Heavy as all hell so now wind is going to pick it up, large nets that go high up and keep the kids away from the springs which have pads over them.
Have had no problems at all with both the kids on it at the same time (they are now 3 years old), no broken bones, knocks or injuries of any sort.
If you are worried about injuries, just make sure you keep an eye on the kids at all times.
But as for us, probably the best thing we have bought the kids entertainment wise, it gets far more use than their trikes, bikes and scooters.
We had the old school no pads, n nets type when we grew up, and three boys playing on that, double bouncing each other higher for a decade or more and not one injury of any sort either.

Match ends, Arsenal 5, Aston Villa 0.
Arsenal 5-0 Aston Villa
- From the section Football
- Arsenal score five for the first time this season
- Gunners level with Southampton on 42 points
- Bellerin's goal is his first in professional football
- Villa have now gone six league games without a goal
Arsenal moved above Tottenham to fifth in the Premier League courtesy of an emphatic victory over struggling Aston Villa.
The Gunners dominated and took the lead when Olivier Giroud collected Mesut Ozil's neat flick and finished well.
Santi Cazorla's shot struck the post before well-taken finishes from Ozil and Theo Walcott made it 3-0.
Giroud hit the bar with a header before Cazorla fired home a penalty and Hector Bellerin made it 5-0 from 30 yards out.
|MOTD2 analysis
|Martin Keown: "There were many calls for Arsenal to sign a new defensive midfielder before this transfer window opened but, in the last few weeks, they have found a new way to win without needing new players to do it."
|Read more: 'How Arsenal became more solid without a signing'
It is the first time Arsenal have hit five goals in a match this season and completes a hat-trick of successive league victories for Arsene Wenger's side.
The Gunners have now claimed 19 points out of a possible 24, have not conceded in their last three league games and, with significant players returning from injury, are in a strong position to make a push for a 19th successive top-four finish.
Even without injured leading scorer Alexis Sanchez, the home side had too much quality for Villa.
Ozil, starting his first league game since October following a knee injury, was lively, producing a deft flick to set up Giroud for the first goal eight minutes into the first half.
He then collected a pass from the French striker and finished low into the corner of the net in the early stages of the second half.
|Villa's bogeyman
|All four of the goals Mesut Ozil has been involved in this Premier League season have been against Aston Villa (two goals, two assists).
Walcott also continued his rehabilitation in impressive fashion, adding to his goal in the FA Cup win at Brighton last week with a curling finish from inside the box.
And Cazorla capped off another fine display by firing a penalty through the grasp of Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who had fouled substitute Chuba Akpom.
Bellerin has been quietly establishing himself as an effective full-back in recent weeks and his low, driven goal from more than 30 yards out in stoppage time was arguably the pick of the bunch.
Villa have a decent record at the Emirates, having claimed three wins at the ground, including a 3-1 victory on the opening day of last season, but they are a team woefully short of goals and confidence.
Paul Lambert's side have now gone eight league games without a win, six top-flight matches without a goal and remain just three points above the relegation zone.
They had one superb chance with the score at 1-0, but David Ospina saved Andreas Weimann's close-range header.
And by the time Gabriel Agbonlahor and new signing Scott Sinclair were introduced from the bench midway through the second half, the game was already lost.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "It was positive because we kept a clean sheet. We know we can score goals. We needed to be patient because they tried to stop us going forward. With time going on we had a chance to play through their lines and that made the difference.
"You cannot fault anyone's performance. Mesut [Ozil] did well. It takes a while to get that sharpness back.
"We had a rigorous attitude defensively. Even at 4-0, 5-0 up people were willing to work back. We want to play collectively and offensively to the end."

TIGER WOODS insists being able to actively participate in his children's upbringing is more important to him than golf.
The former world No.1, who recently had a third operation on his back, is also adamant he will not have any more surgery – even if it means quitting the sport.
The 39-year-old said: "I don't want to stop playing golf but the flip side is my kids' lives are more important to me.
"Now, if I can do both, that is an ideal world. It's a win win. If I can only do one it wouldn't be golf . It would be my kids. That's still a win win.
"My kids are more important than golf. I've come to realise that now. To watch my kids play sports and to grow up and participate and even teach them how to become better, oh my God, it gives me so much joy. I can't imagine not being able to do that as I get older.
"That to me is special. Now I know what my dad felt like when we'd go out there and play nine holes in the dark."
Woods also said that his relationship with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren is now fantastic following their divorce in 2010 after revelations about his infidelities.
He added: "I've taken the initiative with the kids and told them up front, 'Guys, the reason why we're not in the same house, why we don't live under the same roof, Mommy and Daddy, is because Daddy made some mistakes'.
"I want them to understand before they get to internet age and they log on to something or have their friends tell them something. I want it to come from me so that when they come of age I'll just tell them the real story."
Asked if he was now less uptight about retirement he added: "It's not what I want to happen but if it does it does."
Woods won the last of his Majors in 2008 and is ranked 400th in the world but insists he can compete at the highest level again despite turning 40 on December 30.
The 14-time Major winner, who has already been named a vice-captain for the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, added: "I have to get healthy in order to do it though. I don't think I'll ever be 100 per cent but as close as you can to it, that would be nice.
"As long as I don't have pain I don't think there'll be an issue. I'll probably play through a little bit of pain. As you get older you have more aches and pains.
"But I don't need more surgery, period. Let's just not go down that road ever again. Seven's enough. Four knees, three backs, that's enough."

The production process of PVC membrane is open package, inspection, screening, formula mixing, granulation, extrusion thick film, air cooling, hot water bath, boiling water heating, shaping cylinder transverse blowing, clamping film roller extinguishing foam, and forming heat shrinkable film.
PVC production process is not complicated, the ordinary production line consists of roller press, printing machine, back coating machine and cutting machine, mainly through direct stirring roller, roller rotation and high temperature rolling production film thickness is only 0.3 mm to 0.7mm, and through the production at the same time the printing machine in front the color film, through the back coating machine in the back of the membrane attached to a layer of back coating. Do not underestimate this layer of back coating, it is an important guarantee for the quality of PVC film. Back coating made of special material, is a kind of high affinity agent, it is because of this layer back coating PVC film can be tightly and MDF or other plates together, ten years or even fifteen years is not open. And the biggest problem of ordinary sticking mask is unable to solve the problem of film shedding. Because of the whole production process is at a high temperature (the temperature rolling machine reaches 220 degrees) carried out, which makes PVC film with high resistance to photobleaching and refractory, ensure the high quality of PVC film.

"O come, let us adore Him!", "Come and behold Him!", "Come to the manger!" (from Christmas carols)
More than ever, nativity scenes at Christmastime capture my interest. I appreciate their presence in our current cultural landscape, which shouts over quiet miracles like Christ's birth. But how do I myself capture the fervency of the clarion call, "O come, let us adore Him"? What compels me to respond with wide-eyed resolve, like the shepherds who said,
Luke 2:15b – Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. (NIV)
Disney's The Lion King effectively conveys this fervency. It opens with an announcement resounding all over the land. The stirring animation draws the audience into the mood of expectancy. All the creatures essentially say, "Let's go and see this thing that has happened", and they set out with fervent resolve. We soon discover what it's about: A lion cub, Simba, has been born to the king of the beasts. When the animals see their future king raised before them, they erupt in joyous cheers. Then comes a breathtaking moment: Together they lower their heads to the ground in reverent adulation. The stunning scene makes me wonder, Can I ever worship Christ the newborn king with such passionate adoration? I believe so — by appreciating the miracle of birth as Jesus described to Nicodemus:
John 3:6-8 – Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, "You must be born again." The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. (NIV)
Here, Jesus portrays spiritual regeneration as a birthing: The Spirit births new life within people; it is the abundant life of the Son. When we see the growth of Christlike qualities, we are essentially witnessing a royal viewing. It is evidence of the King's Son governing His people. Yet, unlike Simba's grand royal viewing, the work of God is often hidden from the spotlight. We can't see where the wind of the Spirit blows. The Baby Jesus was also hidden from the spotlight. No one found the Child without God's help. For them, the royal viewing was in itself a miracle.
I often ask God to show me where He is working, so that I may be strengthened in faith. God answers my prayer by connecting me with those whom I'd never find otherwise. I cannot help but respond with grateful praise and adoration. I say, the God who helped the shepherds and the Magi find Baby Jesus can help you and me to discover His presence at work today.
Prayer: O Lord, open our eyes, our ears, and our minds to the miracle of Your presence in this world today that we may respond with grateful worship and adoration. Amen.
"O come, let us adore Him!", "Come and behold Him!", "Come to the manger!" (from Christmas carols)
Thanks for the good word, Diane. Have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you, Diane.
As always, so very thoughtful.
Good morning Diane,
Thank you always for your thoughtful and challenging devotionals.
Your devotions are always enlightening. Today you have awakened a renewed spirit in us.
Thank you.
Merry Blessed Christmas.
Dear Dianne
Outstanding! Praise be to God for this amazing miracle! I am so grateful to people like you who spread His love and joy everywhere.
God Bless You. Thank you for being here with me as I read this beautiful devotional.
Thank you.
Amen and Amen, Diane. O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! Have a blessed Christmas and joy filled New Year. Blessings.
Thanks Diane, always a well-thought-out message. Indeed, I am still trying to figure out who I am NOW with the changes in my life, and, what is God doing with and in and through me.
Dear Diane,
Such a very fine devotional.
You say, "I often ask God to show me where He is working, …" I think I should ask God to put me where he is working, and that he will put me where He is working in spirit and in prayer, even when it cannot be in body.
I want to read the devotional over again.
Dear Diane,
More often than not, when I read the daily devotional and say to myself "That's well-written," the name at the bottom is yours. I thought your analogy to "The Lion King" in "The Royal Viewing" was vivid and apt.
Thank you for using your considerable talents to bless the readers of PresbyCan devotionals.

I am going to step away from the timeline of how I got to today and give a current sitrep. I will return to that eventful Thursday later.
There is a frost predicted for Sunday night so there are things that needed to be done in thegarden. I have a helper coming in Monday but that will be too late so I dragged myself off the couch and figured I would at least make an attempt and if the best I had wasn't enough then at least I would have tried.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had about two hours of light physical work in me, something I hadn't been able to do for almost three weeks. Between being swollen with ascites, having pneumonia and not being able to eat for 5 days, physicality had been challenging.
I was able to harvest some tomatoes and bitter melon and cover my cucumbers (which were a late planting and still cranking), sweet potatoes, fig, a few tomatoes that aren't completely blighted yet, and my peppers to protect them from frost. If you dodge the first frost you can typically get another couple of weeks of production from some things so worth covering. Winter squash isn't going to do anything in the coolness anyway so I let them go, picking the fruit.
I had been advised that I would feel better after starting dialysis but while I was certainly better than when I was laying in the hospital I had been dragging my a– and not feeling like I wanted to take anything on.
The orientation booklet the dialysis center gave me said that while people do drive themselves you should make arrangements to be driven for at least the first two weeks as you don't know how your body is going to adjust and it does take a while, different people react differently. My community has come together to help with the 30 minute one way drive. There are lots of volunteers to take me so all the weight doesn't fall on Vidya.
Bhakta Mike drove me the second trip to the center. As I was walking out to the car after I was trying to evaluate whether I could have driven myself. I was exhausted but felt in a pinch I could have. However, as we drove away a wave of intense emotion flooded over me and I started sobbing. It passed fairly quickly but had I been driving it would have been bad.
I couldn't tell if it was my false ego lamenting at the loss of my freedom or joy at having the opportunity to continue to live and work on the Madhuban project, but it was aliveness. In any case, one reaction I seem to be having is a hormonal imbalance so I can see why they said have a driver.
When you do dialysis they pump all your blood through a filter. The kidneys are a filter that balances electrolytes and removes toxins. If they don't function your body poisons itself.
This is what happened to Srila Prabhupada who left his body due to kidney failure. He didn't have access to dialysis. As he noted, he was being poisoned.
The other thing the kidneys do is make erythropoietin which is a hormone essential for production of red blood cells. Oxygen is carried to the muscles by red blood cells. As they die off and don't get replaced you become anemic and tired all the time. I have been there for a while, and it had gotten bad enough that the doctors had prescribed Epocrit for me. Epocrit is the man made equivalent and it stimulates red blood cell production. It is monitored by blood testing of hemoglobin levels. I was told once I started dialysis the level would be monitored by the staff and they would administer the Epocrit.
FYI, Epocrit is something athletes use because with more red blood cells they have greater endurance. That is called blood doping.
My level had been managed to be between 10 and 12. A normal healthy male will have a level of over 13 but because of side effects they don't target that. The second time I was at the center I had heard them say my level was 8 so I assumed they had supplemented it.
The third time I there, the most recent, I saw that at one point they shot something into the IV and asked what it was. I was told Epocrit, so to that point I still hadn't gotten it. That was yesterday and because I felt better to work for a while it must have started kicking in.
That is a little enlivening because prior to that I thought they had already given it me and where I was energywise was where I would be, but knowing they hadn't given me any before I have hope I may get stronger still.
When you finish dialysis, 300 ml of blood remains in the tubing, 900 ml = a quart. Which means every week you leave a quart of blood behind. That is the cost of admission to the world of dialysis.
So I had given a quart of blood in my first three sessions and gotten no erythropoietin to replace it. Now that they have started to administer it, I hope I can have more days like I had, or maybe even better days,
When I went to the ER initially with the shortness of breath, I weighed 170 lbs (77 k). During the week I continued to accumulate fluid and got to 172. They take fluid off at dialysis and then I gain some back between. Each time they take a little more off then I have gained back. After the last session I was 152 lbs (69 k).
They say I still have more fluid to lose and they still have not determined my dry weight. They can only take off a little more each session because they say if they take too much off it can be bad.
Breathing is no longer an issue and it is easier walking around being 18 lbs (8 k) lighter. If I can get my energy levels up I may even stop resenting dialysis.

As the first half of 2018 draws to a close, Harpers asked key trade figures to highlight the current challenges, on-going trends and opportunities
We continue our series with insights from Mark Roberts, head of sales, Lanchester Wines
How has the first half of 2018 compared to 2017?
Any successful business operating must continually evaluate, learn and adapt, and at the beginning of 2017 we were continuing through a transition phase inwardly investing in our people, our portfolio and our property.
The start of 2018 has certainly seen us reap the benefit of these investments: we recruited strategically and these appointments are now fully operational; we now have a fuller, more relevant portfolio including additional premium and old world ranges; and we've consolidated our buying team increasing efficiencies.
We've also invested heavily in our North East headquarters and four warehouses which have benefitted from over £8 million investment in renewable heat and energy generation which not only massively reduces ours, and our customers, carbon footprint but also reduces overheads.
We are performing well within a very competitive environment and these have been conscious and considered changes to our operation.
What, currently, are the biggest challenges for the trade (excluding Brexit)?
The biggest challenge for any business is making sure we truly understand what the consumer really wants. B2B businesses rarely deal with consumers directly, so it's vital we build two-way dialogue with our customers to understand what products their customers are purchasing and requesting. And, it's always vital we look to the future in order to develop the products our customers' customers will want in six to twelve months' time.
As with many other suppliers in the trade, we continuously track emerging trends and consumer insights - both within the wine sector and through general lifestyle choices including food trends, interior designs and health – to truly get under the skin of the person who will be buying our wines.
There's no point in investing heavily in a new product which may look great on the shelf or bar, but just isn't want the consumer wants. And, likewise - a wine could have all the medals in the world, but if it's not what the consumer wants then we need to question if it's a wine we should be selling.
What outcome would you like to see from Brexit and why?
I'd like to see a quick outcome from Brexit as it's this lack of certainty, which is causing trouble for business – we simply can't plan for the unknown. Aside from potential upcoming tariffs, the obvious present impact of Brexit is FX, which is affecting day-to-day operation, not just for us and the entire wine trade, but for every business dealing internationally.
What's your strategy for the second half of the year, through autumn and leading up to the Christmas trading period?
The continuation of our steady growth across all channels is our core focus through fully utilising our now robust sales and commercial team. We're also looking to finalise our premium old world portfolio and further ongoing development of customer partnership, which focus on both wine and sustainability.
What will be your main focus during this time?
Aside from the aforementioned continuation of sustainable growth across all channels, we have a particular focus on export via our newly restructured export division. Lanchester Wines has experience exporting to every continent and we're building on this knowledge to drive further sales overseas.
Are there any specific challenges that you're planning for?
Our biggest challenge is obviously wine supply and bulk demand caused by the culmination of poor vintages, greater demand for bulk wine in other markets and uncertainty on currency, which is intrinsically linked to Brexit.
While each of these factors are out of our control, we continue to put measures in place to protect ourselves and our customers, including sourcing from alternative countries – for example, three years ago we moved to Moldovan Pinot Grigio, sales of which continue to soar due to the excellent quality and highly competitive pricing.
Any specific trends you anticipate?
Based on our strategy for the second half of the year, we're looking at how we can influence the wine market with our sustainability message. We've spent the last six years focusing on how we can minimise our use of fossil fuels through generation of our own renewable wind and solar energy, and renewable heating through air and water. Sustainability and green thinking is becoming increasingly important for both our customer and supplier, and we are uniquely placed within the wine trade.
Which channels are likely to perform best and which will be under the greatest stress and why?
For us, Lanchester sits and operates within every channel of the UK and export wine market. We see growth across all channels, particularly PubCos, online, gifting and export, but we understand retailers will continue to feel the pressure of pricing. We believe there'll be yet more consolidation of range and offering in the retail market.
How optimistic are you – will business for the drinks trade be better or worse between now and 1 Jan 2019 compared with last year and why?
I'm hopeful that by the end of the year, the wine trade as a whole will be in a better place to move forward. However, we foresee yet more mergers, buy ups, fall outs and consolidation of companies. Saying that, a lot of lessons have been learned this year about how to structure sustainable deals within the wine business while still being able to offer up quality and consistency on wine.

New Zealand authorities are searching for an Australian man who fled the country in a catamaran with his six-year-old daughter.
Alan Langdon, 46, and Que, 6, set off from Kawhia, a town on the west coast of the North Island, on December 17.
Border alerts are in place and New Zealand police are working with Interpol.
Mr Langdon's bank accounts and phone records are also being monitored.
He was reportedly involved in a custody dispute with the girl's mother, Ariane Wyler.
Ms Wyler claims to have not seen her daughter in 20 months and has hired child recovery specialist Col Chapman.
"I am deeply distressed about this current situation and miss my daughter Que greatly," she told the New Zealand Herald.
"I am strongly convinced that they both are alive, well and safe. I believe in Alan Langdon and his capabilities as a seagoing person. My gut feeling tells me that they are further offshore to the west."
Mr Chapman believes Mr Langdon has made a dash for Australia.
"He's announced to many people, friends, family, that this boat will make it to Australia and back 10 times, no problem," Mr Langdon said.
"Some people say the boat was heavily stocked to the gunnels with no room left... and stores for over 30 days."
Mr Chapman believes it would take 30 days to cross the Tasman Sea in Mr Langdon's six metre wooden Tiki catamaran.

Cyberwellness Programme
The term 'Cyberwellness' refers to the positive well-being of the users of the internet. Through the cyberwellness activities such as Workshops, Assembly Talks, Parent Talks and CME lessons conducted in our school, Cedarians are constantly reminded of the risks of harmful online behaviour and are given practical tips on how to best protect themselves and others from such behaviours. This is extremely important in this Digital Age as pupils have access to the internet 24/7 and must shown discernment in what they surf and respect for those they interact with .
The Cedar Girls' Cyberwellness programme is in alignment with MOE's Cyberwellness Framework (http://ict.edumall.sg/cyberwellness/). The framework focuses on developing the child's instinct to protect herself and empowers her to take personal responsibility for her own well-being in cyberspace. With the alignment to the framework.

A SUPERMARKET customer took the meaning of 'bag for life' literally after amazing staff with a 50-year-old carrier.
When the man walked into his local Sainsbury's store in Ponteland, Northumberland, he excitedly showed staff what he had found in his garage.
Still in great condition and perfectly useable, the bag is a window to a time before the orange and plum colours now synonymous with the supermarket giant, and when bags for life were really built to be exactly that.
As a treat on a trip to Nottingham 49 years ago, the customer, Mr Collins, was taken to Sainsbury's which at the time was still very much a southern store, and had not entered the North East.
As a memento of the novelty, he bought the bag with the store's logo on it, and took it back home to Ponteland.
But it then got lost in his garage and was forgotten about for decades, until he was recently clearing out and came across it again.
He took it along to show staff at the Bell Villas store who were interested to see how things had changed over the years, both in Sainsbury's and the way we shop generally.
Store manager Jason Harmer said: "It was great for me to see it. It's not even our colours anymore. That was black and yellow, and fully waxed.
"He found it in his garage when he was clearing out his home. I made a bit of a fuss of it and gave him some chocolates. We've gone totally the opposite way now; you can see through them. It was really interesting to see it.
"He's a regular customer and came in one day to say he had found an old Sainsbury's bag, and wanted to show us it. You used to go with your bag and hand over your list, and they would fill it for you and you'd pay at the end. It brought it all back for him.
"The reason he kept it was because it was a southern-based shop, so for people in Ponteland it was like a Harrod's. It was someone who lived down south who took him to a Sainsbury's.
"I do a lot of work with the community with charities and church groups and provide the teas and coffees, so that's how we had the link. People come in and share their experiences. If every store helped their own community, then we help the whole of the UK, so we focus on what's important to the community where your shop is."
And Mr Collins still got his nectar points for using his own bag.

Albert Schweitzer (14 January 1875 – 4 September 1965) was an Alsatian polymath. He was a theologian, organist, writer, humanitarian, philosopher, and physician. A Lutheran, Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of Jesus as depicted by the historical-critical method current at this time, as well as the traditional Christian view. His contributions to the interpretation of Pauline Christianity concern the role of Paul's mysticism of "being in Christ" as primary and the doctrine of Justification by Faith as secondary.
from Wikipedia
You may find more from Albert Schweitzer on Wikiquote
It was quite incomprehensible to me …why in my evening prayers I should pray for human beings only. So when my mother had prayed with me and had kissed me goodnight, I used to add silently a prayer that I had composed myself for all living creatures. It ran thus: "O Heavenly Father, protect and bless all things that have breath; guard them from all evil, and let them sleep in peace. "
Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit.The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread.But the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by thought.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Mankind is made great or little by its own will.

The Art of Urban Cycling by Robert Hurst
This is a book about how to bike in the city. There are a couple of dogmatic schools of thought about how you're supposed to bike in the city (the Vehicular school and the Invisible school) and Hurst pretty much dismantles them both. He is very pragmatic, about where to bike, when to bike, how to stay safe, and how to relate to other vehicles. He has a very calm, accepting philosophy about how things are and argues that you are better off working within reality rather than spending a great deal of time being angry at it. In that sense this is an excellent guide to how to live, as well as how to bike.
He did piss me off at the end by dissing my bike (I will paraphrase because I don't have the book with me: "Comfort bikes seem to be designed for people who want to bike while maintaining as much of a feeling of sitting on the couch as possible.") Okay, that's kind of why I bought my bike, but it still smarts.
Having said that, though, later he talks about how your bike should fit, and says that your weight should be equally distributed on your hands, your feet and your butt, and it's when beginners don't realize that that they are uncomfortable and decide to stop biking. Well, duh, I bought my bike with the big seat so that I could sit all my weight on my butt, and lo and behold, it's never really comfortable.
So next time I go out I will try and balance my weight better (I think I will have to adjust a bunch of stuff, because right now the handlebars are pretty high and the seat is pretty low.) I think, though, that that means biking is a lot more work than I thought it was. On the other hand, that means that if I bike more it will make me much stronger and fitter than I thought it would.

Film Transfer - 8mm - Super 8 - 16mm:
Let us help you bring your memories back to life to easily enjoy and share with your family and friends! We have over 30 years of experience in transferring film and will work with you to create the finished product that's right for you. Feel free to call, e-mail, or make an appointment to bring your film in for a free written estimate. We will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
We do all work in our facility. Your film never leaves the building and is always returned to you, in better shape than when you bring it in. We recommended that you keep and continue to care for your original films by storing them in a cool and dry location, off the floor. We encourage everyone to pass down any materials such as film, video, photos and slides to your next of kin to continue the preservation of your family history. Believe it or not, film is one of the best formats! It's the only media that has been proven to last over 100 years if stored properly. However, it's not always easy to watch, so that's where we come in to help:
Our transfer process starts with a full inspection of your film. We will repair & splice broken spots as needed, and consolidate the film on larger reels if not already spliced together. We then clean the film using a special film cleaner that also polishes & waxes the film to further extend it's life. This also ensures a smooth, clear & sharp transfer. The film is digitized (without projecting) straight into our editing software, continuously monitoring to ensure that color & brightness are as consistent as possible throughout the film.
Once your transfer is complete, any unexposed/blank footage is edited out. We can output the content to any format, consumer or broadcast quality: fully authored DVD (including menu, chapter markers, and non-copywritten music if you wish), MiniDV, BetaSP, DigiBeta, or to a digital hard drive with files for each reel. These files can be used to view on your computer and mobile devices, to do your own editing, or just to further archive.
We provide additional in-house editing services to further customize your project, with hardly any limits! After your film is imported, simply make an appointment, where you'll sit with our friendly staff in a comfortable environment as we go through your film on the computer. You may want to add titles at the beginning of your reels, or subtitle over the film to identify family members or places. We can also edit out unwanted scenes, and/or arrange them so they are in chronological order.
You may also wish to add narration, still photos, slides, or other media formats, or color correct film that has shifted from chemical breakdown over time. For more complex projects such as this, we are fully prepared to assist you with our professional editing facilities to suit any of your advanced needs.
We take the utmost care in handling your family's history and take great pride and interest in creating your home movie memories.
Pricing is based on how many feet of film you have. Call or make an appointment to bring in your film and get a free estimate.
Please allow approximately 4 weeks to complete your transfer. Rush orders available at an additional fee.
Call (615) 383-3150 or email email@example.com to set up an appointment.

Filed under: St Paul
OK – maybe she isn't singled-handedly leading the effort – but she's there in the front row and I'm super proud of her. The MN School Walkout is a student-led effort to raise awareness and protest gun violence – especially in the wake of the school shooting in Florida last month. Apparently there were 15 schools participating. I saw that 770 people had signed up to participate as of yesterday. I'm terrible with estimating crowd size but I heard there were 2,000 students.
Kate worked with her school (CDH) to get involved. In fact, Kate was one of a few students interviewed for an Editorial in the Pioneer Press. For the CDH kids, the walkout started around 10:30; they walked (or drove) to Central High School where they met with the rest of the group and walked to the Capitol.
I caught up with them midway; I was Tweeting for the Women's March at the event. They marched to the Capitol – cheered and then moved to the Leif Erickson Park (next door to the Capitol) for a rally. Their signs were great. They kids were super enthusiastic. Plenty of legislators watched and I talked to a few who also had kids in the crowd. People were proud and optimistic for our future to have kids so ready to rally. I couldn't hear much of the speakers – but there was plenty of cheers. It was chilly (20 degrees and windy) and the park was covered in deep snow but the kids persisted.
Kudos to CDH for embracing the opportunity. I got a call saying Kate was missing from school, that many students were going to the walkout and that the school was OK with it. Please contact the school if as a parent you weren't OK with it and your kid would get Saturday detention.
There was one odd duck in the crowd promoting "Castle Laws" but I have to give him props – he's exercising his right to free speech!

Entrepreneurship and Religion
Edited by Léo-Paul Dana
Chapter 1: Religious Merchants?
Edwina Pio
Edwina Pio INTRODUCTION Religion is carved into the lives of Indians and finds expression in multifarious ways in day-to-day practices such as morning prayers, offerings to deities and religious observances. Religion is also a driving force for entrepreneurship among certain sections of Indian society, based on caste affiliation. India is a secular democratic republic where 80.5 per cent of Indians are Hindus, 13.4 per cent are Muslim, 2.3 per cent are Christian, 1.9 per cent are Sikh, 0.8 per cent are Buddhist, 0.4 per cent are Jain, 0.6 are other religious persuasions (e.g. Jews and Parsis/Zoroastrians), and 0.1 per cent are those who have not stated a religion (Census India, 2001). Through interaction, research and observation in India, as well as through extant scholarship, it can be argued that there is a strong nexus between the temple and the bazaar for India's entrepreneurs. In this chapter, religion and spirituality will be intertwined, for religion is seen as the outward expression of value systems that are deemed spiritual which emanate from charity (dana), devotion (bhakti), destiny (karma), duty (dharma), nonviolence (ahimsa), the meritless deed (nishkamakarma) and service (seva). Noble Prize winner Amartya Sen's (2005; 2006) arguments concerning the portrayal of India by the West indicate that the creation of the image of India changed as the British consolidated their power in colonial times. Thus from an early image of Indian's having tremendous knowledge with an ancient civilization rich with philosophy, advances in medicine, astronomy and mathematics, it changed to that of...

Imagine, if you will, a small food market with about 200 items, including the staples: milk, fresh produce, eggs, bread and toiletries. Instead of cashiers, stock personnel and managers, however, shoppers order via a screen and all products are delivered to a pick up window via robotics, and you pay for your groceries via an electronic point-of-sale device.
This may sound like some sort of sci-fi dystopia where humans rely on robots to get their food, but the reality is more akin to a giant vending machine. And Eat Greater Des Moines, a local non-profit focused on enhancing the local food scene in central Iowa, sees it as an avenue for improving access to healthy food and necessities in a neighborhood that doesn't have enough. The organization plans to approach the city's Plan and Zoning Commission in July to bring a 26-square-foot automated store to the Polk County Health Department parking lot.
Created by Oasis24seven, the automated shop will be bulletproof with surveillance cameras to protect its stock. Ok, so maybe that sounds a bit dystopian, but the real benefit lies in the fact that the shop can provide fresh produce and foods to a historically underserved community without needing to pay employees to watch over the store.
Zoning commission members have been excited, according to Aubrey Alvarez, head of Eat Greater Des Moines: "I think a lot of people are excited to see it up and running, and to see if it's going to work." She also intends to pass the project along to a local grocery business if the concept proves successful.
Supermarkets have already adopted self-payment kiosks, and as we've seen in the past year, from robotic farming to drone-assisted agriculture, the food industry is becoming more and more embroiled in emerging technology. Do you think a project like this could lead to a revolution around the country?

Tirupati is one of the world's largest pilgrimage destinations and is located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. Whether purposes of pilgrimage or sightseeing, it is a must visit while traveling in Andhra Pradesh as the century old temples have a very interesting cultural and historical background. More than 50,000 pilgrims visit each day and the temples are alluring in their glory and serenity among the noise.
During the festive season, the vivid colours and culture of this city are enhanced and it is a stupendous sight, with thousands coming in to perform the various traditions.
Tirupati Balaji is located at a distance of approximately 560 kms from Hyderabad and the journey there takes a little more than 10 hours. While there are many ways to reach this destination such as train and bus, they are often extremely crowded and the most convenient option is by booking a cab.
A private rental car from Hyderabad to Tirupati Balaji ensures that one travels in ultimate comfort and safety. Our car rentals also allows for more flexibility in terms of stops, sightseeing and preferences.
The distance is appropriate for both night and day journeys from Hyderabad and we provide safe and cozy private taxis along with courteous drivers for both. Since the visit to the main Tirumala Balaji temple and other nearby temples can get very tiring, booking a cab will save more time and allows the traveller to get adequate amount of rest before the sightseeing.
While visiting Tirupati there are many famous sites which must not be missed. The most popular one is the Sri Venkateswara Temple which is located on a hilltop and houses an 8-foot tall idol of Lord Venkateswara.
There are other ancient temples here as well likeSri Kalahasti Temple, Kanipakam and Sri Govindarajaswami Temple. There are also some places of natural beauty for the more adventurous souls such as the Talakona waterfalls, TTD Gardens and Deer Park.
There are ample options for food and refreshments along the way such as Abhiruchi Restaurant and AP Tourism Restaurant. Along with being a smooth road, the highway has some beautiful natural beauty to witness which is a pleasurable experience in all seasons.
The route to Tirupati from Hyderabad is through NH44 and NH40 and it is a very well built, wide road. Along the way, one can spot some interesting structures such as the Mahanandi Lord Shiva Temple and Alampur Jogulamba.
We have various car rental options which are customizable according to the needs. Our Hyderabad to Tirupati outstation car rental tariffs are completely transparent and minimal as we charge according to kilometres and keep it to the most affordable price possible.
One can also check the best deals for all-inclusive tirupati tour packages with hotel, cab and breakfast at Tirupati Tourism website. We provide private taxis for both groups and individual travellers and can really accommodate all budgets.
We have Tata Indica for a small family and budget travelling. For a more relaxed journey, we have Sedans such as Toyota Etios and Honda City, and Toyota Camry for a luxury experience. For larger groups of 6 or 7, we have Toyota Innova.
The fares for all cars are extremely low and affordable as compared to other rental cab providers in the market and we provide a full guarantee and dedicated services to ensure that the trip is free of any difficulties, pleasurable and unforgettable.

Today, Chad Tolman and Elizabeth Siftar will be representing First UU Wilmington Green Sanctuary/NC3 with Delaware Interfaith Power and Light, Sierra Club, and other environmental justice groups in defending adequate implementation of President Obama's Clean Power Plan at DNREC.
The public comment meeting will begin at 6:00 pm at
Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control (DNREC) Auditorium
89 Kings Highway
Richardson and Robbins Building
Dover, DE, 19901
This is a follow-up to the inter-faith petition drive that Green Sanctuary sponsored earlier to urge Sens. Carper and Coons and Rep. Carney to vote in support of the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
Elizabeth writes: "We consider this a moral issue. We are now at the stage of state implementation and the push-back is well organized to degrade the CPP implementation in DE. We in the faith and environmental justice communities are committed to staying the course in getting CPP adequately implemented in Delaware."
After the hearing, there will be a public comments period. Green Sanctuary/ Interfaith Power and Light will be mobilizing within our church congregations to express broad support for full and timely implementation of the Clean Power Plan. Our congregational support will be important to move DNREC and our legislators to make the right decisions for the health of the citizens of our state.

TTP and atypical HUS share similar signs and symptoms. Although there is an overlap in clinical presentation, TTP is a disease of severe ADAMTS13 deficiency (≤10%), while levels of ADAMTS13 >10% in the context of microangiopathy should raise clinical suspicion of atypical HUS.
Consequences of TTP and atypical HUS make rapid diagnosis and clinical intervention critical; therefore, increased availability of a diagnostic test for ADAMTS13 activity is extremely important in delineating between TTP and atypical HUS. In an effort to achieve this goal, the following centres are now providing timely (24-48 hours) turnaround of ADAMTS13 testing. Note: blood draws for ADAMTS13 activity testing should be done prior to commencing plasma-based therapy.
Total: 7 results found.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a group of rare disorders affecting the microvasculture of most organ beds. The impact of these diseases on those affected by them is immense. Our understanding of these disorders is rapidly expanding and therapeutic options are beginning to appear. However, many challenges remain when managing TMA and one is a practical one: the diseases are rare and the experts in them are few and spread worldwide. Read more...
