Eat & Tell: Where Can I Go That Offers Kids Appetizers?
Q: Why don't places offer kids appetizers? If we're out with extended family, the kids don't seem to get their food until the main meal and by that time they are insanely starving!
A: I would argue that there are usually some pretty kid-friendly appetizers on many menus, ordering a flat-bread or some sliders usually does the trick in my opinion. But I do hear you, when the nuggets are small and won't go in for a fussy bread basket, you just want something. The Highland Grill (and most of the other Blue Plate Group) understands that and will hand you a pack of Goldfish crackers right when you sit down. The newish Lynn on Bryant actually has a kids appetizer course, served in a muffin tin: ants on a log, diced cheese, chicken lollipops. And you could order some kids sushi from Crave to tide them over, a cucumber or avocado roll is fun to eat or tear apart and examine.

My question is, how to put a label in a editBox in android ?
Like for example, i want to put "To:" in editbox of a contact picker which will not get deleted even if I press backspace on the onscreen keyboard.
I tried with android:hint, but it gets deleted when the editBox is focus or clicked.
I tried with image but it's not looking good. So, I need a method by which i can implement this label thing.

Maryland Rep. Andy Harris, a physician, argues against D.C.'s new assisted suicide law based on his contention that "25% of people that request these have depression," and a cure for the terminally ill patient might be found. Where did this guy get his medical training?
Rep. Harris seems confused about "depression." He does not appear to know whether he refers to the mood state or a depressive disorder. Or maybe he just want to mislead his audience. He implies that we can treat this "depression," presumably with psychotherapy, antidepressants or shock therapy. While I agree that we should offer a terminally ill patient such treatment, provided they meet criteria for a depressive disorder, we should not force them to accept such treatment. More importantly, however, "depression," perhaps especially in the setting of a terminal illness, hardly renders the patient incompetent to decide whether they want to live or die. He fails to tell his audience how many of those 25% will respond to treatment or how many will still choose assisted suicide after successful treatment.
And what about the other 75%? Happy as clams to know they have a terminal illness and can look forward to a painful and very undignified death? Can the patient have mildly depressed mood? Can they have Major Depressive Disorder in full remission? Can they report occasional depressed mood.
He proceeds to another inexplicable tangent, apparently referring to his medical training: "The treatment for depression was not death." Really? And?
Harris tells his audience, "There's nothing dignified about suicide." Perhaps he means UNassisted suicide, where a terminally ill patient might resort to a messy violent method in secret, unable to involve loved ones for hear of the consequences.
Harris tells his audience, "They're going to come [to D.C.] to get a lethal injection." Does he really think the law allows for lethal injection, or does he hope to mislead his audience with this falsehood? I understand the law allows a physician to prescribe a lethal dose of an oral drug.
In reality Harris presumes to impose his judgement on that of other adults just as capable -- or maybe more so -- of making such a decision as is he.
Competent adults have a right to decide when to die. Even if they "are depressed" and even in the event of the pie-in-the-sky of discovery of a cure.
Do you want Andy Harris to impose his judgement -- and beliefs -- on you?
Which is worse, Andy Harris as physician, or Andy Harris as lawmaker?

Creating a SSH Tunnel
Posted by Command-Line, Guides, Linux, OS X, Server, SSH, Tunneling, Ubuntu | Posted on 01-02-2011| Posted in
To traverse firewalls that block incoming SSH connections or to access a computer with a non routable IP address, you can create an SSH tunnel. When creating a SSH tunnel, you'll generate the tunnel on the host system and connect it to another system.
With the SSH command, you'll use the "-R" flag, that allows reversible communications or a reverse tunnel.
This command that I normally use:
It states, create a reversible SSH tunnel from this localhost port 22 to USER@SERVER on port 10000.
/usr/bin/ssh -R 10000:localhost:22 USER@SERVER
You'll need to leave this connection open otherwise the tunnel will collapse. Normally I execute a program at the other end to keep the connection alive. Some SSHd configurations will drop connections due to inactivity.
To connect to the tunnel from USER@SERVER:
use ssh to connect to your USER account on the host server via port 10000.
/usr/bin/ssh USER@localhost -p 10000
this will give you the login prompt at the host server. User your login information or you can also setup SSH Keys.

Nova and the Experience
Originally from Newcastle, Australia, the band relocated to Sydney at the start of 2013 to pursue their music and it has proved to be an excellent decision. Over the last 12 months the band have been killing it at home and overseas. They toured nationally with their newest EP "Where We Go" and sold out 2 consecutive shows in their hometown of Sydney. Straight off the back of this the band flew to New York and played three shows as part of the CMJ music festival. They scored a USA booking agent and also recently signed a Publishing dealing with MRM/ Universal, headed by Chris Murphy of INXS fame. Their music has continued to grow internationally as well with their songs being added to rotation in countries like Canada, South Africa, England and a heap of play on college radio stations across the US. +Read more

Tick Facts, Appearance, Diet
Ticks belong to the arachnid family and adult ticks have eight legs. There are soft and hard-bodied ticks. Ticks are blood-feeders that attach themselves to a host and suck blood. Ticks feed on mammals, birds and reptiles. There are approximately 80 species of ticks that occur in the United States. The brown dog tick and American dog tick are hard-bodied ticks that are significant pests to pets such as dogs and cats, and can establish themselves as nuisances in and around structures with dense vegetation and landscaping.
Hard ticks require a blood meal to progress to each stage of their development.
Developmental stages include: egg, larvae, nymph, adult.
Brown Dog Ticks
Brown dog ticks are reddish brown in color and prefer dogs as their host. Brown dog ticks are usually found wherever domestic dogs are present and in grassy areas with vegetation and bushes. The brown dog tick requires a blood meal before progressing to the next stage in its development or before dropping off to lay eggs. After a blood meal, the brown dog tick will typically drop off the host to either molt or lay eggs; however, in some instances the brown dog tick remains on the host throughout its entire life cycle. Female brown dog ticks can lay between 200-5,000 eggs. Eggs are typically deposited within interior cracks and crevices, carpet, behind baseboards and other areas frequented by pets.
American Dog Ticks
American dog ticks are hard ticks that are brownish in color with white-grayish markings; they are sometimes referred to as "wood ticks". American ticks are only found in North America and prefer domestic dogs as their host of choice. American dog ticks require 3 different hosts to progress in their development. After a blood meal, the adult female drops from the host and lays between 4,000-6,500 eggs. The larvae and nymph ticks usually feed on small mammals as host, whereas the adult ticks prefer large mammals, such as dogs.
The American dog tick cannot survive indoors and was probably brought in by a dog.
Tick Infestation
Ticks require a blood meal from a host in order to progress to the next stage in their development. Ticks are capable of laying hundreds and thousands of eggs at a time. Based on the high number of eggs, it is easy to see how one female tick can introduce a tick infestation quickly.
Tick Health Threats and Concerns
Ticks can transmit pathogens including viruses, bacteria and diseases, including fevers, Lyme disease, tick paralysis and tularemia, among others. Tick pathogens are spread from infected adult ticks to their offspring. Tick bites can also cause allergic reactions in humans and pets.
Tick Control Service
AmeriGuard Pest Defense offers tick control services for residential and commercial locations where ticks are a bothersome. Our licensed service technician will perform a thorough visual inspection to identify the severity of your tick problem. During the inspection, all sources of the infestation will be identified and methods of tick treatment will be discussed. The technician will also point out potential tick harborages, tick evidence and suggest mechanical methods of tick control where available. A successful tick control service depends on the cooperation of our customers.
Tick Removal
Ticks should be removed by using a pair of sterilized tweezers to grab the tick body and pull gently and steadily. It is important to remove the entire tick head and body and not leave any mouth parts in the host animal. Heat methods should be avoided to prevent additional irritation and infection.
Preparation for Tick Control Service
The Tick Control Preparation Checklist is available for download. This checklist must be followed carefully to ensure a successful tick control service and to ensure that your home will be rid of any tick problems.
Download the Tick Treatment Preparation Checklist to ensure you are prepared before service.
Tick Service Frequency
Tick treatment services are available on a One-Time basis or as part of an ongoing Monthly or Bi-Monthly General Pest Control service. A tick control service can be added to your regularly scheduled maintenance plan. If your property is re-infested with ticks frequently, our service technician will advise of the best course of action for controlling your tick problem.
Getting Rid of Ticks
What You Can Do?
- Wear long sleeved shirts and tuck pants into socks if spending time in wooded areas where ticks are known to inhabit. Wash clothes upon returning home.
- Inspect pets and pet bedding for ticks on a regular basis.
- Groom pets regularly and speak to your veterinarian regarding available tick prevention medications.
- Keep grass mowed to below 3" and reduce dense vegetation in shady areas.
- Eliminate any rodent problems from the yard, which can introduce a tick problem.
- Keep dogs on leashes when going for walks.
- Clean and inspect bed bedding frequently to stay on top of an outbreak.
- Contact your pest professional at the beginning of a tick infestation. Early intervention is important to getting rid of a tick problem quickly and efficiently.
Scheduling a Tick Treatment Service

Movie Reviews
Don't buy this movie for the acting; buy it for the dancing!
L. Hawkins | USA | 07/13/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"With a title like "Salsa," you can know what to expect from this movie, and this movie does not disappoint. A young love story, a love quadrangle, and a salsa contest are all plot points to get us to the next dance scene. Fortunately we don't have to wait long between drama interludes to get to all the fun and what this movie is all about! Don't buy this movie for the acting; buy it for the dancing!
Of course, this movie was made in the 80's so you'll see all the trappings of this decade woven through the movie. One could watch this movie as an 80's study. This isn't a detractor, however, from this great dance flick. You'll see bits of 80's specific dancing, 80's style salsa, salsa that transcends decades, "New York" style Salsa, "street" salsa, solo dance numbers, group "line" salsa, and multiple partner switching. Lots of the dancing is timeless and stuff you can incorporate today!
One of the features of this movie is the music performances done by multiple artists of the period. The most notable of them being one each from the amazing, late Celia Cruz and the amazing, late Tito Puente. Their music performances are the backdrop for much of the dancing.
As with all forms of dance, there is snobbery as to how to dance "real" salsa. This is even addressed at one point in the movie when Rico, with his more "street" style and the club owner La Luna, with her more polished "New York" style tell each other that they're not sure if what the other is dancing is "real" salsa. Ha ha! The snobbery in dance is ever living!
You will recognise the club owner in the movie as the same actress in the movie Dirty Dancing who tried to steal Patrick Swayzee's character from Jennifer Gray's. She is reprising a similar role here. Once again, though, don't get this movie for the acting/plot/drama; buy it for the dancing!
[Note One] the acting here isn't terrible and is certainly bearable, it's just not as high quality as that in Dirty Dancing which has a better plot and acting but is not as good in the dance scenes.
[Note Two] this movie has minimal Spanish; it is 95% in English. Most of the Spanish words are the basic ones we all learned from Sesame Street when we were kids."
I loved it!
Johnny Rivera | USA | 12/28/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I remember seeing this movie in the theater and I love it now and I loved it back then. It has so many dance moves that look great... There were so many familiar faces in this movie; I can't help but get up and start dancing myself.. I also bought the soundtrack; and when I hear the songs I get up and dance the night away... If you love salsa; you'll appreciate this movie; especially when you can see and hear music from the late Tito Puente!!"
An 80's Classic
M. Rosa | Boston, MA | 08/30/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I love this movie!! I remember the first time I saw it, I was about 6-7 yrs.old, on a plane & on my way to Puerto Rico. Eighteen (or so) years later, I bought it & watched it with my family, it brought back so many great memories, We loved it all over again. I love the music, the dancing & the actors/actresses, The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because IT IS AN 80's MOVIE! We all know how 80's dance movies have the bad fame of neing CORNY! I have to admit, it did have some corny and bad acting moments, but all in all, I think this is an amewome movie, I love it & recommend it!"
No major story line, but this is fun and hot ;-)
Little Miss Cutey | Melbourne, Australia | 08/04/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Salsa is a brilliant movie - one of the best movies with no major plot. There is fantastic music and great dancing and a hot guy - what more could you want.
Rico (Robby Rosa and Menudo) wants to win a dance competition that will take him to Puerto Rico. He's also the older and over protective brother to Rita and when she starts dating his best friend Ken, he goes nuts when he finds out (they keep their relationship secret for a while). Will this ruin his chance of winning the dance comp?
As I said earlier, there is fantastic music in this movie. Margarita and Under My Skin are the best. The actual scene when they play Margarita is fantastic. It's a now dated movie, but it is still a favourite of mine that I do watch over and over again still. I love it and any fan of dance movies should love it to - especially if you like that latin flavour."

Branson prepares to launch Virgin into space
(Filed: 27/09/2004)
Sir Richard Branson has announced a deal, potentially worth £14 million, to secure the world's first commercial flights to space.
Sir Richard Branson hopes to send 3,000 astronauts to space in five years
He revealed his outer space business venture during a press gathering at the Royal Aeronautical Society in Central London this morning.
The licensing deal with Mojave Aerospace Ventures (MAV), which owns the technology, could be worth millions over the next 15 years depending on the number of spaceships built by Virgin.
Prices for each seat are expected to start at £115,000 with three days' flight training. Up to 3,000 astronauts could be flying in space over a five-year period.
Sir Richard said: "We hope to create thousands of astronauts over the next few years and bring alive their dream of seeing the majestic beauty of our planet from above, the stars in all their glory and the amazing sensation of weightlessness.
"The development will also allow every country in the world to have their own astronauts rather than the privileged few."
He was flanked by aviation legend Burt Rutan, who developed the spaceship design. His company, Scaled Composites, have built one and it reached a height of 62 miles in June.
In a separate agreement, MAV is close to finalising a deal with Burt Rutan to use the technology to build spaceships to carry paying passengers on return journeys to the stars for two hours.

UPDATE: Virgin Atlantic moves into galactic; From Peter Walker in London
Addressing reporters in central London, Branson said that the new firm – Virgin Galactic – would launch its maiden flight in only three years, and that he would be on the very first trip into space.
"Virgin Galactic will be run as a business, but as a business with a sole purpose of making space travel more and more affordable to people throughout the world," he said.
"We will re-invest the funds raised over the first few years of flight back into the business, striving constantly to lower prices.
"We plan to construct launch pads for commercial space travel in a number of countries over the next few years."
"Those privileged space pioneers who can afford to take our first flights will not only have the most awesome experience of their lives, but by stepping up to the plate first they will bring the dream of space travel for many millions closer to reality."
For years, Branson said, he had "dreamt of seeing the beauty of our planet from space".
He said: "Burt and I will be fortunate enough to have fulfilled our own personal dreams and to experience all of this on the inaugural flight over Virgin Galactic's VSS Enterprise in three years' time."

On a rocky hillside off the Old Bingham Highway, Brad Jencks makes introductions. To the west there are brothers Mike, Nick and George Savich, orphans who went on to serve in World War II. None of them ever married.
Or there's Virgil John Baughman, a Navy man so strong he could lift a Volkswagen.
Cora Copenhaver Shannon was raped and impregnated as a teenager. She is Jencks' great-great-aunt.
"Over there is Axel Strand," Jencks says pointing, anxious for the visitor to see the spot where the World War II veteran is buried.
This place of death, the Bingham City Cemetery, has become a place of life, stories of tragedy, like babies Joseph and Rosalie Xaiz who died the same day in a fire, or stories of life long lived, like Peter Clays, another veteran who went on to work in the Bingham mines.
Many of their stories have come to light because of Jencks and the army of volunteers he has fashioned.
Initially, it was only a quest to find out about his own ancestors that brought him to the ghost town cemetery.
"I saw many things that bothered and fascinated me."
Broken headstones. No headstones. Forgotten, unmarked graves. A cemetery rich with ethnic history — a Hispanic section, Yugoslavian section, a Japanese headstone, and all those babies buried there.
Five years later, the cemetery has a paved road and Jencks and his team have identified more than 1,000 previously unmarked graves. He's authored a 1,500-page book documenting each grave site and set up a virtual tour of the cemetery with GPS locations for every known grave.
He's secured new markers for more than a dozen veterans from six wars, had a granite memorial installed and has a "wall of honor" at the entrance of the cemetery showing known burials.
It hasn't been easy — he and his friends were shooed away while doing research at a genealogy library.
"She thought we were playing computer games. When we showed her the hundreds of records we found (53,000 death certificates) she was floored. She apologized. I told her to never underestimate the power of a youth volunteer."
You see, Jencks is 18, set to graduate from Bingham High School in a just a few short days. What began as a 100-hour Eagle Scout project evolved into 2,790 hours in which he earned the designation, and it continues even now.
Today you will find him at Bingham City Cemetery, stalking the visitors who trickle in to place flowers and other remembrances.
The cemetery is where he and his family have spent every Memorial Day weekend since 2004. The family borrowed an RV for four of those weekends and camped out among the crumbled stones, faded etchings and solitary metal stakes that are supposed to bear the names of who those who died. They are silent because of floods and fire and time.
"The thing that bothered me the most was visualizing all the unknown burials in unmarked graves with nothing more than a rusty metal marker, no names. I knew each person buried there had a name and face."
One year in advance of Memorial Day weekend, he and his team fashioned 2,400 notes, sealed them in plastic bags and attached them to each of the markers where information remains incomplete. It was a plea for details.
"I knew that living family held the key that would unlock the many mysteries and lack of information about this cemetery and its people," Jencks said. "The more I learned about the people the greater my ambition was to continue researching. I learned that each person buried there was a real person who lived a life just like you and me. It absolutely fascinated me."
Jencks said that as a result, he not only learned local history, but worldwide history, corresponding with people in Denmark, Finland, Australia, Croatia, Italy and more.
He created the project "Connecting Families Across The Globe" and is the designated international research correspondent for Bingham City Cemetery and the Jordan School District, which inherited management of the cemetery after the town of Bingham ceased to exist.
By restoring history, he has broken barriers.
The brother of one Bingham City Cemetery occupant was blunt with Jencks one day.
"(He) asked me why a white boy would care about his Hispanic brother. It about floored me."
Jencks had helped install the headstone he received from the Veterans Administration to place at the World War II veteran's grave site.
"Putting in a new headstone was the least I could do for him because he served our country and gave me freedom."
On another day, Jencks gathered with the descendents of John Virginio Minetti, an Italian immigrant buried at Bingham.
"I met his family from three states and participated in a memorial service for him, 98 years after his death. We sang and prayed in Italian and English."
To see how Jencks has choreographed a community effort to resurrect the stories of the dead and bring them to the living is to assume a passion has been kindled in him that won't be snuffed with time, unlike those gravestone etchings. That's true.
He says he will be involved in the Bingham Cemetery project as long as he lives and has even considered his own burial there.
But the young man is quick to point out that — believe it or not — it is not his passion, not even close.
His real passion is to become an oral surgeon, to reconstruct lives that way. He's already traveled to Honduras, Mexico and Guatemala to deliver supplies to needy children in orphanages, schools and villages and authored a dental care book in Spanish.
His other passion is music. He sings in eight languages, composes music, and plays the piano and guitar.
He combined his love of music and medicine to produce a CD called "There is Hope for a Brighter Day," which is being used by area doctors, hospitals and medical organizations to bring comfort to suffering patients.
"I believe there is a healing power in music," he said.
The list of what Jencks has done and plans to do is long, but he doesn't like the spotlight and says what he does isn't about recognition. In fact, he's pretty matter of fact about his motivation and deflecting credit.
" I am an average guy who finds joy in giving of my time and talents to help people that need me."
His motto?
"It takes a community, not just a boy."

Teachers' Day is a national holiday in Thailand. It takes place on January 16th every year. Since 1957, Thailand has been celebrating this day in honor of educators. It's a day to remember their importance in the lives of children. In Thailand, teachers are seen to have a position of high honor. Schools are closed so they can have the day off and so that children can show respect for them.
Teacher Appreciation Day (วันครู) is another way Thai people show their respect for educators. This takes place at the beginning of the new school year, in June or July, on a Thursday. Children perform the "Wai Kru Ceremony". They bow before their teachers and offer them flowers with candles and incense in a gold container.
The bouquets given to the teachers have three specific flowers in them: one symbolizing wit, one for respect, and the other for perseverance. In performing the ceremony, the students are thanking the teachers for having been taught well in the past, while hoping to gain merit, and good luck for the future.

It's a milestone many children and parents celebrate: Riding a two-wheeler! Bike safety and kids is something you should start early and enforce often. Setting up family rules can help.
By laying the groundwork for good bike safety practices, you are teaching your children how to stay safe when riding around. While you'll likely always worry, you can rest assured that by setting up family rules around bike safety, that your children will learn by your example.
Read on for some tips on setting up bike safety family rules for your children:
This might seem like a no brainer, but with children riding bikes, scooters, roller skates and more nowadays, making a helmet mandatory for ALL toys with wheels is a solid family rule. Start them young: If you take your baby or toddler out and about in a bike trailer or bike seat – put a helmet on him or her. They'll get used to it and it will be a life-long habit.
See and be seen
Teach your children to always be vigilant for cars. Make your family bike safety motto: See and Be Seen. This might mean wearing bright clothing when on a bike to stopping at driveways and other vehicle crossings to look for cars.
Rules of the Road for bike safety
Remember, a bicycle is a vehicle and not a toy. Even young children can learn that difference. And they can certainly learn the rules of the road. Teach them to obey basic traffic laws (stop signs, bike lanes etc.) They can also learn and use courtesy and caution.

RI Future Takes a Step Toward Fascism
Be sure to read this disturbing essay by Christopher Joseph on RI Future:
To "destroy the platform" is a textbook anti-fascist tactic that organizations have used for decades, historically in efforts to break up Neo-Nazi gangs and other fascistic organizations and to prevent their return, and is currently in use against members of the alt-right. The rowdy protest outside of the DeploraBall on the inaugural eve, complete with black masks and flaming trash cans, is such an example. Essentially, anti-fascism declares that any attempt to gain a platform to espouse fascistic or oppressive views or to organize action around such ideologies (i.e. Yiannopoulous's Islamophobia or Richard Spencer's anti-Semitism), is an inherently uncivil and offensive act and will be met with immediate physical resistance. That declaration relies on the aforementioned understanding that civility is automatically lost when any form of fascism is brought into the discourse, and especially into the public sphere of influential speech, because fascism itself historically speaks the language of violence by advocating for xenophobia, militant nationalism, racial superiority, war, and ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Joseph explicitly supports the violent destruction of property and even, it seems, harm to others, although he acknowledges that every activist has to assess his or her own tolerance for risk. The question he doesn't answer, though, is who determines what constitutes an objectionable ism and who deserves a platform? The fascist mob does, obviously, meaning whoever is pulling their strings.
We needn't wander far for aids to the imagination concerning the direction this could go. Joseph's premise is that the people with whom he disagrees are implicitly uncivil and therefore do not deserve civil treatment. Their intellectual aggression and "hate" have a physical force, in a sense, and "will be met with immediate physical resistance."
Turn now to another post on RI Future, in which Steve Ahlquist reports on business groups' arguments against legislation to raise the minimum wage:
Perhaps the most awful part of Boisselle's short presentation was when she suggested that the minimum wage is so high right now that adults are taking jobs from teenagers. Boisselle's solution to this imagined problem was to suggest that the General Assembly pass an "opportunity wage" which would allow businesses to pay teenagers less than the current minimum wage to do the same job an adult might do for more money.
Just writing a description of her suggestion makes me ill.
Joseph's Bizarro World argument that others' speech is violent and therefore reciprocating with actual violence is defense, not aggression, blends seamlessly with Ahlquist's sensation that others' arguments make him "ill." In his view, Lenette Boisselle, a lobbyist for several business groups, advocates "anti-worker, inhumane and exploitative policies," which even in their expression cause sensitive souls like his pain. Christopher Joseph might wonder why such a woman is permitted a platform without disruptive, possibly violent protest.
Progressives aren't about peace. Their view of rights allows only those that they decide to grant. Their opposition to oppression is defined mainly by their political allegiances, not principle. They're about power and shutting other people down in the hopes that it will shut down a reality with which they cannot cope.

Liverpool are playing close attention to the performances of Olympiacos striker Kostas Mitroglou as manager Brendan Rodgers considers adding yet more firepower to his already impressive front line.
Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have been in sensational form for the Reds this season, scoring 10 goals in just the four games they have started together since the Uruguayan returned from his ten-game suspension.
However, there is little in reserve with summer signing Iago Aspas yet to impress, while Fabio Borini has been sent out on a season-long loan to Sunderland.
That has led to speculation that a new striker could arrive in January in order to add more depth to the squad and the Liverpool Echo believes that Mitroglou could be the subject of a bid in January.
The Greece international has scored 14 goals in 14 games this season to catch the eye of a number of European clubs.
Arsenal are said to hold an interest in the 25-year-old who would reportedly be available for just £7m; a relatively low fee for a striker who has excelled in the Champions League this season with three goals in as many games.
The powerful 6ft 2" striker spent some of his youth career with German outfit Borussia Mönchengladbach but has been with Olympiacos since 2007 and last season scored 20 goals in all competitions.
While Liverpool may well feel they need another striker in order to maintain their position within the top four, they will have to persuade Miroglou to leave a club that already has Champions League football.
Much may well depend on whether the Greek outfit can qualify for the knockout stages of the competition as they currently sit second in the group, level on points with Benfica but already five short of leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool may not be in Europe this season but they have started the new campaign in excellent form and currently sit third in the league as they look to book their place in next season's Champions League.

With the Kings organization for the 1980-81 he split his time between the IHL's Saginaw Gears and the Central League's Houston Apollos, but he also played his only NHL game that campaign. The Kings summoned Waddell for a game in which he was on the ice for one goal and did not contribute any points.
The following season he scored 26 goals and 95 points then contributed a league leading 17 assists in the playoffs en route to his first All-Star season in the IHL, as well as the Governors' Trophy. Injuries limited him in the 1982-83 season and the 1983-84 campaign was spent in Germany, but he returned to the IHL in 1984-85. The following year he was back to his All-Star level and was once again named to the First Team. 1987-88 was his final season as a player, and he went out in style scoring 17 goals and 75 points in 71 games with the Flint Generals and being named a Second Team All-Star.
With his playing days behind him, Waddell stayed close to the game and returned to Flint in 1988-89 as the team's coach and General Manager. This began a highly successful second career in hockey. Waddell was also a coach and GM with the San Diego Gulls and then the moved on to the Orlando Solar Bears where he was the Vice President and General Manager. He was twice named the IHL's Executive of the Year during his time in the league. Waddell then made the step to the National Hockey League and joined the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98, the season they won their second-straight Stanley Cup. Waddell completed his ascent when he was named the Vice President and General Manager of the expansion Atlanta Thrashers in June of 1998 and built the new club from the ground up.

Earlier in 2014, the Municipal Properties office released this report on streetlight replacements.
The two projects described there reduce annual energy use by 218,769 kWh and 15,246 kWh respectively, for a total annual reduction of 234,015 kWh. (kWh = kilowatt-hours, the same unit of measurement as used on residential electric bills). The document described these as "reducing our carbon footprint" but by how much?
As a rough estimate, we can use the EPA estimated conversion factor. A more detailed conversion factor would depend on what mix of fuel is used by the generating equipment in the region during 2014.
The EPA gives this conversion factor: 6.89551 × 10-4 metric tons CO2 / kWh (from: http://www.epa.gov/cleanenergy/energy-resources/refs.html)
So: 234,015 kWh × 6.89551 × 10-4 metric tons CO2 / kWh = 161 metric tons (throwing away everything to the right of the decimal point due to the spurious accuracy of the conversion factor).
Using the same EPA factor page, that's the equivalent of taking 161/4.75 = taking 33 cars off the road, forever. Or, based on NStar reports from 2009 of Acton residential electricity use, that's the entire electric bill for 28 average-sized Acton homes.
A nice step forward. A long way to go.

Born into a family of pioneers, it was only natural to find value in preserving history. Great stories come from great characters who have weathered hardship and persevered. Those are the stories I grew up with and want to pass on to another generation, the stories that teach us what it means to be human and calls out the best in each of us.
I enjoy living in other people's history. Writing fictional accounts of characters who live in a time other than my own provides the best escape, one that allows me to return with knowledge of another's life lessons. I like the idea of taking others by the hand and taking them with me through the time portal that opens with the turning of a page.
After graduating from Purdue University I spent the next three decades teaching both English and Art and sharing my passion for creating something beautiful from the gossamer fibers of imagination.
I'd love to connect with readers here.

Birth preparedness, complication readiness and male partner involvement for obstetric emergencies in rural Rwanda
Birth preparedness, complication readiness and male partner involvement for obstetric emergencies in rural Rwanda

&Corresponding author
Richard Kalisa, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ruhengeri Hospital, Musanze, Rwanda
Introduction: birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) promotes timely access to skilled maternal and neonatal services, active preparation and decision-making for seeking health care to prevent any adverse outcomes. The aim was to assess level of male partner (MP) involvement in the birth plan, the attitude of the women towards maternal care and factors associated with BP/CR among obstetric referrals in rural Rwanda.
Methods: this was a cross-sectional study among 350 pregnant women who were admitted as referrals at Ruhengeri hospital, between July 2015 and November 2015. Data was collected on socio-demographics, level of MP's participation in maternal health care and domestic activities, women's attitude towards involvement of men in maternal care and BP/CR. Any woman who arranged to have a birth companion, made a plan of where to deliver from, received health education on pregnancy and childbirth complications, saved money in case of pregnancy complication and had attended antenatal care (ANC) at least 4 times, was deemed as having made a birth plan.
Results: the mean age was 27.7 years, while mean age of the spouse was 31.3 years. Majority of the women (n=193; 55.1%) and their spouse (n=208; 59.4%) had completed primary education. Men's role was found to be mainly in the area of financial support. The level of men ANC attendance was low (n=103; 29.4%), while 78 (22.3%) women were accompanied to the labor ward. However, there was a strong opposition to the physical presence of MP in the labor room (n=178; 50.9%). The main reason cited by women opposing MP presence is that it is against their culture for a man to witness the delivery of a baby. On multivariable analysis, maternal education level of secondary or higher adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.4 95% CI (1.8-2.6), formal occupation of spouse, AOR 2.4 95% CI (1.4-4.2) and personnel checked during ANC being community health worker AOR 2.2, 95% CI; (1.3-3.7) were associated with being well prepared.
Conclusion: male involvement in pregnancy and antenatal care is low. To increase men involvement in birth plan addressing cultural barriers and refraining care-givers and health facility policies towards family delivery is paramount.
Globally, about 287,000 mothers die each year because of problems related to pregnancy and childbirth; the majority of these (99%) occur in developing countries and, out of those, 51% occur in the sub-Saharan African region [1]. These deaths arise from pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum complications. A key strategy that can reduce the number of women dying from such complications is making a birth plan that constitutes birth-preparedness and complication readiness measures for pregnant women, their spouses and their families [1, 2]. Birth preparedness and complication readiness (BP/CR) is a comprehensive package aimed at promoting timely access to skilled maternal and neonatal services, promotes active preparation and decision making for delivery by pregnant women and their families [2]. This stems from the fact that every pregnant woman faces risk of sudden and unpredictable life threatening complications that could end in death or injury to herself or to her infant [3]. In sub-Saharan Africa, pregnancy and childbirth continue to be viewed solely as women issues [4-7], yet their spouse's have tremendous control over them either socially or economically. Evidence demonstrates that involving men in maternal health care has beneficial consequences like reduction in maternal morbidity and mortality due to a sufficient birth plan thus avoiding care-seeking delays from obstetric emergencies [8-11], increased institutional deliveries [5, 9, 10] and postnatal service utilization [9, 12]. These lead to a reduction in all the three phases of delay [10, 13] and therefore better birth outcomes. Despite the documented benefits, male involvement in maternal and child health (MCH) is still low in sub-Saharan Africa countries and in many settings, it is unthinkable that a male partner (MP) would be present in the labor room during delivery [8, 14]. The few supportive MP also have met unwelcoming, intimidating and unsupportive health systems, presenting a missed opportunity to embrace their commitment [15].
ĀIn Rwanda, several initiatives have been undertaken to increase access to skilled care at birth and emergency obstetric care for complications [16-18], some which encouraged MP with the aim of prioritizing women who come for antenatal care (ANC) with their partners [10, 19]. This resulted in high number of attending partners at 87% [20]. Nevertheless, the quality of ANC has remained largely sub optimal, missing opportunities to provide health education for the expectant couple, identify or address early signs of complications and turned away supportive husbands from further health consultation [13]. The aim was to assess level of MP involvement in the birth plan, the attitude of the women towards maternal care and factors associated with BP/CR among obstetric referrals in rural Rwanda.
This was a cross sectional study among pregnant women who were admitted as referrals at Ruhengeri hospital located in Musanze district, Rwanda, between July 2015 and November 2015. According to the Population census 2012, Musanze district had a population of 368 267 inhabitants with a total fertility rate of 4.6 births per woman [21]. Literacy rate is 88.6% and 79.7% for men and females respectively [21]. Health insurance coverage is 85.1% and 65.3% of women are delivered by skilled birth attendants [21]. Uptake of postnatal care by skilled personnel was at 4.5% [21].
ĀRuhengeri hospital acts as a provincial referral hospital for high-risk obstetric cases and referrals from health centers and other district hospitals in the northern province. Medical services offered are covered by community-based health insurance ("mutual d'sante") at contribution of an annual fee of RWF 3,000 (US$4.5), with a 10% surcharge for each episode of illness. In case of shortages of drug supplies, patients are requested to procure missing items from private pharmacies. During the study period, medical staff consisted of one specialist obstetrician, four medical officers, two intern doctors and 18 midwives running the unit.
ĀThe study included all pregnant women who presented as referrals at the maternity ward with willingness to consent and participate in this study. Participants were followed up to their discharge from hospital or death. Two trained research assistants identified participants while the principal investigator verified suitability for study inclusion. A pretested structured interview questionnaire was used for data collection, based on "Monitoring BP/CR: tools and indicators for maternal and newborn health" [3] and adapted according to local context and the objectives of the study. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire on i) socio-demographic variables such as age, education level, marital status, employment status and personnel checked during ANC ii) Medical history on ANC, obstetric history, reasons for referral, mode of delivery and care received for obstetric complications were recorded; iii) Level of MP's participation in maternal health care and domestic activities and women's attitudes towards male partner involvement in BP/CR; iv) Data was also collected on BP/CR, based on the number of arrangements a woman had made, including arranged to have a birth companion or attendant during delivery, made a plan of where to deliver from, received health education on pregnancy and childbirth complications, saved money in case of pregnancy complication and attended antenatal care at least 4 times was deemed as having made a birth plan. Any woman who mentioned at least three of these four BP/CR steps was considered "well prepared". The remaining women were considered "less prepared".
ĀThe collected data were entered, coded, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS for Windows Version 18.0. First, simple frequency distributions were calculated. Comparisons of the proportion of women who are birth prepared by each category of the independent variables were done and statistical significance assessed using the Chi-square test. To identify factors associated with BP/CR, bivariate logistic regression were used. These results were expressed as the Odds Ratio (OR) and with 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Factors that were found to have a p-value of less than 0.2 in the bivariate analysis were then entered into multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with BP/CR.
ĀEthical approval was obtained from the National Ethical Committee (N░582/RNEC/2013). Participants were recruited after getting informed consent, at a time when they had recovered from the acute obstetric complications that necessitated their admission.
During the study period, 350 women were recruited from 400 eligible participants; 26 were too unwell to consent, 15 were unable to complete the interview and 9 declined consent. Table 1 shows the socio-demographic and reproductive characteristics. Out of 350 women who were interviewed, 327 (93.4%) were married with their mean age and spouse being 27.7 and 31.3 years respectively. Majority of the women (n=193; 55.1%) and their spouse (n=208; 59.4%) had completed primary education. The level of birth preparedness among obstetric emergencies and their male partner's (MP) role (Table 2). Out of 350 women, 307 (87.7%) had made savings in case of pregnancy complications, 103 (29.4%) were accompanied by their husband during ANC, while 78 (22.3%) were accompanied to the labor ward by their husbands. Majority 203 (58.3%) of respondents reported a community health worker (CHW) had given health advice during current pregnancy.
ĀWhen women were asked about altitudes towards their MP role in maternal care, 310 women (88.6%) agreed their MP should accompany spouses for ANC, during delivery (n=278; 79.4%) and postnatal care (n=202; 57.7%) respectively. However, there was a strong opposition to the physical presence of MP in the labor room (n=178; 50.9%) (Table 3). The main reason cited by women opposing MP presence is that it is against their culture for a man to witness the delivery of a baby.
ĀTable 4 shows the factors associated with birth preparedness and complication readiness. On binary analysis, Primigravidae compared to multigravidae OR 2.5 95% CI (1.4-4.3), ANC attendance of less than 4 times versus ≥ 4 times OR 1.9 95% CI (1.7-2.4), spouse's education level secondary or higher versus primary level or none, OR 1.3 95% CI (1.6-3.0), spouse's formal occupation versus informal occupation, OR 1.4 95% CI (1.8-2.5) and personnel checked during ANC by health professional versus CHWs OR 1.4 95% CI (1.2-1.9), were associated with being well prepared. On multivariable analysis, maternal education level of secondary or higher adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.4 95% CI (1.8-2.6), formal occupation of spouse, AOR 2.4 95% CI (1.4-4.2) and personnel checked during ANC being CHWs AOR 2.2, 95% CI; (1.3-3.7) were associated with being well prepared.
It is assumed that men play little role in emergency obstetric care for their spouses. This study showed rather that women are well supported during pregnancy, as evidenced by financial support and assistance with household chores. The latter is an impressive departure from African traditional pattern of practice, where men do not do any household chores [4, 13].
ĀOur study shows that male attendance during antenatal clinic (ANC) was low, despite Rwanda's well-intended policies. This could have been partly due to the initial intention on male partner (MP) involvement policy to prevent mother-to-child transmission turned into a strict requirement for male attendance, a factor that might have hindered women from attending alone [13]. Additionally, the requirement for having the MP accompany the woman on her first visit, but then restricting men's access after that point, denied men the opportunity to invest a continued interest in the pregnant woman's situation. This rate calls for improvement in MP involvement include: creating more awareness for male-targeted ANC education and support, design maternity wards which are able to accommodate men in terms of, couple-friendly infrastructure, or have separate male friendly waiting areas for MP who have accompanied their wives to access maternal health care [14, 22, 23].
ĀOur findings are in agreement with others [8, 24] that women who were well prepared are more likely to be accompanied by the spouses to health facilities during ANC and to the labor ward during labor. They were also more likely to report more support from spouses in looking after children or take care of domestic chores during pregnancy. This finding suggests educating MP about BP/CR during ANC visits might increase their involvement in birth plan. A two recent systematic review that looked at interventions for male involvement and maternal health outcomes found that the MP involvement improved birth preparedness and was associated with better labor, delivery and postpartum follow up outcomes [10, 23].
ĀOur study shows that being well prepared was associated with maternal education level and occupation of spouse. Educated women have better pregnancy outcome compared with uneducated women, possibly due to better understanding of health messages acquired from mass media, and prior exposure to educational information, factors that influence behavior change or financial stability to make the necessary decisions in case of obstetric emergencies [8, 10, 22]. When women were asked what they would do when the husband was not around in case of emergency obstetric care, majority replied they called upon community health worker (CHWs) who advised or escorted them to skilled birth attendant, contrary to what other authors have reported that approval was needed first directly or indirectly from the MP or a family member respectively [8, 9, 11]. This shows high the level of trust expectant mothers from rural Rwanda have for CHWs, who previously were considered well informed on matters relating to BP/CR and in cases of an emergency would be called on their mobile phone to offer assistance [16].
ĀThis study has some limitations. Our results can not be generalizable due to the fact that this was a cross sectional hospital-based among referred pregnant women, temporal relationship could not be established. The presence of obstetric complications may have influenced the acquisition and therefore availability of a BP/CR. Indeed, some women may recall or provide information about the BP/CR selectively, depending on the delivery experience or pregnancy outcome. The questions about the BP/CR and their husband's role in the latter were asked after delivery or after complications had occurred, which may have created some bias. Ideally, they should be asked before delivery. However, this was the objective of the study, that was assessing husband's role in birth plan and complication readiness. There is no way one can verify that the responses were not the socially desirable responses, more so considering that the interviews were conducted at the a health facility. The interviews were conducted in absence of spouses to avoid biased responses. Despite the limitations, we believe the study provides relevant information on BP/CR for women in rural areas, and identify missed opportunities for interventions to improve emergency obstetric care. Future longitudinal studies would be a good option to collect dynamic information on male roles in BP/CR.
Male involvement in pregnancy and antenatal care is low. The importance of prenatal advice by CHWs is emphasized. Education at all levels is desirable, due to all its positive associations, with specific education on family participation. To increase men involvement in birth plan addressing cultural barriers and refraining care-givers and health facility policies towards family delivery is paramount.

Picture: Mindy McCready The Queens of Heart 2008 Team prepares for their WSOP event at Caesar's Palace Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada - 07.06.08
A U.S. judge has reportedly ordered grieving country star Mindy McCready to commit to a 21-day mental health and alcohol abuse programme.
Concerned family members were granted an emergency hearing on Wednesday (06Feb13) to address MCCready's ability to care for herself and her two sons, six-year-old Zander and nine-month-old Zayne, following the unexpected death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, at their home in Arkansas last month (Jan13). Initial reports suggested he committed suicide but police are still investigating the case.
Officials from the Arkansas Division of Children and Family Services subsequently removed the kids from the singer's care on Wednesday, shortly before a judge committed her to a medical facility, where she will deal with her personal problems after admitting to becoming more reliant on alcohol to help her cope following her partner's death.
A source tells E! News, "Family members sought to have Mindy committed to a mental-health facility and there was an emergency hearing... The judge committed her for up to 21 days... David's death has truly been a struggle for her."
The court decision comes nine days after MCCready denied any involvement in Wilson's passing, following rumours suggesting she was somehow responsible.
Wilson was the father of MCCready's youngest child.

One hiccup has been the failure of the artificial horizon on the glass panel. It required removal and shipping it back to the Washington state company. I hope to get it back within a week from now. No flying until then.
I have 23 hours on the plane now and am anxious to fly it with the new paint job. The weight increased by 40 pounds and the C.G. moved back 2.5 inches. I assume the trim requirements will now be different.

The CDFW defines a mountain lion attack as an incident resulting in direct physical contact between a human and a mountain lion resulting in physical injury or death to the person. The CDFW considers an attack to be verified only when a physician, law enforcement officer or CDFW personnel determine the injuries were caused by a mountain lion.
Note: According to historical reports, four additional fatal incidents involving six victims occurred around the turn of the previous century. Furthermore, two additional incidents have been reported by the media as attacks. However, they do not fit the criteria of verifiable attacks on humans and were not confirmed. One incident involved a turkey hunter who was camouflaged and calling for turkeys when a mountain lion approached from behind. Immediately after the mountain lion confronted the hunter and realized that the hunter was not a turkey, the lion ran away. This is not judged to be an attack on a human. Every indication suggests that if the hunter had not been camouflaged and calling like a turkey, the mountain lion would have avoided him. The other incident on the Los Padres National Forest was described as a mountain lion attack on a boy near a stream. However, the alleged injuries were not verified by a physician, law enforcement officer or CDFW personnel.

The area has a long history going back to pre-Roman times whose modern name comes from the Saxon meaning 'open land by the hill'. Ancient earthworks are scattered across the parish and the Roman city of Silchester is located about 5 kms away just outside the current village of the same name.
Most of Burghfield Village and its triangular village green has grown up alongside the Burghfield Road which runs south from the A4 west of Reading; unlike much of Reading, Burghfield has managed to retain its essential village character.
The rapid development of the surrounding area had an additional spur from the construction of the M4 motorway that made the area more attractive to commuters as a dormitory location, and the resulting holes left behind by the gravel extractions provided lakes for dinghy sailing and water skiing resulting in a varied and vibrant community.
This web site seeks to bring that kaleidoscope of activity into focus by highlighting the many local resources that Burghfield, Burghfield Common and the surrounding villages have to offer. We have a busy, lively and vibrant community - we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

When I arrive at weekend retreats, I get straight down to business: bag down, red poured, bath running. So it was that, despite The Lighthouse being idyllically perched on a beachfront hill with balconies facing both east and west, I planned to spend my first Culburra Beach twilight in the tub. Call me crazy, but marble tiles, double showerheads and a bath surrounded by slatted windows and lush vegetation beat a pink sky any day.
Twenty minutes later, however – my bath still but a shallow puddle and our guests' arrival imminent – I sent my boyfriend off to the local fish shop, only to have him return 30 minutes later (my bath still only half full) with a bag of rather pitiful-looking frozen barramundi from the butcher. As it turns out, there is no fish shop in Culburra.
Smart alecs and seaside-town regulars may be snarling, "Der, you're in a sleepy seaside town. You have to catch your own!" Yeah, well, when I go on holiday, I like to move as little as possible. Even cooking is a real effort, so I won't be picking up my lures and tackle any time soon.
After my boyfriend pointed out that perhaps I should turn off the bath tap to check whether the plug was leaking – which I did, and it was – both befuddling situations became irrelevant with the arrival of our guests.
And after bagsing the better-looking downstairs bedroom (we initially thought the A-frame loft, with its panoramic ocean views, would be the winner, but then we attempted to scale its precipitous ladder, a difficult task even before the vino started flowing), the weekend continued on, all sunbursts and a sky so blue it was hard to tell where it finished and the water began.
We even watched a whale for half an hour from the balcony.
At least we thought it was a whale, but it turned out to be a boat full of eager anglers, presumably out catching their very own seafood feast.

New Parents To Receive Shark Bags
Monday November 21st, 2016
Posted at 6:46pm
Hello time traveller!!
This article is 939 days old.
The information listed below is likely outdated and has been preserved for archival purposes.
Starting this week, parents who deliver babies will receive a custom oral health shark bag designed to educate parents about the importance of baby oral health.
The Essex County Dental Society, Windsor-Essex County Health Unit and the City of Windsor have prepared 4,000 Shark Bags to be distributed to new parents in the Family Birthing Centre at Windsor Regional Hospital.
Each Oral Health Shark Bag contains:
- Baby Oral Health education resource
- Tooth eruption magnet that explains when to expect baby teeth and when they fall out
- Toothbrush
- Infant finger brush
- Baby teeth flosser
- Toothpaste
"Many people think that baby teeth don't matter because they'll eventually fall out," Says Dr. Domenic Aversa from the Essex County Dental Society. "But baby teeth are very important because they help your child chew food and talk clearly. They also save space for the permanent teeth."
Baby dental care should begin before their first tooth arrives. Dental professionals suggest that parents and caregivers wipe the baby's mouth and gums using a clean, warm cloth after each feeding and before bed.
The Essex County Dental Society suggests bringing your baby to the dentist by their first birthday for an oral health exam. Parents are encouraged to call your dental care provider to discuss baby oral health options.

The expiration of the stamp duty exemption continues to take its toll on the residential real estate market in the United Kingdom. Since the exemption ended, housing prices have faltered, though they hadn't yet declined until this past month. Prices in the UK fell by two-tenths of a percentage point month-over-month in April. They were down nearly one percent from one year ago.
Buyers had rushed to buy homes just prior to the expiration of the stamp duty exemption, providing a false positive boost to the housing market. The market has quickly come back to reality, as factors such as tight lending conditions, declining consumer confidence, and high unemployment rates are negatively affecting the health of the real estate market.
Bank officials had considered offering a stimulus to help get the real estate market back on its feet. However, the stimulus idea led many to fear the possibility of inflation, and it was scrapped as a result. Many had worried that the UK residential real estate market would suffer, as the black debt crisis cloud hovered over the region. The economy is now in a double-dip recession for the first time in nearly forty years.
Economists believe that the residential real estate market in the United Kingdom has already experienced its strongest sales performance and pricing for the year. Lending conditions are expected to remain tight. Demand has declined, and it likely will continue to decline as the year goes on. More than half of economists believe that the housing market is currently overvalued in the United Kingdom, which leads many to believe that the market will see steeper price drops in the near future.

Project Description
Kilmarnock Outfall Restoration
The Remediation of Severe Gully Erosion in Kilmarnock, VA Project is a collaborative effort between Ecosystem Services (ES), the Center for Watershed Protection (CWP), and the Town of Kilmarnock to successfully plan, design, and prepare three severely eroding stream channels for remediation. The project site is located in the Northern Neck Region within the Town of Kilmarnock and the surrounding County of Lancaster, Virginia. Construction plans for remediating the three reaches were developed in addition to a Sediment & Nutrient Reduction Report, an Alternatives Analysis, and an Implementation & Funding Strategy Analysis. Currently the Town of Kilmarnock has been awarded funding for construction. As a result, the Team has provided the region an example of how projects such as this can be accomplished with a multi-disciplinary and collaborative team.
- Reduction in nutrients and sediment
- Increased retention and infiltration of stormwater runoff
- Restore surface hydrology
- Improve natural aesthetics
