Explore RHA's monitoring sites in our stream monitoring map!
We monitor over 50 sites and gather valuable data about the overall health of our watersheds.

Stream Monitoring Program
Each summer, a team of RHA staff members and volunteers collects samples of benthic macro-
invertebrates, small critters whose presence indicate a stream's health, at over fifty sites on streams and rivers in Hunterdon, Morris and Somerset Counties. Through our stream monitoring program, we gather valuable, usable data about surface water quality and the overall health of our watersheds.
The waterways we monitor include Rockaway Creek, Peapack Brook, Black River, Cold Brook, Drakes Brook, Neshanic River, Pleasant Run, Holland Brook, Back Brook, Mulhockaway Creek and the North and South Branches of the Raritan River. The sites we monitor have been carefully selected to provide us with a snapshot of streams and river segments that are not monitored by other groups (the U.S. Geological Survey and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, for example). The data we generate is included in the New Jersey Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report).
After we conduct our visual assessment and collect a sample at each site, the samples are analyzed by a state-certified laboratory to assess water quality and stream ecosystem health, the data is presented as a High Gradient Macroinvertebrate Index Score. Sites may be classified as excellent, good, fair, or poor.
When biological monitoring indicates an impairment, we investigate local land uses and conduct further testing to better understand the problem, then work with landowners and local officials to address the problem. In the two decades that we have been monitoring streams and rivers, our efforts have allowed us to:
- detect trends in water quality over time caused by changes in land use
- characterize regional biota characteristics
- observe the effectiveness of restoration efforts
Our monitoring program supports many types of conservation efforts throughout the region. Monitoring results influence:
- municipal master plans
- land use planning and zoning decisions
- policy development at the state, county and local level
- prioritization of pollution control measures
- determination of recreational uses of water bodies and surrounding habitats
- school curricula
- citizen stewardship projects
- state-wide research
- regulatory response

New group exercise timetables launched at leisure centres
New group exercise timetables have been launched at leisure centres across County Durham.
There are over 250 weekly group exercise classes on offer, and with a recent £76,000 investment in cycle energy bikes at Teesdale, Woodhouse Close, Meadowfield and Abbey leisure centres, there has been no better time to get fit, stay active and feel great.
Durham County Council leisure centres offer classes for all ages and abilities. Gentle exercise options are available for beginners; or those looking for a more intense workout might want to try MetaPWR, a power circuit class that uses weights and other fitness equipment to work the muscles and boost the metabolism for a full body workout.
East Durham resident Kaye Stephenson said: "It offers a variety of routines that are designed to test agility, strength and conditioning. I feel that I am able to push myself and get the same results without spending countless hours exercising. I think I am on the way to finally getting that summer body I've been longing for."
Visit www.durham.gov.uk/GX to download your local timetable.

Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland
320 Pages.
My Rating – 4*/5*
'Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a hopeless romantic, but the slo-mo, heart palpitating, can't-eat-can't-sleep kind of love that he's been hoping for just hasn't been in the cards for him—at least not yet. Instead, he's been happy to focus on his grades, on getting into a semi-decent college and finally becoming editor of his school newspaper. Then Grace Town walks into his first period class on the third Tuesday of senior year and he knows everything's about to change.
Grace isn't who Henry pictured as his dream girl—she walks with a cane, wears oversized boys' clothes, and rarely seems to shower. But when Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, he quickly finds himself falling for her. It's obvious there's something broken about Grace, but it seems to make her even more beautiful to Henry, and he wants nothing more than to help her put the pieces back together again. And yet, this isn't your average story of boy meets girl. '
Our Chemical Hearts was one of those heart wrenching books that leaves an imprint on your heart. It's about first loves, grief, friendship – told by a witty narrator who I absolutely adore, Henry Page you sweet precious cinnamon roll deserve all the love in the world.
This book was lovely and frustrating at the same time, half the time I was smiling happily because everything was going good and the next time I was getting so frustrated I was almost crying, this book messed with my emotions bad, it was definitely a bittersweet read.
Henry is by far my favourite character in this book, I absolutely loved everything about him, he was witty and awkward and I just love him. Grace is deeply broken over a tragedy that happened in her life before she met Henry. Grace I didn't like, I'm sorry I couldn't relate to her what so ever, I didn't like her at all to be honest, I understood that she was going through so much but I didn't think that it made it okay for her to treat/m mess around Henry quite as much as she did.
Not only were the main characters well developed as were the side characters, Henry's best friends and his family were so interested and I loved reading about them, especially his best friends they were so funny 😊
If you are looking for an emotional and though provoking read then this book is for you, although I didn't love all the characters I still enjoyed this book immensely, the characters are awesome, the writing is captivating and the story is truly something, if you haven't read this already you should 😊

Here are ten important tasks to take care of before your baby arrives.
1. Take Childbirth and Parenting Classes: As first-time parents, you will find that babies don't come with a set of instructions and there is limited time to learn what you need to learn before you leave your birthing facility. You will also find that everyone will have an opinion on how to care for your baby. Taking prenatal and parenting classes will help you learn the basics of baby care, provide you with reliable resources to learn more, and will help empower you to make educated decisions when caring for your little one.
When should you start taking childbirth classes? Generally speaking, the start of your third trimester (around the 7th month of pregnancy) is a good time to begin classes. However, this timing can vary. If you are having multiples, have limited time to take classes, or are taking a class like hypnobirthing which takes 5 weeks to complete, you may need to begin classes earlier to ensure you are able to take all the classes that you desire.
What classes should you take? Here is a list of suggested classes:
2. Purchase and Install a Car Seat: Before your baby will be able to go home with you from your birthing facility, you MUST have a car seat. Install your car seat before the big day and have it inspected by a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST). Unfortunately, many newborns leave the hospital in a car seat that has not been properly installed. It is estimated that 4 out of 5 car seats are not installed properly and 7 out of 10 children are not properly secured in their car seat. Car seat inspections are free and generally take 30 minutes to an hour. Find a technician in your area here.
3. Have Essential Baby Equipment Ready To Go: Be sure your bay's sleeping area is ready to go with clean linens. Wash baby clothes, burp cloths, washcloths, towels, hats and blankets. Stock diapers and wipes. If you will not be breastfeeding, purchase formula and sterilize baby bottles.
4. Discuss Important Decisions to be Made: Talk with your partner about important decisions that will need to be made in your baby's first few days of life.
5. Take a Tour of Your Birthing Facility and Ask Important Questions Regarding Their Rules and Regulations. Ask about:
6. Review Your Insurance Plan: Familiarize yourself with your insurance policy and what your plan covers. Read how to maximize your benefits here.
7. Pack Your Hospital Bag: Pack your bag about four to six weeks before your due date (for multiples, you may want to pack your bag earlier, around 30-32 weeks gestation). Not sure what to pack? Here is a list: Supplies to Take to The Hospital. (Save time and money by purchasing our eco-friendly, non-toxic hospital bag: My Pure Delivery).
8. Thinking of Banking or Donating Your Baby's Cord Blood? Talk with your healthcare provider about your wishes to collect your baby's cord blood and discuss if he/she charges for this service. Obtain a collection kit from the facility you will be using to store the cord blood or the facility you will be donating to. Most cord blood facilities recommend signing up around your 32nd week of pregnancy.
Looking to donate your baby's cord blood? Click here for more information. Learn more about cord blood banking here.
9. Find a Pediatrician: Your baby's nurses will ask you for your pediatrician before your baby will be able to leave the hospital. Here are some tips on Choosing a Doctor for Your Baby.
10. Pre-Register with Your Birthing Facility: Pre-registering will help your admission go smoothly and will ensure you have all the necessary documents.
*Bonus* Will you Be Breastfeeding Your Baby? Visiting with a lactation consultant prenatally can not only help to answer any questions or concerns that you may have regarding breastfeeding but can also help to assess if there could be potenial challanges that may need intervention. Since breastfeeding is a very intimate time, meeting with a lactation consultant prenatally can help you develop a rapport and help you feel more at ease.

For the purpose of consistency, and so that we have mutual understanding of the topic, I am going to put your argument into my own words. Please correct me if I have misunderstood your position.
"Learners need to take responsibility for the learning. A teacher can do everything in their power to teach the students, but the student will not learn anything unless he/she wants to" (Djohn24, 2016).
In other words, "If the student does not learn during class, and fails tests or assignments; it is not necessarily the teachers failure, but instead it is the students failure."
I will cite sources for my arguments, which will be online so you will have access to them. I would appreciate the same in return. Also, I apologize for all of the references to chemistry and biology. These are the subjects I know best, and so they are the examples I chose to use; in any other field I am sure there are also exemplars to my position.
Argument 1: Effective teachers provide education to student based on what we know about how the brain stores information.
The two most important concepts for successful learning in my opinion are:
1."Students learn new ideas by relating them to what they already know" (Bruno, 2015, para. 4).
2."Students remember information better when they are given many opportunities to practice retrieving it from their long-term memories" (Bruno, 2015, para. 5).
To grasp most concepts, it is important that the student has an understanding of the level of complexity just below what they are learning. For example: The level of complexity right below biology, is chemistry; so by reviewing the chemistry behind biological processes, teachers can help students develop a deeper understand of the information.
By doing so, students have context for the new information, and have farther solidified the material they had learned previously.
Argument 2: New information must be presented in a way that someone with little, or no, experience can understand.
Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." In all educational subjects, connections can easily be made between new information and old information. If the teacher fails to see these connections, she cannot explore them with her students, and she does not understand the material well enough.
For example: an understanding of skin cancer must be paired with an understanding of UV radiation. Visible light has wavelengths that are that same size as the light sensitive cells inside our eyes. Visible light waves aren"t small enough to penetrate into the cell, unlike UV radiation " so some UV rays are small enough that they can pass into cell nuclei, disturb molecules of DNA, and suppress genes responsible for controlling cell division.
If the teacher does not understand both concepts, effective learning is more difficult, and results in a decreased likelihood that the learner will retain the information.
Argument 3: Teachers must offer support to their students, allowing them to experience success, which inspires learners to continue learning.
Success motivates us. When we succeed our brains release a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which is the same substance methamphetamine hijacks in cases of meth addiction. "Collecting wins, no matter how small, can chemically wire you to move mountains by causing a repeated release of dopamine" (Mehta, 2013, para. 8).
For example: by presenting students with easily understood information, then giving them a small pop quiz immediately after, they will be more likely to embrace the information in light of their success. Eventually, we become addicted to success, as meth users are addicted to dopamine.
In conclusion, teachers are far more responsible for academic achievement than the students they teach. By approaching learners from a biologically motivated perspective, we can not only teach the subject they are there to learn, but we can also improve their abilities to learn on their own through repetition, simple explanation, and frequent episodes of success.

When determining the level of thinking and learning that a student does, we should be careful not to overlook the affective domain of Bloom's taxonomy as well (Clark, 2015). Again, in this arena, the teacher can do everything in their power to activate these levels, but much of the responsibility is on the learner.
With all that being said, not all teachers know about how stress affects learning either. If teachers comprehensively and continuously trained in these areas, I believe there would be a greater increase in learning success.

The meaning of the life of gadgets
2016年 10月 28日
When does a gadget stop being a gadget and become a yester-appliance, even if it's still perfectly working? Realistically, I guess it's when the model has received more than two major updates and being labelled as "discontinued" must be a death sentence.

WIDNES Vikings veteran full back Stuart Spruce is a major injury doubt for the club's trip to Castleford this Sunday.
The former Bradford Bulls and Great Britain star pulled up lame with a calf injury as he chased a kick into his own in-goal area in last Saturday's 22-18 defeat at the hands of Wigan Warriors.
Spruce has been a revelation since he rejoined his home town club from Bradford before the 2002 Super League season.
Having been written off by many critics following a serious shoulder injury, Spruce's form was one of the major reasons behind the club's better than expected showing in their first season in Super League after six years out of the top flight.
If he misses out on Sunday, it will be a bitter blow to the Vikings in their quest for a top six place this year.
Widnes coach Neil Kelly said: "Stuart rates himself 50-50 to make the game, but he's struggling at the moment.
"I've had a chat with him and he's feeling better than he was but we've decided to wait until Thursday morning to see how he feels.
"We normally like to finalise our team early in the week so we can focus on the opposition but we'll just have to wait and see."
Former Wigan and St Helens fullback Paul Atcheson will step up from the bench if Spruce doesn't make it.
Recent signing from Doncaster Dragons, Marvin Golden, is another struggling to make Sunday's clash. Kelly added: "Marvin has a dead leg and although he is responding to treatment he is a doubt."

The following tours are provided in this region:
Mountain Shoria (Siberian Switzerland) on the map
Mountain Shoria is often called the Siberian Switzerland for its nature wealth and beauty. This area has all opportunities to become the international tourist centre. The reason is that according to the number of recreational resources and their quality it excels others in the majority of recreational zones.
The famous region of Mountain Shoria has already became one of the favourite places for people to have rest thanks to its climate, favourable ecological situation, fresh mountain air, which seems to become even clearer with the height growth.
The administrative centre of Mountain Shoria is the town Tashtagol, which is located at the distance 560 kilometers from Novosibirsk, 400 kilometers from Kemerovo and 160 kilometers from Novokuznetsk. There is a regular railway and car communication between Novokuznetsk and Tashtagol. Mountain Shoria occupies the southern part of Kemerovo Region and geographically is a part of the mountain range of Altai. It represents medium-high mountain chain (up to 2100 meters), which is divided by two rivers – Mras-Su and Kondoma. Shoria extends up to 170 km from the north to the south from the river Tom to Bijskaya Griva and to 100 km from the east to the west from the Salair mountain range to the Abakan mountain range. The square of Mountain Shoria is 13.5 thousand square kilometers. It makes up a half of Belgium's territory and one-third (1/3) of the territory of Switzerland, to which Shoria is often compared. Shorian national park occupies about 30% of this area.
The relief of Mountain Shoria represents such landscape: the predominance of soft alps shape divided by river valley, loaches with no flora, which crown high mountain chains up to 1.5 thousand meters high.
The main alp of Mountain Shoria is the sacred mountain Mustag (1570 meters). In the whole eastern part of Mountain Shoria there's large karst zone with numerous caves and grottos.
The rest in Mountain Shoria in winter is mountain-skiing and tourism. There are splendid conditions for this in Mountain Shoria: appropriate steepness of mountainside, big durance of snow blanket deposition (7 months), clear and temperately frosty weather without snow, light "cold" snow, which not so many resorts may be proud of in the world.
Mountain-skiing complex Sheregesh unites 2 zones for tobogganing – the mountain Medvezhonok and the mountain Zelenaya, which are located at the distance 11 kilometers. You can live both on the territory of these two complexes and in the village Sheregesh itself as well. The high level of the mountain Zelenaya is generally recognized by specialists of international Federation for mountain-skiing and snowboarding. Time and again here the professional and amateurish Championships of Russia for alpine-skiing are organized.
Mountain Shoria in winter represents wonderful routes, which are available not only for professionals, but also for amateurs including mountain-skiing and snowboarding , the school for mountain-skiing, competitions and festivals.
To get ready for climbing champion alps newcomers can study in a special mountain-skiing school after the guidance of experienced coaches for just 1-2 days. There are many hotels on the mountain Zelenaya with all set of services, they are situated in Siberian taiga, right near the foot of the lines. Here you can find the service of different level – from usual canteen to café, bars and restaurants, also the hire of mountain-skiing inventory and snowboards, service of seat and rope tows, sauna, disco, etc. And all of these is available during the most enduring season in the region – from November to May.
In summer rest in Mountain Shoria is as interesting as in winter. Wonderful nature and history, which takes its beginning in ancient times – it's a good basis for excursion programs. Mysterious mountains in blue smoke covered by the fir-aspen woods, unique relic plant associations, remaining from the preglacial times, clear mountain rivers – this is Mountain Shoria! Welcome and take your trip to the dreamland! Mountain Shoria will enchant you!

Axe Valley Vets System Upgrade
I have been working with MIUS since becoming a partner in 2004. Fraser and more recently Ashley have always been excellent representatives of their company. We have recently upgraded from our previous machine , an ATL HDI 3000, which whilst still producing acceptable images was beginning to show signs of old age. The images produced by the Philips Ie-33 need to be seen to be believed. Our young vets have gained so much confidence so quickly in their imaging skills. Having great kit gives them the job satisfaction they crave instead of feeling the need to refer.
Mius have always understood that the cost of the machine has to be balanced with a level of service which keeps their machines working. No image no fee!
A recent visit to their site in Gloucester demonstrated their commitment to our industry in these challenging times.
CT or not CT? Now that's a whole new decision
David Kemp, Axe Valley Vets, Blackford, Somerset
Companion Care, Milton Keynes
'We recently used MIUS to help us upgrade the ultrasound system in our practice . They helped us choose a machine and set it up in our practice. After a few months use I realised that we should have gone for a higher spec model, MIUS's customer service was excellent , they helped us choose the new model and swapped out the previous machine for a new one. I have always used them for our ultrasound needs because I find their expertise and after sales support to be first class.'
Huw Morgan-Jones, Companion Care, Milton Keynes
Giles Heaversedge, Barrmore Vets, Pontyclun
This is a great all round scanner (SIUI CTS 8800V Plus) for first opinion practice. It is simple to use with very good quality abdominal images. There is the option to add colour at a later date, if/when needed. The service and support provided by MIUS was excellent, from the first enquiry I made to the time spent providing training when the machine was delivered. The presets installed by MIUS prior to delivery have made getting the most out of the machine easier and quicker.
Giles Heaversedge, Barrmore Vets, Pontyclun
Apex Vets Denny
Here is our testimonial for the apogee 5300V after we've been using it for a little while.
In summary, we are absolutely delighted. The image quality has surpassed all of our expectations. We are having to revisit what is "normal" for an ultrasound scan, because we are seeing detail which we never could have hoped to see before. We thought our previous machine was good, well the SIUI absolutely blows it out the water.
The work flow with the touch screen is very nice to use (and easy to learn), and this is helped by he freeze pedal, meaning more time spent scanning and less time spent typing. The calculations package is intuitive and outputs useful calculations on neat 1 page reports at the end of a scan.
We are mainly abdominal bias in this small animal practice with one vet who has an interest in cardiology, and the SIUI is a perfect balance. It covers both abdominal and cardiology work and it does it very well for our first opinion practice. It covers the full range of species from small furries to St Bernards from tendons to abdomens to hearts.
There are a number of fantastic 'extra' functions that the machine has that we have found to be a real bonus:
- it is on the practice network (easy to set up) meaning that with 1 button press on the machine, it will save a patient image in a folder in our network drive titled with the patient number so we can then quickly attach it to clinical records and show clients
- The panoscope function (panorama) has proved very useful for eg tendon scans
- I have set it up to print to one of our office network printers, meaning that I can press 1 button to get my cardiology report, then press print, and a 1 pages summary report of the scan outputs in the office. Another button press and the same report saves as a digital file in the patient's folder on the network hard drive
- image backing up is easy, we back them up on the practice network hard drive. However another option is to put in a USB external hard drive and back up to that. Either way the workflow again is intuitive and easy to learn and work
- the cross beam and tissue enhancement imaging speckle reduction functions are proving very useful with visualising challenging items, such as seeing round corners with bladder and gall stones allowing almost a full 2 dimensional measurement of the whole stone to be achieved.
Finally, the support on install day and since from you and from the whole MIUS team has been (and still is) absolutely top class, we regularly recommend MIUS to anyone who asks us, and will continue to do so.

Having bought an ultrasound machine about eight years ago from Mius and been happy with the pre and post sales service I approached them again when an upgrade was due. We were offered a refurnished Philips HD11 XE scanner which we compared carefully with new machines in a similar price bracket. We felt the Philips was much more intuitive to use than the new machines we looked at and gave exceptionally good image quality. The machine has good facilities and a useful online help system for those occasions when we cannot remember which button to press! It is easy to return to its preset state if our explorations lead us into deep water and the machine has rekindled our interest in diagnostic imaging. I have again been very happy with the advice and service I have received from Mius and would enthusiastically recommend them to any practitioner wanting a good ultrasound machine at a reasonable price.

We have just purchased a Philips HD11 ultrasound machine. I have an interest in cardiology but it is a first opinion practice therefore we need the scan to cover all areas. So far we have found the quality and ease of use of the scanner to be excellent and the installation help was very good getting us to a point of confident use very quickly. We have been able to identify eggs in a gecko and I' ve just diagnosed a live pregnancy in a small hedgehog along with checking a cats heart and several liver scans all recorded and archived easily.
This scanner is a huge step forward and the sales team have done a really good job in advising us so that we have exactly the model which fulfils our needs.

Ian Clarke, Ambleside Veterinary Clinic
My practice had an old portable ultrasound machine that was about 12 years old when I decided to upgrade, we bought a reconditioned HP sonos 5500 and found that it has had a hugely positive impact on my practice. We've gone from doing just the odd pregnancy scan once every few weeks to one day doing four cardiac scans, including Doppler, and discovering regurgitant heart murmurs that we didn't know existed before doing the scan.
As a result of the purchase, we are doing far more ultrasonography, and have improved immensely the quality of our ultrasound for our patients and clients, the vets have felt confident with more precise diagnosis and the nurses have been fascinated by the images that these technologies reveal. The financial transaction with MIUS was straightforward and I can confidently state that we have re-couped the cost of the purchase in the first year.

MIUS have been a wonderful help in not only helping us decide upon the right machine for us but, from delivery to follow up, the service has been second to none. We now have the perfect solution for our ultrasound needs. Thank you.

My practice recently purchased a Sonos 4500 reconditioned ultrasound machine from Mount Ultrasound Services. The purchase was influenced by our experience at their recent open day when we were shown around their impressive facilities. I was reassured that , should we purchase from Mount Ultrasound, the service and backup facilities would be there to ensure a trouble-free service life for the equipment.My colleague and I were also impressed by the enthusiasm and knowledge of the staff. The unit was installed on schedule with minimum disruption, and there was an enlightening "hands on" introductory session during which we were able to scan a patient in heart failure using the Doppler facility with impressive results. I can wholeheartedly recommend Mount Ultrasound Services and I look forward to a productive relationship with them in the future.

This year we purchased a reconditioned machine from MIUS. The company's representative, Fraser Yule, patiently helped us make the right choice according to our budget and anticipated needs, and we took delivery soon afterwards. Everything arrived in good order, and Fraser spent a good deal of time with us instructing us in the use of the machine. Subsequently we receive as much help as we need from him as we continue to push forward the limits of our ultrasound capability
Martin Hall, Copthorne Vets, Shrewsbury
Lucy Rivett, Summerhill Vets
MIUS helped us choose the right machine and probes for our practice and workload. Their staff set all the equipment up, familiarised us with the controls and tutored us on how to get the best images. As our experience, and questions grew they were always at the end of the telephone for any query we had. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any veterniary practice who wish to upgarde their ultrasound machine

That was an interesting twist this week.
We're really enjoying the change in format. The combined reward/immunity challenge gives us so much more time with the castaways, and this episode was jam packed with interesting events.
Here's the tribes after episode 2.
We think the tribes will merge down to two next week. We also think there will be two castaways voted out next week. Jo Ann thinks Cao Boi and Jessica will be voted out next. Stacy says it will be Parvati and Nathan.
Who's your pick for the next castaway(s) to get voted out? Do you think they will merge down to two tribes? If so, how do you think they'll choose the new tribes? Who do you predict will be the other rumored romance this season?
We've got several ways you can reach us. You can call and leave a voicemail at 206-350-JASS(5277). You can record an audio comment and attach it or just type up a quick text message and send it to us via email at email@example.com. Lastly, there's a link for comments on the web page here.

Despite his undisputed abilities and his promising early work, his contribution to Welsh scholarship proved to be erratic and uneven. However, his songs for children in Cerddi Huw Puw ( 1923 ), Cerddi Robin Goch ( 1935 ) and Cerddi Portinllaen ( 1936 ), many of which are based on sailors ' songs he had heard during his youth, bear the marks of a genius. His posthumous book of poems, Cerddi Edern a cherddi ereill ( 1955 ), contains many lyrics which will undoubtedly live. One could add that his reminiscences of the Welsh society he knew early in life, and his comments on it, are always interesting and very penetrating.

I'm sure you realize that the system is broke
Things are now not what we have been sold. We were told to be good boys and girls, to go to school, get good grades and go to college. And if we did those things we would get a good job, have money in our retirement accounts and it would all be okay. You know…
It's the 4040 retirement plan
The kind of plan where you work 40 hours a week and you'll live "happily" ever after. But that's not reality.
According to research. The majority of folks only have three to ten thousand dollars to their name when they retire. Statistics show most people don't even have a thousand dollars in their bank account. And people who are going to college today are racking up record debt. Sixty, seventy, eighty, a hundred thousand dollars or more in debt. And when they graduate… they get a job that keeps them stuck and can barely pay the interest down on that debt. That's if they get a job at all!
I was somebody who did okay in high school and I went on to college but never thought it was for me. So I limped through it like most people limp through life. And ever since I got out of college I've been self employed. I've never had a 9-5 job and never will. WHY?
Because I understand the value of time more than most
My father passed away when I was 3 years old and through most of my young adult life I felt sort of empty and lost. But that also molded me into who I am today. Never having that father figure to help guide me forced me to figure things out on my own. It contributed to me being self sufficient and…
It's a big reason why I'm an entrepreneur and always have been.
When my kids were born…that entrepreneurial spirit was cemented into my existence. I wanted to give my children the father I never had. I wanted to give them MY TIME.
That's a HUGE part of my why.
It's about spending as much time as I want with them and whenever I want. I'll never miss a dance recital, a basketball practice or anything for that matter. I wanted to own my own time and decided I will never trade time for money. So I learned how to become an entrepreneur.
Create a life by design that will give you the freedom of time
I discovered internet marketing and real estate investing. And over the course of the last decade or so, I've gone from completely broke and bankrupt to living the dream life.
Living a life by design
I've been able to travel the country teaching others how they can do the same. I take afternoons and sometimes days off during the week to do things I'm passionate about like running and hiking. I've been able to meet the woman of my dreams, drive the cars I want to drive and more. It's not because I'm any smarter than you or because I'm any smarter than anybody else. I'm not.
And none of that matters anyway – not in today's economy; it doesn't.
It matters that you know how to leverage the power of the Internet.
There are more Wi-Fi and internet millionaires popping up right now than ever. They are working in coffee shops, in shorts and flip-flops and tank tops. It's an underground world of people who are leveraging their laptops and smartphones, not just to scroll Facebook with…but to make money.
So here's my question.
Would you like to do the same thing? Would you actually like to make money with your laptop or phone? Or do you want to sit around and waste time scrolling on Facebook looking at cat pictures?
Are you one of those people that wants to figure out how to use your laptop and smart phone to break free so you can make a few extra hundred dollars a month, a few extra thousands dollars part time, or a even a full time income making tens of thousands of dollars? If so, then I applaud and support you.
Become A lifestyle entrepreneur
I've built a multi six figure a year business around the lifestyle I want to live, instead of building my lifestyle around my business.
The idea of the "Lifestyle Entrepreneur", was popularized by Tim Ferris in his book the Four Hour Work Week. It's the type of entrepreneur I think most of us would love to be.
Traditional entrepreneurship spends a lot of time on the a-z of running a business, the nuts and bolts of it all. In fact the core focus is building the business itself. This is asking a lot and often times you end up sacrificing the reason why you wanted to become an entrepreneur and business owner in the first place.
A lifestyle Entrepreneur starts with a much simpler concept and one that requires a different approach.
Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Focus on Three Core Things….
1. Freedom Of Location.
The ability to work where you want and when you want.
2. Low Fixed Costs.
The ability to start, grow, and scale your business with low overhead.
3. The flexibility of Time.
The ability to manage the business with as little time invested as needed.
It's about being able to do what you want, when you want and to be able to do those things with the people you love and care about the most.
Again I'm no genius. I'm just someone who is passionate about living life on my own terms and I want to invite you to do the same. I want to invite you to attend a free training that will break down the simplest way I know to get started. This is an entire business model that anybody can use no matter if you have any experience or even if you're technically challenged.
Learn how to get everything setup quickly and at low cost so you can begin "living the dream life". If that sounds like something that's attractive to you…

Death & Burial Information
In reply to:
WW II Death and Burial Question
Jan Boutwell 8/28/05
There seems to be some confusion here. Are you looking for Roy Walter Goodman or Walter Edward Goodman. If the date of death - 14 February 1942 - is correct, there would probably be no IDPF. Also, I find nothing on either ever having lived in the locales you've mentioned.
W. E. G.'s service number, 20 505 269, indicates he enlisted in the National Guard sometime after September 1940. Too many unknowns here.
You can't always rely on "family stories".

Re: An Aguilar Branch in South of Guanajuato
In reply to:
Re: An Aguilar Branch in South of Guanajuato
I'm told that my Grandfather Juan Aguilar (1906-1943) came from San Francisco De Rico Guanajuato Mexico. Could he be part of the Aguilar branch south of Guanajuato?
He had two brothers (one named Gregory, the other ?), married the former Petra Ortega, had four children - Dan, Freddy, Angelina and Paul - my Father. He lived, worked, and died in Butte, Montana. Beyond that, I really don't have much information. I would appreciate any help in learning more about my family tree. Thanks in advance.

I'M a Celebrity's Lisa Snowdon says she has given up on having kids because her previous relationships were miserable, despite a five-year romance with movie heart-throb George Clooney.
Revealing the real reason behind her baby heartache, the radio host, 44, claims she has never been happy enough with a man to start a family.
She told The Sun after her eviction on Sunday: "It's something I have kind of come to terms with. A lot of the younger ones in there want children or have children.
"I always wanted to be a mum when I was younger — it was something I always imagined doing and being.
"But slowly over the years it just hasn't happened for various reasons, mostly the fact that I wasn't in happy relationships and I just didn't want to have a baby and not have a happy home.
"I didn't want to have an unhappy pregnancy, I just didn't."
Lisa was the envy of millions of women when she dated Clooney, 55. The couple met on the set of an advert for Martini in Spain in 2000 before he booked her a flight to visit him in Los Angeles.
They soon struck up a long-term romance, splitting their time between his New York apartment and her home in Essex.
After they split in 2005, Lisa dated footballer Jay Bothroyd, 34, and CSI actor Gary Dourdan, 49.
I've found George and we are just happy that we have each other. Sometimes you have to be grateful for what you've got
She also had a turbulent relationship with communications manager Adereti Monney, 38, who once attacked her during a heated row.
The Capital FM star is now dating entrepreneur George Smart, her friend of 15 years.
Lisa briefly spoke in the Australian jungle about having kids, where she discussed leaving it too late with campmate Ola Jordan, 34.
She and new man George have conceded they will not have children. She said: "I'm 45 in January and it hasn't happened.
"Rather than feel sorry for myself, I've found George and we are just happy that we have each other. Sometimes you have to be grateful for what you've got.
"I feel content in the fact we have made that decision between us and I'm just a really rocking auntie. That's going to be my role."
She added: "We're making a rule, none of this long-distance business any more. We'll not be out of contact like that again. Wedding bells? I'll keep you posted."

Since the start of training camp, New Orleans Pelicans coach Monty Williams has put the onus on his team's guards.
Not to knock down open shots or to drive to the basket more effectively and find open teammates. Not so much to keep the turnovers down, although that's an emphasis, too.
The main thing Williams has been harping on with his guards since Sept. 30, when camp began, is to be better defensive rebounders this season. Although the Pelicans have added center Omer Asik, they were 19th in the NBA in rebound differential last season.
"We can't put all of the responsibility on Omer and (power forward Anthony Davis)," Williams said. "All of our guys have to share in that responsibility, especially our guards."
Playing against the Washington Wizards on Monday night in Baltimore, the Pelicans will get one final dress rehearsal to get it right.
They have one more preseason game after that — Thursday night in Bossier City against the Dallas Mavericks. But the reserves are scheduled to get the bulk of the minutes in that game as they try to make one last impression to make the Pelicans roster or catch the eye of other teams.
Washington looks like a good final gauge. Even though starting shooting guard Bradley Beal is expected to sit out with a sprained ankle, the Wizards guards — Beal, John Wall and Glen Rice Jr. — are known for going to the boards.
"They don't have as good as rebounders as we have, as far as (big men)," guard Eric Gordon said. "So (Washington's guards) have more opportunities, but they get a lot of rebounds."
The teams met Oct. 8 in Jacksonville, Fla., and the Wizards won 94-89. They outrebounded the Pelicans 48-41, with Rice getting seven rebounds (three offensive), Beal five and Wall two. Even though the Pelicans got more offensive rebounds — 12 to 10 — the Wizards were able to get some key baskets off them.
Even in the 120-86 blowout of depleted Oklahoma City on Thursday at the Smoothie King Center, Williams bemoaned the fact that the Pelicans allowed 13 offensive rebounds in the first half to the Thunder, who finished with 17. Although New Orleans outrebounded Houston in Tuesday's 117-98 win, the Rockets had 11 offensive rebounds to the Pelicans' six.
"When you're playing so hard, to give up an extra possession, it hurts your team," Williams said. "A lot of it's the guards."
In the past two games, Austin Rivers has taken Williams' edict to heart and pulled down five rebounds in each game, leading the way for the team's guards. Rivers said Williams and the preseason statistics are the reasons he has tried to focus on it more.
"We're 25th, 26th in rebounding," Rivers said. "We have Asik and Anthony Davis, and we have big, athletic guards. We feel like we should be among the top (teams) in rebounding."
There are reasons the guards' assistance is needed in defensive rebounding. With Asik and Davis expected to be aggressive trying to block shots, their teammates need to have their backs as far as grabbing rebounds.
And when guards rebound, it speeds up the fast break because the big men can get out and run quicker. The Pelicans likely will not win many rebound battles at small forward, so the guards must chip into that discrepancy.
But most important, it eliminates opponents' offensive rebounding. Other than a highly effective post-up player, offensive rebounds are key to increasing field-goal percentage, which at the same time allows that team to set up its defense.
"It seems every time a team gets an offensive rebound," Rivers said, "it always ends up in a (3-pointer) because you're scrambling. You go from getting a stop to giving up a 3-pointer. That's a five-point swing, just like that. So you really have to eliminate those plays, because they can kill a team."
NOTE: On Sunday, the Pelicans had more of their usual practice than the full-scale scrimmage that was planned. Gordon, who missed Thursday's game against Oklahoma City with back spasms, participated and said he had no problems.

Stefan Zweig's Burning Secret
Ulrich Weinzierl
The life and work of Stefan Zweig from a radical new perspective. Who was – who is – Stefan Zweig? A writer read worldwide to this day, the first true European in German literature and a man with an outstanding gift for friendship.
Ulrich Wienzierl presents an intimate and ingenious psychological portrait of Zweig's character.
Stefan Zweig: the melancholy contemporary witness of Die Welt von Gestern who took his life in his self imposed Brazilian exile. Ulrich Weinzierl homes in on his private life. How did Friderike Maria von Winternitz manage to turn the dyed-in-the-wool bachelor into such an appalling husband? Was Zweig, author of Verwirrung der Gefühle really a closet homosexual as is often claimed? No, he wasn't. So what was the true secret of his life, the burning issue that very nearly landed him in prison?
Zweig's life poses many sensitive questions – most of which remain unanswered after his death. Ulrich Weinzierl examines these questions in the form of a psychological analysis – an intimate portrait of the man and a history of his friendships. From Sigmund Freud to Klaus Mann, his friends were holy to him — but his story, in the final analysis, was one of betrayal.

Master Boot Record, fully synthesized chiptune metal: https://masterbootrecord.bandcamp.com/a ... pt-request
At least there's a human somewhere choosing to put the notes together. Will AI eventually compose all our music?

Re: It creeps me out that this is so awesome
Four tracks in, it does start to grate on the ears. Some nice musical ideas here, but the tones are too harsh.
Re: It creeps me out that this is so awesome
The problem with so much of the fully synth music is that it gets incredibly samey. There's so little soul in it. MBR is fun for a time, though.

Save the Date – November 18th, 2017
Well, it's that time of the year again where we are super excited to welcome Missoula Children's Theatre to Medina Elementary. This year's performance will be the unique interpretation of the treasured children's classic, Gulliver's Travels! For those of you who are new to our school, the Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT), the Nation's largest touring children's theatre, has been touring extensively for several years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives at Medina Elementary on November 13th, 2017 with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play...except the cast. That's where our talented, young students come in. An MCT tour team will hold open auditions for Gulliver's Travels after school starting Monday, 11/13. The audition/rehearsal time will start at 2:45 pm in the cafeteria. There will be after school rehearsals every day the week of November 13th, followed by two performances on Saturday, 11/18, at 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm. There is no charge to attend the performances.
Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project. MCT's mission is to develop life skills in children through participation in the performing arts. Be sure to mark your calendar and join in the fun!
Click HERE for audition information.
*** MCT play is open to a limited number of actors. Should your child not receive a role this time, click HERE to learn how to help kids deal with disappointment If your child does not deal well with disappointment, this activity may not be for them at this time.
*** We are looking for two families who would like to host the two MCT Tour Actor/Directors. The host families will provide the housing for the MCT Tour Actor/Directors for 7 nights, from Sunday Nov 12th afternoon to Sunday 19th morning. The Tour Actor/Directors and the host families often have wonderful memories and may launch new friendships. This is a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange for the team and the host families. Acceptance is guaranteed if a host family's child wants to be in the show. First come, first serve.
Questions about MCT? Want to host?
Please contact Dongqin Feng or Julia Zhu at firstname.lastname@example.com or 425-394-9437.

New Zealand bee pests and diseases include Nosema Apis, Malpighamoeba mellifica and acarine mites. American Foulbrood has been present since 1877, and the Varroa mite first discovered in 2000 on the North Island, 2008 on the South Island.
European Foulbrood is not present in NZ.
(Source: Wikipedia)
Dr Mark Goodwin of HortResearch says our bees "are looking great" compared to those overseas at the moment, the experience of the past 25 years suggests that eventually everything gets here for example, the parasitic varroa mite, which attacks honey bees.
A varroa-borne virus is uppermost on the list of Goodwin's suspects.
Another prominent suspect is the introduction of a new breed of insecticide over the past 10 years: neonicotinoids that work by disrupting insects' nervous system. There is a widespread suspicion that these chemicals are finding their way into the nectar to be picked up by foraging bees.
Tests on dead bees in one region in Germany showed that 99% of those examined had a build-up of the neonicotinoid Clothianidin sold by Bayer under the trade name Poncho. The company said that this was a result of an application error.
In New Zealand, the Environmental Risk Management Agency has licensed 23 neonicotinoid-based products on the market, including Poncho.
Penn State University entomologist Maryan Frazier has said that the sheer number of chemicals in bee hives meant pesticides had to be suspected.
(Source: Sunday Star Times, NZ)
National Beekeepers Association joint chief executive Daniel Paul said reports coming in to the group were causing concern.
In the past six months, it had received reports of significant bee losses – up to 30 per cent in some places.
Although the varroa bee mite has been blamed for losses in the past 11 years, the use of chemical treatments has been helping bee numbers recover.
Now, concern has arisen about a new family of insecticides, neonicotinoids, which are used to coat seeds and control pests.
They are neurotoxins and are believed to interfere with a bee's nervous system.
Association vice-president Barry Foster said international studies had shown neonicotinoids induced chronic mortality in bees.
They had been identified as a potential cause of colony collapse disorder, which could decimate a bee population with devastating consequences.
"It is estimated that without bees to pollinate crops and pastures, supermarket shelves would be largely empty of many foodstuffs that Kiwis expect to pile into grocery trolleys during their weekly shop."
Some uses of the chemical had been banned in Italy, Germany and France, and Mr Foster said it was time for the Environmental Risk Management Authority to consider reassessing its use.
(Source: Business Day, NZ)
We at Goodisplanetearth have consistently warned against the use of neonicotinoid based pesticides in connection with CCD, for several years.

Valentines Day, other wise known as the Hallmark and other fine retailers make a profit day, is more of a holiday for the economy than anything else. For couples, its an excuse to go out to eat, exchange presents and have sex. But for single people, its the best night to go out especially for guys looking to get laid. What?... Im just being honest. It weeds out all those in a relationship so its a free-for-all and a solid opportunity to meet other single people.
If you dont want a prefix three course meal at an expensive steak house when you dont even eat meat, well dont worry because there is plenty to do otherwise.
I present to you the Fuck Valentines Day party menu...
Tonight at Snug Harbor is Shiprockeds Fuck Romance, Lets Dance. But for D-Day, er, I mean, V-Day...
* Wave your freak flag at Purgatory XLII: St. Valentines Day Massacure where you will find erotic acts, interactive fetish play areas, and a human red carpet... literally a carpet of people, probably red because theyre bleeding from people digging their heels into them.
* Anti-Valentine's Day Charity Bash at Cans.
* Luv Sux at Howl at the Moon with games including Nuts N Bolts and Buckets N Balls.
If you bring a mutilated picture of your ex youll receive discounted admission? What is up with all this mutilating and shredding of pictures? I found it just as effective to simply delete photos from Facebook and removing them from your desktop... But do what you gotta do.
* MingleBerry is having a Single's Mingle: An Anti-Valentine's Day Party For the Non Lover in You at The Ember Grille within the Westin.
Since Valentines Day falls on a Saturday it seems to be Valentines Weekend in the Charlotte nightlife scene... as if one night wasnt enough. But its Friday the 13th... either something freaky is set to happen or people all over the country are just going to get their freak on.
Cason-Point: The Great American Makeout at the EpiCentre hosted by Justin Bobby from MTVs The Hills.
Am I normal because I have no idea who that is? And by the EpiCentre they mean Blackfinn where theyre having a VIP dinner at 7 p.m. followed by frisky festivities at Whisky River including the record-setting smooch. Benefit the Childrens Heart Foundation by swapping spit with a stranger.
Also on Friday the 13th...
The Anti-Valentines Single Beer Pong Tournament at Alley Cat. No partner, no problem theres no teams for the Friday the 13th King of the Hill Tournament!
And if you are taking the bitter bus out this weekend, why not go to Angry Ales for their Anti-Valentines Day party?
And because laughing is so much more fun than going to the Bitter Ball... The Chuckleheads are having a fundraising party at Beef O Bradys in Fort Mill on Friday and Last Comic Standings Dale Jones is going to be at ALIVE on Saturday.
And for guys really needing to get laid, Girls Gone Wild is going to be at BAR Charlotte... of course.
And for another installment of Brittneys Random Revelations...
Although the thought is sweet I dont fully understand the concept of giving cookies and chocolates via Facebook... is that like the diet form of giving sweets to sweeties. And why do guys think its a good idea to get grown women stuffed animals? What are we, 10? We decorate our bed with throw pillows... not teddy bears. I even covered this on ESPNUs Campus Connections Valentines Day segment.

We have the light of the Lord within if we are Christians.
The scriptures tell us that women are the weaker vessel;
But I think in a way it is like a Pansy flower;
Soft and delicate, very fine color and attractive!
A flower in the very sense of the word;
But a pansy flower can stand up to brutal cold temps,
To be covered in a foot of snow!
Yet, they do more than survive, they thrive!
They can grow in the shade, even in soil made up of pine needles.
They stay alive with even very little water.
So I think of women that in many ways may be weaker;
But I see the makeup of A sturdy and strong strength;
That come from within...
To endure tough situations
Giving birth
Holding the hand of someone dying
Being an advocate for someone with no words
Protecting our children
Loving in the face of rejection
Waiting till the time of revelation of a situation...
The saying of don't be a Pansy, brings a whole new spin on that one!
I may cry, but I can still see through my tears!
Scripture tells us sorrow may last through the night;
But JOY comes in the morning...
I am thankful for the strength to do more than survive,
But we are called to thrive and set our hand to the plow;
And to break up that fallow ground!
Even a Pansy can break through a hard and cracked surface;
And bend its head into the rays of warm sunshine and smiles.
The Pansy smiles into the face of adversity...

Data Informed, a leading resource for business and IT professionals looking to plan and implement their data analytics and management strategies, published an article calling the University of Cincinnati's Master of Science in Business Analytics a name brand in big data education with a stellar record of job placement.
The publication interviewed Ed Winkofsky, Academic Director of the Master of Science in Business Analytics program and he highlighted differentiating points that make the program standout from other business analytics degree programs. Students must have a rigorous background in math, ensuring that graduates not only can use analytics tools, but also understand the theories behind them. The curriculum is consistently updated to reflect the changing needs in the business analytics environment. Recently added courses include statistical computing and data management.
The school has a close connection with business and corporate partners through UC's Center for Business Analytics. "These partners provide our students with real world data analytics experience and career opportunities," Winkofsky said. Students can fulfill program requirements through internships and class projects with member companies through the Center and the program is continually updated with feedback from their corporate partners and the program's graduates.
