He was a dedicated son and father. His children were his greatest blessing and he was always proud all were UNC graduates. His four grandchildren were a great source of amazement with their endeavors. He was athletic- a star athlete in high school, played competitive tennis with colleagues until his very senior years, and an avid tennis, golf, and ACC sports fan. He enjoyed hunting, but loved fishing especially with his son and in later years with Alan Powell of Cary.

In Chapel Hill, he became a father figure to many who needed his attention, time, and caring.

One of the most important factors in buying a wetsuit is fit. If a wetsuit doesn't fit right, it isn't comfortable and won't keep you warm. It should be comfortably snug all over. If the suit fits too loose, there will be cold water entering the suit and you'll never stay warm. A suit that is too small or too big can cause rashing. O'Neill's 50+ years of wetsuit design and engineering ensures an excellent fit. HOW IT WORKS A wetsuit creates a barrier against the elements utilizing the insulating properties of closed cell neoprene. Neoprene is a closed cell foam made up of thousands of tiny air bubbles known as cells. The air within the cells creates an insulating barrier which slows down the conduction of heat and cold and allows body heat to be retained. NEOPRENE O'Neill travels the world for the best neoprene and innovative materials available. Materials are manufactured to O'Neill's specifications in order to have the right combination of warmth, strength, flexibility and durability. O'Neill inspects each sheet of neoprene and rejects it if below standard. THICKNESS The thickness of the neoprene utilized in a wetsuit will determine its warmth and flexibility. A thick wetsuit provides a lot of insulation but can inhibit flexibility. A thin wetsuit will be very flexible but can inhibit insulation. The trick is to get the right combination of warmth and flexibility so the wetsuit will not only keep you warm, but provide maximum flexibility as well.

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:22-24 KJV
"There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of our unbelief." – Smith Wigglesworth
Jesus told us to "Have faith in God" in Mark 11:22 because nothing is impossible with Him. If Jesus, who is the Truth and cannot lie, says all things are possible, then they are.
For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37 KJV
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23 KJV
Determine today to believe God and receive the things hoped for that are yet unseen.

Midfielders Sammy Moore and Jack Payne were in Leytonstone recently facing a new sporting challenge – taking on the residents of Doreen Capstan House at Boccia!
As part of the Extra Time project delivered by the Leyton Orient Trust (LOT), the players had to swap their footballing skills for more hand to eye coordination as they joined in the bowling game although their professional will to win was still evident with Moore playing for the red team and Payne, the blue.
Jill Brown, Scheme Manager, said: "It's been lovely having the player's here. We've had a long association with Orient ever since the Extra Time project started about six years ago and we met Ben Chorley and George Porter and we have great memories of when Alex Revell came here as part of the NCS (National Citizen Service) project. The residents always enjoy the activities that Extra Time provides and the match tickets always go down well although we have to wait for the good weather!"
Although not playing strictly to the rules, the adapted Boccia games brought out the best in the O's player's but it was Sammy who stole the bragging rights with his team winning two games to nil.
Howard Gould, Community Liaison Officer, said, "When the project first started it was funded by the Football Foundation but once they ceased the support we've had to look elsewhere for the resources to keep it running. Thankfully it has survived and is an important part of our community outreach and maintaining our relationships with our older community members.
"The older generation have a wicked sense of humour and I'm sure the lads enjoyed themselves today. It's great to see them out and about and getting involved with the local community in something they are probably not even aware of."
And Sammy Moore said, "That was great, really enjoyed that! It was nice to meet the people here and to see just how much they appreciate the club popping in every week. They shared some memories too and seem to have had some really good times thanks to Howard and the Trust. We'll definitely fancy it again!"

You might have a great body and are fine with the way you look. Even still, there might be some problems you would like to address. If you are prone to headaches, back and neck pain, as well as a strain on your hips, the problem could be because of your breasts. One way to fix or reduce these inconveniences is with breast reduction surgery, also known as a mammoplasty.
The Procedure
A surgeon will make incisions around the areola of your breast. Once the incision is made, the underlying tissue is reduced, lifted, and shaped accordingly. The surgeon sometimes will use liposuction to remove fat from the breasts in conjunction with other techniques. In some extreme cases, the nipple and areola could be removed. After the surgeon has done his work, he will stitch up the breast.
Should I get breast reduction surgery?
If you feel your breasts are interfering with your quality of life, you should get a breast reduction surgery if:
- You have difficulty engaging in exercise because of the size of your breasts; particularly if you're overweight as a result of a sedentary lifestyle
- You have trouble standing up straight and your shoulders are hunched or rolled forward
- You experience tingling or numbness in your arms, shoulders, and neck; this could be a sign of nerve damage caused by the weight of your breasts
- You have tried over the counter medication, physical therapy, and other lifestyle changes to ease the discomfort caused by your breasts, but have experienced little relief
- You have developed deep grooves in your shoulders caused by bra straps cutting into the tissue
- You have difficulty finding clothing that fits properly
- Your breasts are significantly droopy, with nipples and areolas that point downward
- You have trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep soundly because of the weight of your breasts
You might not be a good candidate for breast reduction surgery if you plan to breastfeed your children. If you plan on having children in the future, you should consider postponing the surgery until you area done childbearing.
You might also not want to get breast reduction surgery if you are concerned about scarring. While this effect is minimized as much as possible, the majority of breast reduction surgeries result in visible scars.
The Next Step
If you are interested in breast reduction, have questions or concerns, Dr. Hanemann of Hanemann Plastic Surgery will be able to assist you. Our offices offer other procedures besides breast reduction that could be of use to you. Contact us today to set up your consultation to see if breast reduction is right for you.

As a leader you always take the blame for things not done or when you fail to make decisions at the spur of a moment, but folks take the credit for success even without making any reference to you.
You always have to keep your head up and know that the one you are following went thru the same. Do not worry about who gets the credit, because at the end of time the only flag that will fly is the flag of Jesus Christ — King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
At that time we will all, great and small, die to our names and all our trophies surender at His feet. Oh what a day that will be! Sola Gloria"(His glory alone), "Sola Christo" (Christ alone)!

Sermons on faithfulness
More than enough. Proper 18 Year B
Though we may find grief is at our core, often it is unchecked assumptions about how life should be, or our childhood beliefs about what is right and wrong, or our privileged status, or the way we expect our lives to turn out, or our own agenda. Regardless, it asks us to join with God to build a life larger than that within us which can consume our lives.
Thanks-giving. Proper 13 Year B
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church The Rev. Barbara Hutchinson Proper 13 Year B August 5, 2018 In our Epistle this morning, we hear the proclamation and directive to "Live a life worthy of our calling". Understanding what our calling is, as individuals and as parish members as well as part of the larger Body of Christ, seems to be a necessary first step to doing this. Let's begin this exploration with Frederick Buechner's famous line that states "The place God calls…
Proper 7 Year B: Crossing Over to the Other Side
"Look within yourself," Jesus implores them. But they don't. What we would have hoped would have been the turning point in the story– the disciples' transformation into a living and breathing faith — doesn't happen. When the seas calm and Jesus begs them to go into the dark and foreign places within their own souls, to examine why their fear has overridden their faith, they don't. Instead, they focus their attention on understanding Jesus, rather than understanding the difference Jesus makes in their lives of faith.
3rd Sunday of Easter Year B
Once the disciples' minds were opened and they finally understood who Jesus was, he called them into action and through them, he called all generations that followed, down to our day, down to this church, down to this very moment in time. As you know, our risen Lord is here, right now, to tell us who he is, show us his unconditional love, give us his peace, allay our fears, open our minds, and send us into the world in his name.
4th Sunday after the Epiphany – my least favorite Jesus!
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church The Rev. Barbara Hutchinson 4 Epiphany Year B 2018 January 28, 2018 I was fascinated with the variety of expressions on the faces depicted in various places in the Holy Land of those who had seen Jesus, the living incarnation of the holy, the Son of God, and the source of our salvation. In each of the places where Jesus had been, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Jericho and of course Jerusalem, there were mosaics, frescos, paintings and…
Seasons of Creation #4: River Sunday (Keep those rivers flowing!)
Just as the river in Ezekiel flows from the Temple and the river in Revelation flows from the throne of God – our Gospel today points us to one of the greatest symbols of God's love flowing into the world – the empty tomb. Imagine a spiritual river flowing out of the empty tomb filling the whole world. And the first folks to put their toes in that river are Mary Magdalene and the other Mary. Thank God for the faithfulness of these women. They went, as Matthew says, to see the tomb, to investigate. Where were the men? Fled to Galilee. And what did the angel tell these two faithful Apostles to do? They were to go tell the others that Jesus was raised and "indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him." Jesus is going ahead of them into the world – not going away from the world. Like a mighty river rising from a very small source, Jesus's presence and his love is still spreading from that source – the empty tomb – to fill our entire world. That is the picture that Matthew in his last chapter wants to leave us with. There is no ascension story at the end of Matthew's gospel. The book ends with our great commissioning to "make disciples of all nations." Get busy working in the world to make others aware of the love of God! And the final sentence of the Gospel is a final reminder as the love of God flows out to include all people: "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Just like the promise in Genesis that cycles would follow on cycles, just as the promise of the river that it would always flow, Jesus is promising to be with us – not remote in some far-off throne room in heaven – but to be as near to us as that river. Surrounding us in God's love, bringing life to everything that Jesus touches.
Seasons of Creation #3 Wilderness- "God doesn't give us more than we can handle."
"God doesn't give us more than we can handle." A common saying. Perhaps you've heard it many times in your life, or have even spoken it yourself. It's a saying I've always pushed back against from a place deep within my gut, not necessarily understanding why, until I studied theology, and then I knew why. My image of God doesn't include someone sitting upon a throne in heaven, dolling out bad things to people at opportune times, with the purpose of disrupting or destroying their lives, always attentive to the balance of good and evil in their lives at any particular moment, so people can be just on the edge of the good— or worse yet, bringing on the bad thing in life to selected people at the worst possible moments of their lives, just when they are starting to turn things around, or when they are spiraling downward. My image of God is a flow of love, a source of desire for goodness for each part of the created world, a pull deep within each one of us for wholeness, and an inherent life-force reaching toward a rich and abundant life designed for everyone, lived within the healing embrace of Christ. So how would I, how do you, reconcile this image of a God who looks at us through eyes of love, with the God conjured up in this popular saying that seems to imply God is actively involved in bringing bad things into our lives?
When it's time to move beyond "Jesus loves me". Proper 21 Year A
There are times when I get exhausted from the constant pull of the Holy Spirit to shape and remake my heart and soul, so that I can be more aligned with the will of God. I imagine you do too. There are times when I wish I could escape for just a moment back into my Sunday school faith and believe it is as simple as believing Jesus loves me. I imagine you do too. There are times when I want my life to be simpler, when I wish I could compartmentalize my life into church on Sunday and the rest. I imagine you do too. But I know that's not my life as a Christian. Rather it is to be deeply fed by times of silence before God and in spiritual retreats, by receiving the prayers of our healing ministers, by finding a group of spiritual friends with whom I can wrestle with the issues of today set within our three-legged stool of scripture, tradition, and reason, so I can continue the hard work of discernment of God's new revelation among us that instructs me how to faithfully live in response to the movement of the Spirit.
Proper 16 – August 27th – Civil Disobedience
It is a courageous act of civil disobedience that helps change the tide of history. They are the first two links in a chain of many people who will eventually be lead out of slavery and oppression in Egypt by Moses. Liberation starts here, with two women willing to say "no" to an act of cruelty and injustice.
Proper 8 Year A
The story of God asking Abraham to offer his only and beloved son, Isaac, to be sacrificed as a test of his faith reveals the hard truth that salvation is going to be a costly endeavor. It sets the story of God and our salvation on a trajectory we often resist, namely that there are costs to being faithful. It is more comfortable to believe in a God who is predictable, tame and safe, than to believe in a God who actually demands something of us, who asks us to offer back to God that which is most precious to us, who promises us resurrection, but holds up the way of the cross to get there.

This is the week of CHANGE, isn't it?!
We're all making lists of things we want to change. Goals. Strategy. Resolve. Go.
My personal goal began a little over a week ago, because I always like to start things mid-week instead of on the "societal determined date."
(I also like stopping the gas pump on odd numbers because I find it liberating-there's a little sneak peek into this girl's head.)
SO 8 days ago I stopped drinking Diet Coke!
Seriously, I did it.
It's like they're losing their most loyal spokesperson. I miss it, I'm not gonna lie.
I haven't found the cozy cup of joe to measure up. Maybe if I put on some cable knit arm warmers and drew in it…? I've found I'm fond of the Refreshers in a can at the local brown and green hub, but I've increased my daily drive thru time by at least 10 minutes and doubled my daily cost! But I'm doing it. I'm breaking up with Diet Coke because I believe it's a good move for my brain and body (and joints and all of the other things I've read about.)
I think CHANGE FOR THE BETTER is always a GREAT chance.
(I also think CHANGE for CHANGE sake is not to be underrated. Some of us just need to rearrange furniture to have a fresh perspective! We are not weird. Ok, maybe.)
I have labored and prayed and considered and flip-flopped a few times over all of the major changes of my business and I believe them all to be change for the better. (See previous post.)
If you've been with me for the past few years you have come to think $400 when you think KDP.
There have always been less expensive options, but this is the price point most of you have in your heads…
making you afraid to commit to getting excellent photos.
If you're like me you just can't drop $400 anytime you'd like.
I believe this is why the MINI SESSION has become the QUEEN of FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE MY MINI-SESSIONS and I'm SO excited to offer a great line up again this year!
BUT KDP mini-sessions are usually SET centered and great family photos happen in wide open spaces.
So a CHANGE for 2016 is….drum-roll…my SMALLER digital package.
My session fee has been and will remain $150.
As always you have the option to order photos a-la-carte, with no minimal order requirement.
This year's smaller digital package is $100 for 5 digital images you select from your proofing gallery.
Each additional image is $10.
Each image selected will be editing beautifully, ready for print.
Images are high resolution with print release, meaning you can print them wherever!
I deliver images in an online download gallery that will stay in place for 10 years.
I hope this appeals to your sense of change and financial responsibility.
Cheers to 2016! (Let's clang water bottles together.)
January is a COLD month for outdoor photographs, so I hope you will look ahead at early Spring and let me get something on the calendar for you and your family!

Cosby expects Black media not to be biased
Although Bill Cosby, again, would not directly address the sexual assault accusations against him, he did break his silence for a brief interview to talk about his expectations of Black media.
Last Friday, during an interview for the New York Post, the comedian called on African-American journalists not to be biased when covering the allegations.
"Let me say this. I only expect the Black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind," Cosby said.
New York Post reporter Stacy Brown wrote the comedian sounded upbeat on the phone, but cut off the conversation. "They don't want me talking to the media," Cosby said.
More than 20 women have spoken out accusing Cosby of sexual misconduct, however, he has never faced a judge or jury or been convicted of a crime. Nonetheless, several local Black reporters have already made up their minds about Cosby.
"The main thing I've learned from the reactions to the allegations leveled against Bill Cosby is that sexual assault has a special place when it comes to our jurisprudence … It's the only crime that I can think of off of the top of my head in which it is assumed that the victim is lying."
Denise Clay, veteran journalist and member of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists
"Bill Cosby's fall is huge because he has been held so highly in our heads and hearts. We may still enjoy his old recordings, but they don't sound the same. The title of his currently troubled comedy tour, "Far from Finished," should have a question mark behind it,"
Clarence Page, journalist and senior member of The Chicago Tribune editorial board
"Our society has, in many ways, morphed into a place where truth is established by whomever speaks the loudest, snags the biggest interview or writes their tell-all first. I don't know if the accusations against Bill Cosby are true, but I know that I wonder about the world in which we live. In a time when a man can lose everything over accusations nearly half a century old, are any of us safe from our accusers?"
Solomon Jones, author and radio host at 900 am WURD

Over the last two years, wildfires have damaged millions of acres and thousands of buildings across the southeastern and western United States. Many businesses were fortunate not to be directly damaged by the fires but still suffered financially due to evacuation orders preventing customer access in a threatened area. Further, once evacuation orders are lifted, businesses may continue to suffer financially due to a shortage of customers.
RELATED: Read Is Your Business Ready for These 5 Summer Risks?
Business interruption insurance is good but may have gaps. For example, if a business is forced to close due to fire damage to its building, business interruption insurance would pay bills and supplement lost income during repairs. Here's the problem; many such policies limit or exclude coverage when the business doesn't suffer direct physical damage.
It is possible to get business interruption coverage for losses associated with denial of access resulting from an order from a civil authority. It is often offered as an add-on to a standard commercial property policy, so ask your agent or broker about the benefits of adding such coverage.

Drug courier found with 63 capsules of crystal meth in his stomach
Nigerian defendant flew in to Dubai in July
A man has appeared in court charged with smuggling more than a kilogram of crystal meth in capsules he swallowed.
Dubai Criminal Court heard how the Nigerian defendant arrived at Dubai International Airport on July 31 on a tourist visa.
Customs inspectors grew suspicious after the suspect appeared anxious when asked questions about where he had flown to the UAE from.
And after completing a body X-ray, officials discovered 63 capsules of the drug in his stomach.
"He was tense and sweaty," one customs officer told the court. "When I asked him where had he come from he just couldn't talk. I felt something was wrong."
During police questioning, the man admitted to carrying the drugs and that he knew he was acting illegally.
He said he had been promised $2,000 (Dh7,350) to hand over the capsules to an unidentified contact once he arrived in the city. He denied planning to sell the drugs himself.
A verdict is expected to be given on October 28.

Echocardiography Technician Salary Guide
Echocardiography technicians are sought-after professionals who perform echocardiograms at the request of the physician. Echocardiograms are special diagnostic tests that use ultrasound waves to evaluate the heart. Because ultrasonic waves contain no radiation, the tests are safe and painless. It is necessary to have several years of training in order to maximize your potential to make a great career in the specialized field of echocardiography. Depending on the location of the place where you are employed and the type of diagnostic center in which you work, salaries might vary greatly.
Job Description
An echocardiography technician usually sees many patients a day. He or she might work in a hospital setting, a cardiology office, or even an outpatient diagnostic center. Cardiologists order these special studies to help diagnose a variety of cardiac problems including atherosclerotic heart disease and congenital defects. These tests might be done to evaluate and monitor an existing problem, in an emergency or prior to a surgery or a procedure in order to determine cardiac risk. Some more invasive forms of echocardiograms will be done by physicians with assistance from the echocardiography technician.
How to Maximize Salary Potential
There are several ways in which a new or experienced echocardiography technician or technologist can maximize their earning potential. The first is to gain as much training as possible. Specialized training or advanced degrees often will mean a higher salary or hourly rate. On the job training and experience will also mean more money for the technician. Relocation to a larger city can also mean a bigger paycheck for an echocardiography technician.
Usually working in a hospital instead of a diagnostic center or office provides an echocardiography technician with more money. Hospital employees usually have benefits and sometimes doctor's offices do not provide them. Hospital employees might also have the opportunity to earn overtime or be reimbursed for being on call.
Average Salaries for Echocardiography Technicians
The average salary for an echocardiography technician in the United States is around sixty thousand dollars. New technicians and technicians who work in rural areas might make significantly less as do technicians who work in an office setting. Technicians who are employed in metropolitan areas, larger medical centers, and have experience can expect to make higher salaries than average.
Job Outlook
The job outlook for echocardiography technicians now and in the future is great. Because they provide such necessary testing, that is ordered frequently by cardiologists, there will definitely be a need for trained technicians in the future. Echocardiography technicians, like many other health care professionals, require specialized training. There is also currently a shortage of technicians. In the future, more technicians will be needed. There will also be a need for more people to train echocardiography technicians.
Is a Career as an Echocardiography Technician Right for You?
If you enjoy helping people and working with technical equipment, a career in echocardiography technology might be just the right option. Specially trained technicians are needed in all settings. If it is possible for you to job shadow an echocardiography technician in their work place, you should. Echocardiography technicians have great and stable jobs and they are needed now and will also be needed in the future.
If you enjoy the technical aspects of anatomy and medicine, training to be an MRI tech might be a good choice for you.

Johnny Manizel is hoping to replicate former Texas A&M teammate Mike Evans' success.
The former Browns quarterback turned epic NFL washout penned a lengthy ode to the star Bucs wide receiver over the weekend.
"From those days to living together and training together before the draft only for both of us to get drafted in the first round and have both our dreams come true. I was more happy on draft night for you to go where you did than I ever could have been for myself," Manziel wrote on Instagram. "Came from nothing to something is an understatement."
Evans was selected No. 7 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. He made the Pro Bowl in 2016, finishing his third season with 96 receptions for 1,322 yards and 12 touchdowns.
"Not many guys make it off the island to being a dominant force in the NFL. I'll never forget these times my g we did this s–t together and I'm just trying to get on your level now," Manziel continued.
Manziel is just hoping to get his once-promising career restarted. The 24-year-old said he is sober after a disturbing downward spiral in 2016, and has returned to a training regimen, seemingly enlisting his former quarterback coach, George Whitfield Jr.
"Relentless consistency @georgewhitfieldjr," Manziel posted Sunday on Instagram, photographed with a football in hand as Whitfield looked on.
Manziel is giving his fans an inkling of a reason to believe again, including Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon.
"I think Johnny has proven he can play in the National Football League, but Johnny has to get Johnny Manziel together first before he can even think about football," Moon told TMZ.
In December, Manziel finalized a plea deal stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident last January, in which he allegedly struck ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley.
"If he's gotten his personal life together and all the problems he has off the field, if all that's taken care of, there's no reason he can't come back into an NFL camp," Moon said.

"This invoice batch contains an invoice with a new layout…"
I have sent a new invoice that has been stopped with the error message:
"This invoice batch contains an invoice with a new layout. You don´t have a mapping that can handle this layout."
Either you have sent a new invoice that doesn't have the same appearance as earlier, sometimes this happens along with updates in the invoicing system. Or someone may have made adjustments in the invoice layout, which results in that Pagero's template no longer suits your invoice.
A field in your invoice might also have been dislocated which means that the information in your invoice doesn't have the same placement as before.

There are many false prophets out there who will promise to rid you of body fat within days or weeks, if you will simply buy their product. The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, and is riddled with false promises. If you want to burn fat, there is no real need to purchase fat burning supplements. Don't listen to the hype; create your own regime and show some determination to stick to a proper exercise regime and balanced diet.
Principles of burning fat
Nutrition is vital if you want to properly and efficiently lose weight. It is important thus to burn more calories than you consume. This is the most important rule with regard to balancing ones energy. This must be taken into account if you wish to successfully burn fat. This does not mean that every calorie needs to be counted, but it is important to make sure that you are maintaining a calorie deficit and a balanced overall diet. In conclusion, one should look to consume fewer calories, while also striving to burn calories through the employment of a proper exercise regime.
Weight training is another great way to burn fat. This part of the regime should be structured to suit you. Weight training stimulates the body in order to build up and maintain lean muscle mass. The presence of lean muscle in the body can be of great assistance with regard to the burning of fat.
Most fat loss pills are not worth the money, and the industry is flooded with scams. In fact, the best 'supplement' that money can buy is, quite simply, food. No pill or powder can take the place of proper nutrition, and it is important to remember this when selecting your sources of nutrition.
When seeking to burn fat, it is important to remain focused and determined as much as possible. The basic ideas behind weight loss are basically straight forward and uncomplicated. However, that does not mean that the process will be easy. If you have the mistaken belief that you can sit around doing nothing, you will not succeed in your goals. The truth is, there is no realistic short cut when it comes to losing weight. If you really want to lose weight, you will do so. However, it will require hard work and determination, if you are to achieve your weight loss goals. Focus and motivation are necessary attributes when it comes to weight loss and the changing of ones habits.

Although April is coming to an end, and with it the end of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, the time to evaluate our current efforts to change driving attitudes and habits should live on daily.
There are many advocates who travel from school to school educating teens on the dangers of distracted driving. Although these strategies have proven to be valuable in getting safe driving messages across, it has recently been discovered nothing may be more powerful in the fight than simply correcting the misperceptions about the numbers of teens who actually text and drive.
Social norms theory has been used to reduce risky teen behaviors in the context of drinking and tobacco use on college campuses. Essentially, social norms theory provides that the frequency with which a population engages in a risky behavior is generally over estimated and the frequency with which that population engages in the healthy behavior is underestimated.
The effect of these misperceptions can be that those who engage in the healthy behavior falsely believe that they are in the minority, while those who engage in the unhealthy behavior falsely believe that they are in the majority and that most people behave like they do.
Social norm proponents argue once the true facts are made known there will be pressure on those engaging in unhealthy behaviors to consider whether they should continue doing so, and those who have been engaging in healthy behaviors, now knowing they are in the majority, will be more likely to speak up and influence others to behave safer.
This shows how the social norms theory has the possibility to be used in the effort to reduce distracted driving in teens.
Here are the facts to correct that misperception:
Frequency of texting while driving by age group
16-18: 31 %
19-24: 42 %
25-29: 45%
Although 31% of 16-18 year-olds report that they text while driving, two-thirds of 16-18 year-olds do not.
By correcting this misperception we can help non-texting while driving teens to feel more confident in their choice and embolden them to speak up when other teens drive distracted.
Once the texting while driving teens learn that most of their peers do not behave the way they do, they may be more receptive to thinking about changing their behaviors.

Does anyone have pictures or point me to a place that has pictures of sunfish from birth to about 2 years? I am trying to figure out how old my sunfish are. I caught a few earlier this week but only now are the larger ones making their nests. I am assuming that the fish already spawned in deeper water or these fish are a year old.
This video is not of the actual fish I caught but are about the same size. I caught these ones last year same time.

Looking for a better way to benchmark your global mobility program? Join the Global Movement Study.
The United Kingdom (UK) House of Lords has appointed members
of the chamber to be part of a new ad hoc committee to conduct a review of the
UK Bribery Act. Lord Mark Saville of Newdigate will chair the committee, which
consists of 12 members. The committee is scheduled to finish and submit its
report by 31 March 2019.
According to the report of the House of Lords Liaison
Committee on New ad hoc Committees in 2018-19,
the primary focus of the committee will be to review whether the Act has "led
to stricter prosecution of corrupt conduct, a higher conviction rates, and
possibly a reduction in such conduct." The committee will also review the
"awareness of the Act amongst small and medium enterprises (SMEs)." Finally,
the committee is encouraged to consider the Deferred Prosecution Agreements
(DPAs) "as they affect bribery with the need for an express mention in the
terms of reference" in relation to the Act.
Lord Saville has stated that the first task of the committee
will be to seek input from companies on the Act. As of the time of publication
of this article, the committee had not yet released its call for evidence. The committee is scheduled to hold a private
meeting on Tuesday, 12 June 2018.
The UK Bribery Act outlines activity which is construed as
bribery involving companies and individuals in the UK as well as the overseas
activities of companies and individuals residing or operating in the UK. The Act applies to both those entities giving
as well as receiving a bribe which entails providing improper service to an
entity in exchange for financial or other benefit. It holds companies
responsible for not only their actions but also those of its employees and
related parities acting on its behalf. The maximum penalties for breaking the
Bribery Act is 10 years in jail and a financial fine with no limit.
The UK Bribery Act of 2010 received formal approval on 8
April 2010 and came into effect on 1 July 2011. The Act is viewed as the
toughest law in the world on anti-bribery.

First off, i'd like to point out I am a conservative and share Republican views on fiscal and social views in America.

With that said, I respect your opinion on the stance of Gun Control, however, I do have a few questions for you. You speak of cultural relativism but have you ever actually spoke with a farmer or true land owner who possesses guns simply for means of food consumption. When I speak of these farmers, I am speaking from the perspective of a more industrialized foraging type of person. These people need guns in order to survive, for example, my family hunts deer, turkey, duck...etc, and we use the meat as a source of food to sustain living.

 You state "Gun ownership in America is a form of sanctioned domestic terrorism" but by no means is our hunting a form of domestic terrorism and I feel that is a statement too broad to be accepted giving the vast uses of guns in America. I have grown up in a family where the respect of guns, the safety and use has been preached since birth and I know the proper and improper uses of guns through years of experience handling them. How do you justify taking away the right of gun ownership to me when nothing of what I speak about has to deal with the "fear-mongering, gun-toting Republican voices" you state in your blog post.

Now, I agree you with you on the basis of semi-automatic guns in America. I understand where people are coming from when they say it is their right for gun ownership, however, I agree with the fact that public ownership of such guns should be prohibited to the public because they are made for industrialized warfare and mass slaughter, not protection or hunting. I also agree with you on the fact that such arguments on the 2nd amendment are invalid because the constitution was written during a time in America that is completely different from now and such uses almost seem irrelevant. However, I may suggest a change in the 2nd amendment but not a complete ban on the public ownership of guns because despite some fear-mongering arguments you state, there are still completely justifiable reasons for public ownership of guns, which I have stated a bit above.

You speak a lot of the Newtown tragedy in your article and I just want to comment on that quickly. A semi-automatic weapon was used in the sad massacre of those innocent children and it was a national tragedy but there were a lot more underlining factors. This is a completely different topic of discussion but before you instantly go to the ban of guns in America, don't you think as an Anthropologist you should study Mental Illness in America, the statistics behind the locking up of guns in the home and the access of purchasing guns before going immediately to the ban of guns as a quick out/solve to the problem with much more underlining factors. Just some food for thought.

Either way, I just wanted to provide my opinion on your article and I look forward to your response.

Michael Sharelishttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812835806784023629.post-12988108141508458432013-03-19T16:59:31.413-04:002013-03-19T16:59:31.413-04:00Fran - to sort of answer your question, I am still...Fran - to sort of answer your question, I am still thinking through the research findings (and the project is by no means complete), so it is a bit premature to draw firm conclusions. I am also about to go to the airport, so this is a bit rushed.

Anyway, what I have focused on thus far is precisely the issue of the state. One related angle is the remedies that people view as salient when it comes to everyday precarity of which (gun) violence is a part. Here I have found that the inability to obtain a gun as a private individual is actually an issue, i.e. that people want to be able to get a gun and are critical of the government's restrictions on gun ownership (this is in the Gambia, by the way). Alternative "remedies" include things like jujus and other magical means, which is a somewhat different issue (I will hopefully have something else come out soon on this issue; I have a couple of things under review). This research has made me more sympathetic to the pro-gun crowd in a roundabout way, even if my politics go against what they believe. This is discomforting and a bit hard to explain.

I completely agree that how we present data/results is a big issue, as is the issue of case selection (it will never happen, but an ethnography of the NRA would probably be a very important contribution to the gun debate beyond what is offered by the rather "safe" gun sub-cultures that have been studied by anthropologists such as Kohn).

My post w...Thank you for the great comment, Niklas. My post was in many ways influenced by a number of related conversations I have been having recently regarding how anthropology and anthropologists can be more publicly influential/relevant in general, which set some of the tone.

I do think it is immensely important to talk about state power (health care and gun control are probably the two most pressing issues in American society at present and both hinge on serious questions of the State, its mandate and its efficacy). The western nation-state as we know it is a very recent construct. As far as the state's monopoly over/distribution of legitimate violence/injuring power, many societies where handguns are rarer than space aliens (e.g. most of Europe) are not exactly suffering from a deficit of personal "freedom" just because the state controls the personal ownership of weapons, but pro-gun would Americans disagree. These sorts of impasses are where we can do better to inform.

Of course it is not the case that ethnography is itself a waste of time or that all ethnography about "gun culture" will necessarily legitimate it. But this is a risk - which is the point Gusterson appears to be making - largely determined by how we present the data/results and how critical we choose to be (or not). I agree with your last paragraph completely. And I want to believe that more ethnography will get us somewhere other than to the point where we shrug and say that it's too complicated/nuanced. Yet it's obvious that anthropologists struggle with this. Perhaps they are just afraid of being labeled statists or "state apologists", as per Bill Maurer's discomfort.

On a more practical note, I wonder if there is one thing in particular you have learned in your work in West Africa that you think can be applied to the current US gun debates that people are missing due to US-centrism (in addition to questioning state power)?Fran Baronehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812835806784023629.post-33642545750461789242013-03-19T02:43:01.602-04:002013-03-19T02:43:01.602-04:00Let me offer a couple of disjointed comments as I ...Let me offer a couple of disjointed comments as I am, I think, one of the few anthropologists currently working on gun control, albeit not in the US (personal plug time: I am in the middle of a NSF-supproted research project on small arms control in West Africa). I also have a response to Gusterson forthcoming in Anthropology Today (the page proofs were just sent back the few days ago), which echoes some of the below.

I 100%, agree that anthropology's absence in gun control discussions is problematic and that the AAA response was weak (though I agree with it it did not seem to go far enough). For what its worth, I am also pretty far "left" (whatever that means) on the gun control spectrum (I grew up in Sweden, where guns are rarer than space aliens).

All that aside, I am struck by the idea, in Gusterson's article and (less so) here, that to document (ethnographically) a "gun culture" is in some way to support it or to make it understandable and therein validate their its view, even where it rests of incorrect facts. I don't think these things have to go hand-in-hand at all (nor do I think that such research would be a substitute for political action). I am reminded of Jennifer Schirmer's book on the Guatemalan military. Schirmer (a political scientists but her book is very anthropological) offers a great deal of "relativistic" insight into how torture and the like "made sense" to the Guatemalan military in order to explain how certain policies and practices took hold, not in order to validate torture and various other strategies of control.

Another issue, to me, is that those in favor of gun control tend to treat gun control as the "unmarked" half of the gun control/gun rights pairing (which is itself a simplification). I know this very phrase sounds like a big cop out ("let's nor argue for gun control, let's theorise it!"), but bear with me. The assumption that a government should be the sole regulator of what Elaine Scarry has called the "legitimate distribution of injuring power" is a relatively recent one tied to the consolidation of state power in the West and elsewhere (a la Weber). Scarry argues that discussions over the distribution of injuring power are not simply discussions of that but a more fundamental question of the nature of power in the polity. This is of course same terrain that some of the NRA-like gun control activists inhabit, which is disturbing to a pro-gun control anthropologist such as myself. Nonetheless to stop short of theorising the nature of state power when it comes to an issue where you agree with it seems a bit disingenuous (as a side note, I recently heard a presentation by Bill Maurer on the payment system where he basically exclaimed that "oh my gosh I am such a statist" and noted how discomforting that realisation was).

The big problem to me, and here I believe that we are in full agreement, is how to connect such insights or theorising or whatever with a political stance and not be paralysed by a kind of meek "everything is complicated and nuanced" stance. I do not think that viewing things as complicated and nuanced should preclude political action; anthropologists, like everyone else, have convictions after all. The bigger question is how anthropology as an institution should address gun control (note anthropology, not AAA). I don't have a terrific answer, but I do think part of the answer would be that anthropology can contribute to more responsive policy design by virtue of its cultural relativism, holism, emphasis on the emic, or whatever term you want to use (of course this leads to well-worn arguments about how such anthropological voices can rise above the din of the media, various pop-political science, and so on). This is in fact exactly the conclusion (though couched in different language) reached in much of the recent small arms control literature that argues for such holistic understandings of gun ownership and use.

You handled it really well, by the way. Repealing the 2nd Amendment is not enough, but it has to be done regardless, and since that seems to be the heart of any gun debate in the US, then it's time to get the archaic thing repealed and move on.

I can't believe I forgot to link to Gusterson's piece, Making a Killing, from the Feb 2013 issue of Anthropology Today. I'll update the post with a link.

- I'm not finding Hugh Gusterson's follow-up piece. Maybe I missed it?
- I still don't think we can let people get away with the idea that the Second Amendment, all by itself, precludes sensible legislation. After some extensive back-and-forth on one of my posts, Shoddy Anthropology & Gun Control, I'm a bit shaken by how much even some anthropologists seem to feel the 2nd Amendment entails, but for a number of reasons (I'll need to think more about this!) I just don't think 2nd Amendment repeal or even focus would be very effective.
In any case, thank you again, and great work.Jason Antrosiohttps://email@example.com

Eagle Rock Lake Tahoe Engagement | Carolyn & Mark
Eagle Rock and West Shore, Lake Tahoe
Carolyn and Mark are the type where I want to bottle them up and save them for a rainy day because their energy and spirit are off the charts! Originally we were supposed to photograph their engagement in San Francisco where they currently live, but because the weather was not in our favor, plans changed of course. They will be married in 2017 in Lake Tahoe which I am so elated about, so we all decided that Lake Tahoe would be the next best location for their engagement photos. Since they are triathletes, they were up for anything which made their engagement session so much fun to photograph!

- Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had another uneven day, going 19 of 32 for only 180 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. While Luck has cut down on the turnovers, he's not exactly lighting the world on fire. If anything, it might be time to buy-low.
- Texans running back Ben Tate had a decent day gaining 72 yards on 16 carries for a 4.5 YPC. He added three catches for 20 yards. Houston fell behind early which eliminated the running game. Tate should sign somewhere else next year where he'll finally have the opportunity to carry the load.
- With Colts incumbent running back Donald Brown got injured, Trent Richardson was forced back in. He had 64 carries on 19 carries for a very Trent Richardson-esque 3.4 YPC. He did add 38 yards on four catches but Richardson is what he is.
- Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton busted out (a little) with eight catches for 78 yards on 12 targets. The talk before the game was of Da'Rick Rogers but all Rogers did was open up the secondary for Hilton. Hilton is the long-term solution.

Jamesville-DeWitt High School junior Simon Schmitt-Hall recognizes that holding a political office might be a long shot, but he isn't deterred. And even if he wasn't successful in his political aspirations, Schmitt-Hall stilI wants to do as much as possible "to make a difference." Although not entirely newly found, many students, like Schmitt-Hall, have had a growth in their desires for political involvement since New York State's midterm elections.
This increase in political sentiment started way back in May when senior Josh Gutmaker got involved with the Democratic Committee for its upcoming midterm elections. Since Gutmaker's involvement, nearly a dozen more kids have gotten involved in the democratic campaign. Although not entirely influenced by Gutmaker, the idea of political volunteering grew more apparent after his entry to the Democratic Committee.
For example, Schmitt-Hall said he probably wouldn't have known about joining the Maffei campaign if it weren't for Gutmaker's involvement. Although already politically involved, being the Student Government Director of Communications, Schmitt-Hall, like many others, made the independent decision to volunteer for the Maffei campaign due to his love for politics.
Most student volunteers from J-DHS joined up with the democratic campaign. Junior Meg Parker said that she joined Maffei's campaign because she generally aligns herself with the "Democratic Party's ideals." Like Parker, senior Hunter Siegel-Cook, Gutmaker and Schmitt-Hall all had views similar to Maffei's.
However, one student had a different reason for joining the Maffei campaign. Junior Sargon Bebla, a republican, decided to ask to volunteer in both campaigns. Since the democratic campaign responded first, Bebla ended up working for Maffei.
Bebla is a firm believer that effective governance requires an open-mindset, something that he hoped to acquire by working with the opposite party's campaign. "I found it interesting working with the other side to understand their viewpoints," said Bebla.
Although Maffei's campaign was a failure, resulting in a 59.9 percent to 40.1 percent loss to John Katko on Nov. 4, 2014, it greatly increased student's political desires.
Some might find it ironic for high school students to get so heavily involved in political campaigns, as they can't vote, but it's actually quite logical. Lacking the right to vote is "the exact reason you have to get involved," said Gutmaker. Gutmaker explained that the only way to represent yourself in the United States as a minor is to directly involve yourself in the political campaigns. And even if students don't have an opinion, it teaches the students "so when they do have the right to vote" they can "make informed decisions," said Parker.

New bar-restaurant Highwater adds desert flare to midtown
New restaurant Highwater takes over Pour House with desert theme
Cacti, scorpions and cowboys on horseback are staples of the decor at Highwater, the recently re-branded restaurant in the former Pour House space in midtown.
Officially opened on Aug. 12, Highwater is owned and operated by Mick Stevenson and D.J. Rogers, who also own local delis Dad's Sandwiches and Dad's on J. They bought the space at 19th and Q streets eight months ago with the vision of transforming it into something a little spicier, Stevenson said.
"(Pour House) was bar food," he said. "This is Albuquerque-infused, high desert fare."
The owners ran Pour House for several months before they closed it for three days last week to print new menus, drape some New Mexico-inspired blankets over the back patio and stock the bar – historically offering a serious whiskey collection – with as many varieties of tequila and mezcal. The also changed the signage out front to reflect the new name.
The food has taken a distinctly southwestern turn, with a few other cuisines in the mix. The brunch list offers huevos rancheros and chilaquiles, while the main menu includes adobo chicken street tacos, a Kahlua-roasted pulled pork plate and the "Chuck Norris" burger topped with smoked gouda and "spicy spin kick mayo."
Aesthetically, much at the dimly lit, brick-walled restaurant has stayed the same, including the whiskey casks and the saloon-style wallpaper. A new desert scene mural, painted in reds and blacks by local artists Shaun Turner and Dan Osterhoff, is likely the biggest change customers will notice when they step into Highwater for the first time.
Miguel Garcia, 23, and Sydnie Reyes, 24, said they used to frequent Pour House for its ample seating and friendly service. They were surprised by the new decor and menu when they walked in Saturday.
"We wanted to come to Pour House," Reyes said jokingly while finishing brunch. "Last time we came for bottomless mimosas and really enjoyed their food. I like the new decorations and the atmosphere. It's a nice spot."
