Golf Course Condominiums
If you want to keep your hardwood floors looking their best, here are the steps to take. The Stark Team has over 50 years combined Las Vegas luxury real estate experience for our Team of 3. June and Lauren are broker-salespersons. If many members fall behind on dues it affects so many things, especially if it's a small arrangement of condos rather than one that has hundreds.
Not only are these condos changing the way we live in an urban setting, but they are conveying much more to the bargaining table then ever before. Mareazul is probably the ideal within these types of beach front real estate investment assignments which might be providing beachfront condominiums for sale.
If you want to live in the center of an urban area like Chicago, Miami, Houston, or Dallas, where condos are typically found, a condo may be a great choice for you. Naturally, …

Fairfax GOP Endorses Candidates for Soil & Water Conservation Board
The Fairfax County Republican Committee officially endorsed three candidates for the county's Soil and Water Conservation Board by acclamation Tuesday night in Falls Church, Virginia: Chris Bowen, Jane Dudik and Ed McGovern.
Chris Bowen earned his JD from George Washington University's law school and clerked for the 7th District Court of Appeals. As a trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, Mr. Bowen litigated two cases involving extensive soil and water issues.
Jane Dudik holds a PhD in Environmental Science and Policy from George Mason University. As a U.S. Department of Defense contractor, Ms. Dudik has experience coordinating with federal agencies regarding environmental concerns. In addition, she is a volunteer site leader for the Fairfax County Parks Department, coordinating efforts to remove invasive plants and reestablish native plants.
Ed McGovern has a MS in Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. McGovern has worked extensively for the U.S. Department of Defense, both at home and overseas. His work frequently involves the coordination of funding, personnel and policies at federal, state and local levels.
"I am thrilled to endorse our phenomenal slate of candidates for the soil and water conservation board," Fairfax GOP Chairman Tim Hannigan said today. "Our three candidates are extremely well-qualified and ready to serve on day one."

Hello my friends! Welcome to another episode of "What The Walking Dead"! This is our first episode without our hero, Rick Grimes. Like all of you, I have been skeptical about what the show will be like going forward. I am proud to say that this show has only continued to improve with each episode. I absolutely loved this week's episode, even though it was set six years after the disappearance of Rick Grimes. So grab your wigs, we have a lot to talk about!
Six Years Later
Six years after Rick Grimes blew up that bridge, life continues to move. The communities appear to be moving forward peacefully but separately. Michonne likely went through the most change as she continues to serve as a leader in her community. She has grown tougher, yet still has her eyes on peace and security. Under her care, she has Judith Grimes now all grown up as well as a child i am guessing she had with Rick during this time jump. Carol is now the unofficial queen of "The Kingdom" as she is married to Ezekiel and serves as grown-up Henry's mother. Father Gabriel is now in a relationship with Rosita. Daryl appears to be living as a hermit in the woods, but that is still to be determined. Even Eugene is starting to man up a little bit and took care of that awful mullet. Things have really changed.
Yet, I am still very in love with this idea because it all makes sense. The creative team really stayed true to each of these characters and how they would deal with their own traumatic experiences. So I am very excited to see what life is like for each of these characters including the ones we maybe didn't love before the time-jump. In a way we have a chance to get know to know veteran characters all over again. Proven by her little fire scene which we will talk about later, as long as Carol is still a bad-ass then I am happy.
Who The Hell Are You?
Judith Grimes is now grown up and living up to her nickname of "Little Ass-Kicker". On one of her little adventures she found a group of new people and convinced everyone to bring them back to Alexandria. In this new group we have Magna, the leader of this little group played by Nadia Hilker. She is clearly a bad-ass and I'm sure will be one of my new favorite characters. Then we have Luke who is played Dan Fogler . You may recognize Dan from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Eleanor Matsuura is playing Yumiko.
Then lastly we have two characters I am very excited to watch. Kelly is being played by Angel Theory, who is actually hard of hearing in real life. Then we have Tony nominated actress Lauren Ridloff who plays Connie. Lauren is actually deaf in real life and uses ASL to communicate in the show and real life. I love the fact that The Walking Dead is using these two actresses to serve as real representation for the deaf/hard of hearing community. These actresses have incredible stories and I am very excited to have them be apart of this show!
Watch Your Back
Ah, my dear Carol. Carol may have a new wig, but she is still the same terminator on the inside. This of course was one of my favorite scenes in this episode. Carol and Henry are on their way to… well somewhere? In that time, Carol ends up cornered by those punk-ass Saviors that shot up the campsite six years ago. They basically mug the two and spare their lives since Carol spared theirs all those years ago. Henry kind of makes Carol feel guilty for just letting them go. So in the middle of the night, Carol sneaks back to their camp and sets all of them on fire. Wow. I've said it before, and I will say it again. Do not mess with Carol. Carol can kick anyone's ass in this show if she wanted to so stay back. Yes, I have been made aware that Carol does not survive The Walking Dead comics. However I hope the show will consider keeping Carol on this show for as long as Melissa McBride so chooses because Carol just represents so much and has continually smashed the glass ceiling. Do not kill Carol!
Uh, What Was That?
The biggest scare of the episode has to do with the Walkers who are now… talking. When Rosita and Eugene are hiding in the mud, you hear one of the Walkers whisper,
"Don't let them get away". This scared me to the core. The idea of these Walkers somehow evolving is a pretty terrible fact. But then I realized this plot is likely one coming straight from the comic book series. I realize many of us, including me, do not read the comic series so I do not want to give anything away. But this is going to be very fun yet scary plot that will play out really well on television. Like we have seen before, the show does not always walk alongside the comic so we will have to see how this plays out. Until we get some more information, be afraid. Be very afraid.
In Summation
Carol's little fire scene snatched my wig, and put it on her head and I am content. Michonne's heartbreak is very believable and very interesting to watch especially for those who know what it's like to lose someone you love. Judith Grimes walking around the house with Rick's revolver is exactly the way I hoped her story-line will move forward when she was born. Father Gabriel gets around faster than Sidney Stokes and myself at a drag queen convention. This new girl Magna, (not to be confused with MAGA), is uh… well very beautiful and talented. So Jadis was literally just erased from the show like she never existed? If zombies can talk in complete sentences then there is really no excuse for Trump's pathetic ramblings. Did I mention that Carol is a bad-ass?
Well this was such a good episode! I am so happy. We only have two more episodes this year before we go on a mid-season break. Everyone prepare as I have a feeling the show is only getting better from here. Thank you all for reading with me and I can't wait to hear from you next week! Enjoy a preview of next week's episode below.

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.
Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes.
Two Pi Day, also known as Tau Day for the mathematical constant Tau, is observed on June 28 (6/28 in the month/day format).
In 1988, the earliest known official or large-scale celebration of Pi Day was organized by Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist,[8] with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies.[9] The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.
On March 12, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (111 H. Res. 224), recognizing March 14, 2009 as National Pi Day. For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the holiday, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols; and for the 30th anniversary in 2018, it was a Dominique Ansel pie with the circumference divided by its diameter.
The entire month of March 2014 (3/14) was observed by some as "Pi Month". In the year 2015, March 14 was celebrated as "Super Pi Day". It had special significance, as the date is written as 3/14/15 in month/day/year format. At 9:26:53, the date and time together represented the first 10 digits of π.

Top 10 Tips & Tricks for Backpackers in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a must do for any backpacker travelling through Europe. The city hosts beautiful canals, historic architecture, culinary delights and cobbled streets. There's so much to discover in this unique capital! Are you planning on visiting soon? We've come up with 10 useful tips and tricks for your next trip to the city of freedom: Amsterdam!
1. Hire a bike
Most of the must see sites in Amsterdam are easily accessible, you can walk your way through the city center or buy an €8 day pass for the public transport. The best way to see the city is to go Dutch, hop on a bike like the locals and discover the city on two wheels! You can find bike rentals all over town, where you can hire one between €8 - €20 per day. It's the most fun, easy, fast, cheap and green way to explore the beauty the city has to offer.
2. Get an I Amsterdam city card
If you're planning on visiting museums, attractions and getting around the city by using public transport, consider getting an I Amsterdam pass. The I Amsterdam pass includes free entrance to the most popular museums and attractions, a free trip on a canal boat, plus free use of public transportation and many other discounts.
3. Free walking tour
A visit to Amsterdam can be expensive, the city is known for being on the pricey side. Luckily, there are ways to cut down on expenses, for example by going on a free walking tour! Sandemans New Europe hosts a three hour long free walking tour that will show you all of the must-see attractions. You'll stroll by the iconic canals, historic Anne Frank House, classic Red Light District and much more. The tour meets at Dam Square, just make sure you leave a tip for the tour guide at the end.
4. Visit the city parks
Dutch weather is famous for being unpredictable but when the sun shines it's a dream! Everyone in Amsterdam heads to one of the many terraces to soak up some vitamin D. The best way to enjoy the summer rays is by checking out the city parks. Amsterdam's parks are renowned for being well-kept and are perfect for a midday picnic. The most well known being the Vondelpark right next to the Flying Pig Uptown. Other beautiful parks favoured by locals include Westerpark, Oosterpark or Flevopark.
5. Food tips
When in Amsterdam, go on a culinary trip, because after all the best way to discover new cultures is through food. Classic Dutch dishes include cheese, poffertjes, homemade apple pie, stamppot, Pannenkoeken (Dutch pancakes) and bitterballen. Definitely check out stroopwafels, thin caramel, waffles filled with sweet syrup. Delicious! Try to find a FEBO nearby, it's a walk-up fast food restaurant where you can get fresh fries, hamburgers, Dutch kroketjes and other snacks. It's most famous for the fast food vending machine; put in a coin and pull out a snack!
6. Go out!
Amsterdam by day is amazing, but Amsterdam by night? Even better! Dutchies love to go out, so you'll find enough bars and clubs to choose from during your stay. The two main squares to go to when you find yourself wanting to party, are Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein. If you're looking for a unique place to grab a drink, visit the Amsterdam Icebar, it's (literally) a cool spot near the Rembrandtplein. Want to meet other backpackers? Check out Belushi's, located in the Red Light District area it hosts Amsterdam's longest Happy Hour from midday until midnight with DJ's playing at night, guests staying at The Flying Pig get 25% discount off food there. Score!
7. Visit the Albert Cuyp market
Your trip to Amsterdam would not be complete without a visit to one of the most popular markets of the city: the Albert Cuyp market, located in the De Pijp. With more than 200 stalls, one thing is for sure, there's lots to discover there. It is open six days a week and you can find anything and everything here: from flowers, clothing, shoes and fabric to Dutch treats like fresh stroopwafels, raw herring, fresh poffertjes and Vietnamese spring rolls. After you've walked by all the stalls, check out the rest of De Pijp, a lively neighbourhood full of nice bars, cafés and restaurants, cute boutiques and picturesque streets.
8. Explore other neighbourhoods
While most tourists don't go beyond the city center, the neighborhoods outside the heart of Amsterdam are worth visiting. Hop on your bike and get lost in this beautiful city. In the westside of the capital you can find a lot of green and culture. In the Kinkerbuurt, near the Ten Kate market, there is an indoor food market called the Foodhallen. Here you can experience different types of food concepts and cuisines. Or visit the Amsterdam Noord, which you can easily get to by grabbing the ferry behind Central Station, for free. Enjoy the five minute ride, before you know it you're there! Definitely visit the A'Dam Lookout, an observation deck with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. If you're a daredevil or a thrill seeker, make sure to get on Europe's highest swing, on the deck!
9. Visit the fishing village Volendam
Do you have time left during your trip to explore the beauty of The Netherlands beyond the city of Amsterdam? Then why not take a day trip to Volendam. It's is easy to access from Central Station by bus. Volendam is a historical fishing village where you can take a picture in a traditional costume wearing wooden clogs. Don't forget to stop by a fish stall to grab a serving of raw herring or kibbeling, a fried snack consisting of battered pieces of fish served with a delicious sauce.
10. Money saving tips
After saving up for your backpacking adventure in Europe and the amazing city of Amsterdam, you might want to save some €€€. There are a lot of things you can see and do that don't cost a thing in Amsterdam. In the heart of the center, on the Spui, you can find the Begijnhof, a historical courtyard that dates back to the 14th century. You can also visit the library, Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam (OBA), located near Central Station. The beautiful architecture of the building and the lovely panoramic view of the city from the top floor, are worth checking out!

I spent the morning wandering around central York today. I took my last walk down the Shambles,
sat and enjoyed a pot of tea at one of the cafés there and generally felt a bit teary about saying goodbye to my fair city of York.
Then I transported our living Christmas tree to a friend's house,
where I enjoyed some more tea, some delicious home-made baklava and wonderful company.
Some good news: we have found a babysitter for Busby the bakfiets. Some friends will look after him while we decide what to do with him. I am sure he will be in good hands. Even if I did not have children, I would still choose to ride a bakfiets. They really do command the road; their handling and maneuverability is not compromised by their large size – they corner with smoothness and grace; pedestrians smile and comment when you cycle past and say things like "cool" and "awesome"; and you can carry all sorts of things in them like children, Christmas trees, nieces and sister-in-laws. The bakfiets is the king of all bicycles.
Some other news I want to write about here is that last year, a climate scientist friend who reads my blog, Victor, suggested I create an ios app which contains the latest IPCC report. I thought this was a fine idea and so began developing something after Christmas. I have a basic app on my own phone now which essentially just presents the table of contents as shown on the IPCC website and you can select and display, as pdf, the relevant chapter. It doesn't do much other than let you read, print, email etc the report but there probably wasn't much more to add except for searching and annotating maybe. Anyway, I thought I'd better write to the IPCC to ask for permission because I imagined there would be copyright concerns and there are. To my surprise, they said no, I cannot release this app. The reason they gave me is because they intend to make their own app. This sounds fine I guess, but why does it matter if there are two? I would not charge for my app, and I said so, and I am making it for free, so why not? They will no doubt pay thousands of dollars to create their own now so why is it so bad to have an amateur developer create and release a version for free which can be downloaded for free? This is very odd to me. Unless they fear I might alter the report in some way but I made clear that I would not do this. Anyway, I'm busy packing and moving now so it doesn't really matter.

Jerusalem vs Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea & Segregation.
After falling asleep on the train from Ben Gurion airport, I awoke to a torso-long gun being gripped by the hands of a man opposite.
My first thought was confusion; where was I again? My second, panic; were we under attack? And my third? Forced relief. Given his and everybody else's body language I assumed he was a soldier heading to or from work (in Israel 17 & 18 year old lads have to serve in the army.) Needless to say, my first impression of this conflicted nation wasn't a particularly pleasant one; for the remainder of the journey I sat silent & still..
Sadly, my discomfort didn't end on the tracks. I'm not sure if it were because I was white, English, young (and naive), gay or non-religious but, never in my life have I felt as vulnerable & uncomfortable as I did in Jerusalem; everyone I passed glared, shop keepers pulled me into their shops… One in particular shook my hand and refused to let go until I ventured inside. (I bought a wooden camel in order to leave amicably.)
The shops were interesting; more like caves sprouting off narrow meandering alleys & streets. The brickwork was intricate, the climate beautifully hot but the ambiance strangely surreal. (I did veer off the generic streets so maybe this is an unfair depiction of the world's 'holiest city'…)
From Jerusalem came a solo taxi ride to the Dead Sea where we passed through checkpoints and the building of a giant wall – both of which were 'tools to segregate the community,' my taxi driver informs me.
Considering it's the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea was completely understated (something I loved!) I stayed a few hours & had a swim (I didn't get the whole, 'you can't drown in it because of the salt…' Course you could drown in it!)
From here I ventured back to the capital, to the exact opposite of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv. This sky-scraper filled city was buzzing with life, warmth and vibrancy; beaches and walkways with spectacular views, bars and clubs galore; an obviously very different feel. One of my nights was spent in a gay club which was hosting a Eurovision themed event (it was fab – and the guys were lovely)
The unusual thing about Israel, was that I fell in love with what I normally dislike; big westernised cities, like Tel Aviv, whilst resenting what I usually crave; cultural places brimming with history… like Jerusalem.
In fairness, the people could have made the difference; with Jerusalem I was a fish out of water having just arrived. By the time I reached Tel Aviv, the culture shock may have settled plus I'd met up with old friends & met new ones… That said, I have no intention of ever returning but, if I were to, I'd categorically invest in a local tour guide for the Holy City – or arrange to meet people in advance.

Bad news for union-busters. According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, a majority of Americans oppose stripping public employee unions of collective bargaining rights. The poll also shows that most Americans oppose cutting state worker benefits or salaries in order to fix state budget deficits.
The poll surveyed 984 adults and has a three percentage point margin of error. When asked whether they support "taking away" some collective bargaining rights, 60 percent of respondents said they opposed the idea while 33 percent were in favor. As for benefits and wages, 56 percent opposed reducing them while 37 percent were in favor.
As the Times notes, the poll reflects an increase in support for unions from the support seen in previous polling:
In a 1981 poll, by contrast — soon after President Ronald Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers — 60 percent of those surveyed said unions had "too much influence." Of course, union membership has declined since then.

As the time for two-a-days and summer practice is quickly approaching for high school athletes across the country, a new film is out to raise awareness about the risks of undetected heart conditions.
Lubbock native Brad Leland, best known for his role as Buddy Garrity in "Friday Night Lights," is back in the sports world with "The Last Whistle" as a head coach who loses one of his players by Sudden Cardiac Arrest, leaving him and the team shaken. Growing up in Lubbock before moving to Plano and playing football there, Leland was familiar with the high school sports scene.
"I grew up playing sports and had great coaches, two of the coaches I had were tremendous and have stadiums in Plano named after them," said Leland. "My whole life, I grew up a big sports fan but didn't get to play after high school because I tore my knee up."
The injury made Leland realize he wanted to pursue his other passion - acting. Leland got his bachelors degree in acting and directing from Texas Tech and found success that led him to work with big industry names including Quentin Tarantino, who has a strict no-phones on set rule that Leland suggested for "The Last Whistle."
"It's a great excuse not to be attached to your phone," said Leland. "We were all talking to each other instead and we weren't distracted - it was a tremendous time."
"The Last Whistle" addresses a topic that Leland said is a big concern for anyone playing high school sports in the United States. Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition that can go undetected until the heart becomes too stressed.
"People don't realize that every week, a young person, boy or girl, dies in high school sports in the U.S.," Leland explained. "It's very common and it's not always a heart condition, but more often than not, it is. It's a matter of them not having a physical that's complete enough to tell them they shouldn't play because it's too hard on your heart."
The cast and crew of the film also collaborated with the American Heart Association in the making of the film to help raise awareness about the conditions and the need for parents to have their kids undergo physicals comprehensive enough to detect it. Leland said they are also hoping to get schools involved to help pay the costs of a good heart scan.
"It will help prevent a lot of deaths in sports," said Leland. "This is out there and maybe there's something we can do to help prevent it next time, but any time a kid who's just trying to play has that happen, it's a sad thing."
The film has so far received positive reviews and has won film festival awards for most inspirational film. Since it affects young kids who are playing sports, Leland said it will make it easier to talk about the heart of the matter.
"I'm sure a lot of parents and athletes will get those extra tests to make sure it's safe to play," said Leland. "Even though it's not based off one true story, it's a true story that happens all the time."
"The Last Whistle" will be out in select theaters and on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and Vudu June 28.

Conservative Media Calling for Speaker Paul Ryan to "Step Down"
Saturday, Fox Cable News' Jeanine Pirro slammed House Speaker Paul Ryan for the healthcare replacement failure and questioned his agenda on behalf of the elite Republican contingent left in Congress.
"Paul Ryan needs to step down as Speaker of the House," she said forthwith Saturdayt. "The reason? He failed to deliver the votes on his healthcare bill. The one he trumpeted to repeal and replace Obamacare."
Judge Pirro said, "I want to be clear, this is not on President Trump. No one expected a businessman to completely understand the nuances, the complicated ins and outs of Washington and its legislative process. How would he know which individuals upon which he would be able to rely?"
Judge Pirro later said she did not discuss the statement with President Trump or anyone from the White House and, she is "still furious with Paul Ryan."
There is a rumor that Judge Pirro has new revelations on President Trump's wiretapping claims, but she did not and rehashed the news from the week about committees looking into claims that President Trump's Administration had contact with Russia.
She declared, "The reason, Ryan, you and all of your Washington colleagues are held in such low self-esteem with the American people is because you forgot about us. … you asked the President to rely on you, he did join you, and he relied on you, you failed. The American people will not forget this and neither should our President."
It is time, Mr. Speaker to take a hike into the "Scrapbook"
Have a terrific weekend.

So you want to become a wedding officiant for your friend's wedding. Awesome! Having a friend as your wedding officiant can be a great option if you two have a friend who's extra special and who you want to share that moment with.
When Steven and I got married, we asked one of our friends to marry us — he introduced us over a decade ago, so we thought it was pretty fitting that he marry us.
So, whether you're asking a friend to be your wedding officiant or you're the friend yourself…here's how to officiate a friend's wedding if you're not a professional marriage celebrant!
How to become a wedding officiant for a friend's wedding:
In Washington DC, you're allowed to register for one day/one ceremony — so you can become a wedding officiant for a single day just to marry one couple! You don't have to get ordained by a religious organization or anything. You just have to fill out this "Temporary Officiant Application" with the DC Marriage Bureau, pay a $25 fee, and get the application notarized. When we did the officiant application for our friend, we went with him to the UPS store (many of them have notaries!) and it took about ten minutes. Then, we set off to the courthouse to file his application. Easy!
The Marriage Bureau site notes that your officiant does have to be 18, but other than that it seems like anyone could be your wedding officiant. So many choices!
And Pop! Weddings can totally have friend-officiants.
If you're planning a Pop! Wedding, we always welcome friends and family members as officiants. Steven is happy to take their application in to the courthouse when he gets your paperwork, however make sure you mail us the original copy with the notary seal on it (you'll have to get the notary seal while your officiant is present at the notary). If you want to have a friend as your wedding officiant, let us know and we'll help make the process painless :)
Now all you have to do is write an awesome wedding ceremony :) Good luck and have funnnn!

Anaklia Development Consortium's (ADC) CEO Levan Akhvlediani and USAID Zrda's Chief of Party, Brian King signed a Partnership Agreement within the Anaklia Community and Economic Development Program.
According to the agreement, ADC and USAID Zrda invest $2 million to promote the regional economic development of Anaklia/ Zugdidi and its surrounding areas. USAID Mission Director Peter Wiebler, ADC Founding Partner Mamuka Khazaradze, and other public and private sector representatives attended the signing ceremony.
The new project will focus on 3 major directions: Increasing the competitiveness and growth of MSMEs in the region; Building a workforce qualified to meet the market demand for both port operations and the wider economy in the region; Facilitating the development of community infrastructure necessary to meet Anaklia and the region's needs. USAID Zrda and Anaklia Development Consortium are investing $1 million each in the joint project.
According to USAID Mission Director Peter Wiebler, "This partnership symbolizes the U.S. government's commitment to building self-reliant communities across Georgia. It also represents our intent to engage with the private sector to achieve our shared goals. We are excited to work with Georgian and U.S. private partners as visionary and ambitious as the members of the Anaklia Development Consortium. While international donors and government help set the foundation for economic growth, the collaboration and commitment of private sector actors make such growth durable and sustainable."
According to ADC Founding Partner Mamuka Khazaradze, "Wellbeing and prosperity of the people of Anaklia and surrounding areas has been among our most important goals since the very beginning of the Anaklia Port project. We are happy that this purpose will now be realised with this new, very significant project that we commence in partnership with USAID Zrda. I want to express my gratitude towards USAID and the U.S. Government for being the part of this important initiative, and overall, for their expressed support in development of Anaklia and the Anaklia Deep Sea Port."
Anaklia Community and Economic Development Program will provide support to communities in West Georgia to maximize their ability to capitalize on the coming economic development opportunities presented by the $2.5 billion Anaklia Deep Sea Port mega project, which is a joint venture of a Georgian-U.S. consortium. The new deep-water port is envisioned to transform Georgia into a regional economic hub and a key link and transport corridor between Aisa and Europe. Construction of Georgia's first deep sea port started in December 2017, and the first phase of the project – construction of the primary container terminal – will be completed by the end of 2020, which also coincides with the timeline of the joint development program between USAID Zrda and ADC.

With the average price of a home in Vancouver coming in at an average of $1,400,000, it's hard for many individuals to even imagine qualifying for a mortgage on their own. That's why purchasers may ask family or friends for financial backup as a co-signer.
A co-signer is an additional borrower added to the mortgage application for the purpose of adding strength to the approval of the mortgage financing. An example of this is a parent co-signing for their child who is buying their first home. While the co-signer's name will go on the mortgage (the debt) as well as on the accompanying property land title (the asset), the co-signer doesn't typically live at the property. A co-signer must have a strong, steady income with minimal debt.Co-signers must be aware of their responsibility on the mortgage debt.
Although the primary borrower may enter the arrangement understanding that they're responsible for all of the payments from their own bank account, if they don't pay, then the co-signer is on the hook for not only the mortgage principle and interest payments, but also the property taxes and, if applicable, condo fees. The cosigner also needs to be aware that all of the costs associated with this new home would need to be disclosed on any future credit applications.
Please call for the latest market pricing, and for assistance with your – and your friends and family's – buying and selling plans.

Meeting of the Minds brings ACC students together for research, collaboration
CLEMSON — Six Clemson students traveled to Boston College April 6-8 to participate in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Meeting of the Minds. The conference is held annually every spring to celebrate undergraduate research and provides an opportunity for sharing of ideas and collaboration.
Clemson students who participated in the program and their research projects are:
- Connor Burke – Neurogenomic Expression of Two Synaptic Plasticity Genes and Their Relation to Mate Choice Behavior in Virgin P. latipinna Females
- Alethea Harrison – The Mount Carmel A.M.E Zion Campground (A Home Away From Home)
- Emily Huffer – Measuring the Impact of and Successfully Integrating Mobile Technology in Hospitals
- Buckley McCall and Reece Moore – The Effects of Astaxanthin on the Proliferation and Migration of Breast Cancer
- Emily Scircle – Daytime Sleepiness in College Students: Sleep Deprived or Sunlight Deprived?
- Agata Walkowiak – Effect of Fatty Acid Synthesis Inhibitor Cerulenin on Bloodstream Form T. brucei
"I am proud of our Clemson students not only for their intellectual contributions to their chosen fields, but also for the ways that they represented Clemson at Meeting of the Minds," said Bridget Trogden, associate dean for Undergraduate Studies. "Our students sought out opportunities to discuss and exchange ideas with the other meeting participants. They learned about research in disciplines other than their own and made excellent professional and personal contacts for their careers to come."
Each participating ACC institution sends six students to present either an oral or poster presentation. Research from every background is represented, including the sciences, arts and humanities.
"Before this conference, I had never been exposed to research from other departments such as anthropology, art or even scene design," said Walkowiak, a genetics and biochemistry major. "I also enjoyed seeing research that was interdisciplinary."
Clemson University hosted the inaugural Meeting of the Minds in 2006. Details about next year's event will be released later this year. For those interested in participating, contact Bridget Trogden (email@example.com).

The Scisco science dispatches for the first week in July 2018, including promising signs for a revolutionary new HIV vaccine and how 'ballooning' spiders use electromagnetic fields to 'fly' to new horizons.
Researchers cautiously pleased with results of HIV vaccine trial
Trials of a new HIV vaccine have led to cautious optimism amongst researchers after the results were published in The Lancet this week. The study followed the progress of 393 subjects selected from 12 HIV clinics across the world including East and South Africa, India and the US.
The test subjects, HIV negative and aged between 18 and 50, were divided into eight groups, the subjects in seven of these groups received the new vaccine whilst subjects in the eighth group received a placebo. All the subjects who received the vaccine began to show signs of an immune response to the virus.
It's currently estimated that 37 million people worldwide are living with HIV or AIDS, with two million of the affected being children. In addition to this, the United Nation's UNAIDS initiative estimates there are a further 1.8 million new cases each year.
Whilst HIV treatments are steadily improving and the life expectancy and life quality of sufferers have also improved over the past three decades, the virus has proved extremely difficult for scientists to deal with effectively. This is because HIV has a multitude of different strains and the virus itself mutates to avoid attack from the immune system. Treatments exist that can prevent the spread of HIV, but they must be taken every day, unlike a vaccine which can be taken just once.
Previous attempts at creating HIV vaccines have concentrated on one particular strain or another, all of which are found in different geographical locations. This new vaccine is different. It is what is known as a 'mosaic' vaccine as it is made up of different parts of different strains of the virus. Researchers hope that this approach could help protect against multiple strains across the World.
A companion study involving 72 rhesus monkeys was carried out in conjunction with the human trial. The aim of this side-study was to assess if the vaccine that showed the most promise in the human trials could increase resistance against the simian-human immunodeficiency virus, a disease similar to HIV that affects monkeys. The researchers found the mosaic vaccine to be effective in 67% of cases.
A second trial will now begin involving 2,600 women in sub-Saharan Africa.
Despite these positive results, the medical community and the researchers involved in both studies urge caution. As Dr Dan H Barouch, a principal investigator on the study and a professor at Harvard Medical School told CNN "I would say that we are pleased with these data so far, but we have to interpret the data cautiously," He continued "We have to acknowledge that developing an HIV vaccine is an unprecedented challenge, and we will not know for sure whether this vaccine will protect humans."
New research reveals how spiders 'fly'
Arachnophobes may want to grab an umbrella after reading the findings of Dr Erica Morley a biophysicist at Bristol Unversity, and her team. They investigated the phenomena of 'ballooning' used by species of spiders to travel great distances and found, in a remarkable turn, that the arachnids may be using the Earth's natural electric fields and nets of gossamer to reach great heights.
The phenomenon of 'ballooning' amongst spiders has been observed for some time, most famously by Charles Darwin during his voyage on the Beagle. Darwin was delighted when hundreds of tiny spiders descended on to the deck of the Beagle in 1832, speculating that these tiny creatures must have travelled distances of at least 60 miles to reach the ship.
In more recent times scientists have recorded spiders travelling distances of hundreds of miles and reaching altitudes of up to two miles.
Biologists have remained divided on just how spiders achieve such feats, some speculate that ballooning is achieved by the wind catching threads created at the abdomen of the spider. Others believe the mechanism behind the phenomenon is more complicated with spiders utilising these strands tendency to become electrostatically charged, thus allowing spiders to ride electromagnetic fields.
To test this latter hypothesis, Morley and her team introduced spiders captured in a local field to a polycarbonate box, which acted as a Faraday cage isolating them from external electric fields. This allowed Morley to control the atmosphere within the box recreating the kinds of electric fields in nature, but with the added advantage that she could end such fields quite abruptly.
Morley found that when the electric field has active, the spiders took flight from a small cardboard ramp created in the centre of their makeshift habitat. When the field was switched off, however, the spiders made very few attempts to become airborne.
Ingeniously, Morley found that the spiders' flight could be manipulated by altering the electric field, this included changing the altitude that they were able to reach. When they take off, you can switch off the electric field and watch them drop, then switch it on and see them rise again," she said.
What was also clear from the study, was wind is likely not a factor in Spiders' ballooning ability as there was simply not enough air flow with the habitat available for them to become aloft.
In research conducted alongside this study, Morley and Daniel Robert, a sensory biologist also based at the Unversity of Bristol, used laser light to observe how spiders may sense electromagnetic fields. They found that trichobothria, the tiny hairs on spiders' legs reacted to exposure to laser light, indicating that this may be how they detect the presence of electromagnetic fields.
Ballooning likely confers important evolutionary advantages to the spider. In addition to allowing them to escape predators or even seek out areas with more resources. The main advantage comes from the fact that spiders are cannibalistic and hatch in huge numbers. Obviously, it is then an evolutionary advantage for offspring to be spread as widely as possible reducing the chance of siblings devouring each other.

Ohio bill would add historic Wright Flyer to state's seal
It's not clear if the bill will fly
An Ohio lawmaker who has led the fight against Connecticut's claim that another aviator beat the Wright brothers as first in flight now wants the Wright Flyer emblazoned on Ohio's state seal.
It's not clear whether the bill state Rep. Rick Perales introduced last month will fly. The idea of adding the historic plane to the rustic scene pictured on The Great Seal of the State of Ohio has been floating around since 1998 without the votes to pass.
Perales, a Republican from a suburb of Dayton, Orville and Wilbur Wright's hometown, said the suggested change is "part of the larger picture" of promoting Ohio's ingenuity and aerospace industry. He chairs the Ohio Aerospace and Aviation Technology Committee that's working to develop a comprehensive strategic aerospace plan for the state.
"I believe that the foundation of that plan has to include showing the country and the world that Ohioans have the ingenuity and persistence to solve problems in a big way," he said. "The Wright brothers, with arguably the most significant technological contribution of the 20th Century, laid the groundwork for the entire aerospace and aviation industry - and recognition of the invention of flight will be an essential component of the full package for the state."
Perales also championed a still-pending resolution repudiating Connecticut's claim after that state passed a law suggesting another aviator beat the Wrights as first in flight by two years. It challenges that Gustave Whitehead "successfully flew a powered, heavier-than-air machine of his own design on August 14, 1901, or on any other date."
Connecticut passed a law in 2013 requiring the governor to proclaim a date for "Powered Flight Day" to honor Whitehead's 1901 flight as the first, pre-dating the Wright brothers' famous flight off Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in December 1903. The Connecticut lawmaker who fought for Whitehead's place in history, state Rep. Larry Miller, left the state law as part of his legacy when he died last year.
The Wrights' great-grand-niece has testified on behalf of the Ohio resolution, at least once toting a photograph of the Wright Flyer and pieces of wood from the aircraft that traveled with fellow Ohio native Neil Armstrong to the moon and back.

On his way home from a meeting of the North American werewolf council, Armand La Marche is stopped in his limousine by a boy who is hurt by an unknown assailant who murdered his friend. After decades of searching, Armand has found his mate. There is one problem, someone is trying to kill Sean.
Sean Quinn's friend Leroy was gutted trying to protect him. He runs for help and stops the first car he sees.
Armand LaMarche is head Alpha of the North American werewolf council and was in his limousine on his way home to his Manhattan brownstone. When the wounded boy stops his car, Armand recognizes two things:the boy is part wolf, an Omega with a great gift, and he's Armand's mate. Now all Armand has to do is claim his mate and keep him safe from the murderer.
(Book originally reviewed here: http://kimichanexperience.com/omega-ac-katt/)
Sean is an art student who comes out to his dad and is thrown out into the streets. He has no money, no job and is about to become a rent boy when he is attacked. His would-be friend/pimp gets killed trying to protect him and Sean gets injured, but is rescued by Armand.
Both the attacker and Armand are werewolves. It turns out Sean is a werewolf too, only he doesn't know it. Sean is no ordinary werewolf, he has special powers. Armand wants Sean because he is his mate. The attacker wants his powers.
Armand nurses Sean back to health, tells him about the supernatural and they fall in love.
The rest of the story is preparing Sean to be a special Omega wolf and to try to capture the attacker before he gets Sean. The clock is ticking because Sean won't get his power til he's twenty-five but if he's mated before he's taken, the powers will be safe.
Overall, this was an okay shifter story. Insta-love. Medium-hot sex. Semi-believable conflict. Lots of loves, "babys" and honeys. (There are some pretty significant plot holes – like why Sean told his dad anything, why his dad didn't spend all his money before this, why Sean believes Armand for one second and isn't creeped out…and more… but – if you suspend your disbelief…)
If you're a sucker for a sentimental, traditional "mates" type shifter story (like me) this is for you! There is next to nothing about being a wolf in this story other than as a plot device to explain the insta-love. Which is disappointing. He shifts one time and bites Sean – but that's about it for being a wolf 🙁
If you want a story with a more meaty storyline, more "shifting", more plot, fewer holes…you might want to skip this. But if you like "drama" and insta-love this is totally for you!
I enjoyed it for it's entertainment value and give it 3 of 5 stars.
I LOVED Joel's narration! I admit that I am a sucker for accents and Joel has given us – I don't know – like at least 5 or 6 in this story alone! We get Armand's cosmopolitan French accent, a British accent – cockney?- for the cook, a Russian accent, a New York cop, the driver/butler, and of course Sean's "accent". And there's more! This is the beginning of a series that Joel gets to narrate – YAY! – so he's preparing us with all the host of characters – what a mouth-full that must be! What I think is amazing: Joel's ability to switch from one voice to another – no matter how many characters are involved – and keep it accurate. Awesome!
In any case – this was just plain FUN! It reminded me of a "telenovella" – high drama- all the time. Joel is really good at the emotion and timing – showing us how much Armand cares for Sean – how confused Sean is by Armand's feelings – and the growly moments when Armand must defend Sean. There's never a dull moment with these guys – every meal is exciting!
If you're a fan of the author and the series – this is a must! If you haven't read this, but you love a good "dramatic" romance (with – let's face it – some OTT moments) of the Cinderella type trope, if you love accents as much as me!, or if you're just in the mood for a somewhat predictable but still entertaining shifter romance – this is for you!
5 of 5 stars for the narration
Overall 4 of 5 stars

Being who we are really meant to be can be daunting. Even to figure out who we are meant to be can be a challenge. I want to share with you a poem that was read at a workshop I attended recently (thank you, Lynn Schuster, Animal Spirit Talker, for sharing!) The poem is by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, a Native American Elder, and demonstrates what I mean by "being the real you":
The Invitation
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring with your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with the pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another by being true to yourself, if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty everyday, and if you can source your life from the eternal Spirit's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the sliver of the moon, "YES!"
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Substitute Dele Alli managed to secure a late penalty for Spurs as they visited Spotland Stadium for an FA Cup fifth round clash with League One Rochdale on Sunday.
As the game dragged on with the scores level at 1-1, something like this was anticipated:
Spurs might have to bring Kane, Alli or Lamela on to dive for a penalty at this rate.
— Tim Bolton * (@timbolton1) February 18, 2018
Dele Alli dives and wins a penalty. Imagine my shock.
— Stray Offside (@StrayOffside_) February 18, 2018
It did look very much like the under-fire midfielder began to go down before any contact was made.
Harry Kane scored the resulting penalty and Tottenham celebrated what looked to be the winner before the home side snagged an added-time equaliser.
These are the best of the latest Dele Alli diving jokes after another one, this time during a 2-2 draw with lower-league Rochdale in the cup:
Dele Alli should take up diving as a profession.

By Sister Janis Yaekel, ASC
I am Sister Janis Yaekel, ASC and I have pancreatic cancer. In fact, I have lived with cancer since 2012. I hope to share in my blog my journey and my reflections on the presence of God in my life. It is my hope that those who read my entries will find strength for their own journeys.
Our family recently said good-bye to my great nephew, Jason, who died unexpectedly at age 32.
What a loss for all of us, especially for Katie and baby Jase, and Julie and Charlie, his parents.
Sometimes we get so focused on our own problems that we lose sight of the world around us. Then a tragedy such as this occurs and our perspective changes.
We realize that people are dealing with situations that are more significant than ours.
My heart goes out to all those who have lost a young person, or experienced a loved one's sudden death. They have no time to say "Good-bye" or "I love you" one more time, and no time to prepare for the letting go.
Darkness wraps around them as surely as night cloaks the day. And this darkness will stay for a long while. Those left behind will breathe it, eat it and sleep with it. There is no getting around it, but there will appear at some point a way through it.
That is my prayer for Jason's family, that they may hold on to each other in the darkness ahead and look for the light that will begin to appear.
Today as I look at my own disease, I realize that in many ways I have been blessed. I have had time to adjust to the fact that I have cancer, to reflect upon it and see the movement of God in the events of my life.
At some point, I know my condition will probably decline and I will again have to deal with fear and sorrow because at that point I will again be letting go.
But for this day, I know that I am lucky to be able to have time for more living.

News from Comdex Fall 2002
As expected, Dell and Hewlett-Packard launched new Pocket PC models today at the Comdex Fall 2002 trade show in Las Vegas, while PalmSource announced that Fossil would join the ranks of Palm OS licensees, with the world's first Palm Powered watch.
Dell's new Axim models are the personal computer giant's first foray into the PDA space, while H-P's iPAQ h1910 and h5450 are the first models from the Compaq line since it was absorbed into Hewlett-Packard. But one of the big questions is whether Comdex, operated by Key3Media, which hinted at bankruptcy last week, will soon become a tech industry memory.
The Dell AXIM X5 Advanced and X5 Entry are virtually identical models, except that the X5 Advanced has a more powerful processor, double the memory, and includes a synchronization cradle and, of course, a slightly bigger price tag.
The X5 Entry, which retails for $249, is powered by a 300 MHz XScale processor and comes with 32MB of RAM and a synchronization cable rather than a cradle. Meanwhile, the Axim X5 Advanced, which retails for $349, is powered by a 400 MHz XScale processor and comes with 64MB of RAM.
Both models measure 5.0″ tall, 3.2″ wide and 0.7″ thick, weigh 6.9 ounces, and come with a directional pad on the front and jog wheel on the side. The screens on both Axim X5 models are 3.5″ transflective color screens capable of displaying 65,000 colors at 320 pixels by 240 pixels. Both models have two expansion slots: a CompactFlash Type II slot and a Secure Digital card slot. In addition, they will use 1440 mAh Lithium ion removable batteries, and a 3400 mAh battery will be sold separately.
Both Axim X5 models are available on Dell's website, which offers a $50 mail-in rebate, or can be ordered through Dell kiosks located in certain retail locations.
Meanwhile, Hewlett-Packard launched two new models: the iPAQ h1910, an ultra-thin handheld that retails for $299, and the iPAQ h5450, a full-featured model that retails for $699.
At only 1/2″ thick and 4.2 ounces, the h1910 is slimmer and lighter than previous iPAQ models. It has a 200MHz Intel XScale processor and 64MB of RAM, of which 48 MB is accessible by the user, and 16MB of ROM. It has an SD/MMC slot for external memory but continues the iPAQ heritage of forgoing a CompactFlash slot.
The iPAQ h1910 is also the first iPAQ that comes with a removable Lithium-ion battery and the first that does not support the standard iPAQ Expansion Packs, commonly referred to as sleeves. Also, the h1910 ships with a synchronization cable instead of a cradle.
The iPAQ h5450 is powered by a 400MHz Intel XScale processor and backed by 64MB of memory. It also includes built-in 802.11 and Bluetooth wireless networking, and an integrated fingerprint scanner as a security measure, important to businesses worried about company secrets being stored on easily stolen handhelds.
The 7.26 ounce h5450 uses the standard iPAQ form-factor so already available add-on Expansion Packs, or sleeves, can be used. It also includes a more powerful infrared port and software to allow it to be used as a universal remote.
Meanwhile, Fossil is giving the "watch that's also a PDA" thing another whirl. Earlier this year it released its WRIST PDA for both Palm OS and Pocket PC to less than critical acclaim, mainly because they did not actually run either operating system and could only be used in conjunction with a PDA, not as a full-fledged standalone PDA. However, this time Fossil is going for the whole enchilada. The new WRIST PDA for Palm OS, which Fossil is showing off a prototype of at COMDEX this week, actually runs the Palm OS…and it's a whole lot thinner than its bulky predecessor.
Fossil says the WRIST PDA, the world's first Palm Powered watch, will cater to people who want to carry around one device rather than two. Fully compatible with the Palm OS platform, the WRIST PDA will run all Palm OS applications.
"We believe consumers want the functionality of a handheld with the style and portability of a wrist watch," said Donald R. Brewer, vice president of technology for Fossil. "The Palm OS enables Fossil to provide customers with a fashionable wrist-worn device that is incredibly useful, yet lightweight, small, and powerful."
According to Fossil, this device will run Palm OS 4.1 on a 33MHz Motorola Dragonball VZ processor. It has 2 MB of RAM and 2 MB of ROM. Pre-loaded applications including: Address Book, Date Book, Memo Pad, Calculator and To Do List.
The size of the screen is unclear at this point. Fossil says it will be 160 by 160 pixels but images of the prototype don't seem to show a screen that large. The device might support a virtual 160 by 160 screen. The touch screen is backlit and can display 16 shades of gray. It includes a stylus integrated into the band for Graffiti input and a rocker switch.
It has an infrared port to support beaming between all Palm Powered devices. It can run for 4 days between recharges and comes with a charging cable.
Fossil will launch the WRIST PDA with Palm OS under two brands, FOSSIL and ABACUS, a new tech brand that targets the electronics distribution. Both versions of the new WRIST PDA are scheduled to be available in stores in the United States and internationally by mid-2003.

Amelia B Edwards was a leading Egyptologist, travel writer and journalist as well as a successful popular novelist and short story writer. She was a friend and literary associate of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. The Phantom Coach (1864) with its atmospheric plot of a young traveller lost at night on the snow bound Pennine moors, it has the all essential ingredients of a rattling good yarn in the great Victorian tradition.
Christine Poulson
Christine Poulson was born and brought up in North Yorkshire, going on to enjoy a successful career as an art historian and academic before turning to crime writing. She worked as a curator of ceramics at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and curator for the William Morris Society at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith; taught for the Open University and was a lecturer in Art History at a Cambridge college. That city and the surrounding Fens feature in the first of her Cassandra James series of crime novels. Safe as Houses was included in Phobic, an anthology of contemporary horror stories published by Comma Press in 2007.
Elizabeth Jane Howard (1923 – 2014)
Elizabeth Jane Howard wrote 14 best-selling novels, many television plays, as well as books on food and gardening. Howard was married three times, most notably to the naturalist Peter Scott and fellow writer Kingsley Amis. A co-founder of the Cheltenham Literature Festival she also served on literary prize committees including the Whitbread and Booker and was awarded a CBE in the 2000. Her autobiography, Slipstream, was recently read on Radio 4. Less well known are the distinctive and original ghost stories written in conjunction with Robert Aickman in the late 1940's. The couple helped found and run the Inland Waterways Association. Three Miles Up is one of six stories from that collaboration, published in 1951.
