Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days
Catholic Church rejoiced Aug. 13 when several hundred people celebrated 24 years of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. Committed adorers and their families were thanked at Mass and an appreciation banquet.
The celebration began with an outdoor procession of the Blessed Sacrament from the Chapel of Our Savior to the church led by the Rev. Monsignor Martin Muller, with the Knights of Columbus as the honor guard. The 314 red roses in the sanctuary represented committed adorers. Seven white roses represented seven committed adorers who died since the last anniversary.
In addition to committed adorers and their substitutes, 7,422 people visited the Chapel during the past year from the countries of Spain and Belize, other local parishes, other Alabama cities, other states, and Puerto Rico. Books bearing the names and petitions of adorers and visitors were brought forward with the bread and wine during the offertory.
The Rev. Monsignor Muller conveyed his gratitude to the adorers for their dedication and acknowledged the sacrifices of their families. "I cannot speak highly enough for the parish," he said. OLS is one of about 1,000 parishes in the United States that has the devotion.
In 1981, Pope John Paul II instituted Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration at St. Peter's Basilica and encouraged parishes to do so.

Today, another success story about folks just like you and me who have overcome their disability and gone on to success.
Ralph Braun
The late founder of the Braun Corporation, one of the leading manufacturers of wheelchair accessible vehicles, and named "a champion of change" by President Barack Obama, Ralph Braun was a man who thrived on bringing the freedom of mobility to people with disabilities.
Born with muscular dystrophy, Ralph started his career in 1966 when he created the first wheelchair accessible van with hand controls and in 1991 Ralph's company, BraunAbility, created the first accessible minivan. His vision has brought mobility via four wheels to millions of people around the world, and despite passing away earlier this year, his legacy will never be forgotten.

Jan passes by so fast, and I decided to give myself and team a longer CNY break from 23-26 Jan. Time flies, before we knew, we have to begin our work tomorrow.. Somehow the beginning of a year always serve as a good reflection of past year growth, as well as setting milestones for the coming future.
Early this year, I have just discovered an ex-staff of mine has started her own event cum wedding planner company for a while, initially there were mixed feelings and emotions within me. She was one whom I have high hopes on and invested much, and one whom I believe we could grow the company with... but everything happens for a reason...
A friend of mine who is in the same business used to asked me, "Hannah, how do you manage your gals, aren't you afraid they will ever steal your trades or duplicate the business models for themselves??". My answer then was simple : People will come and go, if I have called this company Heaven's Gift, it must be a gift from God to me, and to the people that have come in contact with, esp the employees. Everyone He brings in has a role and purpose for the establishment of the company, as well as for the purpose of fulfillment for his or her life"
Truly, during this period, my words are tested. Yes, it is painful and disappointing to let my gals go for any reason. Having now being as an entrepreneur for last 8 years, I have also discovered, I am given with a vision of what Heaven's Gift will be , and my role is to be a faithful steward who will run with the vision set for me without regrets and fears, and God will always provide me the right resources for the right time. Now I looked back, I still believe strongly each talent is a gift from God, every staff was given for an assigned role. And my team has made a difference in what Heaven's Gift is today, and most of all, a difference in who Hannah is today as well.
Yes, it took me a while (few weeks) to ponder whether to upload this posting. I decided if I am a true blogger to share my life as a dreamer and an entrepreneur, I have to be transparent about my journey growing a business. Every blog is a true expression of the real Hannah within. A company is organic, change is inevitable. But one thing I am sure, the people I have trained will always be a part of Heaven's Gift, no matter where they will eventually venture to. The company has made an impact in who they are today, and will continue to be. My passion is to keep believing in new talents, keep training and investing, keep trusting and growing till the day the Lord asks me to stop and redirect me to another path or journey. To God be all glory.

My friend Will and I made some benches for students to sit on when attending my courses. Will had seen these made and used as trestles by carpenters in Romania.
Two four inch diameter logs are split in half to form the legs. One end of each leg is reduced to a wedge shape as you can see below.
We marked the shape of the leg tops onto a Wych Elm log with charcoal and then made a series of cuts
then I chiseled out wood with a knife and batton to form the grooves for the legs to go into.
Each leg was then knocked into its groove and if necessary minor adjustments were made to produce a tight fit.
Once all four legs are in, you can cut off the bottoms of the legs to achieve the ideal height.

Lighting. We need a relaxed and cozy ambience in the bedroom. The lighting plays an important role in creating that. It can set the tone for the room which will help you unwind after a hard days work. Lighting is the bridge that creates a transition between totally awake state to deep sleep. Let it be a smooth transition. Apart from the ambient lighting you need specific task lighting for different requirements like dressing and grooming, retrieving things from the wardrobes, drawers and shelves, reading and so on. Make sure that enough lighting is provided to take care of all these needs. Accent lighting can enhance the decor of your bedroom by highlighting the artwork, special paints or textures on a wall, accent furniture, displays or any other decorative features.
In a regular city home or apartment wherein the bedroom reflects contemporary design, it remains to be plain and stark in which simplicity is really evident. Another difference is the use of shapes. In contemporary bedroom design, a rectangular shape is primarily used. This shape is thought to be effective, but at the same time beautiful, which is why there is no emphasis on decors to be placed. In other forms of bedroom design, round shapes (including ovals) are more common.

Carelle Streetstyle: Festival Fashion
"Carelle Streetstyle" is something that I want to do more often, something that allows everyone a chance to showcase their fashion sense and also gives you the reader wider perspective of trends and how different individuals style those trends. Too often we are bombarded with perfect images of made up girls, not only through designers using models but also big bloggers...who look amazing and unfortunately sometimes staged. Now I know that's not always true but lately I've been feeling more and more that a lot of fashion blogging has an element of staging outfits, whereby you wear something, go outside and take a picture and then perhaps come back inside and change (I don't know this for certain but it's what I imagine might happen). They talk about shoot days often, which is very similar to what we see in magazine and campaign workings. Though it might sound like I'm complaining I assure you I'm not because I too fall into that same category and I understand that doing that is another way to showcase style and generate outfit inspiration. But for me and my blog I want more than that, not just for you guys to see me styled and posing in a garden again and again but to see pictures of girls wearing their outfits out in the everyday world. So, that long spiel is basically what I want for Carelle Streetstyle lol.
As I've been to Glastonbury festival I thought this was the perfect chance to start this subsection of Carelle as people's fashion were on point! I've been to the festival 4 times now but I was so impressed with how girls stepped up their fashion sense this year. I felt so inspired by others and I hope you do too by looking at some of these outfits. Themes I noticed from this year's festival was of course kimonos, but particularly long ones and those with fringed detailing..they were everywhere. Bandanas were popular for both men and women and bum bags have made a comeback, which I love and I have to say I predicted would happen (I told my brother in January that I really wanted a Louis Vuitton one or a black studded one and he laughed at me...who's the fool now eh?? ). I also noticed quite a few sparkly and sequins dresses at the festival which did surprise me as it's not something I would necessarily associate with festival fashion but I loved the idea all the same. It was so fun noticing trends and a lot of time was spent in our camp talking about festival fashion, what looks good and what doesn't, what we were surprised to see and what were the usual outfits. I really loved interacting with these girls I met and complimenting what they wearing, particularly when they smiled about it. I do hope I was able to boost their confidence because too often us girls feel self-conscious in this day and age. If only I was able to take a lot more pictures of outfits as there were so many amazing ones but unfortunately I was quite inebriated for most of the festival so these are the ones I managed to take while functioning appropriately lol. Hope you like them and feel as inspired by these girls' personal styles and I was whilst there.

Will Basic Skin Care For Acne Help My Face
Skin care for acne consists of progressive regimen of basic hygiene, topical anti-spot creams, and prescription medications.
If you have acne, your skin care should begin with a review of your basic hygiene. This does not mean that you should scrub your face hard multiple times a day. Instead, consider the following regimen for skin care for acne.
When you wake up in the morning, use a mild soap such as Dove and wash your face with warm water using your fingers or a soft cloth. Do not use a rough wash cloth, loofah, or sponge and these can irritate the face. Also, do not massage the soap into the pores. Once you have cleaned your face, you should rinse it with warm water and pat it dry with a thick towel.
Do not apply any creams or cosmetics for at least 10 minutes after you wash your face. This gives the face time to rest and air dry.
In the evening, you can do a similar routine before bedtime or you can try a natural skin care for acne technique. This involves making a mixture of equal parts fresh cucumber and lime juices and applying the juice to your face before taking a hot bath. After the bath, rinse the mixture off with lukewarm water.
Another acne skin care treatment is to make a mud mask from 1 tsp. of green clay powder and 1 tsp. raw honey. Apply the paste to your face, avoiding the eye area. (Some people enjoy placing cucumber slices over the eyes). Leave the mask on for 15 minutes and then rinse off in warm water. You should do this 3 times per week.
If none of these skin care for acne techniques work, you will need to see your doctor or a dermatologist about stepping up your treatment.
A physician can steer you towards the right topical creams for acne sufferers. Many of these creams are available over the counter. Most contain benzoyl peroxide. These creams tend to work best for people with mild cases of acne.
Creams in the 5 percent to 10 percent active ingredient categories work best. Having more than 10 percent of the cream contain benzoyl peroxide doesn't tend to help you any more than 10 percent does.
These creams should not be used more than twice per day. They may cause skin irritation. You should use care when applying them as the creams can bleach fabrics and hair.
If neither improving your basic hygiene nor using topical creams helps to alleviate your acne, you may need to move on to prescription medicines.
One of the most popular medications for acne is Tretinoin, also known as Retin-A. Retin-A increases your skin cell turnover and promotes the extrusion of the plugged materials in the follicle.
Retin-A is a long-term solution. Many people quit using it aver a couple of weeks because it dries out their skin and they don't see any immediate improvement. This is a mistake.
If you are using Retin-A, you should not use any over the counter creams containing benzoyl peroxide as they counteract the active ingredient in Retin-A.
In addition to Retin-A, topical antibiotics with Clindamycin or Erythromycin are often prescribed.
Skin care for acne starts with basic hygiene and progresses to over the counter medications and prescription medications. The best bet for skin care for acne is to start by careful washing of the face.

"You don't really appreciate what you have until it's gone". Sounds like a true sort of statement. I could say this about BibleWorks 8. I didn't really appreciate it until I wasn't able to use it any longer.
For the better part of the last 6 months the laptop that housed my BibleWorks 8 has been in and out of the shop. When I first installed BibleWorks 8 I was thrilled but it wasn't until I had to go back to working with books, lexicons and concordances that I realized what an amazing program the great folks at BibleWorks 8 had come up with and how much I missed it.
Today I have the great honor of reviewing this software that was graciously given to me by Mr. Jim Barr, Seminary and Pastor Relations Manager for BibleWorks who in no way asked me to give a positive review in exchange for a free program. Continue reading

Just Say No Again
The old failures of new and improved anti-drug education
I'm at the February 2001 Teens at the Table conference, a feel-good event sponsored by a coalition of Los Angeles youth organizations and high schools. It's designed to boost self-esteem and teach teenagers how to make smart decisions. In one of the sessions, a group of students is about to learn how easy it is to stay off drugs. It doesn't require anything as lame as red ribbons or "Just Say No" chants. It just takes knowing what constitutes a healthy decision -- one that is all your own -- coupled with a little real-life practice.
The kids test their skills with a role-playing skit. The scenario: Two girls are walking home from a party late at night when a car full of boys pulls up to offer them a ride. "The boys have been drinking and smoking," the script reads. "Trouble is imminent."
Here is where the teenagers are supposed to call on their newfound decision making skills in choosing whether to get into the car. They're asked to think about their options, weigh the consequences, and decide what to do based on what would be best for them -- no judgments, no right or wrong, none of that thoughtless Just Say No stuff from the 1980s and early '90s. Today's drug prevention lessons, scientifically crafted and tested, are supposed to be all about teaching teenagers how to make choices, not telling them what to do; respecting their autonomy, not treating them like ventriloquist's dummies.
So the teenagers choose. If they don't get into the car, they walk home and everything is fine. But if they do...
Boys: Hop in girls! (Eventually the boys get out of hand and come on to the girls.) Girls: Stop it! Boys: Come on, it will be fun! Girls: No! (Car accident.)
The teachers say there's a choice here, but these kids aren't stupid. They can stay out of the car and live, or get in the car and die. So...just say no.
Dare to Keep Your Kids off DARE
That three-word mantra "Just Say No" became a national punch line for a reason: It didn't keep kids away from drugs. Drug use among teenagers dropped steadily from the early 1980s until 1992, mirroring a decline in drug use among adults. But this downward trend began before the anti-drug curricula developed in the 1980s, exemplified by Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), could have had any impact. The drop was detected in surveys of students who had never heard of DARE or Just Say No. And by the early 1990s, when students who were exposed to DARE and similar programs in grade school and middle school reached their late teens, drug use among teenagers was going up again. In the 2002 Monitoring the Future Study, 53 percent of high school seniors said they had used illegal drugs, compared to 41 percent in 1992. Past-month use rose from 14 percent to 25 percent during the same period.
Meanwhile, the leading model for drug education in the United States has been DARE, which brings police officers into elementary and middle school classrooms to warn kids away from drugs. DARE claims to teach kids how to resist peer pressure and say no to drugs through skits, cartoons, and hypothetical situations. Founded by Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates in 1983 and organized as a nonprofit corporation (DARE America) in 1987, DARE is still used in around three-quarters of the nation's school districts. At the annual DARE Officers Association Dinner a few years ago, Bill Clinton's drug czar, Barry McCaffrey, declared that "DARE knows what needs to be done to reduce drug use among children, and you are doing it -- successfully." But as McCaffrey should have known, the effectiveness of DARE has never been demonstrated, a fact DARE America itself implicitly conceded when it announced, half a year after the drug czar's praise, that it was revamping its program.
During the last decade DARE has been widely criticized as unproven and unsophisticated. In one of the most damning studies, published in 1999, a team of researchers at the University of Kentucky found that 10 years after receiving the anti-drug lessons, former DARE students were no different from non-DARE students in terms of drug use, drug attitudes, or self-esteem. "This report adds to the accumulating literature on DARE's lack of efficacy in preventing or reducing substance use," the researchers noted. In a 2003 report, the General Accounting Office reviewed six long-term evaluations of DARE and concluded that there were "no significant differences in illicit drug use between students who received DARE...and students who did not." The surgeon general, the National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Department of Education also have declared DARE ineffective.
Determined not to repeat past mistakes and prodded by a federal government that lately has been demanding accountability in education, teachers today are turning to prevention programs backed by "scientifically based" claims of effectiveness. In 1998 the Department of Education, concerned that money was being wasted on a mishmash of ineffective programs, decided to fund only those proven by "scientifically based research" to reduce or prevent drug use. Testimonials and we-think-it's-working assurances like those cited by DARE would no longer pass muster. Every prevention program now needed hard numbers, objective experiments, and independently reviewed conclusions based on long-term follow-ups to prove they worked.
In 2000 the Department of Education convened an expert panel that judged nine prevention programs "exemplary" for their proven effectiveness and 33 others "promising." Comprised mostly of educators and health professionals, the panel gave the "exemplary" or "promising" nod only to programs backed by at least one scientific evaluation of effectiveness (DARE did not make the cut). Schools using programs that were not on the list would risk losing their slice of the Department of Education's $635 million drug prevention budget. In 2001 President George W. Bush included the "scientifically based research" criterion for drug education in his No Child Left Behind Act, signing into law what had previously been only administrative practice.
But the officially endorsed alternatives to DARE aren't necessarily better. Once you remove the shiny packaging and discard the "new and improved" labels, you'll find a product that's disappointingly familiar. The main thing that has changed is the rhetoric. Instead of "Just Say No," you'll hear, "Use your refusal skills." The new programs encourage teachers to go beyond telling kids that drug use is bad. Instead, they tell teenagers to "use your decision making skills" to make "healthy life choices." Since drugs aren't healthy, the choice is obvious: Just say no.
The persistence of this theme is no accident. Prevention programs can get the federal government's stamp of approval only if they deliver "a clear and consistent message that the illegal use of drugs" is "wrong and harmful." But this abstinence-only message leaves teenagers ill-equipped to avoid drug-related hazards if they do decide to experiment.
After examining some of the new anti-drug curricula and watching a sampling of them in action, I strongly doubt these programs are winning many hearts and minds.
The Class Struggle Against Drugs
In September 2001, I join a class of middle schoolers in the upscale Los Angeles suburb of Palos Verdes Estates as they run through a series of hypothetical scenarios ostensibly designed to put their decision making skills to work. The program, called Skills for Adolescence, is used in about 10 percent of the nation's 92,000 K-12 schools. The curriculum, which the Department of Education deems "promising," "teaches the social competency skills young adolescents need for positive development," according to program literature.
Clustered into small groups, each student fingers a wallet-size blue card. The card -- titled "Will it lead to trouble?" -- lists the five questions adolescents should ask themselves when confronted with a difficult choice. It's laminated, presumably so teenagers can keep it in their back pockets and whip it out whenever they're faced with a tough decision and need a quick reminder about how to make one.

A biomaterial is any engineered substance that is placed in human body for therapeutic (treatment/ augmentation/ repair/replacement/restoration) or diagnostic purposes. The science of biomaterials is about more than 200 years old. The experiments for biomaterials used in dental science, first began in 1900s by G.V. Black at Northwestern University. He did experiments on dental amalgam.
Properties of Biomaterials
- Modulus of elasticity of implant should be comparable to bone (18 GPa)
- Implant material should have high Tensile and compressive strength.
- Dental materials should have high Yield strength and fatigue strength
- Implant materials should have at least 8% Ductility
- The surface tension, surface energy, surface roughness of the materials should be evaluated. Wennerberg and coworkers have classified implant surfaces according to surface roughness: Minimally rough (0.5-1 m), intermediately rough (1-2 m) and Rough (2-3 m); the implant surfaces can also be divided according to their texture: concave texture and convex. The implant surface can also be classified according to type of surface irregularities like isotropic surfaces which has similar topography regardless of measuring direction and Isotropic surfaces which have a clear direction and considerable variety in roughness.
- Biocompatibility of the materials should also be assessed in terms of corrosion resistance. Crevice corrosion (at narrow regions like screw-implant interface), pitting corrosion (occurs in implants with small surface pits), galvanic corrosion (due to difference in electrical ingredients), electrochemical corrosion (oxidation and reduction of metals due to transfer of electrons) etc. Corrosion causes roughening of surfaces, weakening of restoration, and release of elements from metal/ alloy, harmful reactions. Also, the nearby tissues may get discolored and allergic reactions may result from release of elements.
Dental Implant Materials
- Metals which are Bio tolerant - Tantalum, Aurum chromium-cobalt alloys, Stainless steel , Niobium
- Polymers which are Bio tolerant - Polymethylmethacrylate, Polyethylene Polyamide Polytetrafluroethylene Polyurethane
- Metals which are Bio inert - pure titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4U)
- Ceramics which are Bio inert - Zirconium oxide , Aluminum oxide
- Ceramics which are Bioactive - Carbon-silicon

Hey guys, just started playing around with the tool and recognized that I am probably having some issues with importing a mockup from SketchApp to Framer. So, the problem is when I import my mockup, the left side of it looks a little bit cropped. I used iPad Landscape Orientation mockup (2048x1536). My mockup seemed to be well scructured according to the Docs. Do you know what could be the root of the problem? Also, when I use Landscape Orientation mode using Viewer->Device->iPad Air - it just turns black. Providing screenshots for better understanding.Sketch Original Mockup: http://i.gyazo.com/e5323cb317f8612e2220f8d0c196c488.pngWhen imported to Framer.JS: http://i.gyazo.com/e39c11c62d8c775383d52f19314dab5e.pngiPad Air: http://i.gyazo.com/7b16e5d57a425413b580d74794db0f51.pngThank you in advance.
are you sure you have artboart in sketch ?
Okay, I figured out the first problem, just for Sketch-Framer.JS users to know: before importing a mockup from Sketch, be sure that your primary artboard that you are importing is located on position set to 0. That fixes the first issue. Still looking for some workaround regarding iPad.

*Disclosure: I was provided complimentary product in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own and yours may be different.*
Before I get into my review I would like to tell you a little more about the company Kiss My Face. It was founded 30 years ago on a farm in Hudson River Valley in New York. They make natural and cruelty free bath products. Their products include deodorants, foot scrubs, mouth care, soaps, kids products, and even sun care.
I was given the chance to try out their Moisture Shave. I was sent fragrance free and cool mint. I really love the cool mint because the scent was refreshing and invigorating. This shave cream is a 4 in 1. It has vitamin E and natural oils to soften your skin. Then there is the formula which is creme and provides a close smooth shave. Next you have golden seal, aloe, and lemon grass to soothe your skin. Lastly olive and coconut oils moisturize your skin.
I found that the formula lathered up well but was more like a lotion. This did make the shave closer and much smoother than other products out there. I really love that this is not an aerosol and works just as well. My legs are much more moisturized after using this on them.
The Moisture Shave comes in many scents:
- Fragrance Free
- Key Lime
- Cool Mint
- Lavender and Shea
- Green Tea and Bamboo
- Patchouli Moisture
You can purchase it at Whole Foods and Kiss My Face Online for $7.95 (11 oz.) and $4.99 (3.4 oz.).

New Links Between General Education and Business Careers. Liberal Learning and Careers Series.
Warren, Russell G.
The suggestions of business executives concerning the content of a general education program that would assist students in achieving success in business were obtained through a 1982 survey. Questionnaire responses were obtained from 113 respondents in companies ranging in size from 1,000 or more employees to those with 50,000-plus employees. Five categories of skills important for business success were identified: communication skills, analytical ability, interpersonal competence, mathematical skills, and specific behavioral traits and attitudes. The behavioral attributes considered very important to success in business included a sense of responsibility, the ability to adapt to change, self-assurance, independence, and appearance. Attributes that become more important as employees advance in their careers were also identified. The results suggest that assisting students in preparing for careers need not be at the expense of other general education goals. It is concluded that most of the courses now offered in general education programs develop capabilities that are important to success in business; however, the methods of instruction could be important in some colleges for both career and general education objectives. A bibliography, sample questionnaire, and review of related research are included. (SW)

There's a little cave off the main (only) road that runs through Vernazza. If you walk through it, you end up on this rugged little beach. After a bit of research, I discovered that this beach didn't exist until 2011 when the landslides the devastated the region created it. This beach was the only sign I could see that the landslides had occurred at all.
On my last trip to Marrakesh I finally made it out to the Atlas mountains, or the foothills at least. To make this even more interesting we traveled through the foothills of the Atlas mountains on camels. It was definitely an exciting experience with camels going rogue to eat cactus, refusing to walk in the mud, and one even falling down with one of my colleagues perched precariously on top.
Once we survived this adventure, we were on our way back to Marrakesh when our guide pulled the car over so we could see this small Berber village in the Asni valley.
You can see a loaded ferry seemingly on a collision course with the rocks in this photo of Manarola's harbor. What's actually happening is people are boarding as the ferry is nosed up to the "ferry dock". I put the ferry dock in quotes because it's less a dock than a rocky coastline with a couple of cleats on it. The ferry noses up to it, and the crew roll out a gang plank for people to climb aboard as the boat pitches and rolls with the waves.
On my third day in the Cinque Terre, I decided to walk from Manarola to Corniglia. I knew that there would be some walking up involved as Corniglia is on top of the cliffs. I asked at my hotel where the path started and they pointed towards a steep flight of stairs heading up the hill. I asked if that was the extent of the walking up involved and he told me it flattened out at the top of the hill. What I didn't realise is that you couldn't really see the extent of the hill until you were at the top of that first set of stairs. It was far higher than I realised!
Still, the uphill walking resulted in a lot of photos as I needed an excuse to catch my breath.
While on vacation in Provence I took a fantastic drive to and through the Verdon Gorge. On the way, I passed multiple small villages. The route takes you through a large military installation but there's no sign of it as you pass through the forested hills.
This small village, called Ampus, was one of the many we passed by in this region.

I visited Newport in 1972 to visit a Peace Corps friend who had lived in Kandahar, Afghanistan down the road from my compound. I fell in love with Rhode Island and never left after that first day. I started my own law practice in 1975 and for nearly 40 years I have sought to make legal services available to the general public. During that period of time I have had numerous partners and legal associations but in 1999 I decided to return to practicing law in my own manner and style. Since then I have hired three full-time associates and currently have four part-time staff members which include two part-time attorneys. I am a mediator also and mediate with a therapist in a co-mediation model. We mediate divorce, post-divorce and other family cases including elder-law and all other disputes between spouses, partners, siblings or intergenerational family members.
We work in specific areas of the law. We are Divorce and Family lawyers; Wills, Estates, Trust & Probate lawyers with emphasis in Medicaid planning, Special Needs Trusts & "Elder-law". So we work with all families in all of these areas. We also consult, lecture, and practice in the area of Military Divorce Law and we assist lawyers in drafting post-divorce documents called "QDROs" to divide pension assets for divorced husbands and wives.
Briefly stated, estate planning encompasses the process by which people plan to pass what they have accumulated during their lifetime: their personal belongings, their home, their savings, or whatever property they possess, to their spouse, children, grandchildren or other loved ones. Sometimes for charitably-inclined clients, it involves giving, either during lifetime or upon death. In doing so, we help them eliminate the obstacles, pitfalls, and potential family problems, whatever they might be.
No age is too soon to begin the planning process. Obviously the older one gets, and the more property one accumulates, the more important it is to see an estate planning or elder law attorney to discuss the various issues involved. But some of the most urgent estate planning we see involves young people with little or no money or property. We often see clients for the first time when they begin having children. Divorcing couples should also change their plan post-divorce.Having no estate plan in place can be a costly mistake if an unforeseen accident or health issue occurs, so we encourage people of all ages and all walks of life to explore their own planning options.
A will is the most common instrument one considers when they think of estate planning but it's actually just one piece among a whole variety of tools in the estate plan tool-box. For some people, trusts become a better form of document to distribute property. A carefully planned estate with a trust can avoid probate so that the will would be recorded but it will not "speak" or be used. Estate planning can also consider long term care or estate taxes and income tax issues which might not be part of a person's will, per se. Other parts of the estate plan other than the will include powers of attorney, medical directives, and living wills. People sometimes assume that these are less important additions to the estate plan but they often can be the most important pieces in one's estate plan. We've written a lot on our website and in our monthly newsletter about the horror stories that accompany not having these basic documents in place.
There are different types of estate planning attorneys. Some concentrate their practice in elder law and Medicaid issues, some in high-end tax planning, and some in more generalized basic planning with a probate court concentration. We have a holistic approach. There is little that we don't do and little that we haven't seen in all of these areas and so we think of ourselves as a comprehensive estate planning office for any member of the general public.
Estate planning laws vary from state to state, and it's important for clients who have either lived previously in other states, own property in other states or who might have family members in other states to understand this.
For example, each state has its own estate tax threshold. For instance, in Connecticut a person may pass away with up to $2 million without having to fear estate tax consequences. In Rhode Island, that cap is much lower, just a hair over $920,000 for 2014. In Florida there is no state estate tax.
Also, when considering the cost of long term care from state to state, costs vary, as do Medicaid rules. Knowing how to navigate the difficult regulations from state to state can save a client tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
These are just a few of the many interstate issues that we assess with our clients.
Our firm is very pro-active in reaching out to the public. We can be reached easily on the internet by or through our interactive website. We post educational articles on our monthly elder law e-newsletter which is sent out to about 500 recipients, our social media outlets and via other writings that we regularly publish in local newspapers and journals.
Generally we will also schedule free initial consultations in our Newport and North Kingstown offices but we also offer house calls anywhere in Rhode Island or Massachusetts after a telephone contact. We offer a toll-free number which is 1-888-358-8388. Our law practice involves numerous older persons and persons with special needs and challenges. Our attorneys live in Massachusetts and in three different parts of Rhode Island and we enjoy visiting clients in their own homes or elsewhere at their convenience. "Have briefcase, Will travel" to recall a television show from a different era.

Arkaissa stands as home to the true neutral, an unnamed pseudo-race of Arkn and Dekn that have united to be free from the war. The city itself stands atop a giant, green, human-faced deer known as the Stag. This creature is said to have been created by one of the Hethe, Zag'orv, and has since been tamed and controlled by Ellpagg. Eventually, he was able to harness enough magickal energy to conjure up the base city, which has since expanded to castles and houses linked together by a large, magickal brace on the Stag's back. The city is kept in constant motion, as Ellpagg usually steers the Stag close enough to the Aethierium to pick up new members, but far enough away that the Arkn legions cannot assault it, as the True-Neutral are seen as terrorists to the Arkn.
Prince Ellpagg: The First King of Arkaissa.
Aliuume: Queen of Arkaissa.
Proxy Xenith: The co-ruler of Arkassia. Rules while Ellpagg is away
Cecil Xenith: Spokesman for the true-neutral
Sir Neutral: A human prophet; the last known ruler of Arkaissa.
While initially a monarchy, the Dekn co-ruler Proxy Xenith was able to enact the same rules held in the Infinitium, thus rendering society perfected. While it is divided into castes, Ellpagg was able to divide privilege to where everyone was happy, from the nobles to the peasants.
The nobles reside in the Blue District, alongside Ellpagg and the Queen. Their living quarters are designed as floating islands, connected to magickal chains that link into the Stag's collar.
The Arkn District is where the Arkn reside by default. However, Dekn have just as much right to live there if they wish. It's structured to be similar to the Golden City of Elysia, and as such, is gold.
The Dekn District is home to the Dekn, and operates just the same, with Arkn allowed in. The style is similar to the black gold found in the Infinitum.

A spay surgery is a medical procedure that removes ovaries and uterus in a female dog. The procedure is meant to prevent dogs from getting pregnant. It is important to spay your female pet unless you plan to responsibly breed her.
Spaying dogs is a medical procedure that can be done when your puppy is eight weeks old, but adult dogs can be spayed too.
Benefits of Spaying Dogs
Spaying reduces the risk of several illnesses, including mammary gland cancer and pyometra, which is a serious bacterial infection of the uterus.
- The risk of developing ovarian and uterine tumors is lower when a female dog is spayed. These tumors are not very common in dogs, though it is a good idea to take all steps to prevent them from developing.
- Pyometra bacteria are present in every female at about 10 years of age, but they may appear at the age of seven or eight years. If the dog is spayed, there is no risk of this bacterial growth, which can cause the death of your dog.
- A spayed dog cannot get pregnant, which eliminates the need for caring for a pregnant pooch and caring for puppies.
- Spaying will prevent the birth of unwanted puppies. You might not have enough space in your apartment for more than one dog or time to train more puppies. If this is the case, the best idea is spaying your dog.
- By spaying your female dog, you can eliminate the unattractive odor associated with a dog in heat. Unspayed dogs go into heat every eight months. The heat cycle lasts as long as three weeks. Female dogs go into heat throughout their lifetime unless spayed.
Risks/ Disadvantages of Spaying Dogs
Some people are apprehensive of spaying dogs. Some of the reasons include:
- A neutered dog needs fewer calories than other dogs. This is the reason spayed dogs are obese or overweight.
- Another reason why some people don't want to go with the option of spaying their dog is that it may raise the risk of frequent urination in their pet.
- There are cases when a neutered dog doesn't develop her feminine characteristics and continues to behave like a puppy.
- If too many dogs of a breed are spayed, it may result in the extinction of that breed.
- Many of us don't opt for spaying our furry friends because of high costs.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Words have always been a problem for Rick."
Well, I am experiencing some of the same problems. I have started and re-started this review again and again. Not knowing how to put what I want to say, into coherent words and sentences. Luckily, Alex Gabriel does not suffer from this same affliction!
Rick's partner is suspended and he is assigned a new one, Jon, for an undercover job at a gay BDSM club. But whilst working under cover, it is sometimes very hard to separate reality and the job.
I have read all of Alex Gabriels books so far, and there is no denying the author's talent and unique voice. But this is a wholly grown up Alex Gabriel, and holy hell, that Alex Gabriel is HOT! Rick and Jon scorches the pages together!
The story works very well, as it is, as a short hot 'slice of life' story of two cops undercover, Rick is quite well described through his actions and thoughts and Jon comes off as a very likable sympathetic character, even if we do not get much information about him, but I hope to God, that the author plans to run with the set up of the club and the undercover job, because it could be a phenomenal series. Please, please, pretty please?

Homeowners selling their home in the second quarter of 2017 saw their largest profit gain in the past decade, according to the Q2 2017 U.S. Home Sales Report from ATTOM Data Solutions, a multi-sourced property database.
Homeowners who sold their home during the second quarter gained an average $51,000, the highest average price gain for home sellers since the second quarter of 2007's $57,000.
This increase represents an increase of 26% from the previous home purchase price, the highest average return since the third quarter of 2007's 27%.
The reason for this increase could be credited to the rising home prices, but the length of time homeowners live in their homes is also a significant factor.
Homeowners who sold their home in the second quarter had owned their home for an average of 8.05 years. This is up from 7.85 years in the previous quarter and 7.59 years in the second quarter last year. In fact, it marks the longest homeownership tenure since ATTOM began tracking in the first quarter of 2000.
"Potential home sellers in today's market are caught in a Catch-22," ATTOM Senior Vice President Daren Blomquist said. "While it's the most profitable time to sell in a decade, it's also extremely difficult to find another home to purchase, which is helping to keep homeowners in their homes longer before selling."
"And the market is becoming even more competitive, with the share of cash buyers in the second quarter increasing annually for the first time in four years," Blomquist said.
The share of all-cash sales decreased from last quarter's 31.3% to 28.9% in the second quarter. However, this is up from last year's 27.3%, and marks the first annual increase since the first quarter of 2013.

Employment Discrimination Cases Face Uphill Battle in Federal Courts
If you are a victim of employment discrimination, your case is more likely to be dismissed compared with other types of cases, and your chances of winning in court are slim, according to recent studies.
Between 1979 and 2006, plaintiffs in federal cases won 15 percent of employment discrimination cases. In comparison, the success rate was 51 percent in all other civil cases. Even when plaintiffs in these cases do win in court, the decision is reversed on appeal over 41 percent of the time.
These statistics can be attributed to a range of issues such as the lack of minority judges on federal courts and the difficulty in proving employment discrimination, which is often covert.
The recent passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act will give employees a wider window of time in which they are permitted to challenge pay discrimination, but they will likely still face a tough time in court.

It's a Monday morning. There's a tube strike and the bus is absolutely rammed. All the seats are taken and people are cramming into every nook and cranny they can find.
Commuter after commuter climb the stairs searching for a seat — in vain. They slink away back to the shadowy lower deck beneath. Then one brave soul decides to stay there. Sure, there are no seats, but it's a lot less squished than downstairs, he thinks to himself.
At which point the driver plays that message over the tannoy: "Please do not stand on the upper deck or stairs." The commuter retreats back to the sardine-like hell beneath. But why isn't standing on the top deck allowed?
It's more than just sadism on the part of the drivers that makes staying vertical upstairs is a big no-no. Standing on the top deck of a bus in Britain is illegal and it's all to do with physics.
It has to do with a the centre of gravity of a bus — the point at which weight is dispersed and all sides are in balance. On an empty bus, the centre of gravity is quite low, as the bottom part of the bus is heavier.
When people get on the bus, the centre of gravity changes dependent on where they are. If most people are on the lower deck, then the centre of gravity remains low. As more people climb the stairs, the centre of gravity inches up with them. If these people were all standing, the centre of gravity would reach even greater heights.
But what's wrong with a bus having a high centre of gravity?
When a bus is stationary or going in a straight line, absolutely nothing. When it comes to turning, that's a whole other matter. A higher centre of gravity makes a vehicle more unstable. An unstable vehicle going around bends is a disaster waiting to happen; it could easily topple.
Is it likely that one commuter standing on the top deck could make this happen? Not really, the centre of gravity would only slightly rise. If everyone were to simultaneously stand up, however... well, we don't recommend trying it.
So next time the bus driver reminds you not to stand on the top deck, do everyone a favour and listen to the rules.

This is a letter from Mr BJ Park regarding his new offering:
Thank you for your interest in Etude,
Fuselage is the same as Nuance, but main wing, stab and rudder are different from those of Nuance.
The purpose of the change is to make its tracking performance the same as G2's.
Performance of Etude is the same as G2's except the performance influenced by canalizer.
Knife edge loop can't be made smaller than G2 canalizer type makes. G2 easily makes smaller knife edge loop than full up elevator loop.
So all classes do not need the above smaller knife edge loop can use Etude.
Best regards,
B.J. Park.

App Store Submission
|SA Rock
I haven't finalized the price, but I'm thinking 4.99. That means about 3.50 per app: requiring about 100 downloads to break even for this year's publishing costs, and about 60 per year thereafter. Around here I think 100 downloads is a bit overly optimistic, but guidebooks really are more of a community service project than anything else.
|4th Edition
I'll probably try for the Android Store here in a week or two. I'll need some time to recuperate from all the paper work required to get it through the app store.
Feeback on the price.....? Most of the other guides are selling at around print retail - $8 to $30. More for the big areas (2000 routes) less for the smaller local areas (300 routes). I just can't see that making sense for a self-published guide to a bunch of crappy cliffs.

Gorgeous Keisha Grey loves giving her man treats and she served him up something special here as she walked around in her lacy pink lingerie…but he was more interested in tasting Keisha than tasting her baked goods! Soon she had those big perfect tits out to play and was getting her snatch licked up and down, then taking her man's big hard cock in her mouth for some fun…she loves a big hard dick in her hole and took it to the hilt in that pussy of hers, getting fucked hard enough to make her big bouncy boobs go dancing all over the place here on Passion HD. From riding on top with her sexy ass in the guy's face to bending over doggystyle moaning away, Keisha looks amazing from every angle and is always a treat to watch!

Woven tapestry
exhibitions by Irene
send email to Irene
Irene's website
Weaving the natural world is what inspires me. It's a very special experience to sit by a rockpool, capturing a small corner of the rocks, sand and seaweed in woven tapestry before the tide comes in. Or just as memorable, sitting in the dappled spring sunlight on Llanymynech Hill trying to catch the essence of the primroses and dog violets that have sprung up by the side of a former limestone quarry trackway. But there are times when I want to create a much more carefully designed studio piece, and I'm lucky to have a small weaving room on our smallholding, just by Offa's Dyke.
I¶m still learning, doing my best to get a solid foundation in technique and design and building my experience and skills so that I can produce beautifully woven, imaginative and visually appealing pieces.
I have a background in working with communities and heritage, and have found that tapestry weaving can be a really effective and enjoyable way for people to explore the heritage and natural world around them. I plan to be doing more of this in the future.

Baby #7 - 17 weeks :)
Atm I'm very weary! Tired alot! I still have Kaydence and Braith waking several times a night, and we have alot going on atm, a wedding, school/kindy/guide breakups, all the xmas stuff that is going on and also Silas's birthday party (held early so his kindy friends have a chance to attend since its so close to xmas!).
Or perhaps my body has just realised I'm pregnant and not just fat! ;) I also have my 1st hospital appointment next friday at 6.50pm - yes a night time appointment!! For some reason my hospital likes to have the initial appt at night, which is ok this time around as Mike now works a day shift - last 2 times I had all the children with me and it was chaos! Trying to run through all my birth history with the midwife for the file, with children that are usually having dinner/baths/getting ready for bed is crazy!!
I'm almost at the stage that we can find out what we are having!!! and since we are so close to xmas I thought it would be fun to get the gender written down, so we can wrap it and open it up on xmas eve :)
Perhaps a new tradition of finding out what the next baby will be EVERY XMAS EVE! lol! oh I wish! When I look at Braith and he cracks a cheeky smile at me, I feel sad that perhaps this will be my last pregnancy.....most doctors are shocked that this will be my 5th c/s so I'm not so sure I'll get the ok to have another after this baby :( Stupid body!! Not that I would keep having babies foreva! just perhaps one more....in a few years time....

German chamomile has had a long history of calming tummies and lulling bodies into a restful sleep. My husband's Oma and Opa have shared stories of their parents running into the backyard to grab chamomile out of their garden when one of their kids was feeling ill, or simply for a relaxing evening tea. I like to call chamomile's daisy-like flower "the gentle plant" for its soothing nature and readiness to grow just about anywhere it is welcomed. I add lovely chamomile as a tea into my blender and empty smoothie cup.
Chilled chamomile tea makes a fantastic base to a smoothie, and even though it has served well as a night-time tea and tummy-tamer, it's also great for anytime of the day. After a stressful meeting or strenuous activity, use chamomile in the base of a smoothie to help soothe the nervous system and ease digestion. If you are interested in gentle cleansing, but are avoiding anything too strenuous, chamomile could do the trick. It is mildly cleansing with anti-inflammatory properties, making it gentle enough not to apply too much stress on the body.
Enjoy this tasty smoothie recipe using chamomile teas and seasonal fruit:
Ginger Peach Chamomile Smoothie
- 1 cup of chilled chamomile tea (brewed for 5 minutes)
- 1 organic washed peach, pitted
- 1/4 to1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup ice
- Feeling adventurous? Add a tablespoon of hemp seeds to your shake.
- Steep chamomile tea for 5 minutes and chill.
- Add chilled tea and rest of ingredients to blender, blend, and serve.
Enjoy this smoothie as a fresh start to your day, or mid-day snack.

By the time my 6th visit to Reykjavík came around the decision to move had already been taken. That visit was to the Secret Solstice Festival in June 2014 to see Woodkid and Massive Attack and coincided once again with my birthday. The circle had been completed. I had already left my job in Belfast and had decided to take three months off to watch the World Cup and finish the bulk of the remaining work on my 2nd book, 'The Mistake'.
It had been five years since my first visit to Reykjavík and my last experience of the nights that never dim. Compared to the short days and freezing nights that accompany Iceland Airwaves the middle of June could not be any more different. The first day of the secret Solstice festival was all about Yoann Lemoine or as most people know him (those who do know of him anyway), Woodkid. His performance stole the show not only for the first night but he comprehensively outdid Massive Attack as well. Supported by keyboards and a brass section as well as dual standing drummers at the rear of the stage with suspended bass drums he was a sonic experience. On top of all that he had unbelievable visuals projected onto the screen behind the stage that he had designed himself and were jaw-dropping on their own. When he's not writing and performing he directs music videos for the likes of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Ray and Rihanna. His album, 'The Golden Age' is a triumph of originality featuring a huge percussive feel over beautiful and sometimes haunting lyrics. His video for 'I Love You' which was shot here in Iceland can be seen at:
The headliners on Saturday night were Bristol outfit Massive Attack. Tear Drop, Unfinished Sympathy, Protection and Safe From Harm were all played while the crowd spliffed up and rocked out under the midnight sun. It's pretty funny watching a band play at midnight when it's still as bright as it was ten hours earlier. Even though Secret Solstice was only in it's first year of existence it was plainly obvious that they would be back again and with a vengeance. The line-up for the 2015 festival includes The Wailers, Wu-Tang Clan, Agent Fresco and FM Belfast.
As I wandered back to my hotel I knew it would be the last time I saw Reykjavík through the eyes of a tourist. Heading back to the UK this time around would be easier than the previous five occasions as I knew that the experience would only be a temporary one and that I'd be back in Iceland in a couple of months.
And that this time it would be for good.
