This is a little activity we've been playing for a while. Each time we play, we add more to the learning experience! When we first started playing, it was for the purpose of building finger muscles and hand-eye coordination, but as now we practice skills like recognizing colors, patterning, sorting by color, counting, graphing, estimating, comparing numbers, and more. The great thing about this activity is that there are few materials needed and it is quick and easy set-up!
Multi-Colored Beads – I used Pony Beads that were pink, yellow, orange, blue, white, and green.
Wooden Kabob Sticks – You will want to make sure the wooden sticks will fit through the hole of the beads that you use.
Play Dough – You will need the same color play dough as the beads that you choose to use if you are working on colors.
Plate/Bowl – The plate/bowl will keep the beads from rolling around and onto the floor while your students are working on this activity.
(Fine Motor Skills)
Provide each student with beads in a plate or bowl. Stick the pointy side of a kabob sticks down into play dough while still in the container. Students pick beads from their plate or bowl and push them down onto the kabob stick, but not to far as to push them into the play dough.
(Color Recognition and Patterning)
Students place beads on the kabob stick to create a pattern based on the colors of the beads. Have students name the colors and identify the name of their pattern.
(Color Recognition and Sorting)
For this activity, you will need play dough colors that match your bead choice colors. Line the play dough containers up and place one kabob stick in each. Students should name the color of the bead they choose from their plate or bowl and place it on the stick found in the matching play dough color.
(Graphing, Estimating, Comparing Numbers)
This activity continues on from the Color Recognition and Sorting activity found above. Once all the beads have been placed on the appropriate sticks, have students look at the beads in bar-graph-like fashion. Have them determine which bead color they have the most of and the least of. Have students make a guess to determine how many beads they have in each color.
(Counting and Comparing Numbers)
Once all the beads have been sorted by color, you can have students count how many beads are stacked for each color. Caleb counted two different ways. First, he tried counting just by starting at the bottom and pointing to each bead as he counted up the stick. When that proved difficult, we laid the play dough container on its side so Caleb could slide the beads one at a time to the right like an abacus. We didn't need to, but if there was a problem with beads sliding off the top, you could stick another container of play dough on the opposite end. Once we count all the sets of bead colors, we line them up from the smallest about to the largest about. We talk about which colors equaled and what that means when we're organizing them in order.
If you love these activities and would like a resource to help encourage your students to transfer their understandings from what they've learned to paper check out my product: Learning Beads (Counting & Cardinality).
I hope you are inspired to bring some fun to your learning activities by reading my blog. I enjoy sharing my ideas with you. I know teaching can feel overwhelming at times, especially if you look at Pinterest for all your ideas, so I like to share ideas on how to make learning fun and purposeful without a lot of preparation.
God Bless Your Learning Journey!

text: Thank you Woody. (Im glad you and others noticed it). As I said I can be a muppet at times but I felt that the ganging up and insults were getting out of hand. I was finding that every time I posted the usual suspects trolled my posts and as a group would mock me and the posts, almost bullying. I decided to put 2 on ignore which I believe will help the thread (from my point of view) as there will be less childish insults. I normally use this thread when Rangers aren't playing as the board can be a bit quiet. But it got so bad with the insults and mocking that I now just post memes and articles and don't bother to reply with much... maybe a one liner. I think after the 13th this thread will be quiet anyway and I will be back to the football threads, which is why we are here or should be.

New businesses often have a unique energy that grabs people's attention and entices them to devote themselves to making it a success. But it's easy to let it slip through your hands, says Ranjay Gulati, writing for Harvard Business Review.
The magical soul of a startup binds founders, employees and customers together as they embark on a shared journey of growth and innovation.
The problem is that, as an organisation develops, it becomes increasingly difficult to hold onto that special entrepreneurial spark. It can so easily be crushed in the face of professionalism and the demands of investors. There's a big temptation to give priority to structure and systems, and no one realises the company's spirit is under threat until it is almost gone.

Asian Tribune is published by E-LANKA MEDIA(PVT)Ltd. Vol. 20 No. 106
Amb. Teplitz: Answer these Asian Tribune questions on SOFA & be transparent
The Sri Lanka government-controlled Daily News May 27 quoted American ambassador Alaina Teplitz as saying, following her audience with Malwatte Buddhist Chapter Head Priest in Kandy, referring to the 'terms and conditions' of Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) discussions with the Government of Sri Lanka, that "both governments hoped to reach this agreement by safeguarding transparency", while noting "according to media reports problems and issues had cropped up regarding the agreement and if there were any problems and issues it was important to discuss them openly and reach a final agreement".
The Asian Tribune is ready for that open discourse.
This writer who worked in the U.S. diplomatic mission in Colombo occupying the top-most (FSN 11) grade in his capacity as the Foreign Service Political Specialist in the final decades of the last millennium and continues to use the accumulated knowledge and understanding of Washington's foreign policy toward global issues in his discourses with (non-Sri Lankan) think tanks and scholarly publications is well aware of the classified nature of sensitive issues during discussions between the two governments on the modalities of the SOFA.
SOFAs are multilateral or bilateral agreements that generally establish the framework under which U.S. military personnel operate in a foreign country and how domestic laws of the foreign jurisdiction apply toward U.S. personnel in that country. The understanding the Asian Tribune has is that SOFA is established through diplomatic correspondence and not on a formal 'pact' such as the ACSA which is extended from 8 pages (2007) to 82 page in 2017.
It was a delight to Asian Tribune when Ambassador Teplitz declared that she entertained 'transparency', and since the media – most recently Asian Tribune, and Island's staff writer Lasanda Kurukulasiriya in the May 26 edition – in her words - has raised "problems and issues it was important to discuss them openly".
Nevertheless, having had the experience while working in the US diplomatic mission, this writer strongly believes in the sensitivity of the SOFA discussions and such discourses need to be kept classified until final modalities are arranged.
However, as the ambassador wanted issues discussed in the open, Asian Tribune is delighted to bring the issues to light and get the 'diplomatic' response to what is raised here based on her diplomatic mission's 'classified' Note sent to Sri Lanka's Ministry of Foreign Affairs last August disclosed in our previous report - US troops in Sri Lanka: Classified US Dip Note reveals/http://www.asiantribune.com/node/92763.
First, if she so desired to discuss the 'modalities' of SOFA in the open why did her diplomatic mission send a 'classified' meaning Secret Note to the Sri Lanka MFA?
Let's see if she can 'diplomatically' respond to Asian Tribune to the following questions and issues, and whether she is truthful in her statement about transparency:
1. Doesn't SOFA bring American military presence on Sri Lanka soil and according to your statement to the media – which is recorded - following your audience with the Malwatte High Priest that the arrangement would be "to allow U.S. forces to tour the country to conduct combined security operations?"
2. As acknowledged by the 'classified' Diplomatic Note the two parties had had discussions on issues "related to United States' military personnel", and that the discussions centered on "U.S. personnel be accorded the privileges, exemptions, and immunities equivalent to those accorded to the administrative and technical staff of a diplomatic mission under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations'. Sri Lanka media reports indicate that Foreign Minister Tilak Marapona discussed the above issue during his May16-18 visit to Washington and that Sri Lanka was not in favor of granting special status to American military/USDOD personnel on Sri Lanka soil. This writer, based on his employment with the US federal government, is aware that Washington would have apprised US diplomatic mission in Colombo what transpired at Marapona-discussions with Secretary of State Pompeo and National Security Advisor John Bolton. Could Ambassador Teplitz be transparent to respond to the above issue as she has already stated that issues need to be discussed in the open? This is a normal diplomatic practice of exchanging cables between Washington and Colombo especially on serious issues.
3. Will the ambassador state whether the U.S. personnel are free to import and export items without being subject to Sri Lanka inspection. The personnel the Asian Tribune refers here are US military/DOD personnel who are allowed under SOFA to enter Sri Lanka soil and depart. In your Dip Note you wanted the SLMFA to acknowledge that fact.
4. Under SOFA arrangement, does the United States want 'US vessels and vehicles operated by or, at the time, exclusively for the U.S. Department of Defense may enter, exit, and move freely within the territory of Sri Lanka"? Could the ambassador clarify her statement in Kandy to the media – now on record – which is "to allow U.S. forces to tour the country to conduct combined security operations?" Could the ambassador comment on the following paragraph of her classified Dip Note: "The Embassy proposes that U.S. personnel shall have freedom of movement and access to and use of mutually agreed transportation, storage, training, and other facilities required in connection with activities under this Agreement."
5. Could the ambassador state whether the USG and GSL agreed to a clause in SOFA that "Aircrafts and vessels of the U.S. Government shall be free from boarding and inspection."
The Asian Tribune is not referring to 'diplomatic pouches' coming into Sri Lanka and going out as, under the Vienna Convention, they are exempt from inspection by the host country. The issue here is military hardware.
If and when the Asian Tribune get a response to the queries raised here, the general public in Sri Lanka is in a position to decide whether Sri Lanka's sovereignty could be infringed with the arrival of US military personnel and USDOD officials under SOFA. Is the ambassador, in answering the above queries, in a position to erase from the minds of the masses and the media that the SOFA violates the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Island of Sri Lanka which is strategically located in the Asia-Pacific Region which is utmost important to Washington's 'Pivot to Asia'

Fish Recipes For Everyone – Quick And Healthy
Studies have shown that eating cold water type of fish with high Omega-3 essential fatty acids twice a week significantly helps in the reduction of cardiovascular conditions. Still other research shows regular consumption of fish species rich in Omega-3 can prevent, relieve or treat joint pain, arthritis, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and some types of cancers. While some would think that fish might be too complicated to prepare or time-consuming to cook, fish recipes are actually not at all difficult to whip up. Fresh tuna, for instance, combined with simple ingredients such as garlic, tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, and full-fat dairy cheese (in moderation) make for a nutritious, mouthwatering lunch.
Although dwindling marine resources, over-fishing, and global warming might have dampened the appetite for fish, and other seafood as well, fish that are sustainable can still be enjoyed without guilt not only for their health benefits but also for their taste and nutritive value as well. Try some of these easy baked fish recipes for starters.
Fish Recipe #1: Baked Tilapia with Feta, Onions, Olives and Sweet Peppers
Tilapia is underrated and overlooked amongst fish species when it is just as nutritious as the more expensive salmon or halibut. Tilapia is an environment-friendly fish and doesn't rely on other fish for sustenance. This recipe is easy to prepare, won't dent the budge, and is procedurally healthy because it's baked.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and then spray a high quality olive/coconut oil on a ceramic or glass casserole dish with a good oil mister (we recommend Misto). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in non-stick skillet and sauté ½ cup each of seeded and chopped green and red sweet bell peppers, ¼ diced green and black olives, and ¼ cup diced red onions for 2-3 minutes. Set aside and put 4 medium-sized pieces of washed, rinsed and cleaned tilapia in the casserole dish, season each with salt and pepper to taste, and then spread small, equal amounts of 1 tablespoon each of mustard mayo over the tilapia's surface. Stir ¼ cup of Feta cheese into the sweet bell pepper and olive mixture and spread over tilapia's top evenly. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until topping turns brown.
Fish Recipe #2: Super Easy Crunchy Salmon
This is one of the easiest and most quick baked salmon recipes you can make using ingredients which you may already have in your pantry.
Adjust the broiler rack to 5-6 inches below element and preheat it to medium-high. Remove crusts of 2-3 pieces of whole wheat bread and tear them to make several pieces. Put bread pieces into food processor until they become coarse crumbs. Season 2 pieces of skinless and boneless salmon with Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste and set aside. Mix the breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard, ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon thyme together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread each bottom of the salmon with a thin layer of butter and then cook each on its buttered side in a medium skillet pan for 2 minutes each or until a crust has formed. Pile breadcrumb mixture and transfer to the broiler to cook 4-5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Mid Back Pain
Suffering from mid back pain?
Most mid back pain is postural and caused by sedentary lifestyle and repetitive activities of daily living. These generally respond very well to chiropractic care, postural correction and corrective exercise.
Costochondritis is inflammation of the costal cartilages that connect the ribs to the breastbone (sternum). It causes pain and tenderness that is often present for many weeks. Although most common in young teenagers, it is also often seen in young adults, and is more common in females.
Typically there is no known cause for costochondritis, although repeated minor trauma (such as coughing) and chest infection may be triggers in some cases. Certain inflammatory arthritides and fibromyalgia may also be a cause of costochondritis.
Pain is usually worse with moving and deep breathing.
This is usually made based on clinical examination and history. Other conditions such as angina and pneumonia should be considered, although usually the clinical picture is quite different. If required, an ECG or chest X-ray can rule out other possible conditions.
Costochondritis is painful, but it is not a serious condition. It settles with time and is helped with ice, cooling topical creams, chiropractic adjustments and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (if necessary).
Shingles is an important condition for chiropractors because it can give a sharp, burning pain for several days before the skin lesions appear and the diagnosis becomes obvious. Prior to the lesions appearing, a diagnosis of shingles may be difficult to make.
When the skin lesions eventually break out they form a blistering rash that follows the distribution of a nerve root. This is most commonly seen on one side of the back or chest.
You can only get Shingles if you have previously had Chicken Pox. The offending virus is called varicella-zoster virus, which lies dormant in certain nerve cells after the chicken pox.
The virus can come active again, usually at times when you are 'run down' or when the body is immune-compromised, by medications or disease.
An individual is contagious during the phase when the lesions first appear. A person that has never had chicken pox can catch chicken pox from an individual that has shingles.
In addition to the pain, other symptoms may include fatigue, joint pain, fever and a general ill feeling.
Shingles will normally settle without complications. Rarely the pain of shingles can last for months or even years in a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia.
If the virus resides in cranial nerves it may show up on the face and could be potentially dangerous for the eye and ear.
Anti-viral medication such as Acyclovir may be prescribed by your GP, though this is usually only effective when taken prior to the breakout of the skin lesions.

"On Saturday, we're going to walk downtown.
This Saturday, we're going to get ice cream.
By Saturday, I'll have done the math.
I'm so nervous that I'll have to talk a walk before our walk – a pre-walk, if you will – and maybe settle the butterflies in my stomach with a different flavor of ice cream (cookie dough is my go-to but mint chocolate chip is my anti-anxiety self-medication) and maybe then, I'll be able to process the math of it all.
After all, I've only ended up in a relationship with 18.4% of the guys I've gone on a date with – although that number might be lower if you distinguish between a "casual date" and "official date".
But if you exclude relationships less than 4 months in length, it's 12.7%. 1/3 of a year doesn't count, does it?
It gets sketchy if you also exclude long-distance relationships – it's 6%. I'm not bitter or discontent about it, but I am just trying to be realistic. I mean, that's what I do as a data analyst. I analyze the data.
Looking at my stats, it probably won't go anywhere except downtown and back again. Nevertheless, it just takes 1 person to make the stats entirely irrelevant – another annoying truth of the fragile fickleness of data analysis.
And if these are my thoughts over a chocolate cappuccino crunch muffin, I wonder what they'll be over ice cream?"
*This was adapted from an email from a sweet friend of mine who does have these plans for Saturday and who actually is a data analyst. I've tweaked it for humor's sake – although her thoughts brought me such joy when I read the original too.

This is ruse, a Russian ruse……
As I have reported before, the traffick of muslim settlers heading to Finland from Russia, is state sanctioned. The Kremlin skims cash from the mafia in exchange for allowing them to operate. There is no reason as to why Finns should allow any of these people to claim "asylum", simply turn them around and send them packing.
NOTE: During the height of the Cold War, Finns has a disgusting agreement with the Soviets, in that anyone seeking asylum from the communist state, had to be repatriated. And as far as I know, they did so without exception. Time to stop dancing to their tune and reject their pressure.
- "Assisted by Russian officials" [He took along two Indian men and the Russian man, who got out about 100 kilometres from the border. At the Russian passport control on January 17, two African men also got into the car. They were being assisted by people whom the driver believed to be Russian officials]
Medvedev: Russia won't send "excessive numbers" of asylum seekers to Finland
Ahead of a Friday evening meeting with Finnish President Niinistö, the Russian PM is quoted as saying that Moscow cannot stop asylum seekers from crossing into Finland.
Finnish President Sauli Niinistö meets with Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev on Friday evening on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. The two are likely to discuss the migrant situation along the countries' mutual border, where the number of arriving asylum seekers has been surging in recent weeks.
Medvedev was earlier in the day quoted as saying that Russia does not intend to prevent asylum seekers' movement toward the Finnish border.
The quote was posted on the Russian government website as part of its version of the premier's interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt – although the business daily's published interview does not include any mention of Finland. In the official transcript, Medvedev says that Russia cannot stop asylum seekers from crossing into Finland.
"No legal grounds" to stop migrants
He is also quoted as saying that Niinistö and Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipilä are very concerned about the situation, but that Russia does not have any legal grounds to stop those heading west into Finland. Medvedev met with Sipilä in St Petersburg in late January.
Medvedev notes that Russia is a party to the European Convention on Human Rights. He insisted that Russia has no bad intentions and does not plan to send excessive numbers of asylum seekers into Finland.
Finland's 1340-kilometre border with Russia is the EU's longest.

The Thermal Binder permanently binds your document together in one convenient booklet with a cover and backing. This provides a clean finish with no holes or punctures in your documents.
The whole process only takes 3 minutes to bind your document together, and the machine does all the work for you so you don't have to fuss with messy glue.

This simplicity makes for one-hand operation providing excellent results with minimal effort.
The Thermal Binder can operate for 30 minutes at a time, so you can produce multiple booklets. For smaller documents, more than one booklet can be bound per machine use.

Why not make more of your stay in South Africa with a visit to Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg Game Reserve and Sun City, or even Cape Town...
Game is abundant and visitors may travel about the conservancy on foot (there is no big 5 in the conservancy so this is safe to do) or in their own vehicles. There is no hunting on the conservancy.

Once on site you are in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by game. Fall asleep at night to the singing of the jackal, stroll around the veld by day in safety, walking with the giraffe, zebra and other game. Go game viewing in the morning, laze by the private pool in the afternoon then enjoy a sun downer and braai (BBQ), watching the game graze and listening to the jackal call.

Combine Spanish Computer Games With Science Education for Kids
Although the ability to communicate in Spanish on the computer has been possible since the widespread use of computers, the Internet
has made the practice open to more users. Years ago, the Internet, being developed in the United States was filled with English resources. However, today it truly is the World Wide Web, allowing for information to be sent out and received in many languages and in many ways. Doing activities like a scavenger hunt in Spanish online would have been difficult 10 years ago, as there simply were not a lot of websites in languages other than English. Today you can conduct one using resources in Spanish with no problem.
Kids can learn interactively by doing scavenger hunts for information in Spanish. Use sites that make them read for information or define words such as online dictionaries. Enchanted Learning is a fabulous resource for teachers and students. It offers a picture dictionary feature for kids to use to learn Spanish. Site membership costs $20, but its resources are vast.
Many information resources have caught on to the multilingual trend in the United States and have begun to provide their material in English and Spanish. World Book Encyclopedia is a good example of a reliable resource for finding information such as for research or just to learn about one's personal interests in Spanish. Go to World Book Online. There you will find several options on how to look up information in Spanish. One option is World Book Hallazgos. Prices are not cheap, but you can call their toll-free number for institutional pricing.
A really great and free service includes: https://www.123teachme.com
This site has plentiful themed activities and vocabulary, making the memorization of vocabulary a more concrete task. The site is colorful and easy to use for all ages.
Story Place Digital Library for Kids in Spanish is one of the best resources for young Spanish speakers and learners that I've seen. It has a Digital Library of stories in Spanish that can be read to the computer user in a friendly, easy-to-understand tone under the Cuentos Divertidos link. The site also features printable activities to practice and a list of other good books to read. This is a site that kids can enjoy while online and extend their learning into their school or public library later as they look for more to read in Spanish.
The potential for what children can learn in and about Spanish on the computer is infinite. However, their new knowledge does not need to be limited to the language itself, but can combine language learning with other subjects. If you have to prod your students to open their Science books, you need to integrate some online resources to whet their enthusiasm. Combining Science topics with language learning topics can greatly improve Spanish vocabulary and expand children's view of the language. See the resources section for a few examples.
Although most of the characters in the English and Spanish alphabet are the same, Spanish has a few additional letters as well as accents which can effect the accuracy of what a child types into the computer. For example, if they type in pena instead of peña, the meaning changes completely. Informational searches will be inaccurate, and they will lose time on their task, or learn incorrect information. Peña is a common Spanish last name, while pena means embarrassment or sin. The ñ character is not on the standard keyboard in the United States. Children can use this character, as well as the upside down question mark and reverse exclamation point as well as accented vowels in Word by going to the Insert Menu, and going down to Symbol. Then you will find a plethora of accented vowels, and punctuation marks that can be used to type in Spanish correctly. Demonstrate this to your class right from the start.
You can find anything you need in Spanish online by going to search engines in Spanish. Instead of Google.com, try www.google.com.mx. This is the Google used by Internet users in Mexico to find what they need. You can also change the language settings on other programs such as Word. Go to the Tools menu, and then drop down to Language. Then change the settings to Spanish. This way kids can practice reading and writing in Spanish and even creating stories and presentations.
Using the computer can be a fun way to practice learning Spanish. Today's world is one full of technology, and the more practice children get communicating effectively and learning the functions and benefits of computer use, the better. Using the computer to practice Spanish can open doors to children outside of just class activities like reading and writing, but also communicating directly with others.
Instead of looking for a chat room in Spanish for kid to use, which can lead to contact with unsavory people, you can contact other schools' Spanish classes or classes from schools in Spanish speaking countries to develop options for pen pals for your children. Make sure that this is highly supervised to ensure that your children are in contact with other children only and not giving out personal information.
Really, there is no limit to what students can learn in Spanish when they use computer games. As technology grows, so does the learning potential.

Since leaving Charlottesville in May, I've done big things. I watched an entire professional basketball game from start to finish, developed an inexplicable allergy to the Bay Area, went skinny dipping during beach week and, perhaps most notably, moved to Los Angeles and began my summer internship at an international insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting firm. I spend the balmy L.A. days waking up at six a.m., analyzing stock charts and 10-Ks, attending client visits and learning the ins-and-outs of insurance and risk management. And I love every moment of it.
While visiting one of our insurance carriers, the other employees, interns and I played a game in which we had to purchase coverages in preparation for a potential natural disaster. Someone then threw a dart to determine if a fire, tsunami, hurricane, etc. would occur. We gained or lost points depending on if we had the right coverages in place. Over the course of the game, my team spent a good deal of time discussing the best methods for and importance of diversifying and mitigating risk. The consensus was that risk is inherently "bad," and something to avoid at all costs. Like salmonella, or the boy that rode a motorcycle to high school.
But is risk really something that we should always avoid?
Risk is often impossible to prepare for in the first place, anyways. Much of it comes without warning — courtesy of fate — and astounds us with the ways in which it can introduce minor tragedies into our lives.
It was a drizzly day last semester when I was walking across Grounds with my friend, Madeline. I was done with classes for the day, the weekend loomed close on the horizon and I had nailed my most recent exam. Life seemed risk-free — until a disastrous combination of shoes without enough tread and a muddy spot of sidewalk got the best of me. In a horrifically egregious turn of fate, I was forced to walk down the Corner at rush hour, past my peers drinking pitchers of Bold Rock, while harboring a shameful and rather large mud stain on the back of my leggings.
It seems the only risks you can prepare for are the ones you take voluntarily. But I'd still disagree with the concept of avoiding all ostensible risk, because — and please brace for impact because I'm about to hit you with a massive cliché — with great risk comes great reward.
This internship seemed like a relatively sizable risk when I was grappling with my offer in November. I didn't know anyone my age in the city, so L.A. presented a gamble between an educational summer of fun and a dismal nine-week period of intense social isolation. Luckily for me, things worked out.
And life tends to do that, when you're willing to accept risk. The sheer intimidation of moving across the country for college left me so overwhelmed that I broke down crying in a Chili's, but it's left me with a college experience that's been better than I could've dreamed.
Yet despite the payoffs that risk-taking can earn us, we tend to face it with disgruntled trepidation rather than embracing it with open arms. Now, bear with me as I go full-nerd English major on you for a moment here. In her poem, "The Summer Day," Mary Oliver examines the minutiae of life, seems to question God and takes a scintillating look at a grasshopper. But then the poem zooms out and concludes with the question, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
What strikes me about this poem is how acutely criminal it seems to confine a "wild and precious life" to a static state. In two, tiny lines we learn how the natural state of the world is one filled with chances that deserve to be taken, and that life is meant to be an unrestrained, dynamic thing in which you seek purpose and wonder in all directions. To live without any liability, on one secure and straight path, would be a disservice to your own potential.
And while I'll admit that taking chances does open up the potential for failure, I'd take failure before inaction any day. Because while mistakes can often be viscerally painful to come to terms with, the lessons we learn from them seem to leave us discernibly better, more whole people as a result. What's worse to me is the thought, "I should have." I should have taken that hard class. I should have tried out for that team even though I knew I'd likely never make it. I should have told him that I liked him. I should have … taken a risk.
So, when it comes to business, I say, fine, mitigate risk to your heart's content. Implement loss control practices, buy insurance, hire a broker — the whole gambit. But when it comes to life, I'd argue that you should pitch yourself into the oblivion of risk with unfettered hope and blind optimism. Because everything works out in the end, and if you're willing to take a risk, life can be pretty incredible.

Because of an editing error, an article on Friday about Hurricane Irma's destruction in the Caribbean misstated the number of people in Haiti who have died from cholera since the disease's outbreak there in 2010. It is more than 10,000 people, not 104. (That is the number who have died this year, government records show.)
Because of an editing error, an article on Tuesday about Hurricane Harvey relief efforts led by the football star J. J. Watt and his mother, Connie, misstated the distance between Pewaukee and Janesville, Wis., two locations where relief supplies were stored. They are about 50 miles apart, not 30 miles.
An obituary on Monday about the guitarist and songwriter Walter Becker, who founded the band Steely Dan with Donald Fagen, referred incorrectly to the band China Crisis, whose album "Flaunt the Imperfection" Mr. Becker produced. It is English, not Scottish.

I am encouraged by the significant increase in the number of doctors entering GP training, and it is important this progress is built upon to meet the Government's target of getting an extra 5000 GPs in the workforce by 2020.
"GPs are the bedrock of our NHS and it is vital that we train the doctors West Oxfordshire needs – now and in the future."

RB fashion gave kudos to Aryeh Goretsky in Future changes to ESET NOD32 Antivirus
Not every requested feature can be added at once. ESET's project managers have to carefully look at the technical and market requirements for each request. Sometimes, the amount of work required to implement a requested feature may mean that it needs to be put off for a few version releases until enough engineering time can be budgeted to implement, test and maintain the feature. And sometimes, a feature might be requested that is just out of scope, offers little real-world benefit to customers or may even be against ESET's business practices.
In any case, what I would suggest is to provide as detailed a description as possible of the feature you are requesting, in order for ESET's project managers to make better sense of it, and a little patience, as not everything can be done at once.

Awesome little spot. Very swanky. Staff was polite and pleasant. Will definitely be back regularly.
Cortney Greene
Do not waste your time or money coming here or paying the membership fee! They wont even be around in a year. The owner was extremely rude and unprofessional. I never leave reviews but this one was worth the effort. Horrible experience.
Daniel Robins
I never usually write reviews online but I felt the need to warn people - save yourself the $20 annual fee and go somewhere else. This place is staffed by the most unprofessional staff Ive ever encountered at a hookah lounge. It was an embarrassment being there for the night.
Stacey Sherrell
We were looking for a place to have good conversation and hookah. We entered this place and were greeted with stares from the guests and the bartender. No one greeted us, offered to assist, or helped with anything. We stood around at the door and realized we were unwelcome. This is not a place to come for a good time, especially with poor customer service like what we experienced.

When people tell individuals with mental illness that "it's all in your head" – well, yes, it IS in their head. And did you know that the head is a part of the body? That the brain is an organ of the body? That the ways your brain cells work and function determines how YOU function and exist? In fact, without the brain, you wouldn't be a CONSCIOUS living human being. So yes, cancer and diabetes destroys the physical body and of course can have destructive effects on your mental well-being – but so can mental illness such as depression and anxiety because it IS your ENTIRE mental well-being. It IS your very existence. And you can't even tell people when it disables you from functioning in everyday life, at work, school, everywhere, because it's invisible to them, invisible to the naked eye. To them, it's an "excuse." To you, its life.
This is something that even I have had to come to terms with myself too, because I used to think that maybe it wasss my fault because it was just "all in my head." But it doesn't mean that it's not real – in fact, that's exactly what makes it real.

Nowadays mounting acrylic photo blocks on house walls have been in trending, if you or someone in your family have an artistic side then instead of making the art and then completely forgetting about it in your laptop or drawer hang it on your walls.
Creating acrylic prints does not only mean you are bound to just printing the images that you have drawn yourself, if you are a photographer who would like to display one of your best shots or an image that you found appealing online. So if you are wondering why you should hanging acrylic prints in your house rather than purchasing paintings from the stores, then in this article we will be talking about some of its benefits.
Best Gift Option
Deciding what to gift someone at times can be a very difficult decision to make. If you are looking to purchase a gift for someone special, then most people want to make sure that there is some sort of sentimental value attached to it.

House Appeal

When you are getting a bigger framed, you often would think that whether the frame would be durable or not. However, as compared to other framing options acrylic prints provide the most durability. Not only are they moisture resistant, but unless you are dropping them hard on the solid concrete, you do not have to worry about any significant damage. Moreover, since they are light in weight, they can easily be transported from one place to another as well.
These were some of the benefits of mounting decent acrylic prints on your walls. So, if you are looking to revamp your house in budget and completely transform its appearance, then you can never go wrong with acrylic prints in your home.

'The Walking Dead' season 9 will see the arrival of another infamous group of villains arrive from the comic books as The Whisperers join the cast…
Following the events in 'All Out War' where Rick Grimes finally put an end to Negan and his tyrannical reign, they survivors are now starting to put the pieces back together by rebuilding all of their various communities.
While there's some infighting that's to be expected, for the most part everybody is working towards a common goal to rebuild a world worth living in. Unfortunately, those plans will run into a major obstacle course when a group known as The Whisperers finally arrive on 'The Walking Dead'.
Based on characters from Robert Kirkman's comic book series, The Whisperers are a group of humans who wear skin suits of the dead so that they are able to walk amongst a herd of zombies and lead them wherever they want to go. The group communicates with each other through hushed whispers so they don't alert the dead to their presence, thus the name of their group.
The leader is a woman named Alpha, who will be played by Samantha Morton, while her No. 2 in charge Beta will be portrayed by 'Sons of Anarchy' veteran Ryan Hurst.
As of now it's not clear when The Whisperers will arrive but they were already teased during 'The Walking Dead' season 5 trailer and show runner Angela Kang further teased the group when speaking on 'Talking Dead' on Sunday night following the season 9 debut.
"I'm really excited for the fans to see the Whisperers," Kang said. "They are scary MF'ers and Greg [Nicotero] has done some incredible work. I got photos, he texted me photos of things he was working on and I literally squealed in the office. I'm so excited."
In the comics, The Whisperers' arrival is marked by several major deaths from well known characters but the television series has often veered off that course so it's impossible to know exactly what kind of impact they will make when they first arrive.
What we know for certain is The Whisperers are coming and they will play a major part in 'The Walking Dead' season 9.
'The Walking Dead' returns with a brand new episode next Sunday night at 9pm ET on AMC.

Online Sports Betting – Legal or Not – Why People Continue to Bet Despite Legalization Issues
Sports gambling online is one of the absolute most popular types of internet gambling these days. The truth is that you could see that on the web sports gambling sites and bettors are climbing. And in the USA struggle with all the issue of the legality of online sports gambling. The solution have not however been given specifically or remains under going several studies and legal battles. While many players or people are gambling on line in document numbers.
What is the main reason people are continuing to gamble online once the clear answer of legality remains not decided? To answer this question, check out the emotional factors is essential for why folks continue to be sports betting online despite its own blurry legalization problems.
To begin with, folks watch the others gambling on line and also enjoying the excitement of betting from the contentment of of their home or cell phone สมัคร UFABET. They see them win money and also they want also too. Together
the existing economy now, folks are generally seeking to earn extra money, which must seem like an simple way. They never consider the probability of dropping weight. After all gambling is quite effortless, all you have to do is study the trends and the odds and also place a wager and you are in your own way.
Second, a potential reason is that the effect of"beginner's luck" to time bettors. In the event that you are not acquainted with the definition of beginner's luck, this is the example whereby a person strives to do something to the first time and become very effective in accomplishing the endeavor. Ergo, if a person has undergone this, then there's just a good likelihood that this person may sense very lucky and may always do on the web gaming.
Third, a person who has dropped money gambling consistently believe they can acquire back it if offered the chance, which means, the man or woman may possibly well not stop since the opportunity for winning remains there. Every day brings a new chance to win. Who understands this can be your lucky day and you don't want to miss on the ability of successful enormous. This really is one reason why folks are unable to restrain their gaming. They'll proceed to bet until they eventually triumph. In addition, as soon as they winthey will gamble again in the expectation of exactly the very same result or luck.
Fourth, online bettors understand that online gambling websites give incentives in the event that you're a first-time bettor or redeposit to your account. With this particular incentive, the online sport book sites, encourage or entice the bettor to register up or re deposit. This really is extremely powerful as a property based casino or bookie won't provide you free money to bet. The internet sports book websites do. Cool tough money to bet along with a deposit.
In the end, internet bettors may've never seen some real sanctions or punishment of gamblers wagering on the web. For this reason, bettors are not deterred from sports betting betting online due to the fact no you have confronted some significant legal troubles with this kind of difficulty. They've seen people get arrested for putting a bet with a bookie and they see that the bookies become arrested for accepting those bets. The sights really are real and also can give bettors a fake awareness of security about wagering online. Also, the Majority of the websites take US sports publication gamblers unlike some On-line casinos and poker rooms
These are a few of the feasible reasons why bettors are nevertheless wagering at on-line sportsbook internet sites in spite of the dilemma of on-line gambling legalization still pending or inside a gray subject of regulations enforcement. There are most likely lots of other reasons why folks are wagering on line, but we recorded a number of the psychological reasons.

White House Breach Blamed On Russian Hackers
The White House network breach was carried out by hackers "likely working" for the Russian government
The Russian government has allegedly hacked into the White House's computer systems, according to a report on CNN, which claims the hackers first penetrated the State Department's email system last October and were "likely working for the Russian government".
Using their foothold in the State Department's computer network, the hackers then apparently managed to hack into the White House computer system, namely the unclassified Executive Office of the President network.
Whilst the attackers apparently did not hack into any classified systems at the White House, they were able to obtain sensitive information about President Obama, including his private schedule.
White House Down
CNN quoted federal law enforcement, intelligence and congressional officials who were briefed on the investigation, as saying that the hack of the State email system was the "worst ever" cyberattack intrusion against a federal agency.
Investigators were apparently been able to find signs that point to the Russian government being behind the attack, despite doubts from security experts about the ability to attribute the attack to a particular country.
Expert Doubts
"Once an attacker gets into your systems it can be notoriously difficult to get them out, particularly when your network and internal security controls allow the attacker to move around on your network without being noticed," said Dwayne Melancon, CTO Tripwire.
"There are a few significant challenges in breaches like this," Melancon added. "First, attribution is difficult. A savvy attacker can not only cover their tracks, they can often mislead you into believing someone else is behind the attacks. I hope the White House has strong evidence to claim Russian responsibility."
This point was echoed by Tripwire's senior security analyst, Ken Westin.
"The intrusion into the unclassified State Department network was assumed to be Russian by many in the government and security community," said Westin. "As portions of the network were shut down for long periods of time for extensive security upgrades many speculated that the extent of the intrusion may have been more severe than originally thought."
"The new insights into the investigation with the US government implicating Russia would imply that there is strong evidence that the Russian government was involved," said Westin. "However, given the sensitive and confidential nature of US intelligence agencies methods only a few will have access to the actual evidence which may raise suspicions as to the accuracy and veracity of the accusation."
Westin pointed to the coincidence that this "naming and shaming" of Russia coming hot on the heels of President Obama declaring a national emergency and issuing an executive order regarding cyberthreats.
Cyber sanctions
Earlier this month, Obama launched a punishment scheme usually reserved for terrorist organisations and rogue states. He created a US sanctions program, which for the first time ever, will use sanctions to financially punish individuals and groups outside the United States who are involved with malicious cyber attacks.
The US has previously "named and shamed" a number of countries for allegedly carrying out cyber attacks. Last May for example, the US took the unprecedented step of filing criminal indictments against members of Unit 61398 of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA).
The United States has also publicly blamed the devastating hack on Sony Pictures on hackers working for the North Korean government, despite expert doubts at the finger pointing.

Those injured through negligence often feel that they have lost control over their lives. Even when the injury seemed to occur accidentally, many Pennsylvania residents continue to feel victimized while also dealing with the pain and physical harm they suffered. Few injuries occur without a cause, which means that if you look deep enough, it is possible to uncover the negligent party in injury cases.
Guidelines for creating a parenting plan
As Pennsylvania parents divorce, one of the first things they will have to do is create a parenting plan. While this can be daunting, the parents can work together and create a plan that works well and meets many of the needs expressed by the parents and the children.
Factors that make it difficult for truckers to avoid accidents
Sometimes, truck accident victims may feel as if the driver of the big rig that caused their injuries did nothing to avoid the collision. In some cases, victims may even feel that the trucker meant to crash into their vehicle. However, truck drivers don't want to have an accident or hurt a motorist.
Daydreaming behind the wheel is a danger
Many Bucks County motorists have heard a great deal about the dangers of texting while driving. Using a phone while behind the wheel is undoubtedly a bad idea, and these technological distractions have been linked to a number of serious accidents. However, while a good amount of legislative attention, research and technological development has gone into reducing the likelihood of distracted driving due to mobile devices, other forms of distraction remain a significant threat. One of the most common causes of serious car accidents is driving while daydreaming, inattentive or simply lost in thought.
Avoiding a messy high-asset divorce
Not too many divorcing couples in Pennsylvania have the kind of assets that Jeff Bezos and his soon-to-be-ex-wife have. However, divorces involving significant wealth can still present certain challenges not common with more traditional splits. In early 2019, the Amazon founder and his spouse jointly announced plans to end their 25-year marriage. High-profile couples like this may be able to avoid a message divorce by being proactive during the process.
Product liability cases: A look at how defendants may respond
As you know, there are two sides to every story that comes before a court of law. Giving each side a voice is one of the most important cornerstones of the judicial system in Pennsylvania. Those harmed by a dangerous or defective product may feel it is unfair to allow manufacturers to defend themselves, but the right to do so is what helps to make our nation a wonderful place to live.
Pennsylvania resident dead after motor vehicle accident
When a new year begins, everyone is filled with a sense of joy and excitement about the coming 12 months. No one expects a tragedy to strike and rob a family of a beloved member of the clan. Unfortunately, not all new years begin they way people expect. Any number of tragedies can mar what is otherwise a happy time, including fatal motor vehicle accidents.
The 3 most common injuries for motorcycle drivers
Motorcycles are an efficient way to get around. They are compact, easy to park, use very little fuel and are exhilarating to ride on a beautiful day.
Keeping dads involved in a child's life after a divorce
Fathers in Pennsylvania can take comfort in knowing that courts today typically give equal weight to the roles of both parents in a child's life when making custody decisions. Even so, it's still common for children to end up living with the mother if parents aren't able to make co-parenting or joint custody work. However, there are some steps that fathers looking to stay involved in their child's life may be able to take to ensure that their rights are upheld during and after a divorce.
A personal injury often comes with long-lasting consequences
Suffering a serious personal injury typically has a devastating effect on the injured party, and it can impact the victim's entire family as well. Along with the pain and trauma associated with a serious injury, victims and family members suffer a range of consequences. We wanted to take a moment to talk about these issues to help prepare you should you or someone in your family suffer an accidental injury due to someone else's negligence.
Finding the best way to divide a co-owned home
When a couple is contemplating divorce in Pennsylvania, they will likely begin to think about the assets they own and strive to determine the best way to divide these assets. With some things, such as savings accounts, it's pretty cut and dry because they can be divided equally. Other things, like a co-owned house, cannot quickly be divided in two. The option exists to sell the home and then divide the profits. However, personal attachments to the home, wanting to raise a family in the home, and one's inability to pay for the home on a single income could impact that decision.

I'm still achy, but not as bad. Or maybe it's because I took more ibuprofen. Either way, I'm really glad that today was Tony's day off so he took care of #5 while I dozed my day away. I feel bad about it because I know he hasn't been feeling well either (his is sinus issues, so it's not whatever I'm working on).
I have to remember to pick up some puzzle glue next time I'm in town so we can coat the puzzle and frame it. #1 liked the design and wants it on her wall. I hated how hard it was to put together and don't feel the need to assemble it again. Now we just need to find a frame of appropriate size.
We are officially on kitten watch with both Floki and Zombie due any day now. I'm guessing Floki will go first and have four, and then Zombie will have two. The kids are all mixed in their votes. We will just have to wait and see.
The other day I asked my husband if he'd bought my Christmas gift yet. He said no. I told him my top three requests are for a good digital camera, a subscription to Curiosity (think Netflix but all documentaries), and a gift certificate to Baker Creek. He said "So you don't want a puppy anymore?"
Quick back story, after Mazikeen passed away, I looked at puppies in ads. My heart was broken. Moose, having been an only-dog thus far, was suddenly thrown into single-dogdom again and wasn't happy. I told Tony that ever since I was a child I'd always wanted that stereotypical movie scene where I'm presented with a surprise puppy on Christmas morning... However, my parents, being the reasonable and respectable people they are, knew well that pets are not gifts and should never be given as a gift... Which is why I never got one. I told him I don't think he'd be able to pull off the surprise aspect of it, since he never leaves the house without a place to go, and I doubt he'd be able to track down a reasonably priced puppy anyway. We're still paying the bills for Mazikeen's last vet visit. Besides that, I know he wants another Saint Bernard and we will start looking for one in the spring when potty training will be easier. Getting me a Christmas puppy would mean we'd have three dogs in the house - when we really had only planned on having two. And winter potty training is awful.
Back to my story though - he asked if I no longer wanted a puppy. I replied with "I know you're not going to get me a puppy anyway, so why let it take up one of my top three spots? Let's be reasonable." I would love to get a puppy for Christmas. I would. But let's be honest here. I'm the one who's always told people not to do that. That if you want to give a pet for Christmas, buy the supplies or wrap a gift certificate for the pet store, and let the person pick their own pet. I've also gotten almost all of my pets as rescues. Usually unexpected, unwanted, and definitely not something we went to a shelter to look for... Ours have been those I took in as rescues to fix up and find homes for, those left on my doorstep, those picked up as strays who's owners never came for them, and those family and friends couldn't keep anymore. Only a few of our pets have ever been from actual breeders. It seems foreign to me to want to purchase a puppy for Christmas. Perhaps it's still the sadness in my heart for having been immersed in the love of two canine companions for a few months, and then losing one. I guess for now I'm trying to tell my heart that it's OK to wait until spring. Potty training will be easier, the kids will be home after school is out to better bond with a new pup, and then we can get the breed that Tony wants. On the flip side, if my some magical stroke of good fortune, my husband is able to find a surprise puppy for me, I would love it with all of my heart. I just don't want to get my hopes up and then feel disappointed on Christmas when there is no puppy for me.
For some reason tonight's blog has sunk me into a bit of an emotional quagmire. Maybe it's thinking of Maize, or thoughts of previous rough Christmas times. My beloved special needs cat, Nermal, passed right before Christmas several years ago, the old schoolmate of mine that committed suicide almost two years ago - his birthday was right before Christmas, and every Christmas has been a bit rough since my mother-in-law passed away). Whatever it is, I need to take a breather, get some more sleep, and hopefully tomorrow I will wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Gardens and Art come together at the Mill Creek Garden Tour & Artisan Market 2019, Saturday, June 22nd. When you enter the six featured gardens, you'll find a creative artist selling garden-related wares.
Graciously, the artists are donating a percentage of their sales to Mill Creek Garden Club's Giving through Gardening Grant Program—it's a win-win for all.
A Charter Member of Garden Club, M. Dianne Astrof, an Impressionist artist who fell in love with our Pacific NW scenery is selling her beautiful Art Note Cards and small Art Prints. A bit of Monet on the Mill Creek Garden Tour!
Garden Club member and business owner, Lynn Menne of Lynn's Gift and Garden has created special mosaic Love Rocks and beaded Fairy Wands. She'll bring miniatures and garden bling too. Lynn is a Tour Sponsor, check out her ad in our Tour Brochure.
Coming from Whidbey Island is Freeland Art Shack - Renee Boyce, who brings her unique hand painted Mandala Stones and just for our Tour, Renee has created mini-flower pots for the garden-loving crowd! They are mesmerizing!
A top seller last year, Bayview Welding and Art's Tom and Camille Williams are selling their popular Bolt Bees, torch-cut house numbers and other functional art for the garden. Tom, who was trained as a welder in the U. S. Navy, credits his success to steady hands and an artist's eye.
Glass work for gardens continues to reap oohs and ahhs and Garden Club is thrilled to have Marcus Harper of Marcus Harper GlassWorks bring his glass poppies, reeds, agaves and water feature add-ons. Marcus appeared at the NW Flower & Garden Festival 2019 and Sorticulture.
Heading down from the Skagit Valley for her first Tour appearance is stepping-stone maker, Jenn VanBerkum of MilkHouse Stepping Stones. Her family dairy-farming history was the inspiration for her business name. Don't miss these hand-mixed concrete creations.
From Monroe, we welcome returnee, a Master Gardener who happens to love making pottery—it's Martha Dankers of Mpressions by Nature. Her work combines her love of plants and clay. She creates pieces with enduring beauty and elegance.
When Dacia Emmel of WHEN PIGS FLY/EMMEL ARTS sailed into retirement she embraced the freedom to do what she wanted. She took several jewelry-making classes and never looked back. Every plant needs a little sparkle to look its best!
Connie Rae Munford of Window Lit Art Studios/Fused Glass Art, who started as a graphic designer, found herself intrigued by fused glass. Inspired by the beauty of the Pacific NW, she brings glass pieces with stakes that can be used in the garden or plant containers.
K & K Wood Product's Kathy and Keith Dalluge return to our Tour with their garden products made from recycled cedar fences. Kathy is affectionately known as the "Birdhouse Lady," and Keith says the "fences speak to me, then I go from there." Another top seller from last year!
That's quite the array of creative people for your shopping pleasure. Shop as you Tour the six featured gardens, open 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on June 22nd.

My daughter went to a moving sale one day and called me and asked if she bought this dresser set would we( I ) be able to paint it because she did not think the color would go with her décor. I said that it should not be a problem. So she purchased all them for $75.00. It took two trips to bring the dressers to Dad's garage.The pieces were pretty chipped up so I got out my orbital sander and started to sand not thinking that I was going to strip them completely but, just remove enough paint to change color and get rid of the chipped spots. After a bit of sanding I realized these were fairly nice solid wood pieces. So after stripping the first and smallest one I decided to do them all. Three days later they were all naked. She decide on gunstock stain so a day to stain and let dry. Then some water born clear and this is the final product. She made out like a bandit! she ended up with a set of dressers worth about $1500.00 to $2000.00 or more set. This was well worth the time ( one week total ) and it gave her retired Dad a project to keep him occupied for a week!

Bellaire council recognizes proclamations, moves forward on bond sale
At a sparsely attended Bellaire city council meeting on Monday, June 4, two proclamation were recognized and the council voted to move ahead with preparations for a bond sale.
Mayor Andrew Friedberg recognized and congratulated Bellaire resident Megan Frankel for receiving the President's Volunteer Service Gold Award. Megan is a student at The Kinkaid School and has amassed more than 350 volunteer service hours.
Then Friedberg proclaimed June 12 as National Time Out Day, which refers to the work that perioperative nurses do to make sure medical teams pause before they start an operation or another invasive procedure. This helps to ensure that everyone is together, on the same page and knows the plan. Several perioperative nurses were on-hand to accept the recognition.
Finally, without any deliberation, the council members voted unanimously to give City Manager Paul Hofmann the go-ahead to proceed toward a bond sale of $4 million from the $10 million of 2016 bonds. Next steps would include a meeting in July ahead of approving the bonds on Aug. 5. The remaining $6 million would likely face the same approval in summer 2020.
According to the city of Bellaire, "The selling of bonds authorized in November 2016 has remained on schedule, with the exception of the final bond sales, for Proposition 1 for streets, drainage and sidewalk projects, and Proposition 3 for water and wastewater line projects. This change did not alter the schedule for any of the three water and wastewater line projects. There is a total of ($4 million) needed to fund the third and final water and wastewater line project that is anticipated for construction in the fall of 2019."
The remaining $6 million worth of bonds is for streets, drainage and sidewalks.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council is scheduled for Monday, June 17.

Uzbekistan Destinations
Once a hermetic country with very strict visa policies for foreigners, Uzbekistan is slowly opening its borders to show the world the majesty of what used to be the core and center of the ancient Silk Road, a country filled with impressive shrines, mosques and perfectly shaped old cities.
It's a snippet of the Silk Road's best bits…
If you're intrigued by the ancient Silk Road but don't have the time to travel its length from China to Turkey, you'll find three of the route's most important cities in Uzbekistan. Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand were key stop-offs for traders, and have all been painstakingly restored to their former glory – think glittering minarets, voluptuous domes and hypnotic mosaics. With a little planning, you can squeeze them all into a week, making this the perfect bite of Silk Road splendor.
It's a bit like time travel
The walled city of Khiva is a living museum, protected by Unesco but still populated by Uzbek families and businesses. It was founded in the 6th century, and thrived as a Silk Road trading city – with increasingly ornate mosques, mausoleums and madrassas (religious schools) added to its labyrinth of streets, all of which have been artfully restored. It's a popular spot for wedding parties, who visit for photo opportunities under the vibrant turquoise mosaics, and its streets are lined with souvenir stalls hawking everything from handmade teapots to traditional woolly hats. But after 5pm, the local tourists head home – leaving you to explore the city in peace. Wander its streets while swallows swoop in the fading light, its mud brick walls rosy under a pinky sky. It is easy to imagine you're in the 12th century.
You'll have the place to yourself
Uzbek wedding parties embark on grand tours of Uzbekistan's ancient cities, armed with camera crews and copious relatives – but aside from them, you'll only find a handful of tourists in every major site. It's refreshing to visit a place where domestic tourists far outnumber international ones, and the wedding groups are always in the party spirit. The novelty of seeing a bride posing in full white gown regalia beneath a technicolour 10th-century minaret never wears off.
It's easier to get around than you think
The transport options have improved somewhat since the days of Silk Road camel trekking. All of Uzbekistan's main draws are served by low-cost domestic flights, great road links and high-speed trains. You'll find shared taxis and bus services in all the cities, plus Tashkent has a decent metro with some wonderfully ornate stations.
It's an amazing place for shopping
Timur and his descendants called on ceramicists, artists and architects from all over the empire to beautify the cities of Khiva, Samarkand and Bukhara. Their mosques were adorned with the finest murals and mosaics, with techniques and materials imported mainly from Persia. Happily, Uzbekistan's artisan skills live on and you can pick up handmade ceramics, needlework, silk cloth and miniaturist paintings for just a few dollars in most madrassas, which have largely been transformed into bazaars.
It's surprisingly cosmopolitan
The cities of Tashkent and Bukhara in particular have a rather European vibe – think lakeside beer gardens, landscaped public parks, and cafés next to most of the main tourist attractions. Fuelled by ice-cream and endless pots of green tea, sightseeing in Uzbekistan is all rather jovial.
The food is… interesting
Not for nothing people from all over the world like and honor the Uzbek cuisine. It is one of the most savoury and various in tastes cuisine in Central Asia. Only names of appetizing Uzbek food make one's mouth water. Plov, manti, shurpa, shashlik, lagman, samsa have such wonderful smell that one can't resist the temptation to taste all these dishes piping hot.
