Green Sea Floyds trudged through tobacco fields and losing streaks on way to history
Green Sea Floyds talks about reaching the Class A state title game
Charles Elvington knows the struggles of the Green Sea Floyds football program as well as anyone.
He was an assistant coach on the first team fielded by the high school in 1976, and was later relieved of his head coaching duties in the 1990s after going 1-19 over two years in the midst of 13 consecutive losing seasons for the program.
So he can appreciate as much as anyone the Trojans' first berth in a state championship game in their 41st season of varsity football, as they will face Lamar for the S.C. Class A title at 5 p.m. Friday at Benedict College in Columbia.
"We went through some lean years," Elvington said. "It's been kind of up and down. It has never been steady. Right now we're riding a really good wave and have some really good football players.
"That [state title] would make our program. When you're thinking about football you don't think very much about Green Sea Floyds. I think it would make us relevant in that sport."
The program in the midst of farms and fields in rural western Horry County has come a long way from having to wait until classes commenced to have a full roster because many of its players chose to work jobs in tobacco fields through the summer.
J.C. Huggins' father and both of his uncles played at GSF, so the senior receiver and running back is living out what the previous generation of his family was unable to realize.
"He's done told me I've done something he couldn't, so he's excited for us and hopes we go all the way," Huggins said of his father. ". . . We're going to play our hearts out and hope for the best."
Mired in mediocrity
Green Sea Floyds formed its football team in the first year of the merger of Green Sea and Floyds high schools, neither of which had football teams at the time.
Head coach Rusty Holt enlisted Elvington to be his assistant and both were new to the county. Elvington had been a teacher at Terrells Bay and Holt taught at Manning High, so former Floyds teacher and basketball coach Thelton Powell advised the young coaches on the school's best athletes and what position would best be suited for each player.
GSF played junior varsity football in 1976-77 and went undefeated in '77, albeit with juniors on the team. The Trojans were so enamored with their accomplishment they printed T-shirts commemorating it.
It would be the last time they went through a season without at least two losses, though conversely they have had three winless seasons, the last in 2014.
The Trojans went 3-7 in their first season of varsity football in 1978. "We were very respectable," said Elvington, 65, who left after that season for a job at Mullins High. That was followed by marks of 1-9 and 2-8. The first winning season came in 1982, they made the playoffs and finished 8-4 in 1983, and had one of their best seasons in 1984, going 8-2 under Holt.
But the prosperity was short-lived. The Trojans were winless in 1987 and endured 13 consecutive losing seasons from 1990-2002, including going 1-19 in 1996-97 when they were outscored 633-90. They had their third winless season in 2014.
In the program's first couple decades, prior to the increased mechanization of tobacco harvesting, the team was hindered by the industry. Elvington recalls practices in the evenings when players got off work in the tobacco fields, if players were available at all.
"A lot of times we'd struggle to get kids out to practice until school started," said Elvington, who said transportation for players in the school's large rural attendance area was also an issue. "Once school started they'd want to come out. You can't really build a program with that situation.
"It was frustrating to not have all the players there, or the players didn't have the desire to play."
Since Holt left in the mid-1980s, the Trojans have had little coaching stability. The program has had at least 13 coaches over the past 35 seasons, none retained more than five seasons.
"A lot of people would come in and see the situation, and like one coach told me, even when it's going good it's a struggle," said Elvington, who kept statistics for the Trojans last season. "A lot of kids didn't know what it meant to be a football player. To play for a state championship you have to be all in, so to speak. And I think that's where they are now."
A changing culture
Donnie Kiefer is in his second season leading the GSF program and 32nd year as a head coach. He retired in North Carolina but wanted to continue coaching and his wife likes the beach. He has previously coached at both large and small schools.
"I like small-school football. I think it's exciting. It's the only show in town," Kiefer said. "I think coaching really makes a difference at that level because you have what you have. . . . Once I talked to them about it I was impressed with what they were willing to commit to be a good program."
The Trojans had improved from 3-7 in 2015 to 6-6 with their first playoff win in a decade in 2016 under five-year coach Tony Sullivan.
"They were getting better. They went 6-6 and won a playoff game, and Tony Sullivan had gotten them going in the right direction, but it still wasn't anywhere like it needed to be," Kiefer said. "When I first got there I told them, 'Look, we need to get to the point where 6-6 is a down year.' "
The team went 6-6 and won a playoff game again last year, but it was a season with turmoil as three good players were dismissed after a fight in a game against Creek Bridge and nine other players were suspended during the season.
"Coming back this year I think our guys have bought in more, they've understood more of what it takes to be a champion," Kiefer said. "It's more than just having good talent. You have to be prepared, you have to prepare well offensively, defensively and physically."
The high school program has benefited from a community recreation football program that has become more structured and effective in getting youth interested in the sport in recent years, and an improved weight room and fitness program under Kiefer, who has been a competitive lifter and college strength coach.
Kiefer said the weight room is second to none for a Class A school, and the strength, speed and agility program "is second to none at any level, 1A through 5A. All of those things combined, plus we have a great coaching staff . . . and kids with the heart that want to get it done."
The house cleaning continued this year. Kiefer said GSF is without a couple players who started the season but made poor choices and are no longer on the team. "I think they get it. I think they understand now there are consequences to bad actions," Kiefer said.
The Trojans have won six consecutive games, and in the past five they have scored at least 44 points and topped 60 points on three occasions. "Our athletes have gotten better where we can do more plays and throw the ball more," Huggins said. "It just gives us bigger options."
While the Trojans (10-3) are making their debut in the state championship game, Lamar is playing in its fourth straight title tilt against their fourth different opponent. The Silver Foxes won titles in 2015 and '17 and lost in 2016.
Kiefer hopes this season's playoff run is the beginning of a similar sustained excellence at GSF.
"When you're winning big more people are going to want to be involved," he said. "There are still some kids walking the halls that we wish were playing. It will grow as long as we continue to be successful and do things the right way."

U.K.insurer Royal & Sun Alliance RSA, -0.61% said group operating profit for the year rose to 226 million pounds, against 16 million pounds a year-ago. It set a final dividend of 2p and the dividend for 2002 at 6p a share vs. 16p a year ago. Analysts had expected a dividend in the range of 4-12p a share. The loss attributable to shareholders of rose to 940 million from 889 million, reflecting goodwill write off and investment value declines, it said. Looking ahead, RSA said it was making progress on the restructuring outlined last year. It said it expects "a number of other sale agreements will be announced in the first half of the year." It also said that "The recent announcement by the FSA of the move to realistic balance sheets for life solvency is welcomed as a practical and sensible development. The impact for the Group is likely be positive. We will continue to manage the run off of the UK Life funds to maximise the release of capital, while meeting regulatory requirements."

Practice management solutions support the day-to-day finance and business operations of a medical practice. Practice management software, the scope of services that medical group management encompasses, and the job function of a practice manager / practice administrator has evolved over time. However, the overarching goal remains the same: practice management aims to strengthen practice performance and practice efficiency.
Recognizing independent practices and hospital-employed anesthesia groups all have unique and specific needs, abeo approaches the topic.
Billing and AR Management
Within the anesthesia industry, revenue cycle management services are typically a stand-alone category priced separate from medical practice management services. abeo RCM support services ranges from provider enrollment and professional medical coding, to claims submissions and accounts receivables follow up.
Financial Management
This area involves oversight and analysis in regard to accounting, budgeting, payroll, and revenue cycle management performance. Basic bookkeeping, reimbursement policies, income distribution, cash flow management and financial reporting are among the functions abeo provides to ensure a profitable anesthesia practice.
Organizational Management
Board structure, policy development, a defined decision-making process, practice governance, and the internal communication infrastructure are among the functions abeo assists with as medical practice management consultants to enable an anesthesia group to effectively manage and control the practice.
Strategic Planning
Setting goals to direct the future of the anesthesia practice involves an understanding of the group's value proposition, growth strategy, and industry trends so the practice can set priorities and have direction. abeo collaborates with the anesthesia leadership team in activities such as evaluating and planning for new practice sites and new services, exploring the benefits and drawbacks of alternative reimbursement methodologies, and practice merger and acquisition considerations.
abeo adapts our medical practice management solutions offer support to any anesthesia group structure you can think of. Our anesthesia management pricing is tailored to the unique environment and needs of each client.

9 accused of forcing women to join brothel
LOUISVILLE — Women who spoke no English were allegedly forced to participate in a multi-state prostitution ring and expected to have sex with 30 clients a day, six days a week, according to indictments filed in federal court.
The women worked 50 weeks each year, had no health care and were sent each week to a new location in Kentucky or Tennessee, according to the Courier-Journal, which cited indictments that were unsealed Monday.
Nine people face charges of operating a brothel and prostitution network in the case. The five who have been arraigned have entered not-guilty pleas in U.S. District Court in Greene ville, Tenn., and are being held without bond.
The defendants are accused of recruiting Spanish-speaking women who were in the country illegally and forcing them to become prostitutes.
The indictments say the women were required over a four-year period to perform services for 11 hours of the day for men at brothels located in homes in Louisville, and in the Tennessee cities of Knoxville, Morristown, Johnson City, Bristol, Kingsport and Goodlettsville.
The indictment says customers paid the defendants $30 for 15-minute sessions with the women, who in most cases had to buy condoms with their tip money.
The services were advertised by word of mouth and on business cards in Spanish-speaking neighborhoods. The ads used code words such as "haircuts, flowers and appetistas" — which is slang for a snack or quick bite.
The defendants are Obdulio C. Morales, Esthela Silfa Vasquez, Reyna Rodriguez Rios, Eusebio Flores Martinez, Elda Dorali Moreno Ramirez, Rubio Trinidad Narciso, Rosa Garcia Menendez, Raymundo Sanchez-Torres and Freddy Lopez Torres.
They face up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000, as well as deportation.
The indictment says the defendants kept control of the women by restricting their freedom. It doesn't specify how many women allegedly worked for the defendants.
It says the defendants took genuine identification documents from the women, gave them false identities, and told them to deny their real identities if questioned by authorities.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Helen Smith in Tennessee told the newspaper she could not comment and the U.S. Attorney's office in Louisville declined to comment.
Smith said she couldn't say what would become of the women or whether they would be deported.

By Cara Kagan.
Call it fate. Call it destiny. But the Chinese character for perfumer Yosh Han's first name actually means "fragrant."
Of course it's entirely possible that this phenomenon stems from the fact that Han's mother is a Japanese flower arranger. But be that as it may, the San Francisco-based artisanal perfumer professes to have always felt an almost supernatural attraction to the aromatic arts. And given that she is also a clairvoyant, aura healer and reiki practioner, she should know all about intuition.
Han officially started her perfuming career in 1994, when she walked into a boutique in Aspen, Colorado with hundreds of bottles lining the walls and felt this crazy urge that she absolutely had to work there, even though she wasn't quite sure what kind of shop it was. She asked the manager for a job but was told they weren't hiring. Han held her ground and insisted that she was destined to work there. At last, the owner herself relented. Han apprenticed as a perfumer for two years, mastering the exquisite art of combining healing essential oils with sensuous perfume essences.
These days, her sublime, ready-to-wear Evanescent fragrance collection, which blends the art of perfumery with the benefits of aromachology, (the therapeutic usage of essential oils), is available at Barney's and Henri Bendel, chic boutiques and websites internationally.
The goal of each creation isn't to merely scent the wearer, Han notes, but to also "Entice the senses, fascinate the mind, and enchant the soul," a process she calls, "Trans-aromation." Each Yosh fragrance is vibrationally attuned and designed to resonate with the principles of Chakra energy and numerology.
The Evansecent collection includes Sottile 1.6, a sheer floral; White Flowers 1.41, a complex floral; U4EAHH! 2.43, a tart, watery infusion; Ginger Ciao 2.27, a gourmand floral and Han's signature scent; Stargazer 7.71, a green, tropical floral and another personal favorite; and Omniscient 0.96, a woody, Oriental, powdery blend. (The numbers correspond to each scent's fragrance family, such as "floral," "fruity," "green," "woody" and "spicy".)
In 2011 Han introduced Sombre Negro, or black shadow, the debut fragrance in her new "M" series. This collection represents a departure from Han's signature ethereal potions in that its raison d'etre is to explore fragrances that evoke "our primal natures." Han calls Sombre Negro "the smoking gun" fragrance; its brooding blend of vetiver, patchouli, cedar, olibanum, pink pepperberry, black peppercorn, clove, juniper, citrus, nutmeg, cumin, tonka and orris root evokes mystery, excitement and elusiveness.
For a couture fragrance experience, Han creates individualized signature scents in her Pacific Heights studio. Each custom brew is based on the wearer's personality, skin type and fragrance preferences. For a scent that will truly resonate with each client, she encourages them to allow their intuition and emotions, rather than simply their nose, to select each ingredient.
And true to Yosh Han form, a custom-blending session just may kick off with an aura reading.

The latest attempt to dismantle Anchorage's law protecting the LGBT community from discrimination does not appear likely to make it to April's ballot. Municipal Attorney William Falsey wrote that the petition application for an initiative, entitled the "Protect Our Privacy" initiative, did not meet the legal requirements to be allowed to move forward. He recommended that the municipal clerk deny the application.
The application was filed by Kim Minnery, wife of Alaska Family Council President Jim Minnery, and asked,
Shall the Anchorage Municipal Code be amended to: protect the privacy of citizens by requiring that certain restrooms and changing facilities in municipal buildings be designated for and used only by persons of the same sex; provide that private employers, public accommodations and other persons may lawfully choose to adopt sex-specific standards for restroom access, and dress and grooming policies; provide that no public accommodation may be forced to promote a message or expressive event with which the owner or operator disagrees; provide that employers, public accommodations and other persons may not be compelled to participate in certain activities that violate a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction; and provide exemptions for religious organizations with respect to employment decisions and the provision of adoption services?
"Subject to the following discussion, our brief answer is no," Falsey wrote. "The Anchorage Municipal Code mandates that initiative petitions may address only 'a single subject.' … No single subject unifies the various, disparate components of the law sought to be initiated by petition 2017-1."
In an 11-page legal opinion transmitted to the Municipal Clerk, Falsey wrote that the petition proposed three different categories of changes to the law: a requirement of "'sex'-based practices;" the authorization of certain entities to "act, or refrain from acting, in accordance with their views of marriage and pre-marital sex;" and the allowance of "public accommodations to refrain from assisting in conduct supporting any message to which the owner or operator of the public accommodation, 'as a matter of… conviction,' objects." [emphasis in original]
Falsey said that the application could be revised, and multiple applications could be submitted covering each facet. A recommendation was also made to change the name of the initiative.
[T]he 'Protect our Privacy Initiative' … is neither neutral (because many, particularly in the transgender community, would see the measure as undermining their privacy interests), nor a fair shorthand for the measure (given that few, if any of the "lawful practices" and "religious freedom exemptions" that would be enacted by sections 3 and 4 of the measure, could be fairly construed as serving a privacy interest). Yet, in its absence, no reasonable shorthand for the measure, reflective of a single "general idea" animating and unifying the petition, suggests itself. [emphasis in original]
Because the denial was based solely on the violation of the single-subject rule, Falsey added a note of caution to future efforts, should Minnery or anyone seek to refile.
"We do not reach the question of whether the proposed code amendments would be enforceable as matter of law or clearly unconstitutional, and advise the sponsors a resubmitted application is subject to further legal review."
Minnery now has 30 days to file suit and hope for an expedited hearing and favorable opinion, as initiatives are required to be approved at least 90 days before the next municipal election in April.

At the last 280th St James Norton Scout Group committee meeting a decision was taken to raise subs for £40/term to ensure we can continue to provide a great experience for your children. This will come into effect from 1st January 2016.
If you pay subs by monthly standing order, this means that your standing order will increase from £8.75/month to £10/month. As we have all set up a standing order not direct debits, we cannot automatically increase the amount on your behalf and you will need to organise the new rate directly with your bank.
If you pay subs termly by cash or cheque, subs are payable on the first day back in September, the first day back after Christmas break, and the first day back after easter break. You need to be aware that from January 2016 subs are due within two weeks of the start of term and if not paid, then your Cub will not be able to attend until subs payments are up to date.
Of course, as ever, if you are having difficulty paying your subs, then please come and chat to one of the leaders.

The Client
A boutique mutual fund company.
The Challenge
The company needed help writing materials that could support its plans for rapid growth, particularly among institutional clients. It had talented financial experts and sophisticated investing strategies, but it lacked a support staff to help its team generate quarterly reports, create thought leadership content and produce other materials. The firm's leaders were frustrated after several failed attempts to find a partner who could help generate a regular flow of content that met their standards. They mentioned their frustration to a Writing Company client, who referred them to us.
Our Solution
The company initially tapped TWC to write a single white paper. Over time, we developed a full-service editorial partnership with the client, with TWC operating as the firm's go-to resource for all manner of writing needs. A dedicated project manager at TWC maintains regular phone contact with the client's leaders and directs a team of senior TWC writers who understand the company's distinct culture, investing philosophy, strategies, products and editorial voice. We help the firm conceive, plan, schedule and execute its thought leadership strategy. We draft its quarterly fund reports, edit website copy, develop promotional brochures, write press releases and create video scripts. We are, in effect, the company's editorial team.
The Result
Our work has helped the firm generate a steady stream of promotional and thought leadership content for its audiences of retail investors, financial advisors and institutional investors—addressing current events, reporting on new developments in investment research and explaining complicated financial concepts. Meanwhile, our collaboration has let the company's leadership and investment professionals focus their talent and energies on their areas of expertise. We're proud to have supported the firm's efforts to expand its business during a period when its assets under management grew 300 percent.

The human element, the power of leadership, strong team dynamics and the value of a happy and engaging cultures can no longer be denied. In this age of the consumer, the people element has become more relevant than ever.
Business is becoming more and more about collaboration and information sharing. Modern leadership is less about hierarchy and power but more about autonomous decision making, empowerment, flexible schedules and employees (in particular Millennials), having a sense of purpose and opportunity within your company.
HAPPY ENGAGED teams win championships.
Your people are your front line to providing elevated CX. As we move into the information age where the customer expects more and has access to more, it is crucial that the human or people element be valued, nurtured and respected.
The ROI is simple: HAPPY ENGAGED teams win championships. Elevated Customer Experiences minimize pain points and build strong emotional connections with their customer through a multitude of platforms, strategies and action plans.
Companies that are customer-centric in their culture and philosophy are more competitive and generate more income. WHY? Because those happy employees value and care more for the customer beyond the basic transaction. They will go the extra mile and make each and every customer feel valued and important, thus strengthening your brand and loyalty.

Leroy in Rotterdam
Planned a few months ahead, for my next visit to Rotterdam, this was the result of me asking around for "men with beards". And what a beard it was. I went out to an abandoned grain silo on the River Maas - Maashaven Zuid [Google Street View] with 35-year-old Leroy Molkenboer, cab driver, roller-skater, fixie rider and barbershop frequenter, for a few hours discovering one amazing setting after another. I love the textures and colours of weathered industrial places and how the light spills through gaps, cracks and broken windows. Leroy was up for anything. Shot some new favourites.

Of all applications used in business, email is arguably the most important of them all. Emailing has been deeply engraved into the business world, and it's difficult to imagine a business can survive without it. However, managing corporate emails can be both emotionally and financially exhausting. The process involved is intricate and require high-level expertise to execute. For this reason, more corporate heads are looking for cloud service providers to help with some email management functions, including anti-spam, filtering, email protection, and provision of interrupted email service. It's called cloud email archiving. Why should your business embrace email archive applications?
Before we look at the benefits of email archiving, let us look at how email archiving applications work. Email archiving products are specially created to solve all email related problems that individual and organizations face. The technology ports your emails to a separate data center outside your organization and allows you to accesses your emails through a monitor. Email archiving applications provide an effective way of reducing the volume of data that must be stored. The technology is sophisticated and has other functions that include unlimited storage, improved security, transparency, and seamless integration with existing systems. Here are reasons why your business should move to cloud email archiving.
Reliving You the Burden of Obtaining On-premise Storage
Before cloud computing, many organizations relied on their IT departments to manage their email systems. At the time, the IT was overwhelmed by email, which was sophisticated and relatively new to many at the time. Also, organizations were forced to spend money on o-premises storage to accommodate the large numbers of emails they sent and received every day. It was financially exhausting, and this led to the collapse of many companies. Only the well-established firms survived, and it seemed to be survival of the fittest.
Fortunately, cloud computing came to save the day. Today, many companies and individuals use the cloud for data storage. All they need is to look for a reputable and knowledgeable cloud vendor to manage their email systems. A cloud service provider relieves you the burden of acquiring storage devices. With cloud computing, you don't need to expand your IT foot print. Amazing, right? It's hustle free and saves you a lot of money.
Ideal For Small Businesses
A recent study shows that most small enterprises die prematurely because they cannot afford the technology to run their business. At the early stages, small businesses do a lot of emailing because they have to create content and also cement their brand voice. The combination of marketing and administrative functions leads to increased emailing. If you have ever owned a small business, you certainly agree that focusing on several issues at the same time is unhealthy for small and medium business and this brings it to its knees. The introduction of cloud computing changed the emailing landscape. Small businesses can now hire a cloud service provider to manage their emails as they concentrate on promoting their products and services. Simply put, email archiving helps you roll with the big boys without spending much.
Easy To Move And You Are Assured Of Control
Some IT heads may reject the idea of moving to the cloud because of the intricacies involved in moving data. They will tell you that the data may be lost and that you may lose control over the system. If you have ever imagined the same, you need to relax because data loss will never happen since cloud vendors are experts who have been in the business for years. You are, therefore, assured that they will employ the right techniques to migrate your data. Find a reputable vendor to do it for you to ensure there is no data loss or unnecessary complexities.
The technology behind cloud computing is designed to give you full control. You can shut and open your emails whenever you want from anywhere around the world. With cloud email archiving, you are always the boss.
Security And Safety
Cyber-attack has been a dilemma and organizations will do anything to protect themselves from this vice. Most organizations spend millions on cyber security, and this drains their bank accounts. The introduction of cloud computing has everything. The technology protects you from cyber-attacks because of the sophisticated encryption it employs. If you want your emails to stay safe, try email archiving.
Of course, email archiving has many more benefits but the ones mentioned are probably the most admirable. The technology keeps getting better, and you should embrace it if you want to reach new echelons in the ever-competitive business world.

With more than 20 years of experience in producing prestressed monobloc sleepers, Betonfabriek De Bonte has gained a considerable expertise in this field. Based on this, they developed their own optimized production machine and moulds which are sold internationally. The company will take charge of the entire project starting from the design of the prestressed sleepers to the installation and the optimization of the production unit.
Good communication, technical expertise and many years of experience are key for the company to meet all specific customer requirements.
At the end of 2015, De Bonte entered into a collaboration with paving specialist Pressplate (Lokeren BE and Breda NL). This relatively young enterprise developed a wide range of innovative concrete pavement solutions for application in infrastructure and railway works. Pressplate specializes in durable finishing products and coloured concrete, available in a wide choice of prints, for in-situ applications as well as prefab elements.
Thanks to our collaboration, Pressplate will be able to of

Chain of Command
How important is it for your wargames to model a chain of command that requires certain units to interact within a particular hierarchical structure?
Do you want your HQ units to have to control the actions of their subordinates?
How about chains of activations with subordinate units (a la PanzerGrenadier)?
What do you want from modeling the chain of command and what can you live without?

Treat Epilepsy with CBD?
Epilepsy is an issue that is generally misunderstood by most of the population. For one, it isn't a single disease like many others. Epilepsy is more of a family of disorders that range in severity, frequency, and which nerves are affected. One symptom does unify all forms of epilepsy, though: seizures. These seizures have an extremely debilitating effect on those who suffer from epilepsy. Since the seizures can strike at any time, having epilepsy means many people are unable to hold down a job, or even legally have a driver's license. But, did you know you can treat epilepsy with CBD?
What is CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of over a hundred different cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant. Along with THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, it is one of the most prominent cannabinoids within the plant. CBD is also the source of most of cannabis' health benefits, and as more and more studies examine it, scientists are rapidly finding more uses for it. One such study has recently shown that CBD can have a profound effect on children and youths with a particularly nasty form of epilepsy.
Dravet Syndrome
Dravet Syndrome is an extremely rare form of epilepsy, affecting somewhere between .0025% and .005% of the population. It is also an extremely difficult form of epilepsy to treat, as it has proven resistant, if not altogether immune to, most conventional anticonvulsants. The syndrome is extremely pervasive, characterized by multiple seizures daily, primarily affects children and adolescents, can be fatal in some instances, and is entirely incurable. Altogether it is a nightmare to treat and even worse to suffer from. But it's possible that CBD can reverse that.
How to Treat Epilepsy with CBD
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine examined the use of CBD in children and adolescents who suffer from Dravet Syndrome. The study was rigorously controlled with a CBD pill group and a placebo control group. It was also a double-blind study, meaning that not only the two groups of subjects, but the researchers themselves as well, did not know which pill they were taking. This is generally considered the best way to conduct a medical study, as it eliminates possible patient or researcher bias. The study was outstandingly promising for the future of epilepsy treatment; the CBD group's instances of epileptic seizures were cut in half, as opposed to almost no change in the control group. Furthermore, a small amount of the CBD group actually became completely seizure-free from the treatment. Altogether, the study points to the use of CBD as an effective treatment for epilepsy sufferers.
Charlotte Figi
One such sufferer was a five-year-old girl named Charlotte Figi. She was a child diagnosed as an infant with Dravet Syndrome, and it was ruining her life. She would have dozens of seizures a day, sometimes hitting over a hundred. It basically made her non-functioning. Worse, it inflicted pain on her constantly, as she would break bones and teeth and suffer head injuries constantly from her violent attacks. Her parents tried all manners of legitimate medicine, but not only did none work, several nearly killed her from the side effects. She was resuscitated several times after the supposed medicines stopped her from breathing. Her parents, hopeless, eventually signed a do not resuscitate order, fully expecting their daughter to die soon, as that would be preferable to the state she was in. Fortunately, they decided to give CBD treatment a shot, and it has worked wonders. Her seizures are now down from 1,200 a month to just three, and those three are shorter and less violent. CBD has given Charlotte a real chance at a normal life.
The Takeaway
No medicine is completely harmless, nor a magic drug that can save everyone in all instances. Just as Charlotte was resistant to some of the traditional anticonvulsants, others can be more responsive to those than they are to CBD. CBD use also was accompanied in some instances by side effects, such as fatigue or diarrhea. But instead of being treated like an illegal drug, CBD should continue to be studied carefully by medical scientists, as it could be the key to saving many more like Charlotte from a seemingly hopeless situation.

The National Fire Protection Administration (NFPA) has stated that even 1/8th inch of creosote in your chimney can be a fire hazard to your home. A buildup of creosote can catch fire inside your chimney, resulting in a 2,000 degree full-blown chimney fire. These infernos can wreak havoc on your chimney, often times escaping into the attic, walls, roof, etc.
The first step to preventing a chimney fire is removing the creosote deposits which are a natural byproduct of burning wood. Sweeping away these deposits is the primary role of a chimney sweep.

Partnership in the Gospel (Philippians 1:1-11)
There are few things that resonate in the human heart more than experiencing a relationship that is deeply affectionate, overflowing with joy, and filled with purpose. Do you have relationships that you would characterize this way? Many immediately think of their spouse; and that is wonderful. Marriage should be that way. But, what about with others? Who are you really close to? Take a minute and think about why you are so close.
So often we think of the deepest relationships being formed by two people who focus on one another. However, potentially the deepest bonds develop between people who are pursuing a mutual interest.Consider some examples of this: the undying brotherhood of a band of soldiers in war, the unbeatable unity of a team pursuing a championship, and the unbreakable bond of a family going through a crisis. These groups finds the depth of their bond not so much in themselves, as in the object they pursue and the experience of pursuing it... surviving the battle, winning the championship, weathering the storm.
God means for us to experience these kinds of relationships... relationships that are deeply affectionate, overflowing with joy, and filled with purpose; and God means to BE the object that brings us together.
What I have just described was the relationship between Paul and the church at Philippi. As we begin a study of the letter that Paul wrote to this church, we will study the first eleven verses and learn four challenging and encouraging lessons from their relationship.
Partnership in the Gospel
Philippians 1:1-11
Four lessons:
1. Study the background of Biblical literature so that you can understand it well. (1-2)
The people who received this letter knew why they were receiving it. They lived in the context. They knew the author well. Before you can ever really understand the content of a letter, you have to understand the author, the recipients, the background of their relationship, and the reason for the letter. A good study Bible, like the ESV Study Bible, or user-friendly commentary, like the NIV Compact Bible Commentary by John Sailhamer, will give you this perspective in a concise but helpful manner.
2. Praise God for deep and meaningful relationships. (1-11)
It is obvious from the text that Paul and the saints at Philippi enjoyed a deeply meaningful relationship. Listen to how he speaks of them: V3 Paul thanks God for them, V3 Paul remembers them often, V4 Paul prays for the often and does so "with joy", V7 Paul "holds them in his heart," V8 Paul "yearns for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus," V26 Paul hopes to come to them again, 4:1 Paul calls them "brothers whom I love and long for, my joy and crown."
Listen, I hope you have some of these kinds of relationships. They are a source of joy. God made us for these kinds of relationships, community. Family, Church, Friends. It takes effort and most likely you will have to be the one to initiate. But when you do, you will find relationships for which you will praise God.
3. Learn what made the relationship between Paul and the church at Philippi so deeply affectionate, overflowing with joy, and filled with purpose. (3-11)
a. They are partners in the same gospel. (3-5)
i. They were partners in sharing the gospel. (1:7, 27-28)
ii. They were partners in suffering for the gospel. (1:7; 4:14)
iii. They were partners in praying for the gospel. (1:19)
iv. They were partners in giving to further the gospel. (4:15-18 and 2 Cor 8:1-5)
That's what partnership in gospel looks like: sharing, suffering, praying, giving. My friends, we must partner together for the gospel! This is our mission as a Church here in Winchester. We need to pray for, look for, work for opportunities to share the gospel in our neighborhoods. This is why we partner with other churches here in Winchester. This is why we praise God for churches like Guilford and Timberlake and individuals who partner with us in the gospel. This is why we partner with the Southern Baptist Convention and individual missionaries. We are NOT ALONE in this! God is on a mission and He calls us join Him.
b. They are partakers of the same grace. (6-8)
Paul and the saints at Philippi have experienced the same grace of God. God started the work by His grace and God will complete the work by His grace. The Philippian saints are NOT dependent on Paul to finish the work, "for it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure." (2:12-13). The Philippian Christians could rest assured that God will finish what he started!
c. They are passionate about the same God. (9-11)
i. A love that is growing.
ii. A love that is characterized by knowledge and discernment.
iii. A love that enables them to test, determine, choose, and prove what is excellent in life.
iv. A love that results in them being:
1. Pure and blameless for the day of Christ
2. Filled with the fruits of righteousness that come from Christ.
3. A source of glory and praise to God
4. Rejoice over progress in your Christian experience, not perfection. (1-11)
We make note that everything that Paul talks about here is a work in progress. God is gracious and the apostle is gracious. But all too often we are not very gracious and patient with ourselves and others. We look for perfection instead of progress. But this text speaks of an ON-GOING mission, a PROGRESSIVE sanctification, and a GROWING love. Let's rejoice in the on-going, progressive, growth that the Spirit is doing in our lives, our church, and our families!

Here's something you don't see everyday, unless you're a Star Wars fan because Lucasfilm is used to exploiting EVERY corner and facet of that universe.
Anyhoo, this link to ModelerMagic.com shows a pretty awesome miniature (real life, not CGI) that was inspired by concept art by the legendary Ralph McQuarrie of the Original Star Wars Trilogy fame. It's based on designs from an aborted Star Trek film attempt in the mid-1970s. Mr. McQuarrie worked under the supervision of another legendary movie figure, noted James Bond film production designer Ken Adam (for director Phillip Kaufman).
All that was scraped for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. A few small crude study models were built but no full size ILM miniatures. Shame that (I like that big, triangular engineering section - more room for Scotty to stress and fret and pace around).
Trivia factoid (like all this isn't trivia to begin with!): a couple McQuarrie/Adams study models were used in the fleet of destroyed starships in the second half of the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter, "Best of Both Worlds."
And knowing is half the battle, etc, etc.

The family of Olivia Campbell-Hardy, a victim of the Manchester bombing on 22 May have released a statement.
Olivia is one of the 22 people killed by Salman Abedi's suicide bomb at the Manchester Arena last month.
Her mother and step-dad have released the following statement.
"Ollie – where do we begin?
She was so lovely but could be an absolute nightmare in equal measure but everything she did we loved.
She got away with everything because she was the youngest.
She was a gobby cow – she was so cheeky, but you just couldn't tell her off, it was impossible. You'd just end up laughing.
Ollie loved her family and her boyfriend Lewis. He worshipped the ground she walked on.
She could click her fingers and he would come running.
They would sit sharing Oreos – she would eat the cream and he would eat the biscuits.
Ollie and her sister Trina used to fight like cat and dog, but minutes later they would be back being best friends.
She was obsessed with make-up and wouldn't leave the house without being fully made up. She loved her eyebrows – they always had to be "on fleek".
Anyone who met Ollie would never forget her. She was so loveable and has already changed so many lives.
We will miss Ollie every day. But this house will always be full of laughter because of the 15 years of memories she gave us.
Ollie – we love you so much".

Remembering that It Happened Once
Remembering that it happened once,
We cannot turn away the thought,
As we go out, cold, to our barns
Toward the long night's end, that we
Ourselves are living in the world
It happened in when it first happened,
That we ourselves, opening a stall
(A latch thrown open countless times
Before), might find them breathing there,
Foreknown: the Child bedded in straw,
The mother kneeling over Him,
The husband standing in belief
He scarcely can believe, in light
That lights them from no source we see,
An April morning's light, the air
Around them joyful as a choir.
We stand with one hand on the door,
Looking into another world
That is this world, the pale daylight
Coming just as before, our chores
To do, the cattle all awake,
Our own frozen breath hanging
In front of us; and we are here
As we have never been before,
Sighted as not before, our place
Holy, although we knew it not.
Wendell Berry
The dogs are my alarm clock and every day (Christmas Eve or not), we are up at the crack of dawn. Getting out of a warm bed to take the boys outside can be difficult but sunrises are a welcome panacea to the cold and snow. This morning was particularly beautiful and as I walked around outside, camera in hand, the phrase 'Christmas Magic' popped up, over and over. There is magic everywhere— in dancing snowflakes back-lit by the early morning sun, on the faces of my children on Christmas morning, in the kitchen as I prepare our Christmas meal, in the laughter and banter over a game of Monopoly, in the glow of the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve when the house is quiet and I count every one of the blessings I've been given over the past year. Here's to a Christmas filled with love, laughter, good friends, family, lots of good food, even better wine and most of all, magic.

Waiting on Line/
Hmmm. (Just how many ms are there in that word?)
It's Tuesday evening around 7pm and there's still no Line market up on TAB Sportsbet. In the normal course this market would go up at noon on Monday, and that's when the first match is on Friday night. So, this week the first game is 24 hours earlier than normal and the Line market looks as though it'll be delayed by 48 hours, perhaps more.
Curiouser still is the fact that the Head-to-Head market has been up since early March (at least) and there's an historical and strong mathematical relationship between Head-to-Head prices and the Line market, as the following chart shows.
The dark line overlaid on the chart fits the empirical data very well. As you can see, the R-squared is 0.944, which is an R-squared I'd be proud to present to any client.
Using the fitted equation gives the following table of Favourite's Price and Predicted Points Start:
Anyway, back to waiting for the TAB to set the terms of our engagement for the weekend ...

Two Peruvian, probably Inca, gentlemen visited my blog today. Again.
Those of you, who have read my earlier post on the subject, will get goose-pimples reading this. Others can know the history of the mysterious goings-on by reading my earlier blog entry titled Doomsday scenario: The plot thickens here: (https://fewfleetingmoments.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/doomsday-scenario-the-plot-thickens/).
This re-appearance of the Peruvian duo clearly establishes that, a) they are snooping, b) like FBI agents, they hunt in pairs, and c) they are not up to any good.
I have my reasons to believe that their intentions are not entirely above-board. First, this cloak and dagger secrecy. They have not yet announced their presence, or commented or left any identification. Second, they are pretty focused on what they are after. They are not randomly reading poetry and humour. They know what they are looking for. And, I fear, they do not like what they read.
I may be in big time trouble, if the Incas feel that I have somehow scented their secret. That I have no clue, is not something they know, or are likely to believe – that is an inherent problem with these FBI-Inca-types. Once they start suspecting an innocent of mischief, their egos would never let them admit that they were barking up the wrong tree (not barking, 'staring at' would be a more appropriate phrase here, but 'a dog staring up the tree' does sound a trifle useless sort of a dog.)
Anyway, back to the problem at hand- viz. what are the Incas up to.
As I said earlier there could be any number of theories, but if you eliminate all the improbable ones, the possible scenario that emerges is this: they are up to something.
I know that is a bit weak and non-conclusive, as far as accusations go, but remember, we are up against ancient master-strategists with super-natural powers.
Tintin would have rushed to Peru, in such a situation, and rightly so. That great reporter is not famous for nothing. His feet took him where his conscience led him to – remember Tintin in Tibet, where he disregarded the advice of Captain Haddock and went searching for Chang, and ultimately found him? I know I should do the same, but then, I am no reporter (no, that is untrue, I actually am, now). I mean not that adventurous type reporter who puts his head on the block and unravels mysteries – I am the type who interviews people and take them at their face value, accurately reporting what they said.
Then again, my organization is unlikely to fund my trip to Peru, or even agree to a long leave. Another hitch that I see in the plan to set sail for Peru is 'she-who-must-be-obeyed'.
You may not have noticed, but Tintin, Captain Haddock and Calculus were not married. I did notice that fact, but not early enough in my life.
Then again, I have this kid, who is also named Tintin – if he gets a whiff of any plan to go to Peru for an adventure, he is likely to insist on accompanying me. Remember that movie 'Up'? Remember how troublesome that kid was, the one who accidently accompanied the old man on his trip to Venezuela? It would definitely be a bad idea to take the kid on this adventure.
But I think I am digressing from the main point, which is, what are the Incas up to, and how to untangle facts from fiction?
As of now, I propose that we sit quiet, and wait and watch – something in the manner of Jim Corbett, who used to sit quietly on machans during the long nights in the Jungles of Kumaon, for the cunning man-eater to reveal itself. Going by that logic, I think we would need someone as a bait. Any volunteers?

Gourmet-food trucks pair with North Fork wineries
Once upon a time, wine was enough to draw summer visitors to North Fork tasting rooms. Now a cadre of gourmet food trucks are pulling into various vineyards to serve those visitors tacos, burgers and more. Meals and snacks eaten al fresco allow wine lovers to linger and perhaps buy additional bottles. If you'd like a bite along with your pinot, head to one of the following (call ahead if the weather looks iffy; on rainy days food trucks may reschedule)
The Tap Room at Bedell Cellars
On Taco Tuesdays, Noah's (Noah really gets around) pulls in with its mobile restaurant, Noah's on the Road, dishing out classics like Baja Fish tacos (crispy cod, cabbage and pico de gallo) and seasonal creations like the Farm to Taco (prosciutto-wrapped local asparagus, cabbage and lime aioli). Tacos are $5-$7 each. Thursdays belong to Pizza Rita, a wood-fired pizza oven on wheels. Choices vary but might include the Estate Picante (roasted sweet corn, mascarpone, pulled pork and jalapeño verde) and the Northforker (fresh mozzarella, mascarpone, kale, red onions and pine nuts) as well as the more traditional margherita pizza ($12-$17).

Senior Citizen Scheme-2004 of RBI
This petition had 55 supporters
In Panchatantra, Hiranyaka, the rat had the strength to jump a great height to get at the food stored by the hermit. The strength and confidence was becuase of the hoarded back at his hole.
A nice independant income goes a long way in making the life of a senior citizen tolerable; not having to depend upon others for his needs. Old people who have no means suffer, if not physically but mentally for having to look to others - feel so small when asking for something even from the son.
When people retired or got voluntary retirement they collected tidy sums. The next problem was how best to utilize that money to ensure a regular income. Banks were offering a low rate of interest which was not at all attractive.
Enter the villains - many of the old people with money were convinced to part with their money offering huge returns, so called ponzi schemes, and most lost their savings.
It is in this connection, in 2004 Reserve Bank of India introduced the Senior Citizen Saving Scheme where senior citizens were allowed to deposit their funds, up to a maximum of 15 lakhs and an interest of 9.3 per cent for a period of five years extendable for another three years. The interest rates were reduced to 9.0 and then to 8.6 percent during the 2016 budget.
However PM Mr Modi has recently announced a new and novel scheme supposed to be favouring the senior citizens in which an investment of Rs 7.5 lakhs for a period of 10 years and an interest of 8 per cent payable monthly.
It now raises a doubt about the existing scheme. With the announcement of the supposedly new scheme does the Government proposes to do away with the existing scheme? This agrees with the current trend of reducing government spending. The new scheme is in no way superior to the existing one which allows a greater deposit and a higher interest rate. The new scheme is not only a disservice to the Senior Citizens it only saves the government some small value. The main and hidden reason behind the announcement seems to pave way for the scrapping of the existing scheme and thereby reduce the government's burden.
Most of the senior citizens have worked for the country one way or another, many have retired from government service and their contribution cannot be overlooked. It is the duty of the government to ensure that these people spend their evening years in comfort and peace without having to depend solely upon their children. As mentioned above most old people without means feel bad about asking their own children for money for meeting their small needs.
Government should take care of its older citizens and not consider them as a burden. In the interest of the older citizens many of whom have contributed to the development of the country as a whole the Government should do the following:
1. Government should contribute to the welfare of its older citizens.
2. The existing senior citizens savings scheme with the 15 lakhs top limit should be continued with following modifications.
3. The period of investment should be initially 5 years renewable every 5 years.
4. The scheme must be brought as a welfare scheme.
5. The interest rate should be maintained as 9 per cent per annum payable quarterly.
6. As an alternative, the scheme should be managed by the Life Insurance Corporation. They already have a pension scheme which returns a monthly income of Rs 2000. This is a life time service for senior citizens under which the deposit is Rs 2.76 lakhs which is returned to the nominees or legal heirs on the death of the insured. The return works out to approximately 8.5 per cent.
The Prime Minister and the Finance Minister who are also senior citizens with better luck than the ordinary senior citizen should make the old people happy.

Despite strong individual performances, Georgetown University's men's and women's cross-country teams fell just short of qualifying for the 2017 NCAA Championships at the 2017 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Championships last weekend.
The top two teams at the Mid-Atlantic Region Championships advance to the 2017 NCAA Cross-Country Championships, but Georgetown's men's and women's teams fell just short of advancing in the competition with their fourth- and third-place finishes.
However, graduate student Jonathan Green and freshman Martha MacDonald have each secured a spot in the NCAA Championships with their individual performances.
For a second consecutive race, All-American Jonathan Green secured an individual win for Georgetown's men's cross-country team with a 38:28:3 time. Green won the individual title at the 2017 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Championships last Friday in Bethlehem, Pa., following his victory at the Big East Championship.
The victory helped the Hoya men earn fourth place in a field of 26 teams after arriving to the competition as the top-ranked team in the region and having won the past two years.
Going into the competition, Head Coach Brandon Bonsey expressed optimism about the team's prospects.
"The postseason is what we gear all of our training toward," Bonsey said in an interview with GUHoyas. "We did a solid job at the Big East meet and now we have to be better than that tomorrow at the regional meet. The team has come together very well the last couple weeks and I'm confident that we will see the best version of this group."
Behind Green, the Hoya's following four point-scorers all finished within 51 seconds. Junior Nick Wareham finished second for Georgetown in 17th place with a time of 30:51.3.
Wareham was followed next by senior Nick Golebiowski, who came in 28th place with a time of 31:00.0. Junior Reilly Bloomer and sophomore Jack Van Scoter took 35th place and 41th place with times of 31:08.9 and 31:19.4, respectively.
The Hoya men's final score totaled 122 points, placing them behind Princeton, Navy and Villanova. Green and Wareham were awarded All-Region titles for their performances.
Bonsey praised Green's individual performance but expressed some disappointment with the team's overall performance.
"Jon Green ran a very smart race to earn his first regional title," Bonsey said. "He closed very fast and is ready to run with the best athletes in the NCAA. I'm extremely disappointed in how our team performed . We need to look in the mirror and figure out what went wrong. This is a talented group and I'm confident we will rebound and have a great rest of the year."
Georgetown's women's cross-country team placed just ahead of the men, earning third place in a field of 28 teams with a final score of 88 points.
The Hoya women secured one place in the top 10 with Georgetown's first runner freshman Martha MacDonald coming in ninth place with a time of 20:18.4.
Director of Track and Field and Cross-Country Julie Culley praised MacDonald's race.
"Martha MacDonald had a great day today and this young team has a bright future," Culley said in an interview with GUHoyas. "She wanted to finish top 10 and she fought hard for her ninth-place finish."
Georgetown's top three finishers, including graduate student Meredith Rizzo and senior Madeline Perez, ran All-Region performances.
Rizzo earned 22nd place with a time of 20:42.3, while Perez earned 25th place with a time of 20:45.2.
Georgetown's fourth and fifth runners finished closely behind Perez, with senior Josette Norris coming in 26th place with a time of 20:47.6 and senior Kennedy Weisner coming in 27th place with a time of 20:52.5.
Following their season trend, the women's final four point-scorers formed a tight pack, finishing within a period of 10.2 seconds and bringing the team's score to 109 points.
"We had a race plan for the team going in to this meet to ensure we were one of the top two teams, and we just didn't put ourselves in a position to be successful," Culley said.
Culley expressed optimism for MacDonald going into next week's race.
"We are very excited for Martha and to see what she can do as an individual at NCAAs in a week," Culley said.
Green and MacDonald will return to competition on Saturday at the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Ky.

10 Gifts That Don't Involve More 'Stuff'/
I don't know about you but I'm already getting a bit anxious about all the 'stuff' that is about to come into my home in a little over a month's time. You know what I'm talking about: toys. Plastic toys that emit random, repetitive, rage-inducing noises, toys that will break approximately one week after they are removed from their packaging, toys that will lay forgotten in the playroom corner by February, toys, toys, toys.
We know how overwhelming it is for our families to find just the right gift for our kids (heck…it's hard enough for us to know what to get them) so this year we will encourage family members to offer gifts of experience rather than stuff. Here are a few ideas that might work for your family:
An afternoon with the gift giver – movie, mini-golf, bowling, skating, skiing, museum, pedicure, afternoon tea at the Chateau Laurier, etc.
My boys have been asking for karate lessons for months now (I suspect this has something to do with Power Rangers). This seemed like a good idea until I researched some options. Turns out karate is quite an expensive sport, as most sports are. Why not get family members to contribute to lessons? Other options: skiing, snowboarding, musical instrument, cooking, etc.
Museum Memberships
3 Museums, 1 Pass: Canadian Agriculture Museum, Canadian Aviation and Space Museum, Canadian Science and Technology Museum
Skiing/snowboarding lift passes
There are many great hills in and around Ottawa, such as:
Recreation gift certificates from the City of Ottawa : Can be used towards literally hundreds of activities across the city (including March Break camps).
Sports Equipment
Even better than new, try Play It Again Sports or ask in your Buy Nothing group!
Entertainment tickets
Shenkman Arts Centre,Centrepointe Theatre
Movie gift certificates
Art lessons
Their very own star
Buy them a star and name it after them: https://www.starregistry.ca/ (my oldest son would think this is the coolest thing ever!)
Toy Rentals
A toy rental from PlaneteFun. Host a sleepover or fun party for a group of your child's friends, and rent something really fantastic!
