The statistics for Alzheimer's disease are staggering with an estimated 5.2 million Americans having the disease in 2014, including approximately 200,000 individuals younger than 65 who have younger-onset Alzheimer's.
Unfortunately, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or stop the disease, the number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia conditions will escalate rapidly as the baby boom generation ages.
These sobering statistics require that we are prepared in terms of estate planning in the event a loved one is diagnosed with dementia. The Alzheimer's Association says that dementia is a general term for the loss of memory, decision-making and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia.
If a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, you need to help them make legal plans. It is recommended that you begin as soon as possible, so that the person with dementia will be able to participate.
Before a person with dementia signs a legal document, it should be determined that they understand the document and the consequences of signing it. A medical professional may be able to assist in determining the level of a person's mental ability.
It is also important to review all legal documents signed by the person before they were diagnosed with dementia. This includes living wills, trusts and powers of attorney. It is important that these documents are reviewed with another individual for corrections and updates.
Among the items that you should discuss with your lawyer include:
Plans for health care and long-term care, including living wills
A living will is a legal document, by which a person makes known his or her wishes regarding life-sustaining or life-prolonging medical procedures, such as resuscitation. A living will can also be called an advance directive, health care directive, advance medical directive, or physician's directive.
Plans for finances and property, including wills and trusts
A will is a written legal declaration by which a person makes known how their property will be disposed of upon their death. Property includes not only real property (land, house, condominium, business storefront, etc.), but also personal property such as jewelry, art, sports memorabilia, even pets.
Trusts come in all forms and can be straightforward or extremely complex. Simple stated, trusts are a financial arrangement that allows a third party (the trustee) to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary. How and when the assets pass to the beneficiary can be controlled by establishing a trust.
Designation of another individual who will make decisions on behalf of the person with dementia, including power of attorney
Power of attorney is a legal document by which Person A gives Person B the power to make decisions about their legal and/or financial affairs upon Person A's incapacitation. Powers of Attorney expire upon your death.
My goal is to make estate planning as easy and painless as possible. I even provide you with a guide to get you started on the estate planning pathway. Call me at (732) 444-6406 or write me an email to schedule a meeting. I offer flexible appointment times and my fees are reasonable. For most people who don't require a lot of special planning, one flat fee covers everything.
The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll have the peace of mind in knowing that your family will be cared for when the inevitable happens.

Holm, LLC, a New Jersey Limited Liability Company, is a full-service, general practice law firm located in Monmouth County, N.J., and serving clients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

2016 University of Minnesota Cooperative Black Cutworm Trapping Network Report #8
This newsletter is also available in a print-friendly pdf format: 2016 Black Cutworm Network Issue 8
We have the just received our first report of black cutworm damage to corn. Rick Gilbertson had a field of corn treated in Benton County. Larvae 1/2 inch long and were starting to cut corn on 5/18. This field was alfalfa in 2015 and has some plants that had escaped tillage last fall.
We did not have a trap in Benton County in 2016, but the timing and location of this flight correspond with the late March flight in Swift County to the SW and rain. I would be diligent while scouting corn the next week. While we did not catch large numbers of moths outside Swift county, this system on the night of March 27-28 could have dropped moths along a line from the SW corner of MN through the Twin cities with Swift, Stearns and Benton Counties lying on the northern edge of the system. Not all traps were operating at this early date.
Leaf feeding from all early flights should now be visible on weeds or emerged corn. (Table 1)
|Date* of significant trap capture
|Trap location
|Degree-days/estimated development stage
|Projected date to corn cutting
|Swift Co.
|316 DD/4th instar cutting
|Rock Co.
|282 DD/leaf feeding
|Murray Co.
|189 DD/leaf feeding
|Sibley Co.
|186 DD/leaf feeding
|Rock Co.
|180 DD/start leaf feeding
|Meeker Co.
|152 DD/leaf feeding
|* first date if two night significant flight
|Degree-day accumulations to 5/19/16
Table 1. Dates and locations of significant 2016 captures of black cutworm moths in 2015. The estimate of projected cutting date is based on accumulating 300 Degree Days (base 50ºF) after a significant capture. It uses 30-year historical temperature data for projecting future degree-days. Projections run with temperature data current to May 19, 2016. Source: https://mygeohub.org/groups/u2u/gdd
4th stage larvae are large enough to cut small corn, sometimes at or below the growing point. This occurs at approximately 311 degree-days base 50°F after the biofix (significant moth flight) observations of black cutworm larvae this spring let us know. After 640 degree-days, the larvae pupate. After the 5-6 leaf stage, corn is too large to cut, but large larvae sometimes tunnel into the growing point of up to 6 leaf corn.
Based on the trap captures, I suspect damaging black cutworm populations will be very spotty. While significant moth captures have been spotty this spring, moth captures are way above those in 2015.
The excitement has just begun. Please let us know of any economic infestations you become aware of.
What factors increase risk for black cutworm damage?
A reminder on where to focus scouting efforts for people like Bruce who can' t remember which pile on the desk he put things.
1) Moths arriving into the area in large numbers to lay eggs is an obvious driver. This is one reason why we run the pheromone traps.
2) Soybean residue seems to be attractive to egg-laying moths, and some reduced tillage systems, ridge till for example, are especially attractive.
3) Winter annual and early spring weeds attract egg-laying moths
4) Low lying portions of fields often have heavier infestations, possibly influenced by nighttime airflows.
5) Moths arriving earlier with respect to spring tillage and planting increase risk. Late planted corn, with respect to moth arrival, is also at more risk because it is exposed to larger larvae when small. Knowing when fights arrive is the second reason we run the pheromone traps.
6) Corn hybrids without the Herculex (Cry 1F) or Viptera (Vip3a) above ground Bt traits are more susceptible to feeding damage by cutworm larvae. However, very large populations of large cutworm larvae might still damage small corn with these traits.
7) Seed applied and at-plant corn rootworm insecticides provide varying levels of cutworm feeding protection.
Many thanks to our 2016 cooperators!

Book industry's 'imagineers' celebrated
HarperCollins c.e.o. Charlie Redmayne, Furniss Lawton agent Rowan Lawton and Kiss Me First author Lottie Moggach are three of the new names included on the Evening Standard's Power 1,000, the newspaper's annual list of influential Londoners.
Sceptre editorial director Drummond Muir, Penguin cookery editor Lindsey Evans, and Short Books co-founder Rebecca Nicolson are new additions from publishers to feature in the list's "Imagineers and Literati" section. Harvill Secker's senior crime editor Alison Hennessey is another new inclusion, described as a "driving force" behind the rise of Nordic Noir.
Meanwhile Mimi Spencer, author of 5:2 Diet, historian Simon Sebag-Montefiore, Jamal Edwards, author of Self Belief: The Vision (Virgin Books) and Quick Reads director and The Bookseller's new fiction previewer Cathy Rentzenbrink have also been added to to the list.
Several well known authors retain their inclusion, including Ian McEwan, Salman Rushdie and Julian Barnes, as well as a number of agents, including Ed Victor, Curtis Brown's Jonny Geller, RCW's Peter Straus and David Miller, and PFD's Caroline Michel.
From publishing, Penguin Random House UK c.e.o. Tom Weldon, chair Gail Rebuck and Little, Brown chief executive Ursula Mackenzie all figure, as do Hachette UK c.e.o. Tim Hely Hutchinson, Bloomsbury founder Nigel Newton and Granta publisher Sigrid Rausing. Among booksellers, Waterstones m.d. James Daunt and Nicky Dunne, chairman of Heywood Hill in Mayfair, retain places on the list.
The entire Power 1,000 list, which was selected by Evening Standard critics and specialist reporters, was topped by Prince George, who replaces Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
Editor Sarah Sands said: "London is a magnet for the rest of the world and our newest power resident, Prince George, is a timely symbol. He is our greatest tourist attraction, along with his great-grandmother, which is why he has been chosen this year as the first among Londoners." She added: "The 1,000 is a power list of coruscating imagination and innovation. London has never felt more vivid or open to possibilities."

A Johannesburg-based social enterprise called Got Game has completed an application for participation in the KZN Techno Hubs project.
The organisation seeks to tackle challenges around education, health services and enterprise development in sub-Saharan Africa.
More specifically, the venture is aimed at addressing the needs of people in under served communities who have in some way been sidelined from participating fairly in a growing offline and online digital economy.
Got Game designs, manufactures and delivers customised cubes, known as POP UPs (Point of Presence of Unleashing Potential) in the form of digital hubs, restaurants, clinics, gyms and a variety of other interesting spaces. Clients can choose off plan or have their own creation custom made.
It has expressed interest in setting up a POP UP at each of the Techno Hub sites across KwaZulu-Natal. The focus of the Got Game project at each Techno Hub will be determined by the individual hub and "what is happening in the community space at the site".
The KZN Techno Hubs are being constructed in Port Shepstone, Newcastle, Richards Bay and Pietermaritzburg.

text: FeaturesEPA Column World Wetlands Day 2019 February 3, 2019 If you are living on the coast, chances are you are living on a wetland which has been reclaimed. This is not to say wetlands cannot be found in all administration regions of Guyana because depending on where you are, you may be exposed to various types of wetlands. Important to note is that, wetlands are not waste lands, they have great value. Wetlands can be defined as transition zones between aquatic (water) and terrestrial (land) ecosystems. These areas are significant since they provide countless natural services which include the important role they play in the battle against climate change. However, while they are our natural weapons to combat this global threat, they are also vulnerable to it. World Wetlands Day is observed every year on February 2 to spread awareness about wetlands. This year, the theme for the day is "Wetlands and Climate Change." Wetlands – a natural remedy for climate change There are different types of wetlands, all of which have characteristics that help them to combat the effects of climate change. Wetlands exist as marshes, mangroves, floodplains, lakes, swamps and mudflat. Wetlands provide both environmental and socio-economic benefits. Some of these include: – Protection of the coastline; – Prevention of natural disasters; – Purification of water; – Provision of habitat for many species of organisms; – Provision of resources to encourage agricultural activities; eg fishing, apiculture In addition, wetlands are important for the reduction of climate change impacts since they rapidly absorb large quantities of carbon dioxide. For instance, mangroves store 50 times more carbon than tropical forests. Additionally, mangrove forests are also used as adaptation mechanisms by protecting shorelines from sea-level rise. Climate change – a threat to wetlands Wetlands provide a natural response to climate change impacts. At the same time, however, they are vulnerable ecosystems. For instance, with increases in global temperatures, sea-level rise and extreme weather pattern are resulting in the degradation of wetland ecosystems. With the increase in average global temperatures, it has led to the loss of many habitats resulting in extinction of many species. In addition, degradation to wetlands leads to desertification, making it impossible to use the land for agriculture. It was recorded that since 1970, we have seen a loss of 35 per cent of the world's wetlands. Measures taken to protect wetlands The Ramsar Convention, on Wetlands was first held in Iran in 1971. It is the main initiative taken to manage the use of wetlands. Through this convention, an intergovernmental agreement was drafted which provides the structure for countries to be guided on the sustainable use and conservation of wetlands. With the ratification of 170 countries, there are currently 2339 Ramsar Sites around the world which are noted as Wetland of International Importance and are protected under the Treaty. Guyana has not signed on to the Convention. However, measures are in place to manage and conserve wetlands in Guyana. One of the main focus areas is the North Rupununi, a unique ecosystem that influences Guyana's rich biodiversity particularly aquatic organisms. National actions are also taken to protect mangroves which are the natural guardians of our coast. You can play a role in Wetlands Conservation If we do not start recognising the importance of wetlands and conduct more researches to examine how vulnerable they are, all the wonderful services and benefits they provide will eventually disappear. Since, wetlands provide numerous benefits, citizens can help in clean-up efforts, restoration and conservation of these ecosystems. In addition, it is advised that proper studies be done before reclaiming wetlands for developmental activities. World Wetlands Day allows for us to reflect on the many services these ecosystems provide especially as we continue to battle against climate change. In addition, World Wetlands Day calls for global awareness and education on these valuable areas. You can share your ideas and questions by sending letters to: "Our Earth, Our Environment", C/O ECEA Programme, Environmental Protection Agency, Ganges Street, Sophia, GEORGETOWN, or email us at: [email protected] or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

The U.S. Navy has sailed ships through the Taiwan Strait throughout the last decade but normally kept those operations quiet — perhaps out of concern it would provoke China, who considers Taiwan its territory and the Taiwan Strait its territorial waters.
But in June, that changed. For the first time since 2007, both the U.S. Navy and Taiwan's Ministry of Defense publicly confirmed that U.S. Navy ships sailed through the Taiwan Strait, on June 7 and 8.
According to a Taiwanese official, that "was the first time that both US Navy and Taiwan's Ministry of Defense publicly confirmed such voyage since 2007."
A U.S. Navy official confirmed that the U.S. Navy had gone "on the record" to confirm the June transit, and that it was the first time that had happened in recent memory. The official said previously there had been a "stranglehold" on discussing such operations that stemmed from the previous administration.
Accordingly, he and another U.S. Navy official declined to publicly confirm previous transits, including one last year in July 2017 that was reported by some U.S. and Taiwanese news outlets. The U.S. Navy allegedly made at least two transits through the Strait last year, but U.S. Navy and Taiwanese officials would not confirm that.
Commanders will typically determine in advance whether acknowledgment of an military operation will be "active" or "passive," meaning the military could actively promote it with a press release or passively confirm when reporters ask. Sometimes officials will not confirm it at all, only saying such operations are "routine."
The public confirmation of the recent transit coincides with the Trump administration's desire to openly challenge China economically and militarily, including over Taiwan.
China considers Taiwan its "most important and sensitive" issue with Washington. Beijing asserts that Taiwan is a breakaway province of China instead of a separate country. The U.S. acknowledges China's position but continues to provide Taiwan with defense equipment and treats it as a separate country.
Trump angered China early on by accepting a congratulatory call from Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen on his election, the first time a U.S. president has spoken to a Taiwanese president in nearly 40 years. He also approved a $1.42 billion arms sale that Taiwan had proposed the previous year.
The White House issued a strong rebuke in May when China demanded that 44 international airlines change their websites to describe Taiwan as part of China, calling it "Orwellian nonsense." The response drew praise from senior Taiwanese officials, who said they have never heard the U.S. use that kind of language before.
Trump has also appointed a number of Taiwan supporters to the administration, including National Security Adviser John Bolton, Assistant Secretary of Defense Randall Schriver, National Security Council Senior Director Matt Pottinger, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Alex Wong.
The White House also cast China as a "strategic competitor" and mentioned Taiwan in its National Security Strategy.
The Trump administration, early on in its tenure, launched an investigation into Chinese intellectual property theft, and more recently, has imposed 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports. Washington has threatened more tariffs, and this week, the U.S. Department of Commerce slapped restrictions on dozens of Chinese companies, including developers of military technologies.
Last July, Breitbart News exclusively reported that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis had signed off on a plan to regularly challenge China's excessive maritime claims in the South China Sea by sailing U.S. ships through the body of water. The Obama administration had put a stop on those transits between 2012 to 2015, out of concern for upsetting China.
This year, the Pentagon disinvited China from Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), the world's largest biennial maritime military exercise hosted by the U.S. Navy after evidence showed that China had placed weapons systems on land features in the South China Sea, despite promising the U.S. it would not do so.
The transit of USS Mustin and USS Benfold through the Taiwan Strait in June, which angered China, may just be the latest sign of support for Taiwan and its willingness to challenge China.
Experts say there is not a lot of difference between the Trump administration's Taiwan policy from the Obama administration's, but they acknowledge the Trump administration has been more vocal in its support for Taiwan and that Taiwan is happy about it.
Bonnie S. Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said:
You can see a mention, for example, in the National Security Strategy of Taiwan, which might be for the first time. Some officials occasionally making statements that are supportive of Taiwan. Definitely the criticism of China for pressuring U.S. and other airlines to use China's nomenclature of "Taiwan, China" — that was probably a high-water mark of U.S. support for Taiwan and criticism of China.
Some Taiwanese officials do worry that the U.S. could at any time reduce its support of Taiwan under pressure from China or use it as a bargaining chip with China. There are no signs that is happening but that worry makes every U.S. gesture on Taiwan fraught with significance.
For example, there was some disappointment in Taiwan that the U.S. did not send a senior-level White House official for the opening ceremony of its unofficial embassy in Taiwan on June 12. Taiwanese officials said they understood because it coincided with the Singapore Summit on June 12 and that they appreciated the administration sending Marie Royce, a senior State Department official and the wife of Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
And although the president signed the Taiwan Travel Act, which encourages the U.S. to send more officials to Taiwan, it is not clear yet whether that has been made use of. Congress has also authorized the U.S. Navy to make port calls in Taiwan, but it does not seem to have happened yet. China has warned the U.S. against doing so.
Congress, in recently passed legislation, calls on the U.S. to strengthen the defense relationship with Taiwan and to allow the U.S. and Taiwanese militaries to participate in each other's military exercises, such as RIMPAC. However, Schriver, assistant secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs, said last month at the Heritage Foundation that the administration was not considering allowing Taiwan to join RIMPAC.
The administration is also reportedly considering sending a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier through the Taiwan Strait — something it has not done since 2007. Schriver demurred when Breitbart News asked if that was under consideration, citing Pentagon policy of not discussing future operations, but said it is "certainly" within the U.S.'s right to do so.
Glaser said she would support doing so. "I would be in favor of sending an aircraft carrier through the Strait. China sends its aircraft carrier through the Strait, I think there's nothing wrong with us doing that, you have to ask why we haven't done it for 11 years," she said.
Patrick Cronin, senior adviser and senior director of the Asia-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, said although the Trump administration is moving forward with security, economic, and diplomatic support for Taiwan, "there is always more that can be done."
He said first, the U.S. should periodically make "crystal clear" that Taiwan will not be a bargaining chip to achieve a grand deal — or even less, a better trade balance — with China.
Secondly, Cronin said the administration could do more to wean Taiwan from over-dependence on China, by supporting Taiwan's indigenous innovation development and Southbound Policy to strengthen economic ties with its southern neighbors.
Thirdly, Washington can accelerate Taiwan's plan to field an effective deterrent capability, to raise the costs in case China ever attempts to use military force against democratic Taiwan.
"But perhaps above all else, the United States should work with Japan and other allies and partners to ensure that the next generation of Taiwan movers and shakers appreciate the value of freedom," Cronin said.
Glaser cautioned that any show of support would have to take into consideration China's likely reaction.
"You also have to weigh that against what the reaction from China would be — because China will not punish the U.S., it will punish Taiwan," she said.
"But we should try to come up with things we can do for Taiwan that will benefit Taiwan's security in a meaningful way."

That's right, we gave in to this adorable emoji that has been ruling our lives ever since it was released for humans to digitally express their opinions.

Kraft it up challenge April - bits and bobs
I created this one for the Kraft it up challenge in April. Im really happy with how it has turned out!The challenge was to use recycled product packaging in your layout. I used letter sticker backing for the 'i', a cardboard piece which had held ribbon as a tag and a party hat sticker outline.....
The photo was from Pedlars parade, my daughter got a lucky dip and was very excited with the variety of small items inside. She held up an orange slinky, thrilled and tried to work out what it did. I wanted my layout to reflect the fascination children have with the bits and bobs in the lucky dip, even though they really have no use for them, and the Kraft challenge gave the perfect excuse to use up some scraps to give that feel of the lucky dip. And stingiest (I mean thriftiest) of all I did the layout on the reverse side of my only piece of Kraft cardstock which I also used for the March challenge lol
I used Kraft funday cardstock, Graphic 45 nutcracker sweet ballerinas (again), Kaisercraft miss nelly paper pad, Kaisercraft check in collection letter sheet, Ruby rock it Avalon stickers, Websters pages sticker and afew other odds and ends from my stash.
And bonus I used up some of those scraps lying around, ready for my house inspection tomorrow!

The Olympus E-620 combines a small, portable body with high-technology features – is it the definition of the Four Thirds Advantage?
Olympus E-620 review
The Olympus E-620 combines a small, portable body with high-technology features – is it the definition of the Four Thirds Advantage?
Build and handling
At first glance the E-620 bears a strong resemblance to the E-420 and its predecessors, the E-410 and E-400. Only from the back does the E-620 look significantly different, due to its articulated LCD screen. This screen is a major selling point of the E-30 and E-3, and it is great to see that Olympus has made room for it on the E-620. This in itself is impressive, given the small size of the body, and although the screen adds a little bulk to the camera, the E-620 feels barely any larger than the E-420 when the two are compared directly. Interestingly, though, both are heavier than they look. The new camera is a little more comfortable to hold than the E-420, for me at any rate, thanks to a redesigned and more substantial handgrip, which greatly aids handling when the camera is held to the eye.
As far as the control layout is concerned, the E-620 is typical of the Olympus E-series. A group of buttons to the right of the LCD screen provide access to key features such as ISO sensitivity, AF mode, white balance and metering. Meanwhile, the status screen, which is shown by default on the LCD screen in 'normal' SLR mode, provides alternative access for these functions and almost everything else. So complete is this interactive display that the Menu button is almost completely redundant after the initial setup.
In fact, when out shooting with the E-620, the only time I regularly needed to delve into the main menu was to format my memory cards. An additional menu tab, which, confusingly, is turned off by default, can be activated to provide access to extra 'nuts and bolts' features such as noise reduction, but it is unlikely these settings will need changing very often.
As I reported in my First Look of the E-620, I find that when Live View is activated it is easy to forget I am using a DSLR. I have written more about the E-620's Live View system, but for the time being it will suffice to say that the articulated LCD screen makes a huge difference to the handling of the camera in Live View mode.
On a fixed screen, Live View is very handy in some situations (especially when the camera is attached to a tripod), but of limited use when a photograph needs to be taken from an awkward angle. An articulated screen removes this limitation and, when coupled with the E-620's highly effective contrast-detection AF system, Live View becomes an indispensable rather than simply optional feature.

Jannick Deslauriers
Sentences, souffle et linceul, 2018
Location P7
Presented by Art Mûr (Booth C16)
Jannick Deslauriers' works, her subjects broken and decaying through entropy or more violent and intentional acts of demolition, tackle salient issues of the Anthropocene: trans global commerce in weapons, energy and human beings, what the artist describes as 'a collective history played out daily in news media.' Fractured, the 'translucent and dislocated' form caught in a moment of demolition which is the eponymous work in Deslauriers' Sentence, souffle et linceul is a full scale automobile: its form distilled from meticulously researched images of both intact and damaged vehicles; its bespoke distressed surfaces conveying a visceral engagement with the reality of 'certain geopolitical issues,' the artist seeks to address, the premeditated destruction which is 'a symbol of our times.' The work, and the shroud in its title—'linceul'—reference the human body, the inevitable bodies that are connected to such images in real life.
In her own writing about her practice, the artist emphasizes the relationship between the sculptural works and a drawing or doodle: the darkened lines of black thread which trace the contour and describe the 'object in space' conjuring the restatements of a gesture drawing; the line and texture fusing together in a graphic presentation that is wholly contemporary, at the same time it evokes Roy Lichtenstein's appropriation of contour line and Ben-Day dot—as if Deslauriers' forms are pulled from the pages of a graphic novel detailing what Turpin refers to as the 'homolithic itinerary [of] collapse, catastrophe, apocalypse.' [1]
Writing about Joyce Wieland's deployment of the textile arts in her practice, Lauren Rabinovitz observed the artist 'literally cushion[ed] her message with the materials and further softens a tough political statement through humour.' [2] Participating in this rich tradition, Deslauriers' work challenges the viewer to consider consequences—sentence—by way of the ephemeral.

A Timeless Spinelli's Cathedral Wedding | Emily & Matt
A Timeless Wedding at Spinelli's Cathedral and Venue | San Antonio, Texas
What an absolutely beautiful wedding I have to share with you! Emily and Matt's big day was amazing in every way! 🙂 From the beautiful blush bridal gown and elegant ceremony details, to the intimate moment when Matt and Emily shared notes before the wedding…this is one of those weddings that makes me so, so thankful for what I do! Some days I can hardly believe this is a JOB…what??! 🙂
I always love to hear my couples' love stories, and this one is just so sweet!
"Matt and I actually met through my family!" Emily told me. "My cousin Cassie and Matt were good friends all throughout high school, and then through college and beyond! My mom asked Cassie's mom if they knew of any good guys for me. They immediately agreed that I should meet Matt, and Cassie gave him my number! The rest, as they say, is history! 🙂
"When Matt proposed, we had just moved into our first home together, which needed a lot of TLC. After about a month of updating almost everything and doing a lot of manual labor, we had finished! When everything was complete, Matt looked at me and said "So are we done?! Have we finished everything we wanted to do?" And I said "YES!" very excitedly. 🙂
"We celebrated for a minute, and then I went on about my evening chores (folding his laundry haha). As I was mid-fold he sat down on the bed and pulled out a box and asked me to marry him. It was so perfect, so simple and so special. Matt and I truly are perfect for each other, and we can't wait to start the rest of our lives together!"
Emily and Matt, I'm so happy I got to celebrate with you! Thank you so much for having me at your wedding! 🙂 If your marriage is as beautiful as your big day, you're in for such an amazing adventure! Congratulations again, and much love to the two of you! 🙂

Some TMNT stuff was always meant for grownups.
Buscheyev is a character appearing in the City at War story arc of the Mirage continuity. He is neither a protagonist nor antagonist nor even a supporting character, but an innocent bystander who becomes collateral damage during the events of City at War. The story follows his life as a separate plot thread throughout the story arc.
In City at War, Part 1 of 13, Buscheyev lived in an apartment directly above Morph's Adult Novelties, a sex shop in one of New York City's red-light districts. In the midst of the ongoing open urban warfare between the warring Foot Clan factions in the city, a bomb was planted in the sex shop beneath Buscheyev's apartment. When it exploded, it completely destroyed both shop and apartment, but miraculously Buscheyev survived.
For the rest of City at War, Buscheyev's story is one of long hospital recovery and physical therapy, until finally regaining his mobility and a semblance of life in City at War, Part 13 of 13.

Ann Louise II
This is the mid-sized version of Ann Louise and is made of polymer. The height is 36" with the base being made of high stress concrete.
Ann Louise is holding three beets. While this may seem an odd topic, I feel it does again represent a certain reverence for those things I find important. That would be my garden and the food it provides, and my charming wife who just happens to be named Ann Louise.

The Edgewood Orchard Gallery in Fish Creek Wisconsin handles my (David) work and is open from May until Nov. It has a complete selection of each piece. This is one of the finest galleries in the midwest and is well worth a visit not only because of my artistic endeavors but for the many great works they display. Great owners and staff. The gallery is a real jewel.


text: What do you do when you see miles of the unbroken surface of dark silt, all bare and without a sign of life? You will no doubt be tempted to step on the gas in your SUV, hoping to catch the horizon. Do so by all means, kick mountains of dust with your tyres, and feel the thrill of driving in the Little Rann of Kutch - just mind the wildlife though. The Little Rann is a saline desert and believed to have been a shallow sea at one time. It can be considered a large ecotone, a transitional area between marine and terrestrial ecosystems, stretching across 4,953 sq. km {1,935 sq. miles}. Dry for the most part of the year, it gets inundated with water during the monsoons - the only landforms visible at this time are about 74 elevated plateaus or islands, locally called 'bets.' In the Rann, you must watch out for marshy bits - they can suck you in real fast. The area may look arid and forbidding but, surprisingly, it is home to many species of animals and birds, and rich in its unique flora. And it supports life far beyond its boundaries - the Rann is a valuable source of salt, supplying 20 per cent of India's output. You can see mountains of salt and equipment used to extract the same as you drive around. What the eye cannot miss are swathes of water bodies - looking like an endless sea in the distance. Complete with reflections of trees in the water. Only, these are mirages. Even when you know it, you will have to pinch yourself to believe they are so - it is not easy accepting what you see is not for real. Oh, and talking about the Wild Ass Sanctuary, it was established within the Rann in 1973 to protect the last home of the endangered Indian Wild Ass or the Ghudkhar as called locally. They number in the thousands, and you have to be very unlucky not to spot any. The sanctuary features on the tentative list of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The first impression: They are not bad looking at all. Fair in colouring, much smarter than the common donkeys. If their facial features were any sharper, they could well have passed for ponies for children. And they sure can match up to the strength and the speed of horses, weighing up to 230 kilos and managing speed up to 70 kmph {45 miles per hour}. I wonder if they are as intelligent as horses, will they ever make it to the Derby? The Ghudkhars once roamed across North-West India, West Pakistan, and Iran but are now found only in the Rann. They are a sturdy lot, withstanding extremes of weather in a terrain without shade that gets droughts and floods in equal measure. Their meals include fodder, scrubby grass, and sweet water. Their lifespan is 20-25 years. And they breed mostly from August to October. The gestation period is about 11 months, and kids don't take too long before they join the herd. The Rann is also an important destination for migratory birds, who come here by the tens of thousands in season. You can find over 380 species of birds including Chestnut-Bellied, Spotted and Painted Sand Grouse; Lark; Desert and Variable Wheatears; White-Eared Bulbul; Macqueen's Bustard; Greater and Lesser Flamingoes; White Pelican; Spoonbill; Demoiselle and Common Cranes; raptors including Aquila Eagles and a variety of Falcon. My sightings included those of Demoiselle Cranes, pecking at God-knows-what in the sand and around some water bodies. And then I saw hundreds of Lesser Flamingoes, with their cheerful white and pink hues. The flamingoes come from Australia according to my guide, but some nest at the Rann itself. My shoes sunk into slush around the water bodies, sending an early warning signal to watch out for a quicksand. Residents also include many species of mammals including the Nilgai {Blue Bull or Antelope}, Chinkara, Wild Boar, Blackbuck, Hare, Indian Wolf, Golden Jackal, White-Footed Desert Fox, Jungle Cat, Desert Cat, and Striped Hyena. Reptiles include the Spiny-Tailed Lizard. There are 253 different species of flowering plants and other vegetation found in the bets or islands. The sanctuary is habitat to about 93 species of invertebrates, including 25 species of zooplankton, one species of annelid, four crustaceans, 24 insects, 12 molluscs, and 27 spiders. A total of four species of amphibians {frogs and toads} and 29 species of reptiles {two of turtles, 14 of lizards, 12 snakes, and one crocodile} occur here. The mixing of tidal water from the Gulf of Kutch with freshwater discharged from the rivers takes place in the Little Rann of Kutch, making it an important spawning ground for prawns.

text: One of the original celebrity artists, Titian was famous for his beguiling personality, yet it is for his masterful paintings that he is best remembered today, including such iconic works as Mary Magdalene, Venus at Her Mirror, Flora, and Venus of Urbino. Austrian art historian Norbert Wolf introduces readers to the 16th-century Venetian artist through both his works—beautifully reproduced here in color plates and page-filling detail views—and his written and recorded comments, allowing the artist's own words to inform the appreciation of his achievements. An illustrated timeline and a pictorial tour of the galleries where his art now resides reveal how this contemporary of Michelangelo and Raphael broke new ground in nearly every genre of painting, including portraiture, altar pieces, the rendering of mythological themes, frescoes, and pastoral landscapes.

This massager offers a vibrating plate that targets the sole of the foot (with high and low percussion settings), three kneading modes on the sides and infrared light (with two settings) all around.
This device also has an auto shut-off feature and its detachable fabric covering makes it easy to clean.
This is a three-in-one action massager: kneading, vibration and heat.
Although the heat provided by this massager is not on the high side, Amazon reviews give it a 4 stars.
Product Dimensions: 20.5 x 17 x 9.5 inches
Weight: 21 pounds
What we like about it: It massages the entire foot with a kneading action coupled with heat that produces a relaxing and energizing massage. It also squeezes the feet to a certain pressure so that regardless of foot size, the same pressure is applied to the feet.
What's no so great about it: This product is a bit heavy, which make it hard to move around. It's not suited for highly sensitive foot, since the massage can be a little intense compared with another massager.

Sideshow is proud to present the sensational She-Hulk Statue, the second collectible in the Adi Granov Artist Series.
Based on the work of acclaimed comic book artist Adi Granov, the She-Hulk Statue captures all the fun of Marvel's jade giantess in 1:5 scale.
She-Hulk measures 17.5" tall on top of a New York City street base, complete with all the familiar sights of a day in the Big Apple. Shulkie has ripped the door off a taxi cab, busting a red fire hydrant and spilling water into the storm drain below. An ad for her attorney alter ego Jennifer Walters can be seen on the dinged-up cab door, while a nearby rat drags a slice of New York pizza across the pavement.
The polyresin She-Hulk Statue features her iconic leotard costume, with purple metallic side panels and a matte white. She also has matching purple gloves and white and purple athletic shoes, all sculpted and painted with realistic fabric-like details. She-Hulk's effortless style is present in every inch of this stunning statue as she flexes her incredible green muscles and gives her best smile.

Over 200 workers at International Paper in Inverurie, near Aberdeen, were due to take two days strike action this week in their continuing battle with management over pay.
The company proposed a pay freeze for 2006, and a small one-off payment in 2007.
Workers at the paper mill have been contributing 3 percent of their weekly earnings for two consecutive years now in order to fill a gap in the company's pension scheme.
The workers, members of the Amicus union, struck on Thursday of last week.
Union members on one shift stopped work two hours early, mounting picket lines that remained in place until 8pm. Colleagues on the scheduled 6pm shift refused to cross.
According to mill shop steward Andy Hurley, the workers organised a procession. "Car horns blared, and the drivers were cheered as they passed through fellow workers who had gathered outside the plant waving Amicus banners," he said.
"We underlined the strength of feeling on the issue, and that the workforce themselves have taken the lead.
"The issues here have been raised by employees, and they are determined they must be tackled."
According to Andy, in the past week a further 30 employees had joined the union and a further ten are about to join.
Messages of support to International Paper workers, c/o Amicus. 83 Crown Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6EX.

In this article, the author summarizes advances in the field of antibody-mediated epilepsies. This field is best defined by autoantibodies directed against neuronal cell-surface antigens including leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1), contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2), and the N-methyl, D-aspartate (NMDA), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A and B receptors. Importantly, seizures in patients with these autoantibodies are often best treated with immunotherapies. Most strikingly, faciobrachial dystonic seizures have been recognized as a distinctive epilepsy semiology with frequent and brief dystonic episodes, typically involving the face and arm, and are consistently associated with LGI1-antibodies. Findings not only confirm a superior response of faciobrachial dystonic seizures to immunotherapies but also suggest that patients with the ensuring cognitive impairment, recognized in patients who present with faciobrachial dystonic seizures, may be prevented with immunotherapies. In addition, frequent temporal lobe seizures are also recognized in patients with autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase. Glutamic acid decarboxylase is an intracellular enzyme, and these patients often respond poorly to antiepileptic drugs or immunotherapies. These 2 paradigms imply that a proportion of patients with neuronal autoantibodies have frequent focal seizures with contrasting responses to immunotherapies. Clinical features allow recognition of these patients within unselected general epilepsy populations. This selection is critical for both etiologic and therapeutic implications, and to establish paradigms for recognition with the growing number of autoantibodies described in epileptic disorders.
Key points
• The antibody-mediated epilepsies often show an abrupt onset of frequent focal seizures with neuropsychiatric features.
• Faciobrachial dystonic seizures are very frequent brief dystonic events, typically affecting the ipsilateral arm and face, and are associated with LGI1-antibodies. Faciobrachial dystonic seizures often precede LGI1-antibody encephalitis, and early treatment may prevent the progression to "full-blown" encephalitis.
• Some patients with drug-resistant epilepsies, cryptogenic epilepsies, and new onset refractory status epilepticus have serum autoantibodies directed against neuronal surface proteins such as LGI1, CASPR2, the NMDA receptor, and the intracellular protein GAD.
• Testing for VGKC-complex antibodies should be halted, as this assay is less sensitive and far less specific for immunotherapy-responsive neurologic syndromes than directed testing for LGI1- and CASPR2-autoantibodies.
• The spectrum of autoantibody-mediated epilepsies is likely to expand in the near future with the ongoing discovery of new autoantibodies.
Historical note and terminology
In the 1960s, Brierley, Corsellis, and colleagues showed that patients with a subacute onset of amnesia, disorientation, and seizures had histological evidence of limbic system inflammation, predominantly affecting the hippocampi (Brierley et al 1960; Corsellis et al 1968). They termed this syndrome "limbic encephalitis." However, the relevance of observed concurrent systemic malignancy was not fully appreciated at that time. Since this observation, a number of patients with limbic encephalitis and systemic tumors of lung, testicular, breast, and gynecological origin have been reported. The term "paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome" has been used to describe cancer-related conditions that are pathologically remote to the cancer (Graus et al 2004), and 1 such paraneoplastic condition is often limbic encephalitis. However, these syndromes appeared to be associated with antibodies directed against intracellular antigens such as Hu, Ma2, and CV2/CRMP5, which are unlikely to be pathogenic, and they showed a low incidence.
These early observations have been significantly extended in recent years with the discovery of a flurry of new autoantibodies. These discoveries have made it clear that limbic encephalitis is more commonly found in association with autoantibodies directed against the extracellular domains of neuronal proteins. These forms of limbic encephalitis can frequently be treated with immunotherapies, and are far less frequently associated with systemic tumors. In addition, some epilepsy patients without evident amnesia or disorientation have been reported to harbor these autoantibodies, supporting the hypothesis of autoimmune forms of epilepsy (Palace and Lang 2000). Indeed, several antigenic targets have now been described as forms of likely causative autoantibodies and have been shown to induce molecular effects consistent with epileptogenesis (Wright et al 2015; Seagar et al 2017; Thompson et al 2018).

Microsoft has added new features to its Bing search engine, along with a refreshed logo and look in order to help it better compete with the monolithic Google.
The logo has been redesigned, as has the home page, but the big changes, according to Microsoft, are the ones you can't see.
One of the key new features is Page Zero. Building on traditional auto-fill suggestions, Bing will also instantly provide relevant information and options for exploration as users input their queries.
Lawrence Ripsher, Microsoft's general manager of user experience at Bing, used the official blog to explain the new features:
For example, if you type Katy Perry, we understand what you're looking for before you've even searched and give you a quick glance of who she is and suggest other popular search tasks associated with the singer.
The Pole Position feature comes into play with "high confidence" queries. When Bing is certain it has clear data related to a user's intended search, Pole Position will show information at the top of the page in a larger, integrated format.
The search engine has also made changes to Snapshots, the service that offers quick answers to queries about people, places and things. The redesigned feature has been combined with Sidebar, which provides Knowledge Graph-style information from users' social networks.
Rispher says that the new combined Snapshots will "provide people with all the supporting context they'll need for any given query".
For example, consider a search for "Highway 1". Bing knows there are many possible things you might be looking for. Our new design displays both the factual data about this beautiful route (length, date, related places) and also the human perspective, whether they be status updates, photos, tweets, check-ins or expert opinions.
The new features are likely to form part of Microsoft's Cortana strategy that aims for a digital assistant, similar to Siri, that works across the multiple platforms offered by the company.
Microsoft has a long way to go with Bing. According to StatCounter, in the six months from March to August this year, Google accounted for 90.07 per cent of all search engine traffic globally, with Bing the next largest at 3.73 per cent.

One of the UK's largest travel agents has said it will save thousands of jobs at Thomas Cook after a deal to buy all 555 of the company's stores around the UK.
Hays Travel has already employed 597 members of Thomas Cook staff since the travel group went out of business last month.
The company now intends to reopen some shops as early as Thursday, potentially saving up to 2,500 jobs in total.
READ MORE: Thomas Cook refund website targeted by suspected fraudsters
It is understood 12 stores in Glasgow are set to be saved by the decision, with others in Clydebank, Coatbridge, Greenock, Lanark and Paisley also set to be bailed out.
Husband and wife team Irene and John Hays, who own the travel agent, said the company burned the midnight oil, signing the deal to buy the shops at 11.53pm on Tuesday.
"We are looking to employ as many Thomas Cook staff as possible and we are reaching out to them," said Mr Hays.
He confirmed the Thomas Cook brand would be wiped from the high street as its shops are rebranded with the Hays name.
Meanwhile, the company will consider the future of under-performing shops in places where Hays and Thomas Cook sites overlap. It has already approached around 140 landlords but the deal guarantees landlords will get paid until the end of December.
The 178-year-old Thomas Cook folded on September 23 after failing to secure a last-minute rescue deal.

The news left around 150,000 passengers stranded abroad, the last of whom were returned to the UK on Monday.
"This is an extremely positive outcome, and we are delighted to have secured this agreement," said Jim Tucker, a KPMG partner who was appointed joint special manager of Thomas Cook's retail division after the failure.
"It provides re-employment opportunities for a significant number of former Thomas Cook employees, and secures the future of retail sites up and down the UK high street."
Mr Tucker said the administrators would work with Hays to "ensure a smooth transition of the store estate".
He added: "We are pleased to have achieved this in a short timeframe and in the context of a complex liquidation process, which is testament to a lot of hard work from a number of parties."
Hays was founded in County Durham 40 years ago and reached £1 billion in sales last year. It has 190 shops and 1,900 employees.

White-washed streets and mountain peaks: Experience our enchanting White Villages Tour
One of our most popular tours is our White Villages Tour, with many travellers keen to take on the famous trail exploring the iconic whitewashed streets. Ronda is surrounded by valleys and mountains in which you'll find the famous pueblos blancos of Andalusia, located in the Sierra de Grazalema, an official UNESCO site. This iconic journey is famous for a reason; travellers can't get enough of the authentic Andalusian villages and stunning views. On our White Villages Tour, you'll learn about the traditions, culture and history of the white towns and their inhabitants. We visit the two most beautiful white villages, Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema, which we're sure will take your breath away!
A wonderful tour through Zahara de la Sierra
La Zahara de la Sierra is an official Historical Site boasting one of the most impressive landscapes; this white town sits next to a beautiful reservoir that appears turquoise on sunny days. The town is an image taken straight from a postcard; whitewashed houses decorated with flowers, streets filled with orange trees and mountains & greenery always providing a beautiful backdrop. It's a characteristic mountain village at an altitude of 500m, with an intriguing hillside position which means the streets are at different levels. It's the perfect opportunity to take some impressive photos! It also boasts an artificial beach, called 'La Playita', if you're craving some sand and sea. Moreover, the traditional architecture and narrow, whitewashed streets will give you an insight into the town's Moorish past. Zahara's castle still remains, built in the 13th century and one of the main fortresses that protected Ronda against Christian invasion. The remains are particularly impressive and provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
White Villages Tour through Grazalema
Grazalema is the highest and most mountainous town in the Cadiz province. It sits on a valley of over 800m in the Sierra del Edrinal. This old town is famous for its winding alleys, plazas filled with tapas bars, and its stunning viewpoints over the Sierra de Grazalema National Park. The town acts as a base for hikers who come to take advantage of the National Park, known for its rugged limestone mountains.
Famous for its wool production tradition, producing high quality, organic fabric, you can visit the traditional mills which were used for both wool production and olive oil extraction. In these white towns you will appreciate a simpler and slower pace of life. Take a trip back in time and experience a more traditional way of life; learning about the cultivation of olive oil, the production of handmade leather and culinary experiences using organic products grown on the surrounding farms. These local trades have remained a tradition for centuries in the pueblos, with craftsmen passing down their skills to their families to continue producing the goods. Moreover, it's an opportunity to immerse in the local culture, with the privilege to meet the people inhabiting these traditional pueblos; we visit family businesses to taste regional delicacies made by the local people. The locals here are full of life and soul; passionate about their land and customs and willing to share their traditions with travellers who visit. At Entrelenguas part of our Slow Travel philosophy is keeping tourism sustainable by helping the local community to continue their traditional trades and sell their products.
If you're intrigued to see what else our region has to offer, read our article on places to visit near Ronda! We recommend taking a guided tour around the pueblos blancos as, with an official guide, you'll be taken to amazing hidden spots in these villages that only locals know about! Are you tempted by a visit to the beautiful white villages of Andalusia? If you're wanting to discover incredible landscapes, see picturesque villages and taste authentic local delicacies, then sign yourself up for our White Villages Tour here now!
