The first annual Scottish national event for bird and wildlife watching enthusiasts has been announced for 19 – 20 May 2012.
Bringing together the bird and wildlife watching community, the Scottish birdfair will celebrate the country's unique birds and wildlife.
Held at Hopetoun House, a stately home, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, the event will be a focal point for all things birds, wildlife and natural environment.
The new event in the nature calendar hopes to attract more than 5,000 bird and wildlife watchers from across the country.
Bird and wildlife watching is one of the fastest growing hobbies in Scotland
Sarah McDowell. Organiser
All funds raised from the event will go to dedicated Scottish conservation.
Activities and events for all ages covering a wide range of birding and wildlife topics including photography, introduction to bird ID, seabird cruises on the Firth of Forth as well as gardening for wildlife will all be on offer.
Event goers will also have the opportunity to 'try before they buy' from Scotland's largest range of birding and nature related clothes, holidays, optics and more.
Scottish Birdfair organiser, Sarah McDowell, said: "Bird and wildlife watching is one of the fastest growing hobbies in Scotland and around the world. Bands like Elbow, Doves, and British Sea Power all cite birds and bird watching as the inspiration for some of their songs, and celebrities such as Jarvis Cocker, Bill Bailey and Alex Zane have all helped to lend a new, cool aspect to this fantastic hobby.
There will be something for everyone at the Scottish Birdfair from the most dedicated bird enthusiasts to garden wildlife watchers."
Tickets cost £12/£10 and can be purchased at www.scottishbirdfair.org.uk.

I love the name Nan, don't you?
One of my favorite blogs, Creature Comforts, does a daily post, titled "Inspiration Daily," with different pictures and photos. It's always a lovely, visually appealing start to my day. On June 16, I actually starred this post in my Reader because I loved the print by Nan Lawson. I did some research on Nan and found her pretty Etsy shop. I'm a sucker for print shops, so per usual, I'm highlighting my great finds around the Nan Lawson Etsy shop.
"I'm Not a Hipster" ($16)
"Retro Fan" ($16)
"MiMi's Glasses" pen and ink ($10)
A Lucy! "Tiny Terrier" ($16)
"Tied" ($16)
"This Too Shall Pass" ($75)
Kim permalinkJuly 21, 2010 3:57 pm
Did the site give some hint as to why the "This Too Shall Pass" print is $75 and the rest are below $20? Is it a lithograph? a Limited Edition? on Acid Free paper? Much larger in size?

Frank Bret remembers the Gestapo officer, unyielding and proud, as if it were yesterday. It was the late 1930s, and Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi Germany.
"We plan to be here for 1,000 years," the officer told him. And he and his men refused to give Bret — under compulsory service in the Czech air force — an exit visa.
When Bret fled to Poland, and then to France, seeking to be of military service, the German occupation followed him. He then made his way across Europe, arduous travel that included sleeping under bridges, getting arrested, and stealing away aboard a ship bound for Great Britain. Eventually, he became a bomber pilot for the British Royal Air Force.
There are other adventures, too: Bret's stay in India, during the struggles that led to the creation of Pakistan; meeting a "beautiful creature" at a swimming club in Riverside, Calif. (his wife of 68 years, Elizabeth); and the couple's work in the Executive Service Corps, which sent experts like Bret on interesting and sometimes risky international development trips.
Bret held high positions in the hospitality industry, including serving as the president of Disneyland Hotel, and what he enjoyed most was developing employee talent. "I always felt I should do something important with my life," he says. And when it came time to celebrate Frank's 100th birthday in 2017, the Brets gave it some thought. Have a big party? Go on a cruise?
"No," says Bret. "Those things are all fleeting." Instead, the couple decided to create an endowed fund for eye research at UW Medicine. The Brets are particularly interested in macular degeneration, a condition that has left Frank Bret nearly blind.
"I wanted to do something that would mean something," says Bret. "People coming behind me will benefit."

Effective leaders trust their hunches and listen for synchronistic answers to their problems in the world around them. Call it "gut" or "inner knowing," intuition is a powerful tool and ally for leadership. It serves you well in all areas of your life.
I remember an incident in my family years ago that illustrates this. As a boy, I had a hidden fort in the rafters of our attic. To reach it, I had to scramble along the rafters on my knees until I reached a section of plywood that covered the rafters and served as the floor of my hideout. One day, my mother was at a neighbor woman's house and had no idea, of course, where I was.
I squatted along the attic rafters, I suddenly slipped and fell into the insulation and right through the floor of the attic and the ceiling of the upstairs bedroom below me. As I fell, I hit my head on one of the rafters and came crashing down into a heap on the bedroom floor, temporarily knocked unconscious..
Little did I know, at that moment my mother felt a rush of panic and told the neighbor woman something was wrong. She dashed out of the house and ran home. Without even hearing a sound from me, she ran up the steps to the upstairs bedroom and found me lying on the floor, pride a bit wounded but otherwise okay. To this day I wonder how she knew! From three houses away, she felt my panic and knew what to do as she rushed home to find me. The power of intuition is truly remarkable. It is not possessed solely by mothers but is a natural gift we all possess. We must develop it and learn to trust in it, through good times and difficult ones.
Do you have a similar experience to share?

Fireside Chat with Chi Huang, MD
Here at Hencove, we are fortunate to work with many businesses in the healthcare industry craft and share their brand stories. To be effective, we rely on a deep understanding of the industry and competitive landscape. And to stay sharp, we're constantly reading, listening and asking questions.
Recently, we sat down with Chi Huang, MD, Associate Chief Medical Officer at Lahey Hospital – Burlington in Massachusetts to get his thoughts on the healthcare industry. Officially, Chi is a clinician and hospital administrator; unofficially, he is an aspiring entrepreneur and healthcare innovator.
The Reasoning Behind Value-Based Care
Chi has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has seen the transition from fee-for-service to value-based care, and has observed the challenges organizations face as a result. A decade ago, issues like quality improvement and patient safety were not top-of-mind for healthcare executives, but today they are front-and-center. The shift in healthcare economics has brought renewed attention to these issues from the boardroom to the bedside.
But, the change in emphasis from volume to value has helped people managing hospitals recognize the areas for improvement in their facilities. Chi recognized the reality of the dangers of a hospital; patients should be treated for acute needs in hospitals and transferred as appropriate to post-acute care or home care. This approach creates more space for personalized, attentive and coordinated care to help ensure patients have better outcomes—a sure-fire way to improve quality and lower costs.
The Outlook for Value-Based Care
Value-based care is by no means settled, and Chi believes the key to even further improvement lies in population health. Being able to identify patients that need the care most, and follow along as that changes, unlocks efficiencies and allows healthcare providers to make smarter decisions about where to invest resources.
Chi believes the "value" of value-based care will not be solely wrapped up in the patients, but also the clinicians and caregivers. Within the next decade, we could see a better balance between the specialists, general internists, primary care providers, advanced practitioners, nurses, and health/wellness coaches. Currently, the work of specialists is perceived to be of greater financial value than the work of other physicians in the industry.
Hurdles Facing Clinicians
Though doctors go into healthcare to help people, they sometimes get the short end of the stick. Chi noted that some of the biggest challenges facing clinicians are:
• Burnout – Many physicians are overworked and undervalued. In 2012, the burnout rate among doctors was 45%, and it has increased to 54% since then. Depression is also a common result of caring for so many others—about 39% of doctors suffer from depression.
• EHRs – These medical record systems get a lot of flack in the healthcare industry, but Chi thinks they truly are a good thing; at least in purpose. However, he is quick to point out that in their current forms, most of the platforms are lacking and need significant advancements before they truly enhance a clinician's job, and not become a hindrance as they are today.
What About the Patients
Like nearly all clinicians, the best part of Chi's work is, "Speaking with patients and learning about their life."
One of his biggest concerns for patients is that they don't always have access to the best information to make care decisions. "Patients today have access to more information, but not necessarily the right information." For example, in shopping around for the best doctors, patients often turn to rating systems that liken themselves more to popularity contests than systematic reviews. And, "Dr. Google" can often do more harm than good in providing clear answers for patients.
Resources for Clinicians
It seems like every day a new company launches whose mission is to improve care, the patient experience, or enhance a clinician's ability to be effective. Chi believes the most useful types of platforms are:
• Predictive analytics for population health – The value of knowing which patients to focus on and where to concentrate resources makes predictive analytics helpful to healthcare as a whole, not just individual systems.
• Patient leakage and tracking tools – Solutions that help doctors figure out where their patients are and help reduce the number of out-of-network care events can greatly help them improve quality and reduce costs.
• Telehealth – Particularly useful to help with healthcare access in rural communities. Additionally, wearables provide a lot of useful data—providers just have to know what to do with it.
We are grateful that Chi took time out of his schedule to chat with us and are glad to share his insights with others.
Dr. Chi Huang is the Associate Chief Medical Officer of Lahey Hospital - Burlington and Chairperson of the Department of Hospital Medicine at Lahey Health. He currently has leadership and oversight of the majority of in-patients at Lahey Hospital Burlington, Lahey Hospital Peabody, Beverly Hospital and Addison Gilbert Hospital.

My daughter turned 12 just a few weeks ago and the unthinkable happened… I got dumber. I knew it would happen. I had hoped that maybe my sweet, innocent baby would skip the "my parents are so stupid" phase, but I was only kidding myself, for I too was once in her shoes. My parents used to have a sign on the fridge that said …. GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING! My brother and I mocked them and their lame sign. Stupid parents think they are sooooo funny! Then I moved out and darn it if they didn't get instantly smarter!
I saw the warning signs about a year ago. The dramatic "and then she said, and then I said" conversations started occurring. The long drawn out stories about who wronged who and who wasn't friends with who this week. And the huffing and stomping… OH that huffing and stomping. When that itty-bitty little word that starts with an N and ends with an O is muttered, all around had better take cover. Overly dramatic sighing and huffing, followed by stomping away and pouting.
Why??? Why so early??? I knew I would have teenage girl dramatics. I had hoped they would hold off for a while longer. I worked to hard with her all those early years to be this stupid already! Please, someone wake me up in about 10 years when I'll be smart again!

Have you ever tried so hard to watch a movie but you just couldn't pay attention to what's happening? Comedian James Mullan and I ran into this problem while watching H-E Double Hockey Sticks, a Will Freidle comedy so profoundly mediocre that it takes amazingly crazy town banana pants material and makes it, dare I say, hellish.
This episode is brought to you by our guest pretending to wear headphones, creating horrific echo on the audio track that I mostly was able to fix. Mostly.

Every time when we travel somewhere for a while, we need to pack all the necessary belongings we may need. But there's always something we forget to put into our luggage and we may need to deal with some headaches because of this. It's time to start getting organized for my moving out from the UK, on with my life, and abroad to Iceland!
Goodbye, England! Welcome…
2 months have already passed in this year and I feel like I'm just moving around aimlessly in one place.! It's already enough of this inactivity and time to do some progress over here! No, not exactly here… somewhere else… in a new city… new country… – Let's seize the time left of this year and move abroad again!

My Travel Bucket List #5
A lot of us has the feeling of wanderlust like 'I've seen this ad at a travel agency about this amazing place, I need to go there!' or 'I read so much about this country since I was young and I want to see it with my own eyes!'. Oh, yeah… see, hear, smell, touch, feel – experience the whole the journey!

Here's what he had to say about fear, doubt, making movies, and being successful.
On His Creative Process
Darren: "The initial creative team was me, Eric Watson the producer, and Sean [Gullette, the star of the film]... it was just sort of jigsaw puzzle of how I write. I just sort of take all these different pieces of experiences that I have had and stories that I've heard and sort of try and mix them together and create a image out of all the different of ideas...It all started with one image, which was Sean standing in front of a mirror bald digging into his head with an Exacto blade. Everything grew out of that."
|Before he started writing the script for Pi, Darren put down six rules to keep in mind:
Darren: "It's always a challenge when you have very little money because everything has to be stolen, borrowed, or bartered. At one point, we had 54 cents in the bank, and we realized we weren't going to be able to make the moive unless we got some money...That was the seed of the idea to ask all of our friends, family, enemies for $100 each with the promise that if the film made money they'd get $150 back. We ended up raising most of our $60,000...We called it the scheme to end all schemes."
On Dealing With Doubt
Darren: "Well we were very nervous. I mean we always knew that we would pull off the film and finish it but we were nervous that the film wouldn't get distribution, wouldn't make any money, and that we would have to face all those people [who had lent us money]. But we just knew that we'd have to make the film, so we went for it...I put enough leverage on myself that I had to finish the film, but of course there were moments of doubt."
On Commitment
|Sean Gullette, a talented designer as well as the star of Pi, created a multi-faceted Pi web site.
Check it out.
When He Knew He Might Make It
Darren: "Our big moment was when we first screened our film for Sundance. It was a Sunday morning at 10:30 am, after everyone was partying all night on Saturday, and we had a standing ovation. So at that point I knew we had something, with that had some type of emotional response... you know, that's all we ever to have happen; It was great for us."
On Newfound Notoriety
Darren: "It's no slide. There's a lot of work to be done. I'm making another film now and its just all of the challenges, you know all the other fame, and all the other stuff is just bull. It's all stuff that gets in the way of your work, and you just sort of have to ignore it and do good work. The only reason I'm out there selling the film is because the media likes this, likes to put the director on the pedestal. But for me the major thing is not having some type of recognition in the film world, but just being able to make movies."
On His Creative Process
Darren: "I didn't really decide to be a filmmaker until college. When I was at Harvard my roommate was an animator and he would end the year with a movie and I would end the year with a bunch of papers, and I was like 'There is something wrong here.' So I tried to do filmmaking, and I actually combined a lot of different things that I enjoyed doing. So I continued doing it and it was probably the only thing I ever got an A in at Harvard."

|Review #218
From Oloroso sherry casks comes this Revival, which is discontinued (for now). This is bottled in 2015 so let's start by doing some math (don't worry, it won't be boring). GlenDronach was mothballed from 1996 to 2001, so if this whisky should be 15 years old, it would have to be from 2000. GlenDronach was (as I write) mothballed in 2000, so the whisky will have to be at least 4 years older than the 15 years the write on the label. Conclusion: Go buy these bottles, because when the Revival relaunches in 2018/2019, the content will probably be dominantly 15 years old!
Very sherry-like, yet very light in the smell! After some minutes some more dried fruits comes to mind and some very well balanced oak appears. Plums in the end. Ripe plums and some hints of dark berries.
Nice heavy Oloroso influence in the taste. Tannins, dates, raisins and hints of coffee. The dried fruits, the raisins in particular, stays in the mouth for quite a while in the finish with some sugary notes covering the mouth. Overall, the dried fruits is just working nicely from start to finish. I will rate this whisky 88/100 (22/22/22/22).

A dental crown is a type of dental restoration that completely covers up and protects the remnants of a tooth or dental implant post. Such a restoration is necessary and recommended when a big cavity destroys a large part of a tooth and leaves it where it could easily fracture if it was filled instead. With a dental crown, a dentist can restore the strength and shape of the tooth and provide a cosmetically appealing tooth-like appearance.
Crowns can be fabricated from a number of materials types, includes the following:
Stainless steel. Used for short-term restoration, stainless steel crowns are metal shells that come pre-formed. They are usually used on primary teeth in children or as temporary while a permanent crown is being fabricated. They adequately protect the tooth or underlying filling while a better crown is made from a superior material. For children's baby teeth, a stainless steel crown may be used to fit over a tooth to protect it from breaking down further and to hold the space while permanent teeth grow in. In this situation, the primary tooth will fall out naturally, and the stainless steel crown will come with it.
Metal Alloy. Made from gold and other precious alloys like platinum or palladium and a base metal that's non-precious like chromium or nickel, these can vary in hardness and in strength. Gold crowns are the easiest to fit, but they're also the softest. When non-precious metals are used, the underlying tooth can become black as metal leaches into the tooth. This can also cause a metallic taste. One advantage of metal alloy crowns is that they can be made to be very thin and therefore preserve as much of the natural tooth underneath as possible. And since metal crowns aren't as hard as porcelain, they don't cause as much wear on surrounding teeth. They don't look like natural teeth, however.
Porcelain Fused To Metal or PFM. The most common and widely used of all dental crowns, these have the underlying strength of metal as well as the beauty of porcelain. Either precious or non-precious metals or some combination can be used. They can be made to exactly match the coloring of surrounding natural teeth or other restorations. Porcelain will cause wear on surrounding teeth, however, and the porcelain can chip or crack with age and wear. Also, a dark line can become visible at the gum line as the gums recede away from the crown. This can become a cosmetic issue if the crown is on a front tooth.
All Ceramic, All Porcelain or All Resin. The best looking crowns available, these all-one-material crowns look more natural than any other type. And since there's no metal, they're safer and not a problem for patients with metal allergies. In many cases, they're not quite as strong as dental crowns that include metal, however. They also wear down opposing teeth more than metal crowns, but there's never a telltale black line since there's no metal underneath to show. When a crown is on a front tooth, this is the best and highest-quality choice.
Now that you know more about dental crown materials, you're better prepared to make a smart choice for your restoration needs.

Surrender to the many flags of Freaklandia.
I am a weird person. And I don't mean weird in that precious, "But everyone's unique!" kind of way. No. I'm talking about a level of weird that sometimes, in private, I'll do or say something that takes even me aback. Like, "Damn, girl; what the fuck?"
Granted, I've become very desensitized to myself, so the above occurrences are few and far in between. It's actually somewhat refreshing when I do something self-shocking, because it's an indication I'm still a-growing, still a-changing. Or whatever.
But also, utilizing the corny wisdom I've been gifted with aging, I've slowly learned that "weird" is just a social construct in the same way that "normal" is. Both of them are made up bullshit concepts. So while in the past I've chided myself for my bizarre little ticks or habits, of which there are many, I inspect them now and think, "Well, why exactly are they weird? Why do they make me weird? Why do other behaviors make other people more normal?" They don't. People are just people.
So go ahead: surrender to that fantasy of streaking at a Mets game. Live your life! Let that freak flag fly!
I take that back, don't do that—that's poor advice. You will most likely get arrested.

Amplify Wines are Cameron and Marlen Porter, a husband and wife team born and raised in Santa Barbara County. The exploration, and elevation, of their growing region has been their life's work. They first bonded over a shared love for wine and music, and Amplify is a natural extension of this marriage between their two greatest passions. As winemakers, they seek to amplify the voice of site and enhance the most singular characteristics of a given vineyard, marrying a sense of place with a sense of style. They believe in: native yeast fermentations; neutral vessels for fermentation and aging; no additions of any kind except for minimum SO2 in the bottling process; and farming that seeks to establish a healthy ecosystem, enhancing and supporting the natural characteristics of a given place. They embrace the happy accident, letting intuition guide their hand, with their creative spirit and palates as their primary tools. Join us as they pour their lively rosé of Counoise with hints of pink grapefruit and named after Wire's first LP "Pink Flag"; their white blend of early picked Viognier and Muscat so as to avoid higher residual sugars thus showing the masculine and feminine qualities and hence naming it after Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald, "Duke & Ella"; and their Carignane whose delicate, lithe, qualities with just a hint VU meters in the red!
Tasting is free and available anytime from 4:00 - 6:00. Must be at least 21 years old.

China aims to create a comprehensive environmental monitoring system by 2030 in its efforts to boost citizens' health and raise life expectancy, the government has said.Pollution has been identified as one of the biggest threats to public health in China, with smog in the northern region blamed for higher rates of cancer, respiratory disease and premature death. Widespread soil and water contamination have also caused health hazards.
Air pollution killed more than 1 million people in China in 2012 alone, the World Health Organisation said in a study published in September.
The State Council, or cabinet, said it would set up the "strictest environmental protection system" to oversee construction, noise and atmospheric pollution, soil and water quality and the rural environment.
The new system would identify high-risk pollution zones and establish a unified disclosure platform for environmental information, the cabinet said in its "Healthy China 2030" plan, published late on Tuesday.
It said China aimed to raise average life expectancy to 79 years by 2030, up from 76.3 years in 2015, and would also work to tackle a gender imbalance by setting up a "complete birth monitoring system".
It aims to strengthen public sanitation and provide clean drinking water, among the rural health issues tackled.
It will also seek to cut infant mortality, traffic deaths, smoking and alcohol abuse, work to improve cancer survival rates, rein in early deaths from chronic diseases and step up intervention for psychological illnesses, it added.
To help reduce health risks, it would also aim to raise the number of active participants in sport to 530 million by 2030, up from 360 million in 2014, besides promoting the "leading role" of Chinese medicine in disease treatment.

Key performers make organizations great. Any organization without key performers will not survive in the marketplace very long. Such organization will fail to be team oriented, fail to be highly productive, fail in quality assurance, and fail to reach and persuade customers to leave the competition.
However, an organization which selects and grows key performers will rise to the top of the marketplace and position themselves to enter the fortune 500 legacies.
The work and dedication of key performers will move an organization toward greatness. They possess a variety of unique mindsets that will not allow an organization to stagnate or go under in the marketplace.
9 Mindsets of Key Performers
Team Spirit-key performers are passionate about team spirit. They encourage others to be the best at what they do. Their contagious spirit raising the morale of other and inspire great confidence. No team member is left behind.
Since of Ownership-the thought of not having any authority doesn't faze key performers. They treat the organization like it is their own. If there are problems, they study the situation and recommend solutions if they cannot solve the problem themselves.
Dedication to Excellence-mediocre is the enemy to those whose performance exceeds the normal. Their passion for perfection is too strong to settle for "good enough." Organizations with such people will keep quality a priority.
Embrace challenges-key performers run toward challenges instead of running away from them. They would rather fail than cower in fear. Such people will take on all organizational challenges with an optimistic view of the outcome.
Highly productive-great performers get things done. The thought of leaving things undone unnerves them so much that they are willing to sacrifice weekends to complete a project.
Competence-mastering their craft and refining their skills and talents are major priorities of key performers. They always believe that they can get better.
Creativity-key performers are always thinking about new ways of doing things. They love thinking outside of the box. Great performers look for commonality in uncommon data, activities, and situational factors.
Character-a sense of honesty and integrity in work and relationships are major commitments of great performers. They know that what goes around comes around. They accept their team members and treat them with the utmost respect.
Communication-maintaining a verbal connection with each of their team member is very important to key performers. They understand that any communication lapse can spell trouble in the organization. Therefore, they are always mindful of the state of others and the challenges that fellow team members might be facing.
The Way to Excellence
Organizations with these types of key performers cannot fail to excel in the marketplace. Fortune 500 companies are often populated with these types of employees and teams. With such dynamic people running the organization the chances of failure are slim. Accelerated growth, enhanced market share and rising revenue are the rewards of an organization that is populated with great performers.

No need to declare tax evasion, nationality, crime to be MP
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Following the amendments made in the Election Act 2017 in the name of electoral reforms, there would be no need to declare if the aspiring and incumbent public representatives were tax evaders, loan defaulters, facing criminal charges or dual nationals.
As many as 19 declarations on oath including tax record, profession, education and loan which were compulsory for a candidate in the past have been deleted in the newly-passed law, Elections Act 2017.
The declarations deleted from the Election Act 2017 also include nationality of the aspiring candidates, properties, income and cases registered against them.
Following the changes, a path has been paved to avert disqualification during the scrutiny of nomination papers or after becoming a lawmaker.
According to the documents obtained by the 92 News, the candidates would now be bound to provide property and income record.

Asking the Right Questions: How did America end up in this $#!+?
by symbiostasis
INSIGHTS from "Marijuana History" article and "The First & Last Days of the Drug War":
Anslinger (the head of the Narcotics Bureau in the 1930s-1950s) became obsessed with drugs as the quintessential symbol for fear within the heart of the American people at the time. Coming to the end of the Prohibition era, alcohol had been resurrected as legal from a failed attempt at prohibition, spawned by the Temperance Movement earlier in the last century. Even though this was made legal again as many public wide opinions toward alcohol were changed because the demand was so great and the illegal operations of speakeasies were so popular, the other narcotics were still scrutinized, fallen short from the public eye overshadowed by alcohol. When Anslinger came on board, he was determined to eradicate all narcotics from the American system, including eventually marijuana, even though these drugs were used by medical practitioners for patient treatment.
Drugs became a game of who to blame, the sensationalist media had a scapegoat to rattle on all things drugs (marijuana) that made you insane and caused one to murder or commit suicide. This was the age of newspapers and crime where the public and of racist tendencies, a much different time than now.
INSIGHTS from Energy Control and Doctor X's Drug Testing lab in Spain:
from their lab that works with the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and agreement with police to supply data about dangerous drugs to broadcast… (assumption) does this effect create a better society that enables more purer substances to be made? [Think Europills from Europe i.e. "DanceSafe Article"] are very potent and strong even compared to American standards. The fact of warning people on the streets which pills are laced or dangerous ensures buying effectively and safely in an unregulated market, but what kind of effect has it had on Europe?
The World of the Deep Web: an interesting tangent and investigation into the deep space of the internet in lieu of sites like Silk Road, which in effect the deep web or sites like Silk Road represent a type of lawless open anonymous space where anything goes and no one is judged… a mix of chaos, anarchy and liberalism at the heart. The deeper I dig into the drug world, I start to realize how synonymous drugs are as manifestations of ideas. So thus laws being the control of drugs, our ideas are monitored and controlled under this meta- surveillance.
Quality Control and DIY Policing within the Unregulated Market: So who produces these? The chemists and underground labs… It must take a mass operation, like the mafia or cartel, to supply our demands of course. Yet for those who are purists (i.e. Pokeballs manufacturer, Shulgin, Huxley) who care about quality at least are the ones set as an example of who to profile to catch [Bunk Police's "What's In My Baggie?" Documentary]. Their arrests made public and broadcasted or even just to be made an example of – and rightly so maybe because individuals are easier to catch than a shadowy organization, the real criminals. The lack of quality control in this unregulated market and the consequences of the drug war have created an imbalance of who to catch and what to look for – discouraging purity and education and (to bump up the arrest quota) encouraging big operations to lace or mix their ounces with poison or other unknown substances, which can surely lead to death.
This is the difference of today's drugs than those in the 60s. Even then, lsd was stronger and very pure, compared to our weak and adultered variant today. (Maybe that's why the hippies had such a profound holistic movement compared to our raver- E driven culture content to escape into the pleasure world than create change in the real world, it comforts you rather than catapults you out of yourself as a disruptive force…) Today, it is not about that all encompassing experience or quality. Demand is demand no matter what form or use and supply channels are only getting more complicated and dangerous, hence all the safety organizations that have recently formed in the past 5 years to try and address these problems with a DIY type of policing and health movement. When users grow and the demand for the high and pleasures of the mind are ever increasing, the need will only grow and become normal. It's time to approach this complex problem sensibly.

Sites offering free math worksheets abound on the Internet. So what should free math worksheets look like? Are you searching for worksheets that have lots of problems for paper_pencil completion? Or is the illusive long division worksheet your quest? Finding the answers to these questions depends largely on personal preferences...and
Budgeting Worksheet Tip #5: Goals_Based Most budgeting programs don't accommodate for your financial goals, they simply look back at the previous month to help you determine your spend for the current month. That is not good budgeting. If you have a cash flow problem, then it will just perpetuate into future months and you won't even realize it's happening. Furthermore, you are not creating a plan to achieve your goals. An excellent budgeting worksheet will accommodate for your financial goals and help you determine what you can afford or what it will take to meet those goals. It will take into account your income, current debt, expenses and savings to help you generate a plan to meet your goals.

The city's easy access to a variety of highways, including U.S. Highway 75, the President George Bush Turnpike and Interstate 635, makes the location a convenient one. It also means emergency responders can quickly reach a senior in the event of a medical crisis.
Major Medical Centers in Richardson
Among the more than 70 medical centers in and around Richardson are Baylor Richardson Medical Center and Methodist Richardson Medical Center. Baylor is a good general hospital with an emergency room in case of a crisis. Seniors might be interested in learning that Methodist has specialties in geriatrics and orthopedics.
Health South Rehabilitation Hospital is also conveniently located in Richardson.
Finding Assisted Living in Richardson
Among the many senior housing options in Richardson, you will find assisted living communities. This is an option that combines the best of both worlds for older adults: assistance and independence.
Residents in an assisted living community have their own private apartment or suite. This enables them to maintain their privacy. But they also have the peace of mind that comes from knowing caregivers are always nearby to help with toileting, bathing, dressing and more.
Families can expect to spend between $2,000 and $6,800 for assisted living in Richardson. The exact cost will depend upon the services and amenities provided, as well as the type and size of apartment.
Beyond price, another deciding factor for many families is location. Adult children often encourage aging parents to find a community that will make it easy to visit. The senior might also want to find a new home that is near a church like The Heights Baptist or synagogue like Congregation Beth Torah.
Memory Care Programs in Richardson
Finding a quality memory care program for a loved one with Alzheimer's often requires the assistance of an experienced senior care advisor. Our team has helped over 2,000 families find a senior housing solution for a loved one. It is how we've come to know each of the memory care programs in north Texas so well.
These specialized programs are dedicated to helping older adults with Alzheimer's or a related form of dementia live safe and happy lives despite their disease. There are more than 30 memory care programs in and around Richardson.
Families should plan to budget between $4,000 and $7,200 per month for care. If your senior loved one has co-existing health concerns beyond Alzheimer's disease, expect to pay toward the higher end of the range.
Residential Care Homes near Richardson
Another option for senior housing that residents in north Texas are fortunate to have is residential care homes. These group-style homes are attractive to seniors for many reasons including:
- Small, home-like community
- Fewer residents than assisted living communities
- All-inclusive pricing that is usually budget-friendly
- The variety and quality of food at each one tends to vary. Some places will offer a free lunch so that each family can try the food.
- Setup a one on one meeting with the director of nursing and be sure to "interview" them.
- If activities are important to your family member in the search, then try to make an appointment for your family member to attend some of them.
There are more than 30 of these homes in and around Richardson, Texas.
The price for a residential care community in Richardson can vary from just under $2,000 a month to almost $6,000.
Finding an Independent Living Community in Richardson
If you or the senior you love are primarily looking for a senior housing community that will free you up from household chores such as mowing the grass, painting the trim and keeping the appliances in good shape, this might be the type of community for you.
Independent living communities handle everything from trash pick-up to fixing the stove for residents. It gives seniors more time to travel, pursue hobbies and enjoy the grandkids.
Because the amenities at independent living communities vary so greatly, the price range is fairly broad. A simple apartment in a senior complex might be under $2,000 a month. An independent living villa that is part of an active, amenity-rich retirement village will be significantly more expensive.
Some meals, social activities and programs, light housekeeping and maintenance are all typically offered in some form at independent living communities. Others have a la carte services you can purchase if you would like additional support.
Let Us Help With Your Senior Housing Search

Our Personal Experience and How it Related to Richardson
With so many assisted living options in Richard, where do you even begin to choose? Many people are shocked to learn about the number of options that are available, but also how time consuming this task can be to families. I went through this experience with my mom in 2008, as I had to find her the best option as she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease when I was 26 years old. The average family doesn't know what to do, is very frustrated and extremely stressed. I had so many emotions going through my mind and went through this experience with a blindfold on. Even though I went through this at a young age, the average family doesn't want to think about having to find a senior living option for their parents or a family member.

5 tips to have a good summer camp
- Prepare your arrival
Tell the person who accommodate you when and where you come. Don't forget to charge your phone in order to be able to contact him/her if need be.
- Put the right things in your suitcase
That's better to come with your own sleeping bag. Take also your sneakers: if you want to be an active volunteer, that's better to wear comfortable shoes.
- Respect some basic rules
As well as the people who live and work in the Emmaüs structure, you must respect the others and their differences: violence, aggressiveness, discrimination will not be tolerated. You can't use alcohol or drugs in our structure.
- Participate to the activities
Emmaüs needs you to grow its collection, selection and sales activities and to lead solidarity actions. Your involvement will help to struggle against poverty and exclusion in France and worldwide.
- Do not hesitate to talk with the other people
Even if you come with friends, even if you're a little bit shy, the summer camps might enable you to meet the persons who are accommodated and who work at Emmaüs and other young people like you. We hope you will take the first step 😊

Investec (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited) – pre-close briefing statement Investec Limited Investec plc Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Incorporated in England and Wales Registration number 1925/002833/06 Registration number 3633621 JSE share code: INL LSE share code: INVP NSX share code: IVD JSE share code: INP BSE share code: INVESTEC ISIN: GB00B17BBQ50 ISIN: ZAE000081949 Investec (comprising Investec plc and Investec Limited) – pre-close briefing statement 15 March 2019 Investec is today hosting an investor pre-close briefing at 09:00 BST time/11:00 South African time, which will focus on developments within the group's core business areas for the financial year ending 31 March 2019. Strategic, operational, and financial overview of the year ending 31 March 2019 Approximately six months ago, the group announced its intention to simplify and focus its business in pursuit of disciplined growth over the long term. This process started with the announcement of the intention to demerge and separately list Investec Asset Management. Subsequently, the group has articulated a clear set of strategic priorities for both the Asset Management and Bank and Wealth businesses. The Bank and Wealth business is focused on a plan to enhance the effectiveness of its operating platform to better serve clients and deliver long-term shareholder returns. There are five key priorities: increasing discipline in capital allocation; managing the cost base for greater efficiencies; accelerating revenue growth; expanding connectivity across the organisation to more fully serve client needs; and bolstering digital capabilities. The Asset Management business is concentrating efforts on its existing offering: deepening and strengthening investment and client capabilities for the long term; scaling the offering through its global distribution model; and positioning for growth. The operating environment has remained challenging over the period. Global equity markets experienced a sharp decline at the end of the 2018 calendar year before showing some recovery. Economic growth has been weak in both South Africa and the UK, the group's two core banking markets. Against this backdrop, the group's operating profit (refer to the definition in the notes) is expected to be ahead of the prior year. The Bank and Wealth business is expected to report results ahead of the prior year, while the Asset Management business is expected to report results marginally behind the prior year. Additional information is provided under the business review section of this announcement. Salient financial features of the group for the period under review include: - Revenue is expected to be in line with the prior year - Annuity income as a percentage of total operating income is expected to be approximately 77% (2018: 76%) - The expected credit loss (ECL) charge is anticipated to be significantly less than the prior year. The credit loss ratio is expected to be between 0.30% to 0.35% (September 2018: 0.34%; March 2018: 0.61%) - Modest cost growth is expected - Overall group results have been negatively impacted by the depreciation of the average Rand against Pound Sterling exchange rate of approximately 4% over the period - For the period 31 March 2018 to 28 February 2019: o Third party assets under management increased 1.9% to GBP163.7 billion - an increase of 5.8% on a currency neutral basis o Net inflows of GBP6.9 billion were generated o Core loans and advances decreased 0.9% to GBP24.9 billion - an increase of 6.0% on a currency neutral basis o Customer accounts (deposits) increased 1.1% to GBP31.3 billion - an increase of 8.1% on a currency neutral basis - The proposed demerger and separate listing of Investec Asset Management is on track, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. Conclusion The group's performance has been supported by growth in assets under management and substantial net inflows, good loan book growth, and significantly improved performance from the UK Specialist Banking business. The group is committed to a strategy of simplification, focus, and growth with discipline. The Bank and Wealth business and the Asset Management business are dedicated to pursuing the objectives outlined at their capital markets day presentations. On behalf of the board Perry Crosthwaite (Chairman), Fani Titi (Joint Chief Executive Officer) and Hendrik du Toit (Joint Chief Executive Officer) Liquidity and capital management - The group has maintained a healthy liquidity position - The loans to customer deposits ratio at 28 February 2019 was 78.2% (31 March 2018: 79.6%) - Cash balances remain strong at GBP13.2 billion at 28 February 2019 (31 March 2018: GBP12.8 billion), equating to 42.0% of customer deposits. This comprises cash and near cash of GBP6.3 billion (R117.1 billion) in Investec Limited and GBP6.9 billion in Investec plc as at 28 February 2019 - For the year to 31 March 2019 for both Investec plc and Investec Limited: o Common equity tier 1 ratios are expected to remain in line with the group's target of 10% o Leverage ratios are robust and remain comfortably ahead of the group's target of 6% - The group expects to implement the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based (FIRB) approach in South Africa in the first quarter of the 2020 financial year, subject to regulatory approval. Business commentary Salient features of the operating performance of the group's core business areas are listed below and further details will be provided in the briefing presentation, which can be viewed on the group's website. Bank and Wealth Specialist Banking - The Specialist Banking business is expected to post results well ahead of the prior year. The UK Specialist Bank is expected to report results significantly ahead of the prior year, while the South African Specialist Bank is expected to report results behind the prior year - In summary, key aspects include: o Net interest and net fee income - An increase in net interest income driven by book growth in both the UK and South Africa - Net fees and commissions in line with the prior year; supported by strong advisory and structuring fees earned in the UK Investment Banking business, and offset by lower investment banking and corporate client activity levels in South Africa o Other income (refer to the definition in the notes) - Other income is expected to be behind the prior year largely due to a weaker performance across the investment portfolio o Impairments - Impairments are expected to decrease significantly due to no further occurrence of substantial losses on the legacy portfolio o Costs - Costs in the UK are expected to increase in line with revenue - Costs in South Africa are expected to grow ahead of revenue, primarily as a result of the prior-year rental provision release. Wealth & Investment - The Wealth & Investment business is expected to report results behind the prior year - Net inflows of GBP0.5 billion were generated to the end of February 2019 (sound discretionary inflows were partially offset by outflows relating to discontinued non-core non-managed UK services) - Since 31 March 2018, assets under management have decreased by 4.0% to GBP53.8 billion (a decrease of 0.6% on a currency neutral basis) - Earnings have been impacted primarily by lower transaction-based commissions and a non-recurring investment gain realised in the prior year. Asset Management - The Asset Management business is expected to report results marginally behind the prior year - Substantial net inflows of GBP6.4 billion were generated to the end of February 2019 - Since 31 March 2018, assets under management have increased by 5.2% to GBP109.2 billion (an increase of 9.2% on a currency neutral basis) - Revenue growth was dampened by considerable market volatility during the second half of the year - Earnings have been impacted by lower performance fees in South Africa and higher costs in the UK, including Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and new premises costs. Other information - The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 13% compared with 9.6% in the prior year - Net non-controlling interests are expected to amount to approximately GBP91 million (profits attributable) relating to the Asset Management business and the consolidation of the Investec Property Fund - The weighted number of shares in issue for the year ending 31 March 2019 is expected to be approximately 942 million. Notes 1. Profit forecasts for the group, Bank and Wealth and Asset Management - The following matters as discussed in the briefing and highlighted above contain forward-looking statements: - the group's operating profit (refer to the definition in the notes) is expected to be ahead of the prior year; - the Bank and Wealth business is expected to report results ahead of the prior year; and - the Asset Management business is expected to report results marginally behind the prior year (collectively the Profit Forecasts) - The basis of preparation of each of these statements and the assumptions upon which they are based are set out below. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and other factors - these factors may cause the group's, Bank and Wealth's and/or Asset Management's actual future results, performance or achievements in the markets in which they operate to differ from those expressed in the Profit Forecasts - Any forward looking statements made are based on the knowledge of the group, Bank and Wealth and Asset Management at 14 March 2019 - These forward looking statements represent a profit forecast under the Listing Rules. The Profit Forecasts relate to the period ending 31 March 2019 - The financial information on which the Profit Forecasts are based, is the responsibility of the Directors of the group and have not been reviewed and reported on by the group's auditors. Basis of preparation - The Profit Forecasts have been properly compiled using the assumptions stated below, and on a basis consistent with the accounting policies adopted in the group's September 2018 unaudited interim financial statements, which are in accordance with IFRS and are those which the group anticipates will be applicable for the year ending 31 March 2019 - The Profit Forecasts have been prepared based on (a) the unaudited interim financial statements of the group for the six months to 30 September 2018, and the results of Bank and Wealth and Asset Management underlying those interim financial statements; (b) the unaudited management accounts of the Investec group for the eleven months to 28 February 2019; and (c) the projected financial performance of the Investec group for the remaining one month of the year ending 31 March 2019. Assumptions The Profit Forecast has been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions during the forecast period: Factors outside the influence or control of the Investec Board: - There will be no material change in the political and/or economic environment that would materially affect the Investec group - There will be no material change in legislation or regulation impacting on the Investec group's operations or its accounting policies - There will be no business disruption that will have a significant impact on the Investec group's operations - The Rand/Pound Sterling and US Dollar/Pound Sterling exchange rates and the tax rates remain materially unchanged from the prevailing rates detailed below - There will be no material changes in the structure of the markets, client demand or the competitive environment. Estimates and judgements In preparation of the Profit Forecasts, the group makes estimations and applies judgement that could affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Key areas in which judgement is applied include: - Valuation of unlisted investments primarily in the private equity, direct investments portfolios and embedded derivatives. Key valuation inputs are based on the most relevant observable market inputs, adjusted where necessary for factors that specifically apply to the individual investments and recognising market volatility - The determination of ECL against assets that are carried at amortised cost and ECL relating to debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) involves the assessment of future cash flows which is judgemental in nature - Valuation of investment properties is performed twice annually by directors of subsidiary companies who are qualified valuators. The valuation is performed by capitalising the budget net income of the property at the market related yield applicable at the time. Properties in Investec Property Fund are valued according to the JSE Listings Requirements - The group's income tax charge and balance sheet provision are judgemental in nature. This arises from certain transactions for which the ultimate tax treatment can only be determined by final resolution with the relevant local tax authorities. The group recognises in its tax provision certain amounts in respect of taxation that involve a degree of estimation and uncertainty where the tax treatment cannot finally be determined until a resolution has been reached by the relevant tax authority. The carrying amount of this provision is often dependent on the timetable and progress of discussions and negotiations with the relevant tax authorities, arbitration processes and legal proceedings in the relevant tax jurisdictions in which the group operates. Issues can take many years to resolve and assumptions on the likely outcome would therefore have to be made by the group - Where appropriate, the group has utilised expert external advice as well as experience of similar situations elsewhere in making any such provisions. Determination of interest income and interest expense using the effective interest rate method involves judgement in determining the timing and extent of future cash flows. 2. Definitions - References to operating profit relate to adjusted operating profit, where adjusted operating profit refers to net profit before tax, goodwill, acquired intangibles and non-operating items but after adjusting for earnings attributable to other non- controlling interests and before non-controlling interests relating to Asset Management. Trends within the divisional sections relate to adjusted operating profit before group costs. Adjusted operating profit is considered an important measure by Investec of the profit realised by the group in the ordinary course of operations. In addition, it forms the basis of the dividend pay-out policy. Non- IFRS measures such as adjusted operating profit are considered as pro forma financial information as per the JSE Listing Requirements. The pro forma financial information is the responsibility of the group's Board of Directors. This pro forma financial information has not been reported on by the group's auditors - Amounts represented on a currency neutral basis for balance sheet items assume that the relevant closing exchange rates, as reflected below, at 28 February 2019 remain the same as those at 31 March 2018 - The credit loss ratio is calculated as expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges on gross core loans and advances as a percentage of average gross core loans and advances subject to ECL - References to other income relate to investment income, share of post taxation profit of associates, trading income and other operating income. 3. Exchange rates The group's reporting currency is Pounds Sterling. Certain of the group's operations are conducted by entities outside the UK. The results of operations and the financial condition of these individual companies are reported in the local currencies in which they are domiciled, including Rands, Australian Dollars, Euros and US Dollars. These results are then translated into Pounds Sterling at the applicable foreign currency exchange rates for inclusion in the group's combined consolidated financial statements. In the case of the income statement, the weighted average rate for the relevant period is applied and, in the case of the balance sheet, the relevant closing rate is used. The following table sets out the movements in certain relevant exchange rates against the Pound Sterling over the period: Eleven months to Six months to Year to 28-Feb-2019 30-Sep-18 31-Mar-18 Currency Period Average Period Average Period Average end end end per GBP1.00 South African 18.62 17.96 18.44 17.76 16.62 17.21 Rand Australian Dollar 1.87 1.80 1.80 1.79 1.83 1.72 Euro 1.17 1.13 1.12 1.13 1.14 1.14 US Dollar 1.33 1.31 1.30 1.33 1.40 1.33 Presentation details The briefing starts at 09:00 (BST time) (11:00 South African time) and will be broadcast live via video conference from the group's offices in London to Johannesburg.

A great musician once said that the highest level of music is freedom. It appears to me that the saxphone is part of the performer's body.
