The House is scheduled to consider two CUNA-backed regulatory relief bill this week, and CUNA is also engaged in several hearings on Capitol Hill, in addition to its strong efforts in support of S. 2155.
Both the Comprehensive Regulatory Review Act (H.R. 4607) and the Portfolio Lending and Mortgage Access Act (H.R. 2226) have CUNA's support and align with the principles of CUNA's Campaign for Common-Sense Regulation.
H.R. 4607 would amend the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 to require the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council and federal financial regulators, including the CFPB and NCUA, to review all existing regulations once every five years. NCUA currently voluntarily reviews its regulations every three years, which CUNA supports.
H.R. 2226 would treat residential mortgages held in portfolio by the original creditor as qualified mortgages.
Hearings CUNA is engaged with this week include:

Installing a Polyaspartic Floor
The first step is getting trained to do the installation properly. Flexmar, The Stamp Store, Advantage, and others offer training programs. "This is a critical step," said Flexmar's Jack Bracco. "It's not that installation is difficult, it's simply that we want people to employ a repeated process. Installers who have been using epoxy or polyurethane have their own way of doing things. We are trying to standardize the process to assure success."
Step 1
Installation of a polyaspartic floor starts with floor preparation to rid the surface of laitance and contaminants. This is critical to success. The low-viscosity material must be able to penetrate the surface. Acid etching is not recommended, since it adds moisture to the concrete and the lower pH can lead to delamination problems. Most providers recommend a diamond grind at a 60 to 80 grit-just enough to get through the paste surface layer and open the pores of the concrete.The Stamp Store in Oklahoma City, OK
Step 2
Cracks and joints can then be repaired. Bracco recommends filling the cracks with sand then wetting the sand with polyurea. Polyureas cure so rapidly that these repairs can be ground flush with the concrete surface in about 20 minutes. "The polyaspartic has such great elongation properties that you simply install the coating right over the top of these repaired cracks without getting any reflection" said Bannister. Advantage's Harms notes that this does not include contraction joints. "We don't fill the joint, we coat down into it and back out, because if you tie the joint, it can crack the slab at mid-panel." Polyaspartic is usually mixed with equal amounts of Part A and Part B.

Step 3
At this point, the floor can be acid stained or colored with acrylic water-based stains. It should be noted that prior to sealing, a test area should be stained and sealed to assure proper adhesion and chemical interaction between the top coating and the stain. The installer should be looking for any areas where the stain may be interfering with the coating, or once cured, where the coating may be delaminating due to the stain. The installer then rolls on the recommended number of coats of polyaspartic. This is when you can see whether the coating is wetting--absorbing into the concrete. Different providers recommend different thicknesses for this primer coat and the one or two subsequent coats of polyaspartic. Bracco and Bannister recommend a 2 to 3 mil thick primer coat, while Harms goes with a 10-mil coat. "Bonding comes from two things," said Bracco, the surface profile and the ability to flow into the substrate. With polyaspartics we have a little extra time before it cross links, so it has time to absorb into the concrete." The primer coat and bed coat typically contain pigmet.

Step 4
Within an hour (or less) the primer has cured enough to walk on. For applications that incorporate vinyl chips or quartz sand, the second coat is then put down. For applications with color, both of these first two coats incorporate pigment. For acid stained floors, Bannister recommends stopping at two coats of clear polyaspartic. For floors with vinyl chips or quartz, that material is immediately broadcast into this "bed" layer. This layer varies from 2 mils to 18 mils thick, with the vinyl chips adding as much as 8 mils. "The chips wet out to form a laminar layer parallel to floor," said Bracco. "The ability to wet those chips is very important. Epoxy has a much higher viscosity, so the chips tend to lay on edge. Polyaspartics wet out the chips and they lay down to give you the laminar effect that helps in the overall protection of the concrete."
Step 5
Once the bed coat has cured, Harms recommends scraping the surface. "We scrape it hard with a floor scraper to clean up the vinyl chips. That makes it smoother and also reduces the amount of product needed in the top coat to cover the vinyl chips." Workers then vacuum up all loose materials before rolling on the top coat. The top coat is always clear and goes on in a range of 6 to 18 mils. Thinner coats are applied with 3/8-inch nap rollers and thicker coats with ¾-inch naps. Thinner coats leave a slight texture to the surface as some of the vinyl chips or quartz pokes through. Vinyl chips are broadcast until saturation.
Flexmar Coatings
This all results in final coating thicknesses from 11 to 40 mils. All of this can be accomplished in a single day. Typically, the new floor can be opened to foot traffic in 2 or 3 hours and can be driven on within 24 hours.

All the News the Big Guys Missed
By Amberin Zaman (VOA-Ankara)
Syria has expressed concern over a military cooperation agreement signed between Turkey and Israel. The Syrian Embassy here expressed its concern over an arrangement allowing the Israeli air force to train in Turkey.
The Syrian government said it hoped that Ankara would review the agreement and safeguard what it termed the historic relations between the Islamic people and the Arab states.
Turkey became the first Muslim country to open its air space and military bases to the Israeli air force for training purposes when Turkish officials signed a military cooperation accord in Tel Aviv in February.
Turkish defense officials say the use of Turkish airspace was granted to the Israelis in view of what they described as Israel's limited airspace.
Foreign observers say the leaking of the accord is clearly intended as a warning to Syria, which they say has been steadily strengthening military ties with Greece -- a claim Syria denies.
Relations between Ankara and Damascus have taken a further plunge following Syria's recent campaign to rally Arab support against Turkey over the sharing of the waters of the Euphrates River.
Damascus has long claimed Turkey's multi-billion dollar irrigation project in southeast Anatolia has jeopardized its supply of the river's waters on which it heavily depends. The project, known as the Gap, includes construction of 22 dams on the Euphrates.
Ankara says that because the river originates in Turkey, Damascus has no right to dictate how much water it should get.
By Paul Francuch (VOA-Chicago)
Albert Speer -- Hitler's "architect" and a powerful leader of the Third Reich -- escaped the gallows following the Nuremberg Trials but spent 20 years in Spandau prison after accepting guilt for his enormous crimes.
But Speer's stated knowledge of what murderous events happened when under the hand of Adolph Hitler remained vague -- purposefully vague, argues British journalist Gitta Sereny in her book "Albert Speer--His Battle with Truth," published in the US by Alfred A. Knopf. Sereny recently talked about her psychological probing of Speer during an interview in Chicago.
Sereny spent 12 years after Speer died in 1981 talking with those who knew him personally -- this after a series of probing interviews, telephone conversations and letters with Speer himself during the final few years of his life. It was a project, says Sereny, which Speer initiated after reading works by the respected journalist.
"And I didn't like him (laughs). I looked at him on TV and I thought, no this man is really ... just too smooth for me. And all these mea culpas I didn't believe. (And) there were so many interesting people in the world to see, to talk with. I just didn't want to see him."
In a process which seems somewhat like journalistic psychoanalysis, Sereny gradually dredged from Speer memories which he cleverly tried to hide. Eventually, she says, Speer revealed knowledge of Nazi murders against millions of Russian and Polish civilians. She is also convinced he knew much earlier than he previously admitted of what came to be called the "Final Solution" to exterminate the Jews.
"I tried throughout these conversations with Speer to get him to tell the truth, to admit what he had never admitted, which was that he had always known or had known for many years about Hitler's horrors. I'm not only speaking about the extermination of the Jews, but I'm speaking of other horrors which the Nazis committed -- you know, millions of murders of civilians in the East, which nobody ever speaks of, but they're extremely important in the whole context of the thing."
But while he knew more than he had ever publicly revealed, Sereny believes there were some Nazi crimes against humanity that he probably did not know about, nor certainly was directly involved in.
"Not involved, of course, directly. He was never directly involved in anything -- he gave orders from his desk in Berlin. But still, he travelled to these places. He saw things happening. The murder of the Jews in gas chambers he had absolutely nothing to do with -- literally. And I think that his knowledge there, really, was quite late and partial. I would in fact say ... It is quite possible that he never knew until (the) Nuremberg (trials) about the gas chambers."
Sereny spends considerable time in her lengthy book examining the close and complicated relationship Speer had with Hitler -- one which bordered on platonic love. She says Speer was one of many who succumbed to Hitler's messianic charms -- something even Sereny admits she felt as a young school girl in Vienna, when she attended a Nazi rally where Hitler spoke.
It was charisma that grew into evil seduction. Sereny says an important message she hopes her book will convey is that charisma in a politician should always be viewed as a potential danger.
"Charisma is an incredibly dangerous quality in statesmen, in politicians. And we need to be very, very careful of it."

This June, Americans across the country will commemorate their past with barbeques, baseball games, parades and speeches. Wait, June? These festivities may remind you of the Fourth of July but, two weeks before Independence Day, thousands of Americans will commemorate emancipation. June 19, or Juneteenth, honors the symbolic end to slavery in the United States, bringing new meaning to the American celebration of freedom and citizenship. As Juneteenth draws near and the nation continues to observe the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, it is important to understand the meaning of this powerful, unique American holiday.
The First Juneteenth
In February of 1861, a special convention in Texasa state that supported slaveryvoted to secede from the United States and become the 7th member of the newly formed Confederate States of America. For the next four years, the nation was engaged in a civil war that cost over 600,000 American lives (2% of the total American population.) During this war, the institution that had deprived generations of Africans and African Americans their freedom finally started to crumble. On January 1, 1863, United States President Abraham Lincolns stunning Emancipation Proclamation went into effect and declared that all enslaved people in rebellious territories were free. While this Proclamation gave millions of people their long-awaited liberty, thousands more remained enslaved until United States military forces could spread and enforce the Proclamation.
Texas, the westernmost member of the Confederacy, remained largely untouched by war and the Proclamation. Texas even served as a refuge for many slaveholders who fled the advance of United States armies in Louisiana and Mississippi. Escaping slaveholders forcibly relocated tens of thousands of enslaved people to Texas. This flight mimicked earlier migrations of slaveholders and slaves to Texas. When Texas became a state in 1845, many slaveowners from older southern states transferred their cotton production and plantations to Texas and took advantage of the vast amount of available land. Quickly, Texas agricultural production, hierarchy, and support of slavery closely resembled that of the rest of the Deep South. While wealthy slaveowners dominated society, enslaved people were legally, physically and emotionally regarded as property.
Even after C.S.A. General Robert E. Lees Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant in April of 1865, roughly 250,000 people still lived as slaves in Texas. Months after the Emancipation Proclamations author, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated, enslaved Texans were still largely unaware that the President had promised them freedom two years earlier. On June 19, that changed.
After remaining Confederate forces in Louisiana and Texas surrendered in May and June of 1865, the United States military appointed U.S. Major General Gordon Granger to take command of the Department of Texas. On June 19, Granger arrived in Galveston, a small island off the east coast of Texas, and read aloud General Order #3:
The people are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States [President Abraham Lincoln], all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor.
The order was confirmed the next day, when it was printed in the Galveston Tri-Weekly News. The Emancipation Proclamationand freedomhad reached Texas. The first Juneteenth celebration was born.
As the news of Emancipation spread, many newly freedpeople left Texas to find homes while otherssome by choice and some by forcestayed to work for their former masters. Austin Grant, who was a former slave outside of Gonzales, recalled the moment he heard of his freedom:
When the war finally was over, our old boss called us [slaves] all up and had us to stand in abreast, and he stood on the gallery and he read the verdict to em I guess when he said that they knew what he meant. The wasnt but one family left with im. They stayed about two years. But the rest was just like birds, they jes flew.
The road to freedom and citizenship in Texas was long and grueling, but June 19 was still a powerful symbol for African Americans. From that date on, the pursuit of equality and citizenship could begin.
150 Years of Juneteenth
Americans have celebrated Juneteenth for almost 150 years, but the holiday has witnessed a lot of change. Transformations in how Americans remembered the Civil War and slavery also shaped how Juneteenth was celebrated and recognized. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, racial segregation and white Southerners efforts to glorify the antebellum South hindered African-American efforts to celebrate Juneteenth. Despite this adversity, former slaves and their families strove to ensure that their struggle to achieve freedom was remembered and their victory, cherished. In the decades following emancipation, Juneteenth gave African Americans the unique opportunity to commemorate their ongoing quest for equal citizenship together.
In the 1930s and 40s, war, depression and racial violence continued to threaten Juneteenth celebrations. Historian Mitch Kachun believes one could argue this period offered no compelling reason for celebrating a freedom that had limited relevance for most African Americans day-to-day experiences of racial violence, discrimination and second-class citizenship. In 1943, for example, the Richmond Times Dispatch in Virginia reported that African Americans were asked by officials to attempt no Juneteenth celebrations due to recent riots in Texas. Despite the danger, Juneteenth celebrations refused to disappear and African-American Texans who left the state brought their Juneteenth traditions with them.
In the 1950s and 60s, racial tensions over the growing Civil Rights movement spilled into public debate over the how the 100th anniversary of the Civil War and emancipation should be commemorated. Historian David W. Blight argues that for the majority [of the American public], especially of white Americanseven as they watched TV images of civil rights marchers being clubbed by police and bitten by dogs in Birmingham, Alabamato claim the centrality of slavery and emancipation in Civil War memory was still an awkward kind of impoliteness at best and heresy at worst. For some white Southerners, the Civil War centennial was a way rebel against Civil Rights initiatives. The story of slavery and emancipation was ignored in favor of celebrating Confederate milestones and military bravery.
The complicated and conflicting public memories of the Civil War and slavery dampened public acceptance of Juneteenth and put potential participants safety at risk. While many African Americans continued to celebrate Juneteenth privately, public celebrations began to decline in the 1950s and 60s. While there were some significant efforts to commemorate emancipation in other ways, including events at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. and Lincolns tomb in Springfield, Illinois, they failed to gain the prominence of other Civil War anniversaries.
In such a turbulent time, some members of the African American community also felt uncertain about the personal meaning and symbolism of Juneteenth. In an interview for the Institute of Texan Cultures in 1993, Dallas native Sadye Gee recalled that she went from the '40s to the '60s with her [my daughter] not even being aware of Juneteenth I felt that it was demeaning, at that time it created some kind of anger in me But then when I reached a rude awakening – this is part of my heritage
By the 1970s, a renewed communal commitment to celebrating African American history and culture also produced a rejuvenated enthusiasm for Juneteenth. In 1968, major civil rights leaders organized a Poor Peoples March in Washington, D.C., gathering supporters from all over the country. Discouraged by their unsuccessful campaign at the end of June, participants received a boost in morale when Texans among them suggested a Juneteenth celebration. Juneteenth was brought to national prominence as these participants brought Juneteenth traditions home with them. In 1979, Texas made Juneteenth an official state holiday.
Support for Juneteenth continued to soar into the 1990s. The posthumous publication of Ralph Ellisons Juneteenth in 1999 and the appearance of groups dedicated to making Juneteenth an official national holiday increased the holidays prominence. Following Texas lead, 41 states and Washington, D.C. now host some form of Juneteenth celebration. The National Juneteenth Holiday campaign by the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation is one of many continuing efforts to make Juneteenth a nationally recognized holiday.
While Juneteenth is celebrated across the nation, Juneteenth is also an intensely personal event. Its traditions are vibrant, but extremely varied. Juneteenth in Galveston, Texasone of the nations largest Juneteenth celebrations and the home of the first Juneteenthwill honor many of these traditions throughout the month of June.
Public demonstrations of celebration, community and citizenship are critical traditions in Juneteenth celebrations. Segregation and racial violence haunted Juneteenth celebrations for decades so African American celebrants often struggled to find safe public spaces for festivities. As historian Elizabeth Hayes Turner states, public space became a mighty ingredient in the forming of Juneteenth memories. African Americans set out to acquire, or even buy, land for their celebrations. Emancipation parks for Juneteenth celebration began to appear across Texas. In 1872, Reverend Jack Yates led a community-wide effort to purchase land for Juneteenth in Houston. These efforts created Emancipation Park, which continues to be a prominent public park whereamong other activitiesJuneteenth is still celebrated. In 1909, a similar committee led a public effort to create an Emancipation Park for Juneteenth festivities in Austin.
In Galveston, many of the Juneteenth celebrations will take place in Jack Johnson Park. Dedicated in 2012, the park demonstrates a continued commitment to celebrating African American history on Juneteenth in a cherished community space. The parks namesake, Jack Johnson, was a Galveston native and athlete who became the first African American to win the Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1908.
Spiritual fellowship played a powerful role in many African American communities both during slavery and after emancipation. Religious services, prayers, and hymns have always had a prominent place in Juneteenth observances. As Turner states, from the beginning, Freedom Day celebrations included church services in which preachers and educators reminded freedpeople of the sacred solemnity of the occasion, of their duty as emerging citizens, and of their profound right to the pursuit of legal equality. In 1892, a reverend in Austin noted that the 19th comes on Sunday not Saturday or Monday, so lets celebrate it in praises and thanksgiving to God and it created a program that would give thanks to God for our freedom all day long.
Musical traditions at Juneteenth do not stop at spirituals and hymns. Music and dance were crucial to early Juneteenth celebrations. Festivities often included singing patriotic songs, like the national anthem, or abolitionist songs. At a Juneteenth celebration in Kansas in 1895, the Parsons Weekly Blade reported that attendees sang Hold the Fort and John Browns Body together before listening to a presentation on the history of Juneteenth.
Modern Juneteenth celebrants often enjoy jazz, blues, zydeco or other various genres that memorialize African American contributions to music. Zydeco is a distinctive musical style that evolved out of Creole communities in Louisiana and Texas, so it is especially linked to many Juneteenth celebrations. Popular zydeco artist CJ Chenier performed in Houston in 2013 for Juneteenth, and you can hear his performanceprominently featuring instruments such as the washboard and the accordionat the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. . Over the past three decades, Houston has also hosted a variety of prominent blues musicians, like Lightnin Hopkins and Albert Collins, in honor of Juneteenth.
Multitudes of other local and national artists have contributed to the musical commemorations on Juneteenth. In 1982, the Big Budweiser Superfest headlined by Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones, called the worlds number one rhythm and blues music festival by the Chicago Metro News, played the Cotton Bowl for the Dallas Juneteenth celebration.
Regardless of age, race, religion or ethnicity, food has long been a familiar componentif not a focal pointon holidays. For many African Americans, Juneteenth is a special opportunity to celebrate the unique and monumental contributions enslaved people made to American cuisine. Many of the dishes associated with southern or soul foodsuch as barbeque, gumbo and okrahave direct African influences. (Look for U.S. History Scenes upcoming posts on the history of some of the most beloved Southern dishes!)
Picnics, potlucks, cooking competitions, and other events that demonstrate communities culinary heritage are central to Juneteenth festivities. In an interview with the Institute of Texan Cultures in 1993, Lorraine OBanion described celebrating Juneteenth as a child in Brenham, Texas where people would come from miles and miles around…And there was barbecue and all kinds of food and, ah, pop and things. Numerous blogs, articles and cookbooks recommend a variety of dishes and drinks for Juneteenth that have become popular, including barbeque, strawberry soda, red rice, and cakes. Popular chefs, such as Kitchen Diva Angela Shelf Medearis, have contributed to the growing tableau of foods enjoyed on Juneteenth.
Galveston will host its annual Annie Mae Charles Juneteenth Picnic on June 19 and continue the tradition of food, family and homage.
A National Event
In a few weeks, families, friends and communities all over the United States will come together to simultaneously honor the generations who struggled in slavery and draw joy from its defeat. Almost 150 years later, Americans continue to be inspired by the men and women who finally experienced their moment of liberty on that June day in Texas. Author Kenneth C. Davis puts it this way:
lets remember Juneteenth, the holiday that doesnt mark a document, a battle, a birthday or a national tragedy, but the fundamental promise of America being more completely realizedthe day on which Thomas Jeffersons rousing rhetoric finally rang true throughout America, for all Americans.

Head injuries, even seemingly minor injuries, can cause long-term damage. Up until recently, doctors have had difficulty identifying the precise regions of the brain damaged by minor traumatic brain injuries. New research, however, indicates that the use of magnetic resonance imaging technology can help doctors understand which parts of the brain are affected by these types of injuries. This insight may help patients get faster, more effective care, which in turn could lead to shorter recovery times.
Experts estimate that just under two million Americans suffer traumatic brain injuries each year. For those who suffer mild concussions, one of the most common complaints is vestibulopathy. This condition causes not only dizziness but also problems with vision and balance. This is a significant problem because it can render patients prone to secondary injury.
Researchers, who published the findings from their study in the most recent issue of the journal Radiology, used diffusion tensor imaging, a specific MRI technique, to pinpoint the parts of the brain affected by vestibulopathy. They discovered that several parts of the brain - including areas controlling balance and areas controlling vision - were affected in cases of mild concussion. Previously, doctors believed that vestibulopathy primarily affected structures in patients' inner ears. MRI data indicates that the truth is much more complicated.
The good news is that this MRI technique may play an important role in helping doctors to diagnose and treat those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries. For example, MRIs might be used in conjunction with cognitive testing to measure a patient's recovery progress. If imaging data indicates that a patient is not making progress, doctors could change their approach in order to get better results.
The reality is that the brain is a complex organ that responds to injury in ways that are sometimes difficult to predict. As researchers have gained a better understanding of traumatic brain injuries in recent years, it is becoming clearer that a cookie cutter, one size fits all treatment approach is not likely to work. The more that doctors are able to tailor treatment regimens to the needs of individual patients, the more successful these treatments will be. Studies such as this one offer important insight into how doctors can use technology to achieve better patient outcomes.
Suffering a traumatic brain injury, no matter the cause can be devastating. To learn more about your legal rights, schedule a consultation with a personal injury attorney today.

Abductors of Kano legislator's mother demand N50m ransom
Unknown gunmen who kidnapped Hajia Hafsat Abubakar, mother of member, representing Doguwa constituency in Kano State House of Assembly Alhaji Salisu Ibrahim Muhammad Riruwe, have made contacts with the family, demanding payment of N50 million ransom.
Hajia Hafsat was kidnapped in her home at Riruwe village about 150 kilometers to Kano on Saturday evening.
The District Head of Doguwa, Alhaji Aliyu Harazumi, has meanwhile blamed the insecurity in the area on the sudden withdrawal of policemen from Falgore forest.
The forest is notorious for activities of cattle rustlers in recent times.
Confirming the development to journalists Monday, Salisu Riruwe said his mother was kidnapped by some hoodlums who stormed his residence at Riruwe village near Falgore forest Saturday night and took away his aged mother.
The Chairman House Committee on Information hinted that the abductors had since contacted the family demanding N50 million ransom before the woman would be released.
According to Salisu " I got a phone call from home that our mother has been kidnapped. Few minute after that I received another phone call from a strange number. The person identified himself as the kidnapper. He confirmed to me that my mother has been abducted. He told me I have to pay a sum of N50 million before they release the old woman."

Hear that sound? It's the clock ticking down the number of shopping days left till Christmas. Luckily, Alberta's mix of mountain boutiques, small-town antique shops and urban malls has got you covered. Here are five southern Alberta shopping districts not to miss on your quest for the perfect gift.
Chinook Centre
With 250 stores, Calgary's busiest mall is a one-stop shopping experience for every budget, and for everyone in the family. Peruse top brands at Kate Spade, Tory Burch and Tiffany's, find the latest fashions at Aritzia, Free People and Nordstrom, or seek out a gift that's pure Canadiana, such as a striped point blanket or toque from the HBC Collection at Hudson's Bay. When you're all shopped out, stop for lunch at one of seven restaurants, catch a movie at the 17-screen Cineplex or let the kids ride the carousel in the bright, bustling food court.
Historic Inglewood
Calgary's oldest community also happens to be one of the city's hottest shopping districts. The historic brick buildings that line Inglewood's main street (Ninth Avenue) now house modern shops that sell everything from art to spices. While there are on-trend clothes at Espy, Purr and other boutiques, and designer duds at Lauren Bagliore, you'll find unique oddities as well. Pop in to Kent of Inglewood for hipster shaving supplies, Knifewear for beautiful Japanese utensils, Nerd for retro roller skates or Bamboo Ballroom for vintage bar wares such as crystal decanters and scotch tumblers. Afterward, unwind with a craft cocktail at The Nash.
Nanton's memory lane
Picturesque Nanton, with its brick buildings and grain elevators, is just a 45-minute drive south of Calgary. Visitors come for its history and to shop for historic relics. Nanton has earned a reputation for antiques. You'll find everything from pioneer-era furniture to vintage taxidermy at Sentimental Journey Antiques, located inside a 9,000- sq ft heritage building. Look for grandfather clocks at Antiques N' Things, and curios and collectibles such as fine china and old radios at Lost Ark Antiques and Nostalgia Antiques. Reward yourself with a stop at The Candy store, where you can load up on sentimental treats like Nerds and candy necklaces.
Canmore for landscape-inspired gifts
Canmore, just an hour's drive west of Calgary, is popular for its mountain location. But this hip destination also has a thriving arts scene and is a fun place to spend an afternoon window shopping. At Fallen Leaf Art Gallery you'll find works by local artists that were inspired by Alberta's prairie and peak landscapes. Check out the Canmore Mountain Market on Thursdays for "postcard clothing" by Adrienne M—dresses and leggings emblazoned with pictures of trees, lakes and mountains. The Tin Box has funky items, from kid-friendly chopsticks to chocolates perfect for wine pairings. Finally, grab a seat at Grizzly Paw Brewing for a craft beer (and a Wish You Were Beer T-shirt!).
Get outfitted in Banff
Banff's proximity to the peaks makes it the perfect place to outfit that special someone for outdoor adventures. Start your shopping spree at Monod's Sports, a locally owned store that carries ski gear and outdoor clothing brands such as Canada Goose, Sorel and Dale of Norway. Check out the goods at Soul Ski and Bike, and Ultimate Ski and Ride, for more gear and stylish clothing options. For a Canadiana-inspired gift, browse the Banff Indian Trading Post to find everything from mukluks, which are traditional Indigenous boots made of animal skin and fur, to moccasins, old-fashioned Huron snowshoes and fur hats.

The rising cost of funerals
Since 2004 the average cost of a funeral in the UK has risen by an astonishing +130%. This has increased the average cost to well over £4,000[1].
Unfortunately, without putting the right provisions in place, the responsibility of paying for your funeral falls to your loved ones.
According to a recent SunLife report, only 63% of people had put financial provisions in place to pay for their funeral.
Of these, only 64% made provisions that were enough to cover the cost of the whole funeral.
This means that for 69%, their families are often left having to foot all or some of the bill[2].
To cover these expenses, many people have to borrow money, sell belongings, use personal savings or even take out a loan.
An accessible, popular and cost-effective solution is to take out a prepaid funeral plan.
Compare Funeral Plans » Find The Best Deal
Putting adequate cover in place
A prepaid funeral plan allows you to cover the cost of your funeral, locking in today's prices and avoiding rising costs.
By 2036 funeral costs are projected to have risen to £12,749, up from £1,920 in 2004.[3]
Taking out a funeral plan ensures that when your time comes, you do not have to pass the financial burden on to your family.
The plan will also allow you to decide on the details of the ceremony, negating the stress on your family from having to make arrangements at an already difficult time.
Less than 1 in 5 people have told anyone what they would want from their funeral.[2]
Unlike life insurance, funeral plans do not require 'acceptance', meaning that they can be taken out by anybody regardless of health or age.
Therefore, if you are in later life or in poor health and unable to secure life cover, taking out a funeral plan is a good way of ensuring your family are protected.
Best price guarantee*
At Reassured we offer a best price guarantee on all like for like quotes.
Simply provide us with the quote for your chosen funeral plan and we will match it.
Contact us to start your journey towards securing your funeral at today's rates.
Payment of funeral plans
There are various different levels of plan and payment methods available to suit your budget and taste.
Different tiers of funeral plan vary on the service and additional aspects you would like the plan to cover.
These range from:
- A simple funeral package which comprises of a basic wood coffin, restricted visitation to the chapel of rest and no transportation for your loved ones to attend your ceremony, to
- A gold package including a superior wood veneer coffin, visitation to the chapel of rest at any time and two limousines for your loved ones to attend your ceremony.
The plan chosen will obviously determine the amount you pay.
Payment options include:
- A simple one-off payment
- A one-off deposit followed by 12 interest-free monthly payments
- An instalment payment plan requiring smaller payment amounts over a period of 2-25 years
(Please note, the instalment payment plan does incur interest).
Dying before your funeral plan is paid
All funeral plans provided by Reassured will provide all of the services detailed within your selected plan even if you pass away before all instalments have been paid.
Providing all payments are up to date and your plan has been in place for at least 12 months, the remaining balance of your funeral plan will be covered.
All of the services within your plan will be delivered and your family will not be required to pay another penny.

Life insurance vs a funeral plan
Frequently the terms 'funeral plan' and 'life insurance' are used interchangeably, however, they are significantly different products – each with benefits.
The main benefit of a funeral plan is that it allows you to pay for your funeral at today's rate.
The money is paid directly to the funeral director and all that is required of your loved ones is a phone call to your chosen funeral parlour.
Read our blog post on the pros and cons of a funeral plan »
Life insurance on the other hand commonly provides a much higher level of cover.
Upon your death, your loved ones are provided with a lump sum pay out. This sum can then be used by your beneficiaries as they wish.
Common uses of a life insurance pay out include full mortgage repayment, clearing outstanding debts, meeting future living costs and providing an inheritance.
Whilst the sum from a life insurance policy can also be used to cover the cost of a funeral, it will mean that your funeral will cost the going rate at the time of death.
Not necessarily a funeral plan or a life policy
Taking out a funeral plan and life insurance policy simultaneously can mean securing the cost of your funeral at today's prices, whilst also providing your family with a cash lump sum.
Obviously, this full life/funeral insurance solution is subject to your available budget. Remember, as you approach retirement your available budget is likely to change, so consider your long-term plan.
As the UK's largest life insurance broker, we are able to provide you with both funeral plan and life insurance quotes to suit your needs and budget.
What's more, our award-winning brokerage service is completely free to use!

Through my work as a divorce consultant, as see my role as not just to provide help with the practical side of the divorce process but also to provide much needed support through this difficult time in my clients' lives.
As such, I talk a great deal to them about the importance of taking good care of themselves.
It is always important to take good care of ourselves and this is particularly the case during the more challenging times in our lives. I can often be heard telling my divorce clients to "be kind to yourself".
What is self-care?
I love Jayne Hardy's definition(Jayne is the founder of the Blurt Foundation and author of the Self Care Project) –
"Self-care is about consciously taking responsibility for your happiness; your physical, emotional, psychological and social needs. And doing everything you can to ensure you feel fulfilled in those areas".
It means something different to everyone. We all have different needs. Only you will know what it means to you. Different activities are different for each of us. Going out for a boozy night with friends to let off some steam may be just the job for one person whilst another person may prefer a quiet night in with a bubble bath whilst reading a good book.
It is important not to compare ourselves to others. We are all individuals with our own individual needs.
Also, as we grow older and/or our lives change, what we feel is self care for us may also change. You may have developed different self care "needs". You may not feel the same way about activities you used to enjoy 5-10yrs ago. That's fine. Understand who you are now and identify what you enjoy now.
Why is self care important?
"The absence of self care is self-neglect." – Jayne Hardy
Our lives are so busy. Technology means everyone and everything is at our finger tips 24/7 and if we're not careful we can end up being constantly on the go with very little down time.
When we put ourselves first, we are then better able to give to others. When we put our needs first, it has a positive effect on everything else – our health, our relationships, our resilience, our work etc.
If we neglect our self care we risk our life becoming out of balance and we could become ill. Self care involves looking after our mental, emotional and physical needs. Only we can look after ourselves properly.
Self care allows us to be the best version of ourselves and in turn we are in the best position to help others. But choose to do it for yourself. Show yourself the love and respect you show others all the time. You are important. You are worthy. You are enough. Love yourself.

Asus introduced its pixel master camera in 2013 in Asus Padfone infinity and then its enhanced version in the first generation zenfone series(zenfone 4,5,6) in 2014 and now in its new zenfone 2 series the camera is now more upgrade than previous generation devices in both software and hardware aspects.
the Asus zenfone 2 ZE550ML/ZE551ML both comes with same camera hardware supporting a 13 MP camera with f2.0 Aperature for better low light capturing and is equipped by BSI sensor for good low light capturing and supports a 5 elemental lens for crisp and noise free image capturing. today we are going to give you Asus zenfone 2 camera review with sample images starting from below.
Table of Contents
- 1 ASUS ZENFONE 2 : Auto and HDR Mode comparison
- 2 Pixel Master low light mode
- 3 ASUS ZENFONE 2 camera samples 10MP (16:9 Aspect Ratio)
- 4 Final Verdict
ASUS ZENFONE 2 : Auto and HDR Mode comparison
the previous zenfone series HDR do not have much effect on the image quality but this time it can be noticed that how good the Asus zenfones 2 camera performs in the HDR (backlight) mode and also Asus also said that it has the best HDR and Auto mode among other flagship devices as you can see in the above image.
Samples Images :
Click on the Images for Zoom up Auto and HDR
Click on the Images for Zoom up Auto and HDR
from the above samples you can easily see that Asus had done a great job in capturing good images in both HDR and Auto mode and it can also be seen that in HDR mode the camera had improved then the camera of previous generation zenfone.
Pixel Master low light mode
the most famous thing about the pixel master camera which the Asus brags about is its special pixel merging technology in its pixel master camera which provides 400% brighter images and color contrast up to 200% more with the help of its software , hardware and optical design . this technology stands up to the mark and it really helps in better images in extreme low light conditions in which no other smartphones can do so . it is only possible due to Asus pixel master optical design which made possible for the light receptors to merge to catch more light but the only issue is that the image produced depends in MegaPixel count i.e a 5MP camera produces 1MP image,8MP cam produces 2MP image and in the case of zenfone 2 13MP camera it produces 3MP image.
Sample Images in Low Light Mode:
from the above images you can easily see the performance of the special low light mode of the pixel master camera introduced by Asus and it really stands up to the pixel master camera motto "SEE WHAT OTHERS CAN'T SEE"
ASUS ZENFONE 2 camera samples 10MP (16:9 Aspect Ratio)
Depth of Field
Indoor image with artificial lighting
Outdoor shoots
Outdoor image in low light (13MP,4:3 aspect ratio)
Outdoor shoot 13 MP(4:3 aspect ratio)
from the above images you can see that the Asus zenfone 2 13 MP rear camera had done a great job capturing images with both good details and colour production , there were some noise in the indoor shots but they still came out to be very good and special the DOF shoot was very great.
Front camera images 5 MP (4:3 Aspect Ratio)
the front camera performed well and its a good thing that the zenfone 2 front cam supports the low light mode which can be good for selfie lovers who can take selfies in extreme low light conditions
Final Verdict
both the rear and front pixel master cameras stands up to the mark and have done a great job . the images taken in outdoor were great and have good amount of detailing with minimum noise in the outdoor shots the noise levels were not too much but are visible also the low light mode is a good addition and works great for capturing images in extreme low light conditions .
There are several modes in the software like the selfie mode,beautification,DOF but the most useful ones i liked was the manual mode which helps you to adjust settings like ISO, exposure,shutter speed, white balance . the zenfone two also supports an ultra resolution mode which captures 4 images of object from its 13 MP cam and stitch them together to form a single 52 MP image with high details so you can crop them easily.

We're talking about one of the best selling bands in history on this episode. I had the privilege to see U2 recently on BOTH nights they were in town for their "eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE" tour. So join me as I recap my "eXPERIENCE" and just my history and opinion of the band itself. It might sound 'better than the real thing" *wink wink*. I also start the episode by giving my take on the recent passing of rapper XXXTENTACION and some of this past week's recent music releases.

Freedom and Virtue
Men cannot be forced to be free, nor can they even be forced to be virtuous. To a certain extent, it is true, they can be forced to act as though they were virtuous. But virtue is the fruit of well-used freedom. And no act to the degree that it is coerced can partake of virtue — or of vice. (Frank S. Meyer, In Defense of Freedom, Chicago 1962, p. 66). If I am forced by the state to assist the poor, my actions have very little moral value.

Oxygen Pools Sales FAQ
How Does Ozone Oxidize Contaminants In Water?
An Oxygen Pool uses ozone (O3 oxygen) based technology to quickly oxidize contaminants in pool water. Oxygen is the original oxidizer…..we simply oxidize differently, by using different forms of oxygen, which is non toxic to humans in water and to the environment. Here's how it works:
Organic contaminants maintain their shape with a cell wall.
O3 molecules make contact with the cell wall and create a hole in the wall
The cell wall is broken down quickly by O3 molecules.
The cell loses its shape as O3 continues to create holes in the cell wall.
In a few seconds, the cell cannot maintain its shape and the cell dies.
Is the Installation easy?
Yes, the Oxygen Generator has the fitting for installing with flex hose or hard PVC plumbing in the box. The only additional tool is a flat head screw driver and PVC glue to attached the fittings to the manifold. Once installed, the 20,000 gallon Oxygen Generator plugs into any GFCI 110 volt outdoor outlet or, for the larger 40,000 gallon units, hard wired to a GFCI breaker/automation.
Do I need a special pump and filter to run the system?
Any pool pump and filter from 3/4 to 1 1/2 HP or any variable speed pump will work to add ozone to the water as it passes through.
How Long should I run the system?
12 hours a day during daylight hours is recommended. The longer that ozone is added to the water, the better it works. Continuous use produces the best results.
Does the Generator need to be plugged into a timer?
It's preferable to use a timer with the generator, although it can stay plugged in while the pump comes on and off. If you are using a timer for the pump to come on and off, just make sure it is set to run at least 12 hours a day , during daylight hours.
Remember, ozone is added to pool water only when the generator is on and water is running through it because the pump is on.
Can I use the system on pools larger than 40,000 Gallons or on public pools?
There are two models of Oxygen generators. The smaller model has been tested and formulated to run on residential aboveground pools up to 20,000 gallons.
The larger generator is designed for use on residential inground pools up to 40,000 gallons. 90% of all residential pools are less than 40,000 gallons.
To quickly calculate the number of gallons in your pool, go to www.poolchemicalcalculator.com for a fast and easy estimate.
Oxygen Pools products are designed for use on residential pools only.
Can I use a solar cover or an automatic cover with the system? How about indoor pools?
Yes, Solar Covers can be used with an Oxygen Pool.
It is not recommended to use the Oxygen Generator with an automatic pool cover or in an indoor pool environment. Although a relatively small amount of ozone is added, it should be vented to open air rather than be contained under an airtight cover or in an enclosed room.
Will I need any additional chemicals with an Oxygen Pools system?
The system will take care of oxidation requirements and provide a residual level of peroxide. Shocking the pool weekly once weekly provides other protections against cloudy or green water. Our Blended Weekly Additive simplifies treatment so you don't need to buy and add numerous other chemicals.
Chemicals may be needed are for balancing pH and alkalinity. During unusual conditions, if the water temperature is above 85 F for extended periods or for high bather loads, chlorine can be added to supplement regular oxygen treatments.
Are there any chemicals that are not compatible in an Oxygen Pool?
Most chemicals like, chlorine, mineral systems, salt chlorine generators, and ionizers are compatible in an Oxygen Pool. Except for unusual situations, it is not necessary to use additional oxidizers.
Do not use with biguanides such as Bacquacil, Revacil, SoftSwim, etc. These chemicals require removal before using any other chemicals in the water. We would be happy to provide you with with the conversion process to remove those chemicals from your pool. Download…. How To Convert from Biquanides to an Oxygen Pool

Lisa 2019-08-20 Today - 20.08.19 - I went into store with my 2 boys for school shoes. My eldest has ADHD and ASD so shopping can be very stressful and frustrating all round, but this wasn't the case today! We were served by a lovely lady called Lydia who was so kind, patient and understanding which made our experience less difficult. She is a true credit to your store and will definitely return with my children in the future. Thank you!View More

Republican lawmakers who are unhappy with the perceived "executive overreach" of the Obama administration are forming a new task force to find "legislative solutions" to challenge the president's power — and they picked a telling lawmaker to lead the effort. Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a passionate anti-immigrant hardliner, will serve as chairman.
The task force will conduct hearings and investigations "relating to separation of powers and executive overreach issues," according to the resolution approved on a voice vote on Wednesday. It's unclear which of President Obama's executive actions the task force will focus on, but immigration policies will probably feature prominently.
Ever since Obama took executive action in 2012 to grant temporary deportation relief to certain undocumented immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, House Republicans have accused him of executive overreach, holding several hearings on the matter. In a recent op-ed in USA Today, for instance, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) lamented that Obama "essentially stopped the enforcement of our immigration laws, provided quasi-legal status to unlawful immigrants."
King's choice as the chairman could prove troubling for the direction of the task force. The Iowa lawmaker has a particularly virulently vocal anti-immigrant history, a fact that may have contributed to him being passed over for ranking Republican committee spots in the past.
Here are just six examples that show King may not by suitable as the chairman.
1. That time King said to treat people that cross the border like "livestock."
In 2006, King took to the House floor with a model of a concrete border fence for the U.S. border with Mexico. He said that the United States should electrify the wire with a current that couldn't kill, but could hurt people. "It would simply be a discouragement for them to be fooling around with it," King said. "We do that with livestock all the time."
2. That time King defended racial profiling as "common sense."
After Arizona enacted an anti-immigration law in 2010 known as SB1070, which would allow law enforcement officials to racially profile suspected undocumented immigrants, King defended the policy. He said it was a "common sense thing" for law enforcement to use "indicators" like "what kind of clothes people wear, what kind of shoes people wear, what kind of accents they have, the type of grooming they might have… sometimes it's just a sixth sense that they can't put their fingers on."
3. That time King compared immigrants to dogs.
During an event in 2012, King said that the United States should pick the best immigrants in much the same way that people choose the "pick of the litter" when it comes to choosing dogs.
"You want a good bird dog?" he said. "You want one that's going to be aggressive? Pick the one that's the friskiest … not the one that's over there sleeping in the corner."
He added, "You get the pick of the litter and you got yourself a pretty good bird dog. Well, we've got the pick of every donor civilization on the planet. We've got the vigor from the planet to come to America."
4. That time King said that undocumented immigrants coming across the border have "cantaloupe calves" because they are "drug mules."
During an interview with NewsMax in 2013, King claimed that in addition to undocumented immigrants who were brought into the country as young children, there were also "drug mules" coming across the border with "calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."
5. That time King said Latinos come from a "violent civilization."
During a Tea Party rally against immigration reform in 2013, King said that bringing "people from a violent civilization into a less-violent civilization" would beget "more violence."
6. That time King said that he was just "as Hispanic and Latino" as a Latino congressman.
When United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro went on MSNBC last year to say that the Republican party would need Latino voters to win the election in 2016, King tweeted, "What does Julian Castro know? Does he know that I'm as Hispanic and Latino as he?"

Here's another new post for you guys on this rainy Tuesday, so what's new to report before Halloween weekend? Mostly some new LOCAL CONCERT ALERTS (one on SHORT NOTICE), but there's also a new video and a lineup addition to take note of, which you can do below!
Tym Morrison will return to Mark's Breakfast Plus for a special mid-week matinee concert TOMORROW NIGHT! Apologies for the short notice, this show was announced one week ago via it's official Facebook event page, but we didn't have time to slide it into a post before it got too soon to cover it twice. Yes, this is a Wednesday nighter, which may sound odd for his constant stream of solo gigs, but remember that his prior shows at the Market Mall restaurant were on Monday and Tuesday evenings, so non-weekend gigs there appear to be the norm. In any event, if you want some hard rocking music at dinner-time, you have a west end option at the former Kackleberry's TOMORROW, with Gliss shows to follow! This one has a 6:00 PM start time with no announced cover charge or age limit. See above for more details, and here's Tym live a few years back!
Doors & Fours, who will headline at The Algonquin Pub on Saturday, November 11th! If this band rings a bell, it may be from local punk/metal quintet Jack Spades playing with them and past local headliners Big Brother in Hamilton back on July 11th, so prepare for a local encore four months later as Doors & Fours hit the midpoint of the ongoing Canadian tour! These guys have a solid and distorted sound that definitely has that early 90s grunge vibe while still containing heavier stretches, and they should be well received here next month! The aforementioned Jack Spades will return the favour as openers in 2½ weeks for their own exlposive original attack, while at least one more opening band is to be announced. Promoted by Jack Spades frontman J.D. Pearce, a cover charge has yet to be announced for this 19+ show, which takes place at 9:00 PM. Visit the official Facebook event page for details, and stay tuned for updates!
Finally for today's new show announcements, local indie/hard rock quartet Vol. will return to the stage on Friday, November 17th when they are among the openers for the return of Saskatchewan southern rockers Johnny 2 Fingers & The Deformities at LopLops Lounge! This will be Vol.'s first show since next week's Special Ops concert (more on that in the coming days), while it will also be their third with their teased fourth band member, that being keyboardist Mikaela Murtonen, who debuted at this weekend's Dirtfight concert, and was a prior bandmate of bassist Shane Storozuk's in the band Aldous. No media is online of the expanded lineup yet, but it will be interesting to hear how Mikaela fits in with Vol.! As for the rest of the performers, headliners Johnny 2 Fingers & The Deformities will be making their third local concert appearance, after previously playing here twice last fall (once at LopLops), so look for more southern fried boogie rock from them on the 17th! Montreal alt-folk rock quintet The Union Thugs will also hit the Soo for this concert, so prepare for some accordion-infused rock from them!
Local folk solo project Shit Creek Survivor will also open this one next month, and it's nice to see Jacob staying busy in the lead-up to his own album release! Promoted by Six, Two, Oh., this 19+ concert has a 9:00 PM start time, and while there is no advertised cover charge, last year's Deformities show at LopLops had a $5 cover. This should be a fun concert with a nice variance of sounds from the four scheduled acts, so visit the official Facebook event page for current and continuing updates!
To end this post, here's a surprise: A new solo peformance video from former ApocalyptiCDistroyeR frontman Jesse Middaugh! 3½ years removed from his last video upload on his/the band's YouTube channel (and just the second performance video there since 2012), Jesse posted this video of him performing a new original instrumental on Thursday, and while the video is incredibly grainy, it has a good rhythm to it that would be interesting to hear filled out! ApocalyptiCDistroyeR were not cited in the title or description, so I won't consider them active again on the SMS (yet?), but give Jesse's new video a look below, and watch closely for a cameo from a cat!
That's all for today, but stay tuned for Halloween weekend concert previews and more soon! Thanks everyone!
