Boast. n.s. [from the verb.]
- A cause of boasting; an occasion of pride; the thing boasted.
Not Tryo, nor Mycene, match her name,
Nor great Alcmena, the proud boasts of fame. Pope's Odyss.
- An expression of ostentation; a proud speech.
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonoureth thou not God? Rom. ii. 23.
The world is more apt to find fault than to commend; the boast will probably be censured, when the great action that occasioned it, is forgotten. Spectator, № 225.

Pakistan: Bad Moon Rising
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan is fond of using sporting clichés to explain complicated political dilemmas. "Bowling out the opposition" and forcing the "Umpire's finger" are both regulars from his public speaking playbook. But as problems mount for Pakistan's civilian leader, it's getting harder to explain away reality with handy cricket metaphors. Cricket, after all, cannot be played in the rain—and Khan's ship of state is about to run into some pretty bad weather.

Since A Different Dream for My Child was released, readers have been asking what motivated me to write it. To answer that question, I'm adhering to a lesson I learned as the parent of a special needs child: do not reinvent the wheel unless it is absolutely necessary. Between doctor's appointments and feeding tubes, surgeries and special diets, there just wasn't time.
Those days are long gone at my house, but somehow, I still don't have time to reinvent anything unless there's no other way. So today, instead of creating a brand new post about why I wrote Different Dream, I'm directing you to a recent interview at Maria Keckler's marvelous website WritingtoServe. Maria's insightful questions did a wonderful job of drawing out both the message of Different Dream and how it came to be written.
And here's an added bonus. If you go Maria's website and leave a comment, you'll be entered in a drawing to receive a free book. So head on out, enjoy the interview, and here's hoping you win a free book!

I know that the government regularly lies to the American people, and it seems that everything I have been reading recently is reinforcing that belief. The government also lies to itself, and anyone who tells the president that his policies are wrong or that a strategy is not working is likely to lose his/her job. King George and his cronies are dangerously mad with power.
Yesterday Doug Thompson wrote in Capitol Hill Blue that "sources who said they were current and retired intelligence pros from the CIA, NSA, FBI and the military" had contacted Capitol Hill Blue to angrily dispute the president's story. Bush is "full of shit," reads one of the quotes.
Apparently, the "intelligence" that the president had chosen to share with the American people had been garnered from a discredited informant. Not coincidentally, most of the "intelligence" that gave the government reason to invade
Intelligence pros say much of the information used by Bush in an attempt to justify his increased spying on Americans by the National Security Agency, trampling of civil rights under the USA Patriot Act, and massive buildup of the Department of Homeland Security, now the nation's largest federal bureaucracy, was "worthless intel that was discarded long ago."

This helping can be done in different ways. Some users just feed and play with the animals; others go as far as painting a pet. Like I said, some foster-users simply take the pets home for a few days to feed and play with them. Other users find sick pets and nurse them back to health. Some foster-users that I have spoken to even go as far as to paint the pets with their own neopoints.
I was so touched by these acts of kindness that I decided to foster a pet of my own. I went to the pound and adopted a lovely white Grundo who was dying from starvation and had neomonia. I fed her until she was full and healed her from the neomonia, and played with her until she was happy again. Then I went out on a search; I posted on the boards and checked with all my neofriends. She needed a good home. I finally found her a good owner and she is happily staying there with his brother.
I was absolutely amazed that people would spend their own neopoints on pets that they had no intention of keeping. I tried fostering and I must say, it was an amazing experience. I definitely think that every user in Neopia should try to foster at least one pet while they are an active user.
The pet that I fostered, 5cxtt57, has been doing wonderfully since she is out of the pound. Her new owner has neomailed me and told me that she is always happy and loves to play games and just relax with her brother. I am so glad that I tried fostering; it really was the rewarding experience that everyone told me it would be.
I am currently fostering another pet right now a blue Bruce named 2smart4youalways. I just adopted her from the pound this morning; I am planning to zap her once I get the final map piece, then put her up for adoption. After my first adventure into fostering, I knew that I wanted to try it again, but I wasn't sure how soon, apparently very. My new foster pet is already getting acquainted with my other two pets, i_am_thatgirl and __Cheerful_Baby__. I cannot wait for her to become whatever the lab ray has in store for her.
If you have issues with money, remember that you can always go to the soup kitchen and the giant omelette every day. Plus, there are plenty of shops in Neopia that have foods for sale for low prices. Fostering a pet does not have to be expensive. Any pet would gladly just come out of the pound to be fed and played with. Fostering a pet could cost whatever you wanted: a little if you plan to do it often, or a lot if you want to only foster every once in a while and do something extravagant for your foster-pets.
Say you already have four pets; well, I'm not going to tell you to pound one just to foster other pets, but maybe there are other ways. If you have a friend who fosters, you could send them toys and food to help out. Mind you, none of this is mandatory, just some simple suggestions. You could also open an adoption agency to help get fostered pets new homes. There is always something that you could do, even if it's not actually taking in a pet and fostering it. Remember, like I said before, NONE of this is mandatory.
I talked to one foster-user on Neopets and this is what she had to say about fostering:
Me: What is that you do when you foster pets?
Foster-user: I just adopt them and nurse them back to good health. Then I either zap them or paint them. Once they are fit to be adopted, I search around to find a good owner for them.
Me: What would you say to any users looking to foster a neopets?
Foster-user: Try it. I guarantee that you will find it a rewarding experience that you will want to repeat again and again.
One of my neofriends is also fostering a neopet right now. She got into it after I told her about my times fostering. Here's what she had to say about fostering:
"I love to go and look in the pound and find a pet that is truly in bad shape and then nurse it back to health. I always feel so good knowing that I helped another pet survive and helped another owner get a new pet that they can now love. I do regular check-ups with my owners to make sure that their pets are getting along just fine. Sometimes I'll buy food or toys and give them to the owners for that pet on its birthday. I like to keep in touch with my former foster-pets and with their new owners."
See? So now you know that anything is possible with fostering. Whether you actually take a pet in and help it or help out another user that's fostering, anybody can help. Hopefully you have been inspired to foster a neopet, just like I was. Please, go out and tell your neofriends, or post on the boards; people need to know about fostering, what it is and how it can really help. With fostering you could help another user find their dream pet, or maybe even find your dream pet. Anything is possible when it comes to fostering.

For most adults at our Norwalk and Westport offices, Invisalign has become the treatment of choice to achieve orthodontic correction. At Westwalk Orthodontic Group, our orthodontists have been utilizing aligner treatment for more than fifteen years.
What is aligner therapy?
Aligner treatment is the "Clear Alternative to Braces." To achieve orthodontic correction, we use a series of clear aligners to align teeth gradually and create the perfect smile. Aligner treatment is extremely aesthetic, because the clear aligners are essentially unnoticeable.
Is aligner treatment for both adults and children?
Yes, aligners can be utilized to accomplish orthodontic correction in both adults and children.
We highly utilize aligner therapy in our practice. It provides an excellent alternative to braces for patients of all ages.
How does aligner treatment work?
Essentially, we use a series of clear trays to move teeth gradually. The trays are made specifically for each patient and fit the teeth snugly. Each tray is typically worn for two weeks and accomplishes a mild amount of movement. The series of trays are worn in succession, and each tray works to align the teeth further and correct the bite relationship.
How long does aligner treatment take to accomplish orthodontic correction?
The answer to this question depends on the amount of tooth movement necessary to achieve a perfect smile and bite relationship. Of course, the question can only be answered on an individual basis, depending on the degree of correction necessary.
Some patients require a series of only five trays, while others may need more than 30. Similarly, some patients need only two months to achieve correction while others need one to two years. Your orthodontist will provide you with an estimated length of treatment before you even begin.
Is Invisalign the same as aligner therapy?
Yes, Invisalign is a specific company in the clear aligner industry. Here at Westwalk Orthodontic Group, our doctors use a variety of aligner companies depending on your needs as a patient.
Braces vs. aligners
Braces and aligners are both excellent options to achieve the desired orthodontic correction, but they are extremely different with their own advantages and disadvantages. Below, we compare braces versus Invisalign:
Aligner Advantages
- More aesthetic
- Almost unnoticeable to friends and family
- Easier to brush and floss, because the trays can be removed
- Can eat whatever you like when the trays are removed
Aligner Disadvantages
- Need to remove trays before eating or drinking
- Relies on the patient being responsible to wear trays 22 hours each day
Braces: Advantages
- Less reliant on patient compliance: The braces are fixed to the teeth, so orthodontic correction can proceed without relying on the patient to remember to wear trays.
- More efficient: Braces can accomplish orthodontic correction in a more efficient manner in most situations. In addition, braces provide more control to the orthodontist to alter the treatment if teeth are not moving as efficiently as expected.
Braces: Disadvantages
- Less aesthetic, even with clear ceramic braces
- Proper brushing and flossing is more time consuming.
- Need to avoid hard foods to avoid any breakage of the appliances. With Invisalign, you can remove the trays to eat whatever food you like.
Should I take special care of my teeth with aligners?
Before you begin treatment, your orthodontist will discuss the significance of proper oral hygiene. In addition to brushing and flossing, there are a few important "rules" to follow:
You should not eat or drink with your trays in your mouth. The exception is water without any lemon or lime. When you have a drink (e.g., Gatorade, soda, lemonade, coffee, etc.) with your trays in, you are trapping the liquid between the trays and your teeth.
Remember, these clear aligners are made to adapt snugly. So the sugary or acidic liquid is squeezed right against the enamel surface. As a result, demineralization or even cavities can develop. This undesirable sequelae has been noted in aligner patients, more so in male teenagers as they sip on Gatorade throughout the afternoon with friends and play recreational sports.
When you need to have a snack or a drink, you should take your trays out. When finished, brush your teeth before replacing your trays. If you cannot brush, at least rinse thoroughly with water or seltzer at the minimum.
The time-consuming process of taking the trays out and brushing after every snack has caused many patients to tell us that Invisalign served as an unintentional weight-loss program.
Also, proper oral hygiene protocols should be followed throughout Invisalign treatment:
- Brush your teeth for two minutes and your tongue for 30 seconds two to three times a day.
- Floss thoroughly every day.
- Brush before bed.
- See your general dentist every four to six months for routine hygiene and exam appointments.

More than 40% of organizations are looking to improve or develop a new strategy for enterprise HR systems this year, according to the results of a recently released survey from Sierra-Cedar. The 19th annual survey, which includes input from more than 1,500 organizations, annually tracks the adoption, deployment approaches, and value achieved from HR technologies.
Business leaders are increasingly aware of how enterprise HR systems can positively affect their business strategy, culture, and technology adoption, and their expectations for these systems continue to expand. We regularly work to improve and evolve our Oracle Human Capital Management products—and it's gratifying to see that our system is prepared to meet the changing needs of HR leaders.
The world continues to become more connected and integrated through technology, and many HR leaders are at the forefront of this trend. For instance, executives responding to the research survey said some of their top priorities at the moment include the following:
More than ever, employers are looking to integrate other organizational systems with their cloud-based HR system. According to Sierra-Cedar, organizations are 25% more likely to explore non-HR cloud deployments this year.
Fortunately for our users, Oracle's cloud technologies are even more useful when they unify HCM and enterprise resource planning (ERP). For example, by unifying HR and financial analytics, you can align all levels of your organization and deliver cross-functional reporting; this allows all users to access the information they need with a modern, familiar, consumer-like interface. With a common technology framework being used across the organization, all departments share the same standards for integration, security, social, analytics, and mobile use.
At Oracle, user experience (UX) is part of our DNA. Our product's user interface is easy to use because it's similar to the consumer devices that people use in other aspects of their lives.
Looking ahead, Oracle is working with new technologies such as wearables to continually improve our UX. Every day at Oracle headquarters, technologists in our cloud UX lab explore new technologies to discover and develop the user experience of the future.
Using technology once meant sitting down at a desktop computer. But today, we use more types of technology naturally and constantly, from the fitness tracker on our wrist to the home security system connected to our smartphone. The next generation of technology is being designed to inform our decisions and simplify our activities, and to be invisible and ubiquitous in our lives.
It shouldn't be surprising to discover that more than 5% of organizations are already using machine-learning wearables and sentiment analysis tools as strategic components of their HR systems strategies, according to Sierra-Cedar. And Oracle HCM is ahead of the curve: We are exploring the capabilities of integrating with smart watches, such as the Apple Watch to allow workers in the field to track their hours based on geolocation.
Voice recognition technology is being explored as well. For instance, users can ask their devices, "How many hours of vacation time do I have available?" or use voice commands such as, "Update my benefits plan to include my new baby."
HR technology is a clear differentiator and advantage for midmarket companies, according to the respondents to the Sierra-Cedar survey. For example, midmarket companies with high rates of adopting HR technology see greater revenue per employee and better business outcomes, and they're 75% more likely to be viewed as strategic partners by their business leaders.
Midsize companies report multiple benefits from implementing Oracle HCM, including complete hire-to-retire management capabilities and access to real-time business insights and analytics. And with access to the data-based insights that are critical for informing business decisions, HR leaders in midsize companies find that they can more easily earn a seat at the executive table.
As HR leaders continue to demand enterprise technology systems with greater capabilities and strategic implications, Oracle HCM Cloud continues to deliver. Learn more about what Oracle HCM Cloud can do for your organization.

Wow, last week was a tough one to be a celebrity sports figure with a compelling backstory. Lance Armstrong, widely known for his Tour de France wins and Livestrong Foundation, just admitted to cheating and making accusations against innocent people. Manti Te'o is just sorting out his own kerfuffle about his girlfriend. He was an inspiration to his Notre Dame football teammates as he played through the grief from the deaths of his grandmother (true) and his girlfriend (untrue). Yikes.
The Veteran and the Rookie
Lance's situation has been brewing for years. Many people already had suspicions or had given personal testimony about his cheating. I heard a clip from his interview with Oprah about how he planned to "control every outcome". Basically he didn't think it was wrong at the time because everyone else was cheating, too. Plus, he was going to be in control of his story to keep it just the way he wanted it.
Manti seems like quite a rookie compared to Lance. His story only developed over the last year or two and just started to unravel a few days ago. It's so bizarre because Manti was held up as an inspiration to his teammates, other Notre Dame students, and who knows how many fans nationwide. He was also in the National Championship game as well as being the Heisman runner-up. Wow.
Unfortunately, his story has so many holes that he's barely able to do an interview before ten more holes open up. Apparently he "tweaked" his story along the way because he was caught up in the hoax and didn't know how to shut it down. This story is still so hot with a lot of fresh information coming out. Lying to keep up with the previous lies has gotten him in deep water.
What Happens to Lance and Manti Now?
I've heard that Lance could still make money in a variety of ways. I've also heard that plenty of NFL teams would be willing to put up with the Manti's embarrassing situation as long has he does well on his performance tests before the draft. I know people need to have a chance to live their life after they fess up to big lies, but it still makes me sigh deeply with disappointment.
Does it mean we can never hold up public figures as heroes or role models anymore? No, that isn't completely realistic. Our kids inevitably make their own opinions about famous people. Sometimes celebrities aren't that important, other times they are. And let's face it, we adults do it, too. Compelling backstories from a popular athlete or celebrity are hard to ignore. That's what makes them seem more human, more like us. When we find out their integrity has been shaken, we need to take another look at who we can look to as a better example.
Life After the Lies
I've explained these lies to my kids and showed them how each situation went from bad to worse. These stories easily illustrate how lying to cover up lies only adds more problems instead of solving them. Maybe someday I'll be able to tell my kids how these men handled the aftermath, how they've lived with the lie after the truth came out. There's a lesson in that, too.

Restoring an 1806 Home to Showcase Mexican Culture (and Tequila)
Arturo Lomeli says the Mexican city of San Miguel de Allende "is one of the most photogenic places I have ever seen."
He loves the neighborhood a lot that in December, he purchased an 1806 dwelling there and has employed a workforce of architects, designers and expert employees to restore it.
But Mr. Lomeli, the founding father of the tequila model Clase Azul and a resident of Los Angeles, doesn't plan to transfer in. Instead, he intends to use the home to promote Mexican tradition and his tequila, providing customers the prospect to paint the handmade bottles his tequila is bought in.
A Mexican artisan takes 11 days to make every bottle. The course of includes mixing soils to create a base that's poured right into a cask mildew, polished, glazed, painted and baked in an oven heated to greater than 2,100 levels Fahrenheit.
"We want people to keep these bottles forever and reuse them as vases, lamps and other decorative objects," Mr. Lomeli stated.
Restoring his home in San Miguel de Allende, which has Unesco World Heritage designation, has required similar handiwork.
The city, in the mountains about 170 miles north of Mexico City, was once under the radar, but is now a mainstay for tourists and has drawn international hotel companies, including Belmond and Rosewood, to open properties there.
The Clase Azul house is expected to open to the public by late summer.
Jonah Flicker, who writes about spirits, said that Clase Azul was one of the leaders in the premium tequila category, in large part because of its beautiful and unique packaging.
"The bottles are pretty eye-catching to both consumers shopping at stores and checking out what's behind the bar, and the liquid inside is considered to be of pretty high quality," he said. The prices — ranging from $70 to $1,800 a bottle — "can be outrageous," he added, "but it's a very drinkable tequila without any harsh burn."
Mr. Lomeli described San Miguel de Allende as having a magical feel, with its cobblestone streets. "It has the best restaurants and art galleries," he said. "I love it there personally and also wanted my business to have a strong presence there."
The quest for the perfect house took several months, but his broker, Richard Trejo, eventually stumbled upon the property that Mr. Lomeli wanted.
"Richard sent me pictures, and I was instantly attracted to how traditional it is," he said. (He would not disclose what he paid for the property, but the senior director of marketing for Clase Azul, Jose Martinez, said similar houses in Mexico cost around $1 million).
A short walk from the city's historic downtown, the 5,540-square-foot home has 10 rooms on three levels.
While it is not known who originally lived there, Mr. Lomeli's architect, Elias Rizo, well known in Mexico for his work on high-profile residences, including a contemporary house last year near Guadalajara, said that the construction was typical of a San Miguel de Allende house from the early 19th century.
It has 28-inch-thick adobe walls; a 375-square-foot interior patio with vine plants; arches everywhere; 13-foot-high curved ceilings; and wrought-iron balconies.
Characteristic of Mexican homes, the floors are made of clay tiles, and all the rooms surround the patio. "To this day, the central patio is the heart of every typical colonial house in Mexico," Mr. Rizo said.
San Miguel del Allende's colonial architecture was financed by the silver mines in Guanajuato State, he said. After the mining era ended in the early 20th century, the city became a ghost town. As a result, unlike many other cities in Mexico, it never became modernized.
"Luckily, even though there is more development now, the foreign as well as indigenous local residents strive to preserve the traditional architecture," Mr. Rizo said.
Both he and Mr. Lomeli describe the renovation, expected to take five months, as more like a restoration — to present visitors with a house that looks almost as it did when it was new.
Norma Barbacci, a preservationist who has worked on projects in and around San Miguel de Allende, said the home, similar to all of the city's colonial architecture, was an artifact. "It's integral to the identity of the city," she said. "Preserving it means keeping history alive."
Workers are cleaning and repairing every wall, beam and floor. They're also removing the greenhouse roof that now covers the patio — it was added at some point after the house was built, but the original intent was to have an open patio where families would gather to socialize, dine or soak up the sun. "We want it to be as grand as it once was," Mr. Rizo said.
The new incarnation will favor a neutral color palette and incorporate antique rustic wood and stone floors.
Mr. Lomeli said he planned to showcase art — sculptures, paintings, photography and site-specific installations by artists who are actively working in Mexico — and host food tastings and dinners that focus on regional Mexican cuisine.
Although it's not a home he will live in, he does plan to spend time there interacting with visitors. "It's my house, and it's a place where everyone is invited," he said.

Introduction: Making a Burning Man Branding Iron
I was recently asked to make a Burning Man branding iron approximately 1" in height. I had not made a branding
iron before, but it seemed simple enough. The trickiest part was the small scale, but I love welding so I jumped
right into this project.
Step 1: I collected all the necessary tools and materials.
*this project was made at TechShopSan Jose
-"what will you make?"
Step 1: Materials and Tools
Acquire all the necessary tools and materials:
1" print out of the Burning Man logo for reference
1/8" weldable steel square rod
angle grinder w/ cut off wheel
helping hand
grinding wheel
TIG welder
Step 2: Prepping the Material
Cut stock metal to size. I clamped my rod into the vice and using the angle grinder and a cut-off wheel started cutting. Cut 2 sections for the legs (slightly larger than 1"), a couple of 1/4" pieces (to become the head), and several larger sections
at arbitrary lengths for connecting all the pieces together and forming a handle.
Bend leg sections to match the design of the Burning Man logo. Again, I clamped my rod into a vice, this time
striking the open end with a hammer until bent into position.
I also bent a few of the connecting rods in the same fashion.
Step 3: Welding!
Start welding! (My favorite part of the process)
Once I had all the metal cut, bent, and fully prepped it was time to start putting it all together.
I used a helping hand to hold all of my small pieces in place as I welded.
First I welded the small 1/4" pieces to a larger piece (that would become the handle) to make the head. (I briefly
skipped to the next step and grinded the head before I continued welding.) Then I connected the legs to their supporting
rods. And lastly, I added some bracing to attach the whole thing together.
Step 4: Grinding and Finishing
As I mentioned in the previous step, after I welded the head to the handle I used a grinding wheel to
quickly shape the head to its proper dimensions. Once the whole thing was assembled, I took it to the grinding wheel to
grind the branding surface to level.
Step 5: Branding Time!
That's it! Now it is ready to use.
It's crude and dirty, but hey it does the job.
Just heat it up and starting branding!

Mayor Sandy Stimpson has fired Mobile City Council spokeswoman Marion Steinfels in an apparent response to a disagreement with councilors, Council Vice President Levon Manzie confirmed in a statement.
In the statement emailed to Lagniappe this afternoon, Manzie said the council was "extremely disappointed" with the action and accused Stimpson of personally retaliating against Steinfels.
"For the past [two] years, Marion has been instrumental in helping us better connect with our citizens to ensure we are addressing their concerns and needs," Manzie wrote. "She has served the citizens of Mobile well — spending countless nights and weekends putting together and executing everything from community events to job fairs — like the one that over 300 of our residents came out to this past Tuesday night."
In her own statement, Steinfels confirmed that city attorney Ricardo Woods informed her Thursday morning that her position had been eliminated. She said she was "completely blindsided" by the move. Steinfels said her city issued phone was disabled within minutes of the notice.
"A few minutes later, in the middle of a conversation with one of the council members, my phone service went dead," she said.
Steinfels said in the statement she has enjoyed her time working for the council and the residents of Mobile.
"We have made great strides making city government more accessible, taking on important community projects and using the council members' platforms for the good of the city. There is still much more work to be done and I'm hopeful we are able to keep it going."
City spokeswoman Laura Byrne said in a statement that city policy doesn't allow for comments on personnel matters.
Despite working for the council, Steinfels was appointed by Stimpson in 2016. She was hired outside of the merit system, meaning she does not have the protections granted under the Mobile County Personnel Board.
According to a recently obtained list of non-merit salaries paid by the city, Steinfels made $65,000 per year in her position.
Councilors and administration officials have been at odds publicly over amendments to the 2019 budget passed by the council at the end of last month. Some of those amendments resulted in a significant cut to funding for Stimpson's communications staff. Councilors also made cuts to GulfQuest Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico and the mayor's Innovation Team.

According to World Health Organization, Mental Health is a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to contribute to her or his community.
Mental illness however, is the exact opposite, which is closely associated with substance abuse, unmanaged stress level, environmental hazards and depression.
Unfortunately, in a society like ours, mental health and every other medical term associated with it has, for a very long time, been a dreaded subject to talk about.
There is an increasing stigma attached to it which prevents people from seeking mental health care when necessary. Sadly, the less attention we pay to mental health, the more risk of having a dysfunctional society.
Here are some very interesting facts we may not be aware of in Nigeria but should pay attention to:
- Mental illness is not uncommon in Nigeria. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that four percent of Nigerians suffer from depression.
- Despite the existence of effective treatments for mental disorders, there is a belief that they are untreatable or that people with mental disorders are difficult, not intelligent, or incapable of making decisions.
- This stigma can lead to abuse, rejection and isolation and exclude people from health care or support.
- Individuals suffering from mental illness are generally seen as dangerous, regardless of their type or diagnosis of mental illness.
- Nigeria's only existing Mental Health Policy document was formulated in 1991. Although a bill for the establishment of a Mental Health Act was introduced in 2003 and re-introduced to the National Assembly in 2013, this is yet to be passed into law.
- No desk exists in the ministries at any level for mental health and only 3.3% of the federal government's health budget goes to mental health.

Croatia earned their first win at the European Championship 2016 in Hoofddorp with a 10-0 shutout in eight innings against Greece. Five runs in the first two frames decided the outcome early.

New streamlined social services complaints system comes into force in Wales
A new system that streamlines the way people can make complaints about social services in Wales comes into force today (August 1). The system replaces the current one which has been in place since 2005.
According to Gwenda Thomas, social services minister, it will offer, "a more straightforward and citizen-centred approach that is consistent with other public services".
The new two-stage process includes an informal stage during which all those who raise a complaint are offered a discussion to resolve the matter, while still offering people recourse to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales.
The new system brings the social services complaints and representations process in line with the Model Concerns and Complaints Policy and Guidance which has been adopted across public services in Wales and make the social services complaints process consistent with the NHS complaints process.
Local authorities will be required to ensure that the new two stage process is accessible and flexible and operates in a timely manner in line with the Regulations and Guidance brought into force today.
Service users have the right to choose to use the Welsh language to proceed through the complaints process.
The Welsh Government has produced guidance for local authorities and provided practitioner workshops in north and south Wales to support implementation.

text: GARDNER � Arts/poetry, the newest pilot project of the Lifelong Learning Institute For Enrichment Program at Mount Wachusett Community College is a short-term project with long-term goals. The goal of the 3- to 4-month pilot project is to unite six high school poets with six senior citizen artists, according to LIFE Program Coordinator Lorraine Wickman. She said each high school poet will submit three poems to the artist they are partnered with. That artist will then choose one of those three poems and create a work of art, centered on the chosen poem. �The whole thing is pending right now,� Ms. Wickman said. �We are waiting for classes to start at Gardner High School.� Ms. Wickman is not the only one waiting for classes at the high school to begin � so is poetry club adviser Michael Crowley, as his job will be to find the poets. �I will be looking for the kids to write the poems as soon as classes begin and we organize the poetry club,� Mr. Crowley said. �I am positive that this is going to happen.� Ms. Wickman said she has selected the six artists who will be participating in the program. The program coordinator said each one of them works in a different medium. Those mediums include sculpting. photography, wood, stained glass, painting and paper sculpture. She said the combined works would be shown during a reception planned for sometime in December. Ms. Wickman said the Arts/poetry project will make a welcome addition to the other two programs� intergenerational projects the LIFE Program is running this fall at the college. She said the program, which she indicated has been ongoing at the school for nine years, is also conducting a writing project that pairs one student writer with a senior citizen to write on the same topic, as well as an arts project that brings senior artists together with students from the Helen Mae Sauter School. The works created in these two programs will also be shown at the December reception. During the time that LIFE has been in existence at the school, the coordinator was impressed with how much the program has grown. �We have been trying to get the senior citizens to serve as mentors and ambassadors to younger people,� Ms. Wickman said. �We have done a lot of things, but I really want to see where this project is going to go.� email@example.com

The Dutch coalition government resigned Monday after failing to agree on budget terms that would meet EU targets for deficit reduction.
Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Rutte will formally offer a cabinet resignation statement to Queen Beatrix later today, Dutch broadcaster RTL reported, after an emergency debate failed to stabilise the government after the withdraw of coalition partner's Geert Wilders's Freedom Party over the weekend.
Opposition Labor Party leader Diederik Samson has said he will only support deficit reduction measures - inside an agreed budget - if a general election is held in September, three years earlier than scheduled.
Holland's benchmark AEX index extended losses following news of the resignation, falling nearly 2.5 percent on the day to trade at 301.46, the lowest level since December of last year.
The extra yield, or spread, investors demand to hold triple-A Dutch government bonds instead of bunds rose sharply to 69 basis points today, a three-year high. Credit default swap contract prices were also on the rise, rising 10 basis points to 129 basis points following the resignation. This means an investor would pay $12,900 each year for five years to insure $10m in Dutch government debt from default, just $700 from the record high.
Holland's 2013 budget deficit is tabbed at 4.6 percent - well ahead of the EU's mandated target of 3 percent. Lawmakers will need at least €9.5bn in spending cuts to bring the nation's finances in-line. Finance Minister Jan Kees de jager said he expects to be able to negotiate with other lawmakers to meet the 3 percent target. The EU Commission said immediately after the resignation that it "trusts" the Dutch government will continue to seek budgetary solutions. A 30 April deadline looms for details to be submitted to the EU.
The failure of Rutte and de jager to win support for deficit reduction is a huge embarrassment for the pair, who have been the most vocal supporters of the EU's fiscal treaty and have regularly spoken out in criticism of so-called "budget sinners" Greece and Portugal.

text: Brickos 715 Posted September 9, 2010 Choice Bro... :lol: :lol: :lol: Blah blah... Bst of youtube... Blah blah... A pair of alleged vandals were captured by a New Zealand couple and forced to dance on camera until police arrived. The two young men had allegedly sprayed graffiti tags on a fence at the home in Whangarei on Thursday night last week. The next day a couple who live at the home tracked them down and forced them to come back to their house where they called the police. While they waited for police to arrive, the couple took out a video camera and forced the men to dance for at least ten minutes. "You f--- with us we'll f--- with you twice as hard," a woman is heard saying on the video, which was originally posted to YouTube but has since been removed. It was not clear how the couple managed to capture the teens or whether a weapon was involved. The man filming the incident, who has been identified only as Izzy, told 3News.co.nz that when police showed up at the house they burst out laughing. Four other officers were allegedly called in to watch the performance. Whangarei police have now released a statement saying they are investigating the incident and the actions of the police involved. One of the alleged taggers has been charged with willful damage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Light and fluffy buckwheat pancakes
Who can resist a big pile of pancakes?
These buckwheat pancakes are incredibly light, airy and fluffy. Perfect for breakfast as well for a weekend brunch. A real pancake dream. And they are perfect for you who cannot eat gluten as they're gluten free.
These pancakes are great with fresh berries, sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup. Or if you like your pancakes with ice cream this raspberry ice cream is a winner.
What is buckwheat?
Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. In fact, it's not even a grain, it's actually a seed and is related to sorrel and rhubarb.
But as its composition of protein, fat and carbohydrates is similar to grains, it's considered being a pseudograin.
It's naturally gluten free, making it perfect for anyone who can't eat gluten.
The secret to the fluffiness of these pancakes
The airy and light texture of these pancakes comes from using a mix of buckwheat flour and rice flour.
Using buckwheat flour alone will make them too dense, and using rice flour will make them to crumbly.
But a mixture of buckwheat flour and rice flour makes them perfectly light and airy.
Yes is the short answer to this question! Simply fry them in the pan on medium heat in a little bit of oil or butter. They will get slightly more crispy on the outside but still be light and fluffy inside.
Or you can pop them in the toaster for a minute until they are hot.

- Combine rice flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine egg and yogurt.
- Add egg mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until blended.
- Fry the pancakes in a little bit of oil/butter in a pancake pan/frying pan on medium heat for about 50 seconds, or until you see the upper surface start to slightly bubble, then flip them over and cook until nice and golden on both sides.
- Enjoy with toppings of your choice.

I just feel low.
For no real particular reason.
And then to make my low-ness even lower
I get an e-mail from the ex.
"I really want you to let me see the girls tomorrow."
Well, we've already discussed that he can't see them unless he follows the parenting plan which is at a supervised visitation center and he flat refuses.
So, here I am stuck in a dilemma.
My oldest (after the whole calling the police shenanigans he pulled) is extremely fearful of seeing him.
My little one is neutral and even leaning on the side of wanting to see him because she knows he will buy her toys.
Part of me thinks, what is the harm of letting him see them for a couple hours?
While my logical mind ticks of the reasons why the above thought shouldn't even cross my mind:
- He called the police on me for no good reason
- He is not stable or consistent
- He is a loose cannon and I no longer know his limits
- He isn't following the parenting plan
- When I give him an inch he takes ten miles

Rachel Maddow Exposes Illegal CIA Program, For Sure
"The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC is a hot item for fans of the ultra-Left. She was on top of Dick Cheney's cover-up of a massive secret CIA program to assassinate foreign leaders. In case you missed it, you can see how she cleverly put together the facts from New York Times articles and interviews with a Congresswomen. It's on YouTube
She followed up with further analysis revealing that in all probability some of the secret assassinations were blundered, so that a cover-up was necessary to protect the Bush Administration. That's why Vice President Cheney ordered the CIA not to brief Congress on the program. A dozen small clues were fit together under Maddow's scrutiny to show convincingly that at the very least a Congression investigation was merited, and with almost certainty Cheney should be prosecuted as a criminal.
Maddow received a Ph.D. in Political Science as a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford. She must have the brilliant mind needed to put the pieces together.
As the story unfolded, Maddow didn't bother to mention a few press reports that others might have found relevant.
1. General Hayden, CIA director under Bush after George Tenet, told the press that he kept congress fully informed of the scope and substance of anti-terrorist activities. He said had never been directed by anyone not to brief Congress.
"A former intelligence official who was familiar with former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden's tenure at the CIA said Hayden never communicated with the president or vice president about the now-canceled program and was under no restrictions from Cheney about congressional briefings. The official said Hayden was briefed two or three times. … The former intelligence official familiar with Hayden said Congress has a right to contemporaneous information about all CIA activities. But he said there are so many in such early stages that briefing Congress on every one would be too time consuming for both the CIA and the congressional committees." AP
2. The "massive" program consumed $1 million over eight years. Taking into account the overhead on employees, that translates to about one person working on it for each of the eight years, provided the person didn't do much traveling. the total budget for national intelligence is around $45 billion. If Congress wishes to be briefed in $1 million increments, that would make 45,000 convenient packages.
3. The program really wasn't a program. A program is a plan that is put into action. this one never got beyond the study phase. The law requires that Congress be briefed on "anticipated intelligence action." No intelligence action is anticipated until a plan is ready to be acted upon, and this one never made it to that point. It died in development.
"CIA spokesman George Little said Panetta had no regrets about briefing Congress. But he reiterated that the plan never got off the ground. … The program he killed was never fully operational and never took a single terrorist off the battlefield," Little said. "Those are facts he shared with Congress. We've had a string of successes against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, and that program didn't contribute to any of them." quoted by Fox News
4. The persons subject to potential assassination were al Queda leaders. It would be a scandal if the CIA was not thinking about how to assassinate al Queda leaders.
In a follow-up report, Maddow interviewed a former State Department official who work for Colin Powell. He knew nothing whatsoever that was relevant, but was willing to opine that Maddow's analysis was surely correct. When that program appeared, Gen. Hayden had already denied that he had never been ordered to keep the activity from Congress. Maddow didn't bother to mention that fact. That was the pattern throughout.
As a true-believing ideologue, Maddow might be expected to dismiss contrary evidence as a pack of lies. "Of course Hayden denies it. What would you expect?" "Only $1 million? That's not what we hear." It is the stock and trade of conspiracy theorists to dismiss contrary evidence as "obvious lies." They are pronounced lies because they contradict the theory.
Maddow went beyond that. Maddow's concealing the contrary evidence entirely crosses the line between errant analysis and outright propaganda. Perhaps new evidence will be revealed that vindicates Maddow's analysis. That is possible. That would not excuse gross editing of the contrary evidence. Even an ideologically-motivated commentator has an obligation to acknowledge contrary information, even if subsequently dismissing it.
Why might Cheney have instructed the CIA not to brief Congress initially, if the program were not a massive cover up. It's pure speculation, but perhaps it had something to do with Congress' spotty record at keeping secrets. When Panetta killed the program, the news of it was publiched within weeks.Explore posts in the same categories: News, Opinion

The History of Royal Women Website is a community project run by a group of enthusiastic women from various countries and professional backgrounds. The website is well structured, lovingly designed and regularly updated.
Articles about royal women are sorted according to the kingdom they married into or, if they remained celibate, according to the kingdom they were born in. Most of the articles are biographic and offer a general overview of their subjects' lives, but some discuss more specific topics. There is also a section called "special series" covering various topics or regions. A search button at the bottom of the page will lead a visitor to all articles concerning the royal woman he or she is looking for.
The section for "Places to visit" includes royal residences and burial places, travel guides and a helpful list of ongoing exhibitions worldwide focusing on royal women. There is also a strong focus on articles about television series and documentaries.
The home page features the more recent posts, the must reads and book reviews that cover everything from historical fiction to biographies to more scientific literature. There is also a Youtube channel attached to the website featuring mostly videos on sights and exhibitions.
Some of the articles posted are taken from various journals and newspapers covering a wide range of topics and time frames which shows the dedication of the website contributors.
Yet, the website could extend certain topics and establish perhaps a section for visual portrayals like Royal Women in art. Most of the articles display several paintings, mostly portraits but there is not much information on the artists and which museum or private collection they could be found in.
As stated above, much of the biographic information is rather general and can often be found on other websites as well. Many writers make references in their articles but often very few and some do not indicate their sources at all.
Those who are working on the topic, perhaps preparing a presentation, will find this website a good starting point for some overall information and useful links. Since the use of a limited number of sources often creates a one-sided picture, university students and scholars have to treat certain information with caution. Although the website is not primarily directed at scholars of history, it offers some interesting reading and perhaps a suggestion for an article. One might also find a shortcut to useful books, an exhibition nearby or a captivating documentary to watch.
It is an ambitious project with information on an impressive number of royal women and women close to royalty, for instance mistresses. The website's strength lies in the variety of topics, in its visuality and in the commitment of the team. For the majority of the contributors, history is more a passion than their career and for anyone with the same passion in history, this website has much to offer, if not on a professional, then at least on a private level.
