Shadowfax and I did this post-apocalyptic RP a couple of years ago, I suggested a remake...and here I am, remodelling characters.
Name: George Anthony Winslow
Age: 23 years old
Place of birth: Outskirts of North London
Appearance: 5 foot 10, dark slightly curly hair, grey eyes, lanky but fairly lean, soft facial features, general style tends to be shirts w/ jeans and a nice pair of trainers, likes wearing a good jacket
Personality: George is a creative young man who enjoys new experiences and adventures. You could say all the depressing literature he has read has made him somewhat of a pessimist, but he has moments of great determination, especially when he cares deeply about something. He is known for being thoughtful and generous, but also known for his short temper when annoyed. He is protective of those he loves, and can choose whether to be compassionate or cruel when need be.
History: Born to fairly wealthy parents, George has wanted for nothing. That being said, he never got too big for his boots and was aware of how lucky he was. He had a pleasant childhood, and is very close with his younger sister Cassie. He was pushed hard in education, and it paid off when he got into Cardiff university to study English Literature (although his parents would've preferred a Science subject). He got on with mostly everyone at university, both people on his course and off his course. He made his best friend while studying, a Welsh student named Lloyd. The two shared a flat in their second and third years and stayed in frequent contact when they parted ways. George moved back to London and worked as a columnist for a newspaper for a year before the outbreak took place. His life was naturally turned upside down when the pandemic hit, and all of his immediate family was wiped out apart from Cassie. The world turned to anarchy as people slowly died off, and he and Cassie are currently travelling from town to town surviving, hoping there's a large refuge somewhere.
Name: Cassie (Cassandra) Elizabeth Winslow
Age: 17 years old
Place of birth: Outskirts of North London
Appearance: 5 foot 5, long slightly wavy blonde hair, greenish grey eyes, slim with slight curves, soft facial features, loves comfy jumpers and jeggings but doesn't say no to a dress either
Personality: Definitely more of an optimist than her brother, Cassie is bright and cheerful most of the time. She shares her brother's passion towards thing she enjoys, in this case, anything historical or political. That being said, she has led quite a sheltered life and therefore can be a little more sensitive to the world around her. She feels the need to help all the people she can, but her naturally trusting nature can get her into trouble. Cassie certainly has more raw intelligence than she does common sense.
History: Similarly to her brother, she had a loving upbringing without want or need. Luckily, her brother instilled that same virtue of 'knowing you're lucky' from a young age, so she has rarely acted bratty in her life. She has grown up with a physical condition called hemiplegia, a weakness down the right side of her body that leaves her fairly prone to cramp, the shakes and very rarely, brief paralysis. This has slowed her down somewhat, but she still enjoys an active life, even if she can't go crazy. The condition also affects her problem solving and concentration skills. Before the outbreak, she was attending her last year of sixth form studying A-Levels, having received offers from numerous universities. Her life looked pretty set - she had a large group of friends and a bright future. It all came crashed down when the outbreak hit. She is still emotionally fragile about the loss of her family, more so than George, but slowly she is realising that this is the way life is now. She wants to survive, and has far greater hope of a new society out there.
Name: Lloyd Evans
Age: 24 years old
Place of birth: Newport
Appearance: 5 foot 11, shortish blonde hair, blue eyes, average build with slight muscular figure, defined jawline, stubble, not too fussed on his outfit choice but is happy in a comfy tee
Personality: Lloyd is very confident, to the point where he slips into arrogance. However, this is looked over by his peers because of his humours and charming persona. He picks things up rather quickly, and has proved his intelligence to those who doubt it multiple times. He is a natural flirt, he knows he's good looking and he flaunts it. However, being his confident facade is a man with an addictive personality and someone who is more than capable of having a mean streak.
History: Lloyd grew up in a rather rough area. While he had loving parents who encouraged him in education, they and his peers all had habits that he soon adopted. Drinking and smoking. He was involved in petty crime at a young age, never getting caught, but always with a guilty conscience. Neither were good for his health, he knew that, but it didn't stop him from pursing a Sports Science degree at university. It took a lot of hard work at A-Levels, but he got to Cardiff university. He had to commute from home due to the lack of money in the family, but it didn't stop him making a wide group of friends. In particular, George Winslow, who he lived with for most of his uni life thanks to George offering to pay a large percentage of the rent. He is forever grateful, and also grateful for that fact that George convinced him to vape instead of smoke to quell the habit. The drinking still continued, but under George's watchful eye it never became an issue. The two parted ways when university finished, and Lloyd decided he wanted to pursue a career with the police as a kind of turn around. He was a year into his training when the outbreak happened. Everyone he personally knew had died, and was unable to get in contact with anyone outside Wales. Luckily for him, he had managed to gain access to the police station and horded many of their weapons and equipment, which came in handy for later being accepted into one of the wandering gangs that had begun to form because of the anarchy. He's not proud of himself and the terrorising he's involved with in this post-apocalyptic world, but he can't see another option - not yet.
Name: Matthew Scott
Age: 25 years old
Place of birth: Glasgow
Appearance: 6 foot 1, almost black hair that's usually styled, dark eyes, looks about average but harbours some muscle, tries to keep clean shaven, likes to make a presence and keeps himself well groomed whatever he wears
Personality: The first thing everyone notices about Matt is his seemingly split persona. While remaining cruel and manipulative, he either chooses to be loud and unpredictable, or quiet and calculating. Somewhat of a sadist, he enjoys other people's pain and being in control of said pain. He's quite happy to kill to make a point, but would much rather people live and work for him so he has the opportunity to be in power. There is an element of paranoia and lack of trust around his fellow humans that he does not always show, he likes to maintain the strong 'boss' image.
History: Matthew grew up in a wealthy family, though his parents had been divorced from an early age. Being one of four children, the second to last born, he was often ignored and pushed aside as a child. This lead to resentment early on in his life and things did not persevere. Being deemed quiet and odd by his fellow schoolmates, he received little social interaction - however, he was beginning to develop a need to hurt to make a point. It was only in his later years that he started being violent, earning him trust from criminals. He had managed to secure himself in a job that was part of a pyramid scheme and put on a professional facade. He accumulated dirty money and friends before the outbreak, and now the world has turned to anarchy, he happily leads a group of bandits to terrorise other survivors into working for him across the country (working his way south), handing over supplies and essentially, give up their lives to his hands.

Well, guess what? With the right color combination (and Pinterest can be a great help here) you turn these leaves into an autumn, winter, spring, or summer wreath! To celebrate fall, here's the card that I made – check out the video below!
Hi Friends! Meredith here with a busy card made using the newly (and CRAZY adorable) set called Flap Happy. This set has THE cutest and most diverse selection of birds I've ever seen. I had a great time coloring these cuties using my Prismacolor pencils. I then masked off the birds and sponged Peacock Feathers and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks for the background. Once I was done, I added some Heidi Swapp spray color in white using the straw of my sprayer to achieve the look of splatter paint. I then used Pebbles Inc 6x6 paper pack called Yours Truly for the background panels. My panels are stitched with red thread to make them pop and I've added a few different Die-namics brand dies (MFT) to embellish the background. I also added some sparkly silver glitter flat back dots all around in groups. The clouds are cut using an MFT die but you'll notice that I also cut the same clouds out of white craft foam (available anywhere you can buy kids crafts). I purposefully let them be a bit off set and stitched them down the center for some added depth.
Hi, everyone! Heather P. here with my card for this week, and I just can't get enough of the new Big Time set... So gorgeous! To create my card, I started by stamping one of the flower images from Pick One in a light gray ink onto a white card base. I then cut some yellow CS strips and adhered them to the card front. Next, I stamped one of the sentiments from Big Time in teal ink, then fussy cut it out. Some berry leaf images were stamped from Pick One in black ink onto white CS before fussy cutting them. To finish up, I adhered the sentiment and leaves to the card front with pop dots, then embellished with red enamel dots.
Hi it's N@ Ali. Here's a little card from me today, I water-colored one of the cute turtles from It's My Party.

Laptops are a useful piece of technology. When buying a laptop for school, entertainment, or work, it can boost your life. With laptop performance and features improving, it isn't always easy to keep up with the technology. Read this article to find the knowledge you need in regards to buying new laptop computer.
Examine your funds thoroughly before you jump into a new laptop purchase. Your needs may dictate what kind of budget you will set. Do you like Macs better than PCs? Macs provide impressive graphics and are therefore loved by those who thrive on advanced graphics.
It's important to decide on a budget before going shopping. Keeping your budget in mind, you want to find the best mix of accessories and power for you. Do you prefer a Mac over a PC? Macs have the advantage of superior graphics technology which is great for those who use graphic-rich programs.
Think about how many pounds the laptop is. A laptop that is heavy can hurt your back, so opt for the lightweight options if you need portability. Lighter computers don't always cost more. But, you may enjoy less battery life.
If you plan to watch any HD movies or engage in lots of gaming, it is better to get a laptop that has dedicated graphics chips. Some laptops cannot be used to play with advanced games. Decide between a quad core chip and a dual core processor.
Before you make your final purchase online, look for any coupon deals through Google or other deal sites. There may not be any, but make sure you do a search first. It's better to go in with a clear mind then to later out find out you lost the ability to save 15% more.
To save money, buy a laptop that does not have word processing software already installed. You may end up paying full price for these programs. Instead, buy the software off of a discount vendor online. You will typically save a third off the retail price, sometimes even much more.
Just because a laptop costs more, doesn't mean it is better. Expensive devices aren't always the best. Status and brand name often contribute to a higher price. You want to look at the specifications more closely than price.
Before buying a laptop, consider the type of work you'll be doing. That will help determine how much money you'll need to spend. Simple email checking and Internet browsing doesn't need half the machine that gaming or professional applications require. Consider what you need the machine for to determine how much machine you need.
Before you make a final decision, check to see if your potential laptop comes with a hard drive and RAM which can be upgraded in the future. Though you may not require such features at this point in time, that could change. It will be less than buying a brand new computer. Think about this before you finally decide and make your purchase.
Laptop Cooler
Don't confuse netbooks with laptops. Some people believe that netbooks are simply small laptops, but they are incorrect. While netbooks do provide you with Internet connectivity to a degree, they do not have many of the capabilities that laptops have. If you need a laptop, don't settle for a netbook.
When you get a laptop, make sure to get a laptop cooler as well. You might not know just how warm laptops get. A laptop cooler will help your laptop remain cool when you are using it.
Get a tablet computer if you will be using it for entertainment. The great thing about a tablet is that it can be used for downloading apps and that means you'll always have access to your software. Most tablets can be accessed by a wireless keyboard, which means it would be simple to write emails, compose recipes or take notes.
Many people do not understand what netbooks are. Plenty of people have the wrong impression, thinking that these are just small laptops. If you only need to surf the Web or check email, netbooks work, but only laptops feature full portable personal computer capability. Although netbooks have their purpose, they are not a good substitute for a laptop computer.
Make sure you're looking out for the memory space that is available on your laptop. This lets you know when you must remove those programs that you don't want in order to free some space up. Reducing the held-up memory also increases speed.
Create a list of all the things you hope to do with your laptop. Do you want to use it in the kitchen for cooking? If that is the case, you will need waterproof accessories. Use the list you wrote to determine what features are absolutely necessary.
Customize your laptop for a better experience. It's easy to purchase a preloaded laptop and be done with it. But, it may not quite match your requirements or fit your budget. You may pay less for customizing something because you can avoid features you don't need and get features that you really do need.
The LCD display on a laptop will use up a lot of energy. To help out your battery life, take the brightness down a notch or two. Dimming your display will greatly increase the life of your battery.
When you're going to buy a new laptop, make sure that you check around online for the best price. You don't need to buy online, but you can get a ballpark figure of how much you'll pay, depending on the specs you want. Be careful with comparisons of the same features and models to make sure they're valid.
Shop smart when you shop for a laptop. Retail outlets allow you to get a feel for how a laptop will fit your needs. Try out several different models. Use the keyboard and mouse to figure out what suits you best. After you determine your favorite, you can always order it online and shop for the best price.
With laptops, the brand just comes into play for the machine's reputation. Make sure you see what people have to say about the different major brands. You'll find that most brands have the same reputation, so purchasing one or the other won't make much of a difference.
If you can't afford the laptop you want, you could get a refurbished one. The cost can be quite low, and if the warranty is good, you will have minimal risk. Many don't cause their owners issues, so many great models are within reach.
If shopping for a laptop online, be sure to deal only with sites that offer free shipping. If you're able to locate a machine that meets the needs you have, and you probably will, then you will be able to save quite a bit of money compared to retail prices.
If you use your laptop for banking, work or even if you only use it for personal use, consider purchasing a laptop that has good security features. Some laptops have software built into them for security. But, keep in mind that nothing is completely fail safe, so maintain vigilance at all times.
For people who love games or people who need memory intensive work programs, a dedicated graphics card is not necessarily a must have option. These strong GPUs kill battery life and use a ton of power. Many people buy laptops because they think they need the dedicated GPU, but oftentimes never utilize it beyond the capabilities of an integrated one.
Are you in need of a laptop for just simple surfing and email checking? Google Chromebooks are a good choice if you are only going to check email and search the web. There isn't a full-fledged OS in these units and there's limited storage in the computer. However, you will enjoy a robust browser experience along with excellent speed and performance. They are also quite affordable. You can sometimes find them under $300.
It is not necessary to buy an extended warranty. These warranties usually bring in lots of extra money for the business, often at the customer's expense. With complex electronics like laptops, most of the potential problems you have to worry about will occur within the period covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If a longer warranty does interest you, buy from a firm that offers them standard.
You can save money by choosing laptops with less memory. You needn't pay for a one-terabyte hard drive if you have no need for it. Look for a laptop with less storage and a lower price tag. Alternatively, put the savings into additional storage and enhanced processing capabilities.
Many people purchase a laptop for the portability aspect. There are some downsides to having the ultimate portable machine. In order to save weight, smaller laptops may be lacking features like optical (i.e. CD/DVD/Blu-Ray) drives, spacious hard drives, or even connection ports. Ensure you get all the features you need when shopping for a tinier laptop.
If you want to get yourself a gaming laptop, then it's your lucky day. Every major seller has laptop models specifically designed for gamers. You can customize them if you buy from an online seller. If you decide go another way, you have to research the features you need yourself.
Make sure that you have a light laptop so you can carry it around easily. Try out the mouse and keyboard to make sure they are easy for you to use. Using the mouse and keyboard on a laptop is much different than using those devices on a desktop computer. Try not to worry so much about the aesthetics of your laptop.
If you will often be in places where your laptop security may be compromised, be certain to invest in a good security system. These days, there are laptops that can use fingerprint or facial recognition so this is not an issue.
If you'd like lessen the possibility of someone stealing your laptop, carry it in something that doesn't look like it contains a laptop. Plain, nondescript bags, diaper bags or an old briefcase are good for disguising the contents.
Select a laptop that you can carry around with ease. It should not be too heavy. You should not have any problems using the mouse or keyboard. If you've never had a laptop, they are different than a desktop. Don't be overly concerned with the appearance of your new laptop.
Make sure to check the ports on the laptop you want to buy. This is very important if you have older computer accessories at home. You might not have the ability to connect an older printer to your laptop if it does not include a serial port. Therefore, it is important to know what you need before you go shopping for a laptop.
Do not let your laptop disappear during the screening process. Instead, make sure you keep an eye out. Laptop bags are not unique, and some people might be looking for a free laptop. Be certain that you are able to keep an eye on it as it goes through any conveyor belt.
To save your wrists from damage associated with using a laptop, set the keyboard's negative tilt tray. This will allow you to have your wrists in positions that are neutral so that you don't strain your muscles and nerves too much which could injure them.
Think about what you have in your house if you wish to decide what laptop is right for you. Do you have Apple TV and an iPhone? You can get more value by getting a Mac that will work seamlessly with these devices. That is also the case for people who get Microsoft and Android on their PC. There may be some additional abilities unlocked due to keeping in the family that will sway your decision.
Make sure that you are comfortable with the style of laptop you choose, especially with things like the mouse. Most manufacturers use different mouse programs so you may not like how one works while another may seem more natural to you. This means you should take the time to get to know a laptop before you make a purchase.
As stated at the beginning of the article, laptops can make your life easier, and are a wonderful technological tool. However, with all this new technology it can sometimes be difficult to figure out what kind of laptop is best for you. Use what you have learned here to help guide you through the process of buying a computer.
Consider the size of the screen when you are looking for a laptop. If the lighting is poor in the area where you keep the laptop, you may not want to get one with a glossy screen. If the work environment has low lighting, a glossy screen may be fine. You may also want a larger, easy to see screen.

Hacking the DVR again
Man, nothing makes you feel more like a hacker than downloading utilities from Taiwan, creating a new driver .inf file, and then changing hex code in the registry. But, after hooking up the LCD TV to the DVR via a DVI --> HDMI conversion cable, that's exactly what I had to do. Apparently, nVidia drivers transmit that audio will come out of the DVI cable, which it doesn't. So, the TV expects both audio and video from the HDMI input, and thus - issues. I needed video only from the HDMI, and then audio from an analog 3.5mm headphone jack. So, Google eventually brought me to this. Bizarre solution, but it worked.

Today (14 July) marks the 114th anniversary of the death of Bertha Spragg (a sister of our 2xgreat grandfather, Philemon Lewis COLEY) at Silverdale. The Brisbane Courier reported it as a "supposed case of suicide".
The event itself raised a number of questions for investigation. Who was this "adopted son" never before mentioned within the family? Did the reference to "Ipswich Hospital" mean the same in the 1890s as it did in the 1950s — a mental health facility? Who believed that "she did not appear to have anything the matter with her" on the day before her death?
The nature of the newspaper story added further layers of complexity. Had it not included a reference to her father (Mr P Coley), the document (which twice mis-spelled her husband's name) might never have been found. How could the paper's "Ipswich Correspondent" have got the name and place of residence wrong but included so much other detail.
Any reader of the depositions sworn at the inquest will form a good idea of which witness was the source for the news story, and cannot help but wonder how or why he would misreport his own address.
On 21 July 1898, Mr Sealy JP concluded that Bertha died by her own hand and that there were "no suspicious circumstances". And there the matter rested.
But modern family members, brought up on a diet of television crime series, would love to ask several of those who gave evidence about the sequence of events, about times and distances, and about the purported reasons for some actions.
Perhaps most of all, we would like to ask Philemon COLEY (the family patriarch) why he did not attend the inquest to report on the events of the week before Bertha's death when was living at her old home,but sent her brother John Thomas instead?
If it is true that every family tree contains at least one dark secret or impenetrable mystery, then the tragic death of Bertha SPRAGG looks like ours.

To spread forth and multiply, fungi — including the familiar button, portobello and shiitake mushrooms — shoot their spores into wafting breezes.
A new paper published Wednesday helps explain how fungi aim the spores in the right direction. Scientists at Duke University constructed larger spores out of plastic spheres and then used an inkjet printer to build water droplets, which are key to the launching mechanism.
The artificial spores and droplets in the experiment were about 10 times the size of ones in nature. That slowed down the motion so it could be captured on video. "With that system, you get what the real spore is doing," Chuan-Hua Chen, a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Duke, said.
Dr. Chen and his colleagues describe the findings in The Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
"This new paper really is an almost miraculous proof of principle," said Nicholas P. Money, a professor of botany at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, who was not involved with the experiment.
For more than a century, the spore-firing prowess of fungi, employed by thousands of species, has been an enthralling enigma for mycologists, the scientists who study fungi. Early in the 20th century, a British-Canadian mycologist named Arthur Henry Reginald Buller — "the Einstein of mycology," Dr. Money called him — sketched the trajectories of the spores, and even largely came up with the correct explanation for how the fungi were launching them.
On mushrooms, spores grow along the gills on the underside of the caps. The size varies, but a typical spore is about 10 microns, or 1/2,500th of an inch, in width, and it is attached at the end of a stalk called a sterigma. In a single day, a mushroom releases billions of spores.
If the spores were merely dropped, many of them would waft back into the parent mushroom and get stuck. "When a spore launches, it has to go far enough that it clears its apparatus," said Anne Pringle, a professor of botany and bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin and a collaborator on the new research.
So a mushroom fires the spores away from the vertical gill — but not so far that they fly into the next gill over. The speed is not that fast — less than 10 miles per hour — and the distance is usually just a few hundred microns before air friction slows down the microscopic spores. But the acceleration is explosive, exerting thousands of times the force of gravity.
Scientists call spores launched in this manner ballistospheres.
At the same time they are traveling away from the gills gravity pulls them down and the spores catch a ride on air currents to spawn into new mushrooms elsewhere.
The energy for propelling the spores turns out to come from the surface tension of water — the forces that cause a drop of water to roll up into a bead on a water-repellent surface.
In his early observations, Buller noticed a tiny droplet next to a spore.
"There's a point at the top of the sterigma, and it has one of the most poetic names in biology," Dr. Pringle said. "It's called the punctum lacryman, which means the point that cries. Something about it, either its texture or its chemistry, means that it accumulates water from the surrounding environment."
Buller hypothesized that when the tiny sphere of fluid — it's now called the Buller's drop — touched the liquid on the spore, the two merged, releasing the surface tension energy and launching the spore.
"He had it very, very close," Dr. Money said.
But the launching was so fast that no one knew for sure. Other scientists offered other ideas like squirty sterigmata, bursting bubbles and electrostatic repulsion.
More than a decade ago, Dr. Pringle and Dr. Money turned to ultrahigh-speed video cameras, capturing 100,000 frames a second, to fill in some of the blanks. Even that was not quite fast enough to capture all of the details of what was going on.
In the new experiment, polystyrene spheres were sliced in the shape of a spherical cap, mimicking the shape of a spore. A lens-shaped drop of water, with some ethanol mixed in to make it sticky enough to stay on the surface, was added on top of the flat side. Drips from an inkjet printer created the Buller's drop next to it until it touched the liquid on the plastic spore.
The merging was still fast — less than a thousandth of a second — but slow enough to be studied. "When they coalesce, they actually get this bounce, which is precisely what we see in nature," Dr. Money said.
The researchers also used computer simulations to show how the merging launched the spore at a right angle to the surface — the perfect direction for the spore to safely ride air currents.
"It's gratifying, after so many years," Dr. Chen said. "We finally saw how to explain this century-old puzzle of directionality."
Mycologists now have a tool to study the process more exactly, varying the shape of the spore or the relative size of the Buller's drop.
It could conceivably even have practical uses. Imagine a surface that cleans itself, flinging away any dirt particles that land on it.

The firm described it as a "major milestone" for carbon capture and storage (CCS) and said early indications are that the undersea site, 40 miles off the Yorkshire coast, is viable for storing up to 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
The North Sea site is close to a number of power stations, oil refineries and industrial plants in the Humber region, which create about a tenth of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions.
Peter Boreham, National Grid's director of European business development, said: "Global energy demand is likely to double in the next 20 years and CCS is the only technology that can turn high-carbon fuels into genuinely low-carbon electricity and keep costs low for consumers.
"Drilling is part of a programme which confirms our confidence that CCS will be a practical part of tomorrow's energy mix. Within Europe, the UK is in a good position to lead on CCS, with clusters of industry and power stations that are near to large storage sites like this one in the North Sea.
"Progress has been supported by an EU grant and this will enable further analysis on the samples we've collected."
National Grid said it would use its expertise in developing gas pipelines to create a network to transport carbon dioxide to a storage site.

So what can we do to help our furkids? Each dog and family is different and therefore, your plan may need to be customized to include several of these options. Some mild cases will respond dramatically to one or just a few of these options and others may need medication assistance as well as environmental controls for relief and behavior modification. I can tell you from experience that patience and persistence are key to helping keep your frightened pet feeling safe from noise phobias so let's begin!
Avoid Triggers: Noise phobic dogs should not be brought to firework displays in the hope that they'll get used to it. In fact, doing so will probably intensify their fears. Situations with very predictable and defined fireworks events should be avoided at all costs. Remove the dog from the location during a firework event.
Manage Your Environment: If your dog prefers to hide, give him a safe place to hide. If your dog is crate trained, sometimes the crate is sufficient. Create a safe haven for your dog with your dog's blanket, cushion and one or two familiar toys. Feed him there or leave tidbits in there frequently for him to find. Let your dog get used to this before the fireworks season (it can be a place that the dog is already accustomed to). Closets, bathrooms and small rooms in the middle of the house may work as well and make your pet feel more comfortable. Make sure to close all doors and windows to limit noise. Playing competing noise from the TV or radio or using white noise might be helpful in some cases. Make sure all blinds, shutters, and curtains are shut during a firework event.
Keep Calm and Don't Scold: Try to stay relaxed, calm, quiet and in-control. If you become anxious your pet will become more anxious. Don't punish your dog if she/he reacts to the sound of fireworks. This will only make them more anxious/reactive. It may also teach him that he was right to be worried in the first place. Remember these pets are in a fearful state and usually punishment or a negative response from you will increase their anxiety.
Exercise: A tired dog is a happy dog. This only works if you know when a noise event is going to happen, but it is very effective when trying to get your pet to relax. If you can get them tired and perhaps even distracted with a toy or dental chew they are more likely to stay distracted.
Pheromones: These products mimic the naturally occurring pheromones/hormones that are produced when a pet is feeling calm, happy and content…the goal is to "trick" their brain into feeling calm, happy and content rather than stressed and anxious. We sell these products for both cats and dogs in a variety of delivery systems (collars, sprays and plug in diffusers); you may also find them in pet stores and on line.
Resisting the Urge to Comfort Them: While it may help some dogs to hold them firmly and lean into them, only do this with dogs who approach you and if you think it will benefit them. Release them if they struggle. Additionally, for some dogs long firm massage strokes may also help. What you want to avoid is "rewarding" your dog for fearful behavior. Rewarding a behavior increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring more often, even when the individual dog is not conscious of being rewarded for it. Give rewards when your dog is behaving confidently, calmly, or happily. Work with your dog to develop ways to elicit these behaviors so that you can do so during storms and then reward.
Desensitization and Counterconditioning: In some cases behavior modification techniques such as desensitization and counter conditioning to sounds from a CD will help with noise phobias. Basically, this is getting your dog used to the sound of fireworks from a CD at a volume that doesn't provoke a full blown fearful or panic reaction and rewarding him for that. This is done gradually until your dog is no longer fearful to the sounds that used to frighten him. This must be done delicately to avoid making the situation worse and it is best to consult with your veterinarian before you embark on this path, so call the clinic and we will set up a consult for you and your dog.
Is it Time for Medication? For the pets in which training or controlling the environment is just not enough, medications may be necessary. There are a variety of anxiety reducing medications and sedatives to aid treatment and minimize your dog's suffering, so call the clinic to make an appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss this solution. Some medications may require baseline blood work to be done first so allow enough time for an exam and labwork to be performed if you want to use medications in combination with some of these other ideas.

Career Profile: Athletic Trainer
Overview of Career as an Athletic Trainer
In nearly every preview of a sports team, optimistic coaches set one condition of success: avoiding injury.
An important part of the athletic trainer's job is to help prevent such injuries. Both in terms of team success and more importantly long-term safety, the athletic trainer plays a key role.
Not to be confused with fitness trainers who help individuals improve physical fitness levels, athletic trainers work with athletes in team and individual sports to prevent injuries, provide immediate treatment of injuries that occur during athletic contests, and help athletes rehabilitate from injuries.
If you enjoy working with people in an athletic setting, a career as an athletic trainer could be for you.
While their jobs may involve working with anyone from a professional athlete to a high school soccer team, the basic role of the athletic trainer is the same: preventing and treating injuries of athletes.
The American Medical Association recognizes athletic trainers as allied health professionals who work to prevent, assess, treat, and rehab musculoskeletal injuries. Trainers have extensive knowledge of First Aid as they often are first on the scene to provide immediate treatment when injuries occur in athletic contests.
Once an athlete is injured, the trainer often works daily to help that athlete rehabilitate to full strength.
When coaches develop practices, they often work with trainers to advise athletes on the correct use of equipment. Trainers educate players on proper techniques in exercise, and in their sport, to avoid injury. Before practice and games, trainers apply tape, bandages, and braces to help athletes avoid injury.
While trainers work with coaches and athletes daily, they typically are under the supervision of a licensed physician. They may meet with that physician once or twice a week or daily, depending on the setting.
Besides the work in the field, trainers typically have administrative responsibilities, focusing on budgets, equipment purchases, and other related issues.
Getting Started
For nearly all athletic trainer positions, a bachelor's degree is required. Most colleges and universities throughout North America offer accredited programs, and with the popularity of college athletics, there is plenty of opportunity for classroom and clinical experience.
Trainers typically study health-related courses like anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and bio-mechanics. By working with teams, trainers learn the important communication skills of working with physicians, coaches, athletic directors, and athletes.
According to the National Athletic Trainers Association, the majority of trainers have a master's or doctoral degree. In some instances, these degrees are required and in other instances, they will help the individual with career advancement.
Most states require trainers to be licensed or registered. For certification, trainers need a bachelor's degree from an accredited athletic training program. In addition, a successful candidate for certification must pass a rigorous examination. To retain certification, credential holders must continue taking medical-related courses and adhere to the standards of practice.
Growth Career
Athletic trainers are expected to be one of the top sports careers in terms of growth and opportunity. The Department of Labor said job growth will be concentrated in the healthcare industry, including hospitals and offices of health practitioners. Fitness and recreation sports centers also will provide many new jobs, as these establishments become more common and continue to need athletic trainers to care for their clients. Growth in positions with sports teams will be somewhat slower, however, as most professional sports clubs and colleges and universities already have complete athletic training staffs.
Trainers are required for more athletic competitions than ever before as more emphasis is being placed on safety through regulation. With athletic trainers in place, sports teams and groups often are able to save money on insurance costs.
Challenges and Benefits
The best athletic trainers take pride in working with athletes, coaches, and medical workers on a daily basis. This requires excellent communication skills and often serving as the go-between of information from a physician to the coach or athlete.
Depending on the sport, trainers may spend most of their time working indoors or outdoors. Typically, a lot of standing is required as they observe the long hours of practice required by teams and athletes in individual sports. Trainers are handy with a variety of medical machinery and equipment and are able to walk, run, and kneel as required to quickly treat injuries.
Traveling to athletic events often is required.
If a trainer works with a specific team, their hours will vary with the ebb and flow of the off-season, preseason, and regular season. Trainers working in hospitals and clinics may have a more regular schedule and often conduct outreach work at various locations.
It is not uncommon for trainers at the high school level to work as a teacher, which during the season can require extensive hours, perhaps 60 to 70 a week.
Besides the potential for long hours, the potential for emergency care can provide stress for the trainer. Quick decisions often are needed at such times. Also, there can be pressure to quickly get top athletes back from injury and on the playing field.
Trainers enjoy working in a team atmosphere and often experience job satisfaction in helping athletes perform at their best.

I have been a huge fan of Survivor since the 2nd season premiere and the latest installment, Survivor: One World, premieres this Wednesday, February 15th at 8:00 PM on CBS. This season is bringing us big twists and changes to the game. Click here for my thoughts on the new twist over at The Voice of TV and be sure to check back to see how the season unfolds.
Why the 24th Season of 'Survivor' Has Me Excited
'Idol's' Randy Jackson & Nigel Lythgoe Talk Season 11 & 'Idol' Rivals
In the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to talk with both Randy Jackson and Nigel Lythgoe about this season of American Idol. While neither would tell me about any hidden gems, a la when Kris Allen wasnt shown before the semi-finals week, we did get some good insight on where they see their show against the others and what we can look forward to during Hollywood Week.
As always, you can check out my articles, along with recaps and news on many shows, on www.thevoiceoftv.com and you can click here for my article!
Cold Sweats. Light-Headed. Congestion. My First TRX Workout.
Well that was a great start to my newest workout plan. Yesterday was my first TRX class and it started out great. The class is a full group, mixed of students both new (me!) and seasoned. The class is taught by Megan Poss of Roots Yoga & Fitness Studio in Spokane. I know Megan from her past work in the Admission Office at Gonzaga and she is great.
The class started great and quickly I was dripping in sweat. Not bad for a new system. We went through an array of different exercises and I quickly learned that I a) don't have the best balance on 1 foot, even when using the handles, b) I currently don't work out my legs enough.
Lisa Kudrow Explores Who You Think You Are.
I was privileged enough to get to talk with Lisa Kudrow recently about the upcoming Season 3 of Who Do You Think You Are? on NBC. The show premieres on Friday, Feb. 3rd at 8:00 PM, and if you haven't checked this show out, you are really missing out.
The show researches the history and genealogy of celebrities and looks at where their family came from. It's an outstanding show that can really teach you about your families history. This season includes Reba McEntire, Rob Lowe, Jason Sudeikis, Rashida Jones, Paula Dean, and Jerome Bettis among others.

Assay Information
Gene Information
This gene encodes a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase an enzyme of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic molecules such as steroids bilirubin hormones and drugs into water-soluble excretable metabolites. This gene is part of a complex locus that encodes several UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. The locus includes thirteen unique alternate first exons followed by four common exons. Four of the alternate first exons are considered pseudogenes. Each of the remaining nine 5' exons may be spliced to the four common exons resulting in nine proteins with different N-termini and identical C-termini. Each first exon encodes the substrate binding site and is regulated by its own promoter. This enzyme has some glucuronidase activity towards bilirubin although is is more active on amines steroids and sapogenins. [provided by RefSeq Jul 2008]

A brother of Tom Fitzgerald wept openly as he walked away from the house where his sibling died violently on Tuesday night.
The bodies of retired couple Tom and Kitty Fitzgerald were discovered beaten to death in Irishtown, Co Mayo on Tuesday, while their injured son Paul was hospitalised with head injuries.
Addressing reporters this morning, Frank Fitzgerald's knees momentarily buckled and he struggled to control his grief.
He said: "God's own way is not our way. He was a good honest, straight man."
A younger man comforted him as they walked to a nearby car where a female relative was standing.
The visitors left some flowers with the note 'From Frank, Maura and family, rest in peace Tom & Kitty'.
Meanwhile, a parish priest has said local people are "stunned and heartbroken" by the tragic deaths of their "friends".
Fr Martin O'Connor said both Tom, in his 70s, and Kitty Fitzgerald, in her 60s, were well-respected people who were very popular in the Irishtown, county Mayo community.
Fr O'Connor added: "We obviously are stunned and heartbroken because Tom and Kitty were both very involved in our community.
"And not only that but they were friends and we've lost two good friends.
"They were lovely people, both of them were involved in the local church here.
"Tom was a Eucharistic minister and he was also a collector and Kitty was a sacrist here for a couple of years in the church and she was also in the choir.
"Tom was also involved in the Davitts GAA club down through the years and oversaw the amalgamation of the local club here with Ballindine."
"He was always very involved in the hall here, the development of the park and anything for the betterment of the area.
"And if he wasn't [involved directly] he was always someone who was positively disposed and always applauded those who were involved."

Every year we have a family growing contest and this year the veg of choice is potatoes, 'Maris Piper' to be exact and the winners are the team to harvest the most potatoes.
Maris Piper potatoes are my absolute favourite, in my opinion they make the best roast potatoes and who doesn't love a nice crispy roasting with their Sunday dinner. As they are a maincrop potato March is the perfect time of year to plant these seed potatoes which have been chitting since early February.
So last weekend we did just that..
So last weekend we did just that..
|Miss K & Mr H's Bag
Each team filled a bag 1/4 full of compost and then Miss K and Mr H's got first pick and the sneaky devils tried to pick the four best seed potatoes but Miss T soon put a stop to that. As the seed potatoes we have are pretty small so we decided to plant four in each of our grow bags.
|Mine & Miss T's Bag
Maincrop potatoes are normally ready to be harvested about 18-20 weeks after planting so we should know who the winning team is by the end of the school summer holidays in late August.
I spent the rest of my day was spent weeding the veg beds with Miss K ready for sowing and planting up with seedlings. We also enjoyed some good old family funtime, the girls were cartwheeling round while we attempted to play tug of war with the woofs. I don't think Harry our male lab quite understood the rules as he kept pulling the rope, and running away with it draped over his neck, silly pooch!

Once again Mayorgate has found itself to be a target of threat, intimidation and harassment. As the publisher and sole author of all the articles published I have come to expect the possibility of attack by those who fear the truth, who fear the public light on fact and who fear being questioned. Every article I publish I do so after researching every facet and only after being sure that hard evidence is at hand to support all of what is said, then and only then do I publish. No article that I write is done so as an opinion or a hot winded editorial, and I will stand behind each and every question raised, still waiting for an answer. When a response is a simple refusal to clarify a given point, and on the explanation of "just because," then enough suspicion exists to require further probing.
A situation was brought to my attention regarding a senior citizens' retirement home. The details seemed to be rather astonishing but after an interview with an individual who had been fighting to find answers to some very damaging questions, plus the fact that a Queen's Council was willing to add more information, the need for research was affirmed. In the end, after lengthy interviews both with the individual and his Queen's Council, together with examination of documentation, and I must add legislation, an article was published on January 15th 2014. The article titled Seniors Languish In Intimidation was accompanied with an interview posted on YouTube, and it was one that could not be ignored.
On March 6th 2014 I signed for two registered letters, these were letters of the most cowardly threat, intimidation and harassment yet thrown at Mayorgate and at myself. What made them most offensive to dignity was that one of the threats was addressed to my daughter Alexandra. The threats were issued by a Rachel Slingerland with the law firm Martens Lingard LLP, on behalf of clients, the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home. All responsibility for this attempt to silence Mayorgate falls onto the shoulders of the Paderewski Board of Directors.
Lawyer Rachel Slingerland is a young lawyer, and youth has the need to impress which is an uncontrollable urge. She for some reason believes that simply because she issued some papers of threat, that that in itself will silence the freedom of speech. It does not! Sadly for young Slingerland she has made some statements that are so greatly removed from the truth, that they can only be conceived as the opposite. Slingerland will, I am sure, hide behind the lawyer's mantra, "in the best interest of her client," which seems to excuse everything. Hiding behind this mantra lawyers are able to butcher the law, truth, dignity and even their code of ethics, simply read the article relating to lawyer John Willey.
Ms. Slingerland joined Martens Lingard as an Associate lawyer in July 2013, she is indeed without any experience. Someone should inform this young lawyer that we live in Canada and not Syria or Putin's Russia. Every threat against Mayorgate has been dealt with publicly as I have nothing to hide.
On LinkedIn, Ms. Slingerland's own summary of herself is "I am a young lawyer eager to build a practice," and Martens Lingard's official web page under her photograph states, "Rachel prides herself on her passionate advocacy for her clients. She is eager to bring energy and enthusiasm in the legal profession." Energy and enthusiasm can be excuses to hide something else, as they are here. Slingerland decided to launch her attack and intimidation against not only me, but against an individual who has no connection to Mayorgate other than providing caricature art for some of the articles. She had done this on behalf and with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home. Obviously Slingerland found some reason to advise the members of the Board of Directors that she had grounds to attack and intimidate an innocent individual. Youth and enthusiasm rarely thinks of consequences, now Slingerland will receive a crash course in a simple fact of life.
Alexandra Davidoff is a talented artist. Her work has recently been on exhibition in New Delhi, India in a collection with 100 other artists. In addition to the exhibition her work will be featured in a published book from the exhibition. Alexandra has provided art for other authors to illustrate and provide a visual to their own characters and story lines. She exhibits her work on a number of artist websites and out of a total of 138 posts that I have made Alexandra has provided 48 caricatures. As an artist Alexandra has grown developing and nurturing her talent and at the same time her reputation. At the time of the article on the issues surrounding Leo Skorski and the Paderewski Society Home, Alexandra had not supplied any artwork for the article. Alexandra has no connection to Mayorgate other than the fact that she is my daughter. Nor did Alexandra have anything to do with the recording of the video interview of Leo Skorski. None of the facts mattered to Slingerland, or the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home.
The 'Home' page for Mayorgate clearly from its first day states that I am the publisher and that no one else is associated with any portion of the blog. Slingerland in her "passionate advocacy for her clients" decided the truth was unacceptable, so she had to of received consent from the Board of Directors of the Paderewski to lie. Slingerland goes on to make a number of statements in relation to Alexandra Davidoff without foundation in truth, or fact.
These are Slingerland's own words from her first threat addressed to Alexandra Davidoff, "On the website it states that you draw characters and as such, you are a party to every article that is posted on the website." Slingerland's language is somewhat less than correct. Alexandra Davidoff is an artist and she has contributed caricatures, not 'characters'. An artist whether for the New Yorker or Toronto Star, or for that matter any publication provides visual art and that does not associate the artist to the content, but such facts are of no importance to Slingerland. Slingerland's attempt at intimidation began with these words, "damaging statements you have written about the Board of Directors on YouTube and on your and your father's website."
What is going to be most interesting is to have Slingerland in a court room in front of a judge, there the lies have to be proven. Nowhere on "the website" does "it state" that Alexandra draws characters. The "website" has an about page which clearly states that as publisher of Mayorgate no one else writes or is involved with the articles. Yet Slingerland claims that "on the website it states...," intentional malicious prosecution has its consequences and no one will give an inch of room for Slingerland or the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home to back away from this now.
As a journalist I am responsible to provide articles that are based on fact, without editorialising or stating opinion. Each and every article on Mayorgate has been put through this most basic criteria. I research the information, I ensure that I search out any applicable legislation and verify the credibility of any source. Also as a journalist I am not making accusations nor allegations but I am without a doubt raising questions, and as such am always aware of the advice of a favourite cartoon hero of mine, Eugene Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants; "questions are a danger to you and a burden to others."
The issues regarding the Paderewski Society Home were brought to my attention because my articles are in depth and without pandering to any powers at large. They were raised by a Regional Councillor, an individual with a certain amount of credibility one would think. I had spoken at length with Leo Skorski, a man who had dedicated his time in the service of others. Leo is the recipient of a number of awards for his community work from both the province and local government. He is also the recipient of both the Gold Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee medals. In addition to Leo's impeccable credibility he had his lawyer, a Queen's Council, not only present during the interview but willing to discuss all the issues and answer questions.
Leo Skorski had proven his credibility, at no time with me had he accused anyone, but he did raise many questions. Documents were provided by Leo's lawyer that raised even more questions. Copies of letters from Niagara Regional Housing were nothing more than attempts to brush off the real issues, even a previous letter from Slingerland had only brought more doubt forward. Experience has proven when evasion is a tool then more questions are needed. As far as credibility of Niagara Regional Government stands that is a Pandora's Box that Slingerland should not even consider touching with her lack of experience.
After everything was said and done, I still researched further by looking at legislation, the conflict of interest rulings and guidelines, and the by-laws set out by the Paderewski Society home. A journalist is responsible under the laws that govern libel to ensure that what he publishes is to the best of his knowledge to be the truth. I not only felt that my article justified questions to be raised, I had provided documentation in the article which supported the reasoning behind the need to find answers. No answers were provided by NRH nor by the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home. Experience has proven to me that when in doubt question even more.
In the papers served on me on the 18th of March, Slingerland on page 4 decides for whatever reason to quote from Mayorgate's 'About' page. She says that Mayorgate is "described to be a," and then in her own quotation marks "response to the censorship imposed by the local press in St. Catharines." Motivation behind this is somewhat difficult to understand, the response will be less so. As she had decided to put this in legal documents, I as publisher of Mayorgate have the legal right to respond publicly. Now a second Pandora's Box will be opened. I have an Integrity Commissioner recorded who raises the issue of how the local press had totally ignored her and the investigation of a City Councillor, this Integrity Commissioner was shocked at the actions of the local press.
Since Mayorgate's 'About' page was read it had to be clear as to who is responsible for all the content. Yet Slingerland further extends herself on page 4 of the documents served. This time Slingerland correctly states that Alexandra is my daughter, it is also true that as an artist she has contributed on occasion her caricature art to my Mayorgate, as she had contributed art elsewhere. What follows is again hard to understand, as she claims Alexandra "also operates the website known as Mayorgate." As human beings we often need justification for our actions, it is how our minds work. But in this case it is impossible to understand such a statement of claim by a lawyer. In court this will be interesting to discuss and both Alexandra and I can't wait to hear how Slingerland can twist facts.
Rachel Slingerland first sent her initial threat by registered mail, it was dated February 27th 2014. Reading this initial threat and the second statement of claim one tries to wonder if one and the same lawyer prepared both. Consistency is a key component to any claim. Yet what is said in the first threat and then what is set out in the second are quite different. Gone is the manic rhetoric of "you wrote" anything in relation to Alexandra, now it is replaced with a more ludicrous statement that she "operates the website." Yet even that is not the wildest change.
In the February 27th threat Slingerland states that the "lawsuit will allege in part, that you were motivated by anger and or malice in making these defamatory statements and that you made these statements knowing them to be false." Here lies the epicentre, ground zero or whatever cliche one wishes to use. I have covered more than one defamation trial and I will paraphrase one judge and the warning she gave an individual claiming to be defamed. This judge said that defamation or libel law is a quagmire, in particular when relating to the internet. The judge made it clear that proving defamation is difficult and proving intent more so, but without intent there is no defamation. I want Ms. Slingerland and her clients in court. Everything that I have said here is a response to her and her clients. Everything that I have said here is a response to her attack on my Mayorgate and on an innocent individual. Though the main reason and explanation has been left till last.
Rachel Slingerland is a lawyer employed by Martens Lingard LLP and she has only been there a short time, yet she is a lawyer. As a lawyer she is considered to be an officer of the court. Her own club of professional lawyers, the Law Society of Upper Canada, has a supposedly strict set of rules relating to professional ethics. A young lawyer getting her feet wet may find the need to prove daring, eagerness, and enthusiasm. Slingerland went way past all of this.
Back to the February 27th threat sent by registered mail. The date of Slingerland's letter is very important. My article relating to the issues at the Paderewski Society Home and the YouTube video interview of Leo Skorski were published January 15th 2014. Slingerland dated her letter not within 30 days of this date but on something else. Paragraph two (2) of the February 27th threat states: "Further on January 27, 2014 you wrote a letter to the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority [RHRA] where you made allegations of senior abuse, neglect and inappropriate financial dealings of the Board of Directors of Paderewski."
The RHRA is a provincial agency associated with the Registrar for Complaints for potential seniors abuse, under the legislation set out by the provincial government. All correspondence, all contact and all information provided to the RHRA is strictly confidential. The RHRA does not share or divulge the identity of any individual who contacts them, otherwise many seniors would be too afraid to seek help. Whatever I wrote them was absolutely confidential.
Visiting the RHRA's website one can find the RHRA Information Access & Privacy Code, it is a five page document signed by the Chair of the RHRA and by Minister Linda Jeffrey, the Minister for Municipal Affairs and Housing. As Slingerland's experience is lacking I have provided a link here directly to the RHRA website, and have published page 1 of the Access & Privacy Code, with highlights. This has also been done for the benefit of both Ronald E. Martens and Peter J. Lingard. My email response to Slingerland dated March 14th 2014 was copied to both of these partners for a specific reason. Lawyers have a tendency to what one can say find escape doors when needed. In this situation I did not want the senior partners, whose names are on the masthead of the law firm to claim that they were not aware of the full circumstances. Both Ronald Martens and Peter Lingard have been made fully aware of the actions by Rachel Slingerland and are equally responsible for all the consequences.
To quote part II, legislation from page one of the RHRA Information Access & Privacy Code: "The RHRA is subject to the Retirement Homes Act, 2004 and has specific obligations under each statute to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of information."
Every word here is subject to legislation, subject to law, and a breach constitutes a breach of law. The policy continues to state, "The RHRA collects, uses, discloses and retains information for purposes related to the RHRA's duties or powers, and in compliance with its confidentiality obligations contained in sections 113 and 114 of the Act. Specifically, section 113 of the Act requires that the RHRA, including all officers, directors, employees and agents, preserve secrecy and keep confidential any information, including personal information and personal health information, obtained in the course of performing a duty or exercising a power under the Act."
Unlike Slingerland no quote is edited to suit one's self. The law itself and the Privacy Code is explained and then the most important part. Again quoting from the RHRA Privacy Code, "Section 113 contains a number of exceptions, which allow the RHRA and people acting on behalf of the RHRA to disclose information in specific circumstances, including:
(b) to a ministry, department or agency of a government engaged in the administration of the Act."
Rachel Slingerland is not part of any ministry, nor is she a member of a department or agency of a government engaged in the administration of the Act. Slingerland is a lawyer, employed by a private law firm and Slingerland is in possession of an illegally obtained document. Slingerland is a lawyer, a lawyer with a law degree and supposedly knows the law. As a lawyer with enthusiasm to boot Slingerland committed what now constitutes a criminal act of harassment with her threat dated February 27th 2014.
Now the real questions begin. Tracey Fairfield, Intake Supervisor at RHRA stated in a letter dated February 10th 2014 to me, "I have contacted the Not-for-Profit Housing Manager at Niagara Regional Housing to report the concerns noted in your letter." Here begins the detective work. Slingerland clearly states in her threat of February 27th 2014, "you wrote a letter to the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority...". Illegally gained confidential information, and a breach of legislation. Question 1: How did Slingerland get this? Question 2: Did Slingerland get this directly from someone at NRH? Question 3: Did a member of the Board of Directors of the Paderewski supply this to Slingerland? Question 4: If yes to number 3 then who was it? Question 5: Who at NRH sold private and confidential information protected by legislation to a private individual or private law firm? Question 6: Why did this individual at NRH supply this confidential information if not for exchange of cash? Question 7: What does NRH gain in the attempt to silence the freedom on speech and to silence questions asked regarding the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home? Question 8: How does a lawyer decide to use illegal documents and/or confidential information in what is clearly criminal harassment now? Question 9: How do the senior partners of a law firm when made aware of the situation decide to simply ignore the breach of law by a lawyer they employ?
As I have said I left the best till last. A criminal breach of law has been committed by an individual at Niagara Regional Housing. That individual sold private and confidential information protected by legislation. It was sold either to a member of the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home or directly to lawyer Rachel Slingerland of Martens Lingard LLP. Now it is time for the police to track down the information and lay charges. Slingerland took an oath, all that mumbo-jumbo about the law and stuff. Her actions prove an alarming lack of respect for the law.
In her eagerness to impress Slingerland attacked an innocent individual, Alexandra Davidoff. Slingerland's enthusiasm allowed her to use illegally gained documents and/or information, protected by legislation, to carry out her threats. She did all of this acting on behalf of her clients, the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home. The senior partners were made aware of the situation, of the illegal and confidential information their lawyer had used. Their response was to ignore the facts.
Now come the consequences. This is my public response to her threats on behalf of her clients, the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home. She will get my official written response within the 20 days. I want her in a court of law, but before that the RHRA has conducted an investigation and the result far from a happy one for her and the NRH. Now the police are being asked for an investigation. In return both Alexandra and I will be filing lawsuits against every individual member of the Board of Directors of the Paderewski Society Home and much more. Rachel Slingerland decided to break the law and to threaten in order to shut down freedom of speech. This is Mayorgate's and my response.

Our Park simply could not accomplish what we do without the generosity and time of volunteers in parks (or VIPs). At Morristown, you'll find our volunteers engaged in all kinds of activities and programming: from trail maintenance and gardening, to historic house tours and trades demonstrations, to research and internships.
Volunteer Park Passes were issued to nine volunteers who donated 250 hours over a three year period. While eight volunteers donated over 201.6 hours in 2016 to receive the NPS Centennial Challenge Award.
Today we'd like to honor two fine volunteers who have achieved some volunteering milestones. Wick House volunteer, Anne, was awarded her VIP Pass and Headquarters' guide and trail maintenance crewman, Steve, was awarded his NPS Centennial Challenge Award.
Thank you for your dedication and service.

By Austin Ogwuda
Asaba—DELTA State government has vowed to demolish all illegal structures built on the expanse of land belonging to the Anwai-campus of the Delta State University (DELSU).
State Commissioner for Higher Education, Dr. Hope Eghagha, who stated this during the working visit to the campus yesterday, used the opportunity to warn intending buyers of land that falls within the proposed perimeter fencing of the land to refrain in their own interest.
Eghagha said "they (illegal buyers) will forfeit their property which they built on the university land. And for those who have already purchased lands within the perimeter that they will lose it; people should respect the boundary, as there is no alternative than to demolishâ€.
Earlier, the Provost of the Anwai campus of the University, Prof. Sam Ukala, who conducted the Commissioner and other top officers of the ministry round the campus, said "your visit today is to enable you see for yourself the locust-like encroachment on campus land by our neighbours who are actually our host communities.
"The management of the campus has been locked in a running battle with the encroachers and has appealed to the Asagba of Asaba and Delta State government, through our vice chancellor, to intervene.
"Now you have come, you have seen and I have no doubt that Delta state government will conquer this problem for us once and for all. It would be in the best interest of all concerned that the perimeter fencing is done without disruptions.â€
