Officer Who Socialized With Murder Suspect Loses Benefits
Court of Appeal Finds No POBRA Violation
By a MetNews Staff Writer
A former Oxnard police officer who was engaged in an intimate relationship with a woman he knew to be a murder suspect was justifiably denied non-monetary retirement benefits such as carrying an ex-officer's badge and a concealed weapon, the Court of Appeal for this district held yesterday.
The appellant, Thomas Chronister, retired from his position as a commander on July 1, 2012, three days after he was questioned at the Oxnard station by Santa Monica police officers who wanted to ascertain what he knew about his girlfriend's possible involvement in a slaying. He had been with the force for 29 years.
The girlfriend, Kelly Soo Park, had been indicted for the 2008 murder of an aspiring actress, Juliana Redding, and was free on bail. A condition of her release was that she wear an ankle monitor.
She frequently visited Chronister at the police station and went on unauthorized ride-a-longs. Their relationship was in violation of a department policy which provided:
"Except as required in the performance of official duties or, in the case of immediate relatives, employees shall not develop or maintain personal or financial relationships with any individual they know or reasonably should know is under criminal investigation."
Chronister and Park were wed in November 2012, according to an article in the Ventura County Star. In June 2013, Park was found not guilty, after a jury trial, Yegan's opinion said.
In May 2013, Chronister brought suit in Ventura Superior Court alleging violations of the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act ("POBRA"), as well as breaches of internal policies, rules, and regulations, and denial of his federal civil rights. He sought injunctive relief and damages.
His appeal from a judgment in favor of the city, its former police chief, and its former city manager was rebuffed in an unpublished opinion by Justice Kenneth Yegan of Div. Six.
POBRA Provision
The appeals court rejected Chronister's contention that the interrogation of him was in contravention of his rights under POBRA. A provision of the act sets forth conditions that must be met "[w]hen any public safety officer is under investigation and subjected to interrogation by his or her commanding officer, or any other member of the employing public safety department, that could lead to punitive action...."
But, he wasn't interrogated by his department, the opinion said, noting:
"He was interrogated by investigators from the Santa Monica Police Department."
A commander in the Oxnard Police Department was present during questioning, but remained silent, the opinion pointed out.
It also said Chronister is wrong in contending that POBRA was violated by denying him an administrative appeal of the punitive action taken against him. Such an appeal, the court said, is available only where action is taken that can lead to an officer's "dismissal, demotion," or "reduction in salary."
Voluntary Retirement
Yegan wrote that before the defendants could take such action, "appellant voluntarily retired," elaborating:
"Immediately after the June 28, 2012 interview, appellant was placed on administrative leave, which meant that he was suspended with pay. But the suspension was rendered moot by his retirement three days later."
He said the denial of a retirement badge, a concealed weapons permit, and opportunity to buy his service weapon "did not qualify as 'punitive action.'"
Chronister was not entitled to those benefits by an internal policy, the opinion continued.
Other contentions were also rejected.
The case is Chronister v. City of Oxnard, B267929.

In Croatia , there are four out of seven universities that offer a medical diploma, the University of Zagreb (affords medical research in English), University of Rijeka , University of Split (additionally presents medical studies in English), and the University of Osijek The Medical schools are a schools of those four universities. Medical colleges usually admit more college students into undergraduate programmes than into graduate entry programmes. Of the 7,139 people who applied for admission to Harvard Medical School, 86.5% (6,178 people) have been residents of a state aside from Massachusetts once they applied. Harvard Medical School receives $1.17 billion in direct analysis grants and contracts from the federal authorities. Medical students are usually considered to be at the earliest stage of the medical profession pathway.
It can also be essential to notice the emotional effectively-being of the students and the general atmosphere of the varsity so you possibly can determine whether it's best for you. The system of Medical schooling in Panama often takes college students from highschool instantly into Medical School for a 6-year course, typically with a two years internship.

Additionally, 383 college students (54%) obtained some form of scholarship from the medical school.
After medical school, Myanmar medical graduates are underneath contract to spend one yr of internship and three years of tenure in rural areas earlier than they're eligible for many residency positions.

New "Customized Breaks" Feature
The latest release of our business scheduling software brought numerous patches, updates and feature enhancements.
One of the most exciting ones is a new Breaks System. It was designed to improve the customization level that can be made for each shift, ensuring much more flexibility for employee schedule management.
In order to make the process of transition from the old Break Rules system to the new custom one smooth, we decided to keep both features fully functional.
1. This practically means that you can choose any of these two options and use them as you need them. For example, if you need to create a simple break that applies to all your employee shifts at once, you can continue using our Break Rules.
2. On the other hand, if you need more flexibility with breaks of different length or with the ones starting at different times for each member of your team, then you'll simply love our new custom break system.
This enhancement now allows you to create up to two unpaid custom breaks while creating the shift directly in the shift creation popup.
As you can see from the screenshot above, the procedure is very simple and intuitive. When you define the shift start time, end time, position and employee (if needed), you can also choose to add one or two unpaid breaks for that specific shift. It's that simple!
No more hassle with organizing your employees' breaks in order to maintain the shift coverage. You can now simply define those custom breaks on the schedule and use your free time leftover for other duties. Your employees will be able to see those breaks on their schedule and will know exactly when their break starts and ends.
If you wish to use any of our built-in functionalities, like the template system or "Copy To Next Week" feature, or any of our repeating patterns, you don't need to worry about breaks either. Whichever action you perform on the break (save it as a template, copy it to next week, etc.), the break will be saved or copied along.

Wendell Willkie (1892-1944), a vociferous critic of the New Deal, ran as a dark-horse Republican candidate for president against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940, and earned a respectable 45% of the popular vote. I seem to remember than Ayn Rand worked on his campaign, but later became disillusioned with him. (I don't see him mentioned in the index to her Letters or Journal – if you know a reference for this, please email me.)
Two years after his 1940 defeat, Willkie flew around the world in a military bomber visiting dozens of countries in 49 days. He reported on the trip in One World, an argument (according to the American National Biography) against imperialism and colonialism, in which he mentioned that when a Russian woman cooked him a meal in her farmhouse, he felt just like he did back home in Indiana. ... Which Indiana would that be?

How did I sustain my intensive traveling without stress?
How did I sustain my intensive traveling without stress?
I visited seven countries, went through so many time zones
Arrived in DC from India in the evening, next day was at the summit, did not come home until 11.45 in the night.
The following day left home at 6.30 am to be at the summit by 7.30.
I went to New York, Maryland and today in Virginia.
Do you think it is enough for someone to be stressed, or exhausted, or agitated or short tempered?
Most people told me Yes.
I said, no stress, calm, content, not exhausted. Am I insane?
This is what someone told me. I responded, it is my lifestyle that I want to share. I am not interested in telling people what to do. We all have to find our own spirituality and our purpose that we all are here –JUST TO SERVE!!
This is what I did to sustain my emotional, physical and mental and spiritual balance:
I arrived at the airports very early. I use VIP launches to set do my work, meditate, shower and relax.
I arrive at the gate 20 minutes before the boarding time.
I practice Qigong in the morning no matter how early I need to depart for the airport. I can meditate for 6 to 8 hours easily the airplanes. I eat healthy I ordered Vegan food and it was very good. Consume a lot of water and stretched.
I am never in rush to get out of the plane. I take my time and go easy.
At the baggage claim I never stand and keep watching the luggage keep passing by. I think it makes my eyes tired. I sit and close my eyes and meditate.
These were statements the airline staff or passengers made for me:
Gosh you look so fresh!!
You skin is glowing, what do you use?
You look so happy
You look positive
You look healthy
I wish I look like you
I wish I feel like
Traveled 32 hours and you don't have a jet lack? Oh, no, it is hard to believe but you look fresh.
Upon arrival I continue breathing in the taxi while looking out. When there is lot of traffic I close my eyes and take myself through meditation.
When I arrive at my destination I do five ten minutes of Qigong, shower eat and just relax.
I increased my Qigong practice twice to three times a day.
I have learned to live in a state of mediation where I keep my body, mind, soul and my heart in harmony.
This lifestyle keeps me to stay in the present moment. I met a lot of high officials on my trips and I see them JUST as energy. I address to them as my brothers and sisters.
If it is time for me to sleep, I will sleep I don't think about the last country.
All these formal letter people people write to these officials have no heart in it. I write from my heart as they are just energy and nothing else. Heart to heart contact has stronger bond.
My whole success comes from being present and I value everyone that I come in contact with including the gate keepers.
Those of you reading my post right now, because you supposed to and you are part of my life puzzle. I value and love you.
I am a good student who is lives outside and box, just eager to learn and trying my best to stay and live with gratitude and humbleness.

If one asks physicians of various ages the same question—"what defines 'academic medicine'?"—a spectrum of answers would be expected. Baby-boomers (born between 1946 & 1964) probably would frame their answers around the traditional "triple-threat" paradigm that was in place when most of them trained as house-officers. That is, concomitant excellence in clinical practice, teaching, and research—with a substantial number of peer-reviewed publications—was the model in existence during their residencies and fellowships (1). At the pinnacle of academic medicine in the 1960s and early 1970s, extramural grant funds were still plenteous, and medical school faculties could afford to support many "teaching" staff members at all academic ranks, even though some of them did not actually teach (2). Faculties at that time comprised a mixture of "pre-boomers" with conservative values that were developed during the Depression-era and World War II or the Korean War, together with young boomers who had been influenced by the enthusiasm and vigor of the John F. Kennedy presidency. President Kennedy's famous inaugural address, in which he said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country (3)," was an important message for boomers. They also had benefited from the increased public educational emphasis on Science in the post-Sputnik 1950s (4), and those factors conflated to create an enthusiasm—if not almost a religious fervor—for scientific and medical achievement.
That scenario began to change 20 years ago, with the proposals on health care reform that were advanced by President William J. Clinton and his wife, Hillary (5). They essentially advocated a "leaner and meaner" healthcare system, including the academic portion of it, and serious concerns arose over the continuing governmental funding of medical research. Hence, for MDs born between 1965 & 1979, representing "Generation-X" (GX), their training environment took on more uncertainty and an ever-greater emphasis on fiscal tightening. When other social factors of that group are considered, such as the increased number of single divorced parents who raised them, the after-effects of the Vietnam War, and the scandal of Watergate, it can well be understood that GXers developed a more jaundiced view of the world and their place in it (6). Those who entered Medicine did so with different goals and expectations that those of boomers, and they were much less likely to march pro forma to the same professional tunes. Loyalty to superiors, employers, and institutions was a definite casualty of that change, and the meaning of academic tenure was seriously questioned as GXers repetitively moved to greener vocational pastures. Because academic medicine in general was struggling to remain financially-solvent, a definite exodus into the private sector by university-based physicians in GX was observed in the late 1990s, which continues to this day. For many of those people, the attitudes of boomers are regarded as outmoded and obstructionist, partly because the common reluctance of boomers to retire appears to stifle possibilities for advancement on the part of GXers. Moreover, the concept of "professional duty" often differs considerably between members of those two groups. Another consideration is that GXers went to college and medical school at a time when tuitions were rising explosively, producing large loan-balances that had to be paid after finally entering practice (7).
Enter the latest generation that is now seen among medical students, house officers, and young staff physicians—the "millennials," or "Generation-Y" (GY) (8). They are a complex and interesting group, who, in some ways, seem to be an illustration of the Strauss-Howe generational theory (9). That model holds that generational attributes are cyclic through time, and that after the "skip" of a generation or two, people will again adopt many of the values of their predecessors. Accordingly, GYers appear to again value the concept of devotion to vocation, and they are better attuned than GXers to institutional loyalty and professional achievement for its own sake. Nonetheless, there are some important differences as well. Millenials tend to stress "life-balance," and may well opt for more leisure time instead of more salary, as would GXers. Perhaps because of their marked technocentricity—with expertise in all things digital and electronic—GYers have little patience or use for memorization and traditional modes of problem-solving. They like to attack problems in groups rather than individually, using all the benefits and immediacy that the internet and personal data-assistants have to offer. Perhaps because of the concreteness to this approach, millennials also prefer that their professional goals, tasks, and responsibilities be defined expressly. It is not unusual to hear "what do I need to learn?" or "precisely what are my duties?", or "what, exactly, are my work-hours?" in that context. For boomers and even for many GXers, this attitude can be mistaken as that of intellectual and occupational slackers. Instead, it is merely an expression of the dependence on social media-like interactions, and the hyper-focus in problem-solving, that are unique to GY (10).
How does all of this relate to academic medicine, and, more specifically, to academic pathology? Along with all other medical specialties in university-based medical centers, academic pathologists are seeing that their roles in Medicine are less and less different than those of private-sector practitioners (11). And yet, junior faculty members are still expected to be "triple threats." It is tremendously more difficult to perform translational research now, as compared with 30 years ago, because of the draconian elements of the HIPAA regulations and tight constraints on non-grant-funded work. Service loads have also increased in academics, to the point where they exceed those of individual community pathologists at some centers (12). That factor compromises educational activities, because people simply do not have the time to teach. Salaries in academic pathology have indeed improved over time, but they are still less than those of private practice, when adjusted for "time in rank." For GYers, who regard their personal time as precious and have large loans to pay off, this constellation of descriptors has become virtually untenable. Many junior faculty members in academic departments are willing to spend 3 to 5 years at universities, but then they commonly trade-up to better situations in the community after academic work experience.
At a national level, this situation has a definite impact on continuing medical education in pathology. The damping-down of formal publications in our specialty has made it increasingly difficult to identify those with rising talent in academics, who can be called upon to speak at professional meetings, serve on society committees, and review papers that are submitted to professional journals. Hence, the same aging persons—many of whom are now over 55 years old—are still asked again and again to do those tasks (13).
This essay should not imply that the only excellent practitioners reside in academic centers, because the community has very many of them in its ranks as well. However, the same problems attach to them, with regard to the roles I have just mentioned. How can they be found and vetted? There is no easy answer to that question, aside from word-of-mouth recommendations.
Pathology as a whole needs to develop a systematic program of professional succession planning, and we need to do it now. This task should be embraced by our specialty societies and actualized, not merely discussed. Our responsibility as individuals is to make certain that happens.

Student loan debt has now reached $1 billion, and the situation has gotten so bad that there are Americans who are having their Social Security checks garnished to pay off outstanding loan debt. Meanwhile, recent graduates sit in a precarious position of underemployment, combined with doubling rates and rising monthly bills as their loans are sold from one lender to another. It's clear that we've reached a crisis point. But what got us here?
There are several places where we can lay blame: colleges, for becoming so expensive and ignorant of student finance, the government, for restrictive policies and inflating prices with student aid, private lenders with predatory tactics, and even students for allowing themselves to get in too deep. The fault lies not with just one, but all of these student loan villains, who have all done their part to bring us to a very real point of trouble. Read on to learn in detail how each of these groups has played a role in the destruction of student loans.
Although students, Congress, and banks are catching a lot of flack for the student loan crisis, many are pointing out that the high cost of college that creates the need for so many mind-blowing loan bills is the real problem. Cato Institute research shows it costs just $8,000 a year to educate an undergrad at the average residential college, while most students pay double that: $16,000 at public universities and $37,000 at private ones. What's making up this major discrepancy? Multimillion dollar sports programs, glowing recreational facilities, excessive administration, and tenured faculty who may or may not actually be teaching are the most likely culprits. It seems that colleges can raise their prices because they know they'll get paid one way or another, whether it's through grants, scholarships, loans, government contributions, or endowments. Colleges raise tuition, get more aid, and raise tuition again in a vicious cycle that is not at all beneficial to students.
Financial aid offices
Whether the heart of the problem lies with price of education or not, it seems that colleges aren't doing a whole lot to make student loans a responsible process. Financial aid offices aren't known as places that will gently point out to students that perhaps they've gotten in over their heads, even though they often have a full picture of just how bad a student's financial situation has become. Financial aid offices are in a great place to assess the financial situations of students and give them a reality check before they get in too deep. But it sure doesn't seem like colleges want to do that. Some, like NYU's VP of Enrollment Randall Deike, believe that it would be "completely inappropriate" for universities to take on such a role, as "some families will do whatever it takes for their son or daughter to be not just at N.Y.U., but any first-choice college." Others may be hesitant to point out the problem, as it will likely send students to a different, cheaper college and push down enrollment numbers. U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tom Harkin are working on a solution to this problem, introducing a bill to require that colleges offer counseling to students who are seeking private student loans.
The federal government
Government intervention into student finance has been well-intentioned, but produced disastrous results. US News and World Report points out that the federal goals of making a college education within reach, while requiring that debts ultimately be repaid certainly seem reasonable and noble, but have not exactly worked out as planned. Where there was once a $2,500 annual limit on federal student loans, there's now a $31,000 limit for four years. As the federal government pumps out more financial aid to help students afford college, colleges find that they can charge more for tuition, making education less affordable. And just about everyone can take out a student loan, giving colleges no incentive to keep costs down while students continue to rack up five-figure loan bills just to get a four-year degree. Even if students declare bankruptcy in the future their student loan debt lives on, as the government has deemed that student loans are not dischargeable. Beginning in 2014, student loan forgiveness laws will go into effect, capping federal loan payments at 10% of a student's income, and forgiven after 15 years. This is excellent news for the future, but it doesn't do a whole lot to help out those who are struggling today. Loans can be deferred, but ultimately, they must be paid.
The government isn't the only one handing out student loans like candy. Once students reach the limit on what they can borrow through federal student loans, they can turn to private lenders with much less favorable terms, but the same non-dischargeable debt. This fills the gap between what the government will provide, and what students need to actually pay for school, but it's a dangerous situation to be in.nStudents with private loans are often subject to having their loans sold and terms changed, which can alter their loan payments by hundreds of dollars per month. These loans are convenient for students who need them to get through school, but their existence is highly problematic. Lenders like Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo have been accused of making subprime loans to student borrowers, not taking into consideration the risks behind these loans. They've given money to students attending schools with low graduation rates, students who may or may not actually finish school, get a job, and have the means to pay back their student loan. What happens then? They just sell off the debt, or, get a government bailout to cover the losses. The five biggest private student loan lenders have made profits reaching well into the billions, but at the same time, were able to get a $112 billion bailout from the government for loans that could no longer be sold.
Students and their families
We hate to blame the victims, but we have to ask: what exactly did students think they were getting into? Why didn't parents save? Many programs exist. Obviously, many students feel that they don't have a choice, and student loans, even subprime ones, often mean the difference between getting a college degree and not going to school at all (or worse, dropping out halfway). With big plans to get a great job after graduation, we're sure that most students feel confident that they'll be able to pay their student loan bills off without a whole lot of trouble. But why aren't students more wary of taking on so much debt, especially with poor job prospects? We have to point out that there are often situations in which students could have acted more responsibly, and must bear some of the blame for our unfortunate student loan situation. It is possible to graduate college without debt, even if your parents haven't saved one red cent. Enrolling at an in-state public college, starting out in community college, hunting down scholarships, picking up part-time work and paid internships, and even living at home are all major ways that students can make their school bills more manageable. Would we be in this situation if more students availed themselves of these options rather than taking a blind leap of faith right into crushing debt?
Ultimately, many parties are responsible for the student loan crisis. As we reach a point of decision, it will be interesting to see if and how colleges, Congress, lenders, and students themselves make a change for the better.

I think I am finally read to start thinking about the beginning of a new school year. It's hard to get motivated to stay inside and "work" when the front door is calling me outside to this:
Mini Pocket Chart--LOVE this! Got three, wish I had gotten more!
GREAT "sorting" cards for categorizing.
Capital/Lowercase Alpha Puzzles and Sets to 10 Puzzles
Bookmarks for STARS and KinderKids Reading Club
Table Tags with Alphabet Line
This one's kind of hard to see---Animal Action Words
Card Set
Calendar Headers for Writing Station
Small Reusable Dr. Seuss Bags--Portable Station?
Locker Mirrors
(magnetic--to hang on the "Making Words" side of
the filing cabinet--I bought 5)
My "almost favorite"--GIANT
coffee cup. I think it's supposed to be for ice cream,
but it's microwavable, and it's already had it's first filling
of coffee. (Gilmore Girls, anyone?)
THESE were my favorite find. They're end-of-the-pencil
erasers. We'll use them as pointers.
There WERE a lot of other items that I didn't buy, contrary to what my husband thinks. But I tried to use some restraint. Because NEXT week, we have to go back to the airport. And there just MIGHT be a good reason for me to volunteer again (inoticedadollartreeacrossthestreetfromtarget.) Until then, I think I'll go sit by the lake and read the next chapter of The Book Whisperer.

A new market study, titled "Biologic and Medical Imaging Reagents: Global Markets", has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
Biological imaging reagents play a fundamental role in today's medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Optical imaging reagents allow life sciences researchers and drug developers to visualize and detect biological processes at the molecular level and to perform key genomics, proteomics and cellular analysis assays. Nuclear and contrast reagents provide important diagnostic information to physicians, enabling the early detection and treatment of disease conditions in cardiology, neurology and oncology.
The strategic importance of biological imaging reagents in life sciences was recognized in 2008 with the awarding of the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry to Asamu Shimomura (Japan), Martin Chalfie and Roger Tsien (United States) for their research on green fluorescent proteins (GFPs). GFPs are an important class of biological imaging reagents that are widely used in proteomics and cellular analysis.
The global market for biological imaging reagents is primarily driven by advancements in biomarker technology in medical diagnostics. Biomarkers have tremendous potential to impact the success rates of clinical trials, drug development and medical diagnosis. However, lack of standardization has always been a major challenge in biomarker diagnosis. Moreover, in working toward establishing interoperability among clinical systems, the demand for automated image quantification and integration of clinical and image data has emerged. Thus, the continuous developments in quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) had created the need for standards as the images acquired are not uniform and there can be differences in interpretation at different levels. Image-based assessment of treatment responses can be highly variable, depending on the make and model of the imaging equipment used and how the images were acquired, processed and the guidelines by which they were interpreted. For example, if a cancer patient has a positron emission tomography (PET) scan done at one hospital using one type of scanner and procedures, and two months after treatment has a PET scan on a different scanner or with different procedures, the measurements from the two scans might not be comparable.
Request Sample Report at https://www.wiseguyreports.com/sample-request/2963552-biologic-and-medical-imaging-reagents-global-markets
To address this issue, the Radiological Society of North America has established the Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance (QIBA), which aims to improve the value and practicality of quantitative imaging biomarkers by reducing variability across devices and time. Currently, QIBA standards have been established for two standardized profiles, which include accurate and reproducible 18Ffluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT measurements; and CT tumor volume measurements. This will improve the reliability of cancer imaging studies and is considered a major positive trend in the global market for biological imaging reagents. The global biological imaging market is expected to reach nearly $23.9 billion by 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6% during the forecast period of 2017 to 2022.
Imaging reagents consist of a diverse class of technologies. Fluorescent probes and dyes cover a significant part of the imaging reagents industry.

God Sure Has a Big Heart
With all my sins needing forgiveness, His love is big enough to handle that. For all the billions of people in the world, there was still room for one more — me — to be in His heart. He has a big heart.
With all my sins needing forgiveness, His love is big enough to handle that. For all the billions of people in the world, there was still room for one more — me — to be in His heart. He has a big heart.
What's the number one reason people go to church? Is it the music? Is it incredible children's ministries? Is it various social activities provided? To these questions, the answer is "no." The number one reason why people go to church is…
God has now, through Jesus, given us new hearts that are responsive to Him, and now, slowly, through the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling believers, God is working at making us perfect.
Musical worship is a time to approach Jesus with open hands and exhausted hearts, confident that he will receive us with the tenderness and grace that He earned for us by enduring our penalty, scorning the shame of physical and spiritual agony…
Idols are for other people. Idols are those things that strange people with unfamiliar religions on the other side of the world worship. Idols do not exist in my town, my school, my church, or my life. Right? Unfortunately, the answer is that idols are very much alive in our world and take on a form that we don't often recognize as an object of our worship.
Being filled with the Spirit is a hallmark of life in Christ. It is when we are submitted to Him and responding to His leading in all kinds of practical ways. We highlighted that wonderful invitation this past Sunday at Grace.
There is no doubt that North America is growing increasingly secular. The number of people who claim no religious affiliation is growing and church attendance is down. But does this mean worship is on the decline as well? Not necessarily.
Have you ever thought about what goes into planning a worship service? In his book Center Church, Timothy Keller suggests there are three elements that should be considered when planning services: Biblical theology, historical tradition, and cultural context.
The mission that Jesus gave us—to make disciples of all nations—is an incredibly important responsibility that we should take seriously. However, it's not an eternal activity; one day the mission of making disciples will end when Christ's bride is made whole. But there is an eternal activity and priority that must also be a part of our lives…

If you have a business vehicle and are considering a new one, you may qualify for a substantial tax deduction through Section 179 of the IRS tax code. I supplied the facts to Washington Post for this sponsored short video by General Motors Fleet to help educate business owners:
According to the official site for Section 179: For passenger vehicles, trucks, and vans, that are used more than 50% for qualified business purposes, the total deduction for depreciation including both the Section 179 expense deduction as well as Bonus Depreciation is limited to $11,060 for cars and $11,160 for trucks and vans.
Exceptions include the following vehicles:
- Ambulance or hearse used specifically in your business;
- Taxis, transport vans, and other vehicles used to specifically transport people or property for hire;
- Qualified non-personal use vehicles specifically modified for business (i.e. van without seating behind driver, permanent shelving installed, and exterior painted with company's name).
Limits for SUVs or Crossover Vehicles with GVWR above 6,000lbs
Certain vehicles (with a gross vehicle weight rating above 6,000 lbs. but no more than 14,000 lbs.) qualify for expensing up to $25,000 if the vehicle is financed and placed in service prior to December 31 and meet other conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You have until December 31, so make sure you take the opportunity to see if you qualify lower your tax liability and your vehicle costs.
Check with your CPA to check your Section 179 eligibility and the impact it may have on your tax return. Our Tax Debt Assistance accounting team serves individuals and businesses throughout New England. If you need an experienced New England CPA, give us a call at (855) 479-2400. We are here to help.

One of the things that I counsel my clients on is the need to reassess how they present themselves to the world on a regular basis. I am my own worst client because I haven't thought about the branding for Wonderland Media in over three years, and it was high time that I practiced what I preach!
The original branding for Wonderland Media was born from the mind of a mid-twenties entrepreneur with stars in her eyes: pinks, greens, calligraphic font mixed with a sans serif, and flowery imagery. As I've grown and changed as a person, and as a business owner, I came to realize that this branding really did portray the Wonderland Media brand very well. Rather than a few tweaks, I went for a full brand overhaul.
The new branding is modern and sleek; its simplicity lies in its monochromatic colour scheme and single font choice.
The logo design is simple, and a complementary brand mark was created for use in social media, photo watermarks, and anything else that requires a small, but distinctive, branding.
The colours and feel of the brand were pulled from two stock photos that feature prominently throughout the website and the marketing materials. Soft textures, natural elements, and a bold monochromatic colour scheme ensures that the focus is on the content, rather than a fancy logo.
When it came to the website redesign, I decided to keep the site as simple as possible--three pages and a blog, to be exact. This may grow and change over time, but for now I wanted the blog content to be the main focus of the site, since it houses the most up-to-date information.
The social application of the branding is simply an extension of the website look and feel. This creates consistency across all platforms, and will ensure that people can easily identify the Wonderland Media brand no matter where they are.
Does your brand need some work? Just fill out a quick form and we'll get started today!

Are you gaining weight faster than usual? Are you feeling depressed and fatigued most of the time? Are you having problems with your heart? If the answer to all these questions is affirmative, then you might be suffering from hypothyroidism.
Many people take the above symptoms as seasonal phases or passing conditions, when in fact they are unknowingly experiencing a deprecation of their thyroid gland. Once this organ stops working properly, the hormones that regulate our weight distribution and mood oscillations are no longer produced. Very soon we give in to obesity, severe depression and heart disease. To successfully combat these illnesses, we can only revert to a natural remedy like Thyromine. This supplement consists of elements sourced from nature only, and it is a safe way to get both your mind and body back to regular health.
As we grow older the thyroid gland needs more support from us in order to function properly. This organ has to be provided with natural substances for it to be healthy. The best way to achieve this is to take a daily supplement that contains the right enzymes and nutrients which can be rapidly assimilated by our body. Thyromine is an ideal candidate for this job and a fitting health sustainer for the thyroid gland. Due to its strong combination of herbal extracts and natural substances obtained from animals, it quickly remediates any damage to the thyroid tissue.
Thyromine, best bought on thyrominesupplement.com contains healthy doses of adrenal powder and thyroid powder, both extracted from the thyroid glands of bovines and pigs. It might seem that they are obtained from peculiar sources, but doctors have discovered that these are the most powerful natural ingredients that can cure hypothyroidism. The process of collecting them does not kill the animals nor does it create any health problems to them. More than that, the resulting pills have been clinically tested and declared 100% safe by the medical community.
In a world where most of the things we consume are synthetically and industrially produced, it has become harder and harder to provide our bodies with what they were intended to consume in the first place: natural ingredients. Medicine has come a long way into treating diseases and increasing life expectation. However, most of the medication out there is composed of intoxicating chemicals that do more damage than good to our health in the long run. Thankfully, there are still doctors who promote only natural remedies, and in the case of thyroid diseases they recommend Thyromine as the best toxins-free treatment.
By taking Thyromine at a rate of one pill for day for at least three months you will see your body regain its health and your mind recapture its energy and positive approach. This treatment has been effective for no less than 93% of the consumers and most of them have continued the medication intake to ensure that their bodies are supplied with the right amount of nutrients, vitamins and enzymes in a natural manner.

Ok, I bought this set and a barn door that can attach to it, to practice practice practice lighting.
http://www.wexphotographic.com …ox-hotshoe-plate/p1533418
Now the question(s),
1. I have set the background up as wanted with 1 flash, if ambient is not enough in front of the background whatever, I need more flashes or lights to light up the subject yes?
2. What do you expose for? after getting the background right do you then just use manual till the subject is correct? But would that not alter the background if using a white cloth with a colour behind?
3. I have 2 flashes, 1 behind the background, use 1 as a shoot through with a reflector? Or look at more flash/strobes? Remember this is just a hobby for doing my daughter/family never ever going to consider this as any thing other.
Any other tips? Thanks all.

Question: Is it true that wisdom teeth have to be extracted soon after their emergence in order to avoid future oral complications? Then again, what is the difference between normal tooth extraction and wisdom tooth removal?
Answer: Impacted wisdom tooth is one of the complications that a majority of people experience soon after the emergence of wisdom tooth. Impacted wisdom tooth can cause a lot of pain and as such the need to remove them before they can be able to cause further health complications. To date, extraction of wisdom teeth is the only solution to impacted wisdom tooth.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction vs. Normal Teeth Extraction
But what is the key difference between wisdom tooth extraction and normal teeth removal? Your first sets of teeth are commonly referred to as milk teeth. Milk teeth normally start to appear at the age of six months and continue to emerge for the next couple of years. However, milk teeth are temporary and as such will eventually shed off.
Removal of normal teeth does not require the services of an experienced and skilled oral surgeon as is the case with wisdom teeth. Normal teeth can easily be extracted by a general dentist or family dentist. During the extraction process, the dentist only needs to numb the area in order to minimize pain. Most people do not experience pain after the extraction of normal tooth and as such there is no need to prescribe pain killers.
When Can You Expect to See Your First Set of Wisdom Teeth?
But the same cannot be said of wisdom teeth. In contrast to milk teeth, wisdom teeth are the last sets of molars to appear later in life. Most people have their wisdom teeth between the ages of 17 and 25 years. A majority of people do not experience problems with their wisdom teeth. However, there are individuals who experience what is known as impacted wisdom teeth. What this means is that, there isn't adequate room for the wisdom teeth to mature and as such tend to mature in different directions.
As a means of relieving the pain caused by impacted wisdom teeth, there are people who are prescribed for painkillers as well as antibiotics. However, the best solution is extraction of the impacted teeth in order to avoid future complications.
Is Surgery Needed In Order to Remove Wisdom Teeth?
Unlike normal teeth, extraction of wisdom teeth entails surgically cutting off the teeth. It is for this reason that patients are usually sedated in order to avoid feeling the pain. Then again, you have to follow a strict diet soon after the removal of your wisdom teeth in order to accelerate the healing process.

Washington, D.C. was named the first LEED for Cities Platinum city in the world by the U.S. Green Building Council last month.
Today, 65% of D.C. neighborhoods are walkable, 58% of commuter trips are by bike, walking, or public transit, and the D.C. government is 100% powered by renewable energy. D.C. is also on track to derive at least one-half of its electricity from renewable resources by 2032.
Launched last year, LEED for Cities enables cities to measure and communicate performance, focusing on outcomes from ongoing sustainability efforts across an array of metrics, including energy, water, waste, transportation, and human experience (which includes education, prosperity, equity, and health and safety). LEED for Cities projects benchmark and track performance using Arc, a digital platform that uses data to provide greater transparency into sustainability efforts and helps cities make more informed decisions, according to a USGBC news release.
D.C. has entered into one of the largest municipal onsite solar projects in the U.S., and completed the largest wind power purchase agreement deal by an American city. The city has also launched Sustainable DC 2.0, a comprehensive city policy statement, and signed a pledge to uphold the commitments in the Paris Climate Accord.

Australian Grand Prix chief Ron Walker claims Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone was "horrified" at the sport's new quieter era - which could lead to a legal challenge.

Although the arrival of the new 1.6-litre V6 turbo-charged power units produced an entertaining season-opening race at Melbourne's Albert Park on Sunday, the noise level failed to impress.
The screaming sound of the old V8 engine has gone, and in its place is a huskier decibel level, complete with whistles and whirrs from the turbo.
It is a sound Ecclestone knew long ago would not be right for F1, even before the first car hit the track in testing in January.
Now Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) chairman Walker, a close friend of Ecclestone, has made his feelings plain to the 83-year-old, to such an extent he is checking the small print in the contracts between the two to see what recourse he may have.
"I was absolutely delighted with the whole weekend, but I was not too happy with the sound," said Walker, speaking to Melbourne newspaper The Age.
"We are resolving that with Bernie. It's clearly in breach of our contract. I was talking to him last night (Sunday) and it's not what we paid for. It's going to change.
"He's horrified about it. It will be an issue for all promoters all round the world.
"I walk in the botanical gardens and you could hear the sound of the twin-seater F1 car of Paul Stoddart's sweeping around the circuit, but you couldn't hear these new turbo cars.
"If you sat in the grandstand you could hardly hear them coming down the straight. We (the Grand Prix Corporation) are an entertainment company and we have to entertain the public.
"Everybody was talking about it. When you take the excitement away, you have trouble selling tickets. You have to create demand, and part of that demand is people liking the noise of the race cars."

|Fluctuation- induced self- organization of a phonological system
Subject(s): CX.01, CX.43
Category: News Item
A central problem of linguistics is the origin of phonological systems. A dominant view is to attribute it to the inherent capacity of humans to emit and recognize sounds and to attribute them preferentially to objects. In the present communication the idea that such systems may evolve via self- organized processes is explored. The principal thesis is that self- organization is induced by process of imitation and competition between individuals of a population confronted to different options. The simplest scenario of pair interactions and of options of a priori equal attractivities is adopted. Under these conditions the evolution is entirely driven by the fluctuations. It is shown that the population evolves from an initial random state to a final organized one in which only a particular option (sound) or a small number of such options survive. The role of different parameters on the evolution such as the number of individuals and of the options to be managed is analyzed, and a power law dependence of time needed to achieve the final state on these parameter is derived. An experimental program to implement these ideas is proposed.
