A Home Run for Law Students in MacGillivray's 2018 Summer Program
Located just up the street from the MacGillivray Law Office on Provost Street in New Glasgow, NS, as well as at our Halifax, NS office on West Street, a group of students are working hard at MLOx. Although there have been summer students in the past at MacGillivray, this year the students play a more specialized role by working on settlement proposals under the guidance of the lawyers.
Real Work for Real Students
The premise of MLOx mirrors that of TEDx, a series of talks regarding "ideas worth spreading" in a pop-up location. At MLOx, the students work independently while bouncing ideas off of one another and learning from each others' experiences to draft settlement proposals for clients. This process involves legal research, clear and concise writing, and communicating effectively and compassionately with clients to ensure that their experiences are presented accurately.
The Baseball Model
The structure of MLOx is based on a baseball model where each step in the process corresponds to that which would occur in a baseball game. Jamie MacGillivray, founder of MacGillivray Law and its subsequent pop-up location MLOx, resides as the "coach" of the MLOx players. Experienced paralegal, Carla MacLennan, has taken on the role of supervisor for the students. She assigns cases and offers guidance and clarity on any questions that may arise, applying her experience from over ten years as a paralegal. Madison Veinotte, recent graduate of Dalhousie University and Articled Clerk serves as a mentor to the students and offers his insight by proofreading and editing the work done by the students as well as fielding any questions they might have.
Carla assigns files ("the pitch") to the students, who write a first draft ("the hit"). Madison or Jamie then reviews this draft and provides feedback ("first base") to the student who writes a second draft ("second base"). This version is sent to the lawyer who makes any necessary edits ("third base"). The proposal is then sent out to the opposing counsel to start the negotiation process ("the run").
The students keep track of the number of proposals sent out, the settlement demand, and the number of settlements that are negotiated to completion.
The Roster
The MLOx roster of "players" is as follows:
Matt Hack just earned his LLB at University College London after earning his LLM at Queen Mary University of London and has joined MacGillivray while working towards his NCA after working here as a student for two prior summers. Matt is originally from Pictou County, NS.
Ben Johnson returns for his third summer as a student at MacGillivray as well. He is entering his third year of law at Dalhousie University. Ben is originally from Pictou County, NS.
Amanda Forsey is new to MacGillivray this year and is entering her final year of law at University of New Brunswick. She is originally from Falmouth, NS and is working out of the Halifax office.
Coralie Robert is also new to MacGillivray and is entering her second year of law at l'Université de Moncton. She is originally from Dartmouth, NS and is working out of the Halifax office.
Christina Cleroux is back at MacGillivray for her second summer and is entering her first year of law at Dalhousie University. She is originally from Pictou County, NS.
Paget Houston is entering her second year of Commerce at Queen's University after joining MacGillivray for her first summer. She is originally from Pictou County, NS.
MLOx offers students the opportunity to work with real clients on real cases and work closely with lawyers to get a feel for the specifics of the profession. Visit us at MacGillivray Injury and Insurance Law to discover what we do.

alization, as they capture the two directions that capture maximal variance.
PCA is popular because it can be computationally efficient in many cases
relevant to single-cell data, the axes it
returns are interpretable (in that they
are linear combinations of the biomolecules being measured), and it is
possible to compute how much of the
variance is captured in the top n PCs.
Its interpretation is straightforward as
well: It captures the direction of maximal variance. However, in PCA each
PC must be orthogonal to the others,
therefore, it will perform best on linear
data. Additionally, the variance in the
data may not be the most informative
characteristic. For these reasons, PCA
is often a quick, first pass visualization
A more complex set of nonlinear approaches is also in use. One popular
method performs nonlinear embedding with the Student's t distribution,
called t-sne (t-distributed stochastic
neighbor embedding), which tends to
preserve structure in mass cytometry
data better than linear methods such
as PCA [ 2]. This is an iterative algorithm that, in each iteration, strives to
return a (typically) two-dimensional
position for each high-dimensional
data point by optimizing an objective
function in which points that are close
in high-dimensional space are placed
close to each other in 2-D, while other
points are repelled. It is computationally burdensome for large numbers of
cells, which can constrain its use in
some applications.
In biological systems, biomolecules
interact in complex networks to affect a desired response such as cell
division, secretion of molecules to
communicate with other cells, and
processes that regulate cell metabolism. When biological networks
malfunction, the results can lead to
serious diseases. A classic example
is cancer, in which mutations affecting tumor suppressor or oncogenic
proteins misregulate the biological
network, which then instructs the
cell to divide incessantly, resulting
in a tumor, or to travel through the
bloodstream, inducing metastases.
Resulting clusters are often sensitive
to the particular choice of algorithm
(k-means may yield a very different
set of clusters than agglomerative approaches for instance) as well as the
choice of distance metric. A distance
metric such as Euclidean distance is
magnitude sensitive, while rank-based
methods such as Spearman correlations assess similarity of patterns and
are magnitude independent.
As biological distributions, cell
populations follow typical distribution
patterns with many cells concentrated near the mean of that population,
and tapering concentrations as the
distance increases from the median.
Because of this, they lend themselves
well to separation via density-based
approaches. Density-based methods,
which are becoming more popular in
the field, work by first estimating the local density, either by griding the space
or using a nearest-neighbor approach
or similar. They then find regions to
separate along areas of low density.
These methods are attractive partly because they mimic the human expert's
process: Humans also look for dense
areas of concentrations and naturally
identify populations by separating
along areas of low density.
Just as a human must sometimesdecide if a "bump" is really a differ-ent population or just a noisy cornerof an existing population, so too mustthese methods handle this type of po-tential noise. Density-based methodsmay become computationally pro-hibitive as the number of dimensionsgrows large, or as the number of cellsbecomes large. Some density-basedmethods may work easily in two di-mensions, but can become prohibi-tively expensive at three or more, andtherefore must be applied to sequen-tial sets of two dimensions each. Fi-nally, both density-based methods andclustering suffer greatly from the curseof dimensionality. As the number of di-mensions grows, the data become ex-tremely sparse and the amount of datarequired to separate clusters of cellsgrows exponentially. Many rare andimportant biological stem cell subsets(sometimes tens of cells) are nearly im-possible to identify statistically acrossall dimensions.
While clustering and density-based
approaches return distinct cell populations, dimensionality reduction approaches enable a low, dimensional visualization of high-dimensional data,
which the biologist can then interpret
with the standard (but powerful!) human pattern recognition system. Unlike other tools, these methods do not
always try to capture all potential cell
subsets, but instead strive to "squeeze"
out extra dimensions and can return
a user-defined number of dimensions
(typically two is chosen for ease of visualization). One tried and true method
is principal component analysis (PCA),
which finds eigenvectors, or linear
combinations of the original dimensions, which are termed "principle
components" (PC), along with a coefficient that indicates the importance of
each such PC. The coefficients are the
eigenvalues, and they indicate what
proportion of the data's variance is
captured by a particular PC. Typically
the top two PCs are used for a 2-D visu-

Best Travel Insurance And What You Need To Know
My own view is that it's crazy to travel without Travel Insurance. And that's particularly the case when you're traveling overseas and your travels includes taking one or more flights.
How do you feel when you hear of airplanes experiencing technical problems in flight? It's scary, there's no doubt about it. And our news channels make the most of it.
The reality is that, given the number of people that fly on any given day and the number of planes in the air, air travel is extremely safe.
But things can still go wrong.
They Lost My Bags | God! What Can I Do?
Flights can be significantly delayed, resulting in all manner of difficulties for the following
Your onward connections
Hotel accommodation
Tour commencement
Whether your flight arrives on time or not, there's the issue of lost or damaged luggage.
Having experienced both lost and damaged luggage I can testify that it does happen and, regardless of how well you're treated by airline staff, it's a hassle, particularly when it occurs while you're overseas.
Travel Insurance | You Need It When You Get Sick
You never know what could happen and most standard health insurance plans don't cover you when you're traveling.
Whether we're talking illness or injury, comprehensive travel insurance from a quality provider can get you back on the road, or get you home again, without significantly impacting your own pocket.
What You Need From Great Travel Insurance
In simple terms here's what a really great travel insurance policy should cover you for.
- Medical expenses
- When you're sick and you need to see a doctor
- When time and/or the remoteness of your location require extraction via helicopter
- Cover for electronic devices that break or are stolen
- Trip cancellation
Get Travel Insurance And Value The Peace Of Mind
In addition to the above your plan needs to be affordable and offer you peace of mind. Clearly, you still need to take care when you're traveling, but you can enjoy your trip in the knowledge that, if something were to go wrong, your travel insurance will be there to support you and help get you out of trouble.
Travel Insurance Just Has To Be Easy
It's essential that the travel insurance you sign up for has to be easy to purchase and renew online. This makes it much easier to do so if you're traveling regularly or for an extended period of time.
Travel Insurance Danger | Why Risk Your Safety?
I'd be careful about trying to save a few dollars by deciding not to purchase Travel Insurance. Given the significant amount of money that I'm investing in my own travels I feel it's false economy to try and save a few bucks on insurance.
When I travel I want to have fun and not be overly worried every time I jump into a local taxi, take a boat trip to explore an offshore island or visit a deserted temple complex in the jungle.
World Nomad Is The Travel Insurance I Trust
I purchase World Nomads for my own travel insurance, whether I'm traveling for business or pleasure. Here's why I recommend Travel Nomads.
- I use them myself and benefit from the peace of mind their policy provides me
- They offer a great and affordable product
- World Nomads back up their product with excellent customer service

Add a Little Live Music to Your Metropolis in Newest Expansion for Cities: Skylines
The newest expansion for Cities: Skylines is going to let you throw concerts in your cities! The expansion, appropriately titled Concerts, is available right now for the PC version of the game.
Who doesn't love concerts? Crazy people and the deaf, that's who. Players will be able to control all the tiny details that surround festivals and concerts. When they happen, where they happen, what kind of parking violations get handed out and how badly traffic is clogged all factor into the addition of live music in a city.
At present, there are three acts plugged into the expansion: NESTOR, Elijah MOTi and Lily La Roux. Not a bad roster for a seven-dollar add-on. Even if these artists aren't your thing, modders will almost certainly be adding more in the near future. This rad little portal to parties, pumping tunes and various municipal headaches is out today for PC, Mac and Linux. Check out the launch trailer below!

Free Printable Valentine Cards
Don't want to buy character Valentines for your kiddos this year? Don't want to buy a pack of 42 when you only need 6? Don't want to spend money on Valentines this year, period? I have your solution... if you have access to a colored printer of course. ;) These were SO FUN to create and assemble and I can't wait for Kade to hand them out to his little friends this year. We may even snail mail a couple out to family members just for fun!
I printed these in color on regular printer paper, cut them out, and then backed them on colored cardstock. The only thing I didn't include on these cards are a "to" and "from." I figured kiddos can sign their name wherever they can find a spot, or they can sign on the back!
There are three different printable themed sets of cards. I created 4 monster-themed cards, 6 cupcake-themed cards, and 6 bumble bee-themed cards. You can find all 3 by clicking on the images, or the links below!
We hope you like them! Happy Valentine's Day from Kade and I. :)

Gubernatorial Go-Go: A forecast
Five years ago I wrote that the Democratic trend in Illinois was so strong we might never see a Republican governor again—barring some major scandal. Well, the past year or two set the stage for a GOP revival, but the Democrats are probably too smart to let it happen.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich is drowning in a cesspool of financial scandals, personal betrayals, bizarre antics and political miscues so pervasive as to drive his favorables down to Ahmadinejad territory—and the worst may be yet to come. I speak, as many do, of indictment.
His recent last-minute, grandstand play on the mass-transit bill—injecting free rides for seniors—will not rescue him from the feds, nor will it raise his scrawny support numbers much past Britney Spears'.
I cannot explain the overall behavior of this unusual politician because I am a political analyst, not a psychoanalyst. Let me confess, however, I voted for him twice and at least for a while sort of understood what he was doing with his worse-than-Clintonian triangulations.
Reflexively I took his side against House Speaker Michael Madigan as a matter of principle: One should always be against Michael Madigan.
But Blagojevich is not only against Madigan, he is against everybody—even himself, judging by much of his goofiness. How about running off to hockey games in the middle of serious legislative negotiations—let alone in the middle of a press conference?
When his own father-in-law, a Chicago alderman, complains about the governor's ethics, you know you have a truly comic conundrum—a paradox wrapped in a contradiction inside an oxymoron.
Even should he escape the long arm of the law by 2010 it is difficult to see Blagojevich surviving a contest against any Republican short of Alan Keyes. Of course, the Republicans would have to disarm their circular firing squad and come up with a candidate of reasonable quality and respectable ideology, at least marginally acceptable to decent Democrats. Let's say a U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk who, if he is still in office, may not want to remain in a Democratic Congress under a Democratic president.
However, the Democrats, as noted, are too smart to let it all happen. Much as they detest Blagojevich, they detest losing power even more, so they will do their best to erase Blagojevich in the primary election, as they did Dan Walker 32 years ago.
The logical candidate—who considered challenging him two years ago—would be Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Her independent, professional performance in office has helped her live down her family name among progressive and reform Democrats, while at the same time she has not alienated the regulars, especially her powerful dad. She would have massive support in the primary and easily win the general election.
Another logical contender would be Lieutenant Governor Pat Quinn, the maverick, progressive populist with big reform credentials but little capability of raising the millions of dollars needed for a battle against the Madigans. He has run for almost every office on the ballot except governor, with surprising—if intermittent—success.
So why wouldn't he run too?
Well, the problem would be, what if the two split the vote and Blagojevich somehow slipped through? That would be very good for the Republicans, but very bad for everybody else, and there are more Democrats than Republicans.
The solution here would be for the Democrats to hand the attorney general's office over to Quinn and give Lisa Madigan unobstructed aim at Blagojevich. The governor, who once boasted of his "testicular fortitude" would wind up doing his Elvis imitations as a soprano.

Using Kelvin Temperatures To Your Advantage
Our industry professionals are becoming very talented lighting designers. Many are trying different styles of lighting, as well introducing color the design process. The use of different Kelvin temperatures in lighting designs is also becoming very popular.
What exactly is Kelvin? There are three temperature scales in use today: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. The Kelvin (abbreviation k) degree is the standard international unit of thermodynamic temperature.
Here are descriptions of Kelvin temperatures being used in the industry today:
· 2200k is a very warm candle light look.
· 2700k is a warm white
· 3000k is a bright white
· 5700k is a cool white
Many contractors use 2200k for soft wall washing, especially on natural wood fences. 2700k is usually a suitable replacement for a normal halogen lamp. Lighting contractors rely on 2700k as their workhorse color. A 3000k lamp can also be used in place of a normal halogen. This color is good for areas that may have a lot of ambient light compared to other areas.
To achieve a cooler effect, 5700k might be a desirable temperature. Using 5700k in underwater and moonlighting applications can be quite pleasant.
A recommendation: Buy several lamps from your local supplier, and experiment with them. Try them in a previous job or in your own backyard. This test is a good way to know the performance of the lamp ahead of time — and to become a lighting expert.

Hi guys! This weekend, I plan to live the simple life. Organizing the office, a spa day with Cat, and staying in my new pajama set, similar to the one below, are all on the agenda. As is taking more photos of and with Bailey. My lettering project for the week is to make a print similar to the one from Rifle Paper Co., but with the saying "maman sait mieux" (mama knows best, in French), so that will be completed this weekend. Last on the list is making mother/daughter flower crowns for an upcoming DIY post! To say I'm excited about it is the definition of an understatement. Prepare for a lot of cuteness coming your way. Have a great weekend!

Gardaí in Dublin have made a fresh appeal for key witnesses to come forward, as part of the inquiry into the murder of Dermot Byrne in Swords.
The 56 year old father of three was found fatally injured on North Street in the town just over a week ago.

ARSENAL PLAYERS ARE too obsessed with "selfies and six-packs", according to Roy Keane.
Arsene Wenger's men are considered a legitimate threat to Chelsea's bid for back-to-back Premier League titles, after addressing the need for a goalkeeper with the signing of Petr Cech from their London rivals.
Arsenal's ambitions, however, were dismissed by outspoken former Manchester United captain Keane.
In comments appearing in the Sunday World newspaper, Keane accused the playing squad of being too vain.
"We've the same thing … [every year]. There's too many Arsenal players interested in selfies, I think, whatever they are," said Keane.
"Instead of focusing on winning Premier League titles, it's all about how their bodies look, how their hair is, more so than winning football matches, which is the way things are going.
"They've got good players, really good players, it's just one or two of their players are more interested in selfies and six-packs.
"They've lots of good players, good characters who roll their sleeves up, just not those who are trying to get their pictures every day of the week, selfies."

We will leave at 8:20 to take the cakes to Independence and then go on to my hair appointment at 9:00. After that, we will go out to their Walmart which is a Superstore. Then we will stop at Goody's again just to look around. Finally, after 11:00 we will go to Great China and eat lunch.
When we get back home, I want to go to Bingo at the senior center at 1:00. I don't think Bob will go. He takes a nap in the afternoon.
On another subject...Here is a concept of God that I can accept....
To summarize with a broad brush, they saw their world as finished and complete. They recognized the patterns of day and night and lived through the seasons. Thus for them God was the creator and the methods he used were beyond their comprehension thus they stated that the world was created by God's word or fiat. With this basic assumption and some 'common sense' observations they developed stories of creation that led to both an explanation of why things were the way they were, and also a description of the nature of the God they understood.
From this background the stories of creation make sense. Human beings are obviously the dominant species and thus they were the primary object of God's creation and the world was provided for their benefit. Obviously all creatures produced their own kind and thus must have been created in their presently observable form. This included human beings and they were created in the very image of God. This was an important concept since the reverse was therefore true. God was envisioned as the ultimate human male with magical powers to control the creation as he willed. Thus as we list all the attributes of God we find each of them the superlative of human attributes.
Early in the Israelite tribes, they developed the concept of a God who had chosen them as his special people and with this selection there came a list of requirements to maintain this favored status. One important one was that God could brook no rivals. This explained many of the worship rituals and social laws and the relationship to other tribes.
One of the easily observed characteristics of humans in general is that they were not perfect. Since one cannot accept an ultimate God who created imperfect humans, then the creation story has a 'fall from perfection' to explain the human condition. The next obvious step is that if there was a fall then there must be some plan for a restoration to perfection. This easily developed into God having a plan and that plan including some method of redemption.
Since it had been observed that blood was the essence of life then it became an object of veneration. Animal sacrifice of perfect animals, to present the life blood to God was honed to an art and even human sacrifice was included in early development of worship among their neighbors. Eventually the concept of the mechanism for redemption of mankind from the 'fall' included the idea of a human sacrifice of a perfect human to atone for mankind's sins. While the original Israelites never got to this stage of their religion, the early Christian followers did. In an attempt to explain the crucifixion of Jesus they developed an elaborate scheme where Jesus was the pre-ordained perfect man who was to be sacrificed to atone for the original sin of Adam and to act as a propitiation for the current sins of present generations.
We sit today, after two thousand years with this chain of Jesus redemptive reasoning has led to the orthodox Christian theology. For me, the mystery is that few Christians look at this historical perspective and pause to consider the possibility that with our current understand of the universe that these ancient concept do not fit our reality.
First, we are aware of the events which led to Jesus being crucified. It was the Roman response to someone who proclaimed an alternate social order from Roman rule. Thus we no longer need to explain it in terms of a blood sacrifice.
Second we are aware that the earth is but a speck of dust when compared to the universe and the billions of galaxies, many far larger than our own. This gives us pause when considering our importance in the scheme of things.
Third, we are aware of the creative process, not only of the earth itself, but even of the element of which it along with we are made.
Fourth , we are aware that humankind was not the first or primary life form and we are the result of many millions of years of evolution which in itself was not necessarily destined to produce us in our present form.
Fifth, there is no heavenly throne just outside of the sky where God resides. With what is known of the universe it is impossible to propose an external location for God. The anthropomorphic model of God is increasingly harder to sustain.
Sixth, it is evident that the whole universe is in a state of creation and evolution. Thus there is no evidence of some one time perfect state. Thus the evidence is that perfection is a goal yet to be realized and not a previously lost state. One basic criterion from observations is that change is the nature of the universe and thus is most likely the nature of God.
Seventh, we have two choices in the way that we look at our human predicament. One is that we live in a Godless universe where chance and chaos rules. The other is that there is indeed a God, but we must search for a definition just as those people who lived four thousand years did.
Eighth, I choose to believe that there is a God and start by suggesting that God exists throughout the universe and thus is not identifiable as a super human. I believe that our evidence for the existence of God is in all life forms. I suggest that God is incarnate in all life and that we as humans best observe this incarnation in human life. It might well be that this incarnation is rather primitive with respect to the nature of God throughout the galaxies. But human incarnation is the only contact that we have with God.
Ninth. There is a connection to the ancient stories of Jesus and his proclamation of the establishment of a 'kingdom of God' or the type of society where the God incarnate on this earth can find the fullest expression in the lives of humankind.
Tenth. This leads to a very different view of Jesus and what he taught. It has nothing whatsoever to do with him being the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. It sees him as very human as are we. It even sees that in some things he was very wrong in some of his ideas of how God intervenes in this world.
I know this theology isn't for everyone but it's how I see the subject.

#23 – Owen Tippett, RW – Mississauga, OHL
Central Scouting – #7 NAS
Future Considerations – #6
McKeens – #6
Craig Button – #23
Hockey Prospect – #22
COMPARABLE : Phil Kessel
UPSIDE : 2nd-Line Goal-Scoring RW
FLOOR : AHL All-Star
I have watched Owen Tippett play for a long time and I've never really come away impressed with his overall game. There is a lot to like with the offensive part of his game but he has holes in other parts that raise a bit of a red flag for me. For instance, I don't see a ton of second effort on loose pucks/board battles and he often seems lackadaisical gliding around waiting for plays to develop. Defense isn't his strong suit and neither is his play away from the puck but this can be improved with time…actually, it will need to. There are not many coaches who are going to tolerate half-hearted back-checks at the NHL level. Now this may just be a "hey, I'm in junior and I'm a star player" type of thing but I don't like to see those kinds of habits at any level.
For the positives, they are very easy to see: a very strong skater with a great stride and breakaway speed. He's a North-South type of player that owns an absolute cannon for a shot which is deadly and accurate. The offensive skill is evident but I believe he has some work to do with his overall game before he gets to the next level. My comparable for Owen Tippett is Phil Kessel because of the way he can skate and shoot the puck but the comparisons end there. First and foremost, Kessel is a much better all-around player…he was drafted as a center who was ventually converted over to wing. I think Kessel is a better playmaker and creative player. I think Tippett has a lot of talent but he will need to work very hard to shore up certain aspects of his game for the next level.
I don't believe this is the type of player who would do well as a 3rd/4th line depth guy so it's probably Top-6 or bust so it's high risk, high reward with this player.

Ready to roll up your sleeves? The adventure of a lifetime is looming on the horizon.
There's an overused expression hovering in the back of my brain, a cliche perhaps, but true for all that.
Today is the first day…
(…can you finish it with me? Let's all say it together!)
of the rest of your life!
Who wants to join me?
(Of course, for all I know, you all are weeks ahead of me in this. I've had this feeling of the school year creeping up on me, and a glance at the calendar tells me it's nearly here. All the planning that I've been *thinking* about doing is going to have to get done in the next two weeks if I'm going to meet my original start-by date, set last June when we embarked on a glorious summer of (mostly) vacation.)
Just to help establish the right mood, I'm offering a free copy of the new Schoolhouse Planner! All you have to do is comment on this post, and next Monday we'll draw a name for a winner!
Let your friends know–as they say, "the more the merrier," after all!
Everyone who joins in to plan and organize for the new school year is a winner, actually! Think about it! How many applicable aphorisms–"aphorisms" sounds so much nicer than "cliches"–can you come up with? Here's one to start: "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail."
Who's with me?

Ah Vienna. Eat your heart out Midge Ure and Ultravox (check the outfits)...
This is a quick post to note that Patrick Mc Carthy and I are in Vienna this week to attend an international conference here on addressing the humanitarian impacts of cluster munitions, which is being hosted by the Government of Austria, as part of the Oslo process.
We're aware that there's a lot of interest out there in the progress of the meeting, and we'll try to give you updates over the next few days about what's going on, (hopefully) starting with tomorrow's civil society forum on cluster munitions.
Additionally, if there are any questions you want us to try to answer, just drop us a line using the comment function on this blog (see below).

Heading back to your favourite holiday destination this summer? Well, you're not alone.
In fact, we've found that 93% of us are retreat repeaters; that means we've jetted off to the same destinations, and even the same resorts more than once. In fact, on average we've visited the same country 10 times, even though more than half of us have not yet made it to our dream destination.
Whether we're booking a holiday away to relax, spend time with our loved ones or to just get some sun, it seems that while we have a desire to travel and see the world, we end up visiting the same destinations, as well as hotels and even restaurants!
The main reason for our repeat behaviour is the sense of familiarity. When we're committing our time and money to booking a holiday, we want to make sure that we like it, and revisiting destinations means we know what we're getting. We've found that other factors that influence our holiday decision are knowing that we'll like the food and drink, with 49% of us saying that is important, along with knowing we'll like the culture (42%) and knowing we'll get a good deal (31%).
It's tempting to go back to places you've been before, especially if it's somewhere you really enjoyed. However, breaking the holiday rut and making the decision to try somewhere new can give you so much more than new stories.
Travel expert Frank Brehany says, "Travel should be all about breaking out of the mould of our daily lives and receiving physical and mental nourishment".
Sometimes the world seems so big, there's almost too much choice out there, with 17% of us feeling overwhelmed with options. However, Frank says that breaking the holiday rut can refresh our whole outlook on travel. He adds, "I would encourage all holidaymakers to reach out; you won't be disappointed".
When surveyed, it seems that half of us are disappointed we haven't seen more of the world and 58% of us have not been to our dream holiday destination. Worries about not being able to afford it, age and time off work were the biggest contribution factors to this.
So why not do something a little different on your next holiday? Be it a whole new destination, city or even just getting off the beaten track in your favourite place. There's a lot to see out there, and being open to new experiences and ideas could be the start of a whole new journey for you.
Need help planning? There are plenty of great deals on the Travel Republic website, including flights and hotels for long and short haul destinations. Your holiday is yours for the making.

About Fundus Photography
Since the retina is located in the back region of the eye, it takes special technologies to capture a clear image of the structure to accurately diagnose a problem. Using fundus photography, Dr. Kaushal is able to use an advanced camera to get detailed pictures of the retina. These images are able to accurately provide us the "big picture" regarding the health of the retina since they show the blood vessels, nerves, the optic nerve, macula, and more. Fundus technology allows Dr. Kaushal the ability to catch certain eye conditions in their early stages so that treatment can begin promptly, saving the patient from possible vision loss or unwanted symptoms.
At Comprehensive Retina Consultants in Ocala, FL led and directed by Dr. Shalesh Kaushal, we utilize the latest diagnostic tools to detect early retinal diseases such as detachments, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more. An accurate diagnosis can now be made faster, allowing our patients to get in and out and on with their everyday activities.
What to Expect
Prior to using the fundus camera, Dr. Kaushal may dilate your pupils, which will help provide a more expanded view of the back of the eye. Fundus photography combines a low power microscope with an attached camera that will take photos of the retina as you sit upright and look ahead. Near the testing station, images will appear on a large 3D screen, which allows Dr. Kaushal to further magnify and manipulate the microscope to get a better understanding of your retinal health. There is no downtime associated with the photography. The testing process is quick, simple, and fairly painless.
"He is the best there is he has treated me for almost a year.I don't mind waiting when I have the best doctor and he's out for my best interest and I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes so he's just an awesome doctor he's worth the wait trustI me ??"- S.T. / Google / Dec 04, 2018
"Dr Kaushal is highly knowledgeable and personable. I have trusted my vision to his excellent care for many years."- B.B. / Google / Nov 04, 2018
"Excellent, Caring Doctor - I have seen a lot of eye doctors due to my diagnosis, but Dr. Kaushal is one of the most knowledgeable, as well as one of the most caring. He takes time to answer all my questions and genuinely cares about my treatment and outcome."- Anonymous / Vitals / Aug 07, 2017
"Five Stars - Dr. Kaushal is phenomenal. Would never see any other doctor."- Anonymous / Vitals / Dec 29, 2015
"He is a Great Doctor. And a good hearted person"- L.S. / Google / Dec 13, 2015
After Treatment
Because the eyes are dilated prior to this test, most patients will need someone to drive them home. Since the images are detailed and immediate, Dr. Kaushal will be able to determine if any abnormalities are present rather quickly. From there, he will assess and create a treatment plan according to the specific diagnosis. Each patient is treated uniquely, thus every treatment is catered depending on the condition, stage, symptoms, and overall health of the patient. Dr. Kaushal will have a range of options available to effectively treat your particular condition.
Find out More
Contact Comprehensive Retina Consultants today for a consultation with Dr. Kaushal to learn more about the advantages of fundus photography. This is an advanced tool offered by our retina practice and is a great way to check the overall health and function of your retina, and determine if there are any problems that need to be addressed.

Hello friends!
I am back with my second post as Guest Designer for The Flower Challenge this month. The theme for this month's challenge is to use your favourite flower. So for both cards, I am using Clearly Besotted "To You With Love". To see my first post, click here. I have used this stamp so many times, but for both my Guest Design posts, I have used it with a different design or with a different medium.
I decided to go for a winter theme for my card today.
I began by stamping (and masking) the image around the top corner of the card and heat embossing with gold embossing powder.
I started to colour the leaves using my lightest green Zig marker – this helps me to see the image start to take shape. I then took the red marker and proceeded to colour the blooms. I work in layers, leaving them to dry in between. The same with the leaves – it really is just a case of working your way around the images, almost systematically although that is not my strong point! For the flowers I only used one colour marker but on the final layer, I pretty much just added the pigment without using much water at all. I now own all "red" Zigs and none of them are red, they are all pink tones!!!
Once the colouring was finished, I wanted to add a bit of a dramatic/wintry look so I took the grey Zig marker and added pigment around the edges of the leaves and flowers, darker in some places. Once dry, I added a little more grey here and there.
I then heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder. The "to you" I added using second generation stamping as I didn't want a stark black ink and I don't have a dark grey.
Finally I added some dewdrops from Pretty Pink Posh.
We are looking forward to seeing all your entries for this month. Don't forget there are prizes up for grabs too!
Thank you very much to Aileen and all the Design Team members for making me so welcome. Please do hop over to see their cards – the provide so much inspiration every month.
I will be back soon with another project. As always I hope you have a great week.

RapidDeploy Announces Series A Financing
RapidDeploy Raises $12 Million to Accelerate Growth of its Cloud-Aided Emergency Dispatch Platform
Austin, TX, February 11, 2019 – RapidDeploy, whose cloud-based software enables public safety officials to reduce emergency response times and improve situational awareness, has raised $12 million in Series A financing. GreatPoint Ventures and Samsung NEXT provided the Round A funds, enabling RapidDeploy to accelerate the development and deployment of its Cloud Aided DispatchTM platform.
"We are excited to partner with seasoned technology investors who have proven experience in scaling software and technology," said Steven Raucher, RapidDeploy CEO and co-founder. "RapidDeploy is on a mission to democratize public safety and will now enter a new stage of growth."
Ray Lane, Managing Partner at GreatPoint Ventures and former President and COO of Oracle, will join RapidDeploy's Board of Directors. "We are thrilled to join the RapidDeploy team. Modernizing the first-responder ecosystem with cloud-based dispatch technologies will enable public safety organizations to perform faster and seamlessly across jurisdictions," said Lane.
"Together with RapidDeploy, Samsung is building the first-responder technology of the future," said Raymond Liao, VP and Ventures Managing Director at Samsung NEXT. "We are excited about RapidDeploy's products and first-responder culture, which complement Samsung's end-to-end solution to public safety including smart devices and public safety LTE infrastructure demanded by emergency service providers."
Designed by first responders, RapidDeploy uses modern cloud-based technology that solves key challenges faced by emergency service providers who often are slowed down by legacy infrastructure. RapidDeploy's Cloud Aided DispatchTM technology is more reliable, faster to deploy, more cost-effective, and richer in interfaces and features than outdated, on-premise computer-aided dispatch software.
Last August, AT&T announced that it was teaming up with RapidDeploy to provide 9-1-1 centers access to RapidDeploy's cloud-based platform. Since then, RapidDeploy has assembled a core team of US-based public-safety industry leaders who are passionate to drive innovation and improve emergency communications, and opened its global headquarters in downtown Austin, TX, earlier this year.
About RapidDeploy
RapidDeploy is the market leader in Cloud Aided Dispatch (CAD) and 9-1-1 analytics software. The RapidDeploy platform is rich in location-based features and interfaces, easy to deploy and affordable for agencies of all sizes. RapidDeploy was built by First Responders using modern Microsoft Azure Government Cloud architecture, providing mission critical reliability, cybersecurity and state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence. RapidDeploy's mission is to reduce response times for all and improve first responder safety by increasing situational awareness. Learn more at www.RapidDeploy.com.

As a family owned business, the staff here at puddlejumpers is like one big family. We're a tight-knit group who loves working together - and nothing makes you love your job like loving the people you work with.
We recently welcomed Heather to the team - some of you may know her as Emily's little sister! She's been a blast, and we couldn't be more excited to have her on board!
Shortly after Heather joined us, we had another position open up at the store, and weren't really sure where to start looking for the right person to fill it. Despite some skepticism, we decided to give Craigslist a shot - and it TOTALLY paid off! We interviewed Kaitlyn and Tori (among a few others), and couldn't bear to choose just one - so we hired both!
These three girls are amazing, and we know everyone will love them as much as we do. They've done a fantastic job so far (they even made it through their first Sidewalk Sale intact!), so stop in, say hello, and tell them what a great job they're doing!

Three Treasures Yoga is proud to have three different instructors, each sharing their own voice, style and pulse around the world. Beyond our teacher trainings, Massimo, Molly and Wade are creating workshops, retreats and other trainings to share yoga, create community and bring clarity and purpose back in view. Take a look at their individual projects here. "We travel not to escape life, but rather for life not to escape us."
Retreats with MOLLY
I am poignantly reminded of how stepping away from our "norm" from time to time can sometimes be the best medicine that we can take. I have found that the combination of yoga practice, elements of Chinese medicine and other healing traditions and cultural immersion is a powerful vehicle for refreshing, re-nourishing and re-inspiring our lives. Stepping out of our normal, every day routine is the perfect way to see life from new perspectives. Even if you have a wonderful life, travel is an extraordinary way to experience new cultures, meet new people and to be exposed to aspects of life that you never imagined. Combining this with a daily mindfulness practice becomes a powerful tool for growth, empowerment, creativity, healing and rejuvenation. In yoga, we endeavor to embrace each moment with a sense of wonder and curiosity, as if each moment were a new experience. Traveling reminds us strongly of what this feels like, so that when we return home to a familiar setting we can more easily carry with us a sense of wonder and clarity.
Molly creates and hosts different types of retreats around the world, from service based explorations and dedicated healing retreats to more easy going yoga holidays. Join her on the road, and explore the yoga of life!
Retreats with MASSIMO
I have been organizing yoga vacations and yoga retreats for over 20 years in several countries in Europe. In this period I have acquired a lot of experience and in 2014 gave birth to "Holismos Yoga Holidays". I love yoga and I enjoy the practice in beautiful natural settings. With this project I intend to share the passion and love for yoga with others, experiencing, with new friends, an interesting, relaxing and enjoyable holiday. With great care I have chosen for you the best possible location at the best possible price. I love to share the beauty of these places with people that likewise, believe in the value of practice, wellness, relaxation, friendship and evolution.
Retreats with WADE
Wade leads yoga retreats around the world and believes that as we explore other countries and cultures we can truly understand humanity in it's fullness. His love for adventure, language and spirituality, along with his 25+ years of traveling the globe inspire him to share these gifts with others. The retreat destinations change every year offering a variety of locations to experience and check off the bucket list!
Each of his retreats are Vinyasa Flow based and showcase the other limbs of yoga, whether it be meditation, dharma, bhakti or even Thai yoga. The community he has cultivated for these journeys keep coming back again and again, as friendships and bonds are truly special. Check out the link below and see if one of these retreats is calling you!

I don't like correction. There I said it. I like to be right. More importantly, I like it even more when you think I am right. By openly admitting these things I have also shown a propensity for stupidity. This is but another reminder of the danger of being wise in my own eyes. If I care most about being right, I care most about myself. This is not wisdom but stupidity.
If I am to learn, I must first love discipline and rebuke. When I recoil at the correction and rebuke of those closest to me, I make myself weak. Instead of trying to find a way to challenge a rebuke, God wants me to first learn from that rebuke. Why is my child or my spouse angry with me? It is easy to say that they are wrong. It is harder to say, what is my part in this. Am I really stupid enough to think that my actions are always wise, loving and perfect, so much so that no one could think badly of me?

I love ribs. I cannot explain to you how much I love ribs. I am a rib connoisseur. Okay, not really, but I pretend to be one. ANYWHO. I love ribs. And so I made some.
That was a full rack of ribs. I tried pulling them out of the Crock Pot in one piece, but they were so tender, that just wasn't happening. So, I had to deal with them being in pieces. I do have to say, these were the easiest ribs I've ever made. I actually combined instructions from two recipes, so I'm just going to call it the way I did it. (I can't find the link to the other one, sorry!)
(serves 2-4 depending on how hungry people are)
You'll need:
Rack of pork ribs
16oz of beef broth
16 oz of your favorite BBQ sauce
Large Crock Pot
Cookie sheet
Tin foil
Some sort of rack
Basting brush
Make sure your ribs are fully thawed. This is super important. If they are not thawed, wait until they are.
Plop your ribs into the Crock Pot, thick side resting on the wall. Pour your beef broth, then BBQ sauce all over the ribs. You might want to save a little BBQ sauce for later. Set on low, leave it alone for seven hours.
Seven hours later, come back to inspect your ribs. They should be done. If you feel they are not done, cook a bit more. If they are done, line a cookie sheet (one with edges) with tin foil, and then place some sort of rack across it. I didn't have a fancy meat rack, so I used a cooling rack. I don't recommend it, though.
Carefully, very very carefully, pull your ribs out of the Crock Pot. They will be hot, and they will be very tender, and will fall apart. I couldn't get mine out whole. Lay them on your cookie sheet-tin foil-rack get up, with the "inside" (aka less meat side) facing up. Put it to the side.
See all that stuff still swimming around in your Crock Pot? Yeah, you're still gonna use it. Get a small sauce pan and a mesh strainer, and strain that yummy stuff into the sauce pan. Bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes, depending on your patience.
Now that your sauce is done simmering, brush that goodness all over your ribs. My ribs were a little dry, so I just let it pool on the ribs. Turn on your broiler (mine was at 525ºF) and place your ribs in there for 3-4 minutes. Pull them out, flip 'em over, and then put MORE of the sauce on there. This time, broil them for 9 minutes.
Pull them out, brush more of the original BBQ sauce on there, and serve.

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in St Louis, MO
Burger Law represents Motorcycle Accident Victims throughout Missouri and Illinois
Motorcycle Accident Attorney in St Louis, MO. Burger Law is a team of personal injury lawyers that specialize in all areas of personal injury including motorcycle accident cases. Every year in America 4,000 people die, and 80,000 are injured in motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists are at a significantly higher risk of injury or death when another driver does not pay attention and causes an accident because they're offered little protection and forces on a rider's body are great. Although a much smaller portion of motorists on the road are motorcyclists, motorcycle riders are 30 times more likely to die in a crash and five times more likely to be injured when compared to automobile drivers.
Often automobile drivers don't pay enough attention to motorcycles and do not appreciate their obligations to motorcyclists. Failure to keep a careful lookout, violating road signs and signals, failing to yield the right away, speeding, inattention, or drug and alcohol use are often encountered in motorcycle accident claims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, allow the Gary Burger and his associates to fight for the compensation you deserve.
The Motorcycle Accident Lawyers at Burger Law have recovered millions of dollars to compensate victims of motorcycle accidents for injuries and damages caused by the negligent acts of another individual. When someone injures another person due to carelessness, they should be held responsible for the damages they've caused.

What Type of Injuries Can a Motorcyclist Sustain in an Accident?
Motorcyclists are extremely likely to be injured when a car or truck weighing thousands of tons collides with them, and injuries sustained as a result can last a lifetime. Even relatively minor injuries, such as bruises, broken bones, and road rash, can be painful and expensive to treat, and they can put a motorcyclist out of work for an extended period of time. Motorcyclists may never be able to return to work if they sustain one or more of the following injuries:
- Brain damage
- Head, neck, or spinal cord trauma
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Dismemberment
- Burns
- Permanent nerve damage
A serious motorcycle crash can leave you out of commission for a long period of time. Some injuries can even leave riders unable to walk or care for themselves. Injuries and conditions impacting the spinal cord or brain may leave a person fully or partially paralyzed, and in need of medical care for the rest of their lives. During this time, medical bills can start to rack up. If you want to obtain the compensation you need to pay your bills and maintain your lifestyle, a St. Louis motorcycle accident lawyer may be able to help. Let us advocate for you. Speak with a motorcycle wreck attorney with Burger Law today about your motorcycle accident claim.
Motorcycle Accident Lawyer St. Louis
Can I sue for my Motorcycle Accident if it didn't involve another vehicle?
If a state or municipality fails to keep their roadways clear and safe for travelers, and your motorcycle accident happened because of an obstacle on the road or debris that caused your motorcycle to lose traction, you can pursue legal actions to recover damages. Every motorcycle accident claim is different, and some claims can be more complex and difficult than others. Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers can take on your claim and guide you through the complexities of local and state laws to ensure that you get 100% of the care and recovery you deserve. We don't charge any fees unless we win your claim.
Motorcycle Crash Attorney in St. Louis
Responsibility of Motorists
Drivers are legally and morally obligated to exercise a reasonable degree of care by adhering to traffic laws and keeping their eyes on the road at all times. Unfortunately, motorcycle crashes are relatively common throughout the country, especially in areas where drivers are not used to sharing the road with motorcyclists.
If a driver fails to exercise their duty of care, whether due to intoxication, inexperience, or inattentiveness, they may crash into a law-abiding motorcyclist. Since drivers are required by law to remain aware of motorcyclists, they can be held liable in court for any injuries and property damage they cause by an experienced St. Louis motorcycle accident lawyer.
True Cost of Reckless Driving
Virtually everyone agrees on one thing: motorcycle accident injuries can be deadly. Accidents have the capacity to permanently disable riders and prevent them from ever living a normal life. To add insult to injury, motorcyclists are often faced with astronomical medical bills after being hit, and particularly serious injuries can lead to lifelong medical costs totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one should have to pay for such costs when they are not responsible for the accident in the first place.
By working with a St. Louis motorcycle wreck lawyer, motorcyclists can fight for their right to receive compensation for their physical pain and emotional suffering.

$495,000 Uninsured Motorcycle VerdictGary Burger tried for Kim Wensler against Kim's own insurance company who refused to settle the uninsured motorist claim. Kim was riding a motorcycle on a dirt road in rural Missouri when a truck came going the other way. Kim skidded, lost control and went under the truck and was injured. Her injuries were severe and her medical was high. She suffered some fractured ribs, lacerated spleen injuries to other internal organs. She had to undergo surgery and was left with approximately $60,000 in medical bills. The defendant strongly contended that she should not have been driving the motorcycle and caused the accident by her own negligence. However, the jury did not believe this defense and agreed with our position (and the real facts) that the defendant had crossed the center line and had caused the accident. The jury returned a verdict for $500,000 apportioning 5% fault on the Plaintiff and 95% on the Defendant resulting in a verdict of $475,000.Continue Reading

text: The Andean Teal is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the much more widespread Yellow-billed Teal (Anas flavirostris), which occurs over much of the southern third of South America. In contrast, the Andean Teal is confined to the Andes of southwest Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru, where it is largely confined to elevations above 3500. Throughout its range, the Andean Teal appears to be sparsely distributed, generally rather uncommon, and probably declining. Compared to the much more numerous Yellow-billed Teal, the Andean Teal has a blue-gray or dark gray bill, and has more uniformly dark plumage.

To Arthur! Guinness Scones
Last year, to celebrate 250 years since Guinness was invented, Diageo announced that the 23rd September would be Arthur's Day. Obviously they raked in a ton of cash, and decided to make it a yearly event.
Now I hate the Black Stuff. Can't stand beer of any kind, in fact, but I felt pretty stupid last year in the pub raising my vodka diet coke while all around me pints of Guinness were sailing through the air. So this year, I decided to join in by making Guinness scones. I had tried Guinness bread before and quite liked it – I suppose the yeasty taste I dislike in a drink is more appropriate in a bread.
I found this recipe Googling 'Guinness scones' – I was encouraged by the description of the scones as 'a version of the popular Irish soda bread', and the sentence 'the Irish enjoy the taste of soda' amused me.
So I put the scones together, following the ingredients from the recipe but more or less using my own quantities; perhaps I was a bit cocky with my scone-making abilities, after all I have only been scone blogging for 2 months.
Anyway, into the oven they went and after 10 minutes or so they came out looking all rustic and delicious. I pulled one apart, handed a chunk to the official taster and took a bite myself. They were delicious. Ok, that was a lie. They were disgusting. I looked at the OT who had a panicked look on his face, wondering what he had done wrong to be punished like this.
Perhaps all the talk of soda in the recipe was what led me to go a little bit overboard with the bicarbonate of soda. It was my first time using it as an ingredient and I didn't have self-raising wholemeal flour, so I was worried about the scones not rising. I can now assert that my Irishman at least does not 'enjoy the taste of soda'.
I'm quite disappointed that the first scones I made in our new kitchen were such a disaster. The official taster did say that with a little less soda he thought they would be pretty good, bless him, and as I still have more than half a can of Guinness left, he encouraged me to try again. We'll see.
Edit: I did try again – see the second attempt here…
23, September, 2010 11:51 am
At least they rose… It's good to try these things out! I'm going to have a crack at your chilli scones this weekend! On a side note I love Guinness… Lx
23, September, 2010 6:28 pm
hi there!!! Thanks for dropping me a message on my raspberry scone post. I think they might be the perfect ones for you to practice "dropping" with. I, in no way, made them perfectly round like all the yummy ones you have on here. I'm so excited that you are doing this blog. I {heart} scones! 🙂
26, September, 2010 8:00 pm
and you said my scones were interesting! i think these could be really good. you should try again for sure!
30, September, 2010 1:59 pm
I am so glad to have found your blog! I am going to have to try these Guinness scones–love Guinness baked goods 🙂
