Why The Dems Can't Stand Tom Delay & Tim LaHaye
THE MORAL OF THE STORYLou Dubose and Jan Reid's new book, THE HAMMER, a biography on House of Representatives Majority Whip Tom DeLay, is allegedly a story of God, Money, and the Rise of the Republican Congress-and just how Tom DeLay took advantage of Newt Gingrich and fellow Texan Dick Armey's Republican ascendancy and became himself the most powerful man in the House of Representatives. We'll get into the "God part" a lot more than the money and political parts for now-but just to warn you, the King of Tyre (money) and the King of Babylon (political power) have a whole lot to do about this most interesting story.
The Isaiah Effect, by Greg Braden
Why do some prayers seem to be answered while others not? "The secret of prayer lies beyond the words of praise, the incantations, and the rhythmic chants to the `powers that be."We are only using a small part of the "equation" of prayer and those elements that we are missing are emotion, thought, and feeling; it is these elements that when properly aligned are the formula for creation.

Re: who let the owls out
Re: who let the owls out
SeminOWL2006 saidThe color debate has always been silly…if our colors are Blue and Red, who cares if you wear one or the other. I'm pretty sure FSU fans don't get crazy if ur shirt is gold rather than garnet…
If the school wants to push towards blue, simple solution, sell or give away shirts that are blue. easy.
Agreed. Actually, as long as students show up to the games, I don't care what they are wearing.
Re: who let the owls out
The WLTOO guy not only goes to all home games….. but all AWAY games as well. I believe he and his wife have been doing that since the FAU football program started… even though neither are FAU alumni.
While not exactly a big WLTOO fan…. I do think to have an FAU version from the original group (from Ft Lauderdale?) would be a kick. I would match GREYOWL in contribution.

Trademark Registration
DISCLAIMER: These guides are for informational purposes only, and do not constitute professional legal advice. Please consult independent legal advice for information specific to your country and circumstances. Shopify is not liable to you in any way for your use or reliance on these guides.
Word, design, or combination of both that is used to identify the goods and services of one person from those of another person.
—S.2 Trade–marks Act
In the competitive and constantly changing digital marketplace, a trademark is a very valuable asset. It differentiates your business and the quality of your products from those of your competitors. Your trademark carries your reputation with it, and reinforces long-term relationships with your buyers.
It's important to be aware of trademarks not only to protect your rights, but also to ensure that you're not infringing on the rights of others when creating one. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) is responsible for registering and enforcing your rights as a mark holder. They're a resource you can access to gather information, ask questions, check the registry of current marks and begin the registration process. The Trademarks Act is the federal legislation that broadly defines which marks can be protected by law, as well as outlining your rights as a trademark holder and how to enforce them.
Legal Guide Notable Info
Types of Marks
(i) Ordinary Mark — Words, designs or a combination of both.
(ii) Certification Mark — Used by an organization and given to others to identify that their goods meet a certain standard.
(iii) Distinguishing Guise — The shape of goods or the containers that distinguish them.
Before registering your mark formally with CIPO, there are some factors to consider. First, check CIPO registry to make sure your mark is unique. This increases your chances of being approved. CIPO also advises that you hire a trademark agent. These lawyers are authorized to represent you throughout the process, which can be complex. An agent is the best way to protect your rights, especially if your mark is opposed.
There's no legal requirement for you to register your trademark but there are benefits for your brand if you do. Registering your mark gives you the exclusive right to use it in Canada. In the event that someone does use your mark, it's easier for you to take legal action because the registration is enough proof that you own the mark. An unregistered mark holder can only enforce their rights on the basis of "passing off," which is difficult and expensive to prove. A trademark is an asset to your business that is worth protecting, and registering your mark is the best way to do that.
Legal Guide Notable Info
Registered Marks
(i) Property — can be sold/licensed.
(ii) Give the holder exclusive rights.
(iii) Deters others from using it.
(iv) Proof of ownership.
Unregistered Marks
(i) Using your mark for extended time can provide rights.
(ii) More difficult and expensive to bring legal action.
Always remember that the law is fluid and subject to change. Although trademarks are an established area of the law, be sure to stay informed about the changes relevant to you and your business. CIPO is a good resource for keeping up to date and ensuring that your rights are maintained.

woodwork Refined
5917 W 115th Street
Alsip, IL 60803
We work with solid domestic and exotic hardwoods on a daily basis, but we also have extensive knowledge of the veneering process. Thin layers of wood allow the greatest flexibility in design and is an environmentally friendly choice when looking to minimize raw material consumption. All of our veneers are hand selected for beauty and optimization. Veneer sequencing, balancing, matching, and sketch face designs are a few of the ways that veneers can be used to create unique, custom pieces.
Our design process starts with an in depth interview and review of your space to identify the style and functionality you want to achieve. We will take measurements and photographs of your space. A detailed project proposal, including a concept sketch are typically provided within a few days. At subsequent meetings, we can show you different solid wood or veneer samples to help you visualize the grain structure and color that would be appropriate for your project. We can also provide additional concept drawings, as needed. Prior to the start of any project, detailed shop drawings are provided for approval.
Beautiful finishes are a key part of fine furniture. In order to keep close control over the finish process, all of our finishing is done in house. We only use the finest quality products...our stock finishes are imported from Italy. Staining, high gloss/lacquer, painted finishes, glazing, and gilding, are just a few of the finishing techniques we are very familiar with. We can also color match to any color chip or an existing furniture piece you provide. All of our custom work includes a finish sample for approval prior to the start of the finishing process.

Formations are, and always have been, very useful for gaining a tactical advantage over your opponent. In Beyond Protocol you have unprecedented control over the shape, spacing and ordering of these formations. Press F10 to bring up the Formation Creation window. The blue icon with four little triangles on the quick bar also opens this window.
When you first open the window, it is difficult to see the full potential this tool offers you, but it is enormous! The green grid represents the placement of units. The cross hairs of the highlighted boxes represent the location of a move order. In other words, to order the formation to move, the square you click in becomes the center or hub for the units and they will position themselves relative to that location.
The value in the "Cell Size" box represents the spacing between two adjacent units, another factor of cell size is the "safe zone" - the space the unit will keep between it and the closest ship to prevent a collision between units. To accurately create your formations, adjust the cell size to be larger than the largest unit's safe zone. Depending on the exact size of your units, this may be 5-10 as with fighters, or it may be closer to 50 as with battleships. A little trial and error may be required, and should not be feared.
To the right side of the window you will see the "Slot" configuration toggle. Occasionally it will be necessary to use each of these options while placing slots in the grid. The tool automatically increases the number of the slot you are placing, so you can use these to make corrections. The highest numbered entry always has the "D" designation (the last slot in the formation builder).
The final piece of the interface is the "Based On" drop-down window. This attribute determines how ships will order themselves with respect to the numbers. Most unit attributes are available in this window, from cargo space, to armor on the front arc, to radar range, and more. Since formations are editable on the fly you can use the trial and error method.
Now that you are better acquainted with the interface you should think about strategy. One common strategy for battle formations is the tanking tactic (see fun with math). In an RTS game the strategy works as follows: create a ship with an enormous amount of hit points on the front arc, your "tank". When designing the formation, place at least one line of units ahead of the rest to be occupied by your "tanks", then allocate the rearward ranks to the higher damage ships you'd rather not loose. Of course, set the "Based On" entry to armor on the front arc. As long as the enemy does not outflank you, this tactic preserves your more important/valuable ships.
If you find yourself hunting and pecking at an enemy's colony, the radar spread is a great tactic for revealing large portions of the map at once. As was explained above, this is fairly easy when you know the optimum/maximum radar range of the units you are using. There are, however, two different versions of this formation. The first should only be used when you only have a few units - at most twenty-five. This is the method above of using double the radar range in the "Cell Size" box, then fill up the horizontal portion of the cross hairs in the formation window.
In order to use this formation effectively with a smaller number of units, it recommended to designate the middle box as #1, the box right of that #2, left of the center #3, so on and so forth. This effectively creates a line of sight that can be moved up and down the map to "sweep" for enemy units. The second version is much more thorough. Instead of a line, a square or circular pattern can be used. Again, it is recommended to start the numbering at the center and work outward. The major difference with this method is the calculation for cell size. To actually reveal ALL of the area covered by this formation, the number you need is no longer what is between units left, right, up or down from each other, but rather diagonally. To find this take a look at More Fun With Math.
Once you have this net formation under which you can see everything going on which is particularly effective when you have an enemy building engineers or buildings and you need to "track" them!
A tactic for escorting a convoy would be to place the high cargo hold units at the center with a majority of extra slots at the front and rear. To utilize the wedge formation made popular by medieval knights, put your most defended units at the point and sides of a triangular configuration. For separating a number of units/relative attribute value from a group, set a number of those units on one side of the grid and place the "D" square at the other side.
Fun With Math 1
If your goal is to create a formation of beginning fighters that maximize their radar range for scouting purposes, you will want to set the value to be "2*50=100". In fact, that tactic is also very useful when utilizing maximum radar, however, in that case the calculation would be "8*MaxRadarRange". The 8 accounts for the two units' radar range AND the fact that maximum radar range is in a measurement equal to four times that of optimum radar range.
Fun With Math 2
What you are trying to accomplish here is to make the radar of two diagonally positioned ships just barely touch to keep from having holes in your "net". That value is double your radar range, as before, however, the "Cell Size" entry is now equal to ((2*RadarRange)2/2)1/2. In other words, your radar range times two, squared, divided by two, then find the square root. To get a rough figure you can multiply your radar range by 1.3 – while this is simpler it will be slightly less effective.

Pakistan is at war with insurgent forces led by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The TTP's war objective is to take over political control of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The TTP's signature weapon is fear. The TTP's military strategy is unconventional – fidayeen attacks, suicide attacks and bomb blasts. The TTP's military goals are: to isolate Pakistan; to mutilate governance and then gain complete control over each and every kilometre of 796,095 sq kilometres we call Pakistan.
Insurgent force: The TTP is dependent on three factors – a geographical safe haven, a financial pipeline and supply of manpower.
Counter-insurgency: Pakistan Army's XI Corps is the counter-insurgent force fighting to establish Pakistan's writ over each and every kilometre of 796,095 sq kms we call Pakistan. XI Corps' military objectives are: to disrupt, dismantle and destroy the TTP.
Counter-insurgency implementation: XI Corps is responsible for 'clearing' each and every TTP-held geographical safe haven. The federal government is responsible for shutting down the TTP's financial pipeline. The federal government is responsible for cutting of the TTP's supply of manpower. Counter-insurgency is, therefore, 33 percent military and 66 percent civil.
Economy: Economic power is one of the most critical elements of national power. Pakistan's economic security depends on at least six factors: energy security, national debt, economic equality, human capital, industrial production growth and the right priorities.
Energy security: In 2015, Pakistan will lose around Rs700 billion of GDP because of power outages (that is the equivalent of our annual defence budget). In 2015, Pakistan will lose around Rs300 billion in line losses (that is the equivalent of what the entire army spends in a year). For the record, Pakistan's installed capacity stands at 23,040MW but in 2015 Pakistan will produce an average of 11,000MW per day. To be certain, power outages are not because of lack of generation capacity but because of lack of governance.
National debt: On August 18, 2008, the day President Musharraf resigned, per capita debt stood at Rs40,000. On September 8, 2013, the day President Zardari resigned, per capita debt stood at Rs80,000 (we took on more debt in five years than we had done in the preceding 60 years). As of the last day of December 2014, per capita debt was recorded at Rs103,000. If the trend persists, per capita debt will cross Rs200,000 by 2018.
Economic inequality: Over the past 10 years, an estimated 90 percent of the wealth generated in Pakistan has gone into the coffers of the top two percent of the population. The income and asset gap between rich and poor continues to widen by the hour; the rich are getting richer, the poor poorer. The economy is getting more and more cartelised and the cartels are becoming more and more powerful – the power cartel, the oil cartel, the sugar cartel, the cement cartel, the banking cartel and the land mafia. One, there is an inverse link between income inequality and social cohesion. Two, crime rate and income inequality are correlated.
Human capital: Pakistan's ranking in the Human Development Index is at 146th position out of 187 countries. India and Bangladesh are ranked at 135th and 142nd, respectively.
Industrial growth: Pakistan's industrial growth rate peaked at 13 percent in 2004. In 2009, it turned negative and has since hovered around three percent.
Priorities: Rs260 billion for Hyderabad-Sukkur motorway. Rs44 billion for the Rawalpindi-Islamabad metrobus. Rs15 billion for Operation Zarb-e-Azb. Rs0 for the National Action Plan.
Conclusion 1: Counter-insurgency is a civil-military effort; 33 percent military and 66 percent civil. Conclusion 2: Economic security is the grossly neglected dimension of Pakistan's national security. Conclusion 3: Pakistan's energy security is a governance issue. Conclusion 4: Our economic priorities are all messed up.

Choice and installation of autoacoustics, ch.3 (crossover and amplifier)
After the quantity of components of autoacoustics and a place of their arrangement is defined, it is necessary to think of their connection to an audiosignal. For this purpose we need two types of devices. One of them the amplifier who serves for strengthening of low level of a signal, and another – the crossover which serves for division of frequencies according to channels of acoustics.
Choice and installation of autoacoustics, ch.2 (subwoofer)
InfoAdvisor.net already told about Basic Elements of automobile acoustics. Also, one of important components of high-quality sounding is good reproduction of low frequencies. Such device as a subwoofer also intends for these purposes just. It represents the separate speaker system for reproduction of low frequencies (20-100gts).
Choice and installation of autoacoustics, p.1 (loudspeakers)
Before going to car service for autoacoustics installation, it is necessary to have at least small idea of where and that you want to place. It will help fitters to understand that you eventually want from them. The correct installation of loudspeakers will be the decisive link defining quality of all speaker system.
How to choose the autoradio tape recorder
Any modern car does not do without musical system. On all new cars already in a basic complete set are established the radio tape recorder together with columns. Quality of such system depends, first of all, on car level. Every year producers of automobile audio equipment let out more and more models of autoradio tape recorders, both budgetary, and equipped so to speak "against the stop".

After achieving my degree in graphic design, I worked as an advertising/design production coordinator for about 8 years. My first job in the printing industry came a little more than 20 years ago when I joined Crouse Printing and Mailing.
The merger of Crouse Printing with Printec Press and Custom Color Graphics brought about many added services and capabilities under one company, Premier Print Group. Our expanded offerings along with great personalized customer service puts us way above the competition.
The thing I like most about my job is the interesting people I work with. Each account has its own unique needs and I enjoy the variety of their projects.
My personal philosophy is: Go above and beyond what's expected to help my clients. I want them to always know I am their go-to person for whatever type of project they are working on.
My husband Glen and I live in Savoy, Illinois with Deke, our Westie. I have always loved to travel and have been to Hawaii, China, and many places in Europe, with Paris being my favorite. I also enjoy playing golf when I can find the time.

The USM School of Music returned home to the historic Corthell Concert Hall for its 27th year to celebrate its students at the "Home for the Holidays" scholarship gala on December 1.
After years of hosting the gala at USM's Abromson Center and the Westin Hotel, the choice to hold the event at the School of Music was a strategic one.
"It's a chance to bring our biggest supporters into our place of work," Alan Kaschub, director of the USM School of Music, said.
Corthell Concert Hall is the building where generations of musicians have learned their craft. It is a place of hard work, dedication and passion that has set the School's graduates on the path to the future, he said.
Last year, the School celebrated a 100% placement rate for its music education graduates, who serve more than 16,000 K-12 students in the state of Maine each year.
"Our guests support music scholarships, which are so vital to bringing talented performers and future teachers to our state," Kaschub said.
This year's gala was an opportunity to celebrate in an historic venue on the Gorham campus and also to look ahead. On the horizon is a new USM Center for the Arts, which is part of the master plan for the Portland campus.
"A new center for the arts in Portland has been a long-time dream for USM's School of Music," said Kaschub. "On December 1, we came together in Corthell Hall to celebrate and support our students and imagine what the future will bring for the School of Music."
This year's event included a reception with seasonal hors d'oeuvres by Sodexo and live music by USM's Jazz Combos. Small ensembles such as the wind quartet, string quartet, vocal jazz ensembles and harp were featured throughout the evening over food and drinks.
Shortly after, guests made their way into Corthell Concert Hall for a special concert featuring music by the Opera Workshop, Musical Theatre program, chamber winds, solo piano and a closing performance of Leonard Bernstein's monumental "Make our Garden Grow" from "Candide," featuring the entire School of Music student body.
The evening concluded with a silent auction, raffle drawing and scholarship round, where guests made pledges to support the Peter Martin and Robert Russell Scholarships. In 15 minutes, gala attendees raised more than $25,000 for these scholarships.
Last year's gala raised about $48,000 for music scholarships. This year's goal was to complete fundraising for the endowment of scholarships in honor of two recently retired and distinguished music professors, Dr. Robert Russell and Dr. Peter Martin. Endowing these scholarships will further strengthen a program which has shaped the musical landscape in Maine for decades and will ensure that the School of Music's offerings remain accessible for talented students of limited means.
In order to endow these scholarships so they will benefit students in perpetuity, a total of $20,000 is needed in each scholarship fund by December 31, 2017.

January 9, 2007, Chicago – Before a standing-room only crowd of 120+ at ProMat 2007, the international material handling and logistics event sponsored by the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), SPEDE Technologies presented a case study on the RFID Shipping solution it implemented for an automotive supplier that needed to control and error-proof its pallet labeling and trailer loading processes.
The presentation illustrated how a Tier Two automotive supplier uses RFID tags, embedded in barcoded master labels, to achieve 100% accuracy in their trailer loading process. It explained the physics and business process issues that were addressed, and showed how a company can efficiently integrate RFID into existing barcode-based processes. The case study included a 4-minute video showing the actual RFID system in use, from creating and applying the RFID master labels, to loading the trailer via an RFID portal at the shipping dock.
A free CD of this presentation and video is available upon request.

text: If Your Dad Doesn't Have a Beard, You've Got Two Mums by The Beards Artist: The Beards Title: If Your Dad Doesn't Have a Beard, You've Got Two Mums Catalogue Number: No catalogue number Review Format: EP Release Year: 2012 Australia was once a place where the British Empire sent their criminals. In hindsight, they f*cked up royally. Descendants of said felons are getting the best of the weather and are more likely to have a job than the descendants of their former next-door neighbours. In addition, Australia has The Beards and their wonderfully-named EP signals their intent to exert their hairy-faced superiority over the rest of the world. The EP begins with the title track. It's a little bit country, they're a little bit beardy. In little more than three and a half minutes, they lament the day that your father taught you how to shave and cast doubt upon the gender of your father. Hard-hitting stuff. This is probably what The Darkness wanted to sing about before finding that they couldn't grow beards themselves. The pogonic proselytising continues on "You Should Consider Having Sex with a Bearded Man," which smacks of a much hairier Van Halen. Even the ladies – or worse, a non-bearded man such as myself – will find themselves singing along to the chorus. "Got Me A Beard" is the ultimate ballad for the beard lover. This song will leave every bearded listener with a tear in his beard. Just think: if Freddie Mercury had managed more than just a moustache, he might still be around. Well, maybe not, but you get the point. This band may be the silliest group around, but the music is good. Get a beard and get it bought. https://www.facebook.com/TheBeardsAustralia Reviewer: Peter McGee Review Date: April 25, 2013

After 2 hours since the initial report, the woman is still missing. Life boats have been dispatched and there are two helicopters trailing the ship that are also involved in the search. US Coast Guard is working with the Cuban government to combine their efforts and take the necessary steps to locate the missing person.
It pains us to report that multiple sources are confirming that a woman is currently overboard on Mad Decent Boat Party. As the story is quickly evolving, some are indicating that the woman may have jumped, rather than falling overboard.
An announcement was made to the passengers that a person had fallen overboard and the boat turned around to the last known location in an attempt to locate the passenger.
Currently all stages are shut down and all passengers have been requested to return to their rooms as a headcount is conducted to ensure no other passengers are missing.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the passenger overboard, and we hope for a safe rescue. We will be closely monitoring this story and will report back when new informaiton is available.
Lifeboats just went out, but holy shit it's dark pic.twitter.com/JhU9UmSmL8

Mystery Skype
This week Johnson School students participated in a Mystery Skype session with another 4th grade classroom in the United States. The goal was to try to guess where the other classroom was located by asking yes/no questions. In order to participate we had to know questions to ask to narrow down their location as well as information about our own state so that we would be ready for any question posed. We had maps of the United States with us as well as iPads during the session to help us. We were able to guess that the other class was located in Illinois. The clue that helped us the most was that they were touching a Great Lake.

The 14.6-megapixel K-7 is Pentax's new top-of-the-range digital SLR, with a price tag to match. Even with Pentax's pretty basic 18-55mm kit lens, it's still going to cost you around £1,050. You can pick up a very decent Nikon or Canon dSLR for this kind of money, so the K-7's going to need some good selling points.
Built to last
Professional cameras need to be built for the job. The K-7 is, with its stainless steel and magnesium alloy body, 77 weather- and dust-proof seals, and a shutter unit built for 100,000 operations. The camera's designed to work at temperatures down to -10°C, and the 5.2 frames per second continuous-shooting speed means it can keep up -- more or less -- with its semi-pro rivals.
You get a live-view mode with sensor-based contrast autofocus (so the mirror doesn't need to flip up for focusing) that also incorporates face-detection capability, and you can shoot hi-def movies using the in-built mono mic or an optional external stereo mic. Movies and pictures are composed and reviewed on a rather good 76mm (3-inch), 920,000-pixel LCD display.
This is all pretty much what the K-7's competitors offer. But some of this camera's cleverest features are on the inside. For a start, the K-7 incorporates optional correction for distortion and chromatic aberration -- two of the trickiest problems for digital photographers. Thanks to these corrections, the otherwise lacklustre kit lens turns in some very good results.
Also, while Pentax's previous anti-shake system was already the best of its type, it's been upgraded for this model. The K-7 features the company's dust-removal and dust-alert system too, whereby the camera shoots a special image which clearly highlights any specks on the sensor.
The K-7 has an enhanced version of the expanded-dynamic-range system used in previous models. Now, you can adjust the camera to hold onto highlight and shadow detail which would otherwise be lost. This and the chromatic aberration and distortion correction are three of the K-7's best features.
Still on the subject of dynamic range, there's a mode in which the camera shoots three different exposures in quick succession and automatically combines them in-camera to produce a high-dynamic-range image. That's clever, although you need a tripod to make sure the images line up properly.

Meet Jenny Martin, Associate
I joined Foot Anstey in 2013, having qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2012. I chose this route into law because after I graduated with a law degree, I wanted to study whilst working and realised that employers were keen to support this route. Foot Anstey is certainly one of those employers.
In 2015, I along with two other Chartered Legal Executives in my team, became Associates. Foot Anstey is supportive of career progression for Chartered Legal Executives within the same lawyer career framework as that of a solicitor which includes opportunities to progress, by way of a promotion assessment process, to Legal Director and/or Partner.
I have been able to deal with a wide range of work since I have been at Foot Anstey and a varied client base, which is challenging and rewarding.
Foot Anstey is a great place to work. They offer a great deal of flexibility and I have always found people friendly and approachable. Whilst we work hard, we get many benefits in return. The focus is very much on developing everyone who works here.

Bah humbug! Britain's pension managers
are a miserable bunch denouncing Christmas parties as too boring, too
forced and too lengthy.
pension managers think they are a good thing, with 45 per cent saying
they go on too long and 37 per cent claiming that they are disruptive. The Diary thought pension managers might need a little Christmas
cheer to distract them from the woes of the current pension crisis. What better way than by making a fool of yourself in front of
colleagues, photo-copying your backside and telling the boss where to go?

North West Ambulance Service is urging members of the public to only call 999 if there's a genuine emergency – after one caller requested shopping and a shower.
Call handlers for the service answer upwards of 50 calls during their 12-hour shifts, many of which relate to serious and life-threatening emergencies.
But every so often they answer a call from someone whose situation is not so urgent.
NWAS has posted a video on its Facebook page in which dispatcher Daniel Kenyon describes taking a call from a woman who had rung 999 because she wanted some groceries and a shower.
The post reads: "Can you imagine working a 12 hour shift like Emergency Medical Dispatcher Daniel, taking at least 50 calls and this being one of them? Wanting some groceries and needing a shower is not a reason to call 999. #MakeTheRightCall."
In the video Daniel describes taking '50 to 70' calls throughout a 12 hour shift.
He said: "We take life threatening, serious calls which are important, but we take some other calls – for instance today a lady called who said she only had cheese and milk in and did not have a shower, and she wanted an emergency ambulance to go round and get shopping for her and wash her."
The MEN reports that other Facebook users reacted with shock and anger in the comments below the post.
Sheryl Seddon said: "People who abuse the service should be fined!"
And Helen R Hacking added: "These time wasters need to be fined or 2 strikes and that's it no more 999 help! Cry wolf..."
Last year the North West Ambulance Service marked the 80th anniversary of the launch of the 999 emergency number by releasing audio of some of the more bizarre calls its handlers have taken.
These include a man who tries to order an ambulance in advance, saying he 'might need it later'; another man whose emergency is that he 'just wanted to go home'; and a woman whose dog has been run over.
But while it's possible to see the funny side, these calls take up vital time and resources that should be dedicated those with a genuine emergency.
Director of operations at NWAS Ged Blezard said: "Our call centre staff work very hard and play a vital role in the care of our patients. There are people alive today because of their actions."

|Chiropractic Care and Ongoing Good Health
Optimal health and well-being depend on more than a consistently good diet and regular vigorous exercise. Regular chiropractic care is needed to derive the maximum benefit from these key ingredients of health.
A properly functioning nerve system is required to efficiently digest, metabolize, and use the nutrition you're obtaining in your daily diet. Similarly, your muscles, joints, and bones need to receive a proper nerve supply to effectively perform all the elements of your exercise routine, including cardiovascular activities and strength training. All your body systems must receive and send accurate, timely information so that your body works well as a unified whole. Your body's master system, the nerve system, makes this possible. Regular chiropractic care helps ensure that your nerve system is functioning at peak efficiency. The result, in combination with the other health-promoting action steps you're taking, helps ensure high levels of health and well-being over the long-term.
Let's say you've been taking some time off from the gym. Maybe you reached the end of your 12-week training cycle and you're taking a week off. It's possible that one week turns into two or even three or four weeks. Life happens, you need to attend to some pressing matters, and going to the gym starts to take a back seat. Before you know it, two or three months have passed by. Suddenly, you're no longer a person who goes to the gym, but a person who needs to figure out a way to get back to the gym on a regular basis. "What happened to me?" you wonder. "Where did the time go?" Now you have to actually exert effort to fit "workout time" into your schedule. You scratch your head and ponder. "I thought I had this all covered," you think, not for the first time.
What happened to you and your well-made plans was entropy, that insidious force in the universe that turns order into disorder. The basic rule is that any organized system, left unattended, will immediately begin to break down. As a mundane example, those piles of papers on your desk keep reaccumulating as a result of entropy. The weeds in your garden? Entropy. The dust bunnies in your attic and basement? Entropy. The collapse of your plan for doing regular workouts? Entropy.
What's worse, entropy takes a serious toll on your physical fitness.1,2 If you miss enough time from the gym, all your fitness gains begin to melt away. First, your muscles begin to lose their stores of energy. Glycogen, the complex sugar that supplies energy for muscle work, is broken down for use elsewhere. Arterioles and capillaries, small blood vessels that were needed to supply nutrients to your growing muscles, are no longer required and rapidly disappear. Muscle fibers that were continually added to support your exercise activities are cannibalized, so that their constituent parts may be used for other physiological processes. Entropy launches a process of randomization that breaks down your carefully built-up muscular structure. Your body, being very smart, metaphorically swoops in and moves all those metabolic components to other structures and systems for more efficient use.
The superficial result is loss of muscle definition. The deeper result is loss of muscle tone.3 Your cardiorespiratory system (heart and lungs), digestive system, and metabolism are all affected, as these physiologic systems are no longer required to be functioning at peak to support a regular vigorous exercise program. Entropy sets in to all these systems, as well. The overall result is a profound impact on your health and well-being.
The good news is we can help keep entropy at bay. But doing so requires attention and determination. We want to attend to our bodies as carefully and regularly as we attend to the environment of our home, office, and garden. Just as our cars, motorcycles, and bicycles require periodic maintenance, our bodies require much more frequent care, care on a daily and weekly basis. It's fine to occasionally skip a week or two, or even a month if needed, of exercise. But we must make sure we get right back on schedule to ensure benefits to our short-term and long-term health.

National Harbor, MD — The American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) honored Mark Iwry with the prestigious Harry T. Eidson Founders Award during the Oct. 21 opening session of the 2018 ASPPA Annual Conference.
Iwry, currently a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC., a Visiting Scholar at The Wharton School, and a Senior Policy Advisor to AARP, also serves as a member of the board of advisors of, or otherwise advises, the American Benefits Institute, the Council of Scholar Advisors of the Georgetown University Center for Retirement Initiatives, the Panel of Outside Scholars of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, United Income, Inc., and Blueprint Income, Inc. From 2009 to 2017, he served as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on employer-provided retirement, health plans and tax policy. Iwry is a long-time proponent of automatic features in 401(k) plans and auto-enrollment in IRA programs.
ASPPA established the Eidson Award in 1995 to honor the memory of its founder, Harry T. Eidson. His belief in the importance of the employer-sponsored retirement system in the United States and in having an organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing such a system was the inspiration for the formation of ASPPA in 1966. A list of previous winners is available at https://www.asppa-net.org/member/eidson-award.
Other industry awards presented at the organization's Nation Conference included:
Educator's Award
The 2018 Educator's Award was presented to Margaret ("Maggie") Younis, ERPA, CPC, QPA, QKA, TGPC. Younis is a Senior Consultant with Lincoln Financial Group with more than 19 years of experience in the industry.
The Educator's Award was established in 1997 to recognize and honor outstanding educators. It is awarded to an ASPPA member who has made a significant contribution to retirement plan education.
Edward E. Burrows Distinguished Achievement Award
At the annual ACOPA Actuarial Symposium in August, longtime ACOPA member Norman Levinrad was presented with the 2018 Edward E. Burrows Distinguished Achievement Award. Levinrad is the founder, owner and chief actuary of Summit Benefit & Actuarial Services, Inc. in Eugene, OR. With more than 35 years of experience in the pension industry, he has been a frequent speaker at national pension conferences for the past 25 years and has served in many leadership roles in the profession.
The Burrows Award is presented annually to a pension actuary who has, by his or her actions, set an example for other pension actuaries. This is an actuary who has gone above and beyond in forwarding ethics, education, beneficial legislation or regulations (or such other actions as the selection committee deems appropriate) that enhance the private pension system or the professionalism of enrolled actuaries within the private pension system. Burrows was a beacon in this regard, and ACOPA honors him by presenting an award that recognizes those who follow in his path.

Matt and Ally wanted a homely, country style feel to their new kitchen. Part of an extension running across the back of the house to incorporate a new kitchen, utility room and a small seating area. The kitchen and living space more than doubled on this project with light flooding in.
A shaker style door in Mussel was chosen with Pitch pine ultra matt worktops, Bosch and Caple appliances, ceramic sink and Abode tap.

4. Plank
The plank (also called a front hold, hover, or abdominal bridge) is an isometric core strength exercise that involves maintaining a difficult position for extended periods of time.
From a pushup position, bend your elbows and rest your weight on ytour forearms. Your body should forma straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Brace your core (as if you were about to punched in the gut). Hold for 3 seconds. That's one set.
5. Curtsy Lunge (Crossover Lunge)
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands on hips.
(a) Keep your chest and eyes up , shoulders squared. Cross your right leg behind your left, and bend both knees, lowering your body until your left thigh is nearly parallel to the floor
(b) Return to start and repeat, switching sides.
Main Muscle Worked: Lower Back
Other Muscles: Abdominals, Abductors, Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps
Important Tips:
Enhance your weight-loss by following these diet tips from Leslie Bonci, R.D., M.P.H., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and coauthor of Run Your Butt Off!
Take a note:
A study found that kept daily food logs lost twice as much as those who didn't. May people lowball how much they can eat-seeing it all in black-and-white can be a reality check.
Find Balance:
Experts say that people with a lot of pounds to lose get overwhelmed by counting calories and give up. Keep it simple by dividing your plate into thirds: 1/3 protein, 2/3 vegetables, and 2/3 whole grains.
Swap Smart:
Restrict foods can increase your cravings and lead to off-the-wagon binges. Jonesing for a cookie? Have it, but swap it for your afternoon caramel macchiato or pretzels.

Study finds women are more likely to engage in distracted driving than men
Published: July 10, 2018
CATEGORY: Uncategorised
The Society for Risk Analysis has recently a published a US-based study on the dynamics of distracted driving and why motorists continue to drive while texting.
Among the finding is information that shows motorists accept the risks of distracted driving because of the attachment people have with their mobile devices. Many drivers say they have separation anxiety from and a "fear of missing" out if they ignore their device when driving. Data shows people who text while driving are six time more likely to be involved in a collision. In Canada, distracted driving has replaced speeding and impaired driving as the leading cause of road-related deaths in most provinces.
Like Canada, the United States has toughened laws and punishments on drivers caught distracted driving, but numbers continue to increase. Perhaps the most interesting aspect in the results is data that shows women are more likely to use their mobile phone while driving than males. Such information is in contrast to impaired driving, which is more heavily weighted towards men.
Drivers who are experienced are also less likely to engage in distracted driving, with each year of license use decreasing the chance of engaging. The study is titled "Should I text or call here? A situation-based analysis of drivers' perceived likelihood of engaging in mobile phone multitasking" and was commissioned by the Society for Risk Analysis.
In the study, 447 drivers in South East Queensland, Australia, answered questions about perceived crash risk, perceived driving comfort, perceived driving difficulty, perceived driving ability, perceived likelihood of engaging in a voice call and perceived likelihood of engaging in texting.
The research team included Oscar Oviedo-Trespalacios, Md. Mazharul Haque and Mark King from Australia Queensland University of Technology, and Simon Washington from the University of Queensland.
The authors say the results from this study may contribute to more targeted distracted driving campaigns by highlighting opportunities for interventions. These campaigns should target safety attitudes to more effectively curb drivers' motivations for engaging with their phones while driving. They say this study also confirmed the need to profile and target high-risk groups, particularly novice drivers and those who are overly attached to their phones, to develop messaging that considers their particular motivating factors.

My mother-in-law brought this skirt from Iran when she, along with her husband, the 10-year-old boy who eventually became my husband, and his sister, moved their lives to the United States in 1979. Frida had so much fun visiting family this weekend in SoCal. We decided to drive down south rather than flying this time—I'm not sure if it was better or worse than flying. When will they finish that high-speed rail??
Skirt: vintage, similar here; dress: William B, similar here; shoes: Robert Clergerie, similar here; earrings: Miguel Ases, similar here; on Frida, Plum Baby dress, similar here.

The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II reportedly got married to Sa'adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the 18-year-old daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa.
The wedding fatiha held inside the Lamido's Yola palace minutes after Jumma'at prayer.
Sanusi already has three wives, Sadiya, the daughter of Ado Bayero who is the late emir of Kano, Maryam and Rakiya.
The Emir of Kano is presently in Saudi Arabia where he is acting as the leader of Nigeria's delegation to this year's Hajj.
He was said to have been represented by the Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Some months back, rumours of Sanusi's marriage to the teenage girl had surfaced but it was debunked.
