Los Angeles stops to stare and reALIze
In Downtown Los Angeles, there is a new and massive post-modern work of art to behold nestled in the Nokia Plaza, across the street from the Staples Center. No, it is not a new piece of street art or a large tribute to the Lakers, but rather a jumble of boxing bags, aluminum tubing, and stainless steel. Dennis Ponce, who has come to observe the monument, walks his 10-year-old son Chris up to a mat on the ground that provides the perfect point of view to reveal the inspiration that is reALIze. The view from the spot reveals the face of boxing legend and cultural icon Muhammad Ali. When asked by his son who the man is, Ponce responds, "That is Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer to ever live. There won't be another like him."
The reALIze exhibit, a monument dedicated to arguably the single greatest boxer to float around a boxing ring, is on display until only April 9, and is free to the public. The creative force behind the tribute of Ali is Michael Kalish, known for his portraits that use license plates as his unique medium. Kalish also employed the help of Los Angeles based architectural firm Oyler Wu Collaborative to help with his daunting three-year project.
Kalish used five miles of stainless steel, two miles of aluminum tubing, and 1,300 silver and black boxing speed bags.
While sports fans surely admire the monument, it has also attracted others who find no interested in sports involving boxing gloves or any other type of equipment. Megan Hillis and Erika Freedman didn't know it was a monument of Muhammad Ali. "Oh it's Muhammad Ali? I didn't even know that," Hillis said as she laughed. Freedman adds, "Of course we've heard of him. We just didn't realize that it's supposed to be him." Despite the lack of knowledge, both Hillis and Freedman still admitted that they found the monument a piece of art.
"The thing that to me stands out the most is that is sums up Muhammad Ali's legacy perfectly. I can't imagine anyone else having something like this built for them," said Stanley Bonds, a self-proclaimed boxing enthusiast. "Not only is Muhammad Ali known in the sporting world, he has transcended that realm and has become a cultural and global icon. He is known throughout the world."

Not only has Snapchat's stock taken some billion dollar hits recently (lookin' at you Rihanna and Kylie), the multimedia messaging app has also lost popularity among its' users due to the most recent software update which altered the layout and user-friendly appeal of the app.
What does this mean for your company? Should you even bother with Snapchat? Well, despite their dissatisfaction, there are still 300 million+ active monthly users on the app, so it's clear there are still potential audiences to reach.
The real question here is how can your business leverage the platform to increase brand awareness for your company? Similar to most large social media platforms, if you want to get in front of people, you're going to have to pay to play. If your audience skews younger, it could be worthwhile to test advertising on Snapchat. The app recently released new features to enhance their location targeting. Specifically, you can now target an audience based on location type, such as a beach, or a mall. Snapchat has announced this as a win-win scenario because it helps brand target "high-intent Snapchatters" while users will be receiving ads when they are most likely to need them.
The second update, radius targeting, might sound familiar to you if you have any prior experience with Facebook or Instagram ads. You can now use radius targeting to create a customized radius based on an address, city, pin, or point of interest like a sports stadium or university. Both of these ad options are available now via a new location search bar in Ads Manager.
So whether or not you decide to take the plunge with Snap Ads, it is obvious that they are trying to stay competitive with these updates. There's also word that they are testing a Foot Traffic Insights tool aimed to help advertisers with brick-and-mortar locations more easily track in-store foot traffic, which could provide meaningful ROI for a multitude of companies. Be sure to check back on the blog for more Snapchat and other relevant social media updates.

Reports from the Courts
Fiona Mckay
In our latest review of the court decisions of most interest to construction Andrew Croft and Simii Sivapalan look at two cases:
One case which highlights the need for clear and consistent drafting and held that a reference to a party having absolute discretion did not mean they could ignore the notice requirements for termination; and
Another which confirms the need to serve a pay less notice in relation to final or termination accounts as well as to interim payments.

Spike Lee's "Chiraq" and The History of Public Housing
Following an extended screening of Spike Lee's new film "Chiraq" a heated exchange occurs between Spike and Umi Selah during a questions and answer session. The exchange brought the seldom told history of the systematic destruction of working-class and poor African American communities to the forefront of discussion. Ultimate, Umi Selah was looking to halt historical discourse and acceptance of the black ghetto's existence solely becaue of the "cultural behaviors" of black and brown people. Just as I, Umi Selah looks to expose the conscious efforts of our profession to absolve the most powerful shapers of society, architects, urban planners and social scientists from their responsibilities.Read More

Harvesting the Ice
A man gathers for household use by the shore in Ilulissat. According to researchers at the Danish Meterological Institute, the Greenland ice sheet is shrinking at an alarming speed. Nearly ten cubic kilometres of ice melts every day, dumping freshwater into the ocean. The ice sheet plays an important role in cooling down the planet, as 90 percent of sunlight is reflected back out into the atmosphere. Losing the Greenland ice due to man made global warming will rise sea levels by up to 20 feet, disrupt the ocean currents by diluting the salinity and accelerate the heating of the planet.Add to Cart Add to Lightbox

Home Again, Home Again.
Last Thursday, just as planned...sort of. Four hours behind schedule. We left Los Angeles and headed South(east.) The trip was long. And not always easy. Each night as the sun set, my eye lids got extremely heavy. But after 3 days and 2 nights on the road, soaking in the stunning/evolving landscapes and funny roadside attractions. We made it!
Our top recommendations most definitely include: The Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, AZ. and Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. However, we visited Cadillac Ranch after dark so unfortunately no photos were taken.
Now, we rest and rejoice. We are in Mississippi.
PS. New outfit posts coming at ya this week!

Esteemed Readers,
I offer you another 17th century riddle. At the end of the post I finally publish the right answer to the previous Sphinx's riddle. Good luck!
- In Kings' palace where luxury reigns any feast & game of the Court
- I may see beauties that burn love.
- The greatest give me place & everybody demands me.
- I'm elevated above all & my glory is so huge
- That I give shelter to immortal Gods.
- I'm guided with pomp day & night
- And I often shoe victims & givings.
- My soul is fire that devours my body
- Which may suffer gruesome efforts.
- My weeps & my life pass together with me.
- Oh, Human Race that reigns my force,
- Is it necessary to perish to serve you?
- If the payment for my labour
- Should be only my death?
REPLY to the riddle posted on June 3, 2017: A BUCKET. My congratulations to Rosaliene Bacchus. She has guessed it out! 😉 😉 😉

Home > Ride-On / Tractor Mowers
Enjoy comfortable operation in all weathers & excellent versatility.
Supplied with a cab and road kit as standard, you can work in comfort whatever the weather and rest assured that you have the option of travelling between sites or using it on roadside banks and verges without an issue.
A top performance mower
Thanks to Yanmar's 3 cylinder 1331cc diesel engine, the 740DCR is well-suited to working on areas over 15 acres, allowing transport speeds of up to 20 km/h while being able to benefit from increased ground clearance and larger wheels. The engine also powers the large cutter deck, allowing you to get more grass cut more quickly.
Enjoy brilliant cutting all-year round
For efficient cutting, this machine comes with a 155 cm heavy duty cutter deck that allows you to cut more grass, more quickly, without sacrificing on the quality of finish. You can choose from cut heights between 35 - 105 mm and cutting methods between Multiclip (mulching) and rear discharge, easily and without leaving the driver's seat. For a flawless finish, anti-scalping and rear support rollers are included.
High levels of comfort & easy operation
The cab included with this model ensures you can work at a comfortable temperature and are kept dry while on the job. In addition, it is an easy machine to work with, courtesy of a unique chassis design and articulated steering, which means you can steer from the centre point between the two axles, allowing you to manoeuvre around obstacles more easily, knowing that once you have passed them with the cutter deck you are safe to turn. Also benefiting from 4WD transmission, the Titan 740DCR is ideal to use whatever the weather.
Able to be easily adapted for other purposes
You can easily adapt the Titan 740DCR without using tools so that it can function as an effective snow clearer, sweeper or for moving material, among other things. When you also factor in the road kit and cab, you have a machine that is up to a huge range of jobs and suitable for use all-year-round.
Comes with a 3 year conditional domestic warranty & a 1 year commercial warranty.

Just as New Orleans gave birth to jazz around the turn of the 20th century, New York gave birth to a new sound in the '60s and '70s. It was music for dancing, a delirious blend of African and Caribbean sounds, peppered with polyrhythm. Its pioneers, mostly of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent, took those influences and created something new: salsa. (That's right, this stuff was made in New York City!)
"Rhythm and Power: Salsa in New York," an exhibition opening Tuesday, June 13, at the Museum of the City of New York, explores this history in depth. Visitors will be able to see the dance's basic steps as well as more complicated movements in video projections. Also on view will be dozens of artifacts, from clothes worn by Celia Cruz to Tito Puente's timbales. A number of events are planned, including a walking tour of East Harlem and family dance parties. (Through Nov. 26; mcny.org.)

Middlebury, Vt. - The Middlebury Panthers scored four times in the first half and never looked back, posting a 5-0 shutout over the Trinity College Bantams in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Field Hockey Championship game on Sunday on Kohn Field. Middlebury claims its fifth conference title in program history and the fourth in the last six seasons. The top-seeded and second-ranked Panthers improve to 16-2 overall and receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament while No. 17-ranked Trinity, the tournament's No. 5 seed, falls to 12-6 on the year and awaits its NCAA Tournament destiny until Sunday night when the field is announced.
Middlebury got off to a quick start, taking a 1-0 lead 7:04 into the contest. Grace Jennings (Ghent, N.Y.) took a shot that Trinity goalie Lori Berger (Scottsdale, Ariz.) stopped, but Molly Freeman (North Kingstown, R.I.) slid in the rebound inside the right post. Emma Johns (North Andover, Mass.) later doubled the advantage for the Panthers, spinning and shooting from the left side for her fifth tally of the season with an even 23:00 on the clock.
Trinity had a quality chance to close the gap on a penalty corner with just over 17 minutes left in the first half but was not able to come up with the score. Senior co-captain Kelcie Finn (Weymouth, Mass.) fired a shot from the top of the arc that deflected off a defender, but Middlebury goalie Abby Furdak (Wellesley, Mass.) swatted the ball away as it was headed toward the upper portion of the net.
Middlebury captain Annie Leonard (Darien, Conn.) closed out the half with a pair of goals, scoring the first at 21:58 on an assist from Erin Nicholas (Scarsdale, N.Y.) and the second at 26:31 on a give-and-go with Lauren Schweppe (Chester Springs, Pa.). Both tallies came in the final 15 minutes of the opening frame as the hosts led 4-0 at the break.
In the second half, the Panthers added a final goal with 24:46 left on the clock when Freeman tipped in a shot by Schweppe.
The Bantams attempted to spoil the shutout in the final 10 minutes with a rush that began at midfield. First-year Kendall Brown (Greenwich, Conn.) carried the ball toward the Panther cage in transition with Finn racing down the right side, but Middlebury defender Olivia Green (Chappaqua, N.Y.) made a stellar defensive play to end the threat and preserve the final 5-0 score.
Furdak made one save for her fourth shutout of the season, while Berger had eight stops for the Bantams. Middlebury held an 18-4 edge in shots and took six of the game's eight penalty corners.

This is Trapper. He is a 4 year old neutered male Anatolian Shepherd Dog. We found Trapper on death row in an Austin TX shelter way back in October of 2011.
We did not have an open foster at that time so Trapper went to a boarding kennel.
He has been in boarding most of the time since October. He is going on almost 8 months now of languishing in a kennel.
He absolutely loves and adores people but he prefers to be the only dog in the house. Look at this face with his sad, pleading, soulful amber eyes. He loves to be brushed, he loves to have attention and be petted. He loves to just follow you around or lay at your feet. But he isn't fond of other dogs so he needs to be the only dog in the home.
Surely there MUST be a dog-less family out there just looking for a handsome guy like this!!
Surely there MUST be a dog-less family out there just looking for a handsome guy like this!!
Just look at all the wonderful qualities this handsome gentleman possesses......
- He is loving and affectionate
- He is housebroken
- He walks on a leash
- He knows basic commands
- He's a great guardian and watch dog
- He is very loyal and would devote himself to his family
- He doesnt chew stuff up
- He doesn't jump fences
- He doesn't ask for much
Please take a look at this guy's face and if you can think of anyone that might be interested in a big
loveable pooch like this, please send them this blog post.
We will do just about anything in our power to transport him almost anywhere within the lower 48 states or Canada.

I've been saying for some time that I would like to add another PMDD illustration to my shop, but I was struggling to find a new approach the subject. I had already explored the feeling of being trapped in your own body and the need to remember that it will pass in my previous images. Eventually, I decided that I wanted to focus on the conflicted feelings I have toward my body.
I am so incredibly grateful to have conceived, grown and sustained my two beautiful children with minimal trouble, but the exact same part of my body that achieved such magic and wonder, is torturing me now that they have been born. It is my dual blessing and curse.
So, I pulled up some medical diagrams of the female reproductive system and doodled all over them until I had a sketch that I felt could portray this dual concept of feminine beauty and pain. As a side note, I chose apple blossoms as they supposedly represent fertility and tried to keep the colours as close to the original medical diagrams as possible.
At this point the illustration took on a slightly classical look that had me nicknaming it 'Bruterus' in my head. I started out with PMDD in mind, but now that it is complete, it rings true for everything from endometriosis to uterine prolapse – the hidden, taboo pains that so many women and AFAB are left to carry alone.
This print is available in my shop and, as always, 50% of its proceeds will be donated to the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders (formerly the Gia Allemand Foundation). You can read more about this wonderful organisation here.
And if you have PMDD, know someone who has PMDD or have never even heard of PMDD before, please check out the amazing video Me v PMDD released below.

Unwrap The Mummy Halloween Party Game
This is such a fun game for Halloween parties! It's easy to do, and requires very little time. The perfect game for classroom parties or a Hotel Transylvania themed party! Just sit the kids in a circle, and let them unwrap the toilet paper mummy to reveal prizes for all! So fun!
You'll Need:
- 3 or more rolls of super strong toilet paper.
- Lots of small Halloween prizes and candy – **Pencils are tough – they poke through the mummy. We tried, but ditched the pencils.
- Hot glue
- 2 Large google eyes – around 40 mm
- Start by using a roll of toilet paper as your base
- Start wrapping the toilet paper roll with another roll pulling it snug as you wrap
- Once you have it going around the toilet paper roll, and feel like it's holding well, you can start adding the prizes
- Start placing prizes some distance apart – it's more fun if you give a good amount of space between prizes so each kid has fun unwrapping the paper before revealing their prize, and passing it to the next child
- Roll over the prizes
- Keep going until you have a large amount of prizes and the roll is looking large enough to resemble a head
- Now turn the roll on it's side, and start wrapping the opposite way to get a ball shape – it's up to you, if you want to do prizes this way, too
- Finish off by wrapping the ball in a criss-cross pattern and leaving a little toilet paper hanging out for a messy mummy!
- Add google eyes with your hot glue!
- You're done!
- Enjoy! Oh! Did I forget to mention the amount of toilet paper you'll be picking up after the party is done?! Re-purpose it, and teepee someone's house! Double the fun!
Here's some stuff you might need or even want for this fun game:
Hey there! Don't leave me yet. Do you want more? Click on the buttons below, and come hang out with me in my social places.
And, really don't leave before you sign up for a daily dose of my craziness!
Thanks for stopping in. I'll see you soon!

Woke up minimal pain which was a nice change for once, didn't last for long but was nice to actually get some rest without waking up at level 5 pain like has become normal.
Got tacked up and headed out to walk the dogs, of course driving to get the dogs and what started the flair process but that's become normal. Get the dogs and off walking we all go, two hours later I'm back home and my pains back at 5 hitting the edges of 6 and I'm fumbling things I'm trying to handle (trying to make myself lunch).
Get that dun and of course start chocking on the food as I start to eat it all because I forgot to grab the fizzy water that helps me swallow food = ask my husband to use the soda stream to add some fizz to my bottle of water. Get finished with lunch and head to work on my main comp to work on a site that I've been overhauling. Work a few hours on that before my pain level hits 7 and I can't fit any longer.
Get up and move around cleaning up things as I move and getting things ready to start the lundary for tomorrow. Head upstairs to rest and end up taking about an hours nap, while my husband plays on the xbox. Get up and start making dinner finish and settle in to playing minecraft with my husband. Pains back to a 5 edging at a 6 and I'm actually feeling down since I know there is an event that I've been involved with for the past 8 years that we can't afford to attend, I've got my free pass for working on the program for the weekend but can't afford to pay for a day or weekend pass for my husband to also attend.
So feeling a little down that we can't attend for the second year in a row yet at the same time glad because I'm starting to have more and more issues with loud places and large groups of people. Even going to the mall or Walmart tends to test my ability to get though without going into total sensory meltdown n overload.

We're a bit late with all of our Summer Solstice posts due to major problems with the blog. Apologies for the delays, the unavailability at times and the general faffing about with what had been a very stable setup. We are slowly returning to normality, and beyond. There are some great new things coming very soon which I will personally be launching for you in the late summer. Before that, we've got a series of Summer Solstice posts which we hope will fascinate and amuse you.
Our destination for Summer Solstice was The Ring of Kerry in Ireland. Before we left I did a tarot reading to try to determine some of the aspects of the trip. Now, doing such a draw is always a bit of a chicken-and-egg scenario. In other words – does the reading make the events happen, or do the events happen in accordance with the reading? We can never really know objectively, but subjectively the tarot readings are inspirational, aspirational and often sensational. This was one such reading.
The Questions for Summer
1 What are the characteristics of my energy going in to Ireland?
- Nine of Bows (Respect)
- Ten of Bows (Responsibility)
- Knight of Vessels (Eel)
Notice that the Respect card features an Otherworldly face. Whenever I have encountered energy forms from the Otherworld I have been guided to treat them with great respect.
I also noticed that the Responsibility card showed a person climbing a mountain weighed down with stuff. Previous outings suggested that I would be climbing mountains on our expedition, but this was South West Ireland we were heading to – wouldn't that be flat?
The Eel card had come up on my last summer solstice draw! Back then it had shown me the way to finding The Eel Sword. Would this be a reference to ancestors? I was certainyl back in my ancestral homeland, so that was promising. We will see.
2. How will that energy be changed?
This question was further sub-divided into two aspects: what would make the change, and what would the result of the change be?What will govern the change of energy?
- King of Bows (Adder)
What will the energy be changed to?
- Queen of Bows (Hare)
- The Ancestor
- Page of Vessels (Otter)
Interesting that I get the Ancestor card again in relation to Ireland and considering the Eel card was drawn. Also, if I remember correctly, the Otter card was also part of my previous summer solstice in Ireland tarot draw! Coincidence? Massive coincidence!
The difference here is that the card which leads me into an energy change is The Hare. You will see in sunsequent posts how this becomes a significant character in the way these stories evolve.
3. Which two cards describe the outcome?
- The Green Man
- The Ace of Bows (Spark of Life)
Well, The Green Man! In a Summer Solstice layout? Could it be more perfect? And as a resolution card too? The accompanying text for many of the cards drawn indicates that they are related to the transition from early to late summer, with the Green Man signifying the solstice specifically. King of Bows is moving away from Beltane, and Queen of Bows is moving towards Midsummer.
You may also notice the surprisingly large number of high status cards. Very few "number" cards in that draw – the majority are picture cards or regal cards.
In the next few posts I will tell the story of the summer solstice journey, and you will see how both Kal and my stories inter-relate to an astonishing degree. Then, at the end, I will pull it all together to review how the tarot reading had a bearing on the whole experience. Stay with us for the journey!

Overpayment Errors To Blame for UK Pensioner Cuts
The biggest data-checking in UK's history revealed that due to poor record keeping, accounting errors, and missing documents, over 40 years of pensions were overpaid to tens of thousands of retirees dating back to the 70s.
The massive data review involved thousands of public and private sector retirement pension plans. The government asked them to review records of millions of workers who contracted out and paid less national insurance contributions.
In consequence, doing so gave them smaller state pensions upon their retirement. Their outside pension contracts are the Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) their employers offered to them. Most companies ask their employees to use the GMP to maximise their partnerships with pension funds.
As a result, many of the agencies found discrepancies. The UK Civil Service Pension Scheme with one million members found about £22 million in overpayments due to GMP errors. Another private sector fund saw about 10,000 to 15,000 members with both overpayments and underpayments.
According to UK Minister of State for Pensions Steve Webb, if the company GMP paid you is "greater than previously thought," referring to the data checks, then your state pension is ultimately reduced. The Department for Work and Pensions said individuals "will not pay any overpayments" but will have to prepare for any state pension reductions.

Mango Pineapple Shake
I've gone through lots of breakfast phases in my life. When I was young, I often ate what my parents referred to as the prison breakfast–toast and water. When I got a little older, I started eating granola bars for breakfast, because I needed something quick. In high school, I rarely ate breakfast, because when I woke up I wasn't hungry. If I did eat, it would usually be a piece of fruit.
Summer breakfasts were different only because I swam. I'd eat lots of fruit, some vegetables and two or more eggs every morning after practice, but that was the most involved my food ever really got. But recently, I've fallen back in love with the idea of having breakfast every morning.
I'm going through a phase of making lots of yogurt, smoothies and breakfast shakes, and it's some of the most fun I've ever had with breakfast. In addition, I'm actually getting some nutrition in the morning until starving myself until whenever I can get my hands on food (sophomore and junior year, that was third period). Still, even if I exercise, I find it hard to be hungry for a lot of food in the morning. That led me to making things like this shake; it's nutritious and filling, but the recipe only makes about a half pint, making it the perfect size for a weekday breakfast.
I'm still the kind of person who doesn't want to eat if she's not hungry, but I've found a way to get the nutrition I need from my breakfast without totally overloading myself with calories I don't need. Breakfast may not be the end all be all of important meals, but it's undisputedly a good idea to eat something before you go about your day, even if it's only a half pint.
- ¼ cup coconut water
- ¾ cup frozen mango chunks
- 2-4 pineapple chunks
- 1 banana
- 1 sprig of mint (for garnish)
In a blender, pulse the coconut water, mango, pineapple and banana until smooth and thick. It might be hard for the blender to get it all. If it sticks, try adding a little bit more coconut water or using a spatula to crush the fruit a little manually.
Pour into a half pint mason jar and garnish with a sprig of mint, for flavor and aesthetic.

Dual events in Cavite to end the National Arts Month
The two museums in Kawit under the National Historical Commission of the Philippines' (NHCP) Cavite Cluster ended the month-long observance of National Arts Month with two events on Wednesday.
NHCP's Cavite Cluster is composed of the Museo ng Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio, also known as Bonifacio Trial House (BTH) in Maragondon, Museo ni Baldomero Aguinaldo (MBA); and Museo ni Emilio Aguinaldo (MEA), which are both located in Kawit.
Cluster Head and MEA's curator Haidee Paulette Bedruz said that the highlighted activities presented to a variety of art enthusiasts from grade school to high school, as well as humanities students, history teachers, and the general public.
Leading the list is MBA in Kawit's Binakayan Village which offered a review of the letters written by Baldomero Aguinaldo, dubbed as "Dear Baldomero" at 10 a.m. with NHCP History Researcher Eufemio Agbayani Jr. serving as a reviewer, said Bedruz.
The activity, meant for Grades 5 to 6 and Junior High School students, unveiled Baldomero's thoughts and ideas on the course of the Philippine Revolution.
This event also served as the launching activity of Baldomero Aguinaldo's sesquicentennial.
On the other hand, MEA launched "Illuminating Artistry: The Arts and Advocacy of Taal's Heritage Hero" featuring well-renowned sculptor Architect Ramon Orlina at 1:00 p.m.
Bedruz said that in this activity, "Orlina made History teachers, as well as Humanities and Arts students aware and appreciate his advocacy in preserving the heritage of Taal."
She said Orlina's artistry "inspired people on the role of local heroes who can actively play in saving heritage for future generations."
An architect by profession who hails from Taal, Batangas, Orlina is the country's first glass sculptor. He goes beyond his artistry as he openly scrutinizes the renovations and modifications of the oldest church in Asia, the Taal Basilica.
Another activity, supposedly for Bonifacio Trial House in Maragondon named "Aba, Abaniko!" an art and craftsmanship workshop scheduled at 2 p.m. was postponed to a later schedule.
Arts Month is celebrated every February and NHCP has scheduled various activities.
This year's theme "Ani ng Sining, Alab ng Sining" (Harvest of the Arts, Flame of Art), emphasizes the bounty of artistic endeavors in the Philippines and the passion of Filipino artists and cultural workers.

All in Photography Experiences
Palo Duro Canyon. The second largest canyon in the United States, trailing only the Grand Canyon. One of the darkest places in Texas, after Big Bend.
This is one of my first big photography related projects. A proper time lapse movie. Between one-hundred twenty and one-hundred fifty seconds long. Inspired by all those short travel video time lapses that are a dime-a-dozen on Youtube.
2017's photographic fascination have been time lapse photography. If I want to shoot every night, I need to do it close to my apartment (DFW traffic is awful).
I took an overnight trip to Caprock Canyons State Park in July, solely for the purpose of photographing the stars. A few of my friends mentioned taking a road trip to New Mexico, and I tagged along for the first leg.
Just in case you have been living under a rock for the last few weeks, there was a total solar eclipse that transited the entire continental United States.
Infrared (IR) photography is a fun little side project of mine that I do from time to time. No, I don't have any fancy equipment, like an IR converted camera, or anything like that. For me, IR photography is a natural extension of my love for long exposures.

Whenever a small aircraft is used for reconnaisance and observation, no matter what the purpose may be, some precautions should be taken into account.
You may be trying to locate missing persons, the place of an accident, observing an oil rig, trying to take pictures, hunt from above, going after a couple of bank robbers racing away in a car, etc. and indeed, a small gyrocopter, helicopter or GA airplane may prove to be the ideal platform for you. But oddly enough, such apparently innocent and simple jobs have proven statistically to be among the most dangerous in the avition community. So, in order to avoid rather painful incidents, here are some recommendations for you:
- The two main causes for accidents involving observation aircraf are pilot distractions and the fall from the cockpit, mainly in the case of the observers that ride along thos who fly the machines.
- The pilot should never be doing both jobs at the same time; the one who flies the aircraft should be doing that and watching its surroundings in order to fly safely. The observer - that is, the person who looks outside, aims weapons, takes pictures, etc. - should have a good idea about how the machine flies and what the pilot is doing, but it must be somebody else. Too often, particularly flying over in rugged terrain, the pilot gets distracted wathcing what the observer should be watching
and then hits a hill, stalls or something like that.
- The pilot, the observer, and all the associated gear must be properly secured at all times, but particularly whenever a door or window is opened. Nobody should unfasten his seat belt or harness in order to move around better because a little turbulence, a violent manoeuver, etc. may toss gear and people out of the cockpit.
- It is obvious that aircraft performing dangerous jobs should carry some sort of survival gear and pilots flying shuch missions must fill a flight plane before each time they go out in order to be able to count on search and rescue services if the need arises.
- If the job involves the use of dangerous equipment, like guns, security measures should be enforced by the numbers. Never move around inside the cockpit with - say - a loaded and unlocked rifle, never point it at the flying crew or vital parts of the plane, and be very careful, whenever aiming or pointing them outside, to do so in such a way as to avoid compromising the structural integrity of the aircraft in the event of an accidental shot or something like that.
- If possible, pilots and observers should know well each other and understand what they are doing.
- While the pilot should indeed listen to the observer and follow his requests once they are flying over the area of interest, it must be rememebered that it is indeed, the pilot who is in command of the plane and this status remains so during the whole flight, no matter what. Even if the observer is the owner of the aircraft it is the pilot who is in charge and the needs of the job may not compromise the security of the flight.
- Minimum tolerances should be respected: Visibility, altitude and manoeuvering space.
There will be variants in safety rules depending on each specifi case, but these suggestions cover, broadly speaking, most of the requirements related to reconnaisance work.

Update of Art project work
This is an update of my digital art so far. I am creating digital art work for the Company Dance Vibez as one of my University projects. The Company is looking for something fun and unique. All the pieces have been created in Photoshop using various different techniques. Still undecided as to what style I am going in, I have been following various Tutorials to come up with new ideas.

It was a quiet sunday on the island, and I was cruising my giant nature gardens of landscapes, beaches, mountains, hills and fields of vibrant orange/rust colored soils, with intense blue skies -as mostly on Ibiza.
Cruising alone in my english friend's black lowered GTI, with all black-tainted windows, looking really getto to the outside, while on in the inside, my reality was just a mirrored (english) version of a car. But yes definately also feeling that one does sit awfully low in that car /for a VW Golf GTI.
While in my own nature-high bubble, I started feeling wanting a friend with me at my side. Next the lonelyness feeling was the shimmering milkyway in my universe, but all in my attention, as if I had noticed it for the first time. Driving the rollercoaster shaped curvy fun-feeling road between San Miguel and the Bennirras road, my phone rang, and it was some american girl expecting Yaniv (my ex) to pick up the phone!?
Yaniv was my charming, seemingly sweet, knowing how to be gentle and romantic, but manipulative, childish, spoiled, selfish and selfabsorbed thief and liar of an ex-boyfriend, who I was trying to maintain a worldfamily friendship with because I still believed he wasn't a bad person. BUT it turned out he was way worse than I wass able to imagine. …and therefore glad I ended the coupling with him after about only a months time.
And while I had been staying at his appartment for two weeks, with my best friends boyfriend looking for our new house (to live in with my at the te best friend Dobi and her boyfriend) I had allowed Yaniv to call this american girl, who he had the cooles sex-experience story-to-tell with; having sex for hours on mdma, during which they eventually started a real conversation, while still continuing having sex. …yeah whatever man! Absolutely uninteresting stuff to me.
It was impossible to stop him from always giving me reports of all his fling stories, which seemed to be so many!, now that he was so entertainingly fun and outgoing on mdma all the time, which he started taking after our couple-breakup. I'd tell him ,,pls stop telling me the details, it makes me feel disgusted with you, not jealous. But that couldn't stop his "pride and joy" stories, he would even call me up when I was away for weeks with my show-dancing work, just bursting with joy like a kid, who just had to tell me every damn story. It felt as if he had to proove his worth as a man to me. Doing it in a way which just says the exact opposite, to any woman of an even just somewhat sane healthy breed. Only some prehistoric breed of minds could produce a woman into our pressent day, who would fall for something so macho, for posing an alpha trait. Hello!?
So after some bit of a confusing moment I realize who this american girl on the phone was, and then I explained it to her ~what just happened to us right there.
She was hoping he could pick her up and take her to sundaydrumming on Benirras beach, because she was still waiting to get the first available rented car. So I picked her up. At the first look of her she felt familiar, like seeing a relative or so.
We drove to the beach, where there was loud sunday-drumming so we hadn't spoken much yet. She was going around like flowerchild in the 70's, independently surfing the party/the crowd sort of thing, and started to dance like an african.
We arrived exactly in time for the last half sunset hour with which the dark came, as if immediately, then gradually the evening turned to night, and as we drove home she asked me for my dirth date time etc., to look up some chart of mine, which she would then explain to me for brunch the following next day.
All what she then was telling me about me at that brunch, was absolutely but so-was impossible for her to have even a notion of at that time in our relationship so fresh and hardly begun. But she told me so much, and all of it fit me, even things I never verbalized myself, and I was feeling as if she had looked inside me all night like only a witch could do, and was now telling me, including even why I am the way I am, on top of it all. It was as if I was not only naked, but see through as well.
The system is not a Horoscope or Zodiac, rather it is a combination of that of the western world, and the chinese, and the e-ching and more.
It explains things about why a person functions so and so, why they tend to be or do or react as such amd such, and so much more.
When you get to understand Human Design a bit, and you look up for example a friend as well, then it shows different effects you have on each other, what extra traits you awaken/connect together, and many more things.
Here is my H.D. body chart, which does look pretty see through. And I am a Manifesting Generator who is emotional, and has the full channel of making music. …and of course so much more.
And here is an introduction to the H.D. by the Canadian man who discovered it and is the messenger of this incredible system. His name was Ra Uru Hu.

Warning: Avengers: Infinity War Spoilers
Many Marvel fans are still in firm denial about certain catastrophic events in Avengers: Infinity War; unable to believe so many of their favourite heroes have been lost to the forces of evil.
There's a heck of a lot of fictional grief to work through and the Marvel Cinematic Universe will never be quite the same again.
All great things must come to an end, but for many, there's just been too many endings to take. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust and all that (cries hysterically).
Well it seems one actor is just as emotional as his traumatised fans following his character's demise…
Now, it's fair to say Idris Elba hasn't always had a lot of love for his character, Asgardian gatekeeper, Heimdall, and at times, has even appeared to resent his time spent in the Marvel Universe.
Speaking with The Telegraph back in 2014, the 45-year-old actor described working on Marvel films as being 'torture:'
I'd just done eight months in South Africa [filming 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom']. I came to England and the day I came back I had to do reshoots on Thor 2.
And in the actual scene my hair was different, my…[sighs]. I was like, 'This is torture, man. I don't want to do this.' My agent said: 'You have to, it's part of the deal.'
I'm actually falling down from a spaceship, so they had to put me in harness in this green-screen studio. And in between takes I was stuck there, fake hair stuck on to my head with glue, this f-cking helmet, while they reset.
And I'm thinking: '24 hours ago, I was Mandela'…I was literally walking in this man's boots. [Within] six months, the crew, we were all so in love with this film we had made. I was Mandela, practically.
Then there I was, in this stupid harness, with this wig and this sword and these contact lenses. It ripped my heart out.
However, fast forward to 2017, and Elba admitted to Entertainment Weekly how he wished he'd been given a bigger role to play in the 'Marvel family:'
I wish I was more present in the Marvel family. I like what I have, but I also wish that I had a bigger character in the Marvel universe.
It's been great, but I kinda think I need a bit more. I want to be a superhero. I like the idea of that.
Nowadays, it seems Elba has real affection for the all-seeing Heimdall and is sad to be putting those cool contact lenses back in the bathroom cupboard.
Elba tweeted a pic of the honourable warrior, along with the sniffle-inducing caption:
#SpoilerAlert Gonna miss my guy…Heimdall…

His gutted fans rushed to show encouragement, raising a tearful toast to The Watcher of Worlds.
One grateful person said:
You were awesome…I love your performances…thank you.
Another applauded:
You were fantastic in that role, as is the case with basically everything I've seen you in. Keep it up, my dude!
I was gutted!! ? Anyway I think Thanos will reverse time and you and Loki will be back. I can't handle a world without you ?? x

Olney Assisted Living - Memory Care by Design/
Earlier this month I was able to tour Olney Assisted Living with Rhonda Thomas, their Marketing and Family Relations Director. Rhonda was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and would be a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about Olney Assisted Living.
Olney Assisted Living is an all-memory-care community. Its Executive Director is a Certified Dementia Practitioner. It has 64 beds in total. The Community is divided into four houses, with 16 residents each. Each house has its own dining area and lounge. There is 24-hour nursing care, and programming throughout the day to keep residents active and engaged.
Olney Assisted Living is somewhat unusual in that 60% of its residents are male, and there are quite a few residents there with early onset dementia. They have great, secured outdoor space to make sure the residents are getting the exercise and fresh air that they want and need. There is a walking path, and even an outdoor putting green.
Olney Assisted Living is a fairly new community—it's only been open for a couple of years. So the building and facilities are in great shape. It's a leasing community, meaning you don't have to buy anything to live there. You just pay an initial community fee (currently around $4500) and then pay monthly for your apartment and care. There is also a respite stay program, where you can have a loved one stay there for two weeks to a month.
Many thanks to Rhonda for taking the time to meet with me and show me around the community!

TORONTO (Reuters) - A British Airways (BA) flight from San Francisco to London was diverted to Vancouver after members of the cabin crew became unwell, the airline said on Tuesday (Oct 25).
BA spokesman Michele Kropf said that 25 crew members were admitted to local hospitals as a precaution but had now been discharged. She said no customers were taken to hospital. Ms Kropf said the crew had not been treated for smoke inhalation as reported earlier by CBC News.
BA did not comment on the cause of the problem. "The flight from San Francisco diverted to Vancouver after members of the cabin crew became unwell. The cabin crew were checked as a precaution at local hospitals before being discharged," BA said in an e-mailed statement.
The airline said in a statement that its Vancouver staff had arranged hotel accommodation for affected customers and will book them on alternative flights as soon as possible.
The diverted flight landed in Vancouver on Monday at around 11.30pm local time, said Vancouver Airport spokesman Chris Devauld, who referred questions about additional details to the airline.
"The aircraft landed safely and British Airways is now working with passengers," he said.

Dealing with an Animal Medical Emergency
A medical emergency is scary, but the truth is most pet families are bound to face at least one such crisis. When trouble strikes, seeing an emergency vet as soon as possible could be critical for your pet's well-being.
The best way to deal with an animal medical emergency is to know what you will do, who you will call, and where you will go, before an urgent need arises. Find out your veterinarian's emergency care protocols and locate the nearest emergency vet to your home. Know how to contact your veterinarian in an Emergency – in our case the phone number for the Emergency Messaging System is (214) 439-7233. If an emergency does happen, act quickly but calmly. If you are anxious, your pet will be, too. At the emergency animal clinic, the staff will triage your pet's case and ensure he or she gets the right care at the right time.
Chastain Veterinary Medical Group offers emergency vet care in Dallas and the McKinney / Frisco areas during regular business hours and we share emergency care affiliations with several emergency-only animal clinics in the area. To speak to us about this or to schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians, please phone Preston Road Animal Hospital in north Dallas at (972) 239-1309 or phone Meadow Brook Animal Hospital in the McKinney/Frisco area at (972) 529-5033.
What to Expect When Your Pet Needs Surgery
Pet parents never want to think about their beloved animal undergoing surgery, but sometimes it is necessary to treat an illness or injury. At every turn, your veterinarian and the staff at the pet hospital will be available to explain the process for you and address your concerns. If your pet is scheduled for surgery, here is a look at what you can expect.
Pre-Operative Prep
Before your pet undergoes his or her procedure, your veterinarian will take every possible precaution before surgery to ensure that your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and recovery. This will typically include a physical exam, blood work, and ECG screenings. These tests help your veterinarian make the right decisions about the type of anesthesia to use and which medications may be necessary before and after surgery. If the surgery is a planned procedure and not one that is the result of an emergency, be sure to follow all pre-op instructions and to bring your pet in for appointments and screenings as necessary to avoid delays in the surgery. For emergencies, these pre-op tests will be performed immediately before surgery.
Surgical Procedure
During surgery, your pet will receive the type of anesthetics that the veterinarian has determined are appropriate for him or her. The procedure itself will, of course, vary depending on the problem that is being treated. Your veterinarian will explain what the procedure will entail and how long you can expect your pet to be in surgery.
Post-Operative Recovery
After surgery, your pet will recover in a specialized area of the pet hospital while being closely monitored by veterinary nurses as he or she recovers from the anesthesia. He or she will also receive pain medication as needed. When it's time for your pet to go home, you'll receive medication and home care instructions. You may also make a time for a return visit for a checkup.
Chastain Veterinary Medical Group understands how overwhelming pet surgery can be, and we strive to give every pet family the best possible experience. When your pet needs surgery, schedule a consultation with one of our veterinarians in Dallas or McKinney. Call Preston Road Animal Hospital in north Dallas at (972) 239-1309 or call Meadow Brook Animal Hospital in the McKinney/Frisco area at (972) 529-5033.
Spotlight on X-Ray Services
If your pet is injured, he won't be able to tell you exactly what's wrong. This is why it's crucial to see your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital if your pet displays signs of pain or injury. A veterinarian can use advanced medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays or ultrasound, to diagnose and treat your pet.
A top-notch animal hospital will have state of the art digital X-ray equipment that will help your veterinarian determine precisely what is ailing your pet. Digital X-ray processing provides your veterinarian with more detailed images, and thus more accurate diagnoses. For a fast, highly precise diagnosis of your pet's injury, look for an animal hospital that uses digital X-ray services.
At the Chastain Veterinary Medical Group, we know that when your pet is sick or injured, you want answers immediately. Our highly trained and experienced veterinarians in Dallas utilize advanced medical imaging technology, such as digital X-rays and ultrasounds, to provide a quick, accurate diagnosis for your beloved pet. For more information about our emergency vet care and diagnostic tools, call us today at (972) 239-1309 (Dallas) or (972) 529-5033 (McKinney/Frisco).

Run, Sing and Giggle with Agape and her Orthoses
Anna's voice was full of joy as we spoke about her daughter Agape at her recent follow-up consultation. That could have had something to do with the fact that Agape was singing in the background throughout most of our chat together.
The first time I met Agape was when I worked at the front desk of the Boundless clinic. I remember a young girl with a big personality, great smile and short childish pigtails to match. Since then, nothing seems to have changed much. Anna describes Agape as a child who is full of life—joyful, compassionate and reflective.
"She doesn't hold back and wants to engage with the world around her, "the proud mother told me. "Once Agape developed a bad fever and had to be rushed to the ER. With bold strides, she walked up to the reception desk stating 'My name is Agape, my doctor works here and is really handsome, I have allergies to peanut butter, and yes I have Down syndrome.'"
Mosaocism (mosaic) Down Syndrome
Agape was diagnosed with a rare form of Down Syndrome called Mosaocism (mosaic) Down Syndrome before birth. As a teacher who has worked with children with special needs, Anna was not shocked when she received the diagnosis. She did,however, have lots to learn in her new role as mother, teacher, doctor and nurse to a young child coping with the condition.
The Orthotic Difference
Like many children with Down syndrome Agape has low muscle tone and flat feet and was referred for an Orthotic assessment. Before Agape's third birthday she would receive her first pair of short braces from Boundless Biomechanical Bracing (we call these supramalleolar orthoses, SMO for short).
"They made an instant difference" says Anna. Whereas before, Apage would usually walk with her legs wide apart, often falling as a result, she now walks with confidence. If the sport requires it, she even runs. Now age seven, Agape still likes wearing her orthoses and has an understanding of why they are important.
Boundless Approach
Apage and her parents with Agape's Orthotist Gordon Ruder
Agape's flat feet presentation would be described as a 'pes planus' presentation. In her case this flat foot position is due to low muscle tone (known as 'hypotonia'). Hypotonia is frequently observed in individuals with Down Syndrome.
Our decision of when to treat for paediatric flat foot is based on an assessment of the foot presentation and the child's symptoms. Paediatric patients may experience symptoms of: pain in feet, knees or back, difficulty keeping up with peers, balance concerns and the desire to be carried.
Children naturally have a fat pad present in the arch of the foot which may exaggerate the appearance of a flat foot. This fat pad helps to protects the boney structures of the foot in early standing. Flat feet caused by abnormal muscles and ligaments can results in a more severe deformity and worsening symptoms. The decision to treat for paediatric flat foot is not often black & white. Our clinicians use evidence based practice to inform our decision of when to treat. This includes clinical reasoning, best evidence and the perspectives of the patient and family.
Successful orthotic management can lead to
Pain reduction
Increased endurance
Decreased fatigue
Change in activity levels
Improvements to balance
Deformity avoidance

Getting Your Hopes Up
Spiritual Growth
Spiritual Growth
Hey, Girl… It's time to get your hopes up.
High, high, high.
As high as the heavens are above the earth.
I see you, girl. That shadow on your face that speaks of ruined dreams and crushed expectations. I feel as though I can almost read your thoughts as you avert your eyes, and they tell a story that is strangely yet expectedly similar to my own.
Because you did get your hopes up…so so so so many times and just as many times, they were cruelly devastated.
Oh, you were a wild, crazy dreamer…if there ever was one. But then life happened. Evil happened. Disappointing people happened. The enemy of your soul happened. And in the wake of it all, you happened to find your hope in ruins. Unrecognizable amidst your shattered dreams.
And so you quit.
And cynicism began to entwine its deadly tentacles around your bruised soul.
You buried your hope. Deep, deep down inside the part in your heart you felt was dying, you covered it up with every crushed expectation and deflated dream. And you left it there to die.
And somewhere, in-between the hoping and the wrecking and the burying, you realized you'd forgotten how to dream.
But you know what? Hope has a way of not staying dead, of getting up, and walking out of the graves we achingly create.
Not in a circumstance or an outcome, because hope is not an outcome.
Hope is a Person.
Girl, if all your hope is in Hope Himself, you can never get your hopes too high.
Because hope is not wishful thinking, a strong-arming of your emotions to disregard the reality of your circumstances and attempt to live inside a fantasy world of your own creation. No, hope is a confident expectation. It is a joy-filled watching for the good that you are convinced is coming.
Hope sings its loudest songs when the dark voices are the most deafening. It's choicest melodies have been composed in the inky blackness of the darkest night.
Real, live hope is defiant. The pain and devastation it faces only causes it to set its jaw more squarely, to glare its eye more obstinately, and to press on even more aggressively.
Hope is audacious. It doesn't stick to the script and it plays by no rule. In fact, by most standards, hope is completely impractical. Setbacks are cause for excitement because hope knows that the best stories always have unexpected twists. Hope laughs in the face of impossibility and declares with a twinkle in its eye that it shall be done.
Hope believes against itself.
Hope is full of grit. It is strength and darn-set determination. It caused a man sitting in the ash heap that was his life to cry out through tears of resolve, "Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him." (Job 13:15)
Hope is induced with the supernatural strength of Heaven.
Maybe the wildest thing about hope is that it seems to thrive in the most hopeless places.
Just when you thought there was no way hope could be anywhere near the vicinity, there it is…rising above, looking oh so out of place, standing tall and brave in the midst of the barren, suffocating wilderness.
Because hope is evergreen. It flourishes completely independent of outward circumstances.
Because remember, girl, hope is really a Person.
And so ultimately, hope is Christ in you. His overcoming Life breathing into your soul and blowing straight through your most dead and hopeless places.
Oh yes, it's time you got your hopes up.
Because your Hope has been lifted up and enthroned in the highest Place at the right hand of your God, the Father of fathers, where He sits steadfast and confident in who He is.
Do you see Him there?
Can you feel Him here?
Can you feel Him breathing a fresh, fiery wind of faith into your being, incinerating every doubt, lie, and what-if that's been gnawing through your aching heart?
It's Hope Himself filling you, pouring Life into every crevice of your soul, teaching you to dream with Him again.
Oh, He's lifting your hope to the level of His character.
Girl, He really is that good.
He really is that faithful.
He really is that near.
So sweet girl…get your hopes up.

Camp Jefferson is a 5500 sq.ft renovation to an existing warehouse space on Jefferson Ave. in Toronto's Liberty Village. Designed to house a creative agency, the space is comprised of two areas of activity; the HUB and the HIVE. A central faceted armature becomes mission control for presentations and brainstorming.
A budget conscious renovation, Camp Jefferson is a great example of 'design where it matters'. Focusing the construction on a central folding wall and two excellent boardrooms, the rest of the space is clean and flexible, with a lot of opportunity for growth, events and reconfiguration.

In part one of this story I drilled 17 holes in a favourite board of mine and filled them with paint brush handles. This was not some art installation, but rather the start of a very effective little repair dodge I've developed to reattach a deck to the internal frame. This separation of deck and frame is a reminder that you must release the presure inside the board using the vent screw when the board is out of the water.
Anyway, back to the repair. I squeeze the deck back down on to frame and then epoxy the brush handles to the bottom and the deck. I use a little cloth to help strengthen the deck joint. but from here on it's now a cosmetic exercise. What I've learned is that hiding the repair is futile, the eye will just find it every time. No, the way forward is to turn it into a feature so it looks like part of the original design. So I'm careful to lay out the initial holes ain a pattern and then I burn the tops of the sawn off and sanded brush handles to make very obvious dark circles. Finally I re-epoxy and Taupo gloss the deck as required using all the associated grades of sandpaper and rubbing compound.
The finished repair always looks better than I anticipate, that's one of the few advantages of being a "Glass half empty" shaper! Trust me, I'm a shaper (Part III) could be a video of me surfing dear old "Numbers" again post repair. However followers of this blog have seen footage of my surfing so they will know that at best it's going to be a comedy and possibly even a tragedy!

DYK on this day in MoorStory365 that
Ruth Nita Barrow was born on November 15, 1916. She was a Jamaican nurse, politician, and administrator. She was also the sister of Errol Barrow, first Prime Minister of Barbados.
She was born in Barbados at Nesfield, St. Lucy, where she trained as a nurse, midwife, and health care administrator, holding a variety of nursing, public health and public administration jobs in Barbados and Jamaica in the 1940s and 1950s.
Barrow made her contributions in several arenas, but her most prominent contributions were in nursing education and with the YWCA. She worked on the professional organization of nurses and the establishment of quality nursing education.
Her accomplishments in all the areas in which she chose to work is phenomenal. One has only to look at a few of the highlights of her career. She was the first World Health Organization (WHO)Nurse from the Caribbean, the first president of the Jamaica Nurses Association, the first Black Caribbean woman president of the World-Wide YWCA in 1975.
She was the convener of the 1985 nongovernmental organization (NGO) forum held in Nairobi, Kenya; Barbados' prominent representative to the United Nations.
The opportunities for training were taken up as they came and Nita Barrow moved from nurse to nursing instructor at the School of Public Health in Jamaica to consultant for the World Health Organization. She was acclaimed all over the world for her skill, graciousness, and talent in convening the Decade of Women non-governmental forum in Nairobi in 1985.
There were over 1,300 workshops and thousands of women from the world over. Many of these women were on opposite sides of the political fence and Nita Barrow and her staff ensured the smooth running of this potentially volatile event.
In 1986, she was appointed Barbados' permanent representative to the United Nations. She has received two honorary doctorates, one from MacMaster University in Canada and one from the University of the West Indies. Barrow was the Governor-general of Barbados from June 1990 to her death on December 19, 1995.

I have posted on Social Media that you can control most pests with stuff you have at home rather than pesticides. I will elaborate a little more on each one, so you can try them out.
For cockroaches, put out some pie pans full of beer around your house where cockroaches hang out. They will go in the pans and get drunk and drown and they don't check IDs.
For earwigs, roll up a damp newspaper and put it in your yard at night. The earwigs will go in the paper and hide and you can dispose of them and the newspaper the next day.
For silverfish, fill some baby food jars with flour about half way up. Wrap the bottles with duct or masking tape so the silverfish can crawl up the jar and jump in the flour. Then dump them outside the next day.
For fruit flies you can put out several glasses filled with apple cider vinegar. The flies will go into the glasses and drown.
For fungus gnats, dry out the plant soil almost to the point the plants start wilting. Then put some aquarium gravel on the soil to prevent fungus gnats from laying anymore eggs in the soil. About an half inch of aquarium gravel should be enough.
Peppermint essential oil sprayed where ants, mice or spiders can come in the house will repel them and keep them outside.
For carpet beetles, put a dirty sock filled with cheese near the area where they are living. The larvae will be attracted to the cheesy sock and you can dispose of them.
There are many other so-called pests that can be easily controlled without using pesticides or an exterminator. Join my Bug Club and I will help you with this forever. When someone joins my Bug Club, I will help them to the best of my ability to solve any pest problems they have without using toxic pesticides. If you join, I will help you with any pest problems you have forever. I will send you a copy, via email, of my handbook, "Earth Friendly Pest Management for your Home and Garden and for Commercial Establishments." If you have any pest or pesticide issues, I will help you to the best of my ability. This includes any pest problems at home, at work or anywhere and this offer is open to anyone in the world. Also, I will help anyone in your immediate family. If your parents, children, brothers or sisters have pest problems, I will help them also, wherever they live. All you would need to do is give them my contact info. If you want to join, the cost is $25 for a lifetime membership. You can pay through my PayPal account at paypal.me/askthebugman on this website, or you can send a check to me at 7595 Faith Rd. Las Cruces, NM 88012. Be sure to include your email address so I can send you the booklet. If you send a check, please make it out to me, Richard Fagerlund. As mentioned, membership is forever, or at least as long as I am on the planet.
As I said, I will help anyone in the world to the best of my ability. I realize there are different pests around the world, but many of them are found worldwide. Most ants in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America can be treated using the same methods used in the US. Of course there are exceptions, but they can be managed. If you join from anywhere outside of the US, please use the Paypal account to join. We have to try to reduce, and hopefully, eliminate, the use of pesticides everywhere on the planet. Pesticides are weapons of mass destruction and cause many health issues (read the IBBS blogs) and destroys the ecosystem.

Definition / general
- Gene symbol PDCD1LG1 stands for Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PDCD1, or PD1) Ligand 1
- The common term PDL1 stands for Programmed Death Ligand 1
- It is a member of the B7 family of membrane bound, cell surface ligands
- Mouse PDL1 is 70% identical to human PDL1
- The primary receptor for PDL1 is PD1
- PDL2, a homolog of PDL1, also binds to PD1
- PDL1 is upregulated in monocytes and other cell types by treatment with interferon gamma (IFN7γ)
- PDL1 protein is expressed in most human cancers but not in most normal tissues (Nat Med 2002;8:793)
- Alternative names are PDCD1 Ligand 1, PDCD1L1, CD274 or B7H1 (OMIM - PCD1)
- The normal function of the PDL1-PD1 interaction is to protect the host from autoreactive T cells
- The interaction between PDL1 on presenting cells and PD1 on T cells inhibits T cell activation and cytotoxic T lymphocyte mediated lysis (Nat Med 2002;8:793, Nat Med 1999;5:1365)
- Binding of PDL1 to PD1 also suppresses T cell migration, suppresses proliferation and secretion of cytotoxic mediators, and restricts tumor cell killing
Clinical features
- PDL1 expression is detected in most human cancers, including bladder, breast, cervical, esophageal, gastric, kidney, lung, ovary and pancreatic cancers
- High expression of PDL1 is associated with reduced numbers of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and poor prognosis (Nat Rev Immunol 2008;8:467), although the reverse has also been noted (Histopathology 2015 Nov 20 [Epub ahead of print])
Uses by pathologists
- Pembrolizumab and nivolumab are monoclonal antibodies which block the interaction between PDL1 and PD1, and have received FDA approval for specific indications (see below)
- Pembrolizumab is approved for first line treatment of advanced melanoma
- Also for second or third line treatment of non small cell lung cancer, but specimens must test positive for PDL1 using a companion FDA approved diagnostic IHC test (DAKO PDL1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx)
- The recommended cutoff for positive staining using the 22C3 antibody is >50% at any intensity
- The suggested cutoff for positive staining using the 28-8 antibody is > 1% at any intensity
Microscopic (histologic) images
Positive staining - normal
- Lung macrophages, salivary gland ducts (subsets of cells)
- Placenta, spleen (diffuse), tonsil (diffuse)
Positive staining - disease
- Carcinomas of colorectum, endometrium, liver, lung, ovary, stomach, thyroid
- Melanoma
Negative staining
- Bile duct cells and alveolar cells, hepatocytes, squamous epithelium,
