Activists Evaluate the State of the Resistance Movement Before Trump's State of the Union Address
When: Wednesday Feb. 28th, 6:00-8:00pm
Where: Busboys and Poets (14th and V), Washington DC
Just before President Trump appears before Congress to give his State of the Union address, activists from some of the nation's most dynamic movements will evaluate the state of rebellion against Donald Trump, including his Muslim ban, deportations of immigrants, gutting of environmental protections and his latest call for an enormous increase in the military budget at the expense of domestic needs. We will answer the critical questions: Is the movement effective? Is it sustainable? What exactly are fighting for? What is our goal? We will reflect, evaluate and recalibrate for the struggles ahead.
Speakers include:
Gonzalo Martinez from Indivisible, the movement started by former Congressional staffers that has spawned thousands of local groups, many of whom filled the town hall meetings during last week's congressional recess.
Erika Andiola from Our Revolution, the group that evolved from the dynamic Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. Erika Andiola is an Arizona State University graduate whose personal struggle as an undocumented woman has given her the drive and the passion to keep fighting for immigrant and human rights.
Karen Topakian is the chair of the environmental group Greenpeace. She has been involved in nonviolent civil disobedience for three decades, with her latest arrest coming from her courageous and inspiring scaling of a crane in front of the White House to unfurl a massive banner reading "Resist."
Medea Benjamin, the cofounder of the peace group CODEPINK, has been resisting the US wars overseas and will discuss Trump's proposed budget, with its $54 billion dollar increase, which will make the US even more militarized and will drain funds from critical nonmilitary programs at home and abroad.

Brief Answer: EXPLAINED BELOW Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for writing to us with your health concern. See, basically if your periods have started in full flow, it would not stop with Primolut N now. If there is only a light spotting, you can try to continue and take the medication for 2 days more. Take it three times a day for maximum effect. If you expected your period on the 9th, you should have started the drug well in advance, from the 3rd itself, and continued till you did not want to menstruate - that is more foolproof. Right now, there is no way to stop it immediately. How long do your periods last normally ? Try taking the Primolut N thrice a day, and take a chance - other than that there is no other medication. All the best. Please feel free to discuss further.

The stars of Pash-Mara
Dessert Domain
Gods of the sands and burning sun, deities of
cloudless nights and storms of cutting wind,
masters of the scorching heat and lords of the
desert all call this domain their own. Often as
merciless as the lands they claim, many are
jealous and generous in equal measure.
Clerics of these deities often escort travelers,
seek forgotten relics, hunt criminals, and war for peace.
Desert Domain Spells
Cleric level Spells
1st create or destroy water, guiding bolt
3rd blur, mirror image
5th daylight, wall of sand
7th blight, greater invisibility
9th commune with nature, mislead
Bonus Proficiencies
When you select this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency
in martial weapons.
Nomadic Endurance
At 1st level, your god blesses you with the resilience to
survive the harsh landscape of the desert. You no longer need
to eat or drink, and you gain immunity to exhaustion from
desert conditions. You can see through smoke, fog, dust,
swirling sand, and other obscuration caused by gasses.
Finally, you gain proficiency in the Survival skill.
Channel Divinity: Sandstorm
At 2nd level, your god enables you to control the greatest
danger in the desert. As an action, you can use your Channel
Divinity feature to unleash a raging whirlwind of tearing sand
in a 60-foot line that is 20 feet wide. The area becomes
heavily obscured until the end of your next turn. Creatures of
your choosing within the area take 1d6 slashing damage per
two cleric levels you possess must make a Constitution
saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. If they fail,
they are blinded until the end of your next turn.
Dune Walker
At 6th level, your god blesses you with the dance of the
fearsome serpents of the desert. You can use a bonus action
to teleport up to your movement speed. When you do, you can
use an action to cause a burst of sand to appear, heavily
obscuring a 10-foot cube around you until the start of your
next turn.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes
with the deadliest scorpion venom. Once on each of your
turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can
cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 poison damage to the
target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage
increases to 2d8.
Endless Expanse
At 17th level, your god's domain grows and spreads beyond
its borders. You ignore difficult terrain while in desert
regions, and also gain resistance to fire damage. Whenever
you finish a long rest, you can choose to perform a ritual that
will gradually change the climate of a 10-mile radius to
become hot and dry, with sand slowly billowing up from
nowhere. This need be performed three times in
mountainous or cold environments, twice in temperate
regions, or once in warm, tropical lands to reach full effect.
Creatures of your choosing are immune to any exhaustion
from being exposed to this desert environment.
If you fail to perform this ritual, the unnatural heat will
cease within the day, but the sand will remain as though it
were natural.

Don't you wish that the people who engineer the front end of cars and the people who make parking curbs could get together on what the height should be? It seems like more times than not, I pull into park and a shrieking, guttural sound comes from the front undercarriage of my car as it plays a game of tag with the curb. You only need to hear the sound once, and you are forever scarred. It may happen more than that initial time, but truthfully, you'll be conscious of attempting not to do it for the rest of your driving days. It's a horrible sound.
Understanding the consumer perspective is a key component by which businesses work to find success. If car manufacturers would understand this basic adage regarding a customer's expectations, the world would be spared the painful screeching of a front bumper under attack.
The "bumper/curb" analogy is lesson one in the ever-important trilogy that makes up great service. Business success is easier when we legitimately consider our customer's perspective — in the case of credit unions, our member's best interests.
The second key to business success is to align your company's promise/mission with the expectations previously cited. Does the company mission meet the expectations of the customer? If so, proceed accordingly. If there is a misalignment, success could be an evasive target. As an example, if the customer demands that the company be socially responsible and contribute to the causes that make the community a better place, then social giveback better be in the offing. If the company is interested in only making a buck and lining shareholder pockets, then there may be a disconnect. There is a gap. The company needs to close the gap because the customer is in charge.
Lastly, do the customer's expectations and the company's deliverables align? Have you met the customer where they are in their life? No judgment, just help. If the customer needs forgiving pricing, considerate products, and convenient and accessible processes, the company better get on the stick. Without the deliverables being aligned with the customer's needs, gaining market share might only be a pipe dream, i.e., try selling ice cubes at the North Pole.
Think of a triangle. Point one is labeled "Customer Expectations," point two is the "Company Promise," and point three is "Company Deliverables." Our goal as business leaders is to take any gaps that might exist between these three distinct interests and close them.
What you have when expectations align with a promise that aligns with deliverables is unmitigated success. Think St. Louis Community Credit Union. We're pretty good at this. Our triangle is really small because the gaps are really small. And the members love us.

Kota Kinabalu (Thursday) - In conjunction with the 23rd Meeting of the Members of the Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (SEDIA) held earlier today, SEDIA exchanged two MoUs, with Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA) and Asia Jet.
LFSA is a Federal agency under the Ministry of Finance and is the regulatory authority for the development and administration of the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (Labuan IBFC). Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Labuan IBFC Inc Sdn Bhd, promotes and markets Labuan IBFC as the preferred international business and financial centre in Asia Pacific. Established to complement the activities of the domestic financial market in Kuala Lumpur and the development of economic activities in Labuan, the Labuan IBFC was rebranded in 2008 to be Asia Pacific's leading 'midshore' international business and financial centre.
The exchange of MoU with LFSA will mutually benefit both organisations in developing new areas of synergy through continuous business process improvement in the context of investments in the SDC, sharing of expertise, research and development, and other areas that are deemed beneficial for the development of financial services offerings.
Asia Jet was founded in 2008 and has grown to become a leading bespoke aviation service company. They have one of the fastest growing charter friendly fleets based in the region, with long-range aircraft and large cabins available for all type of needs. Asia Jet had established Asia Jet Partners Malaysia Sdn Bhd in 2015 to further develop and serve the demand in ASEAN for chartered flights, build a hub for business communities in Malaysia, and promote the local 9M registry. Having established operational bases in Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Tokyo, Asia Jet plans to spread their wings to Kota Kinabalu, providing chartered private jet services.
The exchange of MoU between Asia Jet and SEDIA is timely and in line with SDC's plan to establish an Aviation Hub and Air Freight Logistics in Sabah. The MoU will also benefit the promotion of Kota Kinabalu as a premium aviation hub for global aviation industry players to set up business, training, maintenance and repair support services in the economic cluster, as well as to provide seamless connectivity with direct flights to and from Sabah on demand basis.
The ceremony had also seen the handing over of facilitation fund cheques to two companies under TERAJU@SDC, as well as letters of approval for several fund recipients under the Sabah Bumiputera SMEs and Start-ups development fund.
During his opening address for the 23rd Meeting of the Members of SEDIA, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman expressed his optimism that Sabah will be able to sustain its economic growth at a moderate pace of at least four to 4.5 per cent next year amid mounting global economic challenges. The state recorded the fastest economy growth in Malaysia in 2015, at 6.1 per cent compared to the national growth of 5.0 per cent.
"Both the national and state economies are expected to remain resilient and achieve consistent growth in 2016. For next year, Sabah's economy is expected to be fuelled by the strengthening tourism sector, as well as active export activities, domestic investment and public expenditure," he said.
Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Aman, who is also Finance Minister and SEDIA chairman, said as at September this year, RM158 billion worth of cumulative investments have been committed since the launch of the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) in 2008, of which RM57.68 billion have been realised. "I would also like to highlight that over RM1 billion of total cumulative investments were contributed by the various development initiatives under the TERAJU@SDC programme for Bumiputera entrepreneurs in Sabah," he said, adding that Sabah had experienced tremendous growth following the launch of the SDC.

I love Sci Fi — the shows are packed with excitement, awesome action/fighting scenes and every episode usually leaves me on the edge of my seat. It gives us an idea of how human beings create a structure for themselves in scenarios like:
- Being stranded on an island (LOST), living in a community with people that have undergone supernatural mutations (The 4400)
- Testing a planet's habitability while fighting for their lives (The 100)
- Surviving a zombie apocalypse (The Walking Dead).
Despite its high entertainment factor, i've noticed a trend with how each of the aforementioned shows are set up and diversity is clearly not the top priority for the writers of them.
LOST is a show about the Oceanic 815 who are survivors of a plane crash and end up on a mysterious island. It didn't take long for them to designate Jack Shepard (Matthew Fox) as the leader and determine who would do things like build tents, get food, use the weapons etc.
With a predominantly white cast, there are stand-out characters like Sayid Jarrah (played by Naveen Andrews), Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau) and Walt Lloyd (Malcolm David Kelley).
There's also a married Asian couple, Jin Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun Kwon (Yunjin Kim). This is a favorite show of mine but with the exception of Sayid, the other characters pretty much fade into the background, don't add much to the plot and are easily forgotten.
At the beginning of The 4400, a ball of light is showing hovering over the river and it bursts open, revealing 4,400 people. We later find out that they have been missing or dead over the last 50 years. They all look the same as they did when they left but they have special powers.
Richard Tyler (Mahershala Ali) and his daughter Isabelle (Megalyn Echikunwoke) are the only main characters who are black. According to Wikia: Richard Tyler [a St. Louis, MO native], "joined the U.S. Air Force and piloted their fighter jets in the Korean War.
When his fellow officers and "friends" discovered he was having an affair with a white woman, Lily Bonham, they beat him." It was interesting to see how he was gone for 50 years but returned only to find himself still being the only black man around.
The 100 is about 100 juveniles that are sent to Earth to determine its habitability. A nuclear Armageddon destroyed all civilzations so the only survivors were the 4000 people living in 12 international space stations.
They've built what I call, a city in space, which seemed to be doing pretty well, however, three generations later, the resources and oxygen levels began to shorten. They needed another plan.
The stand-out characters are, Thelonius Jaha (Isaiah Washington), Lincoln (Ricky Whittle) and Indra (Adina Porter). Thelonius is the last Chancellor of the Council that governed the Ark (city in the sky). He was the one who made all of the major decisions such as what to do when the oxygen levels fell.
Lincoln, a warrior from the Woods Clan, is seen as a traitor for falling in love with one of The 100 members, who are referred to as "Sky People."
Indra is Chief of Tondc and apart of The Woods Clan, who live in the area where the drop ship full of the 100 members landed. Aside from that, you only see black people when they're doing mindless tasks like gathering wood, I guess, to make it seem like the population is diverse.
The Walking Dead, another popular show, is about the experiences that a group of survivors face during a zombie apocalypse. The stand-out character is Michonne. Don't be fooled by the placement of black characters in the promotional shots as shown in the featured image for this post — Michonne is the only black character that actually brings something valuable and memorable to the show.
What I love about her is that she is a leader. She is introduced as a person with a hard exterior (who is a highly skilled when it comes to using her sword). She eventually opens up and reveals that she is a kind-hearted person who is protective of her team.
In this show, it seems like there's a limit for the number of black characters that can be on at once. In order for a new one to be introduced, another must die. I'm still upset that Bob & Porsha never happened (if you watch the show, you know what I mean). I understand that it's the zombie apocalypse and that people die, but why is it that the black people are treated as disposable?
The writers had a clear opportunity to create a black-love storyline and ditched it. I expressed this to another regular-watcher and she basically said "well everyone has to die." I get that, but why is it that the other (non-black) characters get to experience long lasting and fulfilling love?
If Rick was black, would "Richonne" still be a thing? A lot of people might think that it's an absurd idea for Rick to have been written in as a black man instead of white. If this angers you, my point has been made.
Representation goes far beyond just including black people here and there — it means having substantial individuals. If you're going to include a small number of black characters in your show, please develop them — not with stereotypical roles and storylines. Don't get lazy and kill them off. Introduce characters that can strategize good moves and fight. Stop bringing gullible people on board that lack leadership skills and fall into traps.
Why not designate a black character as the leader? — Not a villain, which is pretty much the stereotypical role for most shows – but a character who can take charge, hold their own and look out for others.
The idea of a white man or woman being a leader/superhero is treated as the default and when this is criticized, some people make it seem like it is an unnecessary complaint. We deserve to see black superheroes and leaders of the nation too. This is why black directors bring on black writers and hire a predominantly black cast. It's because you (white writers) already have the platform but you're not using it to include us, so we have to do it ourselves.
This doesn't neglect the fact that there are some black writers with access to huge platforms that still choose to display stereotypical roles. Even with shows like Black-Ish and Empire (which is another discussion, for another post), you assume that the representation is no longer needed because it's enough…but how many shows are like that, on a major network?
When writers bring on characters with stereotypical roles, it tells me that it reflects how they see us — if you saw us any other way, you would have written it into the script. Also, since it's a sci-fi show, you have the flexibility to bend the rules and create any world that you want but you still choose to create an all white world with the exception of a few black people who are not fit to survive and must therefore rely on (white) people to guide them.
This has absolutely everything to do to race! — especially when we have kids out here saying that they hate their features because the toy aisle is full of white characters and they don't have enough visibility to say "hey, i'm just as talented, intelligent and skilled."
I love Sci-Fi but it upsets me how white washed these shows are! Most of the best shows out there don't have any black leads. I am extremely disappointed in how everyone gets these exciting storylines but the black characters are so boring…why? For the purpose of saying "oh here's your diversity…1 black person" ??? I don't know how else to end this post other than to ask you to get it together because Sci-Fi show lovers like me still feel left out.

We detected the second-order nonlinear response from single isolated spheres comprised from a centrosymmetric material but covered by a layer of a material with strong second-order nonlinear properties and isolated from an ensemble by the optical trapping technique. We show that when large size parameter spheres are used, the measured second-harmonic efficiency deviates strongly from the prediction of the nonlinear Rayleigh scattering theory. Our results are in very good agreement with the predictions from the exact nonlinear Mie scattering theory.

Sometimes you're unyielding, ready to defend your turf or hurl insults at anyone who doesn't agree with you. Other times you change course abruptly, following sharp twists of logic while hoping you can outrun the emotional jet lag that always follows. Why is it all about you now? Your own needs will be way too loud today. Try to listen harder to what others need. Wouldn't it be a big surprise to find your requirements aren't that far apart? Maybe you could actually do some business with these people.

We are picking green beans every other day, cooking them the third day. All from the 2/3 of our 4 x 4 plot. The beans have been marvelous; tender and bursting with green beaniness. Several of the onions have been sacrificed to the alter of the beans and all to the good.
But the onion flowers have been an amazing surprise in the garden this year. Perfect, round and white. With the most incredibly fleshy stem rising up to support them. Combined with the trellis we added for the cucumber it has made a very picturesque scene.
My current obsession is the tomatoes. Green tomatoes. Fried green tomatoes. I bought a bag of Hodgson Mill organic Cornmeal just for these tomatoes. And it makes really good corn tortillas. And Cornbread. And Johnnycakes. It does not make the best polenta because it is so finely ground. But it's not bad with enough Parmesan and butter. Wow - I am thinking johnnycakes with maple syrup for breakfast tomorrow!
Big Flashing Red Alert!! My raspberries are disappearing!! I had three (3) ripe raspberries this morning and tonight there are none!!! I think it is the birds......thinking about a cat.
This recipe came from Yankee Cooking and is my favorite.
Serving Size : 8
1 cup Stone ground whole grain cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
boiling water
Combine first three ingredients. Pour boiling water over mixture very slowly, adding just enough to swell the meal. Let it sit several minutes, then add enough milk so mixture will drop from a spoon. Heat greased pancake griddle or iron skillet and spoon batter onto hot surface. Turn to brown other side. Serve with maple syrup and butter.
NOTES : Some New England cooks make johnnycakes from white or yellow cornmeal, but many prefer a special johnnycake meal that is milled in Rhode Island. In 1906 Charles Kenyon purchased a mill built in 1886 and expanded what had been a local miller's trade into a commercial business. Today the mill still supplies many New England kitchens with johnnycake meal, plus an assortment of other stone-ground flours.

"I've been dating Rita in my dreams and I've always loved to see her movies. When I read her interview, something in me said I should voice out my admiration and affections for her. "If truly her heart desire is to have a set of twins, I can give her that. I have got twins in my genes. It might sound awkward or a joke, but I'm not kidding; nor am I looking for cheap publicity. "I would have approached her a long time ago, but I thought she was already taken by another man. Even if it turns out that she is older than me, I can live with it. Age is nothing but a number," he says.

I've never been to Mono Lake, located just east of Yosemite, but I've heard the 1-million-year-old watering hole is gorgeous. It's also having an early Christmas as it just got removed from the state parks' closure list.
How did they do it? More than 4,000 signatures to the governor's office helped, but more important was the role of a local nonprofit foundation that stepped into the void and will handle collections of parking fees and help keep an eye on the place. It's similar to the effort being undertaken by the Valley of the Moon Natural History Association to preserve Jack London State Park.
That good news was announced on Thursday, Dec. 1, the same day that Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, right here in Sonoma County, was
dating outside of your social class

officially closed for the next three months. So, no official access for December, January and February. That park is the site of my first – and most recent – local hikes and it's a treasure. A colleague checked out the waterfalls the other day, and found them lacking, which only whets my appetite to get there in a few months when they start flowing again.

We didn't have to go to Sonoma or even to France to get a taste.
We simply had to drive to Midland, NC and visit Rocky River Vineyard.

Even if you're not a photography aficionado, you've seen the work of Ansel Adams. His warm, black & white photos of natural wonders like those in Yosemite National Park have been reproduced in popular posters and coffee table books. Some of his lesser known works that revolve around water will be the focus of "At the Water's Edge", an upcoming exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. When we think of Adams' work, we often think of rocky and desert landscapes. But he also had an interest in the many forms of water, including rain, fog, mist, ice and snow – even the waterfalls and rapids in places like the High Sierra.
"Ansel Adams: At the Water's Edge" will be on view June 9 thru October 8 at the Peabody Essex Museum in their special exhibition galleries. So if you're looking for something to do and a unique experience, here's a chance at a deeper look into the work of an American original.

College football Top 25 the week of October 8thHere are the votes that I submitted as my top 25 in college football in this week's IRACF college football internet blogger and media poll:
1 Ohio State
2 Michigan
3 Florida
4 Southern Cal
5 West Virginia
6 Texas
7 Louisville
8 Tennessee
9 Notre Dame
10 California
11 Auburn
12 Clemson
13 Georgia Tech
15 Iowa
16 Georgia
17 Arkansas
18 Oregon
19 Missouri
20 Boise St.
21 Nebraska
22 Virginia Tech
23 Oklahoma
24 Rutgers
25 Wisconsin
Tennessee makes it into my top ten by virtue of a miraculous comeback victory over Georgia Saturday night. It was by far Tennessee's most important and most convincing victory of the season.
Ohio State remains the number one team in the nation, defeating a Bowling Green team that no one grounded in reality expected that they would lose to.
The shocker of the week was Arkansas' defeat of #2 Auburn. I voted Michigan as the new #2, but much of the national press will be compelled to put Florida or USC in that position.

My Rover R8 was taken back to its place of birth recently when I travelled to Pride of Longbridge, however as we got closer I realised my mistake and we were actually heading for the elephants graveyard. Within a whisker of arriving it died, so desperate was I to actually attend the show after last years experience of finally getting there only to find the show had been cancelled at dawn due to bad weather. So three miles from the show ground I limped walking stick in hand towards my destination having gone full on Basil Fawlty with my reluctant Rover. Hitchiking proved fruitless, although a man dressed in black sporting a bowler hat and muttering darkly to himself was perhaps a little too axe murder for most drivers. Anyway I finally reached a bus stop but no buses. So it was a taxi that got me there in the end and even he needed directions ( I don't usually do this part of town mate ).
Pride of Longbridge was great - recommended! why have my words suddenly become underlined ?
Anyway the point is the Rover is now at home and the engine I think is seized. Other than this rather major issue its a good solid car mate! Actually it really is rather good and it would be a shame to see it die, however if that is going to be the case at least part of it can live on and the car could be stripped of parts to keep other R8,s on the road. It is a 4 door hatchback with the 1400cc engine, so a 214 and was in good condition prior to this with 10 months MOT left on it. If someone on here would like to take it away then please feel free to contact me and you have yourself a free car .
message me on here, oh and the catch....its in Lincolnshire. DN21 so not too far from Yorkshire.

St Augustine's College
St. Augustine's College invited us to put forward a shade proposal for the outdoor area at the front of the school library. The objective of the project was to help make the area into an enjoyable space where outdoor classes could take place, and where students could read and eat their lunch outside of class time.
The combination of the new shade sails and the artificial turf (installed by others) produced an attractive, functional and creative space that the client is very pleased with.
Sheldon College
Sheldon College takes great pride in providing its staff and students with the best possible learning environment and facilities. The recent addition of a large, sheltered outdoor barbecue area is no exception.
The school asked us to provide some shade fabric and waterproof roof membrane solutions that would enable the area to be used all year. The final design selected by the college was a 12m x 12m waterproof conical structure on four posts. This design enabled us to create a large open and sheltered area, covering approximately140m2. The structure has a white powder coated frame which matches the beautifully tensioned Ferrari 802s vinyl top.The Ferrari 802s vinyl allows for natural light to pass through the fabric, significantly reducing the requirement and cost of artificial lighting.
Brisbane Boys College
This project was awarded a Special Commendation at the ACASPA EXPO 2011.
Brisbane Boys College commissioned a landscape architect to design a new outdoor amphitheatre at the school. We worked with the landscape architect to ensure that the area would have sufficient shade, and that the proposed shade design would positively contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the college.
The structure was designed and engineered in a cantilever shape which enabled us to fabricate the structure without any posts being required in the seating area itself. Any students or patrons seated in this area have an uninterrupted view of the performance being conducted in the amphitheater.
Designing a shade structure to be installed in the vicinity of heritage listed buildings will always be challenging because there are many stakeholders to satisfy. The client is very happy with the finished product as it not only provides excellent shade to the area throughout the days, but it also blends in beautifully with the surrounding architecture and landscaping.
St Mark's School
The purpose of the new shade structure at St. Mark's School, Inala was to provide an effective shade system over the amphitheatre seating area without heavily impacting on the pedestrian pathways in the area. The challenge was to design a custom shade structure that would protect the area from sunlight and glare during school hours, while offering a full view of the cross from every seat in the theatre. The fabric used in this project is the Australian made Monotec 370 shade cloth in 'Koonungra Green'.
Kenmore State School
The new Dellor Membrane System allows the area to be illuminated by natural light during the day, reducing the need for additional lighting. The guttering system runs along the centre of the structure and down into the underground stormwater system which helps keep the ground dry and free of tripping hazards like grates and base plate footings.
By using top quality materials and fabricators we were able to deliver and effective an attractive waterproof membrane roof system that exceeds its original purpose. Much to the appreciation of the Parents and Teachers Committee, the children at Kenmore State School now have an outdoor area to play in that offers high levels of protection from the sun and the rain.
Ormiston College

I don't know about you, but I share Bishop's thoughts on this frigid weather. Brrrrrr!
Bishop is still hanging out in foster care waiting for someone (other than his foster family and all of us at Pet Haven) to fall in love with him. He is such a cute boy. His foster mom reports that wrapped up in a blanket in front of the space heater is one of his favorite ways to spend the evening. His other favorite way to spend a winter evening is snuggled up with his special someone.
If Bishop sounds like the boy for you, please email email@example.com

|Background: Small RNAs (19-24 nt) are key regulators of gene expression that guide both transcriptional and posttranscriptional silencing mechanisms in eukaryotes. Current studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) act in several plant pathways associated with tissue proliferation, differentiation, and development and in response to abiotic and biotic stresses. In order to identify new miRNAs in soybean and to verify those that are possibly water deficit and rust-stress regulated, eight libraries of small RNAs were constructed and submitted to Solexa sequencing. Results: The libraries were developed from drought-sensitive and tolerant seedlings and rust-susceptible and resistant soybeans with or without stressors. Sequencing the library and subsequent analyses detected 256 miRNAs. From this total, we identified 24 families of novel miRNAs that had not been reported before, six families of conserved miRNAs that exist in other plants species, and 22 families previously reported in soybean. We also observed the presence of several isomiRNAs during our analyses. To validate novel miRNAs, we performed RT-qPCR across the eight different libraries. Among the 11 miRNAs analyzed, all showed different expression profiles during biotic and abiotic stresses to soybean. The majority of miRNAs were up-regulated during water deficit stress in the sensitive plants. However, for the tolerant genotype, most of the miRNAs were down regulated. The pattern of miRNAs expression was also different for the distinct genotypes submitted to the pathogen stress. Most miRNAs were down regulated during the fungus infection in the susceptible genotype; however, in the resistant genotype, most miRNAs did not vary during rust attack. A prediction of the putative targets was carried out for conserved and novel miRNAs families. Conclusions: Validation of our results with quantitative RT-qPCR revealed that Solexa sequencing is a powerful tool miRNA discovery. The identification of differentially expressed plant miRNAs provides molecular evidence for the possible involvement of miRNAs in the process of water deficit- and rust-stress responses.

As an employer, you may at some point face the question of what to do with an employee who is on a fixed term contract, when her contract expires during the maternity leave period. Here's everything you need to know…
Fixed-term employees are those who are hired for a specified period of time or to cover specified purpose, and where their employment will finish on a specific date or once the specified purpose or the task is completed. As governed by Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003, fixed term employees are not to be treated less favourably in respect of their terms and conditions of employment.
An employee is entitled to take ordinary maternity leave of 26 weeks and additional maternity leave of 16 weeks. This is irrespective of the length of service the employee has with the company or the amount of hours or type of contract the employee has.
Maternity Protection Act
The Maternity Protection Act, 1994 explains:
(2) Where an employee is employed under a contract for a fixed term and that term expires before the day which, apart from this subsection, would be the last day of her maternity leave, then
(a) notwithstanding any other provision in this Part, the last day of her maternity leave shall be the day on which the term expires; and
(b) nothing in this Part shall affect the termination of the employee's contract of employment on that day.
This would explain that when the fixed term contract expires during the maternity leave of the employee, the termination date of the contract should be the date on which maternity leave expires.
Subsequently, if the fixed term role is still there after the maternity leave of the employee, she should be offered the position. To not renew a contract of employment due to pregnancy or maternity leave will automatically lead to dismissal being discriminatory and automatically unfair.
Awards for equality claims are up to 2 years for discrimination and up to 2 years for victimization. On top of that, unfair dismissal claims are awarded at a rate of up to 2 years of employee salary.
It's very important to ensure that any fixed term employees on maternity leave are treated fairly to avoid any potential claims – please call us if you need any help.
If you have any questions regarding the issues in this article, please don't hesitate to contact our 24 Hour Advice Service on 01 855 50 50.

Extra Innings Courtesy Of Local Dimwit
If you've ever watched a car chase you know exactly where I'm coming from. Some crazed lunatic driving a beat up 2003 Kia Sorento tries to lose the cops by driving on the wrong side of the road, jumps a curve, and comes to a popular intersection. Neighbors turned pedestrians watching the chase on television decide to go outside and cheer the driver on as he speeds through another light and pretends to slow down only to speed up once more.
Years ago I can remember local radio host Tom Leykis talk about some alert system he signed up for where it would let you know when a car chase was happening and what channel had the best view. Local newspapers reported more networks would abstain from broadcasting the chase to spare future phelons from fifteen minutes of fame. Not sure how true that is today.
For the second time this week a fan at Dodger stadium ran onto the field and for the second time it was not shown on television. Vin Scully's explaining the cause for pause as this idiot interrupts a critical point in the 9th inning. Great job distracting Broxton who by the way has only two saves over the last three weeks and needs all the concentration he can get. It's bad enough we have the reputation for leaving early, now we're staying until the 9th inning to run around like a douche bag on the field. Don't worry, no game going on here.
As much as I'd love to watch the fan being brutally tackled or beaten on television I'm also glad they don't show it (seeing it live is better anyway). I really wonder if these people are as naive as I was about running on the field before it was brought to my attention that 1.) You are jailed for trespassing, 2.) Fined thousands of dollars, and 3.) Banned from the stadium.
Not to mention you're the reason Broxton lost his groove and sent the game into extra innings.

We got the idea for chickens at the spring Home & Garden show in nearby
I built it solo, about half on-site (in the wet
Before starting work, I talked to Don, my neighbor. I assured him, no roosters. He was fine with it. It seems that most everyone around here either raises chickens, or used to raise chickens, or knows somebody who raises chickens. Who doesn't like chickens?
Here's a summary of materials, most everything from
- 2" x 4" kiln-dried studs – 40 (8'), 2 (10')
- 2" x 4" treated studs – 6 (8'), 2 (12')
- 2" x 6" treated boards – 2 (8'); 3 (10')
- 4" x 6" treated lumber – 3 (10')
- 1" x 6" cedar board – 1 (8' - for ramp)
- 1" x 4" pine boards – 10 (8')
- 4' x 8' sheathing plywood – 1 (5/8")
- 4' x 8' siding plywood – 4 (½")
- ½" galvanized hardware cloth – 3' x 60'
- Joist hangers – 8
- 2' x 10' Suntop roofing panels (gray) – 6
- Roofing screws – 1 lb.
- 2' Suntuf roofing closures – 6 (5-pack)
- Roofing silicone calk – 2 tubes
- Vinyl gutter and downspout – various
- 60 lb. bags Quikrete – 4
- 8" – 4' concrete tube – 1
- Hardware – 6 door hinges, 2 handles, 2 latches, 6 angle braces, 4 window hinges, 2 latches, ramp door mat'l (4 eye bolts, 4 teflon furniture slides, teflon tube (for hole through studs), cleat, cord)
- 2½" ext. screws – 6 lb., plus smaller amounts of other size screws
- Galvanized fence staples – 3 lb.
- Landscape fabric
- Vinyl floor tile squares – 18
- Paint – Glidden Floor & Porch satin latex – 4 gallons
- Misc – caulk, spackle, Gorilla wood glue, spray foam
Although I was impressed with the various coop plans and pics I found online, as for their foundations, not so much. I improvised for my soggy spot. I dug out a flat rectangle using spade, shovel, wheelbarrow, and some 2x4's and a level, and transplanted some sod, ferns, and shrubs. With a hand posthole digger, I sunk 8"-diameter cardboard concrete tubes at the four corners (12" to 18" deep, depending on soil hardness), filled them overflowing with concrete, and while still wet, laid on top 4x6 treated timbers. Making sure the tube tops first were level was critical. (I used 12' studs and a level.) When exactly level and square, I covered the corners with trash bags and let it all cure for a rainy week.
While the pictures tell the story best, a few details here: The vertical length of the front 2x4's is 7' 3½"; the back is 1' lower. The center width opening for the door is 36". Typically, I attached studs with 3, 2½" screws (predrilled). In the handful of places where that wasn't possible, I used joist hangers.
I added a vinyl rain gutter and downspout on the back, with leaf guard. Just that little detail with hooks and joiners added about $70 to costs. But what ya gonna do?
I laid cheap vinyl self-stick tiles on the floor of the coop and nest boxes, just to help protect the plywood.

They are some happy girls, it would appear. I enticed them out of their coop into their run for the first time with chopped hard-boiled egg whites – their favorite treat. If the nights get too cool, I can turn on the 250 watt red brooder lamp temporarily hanging inside their coop (with an extension cord). I hope to add an electrical outlet in the coop for a light and timer before next winter. In case you're wondering about the total price tag: $1,300 for the coop, plus about $150 for the chicks and supplies.
It's been a bit longer than three months since I finished the coop, and life with our chickens is becoming routine. So now the question you might have, if you've made it this far in my story, is "what would you do differently in building your coop, now that the chickens are part of your life?"
Now that winter is here and the days are short, I keep the lights on in the coop so the girls get 12 hours of light. It seems to help because we still get 2-3 eggs, on average, every day. That's from five hens now, since we lost one of our two Buff Orpingtons a few weeks back. I can speculate on why, but don't really know. Chickens die sometimes. And based on my limited experience, Buffs are prone to problems.
At least it wasn't like when my first chicken pet, Miss Buffy, died earlier. This last one, Miss Jen, was just a hen, not a pet. There's a big difference, it seems.
Here's a quick wrap up of my urban chicken raising experience. Our "Wichita Coop" is holding up and functioning perfectly. I have had to shave down the big door and the window over the egg laying box because I made the tolerances too tight. And I never really use the fancy trap door I built inside the coop. But everything else seems to work fine.
I've added a framed area inside in the corner filled with fine playground sand, which the girls love for dusting. I'm still using the original sand in the main coop, and pine shavings in the upper roost area and in the laying boxes. I clean the worst of the chicken shit every 3-4 days using a kitty litter strainer.
Outside, the mulch is long gone, leaving mud in the Oregon winter rain. The girls don't really seem to mind. I learned the importance of having an outdoor area for chickens to spend their days. I know the coop should be big enough for a few hens to spend their lives; after all, look at how commercial laying hens live. All I know is that our hens are happy chickens and scratching outside in the dirt is important to them.
Aside from the routine of feeding, watering, and cleaning every few days, there's not a lot of work. Keeping them safe means locking them in at night and letting them out in the morning. We've never had to leave them inside all day; they get real noisy once they've had their breakfast if they aren't let out.
