Rain, rain go away. That's what people say anyway. You come into work and the small talk with colleagues goes something like "oh isn't it just miserable outside" or "this weather is terrible, bring on the sunshine". For me though, I have absolutely no problem with the rain. I don't even mind the grey cloud... Continue Reading →

Post-ebruary #6: Why blog?
Writing on the internet. Not something I saw myself doing, not something I particularly aspired to do but here we are. I don't know why I decided to start blogging, but I think thats why I'm writing this post. There's something about blogging that I just can't get enough of. I love the therapeutic nature...

Post-ebuary: I'm going to post everyday in February.
Here's the idea. I have become incredibly slack on my posts. I've even started writing on a few occasions, only to get distracted with another activity then not finish the post. This is not okay. One thing worst than not doing anything at all is to start something but not finish it. I delivered a... Continue Reading →
Its been a whole week.
A whole week?! Yes, a whole bloody week with no blog post. That's one of the longest times I've gone without posting, and I don't feel good about it I must admit. My excuse? I don't really have one. Again, I've been prioritising other activities but if I'm honest, I've just gotten lazy. I'm back... Continue Reading →

My idea for Season 3.
I don't know what happened, but this week has just felt difficult.

Illegal dumpers accused of ruining beauty spot
Westmeath residents want action after an increase in littering in north of the county
Litter on the banks of Lough Sheelin, Co Westmeath.
For the last eight years Michael Farrell has been bringing anglers out on Lough Sheelin.
He used to start his tours from Sailor's Garden, a well-known beauty spot on the Co Westmeath side of the lake.
However, in the last year he has moved location after illegal dumpers regularly started taking advantage of the secluded area.
"It looks awful. I don't know if it would put them off fishing but it's not nice. I bring guys out from Finea instead, up the river.
"It increases my costs as it uses more petrol and is more time-consuming. At the end of the day I am working on very tight margins, and this doesn't help."
Farrell , who first raised the issue of illegal dumping on the shores of the lake with local paper the Westmeath Examiner 12 months ago, says incidents of illegal dumping have worsened over the last two years.
"I'd say they [the illegal dumpers] are not coming very far. I don't know who it is, but in all fairness people probably don't drive miles and miles to do it."
Cllr Una D'Arcy, a member of Westmeath County Council who lives in the village of Fore about 10 miles from Lough Sheelin, says there has been a marked increase in littering in north Westmeath in recent years.
Public money
"Civic amenity centres are not expensive. In actual fact, a lot of the stuff that is being dumped would be accepted for free . . . Public money is used to fund these amenity centres and further public funds are used bringing people to court."
She says most people that engage in illegal dumping are "smart enough" to ensure there is little or no incriminating evidence left in their rubbish.
Due to the high level of proof needed and the costs associated with bringing a case against a suspect illegal dumper, many local authorities are reluctant to use their limited resources chasing what are often lost causes.
In 2015, Westmeath County Council brought 15 people to court in connection with illegal dumping and none were convicted.
Westmeath is one of a growing number of local authorities that have started using mobile CCTV in a bid to deter people from illegal dumping.
The current penalties for illegal dumping range from €150 for an on-the-spot fine to €3,000 if you are convicted in a District Court.
Named and shamed
However, the executive recently informed them that due to data protection concerns this would not be possible
In neighbouring Co Longford, Cllr Gerry Warnock tabled a motion at the council's December meeting calling on the Minister for the Environment Denis Naughten to consider establishing a "domestic waste disposal inspectorate".
This would see an inspector going to people's homes, much like a TV licence inspector, to seek proof that they were disposing legally of household refuse.
"The deterrent is not there, and enforcement of legislation is certainly not there," says Mr Warnock.
"When it comes to local authority prosecutions they don't seem to be interested. There doesn't seem to be the same sort of seriousness or application of the law like there would be for an organisation such as Revenue.
"If you don't pay your VAT or whatever tax, nine out of 10 times they will come down full fury on top of you."

New student organization makes UMD feel like home
Student organizations are a great way to make connections with other students on campus. One UMD student is launching an organization unlike any other social clubs on campus: A mentorship organization that allows students to help each other.
Second year student Naseem Farahid has been working on developing the new organization, which will be called Accepting You - The Hearth Guild.
"This organization is meant to be the warm home for all UMD students," Farahid said. "We want to offer students the ability to feel the family here at UMD and network, as well as offer them the connections and resources they need to succeed in college and life."
Accepting You recognizes that students may still have questions and need more help getting settled even after first-year programming like orientation and Bulldog Welcome Week.
"I know how much UMD has given me, like allowing me to be in the major that I truly love and meeting people who I consider to be more than friends—like family—so I want to share the amazing environment that UMD is and share it with incoming freshmen," Farahid said.
The organization involves students serving as mentors to other students, helping them in whatever subject areas they're knowledgeable about. For example, a mentor who knows a lot about physical fitness could have sessions teaching other students about weight-lifting.
"My hope is that [...] mentors get to know their groups on a personal level and to know that their students have at least one person to connect to at UMD," Farahid said.
Accepting You is still in the process of development, but will have a soft launch in Fall 2019.
"There is going to be tabling in the Garage and there are going to be posters around," Farahid said. "We hope to start our club, get registered [...] so we can have a spot in the activities fair in the fall. It's going to start a little small and get all of our resources in place and talk to other organizations."
The organization will work on a micro and macro level. There will be larger events that many students may attend as well as other one-on-one or small group sessions. There will be opportunities for mentors to bond and hang out, and there may be workshops that allow students to learn new skills.
Accepting You is looking for mentors for the organization.
"Right now [we're looking] for anyone who's interested and we encourage our mentors to be from different backgrounds and experiences," Farahid said. "I want people from different backgrounds and majors. We need both extroverts and introverts and your contribution could totally leave an impact on another person."
If students are interested in learning more about the organization or applying to be a mentor, they can contact Farahid at email@example.com. Student organizations are also encouraged to contact Farahid if they are interested in collaborating on future events.

Days of Our Lives Transcript Friday 5/17/19
Episode #13531 ~ JJ and Haley go on the run; Xander makes the moves on Sarah, and Nicole rips into Chloe.
Provided By Suzanne
Victor: [Groans] How the Hell did that happen?
Kate: Are you referring to the mess you made at Titan?
Victor: What the Hell are you talking about? What mess at Titan?Kate: Oh, come on. Don't pretend that you didn't hire your nephew xander to a high executive position.
Victor: I wouldn't put that neanderthal in charge of taking out the garbage.
Brady: It was me. I did it.
[Melancholy music]
[Easygoing guitar music]
Xander: Someone so gorgeous should not be eating alone.
Sarah: [Sighs] You stink.
Xander: Not a fan of my patchouli body spray?
Sarah: It's disgusting, but i was talking about you in general. Go away.
Xander: Oh, you're gonna want me to stick around when you hear my news.
Sarah: And I've lost my appetite.
Xander: My ship has come in, and I'm giving you permission to board.
Sarah: I'd rather drown.
Xander: Then I would simply dive overboard and rescue you. I'm happy to wait. Sooner or later, you're going to realize what a catch I am.
Sarah: How many times do i have to tell you that I'm engaged?
Xander: So? I'm married. I won't tell if you don'T.
Sarah: [Sighs]
[Disquieting music]
Stefan: The way you're staring at my father's portrait--holly used to do the same exact thing.
[Dramatic music]
Haley: Do you know what you just did?
Jj: Shoving tripp into that agent and getting you out of there was the most fun I've had in a long time.
Haley: I can't let you do this.
Jj: Okay, if we stand here and argue, they will catch up with us. Haley, they will deport you to china and I'll never see you again.
Haley: Okay.
[Melinda breathes raggedly]
Jennifer: Melinda?
[Disquieting music]
What are you doing?
Melinda: I'm going to jack deveraux's victory celebration to make sure that he and his lovely bride pay for what they did to haley.
Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the "days of our lives."
[Soft orchestration]
[Poignant music]
Stefan: Holly used to think that he was santa claus dressed up in regular clothes, and that he was always watching to see if she was being good or bad.
Nicole: I can't imagine anyone confusing that old bastard with santa claus, not even a small child.
Stefan: I haven't yet met the man.
Nicole: I have.
Stefan: How well do you know him?
Nicole: Let's just say we had a complicated relationship.
You know, the way you talk about holly, it sounds like you cared about her.
Stefan: Yeah, she was a beautiful little girl. She brought joy into the lives of everyone around her. I'm really glad you're here, nicole.
Nicole: Why?
Stefan: Because nobody loved holly more than you and chloe. You two need each other right now.
[Jaunty music]
Victor: I'm going to give you time to explain why you let that bloodsucking leech have permission to destroy our company. Then I'm going to double my blood pressure medication.
Brady: Kate, this is between me and the chairman of the board, please.
Kate: It's really unbelievable, but I think that you have set a new record for screwing things up. You should really think about putting me in charge before he destroys titan.
Brady: [Sighs] Are you two finished?
Victor: No, and I don't have to think about it. I have half a mind to just do it.
Sarah: Will you get out of here and leave me alone?
Xander: Talking's not really our event, is it? I feel that we bring the best out of each other when we keep it nonverbal. So, um... fancy another go?
Sarah: I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
Xander: Oh, be fair. Remember how much you loved it last time? You couldn't get enough of me!
[Energetic music]
Things are bad.
Eric: Come on, get up. Come on.
Xander: As much as I would love to stay and mop up the floor with you, eric, I have a rather important business meeting to attend, and I need to keep my focus. You'll, uh, come around eventually. They all do.
[Jaunty music]
Brady: I want to talk to my grandfather alone.
Kate: You do that. I have some phone calls to make, but I'm going to be close by in case you need my input.
Brady: Input this: Stay gone.
[Uneasy synth music]
Victor: Xander failed as a gardener. Couldn't spread manure without getting it all over himself. And you hired him as what?
Brady: Granddad, I offered him an executive position under certain conditions.
Victor: What conditions?
Brady: [Sighs] That he hand over the recording of nicole's confession. Granddad, she just lost her daughter. I'm not gonna see her go to prison for murdering a scum like deimos.
Victor: There must have been some other way to make that deal.
Brady: I offered him an executive position under me. When he showed up, he wanted-- he wanted my job, granddad.
Victor: Well, you should've just thrown him out.
Brady: You know, when titan was on the skids and you begged me to come back as ceo, you agreed that you would not question my handling of the company.
Victor: I don't remember agreeing to any such thing.
Brady: I do, and you need to back off and let me handle this my way.
Stefan: Uh, I'm gonna give you two some space.
[Tense synth music]
Chloe: Nicole... I don't even have the words to tell you how sorry I am.
Nicole: I just came from the funeral home, and they showed me the clothes that you sent for holly to be buried in. Do you really think some pretty little dress is gonna make up for getting my daughter murdered?
Haley: We're safe here?
Jj: There weren't any security cameras in the lobby, and I paid cash up front so the desk clerk wouldn't ask for id.
Haley: It's really good to be with an ex-cop when you're on the run from the cops, but what you did when you got me away from that ice agent-- my god, jj, you broke a lot of laws.
Jj: Yeah, and I'd do it again.
Haley: I am not letting you go to jail because of me. Okay? I don't want anybody who's tried to help me--I don't want this to come back on any of them, and jj, why do-- why do you think I told press that I talked tripp into marrying me?
Jj: Maybe we're not in as much trouble as we think we are.
Haley: Well, we better turn on this tv and find out.
[News fanfare]
Anchor: Let's get up to speed on the top stories. Today is the one-year anniversary of the terrorist bombings...
Jennifer: Melinda, i understand that--that you are furious, and you must--
Melinda: I am more than furious, damn it! Jack and eve made an issue out of haley to win an election, and now they're going to have to answer to me.
Jennifer: Okay, and i understand that--that you want to scare them, and I'm so mad that this is happening to your sister.
Melinda: She is not my sister!
Jennifer: What do you mean?
Melinda: She is my daughter, and I want to do more than just scare them. I want them both dead. (Announcer) do you push through migraine?
Anchor: All these promises--
Jj: I can't believe it.
Haley: Neither can I.
Jj: How could my dad have won that election?
Haley: He was probably voted in by all the people who wanted me deported.
Jj: Sons of bitches, and my father the biggest one of them all. H--I'm--I'm being selfish.
Haley: How?
Jj: I made the decision to run tonight, and it's your life. I--but haley, you worked so damn hard to get that life, and it made me sick to see it stolen from you by my father and his idiot followers. When that agent started to take you away, I, um... I lost it. I'm sorry.
Haley: No. No, don't be. Don't be sorry. Do you know how lucky I feel to have you in my corner?
[Poignant music]
Jj: What? What? What?
Haley: Oh, I just... now that we're here, and it's quiet, it just hit me again. Melinda's not my sister. She's my mom.
Jennifer: My gosh, you must be aching to tell this story, but why don't you put the gun away and just talk to me? Please.
[Melancholy music]
Melinda: I was raised to strive for perfection, and the way to get there was through a sense of shame.
Jennifer: Yeah. I know that shame can be very destructive.
Melinda: Not where I come from. It's what molds you. I was 17 when I got pregnant, and I knew that I had dishonored my family and myself. My father was not supportive or helpful. He threatened to throw me out, but my mother lied for me. She made an announcement that she was pregnant, so my father had no choice but to accept the news. I went away when it came time to give birth, and then I handed my baby daughter to my mother, and I left the country.
Jennifer: I can't even imagine how painful that was for you.
Melinda: I had too much shame for abandoning her, so I just sh--I shut it down, and I just kept my distance, and I watched as she got her-- her job at the hospital, her first job, and as she became a respected member of the staff.
Jennifer: Yes, and she has built such a fine life for herself, melinda.
Melinda: Until jack and eve ruined it all. I have dishonored myself. My career is over, and I have nothing left to lose, so I'm gonna start acting like a real mother. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to help my daughter.
Chloe: I loved holly. I did everything I could to protect her and help her grow up happy and strong.
Nicole: Yeah, well, maybe you should've helped her stay alive. You could have taken her out of this hellhole and put her somewhere safe.
Chloe: I thought this w--
Nicole: Well, you thought what? That you could put on a push-up bra, look helpless, and land stefan dimera, and you used my daughter as part of your plan?
Chloe: That's not true!
Nicole: Well, holly doesn't need your help anymore. She's beyond help because of you. Thanks for nothing.
Chloe: [Cries]
Eric: You okay?
Sarah: You don't have to come to my rescue. Besides, I'm the one that brought this on myself.
Eric: No, not your fault.
Sarah: [Laughs] Why not? I'm the one that slept with the guy.
Eric: Yeah, well, we all do things that we regret.
Sarah: I regret going and talking to nicole after you told me not to. I just made everything worse.
Eric: Couldn't be any worse.
Sarah: I really did think that I could help. I really thought I could make her understand how much that you loved holly, but instead, I... ended up giving her the impression that there's something going on between you and me, which is ridiculous.
Xander: Where's my contract?
Brady: [Sighs]
[Uneasy drum music]
Xander: What's this?
Brady: Oh, um, that portion is, uh, divorce papers.
Xander: Excuse me?
Brady: Xander, in exchange for guaranteed employment at the stated terms, with your perks and all your salary, you're not only gonna hand over the recording of nicole's confession, you will also end your marriage with her.
Xander: Oh, darling. I'm so glad you're here, because it'll save me from saying this twice: There's no bloody way I'm ever letting go of her.
Kate: [Zips purse] Is brady gone?
Victor: Right.
Kate: Did he give you a reason for hiring xander?
Victor: Yeah.
Kate: Well, this should be interesting, since I cannot come up with one single rationale why you would ever let that particular fox into this particular henhouse.
Brady: Do you want the job or not?
Xander: You changed the terms.
Brady: I'm giving you everything you want, xander. You want to get back into victor's good graces, you want to prove that you're valuable to the company. All I ask in return is the recording and that you end your marriage to nicole, and I am not budging on that. Okay?
Xander: Try not to take this personally, love, but business is business, and we'll always have nashville.
Brady: Oh, oh, oh. Hold on, hold on. I'm going to need that recording.
Xander: Of course.
Brady: Yeah, yeah. I trust that this is the only recording, right? There's no copies lying around?
Xander: This is the one and only.
Brady: Okay, good. 'Cause it would be pretty stupid to lie to me at this point. Remember, I'm your only connection. If you cross me on this, I will fix it so you never get into the company or the family, even if you come crawling on your knees.
Xander: Oh, I would never even think of crossing you, the bloke who made the recording that got me everything that i want, including a suite at the kiriakis mansion, right?
Brady: Sure. Whatever you want.
Victor: You'll make it happen.
Brady: I will make it happen.
Xander: Excellent.
[Melancholy music]
Brady: [Breathes deeply] I will destroy this as soon as i get it home.
Nicole: Brady. Would you mind if I did that myself? I have been under that animal's thumb for way too long.
Brady: Because of me. Here.
Nicole: No, brady, not because of you. Now look, that's all in the past. You looked after holly, and now you're looking after me in the worst time of my life. I mean, I can't believe I was so stupid, to--to want eric. Brady, you have always been the only one I could ever count on.
[Disquieting guitar music]
Haley: All these years, I've been panicking about losing my future, and now, how am i supposed to deal with the idea that my--my past was all a lie?
Jj: I'm so sorry, haley.
Haley: My--my sister is my mother, my mom is my grandma, and I don't even know who my dad is. [Sighs]
Jj: All I can think of to say is that your grandmother and grandfather must've really loved you.
Haley: Part of me feels so blown away by all of this, and yet another part of me feels like... everything is starting to come together. I mean, knowing who you are is knowing where you came from.
Jj: It's no wonder melinda was so weird about you.
Haley: Just the way she-- the way she acted, I felt like she hated me. Jj, how can i accept her as my mother?
[Dramatic music]
Melinda: I'm tired of talking. I have to get to that party.
Jennifer: Melinda, please. I'm begging you, please don't do this!
Melinda: I have had to stand by and watch as jack and eve ruined my child's life! You don't know what that's like. You have always been there to stand up for your children. For once, I'm gonna do that for my daughter.
Jennifer: Okay, but do you think that killing jack and eve is standing up for haley? My gosh, you're a lawyer. You have the skills to help her fight this battle!
Melinda: That could take years. I couldn't stop the hateful people of this town from voting for your disgusting ex-husband, but I can make sure that he never gets sworn in.
[Tender music]
Haley: I just put something together. When I was about eight, I found this--this beautiful hand-knitted baby blanket. It was hidden in the back of a closet, and... I figured that my mom must have made it for me, and put it away when I got too old for it, but... I took that thing out all the time, just to hold it, wrap myself in it whenever I was scared or unhappy. Then one day, I heard my mother... I heard my grandmother... say that she was sorry that she never learned how to knit.
Jj: Do you think melinda must have made it?
Haley: I found other baby blankets in her apartment when I was staying with her. When I asked her about it, she said that knitting was something that she did to relax, and I--I said okay, sounded good to me.
Jj: She must have sent that blanket for you, or left it behind.
Haley: I was a lonely kid, but every time I had that blanket, I felt like-- like I wasn't alone.
I wonder if maybe I was feeling this connection I-- that I didn't even know existed.
Jennifer: Melinda, you told haley tonight that you were her mother, and now you want to go shoot jack and eve in a room full of people?
Melinda: I owe that to haley.
Jennifer: No, but do you really think that's going to make up for all the years that you didn't do anything for her? Yes, you will get revenge, but haley will still be deported.
Melinda: So what, I'm not supposed to do anything?
Jennifer: No, I didn't say that. I understand that you hate jack and eve, but they are not the ones who hurt haley the most.
Melinda: Then who has?
Jennifer: You have. I'm just saying that it would just be good for you to just accept that and-- and move forward and just try to be different.
Stefan: What happened? Where's nicole?
[Tender reed and string music]
Chloe: [Cries]
Nicole: Um...
[Clears throat] I have to go.
Eric: Could we just talk?
Nicole: I've already said everything I need to say to you.
Eric: If you just--just give me a chance, maybe I could--
Nicole: To what? Make me understand why you gave my daughter to a woman who was targeted by a drug cartel? No, I--I understand. You were busy. Now I see you have a new girlfriend.
Sarah: No, that's-- that's just not true. I'm marrying rex, and eric never stopped loving you.
Nicole: Really? Then why didn't he do what i asked him to do? Why didn't he convince chloe to let him raise my daughter? And now holly is dead. So could you please just have the decency to leave me alone and let me live my life?
[Melancholy music]
Thank you for everything that you've done.
Victor: Well, we could spend all night listing reasons why xander shouldn't have this job. Not gonna change anything. I told brady he could hire whoever he wanted to. He hired xander.
Kate: Well, you could question brady's competence.
Victor: That's not the answer. The time being, we're stuck with this worthless maggot.
Xander: Why do I get the impression it's me you're talking about with such affection?
Kate: How did you get in? I'm going to call security.
Xander: Oh, no. I'm on their list now.
Kate: Don't give me that.
Xander: Oh, you might want to check out our company's updated flowchart. You'll see that i don't actually report to you. I answer to the ceo and the chairman of the board, and that's it. I know I've been a disappointment to you, uncle.
Victor: That's putting it mildly.
Xander: Of course, you're not impressed that i negotiated with brady to secure this fine position, or that i moved from the gardening shed to an executive suite, but I'm not gonna stop there. I'm going to make you see that i can be a better ceo than brady ever dreamed of being.
[Tense music]
Victor: Would you be so kind as to fetch me my gun?
[Moody music]
Melinda: I just did what i thought I had to do.
Jennifer: Yeah. I mean, you just-- you didn't have to be cold and--and distant. You could have acknowledged her and then maybe helped her come here legally.
Melinda: I paid for her school. I gave her a place to live.
Jennifer: Yes, you did, but when it came out that she was illegal, you asked her to move out.
Melinda: I thought if I was mayor, then maybe I...
Jennifer: I know, but she's your daughter, and you were denying her a place to live.
Melinda: Do you think that was easy?
Jennifer: No, no. I just think that--that maybe all of this has hardened your heart, and it's taken a toll on you, but really, I think that it's hurt haley the most, and she needs you right now. You need to put her needs before your own.
Melinda: I know I should've told the truth. I haven't been a mother at all.
Jennifer: You can be one now, melinda.
Melinda: How?
Jennifer: You can start by-- by just giving me that gun, okay?
Jj: Two of us are quite a pair. I have a dad who can't remember me.
Haley: And I have a mom who tried to forget me. Why didn't she want to be my mom? I don't get it. All those years... we...
Jj: Hey, look at me. This is not about something you did. Look, I know for a fact that you were a beautiful, smart, completely amazing little girl.
Haley: You don't know that. Could've been a brat.
Jj: How can a brat grow up and become the beautiful, smart, completely amazing woman you are now?
[Tender music]
Stefan: Wow, I'm sorry nicole said those things to you. They're not true.
Chloe: Well, maybe i should've just done what victor wanted, let holly stay with brady at his house.
Stefan: No, no, no. Victor kiriakis is an ass. If you'd have done what he wanted, holly wouldn't have understood. She's too little. She would've thought that she lost her mom again. Hey.
Chloe: [Cries]
Stefan: She loved you so much. I'll never forget the sound of the two of you singing together.
Chloe: [Cries] She had such a beautiful little voice. Oh, my god. I felt so blessed to have her in our lives, and now, how could this have happened? Why did this happen to our sweet little angel? Oh, my... [Cries]
Eric: Nicole's right. I just got caught up in my own problems, and I bailed on my responsibility to holly.
Sarah: What were you supposed to do?
Eric: I was supposed to keep holly, just like nicole asked me to, and I could've backed you up when you tried to convince chloe to get out of the dimera house.
Brady: Eric, trust me. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Sarah: It's easier for nicole to be angry than accept this horrific loss.
Eric: Sarah, holly is dead! Her daughter is dead, and i can do nothing to make it right!
[Knock at door]
[Suspenseful music]
Nicole: What the hell are you doing here?
Xander: You've got your recording and your divorce. Won't you at least ask me in? Things are bad.
[Somber music]
Jennifer: Can you put the safety on, please?
Melinda: It's already on.
Jennifer: You did the right thing.
Melinda: Thank you for helping me. My question is, what do I do next? Ice is picking up haley right now.
Jennifer: You can be her lawyer.
Melinda: If I can find out where she is.
[Cell phone beeps]
Jennifer: This is my office. Jj and haley are on the run, and there's an apb out on them right now.
Haley: So what do we do? Not about my mom or your dad. They're hopeless.
Jj: I know. We'll worry about ice in the morning. Now you are here with me, and you're safe.
[Tender string music]
Stefan: Hey. I want to say something to you, and this may be the worst possible time, but... I had this hope that someday, you and I and holly and parker would be a family.
Chloe: You did?
Stefan: Yeah. Family'S... a thing that I never had, and I'm told that it meant everything to my father.
Chloe: [Sniffs]
Stefan: I still have that hope, chloe, and I want you to know that I will take care of you and parker as long as you allow it.
[Tender music]
Kate: What does xander have on brady? Because I know that's what this is all about.
Victor: I'm not at liberty to discuss that now. What i would like is for you to watch xander like a hawk.
Kate: Okay. I'll do that, but only if he loses the patchouli body spray.
Victor: Is that what that is? I thought a rodent had died in the wall.
Kate: [Suppressed laugh] I have to say, it'll make it easy to find him, because I'll just follow my nose.
Victor: [Chuckles]
Kate: But whatever you need, you can count on me.
Sarah: I'm really sorry. I don't know why I can't just keep my big mouth shut.
[Phone beeps]
[Melancholy music]
I gotta go. I'm sorry again.
Brady: Give nicole some time. She'll come around. At least she's free of xander.
Nicole: Ugh.
Xander: Mm.
Nicole: Wow. Finally made yourself useful.
Xander: What's all the champagne for, anyway, celebrating our divorce?
Nicole: Actually, I am celebrating... the fact that my plan went off without a hitch.
Xander: Mm. Well, it's good that I'm here, seeing as it's our plan. You couldn't have done any of this without me... partner.

John Jay - The First Chief Justice
New York Leader
John Jay of New York was educated at King's College (now Columbia) and began his career as a lawyer. In 1774 he joined the New York Committee of Correspondence and acted as its Secretary.
The same year, he attended the First Continental Congress. He helped write the Olive Branch Petition. At this convention Jay signed both the Continental Association and Declaration and Resolves. These documents outlined the colonists grievances and called for a boycott of all British goods until the problems were remedied.
By 1777, at the age of only 31, Jay was one of three men who drafted the Constitution of New York. In the same year he was elected Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court.
At the end of 1778 Jay returned to Philadelphia where he was elected President of the Continental Congress. He won this position over his rival Henry Laurens of South Carolina.
Foreign Minister
Jay was later sent as a Minister to Spain where he unsuccessfully attempted to get their recognition of the United States as a nation.
After three years he went to France as a Peace Commissioner. He, along with Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the American Revolution.
Upon returning to America, Jay spent five years serving as the Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the Congress of the Confederation.
When debates began over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, Jay was in strong support of federalization. He came to this decision based on his experience working for the Congress of the Confederation. His feelings were stated in his Address to the People of the Sate of New-York, on the Subject of the Federal Constitution.
To help support ratification, Jay joined Alexander Hamilton and James Madison as an author of The Federalist Papers. These letters were justification for the need of the stronger Constitution. Jay only wrote five of the articles, however, as he became sick and was confined to his bed during much of this time.
When George Washington became President, Jay served as acting Secretary of State until Thomas Jefferson arrived to take over the position.
Chief Justice
He was then confirmed to be the First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. His tenure on the Supreme Court was mostly notable for establishing the procedures of the Judicial System more than hearing cases, however, these are still the rules followed in the courts today.
The Jay Court's main contribution to the current government was that it established the principle of judicial review, meaning the courts could determine if laws passed by congress and actions of the president were constitutional. This decision truly gave the three branches of government equal power.
While still Chief Justice Jay was sent by Washington to represent the United States on a special diplomatic mission to Britain. Tensions were still high between the two countries and Jay's mission was to cool things down. This resulted in the Jay Treaty, managing to avoid war but leading to one of the first great divides in American Politics.
While still overseas as an ambassador and serving as Chief Justice Jay was elected Second Governor of New York. He resigned his seat in the Supreme Court to take this position, which speaks significantly on how even Federalists at the time had stronger attachment to their state than to the country as a whole.
Jay's most notable achievement as Governor of New York he oversaw the passing and implementation of the regulation outlawing slavery in the state. This was a cause he was passionate about throughout his life, have twice previously introducing bills to this effect and having been a founding member of the New York Manumission Society.
After six years a Governor, Jay would retire at the age of 55 to his home, 'The Locusts.' His contributions to the creation of the United States, the Supreme Court, the State Department and New York State are significant, though unfortunately, often overlooked. He should be known to all as one of the Great Revolutionaries due to his remarkable achievements and dedication to his country, as well as the respect he received from his peers.

Free Power Secrets
Climate is defined as the typical behavior of the atmosphere, the aggregation of the weather, and is generally expressed in terms of averages and variances of temperature, precipitation and other physical properties. The greenhouse effect, the ability of certain gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor to effectively trap some of the reemission of solar energy by the planet, is a necessary component to life on Earth; without the greenhouse effect the planet would be too cold to support life. However, human activities are increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide and several other greenhouse gases, resulting in concerns about warming of the Earth by 1-5°C over the next century (IPCC, 1996a). Recent increases in global averaged temperature over the last decade already appear to be outside the normal variability of temperature changes for the last thousand years. A number of different analyses strongly suggest that this temperature increase is resulting from the increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, thus lending credence to the concerns about much larger changes in climate being predicted for the coming decades. It is this evidence that led the international scientific community through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 1996a) to conclude, after a discussion of remaining uncertainties, "Nonetheless, the balance of the evidence suggests a human influence on global climate". More recent findings have further strengthened this conclusion. Computer-based models of the complex processes affecting the carbon cycle have implicated the burning of fossil fuels by an ever-increasing world population as a major factor in the past increase in concentrations of carbon dioxide. These models also suggest that, without major policy or technology changes, future concentrations of CO2 will continue to increase, largely as a result of fossil fuel burning. This chapter briefly reviews the state of the science of the concerns

If you're single and looking to mingle, common wisdom suggests you should head to a big city, embrace the nightlife, and start swiping right on your dating app of choice. However, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Love is in the air and it's everywhere! That's why we've crunched the numbers to determine the five best cities for singles in Australia.
Using data from Numbeo as well as the latest Census results, we analysed Australian cities based on the average price of a meal for two, the average price of coffee, the average price of a movie ticket, the average price of a gym membership, the average monthly rent for a one bedroom inner-city apartment, the average monthly income, and, most importantly, what percentage of the population is single. Using this data, we then determined the five best cities for singles in Australia.
So, without further ado:
#5. Cairns
Cairns is the best city for singles in Queensland, and it's easy to see why.
Firstly, according to 2016 Census data, 42.8% of people in Cairns are single, at an almost equal ratio: 49.7% of women and 50.3% of men. Basically, the tropical temperatures aren't the only thing that's hot in Cairns if you're single and looking for love.
Plus, all the fun stuff like movie tickets and gym memberships are cheaper than the Australian average at $16.90 and $52.40 respectively. The average monthly salary in Cairns is also very alluring at $3803.70, while the average monthly rent is $1,182.55. All of these numbers add up to one certainty: Cairns + singles = yes please.
Cairns is a tropical paradise, and now, it's officially a single's paradise too!
#4. Bendigo
The best city for singles in Victoria, Bendigo has everything you could want and a little bit more. Melbourne may be famous for its coffee, but Bendigo earns top spot when it comes to coffee prices. At an average price of just $4.14 for coffee, be prepared to go on plenty of coffee dates.
In terms of affordability, Bendigo also ranks highly, with average rent prices of $1,100 for a one bedroom inner-city apartment and an average monthly salary of $3,333.33. In other words, you'll have plenty of spare cash for things like a gym membership (average monthly price of $48), where you can finally make your daydreams come true and meet your ideal partner.
Movie tickets and a meal for two are also ultra-affordable, with average prices of $17.00 and $88.50, respectively.
Trust us, the second you set foot in Bendigo, it'll be love at first sight!
#3 Hobart
Not only is Hobart a great city for singles, it's also a foodie's dream. What's better than a romantic dinner for two? A romantic dinner for two that doesn't cost a week's wages. With that in mind, Hobart offers the best price for a meal for two of any city on this list at just $72.50. If you want to follow that delicious, romantic dinner with a coffee, that will only cost you $4.45 on average, making Hobart equal second in terms of coffee prices.
Hobart is also eminently affordable for singles, with an average monthly rent price of $1183.25 for a one bedroom inner-city apartment and an average monthly salary of $4,149.20. This equates to spending just 28.2% of your monthly salary on rent.
The rental prices aren't the only things that are attractive in Hobart, either, as 43.8% of the population are also single, according to 2016 Census data.
So, prepare to fall head over heels for Hobart!
#2 Newcastle
If you're single and looking to meet that special someone, there's a lot to like about Newcastle. First things first, Newcastle has the largest population of singles of any city on this list (48.4%), proving the old adage that there really are plenty of fish in the sea.
Elsewhere, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that monthly rent prices are slightly higher than average in Newcastle at $1,420 for a one bedroom inner-city apartment. However, this is well and truly offset because the average monthly salary in Newcastle is a whopping $5,220 – $1,000 more than any other city on this list. That means you're only spending 27.2% of your monthly income on rent.
If you're a film buff, you'll feel right at home in Newcastle, as the average movie ticket costs just $12, while the average monthly cost of a gym membership is $53.50, which is in line with other cities.
Coffee prices are lower than average in Newcastle at $4.45, while a meal for two might hit your wallet slightly harder at $100. However, the way we see it, this presents a great opportunity to cook a romantic, homemade meal for your soon-to-be significant other!
#1 Coffs Harbour
Move over Melbourne and say sayonara Sydney, because Coffs Harbour is officially the number one city for singles in Australia!
Let's start with the important stuff. According to 2016 Australian Census data, 48.1% of Coffs Harbour residents are 'not married' (a.k.a single), with a population ratio of 52.5% females to 47.5% males. In other words, there are heaps of eligible bachelors in Coffs Harbour.
What else makes Coffs Harbour the best city for singles in Australia? Well, the average monthly salary is $3,641.50, while the average monthly rent for a one bedroom apartment in the city centre is extremely affordable at just $976.67. That means rent in Coffs Harbour is more than $100 lower per month than any other city on this list, which adds up to spending only 26.8% of your monthly salary on rent – again, the lowest percentage of any city on this list. In other words, you should have plenty of spare cash to splash on fun, frivolity, and hopefully plenty of dates.
Additionally, the average monthly cost of a gym membership is only $30 (you guessed it, the cheapest of any city on this list), so you have no excuse not to be in the shape of your life on your quest for love.
The average cost of a meal for two in Coffs Harbour is $80, while movie tickets are just $16.50 (*cough* date idea *cough*), and Coffs Harbour coffee costs $4.57 on average.
^ The competition commences at 10:00am on 1 Oct 2019 and will remain open until 11.59pm on 30 Oct 2019. For full Ts&Cs please click here

NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd fired back at CNN's Chris Cuomo after he made a disparaging comparison between him and Jake Tapper.
Cuomo told the Hollywood Reporter, in an expletive-laced interview, that CNN's "Anderson Cooper is a hell of a lot bigger than any male anywhere on network television" before adding that he "would argue that Chuck Todd ain't Jake Tapper."
"Jake Tapper has a much bigger footprint in politics than Chuck Todd does," said Cuomo, the brother of Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
From this morning…
Posted by Bernie and Sid in the Morning on Friday, April 12, 2019
In an interview with WABC, Todd said he doesn't know what Cuomo made the remark about him, Fox News reported.
"I don't know the guy, I've met him once, I don't know much about him, I'm not kidding. I've no idea where this guy's coming from," he told the station.
He added: "I just read it as somebody who wanted to defend the fact that nobody in broadcast television wanted to hire him I guess, or he couldn't get the job that he wanted. I don't know what it was but he was awfully defensive, so he took shots at other people. I'm like, 'dude.'
Chris Cuomo never intended to go into journalism, but the CNN anchor now represents the cable news minority as a both-sides host.
Posted by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, April 11, 2019
Elaborating further, Todd said that if one is "going to promote somebody, promote somebody. You don't have to disparage somebody at the same time."
Todd noted that he considers Tapper a close friend of his, saying Tapper is "probably angrier" with Cuomo's comparison. Tapper, like Cuomo, also works for CNN.
"When you're being [judged] solely on [ratings], it sucks, he's defensive because he's being judged on ratings. And ok, so he's up against two juggernauts at 9 p.m. Nobody would be doing well in that timeslot," he told The Reporter.
Cuomo's show is at the same time as top-rated Fox show "Hannity" and top-rated MSNBC show, "The Rachel Maddow Show."
In the interview, Cuomo said his friends have told him to exit the cable news business.
"The number one thing they say to me is, 'Get out,'" he said. "'You've done enough."
"They're going to kill you. Get out. It's a [expletive] death sentence.'"
His show is typically in third place with about 900,000 viewers each night, while Sean Hannity's show generally has more than 3 million. With the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report that found Russian officials didn't collude with President Trump's campaign, Maddow's show has suffered in terms of ratings.
In the first week of April, Maddow averaged about 2,458,000 viewers with 392,000 people in the key 25 to 54 age demographic, reported the Daily Caller, citing Nielsen Media Research. Those are yearly lows for the left-wing TV host.
Before that, she averaged 2,716,000 viewers with 479,000 in the coveted demographic, the report said.
In comparison, Fox hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham had banner weeks in 2019.
Carlson averaged about 3.5 million viewers and 625,000 in the demographic, while Ingraham got nearly 3 million viewers, the Daily Caller reported.
A new poll, meanwhile, found that Democrats are less likely to believe the media.
Morning Consult noted that the average credibility for Democrats in the poll was 69 percent. Every outlet except for NPR suffered a drop from the previous year. Among Democrats, Fox News had the lowest credibility of any of the media outlets.
Conversely, Fox News stands out as the only outlet who's rating was above 70% among Republicans.

The Origins of National Financial Systems: Alexander Gerschenkron Reconsidered
The Origins of National Financial Systems: Alexander Gerschenkron Reconsidered
Douglas J. Forsyth
The problem
The purpose of this volume is to reopen an old and venerable debate in political economy on completely new terms. At issue are the origins of the distinct features of national financial systems. Since the nineteenth century, it has been commonplace to distinguish between financial systems in which commercial and investment banking are carried out by separate types of firms and those in which "universal banks" carry out both kinds of operation. Britain is often considered the paradigmatic case of a country in which commercial and investment banking evolved separately, and Germany as the paradigmatic homeland of universal banking. Many of the other countries examined by the contributors to this volume fall somewhere between, with France and the Netherlands falling closer to the British end of the spectrum, Italy and Portugal closer to the German end, and Norway, Sweden and Late Imperial Russia somewhere between. Once in place, these financial systems have proved remarkably robust. Most industrial nations still have today financial systems conforming to the broad type they developed by the end of the nineteenth century.
Establishing how and why national financial systems have developed along different lines could be important for two reasons. First, if there are differences in the relative efficiency of universal vs. functionally segmented banking systems, it should matter a great deal how these systems came into being in the first place. Let the reader be advised, we do not attempt to resolve the efficiency issue here, but other scholars have debated, and continue to debate, this question with great intensity. Second, establishing how financial system differentiation occurred in the nineteenth century may afford insight into whether or not the contemporary process of liberalization and international standardization in the regulatory framework for the financial system will produce changes in banking structure.
Two rival explanations
Beginning in 1952, Alexander Gerschenkron argued in a series of influential essays that universal banks evolved in late-industrializing nations in order to take advantage of a set of structural incentives, and in order to compensate for a set of structural impediments to economic growth. the incentives included the possibility

36th Kirkvine meet launched
The 36th JAAA' Puma/Fuller/Anderson Development meet was launched on Tuesday at Golf View Hotel in Mandeville.
Chairman of the organising committee, Maurice Wilson spoke about the benefits of competing on the best grass track in the island. Chief among them, according to Wilson, is the reduction of injury, especially in the early part of the season.
Wilson also announced the establishment of a two-year scholarship tenable at G C Foster College in honour of founders, the late Charlie Fuller and Pat Anderson. Wilson said, "We have also decided to provide a scholarship of $150,000 to that athlete who is willing to continue the legacy of coaching and assisting in taking care and preparing athletes, and the scholarship is tenable at G C Foster College."
Wilson also announced that the four honourees are Reginald Reece (event starter), Dave Anderson (coach), the late Devon Clarke (an official who worked at the meet for many years), and the Jamaica Olympic Association
The meet director Jerry Holness announced that two events have been dropped to ensure the meet ends on time, as well as to allow for all the events to be completed on the day. He said, "Over the years we have been having challenges with the meet completing on time and of course we are dealing with the majority of the athletes participating being youngsters. We want to finish on time and get the youngsters off the road (early). The 1500m, as you know, is very time-consuming, also the 4x8. We have not been getting enough entries in the 4x8 for the past three years so the committee decided to give that a break for this year and see what happens in the future."
Holness said that the events for this year will be the 200m (all classes), 400m (all classes), 3000m for females and the 5000m for males. The meet will begin with the 200m at 9:00 am.
Megan Wilson-Copeland, who coaches many middle distance athletes, said, "I am kind of disappointed with the 1500m not being a part of the events at Kirkvine." According to the Spalding coach, "my team will come out in full flight and all of them will be participating, since this is the meet that we are going to use to prepare them for the up coming Champs".
Olive Fuller, widow of the meet's co-founder, the late Charlie Fuller, was very pleased that the meet carries her husband's name. She said that "he had a passion for sports. It was first in his life. I feel second to it. I was very happy when the organisers decided to honour his name because he loved sports so much, especially track and field".
The meet runs off today at Kirkvine Sports Club in Mandeville and the sponsors are Golf View Hotel, Digicel, Kirkvine, Juici, NCB, Windalco, Stride Vision, Trackalerts, Derrymon Trading, Fontana Pharmacy and G C Foster.

text: AlaskanSandman #101 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) 10 hours ago, Sly Wren said: I'm loving this line of reasoning you, @Seams and @AlaskanSandman are on. I'd see the "bastard sword" as being Jon's halfway sword the one he wants: the true greatsword of his father that will give him a family name. But this is really cool--the Mormonts, the Winter's Child--this could be a really interesting twist. I know i probably didn't mention here yet, but i dont believe Rhaegar to be the father of Jon, not yet. More pushes me to Mance Rayder than Rhaegar. Everything talked about having to do with Bael, a Valyrian line in the North, Alysanne, Queen's Crown, Mance, the Horn of Winter, are all connected to Jon's Journey of self discovery. Rhaegar has nothing to do with his journey imo so far as i can see it. Jon is told a legend that is mirroring his life, Bael the Bard. Jon isn't about to fight King beyond the Wall Rhaegar though, he fights Mance. Who refuses to throw his full force at Jon due to "Blood" as he answers Jon in one word. I think Mance was the Black Brother at Harrenhal and the Knight of the Laughing Tree. He and Rhaegar made some deal imo that all of this hinges on. Songs and legends Mance should Know- The Night King, The Last Hero, Bael the Bard Songs and legends Rhaegar should know- The Night King, The Last Hero, TPTWP, Rhaegar was a Harpist and Mance played the Flute, and their was a tournament of Singers at the Tourney to boot. Good chance these two men would have common interests. Good chance they would have spoke too, if Mance was sent with a request from the Watch to ask for supplies or something else, as we see men sent to K.L. in the current story asking for aid. I imagine going to Aerys II didn't seem like such a good idea, and Tywin was having a fit and left as Hand of the King. ( Though i will give you that there is a window of chance that Rhaegar purposefully intended the slight and knows of Bael and Hardhome and did purposefully steal a Stark Maid. Though if this is indeed the scenario, we need a lot more pretext. What was the point behind stealing the first Stark Maid? Why was Valyria landing North of the Wall? Is this what woke the Others? What's Rhaegar's point in trying to duplicate this? I already mentioned above the silliness of Rhaegar's plan being to crown Jon or any of that. So we need a better idea of what Rhaegar's og plan was, then what his alternate plan became upon possibly stealing Lyanna.) Otherwise im still leaning towards Mance as Jon's father and Rhaegar as Daenerys' father. Ice and Fire. The books are about them coming together, not about how ice and fire already came together imo.

Our guide to Fort William
The town's stunning location provides the main appeal for visitors; Fort William is spectacularly set overlooking Loch Linnhe and the rugged West coast with Scotland's tallest mountain, Ben Nevis, providing a stunning back drop.
Walkers, ramblers, hikers, cyclists and those who simply enjoy the great outdoors flock to the highland town throughout the summer months to use it as a base from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside and coast. The town lies at the northern end of the West Highland Way, Scotland's most popular long distance walk, and Glen Nevis, the valley on the Eastern flank of Ben Nevis, provides some excellent trails whilst the brave may try to climb to the peak. The busy harbour offers an opportunity for boat trips on the loch to enjoy the Lochaber scenery and wildlife spotting on the water.
As one of the main ports and largest towns on the West Coast, Fort William acts as a major commercial hub for a large area of the Western Highlands. As such the town is home to a bustling centre of high street shops and a healthy number of gift and visitor outlets. There is a lively pub scene which comes to life through the summer months and a host of quality eateries including seafood restaurants serving fayre fresh from the loch. Attractions within the town include the West Highland Museum which details the Jacobite and wider history of the region, whilst the Ben Nevis Distillery offers an interesting tour with a free dram to round off your visit.
Further afield, the area provides a wealth of heritage locations; to the south lies the eerily beautiful valley of Glencoe, infamous location of the 17th century clan massacre whilst to the north you'll find the Glenfinnan Monument and a perfect location from which to watch trains crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter movies.
Fort William provides an ideal base from which to explore the great outdoors and an ideal stopover on route to the northern highlands.

I am friends with one of our NWF Bootcamp Athletes who's a joy to train with and a fantastic writer. I asked her to write something for you all in hopes that you enjoy reading her words as much as I do. Here's what badass Robyn Wilson has to say:
One Duck is Enough
Laws of Fitness: Part II
Permission? No thanks.
Why "Northwest Forge"?
The idea that results can come without any effort and struggle is beyond frustrating for me. I wanted a business that screams "If you come here, you're going to hurt."
That's why I settled on the name Northwest Forge.
Nobody gets to cleanse impurities or bad habits by taking a magic pill or undergoing plastic surgery. It takes effort, pressure, and time. Some people will get burned realizing that it actually requires these things after skirting the requirements for success. "How many calories do I eat per day to lose weight?" Good question, but without a complete picture of training, nutrition, AND mindset, it won't happen.
Throw yourself into the forge fully. Expect the heat, the effort, the sweat, and the burn. That's where the magic happens.

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) has been with us since the term was coined for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956. Today, while general AI strives for full cognitive abilities, there is a narrower scope—this better-defined AI is the domain of machine learning (ML) and other algorithm-driven solutions where cybersecurity has embraced AI. SANS recently conducted a survey of professionals working or active in cybersecurity, and involved with or interested in the use of AI for improving the security posture of their organization.

The information sources for studying abroad are both redundant and not enough; it is because today we have too many information websites, too many abroad study consultancy centers, and numerous seminars are held continuously ... But paradoxically, all of these, are not enough to just answer all questions that both young students and their parents may have. The missing pieces must be what the people who study abroad experienced. Even though people usually spend a lot of effort and money, they still struggle with too many problems and have no idea where to begin their dream.
In "Du hoc My", Van Anh - Minh Duc, the book's authors, shared all of their experiences to help us make a wise decision for the future academic life abroad.
Van Anh and Minh Duc are also gifted students in the Gifted and Talented School (2014-2017), who are self-suited to "hunt" for a scholarship to study in the United States and earn a scholarship to the prestigious New York University Abu Dhabi and Hamilton College. In your book, you will uncover the things that hard to have a consulting center to study "willing" to share with customers. And that is what will make a huge difference in the search for scholarships to study in the United States for those who have real needs.

Epson Stylus CX3810 Driver Download
Epson Stylus CX3810 Review– The Epson Stylus CX3810 Printer an all that much balanced multifunction device at the expense. The machine does not have a pictbridge port which would allow you to interface contraptions particularly to the printer. Photo's turned out really lovely, of course it seems to streak if you haven't used the printer for a bit, so make a point to adjust it before using it if its been a while. Scaning quality works really well if you change the settings viably.
The Epson Stylus CX3810 Printer generally just for the copying capabilites. The copies reliably turn out crisp and clear. The fundamental thing I would improve would be the ability to pick the amount of copies I can set aside a couple of minutes. As the printer will simply make one copy on the double, it generally transforms into a bit delayed. As a printer the Epson Stylus CX3810 makes a mind blowing indicating and A lot of printing and have never encountered any trouble with any viewpoint the printer.

Lenten Devotion: Look, Listen
Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Look, Listen
Job 13:1-13
Job's impassioned defense of himself, after trials too painful to endure, is stirring to us. We are with him deeply. It's hard to imagine going through his losses with anything resembling the surety he displays. It's hard to imagine that after all his suffering, he still has his story.
In my role as a palliative care chaplain, I work with plenty of "worthless physicians." When the surgery has brought lethal complications, when the cancer returns, when the breathing test fails, our doctors come to the end of their expertise in medicine. It is in these impossible situations where many will, resigned, say: "There are no more treatments we have to offer." It's true that in absence of possible cure, feelings of worthlessness and powerlessness frustrate us, clinician and patient alike. And it is in these situations that palliative medicine comes in. We enter not to offer a cure but to listen for a story. Who are you? What are your hopes, your concerns? What is your source of strength and support? What is most meaningful in the end of life? We seek healing in impossible situations by listening and attending to grief, loss, and pain. It is powerful for our patients and families to speak fearlessly about what is most important. The chance to claim our stories is a path to healing, even when no cure is possible. And it can redeem the physicians: It turns out that if we can offer care in line with a patient's values, we are giving the best care possible. Caring for a patient's spiritual or emotional need is the best care possible. And to do that, we must listen.
In this passage, Job shows us the power of silence. When we feel like we have nothing left to offer, we can offer silence, and listen, and attend.

By Cyril Penn
Special to S.F. Examiner
With the NFL draft in the books, and with rookie mini camps opening this week, the San Francisco 49ers have drastically improved their defensive line and receiving corps. They hit some home runs and made some questionable calls along the way. But if each selection was graded individually, what kind of grade point average would the haul receive?
First Round (No. 2 overall): Nick Bosa, Ohio State Defensive End
Nick Bosa is almost unanimously considered the best overall player in this year's draft by well-informed prognosticators. And clearly John Lynch agrees, admitting the Niners have "long coveted" the Ohio State product in a Day 1 media presser.
At 6-foot-4 and 266 pounds, Bosa will line up as the "Big-End" in San Francisco's 4-3 scheme. He brings an array of polished pass-rushing moves and counters to a defense that has struggled to generate sacks and turnovers.
Bosa, Dee Ford and DeForest Buckner form a heroic triumvirate that will pillage opposing offensive lines.
Grade: A (4.0)
Second Round (No. 36 overall): Tyshun "Deebo" Samuel, South Carolina Wide Receiver
Nicknamed for the bully from the movie Friday, Deebo Samuel brings the ultimate tough-guy personality to a finesse position.
With underrated speed (4.48-second 40-yard dash), sure-handedness and elite run-after-catch ability, it's easy to see why South Carolina moved Samuel all over the field. The Gamecocks got him the ball in the slot, out wide, on jet sweeps and even as a return specialist.
At only 5-foot-11, Samuel isn't a typical outside receiver, but Kyle Shanahan will love using him on gadget plays, screens and slants to utilize Samuel's dynamic skills with the ball in his hands. His elite balance, shiftiness and will to keep his legs driving through contact reminds many of Golden Tate.
Grade: B+ (3.3)
Third Round (No. 67 overall): Jalen Hurd, Baylor Wide Receiver
A true offensive weapon, Jalen Hurd started his career as a running back at Tennessee before transferring to Baylor to switch positions. At Baylor, he immediately became the go-to-guy on offense and lined up in the slot, on the edge and even in the backfield as the Bears' power back.
At 6-foot-5, Hurd gives the Niners the red zone threat they've been looking for. Shanahan suggested that he envisions deploying Hurd as a receiver, tight end and running back and said, "I don't remember being able to say that about any player I've ever studied."
Pairing one of the most creative offensive minds in football one of the most versatile players in recent draft history is a match made in football heaven.
Grade: A- (3.7)
Fourth Round (No. 110 overall): Mitch Wishnowsky, Utah Punter
The most questionable pick of the 49ers' draft was clearly Wishnowsky. Drafting any specialist in the fourth round looks like a reach.
But as far as punters go, Wishnowsky is top tier. The Australian can punt with either leg and is adept at pinning the opposition deep by placing the ball exactly where he wants. Over Wishnowsky's last 106 punts at Utah, opponents had less than 100 total return yards.
For a team that was 27th in the NFL in net punt average last season, the Niners defense will welcome their new coffin-corner punter with open arms.
Grade: B- (2.7)
Fifth Round (No. 148 overall): Dre Greenlaw, Arkansas Linebacker
Dre Greenlaw is an undersized (5-foot-11) linebacker with blistering speed (4.52 40-yard dash) and good coverage instincts.
He projects as a solid special teamer and a nickel linebacker in obvious passing situations, but on tape he gets washed out of plays constantly by offensive linemen. Greenlaw should not see the field on running downs until he gains strength and learns to shed blocks.
Grade: C (2.0)
Sixth Round (No. 176 overall): Kaden Smith, Stanford Tight End
Kaden Smith was considered a Day 2 prospect before a poor 4.92 40-yard dash sunk his stock.
However, a deeper look shows his 7.08 3-cone drill time was third among the draft's tight ends. Smith combines that sneaky quickness with strong hands to catch contested passes and a decent feel as a run-blocker. He will challenge Garrett Celek for the TE2 spot immediately.
Grade: B+ (3.3)
Sixth Round (No. 183 overall): Justin Skule, Vanderbilt Tackle
As a 40-game SEC starter with experience at left and right tackle, Skule is a developmental prospect who will compete with Shon Coleman for the swing-tackle spot.
Across his 473 senior season pass blocking snaps, Skule allowed a single sack. That sack came at the hands of No. 7 overall pick, Josh Allen.
Although he's bit top-heavy and will need to add strength to hold up against NFL pass rushers, he'll make his mark early as a run blocker with experience in a zone-blocking scheme.
Grade: B (3.0)
Sixth Round (No. 198 overall): Tim Harris, Virginia Cornerback
With the size (6-foot-2) and speed (4.45 40-yard dash) of an ideal press corner, it makes sense that San Francisco would take a later-round flier on Tim Harris.
Harris played six seasons at Virginia due to two medical redshirts, so his injury past is a concern. He also doesn't have great read-and-react skills or the "extra gear" to close the gap when receivers get separation.
With a rare physical profile, Harris could fight for snaps at outside corner or convert to free safety like former seventh rounder Adrian Colbert.
Grade: B- (2.7)
49ers Final GPA: 3.1
