Judging by the number of ballots returned so far and an expected voter turnout for today's General Election of 75 percent or better, our annual election day reminder to vote won't be necessary for most.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, the Washington Secretary of State's office reported more than 40 percent of the state's 4.3 million voters — 1.74 million — had returned ballots. For Snohomish County, where 457,695 received ballots, nearly 150,000 had been submitted, nearly 33 percent.
If voter turnout reaches 75 percent or more, those numbers would top results for the 2014 midterm where 54 percent voted statewide and 2010 when 71 percent voted and would near turnout in presidential election years, such as 2016's nearly 79 percent.
There is plenty of credit to go around for generating interest and participation in this year's election, including what even President Trump has described as a referendum on his first two years in office. But along with legislative races and higher profile races for the U.S. House and Senate, Washington state voters also are determining the fate of several initiatives, two of which have generated record or near-record levels of fundraising that has made those issues nearly inescapable.
Nor has it hurt that ballots this year don't need a postage stamp to be dropped in the mail. If it's shown more voters submitted their ballots by mail in this election, rather than ballot drop box, the Legislature will need to consider changes that would make the postage-free ballots permanent and ease the mandate on counties to provide and maintain the drop boxes.
And in the background, the efforts of the lawmakers and the Secretary of State's office in recent years to encourage and make voter registration easier have helped increase the state's voter rolls by more than 315,000.
The number of Washington registered voters reached 4 million in 2016 and 4,315,594 for today's election.
For those whose ballots are marked, sealed and in the mail or drop-box, wear your "I voted" sticker with pride or go ahead and brag on Facebook. You've earned it.
For those who haven't, you have until 8 tonight to vote and return your ballot.
And those who still are weighing candidates and ballot measures, below are some resources to help inform your decisions:
The Washington Secretary of State's office offers a service to registered voters to check their voter registration details, recent elections they've participated in, who their elected officials are, a sample ballot, a link to the state voters' guide, drop box and voting center locations and a way to check to see if your ballot as been accepted by the county auditor's office. Go to tinyurl.com/MyVoteWA.
Snohomish County voters can consult the Snohomish County Elections office for instructions on voting, links to the voters' guide, a list of ballot box locations and more information at tinyurl.com/SnoCoElex2018. For a direct link to a list of ballot boxes, go to tinyurl.com/SnoCoBallotBoxList.
BallotPedia, an online compendium of election and political information, supported by the nonpartisan and nonprofit Lucy Burns Institute, offers links to candidate and ballot measure information at tinyurl.com/BallotPedia2018.
And to review The Herald Editorial Board's recommendations for the election go to tinyurl.com/HeraldEndorses2018.
And, once you've voted, check back at www.HeraldNet.com tonight for the latest election returns and election news for local, state and federal races.

Okay I have been so busy, but isn't everyone. I have had quite a lot of orders from the holiday shoppers. I am finally caught up. I have been doing lots of cheerleading and I even made some bows for another cheerleading team where my daughter does gymnastics. This picture of my mom, sister, and my daughter is from last Sunday's competition where our girls won first place. I was beyond thrilled for them. It was a tough competition, but Yeah for the Lindenboro Chargers. We have our last competition for the season this coming Sunday. It is going to be a crazy week. We are hosting and there is lots of work to be done. I will be closing my etsy store and my website on December 12th until the first of the year. We are going to Disney and to visit our family for Christmas. We are beyond excited. Oh we saw Enchanted last night, it was such a cute movie. Disney has such a wonderful way of expressing that dreams do come true.

Drug delivery is evolving to enhance medicine efficacy and patient compliance in our increasingly digital world.
Signed, sealed, delivered
Within the area of pharmaceutical drug breakthroughs, we have witnessed a lot of news, such as big blockbuster drugs hitting (and running away with) the market, controversies over side effects and targeting new diseases, to name but a few. However, more and more, we are seeing a rise in the level of interest and the development of drug delivery techniques. Not only do therapies need to be effective and clinically safe, but now we are also expecting a degree of specificity in how those drugs are delivered.
There has been a wave of recent news items describing delivery methods to transverse the blood–brain barrier. Researchers at Johns Hopkins have unveiled a modification to a drug structure to allow it to cross the protective barrier to the brain and thus target cancers more easily avoiding the usual issues of mass toxicity to healthy cells. Additionally, a Swedish study is underway to examine a drug delivery system that directly accesses the brain for the treatment of Parkinson's patients.
Then there are the new ways in which drugs are encapsulated to ensure they are released over a longer period of time or are released at a targeted location. Self-administration techniques are also of importance as this frees up patients to be more independent from a clinic or GPs office.
Adding to these considerations, is the complication of modern technological devices and the role they play in patient compliance and monitoring of outcomes. What role can/should these devices play? How can they be incorporated into the developmental procedure?
The long and short of it is, making medicines more effective is of high priority. As drug formulations continue to evolve so must the delivery methods. Ensuring that patient compliance and adherence to their therapeutic schedules are maintained will improve real-world outcomes and with the digital revolution well under way (over half of the world's population now using smartphones) this seems a logical route to explore.

For checked exceptions from which the bean cannot recover, throw an EJBException that wraps the original exception.
A Java Persistence application wants to use optimistic locking. Which statement that describes the functionality of optimistic locking is correct?
Optimistic locking ensures that updates or deletes are consistent with the current state of the database and that intervening updates are not lost.
A Reader entity has a one-to-many, bidirectional relationship with a Book entity. Two Reader entities are persisted, each having two Book entities associated with them.

TIFF 2015 Review: Eva Doesn't Sleep
A combination of fact and fiction, director Pablo Agüero's Eva Doesn't Sleep is a posthumous reflection of Argentinian First Lady Eva Perón (better known by citizens as "Evita"), and her impact on the country's state of being after her sudden death from cancer at the age of 33.
The controversy of Peron's politics is handled through a series of vignettes, following the embalmer (Imanol Arias) who helped preserve her body, the military officers (Denis Lavant, Nicolás Goldschmidt) who seized it following the Argentinan coup of 1955, and the ensuing two decade journey of its return, before being buried by the treacherous Admiral Emilio Massera (Gael García Bernal). Each character holds either a great sense of depth of animosity towards Evita, and in this form of presentation the film allows for a microsociological focus on a larger-than-life personality to take shape.
Agüero's utilizes an extensive amount of history surrounding two decades of development, expressed in a uniquely morbid tone. Darkness and pessimism engulfs every sequence of the film, and the mise-en-scene illustrates the duress faced by citizens experiencing the loss of a crucial figure, one who who represented hope and change for the nation.
While an understanding of Argentinia's history across the 20th century isn't essential to enjoy Eva Doesn't Sleep – it will certainly impress those who hold a keen interest. For others, its an offbeat encapsulation of the various perspectives regarding Evita's life, that fits in with the tone of Agüero's previous films to date.

Evangelical Protestant Christianity is known for placing great emphasis on the Pauline doctrine of justification by faith within its soteriology. Even a cursory reading of the literature produced since the Protestant Reformation, reveals that this Pauline doctrine, occupies a central place in their spirituality. Firstly, the emphasis of this dissertation seeks to demonstrate that there is an obvious continuity between the Reformers thought on justification by faith, and conventional theology; there is an identifiable tradition of spirituality that has passed from generation to generation and been consolidated, especially within Evangelicalism, in the solid establishment of the doctrine. Consequently justification by faith is at the heart of our understanding in the Epistle to the Romans; I consider that Romans contains a trifold element whereby this doctrine plays a highly important role within Pauline theology. These three, in my viewpoint are justification by faith, relationship and servanthood/priesthood. In other words, they are intrinsically part of a whole as they form the very kernel of Paul´s intention in Romans (cf. Rom. 1–5; 5–11; 12–16). Secondly, in this thesis, a significant body of evidence is presented that shows how modern schools of thought in contemporary scholarship almost entirely subscribe to a view denying the doctrine of justification by faith as established in tradition. Hence, this thesis may serve to preclude approaches, of a more radical teaching which may compromise the Protestant traditional understanding. Thirdly, therefore this dissertation supplies resources that may be found useful in the wider Evangelical debate about justification by faith for the Portuguese-speaking theological academic world, where to date, a thesis of this nature has not yet been developed. I have concluded this thesis by pointing out that these findings could play a part in opening up a discussion of the Christological roots of Justification. Finally, I have attempted to combine the doctrine itself and its inherent link to servanthood and priesthood, integrating the Pauline thought, through an evaluation and validation of the role of justification by faith, with its intrinsic contribution to develop a personal, individual but also a collective and communal relationship with God.

Doug Tuttle
The aesthetic formula on Doug Tuttle's first three solo albums is simple enough: Write flawless pop-rock songs, then cocoon them in a gentle psychedelic haze. That's the way it looks from the outside, at least. On the inside, he says it's not quite so picturesque.
"The music of the '60s and '70s is definitely my favorite stuff, but I think most of the weirdness in my music comes from me trying to hide mistakes," Tuttle says with a chuckle. "If something's not quite working, I just keep layering and layering and layering and adding a lot of strange effects to it until it's buried."
Doug Tuttle is exceedingly soft-spoken and self-effacing, especially for a guy who has played an active and multi-faceted role in the New England underground scene over the past decade. Before he started putting out solo records, he played in New Hampshire psychedelic rock band MMOSS from 2006 to 2013. In addition to making music, Tuttle also designs, builds and sells guitar-effects pedals under the name Mid-Fi Electronics. And he does it all from his apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, not far from downtown Boston.
"I have to wait until no one's home to record drums," he says, "and then I just do it as fast as I can."
In 2014, Tuttle emerged from the ashes of MMOSS with a self-titled album that established him as an expert alchemist of lush, Beatles-inspired pop and light psych touches. He stuck to that formula for 2016's It Calls On Me, but then shifted his perspective slightly last year on Peace Potato, which has more tracks than its predecessors, all of which are significantly shorter than on past albums.
That's by design. The album is supposed to feel like a night of waking dreams—like dropping in and out of sleepy sub-consciousness.
"I have this thing where I dream about real pop songs but they don't sound like they do in real life. It'll be some nightmarish thing instead," Tuttle says. "That's where the short songs come from. Each one is a reference to a song from a dream, and I tried my best to approximate the weirdness."
That weirdness fills in the cracks between Peace Potato's steady stream of beautiful pop-rock songs. "Home Again," with its lullaby arpeggios, warm-glow guitar and whispered vocal melody, creates the feeling of being in a dream state. "Life Boat" is a strangely comforting pile of sloshing sounds, simple bass and synth drone. And the instrumental, fingerpicked title track is both elegantly tuneful and frayed at the edges; it sounds like solo acoustic guitar hero John Fahey steeped in battery acid instead of the blues.
Otherwise, Peace Potato pulses with kaleidoscopic vibes. There are sparkling acoustic strummers ("Can It Be," "In Your Light"), psychedelic mini-jams ("It's Alright With Me, Ma," "Bait the Sun"), somber-sounding songs ("Don't Worry," "YCNTIOYO") and little slices of lysergic bliss ("All You See," "Only In A Dream"). Each one is an earworm, and collectively, they're like an extended peek at the bottomless pool of melody in Tuttle's head. It's a testament to that pool that Peace Potato feels sunny and serene. Still, Tuttle says that was not the intent.
"It wasn't necessarily meant to be a soothing record. The vibe I get from it is pretty dark," he says. "There are some poppy tunes on it but overall I think it's a dark record."
The tour that will bring Tuttle to San Diego is his first on the West Coast. It also may be his last. Touring at his level is a serious financial challenge, and Tuttle—at least for the moment—has decided to stay off the road and stay home to focus on writing, recording and Mid-Fi Electronics, which keeps him from working a day job.
"I've done a good amount of touring over the past few years and it just doesn't go as well as I hope it would most of the time," he says. "It's really expensive. I don't own a car, so it means renting a van and paying people to play with me. And then if no one comes to the show, it's kind of a bummer.
"I like touring," he continues, "but it just isn't sustainable at a point where you're losing money every time you go out."
Doug Tuttle plays Feb. 15 at Blonde
With more time at home, Tuttle's Bandcamp page bustled in 2017. Besides Peace Potato, he uploaded Deeper Peace, a lo-fi recording of solo songs that predates MMOSS and shows off his experimental side and his interest in Eastern sounds. He also posted a collection of more recent demos and outtakes. (Tuttle often records multiple versions of a single song with different production treatments.) And in October, he and his friend Matt Lajoie (of the band Herbcraft) put out an album of guitar improvisations called American Primate.
As for whether less touring will lead to more releases, Tuttle isn't so sure. Then again, he isn't so sure about anything right now.
"This is just how I am. It takes me eight or nine months to write or record an album, so that's when they come out," he says, pausing to reset his thoughts as if to reflect on both the uncertainties and opportunities ahead. "I just don't know what I'm doing at this point at all. I'm going to keep making records. I'm not on a label at the moment. So I can kind of do whatever I want."

Exploring 'Core Values' at Square One Theatre
The Square One Theatre Company, at Stratford Academy, will open its 28th season with the Connecticut premiere of "Core Values," a dark comedy about a dysfunctional workplace by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.
According to the theater: "With the world-around him changing at a dizzying pace, CEO Richard, the owner of a small, struggling travel agency clings to the work values he holds most dear: teamwork, loyalty and the incalculable importance of a good trust fall. However, it takes a weekend staff retreat for him to realize that his team-building exercises are not enough to stave off the realities of a rapidly evolving marketplace." It will run Thursday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 19.
Time Out New York describes it this way: This "laugh-out-loud funny, sigh-out-loud/sad new play captures the spirit of the age; and it will feel all too familiar to anyone who's ever found themselves caught in the hamster wheel of a dying industry."
The cast features Jim Buffone and Danielle Sultini, both from Milford; David Victor of Fairfield; and Lynnette Victoria, of Bridgeport.
The Square One Theatre's 28th season also includes Bruce Graham's "White Guy on the Bus," running March 1-18; and James Lescene's "The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelky," running May 3-20.
Stratford Academy, 719 Birdseye Street, Stratford. Nov. 2-19. First Thursday (only) at 7 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 4 and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. $50 for a 3-play subscription; $20 single tickets, $19 for seniors and students. Free parking. 203-375-8778.

Reports say Russian President Vladimir Putin has insisted Russia is not trying to split the European Union.
He was speaking hours before arriving in Austria, on his first trip to Western Europe in almost a year.
He told Austrian ORF television he wanted a "united and prosperous" EU, calling it Russia's most important commercial and economic partner.
The pro-Putin United Russia party has close links with far-right parties in the EU, which alarms many liberals.
The two populist parties now ruling Italy favour closer ties with Moscow and are both Eurosceptic.
In his interview Mr Putin played down the links between United Russia and Austria's far-right Freedom Party, the FPÖ. The parties have a co-operation agreement, but the FPÖ denies claims it has received money from Moscow.
The FPÖ has some key posts in Austria's coalition government – it is in charge of the interior ministry and defence – and says it wants to get the EU sanctions on Russia lifted. However, the coalition has agreed to back EU policy on sanctions.
Italy's new government openly called for a review of EU sanctions on Tuesday, starting with those that "threaten civil society in Russia". Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told parliament in Rome that Italy was in favour of opening up towards Russia, which represented a key partner for Italian business.
Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 triggered the sanctions, later ratcheted up as Russia helped separatists in eastern Ukraine, and relations with the EU remain frosty.
The EU measures target individuals and companies involved in Russia's actions in eastern Ukraine, where more than 10,000 people have been killed since the conflict began. Russia has hit back with counter-sanctions on food and raw materials.
"The more problems at the heart of the EU, the more risks and problems there are for us," Mr Putin told ORF.
"We need to build co-operation with the EU. We don't have a goal of dividing anything or anyone in the EU."
What some call a "new cold war" was also fuelled by Russia's role in the Syrian civil war and the poisoning of a former Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, in southern England. The UK blamed the Kremlin for that attack; Russia furiously denied any role in it.
Pro-Putin activists have been accused of spreading "fake news" on social media to undermine the tough Western stance on Russia and help empower nationalists in the EU.
Austria and many other EU states depend on Russia for much – and in some cases all – of their natural gas.
Mr Putin is meeting Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen and Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, as well as business leaders.

text: Things That Strain Your Heat Pump That Could Lead to a Repair Posted March 6, 2018 As the Orange temperature goes down, your heat pump typically has to pick up the pace to keep everyone in your house comfortable. While it will inevitably run the longest during cooler months, there are some things you can do to reduce excess strain on your heat pump that might result in a heat pump repair. Is Your Filter Dirty? Ah, the golden rule of heat pump ownership: check your air filter often and make sure it's clean. We can't say it enough. This is an easy way to keep your heat pump working as it should and help prevent heat pump repair. When your air filter is dirty and clogged, it becomes challenging for air to pass through and causes your heat pump to work a lot harder than it needs to. All this extra work can lead to a breakdown. If you have Mighty Ducts perform regular annual maintenance on your heat pump, we'll check your air filter and replace it if needed. It's a great idea to set a reminder for yourself to check your filter monthly and change it again when you start to notice dirt building up. Are Your Vents Clear and Open? If your vents are dirty or blocked, or even just closed, your heat pump is going to operate harder than it needs to. Keep furniture and curtains from blocking your vents to let the warm air to flow through your space and reduce the load on your heat pump. If you notice the airflow still isn't as strong as it should be, or you see dirt gathering on your vent covers, have your ductwork inspected. Leaks may need to be sealed, or it just might require a good cleaning. If the final verdict is that the ducts are clear, but your heat pump still isn't keeping up, give Mighty Ducts a call before you flip the emergency heat switch. We may be able to help you find a better way to heat your home. Are You Using a Programmable Thermostat? A programmable thermostat can help stop your heat pump from running when it isn't necessary. Without a programmable thermostat, your heat pump will heat your house during times when it's not needed—like when the house is empty or away on vacation. A programmable thermostat allows you to alter your heating schedule around your schedule and heat your home at desired times—which will help you save money on your energy costs and reduce the strain on your heat pump and help prevent a heat pump repair. If you would like more information on reducing the strain on your heat pump and preventing heat pump repair, give Mighty Ducts a call at 714-464-3376 and our experts can walk you through it.

Man learning to use shotgun nearly shoots Collier woman
A shotgun blast through the wall of a Collier County home missed a woman living there by inches.
A shotgun blast through the wall of a Collier County home missed a woman living there by inches.
Todd Devozza was arrested for firing his shotgun in the house.
He told Collier deputies he was drinking at the time and bought the gun for home defense.
The incident happened July 3rd, and neighbors say you could hear fireworks all around the neighborhood. Late when the shotgun went off, the sound was unlike that of the usual fireworks.
"It sounded very different and very loud than whatever fireworks they were using," said Lori Glenn, who lives in the home that was hit.
Glenn was watching movies with her daughter when the wall exploded, and she was hit by flying debris. A mirror leaning against the wall stopped one pellet.
Glenn's boyfriend, John Najarian, still can't believe how lucky Glenn is to not have been hit.
"I don't know how it missed her," said Najarian. "I knew it was a shotgun."
Devozza told deputies he recently bought the gun and was learning how to use it on the Internet.
"That's ridiculous, if you wanna learn to use a gun then go to a gun range and to professionals," said Judith Woerler, who lives across the street from Devozza. "I could imagine asking him what the heck are you thinking."
Devozza told deputies he had been drinking when the incident happened.
"I kind of figured it was just an accident of some kind, but those are the kinds of accidents you read about," said Najarian.
He says their relationship with Devozza was friendly, but he was surprised Devozza never came over to apologize.
"I certainly would be pretty awkward, but I promise you I could overcome that and go make sure everybody was OK," said Najarian.
Now, they have to figure out how to pay for the damage.
"People party and they have their fun and they do foolish things, and other people pick up the tab for it," said Najarian.
Devozza is out of jail and has a court date in August for the incident.

I'm A Model + Had Low Self-Esteem. How I Found Calm In A Competitive Industry
I work full-time as a model. I'm what the industry refers to as a plus size model because I am bigger than a size 4/6.
I've spent years looking for validation in all the wrong places — model castings — where clients judge us based on hair color and hip size, and society assumes we should all be a size two with big boobs.
When I book jobs, I feel validated. I'm busy, I'm making money, I can post my work on social media, my friends and relatives like seeing me in magazines, in stores and online.
And then I lost a major client.
A new person in charge decided to shoot with smaller models. Another longtime client decided to switch things up and hire all new models, so I was dropped.
I was going on more castings than I ever before but I wasn't booking jobs.
Being in alignment with a greater power has given me my power back.
My breaking point came when I was up for a huge national campaign and the casting director told my agent she loved me and thought I was a perfect fit. I didn't get the job.
I remember walking down the street crying. I knew the decision wasn't personal, but it felt that way.
I know the business is extremely competitive and has nothing to do with how nice I am, how smart I am, how hard I work.
Despite knowing better, I started down a dangerous spiral of, "Why don't they like me? What's wrong with me? What do I need to change about myself?"
The "I'm not good enough" thoughts were racing through my mind and I felt my breathing start to change. I was having a panic attack on Park Avenue.
After a good cry, a good meal and a good conversation with a dear friend, I went home and told myself something had to give. I always thought of myself as one of the happiest people I know, and there I was having weekly meltdowns. It wasn't healthy.
I know that happiness begins and ends with me, but I was in too much pain to shift my thoughts.
In admitting to myself that I didn't have all the answers, and surrendering to something greater than myself, I experienced a kind of peace and freedom I haven't felt since I was a child. For me, this meant turning to my faith and accepting that God has a plan for me.
Releasing my need to be validated by others — which I often justified because a client's validation of me paid the bills — and turning instead to the grace of a power greater than me to guide me to love and validate myself has saved my life.
When I get my ego out of the way and ask for the highest energy of the Universe to speak to and through me, and show me the way, meltdowns are replaced by miracles. I expect them now.
That desperate need to control outcomes has been replaced with acceptance of what is. Not everything is meant for me and I am OK with that now.
Now, when I don't book a job, I'm fine with it. The obsessive thoughts over what I could have done differently or better, or stories I used to create about not being good enough have been replaced with excitement about what bigger and better plan is in store for me.
One of my favorite mantras is, "This or something better." So when I don't book "this" job, I know I'm about to land something better and perfect for me. I live in faith now, not fear. I go in, I do my best, I have fun, I smile and give it my all. Then I release it. If an old thought pattern tries to creep in, I acknowledge it, take a deep breath and exhale it. I know it's just a thought.
I begin and end each day with a guided meditation. This commitment to stillness is manifested in inspiration, joy, peace, clear focus and creativity. When I live my life from this place, I'm in the flow and don't have to try as hard — jobs, relationships and opportunities just seem to open up organically for me.
For me, it's a miracle that I'm able to practice self-love instead of constantly beating myself up with negative thoughts that don't serve a purpose. That's what I'm committed to every day: Small acts of self-love to validate myself. Going to the gym. Writing. Meditation. Prayer. Getting energy work done. Eating food that nourishes my body. Making a friend smile. Creating the space for people to live in their truth. I'm finding that when I shine, I am giving others permission to shine too.
I've discovered that being in alignment with a greater power has given me my power back. I can relax. I trust. I know that the Universe has my back. I'm taken care of, and even when it seems things aren't lining up in my favor, I quickly see how everything is happening for me.

Energy firm SSE increases profits by 10pc despite losing 370,000 customers
UK-based energy supplier SSE, which trades as Airtricity here, said it lost 370,000 customers in Britain and Ireland.
Despite the losses, SSE reported a 9.6pc increase in 2014 full-year adjusted pretax profit, boosted by a strong performance in its electricity transmission operations.
The group, a member of Britain's 'Big Six' energy suppliers which have come under fire for consistently increasing tariffs, reported profits of £1.6bn, ahead of the £1.5bn expected by an average of 17 analysts according to Thomson Reuters data.
Despite the rise, the utility said yesterday the issues facing the energy sector were "very challenging".
It made the bold move in March to freeze its energy tariffs until January 2016.
"Customers, investors, regulators, politicians and SSE all want the same thing: an energy market that works for customers, and is trusted and seen to do so," said chairman Robert Smith.
Retail operating profit at SSE was down 28.6pc to £292m for the year to March 2014.
The company's electricity transmission operating profit, however, rose by nearly half due to a major increase in investment which chairman Smith said would continue with a net investment of around 5.5 billion pounds over four years in the network.
He said shareholders would not suffer as a consequence.
"We are committed to giving investors a fair return through an annual dividend that at least keeps pace with inflation," he said.
The energy firm said yesterday its full-year dividend increased by 3 to 86.7 pence per share.

Santa and His Elves Arrive on Southbourne's Green and there's Festive Goodies too!
Santa and his elves will be arriving on Southbourne's Green on 1st December and, to welcome them, there'll be mulled wine, mince pies and a chance to win raffle prizes for visitors and shoppers.
Christmas will well and truly start in Southbourne with the arrival of Santa and his elves on the Green on Saturday 1st December. These very special visitors from the North Pole will be making a Southbourne stop-over as part of a fun day of festive activities to start the Christmas month.
From 10.00am – 3.30pm, Southbourne's Green will be bustling with seasonal surprises for visitors and shoppers. Little ones will be able to meet Santa and his elves, whilst grown-ups will have the opportunity to sample warming mulled wine and locally made mince pies as well as having the chance to win some spectacular prizes in the Christmas raffle.
The following day, Sunday 2nd December, from 1.30pm – 4.30pm, there'll be a traditional Carol Service with a difference at Southbourne's Immanuel Church when the congregation and choir will be joined by a brass band as well.
Paul Clarke is Chairman of Bournemouth Coastal BID, one of the main supporters and organisers of Southbourne's Christmas celebrations. Paul said:
"Southbourne is already looking and feeling very festive with its wonderful avenue of Christmas trees. Its many high street and independent shops have really entered the Christmas spirit. And, of course, the postal service has been very busy dealing with all the letters to Santa that children have been posting in the special letterbox on the Community Green. The start of the Christmas month, 1st December, is always a little bit special. We wanted to mark the date with a day of festive fun that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors of all ages and bring even more customers into the town."
1st December is also the date of Small Business Saturday, a national non-commercial campaign, actively supported by the Coastal BID. Small Business Saturday is designed to highlight the success and innovation of small businesses around the UK and encourage consumers to 'shop local'. With Southbourne's diverse and interesting mix of independent businesses and High Street names plus all its Christmas activities, there are plenty of incentives to 'shop local'.
Bournemouth's Coastal BID area runs from Westbourne to Hengistbury Head and works to generate more visitors to the area and to support and promote its many diverse and innovative businesses. In the run up to Christmas, there will be free parking on a number of key dates, making buying those all-important gifts easier for shoppers.

They have been customers of Approved Comfort since 2004 when they had humidifiers installed in their home. I called them out to have an estimate done for 2 new air conditioners, I had Dave the salesman out right away, and they installed my new air conditioners in two days. I did have a little bit of a problem they had to return to stabilize units because they were vibrating. They re leveled units and anchored units to the wall at no charge to me of course because the work was under warranty. All in all great job by installers and all you guys at Approved Comfort are Great!

Midnight Abalone Sky
January 8, 2016
A delicate scattering of shattered Abalone, Glitters in the vast velvet of midnight sky; Inlaid landscape, in white mother of pearl; Lovingly drape, delicate lace, on each tree; Ruffles of ice edging roofs, beams underlie; Above windows covered frosty ice all a furl; Frozen beauty! An eye desert made for me! My self-centric view of … More Midnight Abalone Sky

As the weather-affected ferry routes were gradually recovering from the storms on Friday and Saturday, one of the unaffected services came to a complete halt. The mv Hebrides suffered a "technical fault" and all services today from Uig on Skye to Lochmaddy and Tarbert were cancelled.
The fault led to the ferry colliding with Lochmaddy pier. The incident occurred at 1105 as MV Hebrides, travelling from Tarbert on Harris, was approaching Lochmaddy quay.
A technical failure led to the vessel being unable to to reduce speed sufficiently for the routine docking procedures and she struck both pontoons in Lochmaddy harbour and the seabed.
No one was injured and the vessel's hull remains intact.
A total of 76 passengers and crew were on board, as well as 13 cars, 1 lorry and 1 motorhome. She is now alongside safely at Lochmaddy. All passengers and vehicles have been disembarked and alternative routes for all those affected are being investigated.
A team of divers is on its way to make underwater investigations of the hull and a full inquiry into what happened has been launched. Travel on the Uig-Tarbert-Lochmaddy route is disrupted and likely to remain so for a minimum of 48 hours.
Passengers are advised to check CalMac's website and social media channels for further updates on alternative travel plans or to call 0800 066 5000. Caledonian MacBrayne will contact passengers with reservations for this route directly to organise alternative travel for them.
Meanwhile, as the storms calmed, the Oban serivce from Castlebay was running two hours behind schedule while the Mallaig Armadale service was still facing disruption by continued high winds.

Bible Code, TheProduct no.: 0-684-84973-9
Not since the 1947 Dead Sea Scroll discovery has humanity been graced with such a revelation; yet so shocking and unbelievable, society has dismissed it as a hoax.
Product is in stock
|Publisher's Synopsis
On September 1, 1994, I flew to Israel and met in Jerusalem with a close friend of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the poet Chaim Guri. I gave him a letter which he immediately gave to the Prime Minister. "An Israeli mathematician has discovered a hidden code in the Bible that appears to reveal the details of events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written," my letter to Rabin stated.
"The reason I'm telling you about this is that the only time your full name Yitzhak Rabin is encoded in the Bible, the words 'assassin that will assassinate' cross your name." On November 4, 1995, came the awful confirmation, a shot in the back from a man who believed he was on a mission from God, the murder that was encoded in the Bible three thousand years ago.
"The biggest news of the millennium - maybe of all human history even." ~Baltimore Sun
"Explosive... No wonder the book is causing a sensation." ~Newsweek
Stanley Kubrick compared the Torah Code to the Black Monolith in 2001, stating it was like a "mysterious source of knowledge that comes around everytime we're ready to be taken to a new level in our evolution."
"I've looked at the Bible code every day myself for five years. I've learned Hebrew in order to do it. I have a complete copy of the computer program that Eli Rips used to discover the code, and I'm absolutely certain there is a code in the Bible that does reveal events that happened thousands of years after the Bible was written.
I indeed have found events in the code first and then seen them later happen in the real world and when that happens to you, you believe. It happened to me in a very dramatic way with Yitzhak Rabin where I found the prediction of the assassination a year before he was killed, warned him (which Rabin chose to ignore), and then saw him killed, exactly as predicted, indeed in the year it was predicted."

I could tell you many fun facts about myself: I'm a life coach, mom, psychotherapist & developmental psychologist. a wife, a sister, a daughter, a flawed human. And a lot more.
But for the sake of why we are here, right now, I'd rather tell you a little bit about who I am to you.
I'm your person.
You know, the kind of person who isn't a family member, childhood friend or doctor, but still feels educated, relatable, and trustworthy? The person who helps you make decisions that truly get you results you love. Results that come from a place of empowerment and clarity.
Together, we're going to finally get you following through on the things you know you need to be doing so that you actually like your life, but never get around to doing.
Maybe you haven't done those things because you feel guilty, or you don't have time, or because someone told you shouldn't or couldn't.
My job is to quiet the noise that keeps leading you to self sabotage, so you can stop feeling like a fraud in your own life.
Yes, we'll talk. A lot. But we'll also make decisions. We will reflect on the past, but we will also be proactive and accountable. You'll feel safe, but you will be (really) challenged. We'll have to go deep, but in doing so, you will see results that you truly love. Results that are sustainable because you actually know how and why you got them.
They say the grass is greener where you water it. My job is to help you do just that.
yep, it's time!

BioLargo Inc.
Featured in Supply Chain Solutions Magazine
BioLargo Inc. helps pet owners love their furry friends even more with odor-control products.
Animal owners who face the challenge of providing a safe, clean living environment now have the answer to their problems withBioLargo Inc.'s Odor-No-More products.
Odor-No-More is a multi-line brand of products proven to eliminate odor and moisture within animal enclosures. The products have pro ven to reduce flies and promote better respiratory and foot health to create a cleaner, dryer, safer and healthier enclosure. Odor-No-More drastically reduces the amount of bedding consumed and replaced in animal enclosures, saving time and money.
The products are sprinkled in the bedding and litter box. The urine is quickly absorbed and the ammonia is rapidly eliminated, eliminating unpleasant odors. In turn, animals will not have to live in urine-soaked enclosures and the products promote healthier feet and skin. "It's about odor and moisture control, and it applies to a multitude of industries," President Dennis Calvert says.
Once the three-core products found the path to market, new markets began to open up. BioLargo found a strategic partner in E.T. Horn and agreed to work with the company as a nonexclusive contract manufacturer and master distributor in 2009.
"Their products fit our animal wellness profile and channels to market," says E.T. Horn Vice President of Sales Lisa Alley-Zarkades. "BioLargo and its wholly-owned subsidiary Odor-No-More Inc. are innovators and leaders with new technology that we believe will revolutionize various waste management practices for animals."
Odor-No-More received a Best New Product award in 2009 at SuperZoo, the pet industry's largest show. Since then, the core products have been picked up by major suppliers and retail locations in addition to being used by veterinarians.
Natural Solutions BioLargo is an intellectual property company that features the applications of its natural technologies. The company strives to harness and deliver what it calls "Nature's Best Solution" – free-iodine – in a safe, efficient, environmentally sensitive and cost-effective manner. It works by combining micronutrient salts with liquid from any source to deliver free-iodine on demand, in controlled dosages, to balance efficacy of performance with concerns about toxicity.
"Our primary focus is to find commercial partners who want to make products better," Calvert says. "Our technologies primarily serve as disinfectants and for odor and moisture control."
BioLargo focuses on finding product applications for its patent-protected chemistry. The cost-effective, inorganic compounds are embedded in absorbent products that can be used for bed pads, diapers, surgical drapes, transportation packages for hazardous materials, wound dressings and bandages. The technology also can be delivered in just about any physical form – liquids, tablets, powders, sprays, washes and gas phase delivery systems – making it flexible for just about any need an industry may have.
"It is a rare find to have such a simple, environmentally-friendly and effective solution to so many applications for odor, contamination, cleaning and overall health improvement for animals and their owners," Alley-Zarkades says.
"Iodine is nature's cleanser for the Earth," Calvert says. It's a natural disinfectant. Our discovery isn't iodine. The discovery is we can easily deliver and control the free-iodine for use in products. What we bring into the marketplace is our natural chemistry that is safe and effective, non-staining and has no known acquired resistance capability."
'Culture of Collaboration' The global financial crisis makes getting capital difficult, Calvert says. Another challenge is finding the best way to market its unique products. "These are two very common issues for a company like ours," Calvert says. "Fortunately, our first commercial product focus and our strategic partnership with the ET Horn Company gave us the resources to push through and make things successful.
"The key is finding the right areas to focus on and make sure we found the right partner," he adds. "Supply chain success and a culture of collaboration are critical."
Like any new relationship, a company must anticipate the needs of the other party, Calvert explains. He describes partnerships as valuable assets in a strategy, such as the synergy between BioLargo and E.T. Horn. "We are thankful for what they do for us," he says.
For E.T. Horn, the sentiment is mutual. "Since E.T. Horn is a cutting-edge technology and science-based raw material supplier, the relationship with BioLargo and Odor-No-More is a perfect match," Alley-Zarkades says. "BioLargo has put an amazing investment into the science and technology market over the years.
"Plus, we understand each other very well," she adds. "E.T. Horn is very scientifically-based with a high level of expertise in chemistry, scientific process and a technical sales approach across all our divisions. We are working hard to get the message to the industry, customers and channels that will help their BioLargo's products expand their presence within main stream retail. Once an end-consumer sees the product perform, it is an immediate sale. There is simply nothing in the marketplace that can outperform these products."

A day of baking to celebrate niece no. 4's birthday … We also made paper chains and honeycomb decorations. A little play at the playground and miniature musical statues, she was happy 🙂
I baked scones for the first time, and if I do say so myself, they were pretty good!
Swirled a little blackberry into the plain sponge middle layer. Then converted the rest to chocolate, adding some blackberry to that too.
Two kinds of buttercream, blackberry then white chocolate and cream cheese, sandwiched and finished off around the sides.
Birthday message biscuits, which look pretty good in the afternoon light, despite me slightly over baking them! Bit of chocolate Philadelphia soon fixed that!
There's the heart shaped scones on the cake stand in the background too!

Merely decide a template and use Duda's responsive website builder to carry your imaginative and prescient to life. For those who do choose eHost as your next internet builder, be sure to declare as much as $200 in advertising and marketing coupons when advertising with Bing, Yahoo, and Google AdWords. It's nothing special and I could have gotten that service from different builders as effectively.
Responsive net design is another resolution, which aligns the hosted content material in response to the scale of the display it is opened on. Conserving these factors in mind, it is quite easy to get a website up and running that will be capable to garner extra visitors and show to be useful for the faculty college students for his or her personal life and profession.
It's possible that if all of those factors rank highly, the overall quality of the website builder shall be excessive as well, but sometimes the overall performance just doesn't add up. It is crucial, therefore, to assess the entire parts as a whole to determine which builder is best for you.
