Make up for your lack of encounter by researching as significantly as you can about the type of organization you'd like to start.

It's day 10 of my blog challenge and here are a few things I've discovered so far:
*since the challenge, I have been carrying my camera with me everywhere! Not only that...but I am constantly looking at things with a fresh eye..."can this be a great pic?", "can this image encapsulate my story?", "how can I capture this light?" ...
* some days I sit down to write my post and I go..."what was I thinking...signing up for this blog challenge????" but the truth is...most days, I am completely up for the challenge + look forward to it! Even if I blank out for 5 mins. sitting here going..."what should I write about??"...it falls into place if I give it a chance.
* I carry a little notebook with me wherever I go...and scribble down blog post ideas. Sometimes I fall back on them and sometimes I write about what's in my heart as I sit down in front of the computer. But it's nice to have them written down so I don't forget.
* I am establishing a habit. I wake up and work out...grab my morning coffee and sit down to write.* the community has been an amazing support! Words of encouragement and inspiration are everywhere and I am "meeting" the warmest, most amazing peeps. Folks who are creative + funny, who are going through difficult times but still showing up...who are so giving with their time + advice. Plus...I'm discovering blogs I never would have otherwise!!
*I am consciously seeking new ways to share my stories, to share what's in my heart. Not all of my posts are going to be great...but they don't have to be! It's about showing up, being seen + doing my best.

H5N1 Cleavage Site Reversion in Gharbiya Sequences in Egypt
Recombinomics Commentary 00:55
February 26, 2008
Poultry H5N1 HA sequences from Egypt have been recently released by NAMRU-3. Included in the released sequences was a series that contained the two receptor binding domain changes present in the Gharbiya cluster, V223I and M230I. However, this series has a number of additional polymorphisms that had been previously limited to east Asia. Moreover, many of these changes are non synonymous, raising concerns that the rapid evolution is being driven by mismatched vaccines. Although the vaccination campaign has been extensive, reports of H5N1 in poultry have been high.
One of the non synonymous changes converts the signature Qinghai polybasic cleavage site of GERRRKKR into the original cleavage site of RERRRKKR, which was first reported in a Guangdong goose in 1996, and subsequently became widespread in eastern Asia in highly pathogenic H5N1. Although various human clade 2 isolates have signature changes such as RESRRKKR for clade 2.1 in Indonesia and RERRRKR for clade 2.3 (Fujian strain) in China and now moving into southeast Asia, the conversion of the Qingai cleavage site to the original motif has not been reported in public sequences.
However, the largest cluster in Indonesia, the Karo cluster in 2006, has the original cleavage site, which is now on Gharbiya-like sequences in Egypt. It is not clear if the Tamiflu resistance marker, N294S, is on the avian or human sequences this season, because no NA sequences have been released.
The acquisition of the original consensus cleavage is indicative of multiple changes in the recently released HA sequences. The recent confirmation of in a child in Minya who has a least one lung infection, in contrast to the mild cases last season, is cause for concern.

What's being done—or not—to save Manhattan's small businesses from Amazon and big box competition
Broadway, Manhattan's longest street and a main commercial drag, spans the length of the island from hilly Inwood to Lower Manhattan's breezy Bowling Green. There are shops from nose to tail, but a recent survey found that Broadway is also home to almost 200 vacant storefronts, dead zones on one of Gotham's liveliest thoroughfares.
Glaring vacancies aren't limited to Broadway though. From Madison and Fifth Avenue to Broadway in Soho and Bleeker Street in the West Village, high-end commercial strips in Manhattan are having trouble attracting commercial tenants. A healthy vacancy rate is 5 percent, but some fancy areas are in the midst of high-rent blight, with one in five (20 percent) storefronts vacant.
Further north, in Washington Heights, a whole block of immigrant-owned businesses were essentially evicted after new landlords proposed a 100 percent rent increase and declined to renew their leases.
Why is this happening?
The causes are predictable, but the solutions are not.
High rent, high taxes, regulations that favor owners over tenants, and plain old capitalism—the incentive for owners to seek their property's maximum value, and the consumer's desire to acquire goods at the lowest price—all contribute to the twin plagues of vacancy and the mall-ification (national chains displacing small, local businesses) of Manhattan. Stakeholders, though, disagree on what should be done to solve a growing crisis at street level.
This spring, the Manhattan Borough President's Office (MBPO) recruited volunteers to count all the vacant storefronts along Broadway, citing a dearth of information on how many vacancies exist, and where. The survey follows an effort from two years ago where the office reached out to small businesses and offered potential policy solutions to businesses' problems.
But first the report had to determine what a small business is, a question that is not as obvious as it seems.
The federal government's Small Business Administration (SBA) measures business size by number of employees or the company's value, depending on the sector. The Small Business Act, though, uses a measure that doesn't exactly conjure visions of mom-and-pops: It says small businesses have fewer than 500 employees. Under the same rules, a microbusiness has fewer than five employees and requires $35,000 in capital or less to get going.
In New York State, small businesses are companies that employ fewer than one hundred people, while New York City's Department of Small Business Services doesn't set a number. Instead, it encourages any self-identifying businesses to seek out its resources.
Consequently, the MBPO's March 2015 report called for a standardized measure of "small," and the recommendations in its report are geared toward firms with 15 or fewer employees.
No matter how you define them, it's clear that the not-so-invisible hand of the market is driving these firms out of business on Manhattan's main streets. One problem? Stratospheric commercial rent increases. In 2014, the average asking rent in Manhattan was $65.14 per square foot. With ever-more high-income individuals flooding Manhattan, landlords are reluctant to offer 10- or 15-year commercial leases lest they get stuck with a lower-paying tenant as commercial land values in the neighborhood skyrocket.
Other problems, the report found, include businesses not having enough insurance, delaying tax payment, and under-budgeting for utilities. On the city side, some business owners in the report cited punitive agency inspectors who, instead of working with the owner to correct an issue, slapped the business with a fine.
Additional solutions don't seem politically viable or aren't effected at a scale that works.
A special tax for businesses in most of Manhattan eats into viability, too. In June, Mayor Bill de Blasio rejected the city council's proposal to alter commercial rent tax, an almost four percent surcharge on annual rent of $250,000 or more on businesses below 96th Street. As rents have risen, the tax threshold has stayed the same, and more businesses have become impacted. A bill (sponsored by Councilmember Dan Garodnick) that would raise the ceiling to $500,000 in annual rent didn't make it into the final 2018 budget, though the item could be considered at a later date. If that limit were approved, the city would lose $52 million in revenue annually.
Zoning regulations encourage new development with huge storefronts that work for Chase and CVS but not for their independent counterparts. On the Upper West Side, though, neighbors are seeing mixed success from initiatives like a 2012 zoning change that limited storefronts to 25 feet, but don't limit store size, as businesses are free to expand up or down as space permits.
But some advocates say these reforms don't go far enough to stop business closures and the encroachment of chain stores.
"There is a crisis," said Kirsten Theodos, cofounder of TakeBackNYC, an advocacy group for New York City small businesses. New York is losing 1,000 small businesses and 8,000 jobs per month. Theodos, who lives near the East Village, said all of this "fuels the hyper-gentrification and whitewashing of the city, a process that's really accelerated over the past six years."
Her group supports the Small Business Jobs Survival Act (SBJSA), a piece of local legislation that would set new rules around renewing commercial leases. Among other provisions, SBJSA would give commercial tenants, at minimum, a ten-year lease plus right to renewal and the option of arbitration to come to a new rent. The legislation is designed to slow, not stop, the rate of change in neighborhoods, and level the playing field for florists and bakeries competing for storefronts with Starbucks and Pottery Barn.
When the bill was first introduced in 2014, it had the support of 17 councilmembers—now it has the support of 26, or half the council. But in a city dominated by real estate interests, the bill is a nonstarter, Theodos explained. REBNY, the city's largest real estate trade association, opposes the proposed rules, rallying around the idea that land values are subject to the "free market" and (incorrectly) deeming the rules "rent control."
Even real estate boosters, though, acknowledge the downtrends in the market. According to REBNY, average asking rents in Manhattan this past spring fell in 14 of 17 of the borough's top shopping strips compared with 2016 and record highs in 2014 and 2015. But the group maintains that a variety of factors set Manhattan apart from the suburbs, and grant the city a degree of immunity from experts' dire predictions about the death of retail. In New York, REBNY says there are "strong market fundamentals," including diverse food tenants, online retailers opening storefronts, and the eternal cache of a New York, NY address.
But to REBNY, doing well means collecting more rent. Fifth Avenue between 14th and 23rd streets (the Flatiron Fifth Avenue corridor) and Broadway between Battery Park and Chambers Street (the Lower Manhattan corridor) did the best, with ground floor rents rising by 18 percent to $456 per square foot in the Flatiron and 11 percent to $362 per square foot along the Lower Manhattan corridor. The report only looks at rents along main strips. Rents on side streets, according to the report, could diverge from the main drag; conversely, a gorgeous space on a prime corner may command greater asking rent and affect averages all along the strip.
It's not only high rents and taxes that are driving businesses to close. Online shopping is slaying retailers big and small, in Manhattan and the suburbs and beyond. Right now, unchecked real estate speculation and limited protections for small-business owners mean that there is little protection against ultimately having a national bank and pharmacy on every corner.

Craft collaborations elevate Thakoon's flagship Soho store by SHoP Architects
Like an architect, fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul carefully balances contemporary and historical influences. His eponymous brand has won him fans from Michelle Obama to Target, but when it came time to build a brick-and-mortar store, Panichgul and New York–based SHoP faced a more complex balancing act. They wanted to carefully devise an interior that would reflect its Soho surroundings and the Thakoon aesthetic, all while grabbing the attention of passersby and setting itself apart from competitors.
"Thakoon was really interested in making [the store] of its place, of New York, bringing in the grit of the city," said Coren Sharples, principal at SHoP. Concrete with dark aggregate covers the floors, and the architects tapped Brooklyn-based Fernando Mastrangelo Studio to cast multiple concrete walls throughout the store. Mastrangelo reproduced the subtle gradients of his furniture on an architectural scale, pouring multiple layers of gray-hued concrete in a single casting. "This was crazy, it was done on site," said Sharples. "This was formed up and poured. Really a little scary, but [Mastrangelo] was amazing."
Wood was also an important part of Panichgul's vision—the designer had prepared a mood board with several wood treatments that figured prominently in other fashion brands' aesthetics. These ranged from light treatments with vernacular ornamentation (what he called "American Traditional") to richly grained and darkly stained ("American Glam"). SHoP and Panichgul ultimately chose an unfinished white oak ("American Cool"), a look that left the wood in its raw, natural state. White oak surfaces sinuously undulate along the showroom's walls even as they retain a dry, coarse texture. The architects and client also worked closely with Brooklyn-based furniture maker Vonnegut/Kraft on the store's wood furniture: Connection details, leather seating, and each edge and taper went through multiple iterations before landing on a design that features simple woven-leather straps. Vonnegut/Kraft's pieces stand in the main showroom and hug the curves of each dressing room.
Extra seating is provided by travertine blocks that were CNC-milled in Italy to 3-D models provided by SHoP. Panichgul tapped London-based designer Michael Anastassiades for the principal lighting features: simple orbs with brass detailing. Brass is also used for the store's clothing rods and the towering sculptural display rack that stands prominently in the main showroom.
Taken all together, the materials find ways to somehow be both angular and curved, smooth and gritty, even as their neutral tones give the clothing center stage. "We wanted it to be infused with material sensibility and warmth, but at the same time, it's always this line you walk because you don't want to overpower or dictate," said Sharples.

Roll & Hill lighting showroom, designed by architecture firm Husband Wife, opens in Soho
Brooklyn lighting company Roll & Hill is opening its first-ever showroom in Manhattan's Soho district May 14. Together with architecture firm Husband Wife, with which the company previously partnered for its Euroluce stand in Milan, and designer Jason Miller, Roll & Hill created a space that reflected its boutique offerings. Founder Jason Miller established the company in 2010 to offer high-quality local craftsmanship (the factory is located in Sunset Park) to a mass audience—working with independent designers such as Lindsey Adelman, Fort Standard, Philippe Malouin, and Formafantasma. The showroom is meant to be a reflection of its luxury wares: "I think lighting often acts as a counterpoint to architecture. I have heard it described as 'jewelry for the home,' and I wanted to create an environment that would allow the lights to do just that," said Miller.
To achieve this effect, the building was completely gutted and elegantly redone in white open spaces punctuated by simple fluted columns, oblong archways, delicate staircases, and gently curving walls. The 4,000-square-foot, four-story showroom opens with a first floor that functions like a traditional gallery ("Without the stuffiness," Miller clarified), while the second floor is viewed as the "library floor" and the third floor "has a sexy '70s vibe," both with plush carpets and wood paneling, accompanied by exclusively designed furniture by Miller, Malouin, and Finn Juhl. "I was looking for a place…that felt intimate. I think it does exactly what I was hoping."

"We're always interested in the intersection between old-fashioned hand craft, and modern machined factory production."Located in the Soho Cast Iron Historic district, XOCO325 (pronounced sho/co) is a 9-story, 24-unit condo development. Named after the Catalan word for chocolate, the project involves the renovation of a former Tootsie chocolate factory, and a new structure cloaked in a custom cast aluminum screen. The condos range in size from just over 1,000 sq. ft. to nearly 5,000 sq. ft. and are connected by a central courtyard. The design, development, and construction of the project has all been coordinated by New York-based office DDG who specializes in inclusive project delivery. Peter Guthrie, Chief Creative Officer and Head of Design & Construction of DDG, says from very early on, this "one-stop-shop" approach to development was rooted in the idea of embracing unique material qualities in construction. "At 41 Bond Street – one of our first projects – we were hand carving bluestone pieces on site. One of the ideas we had early on was that by doing this ourselves in house, and controlling everything throughout the process, we could bring back an element of craft that other companies couldn't afford to do." The most prominent feature of XOCO325 is a custom cast aluminum screen, carefully developed through an extensive survey of the cast iron district, where roughly 250 cast iron buildings reside. Through this study, the project team began to understand the cast iron facade as an industrialized "kit of parts" approach to architecture where design and construction rely heavily on series of componentry made available through pattern books. Inspiration also came from contemporary catalogs such as McMaster-Carr's online website, which Guthrie labels as a "bible of industrial parts." The catalog includes everything from bolts and screws to street lamp posts and furniture.

It is hard to surprise me. But on June 7, 2018, during a trip to Italy, Michael Mills did just that.
We were at the Boboli Gardens at Palazzo Pitti overlooking one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Florence. It was a sweltering day, and we had hiked up the hillside with his mother and two daughters in tow, hoping for amazing views of the Duomo. We came to a clearing that had a fantastic view overlooking the city—and I, of course, was focused on trying to capture it with a picture—when Michael put his arm around me. Now mind you, it was 95 degrees. I was getting ready to pull away because I was hot and sticky and gross, when he said, "I thought this would be the perfect spot to ask you to marry me."
I think I just looked at him. It is a bit of a blur. I didn't comprehend what was happening until he pulled out the most amazingly beautiful diamond ring I'd ever seen. I'm pretty sure I said yes, because I have that spectacular ring on my finger now.
One of my girlfriends said, "You must have been surprised, because you would have worn something nicer and at least brushed your hair."
True. But I'll take it.
We celebrated our engagement with decadent gelato.
So after writing about other couples' engagement stories for more than 10 years, this is a first for me—writing my own. This is a second marriage for both of us, and we'll do things differently this time around. I feel blessed to have been given a second chance at love with a man who has a gentle spirit, is supportive of my dreams and ambitions, holds me tight when I feel vulnerable, makes ordinary moments magical, doesn't mind chauffeuring me all over the state, and never complains when I yell, "Pull over!" so I can take the thousandth photo of a sunset.
I look forward to a our lifetime of adventures together!
That's amore!

The Stink
I motioned the two-finger sign to my new favorite bartender and she sent me down the poison and I drained it. I motioned another and another and I offered up a toast to honor my solitude on this lonely bar stool. "this is for always trying to get there and when you finally arrive, you don't know what the fuck to do".
No one cared.
One shoot, two shoots, three, four, five, a beer, six, a joint in the back with a cook on break. Seven, eight,
These people are vampires, so fake and uninteresting; they all try to be each other and never know who they are. Over analyzing every little detail. Making it all up as they go and they love it. they even, beg for more.
Wallet, phone, watch…check.
I did my best to hold it back last night. But what the fuck happened?
Snap shot:
The shutter speed is amazingly slow but I believe I just made out a bon fire.
Muddy details:
- Extremely large
- Not the 2' diameter like the fire chief requires
- This bitch was built to burn
Did I burn myself?
No, I don't think so.
Snap shot:
The shutter speed is slowly improving.
Muddy details:
- Bright store
- Full bearded dude holds the door for me
What did I get at the store? What store was this?
Snap shot:
- Back of a cab with torn seats held together with duct tape.
- Took a right and then a left…I think
- A voice shouted as I creeped past a door. "Yeah, suck it in man, suck it deep…. eyes wide…hold your breathe. Compose yourself god damn it. You know the stink oozes off you. "
I reach over to rewind the tape. Then hit play "Yeah, suck it in man, suck it deep…. eyes wide… hold your breathe. Compose yourself god damn it. You know the stink oozes from you. "
The rest of the tape was inaudible, the microphone may have been jammed into my pocket or just covered in the stink.

The stomach is a muscular sac that is important for absorbing food and preparing food for further digestion.
Bulimia is a disorder related to eating in which the subject experiences bouts of binge eating succeeded by depression and guilt. The subject can try to induce vomiting to negate the effects of the binge eating. A patient suffering from bulimia can be harsh in self-evaluation regarding body shape and weight. Bulimia can continue over the lifetime of an individual since the symptoms are hard to detect and the patients try to hide information because of the shame associated with the disease.

INSIGNIA Double Decked!, Part Two
This is one of many posts that were lost in transition to MaritimeMatters new server, each of which is gradually being restored to the site. This second of a two-part Decked! feature about Oceania Cruises' MV INSIGNIA was published in 2008, before the ship was chartered to Hapag-Lloyd Cruises, for whom she is currently sailing as COLUMBUS 2. Here, you will see all the public spaces and deck areas on Decks 9 through 4 as they appeared at the time. In 2014, the ship will be given a major refit before returning to the Oceania fold as INSIGNIA, once again.

Builders: Chantiers de l'Atlantique, St. Nazaire, France (hull #H31)
Deck Eight:
Deck Eight begins with the wheelhouse, which features open bridge wings. Aft of the officers' accommodation, the passenger cabins begin with 26 Penthouse Suites, continuing with 4 Verandah Suites, 10 Category F Insides and 2 Owners Suites..
Deck Seven:
Deck Seven is fully devoted to accommodation, beginning with 2 Vista Suites, 100 Verandah Staterooms, 2 Category C outsides, 10 Category F insides, 2 Category G insides and 2 Vista Suites. A self-service laundry room features four washers, four dryers and ironing facilities.
Deck Six:
Deck Six begins with the upper level of the fo'c'sle head, a rim of decking encircling the Deck Five mooring area. Inside, it contains 2 Vista Suites, 2 Category C outsides, 66 Category B verandah staterooms, 18 partially obstructed (due to lifeboats) Category E outsides.
Deck Five:
The 345-seat Insignia Lounge starts the lineup of public rooms on Deck Five. It features a sunken inlaid marquetry dance floor, slightly terraced seating and a large bar area. It is the setting for enrichment lectures, art auctions, and nightly shows. This is an extremely attractive space with comfortable modern seating, a bright white ceiling, rich blue and gold soft fittings and dark wood paneling.
Just aft of the Insignia Lounge, a vestibule leads to two finite promenades, which feature cushioned deck chairs for those seeking a low key, off-the-beaten track spot to unwind or relax in the fresh sea air.
A passage along the starboard side, the center portion of which is the ship's photo gallery, leads from the Insignia Lounge past the Casino and Martinis to the Boutiques area.
INSIGNIA has a small casino with roulette and card tables as well as slot machines. Decorated in Edwardian style, it adjoins the similarly-appointed Martinis.
Seating 50 guests, Martini's is yet another intimate, sophisticated venue that is often the setting for trivia quizzes, cabaret style entertainment or, in the wee hours, a quiet drink. Tartan carpets, mahogany and walnut wood tones, wingback chairs and plush "sofettes" continue the ship's Edwardian decorative theme.
A faux stone and marble passage leads from Martini's through the modern Boutique area to what is possibly the most Edwardian (or at least TITANIC) influenced space on the ship, the Upper Hall.
The Upper Hall's main focal point is the grand staircase that leads down in a T-formation to the Deck Four Lobby. With its domed skylight, hammered tin ceiling, wrought iron balustrades, gilded mirror and crimson carpet, the stairs are among the first features seen by embarking passengers and make a bold first impression.
The 30-seat Grand Bar is more subdued than the Upper Hall it merges with on the aft starboard side, although it is still evocatively Edwardian. The ante spot for the Grand Restaurant, it's main focal points are the recessed, frescoed ceiling and faux fireplace.
In my two weeks spent aboard INSIGNIA, there was no vibration at the stern, making the lovely 330-seat Grand Restaurant all the more enjoyable for its views over the ship's wake. The food and service here was among the best on the seven seas and could easily hold its own against the ship's specialty restaurants. The dark wood tones are softened by natural light from the panorama of windows surrounding the room. More frescoes adorn the bulkheads and ceiling and the Art Nouveau-styled table settings are by Versace.
Deck Four:
INSIGNIA's Deck Four Lower Hall features the Destination Services Desk on the aft port side; the Reception at the foot of the stairs and a Concierge desk on the port side of the lobby with seating for 16 guests.
Deck Four is also home to 52 Category C outside cabins.
Deck Three:
Deck Three has the tender embarkation platform and 15 Category D outside cabins on the starboard side.
End of INSIGNIA Double Decked! Last updated: August 18, 2013

Tips for Conserving Water at Home
Water is becoming the world's most precious resource, and changing your cleaning habits contributes to water conservation. Practice these clean and green ways to conserve water and reduce water waste at home:
Fix leaky faucets and running toilets immediately.
Get a low-flow showerhead that restricts water flow to a maximum of 2.5 gallons per minute or as low as 1.5 gpm.
Make sure that all sink faucets have aerators to reduce water flow.
When it's time to update the toilet, go for a low-flow or dual-flush toilet.
Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth or washing up.
Choose a shower over a bath and save as much as 50 gallons of water per use.
Keep showers to five minutes or less.
Turn off the shower while soaping up or shampooing.
Capture wasted "warm-up" shower water in a bucket and use it for the toilet, garden, or washing machine.
Fill a 2-liter soda bottle with water and set it in the toilet tank to displace and save water every time you flush.
Replace your clothes washer with a frontload, high-efficiency (HE) model and cut water use 20 to 50 percent.
Update your dishwasher with a more efficient machine that uses less water.
Always wash a full load of dishes — the cycle uses the same amount of water and energy whether it's a half or full load.
Place a rain barrel under your downspout and capture rainwater for your lawn and garden.

Will the real Worship Leader please stand up?!
You guys already know that I love worship, worship teams, singing and writing awesome songs, etc.
I have a confession to make. There have been times when I was hired to be a "worship leader" that I thought I was THE "worship leader". Let me explain. When I was hired to lead the team, I've felt that I was the one who truly knew what was best for the team. I've felt like the way I ran my team was up to what I thought, envisioned, taught, etc. My song selections were the "best" because I was the worship leader. My idea of how to lead the congregation was paramount because I was the authority on worship!
I failed to remember that the real "worship leader", the one who would ultimately be held accountable for the people they were leading, was the overseer (pastor, minister, one appointed to lead).
Worship leader, you don't have the right to choose what you want to choose. You don't have the final say on how your team is to be ran. You can't do what you want to when you are on that stage. No. You fall under the authority of the real worship leader, the overseer. Worship leader (#2), if you do not know the vision of Worship leader (#1), stop singing until you do. #2, if you have not collaborated with #1 about the music selections, shame on you. #2, if you are building your own kingdom within a kingdom, you are being used by the enemy.
Just because your pastor can't sing or isn't musically inclined, doesn't mean he can't understand worship. Or have you forgotten?! Worship primarily has to do with living our lives to the glory of God. Not who sings or plays the best.
Just my two cents…

Click below to view your school's Water Quality Testing Results;
Crete-Monee School District 201- U is committed to protecting student, teacher and staff health. High levels of lead in drinking water can cause health problems, however, lead cannot be absorbed through the skin. To protect our students and staff, and in accordance with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), we recently tested our schools' drinking water for lead. The Lead in Drinking Water Testing Bill (LDWTB) requires elementary school buildings constructed prior to January 1, 2000, serving 5th grade and below to test the following sources:
Although there is no safe level of lead in drinking water, the IDPH requires that if lead is found at levels above 20.0 parts per billion (ppb) a Mitigation Plan is enacted.
We are encouraged that in analyzing the data, we have identified the sources and created a solid Mitigation Plan to provide safe, clean drinking water in our schools.

The Metropolitans
By Carol Goodman
Narrated by Kathleen McInerney / 9 hours
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler meets The Apothecary in this time-bending mystery from bestselling author Carol Goodman!
The day Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, four thirteen-year-olds converge at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where an eccentric curator is seeking four uncommonly brave souls to track down the hidden pages of the Kelmsbury Manuscript, an ancient book of Arthurian legends that lies scattered within the museum's collection, and that holds the key to preventing a second attack on American soil.
When Madge, Joe, Kiku, and Walt agree to help, they have no idea that the Kelmsbury is already working its magic on them. But they begin to develop extraordinary powers and experience the feelings of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Morgan le Fay, and Lancelot: courage, friendship, love...and betrayal. Are they playing out a legend that's already been lived, over and over, across the ages? Or can the Metropolitans forge their own story?
Almost ready!

text: The long-debated proposal to increase family leave benefits is moving closer to a vote by the DC Council. The proposed legislation, which appears to have the support of a majority of Council members, would require employers to provide 11 weeks of paid family leave for parents to care for newborn or adopted children and 8 weeks to care for parents or grandparents. Full- and part-time employees would be able to receive up to 90 percent of their pay, limited to $1,000 per week. The program would be funded by a 0.62 percent increase in payroll taxes, and would be considered the most generous family leave law in the country.

Being a professional Coral Springs Tree Removal Company and providing Tree Removal services Coral Springs, Fl is our passion. When you are informed that you have a tree on your property that needs to be removed, you need to examine your options. If you decide to remove the tree yourself, it will be expensive and quite possibly dangerous. If you hire a random person to do the job for you, you run the risk of being held liable for any injuries or damages. The safer alternative is to hire a professional tree removal company in Coral Spring, FL. You want to make sure that you use a reputable tree removal company. They can save you from wasting a ton of money and from having to deal with any potential problems that can arise during the tree removal process. A certified Coral Spring Tree Removal company will make sure that there are not any gas lines, buried wires, pipes or other structures buried near the tree in question. The last thing you want is for your property to become the scene of an accident. Let them take care of making sure that the tree can be removed without causing any damage. They have professional tools that can be used to help determine how to get that unwanted tree removed properly. You want to make sure that you have some sort of liability insurance included in your homeowner's insurance policy. Just in case someone gets hurt while any trees are being removed from your property, you are not held liable and cannot be sued.
Before you pick a tree removal company, check their references and make sure they are bonded. Any qualified and reputable company will be able to provide you with a long list of references upon request. They can guarantee their work and will make sure you are aware of what exactly needs to be done. They make the process as smooth and easy as possible for you so that it does not interfere with the use of your property. If you request it, the professionals will remove any stumps that are left behind. Don't hesitate to use a tree removal company when you need to remove any trees and shrubs that are causing problems on your property. Don't hire some handyman because you think that they will be cheaper. Using a professional company will prevent you from worrying about whether or not the removal was done properly or if someone was hurt in the process whether or not a lawsuit is coming your way. In the long run, it is much cheaper and more convenient for you to hire a company who can get it done right the first time and in a fast manner. The most common reason for these magnificent natural growths to be removed is the onset of disease, their death, or a compromised structure because of damage caused during a storm. If trees are in imminent danger of toppling over and destroying property, they must be removed as soon as possible and preferably by a professional. Other reasons to cut them down include interference with power lines, other trees, building height, or driveways.
During the tree removal process, a professional will first check the surrounding area for obstacles that may be damaged as the tree falls. He or she will take into account which way the tree naturally leans, since this is the direction it will most likely fall. Sometimes, large branches should be removed first, and then the entire structure is cut at the stump. One important aspect is the formation of two escape routes, one to be used if a natural fall occurs and a second if it begins to fall the other way. The size of the tree will determine the type of tool used for tree removal. A chain saw is the typical tool of choice for large trees, and a handsaw can be used for small ones. Two cuts are used to direct trees to the ground. An undercut is a 90-degree, V-shaped cut, which is made on the side which should lead the fall. Then, if necessary, a backcut is made on the opposite side to release any tension that may be preventing the fall. Once the main part has fallen, you're left with a stubborn stump which must be removed from the ground. Finally, you can choose to incorporate it into your landscaping. It can be used as a bird feeder when you hollow out an area to fill with seeds. How about a planter? Hollow out an area to fill with soil and seeds. Besides, leaving the stump will remind you of the leafy green friend who used to reside in your yard.

Bhutan is linguistically rich with over eighteen dialects being spoken in the country. The richness of the linguistic diversity can be attributed to the geographical disposition of the country with its high mountain passes and deep valleys that contributed to their survival.
The other major languages are the Tshanglakha and the Lhotshamkha. Tshanglakha is the native language of the Tshanglas of eastern Bhutan while Lhotshamkha is spoken by the southern Bhutanese of Nepali origin.
Other dialects spoken are the Khengkha spoken by the Khengpas of Central Bhutan, the Bumthapkha spoken by the Bumthaps, the Mangdepkah spoken by the inhabitants of Trongs and the Cho Cha Nga Chang kha spoken by the Kurtoeps. The Sherpas, Lepchas and the Tamangs in southern Bhutan also have their own dialect. Dialects that is on the verge of becoming extinct is the Monkha and the Gongduepkha.
