Skill shortage in South Africa and my choice of career
According to the Department of Higher Education & Training (Government Gazette 19 January 2016 the list of skills shortage is quite extensive. http://www.d )het.gov.za/Gazette/Government Towards the end of Grade 9 you need to have an idea more or less what you want to do after school. Not just is it important to know what you want to study, but it is also important for you know what you like and dislike and what your strong and weaker points are. If you like to design, construct and maintain things, perhaps Engineering is the field for you. Engineers are people who design, construct,...Read More

Your gums hold your teeth in place, making them a pretty important part of your mouth. If you have gum disease, waiting to seek treatment increases the risk that your gums will recede, making it more likely that you will lose some of your teeth. One of the available treatment options is laser gum therapy, a less invasive alternative to gum surgery. Here is what you need to know before discussing this procedure with your dentist.
Scaling Back on Plaque
Laser gum therapy is often used in conjunction with a procedure called scaling and root planing. During this procedure, a dentist removes plaque and bacterial toxins from the roots of the teeth. Doing so reduces inflammation and may slow the progression of gum disease. If you are interested in laser therapy, talk to your dentist to make sure you are a good candidate for the scaling and root planing procedure.
Getting to the Root of the Problem
You may be a candidate for laser therapy if your gums have receded, exposing the roots of your teeth. Not only do exposed roots change the appearance of your smile, they also make your teeth more sensitive to hot and cold. If you are concerned about your appearance or tired of avoiding ice cream, milkshakes, coffee, tea, or hot foods, laser therapy can help.
Kicking Fear to the Curb
If the thought of undergoing invasive gum surgery has you cowering in the corner, you may prefer laser therapy over traditional gum surgery. In some cases, the dentist does not even need to use a local anesthetic to perform laser gum treatment. This procedure also causes less bleeding and tissue damage than traditional gum surgery, reducing discomfort and helping you keep your dental anxiety in check. If you suffer from severe dental anxiety, ask if your dentist is willing to prescribe a mild anti-anxiety medication for you to take shortly before the procedure.
Grafting for Success
It may be necessary to have a free gingival gum graft before you have laser therapy. If you need a graft, your dentist will remove a piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth and use the tissue to increase the thickness of your gums. This improves your chances of a successful outcome from the laser treatment. Gum grafts typically cost anywhere from $600 to $1,200 to treat the base of one tooth, so you may want to explore alternatives to laser treatment if a graft is not in your budget.
Laser therapy causes less discomfort than traditional gum surgery, but it's not right for everyone. For more information, visit http://www.neufamilydental.com or a similar website.Share

Josh Brolin revealed the first, full body look at Cable today for his upcoming role in Deadpool 2. The reveal was made on his Instagram account, where he captioned it with the hashtags "Youremine" and "Deadpool".
You can see his cybernetic arm and eye, and Brolin is definitely packing some heavy heat when it comes to his firearm of choice. Of course, the little teddy bear on his hip is a nice touch as well. In case you're not familiar, Cable is a time traveling mercenary who is also Cyclops and Jean Grey's son. He travels back in time to stop the rise of Apocalypse, and often uses Deadpool as a partner.
Cable is basically the dry humor version of Deadpool, and often substitutes matter of fact humor for Deadpool's sarcasm. One of his lovers, Domino, has also been cast in the film and will be played by Zazie Beetz. She was a member of his mercenary crew, aptly called the Six Pack.
No trailer has been released yet, which isn't surprising considering still have ten and a half months until release. We can be sure that the back and forth comedy from the comics will be front and center in the film, and we can only wait to see Cable fire up the gun for real.
The Instagram isn't embedding properly, so we included a screen shot of the post below.

Parent – Teacher Meeting
It is important to meet with your child's teachers to stay abreast of his/her performance. When it's time to meet with your student's teacher(s) for a seminar, it's best to take a few moments to prepare.
Here are a few suggestions that will help you make the most of Parent-Teacher-Meeting:-
Begin by talking with your student. See if there are any topics your student thinks you need to discuss with the teacher. Then think about your own questions or concerns. Is there information you want the teacher to know about your student? Do you have questions about school programs or policies? It's a good idea to make a list. Consider including your child in the meeting. He/she should be charged with personal responsibility for improvement.
The Seminar – Some good questions to ask are:
How rigorous is this course compared with other sections of this subject?
How well does my student get along with others?
What are my student's strengths and vulnerabilities?
Is my student working up to his or her ability?
Does my student participate in class discussions and activities?
Has my student missed any classes?
Have you noticed any sudden changes in the way my student acts? For example, have you noticed any squinting, tiredness or moodiness that might be a sign of physical or other problems.
What kind of tests are administered? What do the tests tell you about my student's progress? How does my student handle taking tests?
It is a good idea to ask your most important questions first, just in case time runs out before you and the teacher have a chance to discuss them all.
Be sure to ask the teacher for specific suggestions on ways to help your student do better. This is the most important part of the meeting. It will become your action plan. If the teacher says something you don't quite understand, don't be shy about asking for an explanation.
It's a good idea to end the meeting by summing up decisions you've made together.
If needed, ask to meet again.

Dye Job, Part II
And here it is, all dry and in a skein.
It's the new teammate for the Amazing Lace ... see? A little blurry, but the color is fairly true.
This was Really Big Fun. I have acquired some natural Cascade 220, having been unable to find more fingering weight, and beaucoup Kool-Aid. Next up, purple for July!
On a completely unrelated note, I wanted to say how excited I have been to get comments from new people. Thanks for delurking! Unfortunately, because Blogger makes it really difficult to backtrack the comments, I have been unable to acknowledge them all personally. Waah! I wish you all had blogs. I'd love to get to know you and your knitting!
*For some reason, Blogger would not let me put any more pictures in the other post. So I'm doing this in two parts.

"I can't believe how naive and childish you are behaving Pansy," he said angrily beside her. "You are just as bad as every other girl in this house, and all the others. Fawning over him, what makes him so bloody special?"
Pansy sighed, and looked from Draco to the boy sitting next to her. "I'm not fawning, I don't think I have to go into details as to why he's special do I? Besides I have an edge over them all don't I? It's all but set in stone that Draco and I will be together."
"I wouldn't be so sure of that," Theodore said quietly. "I really don't see it, all I see is a pampered little boy who has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. He's never had to work for everything in his entire life."
"He works for things," she defended. "And what do you mean when you say 'I wouldn't be so sure of that'? What have you heard?"
"I've seen things, I'm surprised you haven't actually. And the only thing I've seen Draco work for is to beat Potter at Quidditch, and he doesn't do that too well now does he."
"It's not his fault that Potter cheats!"
"He doesn't cheat," he said packing his books into his bag. "I'll see you in the morning."
Pansy watched him walk towards the door to the boys dorm, "Theo, what do you see?" She called out.
He just shook his head, and went through the door.
"Bugger," she said softly, turning back and seeing Draco flirt and joke with the younger girls. He was wrong. Draco and her were meant to be. Pansy would set it in stone herself if she had to.
"Someone really has to let the Mudblood of her bloody high horse," she spat.
Pansy had got caught in the crowd, and was unable to get close enough to hear what was being said. All she could gather was that Draco and the mudblood had been interrupted in the middle of a blazing argument. She was dying to know what it was about, all in good time though.
"Careful Pansy, that kind of talk will get you into trouble these days," Theodore said coming up next to her.
She just tutted, "do you know what's happening?"
"Nope, I was just coming from the library, got caught in the rush to witness the blue between the Head students."
"Bloody Granger," she cursed. "It would be all her fault I'd wager. She just has to stick her nose in where it is not wanted."
"It's not exactly unwanted Pansy," he said.
"You know Theodore Nott," she said turning to him, hands on her hips. "I've just about had enough of all your stupid comments. Now you are going to tell me what the hell you know, and you had better tell me soon."
He looked at the altercation in front of them, "fine. Meet me here after curfew, I imagine you can sneak out."
"Of course," she said. "I'll see you tonight then," Pansy left them then. Deciding to head back to the common room to be there when Draco got back.
She stood in the shadows waiting, it had been easy to sneak out. No one particularly cared either way, and she was a Prefect, so they didn't stop her. Pansy was just careful not to be spotted by a Professor. She nearly jumped out of her skin when a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back further.
"Damn it Theo!" She snarled in a hoarse whisper, "was that really necessary?"
"Quiet," he whispered urgently. "If you want to know, you'd better keep it down. It won't happen if there is any noise at all, they don't make those kind of mistakes."
"Know what? This better not be some ploy or prank."
"It's not, they'll be coming soon. It's like clockwork, and always this corridor. The most private one in the school."
"Who?" She asked, and then she heard them, footsteps and quiet voices. Pansy stuck her head out a little, and then promptly pulled it back when she saw them. Draco and the Mudblood, patrolling.
She strained her ears, trying to pick up what they were saying.
It was quite a show. I do my best.
I do my best.
Her eyes widened as she watched, Draco pulled her over to him. Whispered something that made her laugh softly, and then kiss him. Kiss Draco, her Draco. He didn't stop her, he let her, and then didn't object as she took his hand, and lead him down the corridor.
She slumped back as they disappeared, she felt Theo moving over to her. "I didn't want to tell you Pansy, but I care about you too much to let you keep carrying on thinking Draco and you were a sure thing."
"He's supposed to be with me," she said quietly. "He will be with me, this is just a passing fancy. The one thing that'll piss off Daddy the most."
"I don't call six months a passing fancy, and Mr Malfoy knows."
"He knows? Why hasn't he been here then, raising all kinds of objections?"
"You know Mr Malfoy, always an opportunist. He knows he has to be seen on the winning side now, what better than your own son and the muggleborn."
"It doesn't make any sense," she said shaking her head. "It was going to be me, it's supposed to be me."
"It's not always the ones you expect Pansy."
Complete. (Really.)

Building safety hazards course curriculum:
Here we list major building & indoor environmental safety hazards, and we discuss how to detect and protect from safety & environmental hazards in homes and other buildings.
We include links to detailed safety articles on important building hazards facing home owners, property owners, tenants, office workers, and repair contractors as well as for building and home inspectors, contractors, and for building owners who need to inspect or test the condition of their building.
We also provide a MASTER INDEX to this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need.
News: on 12 March 2018, ISO 45001, Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard, was published for the first time. This safety standard, developed by experts from more than seventy countries and organizations began with the British safety standard OHSAS 18001, the U.S. ANSI Z10 safety standard, the Canadian CSA Z1000 standard, and ILO's OHSMS guidelines.
Reporting on the key elements in the new ISO 45001 safety standard, Vic Toy noted that according to the International Organization for Standardization had reported an annual 2.2 million work-related fatalities, of which 80% were ascribed to occupational disease. Toy also cited 374 million non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses per year, pointing out that these staggering numbers surely merit improved health and safety management world wide. - Toy, Vic, "The Long Road to ISO 45001, Key Elements of the First Global Health and Safety Management Systems Standard", American Industrial Hygiene Association, The Synergist, 3141 Fairview Park Dr, Ste 777, Falls Church VA 22042 USA, June/July 2018 pp. 24-27, author email: email@example.com.
The article series given here focuses on home and small building safety standards that put owners, occupants, inspectors, and contractors at special risk.
- Daniel Friedman 03/26/2008 - 7/20/2018 orignal presentation to the Connecticut Association of Home Inspectors
Abstract - this brief paper is a summary of HOME INSPECTION SAFETY HAZARDS [web article] where we offer detailed safety advice for building & home inspectors who, as building professionals, are charged both with protecting themselves, their clients, and the occupants of buildings that they inspect. The purpose of this class and the accompanying index to safety articles by topic are to reduce the chance of serious injury or death for building & home occupants as well as for contractors, buildingcode compliance inspectors, home inspectors, other building inspectors, and contractors.
The range of hazards faced by home inspectors in the course of examining buildings is considerable. It includes obvious catastrophes such as falling off of a roof or electrocution, and less obvious or less likely events such as structural collapse, exposure to bacterial hazards, fungal hazards, or even physical attack by violent building occupants, biting dogs, sneaky snakes, and pecking parrots.
Home inspectors and other professional building diagnosticians are expected to be observant and attentive to detail. Despite these skills, accidents happen to inspectors.
A Canadian home inspector fell to his death during a roofing inspection. He was ascending a high ladder which he suspected was unsafe. Following a home inspection in New Paltz, NY, Ballinger, a real estate agent who was angry with the results of the inspection, attacked and attempted to kill Steve Vermilye by driving his car off of the pavement, across a sidewalk, crashing into a building wall where Vermilye was walking. Another home inspector was badly injured when an attic fold-down stair fell out of its opening as the inspector was climbing it.
Hazards that an inspector should recognize affect other people too. An aggressive tenant threatened two elderly inspection clients with a rifle and then showered them with stones. An electrical inspector was killed by an electrical arc explosion while removing the cover of an electrical panel. A plumber was killed while leaning over a water pressure tank that, lacking a pressure relief valve, exploded.
We will list some of the more egregious and more interesting of these dangerous building hazards, review accident case histories, and we will illustrate procedures of attention, observation, and hazard recognition that can reduce the chances of accidents during building inspections.
We are more afraid of improbable hazards beyond our control (EMF) than we are of probable hazards over which we have control (smoking cigarettes).
Some accidents are more or less likely to occur than we believe. Some accidents are likely to result in greater or lesser degree of injury than we believe. Having a more accurate picture of where hazardous risks lie can help us learn to properly attend accident risks and thus to avoid accidents.
Total Risk = (Probability of Occurrence) x (Cost of Occurrence)
The attention we pay to various risks needs to be adjusted continuously as we move through a building from area to area (basement to roof) and topic to topic (plumbing to electrical).
Tune risk recognition to area and system: The home inspector's recognition of risks needs to attend the hazards peculiar to each building area and system.
Educate to improve hazard recognition and to teach safe inspection procedures: The level of inspector technical education affects the inspector's ability to recognize hazards and to reduce accidents.
List of Building & Mechanical System Related Safety Topics: Readers should see our list of major building & indoor environmental safety hazards, inspection methods, & remedies listed at the left of these pages. Readers should also see our list of building inspector safety articles
at Home Inspection Education & Services - Safety Articles.
The accident rate of injury by slipping, tripping, or falling is among the highest facing home inspectors and home owners.
Falls: The highest risk of injury by falls occurs among the elderly but falls are a particular hazard for home inspectors because of the need to access attics, roofs, and also simply because of the distractions while inspecting any building site. "Falls represent the most frequent non-transportation related accidents occurring among older adults and are the leading cause of home fatalities for this population.
Canadian home inspector fatality, inspector ascending exterior ladder secured to building knew the ladder was
unsafe, told his wife he was afraid of it but felt he had to ascend to inspect the roof during a
multi-day inspection of a large building. The ladder came away from the building and the inspector
fell to his death. (Ca. 1998)
(see ROOF INSPECTION SAFETY & LIMITS for more details on this topic).
The author has consulted in depth concerning fall injuries and has performed case studies investigating stair and rail accident and injury lawsuits. The full paper and the class materials reviewed several falling lawsuits for which the author was consulted.
Home inspectors are qualified to observe, photo document, and report on physical conditions at a building, such as stairs which are defective for any of a variety of reasons.
How to Avoid Stair, & Railing & Ladder Accidents
Note bad steps and rails to yourself and report orally and in writing to your clients
Ladder feet improperly placed on sloped, uneven, wet, icy, snowy, un-seen, or other slippery surface
Distractions - Bats in the Attic? and other distractions during climbing ladders: people, (client directly overhead while climbing ladder into attic - let's be first honest, second careful, third professional), bees and wasps, birds, bats, pets (more later on biting dogs)
Details and more examples of stupid ladder tricks are found
at SAFETY HAZARDS & INSPECTIONS
Improper steps and rails by dimension or angle or gap (child hazards)
Unsafe attic stairs
Details and an extensive catalog of causes of trips and falls on all types of stairs can be found
at STAIR FALL & TRIP HAZARDS.
Here we give some tips on how to inspect the electrical panel, including the risks of relying on test instruments (resistance drops do not equal bad connections).
Here are some InspectApedia fire safety articles organized by topic:
Watch out: If there is evidence of a fire or unsafe heating equipment or a leaky or unsafe or burning chimney, get everyone out of the building and call for help from your fire department.
Gas tank or gas piping leaks are a potential explosion or fire hazard. There may also be carbon monoxide or other asphyxiation hazards from equipment malfunctions.
Detecting gas leaks, appliance safety controls, what to do when a leak is detected, when to shut down unsafe heating equipment.
Heating system & heating equipment safety articles
At NEST CAM INSTALLATION & USE we describe installing and using Nest dams or drop cams for both home security monitoring and for remote monitoring of a building for leaks, loss of heat, water or ice damage, or for intrusion or security issues.
More about how to protect a building from freeze-damage is
at WINTERIZE - HEAT ON PROCEDURE
We have been testing the performance, reliability, and convenience of the Nest learning thermostat in our lab building since early in 2015 and have found the thermostat reliable, easy to control remotely by smartphone or computer, and an added source of peace of mind when a building is in a freezing climate.
See NEST LEARNING THERMOSTATS
Inspection Hazards at Septic Systems, Drywells, Cesspools
Collapsing covers over tanks, cesspools, drywells, especially wood, steel, or home-made Collapsing site-built septic tanks, cesspools, drywells.
Bacterial (sewage) and fungal (mold) hazards for home inspectors may be present if there has been sewage backup.
See these articles

Masonry structures such as this carriage house in Saugerties, NY, can be very unstable and risk sudden even imminent sudden collapse, depending on just how it is damaged. Broken bond courses in brick are a particular concern
Wood framing and sheathing, especially unsafe roof framing or rotted sheathing
The author inspected this deck and warned of its probable collapse, indicated that it was dangerous, informed the client to "stay off of the deck" until it was repaired.
The author re-inspected the collapsed deck to photograph construction details that led to the structural failure of this component. Litigation was broached.
Watch out: See PLASTER, LOOSE FALL HAZARDS for examples of bulged plaster that may be danger signs, including an example of a collapse of an expanded wire lath ceiling that had been improperly installed.
Watch out: often the framing supporting plaster ceilings in homes built before 1900 was sized to be just strong enough to support the weight of the plaster itself. Such ceiling structures were not intended to support the weight of a curious home owner or home inspector.
Problematic and larger mold reservoirs may be present; risk varies by extent, history, location of leaks, building materials used, mechanical disturbance of moldy materials, other factors.
How to recognize problem molds and cosmetic molds by visual inspection - is it possible? Learn to recognize obviously cosmetic-only mold infections such as BlueStain.
What level of mold exposure is likely to be a risk to home inspectors? More than 30 sq .ft. of highly-airborne-type mold or even small areas of toxic mold if touched to an open cut or an eye.
Mold Inspection / Detection / Testing References:
Dealing with violent or threatening building occupants, dogs, spiders, snakes, rats, other pests; weapons, threats, realtors. When and how to leave a threatening environment. How to get the inspection done.
Note: For reasons that will be apparent, I do not have photographs of these encounters.
Assess the level of risk, monitor and change the assessment as needed Maintain professionalism, calmness, do not respond to hostility. As a professional guiding clients through a building:
Ask that dogs be off premises or confined in areas not to be entered during the inspection. Same for other potentially dangerous or hard to control pets. Do not permit owner's pets to escape, be lost, injured.
Bad People: Leaving the Premises Where Occupants Make Threats
Leave the premises if:
Contact: owner, realtor(s), attorneys, and if appropriate, police;
Do not return to the property without assurance that the potentially dangerous party is not on and will not be on or at the premises
What is the Right or Obligation of a Licensed Home Inspector to
The "last man in the building" [OK better, "last person" or "last professional"] is typically held responsible for subsequent catastrophes such as exploding equipment, fires, shocks, collapses. A professional is expected to be able to observe, evaluate, and act appropriately.

How to Clean a Cast Iron Skillet
Here are the main points about cleaning and maintaining your cast iron skillet.
Dishwasher, dishwashing detergents and scrubbers are not suitable for cleaning
It is not possible to clean the cast iron skillet in a dishwasher, since this can damage the natural protective coating and destroy the patina. Cast iron skillets must not be cleaned with detergent, as this will damage the surface of the cast iron skillet, which makes them very vulnerable to rust. Read more →

Could it be that the nation's infatuation with Fox News is slowly, slowly coming to an end? Looking at long-term cable ratings, you might surmise that on its way to the Tea Party, Fox has indeed jumped a shark or two.
Nothing is simple when it comes to stats or cable news, but consider: Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren have each hit their lowest point in a year or more with the key 25- to 54-year-old demo, according to the latest Nielsens. This twelve- to sixteen-month measurement is more detailed than a "year to year" comparison, which can make a show look strong or weak depending on what particular month you start from. But as a CNN press release happily notes: "May represents The O'Reilly Factor's worst performance since January 2009, Hannity's lowest delivery to date since taking over the time period in January 2009, and [Van Susteren's] On the Record's lowest since May 2009. Fox Report with Shep Smith had its lowest demo delivery since December 2008."
O'Reilly, for instance, had some 625,000 viewers in the 25-54 age range in January 2009, built to a peak of one million by November, and dropped, to 693,000, by May 2010. Hannity and Van Susteren had similar rises and falls. Glenn Beck did not hit a twelve-month-or-more low point. But as Eric Boehlert of Media Matters points out, Beck's numbers have fallen since his high in January, and "after twelve months of hype, Beck has not significantly grown his TV audience."
And, by any measure, if you look at total viewership for all of Fox News, some audience-shedding is also evident. "In total day total viewers, FNC was down 6% year-to-year (while MSNBC was up 3% and CNN was down 16%)," writes Mediaite.
It's true that Fox dwarfs MSNBC and CNN in raw audience numbers and that it's still the number-one cable news channel, with the top eleven shows in both total viewers and the 25-54 group; O'Reilly, Beck, and Hannity still lead the pack, in that order. (Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, the nearest non-Fox hosts, are number twelve and fourteen, respectively.)
But comparing Fox ratings to themselves over a long period does show a trend that calls into question the Fox News Free-Market Theory of Journalistic Evidence: We must be right, and our version of reality must be the truest, because we have the most people watching—in other words, the market is the ultimate Decider. But that audience is currently decreasing—ergo, the market has also decided that Fox is less right and its version of reality less true than it was in the past.

8 Safety Features Of Walk In Tubs}By 9Fs5Ym On September 3rd, 2017
Submitted by: Seniortubs
This is the first and foremost selling point of walk-in tubs: Safety!
With an endless barrage of traditional bathtubs on the market, acquiring a unit with very personalized safety features to meet a seniors mobility needs will set their savings back several thousand dollars, and thats because bathtub companies see certain safety design elements to be too expensive as they require a slightly different method of manufacturing.
Theres a reason why walk-in tubs have become synonymous with the term safety tubs as all models have safety design components that ensure a senior or handicapped war veteran never need help when its time to bathe privately.
The Key Safety Features of Walk In Tubs
To name a few important ones:
A low step-in height: Where traditional bathtubs have an average wall height of 10-12, safety tubs are accessed through a door that brings that entrance threshold down to 4-6
A leak-proof door: Based on a left or right door orientation to meet the users good hand, a door to the unit can either swing inwardly or outwardly based on the method of accessibility that they will be using. On top of that, most if not all companies brag about the limited lifetime coverage they have on the door seal, so you wont be worrying about leaks and hazards in your bathroom.
Wheelchair-accessibility: How a door opens will determine how effective the unit is in enabling wheelchair-bound users to enter. Units considerate of wheelchair users situate the built-in seat right at the foot of the door, allowing them to slide on sideways from seat to seat.
Safety bars: Of course, lateral access for wheelchair-bound seniors and veterans cant be possible without reliable and easy-to-reach safety bars. Already mounted on the units interior and sometimes on the rim, these bars are made to withstand your whole weight. Should you feel unsure about the amount of safety bars in place, you can always mount as many as you need on the walls surrounding your bathing enclosure.
A non-slip floor: Providing traction to the soles of your feet, the floor of a walk-in tub will always be treated with anti-slip solutions and textured floors to prevent bathroom accidents predominant among the senior population.
An ADA compliant seat: Averaging around 17 high, the built-in contoured seats of safety bathtubs are just as resistant to slipping as the floor.
Hygiene: Thanks to technological add-ons that come with most walk-in tubs, the unit is extremely easy and quick to clean when compared to the maintenance it takes to keep a traditional bathtub brand new.
Walk-in bathtubs achieve this by having an outer layer of bacteria-resistant gel coat that fights bacterial formation, others have purge system motors built-in with massage units to keep the lines of air injectors and water jets clear from settled water that promotes mold growth, and most units include both forms of combating bacteria and harmful microorganisms.
Emergency switch: No design is perfect, and sometimes we have to prepare for the worst before it occurs. In the event of an accidental drowning, emergency switches and release gates are put in place to save a life. Walk-in bathtubs include these extra safety measures in the form of a push-button mechanism near the drain, or a release-door handle. Just make sure you read the instructions on the manual to know where that specific models emergency switch is. Whether the button near the drain is pushed to drain the water in less than a minute, or the emergency handle is pulled to release the door, both methods empty the tub fast enough for a quick rescue.
Search and learn more from Google on why walk-in tubs are safe, and browse sources of information like SeniorTubs.com (https://seniortubs.com/safety/why-walk-in-tubs-are-safe) for wheelchair-accessible models and the like.

Category: Table. More >>
Current recommendations are to choose a table similar in shape to your room. If you have a square room, a square or round table is appropriate. For a longer room, you can choose rectangular or oval oak tables. Remember that round or oval tables seat more people in the same amount of floor space than a square table would.
Proportion: An end table should neither overwhelm the furniture it sits with, nor be swallowed by it. Is it to be grouped with a main piece of furniture (see functional table above), or is it more for show (see accent table)? Alongside a sofa, the depth of the table should be relative to the depth of the arm. Most sofas are at least 34 inch deep, with many topping 40 inch. A reasonable end table for this purpose will be around 20x27 inch rectangular, or 28 inch round. A big, beefy club chair will need a big, beefy table, and your petite antique wing chairs will need something much smaller, with more delicate lines.
A table design should be attractive to the eye. It should have nice curves and design that will match the glass and metal or wooden frame used. A powder coat on the metal will also do the trick. These can be placed in different areas of the room to bring up a different feel in the area they have been placed.

Opinion Article:
The FBI's failure to recommend criminal action against Hilary Clinton for use of a rogue email system for her (by her own admission) personal "convenience" is a "your adjective here" failure to support good information security practice.
Consider: Ms. Clinton claimed that none of the emails were classified at the time of the original exchange. She did not specify the level of classification.
- At a minimum, all State Department correspondence is classified "Internal Use Only". There is no "Public" email communication, except through approved messaging channels. Moreover, any of her emails about department affairs as the "chief executive" of the State Department would/should automatically carry a classification of State Department Confidential or higher, much as it would in a commercial enterprise.
- As Secretary of State, she held ultimate responsibility and authority to assure and enforce compliance with State Department policies. Her rogue email system is a compliance failure, and represents an ethical failure and a breach of trust. Even beyond email, her interest in her own personal "convenience" went so far as to ask for an exception to the black out requirements in the State Department SCIF.
- As Secretary of State, she was ultimately responsible for assuring the proper classification of State Department messaging. The FBI identified over 2,000 emails that contained highly sensitive information. It stretches credibility to believe that the information in her emails became so highly-sensitive subsequent to the message exchanges.
As a "weakest link" user, Ms. Clinton's actions were beyond a security risk...they were outright dangerous, and her bias toward personal convenience over good security practice set a totally improper "tone at the top" regarding information security. Would these conditions not constitute an actionable information security policy breach for anyone else in any other organization?
We will remain vulnerable to cyber-security breaches so long as our determination to protect ourselves does not equal or exceed the determination of the threat actors to compromise us. And, we need the strongest support of our leadership and our law enforcement agencies to have any chance of success.
Epic fail for Information Security.

The Congressional Hearings
The Congressional Hearings with FBI Director Comey shed some light on this. You can almost see the early discussions at the FBI to answer the questions: How do we protect Clinton and dodge the political bullet this situation represents? The Answer: Investigate for Criminal Intent (ignoring the violations of security policy).
There was never any question of criminal intent, only an intent of "personal convenience." The FBI wasted everyone's time and money, but hey! Nicely dodged, FBI. Director Comey defended the FBI's action as consistent with direction from Congress.
In follow-on, perhaps recognizing the limitations of the FBI investigation, the U.S. State Department announced today that they would be re-opening their own investigation.

President Donald Trump's frequent questioning about the integrity of his spy agencies is coming back to haunt him.
"The objective of this attack was singularly against chemical weapons use", Mattis told reporters, saying preventing the use of chemical weapons represented "a vital national interest" of the United States in order to ensure that such weapons of war do not become "commonplace". Putin quickly invited the Syrian and Iranian foreign ministers to Moscow on Friday, the day after Tillerson departs.
Of Assad, Trump added: "This is an animal".
Mattis also believes this isn't the first time Assad has violated an global law dating back to 1925 and used chemical weapons.
He said the U.S. cruise missile strike in response "demonstrates the United States will not passively stand by while Assad ignores worldwide law and employs chemical weapons he declared destroyed". Putin had even granted Tillerson with a friendship honor. "The same is happening now".
"It was very clear that the Assad regime planned it, orchestrated it, and executed it".
Without offering any evidence, Putin said Washington was planning a new missile launch, including near the capital, Damascus, after faking chemical weapons attacks there.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says Russia has information that the United States is planning to launch new missile strikes on Syria, and that there were plans for the USA to fake chemical weapons attacks there.
Lavrov said Russian Federation thinks there is no need for a U.N. Security Council resolution on the attack until the U.N. chemical weapons watchdog has completed an objective probe.
Masters victor Sergio Garcia might wear his green jacket at his wedding
From 145 yards, Garcia planted his approach to about 10 feet, needing two putts to win his first major after 74 starts. When asked about the Grand Slam, Garcia said , "You can't win them all if you don't win the first one".
World leaders, including President Trump, immediately accused Assad of using chemical weapons against his own people, again, in violation of global accords. Both Washington and Moscow, Tillerson said, want a "unified and stable" Syria, so the country does not become a "safe haven" for terrorists.
His comments came after US President Donald Trump said Mr Putin was backing an "evil person" in Assad, as talks took place in Russian Federation between the countries' chief diplomats. While the Republican president himself has stayed largely quiet about Russia's role, his aides have slammed Moscow repeatedly in the days since.
The Syrian regime and its backers, including Russian Federation, have denied Mr Assad was responsible. "Or would Russian Federation prefer to realign with the United States, with other Western countries and Middle East countries that are seeking to resolve the Syrian crisis?"
But the Trump administration has dismissed that theory.
"I trust he regrets it now considering the damage done to his air force but when I say he should think long and hard about it, I'll just let the mission speak for itself on that score", the Defence Secretary said. The U.S. also accused Russian Federation of mounting a disinformation campaign aimed at exonerating Assad.
United Nations investigators already have the mandate under previous resolutions to look into allegations of chemical weapons use but the council wants to underscore its support for a thorough investigation in the Khan Sheikhun case.
"We are certain that the opposition could not have fabricated all of the videos and other reporting of chemical attacks", the report reads. But the attack in Idlib province is believed to involve sarin, which was supposed to have been removed. After delivering those scripted remarks, the president retreated from public discussion of the attack, while his aides tried to explain how this strike fits with Trump's "America First" doctrine and campaign pledge not to get involved with conflicts in other countries. G7 ministers, in the face of conflicting signals on USA policy towards Syria and Russian Federation, appear to have chosen to postpone any big decision until after those talks.
His comments came as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was in Moscow for meetings with Russian leaders.
Meeting allies earlier Tuesday in Italy, Tillerson delivered an ultimatum to Russia: Side either with the US and its dozens of coalition partners or face the isolation of a partnership with Assad, Iran and Hezbollah.

Huntersville Family Fitness & Aquatics hosted 10 sports professionals from Serbia on Tuesday as part of the Community Connections Program, an international outreach initiative organized by the International House of Charlotte.
The mission of International House, a nonprofit organization, is to promote international understanding. It serves as a center for diversity, advocating for people of diverse national backgrounds and organizing professional and cultural programs such as Community Connections.
The program is designed to promote public diplomacy through the exchange of cultural ideas and values among international participants, U.S. families and local host organizations.
The Serbian delegation's goal on its visit to Charlotte was to experience how after-school activities, parks and recreation programs, boys and girls clubs and groups such as HFFA, the YMCA and the YWCA operate and are organized in the this country.
The delegation of sports professionals, coaches, teachers, government and nongovernment officials toured HFFA and met with Executive Director Molly Burroughs and Aaron Hintz, HFFA Carolina Diving Academy director. The group discussed youth sports, competitive training for athletes and the facility's successful integration in the Huntersville community.
"HFFA is such an impressive facility," said Rena Hawkins, project manager for International House, who coordinated the group's visit to Charlotte. "One of the main goals of the group is to learn how, in the United States, we make sports facilities available to all of our citizens and not just elite athletes.
"HFFA is the perfect place to demonstrate to the Serbian delegation how a public facility can be welcoming to kids, seniors and people who swim just for pleasure while, at the same time, offering coaching and training for Olympic-level athletes."
During the tour, the delegates got to swim in the 50-meter pool and dive from the 1- and 3-meter springboards. The delegation also tried out a fluid rower and fluid upper body ergometer.
The Serbian visitors were interested in learning how HFFA has had a positive effect on the community, including economic development. The group discussed how to develop similar facilities and opportunities in Serbia.
"We were excited to be part of this special visit to the U.S. and Huntersville Family Fitness & Aquatics," Burroughts said. "The exchange of ideas was highly worthwhile, and it was an interesting learning experience for all of us.
"From our standpoint, we hope we were able to share information that will be useful to the delegates in their youth and community sports programs back home."

The Adventures of Pinocchio, children's story by C. Collodi. The story, Le avventure di Pinocchio: Storia di un burattino ("The Adventures of Pinocchio: The Story of a Puppet"), first appeared in serial form in 1881 in the Giornale dei bambini ("Children's Magazine") and was published in book form in 1883. It was published in English in 1892 and appeared under a variety of titles.
Although it is probably most famous now from the 1940 Disney film, the original story of the little marionette who wanted to be a real boy is well worth reading by grownups and children alike. Geppetto, the poor woodcarver, is lonely and wants a little boy, so he carves himself a puppet out of a block of wood. A turquoise-haired fairy takes pity on the old man and brings the puppet to life. Almost at once he is cheeky and disobedient, telling lies and being naughty. He desperately wants to be a real boy, but the fairy tells him that he is too naughty.
The book is darker than the film, and Pinocchio is a lot more selfish and aggressive, but there is also some humorous slapstick that is absent from the Disney version. Going his own way, ignoring the advice of his father, the fairy, and his conscience (the cricket, whom he kills), Pinocchio soon falls in with a variety of bad company, including a fox, a cat, and assassins. But after he learns to care for his "father" Geppetto, Pinocchio gets his wish and is transformed into a real boy.
Like many Tuscan folk tales, this is a story with important moral lessons for children: e.g., disobedience does not pay, telling lies is seldom prudent (causing Pinocchio's nose, most famously, to grow with each mistruth), and boys who love and take care of their parents will get the reward that they deserve. Its pedagogical mission notwithstanding, the story remains a thoroughly enjoyable, timeless classic.

About Liz Ewings
I am a Seattle native. I love to visit new places, and even live in them, but I keep returning to the West Coast. Kind of like a salmon, but without the spawning. I spent many years in the fashion industry, then visited Australia and saw whales for the first time. Whales catalyzed my return to the Northwest to study natural science illustration, and oceanography at the University of Washington. In my work as a naturalist in the San Juan Islands and Southeast Alaska, and became fascinated with our relationship to nature.
I am inspired by oceanic flora and fauna, and use their morphology to examine our relationship with the ocean in my work.

Jazz at the Blue Lamp- David Newton Big Screen Trio
David Newton has been the winner of 'Jazz Pianist of the Year' in the British Jazz Awards on no less than 10 occasions simply confirms most fans' opinions that he really is one of the heavyweights of UK jazz.
This ferociously swinging unit brings together three award winning jazz musicians from different corners of the contemporary jazz scene & beyond.
Dave Newton's multi award-winning jazz piano mastery is very much to the fore of this dynamic new trio, underpinned by the propulsive swing and lightening empathy of Skelton & Farmer.
Their debut Linn release ' Big Screen, take 1 ' celebrates the rich legacy of music composed for film and film musicals. The repertoire spans decades of richly crafted composition from the dawn of talking pictures to the contemporary poignant songs of Randy Newman.
The trio delight in creating their own original arrangements of film scores revealing a shared admiration for the piano trios of yore such as Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown with contrasting lush ballad soundscapes.
