Stephen Njoroge and Epifania Martinez Top Tier Finalists for "Compassionate Caregivers" Category
By Jeremy Brooker
September 30th, 2013
The Senior Care Hero Awards' 3rd annual conference will be taking place this year on October 19th at the City National Grove of Anaheim, California. The Orange County organization, created to recognize and honor those who have played an integral part in providing the highest level of senior care to the Orange County community, has chosen two of Amada Senior Care's caregivers as finalists for the Compassionate Caregiver category of home care.
The finalists, Stephen Njoroge and Epifania Martinez, were chosen due to outstanding reports received by individuals they have provided care for, by various individuals in senior care, and by the Council of Advisors and the Academy of Leaders with Senior Care Hero Awards organization. They are two of 130 people nominated for senior care awards across such categories as compassionate caregiver, outstanding physician, outstanding nurse, outstanding social worker, and outstanding administrator, among others.
"We are fortunate to honor a group of people who are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the seniors they serve," said event chair Roseann Gonzalez. "These senior care professionals give so much selflessly with love and compassion. They are all heroes."
Amada Senior Care CEO Tafa Jefferson said Stephen and Epifania represent the heart of his organization, and epitomize the quality of care Amada has become known for. "They're truly some of our best caregivers, and we couldn't be more honored to see them recognized in this way. Our goal has always been to uphold this kind of reputation among the community we serve, and it is something we will continue to do."
According to SeniorServ CEO Holly Hagler, the nonprofit host of the event, the Senior Care Hero Awards have already made a name for itself among the Orange County senior care community. "This is the third year for the awards program and it has become the premier awards event in the senior care industry," said Hagler. "We are thrilled by the excitement in the community about recognizing the unsung heroes of senior care while also benefiting seniors in need."
Since 2007, San Clemente, California based company Amada Senior Care has enriched lives by providing compassionate non-medical in home care and by guiding families through the many senior housing options available for assisted living. Healthcare professionals and families look to Amada to help them navigate the complexities of the senior care system.

Bernie Sanders Endorses Cynthia Nixon's Allies in New York, But Not Her
Sanders is getting behind Nixon's running mate, lieutenant governor candidate Jumaane Williams, and the progressive state attorney general candidate who's running as a Nixon ally, Zephyr Teachout.
By Ben Mathis-Lilley
Leftist challengers, some using the Bernie Sanders-popularized term "democratic socialist" to describe themselves, have won a number of high-profile upsets in this year's Democratic primaries. One of the most high-profile leftist challengers of all is New York's Cynthia Nixon, the activist (and famous actress) who's running against incumbent governor Andrew Cuomo. As the son of a former governor himself and a frequent player in scandals involving corrupt corporate cash, Cuomo is the very epitome of the establishment Democrat, while Nixon has sought out and received the support of democratic socialists including the actual official Democratic Socialists of America group's New York City chapter.
Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, just released his endorsements for New York's statewide primary on Thursday—and while he's getting b ehind Nixon's running mate (lieutenant governor candidate Jumaane Williams) and the progressive state attorney general candidate who's running as a Nixon ally (Zephyr Teachout), he's not endorsing Nixon herself:

House set to begin on farm bill
At one level, these EWG and AEI papers provide a well of new data and are designed to be provocative so as to encourage lawmakers and the press to take a second look at the cost of farm programs. But as their influence has grown, critics argue that it has become a cottage industry and too often the hired-professors overstate at the expense of their academic discipline.
Paulson's paper illustrates some of the perils. His 15 percent drop is from a baseline for crop prices that runs below the Congressional Budget Office's numbers for corn and wheat. When compared with current markets, the disparity grows. So much, in fact, that the seemingly modest 15 percent price drop could be more than double what it appears.
For example, Paulson's baseline assumes a $5.40 per bushel price of wheat in 2014. That compares with $5.84 per bushel in CBO's baseline. And a June government report predicted wheat prices will range between $6.25 and $7.55 per bushel.
The pattern repeats itself in the case of corn. Paulson's baseline for 2014 is $4.10 per bushel. That's 8 percent less than CBO's number and compares with government projections of corn prices between $4.40 to $5.20 per bushel.
Paulson would argue that over time, these discrepancies narrow. But what gets lost in the discussion is how much these cost estimates are really a function of probability statistics.
CBO, for example, uses a technique known as "stochastic scoring" under which an expected or average crop price is set and then the likely distribution of prices around that mean is used to estimate costs. Those estimates take into account low probability events but also assign each a weight according to the likelihood of them occurring.
"There is nothing wrong with picking a low price and estimating a cost. It is a good way to scare people," said one veteran agriculture economist of the EWG report. "But it is not an expected value. It is a low probability event that does not take into account the counterbalancing effect of high price, equally low probability events."
Paulson was candid on this point when questioned by POLITICO. He said there is a less than "one-in-four" chance that corn prices will drop to a level where the new House program will cost taxpayers more than direct payments to those producers. And since his baseline consistently shows corn prices above the $3.70 per bushel target price in the House bill, Paulson said there is a better than 50 percent chance that the price-loss program will cost "zero dollars" when it comes to corn.

Anyone eat these? I've never tried one. Is it worth the P+ value? Are they really that filling - more so, than, say, a Quaker Low-Sugar Instant Oatmeal combined with an apple and 12 almonds?
Or, are they just good in case you're on the run and really can't sit there and eat the oatmeal, apple and almonds?

The Himalayan tsunami, as the Uttarakhand disaster is being called, has caused an immense amount of damage.
The death toll, according to the state's disaster management minister, Yashpal Arya, is estimated to have crossed 5,000.
Tens of thousands of people have lost homes and livelihood. The state's infrastructure has been devastated. The road and bridge network of four districts has been destroyed. The mobile network has been knocked out. The power sector has sustained severe damage.
It will take several years and plenty of investment to put the state back on its feet. If reconstruction proceeds in a haphazard manner, a recurrence of this calamity is likely. Other ecologically fragile hill regions must also study what happened and review their respective development trajectories to prevent similar events occurring elsewhere.
The national disaster management process also needs serious review and overhaul.
What, however, stands out amid this major calamity is the heroic efforts of the defence forces and allied services like the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the Border Roads Organisation, which did a commendable job, working round-the-clock in bad weather to carry out relief and rescue operations in difficult terrain at considerable risk to themselves.
The National Disaster Response Force's lack of resources, such as satellite phones and helicopters, made it less effective than had been envisaged.
As Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde admitted, a lack of co-ordination between various agencies hampered relief and rescue efforts. The India Meteorological Department, too, has claimed that it had issued specific warnings about heavy rains, while the state government has denied that it received any.
But evacuating over 80,000 people trapped in the affected areas in the last few days, in spite of the limited resources, poor infrastructure and inclement weather, is a commendable achievement.
Nevertheless, the lack of co-ordination is inexcusable, given India's vulnerability to floods, earthquakes, landslides, cyclones and tsunamis.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) was conceptualised as a one-stop agency to co-ordinate and oversee disaster management. But it clearly lacks the capacity to co-ordinate between the multiple agencies and ministries involved. The NDMA's brief needs urgent review, and probable disaster management scenarios need to be played out like war games.
The damage would have been much less if environmental norms had not been recklessly flouted across the state. Extensive deforestation contributed to the landslides. A CAG report says that three out of eight afforestation projects in Uttarakhand have not fulfilled targets.
Uttarakhand used to derive a large chunk of its revenues from tourism, specifically from religious tourism. In season, the population of key pilgrimage spots used to multiply. A large number of hotels, guest houses and roads were built to cater to these visitors.
Unfortunately, this development took place without any effort to minimise the environmental impact. Unlike at Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir, for example, there wasn't even any effort to track the number of tourists along the pilgrimage routes in Uttarakhand.
The state's failure to regulate such a large seasonal influx of tourists has in no small measure contributed to today's crisis and whatever infrastructure was there to handle the traffic has been wiped out.
Years of reconstruction will be required before the four shrines can be reopened for pilgrimage. It is to be hoped that the state government will now put master plans in place and pay heed to the ecological and environmental challenges while engaged in the task of renewal.

Salomon Chill Out Bib 2016 Review by A Better Ski
The Salomon Chill Out Bib is an insulated pant with solid waterproofing and breathability. This is a good pant for backcountry skiers in really cold locations, or for the resort skier that wants something more technical for in-bounds.
Salomon Chill Out Bib Ski Pant Review
Tester: Matt
Pant Size: M
Matt's Specs: Sizing Info
Waterproofing and Breathability: The Salomon Chill Out Bib has a 20k/20k AdvancedSkin Dry fabric that will do a pretty good job of keeping you dry from the indside and out. It's not quite on par with Gore-Tex, but our experience with AdvancedSkin has always been pretty positive. It's starting to get into the upper tier of waterproof and breathable fabrics. The Chill Out Bib would be good for those who are going to see wet weather, but maybe not every-day. Breathability is also good, but not great. These would be good for active resort skiers, and okay for backcountry skiers that are working hard to earn their turns.
Fit: The Salomon Chill Out Bib has a relaxed fit, but I have always found Salomon's outerwear tends to run a little smaller than others. For me, the medium fit almost perfect, and it was not overly loose or relaxed. The small fit's me as well, but feels more like an athletic fit than a relaxed fit. So if you like the loose freestyle type fit, go with the bigger size if you're in-between. The fit is very comfortable, and Salomon's stretch construction allows for good mobility.
Warmth: The Salomon Chill Out Bib is a moderately warm insulated pant. My legs almost never get cold, even with thin shells. So for me 60g of insulation is more than enough for the coldest days. However, if you do run cold, 60g is only a moderate amount of insulation, and you may need to layer underneath for the coldest days on the snow.
Features: I like the stretch construction and comfortable fit of the Salomon Chill Out Bib. It has a decent amount of waterproofing, along with fully sealed seems, and water-resistant zippers. It also has a decent amount of breathability, and outer vents for ventilation. Salomon does call this a bib, but really only the back comes up past the waist. I don't mind this, but it's not truly a bib in my opinion. This is removable for those who don't want it. The cargo pocket is placed really well and has a decent amount of room. There are also two hand pockets, and one back pocket. I'd like to see a few more pockets, but that's really just my preference since I bring a lot of gear on the snow with me.
Bottom Line: The Salomon Chill Out Bib is more of a standard insulated pant than a bib, but still very solid or resort skiers. It has decent waterproofing and breathability, and a very comfortable fit.

Birds abound in Western ballet; bluebirds, chickens, firebirds, pigeons and, of course most ubiquitously, swans. Now, thanks to an unusual artistic collaboration bridging East and West, we can add another to the list.
On Saturday, as it winds up a nine-city cross-Canada tour before continuing into the United States, Wuxi Song and Dance Theatre from the southern Chinese province of Jiangsu brings its dance-drama Red-Crowned Crane to Toronto.
The story, based on a real-life tragedy, spotlights the honoured place the rare and endangered bird occupies in Chinese culture and mythology. And while the dancers are from the Wuxi troupe and the orchestral/choral score is Chinese, the production is choreographed by Canada's Peter Quanz and features former Royal Winnipeg Ballet soloist Tristan Dobrowney as guest artist in one of two principal male lead roles.
Unlike the female lead, based on a real-life wildlife conservationist who was consumed in quicksand trying to save the red-crowned cranes she nurtured, Dobrowney's character is a fictional Canadian artist. Quanz names him Lawren in a nod to the celebrated Group of Seven painter.
He comes to China in search of inspiration and falls in love with the ornithologist, thus generating one of two romantic threads that run through the dance-drama. The other, as Quanz explains, is the woman's devotion to a particular red-crowned crane she rescues, a devotion with huge symbolic meaning for Chinese audiences.
"She is seen as a hero," explains Quanz, "because she died trying to save a symbol of China; she died to save her country."
Apart from leading his own Winnipeg-based company Q DANCE, Quanz, 37, has choreographed, among others, for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, National Ballet of Canada and Montreal's Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.
He's also no stranger to foreign commissions. In 2007, he became the first Canadian to make a work for St. Petersburg's illustrious Mariinsky Ballet and has received commissions from American Ballet Theatre, the National Ballet of Cuba and Britain's Royal Ballet.
In Asia, Quanz has worked in Hong Kong and Guangzhou and, in a sojourn he says proved useful when he arrived in Wuxi, spent three winter months in Siberia in 2011 working with the state ballet of the republic of Buryatia. It gave Quanz a chance to study North Asian ethnic dance, which he says bears some relation to the kind of movement vocabulary found in classical Chinese dance, a form distinct from Western classical ballet and itself an amalgam of folk and other dance influences.
"It's not ballet," Quanz emphasizes. "There's a different use of the arms, the turns are different, feet are often flexed and there are beautiful movements close to the ground. Classical Chinese dance is its own form and working in Wuxi has given me a whole new reservoir of movement to use in my other work."
But why Quanz in Wuxi? As far as anyone knows the troupe, situated in one of China's most ancient cities, is the first classical Chinese dance company to commission a foreign choreographer.
"I think they were actually looking for someone outside the tradition who could come to it from a foreign perspective," says Quanz. "My job was to find a new way of seeing it."
That, however, did not give him carte blanche.
"You have to listen to what people value in their culture," says Quanz. "You have to be very humble and respectful."
Clearly, the Wuxi troupe has taken to Quanz. He'll be returning for a second commission. Meanwhile, Guangzhou Ballet is hoping to bring an all-Quanz program to Canada a year from now.
In Chinese mythology, the long-lived red-crowned crane is a symbol of good fortune. It seems to be working for Quanz in far-off lands.
Red-Crowned Crane is at the John Bassett Theatre, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 255 Front St W. on Nov. 19. See ticketfly.com for tickets.

RELATED: If Your Partner Has a Curved Penis, Here's What You Need to Know About Peyronie's Disease
This is an inflammation or infection of the prostate gland that can cause swelling and pain in the area behind your penis (just below your bladder), pain or burning when urinating, and painful ejaculation.
Urinary tract infections
You'll want to treat one of these anyway, because they can spread and become very serious. Yeast infections These are sometimes characterized by itching or burning at the tip of the penis.
Allergies and sensitivity to chemicals or soaps can cause an inflammation of the skin on the penis, especially for men who are uncircumcised.
More about men's sexual pain
If you have genital herpes, a sore on your penis can make for very painful sex; it's better for the healing process to refrain from sex in any case. Also, such sores are extremely infectious.
These scaly, red patches may be treated with low-potency steroid creams and are not infectious.
In this condition, the foreskin is too tight to be completely retracted over the head of the penis.
The foreskin is stuck behind the head of the penis and can't be pulled forward.

Our History
Here at GI-RO Dry Cleaners, we have a lot to celebrate this year! It is our 62 year in business, spanning across three generations of owners. GI-RO was opened in 1955 by Anthony and Angela Giansante at a small location at 67 Locust Street in downtown Lockport. Back in those days, customers could just leave their clothes and money on the counter if no one was around to wait on them! As Anthony and Angela's family grew to nine children, the business was growing too, with everyone's help. Their son, David, remained the one with a life-long passion for the dry cleaning business. David, his wife Stacy and three of their children—Anthony Giansante, Sarah DeFlippo, and Jennifer Giansante—now own and manage GI-RO Dry Cleaners.
Today, we employ a staff of over 50 people, and each employee adds unique value to our company. We offer a wide range of services to meet all of our customers' needs. While we specialize in dry cleaning and commercial shirt laundry, we also offer other various cleaning services including suede and leather, area rugs, drapery, and bedding. Additionally, we offer wedding gown cleaning and preservation services. We also offer alteration and repair services done by our experienced seamstresses on site at five of our seven store locations. Our seamstresses are available for fittings and to answer any customers' questions regarding alterations.
Today GI-RO now serves the neighborhoods of East Amherst, Clarence, Clarence Center, Williamsville and Amherst. We also offer a free pickup and delivery service which allows us to reach an even broader market by servicing locations where our satellite stores are not present. We'll save you the time and hassle of stopping at the dry cleaners every week. Our driver will come right to your door to pick up and deliver your clothes back, ready to wear, three days later.
As today's consumers become increasingly environmentally conscious, GI-RO has committed itself to offering an environmentally friendly service to its customers. In 2017, GI-RO proudly launched its Green Leaf Initiative. Click here to learn more about our Green Leaf and how we are committed to eliminating waste and using safer products while still offering our customers the highest quality dry cleaning services available.
We are committed to staying up to date with the most advanced technology in the industry. We currently use the Metalprogetti assembly conveyor which has revolutionized the way we manage customer garments. The operational change begins at the time when the customers' garments are dropped off at GI-RO. All garments are detailed with a bar coded label, which allows us to easily track each item, increasing efficiency and accuracy throughout the entire operational process. Using our customer portal page on our website, www.girodrycleaners.com, customers can view their order status and will be notified via email as soon as their order is complete!
We are residents and business people, and as a family-run business, we realize how important it is to give back to the community. GI-RO proudly supports several local organizations including Coats4Kids, Toys for Tots, Veterans of Buffalo, Erie and Niagara County Thank a Vet Program and St. Johns Outreach Center.
From our humble beginning, we are proud to continue to serve Western New York 63 years later. Here at GI-RO, we know you have many choices when choosing a dry cleaner. We are proud to be one of largest family owned and operated dry cleaners in the area. Our number one priority is to provide the highest quality dry cleaning and shirt laundry service with the best customer service around. As always with GI-RO, "You'll Notice the Difference!"

We are working to restore the "Healing Garden" in the park. It was designed and put in place 20 years ago as a place the local people could come and heal by relaxing in natural surroundings. We started last winter by taking our a multitude of small ash trees and an even bigger multitude of brambles. Over the summer we rolled and cut back a large swathe of ivy and have replanted some species around a dilapidated bench (also the subject of a fundraising appeal for replacement). This autumn we have planted spring bulbs - native species only. But that's not enough. The design of the garden is modelled on a snake's coil. Inside the coil there is mounded earth with planting retained by a log fence. The fence posts have rotted in many places and fallen away. If they are not replaced soon the fundamental structure of the garden will collapse. That's why were are ecstatic to have funding from The Greggs Foundation to replace the wall. Plans are being made now. It's a tricky job as originally the log fence was put in first and then the earth monded up inside the retaining wall. We have to somehow replace the wall without triggering collapse! Wish us luck.
Project Dirt has now become Semble.

Terrible accident took place in Botanica sector of Capital. Man and woman died (Terrifying images)
A terrible accident took place in Botanica sector of the Capital. Three cars violently hit. The accident was caused by excessive speed.
The driver who died wanted to bypass another car, but it violently hit a pylon.
"It was foggy, then it was snowing. All I can say it that somebody won't get home today", said one of the drivers.
"I was driving normally, then the driver of BMW X5 wanted to bypass the Golf car and it hit me", said another driver.
Besides the two persons who died, in the car that was driving on the opposite sense there was a 28 year old man. He was wounded and transported to the hospital.

When a bolt is placed into an extremely hard surface, it may require a bolt sleeve for protection. This sleeve is designed to support the bolt with an outer metal shell casing, while providing a threaded surface for tightening purposes. This type of sleeve is typically used in concrete and brick, which do not support drilling with a threaded bolt.
Bolt sleeves are often used for many deck installations. When a deck is mounted to a concrete or cinderblock building, it must be connected with a bolt sleeve. This bolt is drilled into the concrete wall and provides a method for attaching the mounting boards of the deck.
Anchor bolts are also used for installing deck footers. The footers are the primary structure device for supporting the deck joist to the ground. Most deck footers are attached to concrete with special J-bolt sleeves. These bolts secure the deck posts into the concrete foundation.
The bolt sleeve is typically used for applications that require drilling in concrete or stone material. A good example of this is a pool cover over a concrete surface. The anchored bolts are used to secure the pool cover tight over the concrete area.
An expansion bolt sleeve is a special sleeve that expands when the bolt is tightened. This design is similar to a picture frame wall mounting screw. When the bolt is tightened, the outer sleeve expands into the drilled surface.
Rock climbers use special climbing bolts with an expansion mechanism. These rock climbing bolts have a collapsing sleeve that can be placed into small cracks within rocks. The bolt sleeve expands to ensure the bolt will not disengage with heavy weight. These climbing bolts are designed to support the mountain climber in the event of a fall.
Stone bolts are special bolt sleeves that are used for securing stone structures. This bolt sleeve is typically used in excavation and mining. It can be attached to a mesh fence to support the rock structure and catch falling material.
Anchor bolts are available with many head designs. These include hex, nut, and screw head designs. The head design typically depends on the implementation desired. Nut designs are stronger, but have a protruding head after tightening.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Even after all that schooling, I still chose to stay in the field of education. My feeling is that learning how to learn is the most powerful tool that I can give my students. I want my students to appreciate learning and be excited about the learning process. I look forward to a great year of discovery together.

CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH, England and MILPITAS, California, August 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Peakdale Molecular Ltd (CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH, UK) a leading provider in specialist chemistry services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, and ChemPrintCo LLC (MILPITAS, CA, USA), a unique and cost-effective provider of products and systems for the biotechnology industry, today announce the launch of AssayReady4U(TM).
AssayReady4U(TM) is an online based storefront which allows drug discovery researchers the ability to search, design and select compounds from a live physical collection of screening compounds. Then, using additional options, build their final assay by selecting the exact amount and concentration required to perform their own unique experiments.
The final customer-selected compounds are cleanly and accurately dispensed into SBS standard well plates of the customer's choosing using ChemPrintCo's sophisticated and proprietary hydro-acoustic technologies. Each AssayReady4U plate is sealed in an argon environment and then vacuum-sealed in a moisture barrier bag and placed inside a temperature-controlled pack for shipment. All orders are shipped from stock within 24 hours of completion using a commercial carrier. Upon receipt, the customer adds an appropriate amount of solvent to reach the desired test concentration.
Peakdale's collection is fundamentally rich in novel, GPCR-targeted compounds. All compounds in the collection are selected for their applicability to GPCR research. Well-recognized ligand features are combined with proprietary scaffolds and monomers to produce a set of screening compounds for GPCR hit discovery.
Glenn Killingworth, Director of Business Development at Peakdale said: "I am excited that we have built this collaboration in order to reach the smaller drug-research groups who don't want to build assets to store, handle and plate compounds, but just want to receive ready-to-screen assays from a high quality collection, in exactly the format that they need to perform their drug discovery work."
Peakdale's Director of Technology Paul Doyle said: "This represents an exciting new technology that allows a much broader base of researchers to access the world of diverse compounds in a cost effective manner."
Adding to this, ChemPrintCo's Vice President of Sales Ron Jones said: "The AssayReady4U(TM) products will be offered via an innovative web-based one-stop shopping storefront. The researchers will effortlessly select compounds, assay test concentration, plate format, plate manufacturer and controls with a few clicks of a mouse thus optimizing their valuable time for research."

Trusting and verifying the devil you know…
"Trust but verify" is a phrase being tossed around a lot in the last week. It makes you wonder whether Ronald Reagan was paranoid when he said it or was it said in a moment of (rare) clarity. Either way, President Barack Obama has decided, that what started as a toss-away idea from Secretary of State John Kerry, is the new(est) American policy towards Syria. The question is, "why?" Was this the grand plan all along or simply a lucky "out" for the president to avoid taking military action and/or losing a vote in Congress?
By reaching an agreement with the current Syrian government, isn't the president going back on his policy of getting rid of Bashar al-Assad? Yes and no. And here is where it begins to get strategically complex. There are a number of large factors at play.
In a recent interview, former CIA deputy director Mike Morrell said that the only way the Syrian civil war ends is through a negotiated settlement that includes al-Assad stepping down. Morrell went on to say that there are two possible outcomes to a military end to the conflict: (1) a stronger, more brutal Assad regime or (2) a rebel government influenced by radical elements such as al Qaeda. Either one would be disastrous for the region specifically and the world in general.
Morrell made another interesting point when he said that the fall of the central Syrian government could lead to sectarian rule similar to what has filled the void of centralized government in Afghanistan and Iraq. He suggested that the only way to ensure that the extreme elements of the rebel forces do not take control of an Assad-less Syria, or that Syria becomes a safe haven for extremists, is to have a negotiated settlement where the Syrian military and government infrastructure can be used to rid the new government of their influence. Evidently, the rebel forces are not particularly big fans of the extremists but the "two groups that are in some way affiliated with al Qaeda — al-Nusra and then Ahrar ash-Sham — are the two most effective organizations on the battlefield. And because they're so good at fighting the Syrians some of the moderate members of the opposition joined forces with them to fight the Syrians."
If President Obama believes Assad is the devil he knows and therefore better than the one he doesn't, reaching an accord with him at some point was necessary. The president has not backed down from his goal to get rid of Assad, but he has recognized he needs the Assad government and military to ensure a negotiated settlement doesn't lead to chaos.
While it seems that Vladimir Putin has decided to keep the Cold War going, his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, has been looking to take advantage of the American offer to "reset" relations. Lavrov cannot be pleased with China's rise a global power-broker and America's "pivot" towards Asia. He wants to establish Russia's role in the world as the balance to U.S. power and an outlook "which favors state sovereignty and status quo stability over the spread of Western-style democracy." Perhaps Russia's reemergence as power broker will help in getting Iran to cease their nuclear weapons program.
I, for one, do not fully buy the idea that the reason the Syrians were willing to admit to having chemical weapons and seek a negotiated agreement was because of the threat of American force. Nor do I believe that the Russians were the deciding factor either. Assad, like all dictators has one desire – to remain in power. It's why he hasn't attacked Israel. He knows as soon as his troops cross the border, Bibi won't hesitate for a moment to send a missile into Assad's bedroom. He won't seek American approval or U.N. approval he'll just call for the strike and be done with it. Good ol' Basher bought himself a few more weeks/months/years in the palace.
No one should doubt President Obama may still use force, in fact, should the Syrians not uphold their end of the deal the president will have far more justification and support to launch an attack. This president is all too aware of America's role and responsibility in the world and he won't hesitate to use force to enforce international norms.
"America doesn't do pin-pricks," the president has said over and over. While this agreement buys Assad time and buys Obama time to find another way to get rid of Assad, it's not a fix to the problem. It *may* prevent the use of chemical weapons and deter others from using them, but in the end the world needs to look at Obama's record and his willingness to use force to protect America and its allies (drone strikes, Bin Laden raid, new approach to Afghanistan, etc) as the only proof the other "trouble makers", as former President Bush dubbed them, should need that President Obama means business.

Every time I'd aim and zoom, they'd take off. So I had to settle for a few pix of the veggie garden. They were more cooperative subjects.

rubberband powered vehicle
As a kid I was always been fascinated with building blocks. A nostalgic toy for me was the rubber band car, that most of us made with rubber bands, pencils, and hot glue.
Arielastic is a project that sprung from my interest with soapbox derbies and rubber band cars. Its design marries together two intriguing hobbies. My goal was to create a vehicle that users can build and destroy as desired - where he or she has the freedom to shape and control the speed by simply adjusting the amount of rubber bands or bungee cords used.

It is famous across Northern Ireland for its Poor Bear honeycomb ice cream – but now Mauds Ice Cream has won a national award for its coffee flavoured variety.
The business, which is based in Carrickfergus and is Northern Ireland's biggest producer of dairy ice cream, was founded by Carnmoney businessman John Wilson, who named it after his mother Maud as a Mother's Day gift.
It has won many awards over the years, often for its popular Poor Bear product, but now its coffee ice cream has picked up a trophy in the 2019 National Ice Cream Competition, run by the Ice Cream Alliance, the trade body for the UK's £1bn ice cream industry.
Director David Wilson said he was 'over the moon' about its success.
"Competition is so incredibly tight at this level. I mean, staggeringly high," he said.
"There are producers entering these competitions who have been mastering their craft over years and, like us, the expertise gets handed down through generation to generation as a family business and is refined as the years go on. To come away with a first place position is outstanding.
"We have been entering for about 35 years now and have been fortunate enough to have seen success a few times, even champion of champions on occasion, but every year it gets tougher, however, that's a good thing, it keeps us on our toes!"
He said the winning ice cream was a 'pure coffee' flavour, closest to an espresso coffee drink.
Zelica Carr, Chief Executive Officer of The Ice Cream Alliance, said: "Well done to Mauds for its success in a tough contest against competition from across the UK."
For more information, call David Wilson on 0289 3329988 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Great gifts for fast women
Still searching for just the right gift for the runners in your life? Or perhaps looking to reward yourself? We're here to help. We've put together a list of great gifts for women runners. These are five of my favorite things from the list:
The Essential Run Jacket is just that — essential. It's a lightweight, water-resistant jacket with front-to-back retroreflectivity. John "the Penguin" Bingham chose this jacket as one of three things he wanted for Christmas. Sure, he chose the NightLife color for added visibility, but this "Glacial Water/Blue Ice" color will look hot even on a cold day.
I wish you could feel this top for yourselves — it's silky soft — but still has great moisture-wicking properties to keep you dry and comfortable. The picture shows my favorite color of the season — Winter Plum — but it's also available in Blue Ice and Winter Poppy, a gorgeous red.
The Epiphany Stretch Short II is our most popular short — and it's available in a range of colors, including this Black/Winter Poppy look. Breathable mesh paneling will keep you cool whether you're sweating through miles on a treadmill or you live somewhere that isn't expecting a ton of snow this winter.
The Adrenaline GTS 11 is our most popular shoe. I've highlighted the white and blue option, but I personally run in the all-black color. I love the blend of cushioning and support in this shoe — all part of the addition of patent-pending Brooks DNA!
Finally, I'm the kind of runner who gets a bit cold, but I don't like running in hats. This Infiniti Headband has been an ear-saver on more than one occasion. It's also got a bit of retroreflectivity to keep you more visible on these short days.
Check out our complete list of gift ideas for women, as well as our list of gift ideas for men — and happy holidays from all of us at Brooks!

Global Initiatives
Global Volunteer Month
Since 2006, we have designated the month of June as "Global Volunteer Month" during which a variety of community service events are held around the world. With a goal for every employee to dedicate at least one hour of volunteering time, this effort has been achieving record-high results every year.
Annual Appeal
The Firm's annual charity appeal, one of the largest fundraising campaigns organized in Tokyo, started in 2003. With employees' donations and the Firm's matching gift, Morgan Stanley continues to support charity organizations in the community for a range of worthy causes.
Japan Core Charities
Children's Cancer Association of Japan
Childhood cancer remains the number one cause of death by disease in children, and 500 lives are lost every year. As one of the core supporting charities of Morgan Stanley in Japan to help address children's health and educational issues, Tokyo employees have been collaborating with the Children's Cancer Association of Japan (CCAJ) for a number of projects including "Children's Painting Exhibition" and their Awareness Talk sessions. In addition, employees have been supporting CCAJ's "Gold Ribbon" project by packaging 5,000 ribbons to help raise funds for childhood cancer survivors.
Little Olive Child Foundation
Morgan Stanley in Japan supports Little Olive Child Foundation, which serves the neediest of children living with hardships, including incurable diseases, physical handicaps or the after-effects of natural disasters. Since 2011, employees have been supporting their activities in disaster-hit regions in Tohoku and Kumamoto with fundraising and volunteering. Most recently, a group of volunteers made a number of trips to the sites to help build safe indoor playrooms as well as café facilities for children in the affected areas.
NPO Katariba
The Tokyo office supports NPO Katariba, an organization focused on "giving power to children and students so that they can thrive." Since 2017 employees have made trips to the Tohoku region to help Katariba's afterschool program "Collabo School" in the tsunami affected communities, providing on-site English conversation classes for junior high school students. Volunteers have also supported the NPO's nutrition and education programs for children of low-income families in Tokyo.
Employee Engagement
Financial Industry in Tokyo (FIT) for Charity Run
Morgan Stanley is a founding member of the FIT for Charity Run's organizing committee, and has been an active sponsor of the event since its inception in 2005. The event is an annual charity marathon organized by institutions in the financial industry in Tokyo. Many of our employees, families and friends take part in the event as runners and volunteers to make a difference in the community. In 2018, the event raised approximately JPY58 million with participation from 105 financial companies, to support eight local charities in Japan.
Tsumiki Project
To mark the 5th anniversary of the Japanese securities joint venture, in 2015, we started a new volunteering initiative with our partner Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities. The Tsumiki Project helps bring smiles to children in the Tohoku region by sending them handmade wooden blocks (tsumiki). Volunteers from both companies filed wood pieces made of recycled timbers from forest thinning, to make pieces that children can play with safely. A total of 3,000 pieces of tsumiki were donated to 9 kindergartens in Fukushima through NPO The Life style Research Institute of Forests.
Holiday Card Project
Japan employees have been supporting the project organized by NPO Wonder Art Production since 2012. Each year, nearly 100 employees and family members join hands in making original handwritten greeting cards for children who will be spending their holidays in hospitals. A total of over 600 heartwarming cards have been delivered to children across the country, in hopes to bring holiday cheers to children.
Reforestation Project
Morgan Stanley and its Japanese securities joint venture partner Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities have been jointly supporting a reforestation project to restore the coastal forest in Chiba, which was destroyed by the tsunami. The coastal forest is important as it protects the local community from the impact of seaside winds and flooding. Since April 2012, both companies have been participating in the reforestation volunteering organized by NPO The Life style Research Institute of Forests. A total of over 220 employees and family members have made five visits to the affected area since then, joining hands in planting pine tree seedlings in the spring and removing overgrown weeds in the summer to help grow the seedlings.

As we know that, all types of games are designed by featuring the virtual currency. If we talk about the IMVU then you can see different types of currency in it. The currency is playing an important role on the platform. Without the currency, the players are not able to perform activities properly. Consequently, they cannot get entertainment in a perfect way. Following are the types of currency.
- Credits
- Promotional credits
- Developer tokens
The individuals those want to get proper entertainment and do progress, they should gather funds quickly. For different types of activities different type of currency can be used. You are not able to perform all activities with the use of a single kind of currency by trying IMVU Hack 2020. The upcoming details can help you in getting complete knowledge related to the funds.
Details related to the credits
The credits are the main currency of the platform. It is also considered as the common currency. In most of the activities, the players can see the use or existence of credits. In the game, the appearance of character is one of the important factors. All players are trying to provider better look to the AVATAR. It becomes possible if the players have a big amount of credits in the account.
The collection of credits is completely based on the players' efforts. The players are able to perform numerous other types of activities by considering its way. The players those have a good amount of credits they can also consider it for earning real money.
Let's introduced to promotion credits
The second and important currency type of the platform is promotion credits. On the platform, it is also considered with different types of names such as – predits and promo-credits. The use of promotional credits is not simple as the use of credits. It is tagged with different types of limitations or restrictions. With it, the way of gathering funds also become completely different.
The players are not able to take help from promotional credit at each and every place. For it, the players are required to focus on different types of things. The most important thing about it is that, the players cannot do a trade of predits as they can do with credits.
What about developer tokens?
The developer tokens are working as the premium currency. With its use, the players are able to access the services of some premium features. If we pay attention to its collection process then it is quite complicated. The collection of developer tokens is completely based on the predits. As more promotional credits spend by the players, a higher amount of developer tokens is credited to the account.
When you pay promotional credits for any type of custom item at that time an amount of tokens is added. Here some players get confused and think that they can perform similar activities with the help of credits. It is not possible. For the collection of developer tokens, the players need to spend predits or real money.

It's time for some Earth Day fun! There are many activities you can do as a family if you want to recognize this special day and talk about ways we can take responsibility for the way we treat our planet. But it doesn't mean everything has to be a teaching moment. In fact, I see Earth Day as a great excuse to unplug and just enjoy each other!
5 Ways to Enjoy Earth Day Fun with Your Family
Have a Picnic! Need lunch plans? Why not pack up some sandwiches and head outdoors for a picnic lunch? I want to do this with the boys soon because we finally have some beautiful weather!
Feed the birds (or build a feeder) This weekend, Jerry and Oscar refilled all our birdfeeders. We love bird watching and now that Spring is here, we want them to hang out close by. Don't have a bird house? You can make one! Calvin brought home this super simple craft from school the other day.
Take an empty, clean soup can and glue a straw to the inside. Let your child decorate the can and fill with seeds. Attach a ribbon to the can and hang from a tree branch.
Turn off all the lights/screens for one hour After dinner tonight, why not turn every light and screen off for one hour and see what happens? You'll save a little electricity and have a chance to connect! What will you do? Tell stories? Sing songs together? Make smores by candlelight? Time to get creative!
Go see Disneynature BEARS When we last visited Disneyland, we were treated to a screening of the Disneynature movie BEARS and let me tell you, it was awesome!
Not only was the imagery stunning, but the story of a mama bear and her two cubs in their first year of life was heartwarming. It's a great family movie and if you are looking to get out of the house, a lovely way to enjoy an evening together. If you've already seen the movie, print out some of these free activities and do them together!
Download the (free) Be Out There ebook! I had the privilege of co-writing this fantastic resource for getting families outside while the good weather lasts. I was among some really creative other bloggers and we partnered with the National Wildlife Federation to create this beautiful and FREE ebook full of fun ideas. Download it here.
Do you have plans for Earth Day? Share them in the comments and let's help each other celebrate!

SEP renews its support of YPI Scotland
Scottish Equity Partners (SEP) is delighted to announce that it has renewed its support of the Youth & Philanthropy Initiative (YPI Scotland) across Glasgow. Through YPI, an active citizenship programme, young people from across a whole school year group, work in small teams to actively research and understand the big social issues that affect their local community. In each school the programme culminates with a grand final where the best teams compete against one another to secure a £3000 Grant for their chosen local charity.
Originating in Canada, YPI is now an international programme and, in 2018/19, is being delivered in 256 secondary schools across Scotland. To date, YPI Scotland has engaged more than 140,000 students, providing them with the essential skills and confidence to grant over £3.2 million to hundreds of local charities. The programme is principally funded and managed in Scotland by The Wood Foundation.

I will never understand why the DCU doesn't release some of their animated films into the theater, at least for limited engagements. I mean usually their stuff blows away a lot of the major studio releases. Looks like they are going to test the waters this summer with a one time showing Batman: The Killing Joke.

Experts ask NSG to reject India-specific draft
Non-proliferation specialists and NGOs question that India's commitments under the current terms do not justify making far-reaching exceptions to international non-proliferation rules.world Updated: Aug 16, 2008 10:28 IST
Non-proliferation specialists and non-government organisations have asked the Foreign Ministers of the Nuclear Suppliers Group to reject the US proposal to exempt India from long-standing global nuclear trade standards.
Over 150 non-proliferation specialists and NGOs, from around two-dozen countries, in letter to the Foreign Ministers of the NSG said: "India's commitments under the current terms of the proposed arrangement do not justify making far-reaching exceptions to international non-proliferation rules and norms."
The 45-member nations of NSG is scheduled to meet next week in Vienna to discuss the US proposal to relax NSG restrictions on trade with states, such as India, that refuse to allow comprehensive international nuclear safeguards.
The letter has been flagged by the Arms Control Association which has opposed the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal from the very beginning.
ACA Executive Director Daryl Kimball has said that opposition to the India exemption is expected from several members of the NSG.
"Unlike 178 other countries, India has not signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). It continues to produce fissile material and expand its nuclear arsenal. As one of only three states never to have signed the nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), it has not made a legally- binding commitment to achieve nuclear disarmament," it said.
The experts and the NGOs noted that the arrangement would give India the rights and privileges of civil nuclear trade that have been reserved only for members in good standing under the NPT.
"It will create a dangerous distinction between 'good' proliferators and 'bad' proliferators and sends out misleading signals to the international community with regard to NPT norms," the letter said.
The signatories have warned that in the absence of a suspension of fissile material production for weapons by India "foreign nuclear fuel supplies would free up India's relatively limited domestic supplies to be used exclusively in its military nuclear sector, thereby indirectly contributing to the potential expansion of India's nuclear arsenal."
The NSG has been asked to "support measures that would avert further damage to the already beleaguered global non-proliferation and disarmament regime."
The signatories have said that if the NSG allows nuclear trade with India, then they should establish meaningful conditions and restrictions on it.
The conditions should include terminating nuclear trade with India if it resumes testing; prohibiting any transfer of sensitive plutonium reprocessing, uranium enrichment, or heavy water production items to India, which can be used to make bomb material; before India is granted a waiver from the NSG's full-scope safeguards standard.
Also India should join the other original nuclear weapon states by declaring it has stopped fissile material production for weapons purposes and transform its nuclear test moratorium into a meaningful, legally-binding commitment.
"If nuclear testing is to be deterred, meaningful penalties must be available. If NSG states do agree to supply fuel for India's 'civilian' nuclear sector, they must avoid arrangements that would enable or encourage future nuclear testing by India. Otherwise, you and your government may become complicit in the facilitation of a new round of destabilising nuclear tests," the letter has said.

The dollar plunged below 100 yen Thursday for the first time in more than a decade and hit a record low against the euro as worries deepened on Wall Street that the United States had entered a recession.
The dollar approached parity with the Swiss franc for the first time ever, gold hit an all-time high and data showing a surprise drop in U.S. retail sales heightened concern that American consumers were cutting back on spending.
"We are seeing tremendous pressure on the dollar, and if you look at the reasons why the dollar is so unpopular, it's very difficult to see any of those factors changing in the next few months," said Mike Moran, currency strategist at Standard Chartered in New York.
The dollar fell to 99.77 yen, its lowest level since 1995 before easing slightly late in the morning in New York.
So far this year, the dollar has lost nearly 10 percent against the Japanese currency, and the dip below 100 has stirred fear that Japan could intervene to cap yen gains that threaten to cut into corporate profits.
Some traders said that was unlikely as long as the dollar remained above 90 yen, but Moran warned that "we are certainly going to see much louder chatter from various central banks about currencies."
The euro hit a fresh lifetime high at $1.5624 before easing and the dollar fell slightly versus the Swiss francs after plumbing a record low of 1.0047 francs.
"We are certainly in an environment of dollar weakness and even at these levels, dollar buyers can not be found," said Camilla Sutton, currency strategist at Scotia Capital in Toronto.
Fears that a Carlyle Capital Corp bond fund was near collapse after defaulting on $16.6 billion of debt unnerved investors by refocusing attention on worsening credit market turmoil.
And a surprise 0.6 percent decline in U.S. retail sales data stoked recession fears even further by suggesting that U.S. consumers were starting to put their wallets away.
"The slowdown that we know is happening in the banks has manifested itself on Main Street. These economic numbers are going to get much worse," said Joe Francomano, vice president for foreign exchange at Erste Bank in New York.
Fed Cuts Likely, Intervention Less So
The dollar's swoon came two days after the Federal Reserve said it would lend dealers $200 billion in Treasury securities and accept a wider array of mortgage debt as collateral.
But the initial euphoria that met the Fed's attempt to loosen up credit markets has faded, with stocks turning lower and investors bracing for more interest rate cuts at the Fed's March 18 meeting.
The Fed has cut rates to 3 percent since September, while euro zone rates have held rates firm at 4 percent.
ECB officials have expressed concern about excessive exchange rate moves, but some market participants say Japan may be more likely to take active measures to stem the moves.
Japan has a long history of intervening in currency markets but has not done so since 2004, when the economy began pulling out of a decade-long deflationary slump.
However, David Powell, a currency strategist at IDEAglobal, said there is "little global will for intervention" and added that "unilateral moves in Japan are not going to be very effective."
Doing so would also be politically difficult for Tokyo at a time when G7 officials are pressuring China to let the yuan float freely, he said, adding it would take a dollar decline to 90 yen before intervention was seriously considered.
Japanese officials, including Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, have said excessive foreign exchange moves were undesirable, though Finance Minister Fukushiro Nukaga added that the latest moves reflected dollar weakness rather than yen strength.

I want to make sure that I convey my deep appreciation for your thinking of me enough to write me. At present, the doctor feels my situation is progressing as expected. Because of my deep faith based on decades of study, I am not worried. When I was a child with a muscular disease, I saw many other children with rare and more critical situations than mine actually dying. At a very young age I determined that if I lived just one day more than they did, I'd be grateful. In truth, I have lived 5 decades longer than those that died in their first decade of life. (I'm now in my 60's)
For the "here and now," even though I've endured many health, financial and general life setbacks, I don't view myself as having been denied a relatively good life. While working for AT&T, I got to travel the world, meet many people (which to me is the 2nd best part of life), come to understand God and the Bible more than most people (the numero uno best part), have a brain that loves drinking in knowledge (I read a lot about technology, the sciences, and of course the Bible).
So while so many kind-hearted people have expressed authentic concern, I'm not worried. As far as I'm concerned, I've lived much more than my life expectancy. If I were to die tomorrow, which I don't plan on, I would not have any regrets. I wouldn't be whining, "I wish I had done this or that."
Then, finally, there is the hope of being brought back to life on earth, but without all the problems plaguing us today as promised here.
I have been offering those that reach out to me, to answer any questions they have about God or the Bible. Questions for which they may never have found an answer. Now, I don't claim to be a genius, and I readily admit my brain is slowing down, but I know how to research. So if it takes me a few days, you can still be sure I will answer your question. I want nothing in return except to help you and others find the peace I have found. Again, I'm not talking about some emotion-filled feeling. I'm talking about using the brain our Creator gave us to understand just how sensible his ways are.
Besides the online references, I have a collection of some 18 Bible translations and a few Hebrew and Greek language reference books. Feel free to contact me.

Retail therapy draws tenants to suburban Class A product
Shopping on your lunch hour never gets old. Especially in the suburbs, where the live/work/play perks of urban density are in short supply. Suburban malls offer the opportunity to run errands during lunch, while also conveniently supporting a wide array of business amenities such as restaurants and event space for everyday meetings and larger corporate gatherings.
Across suburban Chicago, Class A office properties within a mile of a major mall are outperforming their competition in three out of four major suburban submarkets. While the area around Fashion Outlets of Chicago appears to be flagging, JLL Research attributes that to lack of concentrated Class A buildings surrounding the retail center and the size of nearby O'Hare airport.

So, I was told on May 3rd that the school would not be renewing my contract after 12 years of teaching there.
Just imagine the initial reaction. The stress kept me awake for days.
A week later and there is a light at the end of the tunnel that is not an oncoming train. While I was completely blindsided by this, I've come to realize that the change is going to be interesting. And wild. And fun. And awkward. And hard. And occasionally stressful. I am smart, capable and have an affinity with technology. Opportunities abound.
I am humbled by the support that has been offered by friends and colleagues, and by Keith. I am fortunate beyond measure.
I *finally* have the final class M motorcycle license. Thankfully, this one doesn't expire.
Last night's writing class was based on scent as memory trigger. I buried my nose in a old paperback and wrote:
It is the smell of summer nights, reading by flashlight in a tent or a cabin. It is the smell of winter days, home, sick, with nothing to do but read upstairs while Mum watched her stories downstairs. It is the smell of Chur-Lee Lodge, of being enveloped by the old mushy and musty sofa by the bookcase while listening to the rain drum on the roof then drip past the windows.
I know now why old paperbacks smell the way they do*, that the chemicals used to make paper breaks it down after time, makes it powdery so that you pick up traces of every page you turn, absorbing them through your skin to carry with you always.
There is no rhyme or reason to my thought process today. Maybe I should go have a nap before heading out to derby later.
