text: I saw this image after I woke up from an intense dream. The dream was unrelated, but as I was recreating this image in real time, I realized it was linked to a memory of hiking in New Zealand. The forests there are quite magical and full of sprites and faeries. I was hiking along such a trail in the woods not far from the Franz Josef Glacier when I saw a creature that I could not describe. It was no ordinary deer, but a creature like that you might encounter Continue reading

It is now exactly twenty years since Patrick Atiyah published The Damages Lottery, one of the most eloquent polemics ever to be directed against a firmly entrenched principle of law. Professor Atiyah was concerned with the law of negligence generally. But his book has generally been treated as an attack on personal injuries law and its practitioners. Most of his arguments and all of his solutions were directed against the concept of fault-based liability for personal injury. He proposed to abolish liability in tort for causing personal injury. In the case of road accidents, then as now by far the largest single source of personal injury claims, the right to sue for negligence would be replaced a system of compulsory, no fault, first-party insurance. In the case of other sources of personal injury, there would be no alternative source of provision. Atiyah proposed to encourage people to buy first-party insurance, but to leave it, in the final analysis, up to them …

Book: Amaranthine Special Edition Vol II by Joleene Naylorcategories: Book, Vampires, Horror, Urban Fantasy, Dark, Vampire War, Vampire Romance, Paranormal Thriller, Adult, Violence, Paranormal Romance
Joleene Naylorabout this book: Originally written as one book, Ties of Blood and Ashes of Deceit were split into two for publication. Now, for the first time, read them the way they were meant to be read: in one volume of back to back vampire goodness.
In the continuing saga of the Amaranthine universe, Katelina and Jorick will have to draw together if they hope to withstand the coming storm. Between the ancient master Malick and a serial killer who is targeting vampires, their world is getting more and more dangerous. If that wasn't enough, Verchiel, a too-cheerful vampire with a secret agenda, shows up and, like a grain if sand under Jorick's eyelid, refuses to go away.
What's a special edition without special features? between character interviews, and executioner art gallery and a special short story, there is enough bonus content to make a DVD menu envious.
These stories are for adults and contain bloody violence and medium heat sex. Though perhaps less horrific than Shades of Gray, the final battle at the citadel will leave more than one character dead and other's scarred for eternity.
what to read next: if you read and liked this book...

TORONTO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WOW Unlimited Media Inc. (TSXV: WOW.A and WOW.B) (the "Company" or "WOW!") is pleased to announce that its common voting shares and variable voting shares will trade under a single ticker on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The consolidation of the two ticker symbols into a single ticker symbol of the Company is solely an administrative change for trading purposes and is designed to enhance the liquidity and trading volume of WOW!'s shares.
WOW!'s common voting shares currently trade on the TSXV under "WOW.A" (CUSIP 98212M109). Its variable voting shares currently trade on the TSXV under "WOW.B" (CUSIP number 98212M208).
Effective August 31, 2018, both classes of shares will trade under the single TSXV ticker symbol "WOW", as well as combining under the same CUSIP number 98212M703. For trading purposes and reporting in brokerage accounts, both classes of shares will also be combined under the single designation of "Common and Variable Voting Shares" of WOW!
The combination of trading under a single ticker symbol does not amend the Company's articles of incorporation, by-laws or share capital structure, nor the terms and conditions or the voting and ownership restrictions attaching to each class of shares.
Pursuant to WOW!'s articles of incorporation and the Broadcasting Act (British Columbia), the common voting shares may only be held and controlled by Canadians, and the variable voting shares may only be held and controlled by non-Canadians. Each class of shares is automatically assigned based on the Canadian or non-Canadian status of its holder.
There will be no changes to the Company's voting procedures for shareholder meetings. Shareholders who wish to vote at meetings (either by proxy or by attending the meeting in person) will continue to be required to complete a Declaration of Canadian Status in order to enable WOW! to comply with Canadian ownership rules as an operator of broadcast assets.
Additional information relating to the terms and conditions of the common voting shares and variable voting shares is included in WOW!'s Annual Information Form available at www.sedar.com.
WOW! is also pleased to announce that it has engaged Venture North Capital Inc. ("Venture North") to provide strategic investor relations and shareholder communications services. Venture North is a full-service capital markets consulting firm, headquartered in Toronto, Canada and has experience executing strategic investor relations outreach campaigns on behalf of TSX, TSXV and CSE listed growth companies. Venture North will be focused on increasing investor awareness while introducing WOW! to its network of investment advisors, investment dealers, institutions and other financial professionals in Canada, US, and Europe.
Under the terms of the engagement, which is for an initial four-month period, Venture North will be paid $6,500 per month. This engagement is subject to TSXV approval.

In a recent article published in Oliver Wyman Health, Matt Parker, HealthSparq's VP of Product, shares how data access is the key to helping consumers make informed provider and care decisions.
For 'consumerism' to be more than just an empty catchphrase, people must have access to complete, personalized information to make their health care choices.
― Matt Parker, VP of Product at HealthSparq, a Cambia Company
Cost transparency should be an important part of every person's experience with the health care system, but plan-specific out-of-pocket estimates are often missing from the conversation between health care providers and patients, hindering referrals and treatment plans.
Matt predicts standardizing data exchange between providers, health plans, app developers and consumer will be key to normalizing conversations on cost, fueling collaborative, portable solutions and ultimately, coordinating for better health outcomes.
"Nine in 10 people consider having access to their own medical records a top priority for high quality care delivery," said Matt.
To learn how health information accessibility is gaining steam, check out his article on Oliver Wyman Health, "Let the Data Flow."

Another great night yesterday, hitting our Best Bet, going 5-2 on leans and also cashing our live bet on the Ducks/Bruins 2nd Period Over 1.5.
There will inevitably be both hot runs and cold runs throughout a long season, so we've got to enjoy this week for what it's been: 22-7 on all picks and leans (including 4-0 on live bets), with a few plus money winners and only 3 picks at -130 odds or higher.
We don't just say that to pat ourselves on the back (self promotion is actually something we're not really that comfortable with). We want to stress that winning at that clip is not sustainable over a long time and we're probably due for some regression soon.
Please, please, please make sure that if you're tailing any of our picks or leans, don't get carried away and bet over your head. Poor money management is probably the biggest reason sports bettors lose money.
Stick to a bankroll strategy (in case you're interested, we wrote an article that reviews 5 popular NHL betting systems) and remain disciplined at all times.
Alright, sermon over. 7 games tonight in the NHL. Below is our favourite bet of the day, followed by stats, trends and leans for the other 6 games on the board.
Good luck!
Odds below are at the time we made the pick. Be sure to check out our live odds page for updated odds on today's games.
The Canadiens have played in two of the highest-scoring games in the NHL this year, losing 10-0 in Columbus Nov. 4 and pounding the Avalanche 10-1 last Saturday. But at their core, they're built around goaltending and solid defensive play. In their last 9 games, they've scored 2 goals or less 6 times. They've also allowed 2 goals or less in regulation time in 8 of those 9 contests.
San Jose has shown it's quite happy to play a defensive style this year as well. The Sharks are a ridiculous 18-5 to the Under this season, although they've gotten away from that a bit lately, going Under in just one of their last 5 games. The facts are that they've scored 2 regulation time goals or less in 6 of their last 9 games, and now they're playing their 3rd game in 4 nights against a very tough opponent on the road. Pretty hard to see San Jose wanting to get into a track meet here.
These teams played to a 2-1 score earlier this month in San Jose and have gone Under in 9 of their last 11 meetings in Montreal. We think defense reigns again tonight.

Lüderitz school receives N$700 000 laboratory
Tuulikki Abraham LÜDERITZ – The Anglo American Namibia Foundation (AANF) on Tuesday donated an equipped Home Economics laboratory to Angra Pequena Senior Secondary School at Lüderitz. During the handing-over ceremony, AANF Coordinator Richard Cook reiterated the foundation's dedication to corporate responsibility as a social investment instrument. Cook officially handed over the completion of fencing of the school valued at N$99 000 and the Home Economic classroom, equipped fully with 12 Defy stoves valued at N$613 000, totalling the amount of N$712 000. He revealed that the Anglo America Namibia Foundation's donation was a result of a request from the Directorate of Education, Arts and Culture in the //Kharas Region. The project was subsequently approved by the board of trustees of AANF. "We realised that, the projects of fencing the school will be a safety and security measure for bunking of school. The Home Economics laboratory will contribute greatly to a higher quality and more satisfying outcomes for this subject in the future part of the //Kharas Region. The overall objective of this would be, to raise the level of competency of learners in the subject and provide a platform from where they can further their studies," stated Cook. He further stated that, since the foundation was established nine years ago, it has consistently recognised education's immense importance and relevance to social aims. The foundation has supported numerous programmes in the mathematics and science field in the past, after science labs were set up by AANF in Keetmashoop, Lüderitz, Bethanie and Tses. In a speech delivered on his behalf, Director of Education, Arts and Culture in the //Kharas Region Johannes //Hoeseb applauded the public private partnership that exists between directorate and the AANF. He said that AANF is one of such private sectors institutions that support the regional directorate a lot. "This donation of a fully equipped Home Economic laboratory is significant that, this is a specialist classroom were learners are not only going to be taught to master household activities such as cleaning and cooking." said //Hoeseb. In her welcoming remarks, Lüderitz Mayor Hilaria Mukapuli, applauded the joined efforts between the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture and AANF, as such partnerships do indeed produce positive outcomes.

Message From the Universe: Learn to Believe in Yourself
"I always knew I could count on you to uncover the truth, when others just played "follow the leader." I wasn't surprised at all to find you standing by your principles when the going got tough. And there was never any doubt in my mind that when faced with a fork in the road, you'd take the path less traveled.
I just had no idea you'd have such expensive taste.
You so rock,
The Universe"©Mike Dooley, http://tut.com
It is said that when people follow the masses, they really follow asses. They follow blindly just because others are following behind the one in the front. They assume that if everyone does it, they should too. No one thinks for themselves nowadays, as it is about just following someone who they think is smart and give them the power they need to control the masses. Why not think for yourself? No one is to blame as this is how the system is set up. The government creates entities, like the Commander-in-Chief and allocates enough power to control the people of that country. It is not because the system is set up this way that you need to abide to it. No one, not even the President, is allowed to control your thoughts. You are free to think the way you want. Just follow what is right for you and do not do anything you don't want because others advise you to do so.
We all need to wake up and realize what is going on out there. So much is available on the internet and I agree, it is a bit scary. Knowledge is power, not money, and it is up to us to wise up and understand what is going on out there and take control of what we deem extremely important: OUR FREEDOM. I know that the truth can be scary and this is why the majority of the citizens refuse to read about it. Whoever is gutsy enough to express the truth to others will be seen as someone trying to create chaos and will be ignored or laughed at. The system has brainwashed everyone and unless the citizens of our country wise up soon, our generation will suffer more from a similar predicament we live in at this moment. We can't allow that to happen and it is our duty and right to know what is really going on and how things are run in our country.

"The Women's Centre is like a home to me," A Conversation with Mrs. Li
Today's Giving Tuesday! In honour of the occasion, we're sharing a conversation with one of our members, Mrs. Li. You can also read last year's interview with Elaine for Giving Tuesday.
Mrs. Li is one of the many Chinese seniors who frequent the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre and call DEWC their home away from home. Many of the seniors live in Chinatown, which is located in close proximity to the Downtown Eastside, and face isolation, language barriers and housing uncertainty due to gentrification.
Despite the difference in languages, Chinese seniors make up a key contingent of the DEWC community, and can be found helping in the kitchen, cleaning plates after a busy lunch rush, and greeting other women with smiles.
How did you first come to DEWC?
In 2014, I came here from China. I started coming to the Women's Centre in 2015. Other people in Chinatown told me that I can come to Chinatown to meet others, that I can find support there, and that I won't be lonely. I was outside the Women's Centre when one of the workers invited me in, speaking Mandarin. I was happy that she spoke my language, and now I come back to see others I can talk to. I also come to eat lunch.
What does DEWC mean to you?
The Women's Centre is like a home to me: somewhere to eat and drink, to see others. I've never felt lonely here because even though I don't know English, I feel included.
I love the Centre because people here care about the seniors. Staff take care of the seniors and make sure they have the supplies and toiletries they need when they come to the Centre. At the community kitchen [that the Chinese Seniors Worker runs], it's a mixture of Cantonese and Mandarin speakers, and we need to speak slowly so we can understand each other. There are many activities to take part in.
DEWC is very important to me. I come here everyday. This is a place where I meet my Chinese friends. I didn't know any English or Cantonese, but after I started coming to the Centre, I've started learning some!
Involved in the Centre since its inception, Chinese seniors continue to participate, volunteer, and shape the Centre's lively social life.
The Downtown Eastside Women's Centre welcomes hundreds of women every day, providing a space of sanctuary, safety, welcome, and sisterhood. We serve upwards of 500 meals between the drop-in centre and emergency shelter, building skills, relationships, access to resources, and a platform towards empowerment.

Eid exodus: Asia's Muslims on the move for end of Ramadan
Millions of Asia's Muslims were on the move on Wednesday as they headed for home towns to celebrate with relatives the Eid ul-Fitr holiday marking the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
From Karachi to Kuala Lumpur, highways, airports and train stations were jam-packed in an annual exodus that made Indonesia's usually traffic-clogged capital Jakarta look like a ghost town. Some 70 percent of its residents – about eight million people – headed for other cities and villages across the vast archipelago, home to the world's biggest Muslim-majority population.
About 32 million Indonesians were estimated to be on the move this week, while some 50 million in Bangladesh were thought to be heading home.
"This year some 11.5 million people will leave the capital Dhaka to go back to their villages to celebrate Eid," said Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury, general secretary of the Passengers Welfare Association.
Ramadan in Asia
Ramadan is a holy month for the world's Muslims. It is a month of peace and the time in which the Koran was first sent down from heaven to the Prophet Mohammed. The fasting takes place from sunrise to sunset and means abstinence from eating, drinking and sex. It is a form of worship. Those who fast should gain a better appreciation of the predicament of the poor and the destitute. Ramadan is also a month devoted to intensive prayer and social welfare. Our slide show presents impressions of Ramadan from the varied Islamic cultures all across Asia.
During Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, the breaking of the fast, or ''Iftar'', begins at sunset. A Pakistani family celebrate ''Iftar'' on the square of the 17th century Mughal Badshahi Mosque in Lahore
A father and son in Indian Kashmir conduct the cleansing ritual to prepare themselves for the obligatory prayers. Ramadan is also a time devoted to intensive prayer and spiritual reflection
Every country has its own culinary customs for the ''Iftar'' celebration. In Pakistan, for example, the fast is broken with dates, pakora, choley and chutney. A short prayer is uttered before the breaking of the fast
Muslims are required to share their food with the poor during Ramadan. Here in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, food is prepared for residents of the entire city
Iftar dinner for jobless men in Afghanistan. Alongside the declaration of faith, daily prayer, the pilgrimage to Mecca and the giving of alms, fasting is, as one of the five pillars of Islam, an integral element of the faith
Children, such as this boy, who is a member of the Chinese Hui minority, are exempt from fasting. Pregnant women and the sick are also not required to fast
Women conducting ''Tarawih'' prayers at the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. Tarawih prayers are extra prayers performed at night during Ramadan
Ramadan sees increased numbers of the faithful visiting holy shrines, to express their wishes and prayers. Iranian Shiites touch the grave of Saleh at his mausoleum north of the capital Tehran
Close to the historic Eyüp Sultan Mosque in Istanbul, people enjoy the short night before the next day of fasting begins
Household outgoings soar during Ramadan. Many people are not only spending more money on food, they also buy prayer mats and other religious articles. Market in Bangladesh
China is home to around 22 millions Muslims, members of the Hui and Uyghur minorities. Many of them are fasting this month. Two Hui Muslims read the Koran in this Chinese mosque in Beijing
The beginning and the end of Ramadan are determined with the sighting of the crescent of the moon. This year, the holy month began on 1 August and will probably continue until the 30 or 31 of August
Afghans, meanwhile, were hoping for a peaceful Eid after the Taliban announced their first ceasefire since the 2001 US invasion. The group agreed to stop attacking Afghan security forces for the first three days of the holiday, overlapping with the government's week-long halt to hostilities against the militants. In the capital Kabul, traffic was worse than usual as families defied the threat of suicide attacks ahead of the holiday to stock up on dried fruits, nuts, sweets and cookies.
Pakistanis were also complaining of congestion as authorities said they expect road traffic to more than double ahead of the holiday. The country's railways have announced special "Eid trains" with extra carriages and discounts to tackle the rush.
In Malaysia, traffic slowed to a crawl on major roads out of Kuala Lumpur, with traffic expected to soar by some 70 percent over the usual volume.
India, which has a 180 million-strong Muslim minority population, does not see a huge annual mass migration. But Delhi bank clerk Shakir Khan is among those who will be headed home for the holiday.
"We live in a very fast-paced world and Eid is always special as it gives you a chance to reconnect with your family and friends," the 29-year-old told journalists.
Eid, which is expected to begin from Thursday, comes at the end of Ramadan, when Muslims abstain for a month from activities including eating, drinking, smoking and sex during daylight hours.
Safety will be a big factor in some countries. Some 276 Bangladeshis died in road accidents during Eid last year, while the number in Indonesia was an eye-watering 740 people.
The Southeast Asian nation's often dangerous roads were clogged with thrifty travellers who packed whole families onto one motorcycle – plus luggage – for gruelling trips that can last upwards of 15 hours. (AFP)

Gary from Burt Lake called in to comment on a word that he had encountered while reading a dictionary. The word was pleonasm, and it is used to indicate that a sentence has more words than it needs.
Wordiness is correctly seen as a writing fault, but to be fair, in rhetorical use it is an intentional (even if too elaborate) figure of speech designed to emphasize a point. The web site Silva Rhetoricae gives this as an example: "With these very eyes I saw him do it." Other terms that cover wordiness are tautology, superfluity, and perissology.
The Bible uses pleonasm as a figure of speech. "Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him" [Gen. 40:23]. "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear" [Job 42.5]. "All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth. . . . [Isaiah 18:3]. "The wise men rejoiced with great joy" [Matthew 2:10]. "And it came to pass in those days. . . ." [Mark 1:9].
The pleo- portion comes from a Greek comparative adjective (pleion) that meant more. It shows up in some interesting words.
- pleochroic: showing different colors when viewed in different crystallographic directions.
- pleocytosis: the presence of an abnormally high number of white blood cells (usually lymphocytes) in the cerebrospinal fluid.
- pleodont: A reptile having teeth that are solid rather than hollow.
- pleomastia: the condition of having more than one nipple per breast.
- pleonexia: excessive covetousness, avarice, or greed.

Brexit BOOST: Liam Fox signs deal ensuring smooth trade with Switzerland after Brexit Day
THE government has won Brexit victory after signing a deal ensuring trade between the UK and Switzerland continues uninterrupted after Britain leaves the European Union.
International Trade Secretary and Brexiter Liam Fox has put pen to paper on a deal with Switerland
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox put pen to paper on the deal in the Swiss capital Bern yesterday, saying the agreement provides a "solid foundation" for a post-Brexit trading relationship. The Brexiter is under pressure to keep up the success with just 46 days to go until Britain is due to walk away from Brussels. Trade with Switzerland, which participates in the EU's single market but is not a full member of bloc, is worth about £32 billion a year to the British economy and the deal means the UK will continue to operate on Brussels's terms until a free trade agreement is signed.
Dr Fox praised his Swiss counterparts for working with Britain to get the deal agreed before Brexit Day.
He said: "Switzerland is one of the most valuable trading partners that we are seeking continuity for.
"This is of huge economic importance to UK businesses so I'm delighted to be here in Bern ensuring continuity for 15,000 British exporters.
"Not only will this help to support jobs throughout the UK but it will also be a solid foundation for us to build an even stronger trading relationship with Switzerland as we leave the EU."
The government is coming under increased scrutiny to make sure trade continues uninterrupted with time running out before the UK leaves the EU on March 29.
Yesterday, the Confederation of British Industry's (CBI) director-general Carolyn Fairbairn labelled the current situation is an "emergency".
Mrs Fairbairn highlighted the particular importance of Britain securing continuity of the EU's recently signed deal with Japan.
She told Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday: "The prospect is the day after Brexit those deals will disappear."
The government is working to roll over existing free trade deals and has so far signed mutual recognition agreements with Australia and Japan.
Switzerland joins Chile, the Faroe Islands and parts of Southern and Eastern Africa which have been signed up to continuity agreements.
However the future relationship with dozens of countries across the rest of the globe, including the world's biggest economies the US, China and the EU is still far from clear.
The CBI has also said about 40 trade deals across five continents are at risk of evaporating if the Department for Trade cannot secure a transition before Brexit.
CBI president John Allen, who is also chairman of Tesco, echoed Mrs Fairbairn's warning.
Mr Allen said: "If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, we could cease overnight to enjoy the benefits of tariff-free trade with, and preferential access to, markets of fundamental importance for British products and services, from Japan to Turkey.
"Individual businesses in every corner of the UK that trade with markets outside Europe would have tariffs worth hundreds of millions of pounds slapped on them instantaneously.
"Car companies risk being dropped from complex global supply chains that support these deals, and services firms risk losing vital protections that allow them to operate abroad.
"And by no longer being part of the EU's trade deals, the UK will miss out on golden trade opportunities that have been years in the making."

As per usual, our Sunday was a mash-up of all kinds of miscellaneous family stuff.
You and my mom took our daughter to American Girl to be overwhelmed by the ridiculous amount of stuff to sift through. Our little girl was in heaven. You and my mom, apparently, were amazed at the volume of items that could cause a 'Mommy, I want that!" reaction.
We cleaned the house some… always good to start the week with a little neatness.
Then we ended with The Walking Dead because for some wild reason it's your favorite show (second? Drop Dead Divas). Go figure. 🙂

The drama surrounding wide out Antonio Brown is finally over, as the team early Sunday morning moved the unhappy wide out to the Oakland Raiders for a 2019 third-round pick and a 2019 fifth-round pick.
The move ends one of, if not the oddest saga in Steelers history, one that started the week of the final game of the regular season when Brown said he was injured, was sat for the final game against the Bengals, and then Brown came out and said he no longer wanted to play in Pittsburgh.
It's a sad end to a situation that just could not get worked out between the two sides, as the Steelers didn't have to do anything in the end with Brown, but with so much bad blood on both sides, there really was no other choice than to trade the former sixth-round pick who became the best wide out in the game.
As Adam Schefter of ESPN reports, Brown and agent Drew Rosenhaus more or less put the deal to Oakland together, as the Steelers appeared to have something in place for Brown late Thursday, early Friday sending him to the Bills, but Brown said he would not report to Buffalo.
Brown tweeted a picture of himself wearing Oakland's Silver and Black late Saturday night and issued a second post of himself and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr when they were teammates on the AFC Pro Bowl squad.
The Raiders, as expected, also will make Brown the highest paid wide out in the game, giving him a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million (with a maximum value of $54.1 million) with $30.1 million of it guaranteed.
With Brown gone, the Steelers wide out game now belongs to last year Team MVP Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster, who last season proved his worth in his second season with 111 catches and 1,426 yards.
What the Steelers will have to make up for is Brown's 104 catches 1,297 yards, and you can bet the team is going to not only put more pressure on the likes of James Washington to step up, but also will look at the free agent market and the draft to see if a player can somehow, someway pick up the slack.

Kevin Colbert stated , we will not trade Antonio Brown without getting SIGNIFICANT compensation in return . As a result , the Steelers got a third round and fifth round pick for a player that many consider to be the best wide receiver in the NFL . Simply put , the Steelers lost their ASS in this deal . Brown didnt help matters by acting like an idiot on social media which didnt help his trade value . However , the fact remains , you gave away the games best receiver at a bargain basement price . The significant contribution never came , not even close . Now you have a major hole on your offense and that production has to be replaced . Bottom line , the Steelers lost badly on a player that they said they would not just give away . Kevin Colbert , Art Rooney II and Tomlin have alot of questions to answer because you blew this one BIGTIME .
Steelers can clean up on this by signing a free agent proven Middle line backer and drafting a wide receiver in the first round then get the corner backs in 2nd and with 2 picks in the third. What they cannot do is keep picking other teams casts offs and hope they can produce, they never have. They also need a stud on the D. line which we do not have and can get him with picks in the 6th.
Moving up in the draft is something I thought would not happen but it did thank God, we needed that move. Now lets trade away our thirds and move up to get a corner back and we won't need anything but a wide receiver in the fourth.

Lucy Sharratt – CBAN Coordinator <email@example.com>
Welcome to a new year of action! 2010 will certainly be a critical
year on GM crops and foods here in Canada. GM flax contamination, GM
alfalfa, SmartStax corn, new health critiques, Monsanto's increased
seed control, GM sugarbeet, and GM wheat are all active issues and
campaigns right now. And the industry has stepped up its PR to sell GM
as the solution to the crises of our time. Please consider your
support to CBAN and our campaigns this year. Stay tuned for new
announcements from CBAN and our Members across Canada. Thank you for
your support and action.
Was 2009 the year that the world turned against GM?
The Ecologist, UK
Claire Robinson & Jonathan Matthews
Claire Robinson and Jonathan Matthews are co-editors of GMWatch
Despite promising the world in 2009, biotech corporations have
increasingly raised the hackles of scientists and citizens worldwide
2009 was a year in which the biotech industry, Gates and their US
Administration allies did everything in their power to drive the world
down the GM road, but it was also a year marked by remarkable global
It was a year too in which the truth emerged more clearly than ever
about not just the severe limitations and risks of GM crops, but the
viability of the many positive alternatives to GMOs alternatives from
which the profit-driven GM-fixation diverts much needed attention and
The scene had been set in 2008 with the IAASTD report, produced by 400
scientific experts and signed up to by some 60 governments. That made
it clear that after more than 10 years of commercialisation, GM crops
had done nothing to help with the eradication of hunger or poverty, or
the reversal of the environmental degradation caused by agriculture.
The IAASTD instead championed as the way forward: agro-ecological
farming; and research conducted by the UN Environment Programme also
suggested organic, small-scale farming could deliver increased yields
without the accompanying environmental and social damage of industrial
farming. The UNEP?s analysis of 114 projects in 24 African countries
found that yields had more than doubled where organic, or near-organic
practices had been used. In 2009 the contribution of such sustainable
approaches to cooling the planet was also widely acknowledged while
news of Monsanto?s attempts to dress up environmentally destructive GM
monocultures as climate friendly earned it a worst lobbying award.
Mainstream criticism
But what was most remarkable in 2009 was the way in which criticism of
the biotech industry went mainstream. Alarmingly for the industry,
some of the hardest hitting criticism it faced was to be found in
editorials and investigative articles that appeared in the likes of
Scientific American, the New York Times, the Associated Press and,
most astonishingly of all perhaps, the staunchly pro-GM journal Nature
And in different ways they were all making the same fundamental point
– the GM industry has been allowed to gain an unprecedented
stranglehold over the use of seeds. An editorial in Scientific
American, for instance, complained that ?it is impossible to verify
that genetically modified crops perform as advertised. That is because
agritech companies have given themselves veto power over the work of
independent researchers?.
The editorial went on to note that, ?food safety and environmental
protection depend on making plant products available to regular
scientific scrutiny?, and Scientific American called on the industry
to ?immediately remove the restriction on research from their end-user
agreements. Going forward, the EPA should also require, as a condition
of approving the sale of new seeds, that independent researchers have
unfettered access to all products currently on the market?.
Et tu, Brute?
A correspondent for an agricultural trade publication noted that
nobody in the biotech industry could provide him with a single example
of any other kind of product on the market that was protected in the
way GM seeds were from scientific scrutiny.
And the science correspondent of the Financial Times – another solidly
pro-GM publication – complained, ?Imagine pharmaceutical companies
trying to prevent medical researchers comparing patented drugs or
investigating their side-effects – it is unthinkable. Yet scientists
cannot independently examine raw materials in the food supply or
investigate plants that cover a lot of rural America?.
An article in Nature Biotechnology noted how even when research
critical of GM did get published it was met by a wall of apparently
orchestrated, ad hominem and unfounded attacks by GM proponents who,
in the words of an editor for the Entomological Society of America,
?denigrate research by other legitimate scientists in a knee-jerk,
partisan, emotional way that is not helpful in advancing knowledge and
is outside the ideals of scientific inquiry?.
And it wasn?t just scientific enquiry that Monsanto was exposed as
strangling. An Associated Press investigation reported on confidential
Monsanto contracts showing how the world?s biggest seed developer is
squeezing competitors, controlling smaller seed companies and
aggressively protecting its multibillion-dollar market dominance.
Farmers hit
Meanwhile disenchanted farmers pointed to how the GM giant is using
its market power to raise prices for farmers and limit their access to
non-GM seeds. And another new report showed GM seed prices increasing
so dramatically that they have already cut average farm incomes for US
So in 2010 amidst the inevitable deluge of vacuous hype about GM being
vital to deal with hunger, poverty and the impact of climate change,
population growth, fuel scarcity and every other concern known to
humankind, nobody should be in any doubt as to what?s really at stake:
control over science, nature, food and farming.
And over that kind of stranglehold, it can only be a fight to the death.

Fuel costs are a significant expense for every fleet-based business. Reducing fuel usage is the most effective way to decrease your business's fuel costs, but between fluctuating gas prices and understanding how your drivers operate their vehicles while they're in the field, identifying opportunities to reduce your fleet's overall fuel usage can be challenging.
We'll let you in on a secret: reducing your fuel usage is easy when you track your vehicles with GPS tracking devices.
GPS trackers like Linxup collect comprehensive data on vehicle routes and driver behavior, which you can use to reduce your fuel usage by up to 8 gallons per vehicle per month. By simply tracking their vehicles, many fleets are able to reduce their fuel usage by up to 20%.
Did you know that your vehicles could burn up to a full gallon of gas for every 60 minutes spent idling? On top of that, vehicles that spend approximately an hour idling each day put nearly 69,000 miles of additional wear and tear on their engine.
Insights collected by GPS tracking devices can help you determine where and why your drivers are idling so you can take steps to eliminate this wasteful behavior and reduce your fuel usage.
With a GPS tracker, you can monitor routes and easily pinpoint opportunities to reduce idling, such as long traffic lights or roads with stop-and-go traffic, and update your routes accordingly. You can also easily keep track of the worst idlers in your fleet using real-time alerts for excessive idling, as well as detailed idling reports.
Additionally, you can use the information collected by your GPS device to encourage and incentivize drivers to turn off their engines when the vehicle is in use. Idling is significantly more wasteful than stopping and restarting your engine. According to the EPA, restarting an engine uses no more more fuel than idling for 20 seconds, and has very little harmful impact on vehicle components.
Slower and steady wins the race when it comes to fuel economy. Simply reducing speed from 75 MPH to 65 MPH can reduce fuel use by up to 20%, yet speeding remains one of the most commonly reported wasteful driving habits.
With real-time alerts for wasteful driving behaviors like speeding, rapid acceleration, and harsh braking, you can help your drivers stay on track and maintain fuel-efficient speeds, as well as determine which drivers would benefit from additional coaching. The best GPS tracking systems also allow you to customize your alerts so you only receive notifications when drivers exceed a set speed threshold, which will help minimize clutter in your email inbox so you can focus on the drivers that need the most assistance.
By reviewing routes and monitoring live traffic updates, you can schedule your drivers more effectively in order to reduce drive time and fuel usage.
With features like real-time location tracking and interactive route replay, GPS trackers make it easy to determine which routes run smoothly and efficiently as well as which routes need to be tweaked. You can also input customer information and group clients by location in order to create more efficient schedules and reduce drive time and fuel usage.
Learn more about how Linxup GPS trackers can help you optimize routing.
Efficient dispatch can help you limit the amount of time your drivers spend on the road travelling between locations. GPS tracking systems improve dispatch in a number of ways. When you track your drivers with a GPS device, you can:
Issues like low tire pressure are easy to overlook, but can unnecessarily increase your fleet's fuel usage. Keeping your vehicles in top condition by sticking to your routine maintenance schedule will keep your vehicles running more efficiently so they use less fuel.
With a GPS tracking device, you can automate preventive maintenance schedules so you never miss a tune-up again. Simply input routine maintenance such as oil changes or vehicle inspections and create an alert for upcoming repairs or maintenance. Alerts can be scheduled based on miles traveled, hours of usage, or scheduled dates.
Learn more about tracking maintenance schedules.
Misuse or unauthorized use of company vehicles is one of the most common causes of unnecessary fuel consumption. With customizable geofences and alerts for after-hours or unauthorized use, tracking your vehicles makes it easy to validate that drivers are using their vehicles appropriately and can help you cut down on employees using vehicles (and fuel) without permission.
GPS tracking devices are a powerful tool for reducing your fuel usage. By monitoring routes and driver behavior, you can optimize scheduling, encourage efficient driving habits, and take steps to eliminate wasteful behaviors like speeding and unauthorized use.

Today I am continuing the ½ marathon blog challenge by writing a series for newly married couples and new parents (but feel free to stick around even if neither of these describes you!). As I mentioned yesterday, David and I have been navigating the early days of parenthood and might be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel…or so we hope. Smile
David has done a wonderful job this year in communicating his care for me in various ways. He has encouraged me to take a "breather" for short periods of time. Never again will I be fully free from distractions, but there are ways that I can take off my "mommy" hat and be…Jennifer. One of the ways he's helped me is by taking the baby from my hands and sending me to our room to relax for a little while. Husbands, this will be most appreciated by your wife…mooooooost appreciated! Sometimes he will take the monitor and go in the other room so I can take an undisturbed nap. As moms, it doesn't matter how well Baby is sleeping – we still listen for that inevitable cry that jolts through each fiber of our bodies. This means when we lay down for a nap it's not really all that restful. David knows this and so on the weekends he will often give up the opportunity of a nap to play with an early-awakened baby while I sleep on for a bit.
Occasionally, he will also take the wooden spoon out of my hand and tell me to get away from the stove. He banishes me from the kitchen and to our room so I can relax for a few moments while he finishes dinner preparations. As a mama, by the time night falls (and that lovely "witching hour" most babies taunt their parents with) we are often so exhausted that bedtime at 7:30pm sounds glorious for us, as well as our little ones! These tiny moments do so much in reviving me for the evening. I can then tackle projects, cleaning the kitchen, etc.! Now, guys, if food preparation is not your forte and concerns your wife to no end – do not be discouraged! Stay tuned for an even more brilliant way to bless your wife!
Essentially, it's not the elaborate aspects of what you do….it's that you DO something. I know my husband is exhausted after a long day of work. And then he steps in the house and becomes "Husband" and "Father." So for him to make these efforts towards blessing me??? Honestly, I'm happier than if he sent me to the Ritz for a day! (Love, please don't let the previous sentence keep you from sending me there IF you ever so desire. 'K? Great!) Wives, obviously the tables can be turned here. When the hubby steps in the door, you can keep him from doing some task he heads right for and send him to relax for a few moments, etc.
Check back tomorrow for one of David's favorites!

What: The UK government and EU have agreed on a deal for EU citizens and UK nationals regarding residence status. The agreement, titled the EU Settlement Scheme, will guarantee that after the UK's planned departure from the EU on March 29, 2019, EU citizens (along with family) in the UK and UK citizens (along with family) in the EU can continue their residence status without disruption. The Withdrawal Agreement also covers what happens during the period immediately after the UK leaves the EU, known as the implementation period. This period will run from 30 March 2019 to 31 December 2020.
In order to secure their rights, EU citizens will be required to apply for settled status through the EU Settlement Scheme. The scheme will open fully by 30 March 2019.
Despite the proposed agreement between the EU and the UK's negotiators, the UK parliament has not agreed to the above. Therefore, this agreement remains pending until the Parliament agrees to move forward in this capacity.
Who Is Affected: All Aires clients with EU citizens in the UK
For EU citizens to maintain UK residence status under the EU Settlement Scheme:
Obtaining status under the scheme means EU citizens can continue to live and work in the UK as they normally do now.
Also, they will still be eligible for benefits such as:

An Unwanted House Guest
While working on the yard after work today, we spotted this little guy. Just hanging out, clinging on to a bit of parsley.
We ended up removing him, and putting him outside the garden box. Soon after sharing the image on social media, I found (from two different people no less) that this guy was a Swallowtail butterfly caterpillar.
I hated to relocate the little dude (he seemed pretty chill, even when we snapped off the parlsey he was clinging to). But as much as I want to see the butterfly transformation, we needed to get him out of the garden box (and Liz's herbs).

The recent Court of Appeal decision in Payne v Payne [2018] EWCA Civ 985 (full case here) has emphasised just how important witness evidence can be in a probate claim.
The case involved two wills made by John Henry Adrian Payne ("Mr Payne"), who died in August 2012 aged 74. Mr Payne was twice married. From his first marriage he had four children. In 1997 he married his second wife, "Mrs Payne".
The two wills
In 1998, Mr Payne made a will ("the 1998 Will"), which left the majority of his estate to Mrs Payne. The 1998 Will contained an attestation clause, and accordingly there was a presumption that it had been duly executed. The attestation clause contained spaces for the two witnesses to write their names, addresses and occupations. However, there was no space for the witnesses to actually put their signature. As such, while both witnesses had clearly printed their names, they did not "sign" it in the usual way.
In 2012 Mr Payne made another will ("the 2012 Will"), which appeared to homemade. The 2012 Will left legacies of £15,000 each to Mrs Payne, and to Mr Payne's grandson, "Thomas", with the remainder of the estate left to "John", one of his sons from his first marriage. Unlike the 1998 Will, the 2012 Will contained an additional space for the witnesses to sign the will in the usual way. The witnesses to it were Thomas's girlfriend, and her mother.
Mr Payne died in 2012. His estate was worth approximately £600,000.
The claim
Following Mr Payne's death a series of disputes commenced between John and his family and Mrs Payne and her family. This led to John and Thomas bringing a claim seeking proof of the 2012 Will in solemn form. Mrs Payne defended the claim on the basis that it had not been duly executed, and made a counterclaim for the 1998 Will to be admitted in solemn form instead.
Initially, the claimants (i.e. John and his family) were legally represented. Mrs Payne remained unrepresented at all times, though she did have some ad hoc help from the Bar Pro Bono Unit.
The first hearing
At the first hearing, Her Honour Judge Faber heard oral evidence from the witnesses to the 2012 Will, Thomas' girlfriend and her mother, as to the signing and witnessing of the will.
The judge found both witnesses to be "utterly unreliable", and that any presumption of due execution that might have previously existed, had been displaced by their "manifest untrustworthiness". Accordingly, the judge would not admit the 2012 Will to probate.
In respect of the 1998 Will, Mrs Payne was not able to produce the original, despite the fact that she knew it was being held by Winchester District Probate Registry. It is worth noting here the requirement under CPR r57.5(1) for Mrs Payne to lodge with the court any testamentary documents of which she had possession or control, including the original 1998 Will. As a litigant in person, Mrs Payne was unaware of her responsibility to provide the document and, for a time, the fact that she had not done so went unnoticed.
Additionally, Mrs Payne had not thought to obtain witness evidence from the two witnesses to the 1998 Will. When questioned why she had not done so, she simply responded "why should I do that?" Mrs Payne herself was also found to be "not an entirely reliable witness" and, accordingly, Judge Faber held that she could not admit the 1998 Will to probate either. As a result, Mr Payne would die intestate.
The appeal
Both parties applied for permission to appeal the decision. John's application was rejected, but Mrs Payne was granted permission to appeal. The matter was subsequently referred to the Court of Appeal.
Crucially, by this time Mrs Payne had accepted that she needed to obtain witness evidence in support of her counterclaim, and by then she had obtained two short affidavits from the witnesses to the 1998 Will, Mr Gordon and Mr Hogwood. Mrs Payne also called Mr Gordon to give oral evidence at the appeal hearing.
The Court of Appeal found Mr Gordon to be a clear, confident, truthful and reliable witness, and therefore accepted his evidence.
In reaching their conclusion, the Court held that, despite the fact that there was no specific space for a signature, by clearly writing their names in the space provided in the attestation clause, Mr Hogwood and Mr Gordon had intended to witness the will; there could be no other logical explanation as to why they would have printed their names there, other than to say they had witnessed Mr Payne sign his will. As such, the Court held that the 1998 Will had, indeed, been properly executed, and held, therefore, that it should be put to probate..
This decision demonstrates that witness evidence, whether good or bad, can be of paramount importance to a probate claim. Indeed, in this case, the original claim failed due to the untrustworthiness of the witnesses, whilst the counterclaim was ultimately successful because of the reliable evidence eventually placed before the court.
Additionally, the case highlights some of the evidential and procedural problems that may arise as a result of a lack specialist advice. Whilst Mrs Payne ultimately succeeded as a litigant in person, had she been legally represented her witness could have been present at the first hearing and the need to involve the Court of Appeal could have been avoided, thus saving time and costs. Mrs Payne candidly confirmed this herself in her skeleton argument, stating "I am a litigant in person and was ignorant to the evidential requirements to prove the intention of the attesting witnesses. Neither did I know that this would be needed".
