How to Design an Aluminum SignRead Now
When it comes to designing an aluminum sign, there are certain things that you want to keep in mind. In this article, we will explore some of the best tips to keep in mind during the design process. This is the initial stages of the creation of the sign rather than the actual printing onto aluminum or blank metal street signs that happens later on. However, good preparation means that you will have a good sign that turns out well.
Keep in Mind the Four Color LimitOne thing to keep in mind is that you have a four color limit on the outdoor business signs that you create. Most printing companies will restrict you to four colors, often charging extremely large amounts for any additional colors and these four colors may be standardized, which means that you'll need to design your logo and your lettering around the four colors that are used. Talk to your sign company and find out what those four colors are.
Make Sure Your Design is VectorMake sure that you are creating a vector design that can be resized without losing any of its integrity. Your logo and the letters that you create are going to be resized to a large scale in order to fit on your aluminum sign. Making sure that you create your design as a vector first is going to give you the best advantage when it comes to ensuring quality. If you do not know how to create a vector sign, then you probably want to hire a graphic designer that has experience with creating logos and designs that are to be turned into large signs.
Ensure Font & Logo Look Good EnlargedYou also want to make sure that your font and logo look good when enlarged when making aluminum signs. This is partially to do with making sure that your design is vector, but has more to do with understanding how a particular font is going to look when it is larger than the small size that you see on your computer screen. Sometimes, fonts that look really good small look absolutely awful when they are enlarged. You have to do some research and enlarge the font is much as possible before hand – even sometimes printing off of mock sign on paper – to find out how it will look.
Be Aware of Color Differences Once PrintedMake sure that you know that there are going to be some color differences when printing on aluminum as well as other materials that you may have chosen. This is just a standard thing in printing. Your design may look one way on your computer screen, but when it comes out is going to look a little different. Be sure that you are aware of these differences.
The Bottom LineThe bottom line is that making a good logo and sign design requires that you understand how graphic design works and that you create a high-quality product to begin with. If you hire a graphic designer that knows what they are doing, these things will not be an issue because they are already accounted for.

Now that summer is FINALLY here to stay, don't forget to apply your insect repellent before heading outside.
Now through mid-July is highest risk period for Lyme, other diseases carried by Minnesota ticks.According to the Minnesota Department Of Health (MDH) Tickborne Diseases webpage:
Most tick bites do not result in disease, but it is a good idea to recognize and watch for the early symptoms of the more commonly encountered tickborne diseases in Minnesota.
Health officials warn that blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) like to hang out in many of the same places as Minnesotans this time of year. Using insect repellent and taking other precautions can help reduce your risk of getting one or more of several serious diseases carried by ticks. ~ MDH
There are a couple of tick varieties here in Minnesota:
The blacklegged tick can spread Lyme disease (the most common), as well as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and Powassan disease. In 2014, 896 Lyme disease cases were reported in the state, along with 448 human anaplasmosis cases and 49 babesiosis cases.
American dog ticks ("wood ticks"), which are very common in spring and early summer throughout wooded or grassy areas of Minnesota, can also carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). While RMSF is most common in the southern United States, a small number of RMSF cases have occurred in Minnesotans who did not travel outside the state.
The MDH cautions us to perform daily tick checks and follow these best practices for avoidance:
Know when you are in tick habitat; this is when it is most important to take precautions:
- Wooded or brushy areas for the blacklegged tick.
- Grassy or wooded areas for the American dog tick.
If you spend time outdoors in tick habitat, use repellent to lower the risk of disease:
- DEET-based repellents (up to 30 percent DEET) can be applied to clothing or skin.
- Pre-treating fabric with permethrin-based repellents can protect against tick bites for at least two weeks without reapplication. This is an excellent option for people who frequently venture into wooded areas.
Safe Tick Removal:
- Prompt tick removal is important.
- If possible, use a pair of tweezers to grasp the tick by the head.
- Grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull the tick outward slowly, gently, and steadily.
- Use an antiseptic on the bite.
- Avoid folk remedies like Vaseline®, nail polish remover or burning matches – they are not a safe or effective way to remove ticks.

Habitat management:
People who spend time at cabins on heavily wooded property often encounter ticks and should consider managing their landscape to reduce their risk. Consider the following strategies:
- Keep lawns and trails mowed short.
- Remove leaves and brush.
- Create a landscape barrier of wood chips or rocks between mowed lawns and woods.
- Apply pesticide treatments in the spring or early summer along the edges of wooded yards and trails; follow pesticide label instructions carefully.
Here are some things you can do to help control mosquitoes in your community.
- Empty water from buckets, tarps, toys, cemetery urns, water troughs, or other containers.
- Get rid of old tires.
- Change water every other day in birdbaths, fountains, rain barrels, and potted plant trays.
- Drain or fill puddles and low spots with dirt or landscape to reduce standing water.
- Treat and clean swimming pools and keep them circulating.
- Wear long sleeves and long pants if you must be in areas with lots of mosquitoes.
- Make sure windows and door screens are "bug tight."
- Turn off lights that attract mosquitoes.
- Replace outdoor lights with yellow "bug" lights".
- Get rid of old cans, containers, pots or other water-holding containers on your property.
- Drill holes in the bottom of containers that must be left outdoors, such as garbage cans.
- Check your roof gutters and adjust to eliminate standing water.
- Seal cisterns, septic tanks and fire barrels.
- Turn over children's wading pools when not in use.
- Turn over wheelbarrows, or keep them where they will not collect water.
- Fix leaky taps, faucets and sprinklers.
- Aerate ornamental pools or stock them with fish (South Dakota native fathead or killifish minnows).
- Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water.
- Keep weeds and tall grass cut short; adult mosquitoes look for these shady places to rest during the hot daylight hours.
- Use a flyswatter or household spray to kill mosquitoes inside buildings.
- Limit time outdoors from dusk to midnight when Culex mosquitoes are most active.
- Use mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535 when necessary, following label directions and precautions carefully.
- Some communities use chemicals to kill mosquito larvae and occasionally spray or fog to kill adult mosquito. If you have any questions, call your local mosquito control person.
Have a safe and happy summer!

text: 11-20 – Opened Windows "True repentance is to cease from sin." - St. AmbroseOverview: Malachi was one of the prophets of the Old Testament. He is credited with the writing of the book which bears his name. The book of Malachi deals with the fallen state of the nation of Israel as God rightfully accuses Israel of misconduct and evil. Even the priests were misleading the people in many ways such as in the area of tithes and offerings. Their own wrongdoing was bleeding down to the people, causing the entire nation to be guilty of robbing God. The name Malachi means, "messenger of Jehovah" and that is exactly what Malachi does – he brings a warning to a people who had seen the faithfulness of God and knew better than to fall into such a sinful state. Malachi chapter 3 still applies today in that we are to be faithful in the area of steward- ship so that God may respond on our behalf (v. 11).Memory verse: Malachi 3:10 – Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this, says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it."Malachi 31 "Behold, I send My messenger,And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek,Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight.Behold, He is coming," Says the Lord of hosts.2 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears?For He is like a refiner's fire And like launderers' soap.3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi,And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LordAn offering in righteousness.4 "Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem Will be pleasant to the Lord,As in the days of old, As in former years.5 And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witnessAgainst sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers,Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien—Because they do not fear Me," Says the Lord of hosts.6 "For I am the Lord, I do not change;Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.7 Yet from the days of your fathersYou have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them.Return to Me, and I will return to you," Says the Lord of hosts."But you said,'In what way shall we return?'8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say,'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.9 You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,"Says the Lord of hosts,"If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessingThat there will not be room enough to receive it.11 "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the Lord of hosts;12 And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land," Says the Lord of hosts.13 "Your words have been harsh against Me," Says the Lord,"Yet you say,'What have we spoken against You?'14 You have said,'It is useless to serve God;What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mournersBefore the Lord of hosts?15 So now we call the proud blessed,For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.'"16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them;So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.17 "They shall be Mine," says the Lord of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels.And I will spare themAs a man spares his own son who serves him."18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves GodAnd one who does not serve HimConfession: I will not be guilty of robbing the Lord in my tithes and offerings. I know God is faithful to His Word and He cannot lie. As I give, He will give back to me far more than I could imagine. I will be obedient in my giving and trust Him to supply my need. I will obey Him and do my part!THOUGHTS...INSIGHT...What is the Lord saying to me? Leave a comment below.Click here to download this week's devotional.Use Quizlet? Here is our P-52 Deck.

There's something about Clodagh
Sitting in her newly opened chic restaurant, Clodagh Mc Kenna is excited about what the future has to offer. Launched last September in Arnotts, the Homemade by Clodagh brand is the latest in a long line of successes for this Cork-born businesswoman. This banner comprises a food court, food market and Clodagh's Kitchen, the bistro-style restaurant which opened in early June.
Clodagh's career has spanned a variety of culinary-related activities, including an instrumental role in setting up farmers' markets in both Cork and Dublin, wirting her own cookbooks, hosting cookery courses and TV presenting for various cookery programmes. She can now add restaurateur to this list.
A self-confessed perfectionist when it comes to food, this attention to detail is also evident also in the thinking behind the Clodagh at Arnotts venture. The ethos is simple: locally sourced food served at a consistently high standard in both the café and for purchase in the food hall.
Pitching for the space in Arnotts was a fairly lengthy process. 'Nothing fell on my lap. The complete opposite. We fought for her for a year, baking cakes bringing them in proposals-everything and there was a lot of people trying to get this. They really had to believe in it.'
Such dogged determination also came into play when she got her first UK publishing deal with Kyle Cathie. 'Same with my book, back and forth to London trying to get a deal. I said if I'm going to do It I need to get an agent who deals with chefs and she was the agent for Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Rick Stein and she said no to me. So then once a month I'd send her over a packet of stuff from Ireland-updates, clips from appearances in UKTV food…I just pushed and pushed and pushed.' Now working on her fourth book, Clodagh's Kitchen Diaries, due out in October this year, it's clear that this tenacity has paid off.
She always wanted to open her own restaurant: 'I'd always thought that I'd do a restaurant later in my career-something I'd do at 40 or 50. There was no plan.' It's more a culmination of the trajectory upon which she found herself when she returned to Ireland after 3 years in Italy. Then aged 33, she refers to this as a turning point. 'I really need to set up for myself. It was time to make my own mark.'

American New Balance is the new kid on the block. With the launch of New Balance Visaro and Furon, they shocked the world back in 2014.

NB Furon is for the player that takes chances, finishes the opponents. No matter if you are looking for comfort or low weight, New Balance offers boots at all price points.Read more
New Balance are back in business. After a short break from football (or soccer, as the american brand's likes to call it), New Balance are now back again with two brand new New balance football boots in their artillery.
The brand New Balance is based in Boston, Massachusetts and was founded by William J. Riley in the year of 1906. It all started with sneakers and running shoes, and in 1961 they had a huge success with the Trackster, the first ever running shoe with a wave shaped sole. When Jim Davis took over the company in the late 70's, it started to grow and nowadays, New Balance is a well known brand all over the world.
New Balance had a smaller range of football boots during the 80's and 90's, but once they got merged with Warrior Sports, they decided to let them to all the football boots. But now they are back, and that's with a bang. Two brand new silos, New Balance Visaro and New Balance Furon. At the start, the boots was advertised as they were created to either make chances (Visaro) or take chances (Furon). Later, they went on to change the tag lines to Game On (Visaro) and Game Over (Furon). So wether you're the player who starts the attacks, or the one who ends them off, New Balance has got you covered. With great technologies, designs and colours, New Balance are here to compete with the biggest brands, and they are actually doing really great.
In their team of players, they have stars like Marouane Fellaini, Aaron Ramsey, Vincent Kompany, Joe Ledley and Samir Nasri on the Visaro side. And Jesus Navas, Alvaro Negredo and Tim Cahill on the Furon side. In other words, New Balance have been able to get big stars in short time. Something that witness of great products. They have also already become sponsors to some of the biggest football clubs in Europe, like Liverpool, Celtic, Porto, Sevilla and Lille. So you can really see how fast the brand New Balance is growing and how big they've managed to become in a short period of time.

MONTICELLO — The state's top correction official, Thomas Beilein, who on Wednesday ordered Sullivan County to close a third-floor section of its jail built in 1909, may appear like a new sheriff in town laying down the law.
MONTICELLO — The state's top correction official, Thomas Beilein, who on Wednesday ordered Sullivan County to close a third-floor section of its jail built in 1909, may appear like a new sheriff in town laying down the law.
But Beilein, chairman of the state's Commission of Correction, left options open during Wednesday's meeting at the Government Center in Monticello that are likely to spur a lively debate in Sullivan County.
Tom Manza, who has consistently spoken out against the proposed cost of a new jail, and its location — his neighborhood — says he left the meeting with a feeling that there are alternatives to building an expensive new jail.
"We have been told that everything has been mandated by the state," he said. "But (Beilein) said he was open to options, even if he didn't recommend them."
County Manager David Fanslau and Manza have often been at odds, but both now say options to lower cost need to be explored.
Fanslau says that Sullivan taxpayers will likely face double-digit tax increases if the county builds a new jail.
The cost of a new 256-bed jail is estimated to be between $70 and $80 million. He also says to expect double-digit increases if the county has to board out an increasing number of inmates.
The county Legislature has already approved a $1.2-million bond to purchase 50 acres in the Town of Thompson for a new jail.
There are two options in particular getting attention. The first would be some type of regional solution, where jail space could be shared with a neighboring county.
The second would be to get a private company to build the jail and have the county operate and lease the facility. This would allow the county to pay off the construction cost over a longer period of time than it would be given for a bond.
Details need to be worked out, and Fanslau said he couldn't guarantee that the Legislature would vote on a proposal this year.
But the clock is ticking.
If a new jail were to break ground today, it would take four to five years for it to be certified and opened, Beilein said.
Meanwhile, other sections of the jail may be closed by the Commission of Correction, reducing its capacity.
Beilein suggested in jest that Sullivan sell the 1909 fixtures in its jail on the popular PBS TV program, "Antiques Road Show."
"I might buy some," he said.

Current project: reading and writing As/if
My dissertation, Reading and Writing As/if: US Literary Criticism and Identity, examines literary criticism that acknowledges the inevitable roadblocks of reading and writing across difference, while still insisting on the generative potential of attempting it anyway. I call this as/if criticism, because it resides in the ambiguous space between writing "as" (a.k.a., reading and writing in accordance with the expectations attached to one's race, sexuality, gender, etc.) and writing "as if" (a.k.a., reading and writing in ways that temporarily, experimentally suspend the rules of identity). My dissertation takes a close look at the work of literary critics who brilliantly mediate these two modes: Eve Sedgwick's compendium of queer critical essays, Tendencies (1993); Deborah McDowell's debut work of black feminist criticism, The Changing Same (1995); Barbara Johnson's deconstructive take on race and gender, The Feminist Difference (1995); and Robert Reid-Pharr's innovative critical essay collection, Black Gay Man (2001). In every chapter, I analyze how each author's particular rhetorical choices contribute to his or her negotiation of identity. Ultimately, I show that these critical approaches may be better suited than such recent academic trends as surface reading, affect theory, or new materialism for describing the fraught social bonds, experimental allegiances, and unintuitive cross-identifications that occur between different subjects. As/if criticism harnesses rhetoric to highlight queer and feminist theory's longstanding struggle to negotiate between two traditions: on the one hand, an investment in the epistemological and political force of categories of identity, and on the other, a robust critique of fixed notions of identity. In other words, as/if criticism effectively models how literary criticism can also perform, in its style, the substance of its argument.
future work: voice and identity
My next project, Hear Me Out, seeks out examples of speech and storytelling that use voice to interrupt the progress of narrative itself, while at the same time paradoxically driving it forward. Looking closely at phenomena such as vocal coaching for transgender youth, "gay voice" and sibilance, and racial passing in radio or other nonvisual media, my future research examines the relation that the spoken word has to identity formation, especially with regard to race and gender.
My objects in this project include podcasts (Sarah Jones, "Look Both Ways Before Crossing," The Moth [2014]), documentaries (Do I Sound Gay?, dir. David Thorpe [2014]), science fiction films (Sorry to Bother You, dir. Boots Riley [2018]), opinion pieces (Guy Branum, "My Gay Voice," The New York Times [2018]), and online live video streams ("Arab Andy Live," youtube.com [2018]). I will examine these using a wide range of analytics, building on work by linguist Penny Eckhert, cultural critic Rey Chow, queer studies scholars Wayne Kostenbaum and Andrew Brooks, and critical race scholars Nicole Brittingham Furlonge, Jennifer Lynn Stoever, and Fred Moten, among others. Addressing contemporary examples of cultural production, including NPR radio stories, Netflix documentaries, and online video shorts, this research moves beyond authorial "voice" as it is understood in literary parlance, to theorize the simultaneously disruptive and productive potential of literal speech.other published research: queer sociality, graphic fiction, etc
other published research: queer sociality, comics, etc.
Beyond the focus of my main research project, in other peer-reviewed publications, my interest in how the negative becomes (perhaps counterintuitively) a coalitional, driving, or generative force has led me towards a number of different cultural objects. In "'That Infinite Sphere': Paradox, Paralepsis, and Parody in Les guérillères" (Feminist Spaces, 2016), I contend that Monique Wittig's lesbian science fiction novel Les guérilléres drives its plot 'forward' via omission rather than via supplied information. My essay "Critics on Critics: Queer Bonds" (GLQ December 2018), thinks anti-sociality alongside academic inquiry and collaboration. "In the Gutter: Comix Theory" (Comics Studies Journal, 2012) makes the case that comics' formal mechanisms (in particular, the "gutter" between panels, and the "stutter" produced by two consecutive panel frames) provocatively correspond to death drive as it is elaborated within anti-social strains of queer theory. I remain interested in comics as a medium particularly ripe for queer theoretical analysis, especially when it comes to the anti-social, and have another article on comics slated for publication in d i f f e r e n c e s: a Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies later this year. In this article, titled "Thwarting Repair: Gutter, Stutter, Are You My Mother?," I revisit Alison Bechdel's autobiographic comic Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama in order to contest previous feminist scholarship that focuses on her book's therapeutic value. My focus on comic books or genre literature such as science fiction stems from my firm belief that popular culture is often the best and most interesting spot for theorizing the lacunae that structure and compel creative production; this belief informs not only my published work, but also my teaching and critical collaborations.

- The Poet Laureate's Humber
201210 Aug
Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore's 1933 Humber bearing registration number WBA 8689 kept in a glass enclosure at Visva Bharati University in Santiniketan.
The 1933 Humber was perhaps the only car that Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore ever called his own. He loved the car and used it till his last days. Beside the bard, this historic car has had illustrious passengers like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru. autojunction.in uncovers the tale of the Humber.
In the year 1938, Rabindranath Tagore's eldest son and the first Upacharya of Visva Bharati - Rathindranath Tagore returned from the United States after completing his studies in Agricultural Science from Illinois. In the same year, Rathindranath purchased a pair of 1933 Humber sedans from HH Lilley, Rootes Ltd, which was the only Humber dealer for the whole of India, Burma and Ceylon. Its showroom stood at 42 Park Street in Calcutta. Rathindranath purchased these cars for 400 pounds each (approximately Rs 5300 in 1938 and Rs 7.4 lakh in current valuation). One of these two cars was kept at Tagore's ancestral home in Jorasankho in north Calcutta, while the other was taken to Visva Bharati in Santiniketan.
Tagore was not keeping well in those days but still made it a point to walk to different ends of the campus every day. This is the reason why Rathindranath bought the car for him. Tagore just loved the car and would take a spin several times a day. It was the only motorised vehicle in those parts at that point in time and evoked a lot of awe, because the sight of it always meant that the poet was on his rounds. Tagore had also got the car customised by fixing sitalpati (handmade mats) in the interior of the car to keep it cool.
Humber was a British automobile marque which was started by Thomas Humber in 1868 and grew into one the largest and most well renowned British automobile manufacturers of all time. One of the most famous cars coming off its production lines was the 1933 Humber Snipe and Pullman sedan. The four door sedan's power unit was a straight six of 3,948.5 c.c. with a bore and stroke 80x116 mm and over-head inlet and side exhaust valves.
Other mechanical innovations utilised in this car included:
- A mechanical fuel pump
- Radiator shutters operated by thermostat in the header tank
- Engine and gearbox in one unit with silent-bloc trunnion mountings
- A starter motor with 2-to-1 drive to ensure that the engine was spun rapidly when cold
- A new frame with deep-section sides had an extra stiff and deep triangulated cross member in the middle
- Suspension was, of course, non-independent with beam axles and half-elliptic springs
- A new downdraught carburetor
In 1931 when the Rootes Brothers bought a majority shareholding, the Humber lost its independent innovations, as numerous designers left Humber, lacking the freedom of workspace. But eventually the 1933 Humber model regained its market share lost during the depression period and brought "the eccentricity" back into the British Automobile market.
Tagore's 1933 Humber is currently on display at the Visva Bharati University in Santiniketan.

After a turbulent campaign, the Blues are still fighting for silverware on two fronts.
They are favourites to reach the Champions League semis after their last eight first-leg 1-0 win at Benfica.
And Chelsea are one win away from the FA Cup final, having booked a last-four Wembley clash against London rivals Tottenham.
Mata said: "Are we good enough to win a trophy? Why not, why not?
"It will not be easy, but we are alive and are fighting for the Champions League and FA Cup.
"We will try to finish the Premier League in third or fourth position and will fight for that."
Mata also backed Roberto Di Matteo's decision to ring the changes against Benfica, when he swapped six stars from the goalless league draw against Spurs.
But the Spanish midfielder warned his team-mates the tie is not over ahead of next Wednesday's Stamford Bridge second leg.
He said: "We have a lot of games every week and I think it is a clever decision [to rotate the squad].
"Every player is involved to achieve our objectives in the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League.
"It was a good result against Benfica.
"The most important thing when you play away is to try to keep a clean sheet and then try and score.
"But we have not finished (the tie) and we have to fight at Stamford Bridge. It is not over yet. Benfica for sure will come to our stadium to try to score. We have to fight again."
Real Madrid are lining up a £10m summer swoop for unsettled Blues midfielder Raul Meireles.
Meireles only joined in August from Liverpool, signing a four-year deal.
But the Portuguese midfielder is already considering his future – and Madrid are ready to take advantage.
Meireles is eyeing the exit after being left upset by Andre Villas-Boas' sacking.

Well, we met the Gatekeeper. His little eyes would surface.
I'm not really sure how fast all these senior birdwatchers could run, but my bet was with the guy in a motorized wheelchair.
The Rookery did not disappoint, and it wasn't dusk.
Even our favourite bird, the snowy egret was there. Remember him on a windy day?
Unfortunately with no binoculars I was unable to pick out this one: but I can tell you the dark smudge in the water is a gatekeeper!
I need to go back there before sunset one day when all the birds flock to roost
Must be a lot of chatter.
Afterwards we headed over to Cedar Reef Fish Camp where Harbans had a chowder and lobster sandwich and I had a crab cake. Neither one of us tried the Alligator.
Oops, upside down, excusez-moi. I wasn't sure I wanted soup that bites back..

Catholic Choristers Allegedly Ignore Burial Of One Of Their Own Because He Owed Choir Dues
Now this is according to Facebook User, Ifeanyị Ọnwụnemea who claims members of a Catholic Church in Owerri ignored the burial ceremony of one of their own because he was owing choir dues. Ifeanyi said the choristers refused to attend the burial and the church is gradually becoming something else. He wrote;
''Because Chima couldn't pay all his Choir dues, his Church Choir – Immaculate Conception Parish, Owerri – refused to attend and sing at his Burial Mass.
Some of the said Parish members only arrived at his graveside just to show pretence.
That's too bad for a boy who had been an ORPHAN. Sincerely, the Catholic Church is gradually becoming a monumental disappointment.''

As the industry evolves, more urgent cares are evaluating their current electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) software solutions to make sure their practice is competitive and their processes are efficient. What worked 10 years ago needs a second look as the industry moves forward.
While urgent cares continue to be focused on efficient workflow, choosing the right partners can also have a big effect on your success.
The wrong EMR can end up costing clinics time and money—and frustration. Most practices admit to not fully considering their clinic's needs when analyzing which EMR/PM to choose and, not surprisingly, the inability to meet practice needs is one of the most common reasons many urgent cares are looking for a new solution. In addition, shakeups in the industry based on compliance issues and business model evolution have many on-demand healthcare providers considering a switch.
You undoubtedly have a running list of what's important when choosing an EMR/PM—not only software features, but also how well your goals align with the provider you choose. The following list of must-haves, based on years of helping urgent cares find their best solution, includes both software and service priorities that you need to consider.
1. Partnership
While partnership is not actually a feature, it's at the top of the list because it's essential to your successful urgent care operation. A number of EMR vendors can provide workable software, not all of them will understand your business, share your goals, or provide added support, insight, and flexibility to work with you toward your success. The EMR/PM vendor you choose should listen to your needs and deliver software and services that meets them. They should also understand your revenue cycle and provide support and guidance to be sure you're doing everything you can on your side to keep your clinic in good financial shape.
As the industry evolves, many urgent cares are evolving with it, offering a variety of additional ancillary services like OccMed or limited primary care. As you consider different EMR vendors, think about what they offer in addition to software and if they have the flexibility to ensure your EMR works the way you do.
And don't limit your thinking to what you need now, but include your aspirations for the future of your business. Can your partner make your growth as painless as possible and adapt as you adapt?
Remember, partnership doesn't end with EMR implementation. It's only the beginning of a relationship that grows with time and benefits both parties.
Tip: Choose a business partner that can provide more than software. Your EMR/PM provider must understand your business philosophy, share your values, and contribute to your success by providing insight that supports your growth and development.
Priority 2 – Customization and Easy-to-Use Navigation
Most software is made to be generic so it can be useful for a wide range of specialties. However, the best software providers offer personalization options. EMRs should be no exception. Customized procedure lists and templates can improve chart completion rates and overall revenue. You'll also notice higher employee satisfaction and engagement when your EMR works with your processes.
A flexible EMR—even a practice-specific model—should allow you to tweak documentation processes to meet your needs. You should be able to create complaint-specific templates (and corresponding symptom attributes) based on each provider or clinic location's requirements. The best solutions will let you customize reports, staff reminders, free text fields, and occupational medicine protocols. Customization should be simple, without complex programming required.
Simplicity is not only important to customization, but it's critical to navigation, saving practitioners and staff time and effort. Simple navigation starts with an intuitive interface that takes users through documentation in logical steps.
While many EMRs utilize cumbersome drop-down lists and window-in-window navigation, an EMR for urgent care should allow you to document in the fewest number of steps possible. With navigation support, like single-click selections, search queries, and favorites lists, providers won't have to duplicate their efforts re-entering patient and encounter information.
To accommodate urgent care workflow, your EMR should allow various staff to document an encounter in any order they prefer, and access the chart simultaneously.
Tip: Pick an EMR that fits you, not one that confines you to its parameters. Ask up front about customization options so you know what can be changed within the software. Review what modifications will be needed for optimal EMR use with your staff. Create an ideal flow beforehand. and see if the EMR can do it.
Priority 3 – Powerful Business Intelligence
Urgent care is increasingly competitive. Making smart business decisions is so much easier when you have access to relevant, actionable data—ideally, this is readily available from your EMR/PM partner.
In today's healthcare environment, we are inundated with data, beginning with the demographic information we collect from patients during registration. We collect more data at every step of the process including the most common complaints, the types of protocols we follow, and time spent per encounter. When pulled together, this data gives us power.
Your EMR should allow you to access this essential data at a glance, in real or almost-real time. It should give you the ability to configure data in a way that makes sense for your business, get numbers fast, identify trends, and drill down to get specific actionable data that is relevant to your clinic.
With the right analytics tools, you have access to key performance indicators tied to visit volume, door-to-door times, revenue, and collections, and evaluate where you excel or fall behind based on current benchmarking data. Business intelligence provided through your EMR/PM software, and by your EMR partner should give you the ability to leverage information to improve productivity, expedite revenue, and make wise business decisions—on your time frame.
Tip: Look for an EMR partner that understands the importance of analytics in your day-to-day operations, and don't settle for a solution that doesn't provide the tools you need.
Priority 4: Interfacing
No EMR is an island, even an integrated EMR. As a central storage area for patient data, an EMR must be able to transfer information both in and out. Choose an EMR that gives you the ability to interface with outside labs, radiology centers, and pharmacies for ePrescribing.
Most interfaces are facilitated through the Health Level Seven (HL7) standard language today, but this is moving quickly to an API world. Interfacing should have bidirectional data sharing capability, effectively swapping information back and forth, so when updates are done in one system—a patient address update for example—the change is also sent and recorded in the interfaced system. This joining of digital hands is essential to efficiency when x-rays or lab work are involved.
When evaluating EMR/PM vendors, check to see if they have successfully completed the types of interfaces your urgent care needs. Experience with interfaces means it's more likely they can quickly and affordably create the interfaces you require.
Tip: Ask prospective EMR vendors about their interface capabilities—and if established third-party vendors are already in place.
Priority 5: Training and Technical Support
Software is a tool, and it's only effective in the hands of skilled users. To make an EMR successful, both administrative and clinical staff must be properly trained. Ask EMR vendors about their training programs. Do they have trainers on staff to help get clinic personnel up to speed during implementation? And is training included as a part of implementation or an additional cost? What about ongoing training? Whether online or on-site, continuous training ensures your staff stays up to date on software functionality.
Access to online training helps save valuable time when onboarding new personnel. This is especially helpful for urgent care clinics which experience frequent employee turnover, along with a high percentage of part-time staff and temporary personnel. Of course, personalized training will be the most effective for EMR mastery, so check to see if the EMR vendor you're considering has separate, role-based training for registration, triage, and billing staff.
Support doesn't stop with implementation. You'll need ongoing help to answer questions as they come up after your EMR is up and running. Make sure your EMR partner has its own technical support team—not contracted personnel who may be located anywhere in the world. Be sure the implementation and support team can speak the urgent care language, understands the U.S. healthcare industry, and is committed to your success.
We would all love it if software issues only occurred during business hours, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. Be sure your EMR partner has the staff to handle after-hours troubleshooting, and that they're equipped with the skills and tools to get you back on track.
Tip: Find out if training and support is offered as part of the EMR pricing or if it costs you more. Online training programs will save you valuable time with new hires. Reliable, committed EMR vendors will offer comprehensive, role-based training, and ongoing stateside tech support.
Priority 6: Patient-focused Functionality
An urgent care EMR should have tools for patient interaction. A tablet-based EMR that allows for patient engagement and education at the same time as charting can improve the delivery of care and build patient relationships. In addition, an EMR can offer other interactive tools to help patients take charge of their health choices and payment options.
If you haven't thought about online registration and wait time transparency, you should. With these patient-centric tools, patients can complete registration before they arrive at the clinic. Then at the clinic, include a simple check-in kiosk and queue display in the lobby that shows the order of patients. Add to this, text-based appointment reminders, notifications about wait time, and secure notifications regarding the availability of lab results, and you not only engage your patients, you build relationships.
Software that offers patients the ability to pay online or setup payment plans can not only improve the patient experience, but decrease collection time.
Even in an urgent care environment where patients typically follow up with their primary care physician, communication should continue after the visit. Gauge patient satisfaction and encourage positive online reviews with a simple text-based, post-visit patient survey. One simple question about quality of service can send up a flag when a patient is dissatisfied, and allow your staff to follow up with timely service recovery. This not only lets a patient know you care, but discourages negative online reviews or word of mouth.
Another point of contact might be a web-based patient portal, which allows patients to login via the internet and view private messages, lab reports, appointment details, or other documents from their doctor—all in a secure environment.
Tip: Engage patients with helpful tools like wait time transparency, online check-in, and text reminders. Collaborate and communicate back and forth with patients with an EMR that has a secure patient portal. Also consider using a tablet-based EMR that helps improve patient-doctor interaction.
Priority 7: Dedicated Focus
A chiropractor office's workflow is different than a pediatric clinic's. Physical therapy is different than cardiology, and your urgent care is no exception. Choose an EMR built with your service line in mind. With software designed to work with your typical patient scenarios, there's no need to modify an EMR to fit your clinic's workflow—saving you time and frustration. A one-size-fits-all EMR doesn't really fit anyone. Larger EMR vendors often focus on servicing hospitals and general practice clients—and don't make EMRs to fit specialized medicine—nor are they focused on speed of documentation.
In an on-demand healthcare environment, user convenience also speeds up documentation for users and allows them to work on-the-go. Think about mobility when you make your choice. Tablet-based EMR software offers more convenience than applications that work only on a desktop.
Tip: Pick an EMR made specifically for your urgent care practice. All the bells and whistles offered by some EMR vendors actually sound like a lot of noise in an on-demand healthcare environment where quick and accurate charting is priority. One size does not fit all.
It can be a daunting task to choose the right EMR/PM software solution for your urgent care—especially with so many to choose from. The successful operation of your urgent care is hindered or helped by your EMR partner. If you're switching from your current EMR, you know the limitations some EMRs have. Take your time and test each EMR option against the features you need. The perfect software, including a perfect EMR, doesn't exist. But there is an EMR that will work best for your clinic's situation.
An EMR review committee, composed of users and staff with a variety of perspectives, can help your clinic choose the right option. Most importantly, don't settle for a solution without thinking about future growth. Choose an agile, forward-thinking partner that stays ahead of the trends and positioned to grow and change with the industry. A good EMR partner will not only help your urgent care run smoothly, but will also be committed to the success of your entire business. Only you can determine which EMR is best for you.

Twin treat
Penguin celebrates 20 years in India this year, and coinciding the landmark, comes a two-volume compendium of extracts from its fiction titles. Being the largest publishing house in India today, this is the richest, most representative collection of writing on and about South Asia to have come out. From Khushwant Singh and Pico Iyer to Amitav Ghosh, Vikram Seth and Rohinton Mistry, it's all here. A worthy piece for personal collections.
Builder's block
Family inheritance, a vision, a brand, the brand's success—a business biography can be more than that. Why then would you read Moguls of Real Estate, a book that explore not much more than that about five real estate giants who have revolutionized the sector in India—Kushal Pal Singh, Niranjan Hiranandani, Sushil Ansal, Shapoor Pallonji Mistry and Irfan Razack. But the author, Manoj Namburu, the chairman and managing director of the Alliance Group in Bangalore, offers some insider's insight into the highs and lows of India's real estate story. It is also of interest to insiders because the workings of this industry hadn't been documented in a book so far./Content/Videos/2007-11-15/SS151107.flv26b73aae-92af-11dc-8eea-000b5dabf636.flv
Ugly truths
Books of investigative journalism are still hard to come by in India. In their account of the real story behind the 1984 Sikh riots in Delhi, senior editor Manoj Mitta and advocate for the cause, H.S. Phoolka, claim that the Ranganath Misra Commission, which probed the carnage, presented a "diluted" version of events and also blame the police for the mass killings. When a Tree Shook Delhi, if not an eye-opener, is important for the details that prove the complicity of the Delhi police in the riots that broke out after Indira Gandhi's assassination on October 31, 1984.
Last testament
Based on the private letters and written testimonies of Lord Mountbatten, Shashi Joshi's play, The Last Durbar, is an informal, personal take on the last days of the British empire. The dramatic prose is not powerful, but after a spate of books on the the same subject since 15 August this year, this is a refreshing take on our political leaders of the time, portrayed without using the rhetoric of greatness and idealism. The drama form is used to explore a complex era in world politics.
Past forward
A contender for the Man Booker Prize this year, Nicola Barker's comical epic Darkmans has a host of confused, eccentric and fantastical characters—phantom birds flapping about, figures from the past invading the mind and making history repeat itself. The 838-page novel is based on The Owl Service, a spooky 1967 children's classic by Alan Garner, still in print. Beyond Barker's wit and humour, the imaginative power of the book is still rooted in Garner's story, but Darkmans is sure to intrigue lovers of the fantasy genre.
Human vs political
This novel, set against the spice trade in 16th century India ten years after Vasco da Gama's landfall at Calicut in 1498, evokes an era of turmoil, when new beliefs invaded ancient faiths. Four different characters—a trader, a pirate, an ascetic and a tribal girl—sets out to discover themselves during the turbulent times. The girl finds the "city of love" and has the best answer to the human dilemmas that afflict the ordinary Indian during that time.

Ramon is able to apply data and facts to every conversation and provides concrete evidence behind our ideas and findings. Science isn't the only thing that defines Ramon, however, in addition to a major in astrophysics, Ramon received a minor in Chinese from Franklin and Marshall college and was able to study abroad in both China and India.

This Velveeta queso crockpot recipe is an instant hit at any party. It's the queso dip that people expect – cheesy, flavorful, hearty, and perfect for dipping!
Warm, melted and smooth cheese mixed with savory seasoned chili with ground beef will keep your guests happy.
Even better, it's insanely easy and you likely have these ingredients on hand in your pantry already. Because it's made in the slow cooker, it's even easier! Just put the ingredients in the slow cooker early in the day, turn it on, and open it up to find perfect easy queso dip!
Just know that if you serve this before supper, you may not even get to the main course! I've seen friends eat so much of this dip we almost skipped dinner because they were so full!
This is a queso con carne dip with Velveeta. Sure, Velveeta has its detractors, but there's no denying that it melts beautifully, and it's a breeze to work with in the kitchen.
Velveeta is especially good for making this queso dip in the slow cooker because it won't clump or separate. This Velveeta cheese dip recipe stays this beautiful creamy thick consistency even as it cooks, or if you accidentally over cook it, or leave it in the slow cooker for hours to stay warm.
You've got to love Velveeta for that!
I'll be the first to say this easy Velveeta dip definitely isn't an authentic Mexican queso dip! Authentic Mexican queso is delicious, but it's made with a combination of Mexican cheeses (like Chihuahua, Oaxaca, cotija and queso fresco) that are often hard to find. Stay tuned! We'll be posting an authentic recipe soon!
This is the recipe for queso that's more authentically Tex-Mex. If you've visited Texas or New Mexico, this is the recipe you've probably had at any tailgating party.
This dip is super easy and delicious, and it'll become a staple in your kitchen.
Just break out the cold beverages, add some tortilla chips to the mix, and you'll have a party dipping hit on your hand. This yummy Velveeta queso dip with ground beef the perfect way to keep your guests happy whether you're tailgating, celebrating the Superbowl, or hanging out at home.
I can't imagine ever having leftovers, this is so good, but this is incredibly tasty over french fries or a baked potato! So good! The dip reheats beautifully in the microwave. Try these low fat air fryer fries if you're trying to save a few calories.
To make this vegetarian, substitute the can of chili for 10 oz of Yves vegetarian ground round, 3 tablespoons of salsa, and 1 package of taco seasoning. Alternatively, you could just substitute the can of chili for vegetarian chili, but you'll have a chunkier dip with beans and tomatoes.
We use regular (orange) Velveeta in this crock pot recipe. You can use white Velveeta, but we prefer orange, because the white Velveeta and ground beef in this recipe don't look as appetizing together as the orange Velveeta.
Want to kick this Velveeta chili cheese dip recipe up a notch? Add diced jalapenos, or fried onions. To kick up the spiciness of this recipe, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or add 2 Tbsp picante sauce (though picante sauce will make the dip a little less thick). If you want, add a quarter cup of salsa to kick up the flavor, though the dip is a little less thick.
If you like this dip, try our hugely popular and delicious easy five ingredient taco dip with cream cheese, or our yummy bacon crack dip. They're both so delicious!

This is the final event in the 2013 - 14 programme and we finish with the ever popular Open Forum. This year we are delighted to welcome an exceptionally interesting and varied panel of experts: John Glen, CEO of the Buccleuch Group, John Wright, retired banker and former CEO at the Clydesdale & Yorkshire Banks and someone who requires no introduction Murdo Beaton.
John Glen was appointed Chief Executive of the Buccleuch Group in 2008. He is a Scot and a graduate of Edinburgh University who has enjoyed a long and varied career with both Unilever and Air Liquide. John has had extensive experience in the international market across a number of sectors including household products and foods, working in the UK, Germany, the US and France.
John Wright needs little introduction being a regular and welcome speaker at our events. Although retired from Banking since 2001 John continues as a Non Executive Director in a variety of Banking, Commercial and other entities in the Public and Private Sectors. Having correctly forecast that recovery from the recession would not kick in until 2012 we can look forward to hearing John's current thoughts on the state of the economy.
Murdo Beaton is well known to members of the Exporters Association through his time at Edinburgh International Trade. A real font of knowledge there can be few exporters who have not called upon Murdo for advice. Now many new to exporting are benefitting from the IPP programme he developed for SDI. I can safely say there is little Murdo does not know about exporting.
As always, we will hear sound words of advice from the panellists but we also want to hear from members and guests who will be encouraged to put their questions to the panel and to share their own recent experiences.
As usual, Scottish Borders Exporters Association events are open to anyone whether they are involved in international trade or not. Manufacturers, IT, designers, service providers, everyone is welcome. The presentations will be followed by a finger buffet giving everyone the opportunity to exchange views and news with the speakers, members and guests. We look forward to welcoming you.
The cost to non-members including the buffet is £12

Enough is enough. If I was to perform at optimal levels in life, I knew I needed to be on point not only mentally but also physically. After many seasons of plateauing with fitness, I decided to dig deeper to reach new levels. During July, I realized that technology really started to have an influence on my success. Unfortunately, there is no app that can slap food out of your hand or force you to exercise. However, I used technology to my advantage and it helped me stay on track. Here are some of my apps below: Fooducate
My first biggest obstacle was deciding to embark on a lifestyle of healthy foods. Simple right? NOPE. Now, I am not saying I cut off all of my favorites foods (not going to happen lol), but I figured if I could eat healthy for 80-90% of my meals, I would be in good shape. My friend introduced me to this app called Fooducate. This app reminds me of myfitnesspal but without the exercise portion. When I grocery shop, I try to buy mostly fresh food, but I also buy packaged goods as well. All I do is scan the barcode of the bag/box, and it gives me a grade (A+ to F) and the rankings in nutritional content. It is very helpful when trying to determine if the food is really "low sodium" "light" or "fat free."
Before I start, I will honestly say that I have cooked more this past year, than in the past 2-3 years. (apologies to all of my college roommates who I have cheated out of meals). Now, I cook probably twice a week so I can have healthy meals to sustain me. If I really wanted to be a consistent, I knew that I had to find healthier alternatives to my favorite foods. By using Pinterest, I can do that and more. I just find recipes to substitute healthy carbs and use fruit and natural sweeteners to satisfy my sweet tooth. Many of these recipes only use a few ingredients which cuts down on time.
Snapchat + Fitbit Charge HR
These two combined have assisted me in the major aspects of setting any goal: consistency & accountability. This might be surprising, but Snapchat played a big part last month in making sure I stayed on track with my workouts. Every morning I would post a photo to my story (snapchat: allthatiskim) either before or after my workout as if I was "checking in." See after a while, my friends would start to expect a workout snap of me every morning to make sure I was staying on top of it, and if I missed a day then they would call me out on it. What also made me accountable is my precious fitbit, my own personal wearable trainer. I always want to walk/run more (at least 10K avg steps a day, yay!), take the stairs instead of the elevator, or even get more sleep to meet my goals. One of the features is an alarm that I definitely use to wake me up so I can get to the gym on time.
SN: Between June-July, the company I work for had a corporate wide fitness challenge, and I convinced two of my coworkers to get this device. Trust, it definitely keeps you in check if you use it to its full potential. I also like competing against my Fitbit friends so if you want a challenge…..add me! (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Overall, I always like finding ways to make life simpler. The way I used these apps could be described as unconventional; however, it is helping me stay on track to accomplish my goal. At the end of the day every person is different. With anything you choose to accomplish, you must always figure out what is the best avenue for you. Do you have any fitness apps that you love and I might need to try? Let me know by commenting below!

Philippine Team wins 2018 NASA Space Apps Challenge
QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Out of the 1,395 teams around the world, Philippine team iNON won first place in the 2018 NASA Space App Challenge Best Galactic Impact category with their ISDApp, an app that communicates crucial information about real-time weather and sea conditions to fisher folks.
Using NASA Globe observer data, the app will be able to provide life-saving weather information to fisherfolk's cellphones without the use of internet.
U.S Ambassador to the Philippnes, Sung Kim congratulated the five-man team composed of Matthew Concubierta, Revbrain Martin, Marie Jeddah Legaspi, Leandro de Guzman and Julius Czar Torreda, for their achievement.
"I am deeply impressed by team iNON's fantastic achievement in defeating teams from around the world to win first place in the Galactic Impact category of the NASA Space Apps Challenge. They can inspire other Filipino youth to develop innovative solutions to problems in their own communities," Ambassador Kim said.
Team Leader, Legaspi explained the importance of the said app which, according to him, "is a simple solution with an important purpose, which we believe helped it swim to success. This is proof that even technology needs a heart." — Aileen Cerrudo
