The Right Workers Comp Insurance for Your Business
Orlando Workers Comp Insurance is a wonderful thing. If an employee is injured on the job, he or she gets medical bills paid. This includes hospital bills, doctor's visits, physical therapy sessions and prescriptions. Workers receive a percentage of lost wages while out on workman's comp. As a business owner with coverage, you admit no fault and employees get benefits without suing. It is a win-win situation. Your insurance provider helps you create an environment that promotes safety that prevents claims. Workers are made aware that benefits are not provided for illegal or reckless behavior that violates company policy. Rehabilitation is part of coverage. This ensures that workers can get back on the job and to their full salary and productivity as soon as possible.
Orlando Workman's Comp insurance is required in Florida. Having coverage that is comprehensive and affordable will keep your business on budget. Employee morale remains high when staff knows they will be cared for in the event of an accident or injury. Workers are your greatest asset. You rest easy knowing they can work on getting well rather than worrying about bills. Give your policy a check up to make sure that you are complying with all laws. You deserve the best coverage for your business and your workforce.

A 'new' book on Turkish baths
Perhaps this website has begun to have an impact on the near invisibility of the once-popular institution of the Victorian Turkish bath!
Or perhaps not?
Well, whatever.
In any event, a warm welcome must surely be given to the first book to be published on the design of the Turkish bath for nearly ninety years. And even if a closer examination shows that this is a facsimile reprint in paperback of the well-known J J Cosgrove work first published in 1913, its publication is still a remarkable event.
This North American work, published 23 years after Robert Owen Allsop's The Turkish bath (often referred to on this site), is more technical than the British book. But the two well complement each other: Allsop was an architect and his emphasis was on the design, furnishing, and fitting of the Turkish bath; Cosgrove was a sanitary engineer whose emphasis was on the heating and plumbing aspects. But each produced a volume which was, in its author's view, a comprehensive treatment.
The book runs to nearly 200 pages and includes the original illustrations which might, perhaps, have been reproduced with more clarity. There are also numerous diagrams and tables, and even some questions and calculations, together with worked solutions.
It would be fascinating to know which market Books for Business, the New York and Hong Kong publishers, are aiming the reprint at. The price, too high even to contemplate here in print, will tend to ensure that the book will, almost without exception, be purchased by libraries. We wish the book well, and would love to hear from those whose studies or research make it an important source of relevant information. bathers.

Rhode Island Red
Rhode Island Reds are large, dual purpose chicken that is hardy in all climates, including those that are cold. They can be seen in flocks from Mexico to Canada and will happily continue laying through the winter, providing their families with hearty, healthy eggs all through the colder months. The Rhode Island Red lays a large, brown egg. Recognized by their red feathers and black tipped wings and tails, they are a fairly docile hen with aggressive roosters. Most hens in this breed love to be held and petted; they are an infrequent brooder but a wonderful mother to chicks. They were developed in 19th century New England, but decreased in popularity as the small time farmer has disappeared. They are making a comeback lately amongst hobby farmers and small flock owners.
A large, heavy and fluffy bird, the Orpington is a friendly and docile addition to any flock. The thrive in all climates but are especially hardy in cold weather, providing owners with a good crop of eggs all year long. Orpington eggs are large sized and brown in color. They come in four colors; buff, black, blue and white, though the blue and black are especially rare. They were developed in the town of Orpington, in Kent, England, during the late 1800's. They began as a meat bird but evolved in a dual purpose bird as commercial production requested darker skin colors. Their feathers are loose, giving them the huge "mother hen" look that is seen in story books. Chicks tend to be a bit hen-pecked until they mature; the breed remains docile throughout its life.
Plymouth Rock
The Plymouth Rock is one of the most well known and best loved chickens in the farm or backyard. They are a hardy and docile breed, love to be handled and good layers in any climate. The most common variety is the "barred" rock, a chicken with banded feathers that give it a look of an old school prison jumpsuit. Thriving in winter as well as summer, this breed of chicken provides a good laying hen throughout the year with large eggs ranging from light colored or pink to medium brown. A dual-purpose chicken, they are loved both for the meat they provide as well as the abundance of eggs. Their personalities are sweet and loving. The Plymouth Rock is an excellent addition to any small flock.
The Wyandotte comes in a variety of colors with the silver laced being the most common. The resemble the barred rock, when silver laced, the main difference being that the feathers are edged in black rather than being a banded black and white. Up close, this give the impression of a lacy shawl. Wyandottes are a hearty breed, on the largish side. They are good layers light brown to rich brown eggs and happy to lay through the winter. Maturing early, this is a breed that tends to be aloof when dealing with people. Though they can be aggressive, most prefer to simply not bother with people and go about their business. They were developed in the Northeast in the late 19th century.
The first ever Canadian breed, this is a rare bird even in its homeland. They are extremely cold hardy, laying large brown eggs all year long. They mature early and are a dual purpose bird. They tend to be biggish, weighing about 8 pounds and are generally pleasant to have in the farm yard, though some may tend towards skittishness.

Human After All – Why Electronic Music Is One Of The Best Forms Of Art
We have all been there. You're in the middle of a discussion about music, or any art form in general and the ages old argument is brought up – "Electronic music has no emotion because it's made on computers and doesn't use real instruments, so it isn't "real" music." Just last week I had not the first, and definitely not the last argument with my dad about this, no matter how I explained it, or how I made him try to realise that not all electronic songs are for a dancefloor and party vibe, it simply wouldn't change his opinion. And he definitely isn't alone in this opinion either.
This popular misconception with dance music and electronic music in general stems from it's appearance in pop music, as dance music has stormed the charts. Typically it can be hard to find much emotion or feeling in pop songs other than a happy or party vibe. Take Martin Garrix' worldwide sensation and the big room track everyone loves to hate – "Animals". It's hard to really see any deeper feeling or emotion behind this track, and that's completely understandable and acceptable, but that's not what this tune is trying to do, however just because a couple of tracks are like this, doesn't give anyone the right whatsoever to write off an entire genre for "lacking emotion."
Just as a guitar is strummed, a computer can be programmed to create whatever breathtaking melodies or goose-bump inducing synths the user desires, and believe me, it isn't exactly easy to produce a good track. It's something that takes a huge ammount of knowledge and hard work before your tracks even sound remotely professional, and to try to add your emotions or feelings on top of this is a whole other world in itself. Forget creating a guitar solo, try programming your synthesizer to replicate the exact sound design you have in your head.
As someone who's life revolves around electronic music, it can be sometimes hard to convey the genre as a legitimate form of music to those uneducated in the music when there are hugely popular EDM acts who are quite frankly ruining the genres status (see: Vinai) and making it sometimes embarrassing and hard to show that electronic music is full to the brim of real human emotion and not just party tunes. Now I'm a huge fan of big room, and I'm not in anyway attempting to slate it at all, but there is more to this music than just the typical party anthems we hear and love every day. Even more so, many big room mainstage productions are also deeply emotional *cough cough* "Don't you worry child" which some people are just ignorant to see.
Now emotion comes in many different forms, from happiness, sadness, melancholy etc. and while we're on the topic, the swedes are one popular group of musicians who can really convey emotion through their productions. What has to be my favourite quote of all time originated from the Swedish legends, and it's not only something that applies to music, but which applies to life as a whole-"The goosebumps never lie." Something which was always important to all 3 members of the mafia, and which is definitely heard in their solo productions as well as together is that feeling of goosebumps, whether it's from the absolutely massive rave synths of "One", to the heartbreak of "Don't you worry child", the Swedes knew what they were doing and looking back into their past days gives us an even further insight into the emotions of 3 men who were just chasing goose bumps. Take Axwell for example, in an SHM interview from 2012, he sums up electronic music beautifully, saying "We make music on our computer, so in a sense we play every instrument." Not limited to a single instrument, electronic music producers have a whole world to explore when it comes to composition, and this allows them to transfer the feelings across like no other genre. Axwell himself has a saying which rings through for dance music as a whole- "turn off your brain and turn on your heart", as a genre it allows us to express ourselves in any way imaginable, and at any event we always get that feeling of love. That euphoric rush, that feeling of love and connection to the music and everyone around you, the hairs standing on end are all what Axwell stood for, and just listening to what has to be his best solo track "Open your heart" conveys all of these emotions in one. It's hard to listen to this track and not to reciprocate some sort of emotion. For as long as I live, I will never forget standing watching Axwell ^ Ingrosso perform at Tomorrowland this year, it was my first ever festival, and my first chance to see 2/3 of the Mafia play live and to experience some of the songs which originally got me into dance music in the beginning in a live atmosphere. Around half way through that seminal set, and seemingly out of no where they dropped the Axwell mix of "In my mind." For a brief moment I was suspended in time as I couldn't capture what exactly was happening around me, but a split second later I suddenly realised what I was being exposed to, and I broke down into tears of happiness as 60,000 people at the mainstage all sang along in tandem, I felt as though I was surrounded by 60,000 of my best friends, and that we were all experiencing that same feeling of ecstasy and joy at once. For anyone who has ever cried tears of happiness, you will know how it feels and it is a very odd sensation that can be impossible to describe. The next morning, I sprinted to the middle of the mainstage after hearing the opening of Arty and Mat Zo's masterpiece- "Rebound", and when the massive synth line came in, as the rain was pouring down around me with only a small crowd gathered I knew that no matter what hardships I experience, I'll come out of them alright, and when things get tough I always think back to this moment of felicity. It's a moment which I will bring with me to the grave, and one of those small moments that life is made of. To say that electronic music has no emotion feels insulting after experiencing something like that.
Speaking of small moments in life, who could argue that electronic music has no emotion after hearing, and even more so, after seeing Above & Beyond live, a group of 3 trance producers who are quite well known for people crying at their shows. For anyone who asks me why I am so into dance music, I always point them to this video, which sums up why this culture is so good, and which provides a deeper meaning to life in general. Above & Beyond's productions are stunning, with heart felt lyrics and songs so poignant, they have been played at funerals. Pretty impressive for something made using a computer.
One particular artist who probably has a larger discography than any other dance musician and who can transform feelings into his music is none other than deadmau5. It would be nearly impossible to write an article on the emotions of electronica without discussing the works of Joel Zimmerman. Now I could write all day on the mau5, but to look at a few of his tracks gives you enough of an idea to see how "real" electronic music is and how much emotion can be poured out into tracks. One such track, a lesser known mau5 tune is "Monday" and listening you can experience the sadness Joel must have been going through at the time during a point in his life when he was probably very much on the brink of giving up music completely (2006). Looking at a song written for a massive mau5 fan who sadly passed away: "Bleed" is another example of the sheer power of music and shows exactly how the synthesizer can be programmed to delve into the meaning of life itself. Then there are other deadmau5 productions which quite simply can not be described in any form possible. The sort of songs so far down the rabbit hole that they can only be experienced to be understood. Music and notes which bring out a sheet of shivers all over our bodies and which give us a deeper understanding of ourselves and our connection to music. "Strobe" is one of these songs. For anyone who hasn't heard it, prepare yourself for the greatest dance song of all time. A ballad of electronica which gives a much larger meaning to dance culture, from the good times and the bad, bringing us through exactly what and why we love this music, and why this is such an integral part of our lives, the goosebumps never lie, and are only brought out during a moment in life which is very real and very human. That's what this song taps into. That real human feeling of life itself.
Delving deeper into the electronic relm, we find artists like Aphex Twin who's ambient tracks such as "Rhubarb", with it's trance inducing and relaxing pads take us to a dark and melancholy place, where we ponder on our entire lives and everything that has gone right and wrong. What has to be the best Aphex tune, and the best ambient recording of all time is "Lichen," you'll be extremely hard pressed to find any song at all from any genre that elicits emotion like this. I can only picture lying on my deathbed, looking back at the events of my life and all of the equally happy and sad moments, the moments that gave me goosebumps, the times I broke down uncontrollably, and the times when I was so filled with happiness, so filled with euphoria and exhilaration that every problem in life seemed so insignificant in comparison to the joy I was experiencing. Life has its ups and downs and that's just part of the journey, and listening to Lichen makes me feel as though I'm at the end of that journey-but not in a sad way. That is what an artist aims for, that is why art forms are held with such high esteem among humans, and to slate an art form such as electronic music for "lacking depth" is beyond ridiculous. It would probably be more accurate to say the person themself lacks depth for being unable to see the beauty in electronica, for not being able to look past what's popular, and for sadly not being able to understand and experience the same feelings we all derive from dance music, from the times when the music has helped lift us, to when it has helped to console us. No matter what the feeling, there is always an electronic song out there, and to say otherwise is downright absurd.

There are interesting technologies being proposed and promoted.
Some of you may have even seen investments worth considering or at least want to consider "going green" with a portion of your portfolio.
Before you do so, consider the Harvard Business Review article reprinted below. The notion of "range anxiety" for dead batteries in electric cars is just one example of the need for infrastructure before all the technologies will have a chance to work.
Therefore, be very cautious about any green investing….. until we see more work done to support such technology ….
Throwing Money at the Energy Problem Isn't Enough
12:18 PM Monday October 26, 2009
by Gardiner Morse
Tags:Green business, Technology
Today the U.S. Energy Department announced major funding for 37 cutting-edge energy research projects, from biofuel-producing bacteria to CO2-eating enzymes. The goal, as department secretary Steven Chu put it, is to "spur the next industrial revolution in clean energy technologies." That's an inspiring notion – but throwing money at clean-tech is a partial solution at best, no matter how revolutionary the research.
America has always had a love affair with technology, and president Obama is as smitten as Secretary Chu. Obama was in Boston on Friday just a few miles from our offices, touring an MIT clean energy lab and plugging the energy and climate bill now lodged in the Senate. He was clearly dazzled by the innovation he saw – "windows that generate electricity by directing light to solar cells; light-weight, high-power batteries that aren't built, but are grown…; more efficient lighting systems that rely on nanotechnology" and so on.
But here's the problem. No technology exists in a vacuum. Consider this: President Obama would like to see a million plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles on the nation's highways in five years. But though automakers may have the technology and capacity to churn out that many electric cars, who's going to buy them if there's nowhere to plug them in? That was a hot topic at a plug-in vehicles conference held in Detroit last week, where "range anxiety" – fear of getting stranded with a dead battery – dominated conversations. Electric cars won't seriously compete with gas cars until there's a robust infrastructure of recharging stations as reliable and convenient as gas stations are now. Similarly, biofuel from bacteria won't power much transport until the systems for large-scale production, refining, and distribution are in place. It's a classic chicken-and-egg problem. But there is a solution.
Technologies can only flourish as part of a complex system involving interdependent business models, markets, and regulatory environments. In their Harvard Business Review article "How to Jump-Start the Clean-Tech Economy", Innosight's Mark Johnson and Josh Suskewicz argue that Edison didn't just invent a light bulb. He created a coherent commercial system to support it. He designed a technical platform that included generators, meters, and transmission lines; he piloted the project in an ideal test market (lower Manhattan, teeming with enthusiastic early adopters); and he used his clout to get the regulatory support he needed, fighting off the lamplighters' union, among other things. In short, he imagined the business ecosystem his light bulb would need and set about methodically creating it.
The billions of dollars being funneled into clean-technology development are necessary but not sufficient. Governments and businesses should be thinking as creatively about the infrastructure, business models, and regulatory regimes that clean technologies will need as they are about the cool technologies themselves. "What will it take to transition from a fossil-fuel economy to a clean-tech economy powered by renewable energy?" Johnson and Suskewicz ask. "The key," they conclude, "is to shift the focus from developing individual technologies to creating whole new systems."

UPDATE: Sony teased "the reveal of something new" yesterday with a brief trailer showing something draped under a red sheet. The company has now revealed the PlayStation secret that was hiding under the sheet and it's … a limited edition Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 console.Sony
As revealed by the European PlayStation Blog, consumers in the U.K., Europe and Australia will be able to purchase a limited edition 1TB slim PS4 console and controller with special Gran Turismo branding on October 18. The bundle includes a limited edition, two tone silver and black 1TB slim console, and customized controller. A Day 1 edition of Gran Turismo Sport will also be included, giving players access to $250,000 in-game credits, livery sticker packs, a chrome racing helmet, and 60 PS4 avatars.
The limited edition controller will also be available for purchase on its own or bundled with a standard edition of the game.Sony
It's safe to say this isn't a PlayStation announcement that will set the world on fire but it's still a cool thing for Gran Turismo fans, though the fact that Sony hasn't revealed whether or not the bundle will be available in North America is disappointing.
Original Story: PlayStation's Twitter accounts have begun teasing a mysterious new reveal.
The same teaser appears on several different PlayStation feeds and shows a brief video featuring something concealed by a red sheet.
We're getting geared up for the reveal of something new. pic.twitter.com/4ElSR7FoJF
— PlayStation UK (@PlayStationUK) August 21, 2017
With Gamescom currently happening in Germany, one would assume that Sony has something big to announce at the event, but the company currently has no major appreances planned. The next closest major PlayStation event is Sony's Media Showcase at Paris Games Week on October 30.
What could Sony be hiding under the sheet? A new console? A new game? We'll have an update when further information is revealed.

Note - Always mash the cake as much as you can in clockwise direction only.

Taking the Plunge Into Your Own Pool
Where you site your new water garden may be strictly limited. But you will want it where you will see and experience it most readily - alongside a patio or near the screen house. Ideally, it will also be visible from inside the home.
If you plan to fill your pool with colorful water lilies and other flowering plants (see below), see that the pool gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. On the other hand, shaded pools are still attractive and color can be added by setting shade-loving plants such as impatients immediately alongside the pool.
For easiest construction the site should be level.
Rigid preformed plastic or fiberglass ponds are available, but the hole has to be carefully dug to accept the pool. By far the simplest (and least expensive) approach is to use a flexible liner made of synthetic rubber or PVC.
Simply dig the hole, place in the liner, and fill with water. The weight of the water will mold the liner to the shape of the hole. Line the hole first with any material that will protect the liner from protruding sharp stones of sticks. Special liner material can be purchased but old carpeting will do and so will newspapers laid a dozen or more sheets thick.
Outline the shape of your pond with a piece of thick rope or length of hose and begin digging. Leave a rim about 10 inches deep all around the edge of the pool. This creates a shelf on which the potted water plants will stand. Dig deeper in the center to give the toads and fish swimming room.
Size and depth
Larger is better than smaller because the more water you have in your pool, the less it will fluctuate in temperature, overheating in summer, icing up prematurely in winter. Broad-leafed plants like water lilies and floating water hyacinths also do much to keep summer temperatures down.
If you plan to cover winter fish, part of your pond must be at least two feet deep. In most areas of the US, this depth leaves enough unfrozen water for the fish to retreat to in winter. Having a pump circulating some of the water also helps keep some of the pond open and the water oxygenated in winter.

We all love that Christmas time of the year, when we get to watch fun movies with our families. There is a new movie that is going to premiere this December, called "Walking with Dinosaurs", that surely will make a great Christmas movie for everyone.
The story embraces many aspects of the prehistoric wild life and at the same time relationships and emotions shared between relatives, friends and enemies. In case you are familiar with dinosaurs and their types you must know that this movie will describe and show stories related to Pachyrhinosaurus, represented by the Patchi's family, who is the main character, his dad Bulldust, brother- Scowler and also his crush Juniper. We get to see a Gorgorosaurus, named Gorgon who is the bad guy of the movie and gives hard times to our main character. Besides dinosaurs, this movie shows other mammals, reptiles like the Pterosaurs, that were a group of flying creatures, used to dominate the skies in the Late Cretaceous Period. Also we meet an Alexomis bird, which has a symbolic relationship with Patchi and becomes a guide of our movie.
As you see, you will get to meet different creatures and seize the contrast between them, because dinosaurs were not all the same. The main pleasure for our eyes will be the 3D graphics of the Walking with Dinosaurs movie. It will make us feel like we are in the same place, at the same time with dinosaurs. Their world has never been closer to us, as it is now, with the premiere of this great film.

Our message to prospective students is clear — if you choose to attend UW-Eau Claire, you will become part of a campus where your academic and personal growth and success is our mission, where the student experience drives policy and decision making. If our students don't feel the support they need to reach their potential, we fail them.
A recent ranking is a good indicator that we're getting better at including all students in that level of support.
For the second consecutive year, LGTBQ+ students can look to UW-Eau Claire as the best college in the state for comprehensive support for their unique student journeys.
Best Colleges.com and Campus Pride have once again joined forces to rank colleges across the country and within each state, naming UW-Eau Claire as the Best College in the State of Wisconsin for LGBTQ students. BestColleges.com is a recognized national publisher of college rankings and other student resources, and Campus Pride is the country's leading nonprofit organization working to create more LGBTQ+-friendly learning environments at colleges and universities.
Christopher Jorgenson, director of the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center, looks to this latest ranking as an excellent sign that campus and policy are moving in the right direction, cautioning that much work remains to be done.
"Throughout my tenure as Gender & Sexuality Resource Center director, UW-Eau Claire has consistently supported the goal of ensuring our LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff feel represented and included. Rankings such as these do not serve as confirmation that we've reached some ultimate pinnacle of LGBTQ+ advocacy; rather, they are indications that we are on the right track," Jorgenson said.
Jorgenson sees this recognition as fuel to further the efforts of his office and all of campus in advocating for all LGBTQ+ people, especially those who are also people of color, people with disabilities (visible and invisible), who are immigrants, refugees or undocumented, and people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, ages and religions.
"It is my hope that, amidst a national political landscape saturated with white supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia and virulent anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, UW-Eau Claire will continue to engage in critical self-reflection, so as to realize its institutional commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion."
If you are interested in more information about the programming of the GSRC, contact Chris Jorgenson at email@example.com.
For more details about the work of the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center and recent recognition the office has received, and to hear from students on this topic, see the following previously published stories from 2018:

HeartFlow's Computed Fractional Flow Reserve (FFRCT) technology received de novo clearance for the evaluation of patients who show signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD). The technology combines noninvasive imaging and computational fluid dynamics technology to create detailed models of a patient's cardiovascular anatomy.
FFRCT is the first noninvasive imaging technology that shows the extent of a blockage and how it affects blood flow. It is intended for use in conjunction with a patient's other clinical data. Food and Drug Administration clearance comes after the HeartFlow NXT study was published last year in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The study showed that FFRCT was more specific than coronary CT angiography in identifying myocardial ischemia (79% vs. 34%) but less sensitive (86% vs. 94%).
Stimwave Technologies was cleared to market the world's first wireless microtechnology neuromodulation device for the relief of chronic back and leg pain. The small device — between 2 and 11 centimeters — can be implanted permanently in a patient's body with a standard needle. Currently marketed throughout Europe, the device will be commercially available in the United States this year.
Royal Philips' IQon Spectral CT imaging technology received 510(k) clearance. This first-of-its-kind technology delivers anatomical information and the ability to characterize structures based on their material content within a single scan.
Animas Vibe (Johnson & Johnson), a combination insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor, was approved for use for patients with Type 1 diabetes to monitor blood glucose levels without a finger stick. The device adjusts insulin delivery based on those data.
Animas Vibe is seen as a step toward the widespread availability of an artificial pancreas, which would deliver multiple hormones such as insulin and glucagon automatically and mimic the way the body maintains blood sugar levels.
A recent study published in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology found that an artificial pancreas is more effective than a patient-controlled insulin pump in treating Type 1 diabetes. The device should be available this month.
Masimo gained clearance for its wireless, wearable Radius-7 patient monitor. The device connects to Masimo's patient monitoring and connectivity platform that links a variety of devices regardless of company origin.
Radius-7 tracks patient oxygen saturation, pulse rate, and acoustic respiration rate, and can connect at the patient bedside via Bluetooth or at home through an upgrade for WiFi capability.
Cepheid received clearance to market its in vitro diagnostic test, Xpert Norovirus, for norovirus. The test can quickly identify and differentiate norovirus genogroups. Norovirus is the most common cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide and contributes to between 56,000 and 71,000 hospitalizations in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Covidien got 510(k) clearance for its Fortrex over-the-wire (OTW) percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter.
Dexcom's G4 Platinum Continuous Monitoring System is approved for marketing. The externally worn system has an internal sensor that continuously measures and displays glucose values in the fluid between the body's cells every five minutes. The system also reports trending information in real time for up to seven days, which is the life of each sensor.
Avantis Medical's colonoscopy imaging device, capable of showing a wide-angle image of more than 300 degrees during colorectal cancer screening procedures, received clearance. Dubbed the Third Eye Panoramic digital imaging device, the product is designed to be used with standard adult or pediatric colonoscopies.
Third Eye Panoramic's wide-angle views allow doctors to look for precancerous polyps tucked behind folds in the lining of the colon. Because the device can be attached to the outside tip of a colonoscope, it doesn't need to be removed for the insertion of other instruments during a procedure.
BrainScope's Ahead 100 device is now FDA-cleared to evaluate adult patients presenting with a potential mild traumatic brain injury sustained within the prior 24 hours. The wearable device provides an electroencephalogram that is analyzed to assess the structural condition of a patient's brain after head injury.
The first-line diagnostic device for potential brain injury is typically a CT scan. Ahead 100 is not intended to be used as a substitute for a CT scan but as an initial diagnostic tool.
Reprieve on UDI requirement
The FDA is granting labelers of certain types of implantable medical devices a temporary reprieve from its upcoming requirements that all medical device products be marked with a unique device identifier (UDI). A UDI is a means of identifying a medical device using a specific system and is intended to make the device safe.
The UDI system, says the FDA, will help to reduce medical errors and will allow the health care community and industry to review and assess adverse event reports more rapidly, identify problems relating to a particular device and allow for more effective corrective actions.
Originally mandated by the FDA Amendments Act of 2007, the rule calls for devices to be marked with a UDI system comprising two parts: a device identifier that corresponds with the type of device and its manufacturer, and a production identifier that states the lot, batch, serial number, expiration date, date of manufacture, and other relevant information.
Be wary of knee replacements
In two major studies published this year, researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University found that knee replacements should be judged appropriate only for patients with medically advanced arthritis.
This means not just severe pain but also impaired physical function, like an inability to climb stairs, get out of a chair, or walk without aid.
Based on research performed in Europe, the researchers also determined that surgical replacements were better suited for patients older than 65 because the implanted materials wear out after a couple of decades and might need replacing if inserted into younger patients.
Morcellator warning
The FDA is taking immediate steps to reduce the risk of spreading unsuspected cancer in women being treated for uterine fibroids. In an updated safety communication, originally issued in April, the FDA warns against using laparoscopic power morcellators in removing the uterus or uterine fibroids.
The agency's Immediately in Effect (IIE) guidance recommends that manufacturers of laparoscopic power morcellators include boxed warnings in their product labeling along with two contraindications. The IIE guidance applies to currently marketed and new laparoscopic power morcellators for general and specific gynecological indications.
Hospital takes the initiative
Chino Valley Medical Center in Pleasanton, Calif., is the first hospital to require the use of the Leaf Patient Monitoring System to prevent pressure ulcers in its patient safety protocols.
The northern California teaching hospital requires the use of adhesive, wireless sensors from Leaf Healthcare to ensure that at-risk patients are turned frequently enough by hospital staff to prevent the common problem of bedsores.
The technology will be required for each patient who scores 18 or lower on the Braden Scale for predicting pressure ulcer risk. Clinical trials have shown that Leaf's wearable patient sensor can help to prevent the occurrence of pressure ulcers.
One study presented at the American Nurses Credentialing Center National Magnet Conference showed that using the device increased compliance with hospital protocols from a baseline of 64% at the start of the trial to 98% after the monitoring system was deployed. The device is FDA-cleared for sale.

DoG Ep 12: Ian McDiarmid at Fan Expo 2013
00:00 Episode ID
Days of Geek, Episode 12: From Fan Expo 2013, the Dark Lord of the Sith, all hail Emperor Palpatine, umm, Ian McDiarmid.
00:08 Music
"Split In Synapse", courtesy of Kevin McCleod at incompetch.com.
I mention that it's been a pretty geeky summer so far, and Fan Expo is still to come.
"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it."
Ian McDiarmid has had a tremendous career on stage and screen. His film work might work around his stage career, but he's always a pleasure to see in something. Probably the best acting in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
The Q&A itself.
47:58 News
Fan Expo is looking a little rough this year. I briefly talk about the so far disappointing schedule and blatant money grab. My hopes for things appear to be a little tarnished at this point, but I'm still looking forward to going because I love taking my family to conventions.
Because of the lack of his own Q&A and the fact that he's only on stage for a premium event I haven't decided I want to pay extra for, Patrick Stewart may not be on my must see list this con, which is probably my biggest source of disappointment at the moment.
Scheduling conflicts are going to limit a couple of other things, too. I've got some hard choices to make.

The word is that the deal is worth millions, and entrance will be invitation only. Insiders have also claimed that Jay-Z's singer wife Beyoncé Knowles is planning to play a separate concert in the US city on December 31 so she can be near her husband.
"Organizers have spent millions securing the acts. The word is that Beyoncé is now looking for a Vegas New Year's gig so she will be in town with Jay," a source told the New York Post.
The concert is the brainchild of event planner to the stars Colin Cowie, and will feature separate performances by Jay-Z and Chris Martin's band Coldplay before they appear on stage together.
Chris first collaborated with Jay-Z in 2006 on the rap star's album Kingdom Come, and they also played tour dates together in the UK last year.

Expert Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
Because you are what you eat - as was eloquently unpacked in Ayurveda. And the truth of the matter is that most Indians, regardless of their income levels, do not consume enough fruits, vegetables and beneficial herbs and spices in their daily lives - and therefore do not receive the nutrients, vitamin, minerals, amino acids and enzymes they require. This deficiency can lead to all sorts of health issues including fatigue, weight issues and chronic illnesses. Adding nutrient rich superfoods to your daily diet can significantly boost your overall health and wellness.
While this depends on each individual, people usually start noticing tangible changes and can start to feel the difference clearly after 2 months of continued usage, at the recommended daily serving. The reason for this is that you are not simply managing symptoms by including superfoods in your life - rather, you are addressing the root cause of diseases and illnesses by bringing about long term changes in your body. We would love to hear about the benefits you have experienced and the changes you have felt! Leave a review under the product you purchased, or contact us directly!

Kenwood's Donte Mayberry ready to be workhorse
Rushing for more than 1,300 yards in a high school football season will get you noticed.
Kenwood's Donte Mayberry might not have received much attention at the start of the 2017 season as his team came off back-to-back years during which former Knights star Antwuan Branch ran roughshod over the competition, but Mayberry was well known when the 2017 season ended.
He ran for 1,369 yards, second-most among backs in Clarksville, and he'll enter the 2018 season as the focal point of second-year coach Robert Gillard's offense.
The Leaf-Chronicle caught up with Mayberry after his team's 7-on-7 tournament game against Murray (Ky.) on Tuesday at Austin Peay.
It's obvious you've bulked up during the offseason. Was this, in part, to prepare you for the workload you'll see in 2018?
I think so. I know I'm going to carry the ball a lot more probably, and I want to be ready. I've tried to keep all of that in mind during my conditioning program this past spring and this summer.
Antwuan Branch was that kind of workhorse for (former Kenwood coach) Brian Beaubien's teams. Do you expect to get the ball 25-30 times a game?
I don't know how much it'll be, but I know it'll be a lot. My goal is to try to get to 2,000 yards this year.
What does Kenwood need to do to accomplish that goal?
We have to move the ball. We have to keep our offense on the field. You can call it ball control, but it's really just getting first downs and executing. If we're doing that, the yards will come, and if we're scoring, we're winning games and that's really what is important.
Putting up the numbers you did last year (including 13 rushing TDs), how realistic is it that you can do that again?
It can be done. But it's more than just me. We all have to be dedicated to winning football games. The O-line has to block; the QB has to do his thing; the wide receivers and me. It's all of us.
Fred Orr led the city in rushing last year (with 1,420 yards at Rossview). Is there a bit of a rivalry going on between you two?
We were just talking on Instagram the other day about which one of us will end the season with the most rushing yards. He's a great player and he's on a great team (Northeast). So we'll see what happens.
But Fred has another 1,000-yard rusher in the backfield with him (in Tyrique Freeman). Does that give you a slight advantage?
(Laughing) I hope so.

Yesterday, January 27th, 2020, a day which will hopefully not live in infamy, I released the 17th book of the Exodus: Empires at War main series. I can be found here on Amazon.US, and here on Amazon.UK. And of course it can be found on Amazon sites around the world. This book took a little longer than my last, which was finished in less than a month. Just over two months is still better than the five it took for book 15. If you have read the last two books, you know that something has changed for the Ca'cadasan empire. The immature Emperor who thought with his glands is no longer in charge, and the thinking admiral, Mrastaran, is in his place. And everything has changed. The Caca fleet is no longer tasked with impossible mission that were leading to their destruction. They are into hit and run, using tactics from Earth's past and new technologies to set up ambushes in furthering their new objectives.
This sets up a new story arc that will continue into several more books, setting up the finale' for the series. Or maybe not. Things change when I am writing, and the Cacas may be around longer than I figured.
And now for the excerpt:
"I don't see what all the fuss is about this new Emperor," said Grand Fleet Admiral Gabriel Len Lenkowski. "So he's smarter than the average Caca. That isn't saying much."
Admiral Lenkowski," said the Countess Grand Fleet Admiral Beata Bednarczyk, attending the conference from over nine thousand light years away, in the Nation of New Earth. "I have the utmost respect for you. So please take this the right way when I say that you are letting your own arrogance get in the way of a thoughtful approach to the problem."
Sean smiled. Beata had a reputation of saying what she meant, no matter how much it hurt the feelings of the one she was talking too. She was actually developing some diplomatic acumen. She was developing the diplomacy to fit in with her elevation to Countess.
"They're all dumb as rocks," continued Len. "Sure, they sometimes get lucky, but they always seem to make the same mistakes, over and over."
"This one is different," said Beata. "He actually thinks before he acts. I counsel caution where he is concerned."
Sean could tell from her expression that she was trying to hold back some comments. He happened to agree with her as far as this new Emperor was concerned. After studying the battle extensively, he could see that any human commander would have had trouble dealing with him. His respect for Bednarczyk had gone up several notches after going over her records from the battles. He still wasn't sure if she was on the level of Lenkowski or Mgonda, but she was damned close.
"A secondary campaign on a secondary front," scoffed Len, his eyes boring into the image of Bednarczyk. "I'm sure he won't give an experienced fleet commander the same level of difficulty."
Here it comes, thought Sean, preparing himself for the backlash.
"Why you trumped up, arrogant little child," said Beata in a low voice. "How dare you. I doubt if you would have done any better against Mrastaran. In fact, I know it."
"Why, you…"
"Enough," yelled Sean, looking from holographic face to face, taking in the smiling visage of Mgonda and the scowling expression of Sondra McCullom as well. "I don't expect that all of my admirals will like each other. I do expect that they will get along and work with each other. So, there will be no personal insults in these conferences. Understood?"
"Yes, your Majesty," said Beata, looking down. "And I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
Len was silent, like he was refusing to admit to any wrong.
"Do you understand me, Grand Fleet Admiral Lenkowski? Answer me."
"I understand, your Majesty. And I will work on my, arrogance."
Sean could tell that Len was still steaming. Well, he would just have to get used to it. Beata, by her actions and through her leadership, had joined the ranks of his senior commanders. If they didn't want to welcome her into their exclusive club that was their prerogative. But, as he said, they would have to work with her. Even if she was on the other side of their enemy's empire.
In fact, Beata was now the most decorated of his admirals, having earned not only the Imperial Medal of Heroism, but the President's Medal of Honor from New Earth. Add to that her patent of nobility, and the only thing she lacked over the other grand fleet admirals was time in service.
"And so, Admiral Bednarczyk, what can you tell us about this new Emperor, the male you have faced in battle twice?" asked Mgonda, himself seeming much more welcoming of another opinion than Len.
"Well, one thing I can say," said Beata after releasing a calming breath. "Don't expect the normal Caca behavior from him. He thinks before he acts, and his decisions seem to be sound. He won't sacrifice his ships or his people without good cause, though he will if he thinks it will give him an advantage."
"You beat him, twice," said Len, his tone indicating that he was discounting the intelligence of that Caca admiral, one beat by a newly promoted six star.
"And I almost lost my ass to him, twice," said Beata, puffing up in anger once again. "I had so many tech advantages over him both times that a standard Caca admiral would have lost, badly. I only beat the Caca fleet so badly because the male that took over on his recall did something really stupid. Given time, Mrastaran would have pounded me until I had nothing left."
"I agree with Admiral Bednarczyk," said Ekaterina Sergiov, attending in person, sitting a chair close to the Emperor. "Our intelligence sources in their Empire, such as they are, have indicated that he is an unusual male. Most likely an atheist, he still adheres to the principles of their old religion. Said to be a philosopher, a thinker, he has managed to maneuver every male who has challenged him into an unwinnable situation. He studies history, including ours. Remember, the Cacas took whole libraries of book files from New Moscow. I expect he is going to make some decisions that the rest of his people won't like, but in the long run we won't like them either."
"Any chance he offends enough people that they take him down?" asked Sondra McCollum, leaning forward in her chair.
"I doubt it," answered Sergiov. "This is an intelligent and thoughtful male. He will only push as far as he thinks he can get away with it, then back off. He will let the people become accustomed to the changes he has made before he makes more of them. And he will make damned sure he is never alone with Cacas he doesn't trust, insuring that he has sufficient security to take care of any attempted coup."
"The bottom line, ladies and gentlemen," said Sean, looking over steepled fingers, "is to expect the unexpected. Be ready for anything. If that means moving more cautiously than is the norm for yourselves, then do so."
"That will give them more time to prepare, your Majesty," said Mgonda, one eyebrow raised to show his questioning of that suggestion.
"Then it takes more time to get to their capital," said Sean, nodding. "And we get there with more of our people alive. And just because he adheres to their old religion, don't discount the possibility of the Cacas setting off more novas, with or without Mrastaran's permission."
"Anything else, your Majesty?" asked Mgonda, clearly impatient to get back to organizing for the coming campaign.
"No. Get your organizations ready. We move in one week." Sean turned toward his newest countess and grand fleet admiral. "You had something you wanted to ask me, Countess."

In case you haven't heard me say it, I live in a very small community…far from the bright lights of a city. I'm talking about down-home-country where everyone drives a pickup with a bird dog or two in-the-back. The kind-of-country where you have only-one of most-everything like: one service station, one McDonald's, one Walmart, and one liquor store. Okay---you get the picture.
Every day---I provide bird food and sunflower seeds for all my-many birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. Feeding my large menagerie is a real treat since they've become so tame…they basically ignore me.
Early last summer, I also began serving dinner—every night--- to possums, raccoons, stray cats and dogs, even a few wolves. Most fascinating of all are the three white-tailed Deer who also join me for dinner about 8pm, night after night.
It was Sunday afternoon, shortly after 4:30pm, when I discovered I was "out" of deer corn. Recognizing that my Deer-Friends are always hungry and manage to eat every available kernel of corn...I had no choice but make a quick-trip to Walmart.
Pushing my basket toward the sports department, I moved at a fast pace. It's always important for me to get home before darkness surrounds me. Thankfully, there were very few people in the store that Sunday evening so I didn't have to waste time "dancing" around slow-moving people and multiple carts.
When a guy going in the opposite direction zoomed past me with an almost-empty basket…I only noticed him because he smiled. I smiled back, thinking he might be someone in the village I'd met some time, somewhere. I probably thought about our brief exchange for--at most--ten seconds. By the time I reached the back of the store, I was focused on the few bags of Deer Corn still on the shelf.
Pulling my cart close so I could maneuver the thirty pounds of Deer Corn off-the-shelf and–into-my-cart smoothly and quickly, I was just placing both hands on the heavy bag when suddenly I heard: "Wait, I'll help you with that bag but first….I need you to help me."
I turned and was immediately face to face with the guy who--a few minutes earlier--had smiled at me. He'd pushed his cart parallel to mine and was standing less than five feet away. What got my attention were his hands. Both of his hands were busy: One hand was holding his zipper open while the other hand was stroking his penis with speed and determination.
I grabbed the cart handle and started running toward several people I could see in the distance while…at the same time…I was screaming: "HELP ME! HELP ME! A SEX MANIAC IS EXPOSING HIMSELF!
I screamed as I ran and----I never looked back. It took only seconds for me to connect with the manager and sales people, all-running in my direction. Almost-instantly, the sex addict abandoned his cart and quickly disappeared. At the request of the store's manager and security team, I stayed in the store long enough to speak with the Sheriff once he arrived. I described my brief encounter with the sexually-charged pervert to the best of my ability but...with only "a smile and an erection" as evidence… law enforcement was at a real loss.
I'm still living in the country and Walmart continues to be my "one-stop" shopping place for basics like: groceries, paint brushes, underwear, toothpaste, pet supplies and deer corn, but absolutely-never….for sex.

Making Sense of the Alt-Right
New York: Columbia University Press, 2017
George Hawley is an amazingly productive young political scientist at the University of Alabama. By my count, Making Sense of the Alt-Right is his fifth book in four years. Last year, I reviewed his Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism, for which I had high praise, although I complained that he had not dealt with populism, which was the animating force Trump's ongoing rise to the White House.

The Young Man And His Friends
Mr. Donald K. Steele of Peterborough, Ontario, is an elder at Edmison Hts. Bible Chapel and president of Kawartha Lakes Bible School. He is employed as an audio-visual co-ordinator by the Peterborough County Board of Education.
This is our brother's fourth study in his series on "the Young Man."
Friendship is one of the most precious commodities on earth. Someone has well said that friendship is love in action. Nothing can warm the heart or lighten the day like sweet communion with a good friend. John Keats, in reflecting on the makings of human happiness and noble natures, said that "The Crown of these is made of love and friendship, and sits high upon the forehead of humanity." Certainly most, if not all people, need friends, and this provides the young man with both opportunity and great danger.
How To Get Friends.
It may be that somewhere there is a person who feels that he has no friends. This is a desperate condition, a most unhappy situation, yet I have noted that it is usually of the individual's own making. If this is your condition, then you must look to yourself and your conduct to determine why this has happened. I have met students who were isolated, without friends in their class or peer group, and invariably it has seemed to me that these friendless ones were unable or unwilling to act in such a manner as to attract the friendship of others. Proverbs 18:24 says, "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly," and there are skills involved in this, which primarily centre around a genuine interest in other people. Those who are friendless are usually so totally interested in themselves that they cannot entertain a genuine concern in the feelings, interests, and problems of others. The latter part of our verse in Proverbs tells us that "there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother," and while this indicates the wonderful warmth that is possible in human friendships of the David-Jonathan variety, surpassing even blood relationships, it is also often interpreted to indicate the close relationship between the believer and his Lord Jesus Christ. He really is the friend, above friends, who sticks by us through the good and the bad times. Of course, this verse also clearly points out that for the believer, it is impossible to be without a friend, since our Lord Jesus is always there, the dearest friend on earth or in heaven.
What Is Friendship?
Ranging from a social but fleeting acquaintance with a shop-clerk from whom we buy our paper, to a deeply intimate relationship which lasts for many years, friendship takes many forms and is most difficult to define. Theodore I. Rubins put it this way: "There are many different kinds of friendships. They can run the gamut from fleeting social contacts to a complex profound relationship in which each person gives deeply of himself or herself. Friendships can be based on mutual fun, need for emotional support, warmth and love; mutual interests in sports, money, intellectual pursuits and politics — as well as mutual hatred for a mutual enemy. Most friendships, however, involve facets of all these characteristics and more —especially business, marital, parental or professional friendships. To make and keep friends, it is important to realize that every friend has the freedom to end a friendship that is not healthy. Everyone needs to retain his individual identity and freedom in order to be proper friends, to others and to himself." Dr. Rubin touches on many aspects of friendship, but we note particularly that we must be friends with ourselves, and truly like ourselves, before we can be a good friend to anyone else. Strange though it may sound, you cannot love anyone else effectively if you do not love yourself. People who despise and loathe themselves are just as sick, just as much in need of treatment as those whose narcissistic and overweening love of self excludes all others. Scripture does teach us that love of self is basic, for in Ephesians 5:28 the husband's love of his wife is based on his love of himself.
What Are Good Friends?
Good friends are those who, through their kind words, prayers, and deeds of love, support us in our daily activities. This is the edifying action described in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do." There is a touching scene in Acts 17. The Apostle Paul has been brought to Athens by some friends. As they are about to depart, he "commands" to urge Silas and Timothy to come to him "with all speed" (v. 15). Evidently even so great a servant of God as the Apostle Paul felt a deep need to have his friends with him for support and encouragement. Curiously, though he preached even on Mars Hill, we read of no church being established in Athens before his departure, and his friends did not rejoin his company until Silas and Timothy caught up with him in Corinth (Acts 18:5). I see a danger here, and a warning for those who would seek to serve the Lord as "loners" keeping company with no man, or taking counsel from no other servant of the Lord. Inaccurate, even heretical ideas and doctrines will be much more easily detected if we discuss them carefully and thoroughly with others who are also dedicated to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What Are Bad Friends?
The Christian young man may find himself keeping the company of other young men who are not believers. Close friendship with those who are unsaved should only be permitted for one purpose: that of winning the unsaved to the Lord Jesus Christ. If we run with such a crowd, joining in their entertainments and pleasures, hiding our colours and effectively denying that we are different because we belong to Christ, then we are in the greatest danger of losing our testimony altogether. Such friendships have been the road to ruin for many young Christians. An innocent ball game or hockey game may lead on to attendance at the movies, then the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and chemical stimulants. There are so many dangers today in society that the young Christian man must be ever aware that friendship with the world is NOT compatible. This is the clear, even blunt teaching of James 4:4. Any young Christian, or older one, for that matter, in a crowd of the unsaved, is in danger of adapting to their standards and customs, and God gets quickly left out of the picture. To lead an unsaved friend to Christ, I would suggest that you separate him from the crowd, get him to come with you to some of your activities, introduce him to your Christian friends, and draw him with love and friendship gradually into a new circle, whose activities and interests centre around Christ and the church. This may take time, effort, prayer, and even assistance, but it is exceedingly worthwhile, for "he that winneth souls is wise" (Prov. 11:30b). Experience has proven as well that it is wise for young men to concentrate on winning other young men, while leaving the girls to be sought and won by dedicated Christian girls. Even Bible school graduates have had to learn that attempting to win the opposite sex through intimate friendship can literally shipwreck our own lives and testimonies, much to our own sorrow, and the grief of those around us.
Improving Your Friends.
In any friendship it is a human tendency for each to see the other's faults and to attempt to improve the other by pointing out to him ways in which he could improve (usually meaning, to become more like me). Opinions differ greatly on this issue. Robert Lyd says, "Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long." Another has said, "One of the best ways to lose a friend is to tell him something for his own good." In the opposite camp is Frank Clark, who says, "A valuable friend is one who'll tell you what you should be told, even if it offends you." An old Arab proverb says, "A friend is one who warns you," and in Proverbs 27:6 we read, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend …" From all of this, I would jump quickly into the latter camp, for I believe that the Christian has a duty to warn a friend who is going astray. Of course, it is critically important that it be done lovingly, from a pure heart, and with right motives, or we will seem to be hypocritical and insincere to the friend, and may effectively drive him further along the wrong pathway. Beware the all-too-human tendency to judge your friends by a different yardstick than you use to judge yourself.
A Word About Older Friends.
Most young people restrict their friendships and attention to those of their own age. In so doing they deprive themselves of the golden opportunity to get to know older men and women whose experiences with Christ along the road of life could enrich their lives immeasurably. Luis Palau tells of the incredible life-changing friendship he had, as a lad of seventeen, with a missionary who was eighty. The Apostle Paul took young men such as Titus and Timothy with him and taught them faithfully. I am convinced that in the church there are many older men and women who would welcome the opportunity to love, counsel, guide and advise a younger person, if the younger ones were only a little more open to such opportunities. You don't believe me? I challenge you to try it. Godly older men and women have already made most of the mistakes that you still have ahead of you, and their advice might just be worth listening to from time to time.
This brief article is not the last word on friendship, but I hope that I have challenged you to examine your friendships, and to consider the purpose of friendships. Above all, remember that he that winneth souls is wise.

Dear Single Girl, You are Complete
From the time you are born, your family members start to tell you how beautiful you are an how lucky the man that will marry you will be.
You do something wrong in their eyes, and they tell you how embarrassing you will be in your husband's house.
They teach you what to say, when to say, how to be and how to live so that you can be ready for your husband.
All of this ministries started by women who have mastered how to be a good wife, they have good intentions of equipping you too for your marriage, the one that you don't know when it is or who you will be married too.
All of this leaves you wondering that life doesn't start until you are a wife.
All of this makes you believe your sole purpose is to be a wife.
All of this makes you feel incomplete without marriage.
Dear single girl, you are a work in progress and even when you marry you will still be, life is just like that.
Dear single girl, you are whole, work towards healing and being whole alone.
Dear single girl, no one can complete you. The hole, the emptiness you feel doesn't disappear when you are married, there are a lot of married people who are lonely.
Dear single girl, you are complete. Made in the image of God, beautiful on His sight and enough to Him.
You are deeply, deeply loved by Him, and He gave up everything to come show you His love on earth.
You are loved.
Dear single girl, don't let the world's standard and how they judge a woman's value affect you, let not Valentine's day be a reminder of how incomplete your life is in the world's standard because you are complete.

Fighting for the return of this great river
Few people can give a clear and accurate answer to explain why the Kern is so often dry. This is because the river's history and current situation is complex and hard to understand. The truth doesn't have to be confusing - we've done the work of distilling down the facts, making it easy for anyone to understand the history of water rights on the Kern River and how they affect the river today. Click here to learn more.
The Kern River has sustained our valley for years. The water from the river sustains farming operations that have made Kern County a top agricultural producer in the nation. Our goal is to work in concert with growers and community members to create a local ecology that is healthy for farming, wildlife, and our citizens. Returning water to the river is not an either/or proposition. It is possible to run water through the river and provide needed water to industry, but we need local leaders to think creatively, work cooperatively and find new solutions to old problems. Join the movement by signing the petition now.
In recent years, dry rivers across California have been restored. This happened thanks to the determination and voices of local people. We need Kern County residents to speak on behalf of the river. Water flowing through the city will provide not only a healthier ecology, but also a healthier community. Every summer people die when they swim in the swift currents at Hart Park or in the Kern Canyon. Running water through the center of town provides a safe place for children and families to swim and play. People shouldn't have to risk their lives to cool down in the summertime, but it will take many voices speaking together to make this change come about. Click here to learn about upcoming Bring Back the Kern events and how to get involved.
Our mission is to restore a reliable flow of water to the 10 miles of Kern River that runs through Bakersfield. The riverbed is dry not just because of seasonal conditions, but rather from decades of business deals that have left the citizens of Bakersfield in the dust. We have three points of focus:
The State Water Resources Board needs to award all unappropriated waters of the Kern to the City of Bakersfield
Bakersfield should decide how to best use water that residents have owned since 1976, which it has been prevented from putting down the river for nearly 10 years
The Kern County Water Agency must do its part to restore the river, as was agreed upon when KCWA applied for Prop 13 funds in 2000. They received money for water infrastructure improvements but never used the infrastructure to restore the river
"Everything that is done in the world is done by hope"
Martin Luther
Bring Back the Kern is a group of Bakersfield residents united by both their love of community and the Kern River. This all-volunteer organization includes people from all walks of life. Some have spent years advocating for ecological issues, while for others this is their first experience with a community project. While our backgrounds may differ, our goal is shared: to improve the ecological and physical health of Bakersfield by running a regular flow of water down the Kern River. If you have a deep connection with the Kern and would like to be a part of our team, please reach out to us today.
