Lilly's Story
One of our little rescues was named Lilly - she was the worst case of skin problems we had ever seen when she arrived into our rescue program.

They are enjoying their time at their foster home in the Hamilton area.
An update...Duffy and Brodie have been adopted! Two cuter boys could not be found and they are together and so happy!!!!
These 2 boys are so sweet and so loving, they walk well on a leash and are both house broken and both are excellent kissers!
Old Blue Eyes...
OK...this one is not really a WiN Westie
... but when we found this old picture of Frank Sinatra with a sweet little Westie, we just knew we had to put it on our website, somewhere!!!
Can you blame us???

I'm a freelance lighting designer (BA, Theatrical Arts) based in Helsinki, Finland. In addition to my diverse projects I'm finalizing my master studies in the Department of Lighting and Sound Design of the University of the Arts Helsinki.
I work mostly with contemporary performances, music and events ranging from small underground clubs to festivals. Nothing lights me up as working with music, although I couldn't make it without the precision and small details of performing arts. I guess that's the main reason why I've chosen to work constantly on both fields.
I love the first creative part in all projects as much as the technical development of the process. As my greatest strengths I see the ability to combine detailed artistic visions with complex technical systems and communicating my ideas using realistic sketches. During the last few years I've also started to work with video, which interests me more as an intelligent light source and living set element than source of information.
I'm always looking for new adventures so feel free to contact me! If I'm not answering right away I'm probably busy with some project or catching waves in someplace warm.
"Performing Perception"
The artistic part of the master thesis of choreographer Tero Hytönen. The piece will be performed at Kallio Stage on October 2019.
New contemporary circus piece by Nuua premiering in 2020.
A new project form Sirkum Polaris directed by Olli Vuorinen of Nuua.
"Odd Meters"
A contemporary dance piece by choreographer Mikko Niemistö. Premiere will be at Zodiak - Center for New Dance during fall 2020.
Mechanit V2
With Atte Olsonen and Ukko-Pekka Itäpelto we continue to dig deeper into the aesthetics of mechanics and synthetic materials.
A touring contemporary solo dance performance by clarinetist Lauri Sallinen. We had the premiere as part of the Helsinki Week 2017.
A touring piece operating somewhere in between a dance ritual and a performance. Energpriests follows the waves of energy flow in the body and they surf on them.
We are looking forward into booking more gigs for many already premiered projects.

Overtraining and Adrenal Stress Syndrome
- Chronic stress from overtraining, which is common in runners, may be linked to problems in the adrenal gland. Overtraining Syndrome (OS) has been linked with adrenal insufficiency.
- Overtraining Syndrome (OS) has been described as chronic fatigue, burnout and staleness, where an imbalance between training/competition, versus recovery occurs.
- Chronic overtraining is what leads to serious health problems, including adrenal insufficiency. Severe overtraining over an extended period can result in adrenal depletion. An Addison-Type overtraining syndrome, where the adrenal glands are no longer able to maintain proper hormone levels and athletic performance is severely compromised has been described by researchers.
- Many children who play sports can also be overtraining. One of the major issues with overtraining is adrenal dysregulation and depletion. In this meta-analysis the authors say that overtraining is an imbalance between training and recovery where performance is compromised.
100B as a Marker for Brain Damage and Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Following Exercise
- Elevated S100B levels have been recorded following exercise and are mostly attributed to either an increase in BBB permeability or trauma to the head. However, even in the absence of head trauma, it appears that the BBB may be compromised following exercise, with the severity dependent on exercise intensity.
Effects of Exercise on the Immune System
- Overtraining syndrome is a neuroendocrine disorder characterized by poor performance in competition, inability to maintain training loads, persistent fatigue, reduced catecholamine excretion, frequent illness, disturbed sleep and alterations in mood state.
- There is evidence that several immune parameters are suppressed during prolonged periods of intense exercise training. These include decreases in neutrophil function, serum and salivary immunoglobulin concentrations and natural killer cell number and possibly cytotoxic activity in peripheral blood.
- Moreover, the incidence of symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection increases during periods of endurance training, as well as increased cytokine production.
Overtraining definition
University of Colorado Hospital identified two types:
- Unusual muscle soreness
- Not allowing for sufficient recovery
- After several days of hard training
- Staleness occurs
- Athlete ignores signs of overreaching and trains
- Hormonal, biochemical and inflammatory imbalances
Symptoms of Overtraining
- Unusual soreness after a workout, which persists with continued training
- Inability to train at a previously manageable level
- "Heavy" leg muscles, even with light exercise
- Delay in recovery
- Plateaus or even declines
- Inability to relax or poor quality sleep
- Increase in tension, depression, anger or confusion
- No energy, decreased motivation, moodiness
- Increased occurrence of sickness
- Irregular periods or loss of menstrual periods
- Prolonged general fatigue
How to Prevent Overtraining
- Listen to your body
- Keep a training record
- Balance training with recovery
- Don't exercise when injured or in pain
- Eat adequate protein
- Address inflammation
- Sleep regulation Hydrate adequately
- Avoid nutrient deficiencies
- Calorie intake that matches need for energy
- Reduce other stressors
- Adaptogens
- Stabilize blood sugar

Las Vegas lawyers honored for their help for Holocaust survivors (8/21/2009)

Lawyers honored for their help for Holocaust survivors
By Buck Wargo
Friday, Aug. 21, 2009
Twenty Las Vegas attorneys have been recognized by the American Bar Association for participating in a pro bono project to help Holocaust survivors obtain reparation from the German government.
The attorneys worked with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada for the Holocaust Survivors Justice Network, a national coalition of attorneys, legal professionals and social service agencies that support survivors with paperwork to claim reparations.
The bar gave the group its Pro Bono Publico Award, its highest recognition for pro bono legal work. Nearly 35 cities in the U.S., Canada and Australia participated.
The network was established after the German government created a program in 2007 to compensate survivors who labored in Nazi-controlled ghettos during World War II. Survivors are eligible for a one-time payment of about $2,800, says Mitchell Kamin, president and CEO of Bet Tzedek, a national public interest law firm that helped launch the project.
The network interviewed about 5,000 survivors and filed about 3,000 claims worth $8 million in reparation, Kamin says.
Kate Lowenhar-Fisher of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, calls her involvement one of the most rewarding experiences in her legal career. Lowenhar-Fisher says she worked with an elderly Las Vegas couple in their 80s and 90s — one who worked in the ghetto and the other who was an Auschwitz survivor.
"Offering support and listening to their experiences has been an emotional, deeply moving experience." Lowenhar-Fisher says.
The survivors needed legal assistance because it can be daunting to fill out the applications, Lowenhar-Fisher says. The program, which fills in the gap of other reparation programs that have ceased, was geared to those who worked in ghettos, she says.
Las Vegas attorney Malik Ahmad says it was a rewarding experience to help a Las Vegas man who worked for the Nazis as a mechanic in Poland. Ahmad said he volunteered shortly after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Holocaust never happened.
"Somebody came to my office who was living proof that it had happened," Ahmad says. "It was a good learning experience. I am glad I participated to help someone in this."
Other attorneys with the project are Emily Gubler Clark and Caryn Tigselling of Lewis and Roca; Rena Hughes of Hoskin Hughes Pifer; Chen Min "Jack" Juan of Marquis & Aurbach; Jake Kelsey of Barker Washburn; Rebecca Kinney, Rebecca Miltenberger, Adam Segal and Elayna Youchah of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck; Akke Levin of Morris Peterson; Royi Moas of Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin; Andrew Moore and Jordan Pinjuv of Greenburg Traurig; Patrick Murch and Joe Schrage of McDonald Carano Wilson; Lenard Schwartzer of Schwartzer & McPherson; Randa Reiff Shea of Patton, Shea & Kiraly, and Adam Smith of Glaser, Weil, Fink, Jacobs, Howard & Shapiro.

Rory McIlroy digs deep in Players Championship as in-form Dustin Johnson looks to cement world number one spot
World number one Dustin Johnson sent a clear message to the posse of players queuing up to dethrone him when he opened with a blemish-free 66 in The Players at TPC Sawgrass.
Justin Thomas, Jason Day, Jon Rahm, Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose could potentially take over as world number one with a win but Johnson showed them all a clear pair of heels.
While Rose and Rahm shot 68s and Day a 69, Thomas struggled to a 73 and Spieth a 75. Rory McIlroy had to work hard for a 71 that was just a shot inside the projected cut line.
When the dust settled, Johnson was sitting pretty in a six-way tie for the lead with former US Open champion Webb Simpson, Sweden's Alex Noren, Chesson Hadley, Matt Kuchar and Patrick Cantlay, one clear of a six-strong group that included defending champion Si Woo Kim.
Johnson changed to the AimPoint green-reading method after a disappointing putting week at the Masters and got his reward for missing just one green in regulation, making four of his six birdies with putts between 10 and 34 feet.
"I felt like it was a really solid round," said Johnson, who started at the 10th and went out in five-under 31 before picking up his sixth birdie at the par-five second.
"I drove it very well and hit a lot of greens. I wasn't too sharp with the irons but I was still on the green and rolled the ball pretty well. I felt like all the putts I had to today I had the right reads on, which is something I haven't been doing very well."
As for his world No 1 ranking, he's clearly keen to hold on to it for a 65th consecutive week.
"I definitely want to stay there," Johnson said. "If someone plays well and passes me, obviously they deserve it. But I'm going to do whatever I can to stay there."
The stellar threeball of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler failed to sparkle - the left-hander shooting a ragged 79 to Woods' erratic 72 as Fowler signed for a 74.
Unlike Spieth, who started bogey-bogey-eagle-double bogey and found water three times in his first seven holes en route to a disquieting 75, McIlroy got off to a good start.
Starting on the back nine, he birdied the 11th from 20 feet and two-putted the driveable 12th before following a three-putt bogey at the 13th with an easy birdie four at the 16th.
The Co Down man is trying hard to be disciplined on a tactical track that he's trying hard to love.
But he couldn't resist his attacking instincts at the 18th and pulled a driver into the lake before getting up and down from 110 yards for a bogey five, making a 12 footer.
After taking four to get down from greenside rough at the par-five second, slipping back to level par with a six there, he chipped in for birdie at the fourth but had to work hard to par his way home for his 71.
Like McIlroy, Shane Lowry started on the back nine and picked up early birdies at the 12th and 13th before he double-bogeyed the 14th and 17th after tee shots found water.
Turning for home, the Offaly man made a 32 footer for birdie at the par-five second, but he bogeyed the seventh and then drove into the lake at the par-five ninth, finishing with a bogey for a 75.
In the European Tour's Rocco Forte Sicilian Open, Derry's Ruaidhri McGee is 12 strokes behind Denmark's Lucas Bjerregaard and England's Ryan Evans after a six over 77.
On the Challenge Tour, Ardglass' Cormac Sharvin is just three shots behind Spain's Adri Arnaus, tied for second after a three-under 69 in the Open de Portugal at Morgado Golf and Country Club.
Ballymena's Dermot McElroy is tied fifth after a 70 with Moyola Park's Chris Selfridge and Naas' Jack Hume just inside the cut mark after 73s.
Jonny Caldwell and Stuart Grehan signed for 75s and Conor O'Rourke posted a 76.

Dividends can be underrated but they form a large part of investment returns, playing an important role in compounding returns in the long run. Historically, HCI Group Inc (NYSE:HCI) has been paying a dividend to shareholders. Today it yields 3.7%. Does HCI Group tick all the boxes of a great dividend stock? Below, I'll take you through my analysis.
See our latest analysis for HCI Group
Here's how I find good dividend stocks
When assessing a stock as a potential addition to my dividend Portfolio, I look at these five areas:
- Does it pay an annual yield higher than 75% of dividend payers?
- Has its dividend been stable over the past (i.e. no missed payments or significant payout cuts)?
- Has it increased its dividend per share amount over the past?
- Is its earnings sufficient to payout dividend at the current rate?
- Will it have the ability to keep paying its dividends going forward?
How does HCI Group fare?
HCI Group has a negative payout ratio, meaning that the company is not yet profitable and is paying dividend by dipping into its retained earnings.
When considering the sustainability of dividends, it is also worth checking the cash flow of a company. A business with strong cash flow can sustain a higher divided payout ratio than a company with weak cash flow.
If there's one type of stock you want to be reliable, it's dividend stocks and their stable income-generating ability. The reality is that it is too early to consider HCI Group as a dividend investment. It has only been consistently paying dividends for 8 years, however, standard practice for reliable payers is to look for a 10-year minimum track record.
In terms of its peers, HCI Group generates a yield of 3.7%, which is high for Insurance stocks but still below the market's top dividend payers.
Next Steps:
After digging a little deeper into HCI Group's yield, it's easy to see why you should be cautious investing in the company just for the dividend. On the other hand, if you are not strictly just a dividend investor, the stock could still be offering some interesting investment opportunities. Given that this is purely a dividend analysis, you should always research extensively before deciding whether or not a stock is an appropriate investment for you. I always recommend analysing the company's fundamentals and underlying business before making an investment decision. I've put together three relevant aspects you should further research:
- Future Outlook: What are well-informed industry analysts predicting for HCI's future growth? Take a look at our free research report of analyst consensus for HCI's outlook.
- Valuation: What is HCI worth today? Even if the stock is a cash cow, it's not worth an infinite price. The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether HCI is currently mispriced by the market.
- Dividend Rockstars: Are there better dividend payers with stronger fundamentals out there? Check out our free list of these great stocks here.
To help readers see past the short term volatility of the financial market, we aim to bring you a long-term focused research analysis purely driven by fundamental data. Note that our analysis does not factor in the latest price-sensitive company announcements.

I'm back with another spring cleaning post, this one came from cleaning out my makeup and shopping through my current collection for some new goodies. I've picked out some old favorites that will be flattering during the spring and for work. Most of these products are neutral and easy to wear, with a few exceptions. A year ago that would have been really boring to me, but I've found a level of comfort with makeup staples that I can use to quickly get ready for work in the early morning hours.
To always encourage myself to recycle out products I'm no longer using, I keep a small bin on the floor next to my vanity that I can toss products in while digging through my drawers. When I actively start decluttering my makeup collection, I tend to get rid of a lot of lip products. I struggle to wear lip products, especially during the work week, so I don't have a need for a huge collection of lip stick. Lip gloss or stains would be more ideal for me since I'm in an office most days, but I just don't prefer those formulas; if I'm going to wear a lip product I want it to have some punch! Because of this, I not only declutter lip products a lot, but I rarely buy them anymore.
This time around, I also threw out, or will be passing along to friends, the product samples that I receive as gifts with purchase. There's some products I get with purchases that are just not for and there's no point in keeping them just because they were free. I'm also decluttering eye shadows palettes I not longer use or that are not good quality.
– Sigma Blushes | This might be a surprising product in the mix, but Sigma's blushes really are pretty great. I've always liked them for their color payoff, blendablility, and lasting power. Recently, I dug the shade Cheeky out of my drawer and it's been a perfect coral for work in the spring weather. I also really enjoy the shade Serene which is a natural flush color, perfect for any time of the year. The shade range also has colors that act as a bronzer, Mellow, and a highlight, Peaceful.
The downer part here, is that Sigma is mostly available online only. You can buy it in some stores, or if you live in Minnesota the Sigma store is at the Mall of America. These are worth checking out if they're readily available to you!
– Milani – Luminoso | This is an oldie but a goodie. I was going through my blush drawer and just had to pull it out. This is definitely a jem from the drugstore and a jem of a blush. It's a glowing coral shade that's hard for anyone to overdue and looks great on nearly all skin tones. There used to be a time when Milani was hard to get your hands on, but now the brand is widely available at CVS, Target, and some Walgreens.
– Lorac Pro Palette | The Lorac Pro Palette is on the top of most beauty lover's top palette's list except for mine. I purchased the Lorac Pro Palette because of all the hype surrounding it, and I was sadly let down. I loved the idea of this palette, one row matte and one row shimmer, of neutrals shades ideal for everyday. When I finally used the shadows, I was kind of surprised that they were so powdery and would away if I blended at them too much.
I decided to dig out this palette given the neutral, everyday shades which made wearing it easy for work. Over the past week, I've been surprised at how much I'm enjoying it for work days. The browns are perfect for a day time smokey eye that I've been rocking with my spring wardrobe. There's a few pops of color in this palette if you absolutely can't stay all neutral, but they're still colors that could work in an office setting.
– Smashbox Photo Op Eye Shadow Trio – Screen Shot | This is generally a product I save for fall because of the warm shades, but it's also a product I genuinely love. Who says you always have to follow seasonal rules? This is a handy eyes shadow trio for work because it has the basic three shades needed for a look: a matte neutral, shimmer mid tone, dark defining color that can also be used a liner.
– Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow – Dolci (LE) | This shade was limited edition from their Dolci spring collection last spring. This is not the only limited edition product I love from that collection last year; I've mentioned the bronzer on my blog multiple times. Anyways, this shade is beautiful rose gold shade with a lot of shimmer. This shades shows up more true to color when applied over a sticky base. This would be great for a day at the beach or for a summer vacation.
– Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain – Honey | I brought this Los Angeles in my travel makeup bag because it's simple and easy to wear. Since I got back, I dropped this into my handbag and it's been my go-to for work.
– Cover Girl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm – Shade 2333 | Another jumbo lip balm that easy to apply, this one not a lip stain. I searched the internet however and I think this shade has been discontinued. How could I ever figured that out since there's no shade names on the packaging, only numbers. Anyways this is nice coral shade, perfect for spring, that I can keep in my hand bag for a quick pop of color. Being at work doesn't mean I always have to wear neutral shades.

I just found out about the campaign you and your associates are running to oppose the planned changes to the 30% ruling, and I was wondering if there was any way I can get involved besides donating to the GoFundMe. I know that the upcoming debate will determine whether or not a transition period will be added to the plan, and the outcome of that is of extreme importance to me. I am in what I think is a unique situation, and a change in the ruling without a transition would essentially force me to abandon my job and move back to the states on short notice, so I'm wondering if there's any testimony I could give that might help bring some people in parliament around to our side.
As a bit of background, I studied in the Netherlands previously, from 2009-2012. As a US citizen, I was not receiving any kind of subsidy, I was not allowed to work to finance my studies, and I had to pay the maximum level of tuition (EU students paid, on average, 25% of what I paid). Upon graduating, I returned to the US and worked in the US government for several years. In late 2016, I started to explore my options for a next step in my career.
I'm a data scientist, a profession that involves software engineering and statistics; it's both a lucrative and sought-after skillset, so I didn't have to wait long to get several competitive job offers. Of the most attractive options, one was from a major Dutch multinational company in Amsterdam, and another was from a large corporation in the US. The US offer was nearly double the Dutch company's offer in terms of compensation, but after adjusting for both cost of living and, critically, the 30% ruling (which the Dutch company used as a selling point), the offers were competitive. I enjoyed my study time in the Netherlands, so I went with the Dutch company's offer over the competing offer. My employer was very happy with my decision, as they had been advertising for my function for nearly 2 years to no avail. In the time since being hired, I've gotten consistently glowing performance reviews, and my boss has explicitly expressed that they were satisfied with their decision to hire and relocate me.
Upon arrival, I applied for the ruling. The government made the determination that, due to my previous stay in the Netherlands, I would be eligible for the ruling for 5 years instead of 8. I didn't particularly like this decision, especially since I paid higher tuition and was not eligible to work alongside my studies while I was here, but I accepted it, as 5 years was sufficient time to make my planned progress on student loans. After 5 years, I would be in better financial shape, I would hopefully have gotten promotions, and if I were still even living here, I would be in good shape to take the pay cut. Most importantly, though, a 5-year horizon is more than enough time to make financial plans.
The government's planned cuts would really pull the rug out from under me. Living in Amsterdam is expensive, I don't have the knowledge or the network that locals have and can capitalize on, and the fact that my family and friends (including my girlfriend) live an ocean away means that I'm spending an outsized portion of my income just on plane tickets to visit and attend important family events like weddings. My salary with the 30% ruling is sufficient to pay my rent, provide for my travel, and make the headway I need to make on my student loans, but not much more than that. I'm certainly not saving money or living an extravagant lifestyle. If the cut happens as Mr. Snel has proposed, I will experience a 20% net pay cut in April. In order to stay in the Netherlands at that point, my employer will need to increase my salary significantly or I will have to move into a significantly cheaper accommodation, likely outside of Amsterdam. My employer has already said that they cannot compensate me for the loss of the 30% ruling, and housing prices are such that I would probably end up having to move to someplace significantly cheaper (e.g. Almere) absent a salary bump.
Of course, considering that I have an in-demand skillset, I'm not inclined to accept a large pay cut and reduction in lifestyle quality, so if the proposed changes go through, I will be leaving the Netherlands in April. This will leave my employer with a large hole in the team that they have previously had a hard time filling, and from an economic perspective, the Dutch government will lose out on the taxes I would have been paying on the 70% of my income that would have been taxed over the next 3 years. The whole idea seems counter-intuitive, predicated on the idea that a lot of people will not actually leave if the changes go through. Well, I can say unequivocally that I will leave if these changes happen. The simple fact is that Dutch salaries are not competitive when cost of living is taken into account. If they want to bring in-demand technical talent to their shores, they either need an incentive like 30%, or they need to increase wages overall.

We are about to be celebrating the 4th of July! It's a wonderful holiday to celebrate, and usually it involves, time with friends and family, being in the water of some sort, lots of good food, fireworks, and alcohol!
Now I don't know about you, but on the 4th, our celebration can tend to be an all weekend thing. Not just a one evening event. That means we are usually consuming more calories than we normally would due to food, and high sugar fruits (like watermelon...because who doesn't love a cold, fresh cut watermelon on a hot summer holiday)! Plus, if you like to enjoy a beer or margarita on this day, or throughout the weekend, your mind is about to be blown at how many extra calories you could be taking in just due to over drinking in celebration of the holiday.
That's right, according to a study published by Women's Health...
"Drinking beyond your "tipping point" can make you consume 6,300 more calories than you normally would...."
Woah! That seems totally unrealistic...RIGHT!?!?
Basically though, when you drink too much, you tend to eat too much as well. I taught about this in my Sugar Free Alcohol Mini Session. It's easy to get munchie and eat things you wouldn't normally when you have been drinking. Plus when you get tipsie or more, you have less self-control when it comes to eating as well.
According to the study done by Women's Health, the 6,300 extra calories aren't just from the night you drink either, but those are calories consumed in the following 24 hours as well.
"Broken down, that's an extra 1,476 from the drinks, 2,829 in food that night, and 2,051 the next day. Just FYI, that's enough to gain almost two pounds with each binge-drinking episode."
Wow! So what can you do to change this? Well since going sugar free, over a year and a half ago, I have done my research on alcohol and found the types that are lowest in sugar, and best for you to drink. Get all my tips HERE! But, if you are looking for some quick drinks to make at home or at your party this weekend, you can first try my Sugar Free Margarita Recipe, or my favorite VANILLA SUNSHINE COCKTAIL!
So I encourage you to try one of these recipes, or if you are wanting to know more about what kind of alcohols you can have and what kind you should be avoiding, snag my Sugar Free Alcohol Mini Session which comes with 3 additional cocktail recipes!

Exam performance improving, figures show
EXAM performance is improving among GCSE pupils with more young people achieving five `good' grades including English and maths.
The Department of Education has published a statistical bulletin analysing how well those in Year 12 and 14 performed.
Its bulletin includes information on examination performance by gender, sector, and free school meal entitlement.
It is widely accepted that good literacy and numeracy are key to employability and further study, and the Executive is committed to ensuring that more pupils "master the basics" by the time they leave school.
Performance data previously showed any five GCSEs at grades A*-C. The newer indicator, therefore, includes the achievement of a grade A*-C in GCSE English and maths.
In 2016/17, 70.3 per cent of Year 12s achieved this, an increase of 2.4 percentage points from 2015/16.
The pass rate dropped among children entitled to free meals - 49.5 per cent - again a small rise on the previous year.
Since 2008/09, grammar schools have outperformed non-grammar schools. In 2008/09, the proportion in grammar was 93.8 per cent. By 2016/17 it had risen to 94.1 per cent. The equivalent figures for non-grammar schools were 32.9 and 49.9 per cent respectively.
At A-level, 69 per cent of pupils achieved 3 or more at grades A*-C. This compares with 66.3 per cent in 2015/16.

In May we wrote about South Florida's first food swap - an event where people bring homemade foods and trade them for others. Organizer Marie Castro had heard about swaps in other parts of the country and decided to have one in Broward and then Palm Beach. This month she's bringing it to Miami.
"I've done two so far, and they have been wonderful," said Castro. "Someone even brought beer, arancini... the list goes on and on."
On the day of the event, participants bring foods made or grown at home. It can be jam, granola, bread, anything really. They have 30 minutes to mingle, 30 minutes to look around and place bids on what they want and one hour to swap. So if you make a mean kimchee or your pasta sauce is famous among your friends, make a large batch, package it and swap it for other foods for your pantry.
The Miami food swap is from 6 to 8 p.m. on July 25 at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Sign up on Facebook or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Also check out Castro's swap how-to for more information on what to bring and what to expect.

There is a saying in business that "no risk, no gain" and in terms of business it's true as well. If you can't take more risk in the business then it will be not possible for you to grow more and gain more revenue as well.
Thus, it should be the duty of each businessman that he must take a bit of risk in order to grow his empire.
But how much risk one should take in the business and how to cover it up is the bone of contention. Among all other viable options, there is one which can give you a prudent and effective control on your risk and thus you can tackle the situations in a better way.
It is needless to say that the Business insurance is a way by which one can control the things. It is a financial vehicle which is designed to safeguard the risk or financial losses of the business and provide a sigh of relief to the business owners. There are various advantages that one can reap from taking this measure by contacting a business insurance specialists to curb down the risk.
- It can take care of the loss and any forms of liability occurred in unfortunate circumstances.
- Business insurance protects people and the business environment.
- It can reduce the sudden rise in the operational costs due to any accidents or loss.
- It ensures the continuity of the business and prolongs the existence of it as well.
- It is fully committed to give you full support and assistance in preventing the financial losses thus you can do your business in a more aggressive way and can grow significantly without any tension or stress.

Rugby Starts Strong!
The WA Varsity soundly defeated Lanier Middle School 51 to 17 at home in the Green Jays' first match in the Houston Youth Rugby Association.
Harrison Heard scored the first try (touch down worth 5-points) for the Green Jays followed by Jackson Litts' first of three 2-point conversion kicks.
From there Pablo Granados score two tries, Jackson Litts scored two, Camden Ritchey one, Nicolas Gutierrez one, Nicolas Favoriti one, and JJ Furnace one. Of these many tries, Jackson Litts converted two more.
On two occasions the Green Jays fell asleep during a penalty call against Western, which allowed Lanier to score two unconverted tries. Lanier then scored a third try on a power run just to the right side of the Western defense to give them three tries altogether.
The Varsity and JV rugby teams play again next Thursday, February 16 at Regis. The JV team plays at 4:30pm and the Varsity team plays at 5:30pm.

Special Educational Needs and Disability Conference (Birmingham)
Of the 1.3 million pupils in England with special educational needs, 1.1 million are being taught in mainstream schools. Despite this, 82% of head teachers believe they do not have the resources to support SEN pupils.
Research shows that almost 90% of newly qualified teachers are not fully prepared to support children with complex learning needs. In response to this, the Government has pledged an overhaul of teacher training as the number of SEND pupils in mainstream classrooms looks set to increase. Meanwhile, special schools are facing the unprecedented challenge of catering for pupils with increasingly complex and varied needs despite ever decreasing resources.
The Special Educational Needs and Disability Conference will provide unique insights into how both mainstream and special schools can be better equipped to meet the challenges posed by these recent trends. The event will provide vital information and advice for parents, teachers and other public sector staff working to give SEND pupils the best possible school experience.

Juneau, AK (KINY) - The latest meeting of the Juneau Commission on Sustainability focused on composting success stories and practices.
To further build on the education of food security, the Juneau Commission on Sustainability brought folks together to talk about composting to improve soil quality in agriculture, as well as reducing waste.
A lot of the fears addressed by food security is the loss of the vital supply chains, of which Juneau is extremely dependant on. The experts at the panel say that there is an incredible opportunity to increase food production in the area, especially considering the average experience of local growers being about 14 years.
Composting is a practice that can take either lots of energy or nearly none at all, resulting in a usable product either way.
Lisa Daugherty of the Juneau Compost Processing Service told us about the steps involved in composting.
"First it involves collecting the materials you want to compost. You need a mixture of high nitrogen things and high carbon things and you mix them in a way that allows air to infiltrate and basically microbes will eat through the pile and cause it to change into a completely different product."
She also told us some of the uses of that product.
"You can use it as a soil amendment in your garden and so it's going to provide nitrogen, but it's going to be a little different than just applying nitrogen you might buy in powder or liquid form, because it has a slower release. So, you might apply it and it will give you nitrogen over years. You can also just mix it with sand and seaweed to make a growing medium."
We also talked to Michele Elfers, the CBJ Recycle Works Manager, about what programs are being used by the City of Juneau to increase sustainability.
"We have our Recycle Works program that involves recycling, junk vehicles, and household hazardous waste and then we have a branch that does some composting. One of our goals is to reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill."
Elfers also said that the city is looking a few ways to add in composting.
"We're looking at the feasibility of starting a municipal composting program and the idea behind that is that's one of the best types of recycling we have, because it's local processing, it stays in town, it doesn't have to get shipped out, and it becomes a beneficial reuse that can be used to grow food in our community."
The group is looking at ways to make a community centered effort for composting and to alleviate some of the fears that people in Juneau for have. Lots of folks worry about bears and the temperatures making composting difficult, but there are plenty of people composting successfully. Many of them are also eager to share their methods.

Drawing inspiration from humanity's fragile existence, as well as genre-defining bands like Black Sabbath, Kyuss, and Clutch, Dust Prophet is poised to take the stoner rock world by storm.
Hailing from Manchester, New Hampshire, Dust Prophet came together in 2018 as the project of longtime friends and musical collaborators Sarah Wappler (bass) and Otto Kinzel (guitar). Soon joined by fellow scene veterans Heather Lynn (vocals) and Marc Brennan (drums), the band shifted into high gear writing music.
They released their apocalyptic debut single The Big Lie in October 2018, putting them on the map with critics and listeners in the underground music scene. Recorded by Kinzel at his home studio, with post-production done by Massachusetts studios Amps vs. Ohms and New Alliance East, the song was spotlighted on The Obelisk as well as podcasts across the country.
With their next single Revolutionary Suicide coming out in January 2019 & premiering on Doomed & Stoned, Dust Prophet is on the fast track to notoriety -- if the world doesn't end first.

You can do wonderful issues with a guitar and a smartphone lately. Smartphones are like miniature computer systems. A smartphone utility can issue simple prompts to help with the inspection. As of the writing of this article, the iPhone does not have a camera lens with auto-focus but there may be an app that's optimized to learn the numeric UPC and EAN codes of retail products.
There are various methods to search out some free smartphone apps you enjoy. First discover an app on a web site that distributes free smartphone apps. At this step alone, barcode and smartphone know-how may be utilized with no further organizational disruption.
It's a good query to consider in relation to cell phone customers is for an replace. The truth is, most smartphones now even have LED flash so that the digital camera can be utilized even through the night. Any software or software declares its presence in the Smartphone and assures of performing all the things that a phone fails to do, and hence are hotter, while iPhone has captured the eye like by no means before.
This is among the most necessary know-how that should be in your cellular phone, the bluetooth headset permits the person to ship and receive information wirelessly. The components for consideration here are whether the smartphone digital camera supports autofocus and whether or not it has a macro lens.
Smartphones and cellular digital equipment, in reality, are at a a lot greater threat of being lost, broken or compromised than a networked pc. Mobile phones, tablets and notepads have important vulnerabilities. Now that cell digital gadgets are so powerful it is honest to recommend the harm that may be done by the lack of a mobile gadget can be simply as bad as by another means.

Ten.Three Hundred & Eight
1. He's always asking for something. I could learn to be more bold in my ask.
2. But I also want to pull away from all of this.
3. The old man is there today. Still in his blue sneakers but not as cheery as usual.
4. I unload all the bags and decide there is tie for a bike ride. In go headphones—Maroon 5, Songs About Jane—and on the bike I go.
5. So many dandelions. And on my way back home, the Heron.
6. I start to draw up the garden bed arrangement. I'm afraid I'm being too ambitious but decide that I said this is what I wanted to do and so I'm going to do it.
7. There is so much space and I intend to take it up.
8. He says that we really do need to move. That my brightness is so tied to the sun. And this is the version of me he likes best. The one that dances and sings in the kitchen.
9. Sparkling Rosé of Malbec.
10. Body is so tired. But the good kind of tired. There is more work to be done.

Research that Focuses on Behaviour in Adolescence Receives Funding
Posted on November 27, 2017
Dr. Michelle Jetha, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Cape Breton University, has been awarded $356,095 in funding for research which will create significant progress in understanding how teens cope with their emotional well-being and mental health. The funding, which comes from the Canadian Foundation of Innovation, the Nova Scotia Research and Innovation Trust, and Cape Breton University will help pay for equipment and renovations for the new Developmental Social Neuroscience Laboratory.
Dr. Jetha's research explores the origins of maladaptive internalizing and externalizing behaviours, such as anxiety and aggression or hyperactivity. The research puts a specific focus on neurological factors or bio-markers that may be contributing to this kind of behavior in developing teens.
"This research is an essential step towards understanding the emotional life of developing youth, which is critical for the development of strategies for prevention and treatment of maladaptive behaviour," says Dr. Jetha.
The tools needed for this research are electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiographic (ECG) equipment which will be used to measure brain and heart-rate activity while teens are engaging in challenging laboratory-based tasks that require attention and self-regulation for maximal performance. Advancements in technology have been emerging in recent years and has led to new understanding of adolescent brain development, with important implications for youth policies and adolescent mental health. The research that Dr. Jetha will be conducting will allow the CBU research community to take part in this advancement.
"The work being led by researchers at CBU have implications that reach far beyond the walls of our campus. The important work that Dr. Jetha is leading demonstrates the type of impact our researchers can have on society and shows the calibre of work that undergraduate students have an opportunity to participate in," says Dr. Tanya Brann-Barrett, Dean Research, Teaching and Graduate Studies.
This research will improve the public's understanding of adolescent brain development, vulnerability and resilience to mental disorder. It is relevant to educators, youth policy workers, and those who work in the criminal justice system. It will serve to inform treatment and prevention strategies for youth struggling in these settings.

Washington, DC, May 25, 2004
The USISTF invites submissions of applications for funding of projects to test and demonstrate an Integrated Security Management Systems Approach via pilot case studies. An integrated security management system should draw on elements derived from the current ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), BSI 18001 (occupational health and safety) standards and the new NFPA 1600 (disaster/emergency management and business continuity programs) standards. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model incorporating the 17 requirements in ISO 14001 is seen as a particularly relevant model in developing the integrated security management system.
The Foundation welcomes applications from both pilot locations, as well as technical experts who identify pilot sites within their project.
The USISTF is a Washington D.C.-based 501 (C)(3) non-profit foundation established by the U.S.-Israel Science and Technology Commission, a bi-lateral program funded by the governments of the United States and Israel.
RFA materials may be downloaded from the USISTF web site (http://www.usistf.org/04_A_RFPs.html). For questions about the RFA, please contact Dr. Marc Siegel, the RFA Program Manager at email@example.com.

"What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."
― Confucius
Following World War II the relevance of individual identity in art has been disregarded.
This blog intends to shed light on the continued expression of individuality by artists.
Karl Zerbe (1903 – 1972)
His technical excellence assured the survival of art and powerfully expressed the universal concern of our time, the loss of individual identity.
Karl Zerbe, Self Portrait with Clown, 1945. Encaustic, 19 1/2 x 15 1/4 inches.
Karl Zerbe, THE MASK OF HER FACE, 1948. Tempera on board, 20 x 25 3/4 inches.
Karl Zerbe, Cyprus II, 1955. Encaustic on board, 39 x 24 inches.
Balcomb Greene (1904 – 1990)
"I do not believe that art should be explicit," …. It should be suggestive and ambiguous so that the viewer has to enter in."
Balcomb Greene, Gertrude III, 1958. Oil on canvas, 62 1/4 x 50 inches.
Balcomb Greene, Two figures,1970. Oil on canvas, 56 x 46 inches.
Balcomb Greene, Shadows and Sea, 1970. Oil on canvas, 61 x 55 inches.
Albert Kotin (1907 – 1980)
During his participation in the movement of the "New York School action painting" his excellence was recognized by his fellow artists. Each work represented an individual identity and never the repetition of style.
"As long as there are people such as Al Kotin, there is no danger to art." – Alexander Calder
Albert Kotin, Untitled, 1954. Oil on canvas, 70 x 58 inches
Albert Kotin, Party IV, 1964. Oil on canvas, 36 x 30 inches.
Albert Kotin, Testigos, 1968, Quadriptych. Oil on canvas, 104 x 63 inches.
Albert Kotin, Modesty… The Scientist, 1968, Oil on canvas, 39 3/4 x 48 inches.
Ezio Martinelli (1913-1980)
"For myself I venerate all of that which I am forced to call , for the sake of clarity, the past, my own Western Heritage and the even older and brilliant past of the Far East and Near East and their multiple cultures. In this way I feel I pay homage to the Titan's, both anonymous and known."
Ezio Martinelli, Untitled, 1950. Oil on canvas, 79 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches.
Ezio Martinelli, Grief, 1951. Oil on canvas, 60 x 25 inches.
Leon Golub (1922 – 2004)
The ART news writer Amei Wallach once wrote: "Golub was a righteous monster who reconciled painting with the unpalatable realities of his time."
Leon Golub, The Orator IV, 1962. Oil on canvas, 37 x 30 3/4 inches
Robert Nathans (1955 – )
"I bring all my memories with me as I stand in front of my canvases. Here my intuition comes into play. It will sometimes take me months of working. Then, somewhere in this process of painting and observing. I would inextricably disappear. Unaware of body, time, and space when I become painting."
Robert Nathans, The Distractive Character, 1986. Oil on wood and tree stumps, 36 x 14 inches.
Anki King (1970 – )
"Emotions are the base of the work I make and I use paint and brushstrokes to express what I want to say, and the feeling I wish to convey. Painting to me is a collaborative process. Oil paint is a live medium and if you do something with it, it does something back that you again can respond to; it is a communication. Every work I create contains figures or figurative elements. I have always enjoyed the figure and I have a love relationship with it as form. It is also the most direct way I can convey my own experience and it is ultimately this experience I create out of."
Anki King, Broken Mannequin, 2002. Oil on canvas, 39 x 36 inches.
Anki King, Fall, 2012. Oil on canvas, 54 x 74 inches.
Kwangho Shin
KwangHo Shin's powerful paintings deal with emotional isolation in modern life. He uses large brush strokes of vibrant hues to display his subject's emotions as mask.
KwangHo Shin, Lucian Freud, 2014 Oil, acrylic and charcoal on canvas 76.34 51.3 inches
KwangHo Shin, Untitled #14P36, 2014 Oil, acrylic and charcoal on canvas 89.49 x 71.57 inches
I hope that the blog will generate interest in the expression of the preeminence of individuality rather then style in fine art.

On Friday 4th March 2016, 80 creative people and businesses gathered at the University of Bedfordshire, Bedford Campus for the 2016 instalment of the annual creative business conference. There was networking, local inspiration and advice around the subject of Growth.
Take a look at photographs of the event

Arabel Lebrusan, Bespoke and Limited Edition Jewels, Nila Holden, Artisan Cakes and Cookies and Velocity Business Adviser, Aruna Bhagwan took part in an afternoon Q&A panel focused on sharing individual founders' stories, practical growth advice and local business growth support. Songwriter, Kristine Wilkinson Hughes wrapped up the afternoon with personal words on the growth of a creative career and project, and entertained us with an inspired Song About Growth. Throughout the day Darren Rose and Martin Steers work together to capture images and audio of the insight and atmosphere from the creative people in the room.
Sole traders, freelancers and imaginative independent businesses of all kinds were encouraged to attend.
* 16 creative professionals from across Bedfordshire were involved in the production of the Creative Bedfordshire conference across host, speaker, design, photography, audio recording, social media, song writing and production support.
* The Conference took place for a second year at the University of Bedfordshire, Polhill, Bedford, with thanks to the support of Roisin Kendall, Access Partnership Manager on the Centre for Academic Partnerships Team
* Aruna Bhagwan, a Velocity business support advisor, attended the entire event and spoke as part of the afternoon Growth panel discussion and as a result is now delivering further Growth support to a number of attendees.
* As with our conference in 2015, in 2016 many new relationships were born of the day. The conference expands the profile of Bedfordshire as a creative place to live and work. There is evidence of people from outside the area and moving to the area noticing and using the conference as a source of information and integration.
