If you're ready to plan your next trip to Mendocino County, we highly recommend you swing by Taste Mendocino in San Francisco on April 27. Between 1 pm and 4 pm, at Fort Mason Center (in Gallery 308), you can meet representatives from this County full of striking natural beauty, friendly small towns, and excellent wineries just 90 miles north of The City. Winemakers, brewmasters, farmers, chefs, innkeepers and other local artisans will share samples of their products and provide information about this area's diverse offerings.
Over 30 Mendocino County wineries will be pouring their best wines for attendees, paired with small bites from the region's top chefs. Participating wineries will include Alder Springs Vineyard, Barra, Brutocao, Campovida, Fathers + Daughters Cellars, Goldeneye Winery, Handley Cellars, Husch Vineyards, Long Meadow Ranch, Maple Creek Winery, Navarro Vineyards, Parducci Wine Cellars, Seebass Vineyards, Theopolis Vineyards and Waits-Mast Family Cellars.
Taste Mendocino will also serve as a gourmet marketplace where you can purchase items. Of the purveyors that will be there on the 27th, here are some we already love:
- Black Oak Coffee Roasters – This premium coffee roaster in Ukiah roasts their own beans onsite, and won Overall Champion Roaster at the 2017 Golden Bean North America Roaster Competition. We stop by every time we're in the area. Our favorite beans include Lintong (Sumatra), Riakiberu (Kenya), Heartwood (Medium Roast), Black Bart (Dark Roast) and Canopy (Decaf).
- Gowan Family Orchards – The Gowan family has been growing apples on their land for over 140 years, and now they are also proud producers of Real California Cider ® (made from 100% apples grown in California). Our favorite ciders are their Macintosh Heirloom, Gravenstein Heirloom, and Heirloom Cuvée 1876. FYI, the Gravenstein Cider just won Best of Class at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
- Kemmy's Pies – This baker of fresh, handmade pies always delivers their products freshly baked (never frozen) to local markets and specialty stores in Mendocino, Humboldt, Lake and Sonoma Counties. We've been big fans of her Apple Crumb Pie, Blackberry Crumb Pie and CranApple Blueberry Walnut Crumb. Kemmy's current "Kreation of the Month" is a Cherry Port pie.
- Lovers Lane Farm – We love the gourmet honey from this small family-run homestead in Ukiah. There are no chemicals or pesticides used in the honey production: it is pure, unfiltered and unprocessed. Depending on the season, you may also find bee pollen, comb honey, chunk honey, infused honeys and more available.
- Pennyroyal Farm – This is a family-owned, sustainable dairy, creamery and vineyard in Boonville, California and we are fans of both their wines and cheeses. Our favorite product here is the Laychee, a fresh cheese that undergoes two days of acidification but no ripening.
- Schat's Bakery & Café – In 1991 Brian and Zachary Schat had a goal of starting a neighborhood bakery and since then Schat's has evolved into three Ukiah locations. We usually focus on their wonderful sandwiches, but Schat's offers a full spectrum of breads and pastries and cookies as well. Their bread menu includes French, Sourdough, Sourdough Wheat, Multi-Grain Wheat, Sheepherders, Dutch Crunch, Rye, and Honey Molasses.
- Shamrock Artisan Goat Cheese – This family-owned farmstead cheese producer has been a creamery since 1983. The farm is located north of Willits, and the goat herd here consists of Alpines, La Manchas and Nubians Dairy. We are big fans of their soft chevre.
Mendocino County – Lodging Assistance
Another reason you should attend Taste Mendocino is that you can meet representatives from several Inns in the County to help you make a future lodging decision. Harbor House Inn (Elk) is on the edge of the Pacific Coast and its Executive Chef, Matthew Kammerer, was recently named one of Food and Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs of 2019. Heritage House Resort and Spa (Little River) offers 37 acres of lush greenery, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and spa treatments which can even take place in the privacy of your room. The Madrones (Philo) is located in the heart of Anderson Valley, with three winery tasting rooms on the actual premises. Little River Inn (Elk) has been welcoming guests since 1939 and has the only golf course on the Mendocino Coast. Noyo Harbor Inn (Fort Bragg) offers a unique coastal location for special gatherings and events, including weddings.
So, if you're ready to buy tickets, please go here and order them. Advance-price admission is $60 per person, for 3 hours of wine tasting, food sampling, and planning your next long weekend. That pretty much counts as multi-tasking.

MOGILEV, 15 March (BelTA) – In 2016 resident companies of the free economic zone (FEZ) Mogilev intend to increase export by 5.3% from 2015 to $800 million. The information was released by Andrei Yartsev, head of the FEZ Mogilev administration, during the conference held on 15 March to discuss last year's performance of the free economic zone and this year's prospects, BelTA has learned.
Taking into account new economic conditions this year FEZ Mogilev resident companies will continue working to diversify target markets. Nine countries were added to the export list of FEZ Mogilev resident companies. "This year we are also going to work on finding new target markets. We will work to export more merchandise while pursuing the policy of steady diversification of export between three main markets — the Eurasian Economic Union, the European Union, and distant-arc countries," said Andrei Yartsev. Foreign trade efforts are expected to secure a surplus.
In 2016 the resident companies and the FEZ Mogilev administration intend to invest Br1.8 trillion in fixed capital, with Br1.2 trillion to be invested by resident companies without departmental affiliation. Foreign direct investments are expected to reach $45 million, including $40 million in FDI on net terms.
The official noted that the main avenues of efforts in 2016 will be work with existing residents with regard to investments in the modernization of their manufacturing facilities. The FEZ Mogilev administration will also work with the resident companies, which are in the construction stage, as well as with potential investors. "We have made some headway in working with 12 potential investors for the sake of getting them involved in the implementation of investment projects in the free economic zone Mogilev with the declared volume of investments close to $285 million. Apart from that, with assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Economy Ministry will continue working to create an automobile components manufacturing zone within the framework of the legislation and the borders of the free economic zone. The work is expected to produce results in 3-4 years," added Andrei Yartsev.
FEZ Mogilev was established in 2002. It comprises 12 areas, with nine of them located in Mogilev and the district and three of them located in district capitals of Mogilev Oblast (Shklov, Osipovichi, and Bobruisk). As many as 40 corporations are among residents of the free economic zone Mogilev, with six of them with a state share. The volume of investments declared as part of investment projects by the resident companies exceeds €1 billion. As many as 32 resident companies are in commercial operation, nine companies are in the pre-investment phase and the construction phase.

The Castleberry ISD Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Team are currently working to provide quality online academic lessons and resources to our students and families during school closures due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
While the closing of schools may have the district working in uncharted territory, we feel that several major initiatives such as our Digital Equity 4 All and the One-to-One Student to Computer Initiative ensures the district will be able to continue educating our students while they are in a safe place at home with their families.
The construction of the third and final student WiFi tower has been accelerated, and it is now fully operational for the start of our remote learning scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 25th, 2020. By bringing the third and final WiFi tower online, the district has the ability to provide safe and filtered Internet to approximately 92% of the students living within the CISD school boundaries. Topology challenges has prevented the district from being able to connect approximately 8% of our students to any of the three WiFi towers. Therefore, the district has acted quickly and ordered WiFi hotspots from AT&T to distribute to students who cannot connect to a district WiFi tower.
Currently, all CISD students enrolled in grades 4th through 12th grades are issued either a Chromebook or a Windows device in which they may take home to complete assigned school work. In addition, this week, the district is preparing Chromebooks for all 2nd and 3rd grade students, so they may utilize at home to complete the remote lessons the district is currently preparing.
Visit the Remote Learning Technical Support page to view the website with information on where students will be able to pick up their school issued computers, routers to connect to the district's WiFi tower, or an AT&T hotspot.
Once the 2nd and 3rd grade computers are prepared for distribution, families with pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and 1st grade students without electronic devices and Internet access will be able to check-out an iPad and router to connect to one of the district's WiFi towers or AT&T hotspot.
Our goal is to ensure all students have access to a quality education whether they are learning at school or while they are learning at home. Please check our website for updates on the dates and times of distribution of electronic devices as we will be updating our remote learning webpages daily.
Thanks for your patience and support as we prepare to provide your student with quality educational lessons and resources, so students can continue learning remotely from home.

By Noel Cadelina
Jesus did not come to make bad people good but to make dead people live. He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.(John 1:29)
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith." (Romans 1:17)
Are you familiar with tracts distributed freely in the school campuses and in the malls back in the 80's and 90's? It's a kind of small comic book which showed how a man lusted after a woman, then died of a heart attack.
In heaven, he saw a big high definition screen showing everyone present a recording of all the sins which he had committed while on earth, including the last one. How embarrassing! Just imagine how everyone will focus their attention in comparing their recorded sins from others while sinking in so much guilt and condemnation! Scary!
Even today, there are some ministers and pastors highlighting this perceived scenario in heaven echoed loudly in the pulpit.
Don't worry, that is not going to happen to you in heaven. There is no big screen with front-row and circle seats for everyone to sit and watch your past sins. There is no video recorder in heaven recording your sins right now. Because your lifetime of sins has already been punished in the body of Jesus, God declares to you, "Your sins and lawless deeds, I will by no means ever remember!"
This is true even for the Old Testament heroes of faith such as Abraham, Moses and David. If you read Hebrews 11, which was written after the cross of Jesus, you will notice that there is no record of their sins or failures. Yet, their life stories tell us that they were far from perfect.
Abraham lied twice about his wife Sarah. He told Pharaoh, and later, King Abimelech, that she was his sister to protect his own life. Moses killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew, and hid the body in the sand. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and later arranged for her husband to be killed in battle. Yet, their sins were not recorded in Hebrews 11, only their deeds done in faith!
God is showing you that He does not record your sins or failures today. Instead, He records your faith confessions and deeds done in response to what His Son has done for you. Every time you sin, every time you waver in your faith, God does not record it. But every time you believe Him and respond in faith, He records it! That should not make you want to sin more. It should free you to love God more!
So don't be conscious of your failures. If God Himself does not remember them, who are you to remember them? Be conscious instead of your righteousness in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21), and you will reign in life (Romans 5:17).
Every time you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ," God the Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become righteous.
Also, by making you righteous, God is showing Himself righteous—"to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:26).
Each time Jesus hears you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ," it brings much pleasure to His heart too, because you are laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you.
The Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (see John 16:10), also rejoices when you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ." He is pleased when you flow with Him.
The delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you declare, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ." The Bible tells us that when you "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).
Whether it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, "all these things" will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness.
You don't need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just need to use your faith for one thing—to believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you seek to come after you and overtake you!
Thanks to Joseph Prince' Daily Grace Inspiration I'm receiving where most of the excerpts were taken.
Folks, be bold in declaring your right standing with God and see His Grace abounding in you. Indeed You are Righteous! Unless you choose otherwise.
God bless you all!
(❚ Noel Cadelina, Minister of Faith in Jesus City Church Winnipeg, 204-228-2146)

Major westcountry agency Wilkinson Grant has told the Advertising Standards Authority it will not re-use wording following a complaint from a small Exeter-based agency.
A regional magazine ad for Wilkinson Grant stated: "Would You Rather Your Property Be Seen By This Many People .. or .. This Many People?" The ad featured, as a comparison, symbols representing four people alongside symbols representing 32 people.
The text of the ad ran: "Undoubtedly, Rightmove is the most powerful online property portal, but there are other platforms out there capable of putting your property in front of even more buyers. A vast number of estate agents choose to market property on Rightmove and via the lesser known property portal OnTheMarket, which we think is bad news for vendors as they will be at a tremendous disadvantage if their property is not listed on Zoopla, the second most visited property portal in the UK*, and Primelocation … We advertise properties on ALL leading online property sites".
Small print linked to the asterisk provided the source for the claim related to Zoopla and further small print stated "Illustration for representation purposes only".
The single-office agency SaleBoards lodged a complaint with the ASA challenging whether the ad misleadingly implied that Wilkinson Grant's properties would be seen by eight times as many people, whether the ad contained sufficient information to allow consumers to verify the 'eight times' claim; and whether the claim "We advertise properties on ALL leading online property sites" was misleading and could be substantiated.
The ASA resolved the issue informally with Wilkinson Grant, which explained that the advertisement in question appeared only once and that similar claims would not appear in any of its future advertising.

The Premier met with Lily Mine residents on Thursday this week and was not happy at the lack of government services.
Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza has committed to build 1000 RDP houses for the Louisville mining community living near the Barberton Lily Mine in an effort to create an opportunity for an employment.
Mabuza visited the area this week (9 Mar) and held a two hour-long meeting with the local community members, where he expressed dissatisfaction about the lack of government services and economic activities.
Speaking during the meeting at the local Thusong Centre, Premier Mabuza committed to build 1000 RDP houses as a start for the community estimated to be around 6000 families, which had relied mainly on working at the mines.
He said the houses would be built until 2019.
The Premier said he wanted the construction of the houses to be done by the local people in order to create employment for them, as unemployment was rife in the area following the closure of two mines.
Mabuza said that he wanted the local people to pave the local roads, do maintenance of the available and dilapidated infrastructure built by the former KaNgwane government, such as clinics and the schools.
The Premier learnt about the plight of the Louisville community after visiting the area following the mine accident last year, which left three workers trapped
underground when a shaft collapsed. He said that he was not happy with the lack services such as water, road, schools and clinics in the area.
He wanted the area to be a proper human settlement with all necessary services.
"We want the people here to live a better life just like anybody else. They should also enjoy the fruits of their freedom.
"We are of course concerned about the issue of the mine; our wish is to improve their lives while we attend to the retrieving the bodies," he said.
"We want the people to be able to have food on the table and to have shelter they will call home while we deal and solve the challenges of Lily Mine.
"We definitely want the mine to open for operations, but at the same time we are committed to changing the lives of the people," said Mabuza.
SEE ALSO: 'We will intervene in Lily Mine' – Mabuza
When asked for assistance to provide space and facilities by the provincial government where local people could conduct their small businesses, the Premier said government would offer them an industrial area and would encourage everyone to utilise it for their businesses.
"Maybe it was God will that we meet like this," Mabuza told the community members, "but the reality of the matter is that now it is your turn to receive the services from government, we are now attending to your problems. Therefore we just cannot sit down, fold our arms and wait for investors from heaven to rescue the mine, we will in the meantime be doing something to change the lives of the people for the better"
"Our main concern is to retrieve the bodies of our beloved, but that would be possible when the mine is in operation.
"The bodies of our beloved ones will be retrieved one day," the Premier said.
He further urged the youth to form the cooperatives saying they should work together and grab the opportunities that the provincial government would avail in the area.
He encouraged the people to consider doing some handwork such as sewing school uniforms for the local schools, and doing agricultural activities.
"I am not going to wait for the investors, I will look for other options for the mine to open, and find the way to recover the bodies of our beloved. We want to insist that the mine must open," said Mabuza.
The Premier also agreed to provide a scholar transport with immediate effect for the local children who were reportedly walking long distances to reach schools.
*Mncwango is spokesman in Mabuza's office.

We can't wait to see what Assange and Wikileaks has next in store for the Clinton campaign.
When asked towards the end of the interview (at the 7:40 mark) why Wikileaks never says anything "bad about Russians", Assange crushes the Fox and Friends host clearly stating…
"That it's false information"
"They [Clinton campaign] cannot attack the substance, they can't attack the evidence we product, they can't attack or analysis, so instead they try and attack us through ad hominem."
"This is just complete garbage."
And once again debunking conclusively the entire "Russia is behind the hacks" narrative.
"Well, I think the most interesting and serious [disclosures] relate to upcoming publications we have."
When asked whether WikiLeaks has information on the Republican campaign he noted that while they do have information its difficult to find anything more controversial on Trump than what comes out of his "mouth every second day."
"The problem with the Trump campaign is it's actually hard for us to publish much more controversial material than what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth every second day."

Kitchen are a vital part of interior design and a living space. It is much more than a place just for cooking. It is a place which needs to be aesthetically pleasing, as many people spend a lot of time in the kitchen. There are several trends this year in terms of kitchen.
Clever, Concealed Storage
Storage is very important in a kitchen, as we already talked about multifunctional furniture were saving space in 2019 is a large trend. The same goes for kitchen, simple space saving and sleek design will get the job done. Maximised and clever storage solutions will be extremely useful as it will give you more space too.
Open Shelving
Open Shelving has been extremely trendy this year so far. It is seen as replacing upper kitchen cabinets, Inspired by hotel and retail spaces, this adds to the overall bold statements many want to make in their homes, forgoing the minimalism that was popular in years past. It is important to stay neat and clean when trying this trend in the kitchen.
We'll continue to see traditional elements and forms in harmony with modern design in 2019. Think honed, natural stone, organic basalt tiles, hand wrapped rattan furniture and vintage-inspired fixtures and lighting. This trend has started developing last year and will keep on going throughout this year.
In conclusion these three are the main kitchen trends of this year. Clever storing is extremely important as it gives you more kitchen space especially if you are in a small space or location. Open Shelving has been a popular trend, but it is important to keep tidy and clean. The vintage vibe trend is still going on and mixes modern with old elements into a perfect balance.

2 . Control the overall situation of each cold occasion at any time, and open and stop the relevant wind cabinets and fan coils at the same time to reduce the heat load of the pits. In reality, the power consumption of the unit and the power consumption at the end can be reduced. .
3 . Diligent inspection. Pay attention to the closure of the outdoor doors and windows, in order to avoid leakage and outdoor hot air. More and more ideas about the construction of the south facing the gate in order to avoid the hot air coming in (due to the summer smoke)
4 . Find out the real situation of all cold use, control the best open, stop time, the more time is the use of chilled water pump to circulate water, the situation of the different systems, the timing of their control is also different.
5 . The change of the temperature of the left card and the change of the cold occasion, the industrial chiller will be opened or closed at the same time, and the operation time of the starter group and the reducer unit will be met, despite the need of air conditioning (with building automation). There are not many air-conditioning systems, and most of the computer rooms are also manually transferred.

Real-time mediation of the operation of the unit, do not wait until the indoor temperature is clear, the heat load is too large to increase the start-up group. It is so easy to damage the settings and increase the energy consumption. After adding the start-up group, it should be noted that when the chilled water return water temperature drops to the required level, immediately close the open unit (including the opposite refrigeration pump, cooling pump, cooling tower fan and its inlet and outlet valves), in order to avoid electricity The waste centrifugal unit should pay more attention to low-load surge.

Parental Rights in Children's Medical Care
Where Is Our FREEDOM to Say No?
A Look at the Injustice of the American Medical System
About the Author:
Shirley Cheng, daughter of Juliet Cheng, was born in 1983, in Albany, New York. Shirley's birth was the beginning of a new world for both mother and daughter. Shirley was diagnosed with severe juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at only eleven months old. Shirley Cheng's life consisted of many years of hospitalization which caused her ability to receive an education a major delay. Shirley did not start her schooling until she was eleven years old. It took her only 180 days to master grade levels in all areas, and was then transferred to a sixth grade class room. When Shirley was seventeen, she lost her eyesight due to the intake of digestive enzymes, even more reason for her to feel like giving up, but it only challenged her to strive higher and higher.
Through Shirley's own words, she inspires many saying, "Although I'm blind, I can see far and wide; even though I'm disabled, I can climb high mountains. Let the ropes of hope haul you high!" Shirley Cheng's self-esteem is truly glowing through her continuous smiles and words as you read her story.
Shirley wrote three books at the age of 20 years old. Winner of eight book awards, here are just a few more achievements that Shirley has managed to earn:
-co-authored a self-improvement book with Jack Canfield & John Gray, Bob Proctor, Alan Cohen and Richard Carlson, entitled "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life, Volume 2"; Author of "The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine", "Dance with Your Heart", "Embrace Ultra-Ability", "Daring Quests of Mystics", "Waking Spirit: Prose and Poems the Spirit Sings" and also Author of the book, "Where Is Our FREEDOM to Say No?".
-is an advocate of parental rights in children's medical care, aide/care giver monitoring and screening for students with special needs and people with disabilities, and world peace.
-tied for 1st place in the second Annual Be the Star You Are!™ national Writing Contest, garnering her a third live appearance on the nationally syndicated radio program, "Be the Star You Are".
-Plans to attending college at Harvard University, where she plans to earn doctorates in microbiology, zoology, astronomy, physiology, and pathology after a successful eye surgery.
Here is another quote from Shirley that will bring you to another sweet side of Shirley Cheng's personality: "I've made it one of my life's missions to touch as many people as I possibly can to bring humor, hope, and healing", says Shirley, whose personal motto is "A dancing heart teaches true".
About the Book:
"Where is Our FREEDOM to Say NO?" was written in order to bring you several true stories of parents who in some cases had their children taken away due to wrongful actions by what we know as our Children's Medical Care System. One of the women that was highly cathartic in Shirley's innate feelings to write this book was her own mother, Juliet Cheng. Shirley Cheng through her own life and almost death experiences due to being taken away as a child has been challenged by injustice and rises to meet this challenge with full force. Through her book, she tells about her own experiences as a child when she was taken away from her mother, not once but twice due to the Medical Laws ignorance and uncaring justice system. Your hearts will certainly be aching as you read the other stories of parents and the continuous and strenuous hurdles that they were forced to overcome due to what the Children's Medical Care System deemed to be what was in the child's best interest! Shirley calls this, "a crime against humanity" and through her uncanny and amazing strength and perseverance she pushes forward toward uncovering injustice and ignorance within our Children's Medical System.
Womensselfesteem.com not only highly recommends this very effective and thorough account of the injustice in our medical system, we also applaud Shirley Cheng for yet another outstanding, inspirational and hard truth read! Once again Shirley pen's her thoughts with her heart and soul as her strength to change the unchangeable flaws in our world of justice! Without Shirley efforts and her inspiration, one can only imagine how many people would still be living with blind-thoughts and no will to keep moving forward. Again Shirley Cheng rises and adds even more inspiration and hope to her readers. Thank you Shirley Cheng for being YOU!

Sharpe, an Online Media and IPTV Pioneer, commented: "All I do is record what exists around me and package it and distribute it... The main credit for the richness of the content is due to the interesting people and activities that are around me!"
Sharpe continued, "As Glendale grows we get more people from all over moving here with new businesses, activities and festivals - Pan you camera (or your eyes) around... it's a fascinating world here!"

- globe is tender
- no blanching of vesels
- classically disturbs sleep
Associated with:
- Rheumatoid
- Wegners
- Polyarteritis
- Sarcoidosis
- Inflammatory Bowel
To tell the difference between episcleritis and scleritis you can put in topical phenylephrine 2.5% which will blanch the vessels in episcleritis but not in scleritis
- commonly picked up when looking at photos – white pupil reflex
- usually when seen in photos it's camera flash reflecting off the optic nerve and nothing to worry about
- Differnetial diagnosis in a child:
- Congenital cataract (sight threatening)
- Congenital ocular toxoplasmosis (sight threatening)
- Retinoblastoma (life threatening)
- 1 in 20,000 risk in the UK
- Almost exclusively found in young children
- 80% 3 year survival if diagnosed before 2yrs and unilateral (less if bilateral or after 2 years)
Retrobulbar Neuritis
Classic triad
- Pain on eye movement
- Loss of colour vision
- No fundal signs
When the lesion is in the nerve head you might see disc swelling but when the lesion is behind the disc fundoscopy will be normal.
Retrobulbar neuritis: the patient sees nothing, the doctor sees nothing.
Retinal detachment
- Sensory and pigment separate
- Time critical ophthalmic emergency
- Floaters
- Grey curtain or veil moving across visual field
- Sudden decrease in vision
- Congenital malformations
- Metabolic disorders
- Trauma – including eye surgery
- Vascular disease
- High myopia
- Vitreous Disease & degeneration
- Swelling or odema of the conjunctiva
- Usually due to excess rubbing
- Often caused by allergies or viral infections
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
- Sudden painless vision loss in one eye
- Occlusion usually caused by an atherothrombitic embolus.
- Causes pallor of disc and retina
- Cherry red spot at the macula – this is actually macula sparing as the macula receives branches from the post-cillary artery.
Central Retinal Vein Occlusion
- different presentations but most commonly blurred vision
- on fundoscopy there's vascular dilation, tortuosity of vessels and vascular dilation, and arc of haemorrhage like the trail left behind a cartoon shooting star
Age related macula degeneration
- Commonest cause of blindness in the UK
- Degeneration of central vision
- Presence of drusen (multiple yellow dots pictured below) precedes ARMD picture
- Thats drusen – above those little white dudes,
- That preceeds the appearance of pigment, exudate and bleeding at the macula
Chronic Open Angle Glaucoma
- Scotoma (partial alteration of the visual field) near the blind spot
- Then nasal and superior fields are lost
- cupping of the disc and nasalation of the arteries
Diabetic Retinopathy
Kayser-Fleisher Rings
- Deposition of copper in the periphery of the iris
- Associated with Wilson's disease (autosomal recessive) – abnormal copper metabolism
Argyll-Robertson Pupil

- Pupil accomodates but does not react to light
- Classically associated with syphillis
Holmes-Aide Pupil
- Reacts slowly to light and on convergence
- Unilateral in 80%
- Associated with absent ankle and knee reflexes
- More information here: Uveitis / Iritis
- Uveitis is uveal tract

What is a touch and type laptop and why would your kids want to use one? A touch and type laptop allows you to input information by either touching the screen or typing on a keyboard. The Lenovo IdeaPad Z500 Touch is a touch and type laptop. Lenovo sent me the IdeaPad Z500 Touch for review. Affiliate links within post.
I found that my kids have no problems getting acquainted with a touch and type PC. The first time they had a touch screen PC, they knew exactly what to do. It was very natural for them and I've found they prefer the touch screen to typing on the keyboard.
Touch and Type Games for Kids
I asked my kids to sit down in front of my IdeaPad Z500 touch and type laptop and find games they wanted to play. My 9-year-old daughter and her friend immediately started looking for games where they could draw and photo apps.
She said that playing the drawing games using a mouse is not a lot of fun, but playing those drawing games using your finger on the touch screen is a lot of fun. It feels more like you are really drawing. Megan also enjoyed finding photos and drawing on them.
Favorite Touch Screen Games for Kids
Crayola Photo Mix & Mash – You can either draw on photos or create your own drawings. Either way, she loves this app because the tools are very different. You can create a sky with sparkling stars or add sunglasses to a photo. Lots of options. It's free to download, but has more options you can buy.
Angry Birds Star Wars – This game is $3.49, but Megan says it is a lot more fun to play on the big touch screen than on her small phone. I have to admit I prefer playing it on the larger Z500 15.6″ inch screen too.
ScribbleMix from Disney – This is a free download and you are given a phrase and you have to try to draw whatever the phrase is. Megan had one that was "Spok on a shark." The other person you are playing with sees you draw and has to guess what you are drawing. There are different levels of difficulty so kids of all ages can play.
Disney Infinity Action! – Both of my kids (and me) have fun with this one. you can create movies and you can be in the movie too. There are several of the Disney characters and props to use in the movies. They have fun just watching the animations of the different characters and being creative with the movies.
All of the above games are much easier to play on a touch screen. We have both touch and type PCs in the house and they always gravitate to the touch screen PCs to play these games. Now that they have used the touch screen on the Ideapad Z500 for some time, they prefer the touch screen over typing.
Disclosure: I was sent the Lenovo Ideapad Z500 touch and type laptop for review of the touch screen device. I am also a Lenovo Influencer. All opinions are 100% my own. Affiliate links within post.
What are your favorite touch screen games?

Annalisa was really easy to talk to, my husband and I were really quite nervous to go to couples counseling, not knowing what to expect. But we were so relieved that it was very relaxing, a private setting, and she helped us with great advice. We liked that she didn't make either of us feel judged or wrong, but taught us how to communicate so we both feel heard. She shared some simple ways that we could reconnect romantically, and at each session, we left feeling better, and more positive about working on our relationship! ~ Darryl & Betsy J.
I was so apprehensive about getting therapy for my depression and anxiety. I really didn't think seeing someone was going to help, much less -a life coach who wasn't even going to prescribe meds! But after the first 30 minutes or so, of talking to Annalisa, she made me feel comfortable opening up about my problems, and just seeing her, like, 3 times, I was able to implement the ideas she gave me, and they have made a huge difference in my progress. I am so glad I found her! ~ Anita's G.
Job hunting really sucks. I took a chance, and did a DISCOVER YOUR CALLING session with Life Coach Annalisa. The results were amazing. We determined that in order for me to feel passionate about my work, I should be choosing a job that fits my personality type and includes my top interests. In addition, we determined my spiritual gifts, and then narrowed down the most supportive and best roles I would thrive in. This session and test results help me find clarity for the 'type' jobs, job settings, and work environment I should pursue to feel the most creative, be challenged, but really enjoy going to work each day!! Thanks Annalisa, you rock! ~ Greg S.
Going through a divorce is the worst! I highly recommend Life Coaching to get you through it, especially if cheating is an issue!! Life Coach Annalisa was the best! She never just abruptly stops a session when an hour has passed (and you won't believe how fast the time goes!) She allowed me to share all my thoughts, ask plenty of questions, and helped me understand the 'root' of the problems, and advised how to best move forward and look ahead in a positive way toward change, patience, and best off, I learned better ways to communicate with my partner. She brought up points and perspectives that were helpful for me, and eased my anxiety over everything by sharing great advice through the process of a very bad marriage. I would definitely recomend her!! ~ Karl M.

I've been blogging for several years now. I'm not a perfect blogger. After several years of practice and conversations the subject I'd like to share my experience.
For bloggers, time is an important matter. Some subjects need to be posted fast to avoid being outdated. Other subjects, on the contrary, have fewer constraints and can be refined and polished a few months after their first draft.
I know some bloggers who adopt a schedule for their posts. Some of them try to keep with the one post a week. Others, like David Gageot posted every day for a year.
Personally, I try to blog every month or so. I do so to keep up the rhythm, but I mostly need inspiration for it.
Inspiration is key to blogging. I have a ton of ideas, but not enough time to write about them. Usually, when I get an idea, I draft a post with title and a brief summary. Then I let it cool down a bit. Later on, I can delete the post if it was not such a good idea after all. I keep only the best ideas at the time of writing and get to work on the most inspiring subject of the moment.
Some think that writing blogs should consist of writing quickly, with no regards to grammar and syntax. Writing blogs should not rely solely on formatting such as bold fonts or underline to make a point. Professional writing should have formal tone, one that can be understood by people for whom English is not their native tongue. It avoids ambiguity, sarcasm and second degree altogether.
A key thing about writing a blog is the audience. Focussing on the audience can sometimes bridle and author. Stop thinking about who will read a post and write for yourself. This post, for example, is an excellent way to organize my thoughts on such a subject and can also serve as a reference for my future posts.
A post will be written once but read (hopefully) more than once, so make your post readable. Use concise sentences, using formatting like titles, bold, italic, and even images. Don't hesitate to make small paragraphs so as to not frighten your readers.
Reread yourself once, but remember that good is better than perfect, so no need to spend too much time fixing every sentence. Use your time and thoughts for writing yet another blog post.
Keeping it small
While some blog posts can serve as a reference to many readers, know that the vast majority of your readers will dedicate a few minutes to reading a blog post. Keeping it small is also a sure path to loyal readers.
There is much more to say about this subject, but these are my main ideas when it comes to writing blogs. I try to live by these rules as most as I can. Feel free to share your thoughts in comments below.

What would you do with £1000? Read more about our employees' successful candidate referral stories!
Here at FLEETCOR, our candidate referral scheme is designed to reward our current employees for introducing even more talented people to join the company. Our employees can refer a friend, a family member or somebody they used to work with for a permanent vacancy at FLEETCOR. In return, they'll receive £1000 tax free! Take a look at what some of our employees, who have took part in the scheme, have to say.
Josh Parker
The process of referring a friend was very simple! All I had to do was fill in a referral form to the recruitment team and they called my friend the same day for a telephone interview. I've always mentioned to my friends that they would enjoy working at FLEETCOR, so when I looked into the scheme, I knew I had to get as many of them involved as I could. Plus, the £1000 incentive was a nice bonus!
So far, I have referred three of my friends to FLEETCOR; 2 of which have been successfully recruited! All of them have a strong background in sales, so I thought that they would fit in well with the company. I've worked with them before at other companies and enjoy the natural competition we have between us!
I'll be receiving £2000 in a few weeks for my successful referrals! I've been saving up to purchase my first home, which is really exciting! Originally, saving money for my deposit was going to be a bit tight and I wasn't going to have a lot of money left over to my furnish my flat. But now that I've taken part in the scheme, I can buy the things I need to make my flat homely!
"I'm so glad I took advantage of the candidate referral scheme! I've never heard of a company giving such a generous reward for referral schemes; when I told my family about it, they were amazed! Because of the success I've had, I'm planning on referring more people in the future!".
Trudy Herbert
I decided to refer my daughter, as I thought she would be great in a customer services role.
"I also wanted her to join FLEETCOR, as they offer very good employee benefits - such as a personal pension scheme, private healthcare, dental plan, childcare vouchers and more – and a stable career".
Isy has worked at FLEETCOR for nearly 3 months now. She works in the contact centre, answering inbound customer calls and emails; she's really enjoying it. Although we can see each other from our desks, we don't spend too much time together as we're both quite busy, but we enjoy our journeys to and from work together. Any time spent with her is precious and I love working in the same office as her! We're not just mother and daughter, we're best friends too!
I think the candidate referral scheme is great; the process is very simple and I personally don't know anywhere else that offers an incentive this large. I'm putting the money I received towards a new king-size bed, which I've been wanting for a while now!
Laura Mundy
The TFCC Account Management team really needed support and a new team member. I knew that my friend would be perfect for the role, as she's very adaptable and a fast learner, which was crucial. In order to refer her, all I had to do was fill in a form, entering my email address and my friend's email address; it was that simple!
My friend was successfully recruited and I received £1,000. Because the process was so easy to do, I ended up referring another friend who was looking for work in sales and received another £1,000! I'm currently putting the money towards buying a new house!
"I would 100% recommend that employees take advantage of the scheme, as who doesn't want to be £1,000 richer, just by filling in a simple form?!"
Fancy earning yourself an extra £1000?

The workers, who are employed in a variety of positions throughout the base, achieved wage increases of between 1.5 and 2.95 per cent on all rates and classifications. Layoff and recall language has been improved to 12 months, up from the previous nine.
New language ensures that Stewards receive a copy of the schedule(s) and time to meet with new hires. The employer also agrees to notify the Union of any Return to Work (RTW) or WSIB meetings in advance of those meetings.
Family leave improves to provide one paid day for part-time and five paid days for full-time. In addition, the definition of family leave has been expanded to make it more flexible for members. Bereavement leave language also improves to include paid leave based on individual circumstances.
Vacation entitlement will now provide 6 per cent pay for those with two to seven years of service, instead of the previous three to seven years. Scheduling will now include a winter and summer schedule.
Those workers unable to return to work due to a spouse being transferred or posted to another base will not have to repay the top-up allowance.
Union Negotiating Committee: Amy Dawson, Kathy McGrath, Barbara Wood and Union Rep Marilyn Lang.

After completing our initial support-raising in 2013, we began serving full time with FamilyLife in the Advisor Department where we came alongside Pastors and church leaders to provide expert guidance on hosting marriage events and small groups within their church and community. Late in 2015, Bob was invited to change departments to work directly with Weekend to Remember and lead a team of Ministry Representatives as North Central Division Manager.
In the summer of 2018, Bob was asked to step up into the seat of National Director - providing leadership to the manager team for all 93 Weekend to Remember events! Bob has five managers reporting to him with more than 50 staff in the department (team photo below, Bob in near left in Husker RED/WHITE, of course :). The top priority will be to shepherd well with vision, passion, compassion and purpose in every step. There is also a high level of engagement and collaboration with numerous other departmental leaders. Pam continues to work alongside Bob with direct responsibility for one event (Delray Beach), while still helping with the Nebraska events and assisting in the growth of some department-wide efforts.
Our ministry has grown over the years and it is both exciting and humbling to watch how God has blessed and guided the work of our hands for His glory!
For this kind of diligent, consistent and faithful work, Philippians 2:1-2 provides a beautiful path for working together: "Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose."

The History of Mole Valley Farmers
Mole Valley Farmers was started in 1960 by a small group of farmers around South Molton who were concerned by the discriminatory practices and the large margins being taken by many of their input suppliers.
Over the years, the company has made investment in:
- Ten stores (inc Redruth Farm Select) in the south west supplying a vast range of goods to farmers and the public alike. These range from farm requirements to clothing, footwear, garden supplies, pet food and accessories, domestic goods and power tools.
- Five feed mills for all animal feeds, producing compounds, blends, meals and mixes.
- A specialist feed supplement mineral plant.
- A quality farm building engineering division.
- Moleenergy - providing impartial renewable energy solutions.
- Mole Country Stores located across East Anglia, East Midlands, North East England and South East England including the current rebranding of our SCATS Countrystores.
- Development of Molecare Veterinary Services.
- Mole Valley Plus, a member benefits service providing a range of products including fuel, aggregates, concrete, tyres and hire tools.
Everyone is welcome to shop at Mole Valley Farmers branches. We also offer the option of Membership which brings added benefits such as our monthly Newsletter and discounts on certain products. Find more information about the added benefits of Membership.
Under the guidance of the Board of Directors, all of whom derive their main source of income from farming, the day to day running of the company is the responsibility of a senior management team. The company continues to grow and flourish.

Former weight: 234 pounds
Current weight: 132 pounds
Pounds lost: 102 pounds
Height: 5 feet 7 inches
How long she's kept it off: She started in August 2008 and reached her current weight in April 2009.
Personal life: "I live in Lawrenceville with my family — mom, dad and two sisters, but I go to school at the University of Alabama." She is majoring in fashion merchandising.
Turning point: "When I left for college in August of 2008, I was so nervous that I was going to gain the freshman 15. So by eating better and walking around campus, I slowly started losing weight," she says. "When I came home for Labor Day weekend, my parents told me they could tell I had lost a few pounds. I couldn't believe it, so I immediately hit the gym and continued eating healthy."
Diet plan: "I didn't have any special diet plan — I just watched what I ate, and ate smaller portions," she says. "If I want ice cream, I'll eat ice cream — I just don't eat as much as I used to eat of it. I also counted calories just to make sure I was consuming enough food throughout the day. I discovered how amazing fruits, veggies, and seafood are too."
Exercise routine: "I do cardio for an hour 5 to 6 days out of the week. I'm starting to do weights," she says. She runs 5 miles almost daily and has started taking Pilates classes.
Biggest challenge: "Losing all the weight I have lost has been the biggest challenge," she says. "Now I have to deal with a completely different person; it is life-changing." She says some have responded negatively to her weight loss but she finds their negativity only makes her stronger and more appreciative of her supportive family and friends.
How life has changed: "The best part about losing weight is that I am so much [happier] than I used to be," she says. She has more energy and confidence in herself. She finished her first semester of college with a 3.9 grade point average. "I actually feel like I am [smarter] than I used to be," she says.

text: I am wondering if we are with TROS seeing the end of the 3.75in Star Wars figure line? There is no direct line release of these figures, the only ones out are in the more expensive TVC line and the push seems to be 4in, 5in and 6in figures. Am I missing something or is this the case?

With the majority of Stockhouse community focused primarily on TSX listed issuers, I thought it would be interesting to compare the number of google searches for the website and compare it against the TSX Composite Index.
When the Canadian markets are in good spirits and the market is appreciating, I suspected that one would observe an influx of searches to the website as this is one of the foremost forums on TSX/TSXV stocks. In the context of a poster on the bullboards during bullish markets, the odds would be greater that my bullish post for a particular TSX/TSXV issue will turn out to be correct versus making the same post during a bear market.
If we assume that the poster is aware of this, then we should expect to see an increase in google searches for "Stockhouse" and thus website traffic during bullish periods. Alternatively, we would expect to see a drop off in searches for the term during bearish periods.
So I ran a query on "Stockhouse" over the period 2004 – 2015 isolating only Canadian searches and compared this to the daily close price for the TSX Composite index for the same period. It appears that a relationship does exist although there are periods where it breaks down, particularly during March 2009 till July 2010 and then again during March till November 2013.

It seems every day with twins is a mix of trials and triumphs. Certainly the triumphs...the joy, the smiles, and the laughter...far outweigh the trials. And another thing that's for certain is that it's ALWAYS interesting.

Super 6 Saturday
Lots of super [and fabulous] stuff to report...
1) For the second weekend in a row, we visited the farmer's market on Saturday morning, and then ate a late breakfast (a mid-morning snack for the girls) at Panera. We saw a number of the same people there that we'd seen the week prior, including several children. The girls made the rounds before we left, waving to their "friends" and telling them to "have a good day!"
2) Saturday night we went to a birthday party for our twin friends who live in our neighborhood. The girls had a great time playing with some of their friends, and it was so nice that they ate like champs! I remember the party from last year…we fed the girls at home before we went. It's so freeing to be able to walk out the door with nothing in hand but a birthday present.
3) On Sunday, we went to a reception for "Aunt" Karen's little sis, who just graduated from medical school (go, Sarina!!!). My sweet babies acted like little ladies! Granted, we didn't stay long – I didn't want to push my luck! – but we had a great time, and so did they.
4) I'd gotten the girls dressed to go to the birthday party on Saturday, and I wanted to make their picture. I was trying to bribe them to stand next to each other. Unprompted, Baby A lunged at Baby B, gave her a big hug, and said, "We're family!"
5) The girls have been playing "birthday party" all week. We have sung countless renditions of the "Happy Birthday song". They always make a gift to take the birthday girl / dog / bear…usually a Megablock structure of some sort, but occasionally they'll branch out and offer a specific stack of books. I love that they are understanding the concept of gift-giving…and I've been trying to emphasize how special it is to make a gift (even a lopsided block tower).
6) Daddy cut the grass on Friday afternoon. Although we'd had similar exchanges before, it had been a while…unprompted, the girls each told Daddy "The grass is very pretty…thank you," when he came inside. I think it made his toil and trouble worth it.
And a quick update on the Potty-capades…
…Baby A used the potty away from home for the first time this week! We were at the birthday party (at my friend's house) on Saturday when she told me she needed to go. No problem…she handled it like a champ!
…I asked Baby B last weekend when she was going to start making tee-tee and stinkies on the potty (as she still just sits several times a day). Very matter-of-factly, she said, "Tuesday." Several days later I realized I hadn't asked her to specify which Tuesday…I'll know better next time. HA!

Yay! So glad you are having potty training success! My Acacia is FINALLY starting to go at home and I am just beside myself with joy over it! She knows she has to be able to "use the potty all day" before she can be in mommy's pre-k class in the fall. :)

Sounds like so much fun! My guys LOVE to sing Happy Birthday and play birthday party with their stuffed toys and dolls. Tiny got a pretend play birthday set for her birthday. It includes a cake, serving knife, little plates, forks, napkins, and a little box that looks like a present with a bow on top. The box opens, so they can put little pretend presents inside. It's so cute to see them get all excited to celebrate a pretend birthday. :o)

On our last day in Portrush, we went out to find some keepsakes that would remind us about this town. We spent about an hour in souvenir shops, which were filled with different items, but nothing caught our eye. Having decided that it was not a good day for shopping, we headed to the east side beach for one last stroll. The wind was very strong and white waves crashed on the sandy beach. Surfers, dressed in wetsuits, were riding waves in an icy cold sea with admirable cheer and enthusiasm.
This beach is a favorite amongst locals for taking walks, playing with dogs and enjoying the scenery. A crescent bay, waves chased by the wind and a chain of small islands close by, make for an unforgettable view. We picked up a few pretty sea shells as souvenirs from the Antrim coast.
Suddenly we saw a group of horseback riders racing towards us along the waterfront. The horses were almost hovering over the wet sand in a vigorous race, leaving deep footprints behind. Their race was a display of strength, determination and energy. We stepped aside to catch a glimpse of these gorgeous animals. The horseback riders passed us swiftly.
What can be better than a romantic walk towards the endless horizon on the beach, watching the wind blowing spray off the tops of white crested waves, and facing the salty breeze of the sea? We picked the last interesting sea shell and headed back to the hotel.
When we returned we decided to wash the sand from the shells that we picked up on the beach. Most of them were white, with beige and brown patterns except for one shell, which was almost black. To our surprise a black little head with two little horns popped up from the dark shell. It was a sea snail. It turned its tiny head from side to side and began to crawl quickly on the surface of the sink, carrying its shell on its back. It was probably just as surprised we were. We decided to bring the sea snail back to the sea, so we took another trip to the beach. We left the snail where we found it, which was on the edge of the shore. Bye-bye and happy sailing little snail!
