Earl Q. Blevins, Jr.
10-12-51 to 6-19-19
Earl came to the Pacific Northwest in 1981 – with a few things and his Australian Shepard, Tomkin - in what was to be a temporary move. Lucky for us, he landed here, fell in love with Bainbridge Island and stayed. Earl was born and raised in Louisville, KY, the oldest of six children to Earl Sr. and Edith Blevins. He and his brothers learned the art of welding from their father. Earl worked alongside his father, then built his own welding and metal works business when he came to Bainbridge. All of his work was custom design and you'll find most of it on the island. How he built a perfect spiral staircase from just a few measurements on a scrap of paper always seemed like a bit of a miracle. Earl met his wife Linda in Seattle and they married in 1985. They built their home in Eagledale where Earl transformed rough land into the place where he most spent his time and creative energy. While the business, the home, and the beautiful property were all much loved by Earl, his biggest and best accomplishment was his two children Morgan and Quentin. He was so proud - and marveled at his good fortune in having such a family. Earl is survived by his wife Linda and daughter Morgan, his two brothers – Matt and Paul - and three sisters – Candace (Mobley), Penny (Monroe), Melissa (Raines) - and their families, Linda's family and many friends. We know that Earl would not want his friends to think of him with sadness, but would prefer some classic rock n' roll and a bourbon toast. In that light, the family will be hosting a celebration of life in Earl's honor at his home – his sanctuary - on Bainbridge Island, July 10th from 6-8pm.

Five ways to prime your RRSP for the home stretch
If you and your spouse are getting close to retirement, it's important to review your asset mix and planned contributions in relation to your specific retirement objectives. What steps do you need to take now in order to meet your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) targets in the homestretch?
If you are very close to retirement, you may want to begin shifting the emphasis in your RRSP from long-term growth to more conservative investments.
If you haven't already done so, this may also be the time to start consolidating multiple RRSPs you may have into a single plan, which will simplify things when you are required to close out.
If you're not quite where you wanted to be in relation to your savings target, a few timely adjustments will help you get your RRSP back on track. If you haven't been maximizing contributions, take action now to boost current and future contributions. Use the years remaining before retirement to catch up on unused contribution room.
Explore your savings options – if you can't find the extra income to add to your RRSP now, you may want to consider taking out an RRSP loan or line of credit to help beef up your portfolio and maximize on the tax savings provided by the RRSP while you are still earning regular income.
Depending on your risk tolerance and time horizon (that is, the number of years left before retirement), you may also want to consider increasing the level of growth-oriented equities in your plan, to boost potential performance.
This is also the time to make sure you are taking full advantage of spousal RRSPs. If you and your spouse expect to have very different incomes in retirement, consider starting or adding to a spousal RRSP to help equalize your incomes and reduce taxes after you retire.
Most importantly, you should take the time to review your current portfolio to ensure your savings plan is on track and will see you through to retirement and beyond. Your BlueShore Financial financial advisor can help you create a investment/retirement plan to help maximize the last years before retirement.

What are the template guidelines?
We have guidelines to ensure that templates can be properly used within Creatlr.
Upload an image with dimensions 1750x1050, 2100x1260, 2800x1680 or 3500x2100. This size gives the best result on Full-HD screens and PDF export features for Premium users.
Why isn't it possible to automatically slice the header and footer?
We can't. Every template has different headers, footers and sizes. It's impossible for us to do this automatically.
Another reason is to stimulate toolkit designers to optimize their template designs for online use. Tablet, laptop and PC screens are usually smaller compared to a printed A0 - A3 template. It's good practice to see if an online template should be optimized.
What file types can I upload at templates and card decks?
The brainstorm area will be used in the online workshop environment. You can upload the following filetypes:
The downloadable template needs to be uploaded in PDF format.

Your home's plumbing system is one example of something that should be mostly silent. Other than the flushing of the toilet and the sound of water coming from your faucets, you shouldn't ever hear noises coming from the plumbing. However, that's often not the case for many homeowners. Noises from your plumbing can sound funny and sometimes alarming, but either way, you should contact a plumber in Roswell, GA, to make sure there's no problem. Here are some of the common sounds you might hear.
Hard Knocking
Sometimes, when you turn off the faucet, you may hear a hard knock or the sound of a hammer hitting something in your pipes. Usually this happens because there's been a shift in pressure in the system. So, if you're working on your plumbing and have to turn off the water for any amount of time, you may get this sound when you turn on the faucet again after turning the water back on.
This "water hammer" noise as it's often described, occurs as the plumbing system catches up to supply pressure to the fixtures again. The good news is that a plumber usually doesn't have to come out and resolve this issue for you, unless it continues to happen. Usually the noise will stop as the water pressure gets regulated again, so feel free to use your plumbing as normal.
Whistling Sound
If you hear a whistling sound, you should call a plumber to find out the source of the noise. This usually means you have a washer somewhere in your pipes that has worn out. You may be able to track down the source yourself but unless you're an experienced plumber, it may be more difficult for you to identify where it's coming from and even more difficult to do anything about it on your own.
Rattling Noise
If you hear a rattling noise coming from your plumbing, this is usually because your water pipes are not secured. Essentially the force of the water moving through the pipes is causing them to vibrate. Although not too serious an issue, you may want to have a plumber come to your home and make sure all the plumbing is secured to a rigid surface.
The plumbing in your house should be mostly silent, but if it's not, the noises may be signs of a more serious problem. Make sure you're alert to what's going on with your plumbing and contact a licensed 24/7 plumber service in Roswell, GA, to make sure that the issue isn't bigger than you thought.

Virginia Utermohlen. Encyclopedia of Food and Culture. Editor: Solomon H Katz. Volume 1. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 2003.
Anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) are three of a spectrum of conditions, commonly known as eating disorders, associated with abnormal eating patterns and a desire to be thin. The abnormal eating patterns in these eating disorders include restriction of food intake, binge eating, and purging with laxatives or by self-induced vomiting. Persons with each of these disorders may go through periods of restriction, binge eating with purging, and binge eating without purging.
The term "eating disorders" for these conditions is both correct and misleading. These disorders center around issues of eating, or, to be more exact, food consumption, and certainly can be qualified as disorders, but more than eating is disordered in these conditions: they are associated with a complex of psychological, physiological, neurological, and hormonal changes, which may be due to the disease itself, or to the changes in weight associated with inappropriate food intakes and energy outputs, or both together.
The notion that thinness is desirable, particularly in women, and that one can never be "too rich or too thin," now permeates Western societies and is becoming increasingly common elsewhere. Teenagers, who are normally preoccupied with body image, and prone to be concerned about gaining weight, may incorrectly perceive themselves as being overweight, because puberty coincides with marked changes in body shape and, for girls, increased body fat content with fat deposition in the hips. Surveys in Western countries have shown that at any one time, up to two-thirds of female high school students either are on a weight loss diet or were on one in the recent past. In the United States, eating disorders seem to be less common among African-American and Asian females than among white females, equally common among Latina females, and surprisingly common among Native Americans. Japan seems to be the country with the highest prevalence of eating disorders. Other countries seem to be catching up, wherever there is access to food and to Western modes of behavior, as exemplified in the media.
Psychological conditions associated with eating disorders include depression, affecting 50–75 percent of people with eating problems; bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness, 4–15 percent); obsessive-compulsive disorder, affecting as many as 25 percent of people with AN, fewer in those with BN; substance abuse, in up to one-third of patients with BN; and personality disorders, particularly avoidant, in other words, mistrusting, personality. Twenty to fifty percent of patients with BN (and to a lesser extent patients with AN and other eating disorders) have experienced sexual abuse.
A syndrome called "the female athlete triad"—consisting of disordered eating, amenorrhea (disruption of menses), and osteoporosis—is becoming more common as athletic prowess has become desirable for women and as women have better access to athletic facilities in the United States because of Title IX of the Educational Assistance Act (1974). Patients with Type I diabetes mellitus appear to be more prone than the general population to eating disorders, and may use underdosing with insulin to lose weight—when they do not take enough insulin, the body fails to use and store the calories they eat and relies on breakdown of fat and muscle for fuel.
Patients with eating disorders may become parents, may have difficulties nurturing their own children, and may transmit disordered attitudes toward eating to their children. The health care team should take these difficulties into account in treatment plans for both parent and child.
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) represents an extreme version of the desire for thinness. The term "anorexia" is a misnomer, for a person with this condition does have an appetite, but restricts food intake and denies the desire to eat with the apparent aim of having precise control over body shape and weight. Perhaps the German Pubertätmagersucht—"seeking thinness at puberty"—is a more accurate term, although the disorder has antecedents in childhood and continues into adulthood.
Epidemiology. In the United States, nearly 90 percent of patients with overt, clinically recognized AN are females between the ages of twelve and twenty-three, although younger and older patients as well as males may also develop the disease. The prevalence of AN appeared to rise during the twentieth century, with a lifetime risk among women of 0.5 percent to 3.7 percent and a male to female prevalence ratio between 1 to 6 and 1 to 10. The prevalence among young adolescent males is higher, perhaps reflecting a secular trend or an increasing emphasis on male appearance and "fitness."
The only groups among whom the disease has been recognized are groups who have easy access to food, and among whom being thin is a socially desirable state. However, conditions clinically indistinguishable from AN have existed in Western cultures prior to the twentieth century, particularly during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, when they were associated with religious asceticism—the professed goal was to demonstrate the person's ability to deny the needs and pleasures of the flesh, rather than to be thin for social acceptance. Similar conditions associated with religious practices also occur in other cultures.
Etiology. Scientific opinion concerning the etiology of AN has vacillated between a biological and genetic explanation and a sociopsychological one. The patient's complaints lie in the psychological realm, while the disease presents features that point to biological and genetic components. There is a significantly higher concordance of anorexia nervosa among monozygotic twins (identical, that is, having the same genes) than among dizygotic twins (fraternal, that is, genetically only as close as a non-twin sibling). Family members have a higher than expected prevalence of other affective (emotional) and addictive disorders.
A host of neurohormonal changes appear once starvation has set in, but it is unclear which of these changes are causal, which are due to progression of the disease, and which are due to semistarvation. A reasonable explanation for the condition is that the person first restrains eating or performs excessive exercise for psychosocial reasons, and then develops a biologically driven self-perpetuating condition.
Development, signs, symptoms and biological findings. Anorexia nervosa develops in three phases, often preceded by picky eating and digestive problems in childhood. In Phase I the patient develops an increased consciousness about physical appearance, coupled with a loss of self-esteem, and begins dieting and exercising to lose weight. While these beliefs and behaviors have become increasingly the norm among adolescent women in developed countries, in certain people it progresses to Phase II.
During Phase II (frank AN) the person develops an "anorectic attitude": an unreasonable fear of eating coupled with pride in the ability to loss weight. Restriction of food intake begins with "fattening," "dangerous" foods such as carbohydrates and fats, while other foods, particularly vegetables, are viewed as "safe." In an effort to rationalize their restrictions, patients may develop a sophisticated fund of nutritional knowledge. They may delude parents or other caretakers into believing that they are eating when in fact food may be hidden or vomited up. Patients may also become obsessed with preparing foods, which they then refuse to eat. Some patients may have episodes of binge eating with or without purging in addition to restriction. Patients with this form of anorexia nervosa are more likely to be depressed, suicidal, and self-harming.
Patients may persist in the belief that they are eating a lot when in fact they eat very little. Sensations of hunger and satiety are impaired, with the result that these two states become confused. Further, delayed gastric emptying due to developing malnutrition may contribute to the perception of fullness after consumption of only small amounts of food. Eventually the person may reject all or nearly all foods.
The "anorectic attitude" may be self-amplifying, in that starvation itself may lead to abnormal attitudes towards food. Semistarved persons who are otherwise in good health also develop an obsession with food, linger for hours over a meal, and may feel that once they start eating, they will not be able to stop. For persons with AN, the thought that they may not be able to stop may be a terrifying prospect, confirming their worst fears about their inability to control their appetite.
The types of food that a person with AN likes appear to be normal when ascertained by questionnaire; however, a dislike for high-fat and low-carbohydrate foods is revealed. Taste testing suggests that persons with AN have an abnormally high preference for highly sweet tastes, coupled with a dislike of fatty foods. In this phase, the person may use laxatives and enemas, in the belief that these procedures will prevent absorption of ingested food, and also because anorexics may judge themselves to be constipated since the severely reduced food intake leads to formation of smaller than normal amounts of feces. Laxatives and starvation-induced changes in gut motility lead to both constipation and complaints of abdominal pain. Patients may abuse diuretics in an attempt to lose weight, although their effect is confined to water weight loss.
Patients may participate in extreme physical activity, preferably carried out alone, although it may be expressed in organized group activities such as ballet or athletic performance. This physical hyperactivity is in direct contrast to the inactivity seen in starving subjects without AN.
Depression, anxiety, obsessional traits, perfectionism, and rigidity in thinking are all found in patients in Phase II of AN. The states are often associated with social isolation.
During Phase II, nutritional status may deteriorate steadily, and if untreated, patients may not enter the recovery phase, Phase III. Death may occur from cardiovascular collapse due to starvation and electrolyte imbalance, or due to too rapid refeeding, as well as suicide. As many as 5 percent of patients may die of AN in the acute phase, and 20 percent on long-term follow-up—the highest mortality rate for a psychiatric condition.
Phase III of this disease, which is attained only with difficulty, and in some cases not at all, is the acknowledgment by the patients that they have starved themselves, and need treatment, coupled with success at alleviating the signs and symptoms of the disease.
Management. The management of anorexia nervosa is complex, requiring a concerted effort on the part of the health care team, including physician, nurse, nutritionist, social worker, and psychologist, as well as the patient and his or her family. Because patients are capable of maintaining a state of denial, it is very difficult to engage the patient into the care process. Often the patient has to be in a state of collapse before intervention is even tolerated. Indications for hospitalization are weight loss below 40 percent of normal weight; orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing); electrolyte (sodium, potassium) imbalance; dehydration; hypoglycemia (low blood sugar); infection; and marked family disturbance.
Treatment involves refeeding and psychological rehabilitation. Refeeding is critical for all patients whose weight is 85 percent or less of that expected. Depending on the severity of the patient's malnutrition, feeding may occur in the hospital, in a clinic setting, or at home. The patient should be hospitalized well before collapse is imminent. Feeding may be oral, naso-gastric, or via intravenous lines. Oral feeding is preferred but some patients may only permit refeeding if it is through a naso-gastric tube, and thus beyond their control. Intravenous feedings may be required if cardiovascular collapse is imminent. No special diets are needed, although concentrated foods may be useful in attaining adequate caloric intakes, and vitamin and mineral supplements are required. Refeeding must be slow, and performed under close medical monitoring, lest the patient develop edema and increased circulating blood volume, which can lead to electrolyte imbalances, anemia, and cardiovascular collapse. Other fatal complications of rapid refeeding include acute stomach or large bowel dilatation. Treatment protocols may also include restriction of exercise, in order to prevent the patient from exercising away the calories. Some patients are adept at finding ways to increase physical activity in the face of exercise restriction, and some patients may become severely agitated when denied the right to exercise.
Psychological treatment varies by health care team and may combine individual, family, and group therapy. Drug therapy may be used, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), especially in patients who have regained weight but still are depressed or have obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
The ideal of clinical improvement consists of a return to 90 percent of normal weight, the resumption or initiation of menses in women, normalization of eating patterns, as well as the development of a mature, self-confident outlook, with a normal body image. Few patients attain this ideal. However, the short-term prognosis with respect to weight gain, return of menses, and improvement in outlook is usually good, although the food obsession and inability to control appetite may persist for weeks to months after the patient has regained an adequate amount of weight.
Unfortunately, the long-term prognosis is not so favorable: On the average, about 40 percent of patients recover more or less completely, 27 percent have ongoing endocrine abnormalities or are mildly underweight, 29 percent have a serious recurrence of the disease within a four-year period, and up to 5 percent succeed in starving themselves to death. Those who are over twenty, have prolonged illness, are depressed, have a family history of mental disturbance, have poor family relationships, who use purgatives and diuretics and who follow binges with vomiting have the worst prognosis.
Bulimia Nervosa
People with bulimia nervosa (BN) have recurring irresistible urges to consume extremely large amounts of food at one sitting (binge). The binge leads to acute feelings of gastric distension, and to sharpening of the fear of becoming fat. To relieve both problems, patients may then proceed to self-induce vomiting or purging. Persons with this condition report a sense of "cleaning out" with vomiting and purging, which may positively reinforce these behaviors. Note that binging without purging comes under the rubric of Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed. (DSM IV), and is described below.
Precipitants of a binge include hunger, being alone, feelings of anxiety, frustration, and worthlessness, and problems with a significant other.
Epidemiology. Like AN, BN primarily afflicts young females from food-rich backgrounds. Its prevalence is unknown because only the most severely affected come to health care. Estimates of the disorder vary from 2.5 to 20 percent of women and 1 to 5 percent of men from the ages of eighteen to twenty-one.
Etiology. The etiology of BN remains unknown. Causes may include a biological predisposition to obesity, depression, and metabolic disturbances (in particular neurohormonal abnormalities, such as abnormalities in the release of gut hormones after eating), coupled with a socially determined desire for thinness, and with bingeing and purging as a group activity, a phenomenon which is becoming increasingly common among women living together, for example in a sorority, or men as part of a team, for example wrestlers.
Families of BN patients have a high prevalence of disorders such as major depression, irritable bowel syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, and migraine, all of which have been linked to abnormalities in the function of neurotransmitters (chemicals such as norepinephrine and serotonin responsible for sending messages from one nerve cell to the next) in the brain. Levels of monoamine oxidase (MAO, an enzyme responsible for degrading norepinephrine and serotonin) in the blood cell clotting fragments called platelets are lower than normal in a person with BN. Low activity of MAO has been associated with impulsiveness, intolerance of boredom and monotony, and sensation seeking, also commonly seen in bulimic individuals. SSRIs, specifically fluoxetine, which increase responsiveness to endogenous serotonin, are moderately effective in treatment of BN. Abnormalities in other hormones and neurotransmitters, including cholecystokinin (CKK), which is released in response to fat in the intestine and depresses appetite, neuropeptide YY, which is involved in activating appetite, and leptin, are under investigation.
Development, diagnosis, and clinical manifestations. The phases of development of BN are far less clear than those of AN, though, as children, patients with this condition may have had pica (the consumption of nonfood items such as dirt or paint chips), and may have suffered through mealtimes in which there was a great deal of commotion and distress. Some bulimics have been severely abused physically, sexually, or both and may show signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, including multiple personality disorder.
It is difficult to determine when bingeing becomes an overt pathological state. Binge episodes may vary from several times daily to once a month or less, and 20 percent of female college students are estimated to have participated at least once in a binge-purge episode.
A binge-purge episode starts with a craving for high-calorie food, usually those high in carbohydrates and fat but low in protein, particularly junk food, which does not have to be cooked. The food is obtained and consumed at one sitting. Thus, a patient may consume a box of cookies, a bag of doughnuts, and a half-gallon of ice cream in a single binge. The binge may then be followed by self-induced vomiting, and/or laxative use. Binges and purges most often occur in private, although there is an increase in group binge-purge episodes among young people who live in communal settings, for example in boarding school or in college. The frequency of episodes increases with increasing stress. Some patients may fast between episodes of bingeing, and may in fact have the binge-eating/ purging form of AN. Other patients may binge without purging.
In BN, eating patterns outside a binge-purge episode are usually characterized by a degree of restrained eating. Nevertheless, when bulimics perceive that they have "violated" the restraint, that is, eaten more than "allowed," they will eat more than a normal person in a test meal situation. Increased postmeal hunger is also experienced by individuals with BN. The restrained eating may therefore be the result of conscious attempts to compensate for the inability to feel satiety, and may be a mechanism for maintaining normal weight in the face of episodes of great hunger and craving. Patients have larger than normal stomachs, which results in both slower than normal stomach emptying and failure to sense fullness, due to excessive relaxation of the stomach, and lower than normal levels of the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) after a meal. CCK is produced in the intestinal tract in response to fatty food, and signals to the brain that the person has eaten enough. As a result of these changes, the person may fail to be aware of satiety. It may be that once binge-purge episodes have begun, these anatomical and physiological changes will amplify the perceived need to binge, and the consequent need to purge.
In taste tests, persons with BN have a higher than normal preference for very sweet and very fatty foods. Normally, the more a person eats of a sweet food at a single sitting, the less pleasant it becomes. Bulimics may not experience this decrease in pleasantness, as a result of which they may be able to eat large amounts of highly sweet food.
The hypothalamus normally senses when blood glucose levels have risen following food ingestion, which also contributes to the feeling of satiety. Persons with BN appear to have mild insulin resistance, which may prevent their hypothalamus from sensing that rise in blood glucose levels.
Persons with BN are less likely than persons with AN to have a distorted body image, though persons with BN do express an overvaluation of thinness and a fear of becoming overweight. A person with BN may be depressed and agitated, but, unlike a person with AN, usually does not participate compulsively in physical activity.
The most striking complaints and physical and biochemical findings regarding BN are related to the frequent vomiting (Table 1). The ability to taste with the palate may be destroyed due to the stomach acid, although taste by the tongue is little affected. Whether these taste changes contribute to bingeing is unknown.
Management. Bulimia nervosa requires long-term, continuous, nonjudgmental psychological management, nutritional counseling, and rehabilitation, and may include medications, particularly SSRIs. Cognitive behavioral therapy approaches that redirect the person's attention away from food and eating, and which address the person's other psychological problems, are the most successful. Patients may have other conditions, such as drug abuse or personality disorders, which need to be addressed before the eating disorder. Both depressed and nondepressed patients with BN may benefit from medications such as SSRIs. These drugs may help with interpersonal functioning, mood, and anxiety symptoms.
Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified
Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) is the term applied to conditions that have some characteristics of the classic eating disorders AN and BN, but which do not meet all the diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-IV. Multiple combinations of signs and symptoms are possible, as noted in Table 1. Persons who abuse weight-reduction medications and other regimens, and who are trying to lose large amounts of weight for reasons of beauty rather than health, as well as persons with binge-eating disorder, also fall under this rubric, as do people who use disordered eating behaviors in an attempt to correct the size of what they perceive as abnormally large (or abnormally small) body parts.
Binge-eating disorder is characterized by binges that are not followed by efforts to get rid of the extra calories. It is estimated that about 2 percent of the general population suffers from this condition, with a male to female ratio of 1 to 3, in contrast with frank bulimia nervosa, where the proportion is closer to 1 in 6. Because people who have this disorder do not vomit or purge, they are often obese; they compose about a third of the patients visiting weight reduction clinics. They also may have body image dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and depression. Active psychotherapy can reduce binge frequency, but once therapy is discontinued, relapse rates are high, and weight lost due to the decrease in binge frequency is often readily regained. Approaches that emphasize self-acceptance, improvement of body image, and better overall health, rather than focusing on weight loss, appear to have the best long-term success rate. It is likely that similar approaches may be effective for people who abuse weight-loss regimens.

Part IV Fundamental Rights and Obligations, 8 Introduction: The 1997 United Nations Convention and its Precursors
From: The Law of International Watercourses (3rd Edition)
Stephen C. McCaffrey
- Subject(s):
- Freshwater — Lakes — Rivers — Specific treaties
This chapter discusses the 1997 United Nations Watercourses Convention. The Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on May 21, 1997 and entered into force on August 17, 2014. The UN Watercourses Convention represents an effort by the international community to reflect the general principles and rules of international law governing the use by states of shared freshwater resources, except for principles and rules concerning navigation. The working document on the basis of which the Convention was negotiated was the result of twenty years' work by the International Law Commission, a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly charged with "the progressive development of international law and its codification." The chapter then provides an overview of the provision of the Convention.

Theresa Alexandra Lewis
Date de naissance : 25 juin 1924
Lieu de décès : Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Date de décès : 6 janvier 2018
It is with great sadness that we, the family of Theresa Lewis, announce the loss of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Theresa passed away on Saturday, January 6, 2018 in Ottawa, ON, her home for the past four years. She generously shared her love with her family through her deep caring, thoughtfulness and self-sacrifice.
Theresa was born on June 25, 1924, the daughter of the late Mary Ann (Morrison) and the late Alexander Campbell.

So I just introduced the idea of being financially independent to you. That is, the concept of having enough money to do (mostly) whatever you want. That includes playing video games all day. This means if you want to do that, you need to retire from your 9-5 job. The next question is: How do I get there?
I'm glad you asked! Let's get started.
Step One: Find out how much you are spending and where.
We can't start without a baseline. In fact if you look up a lot of other websites about finances, they will tell you to start finding out how much you are spending and what you are spending on. As soon as you have a situational awareness of your financial situation we can start on some of the most troublesome problems.
There are several ways of doing it, some of which include programs, applications and even back to old school spreadsheets.
I personally use Mint because it's free and I can carry it everywhere on my phone app. I also can't be asked to sit down and manually break it down. (I don't exactly have full control but the amount of information it spits out at me is rather enough for I wanted.)
This might be a big shock to you about finding out how much you spent. Brace for it.
Step Two: Target Problem Spending Areas
Were you surprised that you were spending over $1000 going out to eat? Yeah, that was me when I first started doing this as well. Don't feel bad. So now we find all the problem spending habits we have and tackle it with a plan. Let's take going out to eat as an example.
Going out to eat was one of my biggest areas. I've resolved to start making my own food at home, even though it was more time-consuming.
So here's the thing. You must look objectively at how much you are spending in each area and then resolve to make a plan. From then on you have to figure out that plan and execute it. Don't look at it with "Oh man, I think I might need this!" but rather "Do I really need it now?". Using your car to get to work can fall into those grey areas, but really, look at it. If you have to, make a budget. Mint is actually pretty good in this place.
Unfortunately splurging on our video games fall into this area. But don't worry, I'm here to help you make better decisions.
Step Three: Where do I put this extra money now?
So you now find that you have extra money. Congratulations!
But wait. Don't spend it on that game you wanted just yet!
Here's the deal. We're going to get ahead of the competition by investing it. Your money should be working for you. But you also need to find where you need to put this money. You can't just dump this money in a high-savings account anymore. The return on that is abysmal!
Find out what tax free savings/investments accounts are available in your country and put it in there. If you have a retirement savings plan available, put it in there! If you don't have one, start one! Start contributing early. The earlier you start, the better! In the US, this is called a 401k. However, I'm in Canada so this is called a Tax-Free Savings Account. (I only have basic knowledge so there's much more out there to look into!) It doesn't hurt to have a both a Retirement Savings Plan and a Tax-Free Savings Account. Just be aware about the limitations or the taxes will come and bite you in the back.
However, despite all of this, my dad also parted me with this good advice: "Life is too short. Don't be afraid to spend it once in a while to increase your happiness."
So here's what I do, and I think it's a good plan so I'll share it with you. I put in contributions from my paycheck into my investments. I also give myself reminders that by the end of the month I will put in half of my paycheck into my investments. Anything I have left over will be for my fun, entertainment and other small things that suddenly come up. I'm proud to say that I still buy a couple of games (but not monthly! $60-$70 a month is still too much!) every year and still come up positive in savings.
Step Four: Work at Getting Good and Watch your Money Grow
There's usually more things aside from just this. There's stuff like optimizing your cash flow, legally getting around the system, but usually that needs some time for research and actually getting to it. Your money in that account won't sit around and do nothing. Those bucks are going forward and working their butts off for you. You'll be able to see it grow especially if you have Mint installed.
So if you're like me, who's still working a good time of the day, this is pretty much all there is there to it. I also spend more time trying to get my stuff together to get good at my game. I spend a good amount of time getting good at a game I'm focusing on but I also work on working on my content. This is all a patience game. Your money works for you while you work on your skills so you are armed and prepared for when you decide to leave your job.
There's a huge sense of accomplishment and progress for becoming good at what you do. This to me, is my secret to happiness. I have a ton of ongoing projects going on that I am working towards finishing becoming super good at. By getting good at whatever you choose to do, your next path is chosen. For me, that's video games. For you, well, that's canvas for you to fill.
So What now?
These are just the basics! There's so much more in this realm that we are talking about and covering. It's like trying to learn how to aim in Counter-Strike. Can't get good unless you have a good understanding of the fundamentals.
So what were your biggest spending areas?

The Simple Woman's Daybook
I've enjoyed reading the posts in this meme at The Simple Woman and visiting their lovely days. It helps to remember the simple joys of daily living.
Outside my window…2 morning doves waddling below the bird feeder, tulips bursting with color, a cardinal in the tree teasing my cat
I am thinking…that I will enjoy the evening away from my computer
I am thankful for…my husband's hard work, my son's humor and my daughter's creativity
From the kitchen…fresh strawberries and blueberries, sautéed asparagus with lemon and homemade chicken and rice crockpot soup
I am creating…a new simplicity course
I am going…to the Tulip Time parade
I am wearing…green gray jeans, a pinkish shirt with 3/4 sleeves, a green, pink and gold bracelet, and a moss green scarf because it was a bit chilly walking today
I am reading…The ZooKeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
I am hoping…for another day of blue skies and an evening of rain
I am hearing…my computer fan, my teenager's music
Around the house…is a bag of clothes for Goodwill, a bag of food for the post office food drive Saturday and a picture my daughter says needs to be updated
One of my favorite things…is walking on the beach
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…2 Tulip Time parades, showing my son how to do a budget, continuing my Spending Fast and chatting with my daughter
Here is a picture thought I am sharing for you…

About Us
Our promise to you
We founded this brand based on a fierce desire for more inclusive fashion. To put it frankly, we're sick of seeing clothing on one body type. We want our clothing to feel like it belongs to everyone - short, tall, thin and curvy. We promise we'll never photoshop our models and we'll continue to celebrate every beautiful bump, curve and stretch of skin.
A note from our founder:
Hi, I'm Brighita - the founder of Beautiful Ugly. I started this brand for a number of reasons - an overwhelming love of fashion and minimal aesthetics but also because I was fed up with only one type of woman being represented in the fashion world. I, like women around the world, come in all shapes and sizes. I promise that as we grow as a brand and company, Beautiful Ugly will represent those many shapes and sizes.

Five resolutions we can help you keep
At MacEwan, we're all about supporting our students' success, inside and outside of the classroom, so we want to help you keep your resolutions. Fortunately, some of the most common resolutions involve ideas and values we care about as much as you do, and we have supports in place to help you succeed.
Here are a few resolutions we can help you keep in 2019 and beyond.
Taking care of your mental health. . .
Nothing is more important than your sense of wellbeing. If you've resolved to prioritize your mental health this year, there are a few ways we can help.
As a student, you have access to MacEwan's counselling services, which include personal, educational and crisis counselling. Drop in for an initial consultation or call to make an appointment. You can also turn to other students for help through SAMU's Peer Support program.
If counselling isn't the right step for you, you might want to check out our Changing Minds website to learn coping strategies, find out about mental health workshops and events, and read stories of other people at MacEwan who are navigating their own mental health experiences.
. . .And your physical health
If being more active is on your list of resolutions, you might already be a step ahead – students enrolled in six or more credits have automatic membership to the Christenson Centre for Sport and Wellness, which includes the fitness centre, pool, gymnasium and steam room.
Students also have access to the new MacEwan University Health Centre. Book an appointment to address specific physical or mental health concerns, or for a general check-up.
Putting yourself out there
Finding a way to explore a new interest can be hard. Meeting new people can be hard. The good news is we have an easy way to do both: joining a club.
There are nearly 100 clubs on campus, ranging from improv to gaming to faith groups and just about anything else you could imagine. Check out the SAMU club listings to see what strikes your fancy.
Saving some dough
Cutting down on debt or padding your savings account sound like great resolutions. . .until you start trying to figure out exactly how you're going to make it happen. Should you take on extra work hours? Cut back on necessities? Stop having fun all together?
You might not have to take any of those options. Ease the financial challenges of post-secondary education by applying for scholarships, awards and bursaries. There is funding available for students in a variety of financial and academic circumstances, and applying is easier than you might think.
Volunteering is a great way to do something good for your university community, and meet new people while you're at it. But this is a resolution that stalls for some students, simply because they don't know how to get involved.
A great place to start is MacEwan.ca/Volunteer. This new web page lists some of the biggest events, initiatives and programs across campus that require volunteers. All you have to do is pick one and sign up.
Happy new year from MacEwan! We look forward to seeing you back here for the Winter term.

I really enjoy Planet and it's 80's throwback influence, but listened to the 2 songs you've got posted on Bandcamp and have to say I really like the music and will most likely be getting the album when it's released.
As I listened I couldn't help but notice a great maturity in the new music, arrangement and style. Also I can't tell you how many times I've liked a new band but then the vocalist starts singing and I'm out of there, many Progressive bands seem to suffer from lead vocals not rising to the level of superior musicanship in my opinion. But I love the vocals on this and Planet is excellent also.
Keep up the good work, and as you toil about your day job, just remember there are people out here who really like and enjoy your creativity. Thank you for sharing your talent and artistic vision with us, looking forward to the new album.

Am I That Easy To Forget?
by PamFord Davis
7/26/2010 / Devotionals
Selective hearing is a malady experienced by many, graciously tolerated by family and friends. The root cause is still under investigation. It can begin at any age and shows no sign of eradication. Early symptoms in victims include disinterest in those around them, occasional grunts and refusal to make eye contact.
The problem seems to spread quickly to other areas of the body. Selective memory is a must to avoid. We seem to be able to recall wrongs done against us, favors owed by others and personal recognition. Our memory blurs in cases of the many times people treated us kindly.
God pours out His blessings, delivers us from danger and makes His presence known. We forget His goodness, and complain, if in His perfect timing, He delays answers to prayer. Blessings come and we forget to say thank you. It is easy to see that selective memory hits too close to home.
"They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt, wonderful works in the land of Ham, awe-inspiring deeds at the Red Sea (Psalm 106:21-22 HCS)." Is He that easy to forget?

Dental crowns are commonly used today to treat many dental concerns that can arise. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your natural tooth, and it can be used to protect and restore your tooth when it has been damaged. For example, if you have a crack or break in a tooth, or if you have severe tooth decay, you may need a crown over the affected tooth.
What To Do If Your Crown is Broken
While dental crowns are very durable, and they are made to perform like a natural tooth, they can sometimes break. If you experience an injury that causes your crown to crack, or if you simply eat something that causes it to crack, the first step is to visit your dentist. Breaking a dental crown can often come with pain to your tooth, so it's important to get an appointment quickly to talk about your options. Your dental crown is in place in order to protect your natural tooth from further damage, so you want to make sure that tooth stays protected!
If you are having pain from the break, you should be able to take over-the-counter medications to help until you are able to visit your dentist.
Your dentist will recommend the best course of action for your damaged crown. Sometimes, your dentist can repair the crown and reapply it to your tooth. In other cases, if the crown is too damaged, you may have to get an entirely new crown created and placed. Either way, your dentist will explain your options to you and will help you determine what the best options are for your needs.
Crowns in Webster Groves
If you have any questions about dental crowns, or if your crown has broken or been damaged, give our office a call right away. We are always happy to answer any questions that you may have about the process, and we can schedule your appointment right away. Our team of experts will help you find the best payment options for whatever treatments you need as well.

DAVAO City Vice Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte will prioritize legislations on health and environment under his three-year term.
Duterte said this on Wednesday, July 10, at the Sanguniang Panlungsod, wherein he met with the members of the media since he assumed his position last June 30.
The vice mayor said he wants to prioritize the health sector as it is the major problem in the city that needs immediate attention from the local government.
Although the city's health services is being addressed by his sister, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, as one of her 10-point Priority Agenda, he said it must be upgraded to ensure that these would be met.
He said he wants to ensure that the current 17 health districts in the city are functioning to address the needs for health services in their respective areas.
Duterte also said he will ask the city council to review and amend existing ordinances for the environment, particularly on the current massive land conversions on the city due to its progressive economy.
"Balansehon nato, dili nato gusto isakrpisyo atong environment at the same time dili pud nato gusto ma sakripisyo ang income sa city kay progressing baya and we're growing very fast (We need to balance and we don't want to sacrifice our environment at the same time. We also don't want to sacrifice the income of the city because we are progressing and we're growing very fast)," he added.
The vice mayor also said the Council is also monitoring the current construction of the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project (DCBWSP), wherein it faces different environmental risks. He said the city will look into passing ordinances for the protection of the city's watershed, particularly the Panigan-Tamugan River, which is being eyed as "Davao's future water source".
As for the waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration, which is being opposed by different environmental groups, he said he is willing to communicate with them to address their concerns.
In a previous report, Duterte said in his inaugural speech that the 19th City Council will push to enact 24 landmark ordinances to pursue the priority agenda of both local and national government. The previous council was unable to enact 14 landmark legislations.
Duterte said he and the council will try their best to pass and amend ordinances "to be responsive to the ever changing times".
He, meanwhile, admitted he is still adjusting being the presiding head of the city council. Although he said he is having a smooth adjustment as a neophyte public servant.
He also said that he will continue to seek advice from his older siblings Duterte-Carpio and Davao City first district representative Paolo Dutere.
Baste likewise urged the youth to be politically active and well-informed about the issues in the city. (Cristita L. Canoy/MSU intern/With reports from Ralph Lawrence G. Llemit)

Construction is still rolling.
Here is what the space looked like last Monday!
And this is what the space looked like this morning!
This week flooring will go in (they were starting tile work this morning). Bathroom flooring is already done. Wood floor is sitting there ready to go in!
Doors will likely go in this week as well! Look at other pictures here.
It's really fun seeing it all come together! We're excited to create a physical space of grace, love and opportunity.

The Palestinian Authority has blocked access to dozens of news websites and social media accounts in the occupied West Bank in its ongoing crackdown of opposition voices and those critical of Mahmoud Abbas' presidency.
The decision was reportedly made last Thursday by a magistrate court in Ramallah, but only came to light this week when Palestinians protested the move in the streets and on social media.
The exact number of sites that were blocked remained unclear, with most local media reporting a total 59, and other sites, like the Times of Israel, quoting anonymous government sources who put the number at 49.

Most of the sites that were blocked are those critical of the PA and Mahmoud Abbas, or are said to be "favorable" to his political rivals like Mahmoud Dahlan and Hamas.
The court's decision was made in accordance with the widely condemned Cyber Crimes Law, passed unilaterally by Abbas in 2017 as an attempt to silence growing criticism of him and his government.
According to local media, the court's decision was made on the pretext that the barred sites "threaten national security" and "disturb public order."
Some of the sites, like Voice of Fatah — known to be affiliated with Dahlan — that appeared on the list this week were part of a dozen sites that were initially blocked back in 2017.
The repetition of some sites reportedly has to do with the fact that each order barring a site or social media page lasts only six months, and needs to be renewed accordingly.
Among the sites ordered to be blocked were the website and social media accounts of the Hamas-affiliated Quds News Network, a widely popular news source for young Palestinians given the network's strong social media presence.
Palestinian journalists took to the streets in the Gaza Strip outside the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate office in Gaza City. Protesters held signs reading "banning is a crime" and "the suppression of media freedoms will not pass."
One protester was photographed holding a sign that read "where are the occupation websites on the ban list?"
In a statement, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said "this is a black day in the history of the Palestinian media."
The Hamas movement also condemned the move, saying "the Palestinian Authority is burying its head in the sand in its attempts to prevent freedom of expression and return the national press to a dark era".
It remained unclear if the ban on the sites would extend beyond the West Bank and into the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian-American activist Mariam Barghouti slammed the "authoritarian measures" on Twitter, saying "the Palestinian Authority and all of its leaders (regardless of their own internal disagreements) are consistent in their suppression of Palestinians."
The Palestinian Authority and all of its leaders (regardless of their own internal disagreements) are consistent in their suppression of Palestinians. This is important to highlight so when Palestinians hit the streets we remember it's not sporadic, nor solicited by single events

Palestinian writer Saleh al-Naami tweeted:
"Unfortunately, the decision to ban dozens of sites and pages shows that the authority of Mahmoud Abbas is a classic example of small authoritarian regimes that employ the judiciary in the services of their miserable agendas."
According to Middle East Monitor, the Palestinian Commission for Human Rights is expected to appeal the decision.
Mahmoud Abbas and the PA have increasingly come under fire in the past two years for online censorship security and campaigns of politically motivated arrests.
In the PA-controlled West Bank, there is a growing sense of discontentment with the government and its leaders, who continue to prioritize their consolidation of power and resources over the rights of the people.
Dozens of Palestinian citizens, mainly youth, have been arrested and tortured by the PA over social media posts critical of Abbas and his regime.
It is estimated that in 2016 alone, PA security forces arrested at least 220 Palestinians for social media posts, while Hamas authorities detained 45 Palestinians for similar reasons in Gaza.
A poll published by Palestinian NGO 7amleh over the weekend found that two-thirds of Palestinian youth are afraid to voice their political opinions online.

Since 2004, Memjet has been developing high-performance inkjet printheads and related components for OEMs to install in a variety of inkjet printing devices under their own brand names. It's been a smart strategy for the company, enabling it to drive an installed base of more than 10,000 Memjet-powered solutions of all kinds since the appearance of the first such product in 2007. Most of those implementations, however, have been in desktop equipment. Now, Memjet has its sights set on bigger machines and more lucrative markets. With the introduction of a new printhead technology called DuraLink, Memjet will try to cultivate OEM partnerships that lead to the development of full-scale digital inkjet presses for commercial print and packaging production. Memjet made the announcement about DuraLink to a small group of journalists and analysts at its San Diego, California headquarters on August 22. It also outlined future plans for VersaPass, its original inkjet printhead technology, which will now be reserved for wide-format and labeling applications.
Ink-Cascading Waterfall. Memjet holds more than 3,000 inkjet-related patents and was, according to CEO Len Lauer, the first company to market "page-wide" inkjet printheads capable of imaging the full width of an A4 sheet. Initially dubbed "Waterfall Printhead Technology," the solution consisted primarily of a fixed, 8.77" printhead module emitting 700 million droplets per second across the breadth of a page from a matrix of 70,400 nozzles. This single-pass printing method was said by Memjet to be more efficient, higher in quality, and faster than the back-and-forth action of a moving printhead.
The first-generation product, now being marketed as VersaPass, used aqueous, dye-based inks and could place up to five printheads side by side for a total single-pass printing width of 42". In DuraLink, Memjet offers OEMs pigment-based inks, greater speed, longer printhead life, and the ability to stitch as many as a dozen 8.77″ heads in devices, printing up to 2.5 metres wide for a printing area of 100". The value proposition to partners that make presses with DuraLink printheads includes flexible integration, rapid time to market, and ease of support once the presses are installed. Commercial and packaging printers are promised high-quality, high-speed inkjet printing in up to eight colours at a very competitive cost per page.
Besides representing a technological leap forward, DuraLink also is Memjet's bid to rise in the hierarchy of digital print equipment suppliers. To date, Memjet has worked with about 30 OEM partners, mostly smaller producers with a few in the front ranks. Now, said Rankin, the collaborators Memjet hopes to attract to DuraLink are "first-tier" OEMs. These are partners he defined as having "established product and market presence with experienced development, service, sales and marketing resources." Also to be courted are second-tier OEMs with less influence and recognition, but with the intention of "working towards disrupting and entering as a primary market share participant" with Memjet, Rankin said. DuraLink partnerships, according to Lauer, will enable Memjet to leverage the commercial print market, which the company sees as the largest potential application for DuraLink. OEMs with which it's currently working in this area include SuperWeb, Halm, Winkler+Dünnebier and Colordyne Technologies.
Potential for Packaging. Folding carton and corrugated packaging can also become applications for DuraLink by adding printheads not just to presses, but to converting and finishing lines. Partnering in packaging with Memjet are CMC, IPT Digital, New Solution, and Xanté. Textile printing represents yet another area of opportunity for the company. Look for "household names" among OEM suppliers of production inkjet equipment to be on board with DuraLink in the near future, said Lauer, who added that Memjet has been "very encouraged" by talks and beta tests it's engaged in with potential first-tier and second-tier partners. He estimated that it would take an OEM 9 to 12 months to develop a working press after receiving the DuraLink components from Memjet. Rankin said that while Memjet doesn't control the launch schedules of its partners, "we anticipate seeing the first DuraLink solutions being announced in the second half of 2018."
Lauer said that most of DuraLink's competition will come from piezo inkjet technology, which he characterized as harder to integrate than DuraLink's thermal drop-on-demand architecture. He identified the "sweet spot" of the market for DuraLink-equipped presses as the under $1 million category, where devices like the Canon Océ VarioPrint i300 and Xerox's Brenva cut-sheet inkjet presses are trying to establish themselves. DuraLink will be most competitive, he said, in a "disruption zone" where piezo DoD presses selling for under $1 million and consuming 300 to 4,000 litres of ink per month struggle because of the costs associated with them.
OEM partners will build the disruptive presses that Memjet envisions around a modular system that includes printheads, supporting modules, RIP-friendly software, and pigment ink. Eric Owen, General Manager of Commercial Press for Memjet, suggested thinking of the modular components as analogous to "Lego pieces" or the ingredients in "Blue Apron" meal kits – both designed for do-it-yourself assembly out of the box. Although up to now, he said, Memjet's practice has been to supply complete print engines and leave the adaptation to the OEMs, DuraLink's modular approach will let them use more of their own "creativity" in fashioning the final product.

Of course, UPS and FedEx do not concentrate on sending modest letters but rather parcels, and documents that need to be sent really quickly – services for which they are competitive with the federally-supported USPS in price tag and far superior in service. If somebody began a corporation selling 'stamps' and competing directly with the USPS in that manner for mass mailing and 'regular' mail they would be in violation of federal law.

Despite the fact that solutions are intangible, their effects are not. Transportation services move individuals, cleaning solutions get rid of dirt and stains, and repair services restore things to working order. Solutions need facilities, gear, and supplies that are bundled in. When items are bundled in, the enterprise pays sales or use tax, if applicable when merchandise are sold with solutions, the consumer normally pays sales or use tax, if applicable.
I must admit, i am not very familiar with the grievance arbitration system, thanks for pointing it out. I'll have to check it out. But perhaps the reason why they settle circumstances in favor of 1 side of the argument much more frequently is merely simply because, probably, that side is commonly suitable? I dunno. Just throwin it out there.

The temperature continues to drop and I am spending more time indoors looking back at fishing pictures from this past year. As I relive the moments, it's a reminder of how blessed we've been with outdoor adventures in 2017. However, it's also a reminder of just how much I still have left to write about and publish. The fall has been an adventurous one that still needs documenting but I also have a sizable backlog from the summer. So here goes with another catch-up post!
At Frog Lake in 2016, Grace reeled in her first "by herself fish". Most of her friends caught word of that experience fishing and camping and wanted in on the action. So, following my Father's Day Wickiup boys trip in June, we camped and fished Frog Lake with 3 other families. The camp totaled 4 families with 10 kids comprised of a 1 year old, 7 girls (one mine) and 2 boys (mine). What an amazing camping, swimming, and hiking experience! But words can't describe how different camping with Gavin and Garrett's friends are than Grace's friends. When boys go camping, they prefer to be covered in mud and dirt and girls like to use A LOT of baby wipes and paper towels.
I was more prepared for this shore fishing trip than I have been for any other in the past. Texting with the other dads, we coordinated fishing tackle and camp details during the weeks leading up to departure. I mentally prepared Gavin and Garrett that they'd need to be patient fishing guides for the newbie girls. The boys helped me rig 9 different rods to share with each kid. After several trips to Fisherman's Marine, all 3 of our tackle boxes became fully loaded. We had enough gear to shelve our own little tackle shop out of the back of my truck.
We fished Frog Lake for a total of 1.5 hours over the 2 day and 2 night trip. The water level this year was exceptionally high making my go-to spots a chore to get to. Regardless, most of the girls found riding bikes to be more interesting. The fishing we did do Grace passed on leaving the boys to chase trout with the 2 most experienced fishing friends. The four of them caught decent stringer of rainbows that they proudly served for lunch. I think everyone at camp had at least one bit of trout before moving on to burgers and hot dogs. Success!

It's a common misconception that simply because an office party is taking place off-site that the business doesn't carry any liability associated with the event. This is not always the case.
When an event is sanctioned by the business, they carry a level of responsibility for the attendees and the space that is being rented. It's important to know if your insurance policy will provide coverage for events such as this.
Give your broker a call if you're unsure. If your policy doesn't carry coverage for a special event then a short-term policy might be a solution.
A Commercial General Liability policy may exclude any coverage for liquor liability or any time when liquor is served. In order to sell alcohol, you need a liquor permit/license from Alcohol Gaming Commission Ontario (AGCO). In some cases, you may also require a permit/license even if the alcohol at your event is free.
Liquor liability can fall on several parties: servers, premises owners, employers, sponsors.
If you are the owner of an establishment that provides alcohol to customers you carry a responsibility to protect persons at your location from harm; this includes educating and properly training your staff who will interact with your customers.
There are measures that can be taken to help mitigate risk:
- Train servers to identify an intoxicated person (Smart Serve Training).
- Train servers on how to advise a customer they are cut off from bar service – include Low-Risk Practice sessions where servers can practice with each other how to handle situations that may arise.
- Inform guests not to drink and drive.
- Encouraging and arranging taxi transportation for customers.
- Encourage designated driver programs and include a contact number for your guests to have quick access to.
Remember, a liquor liability permit is not insurance.
Liquor liability coverage can be added to policies or stand-alone Event/Wedding policies that can be purchased from PAL and other insurers.
A business that is renting a space for a party still carries a liquor liability exposure. At an employer sanctioned event the employer can carry some of the risk associated with the consumption of alcohol.
You can read about examples online (like the time an employee became drunk at an office party, drove home and got into an accident and sued the employer for allowing them to drive home - settlement: $300,000). Essentially, a host of an event where liquor is served can carry liability with respect to the event. In this case, a Host Liquor Liability policy could fill the coverage gap.
Holiday Party Checklist
Before you pop the top of the champagne, review our Holiday Party Checklist found in our Resource Center in the "Reference Material and Downloads" section.
- Go through each item and determine whether or not you have addressed it.
- Create a plan leading up to your party and communicate with your employees about conduct, drinking responsibly, and to never drink and drive.
The Checklist is not an exhaustive list but a guide to help you think through some of the risks associated with this time of year and special events.
We wish you safe and happy holidays!

Generika Drugstore, the pioneer in the retail of affordable, quality generic medicines, and FamilyDOC, the largest retail clinic chain, both member companies of Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health), recently partnered with Hapinoy, a social enterprise, which assists micro-entrepreneurs and sari-sari store owners, to provide discounts and benefits to its members who are mostly mothers.
AC Health President and CEO, Paolo Borromeo, Generika Drugstore President, and CEO, Dino Francisco, FamilyDOC General Manager, Raymund Paul Darroca and Hapinoy Founder and CEO, Mark Ruiz led the signing ceremony held last April 24, 2019.
