If you are the grandparent, do you have visitation rights following a divorce? A lot depends upon the relationship you have built with your grandchild. The truth is, if your adult son or daughter isn't the child's primary custodial parent and the custodial parent objects to contact with you, getting visitation rights as the kid's grandparents will be tough. If you can show, however, that losing contact will be detrimental to the child's emotional or physical welfare, you may be granted a specific parenting schedule. Otherwise, your visitation rights will be relegated to the time your adult son or daughter has parenting time. If you are seeking visitation rights or guardianship of your grandson or granddaughter, contact Fernandez & Lauby by calling 888.959.8508 or emailing us online.

The Advocate Chat is a recurring series where the Valley Advocate staff talks about a topic on their minds. The text below has been lightly edited.
kristinpalpini (Editor-in-Chief Kristin Palpini): I'm pumped! Let's talk Dems and Reps, donkeys and elephants, tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. Jon Ossoff lost in Georgia after a promising campaign for Democrats in Georgia's Sixth District. It made me depressed, but Dave, you saw some promise in that. Wanna talk about it?
dave.eisen (Managing Editor Dave Eisenstadter): Oh, hi! Yes, well it is interesting about the Georgia race. It was close — about 48 to 52 percent, but the Democrats lost. And if the Democrats want to take back over the House or the Senate in 2018, it was the kind of seat that they really should be able to win.
kristinpalpini: Georgia is red, so it's a good-ish sign, but come on! How bad does the GOP have to mess up to get the boot?
dave.eisen: The Democrats' strategy seemed to be "Let's ignore rural districts and spend a boatload in suburban districts like Georgia." While they spent heavily in Georgia, they largely ignored special elections in Kansas and Montana that were decided by single-digit margins. In South Carolina, a special election happened the same day as Georgia and the Democrat lost by only 3,000 votes!
cgoudreau (Staff Writer Chris Goudreau): And that strategy worked wonders for the presidential election…
dave.eisen: The positive thing for the Dems would be if they look at this loss and reassess their strategy going into the 2018 elections. Could more money and more support for those candidates in rural districts have made a difference? The $20 million+ they spent in Georgia is a lot of money!
kristinpalpini: Democrats need to get back to the Obama grassroots strategy, and they need a more exciting platform.
dave.eisen: Establishment figures are hoping to water down the platform to appeal to "swing voters." That strategy didn't work in Georgia. But the Dems do have a bunch of winning issues if they would just use them.
kristinpalpini: Watering it down isn't going to work; people want to get behind something.
christin-howard (Intern Christin Howard): I think that strategy is really unappealing to the youth. I think a lot of people feel the left is too moderate, which in the end doesn't get many swing voters and turns off the liberal youth.
kristinpalpini: What goes in the platform?
dave.eisen: $15 minimum wage is popular.
kristinpalpini: Gun control, that's very popular.
dave.eisen: Single payer health care is popular. Free college tuition is popular. Think about how many people have student debt, but don't vote because they don't see candidates who have their interests in mind.
kristinpalpini: I'd like to see them go fiercely pro-abortion, a recognition that women do matter.
christin-howard: Yeah I agree with abortion.
kristinpalpini: Up with abortion!
dave.eisen: That's one area where Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal disagrees with you. In my article about how he has been accused of ignoring his rural constituents, he said that he was in favor of more pro-life Democrat candidates.
kristinpalpini: Neal said the Dems have to be more open to bringing in people not affiliated with the party — if they're anti-abortion so what?
dave.eisen: Establishment figures, like Neal, who has been representing the Springfield area in congress for 29 years, wants to see the party move to the center rather than having and pursuing a bold platform.
kristinpalpini: That was some BS. He so flippantly threw women to the ground with that one. Abortion = women's freedom.
dave.eisen: Neal is taking a wait-and-see approach on a lot of the progressive issues in the Democratic platform. He has not supported a $15 minimum wage, or single payer, or free college.
kristinpalpini: Does that make him a DINO?
cgoudreau: Haha! That works on so many levels.
christin-howard: Yes! Youth are so tired of people like him controlling the platform. It's tired and, compared to the zealousness of the GOP platform, it seems so lame.
dave.eisen: The thing that the Georgia election seems to be saying is that, yes, Trump is unpopular, BUT, that isn't translating into enough votes for Democrats to win by itself.
christin-howard: I think what we saw in the Bernie Sanders movement is that people want something they can really fully get behind. Because even if Trump is… well, Trump, he gets people riled up and the Dems have consistently failed to do that.
kristinpalpini: I agree Christin. He really showed the need for a third, fourth, fifth, just more parties.
dave.eisen: The difficulty with the Bernie movement is that it had no establishment support.
kristinpalpini: Ya, the Dems tanked Bernie. I don't want the Dems to pick up the GOP's stank play book of divide and conquer — that's no way to run a nation. A sports team, yes; a society, no.
dave.eisen: I think the question is whether the establishment might get behind someone like him following all of these losses in special elections (and, you know, the presidency).
kristinpalpini: Nope. There are too many people in line for the throne.
cgoudreau: I agree, not a chance.
kristinpalpini: They're not going to let that go.
dave.eisen: Maybe Kristin has a point that Bernie is popular enough that he could start a third party. Britain and France seem to have many parties and they make it work.
kristinpalpini: I know right? Why can't we do it? Perhaps they have different laws about political finance and I think they have limits on how long a person can campaign.
dave.eisen: But if you had a "People's Party" headed by Sanders, it would need to be around more than just a presidential candidate.
kristinpalpini: True, you can't just go for the prez. The party would have to be rooted.
dave.eisen: One would think they would be running candidates against congressmen like Neal, who have Democratic establishment support, but have lost liberals and their rural constituents. If a third party could compete in rural communities, I think it might have a chance. But the time to test that is probably this coming election — 2018 — rather than waiting for the presidential election in 2020.
kristinpalpini: Hmmm … that would cost a LOT of moola.
cgoudreau: How about public sources for campaigning? That way you don't have to be well connected or rich to run for major public office.
dave.eisen: Yes, money in politics seems to be the root of a lot of evil! I wonder if there are other issues that grassroots folks on the left and right agree on but are separate from the establishment. Term limits is a pretty popular idea with voters on both sides, but an idea that the establishment of both parties hates.
kristinpalpini: I wonder if it's something that could be introduced by voters. I also like the idea of shortening the campaign cycle — it's too long, too stupid, and costs too much money.
dave.eisen: But isn't it exciting!?
kristinpalpini: It could be condensed to six months and still be exciting without the clown show in the beginning.
dave.eisen: I think it heartened a lot of people to see Bernie get so many small donors online and to run his massive campaign without a super PAC. He really put his money where his mouth was and not many other candidates do that. The majority of Richard Neal's money came through his PAC, but even Jim McGovern, the progressive rep that represents Northampton and Greenfield, has PAC support.
christin-howard: We saw a fair number of Bernie supporters voting for Trump when he lost, which is bizarre but makes sense.
dave.eisen: Does anyone else think that the Georgia loss, along with other losses in Kansas, South Carolina, and especially Montana (where the Republican actually attacked a reporter on the eve of election night), will make Dems rethink their strategy?
kristinpalpini: Sadly, no. Haven't seen anything from the Dems since Trump won that suggests they are brainstorming or working on anything new.
christin-howard: One would hope, but based on how they treated Bernie when Clinton was so unpopular it kind of seems like they're deaf to changing or rethinking anything.
kristinpalpini: It's disappointing that it seems they're letting Trump do the campaigning for them in 2018. As in "vote for us, we're not him." It's not good enough, Demos.
christin-howard: Yeah the "we're not Trump, vote for us" strategy already failed miserably.
dave.eisen: One other issue that we should include in the mix is that the Supreme Court is going to be looking at a gerrymandering case for the first time considering whether it is unconstitutional to draw districts based on partisan advantage. Most cases so far have looked at whether districts give people of certain races a disadvantage, but never political parties.
kristinpalpini: GOPers are masters of gerrymandering — drawing up district maps to dilute one voting block over another — is that part of what's keeping the Dems down?
dave.eisen: Democrats use gerrymandering to their advantage (like here in Massachusetts), but it is used a lot more successfully by Republicans across the country, in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida, which are mostly purple states, but are very red in terms of their congressional representation.
kristinpalpini: Yeah, it's horrid. Gerrymandering going before the Supreme Court could be exciting or another Citizens United situation – a horribly bad decision that affects all elections moving forward.
dave.eisen: OK, what is the most important issue for the Dems to tackle in the 2018 election?
kristinpalpini: The Dems need a rallying cry and three focused talking points about what they plan to do to help working class people, to be honest.
dave.eisen: Any ideas on what those talking points should be?
kristinpalpini: Student loan forgiveness, livable minimum wage, paid leave for new parents — and I'll add a fourth: dumping daylight savings.
dave.eisen: Haha! that's a great one (even though I don't think I agree with you).
christin-howard: Environmental issues!! And student loan forgiveness I think is huge.
kristinpalpini: The rallying cry: Get Your Laws Off My Lawn!
dave.eisen: anything that touches on income inequality, money in politics, and the environment will be winning issues. All you have to do is look at how Gov. Charlie Baker (a Republican, in case you didn't remember) is lining himself up on these topics (for instance, agreeing to hold Massachusetts to the standards of the Paris Climate Agreement).
kristinpalpini: Also, Dems have to turn up the heat on all this voter intimidation and suppression.
dave.eisen: Yes, Democrats have not largely supported ways to make it easier to vote on a federal level, like what Oregon did with automatic voter registration. We don't have anything close to that in Massachusetts.
kristinpalpini: The Dems are leaderless right now.
dave.eisen: Maybe you should run. Kristin Palpini will eradicate daylight savings time wherever it persists!!
kristinpalpini: That's right, suckas! Coming for your daylight.

Just a bit of insight. I live near UMD in Duluth, MN. Sprint's signal is clearly much 'dirtier' with a 1.0 SNR compared to T-Mobile's 20.4 SNR. I don't have a screenshot from the same time, but I get about a 22 to 29 SNR with T. I know that AT&T uses RRU's but I'm not too sure about Sprint or T-Mobile. Also, I didn't even know they had L2500 where I live, but I force checked it on my Samsung S7 (AT&T).

Did you know that with many Sprint (Uniband) LTE Android devices, the signal strength indicator at the top does not show your LTE signal strength? Even if 4G or LTE is displayed next to it?
That's right! This signal displayed here is your 1x (voice signal), and it is not your 3G EVDO signal strength, nor your LTE signal strength. Regardless of whether it says 3G or 4G next to it. This is the cause of a lot of confusion. Also, third party apps like NetMonitor do not show accurate LTE signal strengths. They also only show the 1x signal strength, even though they may reference being connected to LTE.
The purpose of this thread is to help educate the masses, because many people think they have a strong LTE signal, when in fact they do not. And then they are unhappy, thinking that Sprint LTE is really slow, even with a strong signal. LTE performance is very signal strength dependent. So, when you have a weak signal, you can expect much slower than peak results.
There is only one accurate way to get your LTE signal strength, and that is from your LTE Engineering screen in your Debug menu. And we will discuss the different ways to get that below.
...In HTC, Motorola & LG Sprint LTE devices:
Go in to your phone app, and dial ##DEBUG# Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number under RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. ...In Samsung Sprint LTE devices:
Go in to your phone app, and dial ##DEBUG# Enter 777468 for your lock code Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number next to RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. ...In the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5:
Go in to your phone app, and dial *#*#DEBUG#*#* Enter 777468 for your lock code Select LTE Engineering Go down to RSRP. The number next to RSRP shown in dBm is your LTE signal strength. The LTE Signal Strength Scale:
Now you have determined your actual LTE signal strength in dBms your device is receiving, you can use the following scale below to determine its strength:
Better than -88dBm RSRP is a strong signal Between -89dBm and -96dBm is a very good signal Between -97dBm and -105dBm is good Between -106dBm and -112dBm is fair Worse than -113dBm RSRP is poor Feel free to link people to this thread for explanation. Hopefully, this will clear up some confusion out there!

Hey guys, Nef here. I just recently updated the Nirvana theme and it unfortunately crashed when I tried to re-implement the night and day mode 🙁 🙁 !! Yikes, I will try to contact some people for help or if anyone knows some coding who can help please fix the night/day mode do comment below, but in the event that it fails, I may need some time to either get a theme that already has a night and day mode or perhaps its time to revamp the site and hire a coder that can implement other nifty things for the site (not sure if I wanna take this arduous path, but we shall see)…. I'm quite tired now so I'll need to head to bed first and let you guys get to the chapter.
Please Enjoy~

Although the majority of students come to college already having some experience with alcohol, certain aspects of college life, such as unstructured time, the widespread availability of alcohol, inconsistent enforcement of underage drinking laws, and limited interactions with parents and other adults, can intensify the problem.
College students have higher binge-drinking rates and a higher incidence of driving under the influence of alcohol than their non-college peers.
The first 6 weeks of freshman year are a vulnerable time for heavy drinking and alcohol-related consequences because of student expectations and social pressures at the start of the academic year. Factors related to specific college environments also are significant. Students attending schools with strong Greek systems and with prominent athletic programs tend to drink more than students at other types of schools.
In terms of living arrangements, alcohol consumption is highest among students living in fraternities and sororities and lowest among commuting students who live with their families.
An often-overlooked preventive factor involves the continuing influence of parents. Research shows that students who choose not to drink often do so because their parents discussed alcohol use and its adverse consequences with them.

A comment on my blog just prompted me to write a new post that hopefully helps someone out.
I have just started using triggers to improve the performance of Blog Friends. It appears that MySQL's support of triggers is rather annoying…
One fault it has is that it will not let you update a table that the trigger was called from - you get the following error:
"#1442 - Can't update table 'users_users' in stored function/trigger because it is already used by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger. "
Now, as it happens, I was not actually updating that table, I was updating a different table, just using that as a JOIN:
UPDATE othertable JOIN users_users ON (conditions) SET othertable.value = value+27 WHERE conditions;
See - no writing to users_users at all! But still mysql blocked it.
Now, I thought, no problem, I will re-write it as a subquery:
UPDATE othertable SET value=value+27 WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM users_users WHERE conditions) AND moreconditions;
But MySQL detects this as a DEPENDENT SUBQUERY even though it was not (my one wasn't, at least… it only referenced NEW.values and not anything from othertable). It seems MySQL has many issues with SUBQUERYs. Well; it worked, but OMG was it slow?!! I almost had time to go and make lunch before it finished just working on 10 users… This was not good.
After a lot of moaning and no answers on #mysql on irc.freenode.net (which is unusual - normally there is people in there who know the answers to my questions!) a thought suddenly struck me…
INSERT INTO othertable(id,value) SELECT id, 27 FROM users_users WHERE conditions ON DUPLICATE KEY > UPDATE value=value+27;
Now in my application, the row should already exist, so there is no problem (and even if it didn't the INSERT would do no harm), but if you intend to use it I suggest that you ensure that this INSERT INTO does no damage.
I hope this helps you! If it does, please leave a comment, and I will put more help!

On October 6, reporter Joe Lewis filed a report on 10News about the Valley View Casino Center. Lewis quoted the mayor of National City, who six years ago said, "The facility is in terrible condition as a modern sports arena." Mayor Ron Morrison was hoping to attract a bayfront sports/concert arena for his own town.
Pechanga Arena San Diego
3500 Sports Arena Boulevard, Midway District
The National City arena never happened. But last week's 10News story underscores two realities facing the venue that Bowie and Zeppelin played in the 1970s.
Though current stars Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull are set to appear October 15 at the arena, the 46-year-old venue appears to be getting outgunned by SDSU's similarly sized Viejas Arena, which boasts upcoming shows by Phish, Fleetwood Mac, and the Black Keys.
Insiders say that with Mayor Faulconer looking for ways to finance a new Chargers stadium, the future of the 14,000-capacity Valley View Casino Center is questionable.
With the arena gone, San Diego could sell the 38 acres it owns under and adjacent to it. Gary London, who is frequently quoted by the media for his real-estate expertise, says that land would probably fetch San Diego between $76 and $152 million. London says he suspects it may be up to Ernie Hahn and his father Ron, who have controlled the master lease since the early '90s, as to whether they would exit the address on Sports Arena Boulevard. Their master lease is reportedly valid through 2017. According to 10News, Faulconer says, "Nothing is off the table" when it comes to financing a new Chargers stadium.
Ten years ago, an ad hoc committee chaired by former councilman Michael Zucchet concluded that the 38 acres would be better utilized if the arena was replaced with residential and commercial development. In 2001, Ernie Hahn had said the plan was to redevelop the parcel.
Hahn did not respond to a request for comment.

The Who show was announced after this story was filed.
I've got my tickets!
The 'OOOOOOOOO!!! I hope the Sports Arena never gets bulldozed. I've seen some great large concerts here. The Who, Neil Young, Roger Waters...plus what would happen to the swap meet, and Chick-Fil-A, and Chilli's, and the gas station with the awesome beverage selection, and, potentially Phil's? Does Faulconer really wanna have the blood on his hands from a possible relocation of Phil's? The city would be in an uproar! Conclusion, keep the Sports Arena, keep the swap meet, keep the Chick-Fil-A, keep the Chilli's, keep the gas station with the awesome beverage selection, and don't even think about moving Phil's...they have the greatest beef ribs in the United States.
Apparently, at least one option for a Chargers stadium is, in fact, "off the table". That being, HAVE THE CHARGERS PAY FOR IT!
Public funding of sports venues is ALWAYS a loser for the taxpayer. But politicians still clamor for ways to give away our money to wealthy professional sports team owners. They love to tell us about jobs, infrastructure, revenue... but they always conveniently ignore that we never get anything close to our "investment" back in the lifespan of the stadium in question. How long would a new stadium be considered "viable" before the Chargers were crying that it's too old and the NFL is saying it would be unthinkable to have another Superbowl there?
We'd be money ahead if the Chargers left... but, strangely, despite their threatening to do so for years, they aren't going anywhere. So why, exactly, do we need to agree to give them hundreds of millions of dollars to beg them to stay?
If the Chargers proposal to have the city sell off the Sports Arena and Qualcomm properties ever gets approved, this will be the next shoe to drop. Hundreds of millions for a new arena somewhere in the city--to go along with $1 billion for a new stadium, and hundreds of millions more for an unnecessary convention center expansion.
And City leaders still want a new City Hall, even though the SD County Grand Jury reported that it wasn't needed.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the technical term for the vertical ridges that appear on the exterior of both the Sports Arena and the Civic Theater? Must have been some sort of mid-century Brutalist trend, or am I off-base?
Rather unattractive, to my way of thinking.
Is there a way to improve things such as this with landscaping?
There IS a way to fix that. It's called a wrecking ball! Tear down that piece of old crap; it's an outdated eyesore.
Money is fungible. Proceeds from the sale of the Sports Arena property will not look, smell or feel any different than our tax dollars flowing in. Therefore it should be used for needed infrastructure repairs and/or new projects that benefit taxpayers. Those millions should not flow to the Spanos family. The mayor has obviously not studied history and learned the lessons of the ticket guarantee scandal.
In my opinion it would be short sighted to sell when the lease is up. We should lease for 30 years to the highest bidder willing to develop something compatible with the surrounding area. At the end of that term who knows what the land use needs of the city will be. But we will have that land back and have the option to change its use to conform to the needs at that time.

February 3, 2015
The Baldwin City Council voted unanimously Monday to support a plan to redevelop the former junior high school on Chapel Street into 30 apartments.
Flint Hills Holdings Group LLC asked the city to support the plan as it prepares application for historical preservation tax credits from the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation. The deadline for applications for the tax credits is Friday.
The Baldwin school board agree to sell the school to Kansas City-area developer Tony Krsnich and his Flint Hills Holding Group in September 2013 for $90,000. Krsnich said at that time he planned to convert the old school into apartments and a business incubator, in which small or start-up businesses could rent small offices that shared a meeting room and basic office equipment.
The company specializes in renovating buildings through the use of historical preservation and affordable housing tax credits, Flint Hills Holding Company Vice President Tom Larkin told the council Monday. The plan is to use tax credits to help finance the $5.2 million redevelopment of the Chapel Street school.
The business incubator is no longer part of the renovation plans for the building that Larkin shared Monday with the council. The plan now was to build 30 apartments in the old school with 20 of them having one bedroom, 10 having two bedrooms and an on-site office, Larkin said.
That was a slight discrepancy from floor plans shared with the city that called for 20 one-bedroom units, eight two bedroom units, two three bedroom units and the office. Larkin said it was still Flint Hills Holding Group's goal to include two or three three-bedroom units but that was proving difficult with the requirement that would come with the tax credits to provide ADA accessible apartments.
The use of tax credits also requires a percentage of the apartments be designated "affordable." Larkin said 75 percent of the old school's apartments would be designated affordable and the remaining would be rented at market rates.
Affordable-rate housing was frequently confused with section 8 low-income housing in which rent vouchers are provided the tenant, Larkin said. With affordable housing, developers agree to keep rental rates lower than market rates in exchange for the tax credits that offset construction costs.
Larkin said low-income tenants in Baldwin City could include Baker University graduate students, young professionals and those just starting their own businesses.
The company would again partner with Rau Construction on the Baldwin City project, Larkin said. The team has worked together on a number of award-winning redevelopment projects, including the Poelher Lofts and Cider Gallery in east Lawrence.
The partners would bring the same quality that went into that project to Baldwin City, Larkin said. The apartments, both affordable and market, would have hardwood floors, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
Larkin said tax credit decisions where usually made in the "late spring" and that construction on the project could start in the summer. It was not as difficult as some of the other projects the company has undertaken and could be completed in six to eight months, he estimated.
Flint Hills Holding Company's plans for apartments across the street from Baker University to draw comment from Andy Jett, the school's vice president of strategic planning and academic resources. The university supported development and growth in Baldwin City, he said, but did traditionally warm that the school could not police sometimes "rowdy" undergraduate students who lived off-campus in non-university housing, he said.
At the present time, there are no plans for the neighboring, and now unused, South Gym, which came with Krsnich's purchase of the old school, parking lot and grounds, Larkin said. The company had explored renovating that into a fitness facility for Baker University students, but that plan fell through, he said. Flint Hills Holding Company continues to look at possible uses, including a fitness center, business incubator and event center, he said.
The council's vote was only to support the company's application for tax credits, said Collin Bielser, city community development director. The company still needed to rezone the property for multi-family residential and have submit a development plan for approval.

Apurina Green Rapé | Uplifting | #92
We are really happy that we can finally share this beautiful and famous Apurina with you! It's so green, it's gentle and pure! It smells like freshly mowed grass and stirs the senses in a profound way. This finely powdered plant mixture is a tool for meditation, but also sharpens the senses and can really uplift the spirit. It contains fresh green mapacho leaves.
The Apurina-people
We sourced this rapé from the Apurina-people who live in the southern Amazon region, right on the border of Brazilian state of Acre. They remain elusive and secretive when we ask them about their rapé. The recipe is a well-kept secret, which the Apurina will not disclose for any price. It wouldn't be the first time that foreigners steal the ancient plant wisdom of tribal cultures. So, we can really understand their reasons to keep this a well-kept secret.
A rare product
The plants and herbs the Apurina use for their typical green snuff are not specifically farmed or cultivated. Instead, they gather the plants in their "terreiro dos ancestrais". The Apurina live in harmony with these lands. Not only because these are sacred lands where they honour their ancestors, but also because the Apurina acknowledge their existence to be part of a collective consciousness. All living beings are part of this including plants. With great care and gratefulness, these plants are being harvested only when mother earth is capable to give. This makes Apurinã a rare and unique product. The content may vary, according to the season and the plants that are available for harvest at a particular moment.
What is Rapé?
Rapé, pronounced 'ha-pey' is a tradition used by various indigenous tribes of South America, predominantly from the tribes people of Brazil and Peru. Rapé is a snuff which is blow into each nostril through a pipe known as a 'Tepi', which is either made from a hollow bone or bamboo. Each tribe has their own formula of plants, trees, seeds, most commonly combined with a pure form from the Amazon and an ash called tsunu, or others like Murici, Yarumo, or Inga. The rapé is prepared in a ritualistic way by specific members of the tribe.
Spirit of Nature
In some tribes, it is the women who gather the ingredients and make the Rapé, and others are made by the healer of the tribe. Typically they are made in small batches with specific intentions for the ceremony or person being treated. These are very powerful, profoundly healing and cleansing on many levels. The use of Rapé aims to connect one to the spirits of nature while invoking that power to bring about physical and spiritual healing.
Kuripe or Tepi
Traditionally, it is administered through either the Tepi or Kuripe. The Kuripe is a for self-administration and the Tepi is used when blowing the snuff for another person. The V-shaped applicator or Kuripe, connects the nostril to the mouth. The Tepi is a long blow pipe that connects the nostril of the receiver with the mouth of the blower, who then blows the rapé into the nose of the receiver.
Opening the Chakras
In general, the tribes believe Rapé facilitates the opening and clearing of the chakras, facilitates a sense of grounding and connection to the earth. Some think it supports the release of disease from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Furthermore some say that using rapé opens the third-eye chakra, decalcifies the pineal gland, clears mental fog and confusion. Finally it releases negative thought patterns and most of all it supports our connection to the breath and expands our connection to Spirit.

Gary Coleman
- This article is about the character. For the guest star, see Gary Coleman.
| Gary Coleman
| Character Information
Gary Coleman was an American actor.
He was the security guard at Kid First Industries, and was on guard duty when Bart and Lisa snuck into Jim Hope's office seeking answers about Funzo. He later tried to stop Bart, Lisa and Homer from destroying all of the Funzos in the Springfield Tire Yard fire, but relented after he saw how evil they were. The Simpsons invited him to their home for Christmas dinner, but at first he refused, as he had other plans. He came anyway due to Lisa forcing him.
Coleman seems to be a bit crazy, as he was talking on a phone that wasn't even plugged in. He was briefly (for about 10 seconds) fired from his security guard job by Lindsey Naegle. However, he was quickly rehired after saying "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Miss Naegle?", which she deemed adorable.[1]
He was later photographed by Homer getting his laundry.[2]

Frapp, one of the recognized apps founders as like three graduates who own access for deals from famous brands. They help in getting internships with low cost college food within the city. The startup is a great thing by all means and when you are at the age group of 16 years, there is always a new world waiting besides you. The latest cool collection of gadgets with hang outs and branded pair of jeans is really an amazing choice by all means. However, in student life you might be counting for every single rupee of your pocket money.
There were 3 men in their 20's who had been at the same place for not too log period of time frame saw a business opportunity. In the year 2014, Armaan Vananchal (25), Karan Karnik (23) and Niranjan Nakhate (23) engaged themselves to the sole task of creating an app.
The app was named as Frapp and has been claimed to be recognized as India's first and largest student benefits platform. Students can always access to great coupons, deals and managing top brands with internships and campus ambassador programs.
The app has become a single stop solution for all kinds of student needs. The app acted as great platform for internship and cool offers as in the words of Mr. Nakhate. Frapp has even created a home page for student's personal life revolving around the profile he or she creates with the same. The entire needs of the students are easily being addressed on the same platform. This is the real vision of making such an app.
The seed of Frapp and its concept was planted on campus. The founders of the app include BBA graduates from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Sciences. However, Mr. Vananchal one of the senior was working on some other project as like business-plan project on student discounts.
Thy connected with Mr. Karnik and Mr. Nakhate for the same great project and began working on the cards as to help students manage discounts at establishments near their campus. Hey discovered the fact that there is lack of such concept in India but although such facility is available outside India and other nations.
They found that big brands like Starbucks or Forever keep on running student discount campaigns. So, they thought that student card was not the optimal solution and can easily be duplicated.
They all went in separate directions after college. They stayed in touch with the concepts stayed and finally quit their jobs and decided to go for the same. So, Mumbai was selected as the best place to roll over.
The city was selected due to all the big brands availability along with mix of colleges and students. However, Mr. Nakhate has been in Mumbai for so many years and had the advantage of knowing colleges of being networked at the same place.
Hey started their journey from the basement and got to manage a great website for them. Soon they became brand influencers with the passage of time. Frapp always helps brand engage them with the students. He app also help students build their resumes and securing internships.

Hibachi Style Noodle Bowls
Get all the flavor of hibachi-style noodles straight from your own kitchen! These quick and flavorful noodle bowls are perfect on their own, as well as alongside chicken, fish, or steak.
When talking about food a lot of times, I like to mention the eating experience as a whole. When we take the focus off the food itself and turn our attention more towards the experience we're having (who we're with, the atmosphere, the conversation, etc) it tends to remove a lot of the anxiety or diet-y thoughts that may pop up when we're eating. This may be helpful if you're working on ditching the diet mentality or wanting to feel less crazy around food. And while every experience isn't going to be something to write home about, it's the thought of taking in the meal as a whole - are these foods satisfying, how are they nourishing to my body, am I trying a new restaurant, catching up with friends, enjoying a date night - all these things tend to be more important that what's actually on your plate.
When I think about eating experiences, one of the first things to come to mind are hibachi-style restaurants. It's such an experience! The chef is preparing your food right in front of you and they tend to put on show and make it entertaining. You're laughing and enjoying the people you're with. You might be there celebrating an occasion. Food is being tossed around, it's a very playful experience.
I don't go to hibachi restaurants all that often, but when I do it's so fun and the food is delicious! I've been craving some Asian-style noodles lately so I figured I'd try to make some at home and share the recipe with you! These noodles are actually so simple, so don't be intimidated by the thought of your chef flipping, slicing, dicing in front of your table.
I kept these noodle bowl vegetarian, but you could add meat or another vegetarian protein option to the mix for a more substantial meal. If you are adding an additional protein to this dish, I would start cooking with that, then add the veggies to the skillet and continue with the rest of the recipe.
Some protein ideas:
The key to getting these noodles to taste like they were made on a hibachi grill is to get them crispy with just the slightest hint of a char to them. I found that using my cast iron skillet* gave me the best flavor and slight crispiness (affiliate link). I also tried this recipe using my wok, which I don't think was big enough for the amount of noodles I was trying to prepare. This wok is a bit bigger and would most likely do a better job in giving that hibachi-style flavor (affiliate link). These noodles also work nicely as something you can prep ahead of time, just don't do the second saute in steps 5 and 6 until you're ready to serve.

Can We STOP AF With Cryoballoon Ablation?
Author + information
- Published online October 1, 2013.
Author Information
- Maciej Wójcik, MD∗ (m.wojcik{at}am.lublin.pl),
- Alexander Berkowitsch, PhD and
- Thomas Neumann, MD
- ↵∗Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Lublin, SPSK Nr 4, ul. Jaczewskiego 8, 20-869 Lublin, Poland
We read with interest the paper by Packer et al. (1), which demonstrated lower recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryoballoon ablation (CB), as compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. Nevertheless, the data brings several questions:
1. Selection of few patients is unclear. The authors included, against their study protocol (patients with >2 episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PAF], without structural heart disease, for whom at least 1 AAD failed).
2. 22% patients with "early persistent AF". What is a definition of "early persistent AF"? Are these PAF patients with high AF-burden (2)?
3. 21 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 1 patient without previous AAD failure;
4. 82 patients were enrolled for AAD treatment. Was the selection of AAD randomized? Was any patient randomized to previously failed AAD(s)? Continuation of previously ineffective AAD(s) therapy had to result in an exaggerated failure.
5. Even the most experienced operator needs time to adopt to a new technology. The STOP-AF investigators randomized 163 patients in 26 centers for CB (i.e., approximately 6 patients per center). After a cross-over, 228 patients (approximately 9 patients per center) had CB performed. The presented long procedure and fluoroscopy exposure times (371 and 63 min, respectively) are characteristic for very early stage in learning curve (3) (Fig. 1). Higher rates of permanent phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) and pulmonary vein stenosis, than reported by others (3–6), seem to further support our opinion. Even though, CB was superior to AAD.
6. The use of a smaller cryoballoon is associated with a higher incidence of PNP (5). Low CB temperature early during the freezing cycle is a sensitive warning sign of impending PNP (7). Persistent PNP can be avoided with interruption of CB application in case of loss of phrenic nerve capture and/or abrupt drop in CB temperature. Data on the mode of PN monitoring during a procedure and the minimum temperature reached in patients with permanent PNP are missing.
7. CB outcome is worse in patients with non-pulmonary AF (5), enlarged left atrium (6) and impaired renal function (6). The presented 1-year success rate after a single CB procedure (58%) was lower than previously reported (5) and more recently reported (3,6) by single centers. Is it only of a result of early operators' experience or patients' characteristics? Data describing patients with CB-failure would be helpful to understand the discrepancy.
8. CB eliminates focal triggers in pulmonary veins (PV)s but cannot be expected to reach non-PV triggers or stop/reverse structural remodeling in persistent AF. Repeated CB is successful only in case of AF related to PV reconnection. Thirty-one patients had repeated CB during the blanking period. How many of these patients had PV reconnections? Was the time, between index and repeated procedure, long enough for local tissue healing after index CB? Otherwise, the repeated procedure should had been postponed in time.
We believe that, as STOP-AF trial will have potentially high influence on future recommendations and with the introduction of a second generation of cryoballoons (with even higher rate of PV strictures observed [8]), the above questions need clear answers.

Veterans Day, which falls each year on November 11, is a time for Americans to remember the sacrifices made by those who served in the U.S. military. But first Veterans Day that was dedicated to veterans of all wars also happened to honor a different group of Americans.
On Veterans Day in 1954 — one month after President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first Veterans Day proclamation and the new holiday officially replaced Armistice Day — a whopping 50,000 men and women from coast to coast were sworn in as new U.S. citizens in what LIFE magazine called "the first time in U.S. history that citizenship was conferred upon so many people in so many mass ceremonies."
A photo in the Nov. 22, 1954, issue showed three Japanese people getting sworn in on the battleship U.S.S. Missouri in Bremerton, Wash., on the same deck on which the Japanese signed their surrender on Sept. 2, 1945, ending World War II — but many more photos from that day exist in LIFE's archives, and they provide a unique look at that historic day.
At a ceremony at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field — where 1,600 men and women took the oath of citizenship — U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. acknowledged the renewed significance of the ceremony's overlap on Veterans Day.
"November 11th is a hallowed day for all Americans," he said, "And it continues as a day dedicated to memory of the past and hope for the future — hope that all men can learn to live together in peace as we have done in this American melting pot of the world."
He also emphasized that swearing allegiance as a U.S. citizen was more important than ever in 1954, with the Cold War in full swing. In fact, the Cold War had changed the character of the country's most famous immigration station, Ellis Island, as it was put to use in the '50s to implement a post-WWII policy "banned anyone who had ever been affiliated with a totalitarian party," as TIME has previously reported.
But as Brownell said in his speech, only a few hundred had been detained there in recent months — compared to the 1.2 million that Ellis Island processed in 1907 — so its place as a symbol of immigration to the United States was fading. Immigration function in New York would be moved to a different building, off the island, on Nov. 12, 1954, the day after this historic Veterans Day, Ellis Island closed as an immigration center.
"The island buildings, I feel sure, can be put to useful service in other work," Brownell said.
In the decades that followed, the immigration center would be reoped as a museum — one that, all these years later, sees even more visitors each year than the number who came through Ellis Island annually at the height of immigration.

Wine Tasting Room Etiquette and Booking a Winery Bus Tour with Lil Tipsy Tours in Rutherglen
For people who have spent years living in wine country, visiting wineries, and tasting to their hearts' content, wine tastings are second nature. However, the tasting experience remains foreign to many people, who may avoid it for fear of making an etiquette mistake or looking uninformed. Don't worry – even beginners can book a fun and exciting winery tour in Rutherglen and enjoy themselves just as much as the seasoned pros. Here are some tips to help you feel at home.
Don't wear fragrance
Leave the perfumes and colognes at home when you take Rutherglen winery tours. A noticeable aroma can affect and even ruin the tasting experience for anyone close enough to you to smell it. Instead, use unscented cosmetics and show up clean but fragrance-free.
Stay open-minded
Perhaps you've never tasted a white wine you enjoyed but go ahead and taste what you're offered during Rutherglen wine tours. Wines vary so much in taste so that you might surprise yourself. If you don't like it, you can always spit it out – and know you've learned a little more about what you do and don't enjoy.
Don't pretend to know more than you do
There's no need to fake wine knowledge – in fact, doing so is a sure way to guarantee that you'll miss out on exciting information and build on what you do know. Try to listen more and talk less, and you'll almost certainly leave more educated about wine than you were when you arrived – one of the perks of taking wine tours in Rutherglen.
Moderate your intake
One of the advantages of taking a guided tour is that you don't have to worry about who's going to drive – but that doesn't mean you should go overboard. Feel free to swallow the wines you like but don't become intoxicated. If you do, you run the risk of ruining your experience as well as the experiences of those around you. Feel free to spit, especially if you're visiting several tasting rooms, and even pour out a glass of wine or two if you've had enough.
Purchase wine you like
Some wineries have tasting fees on their tours – we don't! We believe that wine tours should be pleasurable, straight forward and all about you and the wine! If a wine tickles your tongue, why not take a bottle or two home with you – it supports local wineries and gives you a fun memento to enjoy later on.
Book winery bus tours in Rutherglen with Lil Tipsy Tours
At Lil Tipsy Tours, we provide fun, exciting wine tours in Rutherglen for groups of one to 11. We have extensive experience in the region and in-depth knowledge of local wines, history, people, and places, and we love educating and relaxing with our guests.

Once in a blood red moon, a series will come out where, to the naked eye, the books are not related at all. It's not until halfway through a series, or occasionally even later in the series, that a ribbon will come along and connect all of the books and make the reader have an "ah ha" or light bulb moment, which looks something like this:
This isn't just something that happens with book series, it happens in video games as well. Sometimes, they (the developers and writers) never write a narrative that connects the games. This isn't a common plot move in video games, but it is something that happens. Just as with a book, when the narrative is over, the reader/player may feel unsatisfied with the ending and feel that they are left with a huge cliffhanger. Then, something wonderful may happen in the world of video games, the developer will release downloadable content (DLC) for the game that usually adds another portion of the story and even some extra items to play with. This year, this exact thing happened with one of 2013's best games, Bioshock Infinite; and not only did the DLC add extra story play, but it tied together the most recent game with the very first game of the series.
I recently played and beat the DLC content for the game. I won't reveal any spoilers in case there are people that have not played the game that might be interested, but I will say that when I finished the DLC, my jaw dropped and I stared at the TV while all of the credits played. It was exciting for me as a gamer who enjoys the series because the first Bioshock game was, well, the weakest in the series. That's not a bad thing, it just means that the game series kept improving as new games were released. The fact that they were able to release DLC for their newest and best game and connect it to their first and oldest game in the series was amazing and something that I did not expect but thoroughly appreciated. The DLC took gamers back to Rapture, the underwater city that was the setting for the first two games, and it combined it with the new weapons and advancements gamers got in Bioshock Infinite. Not only that, but in the second part of the DLC, gamers got to play as Elizabeth instead of Booker, a lovely and welcomed change. The surprise ending in the DLC went along with the series' surprise ending in the game itself. It answered so many questions that were around in the first game but that no one expected an answer to or a correlation with. It was just beautiful.
One book series in particular that has done this exact same thing is the Demonata series by Darren Shan. The way the books in his series worked was that the first book was about the main character (it was a great book by the way), then the second book was about someone totally different. The third book went back to focusing on the main character from the first, then the fourth book was about another new character. The fifth book and the rest of the series focus on the main character from the first book. As the series progresses, the other two characters and their story are intertwined with the main story we began with and it all makes sense.
This can be a very tricky and risky move to make with narratives, novel or video game. It's easy to have one book/game compared to another from its writing and this may prevent people from continuing to read/play in the series. However, it's also possible that the opposite will happen, and it will create a huge fan base that stays with the book/game until the end. There's a 50/50 chance, just like most things, of success. Regardless, readers and gamers alike love when story lines come together in a nice bow, even if it isn't right away.

Zumba brings out my inner diva. My buttocks slapping, hips gyrating, sassy-mouthed inner diva.
Ladies, — and the one gentleman in my class who does Zumba to pick up women — why does Zumba have such a loyal following? And even more baffling, how does Zumba get people who have been scarred by high school dance tortures to willingly shake their spandex covered thighs in a blindingly lit room with a giant window?
Call it Zumbaism: the gym religion that seemingly erases everyone's fear of the dance floor, embraces all shapes and sizes and encourages wild yelping, clapping and public displays of latin-ness.
It's Zumbaism at work.
Somehow, Zumbaism makes me feel like a thugged-out gangsta during the rap songs, a spicy Latin diva during the Spanish tunes and a Christina Aguilera impersonator during the female sung warm-up ballads.
I did not truly appreciate the extent of my conversion to Zumbaism until I (embarrassingly) heard a song from class at a bar and without realizing it, began the classic Zumba steps.
I clearly frightened the man next to me when he asked if I was alright and then upon confirmation that I was, in fact, alright, he ventured, "Wow, I guess you must really like this song."
Attempting to cover up my mortification at doing Zumba moves in a bar, I said, "Yes, sir" to the annoying-not-that-good-looking-stupid-hipster, "I do really like that song."
At first I cursed the Zumba Gods — why, oh why did they take over my brain and make me do the shimmy forward, shimmy backwards, side step side step move in public? But then I realized, that is the magic of Zumbaism. It's supposed to become second nature. It's supposed to feel like a party and make you forget that you're dancing next to someone your Grandmother's age at 10 a.m. on a weekday and your parking is almost up.
The psychology of Zumba is a heady cocktail of social proof, exercise-induced endorphins and self-induced blindness. Let me elaborate.
Zumba is a giant whopping dose of social proof — everyone else is 'dropping it like it's hot' and they don't look embarrassed, so why should you?
Its high-paced salsa-inspired moves and grapevine-esque shuffles get your blood pumping, your sweat pouring and your feel-good endorphins pulsing.
Lastly, the smorgasbord of people who show up to class challenge our sense of normalcy, so we just pretend it's normal. There aren't many situations where ladies from the retirement community, 20-something professionals, pregnant ladies and college students gather together to sweat.
Let's be honest: Zumba is premium for people-watching. In fact, I could tell you six Zumba archetypes that are in every Zumba class across the country:
- Suck-Up Zumbaer: This is the snooty, wannabe professional dancer who shows up to class super early, is dressed for a music video and tries to out-do the teacher with all of her moves. Calm down, lady, everyone knows you're better than us. But jeez, this is Zumba not Justin Bieber's next YouTube video.
- This-Is-A-Work-Out Zumbaer: This is the girl who comes to class "just for the workout" in matching spandex, arm weights, ankle weights and makes sure everyone around her knows that she needs lots of space for her kicks. She also annoyingly jogs in place in between songs to 'keep her heart rate up.' Really, are you going to burn that many extra calories by doing that?
- Is-This-African-Dance Zumbaer: This lady comes to class in bare feet, a weird toga and dances to her own drum. Literally, she sometimes brings her own drum. You hate to be next to her because she only follows the 'essence' of the Zumba steps while 'internalizing' the sound of the music. It's really frickin' distracting.
- What-Was-That-Step Zumbaer: This is the non-dancer newbie who comes to class and is permanently behind. She tries her best, bless her heart, but no matter how much you try to answer her pleas, she inevitably chooses the wrong direction to shimmy and claps a beat behind everyone else. You make yourself feel better by telling yourself that you were never as bad as her.
- The Zumba Man: You know, that guy. He stands in the back and looks at everyone's butts? I wonder if his wife knows.
- The Zumba You: Of course, you are none of these ridiculous archetypes. You are a pretty good dancer, polite with floor space and always bring your own towel. Wink, wink, I won't tell anyone that every archetype thinks they're this one.
So, my fellow Zumbaers, I hope you never find yourself doing moves in a bar, nor next to a What-Was-That-Zumbaer during class. But if you do, curse the Zumba gods, dance a little harder and pretend it's not happening.

Last month, career educators from around the province gathered in the lower mainland for LAUNCH 2018, an annual conference focused on providing strategies and training on preparing students for their futures. Career education teachers and counsellors from every secondary school in the Kootenay lake school district attended, many as participants and some as delegate presenters.
With over 36 workshop topics to choose from, the conference offered participants a variety of ways to add to their personal strategies in supporting the delivery of Career Education in BC. Topics particularly relevant to the strategic goals of the Kootenay Lake School District included; myBlueprint (a digital career prep platform the district is currently implementing), Creating MakerSpaces in learning commons and incorporating the new ADST (Applied Design Skills and Technology) curriculum into many areas of learning throughout the district.
Brent Firkser, Trades Training Coordinator with the SD8 Innovative Learning Services department presented findings on his recent Discover the Trades project that was introduced last year in efforts to incorporate the Design Thinking process into trades training for students. Firkser's unique approach is being implemented in the district and will introduce students to the trades and skills associated with certain careers.
Career educators Jenn Kidd (LVRogers) and Claire Hewson (Mt. Sentinel Secondary) presented three times to full audiences on the key elements of the new Grade 12 Capstone Project. "We were blown away by the support from not only our school district but other Career Education Teachers from around the province." said Hewson
The Capstone project graduation requirement will allow students to demonstrate their learning using an area(s) of interest as the basis for the project, ideally an area they are passionate about and intend to pursue after graduation.
Kidd and Hewson are leading the charge in the province with their initiative and development of a Capstone guidebook for educators. The guidebook will become a valued resource for guidance and career counsellors throughout the province. "It was a lot of fun to collaborate, inspire, share with other teachers." shared Hewson of her experience as a conference presenter, "I can't wait to see the end product this year and years to come!"
