Outcome required
The outcome required by the Health and Disability Services Standards.
Found at audit
The issue that was found when the rest home was audited.
Action required
The action necessary to fix the issue, as decided by the auditor.
Risk level
Whether the required outcome was partially attained (PA) or unattained (UA), and what the risk level of the issue is.
The outcome is partially attained when:

- moderate – this issue requires a negotiated plan in order to fix the issue within a specific and agreed time frame, such as six months.
- high – this issue requires a negotiated plan in order to fix the issue within one month or as agreed between the service and auditor.

For many of us winter is synonymous with sickness and sneezing, and spending the middle of the year red-nosed and with scratchy throats. So, as we head into the cooler months, it's time to start thinking about the dreaded cold and flu season and how to avoid getting sick this winter.
To help you, Pharmacy 4 Less have compiled a list of six easy steps to integrate into your daily routine, to help dodge a cough:
- What goes in
What you eat and drink has a significant effect on your health. Be mindful of what you're putting into your body and be looking to strengthen your immune system with good food. Eat seasonal fruits for necessary vitamins. Apples and berries are in season for Autumn. Greek yoghurt and sauerkraut do wonders to ward off sickness with their high probiotic levels. With cooler days come warmer drinks, so sip on some green tea that helps ward off the flu.
- Move your body
With the weather cooling down it's a great time to start a new fitness program. Working out strengthens your immune system and can ease congestion in your nasal passage if it's blocked. Try to exercise outdoors to breathe in some fresh air, as well as soaking in some sunshine for a vitamin D boost.
- Head to bed
Sleep is the best remedy for sickness. Prioritise a good night's sleep and try to get around 8 hours of rest each night. This gives your body a chance to rejuvenate and strengthen your immune system. It's also a great excuse to never leave your blanket burrito!
- A little boost
Our diets are often low in essential vitamins and probiotics which are key in maintaining strong immunity and a healthy digestive system. There are a multitude of vitamins, antioxidants and supplements that can give your body an extra kick of health. Support your immune system by taking tablets that have probiotics, vitamin C and rosehip,omega-3 or eucalyptus. Visit your local Pharmacy 4 Less store to pick up an extra boost to fight off a cold.
- Ease your mind
Stress lowers your immunity and allows you to be more susceptible to sickness. Take time to manage your stress by meditating, relaxing and overall practicing self care
- Clean hands
Germs are easily spread by your hands. To avoid getting sick, try to keep your hands to yourself, especially with someone who is already unwell. Wash your hands often and carry around a hand sanitiser to keep your hands fresh.

Can't sleep, huh?
Nervous that I'm gonna find you again?
Rip through your body,
inflict inconceivable pain!
There's a suspicion creeping up,
come aboard the worry train.
Thought you were fine?
Maybe you're going inane?
I'm laying dormant,
fuck your health, I'm coming to claim.
You let your guard down, been here before,
you've only yourself to blame!
Thought you could live a normal life?
Make someone a wonderful wife?
Forgot the crippling pain and strife,
your body's tearing, here take the knife!
I slide along your renewed shell,
no more can you be in control.
Decend this woman back to hell,
rising up from within your soul.
Am I back?
Theres only one way to know.
Have we accumulated inside you?
Does your poison over flow?
Think of me as you lay in bed.
Keep me burried in your head.
Shush, don't cry, please take youre meds.
No more sickness, I just see red!

Academic journal article The Science Teacher
Benjamin Franklin Probes the Heavens
Article excerpt
What are the best tools for gathering information about the natural world? Today's scientists might say electronic probes or other advanced instruments. For Benjamin Franklin, the best tools were a few metal objects, a silk handkerchief, and a length of string.
Like many scientists of his era, Franklin did not work in a purpose-built laboratory. When not occupied working as an author, printer, and public official, he often devised his own equipment from materials found at hand.
Franklin's best-known experiment took place on a rainy afternoon in 1752, when he used a kite made from a handkerchief, two strips of wood, and a length of wire to probe the skies over Philadelphia for confirmation of his theory that thunderclouds are electrified. He found that, when the clouds passed over the kite, electricity was drawn to the wire, and what he later described as "electric fire" passed down the wet kite string to a metal key tied near his hand. There, it streamed out "plentifully" at the approach of his knuckle.
The tireless polymath also brought experiments into his own home. To study electrical conductivity, Franklin affixed a pointed metal rod to his chimney and ran a wire into the house through a glass tube. On the stairs opposite his bedroom, he split the wire and attached its ends to little bells that would chime when clouds containing electricity passed by. …

Good 7.6 From 139 reviews
Right near train station and city bus terminal, with tram right out front. Walking distance to Old Town. Marketplace with shops, restaurants, and supermarket just steps away.
For the money in a Baltic country is was rather basic and not as good a deal as the hotels we got in Lithuania and Latvia. NO breakfast.
Situated in an odd room on the ground floor of the hotel which because quite noisy from outside revellers at night. Otherwise room was clean and tidy and staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was in a good location for facilities.
A friendly and relaxed all round stay. Excellent location very close the the 'Old Town'. Ideally situated for train and tram services. Excellent Wi-fi, and comfortable room. Highly recommended.
Good value. Charged me a petty two € to store my bicycle. lol
Nice little hotel in an historic building very close to the old town and lots of eating options nearby. My room was big, airy and clean with a nice, modern bathroom. Was able to walk to the hotel from the ferry terminal. Staff was helpful and friendly. Good breakfast. I only had 3 minor issues. First, even though the bathroom was nice the toilet was in a space so cramped it was hard to sit on. Second there was some street and tram noise (my room faced the railway station. ) Finally there is no air-conditioning and my room got a little warm when the sun streamed though the big window. That said I would stay there again. (The Asian restaurant a couple of doors down is good.)
Accommodating front desk, very helpful, with local maps etc. available. Excellent location, good wi-fi. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. A kettle in the room would be a great improvement and the bedding could do with improving/updating, but I would stay here again.
Good basic hotel

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle608
The extraordinary debut novel that became a modern classicBorn mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. For generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose remarkable gift for companionship is epitomized by Almondine, Edgar's lifelong friend and ally. Edgar seems poised to carry on his family's traditions, but when catastrophe strikes, he finds his once-peaceful home engulfed in turmoil.Forced to flee into the vast wilderness lying beyond the Sawtelle farm, Edgar comes of age in the wild, fighting for his survival and that of the three yearling dogs who accompany him, until the day he is forced to choose between leaving forever or returning home to confront the mysteries he has left unsolved.Filled with breathtaking scenes—the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a fateful vision rendered in the falling rain—The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is a meditation on the limits of language and what lies beyond, a brilliantly inventive retelling of an ancient story, and an epic tale of devotion, betrayal, and courage in the American heartland.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
In the year 1919, Edgar's grandfather, who was born with an extra share of whimsy, bought their land and all the buildings on it from a man he'd never met, a man named Schultz, who in his turn had walked away from a logging team half a decade earlier after seeing the chains on a fully loaded timber sled let go. Twenty tons of rolling maple buried a man where Schultz had stood the moment before. As he helped unpile logs to extract the wretched man's remains, Schultz remembered a pretty parcel of land he'd spied north and west of Mellen. The morning he signed the papers he rode one of his ponies along the logging road to his new property and picked out a spot in a clearing below a hill and by nightfall a workable pole stable stood on that ground. The next day he fetched the other pony and filled a yoked cart with supplies and the three of them walked back to his crude homestead, Schultz on foot, reins in hand, and the ponies in harness behind as they drew the cart along and listened to the creak of the dry axle. For the first few months he and the ponies slept side by side in the pole shed and quite often in his dreams Schultz heard the snap when the chains on that load of maple broke.
He tried his best to make a living there as a dairy farmer. In the five years he worked the land, he cleared one twenty-five-acre field and drained another, and he used the lumber from the trees he cut to build an outhouse, a barn, and a house, in that order. So that he wouldn't need to go outside to tote water, he dug his well in the hole that would become the basement of the house. He helped raise barns all the way from Tannery Town to Park Falls so there'd be plenty of help when his time came. And day and night he pulled stumps. That first year he raked and harrowed the south field a dozen times until even his ponies seemed tired of it. He stacked rocks at the edges of the fields in long humped piles and burned stumps in bonfires that could be seen all the way from Popcorn Corners — the closest town, if you called that a town — and even Mellen. He managed to build a small stone-and-concrete silo taller than the barn, but he never got around to capping it. He mixed milk and linseed oil and rust and blood and used the concoction to paint the barn and outhouse red. In the south field he planted hay, and in the west, corn, because the west field was wet and the corn would grow faster there. During his last summer on the farm he even hired two men from town. But when autumn was on the horizon, something happened — no one knew just what — and he took a meager early harvest, auctioned off his livestock and farm implements, and moved away, all in the space of a few weeks.
At the time, John Sawtelle was traveling up north with no thought or intention of buying a farm. In fact, he'd put his fishing tackle into the Kissel and told Mary, his wife, he was delivering a puppy to a man he'd met on his last trip. Which was true, as far as it went. What he didn't mention was that he carried a spare collar in his pocket.
THAT SPRING THEIR DOG, Violet, who was good but wild-hearted, had dug a hole under the fence when she was in heat and run the streets with romance on her mind. They'd ended up chasing a litter of seven around the backyard. He could have given all the pups away to strangers, and he suspected he was going to have to, but the thing was, he liked having those pups around. Liked it in a primal, obsessive way. Violet was the first dog he'd ever owned, and the pups were the first pups he'd ever spent time with, and they yapped and chewed on his shoelaces and looked him in the eye. At night he found himself listening to records and sitting on the grass behind the house and teaching the pups odd little tricks they soon forgot while he and Mary talked. They were newlyweds, or almost. They sat there for hours and hours, and it was the finest time so far in his life. On those nights, he felt connected to something ancient and important that he couldn't name.
But he didn't like the idea of a stranger neglecting one of Vi's pups. The best thing would be if he could place them all in the neighborhood so he could keep tabs on them, watch them grow up, even if from a distance. Surely there were half a dozen kids within an easy walk who wanted a dog. People might think it peculiar, but they wouldn't mind if he asked to see the pups once in while.
Then he and a buddy had gone up to the Chequamegon, a long drive but worth it for the fishing. Plus, the Anti-Saloon League hadn't yet penetrated the north woods, and wasn't likely to, which was another thing he admired about the area. They'd stopped at The Hollow, in Mellen, and ordered a beer, and as they talked a man walked in followed by a dog, a big dog, gray and white with brown patches, some mix of husky and shepherd or something of that kind, a deep-chested beast with a regal bearing and a joyful, jaunty carriage. Every person in the bar seemed to know the dog, who trotted around greeting the patrons.
"That's a fine looking animal," John Sawtelle remarked, watching it work the crowd for peanuts and jerky. He offered to buy the dog's owner a beer for the pleasure of an introduction.
"Name's Captain," the man said, flagging down the bartender to collect. With beer in hand he gave a quick whistle and the dog trotted over.
"Cappy, say hello to the man."
Captain looked up. He lifted a paw to shake.
That he was a massive dog was the first thing that impressed Edgar's grandfather. The second thing was less tangible — something about his eyes, the way the dog met his gaze. And, gripping Captain's paw, John Sawtelle was visited by an idea. A vision. He'd spent so much time with pups lately he imagined Captain himself as a pup. Then he thought about Vi — who was the best dog he'd ever known until then — and about Captain and Vi combined into one dog, one pup, which was a crazy thought because he had far too many dogs on his hands already. He released Captain's paw and the dog trotted off and he turned back to the bar and tried to put that vision out of his mind by asking where to find muskie. They weren't hitting out on Clam Lake. And there were so many little lakes around.
The next morning, they drove back into town for breakfast. The diner was situated across the street from the Mellen town hall, a large squarish building with an unlikely looking cupola facing the road. In front stood a white, three-tiered drinking fountain with one bowl at person height, another lower, for horses, and a small dish near the ground whose purpose was not immediately clear. They were about to walk into the diner when a dog rounded the corner and trotted nonchalantly past. It was Captain. He was moving in a strangely light-footed way for such a solidly constructed dog, lifting and dropping his paws as if suspended by invisible strings and merely paddling along for steering. Edgar's grandfather stopped in the diner's doorway and watched. When Captain reached the front of the town hall, he veered to the fountain and lapped from the bowl nearest the ground.
"Come on," his buddy said. "I'm starving."
From along the alley beside the town hall came another dog, trailing a half-dozen pups behind. She and Captain performed an elaborate sashay, sniffing backsides and pressing noses into ruffs, while the pups bumbled about their feet. Captain bent to the little ones and shoved his nose under their bellies and one by one rolled them. Then he dashed down the street and turned and barked. The pups scrambled after him. In a few minutes, he'd coaxed them back to the fountain, spinning around in circles with the youngsters in hot pursuit while the mother dog stretched out on the lawn and watched, panting.
A woman in an apron walked out the door of the diner, squeezed past the two men, and looked on.
"That's Captain and his lady," she said. "They've been meeting there with the kids every morning for the last week. Ever since Violet's babies got old enough to get around."
"Whose babies?" Edgar's grandfather said.
"Why, Violet's." The woman looked at him as if he were an idiot. "The mama dog. That dog right there."
"I've got a dog named Violet," he said. "And she has a litter about that age right this moment back home."
"Well, what do you know," the woman said, without the slightest note of interest.
"I mean, don't you think that's sort of a coincidence? That I'd run into a dog with my own dog's name, and with a litter the same age?"
"I couldn't say. Could be that sort of thing happens all the time."
"Here's a coincidence happens every morning," his buddy interjected. "I wake up, I get hungry, I eat breakfast. Amazing."
"You go ahead," John Sawtelle said. "I'm not all that hungry anyway." And with that, he stepped into the dusty street and crossed to the town hall.
WHEN HE FINALLY SAT DOWN for breakfast, the waitress appeared at their table with coffee. "If you're so interested in those pups, Billy might sell you one," she said. "He can't hardly give 'em away, there's so many dogs around here."
"Who's Billy?"
She turned and gestured in the direction of the sit-down counter. There, on one of the stools, sat Captain's owner, drinking a cup of coffee and reading the Sentinel. Edgar's grandfather invited the man to join them. When they were seated, he asked Billy if the pups were indeed his.
"Some of them," Billy said. "Cappy got old Violet in a fix. I've got to find a place for half the litter. But what I really think I'll do is keep 'em. Cap dotes on 'em, and ever since my Scout ran off last summer I've only had the one dog. He gets lonely."
Edgar's grandfather explained about his own litter, and about Vi, expanding on her qualities, and then he offered to trade a pup for a pup. He told Billy he could have the pick of Vi's litter, and furthermore could pick which of Captain's litter he'd trade for, though a male was preferable if it was all the same. Then he thought for a moment and revised his equest: he'd take the smartest pup Billy was willing to part with, and he didn't care if it was male or female.
"Isn't the idea to reduce the total number of dogs at your place?" his buddy said.
"I said I'd find the pups a home. That's not exactly the same thing."
"I don't think Mary is going to see it that way. Just a guess there."
Billy sipped his coffee and suggested that, while interested, he had reservations about traveling practically the length of Wisconsin just to pick out a pup. Their table was near the big front window and, from there, John Sawtelle could see Captain and his offspring rolling around on the grass. He watched them awhile, then turned to Billy and promised he'd pick out the best of Vi's litter and drive it up — male or female, Billy's choice. And if Billy didn't like it, then no trade, and that was a fair deal.
Which was how John Sawtelle found himself driving to Mellen that September with a pup in a box and a fishing rod in the back seat, whistling "Shine On, Harvest Moon." He'd already decided to name the new pup Gus if the name fit.
Billy and Captain took to Vi's pup at once. The two men walked into Billy's backyard to discuss the merits of each of the pups in Captain's litter and after a while one came bumbling over and that decided things. John Sawtelle put the spare collar on the pup and they spent the afternoon parked by a lake, shore fishing. Gus ate bits of sunfish roasted on a stick and they slept there in front of a fire, tethered collar to belt by a length of string.
The next day, before heading home, Edgar's grandfather thought he'd drive around a bit. The area was an interesting mix: the logged-off parts were ugly as sin, but the pretty parts were especially pretty. Like the falls. And some of the farm country to the west. Most especially, the hilly woods north of town. Besides, there were few things he liked better than steering the Kissel along those old back roads.
Late in the morning he found himself navigating along a heavily washboarded dirt road. The limbs of the trees meshed overhead. Left and right, thick underbrush obscured everything farther than twenty yards into the woods. When the road finally topped out at a clearing, he was presented with a view of the Penokee range rolling out to the west, and an unbroken emerald forest stretching to the north — all the way, it seemed, to the granite rim of Lake Superior. At the bottom of the hill stood a little white farmhouse and a gigantic red barn. A milk house was huddled up near the front of the barn. An untopped stone silo stood behind. By the road, a crudely lettered sign read, "For Sale."
He pulled into the rutted drive. He parked and got out and peered through the living room windows. No one was home. The house looked barely finished inside. He stomped through the fields with Gus in his arms and when he got back he plunked himself down on the running board of the Kissel and watched the autumn clouds soar above.
John Sawtelle was a tremendous reader and letter writer. He especially loved newspapers from faraway cities. He'd recently happened across an article describing a man named Gregor Mendel — a Czechoslovakian monk, of all things — who had done some very interesting experiments with peas. Had demonstrated, for starters, that he could predict how the offspring of his plants would look — the colors of their flowers and so on. Mendelism, this was being called: the scientific study of heredity.
The article had dwelt upon the stupendous implications for the breeding of livestock. Edgar's grandfather had been so fascinated that he'd gone to the library and located a book on Mendel and read it cover to cover. What he'd learned occupied his mind in odd moments. He thought back on the vision (if he could call it that) that had descended upon him as he shook Captain's paw at The Hollow. It was one of those rare days when everything in a person's life feels connected. He was twenty-five years old, but over the course of the last year his hair had turned steely gray. The same thing had happened to his grandfather, yet his father was edging up on seventy with a jet black mane. Nothing of the kind had happened to either of his elder brothers, though one was bald as an egg. Nowadays when John Sawtelle looked into the mirror he felt a little like a Mendelian pea himself.
He sat in the sun and watched Gus, thick-legged and clumsy, pin a grasshopper to the ground, mouth it, then shake his head with disgust and lick his chops. He'd begun smothering the hopper with the side of his neck when he suddenly noticed Edgar's grandfather looking on, heels set in the dirt driveway, toes pointed skyward. The pup bucked in mock surprise, as if he'd never seen this man before. He scrambled forward to investigate, twice going tail over teakettle as he closed the gap.
It was, John Sawtelle thought, a lovely little place.
Explaining Gus to his wife was going to be the least of his worries.
IN FACT, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG for the fuss to die down. When he wanted to, Edgar's grandfather could radiate a charming enthusiasm, one of the reasons Mary had been attracted to him in the first place. He could tell a good story about the way things were going to be. Besides, they had been living in her parents' house for over a year and she was as eager as he to get out on her own. They completed the purchase of the land by mail and telegram.
This the boy Edgar would come to know because his parents kept their most important documents in an ammunition box at the back of their bedroom closet. The box was military gray, with a big clasp on the side, and it was metal, and therefore mouseproof. When they weren't around he'd sneak it out and dig through the contents. Their birth certificates were in there, along with a marriage certificate and the deed and history of ownership of their land. But the telegram was what interested him most — a thick, yellowing sheet of paper with a Western Union legend across the top, its message consisting of just six words, glued to the backing in strips: OFFER ACCEPTED SEE ADAMSKI RE PAPERS. Adamski was Mr. Schultz's lawyer; his signature appeared on several documents in the box. The glue holding those words to the telegram had dried over the years, and each time Edgar snuck it out, another word dropped off. The first to go was papers, then re, then see. Eventually Edgar stopped taking the telegram out at all, fearing that when accepted fluttered into his lap, his family's claim to the land would be reversed.
He didn't know what to do with the liberated words. It seemed wrong to throw them away, so he dropped them into the ammo box and hoped no one would notice.

Breitbart is reporting today that the the leak saying that Russia is interfering in the 2020 election is not true. Just as an aside, Russia has always interfered in our elections–they don't care who wins–they just want to disrupt things and hopefully cause Americans to lose faith in the electoral process. Unfortunately they have been more successful at times than I would have liked.
The article reports:
U.S. intelligence and national security officials have reportedly refuted the claim that Russia is interfering in the 2020 elections to help President Donald Trump's re-election, arguing in media reports published over the weekend that the United States does not have evidence to support the allegation.
House Democrat lawmakers pushing the allegation that the Kremlin is trying to help Trump "misheard or misinterpreted" the intelligence community's formal assessment of ongoing U.S. election interference by the Russians, unnamed U.S. officials suggested to the New York Times.
Just another example of fake news put forth by the Democrats and the mainstream media.
The article concludes:
Citing sources familiar with the matter, the Washington Post recently reported that U.S. officials had warned Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that Russia is trying to get him to the White House. Sanders is currently the front-runner for the Democrat presidential nomination.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) has described the assertion that Russia is trying to help Sanders as "false," lambasting Trump for repeating it.
Echoing the U.S. intelligence and national security officers who spoke to CNN and the Times, White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien and Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff Marc Short denied the ODNI official's claim that Russia is interfering in the 2020 presidential election to aid Trump's re-election.
Nevertheless, Democrat lawmakers continue to claim that Russia is interfering in the U.S. elections on behalf of Trump.
President Trump has called for an investigation into a possible leak of classified intelligence unveiled during the briefing on election interference, accusing Schiff of leaking the information.
What needs to happen here is that the person who leaked whatever information was leaked needs to be prosecuted for leaking.

[Federal Register Volume 73, Number 154 (Friday, August 8, 2008)] [Notices] [Pages 46341-46342] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: E8-18288] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UNITED STATES SENTENCING COMMISSION Sentencing Guidelines for United States Courts AGENCY: United States Sentencing Commission. ACTION: Notice of proposed priorities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: As part of its statutory authority and responsibility to analyze sentencing issues, including operation of the federal sentencing guidelines, and in accordance with Rule 5.2 of its Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Commission is seeking comment on possible priority policy issues for the amendment cycle ending May 1, 2009. DATES: Public comment should be received on or before September 8, 2008. ADDRESSES: Send comments to: United States Sentencing Commission, One Columbus Circle, NE., Suite 2-500, South Lobby, Washington, DC 20002- 8002, Attention: Public Affairs-Priorities Comment. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Courlander, Public Affairs Officer, Telephone: (202) 502-4590. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Sentencing Commission is [[Page 46342]] an independent agency in the judicial branch of the United States Government. The Commission promulgates sentencing guidelines and policy statements for federal sentencing courts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a). The Commission also periodically reviews and revises previously promulgated guidelines pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(o) and submits guideline amendments to the Congress not later than the first day of May each year pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(p). The Commission provides this notice to identify tentative priorities for the amendment cycle ending May 1, 2009. The Commission recognizes, however, that other factors, such as the enactment of any legislation requiring Commission action, may affect the Commission's ability to complete work on any of the tentative priorities by the statutory deadline of May 1, 2009. Accordingly, it may be necessary to continue work on some of these issues beyond the amendment cycle ending on May 1, 2009. As so prefaced, the Commission has identified the following tentative priorities: (1) Continuation of its work on federal sentencing policy with the congressional, executive, and judicial branches of the government, and other interested parties, in light of United States v. Booker and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, possibly including (A) an evaluation of the impact of those decisions on the federal sentencing guideline system, (B) development of amendments to the federal sentencing guidelines, (C) development of recommendations for legislation regarding federal sentencing policy, and (D) a study of statutory mandatory minimum penalties; (2) Consideration of alternatives to incarceration, including preparation and dissemination of information and materials from the ``Symposium on Crime and Punishment in the United States: Alternatives to Incarceration,'' hosted by the Commission on July 14-15, 2008, in Washington, DC; (3) Implementation of crime legislation enacted during the 110th or 111th Congress warranting a Commission response, including (A) the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007, Public Law 110-177; and (B) any other legislation authorizing statutory penalties or creating new offenses that requires incorporation into the guidelines; (4) Continuation of its work with Congress and other interested parties on cocaine sentencing policy to implement the recommendations set forth in the Commission's 2002 and 2007 reports to Congress, both entitled Cocaine and Federal Sentencing Policy, and to develop appropriate guideline amendments in response to any related legislation; (5) A multi-year study of the definition of ``crime of violence'' used in both statutes and guidelines; (6) Continuation of its efforts, in light of recent Supreme Court jurisprudence and pursuant to the Commission's ongoing authority and responsibility under 28 U.S.C. 995(a)(17), (18), and (21), to receive feedback and provide expanded training on the federal sentencing guidelines, including possibly holding regional public hearings; (7) Resolution of circuit conflicts, pursuant to the Commission's continuing authority and responsibility, under 28 U.S.C. 991(b)(1)(B) and Braxton v. United States, 500 U.S. 344 (1991), to resolve conflicting interpretations of the guidelines by the federal courts; and (8) Consideration of miscellaneous guideline application issues regarding (A) offenses involving counterfeit bearer obligations of the United States, (B) application of Sec. 3C1.3 (Commission of Offense While on Release), and (C) other miscellaneous issues coming to the Commission's attention from case law and other sources. The Commission hereby gives notice that it is seeking comment on these tentative priorities and on any other issues that interested persons believe the Commission should address during the amendment cycle ending May 1, 2009. Further, with respect to item (7), the Commission requests specific comment regarding what circuit conflict issues it should address. To the extent practicable, public comment should include the following: (1) A statement of the issue, including scope and manner of study, particular problem areas and possible solutions, and any other matters relevant to a proposed priority; (2) citations to applicable sentencing guidelines, statutes, case law, and constitutional decisions; and (3) a direct and concise statement of why the Commission should make the issue a priority.

For the moment I'm no longer active on the gentlemens clubs in Sweden, they also shut down one after one. Circumstances made me have to change my path again and this is the news from my life.
As it is now I'm active on the erotic fairs in Sweden and abroad but live appearances can be made with my web booking on this page.
I suffered some challanges last year, one was the strike of my built up insta account that got permanently deleated. I see this as a new beginning now when having some more currage.
And also a way to give more time and devosion to my passion for my dominatrix practice.
My best way to help my followers in the right direction is to categorize my content.I have noticed some confusion among my followers and clients.
Since some like it sweet and get scared of salt or crazy or the opposet, get confused my sweetnes when craving salt I now categorize my insta content into three accounts that are seperate.

With its wide-spread use of Strategic Planning, the Church has adopted a set of practices based on principles that are, at least to some degree, at odds with its own teaching. It seems to me that the dangers implicit in the above-mentioned presuppositions have allowed an uncritical use of Strategic Planning, which pose a number of dangers for the Church.
First, and this is the lesser of the three dangers, a tremendous amount of time and resources are being wasted. There is often almost no return on the investment and, if a coherent plan does emerge, it is rarely implemented and even abandoned in light of unanticipated changes. In the business world the issue of non-implementation is well-known. In tracing the history and development of strategic management, Vijaykumar Bhatia points out that, in the majority of firms he studied "strategic plans were made but remained unimplemented, and profits/growth continued to stagnate."[1]
It is obvious that the strategic planning initiatives undertaken by the ecclesial bodies cited above have involved years of effort by hundreds of people, consuming untold financial resources. But, if you talk[2]with the participants of those programs today, many will tell you that it was a mostly fruitless endeavor because "nothing has changed,""the plan has simply not been implemented,""there was no meaningful follow through."[3]
In the case of a giant corporation with almost unlimited resources, such a waste might be more easily absorbed. However, in a local parish and even a national Church organization where both funds and personnel are strictly limited, this "investment for nothing"is damaging to the structure and the morale of the parish and, for that reason, hard to justify. Moreover, those resources do not belong to the Church, are not earned or own by the Church, but are rather freely gifted by God and are to be used to implement divine, not human, givens. The faithful are called to be good stewards of the resources given to them. It follows then, that anything that wastes these resources and actually prevents the Church from fulfilling its tasks would have to be considered damaging to the Church.
This brings me to another danger posed by the uncritical use of Strategic Planning in the Church, that is, a loss of focus. What is so tragic about this waste is that resources are expended in order to redefine what has already been given to the Church. To their credit the framers of these church-based Strategic Plans do specifically mention Jesus'statement of the mission at the very beginning of their report, citing Mt 28:19-20, and begin by declaring their intention of welcoming"all people seeking salvation, love, truth and fulfillment."The Ukrainian statement indicates its desire to embrace "those who hunger for love, comfort, fulfillment and hope."In these cases, they cite Jesus'words of commission and one would think that that, all by itself, would narrow or limit the desired outcomes of such plans to the results of implementing the twin tasks of "Making Disciples,"namely baptizing and teaching.However, judging by the lists of "top goals"enumerated in these plans, we see a "diversification"of goals that includes every imaginable aspect of contemporary ecclesial life and practice.[4]Many of these would appear to go way beyond anything having to do with fulfilling Christ's commission. They include things like Empirical Metrics, Skills Matching, Comprehensive Communications Platform, and Cohesive Branding. Moreover, these diverse goals multiply and become so numerous that the Church, standing before this veritable mountain of tasks, doesn't know where to begin and often doesn't.
The difficulty here is that the Strategic Planning seems to take on a life of its own and the process itself drives a widened agenda, appealing to our creativity and our desire to "do"something, to take control. As mentioned earlier, some of these plans specifically refer to the commission Jesus "gave His Apostles [as] a clear strategic planas to how they were to achieve his vision."[5] If the biblical text already represents a plan, if it already contains the "how" of its execution, then one wonders why are we spending so much time and perhaps losing some of our focus by reaching out for something we have no need of and for which we, in any case, have no authority to re-define.
This, I believe, brings us to another danger, namely, that by using this tool we are able to create the impression of security and control. In doing so we fall into a dangerous trap recognized even in the business world. In his brief article, The Big Lie of Strategic Planning,Roger L. Martin notes
All executives know that strategy is important. But almost all also find it scary, because it forces them to confront a future they can only guess at. Worse, actually choosing a strategy entails making decisions that explicitly cut off possibilities and options. An executive may well fear that getting those decisions wrong will wreck his or her career.
The natural reaction is to make the challenge less daunting by turning it into a problem that can be solved with tried and tested tools. That nearly always means spending weeks or even months preparing a comprehensive plan for how the company will invest in existing and new assets and capabilities in order to achieve a target—an increased share of the market, say, or a share in some new one. The plan is typically supported with detailed spreadsheets that project costs and revenue quite far into the future. By the end of the process, everyone feels a lot less scared.
This is a truly terrible way to make strategy. It may be an excellent way to cope with fear of the unknown, but fear and discomfort are an essential part of strategy making. In fact, if you are entirely comfortable with your strategy, there's a strong chance it isn't very good. [6]
Like so many in the secular world, Church leaders are tempted to insulate themselves and their ministries from the unknowables of an ever-changing world by seeking to proactively take control over future outcomes. We want to alleviate our anxiety, not by faith in God's providence, or by making use of the resources he has already given us, but by creating our own zones of comfort. But this undermines or even obviates our need to trust in God's providence, and the guidance, equipping, and empowering of the Holy Spirit. If we, in keeping with the operating principles of the contemporary social imaginary, claim for ourselves the freedom to define our mission, the unfettered ability to use our rational ability to solve all the challenges we face, and our ability to use supposedly neutral technologies and resources to solve our problems, then what need is there for any kind of divine assistance. In that case, there is no synergy, but human beings defining, planning, and executing that strategy on their own and for their own benefit. In another place[7]I have suggested that this amounts to shifting the mode of ecclesial life from beingChurch to doingChurch and that shift constitutes severe structural damage.
In the next post I will conclude this segment of our conversation by proposing an ecclesially acceptable alternative to the business version of Strategic Planning
[1]"Strategic Management-History and Development," http://vijaykumarbhatia.weebly.com/strategic-management-history-and-development.html.
[2]I have conducted an interview with a member of the OCA's Metropolitan council, who seconded the notion that the whole, expensive process lead to no meaningful change and was, thus, a waste of time and effort.
[3]A notable exception to this is the ongoing work of the Greek Archdiocese of America, which defined its Strategic plan in terms of six steps, the last of which is its "implementation." To that end there is, today, years after the inception of the plan, an almost permanent presence of follow-up reminders, opportunities, activities, and reports. right from its inception.
[4]The following list of goals is found in the Strategic Plan of the Ukrainian Church and is similar to what is found in all the plans cited above. "Administration: Empirical Metrics, Skills Matching, Operational and Personnel Needs. 2. Clergy: Clergy Development Program, Clergy Compensation and Wellness, U.S. Clergy Recruitment. 3. Communications: Welcoming Ministry, Comprehensive Communications Platform, Cohesive Brand. 4. Education: Orthodox Education Lifelong Learning Program, Orthodox Leadership Development Program. 5. Family & Youth: Family Lifecycle Program, College Student Outreach Program, Adolescent Outreach Program. 6. Healthy Parishes: Healthy Parishes Program, Caring Ministry Program. 7. Outreach and Evangelism: Outreach & Evangelism Ministry, New Successful Mission Parishes, Philanthropic Outreach."
