text: WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. consumer confidence declined in January, giving up much of the prior month's gain, with consumers "quite downbeat" about the short-term future, the Conference Board reported Tuesday. The preliminary January consumer confidence index fell to 87.9 from a revised reading of 90.6 in December. The initial estimate for December was 88.6. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected a January reading of 87.5. "Consumers' appraisal of current business conditions is becoming more negative," said Lynn Franco, director of consumer research at the private Conference Board.

Even for those who felt his usefulness to the England national team had long gone, this is a desperately sad development.
Medicine has advanced, of course, and Beckham is a tough character, but for anyone with any knowledge of England's history, the news that Beckham flies out to Finland on Monday for an operation is particularly poignant. Helsinki was the setting for England's past grim experience with such Achilles injuries.
The story of John Barnes' invaliding on the eve of Euro 92 provides the darkest of prognosis for Beckham. Barnes was playing in a friendly in Helsinki on June 3 1992 when he collapsed screaming. Such was the excruciating pain in his lower leg, the England winger looked angrily around to see who had fouled him, even shouting abuse at Finland's innocent centre-half, Erik Holmgren.
The following morning, possibly in the same hospital awaiting the arrival of Beckham, Barnes underwent an operation; on coming round from the strong anaesthetic, he enquired of the surgeon how long he would be out for. "Seven months,'' came the reply. He made it in five months, but was never the same again.
The early word from Milan's medical people is five-six months' minimum. The reality is that Achilles damage particularly afflicts the older player, those whose elasticity has gone in their legs. At 34, Beckham was always vulnerable.
For all the talk of Milan's magical Lab, for all the hope of Beckham being a force in the World Cup, football remains a young man's game, particularly heading into a tournament like this summer's spectacle in South Africa which will be about pace, pace and more pace. The little acceleration Beckham enjoyed early in his career had already ebbed and has now been destroyed.
Yet there must be sympathy. For all the celebrity circus around Beckham, he remains a remarkably humble individual obsessed with football and he will be devastated to miss the World Cup. Beckham can still deliver for England in a World Cup but only as an ambassador, in winning the rights to host the 2018 tournament.

Lead Review
- Book: The Eight Mountains
- Location: Italian Alps
- Author: Paolo Cognetti
The majestic mountains of the Italian Alps, around the Monte Rosa massif, form the constant backdrop to this quietly unassuming novel that has already garnered plenty of praise and won several prizes (The English Pen Award, Italy's Premio Strega and the French Prix Médicis étranger).
On one level it is an amble through the lives of Bruno and Pietro who spend time in the mountains together, whose lives over the course of several decades diverge and come back together. Bruno is wedded to the stony heights, his life is forged in the gritty reality of alpine living; Pietro is a Summer visitor, who arrives from Milan with his mother to spend the weeks of clement weather exploring the pastures and bucolic nature of the meadows and peaks.
The mountains have their own rhythm and within moments the biddable and at times challenging terrain can rumble into a volte face and rain destruction on flesh and blood human beings. And it is this ever present danger of the mountains, masked by beauty, greenery and tranquility that the author captures so heartrendingly well. One false step and an avalanche can whisk away a life without a moment's hesitation.
Bruno and Pietro (or Berio as Bruno prefers to call him) are friends spanning a period of 30 years over the last years at the end of the 20th Century to early 21st Century. Pietro comes and goes, forging a film making career that takes him to Nepal, where he learns about the concept of the eight mountains of the eponymous title. Bruno is the constant, just like the peaks that range over the human lives; the two young men's lives are unequivocally enmeshed in the mountain landscape. Pietro intellectually and spiritually connects but his frail body often revolts with altitude sickness, Bruno has the constitution and determination to withstand the rigours of mountain life.
In his earlier years, when Bruno was a waif, Pietro's parents scooped him up into the bosom of the family and a real bond formed between them all leaving Pietro ambivalent – loving the proximity of his close friend, yet jealous of the bond forming between his father and his friend, underpinned by their love of the peaks. Later in life it is perhaps only a little alpeggio that Pietro can create, to honour the memory of his father, but with the help of Bruno.
As Pietro comes and goes over the years he understands that "Everything has changed, yet everything is the same" – yet it is not the same for the people. Family bonds shift, the ageing process takes over, love comes and goes… and this transient nature of the human condition, set against the solid massif that forms the tantalising paradox that drives this novel.
And a glowing acknowledgement of the translation team of Erica Segre and Simon Carnell.

Hi Chris,
Thanks. Allow me to weigh in. I think we should view prevention more broadly. What you mention is primary prevention. If secondary and tertiary prevention are considered then the line between cure and prevention gets blurred, and so does the measurement of impacts (in some respects). Those who are sick with infectious or non-communicable conditions) or injured still need knowledge to recover faster or to manage their conditions in a manner that affords them some desired quality of life.
Then there is the important matter of applying health knowledge (evidence) to public policies in a way that shapes the macro-environment. In short, this (how knowledge saves lives) is a grey area that requires conceptual and theoretical thinking and then translating that to the evaluation practice.

Landowners in Kentucky can be held liable for injuries that others sustain on their property. Whether you can recover depends upon your purpose for being on the land and the type of hazard you encounter there. The most common types of premises liability cases are slip and fall injuries — when a defective condition, foreign substance or object causes a person to fall. Premises injuries can also involve child injuries, fire and burn injuries, falling debris, workplace injuries, animal attacks and other cases involving injuries received while on property.
If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident due to a landowner's negligence, our premises liability lawyers will work hard to collect all the damages you deserve. You can recover for premises liability injuries sustained in both residential and business locations.
Sometimes slip and fall injuries and other premises liability accidents are catastrophic and may cause permanent scarring or disfigurement, broken bones, brain or spine injuries, or even death. If you have been injured on another's property due to negligence, let premises liability attorney Flora Templeton Stuart begin investigating as soon as possible. Although you generally have one year to file your claim, we recommend contacting an experienced premises liability attorney as soon as possible because we must preserve vital evidence and locate potential witnesses while this event is still fresh in their memories. Also, a property owner might make quick repairs before you file your personal injury claim. If possible, take photographs of the accident scene and your injuries, and write down the names and addresses of any eyewitnesses. Let one of our slip and fall injury attorneys help you get the compensation you deserve in your premises liability case.
The key to winning a premises liability case is to prove that the property owner or management was negligent and their negligence caused your injuries. An experienced slip and fall injury lawyer will help you secure the evidence you need to win your case.
- Slip and fall injuries caused by standing water, ice, snow, or slippery floors
- Trip and fall injuries caused by damaged walkways or stairs, or poor upkeep
- Construction site injuries, particularly involving persons other than workers
- Inadequate security (lights, surveillance) resulting in an assault by a third party
- Serious burns from fire or faulty wiring or plumbing
- Any other defect on property causing injury
- Dangerous dogs or animals that cause injury
Proving negligence is the key in your slip or trip and fall injury case, but it can be difficult.
Remember that just because you were injured on someone's property does not mean that the property owner was negligent. The property owner has to be proven careless or negligent (has done something wrong or unsafe) in order for you to recover damages in a premises liability claim. If the property owner was negligent, they must pay for losses caused by the dangerous condition of the property.
In order to win a slip and fall accident or other premises liability claim, the injured person must prove:
- The condition of the property was dangerous.
- The owner knew, or should have known, about the dangerous condition.
- The owner had a reasonable opportunity to correct or warn of the condition, which was not reasonably open and obvious to the injured party at the time of the accident.
- In terms of rental property, the landlord could be held liable for your damages.
If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident or other premises liability incident, you need an experienced premises liability attorney knowledgeable with Kentucky law and personal injury on your side. Your first consultation is free and we are not paid unless you recover. Our firm has offices in Bowling Green and Glasgow, but we represent clients throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, and the nation. Call Warren and Barren County, Kentucky slip and fall accident lawyer Flora Templeton Stuart at (888) 782-9090 for a free initial consultation twenty-four hours a day/seven days a week.

Premises liability cases involve injuries received while on property – including business and residential property – due to the negligence of the property owner, renter, or other party responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the property. The most common type of premises liability claims due to slip and fall injuries — when a defective condition, foreign substance or object causes a person to fall. Other types of premises liability injury cases include:
- Trip and fall injuries caused by damaged walkways or stairs, or poor upkeep
- Falling debris resulting in personal injury
- Construction site injuries, particularly involving persons other than workers
- Inadequate security (lights, surveillance) resulting in an assault by a third party
- Serious burns from fire or faulty wiring or plumbing defects
- Workplace injuries caused by improper maintenance or other property issue
- Nursing home negligence causing falls by a resident
- Any other defect on property causing injury
- Dangerous dogs or animals that cause injury
Land owners/renters have the duty to maintain a safe property, and most premises liability injuries could be avoided if maintenance is performed properly. The property owner/renter has the responsibility to repair or remove any hazard that could cause injury to others. If the hazard cannot be repaired or removed, the owner/renter has the duty to adequately warn others of the hazard to prevent injury. Common causes of premises liability injuries include standing water or slippery floors, changes in flooring level or surface (such as changing from tile to carpet), uneven gravel or pavement, cracked or damaged sidewalks or walkways, broken or loose handrails, foreign objects in walkways, potholes or curbs, inadequate lighting, and faulty wiring.
The injuries sustained from slip and fall or premises liability accidents are usually minor and may include bruising, strains, sprains, or fractures. Sometimes severe injuries can result including multiple broken bones or catastrophic injuries such as permanent scarring or disfigurement, brain or spine injuries, or even death. The elderly are especially susceptible to fractures from falls, and children are frequent victims of fall-related deaths—although people of any age can be injured in premises liability accidents. In severe premises liability or slip and fall accidents, victims may need rehabilitation or ongoing medical treatment. A victim's ability work could also be affected. An experienced premises liability or slip and fall accident attorney can evaluate your case and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Unfortunately the wind soon put pay to the day for a lot. Reports of being blown into fences, off your bike and having to push up the hill and pedal down!!! Or getting lost, meant very few completed the three runs. As a result of the conditions there are not any results posted just a big pat on the back to all who gave it a go in such appalling conditions.
Now that we have given it a go and there was such a great response I will start to work on Enduro #2.
If anyone has suggestions to improve the format, ideas for runs or just wants to come out for a ride and log the runs give me a yell on 021344933 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
A big thanks to all who turned up, I hope the wind has not put you off and See you all( plus friends) at Unofficial Enduro #2 coming soon to a track near you.
Keep the rubber down,

GMO Salmon Is Approved and Unlabeled — But We're Suing to Stop It! by Food & Water WatchWednesday 13 April 2016
Food & Water Watch and a coalition of fishing, consumer and environmental groups are suing the FDA for approving GMO salmon.
This is the first time any government has approved a genetically engineered animal for human consumption â and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it under a 1938 law meant for "animal drugs."

Cultivated GMOs Worldwide 2009 (from ISAAA)Wednesday 24 February 2010
PUBLICATION OF THE ISAAA REPORT - February 2010
After 14 years of commercial release, GMOs are reaching 8.9% of world cultures. These GMOs are distributed only in4 plants (soya, maize, cotton, colza or canola), and the 2 first ones represent 83% of these, despite numerous other unused authorizations. They all are pesticide plants modified either to be herbicide tolerant (i.e. to absorb an herbicide like Roundup without dying - 62.4%), or to produce one or two new insecticides (21.4%), or both. Other promised characters are not there. America groups 89% of GMOs in surface, or 97% of food and feed GMOs excluding the indian and chinese cotton. On this continent GMOs are not labeled nor assessed more than three months on mammalian health before acceptance, and often not at all anymore with blood analyses. They are thus more easily spread out. By contrast Europe cultivates less than 0.2% of GMOs, overall in Spain.
We regret that a body like ISAAA begins its report by "biotech crops and their vital contribution to the alleviation of poverty, hunger and malnutrition" citing a 1970 Nobel Prize, since these GMOs have from the beginning fed essentially porcs, cows and poultry of rich countries.

Swanswater Fishery, Stirlingshire
As the week went on, the weather went from cold, lying snow and ice to a couple of calm sunny days with milder temperatures and the fish responded to the improvement. There were some excellent days fishing from Thursday to Saturday, despite the wind on Saturday, and some great bags were taken. The fish are mainly in the channel and round the back of the islands and are generally around 2 to 4 feet deep. Most were taking small lures – Cat's Whisker and Dancer being the most popular – and some nymphs including Damsel. A slow to moderate retrieve was required and those fishing under indicators were not doing as well as those retrieving. The Fishery is still open every day from 8am to 4.30pm
Amongst those doing well this week were Henry Fulton, from Greenock, 3 fish for 14lb 8oz including an 8lb 8oz rainbow; Kyle Crossan, Stirling, 4 for 15lb including a 6lb rainbow; Danny Doherty, Denny, 5 for 21lb including 2 golds, the bigger one at 4lb 12oz, plus 5 released; Nan Morrison, Stirling, 4 for 12lb 8oz; Rab Cooper, Dunfermline, 3 for 10lb 8oz including 2 blues; Jim Spiers, Falkirk, 3 for 9lb 12oz; Alan Armstrong, Dollar, 3 for 9lb 8oz including 2 blues and a gold; Bill Mouat, Shotts, 3 for 9lb including 4lb gold from the Millpond; Douglas Kelly, Mark Sheridan, and Graeme Gillespie, Glasgow, shared 6 for 18lb 4oz; Jim McInnes, Falkirk, 2 for 8lb; Liam Roberts, Oban, 2 for 7lb 8oz; Neil Sharp, Dollar, 2 for 7lb 5oz; Andy Tervit, Paisley, 4lb 2oz gold; Mark Bradley, Helensburgh, caught and released 10' Colin Parsons, Helensburgh, caught and released 9.

Government analysis, assessment and research activities
Report: Electric and gas vehicles need cost-efficient support measures
The high purchase prices of electric vehicles and challenges of charging in housing companies are currently slowing down the development of the electric vehicle market and public charging infrastructure and the natural growth of the electric vehicle base. A cost-efficient way to accelerate the market would be to introduce more electric vehicles to the vehicle base, but this will require effective promotion measures in the next few years.
The goal set a year ago in the national energy and climate strategy, 250,000 electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids and 50,000 gas vehicles by 2030, seems possible to reach even with the current measures according to the recently completed "Sähkö- ja kaasuautojen kustannustehokkaat edistämistoimet - GASELLI" (Cost-efficient measures to promote electric and gas vehicles) project.
The project surveyed the alternatives of accelerating the development by modelling changes in the car base in scenarios prepared with a system dynamic model. The model was used for surveying the impacts of different promotion measures, and the cost efficiency of the measures with regard to the development of the market share of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids was reviewed based on the results. Steering measures with effects on electric vehicles surveyed with the model included influencing the purchase price (car tax and purchase subsidy), road tax, promoting charging at home, promoting company cars and communications and marketing.
"According to the modelling, adopting additional promotion measures would make it possible to reach an electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid base that is significantly, at least two times, larger than the goal by 2030," says Project Manager Mikko Pihlatie at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
The availability and price of gas vehicles are not currently obstacles to their purchase. With regard to gas vehicles, the most important thing is to continue to expand the refuelling infrastructure. In areas where gas is available, there is no reason to postpone the purchase of a gas vehicle, as they are currently ready solutions for the cost-efficient reduction of emissions.
The biggest obstacles to the increase in the market share of electric vehicles are the high purchase prices, currently limited range of models and challenges with the implementation of at-home charging in housing companies.
"The construction of charging points in housing companies and workplaces should be made easier and encouraged, even though interest in building charging points has arisen to some extent among housing companies after the survey last spring," says Marko Paakkinen, Senior Scientist at VTT.
At the beginning of the project, 93% of the housing companies that responded to the Finnish Real Estate Federation's renovation barometer had not yet taken any measures with regard to the charging of electric vehicles, but in the survey conducted in autumn 2018, already one-fifth of housing companies reported that they are planning to build charging points in 2018–2021. The Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland (ARA) currently grants subsidies to housing companies for modifications of property electrical systems required by charging points.
Diverse incentives for electric vehicles are still necessary
High purchase price is mentioned in several surveys as the biggest obstacle to purchasing an electric vehicle, including the survey conducted in this project. According to the analysis of the results of the modelling, influencing the purchase price was found to be a cost-efficient promotion measure. Fully-electric vehicles are expected to be on a par with combustion-engine vehicles in terms of purchase price around 2025, after which incentives will no longer be necessary. The best time for the use of incentives influencing price is actually right now, with the total number of vehicles still low and the price difference the greatest.
"According to the analysis performed in the project, the most cost-efficient promotion measures were influencing the purchase price of the vehicle, by way of car tax or direct purchase subsidy, for example. In addition to this, the most cost-efficient promotion measures found in the project analysis included promoting charging in terraced buildings and blocks of flats as well as communications and marketing," Pihlatie continues.
New electric vehicle models, both fully-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, are being launched at an accelerating rate, and the market is developing at a rapid rate. More than 200 new electric vehicle models are expected to enter the market by 2025. Even though the model range of electric vehicles is still limited, the features of the current models would already meet the needs of most households. Communications and marketing are effective ways to promote the demand for existing electric vehicle models.
Incentives for companies
An effective way to increase the market of second-hand electric and gas vehicles would be to incentivise low-emission options in the procurement of company cars; this might take place through the taxational value of car benefits, for example. Charging electric vehicles at workplaces should also be promoted to make it possible to purchase second-hand electric vehicles as commuting cars in particular, as well as to turn electric vehicles into resources in the smart grid in the future. Encouraging charging should be remembered in plug-in hybrids acquired under unlimited car benefit; with free fuel, the user of the car might not be tempted to acquire a home charging station at their own cost. With regard to these cars, a home charging station could be considered a standard accessory to the car.
The publication was prepared as part of implementing the government plan for analysis, assessment and research for 2018.

Yesterday, while waiting in the EPU which was extremely full, I realised (well, I already knew, but it just confirmed things even more than what I already knew) that my husband is a complete and utter saint. Ladies came in who were further down the queue, or due appointments. Shaun remained standing by me (I was seated), and after there was no more room to sit down, only one other man stood up to offer his seat to the pregnant women who came in. It was shameful – I mean, at least ask! So spotty spoddy boy, and bald hat man, shame on you both. Chav boy and Chav mum (they were with Chav Daughter), shame on you too.
In the end Shaun stood for two hours. See? A bloody thoughtful man there. (with added bonus point to long haired beardy man who also gave up his seat more than twice). Respect also to man next to us who sat on the floor next to his pregnant lady. I wish there were more people like these. Shaun was a little less polite about them and used bad swear words.

The amount of women and men becoming influenced by recurrent bouts of heartburn is increasing temukan lebih banyak. We have been now knowledgeable that it's our way of life that may be unquestionably generating the discomfort at the rear with the chest bone and unsightly emotion of burning from the esophagus and throat. Heartburn and diarrhea will likely be a wonderful living proof of how getting the inaccurate kinds of foodstuff can have a few large variety of issues which retains the human body imbalanced.
Heartburn is recognized by acid reflux. The meals items we try to eat, combined with abdomen acid, goes almost the esophagus and can make suffering while within the upper entire body and burning though from the throat. It really is due to a weaken muscle mass regarding the esophagus and stomach that is certainly the bring about of heartburn. The muscle mass involving the abdomen and esophagus is softened when it comes into get in contact with any foodstuff that irritates it. This muscle will not most likely function correct and acid escapes to the esophagus,
The bigger manufacture of acid within the tummy, induced by different kinds of foods objects, may well lead to heartburn to be intensified. Lots of the extreme acid can again again up into esophagus, nonetheless additionally, it usually benefits in acute diarrhea. Due to the fact diarrhea usually takes place in the correct very same time as heartburn, we definitely really feel like they're triggering one another.
Foodstuff transferring slowly and gradually but surely via the stomach may also set off heartburn resulting from the actual fact further belly acid is required for digestion which additional acid could wind up with the esophagus. What we consume could induce diarrhea also as gradual movement of food items things in the course of the stomach.
Just in case you system to choose any pharmaceuticals to struggle your heartburn, be mindful just because many of these have aluminum hydroxide in them that has been recognised to deliver about diarrhea in sure people.
Diarrhea may also be induced proton pump inhibitors. A proton pump inhibitor perform would be to gradual down the generation of belly acid but just one possible part influence that will manifest might be the danger of obtaining a circumstance of diarrhea.
Regardless that diarrhea occurs with the lessen aspect of abdomen and heartburn in the esophagus. The trouble may very well be felt as a result of the many digestive method. Various perfectly being problems could possibly be traced to an incapability of all-natural vitamins starting to be absorbed inside the method on account of an imbalance in abdomen acid manufacturing.
When heartburn and diarrhea come about within the identical time, we'd be hunting at two fully unique over-all health difficulties. For illustration, a person is often suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and heartburn in the equivalent time. It really is very crucial that you go see a wellbeing treatment company if heartburn and diarrhea takes place frequently. An acceptable prognosis and process are necessary. There are fairly some very well becoming concerns that could be the tip result of prolonged diarrhea.
Heartburn can take place through the use of a large variety of other digestive problems. Despite the fact that these other circumstances could not be straight connected to acid reflux disorder, inadequate consuming habits and bad diet regime will even so produce about trouble towards your digestive plan. Just ahead of resorting to effective pharmaceuticals, it's sensible to test and get back again digestive method equilibrium by switching for the more healthy diet program regime, rich in fruits, greens, complete wheat grains, lean meats in addition to a substantial amount of h2o. Warning regarding ingesting could possibly be the best guideline.

In the past few months I have had four people 'drop' me. As in stop replying to my messages, stop initiating contact with me and even block me out of their life completely. One was my now ex of three years, one was a girl I had feelings for (which were reciprocated), one was a very close friend for about a year and one is someone I consider/ed another very good friend.
Relationships change. They start, they finish, they fade out, they come back, they disappear. I understand that. And often in life when people have huge changes going on like a family crisis or a new job or home, they lose touch with people they once knew. I understand this. I also appreciate and accept that 'online relationships' (platonic or not) are prone to not lasting long as it is relatively easy to lose contact with them. But it is also easy to stay in contact with someone. If you want to, you can spend half a minute sending someone a text, you can spend five seconds sending them a snapchat, you can give them a phone call whilst on the train somewhere. Nowadays is it so easy to remain in contact with someone with the most minimal of effort on both parts. I'd just like to emphasise that someone taking a while to reply, or someone not starting a conversation because they have anxiety, or someone being busy is not what I am talking about here. Especially not if they have explained this to the other person (as they should if possible… again, it takes just a minute to drop them a text and explain you're busy etc.).
However what I do not understand is when people simply drop you. When they see your message but don't reply, when they know you're having a rough time, but they don't speak to you, when you outright tell them that you are upset. People have the right to choose who is and is not in their life, but what the other person deserves is you to explain why you are ignoring them or why you don't want to have them in your life anymore and vice versa rather than just leaving them hanging, thinking it's their own fault.
I think sadly this is the part many people struggle with. It is easier, especially on the internet, to just ignore someone – to stop replying or even block them – so you don't have to deal with feeling guilty or explaining that they are bothering you or you just don't feel as close to them anymore. It is okay if you just don't feel as close to them anymore. It is okay to be in a new relationship and have that take up a lot of your time, or feel like you've grown up and started a new stage in your life which they just don't fit in anymore. That is okay. But what is not okay is just cutting them off.
This is of course worse if it's a relationship or close friendship, but even someone you've just known a few weeks, suddenly ignoring you and not explaining why, leaves the person wondering what they did wrong, why they deserved to be treated this way, and leaves them feeling hurt and like they can't trust other people. It is not fair for your cowardice or your lack of bothering to speak to them, to jeopardise someone's future relationships. It is selfish.
As I said before, although technology is great as it means you can meet people who live far away or maintain friendships with people who move, it also makes it easier for people to cut others out of their lives. This is not necessarily a comment on technology or its impact, but a comment on people and how their feelings of social responsibility has diminished.
Maybe I am taking all this to heart when I should shrug it off; maybe I'm strange in that I expect a reply within a few days from someone (if they've seen my message); maybe I'm over-sensitive about my 'friend' not being their when I inform them of a really bad situation I'm in; maybe I am weird because I feel like it is unfair for me to put all the effort into maintaining a relationship. But maybe, actually, the people who have more power in the relationship, the people who know you'll call them again tomorrow or remind you to text them back… maybe those people are the ones to blame.
Riot ❤
Disclaimer: as I said, this post was 'inspired' by people who have left my life – therefore, if you are reading it now and know me please do not feel it is about you or worry about it. This is simply a topic I feel strongly about a know affects a lot of people. It is not directly aimed at anyone.

I have only met a select number of individuals who have intentionally created a strategic plan for their life, which can ultimately serve as a personal safety net for when the bottom falls out.
Who actually has a Plan B to put into action when the bottom falls out?
I am not talking about a 401K, or an emergency fund for support when a financial crisis hits. I am referring to the type of fall-out that is beyond financial recovery. Despite popular belief, money IS NOT the save-all solution when disaster strikes. I know that may come as a surprise to some of you and somewhat hard to believe, but it's a well-proven fact.
While having a financial cushion to fall on during hard times is a wise decision and a life goal to accomplish, money most certainly cannot provide stability during a psychological or emotional breakdown, it cannot restore a fragile and troubled relationship, money certainly can't undo a pending divorce, or reverse a terminal illness, and it definitely can't heal the effects of a tragic accident or death of a loved one. As beneficial as money can be, it is not a key component in the restoration process when the bottom falls out.
Aside from money, there are a number of other things which people turn to in hopes of restoring their own sense of normalcy, most of which only contribute more to the problem. Extramarital affairs, substance use and abuse, or other destructive behaviors which only add fuel to the already out-of-control inferno. Fall Outs are a really hard place to be in and if there is no Plan B to resort to, lives will inevitably go in a wide range of unsafe, unhealthy and unholy directions Very Quickly!
Why it is necessary to have a Plan B!
Anyone who has ever experienced the bottom falling out can testify to the fact that right after the bottom falls out, all hell breaks loose, lives get flipped turned upside down, emotions are scattered all over the place, chaos shows up at every turn, door after door gets slammed shut, then one break down and obstacle after another comes barging in with little to no help or relief in sight. Not to mention, everyone around "appears" to be untrustworthy, undependable, or not genuinely concerned with what is happening in your life. But, it's not the end of the world, and Redemption is not as far off as one may believe.
Bottom Fall-Outs can be very brutal, difficult to navigate and are hard to bounce back from, especially when their is no Plan B. Even with a Plan B, the journey will still be challenging. At least with a plan to fall back on, it makes the trek back to normalcy more tolerable and manageable. And as hard as it may be to wrap your mind around this fact, Fall Outs are not always linked to something that you have done wrong. AND Most Importantly Fall Outs have significant spiritual value.
SO…How does one create a Plan B?
Creating a Plan B for any event in life takes nothing short of being Intentional.
Strategically making preparations ahead of time is not something that most people think about doing, until the inevitable happens. Then they find themselves in the midst of the chaos with no clue on how to navigate through to the other side. It is only after-the-fact that they come to realize the importance of planning ahead.
This particular type of life preparation is more than the typical planning ahead that most people think about. For instance, purchasing life insurance for the future financial peace of your family in the event of your death, or creating a financial cushion for when the layoff comes, or having a back-up plan in the event the mortgage company forecloses on the family home, etc.
You can be sure that when the bottom falls, there will be no time to stop and create a strategic plan of action. Because when the bottom falls out, the walls also begin to close in all around you and the ceiling is but moments away from crashing down. So a Plan B is definitely something that needs to be intentionally created well in advance.
I have read several articles, blogs and self-help books on the topic of creating a personal strategic plan for life, which can ultimately assist one in the event of a fall out. While there are no fool-proof scientific methods of survival, it is still worth putting in the effort to create your own personal back up plan because Your Life and all of its events are worth planning for.
Why? Because Your life and all of its events have eternal significance and purpose.

What an Engineer Needs to Know About Commercial Kitchen Ventilation
Collaboration is an essential ingredient to successful projects. A commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) project is not just comprised of engineers tasked with building the right system; it also involves asking questions and knowing specifics in order to get things right.
When designing kitchen ventilation, engineers need to remember that it should fuse with what the exhaust system is doing when cooking activities are taking place. While the exhaust can be dictated by the kind of kitchen equipment being used, the commercial hood installed matters just as much. One problem that arises is that the hood isn't typically picked out by the engineer so they are not familiar with its features.
Since hood selection affects the performance of the ventilation system, it is crucial that engineers collaborate with everyone involved in the project.
Understanding Codes, Standards, and Guidelines
It is useful to review CKV codes and standards before starting a project to ensure all design considerations are taken into account. Industry guidelines and best practice recommendations from commercial hood makers also should be taken into consideration.
Certain hotels or restaurants may also have specific requirements or internal guidelines for their kitchen. This stresses the importance of collaboration for everyone involved, especially during the early design phase when being clear about requirements is crucial.
Also important to consider are the specific ordinances that municipalities might have.
Talking about Problems Early On
A conversation with the kitchen consultant regarding past experiences can result in gaining important insights. Discussions also allow all parties to bring up concerns so that they may be addressed early on.
Issues that can be brought up during conversations include:
- the effective capture of heat, air laden with grease, and smoke
- the comfort of everyone in the kitchen
- the selection of a diffuser that can handle the needed make-up air
Selecting the Right Supply Air Diffuser Device
It is important for commercial kitchens to have the right kind of supply air diffuser device because it affects the performance of the ventilation system. Keep in mind that not every commercial kitchen is the same. Some have equipment that others don't and some are bigger than others. All of these factors need to be taken into account to get the right device.
Thinking about Grease Management
Engineers need to collaborate with architects and kitchen consultants to ensure proper grease management. Grease control is part of a commercial hood's responsibility, but so much also depends on the kind of kitchen equipment being used. As you can see, it's important to get everyone involved to ensure the design of a suitable CKV.
A properly ventilated CKV takes a lot of factors into consideration. It takes into account codes, standards, and guidelines and it involves collaboration between all parties from the very beginning. Just because a particular design worked in the past doesn't mean it is applicable for another project. Keep in mind that there are other factors such as kitchen equipment and space that need to be considered.
Exhaust Hood Depot is proud to offer its services Nationwide and to the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland and their major cities and surrounding areas: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Erie, Baltimore, Frederick, Annapolis, and Rockville

Arthur Kar "Pyjama All Day" in Los Angeles
The French car dealer and street culture guru gives advice on how to spend one's vacation in LA.
Not much is officially known about Arthur Kar. Aside from the random social postings of him rubbing shoulders with your favorite designers and artists, Kar runs a successful luxury car dealership named L'art de L'automobile, which has racked up a loyal but mysterious clientele that requires him to split his working hours between Paris and Los Angeles.
Aside from his love for cars, there's no denying Kar's penchant for street culture, often pairing his sneaker of the day with that of his favorite automotive. In this segment, we cruise with Kar — who's clad in his cozy attire of choice – through Los Angeles in his Mercedes G63 AMG. From Beverly Hills to Malibu, the carefree Kar takes us to the eateries where he recoups when life gets a little frantic, before heading to the sneaker clandestine of Project Blitz, and rounding out our trip in the Hollywood Hills. Not your usual tourist guide, Kar provides honest vacation tips from a European transplant who's grown to love his second home.

New Mutants #36 (1986, February)
Now we get to the New Mutants tie-ins to Secret Wars II. By Claremont and Wilshire, "Subway To Salvation!"
Bobby's being tested. He has to hold up a heavy weight, and Magneto doubles the weight to further test him. Bobby figures Magneto doesn't think he can handle it, so he proves Magneto wrong. Bobby's pissed off at Magneto for trying to increase Sunspot's power. He just wants to be able to live his life in peace. Magneto talks to Nurse Sharon about Bobby's growing anger and alienation, which started after first meeting the Beyonder. In the locker room, Bobby looks at a photo of Juliana and cries, wishing he'd died with her. He feels like, with the Beyonder around, nothing means anything any more.
In the New York Public Library, Kitty is doing some research on Norse mythology, inspired by the recent Asgard Adventures. Illyana's on the subway, after a shopping trip at Boomingdale's, on her way to meet Kitty. The train comes to a sudden stop, and a light appears. Everyone else runs, but she stays, and the Beyonder greets her. She summons her Soulsword and attacks, but he takes it away from her and says he's there to help her. He pulls up her Darkchild, and then does something to restore her natural balance and make her a good person. The subway car bursts out of the ground and flies off.
Back at the library, Kitty is startled by the sudden appearance of the Soulsword. She wonders why Illyana's stuff was sent to her, since she's not a sorceress, but sets that question aside until she can figure out what happened to Illyana. She hears a roar from the main hall, and rushes in to find a giant monster. She dispels it with the Soulsword, but there's others.
Back at the Mansion, the Mutants are having a pool party. Sam sees something in the air, and flies up to check it out, while the others are attacked by a monster coming out of a portal. Warlock kills it by draining its lifeforce. Sam, meanwhile, sees the flying subway car, and Illyana invites him in to learn what she's learned. The train lands, and Illyana and Sam start trying to convince everyone to worship the Beyonder. Sam specifically mentions the book Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke. Dani wants to know more about the demon, and Illyana casually explains it's a lesser demon of the elder host breaking through the weakened barrier between dimensions in an attempt to conquer the Earth. (An editor's note mentions one appearing in Power Pack #20.)
Illyana says the demons are no big deal, since the Beyonder's so much more powerful, and that they should just submit to him. Rahne refuses rather passionately, calling it blasphemy. Shan also says she's content with her own beliefs. Sam decides they have no choice but to show them what they mean, so he blasts and grabs Amara. Warlock stops him from taking her into the car, so Illyana grabs him instead, and starts shifting his perceptions and beliefs. Dani tries to save him by summoning Illyana's fear, but an actual giant demon shows up.
The demon is wearing Kitty on a necklace. It says that with her Lifesoul, and one more, the gateway will be open. The Mutants attack, but can't do anything. The demon rips a Bloodstone out of Kitty. Dani yells at Illyana to save Kitty. She says Kitty would make any sacrifice for Illyana, and that Illyana needs to do the same. Illyana takes back her magicks, and her evil. She channels a blast through the Soulsword, then she slashes it in half to dispel it back to its own dimension.
This was pretty good. Better than most SW2 tie-ins, though still not as good as most issues of New Mutants. The demon stuff was the best part. It touches again on the mysterious, never-actually-explained link between Kitty and Illyana. Illyana does make a comment about Kitty being "cast as a guardian." This is also never actually revisited. It could mean Illyana's stuff goes to Kitty because Kitty is next in line, so to speak, to guard the realm. Or it could be that Kitty is next in line because of her connection to Illyana. Either way, unfortunately, it's not something that Claremont ever really built on in any meaningful way. It's a shame that it was never explored in more depth, because it's a really interesting idea.
The opening with Bobby was good, though it did get a little bit angsty. Also, Claremont forgot that Bobby never actually met the Beyonder – he wasn't present when the Mutants first encountered him. It can be explained away as Bobby hearing about the Beyonder, and being scared by what he heard. Or something. Whatever, it's not important.
Wilshire's art is OK. It's Sienkewicz-like, but it's not Sienkewicz. Though he does do the inking. Still, it's a clear step down from his time on pencils. It's not as atmospheric. It has a bit lighter a tone, which is funny, considering this is done when Magneto is running the school. You'd think that would be pretty dark. This issue has demons and brainwashing, to boot, so yeah, Sienkewicz would've been way better. Ah, well.

April 2008
After attending "Too Young to Wed," a congressional briefing sponsored by the International Center for Research on Women, I can say that the problem of child marriage is much bigger than I had thought. Additionally, I am convinced that child marriage is a symptom of larger problems in developing countries, all of which are interrelated and stem from poverty.
We were welcomed by Tamara Krenin, the Director of Women and Population at the UN Foundation. The program began with a moving film called "The Bride Price," providing the audience with background on child marriage, early pregnancies, and the general lack of opportunities that await girls all over the world.
In attendance were two experts who spoke about their work devoted to preventing child marriage. Dr. Anju Malhotra, the Vice President for Social and Economic Development at ICRW, presented some of ICRW's most recent research findings. The data demonstrated the seriousness of the problem of child marriage in many parts of the world, and primarily in West Africa and South Asia. The studies we viewed showed in various manners that poverty is directly correlated with child marriage. Dr. Malhotra also presented a list of the twenty countries with the highest rate of child marriage—here, child marriage was defined as marriage before the age of eighteen. Of these twenty countries, she explained, fourteen of them are receiving U.S. financial assistance. She made this point in order to say that there are avenues already in place for working to prevent child marriage in many countries.
The second speaker was Mr. Tilahun Giday, the Country Representative for Pathfinder International's Ethiopia program. Mr. Giday shared his experience as an Ethiopian regarding the many challenges of his organization's work. Pathfinder International's mission is to provide women in developing countries with access to reproductive care and health education. Child marriage is of concern to the organization because of its correlation to placing girls at higher risk of contracting HIV and other STDs, developing fistula or dying as a result of obstructed labor.
One frustrating challenge that Mr. Giday recounted is the observation from foreigners that Pathfinder and other organizations represent merely an imposition of Western values upon traditional Ethiopian culture. To counter this idea, he explained that his own sister was married at the age of nine and now has seven children and a very difficult life, and he wishes she had been able to pursue education and her own goals before marrying. In addition, he drew an analogy between the situation of slavery in the United States and the practice of child marriage in countries like Ethiopia, showing how the "cultural relativism" argument would have allowed slavery to continue to be legal, just as it would permit child marriage to go on.
Finally, Ms. Krenin and the representatives from the ICRW encouraged the attendants to consider some of the ways to take action to prevent child marriage from occurring. The most compelling form of action was H.R. 3175, a bill that has been proposed by Member of Congress Betty McCollum from Minnesota. This bill is meant to "prevent child marriage and promote the rights of girls throughout the developing world." It aims to "enable girls to grow, learn and pass through childhood without being forced into marriage." The bill is currently co-sponsored by Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Member of Congress from Texas. H.R. 3175 would declare child marriage to be a human rights abuse and make it a foreign policy goal of the U.S. to promote the elimination of child marriage. It would also direct USAID to develop a strategy to prevent child marriage and promote the empowerment of girls, authorize greater integration and coordination of existing U.S. assistance programs to prevent child marriage and promote girls' success in high incident countries, and authorize $25 million a year for give years to prevent child marriage.
In addition to urging our representatives to support H.R. 3175, Ms. Krenin advised all in attendance to spread the word to our friends, families, and colleagues about the harm being caused by child marriages, and the benefits seen by societies that have learned to prolong marriage. Lastly, Mr. Giday commented that he sees the United States as a nation of generous people who truly care for their brothers and sisters across the world, and he expressed his gratitude for this sentiment.

|ASA Statement of Faith
Share |
What does the ASA believe?
As an organization, the ASA does not take a position when there is honest disagreement between Christians on an issue. We are committed to providing an open forum where controversies can be discussed without fear of unjust condemnation. Legitimate differences of opinion among Christians who have studied both the Bible and science are freely expressed within the Affiliation in a context of Christian love, humility and concern for truth.
Our platform of faith has four important planks:
1. We accept the divine inspiration, trustworthiness and authority of the Bible in matters of faith and conduct.
2. We confess the Triune God affirmed in the Nicene and Apostles' creeds, which we accept as brief, faithful statements of Christian doctrine based upon Scripture.
3. We believe that in creating and preserving the universe God has endowed it with contingent order and intelligibility, the basis of scientific investigation.
4. We recognize our responsibility, as stewards of God's creation, to use science and technology for the good of humanity and the whole world.
These four statements of faith spell out the distinctive character of the ASA, and we uphold them in every activity and publication of the Affiliation.
There are some remarkably persistent misconceptions that prevent us from having a proper understanding of Christianity and its relationship with natural science. Let's examine a few:
Exclusive - Many people believe that Christian groups are social cliques where everyone thinks the same way, and there is no tolerance for diverse viewpoints. Far too often, this is exactly the case — but the ASA operates according to a different model. We believe that there is room for open dialogue, and that honest disagreements have the potential to enrich our understanding.
None of us has mastered every domain of knowledge, and we are eager to interact with those from a variety of backgrounds. While full ASA members are professionals in science who profess Christian faith, the larger ASA community is inclusive of everyone who is eager to learn about issues of science and faith.
Dull - God is not static, dull, or risk-averse. So why should Christians be? Jesus told us to follow him. Since he was always on the move during his ministry, we have to be prepared for rapid change and reorientation.
Doubts and Uncertainty - Many people think that having doubts and uncertainty about God is a sign of weak faith. Doubts can lead to questions, and questions can lead us to investigate new vistas.
Nature is truly awe-inspiring. Throughout history, humans have endeavored to comprehend its complexity, appreciate its beauty, and unravel its mysteries. Modern civilization in particular has explored and investigated our surroundings at a dizzying pace.
But does this imply that science will enable us to understand everything? Will science eventually enable us to dispense with religion, philosophy, art, and literature?
Given its remarkable track record, many people have developed tremendous faith in science to solve all our problems, answer all our questions, even save humanity from self-destruction. In our age, science has taken on many of the attributes that other societies have ascribed to God.
So is faith in God compatible with the rigorous study of the natural world? We can't possibly answer this question without thoroughly investigating many possibilities. We must dive in, confront our anxieties, and push forward in the midst of uncertainty. What good is faith if it makes us afraid to learn new ideas? What good is science if it prevents us from asking big questions?
Wherever you stand now, challenge yourself.

How much is your car worth?
Get the best value for your car from an Asbury dealership.
The Escape SE/SEL/Titanium's optional driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Rav4 doesn't offer a driver alert monitor.
Both the Escape and the Rav4 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, front wheel drive, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, rearview cameras, available collision warning systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, front and rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.
There are over 2 times as many Ford dealers as there are Toyota dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Escape's warranty.
J.D. Power and Associates rated the Escape second among compact SUVs in their 2018 Initial Quality Study. The Rav4 isn't in the top three in its category.
J.D. Power and Associates' 2018 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Ford vehicles are better in initial quality than Toyota vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Ford fifth in initial quality, above the industry average. With 15 more problems per 100 vehicles, Toyota is ranked 17th, below the industry average.
The Escape Titanium's standard 2.0 turbo 4 cyl. produces 42 more horsepower (245 vs. 203) and 91 lbs.-ft. more torque (275 vs. 184) than the Rav4's 2.5 DOHC 4 cyl.
As tested in Motor Trend the Escape Titanium 2.0 turbo 4 cyl. is faster than the Toyota Rav4:
Zero to 60 MPH
6.8 sec
8.8 sec
Quarter Mile
15.2 sec
16.8 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile
In heavy traffic or at stoplights the Escape EcoBoost's engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. (Start/Stop isn't accounted in present EPA fuel mileage tests.) The Rav4 doesn't offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
The Escape has 1.2 gallons more fuel capacity than the Rav4 (15.7 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.
The Escape has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it's removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Rav4 doesn't offer a cap-less fueling system.
For better stopping power the Escape EcoBoost's front brake rotors are larger than those on the Rav4:
Escape EcoBoost
Front Rotors
12.6 inches
12 inches
The Escape stops much shorter than the Rav4:
60 to 0 MPH
112 feet
134 feet
Motor Trend
For better traction, the Escape has larger tires than the Rav4 (235/55R17 vs. 225/65R17).
The Escape's standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 55 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Rav4 LE/XLE's standard 65 series tires. The Escape's optional tires have a lower 45 series profile than the Rav4 XLE Premium/Adventure/Limited's 55 series tires.
The Escape has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Rav4 doesn't offer variable-assist power steering.
The Escape's drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Rav4 doesn't offer drift compensation steering.
The Escape Titanium AWD handles at .85 G's, while the Rav4 Limited pulls only .74 G's of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
The Escape Titanium AWD executes Motor Trend's "Figure Eight" maneuver 1.6 seconds quicker than the Rav4 Limited (27.3 seconds @ .6 average G's vs. 28.9 seconds @ .57 average G's).
The Escape has .4 inches more front headroom, 2.1 inches more front legroom, .2 inches more front hip room and 4.7 inches more rear hip room than the Rav4.
The Escape's liftgate lifts up in one piece, completely out of the way of loading and unloading, while sheltering the cargo loading area. The Rav4's swing out door blocks loading from the driver's side.
In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don't have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Escape SE/SEL/Titanium's exterior keypad. The Rav4 doesn't offer an exterior keypad entry system.
The Escape's standard speed-sensitive wipers speed up when the vehicle does, so that the driver doesn't have to continually adjust the speed of the wipers. The Rav4 LE's standard fixed intermittent wipers only have one fixed delay setting, so the driver will have to manually switch them between slow and intermittent.
The Escape has a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn. When the ignition turns off, the headlights turn off after a delay timed to allow you to securely get to your front door. The Rav4 has an automatic headlight on/off feature standard only on the XLE/XLE Premium/Adventure/Limited.
The Escape Titanium's Active Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The Rav4 doesn't offer an automated parking system.

REFERENCE AUTHORITY: Chief Operating Officer, Director: Facilities Management Unit, Campus Facilities Managers.
The University seeks to maximise the utilisation of its assets, consistent with its mission. This policy covers the hiring of teaching and other space, furniture and equipment to the General Community at times when the facilities and space are not required to support the main purpose and operations of the University followed by additional requirements of its Students who are represented aggregately by their elected Student Body.
The University of South Australia Act 1990, as amended provides for the University to make charges for services or facilities that are provided by the University to the public on a commercial basis. The University also has obligations in law regarding the recording of income, and its duty of care to users of its services and facilities.
The procedures that follow the statement of policy are designed to provide a uniform approach for the University to administer the hiring of its facilities, to meet its legal responsibilities, to ensure recovery of all associated costs and to provide an incentive to cost centres to pursue the generation of additional income.
The University seeks to maximise the return on its assets through appropriate entrepreneurial activities at times when the assets are not otherwise being fully utilised in the pursuit of the teaching and research goals and objectives of the University. University facilities are under the ownership and disposition of the University and not of its component elements, even though individual units or schools may have day-to-day responsibility for particular facilities for the purpose of carrying out their normal function. Delegation of usage rights and responsibilities is at the discretion of the Vice Chancellor.
1. The University will adopt the following procedures in administering this policy:
1.1 the use of University facilities in this policy context shall be managed by the respective Campus Facility Manager, who will liaise with relevant units or schools on availability and any direct or indirect costs to be part of the hire charge.
1.2 all applications for the hire of University facilities will be on the form FM122 Application for use of University facilities (external hire) and, on approval of the application, all Hirers must complete the form Conditions of Hire of Facilities.
2. Charges for the Hire of facilities will normally be adjusted annually, or at other times as determined by the Chief Operating Officer or nominee, having regard to the requirement to recover costs and provide incentive, by taking account of :
2.1 recovery of direct and indirect corporate costs incurred for the duration of hire (corporate overheads cover those costs met by the University-wide cost centres).
2.2 recovery of direct or indirect campus costs incurred for the duration of hire (campus overheads cover those costs met by divisions, schools, specialist units, campus services), and a component for the entrepreneurial endeavours involved.
2.3 estimates of building and equipment depreciation and maintenance costs as reflected in building cost indices, and a component which reflects the use of the University's image in the marketing of the facilities.
3. The Chief Operating Officer or nominee will determine the category of Hirers to which differential charges will be levied:
3.1 Category A Hirers will be non-profit educational organisations, and will normally be required to pay a "flat" rate being determined on a full cost-recovery basis.
3.2 Category B Hirers will be non-profit organisations with whom the University wishes to create or maintain goodwill, and may have charges waived or varied.
3.3 Category C Hirers will be all others not described in 3.1 or 3.2 above.
4. The collection and disbursement of hire fees will be managed on each Campus by the respective Campus Facility Manager.
4.1 Returns of costs specified in 2.1 and 2.3 will be disbursed to University miscellaneous revenue.
4.2 Returns of costs specified in 2.2 will be managed through a Campus Facilities Hire Fund established for that purpose. Funds will be disbursed from there to campus-based cost centres in proportion to the direct or indirect costs which formed part of the hire charge.

This Raw Data is a Raw Deal For Consumers
CFPUA released a "Special Update" on July 21, 2017 publicizing that water samples taken at the Sweeney Water Plant on July 14 through July 18 showed some results well above the NC DHHS recommended health goal for GenX of 140 ppt.
CFPUA indicated that "…DHHS guidance … is the only measure CFPUA is able to operate under at this time," so they contacted NC DHHS for guidance on next steps.
As stated in yesterday's Daily Filter, the NC DHHS is using arbitrary variables in their calculation of their "recommended health goal."
And CFPUA is relying solely on DHHS for guidance.
Without more data, our scientists at Clean Cape Fear cannot explain these spikes.
CFPUA cannot explain it.
Chemours is not explaining it.
DEQ is not explaining it.
We are at the mercy of DHHS.
DHHS's response to the fact that some water samples are DOUBLE their arbitrary "recommended health goal" is that they are "committed to immediately analyze this new data and provide additional guidance. . . as soon as it is received."
The Department of Health and Human Services website says in its overview that it "manages the delivery of health- and human-related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable citizens – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families."
What are these vulnerable citizens supposed to do while they await additional guidance? Consumption of clean water is required on a daily basis - for the 'delivery of health.'

Growing up my Mom and Dad were friends with one couple, Rodger and Nancy Schmidt. Rodger and Nancy lived in town and we lived outside of town in the pink asbestos tile house on Route 1. The Schmidt's would come over and play cards, or Mom and Dad would go over there and just hang out, sometimes we would all go over as a family. Rodger was a Forestry agent and Nancy worked in the office of a paper company in town.
Nancy and Mom decided to join Weight Watchers and commit to go to the meetings each week to help each other out. My wife does Weight Watchers today and let me tell you it has come a LONG way from 1975. Mom had to weigh every single item she put in her mouth which mostly consisted of tuna fish. I don't think that Mom stayed in it for long.
On one of the night's that Mom and Nancy were at their meetings, Dad and Rodger were tasked with keeping my sister and I alive until they got home. There was a Monday night movie coming on and Sis and I were looking forward to watching it. Dad and Rodger were going to hang out in the kitchen and talk about whatever they talked about. Sis and I wanted to munch on some popcorn, so Dad decided to pop us some popcorn. We popped the corn on the stove until I was a teenager. We had a glass bowl that we used for our popcorn because it held a batch of corn perfectly.
Our house was set up like a shotgun house. When you came in the front door you were immediately in the living room, my sister's room was to the right of that. If you kept walking straight through the living room you were in what we used as a family room, and then just beyond that was the kitchen. Mom and Dad's room was off the family room and our only bathroom connected Sis's room and Mom and Dad's room. I had a teeny tiny room off my parent's room. Our TV was in the living room.
Our kitchen table was up against the wall, which meant we always had to move it out for us to eat dinner. It was right by the door that led to the family room. Rodger was sitting at the place where Dad always sat with his legs stretched out, arms folded. Rodger always kind of grossed me out because he produced an inordinate amount of spit and usually had this white spit string connected to his top and bottom lip. As he talked it would stretch out then go back down. Not fun to watch but unavoidable to stare at!
I had the bowl of popcorn and was walking into the living room all ready for the movie. As I was walking Rodger moved his foot and tripped me. I am not graceful and do not rally from those kinds of things with any type of agility which mean I fell face forward with the popcorn bowl in hand. The bowl broke and apparently I slit my left arm through a big piece of glass, cutting it.
My left pinkie had a gash from the first crease to about a 1/2 inch into my palm. My elbow was opened up like a smile, white bone sticking out and all, about 8 inches. "Oh my God, Son!" "Oh crap!"
"What happened...oh no, Mom's going to kill you."
"Get the damn towels now!!!"
"[Rodger] I'm so sorry are you ok?"
The heavy trail of blood from the kitchen into the family room was now pooling up and towel after towel was not stopping the bleeding. I think I was in shock because I don't remember ever crying one time. Maybe I should go with pure toughness and true grit? Who'd believe that, I was is shock."
"Lesa you stay here for your Mom. Rodger go start the car we have to go to the hospital. RODGER GO GET THE CAR!!"
"Right car, on my way."
"Daddy is he going to die? I'm scared Dad."
"Sis it's going to be OK, just wait here for Mom and tell her what happened. We'll be home as soon as we can."
"Sis it's going to be OK, just wait here for Mom and tell her what happened. We'll be home as soon as we can."
We lived about 20-25 minutes outside of town and arrived in about 8 minutes. We lived in a small town and our hospital didn't really have an emergency room. Rodger pulled up to the South entrance. At this entrance of the hospital you had to climb two flights of stairs to get to the floor that led to the after hours care place. Dad made those 50 plus steps in about three bounds. He wasn't going to lose his only son, still bleeding like crazy.
Mom and Nancy showed up from their meeting and walked into the house to find my sister on the couch pale and a stream of blood that led from the front door to the kitchen with a large pool of blood in the family room. My Mom's first thought was that a robber had broken in and killed me and Dad while Rodger hid in the closet and sis hid under her bed. Mom's good at keeping a calm head and not jumping to conclusions like...say...murder--NOT.
"Oh my God...what happened here!"
"Mom...mom...Will is hurt bad...he cut his arm and bled and bled."
"Where is he where's your Dad."
"At the hospital."
I was rushed into an exam room and the Doctor on call was called. It was Dr. Olive, the resident allergist. He was a full fledged Doctor, but didn't really work on anything other than allergies. As he walked in he saw me and said, "what happened here.?"
"He and cut his arm when the bowl broke he was carrying. Is he going to be ok?"
"Oh yes, we'll take care of him."
"It's going to be ok, bud. The doctor's going to fix you up."
I always and still do have complete and total lack of fear when I'm with my Dad. He takes every care and concern away and i just feel safe and invincible. Dad was stroking my hair back and holding my hand. I was on the crunchy paper of the exam table just bleeding.
The doctor came back in and put three shots directly into the open wound on my elbow and two shots in my pinkie. "Let's give this a minute to deaden then I'll come back to stitch you up." When he came back in he told Dad I should turn away and look at him until it was sowed up. The beauty part of this is that I watched the whole thing in the reflection of my Dad's glasses.
I wore a bandage for about two weeks or more, maybe more. Dr. Olive did a really bad job stitching up my pinkie and now I can't completely close my pinkie and you can see a fold at the bend of my pinkie right at the palm. There are times that my pinkie will tingle and feel like it's asleep. I don't want to get surgery done to fix it because I fear it might make it worse.
As a 5 year old who just went through this horrible thing, it made it all better when my Robba took me to McDonald's for a Big Mac and fries...royal treatment for a royally horrible experience.
The pictures are of my elbow scar and pinkie scar as of today. As you look at my hand that is as far as I can close my pinkie to my ring finger, you can also see the crease, I wasn't bending my finger in this shot.
