Vulcan Park Maintenance
In 2019 a tree renovation programme was introduced to ensure the health of the trees is maintained and any decayed trees removed. Replacement trees will be planted in the winter months. This programme is ongoing.
As the Council wishes to reduce the use of herbicides to the minimum whilst still maintaining the shrub borders and flower beds alternative methods of weed suppressant are being used with the use of recycled wood chip on shrub/ rose borders and leaf mould in the future for flower beds. The use of groundcover plants in borders is also going to be looked at.
After our border trial the people of Workington favoured style was a mixed border planting of herbaceous perennials, grasses and shrubs, this will be phased in from the autumn of 2020.
After the success of our wild flora meadow it's proposed a later flowering meadow be sown in the Spring of 2020 (see events for future updates) near to the Fleet Street entrance.
Other proposed horticultural features to include:
Grass labyrinth
A memorial walkway of shrubs and herbaceous plants
A winter border

Syd M Johnson maintains that we need to consider the ethical implications of growing human organs in pigs.
Earlier this month, Science published a report by researchers who had successfully inactivated porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) in pig kidney cells. Church and colleagues used the gene editing technique CRISPR Cas9 to edit 62 genes in the cells. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce virus-free transgenic pigs to grow organs for humans. The news media worldwide latched on to that aspect of the story, heralding the research as a major development towards using pigs to grow human organs to help meet the demand for transplantation.
To be clear, we are nowhere near being able to grow human organs in pigs, and the current research is at most a very small step towards this ethically questionable goal. The researchers removed PERV DNA, which is present in the genomes of all pigs, from PK15 porcine kidney cells, a cell line commonly used in research. They then cloned the modified kidney cells, and combined them in a petri dish with HEK293 (an immortal cell line of human embryonic kidney cells) to see if PERV infection of the human cells occurred. PERV was not detected in the human cells, leading the researchers to conclude that they had achieved a significant reduction of infectivity. Importantly, this work was entirely limited to lab-grown cultures of kidney cells. It is impossible to conclude that the technique would actually eliminate PERV transmission in living creatures, since the viral DNA is buried in the entire genome of pigs.

This ebook provides HR teams with a framework for building a feedback culture, while also sharing guides & scripts for both managers and employees.
If you're thinking of downloading this ebook, it۪'s likely you know how important feedback is to the health of your company. You probably also know that managers and employees a like don't like to give feedback. And you know why: it can be awkward and uncomfortable, and balancing being direct with being positive feels like a tightrope act. Most people would rather just not do it.
But the alternative to not giving feedback are employees and managers who end up feeling unhappy, unsupported, and unmotivated. While the initial discomfort of giving and receiving feedback can be uncomfortable for some, it's far better than having a high performing employee get so frustrated they leave the company or letting low performing employee continue to perform below their potential, possibly to the point of being let go.
What's a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Such a lovely designReplyDelete
He he, muppet with googley eyes and a big nose indeed, that made me giggle.! Your pieces are lovely Sherri, totally original and very creative and as always technically perfect. Great job well done.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! The circles are wonderful!ReplyDelete
The colors are wonderful. Great designs!ReplyDelete
love the idea of a set that's coordinating rather than matchy matchy :-)ReplyDelete
Really stunning and spectacular!
jean yates
I love that you repeated the circle element from the focal, it's such a cohesive piece. The bracelet is just the perfect companion too. Great job!ReplyDelete
Love how you worked with the circles. Really different !ReplyDelete
Very nice work!ReplyDelete
Wow, I am totally impressed. I have admired your micro-macrame work for some time and now I find you are a seed beader too. And you sketch! I love what you did and you were right about that clasp. It is perfect on that bracelet and now you have a set. Great job!ReplyDelete
Oh my. What great beadwork. Love the circles with the focal.ReplyDelete
You did a terrific job with this - I'm blown away by that much work! You probably don't want to see another circle for awhile. Beautiful workmanship too!
WOWZERS this is stunning! Blown away with you creative and talent! LOVE IT!ReplyDelete
Love those bright blues. Very creative using the clasp as the bracelet focal. And the necklace is very cool!!ReplyDelete
Okay. . .I never laughed. My sketches usually look worse and are something only I can decipher. So, no worries there!
This turned out so cool!! I particularly love the bracelet. I know. . .you just made it because you HAD to, but really it's so pretty as well.
I sketch my stuff out just like that. You can laugh at mine if you want. You did a great job at having your design match and compliment the style of the beads. The soup you got was really striking and so is your design.ReplyDelete
You've done this beautiful justice- lovely pieces!ReplyDelete
You're hilarious! And I think moving the clasp to a bracelet was a terrific idea! I love what you made -- very creative!ReplyDelete
Your work is amazing. Well done! I love, love, love what you done.ReplyDelete
Wow, this is amazing work. Love the blue/black/white graphic look of everything!ReplyDelete
Beautifully planned and executed!ReplyDelete
WOW -- your necklace and bracelet are stunning! I just love the clasp on the bracelet and the color combination really pops. Well done!!ReplyDelete
Hahahaha! i am not laughing T you...I am laughing at your post! :). Seriously...that necklace is gorgeous, love that blue! The bracelet is show stopper that I would wear every chance I could! Beautiful job!ReplyDelete

WoW! A lot to look at and take in...fabulous work! Those rounds are amazing, and the focal is stunning!ReplyDelete
hahaha! Muppet googly eyes. Awesome. Glad Rose came to the rescue for you :-) I adore what you did and the rearrangement. The bracelet being simple was a good decision for sure. Too much can be...too much.
Thanks for stopping by to see my bead soup reveal yesterday, much appreciated :-)
The comment from Ethan? That was me. haha!ReplyDelete
Wow, very bold creation for a very bold focal. Seriously, that bead soup would have had me stumped.ReplyDelete
It did have me stumped for a while. The colors, the focal, the clasp - everything is so "strong" that I spent quite a while trying to figure out how to soften it up. I finally decided to go the old "if you can't be 'em, join 'em" route & go over the top BOLD:)Delete
I just love the bracelet. Very vibrant and really highlights the clasp.ReplyDelete
Beautiful beading! Lovely bracelet!ReplyDelete
Bravo! I love how you made components that were equally vibrant as the focal, but complemented it rather than competing with it. And I always love seeing someone using seeds in a swap. Hooray for you!!ReplyDelete
Love this!! very bold and vibrant and matching!!ReplyDelete
Hi Sherri,
Wow I love your necklace and bracelet. You were write to use the clasp in a separate piece now both pieces shine. Wonderful job.
Ooops I meant right not write!
Such fun pieces but still quite sophisticated due to the color palette.ReplyDelete
Wow! Lots of work with all those little beads! They turned out great!ReplyDelete
Beautiful work - love that bracelet!ReplyDelete
Fantastic! And even though the necklace and the bracelet have completely different styles, they work together really well!ReplyDelete
Lovely designs!ReplyDelete
Amazing piece! Your components look wonderful with the focal bead.ReplyDelete
I was also expecting macrame but wow, look at what you created...awesome!! Beautiful designs!ReplyDelete
Wow...Beautiful design..! What a lovely beadwork..! :)ReplyDelete
Your necklace & bracelet are jaw droppers. How stunning. I love bead embroidery & you did it very,very well.ReplyDelete
Wow such bold colors, but excellent design. Hey, I can't draw either but sometimes it just has to come out on paper. Love how you mixed up the colors for the circles to draw the eyes in...great jobReplyDelete
Loved your blog, and I am similarly sketch-challenged. You know those people who say ANYone can draw? They lied.
BUT I love, love your googley eyes!! That is, no, not YOUR googley eyes...the ones you stitched!!
I totally think you did the right thing by reversing them though...you would never have been able to look at that necklace without seeing Grover.
Now, it looks great!
But my favorite of all is your focal bracelet; should you feel that you might pass in the night, please will me that one first!
stunning necklace, I love it!! many compliments for the elements you made, they are just perfect!
ciao dall'Italia
wow, amazing work!ReplyDelete
I am really in awe of your designs! It is so neat to see your creative process through you sketch and as you worked through the necklace...the beaded circles are incredible! I wonder how long it must have taken just to create one? And your bracelet is really amazing as well - bold and beautiful & such a creative use of all of your components! :-)ReplyDelete
you have done really great with the components of your bead soup!!! Wonderful work!ReplyDelete
Super cool!ReplyDelete
wonderful creation! you did a great job with your soup!

DC Mosquito Squad is driven to protect you and your family from annoying and potentially harmful pests. While doing so we focus on providing the safest and most effective treatments to ensure your family's health and well being is priority.
As we head into the beginning of this year's mosquito season, it's time to consider your options in controlling unwanted insects from harming your family and pets. We offer several effective options which will reduce the number of mosquitoes in your property for 2 to 3 weeks after each treatment and give you the peace of mind that you are helping to protect your family from bites and diseases.
Mosquito Squad Standard Barrier Treatment
Our barrier treatment achieves maximum coverage around your property for up to 3 weeks. When applied, there is a slight residue that sticks to the underside of foliage on plants and grass. This residue is not noticeable to the human eye. When mosquitos graze on the foliage, they are killed, reducing the population instantly. Our standard treatment is applied every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the package purchased. Free as-needed re-treatments are included in our seasonal package.
Mosquito Squad Natural Treatment
Our natural mosquito treatment is ideal for those looking for an organic, non-synthetic solution. While this treatment does not kill insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, it does repel them through the powerful odor (powerful to them, you won't smell it). The control period is also shorter, and less effective than the standard treatment, but does reduce the insect population by during that time. Our natural treatment is applied every 2 weeks to maintain maximum effectiveness. Free as-needed re-treatments are included in our seasonal package.
Are synthetic insect sprays really safe for my family?
The solution we use in our mosquito treatment treatments contains pyrethroids, which is the synthetic version of an extract made from the chrysanthemum plant. While many consumers are wary of the use of synthetic insecticides around their family and pets, pyrethroids are considered a safe product that has very low toxicity. Pyrethroids are becoming more and more popular in gardening and farming products due to the low toxicity.
Pyrethroids are mixed with water during the application and applied at very low concentrations to control the tiniest insects. The residue left on plants and surfaces is miniscule, posing very little risk to the health of larger, beneficial insect species such as butterflies and pollinating bees.
Pyrethroids are toxic to fish and other aquatic life due to their slow metabolisms. We do not treat areas around ponds or other aquatic features to ensure the fish are not exposed.
Exposure to the treatment before it drys may affect those who are very sensitive to chemicals or those with existing respiratory conditions. However, if the solution has entered the system, the body eliminates it extremely quickly.
DC Mosquito Squad works to minimize any risk
While the solution used to treat your property poses very little risk to your health, we like to ensure we do everything possible to keep your family safe. During the misting we advise you and your pets remain indoors while our experts tend to your property, and for a period of 30 minutes after the treatment until the treatment has dried.
We also suggest you remove any children's and pet's toys from your property before we treat it to reduce any chance of exposure. If you happen to forget to bring in any toys, washing them in soap and water will remove any residual residue.
The Mosquito Squad of Greater Washington DC team are well educated and informed about safety and the solutions used within our products. Our mosquito control treatments are properly applied by experts posing very little risk to your family's or pet's health and the environment. By engaging DC Mosquito Squad this season to eliminate unwanted critters, you can be reassured we will put your family health and needs first.

In conjunction with the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past at the University of York, England's Immigrants 1330-1550 is building working relationships with three impact partners in order to make the project meaningful to non-academic audiences:
The National Archives (TNA)
The project's relationship with TNA is two-fold. The institution is supporting the data-collection phase with two of our researchers based there and enjoying full use of the facilities and liaison support from Dr Sean Cunningham. The project will also be working closely with the Education and Outreach Department, in particular looking at ways to develop materials for the National Curriculum Key Stage 3 theme on the impact on the UK of the movement of diverse peoples.
British Association for Local History (BALH)
The project is co-operating with the BALH in order to make the research as widely available to its members and associates, from academics to the general public.
The project will be working with the publisher of the magazine in order to publicise the project and its findings to as wide an audience as possible across a variety of media.
The project will be working with the HA in order to introduce the research to all ages in education and make it relevant to the National Curriculum's history and citizenship syllabi.

Wisconsin fishing: Draining livewells can stop invasive species | Manitowoc outdoors news
Fishing success is tied to healthy lakes, rivers and streams. Anglers can help keep our waters healthy and beautiful by stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) by draining their livewells, bait buckets and bilges every time they leave a boat launch or fishing access.
When we forget to drain, the water moved from one location to another can transport fish diseases and aquatic invasive species.
The statewide Drain Campaign, an annual reminder, will take place May 31-June 2 and will coincide with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Free Fishing Weekend, June 1-2.
Clean Boats, Clean Waters boat inspectors made up of volunteers, regional aquatic invasive species partners, and WDNR staff will talk with anglers and boaters at launches around the state.
At many lakes and river accesses, these inspectors will also hand out free ice packs and other Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers items while they remind people that icing is the best way to keep fish fresh.
"Ice is the preferred way to transport your catch," said Samantha Lammers, Glacierland RC&D's invasive species coordinator for Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties, adding that ice also helps to preserve flavor of your fish as well as stops bacterial growth on the trip home.
"Draining livewells, bait buckets, motors and bilges help keep diseases and invasive species, even ones we cannot see, from moving between our water bodies," Lammers added. "Other ways to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species include removing all vegetation from trailers and boats after a day on the water, allowing boats and other equipment to dry for five days, or using a form of decontamination like steam, or a 10% bleach solution."
Individuals who love to fish and are passionate about natural resource protection are the best messengers to spread the word to other anglers by modeling these prevention steps to those new to the sport as well as to others who don't know the law and reasons behind it.
Those who use social media can also spread the word about the importance of draining livewells and other equipment by posting photos and using #JustDrainIt.
The following steps are required by law to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species in Wisconsin:
- INSPECT boats, trailers and equipment for attached aquatic vegetation, animals or invertebrates.
- REMOVE all attached aquatic vegetation, animals or invertebrates.
- DRAIN all water from boats, vehicles and equipment, including livewells and any container that contains fish.
- NEVER MOVE vegetation or live fish away from any water body.
- DISPOSE of unwanted bait in the trash.
- BUY minnows from a Wisconsin bait dealer. Only use leftover minnows when either 1) fishing with them on the same water body or 2) on other waters if no lake/river water or other fish have been added to the container.

You may be wrong if you still believe that oral cancer is only caused by smoking, tobacco use, liquor and betel nut. Because a recent study in Taiwan says that air pollution too could lead to a high risk of oral cancer.
The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Medicine, has literally turned the tables on the conventional wisdom we still adhere to when it comes to the causes of oral cancer. Its findings are not what we have believed all along.
It says higher levels of air pollution may also be responsible for the cancer of the lips, tongue, cheeks, mouth and palate. Which means, the air around us is more harmful that we assume with risks more dangerous than only respiratory problems.
Before diving into the study, it's good to have a look at some numbers –
- As per the WHO, air pollution causes an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide per year
- It also says that, nearly half of around 6,57,000 patients of oral cancer who're diagnosed annually across the globe with die
Details of the study
The study clearly links higher levels of air pollution to a greater risk of oral cancer. And if it's to be believed, this calls for more safety measures on part of us in dealing with air pollutant. As per the study, apart from the conventional list of causes, oral cancer may also be caused by the heightened levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (but to a lesser extent).
We have reasons to believe the findings of the study because it has used a large sample size, and it's also the first in the world to link oral cancer with PM2.5. The findings may appear to some an attempt to create panic, but they are not an isolated case as there is a growing evidence linking the adverse effects of higher levels of air pollution on human health.
While it's widely known that PM2.5 is harmful to respiratory and cardiovascular health, our exposures to heavy metals and emissions from petrochemical plants can also lead to the development of the disease. When analysed in this light, we can easily see how air pollution can harm us more than we think.
Some of key things that can be corroborated form the study may include –
- There is no safe level of air pollution when it comes to our overall health
- High air pollution is more dangerous can causing a greater risk of the lungs, asthma and dementia
- The study has collected data from 66 air quality monitoring stations, analysed the health records of more than 4,80,000 men aged 40, and found a 11,617 cases of mouth cancer
- The study clearly establishes how people who're exposed to the highest levels of PM2.5 have a greater risk of oral cancer
- The study has also found that men exposed to higher level of air pollution are 43% more likely to develop oral cancer than those exposed to average level of pollution
- The study also observed exposure of men to higher ozone levels and found in them a greater risk of developing oral cancer
Clearly, air pollution is now a big menace, something we can't afford paying lip service to. The time has come when drastic measures needed from governments across the world to reduce emissions and curb carbon in the atmosphere. Only this can lead to a safer world where a quality life can be lived.

Tommy is now 18 months old. Does that make him officially a toddler or is he still allowed to be my baby? I see pictures of him from this time last year and cannot believe how much he's grown and changed in that short time. He is amazing, he is wonderful, he is my favorite little person in the world. He is wild and loud and rough and rambunctious. He is sweet and snuggly, feisty and funny!
I thought I'd do a little update like I used to do monthly just to have a record of all the Tommy-isms from this season of life. I know I'll be so glad I did this whenever Tommy has a sibling and I'm trying to remember what to expect for this fun and hilarious season. Plus I never want to forget how he squeezes his eyes closed tight when he's really happy, or how he twiddles his fingers and raises his fist above his head when he hears itsy bitsy spider.
Height: 32.2 inches (he's now more than half my height....)
Clothing size: 18-24 months, some 2T
Diaper size: 5 but only in Pampers Pure. Just a little PSA that not all diaper sizes are the same even in the same brand. I accidentally let myself run out of diapers (again) and had to quickly pick up the only pack available which was Pampers Baby Dry in size 5 and he woke up soaked through! And so I held one up next to the Pampers Pure and the Baby Dry was soooo much smaller even though they claim to be for the same weight range.
His skills with a spoon and fork are also really coming along which means I might get to just feed myself at mealtimes soon. He also has 8 teeth with 4 more big ones trying to work their way through. He can now climb up onto our kitchen chairs and loves to sit there like a big boy. Climbing in general is a favorite past-time and just one of the fun ways he keeps me on my toes.
He loves grabbing fistfuls of dog food and flinging them about wildly and then immediately sticking his thumb in his mouth. Blech! He is my little helper though and eagerly puts his shoes away on the steps when we come inside from a walk, or he will throw things away in the trash for me while I'm making dinner. Of course he also likes to take things out of the trash hence his nickname "trash panda." He is very interested in other little kids and he happily plays in the church nursery which is thrilling and means I get a little adult time during the week. He thinks Hunley is his best friend.... the feeling is not mutual but Hunley is mostly very patient with him. He loves long walks as long as he has snacks. And he stomps his feet excitedly and runs about when he sees his Daddy getting home from work. He is becoming much more opinionated and dare I say strong-willed. Just when I think he's going to drive me crazy and I'm looking at the clock for bed time, he comes in for a cuddle and melts my heart.

4th EUCERS/KAS Energy Talk // The Water-Energy Nexus in Central Asia: Climate Change and Security Risks
Continuing the regional focus of this year's Energy Talk Series, this talk looks at Central Asia. This panel discussion will examine the impacts of climate change on security in the region. Stretching from China in the East to the Caspian Sea in the West, the region is made up of the former Soviet republics, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. From disappearing glaciers to extreme weather events, climate change has many faces in Central Asia. This talk will look at the vulnerabilities in the region and examine how society and environment interact.
As transitional economies these countries are particularly susceptible to climate change for three principal reasons: First, the geography of the region. With a landscape dominated by temperate deserts over-irrigation, overgrazing, and desertification are serious issues. Second, the economic challenges facing the region. With economies heavily dependent on resources, there is a need for the region to diversify and implement a broader spectrum of market-based strategies. Finally, in the 25 years since gaining independence, the region has gone through socio-economic and political upheaval. Deeply embedded institutional weaknesses in each of these countries has meant that political and economic reform is often slow or stagnant.
With aridity on the rise, water is of key importance in Central Asia. In a region where water is scarce and populations growing, one of the greatest challenges will be to understand and solve the water-energy nexus. Water use is still stuck in the Soviet era, when Moscow had linked water management of the five countries. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region has not been able to agree on how to efficiently manage and/or share their water systems. In countries already overflowing with political and ethnic tensions, issues of security are firmly linked to climate change and water usage. This panel discussion will unpack these issues and help understand the current situation in Central Asia. It will look at the political and economic constraints, and how water-use patterns and water-storage facilities need to change in order to tackle the climate challenge in the region. It will also be a chance to assess direct and indirect threats to different sectors and communities, looking at how governments prioritise response measures for imminent security risks. Additionally, risks of climate change are non-linear. While a climate may change gradually, the risks associated can escalate rapidly. This talk is an opportunity to look at security risks associated with energy and water, as well as the adaptation and mitigation measures that are being considered to reduce risk, specifically what risks arise when complex human systems interact with climate change.

Short-term execution can be bumpy but the long-term vision should be sound.
For Akshay, growing a business is a lot like his favorite winter pastime. "In skiing, the first thing they teach you is to look at the slope far ahead of you and see obstacles well before you reach them," he says. "Venture is the same. Short-term execution can be bumpy but the long-term vision should be sound."
Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs during the IT boom of the late '90s, Akshay knew from a young age that he wanted to drive economic impact. Prior to Lightspeed he was a senior leader and a founding member of the corporate development team leading strategic investments & acquisitions for Flipkart, India's largest e-commerce marketplace with a registered customer base of over 100 million. Before that he co-founded the shopper engagement platform Whalelogix while pursuing his MBA from Wharton, and was also a consultant at Bain, where he was a founding team member of the Atlanta Private Equity Practice. He also spent time with the early-stage investment team at Accel Partners India.
A self-described data junkie (and, he says, likely the only Lightspeed partner who still knows how to code), Akshay keeps his eye on consumer research to stay ahead of the trends. He looks for founders who will seize opportunities, and markets, with passion. "I'm particularly excited about the next billion Internet users—predominantly from emerging markets like India, Southeast Asia, and Africa—who are coming online for the first time," he says. "I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for entrepreneurs to shape the user journey with technology, and a chance to reimagine their experience."

Photographers' cameras worked overtime from the moment Kim Kardashian walked on stage for her #BlogHer16 keynote until the end.
The clicks didn't appear to phase the reality TV star and businesswoman, who was in downtown Los Angeles for the annual conference that brings together bloggers and other influencers. She talked about her path to fame, beginning with "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which she pegged as one of her full-time jobs.
In a way, it's a dream realized for Kardashian, who told the crowd that at 13 her goal was to be a cast member of MTV's reality show "Real World," although she had a backup: "If that didn't pan out — the 'Real World' didn't pan out — then fashion is really what I wanted to get into," she said. "I thought that's really where I was going to be and that's what I was going to be doing."
Kardashian has also, in more recent years, gotten into tech with a bevy of different apps, including Kimoji and a lifestyle app where she shares glimpses into her life as well as beauty tips. Tech was something she happened upon the more she visited a friend who lived in San Francisco, rubbing shoulders with many in the industry. That's when she was approached by Glu Mobile Inc. chairman and chief executive officer Niccolo De Masi about making a game.
"It was right after I had my daughter and I was really evaluating my life," she said. "I felt like my brand was kind of all over the place. And I really wanted to take it back a little bit."
What resulted from her partnering with Glu was the 2014 release of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which has netted the company $157.88 million in revenue through March 31 and some 45 million downloads since its launch.
Even with all the apps, filming — either in front of or behind the camera — appears to be where Kardashian is most comfortable.
"I know reality shows don't get the respect that I believe they deserve and that's why I've loved being on one for so long," she said. "I'll always fight to be on as long as possible."
She's bringing one more reality show to viewers with a beauty blogger competition concept she's executive producing for Lifetime. The show is currently being cast and "should be happening really soon," according to Kardashian.
"I was on a phone call about it on the way here, adding another little prize to whoever wins, [trying to] figure out what can be really fun and exciting," she said.

Coyle and Cassidy High School celebrates 100 years of education in Taunton with mural
To commemorate the milestone of 100 years of education in Taunton, Coyle and Cassidy High School officially unveiled a special mural in front of a crowd of about 60 on Thursday.
The mural depicts the four institutions that are part of the Coyle and Cassidy tradition, and stars in the sky recognize the school's many donors and benefactors.
"Tonight is a celebration of everyone that's been committed to our 100 years of education and to ensuring that it goes into the future," said Dr. Mary Pat Tranter, President of Coyle and Cassidy High School.
Named the "Centennial Wall of Fame," the mural celebrates the history of Taunton's Catholic education that was started in 1911 by Monsignor James Coyle with St. Mary's High School.
According to Tranter, as the first school's student body grew, Bishop James Cassidy built a second Catholic high school for boys in 1933. The school was dedicated to Coyle and named Monsignor Coyle High School.
In the 1950s and 1960s, St. Mary's High School was quickly becoming outdated, and the need for a new high school for girls led to the construction of Bishop Cassidy High School in 1963 at the corner of Adams and Hamilton Streets — the location of the current school.
Then in 1971, the boys and girls high schools combined to form Coyle and Cassidy High School.
"It is a tremendous history that goes over 100 years," Tranter said, "and we are very proud of that mission to carry on a Catholic education to any child."
The mural was painted by Ryan Jones, a local tattoo artist and freelance painter. After touring the city of Taunton and discussing ideas with Tranter, he worked for about two weeks trying to convey the pair's vision onto the wall.
"We collaborated on making the history of the school the most important part of the painting," Jones said.
The mural was also personal for Jones, as he is a 2008 graduate of the school.
"I went here for four years," he said. "It's just great to come back and see the school and participate in something that will be here forever."
Jones has also painted murals for houses and businesses, and he will be painting a mural for DeAvila's Restaurant next summer, he said.
The ceremony on Thursday included a brief speech by Tranter about the history behind the mural, and Coyle and Cassidy Chaplain Father David Stopyra, OFM Conv., read a prayer and performed a blessing.

Hundreds of registered voters don't exist, Canton mayor says
Mayor calls for voter fraud investigation
Canton Mayor William Truly is calling for a federal investigation after he says he found hundreds of voters registered at addresses that do not exist.
A full list of voters shows eight voters from three different addresses on Berry Street where there is only a dirt path and no houses. Records also show 17 names registered at eight addresses on Cross Street where only two homes exist.
Anthony Denton said he received two additional voter registration cards at his home.
"These two pieces of paper that came to my home was two people who registered at my address but never lived at that address," Denton said. "No one in my family knows of them."
Truly called for an investigation just hours before a primary election that will determine if he keeps his seat.
The City Clerk's Office referred questions to Canton Democratic Party Chairman Robert Chinn, who said, "We're not responsible for publishing the books."
Chinn said the election commissioner was in charge of the issue.

You all must have used the Firefox once in your lifetime, and for some, it is their favorite browser to surf the internet. Good news for the fans, the company behind Firefox Browser, known as Mozilla, is releasing their VPN service. The Firefox Private Network standalone app will be available on Windows, Android, and Chromebooks. And soon you can use it on macOS, iOS, and Linux devices as well.
The VPN is not officially released yet; it's still in beta version. To sign up, you will need an invite; after receiving the invitation link, you can subscribe for the FPN account on your device. Unfortunately, it's not free like the Firefox Browser – to use this service, there is a subscription charge $4.99/month.
What's new in Firefox Private Network?
For the five dollars, it features WireGuard Protocol for better and more secure performance like the ExpressVPN. You can have access to 30 available locations with connection for 5 devices at the same time. In addition to that, it works with any browser and all apps on your Windows 10, Chrome OS, or Android Smartphones. Moreover, Mozilla promises not to spy on your search history or your network traffic.
How about Opera built-in VPN?
Opera offers browser based built-in VPN service, but they do not guarantee privacy or not to spying on your network traffic and browser history. Firefox VPN features the WireGuard Protocol which provides enhanced level of security. However, Opera VPN is free for everyone on any device but it's not available as standalone app.
On the other hand, FPN is a paid service which is currently available for US only. However, Mozilla aims to release it's VPN to more regions and on more platforms.
Is it a Good deal?
A VPN service charging $4.99 a month in a limited-time beta pricing with all these features looks like a bargain to me at this moment. The prices may rise when the VPN is fully released. However, if you're interested in this VPN service, sign-up for an invite to enter the waiting list.

This sex tips for women article contains two segments that will educate you on how to have better sex with your partner. One part will focus on the all–important art of giving pleasure; the other, on receiving it. The two go hand in hand, as a woman who knows and loves her own body and is comfortable with sex, is more adept at giving pleasure to someone else.
If you are sincerely interested in learning the secrets to a better sex life, then read on.
Pleasing Your Partner
Sex Tips For Women #1: Love His Johnson!
Better sex begins with mastering penis handling techniques. Handjobs and fellatio, aka, blowjobs, are very important weapons to have in our lovemaking arsenal, especially if you know what you are doing. With a hand job or blowjob, NEVER GRIP a man's penis too hard. The pressure should be easy, only increasing as he climaxes. It may vary, so ask your man what feels good to him. Be sure to use plenty of lubricant or spit and take special care to pay attention to the head of his penis – it is sensitive and needs as much love as the shaft. If you play with his balls during, this will drive him nuts – so to speak – but again, take a light approach. Licking also works as well as sucking, so alternate. Studying these basic sex tips for women goes a long way towards learning how to have better sex.
Sex Tips For Women #2: Get On Top
Men are visual and they love to be able to see you at different positions. Besides, the idea of you taking a dominant position during sex will excite the hell out of him. Men also love doggie style, as they can get a look at your ass as they penetrate you – it is also a submissive posture, which is sexually stimulating to your dominant partner and makes for better sex.
Sex Tips For Women #3: Talk Dirty Baby!
One key to better sex is learning bedroom language. Men love naughty talk because it is a direct contrast to the good girl image we portray. It's like he gets his angel and devil all rolled up into one. Throw in words that would otherwise make you blush like, dick, pussy, cunt, ass, and other crude or taboo words that women usually shy from. You may find this gives you quite a rush as well.
Sex Tips For Women #4: Be Open To New Ideas
If your lover wants you to try anal sex or dress up like Barbie, at least think about it. Being receptive to his ideas will lead both of you to a much better sex life in the end.
Female Sexual Mindset And Response
Most women are conditioned to think that only "dirty girls" like or enjoy sex. Because of this, we are afraid to admit that we actually like doing the deed. On the extreme end, some women will be turned off by the very idea of physical intimacy, hindering their interpersonal relationships and enjoyment of the act altogether.
Opening up to the idea that sex is for women too and can be tailored to fit your drive and temperament is number one on the list of how to have better sex.
Better Sex Tip #1: Relax
It isn't the Spanish Inquisition. The key to a better sex life is expanding your mind. Opening yourself up to rewarding, better sex can be a spiritual, beautiful, and fulfilling journey, if you let it.
Better Sex Tip #2: Control Your Own Orgasm
Yes, it helps if the guy is an amazing lover, but even Don Juan won't get your juices flowing if you're a frigid ride in bed. Part of the responsibility for your orgasm is on you. One way to control it is to be vocal, allowing your lover to know what pleases you – feel free to move around and adjust, so that each penetrative thrust hits the right spot.
Better Sex Tip #3: Realize Men Are Not Mind Readers
There are many women who fall into the trap of believing that if a man cares for her he will guess all her needs! Wrong. This thinking can cause a roadblock to a better sex life and frustrate your man. Tell him what you like or don't like. You won't hurt his feelings – he will actually find it exciting, especially if he sincerely wants to please you.
A better sex life is not a dream that is beyond reach. If you open your mind to the possibilities held within this very sex tips for women articles, you will not only find out how to have better sex, but may also realize some of your wildest, sensual dreams!
Turn Her On
How to turn her on Most guys don't need a ton of incentive to want sex. Women are more mental and it takes more to turn her on.
French Kissing
French kissing tips: When it comes to French kissing tips, it's all about a delicate combination of technique and being in the moment.

Remembering this day, 14 years ago, hearing about the Twin Towers and feeling it was so surreal, then watching the coverage here in the lunch room and having it become so real, the horror sinking in. Sin has seemed surreal, but He is graciously showing me how real and horrific it is. How it grieves Him and destroys others.
Another picture on the way in. As I was driving, I happened to see an apartment lit up, revealing a whole wall of books, I was thinking of how I've always loved books. When I would get my new text books for the term, I would fondle them, coddle them, put them on the shelf. I loved possessing the books, but not the knowledge they contained. It's much easier to be a book owner than it is to wrestle and fight and work for knowledge. I was also content to be a Christian (nominally). I was not so interested in knowing Christ and being his possession and doing the hard work of sanctification.

By Dr. Thomas LaGrelius
Contributing writer
Many people tell me they never get the flu. Therefore, they never bother getting immunized. These same people "never get" pneumonia. Good luck with that!
It's flu vaccine season again. There are two flu shots you can get. One is the standard shot for young people. The other is the double dose shot for those over age 65. We suggest you get one every year about this time because the virus changes every year and last year's shot probably won't protect you now.
Have you gotten your shot? If not please do so at your doctor's office or pharmacy. As long as you are not allergic to eggs, in which the vaccine is grown, or have had some rare, serious adverse reactions to flu vaccine, there is almost no reason not to and millions of reasons to do so.
Flu is common. Five to twenty percent of Americans get it each year. That's 16 to 64 million cases. Most have mildly debilitating, but not life threatening illness. However, last year we had about 700,000 cases so sick they were hospitalized. Flu kills 12,000 to 50.000 Americans each year. The vaccine will cut your risk of getting the flu, being hospitalized with the flu, or landing in the ICU with the flu (82% risk reduction on the latter). It's the ICU admitted patients, of any age, that are so sick they can die.
If you get your shot and you get the flu anyway, there is treatment with an antiviral drug that can stop it's progress or lessen its severity. Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is the drug, but it must be started very early, ideally within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. The symptoms, unlike a cold, are abrupt onset of fever, cough, body aches and profound exhaustion.
Seek care immediately to get a "rapid flu test" which should take ten minutes. Start Tamiflu on the spot if the diagnosis is likely. It works pretty well if started early. It usually does not work at all if you wait three days or more, so immediate access to care is the critical action. Ask your doctor how you can get that immediate access when needed.
Community Acquired Pneumonia
A related somewhat seasonal problem is Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), which is also often preventable. We have two excellent vaccines against CAP. One prevents 13 strains of pneumococcal pneumonia (Prevnar) and the other 23 strains (Pneumovax). If you are over 50 get both of them, first the Prevnar and six to twelve months later the Pneumovax. Boost the Pneumovax again after age 65. Most CAP illnesses are due to this Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria, but not all. Sadly we do not have vaccines to stop all of them.
Pneumonia is the fourth leading cause of death among those over 65, so take it seriously and get your shots. In the 1940s with the discovery of penicillin, it was thought that since antibiotics can kill these bacteria, we did not need to immunize against this terrible disease. Therefore, the first vaccines used in the early twentieth century were abandoned. Later it became clear that patients got so sick so fast with this infection that many died in a day or two and before they could get to care, or despite care. So, in 1977 pneumonia vaccines were reintroduced and have been improved step by step since. This has saved a lot of lives.
Case Study:
Years ago, a previously healthy man about fifty, I'll call him John, staggered into my office without an appointment. He had been ill with a cough and fever for only one day, but by the time he arrived he was in septic shock. His blood pressure was about 80/40 with a fast pulse and a high fever. An X-ray showed a pneumonia in a lower lobe which I could also easily hear with a stethoscope.
He was so sick we called a paramedic ambulance which arrived in minutes. My staff arranged a stat admission directly to the ICU by phone. I rode with this patient in the ambulance two blocks to the hospital and accompanied him directly to the ICU. There we got a blood culture which, as expected, grew Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria, and started him immediately on ceftriaxone, the best drug for such pneumonias.
He also was given additional antibiotics, IV fluids, oxygen, ventilation support, inhaled bronchodilators, steroids, expectorants and much more. Lung and infectious disease consultants were involved beginning in the first few hours. He was in the ICU for four days. No effort was spared.
He died.
I was devastated. He had a lovely wife and two young children. They were devastated.
Less than one hour had elapsed between the time he staggered into my office and he got his first dose of ceftriaxone, but in retrospect I think that was about an hour too long to wait.
Today I keep injectable ceftriaxone and blood culture bottles in the office. I have had many cases of acute Streptococcal pneumonia since. All have been started on antibiotics in the office immediately. So far, John was the only person in my practice with such a story. I hope my luck holds. I will never forget John.
Live long, be well. (And get your flu and pneumonia vaccines!)

just a perfect day.
This past Wednesday, Nina from the oh-so-sweet blog Naturally Nina posed a very simple yet thought-provoking question: What is your perfect day? I know this was supposed to be done two days ago, but I've been thinking about it in depth and wanted to dream up my perfect day. So here goes!
- Wake up to the pull of Ryan's arm around me while he nuzzles the back of my neck and slivers of that soft morning sunshine as it hits my face.
- Slip out of bed and take Rocco out for a quick walk.
- Get dressed for a 5-mile bike ride to our favorite breakfast diner Pinky's where we feast on copious amounts of Jamaican Me Crazy coffee and stuffed French toast topped with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
- Ride the 5-miles back to our apartment with a light breeze blowing.
- Shower and clean up. Get comfortable in pair of favorite jeans and a t-shirt. Play with Rocco while listening to Handsome Furs.
- Head to Mazzaro's Italian Market in St. Petersburg to browse their cheeses, wines, and hard meats.
- Lunch: mozzarella-tomato-basil-prosciutto panini. Dessert: hazelnut-pistachio gelato and a cappuccino.
- Head to a bookstore to catch up on trashy celebrity gossip, modern architecture, and healthy recipes. Pick up a newspaper.
- Go home for a lazy afternoon of doing the crossword puzzle together while listening to the Dirty Three on our record player, napping, playing with Rocco (again!) and having a glass of dolcetto.
- Meet with close friends for a meal with lots of laughter and wine.
- End the day with a warm bath, fresh cool sheets, loads and loads of kisses, and of course, Lou Reed's "Perfect Day".
