds of a recognized lull in activity. A new, deeper sleep state could be achieved whereby the machine puts parts of itself into a deeper state of sleep than is possible today, but without any observable changes in performance because it could instantly return to full operations by copying data from the saved ferroelectric state to normal transistors.
Note also that MRAM, which is called magneto-resistive random access memory, has been researched for many years. There are MRAM products which exist today, though they are prohibitively expensive for general PC use. However, their memory architecture results in something similar to this ferroelectric deposition process, in that the state of every bit is maintained with MRAM even when the power is turned off.
If this technology could ever be perfected and brought to price parity with existing DRAM solutions, then the realization of instant-on devices would be completely pervasive as MRAM's data processing speeds are nearly identical to those of DRAM, meaning the entire design utilizing DRAM components could be replaced with MRAM components, and the associated realization of the new "always has data regardless of power state" could be applied with all added benefits to the electronic device being realized.
This technology is coming. In one for or another. And when we get it, within five years it will completely change everything about servers, desktops, notebooks, netbooks, MIDs, handhelds, mobiles and related gadgets. Nothing will be unaffected by MRAM or this type of instant-on transistor.

Ohhhh heyyyy! So I guess my blog is sort of going back to the basics. Almost like when I first started blogging and mostly used it as a way to document important milestones. Summer has been busy and has left little time to sit in front of the computer. That is, until my littlest reached a brand new milestone.
He broke his leg.
So, our Summer has come to a screeching halt. The other day, Easton was on his scooter and Bennett was riding his bike, and they two of them were paying no attention whatsoever and just collided right into each other. It was one of those moments where you see it coming, but can't do much to stop it. Ugh. Well Bennett's wheel slammed right into Easton's leg, right under the knee. Easton immediately collapsed and started screaming bloody murder. He couldn't put any weight or pressure on his leg, so I took him to the urgent care where they confirmed that he definitely had a fracture in his knee. We weren't sure of the severity, so they splinted him up and referred us to the Orthopedic doctor.
I was hoping the Ortho would tell us it wasn't a big deal and he would get away with a brace and taking it easy on that leg for a little bit. We had our appointment yesterday, and she told us that the fracture was right on the growth plate, and he would need a full leg cast for a minimum of 3 weeks to make sure he didn't do any more damage to the knee. Ugh, definitely not the news we wanted with only a few short weeks left of Summer. But, obviously, we want to make sure that Easton is taken care of and heals properly.
He took the news pretty well, actually. And did very well during the cast application. The technician gave him lots of color choices, and naturally, he chose pink. Which he always will admit is his very favorite color. lol. I love that about him. I think he kinda rocks the pink. Don't you?
The good news is, he seems to be in good spirits and handling the cast very well! And thankfully I kept our stroller (I have no idea why? Intuition, maybe?), so we are still able to get out and about. And honestly, I think he likes it, being strolled around like a little King. He's totally milking it. lol. I actually feel worse for Bennett, because now he's going to be a little more cooped up, and he hates being cooped up.
Our next appointment is in a week to see how the fracture is healing, hoping for good news! Keep us in your thoughts :)
Also, I think Easton just earned a new childhood badge or something with this cast, didn't he? Dude, you've leveled up.

I felt that way three years ago when my little guy got his first concussion. And also, my 21 year old got his very first stitches last night, so.... I think he qualifies for an Adult Badge of some sort as well! :) Hope your little guy heals quickly. :)

Homebrewing Spreadsheets – Brewing Spreadsheet, Brew in a Bag and Small Batch
Homebrew recipe and brew day software can be handy. Something like BeerSmith is invaluable for creating recipes, figuring SRM, figuring IBUs, fitting beers into established styles and lots more. Some are BeerSmith power users and track every recipe and every brew day in this great software.
Sometimes you just want to brew. It's recipe that you've brewed before, something you're putting together on the fly, or you just want something quick and easy to tell you temperatures and volumes. Even though I have and use recipe software, I just find it easier to use brew day spreadsheets to track each individual beer. I've developed three that I use in different situations.
The formulas in these spreadsheets are tried and true. I've used them myself for years. Hundreds, maybe thousands of homebrewers have used them too. I've taken feedback and tweaked and corrected things over time.
- My Brewing Spreadsheet – written from the batch sparge perspective, although variable can be modified to work with fly sparging. Figures water volumes, strike water temperatures, projects volumes, helps you correct gravities and more. If you're batch sparging, your brew day is presented in narrative step by step directions. A one page printed brew day summary is also created from your recipe letting you know what to do at each step and giving you something to write notes on.
- BIAB Brew Day Spreadsheet – similar to my original beer making spreadsheet but tweaked for Brew in a Bag/BIAB style brewing. This spreadsheet has an anytime gravity estimate and correction calculator to help you project and correction gravities. Instead of a one page summary, the entire spreadsheet is setup to print out on a single 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper. You still get narrative step by step directions.
- Small Batch BIAB Spreadsheet – Brew in a Bag, but this time a simplified version for small batch BIAB brewers. This is designed to make homebrewing easy and the post contains a step by step how to for brewing small batch all grain homebrews on your stovetop.

The foods that best fuel exercise for females are colorful carbohydrates.
Like men, women who exercise metabolize these foods better than women who don't exercise.
Exercise is the single best thing a woman can do to improve her health. If done properly, exercise can restore proper skeletal alignment, improve the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, reduce blood pressure, lower the concentration of LDL-cholesterol and instill a more positive attitude in life.
An exercise program that includes stretching is recommended because intense exercise and aging contributes to the progressive shortening of muscle fibers.
Stretching therefore delays aging by better resisting the forces of gravity
Muscles and ligaments should be stretched only after adequate warming has occurred in order to maintain elasticity.
The Ancient Greeks viewed exercise or activity, as part of a normal diet.
Female athletes will remain young longer in life and have a better quality of life than sedentary females.
Proper exercise enables a female to strengthen her skeleton by engaging groups of muscles through their full range of movements.
This gives the body strength and proper alignment.
Together with molecular balance, a strong body is more resistant to illness.
Women function best from a combination of aerobic, strength and flexibility exercises.
Hindered movement is caused by arthritis, compensations and inactivity.
This program recommends functional exercises to correct those imbalances.
To counter the harmful consequences of exercise, (free radical attacks,tears and inflammation), a good diet must provide the natural anti-inflammatory and colorful antioxidants that are embedded in the fibers of the carbohydrate foods and synthesized by the botanical factories of plants.
The ingredients have been assembled into Green Red and Blue libraries and are available on a subscription basis as as set of smoothies and drinks.
Good health is based on maintainig molecular balance.
When a good balance between receptor and hormones exists, cells respond in the manner that nature intended them to.
And when they are in imbalance, they do not respond to the brains instructions properly, which causes disease.
Good molecular balance is based on good nutritional behavior.
Poor choices made on food, exercise, drugs and rest alters the ideal balance and results in disease.
Here in America, there is an unhealthy alignment of interests that promotes imbalance.
Illness and imbalance are profitable.
Two negative consequences of imbalance is obesity and nutritional diabetes.
Obesity is inactivity fueled by food addiction.
This form of diabetes is often caused by frequent snacking and damaged receptors.
The diets obese women follow (extreme carbohydrate restricted diets) reverse the metabolic imbalance of improper sugar metabolism.
These diets and the other high protein diets are very valuable to them but unhealthy for female athletes.
A colorful diet will help female athletes promote this healthy balance.
This is counbter to the common acceptance that high protein diets are good diets.
High protein diets are pro arthritic diets.
Females on this program are assured that an abundance of antioxidants will be available to help their bodies cope with the stress of exercise.
Antioxidants are needed in higher amounts for them because they need to quench the enormous burst of free radicals that follows exercise.
The failure of free radicals to mount attacks against a cell's liporproteins and membrane receptors prevents the initiation of disease.
The source of power in this program lies in the ability of food to influence metabolic events.
These events are interactions between receptors and a ligands.
Begining with these interactions, a cascade of events follow and results in a myriad of interactions between the brain and the activities it controls.
Exercise promotes good health by stimulating the body to better manage stress.
Exercise restores the balance between sugar and insulin.
It protects healthy HDL and removes lousy LDL. This alone improves health but that is just the beginning.
Dopamine and serotonin require balance for mental health, endorphins and Substance P are needed to manage pain.
Female athletes need a favorable ratio of omega-3s to omega-6 fats to maintain molecular balance.
It accomplishes this by repressing inflammation thru the lowering of the amount of inflammatory mediators created.
In the case of the omegas, an imbalance between these polyunsaturated oils promotes inflammation and arthritis.
When they are in balanc, they do not.
A healthy balance is achieved by a series of molecular interactions or switches.
On a chemical level, the two entities combine with each other via electron release and attachemnt.
In some cases, this signals the formation of releasing and blocking factors which can then promote or hinder another reaction.
Its a cascade of molecular events, which are responsible for the final overall effect.
This mechanism functions as the 0's and 1's of biology, the yin-yang of the universe.
These molecular events control growth and development as well as the ebb and flow of hormones.
The collective effect produced by the combination of the brain's normal mood transmitters, endorphins and brain receptors determines the mental outlook, threshold for pain and physical ability of the individual.
The molecular events that unfold in the bodies of athletes are predictable and efficient.
Their timings run smoothly as if the body had an automatic pilot switch that is flicked on by exercise.
Illness is the result of imbalance.
Exercise promotes balance.
Colorful foods are recommended because these foods best fuel exercise.
Exercise promotes good health by stimulating the body to manage stress.
For example, exercise restores the balance between sugar and insulin, protects healthy HDL and removes lousy LDL.
This alone improves health but that is just the beginning.
Just as dopamine and serotonin require balance for mental health, endorphins and Substance P are needed to manage pain.
It is the quality of this inner balance that reflects the outward balance we understand as good or poor health.
It is life's activities and old fashioned exercise that burns the calories of the food we eat.
Exercise is the fuel oi good health.
The absence of exercise in the diet causes disease.
The increased activity demanded by this program requires women to consume more efficient foods to fuel activity and more colorful ones to help them recover from it.
The muscle and bone strengthening effects of exercise require female athletes to provide adequate but not supra-normal amounts of protein in their meals.
Make no mistake, The Female Diet is a high carbohydrate diet and categorically states that for active athletes, high protein or carbohydrate restriction diets are a prescription for arthritis, cardiovascular disease and premature death.
The foods in this program contain a library of color pigments and a universe of phytonutrients.
They are mostly whole plants, because only the whole library of a plant can both fuel exercise and aid the body's ability to heal.
Botanical products are usually added to flavor and spice up food but they also have a profound effect on health.
Not only do they give food a wonderful taste but they also prevent disease.
In this program, foods are treated as drugs.
Colorful foods are divided into white, green, red, white and blue, depending on the predominant pigment in the plant.
Colorless foods include healthy oils, mushrooms, beans, seeds, nuts and grains.
Colorful foods are more efficient in energy exchanges and are higher in antioxidants than all other foods.
These increased amounts are needed because exercise increases the body's demand for energy as well as the formation of free radicals.
Female athletes who eat healthy foods will perform better, have less pain and experience less trauma and injury than those who eat high protein foods and use drugs to control pain.
Female athletes who begin this exercise program early in life will delay their entry into menopause and its harmful consequence, osteoporosis.
Females need to exercise.
Exercise improves and maintains health and requires movement, the most beneficial activity in life.
Inactivity and sedentary behavior causes disease.
Movement was once a natural part of everyday life, but the American sedentary lifestyle and its inactivity has removed it.
Exercise restores movement to life.
The more sedentary and stressful the work, the more exercise that is required to counter it.
Movement is essential to good health.
Movement is dependent on a series of transmembrane proteins, charged ion particles and high-energy phosphate compounds.
All of which run on autopilot and not under any conscious control.
The only influence is thru the diet.

Georgia Pet Foundation is committed to making Georgia a no-kill state. In order to accomplish this goal, we must END pet overpopulation. The most effective means of doing so is providing widespread low-cost statewide spay/neuter programs. This translates into hundreds of thousands of lives saved.
In with the new
Governor Deal signed the new GPF plate into legislation in April 2016. This marked the beginning of a new approach to animal welfare license plates. The GPF plate costs the consumer less while providing more funds directly to spay/neuter (90%). Your small annual donation adds up to big results, directly helping animals in need.
We Need Your Help
Georgia Pet Foundation needs to sell 5,000 tags to kick off our grant program. This ensures that we will have enough funds to allocate.
GPF is committed not only to transparency but to community education as well. Once we begin awarding grants, we will be able to share with the public the winning applicants, the success of their programs and guidelines to help others succeed.
Our Goal
When you buy a GPF license plate, you are saving the pets of Georgia.

Visit Greece and Embrace History
We arrive in Athens mid-afternoon and are met by our representative and given the tickets for our flight to Thessaloniki. This is the city where Paul was received by Jason. Paul was preaching the Word of God here until he was rushed out of the city. In the morning we start with the landmarks of the city: the White Tower, the Walls of the Byzantine Acropolis, the Roman Arch of Galerius and the Rotonda. We visit two of the city's oldest and most admired Christian churches, the Basilicas of St. Demetrius and St. Sophia. We then follow the route of the Via Egnatia and visit, like Paul and his companions, the area of Amphipolis, to see the famous funerary Lion of Amphipolis. Then we travel onto Philippi. There, we visit the Baptistery of Lydia near the river, where Paul baptized her. Also, we visit the ruins of the Forum of Philippi, the Christian Basilicas, the "Prison of Paul" and the Theater. Then we drive to Kavala. A picturesque port, we view the Byzantine Castle and the Roman Aqueduct. Overnight in Thessaloniki. This morning we see the world famous Byzantine monasteries that are perched on summits of gray rock peaks of varied and beautiful shapes. Their history goes back to the 14th century when the monks sought refuge in the cliff-side caves, then fled higher to build the original wooden shelters, which were later transformed into monasteries. Afterwards, we continue to Athens for overnight.
The White Washed Island, Mykonos
We sail this morning from Athens to the quaint isle of Mykonos, called the island of windmills. We arrive at Mykonos, where we disembark and have time to experience the waterfront lined with shops and cafes. We stroll the charming walkways through a maze of white-washed buildings before returning to the ship for dinner and evening activities. In the morning we arrive in Kusadasi, Turkey. Excursion Included: A short drive takes us to Ephesus, where Paul spent three years during his ministry. The impressive remains of Ephesus include the Agora, the Theater, the Stadium, the Library of Celsus, the ruins of the Temple of Diana and many more. Later, we sail for the island of Patmos. Excursion Included: Here we visit the Monastery of St. John, on one of the island's highest points. From there, we walk down to the Grotto of the Apocalypse, the site of the apocalyptic Revelations of St. John the Divine. In the morning, we arrive at Heraklion, Crete and disembark. Excursion Included: During this excursion, we take a short ride through the town of Heraklion and then arrive at the Knossos excavations. In the afternoon, we cruise to the isle of Santorini and disembark. Excursion not included: Santorini is often referred to as the most breathtaking of all the Greek islands. The exquisite whitewashed villages, including the town of Fira, or Thira, cling to volcanic cliffs, accessible by cable-car, or mule.
Athens Bus Tours
We disembark the cruise this morning in Piraeus. After disembarkation, we will continue our sightseeing with a visit to Ancient Corinth. We visit the Archaeological Museum, the Forum, the Temples and the famous Bema, where Paul stood before Gallio, accused by the Jews of Corinth. Then we drive to Cenchreae, the little harbor from which Paul sailed back to Asia, thus ending his second missionary journey. Here we admire the architectural wonders of ancient Athens, as we follow our guide to the world-renowned Acropolis, to see the Propylea, the Erechtheum and the Parthenon. We visit Mars Hill. Then we see the Agora, the ancient center of the economic and public life of the city, where Paul preached to the skeptical Athenians. During the bus tour, we also see Constitution Square with the House of Parliament and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Temple of Zeus, the Old Olympic Stadium and the Neoclassical Buildings of Athens. The afternoon is at leisure to explore Athens on your own. Dinner and overnight are in Athens. We will include a special visit to Delphi, this mountainous city which today is both an archaeological site and a modern town. For the ancient Greeks, Delphi was labeled the "omphalos" (navel) of the earth and it is here that the eternal flame burned in the Temple of Apollo. Delphi was the site of the Delphic oracle, the most important oracle in the classical Greek world. It was also here beginning in 586 B.C. that athletes from all over the Greek world competed in the Pythian Games, one of the precursors to the modern Olympics. On our way up to Delphi, we'll have time to stop and enjoy the small scenic villages that cling to the mountainsides. Dinner and overnight are in Athens.
Optional Rome & Florence Extension
This morning we transfer to Athens Airport for our flight to Rome. We arrive in Rome where we are met by our agent and begin our sightseeing tour. We include a special visit to the Catacombs, where we explore tunnels and see the carvings on the walls from early Christians. From here we continue for a visit to St. John Lateran and visit the "Sacred Steps." Afterwards we make a special visit to St. Paul's Church where tradition believes the Apostle Paul is buried. We conclude our day with a stop to see the Forum and St. Peter in Chains. Overnight in Rome. After breakfast, we transfer to the train station for the one hour and twenty-minute train ride to Florence. We then meet our city guide who takes us on a walking tour of Florence. We include a special visit to Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral and Academy of Fine Arts, also known as the Accademia. The Accademia has been home to Michelangelo's David since 1873. We then return to the train station for our ride back to Rome. Overnight in Rome. After breakfast, our first visit today is to the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, the celebrated Chapel of the Popes and the venue of the Conclaves for Papal elections. From here, our next stop is the Basilica of St. Peter, the largest church in the world, which overlooks the enormous Piazza San Pietro. Then we take a sightseeing tour of this eternal city. We visit the Colosseum, which symbolizes the eternity of the Roman civilization. We also visit the Piazza Venezia, dominated by the imposing monument to Vittorio Emanuel II. Before we return to our hotel, we stop near the Fontana di Trevi and follow tradition by tossing a coin into the fountain, promising to return to Rome. Dinner and overnight are in Rome.

A lecturer at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin, Chapman founded and directed UT's 21st Century Project, "which explores ways for citizens to be involved in policymaking involving technology, particularly in the areas of telecommunications, the Internet and digital media." He is better known, however, as the executive director of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, which promotes the responsible and ethical use of computer technology. "He helped many distinguished computer scientists articulate their concerns," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of EPIC — the Electronic Privacy Information Center — which was incubated by CPSR. "He made many people stop and ask hard questions about technology. Not just 'Is it cool?' but 'Does it make our lives better, or more just? And does it make our world more secure?'" At a CPSR board meeting in 1988, Chapman banged his fist on the table, Eric Roberts, a Stanford University professor remembers. At that moment, an earthquake struck, "and we all thought, 'He commands forces greater than we know!'" Chapman died December 14 while on a kayaking trip to Guatemala, of a heart attack. He was 58.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas! Rarely ever happens where I live but a girl can dream can't she? Since I may not get the real thing, I decided to kick off my Spirit of Giving Christmas posts with a little snow ALL this upcoming week! We are going to start off small until we get the snowball rollin' right up to the next give away on Dec. 4!
Speaking of give aways, the winners from yesterdays entries are:#6, Catherine Holman! You can visit Catherine's beautiful blog here. Catherine is a wonderful artist who paints in the folk art style. Each of her paintings comes with a little story and I just love her work. Congrats Catherine, email me your address and I will get your package right out. AND.....

You are sure to love her blog and she has a wonderful knowledge of plants. Congrats Susie, email me your address and your package will be on its way!
I love to have really quick and easy ideas for gifts that I can have on hand for visitors during the holiday season. Something that could be given to a child's teacher at school or church, or perhaps a little something I can tuck a tip into and give to those who provide me with special services, like my hairstylist or postman, you get the idea. I think Snowman Soup fits the bill! It is quick, cute, and easy, just what I need during the busyness of the holidays and it yummy too! Snowman Soup:
*White Card Stock
*Patterned Paper
*Vellum OR you can substitute any of the following: cotton batting, white felt, or fiber fill OR white craft foam
(If you use velum, you will need vellum tape by 3M)
*Cellophane Bag, plain or snowflake patterned, OR Brown Paper Lunch Bag OR Colored Gift Bag
*Assorted Embellishments, buttons, ribbon, beads, etc. for snowman face and clothing
*Ribbon or Twine
*Mini resealable bag, can be found in craft stores near jewelry making supplies or at grocery stores, buy the snack size zip bags
*Hole Punch
Soup Ingredients:
*1 single serving of instant hot cocoa mix
*Mini Marshmallows
*1 Candy Cane
*2 to 3 Chocolates
Empty contents of hot cocoa mix into a mug, add one or two chocolates, add boiling water, stir with peppermint candy cane to mix and flavor the snowman soup. Sip and enjoy!
Makes one serving
real good this year,
always glad to
hear it.
With freezing
drawing near.
You'll need to
warm the spirit.
So here's a little
Snowman Soup
complete with stirring stick.
Add hot water,
sip it slow
it's sure to
do the trick!
NOTE: Copy and save the poem to print out OR if you would like a copy of this poem that is to scale, with eight copies per 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, just email me and I will return your email with an attachment you can print out onto card stock. I can also send you the snowman pattern if needed.
*Cut 6" x 4 1/4" rectangle of patterned paper to make bag topper*Tear vellum strips to form snow drifts and adhere with vellum tape OR cut felt, batting into snow drift shapes and adhere with craft glue or spray glue OR glue on fiberfill for snow OR use plain white paperNOTE: The vellum only shows up if you use a dark background paper or card stock
*Print out poem on white card stock, trim, and glue to bag front as shown in the photo, you may want to mat the poem on a coordinating piece of card stock OR ink the edges for a little color OR trim with a decorative scissor*From white felt cut out a snowman shape, approx. 3" tall and no wider than 1 3/4" at widest point, and glue to bag topper front and embellish as desired*Fill bag with Snowman Soup ingredients. Fold bag top closed.
*Fold over top of bag topper 3/4"* Place bag top in fold of topper, punch holes through all layers.*Thread ribbon or twine through holes and tie closed, trimming the ends. For the pastel packages I made, I used colored marshmallows while others received white. Click on any photo to enlarge for a detailed view.BONUS IDEA:
Save time - mat the poem with a colored tag and tie it to a holiday mug filled with the Snowman Soup ingredients, pop it in a gift bag, and you are done!
Don't limit yourself to traditional papers or embellishments, below are some variations on the theme.
This little guy is a traditional snowman all cut from felt. I dotted the eyes and mouth with black craft paint and cut arms from black card stock.This one would be perfect for a little boy. As a little twist, I used shiny silver tape, found in hardware stores, for the snow. (I snitched mine from Handy Hubby's workshop.)Who says snow can't be pink? I think pink is perfect for this little green eyed girl! Her cheeks are dusted with blush by using an eye shadow applicator. Her arms are cut from felt and give her a hugable look!This cutie is a little bit country with his burlap hat and textured wallpaper snow. He has real twig arms and a tiny corduroy scarf.
Torn from handmade paper and tinted with chalk this little guy came out looking a bit more like a leprechaun than a snowman, but you get the idea! He sits atop snow drifts of cardboard with a felt hat embellished with a sheet music band.
White paper snow drifts are edged in pink chalk where a sparkly miss sports a fanciful hat with a glittered band, a big pink bow and silver bead buttons finish off her costume.This little guy is as traditional as they come, a simple snowman with a red jewel nose and black ribbon scarf. He too sits atop silver snow and sports silver branch arms.
BONUS IDEA: Stamp a brown paper bag for a country or vintage look using a snowflake stamp and brown ink to compliment the style of your tag. KIDS CORNER:While little hands are certainly sweet and often helpful, (they can fill the bags!), they often want to get in on the act of creating something. Most children find making a Melted Snowman a funny idea.
This is a quick and easy craft that will need little supervision or preparation. If you have older children, have them prepare and supervise the activity while you get other holiday plans underway.MATERIALS:
*White felt or white cotton batting, cut in blob shape
*White pompoms or Cotton balls
*Wiggle eyes
*Black seed beads
*Black felt, cut in shape of hat
*Orange craft foam, felt, or construction paper, cut in small triangle for nose
*White craft glue
*Start by cutting out a white blob shape, this will be your snowman body
*Glue pompom or cotton ball onto your felt, this will be your snowman head
*To make the face, glue on two wiggle eyes, orange triangle nose, and beads for mouth
*To finish body, glue on buttons and twig arms
*Cut out hat shape and glue to front of head
BONUS IDEA: Leave enough room on the front of each snowman for adding a name, outline in glue and glitter, use a paint pen, etc. Place a melting snowman on the plate of each place setting as place cards and watch little faces light up at their art being a part of your holiday celebration
On Sunday I will share one of our special family holiday traditions with you. Monday I will return to "Let it Snow!" week and I have two special guest bloggers I will be directing you to for tutorials. I'll show you my attempts and variations of their ideas, and give you a peek at one of the give away prizes!

Mumbai, 12th July 2016: 'Spark Plug: 2016', The Annual Design event by students of ITM Institute for Fashion, Design and Technology has offered an exquisite feast for eye for Fashion enthusiasts with a thrilling fashion and Interior design display. Bright aspiring Fashion and interior designers of ITM IFDT presented eclectic melange of creative styles and displays which reflect their future aspirations at an evening of fun, Fashion and Design.
The couture collections designed by student designers were inspired by themes like journey of the soul, Free Spirit, Hip Hop, Warrior Princess and Fantasy under Water. The event saw the presence of celebrated fashion personalities like Meher Castelino Mistry, India's first beauty queen as the guest of honor.
The Students of the Interior Design Department showcased their academic projects which included their research folders, concept visual diaries, scale models of various projects. They also showcased prototypes of lamps, furniture and various other products which were created in the in house workshop assisted by trained faculty members. The models and prototypes were appreciated by the guests from the Industry.
While speaking on the occasion, Meher Castelino Mistry said, "The glamour of the fashion industry draws many people into fashion careers, making it one of the most competitive professions. However, the industry involves numerous other roles as well, such as makeup artist, stylist, textile designer, retail merchandiser, graphic designer, photographer, publicist and marketing professional. The field is extremely competitive, but if youre driven to pursue a fashion career, aim for the specific career path that fits you best."
She has also advised aspiring designers to launch their career with a well known label instead of risking career by starting with own label, which can turn out to become professional suicide.
Alesia Raut, popular Indian model, VJ, and fashion choreographer and Candice Pinto Miss Tourism International 2002 were the showstopper for the ramp walk. Show stoppers along with ten other models flaunted the collections designed by students at the show.
The show was co judged by Adiiti Walke, Senior designer of Spykar denims and Mitali Ambekar, a well known celebrity stylist .
Students showcased their talent and creativity in designing an image beyond the world of fantasy at Spark Plug. The design oozes with enthusiasm and energy made the garments look very beautiful and extra ordinary. The show was followed by a glitzy award ceremony for the Best Design Collection, Best Commercially Viable Collection, A Special Jury Award, Best Interior Design Concept, Best Exhibit Interior Design, Best Interior Design Project, Best Interior Design Concept.

Zion Church – Christ Episcopal Church
N. Washington Ave. and E. College St.
Reverend Thomas Wright and Reverend John Chilton organized Zion Church in 1832. Chilton was the first ordained Episcopal priest in Tennessee. The congregation held services at the Haywood County Courthouse until the church was erected. Construction began in 1854 on the Gothic revival building, but was not fully complete until 1869. A tin ceiling was installed in 1892 and the choir gallery over the door was replaced with the "St. Augustine" window. The main entrance has the original wood panel door. The windows are original, double hung, 1/1 wood and glass doors. Zion Church, the oldest in Brownsville, was listed on the National Register in 1979.

I just found this pic of her that I saved to my hard drive a while ago, and remembered why I've always wanted to give her a try. I've tried to attach the jpeg for your pleasure, but no sucess.

Casa das Musas
The Art of Petri Salo & Axel Sutinen
It´s always a challenge to be faced with images that delicately balance feelings of optimism and doubt about the world we live in. Axel Sutinen´s and Petri Salo´s paintings take up on a journey through a mindscape that reveal our interwoven environments that we often take for granted.
With their way of fusing ancient and contemporary symbols, they create an atmosphere that can catch us off guard, as if time were catching up with us. They are able to lift a veil, without being melodramatic, on issues of personal significance and events that become transformed into expressions that can reach us all.
Oliver Whitehead
For me everything is a mirror; process of life shows us our face.
It´s like "it is easy not to see people, the world and things as they are, but rather as an image, a story created by the mind"
The painting process is often a sacred moment; it requires stillness, an open mind and constant willingness to be there for art. It is in these moments of deep understanding without the thinking process veiling it, that the answers are rising, pictures and views are formed before my inner eye.
From my personal standpoint it is also these moments that teaches me; nothing is isolated, no entity, no happening nor the thoughts; everything is facets of the same consciousness that is witnessing the process of creation.

Do you dream about having a beautiful home landscape or have a specific landscape project in mind, but don't know how to get started? Whether professionally designed or not, it's fair to say most landscapes start out with good intentions. This five-session workshop is your opportunity to learn the theory and basic principles of sustainable landscape design and learn how to avoid some common mistakes.
The workshop focuses on the landscape design process. Participants use their own property as a class project focused on designing an entry garden or a deck and/or patio garden, or similar landscape space. You'll learn:
- How to perform a site survey and site analysis (including how to collect a soil sample and complete a landscape needs assessment),
- Develop base plans, concept lines and concept plans, draft and completed designs
- site-specific plant selection
- landscape installation
- Participants will also learn how to develop quality bed lines, how to properly mix and match plants based on function and landscape characteristics when designing landscape beds, and how to build flexibility into the landscape design and implementation process.
Each workshop session will culminate in a hands-on, take-home assignment that will allow participants to put pencil to paper and apply the techniques learned to their personal landscape project in preparation for the next class and the next steps in the landscape design sequence.
The workshop will also include time for personalized critiques of your ideas during the second, third, fourth and fifth sessions as you develop your designs.
Instructors: Julie Weisenhorn, University of Minnesota Extension horticulture educator, and Jim Calkins, landscape horticulturist and former landscape design and management instructor at the University of Minnesota.
Five sessions:
Mondays Feb. 5, 12, 19, 26 and March 5
6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Deadline for registration: February 1, 2018
Co-hosted by the Minnesota State Horticultural Society

Why reports don't hold water Posted by Don Shelton BY GEOFF BAKER / SEATTLE TIMES STAFF REPORTER INSIDE SPORTS BUSINESS Training camp can't start soon enough for the NHL as it deals with the usual midsummer rumor-mongering. Unlike past summers, Seattle now plays a key role in filling empty column space between puck drops. First, there was the non-sourced July report out of New York — immediately shot down by everybody — that Wayne Gretzky himself had joined would-be Seattle owners trying to bring hockey here. And then came this week's tidbit out of Vancouver that Las Vegas was a "done deal" for NHL expansion. That was followed by a tweet from a sports business columnist that the NHL would also expand to Seattle, Quebec City and install a second Toronto team by 2017. As usual, the steak beyond this sizzle amounts to little more than frozen puck patties. "There is nothing new to report on this subject,'' NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told me Wednesday. "Nothing new has happened." Sure, the NHL likes to break its own news and likely wouldn't confirm expansion leaks even if they were true. And, yeah, the league wants to expand to Las Vegas and Seattle, while Quebec City and the Toronto suburb of Markham, Ontario, make sense too. If the NHL didn't like Las Vegas, it wouldn't keep holding awards shows there. If NHL commissioner Gary Bettman wasn't interested in Seattle, he wouldn't have flown here to meet with politicians. But there's a world of difference between wanting something and deals being done. The Mariners might want to make Mike Trout their new center fielder. But announcing it would be ridiculous if the Los Angeles Angels have no intention of trading him. It takes two to tango and, in this case, make real news. And Seattle and Las Vegas don't have their dancing shoes on yet. As for Toronto and Quebec City, the league has already largely saturated the Canadian marketplace. In other words, it would probably head south of the border before increasing its Canadian footprint via expansion. That doesn't rule out future Canadian sites altogether. Quebec City and its under-construction arena would make an excellent relocation spot for the Florida Panthers or other struggling franchises. And until the Panthers' situation is fully resolved, the league might limit expansion to the U.S. and keep Canadian options as emergency landing zones. That leaves Seattle and Las Vegas for expansion. But while Las Vegas is building a privately financed arena, there is no ownership group there to negotiate with. Sure, the NHL likes Jerry Bruckheimer and who wouldn't want to pal around with a blockbuster Hollywood film producer? Still, until Bruckheimer forms an actual ownership group and expansion terms are committed to paper, that cart is screaming downhill with no horse. Also, since expansion tends to come in multiples, Seattle is the logical pairing for Las Vegas to balance the 14-team Western conference with the 16 in the East. But while Seattle has multiple potential owners — including real-estate mogul front-runner Victor Coleman — arena plans have stagnated. "Obviously, the arena uncertainty in Seattle creates obstacles to going forward with expansion prospect there at this time,'' Daly told me. So, for now, expansion to Seattle and elsewhere is on hold while would-be arena owner Chris Hansen gathers documentation on traffic in his proposed Sodo location. Once Hansen submits that to city officials, it will be four months before an Environmental Impact Study is completed. There is also the issue of changing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Hansen, the city and county. That MOU calls for up to $200 million in funds to be provided Hansen if he gets an NBA and NHL team for the arena; $120 million if it's NBA only. But there is no apparent political will to change the MOU to an NHL-first scenario. And there has also been zero indication from Coleman that he would front the extra $120 million or $200 million to build the arena without public funding. Even if Coleman and Hansen foot the entire arena bill, the city and county still have to sign off. Only then could te NHL even bring an expansion proposal before its fractious 30-member board of governors. Until that board approves it, the NHL isn't announcing expansion here. And without Seattle, the NHL likely isn't announcing expansion to Las Vegas or anyplace else. If wishes constituted "done deals" then Seattle and Las Vegas would already have teams. For now, training camp is mercifully only two weeks away. Geoff Baker is a sports enterprise and investigative reporter who writes a column on sports business.

2007 Palme d'Or winner Christian Mungiu returned in 2012 with a new feature Beyond the Hills based on a true account of an incident in a Romanian Monastery in 2005. Mungiu returns to a territory that he knows very well a complicated relationship between two women and the presence of a singular decisive male character.
The film opens with a train slowly entering a rural Romanian train station. Alina (Cristina Flutur) returns to her home town from Germany to convince her longtime friend Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) to return to Germany with her to start a new life. However Since their separation Voichita has taken vows and moved to the local monastery as an orthodox nun and is hopeful that she can convince her childhood friend to stay. The conditions at the monastery are beyond austere, no electricity, night time prayers by candlelight and fresh water comes from the well on the property.
The community is all female except for the the Priest that all of the nuns refer to as Papa. Alina arrives at the monastery with her outside thoughts and modern attitude in complete contrast to this medieval setting. Alina soon learns that her friend has changed. She expects them to share a bed while Voichita determined to take her vows seriously refuses and maintains her regular prayer cycle and duties.
Alina's outbursts and actions are a direct affront to the Community and especially to the Priest who is not used to disobedient females and has other issues as his ongoing battle to have the area bishop consecrate the church.
Alina is sent to a hospital in town due to her repeated actions. She is treated for a while and then released. She returns to the home of her foster parents who also report that they have no room to take her back in. Now out of options she returns the monastery which seals her fate.
To state that Mungiu's shooting style for the film is minimalistic would be an understatement. Most scenes are single camera and very long takes. The mood is set using the monastery itself and the fact that the film takes place during the winter months adds to the barren cut off from the modern world feel of the piece.
The old world views of the Priest leads his thoughts and those of his nuns to an attempt to read to Alina in an attempt to help her. Reading in the Orthodox faith is synonymous with performing an exorcism. The reason for Alina violence and actions must be due to the fact that she is possessed by a demon. Thus Alina is restrained and brought into the church each day to be read to. Her restraints are not removed in between sessions which leads to tragic consequences.
A riveting watch Beyond the Hills recounts a tale of old world values and how the holders react when faced with the modern world. Mungiu also gives a powerful message on how group think can easily lapse into cult like activities which makes it hard for an individual to step back to evaluate if the path being taken makes sense and is the best course of action.
Definitely a Top 5 Film of 2012
**** out of 4
Beyond the Hills | Christian Mungiu | 2012 | Romania/ France/ Belgium | 150 Minutes.

A healthy democracy relies on rational laws, equal justice, a sound economy, and responsible government. But the one thing that holds a democracy together is the people's trust.
Today, many elected leaders are betraying that trust. Untrue statements, groundless attacks, and devious politics are dividing our union and corrupting the principles that underpin a free society.
How do we protect ourselves and the nation from the harms of unscrupulous government? We get smart. We learn how our local, state, and federal governments work. We track the issues, gather the facts, and share them. We watch what our elected officials do and how their actions affect us on the Outer Banks. In short, we become well-informed citizens—capable of voting in the nation's and our own best interests. Maybe we even run for office ourselves.
The Dare County Democratic Party strives to protect the interests of our county, bridge the political divide among its people, and preserve the core values that have long sustained our community. Take a look at our platform, and see what we stand for. Then join us in the effort to turn the tide and rebuild the people's trust.

About Us
We believe in profits & purpose.
Farmers throughout developing economies remain trapped in poverty despite $6BN in aid spent each year over the past five decades to improve agricultural production and raise standards of living. This is due, in large part, to the disorganized and often antiquated agricultural value chains that persist across emerging markets. As a result, the individual farmer is often left without access to the information and inputs that are critical to improving their livelihoods. Without the right knowledge, labor, and equipment, farmers struggle to properly cultivate their land and plant on time, leading to underproduction and lost income
The Hello Tractor platform enables farmers to request affordable equipment inputs, while providing enhanced security to tractor owners through remote asset tracking and virtual monitoring. This value extends to all stakeholders in the mechanization ecosystem.
How We Work
A Unified Ecosystem.
Hello Tractor is an Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution that supports the improved efficiencies, profitability, and transparency in the tractor contracting market.
Our solution begins with a tractor monitoring device that can be installed on any tractor, connecting it to the Hello Tractor cloud. Once connected the device transmits relevant data across our ecosystem.
Who we work with:
- Tractor Owners
- Smallholder farmers
- Banks
- Dealers
White Papers
Protecting mission & margin.
Do you own a tractor (or fleet of tractors) and wonder how Hello Tractor can help you grow your business? Our commercial paper provides you with all the information you need to help you decide which of our offerings is most ideal for you.
Hello Tractor has been making a lot of positive change across the mechanization value chain in Africa. If you're interested in learning more about all the work we've been doing, our impact paper presents you with the information you need.

Sanitation and hygiene are key issues for women, consistent with their need for privacy, dignity and self-respect. When it comes to menstruation, despite the fact that despite this being a healthy biological process, the issue of menstruation is approached with hesitance and misinformation because of deeply–rooted cultural taboos. Honourable Minister of State, Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India.
The National Guidelines on Menstrual Hygiene Management was released by Honorable Minister of State, Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water and Sanitation, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, on December 22, 2015.
Positioned within the Swachh Bharat Mission, the National MHM Guidelines give a clear direction on the way forward on how to address every component of the issue ranging from, but not limited to, raising awareness, addressing behavior change, creating a demand for better hygiene products, capacity building of frontline community cadre, sensitization of key stakeholders, convergence needed for effective outreach and intervention, creation of WASH facilities including safe disposal options, etc.
The guideline is in three parts, the 'Main Guideline'; a series four 'Action Guides' that describe what each key stakeholder must do, why and how; and 'Technical Guides' for more technical aspects of the MHM programing.
The Main Guideline clearly gives an overview of the issue stating relevant facts and figures, defines a programming framework for MHM, and identifies the role of various departments and stakeholders.
The Action Guides and Technical Guides are to substantiate the vision laid down in the main guidelines. These outlines a roadmap for MHM programming, key actions for states and district bodies and various officials from the different line departments. The Technical Guides, in particular, provide specific inputs for creating an effective communication intervention, while also enabling the choice of the most suitable disposal option of menstrual waste, for the users and decision makers.
These guidelines represent an urgent call for a more integrated thought and actions, across departments, and also integrates experiences and learnings from various good practices across the country.

More than 650 Bay Area teens are getting a head start on lining up career choices.
Students on Friday met with representatives from companies and college programs at a computer science fair in San Francisco to get an idea of their next steps after high school.
"I really enjoyed the tech companies that were able to come out and talk to us about their careers and opportunities they have," said Renee Labutay, a senior at Hillsdale High School.
Labutay is looking for a four-year college program in computer science. She's not alone.
Each of the students have been taking computer science classes through Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS), a Microsoft-funded partnership with Bay Area campuses.
The program also features coding sessions to build video games and lectures on both the traditional and nontraditional careers students can choose from in computer science.
"It kind of opened my eyes a bit to learn that computer science is not just about coding," Hillsdale High student Kathy Li said. "We learned a lot about other careers that we can choose from."
Electronic Arts, Twitter, Carnegie Mellon University, and Google were among the 14 companies and college programs in attendance at the Mission Bay Conference Center at the University of California, San Francisco.

We are writing to you today on the matter of bluefin tuna.
First of all, we wish to congratulate you on the decision you made, on your first day as Commissioner, to end the deadlock within the European Commission and to throw your support behind the Monaco proposal for an Appendix 1 listing of bluefin on CITES. That was a courageous decision and we appreciated it very much.
In agreeing to finally support the Monacoproposal, all three institutions – the European Parliament, the Commission and the Council – had accepted the consequences, which included a moratorium on the export of bluefin tuna and a ban on fishing by industrial vessels (primarily purse seines).
We agree with you that the failure of the proposal was unfortunate – we would even use a stronger term, such as irresponsible for, as you and Commissioner Potočnik have said, "If action is not taken, there is a very serious danger that the bluefin tuna will no longer exist."
We cannot help but feel that, had the EU supported the Monaco proposal from the beginning, there is a very good chance that it would have been adopted at CITES, given the political influence that the EU would have been able to bear.
What does the Commission plan to do now in order to stem the crash of the eastern bluefin tuna stock?
In the run-up to CITES, the Japanese position was the responsibility for bluefin rests with ICCAT and that no body other than ICCAT has any role to play in conserving the species. Unfortunately, experience at ICCAT has clearly shown that that organisation is chronically incapable of adopting sufficiently restrictive fishery management measures to ensure the future of the stock and the fishery. The few tepid measures adopted at ICCAT in Recifewere accepted only because the threat of an Appendix 1 listing was hanging over the deliberations. With the CITES listing rejected, there is no guarantee that ICCAT will not revert to its old ways.
More specifically, Recommendation 09-06, adopted last year, committed ICCAT to, among other things:
3. The Commission shall establish at its 2010 meeting a three-year recovery plan for 2011-2013 with the goal of achieving BMSYthrough 2022 with at least 60% of probability, on a basis of the SCRS advice described in paragraph 2 above.
4. If the SCRS stock assessment detects a serious threat of fishery collapse, the Commission shall suspend all the fisheries for eastern Atlantic and Mediterraneanbluefin tuna in 2011.
Certain Member States are already making noises that this recommendation, a legally binding international commitment, should be relaxed.
What is your proposal to for a European position now? Surely, after accepting the consequences of an Appendix 1 listing, the Commission cannot simply return to the old way of doing things, of negotiating the lowest common denominator in ICCAT in an attempt to achieve consensus.
We urge you, and your colleague in DG ENVI, to maintain the position you adopted last month and to implement, on a unilateral basis, the consequences of an Appendix 1 listing, ie a ban on industrial fishing (such as by purse seines and possibly others) of bluefin tuna and on the export of tuna outside the territory of the EU.
The EU must act and act now, given that the international community has so miserably failed.

As many of you prepare for that last summer excursion or gather outdoors to celebrate Labor Day, Mosquito Squad of Southern New Hampshire reminds you that the dangers of tick-borne illness are still present. As we move into autumn ticks are still lurking and feeding, which means now is the time to remain steadfast in your tick control in order to reduce the risk of contracting a tick-borne illness such as Lyme Disease.
Mosquito Squad of Southern New Hampshire realizes the importance of utilizing a tick control and prevention program throughout the season to ensure full protection up until the time when ticks are no longer active in our region. Research indicates deer ticks that transmit Lyme disease remain on the prowl until temperatures dip well below 40 degrees, and can be found in leaf litter and other debris throughout the autumn still posing a health risk to residents of the Granite state. According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, people should take precautions to prevent being bitten by ticks and potentially exposed to Lyme disease or other illnesses. There were 1,301 cases of Lyme identified in the state in 2011 and 1,460 in 2012. Included in these numbers for last season were 429 confirmed and probable cases of Lyme disease in Hillsborough County in 2012 and 550 confirmed and probable cases of the disease in Rockingham County. These numbers indicate the probability of more Lyme Disease cases for 2013 is present.
The greatest risk for Lyme is between the months of May and August when the black-legged tick is in the juvenile stage; it's the size of a poppy-seed and very difficult to detect, so individuals may be unaware they have been bitten. All sizes of ticks can transmit disease and ticks that transmit Lyme can also transmit other diseases, such as Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis. Although not as common as Lyme, both diseases can also cause illness. Even adult deer ticks can be difficult to detect being smaller than other species of ticks. An adult deer tick is about the size of a sesame seed.
The best way to remain protected from the risks associated with ticks, even up into the fall, is our two-tiered tick control approach which utilizes the right tick control at the right time. This ensures that each life cycle of the tick is controlled within your treated area of property. Mosquito Squad of Southern New Hampshire targets the various stages of the tick's life cycle to gain the most control over these tiny terrors. Ticks have four stages of life which consist of egg, larva, nymph and adult. The way the tick feeds during each stage of its life cycle determines which tick control treatment works most effectively. The deer tick, for example, is highly prevalent in our region and is one of the ticks responsible for the transmission of Lyme disease. Deer ticks, once hatched, will hitch a ride via a field mouse back to the home of that mouse and will feed from the mouse and her young during the larval stage. Once the tick has fed from the mice, it then becomes a nymph. The tick will then find a secondary host to feed from such as a dog, a cat, a human or another mammal that leads the tick nearer our homes. The nymph tick is the most dangerous and likely to transmit Lyme disease. Nymph ticks in many cases have fed on the mice from the previous summer while still in the larval stages and are hungry once weather conditions are conducive for them to attack. Unfortunately, the tiny tick appears at the same time many homeowners are outside enjoying the outdoors. The third stage of the tick's life cycle is the adult stage. These ticks usually appear in the fall. The adult deer tick is still small in comparison to other tick species and can be hard detect and can still spread disease and illness. Taking precautions to control ticks from larva to adult will not only help control this season's ticks it will also bring the numbers down for next year's tick season as well.
Mosquito Squad of SoNH knows that timing and the use of combination tick control works best to control the tick in all life cycles. The best defense against ticks is using tick traps in conjunction with our barrier sprays. This is the best weapon to fight ticks for the entire season-nymph through adult. Tick traps work efficiently to kill the early staged ticks. The tick trap program we use includes small tubes placed strategically on your property that have treated cotton tucked inside. The field mice take the tubes' contents back to their nest and in doing so, kill the larval ticks that are residing there. These traps are lethal to ticks but safe for mammals such as mice, dogs, and people. Plus the mice get a little help in return "feathering" their nests. Using tick traps properly can reduce your risk of coming into contact with a tick on your property by up to 97%. Our highly effective barrier sprays kill ticks within your treated area during the later stages of the tick's maturity. Staying on a regular regimen of spraying throughout the season will reduce your risk of coming into contact with a tick.
We urge you to remain vigilant with your tick control and prevention practices as we move into the fall. Now is not the time to become complacent about the very real issue of tick-borne diseases. If you want to learn more about keeping the most important people in your life protected from the tick that could potentially give them Lyme disease, contact Mosquito Squad of Southern New Hampshire today.
