Malaysian Tatler – Malaysia Best Restaurants 2015 Award
Sirocco Restaurant, Holiday Inn Melaka won the Best Restaurants 2015 awarded by Malaysia Tatler for its exceptional service and cuisine.
Malaysian Tatler rated us a 4/5 for Setting and Food and 4.5/5 for Service. Here are a few comments and recommendations stated by Malaysian Tatler
'The setting is romantic and elegant in this Italian restaurant and would make a good choice for intimate dinners.'
'Sirocco new menu is impressive and tempting. Although relatively succinct, it features plenty of variety including pizzas, pastas and substantial mains such as oven-baked salt-crusted seabass and braised oxtail with saffron risotto.',
'The signature duck pizza is quite the gem with thin slices of duck paired with a fresh sweetish tangy mango dressing on a crispy thin crust.'
'We recommend the grilled beef fillet with parmesan potato, best enjoyed with a spot of balsamic in brandy flambé.'
'For a creamy crowd-pleaser, check out the cassata, a classic Italian layered ice cream with a thin base of sponge cake.'
'Staff are prompt and courteous, and are quick to recommend dishes if you're undecided on what to order. '

Exercise 1
Before reading the passage, look at these questions. Then try to find the answers as you read it.
1. Where is the Bermuda Triangle located?
2. What happened there in 1945?
The Bermuda Triangle
1. On 5th December, 1945, five bombers2 from a United States Naval3 Air Station left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on a routine training flight over the Atlantic Ocean, east of Florida. A short time later the base received radio messages from the bombers (Flight 19) saying that they were lost. Then radio contact was broken. The flight did not return, and the planes that were sent to look for the bombers also failed to return. A massive search operation was mounted, but no trace of the missing planes or their pilots was found. They had simply and inexplicably4 disappeared.
2. This event was sufficient to confirm in many people's minds that the so-called "Devil's Triangle", or "Bermuda Triangle" -- a section of the North Atlantic bounded roughly by Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico -- really was haunted, and in some mysterious way was responsible for the loss of ships and planes. In all, in this area (3900000 square kilometres) of open sea, more than 50 ships and 20 planes have mysteriously disappeared. These include the U.S. Navy ship Cyclops in 1918 and the merchant vessel5 Marine6 Sulphur Queen in 1963. In the same year two U.S. Air Force KC 135 planes also disappeared without trace. In other words, it is not only small boats and planes that have vanished in the area, but the most modern and best equipped too.
3. Perhaps the most dramatic shipping7 loss in the area was the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine Scorpion8. This vessel, like others before

Pork Is Considered Safely Cooked at 145 Degrees F. by USDA
Due to newer standards in the farming industry the USDA declares that Pork can be safely cooked to a 145 degree temp. This temperature is high enough to kill any pathogens that may be harmful to humans. Professional chefs have prepared pork this way for many years but now the everyday backyard griller can leave it a little on the pink side without worry. The previous recommended cooking temp. was 160 degrees. Put simply now beef, lamb, veal, and pork are all considered safely cooked at a internal temperature of 145 degrees F. It is recommended that the meat be allowed to rest for at least three minutes after it is removed from the heat source. Ground meats, however, including ground pork should always be cooked to 160 degrees F. for food safety.

Beef & Pie came back to Knoxville this October. This was the second Food City commercial I have worked on with them. This time I helped out around the office the day before the shoot.

The Chief End of Man is the Beginning of Biblical Counseling
This post, authored by Joshua Waulk, originally appeared at the Biblical Counseling Coalition.
A man and his wife, seeking help for their troubled marriage, sat down with me in my office recently. Both of them were intent on sharing with me a litany of complaints about the other.
"Why Are You Here?"
I was glad they came, but my opening question to the man caught him off-guard. "Why are you here?" I asked.
Having already delivered to me his Intake Form, and in light of the obvious, he wasn't sure what I was asking him; so he began to tell me about his problems, the majority of which were focused on his wife's alleged failures.
I stopped the man mid-sentence, and asked him to think about the question again, keeping his profession of faith in Christ in full view. Seeing that the man wasn't prepared for my ambush, I began to explain what I meant.
Together, we agreed that he was all of the following:
1) A man created in the image of God
2) A professing Christian
3) A husband, and
4) A father
Each of these realities, I explained, were created, given, and sustained for him by God.
These truths carried with them unique responsibilities that were supernaturally bound together for one overarching purpose. But, before I led him in that discussion, I wanted him to know that this purpose would be the plumb line by which we would judge any, and all potential solutions to the marital struggles they'd been experiencing.
When people arrive at that place where they're emotionally ready for counseling, they're often at "situation critical," and simply want the hurt to stop. And, that's understandable.
The trouble is, in that place, utilitarian ethics can rule the day, which is to say that when our pain is at its worst, the ends often justify the means, or so we feel.
Our Plumb Line
In biblical counseling, we're guided by something that transcends the mere alleviation of symptoms or the modification of behavioral problems, even as important as those goals may be. The plumb line in biblical counseling and all forms of discipleship is found in God's purposes for creating humanity, which is according to Scripture, His eternal glory (Psalm 19:1; Isaiah 42:8; 48:9-11; Romans 1:20-21).
A popular, evangelical pastor recently tweeted, "God didn't put you on earth to judge you, but to enjoy you." On the surface of it, and in a culture that exalts happiness above holiness, this sentiment feels good. To the untrained ear, it seems to ring true.
Unfortunately, this thought is painfully short of a biblical understanding of God's purposes for us (and the rest of creation), and therefore is of little use in biblical counseling and discipleship. It asks the right question (i.e. Why did God create us?), but arrives at the wrong conclusion (i.e. God created us for His enjoyment). It elevates God's pleasure in extending us grace (i.e. enjoyment), at the expense of His justice (i.e. judgment). There's no biblical warrant for this.
This is no trite matter. It's not akin to engaging in "ignorant controversies" (2 Timothy 2:23).
Pastor John Piper, in a sermon preached on September 12, 2012, said this:
"This world—this history as it is unfolding—was created and is guided and sustained by God so that the grace of God, supremely displayed in the death and resurrection of Jesus for sinners would be glorified throughout all eternity in the Christ-exalting joys of the redeemed."
Unlike the former quote, Piper's statement clearly calls us to consider the creative power, sustaining work, and magnificent grace of God for His glory, and the joy of Christ followers.
In fairness, Piper's thought is greater than the 140 characters allowed by Twitter, but if it can't be said with some manner of theological precision, then perhaps it shouldn't be said at all.
Why God created humanity and what we say about our attending responsibilities carry the weight of eternity. We must handle our words with care.
If I understand that God merely intends to "enjoy" me, the choices I make in response to the difficulties of life might look entirely different than if I understand that the glory of the living God is somehow at stake in my life.
In short, the idea that God intends not to "judge" me, but "enjoy" me, may make me feel good, but not in any way call me toward repentance and faith. These are irreplaceable components of biblical counseling and discipleship (Mark 1:15).
Implications for Counseling
By the conclusion of my session with the couple mentioned above, the husband knew that his role in the counseling process was deeply connected to God's purposes for his life. The difficult circumstances he was facing could in no way be divorced from this truth.
He understood that the decisions he would make in the sessions to come would speak to the truth of his profession of faith, his love for Jesus, and commitment to his marriage. His entire view of marriage counseling changed as God's purposes for his life came into view.
Reflecting on this counseling case and the associated Scriptures, I'm persuaded that when the purposes and glory of God are the non-negotiables of discipleship, we avail ourselves of His power, hope, and promises.
In very meaningful ways, "What must I do to make the pain go away?" becomes, "What must I do to please God?"
Join the Conversation
How do these two questions alter the focus of counseling?
- "What must I do to make the pain go away?"
- "What must I do to please God?"

Fifty-six percent of workers plan to work past age 65 and 54 percent said they plan to continue working after they retire, according to a recent survey.
The survey, by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, polled more than 3,600 American workers and found that only 39 percent of them believe they are building a sufficient nest egg for retirement.
For the past few years, the annual Transamerica Retirement Survey has seen an emerging trend of workers who plan to work past age 65, including some workers who do not plan to retire. This year's survey found that these expectations are prevalent to varying degrees among workers of all age ranges, not just older workers.
"American workers are adjusting their expectations of retirement, including working past age 65 and planning to work part-time in retirement," said Transamerica Center president Catherine Collinson in a statement. "American workers have reshaped their vision of retirement, now it's time to provide an updated roadmap to help them achieve retirement income to last throughout their lifetime."
The survey found that 57 percent of the workers polled have a retirement strategy, including 12 percent who have a written plan and 45 percent who have a plan that is not written down. Of those with any form of strategy, only 15 percent have factored in contingency plans for retiring sooner than expected and/or savings shortfalls. Among all workers, many still leave their future retirements up to guesswork; when asked how they estimated their savings needs for retirement, 47 percent admitted to guessing.
A significant majority of 84 percent of the workers polled prefers a do-it-yourself decision-making style regarding saving and investing for retirement, including 49 percent of workers who seek advice but make their own final decisions and 35 percent who do their own research and make their own decisions. Despite these decision making styles, 70 percent of the workers surveyed agree that they do not know as much as they should about retirement investing.
Thirty-four percent of the workers surveyed cited "friends and family" as a source of information about retirement. Nearly one in three workers (29 percent) expects to financially support their family members, other than spouses or partners, after they retire, while 13 percent expect to receive financial support from family in retirement. In contrast, only 10 percent discuss retirement planning frequently with family and friends and 27 percent never discuss retirement at all.

Research and statistics on divorce have shown us there can be seasonality
when it comes to spouses deciding to end their marriage. Most notably,
studies have shown that upticks in divorce filings are common after the
holidays and around the New Year. In fact, the first working Monday of
the New Year is often referred to as "Divorce Day" due to
the increase in divorce inquiries.
Other studies have found seasonal patterns behind divorce aside from the
common "New Year, New Me" mentality. This includes one
14-year study of divorce filings in the state of Washington in which researchers from the University of Washington found that
filings peak in March in August.
Could this mean that even a bad vacation can lead to divorce? According
to researchers, it's quite possible.
Researchers believe March and August tend to be common times for divorce
because couples may attempt to mend relationships and start fresh following
winter holidays, the New Year, or during summer. Summertime and the holidays
are generally happy times and people raise their expectations, despite
the problems inherent to a relationship or what may have happened in the
past, according to the study from the University of Washington. They are
also times closely associated with vacations.
When the holidays don't live up to expectations, or disillusionment
with relationships continue after the holidays end, spouses are more likely
to consider and take steps toward divorce, researchers say. If spouses
plan to stay together because they have a getaway planned or believe that
a vacation could help mend whatever is broken in their relationship, these
vacations carry a lot of weight.
When things don't go as planned during a vacation, spouses may be
quicker to take action when it comes to divorce. The spike in filings
in August may indicate failed family vacations or vacations that didn't
resolve underlying issues in a relationship, as well as a rush to begin
the divorce process before children go back to school.
Relationships are unique and personal matters, and research may fall short
in showing us why couples decide to call it quits – either emotionally
or by no longer living together – and when they actually file. Still,
the research makes credible points about human nature, how we view the
holidays, and the significance we can place on certain times of the year
to solve certain problems. Unfortunately, not all problems can be solved,
not even during a vacation.

Hey ya'll!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Carolina Music Awards as press, and honestly, it was more fun then I expected!
The Carolina Music Awards were started 10 years ago by a gentleman named Omar McCallop and it's amazing how strong this awards event is going 10 years later. This event has categories for Hip Hop/ R&B, DJ's, Bluegrass/ Folk, Rock, Country, and they even have a Youth Category (no joke, those young adults rock!)
The event starts with a red carpet event which starts 2.5 hours before the awards actually begin. I got there around 5 pm (because to me, being 'on-time' is being early). I also had no idea what to expect. This was my first time attending an event like this, I usually just photograph shows that my husband's band plays at. I quickly noticed the there were two red-carpets set up. I was approached by a lovely woman named Sabrina and asked if I wanted to help her out on the fashion red carpet, which started before the Awards red carpet (they were kind of interchangeable because Artists would walk up to this red carpet first and then move on to the second red carpet). I figured why not, at least I could get some good photos that I could share here and with her. This part of the event wasn't what I expected.
I teamed up with another photographer named Rada from Burt and Brewington Creative Agency and we covered the entire red carpet event as well as the interviews put on by the radio station covering the awards. It was awesome because we got to meet artists from all the genres. I finally got to meet Tiffany's friend Maria from Break the Skyline (p.s. go check out their music video for Unspoken… it rocks!) as well as getting to see a familiar face in LaureNicole (I've had the chance to talk with her a few times at different shows).
This part of the event was a great start to the whole event and I really enjoyed it. This sounds silly, but I have never been called a "real photographer" before (usually I am just photographing local bands) so when Miss. Sabrina called us that, it made me happy. It sounds silly…. but that meant a lot for someone to recognize that this is what I want to do, it's not just a hobby for me.
The actual awards portion started around 8pm (after some technical difficulties which are bound to happen with any event). The press was regulated to the wings of the second floor for covering the event. If you weren't sitting on the right side of the auditorium, it was incredibly difficult to get decent photos of the presenters as well as the musicians accepting awards. Guess who made that mistake? Me. By the time I realized it, the other side was already full and there wasn't room for me to move. Oh well, I made it work anyways.
I must say that Mr. Omar really impressed me when he came out on the stage the second time, right after the technical difficulties happened. He told us that if there was anything that went right and that we were pleased with, to thank his staff, but if there was anything that was wrong, that responsibility totally rested on his shoulders. I can really appreciate that from a team member stand point. He wants his staff to get the praise for their hard work, but he feels that if anything was wrong, the responsibility rested on his shoulders as the head of the event. Kudo's to you sir!
The event was started off by my girl LaureNicole and she did an impressive job as usual! The first set of awards were the Youth Awards, and they definitely did not disappoint! These young adults are incredibly talented and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for them!
I will be honest with you all and tell you that I don't know anything aboutRap, Hip Hop, R&B, being a DJ, or even Bluegrass. What I know is Country and Rock. That being said, I know that it takes a lot of time, effort, and talent to produce any genre of music, so my hat is off to everyone that was nominated and won awards last night! It was said several times that there were no losers, because everyone wins by bringing their music to the world! I feel this is a very true statement because different types of people like different types of music, and people can really connect with music. Just because I don't like something doesn't make it less important to the music industry because someone else will like it and it might help them through difficult times! It may be just what they need to make it through another rough day. I can appreciate that! This event wasn't about the specific genre's per say, it was more about celebrating our music scene as a whole and all of the accomplishments we've made so far!
If you want to see all the pictures of the event, check out the Angel-Phoenix Facebook Page, where I posted a gallery of all my images. I tried to get photos as people accepted their awards, but it was difficult from where I was standing. For this article though, I will be focusing on the rock genre, since that's what we cover here at Angel-Phoenix!
The Nominees for Best Rock Male were A Strike Within, Jason Damico, CJ Bauckham (of I Am Maddox), Matt Thies (of Open Wire), Chris Hathcock (of The Reticent), Adam Nelson (of Something Clever), Brad Pruette (of The Lilly Brothers'), and Mark Cloos. The winner of the Best Rock Male of the Year was CJ Bauckham!
The Nominees for Best Rock Female were Logan Christopher (of Paper Dolls), LaureNicole, Fredi Sholtz, Rei Haycraft (of Raimee), Courtney Sapp (of We Were Once), Nikol, Denise Masters (of Desired Redemption), and Lauren Light. The winner of the Best Rock Female of the Year was LaureNicole!
The nominees for Best Rock Band of the Year were Open Wire, Mightier Than Me, I Am Maddox, What Happened Yesterday, Break The Skyline, The Gray, Reason|Define, and Matt Parker and the Deacons. The winner of the Best Rock Band of the Year was Mightier Than Me.
Overall, the event was a fantastic experience and I was incredibly excited to be able to cover the whole event. I met a lot of great new people and there was a LOT of networking going on from all sides. Everybody looked fantastic and were super nice!
Make sure you check out all the bands tagged above I this post, you might find people that you've never heard of! Give everyone some love because we're here to celebrate all the artists and their accomplishments! I can't wait to see what happens next year!

Environment-friendly substances are exceptional at creating the assistance that is required for corrective methods to the problems that might be connected with the costs of rest, widened security or the healing from or decrease of physical problems. It is a therapy where environment-friendly chemicals are utilized in the building and construction of the foam cells, along with the approach in which the therapy is executed is a lot more eco-friendly. Eco-friendly building is safe, is anti-allergenic, as well as is unsusceptible to irritant infection, unlike standard innerspring building.
Bamboo building and construction techniques have actually relocated from typical floor covering as well as furnishings building to the manufacturing of materiel. Bamboo items are generally anti-microbial; remain exceptional in warm, absolutely really feels much softer compared to cotton and also takes on the growth of mold or mold and mildew and also mold due to the fact that it dries out rather quickly.
It takes a lot less land to widen bamboo compared to it does cotton as well as requires the little water to generate a durable plant. It the oxygen manufacturing throughout its advancement cycle is considerably above cotton or timber. Bamboo is simple to widen, requiring no advancement or growth improving items, and also it commonly expands in nations that require the cash money from lasting plant earnings to widen their economic situation and also their.
Treatment an environment-friendly cushion and also paddings in bamboo item and also afterwards placing it in a bamboo framework; supplies eco-friendly as well as economic feeling, it in a similar way makes, a lot more, really feeling from a physical perspective to rest on a memory foam bed mattress compared to a common innerspring design, since it is established to maintain as required and also degenerate absolutely, absolutely considerably.
The decrease of unrelenting wellness problem and also troubles that are either established by or multiplied by negative bed building (or beds that are damaged) is vital to wellness. Rest is crucial to any person of clinical facets as well as just helps in the lifestyle, yet to be able to fix this stress over environment-friendly advancement amazing as well as is exactly what this writer would absolutely insist company must be doing on a much larger variety.

Preserving UAE heritage on film becomes the bigger picture.

Video: Preserving the Middle East's photographic history.
فيديو: الحفاظ على تاريخ التصوير في الشرق الأوسط.
MEPPI Abu Dhabi 2012 – Follow-up meeting Istanbul 2013
The Middle East Photograph Preservation Initiative's (MEPPI) second course opened on the 11th of November 2012, gathering 16 participants from Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Turkey, Bahrain, Kuwait, Libya, Iran and the UAE. The course began with an 8-day workshop, generously hosted by New York University, Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). The combination of lectures and hands-on sessions focused on the history of photography in the Arab World, image formation and degradation, storage practices, emergency preparedness, and digitization.
The workshop provided an overview of the technical history of photographic processes with a particular emphasis on the characterization and identification of albumen, silver gelatin, and chromogenic color print materials, glass- and film-based negatives. Other more rare photographic processes such as the daguerreotype, were introduced. Lectures interwoven with hands-on practica were conducted by conservators Debra Hess Norris, Nora Kennedy and Tram Vo as well as scientist Bertrand Lavédrine. The importance of balancing preservation and access was highlighted in discussions on establishing handling guidelines, improving storage and exhibition practices—including cold storage, environmental assessment and practical control measures, as well as mitigation from airborne contaminants and pollutants. Sessions were also held on best practices for digitization and access.
The importance of emergency preparedness, response and recovery was emphasized. Methods for collections' surveys and prioritizing for preservation were touched upon in the interest of creating practical strategies for long-term preservation of collections. Lectures and discussions on fund-raising, contemporary art, and the history of photography and contemporary art were provided by Zeina Arida, former Director of the Arab Image Foundation, and other invited speakers.
Participants had the opportunity to present to the group an overview of the institutions they represent. The workshop also featured site visits to the national collections of the Tourism and Culture Authority of Abu Dhabi, the National Center for Documentation and Research in Abu Dhabi and the archive of leading local newspaper Etihad. Contrasts in methods of conservation and preservation were observed and discussions were engaged in. The group also spent an afternoon in Dubai, where they visited the impressive archive of late royal photographer Noor Ali Rashid and learnt of its establishment and preservation from the photographer's daughter, Shamsa Rashid.
A public talk was also held on the first night of the workshop, at an auditorium in the Intercontinental Hotel in Abu Dhabi. Given by Debra Hess Norris and Nora Kennedy, and moderated by Shamoon Zamir (Associate Professor of Literary and Visual Studies of NYUAD), the speakers addressed an interested audience on topics related to the preservation of family photographs and museum practices. The lecture was followed by a series of questions, focusing, among other topics, on digital files and their preservation.

"The U.S. oil rig count continued to rise, up by 6 last week".
According to the IEA, non-OPEC supply will increase by nearly 1.5 million barrels a day in 2018, with about half of the expansion coming from USA crude production. USA shale-oil drillers, who aren't a part of the output agreement, have been cited as the main culprit, disrupting OPEC's efforts to stabilize oil prices.
West Texas Intermediate crude futures for August delivery, which will take over as the new "front month" contract at the end of the trading day, were marked at $43.19 per barrel at 10:15 eastern time, the lowest since November 14.
Increases in USA production of crude oil and hydrocarbon gas liquids has been the largest contributor to the 820,000 b/d of non-OPEC liquids supply growth from January through May 2017.
Trading on Monday assumed a depressingly familiar pattern, with losses amounting to a seven month closing low and accompanied by reports that the us rig count has increased yet again, thus fueling the bearish sentiment pervading the market.
OPEC tried to lower production and creates oil shortage globally, helping oil prices go up. Despite OPEC's recent decision to further extend the production cuts until the end of the first quarter of next year, it had a negative impact on the oil prices which were at a high range of 53-55 per barrel.
Mickelson withdraws from US Open
Open usually generates half the betting handle of the Masters, but the action has been down this year because of the new course. The 28-year-old has claimed one win this year at The Honda Classic and has been placed in the top 10 five times.
Falih said there was a relatively big draw of around 50 million barrels from floating storage and a drop in industrialised nations' onshore storage of 65 million barrels compared to July past year.
It is hard to tell a group of the world's biggest oil producers, which run state-owned companies with hundreds of analysts, that they are wrong.
Libya is exempt from the current OEPC and top non-OPEC producer deal to remove 1.8 million barrels of crude per day from the market to help boost oil prices.
Futures tumbled as much as 3.3 percent in NY, heading toward the first bear market since August, as investors focus on rising production from countries that are not part of OPEC's deal.
Japan's customs-cleared crude imports fell 13.5 percent in May from a year earlier. OPEC's efforts are being undermined by its own members, some of whom have exemptions, and rising production in other countries, notably from shale-drillers in the U.S. The increased drilling activity led Rystad Energy to recently predict that monthly US oil production could hit a new record before the end of the year. With regards exempt Libya and Nigeria, the Saudi minister said that the two countries' output levels are within the range that OPEC had set when it forged the deal past year. She said Saudi Arabia's energy minister has made clear that reducing USA shipments was an option. In the last month alone, explorers drilled 125 more wells in the Permian Basin than they would open.

A set of Guilds that operated in addition to the original 18 Major Guilds. Their purpose was to expand knowledge and make it more accessible.
The Middle Class seemed to make up most of the Minor Guilds enrollmen.[1]
- Guild of Architecture (a branch of the Guild of Stone Masons).[2]
- Guild of Miners (until 2488)[2][3]
- Guild of Educators[2]
- Guild of Bankers[2]
- Guild of Sculptors[3]
- Guild of Artists[3]
- Guild of Actors[3]
- Guild of Musicians[3]
- Guild of Illusionists (est. 3961)[4]
In 1124 the Legislator Ti'lanar wrote a paper titled "Minor Guilds" in which he criticized the contemporary syte in which only a small elite of D'ni people are able to learn and keep the traditions through the existing Major Guilds, while more people remain ignorant and uneducated. He proposed the formation of Minor Guilds, that would further the knowledge beyond that already provided.
King Mararon agreed with the paper and followed its suggestions to reform the D'ni education system, in which D'ni boys could enter any of the new Minor Guilds after finishing education in the Common Schools.[2]
Only men were eligible for Minor Guild education. Women, such as actresses, participated in the Minor Guilds although they had never been officially recognized as members.[5]
Around 2488 King Naygen (whose major causes were to boost mining as well as the arts) elevated the Guild of Miners to the status of a Major Guild replacing the Major Guild of Fine Artists, which was split into several artistic Minor Guilds.[3]
In 3500 women became accepted to Minor Guild education.[5]
King Lemashal argued that the Guilds of Actors, Painters and Musicians had no been really necessary to exist, in order to pass his initiative to form the Guild of illusionists.[4]
In 5202 King Emen gave an island of the D'ni lake to the Artists, Musicians and Actors for use as a Cultural Center.[6]

Managing Hot Flashes During the Summer
Jul 25 2017, 10:00 AM
In the heat of summer, a hot flash can feel unbearable. Hot flashes affect the quality of life of many cancer patients.
Hot flashes may be a side effect of cancer or its treatment, especially for patients treated for breast cancer or prostate cancer. Learn about causes of hot flashes and night sweats from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Stay Cool
Since body temperature goes up before a hot flash, staying cool in the summer may help control symptoms:
- Wear loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen, or athletic wear.
- Use fans and open windows to keep air moving.
- Practice relaxation training and slow, deep breathing.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods.
- Keep cool water nearby to sip or rub on skin.
- Plan exercise and errands during the cooler morning hours.
Keep Your Stress Levels Low
Another way to manage hot flashes is to manage stress and anxiety. According to the NCI, "staying calm and managing stress may lower levels of a hormone called serotonin that can trigger hot flashes."
The Linda B. and Robert B. Wiggins Wellness and Integrative Health Center has many programs that may help lower stress and anxiety, including mind-body skills classes, tai chi, qigong, yoga, massage, acupuncture, and more. To learn about the Wellness Center's programs and services or to make an appointment, call 801-587-4585.
The G. Mitchell Morris Cancer Learning Center also has resources on managing stress and anxiety, including books, guided mediation audio, tai chi videos, and more. Contact the Cancer Learning Center to find the right resources for you.
- Call toll free 1-888-424-2100
- Visit the 6th floor of the cancer hospital
- E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
- Text "askhci" to 66746
- Chat with us
Ask the Experts about Drug and Herbal Remedies
You can also talk to your health care providers about drug options for treating this side effect. Hot flashes may be managed with estrogen replacement therapy. However, many patients are not able to take estrogen replacement, including people who have or had breast cancer. Make sure your health care providers know about all medicines, dietary supplements, and herbs you are taking.
If you are considering an herbal remedy for hot flashes, you can learn more from the NCI's Thinking about Complementary and Alternative Medicine booklet. The Cancer Learning Center can also provide you the latest information about natural remedies for hot flashes.
For more information on any cancer topic, contact the Cancer Learning Center at 1-888-424-2100 or email@example.com.

I had a go last year when I was reading Pride and Prejudice and now this machine is back in business I've been having a look around other bloggers blog lists and found it popping up all over the place.
It seems to have found its way on to Facebook and theres one version you must see, click over to Stonehead's blog and see his different take on it.
Actually his blog is one of my must reads when he posts - life on a croft (small farm) in rural Scotland rearing specialised breeds of pigs can be tough.
Have a look and see the fun time he had recently with the winter weather and how he coped in his own special way.
But back to the business in hand - the page 56, 5th sentence meme - this is how the usual method goes:
- Pick up the nearest book to you - beside the bed or computer - wherever
- Turn to page 56
- Post the text of the 5th sentence
- Then pass this on to who ever you like.
- But if you like you could blog and leave a comment so others can come over and see
For some reason I haven't done a lot of reading this summer, haven't been able to settle so found it easier to knit 'cose I could pick it up and put it down at will without 'losing my place'
However there is a book beside the bed at the moment that I've just started reading ...
Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child
I like a mystery/thriller now and again and this was on Dd's shelf (well not this version but a Readers Digest condensed version - but I'm sure most of the storyline will be there) when I slept over the other night so gave up my knitting for a look see.
What with one thing and another I haven't made much progress, I've read some of the Jack Reacher books before so its not a hard read, I just don't seem to be able to concentrate.
In the RD version page 56 is part of Chapter 4 and the plot is becoming even more interesting.
5th sentence is very short so I'm bending the rules and giving you 4th, 5th and 6th lol
'Duration isn't significant. He doesn't live at home. And who is to say he's missing?'
So there you make what you will of that - I won't know till I read a bit further on
Hope to hear from you, it would be good if you played along

BOOK 3 -"Fate"
Summary (continued)
Bigger desperately does not want to see his family, especially when all the others are in the room. He is so tense he jumps up and stands in the middle of the room. His mother runs to him and calls him her baby. Behind her he sees Vera, Buddy, and his friends, Gus, G.H., and Jack. Bigger feels that all the European Americans in the room are measuring his weakness. In the midst of his shame, he has a strange feeling that they ought to be glad. "Had he not taken fully upon himself the crime of being black?" He thinks they should be contented and feel that "their shame was washed away." Mrs. Thomas tells Bigger the police have been at their apartment every day, standing outside their door. Buddy tells him that if he did not do it, he will fix them by getting a gun and killing four or five of them. Bigger sees the shock of the European Americans in the room.
Bigger wants to comfort them but does not know how. He tries to think of words to defy the officials in the room, but cannot. Bigger tells his mother not to worry, that he will be out in no time. He sees everyone's shock. His mother asks him if they can do anything for him. He realizes how foolish he had been to try to appear strong and innocent before them. He would not lie. He says "there ain't nothing. But I'm all right." Buddy lowers his eyes and Vera sobs. Bigger realizes it has always been to keep from feeling so much hate and shame and despair that he had always been so mean and hard toward Vera. Bigger's friends speak to him. They tell him the police had picked them up, but Jan and Max had gotten them out of jail. Bigger asks Vera about her sewing classes. His mother tells him Vera had to leave the sewing classes because the other girls had shamed her so much. Bigger realizes he had lived and acted on the assumption that he had been alone and now he realizes he was not.
His mother tells Bigger that one day there is a place where we can live together without fear. After repeatedly telling her to forget him, he relents and tells her he will pray. They embrace him. Bigger hates them and himself as he feels that the European Americans in the room are watching. His mother prays and the preacher joins in. Buckley tells his mother she has to leave. He apologizes to the Daltons for making them wait. Mrs. Thomas kneels to Mrs. Dalton begging her not to let them kill Bigger. Bigger calls out to her. He feels violated. Max and Jan try to pick Mrs. Thomas up. Mrs. Dalton tells her she has done all she could when she tried to help Bigger and that things are probably happening for the best. Mrs. Thomas crawls to Mr. Dalton and begs him. Max gets her to her feet. Bigger feels so much shame for her he hates her. Mr. Dalton tells her people must protect themselves. He tells her that he will speak to the people who want her to move and will make them let her stay. She thanks him. Jan tells Bigger's friends he will take them home. Everyone leaves except Buckley.
Buckley tells Bigger to come clean. He tells him Max and Jan are only out for publicity. He shows him the mob outside. He tells him those people want to lynch him. He opens the window and Bigger hears a roar of voices. He fears that they will break into the jail. Buckley questions Bigger. Bigger refuses to answer any questions.
Buckley asks him where is Bessie. Bigger has not thought of Bessie but one time since his capture. "Her death was unimportant beside that of Mary's." Bigger knows that when he is executed it will be for Mary's death, not Bessie's. Buckley tells him that the police have found her and that she did not die right away. She tried to get out of the air shaft and froze to death. She had a letter in her purse that she had written to Bigger telling him she did not want to go through with collecting the money. Buckley asks Bigger if he raped Bessie. He accuses Bigger of other rapes. The authorities had brought women into his jail cell when he was unconscious and several women had identified him. Buckley wants Bigger to implicate Jan. Bigger admits to writing the ransom demand. He admits to killing Bessie and denies raping Mary before he killed her. Buckley asks Bigger if Jan "layed" Mary and then let Bigger. He knows he cannot tell why he killed. Telling would have involved an explanation of his entire life. The actual murders are less important to him than the feeling that he cannot ever make any one understand what had driven him to do so. He feels as strong an "impulsion to try to tell" as he had felt an impulsion to kill the two women.
Buckley tells Bigger he understand how hard it is to be an African American. He says he gets votes from the South Side. A man comes in and waits for Bigger to begin to make his confession. He makes his confession listlessly. He cannot imagine how he can "link up his bare actions with what he felt." He signs the confession. Buckley tells the other man it was not as hard as he had expected. He looks at Bigger and says, "Just a scared colored boy from Mississippi." They leave him alone and he falls on the floor and sobs.
He sobs for a long time because he had again trusted his feelings and they had betrayed him. "Living as a Negro, he could not answer or accept without losing face with the world which had first evoked in him the song of manhood."
Four policemen come to his cell and escort him out to go to the inquest. He sees the mob that curses him and demands his death and ridicules his skin color. He is hit hard on the head and he falls to the floor.
In the courtroom he sees a "solid sheet of white faces." He sees the pile of white bones, the kidnap note, and his signed confession laying on the table. The Daltons are there. He sees Mary's trunk and the blackened hatchet blade. Max tells him he can relax, that he does not have to say anything here. Mrs. Dalton is called upon to give the family history. The attorney asks Mrs. Dalton to identify the fragment of Mary's earrings retrieved from the furnace. It is one of a pair of earrings that has passed through Mrs. Dalton's family for years. Mrs. Dalton says she had felt strange when she went to Mary's room that night. The man asks Mrs. Dalton if she would have known if "someone had possessed her daughter sexually while she lay on the bed." He asks her about the Daltons' charity to African American causes. When Mrs. Dalton is led back to her chair, Bigger sees all the eyes in the courtroom are on him and are aiming great hatred at him.
The six men of the jury are asked to rise and view the remains of Mary Dalton. When they are seated again, Jan Erlone is called to the stand. Jan is asked several times if he is a foreigner. He is not. He is asked if he believes in social equality for "Negroes," if he is a member of the Communist Party, and in what condition he left Mary on Sunday night. He is asked if Mary was too inebriated to protect herself when he put her in the front seat of the car and sent her home. He is asked if he used Mary as bait, as a recruiting device. Max tries to object to the leading questions, but he is over-ruled. Jan is repeatedly asked if he encouraged Bigger to have sex with Mary Dalton or if he encouraged her to have sex with Bigger. As Jan is dismissed from the witness stand, Bigger watches him and feels he knows how he feels. He wonders what the "Reds" wanted that made the coroner hate him so.
Mr. Dalton is called to the stand. He tells about how the Dalton family has always hired African American chauffeurs. He tells about his shock in learning that Bigger had left his house indicating his guilt. Max questions Mr. Dalton next. He asks him about his real estate company's rent policies. Mr. Dalton agrees that he formulates the policies of the rent companies under his control. He is asked why he charges African --Americans more rent for the same kinds of houses that he charges European Americans. Mr. Dalton says only the law of supply and demand regulates the price of rent. When objections are raised to Max's line of questioning, he asks the Coroner for the same latitude given to the prosecution and tells him that he is trying to get at who influenced Bigger long before Jan came into his life.
To Max's questions, Mr. Dalton says a housing shortage causes him to demand higher rents. The housing shortage is not general in Chicago, only in the South Side. He adds that African Americans do not want to live any other place. He says he thinks African American are happier when they are together. Max asks if it is not true that they are more profitable when they are together. Mr. Dalton says it would be unethical to charge less rent because he would be underselling his competitors. Max asks if Mr. Dalton's charity is a salve to his conscience for gouging these people on rent. He asks Mr. Dalton if the poor conditions of the Thomas's housing might have contributed to his daughter's death. He does not understand the question.
A number of other witnesses are called to testify; then Bigger is called to testify. Max answers for him that he does not wish to testify here. The Coroner passes the kidnapping note to the jurors as evidence. They also examine all the rest of the evidence on the table.
Next, the Coroner brings in "the raped and mutilated body of Bessie Mears." Max calls the use of Bessie Mears's body an incitement to the mob. Bigger is numb. He had forgotten Bessie during the inquest of Mary Dalton. He knows the men are using Bessie's body to make the jurors want to kill him urgently. He sees that they are treating Bessie as mere evidence. He knows the European Americans never searched for African Americans who killed African Americans. He feels a deeper sympathy for Bessie than he ever had when she was alive. He knows how much Bessie would have hated having her body paraded before all these European Americans. He knows he is their property. The coroner flings the sheet back from Bessie's body. He covers his eyes and photographs are taken of him. The jury is removed from the room and, in a few moments, returns. It recommends that Bigger Thomas be charged with murder. The inquest is over. Max tells him they will take him to the Cook County jail and that he should get some sleep.
Outside the building, Bigger hears the mob's cries for his death. They yell out "burn the black ape." The police take him to the Dalton house to re-enact the scene. He refuses. When leaving the house, he sees a burning cross. He is confused. He cannot understand why they would burn a cross. He remembers the preacher's face that morning when he had told him that there was a cross for everyone. He wonders if white people want him to love Jesus, too. He feels that it is wrong for them to burn a cross. He hears the crowd yelling, "He's looking at it! He sees it!" He understands it is not the cross of Christ, but the cross of the Ku Klux Klan. He wonders if the preacher has trapped him. He wants to tear the preacher's cross from him neck. Back in his cell, he snatches it from his throat and throws it away. The guards try to make him keep it. He tells them, "I ain't got no soul."

To those weary of winter the first bit of relief can be found sprouting amid heaps of decaying leaves at the end of March or the beginning of April. Hepatica, one of the earliest arriving wildflowers and harbinger of the spring season, emerges from bleak forest floors to decorate the surroundings with vivid arrays of pastel purple, lavender, pink, and white. It's an exotic departure from the monotonous hues of winter that have heavily dominated the landscape for months. Though somewhat small, these flowers pack a rather large punch and remind us that renewal is close at hand.
"When at the maturity of its charms, it is certainly the gem of the woods," the naturalist John Burroughs once admiringly wrote. To him, its colorful and delicate features were "enough to hold and arrest the dullest eye." Hepatica with all its refined beauty and lively charms certainly does supersede the flowers of the smelly and unappealing skunk cabbage, whose tiny and concealed blossoms are technically the first of the year to appear, driven to an exceedingly early start by this species ability to generate heat, a process known as thermogenesis, and is literally able to melt its way out of the snow. Notwithstanding this unique trait, "the plebian skunk cabbage...ought scarcely to be reckoned among true flowers," according to Neltje Blanchan, an early 20th Century wildflower expert.
Hepatica has its own defense against the cold and erratic weather of the early spring season. Each bud and stem is coated with a fine layering of white hair that functions as what one author has described as a "fur overcoat." Apart from retaining residual heat, this fuzz creates a barrier that keeps ice from forming on the plant. What's more, its leathery leaves are imbued with antifreeze-like properties that enable it to photosynthesize all year long. These evergreen leaves allow hepatica to sequester additional energy which will later be utilized to gain a head-start in the first days of spring. Unlike hepatica, many spring ephemerals do not possess the necessary reserves to blossom so early, as they quickly wither down to the rootstock after flowering and setting seed, ultimately hibernating until the following season. They are therefore slower to produce flowers, needing to accumulate resources as they go, rather than by prudently securing them ahead of time as hepatica does.
The chilly conditions of early spring sometimes pose another problem to hepatica. A seasonal low abundance of pollinating insects frequently results in lonely flowers devoid of any beneficial visitation. Plants, luckily, have the ability to self-fertilize if necessary. While not as useful as cross-pollination, this strategy ensures an adequate quantity of seeds is still produced. Each tiny seed comes packaged with a nutrient and lipid rich appendage called an elaiosome. This structure encourages insects, primarily ants, to scatter the seeds to a new location. Once the seeds have been transported back to the colony, the elaiosome is promptly excised and the seed body discarded in waste pits, usually a fair distance from the parent plant. This strategy is not unique to hepatica; many other spring ephemerals utilize this or similar techniques to colonize new locales by use an ant host, a tactic called myrmecochory.
Two forms of hepatica exist in the U.S., differentiated primarily by leaf shape. Blunt-lobed hepatica (Hepatica nobilis var. obtusa) has rounded, or blunt leaves, while those of the sharp-lobed variety (Hepatica nobilis var. acuta) come to a point at the tip. Apart from physical characteristics, habitat preferences contrast as well. The blunt-lobed form typically inhabits forested upland environments with acid soils; sharp-lobed is found more often in moist lowlands, containing richer and more neutral soil. Hepatica ranges all along the east coast and up into Canada, continuing westward to the states just beyond the Mississippi. These two varieties, or subspecies, were once considered to be distinct species, but over the years taxonomists have revised their opinions, deciding that these differences aren't substantial enough to warrant a completely separate classification.
It is difficult to pin down where a particular color form might reside. Some forests contain plants all bearing an identical hue; others possess numerous shades and varying levels of intermixing and may have plants growing side by side sporting vastly different colors. Some observation has gone into attempting to discover the root of these various color morphs. Research by the Torrey Botanical Club documented that brighter colors are likelier to arise in the blunt-lobed type, and that white flowers are more closely associated with its counterpart. Comments made by John Burroughs confirm this observation. After examining "hundreds of specimens" of sharp-lobed hepatica, he notes that "the white ones...were largely in the ascendant."
In terms of scent, reports are somewhat more conflicting. Burroughs was perplexed by how some flowers exuded a rich odor while others were more demure and scentless, and how it all varied from year to year. One season after a harsh winter nearly all the flowers he came across possessed a "most delicious perfume." Other seasons, however, proved considerably bland, and scented individuals were more irregular in distribution. He believed that white flowers of "both varieties" occurred to be sweet scented most often. Remarks in an 1885 edition of Vicks Monthly Magazine, on the other hand, indicated that blunt-lobed hepatica was more odiferous, though this was noted only in relation to those "transplanted into gardens." It seems that this is a mystery that still needs unraveling.
The unusual etymology of this species comes about from its leaves resembling the lobed outline and sometimes color of a liver, and is derived from the Greek word for the organ, hepatikos. It has also been called liverwort and liverleaf. Under the doctrine of signatures, an outdated belief that a plant's physical appearance was a sign for its usefulness in treating correlating human body parts, hepatica plants were steadily employed as a cure to fix an ailing liver or hepatic system.
One report from a 19th Century review of drugs and medicines startlingly details the voracious level of hepatica leaf consumption for medicinal tonics and home remedies. The author reports that in 1883 "one state alone... supplied more than 30,000 pounds." When American suppliers could no longer meet the overwhelming demand, German sources were eagerly sought (similar subspecies grow throughout much of Europe). In the same year it was estimated that "an aggregate of more than 450,000 pounds was imported and gathered for our home market" and that "the demand is still on the increase." Not surprisingly, collection led to the plant "becoming scarce over some sections of our country." This trend continues today, although over the years hepatica has rebounded significantly more than the similarly exploited American ginseng, which was also, and still is, hunted to near extinction. Hepatica, by contrast, is little used today for anything more than decorating the occasional garden.
Though hepatica was soon discovered to be as "utterly unmedicinal as the grass of the field," this is one plant whose presence at the conclusion of winter is surely able to uplift the spirits at least. Spotting one of hepatica's dainty flowers rear its colorfully proud head to the cheery light of a warm spring day easily infuses us with the "tonic of wildness," deemed by Thoreau to be so necessary to our continued well-being.

It is impossible to read the Book of Esther without seeing the overwhelming providence of God. From King Ahasuerus' timely insomnia to Haman's march to the very gallows that he, himself, had prepared, we see God as the Sovereign King. It is a book of the ongoing struggle of Satan against the purpose and plans of God. In what appears to be a terrible situation of unfair persecution, we see that throughout it all, God is in control.
The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 13:8 that we serve our God Who is the same "yesterday, today, and forever." How encouraging that is to us as we look at the struggles we face in the world today. Just as the Jews of Esther's day faced great uncertainty in their future, many people today wonder how they will survive in the trials they face. Each year in late winter/early spring the festival of Purim that was instituted in the book of Esther is celebrated. As with the people of God nearly 2500 years ago, even when we are faithless, our Sovereign God is faithful (2Timothy 2:13).It has been well noted that while there is no mention of God by name in the Book of Esther, He, like the unseen rudder of a ship, is very much in control. The exciting story of the overruling providence of God could have been written just as much today as it was nearly 500 years before the King of the Universe made Himself of no reputation, took on the form of a bondservant, and came in the likeness of man (Philippians 2:7). What a mighty and powerful God we serve!
At a pivotal point in God's plan, Esther was faced with a frightening challenge (4:5-14). The response of her cousin, however, is a reminder that regardless of Esther's actions, God was in control and deliverance would come to His people. We, like Esther, have the same opportunity to trust Him in the midst of our trials. The same God who delivered them, is the same God who delivers us today. We must determine to lean on Him, to have a Godly and teachable spirit believing that we are not a rudderless ship being tossed about on a stormy sea. God continues to steer the ship of our lives, no matter how difficult it may be for us to see. Nothing is accidental to the child of God. He has us right where He wants us to be "for such a time as this."

This summer I have gone to see movies at the local drive-in theater at least once a month. My husband and I like to borrow a truck and snuggle up in the back for the double feature. The drive-in usually shows movie pairings that include something for everyone, which could include anything from comedy to family movies to action. I enjoy all of these genres so the drive-in is the ideal choice for us.
Another favorite is the theater close by with only one screen. I like this theater because they keep the ticket prices comparatively low. And even though they only show one movie at a time, it is generally the one that I want to see.
I usually go to the movies with my husband or friends. We like to load up on water, coffee and snacks, especially if we are going to the drive-in, and we make sure our adt Home Alarm is set before we leave the house.
Occasionally I will take in a 3-D movie at the larger theater downtown, but I am more likely to opt for the cheaper option of the drive-in. I will only pay more for a 3-D movie if it's a movie that I've been dying to see and know will be worth the price. But no matter where the location, I love movies and will continue to see them as long as they are made.

I made this photograph in 2010 and somehow forgot all about it until working on my archives today. It's quite unusual to see a horse being hitched at a convenience store, though I'm sure Surrency once had more than its fair share of horses. These young men even made sure to "park" the horses within the marked parking spaces.

Watson House, Surrency
I wondered if this could be the old Allen Surrency house, so famous for a series of hauntings in the 1870s, but George Eason and Bruce Carson both wrote to say that that house was across the street and burned many years ago. George's aunt, Maggie Watson, lived here and he recalls visiting her in this house until the early 1960s.

Healing©2007 Celeste Billhartz
Forced surrender and coercion have always been the underbelly of infant adoption, along with the shaming of yesterday and the schmoozing of today. We know the girl/mothers, past and present, never got over the loss of their babies. That, alone, should be reason enough to end infant adoption.
How do we heal this open wound? Many want the girl/mothers to forgive and forget. Others want them all to just go away ... again. Well, that isn't going to happen. They are 80 and 70 and 60, 50 40, 30 and .... as young as 20 ... and they are not keeping quiet about their losses and the misdeeds of others.
They know they were taken advantage of as girl/mothers and they are telling the truth.
Healing begins, for many older moms, when they meet their children and know they are OK. It begins for younger moms when strained conversations with adoptive mothers fade. It begins when their own mothers -- who refused to help them keep their babies -- apologize. One of the most powerful sentences a mother ever told her daughter was this: "I am sorry I gave your child away."
I often wonder how future social engineers, researchers and writers will assess this anomaly in our culture. How could so many people have been so wrong for so long? Wasn't adoption good and sensible hundreds of years ago, when orphaned pioneer children, who lost their parents in the move west, climbed into the covered wagons of other families and became part of their lives? I suspect none of those adoptive parents pretended the children were their own. I suspect they introduced them as the children of so and so.
Things went wrong when greed turned infants into commodities and demand created a market that is stronger than ever.
There are many good women who bought infants from orphanages, church organizations, doctors, lawyers and baby brokers .. and raised them right. They believed what they were told -- the mothers were too young to keep the babies, or they had plans for college, and the babies needed good homes. The baby-marketers lied, the government lied, the churches lied. And, all the while, the middle-class mothers of the unmarried mothers remained silent -- grateful to be relieved of scandal.
So, how do we heal ourselves -- mothers, adoptees, and our grandmothers and our adoptive mothers?
Here are some ways to start, right now, right where we are:
1. Families and friends, churches and organizations -- especially women's organizations -- please, accept and respect single women as mothers, support them financially and emotionally, and welcome them -- with their babies -- to your families, churches and organizations.
2. Women-of-conscience, please stop adopting. Use your maturity and financial security to mentor young mothers and their babies. Do not buy their babies and imagine they are your own. The businesses and agencies who troll for white babies and schmooze buyers for them, will not stop on their own. Women must stop buying the babies.
3. Adopted adults -- find your mothers and natural families and spend time with them. Learn who you are and why you do the things you do. You are not cheating on your adoptive mother by loving your natural mother. It's ok to love them both.
4. Adoptive mothers -- recognize that reunion is not about you. Be gracious, be cooperative, be accepting of the reunion and the usual ups and downs that go with it. You don't have to like this outcome, but you must accept it. You owe that to his/her mother. Her loss was your gain. Be kind.
5. Kinship Care must replace Foster Care/Adoption. Too many infants and toddlers are rushed into faux-foster homes so that faux-foster mothers can adopt them and agencies can get a bonus. Families and responsible friends must be allowed to take in the infants and toddlers when allegations of neglect or abuse are made. You, in social services, please do the right thing. Please influence your agencies and professional organizations to support Kinship Care over Foster Care/Adoption for infants and toddlers.
Adopted people love their adoptive families and mean them no harm, but the desire to know who we are is deep and lasting. We must know all our people. Then, perhaps, healing can begin.

Enterprise Holdings, which owns and operates more than 400 Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car rental facilities in metro New York, has reduced its local energy use by almost 10 percent since 2010. Even more recently, the metro New York team reduced energy consumption by more than 530,000 kilowatt-hours in its facilities during a five-month period.
"Decreasing energy use in each of our rental branches can make a real difference in our business," said Andy Church, president and general manager for Enterprise Holdings in New York. "Our presence in every U.S. market means that even small changes can have a significant impact."
In 2010, Enterprise Holdings committed to reduce both energy use and energy costs by 20 percent companywide through its 20/20 Vision initiative, with $50 million in energy cost savings by 2015.
"Our hope is for our metro New York locations to collectively reduce energy use by up to 25 percent by 2015," Church said.
To that end, Lee Broughton, head of corporate sustainability for Enterprise Holdings, stresses the cumulative impact of all 76 of the company's regional subsidiaries participating in the company's 20/20 Vision initiative.
Energy Efficiency efforts range from installing energy-efficient lighting to adding motion sensors on thermostats and controlling parking lot lighting with an astronomic timer.
