The Granting of Beingness
We're talking about what life does best: it waves its magic wand and says "be" or "live" or "exist" and things do. And that's what life does. —L. Ron Hubbard
Containing technology drawn directly from The Factors, here is a lecture with a special magic—a lecture L. Ron Hubbard considered so crucial he had it duplicated for distribution to all auditors. For herein is the answer to a question thetans ponder all their infinite days—to grant beingness or not grant beingness?
Detailing the drama of how a thetan grants beingness then fights the beingness he has granted, Mr. Hubbard examines all consequences of the problem. From moment to moment creating his future, a thetan grants beingness in myriad ways—to the MEST universe, his own creations, other life and even his own time track. For the granting of beingness is not some rare talent or special skill, but a natural ability every being possesses to an unlimited degree. And as L. Ron Hubbard explores its infinite range of applications in auditing, art and living, he illustrates how life extends a welcome to the one who grants beingness and treats with disdain those who do not.
Here, then, are vital truths not only for auditors, but for every Scientologist. For this is no less than the stuff of life itself, and all contained in what Ron calls "the finest thing that a thetan can do."

The boyfriend of a missing Ruch woman has been named a "person of interest" in her mysterious disappearance on July 4.
Jackson County sheriff's investigators say they believe Lennie Laverne Ames, 60, has vital information regarding the sudden disappearance of Stephanie Anne Warner, 43.
Ames was Warner's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance and was the last known person to have seen her on July 4, according to a Sheriff's Department release.
On Thursday, deputies and a search and rescue team searched a wooded area on Bureau of Land Management property near a campsite recently occupied by Ames, the release said.
Jackson County sheriff's investigators previously searched Ames' travel trailer and vehicles at the campsite. Several items were collected as evidence in that search, the release said.
More evidence was collected Wednesday at Warner's home in the 9000 block of Highway 238, it said.
Jackson County sheriff's Detective Eric Henderson said investigators have been in regular contact with Ames throughout the nearly two-month investigation. Henderson described Ames as being cooperative.
"We named him a person of interest because we can't definitively clear him of her disappearance," Henderson said.
Ames cannot be labeled a suspect in a crime because Warner has not been found, Henderson said.
"These are difficult cases because she literally disappeared off the face of the Earth," Henderson said. "We have no sign or activity from her at all since she was last seen by Ames."
Warner was spotted marching in Ashland's Independence Day parade on behalf of the Jackson County Fuel Committee.
Following the event, she vanished and no cellphone or bank account activity has been noted, Henderson said.
Warner was not known to randomly take off from her home or family for extended periods, Henderson said.
"In fact, the opposite is true," he said. "She was making future plans to do things locally. There's no evidence to suggest that she planned to take off and leave."
Warner's family, who lives in Louisiana, called to report the disappearance. Her family told police it was unlike her to go without contact for a lengthy period of time.
Henderson declined to discuss what evidence was seized at Ames' campsite and Warner's home.
"We hold out hope, and the family holds out hope, that she will be found alive," Henderson said. "We cannot completely discount the possibility that she is alive."
Warner has brown eyes and red hair, stands 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. She was wearing black pants and a pink tank top when she was seen at the parade.
Missing person fliers state that Warner typically wears a small, metal cross necklace fashioned of nails and bronze wire strung on a long black cord. Her tattoos include a green peacock on her left thigh, a woman's face in profile with a large butterfly in her hair on her right thigh, and a pink flowered vine with an owl sitting on it on her right ankle, Henderson said.
Anyone who has information about her disappearance is asked to call the Jackson County Sheriff's Office tip line at 541-774-8333 or email email@example.com.
Reach reporter Chris Conrad at 541-776-4471 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Scattered throughout any community are tiny, struggling churches.
Sometimes they're invisible. If you blink while driving past them you'll miss them. Or they're eyesores — run down, weather worn.
In my 20 years covering local religion for the newspaper, I've gotten to know the people at some of these little churches.
I've attended their services and could count the people in the pews with two hands and not need a third.
From staff reports
Freddie Maggard, a former Kansas City Royals baseball player and University of Kentucky quarterback (1988-1992), spoke recently at the Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg's middle/high school chapel service, the school announced.
Maggard shared about putting Christ first in people's lives and reminded the students that the choices we make as young people will affect our futures for the positive or the negative.
He said always putting Christ first will secure a good future.

Tachycardia is a dangerously rapid heartbeat, arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat and dead is no heartbeat at all — and I had all three recently.
That may be a slight exaggeration and a bit of melodrama, but the truth is I experienced severe panic recently.
I lost my camera.
And by "my camera" I mean the one the newspaper I work for gave me to use and not mine to keep.
Free clothing will be available Monday, Feb. 2 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at Salvisa Christian Church, according to a news release.
The church is located at 155 Sugar St., Salvisa.
For more information call Pam Votaw at 502-839-5626 or Charlotte Fallis at 859-865-2226.

We should realize based on our definition of faith that true Christianity is not a religion. The creator didn't initiate a religion when he breathed his life into the first man. That is why the "ian" at the end of the word Christian is so important to understand.
It means to be characterized by, in this case a person Christ.
If you call yourself a Christian you are telling others that you are not religious, but that you have a living relationship with a person.

Handle error scenarios with Offline OData
You will learn
In this tutorial, you will learn how to handle errors which can occur in an application using the offline OData scenario.
In a standard, online OData application, any errors that may occur are received instantly. As such, these can be handled in a quite simple way. For instance, the SDK Assistant already creates an Xcode project with standard error handlers for the Create and Update operations.
Because an application using an offline OData scenario does not directly perform a create or update operation, any errors are only discovered once the Upload operation has been executed.
For example, someone has changed a record on the backend. Imagine your application has not yet synchronized the changes, and while being offline, you have made changes to that same record. If you now upload your changes, they might collide with the changes already made on the backend, and these needs to be corrected.
Or imagine someone has deleted a record you were editing, and the upload of the now-deleted entity fails. An update will also fail if the updated record is locked.
This tutorial will give some hints on how to implement error handling in such scenarios.
In the previous tutorial, you created an application with the offline OData store. In that tutorial, only downloads from the backend to the apps offline store were implemented. Now, uploading of local changes will have to be implemented as well. Uploading the request queue when the device is online sends up changes that have been made to the offline store but have not yet been made to the back end. Once a request is successfully received by the back end, the request is deleted from the queue, the change is made to the back end, and a new version of that object is sent to the offline store the next time the application performs a download.
Generally, it is good practice to perform an upload before performing a download. However, since locally changed objects are not updated with an upload, this order is not absolutely required.
In addition, since download and upload operations are not performed automatically, it is up to the application developer to decide when these operations will happen:
- User-action
- Download when the application starts
- Download / upload every N minutes
- etc.
In the previous tutorial, the download happens on user-action (when loading a collection of data). For this tutorial, the upload will happen every 60 seconds.
Open the file
AppDelegate.swift and add the following field:
var scheduledUploadTimer: DispatchSourceTimer?
Add the following methods to the
AppDelegate class:
private func startScheduledUpload() {
let queue = DispatchQueue(label: Constants.appId + ".scheduledUploadTimer")
scheduledUploadTimer = DispatchSource.makeTimerSource(queue: queue)
scheduledUploadTimer!.scheduleRepeating(deadline: .now(), interval: .seconds(60))
scheduledUploadTimer!.setEventHandler(handler: self.eSPMContainer.performUpload)
private func stopScheduledUpload() {
scheduledUploadTimer = nil
The first method instantiates the timer, and defines it as a repeating schedule to run every 60 seconds. It will then execute the defined handler
self.eSPMContainer.performUpload which will be implemented later.
The second method is used to invalidate the timer, when the application will be terminated.
To instantiate the timer, add the
startScheduledUpload() method to the
urlSession didSet handler:
var urlSession: SAPURLSession? {
didSet {
self.eSPMContainer = ESPMContainer(urlSession: urlSession!)
To stop the timer when the app is inactive and resume it once active again, add the following two task delegates:
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
if self.scheduledUploadTimer != nil {
else {
Locate the method
applicationWillResignActive, and add the following implementation:
This will pause the timer when the application becomes inactive.
Locate the method
applicationDidBecomeActive, and add the following implementation:
This will resume the timer once the application becomes active again.
Open file
ESPMContainerDataAccess.swift and add the following methods:
func performUpload() {
self.service.upload(completionHandler: { ( _ error: OfflineODataError?) -> Void in
self.uploadCompletion(success: error == nil, error: error)
func uploadCompletion(success: Bool, error: Error?) {
if success {
self.logger.info("Upload from offline store to backend successful")
else {
self.logger.error("Upload from offline store failed!", error: error)
// TODO: Implement error handling
The first method calls the offline store's
upload method. Upon finishing – whether successful or not – the second method
uploadCompletion is called.
If the upload was successful, it is simply logged. If it failed, an error is logged, and some counteraction should be taken.
Now, for an actual collision to happen, you need to update the data on the backend – either lock update or delete a record. If you run these tutorials against an SAP ECC or ES4 backend, you could easily do that in the backend itself. If you're connecting against the sample OData service of SAP Cloud Platform mobile service for development and operations, it takes some more steps.
- Create a new, online OData application using the SDK Assistant, using the same application namespace as the offline application for this tutorial.
- Have the offline application run on a physical device, and the new, online application run on the Xcode Simulator (or a separate device)
- Connect the physical device running the Offline OData application to Xcode, so you can examine its logs.
- Start both applications, and make sure both data is up to date.
- Switch the offline application device to Airplane Mode.
- On the online application, update a field for a specific record and save the changes.
- On the offline application, update that same field for that same record and save the changes.
- Disable Airplane Mode from the offline application's device.
- Wait for the timer to trigger the upload, and examine the log.
When an upload request fails, the request itself and relevant details about that request are stored in the
ErrorArchive, a special entity set that can be queried using the
OfflineODataProvider. It is up to the app developers to determine how these errors should be solved. You could choose to
Replace the comment in method
uploadCompletion with the following function call:
Add the implementation for the previous function call:
private func logFailedRequestsAndClearErrorArchive() {
do {
let errorArchive: EntitySet = try self.service.entitySet( withName: "ErrorArchive" )
let affectedEntity: Property = errorArchive.entityType.property( withName: "AffectedEntity" )
let errorList: EntityValueList = try self.service.executeQuery(
DataQuery().selectAll().from( errorArchive ) ).entityList()
for errorObject in errorList {
let code = errorArchive.entityType.property( withName: "Code" ).stringValue( from: errorObject )
let message = errorArchive.entityType.property( withName: "Message" ).stringValue( from: errorObject )
let body = errorArchive.entityType.property( withName: "RequestBody" ).stringValue( from: errorObject )
self.logger.error("Error object code: \(code), message: \(message), body: \(body)")
try self.service.loadProperty( affectedEntity, into: errorObject )
// Do something with the affected entity here, i.e. navigate to AffectedEntity in
// order to correct the error
// let errorEntity = affectedEntity.entityValue( from: errorObject )
// ...
// Remove error object from EntityArchive
try self.service.deleteEntity(errorObject)
catch let error {
self.logger.error("Cleaning up ErrorArchive failed", error: error)
Repeat the steps to create a failed upload as outlined in step 5. Any change you make now will result in a failed upload request. The failure is logged, and the Error Archive entry is deleted. The affected entity itself is not updated; it is reverted to its previous state.
Next Steps
- Development environment: Apple iMac, MacBook or MacBook Pro running Xcode 9 or higher
- SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS: Version 2.0
- Tutorials: Offline OData - Implementation
- Step 1: Add scheduled timer
- Step 2: Add methods for starting & stopping Scheduled Uploads
- Step 3: Suspend timer when application becomes inactive
- Step 4: Resume timer when application becomes active
- Step 5: Implement upload logic
- Step 6: Log failed uploads
- Step 7: Trigger a failing update
- Back to Top

A look at the winners of Nobel Prize in physics
Peter Higgs, 84, emeritus professor of theoretical physics at the University of Edinburgh, Britain, and Francois Englert, 80, professor emeritus of theoretical physics at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.
For proposing the existence of a special type of subatomic particle, since named the Higgs boson, whose features were confirmed last year through experiments conducted at CERN, the gigantic international particle research laboratory on the Swiss-French border.
The existence of the Higgs boson is needed to explain how particles acquire mass. That provides a fundamental pillar of the physics theory which explains the origins of the universe by describing how matter came into being shortly after the Big Bang.

I made friends with a new single mom, *Jane in my building. Her son is 4 and she told me I'm lucky.
On Friday, JD and I bounded out of our Jeep. I was carrying my purse, his nap bag, his lunchbox, my laptop case and my travel coffee mug. In all fairness, JD was carrying 3 cars, 2 superhero figures and a goody bag from a school birthday party. We should have consolidated.
JD swiped the key fob and the door buzzed open. I opened it and held it propped with my foot. "Go in buddy!" I said and JD wiggled around me. Then I felt the door release from my foot. It was Jane. She smiled brightly at me. "Hello!"
"Thanks, I said." "Hey!"
The 3 of shuffled into the elevator. I wondered where her son *Jeff was, but bit my tongue. JD is always with me. When I show up to the Farmer's Market or Deli without him, people ask me where he is. Everyone loves my cheese-eating kid. JD was excited to press our floor's button and Jane's. We made small talk—it's cold again, TGIF, blah-blah-blah. When the elevator stopped at our floor I mentioned that we should get together with the kids this weekend in the courtyard and play ball. I assumed Jane was a solo single mom like me. She's not.
*Jeff isn't with me this weekend," she said and made a signature sad face. JD had already run down the hall to talk to Nick, a silver fox gentleman from our floor. He goes out with Claire—a single mom with grown children and a little grandson, JD's age. Love her. We chat and she looks out for us. It's really cute.
"Oh, with Dad," I said? I was prying.
"Yep," Jane said, holding the door so it wouldn't slide shut. She wanted to talk.
"That's cool. I guess you get a little break, right?" I said (crap, that sounded bad. Who wants a break from their kid!? $^%#*@*). I rebounded: "My son's dad never met him and lives four states away." Shrug.
"I wish that was my situation," she said. "I'm jealous. You're so lucky!" I heard JD's deep belly laugh, likely because Nick was telling him a joke.
When we got inside, JD took off his sneakers, popped them into the basket and went into the bathroom to wash his hands. I opened the fridge and pulled out some leftover spaghetti, a bag of salad and a red pepper. When I closed the fridge door JD was sitting on the rug. "I'm gonna build a car wash while you cook dinner, Mom." I smiled. This is OUR routine. WE have a solid routine. Life is crazy sometimes, but we're a team and for the most part, we work together.
I guess I should count myself lucky. I really, truly don't have to deal with any baby mama BS drama. My son's dad pays his child support—on time. We communicate civilly via email about extra money he owes for activities, school and healthcare under the court order. But he ignores every picture I sometimes send and refuses to respond or even acknowledge questions about visiting or even suggesting what he would like me to tell JD about him. Well, I'm lying. Once he said: "I don't care and this is how it will always be." He should care. Things will not always be this way. He is not the only party here.
JD's father has a son. Isn't he wondering about what his son is going to think of him when he finds out he left his half-brother and refuses to acknowledge him? I know about the shades of grey when it comes to life, but I also know about the black and white parts too and the example I constantly set for JD. We have no secrets. There are no elephants living at our condo or lurking in shadows.
Am I a lucky single mom? JD's dad abides by the LAW and he isn't doing anything special in my eyes. There are definitely dads that a single mom might not want her kid around. These are bad guys (no idea what Jane's ex is like, btw): druggies, abusers, low lives, in child support arrears up to their necks—in jail (hi, VH1 Mob Wives). (Some of the moms are bitter and stand in the way, too.) My son's father is NONE of these.

Article 9, Work Assignment/Work Agreement, in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the University and the GTFF details the General Duties and Responsibilities Statement (GDRS) that each hiring unit must prepare describing the conditions under which GE appointments and reappointments are made, evaluations are performed, etc. The GDRS is not a job description. In a grievance situation or dispute, however, the hiring unit will be held to the policies and procedures outlined in its GDRS.
Pursuant to the current CBA (Article 9, Section 5), the Graduate School has developed this website for students, faculty and staff to easily access GDRS documents in an electronic format. The GDRS documents (PDFs) contained on this website are to be considered the master copies, and any electronic or non-electronic distribution of the GDRS must be made from these copies. The Graduate School maintains out-of-date GDRS files, which can be made available upon request.
There are two points at which a student is to be provided with access to the unit's GDRS: (1) at the time of application and (2) at the time of hire.
GDRS revisions shall be submitted to the Graduate School by May 15th of each year.
The Graduate School will post electronic versions of the new GDRS documents by August 15th each year.
New GE-employing units who need to create a new GDRS should review the GDRS docs of similar units (listed below) and then contact the Graduate School (firstname.lastname@example.com) to get started.

Since this is a more complicated plumbing problem to solve than something like faucet repair, you really need a qualified plumbing professional that knows what they are doing.
In order to determine exactly what is wrong, you have to get inside the pipe. Before and sewer repair video pipe inspection will need to be done.
Kitchen Drains
The constant exposure to grease, soap and food adds up to drains that run slowly and clog over time. If you notice the plumbing lines in your kitchen draining slowly contact one of the local, licensed clogged drain repair plumber from Best Plumbers® to fix the problem. Addressing drain cleaning issues early can end up saving you a lot of money in the long run.
Toilet Drains
Toilet paper is designed and manufactured to disintegrate. Facial tissue, baby wipes or other household products are not. Flushing anything other than toilet paper is what causes toilets to clog.
Shower and Tub Drains
Water should drain immediately when you're showering and in just a few minutes after a bath. If it's draining slowly, your tub or shower trap and drainpipe is probably clogged with soap and hair, making a drain cleaning appointment inevitable.
Bathroom Sink Drains
Toothpaste, soap and grime can lead to slow draining and clogging. If you lose a piece of jewelry down the sink drain, don't run any more water. Call your local plumbing professional at Best Plumbers®. They will be able to retrieve the lost item without too much difficulty (as long as you have stopped running the water).

There are many things that can go wrong when it comes to plumbing, but one of the worst things that could happen, is a slab leak. There are many reasons this may occur. The worse reason is a crimp in the water line inside the slab. This often occurs from soil settling under and around the foundation.
When you suspect a slab leak, you should do a simple water meter test. First, locate your meter. Second, make sure all of the water is turned off in the the property. Everything from running toilets to washing machines. Make certain everything is shut off.
Since all of the water is shut off in the property, the water meter shouldn't move at all.
Take a picture of the water meter with a camera on your cell phone, come back 30 minutes later. The meter should read the same as the picture on your phone 30 minutes later if all water is shut off inside the property. If all devices are shut off and there is movement on your water meter, you have a leak. There is a chance you have a slab leak. It is always wise to contact a plumbing professional from Best Plumbers® that specializes in leak detection to find the leak in your plumbing system.
Video pipe inspection is required for any sewer line repair or replacement, and has become one of the most valuable services in the plumbing industry. This is when a small, waterproof video camera is inserted into the interior of the sewer pipe and sends back live video of the condition of the sewer line and the sewer line blockage or sewer line leak. Video pipe inspection equipment can determine the exact location and depth of the sewer line damage from above ground. Often, this technology enables the plumber to do spot repairs on the sewer line. This can save thousands of dollars in sewer line replacement costs. Video pipe inspections can tell if you have root intrusion, separated pipes, a broken pipe or offset pipe joints.
Before you get any estimates on a sewer repair project, make certain a thorough video pipe inspection has been done by an experienced plumber.
The Video Pipe Inspection Process
A flexible rod with a high-resolution video camera on the tip is inserted into pipes from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter. The flexible rod that is inserted into the plumbing system allows the camera to travel through the pipe (even around corners and bends in the plumbing pipe) to see an inside view of the entire plumbing system. Live video transmission gives the technician the ability to determine the condition of the plumbing from the inside. Video pipe inspection allows the plumbing technician to fully understand any existing problems. If there is a blockage in the plumbing, it enables the plumbing technician to pinpoint the exact location of the blockage. All of the video and information obtained in the video pipe inspection can be saved as a permanent record.
Common Sewer Problems
Sewer repair is necessary to remedy many common plumbing problems in older sewer lines. Usually, unless there was some kind of accident, sewer line damage happens over time. The largest cause of sewer line damage is roots that grow through cracked sewer lines. One small crack in a sewer line can make it the target for a root system to take hold and block or destroy the pipe. You can use sewer line cleaning to remove roots, but this is only a temporary solution because there is still a crack in the sewer line. The more you use drain cleaning equipment to scrape out and cut through the clog, or use harmful chemicals to destroy the roots, you are applying more wear and tear on the pipe itself. Eventually that section of the sewer line is going to have to be replaced.
Sewer Installation
Sewer repair might not work for some older pipes, so sewer installation (replacement) is the next step. The plumbers listed in Best Plumbers® for sewer line replacement offer complete solutions, and this includes the entire sewer installation, from the house to the main. There is no need to search anywhere else because Best Plumbers® lists many different qualified professionals in your local area for complete sewer line replacement.

Water Heater Leaks
This is the most common water heater issue that customers call the professionals ate Best Plumbers® about. There is usually a leak when there is a puddle around the bottom of the water heater. When a leak occurs, this is usually due to a crack in the internal tank and replacement is necessary. Over a period of time water minerals can react with steel, which will corrode the heating tanks. Once this occurs, it is necessary for a replacement to occur. Sometimes however, you may not have to replace the entire water heater. Call a plumbing professional from Best Plumbers®. If the leak originates from the top it may be able to be repaired by replacing a water heater part.
No Hot Water or Not Enough Hot Water
Another common water heater repair issue is no hot water. If you have a gas heater and there is no hot water this can usually be attributed to the pilot light going out. You can light the pilot light yourself, however if you have never done it or are not sure how you should go about it, do not hesitate to call a professional from Best Plumbers®. When you are dealing with gas water heaters it can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. However if you find that you have no hot water with an electric tank it would be a good idea to check your breaker to see if the breaker has tripped. In the instance that there is not enough hot water and you have ensured that the tank is not leaking, you can flush the tank so that mineral deposits are not reducing its efficiency. Generally as your heater ages sediment build-up will occur, decreasing the amount of hot water that the heater can produce. This is when flushing the tank is necessary for a quick water heater repair. These are just a couple of common issues that most people have experienced with both electric and gas water heaters.

How to Find a Really Good Plumber
Usually, the need for a plumber will come unannounced. Making a good choice on a plumber is essential to getting your home's plumbing systems back on the right track. Don't just pick the first name you see on the Internet or in the yellow pages - take a few minutes to make an educated plumbing decision. There are, unfortunately, many less-than-perfect plumbers out there, and so steering clear of them and heading to an honest professional plumber should be your goal.
These steps will help you navigate your way to a really good plumber:
Look through the local listings on Best Plumbers®. This site will make it easy to see the important plumbing information you need to make your decision. A really good plumber is likely to have full information available through their website online. Best Plumbers® provides access to their websites in the links provided in their plumbing listings.
Carefully read the basic information about a plumber. Find out details such as how long they've been in the plumbing industry, their level of experience with your type of plumbing issue (some plumbers may focus more on commercial premises, or installation of plumbing in new homes, for example).
Read the online plumbing reviews. This is where previous customers get to tell you about their experiences with a plumber. A really good plumber should have left a long trail of happy customers. Don't be alarmed if the odd review is less than 100% praise - it's impossible to make all the people happy all the time. But just be sure you are comfortable with what people say.
Check out their social media presence. Not all plumbers will be highly active online, but many will often have a Facebook page or even Twitter account. These can give you an idea of how proactive the plumber is when interacting with customers. A recently updated page can be an indicator they are actively seeking out new business.
Make an enquiry, either by email or phone, stating your exact needs, and asking for a formal plumbing quote. A reliable plumber will be more than happy to provide you with a no-obligation quote in writing. Make a note of their response time, because this could indicate how responsive they will be should you have a plumbing problem with their work. It should be relatively easy to directly compare the quotes from multiple plumbers - you are, after all, seeking exactly the same work from each plumber. The prices quoted should be transparent and include all fees and taxes. Don't be tripped up by hidden costs after you hire a plumber!
If a license to carry out this type of work is needed in your jurisdiction, make sure they have the correct paperwork. This might be a general business license or an industry-specific accreditation. They should also have liability insurance in case something goes wrong with their work. In many areas this is a legal requirement. Because of the nature of plumbing work, a bad installation can prove highly costly for even a simple plumbing mistake, with water damage being extensive. Be sure they're covered for all possible plumbing disasters.
If the plumbing company you select is a firm of more than one plumber, ask how many years experience the plumber who will be attending your home has. The range of plumbing experience between plumbers within one plumbing company can be wide.
Once you've found a really good plumber, be sure to ask them to explain what they have done, and how they've done it. They should be able to tell you what plumbing parts, if any, they are fitted.
After your plumbing task is finished be sure to review the plumber online - not only does this help future potential plumbing customers, but if your review is positive then you will also be rewarding a good plumber for their good honest work.
Also, remember to tell you friends and family to reference Best Plumbers® the next time they are searching for a good plumber.

The Bentonville Lady Tigers showed why they are two-time defending Neosho Holiday Classic champions Thursday night.
The Bentonville Lady Tigers showed why they are two-time defending Neosho Holiday Classic champions Thursday night.
They took on a much younger McDonald County team, defeating them 56-14. Bentonville has four returning starters from last year, while the Lady Mustangs only have one in sophomore Preslea Reece.
"Not taking anything away from Bentonville, they are a great team," Lady Mustangs coach LaDonna McClain said. "They are more experienced, they make their shots and they have depth. We're a young team and we're suffering from growing pains. They were able to put too much pressure on us and we're just not able to handle it, yet. I told the team the only way to get better is play, and they did."
Trouble started early for the Lady Mustangs when Reece, the leading scorer from their first game of the tournament, was charged with three fouls halfway into the first quarter. McClain pulled her, giving the added height advantage to Bentonville.
At the end of the first quarter the Lady Tigers had a seven-point advantage, 11-4.
The Lady Tigers tightened their grip on the Lady Mustangs by knocking in 23 points in the second quarter, verses the Lady Mustangs' one.
The Lady Mustangs came back in the second half with Reece on the court, which helped dampen Bentonville's dominance under the boards. The Lady Tigers had controlled the boards for a quarter and half, but with Reece back in, and with help from teammate Cendy Garcia, who picked up two of McDonald County's points, the Lady Mustangs were back in business.
Or so it seemed. In the end, however, the deficit was too much, and the Lady Tigers hit seven three-pointers in the game to put it away.
The Lady Mustangs where able to slow the Lady Tigers' scoring in the third quarter and managed to hold them to four points in the fourth.
Taylor Lee led the Lady Tigers with 13 points while Kindal Coleman turned in 10, Regan Laird two, Jordan Martin eight, Brooke Mabeus four, Deanna Adkins eight, Rashaun Casey eight and Jamayne Potts three.
Reece led McDonald County with eight, Baili Nelson two, Courtni Smith one, Sarah Rickman two and Macy Swink one.

Shakespeare and Company, Paris: A History of the Rag & Bone Shop of the Heart
edited by Krista Halverson
reviewed by Carl Landauer
One of my teachers, Austryn Wainhouse, the translator of De Sade (first under the pseudonym Pieralassandro Casavini in Paris but later as a staple of Grove Press), inspired me on my first trip to Paris to make a pilgrimage to Shakespeare and Company just across from Notre Dame. At the time, I was unaware of the difference between Sylvia Beach's interwar Shakespeare and Company on rue de l'Odéon, which had published Joyce's Ulysses and was second home (sometimes even the mailing address) for the lost generation of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Dos Passos, and George Whitman's postwar book store, first named Librairie le Mistral, only to be renamed Shakespeare and Company in 1964, reportedly with Sylvia Beach's blessing. But if Whitman's shop was not a hub of the epochal interwar anglophone avant-garde community in Paris, the world of Joyce and Pound, of transition and Ford Maddox Ford's Transatlantic Review, it became a hub of the English-speaking avant-garde in the middle of the postwar Paris of Existentialism, the nouveau roman of Robbe-Grillet, absurdist theater, the movies of the New Wave of Truffaut, Godard, and others, the twilight of Surrealism, and May '68. read more

An Interview with Cecilia Woloch
by Amy Pence
It's tough to keep track of the poet Cecilia Woloch. In the spring, you'll find her teaching in a small college in Georgia. By May, she's in a Paris café, surrounded by aspiring poets enrolled in her workshop. July finds her in that small cabin in the Carpathians, tracking down the mystery of her Roma grandmother. The title of her first novel Sur la Route…perfectly captures Woloch's on-the-road lifestyle where travel and poetry interweave. read more

Jack Mueller, Judith, and baby Cristina in the basement of City Lights, after a reading in January 1982. Jack deliberately posed the family in front of that painted sign, "Born in Sin and Shapen in Iniquity." They said it came from the time when City Lights' basement had housed a church. For Jack, I think, it was a kind of inside joke, sort of carrying on our old Vesuvio's argument over "Don't give me God, don't give me grammar!"
Jack Mueller: Still Solid in the Mystery
Amor Fati: New and Selected Poems
reviewed by Gerald Nicosia
…there are other poets who decide early on that they want to spend their lives making better poetry every day, and that the chase of fame will only get in their way, so they put it completely out of mind and instead work on figuring out ways to stay alive while they're making their poetry. Jack Mueller was the latter kind of poet; and in that regard, he was the most remarkable non-famous poet I've ever known. read more

A Few Notes On David Meltzer
Visionary With Red-Hot Coins (1936-2016)
by Jack Foley
I wrote my first poem at eleven. It came through me and out of me, a combination of vision and transmission. Maybe "trance-mission" would be more accurate. I was in the center of its energy like a glass or lens where words not light come through.

The Poetry of Ulalume González de León
by Terry Ehret
I discovered Mexican poet Ulalume González de León in the fall of 1982 as one of thirty-odd students in Frances Mayes's very first graduate workshop on the prose poem at San Francisco State. Our text, Michael Benedikt's The Prose Poem: An International Anthology, featured a long prose poem in fifteen parts, "Anatomy of Love." I was instantly enthralled by the language: a richly erotic imagery blending anatomical and scientific vocabulary in an unconventional syntax. read more

The Night's Brandon McMillan Sheds Light on His Wild Side
The Night's Brandon McMillan Sheds Light on His Wild Side
Move over Travis from Greatest American Dog! There's a new handsome animal-loving fella on during primetime. Brandon McMillan, 31-year-old animal trainer and host of Animal Planet's The Night, is a nature lover's dreamboat. He has no formal training himself, but he's trained lions, bears, tigers and reptiles for flicks like The Jungle Book II, I Am Sam and TV shows 24 and Jackass.
His current show, The Night, which premiered last month and airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m., is a dark look at what happens in the wild when the rest of us are cozied up in bed. Brandon goes on expeditions around the world to catch rare animal behaviors at night on camera. He recently chatted with OK!:
- On his unusual job: When girls ask me what I do and I say I'm a wild animal trainer, they think I'm lying. I was telling a story in a bar and the bartender thought I was drunk and kicked me out.
- On dangerous dates: My perfect date would be sitting in a Land Rover in Africa with a bottle of wine and some snacks...watching a lion kill.
- On being fearless: I've had lions, snakes, leopards and buffalo come at me. I've been bitten, but I've never truly been attacked. Ninety-nine point nine percent of people who are attacked don't live to tell the tale.
For a video preview of Brandon scoping out a mama hippo on the show,

Denosumab is injected under the skin, usually every 6 months.
Denosumab slows the formation and action of cells called osteoclasts. These are the cells that naturally break down bone. By slowing down the osteoclasts, denosumab allows bone to become more dense (thicker).
Denosumab is used for people who are at high risk for fractures related to decreased bone density.
In one large study denosumab was given to women every 6 months for 3 years. These women were compared to women who received an injection of liquid that did not contain the medicine (placebo). The women who were given denosumab had much less risk of breaking a bone, such as a spine or hipbone, than the women who were given the placebo.1
Androgen-deprivation therapy is known to decrease bone density. A study of men having androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer compared a group of men who also received denosumab to a group who did not. The men who received denosumab had increased bone density and fewer spine fractures.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Problems with bone healing, particularly after dental surgery, have been found in some people who are taking denosumab. If you are taking denosumab and need dental surgery, talk with your doctor.
If you are taking denosumab, you should also take calcium and vitamin D supplements.
People who have very low calcium (hypocalcemia) should not take denosumab.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
