general questions
What do you do and where are you located?
Maris Kirs Photography specializes on photographing portraits and wedding in North Florida. I'm located in Ponte Vedra, Fl and traveling all around Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Amelia Island, Savannah, Jekyll Island, Palm Coast and beyond.
What's your style?
I would say it's bright & vibrant at the same time. Look around in my portfolio and you will find out exactly what I mean.
Do you charge travel expenses?
Travel expenses for portrait photography within 30 miles of 32081 will be covered with the package fee. Expenses for travel and accommodation for further afield will be added.
What camera do you use?
I use mostly Canon gear – I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV as main camera and Canon EOS 5D Mark III as a backup. Most of the times I bring both of my cameras to the session so I don't have to switch the lenses during the shoot. My favorite lens is probably Canon 70-200mm 2.8 but I also use Canon 50mm 1.2, Canon 100mm Macro and Canon 35mm. I use flash whenever needed as well.
Are you insured?
Yes, all my equipment is fully insured and I am covered by liability insurance as well.
Is there an additional fee if we pay via credit card?
Yes. The retail adjustment fee for all credit card transactions is 3% of the charged amount.
Can we see unedited images?
No. Every image I deliver is post produced with unique signature style of mine. I only show you the best images from the session and that means all the duplicates, unflattering poses and "eyes-closed" images will be deleted.
What do you mean by "touching up" the photos?
"Touching up" means basic editing and involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone-mapping, and other corrections.
wedding questions
What are your prices and packages?
I would love to discuss rates with you! My wedding packages start at $2200. The best way to view at my pricing is by clicking on the CONTACT ME button and emailing me some details about your plans! If I am available on your date, I would be more than happy to email you my rates for your location, as well as chat about putting together a custom package that suits exactly what your wedding requires.
I'm working on a budget, can I get a discount?
My packages have been carefully curated and priced according to their value, so the short answer is "No". However, no two weddings are alike and as such, I would love to create a custom package that suits exactly what you need!
Do you charge travel expenses?
Travel expenses for weddings within 75 miles of 32081 will be covered with the package fee. Expenses for travel and accommodation for further afield will be added.
Why do I have to provide a meal to you and your 2nd photographer at my wedding?
Basically, myself and my staff are able to work on a higher level for longer if we've been fed! We require meals to be provided for any coverage over five hours. If you choose not to provide a meal for us, we will take a one hour break at some point during your reception to have a meal.
What happens if we go over the contracted amount of time?
I understand that not everything goes as planned during a wedding. I never pack up before the contracted time; and moreover I'm not leaving on the dot when the contracted time is up. Instead, I will ask you at the end of your contracted time whether or not you would like to extend. If you would like me (and 2nd shooter) to stay, I will charge the rates specified in your contract rounded to the closest 30-minute increment.
If we cancel the wedding, will we receive our deposit back?
Unfortunately, no. Deposits are used to reserve your date. Once I've reserved your date, I do not accept new clients for your date.
If we change our wedding to a different date, will we be able to use our deposit towards a future date?
A: Generally no, but this is taken on a case by case basis. The reason for canceling and our availability is taken into account. Also, if rates change from your original date to your new date, the new rates will apply.
How many photographs will we receive?
That depends on the package you choose when booking a wedding. I don't set a maximum limit of images taken during the wedding day and will take in excess of 1500 photographs; these are then edited down to usually between 500-600 (for 8 hour wedding day) of the very best images of the day and from there you will be able to pick out your favorites.
When will we be able to see our photographs?
I aim to have the photographs available to view online within 4 weeks so they are ready to be viewed when you return from your honeymoon.
How do we reserve our wedding date?
Just EMAIL ME to let me know your date so I can check my availability. Once we select the best package for you, I will send you a contract to sign and instructions on how to pay the retainer. I can't hold any date for either a portrait or a wedding without both the retainer and contract completed. I can't wait to work with you!

Abstract: :
Purpose: To review the literature, contributing factors, prevention recommendations, and medical legal data regarding wrong-site eye surgery. Methods: We preformed a computer literature search assessing the published ophthalmic literature pertaining to wrong-site eye surgery. We reviewed medical and nursing society internet web sites and journals for materials and recommendations for prevention of wrong-site surgery. We obtained malpractice and liability data through personal communication with physican insurer consultants, and with the review of physician insurer and professional liability internet web sites. Results: To the best of our knowledge, wrong-site eye surgery has not been discussed in the published ophthalmic literature since 1947. Between 1995-2001, 10.4% of 1294 sentinel events reviewed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations were wrong site surgeries. The worlds largest malpractice database indicates 928 closed claims from wrong-site surgery from 1985-1997. Nineteen of these 928 claims occured in ophthalmology. Seventy-nine percent of wrong-site ophthalmology claims resulted in an indemnity payment, whereas 70-77% of overall closed ophthalmology claims result in no payment. Orthopedic surgery is the discipline with the highest number of wrong site surgery malpractice claims. Accordingly, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons created a campaign to increase awareness of prevention strategies. The American Academy of Ophthalmology internet web site has recently posted their first patient safety bulletin, entitled, "Eliminating Wrong Site Surgery". We will discuss the currently accepted contributing factors and prevention strategies suggested by these societies. Conclusion: Wrong-site eye surgery is rarely discussed in the ophthalmic literature. Implications of wrong-site eye surgery include high likelihood of indemnity payment, as well as deleterious effects to a patient's health and vision. These events can be avoided by implementation of prevention strategies in all surgical facilities.

CREW Calls on DOE Inspector General to Investigate Violations of Federal Records Law
WASHINGTON - Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) asked Department of Energy (DOE) Inspector General (IG) Gregory H. Friedman to investigate whether DOE employees are purposefully using private email accounts for official business in order to shield the contents from the public and avoid having these messages captured by the department's record keeping system.
A recent Washington Post article, based in part on documents obtained by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, detailed how DOE employees — including Jonathan Silver, the former head of DOE's clean-energy loan program — used non-government email addresses to discuss the program and other official business. Such conduct violates the Federal Records Act (FRA).
Read CREW's letter to Gregory H. Friedman
"Whether it is a Republican or Democratic administration, it seems top federal officials will go to great lengths to keep their actions hidden from public view," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. "Using private email accounts for government business violates the law. The IG should immediately investigate to determine the full extent of this practice."
The FRA requires agencies to make and preserve records of agency decisions, policies, and essential transactions, and to take steps to safeguard against the loss of agency records. If DOE employees use private email accounts to send official email and the department neither tracks nor stores these messages, the department would be in violation of the FRA. Additionally, the documents obtained by the House conflict with earlier congressional testimony by Mr. Silver, who previously stated neither he nor his staff had used private email accounts to attempt to hide program discussions.
"Complying with the Federal Records Act is not optional," continued Ms. Sloan. "In light of all the questions about DOE's loan program, it is important to know those responsible for doling out large taxpayer-funded loans have nothing to hide. These latest revelations about DOE increase public skepticism about a program already mired in controversy."
This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.
Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you. If you can help today—because every gift of every size matters—please do.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting ethics and accountability in government and public life by targeting government officials -- regardless of party affiliation -- who sacrifice the common good to special interests. CREW advances its mission using a combination of research, litigation and media outreach.

Magical thinking is an ancient idea that if a person hopes for something enough or performs the right actions, an event can be averted or turned around. Though this kind of thinking made no sense to me, I couldn't stop doing it in the first months and years after my son's suicide death. I didn't want to believe that my son was really gone – I didn't want to believe that it was true, that I would never see him, talk to him, or hold him again. Magical thinking was my way of hiding that reality from myself.
Joan Didion in her book The Year of Magical Thinking described her own magical thinking, particularly how she wouldn't give away her husband John Gregory Dunne's shoes after his sudden death of a heart attack because he would need them when he returned. And ever since Etan Patz went missing thirty-three years ago in the Soho district of New York City, his parents have never moved nor changed their phone number in hopes he might return or call. Perhaps this is because there has never been closure – Etan's body has not been found and no one has been convicted of his killing. However, it seems more like magical thinking to me.
I wrote about my magical thinking in my memoir. Even the title, Leaving the Hall Light On, refers to it. Our story was different for the Patz story because our son was declared dead by a coroner who examined his body, and we buried his ashes. But even though many of our friends and family encouraged us to move because his suicide took place in our home, I didn't want to move or change our phone number for fear Paul wouldn't know how to make his way back. I wanted him to know we were still here waiting for him.
For a long time, I waited for that familiar sound of his Volvo coming into the garage, the sound of the door from the garage slamming as he entered the house and went down the hall to his room, the sound of him walking around the house at night, the sound of the door opening and closing as he went in and out of the house. In fact, for a while I thought I heard those sounds. And for a long time I left most of the things in his room and closet alone for fear of removing his presence there, refusing to give away his things like Didion, in case he would need them.
Leaving the hall light on became another one of the things that helped me get through it. We left the hall light on for him when he was home, so I just couldn't break that routine. However, my husband Bob and I had a push-me, pull-you interaction about it. Bob always had a habit of turning off all the lights before he went to bed. Since he usually went to bed after me, I would wait until he got into bed. Then I'd get up and turn on the hall light again. Sometimes we'd go back and forth on this several times in one night. If he forgot his glass of water he'd get up and turn the light off again. If he needed a certain vitamin from the kitchen cabinet, he'd get up, go into the kitchen to get what he needed, and then go down and turn the light off again on his way back to bed. And, if I fell asleep before him, I'd wake in the middle of the night and go back down to turn the light on once more.
Once in a while I'd ask him to leave it on. If he asked why, I'd give him the lame excuse that I needed a light on to guide me through the house when I left to go to the gym in the early morning dark. Sometimes he'd buy that. Most of the time he'd forget and turn off the light.
However, only in the last two or three years, leaving the hall light on has become less and less important. That meant I was healing. It also meant that I had faced the reality that magical thinking and leaving the hall light on would not bring him back, so my magical thinking phase of my grieving process was over. We have also given away most of his things. However, we still haven't moved and changed our telephone number in the twelve years since our son's death – and we don't intend to.
About the Author: Madeline Sharples studied journalism in high school and college and wrote for the high school newspaper, but only started to fulfill her dream to work as a creative writer and journalist late in life. In the meantime she worked most of her professional life as a technical writer and editor, grant writer, and proposal manager. She sold real estate for ten years while her boys were growing up, and instead of creative writing, she took creative detours into drawing and painting, sewing, quilting, and needlepoint.
Her memoir, Leaving the Hall Light On: A Mother's Memoir of Living with Her Son's Bipolar Disorder and Surviving His Suicide, was released by Lucky Press LLC in 2011. It tells the steps she took in living with the loss of her oldest son, first and foremost that she chose to live and take care of herself as a woman, wife, mother, and writer. She hopes that her story will inspire others to find ways to survive their own tragic experiences.
She also co-authored Blue-Collar Women: Trailblazing Women Take on Men-Only Jobs (New Horizon Press, 1994), co-edited the poetry anthology, The Great American Poetry Show, Volumes 1 and 2, and wrote the poems for two photography books, The Emerging Goddess and Intimacy (Paul Blieden, photographer). Her poems have also appeared online and in print magazines. Madeline's articles also appear regularly in the Huffington Post, Naturally Savvy, PsychAlive, and Open to Hope. She also posts at her blogs, Choices and at Red Room.
She is currently writing an historical fiction book, but her main mission is raising awareness, educating, and erasing the stigma of mental illness and suicide, through her writing and volunteer work, in the hopes of saving lives.

We continue our reflection on the promises Jesus makes to his disciples concerning the gift of the Holy Spirit as found in the Gospel of St. John. We find the fourth promise in John 16:7b-11.
For if I do not go, the Paraclete will not come to you.
But if I go, I will send him to you.
And when he comes he will convict the world
in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation,
sin, because they do not believe in me;
righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;
condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
The verb 'to convict' is the central action of the Holy Spirit in this promise. "The Greek verb used here (elenchein) evokes the notion of establishing or revealing a fault, often in an unmistakably forensic context. Of the several possible nuances available, only one seems adequate to describe the Spirit's action here: he will afford convincing proof that the world is wrong and in sin" (Francis Martin, "The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me," 59-82, in The New Evangelization, ed. Steven Boguslawski, OP and Ralph Martin, 72).
The 'other Paraclete' will prove that the great sin is refusal to accept the revelation of God the Father offered in the person of Jesus Christ; that Jesus, not the religious leaders who condemned him, is truly righteous because he now exists in the presence of the Father; and, that Jesus' death on the cross was not his condemnation, but in fact the condemnation of the devil who is the prince of death.
The difficulty in this passage comes in understanding where the action of 'convicting' takes place. Will the Spirit convince the world of its error or does the Spirit act within the disciples to establish them in the truth of Jesus? "Basically, it must be the second. If the world were able to acknowledge its sin, it would no longer be the 'world,' that is, a place which, despite the fact that there is still room for freedom and choice, is nevertheless at its depths a 'demonic universe of refusal and rejection'" (Ibid.). So, the Spirit acts in the hearts and minds of believers in order to convince them of the truth of the gospel, especially in the face of their own weakness and the seduction of the world. "The Paraclete addresses itself only to believers: it is an interior illumination that happens in the hearts of believers" (Ignace de la Potterie, La Vérité dans Saint Jean, Tome I, 410).
Like the third promise, this fourth promise is directed at believers in the struggle they will face to hold to and grow deeper in their faith. Whether it is profound personal suffering, the allure of all that the world promises, intellectual challenges to faith, encountering ridicule for following the upside-down ethic of Christ, or the countless other ways faith is tested in this world, the Paraclete comes to the aid of the believer. The Spirit firmly inclines the heart and mind of the person of faith to see clearly that the only ultimate sin—and therefore separation from true life—is not believing and trusting in Christ. The Spirit shows to the eyes of faith that Jesus is gloriously victorious over the world and that the world's promises are ultimately illusory.
In brief, this promise assures us of the active presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the faithful, revealing "that ultimately love and sacrifice are more powerful than violence and death," that following Jesus' way of sacrificial giving of our lives to God the Father for the sake of others is the way to authentic liberty and life (Francis Martin, "The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me," 59-82, in The New Evangelization, ed. Steven Boguslawski, OP and Ralph Martin, 74)!

Let's face it, midlife or any time of life can come with struggles.
Everyday aches and pains, to high-intensity workout inflammation.
Sometimes we experience anxiety due to workloads or family pressures.
Then there are those times we feel like our mental awareness needs some sharpening.
I used to feel this way often after turning forty-five!
All of us want to support our general wellness right?
What if you could help all of these issues, and more with a delicious, all-natural, powder drink blend?
You can!

Hempower Nutrition Drink Blends:
I personally have tested each of the four available drink blends from Hempower over a 30 day period.
Each day I wrote down how I felt.
I noted a marked improvement in my mood, my ability to cope with stress factors, my sleep patterns, and overall wellbeing.
My daughter also has tested three of the blends as she is allergic to an ingredient in one of them.
Be sure you check the ingredients in each blend with your own allergies.
I love what Hempower has to offer and how it helps me daily.
Hempower Nutrition Powder Drink Blends:
Hempower RELIEF: with Turmeric and Boswellia – promotes a healthy response to pain & inflammation (natural mango flavor)
The relief blend is magical!
Since drinking it daily I have far less inflammation and pain in my shoulder
I have a bad tear but surgery is not an option for me.
This means basically, I suffer.
Before Hempower relief blend, I woke from sleep each time I moved.
As a tosser and turner, this was a huge issue to getting restful sleep.
We all know how important good sleep is!
I love the flavor too.
All of the Hempower drink powders taste good but this is one of my favorites.
I enjoy a glass each night about an hour before bedtime.
Hempower CALM: with Ashwagandha and L-Theanine – promotes a healthy response to stress and anxiety (natural cherry flavor)
I think we all experience stress daily.
For some stress and anxiety symptoms are worse.
My daughter sees many benefits from drinking the Calm Hempower drink powder.
Since my 30 day trial, I also reach for it often.
My daughter has at least one glass daily, in the morning.
She also has an extra glass on days her stress and anxiety are higher.
I drink it as needed.
That's another thing I love about Hempower…
You really do not have to drink it daily if you do not need it daily!
Unlike traditional medications which you must take regularly, you drink this as needed.
Hempower PROTECT: with Gotu Kola and Brahmi – promotes a healthy brain and neuroprotective response (natural mixed berry flavor)
This is another of my favorite flavors.
I also think for midlifers it is the most important blend to choose if you are only going to start with one.
At age 48 I often find my mental abilities not quite as sharp as they once were.
I find that Protect Hempower drink powder helps me with focus in my daily work.
It also has helped me with memory retention and keeping my mind sharp!
It's not just midlifers who can benefit though!
This blend can really come to the rescue if studying for an exam, or trying to memorize a speech.
I drink this one every day and will be ordering more soon!
Hempower BALANCE: with Maca and Reishi – promotes general wellness of body and mind (natural pomegranate flavor)
Everyone needs balance in their lives.
Hempower Balance drink powder helps us to enrich and maintain a healthy balance.
I am always saying that mind and body are connected so this blend is of importance to me.
To me, having a glass of this is no different than taking a multivitamin and I do both.
Anything I can do to keep my health in check, I will.
While not one of my personal favorite flavors, it's still good.
My daughter loves the pomegranate flavor.
This blend also has two of my favorite natural ingredients in it, Maca and Rishi.
Maca can aid in increased energy, stamina, improved blood circulation, increased mental abilities, and hormonal balance.
Reishi is known for it's anti-aging and anti-oxidant properties.
It helps to regulate immune function.
Why I Adore Hempower Nutrition:
Note: I did not go into all the ingredients in each blend but you should check them out!
I adore Hempower because it mixes ingredients I have used myself for decades.
Finding these ingredients can be time-consuming.
It can also be expensive since I personally can not source, and buy them in bulk!
Mixing them or using them in a way that makes sense with my busy life was a pain.
Hempower takes something I was already doing and makes it simple![clickToTweet tweet="Ease mind, body, and soul with an all-natural nature-derived drink blend. #health #wellbeing" quote="Ease mind, body, and soul with an all-natural nature-derived drink blend."]
The drink powders can be used many ways, not just in water.
I have made sparkling drinks with them, added them to oatmeal, and made smoothies.
Hempower can be on the go with you.
Toss it in a gym bag, keep in the drawer at your office, or on your nightstand.
My daughter and I have made "to go" packets of each blend so we can always have them with us.
I highly recommend Hempower to all my readers and want to share this special discount with you…

As we all know the legendary actor Kamal Haasan is currently busy shooting for Thoongavanam which is supposedly a thriller flick directed by his erstwhile assistant Rajesh.M.Selva. The second schedule of shooting of this film is progressing in a pub like set erected in ECR road.
Indiaglitz has gathered some interesting information from reliable source that has got access to the shooting spot. The source has said that at present a song is being shot in which Kamal and Trisha who is playing an important role in the flick are shaking legs together. Kamal is said to be sporting a long hair look in this song.
It is worth noting that the Kalaignani had sported long hair for his ambitious project Maruthanayagam which went on floors in 1995 and got shelved due to financial constraints. He had also retained the look for his critically acclaimed period flick Hey Ram that released in 1999.

3,5 Stars
3,5 Stars
I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the first half very much. But as soon as the main topic began to unfold I lost interest. I don't like kiss-and-tell-stories. And I was not aware that this book was that kind of book. I expected something else or maybe a different handling of the topic.
In the first half we meet Holly. We get to know her and learn about her problems. I liked reading the book although I was a bit annoyed by everybody telling her she was paranoid and a crazy drunk. But then the story turns into an action thriller. The exposure of the criminal doings of pharmaceutical companies became more important than telling a story. The author did a great job with her research and the topic is shocking and has to be revealed. But it did not work in this book for me. I don't know how I can explain it. But I think telling this story, revealing everything, became so important for the author that she missed to form it into a harmonic story.
I am sorry to say that the book did not work for me. It felt like something was missing. I liked the writing and the first half was very well composed. But then it turned into a kind of story I don't like to read. If I had known that I would not have requested it from NetGalley. But because this is just me and my personal taste I round it up to 4 stars.
I recieved an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Malacañang on Tuesday confirmed that National Youth Commission Chairperson Carina "Aiza" Seguerra has resigned from her post.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Office of the Executive Secretary has received Seguerra's resignation letter.
Roque said that although he has not yet spoken to the NYC chairperson, he said that her letter has already reached the President.
In a Facebook post, the former youth commission chair said Duterte has already accepted his resignation.
"I met with our dear President last March 5th to tender my resignation as NYC Chairperson. I coordinated with his office because I wanted to personally tell him my reason. Knowing how social media can exaggerate or twist the truth, I wanted to make sure that he's going to hear it from me. He was very understanding and supportive of my decision," Seguerra said.
Seguerra was appointed as NYC chairperson in August 2016.
She, together with her wife Film Development Council of the Philippines chairman Liza Diño-Seguerra, had campaigned for Duterte during the May 2016 national elections.
Seguerra has continuously pushed for Sangguniang Kabataan (youth) elections to push through noting that youth must be given a chance to have more representation in government. (PNA)

Hello Fellow Tripawd Friends,
Today is my surgery day…I am hoping that you can all send thoughts and prayers that my surgery to have my only existing rear leg surgically repaired is a success! This was me waiting to be lifted out of the car this morning at the vet hospital. Had I known my mom was going to leave me there I might not have been so excited. But my mom tells me that today is the first day of the rest of my life. She assures me that once my healing is done that I will be as good as new and ready to go on hikes with my pawbrothers and pawsisters. Thank you everyone for your love and support.

Hello~ sorry for the absence ^^ hahaha ..
I've been busy using the most of my short holiday recently and got lazy TAT;; anyway ..
for fellow ramen lovers , there is this one widespread ramen store which you must have tried ...
"Ajisen Ramen was found at Kumamoto, Japan in 1968. Currently Ajisen Ramen already have 400 plus chain in worldwide. Ajisen Ramen targeted to open 1000 and above food chain worldwide. Ajisen Ramen is "World Ramen", and the slogan of Ajisen is " 安心 ,安全 , 健康"." - [http://www.ajisen.com.sg/index.php/about-ajisen]
I had tried it once some time back, and it wasnt exactly great for the price. However, seeing that it has been featured on some posts as one of the top 10 ramen in Singapore,
I've decided to review it again :3
SO, I ordered
Cha Shu Ramen
Now, as for the taste test,
The Soup
The soup .....
is sadly nothing to rave about... :'(
it lacks the savory taste and richness that a good ramen soup usually offer.
The soup is pretty thin with a taste that is pretty shallow if you're used to what other ramen shops (eg: Keisuke, Santouka, Sanji, etc) have to offer :''(((

The Noodle
Its pretty decent , although seem a tad too soft/overcooked. Its of the consistency of hakata ramen but softer :3 However, having said that, the noodle is really nothing I'm particularly happy about either.
The cha shu meat
The cha shu is actually pretty decent :3 !!!
A little bit fatty although a bit on the tough side
The toppings
I find the combination of cabbage in this dish a tad weird :/ either that or it just doesnt agree with my palate. The ramen egg isnt a ramen egg either :/ its a fully boiled egg which is a tad overcooked at the whites especially ://
Since I'm ordering a set menu, included are :
which is good :3
if I have anything to say at all, it just taste more like Chinese-styled gyoza than the usual Japanese fare
and a glass of green tea
nothing to complain about the drink :P
So this is my experience at Ajisen :3
Convenient locations, but lacking in taste despite the pricings :((
Service is prompt although the waiters and waitresses are somehow not exactly friendly if you want to compare them with those at other ramen shops ^^"

The Reasons Why My Higher education Entry ways Essay Was the Toughest
Even though actually being unique and perusing my personal computer, I stumbled upon a directory tagged University Written documents. It had become a precious metal mine, if gold my own now will mean uncomfortable reminder of my preceding inadequacies and immaturity.navigate to this web-site There was about 25 files from undergrad: essays, explore records along with other points to let me know Ive advanced significantly in that publishing performance. Whoooo.
The most ancient record was the individual assertion I needed to write whenever i was signing up to university. I launched it and was horrified at how horrific it was actually. I actually facepalmed whereas viewing it. Compliments Elohim for high evaluation ratings because I may have been so simple.
After all, I needed appropriate grammar and syntax and that however the content was just a blunder. The truth is that Ive consistently bought As and whatnots in my written documents and The english language continues to be my strong complement. BUTВ I musta cobbled this at the same time the evening right before my program was scheduled. Procrastination has become among my techniques for a very long time.
Shamefully, I am going to display examples of the foolery I created to yall, and why this essay drawn much. 1. Being a medical professionsal continues to be my ambition. Provided that I can bear in mind, I have pictured myself personally wearing a vivid white clinical coat and scrubs, having a stethoscope draped in and around my throat.
Absolutely yes, 16 years old Luvvie. Due to the fact ALL being health practitioner is mostly about is putting on coats. Woman, youre so damb shallow. STAHP. Also, it is your opener? THIS WEAKNESS? Maam. Nope.
2. Originally, it actually was for the reason that our kids associates usually advised me how educated I found myself, understanding that I would mature to generally be a. Considering that I have matured, and still have come to be proficient at creating my very own ideals and guidelines, I nevertheless would wish to turned into a medical professionsal.
Ummmm sooooo I pointed out I thought about being the physician considering that Ive been great. Certainly. ME AND 6 BILLION Some People CAN Case Good! Chile check out this foolishment. And HOLY REDUNDANCY, BATMAN! Ideals and guidelines. I musta been tryna make your essay more time to make it sound much better. I choice I set in place the margins to this essay to 2 ins in the border far too.
3. My want is not going to warrant alone about what my family is certain, but given that I sincerely like to help people. I comprehend that I was able to guide people today by turning into a firefighter or even police official, however i will not assume that I possibly could compare thus to their brazenness, primarily in light of recently available traumatic activities. I really feel that I am just intended to be while in the health care industry.
9/11 previously had just taken place 2 periods previously I created this essay so Internet marketing primarily thinking Internet marketing a punk rock. I wanna guide individuals and therefore i chosen as being a health practitioner across a firefighter merely because I didnt wanna run across a burning off building up. In the event that aint some punk bitch shit. Partner UP, Teenage LUVVIE! Also, who explained to me these particular jobs ended up being your only means I could assistance folks? I was sheltered. I aint know no significantly better.
4. I have got not made the decision nonetheless, but disaster medical care is just about the health locations we am interested in. Actually, ER is one of my best television shows. Even if I are aware that the situations are imaginary, they seem to diamond ring genuine.
Teenage me is Formally on timeout. Even in the past I looked at way too much Television set. Who shows they wanna become a doctor caused by ER. That show shoulda taught me i always didnt wanna end up being a single except in cases where I have to be effective next to a heated health practitioner who resembles George Clooney. What sort of impressionable shit? No maam. Sit back.
5. The diseases the general practitioners manage and handle are true, and it also turns out to be an educational display. I praise the clinical doctors, and in what way they think fast, as well as on their toes. I appreciate observing them conserve those that have a order towards health professional or maybe a pressure with the torso. They could quite literally take in lifespan into a professional, bringing them form the brink of passing. It happens to be images like those who further reassure my pick to become a health care professional.
LOLLLLL WUT. В I do know doggone well I aint learn about NO illnesses on ER. I used to be boolsheeting like whoa. LIKE. WHOA. I honestly probably did my a good idea to promote them this ER-created goal. This is actually a very mess and Im uncomfortable.

It was 25-18 in the first quarter while the second quarter was tighter at 27-25 in favour of D'Tigers.

In the other quarter-final already decided, Morocco beat neighbours Egypt, 66-62.

I have lots of other projects I need to post about from the past week, but before I get around to that, I'll post some homework from the Color Intensive Class. This week we're working on neutrals. I'm trying to learn to love brown. It's slow going. I was born in the 70's – The Decade of Brown – and I think I've always thought it was old and dated and meant to be paired with Sunshine Yellow, Avocado, Burnt Orange and bellbottoms….
I think I like this combo better, but then again, not much brown:

Unger looks to public for support in redistricting fight
By KIMBERLY YAKOWSKI
SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia State Sen. John Unger spent Saturday afternoon explaining his opposition to the new map of legislative districts and asking the public whether he should take his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Unger made stops at Charles Town City Hall, Webber's Store on Mission Road and finally at the Shepherdstown Men's Club, where about 18 people gathered to listen to the senator.
Unger said a panel of three federal judges rejected his challenge to West Virginia's new map of legislative districts in December because of "legislative deference."
The judges found that although the Legislature made some questionable decisions in drawing district lines, the overall burden to meet constitutional requirements was met.

Bookish Advent Calendar - Day Seven!
Another picture book today. Slinky Malinki is a favourite of mine that I discovered as an adult. One of the joys of working with younger children is having a wealth of picture books at your disposal. Slinky Malinki is a troublesome cat who gets into all sorts of mischief. The use of language in this book is magnificent, and I've read it to children as young as two. They love the musical nature of the words. The storytelling is really imaginative, and the artwork is beautiful. Slinky Malinki looks as cheeky as he behaves.
Be sure to check out all of Lynley Dodd's other books, especially Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy, which I think I can still recite from memory.

Food Standards & Audits
The food industry works to strict legislation to ensure safety to the consumer. Certification to an accredited food management system, such as BRC, SALSA, and STS, illustrates that a company operates to a certain standard. There are a number of different food standards that are suitable for a range of different food and drink operators, depending on size and who they supply to. As such, many companies use standards to promote their business and to access new markets. In fact, many industry buyers insist that their suppliers are certified to their required standard.
The Forum understands the technical difficulties and operational challenges faced by businesses implementing a new standard. Our technical team has the expertise and experience of successfully supporting food businesses through the certification process as well as assisting with ongoing internal and external audits.
The Forum can help you with gaining the following food standards:
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) – is a legal requirement for all food and drink firms…whether they operate in manufacturing, catering or retail. It helps food business operators to focus on how they handle food and introduce procedures to ensure that food is safe to eat, it must be a written document
- Halal Verification – With approximately 3 million halal consumers in the UK, and millions abroad, the standard is an important one for slaughterhouses, food manufacturers and food service operators. Our Senior Technical Manager, Richard Wigley became one of the first auditors in the East Midlands region for the European Halal Development Agency standard in 2010.
- BRC Global Standards – are a major global safety and quality certification programme, used throughout the world by more than 17,000 certificated suppliers in 90 countries. Run by The British Retail Consortium (BRC), which is the lead trade association representing the whole range of retailers, they help to standardise quality, safety, operational criteria and manufacturers' fulfilment of legal obligations. Many retailers stipulate that producers must be BRC accredited in order to supply to them.
- STS – is a requirement to supply for some of the major UK food service organisations. Designed for smaller companies, the accreditation is also sought by procurers in the NHS and other public sector organisations such as schools.
- SALSA (Safe and Local Supplier Approval) – helps local and regional food and drink producers to supply their products to national and regional buyers. A nationally recognised food safety certification scheme, it's been specifically developed for small and micro producers.
Our membership provides discounts on our services although we are happy to negotiate where extended periods of support are required.The Forum's Technical Team can assist your business with ongoing support, such as with audits and developing policies and procedures, until you are comfortable with maintaining your preferred standard. Its support is perfect for SMEs that need to assistance on ad hoc or short term basis and for larger firms looking for an independent or stand-in resource.

1. Dates: January 13 to March 13, 2016
2. What: Egg elimination, 60 days.
3. Question: Are eggs an allergy or a sensitivity for me?
My past: I did 2 other egg free challenges, one close to 30 days and one 14 days prior to the 2016 challenge.
Why: I reintroduced, I may have had some GI issues (too slow!) that I wanted to ignore. Or not. Not sure.
Deeper Whys :
This year, one of my goals is to lean into the Wahl's Paleo Plus (currently I'm eating close to this template, modified with eggs) The WPP is strictly egg free, so I'd like to join my brothers and sisters in the Wahl's protocol more closely.
I don't have MS, but I have a parent who did for 25+ years. The WPP works great for my weight management. It also works great for my post Auto Immune Thyroid Disease (Hashimotos). The WPP is suspiciously close to the food template I found post weight loss.
My binge urge switch is off, off, off, and off some more when I eat Wahl's Paleo Plus. After 40 years of binge eating and 5+ years of food sobriety, the WPP is a great gift.
Current observations:
1. I've not had a great lower GI time since the 11/17/2015 gluten exposure. Taking probiotics now.
2. I'm laying off the fermented foods for now and most fish, and homemade bone broth, due to getting kicked out of being the histamine normal control (I'm a paid donor, missing my extra blood donation $$ ;) )
3. Same GI symptoms as when I reintroduced eggs immediately.(after 3+ years of normal, slow is not cool)
4. Joint pain on and off, there and there. Not sure if eggs are the reason. I would like to know. Could be the extra 5 pounds I'm attempting to lose? And, as you know, losing weight close to goal is slooooooow for many.
5. Sinus swelling/allgery Symptoms- I have some of those. Ready to get back to histamine normal. $$ :)
What am I eating for breakfast:
A. Chicken thighs with mole sauce
B. Ground lamb with shallots, garlic, and mint
C. Chicken thighs with curry soup, lime and cilantro
D. Chicken thighs with guacamole and garlic sea salt.
D. Left overs from last night (grass fed beef) with fewer veggies
That's the scoop. I'm only on day 4, and because I got used to being egg free two other times, I'm finding this egg elimination mentally easy.
Once you do elimination diets for your health, it's just a matter of pulling up your big girl pants and getting your challenge done.
What didn't work in the past
1. Gluten and dairy and low fat caused me to have massive GI issues in the other direction- too fast and massive GI upset- lower and upper.
2-5 Gluten and dairy caused a lot of GERD and I took proton pump inhibitors for awhile. Oh, and the joint pain was massive. I was in tears at the end of the day just looking at the stairs in my townhouse.
Moderating ALL the foods. That did not work for my binge eating and kept me hooked into food addiction.
Are any of my blogging friends egg free?
|Chicken thighs with avocado and garlic sea salt = egg free breakfast

This Article by Ross Davidson appeared in the Business Section of the P&J on 21 December 2011.
Despite being warned he "must be stupid" to start his own business, James Paton had faith in what ADIL could achieve.
The oil and gas consultant's managing director established the firm in 2006 and has spent the past five years proving his doubters wrong.
Aberdeen-based ADIL (Asset Developments and Improvement Limited) has increase its workforce from 30-100 in the past year, having launched with five founding members.
Turnover is expected to be £11.5 million this year, up from £4.5 million in 2009, and in the past two years alone the company has won contracts worth more than £15million.
The deals secured cover various projects in the UK continental shelf, including subsea tiebacks and greenfield development west of Shetland.
For Mr Paton, the company's success is the reward for the risk he took when he left his post as a development and production manager at Paladin Resources.
With his fellow directors, the 41-year-old invested his own money in the business without any financial backing from other sources.
He said: "I had a lot of confidence that we could create a reasonably successful business.
"I saw smaller oil companies were emerging in considerable numbers and their shortage of resources meant we could provide project management services to multiple clients and give them an efficient solution.
"Before we started up I spoke to around five chief executives of small oil companies and they gave tremendous advice about what could or could not work.
"Some of those people I spoke to became our first clients, so I feel incredibly indebted to them."
Despite managing fields with as associated capital investment of over £1billion, Mr Paton said he was still considering ways for ADIL to grow.
The business already has staff supporting projects in the Netherlands, Romania, China and Middle East plus an office in London, but Mr Paton said the company would expand its geographical reach by adding bases in new locations such as Australia. ADIL is also considering a move to the offshore renewables market and has decided to sponsor Elgin student Cara Heller who is studying for an MSc in renewable energy at Aberdeen University, after recognising a skill shortage in the industry.
Mr Paton said: "The work we have done has indicated we can transfer our skills from oil and gas to renewables.
"We will have to keep an eye on the cost base because… they are probably at the high-end of what renewables companies will accept, but our experience in operations management will be particularly relevant for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy and we intend to progress into that industry over the next year or so."
ADIL has also put forward a plan to avoid the prospect of marginal fields being lost to future production.
It involves groups of acreage owners working together to share facilities, for which they would pay a tariff and would be funded and built by an independent third party. Mr Paton said "It is a substantial undertaking for a company of our size but it is something we feel needs to be dealt with in the North Sea."
He was born and brought up in the north-east and was a pupil at Cults Academy before studying at Aberdeen University.
His childhood was spent on his uncle's farm near Netherley, which he described as "a wonderful experience."
His first job was helping out around the farm, which was rewarded in an unusual way.
Mr Paton said: "I worked for my uncle for about three years feeding cattle and so on. He was very generous and at the end of my time working for him he took me into one of the cattle sheds, pointed to one of the cows and said it was mine.
I still have the money from the sale of the cow in a building society savings account; it taught me a lot about waiting for the real value of things."
Mr Paton now lives at Chapel of Garioch, in Aberdeenshire, with wife Debbie and four children: Lewis, 12, Jennifer 11, Evie, age three, and two-year-old Cameron.
He worked for Hess for more than 10 years before joining Paladin, so he knows the difference between working for the industry's biggest companies and some of its newest players. Despite ADIL's recruitment drive in recent months, the managing director said working for the consultancy was still very different to life at an established international oil and gas firm.
He added: "It is quite humbling that people who worked for major oil companies are now joining a consultancy of 100 people, mainly because they believe in what we are trying to do and the values of the company."
Mr Paton also stressed the importance of ADIL's values to the future success of the business. He said: "I am proud of what the guys here have achieved in the past five years and what we have achieved collectively.
"The values of the company are quite incredible and this is what will allow us to grow. Whether ADIL was a financial success or not was not important.
"The most important thing to me was strong values and a fantastic team in support of what we are doing.
"If you get those things right the financial side falls into place.
"I was told I had to be stupid to set up my own business and I have felt at various times that was a pretty wise statement, but I have kept faith in the company and kept pushing on.
"I am proud of the business's organic growth and where it is today."

"There has never been a president taking his first worldwide trip being dogged by scandal like this", said Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
During his trip, Trump will also reportedly announce a $100 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, which has come under criticism for killing civilians in the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
Mr Trump benefits by bringing about a more "fair" deal; he has claimed several times that North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is unfair to the U.S. because of the amount of contributions and support provided by the United States compared to countries like Germany.
Robert Satloff is head of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
The agreement, between the U.S. under former president Barack Obama, five other world powers, and Tehran, was viewed with suspicion by Riyadh.
"We are witnessing now a change in the tone, change in policy" from Trump, he said.
The idea of an Arab Nato is not new. "Trump wants to undo all that". Mr. President, you will discover that Riyadh is a loyal and independent ally and is the only one who knows all the keys to wisely and moderately solving [the crises in the region]. During the 2016 election campaign, Trump made critical comments about Muslims.
In Israel, Trump will meet with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, looking to smooth over fresh tensions.
"Welcome to the White House overseas", said Ari Fleischer, President George W. Bush's former press secretary.
In Brussels, the USA leader will meet with counterparts from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. He says "expectations are low".
Trump declared Thursday that he's the subject of the "greatest witch hunt" in political history after former FBI Director Robert Mueller was named special counsel to oversee the investigation into the Trump team's ties to Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, the news report highlighted the drawing up of tight security plans to host the leaders. Trump has called it "an ideology that uses a perverted interpretation of religion to justify crimes against all humanity".
"He'll talk about what unites us in uplifting terms, but he'll also be very blunt in talking about the need to confront extremism and the fact that many in the Muslim world have not only not done enough, they've actively abetted this extremism", the senior administration official said. They anxious about Obama's attempts to improve relations with Iran, a country they blame for much of the trouble in the Middle East.
"The president also looks forward to participate in a Twitter forum" in Saudi Arabia, according to his national security advisor.
Donald Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia will reinforce the "strategic partnership" between Saudi Arabia and the USA while boosting their joint fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, the kingdom's foreign minister has said.
Trump leaves Friday on his ambitious nine-day jaunt. Riyadh is the first stop of his foreign tour. "He will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and say a prayer at the Western Wall", McMaster said.
Turki Aldakhil, who runs the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news channel, wrote that Trump's visit restores "what Obama ruined".
VOA White House Correspondent Peter Heinlein reported this story.

We are gathering Learning Resources at present. The Transition Town approach includes "reskilling" for example, and several Steering Committe members have attended Transition training courses.
A Little Bit of History…
(courtesy of Wikipedia)
"Transition Towns (also known as Transition network or Transition Movement) is a movement that was created by Louise Rooney and popularised by Rob Hopkins. It was founded in Kinsale, Ireland and was then spread to Totnes, England by environmentalist Rob Hopkins during 2005 and 2006. The aim of the project is to equip communities for the dual challenges of climate change and peak oil. The movement currently has member communities in a number of countries worldwide."
The Transition Handbook
Rob Hopkins has published the defining Handbook. We can't really say it any better than that. The Steering Group are using the handbook to help get things going. The Handbook also includes excellent chapters on Climate Change and Peak Oil.
Transition Culture
Rob Hopkins Blog which "explores the emerging transition model in its many manifestations"… and alot more besides that.

We are in desperate need of donations here at E61, the storeroom is looking very empty!!!
In addition to the usual "through the door" method of taking donations, we're also looking for people to help us with the "Donate Don't Dump" method.
How does D-Day work?
On a designated day, a business will host a donations drive. Staff will be encouraged to bring in to work one good quality item they no longer want or need, which will be given to a waiting charity representative. These goods can then be sold through charity shops to raise money for charities. In the current economic climate, some shops have found they are running out of stock as people are more likely to buy than to give; this is an easy and fun way of getting more donations into stores, where they can be sold for maximum profit.
Why should people only bring in one thing?
There are three reasons why this is a good idea:
* It is easier for someone to carry only one piece of clothing, record or book into work than to carry a bag full. This means people are more likely to do it.
* People can choose the one best thing to give away. Donations are often of better quality if they are picked out in this way.
* A lot of people bringing in one good quality item means a lot of donations. Of course, people can bring in more donations if they want to!
If you can help in any way, please email, call - 01223 312802, or pop into the store and see us.
