Industrial grades include bag paper, linerboard, corrugated cardboard, and papers used in consumer products. Bag paper and glassine (dense transparent or semitransparent) paper are gradually being replaced by plastic materials. Production of other industrial paper grades is increasing, however, particularly for boxes and construction use and for such consumer products as tissues, diapers, and food packaging.

The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Monday directed the deputy commissioner (DC) of Sector 17 not to draw his salary till its orders were not complied with by the DC office. The tribunal directed the respondents while taking up a contempt petition filed by a resident of Sector 22, Davinder Singh Balouria. The matter will next come up for hearing on November 2 and the DC has been asked to comply with the orders.
Watch what else is making news
The tribunal had earlier directed the DC office to release the pensionary benefits to the applicant in January this year. As the benefits were not released, the applicant filed a contempt petition in the tribunal.
Pronouncing the orders, the tribunal said: "The orders of the tribunal have not been complied with despite sufficient opportunities. The deputy commissioner is also disobeying orders regarding his personal appearance. To say the least this is highly unfortunate."
Pointing out on the conduct of the official the tribunal observed, "If responsible authorities do not obey the orders of the court, the system of adjudication and administration of justice would collapse. Respondent shall also not draw their salary till compliance of the orders of the Tribunal."
Balouria had sought direction to be issued to the respondents to release his pensionary benefits, including his gratuity, commutation of pension and pension in an application filed in 2015. He was appointed as a Patwari in 1976 and retired as a Tehsildar in May 2014. He claimed in the application that there was no departmental inquiry or criminal case pending against him on the day of his retirement. In reply, the respondents stated that two vigilance inquiries were pending against the applicant in the vigilance cell.

My tribe of women: Because I'm a woman and because I can
jacquelinesnider ♦ November 7, 2017 ♦ Leave a comment
I have a tribe. I found them kind of by accident a little over two years ago.
My tribe is not my extended family. It's my women's group.
I started going to a church about two years ago that was open to alternative forms of healing. Something that was and is very important to me.
They believe in prayer, of course. But they also believe in heart-based healing, which is taught to them by the United Church.
I had already learned about heart-based, or quantum healing, from a client of mine, and had experienced it firsthand. So when I found this church, I was thrilled.
Through the church there is a women's group open to any woman in the community whether she attends the church or not.
We are a very diverse group from all different backgrounds, age groups and upbringings.
But it never fails to astound me how, despite our differences, we all have so much in common deep down.
We are all females who've been brought up in a patriarchal society, so we feel the same societal constraints and pressures despite out cross-generational group.
And as I sat listening to the women last night, as we all shared our stories about our lives, I was struck by how hard life can be.
I don't feel I've had an easy life. I've dealt with abuse, emotional and sexual. I've dealt with depression and anxiety because of that abuse. And I've had difficulty choosing relationships that are healthy also because of that abuse.
But some of the women last night have had harder lives than I have. For me the most striking were the women who have had to live with the loss of a child. To me that seems the ultimate in hard.
And sometimes I wonder how they can go on. One woman said she's had PTSD since her son died 30 years ago.
And listening to their stories puts mine in perspective.
And I believe that's what a tribe is for. To hear you and to help you learn that heartache, pain and resilience are all an integral part of being human.
And most definitely being a woman.
So as I came home last evening still fresh with the feelings of loss, survival, acceptance and love that moves through our meetings, I knew without a doubt that I can do this thing called life.
Yes, sometimes I need help. Sometimes I cry because it all seems too much.
Other times I rage because I'm fed up with not feeling good enough or deserving enough.
But I know after spending time with my tribe that I'm not the only one.
That instead we're all in this together.
And to me there's nothing more beautiful or reassuring than that.

Add the canvas sides of a tent that open for fresh air and views of the lake and you've got a chalet. These structures offer a unique experience of comfort and stability together with the opportunity to be close to nature. All campers sleep in these structures, except our youngest campers (five and six year olds) and some of our teen campers (Leaders In Training). Chalets are clustered in groups also called "Sections" or "Villages" to enhance community.

A bit about our family and our roller coaster called life. My husband and I were married for 10 years before we decided to expand our family from a four-legged kid to the real deal. Prior to kids, we had two successful careers, we traveled, spent time with friends and family, and we laughed daily. We never had a strong desire to have biological children; instead, we were drawn to the idea of adoption.
After researching adoption programs, we narrowed it down to South Korea. The babies are placed in foster homes and receive excellent medical care while waiting to go to their forever families. Almost two years after starting the adoption process we received the call that it was time to bring our baby boy home at six months of age. We boarded a plane, headed to Seoul, South Korea, and dreamed about our future as a family.
Ben was a healthy and happy little guy. We bonded immediately, it was love at first sight. Ben was engaging and inquisitive from the start. He was affectionate and loved to laugh. And boy oh boy was he smart; his first sentence was at twelve months of age – Papa drive Volvo. Soon thereafter he knew every make and model of all the cars and could spot them from a mile away. Ben was very sensitive to sound and sleep was optional (for him, NOT me). Yes, in hindsight we missed a lot of clues that should have raised red flags.
Being an only child, when we started the adoption process I felt strongly that we would have at least two kids. Two years after Ben came home, his brother Jack (not biological) joined our family. He was four months of age when he flew home; another healthy and happy little guy. Ben was (and still is) so proud to be a big brother.
Over the course of the next few months we did "typical" family stuff – visited with family, hiked and camped, and had dinner with friends. It was during this time that Ben developed some repetitive behaviors like patting his brother on the back and saying "moo moo mama mama". When he heard music or would run around with other kids, Ben become overly silly with a maniacal laugh. He often missed the cue to calm down and move on. For two educated parents, we were still clueless. He was our perfect, and yes sometimes annoying, little boy.
That fall, at age three, we enrolled Ben in our local University's preschool program. The kiddos benefit from highly trained faculty and staff as well as passionate students gaining experience as part of their degree requirement. After six weeks in the program, we received a call from the lead teacher asking if we could meet in person. The lead teacher and staff spoke to Ben's endearing qualities before dropping the bomb shell … he was missing social cues, became easily dIsregulated, and struggled with basic transitions. They encouraged us to reach out to our district for an assessment and mentioned pursuing a neuropsychological evaluation. WE WERE DEVASTATED. Little did we know the roller coaster ride ahead of us.
Ben received over nine different diagnoses.
It is overwhelming when I put in words a summary of our next ten years. I often joke that we started at the beginning of the alphabet with Asperger's Syndrome, anxiety, and ADHD followed by bipolar. From there we started jumping around the alphabet with OCD, Tourette's Syndrome, a general mood disorder, and nonverbal learning disorder. At one-point borderline personality disorder was put on the table.
finding the "perfect" SCHOOL
Since preschool, Ben has been enrolled in ten different schoolS IN THREE STATES (over a ten-year period).
Experience has taught us to not get too attached to any one school. Ben spent kindergarten and first grade in our public school supported by a paraprofessional. The stimulating environment proved to be very difficult for him. He spent most of his time in the special education room removed from his peers. The school district agreed to send Ben to a private "typical" school that happened to have special education approval.
This school provides kids with a wonderful learning environment, small class sizes, and an inclusive community. In fact, Ben's brother still attends the school and is thriving. During Ben's tenure at this school, he was well supported by paraprofessionals and a behaviorist. Although he was loved by staff, teachers, and parents as well as included by his peers, the academic and social demands were becoming a challenge. Ben's outbursts were increasing in verbal and physical intensity.
After four years, we made the difficult decision to pull Ben from this school and look for a therapeutic setting. Our other reason for changing schools had to do with his brother. Ben's outbursts were affecting Jack. Jack was showing signs of anxiety and withdrawing socially. We felt strongly that he needed a school to call his own.
Finding a therapeutic school that was a good fit for Ben proved to be a challenge. During the next year he experienced four different placements. The first was for kids with developmental disabilities. Within six weeks we received a call … Ben is a smart and endearing kid who desires to have friends and be a part of the group; however, his mood swings and associated behavior are more than we are equipped to handle.
Starting to panic and wanting to keep Ben at home, we tried a therapeutic school for emotionally disturbed kids. This school accepts kids between the ages of 10 and 21. A large percentage of the population are court appointed. This was a horrible setting for Ben and one I deeply regret. Not only did Ben pick up impressive swear words; we are still dealing with the aftermath of how school disciplined kids. Six weeks in we all knew that this program was a poor fit.
Within six months, Ben went from a loving and supportive environment to two unsuccessful placements. In a full-blown panic, we started tutoring and hired an educational consultant. This led us to a gut wrenching decision to pursue a residential treatment program. Having tried the public school system, a private school, and schools for both development disabilities and emotionally disturbed children, and tutoring, we were at a loss.
After extensive research, we sent Ben to a residential treatment program across the country that specializes in helping children improve their ability to self-regulate. Ben was making progress at this treatment center and we implicitly trusted the team; however, he came home after a year. He was very homesick and in and out of the hospital. We were struggling with his medication and related side effects.
As I type this, Ben is home and enrolled in a day program affiliated with a leading psychiatric hospital. He likes the school and they think he is a good fit; we are cautiously optimistic.
OVER A SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD, 14 DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED INTO bEN'S BLOOD STREAM.
Ben is highly sensitive to medication and has experienced some of the rarest side effects. Once we get a mix of medications that help to manage the symptoms without numbing and sedating him, his body tends to retaliate.
Ben has developed hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia. He has been hospitalized due to his kidneys being compromised and his liver producing high levels of ammonia causing psychotic behavior. He is prone to an irregular EKG. All side effects from various medications. And then there is the weight gain and decrease in energy.
Within the blog, I will write in detail about our experience with psychiatric hospitalizations. We have learned how to navigate the admissions process to maximize insurance coverage, we got smarter about advocating during the stay, and we now know what steps need to be in place prior to discharge. Things I wish we did not need to learn.
the side effects of loving a brother with mental illness
Our journey with mental illness has impacted everyone in the family. Prior to Ben being at a residential program, our boys were very close. Family is important to us and we found ways to make the most of our situation. We did not realize how much his Jack was internalizing and the anxiety he was feeling. We tried therapy for him in the past. He was not willing to talk and felt strongly about protecting his brother.
When Ben was at the residential treatment program, we experienced and enjoyed a "normal" home life. Jack had friends over, we visited family, and we laughed and joked … a lot! Our visits with Ben were fantastic. We had lots of mini adventures during the year. Jack showed no signs of anxiety or depression.
It wasn't until Ben came home that Jack's world was rocked. After months of extreme tantrums and defiant and unsafe behavior, it was Jack's turn to visit the psychiatric emergency room. The diagnosis was PTSD and depression. All the anger and manic episodes Jack witnessed and never processed were coming to the surface in a major way.
Jack spent two months at a wilderness therapeutic program in North Carolina and now attends a therapeutic boarding school. Our journey continues.
the glass is half full … for real
I could write chapters on how our journey has changed the way we think about holidays, vacations, playdates, time with family and friends, and all the other day-to-day activities I took for granted prior to kids. I will save those stories for future blogs. Needless to say our story will continue to write itself as it is meant to.
we are stronger individually and as a family due to our journey with mental illness.
I do not take for granted those moments when the kids are playing Legos together or when they are reading quietly in their rooms. We have all learned a great deal on our path called life.

One of the books I gave this year was my friend's p.m.terrell's follow up to Songbirds Are Free, River Passage.ReplyDelete
I love calls like that too...and it was my favorite question as a librarian.ReplyDelete
This year I'm giving away The Mad King (read it - you'll love it) to my husband who has read it and just wants us to own a copy....The Book Thief, I opened early the Girl in the Arena, Elantris, Doc Hollywood, A Northern Light...and I'm sure a bunch more.
I gave my little sis two how-to Sewing books this year and my mom the newest William Dalrymple (she loves his books and pesters me about looking up on his website what book he has coming out). Then indirectly influenced other peoples presents. Suggested my brother buy my mom World Without End by Ken Follet because she and my dad wanted to read it, and Comeback 2.0 (about Lance Armstrong's comeback) for my husband from my mom.ReplyDelete

Update: A1498359 now named Alex was rescued 7/23 by Blue Angel Weimaraner Rescue, a 501(c)3 organization in Burleson TX. Please go to their Facebook page and view many wonderful photos of Alex and other rescued dogs, including Kaycee who was just sprung from Harris County Animal Shelter. Here is Pat Austin's FB post from 4 hours ago about Alex:
Alex was on the EU list at BARC in Houston. We saved him and he was neutered on Monday. However since he is so very very hyper and does not like cages or crates, his scrotum has swollen and is requiring more surgery to remove it. This is being done today. If you can donate to help with this additional cost that would be great. the paypal address is: firstname.lastname@example.com Thank you.Please share. There is a donate tab right on their Facebook page for your convenience. Petfinder shows their adoptables. The email for any questions to the rescue organization is blueangelweimsAT att.net - Thank you for supporting the rescuers and saving the pets!

With donations from many different sources we were able to provide 25 efficient and vented wood stoves to families in Los Limones, Gualan.
On March 12th, 17 were delivered to the families who had paid their Q200 share for the stoves. The families also needed to pay for transport. This was the agreement we made when we installed the demonstration stove at one of the elementar y s chool s in Los Limones. The city of Gualan was a big help by providing one of their trucks to pick up the stoves here in Antigua. Thanks to all who helped!
In February I asked the American Legion about providing some matching funds for the purchase of 25 water filters for the families who got the stoves. They asked that I give them a written proposal which I did at our March meeting. It was approved and they are matching $1 for every $2 that we raise. We have been successful in raising our 2/3 of the funds and the match from the American Legion is now available. As soon all the details can be worked out with the supplier we will purchase the water filters and have them delivered. Each family will pay Q80 ($10) for the filter. The Lutheran Church in Gualan will handle the "sale" and keep Q40 for their outreach program and the other Q40 will be given to us which we will then donate to the Lutheran Church here in Antigua for their children's program. We thank Bob & his family for a 1/3rd match .
The other 8 families are still working to meet their Q200 share. When this is done their stoves will also be delivered.
A long-time friend who was visiting us from Tacoma, WA heard us talking to the pastor of the Lutheran Church one day in the park here in Antigua. The church is very small and without many resources. Our friend generously donated the funds to buy Sunday School materials for the children. They and the teacher were very grateful and made the thank you cards for Takaji (Bob) Montague. Bob, your'e a good man! Thanks!
We received a donation to start the repairs on the Castillo house. The first thing on the list was to get them a new roof before the rainy season. On the 5th of March we went to Guatemala City with a friend who was returning to the States. Rebeca de Franco from the Lutheran Hour and her
administrator, Melvin, picked us up at our hotel where we were spending the night and took us shopping for roofing supplies. Melvin knew some shops that had very good prices and we bought everything needed for the roof under budget. We delivered the supplies to the Castillo family and were able to meet them for the first time. It was such a blessing to be able to do this and to bring the hope and light of Jesus to them. On March 13th, Melvin, the father and a carpenter installed the roof. It must have been a joyous day. We hope to see the new roof when we deliver the stove.
The family was desperately in need of a stove, any stove. The same person, David Pack, that provided the funding for the new roof also donated the funds for one of the fuel efficient and vented wood stoves. We are hoping to find a source where we can buy just one stove and that would free the family of having to pay transport. There is no way they could afford it.
Some months ago we introduced Lois Werner, Founder of People for Guatemala, to Karen Scheeringa, Founder of Hearts in Motion. Both organizations engage in medical programs. People for Guatemala are building a new clinic and Karen kindly donated some much needed medical equipment to them. This is a good example of how working together and sharing resources can have a larger impact on the communities being served than just going it alone.
We are so very grateful to the family, friends, churches and other individuals who have supported our work. Because of all of you 25 wood stoves have been purchased, 25 water filters are ready for delivery, the Castillo family has a new roof, a good supply of preventive medicines and will soon have a new wood stove and water filter. We have been able to pay for a tubal-ligation for a woman at the dump through the medicine fund as well as provide medicines for several children in Los Limones. We want to keep these projects going. One specific project we have in mind is to work with BuildinGUATE to replace the small rocket stoves that are part of their housing project with the larger wood stoves like those for Los Limones. The rocket stoves work well but are too small for family use as they can only use one pot at a time. The rocket stove costs Q350 ($45) but with donations of $80 each we can replace them with the larger stoves at no extra cost to BuildinGUATE. At times it seems so little, but when we think back on all that has been done we know that God is blessing our work, through you. We ask that you all prayerfully consider continuing your support for these cost-effective projects.

Management of these conditions is crucial for minimizing floor covering failures, a multi-billion-dollar problem in the United States today. This problem is especially troublesome in critical delivery environments which exist in the Healthcare Market, where downtime caused by a floor covering failure could literally run into the millions of dollars per day in lost revenue. The conditions that induce such failures are essentially predictable and controllable. Contributing factors may include impermeable floor coverings, accelerated completion schedules, insufficient preparation of the substrate, and improper concrete mixing practices.
Healthcare and higher-education institutions are critical-path markets that are looking for long-term Flooring Solutions. For instance, if an operating room has to be shut down due to a failed floor, not only is patient care compromised, the hospital could lose significant revenue, simply because the flooring process was not managed properly on the front end.
"It is widely accepted that the overall cost to repair a failed floor in a healthcare facility averages 5.5 times the original installation price, and it's just not worth the risk"
Proper subfloor management through our Sub-Floor Solutions is an essential process: prolonging the life cycle of a floor system, saving costly down-time and replacement.

NBNK Investments missed out on its secondary acquisition target yesterday, losing out to Virgin on Northern Rock. But it is still in the process of trying to buy 632 Lloyds branches and the UK business of National Australia Bank.
The outcome prompted questions about where NBNK will find the market share it needs to satisfy the Vickers Commission's demand that the buyer of Lloyds' branches have a six per cent share of the current account market. However, those close to the deal say that the demand could fall by the wayside in favour of getting any sale done.

After 6 very long years and many hands and hearts, our new building is done!
- 4380 safe bed nights
- 6570 meals
- 15,000+ Support hours
- 2,555 loads of laundry, and
- 5,942 hours of peer groups activities
These numbers are important because they are the numbers possible in our new building. What do they all mean really? That there is a door that opens when a youth knocks, a safe bed, and another child's life is saved.
The final step is furnishing our new building. We want a healing, comforting and welcoming environment. Local vendors have stepped up with generous discounts for furniture as well as pro bono critical services including interior design (for function and atmosphere) and technology design and set-up.
Comfort Zone! is offering a special DreamCatcher discount, including delivery and set-up, for our most essential furnishings. These and other items are on the gift list at the link below.
It will take $50,000 for the needed furniture and supplies. We have already raised $21,500!
We have created a few ways you can help DreamCatcher with this final step.
1) Choose something from the Gift List http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094ba4ae2ba4fd0-gift/ Gift List to purchase for the shelter.
2) Donate funds directly at Donate toward furnishings.

It does take a village to raise each and every child. The streets are cold, dangerous and terrifying for a child.
Thank you for being part of our 'village'.
"Delelo was on the floor at his home because his father wouldn't let him use a bed, after years of berating, he was kicked out at 17. The first night he slept in the park. 'I was never so scared in all my life.' The following night he found DreamCatcher Shelter. A month later the staff had explored his dreams and hopes, prepared and practiced interviewing with him. And he was accepted into Job Corps. Delelo was so excited he packed three weeks before that day he was to go and stayed packed. Today he is in Job Corps, proud that he is creating a future for himself. He still calls, they often do.
"A youth has no place to sleep, only needs a bus pass to continue to get to school, is hungry when we respond, we save a life."
There are over 1500 youth in Oakland and up to 3000 in Alameda County on any given night that are disconnected from family and all basic support. This is a county with traffickers and exploiters driving past bus stops, schools, down the streets, watching for that youth that looks a little more lost than the others, a little more scared, a little hopeless. We must reach those youth before they do.
DreamCatcher is a powerful program that has operated for many years on the proverbial shoestring. But it is not the same world. This world is dangerous at levels never imagined, predators are walking the streets, and violence can flare in an instant with not the fighters but the lingering child becoming the victim.
We need to bring all our homeless and disconnected youth to safety; we need to provide warm beds with blankets, good food, the support of skilled and experienced staff, and the bus tickets to keep getting to school.
Needs are both great—another building and more beds and small—a bus pass, a change of clothes, a backpack or just toothpaste. And each time we fill one of those needs great or small, we win and the youth win.
Our youth have gone to college, become contributing members of society, leaders both locally and nationally, and staff in our programs.
We can make each and everyone of them safe and provide them with tools to create a future with your help.
Please volunteer, donate, even advocate.
Donations can provide toothbrushes or buildings and every number in between. No matter what the number you will have changes a child's life. What could ever be better than that?

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) --The community is getting its first in-depth look at the problem of deputies mishandling inmates at the Santa Clara County jail. The sheriff released new information Friday morning, in response to a recent inmate beating death.
The Santa Clara County sheriff released new information on how she holds deputies accountable at her jail. This came at the request of the blue ribbon commission appointed to look at how the jail is run in response to the recent inmate beating death case.
WATCH VIDEO: Guards accused of murder seek to bar public from court
The report details pages of disciplinary action taken against correctional deputies, but critics say more transparency is needed.
Sheriff Laurie Smith has come under fire after inmate Michael Tyree was beaten to death back in August while he was behind bars here at the Santa Clara County jail. Three correctional deputies were arrested and face murder charges.
Local activists said more is needed to be done to shine light on what's taking place inside the jail where 1,100 people work, including civilians and a blue ribbon commission was formed.
Today, Sheriff Smith released to the commission details on disciplinary action taken against correctional deputies and officers over the past six years.
"What I hope that it shows, that when we become aware of this conduct we vigorously investigate. That those who are found to have sustained charges that we take swift action," said Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith.
The report shows all internal affairs investigations that have been completed and were not overturned by the personnel board or arbitrator. From 2010 to 2015, there were 83 deputies or officers who worked in the jail who were disciplined for various violations, including excessive force, DUI and inappropriate or romantic relationships with inmates. Two of those disciplined were terminated and 36 were suspended.
WATCH VIDEO: Former Santa Clara inmate speaks out about alleged beating
Community activists and commission members say they're appreciative the sheriff released this report, but believe more transparency and information is needed.
"We're not here to tear down police departments. We're here to make better transparency and make better communities," said Reverend Jethroe Moore, Silicon Valley NAACP.
The chairwoman of the blue ribbon commission, Ladoris Cordell, is calling for independent oversight of the jail. Sheriff Smith says she's open to the idea.

The latest in our series on beekeeping for a village magazine – written for non-beekeepers, and to suit the broad range of ages and knowledge among the readers.
Beginners usually spend some months reading, learning about different appraches, and training, before choosing a hive type and getting bees in Spring. As with anything in life, it is wise to begin by considering why you want to do something and what you hope to get out of it, before investing time and money; there are different types of hive optimised for different purposes. Your primary interest may be honey; pollination; conservation; or you may simply be fascinated by the behaviours of such alien creatures. I know people who just unwind by watching their bees.
The preparation through reading books and web articles, watching YouTube videos, and actually being present when hives are opened (through a course or mentor) is essential. There are horror stories about people buying a hive of bees and not knowing how to manage it. Like any other creatures, they react badly to mishandling, and fear!
You need to understand that it is a commitment of time and money. You can save hundreds of pounds if you build your own hive and catch a swarm, but you'll also need protective gear and some tools. But more significantly, it is a long term commitment of time, and very seasonal. It helps to know other beekeepers who can cover for you during emergencies when you are at work or on holiday.
As bees forage up to 3 miles away, a large garden isn't necessary; the corollary is this means most UK honey is not 'organic' as it is likely they have foraged on sprayed crops! Legally, as they are not contained, they are classified as wild animals and neighbours cannot legally stop you keeping them in Britain, but it is only polite and considerate to discuss the idea with them and educate them about the harmlessness of swarms.
I was recently at a meeting where people interested in starting beekeeping, aka 'newbees', could gain some guidance as above but also ask questions directly of other beekeepers. One intriguing question was "can I keep bees on a narrowboat, which is sometimes moved?" The answer was "not advisable" – firstly and fundamentally, the strong vibration from the engine when either charging the batteries or moving will make the bees very alarmed and defensive. Secondly, bees memorise the location of their hive and return precisely to that spot after a foraging trip. If the hive (boat) has moved they will be left behind and die.
Another very interesting point came up about keeping bees near Hook Norton. Normally, it is best to use local bees to avoid which can occur when two strains of bee cross-mate. But 'Hooky' is a centre of Buckfast breeding, an artificial race bred for honey yield. Their genetics swamp the area and any bees you keep near there are likely to end up crossed with Buckfasts. But in our experience, Buckfasts do not thrive unless continually dosed with chemicals to kill parasites – which is not ideal, in my opinion. There was no good answer here.
As one newbee observed insightfully, no rigid methodology can ever be completely right and everyone comes up with their own style of beekeeping, blending ideas that work for them and their bees.
If you live in Oxfordshire and would like to learn more about keeping bees, and perhaps confirm you are comfortable handling them, we can be contacted through this blogsite.

Edmonton Heating and Furnace Tune-Up and Safety Inspection
Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups
Furnace manufacturers and technicians alike recommend that HVAC equipment be inspected and maintained by a qualified technician every year, preferably before the heating system begins. Regular maintenance will ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operation. Most manufacturer warranties also include language that says any damage caused to the furnace as a result of improper maintenance will not be covered.
Does this mean that a yearly inspection is essential for your warranties to remain valid? It depends, but if you want to make sure that your manufacturer warranties remain in effect, schedule heating maintenance every year!
Benefits of Annual Maintenance
The purpose of a tune up is to ensure that all parts are working efficiently. If any problems are spotted, they can be fixed before causing major breakdowns. Additionally, a heating tune-up will improve your energy efficiency and save you money on your utility bills, effectively paying for the cost of the maintenance itself. A neglected furnace won't work as well as it should, and you could find yourself without heat on a cold day.
Maintaining your furnace actually saves money, even though homeowners don't like paying for the cost of the tune up. But whether your furnace runs on gas or electric, it will use more energy if it has to work harder to run correctly. Annual inspections ensure that your furnace is running at peak performance, lowering energy consumption and utility bills by as much as 30 percent!
Furnace inspections are also important for safety reasons. A qualified technician can identify carbon monoxide leaks, which are nearly impossible to detect on your own. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, and it can lead to headaches, dizziness, nausea and even death.
Make sure you check your carbon monoxide batteries every 30 days and replace them after 5 years of operation. Remember to check your smoke alarms every month as well and replace after 10 years.
What's Does a Tune-Up Include?
So what is done during a furnace tune up? Although it may look simple to the untrained eye, a qualified technician is busy checking many things. Some of the most basic tasks include:
- Cleaning the heating system to improve efficiency (blowers, burners, motors)
- Checking controls for safety
- Lubricating moving parts
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Checking thermostat settings
- Adjusting gas pressure and fan air volume
- Inspecting condensation drain
- Changing the filter
Furnace Safety Inspection
Most home fires occur during the winter months. Make sure your furnace is safely combusting and heating your home with a thorough furnace safety inspection. A heating safety inspection includes:
- Checking you heat exchanger with an inspection camera
- Looking for gas leaks
- Inspecting your chimney
- Tightening all electrical connections and controls for safe operation
- Checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
We highly recommend getting a furnace tune-up and safety inspection every year for optimum safety and efficiency.
With so much cold weather here in Edmonton, it's important to make sure that your furnace is in good working condition. The majority of no-heat calls in the winter are related to a lack of maintenance, and you don't want to find yourself in this position.
HVAC systems are complex, so it's important to hire the right professional for the job. A regular tune up will save you time, money and plenty of headache in the future.

Borrowing a book from Jesmond Library is easy and completely free. In order to sign up, all you need to bring to the library is:
• Photographic ID, such as a passport or driving licence
• Proof of address, such as a utility bill.
Once you are registered as a member on our computer system, you will be able to borrow books without needing a library ticket.
As a registered charity we aim to secure grants and/or sponsorship, but in order to create a sustainable future for Jesmond Library we also need your financial support. Ways in which you can become a Friend of Jesmond Library include:
In our first few months, well over 100 Founder Members got Jesmond Library off to a great start with donations of £100 or more. The names of all Founder Members are recorded in the entrance to the library (unless we have been asked otherwise). To allow us to claim Gift Aid on your donation please fill out the form below and return it to the library.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the library, we are asking regular subscribers for donations of at least £20 per family per year (or £2 per month), preferably by Standing Order through your bank. This will give us the confidence to plan for a long-term future, knowing that we can rely on the continuing support of our Friends. Once again, if you are eligible, please also complete a Gift Aid declaration and return it to the library. If you would like to make one or both of these pledges please fill out the forms available below, or from the library, or email firstname.lastname@example.com to ask for further information.
The Standing Order form should be signed and submitted to your own bank; the Gift Aid form should be handed in at the library (or posted through the letter box in the back lane). Even if you are not submitting a Gift Aid form, please let us know that you have set up a Standing Order – we like to know who are friends are!
We are always looking for volunteers to help, whether you can spare a couple of hours a week or a month, everything helps to keep this much valued service open and running. Call into the library to fill out a form or download our volunteer application form:
FOJL Volunteer Application Form_28Jul14 .doc

Both the main room and the community room (the Catherine Cookson Room) of Jesmond Library are available to hire. If you would like to use either of these spaces for running an activity or holding a meeting, contact us on email@example.com for more information on prices and availability.

Doctor accused malpractice could permanently lose license
Many residents of Pittsburgh turn to medical professionals in their darkest hours. For some it may be to get a second opinion after being diagnosed with cancer; for others, it may be to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Most of the physicians in Pennsylvania have the necessary credentials and have been thoroughly vetted by the health board. Sadly, however, just because they have a medical license hanging on the wall behind them doesn't mean that they can be trusted. There will still be a few incompetent doctors who make surgical errors, defraud their patients or commit some other form of medical malpractice.
A doctor who, until recently, was operating abortion clinics in Pennsylvania could have his medical license permanently revoked because of his negligence. He is accused of defrauding patients and endangering their lives. The man still has offices three other states, including New Jersey, where he is accused of performing late-term abortions and surgically removing fetuses. An investigation there was ramped up after a woman who sustained a serious injury during a botched surgery withdrew her malpractice lawsuit against the man. She testified to a judge that her lawyer learned that the doctor did not have any malpractice insurance. During a suspension hearing three years ago, the doctor testified that he had malpractice insurance and even went so far as to produce payment records for the policy. State prosecutors argue that the company that reportedly carried his policy has not issued any insurance policies since 2006.
Those who have suffered organ damage or any other serious injury because of a doctor's improper use of medical equipment or other negligence may want to speak with an attorney regarding their legal rights. Medical malpractice lawsuits are about more than money; they are also about exposing doctors who could potentially injure more people.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Many of the parenting books on our shelves were written by experts who have a whole bunch of letters lined up after their names. And then there are rafts of parenting memoirs and advice books written by mothers. There are funny ones, poignant ones, tragic ones, instructive ones, gripping ones, practical ones, and everything in between. Indeed, the conversation about parenting has never been richer, and we all benefit.
The people we don't hear from as often, however, are dads. This makes sense—there aren't nearly as many dads acting as primary caregivers for their kids as there are moms, yet. Yet. But more and more dads are stepping up to this hugely important job, and it's great to hear from them. Most of all, it's great to hear from a dad as funny, light-hearted, and full of good sense as Whit Honea.
In his new book The Parents' Phrase Book, Whit Honea gives us his parenting philosophy in an eminently practical form: "Hundreds of Easy, Useful Phrases, Scripts, and Techniques for Every Situation." This is a how-to manual in the best sense: fun to read, painless to remember, and instantly applicable.
Honea has no pretensions whatsoever—as he says up front, "The advice I offer is merely suggestion; granted it is really awesome suggestion, but the words you use are entirely up to you. You are the parent; I'm just some guy on the playground."
On the other hand, he sticks to his points, and doesn't mince words: "There are definitely things parents can do and say that are right and others that are absolutely wrong."
He takes on a lot of tricky topics like telling vs. tattling; childhood lies; whether the tooth fairy is real; bullies and bystanders; kids' friendships; conflicts over chores; sex and puberty; homework woes; and a lot more. Here's an example of a great response to something most kids say over and over, enough to drive any parent crazy:
Kid: "I don't want to clean my room!"
What to say (according to Honea): "Everybody in this family does their part to make the house run smoothly. Those chores are your part."
What not to say: "As long as you are living under my roof, you will do what I say."
Oh, but don't you just want to say that last bit when the kids are fighting you every inch of the way? That and worse? When parents get tired and stressed, it's easy to slip into "because I said so" or "not now" or "be quiet" answers to everything they say. Honea reminds us to make the effort to respond calmly and thoughtfully. He also reminds us to respond to our children with enthusiasm and encouragement. And he helps us out by feeding us the phrases we need.
The hope is that if we say the good things Honea tells us to often enough, then they'll become second nature. Or as he puts it: "We want [our kids] to be the best people they can be. Possible side effects include bettering ourselves in the process. That's a win-win."
