Anderson: The summer Sabbath experiment begins now (column)
Walking Our Faith
I stood on the dusty path and stared across the valley at peaks that seemed at my eye level. How had I not come to this spot before? It was literally 10 minutes from my home. A mere 2-mile loop hike on a well-defined path from a parking lot with free parking. A no-cost, low-key hike, for priceless views and peace of mind for which I would have gladly paid dearly.
Why hadn't I done this before? Oh, I'd thought about it since last March when my snowshoeing group hiked this trail, but I had to stop prematurely because Henry, my 10-year-old Newfie, couldn't walk any further. The small glimpse I had of the majestic mountains on that morning made me promise that I would return. Why had it taken three months when I live just down the road?
The answer is simple. I'd been too busy. I have two part-time jobs, two volunteer obligations, and weekly writing assignments. I've found myself rushing from one thing to another, feeling harried, not happy.
I knew I had to make some changes in my life if this balancing act was going to work. It wasn't a matter of cutting something out, I love everything I do, each is an expression of a different part of myself. But as I rushed from one thing to another, I felt that nothing was getting the time and consideration it deserved, I wasn't getting the rest I needed, and I was getting cranky.
Cutting corners to get from one thing to another crept into my spiritual life as well. Instead of sitting down and enjoying 15 or 30 minutes of prayer in the morning, I'd put on a recording of the sung Divine Mercy Chaplet and sing along as I rushed to get the dogs fed and myself dressed. While I'm sure God was happy I was doing something, I missed the quiet contemplation that used to start my day.
At bedtime, instead of ending my day with a reading from the Evening Prayers, more often than not I left the booklet on my nightstand and replaced it with a final scroll through Facebook before I drifted off to sleep.
But worst of all, on Sunday mornings, when I was supposed to be at Mass, more than once, I stayed in bed and slept because I had been teaching online until 10 p.m. the night before.
That was the breaking point. When the things you love most become impossible because you are living to work instead of working to live, something needs to change. It's easy to lose sight of what matters when we're trying to make ends meet.
First, I prioritized the things that were most important, then made changes that were small but significant. This faith column would now be finished on Wednesday evening, leaving me two days to revise before I turned it in, instead of rushing to finish it at the last minute.
I would go to bed earlier, put my iPad and iPhone away and actually read a book until I fell asleep. I would follow Pope Francis' admonition to read the Gospel for at least two minutes each day. And pray, not while running out the door, but while seated and giving my mind a moment to quiet. If I needed to sleep in on Sunday morning because I'd worked late, then I would go to Mass on Saturday evening.
I'm happy to report that these changes are working. I have the same commitments, but by defining my deadlines with plenty of room to spare, I'm more productive, yet relaxed, and much happier. Which got me thinking about Sabbath.
Sabbath is one of those divine mysteries which look positively simple on the surface, but upon reflection contain layers of meaning, which I'm not sure how to apply to modern life. And by 'modern life' I mean since the beginning of time, because we have a habit of thinking our lives are so much more complex than they were in the "good old days."
Sabbath started like this: Thus, the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2:1-3)
What a curiosity. The day of rest he calls holy, not his magnificent creation? Or does he call this day holy so that we will stop and reflect on the holiness of what he has created?
Later, God gives Moses the Ten Commandments, laws to guide us in the most basic terms. Do not kill. Do not steal. These make sense. Honor God. Yes, of course. But then we read this:
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Exodus 20:8-11)
One of the first books I've begun reading is a classic on the Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel. When I emailed Rabbi Ruth Gelfarb of Synagogue of the Summit, she pointed me to this quote by Heschel:
"To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern."
Abraham Joshua Heschel, The Sabbath
In the gospel of Mark, we encounter a scene where the order to rest and restore become a rule by which we measure our loyalty to God, but not in a good way:
Then Jesus said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."
Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. (Mark 2:27-3:6)
Last Sunday, I celebrated my first Sabbath. I took a hike. My TV remained off until after sundown. I read a book and took a nap.
What does it mean to observe the Sabbath? Why is it important for us today? Is this holy Sabbath day an invitation from God to a deeper relationship that can only be discovered when we put aside our constant movement to rest in God's embrace? I've gathered a list of books I'll read this summer and I plan to observe Sabbath from last Sunday, Memorial Day Weekend, until Labor Day weekend in September. I want to immerse myself in the Sabbath experience.
When I took my hike on Sunday, I shared the trail with people of all ages, enjoying the views, sharing conversation. The only time I saw a phone it was being used to take pictures. As summer progress, I will share my Sabbath experiences with you. There are many good reasons for a day of rest, where instead of engaging in getting more, we enjoy what we have with those we love. But any self-help book on time management would tell us that. The more meaningful question to me is whether observing Sabbath will bring me closer to God?

DENVER — All of the work the Sharks have put in over the last month to establish some semblance of an identity was nowhere to be found Thursday night in a blowout loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
The Sharks fell behind early and never recovered, allowing two goals in the first period and two more in the second in what became a 4-0 loss to the Avalanche at Pepsi Center.
Goalie Martin Jones stopped 27 of 31 shots in the first 40 minutes and didn't get any offensive support, as the Sharks were shut out for the second time this season in what was their second game of a three-game road trip. The Sharks finish the trip Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks.
As important as it is for the Sharks to string together a few wins to have any hope of rejoining the playoff picture in the Western Conference, they first need to play to a certain identity.
Being physical, playing with a defense-first mindset, being smart with the puck, outworking their opposition.
It was all in short supply against the Avalanche, as the Sharks, coming off a 6-3 loss to Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday, lost consecutive games in regulation time for the first time since Dec. 21-22 when they were beaten by the Vegas Golden Knights and St. Louis Blues at SAP Center.
Since then, the Sharks had gone 5-3-2 in games before Thursday, allowing two goals or fewer six times. They allowed just one goal in wins over Columbus and Dallas last week, initially surviving the loss of captain and top center Logan Couture to a fractured ankle.
"My concentration is getting this team playing with an identity, playing the right way, playing with structure to give us a chance every night," Sharks interim coach Bob Boughner said Wednesday. "We got away from that (Tuesday) night, and it's a good lesson. Once you get away from it, you start cutting corners and that's what happens.
"My job is to trying to get this team playing the right way every night. If that happens, we're going to deal with injuries like (Couture), I think the rest will take care of itself."
Jones was making his first start since Jan. 5, when he stopped 24 of 29 shots in what became a 5-4 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals.
Thursday, Jones allowed a goal on the first shot he faced. Valeri Nichushkin skated into the Sharks' zone and around Brent Burns before he beat Jones from in close for his eighth goal of the season just 45 seconds into the first period.
Colorado's second goal came with three seconds left before the first intermission, as Cale Makar beat a screened Jones with a wrist shot from inside the blue line.
Jones otherwise played a decent first period, making 11 saves including ones on a Mikko Rantanen breakaway and another in Pierre-Edouard Bellemare on an Avalanche 2 on 1.
Ryan Graves scored at even strength at the 9:59 mark of the second period and Matt Calvert scored shorthanded with 7:18 left in the second for a 4-0 Avalanche lead.
The Sharks started 11 forwards and seven defensemen for the first time in over seven weeks, as Tim Heed dressed as the seventh defenseman and Antti Suomela was a scratch.
The game marked the first time the Sharks and Avalanche had played each other since Game 7 of their second round playoff series at SAP Center. The Sharks won the game 3-2 to advance to the Western Conference Final for the second time in four years under former coach Pete DeBoer.
Most of the players who were in that series remain with their respective teams, including Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, who entered Thursday with five goals and seven assists in the last seven games.
MacKinnon had 68 points coming into the game with the Sharks, third-most in the NHL behind Connor McDavid (74) and Leon Draisaitl (73) of the Edmonton Oilers.
MacKinnon and his linemates, though, were shut out for the first two periods as they were largely matched up against Sharks defensemen Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Erik Karlsson.

After securing $10M in Series A funding, rapidly growing alternative lodging service WhyHotel needed to take a critical next step in its expansion: hiring its first Chief Marketing Officer. Founded and managed by a team of world-class real estate operators, CEO Jason Fudin explains why finding a CMO was their first big hiring initiative that felt outside their comfort zone.
"We've used recruiters for more junior roles, but not for bringing in C-suite talent. We knew our first Chief Marketing Officer would not come directly from the world of Real Estate. We wanted to bring on a digital CMO to help scale our business and it was really important that we got the right person, so we needed help."
Turning to Terrain Advisors for help, Jason and his team were immediately put at ease by being able to watch the recruiting effort as it set into motion.
"Terrain Advisors ran a tight process. They were really transparent, which is sometimes a problem with other recruiters. But by using their software, we were able to see exactly who was in the queue and how they were faring. And they came to us with a really high-quality group of candidates."
Along the way, Jason and his team at WhyHotel looked to Terrain Advisors for ongoing analysis and context. "They provided an honest assessment of each candidate during their screening process, which was very helpful to us. And then, when we found someone and prepared to make an offer, Terrain Advisors provided additional advice to close our Finalist. We loved working with Terrain," Jason said.
On the heels of their hiring decision, WhyHotels has already received widespread news coverage of product initiatives and a planned expansion. It looks like their Chief Marketing Officer is already hard at work.

This wonderful holiday truly combines the best of both worlds with a safari in the malaria-free Madikwe Private Game Reserve followed by a week's stay on the beautiful island of Mauritius with its white sandy beaches and warm tropical waters.
Madikwe is a lesser known and therefore quieter game reserve in northern South Africa on the border with Botswana with an abundance of game including the Big Five. It is also home to the endangered African Wild Dog who are very rare but who have been thriving in Madikwe thanks to strenuous conservation efforts. You stay at the Bush House Lodge which is a small and intimate safari lodge with its own waterhole and in a great location for game viewing.
You will then head off to the Indian Ocean for 7 nights in a wonderful beach resort for some true rest and relaxation. Mauritius boasts some world class beaches with soft white sand and crystal clear, warm seas. If you can tear yourself off the beach there are plenty of things to do including scuba diving, dolphin spotting, island excursions and lots of watersports as you might expect.
The Real World Conservation Trust (formerly Real Africa Trust) works with leading conservation organisations to raise awareness as well as raising funds for specific projects. Partners include Save the Elephants, Save the Rhino, The Sheldrick Trust, Rhino Conservation Botswana, Animals saving Animals, Flora and Fauna International and African Parks. You can find out more on our Conservation pages and specifically our current campaigns on our Explorers Against Extinction website (http://www.explorersagainstextinction.co.uk/). On behalf of every client travelling, Real Africa makes a donation to the Trust. Our aim is to raise awareness about the plight of endangered species and to promote sustainable, socially responsible travel which benefits the wildlife and communities you choose to visit.Plan My Journey Speak To Us

It's an odd one this. I love the concept of doing a little mini serial set just in the TARDIS, especially at this stage in the show's history, but every time I watch it, it always winds up confusing me. I always remember the 'fast return button stuck down' thing – largely because of how incongruous the felt-tip addition looks on the console – but I always somehow forget about the reveal that all the weird things are happening because the TARDIS is deliberately fucking shit up in order to draw attention to the fault.
Again, the TARDIS being a sentient being is a concept I adore, and the new series have taken that concept and run with it, but somehow it never quite seems convincing that it can do all of these things to the crew.
But still, the primary purpose is to start the transformation of Ian and Barbara's status from hostages to companions, and it does that incredibly well. They're definitely a team now, ready to crack on with some proper adventures.

Back in September, the reports of Google Chrome dark mode at first seemed online after Google was spotted chipping away at a dark theme explicitly for MacOS Mojave.
Presently affirmation is coming in that Google Chrome for Windows 10 won't be let alone for the fun, and, truth be told, you can attempt an early version of dark mode today.
Google developers made a command flag through which different developer gets an early involved of the element and give a couple of proposals on it.
The main catch is that it just deals with Google Chrome Canary version. With no further ado, here is a well ordered guidance to constrain Google Chrome dark theme.
Steps To Enable Google Chrome Dark Mode
- Download and install Google Chrome Canary.
- Make sure the shortcut of the Canary version is pinned to the desktop.
- Right-click the shortcut and tap on 'Properties'.
- In Target field, add -force-dark-mode after the Chrome Canary location.
- Click Apply and OK to save changes.
When you utilize the easy route to open Chrome Canary it will presently be in a pseudo-Dark Mode as appeared as follows.
The address bar underneath looks great thus do the tabs and navigation area.Tragically, the menus still need a great deal of work as should be obvious from the dark text on a dark background.
This is not the slightest bit lost as the Google Chrome Dark Mode hasn't touched base on Chrome stable or beta yet.
Anticipate that a ton of things should change and a few plan changes to be actualized before the last launch, yet it gives us an early investigate this long past due feature.

Release Date: Sep 28, 2004
Record label: Chemikal Underground
Genre(s): Indie, Rock
The fifth album by Glaswegians the Delgados is an odd beast, billed both as a "positive" record, and unapologetically pop - neither of which it really is. It's perhaps lighter than predecessor Hate, an impressive if not always entirely successful record, that seethes with epic discontent, but these sophisticated, evocative songs certainly aren't pop music, however forceful their choruses. What Universal Audio represents most certainly is the sound of four people playing together in a band, without the lavish orchestrations and over-production that occasionally overpowered the songs on Hate.
The Delgados refer to Universal Audio as their "long-awaited 'pop' album," and while the description is apt, it's their penchant for atmospheric, industrial town melancholia that ultimately wins out. In stark contrast to 2002's bombastic Dave Fridmann-produced Hate, Audio's sleek opener, "I Fought the Angels," begins with just a guitar and Emma Pollock's winsome vocals before launching into a tight Bossanova-era Pixies groove. Alun Woodward, always the reluctant optimist, follows with "Is That All I Came For?," a tale filled with doubt wrapped in a golden Beach Boys wonton -- a trick he honed to perfection on Hate's sunny and sarcastic title track -- but it's Pollock's instantly catchy and retro (as in 1992) "Everybody Come Down" that embodies the group's metamorphosis from brooding orchestral pop experimentalists into hook-driven purveyors of sunny road-trip modern rock.

IA and UI
Working with the business psychologists and business analysts at ETS we established functionality and IA, with the client Logicalis. I was asked to create a number of UI examples, of how the system would essentially look, on brand, for the client. The wireframing and prototyping were not in budget as the system was essentially based on a previous project, so it was a case of re-branding, and applying a Lean UX process, making sure that the system was efficient and prioritised key data.
User journey & icons
I wanted to show the user journey, broken down into stages, and having the iconography from Logicalis brand management team, I was able to use elements to highlight which area you were currently populating or reviewing. Each icon represents a competency in the performance process.
It was important to the client that the user was able to always move away from the process without ever losing any input. This required us to add multiple options for saving and reviewing progress. We established that the system should be broken into stages, and that each stage had multiple areas, drop downs and comment boxes, to meet the needs and requirements of the user.
As a client of ETS we had an opportunity to work with Logicalis on developing a bespoke HR system for their Performance Management programme. I worked closely with the client, an ETS Business Psychologist and ETS Developer to establish what they were hoping to achieve and to work out the system requirements, the user experience, and the functionality and user flow. The screens below are to show the varied states or content styling that would be applied to the full system on build.

The project only made it to concept proposal stage

too many rims, not enough customers, and too many varieties in inventory that don't sell.
Overhead, lack of day two upgrades, and ridiculous competition...
Say it anyway you like, in any perspective, and it won't matter.
Center Line, one of the coolest looking rims in the 80s, is out of business.
Jegs confirms it, "Unfortunately for all of us automotive and truck enthusiasts Center Line Wheels recently has ceased operation and is currently no longer in business.

United States GP 2015
Practice 3 Report - Splashing
Lewis Hamilton splashed his way to the top of the time sheets in his Mercedes in a soggy Free Practice 3 on Saturday. Sebastian Vettel ended up second in his Ferrari while Valtteri Bottas took third in his Williams.
The line-up for the weekend was: Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Red Bull Renault - Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat. Williams Mercedes - Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Ferrari - Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen. McLaren Honda - Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. Force India Mercedes - Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez. Toro Rosso Renault - Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. Lotus Mercedes - Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado. Marussia Ferrari - Will Stevens and Alexander Rossi. Sauber - Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr.
FP2 on Friday afternoon had been washed out by rain and clouds.
"It's a shame for the spectators out there," Rosberg said. They pay a lot of money to be here and didn't see a single car driving in the afternoon. So let's see what tomorrow brings."
More heavy rain fell overnight, but by the time FP3 on was due to begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday the rain had eased off. There were no fans, however, as the circuit bosses declared that the gates would not be opened until noon. And the stewards said the drivers must use Pirelli's extreme wet tires.
The ambient temperature at the start of the session was 66 degrees Fahrenheit (19 degrees Centigrade) and the track temperature was 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Centigrade). There was a 100 percent chance of rain.
First out was Ricciardo followed by Ericsson, Maldonado and Grosjean.
5 minutes into the session, Ricciardo clocked a 2:12.758, but Kvyat soon beat that with a 2:04.234.
7 minutes into the session, Rosberg knocked the front wing off the Mercedes when he spun at Turn 7. Hamilton was now in front with a 2:02.561, but Vettel topped that with a 2:01.441.
10 minutes into the session, Vettel set a 2:00.380. A couple laps later he radioed that the rain was getting heavier. Meanwhile, Verstappen went off at Turns 17 and 12.
15 minutes into the session the order was: Vettel, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Bottas, Hamilton and Alonso.
19 minutes into the session, Maldonado spun at Turn 17.
22 minutes into the session, Rosberg took over fifth place. Then Hulkenberg grabbed second. Then Bottas took the third spot.
28 minutes into the session, 15 of the 20 drivers were in action.
31 minutes into the session, Hamilton topped the times with a 1:59.517. The top six were now Hamilton, Vettel, Hulkenberg, Bottas, Sainz and Kvyat. Vettel then spun and continued at Turn 19 and then Turn 9.
With 22 minutes remaining in the session, the conditions were now quite bad, and only Hulkenberg and Rosberg were out on the track.
With 18 minutes remaining in the session, the top 10 were: Hamilton, Vettel, Hulkenberg, Bottas, Sainz, Kvyat, Raikkonen, Ricciardo, Rosberg and Massa.
Hulkenberg now headed for the pits and so there were no drivers on the circuit until Kvyat and several others went out to try some practice starts.
As the rain increased the session wound down with the top 10 unchanged.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- It was a rough start to the year for many in the Southeast as violent storms ripped through portions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. As residents begin the recovery process, the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) says the first step is to contact your insurer and start the claims process.
"Our thoughts are with those who have been impacted by this recent round of violent weather," said Logan McFaddin PCI's regional manager of state government relations. "Homeowners should contact their insurance company or agent through their toll free phone number, app or website. Insurers plan for catastrophes and are prepared to assist homeowners immediately. Company adjustors are now in the field helping homeowners and renters begin rebuilding."
Most severe weather related events like hail and tornados are covered under either a homeowners, renters or commercial insurance policy. Renters insurance covers a policyholder's personal possessions damaged by tornados. Windstorm and hail damage for cars is covered by the comprehensive coverage in an auto insurance policy.
This storm highlights the importance of always being prepared and ensuring residents have the proper coverage for their homes and businesses. The increase in storm activity in past few days also puts a spotlight on the need to curb abuses from unscrupulous individuals and companies that capitalize on consumers during a time of need.
"It's important to contact your company first before signing any documents, you could be filing a lawsuit, and rather than getting the damage repaired you could be entering into unnecessary litigation," added McFaddin.
PCI's Tornado Recovery Tips:
• Secure property from further damage or theft.
• Contact your insurance agent or company representative as soon as possible to report damage.
• Inventory losses and photograph damage to provide to your insurance adjustor. Save receipts.
• If you are a business owner, keep detailed records of business activity that is negatively affected due to the tornado or storm and keep a list of extra expenses during the interruption. Prepare records to show the income from the business before and after the loss.
• Many standard homeowners' and renters' policies provide reimbursement of additional living expenses when the property is determined to be uninhabitable due to damage. This provision helps with paying for increases to necessary living expenses such as temporary housing and restaurant meals. In addition, extra expenses such as overnight parking and laundry services may also be covered. Additional living expense coverage does not pay for all living expenses, so contact your insurance company or agent for a list of what your policy will cover.
• Be careful about unscrupulous contractors following a natural disaster. Contact your insurer, agent or local business bureau for references on potential contractors and ask for certificates of liability and workers compensation before signing contracts.
PCI's Tornado Headquarters offers vital information for those impacted by tornadoes, as well as preparedness tips for those living in tornado-prone areas. Follow us on twitter @PCIAA and use #tornadosafety as we continue to provide tips on what to do before and after a tornado.

When is the last time you tested your compliance processes and technology?
When was the last time you reviewed your compliance processes and procedures?
Is your global trade management solution configured to reflect current processes and procedures?
Many companies struggle to understand when or how to realize savings from Free Trade Agreement (FTA) programs. Other companies that have implemented FTA programs, fail to realize the effort required to manage a FTA Program with country of origin product requirements and recordkeeping. As a result, they do not realize the full benefit of FTA program savings or even worse, can be subjected to future fines or penalties. That is why Vigilant developed…
Compliance Program Optimization Solution
We combine leading compliance solutions and industry specific expertise with knowledge from supporting clients in optimizing your trade compliance processes. We begin by assessing the current state of your compliance program from process and technology perspectives. Next, we balance companywide viewpoints which are impacted by compliance with bottom line results. We work with you to define your desired state and implement your specific roadmap to deliver full compliance optimization.
Compliance Optimization Methodology
Compliance Baseline
We begin by learning your compliance, business and industry requirements, as well as, your goals and objectives. Equally important, we identify your risk tolerance, in-house expertise and companywide viewpoint of compliance to establish your baseline.
Health Assessment
We assess the current state of your global compliance program from a process and technology perspective. We audit and test your program to identify gaps, risks, challenges and opportunities for operational improvements.
Based upon our findings in your health assessment, we collaborate with you to develop an improvement plan for missing and incomplete processes.

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a popular plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and soft tissue of the abdomen in addition to tightening the abdominal muscles. Patients generally consider a tummy tuck after history of pregnancies or significant weight loss. In these cases, skin has lost elasticity and may not fully retract. Redundant skin and soft tissue as well as stretch marks are often of aesthetic concern, which may motivate patients to undergo this body contouring procedure. To achieve such powerful results in improving abdominal contour, what is anticipated tummy tuck downtime?
- Tummy tuck downtime – pain medication requirements
Patients generally require prescription pain medication for a few days following tummy tuck. It is recommended to taper and then discontinue the medication as soon as possible to lower risk of side effects. Wearing the abdominal binder may also reduce discomfort by providing support to the muscle repair site during early healing. Pain medication requirements may be further reduced by applying cold compresses over the first 48 hours post-operatively. Another helpful technique to reduce tummy tuck downtime is to gently flex one's waist when standing and ambulating over the first few days to reduce tension at the incisions and muscle repair site.
- Tummy tuck downtime – return to work
Patients may generally return to office-based work within a week. If job requirements are more strenuous, it is important to discuss in detail with your plastic surgeon pre-operatively to ensure adequate recovery time. The abdominal binder or remaining drain(s) may generally be concealed under clothing to reduce tummy tuck downtime. Patients may resume driving once mobilizing appropriately and no longer taking prescription pain medication.
- Tummy tuck downtime – abdominal drains and binder
The abdominal binder should be worn for 6 weeks after tummy tuck to provide support to the muscle repair as well as to reduce swelling and risk of bleeding. The drains will be removed once drainage has tapered to an appropriate level. They are typically removed within 7-10 days based on output and generally have no effect on tummy tuck downtime.
- Tummy tuck downtime – return to exercise
It is important for patients to walk short distances during early healing to lower risk of systemic complications, blood clots in particular. All forms of exercise however, should be avoided over the first month after tummy tuck to lower risk of bleeding and prolonged swelling. Patients should refrain from abdominal core work outs until 6 weeks post-operatively to allow adequate healing time for the muscle repair site (also referred to as the rectus plication). During pregnancy or weight fluctuations, the abdominal wall muscles commonly develop a separation or gapping in the midline. This muscle separation is repaired during a tummy tuck to improve core strength and to flatten abdominal contour. Patients may resume light cardio and weights at approximately one month post-operatively based on clinical assessment, proceeding to activity as tolerated by 6 weeks.
Please contact us if considering a tummy tuck in the Toronto area to schedule a consultation with female plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephanie Power.

We sing and read about the word honor. Honor is translated in the Biblical Greek as value or esteem or to prize. How do we value or esteem or prize our relationship with God?
We set things apart that we honor
I honor or esteem my wedding vow visually by wearing a ring on my finger. I may honor a gift and the giver by displaying it on my coffee table. Or I may honor my US citizenship through placing my passport in a lock box so it's not stolen. One way I honor God is by setting Sunday apart to worship Him. It's a statement of my love to Him. I honor Him by setting a part of my day aside to read His Word
We honor through words
We write eulogies to honor the dead. We write thank you notes to honor the giver of a gift. We honor God through spoken words and praise. We honor God by singing to Him both at home and with believers. We can honor Him by writing prayers in a journal. When we honor God, we don't take Him for granted. Not one day do we fail to tell Him how much He means to us.
We honor through our finances
Your finances are the fruit of which you spend most of your time working. We also honor God with our "substance and the first fruit of all our increase" (that's our finances). What you esteem you spend money on. Believers who fail to financially support their local church are not honoring God because for His church He gave His life. When we spend our finances first of all on our own needs, we don't honor God and His business on this earth. I have learned when I invest in God's business first through tithing to my church, God makes my business prosper and succeed as well.
What are other ways you honor God?

It's Behind You…
Posted December 5, 2008on:
Life is mixed genre. It doesn't come with a neat label such as 'Thriller' or 'comedy.' That's why I enjoy the writing of Dean Koontz. That's why I write like I do… and that's my excuse for allowing my blog to take a completely new direction fom time to time.
I'm spending a lot of time finding different ways to promote my book at the moment, which is a complete departure from what I usually do at this time of the year. I normally spend December dressing up as a lady… so there you have it, the confession.
It's been interesting to see the number of hits recently on a post I did entitled 'Coming out.' I'm pretty sure that these are actually from people who know me. (They'll be disappointed when they see what it's really about.)
But yes, I have from time to time dressed as a lady… or a pirate captain, or a giant fly, amongst other things.
For the last nine years, I have appeared in the local panto, usually as the baddie. There's nothing like the response you get from a pantomime audience, and the buzz you get from the laughs and boos is unbeatable.
But allow me to let the pictures do some of the talking:
January 2000. Sleeping Beauty. My first panto. Because of the year it wasn't a witch but the MILLENNIUM BUG. My left hand is actually holding onto a crutch, as I had dislocated my knee cap at a work's party the week before we opened. It was painful, but very good for publicity.
December 2001- Arabian Nights- Onion Bajhi
Toady to the emperor Saladin. I had the fewest lines ever in this one… to start with. The beauty of Panto is that you can expand and play with it. One night I looked up just in time to see the lighting guy throwing his script away in disgust.
December 2002- Snow White and the Seven Dwarves- Herman the Huntsman, another small part- well I could hardly be a dwarf, could I?
December 2003- Cinderella- Ugly Sister, Kylie Hardup
The double chin is a clever use of prosthetics… (Oh no it isn't!)
WARNING: I'm about to blow my own trumpet… One of the highlights of my theatrical career. Professional comedian Johnny Casson came to see this, and afterwards phoned the writer, Hilary O'Neill, from the bar, and compared my performance to Music Hall legend, Norman Evans. My head was even bigger than it looks in the photo above.
December 2004- Aladdin- Abanazzer
This part is panto baddie heaven.
Record Breaking Performance: Thirty seconds between me walking on and first child being carried out of theatre.
December 2005 Babes in the Wood- Sherrif of Nottingham
For this one I was given the NODA award for 'Best mortal in a Panto.'
December 2006- Jack and the Beanstalk- Poison Ivan
Due to my success as dame in Cinderella I was originally offered the chance to play the part of 'Poison Ivy'- a panto villain in drag. But the director thought better of it, so I introduced the line:
'My name is Poison Ivan
Don't laugh, it's not a joke,
It should have been Poison Ivy…
But they had to use a bloke…'
My ninth and last panto. By this time the muse had left me. I had also been taking part in confidence coaching and foster-care training. Both of these helped me to look at my life: what was useful to me, what was not; which social networks were supportive and nurturing. So I said goodbye to panto and acting (Oh yes I did. )
It was fun while it lasted, but for now… it's behind me.

Recognizing the pervasiveness of cyberbullying, online hate speech, and trolling, BG4Unity aims to persuade people to use social media more responsibly to promote community-building and reduce prejudice. Since the spring semester of 2015, students enrolled in Dr. Lisa Hanasono's section of COMM 3030: Persuasion have researched, developed, launched, assessed, and maintained BG4Unity on Facebook and Twitter.
By completing their BG4Unity service-learning projects, students utilized their persuasive communication skills to encourage people from BGSU and the Bowling Green community to take a stand against discrimination and offer support to victims of cyberbullying and hate. During the 2015-2016 academic year, students recruited people from our community to create BG4Unity snapshots that challenged everyday stereotypes. Partnering with BGSU's Student Technology Assistance Center, they also worked in teams to create persuasive BG4Unity videos.
Since February 16, 2015, COMM 3030 students have persuaded over 560 people to create BG4Unity snapshots, and they have cultivated a social network of hundreds of people on Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, they have partnered with local organizations to spread the word about BG4Unity and encourage people to use social media in constructive and community-oriented ways. Here are some highlights of BG4Unity's activities:
- Students organized and engaged in BG4Unity's "Shattering Stereotypes" outreach events at the Bowen-Thompson Student Union.
- BG4Unity students participated in the Center for Community and Civic Engagement's (CCCE) Inaugural Showcase and Awards Reception.
- A team of BG4Unity students partnered with the CCCE to document and publicize the 2016 Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Day of Service.
- Drew Ashby-King highlighted BG4Unity in a poster session at the inaugural Undergraduate Diversity Symposium at BGSU.
- BG4Unity team members facilitated social media activism workshops on campus and in the Northwest Ohio area.
- BG4Unity partnered with the Ohio Department of Aging's social media initiative and Dr. Magsamen-Conrad's ICI2K16's program.
- BG4Unity collaborated with BGSU students enrolled in SOC 2610 and their instructors to create a collection of snapshots that shattered stereotypes.
- BG4Unity partnered with the Graduate Student Senate and Office of Multicultural Affairs at a "Challenging Stereotypes" event in 2015.
- BG4Unity staffed outreach tables at the 2015 Black Issues Conference and the 2015 Not In Our Town Interfaith Community Breakfast.
- A representative from BG4Unity led a workshop on social media activism at BGSU's inaugural Multicultural Conference in 2016.

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the outermost layer of the eye and is also known as pink eye. The white region of the eye is lined by a transparent, mucous membrane called the conjunctiva. It is inflammation of this conjunctiva, marked by redness and itching that is seen in conjunctivitis. Overall conjunctivitis is a common eye problem that typically occurs due to a viral infection, which is highly contagious. However, there are other infectious and non-infectious causes of conjunctivitis.
As the name suggests, a pink color or redness of the eye is the most pronounced sign of conjunctivitis. It is usually accompanied by swelling, itching of the eyes and a mucus discharge. Other symptoms may vary depending on whether the causal factors are viral or bacterial infection or due to an allergy.
Other symptoms of viral conjunctivitis include:
- Sore throat and difficult breathing
- Burning sensation in the eye and eyelids
- Swollen areas in front of the ears
- Clear and slightly thick, white-colored drainage
Signs of bacterial conjunctivitis include:
- Drainage of yellow colored fluid from the eye that causes the eyelashes to stick together
- Mild to intense pain
- Swelling of the upper eyelid that makes the lid heavy and drooping
Initially the sign appears in one eye that eventually spreads to the other eye. Depending on the causative factors, conjunctivitis may resolve on its own within a week or two.
Conjunctivitis may be due to various causes. Infections are the main cause of conjunctivitis. Viral infections are more common and often leads to outbreaks especially among children in school and day care centers. Bacterial infections are less common but often more severe. Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious. The infection can spread through direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of the infected person.
Conjunctivitis may also appear as a heightened immune response towards allergens like pollens. Contrary to those caused by infections, allergic conjunctivitis usually appears in both the eyes at the same time. The cells present under the lining of the eye produces histamine, a chemical that produces local inflammation and swelling. Characteristically, allergic conjunctivitis accompanies repeated sneezing with watery discharge from the eye and a runny nose.
Irritation of the mucosal membrane of the eyes by certain chemicals may also lead to conjunctivitis. These chemicals may be in the liquid, solid or gas form and occurs when it comes into direct contact with the eye. In such cases, the redness of eyes tends to reduce upon splashing water and cleaning the affected eyes.
People wearing contact lenses are more likely to harbor eye infections that may progress into conjunctivitis. Contact lenses that are not fitting appropriately or are torn can also injure the conjunctiva.
Viral conjunctivitis often resolves on its own and does not require any specific treatment. Some forms, like recurrent viral conjunctivitis caused by the herpes simplex virus may require antiviral medication. Antibiotic eye drops and ointments are prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis. Antihistamines offer relief in case of allergic conjunctivitis. Avoiding the allergy-causing substances help prevent the allergy-related redness of eyes. Corticosteroid drops may be needed to reduce severe inflammation and pain in all types of conjunctivitis.

sustaining passion through presence
Those of us who dedicate our time to conservation, or any other mission-based field, depend largely on our passion for the cause to fuel and motivate our work. Yet as a crisis-driven cause – born out of the loss of biodiversity and a desperate effort to protect our planet's ecosystems – conservation can drain one's energy and quickly lead to hopelessness and burn-out.
Mindfulness is my solution. Through focusing the mind beyond the narrow scope of habitual thinking – which includes judgement and emotional response – we awaken to the present moment. In focusing on Presence, we maintain a mindful recognition of what is happening here and now and in the rich, eternal experience that is our planet and the eternal reality in which it exists.
Mindfulness is my solution.
One of the quickest ways we can access Presence is using our body's senses, through connecting to the environment – the sounds, tastes, smells, feelings and sights – immediately around and beyond our beyond. Yoga – the control of body posture, breath and mind – helps me re-initiate mindfulness. One of my most fulfilling places to practice yoga is outside in nature, when my senses are shocked into Presence by stimulation from the species and elements around me.
Maintaining mindfulness and Presence in as many moments as possible during our daily life rejuvenates our energy and perspective, renewing optimism and hope that we can conserve our planet's biodiversity and ecosystems. We can sustain our passion through Presence.
Practicing passion with presence
As a yoga nidra teacher in training, I am in the process of developing teaching materials to share this approach more broadly. My practice has developed under the guidance of my father, Dr. Richard Miller, and the iRest Institute. I am an iRest Level 1 teacher and highly recommend IRI's retreats and trainings.

By 2018 Adjara visitors will be able to enjoy new tourism route – Chirukhi-Khikhani-Goderdzi. Tourism Products Development Agency of Adjara Tourism Department has been working on the tourism route marking project.
According to the mentioned project, cycling, jeep and walking routes will be marked from Chirukhi mountain up to Goderdzi Pass through Khikhani.
The new route is being examined for 3 months. The main tourism path has been already selected. The work has been started for preparing primary maps of the route. The tourism products development agency plans to carry out a full marking, install signs and information desks, prepare route maps and family-hotel house by 2018.
"Chirukhi Mountain, Khikhani castle and Goderdzi Pass are unique tourism places in Ajara. Therefore, the new tourism path in the picturesque nature will ensure interesting and adventurous tours. The route will connect two municipalities and guests will not have to drive on Baumi-Akhaltsikhe central highway. It entirely passes the Alpine zone, from where picturesque views open, tourists will pass lakes, waterfalls, Khikhani Castle and fields. They will be able to to see highland Ajara, its nature and villages. This route connects other routes in Shuakhevi and Khulo and create interesting and diverse direction for long trip (3-5 days) in highland Ajara", Tinatin Zoidze, director of Ajara tourism products development agency, noted.

text: Google Photos gets markup functions for its image editor. Most amateur photographers (that means you, person with phone in hand taking photos and posting them online) make one colossal mistake with their photographs. They don't get close enough, and don't fill the frame with their subject matter. Sometimes, scenics and nature require broad views; but, if you are photographing people, animals, birds or other subjects, it is almost always better to get close. If you don't get close when you take the photograph, you can zoom in with the cropping tool of an image editor. There are a lot of these around; but, now, Google Photos, the best image collection cloud service, is providing editing tools in the app. You can crop and now make annotations on the fly. So, start cropping those photos, so I don't have to look at extraneous background anymore. Please.

Originally published in AdvocateDaily.com
Toronto intellectual property lawyer John Simpson says a dispute between a major airline and a disgruntled former passenger highlights the fundamental clash between free speech and IP rights.
A Federal Court judge recently ruled that the airline's trademarks and copyright were infringed by the former customer, whose online complaint site used a web address with a slight misspelling of the company's name.
"There is always a tension in these criticism cases between freedom of expression on the one hand, and IP rights on the other," Simpson, principal of IP and new media law boutique Shift Law, tells AdvocateDaily.com. "It's an important right for Canadians to be able to express themselves, but you get the distinct sense that the court feels the defendant has gone too far here in its trashing of the rightsholder's business."
The man used the site, which mimicked the look of the airline's, and adapted a copyrighted logo by adding a frowning face to the original, to collect and publish complaints about the company, as well as offering readers advice on their legal rights, the decision says.
The judge accepted that the site could be classed as a parody under the fair dealing exception contained in s. 29 of the Copyright Act, but concluded it failed at the second stage of the test to show its use of the copyrighted material was fair.
"The Defendant did not satisfy the Court that there was ever any intent for humour – rather, the Defendant's intent was to embarrass and punish [the airline]for its perceived wrongdoings. As discussed above, parody must include some element of humour or mockery – if extended too far, what may be designed in jest as parody may simply become defamatory," the judge wrote.
"Parody is not simply a defence to copyright infringement – it is also an aspect of free speech. However, like all free speech, it is not unrestricted…The questionable purpose of the dealing, amount of the dealing, and effect of the dealing all weigh in favour of the conclusion that this dealing is not fair," he added in his judgment.
Simpson says the case was unusual because it raised issues that come up more often in disputes between a rightsholder and a competitor, rather than a critic. However, he says the airline scored a resounding victory in court.
"It's not often you see a case where so many potential issues are explored," he says. "And for every single issue, the judge decides in the plaintiff's favour."
The defendant launched the site back in 1997 after the airline's unsatisfying response to one of his own complaints. Although he will be allowed to keep the domain name, the judge added that "this must not be in association with the same services as provided by the Plaintiff."
The judge also concluded that the airline was entitled to an injunction prohibiting the former customer from using the airline's trademarks and copyrighted works, but asked both parties for their submissions on its precise nature and scope.
"It'll be interesting to see how that plays out and how the site differentiates itself," Simpson says. "It will have to be an extensive injunction with very specific terms."

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings will head into NHL free agency with a lot of question marks.
Will GM Ken Holland make a move for a defenseman? Will the Red Wings spend any money at all? -- they won't have much to spend.
But before they consider any new signings, the team has a few key players who need contracts, namely Andreas Athanasiou, Tomas Tatar and Xavier Ouellet.
NHL free agency starts at noon Saturday.
Here's the full list of the Red Wings unrestricted and restricted free agents heading into this weekend:
Joe Vitale -- UFA
Vitale, 31, was part of the Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk contract trade with the Arizona Coyotes in 2016. The forward spent the entire following season on long-term injured reserve as he battled concussion symptoms. The Red Wings could cut him loose and likely will as his contract expires. What's ahead for Vitale is unclear. It appears his career may have been cut short by the all-too-common head injury.
Andreas Athanasiou -- RFA
Athanasiou, 22, is one of the most promising players on the Red Wings roster. His blazing speed and scoring ability likely have landed him a top-six spot on more than a few NHL teams. There are rumors of "Double A" being Red Wings trade bait for a defenseman, but it wouldn't be such a terrible idea to keep him around.
The Red Wings need scoring now (as in yesterday), and if they can figure out an agreeable deal with Athanasiou they should, well, figure it out. Being assured much more ice time could be the key. He scored 18 goals and 11 assists this past season with what seemed like little assured time on ice. Then again, Holland has to be careful not to overvalue a young forward -- such is the plight of a NHL general manager.
Drew Miller -- UFA
Miller, 33, has been with the Red Wings since 2009. This past season was the first time in that span that he was sent down to the team's AHL club in Grand Rapids. Though he brings experience and defensive-minded play -- and penalty killing skill -- to the team's bottom six forwards group, Miller hasn't offered much offensive upside in recent seasons.
As his one-year contract comes to an end, it seems his time in Detroit may be coming to an end, too. The Red Wings have several prospects who can fill the role.
Tomas Tatar -- RFA
Is this the end of Tatar's time in Detroit? Are the Red Wings going to trade him, let him walk or pay him? He led the team with 25 goals this past season. The 26-year-old winger had 21 goals the season before and 29 the season before that. Wingers who score like this usually get paid a few million dollars a year.
Tatar is going to get paid, but will it be the Red Wings signing his checks? Holland has a tough decision to make here. The worst case for the Red Wings would be losing Tatar for nothing in return. Keep in mind the Red Wings have to prepare for other forwards' contracts next season, such as Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha.
RELATED: What are the Red Wings doing with Tomas Tatar?
Xavier Ouellet -- RFA
As one of Detroit's top defensive prospects and with the team in need of defensemen, Ouellet likely will be wearing a Red Wings sweater for a while. He was exposed in the expansion draft, which might not mean anything other than you can't protect everyone.
At 23, Ouellet has huge upside with a value that's yet to be fully determined. He could have a spot in the Red Wings' top four as he brings enough offensive skill -- 3 goals and 9 assists this past season -- to be effective in a power play role at some point. He scored 29 points in 61 games played for the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins in 2015-16.
UPDATE: Ouellet signed a two-year contract with the Red Wings on July 3.
