I fell in love at a very young, impressionable age. From across the room, I saw the beckoning curves of this new companion, and was seduced by the chance to explore — unchaperoned — the farthest, uncharted reaches of my imagination. I hopped on, held on, and soon enough, the (training) wheels came off. I was three years old.
Why does the bicycle elicit so much joy in our lives? Is it, as Gregory Crichlow of Chocolate Spokes says, that you are "always in a convertible"? While I'm not entirely fond of the automobile analogy, it is true, the windows are always rolled down! And that undeniable feeling of freedom, mixed with an ever-increasing combination of confidence and independence, crossed with curiosity? What an intoxicating elixir!
Throughout my life, I've felt the unmitigated joy of having owned and ridden many astoundingly beautiful bicycles. Often times it's the simplest of pleasures to explore your own city, covering miles of emotions worked out over long, languid rides from one neighborhood to the next and as in life, there are always a few true loves.
Huffy Paydirt
Hand-me-down bikes from my older brother and sisters followed, and by the age of eight, I was a certified bicycle lothario, spending every possible moment astride my very first NEW bike, the Huffy Paydirt. I chronicled the experience, for my 2nd Grade Language class (which, to my great delight, my Mother saved).
Riding the Paydirt on dirt trails and paths behind my grade school, near the Tom O'Leary golf course, and if I was feeling extra-adventurous, the infamous "Cycle Hills," a steep, wooded slope of dirt jumps near the local Junior College popular with the older motorcycle crowd, imbued a life-long love for pedaling, a bond that has only ensorcelled me further as life has rolled on.
1993 Bridgestone XO-1
Bridgestone only offered this model for two years in the early '90s an ahead-of-its-time do-anything cross-over you could ride on the street, in the dirt, and anywhere in between. Not quite unicorn status, but a bike that aficionados still lust after to this day. That's not why it's dear to my heart.
My pumpkin orange XO-1 was acquired second-hand from a close friend. Frame couplers were later installed so that the bike could pack down into its own suitcase, which meant easy traveling. I rode that sucker 2000km across dusty Cambodian moonscapes and verdant Vietnamese fields in 2003 on a nine-week tour. I "raced" it in Sweden (2006) and Scotland (2007) in the Single Speed Mountain Bike World Championship events.
It literally has been around the world with me, and in a moment of wanton stupidity I recently sold this bike, but rest a little easier knowing the new owner has embarked upon a series of his own adventures with this sanguine machine.
Soulcraft Royale Road Machine
This is my first "custom" bike, built to my measurements. You could say having a custom bike is like owning a "bespoke" suit, or visiting a Haberdasher. This blue-eyed Soulcraft Royale is the one bike I will unequivocally, absolutely own forever.
What makes it special? Why am I so smitten? So head over heels in love? It is hard to quantify. I suppose it's much like when you meet "the one." You just know it.
There is an effortless comfort and familiarity, the miles simply unfold in front of me when I ride the Royale. It seems to sense where I want to go, how fast (or slow) I want to get there. We complete each others sentences and she waits patiently for me to return if I run off with another B-Road …
Breadwinner B-Road
A man with two custom-built bikes deserves no accolades, but in 2015 I was chosen to be part of a team that rode the Rouge Roubaix, a 105-mile mixed surface road race in the Tunica hills near St. Francis, Louisiana. The Breadwinner boys—Ira Ryan and Tony Pereira—based in Portland, Ore., created an absolute stunner of a bike for this sometimes jaded geezer.
Like me, Ira is from the Midwest, and he definitely has that hard-man mentality, knowing what works, what doesn't, but ultimately understanding that it comes down to the rider, and the B-Road never gets in the way, only enhances the ride.
The B-Road is a head turner and a quick learner, and the honeymoon phase continues to this day. I love the B-Road, and have used it for fast road rides, gravel races, some week-long tours/light bike-packing. I even rode it 500 miles in 5 days back to Bismarck, ND for my 30th high school reunion. The B-Road loves to explore and handles it all like a boss.
There's nothing I dislike about it. I'll ride this one to the edge of the horizon.
In the future, there may be others who will make my heart race and my hands sweat and my head swim with that sweet anticipation of getting to know one another, while exploring new, nebulous frontiers.
But look, I'm human, too, and if I go more than 24 hours without the comforting, cranking caress of one of my true loves, I can devolve into a hot mess of depression and melancholy. Sometimes life will take you in unexpected directions, down unforeseen double-tracks of desire, or avenues of pain, and force you to look deep inside yourself.
And it's during these tumultuous moments that I know that my foundational love of cycling will never waver, and that I'll never forget the loves of my life.

Christmas markets in London
Clapham's Winterville usually goes way beyond the usual chalets and bratwurst combo – last year they had musical bingo, Mexican wrestling and a Xmas show on a double decker bus. Expect outdoor ice skating, delicious streetfood and even crazy golf. In 2018, entry was free with an advanced ticket or event; otherwise, it cost around £2.
Southbank Centre Wintertime Market
Fondue, igloos, fire pits and fairy lights – what's not to like about Southbank Winter Festival, which usually pops up beside the Thames from November. Foodies will love it, as those Winter favourites (raclette, bratwurst) will be served up alongside international cuisine. Entry is free, just head for Hungerford Bridge.
Winter Wonderland
Even the Grinch would have a real job stealing all the Christmas from Hyde Park's annual tribute to festive fun. Entry to Winter Wonderland is free, and a wander past the fairground rides, around child-friendly Santa Land (including Santa's grotto) or through the markets is a real treat for Christmas megafans. For access to the other festive activities, attractions and themed bars you'll need to book tickets.

Matrimandir Meditation Centre
Posted under Religion by gems78 on Monday 22 December 2008 at 5:58 pm
Auroville, in the former French colony of Pondicherry, is an independent settlement inspired by the spiritual teachings of Sri Aurobindo. Intended to be an ideal city for spiritual seekers, it is steadily evolving according to the master plan drawn up by Mirra Alfassa, known for Aurovilians as the Mother, the Paris-born spiritual partner of Sri Aurobindo.
A stunning modern-day architectural conception, situated in an expansive landscaped area referred to as Peace, the meditation centre takes the form of a golden globe appearing to rise out of the earth as a symbol of spiritual consciousness. The centre takes its golden hue from cladding formed of stainless-steel discs coated with gold leaf.
There are no organized rites or symbols within this space to distract visitors from their thoughts or direct them toward a specific religion. The Matrimandir Meditation Centre was conceived simply as an embodiment of peace. In its remarkable meditation chamber, one can rethink one's self – an experience truly worth having.

ADE poem
This week I'm at an ADE conference in Singapore. During the conference I started writing a poem as one of our activities. I decided that I would ask 5AB to help on the Monday morning. Matthew and Ella were very helpful and recorded their voices for my poem. A BIG thanks to them. Here is the final version. There is an extra bonus film further below.
The team I was in also created this video about digital portfolios.

Fill your next family reunion with one or more presentations to mark those who've passed on, happy memories or family milestones. Presentations can take different forms. Whether you choose to have a few speakers present their memories of special moments or you create a more formal presentation may depend upon your reunion's venue. An indoor reunion will allow for presentations like Power Point or videos, while an outdoor venue may limit you to methods that don't require a power source.
Presentations for Family Reunions
Picture Video
If your family reunion is indoors, you may want to set up a television or a projector screen and show a picture video. Videos can be created on just about any computer with programs like Roxio and Microsoft Movie Maker. Movie Maker may already be installed on your computer. With these simple programs, you input the photographs and video clips you want to include, arrange them in the order you'd like, add text and music and save it all into a video format that plays with a simple click of a button.
Power Point Presentation
A Power Point presentation is also good for an indoor family reunion, but works more like a slide show. You can also add slides with text or quotes from family members as well as photographs. Someone will need to start the slideshow and click through the different slides, especially if there will be a speaker explaining the different pictures.
Display Table
Display tables work well at both outdoor and indoor reunions. A display table might hold family photo albums and mementos of different family members. Still have Cousin Fred's baseball from the winning championship game in 1949? Go ahead and put it on display along with a card explaining how he hit the final home run. The best way to set up a display is to ask each branch of the family if there is anything they'd like to include. For particularly large families, you may need to choose a theme, like first birthdays, those who've passed on, or funniest moments.
Oral presentations can create a lot of interest. Plan ahead and ask a few people to stand up and share a special memory about someone else in the family. Once the volunteers have shared, invite others to come up and say what they'd like. The volunteers will get things started, but others will likely stand up and share special memories and funny stories. If the family reunion falls near a birthday, you could focus all the speeches around that person's birthday. Another option is to choose the oldest and youngest family members and have others say a few words about them.
Does your family have a special moment or funny memory that people talk about every time you get together? Why not reenact it? Choose a few family members who are known hams and explain that you want them to reenact the moment and to really play it up. Everyone is certain to laugh and remember the reunion for years to come.

Clarence Mondale, who pushed the Columbian College to diversify programming during his three decades at GW, died in his home on May 2. He was 87.
Mondale, who many called Pete, taught American civilization classes at GW from 1965 until his retirement in 1992, the Washington Post reported. During that time, he spent eight years directing GW's former division of experimental programs and focused on spearheading projects to combat poverty and support the less fortunate.
He led a Peace Corps training program in his early years at GW, as well as a march to address issues concerning poverty. The group, called "Poor People's University," was part of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's "Poor People's Campaign" and supported issues concerning the nation's poverty, according to the Washington Post.
Mondale also co-authored a book published in 1988 with American studies scholar Michael Steiner, which was titled "Region and Regionalism in the United States: A Source Book for the Humanities and Social Sciences."
Mondale was born in St. James, Minn. in 1927. He received a bachelor's degree from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn. Before receiving his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Minnesota, he served in the Navy during World War II.
Philip Wirtz, vice dean of programs and education at the School of Business, said Mondale will be remembered for his ability to take risks and advocate for new experimental initiatives and administrative models.
"Although there are only a few of us at GW who are sufficiently 'long in the tooth' to remember the specifics of Pete Mondale's contribution, his GW legacy will last for many, many years to come," Wirtz said.
Mondale is survived by his wife of 63 years, Virginia Aceto Mondale, his seven children and his younger brother Walter, who served as Jimmy Carter's vice president and lost to Ronald Reagan in the 1984 presidential election.

text: In recent decades libraries have been challenged in many ways, perhaps most pointedly by the digital revolution. This is, however, not the first time – a series of booms in library architecture emerging rather when knowledge ideals are chal- lenged than established allows us to discuss library architecture more clearly as investigations into what knowledge, learning and literature could be rather than as expressions of what knowledge, learning and literature is. These questions are complex and multifaceted and require both careful examination of architectural proposals and works and a step back to analyse the propositions they make through their formulations into architectural form. Utilizing four public library extensions in Sweden, of which three have been built and one has been rebooted, and competition and parallel commission proposals for their making, this article discusses how ideas of libraries, knowledge, and literature emerge through the mediation of programme, collections, activity, and visitors in interaction, related to other aspects of architectural form. Building on a series of empirical findings of correspondences between use patterns of libraries and spatial configuration, the article takes this discussion further into what this means for a discussion of architectural principles, ideals, and propositions.

For years now Apple has kept adding new security mitigations to iOS and iOS devices that put them often ahead of their competition. Naturally attackers had to adopt their techniques to break into these new versions of iOS with every new protection. Because of this these techniques have been usually kept private.
In this session the audience will be introduced to a set of iOS kernel exploitation techniques that have been used in private jailbreaks for a while now and only recently have been revealed to the public by a partial iOS 10.2 jailbreak that has been uploaded to GitHub. This session will give a complete walk through of the original techniques and explain how exactly they were intended to be used.

Director of CY Medical Spa,L Master Aesthetician II and Certified Laser Technician
Katherine graduated from Bellus Academy in San Diego and has a duel aesthetician license for the state of California and Indiana. She grew to love the aesthetic world, due to her own personal journey. Please see her personal journey below on her weight loss and love for aesthetics.
Katherine's expertise within the industry includes skin care, laser treatments, and Botox and filler consultations. She is the Center Yourself's trainer for all new
Katherine has a passion for skin care and is dedicated to educate and inspire men and women to improve their skin's health and beauty from within and to look and feel their best.
Katherine enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, boating, cooking and living life to the fullest.
From the Desk of Katherine:
"I would like to share my personal story with you which ignited my passion for aesthetics.
I am a mother, a wife, a daughter. I am motivated to touch as many lives as I possibly can. My story is personable, humble and worth sharing.
My young adult life encompassed raising children in an ever changing military setting. Packing and moving was the norm and so was the feeling of complacency and unrest. I felt lost in it all. My only motivation was the love I had for my boys and for my family, miles away. I did not like who I became and I did not like the reflection staring back at me, for it was a person I barely knew.
As I look back now, my weight escalated at the same pace as my emotional dependence. The need to become healthy was critical. I began surrounding myself with only things that were positive and the people that knew I was struggling. I began to physically challenge myself and set small goals of weight loss. The routine of working out at the same time every morning became my emotional and physical lifeline. Small steps became big steps and my transformation was underway. Losing over 140 pounds changed the way I saw things, the way I know look at things.
Unfortunately, the world we live in discriminates against those who struggle with weight loss. It has been a process to dismiss the feeling of social rejection. Aesthetics empowered me. Aesthetics gave me a voice and a platform to speak, touch, learn and share. Aesthetics has become my gift to give. The very industry that helped me through all of the reconstructive procedures, aiding in dramatic weight loss, has also become my passion as a career. I am proud to say that I am healthier now than ever. I'm emotionally stronger and motivated to support those in need. Ask me about my weight loss journey."

Delran, NJ (August 24, 2015) – Sustainable Jersey for Schools representatives announced today that Delran Township Public Schools has been awarded a Sustainable Jersey for Schools Small Grant. Delran is one of twenty-nine schools and school districts in New Jersey to receive a Sustainable Jersey for Schools Small Grant at the $4,000 level for this funding cycle. The Sustainable Jersey for Schools Small Grants program, funded by the New Jersey Department of Health, is providing $116,000 in grants to districts and schools.
The project allocates funding to educate students, staff members and the Delran community on the importance of physical activity, the realities of childhood obesity as well as the needs of all special education children in the community. The grant funding will allow the district to secure informative pep rallies for the community, help support staff member, student and community wellness and develop and execute a community assessment to help drive the direction of the wellness initiative in Delran. Additionally, the messages in the wellness campaign will allow Delran Township Public Schools to generate awareness for Jake Place Too, an initiative to support inclusive play areas for residents with disabilities tentatively planned for the Delran Community Park pending funding.
Currently, 95 districts and 269 schools have registered to work toward Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification. "These grants will support districts and schools that are registered with Sustainable Jersey for Schools as they tackle important health and wellness actions," said Donna Drewes, who co-directs Sustainable Jersey with Randall Solomon. "This grant funding from the New Jersey Department of Health is especially important in this inaugural year of the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program as schools work to become certified for the first time."
The New Jersey Department of Health is funding the grants through its Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant. Technical assistance to grant recipients will be provided by three of the Department of Health's regional partners: AtlantiCare (south), EmPoWER Somerset (central) and The Center for Prevention and Counseling (north).

Pax Christi International calls for the Zero Draft on a legally binding instrument on business and human rights to be strengthened
4/3/19 - The Open-ended intergovernmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights (intergovernmental working group) had been mandated in 2011 by the Human Rights Council in Geneva "to elaborate an international legally binding instrument on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights." They started a broad, inclusive and participatory process of consultations with member states and civil society through different sessions at the UN in Geneva in which several of our members and partners of our Pax Christi International working group on extractives and Latin America have participated.
In the first and second sessions of the intergovernmental working group (2015 and 2016), exchanges were held by members states with input of other stakeholders on the content, scope, nature and form of the future international treaty. During the third session (2017), the intergovernmental working group discussed elements for a draft of a legally binding instrument prepared by the Chairperson-Rapporteur. Based on these previous sessions, as well as a series of open informal consultations held in 2018, the Permanent Mission of Ecuador prepared a zero draft legally binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterprises, as well as a zero draft optional protocol instrument, which were both discussed during the more recent fourth session (October 2018).
Following a call for submissions by the intergovernmental working group in preparation of the next session for negotiations, Pax Christi International has provided a submission for giving input on last year's Zero Draft and has supported a submission by the NGO Mining Working Group at the UN in New York, of which it is a member. In the documents we ask for a strengthening of the next version of the treaty text to stop the impunity of human rights abuses by both transnational and national companies, for victims to have access to justice (including the most vulnerable ones), for human rights and environmental defenders and their protection to be included, and for civil society to have sufficient spaces to bring in information on the implementation of the treaty.

The term "designer baby" used to be found only in weblogs and sci-fi movies. But in 2004 the term made its way to the Oxford English Dictionary. The dictionary defines it as "a baby whose genetic makeup has been artificially selected by genetic engineering combined with in vitro fertilization to ensure the presence or absence of particular genes or characteristics." From fiction to non-fiction Imagine a number of couples in a waiting room, all excitedly looking through a variety of catalogs. But…

Lane follows Brown and promises no return to boom and bust
Headline growth of close to 8% last year is not a stable level of growth
Irish Central Bank governor Philip Lane at the IMF spring meeting in Washington. Photograph: Reuters/Yuri Gripas
Central Bank governor Philip Lane's confident assertion that the Irish economy has been reoriented in such a way as to avoid the boom-bust of the past is reminiscent of Gordon Brown's now infamous mantra.
Brown spent much of the Noughties as UK chancellor assuring the British public that his prudent management of the economy would ensure there would be no return to "boom and bust" economics. That was until the mother of busts blew up in his face and swept him and his party out of office.
Taking part in a panel discussion entitled Booms and Busts: Are We Better Able to Deal with Them Today? at the IMF spring meetings in Washington on Saturday, Lane said the Irish economy was better placed to withstand a recession this time around because of the higher levels of equity being used to finance investment.
"It's very important to recognise that there are different categories of boom and bust cycles. What happened in Ireland and Spain was a classic plain vanilla real estate boom-bust cycle," he said.
Lane noted that this time around the Irish economy had been recalibrated away from construction to exports and other activities, ensuring there was now more equity in the system than during the previous boom-bust cycle.
And technically he's right. We don't have the same concentration of economic activity around construction, even if the housing crisis is keeping a new generation of young people out of the market, nor the same credit-fuelled bubble underpinning it.
But with headline growth running at close to 8 per cent for last year and house prices advancing annually by 13 per cent, it's hard not to conclude we're in the grip of a dynamic that nobody quite has a handle on. This is not a stable level of growth.
For the European Central Bank, the definition of stability is a growth rate of 2 per cent. That's not something that's mentioned regularly here.

text: Let's take a minute to remember singer-songwriter Fred Neil, who was born on this day in 1936. He is best known for writing the song "Everybody's Talkin'" which Nilsson turned into a big hit in 1969 – a brilliant piece of songwriting in and of itself – but Neil's influence among singer-songwriters in the 1960s went way beyond that. He started off as a Brill Building songwriter in the late Fifties, penning hits for Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison, and by the early Sixties he was playing folk in Greenwich Village clubs and mentoring young folkies like Bob Dylan and David Crosby among others along the way. But Neil hated the music business and hated touring, and he pretty much packed it in by 1971, devoting his life to the preservation of dolphins in his native Florida up until his death in 2001. In any case he surely had one of the greatest voices of the 20th century, so deep and sonorous on this bluesy number it gives me goosebumps every time. Rest in peace you old warrior.

An Article on Mother Teresa
I just finished reading a very interesting article on Mother Teresa. I was aware that Mother Teresa lived through a very dark night in her spiritual life, but recently revealled correspondence between her and her spiritual directors showed just how great the night was. To the article's credit, it does mention John of the Cross' spiritual doctrine, if only in passing. Just as much–or more–time is devoted towards sources which mock modern day theists because some of their greatest saints had unbelievable doubts, often about whether or not God existed.
I find such opinions to be interesting, for they show an ignorance of Christianity and its history. The early Church worshipped its monks and ascetics who gave up worldly goods and sought purification through mortification. The Church of the middle ages claimed saints that voluntarily begged for their food and owned nothing. John of the Cross speaks about the purifying role that suffering plays in a person's spiritual growth. In all centuries, we honor our martyrs, who gave their lives–often joyfully–for the sake of the Church. And today, Mother Teresa and her Missionaries give up wordly possessions to help the poorest of the poor. Other saints–St. Francis and St. Therese of Lisieux, for instance–suffering periods of doubt, feeling as if God wasn't nearby.
Maybe it's just me, but I have come to expect that behind the great saints exists a suffering soul: the greater the saint, the greater the suffering. We suffer so as to emulate our Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered and died out of love for us. The saints follow Christ, purifying themselves of a love for all earthly things in order to prepare their hearts for the only Good that can satisfy.
So why is the modern mind so shocked by Mother Teresa's intense doubts and sufferings? Why do the atheists quoted in the article foam at the mouth, saying that Mother Teresa demonstrates that if the greatest saints cannot believe, then no one can believe (of course, maybe its a rhetorical question to ask why a Hitchens would foam at the mouth, since such things come standard with the militant atheists.) Let me just guarantee my readers: the path to holiness has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the modern human mind which rejects Christ and His Church. Our saints have suffered, do suffer, and will evermore suffer until the end of days. In fact, lesser Christians such as myself wish that God would grant them the grace to accept greater sufferings while simultaneously realizing that they are too weak to handle such trials.
Mother Teresa's suffering comes as a surprise only to those people who think Christians choose faith to make life easier, or to get a quick emotional high, to those who know not the basic claim of Christianity that salvation comes through the narrow way, the way of the Cross. Mother Teresa is a saint not only for her exceptional work among the poor, but because she persisted in faith even through her trials. She is exceptional because she had faith and walked confidently through her darkness, hoped through her own dispair, and loved though she felt not loved.

[…] Benedica a Cruce I just wrote a post about Mother Teresa, an article which pointed out the importance that suffering plays in the Christian life. […]

After reviewing the secular article re Mother Teresa, I came to realize that the woman had a greater faith than what I already thought she had. I am profoundly humbled by this woman.

When "I" is Replaced by "We" even "Illness" Becomes "Wellness"/
It's an interesting thing. The more days pass and life goes on, the more I realize that we shouldn't have to do anything alone. In fact, we literally need each other as support in all aspects of our lives. Sometimes our inner critic pops in and makes us feel like we have to do things alone or risk becoming vulnerable. But that's just it — we are all in this crazy thing called life together.
I believe that the more we can think about wellness in terms of "we" then we can find our individual place in life. We're all here together, each playing our unique part. Coming together is wellness. Doing it on our own sometimes can drive us to illness.
What do you think?

Erin Moran's husband reveals tragic details of her cancer and final months
The husband of late Happy Days star Erin Moran, Steve Fleischmann, has broken his silence on his wife's passing, posting an open letter to her co-star Scott Baio's Facebook page.
Fleischmann goes into personal details about Moran's cancer, which progressed quickly through her body without the couple's knowledge. While there was some speculation that Moran's past use of drugs or alcohol was the cause of her death on Saturday, the Harrison County Sheriff's Office (in conjunction with the coroner) confirmed that she died from complications of Stage 4 cancer.
Fleischmann and Moran, 56, had just returned from celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary in November 2016 when she first started experiencing unexplained symptoms. She would wake up in the morning and there would be small dime-sized blood stains on her pillow. After multiple days of more and more blood, the pair went to the doctor for a biopsy.
READ MORE: Scott Baio clarifies his remarks that Erin Moran died from 'drugs or drink'
What they initially thought was tonsillitis ended up being diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a rather common form of cancer. According to Fleischmann, she immediately started on a five-days-a-week radiation-and-chemotherapy plan at the Norton Cancer Institute, but continued to deteriorate.
By the middle of February, "It got so bad so fast … Erin could no longer speak or eat or drink."
The day before her death, Fleischmann says she was having difficulty breathing, and on the day of her passing she "was not 100%." Moran died shortly afterwards, holding his hand.
"I laid down next to her held her right hand in my left," wrote Fleischmann. "I feel [sic] asleep woke up about a hour later still holding her hand and she was gone, she was just gone…"
It was only after the coroner's report that Fleischmann realized to what extent the cancer had spread throughout Moran's body.
"The coroner told me it was really really bad," he wrote. "It had spread to her spleen, she had alot [sic] of fluid in her lungs and part of her brain was infected. The coroner said even if she was in the hospital being pumped full of antibiotics she still would not of [sic] made it. He said it was the best that she was with me and went in her sleep."
(The Facebook post is not public, and isn't embeddable. Here is a screenshot of the letter in its entirety.)
Moran's co-star, Baio, clarified earlier comments he made about her death, saying he was given the wrong information.
On Monday, Baio was interviewed on radio program The Bernie & Sid Show, and he insinuated Moran's death was the result of drinking and drug abuse. He claims he went to bed reading a report that Moran had died of a heroin overdose (he didn't disclose where he read it), and proceeded to go on the radio show the next morning without reading any updated news. The interview took place hours before the sheriff's department released their cancer statement.

"I'm OK, a little shocked … but not completely shocked that this happened," he said on the radio show. "My thing is, I feel bad because her whole life, she was troubled, could never find what made her happy and content. For me, you do drugs or drink, you're gonna die. I'm sorry if that's cold, but God gave you a brain, gave you the will to live and thrive, and you gotta take care of yourself."
He has since posted his own statement to his Facebook page, defending his words and relationship with Moran.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a form of skin cancer that develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layer of the skin. Typically, it isn't life-threatening, but it can be aggressive. Without treatment, it can grow large and even spread to other parts of the body, triggering serious complications, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Canadian Cancer Society says that SCC is a non-melanoma skin cancer, one of the most common cancers diagnosed in the country. Patients with SCC are categorized at "high risk" if they have it on their ears, lips or scalp, if it's growing quickly, has come back after treatment, or if the cancer has grown into or around nerves, the national non-profit says.
READ MORE: Madonna biopic 'Blond Ambition' in the works
Most SCC cases are the result of too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, either through direct sunlight or from tanning beds. There are treatment options: surgery, such as excision, or using extreme cold to freeze and destroy tissues. Radiation therapy or medication can also be effective.
Moran played the same character in the early '80s sitcom Joanie Loves Chachi, a short-lived spinoff with Happy Days co-star Baio. In 2012, Moran was one of the Happy Days actors who won money in a merchandising payment lawsuit against CBS.
Her more recent credits included The Love Boat and Murder, She Wrote, but she never approached the success of Happy Days and was more often in the news for her numerous personal and financial struggles. Some reports say she was occasionally homeless.
She and Fleischmann had no children, and as of this writing, no funeral plans have been announced.

Kids gifts – houses to hide
A retreat is generally important for children. An imaginatively designed Playhouse suitable for it. It invites you to hide, play and read. Such houses are available in a wide variety of styles. Knight's Castle, Princess Castle or rustic dwarf cave. Models are available suitable for every taste and interest.
Endless time fun
Almost every child developed a natural interest in painting. At the beginning of artistic development, the painting of prescribed forms and figures is usually great fun the smallest. Giant time postersare a challenge. You show a great adventure landscape with lots of details, which is to discover and to paint.
Exceptional sleeping places
If it may be a bigger gift, a unique bed could be a solution. Girls enjoy, for example, beds in the form of attractive fairy tale Castle boys rather about vehicle imitations or ships. In addition to finished kits can build these beds even technically skilled and to find complete plans on the Internet.

Kids gifts – Zorbing wheels
Zorbing for years has belonged to the most popular outdoor sports at all. In an oversized plastic ball, it slopes down rolled or running movements crossing various surfaces. For children, the so called Zorbing-wheel is the less extreme alternative. In contrast to the classical Zorbing, these wheels are open, what an children extra safety is.

Now remote solar systemsare offered to the exploration of outer space, which is mounted on the ceiling of the nursery can be and are illuminated. Projectors, projecting the sky tent on walls and ceilings are no less exciting. However, the high-quality home Planetarium is not cheap. You should calculate over 100 euros. An illuminated solar system is less available.
Finally another tip for packing: kids love creative gift packaging and unpacking is then doubly fun. Therefore it is worth to pay increased attention to the packaging also. For small packets, the DIY inspiration Kids Club has a perfect idea:

Weymouth and Portland – A Destination for Marine Excellence
Today, 7 January 2011, the London Boat Show provided the ideal location for respected speakers to provide an education on new developments in big boat racing and cruising opportunities in Weymouth and Portland. The press were invited to a Q&A session with key speakers Simon Williams, General Manager of Regeneration and Sustainability at the Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, John Tweed, Chief Executive at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) and Charlie Walker, Managing Director of the Round Britain and Ireland Challenge and Vendée Globe Sailor Steve White. A number of private and public sector agencies in Dorset are working together to provide the best quality marine leisure opportunities for the UK and visitors from overseas and these speakers talked through what they have achieved and what they are planning long term to ensure Weymouth and Portland continues to attract interest from the marine sector globally.
With the hosting of the sailing events for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Weymouth and Portland is progressively establishing itself as a Destination for Marine Excellence in the South West. The sailing events for the 2012 Games are allied to the marine enterprise expansion through significant investment at Osprey Quay and local infrastructure development have put Weymouth and Portland firmly on the international map for marine events and activities, but the session looked at how Weymouth and Portland can create a legacy beyond 2012.
"The Games is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Weymouth and Portland but the long term opportunities it provides to promote the World Heritage Coast as the perfect cruising and racing venue which sailors have been enjoying for generations is priceless," added Simon Williams, General Manager of Regeneration and Sustainability at the Weymouth and Portland Borough Council. "The World Heritage Coast of Dorset is the ultimate iconic backdrop for both racing and cruising and is ideal if you are local to the UK or from further afar. The berthing and marine facilities are of a superb quality with direct access to Weymouth Bay and the more challenging elements of the English Channel."
The Academy has already hosted many big boat events including the Farr 45 National Championships for consecutive years and they are officially the location for the Artemis Offshore Academy which uses the WPNSA facilities for their UK excellence training programme. Starting this February they will also have the Round Britain and Ireland Challenge Series using the venue as a base for training and then racing from April onwards, including events for the very popular J109 and Sigma 38 classes.
The multi-purpose venue provides the perfect amenities to host such events as it has direct access to the deep waters of Weymouth Bay and into the English Channel within minutes of leaving the sheltered new 125 berth mini marina that is part of the state of the art 2012 sailing venue facilities. Steve White, Vendée Globe Sailor, comments on why he keeps his Open 60 in Portland Marina adjacent to the Academy, "I'm within minutes of open water in the harbour and 15 minutes from the English Channel which makes it excellent for big boats that need a lot of water. For me it's a no brainer."
On top of the fantastic infrastructure there are new hotels and other developments taking place and the Academy is now ready to host some very major events. Their facilities, together with those of the Portland Marina, give the opportunity to host fantastic sailing events for the larger boats in an ideal sailing environment.
The new partnership between the Academy and the Round Britain and Ireland Challenge is a very positive step for Weymouth and Portland and is an example of the bigger boat events now discovering the benefits of the area. When asked why the WPNSA was the choice venue, Charlie Walker, Managing Director at the Round the Britain and Ireland Series, replied, "We have partnered with the WPNSA as it places us at the heart of the sailing world in the run up to 2012, our customers will benefit from the use of the award winning world class facilities. We will be running all training from the Academy starting in February as well as it being the start and finish venue for all Challenges."
One of the benefits will be the fleet of Dehler Varianta 44s which have been designed and built for this particular challenge with the view to long term charter work in Weymouth Bay. John Tweed, Chief Executive at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, highlighted another advantage, "Sailors and non sailors alike can take part in a leg of the RBIC which parallels nicely with the Academy's totally inclusive approach to sailing so that if you are a person new to sailing, venturing on the water for the first time, up to an Olympic or budding round the World sailor, this is the venue for you."

With Fall finally here so are the pumpkins and other harvest related decor. With this being my favorite time of year I try and find ways to change up the average carved pumpkin. Every year I purchase a Martha Stewart magazine and attempt to recreate some of the ideas she has dreamed up. Here are a few creative ways to decorate your table and your yard with some fabulously dressed up pumpkins. Check out more ideas here: http://www.marthastewart.com
Another popular trend is cloth pumpkins that come in array of colors and sizes. I have been a big fan of the velvet pumpkins made by an artist out of Oregon and have been adding to my collection for a couple of years now. They are gorgeous and make a great addition to your table arrangement from October through Thanksgiving. A wonderful shop in Chico, CA called Frolic carries them. You can find them at 8th & Main Antique Center on the corner of Main and 8th Street. Here is a link to her FaceBook page to view some of the many treasures she has. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Frolic/138951309464519?ref=ts&fref=ts
Happy Fall and I hope you enjoy the many changing colors that this season brings!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In a state that trails the nation in many areas, Alabama's three top elected officials are embroiled in scandal or facing removal from office.
Chief Justice Roy Moore was suspended Friday and faces possible ouster over his attempts to block gay marriage following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. It's familiar territory for the Republican Moore, a Christian conservative who was previously removed from the same position in 2003 over a Ten Commandments monument and easily won re-election later.
Meanwhile, fellow Republicans tried to remove Gov. Robert Bentley by impeachment over a sexually charged scandal involving a top political aide. At the same time, GOP House Speaker Mike Hubbard awaits a state trial on 23 felony ethics charges that could result in his removal.
In its list of civil charges against Moore, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission said the 69-year-old chief justice abused his office by issuing an administrative order to probate judges in January telling them an Alabama court order and law banning same-sex marriages remained in effect despite the U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming same-sex marriage six months earlier. Most counties issued same-sex licenses anyway.
In a statement after his suspension, Moore said the commission doesn't have the authority to police the order he issued.
The Court of the Judiciary will decide whether Moore violated judicial ethics, and he could be removed from office if found guilty.

text: The Kimono! such a nice dress! but so rare to find in the districts of the ever-changing Metropolis of Tokyo! I was out during all the period of my stay in Japan and I barely saw a few! It wasn't until I asked my new friends Ayaka and Misa, both of which I met in Disney land, that It all started making sense! Actually, the public wearing of kimono is indeed withering. Nevertheless, this dress code still maintains its prestige within the culture! It is worn on special occasions and celebrations! Now that I recall, one of the Keio University students showed me a picture of herself wearing an aesthetically adorned kimono during her birthday. The people that were wearing the Kimono were mainly old women; that said, there are exceptions. I encountered some young women wearing it publicly. The women who organized the tea ceremony, for instance, were constantly wearing the kimono. The reason why working women opt for formal clothing is because it seems to be more practical within the work field! In my country of origin, the exact same thing is happening. A traditional dress called "Djellaba" is being replaced by casual dress as women are getting into the work field.

Kerala CM Says BJP Trying To Break Secularism In State, Compares Amit Shah To A 'wet Cracker'
Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday compared BJP president Amit Shah and the RSS to a "wet cracker." It comes after Shah accused Vijayan of being directly responsible for killing of party and RSS workers in the state.
Vijayan stated that the ruling national party is trying to break the state's secularism. "Amit Shah came and became like wet cracker here. The BJP is trying to break secularism with the power.
"The BJP now shows the intolerance towards Kerala. Kerala does not have to learn any lesson on peace from you. The leaders also involved in the killing are carried out by RSS activists," he added.
Vijayan also warned the BJP Chief that the state will not be scared by the RSS and BJP. "We will not be scared away by the weapons and wealth you have collected. Nobody should think that you can scare us away. If you are thinking you can make something by bringing up the old RSS leaders from center and other states, nothing will be happening here," he said.
He also took a dig at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, pointing towards the infant mortality rate of Kerala. "Yogi's statement can only make us feel pity.The infant mortality rate of Kerala has been reduced from 12 percent to 10 percent," said Kerala Chief Minister. He also said that Kerala does not have anything to learn from a party, which considers Nathuram Godse to be "God".

When TV entered India, it was very social. As very few households owned a TV set, it was common for all the neighbours to gather up in one home to catch a movie. But now, the television is getting personal. Just another result of the rise of individualism, maybe. The internet connectivity is improving, and now there are a number of excellent content streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. So people are no longer restricted to watching the shows being aired on TV. Using these services, people can watch what they want to watch, when they want to watch.
As our TV viewing habits change, our televisions are changing too. While once we had bulky television sets packed in wooden cabinets to keep them safe, we now have unbelievably thin smart televisions getting flaunted on walls.
A range of such super slim television sets was recently launched by LG. The TV models in this latest range include W7 (77/65), G7 (77), E7 (65/55), C7 (65/55) and B7 (65/55) and are priced between 3.25 lacks to 30 lacks. Out of these, Signature W7 is the flagship model. It is slimmer than my finger and gets plastered on a wall like a wallpaper!
Let's see the highlights of LG 2017 OLED TV lineup:
The Display:
The new LG OLED televisions ensure bright and crisp picture quality thanks to the combination of several technologies. They have self-lighting pixels that minimize the leaking of light and provide crisper contrasts. The picture quality is further enhanced by the Active HDR feature which allows LG TVs to process the picture frame by frame, offering better picture quality even if the original HDR content contains static or no metadata at all. All of LG's 2017 OLED TVs support the full palette of HDR formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). They also have a new HDR Effect feature which can process standard definition content frame-by-frame to improve brightness and contrast and deliver better images.
Dolby Atmos:
To complement the incredible picture quality, LG has equipped the latest lineup of OLED TV with Dolby Atmos sound. Dolby Atmos delivers moving audio, that is, it produces sound that can be placed and moved anywhere in three-dimensional space. This is the same technology that is now being used in more and more cinema halls in India. It creates a more immersive sound experience, thereby enhancing the pleasure of watching a movie or TV show and giving a more movie hall like feel.
The LG Signature W7 model comes with a sound bar for more powerful sound output.
While the hardware specifications in the various models of the recently launched LG OLED TV range may vary, they all have the smartness of the webOS. Smart televisions have a way of becoming too complicated. But simplicity of use is the highlight of the webOS. I tried it myself and found it very intuitive and simple. Just pressing the Home Key on remote opens up the interface and then you just need to point the remote and select the media source you want to view. You can also easily set up hotkeys as remote shortcuts for your favourites.
The Magic Remote
The Magic Remote of these smart televisions is quite smart too. It has dedicated keys for Netflix and Amazon Prime. The remote allows your to setup hotkeys for your favourite content and has a shortcut to let you quickly browse through the recently viewed content. You can also view 360 degree images or scroll through your apps by just moving the remote. It functions much like a wireless mouse and is very easy to use. The TV responds to its motions quickly and accurately.
Being smart televisions, these OLED TVs have several smart features. Here are some that I noted:
- While viewing, you can use the Magic Remote to zoom up on a particular area of the display and watch it in close up.
- You can view any of your photos with 360 degree effect, moving around in them by moving the Magic Remote.
- It has split screen capability, so you can watch two visuals simultaneously. For example, check your connected CCTV camera while watching a match.
Overall, LG's latest OLED TV range is well equipped to provide a thrilling and immersive TV viewing experience. The picture quality is bright and crisp with more natural colours and crisper contrasts. Combined with the excellent sound of Dolby Atmos, these televisions sets can deliver a movie hall like experience. And they look great too. The flagship model W7 is just 2.57 mm thick. As it has no box like thing bulging out from its back, it clings to the wall like a wallpaper, and looks amazing.
If you are looking for high quality OLED smart televisions that are easy to use, then the 2017 lineup of LG OLED TVs is worth checking out.

Homework Guidelines: How To Become A Successful Student
Going to school can be tough. Whether it's high school, college or university, there's a lot of homework some weeks that will cut into your other activities. This is especially hard if you have a part time job or a sport outside of class times. No matter what your schedule looks like, there are tips you can use for becoming a better student. Farther down in this article we're going to talk about how you can be successful despite your busy lifestyle.
Making homework a priority
There are lots of things we wish we had more time to do. No matter what it is, if you don't make time for it then it isn't going to happen. Wanting to be a better student is a great goal but you need to make the goal more specific than that. Follow these steps for improving your studies and writing homework:
- Look at the other things you have to do. If any of your activities such as a job or sports practice are at a certain time and unchangeable, then make sure to do your homework on other days to make up for it.
- How much homework do you have? This is something you'll need to assess on a weekly basis because it will change closer to midterms or the end of the year.
- Which assignments are worth the most percentage of your grade? these are the ones you should spend most of your time on. The lesser important ones can be rushed through if needed, but make sure you give the big projects the work and attention to get a good grade.
- You might have to postpone some time with friends, going on a date, or other things that can be pushed to a different day if needed. Making time for homework can involve a temporary sacrifice of some things, including hobbies.
What does a successful student look like?
Each person will have a different idea of what success is. If you still live with your parents, do they have a certain expectation of you? If not, what is your expectation of yourself? Do you need a particular grade in order to get the job you want? Make sure to think about why you're taking these classes and what you want to get out of them. Being successful is sometimes more than just passing your class.
