[Editor's Note: This BPD press release originally mentioned the race of the suspects at the point where they were spotted by the Oakland police. The racial adjective has been omitted by the Planet from this posting of the otherwise verbatim BPD press release because it adds nothing useful to the story, since race alone is not enough information to apprehend a suspect without additional descriptors.]
On 8/30/16 at 5:37pm, the Berkeley Police Communications Center received a report of a vehicle versus pedestrian collision near the intersection of California and Oregon Streets in south Berkeley. Officers responded to the scene and found an elderly female victim on the ground with life-threatening injuries. The victim was transported by the Berkeley Fire Department to the Alameda County Hospital where she underwent surgery for injuries and is expected to survive. Initial information was difficult to obtain from the victim due to a language barrier.
It was later determined what occurred was more than a case of hit and run. Through an interpreter the victim shared that as she parked her car an SUV pulled up next to her. She said that after she got out, someone punched her in the face and knocked her to the ground while someone else pulled her bag away from her. -more-

On Sept. 15, 1996, thousands of people gathered at The Circle in Berkeley's Northbrae neighborhood to celebrate a landmark occasion: the dedication of the restored Fountain at The Circle, the sparkling centerpiece of the city's first public art project.
Designed by famed architect John Galen Howard and erected in 1911, the original fountain had been gone from The Circle for nearly 40 years, after being struck and destroyed by a runaway truck in 1958. Meanwhile, Howard's adjacent Fountain Walk had become overgrown and fallen into serious disrepair.
This month, the fountain celebrates another landmark: its 20th birthday – a milestone reached thanks in large part to neighbors and friends near and far who have donated generously to keep it smoothly functioning and flowing over the years. -more-
a self-driving car tried to take me
to a place I did not want to go
it kept going faster and faster

that self-driving car was annoying
it just had a mind of its own
it wanted a clear destination my dear
and me I just want to go home
Consider the major differences in the political life of African Americans during the 1960s and now. Let's take the very important issue of voting rights. Among the major achievements then was the voting rights bill in 1965, which gave African Americans their long overdue right to vote. Also, suffrage has served for some as a springboard for political office. Over 40 African Americans, for example, now serve in the House of Representatives. Many others have been elected to State and local government positions. -more-
Hundreds of thousands of healthy trees are targeted for eradication; precious SF East Bay forests that mitigate global warming, create oxygen, sequester carbon, are home to wildlife and provide renewal for you, your children and your grandchildren. Thousands of gallons of Monsanto Roundup and Dow Garlon will follow the deforestation, poisoning plants, land, waterways, wildlife, pets, children and adults alike. -more-
You can put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig. This is a perfect description of Donald Trump, who marches to his own drummer, adheres to his own set of morals, and has seduced millions of Americans into believing that his tremendous brain and business acumen are just what the country needs. -more-
Can we accord priority to the most important issue? It seems we don't give sufficient importance to values-orientated education. By 'education' I don't mean the acquisition of book knowledge or perfection in sports. I mean awareness of our responsibilities towards other human beings as I was shocked to learn about how some American athletes behaved in Rio. Winning a gold medal should not entitle an athlete to behave badly. I wish our team had the character to act responsibly while they were guests. Can we regain our reputation as decent Americans? -more-

Women finally got a piece of the action in 1920. Passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution provided American women with full voting rights fifty years after all American men were enabled to vote. Sixteen other nations had already guaranteed women this right.
August 26th is designated as Women's Equality Day to commemorate this event. Women's Equality Day is officially proclaimed in some locales. It was instituted by Congressional Representative Bella Abzug (1920-1998) when she was 60 years old. Women and girls have come a long way but there is still much work to be done to achieve true equity. Women's Equality Day is not on the calendars of the Berkeley public library, the City of Berkeley, nor Berkeley senior centers. -more-
On August 17th, Donald Trump once again shook up his campaign. While there were early indications that Trump would "soften" his image, these were refuted by the August 19th release of his first general election campaign ad "Two Americas: Immigration". This TV ad stems from the same darkness that fueled Trump's acceptance speech: bigotry and hate. -more-
By mid-morning on August 12, more than a foot of rain had fallen near Kentwood, Louisiana, in just a 12-hour stretch — a downpour with an estimated likelihood of just once every 500 years, and roughly three months' worth of rainfall during a typical hurricane season. It's the latest in a string of exceptionally rare rainstorms that are stretching the definition of "extreme" weather. It's exactly the sort of rainstorm that's occurring more frequently as the planet warms. -more-
If you have a life-changing psychiatric illness, the expectation that you can't work a job can be bad for you, yet so can the expectation that you can.

Today I have a scrapbook layout of the Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom.I actually ended up going on this particular ride twice in December. Because of this birthday, Ethan was given a fastpass to use on any ride of his choosing and he chose to go on this ride a second time (much to the chagrin of his older brother who was trying to convince him to go on a roller coaster . . . )
Once again, we are using some retiring colors . The Tempting Turquoise and Tangerine Tango colors will be retiring at the end of the month.
This layout will work well for lots of occasions with it's bright colors. I look forward to seeing the pictures Scrap Club members will choose to use on their pages!
Thank you for coming by to visit. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

With a student population hailing from more than 10 countries, Vine Middle School has found an activity that is helping to bring students together — soccer.
After 20 years without a soccer team at Vine, the community came together last year to restart the school's soccer program. This week, the team hosted a special Donor Appreciation Celebration to thank the Knoxville Volunteer Rotary Club, SMART Institute, Emerald Youth Sports, YOKE, Knoxville Parks and Recreation and Knoxville Football Club/Crush Soccer for their generous support.
"Soccer is a universal sport. Sixty-seven percent of our team members are immigrants. Many of these students have grown up playing soccer, so to bring that into what they're doing at the school, that's a big deal for these students," explained Kendra Berry, Vine Community School resource coordinator. "Everybody needs community, their squad, their tribe, their place to belong. We're doing that now with soccer and we're super excited."
Great Schools Partnership's Community Schools strategy was founded on the belief that by working together, we can foster student, school, family and community success. The restart of Vine's soccer program is a great example of what we can do for our kids when multiple partners come together.
"We felt that outfitting the soccer program was a unique way to build community pride and help assimilate and unify a population of students from very different geographical and cultural backgrounds," said Knoxville Volunteer Rotary Club member Jim Holleman.
Students from seven countries make up Vine's team this year: USA, Swaziland, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, and Guatemala.

Philanthropy and Project Management: Giving Money
Giving money is an act of generosity. This article explores the act of giving money, how it fits into philanthropy, and the importance of sound project management to the process. It is important to note that giving money is only a part (albeit a critical one!) of the process of a philanthropic venture. By itself it requires careful management and nurturing. As this series progresses, we will explore higher and higher levels of management sophistication – and effectiveness at achieving noble philanthropic objectives. This is the first part of a series of four articles on "Philanthropy and Project Management", where we explore the intersection of these two fields and how strong project and program management is so critical to philanthropic initiatives. This article, Part 1 in the series, "Philanthropy and Project Management: Giving Money", looks at the management challenges related to giving money. Part 2, "Philanthropy and Project Management: Giving Time", looks at the management challenges related to giving time. Part 3, "Philanthropy and Project Management: Charity", focuses on the bigger picture of purposefulness but with a strictly tactical approach. Finally, Part 4, "Philanthropy and Project Management: Program Management", dives into purpose AND strategy in advanced philanthropic efforts. Raising money for charitable causes is no small task. But before looking at some of the nuances of this daunting and commendable task, let's take a look at where it fits into the whole picture. The big question is: what is the money to be used for? This is the ultimate purpose for the fundraising project. The better the answer is to this question, the better foundation you will have to the fundraising efforts. Fundraisers basically are executing a sort of marketing project. They are marketing the opportunity to give money – to help people, advance a cause, and do good things. From a project management perspective, there will be many considerations in organizing this fundraising project:
- Purpose – back to the key question of 'what is the money to be used for?'
- Objective: how much money is needed and when?
- Finding donors: what is the target group of donors, how can you reach them, and what is the compelling message to them?
- Resources required: will there be up front money, facilities, and paid/volunteer personnel?
- Milestones:
a. Develop marketing communication pieces – web page, brochure, visuals b. Procure facility for making phone calls, doing mailings, assembling communications c. Get paid personnel engaged d. Recruit volunteers e. Plan and execute events f. Collect the money g. Distribute the money 6. Risks: what might be the objections, what in the execution plan might go awry, what are the contingencies, what can you do now to reduce the chances of bad things happening and increase the chances of good things happening? Getting people to donate money is a complex, challenging, and rewarding task. Strong project management can help to improve the odds of success and enhance the results. Can you identify a fundraising effort that could benefit from the addition of professional project management practices?
This post is part of the series: Philanthropy and Project Management
This series of four articles looks at the many facets of how philanthropy intersects with project management.

Veterinarians in a zombie apocalypsePosted: June 12, 2012 Filed under: Animals, Veterinary | Tags: animals, apocalypse, survival, veterinarians, vets, zombie apocalypse, zombies Leave a comment
The AVMA published a list of 5 reasons you would want a veterinarian on your team during a zombie apocalypse. All good reasons (avoiding bites? Hah) though not all of them are applicable to your everyday small animal vet. Look, if there's a zombie apocalypse, my plan is to stick to a hunter with a gun (with a very well stocked supplies and secure shelter).

VW Amarok Might Come to the U.S. Through Commercial Division – Future Car Pondering
The almost dead and forgotten compact truck market in the U.S. could get an infusion of excitement with the introduction of the VW Amarok. More rumors abound about its possible introduction.
For years, VW has been answering questions about when the Amarok could make its North American debut. There are a slew of reasons why U.S. buyers want it. It is a strong, reliable diesel powered pickup that is compact to get the job done without the bulkiness of a full-size truck. The compact truck has all but disappeared in North American with the current trucks, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, being all that is left.
The current "fanning of the flames" came at the Frankfurt auto show. Jonathan Browning, chief executive of VW Group of America, told Reuters during an interview that VW's commericial divison could come to the U.S. Why would that bring the Amarok over here? It is because the commericial divison builds the truck.
"There are preliminary discussions (with VW's Wolfsburg-based management) but no definitive plans at the moment," Browning said according to an Autonews.com story. The commercial vehicles "certainly represent an opportunity."
This discussion was most likely sparked when discussing VW's plan to be the largest automaker in the world. In order to do that, VW wants to move 800,000 VW-brand and 200,000 Audi-brand models in the U.S. by 2018. If that were to happen, VW would pass over Toyota Motor Corp. and General Motors to become the world's largest automaker (a coveted title).
Introducing a full vehicle lineup with commercial options seems like the best way to accomplish that. Yet, Browning said the current plan is to focus on selling more of its core lineup. A commercial operation is under discussion, but that "would be a second phase."
Last year, VW sold 438,133 VW-branded units and 139,310 Audi-branded units. Both 2012 sales numbers represented sales records for VW.
What do you think? Would VW be smart to expand their lineup or focus on just moving more product?

THE Spanish High Court has declared that employees are not obliged to give their bosses their personal mobile phone numbers or email addresses and cancelled clauses demanding this on work contracts.
The ruling came with regards to a complaint lodged by Comisiones Obreras trades union regarding a telesales company which had included a clause in new contracts demanding workers provided personal contact details 'voluntarily' and agreed that communications regarding the contract (including redundancy notices) could be sent by text message or email.
Employment judges from the High Court have decided these clauses are abusive and must be annulled as workers may well feel forced into signing, meaning they are not voluntary at all.
"The workers are the weaker parties here and as the clause is included in the contract by the company when they are about to start a job they may feel they are not free to say no," the sentence declared.
Although it may well be useful nowadays for companies to have this type of contact detail for their employees, they must be provided entirely voluntarily by the workers and never requested on work contracts as this goes against the Data Protection Act.
"In the past work relationships worked perfectly well without this type of instrument," a High Court judge concluded.

You are daydreaming about the future because you have not tasted the present. Start tasting the present. Find out a few moments where you are simply delighting. Looking at the trees, just be the look. Listening to the birds, just be a listening ear. Let them reach to your deepest core. Let their song spread all over your being.
Wow – it took me a while to find the right quote for today's journal entry. I had started out with something entirely different but my computer was definitely not liking it – a message from the Universe to switch gears perhaps?
I do like the quote that I settled upon. All of the sudden, Osho came into my head and I found a whole page of Osho quotes and this one seemed the most fitting of all. So, while I was sitting outside this morning with L (it is now Sunday), I was just trying to be in the moment with her. Of course, one shouldn't have to "try" – it should just flow into being.
We are getting ready to go out and do our grocery shopping. It is a rather mundane task but it is what we do. When L asked me this morning what I wanted to do I hesitated to answer. A part of me thinks that grocery shopping is too mundane a chore and we would be better off spending our time sitting on the shores of a beautiful ocean somewhere, pondering the mysteries of life and simply "being", as Osho admonishes.
But life does go on and there are things one must do in life to "grease the wheels", as it were. I guess grocery shopping is simply one of those tasks. So then, the aspiration in performing such a task is to turn its mundaneity (yes, I am making up words now) into something both relevant and intrinsic – as though it has a deep value to our lives. After all, every moment of every day is important and unique and shall never be repeated in exactly the same way again.
Reflecting upon the photo that I included in this journal entry, my initial inclination was to find a quote related to surrealism because that is the one word that came to mind in looking at the photograph. Most of the quotes on surrealism that I found had a general theme, being that what was once simply an art movement has now become the reality of our lives. We live in surrealistic times. There is an exaggeration to everything and perhaps this is a result of our continually wanting (and being preached to want) more. Always and forever more. It is a by-product of our democratic-turned-plutocracy consumeristic, Dow Jones driven mind-set that right now, this moment, is never enough. We have to continually want more. More products, better TVs, a higher "Dow Jones Industrial Average", more money, more guns, more bad news, more bad policiticians. . . ah . . . but I digress (or do I?)
Osho extols the virtue of just being "Now". More or No More – does it really make a difference at all? Who wins, who loses, what is the benchmark? What is success, or failure – failure being the seed that plants future success . . . maybe.

Just Be Now.

On Sunday morning, Silent Sam was found spray-painted with "black lives matter," "KKK" and "murderer."
Calls to remove the statue have been met with arguments about preserving history.
History professor Harry Watson said he believes Silent Sam is important to the University's history but perpetuates a false narrative about the Civil War.
"The place to learn history is in class and newspapers, not monuments," Watson said.

Gina Rodriguez Tears Up As She Gets A Surprise Visit From Acting Teacher
Gina Rodriguez Tears Up As She Gets A Surprise Visit From Acting Teacher
Gina Rodriguez was in the entertainment business for a decade before landing her dream role on "Jane the Virgin," an experience she knows many actors face when starting out their careers. But the 33-year-old knows that if it weren't for her education, she might have never made it anywhere.
Rodriguez, who is set to voice Mary in Sony's animated nativity film called "The Star," opened up about her struggle to break through in the industry during a Monday interview with HuffPost on Build Series ― before getting a pleasant surprise.
She discovered her NYU Tisch School of the Arts acting teacher, Rosemary Quinn, seated in the audience for the Q&A. Rodriguez couldn't help but get teary-eyed as she thanked Quinn for providing the "tool belt" she needed to succeed in Hollywood.
"This woman changed my life, y'all," she said, holding back tears. "Education. Rosemary Quinn is the best. You want to be an actress? Learn from that woman, because she will change your life, clearly. Thank you, Rosemary. I can never thank you enough."
After the full-circle moment, Rodriguez took time out of her busy schedule to crash Quinn's classroom and surprise unsuspecting students.
We're sure she reiterated exactly what she told the audience at Build Series ― that is, to never give up on your dreams no matter how hard it gets.
"All the dreams that I made when I was in that place [NYU], all the goals I set, I'm only now living," she said. "So, here's a testament to going after what you love, because as a 33-year-old woman who wanted to be an actress before she graduated college, who said she was going to be 'discovered' before she graduated college, that did not happen. But what else didn't happen was I didn't give up, I didn't stop and I'm not going to stop, because I'm nowhere near the kind of dreams that I now have created because I was able to see the other ones through."

"Now, with CATA, Flintbox can plug into CATA's membership."This is in line with Vancouver-based Flintbox's current strategy of teaming up with industry associations to bring more interested parties into the fold. Flintbox has been luring them in with customized experiences.According to Flintbox president Steve Smith, the company has been diversifying its offerings by designing for trade associations—such as Precarn—portals that allow their members to manage their memberships, profiles and contact groups. The portal then feeds into the Flintbox database, which would be branded with the association's look-and-feel.From ComputerWorld CanadaIT user group to marry with vendors through mergerThe database now has over 4,000 profiles, split evenly between research institutions (including universities, colleges, agencies, federal government labs and hospitals) and companies on the prowl for innovative ideas; the revenue model is based on membership and profile fees.It all started in the early nineties when Smith was working at the University of British Columbia as the liaison between the commercial world and the research world. With the goals of getting products to market quicker, streamlining licensing and better enabling the knowledge transfer between companies and research entities, he designed the online system that would eventually become Flintbox.Other technology transfer offices began asking to use it, especially after an early success with the BC Cancer Agency during the SARS scare when they were able to more easily license the software that helped isolate the virus.The product helped facilitate over 1,500 licenses, which was in line with where Smith wanted to take the project."The challenge with technology commercialization people is that they want to make as much economically for their university as possible, not for society at large," Smith said. "It's not necessarily evil—it's just their specific mandate."Some CANARIE funding enabled Smith to scale the project outward into a national network with dozens of research institutions, and, eventually, into an online system that also included companies and what they were looking for. This taps into the trend of how many companies aren't doing their research and development in-house. "So they're looking to license from other places," according to Smith.Flintbox's current 2.0 incarnation as, said Smith, a "intellectual property exchange and social network tool for innovation" has been in place for almost a year, and the company continues to evolve. In addition to its portals work and partnerships with trade associations, Flintbox has another couple of projects on the go.The Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade recently approached Smith about collaborating with Flintbox in a pilot with 100 trade offices all over the world. Schedule to roll out in the second quarter, the project would plug the consulates into the database and possibly facilitate collaboration with foreign companies. Flintbox also will offer a type of outsourcing service—for companies that don't want to pore over the database, Flintbox will find the right fit and make up the service agreements for them.

What to do if your water heater breaks?
It's easy for us to take so many things for granted in our homes, including modern conveniences like electricity, running water, and heat. So when one or more of those things go away for whatever reason, we're reminded very quickly of how good we have it. Especially when that thing is the water heater! Talk about homeowner stress – it might not be a quick and easy fix, and that might mean you're about to spend a lot more money than you'd like to. But even if it isn't broken right now, take a few minutes to learn what to do if your water heater breaks so you'll be prepared if and when it happens. We'll give you the major things to look for, how to ensure your safety, and some tips on how to save money in the process.
- Most water heaters are rated to last a decade or more, but you can probably add years of life to yours by simply checking on it periodically. Feel the fittings and if they're loose, snug them up. Check for any leaks around the base of the heater. This will help you avoid costly water damage problems resulting from mold and other flooding issues.
- If you're worried that your water heater might be close to dying, listen for a rumbling sound and look for any minor leaks that might be developing near the supply lines. If you find either of these, it might be time to replace it before it fails or, worst case, ruptures. The corrosion that takes place can combine with other rust inside the water heater itself to create problems. As sediment builds up inside, it can speed the failure of the heater. A faulty thermostat can also create a safety issue and make your heater fail.
- If you find any of the major issues mentioned above, keep yourself safe by turning off the water heater right away and taking the following additional steps:
- For a gas heater, turn the thermostat dial to OFF and shut off the gas supply line. For an electric heater, go ahead and turn it off at the circuit breaker to be safe.
- Next, turn off the water supply valve to the heater, and if you're not 100% sure that it's off, you can always do the same for your home's main water supply.
- Now it's time to drain the heater. If you don't have an emergency drain next to the heater, you can hook up a hose to the drain valve and run it outside or to another lower sink or drain. Use a tool to open the drain valve, and then open the pressure relief valve so there won't be a vacuum. Remember: the water is probably still hot, so exercise caution here by wearing protective clothing and eyewear, and make sure you don't have any loved ones around to get scalded.
- After the heater is completely drained, open the water supply back up briefly to rinse out any of the sediment that's still at the bottom of the tank.
- Finally, call a service professional to help you assess how to move forward with replacing your water heater. We know water heaters aren't cheap, but if you're proactive with inspections and make the hard call to replace it when you know it's bad, at least you'll avoid a huge water damage bill to go along with it!
- If you're in the worst-case scenario where the water heater exploded and leaked everywhere in your home, then after you've taken the steps above, catalog plenty of pictures to help with your homeowners insurance claim. You may need to call a water damage professional such as AdvantaClean to dry out the space completely.
- Depending on your policy and deductible, it might be worth calling your homeowners insurance company even if you don't think there was a major flooding issue.

Video: Module 8 – How Much Financing do I Need?
Presenter: Andrew Earnshaw
One of the hardest things to do when a person is starting a business is determining how much financing or how much money in general I really need to get this business off the ground.
It's usually not too difficult to do the research, come up with a list of things that you need to purchase when you first start the business, and those are your initial start up costs in terms of the equipment you might need or inventory to get going, that kind of thing. At that point a lot of folks sometimes stop, and that's a mistake. Figuring out how much you really need is a little more complicated than that. We'll turn now to a tool called cash flow to come up with a better analysis.
The best way to think about cash flow is using a computer. You'll find in your business plan materials that you probably got some paper cash flows that have blanks you can fill in. You can use your calculator to add up how much cash comes in in a given period, how much goes out. They're a good start, but the problem with them is that they're really hard to change the numbers in there. The best way to do this is using a software on a computer called a spreadsheet, and the most popular one is one called Microsoft Excel.
So here as you can see we have an example cash flow. This is one we just made up, a start up business for its first three months. Sales are going to start kind of low and build over the first three months. The first thing you'll notice is that sales, particularly in the first couple of months, are not enough to cover all the expenses. So we learn the first thing from our cash flow is that we didn't have enough money to start this business, simply by buying all the things that we need. We needed a buffer, we needed some operating capital to actually survive the first few months in the case of most businesses the first couple of years of a business and the cash flow helped us determine how much operating capital we were going to need.
The second thing you can see is now, let's take a look at, okay, we guessed we had a pretty good guess of how much our sales were going to be. But what if our sales are only 60 per cent of what we thought they were going to be? So we can go and change that in the computer. So in summary, you can see how useful the computer is for doing this kind of analysis. If you don't have access to software like this, go into a local business development centre, get one of the business counsellors to help you come up with a cash flow for your business. And as you do your business plan research, go back to it many times, change the numbers, put in new stuff, ask yourself what if expenses are going to be a little higher than I thought they were going to be? How much cash do I need to really start this business, not only for those start up costs, but also for operating capital and to survive in the beginning stages.

A rising variety of start-ups and bigger corporations have begun to experiment with blockchain's utility for fixing public well being crises — just like the opioid epidemic in the USA.
Cryptocurrencies have had a testy relationship with some legislation enforcement figures in the USA, who see well-liked kinds like Bitcoin as a scapegoat for an ongoing opioid disaster.
The notorious Silk Highway market, generally related to drug gross sales, accepted Bitcoin for transactions. This put the digital coin below the scrutiny of legislation enforcement after authorities shuttered the location and arrested the notorious Ross Ulbricht (Dread Pirate Roberts).
In Might, authorities arrested Aaron Shamo and accused him of promoting fentanyl. Police stated he accepted Bitcoin as fee and allegedly discovered greater than 500 digital cash in his residence.
Cryptocurrency As A Scapegoat
At roughly the identical time, a rising variety of legislation enforcement officers asserted how Bitcoin was fueling the opioid disaster because it was getting used as a software to buy lethal medicine from locations like China.
Some authorities officers, like Legal professional Normal Jeff Classes, have advocated for anti-money laundering laws that might crack down on digital forex to "assist us make extra arrests of these promoting these lethal substances on-line."
Nevertheless, analysis exhibits lower than 1% of all Bitcoin transactions have felony undertones. Now there are a rising variety of corporations trying into how blockchain can be utilized to assist stem the opioid disaster.
Blockchain Will get To Work
Business large IBM has been working with the U.S. Facilities for Illness Management (CDC) on an information challenge that would assist flip the tide in opposition to the opioid disaster.
The CDC has been serving to IBM construct a blockchain-based surveillance system to assist hospitals and docs get details about prescriptions. The thought is to get knowledge about what forms of persons are in search of care, in addition to understanding how antibiotics and opioids are prescribed.
In late April, Bloomberg reported on efforts by Intel and plenty of well being corporations to provide you with a blockchain-based system to trace the place and the way medicine leak out of the provision chain.
By monitoring medicine and medicines from the producer to their closing vacation spot, some suppose it might be a lot simpler to watch addicted individuals heading to a number of docs for extra prescriptions.

Crimes against children as the victims are one of the most grievous crimes you can commit. The injuries suffered by children are often worse than if the victim was an adult. Permanent damage can result from such injuries. For the rest of the child's life, he or she may remain permanently disabled. The reckless assault against the children is often can also result in permanent brain damage. Under the New York penal code Law, you face a high risk of prosecution if you assault an 18-year-old child and below. You can also be jailed if you shake, throw, or slam a five-year-old child or less. For you to face these charges, the child's brain must be damage.
They include:
• Intracranial hemorrhaging
• Subdural hemorrhaging
• External rotational cranial deceleration and acceleration
• Retinal hemorrhaging
• Other serious brain injury that affect the child severely. They can also cause the child to suffer a protracted physical impairment or die.
The shaken baby syndrome is the common type of injury a child can suffer. They are also linked to child abuse. However, a child does not have to be shaken to sustain such injuries. The child can be slammed or thrown.
A man accidentally shook her 11-month-old girlfriend's daughter because she was continually crying without stopping. The child was found clenching her fists in pain, unresponsive, unable to hold her head up, bruised, and eyes rolled back in the head. According to the doctor's conclusion, she suffered a traumatic injury to the brain. The man could also be prosecuted reckless child assault because she shook the child and suffered some injuries according to the New York Penal Code 120:02.
Related offenses
1. Luring Child: New York Penal Code 120:70
2. Aggravated Assault Upon an 11-year-old child and less: New York Penal Code 120:12
3. Reckless child assault by day care provider: New York Penal Code 120:01
For the prosecutor to prove that you committed this assault against the child, the child must be diagnosed with a serious type of physical injury. If the injury is not specified in the statute or less severe, then the prosecutor will not prove a case against him. Medical evidence is what the prosecutor heavily relies upon. To show that it does not meet the New York statutory requirements, you will argue your case using the medical evidence.
Reckless child assault is a Class D felony. A seven-year prison term is a maximum sentence you can face. Because this crime is classified as a felony, the judge will impose a two-year minimum prison sentence. Your prior criminal record will also affect the actual length of your sentence.
New York Penal Code 120.02: Reckless assault of a child
1. A person is confirmed guilty if they assault an 18-year-old and below child recklessly. Such a person must cause serious pain and injury to the child. If it is a five-year-old child and less, throwing or slamming the child can cause damage to his brain.
2. If your actions on the child result in serious cranial deceleration and acceleration, you will face the sentence. Serious child physical injury can result in retinal hemorrhaging, intracranial hemorrhaging, and subdural hemorrhaging.

Our school programs are at the heart of our community engagement to bring art to youth across the Chicago area. We empower students from a broad range of backgrounds through engaging explorations of art that critical thinking, creativity, and self-discovery. Our signature approach of discussing original artworks embraces individual perceptions, while our hands-on workshops build self-confidence and a deeper understanding of the creative process. Our programs in schools are:
In-School Programs
- ARTiculations: Ten-week art and writing residency ending in a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago
- The Language of Art: Three-week residency with professional artist visit
- Insight Onsight: One- or two-session discussions of original artwork led by our teaching artists
After-School Programs

Custom Programs
Art Encounter would love to work with you to create a custom program that fits the needs of your school and students! For more information, email our Community Outreach Manager, Leslie Luning, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"I have learned that my students have multiple modalities and ways to express themselves creatively. I have been able to use the techniques and Art Encounter's vocabulary into my day-to-day lessons. The students have found a variety of ways to express their artwork versus just doing the ordinary or expected thing to do. They have found their inner artist and creativity!"
-Janet Torres, teacher at Haugan School

I read recently about the sunspot named AR2192, which is supposed to have unleashed an X-class (large) solar flare recently. Unfortunately the skies have been cloudy all of last week, and hence there has not been an opportunity to image the sun. With forecast for clear skies on Sunday, I was hoping to finally have a chance to image AR2192.
This was particularly exciting, as my Baader adapter no. 27 which allows for direct coupling of digital cameras to the Baader Herschel Prism had arrived earlier in the week. This will allow for enough back focus for me to use my Micro 4/3rds cameras directly mounted to the Herschel prism; previously I needed my Celestron Ultima Barlow in order to extend the back focus enough to image with the Baader Herschel Prism.
These are the best images I've managed to get from my sessions, which was interrupted on many occasions by clouds. I've found the best setting for Baader Solar Continuum double stack, is at ISO 100 1/8000 with the E-P5. With the Baader U, I have to use ISO 200 1/4000 as that is the 'darkest' possible exposure I can get of the sun with my E-PL5. I used the Skywatcher ED80 mounted on the Astrotrac TT320X in solar guiding mode.
The largest sunspot is AR2192 and the smaller sunspot is AR2187. AR2186 is tucked away in the top right corner in the UV images, while they are to the right in the Solar continuum images.
Without the barlow, this system is certainly capable of capturing good amount of detail of the sun. I can't wait to borrow my friend's Skywatcher ED100, with focal length of 900mm (1800mm on Micro 4/3rds) which is 50% longer than my ED80. That should allow me to fill more of the sensor with the sun, and hopefully capture more detail of the sun spots.
The next level of solar imaging to consider would be H-alpha imaging of the sun's chromosphere. Will need to save up for the Daystar Quark Filter though.

These are my punk rock/Xray Spex/Nutkin socks. I love them. They were a gift from my friend Joe, square dancer extraordinaire. They are warm and cushy, and the colors are so fabulous and they remind me of this great punk T-shirt I used to have for the band Xray Spex (I told you I used to be cool). I am a boring nerd these days and my cool (but warm) socks are a reminder of my past. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it, and I love my socks.
Here's Chocho, she loves me. She sleeps with me every night. She looks kind of grumpy here, but she wasn't.
Ollie likes these socks though. They must have had a very nice Eau de Canine when I received them and he dug one of them out of my bag and did a victory trot away with it. Now they must smell like my feet and he's not too interested.
I haven't taken the photos yet, but if I haven't waxed my legs yet, just ignore that, okay? Thanks. Besides, I entitled this post "Nutkin" not "Fujiyamamama's Hairy Legs" so let's stay focused on the important stuff here, please.

so i'm sort in a state of writer's block these days, really more thinker's block if you will. staying way out of the zone where the brain is always churning stuff up and spewing out really brilliant reasons why everything is the way it is. i was sick for ten days this month. in the past three years, i can only remember being sick one time enough so that i actually had to stay in bed for only one day. and suddenly--in my 10 big sick days i probably stayed mostly in bed for at least 3 of them.
here's the thing(we're back to the thing again folks) i got sick because every night for the past few months when i went to bed my brain would kick into high gear, like it was the first time all day that it had a chance to get my attention. so it would jump into front and center mode and start unraveling the day in majestic proportions.(no sleep until about 3 in the morning every night turned into really bad cold and flu, hacking, coughing up a lung,)
i literally felt like mugatu and i had taken some crazy pills together. of course i haven't done anything half so grand as invent the piano key necktie or anything like that, but my brain kept trying to come up with the solutions for all of the seemingly very grandiose problems that were circulating in my life. even as i was fully aware and choosing not to rely on my old patterns of ego and mind habits to solve the situations that arose, my ego was really refusing to play along with that decision and so because i kept on telling it no during the day, it would kick in every night as i laid down to get some sleep. i ask you to try and imagine what it was like to drift off into deep slumber, all the while having craziness of the likes of will ferrell jabbering in your head about some ridiculous accomplishments that mean absolutely nothing in the long run.
wow, did i just totally ramble on without ever coming to a point there? what i mean to say is i have been really opening to operate from a soulspace point of view in my interactions and only calling on the tactics of ego as a tool. because my ego has always been the tool in the driver's seat, it doesn't like getting put into passenger mode and so the inner struggle kicks in at night when my defenses are low.
i came to an awareness this week that shifted the struggle. i have been on the offensive with the ego; going to the depths and heights of my being seeking the places it inhabits and trying to cast it out. such an offensive has literally created a warlike interior in my inner psyche--i picture it sort of like antibodies rushing around my blood, cleansing all aspects of foreign material. these little workers aren't recognizing that the foreign body is a gestating fetus(no this does not mean i am physically pregnant, but spiritually birthing a new me) and rather than trying to cleanse the foreign body, i am becoming aware that it is possible to incorporate all these pieces of me to become a greater whole. seems a very small awareness doesn't it? bringing ego and spirit into league with eachother, but the small shift in approach has amazingly changed the outer feeling.
my brain has finally settled, recognizes a way to be instead of do , and this just flows hand-in-hand with the soul part of me that rises to the surface to be authentic and conscious . it's as if i have finally learned to "turn right" , when before all i could give the world was a brilliant flash of "blue steel", i have finally opened to allowing the essential and stunning view of "magnum" as well. it's exactly the same and yet, a totally different view.

good analogy there. zoolander is hilarious and who would have thought that anyone could actually learn something from it! Sounds like you are reading the book "a new earth" by eckhart tolle. if not, i think you would like it. :)ReplyDelete
funny--i have been playing this whole mind game bizness my whole life and just in the last year have really been working to release myself from "ego dominance". it was through a little processwork that i came to the whole "why don't we all get along in this sandbox" philosophy and my health has been very grateful for the ceasefireReplyDelete

The 4 Hottest Hairstyling Looks at New York Fashion Week & How to Get Them
Fashion weeks aren't just a preview of upcoming sartorial trends. Style is about more than clothing, after all. Every designer and fashion house hires hair stylists and groomers to help tell a brand's latest story. The models, in turn, are a walking preview of the grooming trends that will soon flood the streets — sometimes even more commonly than the new clothes.
At the New York Fashion Week Men's shows, the hairstyles stood out. This is typical, but there were no major revelations with facial hair or makeup or anything in between. Bare faces are common at fashion shows, of course, but it's worth noting that the hairstyle trends we noticed do tend to suit a clean-shaven look, so maybe beards and five o'clock shadow are finally on their way out.
Before you book your next hair appointment, consider the following hairstyles. They'll be everywhere this year, so you'll at least get to say you beat everyone else to the punch.
Uniform buzz cuts
The lights are fading on the fade and here's a style you can actually do at home: the uniform buzz cut using a single guard. From a super-tight 0.5-millimeter or 1-millimeter buzz to a half-centimeter trim, models wore a single length of hair without any gradation from sides to top. Although this is achievable with a pair of clippers at home, we still recommend visiting a barber or salon for cleaner edges or rounded sides if you're otherwise prone to poofy corners.
Off the shoulders, down the sides
The next three trends all work together. The first of them: long hair, worn just off the shoulders. Don't tuck it behind the ears; let it fall to both sides freely. You might have been crawling during the early '90s era of grunge (or been a twinkle in its eye), so this is your chance to rock out.
Get some grooming cream to keep your hair from frizzing and some finishing spray to restrict its movement without cementing it in place. Or add a couple of drops of hair oil if you want to add a little shine and weight it down ever so slightly.
Defined parts
Be it off the shoulder or something edgier, we saw lots of hard parts on the New York runway. The simple way to describe the look is that they're the kinds of parts that require a comb or a clipped line, as opposed to hand-parted or a blown-over part. Palm Angels utilized the style best with its "goth raver" showcase, with models rocking hairstyles that were shorter or even asymmetrical.
Center parts
Another '90s staple making a comeback is the center part. In New York, they came in every type: defined or soft, off the shoulders or down the back, behind the ear or down the sides.
You too can move your natural part to the center like the models on the runway — just style it the same way you would the shoulder-length hair above. Start with a grooming cream combed into damp hair and either air-dried or blown dry. Finish with a control spray or a hair oil, or apply hair oil to dry hair if yours is long enough to weight itself down and not too thick and stubborn.

Over half-a-million UK taxpayers will be hit with daily fines from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for failing to file their tax returns, according to new reports.
An estimated 650,000 – 850,000 self-assessment taxpayers are yet to file their annual tax returns for the 2011-12 financial year; incurring additional daily fines for late returns from May 1, on top of an automatic £100 penalty for missing the initial January 31 cut-off.
In addition to the £100 penalty, daily £10 fines will be issued up to a maximum of £900 – giving taxpayers three months to get their house in order before being hit by further penalties.
An HMRC spokesman said: "Anyone who hasn't yet sent their 2011-12 tax return to HMRC will have already incurred a £100 late-filing penalty.
"Non-filers have to file to avoid further penalties or contact us to ask to be taken out of self-assessment, and provided they meet the criteria, we will take them out of SA and cull any penalties incurred."
Taxpayers who allow the filing delay to extend beyond six months will then be handed a further £300 fine or 5 per cent of the tax due – whichever is higher.
HMRC is then entitled to give those who fail to file their 2011-12 self-assessment tax returns within 12 months a tax demand up to 100 per cent of the tax due instead.
If you are yet to file your self-assessment tax return and are looking for guidance please read our guide to HMRC's late filing penalties.
Don't delay, however; as the HMRC penalty regime results in higher penalties the longer you postpone filing your return.
Over half-a-million UK taxpayers will be hit with daily fines from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for failing to file their tax returns, according to new reports.

Never seen reference of a predator tracking prints in the snow, which seems a smarter/simpler/easier way to follow 'a meal passed here' Can smell the scent left in the snow, but seems that visually, print paths are not a clue to follow.

Living in the world's cutest neighborhood is wonderful, but it is not without its side effects. For instance, one might develop an overly idealistic, bordering on naive world outlook. I have seen this happen first hand. While walking to the subway, the following conversation occurred between a teenaged boy and his father:
Father: You're going to blow all of your savings to take her to Spain?? And for what? You've known her for three months! You don't even have a pot to shit in!
Boy: For what? For what? FOR LOVE!!!
Even now, as I'm writing this and trying to mock him, I find myself thinking that these crazy kids just might make it work… Even if they are going to be starting their relationship off homeless, in a foreign country, and unable to legally smoke cigarettes.
And this isn't the only issue. Living where we live, we are constantly faced with adorable children. Wearing adorable clothes. And RAIN BOOTS! And vests! And sometimes they have tiny little pairs of glasses on their faces!
I know. This sounds magical and happy and not at all like a negative. I see where you're coming from. I too was under that impression at first.
See, being a dog lover, I am irreversibly programmed to RUN not walk, to greet the nearest cute thing. It's no different for babies. I see one, and there is a visceral reaction in me and before I know it I'm letting the kid sniff my hand and then patting it on the head. I can't help it.
In a more innocent time, my run-ins with babies were few and far between. This allowed me to smile, make faces, high-five the baby and then move on with my life. Now, because of the sheer abundance of close encounters of the baby kind, I can't shake them! I'm ALWAYS thinking about babies.
Allow me to explain. I'm not baby crazy, per se. This isn't the start of the next pregnancy pact or anything. It's just that when you are constantly looking at these hip families with their sweet children with names like Charlie (AWWWW), it can really fuck with you.
It's gotten bad enough that Sarah and I will see a particularly cute kid, and immediately start hatching plans to steal them and raise them as our own. Not forever, of course, just until they start being a handful and we're ready to return them to their biological parents. It's even worse when we see a kid who has already learned crucial social cues. I nearly had to restrain Sarah when we saw a child dutifully reach up and grab his father's hand before stepping onto the street, without any prompting. "THAT WILL SAVE ME SO MUCH TIME!!!" she exclaimed.
Of course, we're not unreasonable. We'll employ the campfire rule with all stolen children: return them better than we found them. We figure it shouldn't be too difficult… Sarah can coach them into a diverse vocabulary that will be sure to impress their teachers, and I will teach them to sing and dance. Or put makeup on without a mirror. Or something.
Naturally, this is only until Sarah and I branch out from our frightfully co-dependent relationship and enter into adult relationships that could, potentially, maybe about a million years down the road, lead to actual babies that we will keep even when they stop being adorable and start being real people.
And should the lucky gents who will make up the other half of said adult relationships be so blessed as to take our hands in marriage, I hope they are ready to recreate this video. Frame by frame.
NOTE: You are going to want to turn off the following video after about 12 seconds. At :25, you're REALLY going to want to turn it off. I implore you to fight your instincts and see it through. You will not regret it. Trust.
