text: Joe Hendron - Conference Chair 2018 Highlights from the 2018 LDC Conference The 2018 Conference held at the Europa Hotel in Belfast was attended by 240 dentists. The number of motions about public health concerns overtook those raised about contract reform – 11 versus seven motions were aired at conference. Saagar Patel (Kensington, Chelsea & Westminster LDC) called on the government to release some of the revenue raised from the new tax on sugary drinks - which is ringfenced to tackle obesity - to fund oral health initiatives for children. LDC dentists also voted in favour of a motion emphasising the importance of primary care clinicians working together to treat patients with eating disorders which affects 1.6 million people in UK. Dentists supported a motion urging the government to fund dental services for residents in care homes to reverse the 'shameful' position where care is either poor or non-existent. Speaking after this debate, the Care Quality Commission's senior national adviser, John Milne, announced that the regulator now expects all care homes to be following the NICE guidance which was published two years ago. Agi Tarnowski (West Sussex, LDC) spoke about the injustice of vulnerable patients being fined unfairly when attending dental services and commended the British Dental Association's (BDA) campaign against such fines. She called on the BSA and NHS England to find a solution.In a debate on patient charges in England, speakers condemned the above-inflation increases for three years running as a tax on patients' dental health. Smita Rajani (Herts LDC) wondered how this was helping Theresa May's 'just about managing' and pointed out that one in five patients were delaying treatment due to rising costs. There was unanimous support for a motion calling for an alternative way of collecting patient charges so that dentists cease to be 'tax collectors'. Nick Stolls (Norfolk LDC) called on the government to collect the 'tooth tax' in a way that doesn't involve dentists.During intense debates on contract reform, a motion from North Hants LDC calling on the General Dental Practice Committee (GDPC) to disengage from negotiations with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England was defeated. Speaking against, Chair of BDA's General Dental Practice Committee (GDPC), Henrik Overgaard-Nielson, warned that this would be a huge mistake considering what happened last time (2006) dentists left negotiations: "we didn't engage and we ended up with a rotten contract". In a Question Time session on devolution and oral health inequalities in children, Joe Hendron, Chair of the 2018 LDCs Conference, asked the chief dental officers (CDOs) from Scotland and Wales to share lessons learnt from their national prevention schemes, Childsmile and Designed to Smile respectively, that could make Starting Well in England better. Collette Bridgeman (Wales) and Margie Taylor (Scotland) highlighted the importance of long term planning and investment. The dental lead from Greater Manchester (GM) Partnership, Ben Squires, said DevoManc allowed them to co-ordinate and deliver an evidence based oral health improvement programme in four priority areas (Salford, Oldham, Rochdale, and Bolton) which would eventually be delivered GM wide. Meanwhile, Professor Stephen Fayle, consultant in paediatric dentistry, expressed his frustration over the fact that in some parts of England inequalities have actually got worse since he started in his career 37 years ago. When so many children still require general anaesthesia to remove decayed teeth, he was shocked that money clawbacked from dental practices could be invested in anything other than dentistry. Joe Hendron, chair of 2018 LDCs Conference, said: "While English LDCs have been preoccupied for the past 12 years with a perverse dental contract that penalises high needs patients and undermines the viability of practices, the Belfast conference provided a platform for colleagues from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to tell us how they deal with shared concerns. This includes the scandalous numbers of children who need a general anaesthetic to remove rotten teeth to regulatory concerns, and the issues that adversely impact on our patients' oral health."

Marketing, management and leadership blogger, Debbie Laskey, has worked in high-tech, the Consumer Marketing Department at Disneyland Paris in France, non-profits, and insurance. She has also mentored many people during her career. Laskey is passionate about mentoring and, therefore, an ideal person to answer the following five questions about mentoring:
1. Why do you enjoy being a mentor?
Since I have been in the workplace for nearly two decades, I have had the opportunity to learn from a number of individuals. Some were supervisors, some were executives, some were co-workers, and some were employees who reported to me. However, the mentorship relationship is different than those relationships. As a mentor, I have been able to share what I've learned with individuals (mentees) who are at the beginning stages of building a business. They have an insatiable appetite for suggestions and always appreciate ideas – even if they don't apply them immediately. Mentees have no agenda and no time for unnecessary drama. While they may question suggestions, most of the time, they have an open mind, and this characteristic often leads to long-term success.
2. Before a mentee enters into a mentoring engagement what should he/she ask himself/herself?
Before a mentee enters into a mentorship engagement, he or she must write down five objectives and a realistic timeframe. Is one objective to finalize a business plan or marketing plan? Is one objective to determine how to build a database of leads? Is one objective how to develop strategic partnerships? Whatever the objectives are, the mentee must know what they are before the mentorship begins– or the mentorship will fail before it even begins. And, how long should the mentor and mentee continue to dialogue? Three months? Six months? It is critical to set a timeframe so that the mentor can stagger the talking points and action items.
3. What type of person makes an effective mentor?
The art of being an effective mentor is dependent on five things. First, a mentor must make a time commitment to the mentee, so he or she needs to have time available. Second, a mentor must be able to communicate easily and clearly. Third, a mentor must be knowledgeable in a myriad of areas. Fourth, a mentor must be a problem-solver. And fifth, a mentor must like the role of cheerleader. While it might make sense to have a mentor in the same industry, that's not always the best solution if you can find a multi-dimensional business leader.
4. Of all the mentors you have had in your life, what did you like most about the one who you believe was a good mentor to you?
My most important mentor has been my father. He demonstrated an amazing work ethic, and that dedication has been part of my professional life since my first job. He also taught me the importance of client service (aka, customer service), and the importance of returning phone calls and emails as soon as possible. Also, since my father was a CPA, he was always reading about new tax laws, so he taught me at an early age to stay up-to-date on my industry and trends.
5. If you can't find a mentor within your workplace, where are good places to find a mentor?
Network with your contacts through social media. Post to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ that you're looking for a mentor. In addition, check out MicroMentor.com. This site offers a variety of mentorship connections. Lastly, once you've benefited from your mentorship, pay it forward. Be a mentor to someone else!
In the words of John Crosby: "Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction."

Preparing for the Ohio Food Stamps Interview
The Ohio food stamps interview is an essential part of qualifying for food assistance. The questions asked during the food stamps interview will help determine whether an applicant is eligible for assistance. A caseworker from the local County Department of Job and Family Services (CDJFS) will conduct the interview for benefits. Applicants must schedule an EBT interview after they complete the initial food stamp application. If you need an answer to the question, "What do you need for the food stamps interview?" then you should keep reading to learn more.
What to Do Before Scheduling an Ohio Food Stamps Interview
Before your Ohio food stamps interview can be scheduled, you must learn how to complete a food stamps application. Prior to your EBT interview, you can apply for assistance online or in person at a CDJFS location near you. The sooner you complete your application, the sooner you can schedule an interview and learn the status of your application. Information about the EBT interview is printed on the paper food stamp application. To obtain an Ohio food stamp interview, you must complete the application by providing information about your citizenship status, income and financial state. If you are having difficulty completing an application or scheduling an interview, then you should contact your caseworker or a CDJFS office for assistance.
Learn how to apply for food assistance in Ohio successfully by reviewing the in-depth details in our comprehensive guide.
What Do You Bring to a Food Stamp Interview in Ohio
Ohio applicants need to know what is required for food stamps interviews, as this may be the final step in receiving food assistance. To prepare for an Ohio food stamps interview, residents will need to bring any documents or forms that can verify their identity, citizenship and financial status. Eligibility for food assistance is open to all citizens, including non-U.S. citizens, but applicants will need to verify their citizenship status at the initial interview by bringing a U.S. birth certificate, passport or Certificate of Naturalization.
You may attend your EBT interview if you lack any of the previously mentioned documents, but you will need to bring at least one document verifying your birth location and one document verifying your identity. If you do not have a U.S. birth or naturalization certificate, then you may provide a Certificate of Birth Abroad, U.S. Citizen Identification Card, adoption decree or a statement from a physician or hospital regarding your date and time of birth. To verify your identity for the E.B.T. interview, you may bring a driver's license, state-ID card, military card, school-ID card (with a photograph) or work badge. However, these are not the only items that can be used for verification.
During the OH food stamps interview, you will also need to verify your income and finances. The CDJFS office will use the income and employment information you provide to make a decision regarding your eligibility. You must bring proof of employment or of employment termination as well as proof of income. For the EBT interview, you may verify your income by bringing paystubs, W-2s, bank statements or official earnings statements from your place of employment. You will also need to bring any information related to other expenses such as child care or medical costs for family members who are elderly or disabled. If you have other financial assets, such as investments, stocks or bonds, then the interviewer will want to see proof of those as well.
For a comprehensive list of the items and documents needed to enroll in the food assistance program in Ohio, review the in-depth information in our free guide and discover which expenses can be deducted from income to help you qualify for benefits.
The person conducting your Ohio food stamps interview will need to confirm you are an official resident of the state. During the EBT interview, you can use documents such as a utility bill, lease agreement or rent receipt to establish your residency. You will need to provide a Social Security Number (SSN) for each member of your household (those listed on your application) or an application for an SSN if you do not currently have one. If you do not have a Social Security card during your Ohio food stamp interview, then you may use an official document with your SSN.
The CDJFS office will schedule your Ohio food stamps interview once you complete and submit your application for food assistance. A representative will give you vital information about your EBT interview regarding the time, location and date. Interviews may be conducted in person, over the phone or at home depending on your needs and the availability of the CDJFS. If you miss your interview, then a CDJFS representative will contact you with an opportunity to reschedule. If you fail to reschedule your electronic benefit transfer interview within a certain period of missing your initial interview, then you may be denied benefits for food assistance. If this occurs, you will have to start the food stamps application process over.
Questions Asked During the Food Stamps Interview in Ohio
The questions asked during the Ohio EBT interview will vary from applicant to applicant, and the state does not provide a list of standard questions. In general, the Ohio food stamps interview will be used to determine your eligibility for food assistance as well as other state and federal assistance programs.
Ohio Family Assistance
What Kind of Family Assistance Does Ohio Offer?
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) manages the implementation of family programs designed to provide assistance to families in need.

Lotta Joy made me remember this, when she said she wore more purple now.
When i worked in home health care, the first time i went to one lady's house, i saw her red satin pajamas. She said her dotter had given them to her for Christmas, and didn't know if they were appropiate for her, at her age. I told her, YOU WEAR THEM. Then i looked up that poem about wearing purple now that the lady was older, made a copy and took it to her.
by Jenny Joseph
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I'm old and start to wear purple.
Soo, you go girl,,, lol
BTW, she wore her red pjs,,,
When i was a young teen, i decided not to let what people said, to upset me or change anything i did or didn't do. Wish kids now could do that. Some can, but most can't. Maybe it came from Mother telling us "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me". And the other way around, i didn't say bad things to other people either.
Got a 2PM apt to see my joint doc about my hip. That injection never worked like it should have, and i need more in it.
Yall tc, and

Risk & uncertainty factors
Elanders divides risks into business risks (customer concentration, operational risk, risks in operating expenses, contracts and disputes), financial risks (currency, interest, financing/liquidity and credit risk) as well as circumstantial risks (business cycle sensitivity and the future of the services/products).
For more detailed information than given below, as well as a sensitivity analysis, please see pages 42-43 in the 2018 Annual Report.
Last updated 10/29/2019
Elanders encounters risks in operations daily and normally these are within the Group's control. Group Management's close collaboration with the different group operations is a key factor in controlling these risks.
The greatest financial risks for Elanders are currency risk, interest risk and financing/liquidity risk.
The external factors that have the greatest impact on Elanders operations are global economy and the future for the Group's products and services. Since these factors are outside of group control we continuously work to adjust operations to meet the new conditions.

Why did Fox Nation choose to showcase a video about a distraught young woman shouting at, then macing and punching a local news crew from Washington, D.C. when they refused to move away from the (public) sidewalk outside her home? Normally, Fox Nation focuses on attacking President Obama and Democrats politics. Well, even if it wasn't because the woman is African American, the Fox Nation readers sure appreciated the opportunity to let loose with a disgusting stream of racist comments. Oh, and they worked in President Obama while they were at it! (H/T reader J.L.)
Here's a screen grab of Fox Nation's current home page, at 2:18 PM ET:
All the Fox Nation stories above - and 4 out of 5 of those showcased from the Fox News Channel - are anti-Obama. Even the "Pic of the Day," which is entitled "Web Sites For Dummies" is a snark attack on HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and ObamaCare.
So why would Fox Nation be interested in a story in which a neighbor of an active crime scene gets overly upset at a TV news crew that refuses to leave the sidewalk in front of her house? I think these comments might explain it. By the way, our reader J.L. sent them to us on October 31. The ones I spot checked (about three or four) were still there.
Warning: not for the faint of heart.
By the way, this is one of many, many examples of Fox Nation deliberately race baiting and with comments full of racism. Don't forget, Fox Nation is the originator of the now-infamous "Hip Hop BBQ" headline about President Obama's birthday party. So if anyone should find themselves ambushed by Fox Nation editor and O'Reilly Factor producer Jesse Watters, feel free to throw his own history back at him.

School History
DeMatha Catholic High School first opened its doors on September 9, 1946 with an enrollment of only 18 students.
Under the direction and leadership of the Very Rev. F. Cyprian Nusca, O.SS.T., Provincial, the Very Rev. F. Michael Nardone, O.SS.T., Superior and first principal, and Rev. Paul Donovan, O.SS.T., Registrar and Dean, all priests of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinitarians), the primary focus of the school was to educate and prepare those interested in becoming clergy in the Trinitarian Order. However, due to a lack of Catholic high schools and facilities in the metropolitan area (and Hyattsville), Catholic parents requested that their sons be granted permission to enroll at DeMatha. Following their tradition of service to the community and to the Archdiocese of Washington, the Trinitarians agreed and began accepting a limited number of lay students.
The student body was suddenly over 80 students at the opening of school in 1947. Quick changes were needed. Since school was taught in the Monastery and that building was no longer sufficient for the larger enrollment, a six-car garage was rapidly remodeled to provide desperately needed classrooms. This building quickly gained the apt nickname "Fort Necessity" and is currently the home of the Fotos Arts Center.
DeMatha's first graduating class in 1948 consisted of four students. Work began in 1949 on a new building specifically designed as a secondary school, and in January 1950 (despite a flu epidemic at the time), the first classes were held in this new facility. The make-up of the new structure, now known as the "old wing", was quite different than it is today, containing a cafeteria (originally to be an indoor pool), chapel, library, laboratory, classrooms, and a large auditorium-gymnasium. The third floor, which was to contain additional classroom space, was not completed until the following year. Changes in curriculum were made so that high academic standards could be maintained and state requirements fulfilled. In 1954, DeMatha Catholic High School was placed on the list of state-approved non-public schools. DeMatha's first decade of existence was complete and a tradition of dedication, service, and excellence had begun.
DeMatha history through the decades
Decade of Growth: 1956-1965
DeMatha Catholic High School's second decade was one of growth: in popularity, enrollment, and physical size. The humble days of 18 students in the Monastery basement were long gone as the school boomed to a student population of over 450 students by the mid-1960's. The staff at the school also increased to 35 and featured not only teachers but a librarian, secretary, and cafeteria crew. This decade also saw the beginning of the careers of three DeMatha legends largely responsible for much of the school's local prominence and national recognition: Mr. John Moylan, Dr. Charles "Buck" Offutt, and Mr. Morgan Wootten. Also beginning their careers in the early 1960's were DeMatha veterans Mr. Ray Smith, Mr. Mike Cullen, and Mr. Tony Fotos.
The rapidly growing school was forced to expand yet again in the late 1950's. In 1959, a new building program resulted in the addition of six classrooms, two laboratories (one a biology lecture room, the other a combination physics-chemistry lab), an enlarged kitchen and newly located cafeteria, mechanical drawing facilities, a paved parking lot next to the Monastery and later, an outdoor pool. This completed the basic structure of the main building of the school as it existed through the 1980's when ground breaking for the new addition began. Going into DeMatha's third decade, the school had established itself as a solid institution with growing enrollment, staff, and resources. The future looked as positive as ever with 20 years foundation having been laid.
On January 30, 1965, the national spotlight shined brightly on DeMatha and its basketball team. Led by a young coach named Morgan Wootten, the Stag's varsity basketball team upset the seemingly unbeatable Power Memorial (NY) and their senior center Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul Jabbar). The victory, in front of a sold out crowd at Maryland's Cole Field House, broke Power's 71-game win streak and has become one of the most legendary high school basketball games in history. DeMatha was on the national map.
Trying Times in Catholic Education: 1966-1975
Although enrollment at DeMatha continued to increase into the school's third decade (515 students by September 1969), there were ominous signs and rough roads ahead. In fact, the Hyattsville school's very existence would be spared by the narrowest of margins. In the early 1970's, vast reforms called for by Pope John XXIII caused many religious men and women to shun the institution of the church. This meant tough times for Catholic schools -- even DeMatha. In a development that still remains a haunting thought, the school was saved from extinction by only one vote in a Provincial Chapter in 1969 and again in 1972. Subsequently, the number of religious and clergy involved in the school dwindled making it necessary to employ more lay faculty and staff to run the school.
The academic year of 1968-69 was the first year that saw Mr. John L. Moylan as principal. Mr. Moylan was also the first lay principal ever in the Washington Archdiocese. Due to his hard work, sacrifice, and vision, the school survived the tough times and prepared for the many challenges ahead.
DeMatha's award winning Music Director John H. Mitchell also began his storied career at the school in the third decade. In 1970, Mr. Mitchell, a University of Maryland graduate and one of the Army Band's youngest members ever, began the music program at DeMatha with only 19 members. In a mere 10 years, the program would become nationally known for its excellence.
Excellence in Education: 1976-1985
In September 1985, enrollment at DeMatha Catholic High School had reached an astounding 920 students, the peak of an increase seen throughout the school's fourth decade. Understandably, still more renovations and changes were needed to house the bulging population and increasing class size during this dramatic growth. The gymnasium, for example, was refurbished in 1977 and the cafeteria underwent major renovations the same year. A basement room in the Monastery was also called into action as the typing room. But in July 1979, tragedy struck as "Fort Necessity" was severely damaged by fire. To make up for the lost space, four temporary annex buildings acquired from Prince George's County were erected next to the burned out building. They were refurbished in later years and eventually housed the music program as well as various religion, foreign language and English classes.
After a major fund-raising campaign during the 1979-80 academic year, work continued on repairing the damaged "Fort Necessity". In the fall of 1985 two more temporary classrooms were brought in and placed behind the existing four annexes. At the time, they were used mainly for foreign language courses and instruction. Up until then, however, two residential houses next to the school contained the business office and French/Spanish classrooms respectively.
As early as 1982, however, the school began reviewing plans to renovate the "main building", creating what would be a new wing to be added to the area of the gymnasium. Massive fund raising efforts began as thousands of DeMatha friends, boosters, alumni, and supporters donated time, effort, and money to the building campaign. Receipts from DeMatha's Bingo program (run by the faculty) also helped greatly. Once again the tradition of quality people rising to the occasion to better DeMatha as a learning institution and role model for other schools was apparent -- and much appreciated.
In 1984, DeMatha Catholic was nationally recognized again, this time by the United States Department of Education, as one of 38 exemplary private schools in the country. DeMatha's devotion to all aspects of student growth -- spiritual, moral, academic, artistic, and athletic -- was rewarded with this high honor symbolized by the large banner now hanging in the main level of the new wing. (DeMatha received this prestigious honor again in 1991). Heading into its fifth decade of existence, DeMatha had gone from a basement operation in 1946 to one of the best high schools in the entire nation.
Excellence in Education: 1986-1995
Success, as they say, breeds success and DeMatha Catholic High School proved quite fertile in the years leading to the school's 50th anniversary. Enrollment remained strong while intense fund raising and school support by generous boosters, friends, and alumni allowed ground to be broken for a new addition in October 1988. The large addition to the school included several new classrooms, a chapel, faculty lounge, remodeled gymnasium and cafeteria, new offices, a state-of-the-art music center, and other much needed amenities. Then, on September 19, 1990, what was envisioned back in 1982 became reality as the $4.1 million new addition (designed by architect and DeMatha alumnus Michael Mulhern '72) opened and was dedicated by James Cardinal Hickey, Archbishop of Washington. Fr. James Day, O.S S.T. was also present at the ceremony finishing his 15th and final year as the beloved Rector of DeMatha.
In May of that same academic year the Department of Education again recognized DeMatha Catholic as one of 200 exemplary high schools in the nation, matching the honor given in 1984. Currently both banners commemorating the awards proudly hang in school's main floor of the new wing. Another award presented in 1991 went to the man many consider to be "Mr. DeMatha", John L. Moylan, as he was named Principal of the Year by the Archdiocese of Washington. Mr. Moylan was honored again in 1993 as one of the area's top principals by The Washington Post, the only private school chief so honored. As of the 1995-96 academic year, Mr. Moylan completed his 40th year with the school and his 28th as principal.
January of 1993 saw another historic event as the legendary Morgan Wootten won his 1,000th basketball game as head coach of the Stags. The achievement gained national attention and came roughly 28 years after the win over Power Memorial.
Occasionally with great success, however, comes great sadness. The DeMatha family experienced this first hand when, in the summer of 1993, senior-to-be student/athlete Tim Strachan was paralyzed during a swimming accident in Bethany Beach, Delaware. With spiritual and emotional support, however, Tim and DeMatha showed tremendous resolve and came together as a community to deal with the tragedy. "T's" jersey, number 13, was retired on November 22, 1993 and remains in the school's convocation center, a constant reminder of his strength, courage, and determination.
Strength in Dedication: 1996-2005
DeMatha's faculty, staff, alumni and friends have proved to be a tremendously loyal group over the years. Several of DeMatha's faculty members reached the 40 year mark during this decade at DeMatha, including John Moylan, Morgan Wootten, Dr. Buck Offutt, and Tony Fotos. DeMatha's Senior Boosters, parents of graduates from the 1960's and 70's, continued to hold events to benefit school renovations. Alumni dedicated to education returned to the classrooms to carry on the tradition of excellence.
In September 1997, DeMatha opened a new Student Activities Center which includes an expansive multi-purpose area, a weight room, a training room, a photography dark room, and additional classrooms. Once again, generous support from the DeMatha faithful has meant a better a place for others to learn and grow. This building was renamed the MAC, the McCarthy Activities Center, named in memory of Brendan McCarthy '64, the first two-time All American at DeMatha. The MAC Building also housed The Walt Coughlin '52 Strength & Fitness Center, named after Walt Coughlin, one of the school's most generous alumni.
In June of 2000, Mr. John Moylan retired after serving 33 dedicated years as Principal. His successor, Dr. Daniel McMahon '76, a veteran faculty member, hailed a new age for the school. Working with the Trinitarian leadership, Dr. McMahon led the school on another building campaign called 'A Crusade For Tomorrow'. This ambitious project includes an impressive Convocation Center that will house classrooms, the Coughlin Strength & Fitness Center, a wrestling room, and a 1,200 seat gym. In addition, 'The Crusade' includes a new gateway to the school's Route One entrance, several parking areas, a plaza leading to the new building and a conversion of the MAC Building as a music and performing arts facility. This ambitious effort mirrors the vision and courage of the school's founders.
2006 and beyond
Looking Ahead: 2006 and beyond
As DeMatha Catholic High School continues now in its seventh decade of existence, its importance in the community is as crucial as ever. With wayward youth and societal problems seemingly on the increase, DeMatha continues to be an oasis of spiritual, academic, artistic, and athletic instruction, leading young men on the path of hard work and good citizenry with balance and perspective as constant guides. The tradition so firmly established by those whose sacrifice and dedication made the school possible will never be forgotten nor will be taken for granted. There is too much at stake.
DeMatha is well known both nationally and internationally for its excellence in academics, music and athletics. The Washington Post has recognized six of the school's educators for Distinguished Leadership and Outstanding Teaching. Those educators are Dr. Daniel McMahon, Principal; Mr. John Moylan, Principal Emeritus; Mr. John Mitchell, Music; Mr. Rick Reeves, Science; Mr. Rich Macheski, History; Mr. Tom Krawczewicz, English and Computer Science.
In the last several years, the face of DeMatha's campus has changed. Three new parking areas off Route 1 opened in September 2008. The Brendan McCarthy Center reopened in September 2009 as the home of DeMatha's outstanding Music Program. The 72,000 square foot LT (SEAL) Brendan Looney '99 Convocation Center was dedicated in March 2010. The Hanley Science Wing, with state of the art science facilities, opened in 2011.
DeMatha will continue to provide the best possible environment for the education of the next generations of young men. DeMatha's future continues to look bright as the school remains committed to producing Faith-Filled Gentlemen and Scholars, all in a tradition that began in 1946 with just 18 students.

Rihanna's newest sneaker design reaches for the skies.
Fresh off of its debut at fashion week yesterday, we have a first look at Puma's "Fenty By Rihanna" sneaker line. We'll leave the clothing out, but these trainers are distinctive enough to warrant some attention. Besides, Rihanna was recently credited by Puma for increasing their Q4 sales beyond expectations.
It's clear from the photos of the clothing that Rihanna had quite a bit of creative control for these shoes, and the same rings true for the sneakers. Dubbed the Fenty Trainer, the shoe takes simultaneous influences from athletic wear and the high fashion looks of the runway for a truly distinctive silhouette. The shoe may be a departure for Puma's tried and true low top design, but it still has the Puma's swoosh shape on the sides and branding on the tongue and heel tab. The heel tab also has "by Rihanna" text added to the logo.
These kicks prove we aren't done with the trend of continually climbing tongues, as the tongue on the Fenty Trainers extends higher than any other sneaker we can think of. The shoe features no laces to speak of, and combines a number of different perforated materials throughout the shoe for breathability and comfort.
The shoe has appeared on select retailers like Rise, and is listed for release on Feb 26. No word on pricing, but given the 'high fashion' trappings of the shoe, we're guessing they'll be upwards of $200. The shoe will come in "Red Alert," "Blackout" and "Whiteout" monochromatic designs.
It's a distinctive look that could very well work for the ladies, but we'll have to see some on foot pictures first. Is it enough to tempt any fellas out there though?

Chanel have recently released their new Stylo Eyeshadows with a total of 6 illuminating shades ranging from a luminous gold to aquamarine green to black. After hearing about their released I couldn't help myself and just had to pick one up. Moon River instantly gravitated towards me and I think we're a match made in heaven!
Moon River is a beautiful metallic taupe with a champagne sheen and is described as 'platinum'. With only on swipe Moon River gives a semi-opaque colour but can easily build up to a really intense opaque colour. The consistency is creamy and is cool to the touch. I find this eyeshadow perfect for lazy days or when I am in a rush, as it is super quick and simple to apply and is one of those eyeshadows which looks incredible worn alone.
I am really impressed with the longevity of this as it lasted well over 12 hours and was still standing strong without a primer. I haven't ever come across any eyeshadows, whether it is cream or powder, which has never creased on me until I met this magic stick. The Urban Decay Primer Potion and Mac Painterly Paint Pot still manage to crease on me, so I was incredibly impressed that this eyeshadow was did not crease at all. This eyeshadow is also water-resistant and is slightly smudge-proof, it does smudge a bit but the majority of the eyeshadow doesn't budge.
Have you tried out the new Stylo Eyeshadows yet? Do you think you're going to?

I know; I got a bit behind on the PAD Challenge thanks to the fun 24-hour Read-a-Thon and a number of other activities. However, as promised I've caught up with the prompts. Check out these rough drafts.
Poem #17's Prompt is to use this title and fill in the blank: "All I want is (blank)"
All I want is a Championship
I'm not an athlete
I used to get hit in the head
with soccer balls, baseballs, softballs.
You name it, there's a bump on my head for it.
My coordination has never been great.
But in fantasy, I can pick the best
athletes who dunk,
players with the best jump shot,
offense with the best pick-and-roll.
I can lead the league in games won
Every week in those match ups,
but the championship slips
through my fingers. . . again.
Poem #18 Prompt is about interaction.
Please select from the following options:
Press 1 for billing,
Press 2 to set up a new service,
Press 3 if you are having problems with your service,
Press 4 for more options.
I press 4.
Press 1 for billing,
Press 2 to set up a new service,
Press 3 if you are having problems with your service,
Press 4 for more options.
I press 4.
Press 1 for billing,
Press 2 to set up a new service,
Press 3 if you are having problems with your service
Press 4. . .
I slam the receiver down,
Pick it up, dial,
Listen to the automated choices
Hit 0, six times.
That should be sufficient.
"Hello, may I help you?"
"Finally," I reply.
I stare at the receiver for a moment,
Wondering why I called.
Poem #19 Prompt is to write an angry poem.
Executive-Directed Benefits
More than eight hours in this office
behind fabric walls
with hiked up knees beneath my desk.
My fingers curled,
hammer keys at 60 wpm
prepping news for your executive minds.
Not your minds,
yours are empty.
Blinking eyes decide a benefits swipe.
It's okay; your kids are grown
and have their own health insurance.
I don't matter,
My family doesn't matter.
Will you sit here in this emergency room,
waiting as they pull the knife from my back?
Poem #20 Prompt is to write a poem about rebirth.
It courses through my veins
burning, searing me from inside.
I'm not sure this is medicine.
It kills the cancer in my body,
but it destroys my golden locks,
my appetite, and my complexion.
The doctor tells me I'm improving,
But I feel weak.
I slump down in my recliner,
struggle to get up
trudge between rooms.
My husband rubs my shoulders,
prepares my first solid foods.
Kelly green veggies, steamed.
Protestant carrots peppering my plate.
I can taste nothing,
But over the weeks, the fresh
ground emerges from the farmstand veggies.
My muscles charge slowly
like my cell phone in the wall.
Rose returns to my cheeks
And my eyes no longer droop.
The doctor smiles as hair stubs emerge.
I'm ready.
What did you write today?

- The HPV vaccine does NOT cure an existing HPV infection.
- The vaccine works best before a young woman (or young man) becomes sexually active.
- Currently, there are three HPV vaccines available in the United States: that protect women against certain types of HPV: Cervarix®, Gardasil®, Gardasil 9®.
- The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) recommends that both boys and girls receive the HPV vaccine by age 11 and 12 and that the series can be started as early as 9 years old.
- October 2016 – Based on recent findings, the CDC now recommends that anyone who reeives the HPV vaccine before their 15th birthday requires only 1 additional dose, a total of 2 doses (instead of 3). The 2nd dose should be given 6-12 months after the first one.
- New: Anyone starting the HPV vaccine series after the age of 15 should receive 3 doses; the 2nd dose should be given 1-2 months after the first dose and the 3rd dose should be given 6 months after the first dose.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 20 million people in the United States become infected with HPV with 6.2 million new cases each year. There are many different types of HPV (Human Papillomavirus). There are about 150 different types and more than 40 are sexually transmitted. Researchers keep track of the different types of HPV by identifying them with numbers such as 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.
Some types cause genital warts (flesh colored growths that may appear around the vagina or anus), others cause pre-cancerous changes (cellular changes that can lead to cancer of the cervix later). In rare cases, the virus can cause other types of cancers to the vulva, vagina, and anus in girls, the anus and penis in males, and the oropharynx (back of throat, base of tongue and tonsils) in both.
Is my daughter at risk of getting HPV?
If your daughter is or plans to be sexually active in her lifetime, she is at risk for getting HPV. Any sexually active person—no matter what color, race, gender, or sexual orientation—can get HPV. In fact, at least 1 in every 2 sexually active young women has had a genital HPV infection.
About 20 million Americans currently have an HPV infection and approximately 6 million new cases are diagnosed each year. About 12,000 women get cervical cancer in the U. S. and almost all of these cases are related to HPV. – Centers for Disease Control
Some people who have been infected with the HPV virus know they have it because they have had genital warts or an abnormal Pap test, or have tested positive for HPV. However, most people do not know they have HPV because they do not have symptoms.
How is HPV spread?
HPV and genital warts are usually spread by direct skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who is infected with HPV. Condoms and dental dams (used as a barrier during oral sex) can help protect against HPV, but they aren't perfect because warts can be found on skin that isn't covered by a condom. HPV can be in the skin and genital organs without any symptoms. In fact, the only way that is 100% effective in preventing exposure to HPV is avoiding any kind of sexual activity that involves contact with genital areas.
What are the HPV vaccines?
Gardasil® protects young women and men against four different types of HPV. The vaccine works to prevent two types of HPV—16 and 18, which cause 70% of cervical cancer, and two other types—6 and 11, which cause 90% of genital warts. It can also prevent some vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers. Gardasil® has also been approved by the FDA for young men and is effective in protecting against genital warts.
Gardasil 9® protects young women and men against nine different types of HPV, including the four previously covered by Gardasil® (6, 11, 16, 18) and five additional types (31, 33, 45, 52, and 58). Overall, Gardasil 9® is expected to prevent 90% of genital warts and 90% of cervical cancers. It can also prevent some vulvar, vaginal and anal cancers.
Cervarix® protects young women (10-26 years old) against two types of HPV. This vaccine works to prevent HPV-16 and 18, which cause 70% of cervical cancer. It does not protect against HPV-6 and 11. Cervarix® is not approved for young men because it doesn't prevent genital warts (6, 11).
The HPV vaccine works best for those who have not yet come in contact with these viruses. It is recommended for all 11 and 12 year olds as a routine vaccination and for everyone between 13-26 years of age who have not yet received the vaccine. It is also recommended for all young men 13-21 years of age who have not yet received the vaccine, but young men ages 22-26 years may also receive Gardasil®. Cervarix® is not approved for young men because it doesn't prevent genital warts (6, 11).
In 2017, only 9vHPV (Gardasil 9®) will be available in the United States.
How does the HPV vaccine work?
The vaccine is a fluid that has very small particles in it that look like HPV. After the vaccine is given, the body quickly starts making antibodies against the certain types of HPV. Antibodies are necessary to fight HPV. Remember that the virus is not a live virus, which means your daughter can't get HPV from the vaccine.
How does a vaccine get approved?
Before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves any medicine or vaccine, scientists and doctors must study it. After researching the vaccine for a long time, the pharmaceutical company must show that the vaccine will improve the health of people who receive it. In June of 2006, the FDA found the Gardasil® vaccine to be an excellent way to lower the chances of getting HPV for girls and young women between the ages of 9-26. The Cervarix® vaccine was approved by the FDA in October of 2009 for girls and young women between the ages of 10-25. In December 2014, Gardasil 9® was approved by the FDA. Gardasil 9® protects against 9 different types of HPV (the first 4 strains 6, 11, 16, 18, and also 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58.
Is the HPV vaccine effective?
When tested in girls, Gardasil® was 100% effective in preventing pre-cancerous changes in the cervix caused by HPV types 16 and 18. Gardasil® was also shown to be nearly 100% effective in preventing vulvar and vaginal pre-cancers and genital warts caused by HPV types 6 and 11. When Cervarix® was tested in girls not yet exposed to HPV types 16 and 18, it was 93% effective in preventing pre-cancerous changes in the cervix caused by HPV types 16 and 18. Both vaccines are less effective in young women who have already come in contact with the HPV types in the vaccine. However, if a young woman has been exposed only to one of the types, the vaccine still gives protection against the remaining types. So, even young women who have had sexual contact should get immunized.
It is important for your daughter to plan on returning to her health care provider for the second and third shots.
When is the best time for my daughter to get vaccinated?
The best time for your daughter to get vaccinated is before she comes in contact with the HPV virus. In fact, the government organization that decides when children and adolescents should be immunized recommends that all 11 and 12 year old girls receive it. Health care providers can also offer the vaccine to younger girls (9 and 10 year olds). Gardasil® is approved for young women and young men from 9 years of age up to 26 years, while Cervarix® is approved for only young women from 10 years of age up to 25 years.
Are there any side effects with the HPV vaccine?
Side effects are rare; however, some young women who get the vaccine may complain of pain, or have swelling, redness, or itchiness where they got the shot (arm or thigh). These discomforts are temporary, but may last a couple of days. In very few cases, side effects may include a fever, dizziness, and/or nausea. Some young women have fainted after receiving the vaccine, so your daughter may want to sit quietly for 10-15 minutes after receiving the vaccine.
It is very uncommon to have side-effects from vaccines. If you think your daughter might have had a side-effect from a vaccine, talk to her health care provider. You can also call 1-800-822-7967 or log on to vaers.hhs.gov.
Does my daughter have a choice about getting the HPV vaccine?
Yes. The HPV vaccine is not mandatory except in the state of Texas, however, at least 42 states (in the U.S.) have introduced legislation that would require the vaccine. With that being said, most health care providers will recommend the vaccine if your daughter is between the ages of 9-26 to reduce her risk of cervical cancer―the younger, the better. For more information about state legislation policies regarding the HPV vaccine, see the national conference of state legislatures site.
How do I know if my daughter should get the HPV vaccine?
Talk it over with your daughter's health care provider. Now that the vaccine is available, it is a good idea to take advantage of it. Most young women will become sexually active at some point in their lives, and the vaccine is very effective in preventing the spread of HPV. The risk of getting HPV is far worse than getting a shot.
Is there any reason why my daughter shouldn't get the HPV vaccine?
The vaccine is not recommended if a young women is allergic to any of the components of the HPV vaccine, if she is pregnant, has certain blood conditions, an immune disorder or certain other medical problems. Let her health care provider know if she has a latex allergy, as Cervarix® comes in two different preparations, and one contains latex. If you are thinking about having your daughter vaccinated, it's a good idea to have a conversation with your daughter and her health care provider to see if there is any reason why she shouldn't get the vaccine.
Should my daughter get the HPV vaccine if she is already sexually active?
Yes. Girls and young women should receive the vaccine even if they have already had sex. It is not necessary for your daughter to have an HPV test before getting the vaccine.
Is the HPV vaccine safe?
The vaccine is considered safe by FDA standards. It does not contain mercury or thimerosal.
If my daughter already has HPV, will the vaccine help?
It depends on what type of HPV your daughter has been exposed to. The vaccine won't cure an HPV infection that she has already, such as genital warts, pre-cancers (changes that happen before a cancer starts to grow), or cervical cancer. However, many people who have HPV are not infected with all the types of HPV that the vaccine targets. Since there is no test available to tell for sure if a young woman has had just one or multiple types of the HPV virus, it is recommended to get the vaccine so she can have protection from the types she may not yet have come in contact with.
If my daughter gets the HPV vaccine will she be protected for the rest of her life?
The vaccine is effective for at least 8 years, but is likely effective even longer. It is currently unknown, but it's possible that at some point in the future a booster will be recommended.
Does insurance cover the HPV vaccine?
The vaccine is covered by most insurance plans, but it is best to check directly with your family's insurance carrier. The HPV vaccine is expensive if your insurance company doesn't pay for it. Each dose is about $130, and 2-3 doses are needed.
Will there be a vaccine someday that prevents other types of HPV?
Yes. In 2014 Gardasil 9® was approved by the FDA. This vaccine protects those who get the vaccine from 5 more types of HPV than the original Gardasil® vaccine. It is likely that there will be a vaccine or booster that works to prevent more types of HPV in the future.

I am looking around my room and have had a few thoughts...some have crossed my mind before and others are sudden "I wonder if" thoughts.
The main ones:
- Wow...things have really gotten out of order down here this summer!!
- I'm unemployed! Is there something in here that I could do for income? and where do I start?
- and my new one....Is all of this covered under my home owners insurance? Having lost a home and contents when pipes burst and our insurance company finding a loophole and not covering a dime, I am always leery.
So, I have a few questions?
- How do you store your WIPs so that you don't have to re-iron them every time you pull them out and so they don't completely take over any flat surface in your studio?
- Do you keep an inventory of all your fabric, notions, etc that you have? I am talking sewing machines, looms, spinning wheels (yes, plural), bags of fibres for spinning...books. (When our pipes burst they did not cover anything...let me tell you that it is a sad day when you see the majority of your possessions tossed into a dumpster...fortunately, the week before I had removed all my artwork, family photos, and family history from the house or I would have been devastated. We were getting the house ready to sell.)
- If you do keep an inventory of your fabric and notions, how detailed is it in terms of quantity and measurement of the piece of fabric and batting, etc?

Raising the Barre (Using Imagery in Choreography)
Kira Seamon was a Guest Choreographer at one of Regional Dance America's National Choreography Intensives. It was called the Craft of Choreography Conference and ran for 2 weeks in the summer. A typical day saw her completing a morning session, an afternoon rehearsal and a Showing at night of her work. The assignment for this day was to create a 2 minute dance with mud as the theme. That might seem like a difficult and restrictive topic for dance, but as you will see, Kira immediately used imagery to help her discover and create unusual movements for her dance. Imagery was very important to this dance as she was also asked to choreograph it in silence, as music would be randomly added later during the performance. (Kira is super impressed with her dancers as the first time they ever heard this music was during the actual performance. Spectacular job and highly professional!) This Instructional Video finds Kira commenting on her work and giving insight to the choreographic process. It is the 2nd Video in her "Raising the Barre" Instructional Video series.

Google Launches Mobile Payment App Tez
Digital payments are the new revolution in our technology and almost every business is heading towards digital economy. Paytm is the most successful mobile payment app when it's come to India and that's all because of cash ban. Now it's time for Google that company is going to launch its UPI-based mobile payments app Tez in India. Now this will really help so many users to make the money transfer feasible in such quick time.
This app will be available for both android and iOS operators and it'll work with all the major banks.
Google Tez will be really easy to use and customers will be able to pay directly via bank accounts. By using this app you don't need to open bank account and you don't need to worry about reloading wallets. Users can exchange cash to nearby Tez user that too without even sharing personal information like bank details and contact. Users can scan the QR code for the money transfer.
As per the reports, small business owners can use Tez app with their current account to start accepting digital payments. Those business owners will be able to accept Rs 50,000 per month with UPI and with no additional cost.
This app is kind of too secure but still you can place a Google pin or a screen lock too. All the users have to do is to make a connection of their bank account with this Tez app. Once the process will be complete, after that users will be able to send and receive money.
Stay tuned for more updates related to Mobile Payment App Tez and other Latest Web Technology News updates.

Rich Domain classes plugin
compile "org.grails.plugins:rich-domain:1.0.6"
This plugin provides dependency injection and validation support for POGO's that are NOT Grails domain classes.
grails install-plugin rich-domain
OverviewThe rich domain classes plugin provides dependency injection and validation support for POGO's (plain old groovy objects) that are NOT Grails domain classes.
Dependency injection (auto wiring)An AST transformation makes sure that auto wiring of dependencies is performed automatically after each constructor call and after deserialization. Hence no agents or other Spring AOP stuff is necessary.
UsageAdd the
WiredBean annotation to your class and use standard annotations like
Inject and
Resource to mark members that should be auto wired:
Classes that implement
import be.ixor.grails.richdomain.autowire.WiredBean import javax.annotation.Resource import javax.inject.Inject import org.springframework.context.MessageSource import org.springframework.web.servlet.LocaleResolver@WiredBean class MyRichDomainClass { @Inject MessageSource injectedMessageSourceByType @Resource(name = "localeResolver") LocaleResolver injectedLocaleResolverByName LocaleResolver notInjectedLocalResolver }
Serializable will be wired again after deserialization. Injected fields should be marked as
transient in this case.
TestingAll objects are wired when running integration and functional tests. In unit tests, there is no appliction context and hence no wiring. You can however inject properties with a
AutoWireBeanListener :
But don't forget to reset the listener, otherwise following tests may fail:
ApplicationContextUtils.autoWireBeanListener = {bean -> if (bean instanceof MyBean) { bean.foo = bar } } as AutoWireBeanListener
void clearAutoWireBeanListener() {
ApplicationContextUtils.autoWireBeanListener = null
Validation supportThe extended validation plugin adds declarative constraints and validation capabilities to classes that are not grails domain classes. The plugin is similar to the build-in
ValidationGrailsPlugin , but has a couple of extra features:
- constraint groups
- cascaded validation
- instance validators
- partial validation
- errors that survive serialization/de-serialization
The rich domain plugin supersedes the (deprecated) extended-validation plugin. The new plugin is based on AST transformations from Grails 2.x which has the advantage that validateable beans are not automatically added to the application context anymore. Furthermore the errors are now stored inside the bean and thus will survive (de)serialization.
UsageAdd the
be.ixor.grails.richdomain.validation.Validateable annotation to your class and define a static constraints closure:
class Person {
static constraints = …
Listing classes in Config.groovy to make them validateable is not supported anymore.
Defining constraintsIn addition to the standard grails constraints, the plugin provides some extra features.
Constraint groupsYou can define logical constraint groups. This is particularly useful in wizards, where the information comes from multiple pages and where one only wants to validate the fields on a certain page.
static constraints = { personalDetails { firstName(blank: false) lastName(blank: false) } preferences { uiPrefs(validator: {...}) } }
Cascaded validationValidation of nested objects can be achieved with the
cascade constraint:
class Person { … Address address static constraints = { address(cascade: true) ...
Instance validationConstraints that validate an instance rather than one field, don't need to be bound to a single field.
static constraints = { maxNameLength(validator: { if(firstName.size() + lastName.size() > 50) return "nameToLong" }) ...
Partial validationThe dynamic
validate method accepts three arguments:
includes ,
excludes and
// check all constraints person.validate()// only check included constraints person.validate(includes: ["firstName", "lastName"])// exclude specific (cascaded) constraints person.validate(excludes: ["firstName", "address.city"])// check only constraints in the specified groups, this will also limit cascaded validation to these groups person.validate(groups: ["personalDetails"])// exclude the constraints in the specified groups (excludeGroups are cascaded) person.validate(excludeGroups: ["personalDetails"])// all possible combinations are also valid: excludes are removed from the union of includes and groups person.validate(includes: ["address.*", "curriculum.companies.*"], groups: ["personalDetails"], excludes: ["address.street"])
Nested errorsAll errors can recursively be fetched and cleared :
assert person.allErrorsRecursive.size() == 3 person.clearErrorsRecursive()
TestingConstraints and validation can be tested in plain unit tests without the need of special setup or mocks.
Combining Validateable and WiredBeanAdd the
be.ixor.grails.richdomain.RichDomain annotation to your class to get both auto wiring and validation support:
class MyRichDomainClass {
MessageSource injectedMessageSourceByType static constraints = {...}
- Put all precompiled classes in lib/rich-domain-binaries.jar so that the AST transformations are always available
- Fixed bug in WiredBeanASTTransformation
- Added AutoWireBeanListener for easier unit testing

Are you no longer getting the same pleasure you once had during your showers? If so, then perhaps the time has come to replace your shower head. It's important to understand that your shower head directly influences water pressure. When you only get a trickle of water, you might be tempted to call your local plumber to check your plumbing system. However, the solution to this problem may be as simple as getting yourself a new shower head. In this resource, you'll find out why you would want to purchase a powerful shower head.
- 1 Why Buy A Powerful Shower Head?
- 2 Choosing The Right Shower Head For High Power
Why Buy A Powerful Shower Head?
There are plenty of benefits to using a powerful shower head. It's usually the best way to increase the water pressure in your shower, enabling you to have a relaxing time even for just a few minutes. You probably know how annoying it is to shower with only a trickle of water coming out of the head. Stronger water flow means you can experience a good quality shower, essentially serving as a massage that helps relax your tired muscles.
A powerful shower head also makes it possible to take shorter showers. Since you can direct the flow water to the areas that you need to wash, you can finish quickly and save a lot of water in the process. What's more, modern models are equipped with new technology that enables the use of less water for the same pressure. This can amount to a lot of cost savings over the long run.
These are just some of the reasons why you should consider getting a powerful shower head. It helps you save water, energy and time, while also being friendlier to the environment. Be sure to take your time in researching different models in order to select the best one that matches the needs of your household.

Dealing With Low Water Pressure
While it's true that your shower head has a direct impact on the water pressure you get from your shower, it's also possible that other more serious issues are present in your home. Enlisting the help of a professional plumber can get you to the root of the problem quickly. The plumber can determine whether there are blockages in your plumbing, particularly in your bathroom. In some cases, the problem wouldn't be solved by a simple repair job. It might be necessary to replace old pipework in order to increase the water pressure in your home.
For this kind of condition, you can choose the YOO.MEE Shower Head, with powerful shower spray against low pressure water supply pipeline. See how people say:
YOO.MEE High Pressure Handheld Shower Head

There are other top picks shower heads for different water pressure use:
Choosing The Right Shower Head For High Power
After fixing your issue with low water pressure, it's time to choose the right shower head for your needs. Keep in mind that there are different kinds of shower heads. Many homeowners think that they need to purchase a dual head shower head just to get higher water pressure. It's important to realize that this isn't always necessary. The better way to go is to select the right model according to your needs and how good the water pressure is in your property.
If the water pressure in your home is relatively low even after fixing the plumbing issues, then it's recommended to choose a shower head designed specifically for low water pressure. This type employs new technology that makes it possible to deliver decent water pressure either through adjustable settings or using a pressure chamber.

The Appellate Division has upheld a Zoning Board's denial of a petitioner's application for an area variance even though the board did not provide any factual findings for its denial. Jonas v. Stackler, 95 A.D.3d 1325 (2nd Dep't 2012). This case is noteworthy because the Court held that a review of the entire record before the Board provided a sufficient basis for determining whether the denial was arbitrary and capricious. Even though the Board failed to provide any factual findings for its denial, the Court held that the record compiled by the Board contained enough evidence to support its denial, and found that its decision was not arbitrary and capricious.

Are you looking for a career, instead of just a job? Is a culture that values hard work, encourages individual responsibility and rewards top performers far above the industry average appealing to you? If so, then read on…
Dear Top Performer,
If you're looking for a career that will challenge you both personally and professionally while rewarding you for hard work and growth, then you'll love working for us.
First, let me explain what we do…
We're an independent insurance agency. That means we work with clients (people just like you) to help them find the best insurance policy – home insurance, auto, motorcycle, condo, boat, etc. – that fits their needs, at a premium they can afford. We also help businesses determine what type of insurance coverage they need to protect their assets and remain in operation after a loss occurs.
We're growing quickly because most consumers don't think about their insurance until they need it, and then they find out the policy they purchased doesn't provide the necessary coverage. They're looking for someone they can trust.
The foundation of our reputation is built on trust, and maintaining this reputation is critically important to us. We're one of the most recommended insurance agencies in Ohio precisely because our clients trust us to protect everything that's important to them… so much so, that they routinely recommend us to their own family and friends.
Insurance is not easy, and our standards are high. We require all of our Advisors to be licensed – Property & Casualty Insurance License to be specific – before they can discuss insurance with our clients. And that's just the beginning… the insurance industry is changing daily and to be successful, you must continue to develop your knowledge.
Our main office is located in Bellefontaine, Ohio and we have locations in West Jefferson, Urbana, Eaton and Lewisburg.
Ask any of our associates and they'll tell you, we have a professional, yet fun and enjoyable office environment. However, we take our responsibility of protecting our clients very seriously, and we have a few requirements that are non-negotiable:
We're looking for people who fit our culture: growth driven team members who work hard daily to
In that order.
We hire based on values and attitude first, resumes and degrees are secondary to our decision.
Know-it-all attitudes, showoffs and me-first behavior don't fit with our culture. We're team players, always hungry to learn more so we're better equipped to help our clients.
Slackers don't last long here. We all hold each other accountable because when our agency succeeds, we all succeed. But, success is only possible if we continually exceed our clients' expectations so slackers usually figure out fairly quickly that this isn't the place for them.
And we especially don't like negativity or gossip.
Our team is comprised of problem solvers, action takers, those who confront adversity with a confident grin knowing full well this is their opportunity to shine.
The right fit for us is someone who dislikes slackers, who thinks honesty and integrity are critically important, is looking for a career that challenges them to grow and most importantly, believes that every client should be treated like royalty.
If this sounds like you, and you're interested in joining our team, we'd love to hear from you. Select from one of our job openings to learn more.
If you don't see a job opening that's right for you, but you're absolutely certain that you'd be a good fit for our culture, complete the form on this page to submit your name and make sure you tell us why you should be considered in the "Your Comment" field.

A worker dresses a mannequin in a pilot shop at the Zara factory at the headquarters of Inditex group in Arteixo, northern Spain, June 14, 2012.
Most retailers are faced with the challenge of keeping up Zara. The retailer has a famously tight supply chain and rolls out runway-inspired styles rapidly.
Parent company Inditex is routinely praised as having "the best business model in apparel."
"We believe that Inditex has the best business model in apparel and expect Inditex to deliver double-digit earnings growth per year over the next five years," Bernstein analysts wrote, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This seemingly unflappable success is no fluke; Zara has some secrets up its trendy sleeves that helps it avoid fashion misfires.
Refinery 29 recently spoke to Jesus Echevarria, CCO of Zara's parent company Inditex, who told the website that it has a "data processing center" that's open every hour of the day.
According to Refinery 29, this center allows every single one of the stores to track sales data. Another team zeroes in on customer feedback.
Many of traditional retailers like Banana Republic and J. Crew have suffered sales blows over the past year when they have alienated their target customers. But Zara appears to have that problem solved before it even starts.
This seems to be par for the course for the retailer, which famously doesn't stock very much of one style, as Suzy Hansen of The New York Times noted in 2012, thereby allowing it to not have to worry about racing to clear inventory.
At the time, Hansen noted that the company would pay heed to how customers reacted to the different styles. Now, it seems the company has that system down pat.
Read Refinery 29's full interview here.
