I retired in September 1998 with over 30 years service including the ERI (Early Retirement Incentive). My service in higher education began in January 1971 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY). After 16 years at John Jay College, my former boss gave an opportunity to me at SUNY College of Optometry. It seems the school needed someone to implement financial internal controls and respond to a myriad of Audit reports. I took the challenge. I think some clarification is needed as to my job function, during most my career in higher education I was generally assigned to improve business functions and in many cases develop new ones, SUNY was no exception. SUNY State College of Optometry being the smallest SUNY unit demanded every one to wear a few different hats. Eventually I picked up the telecommunications function at Optometry. I enjoyed telecom work so much so that I enrolled in LaGuardia Community College and received a certificate in telecommunications in 1997. At Optometry, some of my non-financial projects were the first initial internet network, SUNY card implementation for the school and the first IVR (interactive voice response unit).
In June of 1998, an early retirement incentive was offered to the entire school. Even though I was only 54 years and 4 months old, I was able to retire with a small penalty, which was mitigated by my accrued annual leave. Circumstances had changed in my life one being my children had just finished their schooling and secondly, I was anxious to use my new training as a telecommunications person. I did stay on at Optometry working one day a week providing consulting to the new person until the beginning of 1999. In 1999 I began working for a consulting firm which was doing telecommunications business with various agencies. In 2006, I took the early social security option and stopped working full-time.
I have been and currently am a professional delegate from Optometry to UUP (United University Professions) but only since my retirement from SUNY. I was elected Regional representative for the NY Metro Area to COARM (Committee of Active Retired Members) area for 2 terms. Currently, I serve on two UUP committees, one being Retiree Legislation Action Group (RELAG), the other Veterans Affairs Committee and currently I am also a member of a work group studying the prevalence of elder abuse. I serve as a delegate to New York State Teachers Union (NYSUT) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in addition to representing UUP at these affiliate organizations my goal is to be involved in matters pertaining to retiree benefits to prevent any erosion of such.
The new joy of my life recently has been taking care of my grandson Nico, who is 3years old, two days per week.
During the Christmas season I have volunteered at the Salvation Army Corps (Manhattan)distributing toys and will soon start working in the lunch program one day a week.
Some people have asked me what you do with your time since retirement, to which I reply I am so busy now that I sometimes wonder how I had any time to work a job before retirement. My advice to pre-retirees is give some thought to what you would like to do with your life after you do retire, be relatively sure you can financially - keep busy, stay involved in meaningful activities, volunteer by helping others is one way, helping financially is another way.

Grundfos offers advanced water management and treatment solutions across all industries and building types. Katrina Zlobich, business development manager: Water Treatment, describes just a few of the firm's leading offerings.
What sites has Grundfos equipped with water management products and solutions?
KZ: There are too many to mention but I believe that Grundfos' solutions are working all around us without us even realising it. In Mall of Africa, for example, our pumps provide perfect water pressure to the mall's customers; if you work at FNB or Standard bank, Grundfos pumps are working to provide the optimal internal climate; if you drive past the new Sasol Headquarters, our pumps installed there use between 20% to 50% less energy. In gyms, wellness centres and spas, our pumps create hygienic pumping solutions. Our customers enjoy the flexibility of our products, the user-friendliness and accessibility of our top-of-the-range technology and the cost-effectiveness at the end.
What water management solutions does Grundfos offer for commercial, industrial and municipal buildings?
KZ: Looking into commercial buildings like hotels, hospitals, office towers and airports, they each have vastly different requirements. Grundfos offers a complete range of water pumping solutions that ensure optimal comfort and safety in any application while providing cutting-edge, energy-efficient technology.
Below, I outline some of our solution offerings. First, we provide constant water pressure for buildings. Our range of booster systems assures constant pressure regardless of flow inconsistency and fluctuations. Water demand is uneven and depends on the number of taps opened at the same time. Looking at a hotel, for example, the number of people staying at a hotel at a certain time has an influence on the amount of water the hotel will use. When selecting a system, the main thing to look at is the minimum and maximum flow rate required at a certain amount of pressure. Grundfos' advanced systems (Hydro MPC) MPC systems can communicate via BMS, SCADA or any other communication protocol, which will allow the user to monitor and control the booster. This makes performance monitoring and system settings optimisation accessible from anywhere in the world.
Second, Grundfos designs and delivers fire systems ranging from simple pump-driver systems to highly innovative engineered and packaged systems in compliance with almost all the relevant fire standards. Buildings should be equipped with fire systems according to legislation. Different fire hazards determine whether the water supplies for sprinkler installations should run off single or multiple pumps.
Third, as part of our Lifelink project, Grundfos offers its AQPure products, which can treat up to 2 m3/h of water. The process uses ultrafiltration technology and optional modules can be added to match clients' specific water treatment requirements. These can include ultraviolet light and activated carbon. Solar package options can also be supplied with the system. It has a wide application range, from commercial building services, for rainwater treatment to potable water supply, to water supply for rural areas. The solution is mainly used in this latter environment, especially where there is no access to taps or a power supply. Patented, self-adaptive control software reacts to seasonal changes and maximises service intervals. Additionally, AQPure can be connected to a remote management system, which allows for easy system monitoring.
Fourth, chlorine dioxide (ClO2) systems are widely used in building services for hot- and cold-water circuits for hospitals, health centres, spas and other applications that require disinfection. Grundfos develops and manufactures water disinfection and dosing pump solutions for all types of commercial buildings. We are experts in water disinfection, anti-scaling, -fouling and -corrosion for domestic water systems, air-conditioning systems, boiler and heating systems. We use the term 'SMART' when referring to our dosing range, which is short for: high-accuracy, reliable and safe dosing pumping.
Our SMART digital pumps use advanced stepper motor technology; they control flow measurement while also being user-friendly. Chemical dosing poses many challenges, but the SMART digital range has been designed to solve these challenges in order to reach performance targets. Our SMART solutions provide maximum uptime with minimal operating costs. Equally important is the range's safe operation, a vital consideration when dealing with hazardous chemicals.
Looking at rainwater harvesting, how effective have you found it to be for extending clients' water supply and what factors or internal differentiators optimise the process?
KZ: The main challenge with rainwater in our country is the fact that it's seasonal. During dry seasons, rainwater collection is minimal, posing an enormous problem when it comes to collecting and storing rainwater throughout the year. It's still a viable option and definitely results in savings, but unfortunately we in South Africa will never be able to use rainwater as our only source of water supply.
That's why process optimisation is key to successful rainwater harvesting. Installing pumps with variable-speed drive technology, i-solutions or solar functionality can significantly reduce energy consumption used on dual- or multisource systems. Additionally, control and monitoring helps with process optimisation, saving on chemicals and the various treatment options that make the water supply from such systems compliant with the relevant legal specifications.
You also provide general water treatment solutions. What technologies do you supply and why are these recommended?
KZ: Mainly, Grundfos supplies products that complement our customers' water treatment solutions (pumps, dosing, disinfection, control and monitoring devices). Our solutions are suitable for conventional water treatment and ultrafiltration, such as lower-pressure centrifugal pumps, for example, and reverse osmosis and desalination, which require high- pressure centrifugal multistage pumps as well. Depending on water quality, we can accommodate high-salinity water (corrosive water) using different materials.
Monitoring, control and dosing products help our customers to achieve accuracy in chemical dosing. Our SMART digital dosing pumps are now available on a large scale, and we are launching the SMART XL dosing pump (up to 200 ℓ/h) in May 2017. Our control and monitoring device (DID), which can measure up to three different water parameters on a single controller, can be fitted with different sensors depending on process and customer requirements. Parameters might include free and total chlorine, conductivity, pH, ClO2, oxidation reduction potential, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid).
One of the most important processes for potable water is disinfection. Without efficient water disinfection in commercial hot water systems, cooling towers, spas and swimming pools, Legionella and other dangerous bacteria can lead to fatalities or extreme illness. Grundfos uses a number of different chemicals in its disinfection systems, including chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite. The correct chemical to use is determined by various factors, such as: water quality, size of installation, logistics for chemical delivery and, of course, capital and operation funds availability.

Washington took Game 1 of this series Thursday night 5-2, sending hapless Philly to its fifth loss in a row. Do we predict more misery for the Phillies Friday night?
Phillies-Nats Game 1 Review
Washington won Thursday night's series opener 5-2, getting a quality start from Doug Fister and home runs from Michael Taylor and Yunel Escobar.
Meanwhile, Philly starter Cole Hamels gave up five runs in six innings, walking four and getting nicked for those two homers. On the season Hamels has now allowed seven home runs through 18 innings of work.
The Nats won Thursday as -135 favorites on the MLB odds, and the game, to our dismay, sneaked OVER its total of 6.5 runs. That OVER was helped by a Taylor error that led to one Phillies run, and a Hamels balk that led to a Washington tally.
The Nats scored a total of 17 runs through their first seven games this season; now, they've scored 22 runs over their last three games.
Philly, on the other hand, ranks dead last in the Majors in scoring so far at a pathetic 2.4 runs per game.
Here's another look at tonight's Phillies vs. Nationals game
Game 2 Betting Odds
The line on tonight's game is the biggest we've seen so far this season. As of early Friday morning the best price we could find on Washington with Max Scherzer was the -237 offered at Pinnacle, while Philly and Sean O'Sullivan were getting +222 at Heritage.
Pinnacle was also offering the Nationals at +101 giving the run and a half on the run line.
And most of Friday's MLB betting market was listing the total on this game at seven runs.
Friday's Starters
This pitching match-up is a rematch of last Sunday, a 4-3 Washington extra-innings victory.
Scherzer will be making his third start for his new team; back on Opening Day he held the Mets to three unearned runs through 7 2/3 innings, walking two while whiffing eight, although the Nats lost that game 3-1. He then held these Phillies to one run through six innings, with two walks and eight strikeouts, of that 4-3 Washington victory last Sunday.
Last year, pitching for Detroit, Scherzer went 21-for-33 on quality starts; the Tigers went 24-9 in those starts, with the totals leaning toward the UNDERS by an 18-15 margin.
O'Sullivan will be making his second start of this season, after holding these Nationals to two runs on five hits through six innings of that 4-3 Phillies loss last Sunday. O'Sullivan threw 91 pitches in that game, 58 for strikes, and walked just one batter, while striking out five.
Last year, pitching at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, O'Sullivan went 6-10 with a 4.31 ERA, giving up 154 hits in 148 innings, posting an unimpressive K/BB ratio of 94/50. In bits and pieces of six ML seasons O'Sullivan is 10-17 with a 5.84 ERA, and a K/BB ratio of 115/90.
This will be O'Sullivan's first-ever start against Washington.
Phillies-Nats Game 2 Pick
This looks like a mismatch, and the odds makers agree. There's just no way we can recommend an MLB pick on a single baseball game at a price like that. But we are catching the Washington bats at a good time, so we'll take a chance and go with the home team on the run line for tonight.
Free MLB Pick: Washington -1.5, +101 on the run line at Pinnacle

Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her
womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and
said, 'Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at

A retractable fountain pen?
A couple of months ago I saw a photo on instagram of somebody's collection of fountain pens. One of these pens looked a bit unusual. It didn't have a lid. But it did have a clip. I was curious, had a look around the internet, and discovered that there was such a thing as a retractable fountain pen. What kind of witchcraft was this?
I read a few reviews, and they were pretty positive. And showed me that there were actually a couple of options - the Vanishing Point and the Decmimo. A bit more thinking, and with a birthday coming up I asked for a medium nibbed Decimo - it's a bit thinner than the Vanishing Point and I wanted a pen I could put into a pen loop. Oh, and I asked for some of the gorgeous looking Pilot ink too.
My birthday arrived, and both of these things were mine. Just take a moment to look at how beautiful that bottle of ink is. I've had expensive perfumes that have been in less attractive bottles than that!
I've had my Decimo for a little over a month now. I have it clipped on to the notebook I carry around with me all the time. And I love it. I was a little concerned about how the clip would work being at the writing end of the pen. But I've found it gives my writing stability. Especially when coupled with the alternative penhold that I learned of in the Improve your handwriting book. One of the reviews I read mentioned that the nib had some give and was a bit more flexible than some. This is true. And I don't mind it at all. I've used my Grandad's Parker 51 as my main pen for the past 5 years, but it finally has a rival for my affection. And I love the ink as well. A great birthday present. Thanks Richard!

Deutsche Telekom believes that mobile data traffic will provide the richest opportunities for revenue growth. Another ambition is to expand its footprint in the TV business in Europe and become the pay-TV market leader in Germany.
In a press conference in Bonn, the carrier confirmed its financial guidance for 2010 and laid out a longer term strategy to restructure its business and drive up revenue from growth areas through investments in intelligent networks and its portfolio of IT, Internet and network services.
Deutsche Telekom expects the revenue mix to have shifted markedly by 2015, with higher revenues being generated in the new growth areas. To pursue these opportunities, Deutsche Telekom plans to invest around EUR 10 billion between 2010 and 2012 in fiber optics, new mobile communications technologies, and IT processes. Investments are also considered for other European countries.
While continuing to defend its traditional access business in fixed and mobile in Germany, Deutsche Telekom will focus on the following five strategic growth areas:
- Mobile Internet: mobile data traffic is expected to increase revenue from just under EUR 4 billion in 2009 to around EUR 6 billion in 2012 and approximately EUR 10 billion in 2015.
- Deutsche Telekom plans to expand its own Internet offerings -- such as the Scout24 family, Musicload, Videoload, Softwareload and Gamesload -- and increase revenues from EUR 0.8 billion to between EUR 2 and 3 billion by 2015.
- Connected home: consumers should enjoy universal, secure access to content and services across all screens. Revenues in this area -- including broadband access -- are expected to increase from EUR 5 billion to around EUR 7 billion in 2015.
- T-Systems is planning to lift its external revenue by EUR 2 billion to around EUR 8 billion and believes that this will be achieved in particular with dynamic services and cloud computing.
- Deutsche Telekom anticipates long-term revenue opportunities in intelligent network services for industries such as energy, healthcare, media and automotive.
- Such services include third-party applications that will be facilitated by Deutsche Telekom's networks and services, such as medical care over smartphones or vehicle telemetry. Other applications are intelligent electricity meters for consumers that display up-to-the-minute consumption data at all times and allow prompt consumption management and energy feed-in. According to forecasts (Smart 2020), state-of-the-art ICT solutions will enable substantial reductions in CO emissions. Deutsche Telekom aims to generate total revenue of around EUR 1 billion in this area by 2015.
"The industry is changing and we are transforming Deutsche Telekom," said CEO René Obermann. "Two things are important: a high-margin core business and the courage to focus on promising growth areas. Nowadays, promising strategies must have more than one focus."http://www.telekom.de

PYONGYANG, North Korea – North Korea, after following the travails of South Korean President Park Geun-hye with unconcealed joy, got off to a slow start Saturday in reacting to her actual impeachment.
Pyongyang residents told of the news, however, were quick to judge.
First word of Friday's vote in Seoul to remove Park from office didn't come until Saturday afternoon from the North's state-run news agency, which reported it in a terse and largely insult-free story.
Nothing about Park's impeachment by the South's National Assembly was carried by North Korea's ruling party daily, the Rodong Sinmun, on Saturday morning. Instead, an older story, headlined "Last Ditch Efforts of the Power Maniac," took up most of the top half of Page 5.
"Park Geun-hye had already been judged by the popular masses a long time ago," said 43-year-old Ri Sol Ok. "She was a zombie with no authority to do anything."
With official word still forthcoming from the media — and few other sources of information from which to make judgments of their own — Pyongyang residents told of the impeachment vote not surprisingly echoed criticisms that have been stepped up since the scandal that brought Park down emerged, but which have also been a staple in the media here throughout her tenure.
North Koreans are offered little information about the South through their media and Park has been treated with a rare level of venom, in part because her father, the late South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee, was a staunchly anti-communist president, and in part because of Park's own hard-line position toward Pyongyang.
"It's inevitable for her to be impeached," said Kim Hyang Gun, a 46-year-old woman. "I can't understand how such an ignorant woman got the presidency."

Friday 28 April, 2017
Supporting the technical requirements of customers of Australian wheat was the theme of AEGIC technical wheat seminars conducted in Tokyo and Seoul in April.
Presented in conjunction with Austrade, the Australian Embassies of Seoul and Tokyo, the Western Australian Trade and Investment Office and Australian plant breeding company Australian Grain Technologies (AGT), the seminars were an opportunity to communicate the quality advantages of Australian wheat directly to major Japanese and Korean flour millers.
At each seminar, AEGIC CEO Richard Simonaitis highlighted the importance of supporting the technical requirements of customers of Australian wheat. AEGIC Wheat Quality Technical Markets Manager Dr Larisa Cato outlined Australian wheat quality and functionality for the respective Japanese and Korean markets.
Australian Grain Technologies Head of Science and Business Development Dr Tristan Coram provided an update on the Australian grain industry's work in breeding high quality wheat varieties for the respective Japanese and Korean markets.
AEGIC CEO Richard Simonaitis said regular in-market engagement with wheat buyers and processors increased value for Australian growers by improving the understanding and use of Australian wheat.
"Both Japan and Korea have long been important and stable markets for Australian wheat, and AEGIC is committed to maintaining and improving the quality and value of exports to these countries," he said.
"Understanding market requirements as a whole, including future trends, is critical to understanding what opportunities exist for Australian wheat suppliers to increase market share beyond wheat for noodles."
Tokyo (19 April 2017)
The Tokyo seminar was attended by about 70 representatives of Japan's major flour milling companies. It was hosted by the Japanese Flour Millers Association (JFMA) and supported by the Japanese Government's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF).
MAFF Senior Deputy Director of Regional Affairs Hiroyuki Yamaguchi and JFMA Executive Director Masaaki Kadota opened the proceedings, acknowledging AEGIC's continued support to Japan's flour milling industry.
Austrade Consul/Assistant Trade Commissioner Raymond Roche outlined the importance of deepening the ties between the Australian grain industry and Japan.
Seoul (25 April 2017)
The Seoul seminar was hosted by the Korean Flour Milling Industry Association (KOFMIA) and was attended by about 20 representatives of Korean flour milling companies. Austrade Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner Amanda Hodges opened the proceedings, acknowledging AEGIC's role in the supporting use of Australian wheat in the Korean market.
AEGIC regularly conducts seminars and workshops in Asian markets to connect directly with buyers and processors of Australian wheat.
Earlier this month, AEGIC led a wheat industry mission to Taiwan. In February and March AEGIC conducted a series of technical baking and noodle workshops with millers in the Philippines and Indonesia.
Japan and Korea both value Australian wheat highly, mainly for the production of premium quality noodles.
Australia, in particular Western Australia, has a long history of breeding and supplying high quality noodle wheat to Japan and Korea. Consistent quality and stable supply of Australian noodle wheat is of high importance to these markets.
AEGIC is committed to securing the future of this industry and will continue to work towards strengthening this relationship.
AEGIC is also committed to understanding what opportunities may exist for the Australian industry to increase market share in Japan and Korea beyond noodles.
FACTS: Australia's noodle wheat industry
- ANW varieties have been specifically developed for udon noodle production in Japan and Korea. Collectively these countries annually purchase about 1.6mmt of noodle wheat blend (ANW and APW).
- Australian noodle wheat is preferred for the production of premium udon noodles due to its excellent starch quality (high swelling properties), bright flour colour and excellent colour stability, medium dough strength, and medium protein levels.
- In addition to wheat and flour quality testing, sensory testing is also an important means of evaluating wheat varieties for classification into ANW.
- Ideal udon noodle should have a unique balance of softness and firmness, often described as 'soft noodle with slight surface firmness' combined with good elasticity and stickiness.
- Colour is also important. Favourable traits include good colour and colour stability, with superior udon noodles being described as having a 'bright, creamy, slightly yellow colour'.

Is there any way to specify which instance is used by URL when apache is connected to a CF10 cluster? We have one instance that handles all our scheduled tasks, and we would like to make sure calls to localhost run on the same instance, not load balanced between the cluster members. We could create a F/S link (centos) to add the codebase to the CFIDE webroot, and then specify the administration port for the one instance, but I was hoping for a more simplified and elegant solution.
If I'm understanding you correctly....
You could edit your HOSTS file and map a URL specific to your scheduled tasks instance. For example, in your HOSTS file an entry like:
# Map scheduled tasks URL to Instance 1
192.0.0.1 schedtasks.serverinstance1.com
Where the IP address is the specific instance for your tasks and should bypass your load balancer.
Thanks for the reply, but I was referring to Application Server level load balancing, not the physical load balancer in front of the physical servers. Calling localhost effectively does what you propose, taking the physical LB out of the equation. I was looking for a way to isolate the specific instance when running CF with multiple instances configured in a CF cluster.

As a former teacher of students with special needs, I know how wonderful it is to find something for your classroom that helps your students focus. Through the TOS Crew, I was able to receive some products that do just that! If you are homeschooling a child who struggles in any area, you need to check out the company called Heads Up! This company sells many items that are designed to help special kids. Here is a quote from their website:
Heads Up! is a company designed to provide expert information and products for special needs children. Our items have been selected to accommodate various learning styles and strengths, regardless of curriculum used. These special needs products have been found to be especially helpful for children who are distractible or hyperactive.
Our goal is to provide materials and information for homeschooling families, occupational therapists, speech therapists, teachers, and specialists who work with children who have developmental delays, learning disabilities, or other special needs. Professionals, as well as parents and families interacting with special needs children, need materials and teaching tips that will be effective in promoting successful learning experiences while reducing frustration for children, teachers, and parents.
Some of the products I received are pictured above. These are all different colored "frames" that your child places on her reading material in order to highlight the text to be read. This keeps your child focused on the task at hand! We tried them all out, but the Heads Up! Top of the Line (pictured on the top right) was most helpful for Ella, especially when we were still using "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons". The pages in that book contain alot of extra text for the teacher to read (in red letters, no less) that can be very distracting to some children. Ella found those pages to be overwhelming. The Top of the Line strips are designed to block out anything under the text your child is reading and highlight the line of text to help your child keep her place. This tool was very helpful for Ella. Once we get back to reading longer pages again, we will definitely pull these back out! Heads Up! has many different colors and types of reading strips to choose from and they are listed on this page. The reading strips and frames are all priced at $1.00 each!! Such a great deal!
Please go to Heads Up! to find out more about their wonderful products. And, head on over to the TOS Crew blog for links to more reviews, HERE!

Happy Thursday, homies! Today is my Friday because I'm busting out of Georgia early tomorrow morning to fly to NYC for my pal Fritzle's bday. It's my first time in NYC as a vegan so I'm super stoked to get some awesome food experiences up north. Plus, the high for the weekend is like 75, so you know this sweaty beast is loving that. I know we won't have much time to visit all of the vegan joints that I want to go to (it is her bday and all, so she calls the shots) but I have no doubt that this weekend will be one for the books. Fritzles and I have a way of, well, going balls to the wall. But me old long time, so there's that. I tend to get angry if I'm up past 10:30 and I love an afternoon nap. I fear that coffee will be my best friend this weekend. But when in NYC, amiright? On to the list!
Since going vegan (and when I was majorly flirting like a 12-year-old) I have clung to certain blogs for their wealth of recipes, their ability to make me laugh, and their sense of comfort in this crazy new world. They have been like new friends (and in some cases, have actually become friends), sharing the love across the interwebs. I hope that these bloggers and sites become friends to you!
Oh, Cara. Let me let you all in on a little secret. Cara is the shiz nasty bomb squad. I emailed her on a whim once, with the thought of "She's WAY too busy being awesome, and writing a cook book, and just generally rocking at life to email me back. I will now hang my head in shame" running through my head. Cara emailed me back the exact same day, and our love of humor and all things awesome have created a great friendship via the interwebs. I have fried okra waiting for you in Georgia, Cara. And beer. Of course beer. Come visit anytime!
Angela also just published her first cook book like Cara and she is also super cool. Her recipes really helped me in my transition from flirt to vegan and I rely heavily on her blog for inspiration and recipes. Check her out!
Somehow, I have only recently just stumbled upon Kristy's blog, and it makes me oh so sad that I was crazy late to the party. But I'm never leaving now…she's hilarious, and makes ridiculous dishes that will have you drooling and wondering how you've lived without jackfruit for some long. She also has a cookbook and it's coming out soon. You can thank me later.
Richa is from India, and therefore many of her flavor roots are Eastern and delightful. As I love all Asian food, Richa has a direct line to my heart. She creates some CRAZY amazing recipes. You will not be sorry you found her!
Duuuuuudes. Dana is the brains behind the blog and the grub you see on the site. I still drool when I think of her vegan asparagus lemon pasta or her vegan Parmesan cheese. Mmmmmmmmmmm. Run, don't walk.
My go-to shop for fun vegan clothes, bags, and stickers. I hope to one day visit them in Portland and then lose my return plane ticket and just live there, but that's another story all together. If you sign up for their email list, they let you know what item is the sale item of the week.
Want to try some new vegan beauty products? Get their beauty box delivered to your door. Or if you want something delicious, they also offer a snack box. In fact, these days, they offer boxes of all kinds!
I have approximately 800 items in my shopping cart on this site, but the need to pay bills forbids me from buying EVERYTHING they offer. They rock!
This is one of the first places I ordered vegan goodies from because they make VEGAN MARSHMALLOWS like crazy people. Try the smores and the macaroons. You're welcome.
So delicious, so amazing. Goodies delivered to your door, homies. Get the Ruthless Mama, Mel's Way, and the Vanilla Bean Sea Salt Caramel. YES.

Water damage is a terrible thing to go through; however, it helps to know that Plumbers FL Services will be there quickly and efficiently when needed. Christian and Carlos make a great team.

Our last experience was with William who went above and beyond our expectations. His communication skills and advise were spot on. As well as just a really, really nice man!!!
A local General Contractor asked us to demo this condo for another water damage company. We removed all the drywall 4 ft high, all cabinetry (under cabinets was black sewage liquid the smell very strong!) all the interior doors and wood trim. We did not do any final cleaning or sanitation on this job.
Please contact us at 727-992-4921 for any water damage / flood / light deno in the greater Tampa Bay Area

South Africa's embattled President Jacob Zuma has resigned after intense pressure from his own party.
In a televised statement he said he was quitting with immediate effect but said he disagreed with his ANC party's decision.
The ANC had told him to step down or face a vote of no confidence in parliament.
The 75-year-old has been facing calls to give way to Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, the ANC's new leader.
Mr Zuma, who has been in power since 2009, faces numerous allegations of corruption.
Earlier on Wednesday, police swooped on the Johannesburg home of the powerful and wealthy Gupta family with whom Mr Zuma has close ties.
He began his speech by laughing and joking with members of the press, asking them why they looked so serious.
After paying tribute to those whom he had worked with over the years, Mr Zuma said that violence and division within the ANC had influenced his decision to step down.
"No life should be lost in my name and also the ANC should never be divided in my name. I have therefore come to the decision to resign as president of the republic with immediate effect," he said.
"Even though I disagree with the decision of the leadership of my organisation, I have always been a disciplined member of the ANC.
"As I leave I will continue to serve the people of South Africa as well as the ANC, the organisation I have served... all of my life."
Mr Zuma, a former member of the ANC's military wing in the days of apartheid, rose through the ranks of the party to become president. He led the country for more than a third of its time after apartheid.
But he leaves office with several scandals hanging over him, and with South Africa's economy in dire straits.
A meeting of the ANC's National Executive Committee had announced its decision to recall Mr Zuma on Tuesday and gave him until the end of Wednesday to resign.
ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu then announced a parliamentary motion of no-confidence for Thursday, with Mr Ramaphosa sworn in as president as soon as possible after that.
Mr Zuma's resignation capped a day of fast-moving events.
As deputy president, as well as ANC leader, Mr Ramaphosa is likely to step in.
But it is thought that he would not seek to remain as president, preferring to get his own mandate at next year's presidential elections.
The ANC, as the party in government, would then nominate a candidate to serve until then, and parliament would take a vote within 30 days.
Mr Ramaphosa was already the overwhelming favourite to win the 2019 election, one which Mr Zuma was barred from competing in, having served two terms, reports BBC.

What is TeslaCrypt ransomware and what can TeslaCrypt do to my pc? Is it dangerous?
Teslacrypt ransomware is type of malware that will encrypt victims files using AES encryption. Once infected with this virus it will demand a ransom of $500 USD in BitCoin or $1000 USD using the PayPal My Cash Cards. This is why beacause bitcoin transactions and payments cannot be traced, but paypal will put hackers into exposure risk.

Teslacrypt is created by most common schemers to use for targeting your money and personal information. It will limit your time of paying within three days. The slight difference between teslacrypt and other ransomware is that teslacrypt will provide you to decrypt one selected file for free of charge. With this act the creators of teslacrypt simply want to show you how things work. Do not be fooled by this lies. Do not pay the ransom. Paying the ransom you simply support the work of hackers and the more money thay get the stronger they will become. Warning: Further news shows that Teslacrypt is constantly updating and comes back in different forms.

Many suggest that you simply pay and hope that you will get all off your data back. However in this case you risk losing money and still being stuck with crypted files. We do not recommend this way simply because you will support the work of hackers and the more money thay get the stronger they will become.

The Grade 2 Louisville Breeders' Cup Handicap is the richest of the five undercard stakes, which also include two Grade 3's, the Crown Royal American Turf and the Aegon Turf Sprint, plus the ungraded Edgewood and Alysheba stakes. The last four of those each has a purse of $100,000.
Oonagh Maccool is one of the newest weapons in trainer Todd Pletcher's potent arsenal. The Irish-bred began her career by winning her first two starts on grass in Europe, but she's equally adept on dirt, having won a pair of races over Gulfstream Park's main track, including the Grade 2 Rampart in which she overcame a poor start to beat Sweet Symphony by 2 1/2 widening lengths.
Sweet Symphony figures to improve off her initial meeting with Oonagh Maccool in what was her first start since finishing ninth in the Breeders' Cup Distaff. Sweet Symphony began her career with four straight victories, including a 6 1/4-length win in the Grade 1 Alabama.
Sweet Symphony is one of three Grade 1 winners in the 1 1/16-mile Louisville, along with In the Gold and Leave Me Alone.
In the Gold beat Leave Me Alone to win the 2005 Gazelle but was outrun in three subsequent starts, including a fifth-place finish in the BC Distaff.
Leave Me Alone drew off to an easy win in the 2005 Test but has gone winless in her last five starts.
Completing the lineup are Grade 2 winner Capeside Lady, La Reason, Private Gift, and Gallant Secret.
Sacred Light tries turf
Sacred Light doesn't have enough graded earnings to get into the Kentucky Derby. So trainer David Hofmans will switch the Grade 2-placed colt to the turf to run in Friday's Grade 3 Crown Royal Turf.
Sacred Light, whose only victory came via a stewards disqualification, finished second behind Brother Derek in the Grade 2 Santa Catalina and fourth after a bad start in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. He has yet to race on grass.
The most accomplished turf runner in the Crown Royal is Go Between, winner of Gulfstream's Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes and a troubled second four weeks later in the Sophomore Turf at Tampa Bay Downs. His sternest test likely will come from the Pletcher-trained Tahoe Warrior.
Pletcher will also have one of the favorites, Magnificent Song, in the 1 1/16-mile Edgewood. She's in a field that includes Performing Diva, Beau Dare, Kitty Hawk, and Fiery Dancer.
Wild Desert, winner of the 2005 Queen's Plate at Woodbine, will be among the favorites in a wide-open Alysheba Stakes. Other key contenders include the Nick Zito-trained duo of Andromeda's Hero and Seek Gold, Gouldings Green, M B Sea, and Purim.
Atticus Kristy, Western Kind, The Nth Degree, and Mighty Beau are among the many potential win candidates in a well-matched field of 12 in the five-furlong Aegon Turf Sprint.

Raspberry and Serrano Sangria
1 small carton of raspberries
1 small carton of strawberries
1 lime
2 apples, granny smith and a braeburn
1 serrano pepper (more if you are daring)
1 bottle of Viognier
1/2 cup of white grape juice
1/4 cup of sugar
1 can of club soda
Mint leaves for garnish
How to:
Finely dice both the apples and the strawberries and then cut both the lime and the serrano pepper into fairly thick slices.
Layer all of the the different fruits in a tall pitcher, adding a dash of sugar in between every layer. For an interesting twist, you could use honey or agave instead of plain sugar.
After all of the fruit has been layered, add the sliced serrano chile and the remaining sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Add the Viognier to the fruit and sugar mixture.
Add the white grape fruit juice and top it all off with the club soda. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
Once the sangría has chilled, bust out your favorite wine glasses. I like a lot of fruit in mine so I am not bashful about digging around for more berries. Just keep an eye out on those sliced serranos. They have a pretty respectable
Garnish the drink with some fresh mint and serve.

The ChemCentre superheroes, who made their debut in 2013, returned once again to explore the chemistry used to protect the WA community.
As always we were delighted to have some of our industry partners return for 2014 with several agencies joining us for the first time. Racing and Wagering WA and Greyhounds as Pets were as popular as ever, teaming up with ChemCentre to explore the science behind the WA racing industry and bringing along some furry friends.
The WA Police, Department of Fire and Emergency Services and the Department of Health showcased the joint responses to chemical emergencies and clandestine drug laboratory activities. The teams provided a great insight into the science behind dangerous chemical situations and the different roles each agency plays.
Annual favourites like liquid nitrogen ice cream and fairy floss proved to be as popular as ever with visitors young (and not so young) enjoying some sugar-infused science.
Visitors under seven years old also enjoyed a new Little Heroes show, an addition to the Little Heroes activities built into the program last year. The audience explored everyday science and used their senses to investigate the world around them, where the large vapour filled bubbles were a definite highlight.
There were two other new additions to this year's program; Make Your Own Perfume and Crafty Chemistry. At Make Your Own Perfume visitors got the chance to use chemistry to make their own personalised perfume and discover the importance of odours in the work ChemCentre performs. Crafty Chemistry proved to be a big hit with pre-loved lab glassware going to sale to the public to be used for decorations and craft projects. All proceeds from Crafty Chemistry will be used to support secondary chemistry education in WA.
This year was by far the biggest yet, with crowd numbers doubling from 1500 in 2013 to 3000 this year. ChemCentre staff, volunteers and partners thoroughly enjoyed the day with visitors commenting on how much they enjoyed the passion and enthusiasm staff have for their work. We've included our favourite Open Day photos above but be sure to check out our Facebook page for all of the day's action shots!

By: Jason G. Schutte
The Illinois Supreme Court recently discussed the limitations of the Illinois Snow and Ice Removal Act in Murpy-Hylton v. Lieberman, et al. In Murphy, plaintiff sustained personal injuries after slipping while walking on the sidewalk outside her condominium.[i] Plaintiff's condominium was located at Klein Creek Condominium (herein Condo) in Carol Stream, Illinois. The Condo owned and controlled the common elements of the property.[ii] Condo retained the services of Lieberman Management Services, Inc., (herein Management) to manage the property.[iii]
A snowstorm occurred in February of 2011, which affected Carol Stream and resulted in 20 inches of snow accumulation. A snow removal and landscaping service hired by the Condo cleared snow and ice from the sidewalks of the condominium complex. Plaintiff's fall occurred on the morning of February 18, 2011, when she was walking on the sidewalk behind her building toward the adjacent parking lot. Her fall resulted in a fracture to her leg, knee, and hip.
She filed a negligence suit against defendants Management and Condo. Plaintiff asserted that her fall was caused by a defective condition and negligent maintenance of the premises which created an unnatural accumulation of ice.[v] More specifically, plaintiff asserted in her Fourth Amended Complaint, the defendants were negligent in the following actions/omissions:
Facts of Case
Plaintiff testified in her discovery deposition that that the weather on the date in question was cold (in the twenties) and sunny without precipitation. No precipitation had occurred since the last snowfall in early February. Plaintiff did not see any ice prior to falling but she did notice a patch of ice after she fell, approximately the size of a letter-sized piece of paper. Plaintiff believed that the ice that caused her fall resulted from water that had accumulated on either side of the sidewalk. She had observed that water would run off from the downspouts attached to either side of the building onto the grass. The water would collect on the sidewalk and freeze instead of draining onto the parking lot.[vii]
Several other witnesses were deposed regarding their observations of the condition of the premises where plaintiff fell. Roger McGowan, a neighbor, slipped and fell on ice in the same area of the sidewalk that same morning at about 6 a.m. He observed an issue of water collecting on the sidewalk that had been present since he moved to the complex in 2008. Roger believed that the sidewalks were lower than where the foundation of the building sat, and, lower than where the downspouts were positioned. Water would run away from the building and toward the sidewalk, where the water would collect after heavy rains. Also snow from areas close to the building would melt and then run toward the sidewalk. Once the weather got cold again the water would freeze up across the sidewalk.
Similarly, Michael Melson, plaintiff's brother, observed standing water on the sidewalk in the area where plaintiff fell either that night or the next day and he too slipped near the time of the plaintiff's fall. He also observed water would pool on the sidewalk after a rainfall or melting snow. Likewise he believed the sidewalk was lower than the grass and the area was graded toward the grass instead of the parking lot, allowing water and dirt to run down onto it and allowing patches of ice to form.[ix]
The president of Condo, Jeff Graves, stated that prior to her fall he was aware of water collecting on and around the sidewalks in other areas of the complex, especially during heavy rainstorms, but he was not aware of similar water pooling in the area behind the building where plaintiff fell. Graves inspected the area where plaintiff fell several hours after the fall, and the sidewalk was "bone dry." The temperature was in the forties or fifties and the sidewalk was "bone dry".[x] Photographs of the sidewalk area where plaintiff fell, which were taken a month after the fall, depicted standing water on the sidewalk and mud and debris on the sidewalk from the grassy area.[xi]
David Selio owned the snow and ice removal and landscaping service hired by the Condo and was also a resident of Klein Creek. He stated that under the contract, he performed snow and ice removal services when two or more inches of snow fell but for any snowfall less than two inches prior authorization from the Condo was required. He last cleared the snow on February 7, 2011, approximately 11 days before the fall in issue. Mr. Selio was aware that prior to plaintiff's fall, a drain tile was installed in another area of the complex to redirect the flow of water on the property away from the foundation to prevent soil erosion. In 2010, Condo accepted his bid for installation of drain tile work in another area of the complex to improve drainage near the foundation. In October 2011, additional drainage redirection work was done on the premises, including work to the area behind the building where plaintiff fell.
Defendants filed a joint motion for summary judgment, arguing, in part, that plaintiff's slip and fall claim was barred by the immunity provided to residential owners and operators under the Snow and Ice Removal Act, (herein Act), 745 ILCS 75/0.01 et seq. (West 2010). Trial court granted defendants motion, then the appellate court reversed.[xiii] The Supreme Court reviewed in light of a split in authority in opinions of the Appellate Courts.
Landlords under the common law do not owe a duty to remove natural accumulations of snow and ice.[xiv] "To hold otherwise would create an unreasonable burden of vigilance when considering that snowstorms cannot be foreseen or controlled".[xv] Landowners do owe a duty of reasonable care to prevent unnatural accumulations of snow and ice on their property where they have actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition. A landowner may be liable where snow or ice accumulates by artificial causes or in an otherwise unnatural way, where the condition has been present long enough to charge the responsible party with notice and knowledge of the condition's existence.
The Illinois General Assembly provided immunity to residential property owners under the Illinois Snow and Ice Removal Act in order to encourage them to "clean the sidewalks abutting their residences of snow and ice." 745 ILCS 75/1,2 (2010).[xvii] §2 of the Act provides for immunity for:
"Any owner, lessor, occupant or other person in charge of any residential property, or any agent of or other person engaged by any such party, who removes or attempts to remove snow or ice from sidewalks abutting the property shall not be liable for any personal injuries allegedly caused by the snowy or icy condition of the sidewalk resulting from his or her acts or omissions unless the alleged misconduct was willful or wanton." 745 ILCS 75/2 (West 2010).
The Supreme Court noted that the intent of the General Assembly was to encourage residential property owners to clear their sidewalks of snow and ice and that it was "undesirable" for any such person to be found liable due to their efforts at snow/ice removal.[xviii] The court noted that the statute specifically states that any residential property owner that "removes or attempts to remove snow or ice" will be provided immunity in that they "shall not be liable" for injuries allegedly occurring from those actions.[xix] Hence, the scope of the statute is limited to those times where property owners take action to remove the snow/ice.
The court found nothing in the plain language of the Act that evidenced an intent by the General Assembly to immunize liability for falls on accumulations of snow/ice that occur due to circumstances unrelated to negligence efforts at snow and ice removal.[xx] The court further emphasized that "The purpose of the immunity is to reward those residential property owners who voluntarily undertake a duty where there otherwise would be none…not to encourage the failure to otherwise maintain the premises in a reasonable save condition." [xxi]
The Supreme Court stated that the plaintiff in this case alleged that the defendants were negligent in maintaining their property. The plaintiff was not asserting that the defendants were negligent in removing snow/ice. Hence, the immunity provisions of that Act were not applicable to the case at bar and summary judgment was inappropriate.
Effect of Case
This ruling from the Supreme Court clarifies the Act in definitively stating that it only provides immunity to residential property owners when the allegations of negligence asserted by the plaintiff arise from the owners' efforts at removing snow/ice. If the allegations of fault included in plaintiff's complaint arise from negligent maintenance of the premises where the injury occurs, there will be no immunity provided under the Act. The case will have to be proven/defended on the facts of that case.
Thorough discovery should be conducted to evaluate if any witnesses can present testimony that the accumulation in issue actually arose from something other than normal precipitation. For instance, in the case above, extensive testimony and evidence was presented showing the water accumulation occurred often prior to the fall in issue. Practitioners, claims representatives and parties should investigate whether plaintiff can establish that the water accumulation occurred more than once. This information will help prove/disprove whether there accumulation occurred due to the structure/maintenance of the property. Additionally, it may be necessary to address common drainage issues at the property, including guttering, sloping of yards/landscaping, potential defects of walkways, etc. to determine if they had any effect on creating the snow/ice accumulation in issue.

When possible, meta-analyses were conducted using standardized mean differences to obtain aggregate estimates of effect size with 95% confidence intervals.
There were 47 trials with 3515 participants which qualified for study. Mindfulness meditation programs had
- moderate evidence of improved anxiety at 8 weeks and at 3-6 months,
- improved depression at 8 weeks and 0.23 at 3-6 months,
- improved pain and
- low evidence of improved stress/distress and mental health-related quality of life
- low evidence or insufficient evidence of any effect on positive mood, attention, substance use, eating habits, sleep and weight.
- no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment (ie, drugs, exercise, and other behavioral therapies).
The investigators conclude that health providers and clinicians should be aware that meditation programs can result in small to moderate reductions of multiple negative dimensions of psychological stress.
And they recommend stronger study designs to determine the effects of such programs in improving mental health and stress-related behavior.

Christchurch - The Atrium
Christchurch was formed about 20 years ago when the local Baptist and Methodist churches came together to form a Local Ecumenical Partnership. This made it possible to refurbish the premises to create really good facilities for the church and the local neighbourhood. We seek to be an inclusive, non-judgmental Christian community and welcome everyone to our fellowship. We have two or three services on Sundays which span a wide variety of styles, and many weekday activities, some "church" and some with the wider community of Clarendon Park.
