In picking the proper profession or career, activity of to be a locksmith regularly overlooked. Who'd have belief that a simple task of making and repairing locks can lead to a career opportunity? Require for the locksmith industry has greatly increased, because for every lost or broken keys and tricky locks there is a need to obtain locksmith. The cause of is a small field no market fluctuations and technology changes. Although, this isn't considered to stay the professional capacity level, (because a single national governing body does not exist in this job) numerous guilds exist that retain the trade and training courses, and skill enhancement.
These added precautions should come as the relief since. In fact, it's not a perfect customers who demand reassurance from locksmith companies. Owing to fraudulent locksmiths in the area, there are certain type of locksmith who have pushed for licensing act. While a locksmith isn't necessarily instructed to have a license, is actually possible to getting increasingly difficult to work without a person particular. Earlier it was mentioned that there was an influx of fraudulent locksmith companies in the states. Specialist, but will hard to believe since just because someone states that they are of locksmith known for providing, without right documentation, proving that someone is actually a locksmith is extremely hard.
Aside from the new security being made for your average locksmith, there are a couple of other ingredients that a locksmith has to be able to accomplish before they can 24 Hour Locksmiths In Toronto be work under their own company.
Residential or commercial locksmith
Installing residential locks and commercial locks are among several locksmith services offered by this type of locksmith. To expect the locksmith to be knowledgeable about the best types of locks on their own market, and hubby can probably tell you which ones are suitable to meet your individual home and business security needs. Installation/repair/change/upgrade any regarding lock services are also offered to the majority of homeowners and commercial fans.
What one thing don't realize, however, is that many locksmiths can offer customized and advanced locksmith services to enhance the security of house or companies. Not all do, however, and accessibility of these services will depend on the locksmith supply inside your town. Some examples of devices that could be installed by your local locksmith include alarm systems, remote security sensors, and CCTV/wireless CCTV systems to detect intruders and monitor your home and business, along utilizing the surrounding villa. There are also many access control systems, including intercom systems and phone systems. These would be especially used for business owners who obtain it necessary to limit access to precise buildings and/or other secure areas.
My recommendation is to always use an independent locksmith that you have found yourself for emergency call out services, fees will be less as there is no middle man taking a cut a great number don't even charge a try out fee, they will just bill you for the job. A lot of people turn to the net to quest for a locksmith particularly after a lock out where you only along with a cell phone.
A local locksmith with typically have a local number, this may be the easiest strategy to spot a nearby independent locksmith, some have a nationwide low rate number if they cover quiet extreme area, if the case then twain visit to their website should disclose their locality, in cases where a locksmith lacks at least an address on the website keep far removed from them nevertheless there is something not quiet right.
A competent locksmith will more often than not possess a decent mobile optimised website is going to also have their address at the least and possibly a location map showing their location or other parts they contain. You will usually find a listing of services supply and most locksmiths provide an emergency on-site visit service for home/business lock outs but not all locksmiths offer automotive services so make sure you certify they are suitable for the job opportunity.

"I also know that you are worried about me and that you're afraid I won't have a good foothold in the main family after dropping out like this." How could he not know the reason for Shen Yanxiao's abnormal attitude? It was only that, things had developed to such an extent that he could no longer go back.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath before impressively standing up and approaching Tang Nazhi.
"You also know that when you drop out of school, you will certainly be suppressed in your family. Since you have chosen to become a Pharmacist, no matter what happens, you should stick to it! You are a child of Black Tortoise Clan. Is it still unclear to you that being a younger generation from an aristocratic family, there will be some limitations? What good will it bring you if you leave like this? If you go back like this, you will not only give up your own perseverance, but you will also give others the opportunity to suppress you! "Shen Yanxiao was angry, really angry.
She knew Tang Nazhi was a straightforward person, but he wasn't a fool. He couldn't be unaware of the consequences of being expelled from school now.
If not, then she wouldn't have competed in a match from the start just because of Shangguan Xiao's bet!
"I know, I know." Being scolded by Shen Yanxiao, Tang Nazhi was unable to raise his head. But his heart was nevertheless bitterly complaining.
"Since you already know, then why are you still doing this?" Shen Yanxiao stared at Tang Nazhi, not even giving him the chance to escape. " You dropping out surely was not your own idea. Who forced you to do so?" Although the Black Tortoise Clan disliked their own child becoming a pharmacist, but due to keeping their face, they shouldn't be the ones who had forced Tang Nazhi to drop out.
And with Tang Nazhi's character, the intimidation of others did not have any effect on him at all.
Shen Yanxiao couldn't think of any reason for Tang Nazhi's decision to give up the Pharmacist's road.
He gave up not just being a pharmacist but also his status in the Black Tortoise Clan!
"Don't ask so much. I'll be leaving tomorrow, and I am glad to see you today. I don't know when we can meet each other again, but let's not talk about these unpleasant things anymore." Tang Nazhi did not want to discuss the matter about him dropping out of school. He could only evade Shen Yanxiao's sharp eyes.
"Even if you don't want to say, you think I cannot find it out?" Shen Yanxiao squinted her eyes. Tang Nazhi's repeated avoidance caught her attention. She felt Tang Nazhi's withdrawal from school couldnt' be that simple.
"Little Xiao, please don't ask any more." Tang Nazhi was a little annoyed. He had wanted to see this little sister before he left. But he did not expect that after meeting her, Shen Yanxiao would repeatedly ask him why he had dropped out of school. This was the last thing he wanted to tell her.
"Even if you don't say it now, she will still know it one day." A lazy voice interrupted the two people's stalemate. Qi Xia's arms were folded on his chest as he leisurely leaned against the door.
"Don't cause me trouble," Tang Nazhi glared at Qi Xia.
Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders. After Shen Yanxiao had left, he also came over and heard the two people's conversation outside the door. He knew that Tang Nazhi would not reveal the truth even if he died.
But even if he kept her in the dark now, how long could it be concealed?
"You won't let us say it, so I let her ask you. But if you don't want to say it, I can only let her ask those who know." Qi Xia smiled like a rogue. Although the three of them had agreed to Tang Nazhi about not telling the truth to Shen Yanxiao, in Holy Roland School, there were a few who knew the reason why Tang Nazhi dropped out of school.
Tang Nazhi incredulously glared at Qi Xia. He could not wait to strangle this beast directly.
Even though he didn't help, he still ran to stir the water!And chat with us in or in .

Aviya Kushner grew up in a Hebrew-speaking family, reading the Bible in the original Hebrew and debating its meaning over the dinner table. She knew much of it by heart - and was therefore surprised when, while getting her MFA at the University of Iowa, she took the novelist Marilynne Robinson's class on the Old Testament and discovered she barely recognized the text she thought she knew so well. Kushner began discussing the experience with Robinson, who became a mentor, and her interest in the differences between the ancient language and the modern one gradually became an obsession. In this eye-opening chronicle, Kushner tells the story of her vibrant relationship to the Bible, and along the way illustrates how the differences in translation affect our understanding of our culture's most important written work.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical
Princess of Wales Theatre 300 King W, Toronto, Ontario M5V 1J2
by Baz Luhrmann and Craig Pierce (Mirvish). A dancer defies all the rules and follows his heart to find his true calling and true love. Opens Apr 26 and runs to Jun 25, Tue-Sat 8 pm, mat Wed, Sat & Sun 2 pm. $31.25-$139.
Terry Johnson's adaptation of Baz Luhrmann's breakthrough film about the bitchy goings-on behind the scenes of an Aussie ballroom dancing competition loses a lot in the translation. The tone wavers uneasily between satire and sentimentality, and the narrative is so patronizing and ridiculous – and the jokes so relentless – that it wears you down. The lyrics are ho-hum and the dancing is competent. The performers, while game for anything, are hamstrung by their underwritten characters.

Feuille de Lavande Mini Candle
Conjuring up the entire lavender bush, a classic in every French home, evoking the landscapes of Provence.
Burns for approximately 30 hours.
Conjuring up the entire lavender bush, a classic in every French home, evoking the landscapes of Provence.
Burns for approximately 30 hours.
Caring for your Candle
Burn Time
The first time you burn your diptyque candle, allow it to burn for at least two hours, until the whole top is liquid with wax. This will help your candle burn more evenly the next time.
Trim The Wick
Before lighting your diptyque candle, trim the wick to 1/4-inch length. By shortening the wick you allow it to burn more slowly and also avoid unsightly black smoke marks around the edge of the glass.
Realign The Wick
After blowing out your candle, re-center and straighten the wick.
Never leave a lit candle unattended. This could be a fire risk. Always place your candle on a level, heat resistant, non-flammable surface away from fabric or drapes. Choose an area free from drafts to avoid uneven burning. Do not place your candle on a marble or glass surface. If the bottom of the hot candle glass comes in contact with a cold material, the glass may crack.

Red Canyon Tunnel
My regular readers my remember that our family recently returned from a wonderful vacation in Utah. I've been sharing some photos of our trip to Bryce Canyon here on this blog.
On our way to Bryce Canyon National Park, we traveled along a portion of scenic Highway 12. This stretch of Highway 12 was beautiful with striking red rock formations along the highway. It is situated in Red Canyon, which is part of Dixie National Forest. Driving through Red Canyon along Highway 12 gave us a delightful preview of the incredible natural beauty that awaited us in Bryce Canyon National Park.
Along scenic Highway 12, which by the way has been named a National Scenic Byway, we traveled through two Red Canyon Tunnels. Of course, we just had to stop and take a photo of one of these amazing tunnels. If you'd like to learn more about these tunnels, as well as view some interesting photos of the tunnels from the 1920's, click HERE.

Most federal anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, do not allow aggrieved employees to sue the individual supervisors who are responsible for discriminating against them or terminating them. Under federal law, mistreated employees can only sue the employers, many of whom claim they are not responsible for the actions of the harasser. But under Ohio's anti-discrimination law, Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4112, employees have been able to sue their harassers since 1998 when the Supreme Court of Ohio decided Genaro v. Central Transport, Inc. [Read more…] about Discrimination Claims Against Supervisors Alive, Well In Ohio
Employment Law
Time as a Temporary Worker Counts Toward Your FMLA Eligibility
Many people start a new job working through a staffing agency, a temporary agency, or a placement service. Often, employers will use these agencies as an opportunity to give new workers a trial period to ensure they will be dependable employees who will be a good fit for permanent employment. Sometimes, the new workers will work for the temp agencies for a set period of time, such as six months, and then automatically become permanent employees of said company. Other times, the company will let workers continue at the staffing firm until it decides it wants to hire the particular workers. [Read more…] about Time as a Temporary Worker Counts Toward Your FMLA Eligibility
Were You Fired for Prescription Medicine?
A recent Mayo Clinic study found nearly seventy percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug and more than fifty percent of Americans take two. Nevertheless, according to the Sixth Circuit's decision on August 26, 2014 in Bates v. Dura Automotive Systems, Inc., employees may "sometimes" be terminated for taking their lawfully prescribed medications. A Cincinnati disability discrimination lawyer can help determine whether a medication-motivated termination is illegal. [Read more…] about Were You Fired for Prescription Medicine?
How To Tell If You Have A Case
Many people who have problems at work wonder if they have a case a lawyer would be interested in pursuing. Many people just want to know if what has happened to them is legal, even if they haven't decided yet if they want to fight their employer over it. A typical Cincinnati employment lawyer will get many inquiries from people who have been disciplined, passed over for a promotion, or even terminated, but who don't have any legal claim a lawyer can help them with. We will give you some basic guidelines to use in telling whether you or a friend or family member has been treated illegally by an employer. Remember, the only way to really know is to contact an employment law specialist to discuss your situation.
Telecommuting and the ADA
Many employers fear employees who work from home or "telecommute" lose the benefits of working along-side their peers. According to the Head of Human Resources for Yahoo, Jackie Reses, "[t]hat is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices. Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu meetings." But in some circumstances employers may be required to allow disabled employees to telecommute. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals recently held that allowing a disabled employee to work from home, or "telecommute," four days a week could be a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). [Read more…] about Telecommuting and the ADA
FMLA Leave For Same-Sex Couples Explained
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take job-protected leave from work to care for a spouse with a serious health condition. The FMLA guidelines define "spouse" as a husband or wife as defined by the employee's state of residence. Same-sex marriages are only lawful in New York, the District of Columbia, California, Connecticut, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Hawaii, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Consequently, employees who reside in states not recognizing same-sex marriage are not entitled to FMLA leave to care for their same-sex spouse. A Cincinnati FMLA lawyer can explain how Ohio same sex couples might be affected by the FMLA. [Read more…] about FMLA Leave For Same-Sex Couples Explained
Did You Know? EEOC Requires Employers to Accommodate Pregnant Employees
On July 14, 2014, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued new enforcement guidance on the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), warning employers that pregnant employees—even those with normal, uncomplicated pregnancies—are entitled to reasonable accommodations in the workplace. The EEOC's guidance creates new obligations for employers under the PDA and may have a significant impact on how employers deal with their pregnant employees. [Read more…] about Did You Know? EEOC Requires Employers to Accommodate Pregnant Employees
Our Lawyers Explain How Reimbursements for Expenses May Actually Be Wages
In an effort to save money, employers sometimes use reimbursements for expenses as a means to supplement the hourly wages of their hourly employees. These expenses include things such as rent for a home or apartment, travel to and from the workplace, cell phones, internet service charges, meals, and student loan payments. Employers provide these reimbursements instead of paying employees a higher wage in order to save money on taxes. Employers also do not factor in these reimbursements when calculating your overtime wages, paying you only 150 percent of your normal hourly wage. If you receive regular reimbursements for expenses, your employer may owe you additional overtime wages. Your employer may also be putting you in a difficult situation with the Internal Revenue Service. [Read more…] about Our Lawyers Explain How Reimbursements for Expenses May Actually Be Wages
FBI's 30 Push-Up Requirement Discriminates Against Men
In order to graduate from the FBI Academy, new agent trainees are required to pass a gender-normed Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The PFT contains four individual tests: sit-ups, a 300-meter run, push-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. Each trainee must receive a cumulative score of twelve points with at least one point in each of the four events. The times or numbers needed to achieve a point differ for males and females. For example, in the push-up test, male trainees must complete thirty push-ups when female trainees must only complete fourteen push-ups in order to achieve one point.

Employees Should Know The FMLA Provides Equitable Remedies
Cincinnati area employees may be entitled to various forms of relief if their FMLA rights are violated. Even if you do not suffer lost wages, you could be entitled to other forms of relief for the damages you do suffer.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'veggies' tag.
I cannot seem to get enough fruit and veggies lately. They are fresh and colorful, I've been eating cataloupe like candy lately. And that's a good thing. A cup of cantaloupe is around 60-70 calories. It's a yummy thing to fill up on, and it's packed with vitamins! Since I've been incorportating more of these items into my diet (and less complex carbs) – I have felt more energetic, less "heavy" (more "light" – i.e., less weighed down), and seen healthier changes in other aspects of my life.
Incorportating these fruits and veggies have been relatively easy for me. It was just a matter of having them in my house. They are so easy to grab now that I have a variety of fruits and vegetables around my house. And every week I have something new and different (there is so much variety!). It makes packing a lunch a breeze, and the tastes are vibrant and fresh.
Just cutting up an apple for a side dish with dinner, grabbing a bagged salad for a fast pairing, throwing copped up peppers and corn into beans for zesty burritos, throwing sweet peas into a fresh potato soup, or roasting veggies to add to pasta. The possibilities are truly endless!
I have also been enjoying (and pushing myself to) drinking more water. It's not always easy, sometimes I just want flavor. So I throw a slice of lemon, cucumber, or even melon. It's refreshing, and I've noticed how much smoother my body functions when it's well hydrated. I still enjoy my coffee and tea, but nothing hydrates the body like water. By making it a priority, I've made my health a priority.
Start your love affair with fruits and veggies (and water) today! I guarantee you'll thank yourself for it (and your body will too)!
Tips for Eating More Fruits and Veggies, just click here.
Last night was full of delicious food and lots of little noshes. I finished off work with a giant pear and an Oatmeal Raisin Quaker Chewy Bar. I then met my sweetie at the food store for the 12 hour produce sale! We got lots of goodies – bananas, onions, potatoes, apples, cantaloupe, peppers, butter, tofu, yogurts, frozen tater tots, frozen peppers, plus other munchies for under $20!! It was fabulous and now my fridge and counter are stocked with fresh veggies and fruits, and lots of healthy ingredients here and there. Love that feeling! Money Saving Tip: go online once a week and read the circulars from your local food stores, you can get some STELLAR deals for healthy items that normal might be a little pricey!
Last night I made Mac and Cheese, which I had with a huge side salad drizzled with balsamic! Mmm! I forgot to snap pictures, which I really need to be more diligent about, it's good to see what I am putting into my body. We then went on a short, but speedy walk. I then made some homemade Salt & Vinegar Chick Peas – holy yummy! I think I will top my salad with these tonight. I felt rushed last night because we had to make it to a concert last night, so my exercise wasn't as good as it could've been. And then I found myself noshing when I got home, with a big cup of camomille tea. I am heading to the gym today for a nice, long workout! And boy, am I looking forward to it. Tonight's dinner will be a big salad, with some cheese, basalmic, chick peas, grated carrot, and who knows what other goodies I will throw in there! 🙂
This morning started out with Overnight Oats (HUGE scoop of PB, I LOVE that stuff) like yesterday, except I got a picture before I dug in! I am so happy it's Friday and I am enjoying my coconut coffee as well. My goal is trying to drink 2 nalgenes of water before 3:30 today (That would be 64 oz of water). I need to get more water in my system! I am working on incorporating more healthy habits into my life. I've read that it takes 30 days to form a habit. Here are some habits I would love to form:
1) Drink more water.
2) Eat more whole grains, less refined products.
3) Keep active (do something active every day).
4) Continue to cook more homemade.
5) Keep workouts fun!
Slowly but surely, my body has felt so much better eating the way I have and exercise. I think it's been worth it so far! 😉

Test Kitchen Favorite: White Bean Posole
You've already learned about posole this week—now it's time to learn how to make it.
posole this week—now it's time to learn how to make it. This ancient Mexican stew is made with hominy (or dried corn) that's been soaked in a mineral lime bath. Here, it's combined with poblano pepper, tomatoes, and white beans for a nourishing weeknight feast.
When slicing spicy peppers, avoid touching the inside, and immediately wash your knife, cutting board, and hands afterward. Feel free to add less or omit it if you don't love heat.
1 red onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup hominy
1 cup white beans
1 poblano pepper
1 teaspoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 can diced tomatoes
2 corn tortillas
2 containers vegetable broth
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel onion and cut into small dice. Mince garlic. Rinse hominy and white beans. Rinse poblano pepper, halve lengthwise, and using a knife tip, discard seeds (see Recipe Tip). Cut into ¼-inch dice.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add poblano pepper, onion, and garlic and sauté until softening, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until bright red, about 1 minute. Stir in spice mix and cook until fragrant, 1–2 minutes.
Add diced tomatoes and their juices and vegetable broth to pot with vegetables. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add hominy and white beans, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until hominy is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
While posole simmers, cut each tortilla into 8 triangles and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle over ½ tablespoon olive oil, season with ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
Transfer tortilla chips to oven and bake until just crisp, 8-10 minutes.
Garnish posole with Cheddar. Scoop it up with tortilla chips and enjoy.

Arisen 3 Memory Requirements & Player Slots
- Memory Guideline
To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 3GB of memory. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 4GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade.
- Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of memory. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!

Aura overwhelming abjuration and transmutation; CL 20th; Slot none; Price —; Weight 30 lbs.
The Was Scepter can be wielded in combat as a +4 light mace. Upon command, it expands to a length of 6 feet and can be wielded as a double weapon that has a +4 enhancement bonus. The head deals 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage and can be used to make trip attacks, while the forked end deals 1d6 points of piercing damage. The wielder can use either end as the primary weapon, with the other becoming the off-hand weapon.
Though it is formidable in melee, the scepter's true value lies in its ability to allow its wielder to claim dominion over specific areas, people, reality, and even time. As a move action, the wielder can plant the scepter's forked end into the ground to activate a 120-foot aura of dominion. The aura remains active so long as the scepter remains there. The wielder can then concentrate to manipulate the aura to produce various magical effects. The wielder can produce only a single effect at a time, and each new effect requires a new action. The effects are as follows.
- At will, the wielder can use a standard action to manipulate the aura to emulate the effects of either sanctuary or protection against chaos. These effects include all willing creatures within the aura of dominion. If the wielder activates the sanctuary effect (DC 15), all allies within the aura are subject to the usual terms of the spell. If any allies break the spell's terms, the effect immediately ends for everyone affected.
- Three times per day as a standard action, the wielder can manipulate the aura to block any extradimensional travel within the aura of dominion. The area within the aura is treated as if under the effects of dimensional lock.
- Once per day as a standard action, the wielder can manipulate the aura to force extraplanar creatures entering the aura of dominion to return to their home planes immediately, as if targeted by a banishment spell. Up to 40 Hit Dice of creatures can be affected by this effect, and creatures subject to this effect can resist with a successful DC 21 Will save.
- Lastly, once per day as a standard action, the wielder can alter time within the aura of dominion. The wielder can use time stop and include a number of people in the effect equal to 1 + the user's Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Unwilling creatures can resist this effect with a successful DC 23 Will save. Those affected by the time stop can interact with each other as normal, and individuals are not restricted from leaving the aura of dominion while the effect is in place.
The Was Scepter can be destroyed only by a ruler of Osirion with true royal blood.

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service is plagued by persistent security breaches and a staffing crisis "that poses perhaps the greatest threat" to the agency's mission, according to a highly critical report released on Thursday by a House committee.
The bipartisan report, which took a year to complete, said that budget-related hiring freezes in recent years had left fewer officers and agents protecting the White House.
"Rather than swiftly bringing on new employees, U.S.S.S. has an extraordinarily inefficient hiring process which overburdens U.S.S.S. with low-quality applicants," the report said, using an abbreviation for the Secret Service.
Attrition is high, the report said, and the personnel who remain are "significantly overworked," with morale at "an all-time low."
The report, which was released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, detailed several episodes of misconduct and raised questions about whether the agency's directors had been forthcoming and truthful with Congress about its problems.
In one episode, the report said, the Secret Service failed to conduct background checks on armed private security guards from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta who were near President Obama during his visit there in 2014. One of the armed guards, who had a criminal history, rode on an elevator with Mr. Obama.
The chairman of the committee, Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah, a Republican, said in a statement that the agency had not changed its culture despite the series of embarrassing episodes in recent years.
"Morale is down, attrition is up, misconduct continues, and security breaches persist," Mr. Chaffetz said. "Yet its mission inexplicably continues to expand beyond the zero-fail mission to protect the president."
Despite replacing its director and many top officials since 2014, the agency still needs "strong leadership" to fix "the systemic mismanagement within the agency and restore it to its former prestige," Mr. Chaffetz said.
The panel's top Democrat, Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, said some of the blame may rest with Congress. The report said that Congress should ensure that the Secret Service has enough money to restore staffing to required levels.
"This bipartisan report warns that Congress cannot make some of the biggest budget cuts in the history of the Secret Service and expect no repercussions to the agency's staffing and its critical mission," Mr. Cummings said. "Reversing these problematic trends will require bipartisan and creative work by both the agency and Congress to ensure that the Secret Service is the lean, effective and respected organization we know it must be."

Shell Shock
Last updated 3 years ago
Social Studies Subject:
World War I Grade:
Shell shock was first reported to occur in Great Britian, who coined the term "shell shock." Since Great Britian was one of the only countries to really notice what was happening with their soldiers and see how they were being affected, their country has the most reported cases of shell shock. The total number of those treated in Great Britian was around 80,000. All countries dealt with the PTSD similar. If you had the disorder during the war, the commanders would send you right up the the front line as an "example" to other soldiers that you could fight through it. This potentially made the shock worse. If you continued to cower you were sent home from war to an asylum, electricly shocked or put to death for being weak. The countries didn't really take the disorder seriously till sometime after the war when the cases skyrocketed even higher.
World War I
"...everyone had a 'breaking point': weak or strong, courageous or cowardly - war frightened everyone witless..."
During WWI, it was said that 56% of soldiers died at war. The soldiers that survived however were left broken and damaged. Shell shock (or more commonly known as PTSD) occured in almost every WWI veteran. Shell shock is a phsycological disorder usually developed after dramatic events have taken place. For example, a war. There is no exact cure for shell shock but there is a series of therapy treatment that can help with the emotion toll.

Picture: Cast The film set for 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' filming on location. London, England - 27.09.10
Pirates Of The Caribbean movie-makers have been attacked by Dominica's native Carib Indians for portraying them as cannibals in the upcoming adventure sequel.
After talks with Disney producers, Carib Chief CHARLES WILLIAMS has expressed concern there is "a strong element of cannibalism in the script which cannot be removed".
The Caribs - who number around 3,000 of the 70,000 population on the Caribbean island - have always stringently denied any history of cannibalism among their people.
Williams says, "Our ancestors stood up against early European conquerors and because they stood up... we were labelled savages and cannibals up to today.
"This cannot be perpetuated in movies."
Filming of the sequel and a third film is due to begin on a number of Caribbean islands - including Dominica - in April (05).
Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will reprise the roles they played in the first film, which took $305 million (GBP162 million) at the box office after its 2003 release.14/02/2005 14:10

Brantley takes key step with Minors action
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Indians have done their best to simulate a game environment for Michael Brantley throughout the left fielder's comeback this spring. On Wednesday afternoon, Jason Kipnis helped out, adding some heckling from behind the backstop on Field 1 at Cleveland's complex.As Brantley stepped to the plate for
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Indians have done their best to simulate a game environment for
As Brantley stepped to the plate for the second of three at-bats in his Minor League game debut, Kipnis began booing his friend and teammate loudly. Brantley ignored Kipnis' taunts and slashed a pitch off the wall in left field for a two-run double.
• Spring Training info
"It just made me laugh," Brantley said with a smile. "I'll take all the cheers and boos I can get. It happens in the season, right?"
There is growing optimism about Brantley's health, both in terms of how his swing had looked this spring and in how the outfielder has been acting behind the scenes. That optimism remains guarded, however, because the Indians have been down this road before. Brantley has hit every milestone to date in his comeback from August surgery on his right biceps, but there remains no announced target date for his official return.
One year ago, Brantley was attempting to ramp up for Opening Day, following surgery on his right shoulder in November 2015. He made his Minor League game debut on March 17 last spring and then made his Cactus League debut on March 19. In that game, Brantley homered and had an outfield assist, making it look like he was back to form.
The rest of Brantley's turbulent 2016 campaign is well-documented. He appeared in only 11 games for the Indians, encountered multiple setbacks, met with an array of medical specialists and eventually underwent biceps tenodesis surgery on Aug. 15, ending his season.
That is why -- this time around -- Cleveland is not giving Brantley any target dates. No one within the Indians will speculate publicly about whether Opening Day is realistic for the outfielder.
"We're taking this day-to-day, as I'm sure you've heard once or twice," Indians general manager Mike Chernoff said. "With the complex injury that he had, [we're] making sure every benchmark he's continued to [progress]. We're not setting any limitations on it and we're not setting any projections on it.
"We feel like his body is going to dictate how he reacts to everything."
During Wednesday's Minor League contest -- between the Double-A affiliates of the Indians and Dodgers -- Brantley manned left field and ended 1-for-3 with a double and three RBIs. Brantley saw five pitches and took three swings, grounding out twice and lashing the opposite-field, two-run double. In the field, Brantley caught one ball and gloved a groundball single in his five innings of work.
"I felt good. It's another step in the process. It went well." --Brantley, on his Minor League game debut on Wednesday pic.twitter.com/YFnEAhYaO6— Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) March 15, 2017
"It's been a long time since we've seen a double off the wall," Chernoff said. "He looked really strong and good at the plate."
Following the game, Brantley headed inside the Tribe's complex to meet with the team's medical staff. Barring anything unexpected, the left fielder is scheduled to play in a second Minor League game on Saturday, with a Cactus League appearance not too far off in the future.
Brantley refuses to look too far ahead.
"I felt good," he said. "It's another step in the process."
Soon, there will be more than just Kipnis shouting at Brantley from the stands.
"I love it," said Chernoff, asked about Kipnis booing Brantley. "That was pretty funny."

Denise's Daring Daydreams for 10-19-17
Are you aware of the power of truth in your life? Where do you experience truth? Where do you experience something less than the truth and feel its effects. When are you a part of the problem?
Over the last two years we have focused on two main objectives as a spiritual community: 'We Choose Peace' and 'Being a #force4good'. It has become extremely obvious to me when I do not choose peace and when I do choose peace. It has also become obvious when I am being a force for good and when I am contributing to the problem. When I am contributing to the problem I am reminded of the story of Nicodemus. Nicodemus was a Pharisee who secretly believed in the power of the words of Jesus. He could hear and feel the truth spoken, but he had to spend time with Jesus at night, in the dark, because others in his tribe would have not approved of his new connection or changing beliefs. Therefore he could never admit his association with Jesus in the light of day.
When he finally asked Jesus, what must I do? Jesus spoke these words to him, "You will not inherit the kingdom of heaven unless you are born again." Nicodemus misunderstood the context from which Jesus was speaking. Jesus spoke in parables and metaphors quite often but Nicodemus thought Jesus meant he had to be born from his mother again. Jesus was saying to Nicodemus, you must change your thoughts and stand in the truth you know. Nicodemus left saddened by what he heard.
This story shows us the quiet pain that comes from not standing in truth and honoring what we know to be true – even if all we know to be true are the questions we carry inside ourselves. Each time we experience a chance at the truth, we make a choice to either stand in it, declare it to be so, or to hide what we know to be true. Many of us have chosen over the years to live in a False Self. We have made this decision for many reasons, many of which come from that place of fight or flight within us. If my family or my friends knew, if my coworkers knew, if the people I have been attending church with really knew, and the lists goes on and on. Very often we continue to behave in old ways, even though we know the truth and know that it can set us free.
I affirm you will join us at Unity of Music City on Sunday morning for The Power Of Truth. We will be continuing the story of Moses and will eventually find ourselves at the ultimate place of decision. Do I allow my past to win, or do I choose to stand in the power of truth and "part the seas of fear in my life?" Voices of Unity will be sharing special music with us. As always, they inspire us to think through the amazing music written and arranged by Dr. Judy Blackwelder.
"I've got the power, the power within. You've got the power that never will end. We've got the power, everybody say Amen. We've got the power of God." Dr. Judy
Have a beautiful and blessed weekend. Don't forget Circulation Day is Saturday. If you haven't brought items to share with the community, bring them on Friday or early Saturday morning.
Rev. Denise
Denise's Daring Daydreams for 10/12/17
|Over fourteen hundred years ago, Seng- Ts'An, a Chinese Sage, offered advice to anyone who was asking him how to deal with another. His advice was clear and direct but quite mysterious to most. His advice was simply, "Not two." To make sense of these two words, we have to take a look at all the things that were not said. The depth of what was not said: We are not separate and everything that divides us or separates us, removes us from what is sacred. This experience of separation also weakens our chances for true love, joy and peace and narrows the possibilities of creating the world we would desire.
Last evening we had 15 brave souls who chose to sit in circle together at Unity of Music City and begin discussions about what the First Amendment means and how we can better show up for each other even when we disagree. As I watched the interaction in the large group and in the small double circles, I began to see the growth that has happened with Unity of Music City (previously known as Unity Center for Positive Living) over the last 21 years. We are finally coming into our own understanding of who and what we are, what our role is in our community. As we have let go of fears that have kept us "imprisoned," we are also beginning to show up more and more authentic with each other.
Our congregation has stepped up this year to be involved in several community projects and we are beginning to be recognized as such. How exciting is that!? I hope that you will join us this Sundaymorning as we continue our journey of what is Sacred Activism and how are we moving gracefully into it as individuals and as a spiritual community. On Wednesday during Lunch Bunch we were reminded of our past mission statement:
Remembering Our Oneness With All Creation – We Awaken The World To Infinite Possibilities
Someone in our group said, "I'm not sure we were spiritually mature enough or ready for that statement when we used it as our mission statement". I agreed. What I will say is that as intentions and visions go, we created that statement 12 – 15 years ago. It's kind of like buying a coat for a child that is two sizes too big, knowing that they it will one day fit or even possibly become too small.
I believe we are at the place where this mission statement is who we are. Actually the coat is fitting even though some of us are still a bit skeptical because we kept it in the closet for soo long, we forgot it was there. Maybe it's time we pulled it out, dusted it off and remembered why we came.
I hope you join us on Sunday morning as we look at "Beyond Us and Them". We will also be picking up on the second 40 years of Moses' life. The part where he stepped into his purpose (although a bit begrudgingly). Our own Nancy Deckant will be performing some beautiful songs to assist us in looking a bit deeper into our issues of oneness and separation. Can we really remember our oneness will all creation?
Ram Dass
Have a blessed day,

The BPS workshop on transitions in psychology was an excellent opportunity to meet with psychology academics and teachers and discuss how we can make a smoother transition from school to university and to the world of employment. Here I have included some of the interesting points that were raised during Julie Hulme's and Peter Reddy's presentations, as well as from the discussion with other attendees.
Transitions can be exciting but also very challenging. Students face substantial difficulties at the beginning of their degree and there is often a gap between students' expectations and reality. For example, students are told that they will need to become independent learners at university, but they often don't have a good understanding of what that means. Some of them appear to expect that the lecturer will tell them which book chapters to read, and they will go away and read it and all will be fine. They soon realize that there is not as much hand-holding as there is at school, nor a predefined narrow curriculum. Another typical example of the gap between expectations and reality is the amount of statistics and research methods that psychology students have to go through. And of course there are many differences in terms of teaching and assessment between the two types of education. For example, A-level students are not required to write essays, which explains why students tend to struggle with essay writing when they first arrive to university.
It appears that nothing can fully prepare the prospective students for university study. Not surprisingly, the first year is the most precarious for dropping out of the degree. Apparently around 8% of first students drop out and around 40% have considered it. Ethnic minorities and mature students are higher at risk.
So how can we make the transition from school to university smoother and reduce the high drop-out rate for the first-year students? Social networks are crucial. Support from family and friends is a strong protective factor. It is also very important that students establish a new supportive network of friends at university. Students should ideally feel part of the community of psychology that includes lecturers, students, receptionists, technicians,everybody involved in running the department. To promote a sense of community, departments tend to organize social events out of the curriculum. Although these can be successful and effective, there are not always inclusive. For example, evening events that include alcohol might not be well-attended by mature students with families and/or those not drinking alcohol due to religious reasons. Apart from face-to-face events, Facebook groups for first years students to join can be created, where students can exchange ideas about their subject matter and feel part of the psychology community. Vertical tutoring can also provide support; advanced students mentoring less advanced students can prepare them for what lies ahead and give them valuable insights into university study. This is something that is about to start here at psychology at Oxford Brookes.
Communication between teachers and lecturers is paramount. This can be done through BPS meetings – such as this one! They could also collaborate to create more effective events that might help the transition from school to university, such as induction for first year students. At the moment the induction typically lasts a week, and students are mainly asked to attend a variety of talks given by university staff. Perhaps a longer, more inclusive and active induction can be arranged during the summer before the first years start university, in which prospective students get involved in projects. Furthermore, lecturers and teachers could collaborate to deliver lectures at the schools. Another idea is peer observation between lecturers and teachers, so that they have first-hand experience of what each other's job entails. One of the important differences between teachers and lecturers is that teachers have a prescribed curriculum while lecturers can create their own materials and assessment. As a result, different psychology departments have a different focus and specialization. It is important that teachers are aware of that so that they direct their pupils to the psychology course that is right for them. University websites could become more accessible to help teachers and pupils in that respect. Other ideas suggested were that university students could become mentors in schools and pupils could help with university research as research assistants.
Julie Hulme also noted that teaching could be more inclusive for first year students. Their prior learning and experience is not always acknowledged; academics often feel that students should 'unlearn' what they learned at school. However, building on what students have already learned could be more helpful for the students. Furthermore, assessment of the students' knowledge before the degree starts and giving support to those prospective students that have considerable gaps in their knowledge could make the transition to university much smoother and give all students a good baseline before they start their university degree. Finally, Julie noted that the whole degree is in fact a time of transition, and students can find the transition from one academic year to the next very challenging. Hopefully they can draw from their experience of transitioning from school to university, to help them deal with future transitions. Change is difficult, but it is a fact of life and we must all somehow learn to deal with it.
In the happy event that students have completed their degree, a further question arises: how well-prepared are they for the world of employment? Unfortunately, Peter Reddy noted, we can't fully prepare them for what lies ahead. And, anyway, is this what the university should be about? Should it be about just providing technical skills to help you do a certain job, or should the main focus on cultivating understanding of a certain area of knowledge? Even if some of us, including Newman (1958), agree with the second option, the issue of a smoother transition from university to employment still remains.
Here are some practical suggestions: Some institutions such as Aston University in Birmingham organize regular alumni events, in which current students can discuss with alumni about possibilities of employment after the degree. VESPR organized such an event, and it was intriguing to see what the Oxford Brookes alumni have been up to. Some departments also ask students in their first year to write an essay about their strengths and weaknesses and reflect on whether certain careers would be suitable for them. Such an activity early on can make student aware of what might be the best option for them. A lot of psychology students want to become clinical psychologists, but is this the right thing for them? Does it suit their character, their skills, their talents?
Furthermore, some universities organize career boot camps, where they offer graduates that have not landed on a job some brief training to help boost their chances to get a job. Other universities offer work placements to undergraduate students as part of their degree. Placements are important as the student learns to be part of a professional community and can start reflecting on how to be a professional and how to present themselves professionally. Students that are studying for a degree that doesn't include placements could potentially take up voluntary placements by contacting local organizations and charities. It is interesting to note that many students opt to do a Master's after they finish their undergraduate degree. At this point careful consideration is needed as to what they aim to achieve with it. Is it to go on to a PhD, is it studying for its own sake, or would it lead to a certain job? Peter also mentioned vocational programs in Sweden that appear to ease transition to employment. The list goes on.
With our VESPR project we hope to help with transitions within the undergraduate degree, as well as with the transition from university to employment. Our recent alumni event was very well received and hopefully gave some inspiration to the current students about what they want to do next. We were certainly inspired by the amazing talks by the alumni! We hope VESPR will enhance the sense of belonging to the psychology community for the students, even after they have flown the university nest and embarked in their professional adventure.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Initiative of the Year (NEW)
This award recognises best practice in project delivery. We are looking for initiatives used on UK or overseas projects that are seeking to raise the bar and serve as exemplars to the industry. These projects do not have to be complete; what is required is evidence that the project is tackling the specific initiative in a new and innovative way and that its positive impact can be measured or quantified.
Because projects may not be complete, shortlisted candidates will be interviewed by a panel of our judges, selected for their expertise in this area.
This award seeks to recognise project teams that see the value in driving equality, diversity & inclusion in the construction industry and have rolled out a project specific initiative that has been widely embraced across all companies involved. Judges will look for project teams that can:
- Provide evidence of ED&I collaboration outside of existing JVs and supply chains
- Provide evidence that companies have actively shared practices with one another, as opposed to one company producing a brilliant initiative that they then do not help spread to the wider community
- This sharing could be by any means, such as presentations or online platforms, attendance at focus groups or lean-ins, publication of articles detailing their initiatives or actively working together, but ideally should be beyond a single company's supply chain
Submission details (max 900 words)
- A precis version of the full name of the initiative and the project it has been applied on as it may appear in Awards marketing material (no more than eight words)
- The full and proper name of the initiative and the project it has been applied on, and a brief description of what the initiative is, with a focus on the impact (100 words max)
- A fuller written description of the key reason why this initiative should be considered for this award, which pays attention to as many of the criteria listed above as is appropriate. Please remember to give clear reasoning and evidence as to why this initiative is exceptional (max 800 words)

Despite the fact that it rarely snows in Paris or Miami, both cities are about to become covered in white thanks to two chic stores: Le Bon Marché and The Webster Miami. The two teamed up to launch "Le Mois de Blanc," a vast collection of white items—encompassing women's fashion and accessories, men's wear, home, and beauty—created by more than 50 designers, including Dior, Balenciaga, Vuitton, Givenchy, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander Wang. While the beauty category is relatively modest compared, the names are certainly chic: Kure has created a nail polish; Byredo is launching Blanche, a white floral perfume for the hair; and Frederic Malle created a new fragrance, which is bound to stir up some competition with his other wintery scent, L'eau d'Hiver.
