So I'm sitting here in the waiting room of our fertility specialist, checking everyone out. It's funny, how after just a few months of coming here my feelings and attitude have changed. The first time we sat here, my knees were knocking (literally), my palms were sweaty and I couldn't focus on anything else but staring at the door and waiting for this random Dr who I had all my hopes and dreams pinned on, to call my name. I don't remember much from that initial appointment – apart from the list of tests and referrals he sent us home with.
Now I sit here, sipping on my iced latte, and perusing the other women who are sitting around me. I wonder how long they have all been trying? What stage they are up too on this journey. There's a woman across from me whose body language says she is an old hand at this, that she has sat in that chair before, many times, each time hoping it's better news than last time. The girl to my right keeps rubbing her hands on her shorts…Aha! A Newby! Welcome! I hope you get off this rollercoaster early and unscathed!
And then there's me. Somewhere in the middle of these two ladies. Slightly nervous, even though it's just a check-up (more on that later) and a little laid back knowing exactly how the process works.
Oh, and there is the uncomfortable, heavily pregnant woman who is also trying to control her crazy toddler into submission by shaking random things in his face and asking what he is feeling. He's 2, he feels like crying and running around yelling 'no' at the same time. Obviously. She is looking at the 3 of us with a 'Why? Is this what you really want? Take him. Please'. I think she's just stopped in this waiting room to take a load off for a minute.
I guess everyone has their struggles.
My mum reminded me of this recently, that at some point in our lives everyone has a struggle or a challenge that no one else around them has dealt with. Something we can feel empathy and compassion towards but not fully understand the true feelings of that person when we haven't been in their shoes. Don't judge, unless you've walked a mile in their shoes…Something we've all heard but for me personally haven't really thought how true that is.
It's hard to explain to family, or whoever your 'team' is, exactly how you feel. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
It's a fine line between, not wanting to talk about yourself all the time, not wanting to talk about it that particular day, not wanting to upset anyone by truly allowing them to know how terrifyingly scary this all is, and not wanting to say it out loud because then it's real. Some days it's easier than others, and you just have to find the best way of telling people, in a way that they can understand. Not everyone you have on your team will give you everything you need, that's why I personally have a few people who know what's going on, each support in a different way and overall I get what I need. You can't expect one person to give you exactly what you need, especially when you don't really know what that is yourself. That's the beauty of building this 'team' I keep talking about.
For me, I have always struggled with letting people completely into my life, I like to keep people at arm's length to a certain point and only let them as close as I want them to be, especially with my health. I like to have things under control. I'm a control freak. In most areas of my life (apart from the fact that I wear odd socks..on purpose)
For me, this all started about two and a half years ago, when I randomly collapsed at work. Out of nowhere, one Saturday afternoon. I ended up in an emergency with a flurry of scary words and questions being thrown at me.
"How long have you known you have Endometriosis?" Umm about 1.4 seconds
"You'll most likely need surgery" umm what?!
"You have multiple cysts on your ovaries"… Is that normal? Oh, it's not? Right, ok.
"Endometriosis causes infertility" Sorry? Say that again?
This was the first time I didn't hesitate to call for help. My mum. (Sometimes, regardless how incredible your partner is, and mine is top notch, a girl just needs her Mum). Through sobs and snot running down my face, I told her that I needed her.
What do I do? Do I have the surgery? Do I get a second opinion? What happens if I can't have children? Mum! Help me! So it was Mum to the rescue, she flew down (we live in different states) and stayed with me while I had the surgery to remove what they could of the Endo (that's Jargon for Endometriosis and I'm using it mainly because my spell check is annoying the crap out of me each time I type it)
Ok, so the surgery was ok, post-op was painful and at the age of almost 30 asking your mum to shower you brings on a whole new bond. (Sorry about that tattoo you've just noticed Mum, promise I won't have anymore. And yes Mum, I've kept this promise! On a side note, when your Mum tells you at 19 that you'll regret that tattoo, believe her! It's more painful and more expensive to have it removed)
Anyway, the new bond with my Mother. We've always been close, sometimes we talk 5 times a day on the phone. I guess at each stage in your life you need your Mum for different things. But this was a situation that felt bigger than anything I had experienced before. I needed my mum as if I was a little girl who really didn't know how to look after herself. She bathed, fed and put me to bed. It was in these days that I saw her as more than 'Mum'. She was my caregiver, my support person, and my friend. I now understand that the word 'Mum' encompasses so many different people, wrapped up in one person.
It's funny how relationships change, and as you grow older you become more like friends, but there are still times when you don't need them as a friend, you need them as the Mum, as the grown up.
So back to the waiting room (I got a little sidetracked)…I sat and waited patiently while my new friend next to me kept wiping her clammy hands on her clothes. My name is called, in I go. A few pleasantries while I take off my shorts and undies, it's weird how getting undressed and positioning yourself in those stirrups just becomes second nature (I mean buy me dinner and a drink first, or just a drink..am I right?)
Internal ultrasound to see how the injections are working, late last week I had one and it showed we needed to up the dose. It's a fine line with FSH injections – we need to find out the dose my body responds to, you start at a low dose and increase from there. I asked why we can't go up to the highest dose and his response was 'well then you might fall pregnant with 8 babies and find yourself on the cover of New Idea' point taken Doc. Last week I was starting to produce a small follicle, today, I have two lovely follicles on both ovaries that are similar size and could quite possibly ovulate at the same time, increasing our chance of twins. Twins? Two? Right, ok. We made the decision with the Dr before we started that twins would be amazing (for anyone with twins reading this, thinking Wow this girl has no idea! You're right, I don't, and I'll be coming to you for advice!) but we wouldn't want to risk my health or the health of future children by having more than a twin pregnancy. And today that became a real possibility. When I told my future baby Daddy his reply was 'oh cool, one each' (he has even less of an idea than me!)
So now we wait, keep injecting and have another scan later in the week. Although I am super happy that it's all going along smoothly, I am also not getting my hopes up. As our Doctor explained, ovulating is the first steps in the multi-step process, which is fertility treatment. The drug I was on previous to this (Clomid) has left its mark with some side effects that my body needs time to recover from. So we wait.
And Inject.
Ahh yes, the dreaded daily injection. What a bitch! Now, it may not seem like a big deal, once a day, a tiny needle and all for a good cause, but its overwhelming and bloody scary! The first night I had to do it, I lined everything up, re-read the instructions, twice. Slowly put the injection pen together, double checked the ampoule of baby making liquid, and checked the expiry date. Then I put it all to the side and started my procrastination. I made dinner, I made lunch for the next day, I cut up fruit in case I wanted a juice the next morning, I wiped the benches, I fluffed the pillows on the lounge..until I looked up and was told by my partner 'you can't keep putting it off' hmm spoken like someone who doesn't have to put a needle into their own body.
And so I did it. It didn't even hurt. Easy peasy. What is everyone complaining about on these forums I read?!
This is so great I thought, until the second night. I stabbed myself 4 times before I had the guts to keep in and press the button. Wow. This is not easy. This is what everyone is complaining about on these forums I read!
By night 3 and 4 I was a professional. A regular junkie. All done within 3.5 seconds a pat on the back and a bar of chocolate.
So now we are day 9 and so far so good. No nausea, no headaches, no hallucinations. Just a minor episode last night when 'rational' left my body and 'pyscho' entered and I waved the injection pen in the face of my manfriend yelling 'do you want to be injected every day? Do you want me to do this to you? Come on, tell me where do you want it??' Wow. Didn't read that in the 'side effects' leaflet.
Like I said previously, blame it on the hormones. Always the hormones.
So that's where we are at. Injections, hormones, and psychotic outbursts. Ahh the life of infertility, always fun! Let's give a shout-out, to the partners who have to endure crazy needle waving girlfriends and pretend it's "totally ok love, do you want some chocolate now?"
NB: Sorry to my partner for calling him the garlic to my bread in the previous blog…he was embarrassed (by me I think). You are the strawberry to my cream, the bun to my hotdog and the cheese to my macaroni. Choose one or stay with Garlic Bread. Your choice x

The Lin(d)field One Name Group would like to contact any descendants of Robert Linfield who emigrated to Twillingate from Marnhull, Dorset in 1793. We have a lot of information about the descendants, but are still seeking clues as to the English origins of the family.
2 thoughts on "Linfield families of Twillingate, Newfoundland"
I am researching my boyfriends family tree. Surname ANDREWS. His G-G Grandfather Robert Linfield ANDREWS (married Eliza Jane GARLAND) was born in Canada as was his G-G Grandfather Charles Garland ANDREWS. Roberts Parents were Charles ANDREWS and Mary Ann LAW. A census report of them in Canada shows them with a "boarder" named Robert LINFIELD. Charles and Mary were in their 60's and this man was about 20 years older. Given the name of Charles and Mary's son being decades prior to this census and the names matching. I am thinking their sons name is not only a family surname, middle name of a paternal or maternal Grandmother, but possibly named after an Uncle of his mother or father? Can't find the connection. I do see that the families not only lived in the same area in Canada, but also in Dorset England if my research is correct. I would love to give this information to my boyfriend for a Christmas gift. Any assistance or ideas you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You for your time,
Sandy Flake
Lone Tree, Iowa
I would like to have some more information on the Lindfields. My great -great grandmother was Ann Lindfield. Looking to confirm that it was indeed Ann Lindfield and as much information I can on the family. Ann married Joseph Rowsell.

THIS update is really from the recesses of my mind.
Alan and I really like old automobiles, and we were watching the car auctions on TV and the recesses of my mind were opened up. I doubt even my brother and sister remember this episode in our lives.
Dad didn't drive. Oh, he knew how. At least that's what he told us. He told me he learned to drive in a Stutz Bearcat auto. But he wouldn't drive an automobile for as long as I knew him, which was for 58 years. He would, on occasion, state that cars were murder weapons. Well, he was correct that autos do kill a lot of people, or rather the drivers of autos do, most unintentionally. So, he would not drive. But he would be driven. I don't know, maybe it was his Pennsylvania Deutsch heritage. The Amish won't drive, but will ride in cars if someone else is driving.
Mom really wanted a car. I guess she was tired of walking everywhere or taking a bus.
An opportunity came along and was passed on to daddy and mom about an automobile that was for sale. The notice of this opportunity came from one of the deacons in the church. Now, that got me to thinking that maybe the deacons wanted dad to get a car so that he could increase his flock by going into neighboring communities. Dad rode a bicycle if he wanted to get someplace that was a little long on the foot, but mostly he walked -- he walked very, very fast.
This particular car was in good shape mechanically. The church mechanic verified this. He also told daddy that it was a good deal, since the mileage was low.
When mom found out that this car was for sale and it was only $500 she started to give daddy hints that it might be a good idea to get a car. Where she thought we could find $500 when we were living hand to mouth, I haven't the foggiest idea.
She started hinting. She dreamily hinted that she could go visit her sister without taking a bus to Philly, switching to the subway that went out to 69th street, and then transferring to one of the trains that went to Springfield, about a two hour trip one-way, if the connections were timely. And travelling with four rambunctous children wasn't exactly a treat for my mother.
Dad wasn't buying it.
Mom could get to the doctor in Haddon Heights easier. Mom even offered to learn to drive.
Dad wasn't buying it.
And on and on it went.
Needless to say, we didn't get the car. It was beauty, too. It was a 1949 Plymouth, maroon, running boards. The family would have fit in that car.
I even went to bat to try to convince dad that we needed a car. I didn't know why, because my travels included those to which my uncles picked us up and carried us, which for me was a treat. I didn't know at that time that an automobile would have been nice for us to have when I went to college as a commuter. A commuter without an automobile, just bus money and a two-plus hour ride on buses to get to GSC. By auto?: 1/2 hour tops.
Mama really wanted that car, daddy didn't. Daddy won!

So I'm sitting in my car outside of Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah after a long day of tech rehearsal and it is pouring. Not spritzing, not sprinkling….POURING. I sigh because I really don't want to reschedule my shoot but although I photograph engagements all the time I know that this is my couple's only session they'll ever do and I so want it to be as perfect as possible for them. I call them up and they are still good to go and you know what? It was the most fun shoot I've ever done.
I know, I say that a lot.
It really was wonderful! The rain made the colors pop. I loved what they were wearing. They are so cute and fun and in love that it made my cheeks hurt from smiling. The umbrellas were a blast and it looked exactly like springtime in Paris. I know, I've been there. I also know a beautiful song that I sang with my Utah Chamber Artist group entitled April in Paris so not only did I have a wonderful shoot but there was an accompanying soundtrack running through my head…yeah, I do that.
The weather cleared and we had the most beautiful sunset. Plus this platform is where he proposed. It doesn't get much more perfect than that!
p.s. Here's a link to a few more on my facebook business page.

A web application for scheduling patient appointments at a clinic
First the Architecture:
MVC, ORM Entity Framework:
There is nothing special here, this is what a monolith looks like built on top of a Microsoft stack. Well, except maybe the Audit Log built on top of the Database layer. The web application is a collection of static files (scripts, css files, images) Views, UI Logic classes, ORM classes and settings.
SQL Server:
The database layer is a SQL Server version that allows for triggers. You probably already understand where the audit logs are coming from by now. If you do, go ahead and scroll down to the next section.
If you are still reading; We created tables and AuditLog versions of the tables at schema design time. So the database contains both versions of the table. The AuditLog version of the table schema contains couple extra fields, like UserName, LastUpdatedDate etc. Then we created triggers of every table to write the previous version of the data record into its AuditLog table. Note: the AuditLog tables will contain (N * 1) number of records, where N is the number of changes to the record, and the actual table containing the current record. Here is an example:
|User Table:
|Contains 20 records
|AuditLog_User Table:
|Contains 0 records.
|This happens when no changes have been made to the 20 records in the User table.
|User Table:
|Contains 20 records
|AuditLog_User Table:
|Contains 1 record.
|This happens when 1 of the 20 records in the User Table has been updated to contain different information.
At this point the User Table will contain User name for the person who created the original record and the AuditLog record would contain, who created the original record and who updated it.
The Sequence of Events:
The Web Application writes data to the Persistent Database via the ORM attached to the Web Application. The Database (SQL Server web edition) executes a trigger that takes the existing data from the current table and sends it to the AuditLog Table for auditing purposes. If the Audit record is successfully committed, the actual record is then written to the proper table.
Step 1, to strangle this application would be to break down the functionality into services of their own. Depending on the type of functionality required, we would break them down into services. Some of the examples would be Procedure, Search, Config, Notification, Request, Scheduler etc.
CQRS Architecture:
Question is, do we need it? The Answer in this case is, yes we do! The Clinics and Hospitals using this software would want other events to be triggered off of commands executed on this software.
Command Mechanism:
The diagram is self explanatory.
Query Mechanism:
The diagram is self explanatory.

Our Infallible Shield
Day 45
Verse of the day.
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
The mere mention of a shield brings memories of a soldier's armour. A shield is used protecting usually the chest regions. However, a soldier's shield does fail; in fact most times, you find images of a dead soldier with his shield by his side. It failed him. BUT, there's just one infallible shield – GOD.
As for God, His way is perfect…
There are people who try to be shields; some with good intentions, others with not-so-good intentions, but the fact remains that NONE of them come close to God. God's way is perfect, cannot be faulted. Other shields are the converse, nothing near as perfect as the shield that is God (2 Chronicles 32:8).
Related: Our Source Of Sufficiency
The word of the Lord is proven;
To be proven is to have been put to test, and confirmed as having authentic claims. God is big on His word (Luke 21:33), so when He says I am your refuge and strength, He means and honors it; when God asks you to be still, then be still! for He is God Who is well familiar with all that has been and will be!
He is a shield to ALL who TRUST IN HIM.
Is God your shield? Do you trust in Him? Does your confidence lie in your natural abilities and astuteness which can only survive so long? These won't be your refuge when the real storm rages.
You can't take as much care of yourself as God can.

The President of Tanzania John Magufuli says his administration has allocated U.S. $69 million to provide free education between January 2016 to June 2017, according to reports.
Magufuli who has previously made promises to overhaul the education sector says the government will double the allocation saying, "We allocated Sh137 billion [ U.S. $ 62 million] for the provision of free education, but with these challenges, we are looking forward to doubling the amount," the Citizen reported.
In a bid to make education accessible, the country's education ministry last year said it had banned state schools from charging extra contributions of about $100 per year as some families struggled to meet these extra costs.
Tanzania introduced free primary education in 2002, and recently announced that annual fees at secondary schools will be abolished this year.
Although the country has in the past failed to meet UNESCO's Dakar commitment to allocate 20 percent of the national budget into education, President Magufuli has indicated that his government is prioritising the introduction of free education.
A total of 1.3 million pupils have been enrolled for primary school education throughout the country owing to the introduction of the free education policy, the Citizen reported.
The allocation indicates that offering free education is indeed among Tanzania's top priorities in terms of the government's financial allocations.
Expensive school fees continue to be a stumbling block preventing students in many African countries from accessing education, and the development will undoubtedly encourage enrolment levels.
Countries such as the Gambia have also abolished school fees to help increase access to education. Recently, Kaduna State in Nigeria announced it was abolishing primary school fees.

Hey Guys,Hope you doing well. I am really happy with the change in climate, it's so good! Gosh, I am such a big lover of monsoon. I see Praveen from Awesome Cuisine has picked a LG L Double Door Refrigerator so that he can make party through the year. Well, that's a fab option. Speaking of which, my sister's birthday is coming up in some days. She is a fab cook and makes totally awesome smoothies. All this talk of food in Praveen's blog reminds me of my sister. Flipkart is one such place where I can buy anything.
As a blogger, when I think food, I think photos! I can't help it. Over the last few years I have loved to pour over pics in the blogosphere and on Instagram. When I first heard the word "Food Porn" all I could of was YES! Now my sister is, what I would definitely consider a Master Chef in her own right. She loves to cook and what's more she loves to make people happy with her food.
Now, with her birthday coming up, I would like to make her happy too! She is turning 30, yep, the big Three O and my family is planning an all out bash. When it comes to gifts, I often wonder- what do you give to the girl who has it all?
Well, I've been racking my brains and I finally have the answer- I am going to give her the perfect set of memories from the party! I plan to take my photography chops to the next level by ordering a Nikon D5100 DLSR Camera. It shall help me preserve memories of her birthday party. I will click lots of pictures of her birthday party using that camera and will surprise her with a digital collage of her birthday party pictures.
I am sure, this camera will not only take good shots, but it'll help me capture beautiful memories. I can't wait for my sister to have a beautiful party and I definitely can't wait for her to see the collage I create with my new camera.
Earlier today I was checking just awesome video of Flipkart Wish Chain, what's my wish? To see my sister smile! I hope she has many, many more years of smiling ahead of her and I'm able to capture those moments of joy and preserve them for those rainy days! #AbHarWishHogiPoori
Take Care!

Mucocutaneous Leishmania tropica infection in a dog from a human cutaneous leishmaniasis focus

Leishmania tropica is a causative agent of cutaneous leishmanaisis in the Middle East, North Africa and parts of southeastern Europe. Although transmission of L. tropica has been reported as anthroponotic, in Israel it was found to have a zoonotic pattern.
A one year old male Pekingese dog from Maale Adumim, a focus of L. tropica human cutaneous leishmaniasis near Jerusalem, was presented by its owner with a large proliferative red mucocutaneous lesion on the lip between the mouth and nose. Physical examination and a biochemistry panel were normal and a complete blood count showed mild leukocytosis with lymphocytosis and eosinophilia. A biopsy of the lesion was suggestive of the presence of Leishmania organisms. Serology for Leishmania sp. by ELISA was positive and an aspirate from the lesion showed a large number of Leishmania amastigotes. ITS1-HRM-PCR of the lesion was positive and sequencing indicated that infection was caused by L. tropica, which was also cultured from the lesion. Blood PCR was negative. The dog responded well to allopurinol treatment and its lesion shrunk considerably within one month of therapy and healed after two months.
Only a few cases of dog infection with L. tropica have been described to date. They were reported from Morocco and Iran and involved infection of visceral organs. This is the first report of focal mucocutaneous L. tropica infection in a dog and its response to anti-leishmanial treatment. Domestic and wild canines should be evaluated for being possible animal reservoirs for human L. tropica infection in endemic areas or merely accidental hosts.

- Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis
- Dog
- Israel
- Allopurinol
Ma'ale Adumim, the city where the dog described here lives, is a major emerging focus of human cutaneous leishmaniasis where 54 and 73 L. tropica human cases were recorded during 2004 and 2005, respectively. These numbers reflect a sharp increase in the annual incidence from 2 cases per 100,000 residents from 1999 until 2003 to 214 per 100,000 residents in 2004 [6].
Leishmania tropica is an important causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World including the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia and some parts of southern Europe. It has also been described as a rare cause of human visceral leishmaniasis [7]. Although cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. tropica is usually considered an anthroponotic infection transmitted between people directly by phlebotomine sand flies without the involvement of an animal reservoir [8], in Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority it is a zoonosis with the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) as a main reservoir host [9, 10]. Golden jackals (Canis aureus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) have also been found to be infected with L. tropica in Israel and assumed to have a role in transmission of the infection between distant locations, but clinical signs of infection in these wild canids have not been detected [11].
In the domestic dog, L. tropica infection has been described in only a few cases reported from Morocco and Iran where infection was mostly described to involve visceral organs [12–16]. While some surveys described the detection of parasite infection from dog organs by culture or PCR without much detail on the manifestations of disease [14, 16], reports from Morocco described two dogs infected with L. tropica with clinical manifestations similar to those found in canine L. infantum infection including generalized lymphadenomegaly, onychogryphosis, alopecia, keratoconjunctivitis, and also glomerulonephritis in one case [12, 13]. A report from northwestern Iran also described L. tropica in a dog with cutaneous and visceral involvement comparable to canine L. infantum infection [17]. However, an earlier report from Morocco described seven dogs infected with L. tropica that had only dermal manifestations consisting of small facial papules without lymphadenomegaly or splenomegaly [18]. In addition, a five month old pup with multiple lesions adjacent to the eyes, lips and jaw described as mucocutaneous, as well as generalized lymphadenomegaly and visceral infection of the spleen and liver, was reported from central Iran [15].
The dog described in the current report was admitted with a distinctive presentation of a single large proliferative mucocutaneous lesion that contained a large amount of L. tropica amastigotes, which is different from the typical dermal manifestations of canine L. infantum infection and also from the descriptions of visceralizing L. tropica in dogs. The dog did not present with any manifestations of involvement of internal organs or hematological and serum biochemical abnormalities common in visceral infection such as anemia, hyperglobulinemia, or hypoalbuminemia, and there was no indication that infection had progressed beyond the skin as the blood PCR was negative, although such progression cannot be ruled out. The lymphocytosis and eosinophilia found by CBC are not common findings in canine leishmaniasis and could be explained by some unique inflammatory response with an eosinohilic and lymphocytic component. The seropositivity to L. infantum antigen was also reported in other cases of canine L. tropica infection [12, 13] and is not surprising as there is a strong serological cross-reactivity between different Leishmania species. None of the dogs described with L. tropica infection previously have been treated with anti-leishmanial drugs. The excellent initial response to allopurinol treatment and the healing of the dog's lesion indicate that allopurinol used as the major drug against canine L. infantum infection, is also effective against canine L. tropica infections.
This is the first report of focal mucocutaneous L. tropica infection in a dog and its response to anti-leishmanial treatment. Domestic and wild canine infection with L. tropica may be more prevalent in areas of endemic human L. tropica cutaneous leishmaniasis than currently recognized, and canines should be evaluated as possible additional reservoirs for human infection.
This study was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as part of a German-Israeli-Palestinian cooperative project on the Emergence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in the Middle East: 'An investigation of Leishmania tropica in the Palestinian Authority and Israel' (SCHO 448/8-1). Publication of the CVBD9 thematic series has been sponsored by Bayer HealthCare - Animal Health division.

Vast portions of the Rocky Mountain region are being destroyed by natural gas drilling, but the worst is just starting - strip mining for oil shale.
t's still November, but Christmas is arriving early for fossil-fuel extraction companies that have had oil shale on their wish lists for years.
The Bush administration's Interior Department wants to open millions of public acres in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming to oil companies to extract kerogen, a sludgy form of oil, from shale rock. As Bush's days in Washington wind down, his agents are working to give Big Oil a firm toehold on public lands by sidestepping the usual public-appeal process and adopting regulations that give companies a deal on royalties.
New rules would require payment of only a 5 percent royalty on oil shale for the first five years of production, while regular oil and gas wells pay 12.5 to 18.8 percent — a nice gift to energy companies that American taxpayers could end up paying for in environmental degradation?.
The traditional processes for producing oil from shale, which require huge amounts of water and produce millions of tons of CO2, are potentially dangerous for the fragile deserts and high plains of the West. There is too little data on the effects of such invasive extraction.
Experiments are on-going for a less-harmful method that is more resource-friendly. Until new technology is developed — and it is apt to take a decade, researchers say — the federal government should hold back on leases for what amounts to large-scale strip mining for oil.
The economic feasibility of oil-shale extraction waxes and wanes according to the price of oil on the world market. When oil prices are high, it's worth the expense to mine oil from shale — about $37.75 to $65.21 a barrel, compared with $19.50 a barrel for conventional crude. But when oil prices drop, companies abandon the projects, often devastating local economies. Utah saw such boom-bust cycles in the '80s, to our regret.
The rule-setting process for oil shale mining was halted by a congressional moratorium two years ago. That moratorium was allowed to expire this year, largely in response to record-setting fuel prices and the Republican mantra, "Drill, baby, drill." Utah's Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson irresponsibly joined the GOP chorus.
America must wean itself off carbon-based energy. By continuing to provide lavish incentives for oil production, instead of encouraging conservation and alternative energy development, we merely quicken our pace toward catastrophic climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

It was a Bank Holiday and we had been away for the weekend, returning on the Monday evening. Within a couple of minutes of arriving home, one of our neighbours knocked on the door to ask if we knew where the dog lived, which had been barking, whining and howling all day. As we spoke, the next door neighbour to the dog owners came out and said that the owner had sent her a text earlier saying they were out all day and the dog was in the garden, with access to the conservatory. Apparently she had had words with the dog owner before about the dog being distressed when on his own.
As things were getting a bit heated, with a lot of concern for the poor dog, I volunteered to talk to the owners when they returned. I felt that as I hadn't been subjected to the noise all day I would perhaps have a different perspective on things.
The owners returned a while later but as it was then quite late, I decided to leave it until the next day. I duly went and knocked on their front door, with no result - I couldn't even hear the dog barking. I did this two or three times during the day; I believed they were at home as their car was in the drive. By evening time I decided to telephone them - again two or three times over that evening and the next day, with no reply.
So I wrote them a letter, I quote a piece of it "I hope you won't mind me writing this to you but I think it's best that everyone is upfront and honest about these incidents, especially on a small estate like this; "
The entire letter was quite mild and, in my view, placatory. I heard absolutely nothing for a week or so, not even the dog barking! However, on a trip back from the local shop, I passed the neighbour walking the dog and spoke to him, as usual - 'morning, how are you'. His response was to blank me, cross the road to the other side and carry on walking!!
I was very surprised and told him he was rude and then, as I continued walking home, became angry so knocked on his front door and when his wife appeared I asked what I had done to upset her husband. She was obviously quite embarrassed and said she would speak to him. I told her not to upset her neighbours as she might need them one day (I should add that her husband has heart problems and has been 'terminal' for about 11 years).
He hasn't spoken since, to any of the neighbours, but she waves to me from her car when we pass. People are strange ......
BTW the dog disappeared for a while and when he came back didn't bark anymore, so I can only hope he had some anxiety training.

delivering Results
delivering Results
Being one of our partners in business, the development of the delivering Results website was unique and presented us with some interesting challenges. delivering Results provide marketing solutions to their clients that are heavily customised to their clients needs, and bend over backwards to achieve the results their clients seek - they are experts in helping client messages to break out and be noticed.
When delivering Results asked us to redevelop their website, we were ecstatic. We knew this would be a challenge - communicating their unique tone and commitment to their clients was of paramount importance - but we believe that by working closely together, we achieved something great. The website features a non-traditional layout - most sites use a box/grid system to contain page elements, however the dR website features "out of the box" elements, purposely breaking the expected flow of content and forcing the user of the site to pay attention.
Another key feature of the site is the images. These are used across the site to great effect, enhancing and complimenting the text content. The images are also subtly interactive, providing unique engagement to users. On desktop devices, some of the images will start out black and white, but fade to colour when interacted with. On mobile, page elements can't be hovered, so instead these images will fade in to colour when the user scrolls to the image.
Finally, the sticky form on the Home Page provides a great launching point for client engagement. The Form travels down the page with the user, keeping the option for communication open as they navigate the content.
All in all, we're very happy with this project - check it out for yourself!

Chrissy Teigen dares to go bare in Miami Beach
She's baaaccckk.
A few weeks after eating and drinking her way through SOBEWFF, Chrissy Teigen was snapped arriving at MIA Tuesday. Here's to hoping the model — in a hat, shawl and thigh-high boots — brought some lighter clothes along for the trip. The pro was smiling for paparazzi even though at a NYC event Sunday she told InStyle, "It's like, universally known I hate the airport … everyone hates the airport. It's fun to talk and complain about because, No. 1, you're so bored there, and also, everyone is so annoying!"
Teigen was fully dressed in a smile — and that's really it — later in the day frolicking in the surf in Miami Beach in her birthday suit.
But the nudity was legit: She was taking part in a photo shoot with Bruce Weber. Hubby John Legend was close by to cover her up with a robe.
Million Dollar Listing Miami star Chris Leavitt has his own ideas why LeBron James' 12,000-square-foot Coconut Grove mansion just isn't selling like a hotcake. On Realtor.com, the broker says that the reason has nothing to do with bad feelings after King James up and returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Leavitt, director of luxury sales for Douglas Elliman, thinks the $17 million price tag is a tad high "for the area."
"What people really want is Star Island, Palm Island, Indian Creek Island, La Gorce Island or North Bay Road," the broker said. "These are the premier real estate locations in Miami."
And folks who have access to this kind of dough likely do not care who the former resident was.
"At this price point people aren't impressed by who owns it. … The people who buy these homes won't say, 'Oh my God, it's LeBron James' home! I'm going to buy it.'"
James' former teammate, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has a new baby: his spring collection of socks is available for sale. According to a release, the six-piece collection draws on "inspiration from high fashion, pop art and graffiti."
"[It] which embodies my love of art and fashion," said Wade of his fifth line of socks for Stance. "The fusion of pop-art imagery and bold color combinations will inspire my fans to take their style to another level."
Styles — featuring such designs as checkerboards, palm trees and even Miami Beach — can be found at Nordstrom or Stance.com.

Approval of foreign qualifications and vocational qualifications
Many immigrants who come to Norway have gained qualifications or work experience in another country. If you have gained qualifications in a country other than Norway, you should check whether your qualifications are recognised here. Only parts of your qualifications may be recognised meaning you may have to take some additional courses.
It is important to start the process of getting your qualifications recognised as soon as possible because the process often takes a long time. Several bodies are responsible for approving various types of qualifications, however NOKUT (Norwegian Agency for Quality Assurance in Education) can forward your papers to the correct body. All or parts of your qualifications may be recognised, and you can also complete your education in Norway if necessary.
You can read more about the approval of foreign qualifications on NOKUT's website.
If you have experience from an occupation, you can apply for vocational testing. Vocational testing allows adults to demonstrate their skills and knowledge within one or more occupations or fields. Your background, qualifications, work experience, language skills and personal goals will all be analysed. People who want vocational testing must take both a theoretical test and a practical test in their field. Following the test you may receive an offer of training in those areas where you lack the knowledge to gain a craft certificate. You can also receive written documentation describing those fields in which you possess good knowledge.Various rules apply when it comes to who pays for the assessment of informal qualifications and vocational testing. Contact your local authority, Aetat office, or national insurance office for more information.
Does vocational testing open up any opportunities for you?

The Far Reaching -And Positive- Impact Of Europe's GDPR
I have been talking about the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for almost two years. The regulation sets out a single set of rules for all companies operating in the EU. These rules were developed to provide people with greater control over their personal data and incentivize organizations to make meaningful changes to how they collect, process, and store that data. The GDPR is also the reason why you received so many emails last spring from sites that you visit and newsletters that you subscribe to asking you to update your information.
Going Beyond Security: Video In Today's Classrooms
While video is critical to the security of K-12 schools and universities to help detect threats and investigate incidents, it is increasingly becoming a critical tool beyond protecting students, faculty, staff and assets. Going further than simply gathering footage, educational facilities are beginning to see the value in adding intelligent video software, such as analytics, to their arsenal. This results in an innovative approach to not only security, but also operations within a school.
What Cities Can Learn From Their Data
The 21st century is shaping up to be the century of data. We are collecting more and better data than ever before. And the possible applications include everything from improved security and more efficient movement through public spaces to better allocation of resources and strategic planning. But, while access to this data can help improve our lives in truly meaningful ways, we are also facing new challenges about how to better collect, understand, and make use of it.

Real Talk About School Security
It's graduation time for high-schoolers and college students alike. The streets here are awash in young people in suits, prom dresses, and graduation garb. I love to see those fresh faces full of excitement, and a little apprehension, about the future. But it is not lost on me that, in response to recent events, while so many young people are experiencing this important rite of passage, many of us are having —or not having— difficult conversations about school safety. For anyone avoiding the conversation, it might help to know what the research about gun violence in schools is telling us. The current debate around school safety is centered on mass shootings. But research to be published later this year by Professor James Alan Fox and doctoral student Emma Fridel shows that mass school shootings are rare events. They have found that, on average, mass murders in the U.S. occur between 20 and 30 times per year while, on average, only about one of those incidents takes place at a school.

100 Safest Cities In The U.S. For 2018
NeighborhoodScout® research reveals the 100 safest cities in America with 25,000 or more people, based on the total number of property and violent crimes per 1,000 residents.

Wildlife Ambassador
"#WildlifeAmbassador" looks good in your bio… Our beloved planet is in environmental turmoil. Our South Africa is in the midst of a drought. Our rivers and dams are drying up. Our animals and indigenous plants are drastically decreasing in number… Habitat loss, climate change and poaching are among the most alarming challenges faced by wildlife today. But do we care? Maybe. Or actually, yes,
Without an online presence, you do not exist. Period. You are only as relevant as your last post. And to hip, vibrant youth (much like myself, of course) being anything other than relevant is simply NOT AN OPTION. Think about it: Being the last to know, or worse, comment, tweet and #hashtag is literally social suicide. Everyone is talking about "it", can't stop talking
Shakespeare is alive
With every lol, omg, @ and "mwah", I cringe a little. Through my work with youth, I have come to realise that life can become pretty fast paced. Sadly, I too am guilty of falling into the trap of trying to spare a few seconds by sending a message that read: "gtg running l8" And as I hit the send button, I felt my
