This study will evaluate and treat children or adults with inherited or developmental eye conditions. It will allow specialists in pediatric ophthalmology, genetic ophthalmology, and ocular motility at the National Eye Institute (NEI) to learn more about the course of various pediatric, genetic, developmental, and eye movement diseases thorough long-term observation and treatment. It will also serve as the first step in determining the eligibility of patients who may wish to enroll in other NEI clinical research studies or undergo standard eye treatments.
Children with eye conditions, especially inherited or developmental conditions, and adults with eye disorders that began in childhood or that likely have a genetic or developmental component may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo some or all of the following procedures:
- Medical history, including family history.
- Physical examination and possibly routine blood tests, x-rays tests, standard eye movement recordings, questionnaires, and specialized procedures when needed.
- Complete eye examination, including vision test, visual perception, eye pressure (if possible), dilation of the pupils to examine the back of the eye (lens, vitreous, and retina).
- Photographs of the eyes.
- Oculography (eye movement recordings) in patients for whom testing will aid in diagnosis. This test is done either with goggles placed over the eyes or with a contact lens placed on each eye. When the goggles or lenses are in place, the subject looks at a series of red targets on a computer screen.
- Electroretinography (ERG) in patients with suspected retinal degeneration. This is a test of the electrical function of the eyes. Before the test, patients sit in a dark room for 30 minutes with their eyes patched. A small electrode (silver disk) is taped to their forehead. The eye patches are then removed, the eyes are numbed with drops, and contact lenses are placed in the eyes. The contact lenses sense small electrical signals generated by the retina when lights flash. During the ERG recording, the patient looks inside a large empty bowl. A light flashes, first in the dark and then with a light turned on inside the bowl. The test takes 1 hour or less.
Participants are followed up to 6 times a year for 3 years, depending on the diagnosis and treatment.
|Condition or disease
|Eye Diseases
The purpose of this protocol is to allow the pediatric ophthalmology, genetic ophthalmology, and ocular motility specialists at the National Eye Institute to gain additional knowledge of the course of various pediatric, genetic, developmental and ocular motility diseases. Heretofore, this spectrum of diseases will be referred to as pediatric ophthalmology diseases. We wish to evaluate the effects of standard treatments for these diseases, use non- or minimally-invasive technologies to understand the pathogenesis of these diseases, and to collect blood or other easily obtained biologic sample (e.g., urine, saliva, hair, cheek swab, or stool) for future laboratory studies on these diseases. The information gained from this protocol will also allow for the maintenance of populations of patients with specific pediatric eye diseases and strabismus that may be eligible for future protocols. In addition, by allowing for the care of patients with a spectrum of these diseases, the protocol will be valuable for the training of pediatric eye disease, ocular genetics, and ocular motility fellows. The pediatric, genetic, and eye movement specialists at the National Eye Institute will choose ophthalmology diseases based on the training and research needs of the NEI program. While the primary focus of this protocol is to study eye disease in children, adults who have a disease that began in childhood or who may have an inherited eye disease or are unaffected first-degree relatives may also be evaluated under this protocol.
This protocol is not designed to test any new treatments. Any evaluation of treatments under this protocol will be based on the standard-of-care for each patient's disease. All alternatives for evaluation and care will be reviewed with each patient and the patient's family.
Patients in this evaluation and treatment protocol will be evaluated for potential eligibility in any new NEI clinical trials or epidemiological protocols as they are developed. If eligible, patients may be asked to participate in a new protocol. However, they will not be required to enter any new protocol and their decision to participate will be entirely voluntary.

Annual Report
The Arrowhead Regional Development Commission (ARDC) is designated by the Minnesota Board on Aging as the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for the Planning and Service Area of the Arrowhead Region under authority of Title III of the Older Americans Act. Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) were established under the Older Americans Act in 1973 to respond to the needs of Americans age 60 and over in every local community. By supporting a range of options that allow older adults to choose the home and community-based services and living arrangements that suit them best, the Arrowhead AAA helps make it possible for older adults to "age in place" in their homes and communities.
In 2016 the Arrowhead AAA focused it's planning efforts around building community capacity to provide Evidence Based Health Promotion programs, developing relationships and referral protocols between medical communities and Home and Community Based Service Providers, (HCBS), strengthening the infrastructure of aging service organizations in the arrowhead region, supporting the role of caregivers through training and advocacy and engaging communities in ACT on Alzheimer's Dementia Friendly Community Toolkit process
As part of the MinnesotaHelp Network™, Arrowhead AAA helps to expand and improve the Senior LinkAge Line® Long Term Care Options Counseling service by providing a local contact center along with many partner sites in the Arrowhead region, making this high quality, unbiased, accurate, comprehensive service accessible to all populations by phone, on the web, in-person and through materials in order to meet the demands of our aging population. AAAA Senior Linkage Line® served 10,476 unduplicated consumers, answered 21,503 unduplicated calls, provided 300 outreach events and served nearly 1000 more consumers during Medicare's annual enrollment period from the previous year.
Finally, the Arrowhead AAA provided grants and contracts to community partners totaling over $1.5 million in Title III Federal Older Americans Act and other federal and state funds for services to assist older adults living independently at home and to support their family caregivers.

I remember visiting this website once...
It was called 'Once Upon a Time' Season 5 Interview: Rebecca Mader on Zelena, Hades, Finale | TVLine
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Rebecca Mader was as pleasantly surprised as anyone to recently learn that
's resident wicked witch, Zelena, had a chance at life-long romance, with Underworld overlord Hades, but dismissed it because she felt unworthy.
get the memo," the British beauty says of the bittersweet development. "That was a really cool moment. Like, "Wait, what? [He has loved me] this whole time??"
Once Upon a Time Recap: Girlfriend of Dorothy — LGBT Romance Revealed
Indeed, in his latest bid to offer Zelena "happily ever after," Hades this Sunday (ABC, 8/7c) will present a plan for the two of them to escape the Underworld — and in doing so, entrap Regina and the rest of the Storybrooke heroes there
. Mader shared with TVLine a peek at the love-versus-family dilemma to come.
TVLINE | Hades (played by Greg Germann) this week lays out his plan to escape the Underworld. What does Zelena think about it?
I think she's hashtag #torn, because part of her wants to try to trust him. He's told her that she's his true love and that True Love's Kiss will restart his heart, and then they can go and leave everybody behind. But a part of her is like, "I don't know if I want to leave Regina behind actually." It's a bit weird for her because she's starting to have sisterly feelings for Regina, so it's like, "Well hang on, if I get my own happy ending, it will be at the expense of my new family. It's a horrible position to be in.
that she's torn though, it's such growth for her.
. And the heroes aren't after her at the moment, so that tension is not the same as it was in Season 3. They're not looking to tear me down, so where's the vengeance? Their vengeance is towards
…. Her morals are starting to kick in, her values are changing, her heart is opening…. Having a kid is softening her, so it's a really complex, interesting time in her arc. And it's been really,
RELATEDMichael Raymond-James Weighs In on Neal's Once Upon a Time Encore
TVLINE | Is Zelena legitimately giving Hades a shot here? Is there any possible con at play?
I don't think she's got her witch's con hat on. She's really thinking, "OK, he's telling me he loved me this whole time. He built me a whole Storybrooke!" I mean, no bloke has ever done that for me in real life, so that's kind of a big deal!
] That's not flowers. So it's like, "Hang on a minute, maybe I
being a bit too hard on him." He does appear to be incredibly sincere, so she's like, "If I don't try, I'll spend the rest of my life not knowing." So why
try? I've already been disappointed by everybody in my life, so what's one more? She's always got her whiskey to drink in her kitchen if all goes wrong!
TVLINE | If Hades pulls this off, who minds the store down in the Underworld?
] He's ready for a change of scenery, so I don't think it's his concern who replaces him!
Regina gets wind of it and then she tries to break me and Hades up. She then faces a conflict of her own that's really cool. I've finally started to get what I want and now Regina is ruining it again. She's always the bloody sister to get what she wants, so why can't I just have
Once Upon a Time's Munchkins Gawk Too Much? And More TV Qs!
TVLINE | What are we going to learn from this week's flashbacks with Younger Zelena and Younger Regina?
. It's too good! I can't. It's too good to spoil.
TVLINE | Would you say it covers a "formative moment" for the young women?
Oh yes. It's definitely that. And it's pretty groundbreaking. I didn't watch the scenes, but I did meet my Mini Me (Isabella Blake-Thomas) and she's really cute. She's properly English and they dyed her hair red to look like mine, and her eyes are almost the exact same color blue as mine. The casting is
TVLINE | Baby Hood will get a name by the end of the season. Did it meet with your approval?
It really does. It really does, yeah. It's pretty amazing.
TVLINE | And lastly, what can you tease about the two-hour Season 5 finale (airing May 15 at 7/6c)?
] I would say that you can't write this stuff, but then they
TVLINE | [Series co-creators] Adam and Eddy told me that Sam Witwer and Hank Harris aren't necessarily playing who or what it's been reported they're playing….
It's an amazing set-up for next season. It's really, really huge. I can't wait until it's out and we can talk about it!
, or for any other show? Email email@example.com and your question may be answered via Matt's Inside Line.
She has been such a wonderful addition to the cast. Am genuinely enjoying her every scene and the character growth we've been seeing.
I got to admit i like Zelena to an extent. She has character way better then Robin Hood.
But i feel like the episodes are somewhat dragging. It will be good to get to the action as in getting a solution and out of Underworld with the gang and how to get Hook out and alive. And getting the 3 names removed from the gravestones
to not compete with game of thrones and fear the walking dead I think
i reckon zelena was meant to be the evil queen while regina was meant to be the wicked witch of the west
I'm loving the evolving relationship between Zelena and Regina. It's pretty cool because Regina is almost like the big sister because she's been where Zelena is so she has that experience. Bex and Lana play wonderfully off each other as well and adding Barbara Hershey into the mix this week should be a real treat. As for the backstory, I have a lot of wild theories but no clue as to what it will actually be so I can't wait to find out! Thanks for this great interview.
I think Rebecca Mader has really brought a lot of energy to the cast and I've particularly enjoyed Zelena, not just in 5A but also her growth in 5B. Looking forward to Sunday's episode!
I can't stand her. What a creep. I hope they kill her off permanently.
Not to be a hater, but wouldn't it have made sense to embed the article that talks about the casting of Sam Witwer and Hank Harris?
We just got a new hyperlinking interface gizmo and it's… unpredictable. Re-added!
Hades going after Zelena plays more like creepy stalking than an epic Romance. Do you think he's A…because A is everywhere lol #ouat #ppl
Ok this realy hypes me for season 6! i have a feeling we get the Asylum Arc and i somehow jope it involves in the end Everyone being cursed by a new dark cursed to thiy asylum and Only Emma Can Remember as she is the Saviour mayby Henry as the Author is also save but everyone else is working against them becas ther belive Frolo( yep i thing ther go THIS rout with this) And Quasimodo is helping them

Subscribe To Chris Pine And Amanda Seyfried Survive In Craig Zobel's Z For Zachariah Updates
I've already subscribed
Post-apocalyptic movies and movies about young adults are both bombarding audiences these days, and when you combine the two you can get mega-hits like The Hunger Games (or lesser hits like The Host). Now Compliance director Craig Zobel is getting in on the genre, adapting the beloved young adult sci-fi novel Z for Zachariah, and its newly signed cast would make us pay attention to the project even if we were actually living through the apocalypse ourselves.
Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried and Chiwetel Ejiofor will all star in Z for Zachariah, according to The Hollywood Reporter. At one point Tobey Maguire was set to star, but he'll just be taking on a producer role for now, through his Material Pictures production company. Everyone can now take a deep breath and remember that this is a children's book. And while nothing at all is wrong with the source material – the novel's author won the Newberry Medal for 1972's Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - changes will have to be made given the cast's relatively advanced.
It's being labeled a psychological thriller, where Seyfried will play a teenage survivor of an apocalypse who meets up with Ejiofor, a scientist, and falls in love with him. Once they run into another survivor, played by Pine, things get a little more complicated, and then spoilers happen.
Chris Pine is currently commanding starships in Star Trek Into Darkness, while Lovelace's Seyfried will soon be filming Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West. Ejiofor will soon be seen in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave.
With a screenplay written by Nissar Modi (Breaking at the Edge), Z for Zachariah is set to begin filming in August.

The Side Hustle: How to run a business after hours
By Dannie L Fountain
As a part-time entrepreneur, there are many challenges that we encounter in terms of running a business, handling clients, and time management. We're going to break those challenges down and go through manageable solutions line-by-line that you can implement in your business today!
Evening Hours
One of the biggest "struggles" we often inflict upon ourselves is the perception that working in a business during the evening hours is somehow less professional than during traditional hours. This simply isn't the case. In the online world, it's possible, even likely, that you'll have clients that span time zones and continents. While your 4pm-10pm CST office hours may be less desirable for your clients in New York, they might be highly desirable for your clients in Australia (where it's 9am) or Hawaii (where it's 12pm).
Managing evening hours is less difficult than you'd think. Be upfront with your local clients and allow them to decide if your availability fits their schedule.
Outlining your availability in your contract is a good idea. I have clients who know I work 4-9pm CST but will contact me during the day. Being protected by my contract allows me to give my day job the focus it requires without feeling obligated to respond to those messages immediately. Usually a simple and gentle reminder clears up any issues like this.
Time Management
When you have a day job, a side hustle, and a personal/social life time management can be difficult. There are three major tools that I use and recommend for balancing all three.
The first is a hard copy planner. I use the Start Planner but any simple planner will do. My planner has a three colour system (day job, side hustle, personal) that tracks appointments, engagements, and to-dos. At a glance, I'm able to see what I have on tap for all three based on the colours I see on today's page.
The next tool is Google Calendar. I'm able to set up all client appointments in Google Calendar and it integrates with all the major online schedulers (Calendly, Acuity, etc.). It also updates automatically in my Mac iCal so I'm up to date on "current events" regardless of where I'm looking.
Finally, I use 17hats for project tracking. 17hats also integrates with Google Calendar and lets me note client meetings, deliverable dates, follow-ups, and any other major tasks. These updates then sync across all platforms.
To get a handle on the upcoming week, I spend about an hour on either Saturday or Sunday night double-checking that my planner is up to date.
As well as scheduling client meetings, I plan out what projects I'm going to work on and allot time to each one. This helps me stay on track and ensure that everything gets done. My VA and other team members work different office hours so this is also helpful for time management. If a client absolutely needs to meet outside of 4-9pm and I can't make it, a member of my team steps in. We meet as a team on a weekly (or bi-weekly) basis to go over major deliverables on their end and to connect on any major successes or struggles.
Sometimes it can feel like you're not a "real entrepreneur" because you still have one foot in the corporate world. The biggest thing to recognise is that almost everyone started where you are. Entrepreneurial businesses start as side projects and slowly evolve into a full-time responsibility. You may not yet run your business full-time, but you commit an equitable amount of time and energy to your business as those who do. Recognising your worth and not comparing "apples to oranges" will help you value how truly extraordinary you are.
These three major challenges that part-time entrepreneurs and side hustlers face may seem daunting, but when broken down line by line, they're more manageable than previously thought!

Moving Portrait - 2016, New York, USA
I wanted to create a fictional space that shows something greater about her love of creation and her impeccable, natural air for style. Realizing the absurd by blending and obscuring fact/fiction, cinematic/experimental, the short film uses visceral sounds and images to evoke viewers through all their senses, hoping to enter viewers' subconscious. With my work, I seek to depict transcendental states and expose the realm of the intimate. This is shown here through the act of self reflection found in private spaces, in particular, the sacred space of taking a bath. I hope through this juxtaposition of ideas, viewers will discover something more primal and true, within and without, becoming aware of the subjectivity of reality and discovering their own truth about the world. The short film is further inspired by Jean Luc Godard's bathrooms, Michelangelo Antonioni's psychological interior spaces that reflected his characters own state of mind, and Peter Greenaway's reinterpretation of the everyday in '26 bathrooms.'

I love the white stucco and baroque details, not to mention the strategic placement of beautiful flowering vines here and there, such as my beloved bougainvillea.

Read: Matthew 4
"Come, follow me." -- Matthew 4:18-20
Whew, Friday. Looking back down the week's mountain, some of us wonder how and why we made it. I know I do. That Monday meeting, Tuesday's test, Wednesday's wreck...well, you get the point. But it's ok to look back. Moses looked back at the sea he crossed. Daniel looked back at his bed in a lion's den. And Jesus? He looked back too. Of all the memories He had on Friday, our future was one of them. (Feel free to re-read that sentence).
So let's look back in awe and wonder. And while we do, let's remember that Jesus finished His week to give us purpose in ours. Whew, Friday. He's How, He's Why.
Jimmy Peña
PRAYER REQUESTS: If you need us to be praying for you, please let us know. Perhaps you're in a health battle or maybe someone you love needs help. You can list your specific request here or simply say, "Unspoken", and we promise to pray for you throughout the day.

Today was the first major run since the race last Sunday. I really wanted to rest and let the body recover so I just worked on cardio and some strength training this week. Did a lot of walking -- 12 miles in fact. So today was the day to get back in the saddle.
First stop: Weight Watchers meeting. I couldn't resist but to wear the WW race tech shirt that I got. I got there and weighed in.... DOWN 3.8lbs! W00t! I was really happy! That put me over the 85lbs lost milestone! So during the meeting, there were 3 other people who walked the race; I was the only one who ran it. So it was cool that they gave us a nice 5K trinket to mark the accomplishment. After the meeting, I chatted with a couple of the guys about exercising and progress and such. It was the first time since joining this WW meeting group that I felt a part of the group (I have only joined this particular meeting group about three weeks ago).
After the meeting, it was time for my long run. Thankfully, my friend Mark agreed to run with me (and I mean, 'run'). So I walked to our meeting corner, so I could warm up, and we started our run. Mark is a good runner and I appreciated that he let me set the pace (which is much slower than his usual). He wanted me to try to run the entire distance -- we planned for 4 miles -- without a walk break if possible. I told him that I hadn't even attempted a constant 'run' that long before but I would give it a shot.
The first 7 minutes were at a faster speed than I was used to -- 10:37 -- so I had to take a 1.5 minute walk break. Then I adjusted my speed to something a little more sustainable -- 12:35 -- and we ran at that average rate for 3 miles! I couldn't believe it! I actually ran consistently for 38 minutes without a walk break! Then we slowed it down a bit and took on a nice hill around the last 1/2 mile or so.
Mark was great. We talked strategy and tips, how to approach dealing with hills, and how to stay on pace. He shared some of his run history, which was fascinating. Of course, this was pretty easy for him so he could talk freely. Me, I was concentrating on breathing and not talking nearly as much. But it was all good! When we finished, he was up to running with me more so I am definitely going to take him up on that. I know he will challenge me, in a safe way.
Got home, did some stretching, took a shower, and had some breakfast. What a great way to start the weekend!
Oh yeah, yesterday I stopped by the Pearl iZumi Factory Store on my way home from the office, hoping I could find a few more shirts and shorts to wear. I was worried it would cost me a fortune. So I get there, and the place is awesome! The guy there, Tyler, showed me a bunch of stuff and then we went to the clearance/sale racks. They had TONS of stuff there that he had just shown me -- but here they were all 50% or more off! So I got nice Infinity Tech Shirts for like $15 each! I ended up getting three shirts, two pairs of running shorts, and a good running hat at a great price! FTW!

As I don't hold any deals worldwide and my sister (ana pia), the one who gained full possession of my mother's house (33 pte) when all her children passed the rights to my mother - after my father passed away, not sister (ana pia), but she (ana pia) told me, that me and her (ana pia) own the house (33 pte) and since when and without my permit, consent and knowledge over matters, when the rest is left out and why? - With respect, but my mother in her full capacity told me complete otherwise, that her house (33 pte) belongs to all her children, not me or my sister (ana pia) "only", but the whole complete family and unable to enjoy since years (1985 - 2016) ago if we ALL remember, "when sold me (as SLAVE)" and returned me back to the UK with the ex-husband/s family for more abuse, when I wanted to divorce, pretty much the same as 6 million Jews peoples returned own boat back to Hitler's during WWII, that I lost track of any family values, principles, or roots, mean such peoples are not my family anymore not matter how much they jump up and down and pretend to lay the law, as in no capacity, you sell your own brother and/or you sell your own sister, pretty much the same as the ex/husband sister social worker against her brother, if we remember very well and in order to deviate her own abuse, mischievous and malice!!- http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr I am writing here to explain anyone, that I don't walk alone as the ex/husband and his sister social worker and millions of English peoples that break own family bonds, even live separate from own parents as tradition, but I hold hundreds of family members on my father and on my mother's side, without counting the rest and for anyone to be full aware, that I am not a loner as you may think, but I hold a complete kingdom, in which I am not responsible, as I lost track, but not them to me with the help of the ex/husband sister social worker that STOLE all my matters (family, friends, children, marriage, everything!) with own lies (5 boys, the river, etc) and the rest! - My sister (soco) when filled UK benefits with aid of the CAB (as this is own motto, let other peoples to do own matters, to be blame after and now using my children?!!), the staff was asking her if she owns foreign deals (property) and she deny, I have to ask her the same QUESTION in Spanish to make sure understood, but deny again, when in reality she (soco) holds property in Mexico (16 of September, VW, etc) on the name of my brother (rafael) when claiming income support and the rest of UK benefits, never worked in the UK and the ex/husband told me when on divorce times, that "the English system for the English peoples", after I worked, paid my contributions (even today as poll tax and tax when shopping!) since day one (1985 - 2016), without speaking the English language properly and bring up alone our children, as explain in this link: http://rcp13.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/the-british-conservative-party.html
I don't have to carry my "family problems" at any time, but them alone and alone they will have to respond the law of own makings, with respect, but I am feed up to be blame of own actions, when we all received the same education, principles and opportunities and I am still waiting for an answer regarding Pola, with same sisters (mara, soco, etc) that bring so much pain, hatred and confusion to our family. http://rcp13.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/a-letter-to-pola.html As my brother (jose) and Pola were an item, this was our secret, but my RACIST sisters (soco and mara) when found out separate and returned Pola back to her place, gave her money, paid her bus ticket and aid Pola to escape from my mother, when me and my mother loved her very much, so this is a lie - not plausible in law = breaking couples, marriages, lives, etc!- Unfortunately own lie as I was told by such sisters (soco and mara) reflects today again, but with different brother (rafael) married a second time, perhaps as the rest learn the trade, because his first wife (gracia maria sotelo figeroa) need to flee (escape exactly the same as Pola!!) in HIDE from my brother (as ana pia told me) and back to Michoacan with own family and children (3 daughters), exactly the same as Pola, what a coincidence?- As mention before, I have no contact with any family and my sister (josefa) / parents invite me to Michoacan "once" and for a few days, as petition of my brother (rafael), but never invite me to his wedding, because the family passed my persona - personality and personal Identification to the rest, that takes oportunity (pancho - see photo http://tinyurl.com/qygso96 ) "after the work done", maybe to frame me after, confuse when matters happenes and/or pretend, by stealing my own persona, personality and ID, including my sisters that should set the example in the family, but holds both brother's ex-family as you can see photos http://tinyurl.com/p6tjgax and unable to participate, either passed away (RIP) for a reason, or divorce after and for a reason, including in full contact with the ex/husband family since day one (1985 - 2016), but if I hold any contact with own family / friends, then abuse, or I kissed own husband, or etc, etc, etc of eternal lies, tales and cruel remarks!!?- If my sister (soco - family and friends as hazz, maricela lopez, etc) and brothers (jose - guerrero and rafael - sotelo) doesn´t mind that the rest of family holds own PRIVATE matters for-ever and for a reason, I do mind, because when things happens in the family as my brother (RIP http://tinyurl.com/ofx7nwy ), then I get the blame after and unaware of the hide matters and contact with each other "before" as bonding, when keep passing all me and mine to the rest, with any excuse but abuse, crime when murder and lack of capacity to make own friends - family, as who will sell own family, including ex-husband sister (http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr), social worker against own brother, as if I don't remember? - As me and mine (children) badly affected today by own bullying - scoring points (http://tinyurl.com/kvbazhr), when the ex/husband sister, social worker that works for the community not against, but able to open the UK doors to my family - friends own lies against us (her own brother family, who on earth?), without ever asking me for my part, hiding in "confidentiality acts" the cowards, not holding the ex-husband UK friends / family, but mine, what strange and reasons?! - http://tinyurl.com/ndpyqmx
I don't want to see Pola again, as I am unaware of the matters and in which terms she regard me today (unfortunately!!!), but prove matters that I don't hold anything against her and my brother, because my sisters (mara and soco, now own children!!) in connection with my brother's own wife as today, families as you can see parties, even breaking marriages as mine, from behind feeding them with the wrong information and using own sisters / brothers, as the ex/husband sister, social worker that loves to go against own brother with any issues and sister (soco) ex/husband (norma hazz), that alike each other story and broke our marrieges, then comes the rest against me, when I am the same as them, so when? - As I told another sister (ana pia) of my problems (I was trying to find out who was the person that was feeding HATE to the ex/husband and his own family), but deny me the rights to know that time (1990's), because the Prime Minister spoke "exactly the same words that I did to my sister only (http://tinyurl.com/j8c4fw3)", mean she was and still today the only person that I spoke of such words, when I felt matters of HATE towards me, but unaware from where was coming against me and mine hurting my reputation badly, today we see the results with my brother, mean my family holds communication with my matters all the time, even government staff, selling us for nothing, but blame me?!!-
It must run in the same circles such families matters, not matter, if religious affairs, age, colour, disability, sexual orientation, gender and etc, but with different set of parents, brothers and sisters and the reasons I said today, that I hold the Prime Minister and his brother Alex Cameron with my fullest form of respect, until tax evasion and money laundering is sorted (http://tinyurl.com/jf9b66r), with no extra laws at the moment, that will block the rest to come forwards and protect maybe and perhaps breed more criminal activity in order to re-coup money from abroad, with tax evaders, money laundering, etc. http://tinyurl.com/j48u88g
I said this matter because:
1- If someone send / sent peoples against me for any reasons even as visitors, as you can read my complete blog with more than 440 + notes, mean in plain English that you can read my blog/notes anytime and acknowledge the same matters, while you can go on holiday, enjoy life and/or even use my material without my permit, consent, knowledge as the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, maybe to make deals, but who give you the rights over my blogs when no remuneration and studied the UK law and journalist as blogger all alone and for 5 years as a whole (2010 - 2016) and this is not ENVY but calls hard work, otherwise you are misleading the public to believe matters when is me who is writing matters not you, with not family help whatsoever except when child, now I am 55 years old granny trying to earn my living and prove myself as myself, not as family old teaching standards, but "new" me!!! -
2- What are the reasons in law when making more laws as the UK Prime Minister currently, when "the Panama business is all over the world and plastered in the news with any language as links before expose, just need to translate and believe me" when I mention previous of the illegal status to Money Laundering and Tax evasion (http://tinyurl.com/jf9b66r), but trying to use wistleblower (as me, Assange, etc) as scapegoats, in order to clean own acts from the past and re-direct own criminal activity, even if sell "family and protect / hide own problems?", as mention with my own family and even words, as confidentiality, so pardon me if I broke mine today with more than 440 notes, but who's started first? -
3- What is the point of government staff, when send peoples against me for any particular reasons, when in reality is to hide your own past - persona and re-direct matters, mean to discredit my work as colour, disabled, or any other RACIST attitude and expose me the lowest possible ways in public and collaborate with what already peoples speak, that in law is slander against humanity, but make you fell more important that the rest (as discriminatory) and get back for past good pastures / matters as if nothing ever happened (panama papers), or any other excuses as purchasing / stealing hard work - journalist investigation from us (me, assange, etc) and in order to help either The Queen (myself) and the world (assange and the rest) as today, even passing the law with new laws when no investigations over matters and in order to continue hiding the real abuses, in that way we are not going to finish never!! - As even today, with the loads of links, the real cash still HIDE and UK or worldwide can no benefit, but continue living in FINANCIAL crisis? -
4- When in reality is racism over the rest of UK citizens (me) with respect, when the ex/husband mention to me and by holding his own Bible that gave me as present, that the English system for the English peoples and this demonstrate today when I lost all, unless collaborate with millions of links in my blog as you can read along the way, you will not believe me, not to English peoples the racism (difference in treatment into one person, to another), but me as foreign national and I bet, I need to show you now the Holly Bible to prove and once again!-
5- The "family problems" of the ex/husband, his sister social worker and helpers, even using my children now to hide, but acts as if it is me the problem, when is all lack of own education, even to understand your own past / present and with respect, but your own making not mine as I was born in Mexico, not UK!!.- http://rosario1960.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/mystery-smell-from-uk-places-that-leaks.html
I put in this note the photo of Jamaica Prime Minister, as wants to return money from past slave matters with respect to her own peoples, that money apparently comes from the Cameron's own legacy as The Queen Elizabeth II own legacy paid large amount of money for such peoples to live TODAY in FREEDOMS, Liberty and FREE of oppression. http://tinyurl.com/junmt8q So again, I thank my parents for own excellent example to me, may come from same breed of peoples, but not same ideals, ideas, or even heart and with respect.
I already spoke of the same matters as read links before and not point to carry on with more notes, until more news comes from the same Tax evasion and Money laundering, as I hold nothing of the original papers and all is hide with banks and solicitors places of highest security (remember is cash!!) and secrecy and I also want remuneration and pride for my work, with respect, Rosario Castellanos de Parker.

Featured Artwork
This page features a weekly post of artworks that are not currently being shown within a gallery environment. They are available for purchase directly from the studio . Please get in touch for further information.
I am very much aware that paintings speak for themselves, have their own personality and say something different to each onlooker therefore I am often hesitant to write about individual pieces. The title however gives a little lead in to where my thoughts were when painting it. This long landscape format oil painting is available and was on view at my Open Studios Event at the end of April

You do the most interesting research. Interesting, but nor easy!
I've spent quite a bit of time researching Carmax and continuous improvement and haven't found any clear winners in terms of sources. It will be a matter of piecing together information and drawing conclusions from a variety of sources. I suggest you start with the Business LibGuide, as before.
On the articles tab, I chose ABI/Inform. I searched carmax AND "continuous improvement" with no luck, then carmax AND leadership. Then I went to just plain carmax. There's a lot of clutter, so I limited the results to the last 10 years using the right side toolbar and also limited by Source Type to look for Scholarly Journals. There is one article that might have value, Powell, S. (2006). Spotlight on George Stalk. Management Decision, 44(9), 1305-1310. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/00251740610707749 .
Then I "X"ed out of the scholarly journal selection (the same place - source type - in the right toolbar that I originally selected it) and clicked on Reports, also under Source Type. I chose the first report, CarMax, inc. : Retail - company profile, SWOT & financial report. (2014). The rest are redundant and not really useful.
Next I went back to the guide and clicked on Business Source Complete. Here, as before, the productive search term was just carmax. I limited my results to the last 10 years. The first thing I grabbed for review was the most recent SWOT analysis. It will contain some different information than the other. Then I checked the left toolbar, under Subject Thesaurus Term, click on Show More, and selected terms I thought might be relevant. such as Business Planning, Corporate Culture, Exectuives, and Management - Employee Participation. This provided 15 articles from trade publications.
I also searched Science Direct (from the LibGuide list) using the term carmax. There were 25 articles, and one ot two might be useful. Look for the articles that have the green striped box or the red striped box at the end of the title. You have immediate access to the full text of these.
Then I searched MarketLine Advantage, also linked in the guide. MarketLine has an excellent industry analysis and an excellent company analysis that may address forces of change and the company's leadership.
Then I went to Google, located the company's web site, and went to the Company Information section, About Carmax. The culture and values section includes a PDF of the Code of Conduct, the embodiment of the company values including continuous improvement.
I also Googled carmax "continuous improvement" site:.edu. Paste in the search for the best results. You may find information here. This result might be of use.
And just for the record, I searched our books, both print and online, exhaustively but found nothing.
So, this is a lot of searching without direct hits, but I think you can pull out enough information to accomplish the task.

Are U.S. Elections a fraud? Google accidentally releases Maine Caucus results a day early!
According to these pictures below, Google had "100%" of the votes reporting in before the vote has even begun (its later people!!)
Is this a hint from Google that its all rigged? Is Google in on everything and a whistle blower has released the evidence? Who knows. I am curious if this will be covered on the news or if Google will release a statement.
Here are the pictures in full size. To my understanding these were screen capped 3 hours before the 11th, yesterday February 10th.
Amazing. If you check now, it says zero reporting in. It will be interesting to see how accurate these results are when they finally do the count later today.
There has always been suspicion and a lot of evidence to support rigged elections, results, voter fraud, and pre picked presidents. And with all the out right unfairness to some of the candidates (Ron Paul) who knows, maybe its all true.
Click here to see a larger picture
I ask all of you to tweet this, +1 it, share on Facebook, link my blog or anything you can to spread the word.
Now apparently it went back to 0% reporting in about an hour the picture above. Hmm.. Idk. Something is up. Please leave a comment below and tell me what you think.

Never believed in elections in any country but this seems to be the only options for democracy. I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.ReplyDelete
I actually read an interesting article on this yesterday, can't for the life of me remember where it was from, though.ReplyDelete
Is it possible that they've tallied the early and absentee ballots and that's where these results came from?
That's pretty interesting!ReplyDelete
interdasting :)ReplyDelete
It could be what alyx said, or it could be estimates, or it could really be rigged. Very interesting nevertheless, but it does not surprise me at all.ReplyDelete
Wow I hope its not a fraudReplyDelete
I can tell you right now, I could Photoshop the exact same thing.ReplyDelete
and so we waitReplyDelete
Yeah it could be the absentee votes if primaries do that I'm not sure if they do. Guess we'll see later if the official votes match up to what Google says.ReplyDelete
Whaaat... definitely checking back on this. It might have been a simple error but if not...ReplyDelete

LONDON, December 09, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- It's going to be a gruesome February for visitors to London's Wellcome Collection, when this thoughtful gallery dedicated to the overlap of science and art will open a major exhibition looking at the history, science and art of forensic medicine. Forensics: The Anatomy Of Crime (26 February-21 June 2015) will travel from crime scene to courtroom, across centuries and continents, exploring the specialisms of those involved in the delicate processes of collecting, analysing and presenting medical evidence. It draws out the stories of victims, suspects and investigators of violent crimes, and our enduring cultural fascination with death and detection. Not for the faint-hearted, the exhibition will be in the rich tradition of the Wellcome Collection, which explores challenging but fascinating subjects. The gallery is located on the Euston Road, close to St Pancras, Euston and King's Cross stations. For more on the area and to find the cheapest hotels in London see LondonTown.com.
Forensics will display original evidence, archival material, photographic documentation, film footage, forensic instruments and specimens, and is rich with artworks offering both unsettling and intimate responses to traumatic events. It will look at famous cases involving forensic advances, including the Dr Crippen trial and the Ruxton murders, as well as pioneers of forensic investigation and the voices of experts working in the field today. Science, historic artefacts such as Victorian sketches from Jack The Ripper murder scenes and contemporary artists will illuminate the topic in five sections, from The Crime Scene, The Morgue, The Laboratory and The Search to the The Courtroom. The exhibition will also look at how forensics has been viewed historically, right back to the ancient world.
Lucy Shanahan, the curator, says: This exhibition gives alternative views of the forensic process from the CSI detections of popular fiction and television, while exploring the cultural fascination that the disciplines of forensic medicine inspire. Our journey from crime scene to courtroom takes in pioneers of scientific techniques that have revolutionised the way in which crimes are investigated, and offers visitors unexpected encounters with the changing relationship between medicine, law and society.

For those of you familiar with RSS, our feed address is http://www.scotlink.org/feed/. We also have a handy beginner's guide below.
A beginner's guide to RSS
Whilst a very useful technology for keeping tabs on multiple sources of information, RSS isn't known as the most user friendly of inventions. At LINK, we aim to make it easy for you to stay up to date with us, so we've put together this guide to help you get started.
What is RSS and how does it work?
Opinions on the acronym vary, but RSS is commonly accepted as being short for "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication". In a nutshell, sites that provide RSS information (such as LINK's) do so by providing users with a feed address, the contents of which are essentially a log of recent updates. This address can then be added to RSS software (known as a reader), which will check for new updates on demand (This can be automated, but requires the software to be running). Updates are normally kept available for at least a few weeks, so your computer doesn't need to be on around the clock!
Why RSS?
Once it's set up, RSS can display updates from all your favourite sites in one location. Particularly useful for news junkies or anyone who checks on multiple sites regularly!
Setting up RSS
Now that you know what RSS is and why you'd use it, you probably want to get it set up! For this walkthrough, we will be using the software "QuiteRSS", as it's free and available for both Windows and Mac. Set up should be similar for other readers though, so feel free to try different ones.
First, you'll want to download and install QuiteRSS from their site: quiterss.org.
Next, you'll need to copy our feed address: http://www.scotlink.org/feed/
Finally, in QuiteRSS, you'll see a big, green plus sign at the top left. If you hold your mouse over it, you can confirm you've got the right button, as a tool tip saying "Add RSS Feed" should pop up. Click on "feed" from the options provided, then paste in our feed address and follow any remaining prompts.
And you're done! From now on, a simple click of the refresh button – directly to the right of the add button – will download updates from LINK and any other sites you use RSS for. QuiteRSS is quite configurable, so feel free to have a play around and customise it to your liking – Support for that is available via their forums. Enjoy!

This week, a potential new family at Fortis asked me about my journey toward classical Christian education. I explained that the first seed was planted as I looked at the writings of our forefathers. Through the language and content of their writings I realized they received an education that created a different moral character in them. They asked me about some of the books that led to that conclusion, and I have been thinking about it all week. I realized that one of the places that I noticed the difference was through reading commentaries that were written during previous generations. Let me give you some examples of the things that they would say from just the late 1800's to early 1900's:
"The greatest men have been those who have cut their way to success through difficulties. And such have been the greatest triumphs of art and science; such, too, of religion"[1]
"Patriotism is a goodly virtue, though not the noblest. To fence ourselves round with selfish interests is despicable. We envy not that man's narrow soul who has no sympathy nor energy for his nation's weal. The best Christian will take some interest in everything—in municipal matters, international treaties, literature, science, commerce, art. In the broadest sense, he is a citizen of the world. He lives to bless others. This is Christlike."[2]
It is hard to not see the connection between their writings and the passion of classical Christian educators to reconnect with our educational heritage. As I pondered my journey that traveled through the writings of others, I realize that I was powerfully influenced by the wisdom and eloquence of the past. When we immerse ourselves in good literature, it paints a picture of a world before us that captures our imagination. We start to ask good questions and begin to wonder about the possibilities of influencing the world with the faith and values that influenced them. After all, they were the product and heirs of a great history of Western education. That is why an education that joins in the Great Conversation of Western civilization from a Christian worldview has won me over to Fortis Academy.

Claire Chitham
A pilates instructor for more than 10 years, Claire knows a thing or two about how well the body responds to this combo of stretching and resistance training.
So why is Pilates so good for you? Well, the short answer to that question is – because it helps build strength and tone while you're body is in its most ideal postural form. This improves your overall health and longevity and ability to live a pain-free life. Boom! There's a reason this form of exercise - one many called a fad back when it first appeared - is still going strong today.
Pilates can create strength and flexibility (without bulk) in a way that supports all functional movement and structural health. And one of the positive upsides of that is that when we build tone from a place of correct posture, we're also shaping the body in its most ideal way too.
After doing regular pilates classes for eight months, I literally stretched myself taller. Yep, I had lengthened my spine by 1.5cm and the marks are still on the wall to prove it!
I first started pilates in 2003, when I was looking for an exercise regime that wasn't about doing weights at a gym. I hated exercise. But I desperately needed to get fit if I was to hold down the career that I had going on. I was about to do a four-week season of a demanding play six nights a week, whilst shooting Shortland Street full-time during the day, so I needed energy. I was also sick of seeing my terrible, slouchy posture on screen. Once I tried pilates, I loved it so much that a year later I began training as an instructor and the following year I taught my first-ever class.
I've now taught in different cities and countries over the years and been exposed to many different philosophies and styles. And the one thing I can say, is that I still love the method and style that is taught at my home studio in Auckland - Suna Pilates - the most. Their focus is firstly on educating you about your own body and how it works and then building strength to support your best posture and shape. From there, we make sure to change it up and keep it fun so that boredom doesn't have a chance to sabotage your #fitnessgoals.
I love that we have clients of all ages, shapes, sizes and genders. We have taught All Blacks, Tall Blacks and 85-year-old legends all in the same class. The coolest thing is that everyone finds it challenging in their own individual way.
Pilates is also great if you are post-physio, trying to prevent an old injury from flaring up, trying to stay strong for a particular hobby or sport - such as golfing, skiing riding, running or tennis. Really it's an antidote for anything that requires functional movement that you know can be tough on the body. Pilates is also amazing at helping the body perform better. The exercises taught help build strength fro the inside out because it ALWAYS starts with activation from your core. This builds strength around your spine and bones. Plus everything else just flows better once your core has switched on.
More than anything I love the body awareness that pilates has taught me. I know when my posture is letting me down, and what to do to correct it.
- Yours In Health and Happiness, CC
