It was a perfect fall day in Hampton Virginia at Calvary Assembly of God where this momentous occasion was about to occur with this amazing and godly couple; Denae Ondra and Mark Stephens. This day would not only be the day that these two beautiful people would become one in the Lord, it would also be the day when they will always remember that they shared their very first kiss! This would occur immediately after the minister says, "Mark, you may now kiss your bride!" Goose bumps even as I type this. And what a first kiss it was! Not just one, but two, or maybe even three as memory serves! And the whole church cheered! It was truly heart-warming and beautiful. And for the rest of the day every time you looked at the bride or the groom there were big joyful smiles on their faces - when they weren't kissing, of course! (I really should put a few smiley faces here, but I will refrain!)
The bride looked exquisitely beautiful in her romantic, sparkling, sequined satin gown and chapel length train from David's Bridal. And her eight bridesmaids in their oh-so pretty rose-pink floor length gowns looked absolutely lovely!. After getting ready the bride shared a first look with her father and another with her step-father. And then finally. one with herself. That's right! A first look in the mirror with just her. Denae never once looked at herself as her hair and make-up and gown was put on her, so when she finally saw herself in the mirror of her long awaited day that she has prayed about for so many years, the joyful innocence of all those years burst forth in her emotions as she realized that her prince had finally come and this was the long-awaited day when she would be happily wed forever! Before the ceremony began her handsome groom arrived for a hand-holding, no peek prayer they shared together.
During the ceremony both father's walked the bride down the aisle together with Denae in the middle donning a jubilant ear to ear smile that adorned her face the whole ceremony and thereafter!
The festive reception was held at All Generations Church in Newport News VIrginia and ended with a very bubbly exit! It was truly a blessing to be a part of Denae and Marks' wedding day journey. The trip from Chattanooga/Cleveland Tennessee hometown to Hampton Virginia is a wonderful memory for us here at Sandra Clukey Photography LLC.
Thank you for viewing and being a part of Denae and Marks' wedding day in Hampton Virginia at Calvary Assembly of God Church. We are wedding photographers located in Chattanooga Tennessee and Cleveland Tennessee and we love photographing weddings here and in our surrounding areas including Nashville TN, Knoxville TN, Atlanta GA, and Huntsville AL.

Akron will be able to hire 10 more police officers thanks to a federal grant it received this week.
Akron, Cleveland and Toledo all were awarded $1.25 million � the largest amount given across the country � through the U.S. Justice Department�s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS).
�We did well,� Akron police Chief James Nice said Friday. He went to Washington, D.C., to lobby for the federal funds.
Nice also credited the police department�s grant-writing staff.
The 10 hires will be on top of the 40 officers Akron is in the process of hiring with the help of another federal grant it received aimed at employing former veterans. The city will swear in several new officers Wednesday, Nice said.
The $1.25 million will cover the salary and benefits of 10 Akron officers for three years.
Canton was awarded $851,949, which will pay for seven officers, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney�s Office.
�Today, the Justice Department is proud to support the brave and innovative men and women fighting and preventing crime in Northern Ohio,� said Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. �For people listening to those who would indiscriminately shrink or simply shut down the federal government, today�s grants, which support cops on the street and crucial crime prevention, is a reminder of the valuable role the federal government plays.�

Maya Cosmetic Surgery Centre
Fillers are used in order to reduce the wrinkles in our face. The application which involves the injection of fillers is called anti-wrinkle treatment by Filling.
Fillers are used in order to reduce the wrinkles in our face. The application which involves the injection of fillers is called anti-wrinkle treatment by Filling.
As years go by and we age, changes start to occur both in our face and body. Years leave their trace on our face. The collagen and elastin fibres start to wear out. The hyaluronic acid content of our skin begins to decrease. Volume losses occur in certain regions. As a result of these, we observe wrinkles and sunken areas in our skin. Besides ageing; smoking, harmful solar rays and weather conditions also accelerate our ageing thereby increasing our wrinkles.
The filling application is a successful and alternative solution particularly for people who don't want to undergo an operation.
Our skin is treated by fillers in order to have more fleshy lips, fuller cheeks, and have less sunken areas in the nose region, as well as to remove the sunken areas under the eye.
For some people, tissue losses occur under the skin due to various reasons. Wrinkles and sagging develop in the skin due to damages resulting from harmful solar rays for some people whereas such wrinkles and sagging is just due to ageing for some others. Sometimes sagging, wrinkles and lines develop in the skin as a result of damages caused by sun, anxieties, influence of gravity, as well as other environmental factors. In order to save you from these problems, as well as to beautify you and provide fullness for you, fillers are injected under the skin. The sunken areas, volume losses and wrinkles in the skin can be repaired by injecting some materials under the skin. Therefore, a more youthful and attractive appearance can be acquired.
The most commonly used material in our country and the world is the hyaluronic acid. Since the hyaluronic acid content of our skin decreases by ageing, the skin is supported with fillers containing hyaluronic acid in order to treat the wrinkles.
FDA approved fillers are used in the Maya Aesthetic Surgery.
In addition to the special fillers, the own fat of persons can also be used as a filler to injected under the skin.
There are permanent and temporary fillers. The permanent material is the silicone. It's applied for once and it's permanent. As to the temporary fillers, the application should be repeated after a certain period of time. The temporary filler application is more advantageous. It offers the advantage of being able to make changes at different times.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance and is found in the cartilages, skins, articulations and eyes of living things. In addition to the materials which contain hyaluronic acid, there are other materials containing Collagen, Calcium Hydroxyl, Apatite and Polylactic Acid.
Fillers are used for forehead lines, acne scars, noses-lips, lip augmentation, crow's feet, sunken regions under the eye, dorsum of the hand, regional symmetries in the nose, sunken areas in the corners of mouth, dimples in the cheek and chin and deformations which have developed due to an accident.

Phurbas are ancient ritual objects, used within Himlayan Shamanism and Tibetan Buddhims. They have a shamanistic origin, which many people think comes from the use of tent pegs in Central Asia. They are used to pin down or kill obstruction spirits - both internal and external ones. Intermally they are used in a kind of ritualised Buddhist psychotherapy practice, to pin down and destroy ones own inner demons. Externally they are used to pin down ghosts and harmful spirits, protect people and places and have many other uses. They are also used to bless and empower things.
Phurbas come in many forms and sizes and are generally made in metal or wood, or though sometimes other material such as horn and bone are used. Iron phurbas are considered to be especially powerful, but most are made from bronze or brass. Shamans in Nepal tend to favour carved wooden ones.

A mammoth $50bn has been sliced off Apple's share price after Wall Street analysts predicted troubled times ahead for the technology giant.
The huge fall came after banks, including Barclays Capital and Credit Suisse dropped their price targets on the company's shares, reducing the average to $612, a fall of some $132.
Analysts fear Apple's extraordinary period of growth over the past few years could reach a plateau.
It may seem surprising after Apple recorded record profits of $13.1bn in the first quarter of 2013, but the figures were just a little higher than Apple made in the same period the previous year, making investors nervous that the company is showing signs of a marked slowdown.
Shares plummeted by 12 per cent on Thursday, recovering only a fraction by late morning to rest at $461.5.
And that is despite strong sales – 47.8m iPhones were sold, an increase of 39 per cent and 22.9m iPads were sold, up by 64 per cent. No figures have been released for the new iPad Mini, but it is understood to be selling well. Mac sales were, however, down by 15 per cent, but Apple does have some slack, with cash reserves totalling $137bn.
The fear though that the slowdown could be a permanent sign of things to come at Apple has led to the new target predictions, and the new share prices.
Peter Misek at Jefferies & Co cut his share price target by $300 to £500, saying the sales slowdown was "material and here to stay".
Worries centre around the ever developing competition Apple faces from rival technology firms, including bitter combatant Samsung. Since the launch of iPhone and iPad, other companies have also upped their games considerably.
With many rivals now concentrating on developing markets, analysts also raised concerns about a fall in demand for Apple's gizmos in China.
Just how Apple should arrest its share price fall is now the subject of much conflicting debate.
While some experts say the company needs to compete with the cheap Android devices coming on to the market by releasing a range of cheaper smartphones, others say such a move would dilute its high-end image, leading to customers who buy Apple for the exclusivity factor to go elsewhere.
Analysts Evercore Partners said: "Apple's modus operandi to date has been to cream the high-end off each market but, as the company has grown, it may now need to target more of the mainstream."
Others questioned whether Apple's strategy of concentrating on just a handful of devices was working, saying it needed to come up with a completely new type of gizmo.
Lots of rumours are currently doing the rounds about the direction Apple will take next. Leaks and analysis have suggested a low-cost iPhone mini could be on the way, that the next iPhone will come in a wider range of colours or that Apple is gearing up to take on the television market.
The latest expectation is that Apple is planning to launch the iPhone Plus, a larger version of the device that would compete with Samsung's Galaxy Note. We'll just have to wait and see what Apple does next – and whether it manages to restore investor confidence.

Open Source Configuration Sharing by Power Users/Developers Using YAML in a Wiki*
Open source is a lot of the time about the code. But what about the configurations? In some cases, configuring a platform can take significant time and depending on the configuration, the resulting application can be very different and address varied uses. The power users/developers of TikiWiki CMS/Groupware had exactly this problem of configuration being too tedious and full of reinventing the wheel each time. They then figured out a way to share configurations as easy-to-learn YAML inside a wiki so that other power users/developers can make use, enhance and combine these modular application configurations, leading to new and innovative applications that are easily deployed through an automated system. The same approach should be possible for configuration sharing for many different platforms, not just Tiki.
With over 1,000 features and configuration options, the open source TikiWiki CMS/Groupware platform has been used for applications ranging from web content management, online collaboration, file sharing, documentation, intranet/extranet, project/event management, knowledge sharing/management, wiki, blogging, social media, and online community. With over 200 people who have committed code to the project, there are hundreds of thousands of Tiki installations worldwide, including the Firefox Support site that is directly linked from in-browser help.
With so many possibilities for different uses, the Tiki Community was looking for a way to rapidly deploy applications on the platform, avoiding tedious and repeated "reinventing the wheel" configuration of the many individual features. These deployment configurations are defined in YAML, a popular machine-parsable data serialization format that is designed for human readability. Called Tiki Profiles, these configurations are extremely modular, and can be combined to form larger applications. For example, it is possible to combine the configurations for a Time Sheet, a Task List and a Consultant List, to create a basic consultant time-management system. When executed, the Tiki Profiles engine will automatically configure necessary features, create content pages, data structures, user groups, permissions, and input forms that make up the application.
These modular configurations in easy-to-learn YAML are shared just like open source code, but within a wiki, profiles.tikiwiki.org. Not just developers, but power users and business analysts can enhance or combine these configurations, leading to new and innovative applications for the platform. For example, the basic consultant time-management system as mentioned above can easily be augmented with a Budget Tracking application to enhance billing management. Repeated application configuration becomes easy, and application variants can be managed more effectively as incremental add-ons to the same base Tiki Profile.
The same approach of open-source sharing of configurations should be applicable to most platforms that involve significant numbers of configuration options and choices leading to differing applications. It can also allow power-users and not just coders to be more involved in contributing to the open source community.

That Yellow Screen in the Taxi Isn't a GPS
April 24, 2007
Boston cabs recently began sporting oblong boxes with simple LCD screens anchored on the dashboard next to the driver. Always curious, I asked: GPS?
No. Instead, it's something that has anecdotally greatly improved the drivers' fare intake: A computerized dispatch system to replace the constant stream of radio announcements. Before, every cab could hear the available fares over the radio, so the first one there won and the others had to find someone else.
Now, the number of available fares are listed by zone – a two- or three-digit number assigned to a section of the region, memorized by the drivers. If they want to claim a fare, they signal that with the press of a few buttons. The first to claim is the only one who sees the exact address. The rest just return to the main screen, or a person on the street flags them down. There's limited directional help, just the cross street for a particular address.
The two drivers I've talked to about the system love it. One scoffed about the few drivers who have bought their own separate GPS navigators. Partly it's a question of self-respect as a cab driver, partly it's about the number of accidents the GPS users get into trying to watch the GPS, watch the dispatch, scan the streets for random fares, and drive without hitting anything.

Excerpt from 'Fantasy Land':
Nate was engaged to a girl named Beth. Beth was smart and confident and I hated her. She was a child speech pathologist. She helped children with adorable lisps talk better. I would have hated him too had he not been cheating on her. It redeemed him, somehow. Nate always fucked things up. It seemed to be the only thing he was good at and I admired him for it. He didn't beat himself up over it, he just continued forward with a sheepish grin. I first met Nate at his 26th birthday party, I was serving at the Wheat Sheaff and he bumped into me on his way to the bathroom to vomit, as a result of the altercation he'd puked all over his own leather jacket. Later, to get it clean, he boiled the thing in a pot on his stove. After he boiled it the arms fell off and for a while he wore it as a sort of sleeveless leather vest.
I was going through a phase where I liked guys who were completely unavailable because it made me feel better when the romance ended in failure.
Nate was sitting in his blue Honda civic outside the house. He looked nervous and miserable in the driver's seat, which was the way he usually looked. He'd always had a bit of a panic disorder. I shot him my most alluring over-the-shoulder glance. "Just drive. Anywhere."
He blinked at me apologetically, even though he was the one who should have been furious. "I can't."
"Why not."
"I ran out of gas."
"I ran out of gas."
"Right here." He turned the key in the ignition and it sputtered pathetically, an angry sound. He slid down in his seat. There was something red and grainy on his collar. Chutney.
I smiled a little bit in his direction and he scowled back at me. Part of me loved him for running out of gas outside my Father's house. There's something irresistible about a man who can emerge from constant failure unscathed.
"I guess we'll just have to talk then." Nate and I didn't have a lot of variation on our dates. First we would drive around until we got bored, then we would fool around, then finally I would prod him with uncomfortable questions about why he thought his life with Beth was preferable to a life with me. It was a routine we had both become comfortable with. Our last date was a little bit different. Last time we talked he told me he didn't want to see me again. I told him if he didn't meet me tonight I would tell Beth everything. It was all the leverage I had. I didn't want to lose Nate–he made me laugh and if he got rid of Beth he would be the type of guy my Father would really like.
Cassie Beecham:
I'm primarily a playwright, but over the last six months I've been trying to write a collection of short stories that focuses on really pathetic female protagonists. I'm interested in girls who are weak, girls who will throw away all of their dignity in order to get what they want, and then regret their decisions five minutes later. I want to do this, while at the same time making the characters likeable, or at least sympathetic.
I'm particularly interested in stories about romance gone bad. There are a lot of people who will do crazy things when they feel heartbroken. I happen to be one of those people. Often in those situations it ends up being a self-aware crazy. I like idea of moments when feelings and rational thought don't match up, and the strange actions that occur as a result of this incongruity.
I find that female characters are rarely allowed to be weak while still remaining likeable, which is a shame because generally I find weak, troubled characters much more compelling. I've read a lot of fiction where broken hearted men hole themselves up in cabins unable to interact with the world, drop everything and follow their lost loves across continents, lash out violently, grovel, scream, beg, and generally act inhuman while still remaining the character the reader feel closest too. Pathetic male protagonists are often very endearing.
Female protagonists are rarely allowed to act this way. Most female protagonists surrender to their loss stoically, resigning themselves to the outcome whether they can stand it or not. Sometimes they have responsibilities to attend to, they have children, or a career, or some other pressing matter that requires them not to appear overly emotionally inclined. Female protagonists can almost always find a reason to preserve their dignity and will only lose it if absolutely necessary to save themselves or others. They rarely see their own unhappiness as a free card to act like a mental patient and they rarely shirk commitments in order to be utterly selfish. Mostly, through troubles, they persevere.
I grew up feeling (and still to some extent do) entitled to my wants, as I expect many of my generation does. This feeling of entitlement is probably my very worst quality as a human being. When things don't go my way, especially in a romantic situation, I feel as if the universe has robbed me in some unacceptable way. When trouble hits, I do not persevere. When trouble hits the rational part of my brain collapses.
When I feel jilted I'll threaten suicide, violence, or to tell damaging secrets. If there's nothing I can do to win my love back, I'll attempt at all costs to make him feel as terrible as I do. The strange thing is, as I commit these acts, I recognize how ludicrous they are, how insane and awful I must seem, but I can never make myself stop. It's only hours afterward that the embarrassment and shame kicks in.
I know that there are other girls out there like me and I'd like to believe that as whole we are not a terrible collection of people, perhaps too ruled by emotion, but otherwise well adjusted, caring and reasonably high functioning – some of us, anyhow.
Eventually I hope to have a collection of stories about girls who take the moral low ground, regret it, but can learn to live with themselves despite it.

One in 35 homes have a property damage claim related to wind or hail, and one out of every 250 homes has a theft, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
- Fire $43,000
- Bodily injury $22,000
- Water damage $ 8,000
- Theft $ 3,000
Californians spend about 54% of their monthly income on rent and utilities, making this expenditure a large part of their income. Therefore, it is important to protect your investment with a competitive personal insurance program. Here are the kinds of personal insurance products that should be included in your insurance portfolio.
Personal Liability
Personal liability protects you from damages for which you become legally liable. This could include damage you do to another person's property, injury to their body, or liable and slander. This coverage usually is included in a renter's, homeowner's or condominium insurance policy. You can buy personal liability insurance in various levels or limits of coverage. We recommend limits of at least $300,000 to $500,000. In many cases, we also might recommend a personal umbrella policy if you own your home, or have higher than average income. A personal umbrella is also useful if you own an RV, boat, or vacation home.
Property Damage
Property damage coverage is also part of your renter or homeowner's insurance and covers your liability associated with the damage you cause to someone else's property. Examples would be if your tree falls onto a neighbor's home, or your child throws a ball through your neighbor's window.
Health Insurance Related Coverage
There are many unique kinds of personal health insurance products that are smart for individuals to consider.
- Long-Term Disability—covers you in the event you are unable to continue to work due to an illness or accident. This coverage offers income replacement with different options for limits of coverage and deductibles.
- Long-Term Care Insurance (LTC)—provides coverage (up to a predetermined amount) in the event you need full-time nursing care. This can include in-home care at an assisted living center.
Auto Insurance
Auto insurance is intended to cover your liability for operation of a vehicle. This includes accidents for which you become legally liable because of your actions. Auto insurance can also include coverage for damage to your vehicle under the collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision covers damage to your vehicle caused by running into something and comprehensive covers theft and damage from falling objects. All coverage is subject to the limits and deductible you select.
California State law requires auto insurance. The state of California requires drivers to carry at a minimum the following: Bodily Injury Liability Coverage $15,000 per person/$30,000 per accident minimum; Property Damage Liability Coverage $5,000 minimum; Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage $15,000 per person / $30,000 per accident minimum. We always recommend you have more coverage than the State minimum.
Identity Theft
Identity theft insurance can protect you if your personal information is stolen. Typically, this includes your Social Security number, bank information, or credit card numbers. Identity theft can offer restoration services and help offset the cost of restoring your credit.
Home, Renters, and Condominium Insurance
The most common kind of personal insurance involves protecting your house, apartment, or condominium and is called a homeowner or renter's policy. A standard homeowner's policy can include coverage for the home, personal property, and personal liability.
Insurance for Your RV, ATV, Boats, and Motorcycles
It is essential to insure your RV and other toys to make sure you are protected in the event of an accident. These are not covered under other "standard" personal insurance products.
We are an independent agent and can find the right combination of coverage price and service form dozens of your insurance companies.

Documentary films are a strange breed. They hold a unique place in the cinematic ecosystem – hybrid creations falling somewhere between the cold, factual reality of the daily newscast and the creative, emotionally manipulative construct of the fiction film.
Their obvious efforts to deal with The Real World have audiences everywhere accepting them as accurate reflections of reality – a position of trust that fiction films can never truly hope to occupy. Given the trying circumstances in which many of them are made, they are rarely held to the same technical or artistic standards as their fictional counterparts, which allows sincere amateurs an ideal opportunity for marketing any number of worthwhile (and otherwise unviable) stories. And when done correctly, they are unsurpassed in their ability to impact an audience; nothing is harder hitting than a well-made documentary. It is a genre that completely eliminates the luxury of "disconnecting" from a subject that so often provides us with protection during our film-watching experiences. There are no viewers distancing themselves from the work through the protective mechanism of "purely coincidental similarities" here; the people and the stories being told about them are (at least mostly) real.
The French film Elle s'appelle Sabine (Her Name Is Sabine) is a perfect example of a director using the documentary form to its full potential. Winner of a FIPRESCI (International Federation of Film Critics) Award last year at Cannes, it tells the story of Sabine Bonnaire, the autistic sister of famed French actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Sandrine, who developed, directed, and even shot the majority of the film herself, combines family videos from as long as 25 years before with current footage to paint a devastating portrait of her sister: a talented yet clearly troubled young woman whose mental condition went undiagnosed and untreated for many years, gradually allowing her to fall under the relentless influence of a debilitating disease. As Sabine grows progressively more unapproachable, profane, and even violent, her family struggles to cope with her ever-increasing medical needs. But after years spent caring for her in the relative comfort and safety of her own home, they are forced to admit that they are no longer equipped to do so, and must finally turn to institutional care.
After five dehumanizing years in a psychiatric hospital, Sabine is finally diagnosed as psycho-infantile with autistic behavior, and finds refuge in a specialized treatment center in the French countryside. There she begins the long, uncertain road to recovery, ably assisted by the center's extraordinary curators, whose heroic generosity and Christian self-sacrifice in caring for their "special needs" patients is one of the highlights of the film. In one particularly enlightening sequence, a resident endures a cluster of major seizures while returning from a supervised stroll. The caretaker who accompanied him on the walk displays the most extraordinary patience and genuine concern during the entire incident.
Unlike the Cuckoo's Nest-style horrors of such psych-ward documentaries as Frederick Wiseman's Titicut Follies and John Huston's Let There Be Light – interestingly, both banned for their unflattering portrayal of the American mental health community – Bonnaire's film never shows us footage from Sabine's actual institutionalization. Nor does she claim that her sister's condition is the result of abusive treatment at the hands of the psychiatric hospital's employees. In fact, the film openly wonders how much of Sabine's decline is the result of her (possibly) neglectful treatment while in the ward, how much of it is simply the natural consequence of her disease, and how much might be attributable to the death of her eldest brother and the inevitable breakup and diffusion of her family.
One heart-wrenching scene about halfway through the film underscores that last question most particularly, when Sandrine takes Sabine to her room in the treatment center to be interviewed. Such questions as "did you make that doll, Sabine?" (she did indeed, and it is beautifully made) and "who locked away your things?" (Sabine herself asked that they be removed so that she would not destroy them during one of her many unpredictable and violent outbursts) are constantly interrupted by Sabine's insistence on likewise being allowed to ask Sandrine some questions. After a half-hearted effort to keep her sister on topic, Sandrine agrees. But Sabine only has one question, which she asks over and over again, some 20 times: "Are you sure that you will visit me tomorrow?" The period of forced separation from the love and security offered by her sister and her family has obviously had a profound effect on her.
Sandrine Bonnaire herself is very clear when describing her intentions in making this film: ". . . to make other people aware of the handicap and get public authorities to take action. Why are there so few specialized centers in France?… . a hospital is a place of treatment, hence transition, and in no way a place to live. Spending five years there makes one crazy." And it would be wrong to overlook the force with which it brings that point home; one hopes that the public authorities are watching and listening. But in spite of the praiseworthy simplicity of this effort, there is a more subtle, a more powerful message to be found here.
The way in which Sabine's disease is so intimately linked to her perception of relationships provides us with an unparalleled opportunity for recognizing the inexplicable, essential role of human dignity in our emotional and spiritual wellbeing. When Sabine and her struggles are reduced to a problem that needs to be addressed and eliminated, or as a collection of symptoms that need to be treated, she withdraws into the protective shell of her disease. But when her humanity is recognized – when her sister or her caretakers deal with her as an individual, with a full measure of the strengths, weaknesses, talents, and foibles that accompany each one of us individual human beings – she flourishes.
In the film's finale, Sandrine shows her sister footage shot during their visit to the United States – a time of particular pleasure for Sabine, who was already beginning to display the tell-tale signs of her advancing disease.As the footage unfolds before her, Sabine weeps. Her sister, concerned that the emotions may be too much for her sister, hastens to turn it off, only to be assured by Sabine that they are "tears of joy." And as the memories of that visit draw to a close, Sabine flashes the shy, marvelous smile so often present in the images of her childhood and so sadly absent in her present existence. It is a breathtaking reminder that the original, the "real" Sabine is still there behind the mask, even if it's often difficult to see.
A powerful yet restrained work, the film is a message from one sister to another that their bond will always be remembered. It is a plea for greater compassion and sacrifice in dealing with those less fortunate than us. And above all, it is a reminder that science, despite its dramatic advances in both knowledge and technology, is worthless without a proper understanding of the dignity of the human person.

Jason Barkaloo
Chairman and Founder
Imagine this: the next big cure—the next blockbuster drug for your company that can tackle untreated serious health conditions for patients around the world—is just sitting in a research publication, collecting dust, waiting to be discovered. Jason Barkeloo, Chairman and Founder of Opentherapeutics will shares shocking information that will be upsetting to know people we love could have been cured, and exciting to feel a renewed sense of rigor for the pharmaceutical pipeline that has only been trickling over the past 15 years. Opentherapeutics is a freely available collaborative platform that brings together the ecosystem of research innovators, funding sources, and companies who can take the discoveries to market.
During this session, Jason addressed the following questions:
Can you describe the current-state of drug discovery—the dichotomy between drug discovery and patent protection that is limiting the proliferation of drug discovery?
What is occurring globally that is limiting the research and development efforts of pharmaceutical companies?
In your opinion, how can companies risk taking a product to market if its discovery was not patented?
How is open collaboration the answer for companies and for the hopes of patients around the world?

This week was pretty OK. We started off really strong, going into Wednesday we had 4 people with baptism dates. But by the time we hit Friday nobody wanted to listen anymore. We haven't had the chance to go back with that family, they kept putting off the appointment. So I don't really think they want to listen to us anymore. But I don't know. I'm trying really hard to keep up my faith in these people we have. This week is do or die for us to. If we don't find people who can come to church for the next three weeks we aren't going to have any baptisms this cambiar (I asked Mason what cambiar means this was his reply: cambiar is to change. but a cambio in the mission is a transfer. Transfers happen every six weeks so we only have three Sunday's for this transfer so if we don't find people who can come for the next three weeks we won't be able to baptize them.) And I finish my training in three weeks too! So there is a chance I can get moved to a different area or switch companion's, Which is tough but we can find someone. We did find the best person I have ever taught this last week. We actually met him like a month and a half ago. We seriously have been going back to his house a few times a week for the last month and he was never home. But we ran into him on the street. His name is Dario. He's pretty sweet. The reason why he was never home is because he goes to School in Bogota. He's only 21 and he's already graduating college. So he's really smart. It's been really fun to teach him, he understands everything. He said he already thinks what we are teaching is true. But he still needs to read the Book of Mormon and come to church. For us to baptize someone the requirements are, they have to come to 3 weeks of church for all three hours. He is going back to Bogota this week!! Why?!?! Haha, but he said he'll want to go to church with missionaries there so we're working on getting that figured out for this week. Well that's the work for this week. Got to find those who are ready for us this week! Keep having Family Home Evening and reading the scriptures for me! And Share the Gospel with everyone you can! That's missionary talk Haha! But really DO IT!

'Art InSide Business', a Checkmate Collaboration. Part 1
More and more, all talking the last years about the need for innovation in business and in companies general. They are right, but did they succeed it eventually? As an artist where I have dealt fairly with the marketing, with the overall organization and promotion of my work and my shows, finding sponsors and my cooperation with companies, understand that especially where I live in, Greece, few understand the concept of innovation, very few work on it and less fare taking risks.
When we talk about innovation, the first in my view on human society are the artists. They are creative, which is the basic process for innovation, searching, progress, <arrive> in the limbs, overwhelm themselves, take risks, record our society and mainly in Greece I would say, are managers of themselves and their work. Large companies are recognizing the need for increased creativity and their progress, in line with the wish of our era hire artists, collaborating with artists and generally turn to the exponents of creative industry. For example, Apple, Coca Cola, etc.
I think that companies, if not enhance, develop their potential, if labor does not educate executives and their employees, with tools that provide them with the most typical way, as an example of where are the arts, and also recognize that the public targeted will vary as to its components. For example, Greeks from the Americans, the Chinese by Europeans and so on, will continue to reproduce innovative ideas where applied successfully in other countries, but when you reproduce something, is just a copy and is not innovation!
We should deepen the business and companies operation, invading new elements, enriching and opening their horizons. Companies, organizations need to overcome the same common loop, tactics and their operation.
This is the first part of my post, accompanying them below with some related videos and articles.
Soon also I let you know about my following art shows.
Kind Regards

Hosted a second time around, An Evening for Happy Child was as successful this year as last year. Björn Wetterling kindly let us borrow Wetterling Gallery and warmth filled the gallery as we welcomed dear friends, who all share a deep commitment to the children at Barnhem Muang Mai.
This year it fell on Sussi and Hans to speak about Barnhem, the children, and the work on site. They were assisted by three of their fantastic volunteers who have been involvedworking with the children at the home – Sophie, Anna and Ulla. Serving as moderator during the evening, Marianne Rundström, from the Swedish TV show Good morning, Sweden, also played a supporting role during this presentation.
Just like last year, guests at An Evening for Happy Child were treated to some lovely singing by three song birds– Julia Koponen, Natalie Bergqvist, and Elin Rosén Wetterholm.
And while we were treated to the song numbers we were also treated to various delicacies and good wine donated by Kent Jansen at Delikatessgrossisten, www.delikatessgrossisten.se
The raffle was also a hit, thanks to all of the wonderful gifts that had been donated.
And this year, just like the first initial year of this event, the fabulous first prize was an airline ticket to Phuket, for a visit to Barnhem Muang Mai. Many thanks to everyone who donated prizes and to everyone who bought raffle tickets.
We think you get the picture: The evening of November 11 was everything we had hoped for, and then some.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of you who found the time to attend. As a group you contributed not only to the wonderful atmosphere, but also by raising SEK 42,000 ($6,000) through the sale of tickets at the door and raffle tickets.
We are also greatly indebted to Wetterling Gallery, Kent Jansen, Delikatessgrossisten, Marianne Rundström, Julia Koponen, Nathalie Bergqvist, Elin Rosén Wetterholm, Sophie Hamrin, Anna Karlsson, Ulla Anlander, Jonas Franke, Dennis Eriksson, Emelie Benson, Dansmuseet, Fredells, Fritidsresor Sverige AB, Granit, Katti Kjellvertz, Starkat, Lasse Berghagen, Lasse Samuelsson, Lifeline, Lotta Wetterholm Friskvård, Nikon, Nils-Olof Olsson, Kneissel Sverige AB, Pocketshop, Ringside Event, Scalateatern.

Kimberly Salvage of Berline Court stated that when she was 14 years old she had
brought a petition to the Council from citizens in the Fern Hill area who would like sidewalks
installed along Newark-Granville Road. Ms. Salvage stated that she had registered to vote
today and there were still no sidewalks in that area. Ms. Salvage stated that out of desperation
she would now ask the Council to add a 2 foot shoulder to the side of the road so that
pedestrians could at least get off the road, away from traffic.
Councilmember Garrett stated that the areas in the Village in need of sidewalks had
been prioritized, and Newark-Granville Road was then ranked third on the list. Mrs. Garrett
stated that the Village had twice applied to the state for funds for the installation of sidewalks.
She stated that it is not a lack of interest, but that life moves slowly in the democratic process.
Manager Plunkett stated that there are three things underway that will help Newark-
Granville Road obtain sidewalks. He stated that Bob Kent's new addition of Bryn Du Woods
Phase IV will require a pathway outside the right of way. The Erinwood PUD will also include a
pathway which will be wider than a sidewalk on the north side of Newark-Granville Road.
Manager Plunkett stated that the Village Planner has completed a bikeway plan for pathways
to be installed throughout the village. Manager Plunkett stated that two applications to ODOT
for sidewalks near the high school and along West Broadway to Wildwood Park, have been submitted (ISTEA projects).
Councilmember Montgomery stated that she and Councilmember Garrett had attended the June 3 Granville Township Trustee's meeting. At that meeting, they with the had engaged in dialog trustees concerning the possibility of a joint Parks and Recreation Commission. Mrs.
Montgomery stated that the trustees indicated they would let Council know by July 13 if they were interested in talking about the issue.
Councilmember Garrett stated that she had suggested that a committee be formed to discuss the issue. Mrs. Garrett stated that she and Mrs. Montgomery made it perfectly clear that Council did not want to take over the Recreation Commission.
Councilmember Montgomery reported on the Planning Commission's June 20 meeting. At that meeting, the commission had approved a lot split application on West Broadway, a fence was approved on East Broadway, and there was discussion concerning a dumpster placed at Wildwood Park. The commission granted permission to place the dumpster at Wildwood, however they requested a site plan for the screening of the dumpster. Councilmember Montgomery stated that the concern was that if the dumpster wasn't placed on a solid foundation, the ground could become very messy around the dumpster. There was a lengthy discussion concerning the umbrella signs at Victoria's and Brews sidewalk cafes. Some of the Planning Commission members expressed their belief that the umbrellas were an advertisement which needed approval according to the sign code. Village Planner Doug Tailford was instructed to write to the cafe owners instructing them to come before the Planning Commission next year.

McKiverain Sign Appeal
Councilmember Vance stated that he would abstain from discussion on the issue.
Lisa McKivergin of 124 South Main Street stated that she feels that without a shadow of
doubt, the red, white, and blue colors had been discussed and approved at the Planning
Commission meeting. She stated that she had had color photographs of the sign and
distributed them to the Planning Commission members. Mrs. McKivergin stated that the actual
sign did take her by suprise. She stated that the sign ordinance is pretty liberal, and that the
sign ordinance needs to be addressed if people do not like the sign which had been approved.
She stated that when you look at the graphics of the sign installed, they are different than what
was approved. She stated that she was just appealing the red, white, and blue colors which she feels was approved.
Councilmember Garrett stated that she had not been on the Planning Commission the time at that Mrs. McKivergin's sign was approved. She stated that she had seen the sign that
was installed and has a drawing of the sign that had been approved. The sign installed is not the same sign approved by the Planning Commission. Mrs. Garrett stated that the Planning Commission had denied a sign last month because of color. Mrs. Garrett stated that as a wperirtsinogn.who had not been at the Planning Commission meeting, she had to go with what is in
colors. Mrs. McKivergin stated that there was not a place on the application to put the sign
Councilmember Garrett stated that the sign code stated that the colors must be subdued.
Mayor Eisenberg stated that this was a simple case where the sign installed is not what wwhaastaispproved. Mayor Eisenberg stated that as far as he can see, the sign installed was not approved.
Councilmember Garrett stated that Mrs. Mckivergin erected a sign not approved by the CPolamnnminisgsiConommission .She stated that Mrs. McKivergin would have to go back to the Planning and reapply.
Mrs. McKivergin stated that she agrees that the actual sign installed is not what had been approved, however she feels that the colors were approved. She stated that if you ask the Village Planner what color he expected the sign to be, he'd say red, white and blue. Councilmember Garrett moved that the appeal be denied.
Mrs. McKivergin stated that the only thing she is appealing is the red, white, and blue colors. She stated that in her opinion, the colors had been approved.

Councilmember Montgomery seconded the motion to deny the appeal.

Marshall yes, Mayor Eisenberg yes. Six yes votes, the appeal was denied.
Councilmember Montgomery stated that she had asked at the Planning Commission
meeting why there was not a place on the application for color. She stated that the application
should at least state what the code says. She stated that the response from the Planning
Commission was that it is the applicant's responsibility to get the information. Mrs. Montgomery
stated that there was no place on the application that mentioned colors, and perhaps the
application should be changed.
Manager Plunkett stated that the application was a basic zoning application. He stated
that perhaps it was time to consider a new application for signs alone.
Vice Mayor Marshall stated that the Village Planner could probably draw up a new sign
application form.
Manager Plunkett stated that he would direct Mr. Tailford to make a new sign

Manager Plunkett stated that he had received the federal hazardous materials routing regulations from ODOT and had suggested that Council appoint a committee to review those regulations to see what the next appropriate steps, if any, and to suggest alternate routes. Manager Plunkett stated that he figured Mr. Crais would like to serve on the committee.

Mr. Crais stated that he would be out of town alot over the next year however, he would
be glad to assist the committee when he is home. He stated that from the conversations he
has had with the residents and from his survey results, the issue extends beyond just the
hazardous material traveling on North Pearl Street. He stated that the speed of traffic is also a
problem. He stated that everyone he talked to is concerned with the speed of traffic, especially
with the amount of children who walk in the area.
Vice Mayor Marshall asked Mr. Crais if he felt the posted speed limit was appropriate?
Mr. Crais stated that he thought the speed limit was appropriate but motorists did not
obey the speed limit. He stated that if you only coast down the hill, you will be speeding
through town. He stated that perhaps new signage would control the speed and flow of traffic.
Councilmember Garrett stated that if one travels on North Pearl Street from Cedar
Street, as you come to the incline and proceed around the corner, by the time you get to the
Chamber's residence, you are traveling 30 mph.
Manager Plunkett stated that the issue had been argued with ODOT before. He stated
that had the 25 mph speed limit not been journalized along time ago, ODOT would have raised
the speed on that road in 1987.
Mr. Crais asked if the Council had sought legal advice on what power Council had
regarding traffic control on North Pearl Street.
Manager Plunkett stated that the Village could not install stop signs without adding
some liability to the Village which will govern what can be put up. He stated that if the Village
installed a sign to control speed that wouldn't be justified. Without justification, the Village
could be liable for anything that happens as a result.
Councilmember Vance stated that the citizens in the area could petition ODOT.
Mr. Crais stated that he was impressed by the police presence in the area. He stated
that the police seem to be picking up someone every 10 -12 minutes.
Councilmember Vance stated that he liked the idea of a committee being formed with
residents in the area to look at all the issues. He stated that the committee Council could get back to with suggestions. "
Mr. Crais stated that there were plenty of citizens in the area that would be willing to serve on the committee.
Mayor Eisenberg stated that the Village has always tried to avoid having a reputation of speed traps in the Village. He stated that the Village is careful to avoid heavyh-anded enforcement.
Councilmember Freytag stated that in his opinion, it is impossible to have a suit against the Village for installing a stop sign. Mr. Freytag stated that he had never heard of that. He stated that he did not think liability was an issue.
Mayor Eisenberg suggest that rumble strips could be installed for speed control. Mr. Crais stated that this was a very serious issue. He stated that more results have come in regarding his survey. He stated that people are leaving the area because of the situation which is pretty bad in a community that is highly desirable.
Manager Plunkett stated that the rumble strips could be installed quickly and easily. He stated that he would contact ODOT for approval.
Councilmember Montgomery asked if a traffic study was to be done in the area, would the Village have to pay for it?
Village of Granville

Page 6
Manager Plunkett stated that yes the Village would be responsible for paying for a
traffic study. Mr. Plunkett stated that Clyde E. Williams had been hired as the Village traffic
engineer. He stated that if Council is interested, they could hire a professional to study the
area and make recommendations.
Councilmember Vance stated that in his opinion, the residents in the area are looking
for something different than what is customary. He stated that what is customary is not working
for them. Councilmember Vance stated that in his opinion, if a traffic study is performed, there
will not be enough traffic to justify any change.
Vice Mayor Marshall asked for volunteers to serve on the committee.
Mr. Crais stated that he would have the names of two area residents in that area to
serve on the committee by the next Council meeting.
Councilmember Montgomery stated that she would like to see the statistics on the
survey in terms of how many surveys were sent out and how many were received back.
The next Planning Commission meeting will be Monday, July 18, 1994.
The next Council meeting will be July 20, 1994.
Councilmember Vance moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:53. Seconded by Councilmember Garrett. Motion carried.

So, yeah, as if weeks of Drag Race portraits weren't enough, I decided to draw my two favorite judges from the show--aside from Rupaul, of course. (My portraits of her are on their way, don't worry) Santino Rice: When did he get so cute?
And Michelle Visage: Sorry Raja, but she should've been America's Next Drag Superstar! (I mean that in only the best way, Michelle!)
Stay tuned for my Rupaul portrait(s), the Pit Crew, and the reunion show!

Under French law, the court can still convict and even jail the suspect, regardless of the prosecutor's position.
Barbarin and his co-defendants have denied covering up anything, and Barbarain said he learned of the full story about the priest's abuse only after scandal went public in 2015, when a former scout went public with allegations that he was abused as a child 25 years earlier.
Priest Bernard Preynat was charged with sexual abuse in 2016, and is expected to be tried later this year. Though he was interviewed by church leaders in 1991, Barbarin stopped him from working with children in September 2015.
Barbarin faces up to three years in prison and a 45,000 euro fine if he is found guilty of failing to report abuse of minors and failing to assist persons in danger.
