The State of New Jersey, Compiled from the Most Authentic Information
This map of New Jersey appeared in General Atlas for Carey's Edition of Guthrie's Geography Improved, published in Philadelphia in 1795. The map extends from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean and indicates the state's principal towns, roads, and counties, as well as mountains, rivers, and the bordering states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The map shows the counties of Bergen, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Salem, Somerset, and Sussex. The map was engraved in 1795 by William Barker (active 1795‒1803). Samuel Lewis (1753 or 1754–1822), a Philadelphia draftsman, delineated the "Division line of East and West Jersey." Trenton, shown on the map on the Delaware River northeast of Philadelphia, became the capital of all of New Jersey in 1790. Mathew Carey (1760–1839) was an immigrant from Ireland who worked as a publisher in Philadelphia, specializing in maps, atlases, and works of geography. In 1795 he issued the first atlas published in the United States, the American Atlas. Early American publishers such as Carey were not restricted by international copyright agreements and reused European sources to print extensive atlases and geography texts. Carey combined William Guthrie's European maps, originally published in London in 1770, with updated maps of the United States to produce Guthrie's Geography Improved. The map is from the Rochambeau Collection at the Library of Congress, which consists of 40 manuscript maps, 26 printed maps, and a manuscript atlas that belonged to Jean-Baptiste-Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau (1725‒1807), commander in chief of the French expeditionary army (1780‒82) during the American Revolution. Some of the maps were used by Rochambeau during the war. Dating from 1717 to 1795, the maps cover much of eastern North America, from Newfoundland and Labrador in the north to Haiti in the south. The collection includes maps of cities, maps showing Revolutionary War battles and military campaigns, and early state maps from the 1790s.

Dear parishioners:
Merry Christmas everyone!
On this last Sunday of the calendar year it is probably safe to say that 2013 has certainly been an interesting year. Even in the last few weeks we have witnessed the passing of important individuals who have left a lasting impact on the human family and have even seen the Pope named as the "Person of the Year!" I suspect that 2014 will provide more surprises as well!
Pope Francis has called for the Bishop's Synod this year to focus upon the family and family life. Given his refreshing style, I am sure that this dialogue will bear lasting fruit even as we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family today.
With these things in mind, perhaps this prayer for the blessing of a home during the Christmas Season might find a place in your family this day:
Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this home and all who dwell therein. Fill them with the light of Christ, that their concern for others may reflect your love.
May God, who by the Incarnation brought together the earthly and
heavenly realm, fill you with the gift of his peace and favor!
Fr. Bob

|The Beautiful Wadis of Oman!
For more Free LGBT news & info - subscribe to my weekly gay travel news brief!
|Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
|Closest thing to a gay flag in Oman
What could be more exotic than having a guy toss off sandals, pull back an exquisitely embroidered cap & peel back the folds of glowing white robe to get down? Most men still wear the traditional dishdasha, a bright-white garment (with sometimes no under-garment – depending on the heat) and (really cute) hat, called a Kimah. Some younger people also wear western attire – but it seems tradition is more comfortable. It doesn't surprise me that a country so uniquely dressed is also lead by a gay Sultan (it's rumored)! One guy I met even said he felt things would change, if only because western TV reaches the population. Though he told me he's not out, he felt optimistic because his younger brother at least understands the concept of marriage equality based on what's on TV.
|Me and my Kimah
Days into my trip – which was prompted because of my friend studying Arabic there – I realized I also had an Omani Facebook friend. Long ago, I created the Gay Eagle Scout group on Facebook just as a forum for gay Eagle Scouts to connect & commiserate (I am also one). This Omani reached out – apparently they have Scouting in Oman – and so he welcomed me and took me around his city! We took photos outside the major palace, visited the compact Bait al Baranda Museum and walked around the market where and he taught me all about the medicinal properties of frankincense and bought me a Kimah!
|Driving into the wadi
|Incredible rock formations
Obviously, this is not the place to "party" in the western sense – for fun Omanis have coffee or a meal together, hang out along Al Shati Street on the ocean at night, play football (soccer) by the beach or go outside the city to their villages to enjoy friends and family. But they do so with some of the most spectacular views. You can also eat great Middle Eastern cuisine, decent Asian – and even American food. This is a place to enjoy nature and reconnect with family or friends – especially if you like the heat and can stand the contrast into readily available AC.

Things to do after an accident to pave the way for the smooth filing of a claim for compensation
Consideration was given for the editing and publication of this post.
Vehicular accidents are common in metropolitan areas, and if you or your loved ones suffer injuries in an accident, you can exercise your right to seek compensation for the damages and suffering caused. To seek legal aid for claiming compensation for the personal injury, you must engage a Brisbane liability law firm to handle your case. Only a lawyer can work out the compensation amount rightfully due to the victim by attaching values for all damages. Property damages are also part of the compensation which the lawyer can advise you depending on the circumstances. Moreover, personal injuries can happen from a variety of accidents, including crime and assault, slip and fall or injury at the workplace. The requirements for claiming compensation differ according to the nature of the accident.
To ensure that the claim processing is smooth, the victim must do the right things after the accident.
Document the scene of the accident
Soon after an accident, depending on the extent of injuries, medical attention is the top requirement because saving lives is a priority. But if the injuries are less serious, as soon as you regain your senses by overcoming the initial shock, take some quick actions to document all that happened and create an authentic description of the accident and its effects. From the moments that led to the accident to gathering witnesses, everything is very crucial.
Call the police
While documenting the event to create your narrative of the incidents, you must also call the police immediately after the accident in order to record the incident officially. The police report is the most important document considered by the insurance adjusters and the court. Unless the injuries incapacitate you, protecting your rights and filing a claim for compensation for injuries and damages should be your top priority and you should work toward it.
Call for medical help
Whether you are injured alone, or there are others injured in the accident, call for medical assistance so that everyone receives primary treatment. Keep the records pertaining to the treatment procedures along with the medical bills and the doctor's note that constitutes a part of the evidence of the physical condition of the injured.
Arrange for witnesses
No matter how well you document the accident, you must have people to speak for you and this only possible if you talk to people present at the accident site and make them agree to appear as witnesses to the case. They should also help you by supplying additional information that you can gather by asking several questions.
Photograph the scene
To aid the process of documentation and make it more authentic, take extensive photographs of the scene of the accident. This is so much essential that if you do not have the wherewithal of taking photographs, ask someone else to help you out. In addition to capturing the images of the vehicles involved in the accident, take photos of the injured persons too as well as any relevant objects nearby lime the traffic lights.
If you are claiming for vehicle damage, attach three estimates in support of your claim.

Yo, you against me, no contest, my tongue hydraulics
Strong enough to flip a '64 Impala with 3 adult passengers
And a 4 hundred pound driver
And drown you in less than an ounce of your own saliva
Rubber face rappers get, stretched like elastic
Claymation characters wit verbal vernacular
Slappin' ya, like a white water rafter
Or a Olympic kayaked, paddlin' across the Niagara
My afterburners'll be burnin' you after
Ya' body already been splashed with acid and you turn to ashes
Assassins camouflaged in the grass blastin'
Leavin' blood all over ya' lady like Jackie O'Nassis
I'll fly ya' body outta Dallas
Perform plastic surgery while we airborne and switch caskets
Then lie to the masses, I'll tell 'em that
You got murdered over some East West beef, between rappers
Radio stations'll express their sadness
Play classics back to back and pass out stop the violence pamphlets
Just imagine, every night ya' girls fuckin' ya' best friend
While you in hell throwin' tantrums
I'll be lampin' in a mansion somewhere out in the Hamptons
Givin' some pretty ass bitch a spankin', nigga you can't win
I'm laughin' 'cause you a has been
You'll never get ya' groove back
So don't even bother askin', Angela Bassett
You'll just get ya' ass kicked
Get ya' head chopped off and dropped in a basket
My left arms taken but my right ones free
That means I could diss another muthafuckin' emcee
Wit rhymes that appear clearer than liquid crystal
My lyrical is more visual than television screen pixels
I fire pistols, hit you wit' miniature missiles
Riddle ya' body wit' holes then watch the blood sprinkle
Ya probably had no idea what you was gettin' into
On the mic, Can-i-bus is invincible
Fuck you

To you bitch niggas who talk alot but walk the block, in halter tops
Left side of ya chest, mark the spot
That's where a nigga put it, when I'm hooded
Then fill you up wit big bullets prepare you for some channel 6 footage
Know what is, me and Bis, runnin' through ya courtyard
Creepin' wit a four-five and reachin' for ya door knob
Throw a gun under ya chin, see how quick your whore rise
One shot could have a short slide, right out the North side
Your whole flow is porkrine, spit the small oints
I'm nasty, but my small joints grip the bar point
Drop on top of the blue line, right beside the red one
Keep the flow fearsome, 'til the day my career done
Bring it to ya ass if you the challengin' type
Especially those, surroundin' the mic, sound of the light
To the Journ, y'all ain't no suitable splitters
True to you niggas, lay you out on MD's, recoupin' ya liver

Avalanche Studios has announced that Just Cause 3's first DLC pack, Sky Fortress, is out now for those that own the Air, Land and Sea Expansion Pass. As for everyone else, Sky Fortress will be available next week, on the 15th of March.

"The new story missions, challenges, and gadgets that can be taken into the main game really mix things up, and we can't wait for players to revisit Medici and start getting even more creative."
The game will receive two other expansions packs before the end of the Summer. The 'Sky Fortress' DLC will be available for $11.99/€11.99/£9.49. Alternatively, you can purchase the game's Air, Land and Sea Expansion Pass, which gives you access to all three packs, for $24.99/€24.99/£19.99.

Pasadena-based realty company Alexandria Real Estate has purchased a two-story office and research building from Stanford University in Palo Alto for $100.3 million, a report in The Mercury News Wednesday said.
The 100,000-square-foot office building at 3170 Porter Drive in Palo Altos Stanford Research Park houses Jazz Pharmaceuticals as the only tenant, the report said. Jazz Pharmaceuticals, which develops and commercializes products to address medical needs in the therapeutic areas of narcolepsy, oncology, pain and psychiatry, has been a tenant since 2015.
Stanford Research Park is a 700-acre business park in Palo Alto that Stanford University launched in 1951. Stanford has structured the property holdings in the park so that the university retains sole ownership of the land beneath the business park. Entities or individuals that purchase buildings in the park are typically granted a ground lease from the university and the buyers own the structures atop the land, the report added.
We are pleased that there is continued interest by outstanding real estate investors for the high-quality assets in Stanford Research Park, Ernest Miranda, a Stanford University spokesman, said in the report.
Alexandria bought the building through an affiliate on January 9, according to Santa Clara County property records. The sale came after Stanford University completed an upgrade for the building that started in 2014.
Stanford University describes Stanford Research Park as home to many of the worlds most cutting-edge and influential companies since 1951.

Forex Trading Guide
The global financial markets are a place where fortunes can be earned and lost in the blink of an eye, and is a haven for speculators, investors and fund managers looking for a return on their capital. Whether its managed by an individual for the individual or managed by an institutional investor on behalf of a fund, financial markets ranging from shares to commodities to derivatives are traded around the clock across the world's major financial centres to enable traders to respond to changing market circumstances while allowing suppliers and businesses an alternative mechanism for raising vital private capital.
One of the larger areas of the trading sphere, and in fact the largest type of market by traded volume is the forex market. The forex markets, short for 'foreign exchange', allows traders and speculators to trade off the back of different currencies and their fluctuating valuations in much the same way as a share speculator might buy and sell shares. It is a marketplace that is driven by supply and demand in the same way as every other financial market, and presents opportunities for traders to capitalize on macro-economic triggers that shift currency values in both directions.
The forex markets trade around the clock, and unlike CFD or spread betting transactions, traders generally place their orders in the markets directly, with the broker facilitating their move. What forex does have in common with CFDs and spread betting is that traders can deploy massive amounts of leverage to increase the size of the position, and make more money from smaller incremental price increases. However, the degrees of leverage afforded by forex are often many times greater than those with CFDs and spread betting, often as much as a ratio of 500:1, which means that forex is both potentially more profitable while also potentially much more risky.
The forex markets' real point of distinction lies in the volatility of the traded currencies as compared to the volatility of the stock markets, and indeed many other different types of financial market. Currencies trade up and down on the basis of two major factors: economic indicators and geopolitical current affairs. This means that while currency valuations do have the ability to move heavily in either direction, they tend to be less volatile on the whole than share markets. This is a significant part of the reason that leverage plays such an important role in forex markets – by inflating the transaction size, leverage effectively mimics the effects of volatility by making much smaller movements up and down more severe.
On a similar vein, forex markets are substantially more liquid than all other types of financial markets, because currency is the most liquid asset there is. Rather than a share purchase, which must then be kept for a dividend or sold for cash, currency is already cash, and therefore positions are traded with much more speed and order filled much more quickly than in other financial markets.
Foreign exchange trading, hereinafter referred to as forex, can be a fantastic way to make money trading off the back of a potentially narrower field of research than many other financial markets. For those that want to be successful, the trick lies in understanding how the markets work, how they might respond to different triggers, and how you can manage the potentially massive risks that are posed to you by exposure to the market. In the coming sections, we're going to look at how you can achieve these objectives, with a view to delivering the best return on your capital from the forex markets.

The ability to compare and merge Task Sequences and version after the merge
I would like the ability to load up a couple of Task Sequences, and have the ability to merge any changes between the two TS's.
This would assist when importing TS over from a TEST or DEV env or working on test TS in the same environment. Ideally have the option to approve /deny each of the merges before submitting.
Once merged, version the change to a later increment so neither of the two TS's are saved over?

For Women in Cryptocurrency – Investor Jalak Jobanputra Is Betting Big on Crypto
The low number of women in blockchain and crypto industry is well documented. For instance, there is only about only 4 percent to 6 percent of women among blockchain investors. That is highlighted very well in blockchain and crypto meetups.
Just to mention one, the North American Bitcoin Conference in January had 84 male speakers and only three women. Organizer of the event Moe Levin said it was not intentional to include more men than women. In fact, there was supposed to be 86 men and one-woman speakers, but later changes included two more women speakers. This came after some complaints on the issue.
The official party was at a strip club, and a group of female investors boycotting the conference to which Levin said was surprising. He said the reason was that there aren't too many event spaces downtown Miami.
"Moe does something just as sexist every year," said Rose Chan, who founded the World Bank's blockchain working group and now runs her cryptocurrency project. "He switches it up, which means that he thinks about it."
That was worse by the sexist incidents involving DateCoin's Facebook ad and Prodeum, the blockchain-for-fruit startup scam.
As a result, some leaders in the cryptocurrency space are now organizing events, clubs, and conferences to attract women in the industry. One such event was in San Francisco this month. Alexia Bonatsos, a venture capitalist, spoke at the meeting and recently wrote on his Twitter page.
Alexia Bonatsos, a venture capitalist, wrote on Twitter,
"Women, consider crypto. Otherwise the men are going to get all the wealth, again."
There was also a gathering in New York, which brought together some leaders in the crypto spaces. These include Jalak Jobanputra, founder of the startup investment firm Future Perfect Ventures. Out of that meeting came the plans to launch Collective Future, which is a blockchain advocacy group. However, crypto companies will create a diversity pledge as a show of commitment.
Together, these leaders agree that it is crucial to get women in blockchain and crypto as early as now.
"The early days are what decide the culture of industry and who get involving in making the decisions," Jobanputra said.
The most commonly cited reason for little involvement of women in cryptocurrency industry would be lack of as many women in the tech industries as men. However, Arianna Simpson, an early cryptocurrency investor doesn't think it takes expertise or Ph.D. to thrive in the industry.
"Women always question if they're qualified," she said. "But look at these clowns around us."
Brit Morin, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur recently held a women blockchain event that sold out in an hour and then all the 500 seats sold out again in a more critical venue afterward. That evening, about 16,000 viewers watched the live stream. It might mean that some changes are beginning to surface.
"We have an opportunity to rebuild the financial systems," Morin said. "Women want to be part of that."

3. You have major anxiety issues
It can be really frustrating when people are like "just do it" or "take that leap of faith" when you have major anxiety issues.
Things such as social anxiety disorder, panic disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorder are just a few conditions related to anxiety that might need specific or professional treatment.
If you think you might have major anxiety issues, do your research and try to find professional help. Understand the health insurance you have and find out if you can get treatment for free or for a low price.
And if you don't have health insurance, still do your research, seek out support groups and find out if there are ways someone else can fund your treatment. You're not alone in this and learning how to manage anxiety could get you that much closer to your new year goals.

The World Bank has cut its global growth forecast.
In its bi-annual report, the predicted global growth will be 3 percent for this year and 3.3 for 2016.
The report emphasises that the economy is "running on a single engine. The American one. This does not make for a rosy outlook."
In June last year the World Bank stated growth would reach 3.4 percent for 2015 and 3.5 percent next year.
The Bank adds that the low oil prices may help importing countries such as India, which is expected to grow by some 7 percent next year.
On the other hand oil producers like Russia look set to loose out. The Russian economy is on course to contract by 2.9 percent this year.
The recovery, says the report, is at best "sputtering" along in the eurozone and Japan.

Moon Cakes
Moon cakes are a traditional Chinese food eaten around the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival – usually sometime in September or October. Mid-Autumn is the second most important festival for family reunion in China, after Spring Festival. But why do Chinese people eat moon cakes at the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Round Moon Cakes Symbolize Happiness and Reunion
Mid-Autumn Reunion
Shaped like the surface of the moon, moon cakes are round and stuffed with all kinds of ingredients. They were originally offered as sacrifices to the moon and later eaten when families gathered together, carrying candle lanterns and enjoying the beauty of the full and bright moon.
The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration nowadays is not complete without eating the round-shaped moon cakes, which convey people's desires for luck, happiness, and family reunion.
Varieties of Flavors for Moon Cakes
The flavors of Chinese moon cakes today can be divided into two categories, according to whether they are native to China or relatively new, combining Chinese and western tastes:
Traditional Flavors
Five Kernel and BBQ Pork Mooncakes
1. Five Kernel and BBQ Pork – This is the most famous traditional flavor in China. Its filling consists of roast pork and 5 types of chopped nuts and seeds which vary according to the region but commonly include walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, dried winter melon seeds, sesame seeds or almonds.
2. Lotus Seed Paste with Yolk – This is made of dried lotus seeds with one round salted duck egg. This kind of moon cake is considered by some to be the most delicious, and possibly the most luxurious as well.
3. Sweet Bean Paste – There are several types of bean paste for this kind of filling – including red bean paste, mung bean paste and black bean paste. Red bean paste is the most common.
Modern New Flavors
Chocolate Mooncake
1. Snow Skin Moon Cakes – Chilled rather than baked, these are named after their translucent skin. They have become increasingly popular in recent years among young adults, kids and westerners.
2. Ice Cream Moon Cakes – Once a novelty, now a favorite among many people, these chocolate-coated, ice-cream-stuffed cakes have established themselves as a must for Mid-Autumn Festival.
3. Chocolate Moon Cakes – Chocolate-covered, chocolate-dipped and chocolate-stuffed moon cakes.
4. Green Tea Moon Cakes – These are ideal for those who want their desert to have health benefits. They are popular amongst those who can't quite stomach the sweetness of candy coverings.
5. Vegetarian Moon Cakes – These moon cakes are stuffed with all kinds of fruit and vegetables such as durian, pineapple, strawberry, taro paste, etc.
Regional Styles of Moon Cake
Yunnan Ham Mooncakes
The form, texture, and method of baking moon cakes all vary throughout the country. They come in different local styles.
- Cantonese-Style Moon Cakes: tender and rich, with thin crusts and thick fillings.
- Chaoshan-Style Moon Cakes: crisp skin and fine fillings, sweet and oily, but not greasy.
- Beijing-Style Moon Cakes: crispy outside and soft inside, not too sweet as a whole, using much sesame oil and a 2:3 proportion of crust and filling.
- Suzhou-Style Moon Cakes: crispy skin and soft layers, heavy oil but not greasy, with stuffing that is sweet and a bit salty.
- Yunnan-Style Moon Cakes: crispy skin and sweet flavors with a taste of salt, with fillings of ham and flowers.
Why Are Moon Cakes So Expensive?
Mooncake Gift Boxes
As a compulsory festive food, moon cakes are always a best-seller around the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Most are intended as gifts for friends and relatives, with luxurious and exquisite packaging. It's a bit ridiculous but true that sometimes the gift boxes are even more expensive than the moon cakes themselves!
On the other hand, moon cakes may cost a lot to make, when for example they have costly ingredients like seafood or high-quality tea, or use special baking methods, like snow skin moon cakes.
Sample Moon Cake Recipe

Ingredients and Preparations
Mooncake Ingredients
To make 12 sweet bean paste moon cakes, you'll need: 350g self-raising flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 150g sugar, 180ml vegetable oil, 3 eggs (cracked into a bowl and lightly beaten), and about 175ml cold water
Plus: oil or butter for greasing the baking tray, about 450g sweet red bean paste, 1 egg (cracked into a bowl and beaten for brushing)
- How to make red bean paste: red azuki beans are boiled, then pureed and sweetened.
Making Moon Cakes
- Step 1. Hold a large sieve over a bowl, tip in the flour, and shake gently so the flour falls into the bowl. Add the sugar, oil and eggs.
- Step 2. Knead everything with your hands or with the kneading hooks of a mixer. The dough should hold together but not be sticky. Add a little water, until it holds well together.
- Step3. Put a little oil or butter on to a kitchen towel and grease a muffin tray (or another different shape of mold). Take a piece of dough the size of a table tennis ball. Dust your work area with flour, and then roll out the dough with a rolling pin to make a 100-125mm circle.
- Step 4. Place each circle in a hollow in the muffin tray so it overhangs. Put 1 tablespoon of bean paste in each one. Brush the pastry edges with water.
- Step 5. Heat the oven to 200℃ (gas mark 6). Make 12 walnut-sized balls and roll them out to make 50-75mm circles. Put the smaller circles on top of the paste in the larger ones. Gently press all around the "lid" to close in the paste.
- Step 6. Brush the top of the moon cakes with the beaten egg. Bake them for about 25 minutes.

Hello, and welcome back to The Journal Keeper!
You know, they say that a picture is worth a thousand words. That is true. And in fact, the same picture can mean different things to different people. Two people may see the same picture, but their minds may tell each of them a totally different story about what they are seeing.
Pictures are a good tool to use in your journaling. They can even help to generate ideas for stories or articles or poetry. Try it out. Take a look at the photo below. We all probably see the same cat curled up in the same toilet. But our minds are telling us each a different story about how the cat came to BE in the toilet. Or we might be reminded of a cat we used to have, or of the time the toilet became really clogged and flooded the bathroom floor. Just let your mind do its own thing.
Write in your journal for 15 minutes about this photo. What do you see? How does it make you feel? Does it make you think of anything in particular? Write as fast as you can, and don't stop to re-read or edit what you've written.
Each week I will post a random photo, and you will be invited to write in your journal for 15 minutes about whatever the photo brings to mind.
Until next time, Happy Journaling!

We are undertaking research to build the evidence base on effective interventions to prevent the occurrence and recurrence of food insecurity, whilst collecting data to contribute to building a more accurate picture of the scale and causes of food insecurity in Scotland.
The main piece of research will have two elements, 'journeying back' with individuals to identify earlier intervention points where if the appropriate support had been provided income and food crisis may have been prevented, and longitudinal enquiry to understand an individuals' journey in the 'aftermath' of experiencing income and food crisis – including longer-term outcomes.

Practice Development
A Menu for Change will work intensively in three areas to support public and third sector actors to review and improve existing policy and practice to put cash, rights and dignity at the heart of the response.
Network for Change
We will engage with actors across Scotland to stimulate and harness a network for change. This work will involve highlighting good practice, sharing learning and knowledge, and raising local voices.
Policy & Advocacy
We will use the learning and evidence from A Menu for Change to advocate for policy change to increase the focus on prevention, cash and rights based responses, and dignified access to food.

A PRE-OCCUPATION with keeping out of court dominated the minds of construction lawyers during 2004 as new arbitration procedures in the dispute-hit contracting business began to bite.
A series of reviews into the lengthy legal disputes generated by the construction industry has led to a change of mood. Today subcontractors are expected to make friends of contractors, and developer-clients to speak softly to architects and quantity surveyors.
The new mood of compromise and `partnering' means that more disputes are settled out of court. It also means Manchester's construction lawyers are among the most practised arbitrators and conciliators in the legal business world.
However, some problems didn't vanish during the last 12 months. Claims for injury on building sites continued to cause more than metaphorical headaches. During the summer the Health & Safety Executive reported that 2,800 people were killed on construction sites during the last 25 years.
A government initiative to tidy up construction sites - and hopefully cut the risk of injury - didn't meet with much enthusiasm from lawyers, who said that errors operating machinery and management failure were more serious causes of injury.
Concerns that it was still taking too long to pay contractors and sub-contractors showed no signs of easing. Despite legislation in 1996, intended to cut unreasonably long delays in paying sub-contractors, complaints and litigation were commonplace.
The campaign for a new Construction Act, to deal with this issue and the mounting costs of adjudication, continues. The Society of Construction Lawyers is in the vanguard.

"Mary and Bart Hill own M & B Fairview Farm in Hamburg, PA. For the last five years, they have provided delicious, nutritious raw milk from their gentle, friendly Jerseys and Milking Devons and subsequent crosses, as well as from their herd of a variety of breeds of dairy goats. I can personally attest to their goat's milk being the best I have ever tasted; fresh, creamy and sweet without that typical "gamey" flavor commonly associated with goat's milk.
They also provide grass-fed and pastured meats of beef as well as goat and chicken, along with truly pastured eggs. In fact, if you wanted to buy a live chicken from them, the website advises that you set an appointment and give plenty of warning so that they have time to go out and catch one of their free-ranging birds. Local upscale restaurants carry their meats and dairy, and they are a staple at many farm markets around the region. Continue reading

Whew! We are done with our 2nd week! I hope you are starting to feel more comfortable with what you are doing in your LINKS class! I love seeing so many of you trying new things with different peers and also getting creative in how you are helping them. If you ever have any questions about a particular situation or student, please talk to me or write it in your journals!
On the note of journals (and homework), I am still a bit behind with my grading. It has been a super super busy week, but I promise it will be done soon! (Just in time for me to grade the next ones!).
This week we are going to be talking about the basics of autism as well as the prevalence. I know many of you were probably in some of our LINKS presentations in Mrs. Rodger's classes last year, so it may be more review for you. Others of you missed it, so it will be all new to you.
The information that I will be giving you is very important! When people (your relatives, friends, friends parents, etc.) hear that you are learning about autism, this will be some of the stuff that they will ask you about. So pay attention!
As many of you may remember, autism has become a lot more prevalent over the past 10 years or so. This chart from the Autism Speaks website shows just how much the numbers have jumped:
There are many ideas out there as to why the numbers have increased so much. So much about autism cannot be explained but scientists have been making some progress. The following chart is from 2011, so again, the data is a bit old. The information that it is telling us is important for the diagnosis of autism and why the prevalence has spiked. Again, a large portion is unknown, but there seem to be some things that is can tell us.
As you can see, 44% is unexplained. The 27% for the diagnostic substitution is interesting though. It is often said that previously autism was misdiagnosed (or not diagnosed at all!) as something else (such as a cognitive impairment like most of the students in Mrs. Thimm's class) and that now it is finally being correctly diagnosed. I hear a lot of stories of parents who say "I always knew there was something wrong with me and it wasn't until my child was diagnosed with autism that I realized I have it too!". Of course in most of those cases we are talking about higher functioning autism rather than the more "classical autism" as you would find in my classroom.
The 16% for social influences is also very interesting. This means that because the public (people like your parents or even you) are becoming more aware of autism and have come in contact with someone with autism, the potential for someone else to be diagnosed is heightened. For example, lets say you have two neighbor kids. One has been diagnosed with autism. The other has always acted a bit different but does not currently have a diagnoses. Because the parent of the first child got the diagnosis, there is a greater chance that the other parent will say something like "well, my child does a lot of the same things as our neighbor friend, maybe I should get my child tested to see if they have autism too". This, then, increases the numbers of kids with autism.
The advanced age of parents is a large chunk as well. There are actually a lot of studies that say that older parents (I believe the term "older" means above the age of 40) can cause a lot of different disabilities or syndromes, such as Down Syndrome. With our improving medical science, this actually seems to be decreasing though. Or most older people are no longer trying to have kids.
Geographic clustering is also quite an interesting thing too. (I seem to find all of these statistics interesting!) For some reason certain areas of the country have more people being diagnosed with autism than other areas. There are many ideas as to why this is happening. Maybe it's an environmental issue in the area (Chemicals? Certain foods being offered? Etc.), maybe those doctors are over-diagnosing, or maybe there are just more kids being born in that area. It's hard to say. One interesting article that I read a few weeks ago stated that there are currently 4 cases of kids diagnosed with autism in the Amish community, and those 4 kids were all adopted from a different country or somewhere outside of the Amish community. So what is it that we are being exposed to that kids in the Amish community are not? Fascinating!
Regardless of all of these statistics, there has been a large influx of kids with autism. This is one of the reasons why we have started this class here at JJHS! Within our school district alone, we have 68 students with their primary disability being autism. That's a lot! This is a growing population that eventually will need jobs, places to live, and things to do. Guess who will be working with them, living near them and hanging out with them? You! If we can better train you how to help our students with autism, not only will it help you to understand them in the long-run, but it will also help you to work with and help them! You are (or will be) learning skills that will help a lot of people throughout your whole life.
Whew! That was a lot of information! You have two simple things to do for homework (besides journals!). Please head over to the homework tab to check out what it is! And remember, you all are doing an AMAZING job! The boys are all so blessed to have you in their lives!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Look forward to seeing you this coming week!
Mrs. VanLaan

In 1986, the Challenger Space Shuttle disintegrated on live television to the horror of millions of Americans. That same year Haley's Comet zoomed by Earth and Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone's secret vault days before a nuclear power plant melted down in Chernobyl. It was the year Mike Tyson won his first title and the Iran-Contra affair first started making headline. It was also the year that Ronald Reagan implemented his second round of sweeping changes to the U.S. tax code.
Some 32 years later, another sweeping rounds of tax cuts are now beginning to take effect, albeit much faster than the Reagan tax cuts of 1986.
"We are reliving tax reform of 1986," Oklahoma Corporate Commissioner Bob Anthony said. "When Reagan was President, they passed the Tax Cut Act which lowered it (corporate tax rate) from 45 percent to 36 percent, about 12 percent total. Now we have the Tax Cut and Jobs Act with a percentage drop of about 14 percent. Both are double-digit reductions."
Anthony called the drop in rates in 1986 a significant event, adding that the 2018 drop would have a $100 million impact on the operating cost for regulated public companies in Oklahoma, but wouldn't impact municipality-run utility companies or co-ops.
"That is a significant reduction in the corporate taxes," Anthony said. "Every time a customer pays their bill, it is partly composed of the federal tax."
Anthony said that utility companies figure the amount of corporate taxes into their services when requesting rates from the corporation commission. Anthony referred to himself as the "oldest serving commissioner in Oklahoma." He was first elected to the position in 1988.
"The biggest change is the effective date," Anthony said. "Now we only have a few weeks to get ready, then we had several months."
Regulated public companies like OG&E and Oklahoma Natural Gas are required to make their cases to the commission for changes to customer rates. The companies are not required to pass any savings obtained through the tax cut to the consumers.
"The question is, who is going to get those savings?" Anthony said. "The company, the customers or the shareholders. It worked rather amicably in 1986, and we know how I've voted on these things in the past. I have a pattern of voting that rate payers (consumers) should receive some or all of the tax savings. But I have to leave myself open to any new arguments."
Attorney General Mike Hunter filed five motions last week with the commission, asking for an immediate reduction in customer rates from the state's leading utility companies.
OGE, one of the state's largest providers of electricity, has been proactive in the days leading up to the signing of the tax bill, according to Brian Alford, OGE's director of communications.
"We've been having these conversations with the commission for more than a month now about the potential impact of the tax bill," Alford said. "We were planning to ask for a rate review, but we've deferred the review for a few weeks until we get a better understanding of that tax reform."
Hunter requested customer rates be reduced by an amount reflecting the lower federal corporate income tax rates, according to a press release from the State AG office.
"These companies will begin seeing major savings after the tax cut is implemented on Monday," Hunter said in the release. "Oklahomans who are customers of these companies should immediately retain the benefits of the savings from the tax cut in the form of lower rates. We urge the OCC to act quickly and in the best interests of customers, not company shareholders."
Also in the motions, the attorney general is requesting the OCC protect customers' ability to receive excess accumulated deferred income tax, which is used to reflect utility companies' past use of tax breaks to defer tax bills. With lower tax rates enacted, a portion of accumulated deferred income tax would be unnecessary to cover future taxes — creating an "excess" portion, according to the release.

I've recently written a blog called 'A patient's understanding of pain', which explains some of the difficulties I have found fitting my experience of persistent pain into some of the published models of pain. Armed with my new understanding of MY pain I decided to think through what else I could do to further improve my pain situation. An area I felt worth exploring was my 'acceptance' of my persistent pain.
I don't seek to repeat all the contents of my previous blog here, but to understand this current blog fully I suggest you read my 'A patient's understanding of pain' blog first. It can be accessed by clicking HERE.
My persistent pain condition arises from a manual handling accident which took place around 10 years ago. I experienced a herniated disc which compressed my sciatic nerve. Around 18 months after the accident I underwent back surgery, but unfortunately my sciatic nerve was by then permanently damaged.
My sciatic nerve is sensitive and easily irritated. At the beginning of my pain journey I suffered severe back and severe neuropathic pain. I currently suffer with mainly neuropathic pain (at times severe) and some back pain.
The question of whether I have 'acceptance' of my persistent pain condition is a difficult one for me. Looking back to at least the first couple of years following my accident, I am sure that I didn't have 'acceptance'. I am convinced this was partly due to not being told by the many clinicians I saw that my condition was likely long term, if not permanent, or if they did say this not being told clearly enough or maybe sensitively enough in a way that I could take this message on board in the difficult situation I was in.
I completely understand that following my accident statistics would suggest there was a reasonable chance that my condition would resolve and so I understand why, for say the first 6 weeks, I wasn't being told that my condition might well persist long term. However, there must have come a time reasonably early on when the clinicians realised there was a good chance my condition would persist for at least the long term, if not for life.
I don't remember the possibility that my condition could be life long being communicated to me, and if it was then it wasn't communicated clearly enough, or in a way that at the time I could 'hear'. I think my 'acceptance' of my situation, and my ability to move forward with it, would have happened quicker if clinicians had been more open and honest with me from the beginning.
I seem to remember that after my back surgery 'failed' my rheumatologist began to talk to me about there being little else that could be done to help me, apart from maybe having a spinal cord stimulator implanted. This was around two years after my accident, and I think this was probably the start of the process of my 'acceptance' of my condition. She had not been my rheumatologist for long, and was sensitive and caring in her discussions with me.
Once I started to accept my condition was likely permanent at a cognitive level, of course I found this difficult at an emotional level. Very difficult.
I can't fully remember but I think 'acceptance' for me was quite a slow process. It didn't help that I was part of a lengthy assessment process for a spinal cord stimulator. This just seemed to put my life on hold in terms of understanding what my future might look like. I think I was in the spinal cord stimulator assessment pathway for well over two years,.
I have probably had full 'cognitive' acceptance of my condition for several years now. Cognitively I understand, and accept, that I have a permanently damaged sciatic nerve and some difficulties with my back, and that it is likely I will experience pain on at least a long-term basis, if not lifelong. Emotionally however I am not sure if I do have full acceptance, or ever will. I question whether anyone who lives in daily pain can have full emotional acceptance every day of their lives.
One of the interesting outcomes for me of thinking through my 'acceptance' is that it appears to me that there is a conundrum around acceptance and the predictive processing model of pain, and other explanations of pain. From everything I have read, heard and know from my own experience, 'accepting' your condition is important in terms of being able to move forward with your life and being able to live life to its full. However you could argue that this 'acceptance' may well act as an important 'predictive' factor which makes future pain more likely. After all, a large part of my 'acceptance' has necessarily involved a prediction of future pain!
An interesting conundrum!

Outlining is the first step to writing effectively. Many times, dissertation writers run into problems when they need to make the transition from researching their idea or their topic into actually writing about their topic. The number one reason this becomes a problem is because most dissertation writers do not take time to outline the topic prior to writing it. Outlining is a necessary step between research and writing, and here's why.
When you try to write directly from your thoughts or your notes, or some ideas that you have, automatically your writing is not going to follow a logical structure or a coherent pathway. What is going to happen then is you will sit down to write, and the writing will be extremely difficult. You will find yourself writing sentences and not know where you're trying to go with your concept. You will find yourself writing things, and you are not sure if they belong in the section that you're working. The best antidote to that kind of confusion is to actually take the time to create an outline before writing. It sounds basic; however, an outline can make a significant difference in the ease with which you write your dissertation.
So when we talk about outlining, what are we looking at? We are looking at a structured format whether or not it's the standard Roman Numeral I, II, and III or some type of a structured format that allows you to organize your ideas by theme or by section. For example, if you take your outline or checklist for what should be in your chapter II, it may look something like this: One section on what the research problem, another section on what are the five big themes in the literature that you need to be aware. Then, you will need to discover or relate your research hypotheses, and then you may need to talk about the limitations of the study. Again, everyone's literature review may be a little bit different, but I just want to give you an example of the kinds of sections that may be in at least some part of your dissertation, whether or not it's called the literature review.
The point being is that you have these natural divisions within your paper, and those divisions are actually mandated by your graduate school. So it's important to make sure that your writing into that structure as early as you can. What I would recommend is that you take a piece of paper and that you go ahead and write in the section headings for each of the requisite sections that must be in whatever chapter you are working on. What you would do is label the first section–Number 1, the second section–Number 2, the third section—Number 3, and so on. When you set up these sections, be sure to leave enough room on your word processing sheet or on your piece of paper so that you can actually go back in and write down some ideas or thoughts that would belong under each of those sections. For example, let's say that your first section is a review of the literature. Then what you would do is, you would break that section down further into subsections, and the subsections would relate to the important themes or topics that you need to cover in that area. So remember, that dissertation is not about just reporting what was what in the literature or reporting what was found. It's about reading it for yourself and then synthesizing it into something that is more of a summary or a broad overview of the literature.
That kind of synthetic thinking can be somewhat difficult to convey on paper, but it's actually what you do anyway. You've already created some idea about why your study is a good one to do. Now, it's just a matter of outlining it appropriately and actually writing it out so that the reader can understand it too. So, when you look at the major themes, think about what kinds of information has to be synthesized to create a coherent picture and fill out all of the sections of that chapter.
Your next step then is when you've identified the themes is to actually go back and one more time and jot down maybe two, or three, or five ideas under each of those themes. So, by building it up in increments, you all of a sudden go from some chapter headings or title headings (which don't mean anything to you) to actually an outline that is semi-filled out where you actually put in your own data or your own content in terms of the questions you need to answer. Then you build it out a little bit further by putting in more specifics to your project.
So that is how you take a generic outline process and really make it your own related directly to your own projects. Once you've done that, it will be important at that point to note any place where you need to do some additional research or where you may need to check facts and figures before proceeding. I would go ahead and just make a note in that section of the outline that you need to reread this item or re-review that chapter prior to writing. I would always start by writing what you know, so that once you've outlined a section and if you feel pretty comfortable that you can go ahead and write to it, I would go ahead and start there. If you get stuck in the writing, just refer back to your outline and be thinking about where it is you have to take this particular section or category–where you have to begin and where you have to end up, so that it flows into the next theme that you've already identified.
By taking the time to set up this kind of outline at the beginning, your writing process will be much easier and will proceed more smoothly.

There is a saying among glass artists: If you want to learn glassblowing, the first thing you'll have to learn is teamwork.
From the hot shop to the coldworking studio, the process of creating intricate glass sculpture tends to draw on the contributions of a whole team of assistants and technicians to bring an artist's ideas to fruition. For internationally renowned artist Preston Singletary, who translates traditional objects and figures derived from his Tlingit heritage into contemporary glass works, one of the key collaborators behind the scenes in his studio since its inception has been Joe BenVenuto.
"I first met Joe 20 years ago when we both worked for Benjamin Moore at the Pilchuck Glass School," Singletary tells me. "When I founded my own studio, Joe helped me build it. He builds equipment and designs glass studios."
BenVenuto doesn't just build studio equipment. He's also a glassblower and expert coldworker—the processes that don't require heat, such as grinding, cutting, and polishing—whose skills have put him in the service of basically everyone in the Northwest glass community at some time or another. He's also a beekeeper, a gardener, and an avid mushroom hunter who once drove his motorcycle to the Arctic Circle just to say that he'd been there.
Oh, and he's an accomplished artist in his own right, although he might be too humble to tell you about it. Using his skill with surface textures and his eye for natural detail, BenVenuto creates stunning glass pieces that look as though they are made of other substances, like earth, wood, and clay.
"Joe takes being a glass blower seriously and that love for the material, his craft, and lifelong learning shines through in everything he does," says friend and fellow artist Dawn McCord. "The attention he has put into his glass work inspires you to be a better maker, and the kindness he shows his community inspires you to be a better person."
Born in Pittsburgh, BenVenuto started working with glass nearly 30 years ago in Cincinnati. For the past two decades, he's been an integral part of the Northwest's highly collaborative, community-driven glass scene.
Last fall, BenVenuto was diagnosed with a rare, malignant brain tumor called an anaplastic astrocytoma. While there are treatments that can slow the growth of the cancer, there is no cure. As a result, the glass community is rallying around BenVenuto to help him cover the costs associated with his treatment—only a fraction of which is covered by his health insurance.
"I think many would agree 'unselfish' and 'generous' are two words that quickly come to mind when describing Joe B.," says Sean Albert, a glass artist who has spent years working alongside BenVenuto in Preston Singletary's studio. Albert is one of a growing list of artists who are donating work to a pop-up silent auction to benefit BenVenuto on Friday, July 28, at Traver Gallery. The impressive roster also includes Kiki Smith, Preston Singletary, Lino Tagliapietra, Dale Chihuly, Joe David, April Surgent, Ethan Stern, Jane Rosen, Ross Richmond, Dave Walters, John Kiley, CUD (Robbie Miller and John Drury), Kait Rhodes, Nancy Callan, Martin Blank, Dante Marioni, Jen Elek and Jeremy Bert, Richard Royal, Boyd Sugiki and Lisa Zerkowitz, Ben Moore, Dick Weiss and Cappy Thompson, and Chris Nowicki. The event is free, but due to limited space, Traver has requested that attendees contact the gallery to RSVP.
Support The Stranger
In addition to the silent auction, a GoFundMe has been spearheaded by Preston Singletary, outlining in detail the scope of BenVenuto's treatment plan. Singletary is hoping to raise $26,000 to assist in recovery from an intensive round of radiation and chemotherapy completed in January, as well as additional out-of-pocket therapies and living expenses to help BenVenuto take time off work to focus his energy on healing.
"The tumor will come back," Singletary tells me. "We don't know if it will be two months, two years, or longer, but I'm holding out hope for longer." According to BenVenuto's neurologist, tumors like his typically begin regrowth within two years, but recent MRI scans have been encouraging. Now his medical advice is for the artist to live his life and keep doing what he loves: working with his friends in the studio.
"Our community is very tight and supportive, and Joe is one of these guys who always goes out of his way to be there for everybody else," says Singletary. "He's been a terrific friend to me and a lot of people. So now we get to return that favor."

Dearest Ryksa-Euphorbia,
Heartfelt gratitude for all your notes which have caught up with me at my lodgings in the cabbage cellar. I savour one with every meal – a word with every exquisite leaf (or vice versa)!
Between meals I bravely venture out. I loathe the busy streets. I have no chance to admire the architectural grooves and ledges or the characteristic orange roof tiles. I am bustled and birled and so often carried along contrary to my will and intended direction! How I wish you were at my side, dearest Ryksa. I should be delighted to go wherever you propelled me.
Yours lovingly from unexpected places, Strachan Scrachich

Emotional intelligence is a great characteristic among people, but it takes time to achieve it. If you want to realize if you have attained emotion intelligence, there are a few things that you will observe that gives you signs that you have attained intelligence. Emotional intelligence is analyzing things around you and trying to live according to environment, and understanding how your actions will affect others. The following are some of the ways of telling if someone has got emotional intelligence.
They are go-getters and do not rely on others to push them to achieve their goals in life.
Focusing is part of an emotionally intelligent person's life and they will concentrate to achieve their goals without minding distractions from other things.
People who are aware of their needs and their goals in life, have emotional intelligence.
A person who has achieved The Lightworks emotional intelligent will think more about what they are feeling before they can react or act towards the feeling. When they are faced with situations, they take time to gather all the information that will help react to the right side and not randomly.
A person with emotional intelligence will not take all their time thinking of their past, but they try to make more out of their current situation. People with emotional intelligence will take the side of positive ideas and feelings and try to focus on them rather than the negative ones.
An emotionally intelligent person will try to learn how to become better from the negative comments they get, and not go down with them.
People who have achieved emotional intelligence, are slow to judge and very quick in understanding other people from their point of view in life.
A person with emotional intelligence do not try pulling others down in their success, but will lift them so that they can achieve together.
They know ego can cost great relationships, so they are very quick to say sorry even if sometimes they are not actually wrong. When you correct an emotionally intelligent person, they don't try to argue their way out or make excuse, but take the corrections positively to make improvements. Know more about coaching at https://www.dictionary.com/browse/coaching.
When you wrong them, they do not keep grudges but rather easily forgive and let go to allow space to move on.
Since sometimes they may seem so polite and some people will try to take advantage of that, but they are very strict and firm to their boundaries.
They know how to keep pledges and will always deliver it unless unavoidable thing happens.
People who have achieved emotional intelligence, will not try to dispute change but will always embrace it in a positive way.

Eun-Hye Grace Yi
Does Acculturation Matter? Advance Care Planning and End-of-Life Care Preferences Among Foreign-Born Older Immigrants in the U.S.
Using a sample from the National Health and Aging Trends Study from 2011–2012, Yi's study examined the association of factors affecting advance care planning and end-of-life treatment preferences in foreign-born immigrants. Yi found that whereas more than half of native whites completed end-of-life plans, older immigrants in three other racial groups showed completion rates of below 50 percent. Yi has completed a number of other research projects geared toward improving healthcare and quality of life for older adults, including investigating the use and development of user-friendly "apps" that provide dementia caregivers access to information and support; she also has written another paper examining the impact of the caregiver provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
Yi is a doctoral student at the Indiana University School of Social Work in Indianapolis, pursuing a doctorate through a program requiring multiple manuscript dissertations, and is a "conscientious emerging gerontology scholar," according to the PhD Program Director, Margaret Adamek.
