CHIVHU - Tinashe Mutume escaped death by a whisker after a violent attempted robbery around Philjen Country club area during the late hours of the night when he was coming from work.
The 27-year-old bar tender at Chivhu Hotel nearly lost his precious life and escaped with head injuries around 22:00 hrs.
"I heard queer sounds just after crossing the highway and within seconds I was down on the ground and in a pool of blood. It happened so fast that I cannot give a clear explanation.
"I was hit by a wooden pole on my head and before I could do anything else, I was struck on the shoulders twice and broke my hand," said Mutume.
He had to force himself to fight back after realising that the robbers were after his pocket.
"I had to look for something to fight back because they were after my pockets searching me all over and luckily I got hold of a wooden pole which I used to threaten the two guys and I disappeared from the scene but in so much pain," said Mutume.
He was later taken to Chivhu General Hospital for medical attention and was nursing head and shoulder injuries by the time of writing.
"My hand is still in pain although I am recovering well from the head injury I am not going to work because I am not yet fit," Mutume said.
A number of robbery cases have been reported in Chivhu in recent weeks and the Philjen area and Northwood residential location are now crime hotspots.
The Police have also issued a statement urging residents and members of the public to be vigilant in light of increasing robbery cases.local

Alas, the world is not perfect. Few programs more complex than "Hello, world!" are totally bug-free, and DocToHtml is no exception. Although we do our best to minimize possible issues, DocToHtml might fail to operate properly under some conditions. For such cases, DocToHtml has a built-in feature for tracking the origin of the error, so that we can reproduce, investigate, and resolve the issue. Please use the error-tracking feature to help us improve our software and increase our customers' satisfaction.
If you encounter an error, before taking any steps, please download the latest version of DocToHtml from its official webpage. But if installing the most up-to-date version does not solve the issue, please read the suggestions below. For us, bug fixing has the top priority, and usually we can fix a reproducible bug within a few days.

Nothing could be further
from the truth...
One of the things
that surprises people is how quickly it can
be done...
Golf Course Business Plan
Course Business
Many businesspeople
playing a round of golf at the local country club have dreamed of opening
and running their very own golf course.
While there is no doubt
that running a golf course can be a very lucrative occupation, it is
important to have a solid golf course business plan in place before
seeking financing.
Financing Your Golf Course Business
There are many reasons
to prepare a golf course business plan before seeking financing for the
business. The most important of these reasons is that a golf course
business plan will be required by just about every loan officer who
reviews the business loan application.
Even those who are
seeking only private financing will still need to create a solid golf
course business plan before seeking that private financing.
Plan Can Help With Seeking Business Partners
A golf course business
plan will also be important when seeking business partners for your new
golf course.
While there may be no
shortage of people who would like to own a golf course, it is important
that only qualified partners be considered, and those savvy businesspeople
will want to see a solid golf course business plan before parting with
their hard earned money.
Financing will be needed
in order to start a golf course, so it is vital to prepare that golf
course business plan.
The real estate alone
that is needed to open a golf course will likely cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars, so it is vital to line up investors and financing,
and the golf course business plan is the key to making this happen.
addition to the financial details, the golf course business plan should
contain information on the unique challenges and opportunities of running
a successful and lucrative golf course.
instance, the golf course business plan should include information on any
necessary insurance coverage, equipment needed to start the operation, and
other information specific to the golfing industry.
How To Write A
Business Plan… Made Easy
Planning… Planning will help you
to keep everything in proper perspective, because without a step by
step business plan, there is no way you can keep your business
running successfully.

anyone can do it.

Microbial/yeast fermentation
LuinaBio can use Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a species of yeast, in fermentation to produce biopharmaceuticals. The advantages of using S. cerevisiae as a cell factory for the production of biopharmaceuticals is that there is a tremendous amount of information available about the organism. This provides an extensive knowledge base for further engineering.
We also offer clients the ability to produce biopharmaceuticals using Pichia pastoris, a robust yeast expression system that produces high levels of recombinant proteins. The Pichia system is stable, durable and cost-effective. Pichia grows on simple media and secretes low amounts of endogenous protein, making it easier to recover and purify the desired recombinant protein from the cell supernatant.
Pichia has two primary advantages of S. cerevisiae in lab and industrial settings. A methylotroph, Pichia can grow with the simple alcohol methanol as its only source of energy, a system that's cheap to set up and maintain. Pichia can additionally grow in media containing only one carbon source and one nitrogen source and grow to very high cell densities, a great advantage when trying to produce large quantities of protein without expensive equipment.
Microbial manufacturing is underpinned by fermentation capability up to 500L scale. We are able to offer a full suite of manufacturing both whole cell preparations, recombinant products from microbial hosts and naturally produced cellular products such as carbohydrates. Processing can be undertaken under GMP or non GMP as needed.
We can undertake:
– Master and working cell bank preparation, validation and storage
– Fermentation and subsequent downstream purification
– Up and downscale work up optimisation
– Downstream processing optimisation and development

What a week! It started off really well with a three day trip to London with my two favourite Shiltons where we had a fabulous time exploring, seeing the sights and spending some quality time with each other. It's amazing how a few days away from home, away from the never-ending washing pile and the chores of daily life can be good for you. Unfortunately for the second half of the week I've had a stomach bug and ended up in bed for three days with no energy and an inability to sleep, bleugh!
Focusing on the fab stuff that we've done this week, here's my #LittleLoves
I bought Olly a new book for bedtime Goodnight Spaceman by Michelle Robinson. It's a book for children inspired by British Astronaut Tim Peake and his two sons who say goodnight to their space rockets and dream of all the adventures they could have out in space with their Dad. Olly is loving all things space at the moment so I knew he'd love it.
I've been able to catch up on LOADS of television this week whilst lying in bed and I have loved been able to watch everything on my iPad. I've caught up on lots of documentaries and reality TV. Think Bear Grylls Mission Survive, Sex in Strange Places (with Stacey Dooley who I think is a brilliant presenter and isn't worried about asking the questions you're thinking) and Trauma Doctor, which is mad as I'm so squeamish but I am in awe of watching the doctors and nurses, paramedics and surgeons at work, they're incredible!
I have loved hearing Olly's stories and phrases this week. His adventures to London at the weekend have sparked a few made up stories, no idea where he gets his imagination from but they're so funny and I love to hear how he links everything together. My favourite thing that Olly has said this week is when listening to hubby about starting his Postgrad course for his Masters (crazy fool!) Olly asked him if he was going to be a post man, awwwww!
A very tenuous link but we've made memories this week. We had a wonderful weekend in London. We stayed at a very posh hotel, ate fine food and visited some of the sights we have wanted to see for a while. We spent a couple of hours in Hyde Park having a scoot around the grounds of Kensington Palace. We went high up into the sky and over the Thames on the Emirates AirLine Cable Cars and braved it.
We took Olly into the Princess of Wales Memorial Playground which is fantastic and a must see. The Pirate Ship in the middle was Olly's favourite.
I went up the London Eye solo as Olly was scared at how high it was so I enjoyed some amazing views of London whilst the boys checked out the London Aquarium. We managed to squeeze in a couple of hours in the Natural History Museum exploring the dinosaurs exhibition too! Whilst we were in the big smoke, we also met up with my brother-in-law and his partner who live in London, for dinner whilst we were down there which was lovely and Olly got to spend some time with his Uncles.
We borrowed a micro scooter and a helmet from the hotel and Olly got to ride around Hyde Park in style. It was great fun and Olly even handed the helmet over to me to try out the scooter which I have to say was a brilliant laugh. So funny and stupidly fast!
And lastly
Whilst we were in London, we were treated to a lovely evening meal at our hotel. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and ordered smoked haddock risotto for starters and it was a delight. So tasty and enjoyable. I really surprised myself as I don't eat a lot of fish if any really. I'll definitely be attempting to re-create the meal at some point using the fish (despite not knowing how on earth to cook a fish) but I like a challenge!

Recently we saw a kitchen made entirely with pallets, you can retrieve the post at this link, today from EDP they complement this kitchen with a new piece of furniture, a corner shelf made with pallet planks.
Adapted to the 90 ° of the corner, the shelf is configured using several previously extracted planks, also cleaned and sanded. The different heights of these planks draw a pyramid where the highest point is the center of it, then two shelves has also been constructed using pallet planks, but giving it a curved shape to be more aesthetic. Under the shelves cross planks also serve as brackets to support the weight, the shelves also join the other planks from the furniture.
Place it in a kitchen corner or in your dinning room and fill it with cups and dishes.
Do you like this pallet shelves for the kitchen? Do you want to look for more pallet shelves?

Black voted to prosecute spousal rape.
Just days after announcing the Black for Congress Exploratory Committee, The Weekly Standard posted a video that my democratic challenger distributed during my last election, falsely implied that I voted against a spousal rape bill. In fact, I voted for the bill. This response article by World Net Daily captured the truth of the matter:
Dirty tricks already?
One potential candidate is already getting bad press and, strangely, it's coming from fellow Republicans.
State Sen. Richard Black has announced he is forming an exploratory committee to determine whether he should run for the 10th district seat vacated by Wolf.
Viginia State Sen. Richard Black, R-District 13
The Weekly Standard has posted a story calling Black a defender of spousal rape.
It's not clear why the website felt compelled to run an attack ad against the Virginia Republican, distributed by his opponent before November's election.
Defenders point out that Black was not taking a position for or against marital rape, but as a former JAG officer and prosecutor, he was noting the proposed law was unworkable as a means of gaining convictions.
Christopher Lore, a legislative assistant to the senator, said, "I'd also like to point out that he's the only person in the General Assembly who's successfully prosecuted a case of spousal rape during his career as JAG attorney."
Lore said the bill made it easier to prosecute these cases, and Black was worried about the weakening of the burden of proof and had fears about innocent people being prosecuted. When those fears were assuaged, he then voted for the bill.
"Attacks against him on this issue are purposeful twists of the truth," added Lore.
The aide told WND that Black's positions are solidly conservative and that he:
Opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants
Favors the rights of the unborn
Is anti-Obamacare
Supports Second Amendment rights
Lore also noted that Black has a strong interest in foreign affairs, opposes the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and has been in contact with the country's current ruler, Minister of Defense Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, whom he supports.
One thing that might distinguish the senator from other conservatives, Lore said, was that as a Vietnam veteran, he is staunchly opposed to U.S. military intervention...

After working in our garden for a little while, my husband Ford came to find me in our kitchen. "You've got to get rid of all those weeds," he said. "They are sucking up all the water for the lime tree."
Weeds? What weeds? Those are wild greens! But the lambs-quarter plants were getting huge and it was time to harvest them. After pulling the plants up, I began plucking off the leaves. From that big bunch, I ended up with about 11 cups of raw greens. I steamed them in three bunches and ended up with around 5 cups. I used one for dinner that night mixed with some Swiss chard from my garden and froze the rest in 1-cup bags. I'm going to use a couple of bags of the frozen greens this weekend to make a brunch dish for a baby shower. The mom-to-be is a vegetarian, so we've planned the menu to suit her. We'll have two dishes from my new cookbook, Cooking the Wild Southwest: Delicious Recipes for Desert Plants. Our main dish will be Squares of Green, which is basically a quiche with greens and cheese. You could use a recipe you have or find the one in my book. We'll also have French Green Lentil and Nopalito Salad, also in the book. To a base of French green lentils, which don't fall apart when tender, we will add some sauteed nopalitos, chopped red pepper and green onions. It will be dressed with hazelnut oil and sherry vinegar. We will round things out with a fruit salad. The desserts we have planned are too decadent for me to own up to here.
If you live in the desert, it is time to harvest any wild greens; anyone who lives further north or at higher elevation still has several months to go before your harvest.

Eleven Things Blog Meme Chain
Continuing on from Volume 2.
* * *
Chain: 1.) What is your favorite quote?
Ocean Elf: Meh, bleck. I don't have any, and get pretty irritated with people splattering supposedly famous quotes all over the net. if I want to read that stuff I'll go to a library, thanks.
Chain: 2.) What is your first memory?
Ocean Elf: Nothing specific.
Chain: 3.) If you could have any dish cooked by anyone in the world (living or dead), what would you have and who would prepare it for you?
Ocean Elf: I just had a funny idea, but since there is absolutely no way it could ever happen, never mind.
Chain: 4.) What languages do you speak? What language would you most like to learn?
Ocean Elf: Obviously English. Not sure which others I'd like to learn, it would be neat to be able to speak them all. Oh, well.
Chain: 5.) Do you have any pet peeves? What are they?
Ocean Elf: Chain letters, including these blog memes!
Chain: 6.) Name one thing you like about yourself.
Ocean Elf: Uh, eh? Nah.
Chain: 7.) If I handed you $1000 (American) right now, how would you spend it? No fair saving it!
Ocean Elf: I dunno. I'd have to save it for a while until something I really wanted came along.
Chain: 8.) What is your favorite song?
Ocean Elf: Hehe. I have a lot of them. And they change depending on which happens to ring in my head, or what mood I'm in.
Chain: 9.) Do you play any musical instruments?
Ocean Elf: You bet.
Chain: 10.) What is your favorite piece of poetry?
Ocean Elf: Meh. I appreciate a good lot of poetry, but not enough to be that into it, you know.
Chain: 11.) Name your favorite season and why.
Ocean Elf: if you hung around me long enough, you'd get an idea.
Chain: 1. Thinking of your most recent vacation, where did you go and what did you do that was most memorable?
Ocean Elf: had a good time somewhere at some point in time.
Chain: 2. What celebrity are you most often told you look like?
Ocean Elf: Hah! That's a hot one! *Scoffing*
Chain: 3. What is your greatest fear?
Ocean Elf: Asked, asked, and will remain unanswered.
Chain: 4. Have you ever won a contest of any kind?
Ocean Elf: Hasn't everyone at some point if they've lived long enough to reach adulthood?
Chain: 5. Can you remember the first time you saved money/allowance as a child for something special and what you spent it on?
Ocean Elf: heck no.
Chain: 6. What was the last movie you watched?
Ocean Elf: I'm sure that was asked and answered already.
Chain: 7. What book are you reading now?
Ocean Elf: asked and answered.
Chain: 8. What do you miss most about being a child?
Ocean Elf: Asked and answered.
Chain: 9. Tell a story that your family/in-laws/partner love to tease you about.
Ocean Elf: My "Irish Temper" it also comes in handy for smashing particularly manipulative and bullying, dishonest, vile, evil, odious, stupid chain letters. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, but since there's a good connection…
Chain: 10. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Ocean Elf: This would scare the heck out of most people probably. Change people's personalities and minds - not for sinister purposes though. You wouldn't want that sort of power going to the wrong person, but even in the hands of the right person it would be more than unsettling. Why would I want it? To make people stop being cruel, shallow, perverse, stop lying, cheating, and of course, stop starting and spreading chain letters. :p Well, you asked.
Chain: 11. What was your favorite sitcom growing up?
Ocean Elf: One I never see any more.
* * *
Chain: 1. There are $3 cupcakes in the supermarket but you have everything to make them at home. What do you do?
Ocean Elf: Depends on the situation. I mean, if I really want a cupcake right here, right now, and am having an insanely busy day, so, no time for baking, and don't wanna mess up my kitchen and be bothered with cleanup etc. I'll buy 'em. On the other hand, if I'm at home and I have scads of time on my hands, and a hankering for cupcakes and all the fixings for them, and don't mind the chore of cleaning up stuff that day, then I'll make 'em. Besides, with store-bought you don't get to eat some of the batter, which is pretty much worth all the extra time and clean-up etc. But a lot would depend on time and where I am.
Chain: 2. How many pairs of jeans do you own?
Ocean Elf: Enough to do me very nicely, thank you.
Chain: 3. Can you pass up a sale?
Ocean Elf: That all depends on what items are included and if I need/want any of them. If not, then no problem at all.
Chain: 4. When is the last time you stood up for a stranger?
Ocean Elf:I honestly don't recall. I'm the type to stand up for anybody I perceive as getting bullied/harassed. But there hasn't exactly been any sort of drama involving strangers that I can recall lately.
Chain: 5. What is your pet peeve?
Ocean Elf: Again!? Okay, read this: CHAIN LETTERS! And seeing so many people replicating them because they were taken in! People who start chain letters go beyond pet peeve, though!
Chain: 6. What is your favourite quote and what does it mean to you?
Ocean Elf: Asked - and - answered, blah, blah, blah… Next?
Chain: 7. Have you ever had a speeding ticket? Did you try to shamelessly get out of it?
Ocean Elf: Uh, no… *Rolling eyes*
Chain: 8. What fashion DON'Ts did you participate in and STILL secretly love?
Ocean Elf: There's no such thing.
Chain: 9. How many keys are on your key ring?
Ocean Elf: Which one? Aw, never mind.
Chain: 10. Why do you blog?
Ocean Elf: Didn't I sort of answer this one already?
Chain: 11. What is your sign and do you fit it's description?
Ocean Elf: ROTFLOL! If you knew me well enough, you'd know, and probably get a kick out of it like I do. Sometimes these things fit and other times they are WAY off!
* * *
This blog mutation is the same meme but the questions didn't go all the way up to 11.
Chain: 1. Have you ever been ripped off and for how much?
Ocean Elf: None of your business.
Chain: 2. Do you have pets? Are they awesome?
Ocean Elf: If you knew me…
Chain: 3. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Ocean Elf: Wow, I remember this from Morph Vox. And no, I couldn't tell you the answer. Apparently according to the blogger who answered this chain, it's also a Monty Python joke.
Chain: 4. Why are most children's musicians terrible?
Ocean Elf: Oh c'mon, you want me to answer such a subjective question? what if I disagree with your opinion?
Chain: 5. What's the most offensive thing about the $5 bill?
Ocean Elf: Huh!? You're losing it, pal! You've gone off the rails and off the deep end. Get yourself some help before you hurt somebody!
Chain: 6. Prior to Jeremy Lin's current basketball greatness, he was staying on his brother's couch because he didn't have a definitive contract with the New York Knicks. Was the couch long enough to fit an out-stretched Jeremy Lin?
Ocean Elf: How would I know? Why would I care? Why do you?
Chain: 7. What's the least you've purchased with $100?
Ocean Elf: What kind of dimwitted question is that? Even if I understood what you meant and had an answer for you, I wouldn't tell you, because, as said in the very first answer, none of your business.
Chain: 8. What's a reasonable amount of money to spend at a strip club?
Ocean Elf: *Disgusted expression* Absolutely nothing!
Chain: 9. Is an iPad worth it?
Ocean Elf: Depends on who you ask. If you're asking me, well…If you knew me, you'd know my opinion.
Chain: 1.. Would you rather be 8 feet tall and 100 pounds or 2 feet tall and 800 pounds?
Ocean Elf: would you rather be a log or a boulder? Yeah, stupid question.
Chain: 2. Pick one: Canada, United States, Mexico. Explain why it is superior to the other two.
Ocean Elf: I don't have to, and even if I did, none of your business.
Chain: 3. What is the best type of Personal Finance Writer? (Think of writer archetypes – Investor, Debt Blogger, Wild-card, Contrarian…)
Ocean Elf: Huh? Where did this come from?
Chain: 4. What's your favorite dinosaur?
Ocean Elf: Meh.
Chain: 5. Paper or Plastic?
Ocean Elf: For what? Sandwich bags? Lighting a fire? Computer keyboard? What?
Chain: 6. If you had to pick, would you consider yourself a dog-person or a cat-person?
Ocean Elf: I have a definite answer to that, but not even sure you'd know it if you knew me well.
Chain: 7. What would you do with an extra $100,000?
Ocean Elf: well, since I don't have an extra hundred thousand and wouldn't tell you how I'd spend it if I did…
Chain: 8. What's the best thing you ever purchased?
Ocean Elf: Like I could actually categorize things that way… I've had a lot of bests and a few not-so-bests when it comes to purchases throughout my life, so…
Chain: 9. Would you rather lose your phone or the internet for a week?
Ocean Elf: Neither. What if someone from work sent me an important email? What if I had an emergency at home?
Chain: 1. Your next international trip will be paid for (standard, non-luxury accommodations.) One country only. Where do you go?
Ocean Elf: No such plans, no need to even speculate.
Chain: 2. Which will happen first: Dow 11,000, or Dow 15,000? Okay, Dow 10,000 or Dow 16,000?
Ocean Elf: What do you think I am, psychic? I don't know and I don't care.
Chain: 3. Oxford comma: yes, or no?
Ocean Elf: Well, since i don't live anywhere near it and am ot looking to change careers… But really, it's up to you whether or not you go there.
Chain: 4. Isn't it time we stopped minting pennies?
Ocean Elf: Isn't it time people stopped spreading blog memes?
Chain: 5. Can you teach people to change their financial habits, or is it like asking them to change their eye color?
Ocean Elf: Dunno. I've never tried it.
Chain: 6. Have you ever bought 89-octane gas? If so, why?
Ocean Elf: Ridiculous question not even remotely applicable to me.
Chain: 7. Which is the best national park in the system?
Ocean Elf: Dunno. Haven't been to every one to form an opinion. Even if I had, I would've found something special about every one, and maybe something lousy about each too. who knows? who cares?
Chain: 8. Do women seriously not care about looks?
Ocean Elf: Um excuse me - HEL-LO!? If you read any of my other chain-smashes, including those where both me and Beth smashed superficial, shallow-minded chain letters that went on about appearances, you'd know the answer to that one!
Chain: 9. Have you ever bought an IPO? If so, why?
Ocean Elf: Don't get your hopes up, I'm not buying one from you.
Chain: White grits or yellow?
Ocean Elf: If that's a round about way of asking where I'm located, you can forget it.
* * *
Chain: 1.) What was the first story you ever wrote? Spare no embarrassing details.
Ocean Elf: It wasn't a chain-smash. Likely something in school that I've forgotten, and by my standards now, best forgotten...
Chain: 2.) What's your favorite nonfiction topic to read about?
Ocean Elf: Meh, I got a few, not going into them here.
Chain: 3.) How much research do you feel like you need to do before you start a new story?
Ocean Elf: That all depends on the subject matter and how much I already know about it or don't know about it, you get the idea.
Chain: 4.) Writing challenges (ala Nanowrimo) – useful, or merely stress-inducing?
Ocean Elf: Stress. I prefer to write on my own time, in my own way, with no limits on time, number of words, pages, you get the idea.
Chain: 5.) Why do you write your main genre?
Ocean Elf: Because I wouldn't be me if I didn't.

Chain: 7.) What's your favorite movie-adaptation of a book?
Miss Ocean Elf: Dunno, actually.
Chain: 8.) What is your favorite type of cephalopod?
Ocean Elf: Huh? A sudden burst of randomness there. Why should I have a favourite cephalopod?
Chain: 9.) What is your writing tool of choice?
Ocean Elf: What - you're seriously asking me this? Does this smash look like it was written with a typewriter or fountain pen to you?
Chain: 10.) What are your feelings about the proper usage of whom?
Ocean Elf: Huh? I don't have "feelings" about it at all.
Chain: 11.) What are you doing to bring yourself closer to your writing goals?
Ocean Elf: Nothing specific since I don't exactly have writing goals. I have other things that need to get done, where I have a definite goal, but writing is for fun and to express stuff and smash chain letters.

Chain: 1. What snack (if any) do your prefer when writing?
Ocean Elf: Whatever's readily available that I like.
Chain: 2. What is your next major writing goal?
Ocean Elf: It's the same as always.
Chain: 3. How would you feel about your book being made into a movie?
Ocean Elf: Very cool as long as it followed the book to a tee. No taking liberties with the characters or else don't make it at all.
Chain: 4. What is your dream writing space?
Ocean Elf: Eh? I don't get this one.
Chain: 5. Where do you go to scope out ideas for characters and dialogue?
Ocean Elf: Nowhere. That stuff comes to me unexpectedly.
Chain: 6. What are you doing to become a better writer?
Ocean Elf: Reading.
Chain: 7. Do you outline before you start a novel?
Ocean Elf: Well it isn't exactly a novel, it's ongoing stories, and no outlining, just write when I have the time and the mind to.
Chain: 8. What was the last book you read?
Ocean Elf: Meh, I count online reading instead as reading, and the last thing I read, is this chain, since it's necessary to read it to smash it.
Chain: 9. What is your biggest distraction when you write and how do you deal with it?
Ocean Elf: Writer's block or anything/anybody needing my attention for whatever reason. How do I deal? Well, depends on the distraction.
Chain: 10. What is your favorite sentence you have ever written?
Ocean Elf: Huh? Why? I mean, really? I don't even have favourite quotations from other people so am certainly not going to pick something from my own writing.
Chain: 11. What should the title of my YA paranormal romance be?
Ocean Elf: I couldn't care less.
Chain: 1) What is your favorite color, and why?
Ocean Elf: Again? Sheesh. sked so many times in chain letter surveys, and answered.
Chain: 2) How many hearts have you broken in the course of your cold, heartless life?
Ocean Elf: Probably none.
Chain: 3) What is your favorite vacation spot, and why isn't it the Poconos?
Ocean Elf: *Makes horrible face* Poconos, really? That reminds me of somebody and their weird ideas and characters on a listserve I used to be part of, so, no thanks. As for favourite vacation spot, asked and answered before already.
Chain: 4) Do you buy lottery tickets? Explain the reasoning behind this choice.
Ocean Elf: Meh, same reason I don't participate in penny auctions. I don't like risking a very high chance of throwing money away.
Chain: 5) What is the next book you want to read, and why, if it isn't mine, isn't it mine????
Ocean Elf: Hahaha. I have no idea.
Chain: 6) Favorite grade in school? (Year, not letter grade – no bragging, smarty pants!)
Ocean Elf: Favorite grade - are you kidding me? I don't know. I was glad to graduate.
Chain: 7) What is the best dream you remember having?
Ocean Elf: A few of them, and I'm not going into detail now. Just too long, and, heck, that wouldn't be smashing this chain would it?
Chain: When in Rome, how do you act? If you've never been to Rome, how would you act? Penalty for going with the obvious answer.
Ocean Elf: what kind of penalty? Are you going to force me into gladiator combat? Heh, didn't think so.
Chain: Extreme penalty.
Ocean Elf: My question still stands, apparently.
Chain: 9) What are: your first pet's name, your mother's maiden name, and the last four digits of your social security number? If it helps you remember, you may provide the entire social security number.
Ocean Elf: Hah, forget it!
Chain: 10) What is your earliest memory of music?
Ocean Elf: I can't and wouldn't give you any specific first memory of music but I have quite a lot of pleasant ones from when I was little.
Chain: 11) Why?
Ocean Elf: Why what?
* * *
Chain: rules {because there is always rules}:
1. post these rules
2. post a photo of yourself & eleven random facts about you
3. answer the questions given to you in the tagger's post
4. create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them
5. go to their blog and let them know they have been tagged
Ocean Elf: Forget it. I'm not doing any of that, especially not attaching my pic.
Chain: 1. guiltiest tv pleasure?
Ocean Elf: Nothing.
Chain: 2. what is the strangest word/term anyone has used to land on your blog?
Ocean Elf: Nothing.
Chain: 3. one word to describe the teenage you?
Ocean Elf: younger… Duh.
Chain: 4. while were talking about the teenage you, who was your celeb crush back then?
Ocean Elf: Actually that was back before my teens, but I'm still not telling you. I mean, what would it matter in the grand scheme of things? You'll survive.
Chain: 5. what would you rather have... a chef? maid? or babysitter?
Ocean Elf: Neither.
Chain: 6. do you have a bucket list? if so, whats one thing on it?
Ocean Elf: I don't believe in that. Besides, I already smashed a meme concerning one of those on the page with the collection of never-ending random survey memes sort of like this one.
Chain: 7. a genie has granted you two extra hours each day. what will you do?
Ocean Elf: Wow! First time i've heard of a genie who can modify time! What an interesting idea for a fictional character, thanks!
Chain: 8. that genie sticks around... one wish. what is it?
Ocean Elf: i'd think that time thing would tire the genie out, so I wouldn't stick him/her with a wish yet too. Hanging around to be my friend is good enough, let her/him sleep, and then grant me a wish when he/she's refreshed. But my wishes are far too vast and profound, not to be confused with little desires and wants most people think of.
Chain: 9. are you a talk on the phone or text message type of gal?
Ocean Elf: Well since nobody calls unless they're either annoying telemarketers or else want something or to talk to someone else, and I don't have an accessible smart phone, I'd have to say neither. I mean, I can use my cell phone, but not for texting. It's rather ancient by today's electronc standards.
Chain: 10. ten years from now... where are you?
Ocean Elf: *Yawn* Blah blah blah, this again. As I said in the other smashes, I don't speculate about the future, at least, not that far into it.
Chain: 1- If you could live anywhere where would it be?
Ocean Elf: Asked and answered. Asked and answered already…
Chain: 2- You can only wear one kind of shoes for the rest of your life... what kind would it be?
Ocean Elf: Comfortable ones of course. But since that will never happen, I won't even bother to speculate. No matter what kinds of shoes I get in the future, they'll have to be comfortable.
Chain: 3- Something you do daily, that you'd rather not do?
Ocean Elf: Erm…Never you mind.
Chain: 4- What sites do you visit daily on line?
Ocean Elf: My own. It seems there's always something that needs editions and additions.
Chain: 5- Where is the "dumping zone," in your house?
Ocean Elf: Trash can, recycle bin - where else should it be?
Chain: 6- Favorite thing to make in the kitchen?
Ocean Elf: Food and drink, what else?
Chain: 7- Do you hope to make your blog a business?
Ocean Elf: Hah! I'd love it if I got paid for smashing chains, but that isn't likely!
Chain: 8- What are you afraid of?
Ocean Elf: Quit trying. you'll never get an answer.
Chain: 9- How do you feel about toilet seat covers?
Ocean Elf: Huh? Why should I feel anything at all about them?
Chain: 10- What do you do to stay fit?
Ocean Elf: Meh…
Chain: 11- Would you get plastic surgery? Where?
Ocean Elf:Bleh. I don't have a problem with the way I look.
* * *
Chain: 1. What color(s) would you paint your bedroom, if it's not already the color you want?
Ocean Elf: None of your business. Besides, you'll never set foot in it.
Chain: 2. What's the one thing you're wanting/waiting/saving up to buy right now that you really want?
Ocean Elf: I haven't made a decision yet.
Chain: 3. If you could start a business, what would it be?
Ocean Elf: I sure wouldn't mind getting paid to smash chain letters.
Chain: 4. Favorite classic video game (PRE-Playstation/N64 era)?
Ocean Elf: Sorry, not applicable.
Chain: 5. What's your dream car?
Ocean Elf: Not applicable.
Chain: 6. Favorite website (besides any social media site like Tumblr or Facebook)?
Ocean Elf: I guess that also discounts Chainsmashers since that, too, is a social network. Well then, probably my fiction writing site.
Chain: 7. Are you proud of yourself?
Ocean Elf: For what? Well, sometimes I am, and sometimes I'm not. It all depends on how well I succeed or how miserably I fail at various things.
Chain: 8. What's "wrong" with your body, clinically speaking (poor vision, high blood pressure, etc.)?
Ocean Elf: Um excuse me - that's none of your business.
Chain: 9. If you could steal a road sign to put up in your room, what would it be?
Ocean Elf: It wouldn't… because I wouldn't do such a moronic thing. Wasn't this covered somewhere in that other pile of random survey memes?
Chain: 10. Last game you played?
Ocean Elf: Huh? You're seriously asking me to remember that?
Chain: 11. WHAT'S YOUR SINGLE FAVORITE POKEMON?
Ocean Elf: None, actually, I saw some little figurine things of them once and thought they were all cute, but don't remember which ones they were specifically.
Chain: 1.) Where the hell is your left hand at the moment?
Ocean Elf: Since I'm using it to type along with my right hand, there's your answer. Duh.
Chain: 2.) What's your zodiac? Do you believe it suits you?
Ocean Elf: Roflol! Um, well, some people think it suits me, but I'm not telling you what it is. :p
Chain: 3.) What's the last television show you watched?
Ocean Elf: As of this writing - nah, I won't tell you that either…
Chain: 4.) Who would you want to go out on a date on (historical, dead, fictional, and celebrity persons included)?
Ocean Elf: Meh. Really, I just don't crush on people. Now if it was worded differently, as in, which of those I'd like to go out for coffee/lunch/dinner with, or heck, even shopping with, the list would be pretty long.
Chain: 5.) Do you believe in urban legends? If so, what're some of your favorites?
Ocean Elf: Lolololol Bwahahahahahahahaha! You're asking a chain-smasher this! No, I don't believe in them, but they are good inspiration for creative writing, especially when I can manage to make fun of them in the project and foist them on characters I dislike. *Wicked grin*
Chain: 6.) In what way has someone disrespected you in the past?
Ocean Elf: Ahem that's a bit personal isn't it?
Chain: 7.) What does your week ahead look like? Are you stressed?
Ocean Elf: Not stressed. It's going to be a good week.
Chain: 8.) Boom! You just got hit by lightning. What happens next?
Ocean Elf: I'd be burning in agony, or else instantly killed. Gah, let's not think about that. *Shudder*
Chain: 9.) If you woke up in the middle of the desert with nothing on but what you went to sleep in, what would you do?
Ocean Elf: Since I'd likely be bewildered and having no idea where I was or what to do about it, why would I have any idea about it now?
Chain: 10.) What songs do you usually sing to yourself? Come on, everyone does it.
Ocean Elf: Several that are on my Ipod.
Chain: 11.) You just won the ultimate getaway—to anywhere, fictional or otherwise. Where're you off to? Andwillyoubringmebackasouvenir?
Ocean Elf: Do you expect me to pick just one out of all the fictional settings I've ever read about? How about a round trip taking them all in?

Is Extreme Technique Hurting Artistry? Competitions Are Exciting Showcases, but Do They Emphasize Tricks over Ballet's Finer Points? Coaches, Teachers, Judges, and Artistic Directors Weigh In
Alfaro, Nancy, Dance Magazine
Jumps soar higher and higher. Legs fly up to ears. And pirouettes routinely come in fours--or more. Audiences gasp with excitement, and standing ovations are now standard fare. Is this the Olympics, the circus, or just ballet in the era of competitions? Critics, dance teachers, artistic directors, and competitors had ample opportunity this year to debate the impact of competitions. The recently concluded USA International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Mississippi, witnessed more virtuosity than ever before. So have renowned European competitions like Vama and the Prix de Lausanne, and newer competitions like Youth America Grand Prix.
While competitions are venues for discovering exciting young dancers, they are also a controversial topic among ballet's major players. The number of pirouettes a dancer does is quantifiable; how she flirts with her fan in Don Quixote is immeasurable. Judges confronted with Kitri variations need some basis for consistent evaluation. And this may explain why extreme technique has moved to center stage.
Artistry lies at the heart of the debate. Competitions emphasize perfecting an excerpt, not sustaining an entire performance. Steps are divorced from character or the piece's theme. Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet director Marcia Dale Weary feels many dancers who focus on learning variations for competitions are sacrificing artistry for technical prowess. She believes young dancers benefit more from being in the corps. "Working with other dancers as a team is what's necessary to artistic development," says Weary.
Nevertheless, many young dancers who compete say they learn a lot, and it polishes their performing skills. Seventeen-year-old Rock School student Kara Hanretty entered her first competition, Youth America Grand Prix, this past year. "In preparation, my teacher, Natasha Bar, would coach me almost every day for an hour, having me rehearse my variations over and over until every last detail had been corrected," she recalls. While Hanretty, who placed second in the senior women's contemporary division, admits competing can be stressful, she felt the experience helped her achieve a new facility. "I surpassed my limits," she says.
Not every teacher has Weary's approach, either. Stanislav Issaev, chair of the dance department at South Carolina Governor's School of the Arts and a well-respected competition coach, believes competitions help popularize ballet. "If a dancer sees someone do something technically amazing, and wants to do it, too, that advances the art form," he says.
Bo Spassoff, president and director of Pennsylvania's Rock School, is proud of his five students who won medals at the USA-IBC. "Today's dancers are amazing artists, and the technique bar has gone higher," he says. He believes this has made ballet a richer art form. "In some cases, more is more exciting," Spassoff says. "Dance is extremely compelling now because people can do different kinds of things."
When judging competitions, he looks for a combination of exceptionally clean technique and the ability to do things other dancers can't. "Judges are not unimpressed by that," he says. But he also says that he looks for what "grabs him" in a dancer. …

Mom 2.0 Summit 2015
Delighted to announce that Annabel Kelly has been invited to speak at next year's Mom 2:0 Summit, the premier event for mom bloggers and the brands that target them. Annabel will be sharing her perspective on conducting a robust (and cost effective) survey or poll to develop engaging content.
Reaching China's Digital Consumers
Annabel Kelly reports on the huge opportunities available to Western brands in China especially through e-commerce.
China is second only to the US for the size of its economy and imports. For some markets, however, China has overtaken the US. The Chinese car and light truck market is now bigger than the US market. What's more, the Chinese – with their increased wealth and diminishing trust in local brands – have a fast growing appetite for Western products especially those that are consumed in public such as fashion, cosmetics, personal technology, food and drink, movies, and automotive. In 2013, for example, 60% of all vehicles purchased in China were not homegrown brands, an increase from the previous year.
Big (Easy) Data
Surveys and polls can be a great way to provide a springboard for your brand. Few are aware of how easy and cost effective a professionally conducted survey can be. Following the success of her survey on parenting stress for the Clinton Foundation, Annabel Kelly provides pointers on how to design and report on an attention grabbing survey.
Every now and then you come across a brand that has perfectly tailored its offering to moms. A great example of this is Stew Leonard's, the Connecticut-based grocery store. Mom of two girls aged 6 and 4, Annabel Kelly, was recently treated to a behind-the-scenes look at Stew Leonard's flagship store on the invitation of Beth Hollis Leonard, vice president and daughter of the founder, Stew Leonard Sr. Annabel came away with insights for any retailer hoping to attract the patronage of parents.

I think that often times when people think of quiche they are actually thinking of this specific quiche. It's sort of the "quiche of quiches" if you know what I mean. It's also, when done right, the best quiche in my opinion. But, then again, it has bacon in it so that biases me pretty […]

It's absolutely amazing how The Bead Movement has changed my life. It's a continuous transformation into becoming my best self. I initially thought it would be a fun thing to do, something that would hold me in check so I don't forget to sincerely live every day of my life. It's been that, but a whole lot more.
Most of all it's been a way to find my path. Before, I professionally always went the conventional route; the way I thought and had heard this industry operates. Now, I have realized there is just as many ways as there are people, and by taking someone else's route won't lead me where I want to go. This year I have stepped up, but most of all, I have stepped out of the box. I am taking my route.
Personally I have gone from trying to live every day as fully as I possibly could, to find contentment, to live my days with meaning. I've stopped to view my life from a ego point of view, to instead try and see it through the eyes of how I can best live my purpose, and to not only serve the people around me, but also people in a wider sense.
This quote by Dr Martin Luther King Jr says it all:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Before I used to think that my purpose was to tell stories, and through those stories influence the world I live in. Now, it's not enough, I need to do more. I want to be someone who brings light and love to the world, just like Martin Luther King Jr calls for, not only through my stories but also through the way I live my life. I might seem overly pretentious and goody two shoes, but at the core of it all, that is what I believe I am here to bring, along with every other citizen in this world. It's just a matter of not being too comfortable, and to answer the call.

~You must cultivate the soil before you plant the seed~
(Chinese proverb)
It is said in order to grow a healthy crop one must prepare the soil before planting. Such is the case with a pregnancy. It is critical that one focus on the health of their body and make changes that will prepare their body to create a strong and healthy pregnancy. Chinese Medicine is not a therapy that can be rushed. Using Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine we expect three months to make a significant change in the body. It has also been shown that it takes an ovarian follicle approximately 90 days to fully develop. During that time the follicle quality (and eventually egg quality) can be influenced by the environment of the body.
Therefore the ideal situation would be to prepare your body for approximately three months before trying to conceive or do a cycle. That should include looking into dietary and lifestyle changes to support the goal of pregnancy. In addition to acupuncture another very powerful modality is the use of Chinese Herbs, which are optional.
TCM describes the female reproductive system as a network of energy systems. Each energy system has complementary organs and hormonal responses. This network is sensitive to stress, chemicals, lack of exercise, poor diet and excess emotions all of which can put the body 'out of balance'. A TCM practitioner will carefully determine the state of your imbalance(s) and prescribe an individualized program of herbs, acupuncture and diet to help you create the correct biological and emotional environment for increased success with fertility and pregnancy. Because Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture care is holistic – treating mind, body and spirit – it can often solve gynecological, obstetric and fertility challenges where other forms of medicine have little to offer.
Clinical trials have shown that Acupuncture treatment before and during IVF, and other fertility treatments, increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. In addition, Acupuncture appears to regulate fertility hormones which may contribute to follicle development and increased implantation.
Key points from recent studies of acupuncture for infertility:
- Acupuncture before IVF increases chances of conception by 65%
- A randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that the pregnancy rates more than doubled (15.6% to 33.6%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- A randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that miscarriage rates decreased (15.4% to 11.8%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- A randomized, prospective trial showed that a single session of acupuncture can increase the chances of pregnancy in infertile women.
- A randomized, prospective, controlled clinical study showed that implantation rates almost tripled (5.9% to 14.2%) for IVF/ICSI treatment when acupuncture was given.
- Using doppler ultrasonography, it was observed that acupuncture can lower arterial uterine blood flow impedance, a key to optimal endometrial receptivity.
- Clinical and experimental evidence shows that acupuncture has long-lasting benefits for women who suffer from polycystic ovaries syndrom (PCOS) andanovlulation.
- Acupuncture can benefit men who have abnormal sperm.
Stress Reduction with Acupuncture
Psychological stress can have a negative effect on couples facing fertility problems. Stress leads to the release of stress hormones and causes detrimental effects on mechanisms responsible for a normal ovulatory menstrual cycle.
The success of acupuncture for reducing stress and anxiety is due to its beta-endorphin releasing and sympathetic calming effects.
Stress causes the sympathetic nervous system to be over stimulated causing blood flow to be diverted away from the ovaries and uterus to the adrenals (stress coping gland). This can cause irregular cycles, lack of ovulation, and may lead to infertility.
Research has shown that the stress associated with fertility treatment can be at a level comparable to the stress associated with serious illness. Patients who seek emotional support early in treatment are often better prepared for their experiences and find it significantly less stressful than patients who do not.
Fertility Hormone Regulation with Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been known to control pain through stimulating the release of beta-endorphin. In addition, beta-endorphin works to influence the source of women's ovulatory and fertility hormones (the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis) and control hormones that regulate a women's ovulation and fertility that includes gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), follicle stimulating hormone (F.S.H.), luteinizing hormone (L.H.) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
It is used as an analgesic in the body to numb or dull pains. That is the reason why humans start to feel better immediately after an acute physical trauma even though the symptoms are still present. The reason the pain dulls is because it binds to and activates opioid receptors.beta-endorphin has approximately 80 times the analgesic potency of morphine. Beta-endorphin is believed to have a number of other benefits, including:
Promotes feelings of well-being
Increases relaxation
Boosts the immune system
Slows the growth of cancer cells
Acupuncture improves sperm count, motility, and morphology
According to statistics from the National Infertility Association (an organization also known as RESOLVE), between 35% and 40% of infertility problems among couples are actually caused by male conditions. A recent trial published in Fertility and Sterility has shown just how effective acupuncture can be in the treatment of this condition, leading to significant increases in the number of normal sperm and equally significant reductions in structural defects.(www.acupuncturetoday.com/archives2005/oct/10infertility.html)
Acupuncture Decreases the Chance of Miscarriage
Acupuncture relaxes the uterus, increases blood flow to the uterus, warms the uterus, increases the immune system, regulates the hormones and decreases stress, all increasing the chance for a sustained pregnancy.

Crossing the Bridge is a socially engaged project that operates at the intersection between anthropology, photography and film. Crossing the Bridge collects experiences from migrant communities living in New Zealand, opening up discussion about belonging, identity and community.
As part of First Thursdays, the two powerhouse women behind the project will be screening the Crossing the Bridge documentary, as well having booklets with biographies of migrants to New Zealand on display. Join them to learn about what brings people to our country and hear their stories.
Along with the video and texts, Crossing the Bridge will be hosting an interactive portrait space. They will be collecting stories of experiences where people have felt welcomed - whether that be welcomed into a country, neighbourhood or social space. It will be interactive, engaging and build up a mosaic of stories of Welcome - printing the studio shot image then and there and building up a portrait of the audience.
Make a beeline for 464 Colombo St to share a story and learn more about the multitude of wonderful migrants that make up our changing and growing country!
This event is generously hosted by Doc Ross at Gallery 464, with thanks to Canon.

The Connector
October 25, 2017
It's called the connector. The section of highway where I-75 and I-85 join together to pass through the booming metropolis of Atlanta. It is almost always congested, and it carries a lot of information, not unlike the building that used to rise above the north end of the massive swath of concrete. That's where the Equifax building used to be, and might still be. It, too, might be called the connector, because the American connection to consumer credit has generated a massive swath of information that runs through most human transactions. The building used to rise like a citadel from the hillside it occupied, keeping safe the vital numbers and names that enable our movement through the American financial infrastructure.
And then it got hacked. Again.
As reported in the NY Times and elsewhere, the sensitive data of as many as 143 million American consumers was breached in September. It wasn't the first time and is likely not the last. The reasons for Equifax's unusual vulnerability are many, but cybersecurity professionals have criticized their decision not to upgrade their security infrastructure after the previous breaches. Makes them an easy target again and again.
ICS: Connect, Detect, and Protect
When breaches like this are made public, the natural reaction should be to check your organization's own vulnerabilities. You have every reason to be concerned. Bigger fish have fried in times like these.
You also have every reason to call ICS. We work with organizations of all types and sizes. We assess vulnerabilities and test existing security measures as part of comprehensive efforts to keep your data and customers safe.

BOSTON — As the opioid epidemic ravages Massachusetts and the country, physicians from the Massachusetts Medical Society recently endorsed lobbying state and federal policymakers to pilot a first-in-the-nation state-run safe injection site program in Massachusetts.
At its annual meeting Saturday, the MMS membership adopted a policy that calls for "a pilot supervised injection facility program in the state, to be under the direction and oversight of the state" as well as wider use of naloxone and more treatment for substance use disorder. The policy calls for the organization to lobby for a federal exemption and state legislation to allow such a facility.
"It's counterintuitive that you would let someone inject in front of you unless you're really, really terrified they're going to die," Dr. Barbara Herbert, president of the Massachusetts Society of Addiction Medicine, said. "We're talking about people who are going to use, and we're talking about trying to create a space to keep people alive and maybe inject a little hope."
The American Journal for Public Health said safe injection facilities are "a place supervised by licensed health personnel where (people) inject drugs they obtain elsewhere. Facility staff do not directly assist in injection, but provide sterile injection supplies, answer questions on vein care and safer injection methods, administer first aid, and monitor for overdose." The MMS said such sites "have been associated with declines in serious illness and disease, including HIV and hepatitis C."
The MMS membership's vote at its annual meeting Saturday came after a task force compiled a 69-page report on the effectiveness of safe injection facilities, and the medical, legal and ethical issues surrounding such facilities. There are about 100 safe injection sites in nine countries, including Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia and Canada, according to the Drug Policy Alliance.
The MMS research team found a 35 percent decline in the number of fatal overdoses after an injection clinic opened in Vancouver, Canada, according to their report. In Australia, ambulance calls connected to overdoses dropped by 68 percent in the area around a clinic, the report found.
The MMS task force "determined that agreement exists that supervised places of treatment and medically-supervised injection facilities are in fact medical treatments, which offer an opportunity to engage some of the most vulnerable and difficult to reach individuals such as the homeless population who may prefer anonymity and often shun lifelong health contacts," the MMS report said. "The current opioid epidemic represents the greatest public health crisis our state and the nation has faced in recent memory. It will take a variety of aggressive ongoing efforts to change its course."
"The hope of the safe injection site is that we give people a place that is safe enough 1) that they don't die, and 2) that they begin to establish relationships and make it possible for them to get into care," Herbert said. She added, "It's not that we're condoning this and saying 'it's a good idea for you to shoot drugs.' We're saying in our community we don't want people to die if we can stop it."
Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds from the Family and Children's Association said he opposes safe injection sites because "inviting folks into a government office to fill their veins with one of most powerful narcotics on the planet feels an awful lot like we are giving up and just accepting rampant heroin use as a fait accompli."
The Department of Public Health reported in February that at least 1,465 people died of unintentional opioid overdoses in 2016, with another 469 to 562 suspected opioid-related deaths -- an estimated increase of between 13 and 24 percent from 2015 to 2016. There were 1,579 opioid overdose deaths in 2015 and 1,321 in 2014, according to DPH data.
The February DPH report, the most recent data available, also reported that the rates of deaths involving fentanyl -- a synthetic opioid prescribed for pain treatment that is also illicitly produced for abuse -- have grown at approximately the same rate that heroin death numbers have fallen in recent years.
Safe injection sites are illegal under state and federal law, and the MMS report acknowledges that before a pilot program could open it would need state legislation to pass "to allow for being in the presence of heroin" and an exemption from the federal Controlled Substances Act.
A bill (S 1081) that would allow supervised injection sites, filed by Sen. William Brownsberger, currently pends before the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery.
Gov. Charlie Baker, who serves on President Donald Trump's Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis, said last week he recently told Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders that "we need to think again about how we can be bigger and more aggressive about" the opioid epidemic.
Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera, in an interview that aired Sunday on WCVB's "On the Record," said Massachusetts needs more treatment beds available to people who are addicted to drugs and may need new laws to force people into treatment.
"You're going to have to make people go to recovery," Rivera said. "You arrest somebody using drugs - force them into a six-month program against their will. That's where we're at with this thing. This is worse than crack was. This is worse than the cocaine - all those things. This is worse because the fentanyl and heroin is so nasty."

Sounders Insider
One good thing about game: Those Sounders fans
As mentioned, the Sounders weren't happy about anything that happened on the pitch Sunday at San Jose.
("If you can point out who played well, feel free," coach Sigi Schmid told me at one point.)
However, the team was mighty impressed with those 200-or-so Sounders' fans, who chanted, sang and cheered for the full 90 in the northwest corner of that rickety little stadium.
"They kept it going," Schmid said. "They were great. That's why I was a little disappointed that not more of the players went over there at the conclusion of the game. But I know myself and (Brad Evans and Patrick Ianni) went over there. We appreciate their support and being able to stay behind us."
Sebastien Le Toux went over too, hands raised, applauding the efforts of those traveling Sounders' supporters.
"It is a tribute to our supporters even if we did a very bad game today," Le Toux said. "We need to support them too, because they were really behind us."

A garden wedding or a day-after brunch, drink stations are a lovely way to really get creative and interactive with your decor. How can you organize them?
