This term's Rights Mission is to use our lesson plans to consider how your school could help cut costs for families.
The mission follows a report we published earlier this year, which found that lots of parents across Wales struggle to pay for the costs associated with school.
Positive changes
We've made two sets of lesson plans to use in class.
You can choose to focus only on one, or you can do both.
By the end of the Rights Mission, we hope that schools will have made a plan showing how they'll set up a uniform reuse scheme, or make changes in their school that cut costs for families.
The Rights Mission will close on 15 December.
If you're not a part of our scheme, you can read more about it and sign up here,
Lesson 1 – The Revolve Project
This encourages children and young people to set up uniform re-use shops in their schools or link in with community schemes.
The lesson focuses on the environmental benefits of reusing uniform.
We hope that by encouraging schools to create re-use shops in more schools and communities around Wales, we can help limit the burden on families caused by buying school uniform, and have a positive impact on the environment.
Sharing your work with the school community
We've made an editable poster to help you share details of your school uniform re-use shop with your school community.
Use the black and white version
We've made it easy to send your feedback to us.
You can answer a few questions by following this link, or by using the QR codes in the resources.
Lesson 2 – Check with Ceri
We have created an assessment tool for schools to consider the financial impact additional activities can have on families.
We've called it "Check with Ceri".
Ceri is a fictional character who represents a child or young person whose family do not have enough money to afford the things they need, and who may miss out on their rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) because of this.
We want children, young people and adults at the school to take part in the "Check with Ceri" activity, designed to help them to think about what costs might be difficult for Ceri and their family to afford both over the course of the school day, and over the school year.
We then want them to work together to come up with ideas for what schools could do differently to help children like Ceri.
We've made it easy to send your feedback to us.

Credit of this recipe was learned from The Good Vibrations Book and creator Lisa B. This written post is just to share some light on a delicious vegan meal and how to go about making it.
She has a tutorial on her Youtube Channel about making this recipe.
Remember you can always adapt and adjust the recipe to how you like it. I had to adjust a few things and substitute others because I didnt have all of the ingredients. For example I didnt have onion powder but I had garlic powder and I didnt have cremini mushrooms or yellow pepper so I used green peppers, didnt have red onion, had to use white onion. I also didnt have all of the herbs so I went with what I had. Make this to how you like it. I decided to put these fritters into a sandwhich.
Check out her instagram and youtube channel 'the good vibrations book' for more recipes, they're really good and easy to make. Shes also vegan.
You'll need:
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup spring water
- Grapeseed oil
- oregano
- cayenne pepper
- sea salt
- onion powder
- basil
- red peppers
- red onions
- kale
- crimini mushrooms
What to do:
Mix the flour and the water together. It should be like pancake consistency
Add the herbs into the batter. Then mix it all together.
Start to add your vegetables, put all of them in your bowl.
Start to fold the batter over the vegetables. B(ring batter from the bottom on the bowl the cover the vegetables and repeat)
Once everything is evenly mixed together its ready to go.
Place greedspeed oil in a pan and bring to enough temperature where it can fry the batter.
Scoop the batter into the oil (imagine how you want your chickpea patty to be)
Turn over occasionally to book both sides
Place each patty on a plate covered with paper towel (to absorb the excess oil)
Repeat until the batter is finished
She also has an awesome avocado dressing that goes perfectly on top or works as a dipping sauce.
You'll need:
- 2.5 avocados
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Mash the avocado in a bowl and add the other ingredients. Mix all together.

The time we failed Natalie in her first online chat: Jingle Ball 1995
We were doing one of the first "cybercasts" from a live show and Natalie came into the room for a "chat" at our supersonic online station backstage which was powered by two desktops (no laptops of course) 4 28.8 modems tied together, and these really crude early apple (or kodak?) digital cameras. Back then, etiquette in chat rooms was something to be desired. Who am I fooling, chat rooms were precursors to comment sections, which still are god awful places! When she approached all of us geeks with her manager she asked what this was all about. I believe we educated her about the internet for her first time and sold the beauty of the new worldwide online community she was about to experience.
She sat down, skeptical, but game, and prepared for the first question. We had the chat room prepped and excited so we let her see the first unmoderated question (all information should be free right?). The first words that flicked across the yellow and black Private IRC room was well.... I won't repost it here but let's just say her response to it was to stand up and walk directly to her dressing room.
The chat lasted about 10 seconds. She never said or typed a word. These were the early days of the internet, wild west, figuring it out as it went. I wish I had a screen capture of it all. What a blast! Still sorry Natalie!
And because the internet has, uh, improved, a tad since then there is of course a high quality clip from my favorite song of hers from that show.
Check out who else played. If i get time I'll reorder this in who headlined. I'm almost certain though goo goo dolls had top billing over DMB.

About Us
About Us
Creative Partners is a team of talented individuals that work together as a team with one goal – to help you improve your business.
In our experience, many businesses don't fulfil their potential because they lack a joined-up approach. Development work is done bit-by-bit, encouraged by a market full of competing specialist suppliers: designers, web developers, copywriters, CMS providers, SEO specialists, advertising agencies and more.
Creative Partners links strategy to delivery. We work with you to identify your goals and then use our creative and technical skills to implement them. Rather than having to juggle separate specialists during periods of development and growth, you deal with a single point of contact for everything – us.

Theses were colored with Prismacolor pencils. My hands are having trouble holding pencils, so I'm going to move on to something else. The cooler weather of fall tends to make the arthritis is my fingers make coloring difficult.

We are looking back at Caitlin and David's Suncadia Resort destination wedding from 2014. Caitlin and David chose the pacific northwest as their wedding destination because it's where Caitlin had always pictured her wedding day as this is were her family was originally from. Their families are spread throughout the United States and they are settled in Washington DC. Planning a wedding from the other side of the country was challenging however Caitlin and her mom did it flawlessly. Every detail was created by Caitlin's mom with perfection, the linens, napkins, and paper goods were all products of her love. I love the unique florals and the blues and purples that Caitlin selected. Being a part of their wedding day as their Day of Coordinator was an honor, I had so much fun executing and set up their vision for their wedding day, we hope you love viewing these images as much as we do!

How Gradual Acne Will Get Rid of Your Acne
One usually achieves acne control by the constant use of cosmetic or pharmaceutical products with a topical anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Herbal extracts, salicylic acid, bezoyl peroxide are just a few examples of common anti-acne products, yet such treatments do have a downside too. They can be very irritant with a potentially damaging effect on the healthy skin. Acne control should therefore be taken gradually and wisely in order to prevent further harm infliction on the tissues.

We wrote back in 2012 about the challenges of SharePoint auditing and how to address them via Auditing SharePoint with LEM & LOGbinder SP, but the folks over at Monterey Technology Group (the same folks who brought you Ultimate Windows Security) went on to create even MORE useful Microsoft auditing tools. This time around, we've also integrated LOGbinder for Exchange (LOGbinder EX).
Without LOGbinder EX or a tool like it, it's very hard to get visibility into the Exchange auditing logs. Audit data is stored as a part of the mailbox instead of the Event Log, and there's no clean way to get the data into the Event Log repeatably and consistently. Even if you were able to do that, there's a ton of coded data, with different types and metadata that you'd have to translate. The LOGbinder system does this automatically, storing data into the Event Log and both making it easy for you to read and for a system like Log & Event Manager to monitor, alert, and store it.
Use LOGbinder EX for:
Check out the full list of events LOGbinder EX generates for more details.
Use LEM + LOGbinder EX together for:
I just uploaded some rules, filters, and reports for LOGbinder EX over at the Content Exchange that provide some additional insight for the LEM side of your configuration. There's an integration guide in the Zip file that will explain how to install the files, which are all tailored to the LOGbinder EX event log data. You will need an agent installed on your LOGbinder EX system, you'll need to make sure you have the latest product connectors installed, then it's just a matter of following the guide to get set up and start monitoring. You can download a free trial of LOGbinder for Exchange from their website, too.

The Novozyme innovation campus in Lyngby, near Copenhagen, Denmark, will open in 2019. It will employ 800 scientists and business developers who will explore new frontiers in nature to find answers to the challenges associated with our warming world. It will also feature a learning centre open to the public.
Digging deep
Groundbreaking biological solutions lie in the soil of the site of the new campus. "There are around 50 billion microbes in just one tablespoonful of soil found on this ground here today. Every single one of them can be used for developing new biological solutions," says Peder Holk Nielsen.
Novozyme reinvests approximately 14% of its revenue into research annually. This funds the pursuit of solutions that can replace harsh chemicals and reduce waste and energy consumption associated with industrial processes. By learning from nature, its work helps us live in greater harmony with the planet.
For the community
The on campus learning centre, will offer students and visitors the opportunity to learn about science and nature. Modern, sustainable buildings will be surrounded by a park, also open to the public.
This story shows how Novozymes supports Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, specifically Target 9.5: "Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people and public and private research and development spending."
About Novozymes
Novozymes is the world leader in biological solutions. Together with its customers, partners and the global community, it improve industrial performance while preserving the planet's resources and helping to build better lives.

Finitude, the duplicate figure
Splitting. Symbiotic replication. Not a similarity, but a double. Absolute overlap, pure identification. Outline over outline there would be no difference, as if one had stepped out of the other to form a reflective surface.
She splits. And she is she and she. In this way she and she stand side by side. Perfect overlap. More identical than the identical twin, and as such not acknowledging the careful ontological distinction of the twinned being. The double really has nothing to do with twinness, as twinness is the condition of a replicated façade combined with ontological distinction. The double is a pure replication. Ontological identity and mirrored façade. Twinness is an impoverished relative of the double, a not quite proximal enough similitude.
The double, to be double, has to be an aberrancy, in space or in time. Identical splitting is the gesture of the aberration. After the replicative split, she and she overlap. This gesture or that gesture however begin to depart. There is a time-delay, a spatial displacement, a latency of action or an absolute non-commensurability between the two gestures. Thus the double becomes ragged around the edges. A divergence from the moment of separation, so not an embryonic purity, but a birthing of the double into the world. Coming forth in such a manner the double presents the problem of finitude in stark terms. A flood-lit problematic, the double is the double and henceforth she is never quite herself.

The Honor Play is billed as a smartphone for mobile gamers who are on a budget but can its cameras also tempt photographers? Let's find out.
| Huawei Honor Play in Camera Phones
Quick Verdict
The Honor Play is another lovely looking smartphone from Honor that doesn't cost the earth. It's got an excellent screen, decent battery and can capture a good photo. Yes, there are times when images can lack a little 'oomph' and, at the opposite end of the scale, times when the AI can add a little too much 'pow' but generally speaking, it's a decent shooter for the price point. Plus, there are some cool features built in that make photography fun, and creative. If you don't want to spend much more than £250 on a smart device, the Honor Play is a good option.
+ Pros
- Metal Design
- Display is excellent
- Decent photo quality
- Good battery
- Price
- Cons
- AI mode can over saturate images
- Extreme wide dynamic range can be tricky for the camera
- Clipping issues with the depth sensor
- Poor low light performance
Honor might be the budget branch of Huawei but that doesn't mean they skimp on design with smartphones, such as the Honor Play on test, looking just as smart as more premium designs.
The Honor Play is available now in midnight black or navy blue with an RRP of £279.99 but you can pick it up over on Amazon for under £240 (at the time of writing) which makes it an even more reasonable price.
With such a bargain price point, can its camera impress so photographers can take decent photos without spending a huge amount of cash? Let's find out.
Honor Play Features
The Honor Play is billed as a 'performance beast' by the Honor marketing team and it's meant to attract the attention of mobile gamers but faster graphics processing is also useful for those who edit images on-the-go, in programs such as Lightroom for mobile. Plus, a decent 3750mAh battery should mean power isn't an issue either.
Inside there's 64GB storage and 4GB of RAM (no other options are available) and you can view images on a large 6.3-inch FHD+ screen. As for the camera specs, the Honor Play has a rear dual camera featuring a 16MP + 2MP (depth sensor) lens and a 16-megapixel selfie camera is built into the front top notch. 4K video is built in (a nice touch for the price point) or you can shoot 1080p if you want to save on space.
Plenty of creative camera features are built in and the smartphone looks, well, smart with its metal body and rounded corners that ensure it looks/feels modern.
Honor Play Key Features:
- 6.3-inch FHD+ screen with 19.5:9 aspect ratio
- Metal design
- Rear dual camera featuring a 16MP + 2MP (depth sensor)
- 16-megapixel selfie camera
- Aperture mode
- 4K video with EIS
- Creative shooting modes
- Pro mode
- 3750mAH battery
- 64GB storage and 4GB of RAM
Honor Play Handling
Design-wise, the Honor Play seems to be influenced by the design of the Honor 10 with its metal body (no glass back, though), rounded corners, top notch and thin chin. Although, many smartphones do look very similar nowadays but why change a design that works - right? If you do want a device with a slightly smaller top notch (the one on the Honor Play does look big when compared to others) then the newer Honor 10 Lite could be for you with its drop design. Having said that, the Honor Play and Honor 10 Lite both have a 19.5:9 aspect ratio display, with the Honor Play featuring thin bezels and a 6.3-inch screen.
The Honor Play isn't a particularly big smartphone and fits well in the hand. Plus, as there's no glass back, it's not slippy so it's less likely to slide off surfaces. A silicone case is provided with the Honor Play which gives the smartphone a little more protection and as it's clear, it doesn't hide the eye-catching blue colour from view. A lack of glass back means no wireless charging but it's no real hardship plugging a smartphone into a USB-C cable (provided) and hitting a switch (you never know, it might feel nostalgic).
To the side is the usual power/volume controls and a fingerprint sensor is built into the back of the smartphone which is easily found with your index finger. As with most Honor smartphones, the rear dual lens and flash are sat in the top corner of the smartphone so you won't mistake it for the fingerprint sensor and smudge the lens. On the bottom is a speaker USB-C port and headphone jack but no headphones are included in the box.
The screen is a Full HD+ panel and even though the specs aren't on par with the likes of flagships, colours are good, images are clear and you won't have too many issues viewing outdoors.
Those who have used Honor or Huawei smartphones quite a bit will be familiar with the camera app but those switching to the brand will soon learn how to navigate it as everything is labelled well and is easy to use. There's the main 'Photo' option then you swipe left or right to access modes such as Aperture (pick an aperture between f/0.95 and f/16), Video, Portrait (with a beauty feature), 3D Lighting (like Apple's stage lighting) and a Pro mode where you can adjust ISO, shutter speed etc. Under the 'More' tab are plenty of creative options including a night mode, light painting HDR and a panorama mode.
As for the rear camera, it's a dual-sensor with a 2MP depth sensor and 16MP f/2.2 main lens. This does mean you don't have optical zoom but it does mean you can shoot portraits with bokeh. The selfie camera uses a 16MP f/2 sensor and you can also use bokeh mode when using the front camera (but it's all done with some clever tech rather than a depth sensor).
An AI assistant is built in which will recognise what's in front of the lens (22 scenarios to be precise) and optimise settings to help you capture the best image you can and Automatic Image Stabalisation helps steady shots (when the device thinks it's needed) as there's no optical image stabilisation built in.
The Geekbench score is 1895 single core and 6626 multi-core while the AnTuTu score is 206991.
Battery life - The battery is rated at 3750mAh which is pretty decent and the device does offer fast charging so if you do need a battery boost, it shouldn't take too long for it to charge. There's no wireless charging but it's no biggy really.

text: Raising kids with a strong work ethic is crazy important especially as so many kids feel entitled and expect you to do everything. The most important thing to know about hard work, is that it is learned. It can begin as early as in the toddler years. Start out by giving your child "learning opportunities," like clearing the dishes, putting their dirty clothes in the laundry, or raking leaves with the family. "Wow, you worked hard on that, good for you! or "What a help, You are good at loading the dishes!" When kids apply themselves, feel supported and genuinely encouraged, they feel like they are contributing. That feels good. This process becomes ingrained and impacts their school work, sports, and community. It's never too early or too late to start teaching them. You can absolutely do it!

Dewey Mountain is a municipal trail system owned by the town of Harrietstown NY. Among others, Olympic nordic combined gold medalist Bill Demong and Olympic biathlete Tim Burke cut their teeth here as juniors.
On the map above, the blue colored trails are ungroomed: they're somewhat narrower and rougher than the groomed trails closer to the lodge. The current lodge is a small building in need of replacement. There's a fundraising campaign to raise money to build a modern, energy efficient lodge. Bill Demong has speaks passionately about coming up at Dewey Mountain as a junior.

Yeah, yeah, it's already old news and the next issue's already out. We've got an excuse: we attempted to contact Chris Ware, the artist behind the dads-a-plenty cover.
Evidently, 8BitDad isn't as powerful as we all would have hoped. We couldn't get a hold of Ware and The New Yorker ignored our requests for contact. We might also not be allowed to be within 500 feet of newsstands carrying The New Yorker via this weird restraining order we received. Thanks a lot.

You've probably heard the old maxim, "Rules are made to be violated." Sadly, many of us take this to an extreme sometimes: don't run red lights, don't turn left from the right-hand lane, don't follow too closely, signal before changing lanes, obey the speed limit, etc., etc. You get the idea. In traffic, rules guide the flow of cars along the road; in writing, rules guide the production of written material. The rules have been put down to give us a guide to better writing, specifically, to allow us to present our ideas to others with a good chance that those ideas and concepts will be absorbed with the understanding we intended. The rules have survived for hundreds if years, dating back even to some of the Greek philosophers.
Yet, rules are made to be broken. (Not in traffic, hopefully.)
Nick Mamatas, in the July, 2011, issue of The Writer magazine, wrote an article about not starting your story with a hook. This has been a rule for a long time, at least as long as I've been writing, over ten years, certainly very much longer. You gotta grab the reader right away, the rule says–hook him with an attention-getting concept right up front. Mamatas doesn't like it. The hook, he says, is "the motor of the story–it can be the twist at the end, the broad concept, the compelling change a character undergoes…whatever makes the story worth reading." He wants the author to tantalize the reader, not hook him. That's the way to keep the reader reading; let him know there's something worthwhile in this novel or short story.
I like that idea. Writing should be good enough to keep the reader interested, not bore him into putting the book (or whatever type of e-reader he has) down. If you can do that by breaking the rules, more power to you. What other rules can we break? Lots.
But there's a problem. Just breaking the rules for the sake of breaking them isn't likely to lead to good writing. A writer has to know what the rules are before he can break them. An that's why we follow the rules to begin with. That's why the rules were established in the first place, to give beginning writers a guide to go by to produce viable works. As with any vocation, you gotta know the rules–the basics–first, before you can break them. Just breaking the rules willy-nilly would lead to gobbledygook, unintelligible crap and unconvincing drivel. Your message wouldn't get across, and that's what you're trying to do. You can't play baseball without knowing the rules, you dare not become a physician without knowing the basics of medicine, you wouldn't become a plumber without knowing the basics of plumbing. But once established in your profession, breaking the rules becomes possible because you know what will happen if you do, and are sophisticated enough to work around it.
Violate the rules, sure. But be careful and realize what you're doing.

If you have been involved with school fundraisers in some capacity, especially with elementary school fundraising, chances are very good that you have at least heard of Smencils pencils for fundraising. And it should be no surprise that so many people are familiar with this fund raising program because it is such a great option for so many different groups.
Real quick, for anyone who hasn't heard of Smencils, they are standard #2 or colored pencils that are made from recycled newspapers rather than wood. The newspapers are hardened and then the whole pencil is infused with a scent like orange or licorice. Our Smencils pencils come packed in cases of 500 pencils and you earn 50% profit guaranteed. There is no minimum order level and standard shipping is always free of charge.
Now that that's out of the way, how about some ideas on ways to sell Smencil pencils for fundraising? The easiest and least intrusive way to sell Smencils in a school setting is to buy 1 bucket for each teacher or each grade and simply have them for sale in classrooms. Make a rule that the Smencil pencils can only be purchased between class periods so that there is no disruption.
You could also opt to sell Smencils before the school year starts as part of a back to school supplies kit fundraiser. This can be a really simple way to raise money because you know that every student will be buying some kind of school supplies for the year and every one will need some pencils.
For more ideas on selling Smencil pencils for fundraising, please call us at 877-448-9746 and we will be happy to discuss the best ideas for your school and your particular fundraising situation.
"Thank you for your great customer service- I very much appreciate it!!"
"It's refreshing to work with a company that recognizes how tired we are of "hard sell" tactics. We were looking for a fund raiser with useful products, a message of conservation, no nonsense organization and great follow through. We found it!! Thanks so much!"
"Thanks for all your assistance with our fundraiser. You
have really made this a great experience for us."
"Thank you for being so easy to work with on this fundraiser and I know who I will be contacting for future fundraisers : )"

Halo illuminated built up lettering.
Halo illumination effects for all types of built up lettering
Halo illuminated built up lettering is a product range we manufacture in quantity. Halo lighting provides a subtle lighting effect which enhances any standard non illuminated letter casing.
Halo illuminated built up lettering can be manufactured in almost any size or typeface.
Halo illuminated built up lettering- planning compliant.
Halo illuminated built up lettering fits into the revised planning regulations issued in April 2007. Under the new guidelines a shift from large, illuminated surface areas to more subtle forms of lighting.
Rather than promote illuminated light boxes the planning regulations now favour halo illumination and fret cut facia signage.
With halo illuminated built up lettering you can propose lighting designs which are in keeping with the new regulations.
Halo illuminated built up lettering- how it works.
Halo illuminated built up lettering is quite a simple system. We build your built up lettering and logos in the same way we would for non illuminated.
We then add White or coloured leds onto the inside of each built up letter. The led modules are positioned so that light is projected backwards onto the surface to which the lettering or logos are fitted.
This rear projecting light diffuses on the fitting surface creating a "glow" of light around the perimeter of each character.
Halo illuminated built up lettering can be fitted with White, Red, Blue, Green or Amber led lighting. A range of colour changing led modules are also available.
Chrome or satin halo lit lettering.
Halo illuminated built up lettering can be produced from standard Chrome or satin silver stainless steel finishes. Any other RAL colour can be achieved by simply painting natural finish stainless steel.
See more details on our painted built up lettering page here.
Halo illuminated built up lettering- safe and simple to install.
Halo illuminated built up lettering is exclusively supplied with low voltage led modules. These leds work on a safe 12v DC power supply so installation is a very simple process- you don't need to install high voltage cabling and lock outs.
Led lighting delivers long life, low carbon lighting which gives you a "fit and forget" product. You don't even have to use a metal based letter, we also manufacture inexpensive PVC products specifically for halo lighting.

A new statewide guardianship system will increase accountability and reduce the likelihood of abuses like that of a Dunmore mother accused of pilfering her brain-damaged son's accounts, local county and state officials said.
The Guardianship Tracking System, or GTS, allows county officials to better track if guardians complied with state law that mandates they file reports listing their ward's assets and expenses within 90 days of their appointment and annually thereafter.
The state developed the system in part because of concerns that the cases were not being closely monitored, said Amy Whitworth, manager of the GTS for the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts.
A guardian is someone appointed to manage the care and finances of a person who is mentally or physically incapable of doing so. There are 17,263 guardianship cases statewide, Whitworth said.
"Some counties were more diligent than others in reviewing cases," Whitworth said. "They reviewed what came in, but if a guardian failed to file a report, there wasn't much enforcement happening to make them file."
The GTS streamlines the process. All counties entered data on all guardianships. The system tracks due dates for reports and sends a notice to the guardian and court when a report is late. After 20 days, cases are reported to a county's orphan's court judge, who can hold guardians in contempt if they continue to fail to comply. The system went live in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties in October 2018.
"It gives us a safety net so we can better protect incapacitated people," said Luzerne County President Judge Richard Hughes,who oversees orphan's court.
As of Thursday, there were 433 open guardianship cases in Lackawanna County; Luzerne County had 536 open cases. Before the GTS was created, someone would have to manually go into each report to determine the filing deadlines.
"There was no real monitoring," said Lackawanna County Orphan's Court Judge Vito Geroulo. "Now, there is a fail safe system in place to make sure reports are filed."
The GTS allows guardians to file reports online and alerts the court to suspicious or unusual activity, said Lackawanna County Register of Wills Fran Kovaleski. For instance, if a guardian reports a person does not have a safety deposit box, but later lists an expense for that item, the system will flag it.
While the system is an improvement, it does not guarantee abuses won't still occur, Kovaleski said. The courts still must rely on the guardians to report all assets and expenses of their ward, she said. If they conceal information, she has no way to know that.
That happened in the case of Michael Butler Jr., a Dunmore Department of Public Works employee who suffered permanent brain damage after falling from a garbage truck, court records show. His mother, Jacqueline Butler, and sister, Natalie King, were charged Monday with stealing money earmarked for his care.
Police said Jacqueline Butler stole $55,325 while King stole $5,471.
Jacqueline Butler and her husband, Michael Butler Sr., a longtime Dunmore school director, were appointed guardians of their son in February 2018. They filed a 90-day report on July 31, 2018, that listed his assets as $6,552 and expenses for his care as $5,066.33. However, they failed to list a guardian/trustee account they opened on his behalf on April 25, 2018, according to the arrest affidavit.
That account had total deposits of $20,586.24. Police allege Jacqueline Butler stole money from that account, as well as her son's personal bank account and another account that was set up after the first guardian report was filed. The Butlers were removed as guardians on March 11.
Lackawanna and Luzerne county officials say cases like Butler's are rare.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time these are really caring people," Hughes said, noting he's had only two cases of alleged wrongdoing in the seven years he's overseen orphan's court.
The vast majority of guardians in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties also are complying with the reporting law. Of the 433 open cases in Lackawanna, 34 guardians are currently late filing, Kovaleski said. In Luzerne County, guardians are late in 95 of the 536 open cases, said Nicole Marek-Klapat, Hughes' executive secretary, who monitors the cases for the county.
Kovaleski and Mary Dysleski, manager of Luzerne County's register of wills and recorder of deeds offices, said they believe most of the late filings are honest mistakes. Some people did not know they are required to file the reports. Others don't understand how to fill them out.
"Some of them are parents who are 70 years old and have a 50-year old child living with them," Kovaleski said. "It was overwhelming to them."
Both counties are working with guardians to educate them about their responsibilities and assist them in filling out the reports. The AOPC also created a brochure explaining the GTS, which can be accessed at https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/Guardianship.aspx, and an online training video, which can be viewed at https://help.pacourts.us/PortalVideoHelp/

Stunning, Functional, Social Kitchens
A current kitchen renovation project inspires new woodshop storage concepts for my garage: recycle the old kitchen cabinets into new storage space. When I looked by means of all of these as I made choices for my own dream kitchen, I realized that every single kitchen I'd clipped had white cabinets. WordToAshley points out that this is the exact same mixer that Martha uses on her show. In my case, there were not adequate base cabinets to stretch all of the way across the back of the garage, so I incorporated the 'gap' into the style by placing the table saw in the middle of garage. For a show-stopping kitchen, use these guides to figure out your kitchen plans prior to you get started. Depending on whether or not your kitchen island will be used for food preparation and serving or for gathering and eating will determine the kind of lighting that will work ideal. Even though they won't have Martha's name, they will nonetheless aid you finish your kitchen in the colour you really like.
If you feel of hanging pendant lights for kitchen islands as extended, skinny fixtures, think once again, due to the fact style options for these lights are as vastly special and lovely as you can envision. Pick an easy-to-assemble island that fits the style and space of your kitchen, and watch how rapidly it becomes the new center of your property. If you strategy on making use of your kitchen island for meals prepping only, then you may want to look for higher voltage hanging light fixtures that can provide more task lighting. Or if you have stainless steel appliances, painting your kitchen island black and adding new stainless knobs and drawer handles will tie the look collectively nicely.
Although preparing an extensive kitchen remodel, I knew that we had been going to replace our sink. Notion 6: If you entertain a lot and use your island mostly as a buffet, it may possibly be preferable to use ambient bulbs for your hanging pendant light, so that it's understated and softer lighting. Also, widespread faucets styles are obtainable, with a hot and a cold manage with the spout every single drilled into the surface individually. Plumbing shops and property improvement centers normally have books that can be used to determine faucets and/or a excellent working knowledge of local brands. If you use an abrasive cleanser the surface of the sink will dull, and metal pans will definitely leave ugly skid marks across the sink.
The fireplace was added throughout our renovation, the original fireplace (which only opened into the formal dining room behind the kitchen) had significant repair troubles and was taken down to make a see-thru fireplace among the kitchen and the dining area. As space has turn out to be a restricted selection in many new kitchens, kitchen organizers have proved to be an invaluable asset. This is a fantastic kitchen resolution and I hugely recommend this or similar to any individual …

The nominations for Debian Project Leader elections for 2011 are open. As always, I'm tempted to nominate myself, but after thinking about it, I again conclude that I shouldn't.
If I did nominate myself, there's a couple of things I'd like to push for.
- re-think the new maintainer process: if you are known among existing members of the project to do good work for the project, and to be trustworthy, then you should be offered membership, and that means voting rights (upload and login rights are less important)
- in general, attract more new contributors to the project
- more rotation for key positions: it is good for the project if positions like DAM, DSA, secretary, etc, get new people into these positions, so that the knowledge and skills get spread out more
- improve how we deal with conflict, especially internally: we've reduced
general flame levels a lot over the past fix years or so, but we
still have problems dealing with conflict or disagreements
- this should probably include a more explicit consensus on what is acceptable and what is unacceptable behavior within the project (lists, irc, bts, etc), and how this should be enforced
- this could also include education and training of how to deal with conflict; perhaps even about dealing with cross-cultural issues
- could also include neutral "ambassadors", "diplomats", or "hostage negotiators" that step into a heating situation and attempt to defuse it before it blows up
- regular online training sessions, e.g., for packaging in general,
packaging of particular kinds of applications, etc
- Debian Women has run a number of such sessions over IRC, and Ubuntu runs such sessions regularly
- both popular and useful
- realtime access to a teacher is qualitatively different from reading books or web pages
The DPL position is inherently a political one, which is why nothing in the list above is technical. On the other hand, I want to concentrate my Debian time on doing stuff that is fun, and right now that means writing code. I want to write code for Debian.

I am in the early 50 years.
I am concerned about drying · pores · marionette line etc.
The scent of frankincense and citrus is well-balanced and healed.
Approximately one month has passed since I started using it but it seems that my skin problems have been improved little by little.
I am also drinking hyaluronic acid and collagen supplements, so it may be a synergistic effect.
It seems that lifting effect can not be expected so much, so I'd like to use 'Neal's Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Lift Cream' next time.

This document was written by Joe Thomas and sent to me for inclusion in this website. Joe has a first class degree in Biosciences.
In the time that it has taken you to read this sentence, you have fallen through an eternal expanse of stars at approximately 460 metres a second. Clinging to a green and blue ball of rock awash in this endless sea, one could easily be forgiven for feeling very small and insignificant next to the enormity of existence. But despite the seemingly unyielding permanence of it all, our place within the cosmic scheme has never been under greater threat.
In our ever ambitious bid to become the masters of the world around us, our dependence on plundering the riches of the planet has in fact done the opposite and made us slaves to its bounty, addicts who are incapable of sating our desire for resources that once consumed are never coming back. Whilst political bodies across the world have all too slowly come to realise this and come to various agreements to reverse the damage wreaked on the environment, the wheels of industry all too often have no such conscience.
Take the rainforests of Asia and South America for instance. Applying industrial scale methods, companies around the world have turned their attention to Earth's largest expanses of greenery. Loggers, farmers, land developers- too many of each fail to see that the rainforests themselves are of more value in their natural state than as land to be built on. Each year on average, approximately 46-58 thousand square miles of forest is consumed. Not only does this compromise the habitat of the local wildlife, but gone is another source of valuable natural extracts. These help to make up the medicines that we take for granted every day, from cough medicine to aspirin. You might be able to afford the priciest champagne through cutting down the rainforest, but how worth it will it be when there's no more hangover cures the next day?
Indeed, such short-sighted thinking has already had a devastating effect on the human population close by. catastrophic damage wrought by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Aside from a surprisingly good film, the resultant explosion and leak of oil into the surrounding waters not only led to the deaths of 11 workers and thousands of local animals, but devastated local economies. Across Mexico, South America, the Caribbean and the American states on the southern seaboard, polluted waters ruined the livelihoods of fishermen, tourist establishments that rely on the pristine seas and virtually every other business that is similarly dependent.
In regards to this concern, the average person can hardly be held responsible for the flaws in the extraction process of crude oil. However, what we can do is make sure that such accidents become less likely to occur as less oil is needed due to a switch to renewable power sources.
As useful as oil is, it is becoming increasingly unnecessary to use for small-scale applications. All over the world, great leaps are being made to harness the natural energy all around us, wind, solar and tidal being but a few of the most prominent. Even within your home, you can install some kind of initiative that isn't dependent on oil and even save yourself money in the long run through lower energy bills.
It's not only oil spills, as due to the amount of chemicals from agriculture and industry which are being washed into the sea, our oceans now have a large number of dead zones. These dead zones are areas where the low level of oxygen in the water means that marine life can no longer be supported there. This isn't helped by further gross overfishing that is bringing fish populations down to levels that sometimes can't be replenished.
However, oil extraction is not the biggest threat to the health of the planet's marine biology. Whilst undeniably more spectacular and devastating when it happens, fortunately industrial accidents at sea are relatively rare. What is an unescapable threat every hour though, is the amount of plastic that ends up tossed in the sea. Just from bottled water alone, 176 billion bottles each year find their way to the depths, with 10% of these never degrading.
Naturally, larger sea life such as wales ends up swallowing this debris and even smaller animals mistake bits of plastic for food, condemning to a hideous death via choking. Aside from the humanitarian implications of such an act necessitating us to do better, humans are not removed from this danger. As those plastics which do degrade come apart in the water, they release a number of dangerous chemicals, which eventually find their way into our drinking water and has been linked to a multitude of ill-health symptoms. As animals consume these plastics and we in turn consume them, we are taking such hazards into ourselves.
To illustrate this point perhaps better than any text or statistics, the Pacific Garbage Patch drifts as a mockery of man's impact on the waters that sustain us. Unknown in its actual dimensions, the Patch is thought to be gargantuan in size to the extent that is twice the size of the United States as a landmass! Affecting more than 250 species, the obvious fix to this issue is recycling, recycling and more recycling. Simply put, not throwing stuff away means no need to buy more and in turn less resources are used to produce replacement items. This included not buying bottled water or taking plastic bags, where you use the same one. At any point you can reduce plastic waste, making efforts to really does help. On top of that you save money so quite literally everyone's a winner. If you want to go an extra mile to help combat this giant problem, you can sign up as a volunteer for a marine conservation programme.Here is a summary of ten things you can do to help:
Indeed, this culture of discarding what we have due too mere convenience has found its way into nearly everything we do. Even with perishable goods with a short lifespan such as food is no exemption, with developed countries on average throwing away 30-40% of all food purchased. As well as being a waste of money, this has cultivated a situation in which 30% of the world's farmland is essentially wasted. We have already touched on earlier how the expansion of farming is a leading cause of deforestation, so the fact that it wasn't even of use to anyone just makes a bad situation worse.
Thankfully, this is an issue which can easily be dealt with by the average person with minimal effort. Instead of buying regular brand food, consider going for a long-life alternative. It tastes the same and saves you having to yet another tedious shopping trip, so you really have everything to gain. Right this minute, such a way of thinking is being exported around the world by institutions with a global reach, whilst at a smaller level, teams of volunteers are at work providing local communities with their own solutions to make the most of resources we here take for granted. With a change of mindset, not only will we be richer, but the healthier environment we create will be worth more than any currency.
Perhaps the most notorious candidate on this list, the hidden cost of vehicular travel is responsible for roughly 13%of carbon dioxide that is fuelling global warming. As can be seen in this staggering infographic, the number of cars and lorries ploughing the world's roads is enormous, to the point that I can't even type out the numbers as they shift before my eyes. That's not even to mention the emissions from sea and air travel, as due to being the lifeblood of our trade, cutting back on the number of these vehicles is a difficult proposition.
Resultantly, this is an issue that is arguably the most difficult to fix on this list. Whilst millions do reduce their carbon footprint via public transport, for many more that simply isn't a plausible possibility. I myself would have no hope in hell of making it to work in time without my car and with none of my colleagues living near enough to car pool, my options are strictly limited.
So we arrive in a situation where just waving a wand and removing our vehicles is an unrealistic fantasy. Instead, we have to make do with what we have, but optimise this for a healthier environment. Lorries for instance don't necessarily need to be gas guzzlers, when there is a range of measures transport firms can take at a minimal cost. Doing so not only reduces emissions, but increases fuel efficiency which in turn requires less spending on petrol.
The same principle applies to the average motorist as well. Whilst efficiency often has an initial short-term cost, over the course of a car's lifespan, the owner will recoup their outlay and then some, due to requiring fewer trips to the pump. Many guides can easily be found to point you in the right direction if you're not a 'motorhead', with eco-friendly being the new black out on the roads.
You may have heard about food miles. This is the distance your food has travelled before it reaches your plate. What can you do to help this? Buy local produce. It helps the local community and keeps your carbon footprint down.Quick summary of things you can do to help:
Overall, it's this concept of making the most of what we have that should be the chief objective for our society in the immediate future. Whilst it may be a pipedream to expect 100% sustainable energy and industry overnight, this can be achieved through continued diligence and co-operation. Extensive research has been going on for years looking for that one big breakthrough to transform the world, but environmentalism is not the sole responsibility of a handful of scientists.
Rather than view this challenge as a burden, I would propose the opposite. Countering the threats to our environment highlights the incredible worth of quite literally every single person, regardless of background. All are equal before a drought and a great flood does not discriminate what gets swept away. Our green and blue rock has the potential to be our paradise or our prison, but the solutions are there to make things as we want it to be. We can have the resources and products we want in an inexhaustible amount, if we take steps now to make it happen. If a few sacrifices today are all that's needed for me to have a top of the range car and phone tomorrow, that sounds like a worthy trade to me. Wouldn't you agree

The objective of this 3-year (2011-2014) EC-funded project is to carry out large-scale field operational tests of cooperative systems to evaluate under real-world conditions their impact on user behaviour, traffic flow, safety, the environment and society, at test sites in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.
In addition to impacts, other important areas of testing are technical functionality and the robustness of the systems under adverse conditions. The user feedback and the results from technical tests will enable the creation of realistic business models to pave the way for market implementation.
The project will bind together and harmonise existing European test sites according to mutually agreed methodological and operational procedures. To develop and implement its methodology, the project will build on previous work carried out in PRE-DRIVE C2X (completed in 2010), which developed an integrated simulation model for cooperative systems enabling a holistic approach for the estimation of the expected benefits in terms of safety, efficiency and the environment.

Tottenham Hotspur got back to winning ways on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Spurs needed three points badly after a poor recent run, with goals from Harry Kane and Erik Lamela ensuring victory over Chris Hughton's men.
Tottenham were largely dominant and put in an improved performance – without showing fully what the side is capable of.
However, there were a number of nervy spells were Brighton got their tails up and Spurs had to hang on slightly.

TRANMERE Rovers manager Ray Mathias is banking on a specially arranged friendly against Crewe today to clear any remaining doubts that midfield talisman Tyrone Loran is ready for a return to front line action.
The Dutchman (right), yet to taste defeat in 17 first-team outings for Tranmere, has not played in more than a month since damaging knee ligaments in training.
Mathias hopes to put Loran in the frame for a first senior appearance of the new season at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
But first he wants to give the 22-year-old a chance to gain some match sharpness and clear any lingering reservations the player may hold in his own mind about his fitness.
Mathias says: "Tyrone had quite a bad injury and has made a good recovery.
"He has been going well in training and we are confident his knee is OK now.
"The lad said he was feeling the injury a little last week and that's possibly in his mind.
"A player coming back from injury has a mental barrier to break through to be confident of doing everything he is asked in a game.
"It's a question of Tyrone getting it in his own mind that he is capable of going through a game.
"We are a little short in numbers so we would not risk Tyrone in any way by bringing him back too quickly."
Loran's record at Prenton Park makes a compelling case for his inclusion in the squad at the first opportunity.
Tranmere reeled off 10 wins and five draws when Loran was deployed in a defensive midfield role over the final 15 games of last season.
He was a hard tackling guard dog who protected the back four and provided central midfield partner Gary Jones with the opportunities to break forward to support the attack.
Mathias says: "Tyrone came into the side in midfield down at Plymouth last season.
"I asked him to do a marking job on David Friio and he did it exceptionally well. The tactics worked a treat and he became confident playing in that position.
"He performed very well there for the rest of last season and I'm sure if he gets through the Crewe game he will be challenging for a place on Saturday."
Experienced Scot Mickey Mellon reclaimed the central midfield slot in Loran's absence this season, starting all six league and cup games.
Mellon gave way to Alan Navarro early in the second half of Tranmere's 1-1 draw with Colchester last Saturday.
Mathias says: "Tyrone is a totally different kind of midfielder to Mickey and Alan.
"He is more of a defender and often allows Gary Jones to get forward.
"But he does have the ability to play himself and pass the ball about. He has been trying his little tricks in training and that shows his confidence is coming back."
Midfield wasn't Loran's specialist position. He arrived on long-term loan from Manchester City in January as a centre-back.
Mathias says: "We may have to use him as a centre-back in the future or even at right-back. Tyrone is versatile."
The Crewe game will provide Tranmere's fringe players with some welcome action in a week when they have no competitive Reserve team fixture.
The players watched a video recording of the Col-chester game yesterday and then discussed some of the problems they have been facing in a stuttering start to the Division Two campaign.
Mathias said: "We are trying to get the fine tuning right. There are one or two players who are not at their best yet.
"When these problems are sorted out I hope we will start picking up wins instead of draws."

Weber State University's track and field senior Jordan Cross qualified for the NCAA Championships competing in the steeplechase.
Cross brought home the Big Sky title for the 3,000-meter steeplechase after placing first in Moscow, Idaho, which qualified him to compete in the preliminary round in Sacramento, CA.
In the preliminary round Cross ran and new personal best of 8:41.72. That was a full eight seconds faster than his previous best and a half a second off the WSU all-time top 10 list.
He finished third in his heat and seventh overall on his way to qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
Cross has been a consistent top performer for Weber State in both track and field and cross country since joining the teams in 2016. He also qualified for the NCAA West Preliminaries last year and has earned Big Sky Academic All-Conference honors every year since joining the team.
Junior Abbi Brecht, senior Anthony Gregory, junior Summer Harper, and freshman Kate Sorensen, all participated in the preliminary round with Cross as well.
Gregory competed in the high jump and just missed on joining Cross at the Championship meet. Gregory matched his season best jump of 6-11, and was tied for the final qualifying spot. He competed in a jump off for the spot, but ultimately finished 13th overall.
Summer Harper came in 26th in the women's steeplechase and she posted the seventh best women's steeplechase time in WSU history, with a time of 10:16.72.
Abbi Brecht finished 34th in the women's high jump, but also set a new personal best with a jump of 5-7. Kate Sorensen finished 33rd in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 1:00.05.
Jordan Cross will compete at the NCAA Championship meet in Eugene, Oregon, from June 6-9.

According to the International Committee GEOCHANGE, powerful solar flares are expected between late July and late August. Increased solar activity can cause abnormal heat in many parts of the world. Powerful solar flares may lead to malfunction of satellite and terrestrial communication systems, overload power substations, affect the operational stability of electronic control systems at industrial facilities over large areas across the planet.
Forecast graph for 24th cycle of solar activity (IC GEOCHANGE, 01.06.2011)
Intense solar flares are expected to be accompanied by an increase in the number and energy of strong earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well as extreme weather events: hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, etc.
The abnormal temperature rise will also be accompanied by extreme heat wave in some regions and a sharp temperature drop in the others due to the redistribution of cyclones and anticyclones. A surge in the number of wildfires and ignitions of peat deposits is expected as well.
Solar flares can adversely affect the health of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and essential hypertension. Therefore, elderly and sick persons are not recommended to stay long under direct sunlight.
The next increase in solar activity within the 24th 11-year solar activity cycle is expected for late December 2011 – early January 2012.
The development dynamics of the 24th cycle of solar activity and its possible consequences for the modern civilization will be discussed in detail at the World Forum – International Congress "Natural Cataclysms and Global Problems of the Modern Civilization GEOCATACLYSM-2011" to be held 19-21 September, 2011 at the Congress Center in Istanbul, Turkey (www.2011.geocataclysm.org).

Acetaminophen: How Can I Protect My Children?
Children can more easily be harmed by too much acetaminophen than adults. Acetaminophen, the main ingredient in many over-the-counter cold and fever medications, such as Tylenol, may cause liver damage and liver failure if taken in large than recommended doses or for a long time.Read More »
What You Need to Know About Acetaminophen
Acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used drugs in the United States. It is used as a fever-reducer and as a pain reliever, and can be found in many common over-the-counter (OTC) products, including Tylenol, Alka-seltzer, Nyquil, and many cold and flu medicines. When used as directed, there is little danger. However, taking too much can have serious health consequences, and children in particular are at high risk.Read More »

Where did all of the wood parquet flooring go? At one time, it seemed like every mid-century modern home had a kitchen, dining room, den or rec. room with these geometric hardwood tiles used for the floor. Today, though, wood flooring retailers seem to prominently display their exotic hardwood strip flooring up front, while the cartons of wood parquet tiles languish in the back room. And many homes have covered over their parquet flooring with ceramic tile, engineered wood, luxury vinyl planks, or laminate planks.
But, as with Mark Twain, rumors of the death of wood parquet flooring have been greatly exaggerated.
The Evolution of Parquet Flooring
The earliest true parquet hardwood floors date to the 16th century when wealthy aristocrats began laying it over marble flooring. Hardwood floors of various types were the staple for centuries, although American homes covered them over with carpeting in the post-war era. During this post-war era, carpet reigned in all but the finest homes, where hardwood flooring, including parquet, could still be seen.
Fun Fact
At one time, a genuine parquet hardwood floor was the sign of opulent wealth, since these floors were the result of fine craftsmen painstakingly cutting and fitting small pieces of hardwood into unique and artistic geometric patterns on a floor.
All this changed when flooring manufacturers began to mass-produce thin parquet tiles 8 to 12 inches square in the 1960s and 1970s. By creating engineered wood tiles with pieces of hardwood veneer arranged in geometric patterns, manufacturers made it possible for just about anyone to create the appearance of a very expensive parquet floor. And because the tiles used only thin hardwood veneers, the costs of this flooring were very reasonable. The result? Hundreds of thousands of home suddenly were using parquet tiles for flooring all over the place, often removing their carpeting to do so.
All things change, though, and gradually the look of parquet tiles became common and was recognized for what it was—an inexpensive copy of what was once a very expensive floor installed by artistic craftsman. And as new flooring materials, such as plastic laminates, vinyl planks, and porcelain tiles came into vogue, hardwood parquet tiles began their move out of the front of the store and into the back room.
The Advantages of Hardwood Parquet Flooring
But what goes around comes around, and parquet flooring is poised to make a comeback, thanks partly to the fact that consumers are now finding a nostalgic appeal to a flooring once prevalent in mid-century modern homes. Today, parquet flooring isn't viewed as a cheap copy of old-time crafted parquet floors, but as a retro tribute to the 1970s and 1980s. And improved products have also made parquet tiles more popular again. Rather than tiles with a simple parallel or herringbone patterns, dozens of additional patterns are now available. And where once the primary wood species options were oak and maple, parquet flooring tiles can now be found in many other hardwoods, including some exotics.
- Parquet tiles are easier to install than hardwood planks. Glue-down installation means no nailing is required. The urethane-based adhesive has a 60-minute working time, which allows you ample time to perfect the placement. Because tiles are thin, they are easy to cut with a saw.
- Today's hardwood parquet floor tiles are solid wood—not engineered products with veneer layers.
- Many patterns are available. Multi-piece construction of each tile lends a deep, 3D appearance.
- Prefinished tiles are the standard. You can find parquet tiles in many colors, with very hard and durable polyurethane finishes already applied. There is no mess or smells from finishing.
- Parquet is a perfect flooring choice for recreating mid-century modern decor styles.
Drawbacks of Hardwood Parquet Flooring
There are a few drawbacks to parquet floor tiles:
- Because parquet is real wood, manufacturers recommend that you install this product at or above grade. This flooring is not recommended for basements.
- Tiles are quite thin, at about 5/16 inch. There is not much structural value to these floors, and if the underlying framework isn't solid, these floors may flex underfoot.
- Fondness for parquet flooring is a unique taste. Future owners may not like it unless they have an appreciation for mid-century modern styles.
- Refinishing options are limited. The thin layer of wood means that only light sanding is possible. Alternating directions of wood grain also complicate sanding. Refinishing these floors needs to be approached very carefully.
Bottom Line
Hardwood parquet tiles are enjoying a resurgence, with newer products that use solid hardwood rather than veneer construction and offering many options for patterns and finishes. They are among the easiest of all solid hardwood flooring products to install and are a perfect fit for mimicking the modern-classic style of mid-century modern decor. Once confined mostly to domestic hardwoods such as oak and maple, there are now many other species available, such as pecan, teak, ash, and bamboo. For a homeowner who prefers solid hardwood, parquet tiles offer an affordable, easy to install option.

The Moon orbits Earth in an elliptical orbit (not a perfect circle), hence the distance of the Moon from the Earth varies throughout the year.
In 2019, the closest the Full Moon will be to the Earth will be 356,846 km (221,734 mi) – referred to as Perigee. And the furthest the Full Moon will be from Earth with be 406,248 km (252,431 mi) – referred to as Apogee.
When a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with being Perigee (closest to Earth), it is deemed a SUPERMOON. Conversely, when a Full Moon or New Moon coincides with being Apogee (furthest from Earth), it is deemed a MICROMOON.
Does a Super Moon look different ? When comparing a SUPERMOON to a MICRO Moon, the Moon's luminosity will be up to 30% brighter and the Moon will appear from Earth to be up to 14% Bigger.
A MICROMOON is the Astrological term for the Moon (New Moon or Full Moon) when it is the furthest away from the Earth. Astronomers call these moons 'Apogee Moon' meaning 'away from Earth'.
There are two MicroMoons during 2019 – one New Moon & one Full Moon:
5 February 2019 – New Moon
14 September 2019 – Full Moon – 406,248 km (252,431 mi)
The term 'SuperMoon' was coined by Richard Nolle in 1979 – as follows:
"…a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given (yearly) orbit (perigee). In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.."
And a slightly broader definition of SuperMoon by Fred Espenak as follows:
"…a new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a currently monthly orbit, relative to the most recent perigee and the upcoming apogee."
The term supermoon is not used within the astronomical community, which uses the term perigee-syzygy or perigee full/new moon. Perigee is the point at which the Moon is closest in its orbit to the Earth, and syzygy is when the Earth, the Moon and the Sun are aligned.
There will be two FULL MOON SuperMoons & three NEW MOON SuperMoons during 2019 (Source: EarthSky.org)
21 January 2019 – Full Moon – 357,715 km (222,274 mi)
19 February 2019 – Full Moon – 356,846 km (221,734 mi) – closest Full Moon 2019
21 March 2019 – Full Moon – 360,772 km (224,173 mi)
1 August 2019 – New Moon
30 August 2019 – New Moon – closest New Moon 2019
28 September 2019 – New Moon
SuperMoons – Physical Effects
Referring to the images right (click to enlarge), around each Full Moon and New Moon – when the Sun, Earth & Moon are located more or less on a line in space – the gravitational pull on the Earths Oceans are affected, hence the range between high and low tides is greatest. These tides are referred to as SPRING TIDES.
During a SUPERMOON, due to the Moon being especially close to Earth, this alignment and greater gravitational pull of the Moon on Earths Oceans accentuates our Spring Tides even more… giving us an even HIGHER High Tide and an even LOWER Low Tide than normal. These amplified tides are referred to as PERIGEE SPRING TIDES.
It is unlikely that Perigee Spring Tides will cause flooding… unless of course the tides are associated with a strong weather system.
But it is interesting to note, that historically after a SUPERMOON (either Perigee Full or New Moon), strong correlations have been drawn between SUPERMOON energy and Earthquakes, Storm Cells & dramatic changes in weather patterns.
SuperMoons – Holistic Effects
Whilst Super Moons have been shown to affect the tides above, just like the Earth's Surface humans are also made up of over 70% water… hence the gravitation pull of the Moon also affects us !
SUPERMOONS 'amplify' and affect our physical, emotion & mental states of beingness.
Based on the SUPERMOONS alignments with other planets, constellations & energetic bodies within our cosmos.. as well as the SUPERMOONS position within our own Astrological Charts, SUPERMOONS affect each individual differently. But what can generally be said is that SUPERMOONS are amplifiers of our energy fields and awaken higher potentials of the current planetary alignments that they are associated with.
What does this all mean ? Energy runs high during a SUPERMOON… you may feel more emotional, electric, experience sleep disturbances or have expressive / lucid dreams. You may also find your intuition is heightened, synchronicity more pronounced and you become more aware or sensitive to the energy of the environment / people / plants / animals… actually everything !
The best way to balance with this highly charged energy is to Earth yourself by walking bare foot on the ground, hiking in nature, swimming in a lake or the ocean or connecting with Crystals / Earths Crystalline Field.

Does anyone have any suggestions of a chicken dish I can cook in the oven with pretty much what I have? Thank you!

18 Dec -- More Snow!
We have had a ton of snow this past week and here some pics.
We found Jane sleeping on the floor like this during quiet time.
Dan put his skills to work and made this. Jane saw it and said, "It's a dog house. Woof!"
