Decluttering expert Breda Stack, The Declutter Therapist of DeclutterTherapy.com, decluttering author and creator of The Declutter Academy professional training came up with the idea for National Declutter Day in 2011.
Spurred on by the lack of awareness around the countless benefits of decluttering in all areas of our lives as well as the limited understanding around the challenges that so many of us face with "letting go", Breda founded the event to champion "Declutter to feel good". Excited about the win-win philosophy of decluttering, Breda also wanted to highlight the many natural beneficiaries of the decluttering process such as charitable causes and our beautiful environment, all gaining from the redistribution of our unwanted items.
With people around Ireland and the rest of the world embracing the campaign each year (and some even decluttering for the first time in their lives!), Breda made the decision in 2015 to extend the event globally through International Declutter Day.
If you are privileged to be in a position where you have unwanted or unused items, your decluttering can really help. Although clearing out the clutter is predominantly associated with springtime or the start of the New Year, the event is held in September as a reminder to declutter any time of year so you can make a real difference in your own life and in the lives of others.
If we really want to enjoy life, it's essential that we can create a "happy and healthy" relationship with our material possessions and living spaces.
Sometimes we get caught in habits with our wardrobes and homes that are stressful or unhelpful, and although we recognise logically that they don't serve us, we can find it hard to break them. These may include completely avoiding decluttering, decluttering or organising non-stop, continually organising but not letting go of anything and shopping or gathering possessions to fill a void.
As human beings we can be complex, and we often fail to understand the many layers and levels of our behaviour. Our clothes and books might look nice when colour coordinated or ordered alphabetically, but this in itself doesn't bring fulfilment or peace of mind. So many of us feel frustrated or disappointed when we can't declutter or organise, and this just serves to weigh us down further and keep us stuck in a loop. We can be so hard on ourselves, but "forcing" or "pushing" decluttering simply doesn't work. There is a a better way.
We need to gently identify and work through the values, beliefs and conditioning that commonly keep us stuck as well any limiting emotions such as overwhelm, guilt, shame, regret and sadness so we can begin to declutter with confidence and ease. And this is where we can truly begin to open up to all that life has to offer.
"Everyone knows how to choose; few know how to let go. But it's only by letting go of each experience that you make room for the next. The skill of letting go can be learned, and once learned you will enjoy living much more spontaneously."
MINIMALISM vs. SENTIMENT
Despite the widespread promotion of minimalism, it's just one style of interior and it's not for everyone – we all have such different tastes and even "clutter thresholds". Nice items are lovely to have and sentiment, when mindful of the practicalities of physical space, is a positive thing – it's important to enjoy items that evoke special memories and associations. As we become more selective with sentimental possessions we become confident in the knowledge that positive feelings always outlast the physical items.
Although we're continually told that we need more, material objects don't guarantee happiness, and some of the richest people in the world admit to feeling poor. Having a relevant, streamlined, individual wardrobe and home has little to do with having lots of money or even shopping regularly. Less is always more when that less is well considered and with meaning.
- Mistaking your discomfort around clutter for the enemy. Many people go through life avoiding decluttering because of the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that it shakes up. Even though this discomfort is our biggest teacher as it shows us what we need to change, we often fail to overcome it, and so we never avail of the countless benefits decluttering.
- Letting your perfectionism keep you stuck. We are continually sold images of perfect houses and perfect lifestyles, but they really don't exist. We tend to think our homes or wardrobes are worse than they are and we often can't imagine ever getting things "just right", and this is really overwhelming and debilitating.
- Buying into sensationalism around clutter. There's a great lack of understanding and even insensitivity around the mental and emotional blocks that so many people face with decluttering. Misuse of terms and sensationalism around "hoarding" and other misconceptions cause much unnecessary guilt and shame and just result in further avoidance of decluttering.
- Not knowing the difference between clutter and disorganisation. Although the terms are used interchangeably, decluttering and organisation are two very different tasks, and many great organisers actually find it almost impossible to declutter. Without this distinction between the tasks it's difficult to make any real progress with decluttering.
- Not standing into your definition of clutter. Clutter is individual to all of us, and one man's trash is certainly another man's treasure. Those around us mean well, but if we go through life letting others determine what we keep or let go of we never create a wardrobe and home that serve or inspire us.
- Believing you can't change. Although we may think that we will never be able to declutter because it doesn't come naturally or it's "just not in our genes", decluttering is a skill that can indeed be learned. We can all change if the time is right, and people who really want to can move mountains, regardless of age or personal circumstances.
We can enjoy lasting freedom from physical clutter and disorganisation when we overcome any mental and emotional clutter that's holding us back and truly let go. This guarantees us long-term success and enables us to reap the countless benefits of decluttering in our homes, families, relationships, careers, finances and wellbeing.
If you are lucky enough to own many material possessions, it's vital that this doesn't negatively impact your life and that you can achieve balance in this area. You deserve to wake up to a wardrobe (or closet!) where each item fits and flatters you, reflects your signature style and makes you feel confident and inspired. Similarly, you deserve a home where every room or area represents your unique tastes and requirements and make you feel comfortable, relaxed and creative. You're in a really good place with your living space when you are happily shopping to reflect your tastes and requirements, enjoying, using and wearing everything you own and happy to let go of what is no longer loved, needed or fit for purpose and pass on with meaning.
We master decluttering when we understand that it's not so much about the stuff but everything about how we feel and we celebrate it as an empowering, selective and life-affirming process.

Take the Stress out of your Next Home Improvement Project
We all feel the need to get a million things done in a single day. It tends to feel like 24 hours in a day is just not enough. From work responsibilities to personal life tasks, there's a never ending to-do list that doesn't allow for much free time. And if you have kids — you can forget about free time completely!
While there are some solutions to reducing stress in your life — maybe yoga or reading a good book — we are going to introduce you to an idea that will certainly help out all of you stressed out homeowners: hire the professionals to tackle your projects around the home.
What do you need help with?
As a homeowner, it can be difficult to fully assess which projects around the home need professional assistance. We often think that we can do projects that we can't. Sometimes, time itself just doesn't allow it. Busy, stressful lives don't leave much room for big home improvement projects.
Here are some big projects that are always worthy of professional help:
Plumbing: A qualified plumbing repairman will ensure that all work is done properly the first time. You don't want to mess with plumbing if you aren't familiar with the ins and outs of plumbing. You could be setting yourself up for future disasters and financial troubles if you don't get a plumber repairman on site.
Electrical Work: Safety is one of the big concerns here. Have a certified and insured electrician complete your work. This will ensure the safety of yourself and your home.
HVAC: Heating and cooling issues are never good to put aside for later. If you have a busy and stressful life, you at least want your home to be comfortable! Get an HVAC repairman to evaluate your system to ensure that everything is running properly. In this summer heat, it is especially crucial to make sure your home is being properly cooled.
Roofing: Don't ignore any potential problems you may be having with your roof. Roof damage can lead to serious problems inside your home — like mold or water damage. Bring out a roof expert to make sure your roof is in good shape. Summer time thunderstorms can do some real damage if your roof is not ready for them.
Windows: Notice some warm drafts in your home this summer? Or maybe you noticed some leaks coming through your windows when it rains. Either way, it's important to keep those outside elements from creeping into your home. Aside from repairs on your current windows, the installation of energy efficient windows is also something to consider.

I'm getting ready to bottle my third brew.
#1 was Bombadil, a nice java stout. Tom Bombadil was a great magical character in Lord of the Rings that didn't really need to be there but certainly makes the books richer.
#2 was Advent Ale, an sort of spiced ale. Advent is a significant time of the year for me.
#3 is a nut brown ale. But I'm really not wanting to just call it "nut brown ale." B-o-r-i-n-g.
So would you help? There may be something in it for the winning contribution!

Southern Boating Magazine Feature: The 43rd Annual Stuart Boat Show

Probably because you're trying to select, as opposed to doingsomething else to it, such as copying to it or changing its format orchanging its value.
No idea of the "why", but you are correct.See alsomsdn.microsoft.com/.../xl\howSelectingandactivatingcells1_HV05204866.asp for Microsoft's words on thesubject.

I use multiple off camera flashes, with various colored gel filters, controlled by a series of normally open micro switches so I can create multiple colored smoke curls inside one another.
Intriguing Designs In Smoke: Ethereal Images Made Easy
I have always been fascinated by a photographer's ability to turn a common subject into a work of art. Being a photographer means seeing the artistic potential in the elements that surround us on a daily basis. I travel all over the world seeking out amazing things to shoot, but I also find them at home—in the kitchen, in my backyard or even in my office. It's always an exciting discovery to work with a subject to which I never gave a second thought, and then one day it turns into something that is visually arresting.
One of the subjects that falls into this category is the smoke from incense. When a stick of incense is burned, the smoke billows upward in a narrow column and then, when it meets an air current, it pulsates and contorts in very interesting ways, as you can see in (#1 and #2). I decided to photograph it one day and was rewarded with some wonderful images.
I wasn't sure which nearby store might carry incense, and instead of wasting my time looking for it I went online and found multiple outlets. For a few dollars, you can get all the incense you'll need—and more— for this technique.
At first I tried burning 2-3 sticks at one time (I figured if one was good, more would be better), but I quickly realized this was a mistake. All I had was a smoky mess devoid of a clean, graphic form. In other words, I didn't get the clearly defined column I wanted. Using only one stick of incense at a time worked much better.
I placed one stick of incense into a slender vase and set that on a plate to catch the ash as the stick burned. For the background, I used a piece of black velvet because this kind of fabric absorbs light very well. I didn't want a dark gray background that would be typical if you used black foam core or black cotton material. A rich black color provided the kind of contrast I wanted when shooting the white smoke.
For my light source I used a single, off-camera flash. I laid it on my desk about 18" from the incense and triggered it wirelessly with a Pocket Wizard (www.pocketwizard.com). I wanted the flash close enough to the smoke to provide enough light that would allow a small lens aperture. Smoke has depth, as you can see in (#3), and I felt it was important to make all of it sharp.
The form of the smoke changes every second that the incense burns. That's part of the fascination. Notice how important the black background was in making the form of the smoke so clearly visible. Also note how effective the side lighting was in helping to define the shape and the contours of the smoke.
In this kind of high contrast shot, I don't trust a meter no matter how sophisticated it is. Even though there are middle gray tones within the smoke, they are so fleeting that it is impossible to use them for an accurate reading. I simply used the LCD monitor on the back of the camera to tell me if the image was too light or too dark. I then altered the light output from the flash using the Flash Exposure Compensation feature. Another option would be to simply move the flash unit closer or farther from the smoke by a few inches to vary the exposure.
Once I had several intriguing images, I started thinking about what else I might do with the images of smoke. There is indeed a lot of potential in post-processing. The first thing I did was use Photoshop to alter the color. To do this, I made a duplicate layer (Command/Ctrl J) and then applied the Gradient tool to lay down a spectrum of color across the smoke. When the Gradient tool is selected, you can choose several spectra of colors in the tool bar (figure A). By running the cursor down the duplicate layer, the color palette you chose replaces the image. To make the gradient color mesh with the smoke, go to the Overlay Blend mode in the Layers palette (use the submenu that is labeled with the word "Normal"—pull that down and you'll see Overlay). Instantly the smoke has dazzling color (#4). Other programs allow you to play with color as well.
Going beyond that, I experimented with cutting and pasting other elements with the smoke. For example, in (#5) I mirrored the image and then added a costumed model from Venice, Italy. I used the Earth as a component in (#6). To abstract the smoke I used the Photoshop plug-in Flexify 2 made by Flaming Pear Software (http://flamingpear.com). Even without the colors and the composite work, Flexify 2 created amazing abstractions of the smoke, (#7 and #8). Use your own software program to see how you can alter the images and you'll find that you can create dozens of variations with one image.

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour – Morgan Matson
Title: Amy and Roger's Epic Detour
Author: Morgan Matson
Release Date: May 3, 2011
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Format: Paperback
Page Number: 344
Amy Curry is not looking forward to her summer. Her mother decided to move across the country and now it's Amy's responsibility to get their car from California to Connecticut. The only problem is, since her father died in a car accident, she isn't ready to get behind the wheel. Enter Roger. An old family friend, he also has to make the cross-country trip – and has plenty of baggage of his own. The road home may be unfamiliar – especially with their friendship venturing into uncharted territory – but together, Amy and Roger will figure out how to map their way.
3 out of 5 stars
Amy lives in California, but her mom recently moved to Connecticut with her brother for his rehab. Amy hasn't driven since her dad died and can't drive across the country by herself. Roger, a friend from Amy's childhood, comes along, per request of her mother, and they start their roadtrip. They immediately get off track and that's when the epic detour begins. They go to Yosemite and on the Lonliest Road in America. They sleep in sketchy motels and Wal-Mart parking lots. Roger is chasing after his ex-girlfriend because he thinks he's in love with her. Roger and Amy meet amazing people on their cross-country journey and eventually find the perfection in eachother. I liked this book, but I didn't love it. It isn't a new favorite, but it was a cute story. I really like roadtrip books and I like knowing all the places they're talking about. I enjoyed reading this, but I didn't enjoy the ending. It was kind of a depressing end to a happy book.
Amy is a good character, but she is really goody-goody at the beginning and then almost completely disregarding everything her mom says by the end. It was an unnaturally fast change. Roger is a cool character but I didn't like that the only reason he went was because he was chasing a girl. He was a nice gy by the end of the book, but I just can't get over that he was chasing his ex-girlfriend. It was really irritating, actually. I love that they knew the favorite drinks of one another, and I also loved that they had nicknames for eachother.
Who Would I Be?:
I think I would choose to be Amy. She's a little messed up, but she's a genuinely nice person. I don't approve of some of her choices, but I think she's a good character. My favorite thing about her is that she was good-two-shoes at the beginning, but by the end, she was a little more rebellious. Again though, the switch was kind of abrupt, but I still enjoyed her as a character.

Duns Players AGM 2014

Minutes of the Last AGM
The minutes were agreed
Matters Arising
There were no matters arising.
The Chair Persons report
Looking back at the past year, I see a year of changes, of new enterprises of expanding horizons and steps forward.
Within weeks of last year's AGM, members of Duns Players were taking to the hills. Far away from the snug comfort of the Volly Hall, we became ghosts and soldiers and storytellers, reliving the history of our Border predecessors performing outdoors as part of the 500th anniversary of the battle of Flodden.
However, it's never been a Players habit – at least in recent years – to only have one project on the go, and even as some of the performers tramped down from the Lammermuirs, their thoughts were already somewhere else: A seedy Real Estate office in 1970s America.
Glengarry, Glen Ross was in some ways the most challenging piece that we've ever staged. Certainly, it challenged those of us who performed it. It also challenged the audience and their expectations of what a Duns Players performance could be. I'll be honest, there were fears that we couldn't rise to that challenge but somehow, from somewhere deep in our psyches, we found those dark places and brought them out. And the audience that we did get, loved it. Glengarry, Glen Ross was a stand-out production and we can all be very proud of it.
Another regular feature of the Players' calendar has been the Armistice Day production. After two years of serious pieces, both with a Royal Air Force theme, this year we rang the changes with a comedy and the Army – sort of – staging an episode of Dad's Army within a wider 1940's cabaret themed evening. Perhaps next year, it should be the turn of the Royal Navy?
Riding high on the reception that we had for one superb piece of writing and an excellent production, we turned to another. Alan Bennett's Talking Heads had served us well on to previous occasions and, when we decided to once more step outside our comfort zone, it was the perfect vehicle to take on tour.
We played in village halls across Berwickshire, each night slightly different to the night before, but always to an enthusiastic reception. Performers and stage crew all learned a lot and I hope that going 'on tour' will be a feature of future years.
However, not everything went our way this year. Our spring production was slated to be Dinnerladies by Victoria Wood. Eager anticipation turned to bitter disappointment when it became clear that we would not be able to obtain the performing rights. Again, I hope that this is one that the Players will keep 'in the back pocket' for future consideration.
With Dinnerladies cleared from the table, our thoughts turned back to another classic that had already gone down a storm. Dad's Army must be one of the most popular creations from the BBC in the past 50 years, and we thought we'd have some of that. But one episode was too short. So why not team it with something from a more recent generation? The Vicar of Dibley had been hugely popular when placed the previous year with Steptoe and Son so it was an easy choice to bring it back. And once again, we played to full houses.
Traditions can set firm roots in a small community such as Duns and after three years of the Players putting on a production for the opening night of the Summer Festival, it was expected that this year would be just the same. However, we had a small problem. Our esteemed Life President, Mr. Bob Noble, had made it clear that the Tracy trilogy was enough and there would be no Tracy IV! But we had started our own tradition of using a local writer, so why not extend the idea and ask other budding authors to contribute a piece on the topic of the forthcoming referendum. Plans to take round the pubs of the town had to be scaled back – with hindsight perhaps that was a step too far – but the small audience who did get to see the final pieces had a real treat.
There was to be another small disappointment, production wise, before the end of this year. We had planned to put on the beautiful Brian Friel piece, Dancing at Lughnassa. Scripts were bought, rehearsals planned and auditions were underway when, once again, we discovered that the rights were not to be made available. Dissapointing, but we look forward to the replacement, Ladies Day, with much anticipation.
Finally, before turning away from productions, I'd just like to note that such was the level of activity this year that we were not able to have any evenings of readings. I think this slightly sad, as they were a way of bringing the society together in a social atmosphere without too much of the hard work that goes into our major productions. I hope the new committee will think about reinstating them.
There is one other area I feel it appropriate to mention. This year we have taken bold steps toward improving ourselves as performers. In this we have been greatly helped by a generous grant from the BBC; a grant to bring in professionals who will help us with the craft of being performers. This is a huge step forward and I hope everyone associated with the players will make the most of this opportunity.
Finally, you may have noticed that, with one minor exception, I haven't mentioned anyone by name. One of the best things about Duns Players is the willingness of virtually everyone to do as much as they can to make a production a success. Am-Dram is a hobby notorious for the prima-donna. Thankfully, Duns Players seems to have purged this unwelcome trait from our society. You are all stars and it has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with and represent you as your chair. Thank you.
The Treasurers Report
Peter presented the treasurers report and there were no questions.
He noted that we agreed we would donate 5% of our turnover (ticket and bar sales only) to Heart for Duns. This will need to be agreed at the first meeting.
John proposed that four members join the committee and it was agreed. Shirley Redpath, Dougal Affleck, John McEwen, Hannah Hay were duly elected.
Three members stood down.
Alex Watson, John Schofield, Helen Forsyth.
Peter was elected as Chair and it was unanimously agreed.
The secretary will be elected at the first meeting. The meeting date will be agreed but may be the second Tuesday of the month.
Comments from the President
Bob urged the chair to delegate tasks and committee members to share the roles. Bob also asked that Helen share the mailing list and suggested we had more newsletters. Bob felt despite the changes and challenges Duns Players are going to go on and do great things.
There was a vote of thanks for the outgoing chair and secretary
The next meeting of the committee will be on September 9th at 7.30pm in the Black Bull.

25 Jul They Prayed for Paint
Posted at 02:36h in Uncategorized 0 Comments
Pastor José's eyes were rimmed with red as we gathered at the front of his church. We had just finished painting his house, transforming a drab concrete building into a vibrant standout in his barrio.
"My family – we gather every morning to pray, and we have prayed for a year to have our house painted," he explained softly as the translator relayed his words.
I dropped my eyes to the dirt floor of the "Jesus is the Way to Heaven" Church. I have just repainted my entire house, and prayer was not part of the process. The money was in the bank, the desire was in my heart, and that's all there was to it. I wanted to, so I did.
The humble pastor went on to tell us how his family has prayed for paint, but God did not allow for it until now. "Many people in my country think pastors are becoming wealthy," he said. I wondered what they would think of American celebrity pastors as wealthy as our athletes.
He told us of how just that morning God revealed to him a lesson about protection. He said that God kept them from having the money to paint it themselves so that others would see the house after our team left and know that the money came from God, not their own greed.
The paint provided a beautiful lesson as well as a beautiful house.
We all bowed as José began to pray, the Spanish flowing from his mouth in the most heartfelt prayer I have heard. His words and the translator's overlapped, and though I missed some words, I did not miss the Spirit.
The sanctuary had no air conditioning and only dirt for a floor. There were no projectors showing catchy videos, no sound system blaring latest hits. No pens advertising fancy logos, no worship guides to fill in.
But make no mistake – it was worship.
I wiped away the tears that would not stop as I thought of how wrong I – we – have been. Pastor José prayed for a year for what we deem simple, and I give up after mere days on what is important.
As the prayer grew in intensity, the wind began to blow. The yellow plastic decorations that hung above our heads began to rustle, and I knew it was the Holy Spirit in our midst. I cannot explain what I felt as we gathered in that place, but I know that it is a place God has blessed.
Pastor José's church continues to grow, with people bypassing other houses of worship to attend there. Their previous location was destroyed by a drunk man wielding a machete, but the congregation now knows that God allowed its destruction for a purpose. Doesn't He always?
I did not want that moment to end, a moment when the Lord's glory came down and was palpable, but as all such moments in this life must, it did. We wiped away tears, hugged the gentle pastor, and assured him of our continued support.
Friday, we will leave this place, having painted some walls and played with some children. We will return to our state of the art church facility and our own luxurious homes. We will reenter our daily lives, demands returning and needs pressing.
But we will not forget. We will remember standing in the shadow of a volcano where the Spirit erupted, touching our hearts and reminding us of His love.

|Welcome Guest, Not a member yet? Register Sign In
|First Impression: My day working with CodeIgniter 4.
I spent most of today working with CodeIgniter 4 instead of CodeIgniter 3 for the first and thought sharing my first impression with the community would be a nice way to finish up.
Installation was a breeze and had no issues, I chose to clone from the GitHub repository (no particular reason for this choice other than it was the first method on the list). I already had the required PHP extensions installed.
LibCurl is required so I downloaded the source code and compiled, built and installed within a couple of minutes.
Configuration was again very simple and similar to CodeIgniter 3, it has to be said though all this easiness is thanks to the quality of the documentation the CodeIgniter development team provide. One very nice feature is the separation of the applications base code and the
publicly accessible document root, this is something I do as standard, but to see it used as the default configuration in something as popular as CodeIgniter is great progress for web security. I will never understand why anyone would put there admin folder or configuration files with passwords in the public web directory when there are simple ways to avoid it.
I have to be honest and say I found the changes in the layout a little frustrating to begin with and the odd little changes caught me out once or twice, for example the way the view method is used has changed from
PHP Code:
and now it is used as follows:
PHP Code:
echo view();
This seems simple but when you do something almost on autopilot for years you really have to stop and think. Other changes include the syntax of routes added and tiny little things like using a capital letter where you have never done before. but once you break habit the true genius of the new way starts to come to light. After working on version 4 for maybe 6 hours I switched back to version 3 and version 4 started to make so much sense.
Some of the more important changes involve security and the improvements are more than welcome. I can now handle things in the CodeIgniter application that previously are handled all over the servers configuration. One of the things that interested me the most has to be the Restful server implementation and handling I have not got round to exploring this yet but having a way of making secure and correctly configured RESTul API's is long overdue.
I personally can not wait for the production ready version 4. I had a great day and I really enjoyed using it and now I have had a taste I will explore more the next time I have some free time. I recommend having a day out experimenting with what will be the future of PHP framework.
I would love to read what you think if any of you have spent any real working with it.
Great write up! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It sounds like you & I had very similar transitions from 3 - I found myself nodded in remembrance at many of your observations.
Its not my first day but not far off it . i've returned to CI because my old framework looks like its getting neglected by the developers.
My thinking is , start re-learning CI4 now and by the time i've half a clue CI4 should be ready for production.
What i've done is set up apache virtual host (slackware) so i have a dir "andrew.com" at /srv/httpd/htdocs/andrew.com/
in there i've put a scss dir and gulpfile.js also installed bootstrap via npm (needs nodejs) when i run gulp it does concat ->css into css dir inside public .
So far i've got gulp working , font awesome and the basics of a view.Next to test bootstrap flexbox works , then i guess breakpoints On my last effort i had one page, no header nor footer and used file_get_contents() to read a html fragment and basically inject that into my one template page. Thats about it so far

With yet one more bowl-eligible choice than bowl spots, the unfortunate workforce is 6-6 Toledo, which as soon as sat at four-1 with the potential for eight or extra wins but spent the second half of the season among the worst teams in the Group of Five.

Another Boeing 787 Problem
Another 787 Dreamliner from Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) was forced to return to its point of origin last night after an mechanical indicator warning light came on. The Japan Airlines flight returned to Boston after circling to reduce its fuel load.
Japan Airlines owns seven of the Dreamliner planes and has suffered from a fuel leak problem, and one plane caught fire in Boston early this year before Boeing replaced the battery packs that forced a three-month grounding of the planes.
Just yesterday the United Kingdom's air safety board determined that a fire in a 787 parked at Heathrow was due to a battery that powers the plane's emergency locator transmitter. The agency urged owners of the planes to disable the transmitters, which are made by Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON), by removing the battery that provides power to the devices.
Boeing's shares are down nearly 2% in premarket trading this morning, at $105.60 in a 52-week range of $69.03 to $108.15.

DDEX makes heavy use of allowed-value sets (aka code lists). This is essential for automated processing of DDEX messages.
There are, however, circumstances where the DDEX-defined list of allowed values does not meet a particular business need. For such cases, DDEX allows to communicate user-defined values:
<tag Namespace="..." UserDefinedValue="MyValue">UserDefined</tag>
Namespace attribute needs to carry the DPID of the party controlling
Augmenting an allowed value
Sometimes a user wants to augment a DDEX-defined value with more specific information. The recommended approach is to include two tags with the appropriate values as follows;

John Pizzarelli has been plying his mellow voice and sweet 7-string guitar in the biz for 20-plus years now, but the still-youthful 42-year-old is becoming best known for a popular TV commercial he cut for Foxwoods Resort and Casino that features him singing "The Wonder of It All." "It's very interesting when you walk around New York and people are staring at you weird and you think, 'Oh, yeah, they've seen the commercial but they don't know it's me,'" Pizzarelli says.
The New York walks Pizzarelli likes best are taken around his Upper East Side neighborhood. For the past four years Pizzarelli, his vocalist-actress wife Jessica Molaskey and their 4-year-old daughter Madeleine have lived in a combined one bedroom and studio apartment in a six-floor, late-'30s edifice. "Some of the people are still in there from when the building was built," Pizzarelli says. "Everybody knows everybody so it's a nice building."
Pizzarelli's son, John the fourth, lives around the corner with the guitarist's first wife. "The thing I like about our neighborhood is that my son can scooter over to my house. We're right near parks. And there's a diner on the corner that we always go to for breakfast and they know who we are. It's really got that idyllic-when you walk down the street you're always waving at somebody you know."
It's a close-knit community, too. "Two weeks after September 11 we had a big benefit for our local firehouse, which lost 8 guys and everybody from the neighborhood did something. We brought the trio and my dad came and my wife, and we all played and sang, and my son was there selling T-shirts."
Pizzarelli's musical family also includes bassist brother Martin (who currently plays in John's trio with pianist Ray Kennedy) and his dad is 7-string maestro "Bucky" Pizzarelli-aka John the second. John the third, however, did not get a spiffy nickname like his pops: "No, and I think it was better that way," he laughs.
Keeping it all in the family, Molaskey just released her debut CD, Pentimento (PS Classics), a collection of '20s and '30s tunes that features Pizzarelli's trio and father-in-law Bucky. "I met her when we did [the Broadway show] Dream," John says of Jessica. "I loved the way she sang, and we had a lot in common. She was saying how Wrigley Field was like a church, and I was going "'Yeeeah, you're right. Wrigley Field is a chapel of baseball. Wanna go out to dinner?" Pizzarelli says, demonstrating the thicker side of his New Jersey accent with a laugh.
Despite being a New Yorker now, Pizzarelli is a Joisey kid at heart. "My parents live in New Jersey and they live across the street from the house we grew up in. I still maintain that one of these days I'm going to go and buy the house back that I grew up in."
For now, Pizzarelli is content to live in the City and its sometimes-cramped conditions. This budding Italian chef has a tiny kitchen, but he spends much of his free time there, especially after a long time on the road. "On the second day home I say, 'Well, today I'm just going to spend time in the kitchen and there'll be flour and tomatoes all over the place.'"
Pizzarelli's kids sometimes help him make pasta, but the one who assists him most is the Food Network's "Molto Mario" Batali. "For Christmas my wife got me on the show. We taped early in the morning; that night we went to his restaurant, Babbo, and he came out to the table and said, 'How ya doin'?' It was like meeting Zoot Sims; he was really cool."
Pizzarelli's latest CDs are The Rare Delight of You (Telarc) with George Shearing and Twogether (Victoria) with Bucky. A live CD, cut at Foxwoods as a promo item for casino patrons, should see wide release by the end of the year on Telarc.
The Personal Files
"I follow anything were there's movement," he says, before admitting he's a Knicks, Rangers, Giants and, err, Red Sox fan. "Over the years I've switched to the Red Sox [from the Yankees] but that's a long story. Last year I took my son up to Fenway on Patriot's Day; we flew up in the morning-it was a big credit-card day-and we had a lot of fun."
Brioni suits. "I wear their suits in concert. That came about through Dreams. They did the formal wear for one of the scenes-everyone wore Brioni tuxedos. I think they're great suits, plus they go good with the music."
"I'm not even a phile. We probably do most of our listening in the car. As a matter of fact, my last car ride I listened to side one of Frampton Comes Alive so it shows you where I'm at."
"I have a pretty good Gateway computer. The best thing I did when I bought it was I got a flat screen. Then I got a Gateway laptop, which I got last year for a tour I did."
"The last nonanimated movie I saw was Ordinary People," the busy father jokes.

World Emoji Day is Today. Here's How (And Why) to Celebrate
Whether you celebrate today with a happy face, a pair of raised hands, or a mere shrug, July 17 marks World Emoji Day.
World Emoji Day 2018 marks the fifth such celebration of emojis, which in less then two decades have gone from a marketing gimmick to a mode of communication that spans all languages.
According to emoji lore, emojis first appeared in Japan (where else?) in 1999, when a telecom company created 176 cartoon-like images for the text-based emoticons people had used on mobile devices to express basic emotions. They quickly caught on, as texting became a standard mode of communicating.
In 2009, emoji fans began translating Herman Melville's Moby Dick into emojis. By 2015, the Oxford Dictionaries had chosen an emoji for its word of the year ("face with tears of joy") and by 2017 most communication platforms employing emojis included a diversity pack to reflect different races and cultures that had adopted them.
World Emoji Day began in 2014 when users of Apple devices noticed that Apple's calendar apps showed July 17 as the date on the calendar on its icon. A tweet appeared in July 2014 announcing the day as the official World Emoji Day. It has grown ever since, with more celebrations around the world happening each year.
On last year's World Emoji Day, the Empire State Building was lit up in emoji yellow, and New York's Museum of Modern Art staged an emoji exhibit, including a showing of the original 176 emojis that started it all.
Companies are using the day to promote their own offerings this year. Apple began celebrating World Emoji Day a day early, unveiling 70 new emojis coming to its platform later this fall. They include more expressive faces such as a cold face and a pleading face; animals such peacocks, lobsters, and kangaroos; and food such as mango and cupcakes. Apple also swapped out executive photos for emoji characters on its corporate leadership page.
But not everyone loves Apple's use of emojis. Last week, people who tried to send texts with the Taiwan flag inside China on an iPhone found their devices crashing. A researcher discovered that iOS 11 code in China was blocking use of the flag emoji.
And for those who crave more data on emojis, Facebook has compiled some statistics on their usage on its various platforms. More than 700 million emojis are used in Facebook posts each day, with many more in texts. The tears-of-joy face remains popular as does the smiling face with heart eyes, but the birthday cake is trending this year.
Overall, Facebook notes, people are using the heart emoji twice as much this year.

Posttraumatic stress disorder's (PTSD) latent structure has been widely debated. To date, two four-factor models (Numbing and Dysphoria) have received the majority of factor analytic support. Recently, Elhai et al. (2011) proposed and supported a revised (five-factor) Dysphoric Arousal model. Data were gathered from two separate samples; War veterans and Primary Care medical patients. The three models were compared and the resultant factors of the Dysphoric Arousal model were validated against external constructs of depression and anxiety. The Dysphoric Arousal model provided significantly better fit than the Numbing and Dysphoria models across both samples. When differentiating between factors, the current results support the idea that Dysphoric Arousal can be differentiated from Anxious Arousal but not from Emotional Numbing when correlated with depression. In conclusion, the Dysphoria model may be a more parsimonious representation of PTSD's latent structure in these trauma populations despite superior fit of the Dysphoric Arousal model.

Digital Quick Pages for Your Analog Planner
by Kathy Brandt
June 2019
I have been a digital scrapbooker online since 2005 (and a scrapper even longer). I love making things on my computer and am getting tons of pages done with digital. My Pinterest account has over 900 posts to it from the last few years.
The past two years I got into planning. I purchased a Classic Happy Planner and started using stickers in it to "make it pretty." The stickers never matched the planner colors or even the size of them didn't match the CHP boxes. There was always less sticker to fill the spot. So, I thought, "I can do better than this."
I created a template and started using digi scrap kits from a designer I do creative team (CT) layouts for. Aimee of Aimee Harrison Designs loved my idea and said I could make pages with any of her kits as long as they were free. I agreed! I call them my CHP Quick Pages. There are two pages to every set and can be found on my blog at KathysScraps.com
I have been purchasing digi designs from an online source and everything can be used commercially…so I decided to open a shop with more pages. Each two-page set is $2. My store is located here: https://kathysscraps.com/shop/
My pages are so easy to use. Just print off (I suggest using cardstock), trim off edges, hole punch (I use the Create 365 planner punch), and place in your planner. It is all done for you. You can add additional sticks if you wish. I have instructions on the pages (on the part you cut off) that even tell you how to make the holes on the page with a regular hole punch.
I also have a facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CHPQPs/

Class/day 1 notes for www.krigline.com.cn/xmu-summer.htm:
--I don't know what you were expecting of this class… other than to be in
a hot classroom using a foreign language. But a lot of what you get FROM
this class will depend on what you put INTO this class.
--As Dr Ben-Shahar of Harvard says…
His goal is not to make students "happy" but "happier"; my goal is not to
make you "successful" but "more successful". Success, like happiness, is
on a continuum.
As we look at examples/methods/articles, you need to be asking yourself
how you can "improve" your mindset. "Many faces" means "many pathways."
--reminder: If you have not seen your final exam and your term grade, you
can see the marks on line (for a limited time). You can see your exam
THIS WEEK ONLY at my apartment. After this week, I will shred all old
exams. Likewise, if there is a mistake about your grade, you MUST talk to
me about it this week. After Thursday, it will be too late.
--To be "successful" in this course…
During this short course, I know you have a lot to do for your other
courses, and realize how uncomfortable our hot classrooms are. So I'll go
easy on you! You don't have to take any tests or
write any papers. Half of your grade will be based on a practiced
role play (groups of five), and half on a short speech (the last day of
class). There is a second option that we discussed on the first day of
--Role plays. In groups of four to six, you will present a 4-6 minute role play
about a "successful Chinese person" (includes "overseas Chinese"). Only
one group can do any person (again, next week I'll assign you to groups
and pass around a topic sign up sheet). This can be a real person (like Lu Xun or Qin Shi Huang) or a fictional person (like…). You can do a talk
show with or about that person, or whatever you like…
--Attendance. I've been told that you can miss only two days of class and
still pass this course. We talked about this on the first day. If you have
questions, talk to your monitor or to me. As always, if you can't attend
your class, you are welcome in a different section. You don't need
"permission" to miss or switch. But since our class is already large,
please do not encourage students who are not in our class to attend. (Large classes limit how often each
person can talk.)
--I'll show two movies: Sherlock Holmes on June 20,21, and
Ever After on July 4,5,6.
--Comments: Throughout the next five weeks (10 classes) we will look at
successful people (mostly real, plus Sherlock Holmes and "Cinderella")
such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Basil Rathbone, Henry Ford, Da Vinci, Bill
Gates, Tan Kah Kee, and the founders of McDonalds and Walmart. This is
supposed to be a lecture course, so you will do a lot of listening.
But as we do each of these things we will also discuss what made
people successful, looking for clues to make us more successful. While
there is no single "key" to success, I think you'll see some helpful
--Returning to Dr Ben-Shahar of Harvard…
--In "happiness lecture #1" he talks about a 20-year study of successful
Harvard grads. They found only two things that separated "the successful"
from the "mega-successful": (not IQ or background…)
(1) "really
believed in themselves"; confident/self-motivated
(2) "they
were always asking questions"; curious/learners
--So, I want this to be a class full of discovery and questions. And as we
look at successful people, you need to constantly be thinking: "Would this
behavior/method help me?" "How can this example help me become more
--Discussion, with notes posted at
thought: If you struggled to understand me today, maybe you haven't used
English for two weeks! This shows how important it is to practice English
often. Your homework (as always) is to speak in English for 15 minutes
outside of class (with anyone), but that should be just the beginning. You
need to listen, read and talk in English if you want
to use it successfully! Yes, you have other things to do, but we all "have
time for what is important."
Class/day 3 notes/announcements:
--With your partner, describe how Holmes (& the Secret Weapon) used some
of these "methods" in this movie: disguise, deception, observation,
chemistry/photography, code breaking, machinery/technology.
A. disguise (book seller, jail-bird, scientist)
B. deception (German agents, trick M into taking out his blood, disguises,
open trap door)
C. observation (describing Ms. Tobel w/o seeing her; knew her visitor
wasn't an electrician; heard the bookcase while blindfolded; found clue
after the real note was gone)
D. chemistry/photography (to see the markings left by the pencil;
"glowing" paint drops)
E. code breaking
F. machinery/technology (way to track M's car)
--Lots of announcements!
--"Free Talk" is every Tuesday from 6:20 to 6:50 in 4-116.
--Please check the roster sheet today. Be sure you are listed in the
correct class (i.e., the one you will normally attend). Also find out
which Role Play group you are in, and who is your leader. Leaders
should also write down everyone's phone number. Remember that group #2
will perform THIS WEEK! Other group leaders should check the schedule on
line. "I didn't know it was today" is NOT a valid excuse for not being
ready! You will have to come up with something before the class is over!
--Class 1 will notice that, due to the excessive size of your class, each
RP group has six members. Meanwhile, class 3's groups have only four
members. IF some of you in class 1 would like to perform as "group 6 or 7"
during a visit to class 3 (which doesn't have those groups), that would be
fine. Please tell me ASAP so I can rearrange the groups. (groups 6-7
perform in the 8th class) (Group leaders can not change to a different
--THIS WEEK, leaders should put your topic on the sign-up sheet; only one
group can present each "successful Chinese person," so if a different
group already chose your person, you have to choose someone else.
--Regarding your summer grade: I passed around a sign up sheet that
said this:
I do not want my summer grade to be the same as my
spring grade. Instead, I want half of my summer grade to be my marks for
the group role play, and the other half to be from Speech Day (during the
last week). On Speech Day I will present a speech I've written myself (not
copied from the Internet) about a successful Chinese person, and I will
also give a copy of my speech or an outline of the speech to Mr. Krigline.
I realize that my Summer grade may be lower than my Spring grade if I
choose this option, just as it may be higher.
--If you did not earn a grade in the Spring term, you MUST participate in
Speech Day; you do not need to add your name here. If you wish to give a
speech on Speech Day, and yet keep your spring grade, do not put your name
here. (You are welcome to do this, but we'll decide that later.)
--Over the weekend, I found a Readers' Theater for a Holmes story,
and I thought you would enjoy that more than just listening to one. So,
would the following people stand or get a script! (You can see who you
play on the chart, and yes, the "boyfriend's part" has been assigned to a
woman! To save money, actors with minor parts will share a script.)
--Holmes' part is the longest, so I will read/act that part in all three
classes LATER THIS WEEK. If others really want to switch with someone,
that is OK with me (and if you will be absent from our next class, please
get someone to do your part!).
--Actors: please at least get familiar with your parts, even if you don't
have time to read the whole play. If you want to bring "props", that is OK
Class 4 notes:
As you watch
today's Readers' Theater and hear information about Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, try to fill in these blanks. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are
vocabulary terms.
Holmes' successful methods: first, as the client talks, listen
for things that don't sound normal (like the nocturnal *whistle
and speckled *band); then examine the scene carefully, looking
for things that are out of place or otherwise unusual (such as the
indoor ventilator, the useless bed-pull cord, and the
bed that had been *clamped to the floor); he also did
research to learn the background (such as learning about Helen's
mother's will), which helped him guess at *motives (i.e.,
the effect this crime would have on someone's inheritance). Holmes did
not quickly jump to conclusions (e.g., about what "band" meant)
and didn't overlook small facts that seem insignificant (like
having a saucer of milk but no cat). He used imagination to think
of possible methods to do the crime—something that incorporates
all of the facts--and then tested that theory (in this play, he
spent the night in Helen's bedroom). He was brave, but not
foolish/stupid (in the bedroom, Holmes had a cane handy, and
he asked Watson to come along, and to bring his revolver/gun and
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's success as an author is related to many
factors. He overcame adversity as a child, growing up as the son of an
alcoholic. He had a broad knowledge in many fields, including his
education as a medical doctor. His fictional characters were
believable because many were based on real people, such as Prof. Bell
(his medical instructor, who demonstrated the "scientific methods"
used by Holmes) and himself (who, like Dr. Watson, had served as a
military doctor abroad). Doyle also had many interests, including
sports like cricket and golf, and working to defend people
wrongly accused of crime. He was also very patriotic, and was knighted
for a book that explained Britain's unpopular war in South Africa. He also
responded to the desires of his fans—though not always willingly!
Finally, Sir Arthur did not "rest" on his success, but was always working
on the next project, which resulted in many popular books
and novels.

A contusion is an injury to the soft tissue where the skin is intact.
Bruising often accompanies a contusion.
Bruises occur when blood vessels beneath the skin have been damaged and leak into the surrounding soft tissue. This can result in skin taking on a black-and-blue hue.
Symptoms of Bruises
Symptoms of a contusion include localized pain, swelling and bruising.
Who is at Risk for Bruises?
We are all at risk of injury as we go through life. Contusions and bruising can be more severe in the elderly if they have less fat and muscle under the skin. Anyone who is on blood thinning medications can have more significant bruising and consequently pain from a contusion.
Treatment of Bruises
There are several steps you can take to treat a contusion:
Protect the injured area
Ice the bruise to ease pain and reduce swelling
If possible, elevate the part of the body that has been injured
Wrap the bruise with a bandage to reduce swelling
When should I see a Doctor for Bruising?
Most contusions resolve uneventfully. However, if you have persistent swelling or pain, consider speaking with a medical professional, as your symptoms might be indicative of a more serious injury, such as a fracture or sprain.
MeMD is a convenient and secure way to receive medical care for bruises online, over the phone, or by app 24/7/365.

I'm envious of people who have relaxed dogs. These are the pups you see at outdoor cafes lying comfortably while their owners sip drinks or enjoy a bite to eat. They're the ones that when taking walks care more about getting a "You're a good boy" glance from their owner than they do about the squirrel who just darted across their path. This is not my dog. Vincent is 100% spaz.
I knew to ask for a sedative after surgery. It was part of my pharmacologic arsenal and just as important as the antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and pain med. I know this because as day turned into night, he became restless. He had difficulty settling and staying asleep. Because the majority of healing process takes place during sleep, I believe that administering Trazodone before bedtime for the first couple weeks after surgery was an integral part of Vinny's recovery.
Now imagine this: It's Friday and you're excited because your dog had CCL surgery and today's the day you get to take her home. You get discharge instructions and get her settled inside. Things are going along smoothly and you think, "This isn't so difficult. What's the big deal?" And then the shift occurs. It's 2 AM, and everything is changing. Your once calm dog is now whimpering, howling, pacing and panting. Your efforts to console her aren't working. You're frantic and ask yourself, "Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong?"
The veterinary hospital is an hour or more away. You have no option but to wait out the night with hopes that the surgical center has Saturday hours. If they don't, it's going to be a very long weekend for you and your dog.
Stories like this aren't uncommon. I've read them countless times in CCL Injury Facebook groups. And for this reason, when I advise people, I ALWAYS recommend that they ask the surgeon for a sedative such as Trazodone. You might say, "But my dog is chill. She won't need it." My response remains the same. Every surgery is different, so even if your dog did well after a previous procedure or he/she has never had surgery, STILL ask for the medication. You'll be happy to have it and not need it versus being stuck without it.
Was Trazodone prescribed for your dog? Please share your experience with others by leaving a comment. Thanks!

Great blog!! My dog was not prescribed a sedative but based upon your recommendations I insisted that the surgeon give us some. I am so thankful that I did. Once we got him home he was restless and in pain. I am so thankful for your book and your great advice!!

Standing Up to Goliath
This interview with teacher Rebecca Friedrichs, author of Standing Up to Goliath, was originally published by Full Measure News.
Sharyl [Full Measure News Staff]: Why did you object being forced to pay into the teacher union?
Rebecca Friedrichs: The Teacher's Union took my money from day one and spent it on far left political causes that were not only against my own values, but we're bringing harm to the children that I'm hired to serve and protect.
Sharyl: What made you decide to do a legal challenge? Because this is something we've heard about from actually many professions over the years, but most people do not think they're going to take a case to court.
Friedrichs: Well, I decided to take a legal challenge because I had tried everything in my power to make my voice heard from within the union and from without. I even served three years on the executive board of my local union and I was bullied, shut down and silenced even as a union leader.
Sharyl: When you say teachers are bullied by the Union, you mean
Friedrichs: Yes.
Sharyl: By union leaders?
Friedrichs: In 2009, I was a leader in my local union and went to a California Teacher's Association leadership conference. One teacher, brave teacher, had the courage to stand up and ask a question. She stated that she was there for the teachers in her district and that they were all disturbed, that their money was being used to fund politics against their will and behind their backs. And they wanted to know what they could do to have a voice in the way our money is spent. The union leadership on the stage stood together sort of in a, in a gang like mentality. And they shut her down. They basically told her that she was a bigot if she didn't believe their way. They told us that the union way is the only right way to think and that if we didn't believe in or support their politics, there was something wrong with us. All 300 teachers set their dead silent. We were like little children bullied on the playground.
Sharyl: Is this, for those who aren't familiar with the fight at its heart, a battle of conservative teachers are more conservative leaning people fighting the more liberal minded teachers or the unions?
Friedrichs: I don't think this is a battle of conservative against liberal. No, because I know many liberal teachers who are upset with the teacher's unions. The teachers' unions have actually taken over the teaching profession. I call it real teachers versus teachers union activists. They are planting activist teachers in schools all across the country and those teachers are very far left. Many of them radical and they are mean and they bully teachers.
Sharyl: What would you say is the heart of your lawsuit?
Friedrichs: Our basic argument was this: teachers should be able to decide for ourselves without fear or coercion whether or not to fund a union. We just wanted choice.
Sharyl: Aren't there some things that they've been able to do to protect workers, provide pensions, make sure working conditions are good? Are you an essence inadvertently fighting that too?
Friedrichs: I think the union started out as something really good and if they would stick to their mission, I think that would be great, but the state and national teachers' unions have become what they used to fight. When we ask for accountability, when we ask them to do the things that we would like them to do were shut down and harassed and silenced. That's not a union. That's a gang of bullies.
Sharyl: Your case was heard before the Supreme Court on January 11th, 2016. What was the outcome and what's happened since?
Friedrichs: The outcome of our case was a four to four deadlock because one month after our oral arguments, Justice Scalia tragically died, so we lost his vote. the day we lost was pretty devastating. So I just asked God to give me strength and I started writing my book. I started interviewing teachers and parents and children from across the country and wrote standing up to Goliath. And while I was doing that, my friend Mark Janus brought his case forward and the United States Supreme Court accepted it.
Sharyl: Like Friedrichs, Janus sought to end the practice of government employees being forced to pay unions.
Friedrichs: Mark's case was heard in February of 2018 and miraculously Mark won on my birthday. So that was a pretty great day.
The battle continues. After the Supreme Court banned forced union membership of public employees, Friedrichs says some teachers complained they began getting bullied to remain in the union.

Guest essay by Eric Worrall
CNBC author Helen Zhao claims people are flocking to tourist destinations like the Australian Great Barrier Reef, because they believe this may be their last chance to see the reef in all its glory before it is wiped out global warming.
3 'last chance' destinations drawing travelers worried about climate change
1:42 PM ET Fri, 23 Feb 2018
Some bucket-list trips may be more about anticipating the destination's demise than yours.
Certain countries susceptible to climate change have seen a spike in travel interest over the past year, according to a new report from travel insurance comparison web site Squaremouth. People may be advancing their plans to see these places in all their current glory, they note.
The report is based on data Squaremouth collects when people input their destination and trip costs into the site to compare policies.
For example, interest in the Maldives — an island chain southwest of India that is fighting rising sea levels — jumped 68 percent from 2016 to 2017. In comparison, Squaremouth's 20 most-traveled destinations saw an average increase of 15 percent in the same time period.
Travel interest boost: 25 percent
Tourists may be flocking down under to view the famously colorful Great Barrier Reef before it bleaches further due to warming sea temperatures. Last year marked the first year mass bleaching is known to have happened to the 1,400-mile-long habitat two years in a row.

In Australia, tourism operators are worried exaggerated claims of damage to the reef might put tourists off.
Barrier Reef not dead from coral bleaching says Queensland Tourism Industry Council
By Isobel Roe, Frances Adcock and Rachel Riga
Updated 29 Apr 2016, 11:15am
Queensland's peak tourism body has defended the condition of the Great Barrier Reef after reports of severe coral bleaching.
The far northern end of the Great Barrier Reef is undergoing what is thought to be its worst bleaching event on record.
Scientists predict half of the affected corals could die during the phenomenon.
The Queensland Tourism Industry Council's Daniel Gschwind said the reef was not dead.
"Many people around the globe have an interest, have a stake almost in the Great Barrier Reef, so negative publicity like that is clearly not helpful," he said.
Mr Gschwind said while the environmental impact north of Cairns may be significant, reefs frequented by tourists were in much better condition.
"As long as we keep everybody appropriately informed of the fact that major tourism sites are largely intact and it still is the best reef in the world," he said.
He said sharing accurate information would ensure tourists still wanted to visit the World Heritage site.

The Great Barrier Reef has become a political football in Australia.
In one corner we have the academics, who are screaming they need more funds to investigate the "unprecedented" bleaching of a reef which has survived hundreds of millions of years of mass extinction events and abrupt climate shifts. WUWT readers might remember Professor Peter Ridd, who is fighting grossly disproportionate attempts by James Cook University to sanction and silence him, after he publicly criticised nonsensical claims that the reef is dying.
In the other corner are Australian tourism groups and government bodies, who are worried the exaggerated claims pouring out of academia might poison a major source of income for Northern Queensland.
Helen Zhao's claim that tourism is up because people want to see the reef before it dies just adds to the comedy.

Happy New Year, Veterans (and all of us who benefit from your selfless service on behalf of our country)!
Despite a year of political upheaval and angst in Washington, veterans can be pleased with the new administration's Veterans Affairs (VA) policy direction that has earned significant bipartisan support.
The prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD), highlighted by the opioid crisis, is not new news.
Approximately, 21 million Americans have an SUD. In 2015 alone, opioids killed more than 33,000 people in the United States, more than any previous year on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The holiday lights have come down. The carolers have gone home.
The official "season of giving," of volunteering and donating to our favorite causes at a rapid clip, is over.
The room was packed at the Primary Care Development Corporation's (PCDC)* Primary Care Innovation Circle.
More than 200 health care executives, providers, community-based agency leaders and practitioners assembled to listen to panelists address the most audacious of tasks: the fate of health care in the United States.
Emergency Department (ED) "boarding" – when patients get stuck in the ED for hours, sometimes days, because there is no placement option readily available – is an issue across the country and has received much attention in Massachusetts recently.
Earlier this month, The Boston Globe published an article highlighting the fact that many of these individuals have behavioral health conditions.
Serendipity made me a barbecue judge in Memphis, a martial arts student in Little Rock, and a psychiatrist/epidemiologist in a conference call about the implementation of measurement-based mental health care – this in the last several weeks. This serendipity also made it clear to me what all of these activities have in common: the need to quantify quality.
In the wake of the recent nightclub shooting in Orlando, there are voices that are again loudly touting mental illness as a key target for preventing the repetition of such horrors.
Yet, as we wrote last year, researchers have already debunked the link between mental illness and gun violence. Instead, we found access to guns increases rates of suicide, but not of homicide. However, what most people don't know is that, underlying all of this, there is policy prohibiting research from delving further into the issue and discovering where the evidence leads us.
In the midst of an election year and a national opioid addiction crisis, mental health is finally getting the attention it's due.
The Mental Health Reform Act, which has already been approved by the Senate HELP Committee, is one of those efforts that is trying to right the ship to balance mental and physical health care.
When it comes to government funding for mental health services, there's good news and some bad news.
The good news is that the federal government is putting its money where its mouth is. President Obama recently announced that the administration is proposing for 2017 the expenditure of $500 million for a series of two-year mental health initiatives and $1.1 billion for new addiction treatment, prevention and recovery programs.
