How Much Money Could Alabama Earn By Legalizing, Taxing, and Regulating Marijuana?
How much money could Alabama stand to realize if it Legalized, Taxed, and Regulated (LTR) cannabis for Adult Recreational Use (ARU), and Medical Use (MMJ)?
In order to make a reasonably accurate estimate, we need certain pieces of information from reliably accurate sources, such as:
1.) How many people would purchase it?
2.) How much tax would be placed upon it?
3.) How frequently would they purchase?
There are other questions, but let's start by answering those three.
First, let's determine how many people consume marijuana in the state – adults, of course.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), is an annual survey which first began in 1971 and is conducted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It's conducted under the auspices of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality. Read the rest of this entry »

Last week I received an email from Nick Makansi of California, US-based Aggregage. The name combines "aggregate" and "engage", which is what the company's product does – it "creates online communities by aggregating the most engaging content from the best sources around a specific business segment."
Their latest community – Professional Constructor Central – was launched very recently and has been created in partnership with the American Institute of Constructors, and aims to bring together the best content for professional constructors, with visitors able to view by daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly editions, or sort by keywords and content categories. I had a quick look and was immediately encouraged to see that a familiar name among US construction technology bloggers, Carol Hagen, was already a contributor.
Professional Constructor Central is unashamedly US-focused, but as I write increasingly about US-based firms and other firms targeting the US market on my Extranet Evolution tech blog, I suggested it might be a useful addition to the community, and it is now a featured blog. Perhaps other bloggers who want to get exposure in the US might consider putting themselves forward.
I passed details of Professional Constructor Central to two other UK-based bloggers in the construction marketing sector and SEO expert Pritesh Patel immediately shot back: "there are absolutely no links pointing to this site which means… no one is talking about it. Low value."
I checked (Pritesh was right, of course), and challenged Nick on this. He responded: "The site's just launched (it launched this past Monday, the 8th), so over time backlinks will start to appear."
To foster backlinks, the platform encourages contributors to add a button to their blog, which I've done, and I will be monitoring to see what impact (if any) Professional Constructor Central has on traffic to my blog.

What are Brand Guidelines?
On most events, even before your Brand is physically present in the market as an item or an administration, it enters the social space. Here, it is isolated; you are not there to clarify what it remains for, what is your organization's vision, what are the qualities it embraces or whom it is conversing with.
The solitary crusader, your Brand, needs to remain on its feet and be seen and seen; in this manner, to get the consideration of your shoppers it needs to look and carry on reliably for it to be perceived at whatever point it is seen.
An arrangement of rules that characterize and in this way guarantee consistency of look, written work style, and tone, and the general identity of your image in a succinct way are known as Brand Guidelines, Brand Manual or a Style Book.
What does this manual contain?
History, Attributes and Values
The principal part of the Brand Manual is devoted to a review of your Brand's history. It talks about how and why your Brand appeared. It likewise represents your Brand and distributes ascribes to it, e.g., Youthful, Vibrant, Serious, and so on. Aside from this, it abridges the key estimations of your Brand, for example, Honesty, Patience, Perseverance, and so forth.
Why this?
A past filled with your Brand, its main goal, vision and key esteems helps the peruser, and this readership is tremendous and shifted, comprehend your image in a logical way. In this manner, rather than indiscriminately taking after text style and shading rules, the peruser; who could likewise be executing errands in light of the Manual, comprehends the reason for why he is doing a specific thing. The Brand Manual adjusts the vision of the peruser to the real identity of the Brand; this aides in keeping a faction between observation administration and execution.
Look and Feel
The catchphrase here is: consistency; both, the Look and the Feel of your Brand ought to stay reliable in space and time.

BOSTON- Look for the first limited commercial sales of residential fuel cells in 2006 in Europe, a fuel cell manufacturer told members of the Radiant Panel Association meetingin October here.
Tucker Ruberti of IdaTech Inc. said that's his firm is working on large fuel cells for a Marriott hotel in San Diego and a dormitory at Portland State College in Oregon, with both jobs done at the behest of and in participation with the local utilities and the U.S. Department of Energy.
IdaTech is a unit of IdaCorp that's owns Idaho Power. It was founded in 1996 as Northwest Power Systems and now has 80 employees. Ruberti noted that's IdaTech is looking for partners with which it can develop commercial fuel cells for the North American market.
IdaTech has experience in the distributed power and fuel cell market.
In simplistic terms, a fuel cell is an electrochemical device that's takes hydrogen atoms and forces the proton through a membrane. The electron is stripped off and redirected to supply a flow of electricity. Forcing the proton through the membrane creates heat, requiring a liquid cooling system that's can use the heat for space heating or another thermal application.
A fuel cell requires a number of components to make all this happen. A fuel cell can produce hydrogen from any hydrocarbon. A fuel processor module separates the hydrogen and cleans up contaminates. An electric reformer converts the DC power that's comes off the fuel cell stack into usable electricity. A thermal management module handles the liquid cooling to remove the heat coming off the fuel cell stack. A control and safety module, hooked into a broadband connection to the entity in charge of the fuel cell, often an electric utility, monitors the fuel cell operation.
DOE is the main sponsor of the fuel cells jobs in San Diego and Portland, Ruberti noted. The companys first designs are due in January 2005. IdaTech plans to build 50kW systems to test in hotels. DOE wants 71% combined efficiency, Ruberti said, but he believes the firm can get 85% 50% thermal efficiency and 35% electrical efficiency.
In Europe, RWE, the fourth largest European utility, has partnered with Bosch Buderus to develop a residential heat and power system. As conceived, the fuel cell system will deliver 4.6kW of electricity and 6kW of thermal energy. The thermal energy will be used to preheat boiler water and the electricity will be fed back into RWE's grid. The system is designed to serve a block of four apartments. The system is thermally driven with the space heat being the major objective. The system would be remotely monitored.
The goals are to create fuel cells with a 10-year life with major service at five years and at a cost of $2,000/kW for a residential system.
The Buderus model is scheduled for limited commercial sales — hundreds of units — by 2006.
CONTRACTOR hydronics columnist Mark Eatherton told Ruberti that's his main concern is the excess thermal energy that's has to be dissipated because most American homes would not have a large enough load in summertime.
Ruberti said that's IdaTech is looking for partners in the North American market because the firm doesn't have answers to basic questions such as how large the systems should be. The systems are also extremely expensive, $50,000 to $100,000, because they're handmade by a group of engineers in IdaTech's facility in Oregon.

I was reading a letter in a local newspaper a while ago about the Brit's appalling ability to deal with summer fashion, whether it's Hawiian shirt or Speedos barely containing anything other than the family jewels. And I'm not keen, either, on seeing a pair calf-length cotton-mix showing below the straps of sandals, but, you see, in this tasty little fashion style we Brits are just dedicated followers of fashion.
The letter ended by asking, in a rhetorical way, if anyone in the history of fashion has ever pulled off the sandal sock combo. Yes, they have, although it was more through necessity than any thought of what was a la mode at the time. And who's to blame?…..Those terrible fashion fops, the Italians. Or at least in the days when they were known as Romans. Apparently the northern winters were too severe for their poor southern tootsies, so they wore socks with their open-toed hobnailed sandals. We know this partly because of a tablet found at Vindolanda on the Roman wall, which has a message, presumably from some mum or wife, far away in the sun, saying, "I have sent you … pairs of socks from Sattua, two pairs of sandals and two pairs of underpants"
What would we do without the ladies?

The hot temperatures remained us that we are definitely in summer!! Even though the latest days here in Los Angeles has been more a mix of cloudy and almost raining mornings and a very sunny and hot afternoons, but over all it is summer indeed, I was walking the other day in the neighborhood, and went by the park and what I think is the neighborhood swimming pool, then is when you get it, it is summer, yes it's obvious, but also is the time to actually do and enjoy outside activities!!
Well I think the 4th of July is a classic day, I meant a historical day for this country, but also is a must barbeque or outdoor activity day, either by enjoying some time in the backyards, parks or anywhere during the day and watching the fireworks at night, so I think it was kind of a kick off party to start the outside activities… I know most of the people are already doing summer things ,but this could be some options for the ones that as me are getting into summer fun mode in a slowly way!! I am from a country when we do not have four seasons (we have only summer and winter and by winter means raining days, don't expect cold days… ) so it's a slow motion thing for me… I´ve been living in this real seasons weather since last year so I could say I'm getting kind of used to! Although I guess my body is more used to this hot weather than to the painful cold during winter!
I love fireworks I guess I have mentioned before during Christmas time, last year I spent the 4th of July in New York City and saw the show next to the Hudson river…it was great and I loved it, funny part I didn't have a camera with me to immortalize the moment. so I just have it all in my mind, but his year in LA was a different experience it was more like Christmas in my country, fireworks all over the place, I miss my home!!
So let's focus on positive things and activities to avoid the missing family part…what else to do or where to go during summer time?? Well let's see some options!
♥ Barbecues!! time to enjoy some sunshine and food.. excellent combination.. I know is not like I discovered it, everybody does BBQ's during this time, it's time to get some sun and to get together with friends, family is also a good time to meet new people too…. now that we are close to the world cup final that will be good day to get together watch some games and celebrate with a gathering next to the grill… just be careful to not burn your self!
♥ Beach time… missing home again… I think, us in tropical weather give this too much for granted specially in my country where most of the coast is close to any part or any city in the country so you have many options and you can go any time that you want even during winter season, so now that I've been away for more than a couple of months and been in real winter weather, to have the opportunity now to go to the beach is almost priceless haha…. so let's enjoy the sun and the ocean all for ourselves!! I do have a lot of respect for the ocean water so be careful and make sure everything is safe… we could also enjoy a tanning session during this time, but be very careful too… make sure you use appropiate skin protection believe me your face and skin will thank you later on in your older days … and also your health won't be on any type of risk, skin cancer is a serious illness and we can avoid it by taking the proper care!!!
♥ Camping!! this is something that I've had done like just one or two times in my life so this is something I would like to do one day I hope I could do it during this summer, I consider myself a city girl meaning I really need to be in the city jungle and have all near by… but time to time I really need some contact with mother nature hahaha… and now I really would love some time away to relax, extract myself from the stressful life in the cities and just have fun outside!!
♥ Lake or pool parties! Yes if you do not want to go to the beach for some reason, lakes and some inside house pools or Hotels pools are great options to stay cool and refresh yourself! I remember some years ago (17 actually… OMG I´m getting old…Jesus! ) I went to a beautiful park in San Francisco, CA, it had this incredible beautiful and relaxing lake I guess it was a built one, but it was one of the best days I spend in this lands. Of course the Pools parties are other alternative option, they are always fun, I just hope that all of them have the pee identifier lol, have you seen the grown up trailer? I want that , I have a feeling that when there are several people, you know, they may want to release or relax themselves more than necessary… I hope they won't do that.. euwww!!
♥ Last Summer in New York I used to enjoy so much just walk in the city, yes sometimes I will get into a store just to get some A/C, it was a need, but what I liked was to buy some junk food, sit in one of those outdoor benches or tables near a park or in the middle of some closed street (mostly the ones in the tourist zone like time square etc) and I enjoyed just been sitting there watching people and relax, most cities during this time have so many visitors from so many places around the world it's really entertaining, cheap and enjoyable option, remember low budgets constraint I need to find my options!!
♥ And last, but no least just by staying at home reading some book and be with A/C or a cooler device, having some drinks whichever you want will be for me like a great summer day!! One of the things that I like to do and I used to do it a lot with my sister, we had movie marathon days!! yes we watched movies almost all day, late morning up to late night until we feltl sleep watching them and we would have been eating cookies, sodas, candies and whatever we may feel too… so I like to do that, nowadays I have to do it alone, but still it's a great relaxation time for me, and I still enjoy it so much!!
Well I guess whichever option you want to do during this time would be great just try to do what you feel to and enjoy it as much as possible… take advantage because this may require road trips to get to the places, so that is an additional great adventure, I used to love road trip now, I don't enjoy them so much, but that is another not happy story.. I need to get over it.. I may share it some day until them I'll work on that!
Thanks for reading I really hope you all have a great summer time and you could have the most fun time possible!! We only have one life (I believe that..) so let's enjoy it, is needed, life could be so rough sometimes… that is good to have options to have some fun!!
Feel free to share some of your favorite summer activities, or whatever you may want to share!! thanks!
Pictures thanks to we♥ it, thumblr.com and mine!

Star Wars: Rise of the Empire
A single volume combining Star Wars: A New Dawn and Star Wars: Tarkin — as well as three original short stories!
In early 2015, I was informed that Random House was planning a "bind-up" combining the first two canon novels of 2014, my own New Dawn and James Luceno's Tarkin. The idea was to provide a convenient catch-up for new readers in advance of Star Wars: A Force Awakens — and by adding three short stories there would be some new material as well.
One of the short stories, "Mercy Mission" by Melissa Scott, would preface Tarkin and provide a Hera adventure; "The Levers of Power" by Jason Fry would finish off the volume and place Rae Sloane at the Battle of Endor. The latter would fuse the existing novels with the upcoming Star Wars: Aftermath, where Sloane was a main character. A third story was called for to knit Tarkin and A New Dawn together, and to also mention Everi Chalis, a character in Star Wars: Battleground; that opportunity went to me.
There's a full page here on the resultant story, "Bottleneck"; please visit that page for production notes and trivia about it.
This book is available from Amazon.

The creation of mystery in contemporary art captures my attention quicker than anything else. For this reason, I love Jorge Usan's work www.jorgeusan.com. What I also love about him is the fact that while his work appears intimidating, he's a friendly guy! Love that … see for yourself.
MICHAEL: Hey Jorge, I love your work. You've been working on a lot of projects with a staff of people. Are you in Beijing? What are you working on right now? What's inspiring you?
JORGE: I work in Beijing six months out of the year. It's where apart from doing some paintings, I develop special projects that require collaboration with engineers, artisans and musicians like Benoit Granier. Over the last six years in Beijing, I have established a close relationship with a small group of people who understand my line of work which greatly facilitates the development of multidisciplinary projects. I spend the rest of the year in Mexico where I spend the time preparing on a theoretical and technical level new, upcoming projects and in Europe where I usually show my work. Right now, I am in Nagoya, Japan working on a new piece based on ultrasound with the help of a small group of absolutely great people who are part of the technology department of Nagoya University. We are trying to create a prototype using ultrasound where we can transform "paint" a surface area without physically touching it, but that's another story that I want to be quiet for now! That's what keeps me inspired now; to be able to create a "membrane" where the magic happens without touching - "painting without paint." What keeps me inspired is always music playing - an important part of my work.
MICHAEL: Aren't you of Mexican descent? How does someone go from Mexico to Europe to Beijing to Nagoya? You get around! What has travel taught you?
JORGE: Well! I guess one thing leads to another. I was born in Zaragoza Spain and studied art in Barcelona and London, then when I finished the studies, I made a year trip around Asia. That's how I ended up renting a studio in Beijing eight years ago. My first trip to Mexico was for an exhibition at the Museum of the City of Queretaro and another in the Gallery Arcaute Monterrey in 2009. That was when I met my wife and I fell in love with the place. Right now, I'm in Nagoya because the project I'm working on requires the technology that these guys at Nagoya University are developing. I think one of the most wonderful things in life is traveling and meeting people of different cultures as well as to infuse other universes into your own art.
MICHAEL: Your paintings are very minimal, yet elegant. It's almost as if you want to speak using very few words and the work also seems to be rustic and somewhat raw. What are you trying to say with your paintings?
JORGE: Let me get a little philosophical on this one, because more than the desire to express something, my predominant desire is to unify the macro-universal with the micro-elemental and create through abstract forms and interactions, small universes that may be populated by the spectator.
That formal minimalism you mention is the inherent result of filtering reality through the fine sieve of ideas. The process for creating my paintings is very slow and meditated almost like a stratification process by applying layer upon layer of acrylic - layers covering the previous layers - with the passage of time, formed often of organic matter that use to apply to the background. Perhaps is this process which gives a raw look. My longing as an artist is to be able to conduct new ideas and open new roads through experimentation so that maybe someday someone will feel inspired by any of my works.
MICHAEL: Is this process for creating paintings the same as it is for working on installations or do you have to shift gears in your mind? Also, does your work ever come from a soulful or spiritual place?
JORGE: Yes, I would definitely agree with your description. I will go further to define that the mental process of creating an idea is the exact same as the act of creating a painting, the art installations or the special projects. It all starts with an idea that needs to be clarified and take shape over a long period of time. A great example can be found in my latest project that I am currently developing in Nagoya where even if the work methodology is very different, the act of creation remains very similar. It goes through periods of absolute solitude, close to states of meditation where all ideas take shape and gradually make sense. The process of creating innovative works is a multidisciplinary team effort that can only work through intuition; the work is the result of the complex experience of each team member. It is the work of a group of artists, technicians and thinkers coming from diverse disciplines that reach and poetically materialize from the original idea. During the creative process, many ideas come to mind. Some are going against each other. Creation is a time when we look at every option and make choices. All works come from the filtration of these ideas, where we will organize them to make sense. It is through a process of somehow spirituality that we can capture the essence of what we want to represent.
MICHAEL: You are a consummate artist. Do you come from an artistic family? How did you become an artist? What's your first memory of art?
JORGE: No member of my family has anything to do with art. I belong to a business family tradition, so it was not easy to make them understand my vocation as an artist. The first time I realized this vocation was when I was eleven years old and on my first visit to the hall occupied by the work of Antonio Tapies at the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. I remember that I was there for hours looking at those huge pictures like watching a newly discovered planet. At that time, I started to feel that reality was not enough and that was the main reason that led me to walk slowly and deeply into the world of art.
MICHAEL: What was the inspiration behind your film, Exalatitte? It's currently on the opening page of your website. What does that mean?
JORGE: "Exalatitte" is a "sculpture" that I made last year with Rui Yi Bo, an engineering professor at the Chingua University of Beijing and French composer Benoit Granier. Both are regular contributors to my multidisciplinary projects. "Exalatitte" is a piece in continuous transformation, where different forms appear and disappear in the presence of the viewer learning with each visitor. Through sensors, controllers, actuators and a laborious programming system, the sculpture assimilates not ever to repeat the same sequence of movements which in turn transform each musical theme composed by Benoit for this work. Besides the technical work, the piece has 12 carved wood appliques that give it that organic look that I always seek in my work. This piece is not easy to explain as happens usually with art and particularly with sculpture which involves movement and sound. That's why I made the video.
MICHAEL: What are you feeling when you're creating your works?
JORGE: I feel a desire to transform reality through a slow and thoughtful creative process where work itself guides you to take the next step. What I intend is that the observer of the work of art can be "transported" to another reality, see new ways and new forms interactions and be a fundamental part of its transformation.
MICHAEL: Well Jorge, You've transformed me through our conversation. Thanks. I love your work and keep going!

Acrostic Poem Using the Word: NEVER, by Denise
Nothing prepared me for knowing you
Every day since has been changed
Vindicated you showed me your wrath
Exacting a terrible cost
Ravaging my health with a cough
I have hashimotos, fibromylagia, adrenal insufficiency along with other numerous hormone deficiencies. Started treatment in October this year after moving to Australia from UK where they wouldn't treat me as my TSH wasn't high enough! Lost tons of hair, gained loads of weight (I used to be really thin to the point my doctor thought I had anorexia)and thought I was losing my mind in the meantime! Thanks to everyone on here for the support that you give. Wouldn't have got this far without this site!

Thank you
After reading your poem, Denise, I am so glad we ALL have access to an international site to bring us all together & expose those who are "Practicing" medicine on us w/o knowing the truths our bodies present ! We've been toyed with enough !
Wishing you all the best the holidays have to offer Down Under !
Totally agree Judanna, in the UK they are called GPs (general practioners)- jack of all trades masters of none yet they profess to know our bodies better than we do! And I agree with you about this site and Mary Shomon too who without the knowledge and support given I would still be losing hair and unable to do anything other than lie in bed every day. Holidays have been great so far hope yours have been the same. Dx

The sensational Carroll Anglo-American Trust and parallel Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust multi-billion dollar corporate identity theft offshore tax fraud bribery case which is encircling the HSBC Holdings Plc Chairman Mark Tucker has revealed that the Chicago Police Chief is understood to be "closely monitoring" this case of international importance.
Sources have confirmed that the explosive FBI Scotland Yard "cross-border" criminal "standard of proof" prosecution files contain a forensic evidential paper trail which surrounds the systematic criminal seizure and theft of major parts of the world renowned eclectic Carroll Art Collection.
Further sources have disclosed that a bewildering array of UK Police Authorities are seriously implicated in the fencing of stolen fine art goods on an industrial scale which involves the the Oxford University Carroll Chair of Irish History recovered artifacts of great public significance.
In a stunning twist it has emerged that the dossiers contain specimen exhibits that surround the fraudulent incorporation of dummy State of Delaware "registered" Carroll Anglo-American Corporation Trust conglomerate structures which effectively provided a diversionary corporate smokescreen for the embezzlement of a mind boggling two hundred and fifty million dollars of the Gerald Carroll's huge treasury investment holdings that were held at the Queen's bankers Coutts & Co and Barclays International.
Hard on the heels of the disturbing insights into the Gerald Carroll Trusts debacle well seasoned political observers in Washington DC have remarked that this case has firmly highlighted the serious level of white collar organized crime penetration within the HM Government law enforcement inter-agencies who are charged with the prosecution of criminal bankers accountants and lawyers who continue to pose a real economic national security threat to the United States of America and close allies.

Nothing but love.
After swinging flies for weeks without a single tug, it's safe to say that you and steelhead have a love-hate relationship, but you'll have nothing but love for your Ross Animas S Fly Reel after a thousand casts. Its classic look and heavier design balances well with switch and spey rods, but that's not say this reel is some click-and-pawl relic. The disc drag system is impregnated with Teflon for a smooth action and maintenance-free performance, and the quick-release spool gives you the ability to switch the reel between your switch and spey rod if owning reels for every rod in your quiver isn't in your budget.
- A large arbor reel designed for switch and spey rods
- Teflon impregnated disc drag requires minimal maintenance
- Quick-release spool allows reel to be used with different rods
- Easily converts between left- or right-handed retrieve
- Ross Reels are designed and machined in Montrose, Colorado
- Item #RSS000K

Ross Animas Reel
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First, it's a Ross reel - that just about says it all. This reel looks like it can handle screaming chrome, and it's a Ross so I know it will. Beautiful matte finish, black with copper-orange trim looks awesome. The drag feels smooth as silk, and the low volume click lets you listen to the river. The large arbor makes quick work of the hog that just took you into your backing. I've seated this reel onto my Echo Glass Spey 13', 8 weight, and it balances nicely on this rod. Can't wait to actually see how well the Animas tames the savage beasts holing up. Tight lines and cheers.

Chevrolet is one of those cars that has maintained its customers throughout the years by producing a range of cars that always tend to stand out in their specific category. This year, at the Geneva Motor Show 2017, Chevrolet decided to launch the Camaro Track Concept which seems quite promising to all car lovers across the globe!
The interior is outstanding with a flat-bottom steering wheel which is wrapped in suede, Recaro bucket seats with smoked taillights and black emblems. Moreover, the silky green paint with glossy black stripes on the engine hood and roof make the car look unique as ever. This beautiful car is aimed to be a combination of a sports car coupe and a high-performance car used just for the weekends.
The Track Concept idea has been taken from the Camaro SS, using a 6.2-litre V8 rated engine with an outstanding 453 bhp and 617 Nm which is approximately 455 pound-feet of torque. These specs make the car simply amazing. This solid car has many additional luxuries including coolers for the engine, transmission and differentials, electronic limited slip differential, a 30 mm lowered suspension which has been upgraded to improve the cornering capability and a Brembo six piston brake that elevates this car to a whole new level.
The aerodynamics and engine specifications have made this car a very eye-catching sight at the Geneva Motor Show. This new Chevrolet has brought a challenge for new sports coupes like BMW M4 and Mercedes-AMG C63 while car fanatics simply can't wait for this car to hit the roads anytime soon! Before being released into the market officially, this car has brought mayhem in the car industry already. Imagine what it will do once launched publicly.

Why and how should one become a nudist ?
Who can become a nudist ?
Anyone ! Of any gender and any age !
Why should you become nudist ?
How do you become a nudist ?
Well, there is nothing easier than to become a nudist !
The only thing you should do is to take your clothes off ! :)
So how does it feels ? Great huh ? So free - its fun !
Of course you can't do it now (But, if you did, its great!) if you have someone at home, try removing your clothes when you are home alone, and you will see it's great !
Next time you're alone, lock the door and undress. Walk around for a couple of hours. Feel the breeze on your skin, the touch of the floor under your feet. Act as you would act usually, watch TV, read, do things you like. You can also start sleeping nude. I can guaranty you'll like it!
Where to start ?
Thats it ! You are a nudist now ... Enjoy !
For teens:
There are many discussions about should or shouldn't a young nudist tell his parents about it (you can check other's opinions and write your own at the forum). I think that if you feel that your parents wouldn't have anything against it( maybe they will become nudists too) you should tell them, in that way you will enjoy nudism while they are at home. But, if you think it will offend them in any way, or you just shy about it... ( IMHO ) don't do it...

VHS Tape To DVD Transfers.
VHS tapes were great for taping movies, television shows and family events back in the day but they are an extremely poor way to store video that you want to keep for years. VHS tape heads wear out over time and Videotapes deteriorate by many factors such as humidity, temperature, dust, electrical fields and time. Tapes as little as 10 years old could be in bad shape from normal, ordinary use and improper storage. If properly handled and stored, DVD's can reportedly last over 100 years and will not lose any video or audio quality compared to the day it was first made. Transfer VHS to DVD if you care about your memories. Your children, grandchildren and even your great grandchildren will be grateful!

Rootless and Random Bollywood is not Art
In Indian traditions, life is considered very precious mega event of infinite journey we all are travelling. Life is considered precious and valuable. So, all activities carry purpose. Yes, all. Even entertainment and sports too.
Art and creative expressions of Bharat were deeply deliberative and sophisticated traditions rooted from local cultures. Every region has her own types of folk songs and kridas (Sports and plays). All of them are designed or say evolved to nurture various sentiments of human nature.
Creativity had context and ideology and certainly was not rootless, random, passively reactive to external influences (like current state of Bollywood). And yes creativity was not limited to few individuals. It was participative culture where everyone participate, unlike one way culture of ours where only TV and Cinema screen bombards images and we passively guzzle them all, anything and everything.
What is being sold in name of art in creativity in modern Bollywood (except few exceptions) is nothing but junk and chaos. Degenerative in nature. Sucking life out of your senses. Slow poison. Why should we embrace such low forms of acts in such a short life?
Do we want to gift culture of Sex, Smoke and Selfish relations to our next generation?
Well, yes, it looks like when you observe majority parents around you. Unfortunate kids. Unless you stop watching nonsensical entertainment, kids will follow you. 🙂Take care.

7:15am and 7lb15oz 🙂
Well i was born in the midst o' the morn.
The breath of life, as i opened my eyes.
At the start of December, not that i remember.
My momma says "was you born in a barn!?"
I say'd "you should know, you were there."
It's funny because…
The scales say'd i weighed the same
As the time on the wall in the maternity hall.
The Tock had started Ticking,
My story had then begun.
Finally for myself breathing
Before learning how to run.

Can I Trademark a Drink?
Last updated on February 4th, 2015
Yes, you can trademark a drink.
Although you cannot trademark the drink itself, you can trademark the name, logo or slogan that you use to brand the drink. A trademark can cover the brand name, logo, and slogan that you use to distinguish your drink from similar products in the market. Trademarks are a way for businesses to protect the way that they portray their products and services in a competitive market.
If you wish to create and trademark a brand name for a beverage or drink, you should ensure that the name can be used to identify your specific product. For example, a trademark application for "SODA" would be rejected as "SODA" is a generic term that refers to a broad range of products. In contrast, "COCA COLA" is a registered trademark. Your product name should be distinct and original, as applications for duplicate and similar trademarks will be rejected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
If you wish to have a trademark search conducted to verify that your proposed drink name is distinct enough to be accepted, you should contact us today; we would be glad to assist with your trademark search and application.

Whose ready for some shopping? More like self shopping? While this is normally the time that we start buying gifts for others, it is normally the time that I buy gifts for myself. I like to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to take a look at things that I have been wanting to see if by any chance they are on sale and then I go for it!
I should preface this post by stating that I do not know if ANY of these items will be part of the holiday sales, but they are the items that I will be looking for. Having worked retail for many years, I do know that retailers tend to do a generous discount on a lot of tech gear so this year I will be focusing a BIG part on that.
1. Absolutely Fabulous: Absolutely All Of It- Normally stores like to discount a lot of their season sets during this time. I have been lusting for this particular one for years.
2. Make Up Geek Blush Palette and Foiled Eyeshadow Pallet- Cyber Monday is a perfect time to purchase makeup that is sold exclusively or primarily online.
3. Rayovac AA Batteries- Last year husband bought us a years supply of batteries during Black Friday. This year we may need to triple that order because my DSL camera uses batteries (why?) and filming drains them. And if you have littles, you probably need a box of these and AAA as well.
4. Apple iMac Desktop- Remember when having a laptop was all the rage and desktops were uncool? Screw that. I can't see. I need a giant screen (or two) in front of me. And this is a dream!
5. USB Memory Card Reader- I can't even tell you the amount of times I wished I had one of these little gadgets. Basically, life would be better if I owned one.
6. Bose SoundTrue Headphones- Previous to recent YouTube channel creation, I would have said I personally didn't need these. But now whilst editing, I can see how they can help.
7. Kate Spade Portable Charger- While filming this video, I realized how much this would come in handy.
8. SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB SD Card- Currently, I am only able to film 2 videos on my SD card before it gets full. This limits me to only being able to film once during the weekends which is when I devote most of my time to creating videos. This will allow me to be more productive.
9. Hallmark "Here Comes the Pumpkin King" Keepsake Ornament- In case I haven't made my love for all things Jack Skelington, this ornament would make a great addition to our tree.
What will you be going after this year? And remember, shopping is cardio. Yes, even online. You worked that index finger to death clicking away! Go ahead and eat that pizza. You deserve it!

I on the other hand am in training for my bust plans to get out an do more hikes this year.. running Sunday to Saturday, I got 5 walk-hikes in for a total of 7 km, which is both great and not to much at the same time. I still need energy to do the farm and slowly build up strength after a winter of healing from falling though the floor in the out building..
Have a great sunday..

WICKER PARK — True to their goal of opening the long anticipated Vinny D's by this weekend's Do-Division street fest, the DeTommaso and Czapla families behind the casual Italian restaurant have announced a grand opening celebration for Thursday.
Located at 1709 W. Division St., Vinny D's offers several flavors of shaved ice, gelato, and soft serve ice cream, plus juicy Italian beef sandwiches smothered in cheddar cheese and Chicago-style Vienna Beef hot dogs and chili dogs.
There is also a walk-up window for those with dogs and strollers, or just wanting a quick to-go meal. In addition to eight seats inside, a covered sidewalk patio offers a smattering of tables.
Though hours have been 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily since a soft opening last weekend, co-owner Derrick Czapla said that the plan is to extend summer hours until midnight, hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Fans can stay updated by checking out Vinny D's Facebook page.
The restaurant took over a 1,700-square-foot apartment on the ground level of an 1880s building that was long painted a unique mix of bright pink and purple. The paint was updated recently to a more subtle gray.
The father-in-law of Czapla's business partner Vince DeTommaso owns the building and left the ground-floor empty for at least 15 years, according to Vince's wife, Renee DeTommaso.
"It was time to do something with [the space]. Division Street has changed," Renee DeTommaso said on Tuesday while greeting customers at the front counter with her daughter Sabrina DeTommaso.
Vinny D's draws its name from the owners' names.
"He's the Vinny and I'm the D," Czapla said.
Czapla and his wife Lucy live in Schaumburg and the DeTommasos commute to Wicker Park from Kildeer. The business partners know each other from working in real estate industry together.
Reception to the food was positive during the first few days of business, according to Czapla.
"The gelato was big and food wise, Italian beef. We were asking honest opinions and everyone said it was spot on," Czapla said. Vinny D's menu. [Provided]

Not a lot to say this week...except that I still am thinking about my love affair with MORE. It flows over into everything...I even realized that I want MORE when I cuddle with DB in the morning!! I love MORE, but I think I may need to investigate a closer relationship with ENOUGH or even, gasp!, LESS. ;-)
I managed to go to the gym both days last weekend AND Monday and will go tonight and tomorrow too (PD's birthday bash was pushed back to Saturday so all my gym-juggling only resulted in me having MORE time to go!).
I am going to dress as Ginger on Gilligan's Island for work on Friday -- several of us are going as all the characters. I got a slammin' red wig and sequiny dress to wear (along with false eyelashes, etc.). The wig is a kind of beehive so I might look more like Kate Pierson from B-52s than Ginger, but it will be fun! ;-)

I want to be Ginger!! Sounds fun. I don't know if I am going to dress up. Was Catholic school girl over the weekend but don't feel like doing it again. We are supposed to for work but I am uninspired..I think I like the idea of having love affair with Less....

I am to the point where I am totally repulsed by MORE. Took a very long time coming - but appears to be here. Both girls seem to be 'catching' the concept too. Husband and son were always this way - less is better (husband to the point of not having enough which I think added to my MORE problems - as I was often trying to compensate).

A manufactured home is simply a name for a home that is built in a factory. Factory-built homes are made by employees who are trained to do a very specialized phase of construction, which means they are truly masters of their craft. Manufactured and modular homes are built to a series of construction standards that address every aspect of the home: heating, plumbing, structural design, electrical systems, energy efficiency, safety, and even transportation. The goal is to ensure the highest degree of safety in construction available for your hard-earned dollar.
Today's manufactured homes can be shipped with top-of-the-line brand name appliances. Custom add-ons like fireplaces, decks, and porches are now also easily achievable. Advances in the building process have allowed manufacturers to produce homes in a wide array of architectural styles. While homebuyers can choose from many pre-existing floor plans, they can also customize the layout of their new home to fit their budget, taste, and lifestyle. Manufactured homes are customizable to a degree that leaves traditional stick-built homes at a disadvantage.
In a factory, the climate is controlled around the clock and the weather is, as you might imagine, always perfect! Theft, damage, and vandalism are non-existent. This means that expenses related to ensuring stability, security, and consistency, are vastly lower than conventional forms of construction. Also, these manufacturers are able to purchase building materials on a large scale which results in significant discounts compared to that of a stick-built home. These efficiencies and savings on materials translate directly into affordability for the home buyer.
Ideal Homes, Inc commitment to its customers' shopping experience and satisfaction is exemplified by our adoption of revolutionary, innovative 3D Virtual Home Tour technology. We invite every customer to step inside and experience it for themselves.
As you browse our inventory of expertly built park models, keep an eye out for the "3D Tour" icon designation!

Cannes 2018: Deepika Padukone's First Look Of Day 2 Is A Let Down!
Here comes the first appearance of Deepika Padukone for her 2nd day at Cannes, 2018 and Dippy leaves us underwhelmed...
it's the dress code Deepika is following every morning with her first outfit or
a conscious choice- but the final outcome has left us not so happy.
Deepika wore the same combination like yesterday as her first outfit for the day. White ganjee with flared bottom jeans and hair poker straight- I think the look doesn't please the eye at all.
While her look with the knotted tee and ankle-length fitted denims made
the beauty look extremely hot, this one, on the other hand, is quite a blah
combination. Her flashy pumps may be something to boast about but with bottoms
like those, they are hardly visible.
Talking about her red carpet appearance, last night, Deepika was a vision
in white. The sheer gown by Zuhair Murad was no less than hotness
personified. With a deep neck and a dramatic cape, Deepika looked like a
goddess. She twirled her tresses in big waves and kept it simple in terms of
her make-up and accessories.
Kangana also rocked the look as the Queen chose a regal avatar for the red
carpet. Just like Deepika, she also wore a sheer Zuhair Murad gown but the
colour Kangana chose was more beige and gold. The actress experimented a bit
with her hair-do and tied a messy bun. Her make-up, as compared to Deepika, was
nude but strikingly different.
The ones who left us disappointed, yesterday at the red carpet, were Huma Qureshi and Mallika Sherawat. Both of them opted for something which didn't flatter us.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has departed for Cannes, last night with her daughter, Aaradhya. Just can't wait to see what this diva will don at the red carpet, as she does that for the 17th time.

Just Do It.
Such a strong statement, and something to live by. I'm tired, Im not sure if I'm gonna work right- just do it. Get off your lazy ass and move. Run around for an hour, walk to the park, or if you want go to the gym. Just get your fucking body moving. Its good for you, and hell if you are in a shitty mood- it gives you endorphin's- they make you happy. Try it.
Had a bad day at work and wanna nom? Don't grab that pizza. Eat something healthy. Yeah, its not gonna be the same as 3 scoops of custard but in the morning you will feel better and not be self-loathing. while in the shower. Just eat right. Just do it.

When I think back to Margaux and Chad's wedding day at LA's Smog Shoppe, all I think is, "Wow!" As you will witness, there was so much detail and thought put in to make this wedding look absolutely beautiful. Margaux is a talented up-and-coming event designer, and when you view the images, you will clearly see why! Her style is sophisticated and classy... but overall, my absolute favorite detail of the whole day was Margaux and Chad's first look. Chad seemed nervous, but excited, and I think even Margaux was surprised by her own emotion. But when Chad turned around to see his bride for the first time, it made everything worth it. Every plan, schedule, detail, and thought that was put into that day. Thank you, Margaux and Chad, for letting me be so personally involved on such a special day.

A Methed to Make the Gentle World - 13
Wellll, took a lot longer than I thought it would to get around to this. As usual busy with real life after having graduated, and sadly I just couldn't resist the allure of the sequel to Tsujidou-san no Jun'ai Road. Good news though is that freezing has still been steady, Kiss x Sis 74 came out recently, and Rika 14 should be out soon as well. As for the future, gonna try to dedicate some more time to catching up on Yandere Kanojo, as well as the Haganai translation, and we'll see what happens from there. Anyway, you can grab the chapter with the links below:

A proposal by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to limit the number of subjects students can sit at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examination may have found favour with the Guyana Teachers Union but former Minister of Education Priya Manickchand says that it is ill thought out and dumb.
"Our students are pressured to take too many subjects, all for bragging rights," GTU President Mark Lyte told this newspaper yesterday. "All someone needs for employment or to further their studies is five subjects inclusive of Mathematics and English. So the union supports this move by the ministry."
Lyte's position is in direct contrast to that of Manickchand who had responsibility for the Education Ministry during the Donald Ramotar administration.
The present Shadow Minister of Education told Sunday Stabroek yesterday that the policy does not appear to be based on any data and is therefore flawed.
"It's absolute stupidity. You have to go out and find out if such a policy is actually required. Sitting on your butt and making these broad sweeping policies is dumb," she said.
Manickchand questioned the reasoning used by former Minister of Education Dr Rupert Roopnaraine in support of this policy.
Roopnaraine had repeatedly stated that he believed Guyana's children were not rounded enough because they were doing too many subjects and were therefore unable to engage in extra and co-curricular activities.
Manickchand argued that in reality the few students who write 15 or more subjects are involved in several activities while those who write 5 or 6 subjects are not.
She provided the example of Ashley Anthony, the daughter of Member of Parliament Dr Frank Anthony, who is a published author.
"Look at the daughters of Justice George, these girls have written a large number of subjects and they are squash champions, play the piano and speak a foreign language," she said. Both Akeila and Larissa Wiltshire have secured passes in 17 CSEC subjects while dominating in squash.
Additionally, Manickchand noted that only a small number of students who have proven their capabilities are allow-ed to write these subjects.
"You have let's say 1,000 students writing CXC and about 30 to 50 writing a large number of subjects and they go through a rigorous process which will determine that they are ready and capable of sitting these number of subjects. Schools don't register any and everybody to write 15 subjects," she stressed.
The Member of Parliament has indicated her intention of challenging the reasoning behind the policy through written questions in the National Assembly.
"How many children wrote CXC in the last 5 years per year? How many wrote 15 or more subjects in the last 5 years per year? How many of them passed all 15 or more subjects per year? How many of those were involved in at least one extra-curricular activity per year? What sports and music programmes have been put in schools that students would be unable to pursue if they write a large number of subjects? These are the questions I intend to put before the house," Manickchand explained.
She noted that while art, music and sport are important there is no evidence that these programmes have been developed within the last two years or that pursuing a large number of subjects, with syllabi taught from the fourth year prevents students from participating in these programmes.
Other educators, parents and students whose comments were sought yesterday have also labelled the attempt to limit the number of subjects Guyana's children can write at one sitting as misguided.
According to one parent Michele Fraser, whose daughter wrote 16 subjects at this year's examinations; a blanket limitation would deny students the opportunity to determine their own life path in an increasingly complex world.
"My child decided since first form that these were the subjects she wished to write. I was at first skeptical but she convinced me," she said. "What would I have been saying to her if I had limited her? In the end it was a decision made with contributions from me, the parent, my child and the teachers and that is how it should be."
Sophia King, who wrote 13 subjects in 2010, explained that she chose to write the number of subjects she did not just because she was confident of her results but because they represented her only opportunity to be exposed to certain topics and ideas.
King, who has since completed a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry and is now pursuing her Master of Science in Materials Chemistry at the Univer-sity of California, Los Angeles, maintains that she does not regret her choice.
"I don't regret writing any of them because they're all useful to me now. There are a lot of holes in our education system, but limiting the number of subjects students write will not fix that. Yes, Google is there and free but sometimes you need inspiration from somewhere to send you down rabbit holes and often you don't get the spark from day-to-day life. For me these subjects offered that," she explained.
Similar sentiments were expressed by two senior teachers, who did not wish to be identified. The teachers, who are attached to a senior secondary school, noted that blanket policies are never helpful when attempting to develop a student's full potential.
"The policy may be a good thing for some schools, where teachers either don't or are unable to advise the children and then they write subjects they cannot handle, or which do not make them employable. But for spaces which have an environment that can facilitate a wider scope for the students it is not a good idea," one of the teachers stated.
On the other hand, the teachers have noted that the criteria set out by the Ministry of Education might require that the ministry fulfils certain responsibilities which it has failed to live up to over the years.
"The MoE has suggested a list of streams and subjects that match the CSEC list. They have asked that schools follow them. This will force the MoE to staff the schools with teachers for these subjects, which is good. Often we find that a student is not able to pursue an area of interest because we do not have teachers to teach it. But if the ministry decides that these areas must be taught then they must provide teachers," they explained.
This newspaper reached out to Roopnaraine under whose tenure the memo which speaks to the subject limit was crafted and circulated but received no response. Attempts to contact Chief Education Officer Marcel Hutson also failed.
However, this newspaper was able to secure a copy of the memo which directs that each child must write at least five subjects inclusive of Mathematics and English.
The memo details four streaming options of Arts, Business, Science and Technical and Vocation Education.
Each stream list Mathe-matics, English Language and English Literature as compulsory subjects.

"The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star." – Sir Elton John
Who are you?
I'm Andy Sage, a long-time music games nerd. I worked for Rhythm Authors at the start of RBN, released several RBN songs as a solo author, and have dabbled in custom songs since GH2. I've created and maintained several iterations of a Rock Band song list, the newest of which is Rock Band Chronicle. Mostly, though, I've been there every Friday being excited for Rock Band DLC, and that's the legacy I want to help maintain.
What do you do for C3?
I write the weekly blog and forum posts, maintain the forums, add the songs to the database (which I coded), and release customs from time to time.
What types of releases can we expect to see from you?
I enjoy a wide variety of music — "alternative/indie" (think Metric or Modest Mouse), classic rock, dance-y rock, high-energy modern rock (The Raconteurs, etc.), all kinds of stuff. I tend to author songs that I reeeeeally like, or songs that really need to be in RB and weren't licensed during official DLC for whatever reason. You can also expect regular maintenance and upgrades to the C3 database; if there's a feature you'd like included, drop me a line at my username @gmail.com.
7 Comments
Hey pksage, I wanted to thank you for all the work you have put in so far, nice! Hearing you say Modest Mouse immediatly made me think of the Whale Song, please consider it when you get back to customs
Great job guys, BTW i can help with venue work. I've worked for TAG (ThatAuthoringGroup) as a venue designer and did compiling and charting OD for songs. Some songs I've done include ALL Halcyon Way venues and some OD charting, Powerman 5000's Time Bomb. Also, a few others.
I hope you read this.
Do you think you'll be able to do some Tenacious D songs. Please
It's sad that only 3 of their songs got on Rock Band.
I'm in awe of your creating 4 Mother Mother tracks for RB this week. I don't think I've ever been more excited about any other songs having been released for RB (that includes my own band). Thank you Thank you. Also, Sticks might be the greatest album of the past ten years or so….you know, just saying.
Hey guy, can you help me? send me a e-mail to email@example.com and i'll show what you need to start. sorry for my worst english, but you should understand what i mean.
Hola pksage , Tengo un par de canciones de guitar hero con multitrack que quisiera que conviertan a RB3. Ustedes podrían convertirlo ?
hi, me and my friends in Rio de Janeiro, would like to know if you can do the songs on Wax – Right Between the eyes (extended Mix) and Tears for Fears – Woman in Chains

ThreatTrack Security Labs researchers have confirmed the credential-stealing Trojan Dyre is using a new dropper — and a valid digital certificate — to carry out its dirty work over HTTPS connections.
The Ruckguv downloader works by injecting a dll into an instance of Windows Service Host (svchost.exe). Windows Service Host then uses HTTPS to download Dyreza from a compromised domain.
Labs researchers note that this new Dyre technique stands out for a few reasons:
- The new dropper is signed with a valid digital certificate
- All the action happens over HTTPS, which is generally less monitored than a HTTP connection
There are also reports of spam messages including links to file sharing and hosting sites, such as sugarsync[dot]com, leading to the download of Ruckguv as well.
This latest variation is apparently just one more way that Dyre attempts to deceive and reproduce; we recently reported on how Dyre was increasing its target range and altering the type of spambots it uses.
As always, users should remain vigilant for files or emails or files that seem suspicious, and ensure their antivirus is up-to-date to protect them from malicious threats.
VIPRE detects files signed with the misused certificate as Trojan.Compcert.42015 (fs).

A service for the ordination and installation of elders to the congregation of the First Presbyterian (Non-Subscribing) Church, Dromore was held recently by the Presbytery of Bangor.
The Moderator of Presbytery, the Rev Robert McKee, conducted the installation of Sam O'Mullan, Ann McMillan and Roderick McMurray.
Moderator of the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church in Ireland, the Rev Chris Wilson, gave an exposition of Presbyterian Church Order, relating the various roles of Luther, Calvin and Knox in its development.
He emphasised that Presbyterianism was a form of church governance, not a sect, and that church elders were therefore important in the life of the church. During the 'Charge to Elders and Congregation', the Rev Brian Cockcroft also emphasised the important role church elders play, not only as trusted advisers to the minister but in many practical ways in the day-to-day life of the church. He suggested their motto might mirror that of the Scout Association - 'Be Prepared' (for almost anything) - as they serve and support the minister and congregation.
What was important, he said, was that elders lead by example with regard to helpfulness, good citizenship, and regular attendance at church.
Following the servicethe new elders, guests and congregation enjoyed supper and fellowship in the Ervine Hall.
Organist was Julie Black.

WILLIAM ALBERT ROUNDS has been actively identified with real estate enterprise in the City of Cleveland since
the year 1896, and has specialized in the building and selling of residences of the better grade and type. He has
diversified his interests through his association with important banking enterprise, and is one of the progressive
and liberal citizens and business men of the Ohio metropolis.
Mr. Rounds was born on the old homestead farm of the family in Lafayette Township, Medina County, Ohio, and the
date of his nativity was April 5, 1865. He is a son of the late Hiram L. and Mary Ann (Watters) Rounds, representatives
of honored pioneer families in Medina County. In that county Hiram L. Rounds was born April 13, 1837, and there,
at Medina, the county seat, his death occurred in the year 1912. He had long been numbered among the substantial
exponents of farm industry in that county, and was influential in community affairs. His father, Albert Rounds,
was born in the City of Boston, Massachusetts, in 1809, and became one of the successful pioneer farmers of Medina
County, Ohio, where also he was one of the founders and a director of the Phoenix National Bank at Medina. Mrs.
Mary A. (Watters) Rounds was born in Sharon Township, Medina County, in 1840, a daughter of William E. Watters,
who there settled in an early day, he having been a native of Manchester, England. The devoted companionship of
Mr. and Mrs. Rounds was not long severed, as both died in the year 1912, their married life having covered a period
of fifty four years.
The influences of the old home farm compassed the childhood and early youth of William A. Rounds, and after attending
the public schools of the period he pursued a course in the Ohio State Normal School. For eight years he was a
successful teacher in the district schools of his native county, where also he served one year as township school
supervisor. In 1896, as previously stated, he came to Cleveland and engaged in the building business, and with
this line of enterprise he has since continued his active association.
Mr. Rounds was one of the organizers and a charter member of the Home Savings & Trust Company, and when the
same was consolidated with the Pearl Street Savings & Trust Company, he continued as a member of the Board
of Directors of the latter institution. He is also appraiser of real estate for the Home Bank, a branch of the
Pearl Street Savings & Trust Company, of the real estate board of which latter he is a valued member. He was
a charter member and a director of the Savings Deposit Banking Company of Medina, of which he continues a stockholder,
though he recently resigned as director of this institution. Mr. Rounds is an active member of the Cleveland Chamber
of Industry, and is in full accord with its progressive ideals and policies. He is affiliated with the Masonic
fraternity, and he and his wife are members of the Franklin Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he is a
Mr. Rounds married Miss Viola E. Huntley, of Granger, Medina County, and they have two children: Louise, in 1922,
a student in the woman's college of Western Reserve University, at Cleveland, and Sterling W. is attending high

In working with patients, sometimes it's hard to convince them that things can get better. When I work with people who have struggled for many years due to depression or anxiety, they don't feel that things can get better and struggle to see things from a different perspective. When you have financial problems, relationship issues, and no reason to get out of bed in the morning, life is hard. With people working two and three jobs to try to get ahead, the getting ahead sometimes never seems to happen. That kind of depression and sadness can be overwhelming, and limit someone's ability to "look on the bright side".
I have come to understand that for some people in our country there is no bright side. So how do you help someone when they get that low? Research tells us that the combination of medication and behavioral therapy can help make changes in a person's perspective and behavior. That's great, but what if they are still struggling to make ends meet? That part gets a bit harder. If someone is homeless, can't find a job, is not ready to maintain a job, or struggling in other ways, there has to be more support for them to make long term changes. I believe that most people would like to work and be productive. I will say that a small percentage of people don't want to work, but most would like to feel productive and be able to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
For many, they will need help and support to make progress, not just with counseling and mental health support, but with job training and education around what it takes to maintain a job. Being to work on time, maintaining a good work ethic, getting things done, are all job skills that can be taught to someone who is willing to learn. There is so much more to feeling productive than getting hired. There are people who can get hired but can't maintain employment. There are also people who can't get hired that would be able to do well if someone would give them the support or understanding they need.
As people struggle around you, think about resources in your community. If you are struggling, look for ways to get support. Often there are employment places around that can help with putting a resume together, and help you start working on job skills, including how to dress, how to present yourself, and interview skills. If you are struggling with financial problems, there are resources to help with incidental problems (but money goes quickly). Most communities have assistance, depending on income and other qualifications. Accessing those resources are important. If you need support for mental health issues, get help as you need it. Let someone help you change your perspective. When things look impossible, sometimes it's hard to see anything getting better, but there is help out there.
A spoon full of sugar can make anything sweeter, and the help you can access if your own community can help you change your life, for the better. If you need to know where to start, your local community mental health agency can provide resources and places for you to call. Look for other resources like employment agencies and other services that can help you with options. Things can get better, and with support to change your perspective and your life, you can be happy again and feel better about your future.

Remoto Challenge is a one part collaboration and one part competition. Teams work together to build bridges that form the circuit and then race RC cars around the track and try and win the best time!
Teams must put on their creative hats and design and build a sturdy bridge that can sustain 2 cars. The weight must be well distributed through all the pillars and columns to ensure stability and strength. This takes planning, testing and a lot of out of the box thinking to make sure no failures or collapse happen. Teams must also collaborate with other teams when building so that the circuit is well laid out without sharp corners or steep drops/climbs.
Working with equal props, teams are given the basic ideas on how bridges work. They can choose to build any type of bridge that can be built with the provided resources. The circuit must be sturdy all around and constant improvements are needed to ensure the longevity of the bridge. Teams work against time, resources and the comply with the laws of bridge constructions and ensure all teams complete on time.
The event concludes with the teams going head to head with RC cars. Proper F1 qualifying rules apply to ensure grid positions for the race and. Finally, the teams line up on the grid and its go go go all the way to the chequered flag!

Young volunteers who care for elderly people could bank the hours they put in as care for themselves when they need it in later life.
That's the plan for Give&TakeCare, a £1m government funded venture which fosters a fundamentally new approach to care – one driven by time rather than money.
Hosted by Brunel University London and partnered by the East of England Co-op and Age Concern, Give&TakeCare CIC launches in Berkshire, on Friday February 10.
It could serve hundreds of thousands of people across the country in a fresh solution to Britain's chronically underfunded care system.
As some councils planned to raise tax by up to 15%, to plug the funding gap, The Local Government Association last week warned the system is 'on the brink of failing altogether'.
"We see this as the only solution to the increasing number of elderly people," said Brunel's Gabriella Spinelli, Give&Take's co-director. "Many housebound older people are lonely, which leads to malnutrition and depression. Human contact can also help stave off Dementia, so by preventing these, this could save the NHS and Social Services vast amounts."
The scheme's creator and other co-director, popular scientist, Professor Heinz Wolff believes if enough people join, Give&Take "will give everyone the confidence it is a real alternative to current social-care models."
Give&Take hopes to attract some of the millions of people who give unpaid care to loved ones. By joining, they can save up a care 'pension' which they could either claim back as care for themselves in retirement or for as care for a relative. The banked time, which the East of England Co-operative Society will manage is immune to inflation or market crashes, said Dr Spinelli. "An hour today is an hour tomorrow, and it's still an hour in 20 years' time."
Professor Wolff, notes "by upskilling current informal carers doing their best without training or support, the scheme could improve the quality of care across the UK."
"It may go against the grain for people who think care should be paid for by Government," Dr Spinelli admits. "But the economic argument is against them."
With the promise of potential government funding Prof Wolff and Dr Spinelli are in talks with local authorities and The Care Quality Commission to work out how Give&Take can work as an alternative national care system.

"Samanvaya" means integration. A process in school system which enables a child with learning differences to cope with education demands. A child with learning differences is like a wheel which needs grease to move. They need more time, energy and resources. The great challenge that we face, is meeting individual and unique needs of each child. We shall use the term learning differences instead of learning disability in the hope to encourage a holistic view of children with Learning Disabilities, a view that bolsters self esteem by emphasizing strength.
The brain and nervous system of the child with learning differences is structured in a different way. This structural difference makes their learning pattern different from others. We can not change the structure of the brain but we can change the process of teaching , responding and dealing with the child. Not only does it bring about a change in the child but also in the people who are dealing with the child. To bring about this chain of change Rajhans Vidyalaya has set up SAMANVAYA.
To accomplish the mission we seek the partnership of:
1.CHILD- most important person in the process, he should work
2.PARENTS- understanding child's special needs. They need more time, energy and resources.
3.PROFESSIONALS- to identify and assess the difference
4.SPECIAL EDUCATOR- intervene effectively
5.TEACHERS- most critical person in the process for
The process is long term and the difference will stay but identification and leveraging of individual strength will prepare them to achieve success in their special area . Support shall be an ongoing process at Samanvaya.
Like any other nurturance , persistence, care, compassion and skills will make the child successful in life and learning.
