Several assistance programs are available from Flat River Outreach Ministries for needy families. The charity organization can provide support to residents, often in partnership with other agencies in Kent County. Some examples of what may be provided includes Neighbor to Neighbor for paying heating bills, emergency rental assistance, food, and more.
A key service is their financial assistance program. It offers help to those families from the community that are experiencing an emergency or financial difficulties due to the challenging economy. Help is available for paying expenses such as a missed rent payment mortgage, utilities or heating bills and various other needs.
For families that qualify for this Flat River Outreach Ministries resource, no individual funding is provided as all of the payments are made directly to the landlord or provider of the service. In some cases, a loan is issued by the agency. In any case funds are limited, but dial 616-897-8260 to contact an Engagement Coach.
Note that when seeking help, Flat River Outreach Ministries offers financial assistance at most once per year, however exceptions can be made by the organization based on special circumstances/needs and funding. Additional services may be coordinated with partner organizations such as churches in Kent County or ACCESS 6. If the applicant needs assistance that is beyond the scope of their resources, then Engagement Coaches work to connect those individuals with other community agencies who may be of assistance to the applicant.
There are several seasonal programs for families in need of assistance during specific times of the year, such as the Christmas distribution mentioned below. These programs may be reviewed via the FROM calendar, or residents of Kent County can dial 616-897-8260 for further information.
The Christmas Distribution service is available each December. Flat River Outreach Ministries offers food baskets and access to a toy shop during the holiday for those low income and working poor families unable to celebrate the season. Many people can't provide a meal or gift to their child due to financial hardship, such as unemployment, or difficult circumstances, and this Christmas service can help fill that need.
This free holiday distribution of food or gifts is available to low income and struggling families living in the Lowell School District. Also, the Christmas food baskets containing groceries/meals and the other access to the toy shop is available to income qualified families with children under the age of 18.
Neighbor to Neighbor is a program that helps with paying energy bills. It is partnership with the Rotary Club of Lowell and the Lowell Ledger, and the goal is to help low income families reduce heating and other energy costs during the winter months. As part of Neighbor to Neighbor, home repair projects are also available which includes replacing windows, installing/repairing/patching roofs and installing new furnaces to eligible homes.
FROM offers the free use of medical equipment as part of Michigan Loan Closets, and this is available to families who cannot pay high deductibles or are otherwise uninsured. The non-profit's Medical Equipment Program has teamed up with state of Michigan Loan Closets to allow eligible individuals from Kent County to borrow specific items free of charge as long as medically necessary.
The supply of items available for distribution will vary over the course of the year. Items currently available to loan out include hospital beds, shower chairs, wheelchairs,canes and crutches. Equipment is available for pickup during regular office hours or by calling 616-897-8260.
Flat River Outreach Ministries Treasures Thrift Shop offers families access to gently used goods. The store may have furniture, clothing and housewares, and the items are sold at significantly reduced prices to people in the community. All profits from the same of goods are given to Lowell Michigan area families, which is effect is making every purchase a benefit to neighbors who are facing financial hardships.
A Backpack Distribution service is available for students and children. Hundreds of children from lower income families families that are facing financial hardships receive new backpacks and school supplies. The program will help client's prepare them each year for a successful school year ahead.
With partners including the United Way and the federal government branch of the IRS, FROM offers free tax preparation and e-filing as part of VITA Tax Program. This is a resource for low to moderate income households in Kent County. Certified volunteers work with consumers to maximize tax credits and refunds that they may receive on their returns.
The are several resources that focus on Feeding Families. There is aid for individuals living on limited income or facing a financial crisis, and these families be provided by FROM with no-cost, nutritious food or groceries. This will free up their income, thereby making their money otherwise available to pay utilities, medical bills, rent/mortgages, car payments, etc.
There are a few different food programs available, and they can reach people of all ages in the greater Lowell area. These four programs are the Foodmobile, Summer Lunch Program, client choice Food Pantry and Commodities. These all provide groceries and nutritional support to those with limited financial resources.
The Client Choice Food Pantry indicated above is for families, senior citizens or individuals facing an emergency, and it is for residents living in the Lowell School District.

Radio Meghna 98.4 was inagurated by H. E. Hasanul Huq Inu, MP, the Honorable Minister of Ministry of Information of Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on February 18, 2015 at Charfassion, Bhola Island, Bangladesh. This 15th community radio station in Bangladesh was initiated by the Coastal Association for Social Transformation(COAST) Trust.
Also present at the inaguration ceremony were H. E. Abdullah Al Islam Jacob, MP, Deputy Minister of Environment and Forest; Mr. Mortuza Ahmad, the honorable Information Secretary; Mr. Abdul Karim, Managing Director of Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF); Mr. Kazi Akhtar Uddin Ahmed, Director General of Bangladesh Betar; Dr. Akram Hossain Chowdhury, former Member of Parliament; Ms. Farah Kabir, Country Director of Action Aid Bangladesh; Mr. Asgar Ali Sabri, Director of Action Aid Bangladesh; Mr. Ziaul Huq Mukta, Regional Policy Coordinator of Oxfam, GB Asia; AHM Bazlur Rahman- S21BR, Chief Executive Officer of Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC); Mr. Ahmed Swapan Mahmud, Executive Director of VOICE.
Both the honorable Minister of Information and the honorable Deputy Minister of Environment and Forest addressed those present at the inauguration ceremony. Following the unveiling of the name plate and the commencement of broadcasting the guests participated in a discussion session at Brajagopal Town Hall, Charfassion. This session was jointly hosted by COAST Trust, Upazila Council of Charfassion and Charfassion Municipality and was chaired by Mr. Rezaul Karim Chowdhury- S21K, the Executive Director of COAST Trust. Also present at the discussion were the Mr. Selim Reza, Deputy Comissioner of Bhola District, and Mr. Kamruzzaman, Police Super of Bhola.
On behalf of the community, COAST made a presentation on how this community radio station can contribute towards establishing security for sea-going fishermen from life threatening piracy and cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. COAST also presented how the community can play an important role to end the digital divide and pave the way for Digital Justice in the rural and remote island community.
Some key demands raised from the discussion were: (1) increase the transmission power from 100 watt to at least 250 watt so that the broadcast can cover the sea going boats and small islanders; (2) release the Universal Obligatory Fund and allow the community radios access to this fund to serve the people who are deprived of tele-services; (3) create a scope towards working to end the digital divide and establish digital justice; and, (4) declare the airwaves as a Common Public Good and allow the non-profit community media to use it more than the profit making commercial media.
So far there are 14 community radio stations on-air in Bangladesh which are aiming to ensure empowerment and the right to information for the rural communities. They are broadcasting for a total of 120 hours per day with programs focusing on information, education, local entertainment and development activities. Around 1000 young women and youths are now working with those stations throughout the country as rural broadcasters out of 4.6 million rural people in 67 upazillas under 13 districts. Another 17 community radio stations will start broadcast by end the 2015.
Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC) is promoting advocacy with the government in relation to community radio with other organizations since its emergence from 2000. BNNRC has been addressing the community radio and community TV access issue for over a decade, helping to bridge the information gap of rural Bangladesh with the support from Free Press Unlimited.

Five For Friday - On Saturday/
It's Saturday. We know. We were just galavanting around San Francisco with our exchange student yesterday and didn't get our Five for Friday post to you this week. Forgive us?
Speaking of exchange students, you can hear why we are so passionate about hosting them on our Episode 8: Homeschooling With Exchange Students.
Our Five for Friday this week is a bit thematic, drawing from our most recent episode, Let's Talk Sex . . . Again:
4 Lies the Church Taught Me About Sex - by Lily Dunn
She grew up evangelical and she thinks the church could be doing a way better job talking about sex. Us, too.
How to Celebrate Sexual Freedom in Your Marriage - by Shannon Ethridge
"God wants you and your spouse to feel sexually free together, and to celebrate that freedom by enjoying great sex regularly. Here's how you can do so . . . "
14 Things to Know Before You Cheat - by Rod Arters
The reality of adultery is never pretty and is always destructive. If you're tempted to cheat on your spouse, here are 14 things to consider before you run in that direction.
What is Sex? - by Barrett Johnson
"A recent study showed that 88% of single adults in their 20's have had sex. When they looked at Christian single adults, that number dropped to 80%. Whoopie. I guess that for most of our kids, true love doesn't wait after all."
We tend to think that men and porn go together but what about women? Do women - even women in the church - have a porn problem, too? Yes. Yes, they do.
What resonates most with you?

They cannot afford to pay for proper dental insurance, so whenever they need dental treatments they simply cannot have access to it. This is why Lynn County supervisors have just introduced a new dental health program.
This new dental program is offered by the National Association of Counties, and residents of Lynn County can now procure the so called dental discount cards. Supervisors foresee that there will be at least 1,000 users every month, and the program is going to be very successful mainly because so many people struggle and do not have access to proper dental care.
This is called the NACo Dental Discount Card, and in order to have access to discounted dental treatments, people will need to pay a set membership fee. Individuals will have to pay $59, while families will need to pay $69 to get this card.
With the help of the NACo dental discount card, people will get instant discounts at the dentist for services such as dental examinations, professional dental cleanings, dentures, crowns, fillings or extractions. By showing this card at the dentist, they will be eligible to receive discounts between 5% and up to 50% off the regular price for the treatments.
People who cannot afford to pay $59 or $69 for the annual membership fee at once, can opt to pay smaller monthly amounts such as $5 or $6 per month to get the card. The dental discount card will be available through the Linn County Offices, and a full list including the participating dental practices will be published online, on the website of Lynn County.
If you own the dental discount card, whenever you go to the dentist, you will just need to show your card and you will receive instant discounts. These low cost advantageous cards are perfect for people who do not have dental insurance.
Underinsured and uninsured residents will surely be able to take advantage of the low cost treatments but it is extremely important to mention that this is a discount card and does not work as an insurance coverage product. Both children and adults can get advantage of the discounts offered through the dental discount cards soon available in Lynn County.

Nevada's Governor Vetoes 'Medicaid for All' Insurance Plan
Bill would have allowed any state resident to buy into Medicaid
Nevada's Republican governor vetoed a bill late Friday that would have created the nation's first "Medicaid for all" insurance offering, a plan that drew widespread attention as states brace for changes in the federal Affordable Care Act.
The bill would have allowed any state resident to buy into Medicaid, the federal-state program for people with low incomes or disabilities. The idea, which its Democratic sponsor said would have created a guaranteed health coverage option that was affordable, has drawn the interest of other...

Afghanistan U-19 cricket team defeated their Bangladeshi counterparts by five wickets on Monday to level the five-match ODI series 1-1.
Sent to bowl first by Bangladesh who won the toss, Afghanistan bowled out the hosts in 30.4 overs from which they scored 75 at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Captain Naveen-ul-Haq was the pick of the bowlers for Afghanistan with his three wickets. For Bangladesh, Mahidul Islam Ankon (25) and captain Saif Hassan (22) were their only double-digit scorers.
Chasing 76-run target, Afghanistan were looking to struggle as they lost three wickets in the first five overs having made only 12.
However, Darwish Rasooli hit 35 (not out) while Nisar Wahdat helped with 15 to power their side to victory in the third ODI of the tour.
With the win, Afghanistan levelled the series 1-1. The first match was won by Bangladesh while the second was cancelled due to rain.
The next match of the series will be played on Wednesday.

I am a fan of, and have friends who are huge into Phish, and they know Buffett is my favorite and when we discuss the tour or even a 3 span show, I always wish Buffett did the same when it comes to playing different setlists, keeping fans itching for the next song, fans travelling around for different shows and seeing multiple shows in order to chase the perfect show.
Obviously the fan bases are different, as are the casual concert goers to the shows than Phish, but I always think it would be cool to be able to write about seeing a certain song that hasnt been played in so long, or that in Orlando they played this but not in Jacksonville. Just think if he only played Volcano like 3-4 shows a tour! Those fans would go insane!
Not that the fans dont do that now for many songs if not all of them.
Just my thoughts and ramblings. Almost 5 oclock!!!

We all know about the Pareto Principle, which gives us the 80-20 rule. As per the rule, 80% of revenue is brought by 20% of the salespeople and perhaps by selling 20% of the products manufactured by a company.
- What happens to the 80% of salespeople, who are not sitting idle but generating some revenue to the company?
- What happens to the 80% of other products that may not have as much demand as the other 20%, but still manage to cater to some customers?
This is where the concept of "Long Tail" becomes relevant. In an article for the "Wired" magazine, Chris Anderson proposed the idea of "long tail". According to him, the Internet has changed the way products are sold by sellers and the way products are purchased by customers.
Courtesy: www.thelongtail.com
E-commerce has changed the way we look at market space
In the traditional brick and mortar stores, organizations would stock products that fetch maximum revenue. As a result, consumers who are looking for niche products may not find it at a store close by. However, in the day of e-commerce, consumers now have the power to decline the brick and mortar store nearby that does not cater to their specific requirement and order the niche products online.
What one needs to consider here is that in a small area, the number of customers going in for online stores, may be insignificant. However, when you put together the combined numbers across a wider geographical area, the numbers could be quite significant! It would not be prudent for organizations to overlook the potential of this group of customers. They may not have had the logistical options earlier, but now they do with the Internet and e-commerce.
To prove his point, Andersen cites the example of Amazon.com that carries not just best sellers but niche books catering to their customers in the 'long tail'. Thus, most organizations have diversified into e-commerce making their products available online to tap into the market of customers lost in the 'long tail'. In a way, they have found a market for the 80% of the 'so-called' not popular products online.
E-learning & M-learning can change the way we look at the learning space
Coming to the 80% of 'so-called' sales persons who are not among the top, what do we see in a typical organization – let's say an insurance company? The top performing agents get awards, recognition, and training at exotic locations. Organizations do incur a lot of expenditure in arranging such training programs.
The 80%, who have not performed up to the mark, do not get anything – except for a bit of commission that they would have earned selling insurance policies. All the training that they would have got was the mandatory training that they need to pass to become insurance agents. Does anyone seriously think about the training needs of these people?
Perhaps the training needs of these salespeople are different, requiring a different approach towards training. Some might require training on building communication skills; others might need to refresh their knowledge of different policies from time to time. For some, bite-sized motivational nuggets would work wonders. Others might need guidance from peers, and a little bit of hand holding and guidance by a mentor might be just right to let them give their best shot. So, a one-size–fits-all type of training content would really not be effective when you are trying to address the training needs of such a large group.
Thanks to eLearning/mLearning, and the multitude of learning technologies that are available today, organizations can attend to the training needs of a larger group of their employees. This not only benefits the employee but the organization as well. With technological advancements, they need to spend only a fraction of the costs that they normally spend for instructor-led training or for sales meets and conferences. A well-trained workforce is likely to improve their performance and propel organizational revenue.
Here are some ways eLearning & mLearning modules can be developed to cater to the wide majority of salespeople and even other employees.
1. Convert existing ILT material that has been used to train a section of employees into eLearning modules so that more number of employees can benefit from the knowledge transfer. You already have the content, you just have to publish it online with authoring tools like Articulate and iSpring.
2. Divide them into small modules focusing on a single concept or a message. Create mobile-compatible nuggets that could work wonders as performance support – key customer objections and how to overcome them, key product benefits catering to the specific customer segment, etc. Since salespeople are usually working on field, they would benefit from this just-in-time information.
3. These small modules function as RLOs, that is, Reusable Learning Objects that can address varied needs of employees. For example, senior salespeople do not have to go through the very basic modules involving sales process, detailed information about products, target customers and organizational approach towards selling, etc. They can straightaway go to the module that shares scenarios where crossselling or bundling options are addressed.
4. Upload the training modules on to the Learning Management System, ensure that the courses are catalogued well so that they are searchable with key words, add additional resources such as tips for selling, market updates, competition updates and such other information to make the content dynamic and relevant. In short, the LMS should be the place that salespeople check just before getting on to the field so that they know they are going on to the field with current information.
5. Create collaborative tools, chat rooms, groups for niche communities of practice, links to social media where employees can meet and exchange information, share experiences and learn from peers. Mobile workforce would truly feel empowered having access to information and support in their hands!
Setting up such a system initially requires some amount of time and resources, but once the system is in place, it goes a long way to empower employees with up-to-date knowledge. The advantageous part of eLearning or mLearning is that you don't have to make huge investments at the outset. Organizations can start small with one course and expand to other courses, based on the response they receive from employees.
Don't you agree that eLearning and mLearning enable organizations to overcome the limitations of traditional classroom training programs that cater to only 20% of their employee segment? Online training format provides knowledge transfer to the rest of the 80% of their workforce and that too with a fraction of the costs of traditional face to face programs. Please share your thoughts.

Offering a cosmic glimpse into the hidden patterning embedded in everything, Occult Architecture reflects the harmonious duality of these light and dark energies through the Chinese theory of Yin and Yang.
In Chinese, Yin means "the shady side of the hill" and is associated with the feminine, darkness, night, earth. Following this logic, Vol. 1 embraces and embodies Moon Duo's darker qualities — released appropriately on February 3, in the heart of winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
According to guitarist Ripley Johnson, "the concept of the dark/light, two-part album came as we were recording and mixing the songs, beginning in the dead of winter and continuing into the rebirth and blossoming of the spring. There's something really powerful about the changing of the seasons in the Northwest, the physical and psychic impact it has on you, especially after we spent so many years in the seasonal void of California. I became interested in gnostic and hermetic literature around that time, especially the relationship between music and occult qualities and that fed into the whole vibe."
Adds keyboardist Sanae Yamada, "the two parts are also intended to represent inverted components of a singular entity, like two faces on the same head which stare always in opposite directions but are inextricably driven by the same brain."
Vol. 1 was mixed in Berlin by the band's longtime collaborator Jonas Verwijnen.

I am very pleased to introduce you to Quality Metals (QM).
When I started in the metal industry over 20 years ago, I never imagined I would be where I am today. Throughout my career, I have had the fortunate opportunity of working with many talented individuals, in every aspect of the metal building and roofing industry; from manufacturing to management.
During this past decade, we've experienced extraordinary growth and change here at QM, thanks largely to our continued commitment to teamwork, service and product strategies and to our policy of placing the trust of our customers above all else.
We've successfully reached key milestones, quintupled our sales, increased our customer database, achieved significant advancements and strengthened our position as Distribution-Service Center and Metal Building-Roofing Manufacturer. Even in the face of challenging economic conditions, we're finding new ways to take advantage of the evolving industry to ensure QM remains the brightest light on the hill.
The foundation of QM is built on four key principles:
1. Offer a high Quality product to the market place
2. Provide customers with a level of Service unsurpassed in the industry
3. Relationships are the key to success
4. Competitive Prices
The commitment to all our customers and associates is to keep investing in new state of the art equipment, training personnel and give an added value in all our procedures to ensure the development of new products, increase the flexibility to respond promptly and to offer the best technical service support.
The success of QM is going to depend on the cooperative effort of everyone involved in the business cycle. Our measurement of this success will be the relationships we forge and maintain, not only with our customers, but among our employees and vendors as well. Our first priority is to develop long-term relationships that foster the growth of all parties involved.
We look forward to building an exciting future together.

On a Green Tip!
It's officially spring, and we're really thinking about green. However, we're not thinking green in terms colour. No, we're thinking of ways we can become more environmentally conscious as a company.
We've been doing some research, and we've found a way we can incorporate using recycled plastics in our products in the coming years. Recycled plastics, won't only reduce the costs of manufacturing and price point, but will benefit the earth too!
Here are just a few reasons why everyone should be recycling and consider using recycled plastic products:
Recycling Plastics Conserves Energy and Our Natural Resources
Recycling plastics reduces the amount of energy and natural resources used to create new products.
Recycling Plastics Saves Landfill Space
Recycling plastic products also keeps them out of landfills and allows the plastics to be reused in manufacturing new products.
Recycling Plastics is Easy
We have easy access to a plastics recycling program, whether we participate in a municipal curbside program or live near a drop-off site.

Ullapool and Loch Broom
Ullapool is a busy and also the largest town on the north west highlands of Scotland. It is a wonderful location for a holiday and the town's population increases dramatically in the summer months with tourists using it as a base to explore the west highlands area of Wester Ross and further north, Sutherland.
Ullapool's harbour is an important fishing and ferry port, the ferry connects Ullapool to Stornoway in North Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides. Coastal cruises around the Summer Islands and nature watching trips is available and during the summer months early booking is advisable. You can see seals, dolphins and occasionally whales on these adventure trips as well as sea eagles and the beautiful coastal areas and islands that are near Ullapool.
The area offers plenty to see and do with pony trekking, boat hire, cycling and sea, loch and river fishing all available nearby. With several munros in this location those who love hill walking will find many walks available suitable for all levels of experience, An Teallach is around 30 minutes drive where well marked hill walking routes will take you into wilderness areas.

In the town are several hotels, pubs and restaurants that will make you welcome, there is also shops where you can stock up with anything needed for camping and self-catering holidays. On a personal level I love having fish and chips and enjoying eating them while looking over the harbour and Loch Broom. If you want to enjoy company then you will find ceilidh nights with music offered in some of the hotels and pubs.

Welo opal was the most admired gem at the Tucson gem show last year and this gorgeous ring demonstrates why.
The Opal:
There are many ways to present opal on line using enhancement techniques such as coloured lights and dye to make opals appear to be much more than they are when you see it on your hand.
I have chosen to present natural opals--unmolested in any way-- opals photographed in natural light with no enhancements whatsoever.What you see is what you get.
Opals naturally offer their various colours by turning the stone--and you know you have a good one when you hold it at arms length and see good colour.Gems that do this are far more expensive than those that are dull or show just one colour.Close inspection of this opal as shown in images reveal many colours at play.
The Setting:
A very elegant and feminine design with offset shanks and with a pair of round natural diamond cut London Blue Topaz companions.
This ring will entrance all who see it.

The Coordinated Approach to Investigations and Information-Sharing (CAIIS) Project conducted research to clarify roles and responsibilities for investigating child abuse and neglect in 24-hour facilities. The goal of the project was to develop, refine, and disseminate model guidelines for investigating institutional child abuse and neglect reports in Texas. A pilot test was planned in which reporting forms were to be completed before and after a six month period of using the model guidelines in two regions. The data collected during the pilot test failed to substantiate high levels of compliance with the requirements of the model guidelines, partly due to shortcomings in the implementation of the project. Some positive impact was found on the reporting of abuses, but not on investigations. Investigation procedures of the Texas Youth Council, Texas School for the Deaf, and the Office of Youth Care Investigations are outlined as these agencies reportedly implemented the guidelines. Although the model guidelines were not formally validated, they were later adopted by all child-caring agencies in Texas. The evaluation makes recommendations, including statutory and regulatory changes, to correct fragmentation of reporting procedures that may affect levels of protection of children in 24-hour care facilities.(Author/CB)

Meet our Researchers
Current Research Team
Aysha Dhala
Westland Researcher | Masters Student
Background: Aysha is currently enrolled as a student at Adler University in the Master's of Counselling Psychology program, and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies from Simon Fraser University. She is a Leather hetero-queer, progressive humanist feminist, passionate about providing service to LGBQAI2+, Trans*, kink explorers, fetishizers, and the BDSM community.
Why Sexuality: Besides sex therapy, she is passionate about sexual health education and sex-positive activism. She is a sexual pluralist, and a kinky Switch (both a Sadist and service bottom) and has been mentored and formally trained in a broad spectrum of Sadomasochistic activities, except rope.
Topics of interest: High protocol power exchange relationships i.e. Masters/slaves, Gor, Leatherpeople, Dominants/submissives, individuals with paraphilias, and other fringe or alternative sexualities.
Mason Shell
Westland Researcher | Masters Student
Background: Mason graduated from the University of Alberta in 2014 with an undergraduate degree in Sociology and Psychology. Since then, he has taken various training courses and workshops in psychotherapy. Currently, he is attending Adler University and is earning his MA in Counselling Psychology.
Why Sexuality Research: Because sexuality is something both very important and highly personal to most individuals, Mason believes that building on the knowledge regarding sexuality in the counselling field is crucial in order to better facilitate effective and fruitful therapy. Presently, there is a lack of accessible professional training regarding sex in a clinical counselling setting, and Mason hopes to help fill that void with practical, insightful, and empirically based information for professionals.
Topics of Interest: In sex therapy, ethical non-monogamy is currently his focus. He is also interested more generally in trauma, mood, personality, and psychotic disorders, and how these might influence sexual concerns brought forth to sex therapy sessions.
Adrianna Xue
Westland Researcher | Undergraduate Student
Background: Adrianna is currently completing her BA with a major in Psychology and a minor in Critical Studies in Sexuality at the University of British Columbia. She is also currently volunteering at the UBC Sexual Health Lab as a research assistant.
Why Sexuality Research? She believes that sexual health is an important aspect of personal well being that is often overlooked. She aims to rid the stigmatization of sex and sexual health, and hopes to encourage more casual discourse on sexual education. She wishes to contribute to sex research in graduate studies and advocate for sex positivity, self esteem, and sexual empowerment for people of all orientations and genders.
Topics of Interest: While her main research interests focus on sexual health and she hopes to further the development of sex research in Canada, her interests also include polyamorous relationship frameworks, sexual education, and sexual themes in literature and other contemporary media outlets.
Alaina Chun
Westland Researcher | Undergraduate Student
Background: Alaina is currently completing her last year of her undergraduate degree at University of British Columbia but will be graduating from the University of Western Ontario in May 2017. She is currently pursuing a double major in biology and GRSJ (gender, race, sexuality and social justice). In her spare time, she tutors children and volunteers in the downtown east side.
Why Sexuality Research: Alaina eventually plans to work in women's health and believes that sexuality is a large and often overlooked part of this field. She believes that sex education should be more inclusive and more sex positive. She is thrilled to be part of a team that promotes both of these things and works to destigmatize sexuality.
Topics of interest: Alaina is particularly interested in the anatomical systems of the body as they pertain to sex, unconventional relationships and the female orgasm – anatomically and the social stigma surrounding it.
Simone Deahl
Westland Researcher
Background: Simone holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Ottawa. She lives in Toronto, where she works as a caregiver for people with disabilities.
Why Sexuality: As an undergraduate student, Simone took classes with sex therapist Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz and was inspired by her stories. She wants to become a sex therapist herself, and be able to help people understand themselves and find healing, joy, and intimacy.
Topics of interest: Optimal sexual experience, female libido, and the impact of systems of privilege and power on sex and relationships.
Qingsheng Qiu (Ryan)
Westland Researcher
Background: Ryan recently graduated from University of British Columbia with a BA in psychology. He currently works full time for a gaming company but plans to return to school to become a sex therapist.
Why sexuality research: Ryan grew up in an open-minded family in which sex was a normal dinner table conversation topic. He realized that a lot of the stigmas and judgement that people have against other people's life choices are often times a result of lack of knowledge. He believes that everyone has as much right to pursue pleasure with their body, as they do with the mind. That a conversation or a Tweet about sex should be treated the same as one about songs or books. He believes that in order to eliminate shame and stigmas, we need to start by normalizing sex through education and communication with an open mind.
Topics of interest: The many expressions of orgasm and the relation they have to psychology and anatomy. Exploring the representation of sex in gender power imbalance and mental health and wellness for Sex workers and how that relates therapy practice.
Interested in joining our passionate volunteer research team? We have a variety of roles available for enthusiastic students, advocates, and allies looking to lend their research skills and gain additional experience, join team consultations, and increase their knowledge in the field of sex and sexuality. Contact us here for more information.

Mermaid Artists 2 – Peg Maltby
... well to be honest, Peg Maltby is strictly speaking, more of a fairy artist than a mermaid artist but she did create this wonderful baby mermaid and water fairies piece for her short story "Fun Under the Sea" in her gorgeous book Peg's Fairy Book, which was published in Australia in 1946. I have a copy and I used to look at these pictures over and over again when I was a little girl. I showed Jozef the other day and he was captivated by them, especially this lovely illustration. What I didn't know was that this book sold over 100,000 copies in its time. It was reprinted again in the mid 1970s but it's difficult to get copies of either version now (although it is showing up by some resellers on Amazon, which will cost you a pretty penny).

I have a 6 months old netbook . When I start the netbook I have a black screen with a message "Smart hard Disk Error. The Smart hard disk check has detected an imminent failur. The day before this message came up I went on an internetside for puzzle.
I run the Hard Disk Test in System diagnostics but I still have the black screen with coming up the same message
Many thanks in advance
The message is telling you the hard drive failed. Since it's only 6 months old, it's probably still under warranty. Return it or have it repaired.
Thanks you very much for you reply. I am going to exchange the netbook and get a new one

Chances are that if you look around the homes of people you know, somewhere there is a print or painting of a still life. In simple terms, a still life is the depiction of something that is natural or man made but is inanimate. The most common images that come to mind are pictures of fruit, or flowers in a vase. Pottery, and kitchen items also seem to be popular. If you Google "still life painting" you will see hundreds of examples.
In todays age, you can re-create or invent your own still life image with your camera. It is a great exercise in learning how to compose a shot, and also a great lesson in using natural light. Over the past weekend I tried it for myself and so I want to share with you how to do a basic still life photo.
You will need to collect a single item, or a small collection of things that tell a story or have visual interest. You will also need a solid surface, and a very plain background. This allows the objects to be the focus, and not the background. Most people recommend a plain piece of fabric. Black velvet seems to be most popular. You could also use a plain wall if no fabric is available. You will see at times that backgrounds are slightly more elaborate, but the key will always remain that the objects are the primary focus. I suggest you keep it simple to begin with.
You will also need the light from a window, and most of the time a still life works best when the light source is at the side of the objects. This adds depth, texture and dimension to the items and helps create a mood. I usually use a south facing window which at this time of year always has diffused light. You may need to experiment with various windows, times of day, and even during different weather situations in order to get the best light as you will not be using your flash.
Once you have found a window and a surface, place your backdrop and start arranging your items. You will most likely need to arrange and rearrange the items until you feel they are telling the story you are hoping to achieve. You may need to add or take away something that doesn't look right, so keep at it until it feels correct.
Now grab your camera, no matter whether it is a Point and Shoot, Digital SLR, or even your iPhone and start taking photos of your arrangement. Have fun with it. Take the images from all different angles. Looking down, in front of, from the sides, at various heights, etc. The lighting will be different from all these different angles, and therefore so will the feeling in the photo. If you have sheers on your window pull them open or closed for another layer of different light. Just remember too harsh of lighting will wash out the objects, and too dark will not allow the items to expose properly.
As with all things in photography, practice and have fun. I myself, know too well that some of my best shots happen by accident, and some of my most planned shots turn out…..well.. less than desirable. But I enjoy the process, and hope you do too.

We're a full-service creative agency focused on the wine industry. From brand inception to websites, packaging, and print design, we can help communicate your brand to the world.
Want to Stand Out?
Your winery's brand message is often modified by users across the universe of sites including mobile apps, marketing agents, ecommerce portals, bricks & mortar retailers, blogs, forums and social networks. So how do you stand out? The same passion that you put into the making your wines is mirrored in the story inherent in your wine brand.
Your story is important. Your story is unique, there are no others like it. Work closely with us and allow us to guide you as we research your business and industry, enabling us to deliver the best results.
We have created new brands with incredible success and restaged even more existing brands, maximizing their strategic positioning. We help wineries gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace with branding services that make them stand out in a crowd!
Our Branding Process
Our approach is collaborative. We listen to your goals and dreams, and then create the best plan to accomplish them. We partner with clients to understand your brand insights, and then leverage those to deliver distinctive, customized designs expressing your brand's personality.
Our Solutions
Our brand solutions are aimed at launching new brands and helping existing brands sharpen their position and identity.
Brand Positioning
Through our process of brand positioning, we uncover what your customers can and do think of you, and you alone. Then we show you how to use that thinking in a way that's relevant to your audiences.
Brand identity, logo & wordmark
Your brand identity incorporates the entire breadth of visual components you communicate to your audiences. Creating one that speaks clearly starts with an in-depth understanding of your business and your audiences, and concludes with your logo, colour palette, typography, photography, illustration, online presence and other visual communications.
We'll help you create a corporate identity system, from winery or wine logo design to letterhead and business cards, newsletters and product sheets and everything in between.
Name Generation
A name sparks an emotional connection to communicate a brand's key attributes as a powerful element in establishing its personality. We will help you pinpoint a name that is available, ownable, expressive, free of negative associations, and memorable.
Our Verbal Branding and Naming expertise encompasses brand names, sub-brands, tag lines, descriptors, nomenclature systems, and corporate and brand literature.
Label and Packaging
From the top capsule to the back label, the entire package should be designed with the consumer, the wine and the brand in mind. A strong label should instantly convey the story of what the consumer can expect once they've opened the bottle. Before we even begin to think about designing a label, we gain an understanding of your brand – who you are, where you've been and where you want to be. From there, we'll create a brand strategy to assist in the development of the wine label and its launch.
We carefully consider each aspect of the complete package in relation to your goals and market positioning, to connect with your target audience and stand out in your niche.
Print Marketing Collateral
Print collateral and point of sale material is meant to be noticed, handled, read and re-read. More importantly, it's meant to encourage the consumer to then go out and buy a few bottles of wine. From winery brochures, wine neckers and hang tags to shelf talkers, we'll create a cohesive, effective and attractive point-of-sales system to help move the bottles off the shelf.
Increased noise in the market place and decreased budgets for promotions have put a strain on many company's advertising plans. We've developed many successful programs for brands that make use of existing dollars being spent on production and making those dollars work more effectively through dynamic design and promotional concepts. Our work spans both on and off-premise including in-store displays, neckers, coupons, racks, dealer loaders, waiter incentives and trade and media communications.
Signage programs provide information as a dimensional brand extension within an environment. It is a critical element in a consumer's branding experience that not only fulfills a need for guidance, but also reinforces corporate identity. Our signage portfolio considers context-appropriate materials and solutions for way-finding, identification, instructional, and information signs.
Brand implementation & production
We not only create brands, we also implement them. Enjoy the convenience of having all of your marketing materials produced by the team who developed them (and understands them best). We'll roll out your messaging and identity elements into all of your collateral.
Branded environments
We offer start-to-finish services for high-impact trade show appearances for your winery. From trade shows to retail spaces, branded environments let your customers immerse themselves in your brand experience. Make your trade show investment really count. We'll develop collateral that makes you really stand out from the crowd.
We start the process by helping you articulate your business objectives for your trade show marketing, researching the competition and the real needs of your target market, and then developing a strategy based on your market strengths. We integrate your unique brand position in your exhibit, your event strategy and all related marketing materials. We then build your trade show display based on your brand.

The Anonymous People Film - Jan 7
Post date: Jan 5, 2015 7:20:47 PM
The Anonymous People film highlights addiction recovery of over 23 million Americans;
Patrick Kennedy, NBA Star Chris Herren, & Actress Kristen Johnston are featured.
Chester, VT January 7, 2014 - A FEATURE FILM about the 23.5 million Americans living in
long-term recovery and the emerging public recovery movement will be shown at Green
Mountain Union High School Auditorium on Wednesday, January 7th, 2015 at 6:00pm.
This link connects to the movie trailer: http://www.theanonymouspeople.com.
The Anonymous People features interviews with more than 30 people among the millions in longterm
recovery from drug and alcohol addiction who are making the courageous decision to speak
out publicly.
They, and the film, question why the United States has criminalized and too often given
superficial treatment to a chronic illness – addiction.
As a result, addiction now comes with an annual price tag of $350 billion.
The American approach has put most of the burden of long-term addiction treatment on anonymous, free, 12-step programs.
Those programs have done a good job, but no other health problem is treated this way.
In addition, the culture of anonymity in these programs, while it has protected individuals from
stigma, has also unintentionally perpetuated false perceptions of people with addiction – as the
public doesn't see how often people in their lives recover.
"This film is not your tired old addiction story often seen on reality television or in the news,"
said film producer Greg Williams. "There are no needles hanging out of people's arms, pictures of
the brain, or fried eggs in a pan. We set out to find the answer to one very fundamental question:
Why don't we treat addiction in this country like any other health issue?"
The Anonymous People also shines a light on prominent people who are not very anonymous and
are living publicly as people in long-term recovery themselves: Award winning actress Kristen
Johnston, former NBA star Chris Herren; Tara Conner, Miss USA 2006; former congressman
Patrick Kennedy; veteran news anchor Laurie Dhue; Tom Coderre, chief of staff to Rhode Island
Senate president and many others.
They have chosen to "come out" with their recovery in an effort to counter the existing public perception
of other people just like them.
This film aims at transforming public discourse in much the same way that activists once decided
that an honest open discussion had to take place about topics such as breast cancer, HIV/AIDS,
and being gay in order to spark widespread change.
The Anonymous People is produced and directed by Greg Williams; written by Aaron Cohen,
Greg Williams, Jeff Reilly, and Bud Mikhitarian; executive produced by Paul McCulley; co executive
produced by John Silverman; photographed by Craig Mikhitarian; and edited by Jeff
Reilly; with an original score by Brendan Berry.

THE NO1 REASON FOR TINTING YOUR VEHICLE Is to reduce the heat that passes through the glass, therefore reducing the internal temperature of the vehicle. Key Benefits of applying Automotive Window Film: • Reduction of Glare • Elimination Eye Strain • Reduce Harmful UV Rays • Provides added security to your vehicle, as items are not on display. Residential Window Films Glass features everywhere in our daily surroundings, increased glass in our homes and businesses is an excellent and modern way of creating natural light; however this can come at a price! Damaging UV Radiation from the sun can cause damage to furniture and carpets and annoying glare impairs TV and Computer viewing. Another underlying negative is increased energy costs, with excessive heat passing through the windows.

Examples of web sites Aspado has produced
Here is a selection of websites we have designed and built recently. Most of them are "hand-rolled" to the client's precise requirement i.e not built from a template, which is why they all look so different. Click on a thumbnail to visit the respective site (opens in a new browser page).
|This site is for Park Place Pastoral Care Centre. At the time of writing (Feb 2014) is is still being developed.
It is built using a Content Management System ( CMS ) called Joomla. This enables Park Place to control every aspect of the site - the pictures, the text, the menu layout and so on. The entire site is contained in a database.
The site is regularly backed up automatically and the backup file is sent to a different server to the one the site runs on. So the site can be recovered if it is hacked or if it's server crashes.
|You can make a website using Microsoft's Publisher or FrontPage oe even Word. The result looks OK in some browsers, but beneath the bonnet it's the most awful mess you could imagine. The search engines hate sites like this and site checkers usually show about 250 + errors.
This was such a site and the owner contacted us asking for help. There's nothing we could do except rebuild the site from the ground up whilst making it look as close to the original as possible.
The orginal home page contained 1196 lines of HTML code and produced 232 errors and 9 warnings in the standard validator. The new page contains just 159 lines, with no validation errors.
|Crisp Contracts are based in Warsash and specialse in contract and project management activities mainly for the retail trade.
We took this web site over from it's initial developer and made many changes to improve its' maintainability and its' search engine visibility.
We recently added some new pages and photographs and will be looking after the site on an ongoing basis.

You thought the traffic in the UK was bad? Not according to a new study analysing the most congested cities in Europe it isn't – Istanbul in Turkey is the most congested European city at rush hour.
Sat-nav giant TomTom analysed journey times at 'free-flow' periods compared to at rush hour in many European cities, noting the percentage increase in time spent travelling.
It took 57% longer for the same trip across the Turkish city, heading Warsaw, Poland (45%) and Marseille, France (42%) as the top three European cities with the greatest increase in traffic around commuter times.
The UK didn't feature in the top 10, with Leeds/Bradford exhibiting the greatest change in traffic conditions – journey times increased by 27% during rush hour, 1% more than in London.
The biggest increase in travel times for any city in the USA was (unsurprisingly) in Los Angeles. A 37% difference was noted, although the smaller relative difference here and in London does reflect the round-the-clock-traffic we know and, er, don't love.
New research shows 'baby on board' stickers – used by 40% of parents – actually cause an accident for as many as 1 in 20 displaying those labels in their cars?
According to Confused.com, as many as 5% of drivers have had a shunt due to stickers, such as the traditional baby on board sign, impeding their visibility, with over half of those drivers surveyed confirming baby on board logos obscure their view.
The latest data has led to road safety charity Brake branding them a danger, rather than the safety feature and potential saver of life they're made out to be.
Parents have hit back, however – 80% of those with children under 16 reckon they improve safety by letting the emergency services know if there's a juvenile involved in an accident.
Brake has opened the debate on these types of signs and added some top tips for displaying them in your car:
* Display a 'baby on board' sign (or similar) to aid emergency service officers in case of a crash, but only when there actually is a child present. If you go out in the car without your child, remove the sign
* Do not display more than one sign
* Do not place signs in a way that obscures the driver's view
Do you have an opinion on these types of signs in vehicles? We want to hear it, so why not let us know below?

Art & Design
The Art Design and Photography Department takes advantage of indirect light and, similar to studios found in most art schools, boasts a unique mezzanine studio level for Advanced Higher students. The department is well equipped and staff members provide a wide variety of skills in array of subject areas, such as printmaking, textiles, jewellery, computer graphics, photography and, of course, traditional drawing and painting.
The department is always a hive of activity, with lunchtime art clubs for younger pupils and after-school supported study for senior pupils. The high quality of work by pupils is displayed around the school and students often contribute work to public exhibitions. Pupils are also involved in a wide range of local and national competitions, such as the Friends of the Royal Scottish Academy Schools Art Award, The Rotary Young Photographer of the Year and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Poster Competition.
We work closely and enjoy cross-curricular projects with departments in both the Senior and Junior School. Recently, we have worked on an Environmental Art Project with Biology and English, and created beach art at Loch Lomond with Junior 1.
We take advantage of our unique location by taking S3 Art and Design pupils by train up to Loch Eil Outward Bound Centre near Fort William every year for a weekend of land art, which involves sculpture with found objects, beach art, sketching, painting, photography and outdoor activities such as gorge walking and canoeing. This helps to expand their horizons and create art in an environment that is outside the classroom. We then have an exhibition of the pupils' work from Loch Eil in our Creative Arts Evening, which also involves the Music and Drama Departments.
We enjoy visiting local galleries, exhibitions and take S3 pupils to Kelvingrove Art Galleries and Museum for a practical and critical workshop each year run by the museum curators. This is invaluable to let pupils see real paintings up close and to explore and analyse these paintings in preparation for the written element of the course.
Every year we showcase the S4-6 pupils' work who have been presented for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher in our annual Art, Design and Photography Exhibition in the main art room. This is an important occasion to show parents, pupils and staff the diversity of work produced and to celebrate the successes of pupils in our department.

The hierarchy of legal authorities (also known as statutes, regulations and standards) guides radiologic technologist practice in licensure states, but it can be confusing when the terms used to refer to legal authorities change from state to state.
Watch a presentation that describes the types of legal authorities and their order of importance. It's also important to understand how authorities can be changed to positively affect radiologic technologists' daily practice.
Each state has its own process for introducing and enacting bills. Knowing the critical points of the legislative process can help you and understand how a bill moves from introduction to enactment and therefore increase the odds of your bill's success. To learn how a bill goes through the legislative process, read "How an Idea Becomes a Law."
Regulations are rules passed by executive branch administrative agencies. While each state may set particular guidelines for its own rule-making process, the basic requirements for the adoption of a regulation are usually outlined by the legislature in a statute referred to as the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).
For laws to be effective, statutes and regulations must be enforceable, but also have due process for individuals who might be investigated for not complying with the law. Read The Enforcement of Standards to learn how suspected noncompliance with licensure laws can be investigated, adjudicated and penalized.
View a comprehensive list of available information on each state's legislative process, administrative code and register, regulatory process, and other helpful state-specific documents.
State radiation program control offices have knowledge about state-specific radiation statutes and regulations.

Most Helpful Guy
Going with his brother is a very bad idea, at least if you are considering getting back with him in the future. Being with a 14 year old by itself is a bad idea, anyway. You should date someone closer to your own age, give or take a year.3
Most Helpful Girl
If you've noticed, not one seems to even want to give an answer to this question because they're too busy reacting to it! You know why? Because there's a problem with your actual question itself.
Meaning, what the heck are you doing dating a 14 year old child, and secondly, your ex's BROTHER?
By all this I mean to say: stop persuing 14year old boys, and stop perusing brothers of exes. You'll just get yourself and at least two other people in major B. S. if you keep perusing this 14 year old boy. He is not lucky to have you do this to him, the law calls this *abuse*. Do you want to be labelled an abuser, a sexual predator, and manipulator for the rest of your life because of this?
My advice: stop all contact with the younger 14 year old brother immediately. Do this cutting off as soon as possible. If you're already talking to this brother, tell him this was all a joke to you and laugh and say "see you never, hah!" This will save you from so much. You can then move forward and look forward to a wonderful life of a 17 year old who had her future ahead of her and a wonderful young man will be in your life soon after. You'll forget that all of the above ever "almost" happened.
Trust me, you'll be fine as long as you do this and go on with your sweet young life. This is the biggest favour you can do to your future self.0

Just one, please!
Last week I stepped outside at lunch and stopped at my all-time favorite food truck. I hadn't been there in months. The guy who owns it is a genius, he comes up with the most fun lunch meals, and people wait in line to try his newest creations. A great meal for $5.50, you can't beat that. The guy smiled at me when he took my order, "Just for you today?" he asked, and I am sure I blushed when I verified that indeed, I only wanted one meal.
The truth is, it had always been just for me, but somehow the portions seemed so small that I had always ordered two lunches in the past, and I didn't find anything wrong with it.
I was trained to eat like a bear, and I started to look like one as well. How can people eat only one donut, if you can buy half a dozen? Of course, I want the large fries! The medium size is no fun and the small size just not an option.
During the last 11 months here at MFP, I realized that my portion sizes were out of whack and, so was I, because of it. I bought a food scale and I started using it. The sight of a 3 oz steak almost made me cry -such a small portion.
I ate it and to my surprise, I was comfortably full and it bothered me. How could that be?
What is the right amount of food for me to eat, I wondered? I know my stomach can't be trusted (yet) and my brain always seems to think everything is too small. I read up on it and I was shocked. 10 fries are considered a healthy portion. Ten lousy fries, imagine that? They look so lonely on a plate but then perhaps my plates are too big, to begin with.
If 10 fries are considered a healthy portion, why does my bag of fries in the freezer suggest 22 fries as serving size? What kind of tricky business is that?
I continued to research it further, and what I found out floored me. The serving sizes listed on the Nutrition Facts Label are not recommended serving sizes. By law, serving sizes must be based on how much food people actually consume, and not on what they should eat.
Imagine that! Our serving sizes had to be adjusted over the years because we eat too much.
(The goal: To bring serving sizes closer to what people actually eat so that when they look at calories and nutrients on the label, these numbers more closely match what they are consuming. (Source: FDA Consumer Health Information)
Bummer! Does that mean there are two serving sizes out there? The ones on the food labels that cannot be trusted and the real serving size that is suggested by doctors and nutritionists. I didn't like it but it made so much sense.
I think we have no real concept of how we're overeating even in our daily "healthy" diet. When we eat a whole bag of chips or stop for a triple ice cream cone on the way home, that's what we think of as out of control. In reality, it's our whole lifestyle that is out of control.
I am a fat lady on a mission. My mission is to find a healthy lifestyle that I will be able to enjoy for the rest of my life. Turns out I don't need as much food as I thought I would.
Just one...is fine and it works for me. I am on my way to find my "normal" because what brought me here wasn't normal.
74 pounds lost - Only 64 pounds to go!
I gained a pound last week. Maintaining is a totally different ball game.
"More often than not, expecting to lose weight without first losing the diet that made the weight loss necessary is like expecting a pig to be spotless after hosing it down while it was still rolling in mud."― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

If you keep eating with your fabulous portion control you'll be back to losing weight, not just as fast as you are used to now. Even maintaining a 70+ weight loss is a major victory.
Love your pig analogy! LOL and best of luck.
You're doing so well and I'm so very excited for you as you tackle maintenance over the holidays. We can do this. I'm currently eyeing the onslaught of holiday parties and trying to tell myself to be forgiving and keep the larger, no pun intended, goal in mind.
You are doing brilliantly and have come so far both in your physical weight loss and what you have gained in your knowledge and realisation of yourself.
Loving your regular blogs, thank you for sharing x.
I love your blogs and can't wait for the next one :-)
Have you been reading my mind this week? Lol. I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to portions. This is my first Christmas with MFP. The amount I used to eat astonished me, right along with what is considered to be a 'normal helping.
Thank you for your blog.

Julian found this RT article which seems to lend corrobration to Benjamin Fulford and David Wilcocks recent updates.
There definitely appears to be a major shift in the economic power centers of the planet, whether or not this is the golden age shift we have been hearing about remains to be seen. As always personal discernment is essential.
Armed thieves have stolen 275lb (125kg) of gold bars from a truck on its way from Florida to Massachusetts. The gunmen are still at large, with the transportation company offering a reward of $50,000 for information leading to their arrest.
The armored truck with gold bars packed in barrels was traveling from Miami to Attleboro, Massachusetts, also known as 'Jewelry City' because of the large number of manufacturers there, when it was robbed on a rural stretch of Interstate 95 in North Carolina late on Sunday.
A manhunt for the gunmen has since been underway, led by Wilson County Sheriff's Office and joined by the FBI.
"We have been notified and are coordinating with our law enforcement partners to determine whether a federal crime has been committed," said Shelley Lynch, public affairs specialist of the FBI Charlotte Division, as cited by the Wilson Times.

The two guards employed with Transvalue Inc., who were transporting the gold, told investigators there had been a mechanical problem with the truck, causing them pull the vehicle to the side of the road.
Shortly after that, a white van with three armed men stopped near. The gunmen tied the guards' hands behind their backs and marched them into the nearby woods.
The thieves eventually got away with an estimated $4.8 million in gold bars. However, they reportedly didn't steal everything from the truck. It's not yet clear how much was left.

"At this time we are working with the authorities to try and resolve this matter," said Transvalue CEO Jay Rodriguez, as cited by AP. "We are offering a $50,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of these criminals."
Transvalue, which specializes in transporting cash, precious metals, gems and jewelry in armored trucks, says its shipments are insured for up to $100 million.
