Click on the video to see the Glenbrook South High School marching band and of course Mrs. Santa Claus. Where does Santa hangout before Christmas? Most would say the North Pole but I have heard that Santa is actually hanging out in The Glen in Glenview.
The other day I saw a bus heading to The Glen from Glenbrook South High School. Santa was riding on top of the bus and I decided to follow.
The first place I saw Santa get off the bus was on the corner of Patriot Boulevard and Chestnut Avenue. Please keep in mind Santa was not dressed in his traditional garb. He was wearing a brown knit hat with a long sleeve navy crew neck sweater and a pair of jeans. You knew it was Santa with his rounded glasses and long white beard and mustache. He walked into The Chapel at Chapel Crossing.
I followed him in and saw him praying. I was proud to see Santa on his knees. All of a sudden he stood up. I moved as quickly as possible so he would not see me. He walked out of The Chapel and made a beeline across the street to The Glen Town Center. I stayed about thirty feet behind so he would not recognize that I was following him.
Does Santa Fancy Cuisine in The Glen?
Santa made a mad dash to RA Sushi Bar. I was watching him from the window as he had an assortment of Sushi. My immediate thought was Santa is watching his weight! I was proud of his choice. After a cup of tea Santa got up and left RA.
As he walked north in The Glen Town Center he crossed the street and walked into Eggsperience. I was able to get a table across the room from Santa but was still able to see what he was eating.
He started with a glass of orange juice followed by a large apple pancake. He was not done yet. A stack of buckwheat pancakes, a side of bacon, ham and hash browns. Santa can really pack it away. He finished with his dessert a Belgian Waffle drenched in maple syrup. Please Santa it's time to go back to the North Pole. But instead Santa crossed the street again and stumbled in to Your Pie a new pizza place in The Glen.
Is Santa the Heaviest Character in The Glen?
Santa's weight has been estimated between 250 pounds to a robust 1,030 pounds. Watching him digest food from four restaurants he could be tipping the scale closer to his high point.
At Your Pie, Santa took it easy and ordered a pan pizza with sausage, peperoni and spinach. He washed it down with a chilled glass of Root Beer. I was hoping that Santa realized that going down chimney's in a few days would not be easy gorging himself was not going to help.
Santa had reached the end of The Glen Town Center to the north and headed back south. With an unbelievable surprise he made a stop at Jos A Bank store for men.
Santa walked in the store but I was unable to see what he was doing. 10 minutes passed, then an hour. All I could think was – if this is a clothing store, not a restaurant, what was he doing?
He did leave the store with several packages in hand. Perhaps they were last minute gifts for a few 'nice' people he found while visiting the restaurants in The Glen.
As the day got shorter and night started to fall I looked up into the sky and there he was…
and I thought I could hear him bellow as his sleigh rose up into the bright moonlight: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Ho Ho Ho!" He must have been practicing!

Waters in all shades of blue, from light sky blue to turquoise, and gorgeous beaches drenched in white, golden or black sand pass in front of the user's eyes at TripInView.com, a site that offers a new way of choosing one's vacation. TripInView is an innovative application that provides documented video on the Mediterranean coastline countries from France to Spain, Italy and Greece and from Malta to Portugal. With dozens of hours of helicopter flights and a skilled crew filming the relevant shores, it offers a live, magical journey for the senses as the visitor can "visit" the coasts and beaches of the Côte d'Azur, the Italian Riviera, the Greek islands, stunning Malta and the inexhaustible Iberian Peninsula. At the same time, the application offers practical details about the aforementioned shorelines which are not presently available anywhere else.
TripInView's president, Achilles Chaztinikos, was kind enough to guide us through the inspiration and the applications behind the company.
-Can you describe what TripInView has documented to this day?
As of the 1st of May of this year, the website and the IOS app of TripInView depict the entire Mediterranean coastlines of Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Malta and Portugal. The view is inch-by-inch, without any gaps, taken from a helicopter, in high-definition video (full HD) and with ultra-high resolution photos.
-How did you conceive of the idea of TripInView? To go up in a helicopter and record video of the shoreline, beginning with the beaches of Greece?
The idea was born in 2011, when a German friend asked my co-founder, Vangelis Kasimatis, about his ideas and tips for holidays he intended to take that summer in Greece. My partner, besides written notes and instructions, decided to enrich his proposals with photos and video for the pertinent destinations. There, he quickly realized that with the exception of some well-known landmarks (points of interest such as beaches, anchorages, marinas, villages, etc.), even in the most famous destinations of Santorini, Mykonos, and Corfu, there weren't any quality photos and video to speak of. So, I came up with the idea of covering the gap with videos and photos, to be taken from a helicopter, in order to create a comprehensive visual archive of the Greek coastline. After a thorough investigation, we found there wasn't a holiday destination in the world offering any visual material. Based on this dearth of material, we created the unique and original idea of synchronizing the video with photos and offering this material (visual content) on the internet for free and, as such, after 3 years of hard work, we arrived at TripInView.
-What exactly can the user see of each specific beach, apart from its "live" beauty? Is there any information about hotels, restaurants, campsites, etc. of the region?
At the moment, TripInView has 600,000 helicopter photos and 250 hours of video from the Mediterranean coastline, covering 339 destinations and containing 7,727 points of interest such as beaches, anchorages, marinas, ports, villages and cities. For all this material, there are numerous maps and texts where one can locate, for example, all the 4 and 5-star hotels with this number growing daily as a "pin your hotel on our photos" option is open and free of charge to all hoteliers.
-How does TripInView work for the everyday user?
When a visitor enters the site, he can see photos and videos of desired places, destinations and countries in three ways:
(a) if one knows the name of the destination (for example, the Ionian island of Lefkada in Greece) and its location on a map, one can click the icon "map search" and look into anything he chooses;
(b) if only the country of preference is known, the "build your trip" option can be selected along with a combination of filters (for example, family style, luxury, or romantic) and the site will suggest places that meet the chosen criteria;
(c)a third option is to choose from "our picks." Overall, the site is easy to use, even for those who simply want to view videos and photos for their own inspiration, even if just to dream.
-Last year you began from the Greek coastline. What impact did it have? Do you have any statistics on the site's traffic?
It is still too early to speak about statistics and traffic. Surely, our numbers are impressive for a fresh site but what is even more encouraging is the fact that, in the first 2 months since its release, TripInView saw visitors from 172 different countries, and all this without any communication or advertising. Even more importantly, the time spent and pages per visit have already reached a level that is three times the average in its category.
-After Greece, what convinced you that enlarging TripInView to include other European coasts would be fruitful?
Greece's beaches were our first major (pilot) project. From the beginning, the idea was to present the country's total shoreline. And I cannot deny that we are already thinking of extending our coverage to the country's lakes, rivers and mountains and, generally, to any interesting point on Earth.
-Are the coasts of the Caribbean in your plans?
Rightly so. The Caribbean is very high on our list of priorities.
-Has any interest in (the purchase of) your start-up been shown by any major international company?
No, it is not something that is in our medium-term plans or objectives. It is, I think, very early even to provoke the interest of the big international players. We are discussing, however, and intend to continue to discuss with private investors (such as equity funds) about the possibility of acquiring a minority participation.
-Is TripInView similar to Google Maps, simply centered around beaches and tourist destinations?
No, TripInView is not at all similar to Google Maps or Google Earth. TripInView begins where Google Earth ends and with a very big difference. Apart from the actual photos and video, it has synchronized the video with the photos. If you seek a true comparison, it would be safe to say that it is closer to Google Street View, but for a shoreline rather than a road and from the viewpoint of a helicopter rather than the height of the human eye.
-What are your future plans for TripInView?
The Turkish coastline is our next immediate project. The continuous enrichment of the site's content is our goal along with the development of any potential revenue sources. The provision of this unique visual material (providing the content as a paid service) to other interested parties is in our sights. We see this as a unique and original material which we would like to share with anyone who wants to exploit it. For example, we are in advanced discussions with various national and local tourist agencies in some of the countries for which we have produced filmography and photography. Their interest has been truly overwhelming.
-Does this app require passion?
Yes, lots of passion, indeed!

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost (Year B)
Sentences, adapted from Psalm 111
Praise the Lord! Holy and awesome is his name!
We shall give thanks to the Lord with our whole hearts,
Together as one voice and as one congregation!
Great are the works of the Lord, full of honor and majesty!
The righteousness of God endures forever.
The hands of the Lord are faithful and just.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
All who practice it have good understanding.
The praise of the Lord shall endure forever.
The glory of God shall last a lifetime.
Prayer of Confession
Sustaining Lord and everlasting Father,
You are the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation.
We confess before you the many times
When we have eaten from another table,
When we have filled our bellies with evil, and
When we have caused suffering upon others.
Have mercy on us, God.
Pour out your Spirit and harvest for us your grace,
That we may give thanks to you
At all times and in all places,
In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Assurance of Pardon, from Ezekiel 36:25-26
The Lord shall never refuse you.
The Son of God shall never send you away.
Says the Lord, "I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
Prayer for Illumination
Sung response: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence," verse 1
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth
Our full homage to demand.
Gracious God,
We do not live by bread alone,
But by every word that comes from your mouth.
Make us hungry for this heavenly food,
That it may nourish us today
In the ways of eternal life,
Through Jesus Christ, the bread of heaven. Amen.

The uncanny similarity between the brand's origin with your life is simply unmistakable. Several vapor brands are purely induced by passion and love for the profession. However, one brand that truly stands out would be this one right here.
A young boy named Charlie lurking around the city distributing rocks, zucchinis and what not, is fascinated by the enormous bell his father used to ring as a solicitor whenever his customers are happy with his services.
As astonishing as the story already is, the father is said to deal with a product called electricity, and later the relationship blossomed so much that the product became a worldwide phenomenon.
Both of them never measured their happiness with the actual sale of products. Instead, they used the weight of the first-hand impression of their customers against their goal of customer satisfaction. His father went on to pursue his dream of opening up a joint, named it Charlie's and the bell was retired and forfeited by a chalkboard where his father wrote about the fresh recipes. The boy ran away from school under the influence of that bell and started his own venture of selling newspaper and one fine day, rang that chalk dust struck bell, as loudly as he can.
So, that's where it all started, and now Charlie's chalk dust e juice reverberates throughout the nation.
There are many flavors that Charlie's chalk dust e juice, USA offers. However, the below mentioned are the best among the best.
- Jam Rock: Rich of sweet and sour apple juice suckers that you have always craved for.
- Slam Berry: Fresh strawberries mixed with ice cream and ripened with wine.
- Big Belly Jelly: watermelon flavored candy paired with a jelly juice bean and you got yourself a treat.
- CCD3: The smoothness of creamy caramel melting right down your throat drizzled with sea salt and vanilla ice cream.
- Honey Badger: Honey and tobacco are like Adam and Eve without the apple part.Grab your pick and vape on the go.

The De Wolfe production library has supplied royalty-free stock music to such illustrious shoestring auteurs as Terry Gilliam and George A. Romero. De Wolfe's memorable mall-music tune from the 1978 Dawn of the Dead, "The Gonk," had me wondering about the title, and sent me on a trip back to 1965.
Gonks, apparently, were novelty doll-toys of a generally round shape with a fused head-body and assorted limbs. Almost forgotten now, they inspired an early British rock film ...
and, perhaps, one of my favorite monsters from the gonzo SPI mini-universe surrounding the Swords and Sorcery, Citadel of Blood and Deathmaze games: The Cronk.
This counter from Citadel of Blood shows a furry, two-footed, hassock-like creature with middling hit dice (1+1) and a decent attack value (4). (How these armless wonders can field archers, spearmen and cavalry in the Swords and Sorcery wargame is something I don't quite get ...)
The rules also tell you that "Cronks have a stench that may sicken a character." So, the troglodyte niche, but so very much cooler.
Attack: 1d6 bite
Special: stench
Cronks are foul, furry creatures that live in abandoned tunnels, dank swamps, and dark woods. Where prey is small, they exist in groups of two to five, but larger mobs are known to assemble where large creatures can be brought down. They have a malicious intelligence that cannot be put to full use because they lack hands. Nevertheless, their fanged bite is a nasty weapon. Also, they have a stench that may sicken others; any character who comes within a 10' radius of a cronk for the first time that day must save (Poison/ Fortitude/ Body/ CON) or be incapacitated retching for one combat round, and -2 to hit for 3 rounds after that.
This jolly character from Citadel of Blood was "Raman Cronkevitch" ...a demi-cronk. Yeah, why don't you let that one sink in for a while.

We had some of these (or a knock-off version) when I was a kid. For some crazy-ass, trying to be weird reason, I made them an available race in the one Runequest campaign I ran. No-takers.

Stocks Going Down? No Problem!
Over the past few articles, I've talked about how to collect instant income, especially as it concerns the stock market.
I've illustrated how you can receive upfront income just for your promise to buy a specific product for a specific period of time at below-market values.
But did you know those payouts can fluctuate when there's a little bit of panic in the air?
It's true! You can watch me get on my computer and execute the exact "promise" I've been taking about it.
Alright, let me explain why we like volatility…
Typically, when the stock market drops, investors lose all sense of emotional stability and start to bail on their investments like rats from a sinking ship.
Many times, this market action feeds on itself and creates heightened volatility, which causes stocks to have larger price swings than normal.
That sounds stressful, no doubt, but I assure you that's a good scenario.
Because, when it comes to your promise, you'll get paid more during those volatile times.
And, in fact, I can almost guarantee you won't be afraid of the down-moves anymore. You'll relish it.
There's actually a way to calculate how much more money you can collect when volatility is higher.
Let's say volatility is factored at 25. When we plug that into our formula, we see that we can collect $25 upfront for promising to buy a $100 product for $75. We're held to this promise for eight months.
But what if volatility is a little higher? Say, 27? Well, turns out we'll get $35 upfront for the exact same promise under the exact same terms.
There are very simple calculators out there that can give you all the data, but the core idea is right there: When the going gets volatile for prices, we can make more money. And this is all because of perceived future price fluctuation! It might not even happen!
In the end, we're still happy to buy the product at $75. We're just getting paid more money this time around. Not bad, eh?
To reiterate, heightened volatility in the stock market usually coincides with downturns. Embrace it, and use it to your advantage.
No need to fear the bear!

Once a year, my school provides a Professional Development Seminar for postdocs and late-stage PhD students. It's a lottery to get in, and this year I got a spot in the class. I was really excited about this opportunity – the class is taught by professional (of course) teachers, and is only open to 12 people, to keep the setting personal and interactive.
I wasn't sure what to expect out of the workshop. As I understand it, companies in industry will sometimes provide these programs to their employees, to develop them for management. The program that I participated in, however, was a program normally geared for professors.
I didn't know that there were development seminars aimed at professors – and man, what a good idea. The skills involved in being a professor are quite different that the skills needed as a student, even a PhD or postdoc student. You have to run a lab, write grants, and most importantly – manage students. New PIs hardly ever know how to manage students effectively. It also makes sense that if professors need training, then postdocs and PhD students could also benefit. Why not teach them the skills BEFORE they need it, not AFTER, right?
So it was with anticipation that I looked forward to the day of the class. The title of the workshop was, "Leadership and Management Skills Training," and it was held over two long days of a weekend. I was especially curious what the content would be.
I was pleased to find that for some sessions, I already had a handle on the content. In particular, the session on "expressing your goals" I did very well on, because I've taken entrepreneurship classes, where the whole point there is to distill your message into a clear, inspiring pitch.
The session I found most interesting was one on the different types of leadership. You take a survey, and it tells you which of three management styles you most naturally fall into. The three styles were Task Oriented, Individual Oriented, and Team Oriented. Those are fairly self-explanatory, but just to illustrate, here was one of the questions from the survey.
In a meeting, the leader should:
A) Focus attention on the agenda.
B) Focus attention on each person's feelings, in order to help the members express their emotional reactions to the issue
C) Focus attentions on the different positions members take and the ways they deal with each other.
Those three answers correspond to Task, Individual, and Team leadership styles, respectively.
Now, I didn't even realize that there WERE any other options besides A). Not surprisingly, eleven out of twelve engineering students were Task Oriented leaders. Because, well, engineers are trained to be problem solvers.
In the end, I think that the class was very useful for students who had never had exposure to management classes at all. But it was very basic, and because I've taken a handful of courses in the business school at my university already, I felt like I didn't really learn much. Perhaps that's good (I'm already learning skills!) or maybe that's just arrongant, but either way I'm glad I took the class.
Does your company, or school, offer any opportunities for professional development? Do you think they should, or have you learned everything you need on your own?

Hollywood and the 24 Hours of Le Mans have a relationship that stretches back more than 40 years.
The late Steve McQueen starred in the 1971 film titled, Le Mans, which utilized footage from the 1970 race at the Circuit de La Sarthe, with sports car legends Jo Siffert and Brian Redman driving the car McQueen is depicted as racing in the film.
McQueen clearly had an affection for motorsports, as did Paul Newman, another Hollywood superstar. Newman competed in the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Dick Barbour Racing Porsche alongside co-drivers Rolf Stommelen and Dick Barbour. Newman and his teammates finished second overall and first in class, an impressive performance in what would be Newman's only attempt at Le Mans.
Today's resident Hollywood motorsports enthusiast is Patrick Dempsey, star of "Grey's Anatomy" and many popular films. Dempsey has been an active participant in sports car racing for nearly a decade, racing in both the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and the American Le Mans Series.
This weekend, he will join longtime co-driver and motorsports business partner Joe Foster and Porsche factory driver Patrick Long in the No. 77 Dempsey Del Piero-Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR in the GTE Am class. The trio is the only all-American driver lineup in the 90th Anniversary 24 Hours of Le Mans.
And true to his Hollywood roots, cameras will be rolling throughout for a four-part documentary series to air later this summer on Discovery's Velocity channel in the USA.
"A lot of our documentary is about McQueen and Newman and their passions for racing," Dempsey said. "I think that's what we share; a real love for racing, a real love for this event, and I really want to do well."
Dempsey's chances of doing well will be enhanced by the addition of two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and five-time ALMS champion Long to the driver lineup. The Porsche factory driver turned the third-fastest lap in the GTE Am class at the one-day Le Mans pre-test on 9th June, and likes what he sees in his first time as teammates with Dempsey and Foster.
"The pre-test here wasn't the easiest day with mixed conditions and a lot of rain, so we didn't get a ton of track time, but both of them got right up to speed," Long said. "Honestly, I think we've taken a lot of the fellow competitors by surprise.
"A lot of guys have come up to me that I've raced against or with in the past, and they didn't have us as the favorites in the class or one of the favorites. Seeing Joe and Patrick's pace in the pre-test, they've sort of adjusted their odds."
Dempsey and the team have some momentum on their side heading to Le Mans. He came within a lap of his first career victory in the ALMS GTC class alongside co-driver Andy Lally in the No. 27 Tully's Coffee Porsche 911 GT3 Cup before finishing second.
That performance was a shot in the arm for the team, which raced in the ALMS P2 class last year before switching to a two-car Porsche effort in GTC shortly before the start of the 2013 season.
"Definitely the program this year has taken a step up in terms of our relationship with Porsche and ALMS and at Le Mans," said Foster. "We had a pole position [at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida in March] and both cars led for quite a while at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
"Patrick (Dempsey) did a fantastic job early in the race coming back from two laps down and it gave Andy a chance to win. We actually started the last lap in the lead and got helped off the road by a prototype, but it's been a great year."
If things go according to plan this weekend, it could be an even greater year for Dempsey and the team. But regardless of performance, Dempsey cherishes the Le Mans experience.
"It's an incredible honor to be over here, to be invited to race in this event," he said. "I think anybody who's a road racer wants to race here. Having done it in the past and coming back and doing it with an all-American driver lineup with Patrick Long and Joe Foster and with a great team at Dempsey Del Piero-Proton, it's a tremendous honor.
"It means everything to us. It's humbling, it's exciting, it's inspirational and it's so moving to be a part of this event. It's a dream come true to come back here."
The TV crew filming Patrick Dempsey at Le Mans 2013 are staying at the Travel Destinations Flexotel Village in the centre of the circuit.

Referred Shoulder Pain
What is Referred Shoulder Pain?
Even when there is nothing wrong with your shoulder, several structures in your anatomy can cause shoulder pain when they are injured. This is called referred shoulder pain.
Causes of Referred Shoulder Pain
The neck and upper back are the most common areas of the body that—when injured—may cause referred pain to the shoulder. Some of the more common conditions which may cause this pain include: disc herniation or degeneration, facet joint sprain, and postural syndrome.
Referred Shoulder Pain Symptoms
People with referred shoulder pain typically experience a dull ache in the shoulder that is poorly localized and may vary in severity or location. They may also experience pain or stiffness in other locations in the body such as the neck, upper back, arm, or forearm. In some cases, they may not experience symptoms at the originating injury location.
Referred Shoulder Pain Treatment
In order to treat referred shoulder pain, the originating injury must be diagnosed and treated. This diagnosis will be made by the chiropractor and may include special testing such as an MRI, CT scan, or X-ray. Treatment options can include chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage therapy at our Loveland office. The chiropractor will help determine what type of treatments and modalities are appropriate for you.

When you place your valuables in self-storage, you need to look for some advice on how to keep them as safe as possible. This should be done if you are using your storage for your shoes or for your rare book collection. The possessions you have in the storage facility will generally be less vulnerable than in your home because of the security of these facilities.
Self-storage facilities will have CCTV monitoring the units and many facilities have live-in security. However, there are also opportunistic thieves who know that the pickings are good in these facilities. The problem is that once they have access to your unit, there is nothing stopping them. A well-managed facility will focus on security, but you also need to take some steps.
It would be common sense to take some precautions when it comes to keeping your valuables safe. If you are going to be storing your items long-term, you want to ensure that nothing bad happens to them. You can ensure this by knowing how to minimise the risk of theft.
Safe and Sound
Placing your possessions in self-storage is a good step to keeping them safe. However, something that you will want to avoid is getting the items back damaged because they were not prepared correctly for their time in storage. This is why you need to look at packing and boxing everything in your unit correctly to ensure that no damage is done to them.
Keep a Record
It is recommended that you create an itemized inventory of all the items you will place into your storage unit. This is particularly important if you are going to regularly use the unit and will access it frequently. You should not only record the item, but the replacement value as well along with the serial number of any electronic items. Once this has been completed, you will be able to use it should you make a claim against theft, damage or fire.
Lock It Securely
When it comes to securing your goods, you need to take some responsibility. In most storage facilities, a good padlock and chain will be enough to keep your goods safe. They are also the most essential deterrents when it comes to thwarting theft. The lock that you get should be one that is tamperproof and will be able to withstand a challenge from wire and bolt cutters.
Any good storage facility will also offer layers of security for your items. You need to consider if there is any perimeter fencing in place as well as the construction of the entry and exit gate. You need to find out what video surveillance is being used because a video recording can help to identify and apprehend a thief that tries to gain access to your unit.
The Environmental Protection
Before you rent a unit, you need to ask the facility about the measures that are in place to keep out any harsh climate extremes. There are some items that you have which could benefit from climate controlled storage units, especially the more expensive items such as Babyfoot tables. The rental unit that you look at should offer adequate protection from the elements and ideally have a climate control system in place. Cheaper facilities will generally look at cutting costs, but you should not allow your goods to be damaged by mold and mildew to save some money on rentals.
Plan for All Eventualities
The best-laid plans that you have can still go wrong, even if you have followed all the advice you can find. This is why you need to insure the goods you have in storage for all eventualities. This will need to include theft, fire, and other damage.

Environmental Economics and Policy Making in Developing Countries
Current Issues
Edited by Ronaldo Seroa da Motta
Chapter 3: Valuing statistical lives
David Pearce
David Pearce INTRODUCTION: THE IMPORTANCE OF RISK VALUATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL COST–BENEFIT STUDIES Environmental cost–benefit studies include as benefits any reductions in the risks of premature mortality and morbidity. In turn, changes in the risks of health 'end points' are given economic valuations based on the willingness to pay (WTP) of those at risk to reduce the risks. Valuations may vary with the level of risk and certainly vary with the health state that is avoided, for example, people are more averse to cancer risks than risks of accident. One feature of these cost–benefit studies is that health benefits tend to dominate overall benefit estimates. Accordingly, if the basis on which the health benefits are estimated is incorrect, then the overall cost–benefit result is very likely to be incorrect. It matters a great deal, therefore, if the underlying epidemiology is correct and if the economic valuation applied to the health effects is correct. This chapter provides an overview of the issues as they relate to premature mortality only. It is designed as a background paper on the debate about the appropriate way to treat life risks in the context of environmental change. It does not seek to produce any new results, being designed mainly for reference and as a guide to the issues. Table 3.1 shows the role that health benefit valuation has played in some recent European cost–benefit studies. It can be seen that the overall...

Drake Revealed The Reason Why He Cancelled Two Concerts In A Candid Instagram Story
Miami-area Drake fans received some disappointing news last week, when the rapper cancelled two consecutive shows along his Aubrey and The Three Migos tour (which he shares with the hip-hop trio) not long before they were scheduled to begin. Those still wondering why Drake cancelled his two recent concerts at Miami's American Airlines Arena will probably want to check out the musician's latest Instagram Story, where he apologized for the sudden cancellations and offered a little bit more insight into what was going on with him at the time.
In a lengthy message to fans early Sunday morning, Sept. 23, Drake explained what actually led him to cancel those shows in Miami last week. Contrary to an initial report from TMZ Friday afternoon, which claimed the cancellations were due to production complications, the rapper's latest comments reveal the issue was, comparatively, much more serious.
"I just wanted to say how sorry I am about these two Miami shows," he wrote, starting off Sunday's message. That said, the message's next sentence suggests Drake probably shouldn't need to apologize too much for the cancelled shows, since it sounds like the circumstances were pretty much entirely out of his hands.
"I got so ill so fast and I had never experienced anything like that in my life," he explained, before continuing on to acknowledge those hopeful concertgoers who might've felt upset by the cancellation news. To that end, Drake wrote,
"Unlike other show cancellations or date adjustments due to production issues this one fell on me and I just want to apologize because I hate letting down anyone who come to share these moments with us."
Again, Drake shouldn't need to apologize for getting sick. (It happens to the best of us, after all.) That said, if there were any doubts to the contrary before, Drake's new message assures he's definitely not letting his fans down. Much to the probable relief of any scorned concertgoers, his message also confirmed that last week's shows weren't really cancelled, just postponed. "Miami deserves 100 percent and I promise that experience when we return," he told fans in Sunday's message. As several outlets have noted, Drake's Miami tour dates will be rescheduled for Nov. 13 and 14, respectively.
Regardless of the rescheduled tour dates, it seems the state of Drake's health is the most important thing to keep in mind here. After reading through the rest of his message, it sounds like he is currently on the mend. (Thanks to a pair of Miami doctors and a nurse who "helped [him] with round the clock care," according to the rapper's IG message.) So at least fans can rest assured that there's no longer cause for concern, as far as the rapper's physical wellness goes.
Concluding Sunday's message, Drake offered some words of gratitude to his higher power before leaving the likes of social media with a triumphant parting thought. "Thank you god for allowing me to recover and continue. On we go," he finished.
So, while the tour's Miami ticket holders might be feeling a little sullen right now (what with the rescheduled tour dates nearly two months away, and all), perhaps they can at least take solace in knowing that Drake is OK, in good health, and getting ready to return to the stage. Here's to wishing him an entirely illness-free rest of the year.

Navy Veteran, Dustin Johnson, will be attempting to become the first American to ever circumnavigate the globe running. In addition, he will be the youngest in the world, the first American solo, the fastest 20-29 in the world, and potentially the fastest overall. Dustin has to run 16,300 miles, ocean to ocean, across four continents. This world run is dedicated to suicide awareness and prevention. #22aday
Friday, May 10, 2019
Day 10
Total Trip Miles: 281.75
Today was suppose to rain most of the day. Luckily I only got a very short period of it half way through the run. Other than that it was very muggy and warm. Had to keep a long sleeve shirt on due to some possible blisters forming on my arms, (yes, I sunscreen)
I was blessed to have been stopped by David Hamm and his wife! Lovely people, and such kind hearts! They filled me up with ice and water, even got me a Gatorade. They had got a huge bag of jerky at Branson and they had a tin of homemade crackers and so generously gave them to me. Thank you so much for being so kind to me and helping me along the way!
Just a few miles before stopping for the day I was stopped by a local journalist which was very kind and supportive. She asked simple questions and didn't keep me to long. If you live local near Fayetteville you will find my story in your paper very soon!
It's suppose to rain, so the local police station is letting me stay at a park under a pavilion since it has a roof. Food for tonight will be some tuna and crackers I have in my box.
Tomorrow I'll make my way to Huntsville which was the reason for the change of route. The military base in town there. It'll be about 32-33 miles and there has already been a very kind offer to help me out once I get there whether it's food or shelter I'm not sure but I'll be very thankful for anything!
Tonight it's calling for rain all night and most of the day tomorrow.
For my vets,
If your down and out
You sleep all the time and eat very little
You are missing that sense of purpose you once had
The connections with your brothers and sisters in arms
I challenge you to wake up, get a good solid meal in, and reach out to the community. It can be a shelter, it can be a local race, it can be for other vets, it can be for anything. But I promise you once you take those steps towards helping those around you, you will find yourself again! Stay true to who you are and don't forget that those who have fallen before you are looking down from above trying to help you stay strong!

Dustin I welcome you to my home! You are doing a wonderful endeavor! Tomorrow there is food, shower, laundry, and a bed waiting for you.ReplyDelete
I feel for you and that sunburn! You are doing great! I am so proud of your accomplishments so far and how humble you are with all the generous people helping you out! You're message is getting the attention it so deserves! I will continue to pray for you! Carry onReplyDelete

Sorry for no updates for such a long time. The past days were crazy, unfortunately it got nothing to do with my blog nor with fashion as I had a crazy time preparing for the exams. However things are changing drastically as I have made a bunch of plans for the coming months and the countdown is already on the go.
Okay, and actually I had a great Friday this week as I took on modeling job again for Loulu Et Tu. The first time I modeled for them was some years ago and I made some backstage shots back then too. (check the post here) On the past Friday was my third time wearing those delicate clothes and rocking the runway during the private evening presentation. I am thinking of publishing the runway shots that I snatched from the local press and showing it to you tomorrow. Anyway, grab a cup of coffee and check the photos now!

We had a very snowy March which is great for the lakes, summer flowers

We have had the usual sporadic visits by Moose, and there are always Red Fox tracks in the parking lot, sometimes heading up exterior stairs to check for items left outside hotel room doors.
Avid Winter activity enthusiasts kept us busy throughout the month, enjoying the deep powder that the March snowstorms brought. The final week of March delivered some 50 degree
Think about an April weekend getaway or May break. Everyone should really visit the Rapids Lodge and Grand Lake in every season.
It will be interesting to see what happens with spring-melt and the Tonahutu river. Will it melt early or late? Will there be a huge deluge with sudden warm temperatures or a more gentle melt?
We feel our own sense of excitement with the onset of Spring although it will be a while before the grass is green and the Aspen leaves burst forth.
Visit the Rapids Lodge, a Grand Lake Lodge with history!

Unique Venues and Transformative Spaces: Enclave Las Vegas
From black box spaces to renovated castles to cinemas, there are unique and transformative spaces around the globe. This ongoing series of articles will highlight a few of the many options available for corporate events.
The ability to take a blank slate and make it something amazing, unique and memorable is many planners' dream. Enclave, a venue located just minutes from McCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip, offers you the ability to brand to your heart's desire without needing to worry about infrastructure, permits and individually sourced suppliers.
Enclave is a three story, 45,000 square foot multi-purpose special events venue that can hold up to 2,500 attendees. The venue offers 17 meeting rooms that range from 147 sq. ft. to the 9,000 sq. ft. Signature room, which can hold up to 900 attendees seated. A 5,000 sq. ft. rooftop and the 90,000 sq. ft. parking lot provide options for outdoor events and receptions as well — and can even be used for fairs and festivals.
David Watts, Enclave's executive director, said that Enclave appeals both to groups who have held many events in Las Vegas and are looking for something different, and to those who want space close to but not in the thick of the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas Strip. But the thing that is most unusual and appealing about the space is its ability to be transformed.
"There are so many options for creativity in how you can present products, services and ideas to your clients," Watts said.
As opposed to a typical venue, Enclave's walls are all white, perfect for Gobo projections and lighting. Groups don't even need to rent screens: they can opt to project directly on the walls, opening up options for more creative room sets. The floor is also neutral — no patterned, brightly colored carpeting.
One benefit of holding an event at Enclave is the technology. Connectivity is literally built into the walls in the form of a fiber-optic network, enabling groups to easily share presentations and live broadcasts between rooms without the time and extra expense of running additional wires and cables. The venue also contains video walls, including a wall in the large entry foyer space.
Enclave can also be used for recording green screen productions and interviews. The Signature room's walls and ceiling are designed with the perfect acoustics in mind. The venue is also equipped with a production room, green room and dressing rooms.
Planners hosting events at Enclave can leverage the venue's sister company, 3G Productions, for one-stop production and audio-visual needs, plus contract labor. 3G has an office onsite at Enclave, eliminating worries about last-minute equipment needs.
Watts also said that planners have multiple options for catering. There is a full-service kitchen on property, and food trucks can also be brought into the parking lot.
Enclave also has 400 free parking spots (a rarity in Las Vegas these days) and offers complimentary WiFi throughout the venue.
The way Watts described Enclave, anything is possible.
"We can fly drones. We have shooting LED sparklers. We have elephant doors that open up into the Signature room: they're 15 feet high by 11 feet wide, so you can drive huge vehicles into the space. We have 40 tons of rigging capacity in there too — you can hang a train from the ceiling," he said.

Quantity of Product and the Defendant's Intentions Are Relevant
Drug trafficking criminal charges are a world apart from other types of drug crimes like drug possession. Due to the severity of a drug trafficking charge, all drug trafficking charges are felonies. Drug trafficking charges in Michigan are taken very seriously by prosecuting attorneys. For instance, a marijuana-related drug trafficking conviction carries a four-year maximum sentence. A drug trafficking conviction, such as intent to deliver or distribution, relating to other types of illegal drugs carries a maximum sentence from more than 25 years to life depending on the quantity seized. Unlike with first-time drug possession charges, criminal court judges are more likely to order sentences that approach the maximum allowable sentence.
Get an Expert Drug Trafficking Defense
A savvy criminal defense lawyer can successfully fight drug trafficking charges. How? The answer in every case depends on the defendant's unique circumstances. At the Schwartz Law Group, in Birmingham, AV-rated* attorney Steven L. Schwartz has over more than 20 years' experience as a Michigan criminal defense attorney. We defend clients throughout Oakland County and Metro-Detroit against drug trafficking charges relating to all manner of illegal narcotics, from marijuana and Ecstasy to crack cocaine, meth and heroin.

What if I was Carrying a Large Quantity for Personal Use?
Drug trafficking charges depend solely on the quantity and intentions of the person who was caught holding.
If you get busted with a certain amount of illegal product, the law tells the police and prosecutors to assume you were carrying that much product because you intended to sell, deliver or distribute the drugs. The law assumes that an individual will not carry large amounts of illegal narcotics for personal use.
Drug trafficking charges depend entirely on quantity and the intentions of the person caught holding. Money is not a factor, and neither are the intentions of anyone on the delivery side of the transaction. For example, drug trafficking charges can result from simply handing a quantity of narcotics to another person, even if no money changes hands in the transaction.
What Does a Drug Trafficking Case Review Look Like?
In some drug trafficking cases, we attack the police assumptions regarding the defendant's intentions. For example, we might uncover evidence that allows us to argue persuasively that the defendant may be an addict who might carry high amounts of product for personal use. Or, we may be able to show that the defendant didn't know the drugs were present in the house or car. Questions we ask include:
- Who owned the house or car?
- Where exactly were the drugs found?
- Who else was present when the drugs were found? Where were those people in relation to the drugs?
- Who else had access to the car or the house?
In other cases, we examine the traffic stop and/or the searches that led to the arrest. If the police conducted the stop, search or seizure in ways that violated the defendant's constitutional rights, then we can argue that any evidence seized as part of the search is illegally obtained evidence and must be thrown out. Questions we ask in drug trafficking cases include:
- How did the police find the drugs?
- Was it a legal personal search for the officer to ensure his or her own safety?
- Was it a legal inventory search as part of an arrest?
- Were the narcotics or prescription drugs in plain view?
