Jetty Renters Insurance lets you customize virtually every aspect of your renters insurance plan, from your coverage limits to your deductible. So, how much is renters insurance in KS? Plans start at as low as $5/month.
Absolutely. After you generate a quote, you can select the option to add a landlord (known as an "additional interest") or significant other who lives with you.
Yup. Jetty sends PDF documentation of your plan right to your e-mail inbox as soon as you sign up. If you ever lose your Kansas renters insurance document, you can download the PDF again directly from your account.
Even cheap insurance in Kansas City typically includes four key coverages. A basic Jetty plan has:
Contents coverage.
Protection for your belongings.
Loss of use coverage.
Help with living expenses in the event a covered loss makes your place uninhabitable.
Liability coverage.
Protection if you're financially liable to someone else (perhaps as a result of damaging their property, for example).
Medical payments to others coverage.
Helps pay someone else's medical bills due to a no-fault incident on or near your property.
Think you need more than the basics? Our cheap insurance in Kansas City still offers options for extra coverage. We call these Jetty Power-Ups (also known as "endorsements" in the insurance industry). Power-Ups are bonus coverages that include the Portable Electronics Power-Up, Valuables Protection Power-Up, Bedbugs Protection Power-Up, and Airbnb Host Theft Protection. Adding extra coverage to your renters insurance in Kansas only takes seconds.

Flotsam And Jetsam have premiered a new video for their new song "Demolition Man." This track is from the band's new album "The End Of Chaos," which will be released on January 18. The group commented:
"We were able to partner with director Jeremy Tremp, who also did the 'Life Is A Mess' video from our 2016 self-titled album, and the CineForge Media team once again. Jeremy create a cool story line under 'Demolition Man' that gave it an old school video vibe, with a great flow back and forth with the band conveying the power of the song in a visual format. And, that's not always an easy thing to pull off."

We'll be following up our March 2019 European tour with Overkill and Destruction with this 34-show run throughout May/June 2019. Look for us to be playing music from the new album, as well as digging into our catalog to play Flotsam songs that haven't been in the set for a while, if ever, in our headline set.

"Are you ready for this? I don't think you are. You'll have to pull up your big girl pants and prepare yourself."
Flotsam And Jetsam have premiered a new lyric video for their song "Monkey Wrench." This track is from the band's 2016 self-titled album.
Flotsam And Jetsam have officially welcomed Ken Mary (ex-Alice Cooper/Accept, etc.) to the band as their permanent drummer. Mary started touring with the band last year and will now join them on all future dates. He will also play on their upcoming album as well.
Mary commented:
"It's always awesome to play with the mighty Flotsam And Jetsam. The music is super-challenging and at the same time a great deal of fun to play. With such great musicians in the band that are also great guys, it's going to be a blast!"
The band added:
"We're excited to announce that Ken will be our new drummer. Ken has already tracked all the drums for our upcoming album slated for release later this year, and we're all looking forward to the fans experiencing a new chapter in the history of Flotsam And Jetsam."
Flotsam And Jetsam will play "Doomsday For The Deceiver" in its entirety during some select dates on their European tour. The group added the following about that:
"We're looking forward to a couple of special performances of the 'Doomsday' album played in its entirety, with Keep It True being the first time ever the band has taken on that task," the band says. "With Metal Blade releasing 'Doomsday' on vinyl, the timing couldn't be better for this special set. It's something we're all looking forward to playing for our friends in Europe."
The band also have a North American tour booked with HammerFall. They said the following about that:
"This is going to be a banging tour, and we couldn't ask for a more accommodating and cool group of talented musicians to hit the road with and bring our respective styles of metal to the masses. We have 10 headlining shows; before, during and after the HammerFall dates, so hopefully we're coming close enough to your city to warrant a heavy metal road trip. Looking forward to seeing our U.S. and Canadian friends and fans on the road!"

Three police officers were suspended without pay after crashing into a Staten Island sports bar last month, police sources said.
Lt. Vincent Molinini, Det. Christopher Corulla, and Det. Frank Muirhead were suspended after the Feb. 26 incident at Rookie's Sports Bar on Arthur Kill Road, the sources said.
Two of the officers were in a newer Mercedes Benz trying to pull out of a parking spot when they crashed into the front of the bar at 1547 Arthur Kill Rd, about 9:50 p.m., the sources said. They also hit a parked car, the sources said.
None of the officers were charged in the crash. The Internal Affairs Bureau was notified the next day.

Tag Archive: verse,
The subject of Adam's ashes has reared it's head again and I am no nearer to deciding what to do about it. Up until today the blue box containing all that remains of my beautiful boy has been sitting in the living room underneath his photograph. However, I am aware that I am not the only person with an interest in what becomes of them. He has three children and their two respective mothers, two brothers and a father, all of whom have genuine rights when it comes to making a decision about this difficult problem. I am his mother, This was his home, Where he is now is virtually the same place where he was set down when I brought him home from the maternity ward in a little blue carry cot. I don't think I am ready to let him go yet. I still haven't come to terms with the way he died and I think that that is the crux of the problem.
Fourteen billion years ago the whole thing was begun.
Time itself came into being, the clock began to run.
And in the crucible of space, all there is, was born.
The building blocks of all we know from some galactic storm.
Collapsing stars formed elements, the elements combined
To form the substance of it all, the earth, the trees, mankind!
So look into the midnight sky, creation on parade. . .
For what you see in starlight is the stuff from which we're made.
For we are in the universe, The universe in us.
The two are indivisible. A thing most beauteous.
So hear the song of nature. The song that all things sing.
For we are truly stardust, everyone and everything.

Snake in the Grass
Fritillaria meleagris – Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve soil. Plant snakes head fritillary bulbs at a depth of 4″ and 4″ apart. The bulbs are fragile so always handle them with care. Planting them on their sides will help to avoid water collecting in their hollow crowns and prevent the bulbs from rotting. Divide from August to September. Information and picture from thompson-morgan.com
I have tried to grow these lovely things before without any success. I now have fifty bulbs and have to decide where to plant them. Some plants men say that the flower is deadly poisonous. It has many common names as well as snakehead it is called lepers lily.
Grigson, in his Englishman's Flora, calls the Fritillaria meleagris snaky, deadly beauties, but there is little written evidence of harm.
On sunless days in winter, we shall know
By whom the silver gossamer is spun,
Who paints the diapered fritillaries,
On what wide wings from shivering pine to pine the eagle flies.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Waking Up In Narnia
I took this photograph of the Silver Birch when the sun came up this morning. The temperature was hovering around minus six and all the trees were looking very Christmassy.

Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding cake.

Sweet Peas – Lathyrus Odoratus – 2009
Although it is a bit late I am going to chit some saved Sweet Pea seeds and set them in the lean to for overwintering in the hope of some early plants for next season. The seeds are mixed as it would have been impossible to separate the varieties when collecting them. 2009 was a terrible year for us for Sweet Peas but 2008 was great so let's hope next year will be another good one.
Sweet Pea – Delicate Pleasures
Here are sweet peas on tip-toe for a flight with wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white,
And taper fingers catching at all things to bind them all about with tiny rings
More Snow – but Spring is just round the corner
Memory Lane
Yesterday we had a bit of an adventure. We delivered two silkie boys to a lad in Bishops Castle. We had never been there before and the whole journey, including getting lost on the way home, turned into a great day out. We stopped to get our bearings outside a lovely pub where we had a welcome rest, a drink and something to eat before we set off again to get home. We went miles out of our way coming back but saw some lovely places including some hop fields which brought back some good memories from childhood for me. We drove through the Hope Valley which was really beautiful in the Autumn sunshine. We also drove through Church Stretton, a beautiful place and well worth another visit in the future. My son Adam went there once on a field trip from university and I remember that he rang on his mobile to tell me about the wonderful views. He was right too. All in all we had a great day with some laughs and met some really nice people and a little dog called Sophie. Rob leaves for Poland this afternoon so another busy day ahead for us.
The 12th is usually a sad day for us all as it is the anniversary of the death of Glenn's partner Lindsay.
Along The Road by Robert Browning
I walked a mile with Pleasure
She chattered all the way
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say
I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she
But oh, the things
I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me
Hey Big Spender – RCOM20 Incubator
We finally decided to invest in an incubator and went for the RCOM20 from P&T Poultry. Our savings have taken as much of a battering as the allotment this week as we have also bought some plastic tubing and some netting to build a tunnel.
On Tuesday morning I checked on Pecker, who was initially sitting on three duck eggs and six Wyandotte eggs, and she was down to three intact eggs. I took the last three from her and popped them under Misty, our other sitting broody. The hatch is due next Tuesday 1st April. The first try we had this year was with some Silkie eggs and the broody ate them and then with what happened with Pecker's clutch we decided not to risk any more eggs. I have sixteen eggs here now. They are a mix of Silkie and Pekin so we are hoping for more success with the incubator. We popped down to the plots today even though it was blowing a gale down there we managed to dig over a couple of beds ready for planting up.
How could we tire of hope?
– so much is in bud. Denise Levertov
Autumn Sunshine
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
with fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run.
To Autumn – Keats
The leaves are starting to fall and there is a feel of Autumn in the air this morning. I love the Autumn even though it means the end of the growing season for most things. I really must soften the soil around the swedes and give them a water and a feed today. I also have some overwintering brassicas to plant out. The rest of the grim potato harvest is yet to be done. The strawberry runners are still waiting to be potted too. Autumn may be knocking at the door but there are still lots of jobs to do on the plots. Although when I set off to the allotment the sky was overcast and it looked like rain I enjoyed two hours of warm sunshine and managed to tick a couple of the jobs off our list. After picking a few runner beans I weeded and hoed the swede bed and prepared the bed next to it for the brassicas. I transplanted all but a few of the overwintering greens and then gave the whole lot including the adjacent sprout cage a good watering with soapy water to get rid of the white fly which had already settled on to the new plants. Before leaving I covered the new row with wire cages to keep off the birds.
Remembering Mother
For all the gifts you've given me
For all I am and strive to be
For every hour of every day
In all I think, or do, or say
For all I know, for all you've done
Forever more, I thank you Mom
Today would have been my Mother's birthday and it has made me think that perhaps the reason I like to grow things is down in part to her. She made good use of the garden around our little prefab by growing potatoes at the back aswell as rhubarb and gooseberries. At the front she grew carnations and pinks. She would make up a dozen with a spray of gyp and sell them for a shilling a bunch. My bedroom window overlooked a narrow flower bed and every year Mom would sow a packet of virginia stock in there. I can still remember their lovely perfume on warm summer evenings. The little verse is part of a poem written by my sister Cath.
Today I have sowed some of the new seed, four cucumber, four melon and two courgette. They are in 3″ pots and covered in cling film. We have been given the go ahead by Jim, the chairman, to put the greenhouse on the plot so Sunday looks like being a busy day.

'Twas the night before December, and all thro' TAY,
All were writing and reading, about games they will play,
And as Christmas comes closer, we may all want to give favour,
To these lovely people and community, and the fruits of their labour,
So I present to you my gift, a free game buffet!
One to be listed, here once a day.'
Hey TAY. I'm sure many of you will be looking to open the first little flap on your advent calendar tomorrow, as you begin your daily chocolate routine. December 1st means time to open that advent calendar!
However, I've not really been a fan of chocolate. I prefer videogames instead. So, for this month, instead of eating a chocolate once a day, I'm going to write about a game!
More specifically, a free game that we all can play and talk about.
At 6am everyday (EST time), I will post a new article about a free PC game for us all to play. Mostly, these games will be ones that I've found online, on itch.io or Steam. There will be a mixture of those from 2017 and before, however hopefully there won't be too many games that you've already played.
I've played A LOT to curate this list, so I promise there won't be any games that waste your time (in a bad way). Some will be fun, some will be particularly interesting, and some may just be there to make you laugh. Either way, I hope to surprise you.
I have also tried to choose short games. No one has the time to play an 8-hour game everyday for over 3 weeks, so I've mainly stuck to quicker experiences. That being said, I will put a 'Time to Play' estimate, so you can decide whether you have the time or not.
Then, once you've played it, hopefully you'll want to meet me down in the comment section and we can have a fruitful discussion of them.
Sound fun? I hope so.
It starts tomorrow!

Weight Loss Nutrition
From Rebecca Katz. The Longevity Kitchen.
Weight Loss
Obesity and overweight
Obesity means having excess body fat. Obesity is defined by three factors: your body mass index, or BMI, which is calculated from your height and weight; your waist circumference (measurement) and; your waist to hip ratio, which is the proportion between your waist measurement and hip measurement. If you are obese, you have a greater risk of diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, stroke, and some types of cancer. Obesity can cause sleep apnea and breathing problems, and can also cause problems during pregnancy or make it more difficult for a woman to become pregnant.
Overweight is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. We look at the amount of excess body fat you have, and where you tend to accumulate it, to determine your individual risk of additional health problems.
We use a combination of examination, laboratory and special studies to diagnose your health status and determine your body fat composition. We talk to you about what your numbers and your risk factors mean for you, and we help you choose therapeutic lifestyle changes to reach your healthy weight. Our treatment goal is to lower your body weight and body fat percentage, and your risk factors with a personalized nutrition and exercise program. We periodically monitor your dietary and exercise habits, and your laboratory values to determine your treatment plan over time. Contact us to find out more.

Effective April 25, 2019, the Biden Foundation suspended operations. Read more.
This summer, Dr. Jill Biden was the U.S. patron for the Walk of America, a coast-to-coast expedition of six wounded veterans across the continental United States. The Walk of America was the first-ever U.S. expedition of Walking With The Wounded.
Established in 2010, Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) supports a pathway for vulnerable veterans to re-integrate back into society and sustain their independence. Prince Harry has served as patron since its inception and led the team on expeditions to the North Pole, Mount Everest, and the South Pole.
This year's Walk of America comprised six wounded veterans, three from the U.S. and three from the U.K., walking 1,000 miles in 12 weeks across the country. Starting in Los Angeles on June 2nd, and finishing in New York City on September 6th, the team passed some of America's most iconic cities and landmarks. The endeavor aims to further strengthened ties between the two nations and to develop additional awareness around the recovery and well-being of wounded veterans
Dr. Biden kept up with the team throughout the summer. She and Vice President Biden called the team at the start of their journey to wish them luck, she sent them notes along the road, sent cakes on their birthdays, and met them in person in St. Louis.
Dr. Biden and Vice President Biden greeted the team at the finish line in New York. Taking place just a few days before the 17th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Dr. Biden and the team toured the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to learn more about that tragic day and more importantly, the resilience of New York City and the rest of the country in its aftermath.
Dr. Biden and Vice President Biden joined the team for a ceremonial wreath laying at the 9/11 Memorial on September 6th.
The team triumphantly completed their 1,000-mile journey at the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Garden in lower Manhattan, where an enthusiastic crowd of supporters met them with appreciation for their service and part in the Walk of America. Dr. Biden and Vice President Biden both addressed the crowd to praise the team and organizations like Walking With The Wounded that strive to assist veterans, service members, and military families with mental health struggles.
As a military mother, Dr. Jill Biden understands the experiences of military families: supporting their service members, feeling incredible pride for their work, and also carrying the fear that comes with this sacrifice. In her role as second lady, she brought significant attention to the challenges faced by military families, in part through Joining Forces, which she created in partnership with former first lady Michelle Obama.
The walk may have concluded but the work continues. To learn more about Walking With The Wounded, and the organizations it supports, click here.
"Today marks the end of this walk, but the work must continue. I hope everyone here today—military, yes, but especially our civilian guests—will commit to keeping the spirit of this walk alive."

Middle Tennessee is looking to bounce back after the Blue Raiders' loss to Florida International last week.
MTSU (3-3, 2-1 Conference USA) hosts Charlotte (3-3, 2-1) for homecoming at 2 p.m. Saturday.
"I told our team (on Sunday), this is the best Charlotte team we've played since they came to the conference," MTSU coach Rick Stockstill said. "... I tip my hat to (Charlotte coach) Brad Lambert and what he's done with this program. You can see his influence and the direction he's got this program going."
Charlotte's football program joined Conference USA in 2015. MTSU has won all three previous meetings.
Here are five things to watch:
MTSU coach Rick Stockstill previews the Charlotte game during a press conference on Oct. 15, 2018. Murfreesboro Daily News Journal
Brent Stockstill's status
Stockstill said on Monday that his son and starting quarterback Brent Stockstill's status for the game is uncertain. Stockstill hurt his left ankle in the 24-21 loss to FIU after completing a pass in the second quarter. Backup Asher O'Hara, who threw for 114 yards and rushed for 85 against the Panthers, is scheduled to start if Stockstill cannot play.
More: How backup quarterback Asher O'Hara ended up with MTSU football
Charlotte loses starting quarterback
Charlotte also is having injury issues at quarterback. Starter Chris Reynolds was hurt in the win over Western Kentucky and will miss the rest of the season after having ankle surgery, according to David Scott of The Charlotte Observer. Evan Shirreffs will start for Charlotte. Shirreffs was 5-of-7 passing for 118 yards and a touchdown last week.
Jovante Moffatt will miss first half
Safety Jovante Moffatt will miss the first half against Charlotte after being ejected for targeting against FIU. Moffatt was penalized for a hit to the helmet in the third quarter. As a result, he will have to sit out the first half and can return during the second half. Wesley Bush and Kylan Stribling will rotate at safety in his place.
Limiting Benny LeMay
Charlotte junior running back Benny LeMay is having a breakout season. LeMay is second in the conference, behind Florida Atlantic's Devin Singletary, with 535 rushing yards, and he has scored five touchdowns.
"Benny LeMay is a hard-nosed and downhill runner," Stockstill said. "I think he has deceptive speed. He does a good job in the passing game, too, so he's a complete back and can do a lot of great things for them."
Wine to be sold at Floyd Stadium
MTSU began selling beer at Floyd Stadium on Sept. 8 Murfreesboro Daily News Journal
MTSU athletics director Chris Massaro said that a wine selection will be available at Saturday's game. Alcohol sales at Floyd Stadium began Sept. 8. Divino merlot and pinot grigio will be available.

- Excellent service! I was told by my general Dentist that I needed a root canal, something I've known I needed for quite some time, but because of my fear I've put the treatment off, until recently waking up with the WORSE toothache ever! I was referred to Willow Glen Dental Specialists. Made the call, they were able to see me the same day and from the moment I walked in I felt at ease. Dr. Kim is gentle, very thorough and was patient enough to answers alllll my questions! Great staff!
- Stacee B.
Easy to schedule, everyone was pretty pleasant, super clean and modern. Didn't think I could have such a good experience at a dental office. If I ever need another tooth pulled, I know where to go. Thanks Dr. Makan.

Test Objectives:
This test is designed primarily to assess children's language proficiency and readiness to enter school. This test is designed to detect children with language and / or language problems, which in turn will affect the child's ability to learn basic academic skills in the primary grades of the school.
2 - Measuring the readiness of children in terms of abilities and skills of language and logic that qualify them to succeed and is an indicator of their ability to learn and continue to school.
3. Early detection of speech and language disorders for children aged 5 to 6 years and 11 months.
4. This test from kindergarten and first grade in reducing the impact of speech and language problems on the child's ability to learn and succeed through the development of educational plans appropriate to the abilities of the child after the identification.
Test description:
A test designed to assess the initial school readiness of children between the ages of five and six years and ten months.
The test of the Jeddah Center for Speech and Hearing (JASH) for primary school preparation is the first test of its kind in the Arab world.
This test serves teachers and teachers in the primary grades, kindergartens, speech and language disorders, and cognitive development of children.
Target age group:
Children between 5, 6 and 11 months.
Language skills and academic skills:
The child's ability to learn and succeed in school depends on the integrity and efficiency of his linguistic, communicative and communicative skills
Statistics indicate that the prevalence of verbal and language problems in pre-school children ranges from 5% to 8%. These problems may continue into school age, leading to low academic attainment and social and behavioral problems in these children (2006, US Prevalence Task Force). As Bishop and Leonard (2000) note that when speech and language problems are detected early and treated early, chances of improvement and progression are very high. Children with developmental or linguistic retardation are more likely to have academic, behavioral and behavioral problems (Bishop & Leonard, 2000)

Moving on, put your hands on the floor directly in front of, and just inside, your feet and obviously shift your weight onto them and there you have it. We're moving onto the fourth step.
Next up, spring your feet back so that you softly land on the balls of your feet in a floorboard position. This step will allow your body to form a straight line from your head to heels. But bear in mind, do not let your back sag as this grave mistake can prevent you from doing it the right way.
We're almost there, bounce your feet back so that your feet land just outside of your hands. It sounds a bit tricky but it isn't that hard.
The second last step is to allow your arms to reach over your head and jump up into the air.
Yippie, we're there. Now land and straight away lower back into a squat for your next rep.
Can you believe it, we're done. Burpees are super flexible, doing a burpee for the very first time can be a pain in the neck. But, once you get the hang of it, you'll be over the moon.

Public Policy attorney Mark Delegal spoke to the Florida Politics on Governor Ron DeSantis' proposed plan to allow the state to import prescription drugs from Canada. Mr. DeSantis' main goal behind the plan is to cut drug costs. The Florida Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations Committee approved this proposal that would authorize the state to ask the federal government to approve the program.
Mr. Delegal, who is a lobbyist for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufactures of America, explains that there are other ways to lower prescription drug costs, like cracking down on pharmacy benefit managers who fail to pass along savings and rebates to consumers.
"People are watching you," said Mr. Delegal. "Counterfeiters are watching you. The public is watching you. And when you give a green light to this Canadian system, it's going to change public conduct. They are going to go out and start saying, "Hey, this has been green-lighted.' And all the counterfeiters will pop up and begin to make their products available."

New ophthalmologist joins Atlantic Eye MD
Dr. Juan Carlos de Rivero Vaccari, left, has joined Dr. Frederick Ho's staff at Athletic Eye MD.
photo by George White
Dr. Frederick Ho has added a fellow Ophthalmologist to his staff at Atlantic Eye MD who has the highest level related academic qualifications for innovations in the field — a Ph.D. in Neuroscience.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Juan Carlos de Rivero Vaccari, originally from Lima, Peru, started work here Aug. 1. He earned his doctorate from the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy from the Lousiana State University Health Services Center.
The Atlantic Eye MD at 8040 N. Wickham Rd. in Suntree has a medical practice and adjacent surgical center that treats patients with a variety of eye diseases, but mostly cataracts and glaucoma: diseases associated with the aging baby boomer population.
- A cataract is simply a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. This is a normal part of the aging process, but may also result from an injury or as a complication from another medical condition. Most people with cataracts have them in both eyes although they may develop at different rates. Corrective surgery is performed on on an outpatient basis.
- Glaucoma is a sight-threatening disease affecting the optic nerve — the direct connection between each eye and the brain. When glaucoma damages optic nerves, areas of blind spots develop in the peripheral vision. As the nerves deteriorate, so does vision. If untreated, blindness eventually occurs. Even with treatment, optic nerve damage cannot be reversed, only stopped.
"This is the first time I've had another ophthalmologist join my practice. Besides practicing general ophthalmology, he also has expertise in macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, both areas that we've seen a tremendous demand for in this county. He's also a skilled cataract surgeon,'' Dr. Ho said.
"There's a growing demand enough to have another ophthalmologist here with the growing medical age group of the aging baby boomers,'' he said.
In addition to all the medical qualifications needed to become an Ophthalmologist and his Ph.D., de Rivero Vaccari later completed a post doctoral fellowship where he studied neuroprotective and neurodegenerative pathways in the retina.
"The retina is an extension of the brain. Pretty much my entire life I've been dedicated to the eye. It's amazing that after all these years I am still fascinated by it. Things are always changing in this field so that makes it so exciting. There are always new discoveries. That is one of the reasons that I also did my Ph.D., to have that scientific exposure to the new developments,'' he said.
Shifting back to clinical training, de Rivero Vaccari then obtained his medical degree from the Louisiana State School of Medicine. He completed his internship in internal medicine and residency in Ophthalmology at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine/Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. Earlier he also had received a bachelor's degree in Biology from Florida International University in Miami.
Dr. Ho specializes in cataract surgery, multifocal lens implants, laser surgery, diabetic eye diseases, glaucoma and macular degeneration as well as other vision disorders.
Atlantic Eye MD is located at 8040 N. Wickham Rd., Melbourne. For information, call 321-757-7272 or go to drho.cc.

Another year for SoleFest, another insane event in West Palm Beach. If you are surprised at this point, I really don't know what to tell you. Over 100 vendors and thousands of fans through the door, literally making this our biggest event of all time.

Imagine walking into the mall and only seeing the most exclusive kicks and apparel everywhere you turn, in every size. That was SoleFest West Palm Beach from 12 to 5pm.

Music by Alan Menken. Lyrics by Jack Feldman. Book by Harvey Fierstein. Directed by Jeff Calhoun. Until Aug. 30 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre, 244 Victoria St. 416-872-1212.
If I were you, I'd get down as soon as possible to the Ed Mirvish Theatre, where Newsies opened on Thursday, before the amazing young men of the cast dance their way right through the stage floor.
Don't laugh. It actually happened on Broadway, where I saw the show three years ago and the Grade A assortment of talent that's currently performing it here has all the energy and pizzazz of the original cast.
But what makes Newsies such a dynamite theatrical experience - not just for the target youth audience, but for their parents and grandparents as well – is that it's more than a collection of can't-forget-'em songs by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman, or a dazzlingly staged production by director Jeff Calhoun and choreographer Christopher Gattelli.
The show's secret weapon is that it's got a giant beating heart, just as big as, well, as Harvey Fierstein, who adapted it from the cult 1992 movie of the same name.
It tells the story of a dynamic time in U.S. history, just at the turn of the 20th century, when the newspaper business was the hottest thing in New York City, with iconic names like Joseph Pulitzer calling the shots.
But Newsies isn't about him, not really, although he figures in the cast. It's really about the scrappy street kids who went out every morning before dawn to hawk the papers on the streets of New York.
"We need an earthquake or a war," they sing in the killer opening number, "Carrying the Banner," because if they didn't sell all the papers they took in the morning, they had to pay the piper and these were kids who didn't' know where there next meal was coming from.
And one day in 1899 Pulitzer raised the price of the papers they bought each day and a revolution started.
It's a true story, which makes it all the more impressive, because you're really watching the beginning of kid power, the youth labour movement and the dawn of a century when those under 21 would come to wield incredible power.
It was also a time when women were breaking free of the shackles a male society had wrapped them in and it's no coincidence that the two leading female roles in Newsies are played by tough independent women: Angela Grovey as Medda Larkin, the big-voiced, open-armed entertainer, and Stephanie Styles as Katherine, a courageous young reporter truly born to the breed.
Styles, in particular, has a winning smile, an embrace of a voice and the courage to spit out lines like military commands. She's swell.
But it's really the boys' show and they are all something to write home about.
Dan DeLuca practically vibrates with working-class energy as the embryonic labour leader Jack Kelly, while Jacob Kemp brings a sweet Talmudic wisdom as his gentle sidekick, Davy. Zachary Sayle is heartbreakingly appealing as the crippled Crutchie, simply by playing for energy and humour instead of pathos.
And kid performers don't come any better than Vincent Crocilla as the diminutive Les, who redefines the word cheeky for once and for all.
Steve Blanchard is appropriately venal yet powerful as Pulitzer and Kevin Carolan wraps the show's plot up amiably with a fine take on Teddy Roosevelt.
Yes, the book is great and the actors heartfelt, but it's the dancing that truly takes Newsies up into the stratosphere. It's West Side Story meets Seven Brides for Seven Brothers: a combination of athletic energy and coltish charm that is totally sublime.
There are two hit musicals in Toronto now: Newsies and Kinky Boots. And they have three things in common: they're both written by Harvey Fierstein, they're both presented by Mirvish Productions and they're both a spectacular way to spend a couple of hours this summer.

Don't Sleep Through the Storm
Gifted Sleepers
My husband has a gift for sleeping. He falls asleep within minutes of his head hitting the pillow, and he's perfected the art of the power nap. He can also sleep on airplanes, even during turbulence. In fact, I've witnessed him fall asleep prior to takeoff and not wake until landing for shorter flights. I'm jealous. I do not have that gift.
I think Jonah had a gift for sleeping too. After choosing to deliberately disobey God, Jonah heads in the opposite direction of God's leading. He boards a ship to Tarshish (the most remote location he could think of) and promptly falls asleep in the ships belly. In fact, Jonah sleeps so soundly that he fails to wake even when the storm hits.
"But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep. So the captain came to him, 'What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.'" (Jonah 1:5-6)
In other words, "How in the world can you sleep in this storm?"
Now, maybe Jonah was just a good sleeper like my husband. Or, maybe he's like so many of us who sleep (literally and figuratively) in order to avoid God-given responsibility (or responsibility of any kind for that matter). Regardless, it took a serious storm plus another person shaking him awake to finally get Jonah moving.
What can we learn from this single scene in the rather short story of Jonah?
- Storms are sometimes from God. Whether he allows or sends them, storms (trials) are sometimes God's tools for shaping our lives.
- God sometimes uses others to shake us into action. We often fail to have the right perspective during our own trials and need to hear another's perspective to help us get moving.
- God sometimes uses unbelievers to direct believers. The captain was not a believer (yet), but he still implored Jonah to call on his God because the captain's god (or gods) wasn't getting the job done.
- God uses storms to get us moving in the right direction. The more determined the disobedience, likely the more powerful the storm. If there's a raging storm in your life, consider how God might be using it to direct you.
- Even the best sleeper can't ignore God forever. We can choose to dismiss Him, but no trick exists for completely and permanently avoiding Him. We will one day have to face Him (Galatians 6:7).
Try as we might, whether by literally sleeping or by "sleeping" in the form of busyness and distractions, we cannot avoid storms meant to set us on the right track. Over time, however, we may put our awareness of God to sleep and become less and less able to see and hear His directing. Let us each determine first not to be deliberately disobedient and to secondly not "sleep" during God's redirecting.
DISCUSSION: How can we be sure to avoid "sleeping" and missing God's directives?
Consider reading the following posts for helping answer this question:
It's Not Fair!
Competition & Comparison
Everyone has some degree of competitiveness in them. For some, the competitiveness shows through during sports or card games. For others, in grades, awards and recognition. Still others through the way they drive and even "fight" for the best parking spot at the grocery store.
In that competitiveness inherent in our human nature, we also usually see comparisons at work. It's the idea that we did something that someone else didn't, or vise versa, which resulted in the recognition or victory.
We like to get what we think we deserve, and often we determine this based on what we think others deserve (or don't deserve). If the result fails to reflect what we feel fits our expectations and assessment of the situation, we feel cheated or slighted and say (or at least think) those infamous words, "It's not fair!"
Fairness Mentality
The story of the vineyard workers in Matthew 20 shows how this fairness mentality really involves a worldly way of thinking. It's the idea that we should get something simply based on time served (seniority). But God considers quality over quantity. When we fall short, His grace steps in to more than make up the difference.
When we begin to compare and make assessments based on our views, this story can help us remember that…
- Salvation is all about grace.
"…even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for ALL those who believe; for there is no distinction; for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24)
- Expectations kill attitudes.
"When those hired earlier came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they too, were paid a day's wage. When they received their pay, they protested…" (Matthew 20:10-11)
- Fairness mentality robs joy.
"He answered one of them, 'Friend, I haven't been unfair! Didn't you agree to work all day for the usual wage? Take it and go. I wanted to pay the last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my own money? Should you be angry because I am kind?'" (Matthew 20:13-16)
Without comparisons, we often would be perfectly content with what we received. But because we compare and calculate based on our finite knowledge, we too often discover dissatisfaction and lose joy. Oh, and we end up steeling other people's joy along the way when we crab about their generosity.
Focus on Grace & Mercy
Jesus ends this story in Matthew by saying…
"And so it is, that many who are first now will be last then; and those who are last now will be first then." (Matthew 20:16)
I realize this indicates a lack of seniority in God's Kingdom, and I know it also shows that anyone at anytime can enter God's Kingdom regardless of past history. In other words, man's idea of ranking and placing and deservedness doesn't exist in God's way of thinking. Aren't you glad too? I mean, I don't want to be compared to Moses or David or Paul. Do you?
But I also think this statement contains a directive that can reshape our way of thinking. Instead of looking at others and determining what they or you deserve based on comparisons, can we instead focus on the kindness of the giver? Can we look at the grace and mercy at work in the situation?
When we change our focus in this way, I think we can better live in the joy of the Lord. What do you think?
Preventing Decision Fatigue
The best way to become overwhelmed with decisions, to experience Decision Fatigue, comes through doing absolutely nothing to prevent it. People who consistently make good decisions & maintain consistent self control structure their lives to conserve willpower (their decision-making energy). In other words, they employ habits that allow for consistent regulation of decisions.
Scripture has a lot to say about decision making to help each one of us make better decisions and better direct our decision-making energy.
1. Develop a habit of preparedness. (Matthew 24:44)
Preparedness requires spending regular time with the Father and learning His will. It means letting the Holy Spirit guide and direct decisions. Preparedness also involves taking care of the physical self, which helps maintain a long-term focus instead of being driven by immediate needs.
2.) Simplify. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Many of us become overwhelmed because of unnecessarily complicated (heavy) lives. Simplifying means automating where possible and releasing where necessary. Very few things are truly mandatory, things we actually HAVE to do. Decide non-negotiables, and then use energy for bigger decisions.
3.) Learn to say "no." (Luke 10:41-42)
We don't have to accept every opportunity presented. In fact, opportunities often distract from God's desire for us. Many of our decisions involve deciding among good, better and best, not between good and bad. Jesus emphasized this when he said that what Martha wanted to do wasn't bad, but what Mary chose was better. Know "How to Make Consistent Progress" by focusing on your purpose as Jesus did, and you'll have a clear idea of what to say "no" to and what to accept by way of opportunity.
4.) Let others do their part.
(Exodus 18:23-24; Acts 6:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:27)
Jethro advised Moses to delegate, so Moses wouldn't get worn out and the people frustrated. The disciples needed to delegate in order to focus on their roles and still ensure needs were met. The concept of the body of Christ tells us we all have our own work to do, which also tells us some decisions just aren't ours to make. We must allow others to fully do their parts too.
5.) Refuse to second guess. (Matthew 4:18-22)
Just as the the disciples did when Jesus called them into ministry, make the best decision you can and fully commit to it. Second guessing wears you and your ability to make good decisions — or any decisions at all — down.
6.) Develop an eternal focus. (Psalm 61:2)
Developing an eternal focus involves prioritizing toward that which benefits eternally rather than just temporally. It means getting our focus off self and off of what satisfies only in this world and onto our Creator who knows what is best for us.
Overcoming Decision Fatigue
The path to overcoming and preventing Decision Fatigue requires unique steps for each individual, yet all can apply the same biblical concepts. For every person that means…
- Examining hearts & removing idols of self-reliance.
- Learning to say "no" to good and trusting God's leading toward best.
- Consulting with God regularly.
- Being intentional about self-care.
- Setting boundaries.
- Living within God's will.
- Living in community.
Do you feel overwhelmed thinking about where to start?
Let that overwhelm draw you to Christ and to his power. Remember that the resurrection of the dead revealed God's unsurpassable power, and that we have access to that same power (Ephesians 1:19-20).
Ask God where to start. Ask Him how to become less overwhelmed with decision-making. Let Him gradually lead you to a place of focus where you feel His peace and where you can live with joy and effectiveness rather than in overwhelm.
Decision Fatigue
Choice Overload
As my least favorite domestic activity, grocery shopping looms on the horizon of my schedule like an approaching storm during a picnic. Never finished, I almost always start a new list before the bags get unpacked and the kitchen storage filled. Add to that the usual dissatisfaction with items both purchased and forgotten, the tempest continually stirs.
Worse than its constant, unfinished state is the vast number of choices that come with the endeavor. All these elements combine to make grocery shopping the bane of my domestic duties.
Maybe grocery shopping doesn't pique your anxiety like it does mine, but I'm guessing you relate in some way to the reality of decision overload. In fact, the United States exists as a culture of choices with so many options that we get stressed out simply by the sheer number of decisions coming at us almost nonstop in almost every aspect of life.
The Impact of Overwhelm
We all understand the importance of making good decisions. Unfortunately, the ability to make the right decision matters little when overwhelmed with too may choices. Research proves that the more decisions made and the more options within those decisions, the less able a person becomes to make good decisions of any size.
In other words, as we make more and more decisions, we also make poorer and poorer decisions. And often, much of our decision-making energy goes toward a lot of small, often trivial, decisions, and this serves to increase the chances of the bigger decisions becoming epic failures.
Our ability to make decisions works much like a muscle that gets fatigued with use. Think of it this way, "decision fatigue" or "choice overload" is why…
- Coaches and quarterbacks often make poor decisions late in games.
- Judges grant parole less often as the day goes on.
- Parents give in to their kids incessant pestering.
- People make unhealthy dinner choices after a long day at work.
- Exercise gets nixed for the couch & the television in the evening.
- Families struggle with finances after habitually impulsive decisions.
- Great men & women of God make worldly choices in their personal lives.
Decision fatigue also explains why many people become easily frustrated and irritable since a person's brain becomes less able to regulate behavior the more decisions made. Thus, this fatigue also affects how we love others.
The Outcomes of Decision Fatigue
One of two outcomes generally results from decision fatigue. First, a person becomes reckless & impulsive and simply fails to expend the energy to think before making decisions. This creates a pattern of destructiveness that ends up making most problems worse.
The second result is doing nothing. Initially, this appears simply as the easy way out; eventually though, this route makes a person resistant to almost any kind of change since continuing unhealthy habits is simply easier than changing. When we suffer from decision fatigue, satisfying immediate needs is easier than developing the self control needed to make healthy choices.
The spiritual impact of decision fatigue comes when we just don't have the energy left over for the bigger decisions or for seeking God's will rather than simply following the feelings of the flesh. Instead, we spend our decision-making energy on temporal matters and either just don't get around to deciding about eternal matters or simply don't even consider the difference between decisions that are only important in this life and ones extending into eternity.
How does decision overload/fatigue impacts you on a regular basis.
After taking some time to analyze the existence of decision fatigue in your life, take the next step and being Preventing Decision Fatigue from happening in the first place.

We provide a lot of examples for REBOUND. We think examples are the easiest way to learn how to use REBOUND. This is a list of all examples that come with REBOUND. You can find all the source code for these in the examples and ipython_examples directories.
The examples are sorted by topic. Note that some examples use the C version, other the python version of REBOUND. Often, the syntax is very similar and you might want to look at the c examples even if you want to write python code and vice verse.
Planetary systems¶
All examples in this section are related to simulations of planetary systems.
The following examples are good if you're just starting to use REBOUND.
If you want to capture close encounters and collisions between particles, have a look at the following examples.
The following examples demonstrate how to calculate orbital elements.
If you are interested in simulating a planetary system in which there are many small particles, have a look at the following examples.
Some more advanced topics are covered in the following examples.
- Advanced settings for WHFast: Extra speed, accuracy, and additional forces (iPython)
- High Order Symplectic Integrators (C)
- Resonances of Jupiter's moons, Io, Europa, and Ganymede (iPython)
- Calculating Transit Timing Variations (TTV) with REBOUND (iPython)
- Loading Hyperbolic Orbits into REBOUND (iPython)
- High Order Symplectic Integrators (iPython)
- Embedded Operator Splitting (EOS) Methods (iPython)
Checkpoints and Simulation Archive¶
All examples in this section demonstrate how to store, reload and restart simulations. They also show how to use the Simulation Archive. It is a framework that allows you to not only restart simulations, but recreate them bit-by-bit in a machine independent way. With the simulation archive you can run a simulation first, then think later about how you want to analyze it.
Variational Equations and Chaos detectors¶
REBOUND supports first and second order variational equations. Varational equations have several advantages over shadow particles when calculating chaos indicators such as Lyapunov exponents. They can also be used in optimization problems. For more details on variational equations and the math behind them, have a look at the paper Rein and Tamayo 2016 and the following examples.
If you are interested in chaos indicators such as MEGNO, have a look at the following examples.
Additional forces¶
REBOUND lets you add additional forces to your simulations. These can be used to simulate radiation drag, general relativistic corrections, planet migration or any other force that you can come up with. The following list has a few simple examples. You might also want to check out REBOUNDx which is an add-on to REBOUND that has many additional forces already implemented, so you don't have to do the work.
Granular Dynamics¶
The examples in this section show how to use REBOUND for simulations in which particles are colliding with each other. Note that this is a different type of simulation than simulations of colliding planets. Here, particles collide often with each other. In the planet case, they collide with each other very rarely.
Tree code¶
REBOUND has a built in Barnes-Hut oct tree for collision detection and gravity. This allows you, for example, to simulate large gravitationally interacting systems.
Planetary rings¶
The following examples show simulations integrating particles in planetary rings. They use values characteristic for Saturn's rings but can also be used for other ring systems.
REBOUND comes with several built-in visualization tools. Most of the C examples can be run with OPENGL visualization (just edit the make file in the corresponding directory). If you use Jupyter notebooks, you can use a webGL widget that interactively runs in your notebook. REBOUND also comes with tools that can be used to visualize orbits using the matplotlib library. The following examples illustrate the visualization feature for python.
Removing particles¶
The following examples illustrate how to remove particles from simulations, i.e. after a collision.
And finally, the following examples didn't fit anywhere else. They for example show how to use hashes to identify particles.

A soldier became the fourth British serviceman to be killed by a Taliban bomb in Afghanistan yesterday.
The infantryman, from the 1st Battalion The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, died following the explosion while he was on foot patrol in the Jamai Kowi area of the Nahr-e Saraj district of Central Helmand.
His family has been informed according to the Ministry of Defence and his death brings the number of British service personnel killed since war began in Afghanistan to 389.
May he rest in peace.

Solving the counterfeit toys puzzle
The toy industry is big business. Sales in the U.S. alone amount to approximately $27 billion annually. But while toy sales in the U.S. indicate a small growth, the three largest toymakers reported a drop in sales during the 2017 Christmas period, and UK TOY SALES decreased by 2.8% in 2017.
The reason? With an increased use of tablets and smartphones by kids eight and under, mobile gaming is often blamed. However, a study, by Common Sense Media, found that the increased time spent on mobile devices was offset by an equal decline in TV viewing, so the time kids have to play with traditional toys hasn't actually changed.
So, what is the cause? Simple - counterfeit toys.
"The increasing breadth and depth of counterfeit toys is a real concern, with more than £400m worth of (UK) sales being lost to the industry, as well as the cost to companies from the theft of innovative design", commented The British Toy & Hobby Association (BTHA) Director of Public Affairs and Communications, Natasha Crookes. New Zealand Customs has also stressed that the most commonly stopped good at their border is children's counterfeit toys, which account for more than half of all seizures.
The counterfeit toy hindrance was further confirmed in the recent EUIPO Synthesis Report on IPR Infringement, which claims 9.3% of toy and game sales are lost to counterfeiters. The toy and game sector suffered the third biggest loss in terms of direct sales out of the 13 sectors named as being vulnerable to intellectual property (IP) rights infringement across the EU. In response to the report findings, the BTHA commented,
"Counterfeiting has always been a concern for the toy industry but the rise of online sales, which now account for 37% of toy sales, has only intensified the problem, making it more difficult for counterfeit goods to be detected and removed from online marketplaces."
The U.S. Toy Association also raised concerns about IP infringement and toy safety on online platforms at a recent meeting in Washington, DC. Discussions with Alibaba and Amazon centered around possible solutions to help verify the safety and legitimacy of products offered for sale on their platforms. A white paper from the Toy Association, which will discuss these solutions in greater detail, is planned.
Yellow Brand Protection work with a number of well-known toy brands, to help detect and take down sales of counterfeits online. One of these toy brands is the iconic Rubik's Brand, who knows all too well about the enormity of online IP infringements.
When the Rubik's Cube popularity began to rise again, a growing number of fakes also began to emerge. This led to a whole new company, Rubik's Brand Limited, being created to handle all licensing and marketing. Key to Rubik's Brand growth has been the signing up of licensees to sell approved products such as merchandise and clothing. However, licensing alone could not stop online counterfeiters and Rubik's Brand sought the assistance of an online brand protection solution to detect those who are trying to sell the brand without an official license. To date over 98% of infringing Rubik's goods for sale on online marketplaces have been successfully removed.
Rubik's Brand Limited recently featured in industry trends and best practice resource, Business Review Magazine, in which Haley Woodward, Head of Marketing at Rubik's Brand Limited, talks about why they are expanding into licensing and how they plan to turn the Cube into brand. A special feature copy of the article can be downloaded here.

Five questions with 'Louisiana Super Lawyer' Christine Lipsey
With 37 years of experience in Baton Rouge's legal scene, Christine Lipsey is widely recognized throughout Louisiana for her expertise in commercial litigation, having served as the first female president of the Baton Rouge Bar Association. Day to day, she represents a mix of small and large businesses, state agencies, lenders and others for McGlinchey Stafford, also serving as the firm's general counsel.
Lipsey—recognized this year both as a Louisiana Super Lawyer and as one of the Best Lawyers in America, and nominated for a federal judgeship in 2011—recently talked with The Network about her own experiences as a female attorney in Baton Rouge, offering insight into the challenges and opportunities for women in the field.
As the first female president of the Baton Rouge Bar Association, how did your perspective and accomplishments differ from those of your predecessors?
"I was particularly interested in the educational efforts we had in place, including a "Lawyer in the Classroom" program, where lawyers explain their professions to school-aged students, and a strong moot court program. My greatest accomplishment was contributing to an already robust organization and maintaining its vibrancy."
With increased competition, has there been a shift in the mindset of corporate clients since your began your career?
"Corporate clients are more demanding now—they're definite about their expectations and view legal expenses as a cost center. We've got to be responsive to clients' desires and needs, as efficiently as possible. Many law firms should evaluate their efficiency and delivery of legal services."
One in three female lawyers has been sexually harassed at work. How rampant is this problem in Baton Rouge and what, if anything, is being done to address it?
"It's difficult to answer, because female lawyers' perceptions of sexual harassment have probably changed from when I started practicing in 1982. A behavior that someone might've overlooked back then might not be overlooked today. I have no doubt that it occurs, but people haven't come to me saying they were sexually harassed at work. McGlinchey Stafford has a robust program designed to address the issue, and I'm sure other firms do as well. That didn't exist three or four years ago. There's much greater awareness of and sensitivity to those issues now."
While more women than men work in the legal profession (68% vs 32%) men dominate the higher paying and higher ranking jobs contributing to a wide gender wage gap that in some cases nears 39%. Is this also an issue in Baton Rouge?
"Female attorneys have multiple roles they're juggling—parenting, managing a home and practicing law—and sometimes they're penalized from a compensation standpoint because they can't produce financially what a man could. Even now, female lawyers' numbers aren't reflected in equity ranks, meaning they aren't participating in a firm's profits."
What still needs to change within the field, locally?
"It's been worthwhile for private law firms to implement nontraditional schedules. But there also needs to be a greater recognition of the positive things female lawyers bring to the table: They're focused, decisive and efficient."
