Substitute Leonardo Ulloa scored a late winner as Leicester City beat Norwich City 1-0 in the Premier League.
Ulloa tapped in at the back post from a Marc Albrighton cross in front of over 32,000 fans at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The result means Leicester City move 5 points clear at the top of the table with their closest rivals not in action until Sunday.
Leicester made their first team change in 8 matches with Daniel Amartey making his debut for the suspended Danny Simpson while Alex Tettey returned to the visiting midfield.
Both sides started brightly, Cameron Jerome thwarted by Peter Schmeichel before Shinji Okazaki's back heel flick was blocked on the line.
Norwich began the game tight and deep, keeping ten behind the ball, restricting Leicester to long range chances in the opening quarter including two over the top from Albrighton.
Unable to capitalise on their chances, the Foxes slowly allowed the Canaries into the game as they pressed higher up the pitch.
Further chances fell to Albrighton and Jerome with the Leicester winger glancing a header wide from a free kick with just John Ruddy to beat, matched moments later by Jerome from a rare Norwich corner.
Leicester started the 2nd half on top, Riyad Mahrez drawing a foul from Steven Naismith who earned the first yellow of the match, soon followed by Ryan Bennett for a rash challenge on Jamie Vardy.
Albrighton again injected some life into the game after a slow third quarter, forcing a save from Ruddy with another effort from distance before manager Claudio Ranieri brought on Andy King and Jeffrey Schlupp for Okazki and N'Golo Kante.
The Foxes final subsititution, Ulloa on for Amartey, saw the home side switch to a 3-4-3 as they looked for a late winner.
The gamble nearly back fired after Nathan Redmond's shot flew narrowly wide with just over 5 minutes remaining but ultimately paid off.
A low cross from the right by Albrighton appeared to fall to no-one before Ulloa pounced at the back post to finish in an unguarded goal.
Mahrez looked lively throughout, constantly switching wings but was rarely a threat for Ruddy or the Canaries defence.
Vardy, looking for his 20th goal of the season, was kept quiet by the packed Norwich defence and struggled to link up with strike partners Okazaki or Mahrez for much of the game.
His best chance came for a 30 yard free kick saved low to the right by Ruddy just before the hour mark.

Sea Scouts and Pilgrims Aboard
As if to demonstrate the diverse nature of Endeavour's community involvement we were delighted to have a group of twelve St Clement's Pilgrims, including Father Clive Hillman, on board in August.
After mass at church with a blessing they came aboard for the first part of their adventure from Leigh to Rochester. From Rochester they picked up the ancient trail at Aylesford before continuing to Canterbury Cathedral.

[on which see Annsley Merelle Ward's earlier Katposts here, and here on whether the trial of patent infringement issues should take place ahead of the trial of FRAND issues, or vice versa]. In the proceedings noted here, Vringo applied for disclosure in its infringement claim. Vringo produced a mobile handset, the standard for which stated that it supported a certain multimedia handover technology. If this were so, argued Vringo, that meant that ZTE's product had to infringed its patent, which covered that technology. ZTE had provided a product description which stated that the relevant infrastructure and handsets did not in fact have that function.
" ... a person (other than the proprietor of the patent) also infringes a patent for an invention if, while the patent is in force and without the consent of the proprietor, he supplies or offers to supply in the United Kingdom a person other than a licensee or other person entitled to work the invention with any of the means, relating to an essential element of the invention, for putting the invention into effect when he knows, or it is obvious to a reasonable person in the circumstances, that those means are suitable for putting, and are intended to put, the invention into effect in the United Kingdom".The disclosure application was made approximately six weeks before the date of the trial of the matter. This trial looked like being a big one, since it also involved three other infringement claims, not to mention the predictable challenge by ZTE to the validity of the patent.
On Tuesday Birss J agreed to let Vringo obtain disclosure. In his view:
* It was plain that, if the court acceded to Vringo's application, it would not be possible to try the multimedia handover technology point at the listed trial date. While the court could determine that Vringo had not properly pleaded its case and simply dismiss the point, that gave rise to a possible grave injustice if Vringo was correct and if there had been a properly pleaded case.
* Another option was to adjourn the trial altogether, including the other matters.
* On balance, the least bad option was to permit Vringo to amend its pleadings and to ensure that there was proper disclosure by ZTE so as to deal with this issue. That meant that the multimedia handover point could not be dealt with at the listed trial -- but all the other matters could still be determined.
* There was no need to hear ZTE's section 60(2) defence at the same time as the validity challenge.
Birss J added that an advantage of his chosen course of action was that the multimedia handover point would be left to one side until the trial was resolved: three different patent infringement claims in one trial was already quite enough.

Arashiyama is so classic that when deciding the most classic sightseeing spot in Kyoto, it would have to be either Arashiyama or Kiyomizu Temple. So when heading to Arashiyama we had a formidable task ahead of us: we had to go to a villa and seven temples, and finish it all with some excellent sushi.
We started our trip from Hankyu Arashiyama Station, which is located on the south side of Arashiyama. When you head to the main part of Arashiyama from the station, you get to this beautiful bridge called the Togetsu-kyo Bridge. The bridge itself is beautiful, but it's also a great place to have your picture taken. Just remember to get to the bridge early, as it gets crowded fast. We took this picture at around 8:50 a.m.

Many people have probably seen this percentage mark around Kyoto. It's the logo of the hottest coffee shop in Kyoto right now, Arabica %. They have a shop in Arashiyama too, and luckily for us, since we got there early, it didn't have the usual line in front of it.
This meant that we could have a cup of latte with our autumn leaves.
Some things never change, and one of them is the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. It's beautifully verdant even during the autumn leaves season. A most stop before going to the temples.
|Ukyo-ku, Kyoto-shi

Okochi Sanso Villa is a popular destination in Arashiyama, and for a good reason. The view you get from the top is spectacular, and the garden is beautiful no matter which season you visit.
The entrance to the garden is a bit expensive at 1,000 yen per person, but you do get a postcard, a traditional Japanese sweet, and matcha tea for it, besides of course getting to see the beautiful sprawling gardens that Denjiro Okochi had built.
Jojakko-ji Temple is a little way north from Okochi Sanso, and it's also a very popular sightseeing spot among tourists.
Jojakko-ji Temple is most famous for its beautiful pagoda, which some rank as the most beautiful in Japan. The view you get from the top of the temple is also great, so I recommend climbing all the way up, without giving up by the pagoda.
Nison-in Temple is famous for the wide path leading up it. The name of the temple comes from it having two main deities, one for the people born to the temple, and one for those who sleep away.
The main hall of the temple looks cute with the colored flags hanging from it.
But the best part of Nison-in is of course the autumn leaves. There is not so much to see at this temple besides the leaves, so this temple should not be the main attraction in your itinerary.
One of the most beautiful traditional streets in Kyoto, the Preserved Street of Saga-Toriimoto, is just on the way to Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple. There are sake shops, kimono cleaners, and souvenir shops, but everything is traditional. There is nothing modern here!

Even this normally very quiet temple known for its hundreds, if not thousands, of small Jizo statues, is a bit busy during the autumn leaves season.
This temple is a bit higher up so the autumn leaves are of really vividly colored here.
Gio-ji Temple is famous for its beautiful moss garden, and the best time to see its autumn leaves is said to be when they've already fallen down. This way you get to see the moss of the garden turn into a beautiful red carpet.
And another nice thing: entrance to Gio-ji Temple only costs 300 yen per person!

Takiguchi Temple is a temple right next to Gio-ji Temple, easily recognized from the many signs saying no photography before its ticket counter. However, if you buy a ticket, you're free to take as many pictures as you like.
Once at the temple, we were greeted by this sight. The temple was under construction. However, we got a 50 yen off ticket we can use the next time we're going to Takiguchi. And by the way, this is the first temple we've found in Japan that allows you to smoke inside it.
Enrian Temple is a small temple, more of a hermitage, you can find between Gio-ji and Seiryo-ji Temple. The temple is only open once a year, during the autumn leaves season, from first of November to 7 of December.
The temple is very beautiful especially after the autumn leaves have fallen to the ground. A hidden gem not too far from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station.
Seiryo-ji Temple is a huge temple, but one that is not frequented by so many tourists. Especially if you pay the 400 yen fee at the entrance of the main hall, you get to view the main hall and the garden of the temple in peace.
If you pay the 400 yen entrance fee, you even get to walk on this cool wooden walkway. Can you spot our writer Vanessa in the picture?
After a very fully booked morning in Arashiyama, we headed for Daizen for some well-earned sushi. Daizen is famous for their mackerel sushi which is wrapped in seaweed. You take the seaweed off before eating the sushi, but the seaweed bestows its delicate umami flavors into the fish, making this sushi a must-have when in Kyoto.
Another great thing to have is their Instagram-ready "hakozushi" which features Japanese omelette, conger eel, bream, and shrimp. And it tastes just as delicious as it looks!

1653 K Fri 19 April 2002
The Liturgy department of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops have added four new pages, listed on the right.
The indult on purifications in the United States is:
So it is not an automatic "Extraordinary ministers can do the instituted acolyte's job of the purifications." The faculty may, or may not, be given by the dicoesan Bishop. It must be "necessary" for the priest to have assistance. It seems to me that such a necessity would only apply in rare emergencies. So I expect this will end on 22 March 2005.
The March Newsletter gives a good description of additions and changes to the contents of the 2002 Roman Missal. I have written lots about the differences between the 2000 and 2002 Institutio Generalis at romanrite.com/missal. Its good to now have others saying there is a difference, even if only one of the "minor adjustments" is given.

To Pay, or Not to Pay? That is the Question …to the editor I mean.
Sunday July 17, 2011 | By Hieronymus Hawkes | Blogging
I've been thinking a lot about editing lately. I can't judge how good my own writing is, I'm too close to it and have read it so many times I can't evaluate it objectively. I also want to know where the glaring problems are so that I can fix them. Thankfully I have a writing partner, but even after that process I might want to have a "Real" editor take a whack at it (no offense meant Stacy). Looking at the average cost for a novel of 500 pages or 120,000ish words it runs around $1500. It can vary up and down from that several hundred dollars, but let's use that as a baseline figure. In order to recoup that cost I have to sell books. If I put it up on Amazon for $3.99 I get to keep 70% of that or $2.79. That would require me to sell 536 books to hit the break even point and that is not even counting the cost of getting it published. If I choose to sell it at $2.99, I get $2.09 and have to sell 718 copies. If I choose the $.99 price point many new authors are using I get $.35 a copy and that requires 4286 books to sell to hit the break even point.
Honestly, I'm sure having a real editor give my book a good going over is really worthwhile, but it's a real leap of faith to make that investment on something that may only sell to my family and friends out of kindness. I think anyone that is self-publishing should have their book edited by a professional. The other option is to try to get it as good as I can and get a publishing company to buy the rights and do all that stuff on their nickel
I'm really curious how many of you are using an editing service and if you think it's worth it.
6 Responses
I hired Kristen Lamb to take a look at my first 100 pages of my mss. She didn't need that many. I'm convinced a good editor can tell you what your book needs in three chapters. Sometimes in three pages. I recommend that, if you hire an editor, you hire them for the first 50 pages. And for me, it was a game changer. Good luck!
Have you started critiquing other people's writing, yet? And if so, has it been more than just one persons work?
Before you fork over any money to an editing service, make sure you've had plenty of people reading & critiquing. If you need more people, you might look for a writers group in your area (check the library, although I found mine through meetup.com) or just look for readers (again, the library is a good place!). I think the editing part should be the LAST thing you do before publication (of which I agree, every book should be edited before publication, whether the traditional route or self-pubbing).
I hired an editor for the book I just self-published. It was the largest expense, and I believe the most worthwhile. But I just hired someone for line editing and continuity, and not for developmental editing – this is the same book that had gone through my reading group, my own edits (by my count, six while I was going through the query stage) and my former agent's edits twice. Save the edit for the pre-publish stage to catch things like your overuse of a particular adjective. Stacy's suggestion of finding a writing group or critique partner is solid and will save you money and time.
Piper that may be a good solution for me, thanks for the idea! Good to see you again!Ivy, I've only helped one person so far. I'm still looking for more writing partners, but just not too actively at this point, I still need to finish and make a few passes on it, why do you ask?Hi Stacy! I will definitely do that,just thinking ahead a little about the costs involved and wondering how many self-published authors are paying for their editing. =)Hi Caryn! Welcome to the Verge! Thanks for the info on your self-pub, it's definitely less expensive if you fore go the developmental editing, I guess I will have a better idea when I get past some beta readers. Thanks for stopping by!

I asked my future daughter-in-law what she wanted for Christmas and she gave me links for clothes, which I bought her. But, I wanted to get her something that she would love and be reminded of her first Christmas with us. I like to buy what I call "Forever" presents at Christmas time. She gave me more ideas and I bought her a necklace that I know she likes. My hope is that through the years, each time she wears it, she will think of us fondly.
Have a Very Merry Christmas
How perfect Suzan! Trust me, she will always remember this gift. I just posted about some special gifts from my mom -- gifts of love. I love birds, too, and I've never seen a snow globe like this; it's so pretty!! John did well! :-D Our son is having a really nice Christmas this year, too. He received two gifts early because he needed them, and he's already posted them on Facebook and THANKED US on Facebook, tool. Yes, it does warm our hearts for sure. :)

What a gorgeous snow globe! I wish I had known she wanted to collect them...I sold all 22 of mine at a garage sale for a song last summer. I enjoyed them for years though. It is fun to find THE perfect gift. I'm a little jealous that your wrapping is done.ReplyDelete
Sweet snow globe! I'd even like that. I'm happy that you found it for her - the perfect gift. I have done the brown paper wrap in the past and used stamps to decorate it. Yours look great!ReplyDelete
That is just beautiful. Although if she reads your blog you are busted....lol We just had Christmas with the kids and I am ashamed to say I didn't get all of the presents wrapped so I just went with that and it worked.....I know next year will be better.ReplyDelete
Due to a large amount of spam ( that I'm tired of going back to posts and deleting ) I'll be using comment moderation from now on !!!
Can I beat these spammers at their own game? Probably not - but I'm going
to try my damnedest !!!


text: Trump Hotels admitted that hackers stole credit card and other sensitive information about guests who stayed at 14 Trump properties via a breach of Sabre Hospitality Solutions, the third-party reservation booking system used by Trump Hotels. The unauthorized access occurred between August 10, 2016 and March 9, 2017.While being hacked is nothing new to Trump Hotels, it is far from the only hotel group affected in the latest breach. Third-party reservation provider Sabre claims its SynXis Central Reservation system serves \u201cover 36,000 properties.\u201d Security journalist Brian Krebs broke the news of the Sabre breach back in May.Within the past two weeks, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos, Loews Hotels, Carlson Wagonlit Travel used by some Google employees (pdf) and now Trump Hotels started notifying customers of the data breach.Trump Hotels, which claims \u201cthe privacy and protection of our guests\u2019 information is a matter we take very seriously,\u201d said (pdf) Sabre notified it about the breach on June 5. The Trump Hotels\u2019 notice echoed Sabre\u2019s notice of data breach about the unauthorized access of Sabre Hospitality Solutions SynXis Central Reservation System. Guests at 14 Trump properties (pdf) were advised to take steps to protect themselves against potential misuse of their information since the security incident involved unauthorized access to payment card information\u201cincluding cardholder name, payment card number, card expiration date, and potentially card security code. In some cases, the unauthorized party also was able to access guest name, email, phone number, address, and other information. Information such as Social Security, passport, and driver\u2019s license number was not accessed.\u201dTrump Hotels got a day\u2019s heads-up from Sabre, which notified Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos of the breach on June 6. Hard Rock notified customers on July 6, with Four Seasons and Trump Hotels waiting almost another week to break the bad news.Still, that is better than when Trump Hotels learned of a May 2014 breach in June 2015, but did not notify guests until four months later. That mistake resulted in Trump Hotels paying $50,000 in penalties in September 2016 as it resulted in the payment card information for more than 70,000 guests being exposed.As the Washington Post pointed out, five more Trump hotels were breached in November 2015. \u201cFour months later, in March, an attacker tapped into a legacy payment system that included personal information of Trump Hotel property owners, including names and Social Security numbers of more than 300 people.\u201dThis go-around, Trump Hotels said in a letter, \u201cWe are working with Sabre to address this issue. We understand that Sabre engaged a leading cybersecurity firm to support its investigation. Sabre indicated that they also notified law enforcement and the payment card brands about this incident.\u201dThe Sabre incident affecting luxury hotels and resorts is not the only one this year. For example, as you may recall from April, InterContinental Hotels admitted that 1,200 of its franchised hotels, such as Holiday Inn, had been also been hacked via malware which stole customer payment card data.\u201cWhy are hackers targeting hotels? Well, because they\u2019re a good target,\u201d Peter W. Singer, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, told the Post. \u201cThen you look at Trump\u2019s hotels, and they\u2019re obviously a highly symbolic target. If more people are staying there in an attempt to curry favor with the government, the fishing pool of targets is certainly greater than it was prior to November.\u201d

IT Project Management: Critical to the Success of Your Projects
In October 2013, Computerworld published an article that stated the "success rate for large, multi-million dollar commercial and government IT projects is very low." The article quoted data from the Standish Group showing that only 6.4 percent of large IT projects from 2003–2012 were successful.
Why is that the case?
Managing IT projects has many challenges. A significant, contributing factor is that information is an invisible commodity. For example, when you contrast IT with construction of a new high-rise building, every component in construction can be seen and touched—every piling, girder, air handler, panel, door, and window. Generally, a common language and terminology is used throughout the construction. This is not the case with IT projects.
On the other hand, in IT projects, until we see the results in prototype or final deliverable status, we must manage a set of invisible actions to produce invisible procedures which handle invisible information for the benefit of the frequently-invisible end-user. And perhaps more with IT than any other project management type, we must depend on individuals who make up the team, many of whom are using different programming languages and codes, to apply their skills toward the end result before we can see the results of their work.
So what can be done?
The IT workforce is now more technically competent than ever before and it is now easier to build complex, useful, and engaging applications. Yet, despite the great advances in technology and IT governance, the Federal IT workforce are often lacking in project management skills such as leadership, communication, understanding of contracts, and the balance of schedule and cost.
Only when these skills and competencies are mastered can Federal IT project participants ensure project success. Luckily, the governance and management of IT projects within the Federal sector have also greatly improved. Over the last 25 years, project management of IT has evolved into a valuable discipline and generally accepted principles of project management have emerged. Additionally, with the establishment of new roles and the formalization of requirements for certification, responsibilities and workforce training standards are now clear and well defined.

Today, Catholic Spiritual Direction features "Chastity: A Hymn to God's Providence," a wonderful review of my new book The Thrill of the Chaste (Catholic Edition). Father Angelo Geiger writes:
Dawn has a sense of divine providence working in her life, which, perhaps, is part of the thrill. Chastity is hard. Being a Catholic is hard, but, as Dawn points out, quoting a character in Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday, there is "poetry" in not being sick. Providence not only reorders our desires, but also reorders are manner of assessing what happens to us.
He adds that the new Thrill
is not just good advice from someone who has been there, though it is indeed that, and Dawn's prose and characteristic humor make for enjoyable reading. The book is a hymn to divine providence, and specifically in the way it expresses the truth that the gift of ourselves to God is accepted and protected by His love. The Marian and filial, as well as spousal dimensions of the life of grace, are evident throughout, as Dawn encourages her readers to say yes to love, like Mary did at the Annunciation and Calvary. This makes all things possible—even chastity and bearing the cross of our woundedness.

text: At the conclusion of Pastor Greg Laurie's message, he will give those both at AT&T Stadium and at host locations the opportunity to respond to the gospel. At the point that the invitation to accept Christ is made, the broadcast will cut to a pre-recorded segment that directly addresses simulcast viewers and leads those who respond in the sinner's prayer. Immediately following the prayer, Pastor Greg hands the evening back to the hosts, ending the simulcast. Please take a moment to review this example to help you prepare for transitioning from the simulcast back to your live event.

Essentially born in Norman, Oklahoma, a college town whose other '80s musical export is the awesomely-strange and amazingly-enthusiastic Flaming Lips, Defenestration had an approach to complement their odd name (it means "the throwing out of a person or thing through a window"). Lead singer Tyson Meade was weaned on B-movies, Janis Joplin and the Birthday Party; the rest of the band combined influences from T. Rex and Cheap Trick to the Byrds. Recorded for almost no money and released on a loan from Meade's mom, Defenestration first EP was hailed as "quirky and brilliant," a result of "being far more ambitious than its means." Songs like "Cut Your Soul in Half" with its sprawling gothic piano, "Slaughterville" a showcase for Meade's Joplinesque shriek, and "Heartthrob" a subtly written and beautifully melodic discourse on the politics of being an outcast, all brought great attention to what many consider the beginnings of the great alternative rock era.
The bands follow-up LP, produced by Randy Burns, Dali Does Windows was met with critical acclaim. Traces of the title's surrealist bent crop up in "Tripping Drag Queens" and "Cars in Trees"; "Bedlam Revisited" is as sad and truthful a love song as anyone could want. "D.Y. Wanna (Bubblegum)" has been described as a friendly mutation of "Bang a Gong (Get It On)."
Eventually, artistic differences broke up the band, but its legacy continues to be recognized, and the band is credited in the book Road to Nirvana as having been an early influence upon Kurt Cobain.

A new influential report on consumer trust has found heightened awareness of privacy issues is leading to encouraging changes in behaviour.
The annual Global Consumer Trust study from Mobile Ecosystem Forum found that privacy is the biggest trust-related concern for 16pc of those interviewed.
Growing awareness of privacy, security and identity issues is also prompting distinct changes in behaviour, with 75pc of respondents saying they always or sometimes reading privacy policies and terms of conditions before signing up to mobile apps or services.
In what the report dubs the emergence of the Savvy Consumer, 86pc will go on to take some kind of action if their trust is challenged.
Almost half will stop using a service (a year-on-year increase to 44pc from 38pc) and nearly one in three (30pc) will warn friends and family.
At the same time, the Savvy Consumer also rewards businesses they trust with almost half (47pc) recommending them to friends and family, and 44pc leaving a positive review.
The report, based on a 10-country study carried out by On Device Research on behalf of MEF, also shows that consumers recognise the value of services created by offering more control and choice over how their personal data is managed.
When asked what consumers would value in exchange for their sharing, personal data privacy-protection and access to their data (31pc) was judged to be more important than financial rewards (29pc) and discounts (22pc).
One in three (33pc) understands that the benefit of transferring data between providers – portability – might save them time, and one in four (25pc) would appreciate faster identity verification.
Rimma Perelmuter, MEF's CEO commented: "MEF's annual consumer trust study is a barometer of evolving consumer attitudes and carries significant lessons for the mobile ecosystem. This year's study shows a paradigm shift with the emergence of the 'Savvy Consumer' and identifies clear business benefits for all stakeholders to create data-driven services built on trust, transparency and control.
"Heightened consumer sensitivity combined with increased awareness of the value of their personal data means that the industry needs to shift its mindset and default to a position of putting the consumer first. The opportunity is to design products and services or create new business models that are based on a fair and trusted value exchange in order to meet changing consumer demands."
When asked what makes an app or service trustworthy, more people (33pc) pointed to a 'clear, simple privacy statement' than any other response.
More than half (53pc) said it was extremely important to know that an app or service is using their personal data and 61pc said it was important that a company deletes personal data held when asked.
MEF's Global Consumer Trust study is supported by ForgeRock, Orange, and digi.me. On Device Research surveyed 6,500 consumers in 10 markets: Belgium, China, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, South, Africa, Spain, UK and USA in Q2 2017.

Dr. Simone Gold has checked herself into prison after being charged with 60 days for a trespassing misdemeanor.
Dr. Simone Gold is one of many American doctors who courageously stood up and called Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx's lockdowns and mandates crazy. These doctors knew that masks and experimental vaccines were not logical steps in combatting the China coronavirus COVID19.
Dr. Gold took her work to DC after the 2020 Election and used her God-given right to protest on Jan 6 at the Capitol. She was welcomed into the Capitol by Capitol police and she protested the government's actions related to COVID.
A short time later, Dr. Gold's house was surrounded by 20 or more FBI agents coming for her arrest.
"There Were Literally 20 Guys with Guns Blazing – They Broke Down My Door" – Dr. Simone Gold Reveals Chris Wray's FBI Henchmen Storming Her Home
She eventually pled guilty to misdemeanor trespassing after seeing it was too expensive to take on the government by herself.
CDC Critic and America's Frontline Doctors Founder Dr. Simone Gold Pleads Guilty for Speaking with a Megaphone Inside US Capitol in Jan 6 Case
This week Dr. Gold went peacefully into prison for a 60-day prison sentence for her misdemeanor. The judge, in this case, should be ashamed of himself. BLM and Antifa go free after murdering more than 20 people and more than one billion dollars in damages across the country and Doctor Gold goes to prison?
America's Front Line Doctors shared this week:
An Eagle Is Caged: AFLDS Founder Dr. Simone Gold Surrenders to Serve Sentence
Miami, FL – July 26, 2022
The fearless founder of AFLDS, Dr. Simone Gold, has been sentenced to 60 days in prison. It is shocking to learn that any Judge in the United States of America would sentence any person to any prison time for misdemeanor trespass. We've never heard of such a thing. That we live in a two-tiered system of justice: exonerating, acquitting, failing to charge, dropping charges, or giving trivial sentences to persons of one political class while locking up persons of another political class – is indisputable. Steve Colbert crew? Charges dropped. Ilhan Omar just arrested? Watch those charges get dropped. Night of Rage? Outside Brett Kavanaugh's home? Antifa? BLM? Not arrested, not charged, or charges dropped.
Today, Dr. Gold has surrendered herself to the government and will spend the next 60 days of her life locked inside of a cell for exercising her right to free speech inside of the Capitol building, which she was let into with open doors. Dr. Gold is valiantly standing in front of the medical freedom movement for We The People. While most of us cannot fathom what it would be like to be stripped of daily luxuries and jailed for a first-time, misdemeanor offense, this is Dr. Gold's reality due to selective prosecution. Dr. Gold has vowed to come out the other side of her imprisonment an even more fierce warrior for our freedom.
America is upside down with good and courageous people like Dr. Simone in prison and violent criminals being set free in US cities.

Something waits beneath the surface of your life. If you listen, if you're quiet, you can hear her breathing. Stretching out, reaching forth. Change. It is coming. Peeking up from beneath the soil, a tender green shoot of possibility and promise, waiting to be nurtured. Do you have room for new growth? Are you able to water and tend to your dreams? Are you able to let light shine upon them? What in your life may be withering from neglect? What has attempted to sprout, but has been cut down, or uprooted, or malnourished?
–Molly Remer, Womanrunes
Imbolc, or Brigid's Day, brings a reflective pause. Time to sit with your dreams. Time to look at the "seeds" of possibility in your hands and decide what you are going to plant. What needs some time in the deep, dark earth in order to grow? What are you incubating within your own deepness? In honor of this time of year, we created a special card layout themed around the The Seed rune. You can use any of your cards with it, but it works very well with Womanrunes. We have a full page worksheet for it and then the same layout on a half-size worksheet (for tucking into your journal).
May you enjoy a peaceful pause for contemplation today!
We're celebrating Brigid's Day and our Business Birthday with an all day Customer Love event today: giveaways via Facebook and Instagram + a Brigid's Day ritual kit in your email as well as 20% off in our shop with code BRIGID and a 99c deal on our original Ritual Recipe Kit ebook.
Membership in the Creative Spirit Circle is FREE and packed with beautiful, bountiful resources, including a free Womanrunes e-course, Womanspirit Wisdom mini-course, weekly virtual circles in our Facebook group, Red Tent resources, blessing posters and mandalas, access to Divine Imperfections sculptures at 50% off, and your monthly Creative Spirit Circle Journal filled with resources such as ceremony outlines, book recommendations, articles, sneak peeks, and special freebies.

"Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us?" (Lk 24:32). The disciples of Emmaus, who recognise the Risen Christ upon his breaking of the bread, are shaken into realising that something has changed! Their foolishness, their slowness to believe all that the prophets have said (cfr. Lk 24:25) is suddenly overturned upon their encounter with Christ, who makes everything new, beginning with our very existence. And our slow "heart", weary and shrivelled, devoid of hope, closed off in the worldly context of a futureless present, suddenly begins to "burn" within us, in that unexpected correspondence bestowed upon us by the encounter with Christ, which is the authentic motor of any and every vocation.
Finding themselves in the presence of the Risen Christ changes the very definition of the existence of the disciples of Emmaus who, having left Jerusalem in mournful nostalgia for a liberation that never came, now retrace their steps with the joyous announcement of their recent encounter. They are entirely transformed; their identity - and therefore the very direction of their journey - has changed in relation to Christ.
So my dear Seminarians and Novices, the priestly identity that you are preparing to receive from the Holy Spirit, through the indispensable agency of the Church, holds the secret of your future, of your every happiness. At one and the same time it is both institutional and charismatic. I say institutional because in fact it passes through the laying on of hands of the Bishop, in the uninterrupted Apostolic Succession, which permits us to trace our heritage back to The Twelve.

Henry and James Doulton purchased an interest in Pinder, Bourne & Co., in 1877. In 1882 the business was reconstituted under the name Doulton & Co., Burslem. The business was incorporated in 1899 as Doulton & Co. and Doulton was granted a Royal Warrant and right to use 'Royal' in the name of its products by King Edward VII in 1901.
This lovely English Castles transfer polychrome plate, circa 1900-1920, is decorated with an English countryside scene in the center, consisting of a building and tree lined canal with families enjoying a boat outing. The wide border is composed of a continuous scroll and floral motif. Colors of deep red and green are applied over the under-glaze transfer motif to highlight the scroll and floral border and family boats. The plate measures 10 1/2" across and is stamped in brown with the Royal Doulton mark, circa 1902-1922. It is also faintly impressed "Doulton Burslem England", the pattern number D2950 as well as several other markings. There are no cracks, chips or repairs. Great decorator cabinet plate.

Cedarbrook's Golf Course…Touched by a Legend
Cedarbrook Country Club was designed by one of North Carolina's most noted golf architects. Ellis Maples, who studied under Donald Ross and whose family has perhaps the deepest roots in North Carolina golf, sculpted Cedarbrook out of the rolling countryside, thick forests, and sparkling lakes. The result was another Maples classic.
The course offers a unique and thrilling test each and every time you tee it up. From the front nine's majestic, undulating greens to the back nine's requirement of shotmaking precision, Cedarbrook continues to withstand the test of time. No matter your ability, Cedarbrook has a different challenge for everyone with its four sets of tees and a variety of course setups. One thing is certain…you will always enjoy your rounds of golf here.

The COVID-19 Pandemic: Education is remote, but the Colorado School of Public Health is notSep 15, 2020
The fall semester has launched, but with remote instruction. We remain a school and a community, not a collection of online courses. I empathize with our students who are new to the school and who cannot meet their classmates and instructors face-to-face. But, each program has taken steps to facilitate opportunities to meet and engage. These steps can work.
I first learned about remote- or distance-based instruction, as originally termed, while I was at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, chairing the Department of Epidemiology. I was skeptical. In the late 1990s, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the school implemented a training program for CDC staff that began with an on-campus introduction that was followed by distance-based courses. As the course evolved, I participated as an instructor, recording asynchronous lectures in a suffocating, black foam recording booth. I remained skeptical, convinced that my droning lectures were recorded while I slept. To my surprise, the program was well-received, including my somnambulist lectures, and continued, becoming the start for the pioneering remote MPH degree offered by Johns Hopkins.
Some years later, I participated in a team developing a remotely taught public health course for the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Working with a PAHO colleague, we put together a regionally tailored, introductory epidemiology course in Spanish. The course participants, who came from throughout Latin America, had an initial in-person meeting and then spent a year apart, taking distance classes and working together remotely on projects. At the program's end, they again met in-person and presented their findings. Inevitably, I was impressed by the bonding and relationships that had developed over the year. They had become colleagues and friends. I am anticipating the same for the students of the Colorado School of Public Health.
This week, we kick off the Dean's Speaker Series — a set of four presentations by public health leaders that will address topics relevant to all. The lead-off presentation by Johns Hopkins Dean Emeritus, Alfred Sommer, MD, MHS, is also the inaugural Richard Hamman Lecture, an endowed lecture named for our founding dean. Al was the dean at Hopkins for most of my 14 years as chair of Epidemiology. He transformed the school and academic public health, including expanding the scope of the (then) Association of Schools of Public Health. His seminal contribution to global health was the discovery that a small dose of vitamin A dramatically improved childhood survival: a discovery acknowledged by major awards in public health and medicine — the Albert Lasker Clinical Medicine Research Award, the Fries Prize for Improving Health, the Prince Mahidol Award, the Dan David Prize, and more. Al is a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.
His talk, "The Public's Health: Past, Present, and Future?", is this Wednesday, September 16, at noon. Students will have the additional opportunity to meet Al in a small group setting on September 23, from 12-1 p.m. The session is planned as a conversation based around his book: Ten Lessons in Public Health: Inspiration for Tomorrow's Leaders. There are 25 slots and 25 books available. This is an opportunity to meet a global leader — don't miss it! Students can register for this session here.
The next three speakers in the Dean's Speaker Series are also not to be missed:
October 21, 2020
"Racism is a Public Health Crisis: Opportunities and Challenges for Schools of Public Health"
Cheryl Anderson, MS, PhD, MPH
Professor and Dean
University of California San Diego
Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity
November 18, 2020
"Real-time Analysis of COVID-19: Epidemiology, Statistics and Modeling in Action"
Christl Donnelly, CBE, FRS, FMedSci
Deputy Head of Department, Professor of Applied Statistics
University of Oxford
December 16, 2020
"Revisiting our strategies in road safety: Looking forward to the second Decade of Action"
Maria Segui-Gomez, MD, MPH, MSc, ScD
Adjunct Associate Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Looking beyond the school, last week was concerning for public health: unprecedented wildfires continued to burn across the West Coast, blanketing the region with dangerous levels of air pollution; schools, colleges, and universities opened with mixed results; and politics and the pandemic continued to collide. Colorado's epidemic curve stays flat, but its future course will reflect the consequences of the threats posed by the opening of educational institutions, a return to closed indoor environments with colder weather, and the extent to which Coloradans remain adherent to social distancing measures. The state stands at a tragic landmark—nearing 2,000 deaths from COVID-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci has told us to "hunker down" for the fall and winter. He is probably correct.

Customer Case: Farrer & Co. London
The name Farrer & Co is synonymous with the highest quality legal advice and service. From
their offices in London, they work with trusted professionals around the world to deliver a
seamless international service.
The Challenge
Having previously used a fixed desk phone system in their offices, Farrer & Co wanted to update to fit the needs of an increasingly hybrid and dispersed workforce. With offices spread across three buildings in Central London, along with staff working remotely around the UK, Farrer & Co needed to ensure that client communications were clear and secure, no matter where their team might be working from.
The Solution
Based on the layout of the Farrer & Co offices, along with their need for portability outside the office, EPOS' reseller partner, CCS Media, recommended the IMPACT SDW 5011 model, a 3-in-1 wireless DECT headset. The complementary EPOS Manager software makes it easy for Farrer & Co to securely control and update all their headsets for their hybrid workforce.
Personal Support in Finding the Right Solution
Farrer & Co were not quite sure what to look for in a wireless headset. For support, they contacted CCS Media, their preferred IT hardware partner. Within a few days, Jo at CCS Media had arranged a meeting with EPOS to talk through options with
Paul Lovegrove, Head of IT Systems and Andy Beech, IT Director. After gaining an understanding of a typical working day at Farrer & Co, including the number of devices on each floor, it was clear that a DECT headset would be the best solution.
EPOS suggested a few models and sent some units for Farrer to evaluate. After a short trial period, Farrer chose the IMPACT SDW 5011 DECT headsets. Like all DECT headsets from EPOS, the IMPACT SDW 5011 model allows for portability both in
terms of travelling to and from the office and moving around the office as it pairs easily to a PC/softphone, desk and mobile phone. Offering super wideband audio, exceptional performance and a unique noise-cancelling system, this headset was
perfectly suited for Farrer's hybrid work model.
A Smooth Implementation for a Remote Team
Jo Horrocks, Senior Account Manager at CCS Media, was instrumental in positioning the EPOS headsets and managing the relationship with Farrer & Co. Jo and EPOS worked together to ensure that the devices were delivered within six weeks to 450 individual addresses across the UK. Once on-site, Farrer found the headsets easy to setup and implement, thanks in part to a customised user guide specifically tailored for them which was put together by Jo at CCS Media and the team at EPOS. This meant less of the IT's time was spent dealing with end user issues and the roll out could meet the deadlines required.
The technical support team at EPOS also proved invaluable. They assisted quickly and seamlessly as part of the overall team which meant the end user's time wasn't hindered or compromised. Additionally, Farrer have the support from the complementary EPOS Manager software providing their IT manager with a complete overview of all deployed devices and access to new updates and settings.
Paul Lovegrove has heard only positive feedback from colleagues.
"The qualities of the headset that particularly stand out are the crystal-clear sound and the distance that they can roam. The fact that background noise is completely cancelled out has been especially appreciated when working from home."

Detoxing after years of alcohol abuse can be gravely dangerous. Side effects can be deadly. Thankfully, with medical supervision and residential care at Ventura Recovery Center, medical symptoms can be drastically reduced for a smooth transition into a sober and peaceful way of life.
The goal of a medically supervised alcohol detox is to give the body the time needed to restore its normal functions.
Knowing your alcohol detox options can be confusing. We can answer any questions.
Habitual drinking has a negative effect on the body's ability to moderate the production on dopamine, and eventually leads the brain to expect the artificially high levels that result from alcohol consumption, and reduce the amounts naturally occurring in the brain.
Our Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox Program offers time for the body and mind heal and renew while providing medications for comfort and rest.
As a person drinks more and more on a regular basis, the brain and the body become increasingly accustomed to the effects of alcohol. Often people state that their tolerance has increased, and that is exactly what has happened. The body grows to expect the artificial changes caused by alcohol, and when it is not present displays withdrawal symptoms. Without medical attention, these symptoms can range from a simple hang-over to delirium tremors (DTs). In some extreme cases DTs can lead to death.
Comprehensive Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox removes many of these dangers and makes the detoxification process much safer and more comfortable.
Please fill out our contact form, and we will call you as soon as possible.
If you or a loved one need drug addiction rehabilitation,
Please call now. We want to help you.
With medically supervised alcohol detoxification treatment, medications are given to reduce the shock that the body experiences as it works to moderate the artificial levels of dopamine it has come to expect. These medications are provided to avoid seizures, body aches, shakiness, insomnia, hot flashes, cold flashes and vomiting that occur when someone detoxes on their own. It is important that a client be monitored during the process by a qualified professional to make any adjustments needed to ensure a client gets properly detoxed and the body does not have any negative reactions to the absence of alcohol.
The Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox Program at Ventura Recovery Center is accredited by the Joint Commission. JCAHO Accreditation means that we follow the guidelines that ensure treatment is of the highest quality.
The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help, they have no hope.
Russell Brand
Alcohol and the brain
When you start to drink alcohol, dopamine levels in the brain rise. The feeling of ease and comfort accompanies that first drink. A lighter disposition, more self-assurance, and less inhibitions are all correlated with alcohol consumption. The ease and comfort also start to go away as the body burns off the alcohol in the system.
Drinking alcohol is common among all US Adults at some point in their lives. According to the NIAAA, nine out of ten adults have consumed alcohol at some point in time . The difference between alcohol and similarly addictive substances is that it is available for sale to anyone over 21 years of age.
Who is affected?
Alcohol consumption is not an issue for many people and they are able to consume it on a regular basis without negative consequences. Studies published by institutions like Mayo Clinic cite possible health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. Moderate consumption is considered to be no more than 2 drinks a day for men and one for women.
Binge Drinking
Binge drinking (more than 4 to 5 drinks per hour) and heavy drinking (more than 7 a week) can be signs that a person has a problem with alcohol.
What are some statistics about alcohol abuse?
The NIAAA provides the following statistics on alcohol consumption:
- Up to 16.6 million people in the US are dealing with an AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder)
- Around 30% of Emergency Room Visits are a direct result of alcohol consumption-International Business Times
- Excessive alcohol consumption is the cause of death for 10% of the deaths of people between the ages from 20-64 years of age
- Deaths linked to alcohol account for almost 100,000 death in the US every year
6-10 hours after the last drink
Symptoms May Include:
- Anxiety
- Trouble sleeping
- Vomiting
- Cramps
1-3 days after the last drink
Symptoms May Include:
- Increased Blood Pressure
- Sweating
- Inability to think clearly
- Heart Rate Fluctuations
About 3 days after the last drink
Symptoms May Include:
- Hallucinations
- Fever
- Seizure
- Agitation
Symptoms usually start to subside after five to seven days.
I love this place. I have tried to get sober so many times in the past, but it just never worked. They really care about every person in the program and help you with tools you need to stay sober once you start to feel like you are alive again. I do not know what I would have done if I would not have found this place. Thank GOD for VRC!

What happens after the initial alcohol detox?
Once the body starts to recover the next goal of the staff at Ventura Recovery Center is to begin to work on the other issues related to alcoholism. Our team of professionals will spend time uncovering underlying mental and emotional issues related to alcoholism. This strategy usually includes a combination of medication and therapy to help ease the feelings of depression and anxiety. Therapy is in a group setting and one on one during the entire time a client is part of Ventura Recovery Center.
A medically supervised alcohol detox program can provide the most comprehensive and supportive environment during all stages of alcohol withdrawal and detox.
Levels of Medically Supervised Alcohol Detox
Withdrawal looks different for each person, but can be loosely group into three different levels of intensity, These symptoms are greatly reduced when you are under the care of medical professionals when you are detoxing from alcohol.
Level 1: Worry, sleeplessness, queasiness, no appetite, tired, shaky, depression, poor decision making, moody, and irregular heartbeat.
Level 2: Heightened blood pressure, fever and trouble breathing, muddled thinking, sweating, touchy and irritable.
Level 3: Delusions, malaise, seizures, critical misunderstanding, delirium tremors and nervousness
Is Alcohol Detox The Same For Everybody?
There are many factors that can determine how withdrawal effects each individual: how long have they been drinking, how much did they drink, are there any co-occurring disorders, genetics, juvenile distress, and overall level of anxiety. The severity of withdrawal can also be impacted when combined with other legal and illegal drugs. Extreme alcohol can lead to a difficult detox, and should only be done with medical supervision. Detoxing can be dangerous.
What are the "DT's?" Will I get them?
A small percentage of people experience delirium tremens (DTs). About 3% to 5% of alcohol users get DTs when withdrawing. DTs can result in death without medical treatment.
The onset of DTs can ensue one to two days after alcohol is no longer present in the body. They can happen unexpectedly, and can be fatal. It is imperative that any detox from chronic alcohol use is done under the care of a doctor, and not attempted at home. Monitoring the body's reaction to withdrawal symptoms throughout the detox process is a requirement to ensure safety when detoxing.
The brain and central nervous system are impacted during detox, and if not done correctly, withdrawal can be fatal. Alcohol is a depressant, and its sudden absence can cause the body to have an extreme negative reaction that can result in death in extreme cases.
Malnutrition is also a side effect of extreme alcohol consumption. Meeting with a dietitian can help by designing a diet packed with the correct nutritional supplements to lessen the discomfort of detox. Alcohol also disrupts sleep patterns. By getting back on a regular sleep schedule, the body and the brain both have time to recover.
These symptoms sound very frightening. Perhaps it is the fear of these symptoms that keep people from getting help. They think they cannot handle the withdrawal symptoms. Please remember, if you are in inpatient alcohol treatment that has medical alcohol detox, very few of these symptoms will occur. There is nothing to be afraid of. Alcohol withdrawal can be far easier with proper treatment.
Every worthy act is difficult. Ascent is always difficult. Descent is easy and often slippery.
