Neoendo flex files are one of the latest rotary endodontic files used in root canal treatment (endodontic therapy). These new endodontic rotary files were manufactured keeping in mind the limitations of conventional shape memory rotary files in endodontics. Neoendo Flex Files undergo a specialized heat treatment process to give them unique flexibility characteristics. Shape memory nickel titanium rotary endodontic files have the limitation of reduced cutting efficiency due to heat treatment in addition to opening of the flutes when stress levels are encountered in the canal. This results in prolonged treatment time and apical extrusion of debris. Neoendo Flex Files however, utilize proprietary heat treatment methods which dos not result in the flutes opening as a result of stress. Advanced surface treatment methods are employed which results in the characteristic golden colour of the file. This surface treatment results in a far superior cutting efficiency of the files. Neoendo Flex Files have a simple usage protocol and reduce chair time for each procedure owing to their superior characteristics.
Neoendo Flex Files have excellent cyclic fatigue resistance. The triangular cross section with sharp cutting edges increases cutting efficiency. Avoiding accidental apical transportation becomes easier with the safety tip (non-cutting). The extreme flexibility of this canal favours negotiation of any canal.
The Problem
The Root Canal System is highly complex and a practitioner may encounter varied types of anatomies. Shape memory file, because of their tendency to straighten up, results in unnecessary loss of dentin and many a times instrument separation. Heat treatment, though renders the file flexible, reduces the cutting efficiency of the blades, not to forget that flutes open even with small stress levels encountered in the canal. This results in not only in increased preparation time, but also apical extrusion of debris during the procedure. Combined with these, the increasing cost of instruments puts pressure on a practitioner's ability to provide quality treatment.
The Solution
Neoendo Flex Files utilize a proprietary heat treatment which gives it a very unique flexibility, flutes do not open up when stress levels are reached, yet the file does not present shape memory. The golden color of the file is a result of a very sophisticated and technologically advanced surface treatment to achieve a far superior cutting efficiency. A very tough file, Neoendo Flex File has a simple usage protocol, takes less time per case, and presents outstanding performance.
When dealing with highly calcified and severely curved canals, usage of K files #8 and #10 and Neoendo Flex Glide files is recommended.

|The convention chair's Steven Cooper and Alice Lawson with Guest of Honours at the closing ceremony.
The first thing we went to on Monday was Pew Pew! Where Have the Lasers Gone? We went to this partly because Ann Leckie was on the panel, but also because Susan works in Quantum Optics and Lasers at Imperial College. It became obvious that there was an expert on lasers in the audience, who would have been a good choice to have had on the panel, because he was clearly very knowledgeable. I also think Susan would have had a lot to bring to the discussion, with stories from the laboratories. So a little disappointed. However, seeing Ann Leckie, and getting to speak to her afterwards was fun.
We planned on going to the Fermi Paradox Book Discussion, but talking to Ann Leckie meant we didn't, and Ann Leckie talking to us. Cool or what? So when we had finished we went off for coffee. Coffee being a singular constant in our daily routine during the convention, our favourite being from Andronicas who sold what we thought was the best coffee at ExCel.
Along with drinking coffee there was talking to friends, old and new.
|New friend Vivian Perry jazz singer, and here in a costume inspired by the theme of the Lady of the Lake.
|Long time friend Kate, with Malcolm as the Girl in the Fireplace with cute little clockwork robot doll.
We ate lunch one final time, and had pasties as a treat, before we then went off to watch the Closing Ceremony, where we saw the LonCon 3 promo trailer as a reminder of how the bid to hold the WorldCon in London began. The committee chairs and guest then pulled a gag by entering the TARDIS to go back in time to report on the success of the convention. We're geeks, we thought it was funny.
Our final panel of the convention was How Space Missions Happen, which was full of amusing stories and incidents about the problems of getting a mission launched. After that I was wrecked and even though we had been invited to a Dead Dog party I insisted I needed to be taken home to have a hot bath to soothe my aching body, and an early night to sleep in my own bed.
So I hope you have all enjoyed this marathon day-by-day con report, and thank you for reading.
NB: For those who didn't go and who want to see the LonCon 3 events in full, here is the link to the online guide.

Butterhorn Cookies with a flaky sour cream pastry dough rolled up with cinnamon sugar and walnuts. The bottoms get deliciously caramelized during baking! So good with an afternoon cup of coffee.
Butterhorn Recipe
Feeling a bit homesick as I settle back into life in Virginia so I thought I'd post this butterhorn cookie recipe.
Grandma only makes them on Christmas Eve, but they're really too versatile to label a Christmas cookie (they're also a great breakfast pastry with a cup of hot coffee).
These however definitely remind me of Christmas and family.
Making Christmas cookies all December long is a family tradition and we make so many cookies!
Have you seen all the Christmas cookies on my site? I even offer a free Christmas cookie cookbook to email subscribers (bottom of this post) with all my pro tips.
The flaky, buttery dough is similar to pie crust, but enriched with sour cream.
It's then rolled up with walnuts and cinnamon sugar that caramelizes, giving it a nice chewy-crisp texture.
They're very much like rugelach. Maybe the same thing, different name.
If you like cinnamon, you might also like my Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies or my soft and chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies.
There are a few steps involved with chilling and rolling the dough.
This must be done, but since the dough gets divided into 3 parts, you can keep a batch in the refrigerator for a few days or freeze to bake fresh cookies at a later date.
After rolling the dough out thinly, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar walnut mixture.
The nuts can be left out completely, or you can substitute a different nut.
Next, slice the dough into triangles. I use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into even wedges and it makes assembly a breeze.
Roll up each crescent starting with the wide end and bake. Enjoy the incredible scent as they cook!
Pin these butterhorns for later!
Grandma's Butterhorn Cookies
Flaky sour cream pastry rolled up with cinnamon sugar and walnuts. The bottoms get deliciously caramelized!
- 1 cup cold salted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg yolk, slightly beaten

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- Cut butter into flour until evenly distributed. Small chunks of butter are ok.
- Mix egg yolk and sour cream together, then add to flour mixture, stirring just until dough comes together.
- Divide dough into 3 equal parts, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Combine sugar, cinnamon and walnuts; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll one portion of dough into 12-inch circle. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mix. Cut circle into 16 even wedges and roll up firmly starting with the wide end.
- Place on cookie sheet and space 2 inches apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until delicately browned. Repeat with remaining 2 portions of dough.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A silt plume has been spotted flowing from the Roosevelt Marketplace construction site into the Ortega River.
Last week, News4Jax learned that heavy rains had been pushing silt from the site into a nearby canal, which flows into the river. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has conducted an inspection, and further action is planned.
Shannon Blankenship, advocacy director for the St. Johns Riverkeeper, said the recent plume sighting wasn't the first.
"The first time that we saw an active violation of construction at the Roosevelt mall was in January of 2020," Blankenship said a week ago. "We've continued to receive reports through April, May and June."
Blankenship on Monday said it's become a reoccurring issue during heavy rainfall.
"Not only do we have proof of the violations, but we had proof of ongoing violations," she said.
The Riverkeeper, City of Jacksonville and the FDEP have been working to find a solution. The FDEP issued a statement that reads in part:
"The Department takes all violations of Florida's environmental laws seriously.
Immediately upon being notified of the concerns related to the construction site, the Department conducted an inspection. Based on the noted violations at the site, the Department is requiring that the responsible parties identify and implement both short and long-term corrective actions to ensure environmental compliance and address any unresolved storm water issues.
The site developer and associated contractors have already begun taking on-going immediate, short-term corrective actions including greatly improved Best Management Practices around storm drains; isolating disturbed earth and exposed lime rock areas then re-routing for treatment; and considering temporary asphalt repaving of lime rock areas in the parking lot. These efforts should prevent storm-water carrying exposed lime rock and disturbed earth from being carried to the storm-water discharge, which we believe to be the main sources of turbidity plumes traced to the site. The Department has continued conducting regular site visits to ensure adequate progress and that these corrective actions are working.
Additionally, the Department is also evaluating potential formal enforcement actions with the responsible parties that may include longer term corrective actions and the assessment of appropriate fines/penalties."
~6 months, the Roosevelt Marketplace redevelopment in @CityofJax has been polluting the Ortega River w/ construction-site runoff. @FLDEPNews finally issued a consent order to the contractor for fines & corrective actions to get the site into compliance! https://t.co/Fo3e5z9IFm pic.twitter.com/QfVoqcsglm— St. Johns Riverkeeper (@SJRiverkeeper) July 17, 2020
The corrective order has been drafted by the FDEP and once it is signed by both parties, corrective steps will be taken.
The St. Johns Riverkeeper thanks the community and residents in the area for documenting the plumes flowing into the river, saying those reports are crucial in determining and solving problems.

Aligning Aid with Enrollment
MDRC examines an alternative approach to dispersing aid to help students stretch their financial support and cover expenses.
Success of an emergency aid effort is contingent upon having a strong, well-designed management structure in place. In order to achieve this, college and university leaders need to be able to articulate a clear vision for success, identify the essential staff and departments needed, and create agreed upon roles and responsibilities. By focusing on these areas, institutions can build or revise management structures to establish, expand, or enhance emergency aid efforts.
The community of institutions interested in emergency aid continues to grow. We'll collect and catalog many of the developed resources and tools so they can be discovered, shared and improved upon by the evolving emergency aid community. Browse this library of tools and resources for implementing, evaluating and improving emergency aid at colleges and universities.

Expect the nascent wearables industry in Canada to be worth $600 million in five years. This was one of the insights that Krista Napier, senior analyst of mobility for IDC Canada, offered at the latest We Are Wearables event in Toronto.
The IDC recently released their report, The State of Wearables in Canada, and shared some of their findings at the monthly Wearables event.
Models demo the @the_meu_led product at #WWTO @wearewearables https://t.co/qdxQKXcKaR
— karim kanji (@karimkanji) June 24, 2014
According to the IDC, up to 18 per cent of Canadians are very interested in owning a wearable device. What is considered a wearable device? The IDC classifies the following as true wearables: Complex Accessory, Smart Accessory, and Smart Wearable.
A Complex Accessory is a device that is partially independent of any other computer device and also has no third-party apps. Examples of such devices would be the Nike Fuelband and Fitbit.
A Smart Accessory is also a partially independent device. The difference is that these devices have third-party apps. Examples would be the Samsung Galaxy Gear and the Sony Smart Watch.
A Smart Wearable functions independently of any other device, has third-party apps and is connectivity agnostic. Think of Google Glass and Neptune Pine.
Connected products that Napier's team does not consider true wearables are Bluetooth headsets, heart-rate monitors and simple digital watches.
And while the wearable industry is on a growth trajectory, there are a number of challenges that Napier sees facing this young industry:
- Fashion
- Social Acceptance
- Price
- Quality
- Purchase Location
- Fragmentation
- "Good Enough" devices
- Privacy
- Battery Life
Two wearable startups followed Napier's presentation.
Robert Tu, founder of MeU, introduced his company to the audience. The MeU product is a wearable accessory built on a flexible LED matrix that can be worn on the body, on clothing or any other material to display any type of information.
Pierre-Alexandre Fournier, CEO of Hexoskin, personally demo'd his product. This biometric shirt, which Fournier proudly wore, is able to track a number of health data points of the individual wearing the smart shirt. The measurements include everything from physical training, sleep and personal daily activities.

If you are fit, you will be able to increase the HDL cholesterol levels in your blood stream – the good cholesterol – while also reducing the LDLs in your blood – the bad cholesterol. In doing so, you will reduce your overall cholesterol while also making sure it is in the right ratios. Exercising regularly allows you to process the cholesterol that you do need in your body and use it effectively, while removing the cholesterol that can clog arteries. Have these levels checked before you start an exercise program so that you can see how these levels change as you workout over time.
Lower Your Weight For Better Fitness
Working out will also help you lose weight, which is another way you can help your cholesterol. The more weight you lose, the easier it will become to lose the high cholesterol numbers as well, often without medications to help. By working out every day for at least thirty minutes, you will be able to lose weight or maintain a health weight which will support your heart.
Your cholesterol levels might be the last thing you think about when you are exercising, but knowing they are connected can help to motivate you to get to the gym. With regular workouts, you will be able to reduce your total cholesterol which lowers your risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular troubles.

That's a good observation. When you see blood
outside the body it is usually a dark red. This
blood is from the veins. Sometimes you may cut an
artery. This blood is bright red. It also spurts
out in pulses instead of oozing like the blood
from veins. So even outside the body, blood can
be different colors. (What's the difference
between veins and arteries and why would that
affect the color? Why does arterial blood spurt?)
The blood vessels you see at the surface of your
skin are veins. Everyone's skin is slightly
different in color, so the veins can look
different in different people, but blood is
exactly the same color in everyone. It still
doesn't look red. That's because we're seeing the
*walls* of the veins too. When you see lemon-lime
flavored soft drinks in plastic bottles they
usually look green, but when you pour them out,
they're often clear or yellow. It's not the blood
that's bluish, it's the whole vein, including the
walls, just like the soft drinks look green
because they're in colored bottles.
you ever seen a totally white rabbit or mouse?
They're called "albinos" because they can't make
pigments (the substances that color our eyes,
skin, and hair). Their veins look red, even
though their blood is the same color as ours. Why
is that?
Your blood gets its red color from oxygen.Your
blood has this molecule in it called hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is like a little transporter for
oxygen. It is used by your body to get oxygen to
your muscles. This starts when hemoglobin
attaches onto oxygen it gets from your lungs.
After that, your heart pumps your blood to your
muscles so they can use the oxygen. Then, your
blood returns to your lungs so that the hemoglobin
can pick up more oxygen.
When oxygen
attaches to a hemoglobin, the hemoglobin changes
"shape" and it looks "red". After that oxygen is
removed by your muscles, the hemoglobin changes
"shape" again, and this time it looks "blue".
So...when you're looking at your veins and
arteries, the ones that look "blue" have blood
without oxygen in them. The ones that look "red"
have blood with oxygen in them.
The current mythology is that arterial blood and
that exposed to the air (bleeding) is red because
oxygen binds with the hemoglobin resulting is a
red color. Venous blood is "bluish" because it is
oxygen depleted which results in a "blue" color.
The veins that carry the venous blood are just
under the skin hence this is the "blue" blood you
see. The arterial blood is carried in the
arteries which are deep in the body and not seen
through the skin. Also people who are suffocating
(oxygen depleted) turn "blue" because the blood at
the surface in the skin becomes oxygen depleted
and gives the body a bluish cast.
this helps. If I learn more I will pass it on.
You have a good question. The "color" of blood
depends on how much oxygen is in the blood; when
here is plenty of oxygen, the blood is more
"reddish in color. The reason that this is so is
because of a protein called HEMOGLOBIN, which
carries the oxygen in your blood. When hemoglobin
has a full oxygen load, it gives the blood a
reddish color. Here are a few questions for you to
think about:
1. Why is blood very bright
red when you get a cut? (Think about what is in
the air).
2. Do you think that blood coming
FROM the lungs will be more "red" or more "blue"
compared to blood that is coming BACK INTO the
To simply answer your question, it is because
of the science of light. The colors we are able to
see is due to the wavelengths of light that go
back into our eyes. We look at the veins which are
red, but the light that hits our skin that goes
back into our eyes for our brain to understand it,
is blue to our brain.
Your veins are not actually blue. They are a
dark reddish-brown, but appear blue because the
fat under our skin only allows blue light to
travel all the way down to our veins. Since it is
the only color of light that makes it to our
veins, it is the only color that is reflected, and
thus our veins appear blue! I hope this helps.
Your blood is actually always red! Blood in
your veins has very little oxygen and is a dark
red color that looks almost blue when covered by
your skin. Your arteries have bright red blood
because it has a lot of oxygen in it that is being
carried throughout your body to be used by
tissues. So it is your skin that is tricking you
into thinking your blood looks blue when in fact
it is always red.
A common answer to this question is that
deoxygenated blood in the body is blue and when it
comes to the surface (like when you get a cut) it
turns red so your veins look blue because your
body contains deoxygenated blood. Although it is
true that you have deoxygenated blood in your
body, it is not the reason why your veins appear
blue - your blood is NEVER really actually
blue. Deoxygenated blood is dark red and when
it comes to the surface it's red.
So back to your question about why your veins
don't appear reddish when looking at them from
your skin. It depends on a variety of things. One
is that the skin usually absorbs blue light;
subcutaneous fat, or fat beneath the skin, only
allows for blue light to be absorbed all the way
to your veins so your veins reflect back that way.
Also, since the blood in your body is a lot
darker, the veins appear darker. You may also
notice that different sized blood vessels appear
to be different colors. Another thing it can
depend on is how you see color and how your brain
perceives certain color against the color of your
If you're ever eaten meat or dissected an
animal you can see that veins aren't really blue,
they are in fact reddish in color.

We were delighted to receive the news last week that we have been shortlisted for three prestigious PRCA awards in both the public relations and general business sectors.
We're now finalists to scoop the title of Small PR Agency of the Year at the 2016 PRCA Dare Awards, and our Huddersfield launch event for national restaurant chain Turtle Bay has also been shortlisted alongside just two other agencies in the Event, Launch or Stunt of the Year category.
The PRCA DARE Awards strive to seek out and reward the very best PR and communications professionals across the UK, and winners will be chosen by a panel of highly respected industry experts across five UK regions.
In addition, our PR director Stefanie has also been shortlisted in the business category at the 2016 Yorkshire Women of Achievement Awards, organised by hospice and neurological care charity Sue Ryder. Well done Stef!
The awards, now in their 30th year, celebrate the achievements of women from across Yorkshire, whilst also raising funds for the charity.
The recent news takes our award shortlistings count up to four so far this year, after we narrowly missed out on winning Best Small Agency at the Prolific North awards in April. We also scooped Eaton Smith's Business of the Month at the start of the year!
Stef commented:
"Being shortlisted for three awards in the same month – the same day, in fact -is an honour. It testament to the hard work and dedication of all the team at Faith PR who have supported me in growing the business from a one person consultancy run from a back bedroom to one of the region's leading agencies."
The 2016 Yorkshire Women of Achievement Award winners will be announced at a black tie ceremony at New Dock Hall in Leeds on 20 May, followed by the 2016 PRCA Dare Awards at the Radisson Blu Edwardian hotel in Manchester on 7 June.
Keep your fingers crossed and tweet us your support to @faith_PR!

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
November 25, 2003
Press Gaggle by Claire Buchan
Aboard Air Force One
En route Las Vegas, Nevada
MS. BUCHAN: Okay, let me start by going over the President's day. The President had his briefings on board the plane this morning. He is now en route to Las Vegas, where he will be met by the Freedom Corps greeter, Maria Konold-Soto. Maria is an active volunteer in the medical reserve corps unit in Las Vegas, which is a component of Citizen Corps, where they coordinate the skills of practicing nurses and retired physicians, as well as other health care professionals who bring volunteer services during emergency situations. She's also a volunteer in Trauma Intervention, which provides support to emotionally traumatized individuals, who are traumatized as a result of a crisis. And she is an active volunteer in Nevada Child Seekers, which is dedicated to locating missing and abducted children, and she volunteers also with the Frontier Girl Scouts Council.
The President will then participate in a meeting on Medicare and medical liability with health care professionals and seniors. These will be individuals who have had a difficult time getting medical care as a result of medical liability issues, as well as health care providers and seniors. The President will then make remarks on Medicare --
Q Before you go on, will you have a list of those people?
MS. BUCHAN: I expect we will be able to give you sort of the little summary, like we normally do.
Q Sometimes you're able to put a pool person in that event. Is that something you would consider?
MS. BUCHAN: I don't think we're going to have that today. I'll let you know if that changes; I don't anticipate, that --
Q Why wouldn't you?
MS. BUCHAN: Because that's not what we're planning. We have the remarks, following that, on Medicare and medical liability.
After that, the President will have a fundraiser at the Venetian Resort Hotel. He will then travel to Phoenix, where he will be met by Freedom Corps volunteer Maybelle Harris, who is 85. She's been a volunteer since 1978, active in the Los Olivos Senior Center, where the President will be speaking there. She's a volunteer in the kitchen, for special events. She's also a Sunshine Lady for AARP, which sends cards to individuals who are celebrating their birthday or have illness, you know, get well cards. She is a volunteer at her church, and she is a volunteer in the Gold Star Wives Club, which is widows of military servicemen.
Then the President will have a conversation on Medicare. In that conversation he'll be joined by senior citizens and near retirees. And then the President will return to his ranch this evening.
Q Can you talk about any involvement the President is going to have today on the Medicare bill? Is he making calls on the plane? Does he plan to later, if the vote looks close in the Senate?
MS. BUCHAN: The bill passed this morning.
Q All right, then. (Laughter.)
MS. BUCHAN: The President, of course, commends the Senate on that, as being important action taken to keep our promise to America's seniors. And you'll, of course, hear the President talk about that in his remarks today.
Q When you talk about -- when you mentioned Medicare liability and that being part of that first event, is that --
MS. BUCHAN: Medical liability.
Q So that is the bill -- same liability issue that he's been talking about in other events?
MS. BUCHAN: Right.
Q The GDP numbers were very strong today. What does that say, and what do you expect it to look like in the future?
MS. BUCHAN: Well, America's workers continue to defy expectations, and the GDP numbers today are encouraging and they are obviously very positive. The President believes that we still have more work to do to help translate the economic growth into job creation, which is why he is going to continue to urge the Congress to pass his six-point plan, one of which is, as you might recall, is medical liability reform. And so that's -- it's positive news, but there's more work to be done.
Q Is 8.2 sustainable? Is that something that we -- can sustain the U.S. economy?
MS. BUCHAN: I think as we spoke when the first round of the GDP numbers came out, I don't think anyone necessarily anticipates that that number will be a number that you'll see in coming months. But it's obviously a very positive number, and one that will hopefully begin to show increases in jobs. But the President is still cautiously optimistic and believes that there is more to be done to translate the economic growth into job creation.
Q Any agreement with -- on Iran, IAEA and Iran, it talks about putting "all options" on the table. Can you talk about what "all options" means, if they don't comply with the demands of the IAEA?
MS. BUCHAN: Well, with regard to Iran, as you know, we've been talking with the Europeans and with others. We believe the resolution that's being talked about is an appropriate resolution. We're not going to get into the details of that, because the IAEA Board of Governors has not yet had an opportunity to do that themselves. But we will look to the IAEA to have a resolution that emphasizes the seriousness of Iran's failures to comply, that warns Iran of the consequences of further non-compliance, and that also underscores the requirement for continued thorough IAEA investigation of Iran.
Q But you don't want to talk about what "all options" means? I mean, it was something --
MS. BUCHAN: I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. As I said, the IAEA Board of Governors has not yet had an opportunity themselves to respond to the reports that you're talking about. I think it's most appropriate to let them do that.
Q We know how much the President appreciates the value of a free press. How concerned is he about the -- Al-Arabia being banned by the Governing Council in Iraq?
MS. BUCHAN: I'm not going to second guess what the Iraqi Governing Council has done. As you have noted, the President does believe that a free press is important, and he himself notes that Iraq now has 150 newspapers. So this is an important step forward in developing a free press. Iraq also has other issues to address regarding the security and the stability of their country.
Q Do you know if the President was surprised by the decision?
MS. BUCHAN: I don't know.
Q With the WTO saying that it may institute its -- it may authorize EU sanctions as early as Monday, do you expect a decision before Monday?
MS. BUCHAN: I was asked this yesterday, and as I said then --
Q It's closer to Monday.
MS. BUCHAN: The President has not made a decision. I'm not going to speculate on the timing of his decision. He continues to review the ITC report talking about the restructuring of the American steel industry. And that process is ongoing.
Thank you all.

Video: Damage, Injuries on Oregon Coast Extensive; One Death
Published 01/19/2018 at 3:12 AM PDT - Updated 01/19/2018 at 4:02 AM PDT
By Oregon Coast Beach Connection staff
(Oregon Coast) – It's entirely possible Thursday's massive ocean swells were the worst in recent history for the Oregon coast for tidal surge, both in damage to buildings and harm to people. (Photo above: log pierces the oceanfront Sandcastle Motel in Lincoln City, courtesy North Lincoln Fire and Rescue).
Meanwhile, high surf warnings to stay off the beaches remain, and the public is advised to stay off them through the weekend.
It doesn't help that the people weren't listening, either, in spite of the most publicized set of storm warnings ever for the Oregon coast.
Waves as high as 60 feet in some places pummeled the beaches, resulting in evacuated businesses, destroyed property, one death and at least two injuries.
A roundup of storm incidents (including videos and links to videos):
The biggest tragedy on the Oregon coast was the man living in Newport who was swept into the surf at Depoe Bay. The man, who was in his 40s, went beyond the seawall to get a closer look at the Spouting Horn around 11:30 a.m. and was sucked in. Emergency crews and the U.S. Coast Guard searched for him the entire afternoon but gave up after sundown. He is presumed dead.
Huge waves caused damage to several oceanfront buildings and injured two.
Both the Sea Gypsy Rentals and the Sandcastle Motel were hit by waves, along with Kyllo's Restaurant - all in Lincoln City. The Sandcastle and other buildings were evacuated, while the Sea Gypsy experienced a massive wave punching through one of the units, knocking over a woman in her 70s. She was taken to the hospital and released, later describing her ordeal on regional television stations.
Kyllo's, next to the Sea Gypsy, had a natural gas pipe severed by waves and debris and it too was evacuated.
North Lincoln Fire and Rescue (NLFR) responded to each incident.
"Estimated damages will be well over a million dollars combined to all the businesses, not to mention the loss of revenue from not being open," NLFR said on its Facebook page.
In spite of clear warnings, four women began wandering the beach at the Road's End district, when all were hit by a giant wave. One of them received leg injuries and was sent to the hospital.
In Cape Disappointment, Washington, waves shoved massive logs into an enormous pile of debris, seen in a video taken by a Pacific Northwest photographer.
After checking the surf at Indian, took a stop over at the main parking lot to see what was hitting the Tillamook Head Lighthouse.... quick video, wind was howling, got pushed around by it, but wow! Here is a link to KATU's report on the Oregon Coast, Cannon Beach was featured, and some of our pictures from Cannon Beach Fire & Rescue was used! Good job Chief Benedict on the interview. http://katu.com/news/local/oregon-coast-braces-for-winter-storm-warnings-issuedPosted by Cannon Beach Surf on Thursday, January 18, 2018
Other spectacular videos showed towering waves coming over Cape Kiwanda (which is itself at least 50 feet high) as well as waves over 100 feet tall erupting over the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse offshore from Cannon Beach and Seaside.
At Seaside, some waves made it to the Turnaround, which is normally a good 500 feet from the tideline.
Cape Kiwanda Jan. 18.
Very dangerous high surf and waves today. View from a safe distance. This video clip shows waves breaking over the top of Cape Kiwanda. Oceanside Wayside is now closed because the high surf is entering the parking area.Posted by Oregon State Parks on Thursday, January 18, 2018
In Yachats and Neskowin, plenty of videos showed waves topping over the clifftops and splashing homes or at least surging through yards. In Cannon Beach, the home of musician Maggie Kitson sits back quite a ways over the bluffs, but heavy seas managed to surge over the dunes and into her backyard.
The north Oregon coast fared better, with no significant damage reported so far. Nehalem streets were flooded for awhile, a buoy for measuring wave height was found on a north coast beach, and one man in Rockaway Beach recorded a particularly nasty encounter with a sneaker wave that came over the dunes and soaked him.

Most of you are probably loyal to one or two denim brands that you've been wearing for years. We don't blame you one bit, of course — once you find a fit that works, you should never let it go. But newly-launched Warp + Weft is here to redefine jeans for both men and women, from production and pricing to sizing and design. With fit as its primary focus, there's no more leaving a dressing room disappointed, because its debut silhouettes and trend-forward details cover all the bases — plus they're offered in sizes 0-24 for women (and 28-40 for men).
It should come as no surprise, then, that this new concept is from someone who's been in the jeans game for a while: Sarah Ahmed, denim industry veteran and creative director of DL1961. "Having been in the industry for a long time, I saw there was a gap where great-fitting, high-quality jeans were only available to a few, so I founded Warp + Weft to change that," she tells Refinery29. "Warp + Weft is textile terminology for the weave that forms every fabric. 'Warp' is the vertical and 'weft' is the horizontal weave. We chose the name because it's clean, simple and brings focus back to the product – we're dedicated to creating the highest quality, best fitting jeans at the fairest price." To be totally transparent, that "fairest price" model means everything is under-$100 — seriously.
But, the sizing and prices aren't the only elements that make Warp + Weft different from the labels you know and love. "While other denim brands source their fabrics, we make ours from scratch in our own mill," says Ahmed. "We do everything from spinning yarn to weaving the final product. Because we own our own mill, we're able to develop proprietary denim technology with the perfect amount of stretch and retention." Pretty cool, no?
At the end of the day, you can't put a price tag on the way a pair of jeans can make you feel, regardless of size — and that's really where this company shines. "67% of women in the U.S. are size 14 or above, yet the majority of mainstream fashion is produced in sizes 0-8. This didn't add up to us, and we wanted to create chic, amazing fitting jeans for women of all sizes," she adds. This inclusion is something we, too, have been fighting for in the industry, so we're so glad to see one of our favorite categories, denim, leading the way — because everyone deserves pants that make them feel amazing.
Ahead, click on to shop this affordable, size-inclusive brand for yourself. Trust us when we say we have a feeling these jeans will leave your old pairs in the dust.

As most webmasters or agencies providing SEO marketing services will be aware, a recent study by Pixability has revealed how the top 100 global brands are using video marketing via Youtube and other channels to drive their online marketing efforts and gain maximum positive results.
Based on the comprehensive finding by Pixability, for which they went through a long drawn and carefully generated process of evaluating a number of brand channels based on definitive criterion, the results have indicated and proven yet again, that there is a certain pattern and process that can be used and followed as a guide in order to achieve success on YouTube.
So what are these guidelines? What are these brands doing that give them better results as opposed to others that are left somewhere in the lurch? The answers, are in the tips below:
Consistent posting is the key: How often have we heard that now? Not often enough for those who are still not doing it. One of the most important best practices for consistent results is consistent posting. On an average most successful brands almost fifty percent more videos and publish approximately 78 videos a month. This figure goes up to almost 500 videos a month for media brands.
Focus fully on YouTube SEO: The successful channels paid a lot of attention to how optimization for YouTube works as well as in trying to understand the actual architecture. As the 2nd ranked search engine, the key to being a YouTube success is being able to be discovered. Maintain a higher number of playlists and video tags in order to be seen.
More is not always better: When targeting SMO activity on YouTube, try and stay away from the overproduction trap. Even if you focus on videos that don't always go viral but target a specific audience and offer a broad range, you'll still be on the right track.
Numbers are important for content not channels: Focus more on posting consistently on existing channels as opposed to having too many channels and not posting enough. Identify your audience and get new stuff out there for them on a regular basis.
Brand Intelligently: Put your brand name wherever relevant but also maintain a balance. Do not over promote but at the same time an appropriate level of branding within content is important. Also, use metadata like your title, tags and descriptions to achieve these goals.
Combine social media platforms: Engaging the community by marrying the social media platform is another best practice. Social sharing of videos, rather producing video content that has high is sharable is something to focus on.
Following these guidelines can be the first step towards getting it right when it comes to video marketing via YouTube. It's the need of the hour and imperative to an overall successful digital marketing campaign.

You Can Air Seal Your Attic
If you add up all of the leaks, holes and gaps in a typical home, it would be like having a window open every day of the year, according to ENERGY STAR®. That's a lot of room for conditioned air to leave and outdoor air to get in. Air leaks are inefficient, but even worse, they tend to make your home's temperatures uneven. For instance, an upstairs that's hotter than the rest of the house in the summer and cooler during the winter. Some of the prime areas for air leaks are in your attic. You can seal these leaks with caulk or expandable foam if you know what to look for: •Boxes for recessed lighting fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrical devices that hang from the ceiling •Holes where wires enter the tops of walls and go down to switches or outlets •Vents that go through the attic and into the living space below Notes of caution Step carefully. Walk carefully on top of attic joists and not in between, where you may fall through. Older recessed lighting fixtures. Incandescent light fixtures can get very hot, creating a fire hazard if you seal or insulate too closely. In these cases, you can buy a special cap that goes over top of the fixture, allowing you to safely seal around it. Outside vents. Don't fill any vents to the outside because the attic is supposed to be vented outdoors. Remember, your unfinished attic should be the same temperature as the outdoors. Just fill the holes over the living space. Take a few minutes to air seal your attic. You'll go a long ways toward making your home more comfortable and efficient.

When moving your geographic numbers from one telco provider to another, you will most likely run into the terminology "CAT A" and or "CAT C". These are the two most common porting classifications for geographic numbers and greatly influence the failure or success of number management.
CAT A or C?
When a porting application is submitted, it is sent to the losing carrier who will determine what category of port the number is. The most common type is a Simple Port or CAT A port. In the event the simple port fails, it will most likely become a Complex Port or CAT C port. If you are needing to query what category your port is in, contact your current provider or refer to your most recent bill to see if you have any complex services attached.
Simple Port (Category A)
Category A ports are generally simple and quick, used to move basic telephone services such as fixed PSTN phone lines. Category A porting applications generally take between 2-10 business days once the request has been accepted by the losing provider.
What can go wrong?
If the CAT A port progresses with a complex service assigned, it will be rejected under Reason 005 - Unable to Cancel Individual Complex Service - Commsalliance-Reject-Codes-V1-030220.
What can you do?
Upon submitting your CAT A (simple port) application, ensure that there are no complex services assigned to the number. This can be checked either through your current provider or from your most recent invoice.
Complex Port (Category C)
Complex ports are used when a number typically has one or more of the following but not limited to:
1. ISDN Services
2. Line Hunt
3. Fax Services
4. Number blocks - Number blocks are classified to be a 'single number', meaning that all numbers associated with that block must be ported
5. ADSL Services
6. Ported from Telstra DOT
Cat C porting applications generally take between 5-28 business days once the request has been accepted by the losing provider.
What causes delays on CAT C ports?
Due to the complex nature of CAT C ports, there are additional steps that are required to be completed prior to your cutover date being booked. This is formulated into two stages:
PNV (Pre-port Number Validation) stage
This stage involves the provision of a regulatory form to allow the gaining carrier to request service number details from the losing carrier
This stage takes approximately 10 business days from submission.
(Typically this is where 99% of the rejections will occur)
CNA (Complex Notification Advice) stage
This stage involves the advice contained within a 'Porting Notification Order' being submitted from the Gaining Carrier (C/CSP) to the Losing Carrier (C/CSP) which, provides the initial Porting details for each Telephone Number to be Ported using the Cat-C (Complex) process.
The CNA stage takes approximately 6 business days from submission.
Concluding Comments
If you are still concerned about your upcoming number port, the best advice we can offer is to get in touch with our amazing number management team. You can reach them by dialing 1300 864 754.

vamos a guatemala, ¡ya!
domingo, 10 de enero de 2010
First impressions of Leyendas de Guatemala
Leyendas de Guatemala was an interesting and fun read for me, and it immediately brought back memories of reading story tales during my childhood…Despite the lengthy list of vocabulary that I had to look up or skip over to get through this text, I thought that it was very well written and full of vivid descriptions that I could easily depict in my mind.
This first thought came about from the author's playful style of writing - with his impeccable attention to detail and description, the sense of magic and fantasy was evident throughout all the legends and it immediately reminded me of those same fantasy and day-dream like thoughts that children so often gets lost in. I loved the imagery he used to describe the natural environment around the volcano, mentioning everything from the leaves on the trees, to the abundance of creatures that crawled that very piece of land such as the always colour- changing chameleon. The repetition of words or phrases such as "noche delirante" in Ahora que me acuerdo is an example of this as well, in which the author seems to be emphasizing this image in the reader's mind…
Leyenda de Tatuana seems to have a greater sense of myth and fantasy compared with the others, and was probably my favourite. The first part of this legend states that there are twenty months in this four hundred day year, which immediately (in my opinion) gives it 'story tale status' if you will... Also, in Leyenda del Volcán, I like the fact that Asturias uses the word "nest," (nido) to call the volcano, which gives a more familiar and responsive qualities to such a large, and potentially dangerous earth form. I have to agree with points mentioned in the short letter by Paul Valéry at the beginning of the book, in the way that the ideas brought forward in Leyendas de Guatemala is comparable to a 'tropical dream' because often, you find yourself lost in this magical world that seems too fun and absurd to be reality! I think that the compilation of legends is a balance (at times not equal) or myth and reality that teach the reader about the Mayan traditions while holding on the playful tone throughout.
Anyways, those were just my initial impressions about the homework…now to study more Spanish vocabulary so it doesn't take me hours to do the readings! :/

Fort Campbell MP Kills Girlfriend
Imagine how angry you have to get to argue with your girlfriend, grab her by the hair, and shoot her in the head.
Some people are just not fit to own guns.
Please leave a comment.

But don't you, Jade and your sock-puppet all say that the military and police are the ones that should have guns?ReplyDelete
I don't say that. But, by all means don't let that stop you from saying I say it.ReplyDelete
it is interesting that I just found about this story through your blog. There is little mention of it on the national news wire services and Yahoo News main news page. The lack of substantial coverage by the national news media allows the public to be kept ignorant of the crimes done by US service members and enables chicken hawk politicians corrupted by defense corporations to continue funding a never ending war. Reading your blog and seeing news stories like the Ft. Campbell shooting is like someone reading my blog and learning there are over 700 military bases around the world costing over 200 billion dollars a year to maintain. Like ole Silvio Berlusconi said, if it is not on television, it does not exist. The new book by Andrew Bacevich, Washington Rules, will give readers a good starting point and introduction into why America is in perpetual war in Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.....ReplyDelete

Basically, women love vogue more than boys. For a fashion home to be eligible to be an official 'high fashion' home, a designer or firm must register with the Syndical Chamber for Haute Couture, a physique of designers primarily based in Paris and governed by the French Division of Style Industry that includes many international designers.
This is fairly common – the fashion trade is a copycat business- most fashions hanging in the shops are knock-offs of another company. Not solely does a vogue forecaster need to have in depth data of fashion but she or he should even be inventive and surely have the skills necessary to research and analyze potential traits, colours, materials and patterns.
Due to exhibits like Undertaking Runway, there are lots of individuals whose curiosity has been rose towards the style trade, completely, style design. With only the creativeness as a limit, programmers and designers have created costume up games that feature almost each celebrity and character that there is, and even groups of girls.
It is comprehensible that designers are nervous about such stuff however interacting with prospects will be useful to designers as well. If you wish to change into a style designer, it will be significant that you set realistic goals for your self. There are actually few vogue designers that they do not offer, so it's positively going to be worth your whereas to test them out either on-line or off and see what they've out there.
As a fashion designer, you could have to have the ability to create a prototype in order that the producer knows what the clothes will appear like. Ritu Kumar's boutiques characteristic a multifaceted showcase encompassing the easiest of Indian design, with specially produced range of high vogue garments and equipment utilizing silk, leather-based and cotton.

Botanical Gestures, a show with Katherine Farris at Eclectic Gallery
May 12 - June 14, 2014
Opening reception video from May 15, 2014.
2170 Oak Bay Avenue, Victoria, BC
In humans, gestures are a form of non-verbal communication in which body movements send messages or express moods. These non-verbal behaviours are often eloquent and poignant ways to communicate states of being or emotion. Plants, particularly flowers, have long enhanced our social connections and health. The simple gesture of giving flowers can be a compelling expression of joy, grief, thankfulness, remembrance, condolence, love. In Botanical Gestures, Katherine and Louise use the act, the "gesture," of painting to explore the synchronicity between what we seek to express with plants and flowers and the responses they elicit.
There is generosity in this gesture that triggers deeply rooted responses, elevating mood, strengthening relationships, engaging memory. We associate plants and flowers with beauty, fragility, exuberance, tenaciousness, vibrancy, restraint, extravagance, simplicity, complexity―a spectrum of qualities we display in living and dying.

A toxicology suite adapted for comparing parallel toxicity responses of model human lung cells to diesel exhaust particles and their extracts
2015By Turner, Jane ; Hernandez, Mark ; Snawder, John E. ; ...Source: Aerosol Sci Technol. 49(8):599-610.
Alternative Title:Aerosol Sci Technol
Personal Author:
Description:Epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to airborne particulate matter can be an important risk factor for some common respiratory diseases. While many studies have shown that particulate matter exposures are associated with inflammatory reactions, the role of specific cellular responses in the manifestation of primary hypersensitivities, and the progression of respiratory diseases remains unclear. In order to better understand mechanisms by which particulate matter can exert adverse health effects, more robust approaches to support in vitro studies are warranted. In response to this need, a group of accepted toxicology assays were adapted to create an analytical suite for screening and evaluating the effects of important, ubiquitous atmospheric pollutants on two model human lung cell lines (epithelial and immature macrophage). To demonstrate the utility of this suite, responses to intact diesel exhaust particles, and mass-based equivalent doses of their organic extracts were examined. Results suggest that extracts have the potential to induce greater biological responses than those associated with their colloidal counterpart. Additionally, macrophage cells appear to be more susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of both intact diesel exhaust particles and their organic extract, than epithelial cells tested in parallel. As designed, the suite provided a more robust basis for characterizing toxicity mechanisms than the analysis of any individual assay. Findings suggest that cellular responses to particulate matter are cell line dependent, and show that the collection and preparation of PM and/or their extracts have the potential to impact cellular responses relevant to screening fundamental elements of respiratory toxicity.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — CUTTING CARBS? HERE ARE 5 HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
When we eat carbs, the body breaks them down into sugar glucose. Later, glucose goes into the bloodstream, and insulin hormones convert it into energy.
If we eat more carbs than what our bodies need, the excessive glucose is turned into fat. Therefore, reducing carbs intake can be beneficial for overweight individuals who aim to lose weight and improve their overall health.
Keep in mind that carbohydrates are the main source of energy for our bodies. Hence, cutting carbs entirely of your diet is not recommended since it could lead to serious health repercussions.
For those who are considering a low-carb diet, read this post about how to cut carbs with 5 simple steps and then read on for some healthy low carb alternatives we have gathered here for you to try:
For 100 grams of cauliflower, there are only 5 grams of carbohydrates. This veggie is a good source of potassium, calcium, and vitamin C.
• 1 cauliflower head
• Olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions
• salt and pepper
1. Chop the cauliflower into medium pieces. Blend it in the food processor until having a texture like rice. Be careful not to over-process the cauliflower.
2. Preheat a skillet and add the oil.
3. Add the cauliflower and scallions. Season it with salt and pepper.
4. Saute over medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes.
For 100 grams of zucchini, there are only 3.1 grams of carbs. Zucchini's main nutrients are potassium and vitamin A.
• 2 medium zucchini
• Olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Pepper flakes, salt, and pepper
• 1 large diced tomato
• Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup of chopped basil leaves
For the zucchini noodles
We highly recommend using a spiralizer to cut the zucchini into noodles, since this tool makes the process easier and you get longer noodles. However, you can also use a julienne peeler.
1. Cut the ends of the zucchini and cut it into noodles with your preferred kitchen aid.
Making the pasta
1. Set a pan on medium heat. Add the oil, garlic, and chili flakes.
2. After 30 seconds, add the zucchini noodles. Let them cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Don't overcook them, or they will become saggy.
3. Add the tomatoes and basil leaves.
4. Season the zoodles with salt and pepper.
5. Add as much Parmesan cheese as you want.
• 1 cauliflower head
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup goat cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• Salt and pepper
• Pepperoni, optional
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2. Bring water to a boil, add the cauliflower and let it cook until tender. Remove it from the water and let it cool.
3. In a food processor, blend the cauliflower until reaching a rice texture.
4. Drain the cauliflower as much as possible. Put the rice in a clean cloth and squeeze the water out.
5. In a large bowl, add the cauliflower, eggs (stirred), goat cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
6. Spread the "cauliflower dough" onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden. Remove from the oven and flip it. Bake the remaining side for
5 minutes.
7. Add pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperonis. Bake for around 3–5 minutes.
Kale is low in carbs and rich in potassium and vitamin A.
• Kale
• Olive oil
• salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2. Tear down the kale leaves into smaller pieces.
3. Put the kale on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt.
4. Bake for 10 minutes or until the leave's edges are slightly brown.

Despite setting a custom game profile for Overwatch, in which I have turned AMD Chill OFF, EVERY time I launch Overwatch, AMD Chill is being turned back ON in the Radeon Game Profile.This is the only game I have that Radeon Settings does this with and it's driving me crazy!
It literally turns the setting back ON as the Overwatch game client starts loading...every freaking time! I have over 30 other games and this is the only one Radeon Settings borks like this. What's worse is, even though the Chill min FPS is defaulted to 70fps, Overwatch performance drops to literally less than 10FPS when Chill arbitrarily decides to activate (which had happened even while playing in a match).
I tried ALT+Tab to Radeon Settings to turn Chill off again once the game launches but then it TURNS BACK ON as soon as I ALT+Tab back to Overwatch. Which means, the only way to turn the damn thing off is to remember to use the hotkey to turn it off EVERY time I launch the game.
WTF is going on here??? This is just stupid on so many levels. I've checked every setting in Overwatch (which I run at Ultra settings without issue so long as Chill doesn't screw with performance) and nothing seems to have any effect on this stupid setting getting turned on all the damn time. I even tried turning the min FPS up to 144 to match the max, but as soon as Overwatch regains focus, the damn thing gets reset back to 70 FPS min!
Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this and someone has found a solution. Even better, it would be great if someone from AMD could take a look!
[Capture1.JPG] - This is what I set the custom profile to before launching Overwatch.
[Capture2.JPG] - This is what Radeon Settings keeps setting it to as soon as Overwatch has focus, no matter how many times I turn it off or increase the max FPS.
This happens to me too. r9 280x vaporx(dual fan), fx 8320(oced)

I don't think it's going to be as much fun, hair-pullingly, jaw-droppingly fun, following a competent mayor as it was, you know, that other, previous mayor. The words, posts aren't going to write themselves as they once did. Not everything you set out to explain will start with the basic disclaimer: I couldn't make this shit up if I wanted to.
But I'm prepared to take the trade-off and accept that, in going forward, while things on the mayoral front may be more dry and issues oriented, they're also NOT GOING TO BE TOTALLY INSANE! TOTALLY, LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW, EVEN MAKES JAY LENO SEEM FUNNY INSANE! (Jay Leno's still doing late night, right?)
Yesterday, mayor-elect John Tory responded reasonably and not in the least big unhingedly when asked about city transportation staff's intention to start narrowing road lanes where possible to dimensions that improved safety for all users, made extra space available when applicable for bike lanes, wider sidewalks, all the while seeking to reduce traffic congestion by making things run more smoothly if not faster.
We all know how the current mayor would've reacted. A blustery War on the Car bellow. He would huff and puff and blow hot air all over the transportation department, vowing not to rest until this bureaucratic, downtown elitist plot against all things good and drivey was soundly beaten back to the drawing board.
The mayor-elect had instead at least taken time to familiarize himself with the issue beyond a 4 word title. He was humble enough to admit he wasn't fully up on the matter but as far as he could tell, the staff was proceeding with the intention of ensuring congestion was not going to be made worse. It might get slightly better, if the mayor-elect understood correctly.
It was a far cry from the kind of thing we've come to expect from our mayor over the past four years. Hell, it was even a near cry from Tory's intemperate (relatively speaking) reaction last week to the news of city staff seeking an injunction against the taxi app company, Uber. This time out, Tory didn't reflexively react. (I've used Uber. Uber is good. Stop messing with Uber.) He laid out his priority. That any change couldn't cause more congestion. He'd be watching 'like a hawk' to make sure it didn't. If lane narrowing didn't do that, if it even helped to ease congestion as transportation staff suggested it might, the mayor-elect wouldn't have a problem with the idea.
I may disagree with what Tory deemed to be a priority. Safety for all users of our streets, and a move toward more equal usage on what is ultimately a public space would be my preference over the rule of private vehicles. Moving people not just cars and all that. "It's all about safety, not just for the people in the vehicle, but also for our vulnerable road users," according to the city's manager of pedestrian projects, Fiona Chapman.
Still, the loudest, dumbest voice in the room wasn't that of the mayor-elect which, by Toronto 2010-2014 standards, is a step in the right direction. In more combative, always campaigning hands, this plan could have been used as a divisive, wedge issue to pit suburban-urban camps against one another. The idea is not a 'radical' one, as Tory pointed out. There is no sort of Toronto exceptionalism when it comes to traffic and traffic planning. If it worked in other places, why not give it a try here?
While mayor-elect John Tory remains hawkishly car-biased, that he stepped back and gave room for city staff to do their jobs should be noted and applauded (especially by those of us who are publicly declared non-fans of the man). Who'dve thunk reasonableness would feel like such a breath of fresh air around here. But, you know, there it is.

Online Doctorate in Educational Leadership
Doctorate in Educational Leadership Programs
If you are interested in getting your online doctorate in educational leadership there are several options. We all know that in today's fast paced world, it is hard to find a college or university that fits into our schedules. So, what exactly is a doctorate in educational leadership?
A person that is interested in becoming a school administrator, psychologist, or a college professor would obtain a doctorate in educational leadership. People that obtain this degree have Ph.D. or Ed. D. behind their name. Most superintendents of school districts have this classification. Doctorate degrees can be obtained be anyone who already has a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in a related field. So if you have both in a related education field, you may want to obtain your doctorate, even if you do not want to obtain a higher position. It is the highest degree you can achieve. If you want people to call you doctor, then this may be something you really want to do. Doctorate degrees are very intense and require a lot of work, but if you have the time, it is well worth your while. Not only will you be achieving the highest degree possible, but your pay will increase as well.
The University of Phoenix offers an online doctorate programs in educational leadership, educational leadership with a specialization in curriculum and instruction, and educational leadership with a specialization in educational technology. There is a one time $45 application fee, which you can complete online. In order to apply you must have the following: a master's degree from an approved college or university that's regionally or nationally accredited, or a comparable degree from a recognized institution outside the United States, a minimum 3.0 GPA on graduate degree posted transcripts, three years of professional work experience in a leadership position, a laptop computer with Internet access, a membership in a research library, and a signed University hardware/software agreement. The cost of the program is $770 per credit in addition to a $125 per course fee for the online courses. Their programs are 62 credits.
Walden University offers doctoral programs in teacher leadership, higher education leadership, and administrator leadership. It costs $50 to apply. In order to apply you must provide: employment history, applicable test scores, program goal statement, official transcripts, and a list of transfer credits. You must also provide them with a goal statement that includes: personal and professional goals, academic and research experience, work and other related experience, personal qualities, and why you have chosen to apply. The cost per quarter credit is $545. The entire program is 96 total credits.
These two programs are the ones that I recommend because they are accredited which means they have passes certain state standards and are a quality university. If you are willing to make the commitment these programs are great because you can do everything completely online. Hopefully, in the end you will obtain your online educational leadership doctorate so people can call you doctor!
