Got something to say?
We can help you find the right media for your message. We don't take commission on media buys so you'll get impartial advice with your best interest in mind.
Copywriting and Copy Editing
Did you hear that door slamming? It was the sound of your customer leaving as you promoted product, price and terms over and over and over. Today, your customer wants to hear your authentic story. We can help you discover your story as well as tell it in every form of marketing including brochures and newsletters. We'll apply the "five Cs" to ensure your content is clear, correct, concise, consistent and comprehensible.
Creative Packages
Imagine the possibilities if you knew exactly how much it was going to cost to design all of your newspaper, web, TV and radio spots! Our Creative Packages provide you with certainty you can hang your hat on.
Direct Mail
You should stand out among all the other screaming businesses in your market. Copying the last letter or post card promotion you saw is rarely the formula for your success. We create compelling copy and graphics that will make your customers respond.
Tell Ms. JonesTM E-Mail Marketing
Reach out and touch someone, 21st century style. Choose from catchy content, customizable templates or custom designs that are informative, educational or promotional. We do all the work for you, unlike those big national companies that give limited options and make you manage your own campaigns.
In-Store and Online Video
Who better than you to tell your story? A combination of creative writing, persuasive writing, video editing and radio elements combine to make a clip that promises to be more interesting than looking at someone else's vacation pictures.
Persuasive Writing
Roy Williams says, "Other than ransom notes, persuasive writing is the most lucrative writing in the world." We agree. Persuasion is very different than story telling. We write your company's need for advertising as a call to action.
Point of Purchase Marketing
Why stop telling your story in your store? Use your branding message, colors and logo consistently throughout your organization on price tags, group tags, brochures, promotional signage, directional signage, sales forms and even on the bathroom door.
Print Advertising
Visual ads must engage the mind and imagination quickly. The newspaper is best for moving merchandise with short-term offers. The impact of your print advertising needs to be at its peak because rarely will you have more than one opportunity to convince the customer using print. Learn how and when to use it most effectively and stop spending money just because "that's the way we've always done it." Products include:
Single sheet and broadsheet inserts
Newspaper and magazine ads
Radio Advertising
Some believed "video killed the radio star," but we know nothing could be further from the truth. Scientifically, humans are wired to live in their imaginations. Our copy and production techniques surprise Broca. (Look it up, but beware.) Ads proceed directly to the decision making part of the brain. Let us find and tell your untold story. If you don't chicken out, we know mountains might move.
Television Advertising
Looking like a homemade hokey in your television commercials is not the independent store owner's badge of honor. Be afraid of a local cable rep whose commission check depends on convincing you otherwise. We exclusively use Final-Cut Pro, the state of the art movie editing software, for each of our customized spots. While vacationing across the country you will not see your spot playing in some other guy's market. We create each spot one at a time for maximum impact. You'll be surprised how little it costs to look like a $1,000,000 bucks.
Just because everyone else in your industry "does it this way" doesn't make it right. Of course, if your only desire is to look like the Joneses, then we will take your money and copy whoever you tell us to. We prefer to discover your untold story, to develop your customer personas, and write compelling copy to all four basic personality types. By using the latest technology we will work to have you king of your mountain faster than you can say, "Shazam!" Products include:
Website design
Website content
Web hosting
Web posting and maintenance

In 2021, compulsory education age will be extended from 16 to 18 according to the government programme. This will apply to all programmes at upper secondary level.
The Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture has prepared a proposal for a quality strategy in vocational education and training until 2030.
Vocational education and training (VET) in Finland is an attractive educational option. It is competence-based and learner-oriented.
The 2019-23 government programme aims to increase the number of people completing upper secondary education, improve outreach, invest more in VET and promote continuing learning.
In its programme for the second semester of 2019 the Finnish EU Presidency puts emphasis 'on taking full advantage of research, development, innovation and digitalisation.' Fostering skills education and training is part of an EU strategy to create sustainable growth and wellbeing for its citizens.
Cedefop Head of Department for VET Systems and Institutions Loukas Zahilas presented the agency's work on the changing nature and role of vocational education and training (VET) at the Taitaja2019 international seminar, in Joensuu, Finland, on 22 May.
A National Forum for Skills Anticipation report highlights changes in competences and skills that will be needed in 2035. Important future skills include customer-oriented development of services and knowledge of sustainable development. The labour market will require digital, information evaluation and problem-solving skills.
More than a half of learners enrolling in vocational education and training (VET) have previously acquired an upper secondary or tertiary level qualification. This reflects the role on VET in lifelong learning in Finland.
The Finnish government's new budget proposal for 2019 includes plans to grant a learning material supplement to some upper secondary learners, including VET. Although upper secondary education is free of charge, students are required to buy their own learning materials.
A new funding system for vocational education and training (VET) at secondary level was included in a 2018 reform; it will be fully in force in 2022, after gradual implementation. Funding is divided into several core parts: performance-based and effectiveness-based, as well as strategic.

Peggy Harris is a gifted artist best known for her endearing, signature style of painting baby animals. She is an internationally acclaimed wildlife artist,
teacher, and television personality. After receiving an art degree from the University
of Kansas, Peggy embarked on her creative career, which now spans more than 20
years. Peggy notes that, "it didn't just happen
overnight. It was achieved one painting at a time, one day at a time."
Peggy's career as a wildlife artist catapulted when she, along with a few friends, were brainstorming about what types of art were readily available and what types of art were challenging to find. The answer, she discovered, was "animals," especially "baby animals." As Peggy explains, "that was the start of it all." It was a perfect match because Peggy truly loves baby animals.

My comment on the facebook wall of The Leaky Boob was: "I think that post is overkill. My pump has been used in pumping for three babies over the course of 4 years. I honestly have never seen milk back up into the tubing (when I overflow, it goes onto my clothes). It's probably 'dirty' inside, anyway. I'm not going to freak out about the possiblity of particles blowing into my milk from inside the pump though. Me and my family are healthy and no one is immunocompromised. I just don't think it's worth getting that worked up about unless you are dealing with a sickly infant." So far, over a dozen mothers have "liked" my comment, which is encouraging.
Despite my outward confidence, curiosity got the best of me. Before I even had a chance to leave work for the day, I started to pull my breast pump apart. I just had to know... Was there mold growing in my pump? As stated in my comment above, my breast pump is over four years old and has been used to pump for three babies. I have a Medela Pump 'n Style. I couldn't find one on the Medela website for comparison, so I don't think they are made any longer. Still, for the benefit of any mothers out there who are still using one of these (and are quietly freaking out inside), I give you my photos:

Recently, History Channel's popular television show Pawn Stars featured an unusual—and valuable—artifact familiar to Latter-day Saints: an 1842 fifth edition copy of The Book of Mormon. Adam, who owned the book and brought it in, explained that theological books are not often very valuable, but because of the history surrounding it, valued it at $25,000.
1842 copies of The Book of Mormon are actually the scarcest of all copies of the Book of Mormon. It is the last edition printed under the direction of the Prophet in Nauvoo. Because his father had passed away before its completion, it is the only volume that credits Joseph Smith without his usual suffix "Junior."
Rebecca Romney, a professional book appraiser, was called in to confirm the value. After explaining (quite accurately!) the history of the First Vision and the violence and persecution in early Latter-day Saint history, appraised the book at $40,000. It was ultimately sold to the Pawn shop for $24,000—still an impressive price!
You can watch the episode here (minute 7:00 to 11:09), but beware of a few swear words.

'Only presence phone or tablet disturbs sleep, youth
Photo: Hollandse Hoogte
The mere presence of a phone or tablet in the bedroom can sleep problems cause in young people. May be they are agitated by the anticipation of messages.
Researchers from King's College London and Cardiff University studied 20 existing studies in which a total of 125,000 children between six and nineteen years participated.
Only the presence of devices that provide access to (social) media to raise the risk of sleep deprivation with 79 percent. The chance of a poor quality of sleep increases by 46 percent. The chance of a drowsy feeling the next day increases by 127 percent.
"When you look the first is what you do in the morning and the last thing you do before you go to bed, then, this points to addictive behaviors," said research leader Ben Carter. The results of the research are gepbuliceerd in JAMA Pediatrics Journal.
Although his theory still cannot fully substantiate, thinks Carter that the use of social media in the evening, a person constantly alert. "When you send a message before you go to sleep, you are still aware of the fact that you have a message can get it back."
According to the researchers, phone and tablet within the ninety minutes before bedtime not to be used for a good night's sleep.

The Loop is reporting that sources have apparently told them about Apple's plan to cut 32 game titles and certain hardware devices such as printers, scanners and some hard drives, to make more room in Apple's retail stores for the new in-store personalized setup services that started in January 2011.
Before you start freaking out at the thought that this may be the end of games for Apple computers, consider one thing: the Mac App Store.
Saying goodbye to third-party Mac products isn't a bad thing. Not only are games not great selling software titles for the company, it's not like we were buying the overpriced printers and scanners just because they were suggested by the employees of the store either. Most of the important, worthwhile software has migrated to the Mac App Store so there isn't as much need for boxed products that take up space.
The Mac App Store cuts down on the need to go to the retail location and pick up new software. Instead, we get instant gratification (well, minus download speeds) so we can go forth and edit that family film or Photoshop our Facebook profile picture as soon as possible. I'd gladly give up the experience of going to an Apple store, spending an hour looking for the box of the program I want, and then waiting another 30 minutes to purchase the product because the line was long. So, yes, we may go down to eight games being sold at each store, but using the space to show customers the basic functions of their new computers just makes more sense in the App Store age.

How does hank use king arthurs new standing army to help relieve the country of the burden of providing each newborn prince a royal grant
How does hank use king arthurs new standing army to help relieve the country of the burden of providing each newborn prince a royal grant
From the text:
But I believed I saw my chance at last. I would form this crack regiment out of officers alone—not a single private. Half of it should consist of nobles, who should fill all the places up to Major-General, and serve gratis and pay their own expenses; and they would be glad to do this when they should learn that the rest of the regiment would consist exclusively of princes of the blood. These princes of the blood should range in rank from Lieutenant-General up to Field Marshal, and be gorgeously salaried and equipped and fed by the state. Moreover—and this was the master stroke—it should be decreed that these princely grandees should be always addressed by a stunningly gaudy and awe-compelling title (which I would presently invent), and they and they only in all England should be so addressed. Finally, all princes of the blood should have free choice; join that regiment, get that great title, and renounce the royal grant, or stay out and receive a grant. Neatest touch of all: unborn but imminent princes of the blood could be born into the regiment, and start fair, with good wages and a permanent situation, upon due notice from the parents.
All the boys would join, I was sure of that; so, all existing grants would be relinquished; that the newly born would always join was equally certain. Within sixty days that quaint and bizarre anomaly, the Royal Grant, would cease to be a living fact, and take its place among the curiosities of the past.

text: Tackling Dry Air in the Winter Posted January 5, 2018 With much of the country dealing with colder than normal temperatures, comfort seems to be of high importance for most of us. Daily comfort extends beyond ensuring you have a warm coat and gloves, too. The colder weather essentially sucks the humidity out of the air, which can affect the comfort of your indoor space in several ways.. Dry air is the culprit for several issues, including an increase in your chances of getting sick and an increase in potential shocks from static. Of course, they aren't even in the same realm of seriousness, but they are both annoyances that may be prevented with the use of a humidifier. Why does the air dry out? The colder air changes the makeup of the air during the winter. Cooler air isn't able to keep in the same amount of moisture as warmer air, which you likely notice when you experience dry skin and chapped lips. That dry air can also wreak havoc on wood floors and furniture, potentially causing splitting and cracking, and paint is also at a higher risk of chipping. So, what can you do? There is more to humidification than just increasing the amount of moisture. There are a lot of different models and types of humidifiers to select from, but adding a whole-home humidifier gives you the best control over humidity levels in your house. Working in partnership with your existing HVAC system, it adds moisture directly into the heated air that is circulated throughout your indoor space. A whole-home humidifier circulates the moisture more consistently and in the ultimate capacity, too, so why settle for anything less than ideal comfort? Bonus Benefits Adding a humidifier can help improve skin irritations and dry skin. Keeping humidity levels in check reduces the chances you'll need to repair furniture, flooring or paint due to damage. Reduce the occurrence of shocks from static electricity in your home. Foster an ideal environment for indoor plants to grow. Keeping your home's air properly humidified can give plants the best space to live in, helping them live longer. There are solutions available to make sure you don't have to deal with the implications of dry air in the home. Proper humidification of your air is easier than you think, too, so why wait any longer? Adding a humidifier to your house can keep you comfortable in the home while also increasing the chances you'll stay healthy during the sick season. For more information on how a humidifier can positively impact your Rocky Mount home, give Davis Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 540-369-3790 to learn more. Back To Blog

Search Online
There are several fabulous websites that cater to renters in Singapore, and you can put these websites to work for you as you search. Many have great property descriptions, mapping capabilities and colour photos. They can give you detailed information about each property listed so that you can quickly add it to your list of potential properties or cross it off the list. This saves you time and energy when searching for rental property inSingapore.
Keep Your Eyes Open
Most people want to find a property that is located close to their workplace. Therefore, as you travel back and forth to work, pay attention to rental signs en route. If you take the bus, look for rental options that are located close to each stop. There is more than one way to get to your workplace, so keep these tips in mind as you travel throughout the town in your free time as well. For example, if your day's plans take you to a shopping mall passed your workplace, pay attention to rental properties on that side of town as well.
Use Property Agent Services
While each of these options can help you to more quickly located a property that is ideal for you in some way, another idea is to enlist the help of a property agent. There are many property agents in Singapore that are ready to help you with your search. You simply have to reach out to one to let him or her know that you need help finding a new place to live. Most agents will be happy to assist you and they may begin by asking you more about what you are looking for in your next home and what your budget is.
You may thoroughly enjoy browsing rental listings online and touring rental properties that you have your eye on, but it can still be challenging to find the ideal new place to call home. After all, your space may need to be a certain size, have a certain number of rooms, be in a desirable location and more. When you incorporate all of these ideas into your search efforts, you can continue to have fun searching for your property and may be more likely to find a great place to live.

Audi Q7 Preview
Flagship SUV is updated for 2015
The all-new Audi Q7 has entered into its second generation with significant changes to the SUV model.
Over half a million have been sold since it came onto UK roads in 2006 but the latest incarnation is more efficient, better equipped and is now much lighter shedding up to (a quite justified) 325 kilograms in weight.
The bonus of the Q7 is its size with three rows of seats to easily accommodate seven people. Passengers in the second row of seats can adjust them with a tilt and fold function and the third row can be folded away for increased luggage space, which goes from 770 litres to 1,955 litres.
Technology has also been enhanced in the Q7 and the 8.3-inch display screen can be worked by the MMI large touchpad, so navigation, media and even internet can be accessed easily through the Audi connect system using the inbuilt 4G connection.
New for 2015 is the ability to listen to your favourite music using Apple Car Play and Google Android Auto in the car.
Another new addition is the Audi virtual cockpit which made its debut in the new TT at the end of 2014; the 12.3-inch TFT display has revolutionised the driver's display with its crystal clear graphics. Quality sound systems from Bose and Bang & Olufsen while a detachable Audi tablet for rear passengers makes it great for those in the back seat. This Q7 really is offering plenty of technology.
Under the bonnet is a 3.0-litre TDI diesel engine producing 272PS, and using an eight-speed tiptronic transmission the quattro all-wheel drive model takes just 6.5 seconds to get to 62mph. Efficiency has also been improved and the diesel emits 153g/km of CO2 with a combined fuel consumption figure of 47.9mpg.
Standard equipment on the Q7 now includes a full body-colour paint finish, Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, a powered tailgate and newly designed 19-inch alloy wheels on the SE version.
The top-end S line trim offers 20-inch wheels, all-weather LED running lights and high beam assist function and dynamic rear indicators.
Orders are being taken now for the Audi Q7 which starts from £50,340 with deliveries starting in August 2015.

|The Favorite Son: Tee-Ballin'.
If you're a regular reader of this this blog, then you know I've coached or managed The Favorite Son's (TFS) Little League Baseball (LLB) team since he played tee-ball. I've even written about some of the ways that I think Little League Baseball provides valuable parenting opportunities, like in "Life Lessons Learned in Little League Baseball," not to mention a great way to spend quality time with your sons and daughters.
This year is TFS's last year of Majors and he's playing with a very special group of kids. There is an unusual number of very talented baseball players who were born in 2004 around here and I think this group will have a lot of on-field success during their playing careers. I think a few may play baseball past high school and one or two may even have a cup of coffee in the Majors someday.
By the way, TFS is having fun, as always. He's a solid defensive player, but TFS has more fun when he gets to run the bases. As I write this, more than half the regular season is complete and TFS is third on the team in batting average and on-base percentage, first in stolen bases and tied for first in runs, but I digress.
|Youppie: Mascot for former
Montreal Expos franchise.
I had a lot of fun at a recent game.
Back in the day, a LLB manager might have had just one strong player on his team. That manager, who perhaps thought of himself of the LLB version of Casey Stengel, in an effort to win at all costs, would make that kid his workhorse and pitch him every game. A lot of young and talented players injured their arms and needed (Tommy John) surgery. It didn't make sense, financially, for a lot of families for their 12 year old son to have arm surgery, so some kids stopped playing baseball all together and that was a shame.
So, LLB now has rules governing the number of pitches a player can throw in a game with associated days of rest. Some managers still take advantage of the rule and have players throw 85 pitches in a game. I think that is still think that's a lot of pitches, especially during the early part of the LLB season in April or the first part of May. My general guideline is 35 pitches per player followed by at least one full day's rest during the first three weeks of the season, 50 pitches with two full day's rest for the second three weeks, and up to 65 pitches with three full day's rest for the last part of the season. On one occasion, I've allowed a more experienced and mature player to throw 85 pitches during the latter part of the season, but only speaking to the player and getting input and permission from the player's father.
|Angry Cardinal
Between innings, the he was visibly upset in the dugout. Obviously, he felt that he let his teammates down by allowing the O's to get back in the game. As I went out to coach a base in the top of the last inning, I said to the player, "Shake it off. Keep your head up. We're going to need you to close this out for us."
In the top of the sixth inning in a tied, 6 – 6 game, the Cardinals had the top of the order up. TFS wriggled a single out of a sharp hit ball down the line that first baseman couldn't handle. Our second hitter walked and the third spot reached on a dropped third strike to load the bases. Then, our clean-up batter added his fourth and fifth RBI's with a clean single to left-center. The Cardinals tallied once more on a wild pitch and led 9 – 6 heading into the bottom half.
Ol' Abner's done it again.

Our closer had 11 pitches to reach 50 and, although we were on the cusp of the last part of the season, I still didn't think there was any reason to push any player. The Orioles' lead-off hitter was the clean-up hitter who singled on the first pitch. Then, our pitcher walked the next two batters on eight pitches to load the bases. He was at 48 pitches; I called time and walked out to the mound. As the infield huddled around, I said to our pitcher, "Great effort to come back this inning and battle, but the next batter puts you over 50 pitches."
As I was about to make the change, our pitcher looked up at me with a tear welling in his eye and said, "Please, let me finish. Please."
For a moment, I was undecided. I didn't want to tax the young man's arm. It was clear that he felt intensely about finishing and I respected that. I saw how important it was to him. I considered also that this player was one of the physically stronger and more mature players and believed he was in a good place to throw up to 65. We were also late enough in the season when players arms are strong enough to handle more of a workload. So, after talking to the infield about positioning, I said, finally, "Okay. Go get 'em."
Our pitcher walked the next batter allowing the O's to score a run and bringing the score to 9 – 7. The next hitter stepped into the box with the winning run on first base. Ball one. Then, something clicked. The pitcher found another gear, got the ball down, and struck out then hitter. Then, it seemed as if a light switch was flipped, started to throw nothing but strikes. The young man very efficiently struck out the next two and ended the exciting, well-played game with a 9 – 7 win for the Cardinals.
After shaking hands with the Orioles' players, the Cardinals players sat on the bench. The other coaches and I told the kids how proud we were of them to battle back, congratulated a player for getting his first hit of the season, and gave the game ball to our closing pitcher. He had his head down and was very upset after struggling, I think, may have learned another great LLB lesson, which may last him a lifetime, "Regardless of the things that have happened in the past - good or bad, work hard, give your best, and good things can happen."
Like I said, I'm having fun.

Nicki couldn't have summed up the goal of my summer any better. If you can't find me and it's blazing outside, I'll be laying out by Belmont Harbor. A quick, Bus 77 ride away from my apartment, the walkway along Belmont Harbor doesn't get as crowded as Fullerton Beach or North Avenue Beach.
While this part of the lakefront doesn't have any sand, if you don't mind laying on a towel on concrete, it's the perfect spot. There are even a lot of rocks along the lake, making some nice, natural, sit-in-the-water seats. My friends and I have titled this place, the Rock Spot.
The Rock Spot is an ideal location to soak up the summer sun and skip all the hot sand. I've never been a fan of coming home from the lake and having to dump out the sand in my bag. My inner neat freak is not okay with the residual graininess and stickiness that undoubtedly comes from a day at the beach.
Dipping my pinky toe into the water this Monday morning, I thought I had mentally prepared myself for how cold the lake would be, but I definitely didn't prepare enough. According to the National Weather Service in Chicago, the temperature of Lake Michigan at the Chicago shore is currently 58 degrees. It was a glacial temperature to say the least.
I'm still waiting for the water to warm up, but until then, I'll be lounging by the Rock Spot. Hope to see you there!

Managing Your Immigrant Visa Case Online
The U.S. Department of State has gone paperless to serve you better! Immigrant visa applicants in some countries use a Department of State online application center to submit required fees, forms, and documents to the National Visa Center (NVC) for review. This tool is called the Consular Electronic Application Center, or CEAC. It's secure, easy to use, and faster than the traditional mail-in application process. Using CEAC gives immigrant visa applicants:
Using CEAC is simple. To access your case online, use the unique case number and invoice ID number that NVC sends you. After you log in, you will see a summary of your case that includes the status of each visa applicant and financial sponsor associated with your case. The status chart will tell you what steps you need to take. The three main things you need to do are: 1) pay your fees, 2) complete the online visa application form, and 3) upload required documents that you scanned and saved to your computer.
You do not have to send NVC anything in the mail. Instructions and updates from NVC will be posted in your CEAC account. You can also use CEAC to update your email address; add or delete traveling family members; and add a second or third financial sponsor.
Next steps
If NVC sent you a "welcome letter" that instructs you to begin paying your fees and working on your immigrant visa application, you should:
Read the step-by-step instructions for submitting your complete immigrant visa application package online using CEAC.
- Use your unique case number and invoice ID number to log into CEAC.state.gov/iv.
- You'll be taken to a summary page for your case. At the bottom is a status chart that lists all the visa applicants on the case (you plus your spouse and minor children, if applicable) and all of your financial sponsors.
- To pay your fees online, click the "Pay Now" button under Affidavit of Support Fee. Once its status changes to "Paid," you should click the "Pay Now" button under IV Fee for any visa applicant. You'll be taken to a screen where, if there are multiple people listed on a single immigrant case, you can pay all of their IV Fees at once.
- After you have paid your fees, click "Start Now" under IV Application to complete and submit an immigrant visa application form (Form DS-260) for each applicant.
- Once your application form is submitted to NVC, choose "Start Now" under Civil Documents. You will see a list of all of the documents you are required to submit for the visa applicant. The list is created based on information you supply in your Form DS-260 visa application form.
- Click on "Start Now" under Affidavit of Support Documents. You will be taken to a page listing all of the required financial forms and supporting documents that your petitioner and other financial sponsors need.
- Gather, scan and save all of these required civil and financial documents to your computer.
- You are now ready to submit your documents to NVC. You must do this twice: Once for your financial sponsors, and once for the visa applicants. Go back to the "Start Now" buttons under Affidavit of Support Documents and Civil Documents to begin uploading your saved documents. When you have uploaded all the required documents for every financial sponsor listed, press "Submit Documents" on the Affidavit of Support Documents tab. Similarly, after you upload the documents for every visa applicant listed on the Civil Documents tab, press "Submit Documents." The "Submit Documents" buttons will not work unless you have uploaded all of the required documents for each person.
- When all of the above tasks are complete, NVC will review your documents and provide feedback on CEAC. If something is missing or incorrect, NVC will tell you how to fix it.
- NVC will schedule your visa interview appointment at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Read detailed information on the various documents that you're required to include in your immigrant visa application.
Our website includes a list of required civil documents and how to find them, plus information about what forms and information your petitioner needs to demonstrate his or her ability to financially support you.
Ensure you have access to a scanner and a computer with an Internet connection.
If you don't have these at home, common places with this type of equipment are libraries, community centers, Internet cafés, and copy shops. You will need to scan the documents that you are submitting to NVC, and upload the scanned files to CEAC. You can only upload documents that are 2 MB in size or smaller. Documents must be one of the following formats: .jpg, .jpeg, and .pdf. You can read our Scanning and Uploading Tips online. If you save documents to a public computer, don't forget to delete them when you're done uploading them to CEAC.
Need help?
NVC's Customer Assistance Teams are ready to work with you. Read our Frequently Asked Questions on Using CEAC to Manage Your Immigrant Visa Case if you have questions. There are also helpful tips on every page of the CEAC tool, including Scanning and Uploading Tips.
You can also download printable instructions on using CEAC. If you still need help, please Contact Us with questions.

As All Hallows' Eve looms, Infinity Ward is ready to unleash its latest creation into Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare... An event filled with Double XP events, brand new game modes, and ghoulish freebies that pay homage to the nightmarish world of Willard Wyler.
From October 9 through November 1, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will play host to Willard Wyler's Halloween Scream, a celebration of all things gruesome and bone-chilling across the Multiplayer and zombies game modes.
Do you dare to find out what Wyler has in store for you? If so, then get ready for so much new content, it will make your spine tingle!
Gesture Warfare Returns
When the Gesture Warfare first came to Infinite Warfare this September, Call of Duty fans found out that gestures are not only the means to humiliate opponents, but are also ways to kill their enemies outright. Halloween Scream marks the return of this carnage-filled game mode.
Speaking of Carnage, that is the name of one of the four new multiplayer maps released in Infinite Warfare's Retribution DLC Pack. Carnage's terrifying death machines make it the perfect setting for some Halloween-themed fun, and during Willard Wyler's Halloween Scream, that map will be free-to-play on its own special playlist on Oct. 12 until Nov. 1.
Within the Carnage only playlist, you can play a variety of game modes while also enjoying Double XP. Don't get too distracted from all of that Double XP while playing on Carnage though, or you may find yourself on the wrong end of the Burninator.
Face Your Undead Fears in Boss Battle
It wouldn't be Halloween without monsters, and Infinite Warfare's zombies mode has those in spades.
The Big Bosses of Infinite Warfare are looking for a challenge this October, and it will be up to you and your friends to defeat them in the all-new Boss Battle. If you wanted to tackle the final boss of your favorite Infinite Warfare zombies episode, but had trouble figuring out the main Easter Egg, then this mode is for you, as you'll skip straight to the climactic fight with the loadout of your choice.
The first episode, Zombies in Spaceland, will be available in Boss Battle throughout the Halloween Scream event, so you'll have more than enough time to annihilate some aliens. As for the four DLC episodes, they will be available to play in Boss Battle on a week-by-week basis. That means you'll be able to slice up that Slasher in Rave in the Redwoods one week, then slide into the Rat King in Shaolin Shuffle the next, before you make a seafood salad in Attack of the Radioactive Thing and then head to the ultimate battle in The Beast from Beyond.
Of course, if you love the challenge and satisfaction of figuring out a Call of Duty zombies Easter Egg, you'll still be able to play zombie Episodes normally during the Halloween Scream event.
All Treats, No Tricks
During Halloween Scream, you'll be gifted a free Halloween-themed Supply Drop at the beginning of each week. This free Supply Drop may contain weapon variants, camos, a calling card, or even a brand-new zombie-themed Rig skin. Each week, Willard Wyler will bring in new loot to his Halloween Scream, and you can get a hint about what he'll drop on the official Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare website.
You will also get a free cosmetic item every Friday during Willard Wyler's Halloween Scream event, along with one final spooky present the final week that you won't want to miss. To receive the free items during Halloween Scream, players need to log into Multiplayer between Monday and Friday morning while online and visit the Quartermaster. The Supply Drop will be available between Monday morning and Friday morning, Pacific Daylight Time, while the cosmetic items will be available between Friday morning and Monday morning, PDT. Exact times may vary, so be sure to follow @CallofDuty on Twitter for more information.
Stock up on candy for the next month or so, because you may not want to go trick-or-treating with all the goodies planned for Willard Wyler's Halloween Scream.
For more intel about Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, be sure to visit CallofDuty.com/infinitewarfare and follow @CallofDuty and @InfinityWard on Twitter.

CPAC organizers cancel speech by Milo Yiannopoulos after 'pedophile' video sparks outrage
'We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient.'
Controversial right-wing figure Milo Yiannopoulos will no longer be speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which kicks off in Maryland this week.
Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organizes CPAC, announced the decision to cancel Yiannopoulos' invitation after a conservative media group highlighted publically available comments the right-wing provocateur made about pedophilia and the age of consent among adult men and boys.
Schlapp wrote in a statement emailed to the Daily Dot by ACU's spokesman:
Due to the revelation of an offensive video in the past 24 hours condoning pedophilia, the American Conservative Union has decided to rescind the invitation of Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient. It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments.
We initially extended the invitation knowing that the free speech issue on college campuses is a battlefield where we need brave, conservative standard-bearers.
Over 100 people will speak at CPAC starting on Wednesday. We give great thought to who is invited to speak, but the CPAC platform is not an endorsement of everything a speaker says or does. We continue to believe that CPAC is a constructive forum for controversies and disagreements among conservatives, however there is no disagreement among our attendees on the evils of sexual abuse of children.
Yiannopolous issued a second statement on Monday afternoon at approximately the same time news of his rescinded CPAC invitation hit.
"I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst," he wrote. "There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a coordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject."
CPAC announced over the weekend that Yiannopoulos would address its annual three-day conference, which begins later this week. A Breitbart News tech editor, Yiannopoulos has been criticized for pushing Islamophobic, anti-women, and white nationalist worldviews that align with a certain wing of the fractured alt-right movement. He has repeatedly denied being a part of the alt-right.
We think free speech includes hearing Milo's important perspective. #CPAC2017 pic.twitter.com/ssDS6HVmLN
— Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) February 18, 2017
Over the past 48 hours, conservatives and free-speech defenders began clashing over whether it was wise for far-right figure Yiannopoulos to address the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The debate abruptly halted after old footage from radio shows and podcasts in which Yiannopoulos appeared as a guest was used by his critics to accuse the British right-wing provocateur of defending pedophilia.
The Reagan Battalion, a conservative media group, on Sunday and Monday posted video footage from a television interview during which Yiannopoulos describes sexual relations he had with a Catholic priest as a young teenager.

"But you know what? I'm grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him," Yiannopoulos says in the interview, using a euphemism for male oral sex.
The Reagan Battalion also tweeted videos of older interviews in which Yiannopoulos discussed sexual consent laws and sexual assault.

Yiannopoulous discusses the incident with the Catholic priest in a 2015 interview with comedian Joe Rogan. He calls the Catholic priest a "terrible person" but denies that what occurred between them was molestation. Yiannopoulous—a long-time hater of what he deems to be liberal political correct "policing" that has led to women and people of color constantly "playing the victim" when it comes to rape or police violence—then goes on to play devil's advocate with Rogan on the idea of sexual attraction between adult men and teenage women.
"So, you're saying you've never seen a 15-year-old girl, at any point in your life, that you thought was hot?" Yiannopoulos asked.
"Yeah, when I was 15!" Rogan replied. "I'm not retarded, dude."
"No, when you were 25 or 30, you've never seen girls you thought were hot?" Yiannopoulos asked again.
"No, I thought they were little kids!" Rogan said.
Yiannopoulos—who has been banned from Twitter for staging online harassment campaigns on innocent people—took to Facebook on Sunday to defend himself against what he feels are unjustified attacks.
In his Facebook post, Yiannopoulos claimed he outed three pedophiles during his career as a journalist. Yiannopoulos—who founded the Kernel, a publication the Daily Dot acquired in 2014—cited stories he wrote for the publication on Labor Party political strategist Luke Bozier in December 2012. A Kernel story by Yiannopoulos broke the news that an anonymous hacker accused Bozier of soliciting photos from underage girls.
Charges against Bozier were dropped five months later after police realized that he had viewed photos of teenage girls in bikinis but nothing more explicit, a detail Yiannopoulos does not mention.
In his Sunday Facebook statement, Yiannopoulos inaccurately accuses Bozier of pedophilia for interactions that involved 16-year-olds—who are past the U.K. age of legal consent—and then goes on to use that exact same argument against those who are accusing him of pedophilia. Pedophilia is classified by psychiatrists as sexual attraction towards pre-pubescent children.
"I did say that there are relationships between younger men and older men that can help a young gay man escape from a lack of support or understanding at home. That's perfectly true and every gay man knows it. But I was not talking about anything illegal, and I was not referring to pre-pubescent boys," wrote Yiannopolos on Facebook.
Miscategorization or not, the damage appeared to have already been done.
I just listened to the Rogan/Milo interview. #Milo was absolutely permissive of pedophilia. It's not controversial or edgy. It's deviant.

Conservative figures that ranged from Jonah Goldberg of the National Review to Tea Party operative Brendan Steinhauser immediately criticized Schlapp for ACU's decision to book Yiannopoulos. Conservative journalist S.E. Cupp tweeted that the booking of Yiannopoulos was a sign that CPAC had lost its way.
@mschlapp As a longtime @CPAC attendee and past speaker, I'm disappointed. I hope you guys correct this. #CPAC2017

That'll do it.

Schlapp initially took a "wait and see" approach to Yiannopoulos before dropping his speech on Monday.
Joe let's see how it goes this week. https://t.co/muInLzZY0R

The CPAC convention begins on Wednesday at the Gaylord National Harbor in Maryland, and its confirmed list of speakers include President Donald Trump; Vice President Mike Pence; a range of conservative governors such as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (an outspoken critic of Trump); White House chief strategist (and former Breitbart executive chairman) Steve Bannon; Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, head of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD); and a range of other strange bedfellows and notorious rivals within the conservative movement.
Even without Yiannopoulos, it's sure to be quite the show.

Birth Photography | Wee Taco
Nesta's her birth story. A beautiful birth story photographed at Edinburgh Simpsons Maternity Unit
Back at the end of June we headed to Mull for our annual Summer holidays. Now it's a firm rule that phones are switched off on holidays with the sporadic check of the emails being allowed. So when signal kindly appeared, I had a quick glance and one email caught my eye. It started with the subject 'Birth Photography' and I knew I had to reply.
Honestly photographing a birth had been on my bucket list for a good while. Not only was it an amazing experience for me but what a gift to give back. Let's be honest I can't remember much about my two births, only the after part when my babies were handed too me so seeing yourself transition from adulthood to parenthood is a huge deal and one worth capturing to looking back on.
After a couple of emails back and forth we arranged a date to meet up. It was really important for me that we met face to face, we needed to 'click', then needed to be comfortable with me and I with them. This wasn't a decision to be taken lightly, this was big and things could (god forbid) go wrong, terribly wrong.
Week 42 came, 300 days pregnant, Mamma Taco was going to be induced.
When they arrived at the hospital they were surprised that labour had already started. Staying at the hospital until 10pm they headed home to try to get some rest, all the while Daddy Taco was keeping me up to date. We decided it was best that I headed up and stayed at their house, so I was there just incase. I arrived at 1130pm had a few hours sleep, when I had a knock on the door telling me it was time to head to the hospital.
We arrived at the hospital about 3am, where Mamma Taco was monitored for a few hours and then we all headed up to the labour ward.
At 5.45pm, after a long labour, little Nesta was born.
I won't go into all the gory details as the pictures explain all.
Once I left I was in shock about what I had witnessed. Mamma Taco was amazing. Daddy Taco was amazing. Wee Taco was amazing and the Midwifery team were brilliant.
It brought my births flooding back to me. It's changed me forever, empowered me and made me realise that I would love to be apart of someone else birth story too. So if any fo you out there are expecting and want to talk further then give me a shout!
A massive thank you to Victoria and Mark for allowing me to share this. Not only to you guys but for the journey I have been on with them. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
On a final note – we as a species really rock, like seriously – we have amazing bodies that bake babies, how frigging cool?!!


text: Power Chair Safety: Must-Have Features & Accessories February 12, 2013 Share: Share via E-mail Enter the E-mail Address that you'd like to send this page to. Enter an E-Mail Address Send Safety is an important part of renewed mobility. Accessories that increase power chair safety may be included as standard equipment (seat belts, anti-tip wheels, breaking system), or available as add-on items (power chair flag, rear-view mirrors).1 Either way, any power wheelchair safety accessory that helps to prevent injury is a feature well worth having. Three of these safety items, suitable for Hoveround mobility vehicles, are detailed here. Power Wheelchair Seat Belts The seat belt of a power wheelchair is absolutely necessary for proper and safe power wheelchair use. For maximum rider safety, the belt should be kept in excellent condition, or replaced with a new one when necessary. To protect the user of the power chair from slipping out and being injured, the safety belt must also be used each time the chair is operated, and used precisely as instructed.2 Wheelchair Flag A brightly-colored wheelchair flag3, one that attaches easily to a power chair or mobility scooter, can be an ideal accessory for users who travel to busy areas. Hoveround's wheelchair flag is six feet tall in height and helps to make riders more visible to others, whether they are going to the pharmacy, the local grocery, or to any other place their power chair may take them. Anti-Tip Power Chair Wheels Anti-tip safety wheels help to stop power mobility vehicles from toppling over by 'catching' the vehicle if it ever leans too far forward, or too far backward. This is an important safety feature that no power mobility user should be without. Hoveround installs safety wheels as standard equipment on every power chair and compact power scooter it sells. In this manner, personal mobility is enhanced with added security. Power chair seat belts, flags and anti-tipping wheels are only some of the safety features and options that complement renewed mobility with peace of mind. Contact Hoveround at 1-800-542-7236 for additional information. Find out if a power chair or scooter is what you need to safely regain your independent, personal mobility. 1Consult with the mobility equipment supplier for details about available standard features and accessories. 2Refer to the product owner's manual for specific safety instructions. 3A flag does not guarantee safety and is only intended to increase visibility. Always use caution when operating your power wheelchair, and obey all traffic and pedestrian laws in your area.

They are getting ready for the final assault. Institutionalized Italian Mafias won't surrender, as they want to size control of the International Port of Trieste, starting with the so called "Old Port" meaning the Northern Free Port. And, in order to do that, they would do anything.
After the Port Authority confirmed that the Northern Free Port cannot be modified and it is to remain a Port area, as established with the Treaty of Peace of 1947, leading to more and more ruffled and aggressive reaction from a certain part of the local public administration, which assists to the vanishing of a great business opportunity.
The leader of this assault it the City Council of Trieste (Major Cosolini) ruled by P.D. (Partito Democratico – Democratic Party, which currently rules Italy with premier Renzi), supported by the Region (president Serracchiani) ruled by P.D. as well, and by the local administrations, once again controlled by a center-left wing ready to sell off any piece of our Territory to make money, but not certainly to benefit our community. As we can learn from the sad story of the Sistiana bay.
But, in facts, their support is across-the-board. How to forget the interrogation of Europarliamentarians of PDL (Partito delle Libertà – Party of Freedoms, Berlusconi) urging the intervention of the Europarliament in order to deprive the Port of Trieste of its fiscal advantages deriving from the Treaty of Peace, only to impose a super taxation on it, meant to favor Italian ports? Or the fact that other PDL deputies openly sided for the urbanization of the Old Port, in a fatal embrace with their colleagues of PD?
The so called Old Port would have to be transformed in a luxurious citadel by the sea, some kind of Balkan Monte Carlo. A business amounting to billions of Euro rising many questions: beginning with the infiltration of the Mafia, which as for this case, might precisely be the N'drangheta.
Yet, dismissing an international port in order to consign it to the real estate and housing speculation of Italian criminal organizations is not simple. Annex VIII of the Treaty of Peace clearly establishes the extraterritoriality of the Port of Trieste, granted by Resolution XVI of the Security Council of the United Nations as well. An international Port outside the jurisdiction of any single State: this is what the Port of Trieste is.
And the people of Trieste themselves, claiming their never ceased rights as citizens of the Free Territory, are now defending with strength their port by what is now clearly seen as an aggression to the freedom of Trieste. Without its international port, our city would have no future and Triestine people have understood it well.
This is why, back on February 10th, hundreds of supporters of the Movimento Trieste Libera – Free Trieste Movement (MTL – FTM) have constituted a human barrier demanding the immediate reactivation of the Free Zone of the Old Port, which has been suspended with an illegal decree of the Prefect of Trieste. On that date, hundreds of people guarded for 10 long hours, under the rain, the passages opened by the Italian authorities in the Northern Free Port. These passages do in facts represent the attack to international legality conduced by institutionalized Mafias.
For supporting this pacific action in defense of legality, twenty activists of the Movement have been put under investigation by the Italian judiciary authority. Yet, there is no investigation for the ones that violate the Treaty of Peace, meaning the very Constitution of the Republic of Italy, apparently, that only happens against whoever opposes to Mafias and requests the enforcement of the law. But the citizens won't allow such forms of intimidation to stop them. The Northern Free Port is somehow like the Stalingrad of the Free Territory: the last defensive line, if that should fall, it would represent the end of all aspirations to freedom for the citizens of a State which currently is under the occupation of Italy.
And, as for the fact that the actions in defense of the Northern Free Port performed by FTM are bringing out good results, that appears clear: the Port Authority itself has now decided to transfer its headquarter in the Old Port, the one that should have been dismissed has suddenly become the center of attraction for worldwide investors, right inside Storehouse 26. Yes, storehouse 26, the last defensive stronghold of all the demonstrations which FTM organized in the past 2 years to defend the Port of Trieste. This means the place is not just a symbol when it comes to the ongoing, uprising of legality.
The decision of the Port Authority has obviously got on the nerves of the fierce group of speculators willing to violate international right. They are the ones that have already inserted the Northern Free Port in the urbanization previsions of the new, local strategic plan of the Municipality of Trieste. And, by now, they are risking to be accountable for that, even on a personal level. And this is how the lady president of the Port Authority, Marina Monassi, found herself under an immediate crossed-fire made of constant requests to remiss, which have even published on the newspaper "Il Piccolo" dated April 13th, 2014 as: the paper belongs to the local powers, so "Il Piccolo" does strongly supports the urbanization of the most important Port of the Mediterranean, and it curiously said demand on page 26 (!).
Is it an actual coincidence or a signal? What is certain is that the headquarter of the Port Authority has recently moved in Storehouse 26. And, between yesterday and today already, in what seems a well organized action, all along the street junction opened by the Italian Authorities and passing in front of Storehouse 26, several tires were abandoned on the concrete, causing a serious dangers. Does someone want to cause incidents? Is these Mafia-style warnings to who is trying to restore that legality that has been violated for decades in the most abandoned International Port of our planet?
The high-risk of this condition of abandonment which involves the whole Northern Free Port has often been emphasized by in the past 3 years by the FTM itself and by the courageous reports published on independent newspaper "La Voce di Trieste".
Opening the Northern Free Port to traffic by creating the junction had lead to the insertion of the viability of the Port in that of the Municipality of Trieste, allowing the beginning of the very urbanization, forced in violation to the juridical status of the International Port and creating ulterior problems concerning safety which are currently rather hard to menage.
In conclusion, the Old Port of Trieste has become the center of a coordinated action of the Italian institutions to favor the dismissal of its precious Free Zone and the beginning of a huge housing speculation with Mafia-like characteristics which would harm the whole international community. This operation belongs to a bigger plan, which is an hostile action conduced in order to reduce the main port of the Adriatic to the role of fuel port for Italy and the EU only.
And now, here comes the unpreventable throw of the dice of the Italian Mafias, to try preventing the fall of an entire system of power which lives in the shadows. A last throw to which the whole Trieste must be able to stop by standing firm, in defense of its Port, in defense of its future.

Respiratory Bacterial Infections
The skin is in constant contact with the bacteria of the environment. When bacteria manage to cross this barrier, bacterial infections of varying complexity appear. The most common bacteria that causes skin bacterial infections are staphylococci and streptococci.
Skin bacterial infections of streptococcal nature
Streptodermia is characterized by a lesion of smooth skin, a superficial location, a tendency to peripheral growth. Staphylococci are one of the most common microorganisms that can be found everywhere in nature and on the skin. Here are the most common diseases caused by them.
Streptococcal impetigo is a highly infectious disease, observed mainly in children, sometimes in women. Bullous impetigo is localized on the hands, feet, and legs. Slit or angular stomatitis is characterized by damage to the corners of the mouth. On a swollen hyperemic background, painful sliced erosion appears. Simple lichen often occurs in preschool children in the spring. Surface paronychia can be observed both in people working at enterprises for processing fruits, vegetables, confectionery, etc. and in children who have a habit of biting their nails. Intertriginous streptoderma (streptococcal intertrigo) occurs in large folds and axillary regions. Chancriform pyoderma begins with the formation of a bubble. After its removal, erosion or ulcer of rounded or oval contours remains. Its foundation is always even.
Skin bacterial infections of staphylococcal nature
The most superficial form of staphyloderma is ostio folliculitis. Folliculitis is an acute inflammation of the hair follicle. In contrast to osteo folliculitis, it is accompanied by infiltration, pronounced soreness. Furuncle is an acute purulent-necrotic lesion of the follicle, sebaceous gland, and surrounding subcutaneous fat. Carbuncle is a purulent-necrotic lesion of several hair follicles. Furunculosis is a recurring form of the Furuncle. Vulgar sycosis is a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the follicles in the growth zone of short, thick hair. Hidradenitis – an inflammation of the apocrine sweat glands, is observed in young and adulthood.
Treatment of skin bacterial infections
Mainly, the treatment of all skin bacterial infections consists of antibiotic therapy, immediately after the identification of the causative agent of the disease.
Macrolides are assigned against staphylococcal infection. For example, erythromycin. To treat streptococcal infections, injections of penicillin in large doses are used for 8 days. Treatment continues with oral penicillin.

Spy Shots: Mercedes SL-Class Strips Down and Shows off its New Grill
Mercedes just finished up with the new generation of its SLK-Class, but recent spy shots of the Mercedes SL-Class show the company hasn't wasted time preparing its next model. With a history dating back to 1954, the SL-Class is probably one of the more impressive Mercedes models, and its new generation will make it even better.
The SL-Class was caught testing yet again, this time wearing less camouflage than ever. Now we can see the more upright grille the company had to use due to European rules regarding pedestrian protection and the new exterior color that fits this sporty car perfectly. What we don't understand are those hideously ugly rims Mercedes decided to use for the prototype. Hopefully, Mercedes will nix those for the final product.
For the interior, we expect to see many elements from the SLS AMG with plenty of leather and aluminum. Power will come from a wide range of power plants, starting with a 3.5 liter V6, going to a 4.6 liter bi-turbo V8, and ending with the wild AMG version sporting a 536bhp twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8.
The new 2013 Mercedes SL-Class will go on sale in the third quarter of 2012.

Fire up the grill, it's Memorial Day! I bet that's what you are thinking, right? Of course, we all work our fingers to the bone in anticipation of the next vacation day or holiday. It's the perfect time to gather with family and friends. Or, are you a shopper? If you are, there are plenty of sales to take advantage of. When it comes to holidays, we all utilize that time off in different ways. We are entitled to it. We have worked for it. After all, we live in a country that allows us the freedom to do what we want when we want.
Do we ever think about the freedom and rights we are so privileged to have? Probably not. Our country seems unsettled and a bit chaotic, at the moment. Citizens are at odds over what they consider right and wrong. Many have taken to the streets to protest. Some protest in other manners. The bottom line is that we have the means to speak and gather freely.
The truth is, many Men and Women (of our U.S. Military) have sacrificed greatly for the freedom we all take advantage of. Agree or disagree with how the freedom has been obtained, the bottom line is we owe those who sacrificed a debt of gratitude. Keep in mind we must 'hate the war, NOT the warrior.'
Be sure to Fly your flag high. Have that Barbeque! Go buy yourself something nice! But, before you do, please take a moment to remember why Memorial Day originated and those it was created to honor. A moment of our time is the least we can do. As you honor those who sacrificed for our freedom, be sure to keep in mind the families that are left behind. Maybe take a quick trip to a military cemetery and lay a wreath or flag to commemorate those we have lost. Teach your children to understand and respect the sacrifices made.
At 3 p.m. local time, all Americans are asked to pause (as an act of National unity) for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation.
To all those who are serving or have served, we Thank You for your service and sacrifice. We will never forget.
"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them." —Franklin D. Roosevelt
