A: – We recommend checking www.booking.com, www.hostelworld.com or other similar webpages to find budget hotels to stay at before and after the event.
– Such bookings have to be made individually and EFIL is not a part of this process.
Q: How will the weather be at the VSS?
A: – Unfortunately the EFIL secretariat does not have an especially tight bond with the weather gods.
– What we can tell you is that the event is hosted in the middle of July and the average temperature at the venue in this time of year is somewhere between 15°C and 26°C. There is a chance of rain and it might get quite cold in the evenings. If we are lucky it might also be sunny and nice.
– We recommend preparing for different weathers. Dress like an onion, then you can rather take off layers if it gets too warm than being cold.
– We also recommend keeping an eye on the weather. You can find the weather forecast here: https://www.zamg.ac.at/cms/en/weather/weather-forecast/steiermark/
Q: What is the attire for the event? Formal? Casual?
A: The attire is completely up to you. There is no dress code at the VSS but to give an indication, people tend to dress rather casually at this event. On the other hand, we do recommend taking the weather into consideration when packing for the VSS.
Q: Can I bring my spouse or other family members to the event?
A: – If they are AFS volunteers and have registered, gotten confirmed and payed the registration fee: Yes!
– If not: The VSS is an event held exclusively for AFS volunteers that are registered participants. It is therefore not possible to bring external people to the venue.

text:
A defendant's right to a fair trial imposes important limitations on how prosecutors can characterize evidence or argue their case before the jury. If a prosecutor makes objectionable comments during trial, the court has wide discretion whether to let the comment slide or declare a mistrial and force the State to start its case over in front of a new jury. However, if a prosecutor repeatedly makes inflammatory or misleading comments, the cumulative effects of those statements may require the defendant to receive a new trial.
Supreme Court Expands Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel for Defendants Facing Deportation
The Sixth Amendment guarantees defendants the right to effective assistance of counsel during all "critical stages" of a criminal proceeding. In the context of plea negotiations, this means that criminal defense attorneys must convey plea offers to their client in a timely fashion and give adequate advice about the consequences of accepting or rejecting the offer. The United States Supreme Court previously held, in a case called Padilla v. Kentucky, that this duty extends to advice about the immigration consequences of entering a plea. In an opinion rendered last week, Lee v. United States, the Supreme Court held that bad advice about immigration consequences can support post-conviction relief, even in situations where the defendant did not have any reasonable hope of winning at trial.
Supreme Court Allows Inquiry into Juror's Racial Bias to Challenge Criminal Conviction
In an opinion rendered this week-Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado-the Supreme Court carved out an important exception to a longstanding rule prohibiting jurors from being questioned about conduct during deliberations after a verdict has been rendered. The case involved a Colorado man who was convicted for sexually assaulting two teenage girls. The jury returned a verdict against him. After the trial, two jurors approached Mr. Pena-Rodriguez's criminal defense attorney and expressed concerns about another juror's racial comments during deliberations. Specifically, the juror went into a lengthy tirade about Mr. Pena-Rodriguez's Hispanic heritage, noting that he "believed the defendant was guilty because, in [the juror's] experience as an ex-law enforcement officer, Mexican men had a bravado that caused them to believe they could do whatever they wanted with women."
Navigating the Speedy Trial Act
Most people know that the Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to a trial, "without unnecessary delay". However, in the federal system, defendants also have speedy trial rights under statutory law. Specifically, the Speedy Trial Act of 1974 requires a criminal trial to commence within 70 days from the date the Information or Indictment was filed or from the date the defendant appears before an officer of the court during his first appearance, whichever is later. While the Speedy Trial Act may seem simple, it is often the subject of litigation, because the 70 days provided in the act can often actually go much longer before a defendant is entitled to a trial on his criminal charges.
Leonard Weinglass in Defense of Civil Liberties Award
The AAJ Civil Rights Section presents the Leonard Weinglass in Defense of Civil Liberties Award, annually, to honor an attorney or a civil rights advocate who has made a noteworthy contribution to the defense of our civil rights and civil liberties bringing, trying, or resolving a suit, or by otherwise protecting or advancing civil liberties, in a way that has had a significant impact.
William Sheppard Argues the Right to a Speedy Arrest Before the First District Court of Appeal
In addition to representing our clients in their individual cases, one of the most gratifying experiences to the members of this firm is to prevail on a constitutional issue which benefits thousands of criminally accused defendants. Over twenty -one years ago, we were honored to have successfully argued Doggett vs. United States, 505 U.S. 647 (1992) before the United States Supreme Court. Doggetthas become the bedrock case when courts are determining whether a person's Sixth Amendment right to speedy arrest has been violated, and has been cited in thousands of decisions on this issue.
Our Experience in The History of the Speedy Trial Clause of The Sixth Amendment
Marc Doggett was charged by indictment with conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine. He called me and made an appointment a few days after he had been arrested in Reston, Virginia. The case itself was in Jacksonville, Florida, so he came to Jacksonville and hired us. I'm not altogether clear how Mr. Doggett found me, but the minute I met him, I knew what his avenue of escape from the clutches of the United States might be. I recall meeting with Marc in the conference room in the afternoon and, during the course of our conversation, I had the folks in the office retrieve a closed file in the case of United States v. A.J.B.1 AJB's case involved the very same issue as Doggett's: the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. I had won AJB's case on a motion to dismiss before the Honorable Charles R. Scott, United States Federal District Judge for the Middle District of Florida. The difference between the two cases was that Mr. Doggett's delay was far longer than AJB's (8-1/2 years versus 32 months).

Topic : Occupational therapy resume template.
Author : Gaylen Mathews.
Published : Tue, Aug 13th 2019 05:00 AM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
First of all, you should be able to recognize the essentials of a good invoice template sample. Certain features are common to most small business receipt template. For instance, it has to have the name of the company and its address, as well as the contact information of the customer. It necessarily describes the kind of services offered and the price agreed for providing them. Usually, companies include their logo in the customer invoice template and, depending on the nature of business, they may mention the payment terms and the breakdown of goods or services offered.
Both professional and amateur content writers are finding comfort from article writing templates. These templates, which can easily be downloaded online, help provide structure to an otherwise confused article. This innovation is truly a godsend for content writers, and here are some reasons why. With premade templates, you can be sure that the articles you publish are appealing to your audience, because these templates have already been proven effective among readers. If you use any of these templates, your article is guaranteed to attract and engage readers. For example, many people favor how-to articles, because they comprehensively teach readers how to do things on their own. This format also provides step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand and follow.
Lastly, you will need to consider the production of your template. Depending on your industry you need to pick the best invoice to suit your needs. For example, you may use an invoice template that you customize electronically and print from the convenience of your office before submitting to your client. Or perhaps, the invoice will be sent electronically through email. Or you may require a handwritten invoice form that your technician can complete in the field. Most likely, your company will require a combination of these. Using a template can ensure that your companys design and branding elements are consistent.

4 Reasons Why a Business Card is Still a Good Idea
Today, people you meet still expect business cards. They can enhance your credibility and legitimacy and give your prospect a better sense of your professionalism.
2. Business Cards can be Direct Marketing Tools
No other form of marketing is more effective than face-to-face communication coupled with a handshake. You never know when you'll run into a potentially valuable prospect, so you should always be prepared to market your business when the opportunity arises.
3. They Help Build Your Brand
A successful card should contain your company's logo, advertising slogan and necessary contact information, including a phone number, website address and email where you can be easily reached.
4. They're Budget-Friendly
One of the biggest advantages of a business card is its affordability. One of the worst mistakes you might make is to misjudge the importance of a quality business card to brand identity.

Gustav May Change GOP Convention Message
Gustav May Change GOP Convention Message
Chuck DeFeo, the e-campaign manager for President Bush in 2004, tells Liane Hanson the Republican Party will focus on change during this week's convention, but that a big hurricane will probably shift that message. DeFeo is now vice president of Townhall.com, a conservative online community.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
With Hurricane Gustav barreling toward the Gulf Coast, Republican officials are considering what to do about their party's convention, which is set to open in St. Paul, Minnesota, tomorrow. President Bush is unlikely to attend tomorrow as planned, citing concerns that it may be inappropriate to appear during what could be a massive natural disaster. Convention planners are monitoring the situation closely. Joining us now from St. Paul to talk about what's coming up at the convention is Chuck DeFeo. He's with the conservative online community townhall.com. Welcome to the program.
Mr. CHUCK DEFEO (Vice President, General Manager, Townhall.com): Thank you for having me.
HANSEN: I want to ask you about John McCain's historic choice of Sarah Palin. One of your bloggers put it, this choice begins to close the energy gap. Tell us about that as you're heading into the convention.
Mr. DEFEO: Well, there's two ways of looking at that. One, there's energy, which Sarah Palin, you know, as reports are coming out, has the most energy experience that probably anyone on the ticket, including Senator McCain and Senator Obama. Being a member of the Oil and Gas Commission is a pretty hefty position, and she's had a record of bucking the oil companies and making sure that the people of Alaska are really benefiting from the drilling that they do there.
As far as the energy gap, I think what some conservatives are saying is this is really change we can believe in. Both McCain and Palin have strong records of reform, strong records of really bucking the Republican establishment. I think both independents and liberals alike can really point to and see that these people are not the same old Republicans.
HANSEN: Give us a sense of the narrative next week. What will be the strategy going into the convention?
Mr. DEFEO: Well as you mentioned, it's a difficult time to be in. Gustav really has picked up. Outside of what would be happening in the Gulf Coast, you're going to see a message of reform. There's no doubt that John McCain has been truly a maverick, someone who has fought for change, has fought for change in Washington, has fought for reforms. And with his choice of Palin, he's found someone who's kind of that ideological soul mate who is going to continue to fight for change as they see kind of best for the people.
And you're going to hear that message - you would hear that message from the podium. As we monitor what's going on in the Gulf Coast, you're probably going to see a shift in message about - really, you know, as someone was saying last night, it might almost turn into American Idol Gives Back more of a feel rather than overall messaging about where we want to take the country, and recognizing the hardships that certain people are going through and what we can do to - in this moment of time to do to help them out.
HANSEN: Chuck DeFeo is the vice president and general manager of townhall.com, a conservative online community. Thank you very much.
Mr. DEFEO: Thank you.

Clinton's Emotional Promise to Girls Across America
Source: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
In a heartfelt and emotional concession speech, Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, ended her hard fought presidential race.
Source: AP
After an evening where many expected Clinton to become the first female president of the United States, only to see Trump race to a shocking victory, Clinton offered these words to women across America. "To all the women, and especially the young women who put their faith in this campaign and in me, I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion…I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now…And to all little girls watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and to achieve your own dreams."
Source: AFP/Getty Images
The fight for the White House was filled with contention, but in her concession speech Clinton was gracious of Trump's victory saying, "Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans…Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead."

Pethamenis (Kanalaki)
Between the beaches Perivoliou and Chondrogianni is the beach of Pethameni. A strange name and a little macabre (it means Dead Woman in Greek), which it received after the discovery of a dead woman there about forty years ago.
After leaving your car on the main road, you will have to walk for some time (the road is not suitable for slippers!) to get to the beach.
Two small gulfs, sand and crystal clear waters will make it worthwhile.
Whichever beach on Skopelos you choose to swim at, one thing is sure: that you will enjoy crystal clear waters with blue-green colours, and the countless pine trees as a background, so pleasing to the eye and the mind!
Pethamenis Beach Skopelos
Those who do not love the hassle do not make the effort to go to the beach and choose best beach Perivoliou or Chondroyiorgis ( we suggest perivoliou).
Now what can you say about this beach .
For those who of course love the trails and secluded beaches .. So just before you reach the gardens and see a sign that says to Perivoliou but also to Hontrogeorgis , you twisted to Hontrogeorgis and just before you reach the beach Hontrogeorgis see to the left a dirt road.
Park there and walk a very short path ( but in the end needs some attention because you will be walking on the rocks ) and ended up in a dream beach , this beach like all northern Perivoliou Glisteri St. John etc should be avoided when we winds .
Whichever beach of Skopelos you choose to swim , however , it is certain that you will enjoy crystal clear waters with unique turquoise color and background countless pine trees soothe the eye and the mind.

Fans of the angel Fallen trilogy by Kate will enjoy this ethereal new series beginning with TEARDROP. This story begins with Seedbearer Ander deciding to go against his family and save Eureka from the wave his people designed to kill her and her mother as they drive over a bridge. Then, readers enter Eureka's world as she wades through sadness and the changes in people she loves in order to learn about her supernatural powers and fate. Mystery, romance and fantasy combine for an enchanting world with plenty of hints about adventures to come in the next books.
"Lauren Kate's books have a slower, immersive pace and style and that works for this fantasy..."
Ander's purpose has been to watch Eureka her entire life. Now that she's 17, he knows he is in love with her and can't bear to see her die in the crash. But he does not realize how losing her mother and that grief would keep Eureka from wanting to live.
Life in small town New Iberia, Louisiana now seems unbearable for Eureka, with her harsh stepmother, distant father and their required therapy visits. Bright spots include her beloved twin half siblings Claire and William, best friends Brooks and Cat and memories of her archeologist mother and their travels all over the world. Formerly a DJ and a cross country team captain, Eureka is trying to get herself to a meet when a handsome boy crashes into her jeep; she feels a connection.
Ander drops in and out of her life, telling her lies like he goes to a rival high school or giving her a false phone number. She and Cat try in vain to track him down. At the same time, Eureka is having feelings about Brooks, someone who has always been her friend. She isn't happy with Maya, the girl after him, but she is not ready to take the step beyond friendship with him.
After a freakish wave during a picnic on the beach, Brooks is not himself. He kisses Eureka passionately, then fights with her and does not speak to her for days. When they make up, he maintains a random mean streak. Ander reappears to tell her that Brooks is not who he seems, and that he may have been possessed.
Eureka also receives some mysterious objects through her mother's will. One is a Thunderstone, another a sealed locket, and the third is a book in an undecipherable language. Cat helps her find a fortune teller to help her decipher what turns out to be a love story about Atlantis, the underwater world. Before Eureka can figure out how this relates to her mother, the fortune teller is killed, and danger surrounds the horrified teen; a trip on a boat with Brooks and the twins turns tragic.
Clues from Ander, the objects her mother left and the mysterious book start to come together, along with the reasons for the lifetime warning her mother gave her never to cry. When extreme duress forces Eureka to cry, her tears unleash a flood. Readers will be waiting for the next book to learn what happens next.
Lauren Kate's books have a slower, immersive pace and style and that works for this fantasy, though the book could have been shorter. Readers will spend time in Eureka's world learning about all the characters before learning what the clues mean, but it is an enjoyable read with a unique Atlantis and water world situation running through it.

Spring finally showed up this weekend, in one glorious burst of warm sunshine. We took advantage by popping into Louis Cifer for some drinks after bottling lots of wine at Fermentations a few blocks away. Louis Cifer finally obtained the paperwork necessary to brew onsite, unlike the first time we went to Louis Cifer. We decided to give a few flights a shake (4x 5oz pours for $10) to test out the on-site production and bring home a growler from the store to give it a fair shake. I am definitely routing for this newish brewpub's success – I used to live around the block when I first moved to Toronto 5 years ago, and I would have loved to have something like this nearby. (I used to live in walking distance from Dieu du Ciel, forgive me.)
I enjoyed the American Brown Ale with a steak sandwich served rare at the brewpub, and in a double-walled glass at home on the patio. It was great having our first backyard beer of the season – we were worn out from a 3 hour walk with the new dog (ok – 1 hour of walking, 2 hours of him barking at every possible distraction in the world – sorry neighbouhood) and we were lulled into a wonderful relaxing evening while the neighbours roasted lamb in the backyard for Orthodox Easter. It's not quite warm enough yet to get into the pilsners and lagers, but it was definitely too warm yesterday for a stout. A brown ale is right up my alley in the spring. And we finally used the beer glasses Kole's brother got us for Christmas a few years ago.
Appearance: Rich brown colour, lasting cream coloured head. Unfiltered appearance and heavily carbonated.
Aroma: Deep roasted malts, light coffee aroma with some vanilla. Hardly any hop aroma.
Taste: Even carbonation, heavier coffee notes on the palate. Definitive chestnut and hazelnut flavour.
Aftertaste: Surprisingly bitter finish considering the low hop notes in the aroma.
Overall: Serve with roasted lamb, ratatouille, or other hearty, earthy dishes. A nice solid option from Louis Cifer.

Top Black And White Photographers Of All Time
Top Black And White Photographers Of All Time
Having Black and White Pictures . You must train your self to `see` in build (ignore the colors throughout front of your camera) if you want in order to become a pro from creating better grayscale pictures . One of the easiest black and white photography tips for studying to `see in tone` is to buy whether or not monochrome viewing filter, (sometimes referred to as the `black and white. seeing filter),` or even a pair associated with sunglasses with dark grey lenses. View the landscape that you wish in order to create a monochrome photograph regarding through the sunglasses (or the filter). The dim lens will help get rid of color, and make the particular background (subject) appear inside shades of tone compared to colored hues. This basic step alone will enhance your attempts at dark N white photography. Find out how other photographers `see in tone` in each of our free photo contest.
Black and White wine Photography Meaning. `The so this means of black N light photography` may appear primary to some folks. On the other hand to others, especially fresh photographers, it may certainly not be quite so apparent . For example, what is definitely the difference between `BandW photography` and the name `Monochrome Photography`? Is a monochrome photograph a monochrome photograph- and visa versa? The BandW photo is the monochrome photo. However, an individual could have a black and white photo that isn`t a grayscale photo. Confused? Let`s establish both. A black and even white photograph is a great image where all coloring has been removed (either in the digital method or through the selection of film). It is made up of shades of dreary tone that generally proceed from dark (black) in order to light (white). A black and white image also has the particular colour removed. But... this may not display tones of gray, which is definitely a requirement to end up being a grayscale image. A black and white image could be colours of yellow/red (also acknowledged as a sepia) or perhaps blue (which in the particular days of the darkroom was induced by making use of the chemical). So... a black and white image consists of shades (shades) of something (red, yellow, green, blue, in addition to so forth ) : not necessarily gray.
Monochrome Photography Techniques: The particular 5 Cornerstones. Contrast, Precisely what really does the foundation contrast mean exactly to be able to your monochrome photograph? This means that for an "average contrast" black and white colored photograph- there should become an easy gradation regarding tone from your deepest dark , through all of the shades associated with gray, and up towards the brightest white. How perform you produce this variety of photograph?. 1. Search for scenes with a great selection of color hues. Typically the colors in the image should be converted to grey tones; while having a new large various varying colours doesn`t necessarily guarantee some sort of good tonal range within the conversion- it`s a stage in the correct direction. An individual can use your glasses technique to confirm precisely how your colors are planning to `turn` in a color of tone. installment payments on your Steer clear of high contrast lighting. This particular is not to point out `always` avoid high compare lighting when producing grayscale photography. This really is saying while you practice the capacity of creating a total tonal range BandW photograph- with a balanced form a contrast ratio- avoid high distinction lighting. 3. When you start to be able to post-process your image document . Keep an eye about the Histogram. If your current edits cause the Histogram to develop `cuts` within the flow from shadow in order to highlight- this means you aren`t dropping tones. The even more cuts that the Histogram shows , and the tighter typically the graph becomes from still left to right- the significantly less tonal range and improved contrast your final picture is going to screen . Sometimes these `cuts`, or perhaps `drops` can`t be averted . Create as few regarding them as possible. If you would like create a "high contrast" photograph. Push the kept (shadow) and right (highlight) boundaries of the Histogram inward.
Simply by utilizing the "sunglasses technique", the photographer saw this amazing black and white make up of the Golden Gateway Bridge. However, you nevertheless require the 5 cornerstones to excel!. Before, all of us delve into the five monochrome cornerstones- let`s quickly talk about composition. In the event you read many blogs and even tutorials regarding black and white photography, these people will have an area on composition. This is usually somewhat misleading. Composition is usually important no matter in case the image is dark and white or shade . It is the `tools` of composition which could differ based on which channel (color or BandW) that you have been choosing. A good instrument of composition for a new color photograph may not necessarily apply to a black and white photograph of the similar scene. This is important, specially if your plan will be to convert the shade image to a dark and white image inside post-production. 4 of the particular 5 cornerstones for awesome BandW photography are `composition tools`. The tools may be applicable to coloring or BandW photography. On the other hand , they are particularly necessary for BandW photography!.
Monochrome Photography Tips The a few Cornerstones of All Excellent Monochrome Photos. Like GuruShots page So, you desire to create jaw-dropping, amazing, black and white photography- but you`re not confident how to start that . Anyone with a digicam can be creative in addition to develop a monochrome image. Even so , if you want to have your BandW photography excel, be this portraits, landscapes, still living , or any other issue matter- there are five cornerstone attributes that a person should try to infuse in to your black and bright pictures. In this post , we will cover: Simple Black and White Digital photography Concepts: Precisely what is Black in addition to White Photography, When as well as how to Take Better Black in addition to White Photographs, Developing Concepts for Black and White colored Photography. Advanced Black plus White Photography Techniques: Distinction , Tone, Shadow, Shape, Structure . Examples of the Sophisticated Photography Techniques in Employ : Landscape Photography, Street Picture taking , Architectural Photography, Abstract Pictures . Precisely what is Black and White wine / Monochrome Photography, Dark and white photography, from its simplest explanation, is usually the absence of virtually any color in the image . However is that the particular same as a black and white photograph?.
Coming Upwards with Delete word Black color and White photos. Let`s take a face it... you`re certainly not really `coming up along with ideas` for monochrome photographs . What you`re really performing is coming up using delete word a photo- period. Most of your concern while a black and whitened photographer should be... Exactly how do I photograph this specific scene, person, object, issue , or idea (that I use in my head) throughout a shot that shouts for the monochrome photo taking medium? Some subjects require colours- many don`t. When , you`ve made the choice that color is not really an important element in order to the art (artwork) that you are about to create- you aren`t all set to proceed utilizing the particular 5 cornerstones (we`re regarding to discuss), great illumination , and of course (always) considering the final make up
The way to Plan for the Very best Black and White Photographs . We`ve touched upon a number of techniques that would get part of the arranging process. However, let`s input it down into a listing form to ensure that it`s simple to remember. 1. Blast in the camera natural format (if you`re filming digital) so that your own original file may have the particular maximum dynamic range (ability to capture highlights to be able to shadows) versus a. JPEG file. You should often shoot in the uncooked file format (if feasible ... or shoot both formats). 2 . not Use the shades technique to establish that will your final image may have good contrast and tonal separation. (Very important regarding BandW film photographers while you are limited in tonal separation once a person have clicked the shutter release. ). 3. Organize the composition that utilizes because many of the a few cornerstones as possible- when also considering the some other tools of composition plus the lighting. 4. Produce a processing style of which results in an entire range of tone (should that become your wanted outcome). If your fashion is high contrast monochrome imaging- then you usually are planning to have an entire range of tone. The particular goal is to understand what you want, and next how to get generally there!
Any time to Use Black D White Photography. The concept of `when` to work with black and white photography is type of the misnomer. There are a few photographers that shoot just monochrome no matter just what the situation is. Today , there are certain scenarios that appear to lend on their own well for the black whitened photography medium. There probable isn`t a soul looking at this article that has not drooled over a wonderful monochrome landscape photograph. Of which being said... You can find wonderful examples of BandW image resolution from virtually every photo taking genre available. The crucial isn`t when should you use BandW photography, but instead precisely how to apply the a few cornerstones to your specific situation.

I wanted to changed the area next to my desk. I had an old cabinet that held VHS tapes and I put my printer and modem on the top of it. I wanted more room to organize stuff, so I went looking for something. I got a little cubical. I put it together and realized I wanted another to sit beside it. I went back and got another. They were easy to put together and I love them! It gives me a lot more room to store things in.
It looks exactly like this except I took the bluetooth keyboard off the bottom shelf and put it somewhere else. I also put down a rug. My floor is pretty messed up in that spot. I plan to get some wood cleaner/conditioner and go over that spot.
I really like this little set. I have a larger 9 opening cubical in another part of my room. These things are handy. You can use them for decorating or as a book shelf. In my case, both! ^_^

Oh my god he's so cute. Is it my imagination or was he crawling to the beat? We used to bounce Jasper to regae when he was an itty bitty colicky thing.. they love that beat don't they? I think I read it's usually 60 beats per minute similar to a human heartbeat so very soothing.
So you totally inspired me to take a video of the wierd thing Jasper does when he encounters a bed or a sofa.. he never crawls he just wants to lay down on it on his belly and head tunred to the side as if to snuggle his cheek into it. Then he wiggles his butt like he's dancing.. I can't even explain it which is why I'm goign to try to video it tomorrow!

Hi, I finaly manager to put together all the miniatues and yesterday I played my first game with my sister and a friend. I played as the consul and found that I have many questions. I hope the comunity can help me and sorry if they have been already asked. I tried to search them but think they are kind of "too specific"
- The maual says I have 19 monster cards. Does that include the spawn points or have I lost some cards already?
- Do the status tokens stack on a single model? (Multiple knockbacks for example)
- Do potions cost Action Points?
- Do healing cost Action Points?
- If I have 2 models on stage (The two ogres for example) but only 1 card, how do I manage their health? (I was thinking old school paper and pen)
- What does the potion number on a hero card mean? Potions he can use or potions he can hold?
- At the start of the consul turn, he spawns models. Can he move this models too or does he have to wait for the next turn?
- Can players trade loot and/or treasure?
- Can players give away loot and/or treasure?
Again, sorry if this has been asked before. I hope is not too much of a pain to answer this
Thanx in advance for your help

Numerous accounts of research have shown that diet and health are inextricably linked, but this is the point where clarity ends. Beyond this link, nutrition and food scatter through the opaque waters of commerce, federal regulations, conflicting health claims, and much more. New terms appear as information transmogrifies.
Nutraceutical is one such term that has freshly fortified the fickle food industry's claims to health. Dr. Stephen L. DeFelice, founder of the nonprofit, The Foundation for the Innovation in Medicine (FIM), defines a nutraceutical as "a food, dietary supplement or medical food that has a medical — health benefit including the prevention and treatment of disease". Probiotics are an example of a nutraceutical that has hit the food industry in recent times. But do these nutraceuticals actually offer all of the health benefits they assert?
This is the question skeptically expressed by many food scientists, activists, and consumers. Dr. DeFelice, whose profession is to research medical discovery, fuels this skepticism by stating that nutraceuticals have not undergone enough scientific testing to support health claims. His assertions are further substantiated by The American Nutraceutical Association (ANA), which states in an FAQ section that there are currently no FDA regulations or minimum manufacturing standards of practice specific to dietary supplements. Additionally, the manufacturer is responsible for ensuring the safety of the nutraceuticals found within products the company produces. The FDA only becomes involved once repeated complaints about a nutraceutical have surfaced.
Adding support to this argument is food activist and writer, Michael Pollan, who proclaims that nutraceuticals come from faulty assumptions in nutritional sciences. He states that current nutritional science views food as the sum of its parts. From this assumption, arises the idea that if a nutrient such as Omega 3 provides health benefits in fish, when added to other commonly consumed foods such as bread or milk, the health benefits will be comparable or better. Pollan elaborates further by stating that nutrients work together for a complete health benefit; therefore, separating nutrients and then mixing them with other ingredients does not necessarily yield the same health benefits.
Despite the contrary arguments around nutraceuticals, they continue to abound in our foods. Consumers can take a few steps to ensure that they are well informed about these purported healthful nutrients. For example, consumers can become members of Consumer Lab, which is an independent testing company that works to identify the best quality health products. With a nominal fee of $54/year, consumers can access in-depth testing results on the products and supplements they most commonly use. Membership to ANA can also provide consumers with a plethora of resources and information about nutraceuticals. ANA further recommends contacting the manufacturer of products with nutraceuticals to find out more information about their specific testing methods. These resources can lead to a better understanding of nutraceuticals, so consumers are enabled to decide for themselves what to believe.

Treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
by Ricker Polsdorfer, MD
The treatment and management of carpal tunnel syndrome requires that pressure in the carpal tunnel be reduced. There are several ways to do this. As with all health problems, the safest and simplest treatments are tried first. If your carpal tunnel syndrome is due to another treatable condition, such as diabetes or a hormone disorder, that condition may be treated first to see if the carpal tunnel syndrome resolves. To treat carpal tunnel syndrome directly, the options are:

????Contact the Fusion Center
PO Box 997377, MS 0514Sacramento CA 95899-7377
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services Public Health 3.0 report, the public health department of the future is one that plays the role as chief health strategist, convening a multitude of sectors to ensure health in all policies and wellbeing for all. Furthermore, the report calls for the creation of internal cross-disciplinary teams to create a horizontal leadership structure; a center unit housed within the department dedicated specifically to external relations, strategic development, and community engagement. CDPH has been an early adopter of this model through the creation of the Strategic Development and External Relations Fusion Center. The Fusion Center represents the vision for becoming the public health department of the future; one which is proactive, transparent, collaborative, outcome-driven, and able to respond to constantly changing conditions.
The Fusion Center has a multifaceted portfolio of projects, including:
Let's Get Healthy California (LGHC) outlines a plan to improve the health of all Californians over a ten-year period by addressing preventable and chronic conditions while decreasing disparities.
Health System Transformation Initiative reviews the latest local and federal policy and legislative actions and sets forward alignment across the department. ?? ?
Public Health 2035 (PH2035) (PDF) explores new approaches to public health relating to leadership, workforce, evaluation, and strategic partnership.

I think it's time for another kid approved recipe! This is honestly one of my favourite recipes. I make these for the kids and they love them. When I make these pancakes I make extras so I can put them in the fridge and eat them over the next few days. They refrigerate so well!! I know I have talked about these pancakes before on my social media but I wanted to write about them here, so people can copy the recipe easily. Before I go on anymore I have to give a huge shoutout to the woman whose blog I found this on, Ambitious Kitchen. She's got really amazing recipes and if you love baking food that's healthy and delicious please check out her blog.

This year, The Old Vic is celebrating its 200th birthday. And to mark the momentous occasion, an exhibition dedicated to the early National Theatre, which spent its formative years at The Old Vic, will open for a strictly limited time in the National's Lyttelton Lounge.
Having opened in 1818, The Old Vic has a rich history which has influenced London theatre immensely. Among its sizeable contributions to Theatreland is the birth of the National Theatre.
Though it's hard to imagine London theatre without it, the National Theatre was only established in 1963. It started at The Old Vic and remained there for its first 13 years.
The original theatre company led by Sir Laurence Olivier was made up of young and emerging actors, playwrights, designers and movement directors. Many of the members went on to have a significant impact not only on British theatre but on the development of 20th-century theatre as a whole. The 13-year period at The Old Vic witnessed productions of new writing, the creation of innovative stage designs and a dynamic approach to theatre-making never experienced before.
The exhibition has been curated by National Theatre Archive Associate Natasha Bonnelame. "The National Theatre's history at The Old Vic is fascinatingly global in its outlook," says Natasha. "Theatre makers from across the world connected in these tiny offices in Waterloo in 1960s London, and the outcome was seminal productions on The Old Vic stage which have defined theatre practice in the UK ever since. This exhibition celebrates this pioneering time in the history of both organisations."
Sound artist Jesc Bunyard has created a new sound artwork for the exhibition. It will be featured in the exhibition, inspired by archive materials from this time. "I am interested in capturing the history of the National Theatre and The Old Vic through sound and to use the sheer weight of voices to convey the dramatic history whilst providing a soundtrack to the exhibition," says Jesc. "The murmur of voices should follow the visitor around during their visit to the exhibition space in the Lyttelton Lounge."
The exhibition that highlights the extraordinary and innovative period in British theatre history will run from April to June. Entry to the exhibition will be free to all.

Filed under Out of my element, The Show, The Tyrant
The Tyrant and The Show have dreams of being dictators one day. They have different plans about how they will conquer the world. They even draw out plans for torture devices so that they can achieve their reign of terror. (I know, I am demented because I think it is cute.)
When we pass police cars on the side of the road, they will open the car windows and shout "World Domination" before ducking down in the back seat. It is the one thing that they do together without arguing. (If you saw how much these two argued, you would realize the magnitude of that statement….) One of their many schemes involved poisoning drinking water and selling the antidote to people who obeyed them. Another involved taking over a small country by showing them magic. I think our house is bug though… This was latest scheme. An exercise cult is what they called it but, the idea is the same. Sorry ladies… I guess this plan will fail.
6 Responses to "World Domination"
So funny!
It's amazing what kids can get away with when they're getting along; we're so grateful they're not fighting. I used to let my 7 year old (now 15) play the war video games with her 14 year old brother (which HE couldn't even play till he was at least 12) because I was so happy he was spending time with her and being good to her. She doesn't seem too damaged, but only time will tell.

An investigation has been launched into a "deliberate" fire at a derelict pub in Preston, say fire crews.
More top stories: Harris Children's Home home rapist found guilty 40 years after his crimes
More than 40 firefighters from across the county together with an aerial ladder platform and a command unit attended the blaze on Manchester Road.
Firefighters were called out to the former Beat Street Cafe just before 5am on Thursday, November 30 amid fears that people may have been trapped in the building.
Crews also faced an explosion risk after they discovered an LPG canister which had been stored at the rear of the property.
Manchester Road was closed between Avenham Lane and Church Street.
Watch manager for Preston fire station Mark Woodward said: "We initially set off with four fire engines but on arrival we were met by a very well developed fire.
"We immediately requested another two engines and an aerial ladder platform in case the fire spread into the roof.
"Crews with jets and hoses trained water onto the fire which was spreading around the building.
"We then quickly spotted an LPG canister at the rear of the property and immediately withdrew crews to a point of safety.
"We worked to cool the canister to reduce the risk of explosion.
"Once it was deemed safe we sent crews in to search the building as we were previously aware that the building had been used by squatters.
"Six firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the building and conducted a thorough search of all three floors and a basement. Nobody was found.
"Police and fire services have launched an investigation into the fire which is believed to have been started deliberately.
"This was a dangerous fire due to the LPG canister which our crews identified very quickly.
"The firefighters did very well to identify the risk, search the premises and extinguish the fire so quickly.
"The Salvation Army also provided the crews with hot drinks which helped keep us warm and kept our spirits up."
A joint fire and police investigation has been launched.
Manchester road was closed for several hours over concerns that the water used to fight the blaze could have turned to ice and caused a hazard.

HOLLYWOOD DAZE is a place to discover (and re-discover) the great City of Hollywood. We like cocktails, creativity, shopping, and little events that pop up spontaneously, art and all things culture, intense fitness but also cheeseburgers — we assume you do too.
Join us on our mission to unearth all the wonderful secrets that Hollywood keeps, as well as the pop songs it sings aloud.
El Centro, a new luxury apartment development, is setting the standard
for communal living and design for Hollywood. Showstopping amenities such as a
44-foot saltwater pool and lush botanical gardens, as well as smaller details
such as Caesarstone countertops, oak flooring, and custom cabinetry come
together in an elegant environment that goes beyond treating apartments as
isolated spaces and delivers something more like a neighborhood. The result is
a unique and fresh take on living in Hollywood.
Helming El Centro's visionary aesthetic are the design wizards at Commune, an LA-based studio that brings a wealth of design experience from residential development projects and, with Ace and Standard hotels in their design portfolio, a fascinating history with hospitality clients. We sat down with Steven Johanknecht, the studio's cofounder, to talk about Commune and the process of developing a vision for El Centro.
Tell us a little bit about Commune.
Commune was founded by four friends in 2004.
Commune stands for community: a community of like-minded architects, interior
designers, graphic designers, consultants, and artisans. We were inspired by
the Bauhaus and the Eames Studio. We represent a multidisciplinary and holistic
approach to design.
How would you describe Commune's design philosophy?
Appropriate, Diverse, Relaxed, Elegant,
What was your vision for El Centro?
The El Centro project was about creating a
sense of neighborhood in the heart of Hollywood. We focused on what the overall
experience would be and, in our design process, considered the big picture as
well as the small details. We tried to avoid trends and gimmicks and worked to
create a space that would age well over time. We envisioned apartment designs
and comfortable amenity spaces that tenants would actually want to use and
spend time in.
How did the Hollywood location impact your
Hollywood has become a more vibrant community
in the past few years. It's an exciting urban environment with proximity to the
hills and hiking. The location on Hollywood Boulevard meant that our design for
the project needed to be experienced one way on the street level and transform
into something else for residents. The retail façade level has a relationship to
the street and is distinctly urban, more akin to the experience of apartment
buildings in NYC. On the residential level, the buildings are arranged around
landscaped outdoor plazas and walkways with amenity spaces such as a gym, yoga
studio, outdoor saltwater swimming pool, hot tub, and sunbathing decks. We
focused on how the areas connected, creating a whole community and neighborhood
just above street level.
What atmosphere were you looking to create throughout
El Centro?
How places feel is just as important as how
they look. We wanted to create interiors that feel relaxed and modern and that
age well over time. We were inspired by the colors of Southern California, the
earth and nature, with a bit more intensity for a distinctive statement in the
urban Hollywood location. We also were inspired by the saturated color in work
of legendary architects Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragan. The buildings
provide the backdrop for the incredible landscape and the cactus garden that
weaves throughout the property. The color of the interior fabrics and
furnishings in the common spaces are also inspired by and rooted in nature. In
the apartments, the kitchen and bathroom designs are simple and efficient. The
finishes are simple and understated with matte finishes. We wanted to create a
good backdrop for various tenants' personal style and furnishings.
Do you have a favorite design element at El
The Sunroom adjacent to the pool is a really wonderful space to be in. It's hard to believe Hollywood Boulevard is bustling just below.
As a designer, what periods or architectural
styles do you find most inspiring?
We are fortunate to work on really diverse
projects that provide the opportunity to explore different styles. I love the
Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modernism, as well as the work of Donald Judd and hand
crafted artisans. I always like to be exposed to something new.
What advice would you give to someone looking to design
a smaller space, such as an apartment?
For interior furnishings, invest in a few
good pieces. You will end up having them for a long time. Sometimes a few
larger pieces make the room. Good lighting and a nice rug are key. It's
important to have a place you love that feels like home.
Who are some of your favorite local
Photographer Spencer Lowell and sculptor
Bradley Duncan come to mind, and both have a couple of pieces in El Centro!
How do you stay inspired?
I keep looking. There are so many interesting
things happening in LA these days. I also have a big collection of books on art
and design. Every time I pick one up, I discover something I hadn't noticed
