In my original goal I set I said I would run 5 days a week even if just for 15 minutes to work towards running a 5K in 30 minutes or less.
Have I?
Not this past week.
I only ran 3 times because of the horrid excuse of heat. And work. And being tired. And I got a book from the library that is due back tomorrow and I really wanted to finish it on time... yeah, you get the idea. I'm the queen of procrastination and excuses.
I am finding it very hard to get myself out there, but I will try again this week. I'm going to edit the goal for the week so that it is more realistic because even though making realistic goals is the first step in creating successful goals, I still somehow don't always make realistic goals for myself.
This coming week I will:
Run 4 times (and hopefully one of them will be a successful 3 mile run!)
Workout a total of 6 days (including days I run)
Workout a total of 6 days (including days I run)

Whether or not to staple a resume consisting of more than one page was a topic of discussion in a resume writing group I belong to. The person that posed the question admitted to being a bit embarrassed to even ask because it seemed like something that should be common knowledge. Well, this got me thinking about how many people there are out there that probably have a lot of similar questions about resumes that might seem silly to ask. Or maybe some of the things I'm going to cover don't even occur to people.
Stapling a Resume
The overall consensus among the group was that no, you should not staple your resume; different suggestions were made such as enclosing the resume in a professional looking folder or using a paperclip.
The most important thing with the dates on your resume is to keep it consistent throughout no matter what variation you use. Some different variations: 01/01/12, 1/1/2012, Jan. 1, 2012, January 1, 2012, Jan. 2012, January 2012, 01/12, 1/12.
If your given name is not the name you go by then include your nickname on your resume. This will alert the reader that this is the name you prefer. Simply put it in parentheses after your first name: Ebenezer (Ben) Scrooge.
Phone Numbers
It's standard practice to include your phone number with the area code but you don't need to include a 1 before the area code, that's understood. You should put your phone number as one of the following: 123-456-7890 or (123) 456-7890. Another alternative that is becoming more common: 123.456.7890.
Try not to, but if you are going to use abbreviations on your resume make sure they are correct. For example, Ave. not Av. for avenue. If it is a widely known and accepted abbreviation such as MBA, feel free to use it.
Page Numbers
If your resume goes beyond one page in length label subsequent pages with a page number. I also recommend including your name and phone number. If for some reason the pages of your resume become separated the hiring manager can easily match them up.
Email Address
This should be obvious but your email address should be professional. Use your name or first initial and last name. You may want to set up an email account strictly for your job search.
Subject Line
If you are sending your resume via email don't forget to fill out the subject line of your email and the more detail you can add, the better. Reference the job title, posting number if there is one and anything else that identifies what the email is in regards to.
Making Changes
If after you've printed your resume you notice a mistake of some kind do not "fix it" by crossing it out, using white out or writing in a correction. You need to reprint it.
There are so many things to think about when you're creating your resume that these smaller things might be overlooked. It's the little things that can make the difference so keep these in mind for a first-rate resume.

Start a free trial today and get access to the most comprehensive source of healthcare provider data on the market.
Our Provider Databases
It isn't difficult to find a rural region in the United States—over 70 percent of the country is categorized as a non-metropolitan area. But only between 15 and 20 percent of the U.S. population, approximately 42-57 million people, live in a rural county. Sprawling acres of land and low population density make it difficult for many rural communities to attract businesses and therefore more people, either as residents or tourists.
This reluctance by big businesses to build or relocate to rural areas is one of many factors in the cycle of falling employment rates, rising poverty rates, and a lack of opportunity that drives younger residents to urban and metropolitan areas. Because of these and other factors, rural populations are more likely to live under the federal poverty line, face homelessness or housing insecurity, suffer from preventable and chronic illness, and lack health insurance coverage.
People living in rural areas are particularly susceptible to treatable illnesses like diabetes or depression. Rural populations are also older on average than urban populations, and are more likely to suffer from illnesses associated with age, tobacco use, and cancer. Opioid-related deaths are also 45 percent higher in rural regions than in urban regions. Despite the high level of need for more than 40 million people living in rural America, they have less access to quality medical care than those living in metropolitan areas.
Definitive Healthcare currently tracks the financial and quality metrics of 4,400 active rural health clinics (RHCs) and over 1,300 active critical access hospitals (CAHs). Of these CAHs, nearly 1,250—over 92 percent—operate in rural areas. Despite the seemingly high number of available healthcare providers, this data does not account for the financial and physical restrictions these small rural facilities face.
Additionally, though critical-access hospitals are often referred to as "safety nets," they should not be confused with safety-net hospitals (SNHs). While both CAHs and SNHs provide care to vulnerable populations—uninsured or impoverished communities—they have very different operating specifications.
Critical-Access Hospitals
Critical-access hospitals (CAHs) are defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as facilities that:
Approximately 25 percent of acute care hospitals are designated critical-access hospitals. Because of this designation and the areas in which they are located, CAHs frequently have less access to funding, employ fewer physicians, and lack care specialists compared to other acute care hospitals. Additionally, due to the limitations of their critical-access status, CAHs are less likely than other acute care hospitals to have an on-site intensive care unit (ICU), offer cardiac catheterization, and have sufficient (if any) designated surgical facilities.
Of the 1,342 critical-access hospitals tracked by Definitive Healthcare, 41 have fewer than 10 beds and 15 have 5 beds or fewer.
Less than one-third of CAHs reported being part of a hospital network, further reducing the care options available to their patients. In addition, the mortality rate at critical-access hospitals is higher than at small rural hospitals not designated as critical-access. This is likely attributed to a combination of factors including limited access to capital, lower physician and specialist employment, and patient demographics.
Due to the financial burdens placed on critical-access hospitals, CMS reimburses their Medicare costs at 101 percent. However, this still is not enough for many CAHs, and most carry millions of dollars—sometimes tens of millions of dollars—in bad debt. These financial hardships make it difficult for critical-access hospitals to keep up with other hospitals, and many cannot afford to update EHR systems or to implement them at all.
Rural health clinics, unlike CAHs, primarily rely on PAs and NPs to provide medical care for Medicare and Medicaid patients, and are reimbursed regardless of whether they operate under a full-time physician. RHCs receive enhanced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates, and encourage the utilization of mid-level providers. However, they may be subject to reimbursement caps per patient visit, which can lead to very strict budgeting measures, and they are not required to offer inpatient services. Additionally, RHCs cannot operate in an area with more than 50,000 residents.
CAH's do not have a limit on how many residents they can serve in their area, so long as they meet the geographical requirements. But this does not mean they face fewer financial difficulties. According to Definitive Healthcare's database, 444 CAHs—approximately one-third—reported a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.5 or above, with an average rate of 2.39.
For many people living in rural communities, CAHs are the only reasonable option for medical care. In an emergency, patients may not be able to drive 35 miles or more to the next closest facility. People often cannot afford the cost of transportation or to take time off work to travel so far away for preventative care or treatment. Even veterans, who disproportionately live in rural regions, cannot access VA hospitals and other care facilities, and instead rely on local hospitals—which are often designated critical-access.
Despite the existence of these CAHs, rural patients are still not able to receive adequate medical care, particularly for cancer treatments and preventative medicine. Unlike many urban areas, rural counties are less likely to have safety net providers, which are better equipped to treat patients who are chronically-ill, uninsured, or are covered by Medicare.
Safety Net Hospitals
Safety-net hospitals (SNHs) are hospitals with the highest number of inpatient stays that were paid by Medicaid or were uninsured. Only hospitals in the top quartile are designated as an SNH. Currently, about 30 million Americans do not have health insurance, and therefore cannot or would not be treated at traditional hospitals.
Although SNHs, by definition, only represent one-quarter of hospitals in the U.S., they account for one-third of all inpatient stays. In 2016, half of these were paid by Medicaid or were uninsured. Safety-net hospitals are often large teaching hospitals located in urban areas. This is quite the opposite of critical-access hospitals, which can only exist in rural areas and service a small number of beds.
Like at CAHs, the backgrounds of patients seeking treatment at safety-net hospitals often lead to less favorable outcomes than the average patient. Because SNH patients are often living below the poverty line, they are at a higher risk of suffering from chronic health problems and untreated medical conditions, as well as a higher mortality rate within 30 days of treatment. This leads to complications when safety-net hospitals report quarterly quality metrics to CMS.
The disproportionate number of high-risk patients skews individual hospital data, often putting safety-net hospitals in the lowest performance percentiles. In turn, SNHs are more likely than traditional hospitals to receive quality metrics penalties from CMS, damaging their reputations and eliminating much-needed funds.
For vulnerable populations, especially those in rural areas, it can be immensely difficult to receive the proper preventative, diagnostic, and emergency care. Critical-access and safety-net hospitals provide essential healthcare services to those in need, or can stabilize and transfer patients that cannot be treated on-site. Because safety-net facilities are much less common in rural communities than in metropolitan areas, the burden primarily falls on critical-access facilities.
Though critical-access hospitals are necessary in many rural communities, they cannot always provide the same level of care as safety-net hospitals, due to smaller facilities and fewer staff members. Though rural health clinics can aid CAHs in patient care, they are only required to offer outpatient and laboratory services, leaving CAHs to care for the majority of inpatient procedures, stabilizations, and transfers.
Of the 1,376 active critical-access hospitals tracked by Definitive Healthcare, 1,268—or 96 percent—are operating in rural communities. Of these facilities, only 548—under 40 percent—use any form of electronic document management, making it more difficult for CAHs to share electronic health information to other hospitals where their patients may be transferred.
Additionally, as SNHs treat patients who cannot always pay out-of-pocket expenses, they rely on Medicare as their primary source of funding. This is also true for CAHs, due to their reimbursement percentages. Now, with the current debates over healthcare legislation and the hold on Medicare expansion, the fate of safety-net and critical-access facilities are even more uncertain.
There is already a disparity between urban and rural healthcare quality and access. It seems as though this trend may keep continuing, especially if more Americans are left without health insurance.

Definitive Healthcare has the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and integrated data on hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare providers.

TTIP's Regulatory Cooperation and the Future of Precaution in Europe
Postnational Rulemaking Working Paper No. 2016-02
Amsterdam Law School Research Paper No. 2016-07
Centre for the Study of European Contract Law Working Paper Series No. 2016-01
19 Pages Posted: 3 Feb 2016 Last revised: 9 Mar 2016
Date Written: February 3, 2016
This paper analyses the possible impact of TTIP's Regulatory Cooperation on the implementation of the precautionary principle in the EU. The European Commission argues that regulatory cooperation will not impinge on the application of the precautionary principle because, first, it does not change the legislative framework of precautionary legislation and, second, the 'right to regulate' will be safeguarded by the TTIP's horizontal chapters. In this paper I argue, however, that these guarantees are insufficient. Given the methodological and institutional constraints presented by the TTIP's institutional design, regulatory cooperation will undermine the precautionary approach to regulation in the longer run.

Greg Taylor Blog: This Is Our Year
Stags supporter Greg Taylor looks ahead to the season about to dawn...
'This is our year' as a supporter I say these four words at the start of every season and so do fellow fans, but when supporters have said it in the past , have they really believed it deep down? I don't think so. But this year does seem different, for the first time since I started supporting Mansfield Town Football Club I actually feel confident that we could win the league or win the play offs. It feels very different coming up to this season, I expect us to finish in the play offs, which is all new as a Stags fan for me, in the past I've hoped and believed it, now I expect it.
For those that don't know I was born in Barnsley and have always lived in Yorkshire and supported the Stags, so some success is a long time coming if you ask me, after putting up with Barnsley fans for years and years, it's about time I have some success to cheer. Obviously it's not just me that deserves some success, it's all of the fans for supporting the club through thick and thin and I think this season is the biggest chance we've had in 10 years.
As it comes closer to the ' big kick off ' I am getting more and more nervous and excited, questions just keep flying around my head; what system will he play? Who is he going to play? What if we crack under pressure with all the expectation? As a Stags fan you get used to asking yourself these questions after many years of wrong systems, awful signings and games where we've bottled it!
The system and players we should play- after looking at Paul Cox's signings, I've always been thinking who will play where and who will play more importantly so here is the team and system I would play.
For me it would be a formation of 4-2-3-1 with a back four of Beevers, Pilkington, Dempster and Owens, which then will have a midfield two of.... well with these two positions I feel it could be rotated between four players, Tolley, Hand, Howell and Roberts and try and find which partnership is the best.
Moving onto the attacking midfield three, which would include two wingers, Meikle and Speight with Clements or Stevenson playing the role behind the striker, now it's almost obvious who will be upfront, the man ... Matt Green, I don't really need to say much about this decision after the impression he made on the supporters last season.
With this formation I feel it plays to our strengths as it gives us stability at the back, as we can defend in numbers, by turning the formation almost into 4-5-1 when defending and it would be very easy to hit teams on the counter attack as we have four players acting as forward players. I'm not saying this must be the formation we play, I'm just saying I would like to see how it suits us , because on paper I believe this is perfect.
It's almost time people, it's almost time for the drama to unfold and for those 11 players to put us through more than we can take. We have the players this year, we have the quality, we have fans. This is where it all begins our Journey up the football league ladder.
This is our year and I believe it is. Mansfield Town for promotion, bet on it!

The call may begin with a prerecorded voice saying something like, "You may be eligible to refinance your mortgage at a lower interest rate. Please press one to speak with a customer service associate." It's not just aggravating, it's illegal: When telemarketers and debt collectors contact your home phone without your express consent with unsolicited, prerecorded phone messages, they are usually breaking the law. It can also be illegal to make calls and/or send texts to cellphones without your express consent.
Thousands of people receive these unsolicited robo calls from telemarketers every day, including:
- Offers from debt-reduction services or credit cards with promised lower interest rates
- Sales pitches claiming a car warranty is about to expire and offering extended auto service contracts
- False claims you have won a vacation package or have been specially selected for another offer
- Suggestions that you have been pre-qualified to refinance your home
- Attempts to collect a debt
- Offers to convert your home to solar power
If you've received calls like these, you should know the law protects your rights. A federal law called the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) makes it illegal for telemarketers or businesses to send text messages or to call you on your home or cellphone with an auto-dialer using an artificial or pre-recorded voice unless you've explicitly consented to these calls.
If you have received such calls, you may be able to recover financial compensation for the unwanted calls. In fact, recipients of robo-calls may be eligible to receive up to $1,500 for each call or text.
So what should you do? If you receive one of these phone calls at home or on your cellphone, simply note the time and date of the call, the phone number that is calling you and, if possible, the name of the company that is calling you. If you receive a text message, save it.
Then, contact an attorney at Righetti • Glugoski, P.C., if you are interested in learning about your rights, obtaining compensation and stopping these harassing calls and texts. Please contact our firm for a free and private consultation. Call 415-983-0900 or 800-447-5549, or complete an online contact form to discuss your situation with our lawyers.

Always Discovering
One of the most exciting things about being a part of E. EXCEL is we are always pushing the boundaries of discovery. Thanks to the revolutionary science of Nutritional Immunology refined by our founder Dr. Jau-Fei Chen, the possibilities for better health and a richer life burst wide open. By focusing on a strengthened immune system, Dr. Chen soon discovered that physical illnesses could be fought off long before they even occur. And now, everyone can experience the tremendous benefits of a healthier lifestyle.
These scientific breakthroughs are what keeps E. EXCEL on the cutting edge of improved health, providing energy and a better way of life for everyone around the world. E. EXCEL is not only discovering new natural, whole food products to support health, but our research expands to improving skin and hair with our Elemente® line.
With an incredible discovery known as Squalane, E. EXCEL introduces a new Elemente product to support the health and beauty of the body's largest organ—your skin.
What Is Squalane?
There is a special oil found in your skin since birth, known as squalene. It acts as a natural moisturizer, but it decreases as you age, starting from as young as 25 years old. Squalene previously could only be harvested from shark livers. However, thanks to breakthrough scientific discovery, the hydrocarbon produced by the hydrogenation of squalene (known as squalane) was found within plant resources, such as rice, sugarcane and olive oil.
This safe, highly-stable, plant-based squalane oil was combined with rose hip oil, which is high in antioxidants. And before we knew it, E. EXCEL developed the ultimate breakthrough in deep hydrating and moisturizing - Elemente's Intensive Moisturizing Oil!
Elemente's New Intensive Moisturizing Oil
This incredible product provides powerful hydration that penetrates the skin's deepest layers, making lines less visible, and fully moisturizing your skin without leaving it feeling oily. To take advantage of this product, you simply add a few drops to your current lotions or creams before applying to the skin. The best part is you can use this moisturizing oil for both skin and hair! For hair care, you simply rub a small amount of the Intensive Moisturizing Oil into your palm and apply to damp, clean hair ends. This will give your hair more nourishment and improve its texture.
Always Discovering
The marvelous thing about Nutritional Immunology is that it thrives on discovery. The science of improved health doesn't end with what you put in your body; it also focuses on what you apply to your skin and hair to provide the best care. This all-encompassing focus gives your body the best nutrients for the best health from the inside out, and E. EXCEL is thrilled to provide new, high-quality products derived from the latest scientific discoveries.

25 Days of Zoo Christmas
December 01, 2018 - December 26, 2018
Spring River Park & Zoo
1306 E College Blvd.
Roswell, NM
Animals at the Spring River Park and Zoo will get to enjoy Christmas throughout December this year as the zoo has expanded its annual gift-giving that provides enrichment for the animals. Sponsored by Friends of Spring River Zoo, the zoo has planned "25 Days of Zoo Christmas." Each day, from Dec. 1 through Dec. 26 (taking Christmas Day off), zookeepers will provide three different animals with unique gifts, some of which can be donated by the public. Friends of Spring River Zoo members will wrap the gifts so the animals can enjoy opening their own Christmas presents throughout the month. Except for Tuesdays when the zoo is normally closed (in December, those days have been designated as members-only days for Friends members), the public is invited to come watch the animals receive and enjoy their gifts. The 25 days of providing gifts for the animals enables enrichment that promotes the chances of the animals doing more species-specific behaviors, which increase the quality of life for the animals. Examples of such behaviors are foraging, digging, climbing, playing, using the senses and manipulation among others. For the past five years, the zoo has provided the animals with gifts on a single day just before Christmas. This is the first year the traditional activity will go on every day in December leading to Christmas. Anyone who would like to contribute a gift for the animals is welcome to, but should contact zookeeper Andrea Cole (email@example.com) in advance to ensure the item is appropriate for an animal, and to be informed about delivering the item or items to the zoo. Good gifts to provide are live Christmas trees and wreaths, wrapping paper, and red and green paper and streamers. Here is the schedule of what animals (for some of these there is just one of the animal while others have multiple animals in the enclosure) will receive their gifts on which days. For visitors coming out to watch on Saturdays, Friends of Spring River Zoo and other volunteers will be serving the public hot cocoa on Dec. 1 (beginning at 10 a.m.), Dec. 8 (noon), Dec. 15 (2 p.m.) and Dec. 22 (2:30 p.m.) Saturday, Dec. 1 at 10:45 a.m. – longhorn, mountain lion, badger Sunday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. – black bear, llama, raccoon Monday, Dec. 3 at 4 p.m. – bobcat, aoudad sheep, gray fox Tuesday, Dec. 4 at noon (Friends members only) – black bear, mountain lion, badger Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. – coati, pronghorn, red fox Thursday, Dec. 6 at noon – coyote, pony, lemur Friday, Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. – goat, wolf, mule deer Saturday, Dec. 8 at 12:15 p.m. – longhorn, black bear, badger Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10 a.m. – mountain lion, muntjac deer, birds of prey Monday, Dec. 10 at 4 p.m. – coyote, bison, lemur Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. (Friends members only) – wolf, raccoon, coati Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 4 p.m. – bobcat, coyote, gray fox Thursday, Dec. 13 at noon – black bear, pronghorn, porcupine Friday, Dec. 14 at 2 p.m. – mountain lion, wolf, red fox Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. – raccoon, coati, lemur Sunday, Dec. 16 at noon – black bear, aoudad sheep, gray fox Monday, Dec. 17 at noon – wolf, mule deer porcupine Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 2 p.m. (Friends members only) – bobcat, bison, longhorn Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 2 p.m. – mountain lion, muntjac deer, goat Thursday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. – coyote, pony, raccoon Friday, Dec. 21 at noon – coati, pronghorn, red fox Saturday, Dec. 22 at 2 p.m. – black bear, aoudad sheep, badger Sunday, Dec. 23 at noon – coyote, llama, gray fox Monday, Dec. 24 at 10 a.m. – bobcat, mule deer, lemur Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 2 p.m. – mountain lion, wolf, lemur Located at 1306 E College Blvd. For more information call 575-624-6760.

Elections and Undocumented Workers
Now that candidates are selected for the upcoming election, political parties are looking at the possible impact of various groups. Although they do not vote, one group receiving attention is undocumented workers. Of interest to those in future Congressional races is Orlando J. Rodriquez's Impact of Undocumented Populations on 2010 Congressional Reapportionment. Although Rodriquez is not predicting the outcome of 2010 Congressional reapportionment, his analysis "reveals that counting undocumented populations increases the relative share of Congressional representation for citizens of some states at the expense of citizens in other states."

Miles: 38?
Total trip miles: 1441.8
With only 3 miles to highway 70 and dry gear getting up wasn't too hard.
We hit the road and the beginning of a big construction area. Trucks zoomed by and I got to use an occasional portapotty, not a terrible trade off.
The road stretched off for ages but there was a breeze which was a treat.
We chatted with a southbound cyclist who had hiked the PCT back in 2006 and had started biking back in Banff. I really love the small communities out here.
It started to get hotter and I started dragging. Our maps told us the sad looking creek we passed was contaminated alkaline water and undrinkable. We are really back in the desert now. Hours dragged and I had a few temper tantrums between the sun and wind. The wind makes the umbrella useless and I was not a happy camper. I finally found Rest Stop and a southbound flipper at our only water source for the day. Charming yes?
Honestly once you pushed the slime away it wasn't too bad. After talking to Matt Rest Stop suggested what I had been thinking all day. It was only midafternoon and if we kept a solid pace we could get to Rawlins by 8 or 9 that night instead of in the morning. We weren't totally sure of mileage because we were on an alternate but it would mean at least a 37 or 38 mile day. But it was road walking and dry camping just a few miles out of town sounded awful so off we went.
Rawlins still seemed ages away but getting closer. The last 10 miles of road had me not so happy but rolling into town was perfect.
Across train tracks and straight into town. Exhausted we found dinner and stared at the overwhelming number of people and lights in the restaurant. It turns out the construction we had been passing was a wind farm in progress and with the local oil boom all the hotel rooms in town were already taken.
So after a bit of searching and a park with an open gate and a lovely lack of no trespassing signs we found ourselves stealth camping under an old guard tower in the historical prison park. My longest day on the CDT and I was more than ready for bed.

I have to admit I was not a fan of the independently made movie. It felt drawn out and far too restrained. Reading that the audience at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre is invited on stage pre-show and at intermission to purchase drinks made the experience sound like it would be a mere novelty. It is not at all.
|Cristin Milioti and Steve Kazee
Steve Kazee, known as Guy in the musical, plays an Irish musician who finds a collaborator in Cristi Milioti's Girl, a Czech immigrant, over the course of one fateful week. They bring a complex world of weariness to their characters but also a sense of tremendous hope.
Kazee has proven he is leading man material only hinted at in the 2007 Broadway revival of '110 In The Shade.' Manly, attractive and charming he conveys the character's anguish in his musical numbers, most notably in "Leave" and "Say It To Me Now". Guy is even given a piece of fun with the brief melody called "Broken Hearted Hoover Fixer Sucker Guy."
Milioti's role could have easily fallen into caricature but her gentle portrayal and convincing accent makes the character believable. She reveals a sorrow displayed in the songs "If You Want Me" and "The Hill." The on stage chemistry between Kazee and Milioti is undeniable. Their portrayals are subtle but always engaging.
The show sounds like it could be a downer but Walsh has peppered the plot with enough comic relief and eccentric supporting characters to keep the audience from falling into a depression.
|Cristin Milioti, Anne L. Nathan and Steve Kazee.
|The cast of 'Once'
Credit goes to Martin Lowe for orchestrations that reinvigorate the original songs from the film. Songwriters Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, who played Guy and Girl in the movie, have contributed additional songs for the musical. If you fell in love with the Oscar-winning song "Falling Slowly" you'll find other treasures worth repeated listening in the score.
The entire musical takes place in a Dublin bar that spans the width of the stage with a back wall lined with frosted mirrors. The ingenious Bob Crowley has made a one-set destination that fulfills the multiple scene requirements and has the actors costumed appropriately to portray the Dublin bar crowd. One pivotal scene takes place above the bar to reveal a scene at night dotted with flickering starlight. By the way there are no subtitles when Czech is spoken except for a few words translated during this scene.
Seeing 'Once' is a transcendent experience that inspires us to overcome regrets. The unconventional love story, stirring music and dynamic casts merge in impeccable combination for a production that uplifts the soul.

We're only days away from the start of a new playing season, bringing with it a fresh sense of optimisim and enthusiasm in all four codes.
The competitive action was due to start last weekend with the start of the Under 21 Camogie Championship. However Clarecastle/Ballyea's preliminary round match against Feakle/Killanena has been postponed until further notice.
Therefore, Clarecastle's season will commence this Saturday when their hurling counterparts will begin their Under 21B Championship with a preliminary round against Broadford in Tulla at 2.30pm while the Under 16 ladies footballers start their Division 2 Championship away to Burren Gaels on Sunday.
The Under 16 male footballers were originally scheduled to begin their championship this Saturday as well but due to the unavailability of pitches after the recent inclement weather, the first round of the Under 16 Division 1 and 2 Championships have been deferred for a week and therefore their home match against St Breckan's in the top tier will now take place on Saturday, March 18th.
In the meantime, there's plenty to focus on as the adult hurling and football league fixtures were revealed this week. The senior hurlers' return to the top tier of the Clare Cup is greeted by a juicy opening home derby against Newmarket-on-Fergus on the first weekend of April.
The same weekend the intermediate hurlers commence their Division 2 League campaign with a home tie against Parteen while the Junior hurlers will have to wait until the May bank holiday weekend for their opening round of the Division 5B League away to Tulla.
The adult footballers are first to get their league campaign underway when they host Coolmeen in the opening round of the Division 6 League on Sunday, March 19th.

A quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki
A relaxing environment, with colors and textures inspired by the blue waters and sandy beaches of the surrounding area. Glass and stone with accents of timber bring the elements and character of Honolulu to the design in a contemporary and modern interpretation. The tranquil feel of the interior captures that quiet moment when one can escape all the excitement of Waikiki and enjoy the soothing sound of the ocean, and beauty of the sunlight as it reflects the water's surface.

text: To start with, you should understand what a aim is, and you most likely do. It is something you need to complete sometime in the future. While traders can take a shot at investing in shares, mutual funds and debt, they'll usually burn their fingers since they do this part-time and haven't got the aptitude to do so. This is also a very time consuming activity and infrequently an investor will find his work life steadiness challenged.\n\nThe difference between traditional financial planning, and financial wellness, is that in financial wellness the individual becomes the centre of the exercise, not the product, or the financial advisors anxiousness or ambitions to fulfill sales target.\n\nTypically, the sources of finance will comprise of a mix of equity as well as debt. If a challenge is financed by way of debt, it ends in causing a liability to the concerned company. The financing accomplished by equity carries a lower threat concerning the commitments of the move of cash, but the result of this is the dilution of the earnings and the ownership.\n\nTo properly finances your personal finances you simply add up your sources of earnings, account for every penny that you've got flowing to you each month, and observe every expense. Observe your loans, and in case you have unfavorable credit ratings lenders, know the way much you might be spending in interest.\n\nBy this time, it's important for the business owner to give attention to advertising for more business and it is the CFO's accountability to control cash move, earnings and expenditures. Reporting and paying taxes is crucial to small business financial help from a CFO who displays and manages a company's finances.

In the run-up to Christmas, there is no one better to advise us on shopping than Zen Master Genpo Roshi, author of Big Mind, Big Heart: Finding Your Way, and pioneer of the Big Mind Process, a mix Eastern Zen with Western psychology. But first as usual, the Monk.
The Monk on Shopping
There's a lot of pressure this time of year, buying for the kids, the boyfriend or girlfriend. Things are a little tighter, too. The old saying about it being better to give than receive is true, but the reality of explaining that to an irate partner come Christmas morning is best avoided.
But it's not wrong to desire. Desire just is what it is. It's such a powerful emotion. Ask yourself to identify with the one who desires, and feel the grin on your face! You literally feel the energy jolt through you. It's so powerful, it can be wild and consuming. Now identify with the mind of no desire. The difference is incredible. It's peaceful and complete. But it also isn't very sexy. A healthy integration is necessary.
The fully integrated Christmas shopper is at the top of the triangle, like the star on a tree. It knows what it wants, but it is comfortable whether it gets it or not. Its elbows are less sharp, its heartbeat less panicky, and it probably hasn't left its shopping till lunchtime on Christmas Eve.
The Master on Shopping
The Big Mind work or meditation allows us to become aware of what our real desires and our real needs are. In his final talk, Buddha gave eight brilliant teachings that we now call the Eight Awareness of the Buddha. With regard to shopping, I want to emphasize the first two.
The first is 'to have few desires'. The second is 'to know how to be satisfied with what you have'. I think these two can really help us in the marketplace world. We don't need to want everything, but we can learn to prioritize what we really do need, and what we really do want. To have fewer desires. The major cause of suffering is not being satisfied with what you have, and wanting what you don't have. Learn to be satisfied with what we do have, not dissatisfied by wanting what we don't have.
So how can we get to this place of satisfaction and sufficiency? Think of yourself as the sitting figure outlined by a triangle in the illustration, with the left corner (knee) representing the self that desires, the right corner (knee) representing the one that has no desire (pure being, free from desire), and the apex as that which includes and transcends both of them. At the apex, which is our True Self, we can recognize the old patterns and habits of desire without having to be run by them, and we can see more clearly what we really need and what is sufficient. We can also be in touch with the mind of unconditional satisfaction that does not require anything to be whole and complete. From here we can appreciate who we truly are and enjoy what we do have, which in itself is a great gift.
Genpo Roshi will be at the Big Mind Big Heart Weekend Workshop with guest Paul McKenna at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in London on the 24th and 25th of January.
And check back next month to hear more about what Genpo Roshi has to say about sex and money...
Have something to tell us about this article?

This Week in Imaging: Xerox Scrapping Fujifilm Deal Results in Only More Headaches
It seems more than ironic that Xerox's decision in May to scrap a complicated deal under which Fujifilm would take over Xerox for $6.1 billion, with Xerox being merged with Fuji Xerox (and Xerox CEO and several Xerox board members resigning) was in part designed to get Xerox out of the headlines – as well as end the former Xerox CEO and board members' bitter feud with activist investors Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason. However, the new Xerox management appears to have mistakenly assumed that Fujiflm would just go away – or at least offer a better deal – in particular $40 per Xerox share, versus the $32 per share under the abandoned previous deal.
Fujifilm however doesn't appear to want to go away. First, Fujifilm filed a $1 billion breach-of-contract lawsuit against Xerox, while Fujifilm Chairman and CEO Shigetaka Komori – infuriated that Icahn and Deason, who hold about 13 to 15 percent of Xerox shares, torpedoed what has been Komori's dream of owning Xerox – has stated that a deal could still be on.
The idea of a new deal with Fujifilm seems to have in turn infuriated newly appointed, Icahn-backed Xerox CEO John Visentin, who this week called Fujifilm's hopes of still acquiring Xerox "delusional" in a published letter to Komori. Visentin also said Xerox wouldn't renew its Fuji Xerox partnership in 2021, and would instead source products from other sources, and go it in alone in Asia-Pacific.
Komori, in turn, responded Wednesday with a public letter to Visentin, saying that, for its part, Fujifilm would go it alone in Xerox territory – the United States and Europe. (See our stories this week for a complete look at allegations on both sides).
The big questions at this point are:
From what company would Xerox source printers and copiers from?
Xerox has manufactured some of its printers, copiers, and supplies itself, and has also sourced from other companies, such as Samsung and Konica Minolta. In Webster, New York, it produces fusers, photoreceptors, Xerox iGen and Nuvera production-print systems, components, and consumables. Its other manufacturing operations are located in Dundalk, Ireland, for its high-end production products and consumables, and in Wilsonville, Oregon, for solid-ink printers, consumable supplies and components for its mid-range and entry-level products. Under its arrangement with Fuji Xerox, it purchases and sells various products.
Would either company succeed in invading the other's territory?
Xerox's Visentin stated that Xerox would sell on its own in Asia-Pacific without Fuji Xerox. Would Xerox be willing to spend huge amounts of cash to set up the direct sales, service, and distribution channels in Asia-Pacific that this would require? It hardly seems likely, as all along, both Icahn and Deason have seemed more bent on extracting more cash from Xerox – not investing more in it. And it seems such a network would take years to set up.
Similarly, Fujifilm, which already owns 75 percent of Fuji Xerox, would have to set up subsidiaries in North America and America. But it already has Asia-Pacific covered with subsidiaries in Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, China, New Zealand, and other Asian-Pacific countries.
If Fujiflm chose to set up subsidiaries in the Americas and Europe, would it legally be able to market products with "Xerox" still in the "Fuji Xerox" name? If so, that would be a huge disadvantage for Xerox – to have another competitor in North America and Europe selling printers and copiers bearing the familiar Xerox name – a name that's synonymous with copiers and has huge name-recognition value.
At the same time, Xerox competitors are gloating over the troubles at Xerox. As part of a plan announced last year, Xerox is continuing to try to sign-up multi-line copier dealers to sell Xerox products, and has, to date, signed up a number of them. But how long can that continue with the uncertainty surrounding Xerox and with competitors such as Canon, HP Inc., Ricoh, etc. more than willing take advantage of it? Meanwhile, Xerox's share price has fallen from a high of $32.75 per share on February 1, 2018, a day after the scrapped Fujiflm deal was announced, to a low of $25 per share this week.
We don't know how serious either company is about invading the other's territory, but as the chart below shows, Fujiflm appears to be in a far stronger position than Xerox. Moreover, it's litigation against Xerox is likely to continue for months, and HP Inc. CEO Dion Weisler recently said HP Inc. isn't interested at this point in making any acquisitions over $10 billion, ruling out an HP Inc. acquisition of Xerox that had reportedly been discussed between the two companies last year.

I have a BT router and a TP-link power network which gives me internet access on my television, but my laptop can get on the network but will not connect to the internet using a TL-WR710N access point.
Have you read/followed the how to in the manual - re' configuring the tp-ink as an access point; and also as repeater?
Page 31 in the manual - download here:
maybe useful?
This is another source for the manual - from tp-link itself:
What actually happens when you try to connect the laptop?
You say it gets onto the network - which network? And does the tp-pink show as an access point in the list of wifi access points on the laptop?

"OK. We'll find out later what this is really about."
(Ammiano prefaces vote for Peskin ordinance)
The whole crowd laughed because they were all thinking the same
thing: Board prez Aaron Peskin shimmied through another ordinance
yesterday that more than doubles the power of the Assessment Appeals
Board 2, and extend jurisdiction into Chris Daly's district.
District 6 Supervisor Chris Daly
Ominously, it was Item
Oh, Tom voted for it, but he was suspicious, as was everyone
in the audience (I actually attended) who has watched Peskin of
A suspicious Supervisor Tom Ammiano, Rules Committee Chair
That was at Rules Committee today.
The new ordinance will allow anyone who owns property in that
portion of Daly's district downtown or SOMA and wants to appeal
a tax assessment on a property either: worth up to 50 million
dollars, or: having 4 units or less, to be considered before AAB2.
Aaron laid it off as "balancing the work load" but I
couldn't help wondering who this change might benefit. And, who's
on Board Two? For that matter, who's on Board One? Or, even more
importantly, who's on third?
Marcia Rosen looked fab
Normally I don't flirt with married women. OK, that's not true
but it's the right thing to say.
I always sneak a wink at Rosen when I'm in the Board's den and
she's there presenting some matter or other for the Redevelopment
Authority she heads. She always smiles and chuckles.
Redevelopment Executive Director Marcia Rosen
Don't believe I've ever exchanged a word with the lady and that's
kind of cool. I mean, I've always pretty much despised everything
connected with Redevelopment, so it's nice to see at least one
lovely rose sprouting in that minefield.
Who is Linda Cheu?
Next Tuesday the Board will confirm her as the newest member
of the Redevelopment Authority's ruling body. I watched her sail
through the committee and then I went home to google her name
and see if she came up working for Warren Hellman.
Darn, I'm good. Seems she works as a Senior Associate of some
sort for the 'Economics Research Associates'. Founded by? Why,
it's Warren Hellman.
Recall the time a couple of years back when this body pushed
Hellman's buddy, Tom Wiesel's bid to have San Francisco cover
the cost of his SF Grand Prix bike race? Anyway, Economics Research
Associates predicted Wiesel's event would not only pay for itself,
but bring in millions. Course, it lost money and you picked up
the bill.
So, anyway, that's where Ms. Cheu worked and now she's going
to bring that good judgment to Redevelopment where billions are
doled out to people like Wiesel. But, I'm sure she'll be impartial
and that Hellman will have no influence over her whatever.
$5.43 million for vulnerable voting machines
My buddy, John Arntz was there to "capture" 5.43 million
in federal HAVA funds (Help America Vote Act). HAVA was set up
by Republicans, as best I can figure, to automate election fraud.
Yeah, it's hard to fill out all those absentee ballots. Anyway,
the kernel here is that these machines can be programmed to throw
an election, erase their fix and no one will know.
That's because they aren't 'open source' programs which would
allow them to be checked for accuracy. They have labeled how they
count your votes as being none of your business (proprietary).
Arntz assured the committee that he wasn't going to use the
money to order the shaky technology. Not just yet.
The main attraction
The coolest people came to see the hearing exploring the needs
of the sorely understaffed, Ethics Commision. Executive Director
John St. Croix was a man tip-toing over a razor sharp picket fence.
Ethics' Executive Director John St. Croix
Hey, his department is sorely understaffed. However, it is intentionally
understaffed so's it can't do what the voters wanted it to do
when they passed Prop K that created it. You'd think St. Croix
would want a full staff.
On the other hand, the man is an 'at will' employee and that
means the commission can fire him at anytime. And the commission
(appointees of Mayor, Board, Public Defender, D.A. and Assessor)
is dominated by a Downtown thinking majority that doesn't want
a stronger commission.
Oddly, the Mayor, as a supervisor, supported making the Ethics
boss independent and free of influence from Room 200. Now, as
Mayor, Gavin's changed his mind.
So, you get the Civil Grand Jury Foreperson (Mary McCallister)
that studied Ethics and suggested full staffing and other changes
to properly implement Prop K. And, Joe Lynn, Ethics guru (spent
most of the last decade working at Ethics, first as staff, then
as a commissioner), describing best practices at similar agencies
around the state.
Civil Grand Jury Foreperson Mary McAllister
Ethics guru Joe Lynn, dutiful defender of ethics in governement
And, Bob Planthold from the Sunshine Task Force (formely, Chair
of the Ethics Commission). And, Rick Knee who is also with the
Sunshine Task Force. And, a number of City employees with anecdotal
evidence of the inadequacy of Ethics.
Transparency in government defender Bob Planthold
First Amendment defender Richard Knee
You get all of these people calling for full staffing (they've
been at 50% for 4 years because first, Willie Brown, then Newsom,
refused to budget staff for them). And, you get St. Croix saying
that he simply "wouldn't know what to do with them"
if the Board voted full staffing.
It was sad. St. Croix seems like a nice enough guy but he came
all the way from Boston and, let's face it, he's got one of those
mythological swords hanging over his neck 24/7. Ammiano finally
got him to say that perhaps he might be able to absorb another
half dozen or so of the sorely needed infusion of workers as long
as only two of them were investigators.
Lynn said that the best first step should be to put meetings
of the commission on SFGTV. For 32k, they'd have another couple
of thousand sets of eyes watching (and, re-watching) every hearing
and analyzing same.
So, I'm guessing that a half dozen new hires and TV coverage
is the best the City is going to get in the way of Ethics reform
this year. We're gonna see.
Hob knobbing
Daveed, from Peskin's office was friendly enough. I asked him
if he'd found out how much the breakwater in the Marina was going
to cost and he said it would be cheap. I asked if he'd seen tape
of the last hearing the Board had on the issue 5 years or so back
in which experts predicted a disaster if the City built the same
breakwater. He hadn't.
Peskin glared at me. He's pissed at me for suggesting that he's
hen pecked. I apologize, Aaron, and will leave family members
out of future columns until one becomes a candidate.
A glaring Board Prez Aaron Peskin
Elsbernd was friendly. He was surprised that I had bathed and
was wearing a tie. So was I. Ammiano was in a good mood and that's
a good thing. He'll be much better than Leno in the Assembly but
I ain't backing Campos to replace him.
A friendly and widely respected Supervisor Sean Elsbernd (left)
Michael Strickland was snapping pics for his civiccenterblog.com
(something like that) and was also in a great mood. What a gorgeous
day again.
Master of digital capture Michael
Even Barbara Meskunas was all aglow. This lady is one of the
quickest wits in the City and Ed Jew has wisely brought her in
to da Hall as a legislative aide (she's a past prez of the umbrella
group, Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods. I think that
was Howard Epstein she was talking to in the hall. Maybe a twin.
All those silver fox Republican guys look alike to me.
Boris Delepine nodded gravely as he passed. Hell of a guy. John
Avalos sat in the back row with me for a few minutes.
I ran into Michael Cohen on the stairs as I was leaving (you
gotta cut back on the smoking, dude) and made my usual bad (big
kernel of truth) jokes about him being the head of the Dome's
'Billionaire Boys Club'.
Cheaper than a movie
Even if you don't know anyone, a couple of hours at City Hall
is fantastic entertainment. It's such an amazing building. I just
wander looking at the ever-changing art exhibits on the Ground
floor, all the way to the hearing rooms on 4. The light courts
(thanks for saving them, Willie) make you proud to be a resident,
and don't even get me started about the Board Chambers and the
Sweet Spring...
