Curb Extensions Act of 2019
Introduced: May 7, 2019
Co-introducers: Councilmembers Anita Bonds, Elissa Silverman, Brianne Nadeau, Mary Cheh, Brandon Todd, and Charles Allen
Summary: To require the installation of curb extensions to reduce pedestrian crossing distances when the District performs reconstructions and repavings of roadways.
Councilmember Grosso's Introduction Statement
Thank you Chairman Mendelson.
All road users, and especially pedestrians, are incredibly vulnerable at intersections.
Unfortunately, we are constantly reminded of this fact, as many of the pedestrians killed recently on our streets were in a crosswalk, like Monica Adams Carlson and Cora Louise Adam just a few blocks away from here on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The standard now is for pedestrians to cross the parking lanes before they have a chance to cross the general travel lanes.
This makes them less visible to cars, extends the crossing time, and makes it too easy for drivers to park in areas that block crosswalks.
Today, along with my colleagues Brianne Nadeau, Elissa Silverman, Charles Allen, Brandon Todd, and Anita Bonds, I am introducing the Curb Extensions Act of 2019 to require the District Department of Transportation to install curb extensions whenever it performs road reconstruction or repavement work.
Curb extensions prioritize pedestrian safety by raising crosswalks to sidewalk level and shortening crossing distances. They also provide an opportunity to beautify our streets and expand our urban tree canopy with additional space for greenery.
Further, curb extensions narrow the turning radius for vehicles, forcing cars to slow down at intersections and effectively making our streets and sidewalks safer for all modes of transportation, not just pedestrians.
We need to change the culture at DDOT in order to achieve our Vision Zero goals of eliminating serious injuries and deaths on our roads. This will never happen as long as we, by default, continually rebuild our dangerous intersections in their same unsafe configurations.
Thank you and I welcome any co-sponsors.

Everyone loves a puppy. They're cute. They're fluffy. They have puppy breath.
But they're also a lot of work. You can't do it all yourself.
You probably have a veterinarian lined up. And a trainer. You know where to buy pet supplies.
But have you thought about hiring a dog walker?
"That comes later," you think. "Once the puppy is older. What can a dog walker do with a puppy that doesn't even know how to walk on a leash yet?"
You'd be surprised.
Crate Training Your Puppy is Good. But There's One Catch.
Puppies naturally don't want to poop where they sleep. But if your puppy is stuck in a crate all day, he'll reach a point where he just can't hold it anymore. Coming home in the middle of the day to let him out isn't always an option.
Once that happens a few times, your house training efforts will all be undone.
By scheduling a dog walker to come by during the day, your puppy won't reach that point of, "Gotta go now!" He'll still get plenty of quiet time to nap, though.
A Dog Walker Helps You Get More Out of Your Training Investment
Practice makes perfect, right? Especially when it comes to puppy training. The more you reinforce what your trainer is teaching your puppy, the faster she'll pick up the commands. And the more likely she is to be an enjoyable part of your family.
Since your puppy isn't up to long walks yet, your dog walker instead can spend the scheduled time practicing sit and stay with your puppy. When your puppy is on the leash with your walker, good leash manners are getting reinforced.
Just don't expect your dog walker to actually train your puppy.
Exploring the World
The puppy's breeder, trainer, and veterinarian have probably explained the importance of socialization to you.
But socialization can be hard to do if you don't want to take your puppy to the dog park because too many dogs are there after work. Plus, you don't always have the time to properly introduce your puppy to the people and dogs you meet on walks.
Scheduling a dog walker, however, can give your puppy twenty minutes or more of time out and about in the world, seeing new things and making new friends. And your dog walker is experienced enough to recognize a bad situation and avoid it so your puppy has fewer negative experiences.
A Note:
Your veterinarian will let you know when your puppy is old enough to socialize. Before then, you'll want to limit your puppy's outdoor time to your yard.
Very young puppies don't have a strong enough immune system to fight off some of the bacteria and viruses your puppy will encounter in a walk off of your property.
Your dog walker will keep your puppy in your yard for as long as necessary. And when you have your veterinarian have decided your puppy is ready to go on safari, your dog walker will be ready to go, too.
How to Choose a Dog Walker for Your Puppy
Not every dog walker is suitable for walking a puppy. Puppies require a lot of time, patience, and the appropriate skills to help you continue your puppy's training. Some dog walkers prefer working with older dogs.
Start with dog walkers who offer a puppy program. Then schedule a meet-and-greet with the walker to evaluate their comfort level with your puppy. During the meet-and-greet, ask about the walker's experience with puppies like yours. If the walker has only ever worked with small or medium breed puppies and you have a Malamute, you may want to keep looking.
Dog Walkers Valuable for Your Puppy, Too
Knowing you won't be coming home to a messy crate and an overexcited puppy can be a relief when you're heading home after a hard day of work. You'll get to enjoy time with your new friend, not just take care of his basic necessities.

Poor patient-reported outcomes results in poor response to TNFi treatment in axial spondyloarthritis patients
Primary tabs
According the 'Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology', the axial spondyloarthritis patients who reported a large symptom burden at baseline had poor response rates and low retention rate for TNFi.
Krabbe S and colleagues conducted nation wide DANBIO registry, observational cohort study to examine the effectiveness of TNFi treatment for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients with extremely poor patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
The patients with axSpA who started first TNFi during the year 2011-2016 were divided as per the baseline Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index. The BASDAI > 9.0 to ≤ 10.0 was considered as poor BASDAI. Chi-squared tests were used to evaluate the treatment responses after six months in patients with extremely poor PROs were compared with other patients. Log-rank tests were used to examine the retention rates. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), pain score and patient global score were used for similar analysis.
Out of total 1396 patients with median age 39 years, 60% men participated in this study. The patients with extremely poor baseline BASDAI [63 patients (5%)] were often women, ever smokers, and human leucocyte antigen-B27 negative, and had higher BMI (body mass index). The response rates were poorer in patients with extremely poor BASDAI vs the rest of the patients. Lower 1-year treatment retention (51% and 68%) were seen in poor BASDAI patients. More, similar results were established for patients with extremely poor BASFI, pain score, and patient global score.

Extremely poor patient-reported outcomes are associated with lack of clinical response and decreased retention rate of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor treatment in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.

The most important thing you can do in a pharmacy is make sure you check and double check your work. The next most important thing is to make sure the pharmacist checks and signs off on every prescription filled in the pharmacy—it is law.
I have a personal experience with medication errors. I just went to have a prescription medication filled for my daughter the other day. The medication she was to receive was predisone. She had been prescribed this medication a couple of months earlier, so I knew which drug she was to receive and what I should expect at the pharmacy.
However, when I went to pick up her prescription and as I was reviewing what they had filled, I noticed the drug was in a liquid form instead of the pill form. I told the pharmacist that my daughter had had a pill form a couple of months ago for this same medication, and he said this was a different drug. They had filled her prednisone prescription with prednisolone. It with a different drug that sounded alike and was very similar but was not the same medication.
The pharmacist tried to convince me that prednisolone was what had been prescribed and not prednisone. I asked them to double check to make sure, and after checking he came back and said "I am sorry we missed that! You are right it was for predisone.'' The pharmacist had signed off on this medication to be dispensed to me, and somewhere in the process an error was made. This error would have affected my daughter's therapy and would not have been good for her treatment. It was a big error on their part and one that happens far too often.
My story highlights that it is not only important to check prescriptions as a pharmacy technician—you should also check your own prescriptions when picking them up at a pharmacy. What brought this medication error to my attention was that the drug was dispensed as a liquid instead of pill form. Never hesitate to ask the pharmacy to double check your prescription, especially if you notice anything different.
Pharmacy technicians play a crucial part in preventing medication errors. We are often the first ones to receive a prescription and usually the last person to handle the prescription before it leaves the pharmacy. Be constantly on the lookout for possible sources of medical errors. Adopt safety-oriented work practices to ensure the safety of patients and to avoid adverse patient outcomes.

Safe Step Stool for Fast Lubes by:David C. DuPont
Fast lubes have several choices when it comes to purchasing a safe step stool for their shops. Let's look at a couple of the step stools to see which will work best for your fast lube shop. It doesn't matter if your fast lube is a Jiffy Lube, Kwik Kar Lube or a Valvoline Instant Oil Change facility, the problem is the same, "How can you get the safest step stool for your shop?"
Would you like legs with that?
Look at the step stool that you have now, does it have legs? If it does you are looking at the weakest part of your fast lube step stool. The most popular step stool for fast lubes is an aluminum step stool with round rubber pads on the bottom of the legs. I've seen one of these step stools when the welds crack. It pretty much renders the step stool useless and the owner wasn't happy because the aluminum step stool was less than one year old.
Will your technicians be able to service 44 trucks?
Do you ever have different size trucks come into your service bays? Do you have different employees servicing these trucks? There is one step stool built for fast lubes that addresses both of these problems. It's called the Shure-Step step stool. If a 44 truck shows up at your fast lube and your shortest employee is servicing it, no problemjust stack 2 Shure-Steps up and your working height just increased from 10 inches high to 16 inches high. Pretty cool, huh?
Safety First
Before you purchase a safe step stool for your fast lube, ask yourself what's important. Do you want a lightweight easy to move step stool? Do you want a safe step stool that will last? Is having a warranty important? Do you want your safe step stool to have a load rating? These are qualities you will have to decide for yourself, but be sure to ask questions when purchasing your safe step stool for your fast lube.
David C. DuPont has been finding solutions to step stool problems for 9 years. He has helped people solve their problems by helping them find bathroom step stools, kitchen step stools, wooden step stools, kids step stools, plastic step stools and step stools for senior citizens. To see his step stools or to contact him to find a stepstool for you, go to www.Shure-Step.com
About the author
In 1995 David set out to get a patent on his idea and the original "L" shaped Shure-Step was born.In 1996 the Shure-Step won the Top 20 Tools Award.This was a big boost for David and his product. Because of his involvement in the community and the rapid sales increase David was nominated for and won the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the Greater Houston Partnership.

On November 18th the US History class went on a field trip to Queen Creek, AZ, to gain a deeper understanding of America's Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Each year the American Heritage Festival hosts a grand scale, highly interactive educational presentation of diverse civilian and military aspects of historic American life as portrayed by a large and experienced cast of historical interpreters in Queen Creek, just two hours north of our high school campus.
Included in this educational field trip were reenactments, dramatic portrayals of both famous and everyday men, women, children, musicians, artisans, craftsmen, singers, colonists, pioneers, mountain men, soldiers and more. We listened to speeches by famous Americans of the past, heard live historic music, saw historic fashion worn by ladies and gentlemen around "camp," and watched battle reenactments from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
After leaving the festival we happened across a cotton field. We stopped to look at the cotton, as this was a very important crop grown in the south and harvested by slaves. "King Cotton" became a source of contention during the Civil War as it was the foundation of southern economy, southern culture, and southern pride.

Bathroom. Thursday , March 22nd , 2018 - 08:16:54 AM
Quote from Luxury Bathroom Design Ideas :
Incorporate a fireplace in the bathroom
Well, we have seen a fireplace in the kitchen but in a bathroom? Instead of picking up a bathtub, install a sunken bath made up of marble. When you dip in the sink, you can notice the flames flickering in the fireplace. It will be extravagant.
Thus, these luxury bathroom design ideas will create a celebrating bathroom experiences for you.

Forest Project Crew Leaders Sara and Ashleigh, in charge of the two northernmost work sites in the Herbert & Hyonja Abrons Woodland, sum up the last few weeks of this year's Project, and reflect on the summer as a whole.
A lot has happened since the last time we've updated. The summer has flown by and our young interns have fled the forest. It's lonely now at Wave Hill's Forest Project, but we had an awesome summer filled with hard work, amazing memories and made lifelong friends. Our last weeks at Forest Project were jam-packed with field trips, learning experiences, field work and tearful goodbyes. Now it's just us crew leaders left to clean up and box away Forest Project until next summer.
Our hard work paid off this summer. All of the sites look great despite the unusually rainy and scorching hot summer, and the crews are proud of their hard work. All of the crews managed to finish up their trail maintenance, adding water bars, trail bars and mulching to make everything look beautiful and protect our soils from erosion, as well. Some of us even had time to finish up a little last-minute weeding. Please come by and check out all the great work our interns completed this summer and enjoy some time in a truly beautiful natural area.
The Interns also wrapped up their college courses at Lehman College, earning credits in Environmental Science or Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It was a rigorous five weeks, but the students came out with some amazing end-of-the-semester projects that taught us lots about our sites at Wave Hill. The Environmental Science students created amazing 15- to 20-page papers that told the natural history of our woodlands, using research and documents from years past as well as collecting original data from our sites. The culmination of the GIS coursework was the creation of informative and visually pleasing digital maps that provided a variety of details about the ecological makeup of our woodlands.
In between our intense field and course work we had some amazing guest speakers and workshops. Gabriel Willow, nature journalist and bird watcher extraordinaire, got us all excited about the natural habitats at Wave Hill. He taught us how to view the gardens in a different way when he guided our Environmental Science students in a nature journaling workshop. We drew up-close pictures of some of the objects in our gardens which taught us how to notice all the small details we used to miss. With the GIS class we engaged in an exciting bird-walking project, where we finally learned to put a face to the annoying squawking catbird that haunted us all summer. We also learned to identify some less obnoxious birds like the beautiful American Goldfinch, blue jays and robins. We updated this info into an iphone application called WildLab which helped us identify the birds and add their locations to a set of data that scientists can use to study bird-migration patterns.
We also let the kids take a day off from the hard work at Wave Hill—to do more hard work at Alley Pond Park in Queens! Ok, so it wasn't really a day off, but we enjoyed the change of scenery. We joined the New York Parks Department's Natural Resources team for the day to help pull invasive species from the areas in the park where NYC has planted new seedlings, which is part of the MillionTreesNYC initiative. We also saw the beautiful man-made freshwater and saltwater wetlands, stopping to gape back at the schools of fish.
After such an impressive, overwhelming but fun summer we needed some time to celebrate and say our goodbyes. Our final Monday together was spent at Pelham Bay Park, where we again helped out the Natural Resources team by pulling some prickly pesky mile-a-minute from the area surrounding Orchard Beach. At lunch, Barry provided us with some delicious homemade burgers, hotdogs and some veggie burgers for those of us who refuse to mow on meat. We enjoyed the scenery and played some soccer and frisbee on the open field. The afternoon was spent going on a nature walk through Orchard Beach, observing fiddler crabs and watching the ocean from the rocky shore.
After a long summer together we finally had a chance to share little known talents with the group. We have spent so much time together sweating on the field it was hard to believe that some of us still had secrets to share. Our interns stunned us with their amazing talents singing, playing piano, dancing, rapping and hula-hooping for our Forest Project family. The interns (and their parents) also wowed us with some delicious food to share at our pot-luck lunch. We all went back for seconds, thirds and fourths of jerk chicken, curry chicken, fried chicken rice and beans, roti, beet salad, cakes, cookies and doughnuts.
Our luscious lunch was a perfect way to end our summer together, but we didn't all have to say goodbye. Some of our talented interns came back on Friday to present our program (and their hard work on the field and in the classroom) at the Green Teens Meet and Greet at the Horticultural Society of New York. They also got to learn about the green work other teens are doing around the city while practicing their networking skills. Everyone there was super impressive and we are sure that the future is in good hands.
Now we are left with closing work, piles of paper work, clean up and fond memories. Until next year, faithful readers!

Hair Loss
aka Alopecia, Male or Female Pattern Baldness, Alopecia Areata, Cicatricial Alopecia, Telogen Effluvium
Hair loss can present in a variety of ways including a decrease in hair density, a change in hair texture or areas of bald patches. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent and is usually categorized as non-scarring or scarring. Some forms of hair loss are genetic, while others are related to autoimmune conditions or other systemic diseases, malnutrition, anemia (i.e. low iron), thyroid disorders or medications. Dr. Caren Campbell can examine your scalp, perform necessary testing and help formulate a treatment plan with you that is appropriate for your specific form of hair loss.
How can you diagnose what is causing hair loss?
A good medical history including on occasion labs (e.g.: routine labs +/- hormone and vitamin levels, iron studies, thyroid studies, and autoimmune markers) and a physical exam is essential. On occasion, a small sample of the scalp is taken (aka a biopsy) to look more closely at the hair follicles under the microscope. Putting this information together can help determine your specific form of hair loss.
Can hair loss be treated?
Yes. Dr. Campbell can formulate a specific treatment plan for your based on your form of hair loss. There are a variety of treatments available for hair loss, but they vary based on the cause.
Some treatment plans are aimed at halting the progression of hair loss, while others can also potentially regrow hair. Consult with Dr. Campbell regarding to discuss realistic expectations for regrowth.

The Protagonist in the movies, especially when there is a moment of realization is shown as the one person in a crowded street, facing a sea of humanity as they rush past her (look i chose to make the protagonist a she coz I can write and relate to her well) in their black or grey clothes, while she looks perplexed/afraid/annoyed/whatever based on her histrionic abilities, while a bright coloured scarf unwinds itself from her neck. Cue the inspirational/sorrowful/suspense music.
Truly I am in such a close up and then tracking shot right now. Except, maybe if the production values were reversed, I am the one in the black dress looking perplexed, as people, family, friends, acquaintances rush past in their colorful chic clothes, creating this storm of chatter and yet not really calling out to me. I think it suits me just fine. I want to be left alone. I do not want to make meaningless conversation.
All I feel like doing is to just sit on my bed, watch marathon TV shows, drink endless cups of tea and occasionally check phone or facebook. Nothing interests me any longer. Nothing except music and maybe food to an extent. But that's it. I find most people tiresome, boring. I can't talk about my feelings or dreams because I fear they will not be understood. The fear is from the fact that I did try talking to a very very close friend but he didnt get it. I can't blame him coz he is not used to such complexities in life.
I am losing interest in my job. I do not want to be told sit here, walk there, eat now, pay now. Money I earn is not even a feel good factor these days. I think twice before putting up a blog post, worrying people will say I am selfish, I am a horrible person, how dare I write such things etc. Imagine that. I fear the potential words of strangers I probably will never meet. Every word I think of is analyzed carefully to ensure there won't be anger as retaliation. I am a coward. I am terrified of confrontation. I hate it when I intently explain something that means a lot to me to a friend, and then get a pale washed out opinion in response. Why can't people try harder? Here I am, telling you why something made me think out aloud, why that something made me care, and all you can say is oh okay? Oh okay? What sort of response is that? Why are people so lazy that they have stopped thinking? Or caring?
50 days before I turn 25 and a quarter life crisis already. Great.
Now does that mean I am getting Old??

This is the most dangerous time for our planet. As a theoretical physicist based in Cambridge, I have lived my life in an extraordinarily privileged bubble.
Cambridge is an unusual town, centred around one of the world's great universities. Within that town, the scientific community that I became part of in my 20s is even more rarefied. And within that scientific community, the small group of international theoretical physicists with whom I have spent my working life might sometimes be tempted to regard themselves as the pinnacle. In addition to this, with the celebrity that has come with my books, and the isolation imposed by my illness, I feel as though my ivory tower is getting taller. So the recent apparent rejection of the elites in both America and Britain is surely aimed at me, as much as anyone. It was, everyone seems to agree, the moment when the forgotten spoke, finding their voices to reject the advice and guidance of experts and the elite everywhere. I am no exception to this rule. Trump's lies have a purpose. They are an assault on democracy. All politicians lie.
In a democracy, they usually tell lies to achieve a particular result: Maybe they want to conceal information that would damage their reputations, or take credit for something they had nothing to do with. Sometimes a falsehood can obstruct a piece of undesirable legislation, or facilitate the passage of a desirable one. But in each of these cases, a lie tends to be little more than a momentary deviation from the truth. It's a brief sojourn outside the borders of our stable, shared reality. Some political lies are more ambitious than that. That's what the second Bush administration tried to do. Creating an alternate political universe requires discipline. If Bush and Rove constructed a fantasy world with a clear internal logic, Trump has built something more like an endless bad dream. For members of the Bush administration, even their power to mold reality had a place in the universe they created. President-elect Donald Trump does not create new realities.
The History of the English Language, Animated. By Maria Popova The history of language, that peculiar human faculty that Darwin believed was half art and half instinct, is intricately intertwined with the evolution of our species, our capacity for invention, our understanding of human biology, and even the progress of our gender politics.
From the fine folks at Open University — who previously gave us these delightful 60-second animated syntheses of the world's major religions, philosophy's greatest thought experiments, and the major creative movements in design — comes this infinitely entertaining and illuminating animated history of the English language in 10 minutes: Complement with these 5 essential reads on language and the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf's voice, in which she explores the beauty of the English language.

You have even burnt the candle at both ends staying up too late and getting up too early when studying for finals. Now you feel really happy with your effort, and it is time to take a breather. Just by sheer luck, at a party, you are introduced to a British person and you feel it's your opportunity to shine. "Did he just say something about the skin of my teeth?" Yes.

Over the last few months, I've been researching cognitive biases and how they influence our decision-making. I looked at the confirmation bias, which is the human tendency to seek out and process information that confirms our preexisting beliefs. I also examined the self-serving attributional bias; when we blame unfavorable outcomes on external causes but take credit for positive ones. A recent article I read talked about a different bias: correspondent inference theory.
Correspondent inference theory is the human tendency "to infer the motives – and also the disposition – of someone who performs an action based on the effects of his actions, and not on external or situational factors." Paying attention to what those around you are doing makes "evolutionary sense" – most of the time, it pays to infer as quickly as possible the intentions of those around you.
But it doesn't work all the time in building an accurate picture of what's going on.
A recent paper, "Why Terrorism Does Not Work" by Max Abrahms, draws attention to how responses to terrorism are influenced by correspondent inference theory. First, let's look at a lighthearted example to shed light on this.
In the 1985 movie comedy The Man with One Red Shoe (which, by the way, is a remake of the French film The Tall Blonde Man with One Black Shoe), the CIA believes that a random civilian (Tom Hanks) is a spy so they set about investigating his life to prove it.
In one scene, CIA operatives tear Hanks' flat apart to try and find anything that would establish he is a spy, like disconnecting pipes in the bathroom to see if anything is hidden inside. As they rush to piece everything back together, they inadvertently connect the toilet pipe to the sink. When Hanks returns home, he repeatedly flushes the toilet trying to figure out why water comes out the sink spout. CIA officers, listening to this via the bugs they've planted, infer that he's flushing evidence down the toilet. By misinterpreting what Hanks is doing, the CIA needlessly send an officer into the sewer to find this "evidence".
More seriously, Abrahms' paper draws attention to the fact that it is sometimes assumed that the goal of terrorist activities is to kill innocent people and so instill fear or economic instability in a population. These assertions, according to Abrahms' analysis of the policy objectives of 28 terrorist groups, aren't necessarily correct.
Many terrorist groups have avowed strategic goals. For example, Abrahms notes that al-Qaeda's goals have been consistent (like ending American support of Israel and eliminating U.S. interference in Saudi Arabia). These goals, however, haven't been achieved. In fact, Abrahms claimed overall that, out of the 42 policy objectives for these 28 groups, only 7 percent were achieved. The rest of the policy objectives were not achieved.
What was the deciding factor between objectives that were achieved and those that failed? Abrahms' data revealed that the target of the terrorist attacks was important. Groups that attacked military and diplomatic targets more than civilians were more effective in achieving their ends. Out of the 19 groups that primarily targeted civilians, there were 28 policy objectives between them. Twenty-five of these objectives were not achieved, and only limited progress was made toward achieving three.
Abrahms' explanation for this effect rests on correspondent inference theory. High numbers of civilian casualties from terrorism lead citizens and governments alike to infer that the aim of terrorist groups is to kill innocent civilians and disrupt their way of life. This inferred "maximalist" agenda makes them more steadfast in their resolve not to negotiate with terrorists. As a result, the stated goals of the terrorist groups tend to go unmet.
Terrorism against civilians, it seems, isn't a very effective tactic and, if Abrahms is correct, is even counter-productive if its aim is to compel governments to change their policies to meet the terrorists' goals. Unfortunately, such terrorism goes on nonetheless.

MAFS: Second Chances- Episode 1: The Hunger Games
Lifetime's new reality spinoff Married at First Sight: Second Chances, is a doozy. After just one episode, I handed out way too many side eyes. Because, shenanigans. Girl. *sips tea*
To begin, David Norton and Vanessa Nelson, are two divorced singles and fan favorites from the show's original "Married at First Sight", whose marriages didn't work out, but are still optimistic about love and ready to try again.
Unlike the show's original concept of being blindly matched by a team of psychologists, sociologists and sex experts, and meeting for the first time at the altar, *insert JE's 'Let's Get Married Remix and hits body roll* Vanessa and David will date singles, in person, for 4 months and ultimately choose someone they want to start over with. This time, the experts take a more hands off approach while David and Vanessa's friends, become an intricate part of the vetting process.
Make sense? Ok. So here's the scene: David and Vanessa arrive to over 100 suitors eagerly waiting in a line wrapped so far around the building, you'd think they were anticipating a new iPhone where Siri is an actual person that gets your snacks, so you don't have to get up. (By the way, if this every becomes a thing, count me IN.)
Their task? Speed date with each person for 3 minutes and narrowing down the hundreds to 50 that will be invited back for a second date, the following day. Armed with mimosas, beer and their best friends, the singles get started.
By the time they meet the first dozen people, I'm already overwhelmed for them.
Having only 180 seconds to find out as much information as you can about someone is intense,
and naturally folks were trying to stand out. Some brought gifts, hit dance moves, others wrote poetry, and others were doing… a lot.
Prime example--- 22-year-old Chris—Poor thing-- I don't think he's ever even been on a real date, or was super nervous, because when Vanessa asks him about himself, this man breaks out in this weird, non-rhyming Migos-esque sprinkled with Drake (not in a good way) rap.
There's a few that I did like for her though. Andre—who at first reminded me of Odell Beckham Jr. with his bright blonde quiff atop his head, (no judgement) is one. He's cute, funny, in shape, gainfully employed as a computer engineer, and came bearing gifts—books to be exact. I like that he's confident, yet nerdy. Vanessa & Co. seem to approve, although she's a bit hesitant about his hair.
In this time, we also learn that our other single David, is sweet as pie and super nice. Like, assistant manager at Best Buy who talks with a customer about a DVD player for 30 minutes, and somehow ends up giving them a 50% discount, nice. He's also really sensitive and a hopeless romantic, who gets flustered pretty easily. I like Isabella for him. She's a sweet girl, and since his last wife was basically Cruella de Vil, David needs someone just as warm, genuine, and open as he is.
At the end of a long first day, the singles have narrowed it down to 50 to advance to the second date. This is where things start to get interesting. And awkward AF.
The next day, David hosts a down home backyard BBQ, while Vanessa opts for a classy cocktail mixer.
Our boy Dave quickly becomes frustrated as the ladies cram for his attention and cattily attempt to "steal" him from one another. This isn't his scene and he starts to become really overwhelmed. One girl in particular, Jennifer, is doing way too much. She admits to the other girls, his friends and eventually him, that she's stalked him online and knows his favorite bar. She also always seems to be popping up everywhere. Like, girl where did you come from? Go that way.
Callie, who apparently does fundraisers for people who can't orgasm, (definitely didn't know that was a thing--- the fundraising part--) is sort of tomboyish, but cute. She'd be a good match and Dave already thinks they have somewhat of a strong connection.
So as the day goes on, these girls continue to get way more passionate. Paige leads him to a secluded area and confesses that she doesn't think she made an impression on him, and attempts to kiss him. Girl. No. That's not it. You may have succeeded in him thinking you're crazy now, though.
At this point, Dave is skressed.
So at Vanessa's mixer, she gets a chance to speak to a few guys while her sister and friend do some of the heavy lifting and ask hard and direct questions, like when they asked Shannon --- who is a little over the top but also may be a good match for her -- "when's the last time you got tested for HIV?"
Throughout the night, Vanessa learns more about the potential in the room. Myles is an interesting character and although she admits she's never dated a White dude before, she's open to getting to know him better.
Devin --a personal trainer gives her a rose, and then takes rose petals, from his pocket and sprinkles them on the floor like she's Coming to America. I mean, I guess.
They chat about her favorite foods, and when she mentions pasta, he asks her when the last time she worked out was. EYE felt personally attacked. If I was Vanessa, I would have checked him for coming for my glucose levels and maximum heart rate. Good day, sir.
Now, I'm unsure if it was a combination of the alcohol, testosterone and the muscle shirts, but per Nathan the Police Officers suggestion, a group of the guys decide to have an "arm wrestling contest" for Vanessa's love. When she catches wind of this, she's annoyed, and rightfully so.
Who does that? Pipe down.
By the end of the night, it's time to drop another 25 from the remaining 50. Vanessa walks around and shakes the guys' hands. "Thank you so much for coming…" "I had a good time, thank you for coming…" We don't really know what's going on here and all the men are just as confused. She invites some of them to the next room, while some stay in the main room.
Vanessa exits the main room and goes to the second room where the men are waiting, and they start cheering.
Vanessa: I think you guys are looking for love, unfortunately it won't be with me.
Now, it's Dave's turn. He selects his 25, takes them upstairs into the house and tells them the same. Naturally the women were disappointed, but such is life. On to the next, right?
Wrong. Jennifer—remember her? Kinda over the top, somewhat of a stalker? Yeah, her—she takes it really hard. We see her in the corner crying and I guess it's understandable. She then goes on a rant about how she's 31 and doesn't have much time left to make a family. I'm like "pull it together sis. Come on."
Finally, we see her walk up to David and ask if she can speak to him privately.
She pleads with him, telling him that she doesn't think he made the right decision and how some of the girls aren't here for the right reason. She thinks if they get to know each other better, that he will have a connection with her as well. Poor Dave is stuck. And this whole time, I'm cringing and clutching my pearls like,
Sis, you don't need a man. You need a hug, some Thai food and perhaps a really good therapist.
I don't know how this will end, but I do know that after this premiere, my edges are not as full as they once were, As the remaining dates toast to a successful evening with the singles, I made a mental note to stock up on wine. Because, stress. This will be interesting for sure. And may the odds be ever in their favor.

16 March 09
by Rachel Kelsey
Nearly three years after the introduction of rights for cohabitants we have the first substantive decision on s 29 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006, which allows for applications to the court by a surviving cohabitant for provision on intestacy: Savage v Purches, Falkirk Sheriff Court, 19 December 2008; www.scotcourts.gov.uk/opinions/ SAVAGE.html .
In this case a surviving cohabitant, James Savage, raised an action at Falkirk Sheriff Court against the executrix dative of his late partner's estate. Section 29(1) provides that an application can be made where the deceased dies (i) intestate, (ii) domiciled in Scotland immediately before his death, and (iii) with a surviving cohabitant with whom he was cohabiting immediately before his death. All of these matters were agreed so the only issue before the court was what award, if any, should be made. The pursuer sought a capital sum which failing an order for transfer of the heritable property that the parties had shared, whilst the defender contended that no award should be made. The sheriff held that the pursuer "is entitled to a right in succession on the estate of the deceased… but that… the quantum of the said claim is assessed at NIL".
The focus of the submissions was on what matters the sheriff could take into account in determining quantum.
Before making any orders – which can be orders for (i) payment of a capital sum or (ii) transfer to the survivor of property from the estate, with "such interim order as it thinks fit" – the court must "have regard" to certain matters set out in s 29(3): (a) the size and nature of the deceased's net intestate estate, (b) any benefit received, or to be received, by the survivor, on, or in consequence of, the deceased's death, and from somewhere other than the deceased's net intestate estate, (c) the nature and extent of any other rights against, or claims on, the deceased's net intestate estate; and (d) any other matter the court considers appropriate.
A relationship in context
It was submitted for the pursuer that one could not look at the nature of the cohabitation itself in considering the various factors in s 29(3): there was no dependency test and no economic advantage/disadvantage test (as is found in s 28, which relates to post-separation claims). The factors in s 25(2) – the length of the period the couple lived together (two years eight months in this case), the nature of the relationship and the nature of any financial arrangements – were relevant only for determining whether a couple were cohabiting, not for assessing whether the pursuer was are a "worthy" cohabitant.
The sheriff did not agree. First, he took into account what he referred to as the "contextual hinterland in which the claim at the instance of the pursuer presents itself". In particular under s 29(3)(b) he took account of the value of the death benefit lump sum which the deceased's employers had split between the parties. He also took account of the adult dependant's pension paid to the pursuer. He commented: "these benefits, which require to be factored into the court's exercise of its discretion in terms of s 29(3)(b), are on such a scale in themselves as to militate against the making of any award in favour of the pursuer in terms of s 29 on the basis of either (or a combination of both) craves of the pursuer before the court".
The sheriff then went on look at what factors he could take into account in terms of s 29(3)(d): "any other matter the court considers appropriate". He regarded it as proper to have regard to the short length of the relationship between the pursuer and the deceased, contrasting what he saw as the "historical context of the deceased's prior lengthy relationship" with the relationship between the pursuer and the deceased. He observed, amongst other matters, that "The parties shared no ownership in heritable property, mortgage, or life cover policies. They did not even have a joint account… In seeking to exercise my discretion in a way that does justice between the parties, I have sought to read into s 29(3)(d) the factor of the duration of the relationship within this overall context".
Readers should be aware that s 29 may be repealed. The Scottish Law Commission is about to report on succession and publish implementing legislation. In addition to looking at succession generally, the position of cohabitants is "being addressed".

The Oak Tree of Peover
Wedding Photography Cheshire, Oak Tree of Peover
We shoot at The Oak Tree of Peover a lot and this summer was no exception. We love it here and we loved Alice & Stewart's wedding!
Alice and her entourage got ready at Curlew Cottage a beautiful little space just a few minutes away from The Oak Tree, complete with Alpaca's and a hot tub! As wedding morning's go it was very relaxed, there were absolutely no nerves from Alice with the only major decision of the day being - to red lip it or not?! Ant had a similar story over at The Golden Pheasant where he caught up with the boys as they were getting ready, all before they hot footed it in VW campers to The Bells of Peover for a swift pint before tying the knot at St Oswald's Church, Lower Peover with the world's best Vicar Revd Jane Lloyd!
Once Alice and Stewart became Mr & Mrs, we had more than enough time to throw some confetti before heading back to The Oak Tree where we mingled capturing the day. When it came to our couple's shots and doing some shots with the guys and the girls, well the guys won! We always say to our couples, this is your day, is there anything you've seen, daft or otherwise that you'd like to do - Stewart and the boys did a pyramid and top marks for staying on top - I'm not sure how well this would have worked after a few more pints!!
Anyway enough from me - check out their gallery below!

Adopt a Mooring
We would love to announce the ADOPT A MOORING program. The Red Sea mooring system is considered one of the most important projects to help and fight the deterioration of the coral reef of the red sea in Egypt, a deterioration that is caused by the constant anchoring on the reef. In 1992 HEPCA started a mooring system with only 50 moorings in Hurghada; today the system includes more than 1200 mooring spread along the coast of the Egyptian Red Sea and covering all diving sites.
The ADOPT A MOORING program, calls on diving centres to collaborate with HEPCA and adopt the maintenance of a specific number of moorings in a diving site. HEPCA will provide all needed tools, materials, and training. While the diving site will monitor the adopted moorings, and perform the basic maintenance tasks, and in the case of the need to install a new pin or manta, the diving centre will provide HEPCA's team with a boat. The program relies on the diving community's sense of ownership and responsibility towards the mooring system and our environment.
And we would like to thank our members who already joined the program; Blue O Two, Sea Serpent, Barakuda Lotus Bay, NIC, Shams Safaga, Mena Dive, ORCA Diveclub Safaga, Ducks Diving Safaga, Emperor Divers, Longimanus, Red Sea Diving Safari, Barakuda Lahami Bay. These members adopted a total of 265 moorings, in 49 different dive sites. If you would like to adopt a mooring, please contact mooring(at)hepca(dot)org !

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The boyhood dream was so vivid that Michael Martinez can still remember it in rich detail: how he stood at the left side of the plate and delivered the winning hit in the seventh game of the World Series for the Cleveland Indians.
Martinez had a chance to live it out last November, when he walked to the plate with two outs, a runner at first and his team — those same Indians — trailing by a run in the bottom of the 10th inning of Game 7 of the World Series.
Just as he dreamed, Martinez could be the hero.
But there was a difference from that long-ago dream of a boy in the Dominican Republic: The switch-hitting Martinez was batting from the right side. It was perhaps a sign that the ending would not be the same, either.
The final moments of a championship are often indelible — Charlie Hayes excitedly clutching a pop-up in foul territory for the Yankees in 1996, Jesse Orosco cathartically throwing his glove high into the air for the Mets in 1986, or Joe Carter's jubilant dance around the bases after his Series-winning homer for Toronto in 1993.
Another was added six months ago, when Chicago third baseman Kris Bryant scooped up Martinez's slow roller and threw to Anthony Rizzo at first, setting off the celebration of a lifetime as the Cubs clinched their first World Series title since 1908.
Often forgotten in these tableaus are the props who made them possible — the players, like Martinez, who set the memories in motion.
"Listen, there will not always be somebody who has the last at-bat and gets the winning hit, but there will always be somebody who makes the last out," Martinez said, speaking through an interpreter. "So, of course, it's got to be somebody."
Martinez, 34, was sitting in the home dugout at Tropicana Field on Friday, his first day with the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays acquired him for cash from the Indians, who had designated Martinez for assignment to clear a spot on their 40-man roster.
A journeyman utility player who has worn the uniforms of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland (twice), Boston and now Tampa Bay, Martinez is known — if he is known for much of anything — for his long, braided hair and for being a good athlete, a good teammate and a versatile defender.
What he is not known for is being a very good hitter, as his career .200 average might suggest.
But in making the final out of a World Series, Martinez at least finds himself in good company.
Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Tony Gwynn, Carl Yastrzemski, Willie McCovey, Mike Piazza and Honus Wagner all made the final out of a World Series — and made the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has more hits than anyone else who played in the major leagues, but he could not get a hit to prolong the World Series in 1972. The same could be said for the best hitter of the current generation — Miguel Cabrera — in 2012.
Ruth's ending may have been the most ignominious. He was thrown out trying to steal second base for the final out of Game 7 of the 1926 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, with the Yankees trailing by a run and their cleanup hitter, Bob Meusel, at the plate.
"That's not a way you want to finish," Wilmer Flores, who took a called third strike for the Mets to end the 2015 World Series against the Kansas City Royals, said with a laugh.
Flores said when he went to the plate that night two years ago, with two outs, a runner on base and the Mets trailing by 7-2 in the 12th inning, he was looking only for a good pitch to hit — the same way he always does.
It was only later that the gravity — and the finality — of the moment sank in.
"After the World Series and you see the highlights, now you realize that you were the last out," Flores said. "Every time they show that out, I'm there. Everybody's going to watch that highlight a lot."
Martinez smiled when asked if he felt better knowing that so many distinguished players had also made the last out of the World Series.
"Of course," he said. "Then you know you're not the only one."
Martinez's path to that night in Cleveland was a serpentine one. He did not sign a professional baseball contract until he was nearly 24 — and after he had given up professional basketball. He had played one season in the Dominican professional league as a point guard on a team that included Tito Horford, the father of Boston Celtics forward Al Horford.
He then spent five years in Washington's farm system before the Phillies picked him in the 2010 Rule 5 draft; he made his major league debut with them the next season. He wound his way to Cleveland in 2015, but was designated for assignment last July and picked up by Boston, which also designated him for assignment less than a month later. That's when the Indians scooped him back up.
Martinez had recorded only three at-bats in the playoffs last season — striking out in each one — when he entered Game 7 of the World Series as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning with the score tied.
When Jason Heyward stole second and advanced to third on catcher Roberto Perez's errant throw with one out, Indians Manager Terry Francona removed left fielder Coco Crisp, who has a weak throwing arm, and slid right fielder Brandon Guyer over to left. The strong-armed Martinez was inserted in right field. His arm would not be needed — the inning ended after Javier Baez fouled off a bunt attempt with a full count and Dexter Fowler grounded out — but his bat would be.
The Cubs scored twice in the top of the 10th inning to take an 8-6 lead and then called on reliever Carl Edwards for the bottom of the inning. He retired the first two hitters he faced but walked Guyer — who advanced to second on defensive indifference — and gave up a single to Rajai Davis, cutting the lead to 8-7.
Mike Montgomery, a left-hander, was summoned to face Martinez.
"That's one of the moments when you have to be the most calm of any moment in your life," Martinez said. "I had a plan with the pitcher to try to get into a good count."
Martinez's plan was to wait for a fastball to hit. But Montgomery, whose best pitch is his curveball, was not going to be beaten on anything else. He threw a curveball on the first pitch, which Martinez took for a strike. He threw another one, and Martinez, not wanting to get into a deep hole, swung. A moment later, the Cubs celebrated.
While the glow of their title endures, it is worth remembering how baseball works in strange ways sometimes.
Two years after Bobby Richardson speared a scorching liner off the bat of McCovey with runners at second and third to clinch the Yankees' 1-0 Game 7 win in 1962, he popped up for the final out in a Game 7 loss to St. Louis.
And Edgar Renteria, who singled up the middle in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 7 in 1997 to lift the Marlins over the Indians, grounded back to the pitcher for the final out in 2004, when St. Louis was swept by Boston.
Martinez is hoping for a similar accounting, an evening of the ledger. He has watched the final at-bat a number of times, but he has not stewed over it.
"It's come and gone," he said. "You just hope for the opportunity to go out there and do it again."

It did not rain but the ground was still to wet to do grading. The new schedule is to grade on Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. Martin did some painting but did not finish. He said there was more set up work than he thought. Not my problem. The good thing is that he will be done tomorrow or so he says.
Scooter and Thermal Comfort LLC showed up in the morning and installed the final three units in the basement. The house now has heating/cooling and power. We might be able to move in soon.
Mike the electrician was there and he finally combined all the wires from the subpanel to the wires coming in from all over the house. I gave him a few cover plates for the fixtures we have yet to pick out. We just don't have time to look for them. Actually we did buy the dining room chandelier over a year ago but it never arrived because it went out of stock. So we never found another one. Light is over rated anyway. When I traveled throughout Africa 90% of the places did not have electricity. We would fall asleep about an hour after sunset and wake up with the sunrise. It just made sense. We would get a full night sleep. Good times!
