Does Your Home Have Lead Plumbing? Here's How To Tell
Eric Roy, Ph.D. Scientific Founder
We get a lot of questions about lead service lines and how to tell if you have lead pipes, and we thought that it would be worth putting together an article that talks about some of the lesser known places where lead can exist in residential plumbing. Most people are surprised to learn that up until 2014, EPA allowed lead exist in fixtures & valves used for drinking water lines!
The Evolution of "Lead Free" Plumbing
When the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was amended in 1986, it mandated that residential plumbing could not use any pipe, pipe fitting, solder, flux, or fixture that was not "lead free." While the term "lead free" seems pretty straightforward, the law allowed for the definition of "lead free" to evolve. The chart below shows allowable lead levels in solder, pipes, fittings, and fixtures through the 25+ years that lead was phased out of plumbing. It's worth pointing out that, it wasn't until very recently (2014) that all pipes/fittings/fixtures used for drinkable water were required to contain negligible amounts of lead.
Maximum Levels of Lead Allowed in Residential Plumbing
|Pipes, Fittings, Valves
|Before 1986
|After 2014
Note: Things like toilets, urinals, bidets, tub fillers, shower valves are excluded from these regulations
How to Determine If Plumbing in Your Home Is Lead Free
Solder: Unfortunately, there is no easy way to visually tell how much lead is in soldered joints after the connection is made. If you are getting plumbing work done, it's ok to ask your plumber to see the package for the solder that they are using. It should prominently say "lead free" on it.
What To Do If Your Home Has Lead Plumbing
As the US has become increasingly aware of lead contamination in drinking water because of the ongoing crisis in Flint, recent violations in large cities like Pittsburgh, and longstanding lead problems in old cities like Chicago and New York City, more and more people are asking what they can do to minimize their family's exposure to lead.
The best way, bar none is to:
- Use a high quality filter at each faucet used for drinking. Any filter should meet or exceed NSF Standard 53 for lead filtration performance.
If you are unable to use a rated filter, or if the filter you use does not protect against lead (like most pitchers and fridge filters), you can take the following steps to minimize exposure:
- Allow your faucet to run for at least 2 minutes before collecting water for consumption (drinking/cooking/washing food). Doing so allows the water sitting in the pipes to flush out and be replaced by fresh water flowing through the large mains.
- Only use the faucet at a slow flow rate when collecting water for consumption. Doing so minimizes the amount of lead particulates that can be swept into the stream and carried to the faucet.

Whole House Water Filters: Frequently Asked Questions
We get a lot of questions from people about Whole House Filters. Because Hydroviv has a "Help No Matter What" mindset when it comes to technical support, we sometimes find ourselves helping our website's visitors evaluate products that we don't sell!
Update: August 8, 2017: After over a year of R&D, we are thrilled to announce that we have launched a purpose-built whole house water filter to remove rotten egg smell from all of the water that enters your home!
What Is a Whole House Water Filter?
As the name suggests, whole house filters are installed on a home's main water supply, so they process all water that comes into the house, including water used to flush toilets, do laundry, and water the lawn.
How Much Should I Expect To Pay For A Whole House Water Filter?
Replacement cartridges can also be a significant cost for whole house filter systems. Because ALL incoming water is filtered by whole house systems, cartridges need to be replaced more frequently than if the same cartridge is used in a point of use application.
How Effective Are Whole House Water Filters?
With whole home water filters, you typically get what you pay for. Most whole house systems are designed to process large volumes of water for water softening and chlorine removal, and are not designed to remove things like chloramine, arsenic, disinfection byproducts, or lead. If you spend several thousand dollars on a high-end whole house system, pay to have it installed by a plumber, and replace the filtration media as prescribed, the system will probably perform as advertised. Just make sure that the system is designed to filter the chemicals you want removed... we have talked to people that have spent thousands on a whole house filter only to learn after the fact that it does not filter lead! On the other end of the price spectrum, most of the low cost whole house filters are only good for removing sediment from the water, and don't do a good job removing dissolved chemicals. The other thing to keep in mind is that if you remove chlorine from your home's water at the point where it enters the home, you introduce the risk of bacteria growing in all pipes downstream of the filter, because the filter removes the disinfectant.
Flow Rate & Impact On Water Pressure
Another performance aspect to consider is the impact on your home's water pressure, because a whole house filter can act as a "choke point" for water delivery. You don't want to run into a situation where there isn't enough water pressure to take a shower because the dishwasher is running and someone is brushing their teeth. Be sure to take into account that the cartridges used in single stage whole house filters become clogged over time, and the water pressure can drop dramatically throughout the filter's lifetime. A good plumber is a very good resource for helping you calculate your home's water demand and thus plan for the right water filter for your main water supply.
How Good Are "General Purpose" Whole House Water Filters?
Simply put, it's not possible to build a whole home water filter that "filters everything bad" from your water on a whole house scale. For that level of filtration, you need to filter at the point of use (e.g. individual faucets- more on this below). However, there are some applications where whole house filtration makes sense. For example, we just launched a whole house water purifier that is purpose-built to remove sulfur (rotten egg smell) from water.
Hydroviv's point of use filtration systems are designed to filter the water in your home used for drinking, washing food, cooking, and showering. By remaining focused on these applications (and ignoring the water used in toilets & washing machines), we are able offer consumers high-performance water filtration systems that cost less than the competition, and don't require a plumber to install.

What's Causing White Chalky Residue On My Stainless Steel Cookware?
Dr. Eric Roy | Hydroviv's Founder
We get a lot of questions about the white chalky residue that can sometimes pop up on cookware. While the idea of residues on things used to prepare food in can cause anxiety... they are usually completely harmless! To check out water filters that remove contaminants from drinking water, check out this Duke/NC State study.
What Is The White Chalky Residue On Cookware?
What is hard water? In nearly all cases, the white residue is from calcium and magnesium-containing minerals that are found in tap water. The minerals build up on pans when water boils, evaporates, and leaves them behind. If the mineral deposits have "baked on," a normal dishwasher cycle typically won't be enough to remove them. In fact, if you use a natural dish washing detergent, the residue can actually get worse!
How To Get Rid Of White Residues On Stainless Steel Cookware?
Even though hard water mineral build-ups on cookware are harmless, they are unsightly and some people want them gone. Fortunately, this is very easy to do! Mix up a 3:1 solution of water and vinegar (any kind), put the solution in the affected pot or pan (make sure to completely submerge the mineral deposits), and turn heat it up on the stove. Once the water starts to get near boiling, shut off the burner, and let the hot liquid dissolve the mineral buildup. Sometimes it helps to give the solution a few swirls every once in a while. Once the buildup has dissolved, dump out the vinegar solution, rinse the pot with cool water, and wipe the pot dry. Easy peasy!

What You Need To Know About Hard Water
By Julie Bray
Hard water can create problems around the house. Mineral buildup is a nuisance especially in areas most affected by hard water. In this article, we answer questions about what is hard water and offer some practical tips on how to remove buildup without buying an expensive water softener.
What is Hard Water?
Water is a great solvent for many of the earth's minerals, including calcium and magnesium. Unfortunately this useful property has a downside- as groundwater moves through the earth it dissolves minerals, resulting in these minerals being delivered to you via your household water supply. When the dissolved minerals in the water reaches a relative high level, which is fairly common, your water is referred to as hard water.
Water is considered hard when it exceeds 3 grains per gallon or 17.1 Parts per million. Water hardness varies throughout the United States. The map below shows areas that are most affected by hard water.
What Are Signs That You Have Hard Water?
Hard water contains high amount of calcium and magnesium. When these two chemicals bond together, they create mineral deposits or scale.
In the industrial setting, hard water can create buildups in machinery, such as boilers and cooling towers, leading to either the use of expensive mineral removal systems or expensive maintenance.
In the domestic setting, hard water makes household cleaning tasks more difficult and can cause serious problems.
Hard water prevents soap from lathering by causing insoluble participates in the water creating problems around the house. Calcium and magnesium from hard water react with soap to produce soap scum. This forces homeowners to use more water for showering and washing dishes, which could increase monthly water bills.
Clothes may appear grey and dingy and feel rougher. Detergent is less effective when used with hard water as soap scum may lodge in the fabric during washing. This may shorten the life of clothes.
Dishes and glasses often look murky or foggy due to the presence of soap scum after being washed in hard water.
Soap scum can also make the hair feel slick and dull. Washing the body with soap and hard water may leave a film of sticky soap curd on the skin. This can create irritation and possibly hinder cleaning.Bathroom
Hard water can create a film on showers, tubs, sinks, faucets, and other fixtures. Once the scale deposits itself on a surface, getting it off can be very difficult. These deposits can make the kitchen and the bathroom look dirty and dingy after being cleaned.Pipes
Minerals in hard water deposit in pipes over time, which gradually slows the water pressure in a house. Complete blockage of pipes is unlikely. Pipes may become clogged with scale overtime, creating less movement through pipes. This is similar to cholesterol buildup, creating less movement through blood vessels.Appliances
Mineral deposits from hard water can interfere with appliances such as dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines. Loose minerals may cling to appliances and cause them to break.
Is Hard Water Bad For You?
Hard water is not a health hazard. The National Research Council states that hard drinking water contributes a small amount to the calcium and magnesium necessary for the human diet.
Additionally, many experts even believe that drinking hard water can decrease the risk of heart attacks ("The high heart health value of drinking-water magnesium" by Andrea Rosanoff). This speculation is currently under further investigation by World Health Organization (WHO) and other groups.
How to Fix Hard Water
Public water system operators are required to provide annual water quality reports. These tests sometimes include water hardness information. Water hardness tests are also available through your city or state health department upon request for a small fee and many companies that sell softeners offer testing material.
If you find that you need to soften your water, there are some expensive hard water solutions such as Ion Exchange (magnesium and calcium bond with sodium in the water) or Reverse Osmosis. Typically these treat the whole house and can be thousands of dollars.
Water softener systems can be an okay hard water solution but also expensive. If you don't have the money or motivation to buy/maintain an expensive water softener, here are some practical tips:
How To Remove Scale From Your Showerhead:
1) take an old toothbrush and remove any surface deposits visible on the showerhead. 2) Take a bag of distilled white vinegar and submerge your showerhead in the bag. 3) Use a rubber band or twist tie to tie off the bag and secure the vinegar. 4) After 12 hours remove the bag and turn on the showerhead to flush the deposits.
Other Easy Fixes For Hard Water Nuisances
- Run white vinegar in dishwasher: Add two cups of white vinegar to the dishwasher can reduce buildup. Running the dishwasher with dishes that have been stained by scale can help remove some of the foggy/ murkiness.
- Use lemon juice to spray and soak fixtures: Using a spray bottle with lemon juice can help remove some of the buildup and make sinks, faucets, and other fixtures that have mineral deposits shiny and new.
- Clean glass windows and shower doors: Spray white vinegar on windows and shower doors to remove buildup.
- Use cleaning products designed to limit hard water impact: hard water treatment shampoo and detergents solve hard water problems safely and effectively. These products are formulated to to remove buildup.
- Reduce the temperature of your boiler: As the temperature increases, the more mineral deposits will appear in your dishwasher, water tank, and pipes.
The mineral deposits left behind by hard water are a great nuisance, but these solutions can help. These hard water cleansing solutions can be effective and inexpensive.

Divorce tips for couples getting married again
First time weddings or getting married divorce tips.
Divorce is not a dirty little secret anymore. Rather it has become a common and normal part of life for many.
Divorce can conjure feelings of anger and frustration. Sadness and resentment. How can true happiness occur with such emotion at the forefront?
The key to moving on is finding out how to let go. About finding the ability to forgive each other. For many this is easier said than done.
Luckily there are ways in finding inner peace. Outlets such as self-help books. Dating services. Counseling. Special events for single and divorced individuals.
In September 2012, a Divorce Single and Mingle Party aka Divorce Party was held in Toronto. The event was held so that individuals could have an opportunity to meet new people. They could dance to a live DJ, enjoy wine tasting, a fashion show, and keynote speakers in the area of divorce.
One of the keynote speakers was Deborah Moskovitch. Pictured left with W&H writer Nicole Gioseffi. Moskovitch is a divorce coach and the author of The Smart Divorce. She herself has been divorced for over 16 years.
She said that her divorce was a difficult time in her life. Finding ways to overcome it was a challenge. Realizing the most important thing is to heal at your own speed, and learning to forgive and let go.
Through the process of her divorce Moskovitch she began to write her book. It has proven strategies and valuable advice.
A vital divorce tip she gives is to know your partner well enough before the marriage. Asking questions will help you gain a clearer picture as to what your future will look like together.
Divorce tips to know before your first wedding or if you are getting married again.
1. What are your career goals and aspirations?
2. How do you plan on retiring?
3. Where do you want to live?
4. How many children do you want to have?
5. If there are children from a previous marriage. Make sure a partner is okay with this.
Don't be afraid to ask your partner these questions. Especially if you want another shot at finding true love. Answers to these questions ensure you both see the same foreseeable future.
In addition there is also the subject of finances. Moskovitch strongly suggests to protect your assets. A prenuptial agreement signed before you are married will ensure you both keep what is rightfully yours.
Finding true happiness after divorce can be attainable if you forget the past. Do not be afraid to ask the right questions. In doing so your marriage can prove to be a healthy and long lasting one.

AceShowbiz - Rapper Wiz Khalifa is unfazed by criticism of racially insensitive lyrics in his new song Hot Now, insisting detractors need to "chill out".
The Black and Yellow hitmaker courted controversy with a line referencing the shape of Asian eyes, after recently releasing the track on his Rolling Papers 2 album.
"Smoke got my eyes lookin' Korean," he spits in the lyrics in question, but Wiz is adamant there is nothing malicious about the reference, and he refuses to apologise for his work.
"Chill out, I'm not racist. I love all races," he told New York radio show The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, July 17, when he was asked about a report in The Korea Times about the potentially offensive wording.
"I have Korean friends who are not offended, so I don't know those people who are saying that (criticising him)," Wiz said. "My art is up for interpretation."

Have you noticed how often the forecast of a "market expert" seems based on nothing more than drawing a straight line between two points?
If a stock price was down yesterday and is down today, it's all but certain that another decline will be predicted for tomorrow.
This easy habit of prediction reminds me of a scene from "The Flintstones," the popular cartoon of the 1960's. Two policemen are sitting in their squad car when the voice of the dispatcher comes on the radio:
"'Grandma Dynamite' is at it again. She's robbed the First, Second and
Third National Banks."
Policeman to his partner: "Where do you think she'll strike next, Joe?"
Dispatcher (overhearing): "The Fourth National Bank. Where else?"
There's no denying that observing patterns is often a useful thing. Our ancestors had no complaint when a rustling in the grass put them on guard against a lion keen to follow the meat-eating plan of the Atkins Diet.
But our pattern-recognition skills have gone a little soft since then. Fear of an attack by a wild animal has been replaced by the annoyance of a weak Wi-Fi signal when watching YouTube videos. We may imagine patterns that don't even exist.
The complexity of markets can't be captured in simple patterns.
And yet market experts are often richly paid. It's interesting to wonder why.
Part of the reward to the expert may be due to his talent as an entrepreneur. After all, where most people see "Connect-the-Dots" as a children's game, the market expert has the vision to see it as a lucrative career.

How to Build a Diverse & Healthy Link Profile
Links remain a highly effective ranking signal for research.
Search engines rely heavily on hyperlinks to ascertain which pages to display in their results — for the they invest in getting better at assessing links (e.g., Penguin 4.0).
Google, in particular, is always experimenting and testing with their search results. It is important to diversify how we procure hyperlinks to make a searchable backlink profile that's resistant to alterations and alterations by search engines.
There are a Wide Array of link building approaches to Select from when pursuing hyperlinks, but most of them basically fit below three umbrellas:
These 3 classes encompass all the various methods to make hyperlinks to your website. You have to employ a mixture of plans from each to create a diverse and healthful backlink profile.
1. Content Link Building
Among the most common sorts of link acquisition is procuring links via articles.
Content link construction is very popular since it's very powerful: sites wish to connect to and feature content that is valuable. But, content link construction is also among the toughest kinds of link acquisition to perform correctly.
By way of instance, guest posting is among the most frequent approaches in articles link construction.
Guest posting on important sites can be an extremely effective strategy for earning exposure and links. But so many connection builders get this strategy incorrect, sending dreadful outreach mails to irrelevant websites and shoehorning unrelated connections.
A fantastic guideline to keep in mind while guest post is to inquire if you'd bring about the website if all hyperlinks were rel=nofollow.
A complete illustration of this is SEMrush. SEMrush nofollows their outbound links, but that I guest posted there since the website provides decent exposure and contains a relevant audience.
SEMrush offers advantages beyond connection equity, which makes it worth my time to post there.
Together with supplying content (guest posting) you may even leverage the articles on your site for hyperlinks. Again, content marketing can be quite fruitful concerning hyperlinks, but making these linkable resources is difficult.
Making linkable assets means investing in a Number of resources:
Professional layout.
Scientific research/data collection.
Video production.
Internet growth.
First photography.
Professional writing.
A high quality infographic can draw in a high number of connections, but implementing on the production of stated infographic demands appropriate investment.
Not all articles link construction requires you produce fresh content. Pre-existing under-promoted resources can entice new links when put in the front of the ideal audiences.
Additionally, you can use reverse image search programs to discover where your proprietary pictures are used online and reach out to request attribution links. These instruments include:
Google Picture Search
Image Raider
Just be sure to be polite when requesting a citation, instead of threatening or accusatory — you may convert more connections this manner.
Content link construction techniques — for example guest posting and infographic advertising — should be liable for some of your backlinks. But, content link construction is quite hard to implement, so it is wise to rely on different strategies too.
2. Research Link Building
Not all links must be procured using content. In reality, content link construction may not be a feasible choice for a number of businesses (based on budget, company type, site age, etc.). Another sort of link acquisition you need to leverage to come up with your backlink profile would be research associate building.
Research link construction identifies the strategies that rely on market and business study. Earning hyperlinks through:
Resource directories and pages.
Competitor research.
Broken link construction.
Unlinked mentions.
These strategies require some degree of research and can add variety to a profile.
Additionally, these links are often the best sorts of links you are able to bring in, driving qualified visitors to your site.
Resource Pages and Directories
Resource directories and pages may be excellent sources of traffic if they're hyper-relevant to your small business.
People still use these pages to discover relevant websites and advice — the secret is to greatly inspect any webpage you pursue a connection on to ensure site has actual traffic and an engaged audience.
Competitor Research
Competitor analysis may also discover relevant link chances. Do not blindly copy your competitors' backlinks — there will definitely be spammy and irrelevant links. But when a website links to a competition, most often it is because the linking website is pertinent to your business, market, or crowd.
International Search Summit Boston | October 30, 2018
Discover tips for increasing ROI out of the international SEO and PPC.
Study your opponents' top performing webpages to obtain insight into how they're earning links and everything you can do to maximize your pages for hyperlinks. By way of instance, if opponents are driving links and traffic with videos, then you probably should begin investing in movie.
As you study your opponents, be conscious of any lifeless pages in their websites. If those 404 pages have some links pointing to them, these links will be broken. In case you've got a relevant page on your website, you are able to reach out to connecting websites and indicate your webpage for a substitute for the dead source.
Broken Link Building
This approach is typically known as broken link construction and is not confined to rival websites. Any dead source that's related to your market (in which you've got a similar page dwell in your own website ) could offer broken link construction prospects.
An important notice for broken link construction: you have to think about whether there's a fantastic reason for the website owner to change the broken link by means of your webpage past the easy actuality that the present connection is broken.
Some useful questions to ask yourself include:
How old is your goal page?
When was the page last updated?
Is the page a valid substitute for the dead source?
Is it apparent the site is regularly maintained?
Are there any some other broken links on the webpage?
Consider your own site and what may compel one to fix and alter a broken link.
Unlinked Mentions
Looking for unlinked cites is just another significant part research link building.
Locating where your brand is being talked about on the internet is beneficial for many different reasons: audience involvement, reputation management, and client research. If these mentions do not include a hyperlink to your website, there's also an chance to procure valuable links.
Mention link chances are not confined to brand mentions . Other potential statements comprise:
Corporate statements (mergers, acquisitions, IPO filings, etc.).
Employee interviews or quotations.
High-profile sponsorships.
New service or product releases.
Anything that's pertinent to your organization and newsworthy could possibly result in unlinked cites chances.
By way of instance, virtual reality (VR) is an exciting and emerging marketplace, also Oculus is just one of the leading brands in the marketplace. It is probably their merchandise the Oculus Rift has a number of unlinked cites floating around the Internet, for example here:
Nearly all mention hyperlinks will be mentions of your brand or business name. Branded hyperlinks should account for a substantial part of your backlink profile and these are a few of the very natural links it is possible to secure as the linking website is already speaking about your company.
3. Community Link Building
Links may also be procured through the participation and interactions that you have with your area.
Community engagement builds offline associations, and these offline associations ought to be reflected on the internet in the kind of links. As an instance, any institution — local or professional — which you are a part of represents a possible link prospect. If the institution has a site you need to have a link .
Your regional Chamber of Commerce can offer a powerful link if you're a member.
Other neighborhood link construction opportunities include:
A number of these approaches help incorporate a valuable neighborhood element to your connection portfolio.
It is also possible to leverage your internet community for hyperlinks by hosting competitions and giveaways. If you encourage your competition to the ideal people (industry books, influencers, tangentially connected websites, etc.) they could link, supplying link equity and additional exposure for your audience.
Interacting with your neighborhood is valuable in several ways and should not be achieved for the sole purpose of constructing links. But if you're actively working to engage your neighborhood you might also make hyperlinks.
Search engines reward sites with backlink profiles which feature many different connection types.
In connection construction, program is more significant than strategy. Any link construction technique can be used efficiently or spammed in manipulative ways, and employing an assortment of link making methods is best.
A wholesome mixture of links out of articles, study, and community connection building approaches will offer the best outcomes. Based upon your website and company, some strategies will be more profitable than others, so find the appropriate mix for your distinctive circumstance.
To review, you will find Many Different approaches to choose from:
Guest posting
Linkable asset advertising (existing or new )
Picture link construction
Resource pages
Competitor research
Broken link construction
Unlinked cites
The strategies you use are just part of constructing a varied hyperlink profile and productive site. In addition, you ought to have an overarching strategy, solid technical and search-engine optimization, and flexibility to accommodate and pivot when required.

Brazilian Olympians look ahead to Tokyo 2020
The announcement was made shortly after the release of the 2019-2020 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Calendar.
With Brazil running an internal qualification system for its teams which considers the best ten finishes secured at four- and five-star World Tour events between February 2019 and February 2020, as well as the 2019 World Championships, it was determined that the teams which would represent Brazil have already been decided regardless of the results of the final tournament to consider before the deadline, the four-star event in Chetumal, Mexico, in November.
Alison and Bruno, who topped the podium in Copacabana three years ago, now play with different partners. Last March, the 33-year-old Alison, who took silver at the London 2012 Olympics with Emanuel Rego, teamed up with 28-year-old Alvaro Filho, who could make his Olympic debut next year.
Bruno (33), on the other hand, would have a fellow Rio 2016 Olympian by his side as Evandro, a 2017 world champion with André Loyola, finished ninth in Copacabana with Pedro Solberg. The two have been together since February.
"We couldn't wait to hear the confirmation," the 29-year-old Evandro said. "We still have a lot to improve, but we have time to do it and we'll fight for each point so we can win a medal, which is our next goal now."
On the women's side, the 36-year-old Agatha, who secured silver with former partner Barbara Seixas in Rio three years ago, is the only Olympian of the group. She joined forces with 21-year-old rising star Duda Lisboa at the start of 2017 and the team has been among the best in the world since then.
Eduarda 'Duda' Lisboa (left) and Agatha Bednarczuk celebrate a point at the 2019 World Tour Finals in Rome
Rebecca, 26, and Ana Patrícia, 22, will also prepare to make Olympic appearances. They have been together since 2017, but didn't start playing internationally until 2018, and have enjoyed a meteoric rise on the international scene which saw them win three gold medals in the 2018-2019 season.
"It's been such a journey for us," Ana Patrícia reflected. "At the start we had to play country quotas and qualifiers and to see how far we've got, that makes me really proud. I always dreamed about playing in the Olympics and I didn't know what I needed to do to make it happen, but I have had great people by my side and that make the process so much fun."

6:37 am - Sunday (Friday!) - 53º F, humidity 75%, wind 4 mph our of the east northeast......partly cloudy with a forecast high (again) of 86º F. This is our Friday, and we are looking forward to our off days!
TLE and I spent a large part of Saturday morning, before work, taking the written 'Platinum' test for our final 'Adventure Guide' designation. The test is 'open book', but was still quite hard. It took our two 68 year old brains operating at maximum capacity to find all the answers.......I am still not sure they are all correct. The other written tests were easy by comparison. Then it was time to begin getting ready for another work day.
Initially the morning temps were cool enough that I finally turned on our 'fireplace' heater to take the chill out of the air, but by 10 am it began to warm up outside with a vengeance. By the time we left for our 5 mile drive up the Gardiner River gorge it was in the high 80's.
We have a pretty large employee parking lot behind the General Store, but by the time the 'CLOSE' shift folks arrive there are very few spots left......sometimes we have to compete with the local wild life for parking spots........
.....I haven't taken many pictures of the wild life around Mammoth Hot Springs, and specifically all the elk that wander around grazing in the abundant grassy areas. Most of the elk are 'cows', but occasionally we will see a young 'male' elk, calf, with short antlers. I have yet to see a grown male elk, bull, in a densely populated area like Mammoth Hot Springs. In the middle of the day parking becomes a major issue in Mammoth Hot Springs, and we get many, many tourists driving into the employee parking area looking for a place to park. There are orange cones in every single unoccupied site, plus numerous signs advising this area is strictly for employee use only, but they still try to park there anyway. I totally understand their desperation. Sometimes it can take us an extra 7-8 minutes to drive the last few hundred yards to work as there are so many folks looking for a parking spot.
When we arrived our 'CLOSE' shift things were pretty slow, and that is how the day, by and large, remained. We had some spurts of activity, but generally it was very slow paced. At one point a young woman (leader of a youth group) approached us at the 'Fountain' to announce she would be purchasing 17 single scoop ice creams for her kids. Amazingly, we processed those 17 orders in less than 10 minutes......we are getting good! That was the one big rush of the day......we had a few times when there were 7-8 folks in line, but it was nothing like last Saturday and Sunday (4th of July weekend).
Just as we were getting ready to close the 'Fountain' for the evening we got a rush of about 10 folks (two families)......as the clock struck 8:30 pm we simultaneously emptied 4 of our 8 tubs of ice cream......a perfect ending to our day!
TLE and I were on our way home by 9:40 pm, and home just before 10 pm.....one more day in our work week and then our exploration of YNP continues! The full moon peeking over the local trees.......
.......by the way, did you know that 80% of the trees in YNP are of the lodgepole pine variety?
Thanks for stopping by!

The days of traditional classrooms has changed drastically in the past few decades. Students from identical socioeconomic, cultural and religious views sitting quietly in age-based rows, hands folded quietly, lips sealed unless spoken to has been transformed into a globally diverse, highly informed student population. Today's students come to the classroom from around the globe, bringing with them views of the world that may be different from those held by the local community, making it important that students learn to respect, understand and appreciate the variety of ways people perceive.
Global diversity
The diversity present in today's classrooms, workplaces and neighborhoods increases the need for tolerance, courtesy and respect for the rights of others. Without the courtesy and respect that comes from recognizing that there are many perspectives, outlooks and belief systems, conflict and even violence are more likely.
Regional ethnicity
Just as each family has its own culture, moral code and traditions, today's classrooms contain a wide variety of learning styles, social skills and academic abilities. Orchestrating this diverse group into a cohesive whole that can work together is no mean trick. Classroom management policies, teaching methods and lesson plans must all be customized to satisfy the needs, circumstances and personalities of culturally diverse teachers and students. Children who are taught to understand and accept that other people may feel differently about things are better able to handle themselves in a wider range of social and professional situations.
Classroom culture
Children who enter today's classroom expecting everyone to view the world the way they do are likely to experience social and academic difficulties. These children are also more likely to be involved with bullying. Bully is often the result of poor social skills, a sense of inadequacy and insufficient knowledge about other people's views. By actively teaching students to appreciate the unique characteristics of each culture and of individuals, students experience a richer perspective themselves.
Cultural learning styles
Recent brain research has demonstrated that different people learn in different ways. Teachers can create lesson plans that help students understand their own learning style and those of others. Small groups work can be conducted by placing a variety of learning styles within each group. This way, students are able to benefit from seeing how other students approach assignments and solve problems, expanding the abilities of everyone involved.
It is unrealistic to expect everyone to view the world the same way. Failing to address that limitation can have long-term emotional, intellectual, social and professional ramifications. Teaching children to understand and appreciate other perspectives enriches them and makes them more successful and amiable as adults.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:

- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located near you?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

Rubén Aguirre
Personality Profile
Who is Rubén Aguirre? He is a male celebrity. He was born on Friday June 15th 1934, in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico,.
Rubén Aguirre is peacemaker by nature. Because he intuitively knows what people want, or feel, he can be extremely diplomatic and tactful. Patient and cooperative that he is, Rubén works well with groups and somehow finds a way of creating harmony among diverse opinions.
When employing his considerable inner strength, Aguirre uncovers his enormous power and abilities to direct difficult situations toward his own goals. It is the awareness of his inner strength that will give Rubén Aguirre the courage to use his own personal power when it is needed. In truth, Rubén Aguirre is often the power behind the throne.Rubén Aguirre has the soul of an artist. He is extremely sensitive, perceptive, and a bit shy. These qualities are both his strengths and weaknesses, for while Aguirre possesses enormous sensitivity to his feelings and those of others, that same sensitivity can cause him to hold back and repress his considerable talents. Sensitivity and perceptiveness are among Aguirre's many fine qualities.
Rubén enjoys music and poetry, and he has an eye for beauty and a fine sense of balance and rhythm.Rubén Aguirre is a sensitive and passionate lover, and his perceptiveness makes him aware of his partner's needs and desires, which he is able to fulfill with almost magical delicacy. He has also healing capabilities, especially in such fields as massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and counseling. More...
More flavors to Rubén's personality
Rubén Aguirre is uniquely ambitious and likely to achieve his goals and dreams. For that, he possesses much willpower, and is determined and ever-persistent, even as far as pursuing the dreams of childhood, never forgetting them throughout his life.
This rare gift endows Rubén with uncompromising strength, courage and endurance, to the point of holding on relentlessly to a single aim in life.
For this powerful personality, Rubén Aguirre is likely to be a great friend to his supporters, but the worst enemy to his opponents.
He might also be stubborn and single minded to the point of hurting others accidentally in his relentless drive to reach his goals.
Rubén Aguirre must look out for his tendency not to listen to other people's viewpoints; it might cause him to ignore his own inner voice as well.
He should also try to contain his inclination to feel frustration, disappointment and uncertainty about his decisions once they are not fulfilled to his satisfaction and expectations.
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Rubén Aguirre is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Rubén cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Rubén Aguirre has a good memory, is highly intelligent, well balanced and with strong mental abilities. His thinking process is logical, and his problem solving skills are outstanding.
While intellectual, creative and with good judgement, Rubén should avoid being impatient with others who are less gifted in the intellect and mental-strength department, or worst yet - looking down on them.
Aguirre is more intellectual than emotional or practical and his quick analytical brain is capable of abstract thinking, so solves problems quickly and easily.
Intellect-driven that he is, it is important for Rubén to keep his brain stimulated and to challenge himself mentally throughout his life with ongoing learning and study, however - he might also glitch into mental laziness due to lack of interesting triggers in his career and workplace, or in the people that he surrounds himself with.
Tour Rubén's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
March 30th 2020 is a day of accomplishment in work. Rubén Aguirre enjoys respect and appreciation for his dependability. Yet, routine matters still have to be handled.
Rubén may have to contemplate or handle moral issues today.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the cauliflower into steaks. The easiest way to do this is to cut the cauliflower in half and then cut two 1/2-3/4 inch steaks from each side. The stem will hold the steak together. You can use the extra cauliflower in another dish.
Mix together the flour, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge the cauliflower steaks in this mixture, making sure to coat them well. Place on a prepared baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray or covered in parchment.
Bake for 24-26 minutes until cauliflower is tender and browned.
Meanwhile mix together the buffalo sauce with melted butter and mix together the yogurt and blue cheese.
When the cauliflower steaks are done, toss them in the buffalo sauce. Serve on the burger rolls (you may have to slice the steaks so they fit) and top with blue cheese yogurt and any other burger toppings - lettuce, tomato, red onion, etc.

Every year I try to wake up early to get down to Victory Square for the Remembrance Day parade. Not only is it a great photo op but I think it's important to honor those who have given so much to protect our country, our freedom and our future. Whether it is Remembrance Day here in Canada, Veteran's Day in the States or whatever it's called anywhere else, take the opportunity to thank those who serve. Lest we forget the sacrifice of the brave men and women to whom we owe so very much.

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart as a pump, blood vessels that take blood away from the heart (arteries), and blood vessels that take blood back to the heart (veins). Locate the heart on the illustration and color it in purple. Label the common carotid artery and color it in red. Arteries are typically colored in red and veins are colored blue. Label and color in the internal jugular vein too. The internal jugular vein takes blood to the superior vena cava which takes blood to the heart. Label and color the aortic arch red and find the continuation of the aorta that travels down the left side of the body, splits and takes blood to the femoral artery. The vessel parallel to the femoral artery is the femoral vein and it should be colored blue. The femoral vein takes blood to the inferior vena cava before it goes to the heart. Blood travels to the arm by the brachial artery and deoxygenated (color it blue) blood travels to the lungs in the pulmonary trunk.
Answer Key: a. Internal jugular vein, b. Common carotid artery, c. Superior vena cava, d. Brachial artery, e. Inferior vena cava, f. Aortic arch, g. Pulmonary trunk, h. Heart, i. Aorta, j. Femoral artery, k. Femoral vein.

For the Sint Maarten government to achieve their goals in the Governing program (including our plans, policies, NRRP) and thereby achieve their objectives as intended for Sint Maarten, they need to recover financially in order to fund and continue funding all their initiatives & investments.
Therefore, within a good public financial management framework, Sint Maarten needs to:
- Baseline: Where we are financially
- Recognize: What are the risks we face
- Envision: What are our objectives
- Realize: How will we achieve our objectives
Current Financial Position
- A negative starting position of approx. NAf. 400 million
- Up until mid-2017 estimated at NAf. 40 million (including unforeseen items)
- Related budget deficits are estimated at some NAf. 320 million until and including 2020
- Required totals approx. NAf. 4.2 billion (as documented in the NRRP)
Looking at the figures we need to acknowledge that the time to take our financial recovery serious is now and that financial rebuilding, recovery but also restructuring is urgently necessary. Looking at the figures further, it is also clear that we will not be able to handle this burden completely on our own and that a combined effort together with our Kingdom and possibly otherinternational partners will be required.

Goal Settinggreenspun.com : LUSENET : APA Division 47 Exercise and Sport Psychology : One Thread
I am intereted in doing a MSc dissertation in Sport Psychology and the sub section of goal setting. I am led to believe that the field of goal setting in sport has not found concrete evidence pertaining the effectivness of the tool. Therefore i would like to do research that still requires to be conducted in this feild and preferably in a team setting. Some ideas of interest are female and male goal prespectives role and influence. What type of goals should athletes set?? Performer and coach within goal setting?? These are just ideas that i have come with would like information as to whether research has been carried out in these settings or not and if there are any other areas in goal setting that i could do research in.
-- Gobinder Singh Gill (firstname.lastname@example.com), May 06, 1998
From my 30 years or so experience working with thousands of students ( I have taught self defense classes since 1966), I have observed goal setting to be a very important initial step in organizing my classes. It has to be done jointly - the class and the instructor. It has to be long range (what do we we want to achive in this semester - 5 months), then short range (what do we want to achieve this hour, this day, this week, this month, etc.)
Only when you have goals- direction do you know who, what,where ,when and how questions can be answered
-- Victor Benedicto (email@example.com), May 29, 1998.
Hi Gobinder, I'm doing a Master's in Australia at the moment, and would say that there have been a fair number of publications on the topic of goal setting. Have you looked in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology? I know for sure that there are empirical evaluations of goal-setting packages which have been undertaken in the last couple of years. What you're going to have to do is consult that journal,and The Sport Psychologist to see what has been done. Hope that this helps you on your way! cheers, casey

Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. During the 40 days of Lent, we invite you into a meaningful period of self-examination and reflection to realign your life and focus toward God and the work God calls you to do by using the resources below.
Lent and Easter: Resisting Racism
It would be very hard to find anyone who would say they were against resisting racism. Yet, racism persists both in our world and in The United Methodist Church. To resist racism, we must learn new information (knowledge/mindset), engage our willingness to make change (will/heartset), and do the tangible work of disrupting and dismantling racism (action/skillset). The resources presented in this package have been created and framed for both individuals and groups to engage during the Lenten season. May God bless you as you seek to do the work of Resisting Racism.
Lenten Series: Roll Down Justice
GCORR's Lenten Biblical Reflection, Roll Down, Justice!, written by Faye Wilson and featuring the music and reflections of Mark A. Miller, poses two questions to believers. First, what are you prepared to give in order to have a closer walk with God? Second, what can you give in order to embrace anew the work of justice? Roll Down, Justice!, is based on six songs* that are included in the book/CD set Roll Down, Justice! – Sacred Songs and Social Justice. The songs in this Lenten series are offered as six videos, and each video includes a guide for study.
Be Still and Go: Meditations for the Movement
Be Still and Go: Meditations for the Movement is a devotional podcast from The Riverside Church with daily episodes available during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Each episode is an invitation to reflect on a text or a theme so that you can be refilled and refueled for the work of love and justice that you are called to do. And this work is not a sprint. Take a moment and do your stretches because we're in this for the whole marathon.
The 2019 Lent season of Be Still and Go features reflections from The Riverside Church clergy and congregants as well as Christian leaders from across the country and around the world, including Erin Hawkins and Rev. Michelle Ledder from GCORR.
Going to Jerusalem, Erin Hawkins
A New Thing, Michelle Ledder
