Enduring Power of Attorney
A legal document which allowed you to appoint someone to manage your financial affairs and property on your behalf in the future if you were no longer able to yourself. For example, if your mental or physical health declines.
In October 2007, Enduring Power of Attorneys were replaced by Lasting Power of Attorneys. But if your selected Attorney is still willing to act on your behalf, an Enduring Power of Attorney is still valid.

I'm not sure if this painting comes across well on the computer screen. Looks a little neon, but it's subtler than that. I painted it one evening, in late fall as the sun set quickly over the city of Boston.
I just gave the water a few finishing touches today voila! It's done.

(Warning! Warning! These stories reflect only the opinion of the author and nothing more)
The annual team trials, held just before the annual Decathlon/Heptathlon, was a bit different this year than most. The biggest difference was the weather-- instead of the traditional blazing heat under a scorching sun and clear sky, it was a cool, overcast day with a light breeze on the backstretch. It was fast running weather. Defending champion Dan Dickinson held off middle distance standout Erik DeLapp in the last mile of the 5000 meter run to repeat as the winner for the men. There were also impressive performances by Junior Fransisco Vargas and Freshman Evan Rowe.
Partial [UNOFFICIAL] Results :
5000 Meter Run - Men

Kenny Rodgers - Kenny Loves Jesus (1981)
"Kenny, Jesus said he only likes you as a friend! He's starting to get kind of worried that you might be obsessing over Him a tad too much! Now please take off that tuxedo. I don't think He's going to spontaneously decide to marry you after seeing how you carved up that tree."

America's optics authority, Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has renewed its long-standing partnership with the Boone and Crockett Club. The partnership has been critical in the advancement of the Boone and Crockett Club's mission to promote the conservation and management of wildlife and its habitat. The Club also seeks to preserve and encourage hunting while maintaining the highest ethical standards of fair chase and sportsmanship in North America.
"Conservation is a complex business of doing what is necessary today so there will be favorable outcomes tomorrow," said Boone and Crockett Club President Ben Hollingsworth Jr. "Successful conservation is also about collaborative partnerships. No one does it alone, from state and federal agencies to non-profits to local groups and rotaries. Leupold has been a friend to conservation and the Club for many years. Their innovations and products may get the most attention but their commitment to sportsmen, the traditions of hunting, wildlife, and the habitats that support them should not be overlooked."
Founded in Oregon more than a century ago, Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is a fifth generation, family owned company that designs, machines and assembles its riflescopes, mounting systems and tactical/Gold Ring spotting scopes in the USA. The product lines include rifle, handgun and spotting scopes; binoculars; rangefinders; mounting systems; and optical tools, accessories and Pro Gear.
"No optics company does more for sportsmen's rights and conservation across the United States than Leupold," said Riza Lesser, Strategic Partnerships Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "The Boone & Crockett Club is the oldest wildlife conservation organization in North America - we're proud to be a longtime partner."
"Planting a seedling knowing that you may never rest in its shade or enjoy its fruit, but that someday someone else will, is the sign of a true conservationist," explained Hollingsworth Jr. "For Leupold, that someone is its loyal customers whose passion is hunting and shooting sports. The game we hunt does not happen by chance. It takes purpose and commitment. We're blessed to have partners like Leupold."

Thank you for taking the time to look at our website and I'd just like to take a couple of minutes to explain what our firm is about. Nearly 20 years ago, one of my fellow Directors, Andrew Prescott, and I, started a Company called Dallas Kirkland (Professions) Ltd with the sole aim of providing insurance solutions to the recruitment and associated sectors. Very quickly we became the most respected and largest insurance facility in the marketplace and worked closely with both industry associations, such as the REC and APSCO, and recruitment firms generally to ensure that the insurance challenges faced by the industry were being dealt with in a cohesive and constructive way. We were involved in renegotiating a number of National non-standard contracts of behalf of the sector generally resulting in outcomes that were welcomed both by the recruitment industry and their own clients. Indeed our reputation in our chosen field was held in such esteem that numerous other brokers used our 'in house' expertise and insurance facilities to arrange cover for their own clients.
There are now a great number of individuals working for insurance businesses professing to offer similar bespoke services, many of whom actually worked for Andrew and I at one time or another, yet I've seen no real evidence that there is a real commitment to recognise, understand and address the changing issues facing the industry generally. The myriad of ways that temporary staff are now engaged, whether it be through an umbrella or payroll company, zero hour contract or PAYE Ltd company has meant that the contractual issues between an agency, the worker and their client have developed into a minefield. The tax savings made on one hand may be more than unbalanced by the liability exposure and increased premium implications on the other. It is therefore vitally important that you deal with someone like us who really understand the various relationships and the implications arising .
We don't profess to always be the cheapest but we're certainly looking to bring 'expertise' and 'service' back into such an important area of industry that are entitled to demand more from their suppliers.
We look forward to being of help to you.
Robin H C Kirkland

BIBLE HILL – A Moncton man is facing a number of charges after police recovered a stolen vehicle on Feb. 20.
At 8:45 a.m., Colchester District RCMP responded to a complaint of a stolen SUV from a service station on Pictou Road in Bible Hill. The vehicle was stolen while the owner was paying for his fuel.
RCMP members patrolled the area immediately, located the SUV on Robie Street in Lower Truro, and attempted to stop the vehicle. The driver left the area at a high rate of speed and police quickly called off the pursuit. The suspect and vehicle were located a short time later in the area of Highway 311 in North River. The RCMP Street Crime Enforcement Unit and RCMP Police Dog Service assisted the detachment in containment of the scene and arrest of the suspect without incident. The stolen SUV was recovered.
The 21-year-old man is facing charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, driving while disqualified, operating a motor vehicle while being pursued by police, theft of a motor vehicle, and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
The investigation is ongoing.

QUEEN'S PARK – Cindy Forster, the Ontario NDP's labour critic, issued the following statement in response to the Wynne government's refusal to drop its defense of discriminatory practices that are currently denying injured workers their WSIB claims after they developed mental health issues while on the job.
"Instead of helping workers who were injured on the job, the Wynne government is going to court to fight them.
Premier Kathleen Wynne is defending her government's record of denying WSIB compensation to workers who developed mental health issues after chronic or long-term trauma on the job.
New Democrats are calling on Premier Wynne to stop using workers' money against them in court, drop its court defense and immediately recognize the mental health diagnoses of injured workers.
By waiting until after the next provincial election to change the law that discriminated against workers suffering from mental health concerns, and excluding all claims made prior to 2018, the Wynne government is playing politics on the backs of injured workers and denying them the insurance they need after being injured on the job.
This comes just one month after the WSIB president, Premier Wynne's former chief of staff, was praised for appearing at Injured Workers Day events at Queen's Park. If the Wynne government was serious about change, it would make immediate changes to the flawed system.
New Democrats call on Premier Wynne to stop running roughshod over Ontario workers and Ontario's workplace safety and insurance system."

We've been eagerly following Millie Mackintosh's London Fashion Week style, and she closed a week of show-going with what was probably our favourite look yet.
Hitting the H by Haakan show Yildirim show she teamed a simple off-the-shoulder top and ruffle hem skirt to show off those perfect pins. Completing the look she added black ankle boots and a forest-green fedora.
And the lovely lady that she is, she took to Instagram to let us know where we can get our hands on her cute autumn look. That animal-print skirt is a steal from her new Millie Mackintosh Collection fashion line. Well, who better to model it? The boots are by Cat Maconie and she'd also toted a Follie Follie bag to keep all those show tickets in.
This isn't the first piece Millie's rocked from her own line this fashion week – on Sunday she showed off a chic sheer shirt of her own creation at the Lulu Guiness Perspective party. She paired the blouse with River Island tailored shorts, her fave Cat Macone boots, one of her signature fedoras, and a Lulu Guiness lips clutch – well, it would be rude not to!
Check out Millie's whole collection in the gallery below, and don't blame us if you want it all.

what I don't want
i don't want to dabble in things
that don't matter at all
I don't care to be important
i rather remain "small"
I dont want to change
If I get my degree
I rather stay like i am;
simple as can be..
Some may think its great
to have a phd
Others think its something
to acquire a degree
But i just like the challenge
without any fame
If I should graduate
Can I just stay the same
Is it ok to think this way
or is something wrong with me
For not wanting big titles
or people praising me?
I want to do whatever I must
to help others more
but witout fanfare or bugles
whenever i enter a door..
joy pachowicz
Hi Eva:
I fear what too much knowledge and learning can do to one. I have seen examples of using knowledge for good and for bad.
I know its easy to get carried away with self importance..I have no desire for such ways ..am attracted to those .. intellectually. that never make a big noise about who they are. and don't want to ever think just because one has gone far ..there is reason to become high and mighty..
Pretty much this is where I am coming from. I dont want to be anyone but myself and if i have to stop being myself to pursue my degree I would sooner drop my degree.
I am really battling inside me . what to do as I fear losing my happiness for little thngs by going to far in studies..
Hi Eva:
I am truly in love with the simple things yet find so much depth in the world around me: i am in love with the universe..all creation.
I want to always have that and yes you are right I do love hanging around the clouds with my thoughts..Nice getaway..
Thank you for your kind words. I love anything that allows me to better help others.. It means alot to me all your words..glad you feel I won't become puffed up like one of those big thunderstorm clouds that produce alot of noise;)
Have a great evening.
It's a beautiful thing to be happy with yourself...just the way you are! We all get caught up in achieving the next thing, reaching the next level - and too often that ratrace keeps us from realizing how happy we can be.
I applaud your honesty about this!
Hi Joy,
If more people (me included) followed your philosophy of loving the simple things and being content with themselves...
Thanks for sharing you!

Of the fifteen islands in the Cook Islands archipelago, Rarotonga is likely the only one you might recognize by name. Craggy green pinnacles rise from the island center as if offering ecstatic praise to the deep verdant valleys they overlook. The mountain slopes are fertile, indeed every colour you can imagine is represented in the flowering plants that overflow from the rich soil. Some of the flowers are familiar, while others are strange, but they all seem to belong to the place.
Rarotonga is the most populous island in the Cook Islands. The Parliament buildings, as well as the international airport, are located here. The chief town, Avarua, on the north coast, is also the capital of the Cook Islands. Although Cook Islands are referred to as Rarotongan, they may in fact come from any of the 15 islands in the group, such as Aitutaki or Mangaira. The island is surrounded by a lagoon, often stretching more than a hundred yards to the reef. The part of the island around Muri is the most popular with tourists for swimming, diving and boating. The interior of the island, dominated by eroded volcanic peaks, is a sea of dense, green vegetation and remains largely unpopulated due to the forbidding terrain and lack of dependable roads. There is no road crossing the island and there are only two bus routes "Clockwise" and "Anti-Clockwise", seriously that's what the bus routes are called. And, on Sunday only the "Clockwise" bus runs. There are no bus stops, you just wave the bus down or ask the driver to let you off. A complete tour of the island costs $4.
The seas are very rough, with winds whipping up the swells to a roller coaster ride level for the tenders. Pat isn't the best on tenders at the best of times so we elect to stay on board. At 3 PM the captain cancels further trips to shore. By 4:30 everyone is back on board but we don't actually leave the anchorage until 7PM due to mechanical issues with one of the winches. Things never break in good weather

raise a glass to transition
at this moment,
i feel beautiful, strong, smooth, and fiercely independent.
wine, you are a saint.
clarity, you are a goddess.
i feel a breeze, and the slightest hint of movement in my life.
i had forgotten how good it felt to fall asleep tangled in another person.
i had also forgotten how good it felt to sit in my underwear drinking wine alone at midnight.

your words are really very touching and the shape of your sentences always very clever, even if I does not always consist of everything (I am French).
Excuses I also to have comment in first on one of your picture rather than your words

Risk of getting HIV from bus seat
Hello, I was riding the bus when suddenly I looked at the back of my shirt and saw that a pimple popped. Is there a risk of the virus getting through my shirt since the blood from my pimple went through my shirt?
Hi there and thank you for reaching out to AIDS Vancouver with your questions. We're happy to help!
To start off with: the scenario that you described is a no risk situation. Here is a copy of the AIDS Vancouver Transmission Equation that we use to determine if there is a risk for HIV Transmission:
|• blood (including menstrual)
|• unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse
|• vagina
|• semen
|• sharing needles
|• anus
|• pre-cum
|• mother to child (in specific cases)
|• urethra in the penis
|• rectal secretions
|• open cuts and sores (in theory)
|• vaginal fluids
|• other mucosal membranes
|• breast milk
|• points of needle injection
In order for there to be a risk of HIV transmission, all 3 factors (body fluid, activity, and direct access to the bloodstream) must be present. The main thing lacking in your interaction is direct access to the bloodstream. In order for a cut or wound to provide said access, the cut needs to be gushing blood and require immediate and professional medical attention. A superficial wound (i.e. a pimple) like the one described in your question does not provide direct access to the bloodstream.
Here are some great resources to help further your understand about HIV Transmission:
Avert and CATIE are two fantastic and reliable website concerning HIV transmission and testing, and I highly encourage you to take a read through if you have any further questions.
I hope I was able to answer your question, and feel free to contact us with any further concerns.

On the morning of the 2nd September I spent from 8.15am until just before midday birding at Highfields' Falls Park between Toowoomba and Crows Nest, SEQ. This area consists of open eucalypt woodland transected by a lush gully of wet sclerophyll/rain forest remnants along a running creek. The weather was fine and fresh, post rain, mild with a gentle breeze. Birdlife was prolific on the day.
During my sojourn there I was fortunate to see two species of birds that have not been recorded, as yet, for the TBO's "250 in 2006" Challenge. They were Yellow-tufted Honeyeater and Turquoise Parrot. I saw a pair of the honeyeaters flitting about the trees low over the pool, just above the top of the 'waterfall', at about 9.30am. They were at GDA 94 - S 27deg 28' 24.6", E 151deg 57' 14.4". The pair only put in a brief appearance, about 50-60 seconds, before disappearing into the canopy.
Just before departing I was walking down the track out of the open eucalypt country, where it abuts the wetter woodland, heading for the Dau Street entrance when I flushed a small, svelte parrot from the ground. It perched close by and I had very good views of a beautifully coloured Turquoise Parrot, a lovely bird (and one M.A. predicted for this time of year). This was at 11.10am at GDA94 - S 27deg 28' 29.4", E 151 deg 57' 11.2". If anyone is interested in having a look for this parrot I've stuck a broken straw broom head, which I found nearby, in the ground near to the place of the parrot sigthing.
I didn't see either species when I revisited on the Sunday morning as I was only there for about 30 minutes whilst getting the above GPS readings.

Tesla Races To Finish Gigfactory ASAP
It's Tesla Gigafactory week with press in attendance now and the grand opening to a select group of lucky individuals planned for Friday.
This means that there's been a wealth of Gigafactory information spewing out all week, including this from JB Straubel, Tesla's chief technical officer and co-founder, on how Tesla is racing to complete the battery factory as quickly as possible.
"We have to be ready with cell and pack production well ahead of vehicle production. We're accelerating our construction plans and accelerating our planned ramp up of cell production."
To accelerate efforts, Tesla has 1,000 workers on site who work in two shifts seven days a week. As Wall Street Journal explains:
"Tesla has doubled the number of people constructing the "gigafactory," which sits on more than 3,000 acres near Reno. Now, 1,000 workers build seven days a week on two shifts in an effort to start churning out lithium-ion cells by late 2016."
"As of now, the gigafactory's structure is less than one-sixth the size of what the final building is expected to occupy. Most exterior walls are temporary and can be relocated. Already finished is a four-story rectangular portion of the facility, housing 1.9 million square feet of floor space."
Joe Taylor, chief executive of Panasonic North America, says the cell maker is doing its part to keep pace too:
"We are running around like crazy hiring people."
One new goal, as announced by Elon Musk, is:
- 105 gigawatt hours of battery cells annually by 2020
The Gigafactory is essential for the Model 3, so we hope Tesla is successful in its efforts to accelerate construction of the battery factory

That is a huge employment bump.
All employed right here in the United States to enable more use of 100% US produced electricity to power cars.
This is much better for the US economy than building more gas cars that will create more foreign oil extraction jobs outside of US borders. (and yes, Canada and Mexico are most definitely outside of US borders…)
By that flawed logic, it is patriotic to buy a gas car, since much of that fuel comes from domestic fraccing.
Its ok little leftists. I know that facts hurt your head.
There is nothing patriotic about fracking, and destroying the irreplaceable aquifer under everyone's feet.
Change takes time. Solar and wind will eventually replace natural gas and other filthy fossil fuels. For moral, economic and environmental reasons.
The scientific studies don't support your assertions.
But a lot of fracking occurs in Canada?
Yes small minded right winger, it is patriotic to buy American products built by American labor with sustainable energy generated on our soil despite your yearning to outsource labor, products and energy to the cheapest foreign bidder. That behavior is called unbridled capitalism and is unpatriotic despite whatever mental cool aid you have been drinking on Fox.
By cars.com index most American car is Toyota Camry with 75% American content, for the second year. Some other Hondas and Toyotas follow. Sorry no GM nor Ford nor Tesla are most American. Model S is reported to have some 55% American content.
There is also Kogod Made in America Index, but it includes too much arbitrary criteria, not real physical parts.
Where did the money go for the engineering of those cars? (just 1 example of many that it's not just about where the car is assembled; much more to it)
Isn't it obvious that money goes to:
1. People and companies who are making these 75% parts of the car, as salaries and shareholder dividends.
2. Workers and managers who assemble these cars in the US or foreign factories.
3. Shareholders. All major automakers are publicly traded companies with shareholders around the world. They are not some family business despite the fact that main headquarters are in one or another country. Most of the money do not go to people in headquarters.
Scott Franco said:
"Its ok little leftists. I know that facts hurt your head."
Scott, I generally enjoy reading your posts. But if you think you've scored a point here by making an unprovoked attack on "leftists", then you're very wrong. What you've done is reveal your own narrow-minded bias.
I'm all for creating good paying American jobs. We certainly need more of them. I'm also for ending the use of burning fossil fuels for everyday transportation needs.
The first can be done while still doing the second, contrary to what you implied in your rant.
This article's key word – "acceleration" – is commonly used to describe Tesla's products and practices in all sorts of ways. High acceleration is good on the drag strip and makes great videos, but we also have seen a lot of unintended consequences and costly accidents related to Tesla's acceleration, also in all kinds of ways.
Let's hope they have construction managers with the experience to keep this on-track and not get derailed by upper management's accelerated expectations.
There you go again blaming Tesla for the accident, all I know is that Tesla hates will have a bad time the upcoming weeks. Go Testa!
This build out is big enough to warrant a construction manager for each new block, for each shift, for each crew: Concrete, Steel, Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Lighting, etc.!
So that could be as many as 80 people, not so bad to manage by a few directors of development! Four directors = one for each block, each of them coordinate 20 managers.
I will be at the Gigafactory 1 event on Friday. I hope to get there early enough to test drive the Model 3, of which I have two on order.
Please share your thoughts on the model 3 if this comes to fruition.
Please shake Elon's hand and tell him to keep fighting for a clean energy future.
Are the workers now working at Ludicrous speed?
Any idea when the first cell will come off the line?
Everyone working there is wearing plaid shirts!
Maybe make the coffee with Redbull.
I can't see any Tesla vehicles in the employee lot….

Canal Irrigation in British India: Perspectives on Technological Change in a Peasant Economy
Although one of the acknowledged achievements of the British Raj was the extensive construction of irrigation works, their effects have to date been little studied by historians. In this book Dr Stone has undertaken the first full-scale study of the qualitative and quantitative effects on local economics of these irrigation schemes. Focusing upon the region of western Uttar Pradesh in the nineteenth century, the author examines in detail the response of the peasant economy to this important and pervasive form of technological change. In particular, he is concerned with the impact on crop choices, on the organisation and techniques of production, on protection from famine and on the ecological balance, on social and economic relations, and on differential economic performance. An integral part of his study is his examination of the technical features and administration of the systems.

This feature is taken from our Autumn schedule.
It is Halloween today. While the air abounds with the trilling laughter of children and the turn-the-lights-off silence of homeowners who pretend they're not in at trick or treat hour, and whilst thousands and thousands of people debate whether you can just dress up as anything for a Halloween party or if you have to be a scary thing (and if so: just add fake blood), we are talking films. And what better films for Halloween than scary ones, horrific, horrible and weird committals to celluloid that have haunted you ever since your innocent eyes were opened to this dark side of cinema.
We are not just talking to ourselves about films. We've asked some of our friends to join the coven, sit in the dark, hold a torch 'neath their chins and chatter about freaky films. The result is a sizeable and nicely varied buffet of fear for your Halloween indulgences – from psychological thriller to pure claustrophobic horror and mind-melting weirdness, I'm not quite sure I could stomach even one of these, let alone all of them in succession. But with that said, read on and see whether you'll be nodding in frightened agreement or shaking your head and chuckling to yourself because you're actually a gore-loving monster who loves to watch unbelievably terrifying things.
The Craft (1996)
I love The Craft. It's about a cute group of misfit girls who manage to harness this massive power through witchcraft. They get into a lot of trouble, it gets pretty dark, but everything works out in the end. A good metaphor for life, and great styling.

The Ring (2002)
When I first saw this movie I was probably around 11. I was with my sister and her friend in North Wales, staying at my grandparents. Whenever I tried to sleep I kept picturing Samara with her hair over her face walking through the computer that was in my bedroom there. It's a pretty quiet place so all I could hear outside was the sound of the wind. Now I'm older it doesn't scare me at all; truth is scarier than fiction. However I appreciate the atmospheric cinematography; it's very blue and grey, which makes it feel cold and bleak. The soundtrack is also good, subtle, emotional and creepy at the right points. The cursed video tape is and the scene of Samara crawling out of the TV is nothing short of iconic and that cheap analogue TV "aesthetic" inspires my record a lot. I like that it never really succumbs to showing shit loads of gore like many horror movies do. I've been told the original Japanese version is even better but I've never got round to watching it.

Legend (1985)
I should probably start by saying that I loathe horror films and try to avoid them like the plague. Basically I am a massive wuss and get really fucking scared very easily - but the type of scared that means I can't go to the bathroom at night for about a month. A major inconvenience as I'm sure you can imagine. I have picked the first film that I can remember really freaking me out. When I watch it now I realise it's not so much scary but more really, really odd, that said, my 6-year-old self is still trembling behind the sofa. From what I can remember, Legend is about unicorns, the devil, Tom Cruise and some bat shit crazy goblin called Blix*. There's also a pretty intense opening scene involving a bear and a mid-80s amount of dry ice (a lot). Happy halloween err'body.
*My granny had a similar hairstyle to Blix at the time, which made family get-togethers a god damn nightmare.

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
I think this was one of the first scary movies I remember watching. I saw it with a group of my mates at a sleepover once. My friends parents thought we were watching the Lion King or something like that, but as soon as they left the room one of the girls brought out The Hills Have Eyes. We definitely weren't actually old enough to watch it. But within 10 minutes her parents heard a lot of screaming and came running back in to see what was going on! They let us watch it all anyway and I have to say it may have put me off scary movies for good. In fact come to think of it, it may be the only scary movie I have ever watched!

Freaks (1932)
Centered around a circus in which people with physical deformities were paraded as sideshow 'freaks', this is a film that often makes for very difficult, complicated viewing. This is in part because of the directors' treatment of his subjects. What's disappointing is that the circus performers are treated in a straight-forward, unsentimental fashion and depicted as 'real' 'ordinary' people for almost all of the film, but then in the latter stages, Browning (the director) deploys the very cliché of the performers as 'freaks' that his film has tried so hard to subvert until that point. Moral failings aside, it's a completely compelling film with poetic moments, cultish chants and incredible lighting. I've always been fascinated by circuses - their pure strangeness and surreal romanticism.
You can visit Daisy Victoria by heading here.
The Shining (1980)
The Shining is one of my absolute favourite horror films. It has got so many iconic scenes, creepy kids, an empty haunted hotel and Jack Nicholson, who is just pretty scary in general. The mysterious ending gets me every time. It's a film which I'll happily re-watch year after year without it feeling dated.

Using multiple production units to achieve big results quickly.
Most client video production requests start off pretty much the same: grab some footage of a location, get some interviews, edit and post. Occasionally though, the project gets a little bigger than that down the line. In the case of a local furniture retailer, it got bigger than most professional sports stadiums!
Partnering with Omaha-based advertising agency, Redstone, CRM Studios recently set up and completed nearly an entire week's worth of production in a single day. This wasn't just another simple point-and-shoot assignment; this was dynamic video production in its truest form, including a variety of complex shots and angles and culminating with a series of aerial shots via CRM's brand new 4K camera drone!
To accomplish such a difficult shoot in such a short amount of time, CRM developed a unique "Leapfrog" approach incorporating a series of specialized production teams working in front or behind each other to accomplish a single piece of the production.
In this case, the assignment was to shoot video of Nebraska Furniture Mart's mammoth new retail location in North Dallas. And when we say mammoth, what we really mean is monstrous! The two-level, 560,000-square-foot store is the biggest home furnishings store in North America, large enough to fit three Wal-Mart Supercenters inside with room to spare!
To shoot anything in such a vast area would require some serious logistical calisthenics, so CRM broke the video production team down into 4 separate units to try and save time. Unit 1 started before dawn capturing amazing aerial footage inside and outside the store using CRM's new 4K quadcopter camera drone. At the same time, Unit 2 worked to accomplish all the staging and pre-lighting necessary for the ground shooting so that Unit 3 could set up and perform the actual filming.
Then, while Unit 2 moved on to stage and pre-light the next scene, Unit 4 – the cleanup team – swooped in and returned the location back to pre-shoot conditions, checking with the client to make sure everything was accurate.
"By splitting up the crew into these specialized team, we're able to give our clients a lot more production for the money, which is something that really only a company of our size can offer," said Tom Kirkhart, company co-owner.
Whether you have a large-scale production or a one-day shoot that needs to look like a large-scale production, juggling multiple production units might just be the answer you need to make video magic in a short amount of time.

When it comes to dinner parties, Molly Shannon knows who she would kick up her heels with—literally.
Celebrating her film "Fun Mom Dinner" at a party presented by Popchips, and hosted by Mom.me and One Potato in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the mom of two and former "Saturday Night Live" performer revealed that her "SNL" guest of honor would be none other than Helen Madden, the licensed joyologist.
"She's very positive and she likes to have fun," Shannon said about the character known for kicking up her legs while shouting, "I love it! I love it! I love it!" "She'd be easy—she'd take care of herself."
"Fun Mom Dinner," directed by Alethea Jones about a group of four moms who decide to let loose one night over dinner, also stars Toni Collette, Katie Aselton and Bridget Everett. The femme-friendly film, which was also written, directed and produced by women, celebrates motherhood while also finding humor in the challenges that come with it. (Hello, getting kicked out of your own bed when your kids want to sleep with you!)
In fact, speaking of challenges, Shannon revealed what she wished someone had told her before she became a mom.
"Nursing was really hard," she said. "Nobody says that. I felt it was harder than childbirth. And I had a lot of consultants come. My husband was like, 'More consultants?!' I was like, 'Yes!' There's this idea that it's supposed to be so natural, and it was hard. And I remember being up in the middle of the night before your milk comes in, and it hurts. It feels like a little piranha!"
The "Fun Mom Dinner" celebration, held at NeuesHouse in LA, gave guests the chance to mingle over mom life and enjoy everything from "rosé pong" to lipstick-print reading. Guests included the film's producers Naomi Scott and Alex Saks, actresses Beverley Mitchell, Amy Davidson, Jessica Hall and Ashley Jones, Weelicious and One Potato founder Catherine McCord, Books and Cookies owner Chudney Ross, as well as influencers Elizabeth Mathis, Veena Crownholm and Nicole Neves.
When asked about what's important for her mom life as a mother of two, Hall said that you need to have your squad: "Now that my daughter is in preschool, it's important to connect with other moms. It's nice to have real mom friends, moms that are like, 'It's not perfect. No, I don't sleep. Yes, you can have a glass of wine or five and still be a good mom.'"
Aselton, who has two kids with husband Mark Duplass ("The Mindy Project"), shared her advice for new moms: Take care of yourself.
"A lot of times 'running errands' is me getting a manicure," Aselton admitted. "Priortizing yourself, I think, makes you a better mom."
That goes for relationships, too, which can sometimes get neglected once the baby arrives.
"You being a mom 100 percent of the time, all the time, is not good for your kid," Aselton added. "Ultimately, being good to yourself and a good partner, and being in a healthy space in that area of your life is the best thing you can do for your kids."
And something else Shannon has learned? Don't be afraid to say no.
"A friend of mine gave me great advice. A lot of times, if you can't do something, you don't even have to give an excuse," Shannon said. "You can just say, 'I'm so sorry, I can't make it.' That to me was very creative because I'd never heard it before. I always thought you had to say why!"

Chestermere & Area Acreages
Chestermere has some great acreages surrounding the town. There are several subdivisions that have two and four acre parcels located in pleasant, well-planned neighbourhoods.
Eastridge Estates[cs_idx_search searchCode="65923″]

Creative Biolabs, a leader in the field of gene-engineered T cells for cancer therapy, offers gene packaging and delivery services for the generation of TCR-modified T cells. Relying on our advanced technologies and rich experience, we can provide the most professional TCR transfection for the most cutting-edge genetically modified immunotherapies.
T lymphocytes play a crucial role in immunity and there are various gene therapy strategies targeting T cells. The efficient gene transfer into T cells facilitates the treatment of several genetic dysfunctions, inherited diseases and acquired diseases. TCR gene transfer via cell fusion or electroporation is also shown to confer MHC restricted specificity to nonspecific T cells. However, these initial processes are generally inefficient for a great number of T cells for clinical application.
Retroviral: the advent of retroviral vectors not only makes gene transfer more efficient at large scale but also enables the stable integration of exogenous genes. Despite demonstrations of scalability and stable expression, retroviral vectors require full T-cell activation for efficient gene transduction that may, in certain culture systems, inhibit cell function.
Lentiviral: lentiviral vectors have the potential to be safer from the perspective of insertional mutagenesis and they have substantially higher transduction efficiency for genetically engineering human T cells. Recently, lentiviral vectors have emerged as a favorable vector system for stably expressing two-gene TCRs, which require dual gene expression. Bicistronic lentiviral vectors that provide for high-level tumor or viral antigen-specific TCR gene expression in T cells have been developed to show strong promise for clinical application.
Electroporation: electroporation-mediated mRNA transfection is an alternative and promising approach without many limitations associated with gene transfer vectors that insert in the genome. mRNA manufacture and delivery does not require the significant costs of manufacture and testing that exogenous viral vectors need.

OSWEGO – There are still openings in the 24th Annual Lady Buccaneer Softball Mini Camp that will be held June 30 – July 2 at the Oswego High School fields for girls ages 9-16 who want to sharpen their skills and have some softball fun.
There will be nine hours of quality instruction throughout the three-day camp. Activities will include throwing, position play, base running, team defense, hitting, bunting, sliding and mini-games.
The camp will run daily from 9 a.m. until noon for ages 9-12, and from 1-4 p.m. for players ages 13-16. The camp has a rain date of July 3.
The cost is $50 per player. There is a sibling discount available, where additional players from the same family can enroll for $40 each. Enrollment is limited to the first 60 players.
All players will receive a commemorative Oswego softball souvenir as well as a player's report card.
Mike McCrobie, the OHS varsity softball coach, will lead the group of instructors.
He has guided the Lady Buccaneers to three Section III championships, six league titles and six times has been named league Coach of the Year.
He was named New York State Coach of the Year in 1995.
Also providing instruction will be veteran coaches Ron Ahart and Brad Shannon.
They have coached a variety of sports in the OHS athletic department for decades and are currently coaching the successful JV and middle school softball teams, respectively.
The rest of the staff will be comprised of current and former Oswego High School players including SUNY Cortland assistant coach and 2007 OHS grad Abby Martin.
In the past, the camp staff has consisted of OHS alumni who have gone on to play college softball and/or coach at various levels from youth to college.
In past camps, returning alumni have included Erika Lazzaro and Emily Kolenda (Brockport State), Allie Yule (Mercyhurst College), Devynn Wilder (SUNY Cortland), Mollie Schneible (St. John Fisher), Samantha Todd (Cazenovia College), Jenna Wyman (Barry University), Susan Sugar (Le Moyne College), Katie Frawley (Illinois Wesleyan), Nikki Taylor (R.I.T.), Kelly Owings (Union College) and others.

Benefits of Ebola Pt. 1
I have always hated to hear that saying "In all things give thanks to God." Now I have seen the very one thing of which no thanks should or must be given to God. Is there any reason to give thanks to God over the outbreak of this deadly virus called Ebola? He asked...
Well I have to answer, so I started: "It might not look like there is a reason to thank God over Ebola, but if people have thanked God over the loss of their loved ones like husbands, daughters, sons, wives, pastors, uncles, bread winners etc then Ebola is not as painful as that. I strongly stand by that scripture that encourages to give God thanks regardless.
Another fact to consider is that righteousness is now being forced down some people's throat vis fear of Ebola. The fear of Ebola has now become the beginning of wisdom. For instance, Lagos was fast becoming dirtier than Sodom & Gomorrah with a lot of sodomy,(check wikipedia), men standing on the streets to be picked by women or fellow men is now humbled by Ebola. The rate of pick ups is reduced because you don't know who slept with the lady or man you want to pick up. For that I say #ThankGodForEbola!
Husbands are now forced by Ebola to maintain fidelity and as a result infidelity is drastically reduced. Kissing, hugging, touching and such are now reasonably reduced very significantly.
The only singular password to exalting a Nation is righteousness for righteousness exalts a Nation, while sin is a reproach. Ebola is playing an amazing role in reducing the culture of immorality which was building up strongly both from the leaders to the led. Righteousness (which simply means knowing the right things to do and doing them) is now returning because of Ebola. Righteous acts such as maintaining a very good hygiene, respecting people's daughters, wives and sons and not desecrating them are now returning. Mind you, when righteousness returns, the city experiences exultation.
* If Ebola is reducing the number of our daughters standing on the streets, then #ThankGodForEbola!
* If Ebola is helping husbands remain and maintain fidelity, then #ThankGodForEbola!
* If Ebola has made you very conscious of your hygiene, then #ThankGodForEbola!
When I was done, the young man didn't know when he joined me and said #ThankGodForEbola!
What do you think? Did I answer him well? Would appreciate your comments on this one.
I want to know if I answered him well. Can anybody see/share another reason to #ThankGodForEbola?

Special Needs Dentistry Needs More Funding
- Posted on: Sep 16 2015
There is a big demand and need for special needs dentistry. Many children and adults that have special needs do not do well at a traditional dental appointment and need a different setting and different approach. Many dentists are willing to do what is needed to help special needs people get the dental care they need, but there is still a new for more funding.
Very few hospitals and dental offices have the facilities needed for special needs dentistry. Dentists are hoping that more government funding will soon be available and that more insurance companies will cover special needs treatments.
