To put it gently: Lindsay Lohan was in a rush (obviously) to get to an NYC nightclub last night, a man just wouldn't get out of the way of her car, so she took the only natural course of action — tapped him with it, exited, and went inside. To put it less elegantly: Lindsay Lohan was out in NYC last night and fled the scene of a hit and run in the alley by the Dream Downtown.
To her credit, as the NYPD puts it, "She was trying to get people to step aside by flashing her lights." Unfortunately, one pedestrian did not heed LiLo's Porsche Cayenne-signaled warnings and incurred minor knee injuries that merited a hospital visit.
Apparently Lindsay did get out of the car (which also held her manager and another guy pal) to talk to the "victim," before heading inside the Dream, but when she reemerged at 2:30 a.m it was to the tune of her Miranda rights. Luckily, there was reportedly no alcohol involved and Lindsay's been released without bail for this misdemeanor. We'd like to wrap this up with some snarky "She's done it again" comment, but unfortunately, we're not sure we have any left. Instead [insert head-shake and Herbie Fully Loaded joke here].

Doctor: Finding The Best Medical Professional For Your Needs
It is an undisputable truth that in order to deal and accomplish everything you wish to attain in life, you would need to have your top physical health. It should be pointed out that maintain your peak health is extremely difficult with all things that could affect it in your daily life and no matter how careful you are, you'll surely find yourself with a disease at some point in your life wherein you may need superb medical attention. There's no doubt that you may have already deduced that the next thing for you to do is to find a reliable doctor to help you with your health predicaments but, this will prove to be a tougher obstacle to deal with.
To execute your first steps in finding the best doctor for your current ordeal, finding out what you're dealing with its essential. Having a preliminary check-up to help you diagnose what kind of disease you're dealing with is essential as there's no doubt that this will be able to help you get the doctor with the right expertise you need. By knowing what you are currently experiencing, you'll have an easier time finding the right doctor that could be more reliable to deal with your problem.
It is only right for you to pick a doctor who has accomplished his board certification and on top of that, he must also possess a license proving that he can exhibit his expertise in your area. You should also be aware that there are numerous medical associations out there, all pertaining to diverse categories of the medical industry and checking if the doctor is part of these renowned organizations would surely bring you immense benefits.
Finally, make sure that he definitely provides topnotch service by talking to their clients. A doctor may be qualified to provide his service to people but, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are the best fit for you. There's no doubt that you'll find plenty of people with topnotch capabilities and knowledge in the field of medicine and what will set them apart are their characters which is also something you'll know more about through reviews. There's no doubt that you'll have a much better time with people who have already attained quite the reputation in the industry, which may include big names of the medical world like Dwayne Pope Atlanta and many more.
Consider the price of the doctor's service as well as this would be crucial to your overall experience. If you are finding it hard to find the right one, you could always compare the top three choices you have on your list and from there, you'll surely find the best doctor for your current needs and means.

We present results of numerical simulations of leading-edge acoustic receptivity for acoustic waves impinging on the leading edge of a finite-thickness flat plate. We use both compressible and incompressible flow solvers fitted with high-order high-accuracy numerical methods and independent methods of estimating the receptivity coefficient. The results show that the level of acoustic receptivity in the existing literature appears to be one order of magnitude too high. Our review of previous numerical simulations and experiments clearly identifies some contradictory trends. In the limit of an infinitely thin flat plate, our results are consistent with asymptotic theory and numerical simulations.
This work is concerned with stability and receptivity analysis as well as studies on control of the laminar-turbulent transition in boundary-layer flows through direct numerical simulations. Various flow configurations are considered to address flow around straight and swept wings. The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of stability characteristics and different means of transition control of such flows which are of great interest in aeronautical applications.
Acoustic receptivity of flow over a finite-thickness flat plate with elliptic leading edge is considered. The objective is to compute receptivity coefficient defined as the relative amplitude of acoustic disturbances and TS wave. The existing results in the literature for this flow case plot a scattered image and are inconclusive. We have approached this problem in both compressible and incompressible frameworks and used high-order numerical methods. Our results have shown that the generally-accepted level of acoustic receptivity coefficient for this flow case is one order of magnitude too high.
The continuous increase of computational power has enabled us to perform global stability analysis of three-dimensional boundary layers. A swept flat plate of FSC type boundary layer with surface roughness is considered. The aim is to determine the critical roughness height for which the flow becomes turbulent. Global stability characteristics of this flow have been addressed and sensitivity of such analysis to domain size and numerical parameters have been discussed.
The last flow configuration studied here is infinite swept-wing flow. Two numerical set ups are considered which conform to wind-tunnel experiments where passive control of crossflow instabilities is investigated. Robustness of distributed roughness elements in the presence of acoustic waves have been studied. Moreover, ring-type plasma actuators are employed as virtual roughness elements to delay laminar-turbulent transition.

The words 'I quit,' 'I give up,' or 'I can't' aren't in my vocabulary unless we are talking about math problems, but pushing your limits doesn't always work out in your favor. With a strong following in Cross Fit, Olympic lifting and other similar exercise regimens, there's alot of talk of over use injuries, injuries from improper technique and over lifting. I find myself nervous of injury in my weekly exercise routine, as an injury can be accidental, a freak occasion or over aggression. I personally think it's good to make it hurt a little. Sure, I mean mentally hurt, grueling pain where you'd rather just lay down, but never pain where your limping out of the gym (unless you have an immediate build up of lactic acid and you instantly get muscle soreness). Mentally tough athletes need to step back when something starts to hurt, change your movement, modify your movement and if you're still in pain it's time to give your injury a rest.
It takes alot for me to say, I really can't do this because I'm hurting my body. I don't want to 'give up' and not finish a work out, I don't want to rest, I want to push through the pain! But do I want to be sitting inside this winter while the snow build up? Not a chance in hell. It's very mental to separate quitting from knowing when enough is enough, and honestly saying enough is really tough, but sometimes necessary.

T-Mobile Update the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy Avant and the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE
This week, T-Mobile decided to update a good number of Samsung devices, and while they're all minor updates, we're no less happy to see them hit. The Galaxy S4 gets updated to software version M919UVUFNK2 and while the T-Mobile support page lists "Chinese language" support, we expect there's a little more to it than that. The Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE is updated to software version T337TUVU1BNK4 and the support listing promises "software stability". Meanwhile, the Galaxy Avant, which is the only one of the three on Android 4.4.2 gets updated to G386TUVU1ANK3, with the changelog found here.
Moto G (2013) Google Play Edition Gets Updated to Android 5.o.1 Lollipop
If you have a Moto G, last year's model, and it just so happens to be a Google Play Edition, then you should have gotten the update to Android 5.0.1. The LRX21Z build comes in around 380MB and if you haven't got the OTA just yet, you can download the ZIP from Google here, and sideload it as normal.
Minor Update for Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact Starts to Roll Out
A small update for the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact has appeared with a software number of 23.0.1.A.5.77, for both the D6603 and D6653 versions of the Z3 and D5803 and D5833 versions of the Z3 Compact. The update appears to be very small in nature and brings with it the Portrait Retouch app from the Xperia C3 and other small changes.
DROID Turbo Gets the Gift of Advanced Calling 1.0 in Latest Update
'Tis the season of giving and Verizon is giving users of the DROID Turbo the ability to use voice and data at the same time. Which for a GSM user like myself doesn't seem so great, but it's nice to see it being patched in. That's all there is to see here really, the software version you're looking for is pictured above and you can read more about Advanced Calling here.
Verizon Updates the Galaxy Note 4 with Gear VR Support
When Samsung released the Galaxy Note 4, they did so alongside the Gear VR, which is steadily hitting shelves. However, it appears that Galaxy Note 4 devices need to be updated to allow for such magic. Verizon has pulled the trigger with the update, which you can read all about in the above screenshot. The update on Verizon also brings with it a transparent Amazon widget…which is…nice?
Android Wear 5.0.1 Update Starts to Roll Out to Watches
Earlier this week, the Android Wear Lollipop update was formally announced and it's all about the watch faces. You can read more about the update here. Now, if you haven't gotten the update yet – I haven't – and you're willing to sideload – I'm not – then you can go ahead and check out our post on that here.

Doctor Who is one of the world's longest running sci-fi television series and most recognizable brand from the UK. Its popularity continues to spread across the word like wildfire. The show first aired on BBC in 1963 introducing the First Doctor, a humanoid alien called a Time Lord with the technology to travel through time. He travels through time and space in a spaceship disguised as a Police Call Box called the T.A.R.D.I.S. (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) and is bigger on the inside. The Doctor and his, usually human, companions save planets and galaxies from enemies like the Daleks and Cybermen. With each previous Doctor's regeneration a new one emerges allowing the series to renew itself time and time again.

I know this might be a stupid question but, what is a wired router used for? The reason I ask is because I will be working for this company online and they require that I have a wired router. But it's difficult to reach them to ask them why they need it and I don't want to sound dumb so that's why I am here. Please help...just a general answer will do... I just need to have an idea of why they might need me to have it. Thank you.
Oh yeah, I have dsl connection and I only need to use one computer with a headphone set, for this position. Thanks again...
Using a hardwired router verses a wireless connection is a security issue as well as a tech issue.
hardwired is less likely to be hacked or have a broken connection that sometimes occurs with wireless connectivity. If you are to join a domain's network (private set up by company) They do not like mobile connections from outside sources as this can create security breaches to their proprietary business applications.
An ADSL connection can be either wireless or wired only. It depends on the equipment being used...
Basically the ADSL modem could be just a modem or a combination modem/router(hardwired) or modem/wireless router. You will have to do a search on the models of the equipment to find out for sure....or contact the ISP to find out what it is that you have.
Would it be possible that the company would want me to have a wired router even if I have a wired dsl modem now? Would it make it more secure with both? I thought the wired dsl modem would be enough but I don't know...

Killing abusive husbands and intruders
The news today is that there is to be an overhaul of the law on homicide, with the partial defence of provocation being done away with. In its place will come two new partial defences:
- killing in response to a fear of serious violence
- in exceptional circumstances only, killing in response to words and conduct which caused the defendant to have a justifiable sense of being seriously wronged.
The scenario of a woman faced with an abusive partner who returns home drunk and threatening is, in many ways, rather similar to that of the homeowner faced with an intruder. While the battered wife knows her partner, she can't know how he will behave at that moment. The homeowner, of course, knows nothing of his opponent at all. With this information deficit, they both might end up killing their attacker.
In the past, as was noted in the Law Commission report which preceded these proposals, battered wives who kill their abusive husbands have been faced with a dilemma:
[D]efendants sometimes plead guilty to manslaughter for fear that a plea of self-defence might fail and leave them with a murder conviction.
If you follow the "audit trail" behind this claim, its source is evidence presented by a group called Justice for Women, which calls for law reform in support of battered wives. However, students of the case law around dealing with intruders in the home may well have come across the case of Brett Osborn, who stabbed a deranged intruder, and later admitted manslaughter for fear that the jury would reject a plea of self-defence. Assuming the facts of the case are as they seem, he appears to have had exactly the same issues to deal with as a battered wife.
This being the case, it looks very much as though the partial defence that will save the battered wife, might also save the homeowner. This new law could be rather interesting because it offers something to both left and right. The left will tend to support the battered wife, the right, the homeowner. One wonders what arguments are going to be put forward to try to limit the new law to one rather than the other.
(By way of an aside, there was a chap from Civitas on the telly today, arguing that the reform was not needed, because a battered wife could run away. But why should she, any more than the homeowner threatened by an intruder? )

Myth Buster: ANOTHER Load of Laundry?
The good news is that you can launder cloth diapers with less time and effort than all the rest of your laundry. If you are able to afford a 3 day supply (and I recommend working toward that!), you are only doing a load 2 times a week. The amount of time you are actually spending doing that laundry is probably 10 minutes a week. Even better, you don't have to worry about ironing, folding, or even putting the cloth diapers away. It can be as easy as throwing the clean diapers in a laundry basket from the dryer and pulling from that basket when it's time to do a change. (On those REALLY lazy days, I have been known to leave the diapers in the dryer and pull clean ones from there!)
If you use diapers like GroVia's all-in-ones, Tots Bots Easy Fit Diaper, bumGenius All-in-Ones, or Tots Bots Tini Fit Diaper, you don't even need to stuff or assemble the diaper. That's it!
For those veteran's currently using cloth diapers, how has the extra loads been for you?

It's my easiest laundry, I don't even think about it. Since I don't have to worry about wrinkles, I'll often throw a load in the wash in the evening after putting the kids in jammies, then switch to dryer before I go to sleep.

BAM!! indeed! Wow, its seems completely crazy that we are sitting here writing our blog post for our o&c Photography 2017 wedding photography round up! The years fly by and each year we feel more love, see more joy, witness some truly wonderful moments, share in memories and get to hang out at a whole day of "happy"!
We have had the pleasure of working in Pembrokeshire with its beautiful beaches and wild scenery. We've been further a field, photographing other parts of Wales and the UK too.

Re-envisioning God. - Letters From Instagram
I often receive beautiful letters from women the world who are within our Instagram community. I can never say enough just how much these letters touch me and truly reaffirm that feeling of being called to serve a certain community. I want to share this with you all and I hope that the parts of this message that you need resonate in your spirit.
With love,
"This might be the actual weirdest thing anyone has ever said to you. 😂 But I believe when we see God in people, we should share it. So here goes...
I broke up with the church a few years back, and it's been really fucking hard. I hate so much of the bullshit that comes along with the institution, but I am so deeply connected to something bigger than me.
So I've been trying to pray again lately. I was listening to a podcast on learning how to pray again after a significant faith deconstruction, and they suggested coming up with a mental picture of God that works for you. Something that's not an old, angry bearded white dude in the sky—which is what I grew up with.
The first image that came to mind was the photo you shared recently of yourself in the flowy white dress on the beach. And I sobbed at that visual in my mind.
God in the form of a queer black woman, God fully embodied as all the glorious things the church I grew up with couldn't make space for. God as everything the white North American Protestant church can't catch up to yet.
I just thought you should know—I see so much God in you. It's so visible it's wild. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with the world, especially when I know the sharing has been costly." -Audra Hibbs

Olympic 2012 Gold Medal Stamps
Project Scope: Real time Updates for gold medal winners
During my time as a contractor I was hired by the Royal Mail to lead the production team during the 2012 London Olympic Gold Medal Stamp campaign. We achieved a first in the history of stamp production with a 24 hour turn around time from a Team GB gold medal win, to the stamp being ready for sale. Key tasks include artworking the banner updates with the winner's stamps, followed by uploading banners to the Royal Mail home page, landing pages and campaign pages. As well as working with SEO and PPC agencies to ensure the campaign appeared in all search results.

Last Saturday I did something I've never done before, I presented an academic paper. This was as part of the Birmingham City University Interdisciplinary Day which rounded out the Gothic in Birmingham exhibit that the Library of Birmingham has been hosting. My paper was about the outsider in modern Gothic, with a focus on the modern works that have come out of the Goth subculture. In the wake of it (and having recovered) I thought I'd put down my top five novels that have either originated in the Goth scene or from people closely allied to it.
1) Lost Souls: Poppy Z Brite
Brite's debut novel is one of love, lust, blood and death. It raises questions about family, identity and
2) The Red Tree: Caitlin R Kiernan
3) American Gods: Neil Gaiman
The third novel by Gaiman, who's arguably still known for Sandman more than for the rest of his
4) Dark Cathedral: Freda Warrington
5) Horns: Joe Hill
Whilst Hill isn't a Gothic novelist, he has dabbled both here and in the comic series Lock and Key.

Types of Pediatric Sedation
The Pediatric Sedation Clinic at the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, offers patients the opportunity to receive medications to alleviate pain and fear before a procedure.
Types of Sedation
Minimal: A mild form of sedation. Medicine is given in a liquid or a gas form. Your child may stay awake but will be more relaxed and less aware of the procedure. Examples of procedures: Foley catheters, IV insertions and injections of various sorts.
Moderate: Medicine is given in liquid or gas, or by IV. Your child may be awake but very relaxed, with little or no pain. Your child may fall asleep but will be easy to wake. The medicine may make your child not remember the procedure after medicine has worn off. This level of sedation is used in wound care, fracture reductions, and some long line insertions.
Deep: Medicine is given in an IV that will make your child fall asleep. The goal is that your child has little to no movement. Your child will not know what is happening during the procedure nor remember the procedure after medicine has worn off. This level of sedation is used in imaging studies that require "immobility" to be satisfactorily completed (MRI scans, CT scans) or painful procedures like spinal taps and biopsies.

Can I Learn to be more Creative?October 2, 2012
Jonah Lehrer, author of "Imagine: How Creativity Works" says we all have the potential.
That's encouraging given how much has been written recently about Canadian innovation lagging and why that might be.
Is it the fault of universities and colleges not graduating people who can build a better mouse-trap? Dr. David Naylor, President of the University of Toronto, said in an April 21012 interview with the Globe and Mail: "I think the job of universities is to build what some call T-shaped individuals—a deep column of narrow expertise, capped by substantial breadth. That means more multidisciplinary and experiential learning, and lots of opportunities for interactive problem-solving inside and outside the classroom. It also means acknowledging a digital reality: facts are cheap and accessible, but people who can generate ideas and think creatively are priceless".
Google's philosophy of innovation is to "constantly question everything". Marissa Mayer, a Google VP, told Newsweek: "You can't understand Google unless you know that Larry and Sergey (the co-founders) were Montessori kids". The key to the Montessori method is freedom to explore and ask "why".
So how can employers ensure that there is freedom to explore and ask why in the workplace?
- Rethink traditional offices: What space and furniture support collaboration and innovation? Traditional offices may not cut it any longer if you want to foster diversity of thought.
- Offer appropriate technology: What technology frees up time to daydream and doodle? It's hard to be creative when you're bogged down in the weeds.
- Create breaks from technology: Are employees allowed not to answer their iPhones/Blackberries 24/7? Encourage real work-life balance by providing green spots, walking paths, etc.
- Support wellness: Do you offer employees programs beyond typical health benefits? Offer nutrition, smoking cessation, etc. programs. Build a gym, offer yoga, pilates, walking, in-chair massages…
- Encourage employees to work a reasonable work day and take regular vacations: Are employees expected to put in 12+ hours of face time and forfeit R&R? Our brains work through problems best during solid REM sleep.
- Brainstorm: Is there such a thing as a bad idea? There shouldn't be! Get all the ideas on the table before starting to filter them. Watch ideas spark as people debate and disagree.
- Give credit where credit is due: Is it fair game for a manager to claim credit for a direct report's idea? Absolutely not. Recognize and reward those people willing to take calculated risks.
- Allow failure: Is lack of success unacceptable? Not in a true learning organization. Many highly successful people failed…and learned from their experiences…many times before their big breakthrough.
Be inspired by the following companies showcased in a November 2011 article, "Six Ways to Win", in the Globe and Mail:
- Intellectual Property: Xerox Canada (it generates 160 patentable ideas every year).
- Trade Diversification: Clearford Industries (this small town wastewater-treatment business strategically chose to go global).
- Culture of Innovation: Capital One Canada (it has a "big idea" fund to help finance employees' ideas).
- Niche Products: Vive Nano (it develops formulations used in crop protection that boost yields while eliminating the need for harmful chemicals common in pesticides).
- Multilingual, multicultural workforce: Biztree (it sees the world as its market; it's not just about languages but culture as well).
- Collaboration: Medtronic (its website is also an info. exchange where scientists and engineers from around the world can submit questions or ideas for discussion).
One of the best Professional Development workshops I participated in during my corporate career was Creativity Day Camp. An equal mix of artists and business people spent a day at the hip Drake Hotel immersed in music (try to sit still while listening to Stomp!), art (make an outfit of 6′ of butcher paper and some masking tape; no scissors allowed), drama (tell your story), circus tricks (take a calculated risk on a unicycle or trapeze)…It was nothing short of amazing!
Create time to have fun and trust your gut! That's when creativity bubbles up…← How to ace that first impression? Volunteer Experience: Does It Really Count? →

K. Court Orders for Medical Services
If a health care professional has been consulted regarding a health care service, procedure, or treatment for a child in DFPS conservatorship, a court must make findings in the record supporting its decision if the court declines to follow the recommendation of the health care professional. Tex. Fam. Code § 266.005.
Special Issue: If the child needs a service not covered by Medicaid, the judge may order that a physician assess the need for the service, if that has not already been done. Also, the judge may order the service and DFPS will seek that service through a private pay contract. When entering orders for services that are not covered by Medicaid, a judge might consider drafting an order that provides DFPS the maximum flexibility in contracting because a particular provider may not be in the position to fulfill the contract as dictated by the court order. Also, a copy of the signed order should be sent via fax to Superior at 1-866-702-4837.

Ground Zero for #NotALuxury: Action in Baltimore and D.C.
Posted by David McGill | August 27, 2015
Hundreds of amputees, as well as prosthetists, physicians and physical therapists, converged on Baltimore and Washington D.C. yesterday to express their concerns about the draft Local Coverage Determination for Lower Limb Prostheses published in mid-July. Both Linda Collins and David McGill of Ossur R&R attended in person. In a departure from our normal fare, this post will provide a quick summary of yesterday's events, along with key steps you can take in the coming days and weeks.
1. The Public Hearing Meeting: Highlights
Close to 200 amputees attended the meeting in person. The room, with a capacity of nearly 400, was close to full, with the remaining participants consisting of amputees' family members and friends, prosthetists, physicians, physical therapists, and some Medicare and other government officials.
Roughly 50 individuals provided comments, almost all of them in person. The vast majority of speakers were amputees themselves.
Several common themes emerged in the spoken comments, most notably (1) the negative effect of the draft LCD on access to and the quality of prosthetic care/components, (2) the lack of evidentiary support for the proposed changes, and (3) the need to include prosthetists as "Licensed and Certified Medical Professionals."
In his well-received comments early in the meeting, O&P Alliance Counsel Peter Thomas announced that he had received confirmation that the Veterans Administration would be submitting written comments requesting rescission of the draft LCD, a significant position from a major government payer.
David McGill of Ossur R&R spoke, emphasizing that his comments were from his personal perspective as an amputee. He addressed the following issues:
The fact that the draft LCD, if adopted, would affect not only amputees in the Medicare program, but those covered by private insurance as well;
The disporportionately negative impact it would have on new amputees;
The limitations it would impose on amputees' access to certain types of components;
The damage that eliminating the concept of "potential" from amputees' functional assessments would cause.
He concluded by requesting that the MACs rescind the draft LCD, or alternatively, suspend it while getting feedback from all relevant stakeholders, including amputees. He noted that amputees' fundamental right to mobility surely outweighed any administrative or economic gains sought by the MACs via the draft LCD.
2. The HHS Rally
In addition, we encourage you to make your congressmen/women aware of the proposed changes. A multi-pronged approach is more likely to promote serious consideration by the DME MACs about how best to proceed to address the concerns raised during the comment period.

sofa. Wednesday , August 15th , 2018 - 17:13:26 PM
Quote from Matchless Modern Sofa Sets :
Selecting from contemporary sofa sets is rather easy nowadays. It is as straightforward as walking into a respectable couch shop and making your election. If you don't have any expertise in deciding upon a couch yourself, you always have the option to spend the assistance of a friend or a neighbor with the ideal vulnerability to such a couch.

Who would ever think about making pepper soup with mushrooms? I did this time and it tastes super yummy!
Cut the chicken to the sizes you want, wash it and put inside the pot. Add the seasoning cubes (know, royco or star Maggi), salt, pepper, water to the level of the chicken, and cover the pot to cook for about 10 minutes depending on the how hard the chicken is.
Peel, wash and slice the plantain into 3 or 4 pieces and add it inside the chicken pot, add water slightly above the chicken and plantain, add pepper and pepper soup seasoning, scent leave, utazi leave.
Stir and taste it just to make sure it tastes really good, allow to cook for out 20minutes or until the plantain is soft. Taste it again for seasoning before you turn off your stove.
I added mushrooms at a point then spinach leaves after my pepper was done just because I love spinach.
PS: don't add spinach and mushrooms if you're making it for public
Time to enjoy that yummy pepper soup with your favorite drink.
Please, share. Thank you.

How Hurricane Harvey Could Cause Long-Term Devastation
Beyond the 130 Category 4 mile-an-hour winds, the devastating eye wall, and the the storm surge hundreds of miles wide, the most destructive part of Hurricane Harvey as it bears down on the Texan Gulf Coast might be the rain.
The storm is projected to basically sit over the region as it runs it course, in the process pouring biblical amounts of rain—30 inches or more—on Texan coastal areas from Corpus Christi to Houston. Even outside the area of truly catastrophic rainfall predictions—which were so high that some weather maps had to add brand new colors to their legends—places like the lower half of Louisiana seem likely to receive a foot or more of rain…
Facing disasters: lessons from a Bangladeshi island
Sonja Ayeb-Karlsson works for UNU-EHS and is a PhD candidate at the University of Sussex. The Gibika project, a research to action collaboration between Munich Re Foundation, United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security and International Centre for Climate Change and Development, receives funding from Munich Re Foundation.
The death toll of Bangladesh's brutal monsoon season keeps growing. Authorities estimate that flooding has killed at least 120 people and affected some 5 million others since mid-July.
Disasters are a common phenomenon in Bangladesh, where about 220 reported events have occurred since 1980. The fertile country is situated on the Ganges–Brahmaputra delta and irrigated by the Meghna river, which enables it to sustain a dense population but also exposes it to floods, cyclones and other hazards.
These days, climate change is making such events both more frequent and more intense for Bangladeshis. Loss of life and property during the monsoon is a near-daily occurrence in most parts of the country…

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes has dealt West Brom a major blow as he has insisted he is not interested in filling the vacant managerial position at the Hawthorns, according to the Scottish club's chairman Stewart Milne.
The former Rangers and West Brom midfielder has been linked with taking over the helm at both of his former clubs, following the dual sacking of Pedro Caixinha and Tony Pulis respectively.
46-year-old McInnes only signed a new and improved deal with the Dons earlier in the year, which runs until 2020, a reward for finishing runners-up behind Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup last season.
Milne told Aberdeen's website: "Derek made his position very clear to me. He has no intention of going anywhere. He loves this club.
Derek McInnes for me would he a very good appointment for West Brom. Done a very good job at Aberdeen— Kirky (@kirky0110) November 20, 2017
"He knows he's loved. He knows he's respected by everyone at the club, by the fans out there. It's a big, big part of Derek's life. He firmly believes he has unfinished business here.
McInnes led Aberdeen to a Scottish League Cup title in 2014, after overcoming Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the final, but Milne insisted that there remained a feeling of unfinished business for all parties.
He added: "He has always said to me he doesn't want to leave this club with just one trophy in the boardroom.
"It's great news for everyone that he is committed. He just wants to get on in doing the job.
"Everyone recognises the fantastic job he and Tony have done. No-one wants to see him leave this club. We know he will one day, but we all dearly hope that he's going to be here for quite some time."
Although McInnes is seemingly off the table, Alan Pardew's is still being touted as Pulis' successor, with Gary Megson set to takeover the reigns in the interim.

King Khalid University
King Khalid University signed a cooperation agreement with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSRelief). KSRelief is dedicated to coordinating and providing international relief to crisis-afflicted communities. The cooperation agreement will strengthen the partnership between both parties in accord with the commitment to develop a more impactful non-profit sector as set forth in Vision 2030.
His Excellency King Khalid University Rector, Prof. Falleh R. M. Al-Solamy, represented King Khalid University. His Excellency Dr. Abdullah al-Rabeeah, Adviser at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of KSRelief, represented his organization. The signing took place at KSRelief's headquarters in Riyadh.
Rector Al-Solamy explained that the purpose of this cooperation agreement is to ensure that the public's best interest is served in a systematic and consistent manner. The agreement encompasses a wide variety of areas. Cooperation will entail seminars, lecture, studies in the humanitarian field, training programs, and advisory programs. This will add to the symbol of humanitarian action the Kingdom holds.
On the 27th of Rabīʿ Al-Awwal, HRH Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz, Asir Governor, met with His Excellency King Khalid University Rector, Prof. Falleh R. M. Al-Solamy, and the first Badir Volunteer Group, in his office regarding the 'We Are All Volunteers Campaign' and other related initiatives. Also in attendance were the Regional Council and numerous government entity directors.
At the beginning of the meeting, HRH Prince Faisal bin Khalid welcomed the guests. After that, Community Service and Continuing Education Dean, Dr. Omar Alwan Ageel, commended the decisive role HRH Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and HRH Prince Turkey bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Asir Deputy Governor, hold in supporting the region's and university's sustainable development and growth. Dean Ageel explained that this meeting coincides with International Volunteer Day, which has been globally recognized beginning in the year 1985. He then noted that volunteering to help other individuals, our communities and people in other countries plays a substantial role in leading an exemplary life. Non-profit work, he related, is the best example of civic responsibility.
Dean Ageel: 'Non-Profit work is the best example of civic responsibility'.
The dean noted that the university's volunteer work encompasses a wide variety of fields that are cultural, environmental, and social in nature. With community service being one of the university's main priorities, the Deanship of Community Service and Continuing Education has implemented comprehensive requirements, clear objectives, and established the new Volunteer and Community Service Center to guide all activities.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Dean Ageel noted that King Khalid University successfully achieved its goals in delivering more than 500 activities to approximately 36,000 citizens all across the region. It is important, he explained, that we recognize the valuable contributions provided by numerous entities and specialists. While it is impossible to individually list all of the activities, most of them focused on:
- Health;
- Cultural awareness;
- Social responsibility ;
- Self-development;
- Professional-development;
- Lectures in schools and government sectors.
On Wednesday the 27th of Rabīʿ Al-Awwal, His Excellency King Khalid University Rector, Prof. Falleh R. M. Al-Solamy, was pleased to announce the university's inaugural 'We Are All Volunteers Campaign' along with the rollout of enhanced 'Badir Volunteer Work Platform' features. This new program is being spearheaded by the Deanship of Community Service and Continuing Education. The launch of this continuing volunteer effort coincided with International Volunteer Day, which has been globally recognized beginning in the year 1985.
The purpose of the university's 'We Are All Volunteers Campaign' is to raise awareness about volunteer projects and initiatives. Volunteering to help other individuals, our communities and people in other countries plays a substantial role in leading an exemplary life. Every able citizen should strive to contribute to society. Collectively, these efforts improve our world. In addition, volunteering time and resources leads to greater personal fulfillment and gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon those who volunteer.
The university's volunteer campaign is in collaboration with the Saudi Red Crescent Society in Asir and the Public Civil Defense Agency. The organizations will develop plans to have volunteers assist the community in a variety of ways. Also, an important objective is to help develop a culture of volunteerism and raise the number of civic volunteers to 1,000,000 individuals in support of the goals set forth in Vision 2030.
Vice Rector of Academic Development and Quality, Dr. Merzin Al-Shahrani, thanked the Rector for his continued support and enthusiasm for this and many other community service initiatives, such as the 'Tourism Awareness Tent' and the 'Summer Welcoming Initiative'. He also thanked the great multitudes of people who have, and continue to volunteer their time to good and worthy causes. Vice Rector Al-Shahrani reiterated the importance of volunteerism in our local and global communities. He also explained that developing charitable and civic volunteer programs would remain a high priority for the university.
Vice Rector Al-Shahrani: 'In collaboration with our civic and governmental partners, we will help foster a culture of beneficial volunteerism'.
Vice Rector Al-Shahrani added that the university has already instituted a cutting-edge volunteer coordination and tracking program known as 'Badir Volunteer Work Platform' that will work in accordance with the 'We Are All Volunteers Campaign'. This unprecedented platform allows and encourages potential volunteers to register and be matched with the appropriate civic and charitable efforts an interests. The program also tracks volunteer efforts and performance milestones on an on-going basis. This allows for easy analysis of program effectiveness and continuous improvement. This initiative both supports and develops the criteria for the larger objectives as set forth in Vision 2030. So far, hundreds of willing volunteers comprised of students, faculty, and staff have offered their considerable talents and enthusiasm towards worthy volunteer efforts. Community Service and Continuing Education Volunteer Work Supervisor, Dr. Ali Al-Shahrani, explained that the purposes of the 'Badir Volunteer Work Platform' is not just administrative. Instead, he related, it serves a greater purpose in that it aligns itself with Vision 2030.

You'll certainly want to ask them this. Steer clear of any company that is not insured in Illinois, because that means that any incidental damage they may do on your property will be a real hassle to recover compensation for. It is never wise to work with uninsured tradesmen of any kind. Most states also require that someone have insurance in order to be issued a trade license. If they say they're licensed but not insured, they're being less than truthful.
Always ask for references, and always check them. Keep in mind though that the only references you'll get are people who the contractor is certain will give him a good review. You'd also be well advised to check online review sources in Hickory Hills as well, which will give you a broader view of customer satisfaction for a given company.
Some companies may require a 10% deposit, some may not require any. For larger projects, you'll almost always need to give a deposit, and it's good to ask how much the deposit will be before going forward with a project. The Hickory Hills contractor will know how much they need for a deposit when they've given you the estimate, so ask early.
You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Hickory Hills. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.

Review: Helen Rebekah Garber: Numbers, and Eva Schlegel, Solo Exhibition
The lights are dim in the gallery and a somewhat loud, mechanical hum fills the space. To the right of the entrance is an 8-foot-diameter rotor of spinning fan blades that creates a round, slightly flickering surface. Though the sound emanating from it clearly indicates its power, the piece surprisingly does not produce any wind. The round surface of the rotor has a planetary innuendo, which reiterates the themes of the two intermittent films by Eva Schlegel that are projected onto the blades, titled No Man's Heaven and Rotor Universe. A stanchion surrounds the spinning sculpture-cum-movie-screen to prevent people from coming too close. The piece dazzles from the prescribed viewing distance, and the desire to touch it, to see how it works and to be a part of it is overwhelming. Looking from a farther distance, portions of the film spill beyond the rotor boundaries onto two panels behind it, adding multiple layers and shifts of perception.
In No Man's Heaven images of people wearing business attire float into view as if in free fall. You look directly up at them from the ground, yet the rotor is installed perpendicularly, so logically one knows that they are facing the work, but there is a distortion of both time and place. Schlegel is interested in the phenomenon of what it is like to inhabit and navigate the lack of gravity in space. She took photographs of professional body flyers in Zurich for the imagery. The business attire the subjects are wearing alludes to modern capitalist dilemmas such as stock market crashes, or the trauma of failure. Any numbers of other readings are also evident, such as 9/11 or perhaps the more morbid suicide—if it were not for the calm, focused, and at-ease expressions of the falling figures. Using text documentation from European, Russian, and American astronauts, phrases whirl in the rotor, sometimes superimposed over the figures, and sometimes on a stark white background. In some instances the large text is bowed, as if it were projected onto a glass ball, while in other cases the text spins like a pinwheel from the center out: "To begin with, you felt like you always want to hang onto something." By using actual testimonial and subjects wearing everyday clothes, Schlegel is conceptually inviting the viewer to imagine themselves in the feeling of weightlessness: "It wasn´t just me falling, but everything was falling, which gave me an even a more unsettling feeling . . ."

As a Depression baby, I grew up liking poor people better
than I liked rich people. I suppose it was partly because there were
many more poor people in our Baptist church than there were rich
people, and the poor majority's favorite Bible verse was the one in
chapter 6, verse 20 of St. Luke that quotes Jesus saying: "Blessed
be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God."
I suppose there are Biblical passages that say nice things
about rich folks too, but we never talked about them in our church.
My father, who was born and grew up in an honest-to-God
sodhouse, probably had something to do with my anti-rich prejudice.
It wasn't that my father wouldn't like to become a little rich
himselfat least rich enough that he might be able to buy a new
Buick. And in 1940 he did. A brand new Buick that he went to Flint,
Michigan to buy right off the assembly line.
He had it for nearly a month before he wrecked it while he
was showing his buddies how fast it would go. He was tooling along
just ahead of his buddy, the county sheriff, when he came up over a
slightly elevated spot on the dirt road where the other side was
occupied by a heard of cattle who had decided that it was time to
cross the road.
My father wasn't badly hurt but the Buick was a mess. And
he was chided for driving too fast by the richest of the Baptist
church congregation. Which made our whole family decide that moneyed
folks weren't very likeable. And my mother decided that my father
should become somewhat like Miniver Cheevy, the title character in a
poem written by E.A. Robinson nearly a century ago:
"Miniver scorned the gold he sought,
But sore annoyed was he without it;
Miniver thought, and thought, and thought,
And thought about it."
But I digress. All that reminiscence came to mind a
couple of weeks ago when Warren Buffett, the second most richest man
in America. testified before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee in
defense of the federal estate tax. That's a tax on inherited wealth
and it's been around since 1916. President Bushand others who are
in line to inherit big buckswant to do away with it.
They call it the death tax.
It's the kind of tax that English majors don't need to
worry too much about because the vast majority of us won't leave an
estate of $2 million or more, the point at which the current estate
tax kicks in.
But people like Warren Buffett, whose estate is currently
worth about $52 billion, second only to the estate of Bill Gates,
would pay a whole lot.
And get this: he's all in favor of doing it.
Here's what ticks Buffett off: he was taxed at 17.7
percent on the $46 million he made last year. But his secretary, who
earned $60,000 last year, was taxed at 30 percent of her income.
Andare you ready for this?he's not ticked off because he had to
pay more than she did. He's ticked off because his tax was based on
barely half the percentage as his secretary's was.
He told the U.S. Senate Finance Committee that "I think we
need to
take a little more out of the hides of guys like me."
And he said that the richest among us "pay a lower part of
our income than our receptionists do, or our cleaning ladies, for
that matter. If you're in the luckiest 1 percent of humanity, you
owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent."
This from a guy who still lives in an Omaha house that he
paid $31,500 for in 1958.
How many billionaires do you know who are willing to
protest their secretaries being taxed at a greater percentage of
their income than the billionaires are taxed?
It's enough to give even an English major the fantods.
And it moved Buffett to tell the Senate Finance Committee that
"Dynastic wealth, the enemy of meritocracy, is on the
.Equality of Opportunity has been on the decline. A
progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed to curb the movement
of a democracy toward plutocracy."
And when Republican Chairman Charles Grassley said that
"the death tax" was "fundamentally wrong," Buffett said that the use
of "death tax" was "intellectually dishonest" and "clever, Orwellian,
and dead wrong."
Tough Talk, but that's what you're asking for when you
cross your understanding of how money works with the understanding of
someone called the Oracle of Omaha.

from his confusion. His column appears on alternate Mondays. His e-mail

text: Rural students, living in small villages, who enter university for the first time, need, in many cases, to make major personal adjustments to their new circumstances in a very short time. Most are overwhelmed by these requirements to the detriment of their study programme. In recognition of this need, the Fund instituted a one day workshop in December each year to instruct new university entrants in the disciplines and requirements needed to adapt to university life in the shortest time possible. They also learn to deal with unexpected problems and are cautioned against indulging in risky behaviour. Workshops are held in a relaxed rural setting and are led by professionals in different fields. Topics covered include Registration; University structures; Fresher week; Student expectations; Bank accounts; Budgeting and Study loans; Setting targets and Positive thinking; Library skills; Study and Exam techniques; Time management; Social issues and much more. Students have a good opportunity to meet their future mentors during lunch and at tea breaks.

RICHMOND, Va. -- One driver is asking the CBS 6 Problem Solvers for help to find out who is responsible for fixing an issue with a ramp headed to I-195 in Richmond.
Joseph Turner is desperate to find out who is responsible for fixing a road hazard along Idlewood Avenue near the I-195 on ramp he encounters on his drive to work.
"When they repaved I-195, I though they would have fixed it, but it hasn't gotten any better," Turner said. "I have been reporting to VDOT online and nothing has come of that."
VDOT spokesperson Bethany Glover said the online reply Turner received showing the issue was resolved was automated and did not spell additional details about the area.
"It's right on the edge of our jurisdiction with Richmond, so it's understandable they'd send the request to us and we are working closely with Richmond's Department of Public Works to make sure repairs are made," Glover added.
She says frustrated driers who find themselves dipping and dodging potholes like these along I-95 are encouraged to report them as soon as they spot them, so crews can tackle them ASAP.
What causes potholes?
"Potholes form after periods of low temps when moisture seeps into pavements, freezes then expands, then it thaws again and causes the pavement to crumble," Glover previously told CBS 6.
If a new pothole shows up in your neighborhood, reach out to your local city, county, or VDOT at 1-800-367-ROAD depending on who maintains your roads.
In Henrico, workers try to fulfill requests and make repairs within 24 hours. VDOT will respond based on priority.
Richmond residents are encouraged report potholes to the city by calling 3-1-1 or on www.Richmondgov.com.
If your car ends up in the repair shop because of a pothole you can file a damage claim through VDOT or your local jurisdiction. Each case is looked at individually and depending on the circumstances you could be paid for your troubles.
CBS 6 News is working for you. Click here to email a tip to the CBS 6 Problem Solvers. Be sure to leave us your name, phone number and detailed description of the problem. You can also leave a message by calling 804-254-3672.

They Arrived
So my flowers finally got here. It's a funny and sad Valentine's. Apparently the DHL plane couldn't land because of the weather yesterday - all the snow and ice. The flower arrived and had obviously been frozen and then thawed so all the buds on the miniature rose bush plant were waterlogged and dead. My father was not happy. Maybe I'll get something free out of it. Regardless they are sitting on my desk and I'm sending happy thoughts that direction looking forward to the day when they will bloom.

You'd think Isabel would have been jealous of her brother.
He was the firstborn, after all. And since Percival was born first, that meant he would inherit instead of her. He teased her about it for years before finally realising that she honestly didn't care.
Apart from the teasing, Percy was a good brother and Isabel knew she was lucky to have him.
She still didn't envy him as they grew older. While he was learning about the responsibilities he would inherit, Isabel was free to be…Isabel. She was headstrong and beautiful, and enjoyed what freedom being the 'spare' could bring.
Then he strayed onto Changer territory. It was only for a moment and he never meant to do it, but they took him.
Three months later, Isabel received a letter from Percy that said he wasn't coming back, that he was going to stay willingly with his abductors. After screaming at the messenger to get out, Isabel sat down and cried.
It was when her tears had dried that she realised what that meant.
She wasn't the spare any more. She was the heir. She was now going to have to deal with everything that Percy had spent his entire life preparing for.
She'd had no training for it. No preparation.
But she wasn't jealous of her brother's new freedom. She had never envied him in her life before and she didn't intend to start then. Instead, she allowed her fear of the future to crystallise into anger. She hardened her heart against the ones who had taken her brother.
She was determined to be strong and to be the Lady she was needed to be. Nobody was going to take advantage of her and God help them if they tried.
But she was still Isabel and that would never change.

As the World Cup approaches, football fever is spreading with office sweepstakes and pub blackboards listing fixtures. The last thing you want while enjoying a kick-about in the park, or cheering on a game in the pub, is to be worrying about your home. Here are some simple things you can do to keep your home safe during football season.
No ticket, no entry.
- Lock your windows and doors
Sound obvious? With almost 30% of burglars entering homes through an unlocked door or window, and an astonishing 34% enter through the front door, it's important to remember!
Turn on the floodlights
- Install motion sensor lights outside your home
Security lights that are triggered by movement near your property can deter burglars who would much rather who be hiding in dark corners. They also give you welcome illumination when you're returning home after dark.
- Install smart lights for unpredictable extra-time
With smart lights, you can adjust the times when they illuminate your home, the fact the times aren't predictable will make the illusion that there are people at home more realistic than more traditional lights on timers. Burglars will spot the routine of timed lights, so smart bulbs are a must.
Avoid showboating
- Keep valuables out of sight
Burglars will usually scout out properties before taking the risk of breaking and entering. The way they do this? Peering through windows. Avoid having valuables scattered visibly throughout your home.
- Frost your windows:
Are you unlikely to remember to put your iPad away in a drawer or to hide your piggy-bank in the cupboard? Then make sure burglars can't peep in through your windows and see them by applying privacy film to your windows.
- Curtail their view with curtains and/or blinds
One of the easiest things you can do to make your home burglar-unfriendly is to install curtains or blinds (go cordless if you have young children) – and then use them. If a thief can't see in, they'll likely move on to target a different house.
Support your local team
- Join a neighbourhood watch:
The UK's largest voluntary movement, with similar schemes globally, is Neighbourhood Watch. Their mission is to "bring neighbours together to create strong, friendly, active communities" and with 2.3 million members in the UK, they play a huge role in crime prevention. Find out about and join your local Neighbourhood Watch here.
- Make friends with your neighbours
If your neighbours know who you are, they'll also know if a stranger is poking around your house and be able to let you know.
Keep your garden football game ready
- A well-kept lawn makes it clear that you are not away on holiday, that you take care of things so are unlikely to leave your valuables lying around in your home, ready to grab.
- Well-pruned hedges are harder to hide behind.
- If your tools and ladders are put away in a locked shed or garage, they can't be used to aid a break in!
Get a season ticket to always see your team
- Install a home security system to check in on your home from anywhere
The most reliable way to deter burglars is a home security system. Most will know that dummy cameras are fake, but there are affordable and simple systems out there, like our very own Cocoon! Taking seconds to install and offering multi-room protection from one beautiful gadget, that connects to your phone so you receive smart alerts wherever you are.
For more tips to help you feel safe at home and away, visit the Cocoon blog.

In the world of transformation and Technology, everybody is looking quite busy in accomplishing their daily life goals. In simple words, technology has transformed the heavyweight of purchasing some household items. The mattress is a very important and crucial household item that you all need to purchase on a regular basis. Some people find it difficult to judge the situations which are ideally perfect to purchase a new mattress. Well, if you want to make full use of your existing mattress after using it for nearly 8 or 10 years, then you can think about donating your mattresses.
You will not only become a hope for the homeless shelter but also you can increase the self Reliance and there is a not single misconception about this particular case. If you really want to become someone's hope then the idea of donating your mattress is still the number one. In fact, you can get some blessings from the homeless Shelters would love to get used or second-hand mattress from you. This is a very important consideration which can make you agree to think about donating your mattress.
Before visiting your nearest mattress storeright now, you should try to think about the list of advantages that you are going to get after donating a mattress to the required persons. The idea of donating a mattress will surely provide you a better and amazing experience. You can conserve the same case with your loved ones and family members for making yourself a bit much more assured. You can also think about recycling your existing mattress but this idea may not provide you the best outcomes which you would expect.
Charities will never deny such an amazing proposal offered by you. It simply means that you are helping the charity who takes care of the people who are living inside the public areas and sectors. In short, you will be able to get self-happiness and gratitude for helping the people who need your help. At this present moment, you had got a better point of view to think about the idea of donating your mattresses to the hopeless and Homeless Shelters.

"Poetic craft is a carcass, a sham. If poetry doesn't come as naturally as leaves to a tree, then it better not come at all…A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; it's to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery."
~ Ben Wishaw as John Keats in Jane Campion's Bright Star
Bright Star
by John Keats
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art--
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--
No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever--or else swoon to death.
