Michigan Secretary of State wants to speed up service at branch offices By Steve Carmody • Apr 11, 2019 steve carmody / Michigan Radio Michigan's Secretary of State says it's time to modernize her department's 131 branch offices. Jocelyn Benson spent the past few months visiting each office in all of Michigan's 83 counties. She says she didn't like what she saw. "Too often people need to wait in line too long to have their business done with the Secretary of State's office," Benson told reporters at a news conference in Detroit Thursday. "It is unacceptable and it needs to change." Snyder undecided about approving anti-abortion license plate By The Associated Press • Jun 6, 2017 msmail / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 A spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Rick Snyder says he's undecided about signing legislation that would require Michigan to create and sell an anti-abortion fundraising license plate. The Republican-led Senate enrolled S.B. 163 Tuesday after it won mostly party-line approval in the Legislature. ACLU opposes Grand Rapids consideration of license plate scanners By The Associated Press • Apr 26, 2017 Mark Brush / Michigan Radio The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is offering its opposition to Grand Rapids' plans to use license plate scanning technology for parking enforcement. The Grand Rapids Press reports the ACLU of Michigan's western region unit sent a letter to city officials this week, saying that the scanners are another piece of surveillance technology that reduces "personal privacy rights and empowers the surveillance society."

Michigan bill regulates license plate readers By The Associated Press • Sep 8, 2013 LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan lawmaker is planning to introduce legislation to regulate the use of devices that photograph license plates.Rep. Sam Singh says his upcoming bill would require police agencies to delete license plate records from data systems within 48 hours unless the record is evidence of specific criminal wrongdoing.The East Lansing Democrat said last week that innovative law enforcement ideas are needed to keep the public safe. But Singh says "a vast, unbridled data collection system cannot be tolerated in this state." How about this license plate: RU Nuts? By Jack Lessenberry • Jan 31, 2012 We've got a few serious problems in this state, from the fact that we lost almost a million jobs in the past decade to the inconvenient truth that higher education has become both essential for all and highly unaffordable for a large percentage of us. Throw in that our largest city is quivering on the brink of state takeover and the Asian carp threat, and you might conclude that our lawmakers had more than enough to keep them busy without veering off into divisive distractions. "Choose Life" plates: what will they pay for? By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jan 27, 2012 The newsroom 8-ball says: "Answer hazy, try again later." As we reported earlier this week, a proposal in the state legislature that would create a "Choose Life" specialty Michigan license plate cleared a Senate committee and has made its way to the chamber floor. If the proposal passes, proceeds from the plates would go to a newly-formed organization called the Choose Life Michigan Fund. A Facebook fan responded, writing: "These 'pregnancy resource centers' and 'other prolife entities' actively evangelize and attempt to convert vulnerable women to their version of Christianity." This comment got us wondering, if the proposal passes, what exactly will money from the plates pay for? MPRN's Capitol Bureau Chief Rick Pluta weighed in on the question of whether or not the proposed legislation would allow pro-life groups to use money raised by the state to proselytize in any way. "Choose Life" specialty plate clears Michigan Senate committee By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jan 24, 2012 user Snappy.joneS / Flickr Last week, Michigan Radio's Zoe Clark reported on a bill introduced in the Michigan Legislature that would "create a specialty license plate to raise money for the Right to Life of Michigan Fund." Now, the Associated Press reports that the bill has cleared its first legislative hurdle, garnering unanimous approval from the Michigan Senate Transportation Committee. From the AP: The legislation would allow Michigan residents to buy a "Choose Life" license plate with a portion of the money going to Right to Life. The organization says the money would go to abortion prevention projects. The bill will now make its way to the state Senate floor, the Associated Press reports. -John Klein Wilson, Michigan Radio Newsroom Michigan Senate Committee to review 'Choose Life' specialty plate legislation By Zoe Clark • Jan 17, 2012 msmail / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 The Michigan Senate Transportation Committee is scheduled to review a bill today that would create a specialty license plate to raise money for the Right to Life of Michigan Fund. According to Right to Life of Michigan, drivers would be able to purchase the specialty plates to support the pro-life cause. Lawmakers have previously tried to bring up similar legislation, but it has failed. According to mlive.com: About half the U.S. has "Right to Life" specialty plates, but their roll-out has been contentious. Groups in several states have mounted legal challenges on First Amendment grounds, some successfully, some not. The Supreme Court has let stand state rulings barring production of the plates. Most recently, in November, a North Carolina judge blocked production of the plates until a legal battle was resolved. The American Civil Liberties Union argued production of the plates constituted "viewpoint discrimination" because there was no corresponding pro-choice alternative. Michigan State Senator Patrick Colbeck introduced the legislation, also known as Senate Bill No. 600.

You too might have a shocked look on your face if you just got charged with capital murder after stabbing your wife dead for changing the channel.
Reality must be sinking in for Tony Thomas, 58, who said he came back inside his house on November 19 and saw the channel was changed from the football game he was watching. He then asked his wife, Elke Thomas, what the score of the game was he was watching.
Court documents say his wife began yelling at him and an argument ensued. He then went to the wall, grabbed a knife and he began stabbing her with it, according to an affidavit from Anthony Counts, a detective with the Lonoke County sheriff's office.
Tony Thomas told authorities he blacked out during the encounter. The affidavit said, "He claimed he'd blacked out and when he 'came to,' he was over her with a knife in his hands."
"He admitted to dragging her outside and calling the sheriff's office," Counts affidavit continued. Thomas was charged as a habitual offender because he has been convicted of felonies in the past.
He is being held at Lonoke County jail and was not given bail.

@ErvinProduction
Tips? Info? Send me a message!
as i was reading this article, not only was i sad but also very upset, too.
Tony Thomas, is a criminal, there is no doubt, in my mind. Why did his wife, have to die??? Just because she changed the channel on the tv, there was no reason for her to die!! He acted so bad—so unbelievably bad, but there was no reason to end her life, like that!!


text: Fans of Parks and Recreation have been looking forward to the "Wedding of the Millennium" ever since the moment that Ben Wyatt first locked eyes with Leslie Knope. Amy Poehler and Adam Scott's on-screen chemistry is undeniable, so when they and Mike Schur (Parks & Rec's creator, writer, producer and director) took a media call on Wednesday to talk about the upcoming nuptials, it should come as no surprise that the trio's rapport was just as charming. Below are the highlights.

Kanye West Hits the Wyoming Mountains For Some Much Needed Inspo
Kanye is getting his life up in those Wyoming mountains.
Ever since being hospitalized last November, Kanye has been keeping a low profile, which is uncommon for the rambunctious Mr. West we know so well. Most recently, he skipped the Met Gala and deleted both his Instrgam and Twitter accounts leaving his rants behind all together. We all need to retreat away from the public eye and noisiness of social media sometimes, so I'm all for the occasional "out of sight" endeavor.
But on the flip side, sources say the he's probably working on his upcoming project. Ye has been known to use destinations as his muses, two being Hawaii and Paris. And according to TMZ, he's self-caring it up at a Wyoming mountaintop retreat.
The "Ultra Light Beam" star has been there for about a week and was apparently there two weeks earlier. Hopefully this is not only an indication of some new music on the way, but also physical, spiritual and emotional wellness for the rapper we love to hate.
A follow up to last year's The Life of Pablo, Ye shared that his next project would be named Turbo Grafx 16, however this is yet to be confirmed.

Destiny 2: Forsaken – Wanted: Silent Fang Weekly Bounty
Every week Spider, the new vendor and our uneasy ally in the Tangled Shore in the Reef, will offer several Wanted Bounties for us to complete. These bounties are new in Destiny 2: Forsaken and reminiscent of Petra Venj's Wanted Bounties in Destiny. This guide will help you finish the Wanted: Silent Fang bounty.
Wanted: Silent Fang
The Wanted: Silent Fang bounty is a weekly bounty available for purchase from Spider for five Ghost Fragments. Its lore text reads as follows:
"The EDZ must become humanity's next city. We can't lose our foothold here." – Devrim Kay
The Wanted Bounties deal with several prisoners that have escaped from the Prison of Elders. You may encounter them on your patrols, and you can recognize them by the "Wanted" part of their name. This particular bounty requires Guardians to be Power Level 500, but in reality, you'll want to try to be stronger than that. It counts as a Weekly Bounty and will reward you with Powerful Gear.
Wanted: Silent Fang Adventure
You can find the Silent Fang adventure in the EDZ, located in the central Lost Sector in the Sludge.
Silent Fang is a massive Fallen, and you need to fight him in a small room. Also, the room is filled with enemies. You will notice that Fang has a shield, and there are appear to be some kind of shield-generating Servitors in the room. Shoot Shanks until an orb is dropped, then pick it up and throw it at the Servitors. Fang's shield will go down, and you will be able to damage him. Repeat the cycle until he is dead!
For more help tracking down other escapees from the Prison of Elders and assistance with the Spider's Wanted Bounties, check out our Destiny 2 Guide Hub.

The world is split up into 7 facets.
The facet before there were others, Felucca is the original. This facet allows non-consentual PvP and the stealing from other players. Player housing is allowed in Felucca. Resources are double here, and it is the only facet in which a power scroll can be obtained at a Champion Spawn.
Trammel was introduced with the Renaissance expansion. Non-consensual PvP is not allowed, nor are players stealing from players. Also, spells such as Wall of Stone and Energy Field will not impact other players in Trammel. Player housing is allowed in Trammel. Every facet except Felucca uses the basic Trammel rules set, with modifications.
Introduced with Third Dawn, Ilshenar was originally only able to be used with the 3D client. With the Blackthorn's Revenge expansion the 2D client was changed to allow access to Ilshenar. Player housing is not allowed here. There are several dungeons (though some players refer to the entire map as "one big dungeon"). Paragon monsters and certain artifacts spawn here. One cannot use the transportation spells Recall, Gate Travel, or Sacred Journey to get into Ilshenar. Entrance to Ilshenar is exclusively through moongate. Ilshenar's gates are located at the Shrines of Virtue and the Shrine of Chaos. One can, however, leave Ilshenar using Recall or Sacred Journey (but not Gate Travel).
Malas was introduced with the Age of Shadows expansion. Its primary features are the cities of Luna and Umbra, lots and lots of player housing, and the Dungeons Doom and Bedlam. There are several unique locations as well, such as Grimswind Ruins.
The Tokuno Islands
The Tokuno Islands are 3 islands introduced with the Samurai Empire expansion. The islands are Asian themed. Player housing is allowed, but only to a limited extent, thus making real estate there very expensive. There is one city, Zento. It has several dungeons. Use of the transporation spells Sacred Journey, Recall, and Gate Travel is unrestricted in Tokuno except in the dungeons.
Ter Mur
Ter Mur was introduced with the Stygian Abyss expansion. It is primarily a dormant volcanic environ interspersed with lush vegetation and rivers. Inhabited natively by Gargoyles, their ruler is Queen Zhah who holds court within the walled Royal City. Other than a moongate, Ter Mur can be reached by traversing the Stygian Abyss Dungeon from Britannia.
Valley of Eodon
The Valley of Eodon was introduced with the Ultima Online: Time of Legends expansion. It draws inspiration from the classic single player game, Worlds of Ultima: Savage Empires. Through the power of the Time Lord, players are able to explore this land.

BISMARCK — State officials and oil industry leaders want to commission a study of lightning strikes at saltwater disposal sites, the Bismarck Tribune reported.
Lightning has hit saltwater facilities in western North Dakota at least four times since June. The strikes have caused fires, as well as spills of oil and brine.
Salty water known as brine comes up to the earth's surface alongside oil and gas at well sites, and it's carried by pipeline or truck to disposal wells where it's processed through tanks and injected back underground for storage.
People familiar with the facilities say tanks made of fiberglass seem to be particularly susceptible to fires when lightning strikes.
The North Dakota Oil and Gas Research Council last week took an initial step to commission a study of the issue, deciding to pursue a request for proposals. The council, made up of state officials and representatives from the energy industry, identifies oil- and gas-related research projects to pursue. Up to $10 million in oil taxes fund its activities each biennium.
The state's Industrial Commission, chaired by the governor, will need to grant approval to move forward. Industrial Commission Executive Director Karlene Fine said that could happen at its next meeting Aug. 28.

That is the question of the day. How do you display your family photos in a beautiful, elegant and personal way in your house?
There are many thoughts on this subject. Some say that family photos should be in non-public areas of the house. Which means they are off limits in the living room, dining room, family room and kitchen. However, some also say that they shouldn't be in private areas of the house like your bedroom as well. What is a homeowner to do?
I believe your treasured family photos can be in any room of your house as long as you make a statement with them. That means a couple things:
1) Pick a frame color and style. The key is to keep the frame style consistent. If you want to mix it up, you can mix together black and white frames, or gold and silver frames, as long as they are the same frame style.
2) Can you vary the size of the frames? Yes, but only if it takes up most of the wall. Varied size frames look best on walls with angles like a staircase. Arrange them in a staggered pattern that follows the angle of the wall. Remember to allow breathing room between the frames. The size of the breathing room is up to you.
3) Pick a focus wall and use the entire space to make a statement. Nothing looks worse than a bunch of little picture frames on a large wall. I love a collection of photos in all one size frame with a large mat. You photos are transformed into artwork.
4) Black and white. If your photos are color, convert them to black and white to unify the space. It's especially important if you are varying your frame sizes and colors.
If you make a statement with your photos, you can hang them in any room you want.

Free your
Decide today, now even, to say no to negative thoughts, be fed up of them, be tired of them. Say to yourself it's not going to be like that anymore. Choose to be in control of your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them control you. I know it's so easy to talk about being positive and putting it into practice can be a real effort, but aren't you fed up of being hard on yourself? Aren't you fed up of that little negative voice that always puts doubt and fear in your mind? Aren't you ready for a new way, a better way of being?
Negative thoughts can sometimes feel like you've got caught in a giant spider's web. You get your hand stuck, so use your other hand to try and escape and aargh that gets stuck too! Then you turn around and, yep, before you know it, you're completely enveloped in this giant web of negative thoughts. It can be a real struggle to escape.
But at that moment, when you can't see a way out, when you're getting devoured by your thoughts, you just need to try forcing yourself to think of one good thing and focus on it. This helps to break your flow, distracts you, and it's then that you can cut part of the web loose. It helps you to control your attention, maybe it makes you smile even! and that helps you to remember another good thing, and another, and another, and eventually you turn into the spider! You can climb over the web, control it and even reel it back in.
It's ok if it doesn't work the first time you try it. Even if it's the tenth time and you still can't break free, it's ok. With each attempt you're learning to take back control and that's all that matters. You're saying to your subconscious that you're in charge now, you're under new management and things are going to be different.
You have to decide this, choose it with all of your being, live it every day and it will bring lightness back into your life. Watch your thoughts every second and don't dwell on them if they make you feel bad. This might not happen overnight, it's a process that when really focused on it can really change your life around so decide today to think differently.
Love and light

Our Values (Part 5): "We Are With And For One Another" – All of Jesus For Everyone – James Lusk
God has established a unique and beautiful unity for His people…but what are we doing to guard unity in our local church?
Rachel, thanks for sharing what God is doing in your life, and how the Heart for the City bus tour stirred vision in your life for our city. Recorded at our Sunday Celebration on May 15th, 2016.

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors to Ayr when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches up.
After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.
She repeats this gesture about five more times.
When she is about to hand him another batch again he asks the little old lady, "Why don't you eat the peanuts yourself?"
"We can't chew them because we've no teeth," she replied.
The puzzled driver asks, "Why do you buy them then?"
The old lady replied, "We just love the chocolate around them."

Is a cry I hear from many students in their journey to learn dance, from ALL levels of dancers from beginners to competition champions! In this artiicle will de-mysify the musical beat so everyone can enjoy moving in time.
All Ballroom dance music – but not necessarily all music – will have a beat – which means you can clap your hands or tap your foot regularly to the music. If you relax your mind and body and feel rather than listen to the music – the beat is usually played with drums or other percussive instrument within the music. Try to listen to the instruments playing rather than the lyrics – which are often do not help you find the rhythm. It's easier to find the beat of a faster piece of music such as Quickstep or Cha Cha Cha, and more difficult to find the beat in slower music such as the Waltz or Rumba (and you won't feel like clapping anymore) – but it's there. Sway and see if you can feel it.
But more than just a beat – Ballroom music has rhythm – which is a regular occurrence of an accented or stronger beat within the music. It's like the drummer hits the drums a little stronger – or the musician emphasises one beat every 3 or 4 beats. It's not always obvious – but as you are clapping or swaying – close your eyes and try to feel a place where the beat is a little stronger. If you struggle, it's often at the beginning of a chorus sung by the vocals or the beginning of the melody. This accented beat is what we need to find in order to start dancing correctly with the music. We call this accented beat – Beat 1.
Ballroom music has an accented beat either every three or four beats. If you feel an accented beat every three beats then the music is a Waltz, slow for Modern Waltz and quick for Viennese Waltz. If you feel the accent every four beats then it could be any of the other dances. Music which has an accented beat every four beats is very common in today's popular music. As you feel the music, see if you can count 1,2,3,4 (or 1,2,3 for Waltz). Sense the accent (beat 1) and then the beats following (2,3,4).
To identify which dance you then – after identifying the beat – need to listen more carefully to the style, tempo, and 'flavour' of the music. The passionate Tango is quite different from the dance of love the Rumba, and the Quickstep different to the Slow Foxtrot, particularly in tempo, even through they are all danced to music grouped in four beats.
Finally – dances of similar tempo can be identified by the rhythm. The galloping syncopation of the Samba is quite different to the brisk but steady "Big Band" Quickstep and again different from the syncopated Jive rhythm.
Check out our DK Spotify Playlists to experience the difference Dancesport music.
Monica Fincham is the Principal of Dancesport Kingdom in Lilydale, Victoria, Australia A former champion ballroom dancer – over the last 11 years she has now helped more than 1000 adults and children beginners start to dance – adding music, passion and confidence to each of their lives. Some of her students have themselves gone on to be champions. She is also a Grade 8 AMEB pianist and studied music theory – which she attributes greatly to her success. "A deep understanding of music, it's meaning, its development and culture is a big advantage for the dancer."

In agreeing with these entrepreneurs and authors, Nobel Peace Prize winner and micro finance pioneer, Muhammad Yunus, takes us back to when human history began.
He tells of how, when we were in the caves, we were all self-employed, finding food to feed ourselves.
With the advent of civilization, we began to suppress ourselves and became "labours" because they stamped us, "You are labour." We forgot that we are entrepreneurs.
Such statements have a potential to spark robust debate on whether there is validity on the views held by the gentlemen referred to above. Be that as it may, I love the concept that these views invoke — that being an entrepreneur doesn't always mean you have to go start your own company. One can be an entrepreneur with a job.
But let's snap back to reality! If we are to stick to a narrow definition of entrepreneurial process (which includes all functions and activities executed in pursuit of business opportunities and creation of business start-ups in order to generate value) , entrepreneurship is often associated with starting a new business or activities of small and medium enterprises.
Indeed, starting a new business is the most evident and widespread form of entrepreneurial activity which somehow justifies this simplified characterization of entrepreneurship with business start-ups.
In the broader business sense today, being entrepreneurial has come to mean more than just the business acumen required to turn an idea into an enterprise.
It is also used to characterize a combination of skill and mindset to innovate, create, and take calculated risk-taking, amongst others.
Because the term is not exclusively used for individuals, it is applies to organisational teams and entire organisational cultures. That is where the concept of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) comes in.
Approaches to Corporate Entrepreneurship. Although there is no unanimity on the meaning of the term or activities characterizing corporate entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship literature that has emerged in recent years provides consensus on using the term "Corporate entrepreneurship" to refer to different types of entrepreneurial behaviour in existing large organizations that seeks to encourage innovation to achieve competitive advantage at all levels of the business.
There are indeed different schools of thought on corporate entrepreneurship, the four basic ones being Corporate Venturing (related to investing in start-up and management of new small firms by a large company), Intrapreneurship (based on individuals employed in a large company to assume entrepreneurial behaviour), Bringing the Market Inside (market approach towards implementing structural changes in an organization in order to encourage entrepreneurial behaviour) & Entrepreneurial Transformation (emphasizes importance of adapting to an ever-changing environment).
To add a "caveat", appreciating that corporate entrepreneurship takes many forms and shapes, this article is focusing only on the 3rd school of thought, which is Intrapreneurship.
Nurture your corporate entrepreneurs . So it is evident that there is a sweeping wave of entrepreneurs who intuitively understand the discipline of the marketplace in big organizations.
Some do not have the courage to take the leap of faith and start their own businesses. Others, who are gifted with entrepreneurial brains, or trained as such, choose to remain employed. Organizations cannot afford to be callous towards these employees.
It is important to create an entrepreneurship culture that allows them to thrive internally. An organisational culture does not grow on its own.
It must be deliberately cultivated through concerted action. Creating that sort of culture lies with management. Management's ability to trust people is key in supporting entrepreneurial activity. Yes, managers have the responsibility to ensure that the company achieves its strategic and financial objectives; otherwise shareholders will continuously be on their case demanding return on their investments, and legitimately so.
This is not to say your employees need to be allowed to spend all work hours pursuing their delights and intrigues because that is not going to give you success every time.
However, managers need to create room for employees to explore new products and technologies that have potential to satisfy market needs whilst giving you impact and reward, lest you find yourself competing for the same customers.
Although it may, glance it, seem like fostering entrepreneurial employees is essentially shooting yourself in the foot since they will just go and start-up their business after all the effort, it's inevitable that they will sooner or later seek spaces that will appreciate and nurture their entrepreneurial zest. The benefits of this effort for the organization more than outweigh these risks.
They won't settle for anything less, at least not for long. And remember what they say, "the best startups typically are a group of entrepreneurs working together".
This could start in your organization and explode into competition. So, again, it's about managing the organisational paradox: balancing freedom and discipline. But that balance is always elusive; so one has to constantly work on it.
To stimulate business growth requires a multi-prone approach; one of those is to activate internal entrepreneurship. Survival and growth of your business depends on people.
Thus, if you don't put efforts in attracting, motivating, and retaining those individuals who can help you achieve it is tantamount to betting against yourself.
Your internal entrepreneurs thrive in an environment like that. Once you have identified your entrepreneurs, you need to encourage them to take more chances and take lessons from failures they experience along the way.
In some organizations, one still gets a palpable sense that failure is unacceptable; it means you are not performing your job to meet expectations.
Stimulating an entrepreneurial culture also means creating room for failure, and accepting that to get successes, failures are inevitable. Failures can only propel organizations forward.
That way, your employees will start feeling like they are your partners, regardless of organisational hierarchy.
Deliberately stimulate corporate culture to capture opportunities
With growing consensus that companies should promote entrepreneurship within their organisational boundaries, the question is no longer whether large companies should or should not engage in entrepreneurial activity; it is rather what can be done to foster a culture of entrepreneurship within the organization. There has to be some sort of business strategy pursued by organizations (often referred to as corporate entrepreneurship (CE) strategy), which intentionally spells out how the organization plans to engage in various entrepreneurial activities to preserve and reinforce the innovativeness and flexibility from which it is to benefit. Stimulating an entrepreneurial culture has become an important advantage. In the fast-paced business environment today, most organizations no longer hope for an entrepreneurial culture, but rather should strive for it.
Pretty much all businesses need to strive for increased competitiveness and, at some stage of the business — leaders have to pay attention to business growth.
They have seen the ability of start-ups to trigger the impulse of creativity and innovation among their employees more effectively than themselves, and turning those fascinating ideas into commercial ventures — with less sustainability in some instances, but that's a discussion for another day.
So there is evidence of a growing level of interest developing in corporate entrepreneurship, as should be. Indeed, there are companies whose ability to capture new opportunities, and creating success, is attributed to fostering internal entrepreneurial activity. Many organisations have done it and reaped tangible benefits.
This, they have done in different ways, with the right balance of freedom and discipline; through trial and error (as one practice is no bullet proof).
From decentralizing decision-making and pushing it down to lower organisational levels to diligently building a culture of entrepreneurship, they have reaped rewards.
Does your organization value an entrepreneurial culture? How has it added to your competitive advantage?
If you have not been paying attention, remember the Chinese proverb "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

Remember laying out when you were younger? The warm sun on your face, the smell of Coppertone in the wind, squeezing out some Ban de Soliel or baby oil to slather over your legs? The boom box playing some Madonna as you were drinking New Coke? Sun in sprayed into your hair, wishing for blond highlights? Those days are over.
With the ozone layers depleting and worrying about wrinkles and fear for skin cancer, sunblocks are the bomb. My daughter started life guarding this year and I have been on the search for the best sunblocks – and I am going to share those with you! Here goes:
New sunscreen requirements from the FDA may make it easier for you to understand what you're buying. Before you shop for sunscreen, understanding the terms you might find on packages is power. Sunblock is no longer used as a term. SPF of 50-plus doesn't mean anything either. So, I have compiled a good list for you – so no worries.
Here goes:
La Roche-Posay
This sunblock will feel good on the skin and is creamy. This runs if you sweat a lot but you can wear for over 80 minutes without reapplying. It is fragrance free and fast absorbing.
Blue Lizard
This soaks in quickly and doesn't have a bad smell. This will help any sensitive skin users. Great blockage.
Supergoop! has been around for awhile and is a good broad spectrum sunscreen. It is also frangrance and oil-free.

Week 1 Discussion Questions
·What do you think of the line 'Don't judge a boy by his face'?
·Did this affect how much you wanted to read the story?
·How much did this line give away about the story you were about to read?

The line really made me want to read the book so that I could see what happened to him. Mrs. Gott's recommendation, the book art and the flyleaf summary also made me want to read it.ReplyDelete
- Bela CloutierMay 2, 2013 at 9:56 AM
The line 'Don't judge a boy by his face' did make me want to read this book. When I saw this line it made me WONDER what happened to this boys face, and why it's like that. ------ReplyDelete
This line definitely defines the whole story line of this book.
- Phoebe AllenMay 2, 2013 at 9:56 AM
I think that line means that you shouldn't judge a person by what they look like. It means that just because someone is a little different of funny looking, it doesn't mean they're not a kind, funny person. It did make me want to read the book, because I wanted to find out what that line had to do with the story. An the line kind of gave away that the story had something to do with someone that was well, different.ReplyDelete
- Justin ConnollyMay 2, 2013 at 9:57 AM
The line 'Don't judge a boy by his face' made me really want to read this book more than I wanted to, because it made me wonder 'What happened to his face'. The line gave away a little about the story because now we know that his face is messed up, because at first i thought that he was just kind of a nerd and that is why people kept looking at him. Lastly the picture on the front of the book gave away what he looked like.ReplyDelete

Enjoy today's segment of my Top 101 songs of 2017. I'll be taking a break from the countdown until Tuesday, when the bottom half of the countdown will be concluded. Today, though, we focus on #70-61.
- Little Beards, "Office Matinee"
Can Sean Kirkpartick do no wrong in the arena of electronic music? This song seems to reinforce the idea that the answer is no.
- Reagan James, "Better Than This"
Reagan released two EP's this year (Message and Honey), both of which show this young lady to be a force in pop music. Perhaps that's why she won Ghostys in both the area of Best Pop Act, as well as Best Female Vocalist.
- Crystal Yates, "Raining in Amarillo"
Fun fact: The Ghost discovered this song one weekend that Ms. Yates was performing in town, and then I kept blanking on her name. Once I rediscovered her and this song, both made a permanent place in my Spotify. What a lovely, heartbreaking Country song.
- Jean Caffeine, "Winterland (Talking Blues)"
Austin singer-songwriter Jean Caffeine composed a lovely, bittersweet reflection on her musical youth. Even though The Ghost was only six when the 1970's ended, it makes me wish I would visit Winterland.
- Medicine Man Revival (feat. -Topic), "We Are Love"
The Ghost has been a supporter of Keite Young ever since discovering him back in 2010 when he fronted The Black & Blue. It's good to see Mr. Young discover such success with his new project, Medicine Man Revival.
- Farah, "The Only Ones"
Farah's delivery may be droll and flat, yet that's the charm of this track. That, as well as the sick beat that accompanies her on "The Only Ones."
- Ty Richards, "Shoulda Coulda Woulda"
This track should've gotten more exposure from The Ghost. Had I blogged more in the first half of 2017, it could have (and would have) gotten the attention from me it deserved. Oh well, shoulda coulda woulda.
- Ronnie Fauss (feat. Ben Kweller), "Saginaw Paper Mill"
Generally, The Ghost has found Mr. Fauss' ballads to be his musical highlights. This time, he managed a real winner with this rocker. The musical assistance from Ben Kweller likely didn't hurt matters.
- JIBE, "We've Only Just Begun"
One might be tempted to view the reunion of JIBE as a nostalgia act. Tunes like "We've Only Just Begin" show that the band's new material keeps them relevant in today's era of music.
- The Birds of Night, "Blackout"
The Birds released this new track this year, and guess what? It rocks. What a shocker, right?

This is the first time i've tried to get FreeviewHD working on my Sony Bravia 46" KDL-46W5500 TV and for some reason it's not working ... presumably because of the signal. My TV has a built in tuner.
I've just moved to Mount Eden in Auckland and i've had no luck getting the signals, probably because I don't have a UHF Aerial on my roof? I have no idea what's up there, there could be a sky dish or just a normal VHF antenna but i can't see anything.
There is however a white TV Aerial Jack/Input on the skirting boards inside that i have plugged my TV into but as i said before no signal there. I then proceeded to buy an Indoor UHF/VHF Amplifier TV Antenna but there is no improvement there either, and get's worse reception on 1 2 and 3 than plugging it into the jack.
Is there something i'm not doing on my TV right? Should i be using the Digital or Analogue TV option?
The Digital brings me back no signal at all and won't scan and find anything, and the Analogue just seems to find 1, 2, 3 and TV 4. Prime is pretty awful.
My thoughts is that i need to get a Proper UHF Aerial on my roof, but before i go out and get one installed, is there something i'm not doing on my TV?
Cheers ...

We have friends living in the same apartment building. They happen to be from Tamil Nadu. Was hanging around at their place when pangs of hunger struck me.. 😉 So I decided to prepare some dinner at their place… I wanted to cook something from Southern India..
I was racking my brains & remembered this yummy tomato kolumbu (Sambar in Tamil Nadu) my mum prepares which is a perfect accompaniment for Idli's (Indian steamed rice dumplings). I thought of preparing an egg curry with that recipe in mind. This has a few modifications from that original recipe though. This is hotter compared to that recipe as I have added some black peppercorns & it's perfect for dinner with some chapatis' on a cold night.
Ingredients: (Serves 4-6) Preparation Time: 20 mins (Minus the time taken for boiling eggs)
Eggs – 8, boiled and de-shelled
Onion – 1 large, diced finely & divided into 2 equal portions
Garlic – 2 cloves, chopped roughly
Ginger – 1 inch piece, chopped
Cloves – 2 whole
Coriander seeds – 1 tsp
Roasted Bengal gram/pottu kadalai in Tamil/ Roasted gram – 1.5 tbsp
Black peppercorns – 2 tsp
Tomatoes – 3 medium-sized, chopped into cubes
Red chilli powder – 1/4 tsp or more, depending on your taste
Cumin powder – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder – a pinch
Yogurt – 3 tbsp
Cooking oil – 2 tbsp
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Coriander leaves – 1-2 sprigs, chopped
Salt to taste
Start frying one portion of the onions in a deep bottom fry pan when the oil is hot. Make sure the heat is set to medium. Add some salt to reduce the time to fry the onions. Also add a pinch of turmeric. Meanwhile when the onions are getting done prepare the paste.
Preparing the paste:
Heat a fry pan and dry roast the coriander seeds along with the cloves, just till the coriander seeds turn a light brown. Add one portion of the diced onions along with the ginger, garlic, roasted bengal gram, black pepper corns to a blender or a food processor jar and grind it into a smooth paste. Add some water if required.
When the onions are translucent add the prepared paste and fry. Lower heat. Make sure the paste does not burn. Add some water to the blender jar, just to make sure we do not waste the paste stuck to the walls of the jar. We can add this water later on.
After about 4-5 minutes into the paste frying process add the red chilli, turmeric, cumin powder & fry for another 2-3 minutes. Roughly tear the curry leaves & add them. Next add tomatoes and fry them. Add some salt. When the raw flavours of the mixture begin to fade away add the fragrant water from the blender jar. Mix well. Add another 2 cups or 400 ml of water. Adjust salt. Increase the heat to medium so that the curry comes to a boil and any raw flavours if left fade away.
While the curry is set to a boil, cut each boiled egg into 2 & keep aside. After the curry has bubbled for at least 2-3 mins add the yogurt, mix well. Next add the eggs and let the curry bubble for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Garnish with some chopped coriander leaves.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with some hot chapatis'.

Details of the second Torre del Mar International Air Show were unveiled by mayor of Vélez-Málaga, Antonio Ferrer and Deputy Mayor, Jesús Antencia, last week. The event, which will take place on 28, 29 and 30 July, will see 40 aircraft flying over the Torre del Mar coast, including participation from the Turkish Stars, the Spanish F18 fighter jet and Belgian and French air forces.
On Friday and Saturday residents and visitors will be able to see the various planes practicing for the main event, which will be on Sunday. Atencia said at a press conference last week that the 2016 air show brought, "100 per cent occupancy in the town's hotels and a huge economic impact."
Organisers of this year's event have said that "safety and security are the priority" and that they are collaborating with Spanish armed forces.

A Pyro Designs prototyped this ingenious animated Mario fidget spinner, designed by Garrett Kearney. Fidgety zoetropic fun!
A Pyro Designs prototyped this ingenious animated Mario fidget spinner, designed by Garrett Kearney. Fidgety zoetropic fun!
If Mad Max had a fidget spinner, it would probably resemble this one. Make your own with a bearing, assorted nuts, and a few zip ties. No tools necessary. (MAKE:)
"Engaging in fine motor activity may assist students with ADHD in resisting the pull of distraction."
Wired's Rhett Allain built a rig with a laser and light sensor to study fidget spinner physics and determine how long it will spin based on the starting angular velocity. Allain's article will make a great teachable moment for my kids, as in I'll ask them to read it and explain it to me. From Wired:
Read the rest
If I know the starting angular speed and I assume a final angular speed of zero radians per second, I can calculate the spin time:
All I need is the angular acceleration—assuming it remains constant as the spinner slows. I could calculate the angular acceleration based on the change in angular velocity, but this isn't so simple to measure. The spinner moves too quickly to get a good video of its motion, so I will use a laser in a rig I built to measure the change in the angular velocity.
Basically, the laser shines down onto a light sensor. As the spinner spins, it occasionally blocks the sensor, interrupting the laser. By measuring the values from the light sensor, I determine the spin rate. But this creates a couple of problems. First, the light change rate and the rotation rate differ because the three "lobes" in the spinner create multiple openings during each rotation. Second, the spinner will spin for a significant amount of time such that it would be difficult to analyze it all at once...
Now for the fun trick. Instead of looking at a giant plot of light vs. time (the full data is over 2 minutes), I will plot the Fourier transform of this data.

In Latin America, despite the growing influence of international retail chains, small independent supermarkets run by solopreneurs and traditional stores managed by families account for 45% to 61% of all consumer-goods sold.

For her new solo exhibition Clearing, Katie West weaves the many threads of her practice together: natural dyeing, meditation and the creation of reading and listening spaces where the voices of Indigenous people dominate.
Opening at TarraWarra Museum of Art on 23 March 2019, Clearing continues Ms West's multisensory installations which call for a renewal of human connections with and within the natural environment.
The exhibition is comprised of floor to ceiling textile works, cushions and seating, all naturally dyed using plants collected from the local region, as well as key texts by Indigenous writers including Kerry Arabena, Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin and Bruce Pascoe.
It is a space to listen, read and converse, and ask ourselves: How do we relate to this country? How do we relate to the earth?
As Ms West described, "Clearing is a space to recall with our bodies that this is a world that emerges through reciprocity, the infinite instances of chemical exchange and dialogue between plants, animals, microbes, natural elements and phenomena.
"Naturally dyed fabrics carrying the colour and scent of country create an opening in a landscape and political climate where it is easy to forget our place in the complex systems that sustain life on this planet.
"This is the setting for meditation, reading, listening and conversation, where we can come together to consider a global outlook that is grounded in Wurundjeri country and the bioregion within which TarraWarra Museum of Art is situated," Ms West said.
Katie West: Clearing is on display at TarraWarra Museum of Art, 313 Healesville-Yarra Glen Road, Healesville, from 23 March – 19 May 2019.

Palmer v Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust [2017]
EWHC 2460 (QB) (15 September 2017)
Jade Palmer was born on 30th August 1994. She suffered oxygen deprivation immediately before her birth, causing brain damage which resulted in Jade being born with cerebral palsy. Jade sued the hospital trust running the hospital in which she was born.
Jade's mother, Ms Kim Wadey, was tended to mostly throughout her labour, by midwife Kim Piper.
- Ms Wadey's labour had progressed normally until 20:40hrs.
- At 20:25hrs her cervix was fully dilated and Jade's head was engaged.
- At 20:30hrs active pushing was commenced.
Midwife Piper had been monitoring and recording the baby's heart rate every 5 minutes as is normal. For reasons that were not entirely clear before trial she listened to the heart rate at 20:42hrs, only 2 minutes after her previous routine and expected recording at 20:40hrs. On this occasion, she heard the baby's heart rate drop to 90 beats per minute (90bpm).
Evidence was heard concerning when a drop in heartrate might be a cause for concern and when it may be a normal response of the baby to a contraction. Judge Sir Robert Nelson observed in his judgment;
"Whatever the precise nature of what Midwife Piper heard at 20:40 hours I am satisfied that she was concerned by it. That is why she listened again some two minutes later at 20:42 hours rather than 5 minutes later. What she heard at 20:42 confirmed her concerns. There was a deceleration to 90 bpm with only a "fair" recovery to a lower bpm of 120.
The pattern which followed of further deceleration to below 80 bpm, (nearly 75 bpm with the bpm then remaining at 80 – 90 or 75 – 80) confirms that what Midwife Piper probably heard at 20:40 was the beginning of the developing foetal distress.
Whether she could have heard a deceleration or not, what she did hear caused her concern about the foetal heart rate which rightly led to her listening again in two minutes, rather than five minutes, leading to her hearing the deceleration at 20:42."
At 20:44hrs midwife Piper decided to move Ms Wadey into a room suitable for an assisted delivery. It was at this point that she should have called for assistance according to the Defendant's own policy and ultimately the court.
Evidence was heard that the midwifery desk had to be passed to go to the new room. Instead of requesting assistance however, she merely told the desk that a doctor "might be required", not that one was.
The Trial
At trial, the Defendants conceded that this was a breach of duty and one might reasonably assume from this that the court was bound to find in favour of the Claimant. However, Sir Robert Nelson had to consider what the outcome would have been had midwife Piper actually made the call at 20:44.
Would making this call earlier have made any difference to the outcome?
The level of detail that the court had to go into may at first seem excessive but it was important to try and establish, on the balance of probabilities, what the likely course of events would have been.
The window that the clinicians had to deal with was accepted by both parties to be until 20:58. This is the time that it would have been necessary for Jade to have been delivered in order for her injuries to have potentially been avoided.
The Evidence
There were two registrars on call. The hospital system was that the first registrar would be called, if it became apparent that he was not available, then the second would be paged. If the second registrar was also unavailable, then the consultant should have been called.
The midwife's notes confirm that the first registrar was called at 20:50, but he was in theatre dealing with another emergency and would only become available at 21:05.
Bizarrely, until the trial date, no evidence of any kind had been produced showing that a second registrar was even available. Dr Perkins (the second registrar) had provided no witness statement, nor it seems had one been sought.
The court heard that most hospitals do not have a second registrar but that as this was a particularly large facility one was, on this occasion, routinely provided. Because neither side had picked up on the fact that a second registrar could have been called, the court was left to deduce what, in all likelihood, had happened.
From the notes and evidence, Lord Nelson concluded that the second registrar was available but that he was not called.
Having established that the second registrar was available and was not called, and that the first registrar would never have made it to the delivery room in time, Lord Nelson was then required to construct the most likely timeline of events had hospital policies been adhered to, and the second registrar been called.
So the movements of a person who had never been required to give evidence in the trial were constructed based on the judge's findings of where he would, in all likelihood, have been when he received the call, what he would have been doing and how long it would have taken him to arrive in the delivery room, given where he started from. All this was based on a plan of the hospital. It was then necessary to determine how long it would have taken Dr Perkins (the second registrar) to deliver Jade once he arrived, in order to establish the most likely time of her birth.
How long, on the balance of probabilities, would it have taken for the second on-call registrar to arrive at the delivery room?
The Defendants submitted evidence from an experienced clinician that 10-15 minutes was an expected arrival time for a gynaecology registrar. This was not based on any protocol or guidance but just on his own experience.
The judge found that the 2nd registrar would in all likelihood have been on the ward and less than 125 yards away, and, in all likelihood would not have been dealing with an emergency. He allowed a total of 5 minutes for this notional registrar to arrive in the delivery room. This consisted of;
- A period of 2.5 minutes for a "brisk walk" along the 125 yard distance showed on the hospital plan to the delivery room.
- 1.5 minutes to answer the bleep, appreciate the urgency, cease to examine any patient he was with and explain the need to leave and attend this emergency.
- 1 minute to descend and ascend the stairs at either end of the journey.
"He would therefore on the balance of probabilities have entered the delivery room at 20:52" – Paragraph 89
How long would the delivery have taken after the doctor's arrival?
There was much more expert guidance available on this issue. Having heard from expert gynaecology witnesses from both sides Lord Nelson concluded that the delivery would, on the balance of probabilities, have taken more than 6 minutes. This is crucially the time that the 2nd registrar would, on the balance of probabilities, have had available to him to deliver Jade in good health.
"Even if it was to be assumed that Dr. Perkins was of high skill and experience, I cannot regard it as being more than possible, given the tasks that would have had to be done before the baby could be delivered by forceps, that she would have been born before the end of 20:58. It is certainly possible, but cannot in my judgment be described in all the circumstances as probable.
It is equally likely that the process would have taken an extra minute or more and hence Jade would have been delivered at the time she was actually born namely 21:00.
Six minutes is possible but so is a slightly longer time of seven minutes or even more. I am not able to find that on the balance of probabilities that the delivery time would have been six minutes or less.
He continues…
Whilst I am satisfied that there was a breach of duty by the Defendant, I am not able to find that causation is established. I have found that the second on call registrar was available to be called, that he was not called, but that even if he had been, I am not satisfied that the delivery time would on the balance of probabilities, have been any different to that which in fact it was i.e. 21:00.
That time would have been too late for Jade to have avoided injury. This is a sad and unusual case, in which labour had been entirely normal until 20:40 when, without any prior warning, the foetal heart rate altered and a pattern of deceleration developed leading to foetal distress and birth asphyxia.
The whole process from the first altered heart rate to birth was some twenty minutes. Even if medical assistance had been called as soon as it ought to have been, the evidence does not demonstrate that on the balance of probabilities a different result would have been achieved.
I must accordingly dismiss the claim".
- The trust was negligent in that its employee failed to call the 2nd registrar at all.
- The trust was not liable because even if they had called for assistance from the first registrar by 20:44hrs, and even the second registrar had been called at all, and in that event by 20:47hrs, the outcome for Jade, in the view of the court, would, in all probability, have been exactly the same.

Many people reap the benefits of residence remodeling to increase their residence value. Also, do not forget that products corresponding to tile require plenty of labor, which might rapidly add up and double the cost of renovations. Your contractor can even allow you to stage your challenge over a number of years, adding somewhat bit at a time to save cash and spread out the whole price over a longer time period.\n\nEvidently you should take your time and slowly pry from one end little by little, and even then, you could find yourself cracking the wood. I have been dumb enough to not wear a mask and it will get so unhealthy that I would have to go away the room just to breathe.\n\nIf you're not having a contractor in mind, Design-build is a rising pattern.These design build corporations makes a speciality of small initiatives like residence renovations and constructions. (8) Fees Scenario: Upon getting hired a contractor, architect or a design build firm, it's time to make a written item estimate for the cost of work, including labor and materials.\n\nYour pal, cousin, or real estate agent could know a contractor with experience that can allow you to transform your own home. The contractor first creates a sketch of the remodeling work and gets your approval. If you want to transform your rest room, the contractor offers you some designs.\n\nIf you must contemplate the fee, accomplish that while serious about the value of what you may be paying for as any mistakes will go away you spending more time and money in the long run. Contractor referral websites will do all the screening from making sure that the attainable contractors you hire are qualified, insured, licensed and are in good standing at your local BBB.\n\nDoing this costs far less than a whole substitute and might take years off the seems of your current cabinets. Bettering your own home with residence remodeling may be very attainable. Because of this what you herald during a home remodeling job is going to be way over simply enticing.\n\nAs a result of so many people do business from home, having a space where one can work in without distraction can be important. Residence places of work are being created from baby rooms or other smaller rooms in the house. Minimalist design is reigning in the kitchen and other rooms.
