With the recent tragedy of a homeless couple in Greenfield freezing to death and the growing struggle with shelters' limited capacities that was highlighted by the Daily Hampshire Gazette's January 19th article headlined "'No backup option': Shelters at their limits during winter," the problem of homelessness in this community looms larger than ever. As an intern at Amherst Community Connections and as a member of this community that has failed to support and protect some of its most vulnerable members, I feel obligated to share my views on the current crisis, in the hopes of drawing attention to some of its most important yet overlooked aspects. In my opinion, both news on the deaths and shelters' failures point to a single, straight-forward truth: Emergency shelters on their own can no longer maintain their efficacy as buffers to homelessness. Rather, they must be used in tandem with a more fundamental approach towards solving homelessness, that is affordable housing.
The key difference between emergency shelter and affordable housing lies in their respective stages of intervention. In the chain of events leading up to an individual becoming homeless, emergency shelters come in at the very end, as a final measure to provide immediate, short-term relief. Affordable housing, on the other hand, tackles homelessness from its very roots, by preventing an individual from becoming homeless to begin with, or returning an individual who has become homeless back to his or her initial stability. If shelters aim to "manage" homelessness, affordable housing aims to "solve" it—Ultimately, the only solution to homelessness is to provide the homeless with homes, and affordable housing is the most direct means to achieve that end goal.
Affordable housing also comes with cost benefits. According to the Massachusetts Housing & Shelter Alliance, average Medicaid, shelter and incarceration costs are known to drop by approximately $13,000 per tenant each year once the individual is introduced to stable housing and support services.[1] This evidence suggests that affordable housing measures are more cost effective than emergency shelters due to their long-term stabilizing effects. Homeless people, including those at shelters, are more susceptible to mental and physical debilitation, which lead to more frequent medical mishaps and incarcerations. Affordable housing cuts down on these additional expenses through providing the mental and physical stability that homeless people need to rehabilitate themselves. In this way, one of the greatest advantages of affordable housing lies in its conduciveness to rehabilitation. In contrast, shelters are limited via their very construct as temporary spaces intended to provide a night's sleep, rather than a long-term support system.
In light of such efficacy of affordable housing, public policies and programs become ever more significant in making affordable housing accessible. The Gazette article's mention of the "Housing First" program hints at ongoing local efforts to promote permanent housing. The Housing First Program organized by Amherst Community Connections is one example of such efforts that tackle homelessness at grass-roots level. The program works by providing chronically homeless Amherst residents with housing vouchers that include wrap-around supportive services.
On the other hand, efforts to solve homelessness on the state level tend to be more diluted across numerous initiatives, including shelters and affordable housing. In a 2016 MASSlive article about homeless shelters in Western Massachusetts, Friends of the Homeless shelter stated its average cost to be around $42 per bed per night, out of which approximately $26 is financed through state funding and the rest through fundraisers and grants.[2] This indicates that the state's funding for shelters falls far behind the actual needed amount. More importantly, it is notable how the shelter's cost of supporting an individual amounts to a total of around $1,260/month. The fact that this exceeds the typical monthly rent of a one-bedroom apartment in Amherst illustrates the problem with emergency shelter as a long-term intervention: it would be more cost-effective and beneficial to those concerned with homelessness to invest in affordable housing and other interventions that address the affordable housing gap, rather than emergency shelters.
With the abundance of organizations, policies, and systems that are already in place for tackling homelessness, it is imperative to see how these individual components may work most effectively in relation to one another, and to allocate our resources accordingly. While shelters are an indispensable part of the support system for homeless people, they should be perceived and utilized as intermediary sites with the active aim of connecting their beneficiaries to affordable housing. Only through tackling homelessness from its roots, that is the scarcity and inaccessibility of affordable housing, can we resolve the current strain placed on emergency shelters, as well as achieve long-term advances towards eradicating homelessness. Whether that be through bolstering local, grassroots efforts like those executed at Amherst Community Connections, through increasing federal and state funding for housing, or something different all together, is left to the consideration of all concerned individuals and communities, as well as the state and nation as a whole.

Implant Retained Dentures
If you're missing your natural teeth in either one or both arches, you may have experienced a variety of complications that impact your daily life. You may have difficulty speaking clearly or enjoying your favorite foods, and you may feel insecure or embarrassed around others at times when you would normally laugh or smile proudly. You may also notice shifting among your remaining teeth, muscular issues, and headaches. Inevitably, the bony ridge that used to support your teeth will become flatter and narrower as it lacks the stimulation from your tooth roots. While conventional dentures have been a great option for some patients, they eventually become loose and ill-fitting as your gums and jawbone change shape. We at Mettler & Griego Family Dentistry are proud to offer our patients a better solution. Implant Retained Dentures can provide comfort, relief, and confidence if you are unsatisfied with traditional dentures. Implant Retained Dentures can replace both upper and lower teeth, depending on your needs, and give you a completely natural-looking solution that is more comfortable and reliable than traditional dentures.
What Are Implant Retained Dentures
Implant retained dentures are a set of dentures that are specially made to clip or snap onto dental implants. They'll snap into place securely and remain there all day until you remove them at the end of the day for cleaning. Your new dentures will feel strong, stable, and restore your ability to eat and socialize confidently. Implant retained dentures are often a cost-effective solution for our patients who are unhappy with traditional dentures. Often, only two to four dental implants are needed to hold a lower denture in place. Lower dentures are usually the most problematic because they must rest on only your bottom bony ridge for support and retention. An upper implant retained denture may require more dental implants, but, unlike traditional dentures, your upper plate will be uncovered. Upper implants are made in a horseshoe shape, just like a lower denture, and it'll feel less bulky. Also, leaving the upper palate bare keeps your taste buds there exposed. With a new set of implant retained dentures, you'll be able to enjoy a meal with confidence and the food will taste better!
There are many options for the exact type of implant retained denture that may be right for you, including bar-attachment, locator-attached, and screw-retained. Each comes with its certain benefits, but all will clip your dentures in place and keep them secure, and each can and should be removed for cleaning each night. We invite you to call us at (623) 562-5230 to schedule a consultation for implant retained dentures and begin a process that could vastly improve your quality of life.
Am I a Candidate for Implant Retained Dentures?
Most people are suitable candidates for this treatment, even if you're a bit older, so long as you are in reasonably good health. Dr. Mettler will assess your oral and general health, and discuss with you which implant retained denture solution is right for your smile.

News & Updates
We were able this week to celebrate a major announcement that will benefit not just Huntsville but I think will have a ripple effect across the state of Alabama. Blue Origin, an aerospace company founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, plans to build rocket engines in Huntsville in a new 400,000-square foot facility.
This puts us in the position to truly become the Propulsion Capital of the World, with the work that takes place at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, at the United Launch Alliance facility in Decatur and with many other companies connected to that effort. When the United States sends rockets into deep space and to Mars, Alabama is where the lift-off will begin.
People have asked me "What's your secret?" when it comes to attracting a major company like Blue Origin, or others like Remington, Polaris and Toyota Motor Manufacturing that have joined our business community in recent years.
Well, if it was a secret, I couldn't tell you. Really, it's just teamwork and hard work, and a little bit of history thrown in.
When Blue Origin reached out to us, we knew they were looking at up to 30 different communities. Then, as everybody else who approaches us asks, they wanted to see what it would cost them and what incentives we could provide.
We took a group to see Gov. Bentley and expressed to him the importance and potential in a company like Blue Origin coming to our area, and he agreed. The state made a good offer of incentives, which we must do to remain competitive against other parts of the country.
Then, specific to Huntsville, we proved we were a place where they could attract a millennial workforce. What we had just committed to do with our MidCity development, where people could work, live and play, piqued their interest because Blue Origin would be located close by.
We showed them that we had the technical expertise, meeting with people at UAH and at NASA. They met with the Chamber of Commerce and other civic leaders. It was a true team effort. Every segment that touched the propulsion industry came together.
Huntsville has the reputation of having rocket scientists and PhDs as the only workforce in the area, and we're proud of them and the integral part they play in our nation's defense and space programs. But many of the new jobs are 21st Century manufacturing jobs, and with the right leadership, we can bring advanced manufacturing to all areas of the state.
We touted our two-year colleges to Blue Origin, and we brought in Dr. Jimmy Baker, the chancellor of the Alabama Community College System. We showed that we had the expertise to produce rocket engines, whether it's a welder or machinist or tool-and-die worker, through graduates from our two-year colleges.
The hard work, once they named us as their choice, was to come up with the development agreement to protect the taxpayers. There is a "clawback" mechanism in place where our investments are returned if the company doesn't fulfill its promises. The good news: In nine years of bringing new development to Huntsville, our administration has never had to use that clause.
I talked earlier about history. The deal with Blue Origin was built on the foundation blocks put in 20, 30 even 50 years ago with the arrival of NASA and the creation of Cummings Research Park and UAH. What we're doing now is planting foundation blocks for the next 20, 30 even 50 years.
Partnering with Blue Origin will launch all of Alabama to even greater heights.

Some of the best friendships tend to have circuitous journeys. Such is the case with my relationship with Georg. For those that may not know the story, Craigslist brought us together a few years back when we both ended up in Boulder and randomly found the listing for the same apartment (He moved from Germany to write his thesis in aerospace engineering at CU. I moved from Texas because, why not?). After discussing the idea of us getting married to exchange German and American citizenships, he found Lenee. Pretty much immediately these discussions stopped and – seeing the way he looked at her – I knew I'd have to fend for myself to find european citizenship.
Long story short, they kept dating after Georg finished his thesis and moved back to Germany and I knew it was only a matter of time before it became official. Luckily I was in the process of relocating to Spain and got to visit Georg a couple times in Germany before he told me they were engaged and he would soon head back overseas to live with Lenee in Virginia. While sitting outside in Stuttgart last December, beer in hand, he told me the wedding date and last week I reconnected in Colorado with him and Lenee, as well as family and friends to celebrate the occasion.
I left the camera out of reach so as to just enjoy the weekend, but inevitably, eventually a few photos were made.

There are a lot of really clever inventions out there, mainly due to (and sometimes in spite of) the efforts of a lot of really clever people. Are you one of them?
Are you clever enough to figure out a way to indicate the level of water in a rainwater tank using nothing other than String and Rocks, two of the four fundamental Blokian Elements?
I'll even give you a hint: It looks exactly like this:
As the water level inside the tank increases or decreases, the external red pointer (seen on the white pole near the center of the photo) rises or falls to indicate the actual water level to within a couple of millimeters. How does it work?
I have seen fluid level sensors that use mechanical floats, electromagnetic transducers, ultrasonic sensors, capacitive sensors, induction sensors, thermal sensors, Vessel Resonance Depth Gauges and differential pressure depth gauges. But this is the first one I've encountered that uses only string and rocks. Talk about Low Tech, you don't get much lower than that. Unless it were using just Rocks and nothing more.
The depth of a hole, canyon or gorge can be determined using only a rock. Drop the rock over the edge and count "One-hippopotamus, Two-hippopotamus, ..." until the rock hits something. Then square the number of hippopotami. That is the depth of the canyon in rods. To get feet, multiply by 16. To get meters, multiply by 4.905 instead. What could be simpler than that?
If you can describe to me how this tank level indicator operates using only String and Rocks, I will add your name to the Blokian Honor Roll in a future post that reveals the answer. A diagram is useful. Click on the "About Me" link in the left sidebar to send me your entry.
And don't forget to do your Christmas Shopping!

Papua New Guinea KINA Bank like any other financial and commercial banks is confident to be at the forefront in offering banking services.
Last Thursday's business breakfast hosted at the Royal Papua Yacht Club was fruitful as the bank gave updates on their view of the economy and also plans to boost its operations.
"So for very good, we've had good growth over the past two years and that is continuing and we are also making a lot of changes in introducing new products," said Kina Bank's treasurer and head of markets Nathan Wingti.
"We are quite confident about the future."
Asked to comment on the bank's view on the economy, Mr. Wingti said it is probably too early to tell on what the outlook will be with regards to the impact of the Liquefied Natural Gas shutdown.
"Our main message to customers is to make sure you stay close and continually assess what is coming through the market, talk to bankers and just be careful about your forward commitments around foreign exchange for the future," he said.
He said as for Kina Bank they are confident as they been progressing strongly and also are confident in business and trading over the next 12 months.
Kina Bank has its own research team based in the Kina funds management business that issue out regular economic and market reports (quarterly market reports including the weekly market updates).
"In terms of PNG Macro outlook basing on what we released in our last quarterly outlook report, we talked about GDP and our view is pretty much consistent with what other commentators and institutions are focusing," said Mr. Wingti.
Domestic consumption is high with Mr Wingti pointed out that there are some sectors doing well while others were struggling. Post Courier/ONE PNG

Haptic Connections
Guilana Bruno is a Harvard Professor and author on topics such as visual art, architecture, and film. In her book Surface: Matters of Aesthetics, Materiality, and Media she explores the similarities between movie theaters and art museums.
She develops a case for the importance of exhibition design. That it's not just about what you exhibit but how you present it that matters. Here are some of my take aways from her book:
- Museums and cinema both include spectatorship.
- They are solo activities that encourage intimacy while in public.
- Viewers in both venues are encouraged to explore their memory and imagination.
- Cinemas require a still audience whose train of thought is activated by the sequence of images on the screen.
- In an art museum the viewer moves through the space and takes as much time as they'd like with a sequence of imagery.
The author continues by exploring the increased introduction of projections, screens, and films in the art museum setting, and how this influences the viewer. In these cases the museum-goer moves through the sequence of still works, then encounters a projected film featuring a rotation of imagery. After variable viewing time the viewer is encouraged to continue moving through subsequent galleries. This combination of the movement from museums, with the allotted time of cinema creates a dynamic experience for the viewer. She ties this back to understanding how bodies interrelate with environments and how that supports the message of the work.

TSA condemns KPLF/KPLAs diktat on TSA Moreh; serves ultimatum for withdrawal of diktat
February 2, 2018
The Thadou Students Association General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ) strongly condemns the vile, irrational and unlawful diktat of an armed militant group, the Kuki People Liberation Front/Kuki People Liberation Army (KPLF/KPLA), that leaders of TSA Moreh block must resign before May 15, 2018 or they will face dire consequences. The diktat without any specific or valid reason was issued by one Demkhoneh, Information & Publicity Secretary, KPLF/KPLA, and it appeared in Eimi Times on January 28, 2018.
This is indirect and total violation of fundamental rights of citizens, as guaranteed in the constitution, to form or join any lawful association anywhere in India. This is also a direct sabotage on democracy and rule of law, undermining freedom.
In this connection, James Mate, Secretary, Information and Publicity, KPLF/KPLA-MC, has issued a clarification (published in Eimi Times, January 31), disowning and condemning the diktat issued against TSA. While maintaining that there is no KPLF/KPLA other than them, the KPLF/KPLA-MC claimed that the diktat was the handiwork of KNA/KNO faking as KPLF/KPLA. While the KNA/KNO, a SoO signatory armed group, has not made any clarification regarding this matter, TSA thanks the KPLF/KPLA (MC) for their timely clarification.
For the record, the KNA/KNO for no reason had previously threatened Thadou cultural troupe, Moreh, and forcibly stopped them from attending the Thadou Cultural (Hun) festival in 2016. The KNA/KNO cadres had also intimidated and assaulted TSA leaders at Kangvai in Churachandpur district in November 2014 during TSA protest over the issue of Moreh Haolenphai land grabbing attempt.
TSA has taken up legitimate cases or issues, and will continue to do so, in the best interest of the public and the community, but it is not and never against any particular group or organisation. We would like to make it clear that TSA, as a legitimate voluntary civil society organisation committed to noble cause, is for the welfare of students and the whole community among Thadou tribe and beyond. We would also like to make it clear that TSA has the right to exist and operate in any areas inhabited by Thadou community.
TSA is more than happy to discuss and would like to encourage anyone, any organisation or any group to come forward if they have any problem with TSA on any valid or relevant issue. We will, however, not tolerate any form of terrorism, harm or intimidation by any individual or organisation against leaders or members of TSA or Thadou community and we will fight for justice in any such cases.
While TSA respects and acknowledges the role and good work of all other organisations or groups, whether armed or unarmed, we would like to ask the same and request all not to interfere unnecessarily in the affairs of TSA or any Thadou organisation, but support TSA in larger interest, or else mind their own business.
TSA would like to fervently ask the KPLF/KPLA or any responsible group to clarify and withdraw their diktat in the same newspaper that they issued their diktat on or before the 15th of February 2018, failing which TSA will lodge complaints with the government authority, and also will not hesitate to launch agitations, for befitting stern action against the group for peace, justice and protection of freedom and the constitution. If any untoward incident happens to any TSA leaders or its supporters, the KPLF/KPLA or KNA/KNO will be solely held responsible.

Eminent Nigerians and a European Union (EU) diplomat have thrown their weights behind the 'Book over Tray' advocacy championed by a non-governmental organisation, the Green Heart Impact Foundation (GHIF), which advocates more investments in quality education for children, especially the girl-child.
The 'Book over Tray' initiative, according to GHIF President, Munira Suleiman Tanimu, is aimed at taking girl hawkers from JSS1 to SS3 in every state off the street and enrolling them in school while also empowering their mothers.
Speaking at the GHIF Gala Night held in Abuja, EU Deputy Head of Delegation to Nigeria, Richard Young, former Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Zainab Maina, and Chairperson of Better Life Programme for the African Rural Women, Aisha Babangida, made cases for improved funding and collaboration for the girl-child education as a major way of achieving fairer and more egalitarian society.
EU Deputy Head of Delegation to Nigeria, Richard Young, said abuse and maltreatment of the girl-child impeded their intellectual advancement in the society and restricted opportunities that they should have.
"We are all conscious that we do have a problem with the way young girls and women are abused and maltreated, and that is where we are here. We see this in statistics and numbers but I'm sure that we see it in our friends, colleagues and families," he said.
Young added that with increased funding for girl-child and more collaborative efforts to empower more women, like the GHIF was doing, "We can begin to have a better Nigeria for all."
Hajia Maina, praised GHIF for taking on the burden the girl-hawkers had to bear for their families.
She said: "We have culture and tradition that sometimes is very difficult to change. I believe that with young women and men and with constant advocacy we are going to change it. We are changing it with NGOs like GHIF, who are helping parents because most of these girls hawking are doing so because their parents send them out to look for money to feed the family but if they can be empowered the way GHIF is going, I am sure we can change the narrative."
Tanimu said the driving force behind the No-to-child-hawking initiative was borne out of her desire to ensure every girl-child of school age attain their full potential.
"Our organisation is training 52 girls on full scholarships covering tuition, monthly allowance, books, school uniform, and mattresses. We have also empowered 52 mothers, so that they can resist the temptation of withdrawing their girls back to street hawking. This project is fully-funded by GHIF," Tanimu said.
Babangida called on major stakeholders to continue to raise awareness and collaborate with more NGOs to get more girls back to school.
A highpoint of the event was the conferment of an honorary award on the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi for his consistent advocacy for girl-child education.

Basics Of Editing
The Simplest Way To Edit A Page
When you click on the edit option of a page it will redirect you to an edit box. Right above it is a toolbar containing the essential functions to editing a page including making text bold, italicized, and creating new section headlines. This is the easiest way to get started quickly. For more advanced functions, see below.
Creating A New Section
Wiki articles are formatted just like an outline. There are section headings and various degrees of sub-headings. To create a new section heading (such as the one that this paragraph is featured in), use double equal signs (==) on both sides of the text that you want to appear in the heading. To create a subheading under that use three equal signs (===) on both sides of the text you want to feature in the subheading.
A table of contents is automatically generated after a certain number of headings is created.
Formatting Text
Formatting your text helps to organize your ideas and emphasize words or phrases. Here is a simple explanation of basic text formatting...
Bold Text
To make text bold, use triple apostrophes on each side of the word.
You would type: '''freedom'''
And it would look like this: freedom
To use italics, place double apostrophes on each side of the word.
You would type: ''education''
It would appear: education
Italicized Bold
To italicize and bold, place five apostrophes around the word.
You would type: '''''liberty'''''
You would see: liberty
To underline important information place <u> before the phrase and </u> after.
You would type: <u>really important information</u>...
And it would look like this: really important information
Creating Lists and Bullet Points
- To create a lists, simply use asterisks (*) in front of each item on the list.
- Using two asterisks will set the list in further to be a sublist (just as this sentence is placed)
- Using three will do the same, so on and so forth.
- Using two asterisks will set the list in further to be a sublist (just as this sentence is placed)
Creating Links
Links are what make the wiki operate like it does. The ease with which a reader can access related information from the contents of an article is what makes the functionality of the wiki so appealing. Creating links in articles allow for all the articles on the page to be interconnected.
Internal Links
Internal links are links to information that is featured within the content of FreedomKentucky. The link is the title of the page it links to. To create an internal link place double brackets ([[ ]]) around the text. For example...
You would type: [[Main Page]]...
It would appear as: Main Page.
Be sure to copy the title of the page you want to link to accurately. If it is not exactly the same it will not link to the page.
It is a FreedomKentucky community norm to only link a title within article the first time that phrase or title appears.
External Links
External links will redirect readers to information and webpages outside of FreedomKentucky. There are a couple ways to do this...
- To simply provide a link to a web page, just type the url in the text and it will appear as a link...
You would type http://www.google.com...
And it would appear as http://www.google.com.
- If you want to provide a link within your text but wish to make the link a part of the sentence or appear cleaner use single brackets ([ ]) around the link and provide the word you want it to link to. For instance...
If you wanted to provide the link http://www.google.com in the sentence "Google is a popular search engine" you could do that by making the word "Google" the actual link...
You would type: [http://www.google.com Google]
And it would appear as: Google
Make sure that you leave a space between the URL and the word that you want to link to the URL.
Providing references will add credibility to the content of your article. It is important to credit those whose work is being borrowed from. Providing links to research, studies, websites, or scholarly works aides in the reader's understanding of the information you've presented in your article. To do this, bookend your reference with (<ref>) and (</ref>).
For example:
If you wanted to make the claim that Marlon Brando is one of the greatest actors of all time, you could find your reference and then...
You would type: "Marlon Brando is one of the greatest actors of all time. <ref> [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000008/ IMBD Marlon Brando article]</ref>
It would appear as: "Marlon Brando is one of the greatest actors of all time. [1]
The number will correspond with the references listed at the end of the article. In order to list the references at the end of your article all you have to do it create a subheading for references. Under that heading type <references/>. An example is provided at the end of the page.
Once again, be sure to leave the space between the URL and the description of the reference in order to separate them.
Could something about these editing basics be worded better? Is there a way to make it more easily understood? Feel free to discuss it under the discussion tab or change it yourself!

Alternative Giving
If you are considering a bequest to ReVive Center for Housing and Healing, we recommend you consult with your attorney and financial planner. The following language may be helpful for including ReVive Center in your trust or will.
- Option A: I give the sum of $_____ to ReVive Center for Housing and Healing, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation located at 1668 W. Ogden Ave., Chicago, IL 60612, or its lawful successor if such lawful successor is in existence at my death.
- Option B: I give _____ percent of the reside of my estate to ReVive Center for Housing and Healing, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation located at 1668 W. Ogden Ave., Chicago, IL 60612, or its successor if such successor is in existence at my death.
ReVive Center operates Second Chance Thrift and accepts donations of gently used clothing, home goods, shoes, accessories, furniture, kitchenware, and artwork. We also seek in-kind services from working professionals who can assist both our administrative and program teams.
Matching Gifts & Workplace Giving
Many companies offer workplace giving programs and/or will match employee's gifts to charitable organizations. Contact your HR department to see if your employer offers workplace giving and/or will match your donations to ReVive Center. Some employers offer matching programs that allow donors to double, even triple, their gift to ReVive Center.
Amazon Smile
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you'll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. Simply type in ReVive Center for Housing and Healing and select us as your charity of choice.
Gifts from Financial Accounts
Generally speaking, it's possible to pass bank account proceeds to an individual or organization without making or changing a will. Many states allow so-called P.O.D. (pay on death) accounts that let you name a beneficiary of almost any financial account: savings, checking, CD, building and loan accounts, credit union savings, etc. You can indicate that your deposit will be "payable on death" to any charitable, educational, or religious organizations and keep the right to change or revoke the arrangement at any time.
Gifts of Retirement Death Benefits
Charitable organizations generally can be named as death beneficiaries of retirement savings plans. So friends who participate in pension plans, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), 401(k) plans, Keogh plans and other qualified retirement savings plans have an opportunity to make important gifts through a simple beneficiary designation. Naming ReVive Center as death beneficiary also may be good tax planning. Income taxes – and possibly "death taxes" – that may come due at death are wholly avoided. You can name us a beneficiary by requesting a form from the custodian.
Life Insurance Beneficiary
Life insurance, in addition to providing family protection and peace of mind, offers a multitude of other benefits, including significant help for our programs. You can keep lifetime ownership rights in a policy but name us the death beneficiary. Your estate will be entitled to a charitable deduction for the proceeds passing to us. If you prefer, you can name us as contingent beneficiary of a life insurance policy. We would receive the proceeds only if your primary beneficiary died before you. Or you can make us the co-beneficiary and share insurance proceeds with another.
Revocable Gifts
Donors sometimes like to place money with a charitable organization on a revocable basis. The charity can use the interest the funds produce but the gift become permanent only after the donor dies. During life, the donor can always reclaim funds if the need arises. As a technical matter, this arrangement amounts to an interest-free loan, repayable on demand. This type of revocable gift eventually provides significant assistance if the lender makes the loan self-cancelling at death. The donor's estate would be entitled to a charitable deduction for any amount passing for our benefit.
Securities that are being held for you in a brokerage account can be transferred to ReVive Center at any time. Gifts of securities are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Contact the Development Department at 312-997-2222 x241 for the necessary information to transfer a gift of securities.

Running sucks. It takes time, it's painful, it can be monotonous. If you haven't run before, it makes sense to follow an intro program like this or this. If there is a positive about running, it's this: you see noticeable improvements in your ability to run pretty quickly. If you can only run/walk ¼ of a mile right now - you might be doing ½ a mile somewhat comfortably within a couple of weeks (if you are consistent).
A few key points though:
You don't need special gear to go running. But it is better for your body if you wear shoes designed for running (or cross-trainers).
Make sure you hydrate well throughout the day - not just right before and right after your run. The easiest way to tell if you are well-hydrated is based on your urine color. The darker it is, the more water you need to drink.
Slow and steady is better when building a foundation. Don't try to run yourself into the ground or go too fast. Build up the endurance through slow, steady repetition and after a few weeks, you can start testing your speed if you want (up to you!).
If you've got questions or want help devising a running plan, let us know!

Champions Community Foundation
playing a meaningful role in the lives of physically challenged young adults in the Greater Atlanta area and beyond
In the Atlanta Metro area, conservative estimates show there are over 11,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 with physical disabilities due to cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy and physical injury; estimates indicate there are over 630,000 nationally.
• Once these young adults age out of high school, they become isolated and lonely, which often leads to depression.
• There is a lack of awareness of their intellectual capabilities Most are high school and college graduates who want to live independent and productive lives working and volunteering in their local communities.
• With their parents growing older, there are few, if any, independent living alternatives available other than a nursing home.

New Horizons Un-Limited is proud to work towards a future in which all the doors are open to equal opportunity, full participation, independence, inclusion and economic self-sufficiency for persons with disabilities, guaranteeing the same opportunities as everyone to participate in the mainstream of American life.
NHU holds a spotlight on our efforts to open gateways to full participation and opportunity with two personal journeys from our programs. Learn what your contributions to NHU have meant to affect change toward a brighter future for each of these individuals. Help NHU reach more individuals by giving this year to our NHU 2016 Annual Appeal!
Employment Skills Development Program – Emily's Journey
When people with disabilities find employment, we all benefit. Community members with disabilities are ready and willing to work! NHU cares enough NOW, to ensure brighter futures by offering the opportunities of office and technology skills training and work experiences! Through our partnership with Adonai Employment, a provider through the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, NHU has offered the Employment Skills Development Program.
A few years ago, we met a motivated woman from Adonai Employment. She was fairly fresh out of high school, and contemplating her future. No matter the direction her life would take, one thing was clear; she wanted to work. She wanted to contribute.
Like many young people, a lack of experience was holding her back. She had skills and experience, but not "work" skills, not "work" experience. She was stuck.
How was she going to find an employer willing to invest in her potential?
This is where New Horizons Un-Limited comes in. We see the potential that most employers see as work and make that much needed investment. We are often the very first stop on what we hope stretches into a lifelong, fulfilling journey.
We offered this young woman a Temporary Work Experience in Office and Event Administration in 2012. In just three months time, she soared beyond ours and her own expectations. She learned from us and we learned from her. In the end, we all won. We are all better because we had this experience.Who is this young woman and what is she doing today?
She is 22 years old. Her name is Emily. She happens to have Spinal Muscular Atrophy. She happens to use a wheelchair for mobility. And, she happens to be a smart, witty, kind, hard working and deserving woman. She is an asset and we are lucky to have her working alongside us.
To know more about Emily, visit her recent publications:
Computer Grant Program – Charlotte's Journey
NHU cares enough NOW, to ensure our collective futures by offering the opportunity to our community members with disabilities the information, tools and experiences for lifelong learning through our Computer Grant Program. We encourage volunteering and teaching others to enable people to be confident, contributing citizens. Our community members accept the challenge to invest in themselves!
In 2008, we met a motivated woman who received her first individual Computer Grant from New Horizons Un-Limited. Life is physically challenging for her and she has faced years of living with the struggles of disability. We have continued to support her with her computer needs throughout these many years and each time she has come back for more computer training. Each time she has also given the time to volunteer at NHU, giving back to her community.
She returned again this past year as it was time to upgrade to a more recent computer and operating system.
Recently she let us know how it was going with her new computer. "There are so many things that I am using my new computer to do. I continue to write my book on personal reflections and disability obstacles. I am discovering how to do more, like check my bank account statement and play chess. I use Pandora Radio because I love music and it allows me to choose the Christian and Jazz music I most enjoy. I like the Oral Roberts Ministry website as I can study at my own pace. New Horizons Un-Limited set up my computer so the programs I like most, are right on the menu bar."
"Having the computer relieves my boredom and keeps my mind on things of interest to me. When you keep your mind on your interests, you can keep your mind positive and bring down stress. When you are able to relieve yourself for a while of your troubles, you can come back with a different and more positive perspective. "
She uses her computer to write her book. By writing about her disability and her experiences she is able to look back, as well as to the future. "The writing allows me to see how far I have come, how much I have grown spiritually, emotionally and have helped my self-esteem. This encourages me to go on. I write because people with disabilities can get too inside themselves and feel they are the only ones, but each of us is not alone. I am hoping, what I write, can help others. That is why I like New Horizons Un-Limited, because they are getting the word out about disability."
Her name is Charlotte, a thoughtful, kind, hard working and deserving woman. Through NHU she has volunteered and been granted a computer, a tool to assist her to overcome the everyday barriers and grant her opportunities to participate in the mainstream of life. By investing in herself and giving to others, she has found a way to help herself with her challenges. We are privileged to have Charlotte working alongside us.
This year as you decide on your giving, remember New Horizons Un-Limited needs your help to reach more people! Remember what your continued support has offered and continues to offer people like Emily and Charlotte, not just the opportunity to overcome barriers to all that life can offer, but also assist them with the tools to face their disability armed with self-esteem and hope.
Please Join NHU in our Grassroots Effort to Care Enough NOW Ensuring Brighter Futures!
What can YOU do?Our NHU 2016 Annual Appeal for Sustaining Funds will arrive at your door or via your email before the end of the year! As a grassroots, non-profit organization, we rely wholly on contributions from right here in our community, for our organization's sustaining funds which also allow NHU to grow .
We need your help!
Help NHU provide more of our community members with disabilities the tools, training
and encouragement they need to move forward in their lives!

Meet A New Girl: Gina
"Meet A New Girl" is an interview series about real women making a life for themselves in New York City.
The New Girl:
Gina Schiappacasse
Editor's Note: The Backstory
Gina and I technically met through OKREAL's Facebook group. I had attended a mentorship session through the organization last December in hopes of finding the clarity and courage to leave my 9-5 job and start my own business and one of the post-session perks was being added to a private Facebook group of other mentorship alumnae. At the time of the session, Meet A New Girl was still just an idea floating around in my head, so when I launched the series early this year I was quick to share my first couple interviews on the Facebook group. A few weeks later, I received a friendly email from an incredibly talented illustrator. Enter: Gina Schiappacasse.
When Gina and I first met in person, I was drawn in by her good energy and unique style. She's thoughtful, introspective, and incredibly humble considering how talented she is. On the style front, I distinctly remember her wearing bold star earrings and a v. chic leather harness as a vest to our first lunch—a combo that managed to be feminine, playful and edgy all at the same time. We swapped stories about working in social media since the "early days" (believe it or not, there was a time before Instagram) and as a fellow creative I was fascinated to hear her experience balancing full-time work and creating art on the side (note: since meeting we've now both taken the leap into freelancing 🙌)
Fast forward a few months and what came out of our first meeting IRL was a fun collaboration and new friendship. It was so much fun exploring Gina's local haunts together in her quiet pocket of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Her railroad style apartment was warm and welcoming—bursting at the seams with artwork and racks of gorgeous vintage clothing. Each detail made the space feel uniquely her.
Gina's a seasoned New Yorker and I loved hearing her experience as a "new girl" moving to the city over a decade ago. I feel lucky to have had a snapshot into her world, and am excited to share with you!
More About Gina
Where are you originally from?
Burnsville, Minnesota—a big southern suburb south of the Twin Cities. I attended college in Madison, Wisconsin for three years before moving straight to NYC to finish my senior year at FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology).
How long have you been living in NYC?
A solid decade! It was my ten-year New York anniversary June 1st, 2018.
Current neighborhood?
Williamsburg, the old Italian part off the Graham L stop. I love it because it still feels like it's avoided the crazy gentrification, although, I'm sure it's only a matter of time...
What pays the rent?
Until recently, I was working full-time for a startup beauty brand, which truly was an amazing experience. Over my five years with the company, I operated as our PR Liaison and Social Media Director. However, I wore quite a few hats in my role: Casting director, producer, behind-the-scenes photographer, copywriter, model, illustrator, the list goes on. Before I was there, I had a variety of odd jobs including a bit of freelance work as a fashion designer, a stylist, a seamstress, a personal assistant, a few restaurant jobs, a story board illustrator, even a stint as a haberdasher (hat maker). At the moment, I'm currently trying to see if I can make it as a freelance creative, but basically, I've always been willing to hustle in order to make NYC work for me!
What's your side hustle / passion project?
Way too many to count, but they're primarily centered around creating things! I do a lot of freelance illustration work and collaborative art projects with friends. I occasionally dabble as a wardrobe stylist, and create custom headdresses for photoshoots and videos. More recently, I've been trying my hand at taking photos, dabbling in creative direction (I recently worked with a good friend on her upcoming music video), and have been getting back into designing and making clothing again. Editor's note: Gina made the green velvet dress you'll see her in below!
Describe your current living situation:
I live with my musician boyfriend, Jesse, and our Pomeranian, Thelonious (aka Theo) in a little one bedroom apartment on the third floor of a fairly small old apartment complex. We don't have any doors in our apartment (except a front door and bathroom door) and there is literally zero storage space (which is a challenge considering how much clothing I own). Somehow it manages to feel fairly cozy instead of cramped, which I attribute to my boyfriend's decorating skills.
What are some of your favorite spots in the neighborhood?
I can frequently be found haunting the bar at The Richardson: I love their cocktails, retro playlist, and, of course, the staff. I'm a fan of second-hand shopping at Beacon's Closet and Fox & Fawn just north of me in Greenpoint. I illustrated the majority of my recently published coloring book at Charter Coffee where I spent the bulk of my summer weekends drawing before going to print. I can frequently be found wandering around Artist & Craftsman, impulsively purchasing art supplies.
What were your early days in New York City like?
I have an aunt and uncle who moved to NYC from the Midwest several decades before me, to pursue careers in choreography and acting, and so I grew up regularly visiting them in the city with my family as a kid. Somehow, becoming a New Yorker always felt more attainable because they had blazed the trail before me, and because of them, our visits always made the city feel enchanting. My college fashion design program in Madison allowed us to transfer into FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology) for our senior year, and, after winning a scholarship and being set up with an internship in the city, I moved into FIT's summer housing three months before school to begin my internship at a company called Foley + Corinna.
My dad flew out with me (a perfect excuse to see me off and spend some time with his brother) and after a few nights relaxing at my aunt and uncle's place in Westchester, I was dropped off with two suitcases and a sewing machine at my dorm on the far west side of Manhattan just below Penn Station. My dad and uncle, both tall Midwestern men, each gave me a big hug, and I remember bursting into tears and crying on one of their chests. Eventually I went in to find that my double room was unoccupied, later learning that my roommate was a Westchester native whose parents had casually paid for the room as a crash pad for when she didn't feel like coming home after her summer internship. Unsurprisingly, she was almost never there, which left me pretty much alone in a quiet, cinder-block dormitory room for the first three months of my existence in New York.
I knew exactly two people when I moved to the city, and would gratefully accept any invitation from anyone to go out, hoping to be so lucky as to forge a few friendships. My first few years in the city were lonely, but beyond magical; everything was so fresh and new and enchanting because I'd never really experienced anything like it.
How did you find your first apartment?
My first job in the city was a gig as a waitress at a Upper West Side establishment called Cafe Lalo. It was such a classic first New York job—our uniform involved a tight t-shirt with Toulouse Lautrec style artwork and short black skirts worn with a ladybug-printed apron. Shifts were long, lights were bright, and the clientele base included large amounts of Asian and European tourists and Upper West side inhabitants (read: bad tips). The upside to the gig was that the all-female serving staff had plenty to bond over and became quite close, often going out drinking to numb the pain in our feet when our shifts ended. After hitting it off with a co-worker, Sadie, she invited me to apartment hunt with our other co-worker. We ended up scoring a three bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village for a steal and signed a lease in the blink of an eye. We were on the fifth floor of a six floor walk-up. Our floors slanted, and one room could more accurately be described as a closet (mine), but it was a wonderfully fun time in my life.
Describe a typical weekday for you in NYC
After forcing myself out of bed (I am not a morning person), I pull myself together, take my dog out, make coffee and get to work. My day-to-day is often a mixed bag: checking emails, working on freelance illustration gigs, and pursuing more work. In the evenings, I like to spend time working on more personal illustration projects or hit the town with friends to check out a concert, art opening, or favorite bar/restaurant. There truly are endless things to do and see in the city, but over the years I've been better about resisting my FOMO and being selective about what I do with my time.
How about on the weekends?
Full days in my sunny apartment, painting, practicing guitar and cleaning up, followed by an evening grabbing a good dinner and headed to a show, a dance (I'm a swing dancer), or a friend's place for drinks and conversation. I love being social, and I love spending time with good humans.
Gina's Favorites
Favorite place in the city
My apartment.
Your go-to local spot
Recently obsessed with King's County, the BEST Chinese food right in my neighborhood.
Best place for an afternoon drink? ❤🍷
The Richardson, especially outdoors in the summer. I also love Ramona in Greenpoint.
What's one thing still on your "NYC" bucket list?
I embarrassingly still haven't been to MoMA PS1!
How do you combat the stress of the city?
Candles, podcasts, and painting.
What still makes you feel like a "new kid"?
Visiting neighborhoods that I've never been to before. It's magical to see a part of the city that's new after years of being here, it really brings back that feeling I had when I first moved here at 21.
Biggest adjustment?
I am not/never have been a fan of crowds. It sounds a bit ridiculous to say as a New Yorker, but my neighborhood generally isn't too crowded and I detest being anywhere near Times Square!
What makes NYC feel special to you?
How did you take the leap to move?
I honestly don't ever remember making a conscious decision to move here, it was just always something I wanted to do and it sort of happened organically, which I feel really fortunate for. I think it helped to have crash landed here at a young age because I felt so invincible at 21. It wasn't that that things didn't scare me, but I was tireless and really excited about everything which helped in a city that is constantly throwing you curve balls. Really, I think being a New Yorker, when it comes down to it is just about wanting it, you have to be hungry, you have to be curious, and you have to be willing to keep trying because it's not going to be easy and no one is just going to hand it to you.

Mouth-watering food always sells. A great ambiance and cordial staff is all you need to keep your customers coming back for more. Young entrepreneurs tell you what it takes to start an eatery of your own:
Nicolo Morea (37),
founder of Crepe Station
"I studied hotel management in Switzerland for four years and spent another eleven years in Germany, France and other European countries working at restaurants first to gain experience and opening restaurants of my own.
In 2000, I came to India for a holiday and my brother Dino suggested we open a restaurant in Mumbai. The café concept was missing here. We started our first outlet at Carter Road, Bandra and now, we have nine. We included the much-loved burgers, pasta and salads along with crepes. You can't bring in something new and expect people to like it," says Morea.
(Ravi Sharma is a co-partner of the Crepe station brand.)
Need degree? "Yes. However, experience is the only thing that will train you to survive in the industry. Even if you can't afford to study, no one can stop you from getting the experience. And, one more thing, make sure your accountant is a pro," he adds.
"One noticeable difference between setting up an eatery in India and abroad is discipline. No one becomes a waiter in India for the love of it. Our main focus is on maintaining consistency, hygienic and clean kitchens. I've also recently opened Elbo Room at Bandra, Mumbai," he concludes.
Anuja Jatkar (26),
Owner of Crepe Station franchise at Fort
"I was always interested in food – even more than shopping – and loved trying out different cuisines. I did my MBA in Marketing. It took a lot of effort convincing my dad. I didn't have a degree in hotel management, so a franchise was the best option.
I underwent three-month training with Crepe Station on how to handle the cashiering, softwares, kitchen and supplies. My initial investment was
Rs 50-60 lakh."
You have to be willing to take the risk. People think it is easy, but reality is far from that.
For example, during the IPL, we had a 'Guess the man of the match' offer where we distributed free shots to the tables that got it right. I maintain a Facebook page and we also send out regular emails and SMSes to customers.
Tip: Youngsters start with a bang, but fizzle out if they do not focus on the management. Ensure the food is fresh and consistent, as customers are finicky about these things.
Need degree? You don't necessarily need a degree, though it definitely would be an added asset. Start a business after finishing your post graduation.
Gaurav Sethi (28)
Owner of Mumbai's Café Royale, Banyan Tree, HQs, Gaia in Pune
"Café Royale is a brand that has existed for the past 90 years, though it had shut down 4 years ago to give way to Cinnamon. Last year, we decided to re-launch it and Café Royal has been good ever since. Apart from the regular obstacles that all new businesses face, there was nothing in particular. By the time we opened Café Royale, we had gained a good amount of experience and this was the smoothest of them all," says Sethi.
Tip: Get your ground work, facts and figures in place. Though this business looks rosy from the outside, it's 10 times tougher from the inside. But impossible is nothing, once you have decided to go for it, give your 100% and you will emerge as a winner.
Five steps to success
1.Do thorough ground work before investing your money
2.Location is the most vital factor for restaurants
3. Plan for contingency
4. Get the right people for the job
5. Give it your 100%
Need degree? I feel, if you get a strong, experienced team, it's not important, but you should have the business acumen.
Sharang Rawal (24)
Front-end, business development for Café Royale, Banyan Tree, HQs
"I'm a BMM dropout. I'll be the perfect example for your story," he says with a grin. He set up Loop, a media company and ran it for three years. "It is easier to start out so young, as you connect with the people who come here. You tend to have more passion. It is better to do an MBA before you get into this field. My path is passion driven, but you have to slog. Gaurav is an MBA. We're two
different examples,
you see."
Obstacles: Struggle is a part of every new venture. Sometimes, you doubt yourself and that very minute, you get a positive response from a client. During an occasion like the IPL or foot matches, I have even taken orders as the place is overcrowded.

As you know I am reading Next Level Thinking by Joel Osteen, here is an extract that I thought I would share with you today:
Do you gravitate towards people who are like you?
Everyone is needy, everyone is complaining, everyone is discouraged. You need to be careful about whom you surround yourself with especially in difficult times.
Don't go and find other people that are like you to hang around. Misery loves company.
Join blessed people, generous people, people who are well off. People who are happy, positive and grateful.
Sent with Love

What I found is my sizing was pretty much spot-on. I ordered my normal size and it didn't change a bit.
I think these boots are best for summer and spring conditions and for fast hiking and running on paths, especially muddy hill paths. They surprised me by being more useful than I had imagined they would be.
- The upper of the Roclite 325 GTX features a breathable and durable Gore-Tex® material. This extra layer provides the foot with waterproof coverage, especially while running in wet conditions.
- The Inov-8 Roclite 325 GTX provides better shock absorption and energy return because of the presence of the PowerFlow midsole technology. It delivers reliable cushioning for a more responsive ride.
- The outsole unit of this shoe also features the Tri-C rubber compound. It delivers a good blend of traction and durability while running on unpredicted surfaces. The moderately aggressive lug pattern also gives added traction, especially when it comes to upward and downward traversals.
The GTX version of the Roclite 325 has a standard running shoe length. For both the men and women's versions, the available width is medium. The standard measurement in the forefoot, mid-foot, and heel offers a comfortable fit for runners with a medium foot-shape.
The outsole of the Inov-8 Roclite 325 GTX utilizes the Tri-C sticky rubber compound. It is engineered from three different outsole rubbers to provide durability in high-wear areas. It also provides reliable grip on various terrains.
The shoe has a moderately aggressive lug pattern that provides enhanced traction while running on hard-packed trails and varied surfaces.
The Roclite 325 GTX uses the two-piece PowerFlow midsole technology, which provides high-energy return and reliable shock absorption for an improved running experience. Compared to the standard foam units that are placed in most running shoes on the market, the PowerFlow delivers 15% energy return and 10% better shock absorption.
Integrated into the midsole is the Second-Generation Meta-Shank that is strategically placed from the midfoot to the forefoot. It follows the natural shape of the foot and offers flexibility while giving added underfoot protection.
The Inov-8 Roclite 325 GTX has a cleat-cut construction that provides ankle support for uneven terrain.
The upper of the shoe features is the durable Gore-Tex® membrane. It is a lightweight and breathable material that provides the foot a waterproof coverage, keeping the foot dry while running on wet surfaces.
For a more comfortable and adaptive fit, the shoe utilizes the AdapterWeb Met-Cradle that adapts to the natural shape and movement of the foot.
The shoe also utilizes the reliable X-LOCK System that holds the heel securely for an enhanced fit and added support.
The presence of the rubber toe cap gives added durability while keeping the toes well-protected from bruising on trails.
Lastly, the Inov-8 Roclite 325 GTX has a lace-up closure and gusseted tongue that offers an enhanced fit and overall comfort. The integrated gusseted tongue is also designed to keep the debris out of the shoe.

The Bar at the
Cliff House Hotel
Middle Road
Co Waterford
Phone: 024 87800
The Irish Daily Mail
1 September 2018
Ardmore is a rather lovely spot, so pretty and so scenic that you can almost ignore the carbuncle that is the local caravan park.
It also has one of Ireland's few restaurants with a Michelin star, something for which our native establishments have to strive much harder than in other places, from Basingstoke to Berlin. I don't give a fig about Michelin, generally speaking, but the fact that Martijn Kajuiter has one star in Ardmore would suggest that, were he elsewhere, he would probably have two.
I know him, thanks to having produced the Cliff House Hotel Cookbook with him years ago.
On the day we dropped in, the bar terrace was liberally dotted with south Dubliners and the occasional grazing American. There were more pints of Guinness in evidence than is usual in places charging these kind of prices. Well behaved children came and went and the staff looked after everyone with calm efficiency.
The bar menu (not to be confused with the Michelin-starred House Restaurant menu), laid out on one big card, employs twee language that was big in the mid-1990s: "From the Garden", "From the Land", "From the Sea" and the like, instead of letting people figure out for themselves that tomatoes are more than likely from some kind of garden and that Guinea Fowl and Foie Gras Terrine are unlikely to have emerged from the waves. I half expected a pudding called "death by chocolate".
However, how did it eat? Well, Skeaghanore duck rillettes were excellent, delightfully textured, sensitively seasoned, served with little cornichons and pickled shallots, plus seeded crackers and a kind of contemporary Melba toast. Full marks.
"Dutch Beef Bitterballen Croquetes" I knew from the cookbook. These are, I suppose, a kind of Dutch take on the Spanish croquetas, maybe a bit more robust. These generous crisp spheres came carefully arranged and balanced, creamy and beefy within, served with a little dish of mysteriously but deliciously tarted up mustard which provided just the right kind of foil. This was a great value "small bite" (and not all that small, either), for €8.50.
It was refreshing, incidentally, to have a proper slab of butter, at room temperature, served with the excellent brown soda bread. Far too many restaurants, including some of the best, dole out huge quantities of bread with homeopathic doses of butter.
"McGrath's smoked beef, rocket, hen's egg, mature cheddar" sounded like a cross between beef tartare and a carpaccio and it was, indeed, more than the sum of its parts. The beef, from the eponymous butcher in Lismore, was indeed subtly smoky, very thinly sliced, very nearly raw, topped with rocket and what I'm pretty sure was a 63ºC egg – i.e. cooked, but only just and very soft – and framed by wispy filaments of very mature, tangy cheddar.
Wild mushroom ravioli, bizarrely billed as "from the garden" were indeed rather more horticultural than expected. They lay beneath a thick layer, or mulch as gardeners would say, of frisée lettuce, baby spinach leaves, little pickled enoki mushrooms and nasturtium flowers. These all conspired to make the dish look as pretty as an advertisement for some expensive perfume but it didn't help the pasta do what it was meant to do: taste of what it contained.
The ravioli were too big; they needed to be much more compact, more thinly skinned and more generously stuffed with the perfectly decent wild mushroom paste. If this had been attended too, they would also have cooked evenly. And the acidity of the enokis really jarred in this context. All in all, a badly thought through dish with some good elements.
A "lemon and cream pot" as our shared pudding was simple, fresh, light and just right in all respects except one. It was billed as containing our local Blackwater Gin and neither of us could detect any whatsoever.
With mineral water, three glasses of wine and good coffee, the bill came to €92.50.

how do I increase L1 Data Cache in the registry as an dword entry value. my notebook has a capacity of 64K
What is this Cache Size you are talking about ? If it is the L1 cache of CPU, you cannot increase it. It is fixed on the CPU. Unless you upgrade the CPU on your notebook, you cannot do anything for L1 cache size.
Several years ago, there was a belief that some operating systems could not detect the L1 / L2 cache size of the CPU and it was a good idea to set the correct value in registry.
Now I suggest you download CPU-Z and check if your CPU cache size is read correctly.
You can find CPU-Z HERE. Make sure you download the right version x86/x64 for your OS.

Paladins provides various characters, called Champions, for the players to choose during their gaming sessions. Each of these Champions falls into one of the following categories: Front Line, Damage, Support, and Flank. Being a team-based shooter, players must rely on strategy, character knowledge, coordination, and teamwork in order to attain victory. Players may use VGS, along with text and voice chat to communicate. A good team will have a balanced choice of classes that will support each other during the game. Front Line: Heroes who serve as the anchor of the team, holding the front and protecting their allies. With high health pools and shielding capabilities, Front Line champions excel at blocking enemy fire and disrupting enemy objective captures. Damage: Heroes who possess reliable and consistent damage outputs or large burst damage potential. Their damage, coupled with average health pools and decent mobility, make Damage champions ideal for skirmishes and extended firefights. Support: Champions with high utility and healing abilities, the backbone of any team. Due to their healing capabilities that keep their allies in the fight, Support champions are invaluable allies. Flank: Champions who excel at traversing the battlefield and getting behind enemy lines, eliminating vulnerable key targets. While most Flank heroes are relatively frail, having lower health pools than any other role, their excellent mobility and self-sustain provide them with the means of escape and survival. There are 36 champions in Paladins, 8 of which are available from the start for new players to choose between. Additionally, 4 champions are also temporarily accessible for free on a two-week rotation. Players can permanently acquire additional champions through purchases using in-game currency. More champions are slated for release in 2018.

Topic: Wheelie on a 125?
Author: drichchulo
Posted: 12/08/2004 01:57:02 AM
Is there anyone out there that's been able to pull off a wheelie on a 125? I can't get a wheelie yet on the 125, it seems almost impossible. I tried popping the clutch and also redlining it in 1st and 2nd but nothing. Help please.
Reply by micksspit on 12/08/2004 04:42:56 AM
Can this bike spin tires on tar (pavement)? I never ran mine before ripping it apart. just curious and i figured if you are trying to wheelie it then you must have that info. lol
Reply by bp 1.8 on 12/08/2004 09:31:58 AM
yeah you can wheelie 1st and second. i did it plenty of times, the bike just needs a little help getting up. you have to sit back a bit and also jerk up on the handlebars to help it get up.
You can also spin the tire on tarmac if you are careful.
Reply by DRAGON on 12/08/2004 7:59:35 PM
Yes I also have done it but i only weigh in at 130 :} lol. The only prob i had was the play in the throttle made it hard to shift wile in the air. after about 10 tries finally got to third gear. Dropped it first couple tries bent lots. rim handlebars busted master cylinder list goes on and on. lol
Reply by drichchulo on 12/09/2004 12:27:19 AM
well let me begin by saying I am an amateur and its a good starter for me I have had a lot of hours on it though doing jumps and so forth. Its still pretty much stock so I guess I have to do the mods first to get it up right? By the way I am about 190lbs and 5'11 so does that make a diff?
Reply by bp 1.8 on 12/11/2004 3:26:06 PM
just sit back a little farther on the seat. hell stand on the passenger footpegs if you really want to wheelie. you can wheelie all day in second gear if you do that.
Reply by cuzzy on 11/17/2005 7:47:59 PM
the bike comes up easy for me especially in first gear,just give it some gas and pop the clutch,it will rise, if not, check the idle, it sounds like your bike if flooding out, i weigh 180 and the bike pops right up. good luck
Reply by jhonathan on 12/12/2005 6:44:24 PM
i've also done it but on accident on first but i weigh about 120
Reply by skidooguymxz on 04/07/2006 7:28:27 PM
I'm 5'8 140lbs and i can wheelie my friends Honda 70cc no problem. Go slow in first gear pull in the clutch and rev it up fairly high. when you almost come to a stop shift your weight back and pop the clutch. Jerking back is important. Another way to do a sorta wheelie is stop the bike in first and let it idle. sit far forward and plant your feet. Slowly release the clutch and ease on to the throttle till the bikes out from under you and hang on tight. It looks like a wheelie but it is much easier to balance because of your trailing feet. with teqnuice 1 don't over rev the bike because you'll be thrown off the back. learned that the hard way several times
Here's a picture of teq.
