Bird flu a hoax? You decide…
One of my more loyal viewers has sent along the following information.
I was checking the references Dr. Ott makes but there is so much to check.
For instance, the WHO 'Bulletin 46' mentioned at the start is actually all the reports the WHO put out in the first 6 months of 1972 – it is over 900 pages long (and full of some real interesting experiments they did back then!) – look at all this stuff! http://whqlibdoc.who.int/bulletin/1972/Vol46/
So rather than hold up the truth – here's some stuff fairflight sent to me – what do you all think?
Hi Mike,
Here are a few videos that are extremely informative! Thanks for getting this out! It is our best chance!
Intelligence Report on Weaponized Avian Flu:
This link has several of Dr. Laibows videos explaining about Genetically modified foods and the Avian Flu pandemic that is coming! Very informative! She is a virologist!
I am posting a few other links to help those that realize the probability of this! These will help with info and preparation! Please forward to all you love and others who will help make this viral! You will find them below!

utter tosh and scaremongering. talk to a scientist.
March 22, 2009 10:40 PM
yellowlabrador, having the inside scoop on much of what dr. ott is saying, i have to respectfully disagree. did you actually watch all 12 vids?
March 23, 2009 2:31 AM
Dear Mike and Fairflight, I can't thank you both enough for linking the playlists of Dr. Ott's work and Dr. Laibow's work, along w/her site healthfreedomUSA.org. I don't feel so helpless anymore after watching these vids. Fairflight, I promise to you on my children's lives that I will do everything in my power to "wake up the snoring" (a line from one of my fav artists, Michael Franti) and disseminate this info. Actually, I've already begun. Going to take a shower now and tomorrow I will work on my game plan, which will fit quite nicely into my current schooling and business plan. Mike, feel free to give Fairflight my email address if she doesn't have access to it; I can't find her on YT or how to write to her other than thru your blog. T/Y.
March 23, 2009 5:02 AM
You seem like a very good person! I will send mike my email through a personal message and he can forward! Stay strong and well!

Sounds good. I return the sentiments. 🙂 Be well!

Tokyo preparation
ITU launches Triathlon Mixed Relay Series
A new Mixed Relay Series will launch in 2018 as the ITU prepares for the inaugural Olympic event in Tokyo in 2020.
December 12, 2017 | NEWS|
Mixed Relays are amongst the most exciting triathlon races there are, filled with exciting memories like the one pictured above where the Australian team anxiously awaited for countryman Jake Birtwhistle to unleash his impressive kick to take this year's world title at the ITU Mixed Relay World Championships in Hamburg.
As the ITU prepares for the upcoming 2020 Olympic Games, where the Mixed Relay has been added to the program, a new Triathlon Mixed Relay Series has been announced. The series will include two events this year, which will take place in Nottingham at WTS Leeds on June 7 and in July at WTS Edmonton. Hamburg will once again host the Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championship in July, too. All three races will allow countries to start earning qualifying points for the Mixed Relay Olympic Qualifying Ranking.
ITU officials met about the Olympic Qualifying process this weekend following the Science and Triathlon conference in Edmonton. It has yet to be ratified by the ITU board, but it looks like qualifying for Tokyo will begin on May 11, 2018 and run to May 11, 2020.
The mixed relay consists of four athletes per team, two men and two women, who each compete over a sprint distance race. (In Hamburg the distances are 300 m swim, 6.6 km bike and 1.6 km run.)
There will be five Mixed Relay Continental Championships that will also give points for the Olympic Qualification Rankings.

CANMORE, Alta. — With all of the injuries that the Maryland Eastern Shore Hawks have had to endure leading up to the 2017-18 season and through the first two games, they needed someone new to step up and take on a starring role.
Enter freshman guard Cameron Bacote, who has more than risen to the occasion through the Hawks' first two games of the year.
The 6'3" guard from Hampton, VA came to the Hawks after a stellar career at Bethel High School. He recorded more than 1,000 points over his collegiate career, and averaged 20 points per game during his senior season. Hus AAU team, Team Loaded VA (Richmond), advanced to the Adidas Summer Championship Final Four.
Bacote has a ton of talent on the hardwood, and that was on full display over the Hawks' first two games of the season. The Hawks earned a split over the weekend, picking up a win over Valley Forge on Friday before falling to the Maryland Terrapins on Sunday night.
In both games, Bacote led the attack for the Hawks, and the fans recognized that on Sunday night and into Monday morning.
For his efforts over his first two games in the NCAA, fans selected Maryland Eastern Shore guard Cameron Bacote as the College Court Report Fan-Voted Freshman of the Week(end) for November 10-12, 2017!
Bacote earned the most votes in our weekly Twitter poll. The other weekly candidates were Zack Bryant (UAB), Kellan Grady (Davidson), and Abayomi Iyiola (Stetson).
For the first time since at least the turn of the Millennium, the Hawks were looking to open their season with a win in their first game. Against Valley Forge on Friday night, the Hawks did just that, holding down home court with a 95-69 victory.
At the forefront of the attack was Bacote, who made a great impression with the home crown in his regular season debut. With injuries to Ryan Andino, Isaac Taylor, and Dontae Caldwell, Bacote took the reigns and led the Hawks with 28 points and 11 assists in the win. He recorded his first career double-double in his first regular season game, while committing just one turnover.
Bacote went 11-for-18 (61.1%) from the floor and 6-for-12 (50%) from three point range on the day, while also pulling down four rebounds. He showed in high school that he had the ability to fill up the score sheet, and he did that in game one with the Hawks.
Then, on Sunday, the Hawks were down another guard, as Logan McIntosh missed the game against the Maryland Terrapins due to an injury suffered against Valley Forge. Bacote led the charge once more for the Hawks, who were overwhelmed in their 96-43 road loss.
Bacote led all scorers in the game once again, posting 18 points on 8-of-17 (47.1%) shooting. He played all 40 minutes against the Terrapins, registering just two personal fouls.
Across his first two games at the Division I level, Bacote is averaging 23.0 points, 7.0 assists, and 2.5 rebounds per contest, while shooting 54.3% (18-for-35) from the floor and 42.1% (8-for-19) from three point range. He may only be two games into his collegiate career, but Bacote has the look of a potential star for the Hawks as his freshman season unfolds.
Looking ahead for the Hawks, they continue their six-game road swing this week. They take on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies on Tuesday, and then the Georgetown Hoyas on Saturday. Bacote will look to continue his strong play and help the Hawks pull off a big road win.
For his efforts this past week, the fans selected Maryland Eastern Shore guard Cameron Bacote as the College Court Report Fan-Voted Freshman of the Week(end) for November 10-12, 2017!

**College Court Report Freshman of the Week recipients are selected from teams in the following conferences:

Announcing the Winner of the Inaugural Open Borders Prize
Guy Intoci
Dzanc Books is pleased to announce the winner of the inaugural Dzanc/Disquiet Open Borders Book Prize: Everything Lost Is Found Again by Will McGrath. In addition to publication in Fall 2018, the prize comes with a $5,000 advance. It was selected from a pool of hundreds of manuscripts by the editors of Dzanc Books and the staff of the Disquiet International Literary Festival, held each year in Lisbon, Portugal.
As funny as it is heartfelt, this amalgamation of memoir and essay collection tells the story of twenty months the author spent in Lesotho, the small, landlocked kingdom surrounded by South Africa. Driven by a spirit of open-hearted cultural exchange, Everything Lost Is Found Again is a work of joyful absurdity and pop ethnography, an off-kilter celebration of our common human identity.
Dzanc Books Editor-in-Chief Michelle Dotter noted, "Before reading this book, I hadn't had a chance to get to know Lesotho, but it's impossible not to love it through McGrath's eyes. Everything Lost Is Found Again is a narrative of joyful absurdity that hits you with a right hook at just the right time, every time."
Will McGrath has written for The Atlantic, Pacific Standard, Foreign Affairs, and others, and has been honored with the Felice Buckvar Prize for Nonfiction, Black Warrior Review's Nonfiction Prize and The Southeast Review's Narrative Nonfiction Prize. He said of winning the prize: "I'm grateful to the contest judges and Dzanc Books, and I'm thrilled to present my love-drunk ballad to Lesotho. I look forward to sharing this honor with my Basotho friends whose stories fill its pages."
The Dzanc/Disquiet Open Borders Book Prize was established in 2017 to honor fiction or nonfiction exhibiting a marked commitment to mutual understanding and cultural exchange across the globe. As the United States Government moves to erect barriers both physical and legal, Dzanc Books and the Disquiet International Literary Program in Lisbon, Portugal, strive to promote literature that crosses boundaries and to advocate for a diverse, global literary discourse.

FULTON, NY – Fulton Board of Education Vice President Dan Pawlewicz was presented the Board Mastery Award at Tuesday's (May 22) regular meeting.
The award recognizes school board members across New York State that earned at least 250 points as recorded by the New York State School Board Association.
Board members receive points by participating in any NYSSBA development activities.
The award was given by The New York State School Board Association's School Board U Recognition Program.
The program was "designed to recognize extensive time and effort for school board members who strive to continually expand their governance knowledge and skills."
Board President, David Cordone said, "Mr. Pawlewicz is an exceptional member of the Fulton CSD Board of Education. He has demonstrated great commitment in his role as a member of our Board. Mr. Pawlewicz is an outstanding member of this Board, his passion for our students and his elected position are incomparable to any other."
Pawlewicz has served on the board for four terms totaling twelve years. His current term will expire June 30 at which time he will be replaced by a recently elected newcomer to the board as he had chosen not to seek reelection.
"I have enjoyed being a part of the Fulton City School District Board of Education for the past 12 years. I have served on many site-based teams, as well as audit/communication/wellness and safety committees. For the past two years, I have been Fulton's representative on the Oswego County School Boards Association. I've attended many workshops and conventions over the years and have met many people who share my passion for education!" he said of his time with the Fulton Board of Education.
Though he is leaving his seat on the board, he is confident with the district's leadership and current position.
"I am confident that the FCSD is in great hands with the leadership of Superintendent Pulvino and Board President Cordone. The FCSD has a hard working dedicated staff, we are fiscally responsible, our vision is clear and we currently have the highest graduation rate on record. I am very comfortable as to where the FCSD is right now! I'd like to thank my wife and daughters for supporting me as a FCSD BOE throughout the years," Pawlewicz said.

Ok, Our sweet Peyton is growing so much, she had her six month check up on Friday, she weighs 16lbs 2oz, so actually not as much as I thought, but she is still solid! She is the smiliest little thing, so happy! Since I banished her to the basement she sleeps through the night no problem, sometimes she wakes up a little early in the morning, ya know, like 5:30 a.m., but she is such a great sleeper now! She is getting better about sitting up. I think her belly was so big that she was off balance, but she is starting to stretch out a little bit more, so she has better balance. She adores Callie, just watches her and laughs at her and Callie is so sweet to play with her and try to tickle her. I love it! I tried giving her bananas this morning and for the first time she closed her mouth when food was being offered. She didn't care for them so much, but she loves sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and really any other vegetable that she is offered. Feeding time at the zoo is always entertaining. We love Peyton, I thank Heavenly Father for her every day!
This last picture deserves an explaination. When I took her in for her check up, Dr. Morgan told me that she has thrush, so I have to giver the gentian violet. Yup, I have never seen a mouth this purple. The picture doesn't quite do it justice it is something to behold!

Its delicious! Breakfast there is terrible for my low carb diet but otherwise an incredibly enjoyable eat. The boutique next door gave me tonnes of inspiration for my next house party.

If only they had more entertainment for children than a pencil to draw on their placemat.

Despite a March deadline for Bethune-Cookman University to show how it will end its accreditation probation and safeguard its future, one prominent interest group believes school leaders have no real plan to do so: B-CU's National Alumni Association.
In a letter based on a more than two-hour call Jan. 28 that involved the NAA's executive committee, B-CU board chair Belvin Perry, and B-CU interim President Hubert Grimes, the alumni group concluded that the two retired judges were misleading stakeholders to hide the fact that they don't have a plan to restore the school to solid ground.
Losing accreditation — a prospect Perry called "a death knell for the university" last year — could make it difficult for the more than 3,700 students at the historically black university transfer classes, secure federal loans, or find jobs.
The NAA and its president, Robert Delancy, say Perry and Grimes misled school alumni by falsely claiming they weren't allowed to share details of their plan before its release. They've also misled stakeholders — including students and employees — regarding the scope of a so-called forensic audit investigating a university student housing project brokered by its former president, Edison O. Jackson.
The letter also highlights other troubles at B-CU, including declining enrollments, a $7 million withdrawal from its endowment, how some scholarships are not fully funded, and that fundraising efforts from trustees have been insignificant.
Perry — who said he has not seen B-CU's plan to end its probation — said the NAA was not "entitled" to see the plan, adding that he didn't think any school would release a draft copy to alumni. Grimes did not respond to requests for comment.
Accreditation concerns
When a regional accrediting agency first placed B-CU on probation in June, Grimes downplayed the measure, telling stakeholders in a YouTube video, "All is well."
[READ MORE: B-CU slapped with probation; Hubert Grimes blames media, lawsuits]
Since then, other than saying it was working on removing the sanction, the university hasn't offered much in the way of details about how it will resolve its accreditation issues. While B-CU posted a financial stability plan on its website, it was so lacking in details the NAA's letter dismissed it as "nothing but fluff without accreditation substance."
The letter calls for an end to Grimes' propensity to sugarcoat situations and asks the university to provide stakeholders with candid answers.
"We were not looking for the 'rosy or optimistic forecast' the interim president essentially said he prefers, not when this crisis demands transparency and forthrightness," the letter says. "Optimistic forecasts do not reach the level of being 'fully informed.'"
The substance the NAA was looking for was supposed to come from its January call with Grimes and Perry. Yet during the call, the two repeatedly claimed that they couldn't discuss details of the plan, saying that a consultant the university had hired advised them not to do so and that it would violate the rules of the accrediting agency that issued the probation, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
But Delancy, who later called the consultant, said the man told him that he never advised B-CU to keep quiet. And no one at SACSCOC told B-CU to withhold its plan, said chief of staff Larry Earvin, adding that schools are free to share accreditation information as they see fit.
Not looking hard enough
As multiple lawsuits and federal investigations into B-CU's housing project continue to rattle the university, stakeholders have been waiting for more than a year to find out what really happened to up to $25 million in unaccounted costs. The details of where the money went were supposed to be released in the university's forensic audit.
Despite the university's repeated statements that the forensic audit was not complete and promises from Grimes to release the audit, in actuality, there never was one, the letter says.
"Despite the apparent need for an independent forensic audit, it appears that such an audit has not been accomplished, and therefore students are not being fully informed ... (about) what is being done with money the university has been entrusted with," the letter says.
Perry said he has seen an audit, but that he didn't think it was detailed enough to fully explain what was going on with B-CU's finances under Jackson. Given B-CU's financial situation, Perry said he wasn't sure it would be worth an estimated $100,000 for the school to conduct a more detailed forensic audit.

Another Hail Mary
The NAA condemned the university's reluctance to dig into its finances as "troubling," adding that the importance of the audit "seems lost" on Perry and Grimes even as B-CU's financial situation continues to deteriorate.
Perry and Grimes remain optimistic. In October, the university was promised a $150 million donation from a purported pharmaceutical bigwig, but a News-Journal investigation showed the potential donor lived in income restricted housing among other red flags. While others at B-CU said the donation appears unlikely, Grimes has continued to say he's hopeful.

At a press conference Tuesday night, Grimes and Perry put forth another plan in conjunction with two lawyers from the Morgan & Morgan law firm. The lawyers said senior partner John Morgan, a prominent Democratic Party fundraiser, will be reaching out to power brokers such as former presidents Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to secure help for the school.
Asked how or to what extent the politicians could help, no one could say for sure. Perry said the plan was in its infancy and he was aiming to have a fundraising effort in place by summer.
A statement from B-CU that was attributed to Morgan said he's on board with the plan.
"Bethune-Cookman is an important institution of our past and future," Morgan wrote. "Its survival is important to many people for a multitude of reasons. I'm all in!"
Given Morgan's clout, Delancy of the NAA sounded hopeful.
"I would take that as a very, very positive sign," he said.

Life's a party.
I had an epiphany today. I love designing. I love DIY and crafts. I love planning events. Oh, and I have an adorable French Bulldog that I take too many pictures of. Hence, "The Festive Frenchie" was born.
My creativity was sparked when I decided to design my own wedding invitations. This led to a full-blown DIY project for all of my wedding stationary (and a living room that now resembles a Paper Source), including programs, favors, welcome bags, etc. Yes, I'm probably crazy, but I love it.
I've also ventured into making invitations for family and friends for bridal showers, reunions and birthday parties. If you tell me your vision, I'll create the perfect invitation to match. Designing invitations requires a certain combination of creativity and OCD. I think I've found my calling.
My goal for this blog is to share all things festive - projects I'm working on, unique decor I've found, invitations I've designed and trends in the party planning/decorating world. There also may or may not be some photos of my dog wearing birthday hats or other ridiculous costumes sprinkled throughout. I can't make any promises.
Here's to the first of many...

Thanks to Lauren Neves, our chapter's first WIA event will be held in the spring!
To encourage diversity in our ASHRAE chapter, and give more women members an opportunity to socialize with each other, we have decided to hold a wine tasting event at a local tasting room. This will not be an event exclusive to women, but if you have women in your firm who are reluctant to come to monthly meetings, this might be the ticket for them. Look for more details to come out in the next newsletter.
If you would like to be a sponsor, please contact Lauren.

Below is a list of other Pink Floyd-related sites we highly recommend you visit.
This list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all Floyd sites on the net (if you want that, type Pink Floyd into Google, and then laugh). Instead, these are hand-picked sites that provide fans and historians a relevant, interesting, insightful and interactive Pink Floyd experience above and beyond all others. The details included after each entry are written by myself so as to present a unified comparative review of sites.
In order to have yours considered for inclusion in this list, please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the name and homepage url of your site. I'll review it and possibly list it here. If I decide your site is phenomenal enough to be included, I'll email you back (if you don't hear from me, then I'm sorry yours cannot be recommended here). While of course it would be appreciated that your site include a link back to us, such cooperation is not required in order to be listed below.
To be considered, your site must adhere to a few basic requirements in addition to presenting valuable Pink Floyd-related content...
1. No offer, advertisement or endorsement of MP3s. If ever there was a band deserving of their music distributed in lossless form, this is it. They spent their careers laboring to create the most cutting edge, sonically golden recordings (well, except for Animals, that is). To lop off the high and low end of their creations just to save some hard drive space, or so as to fit more on one's stupid iPod, is despicable. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this: The Death of High Fidelity
2. Less than 1/3 of the site is ad-based. Of the ads presented, none can be pornographic, and most should be somewhat music related (where content is controllable).
3. No pop-up, shadow or arrow-trailing adverts. They irritate me.
4. No fee-based membership sites. Only free sites will be considered. If your site requires user registration, the process should be simple, user-friendly, and expeditious. Few things worse than finding a site and not being able to see any content before registering, followed by a waiting period that takes days to complete while you wait for the moderator to get off their lazy ass to activate your registration.
5. No over-stylized sites that use every possible coding technology. Flash this, blinking scrolling that, background music, streaming video, and so on. All these elements are nice and can make a site fun and interesting. However, when all of them bombard you simultaneously the instant you enter, it's frantic and distracting. So, if hitting on your site causes my hard drive to crank away just to keep up with your techno bs, no thanks.
Simple enough. Now here are the absolute best of the best Pink Floyd sites in alphabetical order...
ALL PINK FLOYD FAN NETWORK (www.pinkfloydfan.net)
An interesting concept, APFFN is set up as one massive bulletin board. Each category (Discography, Tablatures, Interviews, Lyrics, Articles, etc) is presented in forum style where main titled listings allow for member comments, input, corrections and additions. Membership is substantial (20,000+), categories are organized and well-thought, and contributions are extensive. You'd need a lifetime to read through everything, so the search feature is a plus. Free and simple registration is required.
BRAIN DAMAGE (www.brain-damage.co.uk)
Matthew Johns, longtime major contributor to the printed version of the magazine, launched the official Brain Damage site years ago. Since that time it has grown into a healthy and well-groomed 800-pound gorilla. It seems to be the first site to post breaking Floyd-related news (though there isn't much of that these days), includes a massive archive of articles and reviews, and promotes fan-inspired projects (tribute bands, fanzines, and even a Syd Barrett walking tour in Cambridge). A superbly designed site, easy to navigate, well written throughout, and completely open (no registration required).
ECHOES HUB (www.echoeshub.com)
This is the home site of a DC++ trading community. In order to access their hub, a software download and registration is required. Within the hub, as within all legitimate DC++ hubs, users trade unofficial recordings without charge. The only expectation they have is that you share back that downloaded material for the benefit of others, and never offer any officially released material. Although the main page is right on the cusp of being too chaotic, I'm listing the site here because of something I saw that had me clearing away bits of my jaw off the floor. Check out their roio recordings listing. Are you kidding me? Over 1500 non-duplicated listings for Floyd-related downloads, in addition to hundreds of additional non-Floyd listings (I presume more are added regularly). Each entry includes artwork, track listing, additional information about the recording, date, venue, and quality rating. The entire database is searchable no less, making this one seriously amazing resource for collectors. Theirs easily surpasses the now inactive, but once premier, Roio Database.
A FLEETING GLIMPSE (www.pinkfloydz.com)
Companion site to Brain Damage (each is run independently), AFG is operated by Australian mega-fan Col Turner. With a clean and functional design, you can spend days exploring the vast entries on this site. From an extensive interview archive to mountains of concert photos, from fan-inspired projects to current news, there isn't much this highly acclaimed site doesn't endeavor to tackle. Registration is required for their discussion forum (which boasts guests such as Dave Kilminster, Harry Waters and Storm Thorgerson), but other areas are open. What is particularly striking about AFG is the level of fan involvement by way of articles and submissions. This site remains true to its sub-title "By The Fans - For The Fans", and is every bit enjoyable as it is informative.
NEPTUNE PINK FLOYD (www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk)
The shadow ad for the NPF newsletter was certain to preclude inclusion of this site here. But hey, they're my rules, and if I want to make an exception, an exception there will be. But why would I? Well, quite simply, NPF is one of the best Floyd sites in existence. To not list it here would be an injustice, so I cannot allow one discomfort taint the overall goal of recommending the best of the best. A whole galaxy of Floyd radiates from this singularity. A full website with corresponding (and lively) forum, blog, feeds and newsletters, combined with contributions from well-informed fans, there are few sites to rival this one. I also found the NPF Magazine a superb idea, and an enjoyable read. While Neptune is our outermost planet now, least known and most mysterious, Neptune Pink Floyd is the center of the Floyd universe and should be thoroughly explored by all travelers. First in space?
YEESHKUL! (www.yeeshkul.com)
"This site is for the sharing of (mostly Pink Floyd related, but not exclusively) unofficial live audio and video recordings by way of the Bit Torrent p2p protocol." So again, another trading community. Unlike their DC++-based counterpart, here they use torrents. You need to register with them, and subsequently download a small bit torrenting program in order to actively trade. Unlike DC++ hubs, while trading you are not in social contact with the community. Yeeshkul compensates for this by having what is one of the premier Floyd-related discussion boards on the web. Highly informed fans and collectors post on a wide variety of topics, almost always insightful, informative, and even entertaining. The gold it's in the... exhaustive research topics this community undertakes. Explore those topics thoroughly, it's well worth your time, much to the benefit of your Floyd IQ.
And then there was this other rather large Floyd site I reviewed...
... Perhaps the largest online accumulation of articles and interviews, arranged in an easily navigatible and logical manner. ... With a large and perky forum... One of my highest recommendations.
Until I noticed they endorsed and distributed mp3s. So I decided to lop off the top and bottom of their review. To illustrate the point.

Petition the House of Commons to Honour the Treaties
West Hill United Church Calls on the Federal Government
to Honour the Treaties with Indigenous Peoples.
This past Sunday the congregation at West Hill United Church read the last of the ninety-four recommendations made to all levels of government by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission reviewing the Residential Schools legacy in which The United Church of Canada was complicit. Our congregation has been reading one of the recommendations in its weekly Sunday gathering since September, 2015.
This morning Monday June 26th, West Hill United is hosting a Press Conference to publicly launch a petition calling on the Government of Canada to honour both the spirit and the letter of the treaty relationship it has with Indigenous Peoples in Canada and challenging it to take immediate action to address inequities between Indigenous and general population communities with respect to clean drinking water, education, housing, health and social services. The launch of the petition is scheduled to coincide with national celebrations of Canada's 150th birthday, a celebration undermined by the country's troubled legacy with Indigenous Peoples.
A special emphasis in the petition is youth suicide prevention. Asked for assistance intervening in an Indigenous youth suicide pact last year, Health and Welfare Canada refused citing an "awkward" budget period. In the wake of that decision, three youth in the community have completed suicide. It is this failure to act which has instigated the petition action.
In 2013, our West Hill congregation collected 3000 signatures petitioning the House of Commons. The petition was read by Conservative MP Cornelious Chisu, then representing the Pickering-Scarborough East constituency in which WHUC is located. Few of the situations cited in the 2013 petition have been adequately addressed.
This morning, we invite the community to read and sign the Treaty Relationship Petition.
We have deliberately chosen to keep the petition in a paper format, rather than on-line, as we hope to engage our friends and neighbours in face-to-face dialogue about the issues the petitions raises. We encourage you to print several copies and share it widely to foster these important conversations!
Please read the cover Letter, then sign and share the petition widely.
Click here for the Treaty Relationship Petition
If you would like updates as to the status of the petition and when it will be presented in the House of Commons, please let the office know. Click HERE to email.

Brooklyn Flea, Finally/
So I finally made it to the Brooklyn Flea yesterday.
I went with my old roommate, Scott, and had a lot of fun.
I saw some lovely things, like...
You can check these out at shopjohnmurphy.com.
These necklaces are made out of scarves, ties, etc.
And pickles!
This guy said, "My mom, dad, brother and I make these pickles and jar them in Detroit." You can get some here: McClure's Pickles.
I even had two celebrity sightings!
The first was Sia. I didn't take a picture of her, but I saw her in this one when I got home:
Do you see her? She's over there on the right, in the blue and purple skirt.
I know, I know... her head is turned and you can barely see her face, but trust me, it's her.
The second celebrity sighting I had was... Elvis!
How cute is that? I'm going to try and make one this winter.

The Pro-Assad Alliance Is Coming Apart
In a May 21 speech on U.S. strategy following President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo struck a tough tone, promising to confront Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its multinational Shiite militia networks throughout the Middle East. But strong words have yet to be matched with action. For years, the United States has struggled to come up with a strategy for containing and eventually rolling back Iranian influence in Syria, the most hotly contested battlefield in the Middle East.
That may be about to change, thanks to an emerging fracture in the alliance backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. On one side of the divide is Iran, which seeks to consolidate its gains in Syria in order to apply military pressure on Israel. On the other side are the Assad regime, Hezbollah, and Russia, all of which fear a major conflict with Israel that could undermine what they have fought for in the Levant over the past decade. These divisions may finally provide Washington with the opportunity it has been seeking to check Tehran's ambitions in Syria.
Assad's position today is as strong as it has been since 2012, when Syria's armed opposition first started gaining momentum. Over the past two years, the regime and its allies have made significant territorial gains, especially in the strategic areas in and around the capital of Damascus and in the last pocket of rebel rule in Homs Province. Assad's opponents lack either the will or the capability to stop him from slowly winning the war.

Charter bus with students plunges into ravine in Alabama
Raw video: emergency workers respond to accidents after the charter bus with Texas students from Channelview high School, allegedly back from Disney World crashed into a ravine in Alabama.
At least one person was killed and several others were seriously injured Tuesday when a charter bus filled with high school students immersed in a 50-meter Alabama ravine — intercept on the mangled vehicle until rescuers were able to rappel down to free them.
The bus was on the way to Houston, Texas, after a study trip around 5:30 a.m. when it crashed into a highway median on Interstate 10 and is immersed in Cowpen Creek in Baldwin County, Sheriff Huey Hoss Mack said at a press conference.
#TrafficAlert: Officials say 45 students from Houston on the bus to FL for Spring Break -> 12 reported to be in critical condition. @FOX10News pic.twitter.com/7909Nf9LfD
— Sarah Wall (@SarahWallFox10) March 13, 2018
The bus with about 45 people at the time.
"We have multiple injuries; the bus went down into a ravine," said Chris Elliott, a Baldwin County commissioner who helped us at the county's emergency management center after the crash. "The fire department and the officers have to the descent in the area."
More than a dozen fire departments from Alabama and Florida responded to the scene and worked to remove the trapped passengers — Channelview High School band students who were in Disney World in Florida and in the ravine. Several officers entered the ravine to pull students from the wreckage, according to Mack. At least six helicopters were also used in the relief efforts.
The passengers were taken to 10 local hospitals. A person is in critical condition and five others were seriously injured. Others have light injuries.
The charter bus on the way to Texas fell into a ravine early Tuesday morning.
The total number of injured is still unclear. Mike Burke, a spokesman of the Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, said about 20 patients were brought to the hospital by an ambulance and helicopter, "and more are on the way."
The high school band posted a picture on his Facebook page, with several members wearing Mickey Mouse ears outside of Disney World, a few hours before the crash.
It is unclear what caused the bus to fall into the ravine. Another bus that was traveling with the vehicle was not involved in the crash, and continued the journey to Texas.
Interstate 10 was closed in both directions after the incident. The police said the interstate will be closed for at least another two hours to remove the bus and investigate the incident.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Elfriede Jelinek
Elfriede Jelinek was born in Mürzzuschlag/Steiermark, Austria in 1946 and grew up in Vienna. Already at the age of four she was given ballet and French lessons. Thereafter she underwent comprehensive musical training. In 1960 she started studying piano and composition at the Vienna Conservatory. After passing her A levels in 1964 she changed to the Vienna University and studied dramatics and history of art. In 1967 she discontinued her studies and took up writing. Her poetry and prose texts were published in anthologies and literary magazines prior to the appearance of her first book "Wir sind lockvögel baby" (1970). Elfriede Jelinek ranks among the most important German-speaking contemporary authors. In 2004 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her first theater play "Was geschah, nachdem Nora ihren Mann verlassen hatte oder Stützen der Gesellschaften" was first performed in 1979. Since then she has written numerous other theatrical plays, which have been staged by directors, such as Claus Peymann, Frank Castorf, Einar Schleef, Christoph Schlingensief, Johan Simons and frequently by Nicolas Stemann. She has been honored with numerous prizes and awards, including the Georg-Büchner-Preis, the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis and the Else-Lasker-Schüler-Preis for her overall dramatic work. Many of her plays have been (first) performed at the Münchner Kammerspiele, such as "In den Alpen", "Wolken.Heim", "Ulrike Maria Stuart" and "Rechnitz (Der Würgeengel)" as well as "Winterreise", "Die Straße. Die Stadt. Der Überfall" and "Das schweigende Mädchen".
During the 2015/16 season, Nicolas Stemann staged her latest play "Wut" – the reason for its creation was the Paris terror attack.

I have been blogging for two months straight today! Big pat on my back. 🙂 I have been blogging for years now, but never everyday…Though nothing like writing a book, I feel like I've accomplished a feat that I didn't know I could do. Much like writing a novel, I'm sure authors have days where nothing comes to mind, and it feels harder than other days. Same thing goes for blogging…Before I'd just give up, and decide to post another day. Now I feel a habit forming. There are some days however, I just stare at the computer hoping some topic pops out and slaps me in the face! So, to go two months without missing a day has me smiling! I understand there are thousands of you out there taking the challenge that are still going strong. Good for you! Keep it up.
I have always had a fantasy to write a novel. In grade 8 I think, my English teacher gave me a glowing review and subsequent A+ for a short essay I wrote. She told me that someday I should be a writer. That has always stuck with me. After taking university English though, I realised that I just don't have the brain to come up with complex characters, and intriguing story lines. I suppose that if I printed out all my ramblings the last four years, I'm bound to have a novel. What would I name it? The nonsensical Ramblings of an Atheist? I better copyright the title just in case…
One useful and fulfilling thing I am doing more is reading other blogs and leaving comments. I love when people comment on my site. It gives me pleasure to know people actually read and feel compelled to share with me. When does that happen to an author of a book?
I have lots of good intentions to improve my prose, and wander around looking for inspiration. If you are looking for some motivation and suggestions like me on how to write better, check out Catherine, Caffeinated. And, go grab a cup of coffee when you do!(mmm, coffee…) I love the post about Making a Living as a Writer in the 21st Century! It is like the next step that every blogger wishes they would take if they had the time and dedication to get to publishing their very own book. I love the use of technology to promote a modern form of a book. The e-book…

Introduce yourself and what you do?
I am Dilushi Prasanna, a Graphic designer and Illustrator. I was born and raised in Kuwait, but decided to venture design as well as devour my motherland, Sri Lanka.
How did you get started?
My father who is a Graphic Designer himself encouraged me to follow his footsteps. Initially as a child I was keen on becoming a Fashion Designer. Later during my 1st year in university I was still skeptical about my Graphic Design major. It didn't take me long enough to develop an interest in the subject and knew that it was my expertise.
Who and what inspires you right now?
I come from a legacy of artists, all the way from grand parents to my father, mother and brother. At home I was always encouraged to be creative whether it was school homework or getting dressed, so my biggest inspirations naturally came from home itself. Other than family I absolutely love VICE and their entire sub network such as Viceland, Broadly, Munchies etc. Since fashion has also played a major role in my life I try to fuse my interest in it as well my skills in graphics when creating designs. Currently I eyeball on Hypebeast and i-D for fashion related inspirations. I also follow some needle and poke tattoo artists on Instagram that have incredible artwork and have a culture of their own.
What was a challenging aspect to getting started?
The most challenging aspect was being able to visualize an idea and not being able to execute it. It was like I knew everything I needed to know but wasn't able to prove it. It took me a good while to know Adobe Illustrator for my digital artwork and now it has become my backbone. I still have a long way to go but to evolve from all the terrible fonts and designs I've made, I'm grateful!
Where can others find your work?

Are you Super Mario Run player? Have you played it to extreme level? Good new for you.
Nintendo UK (Super Mario Run developer) is planning a new and major update on September 29th (Next week).
The new update might include more interesting levels, new characters and new playing modes. New features might be enough to tempt some gamers back to the title or even get a few Mario fans playing it for the first time.
A new #SuperMarioRun update arrives 29/09, including a new world, new mode, new playable character, and more! pic.twitter.com/JevstvBtr7— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) September 23, 2017
Full version of the game is also available with special price of £4.99 between Sept 29 – Oct 12 — Nintendo announced on twitter.
To commemorate the upcoming #SuperMarioRun update, the full game will be available for £4.99 starting 29/09 until 12/10. pic.twitter.com/vc870rsEQ1— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) September 23, 2017
What more?
In the update, there is a new world called World Star, that will be unlocked after you complete six levels. There are 9 additional levels in World star.
Super Mario Run has more than 900k downloads so far and last update came on May 23, 2017 with some bug fixes. In the version, you can listen your own music while playing game and if you are doing so, characters might be shown with headphones.
It's been a while since Super Mario Run got some love from Nintendo (which has had other launches on its mind) but better late than never – it's good to see the gaming giant staying committed to its mobile titles months after they first hit.

Welcome to BOBscaping!
The most common question about shrub trimming is: "When?" With flowering shrubs, the easiest "rule of thumb" to remember is to always trim flowering shrubs within one month after they finish blooming. That way you won't risk removing next year's blossoms which have already begun to form.
Most shrubs are trimmed following their annual flush of growth. But some shrubs can suffer from late-summer trimming, which can cause a late flush of growth that doesn't properly harden-off before the arrival of winter weather.
The most severe cutting-back of shrubs is best done in early spring, just prior to the emergence of new growth. We've had success rejuvenating large Yews, Junipers, Lilacs, Rhododendrons, and many other varieties during this early-season timeframe.
Keep your shears very sharp and properly adjusted for clean cuts.
Occasionally scrape away any resin buildup between the blades.
WD-40 helps clean and lubricate.
Junipers will shear much better in the cool of the morning.
Pay attention and keep your fingers and legs away from the blades.
"Candle" describes well the new growth on Mughos and other Pines (photos above and below). 1/2 to 2/3 of each new candle should be trimmed off after the candle fully elongates, but before the needles elongate - this is usually during June in SW Pennsylvania. Using these methods will keep your pines compact and well shaped.

The District of North Vancouver is tossing around names for two North Vancouver communities–communities that already have names, but apparently the names aren't spiffy enough to justly represent the epic redevelopment they're about to endure.
These are the vital aspects of municipal politics, people.
District Council has narrowed it down to two names for each community: Lower Capilano will either be "Lions Gate Village" or "Capilano Village" and Seylynn will be known as the "Bridges District" or "Lynn Bridges".
Again, I'd like to remind readers how serious this task is. These names aren't just names. They're NEW NAMES. A fresh start! A clean slate!
If Seylynn is Bruce Jenner, then Lynn Bridges is Caitlyn Jenner.
In the spirit of re-christening these existing communities with existing names, I'd like to throw out a few suggestions:
Lower Capilano
South West North Vancouver Village
Capilano Township
Klahanie Cocoon
Tin Palace Stumble
Denny's Den
Lions Gate Bridge Off-Ramp Valley
Capilano Crossing
Smog Town
Lynn Bin
Lynnley Land
Toby's Armpit
Toby's Crotch
(really any crevasse belonging to Toby is solid)
Six Bridges
Infinite Construction Site
What do YOU think we should name these communities?

Stock market has crashed!! Already I have made some bargain purchases in the local market. Some my friends and colleagues says it will go even lower, so why buy now??
The main reason is that when its that low. Nobody will sell it anyway. So the best time to buy is actually when the market is going down, but have not bottomed out. Then what you do is to hold the stock for as long as possible (long term investments of at least 2 years). So even if the stock does not rebound. You most probably will get something out of their dividends payout. (I always look out for companies that are financially sound and has a good roadmap)
So what did I invested this time?? :) Just some stocks on energy related, agriculture and communications. As the title suggest. Now's the time to BUY... hehehe

live love - life vision
If you have a vision of what you desire your life to look like, this is the place for you. Here you will find all you need to set out and reach your goals. There is never a better time than now to make the changes you have been dreaming of. Everything from health, creativity, jobs, wealth, and family is within your reach. Each action we take, moves us in a direction. Move forward with the fun and purpose driven activities here to jump start your dreams and create the life you desire.
Create a Vision Board
I am a visual person by every sense of the word. For this reason and about a million more, I regularly create vision boards as a means to narrow the focus of my dreams and desires. If you have never heard of a vision board before, they are basically goal manifesting collages that are seriously helpful in guiding you to create a life you love.
Truth be told, I felt a bit silly when making my first vision board. How on earth was cutting out images and words going to help me fulfill my destiny and make all my dreams come true? But sure enough, whenever I would lose focus or feel defeated by whatever was going on, there was my vision board as a silent reminder of the things I truly wanted to work towards. Like a love letter to my future self just waiting for me to make things happen. Magic, I tell you, magic!
I've been making them for five years either on my birthday or around the start of a new year. That being said, there is no perfect time to create a vision board, so get out the scissors and tape, and make one because, being connected to your personal truth is never a wasted effort.
Let's get visioning!
Here are my go-to steps to creating a kick-booty vision board:
Make a list of the areas in your life that are important to you. (family/friends, career, health, creativity, wealth, love, travel, etc.) Really think about the areas of your life that you would like to focus on. Breathe deeply into what you'd like to grow. When was the last time you truly thought about it was that you wanted? Focus on the areas that will bring your heart the most joy. Those are the topics to stick with.
BONUS - next to each area of focus write down how you want to feel as you are growing them and once you have achieved them.
Start a Pinterest board or grab yourself some magazines. (click here to see my on going Pinterest - vision board) Here comes the fun part. Look at your areas of focus list and feelings and look for images that represent them. For example, if you want to feel free to travel the world, you might look for images in exotic places. Once you have found enough images, look for words, phrases, colors, or patterns that inspire you. Don't overthink it. Go with you what your gut is telling you and most importantly have fun! PS - As a part of our Love Your Life ecouse, you will receive a printable of my favorite vision board words and phrases to use when creating your own. Click the link below to join.
Draft out your images on your board. Organize your images however you like. There are no rules. If your images don't cover the entire board, don't worry. This space can be left empty with the eventual intention to add more as you become inspired.
Hang your board someplace you will see it often. You might want to make a smaller board to keep on your desk at work, or hang it in the bathroom as a reminder when getting ready for the day. The idea is you want to keep your vision and feelings in the front of your mind. My favorite tip here is to take a photo of your vision board and make it the wallpaper on your computer and/or phone.
Feel it and be it. Daydream, visualize, focus your intentions, and get excited about what you are bringing into your life. The more you can see and feel your vision board as being your reality the more you will attract the things on it.
Share it. Show it to your friends and family, or better yet, ask if they want to come over for a vision board party and create them together.
BONUS - I would love nothing more than to see your vision boards. If you feel like sharing, send me an email (email@example.com) or message me through Instagram. I'd love to help celebrate your goals with you!

This is easy enough for a quick weekday meal, but tasty and pretty enough for dinner with friends and family. I used fresh rosemary since I have a tree for the holidays. You can substitute any fresh herb for the basil.
4 barramundi filets (or other white fish)
Grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons pasture butter
1 small garlic clove
½ tsp sea salt
3 tbsp lemon juice
4-6 basil leaves
Rinse filets and pat dry with paper towel.
Add Grapeseed oil to pan on medium high heat.
Sauté the filets for 3-5 minutes (skin side up).
Flip filets and cook for additional 1-2 minutes.
Gently sauté the butter and garlic for about 2 minutes.
Add salt, lemon juice and herb of your choice (basil, rosemary, sage, etc.).
Remove from heat and pour over fillets before serving.
Serves 4
I served it alongside a simple salad and steamed cauliflower and Romanesco. It's a hit with the entire family, including my 6 year old son!

Organics Removal with Anion Exchange
by TJ Stroebl, Tonka Water
The Village of Ohio, Illinois recently commissioned their new water treatment plant to remove iron, manganese, arsenic, and color from the groundwater supply, by installing an integrated Tonka treatment system. A Dualator® VI, which incorporates aeration, detention and filtration, is used to remove the iron, manganese and arsenic. The unit is 11 feet in diameter and is designed to operate at 275 gpm. A Tonka ORGANIX™ anion exchange system was installed downstream of the Dualator® to remove dissolved organic compounds associated with color.
Proving the process
During 2006-2007, Tonka conducted a pilot study on site under the supervision of the Village engineer, Willet, Hoffman & Associates. The study showed that removal of iron, manganese and arsenic was feasible with Tonka's Dualator® VI system; however, color was not consistently removed to acceptable levels with this process alone. In anticipation of this, Tonka had also piloted anion exchange downstream of the filters, and the result was that anion exchange consistently yielded exceptionally colorless water.
Assuring Consistent Organics Removal results
Tonka has been utilizing anion exchange for over ten years to remove dissolved organic matter (NOM) associated with color and disinfection by-product formation. Organic matter is removed when ionized carboxylic groups on these large organic molecules exchange with chloride ions on a specially selected resin. Additional removal is achieved by means of adsorption within the resin pores due to electrostatic, hydrophobic, and Van der Waals interactions. The Tonka ORGANIX™ System operates similar to a water softener, using a bed of ion exchange resin inside an ASME pressurized vessel. It is periodically regenerated with a sodium chloride brine solution, controlled by a custom designed control panel.
Pilot study is a critical step
The extent of NOM removal depends on the specific molecular weight distribution of the dissolved organics and varies among water sources: Tonka has seen between 50 and 90 percent removal of NOM at various locations throughout the US. This means that piloting is critical for any site considering what to do for organic removal. Piloting at Ohio, IL predicted& organic-induced color removal from 45 CU to less than 5 CU, and we're happy to say that the full scale system is achieving these results

Think of it as reverse-steampunk if you will.
Instead of re-imagining an outrageous future from the affected vantage point of 19th century Europe, we see here a satirical take on our steam-driven future from the actual vantage point of 1829 England.
Titled "March of Intellect, Lord how this world improves as we grow older," the piece takes a satirical and skeptical shot at the future of steam power. We see a crazy world of fantastic flying machines, castles in the air, a vacuum tube public transportation system, a "servant suspending apparatus" and undersea tunnels.
What a ridiculous vision of the future, right?
But of course now we have flying machines and undersea tunnels. One day we might even get that vacuum tube train. Castles in the sky might be a bit more far-fetched, but we DO have a space station. So take that, British political cartoonist William Heath (1795-1840) (AKA Paul Pry). You might have been having a laugh at all the technological progress but, as with Albert Robida, we see that it behooves a futurist to have one's tongue placed firmly in cheek.
Now let's take a closer look at that train.

Tim is a great guy and was helpful, but overall our project was very delayed and went over budget. We felt like we often ended up with many of the second string subs. I think NS was just over-extended working on several other projects, while ours wasn't always considered a priority. To this day, almost 2 years later, we're still waiting a few painting details to get finished.
Working with Phil Winston and Topher Blair from Northstar Builders was a wonderful experience. They took our plans and elevated our project with better ideas. They were very respectful of our property and completed the project in record time. We are VERY satisfied and grateful to the NB team!
Northstar Builders was very good at helping me understand the process and timeline. I don't think there is a builder out there that can compete with their quality and speed.
By far the best builders I have had the pleasure of working with. I have built seven commercial hospitality projects over the years. No builder has impressed me as much as Northstar.
Northstar builders did an excellent job of keeping our project on budget and schedule. We are very happy with our new home!
Northstar builders did an excellent job of keeping our project on budget and schedule. we are very happy with our new home! Professional, organized and efficient and answered all of our questions.
When you build a house you always hope the builder has your own standards of quality. Northstar met and exceeded that criteria. They acted as if they were building a house they intended to live in. We are very satisfied with their work.
Thanks, Northstar. You know we're satisfied. We would do it again, but don't want to move for years!!!
We had an overall good experience with Northstar. They live in our neighborhood, so we felt they were more friends in the end. They very much understand our neighborhood.
If you are looking for quality craftsmanship for a new build or a remodel, Northstar will deliver. The owners of Northstar take pride in what they do. It is visible at every level of their business. I have recommended Northstar to my personal friends. I have no hesitation in doing so. Northstar builds and remodels high end amazing quality homes at a competitive, reasonable price.
I have already recommended friends to Northstar builders without any hesitation. They stand by and guarantee their work. From the owners of the company to all of the subcontractors and assistants you can tell they want to build quality homes.

Via Facebook Mark Baratelli contacted me and asked if he could borrow my printer so he could print photos for an upcoming show. Every third Thursday of each month Mark puts on a "Mobile Art Show" in a U-Haul truck parked outside City Arts Factory. This month he plans to showcase all the photos that have been take for thedailycity.com. We bounced ideas back and forth on where we could meet and we decided to meet at WPRK a radio station located on the Rollins College campus. Mark would be there to showcase upcoming arts and culture events as listed on thedailycity.com. I arrived early so I would have a full hour to sketch. Jeremy Seghers, the Out and About host, greeted me and then got his guest situated for his on air interview. Seated in the guest chair was Jesse Nager who is now appearing in Xanadu at the Bob Carr Theater. Jesse also discussed a cabaret show he organized with friends of his. An album is being released called "The Broadway Boys" that features hits from this group of talented singers. He wanted to stress that that even people who don't usually listen to show tunes would like these performances. He expressed how fun it was to collaborate with so many of his friends.
Jesse and Jeremy discussed the plot line of Xanadu at some length and now I am really curious to see this Broadway musical. It seems the play pokes fun at itself and it's 1970's culture and should be very campy and fun. The music to this show I have heard many times many times on the radio, not realizing it was from a Broadway show.
Zac Alfson was also on hand to promote the Cabaret House Party at Mad Cow Theater featuring K. T. Sullivan. I will be going to this Cabaret performance tonight and I hope to get a good sketch of K.T. Zac pointed out that there will be cabaret performances every night through May 16th. The Mad Cow offers an intimate setting in which to experience these one of a kind acts.

Roaming charges will still be in place beyond 2018, despite plans to have them dismantled by the end of this year, according to the latest proposals from the European Commission.
Despite the fact that members of European parliament voted to abolish roaming fees by the end of 2015, the European Commission today proposed a softly-softly approach.
Rather than instructing the European parliament to write new laws to protect consumers from high fees when they travel across member states, as originally planned, the Commission will "assess by mid-2018 what further measures may be needed" with a view to phasing out roaming charges and will only propose new laws to address the situation then.
The Commission's new pricing mechanism means a basic roaming allowance will be offered to customers, limited to a certain amount of calls, texts and data services. After this, the operator may charge a fee.
Open internet
The Comission added that blocking, or slowing specific content or applications will be prohibited, unless necessary. For example, ISP customers may request certain spam blocks or firms could use it to prevent cyber attacks.
Paying for higher speed access will be regulated on a country-by-country basis, overseen by national regulatory bodies, the Commission said – an entirely different stance to the US who have championed net neutrality. Speaking during Mobile World Congress Tom Wheeler, chairman of the US federal communications commission said: "This is no more regulating the internet than the first amendment regulates free speech in our country."

Your body:
Aches and pains and nausea. Oh my! Your sweet little passenger continues to put pressure on your organs, veins, muscles, and ligaments. It's so worth the discomfort though, once you hold your precious baby all thoughts of discomfort will melt away (only 30 more weeks to go!). Your body is working extra hard to help grow a baby, but you may not be getting all the rest you need. Weird and surprising dreams are totally normal during pregnancy, and these should subside soon enough. Now that you've reached the 10 week mark, you're probably starting to look pregnant. It's a good time to start stocking up on some maternity clothes that you'll need soon enough!
Your baby:
Your child's vital organs are fully developed and beginning to function, while hair and fingernails start to appear. Now baby is measuring in at a little over an inch long and .14 ounces in weight. You'll want to catch some extra zzz's as baby will almost double in length in the next three weeks.
Check with your doctor on what you can and can't do regarding exercise

2Vancouver.com Launches Matchmaking Service for Immigrants
Travel and immigration website 2Vancouver.com has launched a business matchmaking service to enhance the online support it provides to newcomers to the city.
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) December 18, 2013
2Vancouver.com which was launched in 2011 by French-born entrepreneur Francois Roux and UK based Grant Willavise, has grown rapidly since its inception. The tri-lingual site featured information on immigration, work, travel, education and lifestyle and grew to become an essential source of information for the thousands of immigrants and students who flock to Vancouver every year.
The new matchmaking service will connect new arrivals directly to the services they need such as immigration lawyers and consultants, moving companies, financial advisors, insurance companies, ESL schools, realtors, and property managers. All visitors to the site have to do is fill out an online form detailing their request on 2Vancouver.com. Up to three pre-screened companies will then be put in touch with the person making the request and they can choose the organization which best suits their needs.
"When people arrive in a new country, they often don't have the contacts and local knowledge we take for granted," says Francois Roux. "By acting as a go-between we make it easier for them to access the expertise they need. It is a free, completely consumer-driven service. They tell us what they need and we match them to the service providers within hours of receiving the request."
Since launching the matchmaking service the site has received more than 2,000 requests with inquiries coming from a wide variety of locations including Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Norway, USA, India, Algeria and even Syria. Satisfied customers include a company based in Mexico City seeking visa advice. Within an hour of making the request, they received a call from a Vancouver immigration consultant who they subsequently hired.
With 50,000 permanent residents, more than 50,000 students settling in Metro Vancouver each year, and as many as 150,000 temporary workers in BC at any given time, Vancouver is the perfect testing ground for the new service says Roux. "We are testing it out in Vancouver and if we get a positive market response, we will roll the concept out to other cities. Our immigration matchmaking service really is a better way to relocate."

SO good, great wine too/
Y'all, this spinach pie rocked! I would use less salt next time, but I loved the radicchio addition, and overall, this is just a darn good dish. And how could it not be with 7 eggs, 1 stick of butter, 2 pounds of spinach and so forth?! Ooh! For a (probably unnecessary) side, I made roasted potatoes and mushrooms with Meyer lemon zest and mint. Aren't these purple potatoes insanely pretty?
We also opened a terrific bottle of wine for a little celebration: the Juslyn 2005 Cab. Friends in Chicago on Sedgwick, you would LOVE this.
