In this very graphic footage of another unarmed Black man being shot by officers of the law, the results from the following footage have provided enough evidence for prosecutors to indict a former Mesquite, Texas police officer on aggravated assault charges in the shooting of Lyndo Jones.
The trial for Derrick Wiley is taking place approximately one week after the police killing of Botham Jean, who was killed by Officer Amber Guyger, whom she says she mistook Jean for a burglar after going into his apartment thinking it was her own. Guyger is facing manslaughter charges.
The Mesquite Police Department, as well as Wiley, are facing federal civil suits in the shooting.

Quietude and pristine beauty cocoon the park. It continues to inspire visitors. Its colourful 4-seasonal vistas and multitude of surprises both natural and structural continue are a big draw – ever since it first opened in 1985. To date, close to 900,000 people annually leave their tread.
Small in Size, Big on Variety
The park's small size (only 8.84 kilometres in area) is deceptive park; as you wander under the canopy of trees a vital ecosystem reveals itself in a plethora of bird life (234 species), and closer to your feet – a maze of fabulous flora (574 distinct plant species).
Deer appear on any given day – only part of the animal diversity: 35 species of mammals, along with fish and reptilian life – all zealously protected by Sépaq. Along with the activities it organizes, Sepaq ensures nature will continue to thrive in harmony with humans who constantly tread on the park's hospitable paths of circuitous routes that frame Saint-Bruno's five landmark lakes.
Cross-country skiing in snowy beauty on New Year's Day
Having spent a full day during summer both on foot and accompanied by Sepaq park guide/warden Suzie in her ATV, I wanted to return in winter.
From the get-go, Mont Saint-Bruno's welcoming Sepaq employees demonstrated expertise and enthusiasm. Take for example Rosalie at the ticket accueil who never stop smiling. And there there's Sarah at the rental area who not only waxed my old skis, but suggested I try newer equipment.
She selected a spanking new pair of Rosignol skis, boots and sleek ski poles (mine were too short). Looking at the trail map Rosalie had given me, she suggested I try trail 1. Suzie took initiative to call upon ski patroller, Timothé Plante. My first day of the New Year was about to turn gloriously in sync with the outstanding weather. The sun was shining, a fresh crop of snow had just fallen, and it was unseasonably warm.
Timothé… a guide of unparalleled passion for the outdoors
Meeting Timothé was a godsend. Not only was he incredibly patient and considerate with me. His long time experience skiing on the mountain – he started at the age of four – came into play at every turn. Only 24 years old, this remarkable man already boasts exceptional immersion experience in the outdoors; he obtained a leadership adventure guiding certificate from B.C.'s Trinity College. He has scaled mountains all over the world, including the Rockies, the Himalayas, and the Sierra Nevada in the USA. He recently spent a stint in Norway honing more of his skills, and had just returned from British Columbia where he skied, rock climbed and camped for long periods of time.
|Timothé Plante ski patrolling at Mont-Saint-Bruno
Hearing that I had not yet been on skis last month, he mapped out a "made-to-measure-route". We began on trail # 1 and eventually merged onto trail # 5. The park has a 35-kilometre cross-country-ski network whose nine trails range from easy to very difficult.
(3 lake photos below taken by Jean Claude Honjik)
A terrain of tree growth amidst brooks greeted the eye at every turn.
He always announced an upcoming "hill" I was about to descend. As time passed, my confidence soared. We had skiing a few hours, chalking up about 10 kilometres. Scenic vistas transported me into snowy, tree-filled realms of ski-gliding delight.
Time to pause
|A log fire in front of the tea house
We went into the tea house - once an 18th-century mill. The teas and scones hit the spot.
Here, we met up with Marie-Andray Chouinard – Timothé's mother who also ski patrols here.
In fact, they are the only patrollers for its recreation ski trails. Marie-Andray is also the park warden at Îles de Boucherville Park which I visited n the summer and this part November.

I loved my New Year's Day. Perhaps I will return to explore its 3.7 trail of snowshoeing, or simply rediscover its three walking trails to enjoy the contrasting appearance of summer and winter.
Skiing on the trails at night starts in February, and if you love biking, rent one of their fatbikes to ride away.

Michigan offensive coordinator Tim Drevno is leaving Jim Harbaugh's program, according to multiple reports. Drevno, who was with Michigan football since 2015, also coached the Wolverines' offensive line.
Both Sports Illustrated and the Wolverine Lounge reported the news Friday morning.
SOURCES: OC Tim Drevno is stepping down at #Michigan. The Wolverine Lounge first reported the news.

BREAKING: Tim Drevno to resign from Michigan football https://t.co/sDN7SX3shi pic.twitter.com/QG9LKwsmbr
— The Wolverine Lounge (@WolverineLounge) February 23, 2018
Bruce Feldman of Sports Illustrated also reported that Ed Warriner, who Michigan hired as an analyst, would take over Drevno's offensive line coaching duties.
Former #OhioState and #Minnesota OLine coach Ed Warinner who was hired as an analyst in Ann Arbor is expected to take over the Wolverines OL with Drevno stepping down. https://t.co/GBtpD0D6os
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) February 23, 2018
Michigan's offense struggled under Drevno in 2017. Michigan averaged 25.2 points and 348.9 yards per game last season. Those numbers ranked eighth and ninth in the Big Ten, respectively. Using three different quarterbacks, Michigan's passing game was especially stagnant in 2017. The Wolverines ranked 11th in the Big Ten in passing yards with 171.2 per game last season.
Michigan had the Big Ten's best scoring offense in 2016 with 40.0 points per game. The Wolverines gave Drevno a five-year contract extension last offseason and he made $1.15 million last season, according to the USA Today coaching salary database.
Drevno also had jobs on Harbaugh's staffs at Stanford and with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL. He spent the 2014 season with USC before coming to Ann Arbor.
There was no official word yet from Michigan about Drevno's departure or who would fill the role of offensive coordinator. Harbaugh recently added former Florida head coach Jim McElwain to his staff as the wide receivers coach. McElwain previously worked as Alabama's offensive coordinator under Nick Saban.
The post Tim Drevno stepping down as Michigan's offensive coordinator, per reports appeared first on Land of 10.

Have you heard about the Birds and the Bees?
This month's theme for the Dirty Dozen Active and Alumni girls is all about Spring, Birds, and Bees! The only restriction Joanne gave us was that we could NOT use decorative border punches *EEEEEEKS!* She really cut me to the bone on that one, but I made it through;)
It just so happens that the Caffinated Cropper kit this month, The Beez Kneez, is just PERFECT for this theme! The card base, dp's, stamps, and pearls are all from the kit! The bees, sentiment, and the sun are all from the Nikki Silvis stamp set included in the kit! I stamped the big bee on a piece of yellow dp and cut it out and then popped it up! I love the teeny bees, aren't they cute?
I used Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #130 for the layout, LOVE this sketch!
Check out the DD Challenge Gallery for tons of eye candy! I can't wait to go hoppin' through the Birds and Bees cards:)

Review: Unacknowledged
Unacknowledged, a documentary by Dr. Steven Greer via Sirius Disclosure, is one of the most compelling arguments of the 21st Century for life forms outside of our planet. Millions of Americans have been kept in the dark about how and where their tax dollars are spent. We would likely have a better chance of escaping a black hole than we would in leaking the details and blueprints of the elite's toils. Continue reading Review: Unacknowledged

Olympic Champion and Mutual of Omaha BREAKout Swim Clinic managing partner, Josh Davis, celebrates being left-handed on Left Handers Day.
Today, August 13th, is annual International Left Handers Day where we take a moment to celebrate all those who have not just survived but thrived in this right handed dominant world. I am very proud to be left handed, my wife is left handed, and our first born son is left handed. Whenever I meet another left hander we wink at each other kind of like X-Men do when they meet each other because we are both aware of our special giftedness. For example:
One study showed left handers can adjust to seeing underwater quicker!
In honor of the great left handed swimmers like the fastest woman in the world right now, Ranomi Kromowidjojo, 3 time Olympian Ian Crocker, 6 time Olympic Coach Eddie Reese and the legendary Mark Spitz, we always start our one arm drills in swimming with the left arm. So if you're training today remember to do left arm first on butterfly, backstroke and freestyle one arm drills to pay homage to all the left handers that make this world a better place.
Although we can't transfer our God given "specialness" to you right handers out there, here are two interesting studies that might help you perform more optimally like us left handers:
1) By squeezing a ball with the left hand, which activates the right hemisphere of the brain, participants in a 2010 study in Israel scored higher on a creative problem-solving test than those who squeezed the ball with the right hand and others who did nothing with their hands.
2) In a 2012 study, German researches found that right-handed athletes were less likely to choke under pressure when they clenched their left fists before competing. By activating the brain's right hemisphere this way, these athletes were limiting the probability of overthinking their movements or ruminating (associated with the left hemisphere) and more likely to rely on motor skills developed over years of performance (associated with the right hemisphere). (Success Magazine, pg 12, Aug. 2013)
Other notable left handers:
Barack Obama, Sylvester Stallone and Rocky, Sting, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Justin Bieber, Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Aristotle, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Bill Gates, Jimi Hendrix, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Jim Carrey, Peirce Brosnan, Charlie Chaplin, Tom Cruise, Marilyn Monroe, Celine Dion, Napoleon Bonaparte, Hellen Keller, Neil Armstrong, Henry Ford, Marie Curie, Prince William, Winston Churchill, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, John McEnroe, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, David Robinson, Tim Tebow, Abraham Lincoln, Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Lawrence, Owen Wilson, Jerry Sienfeld, Jon Stewart, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Jay Leno, Seth Rogan, Howie Mandel, Rashida Jones, James Cameron, Chris Nolan, Joss Wheden, Martina McBride, David Bowie, Adam Levine, Rembrandt, Vincent Van Gogh, Ned Flanders and all 351 residents of Left Hand, W. VA.
SwimSwam wants to know who else in the swimming community is left handed. Today is your today to shine, so left handers stand up and be celebrated.
Tweet Josh at @JoshDavis_USA if you're left handed!

Jimmy Buffett's gone country and it's paid off. The beach bum balladeer sold 239,000 copies of his new album, License to Chill, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to debut Number One. Last year's "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere," a duet with chart-topping country crooner Alan Jackson got New Country fans hip to Buffett. He further courted that constituency by recording Chill with a gaggle of Nashville stars including Jackson (again), Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith and Clint Black. For Buffett, the formula resulted in his first Number One record.
Chill easily held off Usher's Confessions, which has had a stranglehold on Number Two for the past six weeks. The R&B star's latest sold another 125,000 copies and moves past 5 million sold.
The Roots made a strong debut with The Tipping Point. The Philly hip-hop troupe's latest sold 109,000 at Number Four. The Cinderella Story soundtrack, featuring new music by Hilary Duff, was the third newcomer in the Top Ten, selling 73,000 copies at Number Nine.
The chart was peppered with other newcomers: Metallica's Some Kind of Monster EP sold 30,000 copies at Number Thirty-seven, while Sparta's second record, Porcelain, debuted at Number Sixty with sales of 19,000.
Next week looks to be a showdown between Usher and the Hives, whose Tyrannosaurus Hives arrived in stores this week. Sales for the former have cooled, but very slowly, and it's still good for another six-figure sales week. The latter will need to carry over some of the buzzy momentum from their last record, 2002's Veni Vidi Vicious which gradually built a fan base in the States for the Swedish group's brand of stylish, high-octane garage rock.
This week's Top Ten: Jimmy Buffett's License to Chill; Usher's Confessions; Lloyd Banks' Hunger for More; the Roots' Tipping Point; Gretchen Wilson's Here for the Party; Avril Lavigne's Under My Skin; Big and Rich's Horse of a Different Color; Prince's Musicology; the Cinderella Story soundtrack; and Los Lonely Boys' Los Lonely Boys.

Cool Webinar Stuff at Homeschool Connections
Hey, have you been longing for a Ladies Night Out? Yearning for an evening of chatting with some other homeschool moms? Well, have I got a cool opportunity for you: Mom's Night Out While In on February 19th at 7:30 Central Time. This will be a free monthly get together to chat and hang out without leaving the comfort of your home. This is especially nice for moms who may be feeling isolated due to the lack of a local homeschool community.
I've already registered and I hope to see several of you there!
On another but similar note . . . being an awesome techno genius, I finally figured out how to get to the recorded webinars directly instead of sending you to the home website and then making you search for the right link. Oh, okay, I admit it, I'm not a techno genius and Walter sent the direct links to me.
Anyhoo, here they are:
Homeschool Organization 101: FREE
Caring Connections: Maximizing the Benefits of Homeschool Family Relationships with Danielle Bean: $2.oo
And while you're there, don't forget to sign up for my upcoming webinar:
How to Teach History with Real Books February 4 at 7:30 PM Central.
Should be fun as well as informational and beneficial!
UPDATE: The February Mom's Night Out While In is now full. The good news is that there are more scheduled for March and April. If all goes well, Walter may even make it a twice-a-month event. And there is still room in the teaching with real books events.
UPDATE: All webinars at Homeschool Connections are now FREE!

South High School students' geometry art gallery, "Geometrix," hosted at the Empty Space
February 25, 2018
On. Feb. 17, The Empty Space hosted the reception for the South High School Geometrix art gallery. Geometrix is the use of geometry to create art. The reception was open and free to the public, but attendees could buy stills to support seniors taking the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus exam. For $15, one could buy a star piece or a replica of the Wood Lion, or for $10 one could buy a still.
Marti Hoyt, a math teacher said that this is the first art show, and that the reception was a chance for the public to meet with the artist. She also noted that the public "usually just sees the artwork when there are plays."
When one thinks of the word art one might think of paints and canvases. The art in this exhibit was made with strings and nails, another art piece was made entirely out of pencils and rubber bands, and there was a lion etched on wood.
Gregory Wattonville, another math teacher, commented on how the classrooms are art galleries so they, "moved an art gallery into an art gallery." Wattonville said that they want "to get rid of the stigma around math." He also said that "the art doesn't take away from the education."
A few members of the community were present such as Jennifer Folkert who purchased a pointy star. She plans to put her memento on her patio where the flowers have not bloomed yet.
Kathyrn Merrs, another member of the community, heard of the event through Facebook. She said that, "it's a great idea. It's awesome."
John Kennedy heard about the art gallery through the Californian. He said that he would have bought a geometrix painting of Vincent van Gogh without hesitation, but the stills of that piece were all sold out. Another piece he had his eye on was 'Frozen Heart,' but the stills for that art work were also sold out. He commented on how he would still be able to walk out with one because it is the piece that is on the flyer for the event.
Lisa Krch, public information and communication manager for the Kern High School District, was also present at the exhibit with her two sons. She brought them to show to how to "use something like math to create something beautiful. Brings a new perspective."
The art gallery is the first step for a more ambitious plan. This plan is to be a non-profit organization. Hoyt wants to start off this endeavor at South and eventually branch off to other schools. The plan, Hoyt explains, is to go beyond AP exams and maybe college applications or unexpected fees. She said that, "we can do a lot of good."

After presenting Tôbettô, the Yamakai and Sôfû cultivars from Tsukiji Estate in Tamakawa, here, finally, the Kôshun cultivar. From a mechanical harvesting, it is a little more "reasonable", but still remains a great Sencha.
This is actually the 4th Kôshun proposed this year (that of Mariko is out of stock), but it is also the most subtle and interesting, beyond the only characteristics of this particular cultivar.
The leaves are beautiful; many handpicked teas do not give such a beautiful result. The perfume is a mixture of sweetness and a fresh reminiscent of aromatic herbs and plants. I would say that we have the typical scents of Kôshun without being too strong.
With this cultivar, these thick leaves (gatherer little late in order to have heavy buds), brew should not be too warm : 80-85 ° C.
The fragrance of the infusion is quite faithful to the dry leaves, with great intensity, first dominated by mild and sweet aromas, then letting appear more deepness with its herb notes, a floral touch and a little something fruity, evoking green apple.
On the palate, no aggressiveness. The first attack is actually quite mild with almost imprescriptible astringency, but this impression only last a moment before is revealed with gentleness much strength, moderate umami, and finally vegetable and aromatic flavor, somewhat reminiscent fennel. These are flavors that can be found in the powerful after-taste. Then the after gradually let place appear nice and soft flavors typical of good steamed green teas after-taste.
One evolves on several infusion keeping a lot of strength, but also of mellowness, the aromas lost in complexities, but never falls into an overflow of astringency, never tannic, as can sometimes be seen with Kôshun. The young producer Mr. Kosugi offers us a very balanced sencha, not a simple concentrated of the cultivar characteristics, while it os still clearly recognizable. The strength, length, endurance on several infusions, are again here, and after the Yabukita from Tôbettô, the Yamakai and the Sôfî, it is again a must try Hon.yama sencha.
Next time I'll leave Hon.yama for Kawane Mountains.

President Obama is Unconstitutional
Thank you to the court which has said what I've been saying: This President is Unconstitutional! Recess appointments were provided for when Congress used to meet for 3 months and then THEY WENT HOME! It was not so the President could appoint whoever he wanted over the weekend or what have you. If one Senator wants to sit in the building and declare themselves "in session," that is a check and balance. If we say that the President has the ability to say when the Senate is in recess, what would be to stop him from saying that they are in recess just because they are out to lunch? This was clearly is way AROUND the Constitution, and that's something he's very interested in on a day to day basis.
Long Live the Constitution!

"The offensive missions inside the Strip will be carried out from now on by the IDF's tip of the spear storming divisions, which—according to the plan—will enter Gaza and dissect it in two, and even occupy significant parts of it."
Jun 25, 2018
Israeli defense officials are seeing in recent weeks signs that Hamas is willing to enter another round of fighting with Israel as a possible path to a solution to Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
Hamas believes that a prolonged and intense confrontation will promote the rehabilitation of the Gaza Strip and investment in infrastructure projects, according to these assessments.
For now, it appears that the organization is still concerned with the consequences of full-scale warfare, and therefore seeks to maintain the present tensions on the Gaza border while seeing how far they can test Israel. Still, the Israeli assessment is that Hamas has made a decision to confront Israel, and therefore a broad military operation is only a matter of time.

Here is the latest book (apart from Moonshine by Victoria Clayton) I have on my reading list. I was inspired to rush out and buy it this morning (from a charity shop) after hearing the first part of a new radio adaptation of it on Radio 4 yesterday. I love 'The Woman in White' by the same author so am expecting good things from this one - described as one of the first detective novels. Both the books seem to have the story narrated by several different characters which encourages the reader to put the various parts together to make the whole. Although this can be frustrating, it is also exciting and I can remember being so involved in The Woman in White that I found it hard to tear myself away and come back to the real world. I hope I have a similar experience with this one.
The story centres around a cursed diamond which has been stolen from a statue in India and has been given to a young lady on her 18th birthday. However, she has put it away and overnight, it has been stolen again. Enter Sergeant Cuff, who has the unenviable task of solving the mystery.
My eldest sister hates this book with a vengeance (I'm not quite sure why, unless it is to do with having to read it at school as an exam book) and I am taking this as an added incentive to read it. If it is like the radio dramatisation, it will be great!
The information below is from the Radio 4 iplayer site.
"Doug Lucie's dramatisation of Wilkie Collins' detective masterpiece from 1868, starring Eleanor Bron as Lady Verinder and Kenneth Cranham as Sergeant Cuff, Paul Rhys as Franklin Blake and narrated by Steve Hodson as Betteridge.
Described by T.S. Eliot as the first and best of English Detective novels, The Moonstone, involves a huge diamond stolen from the forehead of an Indian deity, plundered in a siege and finally given to Rachel Verinder on her eighteenth birthday. It is said to carry a curse and mysteriously disappears on the night of the celebrations.
Are the Indian jugglers who were at the house earlier to blame? Why are they hanging around the property with a little boy they appear to be able to hypnotise? When the local police get nowhere, one of the new detective police is called for from London, and quickly finds a clue, but what is it going to tell him? Has the curse of the Moonstone brought with it suspicion and superstition to poison the happy Verinder household on the Yorkshire coast?
Cast: Lady Verinder ..... Eleanor Bron Rachel Verinder ..... Jasmine Hyde Betteridge ..... Steve Hodson Franklin Blake ..... Paul Rhys Sergeant Cuff ..... Kenneth Cranham John Herncastle ..... Stephen Critchlow Rosanna Spearman ..... Alison Pettitt Godfrey Ablewhite ..... Mark Straker Penelope ..... Clare Corbett Mr Murthwaite ..... Paul Battacharjee Khan/Indian.....

Madame Tussauds flew its wax statue of Abraham Lincoln to D.C. on a Delta Shuttle flight on Thursday. Abe rode in the coach section with regular, non-presidential passengers. As for how they got him to sit down, a spokeswoman informs us that he will be depicted in a seated position in the wax museum, which opens in Penn Quarter on Oct. 5th.As long as he's not in an emergency exit row, I'm cool with it.

BRATTLEBORO—Is there a "Brattleboro sound"?
Luke Csehak, leader of The Lentils, thinks so.
The Brattleboro sound earned street cred in the national and international underground music worlds, Csehak says. He describes it as "a small, small niche," and maintains that one still hears it referenced as the Brattleboro sound.
Csehak places The Lentils firmly in the Brattleboro zeitgeist.
In his view, the local scene is marked by "a spirit of true freakdom" that's rare to find. He also worries "that creative local thing" may be coming to an end.
He explains that during his first few years here — up until about a year ago — he saw Brattleboro experience "a micro-Renaissance." Then he adds, "I say that lightly."
He notes that many of his musician friends have since moved away and strikes a mournful note for "a supportive community of serious, eclectic songwriters offering a cohesive sound."
We asked Csehak what separates the Brattleboro sound from that of other places. He says a main difference comes down to nightlife.
"In other cities, they have an active nightlife, and the artist gets distracted by the networking possibilities. Here, you're free from the pressure of succeeding, so you can really concentrate on your craft."
He adds that when musicians have to engage in so much interaction at live events, the music "can be secondary to the social function of shows."
Here, he says, "you sit in your room and you make music often: It's a dedication to not exactly not being successful, but it's a general distrust of success."
Moreover, Csehak describes the aesthetic as "a commitment to strangeness while still being fun. [...] A lot of people use the term 'fake pop' because it's like pop, but there's something that's gone horribly wrong and you can't put your finger on it."
He continues, "While it doesn't go out of its way to be offensive, it's disquieting. It's this juxtaposition of tragedy."
He pauses. "Not comedy," he adds.
Anything else? Perhaps. Overall, he says, Brattleboro's music scene has "a disregard for musicianship. It's secondary to the strength of the song and the performance itself, which shouldn't rely just on musicianship skills. It makes people uncomfortable in a subtle way, and some people really go for that."

Your doctor can help you to quit smoking by yourself. There are prescription medications, such as certain antidepressants, which will help to make quitting much easier.
Ask your friends and loved ones to be supportive about your decision to stop smoking. You have to talk to people and let them know what you're going through, not their judgment. Let them know you might be cranky or irritable because of withdrawals, and that you may not have a clear mind. Quitting smoking can be very difficult, but if you have the support of your friends and family you'll be able to make it through a little easier.
For instance, if you enjoyed smoking in your vehicle or while reading a book, it is important to adjust the way you do such things, try to find alternatives to the cigarette to replace them. Try to find something to take your mind off of distraction that will serve as a substitute.

Even people who have the best intentions and the future. You may experience a future attempt.
Create a mantra centered around your most important reasons you have to stop smoking. Repeat them to yourself, or when your motivation is lost. This represents a terrific method of diverting your focus on your motivation to quit when cravings are strong.
While stopping smoking is not easy, it is definitely worth the huge benefits to your health, social life and even your appearance. Once you put the tips offered in this article into action, you will hopefully feel motivated to kick the habit for good! Try one of these selected tips today.

If you are having problems with your car's transmission, it does not necessarily mean you will be faced with a huge repair bill when you take your car in for service. There are several common transmission problems that can be repaired easily and affordably here in Seattle, Washington, by one of the trained transmission experts at Burien transmission repair.
While you might expect your car to need a complete transmission overhaul when it shakes, overheats and loses engine power, it could just mean that you need some repairs to your clutch. This is a simple fix.
Odd and inappropriate sounds that come from your transmission, especially when the car is still in neutral, might simply mean that there is some wear on the needle bearings in the torque converter. A repair of this type is common, and it should not require a lot of work.
If your transmission has gears that occasionally slip or have difficulty becoming engaged in between shifts, you may just have a leak in the transmission seals that caused your transmission fluid level to become low.
If you are experiencing even the smallest transmission problem, it is best to have your car serviced right away. Small transmission problems quickly grow. For expert transmission troubleshooting and repair, call Burien transmission repair immediately.

Avoidance and mixed signals have long plagued the palliative care discussion in cardiology, but that could be changing, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 67th annual meeting in Orlando, Florida.
Mary Hicks, DNP, said at the conference that palliative care—a specialized medical practice focused on providing relief and comfort for patients suffering from severe, chronic conditions—is commonly misunderstood by cardiologists. The physicians tend to be, as a whole, less comfortable talking about end-of-life than their counterparts in oncology, Hicks said, but that doesn't change the fact that heart failure is still one of palliative care's most frequently treated illnesses.
She said palliative care is often misunderstood by clinicians, including cardiologists, because it's often perceived as a late-stage, last-minute treatment plan.
"I hear it all the time," she said. "'It's only for the dying patient.'"
She likes to think of palliative care as a practice that can be incorporated "earlier into the living process," she said, rather than later in the dying process.
Hicks works as part of a palliative care team at a Detroit hospital, where she guides patients with chronic diseases like cancer, stroke, Parkinson's and renal disease through end-of-life discussions. She called the services "an extra layer of support" for both patients and their families, regardless of age or stage of an illness.
"We're learning that palliative care is a mechanism to improve patient outcomes," she said. "It helps with symptoms, helps with quality of life."
A paucity of robust data on palliative care in cardiology, married with the fact that so many cardiologists misconstrue the practice as hospice care or treatment only for dying patients, has created a barrier to providing the best possible patient experience, Hicks said. Quality of life data has found that while cancer patients continue to function well until the months before death, congestive heart failure patients see increased stress and risk as their disease progresses.
As difficult as the conversation might be, Hicks said speaking with patients frankly about their end-of-life wishes is one of the most important things a palliative care team can do. Preparedness planning—asking patients what they'd prefer in the case of stroke, vasopressor dependence, organ damage or device malfunction, for example—can provide clarity for that patient's family and lawyer if the patient ends up unresponsive and unable to make those decisions themselves. This is especially important in the context of heart failure, she said, since it's such an unpredictable disease.
Even planning ahead for less severe complications like artificial nutrition and hydration, blood transfusion, long-term antibiotic use and nursing home placements can make a big difference, Hicks said. Coming up with a comprehensive patient plan can dramatically enhance quality of life from diagnosis to death.
On the caregiver's part, this can be difficult, Savitri Fedson, MA, MD, said at the meeting. Cardiologists are often invested in their cases and feel the need to do everything they possibly can to save a patient, even if the better, less painful option was death. What's so difficult is balancing control of both cardiac and non-cardiac symptoms—almost half of heart failure patients have five or more comorbidities—aligning palliative care with a patient's goals and preferences and determining who, if a patient is eventually unable, will take on decision-making responsibilities.
"People may die sooner," Fedson said. "But they also feel better."
The greatest mistakes a cardiologist can make in the case of palliative care are sending mixed signals, assuming you know what the patient wants, not including a patient in the treatment discussion, trying to "do everything" to save them and simply avoiding the end-of-life conversation.
"Our goal is the help the patient and their family, but our goal is to really help the cardiologist, who's guiding the treatment plan," Hicks said.

How India's Narendra Modi Moves Markets
Scroll over the saffron-colored line to see how markets reacted to some major announcements from Narendra Modi's government in his first five months in office.
On the whole, markets in India love Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but betting on the stock exchange solely guided by his announcements and reforms isn't necessarily a winning strategy for investors.
Mr. Modi has been in power for five months, during that time not every major announcement by his government has impacted stocks, and some even led to a decline in the value of the Sensex.
This is partly because markets often move on expectations rather than an event. For instance, in hope that Mr. Modi would become prime minister, the benchmark stock index S&P BSE Sensex rose 571.61 points or 2.4% to 24,693.35 in the week before he took office on May 26. But the index lost 476 points or 1.9% to 24217.34, in the week following his appointment.
Also, markets respond to many masters, including factors like economic data, global geopolitics, the movement of the U.S. dollar and so on.
Use our interactive chart to track how the Sensex reacted to major announcements made by Mr. Modi and his government since his appointment in May.

One of Mr. Modi's first steps as prime minister was to create a special investigation team to track India's "black money", which is basically wealth on which taxes have not been paid.
According to one estimate, black money could total $500 billion in India, and if brought into the country's official financial system, it could be a boon for the economy.
But markets were not swayed by this. The Sensex rose just 6.58 points, or .027%, a day after the announcement, to 24556.09.
July 10-11: Budget.
This was the new government's first financial statement, laying out its intentions for spending and raising funds for the rest of the financial year. Stocks had moved up ahead of the budget in anticipation of far-reaching reforms, but the budget itself didn't get investors excited.
The Sensex fell 420.26 points, or 1.65% on the day of the budget and the following day, to 25024.35.
Aug 6-7: More FDI in Defense, Railways
The Modi government approved an earlier proposal to increase foreign direct investment caps in India's defense and railways sectors.
While investors typically clamor for greater foreign investment, given the expected nature of this announcement, the market's shrugged the announcement. The Sensex fell 319 points or 1.23% on the day of and following the announcement, to close at 25,589.01 on Aug 7.
Aug 18-19: Independence Day
Mr. Modi gave a rousing speech on India's independence day on August 15, which included announcements about streamlining Indian bureaucracy, and boosting manufacturing in the country.
This fired up investors, and sent the Sensex to a new record high. The index rose 317.44 points, or 1.22%, in the two sessions after Independence Day holiday weekend.
Aug. 28: Bank Accounts for All
Mr. Modi launched an ambitious program to provide bank accounts to millions of people without access to the formal banking sector. Stocks rose 229.44 points or 0.86%, on the first trading session after the announcement, but that was mainly on data that India was growing strong.
Aug. 30 – Sept. 3 Modi Visits Japan
Japan committed to invest around $35 billion in India over five years during Mr. Modi's visit to that country. The Sensex rose at this time, but investors were reacting mainly to strong economic growth data, which showed that India grew at the fastest pace in two years in the quarter ended June.
Sept 17: Chinese President Visits India
During a three-day visit to India, Chinese President Xi Jinping committed to invest around $20 billion over five years. Stocks rose, partly on enthusiasm of Chinese investments but also because the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated that it wasn't planning to raise interest rates any time soon.
Sept. 25-29: Make in India/U.S. Visit
In late September, the Indian prime minister met major Indian business people and wrote an oped in The Wall Street Journal, asking businesses to manufacture in India.
The Sensex jumped the day after this announcement, gaining nearly 158 points or 0.6%, but analysts attributed the gain largely to a change in outlook by Standard & Poor's. The credit rating firm said on Sept. 26, that it was upgrading India's long-term ratings outlook from negative to stable, which means it was less likely to be downgraded.
That weekend, Mr. Modi also addressed the Indian-American community in New York, but stock markets shrugged off that event as he didn't say much that was new.
When markets reopened the following Monday, the Sensex lost 29.21 points of 0.11% to close at 26597.11.
Oct. 16: Labor reform
Earlier this month, Mr. Modi announced steps toward reforming India's labor laws, something that businessmen say have made it difficult to do operate in India. "These steps may seem small, but they will amount to big changes," Mr. Modi had said in a speech.
This is good news in general for India, but stocks fell because of a weakness in other major global markets.
The Sensex lost nearly 350 points, or 1.3%, on Oct 16, to close at 25,999.34.
Oct. 19-23: Diesel Freed, BJP Lead in State Elections
Earlier this month, the government lifted state control on the price of diesel, a step that is expected to free up billions of dollars that could be spent by India on other programs.
Also, Mr. Modi's party, the Bharatiya Janata Party won the majority of seats in two state elections, including Maharashtra, India's financial hub.
Stock investors cheered this move. The Sensex rose 321.32 or 1.23%, when markets reopened after these announcements that were made on the weekend. In the four trading sessions up to market close for Diwali holidays, the Sensex gained 742.52 points, or 2.8% to 26,851.05.

The defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots will enter this season with the challenge of replacing tight end Rob Gronkowski, a four-time first-team All-Pro who retired after nine seasons.
Gronkowski was part of the Pats' Super Bowl-winning teams in 2014, 2016 and 2018 and looks like a surefire Pro Football Hall of Famer someday. His impact can't be understated.
However, head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady have been part of 10 AFC champions, with six Super Bowl wins. It's unwise to doubt the Pats even with one of their best players no longer in the mix.
The Pats enter the season as Super Bowl favorites at 6-1 odds, per Vegas Insider, so the sportsbooks have some faith.
The schedule won't be easy, though, with some tough games on the ledger.
Patriots Schedule 2019
Week 1 (Sunday, Sept. 8): vs Pittsburgh Steelers, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)
Week 2 (Sunday, Sept. 15): vs Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 3 (Sunday, Sept. 22): vs NY Jets, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 4 (Sunday, Sept. 29): vs Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 5 (Sunday, Oct. 6): vs Washington Redskins, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 6 (Thursday, Oct. 10): vs NY Giants, 8:20 p.m. ET (Fox, NFL Network and Amazon)
Week 7 (Monday, Oct. 21): vs New York Jets, 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Week 8 (Sunday, Oct. 27): vs Cleveland Browns, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 9 (Sunday, Nov. 3): vs Baltimore Ravens, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)
Week 10: BYE
Week 11 (Sunday, Nov. 17): vs Philadelphia Eagles, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 12 (Sunday, Nov. 24): vs Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. ET (Fox)
Week 13 (Sunday, Dec. 1): vs Houston Texans, 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC)
Week 14 (Sunday, Dec. 8): vs KC Chiefs, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 15 (Sunday, Dec. 15): vs Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Week 16 (Saturday, Dec. 21 or Sunday, Dec. 22): vs Buffalo Bills, time TBD (TV TBD)
Week 17 (Sunday, Dec. 29): vs Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)
Here's the good news: The Pats once again play six games against the AFC East, a division in which they have amassed a 76-20 record since 2003. The East doesn't look formidable this year, with Vegas Insider listing the New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in the bottom 11 of the Super Bowl odds ledger.
Here's the bad news: The rest of the schedule is brutal, most notably between Weeks 8 and 14.
A rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs, who finished 12-4 and went blow-for-blow in two games versus the Pats last season, awaits in Week 14.
Seven days earlier, New England will travel to Houston and face the tough Texans, who won the AFC South with an 11-5 mark. A Super Bowl LII rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles and a contest with the potentially explosive Cleveland Browns offense also loom. Games against the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys, who both won their divisions last year, round out the stretch.
Still, the Pats have won 10 or more games every year since 2003 for two main reasons, and they're both still with the team. Expect another good season until we see otherwise.
Patriots vs Chiefs
If the two Patriots-Chiefs matchups last season are any indication, then we're going to see plenty of points and a game that goes down to the wire.
The Pats held serve against the Chiefs at home, 43-40, in the regular season before taking down Kansas City, 37-31, in overtime in the AFC Championship Game.
Both games were among the most entertaining fans saw all season, and there's little reason to believe that trend will change this year. Furthermore, this game could have massive implications for playoff seeding, and the December date only amplifies the drama as the playoffs draw near.
Patriots vs Cowboys
The dynasty of the 1990s faces off against the dynasty of the 2000s and 2010s in what could potentially be a Super Bowl preview.
The promising Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East with a 10-6 record and reached the NFC Divisional Round.
Linebackers Leighton Vander Esch and Jaylon Smith broke through last season, and Cowboys wideout Amari Cooper proved to be a perfect fit for the Dallas offense as its No. 1 receiver. They're all back this season and could give the Pats a stiff test.
Patriots vs Browns
You can cue a litany of "passing the torch" storylines prior to this game.
The Cleveland Browns are a candidate to take over as the next dynasty whenever the Patriots' current one is finished.
Second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield looks to improve upon an exciting rookie season in which he led Cleveland to a 7-7 record under his command after the team won just one game in the previous two years combined.
Now the Browns have superstar wideout Odell Beckham Jr., who the New York Giants traded this offseason. The five-year veteran has amassed 1,000 or more receiving yards in four seasons.
This could be one of the more exciting late-afternoon games on the 2019 NFL slate.

Chairs and Coffee
512 Fulham Road SW6 5NJ
Editor's Review
Chairs and Coffee have been serving Fulham Broadway coffee since 2013. Owners Simone Guerini Rocco and Roberto d'Alessandro met in London in 2006, working together in a restaurant. Roberto grew up in a coffee shop in Verona and Simone has worked in coffee roasting, training and engineering. In 2008, Roberto temporarily returned to Verona and Simone moved to Central America, where he worked in a coffee exporting company and judged barista competitions in Guatemala and El Salvador. He also secured 2nd place at the Italian coffee cupping competition in 2012. The two friends met again in London and at the beginning of 2013 they opened Chairs and Coffee. There is a delightful 'silly' element to their decor which pops any potential bubble of pretentiousness – not that there is much chance of that.
Roasting their own coffee was an ambition, even before opening the coffee shop. In 2014, they bought a 5kg F.I.M.T, (Fabbrica Italiana Macchine Tostatrici) coffee roaster produced in Turin in around 1960. (FIMT was bought by Scolari more than 30 years ago). Refurbishing the machine themselves, they roasted their own coffee from 2015 under the branding of 80 Stone Coffee "…because we kind of figured out that the roaster weighs about 80 stone, plus we were born in the 80s!')
It's well worth the trip to Fulham to see Simone fire up the roaster with a blowtorch and taste the espresso and filter coffee but their 1963 Faema E61 espresso machine is a piece of art and history. The E61 was revolutionary when introduced and very much the template for the modern espresso machine. The machine itself had been sitting for more than 30 years in a priest's basement of the priest of Simone's village. When the priest passed away in 2012, the coffee machine was discovered, and given to Simone's parents. It was restored to its former glory by Simone.
Apart from coffee, a brunch menu changes frequently and there are stenaldebrørd (multi-seed bread baked in-house) open sandwiches with topping such as salmon, horseradish and sourcream and lumpfish caviar.
Cakes are also baked in-house and their most popular item is their banana bread Canadian style (with crispy pancetta, maple syrup, fresh bananas and yoghurt). Bread is from locals The Artisan Bakery and teas from Solaris Botanical.
Rightly, Chairs and Coffee is hugely popular and locals and regulars have had a major input such as Matt from Phatmonk who designed their websites and Virginia Fonderico who designed their logos. It's a very friendly place and one that you ought to visit.

The US Department of Homeland Security has officially announced the end of the laptop ban.
The past few weeks have seen a number of the ten Muslim-majority countries originally affected by the ban progressively become exempt from the restrictions, among them Abu Dhabi at the beginning of July, followed by Doha, Kuwait, Amman, and Cairo.
Originally launched in March earlier this year, the ban saw all passengers flying to the US from ten airports in the Middle East have to stow all electronic devices larger than a smartphone in their checked luggage, including laptops. The ban has since come under significant scrutiny, notably from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE).
In a statement following the lifting of the ban, ACTE executive director, Greeley Koch, said:
"We are heartened to hear that the Trump administration has finally ended its laptop ban. This is one less burdensome regulation business travellers – and tourists – must grapple with as they plan their future travel.
"The policy was insufficient as a standalone measure to address very real ongoing security threats, and did not take into account the need for travellers to maintain connectivity and productivity, especially for long intercontinental flights where being off the grid can lead to business interruption.
"We're happy to see the administration demonstrate flexibility and recognition of the important strides the global airline industry has made towards safer travel. That being said, there remain other travel policies that continue to leave questions unanswered; namely, the immigration ban introduced earlier this year.
"We'd hope that the Trump administration would seriously reconsider such policies, as well, and focus their resources and efforts on developing enhanced screening techniques and technologies that better serve travellers and provide the comprehensive security we need."

Love them or hate them, you've got to admit that Nintendo have a pretty good sense of humour.
The company has just released a brand new video highlighting exactly what is in the works for E3 – something people are constantly speculating about.
For E3 2015, the publisher revealed that it will be holding its first Nintendo World Championships event in 25 years.
The news was revealed in a pretty funny video in which Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé (jokingly) quits his job to begin training for the Nintendo-game competition. His regimen includes GameCube lifts and strenuous Power Pad calisthenics.
It will be followed by an extended Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3 stream, which will feature game reveals and guest appearances by developers.

Introduction: How to Make the Grasshopper Paper Airplane
Small, stealthy and simple, the Grasshopper is an easy to make flying wing paper airplane which can be made out of a single sheet of paper with no tools or tape required. The Grasshopper is meant as a simpler complement and trainer to advanced types like the Turbo Omniwing and Turbo AeroDelta.
As I had developed the Spartan and Dracula which did not need anything besides a single piece of paper to construct, I decided to make an extremely simple flying wing which could also fulfill that requirement. Several configurations were tried before I settled on one reminiscent of the Skyhawk. In flight testing, the new type proved quick and fairly docile for a flying wing. As a result of these positive attributes, it was approved for publication.

Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials
1 Piece of 8.5 by 11 inch Paper
Scissors (additional surfaces only)
Ruler (additional surfaces only)
Step 2: Length, Width and Corner Folding
Fold the paper in half along its length, then along its width. While it is folded in half along its width, fold the corners inward as shown. After doing this, open the paper to unfold it as pictured.
Step 3: Corner and Nose Folding
With the paper folded along the length fold crease, fold the corners down on each side as shown. After this, lay the paper out flat and pull the nose back to the X fold. Pull the paper back over itself as shown. When this is done, the paper should look as it does in the last photograph.
Step 4: Security, Airfoil and Winglet Folding
Pull the trailing diagonal edges of the overlaying folds from each side into the center. After this is done, pull the triangle tip of the forward nose backwards to the limits imposed by this step's first folds. Tuck the forward edges of the first folds into the triangle section as pictured. Once this is done, pull the sections of the airfoil folds not secured forward as shown and crease. After making the crease, reverse the fold and tuck them underneath the airfoils.
Pull the edges of the paper into the center crease and crease on each side. Pull the edges back outward to the creases that have just been created by the previous fold. Pull the paper so that these various folds are perpendicular to one another to complete your Grasshopper.
Step 5: Flight
The Grasshopper is a basic paper airplane which is meant to help new origami aviators looking to transition from less finicky types to flying wing paper airplanes, which tend to be more temperamental than conventional paper airplanes. By design the aircraft is designed to handle running into surfaces edge on; generally only minor trim changes are required (if any are at all).
Launches should be conducted at negative or neutral attitude at low to moderate speeds. The plane should be held with two fingers above and one finger below the middle surface and advanced forward in the air, then released. Tape maybe added to the airfoil folds to improve performance at higher speeds. Additional applicable surfaces include elevators, rudders and ailerons. Enjoy!
