ARTHUR MIDDLETON (1742–1787), American politician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born at Middleton Place on the Ashley river, South Carolina, on the 26th of June 1742. His family was one of the most prominent in the colony. The grandfather, Arthur Middleton (1681–1737), was president of the Council in 1721—1730 and as such was acting governor in 1725–1730, and the father, Henry Middleton (1717-1784), was speaker of the Assembly in 1745–1747 and again in 1754–1755, a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1774–1776, and its president from October 1774 to May 1775, a member of the South Carolina Committee of Safety, and in 1775 president of the South Carolina Provincial Congress. Like most wealthy South Carolinians of the 18th century, Arthur Middleton was educated in England—at Hackney, at Westminster School, and at St John's College, Cambridge. He then returned to South Carolina, but soon afterwards went back to England to live, and travelled on the Continent. In 1773 he again returned to South Carolina, and in the controversies between the colonists and the home government became a leader of the Whigs. He was a member of the provincial Council of Safety in 1775–1776, and a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1776–1777. In 1778 he was elected governor of South Carolina, but owing to his dissatisfaction with the new State constitution he declined to serve. He was captured by the British at Charleston in May 1780, was exchanged in July 1781, was again a delegate to Congress in1781–1783, and later served in the state legislature. He died on the 1st of January 1787 at Middleton Place, near Charleston. His eldest son, HENRY MIDDLETON (1770-I846), was an orator of ability, was governor of South Carolina in 1810-1812, a representative in Congress in 1815-1819, and the United States minister to Russia from 182o to 183o, negotiating in 1824 a convention " relative to navigation, fishing and trading in the Pacific Ocean, and to establishments on the North-West Coast." This was the first treaty between the United States and Russia.End of Article: ARTHUR MIDDLETON (1742–1787)
Arthur Middleton is a great man that signed the declaration of independence and I'm happy for him!!!

New cloth diaper routine
I now have close to a year's worth of utilities bills to compare the befores and afters, and though I ultimately conclude that cloth diapering is more frugal, I can also say that our bills are up.
Water in particular has gone up significantly. Of course, water is the cheapest utility out there, at least in our neck of the woods. We pay our bill quarterly, so when I consider how much we pay for water each month (divide each bill by 3) it pales in comparison to the typical energy bills we get each month.
Here's the water bill breakdown:
January -- $111.99 (This bill is dated January 19, 2012, and it was sent while Natalie was still in the hospital, so it's a good baseline for our bills pre-baby.)
April -- $117.87 (We started using cloth diapers in early March, so here you can see the impact on our bill with about 6 weeks of cloth diapering.)
July -- $140.22
October -- $148.82
There's clearly a big increase in our water bill in the billing period covering the last six months, aka the time since we really started using cloth diapers.
So it seems that cloth diapers are causing our water bill to rise a good amount, right?
I assume so, but I also realize that there are other ways caring for Natalie has contributed to an increasingly large water bill. Specifically, we run the dishwasher more often now that her plates, bowls, utensils, bottles and cups are getting used multiple times per day. Also, we bathe her, and now that she's older we bathe her move often than we did when she was a newborn. And we have to wash her clothes, but I've managed to only run a load of her laundry about once every two weeks.
Other forms of baby water consumption aside, I have to believe that running a load of her diapers every other day is the greatest contributing factor to our increasing water bill. So, I've decided to change that routine ever so slightly and wash the diapers once every three days as opposed to every two days. I tried this method out a few times with our stash of 20 diapers and I found that the diapers were barely drying in enough time before I completely ran out of diapers. (In fairness, one diaper is always in our diaper bag, and one diaper is now a dedicated swimming diaper, so it's more accurate to say we were working with 18 diapers.) I ordered 4 more diapers in fun colors that weren't available when we were building our stash this time last year. Now I think we have the perfect amount of diapers for this new cleaning schedule.
Those of you using cloth diapers, have you modified your cloth diaper washing routines? Do you think you're ultimately saving money through cloth diapers over disposables? How many cloth diapers do you have? Anyone given up on cloth diapering?
1 comment:
Hey Steph! Our water bill went up a lot too. We've pretty much always bathed Sammy every day, and are doing less of his clothes laundry now that we've moved on from spitting up and blow outs. We have 20 CD (1 in the diaper bag) and are able to do CD laundry every three days. We still use disposables at night.ReplyDelete
We used disposables until I got over my fear at 6 months. We haven't looked back, but we did have to place an additional order since I was trying to get by with 13 diapers and we also just didn't have enough drying time. We ordered our diapers at a great deal through cottonbabies 7 BG 4.0 diapers shipped for $87. So it is a substantial savings over disposables. For us the best thing is not ever running out of diapers. I hated having to go to target to get diapers. The only thing I miss about disposables is the scent of a FRESH pampers! I'm sure it's a laden with chemical smell but even if cloth were to cost more in the long run because of the water bill, it is worth it for the better fitting diaper.
Now we do CD laundry at night so that the diapers have all night to dry. We never run short and are totally fine. We probably go through 6-7 a day.

It isn't something anyone likes, but it is something we will all have to do at some point: driving in the rain. No matter where you live, rainwater on the roads makes your commute just a little more difficult and you have to pay more attention. That isn't all that you need to do – you should also know some of the tips and tricks of driving safely in the rain.
Tips About Your Car
Half of the battle for driving in the rain is keep your car in tip top shape. You have to make sure that you have everything you need for a great drive.
Tires are Critical. Ensure that you have the best tires you possibly can on your car and make sure that you have plenty of tread depth. A decent amount of tread will keep your car on the road's surface, especially when water starts to accumulate. If you live somewhere with a lot of rainfall, there are special tires that you can purchase. Every few months, perform the penny test on your tires. At the same time, check tire pressure so that your wheels can perform at their best. If you know you are getting a lot of rain during a particular week, check your pressure and fill up before it gets to be too bad.
Wiper Blades Help You See. Make sure that your wiper blades are working properly. Wiper blades need to clear your windshield from water and any debris that falls. Check to see that the blades don't leave streaks and that you have enough fluid in your cars. Replacing wiper blades is an easy task and can save your life.
Lights Help Your See. Lights are one of the best tools you have on your side during a rainstorm. In many states, it is a law that you have your lights on, so you might as well have the best of the best lights. Not only do lights help you see, but lights can help other people see you at the same time.
Specialized Rain Products. There are plenty of products on the market today that can help you in a pinch. Put polish on the windshield and use other products when it is appropriate. Treatments usually don't last all that long, so you want to do it as close to the worst of the storm as possible.
Driving Tips In the Rain
When driving in the rain, you have to remember all of the best practices that you needed to learn way back when. Not only is it polite, but it can keep you safe.
Wear Your Seatbelt. Even if you are a good driver and you follow the rules, not everyone is going to be as good of a driver as you are. Make sure that all of your children are properly restrained and even keep your pets.
Don't Be Afraid to Pull Over. Is it too much for you? Does your car feel strange or like it isn't in control? Pull over in a safe space and wait out the storm. Take the time to clean out the inside of your car or just people watch.
Obey the Speed Limit. Believe it or not, speed limits are actually extremely thought out and planned. You need to obey them, or go even slower, when it is raining so that you have enough to react to anything that may come your way. Remember that some roads are slicker than others and if it is cold, bridges will freeze before the roads themselves do.
Distance, Distance, Distance. On top of keeping your speed down, you need to keep your distance. You will not slow down and come to a stop as quickly as you do on a dry road because of the friction. While you should stay slow, make sure the people all around you don't catch up to you.
Focus on the Road. Look at the road in front of you and be sure to look a few cars ahead of what you would typically look at when driving.
The most important tip for driving in the rain? Keep your wits about you and a calm down. It might seem like it will be forever until you get home, it is better that you get there in one piece.

What makes a hit country song? Sometimes songs are recorded by multiple artists before they find their way onto the country chart. It takes the right song, the right singer and the right time to spin country gold. From honky tonk tearjerkers to dance floor favorites, here are six country songs that got a second chance to become a hit.
6. "Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her"
Original artist: Keith Whitley
Artist that made it famous: George Strait
Songwriting legend Dean Dillon is famously tied to George Strait. He's written over 50 hits for the country superstar. But Dillon is an established recording artist himself and in 1980 he released his song "Nobody in His Right Mind Would've Left Her." Dillon's version reached No. 25 on the Billboard charts. But he knew the song had another life in it.
Keith Whitley recorded the song for his 1985 debut album, L.A. to Miami, but never released it as a single. The following year, Strait released the country classic as a single and took it to No. 1.
This wasn't the only time Whitley recorded a song that would go on to be a huge hit for another artist. Whitley also recorded "On the Other Hand," which became a No. 1 hit for Randy Travis. It's great to hear some of country music's greatest voices singing the same song.
5. "One Woman Man"
Original artist: Johnny Horton
Artist who made it famous: George Jones
"One Woman Man," written by Johnny Horton and Tillman Franks, was recorded by Horton in 1956, reaching No. 7 on the country charts. But 28 years after Horton's tragic death, the song had a second run as a single by George Jones.
Legend has it that shortly after Horton's death, Franks heard the song blast through the CB radio in his car. He took it as a message from Horton from beyond the grave. Jones' version of the song went to No. 5 in 1988.
4. "Safe in the Arms of Love"
Original artist: Wild Choir
Artist that made it famous: Martina McBride
"Safe in the Arms of Love" had a second, third and fourth chance at becoming a country hit. The song was originally recorded in 1986 by the band Wild Choir, fronted by Gail Davies. The band's release never made it onto the country charts. Three years later, it was recorded by Bailey and the Boys. In 1994, Canadian country singer Michelle Wright released the song as a single. Shortly after, the song made its way to Martina McBride, who took it to No. 4 in 1995.
3. "Goodbye Earl"
Original artist: Songs of the Desert
Artists that made it famous: Dixie Chicks
"Goodbye Earl" is one of the Dixie Chicks signature songs but they weren't the first group to record one of country's most famous songs about vigilante justice. Written by Dennis Linde, the song originally went to the group Sons of the Desert in the late 90s. But the album was never released. The Dixie Chicks recorded the song for their smash hit album Fly in 1999 and Earl was finally laid to rest.
2. "Friends in Low Places"
Original recording: Mark Chesnutt
Artist that made it famous: Garth Brooks
"Friends in Low Places" is so synonymous with Garth Brooks it sounds strange to hear it recorded by anyone else. But back before Garth Brooks was a household name and selling out stadiums, he was just a guy trying to make it in Nashville.
Songwriters Dewayne Blackwell and Earl Bud Lee asked Brooks to sing the demo for the song. When Garth was gearing up to record No Fences he approached Blackwell and Lee about recording the song. Although country newcomer Mark Chesnutt had already recorded the song for his album Too Cold At Home, the songwriters were more than happy to hand the song over to Brooks.
Though "Friends in Low Places" effectively got another chance to shine, the song was always destined to be Garth's hit. Brooks released the song as a single in 1990 and the rest is country music history.
1. "Boot Scootin' Boogie"
Original artist: Asleep At the Wheel
Artist that made it famous: Brooks and Dunn
It's considered one of the standout songs of '90s country, but "Boot Scootin' Boogie" was originally a very different country song.
The song was originally recorded the band Asleep at the Wheel. And true to its name, it was a boogie. While the Brooks and Dunn version set off a line dancing craze across the U.S., Asleep at the Wheel had folks doing the two-step and western swing.
Both versions are irresistible country fun that taught us just what happens "out in the country past the city limit sign."

When my portraits appeared in the Apple Stores as part of their Start Something New campaign, I never expected it to lead to this.
I have been contacted by many people, from around the world, who say that they resemble my self portrait in the collection.
Here are a select few who have been find enough to share their (handsome) faces with me.
If you look like the portrait, or know anyone who does, you can join the cult gang by using the #doppelroz hashtag on Twitter and Instagram.
I'm very proud to announce that I have been working with Apple on their Start Something New campaign to promote artistic creativity using their devices. There is a full gallery of work produced on the Apple website and at their stores world-wide. I was commissioned to paint a series of portraits using the new iPad Air 2 and my app of choice, Procreate.
The portraits are of interesting characters I met at the University of Chichester, where I've recently completed a Masters, but also features the now obligatory self portrait.
The paintings will be featured in hundreds of Apple Stores world-wide, but if you're in the UK, you can see them at the following locations:
I am making 25 copies of my latest painting, The Green Lady (2014) available to purchase for £100 each. They will be printed on high quality photographic paper, (approximately A3 size), each personally signed and numbered. The Green Lady was painted on the iPad Air 2 using Procreate app and the SensuBrush.

Two of my paintings have been selected to exhibit at the Paint by Pixels show at the Loft Gallery in Narrowsburg, New York.
"Paint By Pixels," a group exhibit of digital paintings made on iPads and other tablets opens with a reception on Friday, August 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center's Alliance Gallery in Narrowsburg, NY. The exhibit will be on view through September 6, 2014. This is exhibit is sponsored in part by Epson and ArtRage.
"We decided to have an iPad show, mainly, because it is a fun, immediate, and thoroughly democratic medium," says Tom Bosket, the co-curator with Alexis Siroc of the "Paint by Pixels" exhibit.
Illustrators, artists, and graphic designers have started painting, drawing, and sketching without the need for art supplies, paper, and an easel. Several powerful painting and drawing apps—such as SketchBook Pro, ArtRage, Procreate 2, and Brushes—allow artists to create visual art on their tablets. Tablets also allow artists to "get messy" without any real mess, which is especially appealing to artists who are on the go.
The two portraits, Emma by mobile light (2013) and Palmer (2014) were both painted on a Microsoft Surface Pro using the free Windows8 Fresh Paint app.
I have two pieces showing in the Otter Gallery in Chichester, in the IMMINENT exhibition running from 16th May to 20th June, 2014. The exhibition is to demonstrate work in progress of the current cohort of Masters students at the University of Chichester.
Doors open 10am-6pm weekdays and 11am-5pm weekends.
There will be an artist Q&A on Wednesday 28th May, from 2-4pm, where you will be invited to discuss the work with the artists themselves.
It's a great honour to be featured in German's premium design magazine, PAGE. The June 2014 issue includes work by artist s working on a variety of tablet computers, such as iPad and Surface. Other artists to be included were Benjamin Rabe, Coal Father, Nikolai Lockertsen and Paul Vera-Broadbent.
More information can be seen here.
I have a double spread in January's issue of MacUser magazine, talking about my iPad art. The article, in the "Do try this at home" section, discusses how I got involved with the Mobile Digital Art movement and where I think Apple needs focus for the future.
MacUser can be found in your local newsagents or downloaded from the Newstand App or from Zinio.
On the 10th December, I presented a 1 hour lecture on the Mobile Digital Art movement, to A-Level students at the London Institute of Education. Since the event, I have had some very positive feedback from the participating students. They have been busy creating on their SmartPhones and Tablets and have shared pieces on Twitter and Instagram using #rozhall.

The New York Mets began their current winning streak by bailing out Bartolo Colon with a big offensive night.
As Colon looks for a more effective outing, the visiting Mets will try to maintain their steady offensive production and their dominance over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
Colon (10-11, 4.90 ERA) has been plagued by inconsistency while going 1-4 with a 6.08 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. He's alternated poor and solid efforts during that stretch and might be in good shape to continue that trend after he yielded seven runs and three homers in 3 2-3 innings of Friday's 14-9 win at Colorado.
More from FoxSports
Beginning with that victory, New York (69-56) has scored 55 runs, clubbed 15 homers and batted .355 during a five-game winning streak. Colon was hit on the hand with a pitch in that contest, but stayed in the game and does not seem to have any lingering issues.
"It did affect me a little bit but it's not an excuse," the right-hander told MLB's official website. "It had nothing to do with my performance. I'm glad the team picked me up."
Colon has posted a 5.25 ERA but is 2-0 this season against the Phillies (50-76), who are 1-10 during the season series and will try to avoid losing eight straight to the Mets in one year for the first time.
It's uncertain if Philadelphia's frustration boiled over Tuesday when the benches emptied in the seventh after Mets reliever Hansel Robles threw a pitch to Darin Ruf before the Phillies batter was ready. The incident was settled and no punches were thrown.
New York, which is 6-1 on a nine-game trip, hasn't won six straight on the road since a seven-game run in June 2010.
Michael Cuddyer hit a go-ahead two-run, pinch-hit single in the sixth and Yoenis Cespedes belted a two-run homer as the Mets won for the 17th time in their last 23 games, 6-5 on Tuesday. Cespedes has seven homers and 20 RBIs in 22 games since joining the Mets.
New York gets its first crack at Jerad Eickhoff, who allowed five hits and struck out five in six scoreless innings of Friday's 7-1 victory at Miami in his major league debut. The right-hander was part of last month's trade that sent Cole Hamels to Texas.
"So far it's a real good trade. He came as advertised," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "He told us and we were told that he likes to pound the strike zone with all of his pitches and he showed that he's able to do that."
Eickhoff also delivered a two-run single to add to his special night.
"It's surreal," he said. "You grow up dreaming about this and words can't describe. It's just unbelievable."
Freddy Galvis is batting .375 with five RBIs in the last six contests and .357 against New York this season. He's 3 for 6 with a double while facing Colon.
Ryan Howard has homered in each of the first two games of this set, but is batting .211 with a pair of home runs against Colon.

Customer Reviews

What You'll Get
Before golf was invented, grassy pastures were viewed as the exclusive territory of roaming sheep, herds of cattle, and overzealous Civil War reenactors. Celebrate turf's competitive utility with today's Groupon: for $35, you get 18 holes of golf for two with a cart at Stonebridge Golf Club in Maryville (up to a $70 value). This Groupon is only valid Monday–Friday and after 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
Stonebridge Golf Club challenges and entertains beginners and old pros alike with its picturesque rolling hills, changes in elevation, and tree-lined fairways. Before embarking on their 18-hole journey, players may practice on the expansive practice and chipping greens to perfect their wedgework, putts, and celebratory shimmies. Meticulously manicured bent-grass tees serve as launch pads for sky-bound balls, and verdant bermuda grass clings to the fairways. The par 72 course ensures golfers have a chance to employ every club in their arsenal, from the pitching wedge to the 3-wood to the rarely used Gatling driver. A golf cart helps players zoom from hole to hole with motorized grace and efficiency, rather than wasting precious minutes saddling, mounting, and cajoling surly bactrian golf camels. Although food and equipment are not covered by today's Groupon, Stonebridge is also home to a pro shop and Putter's Bar and Grill, making it easy for golfers and their bags to stay well-fed.
Stonebridge Golf Club offers varying rates throughout the week, twilight rates after 2 p.m. on the weekends, and reduced off-season rates; plan ahead to make sure you're redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.

The Action Group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has risen in stout defence of the former Interim Chairman of the ruling party, Chief Bisi Akande, saying his recent utterances on the crisis bedeviling the party at the National Assembly were those of a sincere leader.
The group, through a statement by its spokesperson, Segun Dipe, said the ramrod qualities of Akande qualify him to see when things are skewed towards failure and was right to have called the people involved to order.
"Here is the man who steered the ship of our party through the turbulent waters from conception to birth. He did so with sincerity of purpose and great sacrifice that even President Muhammadu Buhari, a man of few words, not given to praise-singing, confessed that he respected Akande's patriotism while acknowledging how he led the interim party 'with dexterity and integrity."
The party Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, also admitted that he saw in Akande trustworthiness and sincerity. Is it such a person that would now wish the smooth-sailing ship of the party should capsize?"
APC-AG recalled how Akande had journeyed with former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, through thick and thin from the dark and lonely days of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) to the Action Congress (AC) and then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before arriving at the APC, saying such a person knows what true loyalty and discipline are and should be taken serious when preaching them.
Akande had been criticised for his recent utterances with which he cautioned some party members, whom he accused of trading the party's birthright and dining with the enemy with a bid to get choice positions.
Specifically, he mentioned some northern elites and the PDP members within the APC as those rocking the party boat with indiscipline and disloyalty.
But the APC Action Group said the former interim chairman was on point and had only reiterated what was already in the public domain. Perhaps it is making more meaning to them now that it is coming from a person of Akande's flawless character.

The report claims the tentatively named iPhone SE 2 will be assembled exclusively by Taiwanese manufacturer Wistron at its factory in Bengaluru, India, where some assembly of the current iPhone SE occurs. The rumored release date window lines up with an earlier report from Focus Taiwan claiming a new iPhone SE will ship in the first quarter of 2018, which encompasses January through March of next year. Apple introduced the current iPhone SE at a media event on March 21, 2016, and the device launched later that month. Given the rumored launch dates, the iPhone SE 2 could certainly be unveiled in March too. Indian website Tekz24previously reported that the next-generation iPhone SE will be powered by Apple's A10 Fusion chip, with 2GB of RAM, 32GB and 128GB storage capacities, a 12-megapixel rear camera, a five-megapixel front camera, and a slightly larger 1,700 mAh battery. Tekz24 isn't a website we're familiar with, and it doesn't have an established track record of reporting on Apple rumors, so don't place too much faith in those tech specs until if and when they are confirmed by other sources. The current iPhone SE looks much like the iPhone 5s, including its smaller four-inch display preferred by a subset of customers. The device is powered by Apple's A9 chip, like the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, and it has 2GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel rear camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Touch ID. Apple hasn't entirely refreshed the iPhone SE since it launched, but it did double the available storage capacities to 64GB and 128GB in March. It also dropped the device's starting price to $349 a few months ago.

How? How did I end up here?
Neck deep in my sorrows, drowning in empty tears.
Mind battered with lies and deceit.
How did I not notice for so long?
Why did I continue on this path to self destruction?
You. You with the sharp cheek bones and sunken eyes.
You, with the bony fingers pointed at my body and pale lips kept in a tight smirk.
You, caused me pain instead of happiness.
Broke my spirits down to pebbles.
My thoughts and behaviors no longer ensured my safety.
When I was weak, I was weak because of you.
There was no strength hidden in your words,
My bones were achy, constantly twisting, testing how small I could warp my body.
All I wanted was to disappear but you, you made me stand out.
My body was a battlefield.
I tore my skin and poured sadness onto paper.
Journals filled with the dark tales of how I managed to hold myself together,
as I fell apart almost simultaneously.
You pit my anxiety and depression against each other.
Made the world seem too heavy most days.
Filled my lungs with concrete.
Held me under.
You kept my secrets, buried as deep as the earths core.
I sold my mind to the devil, when all I wanted was to find my soul.
And so my soul aches, ebbing and flowing with sadness.
Thoughts flood the dams, my mind no longer a vault.
You sucked breath from my lungs and nourished yourself with my tears.
Liquid calories are okay anyway.
You stole glances in any reflective surface and absentmindedly touched
Finger to thumb, finger to thumb.
wrists dainty and magical.
You were a death trap.
Masking failure and pain with the promises of accomplishment and happiness.
You weakened my body.
No longer a warrior in your eyes.
I was too weak. To fight you. To please you.
A pain I could not silence.
You awaited my courage and then struck with grief.
Reminded me that my self worth compared to that of a tiny speck of dust.
I was already dead on the inside and you smiled.
You followed me into dressing rooms.
Disappointment filled my ears, wisps of hair grew brittle.
Waiting rooms held secrets.
Shaking and crying, screaming and shame.
Subtle glances or pitied looks.
Darkness always loomed overhead.
Outside, sun shone lightly.
Waistband held room against skin.
Too much leeway, too much space.
Not enough space.
A disappearing act, I knew too well.
A prized possession I would never hold.
Thumb and finger, too much room.
But room was good. Room meant growth.
Room meant recovery.

1. Auaria's aim is, above all, to advance civilization, by any means necessary. Nothing is more important than Civilizational Advancement not Equalism, not capitalism, NO -isms are ever more important. This is the First and most Fundamentally Important Principles of Auaria.
2. Auaria is a land, society or group of Immigrants. No one is born in Auaria. Those who are born have to go through the same immigration process when they turn 14 as everyone else.
2. Auarian Principles will not be amended ever, any Auarian that tries to do this should be expelled, if an Auarian society does this, they are no longer Auarian.
3. Voting rights have to be earned in Auaria, a vote is weighted from 1 to 10, 10 being given to the individuals with the highest contribution and ability, 1 to individuals who demonstrate ability accepted as extraordinary by Mayhaan Standard. This right is re-evaluated every year. Auarians getting any sort of aid from Auaria where their contributions are less than their consumptions will have no voting rights or have their voting rights rescinded. No more than 10% of the population may be made out of non-voters and every 2 years, tees 10% should be expelled. Auaria's aim is to be a society of people who are universally able to earn the right to vote.
4. The Reproductively more valuable but Civilizationally less valuable gender will not be allowed to vote or influence decisions in any Auarian society.
5. Evolutionary Psychology, Hypergamy, Social Dynamics will be taught to the Reproductively less valuable but the Civilizationally more valuable gender. The knowledge will not be restricted to those who seek it from other genders as well.
6. Finance, Geography, World History and German, French, Italian and English will be compulsory knowledge for all Auarians,
7. Auarians must always be prepared to recognize the follies they make in an idea, a plan or an undertaking and have the mental, psychological and emotional willpower to accept, improve and start from scratch.
8. Auarians have to demonstrate their emotional, mental,physical and psychological Auarian identity every year on the 30 of the first month. Any Auarian who have a personality change on any of these categories will have their Auarian identity revoked and expelled, they may reapply.
9. Every Auarian has to find his own name, an Auairan is born when they choose their own destiny by choosing their own name. If an Auarian wishes to retain their old name, they must justify the reasons based on Principles.

10. The currency of Auaria will be set according to the amount of Gold present on planet Earth, and similar precious metals in similar concentration in other cases.
11. The unit of the currency will be " ? ", this will be the only unit of currency, Auaria will never follow any cent, dime, euro/dollar etc. model. The prices of basic foodstuff will always be in the low single digits, if they ever rise above it, a correction will be initiated. Inflation will not be tolerated, the quantity of gold in the dart's crust is constant so how can the value of it change over time.
12. To go to war, wealth will not be an issue, Auarians will go to war and contribute to the things needed due to their duty towards Auaria.
13. Every Man will have 4 Square Kilometres of Land for himself. There will be no community living structures and the maximum occupancy of any 4 Square Kilometres of land will be 10 Human Beings. If a man has wealth and wishes more property, he should buy it outside of Auaria.

Pre. X. Auarians take their Life lessons from the writings of Mayhaan, which will be available Publicly to all forever. Other wise men and their writings are also encouraged if they help an Auarian better understand and contribute to the Primary Purpose of Auaria without conflicting with The Auarian Principles.
x. Anyone who wishes to be a part of Auaria must be in full agreement with ALL these principles. Those who are not, would do well to search out the truth in each of these principles and appeal when they understand and accept the nature of The Auarian Principles.

You say you want a Revolution, is a large, complex exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, covering the 1960s. There is a terrific book accompanying this ambitious and important show (available in the library at UWE). Having lived through the period it occasionally felt strange to see it presented in a show, as though such a show could really reflect the reality of peoples lives. Costume played a secondary role in this show, posters, publications, film and music featured strongly, as did politics.
The use of music in this show is more marked than is usual at the V & A; most of the music is available through the web of course; some tracks stood out, especially Country Joe and the Fish.
Overall the show avoids nostalgia and tries to explore to some extent the feelings many young people experienced during the period. I would have liked to have asked some of the many school children present what they thought and felt about the show.
Picasso Portraits, at The National Portrait Gallery. Billed as a major show and quite expensive (£17.50) I admit I was expecting more. And why does this gallery take money from the 'capitalist vampire squid', Goldman Sachs?
But overall I was not disappointed, mainly because I like Picasso's work and am old enough to remember when he was widely denigrated. There were a number of tiny ink sketches I found quite revealing. It is ironic to see the art critics from the Daily Telegraph et al drooling over a man they largely despised when he was alive.
Bob Dylan, The Beaten Path, at the Halcyon Gallery. This large, free exhibition had more than 60 paintings – mainly large water colours -and as many sketches, most of which had been sold. Prices were modest by west London art standards, paintings sold for around £3350. Dylan's art is about as popular with the critics as Jack Vettriano or the late Beryl Cook, and seemingly just as popular with the public as the latter two. I enjoyed the work, which was mostly American landscapes, mainly urban scenes, and I certainly felt inspired to try a similar style.
Dylan finds something meaningful in otherwise unremarkable scenes, I wish I could have bought a painting. (And afterwards one might pop into Jimmy Choo's next door and blow the change from £4k on a pair of shoes.)
20th Century Modern British Sculpture and Drawings, at Brown & Derby, Cork St.
Quite a range of work in this small, free gallery, including Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Anthony Caro and Barbara Hepworth. The gallery changes it's display monthly and it is always worth a visit.

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Ellen Goodman to Keynote at Hebrew College Gala: Celebrating Women's Leadership and Philanthropy
Newton Centre, MA —March 2016. Hebrew College will celebrate the impact of Jewish women's leadership at its annual gala, Celebrate 2016: Honoring Women's Leadership and Philanthropy, on March 22, 2016 at Gann Academy in Waltham.
In the story of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim, the personal becomes political for the celebrated heroines in the Book of Esther. Queen Vashti refuses the king's summons to be paraded about in front of his drunken court of men and is banished for her subversive act. Queen Esther evolves from a reluctant messenger into a savvy heroine who outmaneuvers the male leadership and ensures the survival of the Jewish People. Each woman reflects a different style of leadership, but in each case she steps out of her traditionally defined role and raises her voice against the status quo.
In this spirit, who better to exemplify women breaking down barriers than Gala keynote speaker, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ellen Goodman, one of the first to open up the op-ed pages to women's voices? Goodman began her career as a researcher for Newsweek at a time when only men wrote for the newsweekly. She shattered the mold of male exclusivity when she became a syndicated columnist, writing about politics, at The Boston Globe in 1976.
In her talk, "Leaning In, and Up," Goodman will reflect on the challenges and successes women leaders have faced in the ensuing years and the role of women in the political sphere. As Goodman explained in a recent interview, "Women in politics is a huge part of the leadership question. Women have advanced much further in other careers than in politics. Fifty percent of medical school and law school students are women; compare that with Congress at only twenty percent women. Politics is where public policy takes place. What kind of society do we want to be? Women need to be involved in that discussion."
The evening will honor four outstanding women—Geraldine Acuña-Sunshine, Winnie Sandler Grinspoon, Sari Anne Rapkin, and Betty Ann Greenbaum Miller, who passed away in August 2015—for their leadership and philanthropy at Hebrew College, in the Greater Boston Jewish community, and beyond.
Hebrew College, founded in 1921, promotes excellence in Jewish learning and leadership within a pluralistic environment of open inquiry, intellectual rigor, personal engagement and spiritual creativity. Its programs include a Rabbinical School, a School of Jewish Music, a School of Jewish Education, and graduate degrees and courses in Jewish studies; community education for adult learners; and a supplemental Hebrew high school and middle school.

Invasive Species Management
They're out there. The problem of invasive plants is as close as your own backyard.
Maybe a favorite dogwood tree is struggling in the clutches of an Oriental bittersweet vine. Clawlike canes of multiflora rose are scratching at the side of your house. That handsome burning bush you planted few years ago has become a whole clump in practically no time … but what happened to the azalea that used to grow right next to it? If you think controlling or managing invasive plants on your property is a daunting task, you're not alone. Though this topic is getting lots of attention from federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as the media, the basic question for most homeowners is simply, "How do I get rid of the invasive plants in my own landscape?" Fortunately, the best place to begin to tackle this complex issue is in our own backyards and on local conservation lands, and Michael Bellantoni can help. Preventing or reducing undesirable impacts of non-native invasive plants is a difficult challenge facing all land owners and managers. Non-native invasive plants impact landscapes across the U.S. through changes in the structure, composition, and successional pathways of native plant communities.
Three broad categories cover most invasive plant control: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical control means physically removing plants from the environment through cutting or pulling. Chemical control uses herbicides to kill plants and inhibit re-growth. Techniques and chemicals used will vary depending on the species. Biological controls use plant diseases or insect predators, typically from the targeted species' home range. Several techniques may be effective in controlling a single species, but there is usually one preferred method—the one that is most resource efficient with minimal impact on non-target species and the environment.

Your Aug. 20 editorial endorsed the provision of funding for mandatory testing and treatment of STDs for state prisoners nearing release. There are several problems associated with this recommendation.
An HIV test is not inexpensive, especially when multiplied by the numbers of inmates. Is Florida prepared to do the testing -- and retesting, given the varied "window" in which tests results are reliable -- necessary to assure knowledge of HIV status? And this is just the test for one STD. The $2 million pricetag given would likely be on the low side.
You state, "That's a lot of money, but still a small price to pay for a program that would help slow the spread of diseases, including AIDS, once prisoners are on the outside." But testing does not slow the spread of disease -- behavior change does. And testing alone seldom leads to behavioral change, especially change that will stand the test of returning to life on the outside.
The issue also arises: If an inmate tests positive for HIV, does the state stand ready to provide the medications and support?
Mandatory testing? Probably not the wisest use of taxpayer dollars. Education, discussion groups, skills building, provision of condoms as individuals exit -- these are strategies that make far more sense and are certainly more cost-effective.
You state that "A sick but undetected inmate is a carrier of a life-threatening disease and, once released, poses a danger to society." Indeed, HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis and any number of diseases are exacerbated by close communal living such as prisons. However, anyone, not just an inmate, must be aware of those actions that put them at risk for the contraction of HIV or other diseases, for if we are not, we are all a danger to society.
State lawmakers can do a better job of protecting Florida's communities by enacting legislation that would pay for medical screenings and, when appropriate, treat any inmate who is detained in a state prison. But make that testing on demand and treatment as indicated, followed by the counseling and individual care plans that follow the individual into the community.

Tasty Cake Trends 2014
This year there are LOADS of new trends hitting the bakery world. We've done our research on them and brought you in our top 10 tasty cake trends 2014. Look out for these yummy treats when you're doing your shopping or checking out the dessert menu in a restaurant. You might even come up with your own spin on these trends if you like to bake!
1. Layering
Layer cakes were huge a few years ago, but now layering is back with a bang. The most popular design this year will be 'ombre' colour which means the layers are gradual colour from light to dark. This is an obsession in the fashion world just now, from clothing to hair and will become just as popular in the food industry. As well as cakes, this idea has spread to macarons, biscuits, cheesecakes and even rice crispy treats!
2. Return to Tradition
According to The Fabulous Baker Brothers, Masterchef finalist Stacie Stewart and master chocolatier Paul A Young, one of the biggest trends this year will be a return to traditional British baking. They all agree that a lot of bakers will re-launch 'retro' regional foods such as the Chelsea bun and Devonshire Split.
3. Flavoured Puff Pastry
Puff pastry will be big this year, with John Whaite (winner of last year's Great British Bake Off) saying that he has noticed an increase in the use of puff pastry that has been flavoured before use- "pastry that has been layered with herbs or spices, or even cocoa!"
4. Doughnuts
Doughnuts have always been popular, but they've become increasingly sought after in the UK in recent years. After last year's crazes like cronuts and duffins, it seems this year the 'in' thing will be a plain old doughnut. Their popularity is obvious with everyone going crazy for 'Krispy Kreme', who just last year opened their first Scottish store. They can now be bought in over 350 Tesco stores too!
5. 'Homemade' Marshmallows
In the last few years, marshmallows have had a makeover. They're nothing like the pink and white ones we all grew up with-they're now a gourmet food. With flavours ranging from caramel shortcake to tablet to chocolate and peppermint, gourmet marshmallows were one of 2013's biggest crazes. They are still going to be hugely popular this year, with more and more available to buy.
6. Domed cakes/desserts
This year, one of the relatively new trends in the baking world is domed cakes and desserts. Many people love this idea because it's that little bit different. From little treats you can buy from the supermarket to tiered wedding cakes, many people will be choosing the dome because, next to a regular round or square cake, it stands out! For those of you wanting to try this yourself, all you need to do it buy a specialist domed pan, which you can get in most baking stores or online.
7. Savoury Icing
One of the biggest crazes this year is savoury icing. This is exactly what it says on the tin, icing flavoured with savoury foods as opposed to sweet. Instead of using regular flavourings like chocolate, many bakers and chefs will be trying out new flavours including smoked BBQ, beets, bacon and even beer!
8. Tea in Baking
All you tea lovers out there, this one is for you! Many bakers have said that 2014 will be the year tea and cake merge. Whilst it's been tried out a little, adding tea to either the cake mixture or icing, this year's big hit will be the tea fruit loaf. Keep your eyes peeled in supermarkets and coffee shops.
9. Jelly
This may seem a strange one but it will be huge this year! 'Jellymongers' Bompas & Parr, based in London, have started a jelly revival, using it to create edible landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. 'Fancy' jelly is also being included on more and more restaurant menus, as well as in supermarkets, usually layered with fruit or panna cotta.
10. Savoury Chocolate
Continuing on with the idea of savoury instead of sweet, this year more and more chocolates with have flavours including chilli, bacon, cheese and even marmite! I don't know about you, but I think I'll stick to good old fashioned chocolate!
Have you also seen our cake push pops which are our latest product…..perfect for wedding favours and kids party cake.

Lake District bosses have got the view from the top – of England's third highest mountain.
The national park authority's chief executive and deputy chairman took a hike up Helvellyn with fell-top assessor Craig Palmer to see for themselves how the vital weather information is gathered.
Fell-top assessor Craig Palmer
And the Cumbrian weather didn't disappoint: they met winds gusting to 52mph (84kph) and a fell covered in snow and ice. Former commando Craig Palmer took chief executive Richard Leafe and deputy chairman Vicky Darrall to the summit for a view of his work. The pair are no strangers to the hills – Mr Leafe is a keen mountaineer and Ms Darrall is a fellrunner.
The ex-serviceman shares fell-top weather assessment with former hotel manager Jon Bennett. The Weatherline supplies winter condition reports from Helvellyn's 950m summit from December to Easter. This winter, assessors warned that the corrie below the mountain's summit had become dangerously prone to avalanche.
Mr Leafe said he believed more people were venturing on to the fells without realising they might encounter the type of severe conditions he experienced on the day. He said: "I suspect milder temperatures in the valleys are tempting more people on to the hills. They are often unprepared for the conditions they may find and unaware weather patterns can shift very quickly."
His visit confirmed the need for an accurate weather report so hillwalkers and mountaineers know the type of conditions they are likely to meet on the summits.
"It underlined for me the vital role fell top assessors play in contributing to people's safety. We saw first-hand the nature of summit conditions and how unpredictable they can be.
"Naturally, safety is paramount. I want to encourage responsible winter walking and highlight the fragility of these high places, particularly in respect of climate change."
Ms Darrall echoed the chief executive's views. She said: "The awe-inspiring nature of the fells and the real need to respect them, and their dangers, was very apparent.
"Talking to expert, experienced staff who know and love these landscapes, was really inspirational.
"As an authority, we have some responsibility to guide people by outlining the dangers, as well as the opportunities, high level walking brings."
The authority representatives also expressed concern about the effects of climate change on the fells. Mr Leafe said: "As frost declines, bracken will move higher up the slopes. The last refuges of high arctic alpine plants are also becoming smaller as temperatures rise."
The Lake District Weatherline has been in operation for 33 years. As well as reporting fell-top conditions during the winter, the service provides forecasts for the Cumbrian fells throughout the year. It can also be accessed by ringing 08700 550575.

For-profit colleges are the best, says this study by a center created by a for-profit college.
With the practices of many for-profits coming under fire in recent months from Congress, the Department of Education and the news media, the report says those attacks threaten "to destroy what the data suggest is the most active, efficient, and efficacious part of that sector of American higher education dedicated to teaching."
The Nexus Research and Policy Center was created by the for-profit University of Phoenix, which said it was launching the center in 2008 "to drive continued significant and innovative research initiatives in teaching and learning among adult students in higher education."
But this, the first report from the center, is not so much a study as a piece of advocacy from an industry that feels misunderstood and unfairly attacked. The report cites "resentment against for-profits" for such reasons as "the belief that it is unethical/unjust for for-profit institutions to make a profit while public institutions are starved for funds."
Among the report's conclusions: For-profits cost less for taxpayers than do public colleges, government support for higher education is skewed toward affluent students who attend elite universities, and "meeting President Obama's goal of having the largest percentage of college graduates in the world by 2020 is not possible without the for-profit colleges and universities."
The report criticizes regulations recently proposed by the U.S. Department of Education to tighten controls on for-profits.
The report was released with the phrase "Least Cost and Most Efficient System" in its title, prompting Youth Today to ask Nexus President Jorge Klor de Alva if the title should read "Least Costly" in order to be grammatically correct. He initially wrote back that "it should be 'Costly' but for phonetic reasons we chose the title it has." He later wrote, "We have decided to change the 'cost' to 'costly.' "

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is to give an interview Thursday to Al-Manar, the television channel of Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah which has militiamen fighting alongside government forces inside Syria, his office said.
The interview would be broadcast simultaneously on Syria's official television channels at 9:00 pm (1800 GMT) on Thursday, the presidency announced on its Facebook page.
Iran-backed Hezbollah, a close ally of Assad, sent almost 1,700 fighters to the central Syrian town of Qusayr more than a week ago to support the regime's assault on the rebel stronghold.
Initially Hezbollah said it wanted only to defend 13 Syrian villages along the border where Lebanese Shiites live, and the Sayyeda Zeinab shrine near Damascus, which is revered by Shiites around the world.
However, its fighters later encircled Qusayr with regime troops before the launch of a withering assault on the strategic border town that is home to 25,000 people.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has promised his fighters will help deliver "victory" in the battle for Qusayr, seen as a potential game-changer in Syria's drawn out civil war in which more than 94,000 people have died.
Syrian rebel chief Salim Idriss warned on Tuesday that if Hezbollah fighters do not stop their aggression in Syria within 24 hours, "we will take all measures to hunt" them, "even in hell."

The Stage has had a go (on Mark Shelton's blog, mind you) at tired audiences who fall asleep during performances ‒ particularly shows "in the round" where theatregoers can see one another.
The paper's anger is particularly directed at "one senior newspaper critic" in the front row at last week's opening night of The Enchantment at the National Theatre in London.
The critic could be seen "resting his eyes on a number of occasions".
The Stage does not identify the critic other than saying he resembles Mr Burns from The Simpsons.
Answers in the comments, please.

Vikas Patil started work with the TATA organization in 1975 at the age of 18. Almost immediately, he was seen to be an environmentalist with some good initiatives suggested and promoted at Telco. Pune. He was involved in improving the quality and production rate of Tata vehicles and maintaining a healthy and safe environment on the shop floor.
Vikas Patil's enthusiasm and passion to work for the society and community was apparent even then. He was inspired by Tata's Ex Chairman late Mr Sumant Mulgaonkar and Mrs Lilatai Mulgaonkar, Mr Rawal, Mr. Jakatdar, Mr Maira, Mr VD Merhunkar and other senior officers at the Tata Organization to start social work. He formed Community centers, hobby centers including a photography club and assisted in the standardization of the Telco Grihini unit and Vidya Niketan (Telco employee's school). Vikas Patil was also responsible for commencing evening classes for Telco Staff to polish their management skills. Products made by Vikas Patil in the Hobby Club specifically the Rolling lamp' and 'Mugal lamp' are exhibited at the Raja Kelkar Museum, Pune.
Vikas Patil's overwhelming interest in conserving the environment hurled him into the next level. He started to look into river pollution, awareness about pollution, solid waste disposal, tree planting and other environment conservation activities from the year 2002. He formed a 14 member team to study causes of river pollution and ways to control it. An NGO, Indrayani Bachav Kruti Samitee was formed in 2003. This NGO had many experts, members and participating schools. However, since the NGO was not registered, even though good work was done in cleaning the river, no funding was available. People became aware and desired that other rivers were cleaned too. New groups called River Development Forum ( Nadi Vikas Manch), Pawana Development Committee and Mula Conservation committee were formed in the respective areas so people could actively participate in cleaning the rivers close to where they lived.
At present, Vikas Patil is the Chairman of the Environment Conservation Association (ECA) registered in 2011 with the Charities Commissioner, Pune. ECA consists of likeminded members committed to conserve the environment. Each member has expertise in various fields and are contributing effectively to the conservation programs through ECA.

This fall you can decorate your front porch and become the envy of the neighborhood! With just a little patience and a little practice you can learn how to paint a pumpkin that will stand out among the normal carved jack-o-lanterns! Holiday pumpkin painting can be more than a halloween idea. Since there is no need to carve out the pumpkin, it can be repainted for a Thanksgiving theme and make a nice addition to all of your holiday crafts.
Halloween pumpkins have long been a favorite for young and old alike. I remember spending hour after hour, scooping seeds and pulp from the pumpkin and then carefully carving scary facial features on my planned masterpiece. The problem was, I always seemed to slip up and ruin the whole pumpkin! The result was a big mess and no jack-o-lantern.
When our grandchildren were around 3 years old we made a trip to a local pumpkin patch looking for some new halloween ideas. We found just what we wanted in a display of bright and fancy painted pumpkins! Faces of every imaginable contortion were there and the pumpkins were still intact! No carving! No mess! We looked at the price tags and guess what? No way! I could not believe what they were asking for even the smallest gourds that had been painted in an autumn decor. I jokingly told my wife I had missed my calling. I should have been a pumpkin painter!
Much to my horror she took me at my word and hustled off to some hardware store and brought home some paint and some brushes and a couple of pumpkins and said, "Get started!" I first went to the library and was disappointed to find that there is very little information or instruction on the topic of pumpkin painting.
I went online and found one little ebook that not only was full of patterns and ideas, it had full instructions of exactly what type of paint to use. After reading through the little book I had my first li'l punkin complete in about an hour. Once I had enough to make a nice display on the front porch I proudly retired to my recliner for a little relaxing tv. Within 30 minutes the front doorbell was ringing with strangers who had driven by the house, noticed the painted pumpkins and were asking how much I would charge to paint them a couple of the little darlings.
My holiday pumpkin painting has become a very profitable hobby for me. From mid September through late November the requests are hard to keep up with. Maybe I was wrong. I don't think I missed my calling at all!
Want to learn how to paint a pumpkin? Why not be the envy of your neighborhood with some great holiday artwork for decorations? Check out [http://www.usfreeads.com/957907-cls.html]Holiday Pumpkin Painting and get started today!

Properties for sale in Sóller
History of Sóller
The focus of the town is the Plaça Constitució which is surrounded by cafés and has plane trees and a fountain in its centre. The tram passes through the Plaça on its way to and from the main station which has been restored to incorporate a museum of Picasso and Joan Miró. The church of Sant Bartomeu (Saint Bartholomew) facing the east side of the Plaça is flanked by the ajuntament (town hall) and the Banco de Sóller, a remarkable 1912Modernista building with defining ironwork, by the Catalanarchitect Joan Rubió i Bellver, a follower of Antoni Gaudí. The bank's organisation was founded in 1889 with the money of emigrants who returned prosperous to Sóller. On the other hand, the church can clearly be seen standing out from the canopy of the town from other parts of the Vall de Sóller (the surrounding valley). The original building dates from some time before 1236. The current main interior structure is now largely baroque (1688–1733).

About Sóller and surrounding area…
The campanar (belltower) blends in well with its neo-gothic design. The remarkable façade is a 1904 construction, also by Joan Rubió. The old street plan is of Islamic origin and lined with historic houses of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The town has a covered market and is bisected by a fast flowing river with a number of bridges. Sóller is also notable for the houses built in the early twentieth century by emigrants who returned wealthy to the town, particularly those on the Gran Via which reflect the fin de siècle Art Nouveau styles of France.

Hi Weight gain happens either due to addition of extra calories or due to failure to spend calories consumed...these extra calories deposited in our body as fat..for weight reduction you have to consume less calories and spend more...avoid junk foods,carbohydrates like rice etc,avoid oily foods...add proteins and fibre rich foods to your diet with green tea,green leafy vegetables, fruits...do regular exercise at least 2 hours a day...Ask yourself these questions about any diet plan you're considering: Does it include various foods from the major food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy products, lean protein sources and nuts? Does it include foods you like and that you would enjoy eating for a lifetime — not just for several weeks or months? Can you easily find these foods in your local grocery store? Will you be able to eat your favorite foods, or better yet, all foods? Does it fit your lifestyle and budget? Does it include proper amounts of nutrients and calories to help you lose weight safely and effectively?Is regular physical activity part of the plan? If the answer to any of these questions is no, keep looking. There a re better diet plans out there for you. Consult dietitian fallow the diet chart strictly...you can see the beneficial effects within a month..

Representing parties in a divorce often also includes certain criminal law cases. Domestic assault is one example. For years Missouri had four levels of felony crime, A, B, C and D, and four levels of misdemeanor crime, A, B, C and D. Beginning January 1, 2017, Missouri introduces a new domestic assault law and with it Missouri also introduces the CLASS E FELONY!
Third Degree Domestic Assault seems to me the most applicable to the level of conflict in a substantial number of divorces. With Missouri's new 2017 code, the former Class A Misdemeanor law with 300+ words is replaced by a Class E Felony law with a mere 50 words. Gone are legal terms of art such as "reckless," "criminal negligence," apprehension of immediate physical injury," "grave risk" and so on.
The new law is vague and lacks objectivity (i.e.- it's subjective). Third Degree Domestic Assault formerly required a physical injury by a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument, fear of immediate physical injury, serious isolation, grave risk of death or serious physical injury or offensive contact. The new law only requires an attempt to cause physical injury or knowingly causing physical pain. Plus, this law wipes out years of case law which explained the law and put it in context with other law and societal norms.
It doesn't take much to violate this law! In legal terms, Third Degree Domestic Assault is to some extent an inchoate crime. That means it is preliminary to another crime or a crime of anticipation, like attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy. You don't believe me? Read the text of the law for yourself:
My Mother, a Felon? What was my first thought when I read this new law? I was raised by felons! My dear mother was five feet tall and 95 pounds soaking wet. She is a Saint in my book, but when I needed it she spanked me, pinched my ear when I needed to be "led" somewhere, and so on. In short, Mom caused me pain and I am better for it. This new law brings new consequences to the corporal punishment by parents, a lovers' spat, family arguments at the softball game, football or soccer practice, etc. ("No pain, no gain.")
A Felony for What was a Misdemeanor. That brings up the second BIG change: IT IS A CLASS E FELONY! There are all kinds of things that felons can't do. Here is a short, but not comprehensive, list:
Parental Custody and Visitation. A felony for domestic assault is a red flag for any family law judge. Fathers have a hard enough time getting equal custody and visitation. This Class E felony will make equal visitation unattainable, and for what? Consider also that certain "counselors" teach women to fire the opening salvo in a divorce. Just "get him to hit you," and the rest of the divorce will fall in place.
Concealed Carry. In 1934 the federal government passed a law banning any person convicted of a violent felony from owning a gun. Missouri's Third Degree Domestic Assault has violence woven into its name, even though the wording of the law is vague and liberal, it is now a felony! Forget your right to carry. You can't own a gun unless you get your crime expunged. In Missouri, the expungement statute wiped out all prior case law and judicial discretion. If you were convicted or pled guilty, forget expungement in Missouri.
Employment. "Have you ever been convicted of or in the past pleaded guilty to a felony?" That question is allowed on employment applications. Answer it honestly and you won't get hired. Fail to answer it honestly and, when it comes time to downsize, the employer will fire you after years of employment "for cause" citing your application. No unemployment compensation for you.
Voting Rights. Felons face various restrictions on voting. Some restrictions are just annoying. Others ban felons in varying degrees.
Public Social Benefits. Public Housing, food stamps, and some other public social benefits are, in some states, restricted.
If you have a family law problem, whether or not you have been served papers, I will be happy to sit with you in a complimentary consultation. Within 20-30 minutes you'll know what you can do for yourself and what you would be better off having an experienced attorney handle.

Whatever You Do. . . .
This is one of this week's memory texts for the Online Bible Study group I am participating in. As soon as I read it, I knew how I wanted to keep this present in my thoughts and actions for the week--I would tape a copy of it up over my desk at work! That would be the perfect way to remind myself that my work is not about me and my expectations, but about my patients and their expectations; it's about being Jesus in their lives.
Perhaps this would be a good time to explain that I am a nurse in the OB/Gyn field. I work in a busy physician's practice with seven Doctors, five Nurse-Midwives, a Nurse Practitioner, and a Physician's Asst. There are about 10 other nurses, 15 lab personnel, and 30 or so business office staff. Other than five of the Doctors and one guy in the business office, it is a LARGE group of women. We know each others husbands, boyfriends, kids, and parents--and, of course, we know each others problems. We have cried at funerals together, shopped together, wrapped Christmas gifts together, and we eat together every day. It's a pretty cool experience, to be honest, and I wouldn't trade my "sisters" for anything. It's a high pressure job, though! You might think that OB nursing is all smiles and babies and hugs and flowers--and some days it is. On other days, it's the saddest job on the planet. Menopause is not much fun. Some patients don't appreciate our advice. How do you tell someone that they have cancer? Not every pregnancy has a happy ending.
Now, where was I. . . .
I printed the text and took it to work on Monday, but I forgot to put it up until nearly the end of the day. I read it over as I closed the cabinet over my desk and smiled. "This is going to be so inspirational tomorrow!", I thought, "I'm gonna get in here and throw myself into this list of phone calls to make and plow through every one of them!"
I left the office with a smile on my face and a sense of satisfaction and anticipation of all that God and I would get done the next day.
I walked in Tuesday morning and read my text. Yep--that sense of excitement was still there--for about five minutes. The Assistant Head Nurse walked up and said the words no nurse wants to hear, "Meghan is not coming in today, she's out with a sick child. Your Doctor is on-call, so you will have to cover OB Call (her job) today." GREAT! OB CALL!! Truthfully, this is my least favorite part of my job. OB Call consists of fielding all of the phone calls from our OB patients about anything they have a question about or a problem with. This can range from "I can't stop throwing up!" to "Why does my back hurt?" and the dreaded "I haven't felt my baby move all day."
As I contemplated what my day might hold, and how I wouldn't be getting any of the stuff done that I had planned on working on, all the anticipation and excitement about "working for the Lord" just drained right out of me. My smile turned upside down and a big old grumpy heart starting forming. I turned to Susan, who was at the desk, and started venting my irritation at the whole frustrating situation and even pointed to the scripture above my desk! She smiled at me and pointed out the obvious--that I had presented the old Devil with a challenge, and he didn't plan on letting me experience victory in this situation. He was trying to trigger my "bossy gene" and it was up to me to put the situation back in God's hands. Thanks goodness Susan was there! My attitude did an about-face as I prayed hard over the situation. My day was just as expected; full of stress, no lunch and so many phone calls, but it was also filled with the blessing of hearing patients tell me how much they appreciated my advice or my reassurance. When I read that text again at the end of the day, it had a clearer meaning for me. It's not about me, it's about Him.
The work I had planned on doing didn't get done Tuesday, but the work God had planned for me did.

Sandi I love your post and love your heart. I find sometimes we are all in that position. I have great plans to do something at home and the nursing home calls and mom has pneumonia, or my mother in law calls and needs something or there's a funeral or something. Life is that way and I remember words Melissa Taylor taught us "Jesus in Me" and now I have this verse. I know to do it, I know to give Him the glory, I know to do it unto Him - but like you that bossy gene (Satan) gets involved. I'm really learning to do better and go with the flow and now I am learning even better to let it go. Debbie Williams (OBS Leader)ReplyDelete
The minute we lean into God, the devil starts pulling out his "bag of tricks." I loved how you use that "bossy gene" and turned it on him!ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you SO MUCH for participating in the blog hop. Praying for all of us as we learn to stop trying to control and start trusting God. Have a great weekend and remember to LET. IT. GO. :-)

Amazing! Thank you for sharing and putting it in a real life perspective. You brought tears to my eyes right at the end when you said, "The work I had planned on doing didn't get done Tuesday, but the work God had planned for me did." You are so right. We need to realize that God places us where HE needs us, not where we want to be. Thank you again for sharing and welcome to the Let it Go journey!ReplyDelete

Mystery surrounds death of surfer
MYSTERY surrounds the death of a surfer who was found floating face down at Bilinga.
Coolangatta and Tweed Heads police had yesterday not formally identified the man, described as being in his late 30s, of Caucasian appearance, solid build, with short blond hair.
Tweed Heads Police Inspector Greg Jago said they were appealing for public assistance to identify the man as no personal belongings were found on the beach.
On Sunday about 4.30pm, a woman walking along the beach north of the Bilinga Surf Life Saving Club found the man, who was still attached to his 10 foot six longboard, chief lifeguard Warren Young said.
He said the woman waded out to rescue the man and, assisted by other beachgoers, pulled him out of the surf.
"One of our guys was on his way back from a shift at the Currumbin Alley and he was called to it," Mr Young said.
The lifeguard performed CPR on the man until paramedics arrived.
Paramedics continued to work on the man as he was taken to The Tweed Hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Although the man was found in Queensland, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads police are investigating as the man was pronounced dead in New South Wales.
The man was wearing a black Rip Curl rash shirt and brown board shorts.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
