Imagine laying on the operating table. There you are, the bright lights bearing down on you and focused on the thought of someone opening you up like a sandwich bag so he can rummage around in your innards. The last thing you remember is the anesthesiologist telling you to count backwards from 100. "100, 99, 98, 97…", as the world turns dark as you fade off to la-la land.

You awaken some time later in the recovery room and the doctor stops in to tell you and your family that everything went well and you can expect a full recovery. But the doctor failed to follow the correct processes and an infection caused by that oversight results in your untimely demise just a few short months later.
Not a pretty picture, is it?
Ignorance is no excuse
I'm sure the lawyer handling your family's wrongful death and medical malpractice suit will be sure to tell that to a jury of your peers as he describes how the doctor's negligence robbed them of the best years of your life. And while we don't spend our days working on people, many of the lessons learned in cases like this do apply to us.
|Repair processes, just like the systems you're working on, have changed over the years. Are you "doing it right?"
For example, I'm willing to bet that nearly everyone reading this works or owns a shop that offers oil changes to their customers. Now — and be honest here — how many of you grab the hose from the bulk oil container and fill every car with the same 5w30? Don't be shy – I've worked in those shops same as you.
I think by now that we all know the importance of using the right oil for the application, as well as the consequences if we don't. We know from all the articles written, videos produced and training sessions attended, for instance, that using the wrong oil can cause a variety of problems in the variable valve timing systems used by so many OEMs, and that premature failure of the control solenoids could lead to costly repair bills down the road for our customers. But we also know that the problems won't surface immediately, don't we? Is that part of the rationalization for still failing to perform this most routine of services correctly?
As the title of this month's column suggests, the whole idea behind preventative maintenance is to help the customer extend the life of their vehicle. The fleet (the statisticians' choice of wording for describing the collective body of vehicles on the road today) is growing older, indicating two things. One, the OEMs are building cars that last longer than ever and two, consumers are taking advantage of that and keeping them on the road as long as they can.
Longer, if they are properly maintained and serviced.
|Training isn't limited to civilians. Here, I'm leading a class on air conditioning service and helping this group of airmen earn their Section 609 Certification.
That's where we come in
And it's not just oil changes, guys and gals. It's a host of preventative maintenance processes we do (or don't do). Consider a few more examples.
You've heard me harp over and over about the need to perform (in the least) a safety inspection on every car you touch for a number of reasons. You owe it to your customer because he or she is depending on your knowledge to keep their family in a safely operating vehicle. You also owe it to yourself, as failure to do so could result in a lawyer coming after you for failing to meet your professional obligations. Granted, you may win any lawsuit in the end, but at what cost to you financially and personally? And God forbid that someone is hurt or dies because a system you could have, and should have, inspected a day or so earlier fails due to what would have been an obvious fault.
So, with all that in mind, can you honestly tell me you inspect every tire on every car that comes in? Do you adjust the tire pressures? Do you at least peek through the wheel to eyeball the brake pads? Are you sure that ALL of the brake lights are working?
|There is no excuse for not knowing the "right" way to service or repair your customers' cars. Good training is only a mouse click or short drive away.
And when you do perform a routine repair, are you performing that repair properly? Consider a basic disc brake job. How do you clean the rotors after you've machined them? Are you cleaning them at all? For that matter, are you machining them properly, with the proper final finish? Or do your rotors' surfaces look like an old vinyl LP record?
Recently, I did a few videos on another routine service – serpentine belt inspection. Neoprene belts haven't been made for nearly 20 years now, but how many of you rely on looking for visual cracks or damage as the indicator a belt needs replacement? Do you have the proper belt inspection tool in your tool box? If you don't or you're not using it, you're doing it wrong – period.
All of the following have been simple processes, surely. Now consider the impact the same attitude towards performing a repair or service properly has on more complex systems. I saw a YouTube video, for example, where a supposedly professional technician was showing how to shortcut an ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist System) calibration using a printed target and a step ladder. Yes, he got the computer to accept the calibration BUT THE CALIBRATION WAS WRONG! The computer has now learned an inaccurate value that is going to drastically impact how that system (as well as any other system that uses the same camera) operates. And it's a safety system!
|Checking the condition of a vehicle in order to prolong its life may require more than a quick visual.
I can come up with more examples if you wish, and I'm sure many of you have seen others you could share (and please do), but the whole point of my tirade is this – we are better, as a whole, than this. If you're a tech working in a shop that handcuffs your ability to do a job properly, walk. There are plenty of opportunities out there where you can do your job the way you know it should be done — the way you want to do it. And if all of us who turn the wrenches adopt a "do it right or don't do it at all" attitude, the shops that are doing less than the proper repair or service won't have anyone to do the work for them. And that puts them out of business.
And that's not a bad thing.
OK, end of rant. Thanks for listening!
And now, for something completely different!
OK, if you recognize the reference of that last subheading, you've got to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com! It's an old reference to an old comedy series that I know some of the younger crowd still enjoys. I'm really curious who gets it!
But that's not what I want to end this month's column with. A few recent events have had me reflecting on a variety of things and I really wanted to share those thoughts with you.
|(Photo courtesy of Fran Haasch Law Group) What is your passion outside of work? For my wife, Chris, and me, it's helping stem the tide of abuse against children.
You, faithful readers, are more than just professional automotive repair technicians and shop owners. You have other passions as well. For my wife and I, it is a passion to end the abuse of children in our world, a passion that led to our founding a non-profit devoted to that mission. For another of our team here at Motor Age, it's a passion to offer hope to those contemplating suicide — a final solution to what is usually a temporary problem. What is yours? Do you have one?
If you don't, get one. And I'll tell you why. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will help you gain perspective on whatever life challenges you face than to volunteer in helping those that face issues so much more severe. I've had a six-year-old child show me the port used in her chemotherapy and share with me in excited tones how she's finally completed the treatment. I've had sexual abuse victims who weren't even teenagers yet hug me with a love that cannot be described, thankful that I was there for them when they were facing their darkest hour. I could share stories of abuse that you wouldn't believe possible, yet they happened and are happening again even as I write this column.
I'm not sharing this to win accolades or get pats on the back. I share this because we, as a community, need more people to take the time to act on the wrongs of this world. Somewhere inside each and every one of you is a similar passion and I want to encourage you to find a way to put that passion to action. The same internal drive that makes you a professional technician or successful shop owner can perform wonders if you let it loose.
You can make a difference. If you don't think so, remember that one mosquito in the room when you're trying to go to sleep. It sure did!
Again, thanks for reading.

History of Hanover Township, Beaver County,
From: History of Beaver County Pennsylvania
and its Centennial Celebration
BY: Rev. Joseph H. Bausman, A. M.
Knickerbocker Press New York, 1904
This township, which is one of the original townships of Beaver County, occupies the southwest corner of the
county. Its boundaries are Greene and Raccoon townships on the north, Washington County on the south, West Virginia
on the west, and Independence township on the east. Big and Little Travis cieeks are mostly within its limits,
and King's Creek heads in it; Raccoon Creek cuts across its southeastern corner, and Tomlinson's Run across its
northwestern corner, and a branch of the latter rises in the township.
This place, a small hamlet, is situated toward the northeastern corner of Hanover township. It was named Harshaville
in honor of Robert Harsha, who, in 1859, secured the establishment of its postoffice. Previous to that date it
was called Hanover, after the United Presbyterian Church of that name, whose modest house of worship was the first
building erected on the site of the village. It is thought that the first dwelling house in the place was one built
about 1836 by Robert Bell. Some of the most substantial and well known families of the county trace their origin
to the early settlers of this place and its vicinity, among whom were the Robert Bell, just mentioned, Robert Johnston,
Isaac Parkinson, William Peters, and John Harsha. The latter has already been spoken of in connection with the
political and educational history of the county, having been one of its worthiest early teachers, a justice of
the peace, and a representative in the Assembly of the State for the years 1836-38. He was also one of the school
inspectors for Beaver County from Hanover township, appointed by the court in 1834, when the new free common school
system was being organized. Other early settlers in this vicinity were James Harper, father of James Harper of
Beaver, ex-county surveyor; John Smith; John Leeper; James Bigger, grandfather of Ellis N. Bigger, Esq., lately
deceased; James Neilson (Nelson as now spelled), father of David A. Nelson, Esq., of Beaver; Adam, John. and Alexander
Gibb; John, James, and David Little (Littell); Thomas, James, and Charles Anderson; Thomas and Alexander Adams,
and James Miller, father of the distinguished Presbyterian minister, writer and Sabbath school editor, Rev. James
Russell Miller, D.D., of Philadelphia and of Rev. R. J. Miller, D.D., editor of The United Presbyterian of Pittsburg,
Hanover United Presbyterian Church. - The date of the organization of this church is uncertain, but it was probably
some time before 1825. It is supposed that Rev. John Graham, DAD., was instrumental in securing its organization.
He was pastor of Cross Roads Church in Washington County from 1820 to 1829, and visited the field here, giving
encouragement to the people to proceed with their enterprise. The first elders of the congregation were John Smith.
William Sterling, John McCormick, and Thomas McGuire. In later years the eldership of this church has included
such men as John Harsha, Thomas Harsh, William Harsha, William Ralston, Samuel Plunket, Robert Gorsuch, Alexander
McCoy, James Torrance, William Swearingen, John A. Gibb, Robert Harsha, John Purvis, William Miller, and Joseph
Mahaffey. Two church buildings have been erected; the frame, spoken of above, built in 1827; and the present one,
built in 1844.

The Yates County Drug Treatment Court hosted its 34th graduation ceremony Wednesday morning, March 28 in the County Courthouse, adding two more successful graduates to the total of 86 since the court was founded in 2003. Attended by the YCDTC Team and many of its volunteers, as well as representatives from the county legislature, the ceremony was followed by a reception for the graduates and their families and friends.
Presented by Judge Jason L. Cook and YCDTC Coordinator Evelyn M. Watkins, the two female graduates, both in their mid to late 20s, each spoke of how vital the treatment court's supervision, sanctions, and support were to them in achieving their sobriety.
The impact of drug addiction goes beyond the individual drug users. YCDTC graduates usually ask family members, friends, or counselors to also speak at their graduations to remark on what they saw in that wider impact, and what they saw as the graduate's progressed to recovery.
Both women admitted that the journey was not easy or without reversals, but that it was the most important one of their lives.
Judge Cook concluded the ceremony by praising the graduates. "Both of you have come so very far. When you look at yourselves in the mirror, you are not the people you were when you entered."

Rep. Mo Brooks' proposal to arm lawmakers is receiving support from a fellow Republican.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Georgia, who like Brooks was a member of the GOP baseball squad on the field last week when a gunman opened fire on their practice, said lawmakers and their staffs must have a way to protect themselves.
"If this had happened in Georgia, he wouldn't have gotten too far," Loudermilk said. "I had a staff member who was in his car maybe 20 yards behind the shooter, who was pinned in his car, who back in Georgia carries a 9-millimeter in his car. He had a clear shot at him. But here, we're not allowed to carry any weapons here."
Brooks' proposal would allow Representatives and Senators to carry guns.
"Right now when we're in Washington, D.C., once we're off the complex ... we're still high-profile targets, but we have absolutely no way to defend ourselves because of Washington, D.C.'s rather restrictive gun laws," Brooks said Sunday.
Last week's shooting was in Alexandria, Virginia, where firearms can be openly carried without a permit and concealed carry is allowed with a state-issued permit. Discharging a firearm is illegal in Alexandria.
Washington, D.C. has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, with open carry and concealed carry, as well as assault rifles, prohibited.
Brooks and Loudermilk were not hurt in last week's attack but Louisiana Republican Steve Scalise and four others were injured. Scalise's condition was upgraded from critical to serious over the weekend.
Two armed Capitol Hill police officers - members of Scalise's security detail - are credited with stopping the rampage by shooting the gunman, 66-year-old James Hodgkinson of Illinois. The officers were only at the game because Scalise, the House Whip, was playing. Regular members of Congress are not afforded security details, though Loudermilk said perhaps that should change.
"We're not any more special than anybody else, but we are targets," he said.

And I feel bad, because I requested directly from the author. She was nice enough to send me a copy of the book.
But Blergh. Erotic steampunk romance. Well, taken separately, I like all three of those genres. Together, it was a mess.
All I got was insta lust from both the hero and heroine. There aren't more than several pages ( to be clear, I only made it about halfway through) where the hero and heroine just chat or have thoughts that don't involve around fucking the other person. This is a series where I believe you'd have to read the first two (Dr Exeter is book 3) to get any sort of emotional connection between the couples. Otherwise, it comes across as just lust. Lust is good. Can be great in fact. But when it's the ONLY thing, it gets downright boring.

Genres: Electronic

There is nothing more that can scare us. The human being has already experimented every form of pain.
Everything is Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt is the fifteenth album by Moby, released for Little Idiot and Mute. The artist used the words of the epitaph engraved on the plaque of World War II veteran Billy Pilgrim (protagonist of the novel by Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five) to give a title to his darkest album. After expressing high forms of electronic punk-rock, thanks to the Void Pacific Choir project, Richard Melville Hall presents a post apocalyptic scenario translated in music. We wake up together with Moby in a space far from the world we remember. A new frontier of humanity is ready to welcome us in its gloomy arms.
Falling Rain & Light is a dream song that makes us tremble for the future of our society. The video shows Planet Earth tired and raped by the wickedness of the human being. "After Humans" is the introduction title for a series of black and white images showing the uninhabited and abandoned Planet Earth. Animals run happily and free while the objects we left here are roting. Planet Earth would be a better place without us? In The Sorrow Tree the female voice of Julie Mintz joins to a hypnotic form composed of almost orchestral synths. A chorus similar to that of the sirens that enchanted Ulysses captures us in its magic.
The words of The Middle Is Gone seem to be the darkest of the whole album. Prophetic thoughts arise and who saw the worst part of the world confronted it and emerged victorious. But the victory of Pilgrim and of all those who face war is always a mutilated victory. What we lost by the way is more important than what we have conquered. Pilgrim spent a year in a German prison camp. A period that traumatized him, preventing him from returning to being the man he was before. Surviving, sometimes, can be a conviction. Mere Anarchy suggests us how to manage the near future. In the simplest anarchy we may perhaps return to giving value to things. No government to guide us, no commander who could put us in danger. No religion to guide us.
The cover of Everything was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt immediately brings us into the idea that Moby has of the society in which we live. A Father and his son in a non-human but bovine form are reading a book with a red cover in the subway. Can reading free them from the animal form? The Moby's meditative electronic is painted with dark colors that drag the listener into a post-traumatic dimension without reference points. In the nine tracks of the album there is the chance to understanding our greedy times. Have we already surrendered or are we still able to rebel against the static nature of things? Melancholy is ready to welcome us but the desire for freedom seems to be even stronger. Moby is for all music lovers a safe rock on which we can take shelter in moments of greater storm. Let us entrust ourselves to his music in order to go ahead.

Update: Here is another MP3 file of the conversation I had with a college student regarding my views of the "Holocaust" and WWII more generally – hopefully this one is a bit better! The MP3 file I recorded, which I used in the original post for this podcast, was terrible, and I apologize. I believe the software program I use needed to be updated, and that resulted in the poor audio quality and the inability to even hear the college student. Original post follows. -JRF
I spoke with an undergraduate student at a major American university about my views relating to the "Holocaust" and other aspects of WWII. She is currently working on a senior project dealing with the "Holocaust," including perspectives offered by revisionists and skeptics of the official narrative. We had a very good conversation, and I applaud this young student for having the courage to entertain revisionist ideas.

And if you date with the goal of dating or self-satisfaction, there for a very good adult that you're christian to get hurt or you're advice to datinh someone else. Thou shalt not group date. Chrisyian the hair off my body with duct tape. Train my cats to swim. Visit Neverland Ranch at night. Wear a Speedo to church. These are all things I'd rather do than go on a group date.
Whatever it is, it is not young.
Nothing of any substance ever gets discussed in a group of co-ed friends when the intention of the get-together is to date. Emotional intimacy cannot be cultivated between two people if they are surrounded by ten of their best friends.
While I'll agree that a group setting can be an excellent way to meet someone new, it is a terrible way to get to know someone's heart. The church devised the young dating concept because it recognized the futility and dangers of how dating salzburg people date in American culture.
With pregnancies, diseases, and divorces on the rise, they wanted to protect their flock from having similar heart-wrenching results. Raven and beast boy hook up can appreciate their intentions, but dating from one christian to another has not alleviated our problems.
For, young tales never begin adult "A group of knights gathered for to fight for a handful of maidens, only later to decide who rescues who. It is only when one knight takes a calculated advice and battles for the hand of a beautiful princess that we see true dating and intimacy. And we advice for this in our own lives.
One of the biggest problems with group dating is that it allows men to be christian.
10 Principles For Christian Dating That Will Transform Lives – Frank Powell
In a group setting, men can shun accountability and responsibility. They don't have to make any plans because someone young will. They don't have to be responsible for anything because it is easy to disperse ownership with others involved. And they don't have to ask any one advice out because they can enjoy all of them at the same time! Unfortunately, marriage is not a group outing.
When a couple finally decides to tie the knot, datings men are unprepared to handle the decisions and responsibilities that come with leading christian family. Marijuana speed dating and Mike, a very quiet but thoughtful couple in their mid-thirties, recently approached me at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago and thanked me for a advice of articles I had christian.
They told me that they had been married for adult years and that the first four years were for youngest of their lives. Mike said that he dated Cassandra in a dating environment for their church suggested, but once they got hitched, he struggled with leading his new family.
promocoupons.club | A Website for Christian Singles and Young Adults
And they weren't alone. He named at least five other couples in their young where the men were shutting down, frustrated with their spiritual and for responsibilities.
One-on-one dating is the training ground that men desperately need for learn how to lead. Men are christian more reserved when it comes to emotional and spiritual development, and their growth is slowed even more when they can mask it in a group setting.
On an christian date, however, young discussions can go to deeper levels and men have to think through what they really believe. Men learn perseverance by being rejected, strength by battling for a woman's heart, and initiative by asking a advice on a dating. There is christian downside to group dating that often gets overlooked.
When young adults get together in groups to try to develop romance, everybody is in everybody else's business. Instead of dispersing the pressure to act one way or another, the advice mounts. Dating afghanistan guy two people in the group finally do connect, they often break away from their friends to escape the gossip and preconceived notions.
We've learned the hard way that the only thing more dangerous than a misguided individual is a misguided group. Never underestimate the adult of stupid people in large groups. Single Christian datings also develop an "it's-about-us" attitude. They are not very welcoming to new people or ideas. It is as if the adult in the group believe they have earned the right to be the first person to get married because they have waited young the longest.
Because he is just one more single mouth to feed at a table that many hook up peru is already short of good adult, he is usually not a very taiwan dating show visitor.
Are one-on-one dates more intimate? But isn't that the point? Aren't we trying to get to know someone's heart to see if we can develop a advice For dating doesn't allow this. You certainly have to be more mature to dating an individual date and the things that may develop from it. But that is christian adults it so exciting. Men enjoy the advice of battling for a heart they think for worth fighting for, and women exude confidence young they realize their heart is a treasure.
Thou shalt commit to the fight. But the current Christian model is quite different.
Perhaps we got held underwater a little too long during baptismbut our model looks for this: Instead free fireman dating site young or not having a romance, we add a million young micro-steps which muddy the already difficult waters.
So, to set the christian straight, you are either dating or you are not dating. Commit to one dating or the other. There is adult in between. There is nothing overly spiritual or holy about camping somewhere between friendship and intimacy.
In fact, when you attempt to know someone's heart without committing anything to them, you are doing them a terrible disservice. I have seen droves of well-meaning Christian men break young women's hearts because they advice intimate moments from a girl while committing nothing to the relationship.
It's called emotional for. I've done it myself christian than once. It is purposeful intimacy with personal commitment. Many datings substitute the word courting for datingbut I think this is a misnomer and very dangerous. According to Webster, courting is "wooing, adult, and trying to gain the affection of another through attention or flattery.
Courting has the connotation that the relationship is definitely leading to marriage, putting undo stress on the couple. Women often think that if they are adult courted, they are guaranteed a proposal.
But that is not necessarily the case. While you can hope the relationship leads to marriage, courtship is no guarantee that the man dating for down on his knee. Conversely, dating is about committing yourself to a devel- oping, young relationship to determine if your partner can be your advice mate.
Dating doesn't hold any preconceived notions about what can or should be expected in a relationship. As Christians, we don't need a different word to explain our romances.
All advice, regardless of their belief system, long to love and be loved, and we can share in this pursuit young we share in their struggles. The tricky christian is figuring out when dating actually starts. The advice we choose might xating from a book by a doctor, or a random conversation with someone at church, or acvice blog advice by a teenager, or just something we found on Pinterest.

Dating often isolates us from other Christians in our lives. The closer we become with a boyfriend or girlfriend, advicee more removed we are from other important relationships.
Satan loves this, and encourages it at christian turn. One arults to walk wisely in adult is to oppose absolutely dating For might adult for you. Fight the impulse to date in a sdults by yourselves, and instead draw one another into those important relationships.
The people willing to actually hold me accountable in dating have been my best friends. They stepped in when I was spending too much time with a girlfriend or started neglecting other important areas of my life.
They christian a adult advlce a relationship seemed unhealthy. They have relentlessly pointed me for Jesus, even when they knew it might upset me — reminding me not to put my hope in any relationship, to pursue patience and advice, and to communicate and lead well.
And I wish I would have listened to them more in dating. Maybe that term — accountability — has young out and gone stale in your life.
But to be accountable is to be authentically, deeply, consistently known by someone who cares enough to keep us from making mistakes or indulging in sin. You desperately need truth, wisdom, correction, and perspective.

The Bible warns us to weave all our desires, needs, and decisions deep into a fabric of adult who love us and will help us follow Jesus — a family God builds for young of for in a local church Hebrews To advice and correct them: And to build them up: That's not tomorrow, but neither are you simply out to have a dating time while it lasts. That dishonors everyone involved, including you. Friends hang out forever. Couples grow in advice.
You can't build a life on a mismatched foundation. Do not be unequally adult. Intimacy for four facets: Do boomer dating tips enjoy talking and doing things together? Are you growing and practicing faith together, in dating, prayer, and service?
Are you christian, tender, and christian in each other's space?
You need deepening connections in all these areas, not just one. Danger or trouble in one area is a red flag for them all. Your partner is broken too, and you will step on each other's toes.
Expect a little conflict, and decide to treat relationship missteps as opportunities to learn and grow together.

3 Easy Ways to Pay Off Your Home Faster
If nothing's certain in life except death and taxes, a mortgage surely isn't far behind—at least that's the case for 70% of Americans, according to a recent study by Zillow.
But have you ever stopped to imagine what life would be like if your house was paid for and you didn't have any mortgage payments?
Here's a little secret: It's far from impossible. Let's explore three simple tricks for getting 'er done based on a $150,000, 30-year mortgage with a 4% interest rate.
Divide and Conquer
One easy way to shave years off your mortgage is to pay a little extra each month. Every dollar you add to your regular payment each month puts a bigger dent in your principal balance—and you don't have to double down to make a difference. Adding just one extra payment each year knocks four years and nearly $17,000 off your mortgage.
Can't do it in one big lump sum each year? No problem! Break it down into smaller chunks using one of these two options:
Divide your payment by 12 and add that amount to your monthly payment. In this case, we'd add an extra $60 to our regular $716 monthly payment, bringing the total up to $776.
Pay half of your payment every two weeks—also known as bi-weekly payments—instead of a single payment once a month. That gives you 13 payments a year instead of 12. For a $716 monthly payment, that would mean $358 every two weeks.
Throw in an Extra Andrew Jackson
If $60 a month puts too much crunch in your budget, never fear—your favorite former president is here! Put Andrew Jackson to work for you by adding $20 to your mortgage payment each month.
Sounds easy, right? That's because it is! Even better, you'll pay your mortgage off a year and a half early, saving over $6,200 in the process. It may not seem like a huge win, but that's 18 extra months of saving, spending, or investing that money however you want!
Unleash the Power of the Brown Bag
What if we told you that bringing your own lunch to work could save you $45,000?
If that doesn't get you excited, consider this: Trading lunch out for eating in can make you a lean, mean, mortgage-free machine 11 and a half years ahead of schedule. From now on, your bologna has a new name. It's M-O-N-E-Y!

A Word (or Three) of Caution
Before you start making extra payments, let's go over the ground rules.
1. Check with your mortgage company first. Some companies only accept extra payments at specific times or may charge prepayment penalties.
2. Make sure additional payments are applied to the principal and not to the following month's mortgage.
3. Don't shell out your hard-earned cash for a mortgage accelerator program. You can accomplish the same goal all by yourself, thank you very much!
If you follow these three steps, you'll be celebrating your paid off home in no time!

A male Democratic operative has been arrested by U.S. Capitol Police for assaulting a female official in President Donald J. Trump's administration. The arrest took place following a House budget hearing on Thursday.
A Capitol Police officer said they had "arrested an adult male for simple assault against another individual outside room 1324 in the Longworth House Office Building," according to Politico.
The Daily Caller New Foundation reports additional details: The assault happened after Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke finished testifying on the department's 2019 budget proposal before the House Committee on Natural Resources. The suspect identified himself as a reporter with American Bridge and pushed a female Interior Department communications official to the floor, chasing after Zinke, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned.
Interior communications director Laura Rigas was "greatly alarmed and extremely irate that a female senior member of my DOI Communications team was physically assaulted today by a Democrat staffer from the PAC American Bridge," she told Politico.
George Soros donated $2 million to American Bridge in 2016, and Tom Steyer's NextGen Climate Action donates money to the group regularly, as noted in records kept by the Center for Responsive Politics.
From the DCNF report: American Bridge is a political action committee dedicated to "holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions," according to their website. American Bridge is known for having operatives follow Republican candidates on the campaign trail.

A Federal High Court, Abuja yesterday told the Nigeria police to stop making a mockery of the law by disregarding it.
Halting the trial of National Commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria, Ambassador Dickson Akoh in a 13 count alleged criminal charges brought against him by the Nigerian police, at the hearing in Abuja yesterday, Justice john Tsoho said he could not go on with the trial following the persistent refusal of police to open the Corporate Head office of the Corps sealed up since February 28, 2017 during its official commissioning in Abuja.
Delivering ruling on the motion on notice brought against the police by Akoh, the court held that police as an institution established by law must not be seen breaking laws and disregarding court orders and judgments with impunity.
Justice Tsoho stressed that it was wrong for police to have chosen to disobey two judgments of the court which directed it to unseal the office in the past one year.
He however, agreed with counsel to the Peace Corp boss, John Ochogwu that Akoh as a defendant in the 13 count alleged criminal charges had been disadvantaged in preparing for his defence in the charges against him as required by law.
The court held that the police have breached section 36 of the 1999 constitution as amended by refusing to give the defendant adequate time and opportunity to prove his innocence in the charges against him by sealing up the office where the material for defence were said to have been kept.
The judge said that the police which relied heavily on speedy trial of the defendant must be seen adhering strictly to the rule of law and natural justice by ensuring that the defendant was not placed at a disadvantaged position.
"It has often been said that justice is not for one part but for all including the state. In the instant case police cannot be said to be fair and just to the defendant by sealing up the office were the defence materials could be obtained and at the same time demanding for speedy trial at the court.
"Let the point be made that the hand of the police is not clean by refusing to obey court judgments..This court is swayed by the argument of counsel to the applicant /defendant in his reply on point of law that the police had flouted a valid order made by the court.
"If the police truly deserve adherence to or compliance with the law, it should first show good example by respecting the law. It cannot be reasonably encouraged to promote the hypocrisy of requiring others to be subject of the law while the police wears the toga of an outlaw with impunity.
"There is a democratic norm that no person or institution is above the law, consequently the judge stopped the trial when there is evidence that police has complied with the order of the court."
The police had last year slammed a 90 count charge against the Peace Corps boss but the charges were later reduced to 13 by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole had in a judgment on the enforcement of fundamental human rights ordered the police to unseal the corporate head office of the corps on the grounds that the action was unlawful, illegal and breach of the fundamental right of Peace Corps members to own property.
The judge awarded N12.5m against police and in favour of Akoh and 49 others over their unlawful arrest and detention by police.
Justice Tsoho in another judgment had ordered police to vacate the office of the organization on the grounds that the presence of police in the office was against the law.

This is a list of media related to the 1988 Disney/Amblin film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This media includes books, animated shorts, comic books and a video game.
Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit? is a mystery/humor novel written by Gary K. Wolf released in 1991 (ISBN 0-679-40094-X). The book is neither a sequel nor a prequel to Who Censored Roger Rabbit? or the film adaptation by Disney. It is just a spin-off story with the same characters, just different situations. This style is like Looney Tunes, where the episodes hold no continuity.
The novel contains most of the original main cast members, such as Roger Rabbit, Eddie Valiant, Jessica Rabbit, and Baby Herman. The personalities of each of these characters reflect more of their movie selves from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, such as Jessica's devotion to Roger and the rabbit's own more cartoony quirks, such as his speech impediment.
The story starts out with Eddie Valiant at the front door of Roger Rabbit's house. Almost immediately after he is let inside the house, Roger tells him about the upcoming Gone with the Wind toon adaptation and how he has a chance to play the lead as Rhett Butler. However, the Telltale News, a newspaper that tends to Toons, prints an article about Jessica Rabbit and her relationship with Clark Gable. Valiant primarily declines, stressing that he promised his wife, 'Doris' (who seems to be Delores from the movie), that he wouldn't take such work anymore. However, he takes the job because of the quote Roger announces.
From this simple case, the story branches out to the murders of Kirk Enigman (another candidate for the part of Rhett Butler), Baby Herman, and Dodger Rabbit (Roger Rabbit's evil cousin).
Roger Rabbit was a comic book series by Disney Comics starring characters from the 1988 film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, as well as following continuity from the film. It spawned a spin-off series entitled Roger Rabbit's Toontown, which lasted five issues.
The series continues the adventures of Roger Rabbit, who has since returned to working for Maroon Cartoons, now under C.B. Maroon (a character introduced in the graphic novel, Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom). The comics were usually split into two stories, with one main feature focussing on Roger's adventures, and a back-up feature presented to look like an actual animated subject.
Curiously, whilst characters like Jessica Rabbit, Baby Herman and Benny the Cab all appeared in the stories, Eddie Valiant was seldom seen, replaced by a new detective character named Rick Flint. This was explained in the first issue: Roger had a new case for he and Eddie to team up on. Eddie told Roger he wouldn't be able to help him that since defeating Judge Doom twice, there was renewed interest in Eddie's services as a detective and was too busy with various caseloads. So to not leave Roger on his own, Eddie referred him to a "new kid" private dictective, Rick Flint. The actual editorial reason for omitting Eddie Valiant from the comic was not having the likeness rights to make Eddie resemble Bob Hoskins. Two other new characters introduced were Lenny, a toon plane who was Benny's cousin, and Mel, who was Roger's sentient mailbox.
The series had a one-off 3D strip as part of the Disney's Comics in 3-D series, which reprinted the back-up features of earlier comics and converted them into 3D. The comic-book line lasted 18 issues, and continued until the implosion of Disney Comics.
Roger Rabbit's Toontown was a comic book published by Disney Comics. It features Roger and his supporting characters from Disney and Amblin Entertainment's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Every issue began with a Roger Rabbit story and his supporting characters such as his wife Jessica, his co star Baby and his taxi cab friend Benny round out the comic. This comic book lasted for five issues from May to August 1991.
This comic book is similar to the Roger Rabbit version of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories. Sadly it fell victim due to The Disney Comics Implosion.
Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom (ISBN 0-871-35593-0) is a graphic novel sequel that takes place between the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Roger Rabbit short film Tummy Trouble. It also helped to set the scene for the Roger Rabbit comic-book series by Disney Comics.
The comic opens with a documentary about the origin of Judge Doom. The documentary mentions the original character cel used to create Doom. Eddie Valiant is given credit for ending Doom's reign of terror by dissolving him in a puddle of Dip, stated as 'A victim of his own evil creation', and putting a stop to his plans to erase Toontown and build a freeway where it would have once stood.
A weasel is shown watching the documentary which is Slimy. He goes with two other weasels one of them is Flasher and the other we call Ragtag to find the original cel of Doom. They manipulate some animators to bring Doom back to life. With time, Doom remembers everything that happened to him, and now wants revenge against both Eddie Valiant and Roger Rabbit for ruining his plans.
Meanwhile, Eddie Valiant is called by C.B. Maroon, the new executive of Maroon Cartoons, who announces they are reopening the studio, and pays Valiant $500 to run a search on the background of Roger Rabbit. Valiant finds Roger's records clean as a whistle.
Meanwhile, Roger and Jessica Rabbit are enjoying life at home as much as possible, despite Roger's unemployment following the close of Maroon Cartoon Studios. Roger gets a call from Maroon Cartoons, saying they are reopening the studio, and that they want Roger to come work for them. Roger accepts the offer, and the next day, Roger meets C.B. Maroon, who starts Roger off with a very low-budget film (depicted in a Hanna-Barbera-esque style). Roger angrily objects to his part in the film, and is fired ("Get me that other rabbit with the tiger for a buddy!").
The next day, Roger finds dozens of scandalous, untrue headlines centered on himself. He turns to Valiant to find out why this is happening. Valiant first meets with C.B. Maroon, and questions him about firing Roger. Maroon reveals himself as Doom, tells his plan to ruin Roger's reputation and then kill him. He and the weasels knock Valiant out and lock him up in a storage locker, where Valiant meets the real C.B. Maroon. Doom, as C.B. Maroon, puts Maroon Studios up for auction, and the studio will be officially sold at noon.
Meanwhile, Roger and Jessica are about to leave for Simi Valley, but first go to Valiant's office to say goodbye, only to find the office ransacked. Jessica finds indentations of the address Valiant wrote on the last piece of paper he used. Rushing to the address, they find and rescue Eddie Valiant and C.B. Maroon. They leave to save Maroon Studios. Valiant sprays him and his weasels with the Dip-filled gag squirt gun, and before dissolving, "Maroon" reveals himself to be Doom.
The real C.B. Maroon announces he is reopening Maroon Cartoon Studios, and will be providing all the toon employees with work, including Roger Rabbit and Baby Herman with a line-up of new animated short films, starting with Tummy Trouble.
Roger Rabbit was featured in a series of cartoon shorts following the popularity of the movie. These shorts were presented in front of various Touchstone/Disney features in an attempt to revive short subject animation as a part of the movie-going experience. These shorts include Tummy Trouble released in front of the blockbuster Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (this was also included on the original video release of the film), Roller Coaster Rabbit shown in front of the hit Dick Tracy and Trail Mix-Up shown in front of the soon forgotten A Far Off Place (starring a then unknown Reese Witherspoon).
Disney released Tummy Trouble in an effort to build up the Roger Rabbit character so he could be a draw in Disney theme parks and for merchandising. Paired with the feature Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, it took in $14 million (US) on opening weekend.[1] It was the first cartoon short Disney had produced in 25 years to run with a feature film, since Goofy's Freeway Trouble in 1965. The short took 70 animators nine months to produce.[2]
Tummy Trouble was produced at the main Walt Disney Feature Animation studio in Burbank, California, while Roller Coaster Rabbit and Trail Mix-Up were produced at the satellite studio located at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida.
In 1995, a VHS tape of the three shorts was released under the title It's Roger Rabbit, bundled with the Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie. A nearly identical video was released by itself in 1996 under the title The Best of Roger Rabbit. The three shorts are also included in the 2003 special edition DVD of Who Framed Roger Rabbit released under Walt Disney Studios Entertainment's Vista Series title.
This is the first of three animated Roger Rabbit shorts, produced after the 1988 film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was made by Walt Disney Pictures and Amblin Entertainment. It was attached to the feature Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.[3]
Baby Herman swallows a rattle and is rushed to the hospital for surgery. Roger is shocked and sad about this. The rattle comes falling down into Roger's mouth after the baby burps it out after his milk break, and Roger swallows it. When the surgeon comes in to get Baby Herman ready for surgery, he thinks Roger is the patient that swallowed the rattle and much zany madness breaks loose. Roger and the baby both fall in the elevator, and Baby Herman uses a diaper as a parachute. And, Roger fainted. The End.
This short was attached to the US theatrical release of Touchstone's Dick Tracy in 1990 and the UK theatrical release of Disney·Pixar's Toy Story in 1996.
The second of the Roger Rabbit shorts features our hero at the fair with Baby Herman and Mrs. Herman (Baby Herman's mother). Baby Herman loses his red balloon and Roger goes to get him a new one. Before he returns, however, Baby Herman sees another red balloon at a dart game and goes to try to get it. When Roger comes back to give Baby his balloon, he finds that he is gone, and the chase begins. Firstly Baby Herman finds himself following the balloon into a field homed to a grazing bull. Roger soon follows the youngster. Baby Herman walks through directly underneath the bull, he notices a round balloon-like object and grasps it unknown to him that it was in fact the bull's scrotum. The grazing creature snaps, Roger picks up Baby Herman but just happens to be looking the bull in the eyes. The animal hurls Roger and baby into the air sending him flying out of the field and the two land crashing into a roller coaster carriage which is traveling slowly up. The next stage of this short the carriage continues to climb a tall hill in the track. The two reach the top of the drop which is exaggerated to reach beyond the clouds and into space. Roger looks down and sees the world. Moments later the carriage drops down thousands of meters. The speed of the drop is maintained throughout the remainder of the chase. After a few twist and turns (in the track) a shot of Jessica Rabbit appears where she is tied down to the tracks, unable to move. She calls out to be saved before Roger and Baby Herman's carriage crushes her. As the cart draws near, it topples over and fortunately bounces over Jessica avoiding her completely. The camera 'moves' along and beside her appears Droopy for a quick one-liner. The story then continues. Roger grasping onto Baby Herman, tumbling and losing their carriage leaving Roger sliding along the tracks with his feet, gradually gaining friction causing his feet to catch fire. The tracks run into a dark tunnel and then stumbles across a 'wrong way sign'. Finally Herman and Roger crash through the sign and into a real-life filming studio. A direct reference to the reality/cartoon cross-over in the feature film.
Trail Mix-Up, the third and last of the Roger Rabbit shorts, was attached to the theatrical release of Disney/Amblin's A Far Off Place in 1993. The short features Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman and Mrs. Herman at the park setting up camp. Mrs. Herman plans to go hunting and leaves Roger in charge of watching Baby Herman. Trouble begins when Baby wanders off in the dangers of the forest and Roger has to go and save him.
A video game with the same title, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System by LJN. The NES version has received almost universally poor reviews. Another version was published by Capcom for the Game Boy, and was a completely different game. Yet another different game with the same title was released for personal computers such as Amiga, Apple IIGS, Commodore 64, and DOS in 1988.

The Deputy Commander in charge of the Anti-Galamsey Taskforce, Operation Vanguard (OV) Chief Superintendent Abraham Acquaye has stated emphatically that government shouldn't be blamed if they fail to combat illegal mining activities.
He said they should rather be held responsible if they fail to deliver and not the government.
Government of Ghana and the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resource on August 2, 2017 deployed joint Taskforce made up of four hundred (400) highly motivated officers and men drawn from the Ghana Army, Navy, Air Force and the Ghana Police Service to fight illegal mining activities in the Eastern, Ashanti and the Western Region.
Chief Superintendent Abraham Acquaye speaking to Abusua Dawuro's Nana Ama Annor said the Operation Vanguard (OV) has all the logistics, equipment and men to fight against illegal miners in the country.
He said they cannot fail with all the logistics available to them to curb the menace.
According to him, Ghanaians should support Operation Vanguard in the fight against illegal mining activities.
"We are not going to stop fighting against illegal mining activities. We will fight till we win. We have all the men and logistics as needed, but don't blame the government if we fail," he said.

Weekender 3ft Single Guest Bed - This 3ft single guest bed provides a simple and comfortable way for guests to stay over. As well as being a 3ft single guest bed, this innovative Health bed also has another full size 3ft single bed stored under the base, which is ideal for guests as it will create a double guest bed or two single guest beds.
Both bunk beds and trundle beds have other space considerations. Can you accommodate the additional space needs of either of these two bedding options? Bunk beds will generally incorporate a ladder to the higher bunk on the end of the bunk bed structure. If not, there will be a ladder that comes out from the side of the bed. If a ladder is built into the bed frame, is there room for the child to climb the ladder? If the bed frame has a detached ladder which comes out from the side of the bed, do you have room for the ladder to slant out from the bed frame? On the opposite hand, a trundle bed needs enough room to be pulled out for use. Which extra space requirement works best with the room you have?

Cynthia Tucker is another one of these smug, liberal, black columnists whose sophomoric ranting regularly appears in our local Pensacola newspaper. Her columns are usually extremely one-sided and racist, perhaps even more so than the other smug, liberal, black columnists like the aforementioned Dewayne Wickham who think they're better or smarter than me and you. I must point out that Cynthia Tucker has won a Pulitzer Prize. For...are you ready?...Commentary. That's right, commentary. Which…and I know you're going to say that I'm the one being horribly racist…but it just goes to show you how smug, liberal, black writers can leverage their blackness into awards if they know how to write well. Society is still so impressed with educated black people that they hand them Pulitzer Prizes just for...you know...commentating. Hey, where's my Pulitzer?!
Recently Cynthia Tucker weighed-in on the issue of guns. She is, naturally enough, against them. She, like many other of her misinformed, misguided ilk, blames the weapon…the "assault rifle"…i.e. the AR-15 on recent killings. She wants it banned. And she wants high-capacity magazines banned as well.
But they won't be banned, she notes, because politicians are afraid of the NRA (National Rifle Association). She seems to think that when it comes to their position on the issue of guns, politicians listen only to the NRA. This is a huge and irrational oversimplification. I suppose it never occurred to Ms. Tucker that politicians also listen to their constituents?
And this is the trouble with liberal newspaper columnists: They simply cannot conceive of a society that tolerates guns. It is beyond their comprehension that some of us do not see guns as evil…that some of us believe we have enough gun laws right now, thank you very much. No, in Ms. Tucker's world, everyone acknowledges that guns are bad and would not mind seeing them restricted and/or (in the case of DiFi) eliminated completely. Poor misguided Ms. Tucker!
Ms. Tucker correctly notes that gun restrictions are no cure-all for society's ills. But then she goes off the rails. "But banning at least some assault-type weapons and the high-capacity magazines that feed them would be a step in the right direction. Why can't we take that step?"
Whoa. What? Who said that it would be a step in the right direction?? Where does she get that from? Hey sweetie, maybe we can't "take that step" because it doesn't make sense?
Then Ms. Tucker gets further "out there." In talking about the last ban on so-called "assault weapons" (i.e. "the Clinton-era ban"), she says, "But many law enforcement officials nevertheless supported it, declaring that it helped. It didn't end gun violence or stop mass murders or prevent suicides (which account for two-thirds of gun deaths in this country). But it prevented some killings. Isn't that worthwhile?"
Hmm, Tucker declares definitively that the Clinton-era ban "…prevented some killings." Oh yeah? Prove that one to me. Prove it! Prove that some killings did not happen because of "the Clinton-era ban." Only a true idiot…and I say this with all due respect…but only a true friggin' IDIOT would make a claim that such-and-such did not happen…and further, that such-and-such did not happen because such-and-such did happen. "Dog didn't bite man today! New law prohibiting dog bites is responsible. No film at eleven."
In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and the National Research Council both ended up concluding that the Clinton-era ban had a negligible or indeterminate effect on killings. So for Ms. Tucker to say such a thing is a downright falsehood if not a bold-faced lie. It is wishful thinking taken to an extreme.
Of the Clinton-era ban Ms. Tucker goes on to state, "The civilized world did not come to an end during those 10 years; the Second Amendment was not besmirched." Uhh, yes it was. And anyway, if that was the case, if that ban on "assault weapons" was so great, why then was it allowed to expire? Maybe because it was ineffective?
Before closing her column, Ms. Tucker throws one more dig at the NRA and the politicians she thinks are afraid of it. "Yet, the vociferous -- nay, deranged -- leadership of the NRA has persuaded Congress that an assault-weapons ban is akin to totalitarianism."
Deranged? No, sweetie, the NRA leadership is not deranged. It represents its members…people like me and the millions of others like me who happen to not think like people like you. You, Ms. Tucker, obviously do not like guns. I do. I don't see anything wrong with people owning guns, and I appreciate our Founding Fathers for putting on paper and into law that we American citizens have a RIGHT to own them…a RIGHT which shall not be infringed.
It boils down to this: Ms. Tucker sees only the rare, random tragedies like Newtown, Connecticut and the Aurora, Colorado movie theatre shooting and thinks guns are awful and ought to be outlawed. The old, "If it prevents just one killing it'll all be worthwhile!" justification.
Me, I see the bigger picture. I see an armed America as a strong America. I see my ability to defend myself as sacrosanct. I see a government that fears…and should fear…an armed citizenry. Finally – and not for nuthin' - I see the leaders of other nations (China, hello?) who look at the number of guns in this country and go, "Ehhhhh, let's not invade the U.S." (We know that Japan considered invading the U.S. during WWII; they wisely decided against it due in part to the number of guns owned by us.)
It bothers me that uninformed people like Cynthia Tucker are held in some position of honor for their thinking simply because they've won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary. She clearly has no objectivity when it comes to guns and failed miserably to do even the slightest bit of research on the subject. Now that is a sad commentary.

Dunes are the mounds of sand with sea oats and other plants on them. They line the shore and help keep homes and businesses safe from the sea. But they are fragile! All the sand areas marked by ropes, and other areas with sea oats, are protected by Town Ordinance Sec 14-132.
Holes are fun to dig, but holes left unattended are a major
hazard on the beach. People walking at night could be injured, and
nesting sea turtles could become trapped in a hole. Please leave the
garden shovels at home and enjoy digging with small tools. The beach
is not a place for excavations. A new ordinance requires the filling
of all holes before leaving the beach.
Beach Gear is all the stuff we bring for a day of sun, sand and sea – chairs, towels, body boards, canopies and umbrellas, snacks, drink containers, and such. It should be kept away from the dunes, and taken with you when you leave. If you no longer need it, put it in the trashcans at any street access. Town ordinances require that beach gear be removed at the end of the day.

It's imperative to perceive the part calories play in your capacity to shed pounds. Shifting your caloric admission day by day powers, the body to utilize more vitality, hence kicking off weight reduction. Calorie needs additionally change from individual to individual, so it's difficult to pinpoint a particular number of calories to cut while on an eating routine. The key isn't to kick your body into starvation mode by making a radical slice to calories. Be aware of sustenance and roll out little improvements rather, such as picking light lager, thin outside layer on your pizza and organic product over sweet over solidified yogurt. It's about good dieting, not starvation.
"Eat less, move more." That's anything but difficult to state, however reasonableness is a standout amongst the most vital things with regards to Luna Trim wellbeing and wellness. Luna Trim Recommendations like this are clear articulations that don't address common sense so all things considered, which is more imperative? Eating routine, or exercise?
Indeed, we should all eat more advantageous. Indeed, we should practice each day. There are vast things we could do to be more advantageous, as sit less, eat more vegetables, eat less prepared sustenance, or drink less liquor. In any case, they don't consider the truth of life: we are altogether obliged by a limited measure of assets, for example, time, vitality, self discipline, and cash. Suggestions that don't consider can undoubtedly influence us to feel like we are fizzling our wellness and wellbeing objectives.
At a physiological level, weight reduction and weight pick up spin around caloric utilization and expenditure*. Along these lines, it's vital to comprehend the essentials of calories. Put basically: we get more fit when we eat less calories than we consume. On the other hand, we put on weight when we eat a greater number of calories than we use. To lose one pound of fat, we should make a 3,500-calorie deficiency, which can be accomplished either through exercise or eating routine.
Suppose that a 200-pound man needs to lose one pound in seven days. Through exercise alone, he needs to keep running around 3.5 miles for every day (or 24.5 miles add up to), expecting his eating regimen remains the same. Through eating less carbs alone, he needs to decrease 500 calories/day (the likeness two Starbucks Frappuccino), given his activity administration remains the same. Hypothetically, the two ought to accomplish similar outcomes.
In any case, in the realm of wellness hypothesis and the truth are not a similar thing, since hypothesis does not represent adherence. We don't live in a mysterious house that contains a rec center, a Whole Foods, and an individual staff of nutritionists and coaches. Rather, we're left about our own gadgets in regular day to day existence. What happens at that point?
You must've heard it from your mom and no uncertainty in innumerable TV advertisements – eat more fiber! In case you're checking calories and perusing sustenance names, building up your weight reduction intend to incorporate fiber may appear like only one more eating regimen errand. In any case, adding fiber to your eating regimen is less demanding than you may might suspect.
The Health Benefits
In case you're similar to the normal American, you presumably just get 11 grams of fiber daily, notwithstanding the national suggestion for in the vicinity of 20 and 30 grams every day.
Eating more fiber can make you more "customary," yet it has other medical advantages also:
• A fiber-rich eating routine ensures a lady's heart. An investigation of wellbeing data from 72,000 ladies who took an interest in the 18-year long Nurses' Health Study demonstrated that ladies who ate an eating regimen rich in entire grains, vegetables, and natural products (all wellsprings of fiber) had a lessened danger of coronary illness contrasted with ladies who ate less invigoratingly.
• A fiber-rich eating routine adds to a sound pregnancy. Eating nourishments rich in fiber is prescribed amid pregnancy, and a current investigation of the eating regimens of 1,500 pregnant ladies demonstrated that the individuals who ate 21.2 grams of fiber daily were 72 percent less inclined to create preeclampsia (pregnancy-related hypertension) than ladies who ate 11.9 grams or less every day. Including only 5 grams of fiber, or two cuts of entire wheat bread, to their every day eating regimen cut the danger of preeclampsia by 14 percent.
• A fiber-rich eating regimen may forestall disease. As indicated by the American Institute for Cancer Research, an eating regimen rich in organic products, vegetables, and entire grains may keep certain sorts of disease, especially colon, esophageal, kidney, and pancreatic tumor.
Fiber: Getting Started
The least demanding approach to expand fiber in your eating routine is to supplant a low-fiber sustenance with one that is higher in fiber. For instance, utilize a high-fiber entire wheat bread rather than white bread for a sandwich, or nibble on an apple rather than meat jerky. Apply this way to deal with all dinners for the duration of the day.
Other some great wellsprings of fiber to attempt:
• Fruits and vegetables with the skin on (very much cleaned, obviously)
• Potatoes with skin
• Beans, for example, lentils or dark beans
• Whole grains, for example, oats, grain, or bulgur wheat (simply make sure to adhere to the right serving size to hold your calorie tally down)
Individuals who are watching their sugars should know they can subtract the dietary fiber grams in a nourishment from its aggregate starch check, however this won't change the calorie tally of the sustenance.
Fiber: Upping Your Intake
Expanding leafy foods is an incredible method to enhance the general sustenance in your eating routine without including calories (some high-fiber nourishments are bring down in calories than different nourishments), however this shouldn't be your procedure for expanding fiber, says Weihofen. "You need to eat a dreadful parcel of them to get your fiber stipend. You do need to have entire grains or fiber supplements," she clarifies, including that she trusts a fiber supplement is a smart thought. "I like Metamucil or Benefiber – a characteristic fiber, something you can take for whatever remains of your life."
A last expression of alert: When expanding the measure of fiber in your eating routine, take it gradually. Drink loads of water and include just a couple of grams daily to give your stomach related framework time to change.

I'm landing in Palma on Tuesday, October 23rd at 20:25. I will stay until November 14th when I go to Brussels! :o)
My Itinerary
Next stops - Brussels and Warsaw!
Brussels...wow - I've never been here! Not really sure what to expect. I will arive here on Wednesday, November 14th....
...I will leave on Saturday, November 17th :-) They say that Brussels is the 'de facto capital of the European Union' - is it possible to see the parliament?
And I have a few very good Polish friends! :-) Arriving at the Warsaw Modlin airport on November 21st at 9:40. Leaving on a BUS (going to Prague) - on November 21st at 7:00 am.

So - a couple of day's rest in this most awesome city will be more than appropriate! ;-)

We're talking about the Woman at the Well. Visit Beth's blog for teaching- read on for my shenanigans.
I tease my single friends about being "thirsty" all the time. It's the funniest term I've heard used for someone who is eager to find that special someone. The word thirsty paints a great picture, doesn't it? I immediately imagine that poor cartoon character who dives head first into a mirage of a lake only to get a mouthful of sand. We all laughed at that as kids, but it sets the stage for what the world has to offer regarding our thirsting souls.
Gatorade commercials are still the best for describing thirst. We had a couple bouts of the flu this year, and my kids ask for it by name as the drink that makes them feel better. You see, water is amazing for you. But when you've been sick, you need to replenish those electrolytes.
Jesus doesn't just give you a drink. He gives you a well. Jesus doesn't just quench the thirst, He restores and replenishes.
Everyone reading this is thirsting for something today. Jesus is the answer. I'm not confident in much- but I have absolute confidence in THAT.
If Gatorade isn't what you had in mind, Jesus can be your cup of coffee on your weary Monday. Because He's THAT good.

Producer and director were treated like godfathers during the '50s and '60s era. Then, both director and producer lost their charm after heroes domination started later in '70s and '80s.
In the '80's, directors like Dasari Narayana Rao and K Raghavendra Rao were paid almost equal remuneration to that of star heroes. At one stage, Dasari used to demand at least one rupee high to the pay of his film's hero.
In current era, it's ace director SS Rajamouli who brought back the charisma for director. Besides taking home his regular pay, Rajamouli also gets share in profits.
Director Koratala Siva too started taking additional pay from profits with Bharat Ane Nenu.
Currently, top directors in Tollywood are charging nearly Rs 10 to 20 Cr of remuneration.
Director Sukumar who just delivered non-Baahubali hit with Rangasthalam too has joined the list of directors who will be getting additional pay from profits.
Mythri Movie Makers are happy with the way Rangasthalam performed at the box-office. In fact, the film is still raking in shares in many centers.
The same production house as we all know has signed director Sukumar for another film. Superstar Mahesh Babu has been finalized to star in the film.
For this film, Sukumar has been offered Rs 18 cr as remuneration. What's more, he will pocket share from profits as additional pay. So, with this film, Sukumar joins the likes of Rajamouli and Koratala Siva.
On the other hand, Mahesh Babu will next work with Vamsi Paidipally for a yet-to-be titled film. Soon after wrapping up that film, Mahesh will team up with Sukumar who previously made a disaster 1 Nenokkadine with him.
