Cerebral Palsy
I'm realizing normal isn't possible. Peace, yes. I've dreaded dependency, giving it to negativity, but that may not be so. It takes strength, Grace and courage to admit you need help even when it bruises your ego. I have an ego, and Cerebral Palsy breaks it.

1. Learn to Say NO. Give yourself permission to decline invitations or added responsibilities that you don't want. Remember this is your holiday!
2. Change Things Up. Families change over time, and traditions can be updated to reflect the current needs and desires of family members.
3. Join Festivities in Moderation. Decide how long you want to stay at a particular event ahead of time. Leaving early is ok.
4. Keep Up Routines. Keeping your regular routine as much as possible can help to lessen the over-loaded activity schedule that the holidays often bring.
5. Carve out Friend-Time. Have some holiday activities with the people you really want to be with.
6. Be Good to Yourself. Pamper yourself a little and make a point of getting enough rest, avoiding overeating and over-drinking.
7. Be Social. Connect in person or over the phone with loved ones. Take a vacation from electronics and social media.
8. Center Yourself. Start the day with a brief inward focus or give time to yourself (through prayer, meditation, stretching or yoga, reading).
9. Don't Over Analyze. Everyone reacts differently to the holidays, and for some, the holidays can be difficult. Manage your expectations and allow yourself to feel whatever emotions come up. Avoid comparing yourself to others.
10. Pause and Check In. Reflect on what worked for you this year and think about modifications you would like to make or suggest to others.

Our bodies are meant to function in a particular manner only if it is up to that level. Hence we need to take care of it in a way that promote better health along the way. This is why there is so much focus on good nutrition, health practices and fitness routines.A great ways to get your healthy body back, if you have deteriorated from it, is to go for what sunshine coast gyms offer as services. The gym is a great place to work out and also find motivation while on it. This makes you go for it more than the amount you would do alone or at home. But if you cannot manage going to the gym, you might as well do it to your comfort at home. It is better than just lying around like a lazy head.You need to focus on keeping your weight on check and not to go overboard. If you are doing exercises you may lose some weight if you control your diet too. But it should not be at a level which forced you to starve or really lose yourself on the process. A practical approach is much better.
We see a lot of wrestlers and boxes maintaining a hefty body. They do go through a lot of trained, boxing fitness classes gold coast, medications and the like. You may be just an ordinary person trying to live a good and healthy life. So what you need to focus on is just the basics. That would be enough to take you to the correct destination. Your intention should be to be consistent as much as possible and reach your intended goal too. These are just some of the things you can do for the betterment of yourself. Good habits is always well practiced around and that is what you need to teach the future generation too. Many of the wellness training institutes of today try to promote this as part of their services. We should look in to these as options if we feel we are not doing it by ourselves or are not motivated enough.
Food habits should also be monitored and controlled in an appropriate manner. You need not starve a well as over indulge in anything. Balance is key to a healthy lifestyle, so start on it from today if you have not already. This will ensure that you live a quality life and maybe for a long time too. That should be enough to motivate you towards doing it right now.

If ACA Is Repealed, 78% of Employer Health Plans Would Keep Some ACA-Mandated Provisions
Brookfield, Wisconsin—Health care and the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have been defining issues for presidential candidates this election season. A new report from the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans finds that if ACA is repealed, 78% of employers would keep in place at least some of the provisions they have already implemented in their health plans.
Employers also report a wide-range of provisions they would like to see reinstated in new legislation if ACA is repealed, with the top being elimination of preexisting condition exclusions (38%), coverage of adult children to age 26 (31%) and increased wellness incentives (31%). A majority of employers predict a new health care reform bill being passed within the next four years if ACA is repealed.
"Employers have seen certain ACA provisions have a positive impact on their workforce," explained Julie Stich, CEBS, research director at the International Foundation. "Mandates such as the elimination of preexisting condition exclusions and coverage of children until age 26 have allowed employees and their families to receive health care services that have made a positive impact on their physical, financial and emotional well-being."
The report, 2016 Employer-Sponsored Health Care: ACA's Impact, found that employers have made a number of changes to curb rising costs due to ACA, including increasing out-of-pocket limits (37%), in-network deductibles (34%) or employees' share of premium costs (31%). Employers have also increased copayments or coinsurance for primary care (28%), increased employees' share of prescription drug costs (25%) and increased the employee's share of dependent coverage cost (24%). One in ten employers has adopted a full-replacement high-deductible health plan (HDHP) because of ACA.
Looking ahead, 28% of employers are currently working on changes to avoid the Cadillac tax and an additional 38% plan to do so before the tax takes effect in 2020. Just 2% of employers report they plan to pay the tax. The most common actions taken or planned include moving to an HDHP (43%), shifting costs to employees (42%), dropping higher cost plans (31%) or reducing benefits (30%). Of respondents taking these actions, 68% report they are somewhat or very unlikely to undo these plan changes if the Cadillac tax is repealed.
"Whether or not the Cadillac tax goes into effect, it will have left an impact on the health care landscape," said Stich. "Employers are taking cost-shifting measures to avoid the tax and these efforts are shaping how Americans use and receive health care coverage."
Employers report their biggest ACA challenge and second biggest cost-driver for 2016 is reporting and disclosure. General ACA administrative costs are noted as the biggest cost-driver for 2016 and respondents expect that to continue in the future.
The report finds that employers remain committed to offering employer-sponsored health care coverage. Looking forward five years, only 3% of employers say it is unlikely they will be offering health care. Employers report they continue offering coverage to attract and retain employees and to increase employee satisfaction.
2016 Employer-Sponsored Health Care: ACA's Impact is the seventh survey in a series on how corporate health benefit plans are being affected by the Affordable Care Act. Survey responses were received from 446 human resources and benefits professionals. The surveyed organizations represent a wide base of U.S. employers from nearly 20 different industries and range in size from fewer than 50 to more than 10,000 employees.

I Am....Back!
:) Yes I am back at home. It was a tough program and it took a lot from my side to prepare and deliver it. I yet have to hear the official outcome of how I performed for which I am crossing my fingers but the verbal response was good. So I have a positive hope. Rest lets see what happens and comes in front.
This was among the toughest and hardest programs and as I didn't get much time, it became really hard for me to prepare. Though I did prepare from books and spent so much time on searching and reading things from Google.But there are two people who really helped me so much on some of the toughest topics. Without their help and guidance, I don't know how would I had covered those topics? These people are Tim Hall and Howard Rodger. I must say that its not important to know everything but what's important is to make others understand and help them. And these 2 persons ( and all the other great persons whose names I am not mentioning here) are doing so much great in it! Saying thanks is not enough but that's all I can say. Thanks so much Tim sir and Howard sir!

When LeBron James was roaming the hallways of Akron Public Schools as a child, bouncing from school to school, he never anticipated he'd one day open a public elementary school of his own.
But he did know he wanted to change the lives of kids just like him for generations to come.
"I think what led to this moment was the upbringing I had as a kid, period. Just being an underprivileged kid and seeing some things I wish I had, some things I didn't have ... I think that put me in position where I said to myself, 'If I'm ever able to be successful in any way or have any type of financial stability, then I'm going to give back,'" James said in an exclusive interview with the Beacon Journal/Ohio.com Monday afternoon at his new I Promise School.
The school, spearheaded by James and his foundation, opened Monday to 240 academically underperforming third- and fourth-graders.
And hard as administrators tried, the students had anything but a normal first day of school.
The day was just as much the first day for the kids as it was for James, who hadn't seen the school until the doors opened to the students.
"It's still so surreal. I've really got the jitters right now," said James, wearing dark-framed glasses and a gray suit, hours after doors opened.
For James, the opening of an elementary school is deeply personal. He remembers being the same age as the students in the I Promise School, changing schools so often that in fourth grade, he was absent more than 80 days.
What kept him on the right track, he said, was the care from the adults around him — including those he met when he started playing sports.
"This age, I believe, is a turning point for either going one way or the other. I didn't know what was next for me, but the guidance I got after that moment from family and Little League coaches is the reason why I'm here today," James said. "When I was their age, I just needed some guidance. I needed someone to care."
James is striving to implement the same care into the I Promise School.
Since he announced the school in April of last year, James said, he's been involved "throughout the whole journey."
He also addressed his reasons for leaving the Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers Monday, prior to the start of the ceremony opening the school.
James, who opened his I Promise School in partnership with the Akron Public Schools, said some of the allure boiled down to history.
"You know, growing up I was a Cowboys fan, a Bulls fan and a Yankees fan," James said in the three-plus-minute message to his fans. "I always felt that was one of the historic franchises. You look at the Lakers, being able to play for a historic franchise."
When James returned to the Cavs, he stated in his much-lauded letter that ran in Sports Illustrated that he wanted to retire in his home region. Monday, prior to the start of the school-opening ceremony, James said he didn't know when that changed for him.
"Everyone grows ... I just think it's the next step in my journey," he told the Beacon Journal. "This is where I am today, me and my family, and we all look forward to it."
The curriculum and school building at 400 W. Market St. came together at the hands of Akron Public Schools, the LeBron James Family Foundation and dozens of other community partners, but the school's overall concept and look are both directly inspired by James.
By the afternoon, music blared from speakers outside the school's windows. Professional athletes roamed the halls. A parade of people lined up outside and a horde of media surrounded the school. More than a dozen armed security guards and police officers covered the building grounds.
But when the doors opened at 8:45 a.m. that morning and students stepped into the building curated just for them, they had clues to expect something different — starting with the grey polo shirts they were given to wear instead of what they arrived dressed in as a first step to starting anew.
"It was magical," said Angela Whorton, an intervention specialist, about the first day. "Just to see how genuinely excited they were to start a new chapter of their life with a clean slate was beyond great."
The school includes a family resource center, where families of I Promise students can go for food, to earn their GEDs and to access a plethora of other county resources.
The curriculum aims to adopt the "We Are Family" philosophy of the LeBron James Family Foundation, infuse it with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and take into account the struggles and traumas in students' lives to provide "social-emotional learning." It implements a year-round education for kids to retain what they learn.
LeBron James, who made his first public appearance Monday since deciding to join the Los Angeles Lakers, spearheaded the effort more than a year ago as a way to consolidate his existing I Promise Network into one building to create a lasting impact on the community.
"I think one of my long-term goals is that every kid who walks through those doors, they feel empowered, they know they have a support system, they know there's someone that cares about them," James said in the Beacon Journal/Ohio.com interview. "I think that's what it ultimately comes down to is that someone cares about their future. We want the next great police officer, the next great politician, the next great doctor, the next great nurse, the next great musician ... Whatever the case may be, we hope it comes out of this school."
Dog and pony show
As kids continued their first day back at school, a mass of more than 2,000 people gathered outside to watch the festivities hosted by the LeBron James Family Foundation for its partners, students and their families.
Akron's Dave Lieberth emceed the event as James watched on a TV from inside the school with his 4-year-old daughter, Zhuri; his wife, Savannah; and his mother, Gloria.
Outside, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan and Akron Public Schools Superintendent David James addressed the crowd.
"LeBron, I don't think we can possibly thank you enough for what you do. Even the English department has run out of words for your efforts," David James said.
Then, the Singing Angels choir sang a song before a mass of people representing community partners paraded in front of the stage.
Afterward, Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Tori Kelly made a surprise appearance and performed the song "Hallelujah."
But nothing got a reaction from the crowd like LeBron James, who stepped out during Kelly's song in a grey suit with a trail of students in their grey polo-style shirts following behind.
Kids gazed wide-eyed at the scene as they lined up on bleachers and on the ground on either side of the stage as LeBron James addressed the crowd.
"As a kid from Akron, Ohio myself, I remember walking these streets ... I know exactly what these 240 kids are going through," LeBron James said. "I know the streets they walk, I know the trials and tribulations they go through, I know the ups and downs, I know everything that they dream about, I know all the nightmares that they have, because I've been there. I know exactly why they want this."
"I want people to know that these kids still have the same opportunities as everyone else, and that's what's important," LeBron James continued. "Us as adults have a responsibility to not let these kids down ... because those kids are our future."
Then, LeBron James watched as his mother raised the I Promise flag, and dozens of kids turned to watch him.
As parents picked up their kids after the festivities, many of the students recalled the most memorable moments of their day — which, for many, was getting to meet LeBron James himself, who walked the halls and met students.
Miracle Midder, a fourth-grader, said she was shocked to meet the basketball star and even shook his hand.
Miracle, 9, said the I Promise School is "way different" than Betty Jane elementary, where she used to attend.
"It wasn't this big, and I didn't get to see LeBron," Miracle said.
As the excitement over the basketball star wanes with his retreat back to California, time will tell whether students retain their excitement for the school.
But anticipation from parents over the school's potential is likely to last as kids embark on their first year at the brand new school.
"I can't wait to see all the things that are going to happen. I'm so proud of you," said Kiuera Booker, Miracle's mom, as she hugged her daughter tight.
"Hey," Miracle said, "You're wiping LeBron off!"

The British army allowed its soldiers to shoot unarmed civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to an exclusive report by the Middle East Eye.
Ian Cobain who authored the report interviewed former British soldiers, who said they were given direct orders to shoot at civilians who were under surveillance.
This policy was justified under the premise that unarmed civilians were suspected of placing improvised explosive devices (IED's) or acting as spotters for the insurgents.
However, soldiers still shot at innocent civilians without confirming if they posed an actual threat or were living their normal lives, more so because majority of the shootings were carried during night-time patrols.
The report stated that a soldier in southern Iraq claimed he and fellow British troops were permitted to shoot anyone who "acted suspiciously".
This easing of the rules of engagement resulted in "a killing spree", according to one former soldier, who mentioned that he and other soldiers were reassured they would be protected if there were any investigations by the military police.
The former soldier to the MEE: "Our commanders, they would tell us: 'We will protect you if any investigation comes. Just say you genuinely thought your life was at risk – those words will protect you'."
Another ex-soldier, who served in Basra in 2007, mentioned that he "had never seen such lawlessness".
He said: "We were shooting old men, young men.
"Anyone you deem is a terrorist, you shoot them.
"But how could we know if they were a threat? Not all of them were dickers, some were just holding phones."
In one incident, the ex-soldiers who were interviewed said they witnessed Soviet weapons being planted beside the bodies of two unarmed teenage boys who were killed by British troops in Afghanistan to make it seem like they were Taliban fighters.
Another former mentioned that he saw similar Soviet-era guns, known as "drop weapons", being stored at other British bases.
He said: "I'm fairly sure that they were being kept for that purpose."
Military legal experts said in the report that shooting "dickers" (English military slang for 'spotters') is not deemed illegal, as long as they are not physically engaged in hostilities. Civilians are still expected to be afforded the benefit of the doubt.
MEE were unable to independently verify the accounts of the former soldiers Cobain interviewed.
The Ministry of Defence declined to comment.
As you're here…
5Pillars have one humble request from you…
Thousands of Muslims around the world visit our website for news every day. Due to the unfortunate reality of covering Muslim-related news in a heightened Islamophobic environment, our advertising and fundraising revenues have decreased significantly.
5Pillars is editorially and financially independent, with no sectarian or political allegiance to any particular group or movement. Our journalism has been exclusively grassroots focussed and our sole purpose is to defend Islam and Muslims in the media.
This makes us unique in comparison to other online Muslim media outlets who are neither independently regulated by a reputable body nor are they managed by qualified journalists.
Our journalism takes time, money and effort to deliver. But we do it because we believe we have a duty to Allah (swt).
You may not agree or like everything we publish. However, which other Muslim news site that is run by experienced journalists will take on the responsibility of being a shield for Islam and Muslims in the media?
If you follow 5Pillars, and you understand its importance in today's climate, then please support us for as little as £5 a month, it only takes a minute to make a donation. Jazakallah khayran.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"The best deeds are those done regularly, even if they are small." [Ibn Mājah]

Getting started...I had to discard a lot and just keep my very favorite images.
The recipes have been set aside for a "cookbook binder."
These were strategically placed to blend with the colors that were in the pictures.
Final outcome, it hasn't been hung yet so this isn't the best picture but it gives
you an idea of what I'm going for. My plan is to continue to add and take away as I see fit.
Hopefully this will keep my studio apartment a very creative one!

Here is the message from Principal Stebbins and Assistant Principal Therrien that was sent out this morning:
We are writing to let the parents of students who ride Bus Route #2, Sonia's Route, know that the bus was involved in a minor traffic accident on the morning of May 28th. All students are safe and fine and the impact was minimal, but we wanted to make sure parents know the details.
As the bus was waiting to turn onto Main Street a small vehicle did not stop and hit the back end of the bus. Both vehicles drove away from the scene. As this was a traffic accident, Corporal McMahon, from the St. Albans Police Department arrived on the scene and an accident report was filed. If parents have any specific questions about the accident they are welcome to call the PD at 524-2166.
All the students did an excellent job waiting and arrived at school about 8:35am.

Vampire Circus
(Southern Lord)
Nary is there a more manly art than sludge metal. Totimoshi recently proved that them with teats are equally adept at flying the mud-crusted flag, so its no boy's club in its nature, but there is something purely knucklehead masculine about it. Its like that annual game of mud football you get in, or when provoked at a work party gone akimbo, you wrestle a co-worker whose shit you have to endure day in and out. It just feels good. It's not a workout, it's not even a release; it's just opening that cellar door and letting the inner caveman off the leash for a bit.
One recent release that makes me want to get my Incredible Hulk on (really, when you get into that tired "what superpower would you want?" meme, Hulk powers are the logical choice, no?) is Vampire Circus from Maryland Sasquatch-metal combo Earthride. The fat giant riffs sound like they came from a volcano, and singer/bassist Dave Sherman has a sack-of-meat wrecking ball voice that sounds like it suffered under hours of practice for a belch-the-alphabet tournament against Lemmy from Motorhead. In other words, it's absolutely brilliant.
Like many sludge classics, the songs kinda all tread the same muddied waters but the ones that stick out are "Understand" with a guitar solo that can only be doused by holy bongwater (when are we as a musical community going to get over our aversion to the guitar solo? We don't need to go on for 10 minutes or anything, but c'mon. Everyone loves a perfect quick guitar solo.) and the organ-ground end times blues of "Dirtnap." And really, my favorite on any sludge record is the extended "Maggot Brain" moment (and in case you didn't know, Funkadelic's 10-ton album of that title is as important a document in doom metal as the first Black Sabbath album, though its influence may be subliminal to the average practitioner of the dark art) and that is found in "Loss" which beats that dead horse for a merciful 6 minutes. Bursts of guitar smoke erupt in between the hooves of the Reapers horse as he surveys the poisoned crop of humanity for his next soul. Or something like that. It's a bleak picture, but the fun kind of bleak. The kind of bleak that you can water ski behind. It's meat and potatoes anhililation Earthride trade in, and it's your buds left slackjawed, holding your beer.

Race Previews
North Mankato Stuff...
Thursday, 24 June 2010 06:30
The 13th edition of the North Mankato Triathlon will be staged on Sunday. Like Saturday's Croixathlon, it will be conscientiously produced by people who still exude "Minnesota Niceness." If you're not registered for an event this weekend, we strongly recommend either of these races. We would also recommend the Lake Waconia Triathlon, of course, but it has been full for some time.
A solid field will be on hand for this year's NMT. Here are our podium pics:
MEN - 1. Sam Janicki - A virtual shoo-in for a Rookie of the Year nomination, Sam has one Tri Minnesota Series win (COLT) and a 2nd (Albert Lea) already this season. 2. Todd Landgraff - The defending champ is not currently registered but we suspect that he'll race on Sunday. As his podium finish at Liberty Half demonstrates, he's taken his game to a new level in 2010. 3. Jesse Nelson - Stripped of a course ....
record at RochesterFest Sprint last weekend (equipment infraction), Nelson will aggressively seek redemption on Sunday. He'll finish no lower than 3rd.

Findhorn Bay wildfowling mediation to begin
Press release • Aug 23, 2018 16:23 BST
MORAY Council has appointed a mediator to try to resolve the conflict surrounding wildfowling in Findhorn Bay.
Councillors agreed in June to bring in an external mediator after it emerged that only 23 voluntary wildfowling permits were applied for in the 2017/18 season.
With this now in place, work will begin immediately to encourage all interested parties to reach an agreement. It's expected that the first meeting of the group will take place within the next fortnight, with an update reported back to councillors once the negotiations have concluded.
Leader of Moray Council, and Chair of its Economic Development & Infrastructure Committee, Cllr Graham Leadbitter, said he was confident that impartial mediation would provide the opportunity for honest and open-minded dialogue between the parties involved.
"I'd encourage participants to actively take part in the discussion and I hope that progress can be made through these negotiations. What's best for the nature reserve is of paramount importance and should remain at the forefront of any decision-making.
"It's now for the group to take ownership of these discussions and work together towards a solution."
Jeremy Scuse of Catalyst Mediation, who the council has appointed to assist the negotiation, said:
"Clearly Moray Council would prefer that all users of the nature reserve were able to work together voluntarily in the Reserve's best interests.
"There is a voluntary wildfowling permit scheme in place that has been criticised, and my role is to help the interested parties reach a workable agreement so that everyone can enjoy the bay."
Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live. Nestling between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, Moray stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Brodie Castle in the west.

Yes today is my birthday & I've had this tune in my head all day courtesy of my son's favourite channel - Baby TV!
I've stopped counting the number of candles on my cakes since hitting the big 3-0, but you're never too old to celebrate. Tuesday also happens to be my day off work, so I got to spend the day with Rowan in the sun, yey. I can never truly escape the office though & popped in for some birthday cake and to write a quick blog!
We have a list of staff birthdays up in the office & I noticed we have 3 birthdays in June, so June is the most popular birth month amongst us.
At BasketsGalore we sell plenty of birthday gift baskets all year round, so it made me wonder which month in general has the most birthdays.
I took to Google to do a bit of research & discovered that September is apparently the most popular birth month by far. Some researchers suggest this is because conception would be around the party season time - December/January!
Rowan was due at the end of September but then didn't appear until October, so he would have added to these statistics had he been on time. My cousin is also expecting this September and my husband's cousin's girlfriend, so this also supports the September popularity theory!
Further research showed that July, August & September are all equally popular months, as conception would be in the cooler Autumn and Winter months when people are spending more time indoors!
I'm sure if we had the proper statistics they would probably show that most months are fairly similar in birth rate, but it's fun to try & spot a trend!
If I had to pick any of our gift baskets as a birthday present I think my current favourite is the new "Candy Crush" gift basket. Full of wonderful summery, sweet treats I would really enjoy nibbling my way through all these goodies on a warm June evening.

Valentine's Day 2019 Gift Guide
Valentine's Day, no matter your view on it, is still a day of love and appreciation for the person that you are in a relationship with. Now with the day being two weeks away, we've decided to drop a list of ideas that will guarantee the recipient to be happily overwhelmed.
Gone are the days of grocery store flowers. Eternity Flowers are the new wave. Venus ET Fleur has set the standard for these rose setting but if they are out of your budget, it's pretty easy to DI, or you can reach out to your local florist to see if they can accomplish this for you.
Please refrain from getting you S/O that heart shaped box of cheap assorted chocolates. We only like maybe one or two and the rest is going in the trash or will be in the fridge until Christmas. The Kim Kardashian West Heart Fragrances are the best "candy" gifts you'll give your valentine this year. It's cute, thoughtful and supes IG worthy. If you're not down with the KKW, chocolate covered strawberries hand delivered to their job is always a classic.
Now when it comes to jewelry, my only rule of thumb, is that you don't get a ring before you're married unless you're proposing. You don't want to cause any confusion or disappointments. Stick with bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, earrings, etc. The ones pictured here are from Tiffany and are more my style, but you know your partner, so feel free to pop into your local jeweler and see the selections they have. Now is not the time to go cheap BUT you also don't need to break the bank on diamonds. These Tiffany sterling silver mini heart shaped studs are only $150.
Did this list help? Or did you already have something in mind?

The National Green Tribunal's central zone bench in Bhopal has banned mining activities in 84 stone and marble quarries located inside and within 1 km radius of the Sariska tiger reserve and adjoining Jamuaramgarh sanctuary. While criticizing the Rajasthan government for unabated illegal mining in the Aravalli hills, including Sariska, the NGT also flayed Haryana for using illegally mined stones. Friday's order followed written submissions by the assistant conservator of forests of Tehla that 61 quarries were operating inside the Sariska reserve and 23 quarries in the buffer zone of the reserve and the adjoining Jamuaramgarh sanctuary.
A two-member bench of justices Dalip Singh and P S Rao directed the Rajasthan government to take steps to ensure "no mining activity is carried out in areas of 61 plus 23 mining leases and the same shall remain discontinued till further order". It instructed the mining department to carry out a survey to verify the location of the quarries. "We have asked the concerned divisional forest officer under whose jurisdiction such illegal mining activity has been reported in the forest areas, to immediately prepare a plan for restoration of the forest area and submit the same to the government on war footing," said Justice Dalip Singh. "After examining it, the government shall accord necessary administrative and financial sanction for carrying out the restoration and reforestation work and fix boundary pillars and check posts.
" The bench had written to the chief secretaries of the two states to submit their response. While Rajasthan replied, the Haryana government's response is still awaited. "The mining activity is in total violation and contravention of the orders of the Supreme Court and the state government has to take necessary steps for enforcing the directions and ensure that no illegal mining activities in the Aravalli hill range as well as forest area of Alwar are allowed to be carried out," said Justice Dalip Singh.
The NGT directed the Rajasthan government to submit satellite imageries of the Aravalli region for 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and the latest taken in April 2014 — so that the extent of degradation of forest and damage caused in the ecologically sensitive Aravali hill range could be visualized. The response of the officials of the mining and forest department has to be based on the satellite imageries. "The task shall be completed on or before May 25, 2014 and necessary sanctions granted have to be reported to the tribunal by May 27, 2014. The matter would be listed before the tribunal on May 29, 2014," the NGT order said.

For their "E.G.11" album (see links below), E-girls put together an updated disco fantastic to the tune of Village People's 1978 "Y.M.C.A.". E-girls play through a set of large dance numbers in some spectacular locations and with even more spectacular choreography. Plotwise (as if it matters), E-girls Central warps its members to Girls High Schools for fun and impressive dances with the young girls of their prospective audience. If I were a young girl in High School in Japan, I would feel pretty empowered and inspired by this kind of example of Japanese pride. Clearly E-girls are a gifted group that allows each girl to play to her strength and girl content is really popular in japan and the rest of the world since you can find adult content in different sites or also sex toys in sites like B boutique online. Fans of the spectacle of E-girls releases for their intricate set pieces and dance routines will find much to muse over with "Y.M.C.A.". For my part, I always think of the song as the salty/sweet gay anthem of the 70's that's about dispossessed men cruising for boys at the athletic arm of the Christian charity, since gay content have become more popular, and there sites where you can go to gayporn, if you're into this content. Well, that was then and this is now, so I can understand if that kind of baggage doesn't mean much to viewers in 2018. "E.G.11", the album from E-girls, goes on sale May 23, 2018.

Template:List of Chaparral ModelsChaparral Cars was a United States automotive company which built prototype race cars from the 1960s through the early 1980s. Chaparral was founded by Jim Hall, a Texas oil magnate with an impressive combination of skills in engineering and race car driving. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Chaparral's distinctive race cars experienced strong success in both American and European racing circuits. Despite winning the Indy 500 in 1980, the Chaparrals left motor racing in 1982. Chaparral cars also featured in the SCCA/CASC CanAm series and in the European FIA Group 7.
Chaparral was the first to introduce effectively designed air dams and spoilers ranging from the tabs attached to the earliest 2C model to the driver-controlled high wing 'flipper' on the astoundingly different looking 2E, all the way through to Hall's most idealistically inspired creation, the 2J, the car that would forever be known as the 'vacuum cleaner'. Chaparral also used a semi-automatic transmission.
The 2 was a open roof racecar, built to compete in the USRRC championship, it won the 1965 12 hours of Sebring.
The 2D was an improved design of the 2C, designed in 1966. It won at Nürburgring in 1966 with Phil Hill. This car is one of 2 Chapparal race cars to appear in Gran Turismo 4.
Based on the 2D the 2E was built to compete in the Can Am championships, it scored one win in Laguna Seca with Phil Hill driving.
The car scored its only win in the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch with Phil Hill and Mike Spence won the with 2F.
The 1967 2G was an improved version of the 2E. It was more aerodynamic. The car ended Hall's racing career when he crashed at the Stardust Grand Prix.
The 2H was built in 1969 as the replacement for the 2G. Hall thought that it was a good design. The car was not very successful.
The most famous Chaparral was the 2J. In addition to a powerful 679 BHP engine, the back of the 2J housed two large 17-inch fans driven by a 45hp snowmobile engine. The purpose of the fans was to 'suck' air from under the car and propel it out the back. This gave the car tremendous gripping power and enabled greater maneuverability at all speeds, which cannot be achieved by simpler aerodynamic devices such as diffusers and wings. Since it 'sucked' a fixed amount of air out from under the car at all speeds, downforce did not decrease at lower speeds. With other aerodynamic devices, down-force decreases as the car slows down or achieves too much of a slip angle, both of which were not problems for the 'sucker car'. It also had ground effect skirts to keep air from leaking out, a technology that would appear in Formula One several years later. The 2J was not a success, despite qualifying from the front at each rounds, the car was plagued with mechanical problems and ran for only one racing season in 1970 as its technology was quickly outlawed by the SCCA after driver's complaints of stones being thrown at them from the rear. It was also adopted in Formula 1 for the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix, used by Brabham BT46B which it was banned soon after. The 2J is the other Chapparal to appear in Gran Turismo 4.File:2jp2.jpg
The 2K was a USAC ground effects car which was designed by Briton John Barnard winning the 1980 Indy 500 with Johnny Rutherford.

Speed Racer's Mach 5 appears to be inspired by the Chaparral 2C, by the pointed nose, open cockpit, and bulging fenders.
In 2005 a wing of the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland, Texas was dedicated to the permanent display of the remaining Chaparral cars and the history of their development by Midland native Jim Hall.

"CIDRZ is doing great and I am happy that CAGs (Community Adherence Groups) are being given three months drug refills which addresses sustainability questions of these social structures among group members as well as guaranteeing drug availability"
The HIV Coverage, Quality, and Impact Network (CQUIN) Director, Dr Peter Preko said this during a tour of Chilenje Level 1 Hospital where Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ) is implementing two differentiated service delivery models (DSD) namely Community Adherence Groups (CAG) and Fast Tract for stable HIV patients.
Dr Preko and his team visited the health facility to draw lessons on the CAG model.
CIDRZ has been implementing the CAG model since April 2015 with 288 groups formed so far, targeting 1728 patients, as a strategy to help decongest health facilities and improve service delivery and patient retention to care.
CQUIN is a multi-country learning network dedicated to improving DSD for people living with HIV. The network convenes health system leaders from countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to participate in joint learning and information exchange, with the goal of fostering scale-up and spread of high-quality differentiated services.

When you're a homeowner, it is vital that you take the responsibility of insurance seriously. There are several flood insurance requirements that a property owner of a Myrtle beach home should be aware of.
Mortgage Lender
Most mortgage lenders will necessitate the need for flood insurance, no matter what your situation. If you have a loan which is insured through the FHA, the federal government will require a flood insurance policy from the lender if the property is situated in an elected FEMA flood zone. The zone map is restructured regularly to reveal areas that have a particular level of flood risk. Apart from your mortgage lender, the home association will also require you to carry flood insurance.
Requirements For Insurance Coverage
When the mortgage lender obliges you to purchase flood insurance, the amount you will be required to pay for insurance is varied depending on if your property is located in a flood zone and based on your situation. Flood insurance law necessitates an owner to have Myrtle Beach flood insurance coverage for at least the minimum outstanding balance on the mortgage or the insurance value of your house and the mortgage lender will also be a nominated party on the flood insurance policy.
If you are unsure about your flood insurance requirements, it is advisable to speak to an insurance agent to guide you accordingly. They can assist you with a better understanding of what your insurance needs are and what type of cover you'll be needing. Before you decide on the coverage, you'll be buying; these are the questions you need to be asking.
1. Do You Have Enough Coverage – if you haven't studied your policy limits in the last few years, it's possible that you're underinsured? It is essential to document any improvements or upgrades done along with substantial purchases that you've made for the property and store the information in a safe place where it is not vulnerable to fire or water damage. If the policy is not covering your property and possessions adequately, you'll need to raise your policy limits if possible.
2. Must You Reconsider The Deductible Amount – make sure you ask your agent about the advantages and potential drawbacks of lowering or raising your deductible. If supplementing flood insurance to your policy is increasing the amount above your means, levitating the deductible may bring the costs down.
3. Does Your Policy Cover The Full Replacement Cost – Most policies don't cover the actual replacement costs and generally has a cap on the home structure and contents. This means you may want to consider paying a little extra for "guaranteed replacement cost" in your current policy. If you don't have this additional cover, you'll be stuck with paying for replacing aged electronics and other items out of your pocket which can be a substantial expense. Make sure your policy provides cover for up to 125% of your home's insured value to compensate for drywall and other construction materials in case of a disaster happening.

Hello NetSquared!
As a (fairly) new, lurking member of the NetSquared community, I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I work for TechSoup Global, right alongside NetSquared's very own Amy Sample Ward, Claire Sale, and Billy Bicket. I've been here since September and wanted to finally jump in here on the blog. This is an amazing community, and I'm so excited to be a small part of it!
As it happens, NetSquared falls under the umbrella of the Community-Driven Innovation team, a group at TSG committed to bridging the gap between the social/tech activist (like you guys) and the nonprofit (like all our friends over on TechSoup.org).
I'll have more to share about our programs and plans in the coming weeks, but, true to our name, we're all about listening to our community and driving programs based on your feedback, needs, wants, and fantasies. So I hope to learn more about you all while I tell you a bit more about me!
Here's where you can find me:
I'm so glad to be aboard and look forwarding to getting to know NetSquared better! Feel free to reach out to me at any of the above entry points. I'd love to hear from you!

What do you think of when you hear about Adobe Acrobat? PDF files, right? PDF (portable document format) has been used for more than a decade to share files freely between computers regardless if you're using a Mac, Linux, or Windows machine as long as you have the Reader installed. But Adobe Acrobat has much more to offer than simply creating and displaying PDF files.
Grants can support the changing needs in your community while your budget is flat or shrinking and provide many benefits (in addition to funding!). Wish you knew more about applying for grants? Does it seem overwhelming and you wonder how to get started? This webinar will be easy to understand, motivating, and full of valuable tips.
Are you looking for a database, but not sure which one is right? Or do you wish your current database allowed you to track donations, volunteers, emails, and events? CiviCRM may be a tool that is right for your organization.
Does your data live in several spreadsheets that all have to be maintained? Perhaps a database is in order, but how do you get from managing several spreadsheets to having the information live in one organized place? FileMaker Pro may be the solution for you.
Recently, I had a chance to connect with Chris Worman to learn about his team's efforts in creating a local philanthropy workshop in Romania. I was interested to learn about the event and how they are continuing, even after the event, to build understanding about local philanthropy in Romania and throughout the region.
When you have computers connected to the internet or to any external device, you need to take precautions. There are threats present that can not only cause harm to your computers, but could damage files on your network or potentially put sensitive data at risk. This free webinar will help you understand what the threats are and how your computers can get infected.
Kami Griffiths from TechSoup will interview Marian Merritt, an Internet Safety Advocate from Symantec Corporation who will explain what employees should know and what activities can be problematic.
This webinar will cover specific open source tools (some of which you may not have heard of before!) that work well for libraries and the benefits and challenges associated with their use. Meadville Public Library uses open source software on 90% of their public access computers.
The term cloud computing is being used more and more, but what is it and why should you understand it? In this free webinar we will explain what cloud computing means, define the different types, discuss how it is impacting nonprofits and libraries, and outline some criteria for use. The challenges of using the "cloud" will be discussed, as well as whether cloud computing will simplify your life and reduce software and IT staffing costs.
Are you looking for a new donor management tool, but aren't sure where to start? Attend this free webinar and learn about three popular donor management tools for nonprofits and libraries.
You've heard that social media can be useful to your organization… but how useful? For what? What tangible results are people seeing from it? If you or others at your organization are asking these questions, this webinar is for you.

I'm here in Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania, for The Local Philanthropy Workshop run by the OdorheiuSecuiesc Community Foundation and TechSoup Romania. This three-and-a-half day event will really kick off tomorrow morning and lead well into the weekend, bringing together NGO and IT participants to work together, share needs and expertise, and build capacity to move Romania and our communities further towards the civil society and engaged philanthropy environment we all want. There will be plenty of conversations, workshops, and learning opportunities here at the conference facility, but our goal is to share out throughout the event so you can join the conversation!

Skip to comments.As Biden and Kerry Went Soft on China, Sons Made Nuclear, Military Business Deals with Chinese Gov't
Posted on 03/22/2019 9:54:42 AM PDT by RightGeek
In 2013 and 2014, China embarked on an aggressive air and island campaign to dominate the South China Sea, much to the dismay of Japan and other countries in the region. When Vice President Joe Biden visited the country in 2013, he emphasized trade between the U.S. and China and did not focus on the South China Sea. Secretary of State John Kerry did the same in 2014.
Meanwhile, Biden's son Hunter and Kerry's stepson Chris Heinz carried out massive business deals with Chinese officials and the state-owned Bank of China. Worse, Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz even invested in a Chinese nuclear company under FBI investigation.
"During a critical eighteen-month period of diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Beijing, the Biden and Kerry families and friends pocketed major cash from companies connected to the Chinese government," Peter Schweizer writes in his new book "Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends."
Schweizer's book delves into the ways in which "American Princelings" profit at home and abroad from the economic and diplomatic policies of high-ranking U.S. officials. With former Vice President Biden rumored to be considering a 2020 presidential run, the scandals surrounding how his diplomatic efforts enriched his son take on renewed importance. His role in abetting China's aggression for family gain seems particularly damning.
If Schweizer's reporting is correct, Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz became immensely rich even as their respective father and step-father enabled China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, in espionage against America's nuclear technology, and in the global minerals trade.

Did they register as Foreign Agents?"
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
CHINA WILL LIKELY replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a matter of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build China's military strength than any man on earth.
Most Americans have heard of the so-called "Chinagate " scandal. Few understand its deadly import, however. Web sites such as "Chinagate for Dummies" and its companion "More Chinagate for Dummies" offer some assistance. Unfortunately, with a combined total of nearly 8,000 words, these two sites - like so many others of the genre - offer more detail than most of us "dummies" can absorb.
For that reason, in the 600 words left in this column, I will try to craft my own "Idiot's Guide to Chinagate," dedicated to all those busy folks like you and me whose attention span tends to peter out after about 750 words.
Here goes.
When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, China presented little threat to the United States. Chinese missiles "couldn't hit the side of a barn," notes Timothy W. Maier of Insight magazine. Few could reach North America and those that made it would likely miss their targets.
Thanks to Bill Clinton, China can now hit any city in the USA, using state-of-the-art, solid-fueled missiles with dead-accurate, computerized guidance systems and multiple warheads.
China probably has suitcase nukes as well. These enable China to strike by proxy - equipping nuclear-armed terrorists to do their dirty work, while the Chinese play innocent. Some intelligence sources claim that China maintains secret stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons on U.S. soil, for just such contingencies.
In 1997, Clinton allowed China to take over the Panama Canal. The Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa leased the ports of Cristobal and Balboa, on the east and west openings of the canal respectively, thus controlling access both ways. A public outcry stopped Clinton in 1998 from leasing California's Long Beach Naval Yard to the Chinese firm COSCO. Even so, China can now strike U.S. targets easily from their bases in Panama, Vancouver and the Bahamas.
How did China catch up so fast? Easy. We sold them all the technology they needed - or handed it over for free.
Neither neglect nor carelessness are to blame. Bill Clinton did it on purpose.
As a globalist, Clinton promotes "multipolarity"-the doctrine that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain decisive advantage over others.
To this end, Clinton appointed anti-nuclear activist Hazel O'Leary to head the Department of Energy. O'Leary set to work "leveling the playing field," as she put it, by giving away our nuclear secrets. She declassified 11 million pages of data on U.S. nuclear weapons and loosened up security at weapons labs.
Federal investigators later concluded that China made off with the "crown jewels"of our nuclear weapons research under Clinton's open-door policy - probably including design specifications for suitcase nukes.
Meanwhile, Clinton and his corporate cronies raked in millions.
In his book The China Threat, Washington Times correspondent Bill Gertz describes how the system worked. Defense contractors eager to sell technology to China poured millions of dollars into Clinton's campaign. In return, Clinton called off the dogs. Janet Reno and other counterintelligence officials stood down while Lockheed Martin, Hughes Electronics, Loral Space & Communications and other U.S. companies helped China modernize its nuclear strike force.
"We like your president. We want to see him reelected," former Chinese intelligence chief General Ji Shengde told Chinagate bagman Johnny Chung.
Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert operation aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clinton's way.
Clinton's top campaign contributors for 1992 were Chinese agents; his top donors in 1996 were U.S. defense contractors selling missile technology to China.
Clinton received funding directly from known or suspected Chinese intelligence agents, among them James and Mochtar Riady who own the Indonesian Lippo Group; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted Sioeng; Maria Hsia; Wang Jun and others.
Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clinton's front man in many Chinagate deals. When investigators began probing Browns Lippo Group and Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a suspicious April 1996 plane crash.
Needless to say, China does not share Clinton's enthusiasm for globalism or multipolarity. The Chinese look out for Number One.
"War [with the United States] is inevitable; we cannot avoid it," said Chinese Defense Minister General Chi Haotian in 2000. "The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war."
Bill Clinton has given them a good start.

John Kerry himself led trade missions to China in the 90's. for the purpose of helping U.S. tech companies move to China. He worked with Boston Capital and a guy named Paul Marco.

Scweizer's book is great. I'm surprised it isn't talked about more often.
Joe Biden likes to cry poor while he lives on a big spread and both of his sons (one now passed) became lobbyists. Whose influence do we think they were selling?
Nothing to see here, move along. It's been totally ignored by the MSM.
What the heck is going on in that family?!
If two of Obola's first reports sons were in on and profiting from this deal, Obola had to know about it and be dipping his beak into it, too.
Nothing will be done and the show will go on.
Maybe Robert Mueller will investigate. Maybe the democrats in congress will investigate. Maybe celebs will call for their arrests.
Maybe not.
Literally treason and nothing is ever done.
