case study
Using a CSS Framework in a
Large Organization
So the other day Tadd linked up some work in progress code which hinted that we are using the Blueprint CSS framework in some of our sites under development.
This decision went through many heated debates internally where some were excited for it, and others were repulsed.
So what were the reasons behind the need for looking into a framework?
case study
Visiting with Rob a few days ago about our role as experience architects, he mentioned that we are creators and that our work is to lead people.
My first thoughts when he said those words were about Heavenly Father: how He is the Master Creator and how His entire work is centered around leading people. As our Father, he is the ultimate architect, crafting experiences—such as our lives on this Earth—to lead us and to guide us so that we may become like Him and return Home to live with Him again. I then thought of His Son, Jesus Christ, and how He completed the largest and most significant design project in the history of this world when he lead and orchestrated it's creation.

According to a new report by the Exchange-hosting company Intermedia, 48.5 percent of small business users are accessing work email with iPhones.
Blackberry devices clocked in at 25 percent, with Android and "Other" bringing up the rear.
Intermedia CEO Jonathan McCormick:
Staying in sync with the office regardless of time or day has become imperative in most industries. But securely supporting the different smartphone options can drain an in-house IT manager's resources.
With services like Google Apps growing in popularity, it's hard to say how these numbers will change in the future.

The main mission of the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University is to educate doctors who understand their profession primarily as a mission. Such an approach obliges LFUK to become not only a learning base providing the opportunity to acquire quality knowledge at today's medical science level, but also an institution shaping the moral and personal profile of its graduates. In addition, the LFUK is the basis of scientific research, thus enabling its students to communicate the knowledge of their alma mater, thus contributing to the formation of the relationship between the student and the faculty. The mission of the Faculty of Medicine in the field of medical and preventive medicine is to represent the application of theoretical and practical knowledge in everyday medical practice, which should significantly exceed the usual national and in some areas also European average. LFUK is the leading institution of medical education. The role of the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University is the undergraduate education of students, within which they acquire general medical education. General and dental medicine is taught in Slovak and English. LFUK provides higher education not only in the area of undergraduate education, but also in postgraduate education in the form of study programs in the specialized study in the medical profession of doctor, training courses and doctoral studies. The training of new researchers takes the form of a doctoral study, which has two forms: full-time and part-time.
The Faculty of Medicine of Charles University in Bratislava is therefore an institution of lifelong medical education. In its modernization, LFUK will focus on finding its own way in the process of transformation with a high level of responsibility for the quality of education provided to young doctors. The key activities of LFUK will include improving the quality of scientific outputs and doctoral studies, increasing the number of foreign students, increasing the share of grant funds in the budget and improving its spatial background. The main priorities of the Faculty of Medicine and its defined activities are focused on the priority of the government - forming a knowledge society, especially in the area of investment in people.

It's always an exciting time here at Maytree HQ when we release a new cover out into the world but even more so when it features artwork by one of our favourite artists that we've been keeping under wraps for the last eight months.
For Jonathan's cover there was certainly a case of a wind change after a butterfly had flapped its wings somewhere. We had known from an early stage, possibly as soon as we had received Jonathan's manuscript, that we wanted to use Suzi Thompson's artwork on the cover. Both David and Amanda are huge fans of Suzi's work and have had the privilege of visiting her at her South Yorkshire studio as well as indulging in some prints which are strongly represented at galleries local to Maytree's home.
The decision to use Suzi's work was way back in those heady free days of summer 2019 so in many ways the idea was firmly put to the back of our minds whilst other work took priority. That was until the Marsden Jazz Festival in October when Jonathan made the journey across the Pennines and also stumbled into those same galleries and was introduced to Suzi's work. We'd already had the go ahead from Suzi so imagine our delight when Jonathan began mentioning how much he enjoyed her work – we're rubbish at keeping secrets so had to let him know that his new found favourite artist was also going to be his cover artist. I think we made a poet very happy that day. Fledge features the artwork, Edgelands. We had to crop the original version a tiny bit so that it would fit so here's the original version:
Fledge will be released on the 31 July 2020. It's a wonderful evocative collection with it's heart set firmly in the natural world. A delightful read for summer 2020.
Many of our regular readers will be familiar with Jonathan's work, particularly as a reviewer but for those who have missed out you can find out more from his entertaining blog northern jim
Suzi is represented by galleries across the UK and also has a wonderful website and online gallery which you can find here

On at least five occasions over the last century, residents of Chestnut Street opened their wardrobes and their houses, donning period clothing while giving house tours on a succession of "Chestnut Street Days" celebrating the apparel, architecture, and culture of Salem's golden age. The first Chestnut Street was in 1926, organized to recognize Salem's Tercentenary, and the last was sometime in the 1970s: I'm not sure precisely when but I'm assuming it must have been around the Bicentennial? I've posted on these occasions before, but just the other day a very nice man sent me a photograph of the first Chestnut Street Day which I'd never seen before, so I thought I would do so again: we have lots of new residents on the street who are probably completely unaware of these happenings. I also delved into the press coverage a bit and was amazed by the number of headlines the 1939 and 1947 Chestnut Street Days generated: my title is derived from my favorite, "Heavy Silken Skirts Rustle Again at Salem's Chestnut St.Day Preview", from the May 27, 1947 edition of the Boston Globe.
This preview was followed up by no less than seven articles in the Globe over the next month, covering every little detail of the organization and occasion of the 1947 Chestnut Street Day: Luncheon Waitresses Chosen for Chestnut Street Day in Salem (all Misses, for the luncheon at Hamilton Hall, the beneficiary of this particular Chestnut Street Day), Salem's Beautiful Old Houses to be Open for Chestnut Street Day (30 that year!), It Took Two Months to Ripen the 4th of July Rum Punch in Salem (no aspect of the life of "Old-Time Sea Captains" was left uncovered by either the organizers of the Day or the press), and finally, on the eve of the big day:
There was definitely a big emphasis on the "garb", for both men and women, some of which still resides on the street in storage at Hamilton Hall but most of which was sold a few years ago, as I recall. Historic New England also has some clothing in their collection–and films of Chestnut Street days–from the Phillips family. Every piece of evidence indicates that no detail was spared: clothing, food, furnishings carriages, games, house flags, flowers. These days were huge undertakings, apparently involving everyone of every age on the street: a real community effort and display of pride of place. Here are some images from a succession of Chestnut Street Days, beginning with the great family photo I just received and proceeding up to 1952. I don't have any 1970s images: I wish someone would fill me in on that particular occasion and send photos!
Chestnut Street Day 1926: Family photograph courtesy of Jim Trumball; Tom Sanders and his horses and carriage courtesy Martha Sanders; Felicie Ward Howell, "Salem's 300th Anniversary, Chestnut Street, June, 1926", Christie's.
1939: Flyer featuring Samuel Chamberlain's "Springtime in Salem"; another carriage and team of horses; two ladies buying Salem's famous Gibralters from Mrs. Mary E. Barker in period dress, Dionne Collections, Salem State University Archives and Special Collections.
1947 and 1952: One of MANY photographs and stories about the "famous" Chestnut Street Day in the Boston (and even New York) press, and a ticket to the 1952 Day, which featured 25 open houses.

Men's Yoga in Bristol
After being asked about it for ages by some of my male students and friends, we've finally decided to start up a new men's yoga class at YogaSpace on Saturday mornings (9.30am, all levels of fitness and stiffness welcome!).
Update since 2013 when we first published this - the class didn't last and the numbers coming were low, but there are men in most of our classes and they are very welcome.
Men's yoga isn't different necessarily, but it is nice to be in a group where you feel comfortable and men tend to be stiffer than women, particularly in the legs and back, and in need of better core strength, all yoga classes help improve these areas.
Traditionally yoga was only for men and it is only the last 50 years or so that it has been opened up to women by yoga teaching pioneers such as Krishnamacharya and Iyengar.
So tell your friends and blokes who would benefit from a bit more strength, flexibility and de-stressing in their lives!
Men welcome to all classes at Bristol YogaSpace.

How to stand out on your rental application
Our tips for impressing the real estate agent and making the rental property yours.
Loan Market mortgage broker, Fiona McLean has launched a community initiative to raise money for the Starlight Children's Foundation throughout September and October.
For every loan that she settles during this period, Fiona will donate $100 to Starlight. A committed supporter of the Foundation, Fiona says she knows all too well the good work that Starlight does.
"I have four beautiful children and two of them suffer from life-threatening illnesses. My ten year old son has been granted his wish from Starlight to be a dolphin trainer and my nine year old is regularly in hospital. His stays are made easier and his days a brighter because of the Starlight team," she explains.
"They make him feel like he's not in hospital."
Fiona and her two kids featured on the NRL footy show as part of the launch of the programme's Starlight Telethon. Fiona told her story and her two boys, Joel and Bailey, met their football idol, Billy Slater.
"I decided that if our family story could help raise awareness and money for Starlight then it's worth sharing it. Filming the segment was great fun for the boys too, they got to spend half a day with Billy Slater and he was great with the kids," Fiona said.
Fiona decided to join Loan Market as a mortgage broker to give her more flexibility to be there for her kids. She decided while the footy show as raising money for Starlight, she could too.
"Having sick kids can be really expensive and it's hard for us as a family to donate a significant amount of money to Starlight, that's why I decided to run an initiative through my business.
"Every loan that I settle in September and October will be another $100 donation to Starlight. And the best news is that working with me doesn't cost my clients a cent, I get paid by the successful lender."
Understanding that it might not be the right time for a lot of people to take out a loan, Fiona explains that there are other ways to get involved.
"Making a donation directly to Starlight – no matter how much – will make a difference. This is a foundation that relies on the generosity of Australians to keep going. I know first hand how much joy Starlight brings to the kids they work with and I hope I can contribute in some small way to other children and families who are going through tough times," she said.

text: A CD cleverly titled 44 Waltzes on 88 Keys gives pianist Peter Schaaf the unusual opportunity to present waltzes in easy-to-compare-and-contrast groups: a brief "Schubert group" and somewhat longer groupings by Brahms, Dvořák and Ravel. The result is a fascinating overview of the waltz from the early 19th century to the early 20th, albeit without material from the Viennese waltz masters (it is worth remembering Brahms' famous autograph of the first few bars of Johann Strauss Jr.'s Blue Danube: "Unfortunately not by Johannes Brahms"). The 12-waltz Schubert set, written in 1828, near the end of the composer's life, sparkles: most of these little gems run less than a minute and only one is longer than two minutes, yet within their brief compass they tantalizingly inveigle themselves into the ear, evanescing almost as soon as they start. They are trifles, true, but highly charming ones, and Schaaf's delicate touch fits them wonderfully. The 16 Brahms waltzes date to 1865 and were a direct tribute the Viennese waltz, with one of them, in A-flat, becoming highly popular on its own, if not quite at Blue Danube level. These are also short works—once again, only a single one lasts more than two minutes—but they have plenty of lilt and rhythmic panache. Schaaf plays the more difficult of the two solo-piano versions that Brahms made, but no strain is evident in his performance: everything flows smoothly, and the contrasts among the works—seven of which are in minor keys, scarcely the norm for waltzes—come through especially well. The real find on this disc is the eight-waltz group by Dvořák, which dates to 1879 and is rarely heard. Anyone listening to Schaaf's performance will wonder why. These are significantly more substantial works than those of Schubert or Brahms, filled with mood and tempo contrasts and containing distinct Slavonic elements. Three of the eight are in minor keys, and it is tempting to see this set as somehow tied to Brahms' Op. 39, just as Dvořák's Slavonic Dances are tied to Brahms' Hungarian Dances. But the comparison in this case is inconsequential: the Dvořák waltzes set their own standards and their own moods, and their harmonies are quite different from those of Brahms. Perhaps it is their musical complexity that has kept them from popularity—they have more depth than the pleasant but rather superficial Schubert and Brahms sets—but Schaaf's warmly knowing performance argues strongly that these pieces deserve more-frequent hearing. After all these delights, Ravel's set of eight Valses nobles et sentimentales is a bit of a letdown. Dating to 1911, these works clearly come from a different age, a time when the waltz was already a trifle faded, if not yet the symbol of a bygone era that Ravel made it after World War I in his La Valse. Mostly concise in expression except for the final, slow, extended work in G, the Valses nobles et sentimentales seem, somewhat paradoxically, to be frozen in their time in a way that the sets by Schubert, Brahms and Dvořák do not. Schaaf plays the Ravel with as much skill and understanding as he brings to the other waltz sequences—it is just that this final waltz series comes from a very different set of sensibilities, making it a bit out of keeping with the rest of the music here. Given Schaaf's exemplary pianism, though, it is possible just to sit back and enjoy the entire disc, ignoring any philosophical musings.

Green Day Announce North American Club Tour + European Arena Trek
Green Day have just announced an intimate North American tour! The punk-rock titans will embark on a monthlong string of dates beginning Sept. 20 in St. Louis, Mo. That trek will be followed by an arena tour of Europe in early 2017.
Green Day's 12th studio album, Revolution Radio, will drop on Oct. 7, so fans will likely hear a decent amount of new material. Recorded in Oakland, Calif., Revolution Radio promises 12 tracks of "angst-ridden anthems that unites Green Day's fully formed stylistic approach with lyrical themes that address the complexities and uncertainties of modern day existence."
The California trio already shared the new cut "Bang Bang," which is written from the perspective of a mass shooter. "It's about the culture of mass shootings that happens in America mixed with the narcissistic social media," Billie Joe Armstrong tells Rolling Stone. "There's this sort of rage happening, but it's also now being filmed and we all have ourselves under surveillance. To me, that is so twisted. To get into the brain of someone like that was freaky. It freaked me out. After I wrote it, all I wanted to do was get out of my brain because it just freaked me out."
Tickets will be available for Idiot Nation members beginning Sept. 7 at 9AM local time. The general public will be able to grab tickets Sept. 9 at 9AM local time. After Green Day finish up their North American club shows, they'll head over to Europe in early 2017 for an arena tour. Check out all the upcoming gigs below.

Understanding Model View Controller in ASP.NET MVC
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern was introduced in the 1970s. It is a software design pattern that splits an application into three main aspects : Model, View and Controller. Moreover, MVC pattern forces a separation of concerns within an application for example, separating data access logic and business logic from the UI.
Model - The "M" in "MVC"
The Model represents a set of classes that describes the business logic and data. It also defines business rules for how the data can be changed and manipulated.
Moreover, models in Asp.Net MVC, handles the Data Access Layer by using ORM tools like Entity Framework or NHibernate etc. By default, models are stored in the Models folder of the project.
The Model can be broken down into several different layers as given below:
Objects or ViewModel Layer
This layer contains simple objects or complex objects which are used to specify strongly-typed view. These objects are used to pass data from controller to strongly-typed view and vice versa. The classes for these objects can have specific validation rules which are defined by using data annotations. Typically, these classes have those properties which you want to display on corresponding view/page.
Data Access Layer
This layer provides objects to access and manipulate the database of your application. Typically, this layer is made by using ORM tools like Entity Framework or NHibernate etc.
Business Layer
This layer helps you to implement your business logic and validations for your application. This layer make use of Data Access Layer for persisting data into database. Also, this layer is directly invoked by the Controller to do processing on input data and sent back to view.
View - The "V" in "MVC"
The View is responsible for transforming a model or models into UI. The Model is responsible for providing all the required business logic and validation to the view. The view is only responsible for displaying the data, that is received from the controller as the result.
Moreover, views in Asp.Net MVC, handles the UI presentation of data as the result of a request received by a controller. By default, views are stored in the Views folder of the project.
Controller - The "C" in "MVC"
The Controller is responsible for controlling the application logic and acts as the coordinator between the View and the Model. The Controller receive input from users via the View, then process the user's data with the help of Model and passing the results back to the View.
Moreover, controllers in Asp.Net MVC, respond to HTTP requests and determine the action to take based upon the content of the incoming request. By default, controllers are stored in the Controllers folder of the project.

You evaluated several vendors, put together a legion like team, and chose your data exchange model. The team designed everything from scratch, restructured IT at all ends, and aligned your B2B networks including technologies, processes, applications, data, etc. with your partners. But after few months of setting up the B2B network, your IT reverts to old, manual workflows for enabling connectivity between partners.
You tried doing everything right yet it all went wrong. Why?
Conventional data exchange models look attractive, they promise several cloud benefits like faster deployment, elastic scalability, and greater control. However, they cannot return the answers for orchestrating a partner to partner data exchange process and monetizing B2B networks. Enterprises can miss out on several opportunities as IT wastes several months of time in building connections with other partner organizations that have distinct IT models and data formats.
Today's B2B networks don't have the ability to write their own integrations. They rely on heavy technical support for building integrations. The developers spend several months of time for building integrations. Business teams have to wait till the time these connections are built. Enterprises miss out on business opportunities and time to revenue during this process.
Successful companies are the ones which can create quick connections and deliver products quickly without delay. They are able to connect multiple vendors, partners and establishing connectivity between them. By connecting high thought put technologies in a seamless manner they are able to share data and reach revenue faster.
Self-Service Integration is the Key to Counteract Data Issues
Many enterprises are still relying on older methods to create integrations which are radically difficult to use. However, they are facing the same old challenges with this approach and reverting back to older methods.
Self-service integration is a novel approach that allows modern-day enterprises to build integrations. It enables enterprises to deal with an intensifying barrage of data and source it to different systems without heavy engineering and technical coding.

In languages without operator overloading you're most likely to see all color manipulation formulas repeated 3-4 times, something like: new.r = (old.r + accent.r)/2; new.g = (old.g + accent.g)/2; new.b = (old.b + accent.b)/2; And then it forms nice r,g,b (or r,g,g: http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0260/ ;) This becomes super annoying when you have long names that don't align that well (in Sublime Text with multiple cursors I can edit 4-line r/g/b/a formulas as easily as if it was one line, but with red/green/blue/alpha I need to restrict myself to use more fiddly block copy&paste and word jumps). Of course it'd be less of an issue if JS was going to get some vector manipulation primitives or at least the color class itself had some way to blend colors and manipulate all components at the same time (which I suggest doing, as browsers could optimize that with SIMD). >> Also, conversions mean that you'll often get situations where if you >> set an integer and then read it right back you'll get a non-integer, >> due to precision loss during the conversion.

I'm pretty sure anyone working with JS is used to that sort of thing. It's not only a problem of float numeric precision. With HSL<>RGB it's just completely impossible to preserve values in some cases: color.h = x; color.l = 0; color.l = 1; color.h == ? If the color was stored internally as hsl, then h wouldn't change. If it were RGB internally, then h would be reset to 0, even though you only modified l (because setting l=0 gives rgb 0,0,0 and that resets everything). >> Finally, you'd have to decide which class to extend, which again means >> you have to understand colorspaces well enough to make an informed >> decision. > So one wants to *extend* the Color class with a new color format, write all the calculations for it, but still has no idea what color spaces are?

Say goodbye to a private accountant, and say hello to a full-service financial team. Akin, Doherty, Klein & Feuge, P.C. is the leading CPA firm in San Antonio, TX, that is paving the way for other firms to start offering all financial services in house. They offer the full spectrum of management, with services like estate planning, bookkeeping, payroll, CFO services, business consulting, tax filing, statements, audits, and more. It's a home run with this firm!
The Winning Team
Have you noticed there are a lot of options for CPA firms in San Antonio, TX? Maybe you don't even know where to start. It behooves you to find a firm that has strong relationships in your local community. With an onsite attorney and a staff of accountants and paraprofessionals, ADKF is a competitive team compared to other CPA firms in San Antonio, TX.
Some customers have been with CPA firms in San Antonio, TX, like Cook Martin Poulson for over twenty years, but how do you know your taxes were done properly in previous years or if you are entitled to more money?
Relationships Matter
If you walk into CPA firms in San Antonio, TX and get a cold feeling, turn around and walk right back out. You want a firm that is invested in your success and celebrates with you. If you don't get the feeling that they genuinely care about your life and your passions, let's be frank, they probably don't. Give your business to the people that are going to treat you with respect and attentiveness. If you feel like you can never get ahold of your accountant or their response time is unreasonably long, it's time to look to new horizons. You deserve to save your hard-earned money and not throw away more than you are required to. Stick with a team like ADKF that has over twenty years of experience.
Why choose a company with twenty years of experience? The tax filing process is complicated because regulations and laws change constantly. Not only that, but there are also many laws that people with time in the industry have had the opportunity to learn through experience. A novice CPA can't possibly know what a veteran CPA knows because of a lack of road time. They are fresh out of the gate and won't be able to have as many tools in their belt to find ways to save you money. If you are looking to free up your time, let someone else process your payroll, pay your bills, and balance your checkbook so you can get back to the people and things that you love and inspire you.

Most mornings I do a quick perusal of my Facebook Newsfeed. I came across an article that made my heart ache a couple of weeks ago. I ended up taking a few minutes to jot down some thoughts in a quick post. This "quick post" has gotten pretty high approval ratings Lol and I've decided to delve more deeply into the societal issues that were on my heart when I wrote the first post. Here is a lengthier, more controversial, but heartfelt cry to those who don't want to respect the rules of my "houses".
Whether it is the obliteration of the possibility of offense or the idolatry of sensitivity, we've seen a lot of attack on traditional faith values, particularly when it comes to the hot button topic of gender issues. This traditional value crosses religious lines. When it comes to this one issue, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have common agreement. It's true that in Christianity, some denominations are splitting over this issue and they have the right to do so. Those who follow a traditional reading of Scripture disagree with the view that scripture evolves or is dictated by ever-changing culture. Islam is not without it's inner debates. Some conservative Western born Muslim women disagree with the traditional Islamic view of women and children as being inferior to men. The differences need to be respected, not suppressed or banned. Right now there is pressure for churches and individuals to not teach or share their faith values because what they believe may offend someone else. In some cases, it's being touted as hate speech or at the very least…a phobia. Tolerance, one of the gods of the early 2000s has lost it's luster for a more sinister god, that in my view, lacks basic common sense. Instead of tolerance, society is being duped by the doctrine of compliance.
In other words, there is a segment of society that wants me to change my house rules to comply with their worldview. Right now the attack has begun with houses of faith and houses of self-enterprise. I pray the day never comes when the attack comes to your personal house or mine. Why, oh why can these various "houses" just be respected for having different worldviews and left alone? Let's be neighbors and respect each other's individual intellectual property when it comes to belief and speech. I learned the importance of this at a very young age as a young black girl living in a mostly white suburb.
When I was young, we lived in a community with a mixture of Jewish people, Catholics, and Protestants. It was okay to acknowledge the differences and not be insulted or offended. I learned that my 4th grade buddy Jonathan's family ate matzah and didn't believe Jesus was God. His mom let me try matzah. I didn't like it. He invited me to his birthday party at the Jewish Community Center. I was the only black person. Despite feeling a little overwhelmed by the cultural differences, I was ok. Jonathan and his family liked me. We played together almost daily, trying to figure out how to sell our "furniture" that was made from sticks and Ohio buckeyes. No one back then got afraid, indignant or nervous that one of us was going to proselytize the other. My few Catholic friends also had some different beliefs. I went to a mass once and decided at eleven that I liked my faith better. My friend wasn't offended. It was normal to respect differences of opinion. It was fine for each of my friends to think "our" way was the best and not be offended or feel discriminated against. I'd never expect Jonathan's mom to serve me ham, just because I like ham. When in each other's houses, Jewish, Catholic, or Protestant, we knew to respect "house rules" even if we didn't participate or personally agree with them. We never got offended and thought that the "house rules" were discriminatory towards us. It was our choice to go to that friend's house or not.
I miss that era. If people come to my house, house of faith, the business I own etc, they should respect me and the "rules" of my houses. It's their choice to come or not. We can still be friends even if we don't agree with the tenets the other's faith, lifestyle decisions, or worldviews. We can do what my friends and I did as kids: know there are differences and not be offended by them. We don't have to take their differences of opinion as an affront to our well-being. I had one childhood friend whose "house rules" were uncomfortable to me. Therefore I didn't go into her house. We played outside.
I hope in this present era that my house, your house, our individual houses of faith, self-employment venues etc will be respected for their "house rules": tenets, beliefs, worldviews. I don't like the taste of matzah, You may not believe that Jesus is God. There's no reason for offense to be taken, just understanding to be offered.
Do you remember the adage that you learned as a child, "Respect your neighbor's property"? My parents instilled in us an understanding that while we share a neighborhood, each property line distinguishes boundaries of ownership. My small four street neighborhood right outside of Shaker Heights, Ohio had a block party one summer. It was a wonderful experience! I remember zooming down the street on my bicycle with kids that I knew and some that I'd never met before. We shared food and fun. However, an unspoken rule remained as I looked around. No one, but no one stepped onto the lawn or driveway of another property owner. We stayed in the street, the area that belonged to us all. I was impressed.
If a person goes into a house of faith, whatever the spiritual tradition, there is an unspoken rule, or understanding, that you now comply with or respect the "rules" of that house. I can't enter a mosque and expect to be served Holy Communion. I can't go into a Muslim country as a woman and expect them to let me roam freely without a burka. That would be rude.
Private businesses, schools, churches and homes reflect the values of their founders or owners. None of us wants someone else to come into our home or business and tell us that we have to never eat peanut butter because someone with a severe nut allergy may come over.
No civil authority has the right to censor religious doctrine or individual speech. There is a divine boundary line between state and individual. What is deemed private should never be violated by the ever-changing court of public opinion. We have a divine gift to believe what ever we perceive is Truth. Our lives reflect this Truth each day in our lifestyles and words. No state or law has the right to make us comply with something different. Traditional faith values as well as other worldviews deserve mutual respect. We do not have to agree with each other's "house rules" in order to live as neighbors.

Key Point: The data suggests that most people now joining the workforce in western countries could have more than 10 different jobs in their careers. So with all that change, does it make sense to REALLY get to know, care for and invest in the people we work with? Here is one data point that could influence your thinking on this question.
"A Harvard study that followed 268 sophomores from the late 1930s and early 1940s over the course of their adult lives showed that the single most important predictor of successful aging, defined by physical and mental health and satisfaction with life at age 75, wasn't cholesterol level, treadmill endurance or intelligence. It was having close relationships. Based on the extensive data collected over seven decades, the author concluded: "The only things that matter in life are your relations to other people."
I have enjoyed working with 9 different companies in three different countries over 42 years since completing my undergraduate work. I have literally loved working with almost all teammates in every organization. (Yes, there are a few exceptions). And I can sincerely state that I have stayed connected to people from each one of these organizations. The investment I've put in caring and getting to know them is more than worth it, even though in many cases, I see or talk to them all too rarely. I genuinely miss my concentrated working time with them. My relationships with the people I have worked with help define whether I have added any real value to the world. So while the Harvard study refers to the wider spectrum of relationships, especially family and friends, I believe our relationships at work have a very positive impact on our well being and sense of contribution.
Character Moves:
- Remind yourself that even though your tenure in companies is unpredictable and uncertain, the relationship between you and teammates is important and sustainable (if you work at it).
- It is not a trivial matter to invest in the relationships of those you work around you. If you care, you will come to know them in a deeply personal way. You will know who and what is important to them, (e.g., do you know the names of their partners and kids)? This includes who and what they love. This takes much personal energy and is an investment. Even if you, as a boss, might have to fire them one day, getting to know your entire team is imperative.
- Of course the deep, personal relationships you develop will ideally extend well beyond the people you work with. But the people you work with make up much of your daily life. They are worthy of your personal and authentic care. And do not be a "Matcher" by expecting reciprocal care and attention. Be strong and generous enough to invest and care about them without expecting reciprocity. Just give of yourself. Why?
- According to the data of the Harvard study, the ultimate winner when you invest in others is none other than you and your wellness.
Work relationships matter in the Triangle,

Adding White Clover to Grass-Based Grazing Systems Increases Milk ProductionIRELAND - Irish dairy farmers are finding renewed interest in white clover, says Michael Egan, a Teagasc researcher, writes Melanie Epp.
Mr Egan, who works at the Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation Centre in Moorepark, attributes this renewed interest partially to the rising cost of nitrogen, but also to the fact that dairy farmers have found that white clover gives extra nitrogen from increased N fixation.
Unexpectedly, his research also revealed that dairy cows that graze on grass and white clover swards show increased milk production.
Quick facts about white clover
While the general perception has been that white clover is not suitable in intensive grass-based milk production systems, that perception is beginning to change, said Mr Egan in a recent interview. Clover has poor spring growth due to low soil temperatures, he continued. But this challenge can be overcome.
Once established, though, white clover offers great potential. For one, he said, it may allow producers to reduce their use of chemical N fertiliser.
"In our experiment we have reduced nitrogen by 100 kg to 150 kg per hectare," he said. "However, it depends on your system and the amount of cows you are carrying."
If a reduction in fertiliser needs isn't enough to convince dairy producers to incorporate white clover into their systems, an increase in overall milk production just might. In his experiments Mr Egan found that white clover increased dairy cow milk production by as much as 15 per cent per cow.
"The results have been consistent for three years of the experiment," he said. "We have seen the increase in milk production from mid-June onwards."
The increase, he said, is caused by the high intake of higher quality swards. Clover sward quality tends to decrease at a slower rate than it does in grass.
In the months of May and June, perennial rye grass produces a stem in the vegetative stage. This causes a reduction in grass quality.
"By having clover in the sward, it helps maintain a higher quality sward as clover does not produce a stem like grass," explained Mr Egan. "This allows the cows to eat more."
White clover management tips
In a recent talk, Mr Egan provided tips for growers who might be thinking about working white clover into their grass-based systems. The best time to sow is usually late spring or early summer when the weather is good. Post-sowing management will help promote clover growth, but Mr Egan warns growers not to let grass get higher than the clover as it will prevent light from reaching the base of the sward.
Post-sowing, depending on the weather, it should be grassed approximately 6–8 weeks after. "A little test you can do is to walk into the field and pull some of the grass and clover by hand," said Mr Egan. "If the roots remain in the ground then it's ready to graze."
When grazing, it is important not to let the grass get too high.
"Again, it will prevent light reaching the base of the sward, and light is essential for clover growth," he reiterated. "By keeping the grass height low – approximately 18–21 days regrowth or a cover of 1400 kg DM/ha (2900 kg DM/ha in the UK) – by doing this it also allows you to graze the sward tight to the ground, to 4 cm residual."
"But the main thing is to let light to the base of the sward," he said. "Finally, you should also try and prevent damage to the sward at all times – in adverse weather conditions – as this will damage the clover and grass and reduce it in the sward."

14-year-old Kluiverth Roa was shot in the head on Tuesday on his way home from school in San Cristóbal, Venezuela. Roa's way home from school required him to pass through an anti-socialist protest; he was stopped by police almost immediately and shot in the head after witnesses say he yelled "stop the repression!"
San Cristóbal, Táchira, has become the focal point of much of Venezuela's struggle against the socialist government of President Nicolás Maduro. On Tuesday, residents of the city assembled yet again for a protest against "inflation, the scarcity of basic goods, and [political] repression."
La Nación, a Venezuelan newspaper based in San Cristóbal, reports that Roa was not in the area to participate in the protest, but walking home from school when a Bolivarian National Guard officer stopped him and, according to witnesses, slapped him in the head. Upon falling to the ground, witnesses saw the officer shoot Roa in the head and flee.
Witnesses captured Roa's final moments on video [WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES]:
Some witnesses told journalists they heard part of the exchange between Roa and the officer, and it was after Roa exclaimed, "stop the repression," that he was assaulted and ultimately killed.
The officer who shot Roa, seen fleeing the scene rapidly in the above video, has been identified as 23-year-old Javier Osias Mora Ortíz. While Venezuelan authorities claim the officer will be brought to justice, little information has surfaced regarding his whereabouts.
President Nicolás Maduro responded to the death on national television by blaming the protestors for inciting violence. According to a transcription of his remarks by Spanish newspaper ABC, Maduro told the Venezuelan public: "All preliminary information with witnesses… indicates that this was an act of violence occurring as a group of young men with capes were engaging in protest activities and the generation of violence."
Following his statement on Roa, Maduro was seen laughing heartily in conversation with Sports Minister Antonio Álvarez and working to produce the singing segment of his television program, In Contact with Maduro.
Speaking to La Nación, Roa's father Erick Roa attempted to describe his grief:
This is too big a loss for me, for my family. He was the youngest of my three children. He was a boy– too tall for his age and that's why he was at the Román Cárdenas basketball school– but he was a boy, my boy. I think that, with what has happened– with what is happening– Venezuela will react, it will have to react. And if it was the government, this won't stay like this. I am making a call to the authorities to clarify this and may whoever has to fall, fall.
Lilian Tintori, wife of political prisoner Leopoldo López, has organized a protest this week along with deposed deputy Maria Corina Machado, calling for Venezuelan mothers to flood the streets of Caracas calling for justice in the Roa case. The protest would follow an especially active week for the Venezuelan opposition. After a rally calling for the release of López on the one-year anniversary of his arrest, the Maduro regime responded with the arrest of Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma, who remains behind bars under a charge of conspiracy to foment a coup.

If you do not know yet, my elder girl has this innate love for insects, animals and anything that moves. Things that evoke fear in me, like spiders, lice and millipedes, I call them creepy crawlies, she calls them cute creatures. While I am sometimes appalled by how she is fascinated by them and that she is not terrified to be their friend, deep down I am grateful that she openly displays her love and affection for these living things.
One day, we were outside and saw ants crawling in the park. Instead of squatting down and scrutinising them like how she always did, she started to trample on them and told me "My friend in school said I must kill them". Hearing her use the word 'kill' horrified me as we had not taught her that at home. I gently explained to her that unless these insects threatened our safety or posed as a hazard in our house, we should let them live on and be kind to them instead of crushing them. That said, I knew it was time for me to explain to my soon-to-be 4-year-old on the meaning of words like 'kill' and 'die'.
If there is one thing that is perfectly legit to slay and for good reasons too, it is germs. We love to have fun with our children outdoors and this exposes them to a risk of infections. With a lively, vivacious elder kid who likes to lay her hands on everything she sees, germs can enter her body when she uses the same pair of hands to touch her face or rub her eyes. This may lead to infections like diarrhoea, influenza, acute respiratory diseases and even HFMD (Hand, foot and mouth disease), which she had unfortunately contracted earlier on this year.
Every day, when Angel gets home from school, the first thing she does is to wash her hands. Not just wash, but wash thoroughly using the 8 proper steps to handwashing. We also make it a point for her to wash her hands before and after every meal, every visit to the toilet, and every time she goes out of the house or comes into contact with anything unclean.
according to the Health Promotion Board. In fact, Lifebuoy handwash kills 99.9% of germs in just 10 seconds! In this instance, I am loving the world 'kill'.
Nowadays, Angel loves to wash her hands so much that she will take the initiative to ask "Can I go and wash my hands now?". You see, handwashing has become a fun activity for her ever since Lifebuoy launched its new colour changing handwash which is named "The Hulk of Handwashes". It contains tiny bead particles that release a green colour when squished during handwashing. In just 10 seconds, you can see your hands turn from white to green and that is a sign not just to rinse those tiny hands, but also for mums to feel assured that your kid is now germ-free.
Disclosure: This is part of a series of sponsored conversations between Lifebuoy and A Happy Mum. All opinions are my own.

Critics Page In Conversation
THOMAS SAYERS ELLIS with Anne Waldman
(January 2016)
Anne Waldman (Rail): Please talk about the founding of your band, auspiciously named for an Amiri Baraka short story, "Heroes Are Gang Leaders." When did the idea of forming such a large and talented band of musicians and performers come to you? I know you had been reading your own work yourself with musicians and I had seen you on the same bill as Baraka at the Poetry Project, not long before his death. What was the inspiration to a larger collective project?
Thomas Sayers Ellis: It's weird how lineage works, all forms of it. As you know I am a person who worries and bothers and has been worried and bothered by poetry, teaching, photography and––in my own way––performance. I'm drawn to the energy of things and I grew up working in bookstores and slightly addicted to used bookstores. In fact, I consider many of my favorite books to be Power Objects. Note, however, that a book can be a Power Object for any number of reasons, real or imagined––content, design, cover, etc. Tales, the original Grove Press edition, is such a book. In 1987, I found my first copy of it and from that moment I have always been drawn to and baffled by the title of one of its short lyric stories, "Heroes Are Gang Leaders." Over the years I simply have not been able forget it and every time I see a copy of Tales, I check it to make sure the story is there and then I buy it as a gift for someone. I have the small mass paper edition, the beautiful cloth edition (with the amazing photograph of Amiri, then LeRoi Jones, by Bob Adelman) and the edition with the cover that is designed like an African Liberation Flag, Three Books by Imamu Amiri Baraka. All of these are Power Objects for different reasons. No way I understood the writing in 1987, but I grew and grew toward it and it toward me. I met saxophonist James Brandon Lewis at the Atlantic Center for the Arts and we began working together in 2011. Then, in 2013, I did a short stint as poet/performer with Greg Tate's band Burnt Sugar. Sugar certainly altered my vision on what the matrimony of page/stage could be. Crazy Props. James and I, as you mentioned, opened for Amiri at St. Marks Church and our preparation for that opened the doors, in us, to all the possibility and ways to speak and have Baraka's whole branch of the tradition speak through us. Then he transitioned and I had to sit through the whole memorial service and listen to all of the poets get him right and get him wrong, knowing my connection to his vision was genuine, and that I––too––had a head, heart and fist of creative Thanks You for him, so James and I decided to gather a team of musicians to honor Amiri, and while we were preparing, it simply felt bigger than us, larger––I thought––than just my voice. I heard community and tension and traffics of living sound and struggle and loss, invention, the whole Black treasure chest in Amiri. I just didn't want to ruin it, this rare Thank You, with single-mindedness or selfishness. Amiri Baraka left us with an orchestra of us. All HAGL recordings and performances open to continue that.
Rail: I remember seeing you after Amiri's extraordinary send-off in Newark. What was your impression of how the world of art and cultural revolution activism would flourish after his demise? I often think of Amiri in the wake of all the radical action around
Black Lives Matter. Any thoughts on this? What we have learned from Amiri's
Ellis: This is a tough question disguised as an easy one (for many reasons) but I am going to give it to you straight––because a lot of people, since Amiri's transition, like to say what he would have said about this so-called moment of media-made activism. I think the owl-like Amiri would have seen right through the set-up. I think he would have eventually pulled the wool off of this new leader-less Movement. He was famous for calling out folks if he thought they were compromised, so I think OB, (Owl-Baraka) would have called Black Lives Matter a bunch of Negroes. And he would have come up with a cool as moniker for them; and many poets, especially middle age to younger ones, would have disassociated themselves with him. They did it when he was alive, yep, like it was a part of their craft. Much of the continuance of his and America's cultural activism has been infiltrated, enemy-funded, and guided by staged events full of controlled opposition. In fact one of Amiri's gifts was his ability to properly and creatively name the Evil we were up against, and that might not be possible anymore. Our poets just aren't trained to do anything but look back and make books that read like amputated novels, Series. The Evil, via the use of technology and the imaginations, seems to have outdistanced our imaginations; and, for Black folks––specifically––there might not be a way to counter such unless we accept that many of "the worst Negroes in this nightmare" might just be the most successful ones. Amiri was also a bit tricky. I mean, check it: he fell for Obama.
Rail:Could you say more about Amiri in this instance? I think there is more subtlety to Amiri's support and the legacy of Obama. Perhaps you know the story of his meeting Obama, then a senator, at a political event. Amiri was seated on some steps and Obama came up put out his hand out and said "Amiri Baraka, the poet?" Maybe it was identifying him as a poet that warmed his revolutionary stance. These Presidents don't solve all ills, and they can be war criminals, yes, and the office is built on repression. But Amiri still had respect for Obama—for his intellect and his aspiration—in spite of failures and drones. And Amiri's message was that we all have to get more involved. And we need cultural revolution here at home. That there are cracks in the machine, and some authenticity can shine through. And that's what we are working on. His son, Ras, is working within the political system—with admirable progress. It ain't easy.
Ellis: Well, I voted for our current President (who isn't really our President) twice. We haven't had a President (or a handler-less one) in at least sixteen years (maybe twenty-four) but we all fell for the Black Fix-it Candidate. My Baraka-esque question for Baraka would be: "WhoooooOOOOooo do you think set it up and knew that we would fall the way we fell, so that we are here, one mo 'gin, in this same old same old position saying We've got to participate more, participate again, participate some more, triple-double participate, participate to death, till death do us part, in a participation that has been designed and redesigned to kill and limit participation."
They flipped Paul Laurence Dunbar. We don't wear the masks anymore, if ever. I loved Amiri, but I never sat at his feet; and if he had respect for you-know-who, well it was a blind respect, a wrong, media-induced American one, the flim-flam, an uniformed one, just as uninformed as we were when one of us, remember who, called Bill Clinton the first Black President and so many of us––especially poor folks––followed suit. They flipped the politics. We don't own the masks. They flipped the poetry. They wear us as the masks they wear. They wear us as the masks they wear. They wear us as the masks they wear, and that's what I think about where we are in America with regards to progress, dissent, publishing, protest, music, civil wrongs and civil rights, all forms of entertainment, all levels of education, etc. They wear us as the mask they wear.
Rail: You've been doing a series of pieces—complex compositions—honoring great black writers: Bob Kaufman, Gwendolyn Brooks, Amiri Baraka, Etheridge Knight. I am curious about the ethos, the vision of these unique pieces. You are essentially a poet, and yet one sees, hears, feels, this immense capacity for creative leadership in this larger responsibility of collaboration.
Ellis: Thank you, Anne, for the compliment. I wish I had an answer that could swim, wade or float in exactness. Oddly enough, I think that my creative process was hijacked many years ago by cinema––cinematic behavior, cinematic composition, cinematic outcome––not to mention, I guess, that I've always been interested in making one form of literacy leak and pour into another. It also seems senseless to allow the organic toolbox, the body, to be over-powered by all the imitative technical ones––equipment, musical instruments, metaphors, genre, etc.; these things are just the servants of sensibility. And it's my job to take the risk of knowing what's available and to what degree. I have to see and hear the full humans who are on this journey with me. I always hear voices when I read literature. I also always hear literature when I am just having a conversation with someone. I can't turn it off, no, but I am no fool…I also got lucky. I fell in with a bunch of amazing collaborators, all of whom match and exceed my passion for natural invention. Again, all I have to do is make the room possible for risk, and they each take turns sweetening the room…then I think stanza…then I explode it with a sense-eating turn of phrase…until the whole place swells with our own How You Sound. I've been called a control freak (I fake am), but I try and share the controls––and doing so, helped us find one of our very original How You Sound(s) pretty quick. For instance we came to Naropa last summer with a single idea, hoping to record a single song "Would You Wear My Eyes" for Bob Kaufman but something happened in the studio and Margaret Morris (vocalist) began to improvise with and against the atmospheric moods of Luke Stewart (bass) and James Brandon Lewis (saxophone), and I got out of the way (I left the room, yep) when the "snakes" came out, and a very important freedom was born, The Avant-Age Garde I AMs of the Gal Luxury. With "WeWeWeWe the Remarkable" (for Gwendolyn Brooks), the task was: How to take a well-known poem, essentially the size of a frame, and reshoot it wider, extend the width of it via groove and patience and "language charged with meaning" to quote Ezra Pound." By then, HAGL had grown and we were allowed to prepare for the recording at Bob Holman's apartment and half the band missed the practice but the poets and voices––Janice Lowe, Randall Horton, James Brandon Leiws, da Frontine, Nina Angela, Mercer, Margaret Morris, Ailish Hopper and myself used the time to arrange the lyric possibilities. I am proud of that recording because in addition to weaving, again, our own How You Sound around the scaffolding of "We Real Cool," we were also lucky to add Avery R Young's instructional interactions with his students at the beginning of the track as well as the Lit Crit Musings Music of Evie Shockley at the end. We continued to widen the poem-music experience for the listener. "WeWeWeWe…" is our widescreen Jump Bad anthem. We filled it with Normal schooling, church basement, teaching, preaching, and our own slant on what it means to go all Southside Chi Mecca on that literary ass.
Rail: Please talk about the process of these works, how you make the selections. The theme dynamics you want to explore. The texts themselves, the multiple voices of yourself and your primary singer, poets, performers. And also the musicians of course, and their individual talents.
Ellis: I want to do everything, explore everything, explode air, record and make and write everyday but I can't, so we try and do "the most" (as they say) and do it fully and beyond what we thought we were going to do. Imagine a writer who overwrites but who does so on a stack of eight pages at a time, blue carbon paper between each sheet. Imagine the rescued echoes and ghosts of such a text. Imagine waking up each morning anthology-body-swollen with the duty of noise-inheritance and translating tradition. "Either I am a nation or nobody" (Derek Walcott). I don't really have a playbook for what we choose but I am constantly reading, remembering and "diggin'." I love the term Feelnician. I found that in Amiri Baraka. I love the term "Flame Freaks." I found that in LeRoi Jones.
I try to be everywhere, fully pored. HAGL gets a lot credit for how we handle the multiple voices but I think that the layering of ideas is always there when the composition of the text contains non linear movement. Progression ain't easy. That's why it worked so well with Baraka and why a little Bob Kaufman went a long way. Bomkauf drifts above us, leaking sight. Amiri is nitty gritty soul sonic force. A writer like Etheridge Knight, I feel, is meant to be chunk-sprinkled throughout a song but I wanted also to meet the random challenge of making poetry (so-called seated music, the act of reading) meet dance music, and that's how we arrived at "Flukum," our new song which includes the Margaret Morris refrain, "Your book sucks." This new project is "for the readers who don't dance and the dancers who don't read." And wait till you hear the "Feeling Fucked Up" Race Duet (Ailish Hopper and Luke Stewart) we recorded for "Eth." The theme is courage, creative courage.
Rail: The recording process has been interesting to me, what I've gleaned of it. The precise and careful layering. The balance between fastidious scripting and improvisation.
Ellis: Sometimes I think we are simply masters of surrender when it comes to the recording process. I like to know what's going to happen but the musicians, mostly, don't. I used to be a drummer, so I drive our drummer, Warren "Trae" Crudup," crazy but wait till you hear "We Free Singers Be," the way Trae "gun-totes" as we say, right through it. I think about the live-show-listener too much and expect the band to be able to recreate all of the accidents and aims we stumble upon in the studio. The bassist, Luke Stewart, wants to have "a vibe session." I don't blame him; he's good at it…but I want the listener to become familiar inside the work and be able to return to it as if it were his or her own. James Brandon Lewis wants me to trust the band more and allow the song-experience to be created anew each time. Margaret Morris once said I direct too much and "leave the band alone." Ryan Frazier aka Heru Shabaka-ra, our trumpet player, is always Ryan but never the same Heru, but I hear something original from him each time and this new project really has his energy all over it. I interrupt our engineer, Ambrose Bye, too much. I'm learning not to cut and paste his flows…but I trust him to know the work as well (or better) than I do, and he has never let me down in that regard. Devin Brahja Waldman, Mr. Synthesizer, is a consistent wild card, the unexpected seasoning in all of our songs, while Janice Lowe (on keyboards) can perform/play any register of emotion we need. Because of her, a HAGL song might sound either playful or mournful, only minutes apart. We even got our own corner man swag in Randall Horton; he's our legit feelnician. And our own White And, just like in poetry, we aim to surprise ourselves; the Etheridge Knight project contains "The Love Space Demands" (for Ntozake Shange) on which we plan to turn loose new HAGL poet-members Joey De Jesus and Yolanda Wisher. Ask the Carpenters, we've only just begun. I am one of Amiri Baraka's shoes and HAGL is a razor.
How do you see this project as a cultural intervention?
I don't.
This problem-ject is
ruining the life
I am not
to have yet. And,
for some reason,
I can't stop
tam bou rines.

As the AnomalyMan on Squidoo/HubPages, I might wish to welcome you to my authentic URL page on this platform. At that time (in 2006) this page was known as Anomalies, ParaNormal and Mind Perceptions – and featured three or 4 `anomalous' hyperlinks for readers to browse every day. Indeed, this was certainly one of Squidoo's authentic most popular pages. And, Anomalies, ParaNormal and Thoughts Perceptions carried on in that method for a lot of years and spawned quite a few similar pages began by myself. (Search for the anomalous creature logo.) Nevertheless eventually, I moved most of my daily blogging to the platform. However, I nonetheless needed to do something special with my authentic page on Squidoo/HubPages – one thing that will do the AnomalyMan URL name proud. Chances are high you've got had some interplay with an FA (flight attendant) earlier than, but except you are an FA or know somebody who is, you probably don't know what really goes on behind the scenes. I've been a flight attendant at a major U.S. airline for the higher part of 12 years and I've seen all of it. I will reveal a number of the secrets and techniques of being a flight attendant, some stuff which will shock or shock you.
The following day, I used to be sent again to Indonesia the place, surprisingly, I found my girlfriend waiting for me in the transit space. You possibly can solely imagine how we both felt. After hugging and kissing we tried negotiating with the Indonesian authorities to allow me entry for two days earlier than I flew off to my residence country. We supplied them $300, but they did not budge.
Saudi Airlines do not cost any completely different on-line to what they charge the agent, however the agent will typically add a handling charge to what they charge as they now not get anything from Saudia on your booking. Thanks for reading Velzipmur. Folks do not like to be confined to a small house, therefore don't like to take long haul flight. It could be fun with just a little little bit of planning.
The weak point of Singapore Airlines has been exposed as income proceed to decrease, by as a lot as greater than 80{bc435d2e57c221fa81fb5bf1ca01e7b290ad83074a7a54a6cd8c173ef738a111} for the reason that financial year of 2011. Great lens, another one I would add to the checklist (that I went away with) is Went away for 10 weeks and had a good time! Most of my trips had brief layovers that allowed barely sufficient time to sleep and get again to the airport for one more spherical. However yes, it was enjoyable!
Make certain that you have all your cats well being records with you. Most airlines would require certificates of health earlier than you possibly can load your pet. ANA, which began its operation in 1958, is the most important airline in Japan. In 2017, it got here in third underneath the Prime Ten Airlines award and 2nd for World's Best Cabin Staff award. See how our services will likely be working this Easter and throughout the May Financial institution Holidays.

Coalition to Salute America's Heroes in partnership with the Department of Veteran Affairs, Department of Defense and corporate America, unveils plans to bring together 350 disabled soldiers and their families at Walt Disney World
Ossining, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/23/2007 --The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes announced today that three hundred and fifty severely wounded service members from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom plus their families and primary caregivers will attend its Fourth Annual Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute. The five-day event, to be held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida from December 14 – 19, 2007, with more than 1,000 people in attendance, will be the nation's largest gathering of severely wounded troops ever.
The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes (http://www.saluteheroes.org), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 2004 to provide support to the severely injured from the War on Terror, spearheads this annual event to provide wounded troops, their families and caregivers with one source of information regarding benefits, services, counseling, insurance, healthcare, financial support, career counseling and employment opportunities. The Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute is truly the first step in their recovery.
"The Road to Recovery Conference and Tribute is a great example of how the private, public and government sectors can work together to help severely wounded troops and their families. We are grateful to the Department of Veteran Affairs, Department of Defense, government service organizations and other groups who are working with us to put this event together," says Ray Clifford, executive director of the Coalition to Salute America' Heroes. "This is the only place where these families are under the same roof with all these organizations and given the chance to ask questions, address issues and learn about resources available."
Access to Top Resources:
Wounded troops and their families will be given access to a broad spectrum of government organizations to get first hand information regarding their needs.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is critical in the planning of the conference, with the majority of seminars being conducted by their representatives. Sessions at this year's conference will include discussions on VA benefits and adaptive sports clinics. Counseling courses on PTSD will be conducted by the VA's top national team.
"Serving our wounded veterans is a top priority at the Department of Veterans Affairs," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson. "These are American heroes, and we're looking forward to the opportunity to participate in honoring them again at the annual Road to Recovery Conference."
The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes is a proud member of the Department of Defense "America Supports You" program, and works with the DoD in putting together the career fair.
In previous years, the Department of Labor has been a part of the fair, and defense contractors will be there to provide job opportunities for the service member and their spouse.
Government service organizations will be involved again this year to provide information relevant to each branch of the military. Those organizations include Safe Harbor, Marine 4 Life, Wounded Warrior AW2 and Palace HART.
While the recovery process is long and arduous for a service member, it is just as difficult for the family. The Coalition and its partners recognize this, and so much of educational seminars throughout the week will be on topics rarely addressed from their perspective including PTSD, relationships and coping strategies. Children will participate in Camp C.O.P.E., a therapeutic hands-on daily session that teaches techniques to deal with transition issues and their parents' injuries.
Emotional Healing
Apart from the physical hardships that such catastrophic injuries impose, many of these war heroes face crushing financial, mental and emotional hardships. Injuries take their toll on every aspect of a wounded hero's life, from emotional hardships with their families to difficulty making house payments to loss in income. Although less apparent, these struggles are just as destructive as any physical disability.
While there is no doubt that the conference will provide wounded troops with education and tangible tools for their road to recovery, the Conference will serve as a tribute and
thanks to the troops, a factor often underestimated that has emotional healing power. Previous conferences have featured national entertainers such as Toby Keith and Gary Sinise.
At the conference, service members will be given the rare opportunity to meet others with like injuries and life situations, share valuable information and encouragement, and learn through the examples of others about how to work through issues. Moreover, they will be given much-needed respite from the daily routine of treatment and therapy and given the chance to connect, reunite and recharge the family unit.
Two hundred of the most recently wounded service members will be invited to the event, representing a collection of the most common injuries from the War on Terror: severe burns, loss of limbs, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal and nerve injuries, loss of vision and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Since the event will be instrumental in setting recovery examples, explaining challenges and providing hope for the newly injured, 75 service members from the coalition's first conference in 2004 and 75 from the second conference in 2005 will also be in attendance. They will share their inspiring stories of recovery with the newly injured and help those families focus on benefits that are relevant to their new needs based on where they are in the recovery phase. Service members from the earlier conferences will also learn about longer term benefits from the VA and furthering their education or career. The conference is an opportunity for them to do just that.
Corporate America Stepping Up
The event would not be possible without the support of corporate America. Many of the country's top organizations have already pledged their support of the event and urge other companies to do the same.
Tom Murach, Senior Vice President, Customer Service and Support Technology for Bank of America says, "By supporting the brave veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedom in the war on terror, we at the Bank are also supporting our customers, our neighbors, and the "family" of Bank of America associates, many of whom have friends and loved ones who have served or are currently serving in the nations Armed Forces. The Road to Recovery Conference is an important and tangible way to demonstrate our support to our troops and their families."
He continues, "The Conference is a unique opportunity for the private sector, government agencies and corporate America to come together to answer the call of our wounded troops in helping them rebuild their lives. Bank of America is proud to be a part of the event again this year and welcomes the participation of other corporations across the nation."
Michael Lister, president and CEO, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. commented, "As long-time supporters of our nation's troops, it was a natural and honored opportunity for us to sponsor the Coalition's conference last December. Since that time, our relationship with the Coalition has grown and we, along with our nationwide franchise system, look forward to supporting many of their efforts, including the December 2007 Conference. As a corporation with over 6,500 locations nationwide, it has always been important for us to give back to the communities in which we serve, as well as support those who support us so valiantly. The men and women who make up our injured and disabled veterans deserve nothing less than our nation, including corporate America, supporting them in their time of need."
What the Troops Say
It is the job of the coalition to quickly to provide whatever emergency assistance is needed during a wounded service member's process of healing and recovery. Most Americans tend to look at the big picture: nearly 3000 Americans killed and more than 23,000 wounded. The coalition prefers to look at the smaller picture, focusing on those individuals whose lives have been forever altered. Here are some examples of families helped through past Road to Recovery conference:
"This conference is the most valuable source of information we've received so far. There is so much here in terms of the benefits we are eligible for, job training and opportunities, the chance for our children to meet other kids that are dealing with the same issues and the chance us to meet other couples families who are traveling on this road to recovery with us. I am so thankful that we were a part of this conference," says Summer Adams, wife of John Adams, who was injured in Iraq in 2003.
"The Road to Recovery Conference is amazing in that it really puts a lot of information out there, a lot of stuff I didn't know before, about what is available to me. It was also the first time since I left the hospital that I was able to be around so many other men and women who were injured. Feeling that camaraderie again was incredible. And best of all, I am now considering several jobs as a result of attending the job fair," commented Gary Boggs, who was injured in Iraq in 2005.
When it comes to providing tangible benefits for the seriously wounded, no other organization does more throughout every stage of the recovery process than the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, one of the nation's leading non-governmental organizations for the severely wounded War on Terror veterans.

text: palliser Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Has anyone else seen the new Twyla Tharp/Billy Joel show now in previews on Broadway? It is quite marvellous. The dancing (by John Selya, Ashley Tuttle, Elizabeth Parkinson, and Keith Roberts) is nothing less than sensational. The audience was more Billy Joel than dance, and it didn't hurt that the Piano Man himself was in the audience Tuesday night, but the loud buzz from people leaving the theater was all about John Selya, who gives an absolutely breathtaking performance in the leading role. What fun! I'm going back to see it again. Link to comment
