I was betrayed - Benny White shocked after being booted as mayor
Gareth Davis Sr, Gleaner Writer
Port Antonio, Portland:
Former Mayor of Port Antonio Benny White has labelled his booting from the post in the Portland Parish Council following the passing of a no-confidence motion yesterday an act of betrayal on the part of one of his colleagues.
White was booted during a 5-3 majority voting by councillors, including that of veteran People's National Party (PNP) councillor Dexter Rowland, who pleaded with acting Secretary Manager Jennifer Brown-Cunningham, just before the ballots were tallied, that he made an error.
Rowland's pleas, however, fell on deaf ears, as the voting process was deemed to be final and transparent.
The councillors unanimously agreed to casting secret ballots, while Brown-Cunningham supervised the process.
"I know there was plot against me," commented White. "While I hold no ill feeling against anyone, it was shocking to discover that one of our own actually sided with four rival councillors of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), especially with local government elections just around the corner. We will be meeting with the party's hierarchy shortly to review this unprecedented move."
The booting of White saw Deputy Mayor Wayne McKenzie of the Prospect Division being duly installed as the new chairman of the council. His ascension was met with cheers of approval from the four JLP councillors, including Minority Leader Derron Wood, who first served notice of the no-confidence motion during last month's sitting.
There was a brief period of deafening silence following the counting of the ballots, after it was revealed that White's tenure had ended. Dozens of onlookers, who clearly came to view the outcome of the motion, were also overheard whispering that it was an act of God.
A similar sentiment was also echoed by the JLP councillors, who jumped for joy after realising that they were successful in their quest to remove the mayor from office.
"Today, we feel justified," commented Wood. "We lost all confidence in his leadership style, but the straw that broke the camel's back was his utterances during a finance meeting in December last year, where councillors, including those from the PNP side, walked out to show their disgust at his dictatorship. I have evaluated his performance at 2.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest."
A revelation at yesterday's meeting, which seemed to be a shocker to most, if not all, the eight sitting councillors, was that a document obtained through the council's accounting department showed White's personal allocation for the township (Port Antonio) over a three-year period, not including his divisional allocation, stood at a staggering $38.25 million.
White sought to justify the allocation, pointing to a number of roads works, including the Bonnie View road, which was repaired for approximately $4 million. But several councillors were overheard murmuring about where that large sum was spent, given the fact that two sitting PNP councillors, McKenzie and Rowland, also provided assistance from their allocation to the township.
Amid yesterday's booting, White got some consolation as he was elected deputy mayor, after Rowland declined to accept that post.

It was Mengele who is principally associated with selecting those who were gassed on arrival and those who survived.
Known as the "Angel of Death", a flick of the wrist immediately condemned some to the gas chambers, while others were deemed able to work for a while before being murdered.
In his 21 months at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Mengele was a regular figure on the platform when the trains came.
Those who survived the camp, remember Mengele as being immaculately dressed as he indicated those who should go to the left (immediately to the gas chambers) of him, and those who should go to the right – to work. On one occasion, it is said that a blockhouse housing 750 women became infested with lice.
Mengele ordered that all of the women in the hut should be gassed and then the blockhouse should be deloused.
Josef Mengele gained infamy for his experiments on twins while at Auschwitz-Birkenau – though he also worked at other camps during World War Two.
In 1937, Mengele joined the Nazi Party and one year later he joined the SS.
Mengele fought in the Russiancampaign but he was so badly wounded that he was considered unfit for frontline military service. His early years seemed normal – he was deemed to be an intelligent and popular person in his home town.
After recovering from his wounded, Mengele volunteered to work in concentration camps. After leaving school, Mengele went to Munich to study philosophy.
After this, he studied medicine at Frankfurt University.

What to look for on Smart Talk Monday, January 30, 2017:
There were protests around the country this weekend after President Donald Trump's Executive Order Friday that bars all refugees from entering the U.S. .for 120 days, as well as citizens of seven largely Muslim countries for 90 days. The order resulted in some immigrants being detained at airports across the country, including Philadelphia, and around the world. It also left many confused. We'll hear from several people during the program.
The Trump Administration and Republican majorities in Congress have made repealing the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare a priority. However, health insurance coverage for 2017 is not affected and Americans are still able to sign up for insurance, but the deadline to do so is Tuesday.
The overwhelming number of news stories about the possible demise of the ACA and as of yet defined replacement plan may have led some to believe there was no reason to enroll or shop in the healthcare marketplace. In addition, the Trump Administration has withdrawn about $5 million in advertising to cut costs.
More than 11 million people had signed up this year through December 24th.
Monday's Smart Talk focuses on open enrollment and questions about healthcare.

Today at the 95th Annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons, Covidien introduced its V-Loc absorbable device for knotless, soft tissue repair.
"The V-Loc device is a breakthrough in dermal wound closure technology, and the feedback we are getting from surgeons who have tested the device is overwhelmingly enthusuastic," said Dr. Michael Tarnoff, Chief Medical Affairs Officer, Surgical Devices, at Covidien.
Continued at link.
The V-loc is a self-anchoring loop and barb device that eliminates the need to tie knots while providing even tension across the wound through multiple tissue layers. (See more about V-Loc.)
Covidien is also covered in the MMD report #S247, "Worldwide Wound Management Market, 2008-2017", and report #S175, "Worldwide Surgical Sealants, Glues and Wound Closure Market, 2009-2013".

My dream is to help women change the negative things about how they see themselves. I get the most pushback and friction when I try to help them let go of the "flaws" they are convinced prevent them from being beautiful.
Here's the story of a teenager, Kate, told she had "thunder thighs" by her mother. Having been told I had thunder thighs from middle school on, this doesn't sit well with me. I was lucky and had enough sense of self that I thought,
Screw whoever doesn't like my thighs! They're attached to my legs. I'm quite fond of them.
Kate added this criticism to her internal tape and it played so many times that she got liposuction at 18. And she felt worse about herself after.
I often talk about plastic surgery.
I don't personally have anything against it, and someday I may want to explore it. I do have a problem with it being advertised and talked about as a magic way to fix your self-esteem. Nearly every woman I've known or worked with has mentioned something she would like to "fix" with plastic surgery. In our society we tend to think only of glossy after shots.
We don't think about the mental, emotional and physical process of surgery and the long road to heal our bodies.
I've had a c-section. (Emergency. NOT planned) and I wouldn't wish that process or the year it takes to heal on anyone.
I've often said that getting to your goal weight, or having plastic surgery won't fix the negative voice in your head. You have to fix it by focusing on your positives and giving just as much credence to who you are as a person. Who you are as a person is much more than just what you look like.

Leadership: What About Charisma?
Has the current recession led us to believe that charisma is an obsolete–or even an undesirable–leadership characteristic? When our clients describe the profile of the perfect candidate they frequently use the terms "leader persona" or "executive stature" or "presence." Try assessing that! It's very subjective. And yet, most of us know it when we see it.
But we have witnessed during this recession leaders stumbling and groping and struggling to right their ships. Even those with charisma can't convince their stakeholders that they are on the right course. And let's not forget the charismatic leaders of the past from Enron, Tyco, and Hollinger, just to name a few, some of whom are (rightly!) now in prison.
So, should we hold charisma in contempt?
INSEAD recently sponsored a leadership development conference. One of the organizers, a professor at INSEAD, said that it is an illusion to think that "at a time of crisis…a few charismatic individuals…is all we need." In fact, he suggested that we should examine the "systemic cultural drivers (that have) led to some of the crises we're facing today." That would include the appeal of the charismatic leader.
Professor Petrigliere suggests that instead of developing individuals, we should be developing "leadership communities."
The scope and complexity of the challenges we face today call for more than one person whose charisma might conceal their inability to individually lead their organizations through the recession, the recovery and beyond.
That points to the need for leadership development programs and strategies that will produce new leaders with world-class skills who possess the attributes of a leader beyond personal magnetism.
Companies – not just large organizations, but small- and medium-sized businesses as well – need to start by identifying their high potential employees, engaging, developing, and retaining them. All four components are important, but certainly identifying the "hi-pot" people is the starting point, and there's no better indicator of future potential and predictor of success than a strong track record of top performance. But that is only half of the equation. Beyond performance, companies should look for, and assess, key personal attributes such as resilience, adaptability, intelligence, focus, emotional maturity (EIQ), energy, stamina, fortitude, and integrity.
Budget constraints may limit what companies can provide in the way of formal development programs, but some of the best training is on the job, which is also an effective way to assess the attributes mentioned above. Many companies are not fully staffed, so it's quite possible that high-potential employees can be given new assignments, participate in cross-functional and stretch projects, and even be re-assigned to new roles that will train and develop them for future leadership positions, and at the same time will be viewed by ambitious employees as an opportunity to develop new skills and obtain "career-enhancing" experience, which will enhance their engagement and reward the company with the retention of key human resources.
Of course, if a company's internal pool of high-potential future leaders is too shallow, the company is at risk and external recruitment will need to be considered. Hiring managers need to make sure that when they interview candidates, they assess their abilities to get the job done today, and-critically-look very at candidates' future leadership potential. Interviewers should include simulations and they should drill down for details surrounding accomplishments – ask why and how; ask about consequences; ask about relationships. Look for those key personal leadership attributes.

Extensive Definition
A blessing, (also used to refer to bestowing of such) is the infusion of something with holiness, divine will, or one's hopes.
EtymologyThe modern English language term bless likely derives from the 1225 term blessen, which developed from the Old English blǣdsian (preserved in the Northumbrian dialect around 950 AD). The term also appears in other forms, such as blēdsian (before 830 and derived from Proto-Germanic *blōðisōjanan), blētsian from around 725 and blesian from around 1000, all meaning to make sacred or holy by a sacrificial custom in Germanic paganism; to mark with blood. Due to this, the term is related to the term blōd, meaning blood. References to this indigenous practice, Blót, exist in Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic sources.
The modern meaning of the term may have been influenced in translations of the bible into Old English during the process of Christianization to translate the Latin term benedīcere meaning to "speak well of", resulting in meanings such as to "praise" or "extol" or to speak well of or to wish well.
Abrahamic religion
Within Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism and similar traditions, formal blessings of the church are performed by bishops, priests, and sometimes deacons, but as in many other religions, anyone may informally bless another.
"To be blessed" means 'to be favoured by God'. Blessings therefore are directly associated with God and come from God. Therefore to express a blessing, is like bestowing a wish on someone that she will experience the favour of God. "May you have a blessed Christmas", therefore can also be translated as: "May you experience the favor of God during this Christmas period."
In the Bible, blessings and curses are related; the book of Deuteronomy prescribes that obedience to the Torah brings God's blessing, while disobedience brings a curse.
One of the first incidences of blessing in the Bible is in Genesis where Abram is ordered by the to leave his country and is told:
The Priestly Blessing is set forth at Numbers :
- May the bless you, and keep you;
- May the make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
- May the turn his countenance to you and grant you peace.
- May the make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
The New Testament commands Christians to bless and not to curse (Bible verse |Matthew|5:44|KJV; Bible verse |Luke|6:28|KJV; Bible verse |Romans|12:14|KJV). This supports the Christian doctrine that God is a God of love & mercy and that the Bible teaches that cursing and anger should be left to God - not us (in the sense that He will judge our works).
This formula has been introduced into Christian worship as well. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus pronounces blessings on the poor, the humble, and the persecuted in the Beatitudes at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church blessings are bestowed by bishops and priests in a liturgical context, raising their right hand and making the sign of the cross with it over persons or objects to be blessed. They also make blessings to begin divine services and at the dismissal at the end. A priest or bishop may also use a Blessing cross to bestow blessings.
Islam has no clerical caste, and therefore no blessings reserved to specific individuals. Islam itself is regarded as being a "Blessing upon mankind". Muslims will frequently pronounce "peace and blessings be upon him" when mentioning the name of Muhammad. Muslims will also greet one another with a blessing on such occasions as Eid.
Other usesA blessing can also be a request for permission, as in "gaining your parents' blessing" would consist of having been granted consent. Clergy will normally receive a blessing from their ecclesiastical superiors to begin their ministry. In the Russian Orthodox Church pious laymen would go to a starets (elder) to receive his or her blessing before embarking upon any important work or making a major decision in their life.
In Spanish, there is a blessing which can be used as a tender farewell, especially from a parent: Vaya con Dios ("Go with God"), also Adios (A Dios, "to God"), similar to the French Adieu.
Blessing is also a term used for marriage in the Unification Church.
Blessing is the collective noun for a group of Unicorns.

Finding help this Suicide Prevention Month
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) -- It's really a taboo topic -- talking about a loved one who died by suicide, or finding the words to reach out to someone who you think is struggling.
But the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is encouraging you to walk out of the darkness.
Crystal Graham lights up with she talked about her twin sister Christina.
"She was beautiful, she had so many friends. She was always the person when she walked into a room she lit it up," Graham said.
But behind the smile, Christina struggled with a dark side.
"She was never diagnosed with depression but certainly exhibited signs of depression. She did talk openly about dying by suicide," Graham said.
That is how Christina died.
"We had never known anyone who had died by suicide," Graham said.
Now as the area director of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Graham is doing everything she can to prove that talk saves lives.
An important tool in her own recovery after Christina's death has been the Out of the Darkness Community Walk.
"It shows we'll come out of the darkness into the light of day and talk about this and show this overwhelming support from the community for people who struggle and people who have had a loss."
If you're concerned about someone, Graham wants you to trust your gut and reach out before it's too late.
"I think there is a part of Christina on the day that she died that wanted to live and there was a part of her who wanted to die.
There are several Out of the Darkness walks in our area -- in Lynchburg, Salem in October and in Danville in November.

JOHN HYRCANUS II., high priest from 78 to 40 B.C., was the eldest son of Alexander Jannaeus by his wife Alexandra, and was thus a grandson of the preceding. When his father died in 78, he was by his mother forthwith appointed high priest, and on her death in 69 he claimed the succession to the supreme civil authority also; but, after a brief and troubled reign of three months, he was compelled to abdicate both kingly and priestly dignities in favour of his more energetic and ambitious younger brother Aristobulus II. In 63 it suited the policy of Pompey that he should be restored to the high priesthood, with some semblance of supreme command, but of much of this semblance even he was soon again deprived by the arrangement of the pro-consul Gabinius, according to which Palestine was in 57 B.C. divided into five separate circles (a6vo5ot, auvf5pta). For services rendered to Caesar after the battle of Pharsalia, he was again rewarded with the sovereignty (apouraaia roil gavots, Jos. Ant. xx. to) in 47 B.C., Antipater of Idumaea, however, being at the same time made procurator of Judaea. In 41 B.C. he was practically superseded by Antony's appointment of Herod and Phasael to be tetrarchs of Judaea; and in the following year he was taken prisoner by the Parthians, deprived of his ears that he might be permanently disqualified for priestly office, and carried to Babylon. He was permitted in 33 B.C. to return to Jerusalem, where on a charge of treasonable correspondence with Malchus, king of Arabia, he was put to death in 30 B.C.

Kitchen 21
The # Küche 21 – 1:1 project created a new impulse on the market of a remote subcenter of Vienna, mixing different target groups and activating public space with the production of an architectural intervention: A kitchen that works as a public platform on the market, allowing for cooking events with food directly from the market, spontaneous gatherings and various low-threshold events for the local community organized by students and locals. At the moment it is still in use as described, but due to its temporary nature the permit is valid for two more weeks. Currently I am organizing an after-use in the outdoor spaces of a refugee camp in Vienna.

Prosthetic Heart Valves Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast to 2016 to 2024
Press Release • Feb 21, 2017 02:24 EST
Prosthetic Heart Valve Market Overview
Prosthetic (artificial) heart valve refers to a device implanted in the heart of a patient with valvular heart disease. Through a cardiac surgery, a prosthetic heart valve replaces the abnormal heart valve. Replacement of a diseased valve with a prosthetic heart valve results in reduction in the morbidity and mortality associated with the cardiac valve disorder. When the treatment of heart valve disease reaches to a stage that it does not provide relief to patient then surgery is the best alternative to repair or replace the valve. If surgery is not a repair then there is a choice between carbon based mechanical valves and biological tissue valve. The patient will choose the type of the valve depending on the condition. Advancement in technology and increasing prevalence of heart valve diseases are some major factors that will drive the prosthetic heart valve market.
Ask for FREE SAMPLE REPORT @ https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/insight/request-sample/69
Selection of a Heart Valve also depends on the Type of Polymer
Based on the product type, the global prosthetic heart valve market can be differentiated into mechanical heart valves, transcatheter heart valves and tissue heart valves. Tissue heart valves are harvested from pig heart valves and cow heart sac. The life of tissue valve is 10 to 15 years. Tissue heart valves is further classified into stented tissue valve, stent less tissue valve, tissue engineered valves, homograft and heterograft valves. Aortic valves and mechanical mitral valves are included in mechanical heart valves.
Technologies for prosthetic heart valves include anti-calcification technology, sutureless valves, polymers and carbon based technologies. The primary cause of failure of bioprosthetic valves is structural valve deterioration due to tissue calcification. An anticalcification technology was developed that may irreversibly choke calcium binding sites in bioprosthetic valves. In February 2016, the FDA approved a new technology called sutureless aortic valve replacement which is used to treat aortic valve disease. Sutureless valve treat aortic valve disease and is less invasive for patients. The use of polymers to produce leaflet valves which have same benefit of bioprosthetic and mechanical valves has been available since mid-1950s. Much attention has been focused on thermoplastic polyurethanes because of good properties.
Developed Nations Current Hubs, while Low and Middle Income Countries to emerge as Major Markets
Increasing prevalence of heart diseases, technological advancements, government funding, robust healthcare infrastructure, and rise in healthcare expenditure in the U.S. are major factors projected to propel growth of the prosthetic heart valve market in this region. According to Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) about 610,000 people die due to heart diseases in U.S. every year. The growth of prosthetic heart valve market in Asia is expected to be high in the near future due to increasing incidence of various chronic diseases and improving healthcare infrastructure in this region. According to a study published in the Lancet—a U.K.-based medical journal—the number of people affected by high blood pressure has almost doubled over past 40 years (from 1975 to 2015).
Growing Aging Population highly susceptible to Heart Diseases to Spur growth of the prosthetic heart valve market
Advancements in technology, increasing aging population, and significant rise in prevalence of heart valve disorder are some factors that are expected to drive growth of the prosthetic heart valve market in the near future. However, factors such as high costs of development, stringent government regulations, reimbursement issues, and lack of trained professionals are inhibiting growth of the prosthetic heart valve market to certain extent.
Browse Research Report @ https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/ongoing-insight/prosthetic-heart-valve-market-69
Global players involved in the prosthetic heart valve market
The prosthetic heart valve market is characterized by the presence of major global players. Some of the prominent names include Boston Scientific Corporation, St. Jude Medical, Inc., Sorin S.P.A, Abbott Laboratories, Claret Medical, Inc., AorTech, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, Neovasc Inc., and JenaValve Technology.
Better Patient Outcomes utilizing Prosthetic Heart Valves to Ensure Sustained Demand
Developed regions such as North America and Europe are rapidly growing regions in the prosthetic heart valve market, mainly attributed to robust healthcare infrastructure, increasing prevalence of valvular heart disease, and favorable reimbursement scenario. The experience of using an aortic bioprosthetic valve treated with anticalcification tissue technology demonstrates excellent valve performance, safety, and durability. Minimally invasive devices for treatment of heart surgery are the need of the hour to ensure better patient experience. The sutureless valve technology is less invasive for patients, which is expected to witness higher adoption in the near future. Transcatheter has given improved patient survival rate when compared with medical therapy.

Ford has unveiled plans to debut their first solar-powered car next week at the 2014 International CES show in Las Vegas. The new C-MAX Solar Energi concept is based on the C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid, but the addition of solar panels means that it can harness the power of the sun to provide emissions-free driving.
According to Ford, the C-MAX Solar Energi concept can convert a day's worth of sunlight to deliver the same performance as the conventional C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid, which draws its power from the electric grid.
"Ford C-MAX Solar Energi Concept shines a new light on electric transportation and renewable energy," said Mike Tinskey, Ford global director of vehicle electrification and infrastructure. "As an innovation leader, we want to further the public dialog about the art of the possible in moving the world toward a cleaner future."
The Ford C-MAX Solar Energi Concept is estimated to have the same total range as a conventional C-MAX Energi of up to 620 miles, including up to 21 electric only miles. Additionally, the vehicle still has a charge port and can be charged by connecting to a charging station via cord and plug so that drivers retain the option to power up via the grid.
It hasn't been announced if the C-MAX Solar Energi concept will ever be produced, but after it is shown at CES, Ford and Georgia Tech will begin testing the vehicle in numerous real-world scenarios. The outcome of those tests will help to determine if the concept is feasible as a production car.

Best Tips for Water Extraction McDade
Water Damage Restoration is a very difficult task, especially if you are doing everything all by yourself. To avoid the problems and mistakes that could turn up to be a disaster, one should hire a Water Extraction McDade Company. If you go in for a company with experienced team of personnel it will be good for you in long run. They have the experience of restoring things from water damage very easily and try to Avoid the Big Losses.
The sooner your call, the lesser your losses will be. Water damage restoration companies especially in Water Extraction McDade and the surrounding areas will also guarantee you that their repair estimates will be accepted by the insurance company which means that you have almost nothing to lose by hiring professionals.
Interesting Facts About Water Extraction McDade
Whether you have had a small leak in one of your pipes or a full out flood, water damage mold is nothing to be taken lightly. Mold can be very persistent and hard to get rid of and it can also be hazardous to your health. Not only that but if left unchecked, mold will ruin any surface it grows on.
What Is Mold?
Mold is a fungi whose job it is to decompose things. We often think of it as decomposing vegetables, bread and other foods that have been left around but when it gets into your home, mold can decompose your carpets, your drywall, your clothing, your books and any other organic surface in your home.
Mold loves more sure which is why water damage mold is so common in flooded areas. Since mold spores are always present outside, it doesn't take too much for them to get inside you all in all they need is a moist area, some organic material and the temperature of between two and 40°C. Needless to say, you don't have to experience a major flood to get mold in your home.
What To Do
If you have mold in your home whether it's from a simple leak in a pipe or your basement flooding, you want to assess the extent of the damage. Get into the area and see how bad the mold is. If it is excessive, you probably want to check your insurance policy to see if mold damage is covered and then call the insurance company. In many cases a mold remediation company is necessary to remove the mold safely.
If you just have a minor leak at a pipe that has caused a little area of mold that you may be able to remove yourself. The first thing is to be sure of where the mold this. Remember, it can grow on wood, drywall, carpeting, fabrics and books so you want to check to make sure if any of these items around that they do not have mold on them.
When removing the moldy items, you want to be sure that you seal him in a bag so that the mold spores do not become airborne and find another place to grow in your house. If it is a big job, you want to section off the entire area and be sure to have ventilation to the outside. Also, wear protective clothing when cleaning or removing mold as water damage mold can be very hazardous to your health.
How do I hire a Water Extraction McDade Company?
If your house has experienced a flood, you'll need to fix the ensuing water damage and remove the water. How you'll need to clean depends on the kind of flooding you've experienced. Mold problems and water damage that occur because of a broken water pipe which contains clean water will not be nearly as bad as the damage from a broken sewer line or water from a storm.
Mold and damage from clean water won't be as severe a problem. This kind of damage can usually be solved by a thorough drying of the house followed by a simple mold check. Your home can be dried by simply opening all of the windows and doors.
Following that, remove all of your personal items from the home. Carpet removal and replacement might also be necessary to prevent mold. This step can help keep mold from getting into your floorboards. You can also put fans at locations in your home to speed the drying process.
If you feel that your water damage is too severe, you can call a specialist to inspect the damage and see if the structure or foundation of the home has been compromised. A damaged foundation can lead to more serious problems, eventually. If this is an issue, you'll need to take care of it previous to any necessary mold and water damage repair.
If your water damage is because of a storm or from a sewer, you should either know exactly how to repair the damage, or hire a cleaning processional. The concerns about mold from dirty water are far greater than the risks with clean water. Even clean water can cause mold growth, if it's not taken care of soon enough. Unclean water is known to cause more rapid mold growth.
Mold and water damage usually accompany each other. Moisture causes mold to grow. To prevent the growth of mold and to fix water damage, it's recommended to quickly heat the affected area to 115 degrees for a period of 24 hours. There are molds that can cause death to pets and even people. To avoid serious health issues, clean up procedures should happen immediately, as soon as it is safe to return to the home. Do not allow any time for mold to grow. After you're completely cleaned up your home, ask the health board to visit and perform an inspection for mold. Almost every community offers this service for free.
Water Damage and Its After-Effects
You arrive at home and walk into the kitchen or living room and, OH NO! It looks like it is raining from your ceiling! What should you do? First thing, remain calm. Do not turn on any lights or appliances in the area, to avoid electrical shorting or possible electrocution. Stay away from underneath the water damaged ceiling area (as best as possible) as sometimes a water damaged ceiling will collapse and could cause serious injury.
If the water damaged ceiling is on the first floor, check the second floor to possibly see where the water is coming from and perhaps shutoff the water flow. Some possible and common sources of water: Toilet overflow. Overflowing sink, or tub, that was left on and that is clogged or slow draining. Washing machine overflow. Roof leak (immediately call a 24 HR. emergency service roofer). For many of these issues you will be able to shutoff the flow of water by immediately correcting the problem. If the cause is a broken or cracked supply line (under a toilet or sink) try to shut off the corresponding valve at the source, thereby stopping the flow of water. If none of these solutions work, shut off the water main valve to your house. If this is not possible, call an emergency service plumbing company for help. Remember it is always a good thing to have an established relationship with a plumbing company, especially one who offers 24 hour emergency service.
After you have shut off the water source, you may want to carefully place bowls or buckets where the water was leaking through the ceiling, this will help to prevent water damage to flooring or cabinets below the water damaged ceiling. Remember though, safety first! Do not go beneath a ceiling that looks saturated or cracked. Often, water will drain through ceiling registers or can lights. In this situation this is a normal occurrence as water looks for the path of least resistance to travel downward and often these pre-cut light and heating / air conditioning holes in the ceiling are the easiest way for water to travel downward.
After these initial steps, because of the complexity of this type of water damage situation, it is recommended that you contact a certified water damage restoration specialist to evaluate the ceiling damage. A professional will be able to correctly determine the extent and size of the water damaged ceiling and what areas can be dried or what areas of finish materials will have to be removed and replaced. An important note, even though some of the ceiling may need to be removed, the exposed wood framing beams will still need to be dried prior to re-installing dry wall (sheetrock) over them. Drying of this type is usually accomplished effectively throught the use of dehumidifiers and turbo air movers (high velocity fans). This is a very important step in the water damaged ceiling drying process and should never be ignored.

As West Michigan's startup culture continues to develop, many new tech companies are growing out of business incubators around the region.
About 70 miles north of Grand Rapids, water conservation groups continue to put pressure on a pair of developments that would withdraw hundreds of gallons of groundwater per minute.
The philanthropic efforts of nonprofits and foundations throughout Michigan are increasingly addressing bigger issues such as affordable housing, community revitalization and employment.
Congress controls the purse strings, and if last year is any indication, it will rebuff the Trump administration's effort to gut hundreds of millions of dollars in federal spending for the Great Lakes.
GRAND RAPIDS — The new generation of agricultural leaders across West Michigan will likely look different than your grandfather's farm.
From his three deployments to Iraq, where he earned two Bronze Stars for his actions, to owning and operating a Lansing, Michigan, coffee shop, Mark Thompson is the type of person who never settles. His next challenge is always around the corner; full of new things for him to learn and be excited about.
Gov. Rick Snyder's proposed final state budget includes hundreds of millions of dollars in one-time investments, increased funding for roads and years-long fees to support environmental initiatives.
GRAND RAPIDS — Nearly four years after forming a research center, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital wants to focus more on exploring and developing potential new therapies to treat patients.
Utility customers across the state could be refunded hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of the federal tax overhaul that passed in December, reducing the corporate income tax rate.
The federal research grants that Dr. Tom Rothstein and a colleague brought along when they came to Kalamazoo represent a milestone of sorts for the Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine.

Paul is fond of jumping ahead in his argument, and sometimes it makes us feel like we haven't figured out the previous section. Though not as prominent as it might have been, lurking (like some of you readers) around chp 7 is that the Law activates sin and sin leads to death.
And that is why Paul suddenly jumps in a rather glorious announcement: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (8:1).
Unpacked: Israel struggled with the Torah to do it, and couldn't get the job done. (Or, for others: everyone failed to do the Torah.) God sent Christ. Paul is thinking of death: those who are in Christ are those who have died with Christ and his death becomes their death. The condemnation that death is has been dealt with when Christ died on the cross. Now let this be said: Paul is a thanatologist. He's a mortician. His theology is about death and life.
An alternative view of 8:1 is that perhaps Paul has in mind the obedience of Christ: Christ did the Torah perfectly. Either Paul thinks in terms of imputation of Christ's obedience to us, or he is thinking in simpler terms of incorporation into the Christ who did fulfill the Torah.
The emphasis of this text is that Christ took care of death and the Spirit empowers the Christian to live obediently. The only expression here that gets close to imputation is 8:4, and it is not clear to me that Paul has that in mind. He might, and he might not.
More unpacking: For those in Christ, the condemnation to death from the Torah is over.
The "now" is the Age of the Spirit. It is the Age of Life.

Merry Christmas from Fetcham Park
When the house is decked in divine decorations ready for the festive season and the gardens and fountains start to freeze over with the first frosts, it's easy to see why Fetcham Park was picked to be the perfect winter wedding venue in The Secret Quintessentially Guide! There seems to be an extra sprinkling of magic at this time of year, as our last couple of 2013 discovered with their nuptials on Saturday.
The past 12 months have been a rollercoaster of triumphs for the team here at Fetcham Park. We've been privileged to have hosted beautiful weddings that have all brought something new to the house and added an extra layer of narrative to Fetcham's illustrious history. It has been humbling to work with so many exceptional suppliers throughout the year who have consistently delivered excellence on our behalf to our happy couples.
Fetcham has also been the backdrop for a number of editorial photo shoots, including Charlie Brear, Agnes and Norman and Asiana magazine. When the house hasn't been in front of the camera, Laura has been dipping her toe into the waters of press coverage with features in The Times and the Guardian amongst others.
A lot of this has largely been due to the excitement surrounding Fetcham's cameo appearance in the Diana movie, in which the ground floor rooms were transformed into the Imperial Suite of The Ritz for some of the pivotal scenes in the film. We were hugely proud to see Fetcham Park on the silver screen and hope that it won't be the last time it gets a leading role!
Alongside this, Laura has been busy winning reader recognition awards for her contribution to the wedding industry and also speaking at inspirational events such as Paperfest to expound on how the ideologies in the Fetcham Park Difference makes a unique experience for our clients.
As if all this wasn't enough, September also saw the launch of the beautiful new branding, website and online presence for Fetcham Park. Working with Hint Creative, Knight Studios and Simon Upton really was the feather in the cap for Fetcham Park's 21st century transformation.
Last month we were also very proud to host two events for Disability Challengers, a charity that we have long supported. Not only were we excited to welcome VIPs to the house, we were delighted that the events raised so much money for this brilliant cause and instead of sending Christmas cards we have made a donation to their fundraising so that they can continue their work in supporting local disabled children. We would also like to thank Sally Iddles Fabulous Food for catering these events and looking after our guests.
So as you can see 2013 has been a busy and brilliant year, but we're not done yet. We'll be leaping into the New Year with added gusto as we present to you The Fetcham Park Famous Five – your brand new team of wedding crack commandoes who are about to take wedding planning to a whole new level. You're going to want to come back on January 6th to find out who just became part of the Fetcham family…
In the meantime, from all of us here at Fetcham, we wish you and your families the most magical and memorable of Christmases and we can't wait to see you in the fresh light of 2014.

Ornamental grasses are a virtual no-work addition to the landscape. They come in sizes ranging from a few inches high to about 14 feet high in every shade of green, plus creamy white, yellow or even striped. Ornamental grass can be planted as a landscape specimen or ground cover, or even to control soil erosion. The dried leaves and stalks of many varieties can be left on the plants to provide winter interest in your yard and garden. It's easy to transplant ornamental grass, providing you do it at the proper time during the growing season.
Prepare the new planting site. Dig a hole approximately 2 feet in diameter and about 18 inches deep. Mix the soil you removed with a 5-gallon bucket of peat moss and a couple shovels full of compost. Loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole with a garden fork.
Cut back the top growth of the ornamental grass you are transplanting. Remove the stems and leaves so they are one-third the length they were before cutting back.
Push your spade into the soil in a circle around the ornamental grass. Begin about 12 to 18 inches out from the outer edge of the plant. Step on the shovel with your foot and rock the handle back and forth to loosen the root ball.
Go around the circle again, driving the shovel deeper into the soil and rocking the shovel back and forth to further loosen the root ball.
Push the shovel into the same circle a third time, angling the shovel so that its blade cuts the soil under the root ball of the ornamental grass. As you rock the handle back and forth the plant should start to rock. This is a sign that the roots are loosened enough to remove the plant.
Grasp the plant near its base and remove it from the ground. Shake it a little to remove any loose bits of soil from the roots.
Place the root ball into the prepared hole. Gently spread the roots out from the base toward the perimeter of the planting hole.
Back fill the hole with the improved soil. Firm it down gently but firmly with your foot as you go.
Water the transplanted ornamental grass well. Set a hose with a small trickle of water near the base of the plant. Water it for 60 to 90 minutes, until the soil is wet to the depth of the planting hole.
Spread 10-10-10 granulated fertilizer around the base of the plant, beginning about 4 inches from the outer edge, following the manufacturer's recommended rates of application.
Mulch the planting hole with shredded bark or wood chips. Put down a 4- to 6-inch layer, extending out about 12 inches from the base of the plant.

Ottawa needs a human-rights strategy
Canada's human rights reputation is under threat. The past year has seen the United Nations blast Ottawa for deplorable treatment of indigenous communities, violating international law by ignoring the Convention Against Torture and for weak anti-corruption laws that continue to allow Canadian firms to bribe overseas with relative impunity.
Amnesty International has referred to our situation as a "human rights crises." And for good reason, the UN's assessment is alarming.
With less than two years away from the launch of the prized Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the government must consider how it can reconcile the country's declining human rights image. Opening the CMHR while failing to address our human-rights challenges at home and abroad will undermine the museum's mission.
One of the more distressing trends has been the suggestion that humanitarian aid should be aligned with private-sector objectives. The recent proposal that the Canadian International Development Agency should take on new business-like roles such as trade negotiations brings wide-reaching risk to our humanitarian image.
First, allocating aid according to narrow political and economic interests will fail to meet the development needs of the world's most vulnerable populations. In fact, human security is a key plank of Canadian foreign policy. A Canadian concept, the architects of human security realized that keeping development work "humanitarian" and victim-based had value. The corporatization of humanitarianism risks minimizing important elements of a holistic aid strategy thereby undermining Canada's human rights work.
Second, corporatizing CIDA gives a negative impression of Canada's global development strategy. It presents aid as expert knowledge that is to be traded on the open market to developing economies that have resource wealth. Canada's humanitarian efforts will become synonymous with resource usurpation. Moreover, aligning CIDA with the private sector does not guarantee industry will behave ethically. If firms behave unethically, CIDA risks sharing community backlash thereby undermining the agency's credibility and development efforts.
Lastly, asking the private sector to align itself with development programs may force industry to take on new costs. Building successful public-private partnerships will require extensive and ongoing collaboration between industry, the non-profit sector, CIDA and local stakeholders. Implementing meaningful aid programs will require extensive funding and time on the part of the private sector. Still, aligning the private sector with development is an innovative idea that should not be dismissed. Rather it should be rethought.
Corporate goals can align with development especially concerning decent working practices and investing in social capital. The government should provide incentives for industry to adopt the United Nations guiding principles for business and human rights, also known as the "protect, respect and remedy" framework. The protection of human security and human rights should be firmly on the agenda as these are values that demonstrate Canada's solid global reputation.
Moreover, the government can enhance the powers of the corporate social responsibility counsellor. The private sector plays an important role in development and assisting industry to embrace human rights is critical. The CSR councillor can assist business to engage in multi-stakeholder dialogue, develop community partnerships and promote environmental sustainability.
Amnesty International is right to suggest we are in the midst of a national human rights crisis. The stakes are high and while reputational risks may be the most of our worries, humanitarian catastrophes at home and abroad are real. A new human rights strategy is needed if the world is to take us seriously as defenders freedom and justice.

Learning Your Audience
People are almost always moving so keep that in mind when creating a banner or sign. Also when they are out and about their purpose for being out is not so they can read signs. No one says, "Hey I think I go read some signs today." So what should you do about this?
To begin with start thinking like a "sign reader". Think about what the people who see your sign will be doing. That will probably help you place the sign properly. It may help you come up with the kind of message to put on it. Certainly it will help you get a better end result.
There are people who do this professionally you know. They stand behind signs or near sign and they watch the people who come by the sign. They jot down notes like:
Did the person look at the sign?
Was it a glance or did they read it?
How long did they look at the sign?
Things to Ask When Deciding Sign Placement and Messaging
These are just a few of the many notes sign watcher jot down. You probably don't want to go to the expense of hiring an outside firm to "test" the results of your banner or sign. But this article can help you make sure the sign or banner you are creating gets the right job done.
So now that you have a place for a sign and with all the competition for space today finding a place to even put a banner or sign is not easy. Here are some more questions to ask that will help you create a better message and put that message in the right place.
What will the customer be doing when they view the sign?
What direction would they most likely be looking when moving through a certain area?
Will they be sitting, standing, walking or even rushing?
Is there something going on in this area that could be influencing their thinking so our message should play off of that?
Is there something you could communicate with them as they leave the area, church or store?
Just because you need to put up a sign and you have a space does not mean you put a sign there. I hope by thinking about the questions above you can see that putting up a banner or sign is more than just finding a spot.
I know you may be thinking," Hey Steve, I just want to put up a sign. I don't want a course in Signology." (I just invented that word, you like it ☺) Okay but here is an example to help illustrate the importance of thinking about sign usage and placement.
How We Maximize Walk-In Visits With Sign Placement
When someone comes into my Printing Business we often will work up an estimate for them. So they are standing or sitting for a few minutes. It would be smart for me to observe what they do while waiting. If I can determine some places their eyes might naturally go I can think about putting a sign there. I know that is quite simple and logical but you would be surprised how many people do not consider that when placing a sign. [BTW we also invested in a low cost TV and mounted it on the wall with a rolling message of our products.] You should pay attention to this because a few feet one way or the other can be disastrous for results. After reading this blog you will start to notice this when you walk into an area that has signs. It won't be long before you are hooked on this process. Go ahead and thank me!!! [You know I founded Humility Anonymous] Actually I got a lot of my information from reading a book called Why We Buy by Paco Underhill.
Keeping Your Message Short and Sweet
What about outside banners? I bet you get the biggest message – SHORT. If people are driving by a message like, "Come in to get our FREE Checking account and save." Is not as good as FREE CHECKING. The exception to this would be a sign at a stop light and then a more detailed message may make sense. So are we all together here? We have to put ourselves in the place and mind of the customer/shopper.
