It's no secret that many at Colby do not love the Central Maine region or at least show little interest in exploring it. People talk about the "Colby bubble" all the time. However, Colby is very close to a region that has long been a popular tourist destination in New England: the Belgrade Lakes.
The Belgrade Lakes region includes seven major bodies of water: Great Pond, North Pond, East Pond, Long Pond, McGrath Pond, Salmon Lake, and Messalonskee Lake. The region is home to the small towns of Rome, Belgrade, and Oakland. In fact, Oakland is less than ten minutes away from Colby and is perhaps best known on campus for being home to Early Bird Restaurant, a popular breakfast destination for Colby students.
According to the town of Belgrade's website, the first settler built a hunting lodge in the region in 1774. After several others settled there in the following two decades, the town was incorporated in 1796. Like many other towns in Maine, it was home to several grist mills and lumber mills starting in the early 1800s, though only two small lumber mills remain today. Since then, the Belgrade Lakes region has grown to be a popular place for fishing, ice fishing in the winter, hiking, swimming, golfing, and simply as a summer respite for vacationers.
Today, the region includes many vacation cabins, some of which are only used during the summer months, drawing people looking for outdoor recreation combined with a quiet lifestyle. The lakes are also home to several summer camps, such as the New England Golf and Tennis Camp, New England Music Camp, the Pine Island Camp for Boys, and Camp Modin, the oldest Jewish summer camp here in New England.
The Belgrade Lakes offer a variety of recreational activities for the public. The Belgrade Lakes Golf Club is a public course in the region between Great Pond and Long Pond. The course was built by Harold Alfond, who wanted everyone to have the chance to experience the region's beauty and learn golf without having to pay to be part of a club. The course was listed by Golf Digest on their Top 100 Greatest Public Courses, and was the top public course in Maine on that list. The area also offers several public hiking trails, including French Mountain and Mount Phillip, both of which offer panoramic views.
The public also has access to lakes and beaches in the towns of Belgrade, Rome, and Oakland, which are popular for swimming in the summer. Fishing is also popular on the lakes, both in the summer and the winter. The most popular fish to catch include brook trout, largemouth bass, and landlocked salmon.
Beyond all the recreational activities, the lakes are known simply for their beautiful scenery, especially in the fall when they offer great views of New England's fall foliage.
Although the region is sometimes forgotten by the Colby community, the campus is involved in the region in several ways. The Colby Hume Center is located on Messalonskee Lake, the closest of the Belgrade Lakes to Colby seven miles from campus. The center includes a boathouse and training center used by the men's and women's crew teams, who base there and often practice rowing on the lake during the milder months of the school year. The Hume Center is also used as a woodshop for classes during Jan Plan, as well as early in the fall and late in the spring by Colby students looking to swim in the lake.
The Belgrade Lakes are also known around the Colby Biology and Chemistry departments due to their ongoing efforts to monitor the water quality, and work to keep the region's watershed sustainable. Colby has worked closely with the Maine Lakes Resource Center, a community organization dedicated to researching and educating people on the quality of the lakes. A Colby task force, including nine professors from the Biology, Geology, Environmental Studies, and Economics departments, as well as several students, and conservation partners, have worked hard to evaluate the health of the lakes in recent years, and come up with a plan to ensure their sustainability.
The Belgrade Lakes region is a beautiful area offering many interesting recreational activities. Despite efforts by the Colby community, however, the Belgrade Lakes often still remain ignored by the students on campus.

Example essay, term papers – buy custom writing service
Example essays, term, research or thesis papers enable you, the student, to see how your work should be presented by showing you what a paper that has achieved a good grade looks like.
A custom writing service will offer papers as examples only, they must not be submitted as another person's work.
So, how is it useful to see example papers?
Firstly, by seeing a paper that has or would achieve a good grade, you can follow the same sort of pattern for your own paper.
You would take note of how the paper is set out, what points it makes and what sources have been quoted.
While you read, take a critical point of view and ask yourself what you would change about the paper.
Many papers put forward some new thoughts on many subjects, often challenging what has long been accepted in academic circles, and this always gives any paper the edge when it comes to grading.
The paper should also fire your enthusiasm for the subject or answer questions for the reader.
Maybe it can even put forward such a convincing argument that the reader changes his/her own opinion on a given topic.
A sample paper should also demonstrate that if a question is raised in the text, it's also answered by the end of the piece.
It should further show the reader how to put points across coherently and in a focused manner.
One of the main features should be the use of evidence and sources used to support your argument in any subject.
They should be convincing and up-to date and the best sources to put your point across.
You can learn more about term papers and thesis, thesis format and thesis sentence at our custom writing service – BestWritingService.
com Also you can buy essays or other papers here.
Similarly, example thesis must also convey a suitably academic tone.
Use good grammar and English and avoid any form of 'slang'.
You must use unbiased language and not be aggressive in putting a point across.
A good example paper will be one that has all these elements combined, and that is how you should endeavor to write your own paper.

• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Advanced Techniques to Eliminate Underlying Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Fear of Teenagers
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. Consciously, you know your fear of teenagers doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. But it affects you because your unconscious mind has associated teenagers with fear and perhaps a bunch of other negative emotions and they get triggered automatically – like clockwork – every time.
You have not been able to prevent your feelings of fear because you have not been given the methodology to change your feelings and associations. We're here to give you give you what you need to take back control. Isn't it time you took control?
When You're Searching for Treatments and Cures to Vanquish Your Fear of Teenagers
We don't, in point of fact, 'treat', nor do we 'cure'. Modifying your awareness is a technique you have to learn to master for yourself. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. You have dealt with these emotions haunting you long enough. You can decide that it's time for the negative feelings to change.
Vanquish Fear of Teenagers Today.
Where Your Fear of Teenagers Comes From
In most cases, Fear Of Teenagers (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. The mind will, in some situations, generate the fear without an apparent cause. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Those with a tendency to feel anxious and panicky
• If you are jittery, edgy, sensitive, nervous
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency

Tests, Symptoms & Diagnosis
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Fear of Teenagers Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: It is time to do something about the fear, if it is having a significantly negative effect on your life.
- Does the thought of Teenagers make you nauseous?
- Does it automatically initiate sticky hands and a mouth that is made of cotton?
- Does your heart begin to pound?
- Do your legs go weak?
These are just a few of the most common things people experience. If you want to understand more about the symptoms of Fear Of Teenagers, click here.
We can help you get rid of not just the symptoms, but the cause. This is what we do
Drugs & Medication
We strongly believe that drugs are not a good solution for any Ephebiphobe, but you should always follow your physician's advice with regard to drugs/meds and Fear of Teenagers. A pill can sometimes act as a quick fix and may seem to help briefly but will not allow you to be free of the fear.
No drug has ever been developed specifically for Fear Of Teenagers, by the way – and with all the undetermined possible side effects, it is difficult to rationalize taking a prescription as the answer.
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Fear Of Teenagers, without the use of any meds..

On February 1, 2018, USCIS announced that "in an attempt to stem the growth of the agency's asylum backlog," it will schedule asylum interviews for recent applications ahead of older filings and has discontinued the Affirmative Asylum Bulletin. The new priorities for affirmative asylum interview scheduling became effective January 29, 2018.
Per USCIS announcement, this priority approach, first established by the asylum reforms of 1995 and used for 20 years until 2014, seeks to deter those who might try to use the existing backlog as a means to obtain employment authorization. Returning to a "last in, first out" interview schedule will allow USCIS to identify frivolous, fraudulent or otherwise non-meritorious asylum claims earlier and place those individuals into removal proceedings.

The fight for America comes to an end. Chandler faces a challenge that could change his life for ever.
Tom Chandler retires from the U.S. Navy at the end of this episode, and kills Allison Shaw at the end of her tyrannical reign. Shaw, however, taunts him that he unleashed the worst in humanity rather than saving the world. He is left horrified by this act as he didn't have to it but admits that she's right in that America has lost its moral values.

Free Verse No Rules Allowed
History Free Verse appeared in 1915 Walt Witman and Emily Dickenson are well known for being early writers of free verse poetry.
History continued In the 20s and 30s the writers of the Harlem Renaissance were well known for the use of free verse in poetry Beatniks of the 50s and 60s helped to popularize free verse Some important writers from these two groups are: Allen Ginsbourg, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, E.E. Cummings, and Langston Hughes
A Quote! Richard Aldington said: We do not insist upon 'free-verse' as the only method of writing poetry. We fight for it as for a principle of liberty. What is the significance of this quote?
Your Turn! At your table, come up with your own definition of free verse Be sure to include its purpose (what this form is used for) You have four minutes
Langston Hughes An important writer during the Harlem Renaissance His work spoke to the feelings of people in Harlem community, as well as African Americans all over the country. Wrote six childrens books Published over 30 books of poetry, fiction, and non fiction Has written 13 major plays
Juke Box Love Song I could take the Harlem night and wrap around you, Take the neon lights and make a crown, Take the Lenox Avenue busses, Taxis, subways, And for your love song tone their rumble down. Take Harlem's heartbeat, Make a drumbeat, Put it on a record, let it whirl, And while we listen to it play, Dance with you till day-- Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl.
Allen Ginsburg A well known writer of the Beat Generation Like many authors of this time period, he was known as a political activist Wrote over 20 books of poetry
Fourth Floor, Dawn, Up All Night Writing Letters Pigeons shake their wings on the copper church roof out my window across the street, a bird perched on the cross surveys the city's blue-grey clouds. Larry Rivers ll come at 10 AM and take my picture. I'm taking your picture, pigeons. I'm writing you down, Dawn. I'm immortalizing your exhaust, Avenue A bus. O Thought! Now you'll have to think the same thing forever!
You be the Author! Write a free verse poem – It must be at least two quatrains long – You will have the rest of the class to finish your work

SA lifesavers do battle in German Cup
- Updated: November 17, 2013
Our top lifesavers head for Europe on Sunday to do battle in the 22.German Cup in Wardorf, Germany, writes Mark Etheridge.
The bulk of the team are made up of the squad that represented Team South Africa at the World Games in Cali, Colombia in July/August this year.
That team brought back an individual bronze medal from Armand Marais and also a bronze in the team event.
The European event is the third highest ranked event for lifesavers specialising in the stillwater leg of lifesaving competitions.
The pinnacle of international lifesaving competitions for in the stillwater discipline are made up of the World Games, Rescue Series, German Cup, Commonwealth Games.
Our lifesavers have a good history at the German Cup, and have recorded second and third places previously although twice missing the all important first spot for international teams.
Other countries in action will be Italy, Germany, France, The Netherlands, China, Belgium, Spain, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
Said Manager Meyer: "We certainly have medal hopes in the person of Armand Marais in the 50m Manikin Rescue and 100m Dummy with Fins. Armand is the current World bronze medal holder in the 50m Manikin Rescue and also has medal potential in the 100m Manikin Rescue with Fins.
"Newcomers', Janke Grobbelaar and Francois Rossouw will certainly raise the stakes in the Obstacles as I believe they will progress to A Finals with certain medal potential. Carmel Billson needs to be watched in the 50m Manikin as she is upset material for A Finals in that specific event.
"Stalwart Guinivere Rogers has much to prove after World Games 2013 in Columbia and is A Final potential within the 100m Manikin with Fins.
"It is expected that we will reach A Finals in all relays more specifically the 4x50m Obstacle, 4 x25m Manikin Relay and 4x50m Medley Relay's for men, which could proof upset material for countries such as Italy, Germany and Australia."
Meyer also credited the World Games for boosting the confidence and experience levels of the younger members of the team. "Rudolf Visser, Christiaan Malan and Carmel benefited tremendously from the World Games 2013 in Columbia. We should not forget that Australia and Nieu Zeeland did not participate at the World Games, which will raise the bar for individual performances for SA to finish within the top five. We ended sixth at the World Games, narrowly missing the fifth spot.
"The babies in the team are Rudolf, Christiaan and Janke Grobbelaar and they receive their Protea colours for the first time together with coach Martina van den Bout. 'Veteran' World Games and Commonwealth member, Jayne Broderick, also for the first time receives her long awaited Protea Colours. It's sad to say that we will also say goodbye to her together with Robin Saggers (World Games in 2009), after more than 15 years in the game respectively.
"But Armand, Christiaan, Rudolf and Francois  should be the core for any Stillwater Men touring team for SA in the next four years till the World Games 2017.
"What is very important for me as manager is to see my team collecting as many points as possible to better our international ranking within the lifesaving fraternity."

A tool for gathering feedback that every small and medium-sized business needs! Relying on honesty and creative ideas to bringing your project to the next level.
Most people tend to be nice and want to be liked by others which in some cases could not be very helpful. If we want to improve our projects we have to require more critical opinions and even to ask people to be brutally honest. That is the only way to look more objective on whatever we are doing, to leverage our creative thinking and build awesome products – usable and functional for its audience.
In that matter, it is essential to understand what usability means and how to apply the core principles of user experience. That is the major reason why Themoove was created.
What is usability ?
Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.
Usability is defined by 5 quality components:
- Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?
- Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?
- Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?
- Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?
- Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?
There are many other important quality attributes. A key one is utility, which refers to the design's functionality: Does it do what users need?
Usability and utility are equally important and together determine whether something is useful: It matters little that something is easy if it's not what you want. It's also no good if the system can hypothetically do what you want, but you can't make it happen because the user interface is too difficult. To study a design's utility, you can use the same user research methods that improve usability.
- Definition of Utility = whether it provides the features you need.
- Definition of Usability = how easy & pleasant these features are to use.
- Definition of Useful = usability + utility.

What is the problem with most websites?
Every user has different current experience (what users already know) – usually, users are completely unaware the design is helping them to complete their goals on a website. The user is being trained, but in a way that seems natural.
Most websites today have a lot of usability problems that rise questions like:
- Do the users know what to do in the UI?
- Can the users do what they want to do?
- Do they feel they have achieved something when action is completed?
On the internet, the competition is always ONE CLICK away, so if you frustrate the users, they will simply leave your website and go somewhere else. (Except if they don't have another choice, which is very rare these days)
How Themooove helps to solve this problem?
The project will help any team to understand what users think about their project (e.g. website), how do they behave while browsing a website, how do they interact with a website, what do they like and what do not, and where they struggle.
What to expect when you create an account:
-You can test how usable and functional is a website.
-You can give your feedback, ideas, solutions or to open issues to every website on the web.
-You can solve a problem that a website has and help them to improve their website.
It is all about the EXPERIENCE that people have on the web and their feedback is critically important! While observing all solutions, ideas and advice given by users, you will be able to improve your project and serve the best version of it. We believe it is extremely important to do updates very often if we want to grow as human nature and follow all trends on the web that are moving forward so quickly.

SwiftKey, the popular mobile keyboard app that was acquired by Microsoft earlier this year, has given its flagship app a major overhaul this week with a completely new predictive typing engine that promises increased accuracy.
The London-based company gave its first public demonstration of the technology last year through a new standalone app called the SwiftKey Neural Alpha app, which was effectively an experimental version of its main app powered by a different language engine. It made sense for the company to do it this way, as it was still fine-tuning the underlying technology, but now it's ready for prime time within the main consumer SwiftKey app.
Founded in 2008, SwiftKey built a big following on Android as an alternative to the stock keyboard app on phones and tablets, though it later launched for iOS after Apple opened up to third-party keyboards. To speed up typing, SwiftKey learns your writing style over time and predicts the next word before you've started typing — this is partly based on historical patterns, but it also scans texts from other sources to "learn" popular sequences in which words are often placed. But things are about to get a whole lot better.
SwiftKey and the machines
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) represent part of the broader field of machine learning and artificial intelligence (A.I.) and are based on the structure and workings of the human brain. Compared to the existing n-gram model, which leans toward computational linguistics and probability, ANNs should be better at predicting and correcting language by considering the context of what someone is trying to say.
Previously, SwiftKey would suggest the next word in a sentence based on the order of words it has seen in the past — and it was pretty good at guessing what you're trying to say. But there were restrictions, because it didn't look at the actual meaning of the words — if it hadn't seen words used before in a particular sequence, its predictions would be limited. Neural networks, on the other hand, usher a more human element into the mix by digging deeper into what you're trying to communicate.
"It [the neural network] gives the ability for SwiftKey to predict and suggest words in a way that's more meaningful and more like how language is actually used by people," said SwiftKey chief marketing officer Joe Braidwood in an interview with VentureBeat last year.
An example that SwiftKey itself uses to illustrate the difference is this: If SwiftKey has previously seen the phrase "Let's meet at the airport," when a user begins typing a similar sentence in the future, it's now able to understand that "hotel" or "office" are appropriate alternatives, because they're all places that people do indeed meet at.
Neural networks have become something of a buzz phrase in recent times, with tech companies increasingly turning their attention to artificial intelligence to improve their products. For example, Shutterstock developed its own convolutional neural network for a new reverse image search feature, while Facebook, too, is using neural networks to understand the content of images.
Interestingly, SwiftKey claims that its latest update represents the first time that neural networks have been deployed locally on a smartphone, rather than relying on a connection to the cloud. It's also worth noting here that the feature is limited to U.S. and U.K. English for now, though the company does say that more languages are coming. The update is only available on Android for now.

It's the target behind the target behind the target: qualification for the playoffs, qualification for the Final Four, winning the trophy. All the teams can see the targets, but not all of them can reach them. Four teams have already hit two out of three and they press on for the third and last one. The horizon was always far from clear, but they had the right kind of help at the right time, and they hit the bull's eye.
Eurohoops presents the four players – one from each team – that saw in the playoffs what others, mainly their opponents, couldn't.
Real Madrid | Forward | May 23, 1989 | Sweden
For the last four seasons, Jeffery Taylor has been an integral part of Real Madrid's core and he has never disappointed. He didn't disappoint now, either, when he was assigned one of the toughest missions in his career in the EuroLeague: to stop Nick Calathes. As if it wasn't enough that he completed the mission successfully, he contributed on offense, too, scoring in double digits all three playoff games. In the sweep against Panathinaikos OPAP Athens, he more than doubled his averages in almost every statistical category compared with the regular season and he also had the fourth-best PIR on the team. The Final Four in Vitoria will be the third in a row for him, as he will seek a back-to-back title with the Whites.

It's for sure lip balm weather right now, and this @BenefitCanada lip balm is one of my favourite balms with a tint. I use the Benebalm on my lips – the red colour isn't too much and looks pretty. Lollibalm is my second favourite but I do find the mauve to wash my lips out a bit.
Very emollient and with just a hint of tint, Benefit's new Tinted Lip Balms come in colours coordinating with their tints. There's Benebalm, Posiebalm, ChaChabalm, and Lollibalm. All the colours are sheer enough to work with your own natural lip colour and you can layer a lip stain underneath if you want more pigment.
The formula includes Mango Butter and Sodium Hyaluronate. The Sodium Hyaluronate can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, which makes it great for dehyrated lips. The Mango Butter seals it in and prevents lips from becoming more dry.
Pick these up online for $24. Also available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Imposing structures slated for unstable slope alarm neighbors
The existing houses on Lemon Hill will be dwarfed by the proposed project. This view, with story pole boundaries filled in, is of the cul de sac that stops where the hillside begins.
By Tina Richards
A proposed six-unit luxury estate development on a hillside in North Tustin, featuring two stories of living space, subterranean nine-car garages, and rooftop entertainment decks, has been approved by the county planning department, and is awaiting a grading permit to begin moving dirt.
What makes this project different from most others is that at least two of the proposed multi-story units will be built on a slope that failed when another developer began grading it in 1991. The hillside above Lemon Hill, below St. Thomas Drive and adjacent to Orange Knoll has been considered unstable since at least 1978. An optimistic developer planned to stabilize the slope with caissons and installed more than a dozen near the hilltop. It rained. The mostly-clay soil tumbled down around the caissons, leaving them standing tall above the slide area. The slide threatened four homes at its base, and nearly undermined a swimming pool, which had to be quickly shored up by county engineers.
"That slide was actually the second one," says Don Rosholm, who has lived on Orange Knoll since 1973. "The second builder put up the caissons because the hillside had come down before. Both developers went bankrupt." An OC Register article reported that the slide occurred on the fourth development attempt.
Slip sliding away
Now, Newport Coast Management, a Palm Springs developer, wants to try again. The company, incorporated as Lemon Hill Luxury Estates, LLC, claims that advanced technology will enable it to stabilize the hillside and build multi-story homes with subterranean garages and upper level swimming pools. It is proposing an elaborate system of underground horizontal and vertical support beams and a retaining wall.
The North Tustin Advisory Committee (NTAC) reviewed the developer's project application in November and recommended the county reject it. The committee voted unanimously to deny the project because it was given no plans or data, the applicant did not seem to "have a handle on soil conditions," had done minimal community outreach, county-provided grading materials were "illegible" and NTAC's purview was being "limited by unusable materials."
NTAC member Mike Fioravanti noted that "people on Orange Knoll had half their homes buried during the original work" in 1991. He was disturbed that Project Manager Frank Eder didn't know where Orange Knoll is.
NTAC, however, is advisory only, and county planners do not have to follow its recommendations. Because the project falls within existing zoning designations (small estate), it received planning department approval with little public notice. Homeowners within 300 feet of the property were notified of the NTAC meeting, but few understood the scope of the development. There is no information about it on the county website; there will be no public hearings at the county planning commission or the board of supervisors meetings.
Shock and awe
The project is now waiting for a grading permit from the county building department. Before the permit is issued, county engineers must assess the project's stabilization scheme. While the department's initial assessment is it "meets standards," it has asked for an outside third party review, which is pending.
Meanwhile, homeowners surrounding the property have been scrambling to find out what's going on, and what they're finding is alarming. The advertised two-story single-family residences are actually four stories of unforgiving rectangular construction.
"I just found out about this," says Lemon Hill resident Sid Mughrabi. "The house is going to be so tall we won't see the sun. We won't get any light."
The developer installed "story poles" that indicate the height and width of two of the proposed structures. They loom over the backyards of neighbors on every side. "They're hanging over everybody," says Ellen Smiley of St. Thomas. "I can see it from every room in my house. Whoever lives there will be able to see me in every room, too."
"It's an invasion of privacy," says Jacques Doumani, who lives on Lemon Leaf. "The developer told me they were going to be two-story, single-family homes. He lied to me."
Is anyone home?
County planners say that the residences fall within the zoning's 35-ft. height limit and "are compatible with the neighborhood."
Residents beg to differ. With subterranean garages, two levels of living space and a "party patio" on top, neighbors count four stories. And they don't believe the "single family" designation. "Who needs a nine-car garage?" Roxanne Doumani asks. "Who sends their children out to play on a top story patio? This is a party house, not a single-family residence."
The Foothill Communities Association, which just found out about it, agrees that the project is not compatible with the neighborhood. Because there were no public hearings on the project and no information presented ahead of time, residents were unable to comment on the project before it was approved.
If the grading permit is granted, they have little recourse, other than a lawsuit. And that in itself is dicey. "It's not good," says Smiley, "but it's apparently legal."
And the slope is still unstable, Don Rosholm reasserts. "Nothing's been built there for a reason. The soil is crumbly, it drifts down like powder. We've had to replace block walls because they crack. Another neighbor had to re-do his swimming pool because it was getting cracks in it."
"I've talked to a real estate appraiser," Smiley says. "If these monstrosities go in, our property values are expected to drop by $75,000 to $150,000."

Our UAE Businessman Hussain al Nowais
When you will look for the richest business tycoons from all over the world then you will simply find many of them are from the United Arab Emirates.
To note, seven businessmen born and raised from UAE hold the record being the richest billionaires in the whole world that are running huge businesses in hospitals, high rise buildings, banks and mega shopping malls.
It is true then that, many of them are business oriented that surpasses expectations that lead to their success compared to those that are from other countries. In fact, as confirmed by Forbes' in 2018, among the list of 2,200 billionaires around the world the wealthiest individual and families are from UAE.
Even then those that are in business about health care, money exchange, and property have continued to prosper and gain, but those that ventured in banking investments, automobiles and other industries showed a challenge by a notable decrease in profit.
Born and raised as well in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Hussain Al Nowais is one of the mentioned successful billionaires that made a record in the business industry. His education background is impressive in the sense that he graduated in Portland, France, and London.
A graduate of Business Administration in 1979, led to his unquestionable success. His self-made wealth is only an indication that he was a determined businessman.
Hussain Al Nowais managed his family business at first with only a few staff. On the record today, he now has over 6,000 employees and still growing to this date, which is inspiring.
Facing challenges, where he thought he can't get over with, are not new to him as he experiences this like many others but he made sure that he is not disheartened and used these challenges to give him room for greater growth.
His achievement for 30 years in banking, finance, investments and project developments just shows his enthusiasm that led to his great achievement. This brought to where he is now.
Having great responsibilities as a successful businessman, Hussain Al Nowais have chaired several companies. Those that which he is handling are Senaat, one of UAE's largest industrial holding companies; Al Nowais Investments where he is now the Executive Chairman, LLC Khalifa Fund, Emirates Steel and National Petroleum Construction Company are a few to mention.
Connected to 12 Board Members, in 12 organizations in 11 different industries all over the globe. Hussain Al Nowais investments now covers Oil and Gas Petrochemicals,Energy, Engineering and Construction, Real Estate and Hospitality, healthcare, Information, Communication and Technology.
Hence, it is no wonder that Hussain Al Nowais profits and wealth increase because his investments covers almost everything of necessity and importance to people.
One quality trait that his investments portray is the long-standing partnerships with leading players in the industry.

Web Accelerators
Discover how employing a Web Accelerator can significantly boost the performance of your web site.
A web accelerator is a piece of software which accelerates a website typically by caching content and providing it instead of the server. Such apps can be used for both static and dynamic sites since there are a variety of accelerators that can cache both static content and database calls and responses. The best thing about using a web accelerator is that a given Internet site shall perform substantially faster without employing more system resources. Just the opposite, this kind of a site will demand a lesser amount of resources to function because the web accelerator will tackle most requests instead of the web server. Unlike many companies that do not offer web accelerators with their solutions or offer only one, we offer 3 different ones that will permit you to speed up your websites whatever their style or content.
Web Accelerators in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting packages include three web accelerators that you will be able to employ depending on the Internet sites that you would like to run. Memcached is employed to cache database or API calls and responses, which can tremendously enhance the performance of dynamic sites. Varnish is a popular HTTP accelerator that caches pages and provides them to the website visitors much quicker than the server after the first time they open them. Node.js is an event-driven platform employed for scalable real-time programs for example booking websites. Depending on the web hosting package you choose, these 3 apps might already be included or could be optional upgrades. In any case, you'll be able to choose how many instances of every one of them shall be at your disposal and how much memory they ought to use. These accelerators are supplied only by a handful of Internet hosting providers, including ours, and they can raise the speed of your web applications considerably.
- Web Accelerators in Semi-dedicated ServersThe Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our semi-dedicated server solutions will allow you to use Memcached, Varnish and Node.js for your websites. Memcached is among the most popular accelerators as it can easily increase the speed of any API or database-driven website by caching requests and responses, thus the hosting server will not need to process identical requests time and time again. The platform is perfect for sites created with programs like Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress. Varnish is a powerful accelerator that caches any sort of content and is also known as an HTTP reverse proxy. It caches pages that are opened by a site visitor for the first time and provides them every time that very same visitor opens them again. Varnish can accelerate an Internet site several times since it delivers content quicker than any web server. Node.js is a platform used for scalable real-time programs like chats, browser games or social networks. It processes info in little pieces the instant a user enters something, therefore it operates considerably faster than similar platforms where users submit massive chunks of info that need time to be processed. You'll be able to choose the number of instances and the dedicated memory for every one of the 3 accelerators through your CP.
- Web Accelerators in VPS ServersAll VPS servers that are integrated with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you shall have several hundred megabytes of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, that is also referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy, caches web pages the first time a site visitor opens them and provides them if that guest opens them again, therefore the hosting server shall not have to perform any action. Since Varnish works considerably faster than any hosting server, an Internet site using this accelerator will work several times quicker. Memcached is a platform which caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven apps that store their content in a database. Node.js is a powerful platform for creating scalable web programs. Any data on an Internet site that uses Node.js is processed in real time, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking Internet sites, web-based chats, browser games, and so on.
- Web Accelerators in Dedicated ServersMemcached, Varnish and Node.js come with all dedicated servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and based on the plan which you pick, you will also have several gigabytes of dedicated memory for them. Memcached will decrease the hosting server load by lowering the amount of queries that need to be dealt with since it caches database calls and responses. You'll be able to use it on every Internet site which uses an API or a database - as an illustration, any site developed with WordPress or Joomla™. Varnish can boost the performance of any type of website by caching whole pages the first time a visitor opens them. The accelerator delivers the pages if the exact same visitor opens them later and considering the fact that it does that considerably quicker than the hosting server, the visitor will be able to look through your site at least a couple of times faster. That is why Varnish is often referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. Node.js is a sophisticated platform that will enable you to build booking websites, web chats and other apps in which real-time server-user interaction is required. It processes the info in tiny parts as the user fills different boxes and doesn't wait for all boxes to be filled and processed as one large piece of information, which makes Node.js much faster than similar programs.

How to Offset Center Boning Channels?
How to offset center boning channels?
First off, you might be wondering why would you even want to do such a thing. Is it wrong if they are a bit off to one side or the other?
No, not when it comes to functionality. It is perfectly fine to divide your pattern pieces as covered in past tutorial "How to add more boning channels to corset patterns?"
This method is absolutely fine and functional but we can make things a bit nicer looking!
Now, we run into a little problem of asymmetry with corset constrictions that place just one bone on one side of the connecting seams. One such method is demonstrated in tutorial "Welt Seam Method Strength Layer with Floating Lining", for example.
By offsetting the boning placements on the middle of pattern pieces, we correct the asymmetry. This in turn, makes the corset look a bit more balanced.
Learn how to do this to start working on your newest, better than ever before, corset!
Hope you will find this method helpful.
Happy sewing!
Method is demonstrated on Underbust corset pattern LOLITA though the same principle can be applied to any other corset patterns.
Aside from the instructional tutorial being available online, it can also be DOWNLOADED as a PDF file for offline viewing.
Offset Center Boning Channels
You don't need it but it will make your corsets look better!!!
In this tutorial, you will upgrade your knowledge from a past tutorial "How to add more boning channels to corset patterns".
You will take into account the boning channels sewing in the seam allowances before dividing your pattern into 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4, depending on how many boning channels can fit in the pattern piece.
This method is best used on corset constructions that place one bone per connecting seam.
Pattern used as an example is Underbust Corset Pattern LOLITA by AraneaBlack.
First, we need to establish the general corset construction this method is applicable on.
This is used on constructions that have all seam allowances ironed to one side,from center front to center back, or vice versa.
Pick a side a stick to it, doesn't matter which way you go.
Boning channel is located in or on that seam allowance.
In this example, we will work with seam allowances ironed from center front to center back.
Diagram illustrates where will the channels end up with this allowance orientation.
We will focus on patter piece 2 to explain the method.
In this example, we have the boning channel sewn directly into the seam allowance.
One tops stitch line right next to the connecting seam, to remove the stress from it.
Other top stitch line 9mm or 3/8" from the first line.
This creates a channel that can house a 6mm or 1/4" wide bone.
Now that you have the allowance channels parameters, measure the circumference width from the second top stitch line to the connecting seam.
Marked as "X", "Y", and "Z".
Treat these as the widths of pattern pieces, instead of their usually full width like we did in the past tutorial on adding extra boning channels.
Divide the "X", "Y", and "Z"measures in half.In 1/3 or 1/4 if you can and want to fit more boning into the pattern piece.
"X" / 2 = "a"
"Y" / 2 = "b"
"Z" / 2 = "c"
From the connecting seam line, mark the values of "a", "b", and "c" on the circumference lines.
Measure the width of you boning casing or tape.
Divide the value in half.
Casing or tape / 2 = "W"
Measure the amount "W"from the marked halves on all circumference lines.
Connect the new points with straight lines.
Extend them to reach top and bottom edges.
Refine and smooth out the new line if needed.
You will cut the pattern piece on this new line after you've transferred everything else on to the fabric.
That way, you can use it as the guide for bone casing/tape placement.
Repeat the same process on all pattern pieces.
Your pattern is ready to be made into a corset.
Happy sewing!

When God says no to my shortsighted demands, He shows me the beauty beyond.
Worthy of our Praise
Do you ever feel God doesn't hear your prayers, that He doesn't care? Have you been praying a specific prayer for forever, and nothing has happened?
I'm not promising easy answers to those questions. I'm still seeking answers myself. No cookie cutter solutions–which I'm sure you've already given up on, but I hope this blog site and author website can provide hope while we both wait for the God of the universe to finish His work behind the scenes.
Like us, Debbie and her family, the main characters in Sparkles from Silence, are waiting on God to help them through their struggles and trials in life. Once a month, I post some little detail related to the plot. Something in life worthy of reflection. The questions we have for God, questions Debbie might consider. Occasionally, I add photos of my sister and our family, the real-life Debbie, Krista, Phil, and Wayne!
Also once a month, I post an article related to thoughts on God and people and the universe–spiritual metaphors.
I trust He has a perfect plan for me–and for you. Plans to make us better than we ever dreamed. The God who set the galaxies in motion and who put together all the parts of an atom is more than worthy of our praise!

World Without Sound
World Without Sound is a fictionalized version of our family's struggle to communicate with my deaf sister. Tricia was a "German Measles" baby, born at the end of 1964 in the middle of the rubella epidemic. Hundreds of thousands of children were born with severe disabilities.
Tricia is profoundly deaf. She is also blind in one eye and has a mild case of cerebral palsy. At three months old, she underwent pioneer open-heart surgery to close a hole in the aorta.
What was it like to grow up with a sibling who couldn't hear or speak? How did she learn our language? World Without Sound shares those answers with all who are interested.
Short Stories in Anthologies
While I enjoy reading fantasy and science fiction, I don't write in those genres. My writing portrays real life, and each of my published short stories is grounded in a true event.
"Right 232" in Light Bearers is nonfiction. My father never told us what happened until years after his miracle.
"Higher Ground" in Hodgepodege recounts some real events that my parents experienced in Hurricane Irene.
The idea for "Save the Last Dance" in Dancing Up a Storm came from my high school years. However, the main character is a vague (and better) version of me at that age!
Fifty years ago, most schools for the deaf believed teaching deaf children to speak was the most helpful form of education if they were to get along in the hearing world. So I never learned sign language when I lived at home with my sister. Times and attitudes have changed.

For the second leg of our trip we went to NYC to visit friends, family, and FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology). It was such a great trip and I felt pretty natural in the NYC "habitat." We stayed on the Upper West Side at a friends apartment and explored Manhattan and Brooklyn. My two favorite parts were definitely getting Ladurée macarons on the Upper East Side, and exploring Willamsburg on the last day. The vibe was so chill and there is more sky there which I enjoyed. The macarons were the best I've ever had, and now I understand what the big deal is! FIT was really impressive, if I decided to go there for school, I would study Fashion Merchandising & Management, with the intent to continue to get e BFA in Fabric Styling. It is so exciting and crazy that I'll be going to college soon…
Here are some photos from the trip!

I've had a wonderful life (so far) filled with lots of interesting detours and fruitful sidetracks. I like to see my life as an adventure. All my experiences (both conscious and otherwise) have conspired to provide a full and enjoyed life. Of course, there have been the inevitable setbacks, sadness and adversity. But those are the real anvils on which our character is shaped. I embrace, to the best of my ability, the ups and the downs.
Through a strange sequence of events I have spent the last 20 years in San Diego working as a software engineer of various capacities (from grunt developer to VP). I love my work but work alone doesn't make a life. I am fortunate to have a loving husband, three wonderful children (and their spouses/mates) and, to my great delight, one grandson. It has come as a complete surprise how much I love that child!
I have had a lifelong interest in food, cooking, baking and health. A more recent passion is photography. This blog is intended as a way to share my life and interests with others.

The last time I visited the Towner, it was out of town in an old grange, opposite the oldest pub in Sussex. That was in 2004 and it was to see an exhibition of illustrations from Ladybird Books - and of course its extensive collection of Eric Ravilious paintings. Now it's relocated to the town centre, a modernist building tacked onto the Congress Theatre and overlooking Eastbourne's famous grass tennis courts. So, after saying hello to Ed Boxall doing a workshop in the kid's room (the Art Box, actually - there are also rooms called Junction Box, Fuse Box and Light Box - why don't they give rooms sensible names these days?) my neighbour Angie and I plunged into the exhibition on the second floor entitled People's Choice, a miscelleny of works presumably from the permanent collection arranged in themes: landscapes, seascapes, abstract, etc, and with a corner of his own, Eric Ravilious. There were six paintings in all, including Cuckmere Haven and two watercolours with trains. A good start I thought. From the rest, Angie's favourite was Windover in Winter (1945) by Frank Wootton, who apparently would regularly cycle 60 miles to Sussex from London to paint the South Downs. Mine was Charles Knight's oil painting of Ditchling Beacon - deceptively scruffy close up but magically taking form from a distance. There were also a couple of not brilliant Edward Bawdens in the room too.

Then it was up to the top for the cafe before the lunchtime rush. The soup of the day contained chicken so I pointed to a small pie-type thing in a cabinet which was rushed to the kitchen to be warmed up. It turned out to be a caramelised onion and goat's cheese tart, and with a few leaves and a cherry tomato cut in to quarters, came to £7.95!! With a regular cappuccino, I'd spent almost a tenner. Ah well, I'll ask before oredering next time. It was tasty enough but had been microwaved so the pastry was soggy. Angie's smallish £4.95 soup didn't look too special either. Also on the top floor was a darkened room containing three 'chandeliers' made from plaster bones, surrounded by cardboard boxes and piles of newspapers ('In the eyes of others' by Jodie Carey). So, where was the rest of the permanent collection? On the ground floor was a huge couple of spaces, one with contemporary works, including an Ian Hamilton Finlay sculpture and an Anya Gallaccio, containing well rotted flowers - and in the other massive space a couple of film/video installations. And that was it! Apparently you can view the 4000-odd collection in store by appointment and I was told I would soon be able to look at them on the website (but there again, I could buy a book and stay at home!). Very disappointing.
On a tip-off from Peter and Lisa we then went to find the Musgrave Collection, via a walk along the prom. We found it on Seaside Road. It couldn't be more different than the Towner - a low-tech space with tons of stuff crammed into the former shop. George Musgrave is 93 and still painting - he has led a remarkable life, all documented in his many oil paintings (his latest is in the shop window) - he invented yellow lines on roads, designed and made plastic toy soldiers, was a minister in Angola - all documented in his painting 'Speck of Dust'. This is how museums should be (and if you like this one, give Seaford Museum a go). The modern style of curating seems to be to put as few objects into as large a space as possible - this is the old fashioned museum at its best. There is also a Museum of Shops in Eastbourne, but will have to wait for another day. It was scorching hot and after a fairtrade tea and cake in a hairdressers by a roundabout got the train back, changing at Lewes.

Lyric: "What the fuck? I thought I conquered the whole world/Crushed Moe Dee, Hammer, and Ice-T's girl."
Complex says: LL must have been feeling unappreciated in '95 when he spit this line, so he figured he ought to flex his muscles and remind everyone that he was still LL Cool J. And although battling Kool Moe Dee and Ice-T is something to be proud of, lyrically outshining Hammer isn't an accomplishment. It's a given.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'soar' tag.
The world headlines scream with grueling details of torture and slaying of helpless innocents. The nation roils as hateful chants billow across a land erupting with violence. Local newscasts reveal cases of abuse and oppression lurk behind neighboring doors, too. Disease, poverty, and despair buzzes throughout the social media posts and text messages we receive from our loved ones. Misery's intensifying din bloodies our ears.
Longfellow's hymn penned during the Civil War echoes into our modern lives with eerie relevance.
"And in despair I bowed my head
'There is no peace on earth,' I said,
'For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.'"1
A hundred and fifty years after mothers watched their sons kill one another in battle, we still wring our hands at the horrors around us. The battles differ, but ravage our country with the same merciless fervor. Addiction, cancer, and depression besiege us. Homelessness and trafficking invade our communities. Our backs crumple as endless crises add burdens to our hearts. Another untimely death. Three more terminal diagnoses. Hopeless murmurs swarm. How much more can we take?
None. The weight exceeds the limits of our design. We search for respite to brace ourselves, but the efforts prove futile. Human relationships and man-made attempts at solace fail to sustain our needs. Earth cannot manufacture peace. Our only hope begins with unchaining our hearts from self-reliance. We were not designed to bear increasing burdens, but to carry them to Someone stronger. One Who exchanges them for magnificent peace surpassing any known to the earth or even comprehensible to human thought. The Lord alone grants solace powerful enough to protect and strengthen us.
He wraps us in the wind of His Spirit, insulating us against the chaos. His embrace uplifts our souls, as if suspended among the clouds and renewed with strength to soar. Our hope and breath rise full once more. Christ revives us to bear His life's peace. His solace compels us to reach out from our solitude and share it.
The pain of the world has not ended, nor are we dull to its groaning. Christ shapes our lives and compassion into His likeness. Anxiety removed, our hearts hold more room for love. With this revitalization, God equips us to glide on His power. Not above the suffering, but into the midst of it. We carry the message of divine peace to this despairing world. For there is no peace from this dark earth, but He sends rays of divine solace into it through us.
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7).
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" (John 14:27).
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:6-7).
1 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1864, Available at http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/i/h/iheardtb.htm
Talons gripping the crag's edge, the eagle gazes across miles of sheer rock face. Treetops and low clouds obscure the stream on the floor below. He attunes each feather to the wind's whisper. When the call embraces his pinions just so, he leaps. Not a trial step or tentative wiggle of his pinky toe, but a headlong dive over the ravine. Sunlight meets a twinkle in his fearless eyes. The wind catches his wings and buoys him aloft. Proving the substance of his confidence. As it had done before.
I teeter at the edge of a windy ravine when
- a challenge demands training and experience I don't have
- resources shrink
- crises overwhelm me
- a calling requires more time than I can spare
- Inefficacy hobbles my dreams
Have you been there with me?
My toenails grip the precipice until its chalky edge crumbles. I cry out to the Lord, "I can't do this!"
He knows I can't deal with this on my own.
Of course He knows. So, I might ask, "Why did you let me get into this situation?"
I cannot discern an answer, but the wind seems to beckon me. Not into an argument, but a leap. Will I abandon my futile grip, my intent to figure it out, my delusion of control? Dive into the divine embrace and trust Him to bear me up?
The option to back away from faith looms in my shadow. Ahead, immense depth gapes with nothing to uphold me but the power of an invisible force. And the wings He crafted for me. Oh, yes, how could I forget? He and I have done this before.
When my strength and resources fell short, He showed up. Every time I asked. Every time I stepped out in faith to answer His call. That updraft always proves stronger than the gravity of my life.
I find myself pausing to ask why less often. Without glancing back, I shout into the gale, "It's all up to You!" I squint and leap into the majestic rush. Wings spread in faith, I soar along the sun-spangled drafts I'd never witness on my own power.
Thank You, Lord, for opportunities to strengthen my faith and empowering a thrilling flight.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1).
"I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you" (Isaiah 46:4).
"Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me" (Psalm 63:7-8).
Gravity sucks us to the earth. The weight of our flesh drags us through the grime of this world. We expend all the energy we consume in the effort to sustain ourselves. At the end of the day, we collapse with exhaustion with nothing more to look forward to than another day of survival. Breaking away from the dust attraction seems impossible. In the natural course of survival, tomorrow carries no more hope than today.
Sin imprisons the earth-bound in despair. An ever-loving God extends us a way to rise from captivity. Like all freedom, ours comes at great cost. Christ suffered torture and death to pay our way free from the spiritual forms of both. He rent His body to craft wings for our souls.
We need more than a "thing with feathers" to break the gravitational pull of sin. Christ offers us wings of divine hope, which lift us from the natural pull of our depravity. Why should we live any longer as if our only means of living is a trudging through slime dragging tons of baggage? He invests His Spirit in us to lift our souls away from earthly prisons. No longer mired in addictions, bitterness, or greed. No more snares of fear, rage, or ambivalence. We have a great deal more to look forward to than these dusty trails, today and in the eternal future. Let us set our focus higher, on things beyond this dirt at our feet. Let's take wing and live free.
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death" (Romans 8:1-2).
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1).
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36).
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom" (2 Corinthians 3:17).
"in the day of salvation I will help you… to say to the captives, 'Come out,'
and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'" (Isaiah 49:8-9)
" Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death" (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Avions Voisin
Avions Voisin
Avions Voisin was a highly respected French manufacturer who produced many cars and aeroplanes. Founded in 1905, first car produced in 1919 then floundered in 1946
Avions was a great believer in weight reduction so used aluminium extensively and in the early 30's developed a monocoque construction body – as Citroen did later in an almost copycat fashion – achieving both weight reduction and a more rigid body.
Avions experimented with many engines, its favourite being the sleeve valve Knight engine, both 4 cylinder and 6, plus I understand a prototype V8. Later in some models the Graham 3.5 litre engine was used.
Another prototype around 1921 was a 7.2litre V12, also an inline twelve cylinder plus a prototype seven-cylinder radial. Now the radial would be interesting and I would like to know how it was fitted into a car as this would require some thoughtful engineering especially with the driveshaft.
This video shows 5 Avions at the Barrington Concurs, one is a 1933 model completely original and has never been restored.

Well, I don't know if daycare is getting any easier. Mainly because we haven't been there! The Terrors went on Monday, and loved it. Loved, loved, loved it. They went on Tuesday, and I didn't cry. They again had the best time ever. And then. Tuesday evening, we noticed a rash of sorts on Girl Terror's legs. It looked a bit like insect bites, but not quite. Perhaps chicken pox, but she's had the shot and these spots had no blisters. An allergic reaction? To what?!
I checked my daycare manual. Just as I suspected, children with undiagnosed rashes are not welcome. I called Wendi (daycare lady), and told her Girl Terror would be absent, and we would just keep Boy Terror home as well. If a parent has to be home from work, might as well have both kids.
Wednesday, Hubby stayed home with Boy Terror, watching for spots, and I took Girl Terror to Out Patients. The doc on duty, the nurse, and a doctor who was passing by all looked at my poor polka dotted girl. By now, the spots were everywhere except her face and back. The unanimous conclusion? "Mystery spots". No clue. They looked it up in books. They hummed and hawed. Finally, they said to go home, wash all her bedding and the clothes she'd been wearing, and come back late afternoon.
I dropped Girl Terror off at home, and went back to work for a few hours. Later, we met up with our own family doctor in out patients. He was mystified. I told him "I MUST have a diagnosis, or she can't go back to daycare! School starts next week, and I have to be there! I can't call in sick on my first day!" He laughed at me and said "No daycare". He gave us a diagnosis of "rash from unknown causes" and said "She might be contagious. She might not be. I guess time will tell! Bring her in to see me tomorrow if she's not better".
Today, Boy Terror went to daycare, blessedly spot free. So far. He didn't seem to mind going alone. In fact, I don't think he even noticed. Hubby went to work, and Girl Terror and I went to my school. She played, and coloured, wrote on the chalkboard, and watched me photocopy, plan, and move desks. Before lunch we went to see the doctor, who is still stumped. The best he can come up with is a guess: Perhaps her chicken pox vaccine was not 100%, and this is a modified, mutated form of chicken pox. She doesn't itch, but the spots are starting to look very poxy. Hmmmm. He's treating it as a viral infection, and we will just watch and wait. In the meantime, no daycare until the spots go away. And if Boy Terror is going to get it, it will show up anytime in the next three weeks.
This cannot be the best way to start a new job, a new day care, or a new school year. At least she's perfectly fine (other than the bright red spots). She's dancing all over the place, whipping up her shirt to show anyone who asks to see the spots, and talking non-stop about Little Bear, and when he got the spots, and when Mummy was little, and she had the spots, and on and on and on....

On-line research: make a thorough on-line investigation for present details on home improvement grants in the U.S. government internet sites. The HUD and the federal government therefore sponsor grants and assistance applications for monetarily deprived households who are in require of cash for property repairing purpose. There are specific applications like the Chicago Public School Technique that also provide housing grants to teachers. Free of charge house repair grants for veterans are some of such policies which HUD proactively initiates. If you have a home improvement project in mind to fix, repair or upgrade your house, you may possibly qualify for free of charge home improvement grants income , which can support spend for these fees. While this may possibly be the case for other sorts of federal grants, it is not so for home improvement grants.
To supply help and to sustain recruitment of teachers in rural schools the US government gives federal housing grants to teachers that not only provide a shelter but also covers the expenditures of rent. There are various kinds of grants which can help men and women looking to buy their new house. There are cases where the percentage of grant is based on earnings or the quantity of fund offered.
Besides these, there are nonprofits, state governments, private organizations and nearby offices that may possibly supply help with residence improvement or repair requirements and financially help Veterans for an independent and far better normal of living. The Property Investment and Partnership Plan: this is 1 of the block grants that the Federal Government provides to every state. In this system, the senior citizens with low revenue can get federal loans and grants for their much-required property maintenance.
Grants, housing repair programs, and cash assistance is delegated to local governments, county and non-profit organization to support needy men and women with their property improvement requirements. Particular college districts with thin population often supply rented houses to teachers at low or discounted rates to offset their low salaries. U.S. Division of Housing and Urban Development: low-revenue households can avail an exhaustive list of grants for residence repair in virtually all states. Fortunately, with the aid of home improvement grants , they no longer want to really feel that way.
If you're pondering about expanding or fixing up your home, don't overlook the home improvement grants that can be obtained from the government and other private foundations. There are various other charities and foundations, all across the country, which offer totally free house repair grants to veterans and also other eligible applicants. Unlike loans, government grants do no demand a credit verify, safety deposit, collateral or a cosigner. It consists of cost-free window replacement for low-earnings families to building on properties.
