Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) appears important in the pathogenesis of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, Inc, South San Francisco, California) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody. It binds to and inhibits the biological activity of human VEGF.1 It has been estimated that more than 10 000 patients worldwide have been treated with intravitreous bevacizumab.2 We report results of a study in postmortem eyes with intravitreous bevacizumab treatment for zone 1, stage 2+ ROP in an extremely low-birth-weight infant.
The protocol was approved by the institutional review board for the use of intravitreous injections of bevacizumab vs conventional laser therapy for the treatment of vision-threatening ROP.
A Hispanic boy delivered at 22 weeks' gestation weighing 350 g had hypoxia at birth with development of many multisystem complications throughout his life. He developed bilateral zone 1, stage 1 ROP at postconceptual age 30.6 weeks. Zone 1, stage 2+ ROP developed 3 days later and extended 360° with multiple isolated hemorrhages. The tunica vasculosa lentis and hyaloid arteries were persistent. Laser surgery could not be used as the clinical status was poor. It was determined that intravitreous bevacizumab injections at a dose of 0.5 mg (40% of the normal adult dose) under sterile conditions would be given through the nasal pars plana of each eye at postconceptual age 31 weeks.
Within the next 6 weeks following the injections, the ROP disappeared and the vessels extended into posterior zone 2. However, zone 2, stage 3+ ROP developed at postconceptual age 41.6 weeks and intravitreous injections (0.5 mg) of bevacizumab were given again. Following these injections, the extraretinal fibrovascular proliferation gradually disappeared, leaving behind only a few traces and vessels extended into medium zone 2. No ocular complications related to the intravitreous injections were noted. Unfortunately, the patient died at postconceptual age 50.6 weeks from multiple systems failure, to our knowledge unrelated to the intraocular injections. Only the eyes were donated for study.
Histopathological analysis of both eyes showed identical changes. The corneal endothelial cells were intact. There was no inflammation in the anterior chamber, iris, choroid, optic nerve, or sclera (Figure 1), confirmed by immunohistochemistry using markers for T and B lymphocytes (CD3, CD5, CD43, and L26) and histiocytes (CD68) (Figure 2). All of the retinal layers were morphologically normal without inflammation, degeneration, extensive apoptosis (Figure 1), or necrosis as confirmed by caspase 3, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and vimentin immunostain. The retinal vessels extended to medium zone 2 of the retina as shown by CD31, CD34, and factor VIII antibodies (Figure 2). Few vascularization tufts through the internal limiting membrane into the vitreous were seen at the junction posterior and medium zone 2, some surrounded by histiocytes (Figure 2), but no preretinal fibrovascular membrane was seen and vascularization had proceeded anteriorly. Expression of VEGF in the retina and other ocular tissues was detected at both protein and messenger RNA levels (Figure 2).
Bevacizumab in this patient was shown to be well tolerated without any signs of toxic effects; in particular, no inflammation, degeneration, or necrosis was observed. Furthermore, the results show that bevacizumab effectively controlled the neovascularization in zone 1, stage 2+ ROP. Vascular endothelial growth factor is a survival factor for retinal neurons and a critical neuroprotectant during the adaptive response to ischemic injury.3 The retina and the proliferating abnormal vessels showed high levels of VEGF expression at both messenger RNA and protein levels. Vascular endothelial growth factor has recently been shown to influence neuronal growth, differentiation, and survival owing to its neurotrophic effects.3-5 Therefore, the dosage of bevacizumab is critical to preserve this effect on the neuroretina for adequate development. In our case, we administered 40% of the adult dose twice. Our results show preservation of morphology and expression of VEGF in the retina.

2 injured in shooting at NC fast food restaurant
2 injured in shooting at NC fast food restaurant
Police say two people have been shot after a dispute over the sale of a cellphone at a Fayetteville fast food restaurant.
Fayetteville Police Chief Harold Medlock tells the Fayetteville Observer that three men came to the McDonald's to buy the phone from another man. He says the deal soured at some point and rounds were fired inside and outside the busy restaurant.
Medlock says the two men hit were there to buy the phone; no bystanders were shot. He says they were taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening.
The chief says all four men involved in the incident were under 21, the legal age to carry a gun, and all four are in police custody. No identities have been released.

Mmm…Hummus (and live music from Ombak)
There's not much that I want to eat right now more than hummus. I constantly think of all the great places to have hummus: NY Deli, Kitchen 64, and, of course, CousCous. What could be better than adding spiced pine nuts to the top of it? Maybe FRIED GARLIC?
Anyway, enough of my drooling. I just wanted to let you know that Ombak is playing at CousCous tonight and again on April 29th for a CD release party. No cover charge. So why don't you just go and get yourself some yummy hummus (or amazing french fries with curry dipping sauce…) and listen to a band RVANews calls one of Richmond's best.
Here are some sites with more info on Ombak:
also, an excerpt from the RVANews article entitled "Top 9 Richmond bands you should go see" by Matt White:
SPEAKING OF TROMBONE PLAYERS!!! Ombak, sick purveyors of the tightest robot beats you have ever witnessed…call all your friends, and come hear Richmond's very latest and tightest jazz gem. Tunes straight from the caves of steel that we call Bryan Hooten's mind make you move, but then maybe stop and think, but then move again…it can get complicated all that moving and thinking, but when you're done, you're satisfied.

(This is the story of how Taylor Swift and I became mortal enemies). Once upon a time I was relaxing by myself at the park, bopping along to "Style," (Yes, I'm manly enough to admit I like girly music), when Taylor walked up to me, sat down, and began maowing down burritos. I chat with her about life and music, bla bla blah…when suddenly I hear a small, querulous trumpeting sound. I cock an eyebrow at her. "Was that you?" She shakes her head vehemently. "I can't fart. I'm physically incapable of it." I reply, "Yeah but I didn't do it, and you've eaten like five burritos and there's no one around, so…" She chucks the remains of a bean-n-cheese burrito full-force across the empty park. "I'M INCAPABLE OF IT, BITCH!" she screams this as her eyes light with Dark Side Red. My eyes widen and suddenly the Imperial March is sounding through the air as she rises from her seat and Force-chokes me. Out of desperation, I open my eReader to Echo. Magic flash. Chuck Norris appears on my eReader screen, gives me one of those steely, overly-bearded looks and says, "Metal's inbound. Hang in there, Kent." I tear my eyes off the demoness that's telekinetically squeezing the life from me and look up. State-of-the art, fresh-from-Area-51 bombers scream overhead, deploying glinting pieces of ordnance. As they comes streaking down, I see that they're the metal-est of the metal guitars: Electric axes festooned with dino-heads, skulls, as well as some cool, gritty robot-looking stuff. BOOM. They hit the deck and waves of pure Metal (METAAALLLL!!!) emanate out from their points of impact, distorting the air into a badass haze that buffets Tadolf Switler. She crumples in on herself, screeches, then sprouts batwings and takes to the sky. "I WON'T FORGET THIS, KENT!" She gives me the finger and I return it. That's the story of how I simultaneously pledged to uphold the Spirit of Metal and combat the evil of Tadolf Switler.

Sleaford Mods
Hailed as 'undoubtedly, absolutely, definitely the world's greatest rock n roll band' by Iggy Pop, Sleaford Mods are an aggressive, abrasive and opinionated post-punk duo from Nottingham. Unabashed in their lyrical support for England's 99%, Sleaford Mods have repeatedly tackled issues around austerity and the denial of civil rights to the British working class. The Mods have described their music as 'electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class.' and their recent release 'BHS' references the 2016 closure of the high street homewares chain owned by billionaire Sir Philip Green. Over 22,000 former employees were left without a pension fund, something that compelled Sleaford Mods to write a railing critique of Sir Green's choice to spend the week of the final closure sailing the Mediterranean in a newly purchased super-yacht.
This isn't escapist music, it's politically informed, angry as hell and ready to challenge societal norms. Join the Sleaford Mods at Body&Soul and get fired up.

Pina Colada With Toasted Coconut Rim
This pina colada is a tropical mixed drink that will remind you of sandy beaches and sunsets. Don't forget to toast the coconut for garnishing the rim of the glass.
How to Make It
Place 2 tablespoons flaked sweetened coconut in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan often, about 4-5 minutes or until coconut lightly browns. Transfer to a bowl, and cool. Combine 1 1/2 cups cubed fresh pineapple, 1 cup pineapple juice, 3/4 cup light coconut milk (don't rinse measuring cup--see why below), 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup light rum, and 8 ice cubes in a blender. Process until thick and smooth.
Dip a pastry brush or folded paper towel into the residual coconut milk in the measuring cup, and brush the inside and outside rims of 4 tall glasses. Dip the rim of each glass in the coconut to coat. Divide the piña colada among the 4 glasses. Garnish with pineapple, if desired.

We at HALO want to help make your RV trips not only easier but also better, whether you're headed to Rocky Mountain National Park or just the Ozarks. So we've found some handy items to help do just that.
We know this isn't exactly a "new" thing, so why not make the most of your RV trips by knowing exactly where you're going? Your family will thank you. And some GPS models even show restaurants and other attractions.
Portable battery charger
A dead battery will bring your trip to a quick halt, so make sure you can charge up in an emergency. Some portable chargers are solar-powered and include air compressors to pump up a flat tire.
Tire monitors
A flat tire not only can ruin a day's drive, it also can be dangerous. That's why it's so important to maintain your tires and make sure they're properly inflated. RV tire pressure monitoring systems alert you when you have a tire running low so you can fix the situation before it gets worse.
Power inverter
These days, everyone has something to charge — from phones to laptops and even e-readers. There are tons of options for inverters that provide portable power, without using your generator, so your devices are ready to keep you connected and entertained.
Silicone cookware
A "must-have" for many RVers, silicone cookware is renowned for nonstick performance. Stacked pieces also don't rattle while you're on the road.
Satellite TV
Perhaps you're RVing to escape "regular" life, including TV. But if you just can't live without it, you have several choices from dishes that attach to the RV to portable models.
Packing a few games is a great idea for when the weather doesn't cooperate with your vacation or if you just want to make some new friends at the campground. Classic board games are a fun way to spend a rainy day, and it's always a good idea to have a deck of cards or two around. Outdoor games like beanbag toss or horseshoes are sure to get your competitive juices flowing.
Where to find gadgets for RVing
Of course, there are thousands of useful tools that we just don't have room to list here – kitchen gizmos to barbecue grills, solar panels to RV tracking systems. Any of these gadgets could improve your experience, whether you're headed across the country or just across the state! Your local RV dealer likely has more than a few accessories to help you, so they're a great place to start.

2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster: But, Officer
April 16, 2013
No, I didn't get pulled over for going fast in our 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. But I can understand why, say, sticking to the 40-mph speed limit on surface streets would be difficult for some people driving this car. Not only does its power come on smoothly but just look at that speedometer. Is it just me or does "40" look as if it's located in the usual "20" spot? Then again, 40 in this car looks and feels sooo slow.
For comparison's sake, take a look at the speedos for our long-term Subaru Impreza, Porsche 911 and Cadillac ATS.

Cavolo nero chips - spicy 'prawn cocktail' flavour
Prawn cocktail crisps are very UK specific...they don't even taste of prawn! It is a zingy slightly spicy flavour instead. This recipe is the closest I have been able to get to it, but it isn't exactly the same so please don't be disappointed. This is a yummy snack and a little different to the kale chips that are now ubiquitous.
8-10 large cavolo nero, leaves removed from the stalk
1T sumac
A pinch of cayenne pepper
A pinch of smoked paprika
1/3t onion salt
4T ground almond
2T dairy free milk (unsweetened)
Heat your oven to 100c.
Put the cavolo nero leaves in a large bowl.
In a cup or glass mix the sumac, cayenne, paprika, onion salt, ground almond and dairy free milk.
Pour this onto the leaves and massage it in so that all the leaves are covered.
Lay out the leaves on baking paper on a baking tray, make sure that none are over lapping.
You can twist the leaves into shapes if you want to, they will retain the shape, circles is quite nice and looks great in a bowl.
Bake for around an hour until they have crisped up. Allow to cool and serve.

The simplest of changes to your virtual environment can have a profound impact. Even launching a single VM can release a bevy of evil Change Gremlins that can take down your entire system.
How can you be prepared for those villainous Change Gremlins? Perhaps they have already wreaked havoc or started a chain reaction of consequences. Don't wait to get a stream of calls and helpdesk tickets from unhappy users. Your favorite super hero is here to save the day: Dell Foglight Change Analyzer!
Not only will the mighty Change Analyzer protect you from those feisty Change Gremlins, but she offers guidance to help you think ahead and anticipate how certain changes might affect your environment. Change Analyzer recommends that you first follow these four basic steps to keep the Change Gremlins away and get the best performance out of your virtual environment:
It's important to have a change management protocol in place. Manually tracking and documenting changes and their impact can be a stop-gap, but as your virtual environment grows, so does the difficulty of change management as well as the margin for human error. When your IT staff is busy putting out fires, they don't always have time to document every detail, even if that is part of the protocol. And that's when the Change Gremlins can sneak in.
At times like these, virtual performance management super heroes … er, software … can be invaluable. Tools specifically designed for change management, such as Dell Foglight Change Analyzer, help you not only monitor changes once they've occurred, but they can even help you measure the potential impact of every change you want to make before you deploy. Over time, you can more proactively predict the impact of commonly taken actions using your own historical data.
This becomes quite easy with the help of Change Analyzer and her amazing dashboards:
Foglight Change Analyzer tracks helps you track changes in your virtual environment, understand their potential impact on performance and availability — and keep the Change Gremlins at bay! She is able to capture and report changes to VMs, hosts, clusters, data stores and resource pools in a single bound — or within a selected environment. She scales to compare VMs to a "gold standard" VM or template and leaps to alert you when changes cause their configurations to drift from the standard.
Change Analyzer is ready to help fight the Change Gremlins any time day or night. (Meaning, the software comes pre-installed and enabled with the latest version of Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition - and it can also be installed on certain Foglight Management Server versions.)
Learn more about the amazing powers of Change Analyzer and how change analysis can help your business in our new white paper, "Roll with the Changes".

Portishead [Special]
Portishead [Special]
Portishead may not have invented trip-hop, but they were among the first to popularize it, particularly in America. Taking their cue from the slow, elastic beats that dominated Massive Attack's Blue Lines and adding elements of cool jazz, acid house, and soundtrack music, Portishead created an atmospheric, alluringly dark sound. The group wasn't as avant-garde as Tricky, nor as tied to dance traditions as Massive Attack; instead, it wrote evocative pseudo-cabaret pop songs that subverted their conventional structures with experimental productions and rhythms of trip-hop. As a result, Portishead appealed to a broad audience -- not just electronic dance and alternative rock fans, but thirtysomethings who found techno, trip-hop, and dance as exotic as worldbeat. Before Portishead released their debut album, Dummy, in 1994, trip-hop's broad appeal wasn't apparent, but the record became an unexpected success in Britain, topping most year-end critics polls and earning the prestigious Mercury Music Prize; in America, it also became an underground hit, selling over 150,000 copies before the group toured the U.S. Following the success of Dummy, legions of imitators appeared over the next two years, but Portishead remained quiet as they worked on their second album. Named after the West Coast shipping town where Geoff Barrow grew up, Portishead formed in Bristol, England, in 1991. Prior to the group's formation, Barrow had worked as a tape operator at the Coach House studio, where he met Massive Attack. Through that group, he began working with Tricky, producing the rapper's track for the Sickle Cell charity album. Barrow also wrote songs for Neneh Cherry's Homebrew, though only "Somedays" appeared on the record. Around the time of Portishead's formation, he had begun to earn a reputation as a remix producer, working on tracks by Primal Scream, Paul Weller, Gabrielle and Depeche Mode. Barrow met Beth Gibbons, who had been singing in pubs, in 1991 on a job scheme. Over the next few years, the pair began writing music, often with jazz guitarist Adrian Utley, who had previously played with both Big John Patton and the Jazz Messengers.Before releasing a recording, Portishead completed the short film To Kill a Dead Man, an homage to '60s spy movies.
Barrow and Gibbons acted in the noirish film and provided the soundtrack, which earned the attention of Go! Records. By the fall, Portishead had signed with Go! and their debut album, Dummy, was released shortly afterward. Dummy was recorded with engineer Dave MacDonald, who played drums and drum machines, and guitarist Utley, who rounded out Portishead's lineup.
-------- xXx -------
The band was formed in Bristol in 1991, by Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons and Adrian Utley. Previously, Barrow had been working as a tape operator (including work with Massive AttackTricky)[2], Gibbons was singing in pubs, and Utley had played jazz guitar for Big John PattonThe Jazz Messengers.[3] The trio created the short film To Kill a Dead Man, which was heavily inspired by espionage films, and its accompanying soundtrack persuaded Go! Beat Records to sign the band.[4][5]Dummy (1994)
Portishead's first album, Dummy, was released in 1994 and the first single was "Numb." Despite the band's aversion to press coverage, the album was successful in both Europe and the United States (where it sold more than 150,000 copies even before the band toured there).[4] DummyNumb", "Glory Box" (which was used in the 1996 film When the Cat's Away) and "Sour Times", and went on to win the prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 1995.[6] Portishead (1997)
After their initial success,Portishead withdrew from the spotlight for three years until their second self-titled album, Portishead, was released in 1997. The album's sound differed from Dummy, the main differences being that much of the music was composed and recorded by the band, then pressed to vinyl. This created a grainy, harsher sound. Three singles, "All Mine", "Over" and "Only You" were released, the first one achieving a Top 10 placing in the UK. Roseland NYC Live (1998)
In 1997, the band performed a one-off show with strings by the New York Philharmonic[7] at Roseland Ballroom in New York. A live album primarily featuring these new orchestral arrangements of the group's songs was released in 1998. There was also a long-form VHS video of the performance, and a DVD followed in 2002, with substantial extra material including many early videos.
Hiatus (1999-2005)
For the next few years, the band members concentrated on solo and other pursuits, until in February 2005, the band appeared live for the first time in seven years at the Tsunami Benefit Concert in Bristol.[8] Around that time Barrow revealed that the band was in the process of writing its third album. In August 2006, the band posted two new tracks on its MySpace[9] Around the same time, Portishead covered Serge Gainsbourg's "Un Jour Comme un Autre (Requiem for Anna)" on the tribute album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited.
Third (2008)
On October 2, 2007, that the new album, titled Third, had been mixed and was nearly complete, and was due for release in early April 2008. The release date was later pushed back to April 28. On December 8-9, 2007, the band curated the All Tomorrow's PartiesMinehead, England. The festival featured their first full live sets in nearly 10 years.[10] They premiered five tracks from the new album; "Silence", "Hunter", "The Rip", "We Carry On" and "Machine Gun". On January 21, 2008, a European tour to support the album was announced,[11] together with a headline spot at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 26, 2008.[12]
Portishead's newest 11-track album "Third" went live on last.fm the week before release, attracting 327,000 listeners in just under 24 hours.[13] It was the first time Last.fm has made an album available before its official release date. The site estimates that a quarter of a million people have visited their site expressly to listen to the Portishead tracks. The album was released on April 29, 2008 to coincide with band's appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[14] On May 29, 2008 Portishead's Geoff Barrow realised a "boyhood fantasy" when Chuck D of Public Enemy joined the band onstage at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. He contributed a freestyle rap over Portishead's single 'Machine Gun'.[15][Web sites]

|I have had this daylily for many years and will always have it in my garden. It is a wonderful bloomer and great performer. Have really never had any trouble with it. I guess if I were to find anything negative it would be that I like scape height to be taller. It is fertile but I have found that it does not produce a great deal of seed. My one and only seedling that I got from Flutterbye was awesome and I ended up registering it.
This is Jester's Collar (Black Plush x Flutterbye)

|Cindy - You Jester's Collar is lovely. I looked at the children Flutterby produced and saw some amazing blooms on those intros. Very, very nice featured cultivar!

|I have had Flutterbye for over 4 years. My main clump disappeared this year. I am beginning to think when there is a warm winter some dormants are not happy campers. But my secondary clump of two fans put on an awesome show this year. Here its bloom is fairly pale. This picture is most representative of Flutterbye's coloring.

May your garden spread joy!
I prefer to walk in the light, I prefer a world where people want to be kind and bless each other, I prefer a God who loves and shares so much that he gave up his only Son for me. I prefer to choose the God of Abraham. Let there be peace and let it begin with me.

| As I continue to make changes to my garden in 2017 "Flutter Bye may be on my hit list to go. While I liked the colors it doesn't perform well for me.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

Clariant intensifies support for Chinese refining & chemical industries with new Catalysts office in Shandong
- New branch and team to enable closer relations with customers in central and northern China
- Clariant is committed to providing tailor-made catalyst solutions and services through local expertise
- Shandong region is an economic powerhouse offering opportunities for production optimization
Munich, December 13, 2017 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, today announced the opening of a new office for its Catalysts business in Qingdao, Shandong Province, which will focus on providing enhanced services for customers in central and northern China. The expansion follows the establishment of another office in Yinchuan city in July 2017, and reinforces Clariant's commitment to supporting the Chinese refining and chemical industries and intensifying growth through strong local presence.
Shandong Province is an economic and industrial powerhouse, and a key location for refining, petrochemical and chemical companies. With the new Qingdao office, Clariant will be able to offer regional industries – including those in Shandong, Henan and Hebei – closer collaboration and superior services in developing and implementing optimal catalyst solutions. Customers will benefit from personalized consultation and sales assistance, as well as enhanced technical maintenance, and faster response times. Local teams will be supported by Clariant specialists both within China and globally, as well as through technological innovations Clariant is developing worldwide.
Thomas Wenger, Head of Business Unit Catalysts, Clariant China, explained the strategy, stating, "Proximity is crucial for our customers and our company. Therefore, we are actively expanding our businesses in China, and providing more autonomy in decision making at points closest to our customers. This allows us to clearly understand their opportunities and challenges, so that we can offer tailor-made support for China's industrial transformation through our innovative and sustainable catalyst technologies."
An essential requirement for industries in the region is the optimal production of chemicals such as formaldehyde. Clariant offers several leading catalyst technologies to answer this need. One example is the new FAMAX® DS catalyst series, which enables the production of high-quality formaldehyde with exceptional efficiency and very low energy consumption.
Shandong as the province also has the most number of refineries, Clariant offers their leading fuel upgrading catalyst to support their rapid growth. S Zorb™ catalyst enables refineries' gasoline product to meet the latest China V requirement, with low hydrogen consumption and RON (research octane number) loss.
With China's growing focus on improved air quality, another key concern for producers and the public is emission control. Clariant's EnviCat® VOC catalyst presents a powerful and economical solution to this challenge. The high-performance catalyst effectively removes harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide while significantly reducing the energy consumption of plants.
FAMAX®, EnviCat® ARE REGISTERED TRADEMARKS OF CLARIANT

Snow removal
When it snows in your city
The City of Kitchener does its best to quickly clear the snow and ice to reduce hazards to motorists and pedestrians and acts as soon as a storm begins. To help with snow removal on city streets, please place garbage and recycling in the driveway area and NOT on the roadway on your collection day. Our snowplow drivers will thank you!
It takes 16-24 hours to complete all snowplowing routes after the snow has stopped falling. Other factors, such as temperature, future forecasts and precipitation, determine how and when plowing, salting or sanding should take place. Each snow plow is assigned a designated area of the city and priority for plowing is as follows:
- Priority 1 = mains and arterials. All priority 1 and 2 routes and all bus routes are maintained until complete.
- Priority 2 = hills, curves & GRT routes. Work on Priority 2 streets begins only after Priority 1 streets have been completed. If snow resumes while in Priority 1 or 2, then clearing Priority 1 roads is restarted.
- Priority 3 = Balance of backstreets, ie. Full plow. Work on Priority 3 routes starts only after priorities 1 and 2 have been completed. If snow resumes while in Priority 1 or 2, then clearing Priority 1 roads is restarted.
Snow Events
A Snow Event is declared when a significant snowfall is expected (based on credible weather forecasts) to help crews clear city streets and keep pedestrians and cars safe.
- Sign up to receive notices about Snow Events, which trigger the City of Kitchener's tag-and-tow parking bylaw.
|Salt use
As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, the City of Kitchener was the first area municipality to introduce a substantial anti-icing program as part of its routine approach to winter maintenance. Our "anti-icing" program reduces salt usage on winter roads. We apply liquid salt brine mixed with beet juice onto the roadway before a snow event to prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement; this makes snow removal more efficient because less salt is required to return roads to bare pavement.
Through several initiatives under our salt management program, our winter maintenance contributes to a healthy environment for our residents.
Find out what you can do to be smart about salt on your property.
|Special areas of the city
The cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo often work together to ensure their services are efficient and their citizens are kept safe during the winter and the weather that comes with it. Each city approaches snow removal, including winter parking bylaws, in slightly different ways:

How cold is too cold?
So I know people wait until after the last frost date to move their vegetable seedlings outside. The last frost date in my area is scheduled for May 24 - 28 depending on what resource you check. It has been a warm spring, but we still have cool nights (anywhere from 34 - 40 degrees). The days are warmer and I'm anxious to get my strong looking seedlings out of the house. What temperature do you think vegetable plants can make it in? If these were your vegetable plants, what night low temperature would you wait to be above? I have beans, squash, peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Proposed Language for 1332 Waiver Authorization Bill
MAHU Legislative Report
April 2017
April marks the start of the real work on the State budget for Fiscal Year 2018 that begins October 1st. Much of the policy work slows down for a few weeks while appropriations subcommittee chairs hold hearings and eventually pass budgets related to individual state departments. Those individual budget bills are then combined into two large omnibus bills, one pertaining to K-12 school funding (School Bus) and the other for all other state spending (General Omnibus). Procedurally, those individual budget bills will be voted down by each respective chamber, requiring a conference committee where subcommittee chairs from each chamber will negotiate a final number for their budget. However, that final number for the state budget will not be agreed upon until after the May meeting of the Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference (CREC). The CREC will determine projected state tax revenues and liabilities, along with such estimates as Medicaid caseload, on which to base the final FY2018 budget bill.
CE Bill Passes House
On Wednesday, April 26th the Michigan House of Representatives passed HB 4325 106-2-1. Reps. John Bizon (R-Battle Creek) and Rose Mary Robinson (D-Detroit) voted "no" with Rep. Robert Wittenberg (D-Oak Park) abstaining, excusing himself from the vote on the premise that he is a licensed insurance agent and it may be conceived as a conflict of interest. The bill now advances to the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Insurance. The Chairman, Senator Joe Hune, has been vocally supportive and stated he will take the bill up for a hearing when appropriate. MAHU will continue to work to ensure that the Senate passes HB 4325 by the time the legislature breaks for summer recess.
MAHU Takes Lead on State Prohibition on Advanced Marketing and Rate Release
Last month, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Michigan Association of Health Plans penned a joint letter to the Department of Insurance and Financial Services opposing the Oct. 1 date for releasing marketing materials and rates for the individual and small group markets. The issue remains rather low on DIFS' agenda and speaking with the Health Plans, it is agreed that MAHU should have a larger voice in the issue. A letter is being drafted that will be shared with the other agent groups in Michigan to cosign, (MAIA and MI NAIFA) and if approved will also be co-signed by BCBS and MAHP. Additionally, it will likely be shopped around to the business groups for inclusion as well, MI Chamber, Small Business Association of Michigan, National Federation of Independent Businesses, who represent some of the largest purchasers in the small group market. The idea being if carriers, underwriters/agents, and purchasers can agree on an earlier date it provides a more convincing argument to the Department to modify their rule. Stay tuned on this issue as it moves forward.
HB 4117 MAHU Amendments
Sec 1239 (6) For any license applicants who violate section 1239(1)(f) and are issued a producer license, the Department shall annually report on January 1st from the previous calendar year, the number of licensees, the type of line of insurance that a licensee received and the type and class of felony committed.
Sec 1205 (e) Has not been convicted of a felony within the past 10 years or a felony involving violence or the threat of violence against an individual, domestic violence, criminal sexual conduct, or a crime of fiduciary nature such as fraud, embezzlement, bribery or extortion.

More added to the Hanse Festival lineup
The Newport Ship mobile museum exhibition will be in the Hanse House on both days of the festival. This fascinating exhibition tells the story of the discovery, excavation and conservation of the Newport Ship, a 15th-century sailing vessel. The ship was built around 1450, and then lay undisturbed on a riverbed in Newport, Wales, for over 500 years. It is the best preserved example of a 15th-century ship ever found. Hundreds of artefacts were found during the excavation, and the mobile exhibition will have some of these on display. Visitors can learn what life was like aboard, explore the artefacts, and even press a coin similar to those found on the ship.
On Saturday 21 at 5pm, if festival-goers aren't tempted by the live music in King's Staithe Square, they can attend a specially organised concert of classical music. The Chanot Ensemble will perform music by Handel, Bach and Pachelbel among other composers. The concert will be in the beautiful venue of All Saints Church, Hillington Square and will be free to attend.
Hanseatic Characters is a chance to learn about some iconic Lynn figures and pioneers from Hanseatic times – as brought to life by the very entertaining Room at the Hanse Theatre Company.
Father William Sawtrey, a 14th-century parish priest, introduces his own story, which the company will act out in medieval style as a Morality Play. Sawtrey met a terrible fate as the first man in England to be burned for his beliefs. He will also relate the story of two of Lynn's most famous residents: Margery Kempe, medieval visionary and author, and her father John Burnham, Hanseatic merchant, mayor, royal agent and MP for Lynn at the time of Geoffrey Chaucer.
The characters will be in the Reception Room at the Hanse House, with performances on Saturday 21 at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Tickets are £5 per adult with accompanying children free.
And this packed day will now finish with a firework display! At 10:30pm, as the live music ends, a short firework display will be able to be viewed from the waterfront. The display has been made possible thanks to the generosity of local businesses, as it has sponsored by members of the BNI Hanse of King's Lynn, and Whitelightning Pyrotechnics.
Cllr Nick Daubney, the English Commissioner to the Hanseatic League, said: "There will be so much going on! These events have been added to an already packed programme of a medieval parade and market, arts and crafts demonstrations, have-a-go archery, Hanse walks and talks, free live music and much more, all happening around King's Lynn's historic waterfront".

Are you one of those people (like me) who swear coffee makes you more productive? If you're a woman, you may be right.
According to a new study, coffee helps women perform better in stressful work situations, while male coffee drinkers actually perform worse. Lindsay St. Claire and Peter J. Rogers, psychologists at the University of Bristol in England, arrived at this conclusion while testing the affects of coffee in the workplace.

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and
wanted to say that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
After all I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
In modern civilization, a man often begins the dating game in a bar or club by buying a woman a drink. But since this is the age of gender equality, why not turn the tables and get a woman to buy you a drink? It's a good exercise in persuasive charm, and it has the added benefit of filtering out gold diggers. Here are several ways you can pull it off.
1. Tell a story where a different woman bought you a drink. Of course, you can't say,"So I was in this bar and this woman bought me a drink" and then smirk like an idiot. The story needs to accomplish a few things:
2. Follow up with a challenge, laced with presuppositions: "I doubt if when you buy me a drink it'll be that exciting but I'm sure that with a little creativity we can think of something…" If you look closely, this is a sentence made up of presuppositions. A presupposition is a statement where you assume that the person is going to do something. Here are the presuppositions in this sentence:
3. Assume her generosity. If a girl happens to say something like, "Do you want to go get a drink?" or "Let's go get drinks" say: "Yeah! That sounds great, I'll take a jack and coke" or whatever drink you want. If you say this with conviction as if you really mistook her meaning, it'll probably work, because most people won't say "No, I meant YOU buy" or"Give me the cash for it." If it doesn't work, fall back on "You get the first round and I'll get the second." You'll end up paying for the next round but hey, you still got her to treat, rather than you buying everything.
4. Play the 5 questions game. This is a common game played by pick up artists, but there is no reason you cannot use it to just have fun. Here is how you do it…
5. Play the #17 game.

More families than ever are moving to the suburb of Doral, and the Miami-Dade County school district wants to make sure those families pick public schools.
The school board on Wednesday will vote on a proposed land swap that would result in a new district-run school being built where a charter school had been planned. It would be the second new school in Doral in just a few years.
The move is seen as a win for the district, which has been losing an increasing number of students to privately-run charter schools, which take state funding with them.
"There is a need in Doral. That need is going to be met by someone if not by us," board member Raquel Regalado said during a recent school board committee meeting. "We were all pleased when we were able to stop having the conversation about a charter and start having a conversation about a public school."
Not everyone applauds the change, though. Miami-Dade is giving up an unneeded plot of land near West Kendall in exchange for the new school site in Doral. The swap, which would give the West Kendall land to home-building giant Lennar, could mean more home construction in a far-flung exurb that already struggles with nightmarish traffic.
"You've got to build up an enormous energy reserve to get in your car to go someplace," said Kendall Federation of Homeowner Associations president Michael Rosenberg. "So I think anybody would tell you we don't want anything else [built] here."
Doral is in the midst of a population boom, with 5,600 residential units planned over the next several years. Unlike other growth areas, such as downtown Miami, the increase in Doral is being fueled in significant part by families.
While the number of children enrolled in Miami schools shrunk by 13 percent between 2009 and 2013, it surged by about 78 percent in Doral, according to Census figures.
All those kids need to go to school. Increasingly, they're choosing charters.
Jack Marquez moved from West Kendall to Doral in 2010 after choosing to send his son to Doral Academy Preparatory, a charter school. His son has graduated, but now Marquez's daughter goes there.
"It was a better school and it was closer to work, and it was an 'A' school," said Marquez, 46, who works in the Doral area for a medical company.
There are 11 charter schools in Doral, including Downtown Doral Elementary, which will debut when classes begin Aug. 24. In a unique partnership, the 800-student school was built with private money but will be run by the school district.
Another charter was slated for a four-acre plot at Northwest 102nd Avenue and 77th Terrace, to be built by an affiliate company of Lennar. Plans called for a 2,000-student school serving kindergarten through 12th grade.
On Wednesday, the school board will vote to allow the superintendent to finalize negotiations to take over the land. The public school would serve 1,200 students in grades kindergarten through eighth.
"With us or without us, there will be a school in Doral," Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said during a recent school board committee meeting. "We can choose not to engage … and allow a management company take over the development of a school in Doral, or not."
In the exchange, Lennar would get a 25-acre plot of district-owned land in West Kendall. Lennar would also agree to pay the district $2.9 million, the difference in appraisal values for the land.
A Lennar spokesman did not return a request for comment, but school officials say up to 85 homes could be built on the land. That's a problem for board member Marta Perez. When the board discussed the swap during a recent committee meeting she jokingly asked for a box of tissues.
"Every time we talked about this parcel, I said: Please, let's not let it contribute to the problem that we have, which is developers building bedroom communities," she said. "I just think that it's not good public policy. I'm fine about building a school, but I'm not fine about how this is being done."
The district put up land in West Kendall for sale twice, but didn't get any proposals, said Chief Facilities Officer Jaime Torrens. The district doesn't need the land since there are plenty of schools nearby, Torrens said.
Perez said she'd rather see the land used for public purposes, though Torrens noted there's a 10-acre park less than a mile away.
In Doral, the district's new school will be built no earlier than 2018. First, the city of Doral has to approve changes to a development agreement that was previously approved for the proposed charter school.
In other business Wednesday, the school board will vote on a diversity and anti-discrimination policy that will apply to the way the district contracts with women- and minority-owned businesses.

So disingenuous as to be even unimaginative.
Alinsky. Ayers. Axelrod. A cadre of red-diaper babies in charge of our country who have activated the thousands upon thousands of mandarins who occupy our government and monkey wrench everything from jailing landowners over rainwater collection ponds, to hosting Vegas orgies for the people responsible for the government's bookkeeping. That is not unintentional in either regard.
This Second Great Depression is a direct result of government interference with natural market forces, and Bobo is doubling down on the interference, not the cure.
You want to see an average IQ, go look in the mirror...
Stalin is famous for one thing ~ he may have been among the first to remind us that the death of a single man is a tragedy while the death of a million is a statistic ~ no doubt ancient wisdom scoured from the depths of Hell.
These people can't see the future either, and Alinsky's methods are credited for much more than he was ever able to get them to do.
This is the ancient enemy you have been taught how to battle. Never forget who they are.

Is Mental Illness Real And Other Insane Questions People Are Asking6:08 AM
Mental illness is stigmatized. But there's also a media glamorization of mental illness so the very dangerous question is mental illness real is asked.
The Definition Of Mental IllnessThe stigma of mental illness is incredibly real and incredibly harmful. But there's an eerie flip side to this conversation. The media sometimes presents having a mental illness as glamorous, as something that makes life—and a person—more interesting. To some people, this translates as reason enough to ask is mental illness real or is mental illness constructed. On VProud there's a truly powerful video and conversation about the glamorization of mental illness. Vlogger Sammi Adams distills this dialogue to this: mental illness is an illness, it's boring and annoying and so, so very far from glamorous. Founder and CEO of Stigma Fighters, a non-profit organization that encourages individuals with mental illness to share their personal stories, Sarah Fader, reflects on Sammi's video from the perspective of someone who has both lived with a mental illness and as someone who has delved into countless mental illness stories. Sarah explains exactly how not glamorous mental illness is, and why understanding this fact is so very important. Take a look at what Sarah has to say about the juxtaposition of the stigma of mental illness and the glamorization of it.
—The VProud Team
It's Not "Cool" to Have a Mental Illness,
But It is Real Life
By Sarah Fader for VProudI loved Sammi Adam's video about the glamorization of mental illness. The media has a tendency to glamorize people living with mental illness. Adams references Kurt Cobain as an example. Amanda Bynes is another celebrity who comes to mind. The media made it look as if Bynes' erratic behavior made her a more colorful and interesting person. Meanwhile, I would venture to guess living in her head everyday is not so easy.
Mental illness is not at all glamorous, but rather it is a reality that many of us—one in four Americans, to be exact—have to live with. I don't have a choice as to whether I have a panic disorder or not. I have it, and it's a matter of dealing with it. I choose to take medication and go to therapy on a weekly basis to manage the anxiety that I am genetically predisposed to.
Adams makes a great point that it can be fairly mundane living with mental illness. Once one has a treatment plan that works for her, it's simply a matter of following said treatment plan. Think about someone who is living with diabetes. They are monitored by a physician and their insulin levels are checked frequently. The same goes for those of us living with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses. We see our practitioners and we let them know how we are feeling and if our treatment plan needs to be adjusted.
There is nothing awesome about waking up with my heart racing for no apparent reason. In fact, quite frankly, it sucks. I would rather not have panic, but the reality is that I have it. It is a part of who I am. Does it annoy me? Absolutely. Would I change it? No. Here's why. It also makes me an empathetic person. It allows me to understand others who are living with anxiety and it has led me to my work.
Today I am the CEO and Founder of the mental health non-profit Stigma Fighters. One of our goals within the organization is to normalize mental illness. We want to show the world that you can live a remarkable life and still have Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses that have been severely stigmatized. If you are living with a mental illness, please know that you are not alone. There are so many of us out there who are coping in our own ways.
About the author: Sarah Fader is a native New Yorker who enjoys naps, talking to strangers, and caring for her two small humans and two average-sized cats. Sarah is the CEO and Founder of Stigma Fighters, a non-profit organization that encourages individuals with mental illness to share their personal stories. She is an author and blogger, having been featured on Psychology Today, The Huffington Post, HuffPost Live, and Good Day New York. She is the editor of The Stigma Fighters Anthology, a collection of essays from real people living with mental illness. Like six million other Americans, Sarah lives with panic disorder. Through Stigma Fighters, Sarah hopes to change the world, one mental health stigma at a time. Join Sarah's honest conversations on VProud.

Now watching The Called (Rod Stafford)
To be called by Jesus is a call to be fanatically radical. Popular culture calls fanatically radical religious people overbearing, condescending, narrow-minded, self-righteous, and abusive. The radical good news of the gospel is what Jesus did on your behalf so you can be saved. And, it's a call to follow Jesus's radical example to be fanatically humble, wise, sensitive, loving, and sacrificial; especially to those who oppose you. The world will not call you fanatically radical.

Everyone is not supposed to live up to your ideal for them. Some will surpass what you see them as. Some will fall short of every goal you put in front of them. The question is, can you accept this? If you can, you will have a peaceful life.
The concept of acceptance is deeper than you think.
Bear in mind that just because you accept does not mean that you stop trying. Likewise, just because you try, doesn't mean you can't accept.

Adding to my reading list!
This is a sequel to the justifiably popular and charming book The Rosie Project, now being made into a movie.
Like the previous book, this one is narrated by Don Tillman. In the sequel, this 41-year-old genetics professor from Melbourne, Australia is now working at New York's Columbia University. Don has been married to Rosie Jarman for ten months when she announces she is pregnant.
Don is "wired differently than most people," possibly having Asperger's syndrome. He avers that he recognizes some of the symptoms in his own personality traits, but adds:
…humans consistently over recognize patterns and draw erroneous conclusions based on them. I had also, at various times, been labeled schizophrenic, bipolar, an OCD sufferer, and a typical Gemini."
However, it is undoubted that empathy and human contact are somewhat problematic for Don, as are social skills [sic] like dishonesty and deceit. He also is not good…

June Reynolds, group operations director of Nationwide Window Cleaning (NWC), takes a look at the latest trends and developments in window cleaning
No longer can anyone with a bucket and a triple wooden ladder leaving calling cards be successful as a commercial window cleaner. Our profession has come of age. Health & safety, service delivery, operational efficiency and accurate management information are top priorities, bringing many benefits to the window cleaner, service provider and clients.
Window cleaning is technology led. Strict regulation, improved training and full compliance means that it is a far more professional and safer business for everyone. Technology has turned the operator with a ladder, bucket, bottle of Fairy and squeegee into a business where most window and gutter cleaning is now carried out from ground level. When this is impossible, technology takes over with mobile elevated working platforms (MEWPs) – spiders and cherry pickers.
Goodbye to ladders
Today NWC uses ladders as a last resort when absolutely necessary. They are signed in and out of the business with a full audit trail. Water fed pole systems are the favourite method as there are no risks of accidents from working at heights. Today poles can reach 60 foot, that's 4 or 5 floors high and can be worked safely by one man from a van.
The quality of water used is key. All our vans have water deionising units fitted before being sent out. Deionising removes all chlorine, fluoride and impurities so that the water sprayed on the glass cleans it perfectly first time – something you cannot always appreciate from ground level.
Out go chairs and cradles
Bosun's Chairs and Cradles, were viewed as 'the future' for high rise window cleaning, but they are rapidly going out in favour of abseiling which requires no ugly equipment hanging on to a building's skyline and no heavy installation and maintenance costs.
The recognised accreditation for abseil in the UK is IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) and NWC has been an accredited member company for 3 years. This enables us to work with companies such as CBRE that have incredibly strict abseil policies. We employ 18 abseilers nationally working in teams led by IRATA Level 3 highly qualified men and all are IRATA trained professionals.
Indoor high level cleaning such as atriums is carried out using specialist access machines which vary dependant on the building restrictions, where load bearing weight may be an issue due to the presence of expensive floor tiles or underground car parks. Ultra-light 'spider' machines can now reach to c. 42 metres and have many safety and cost advantages.
'Best practice' is always our favoured solution and if it means some extra staff training, purchase of equipment or systems that's OK. FM and property management companies constantly ask about regulations and methodology because they don't want risks taken by sub-contractors. They expect an effective, competitive window cleaning service that delivers week after week. 100% compliance is essential, because if one service provider fails on a multi-service FM contract it can endanger the whole account.
To provide customers with real-time reassurance we use electronic proof of delivery and integrated CAFM systems with input from all UK operatives. We use a suite of management information as evidence of strict compliance to KPIs and SLAs.
What are the regulations?
We have constantly changing regulations including Working at Heights, HSE Guidelines, British Standards, IRATA (for abseiling) and others. Our strategy is to have the best trained, most committed team in the UK, so all supervisors and managers are trained as a minimum to IOSH accreditation.
All operatives attend monthly refresher days to discuss issues and share information, new working procedures and regulations and 'topics of the month'. They include winter driving, maintaining standards, health and safety, company developments and new equipment. It is a good forum to raise issues and concerns before they become problems. Now in its second year NWC operates its own bespoke Management Development Programme.
If anything in this article rings alarm bells about your window cleaning consider checking your supplier for shortcuts on health and safety, training, operator qualifications, safety records, the use of deionised water, frequency of cleaning, proof of delivery and annual cost.

Do you have fond memories of family summer vacations at the cottage spent swimming in the lake, building sand castles on the beach, or fishing on the dock? Do you envision your children and grand-children making similar memories there for years to come, even after you're gone?
If your wish is to pass on your recreational property to your children (or someone other than your spouse), keep in mind there are tax implications. Half of the capital gains on a cottage or vacation property are included in your income. Depending on the province you live in, the taxable portion could be taxed at up to 50 per cent. You might not be in the highest tax bracket, but the impact can still be significant.
You can't avoid capital gains tax by selling your home and making your cottage your primary residence. And selling the cottage to your children for a token amount of $1 won't help either. But there are things you can do to help minimize taxes on your estate.
Here's one way. Let's say there's $50,000 of tax owing from the capital gain on your cottage when your children inherit it. If you had purchased a $50,000 last-to-die life insurance policy with your spouse, your children would get a $50,000 tax-free death benefit after both of you pass away. That money could be used to cover the tax on the capital gain.
Another strategy is to buy a life insurance policy, and name a charity as the beneficiary. Because charitable donations can be applied against up to 100 per cent of your net income in the year of death, the donation credit from the death benefit could reduce or even eliminate the tax bill. The end result: your children, as beneficiaries of the estate, would take over the cottage without having to worry about selling it to cover the taxes.
These are only two of the options available. As a Sun Life Financial advisor, I can help you decide the best route to take and how much life insurance you need to protect the value of your recreational property. Everyone's legacy will look different.
I can help you tailor your legacy plan to address your unique goals and provide solutions for a tax-efficient transfer of your estate.
