Fur processing is earth-friendly
The processing and dyeing of any clothing material must be carefully regulated to protect the environment. Again, nothing is 100% "green". Fur tanning ("dressing") and coloring, however, are relatively benign, as they must be, to preserve fur hairs and follicles. (By contrast, in leather tanning the hair is intentionally removed from the hide.)
The main chemicals used to "dress" fur pelts are table salt, water, alum salts, soda ash, sawdust, cornstarch, lanolin and other natural ingredients. Small quantities of formaldehyde can be used to protect fur follicles during dressing or dyeing, and gentle acids (e.g., acetic acid, which is vinegar) activate the tanning process, but local environmental protection controls ensure that there are no harmful effluents. Excess fats are skimmed and even PH levels must be neutralized before wastewater is released. And because furs are available in an extraordinary range of natural colours, only a small proportion are dyed.
By contrast, up to one gallon of petroleum – a non-renewable resource – is needed to produce three synthetic jackets. The production of synthetic fibers also involves chemical reactions at high temperatures, producing potentially harmful substances.
According to R.S. Blackburn (Biodegradable and Sustainable Fibers, pg xv): "The main problems with synthetic polymers are that they are non-degradable and non-renewable… Oil and petroleum are non-renewable (non-sustainable) resources and at the current rate of consumption, these fossil fuels are only expected to last for another 50-60 years… An even more important problem with the use of fossil energy is the huge translocation of carbon from the ground into the atmosphere accompanied by emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides as well as all kinds of hydrocarbons, and heavy metals. Fossil fuels are also the dominant global source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG)''

I will review your purchase contract and discuss the contract with you before it will be approved and help you to ensure that your purchase or sale agreement is stated fully, clearly, and in the manner that is best calculated to promote and protect your interests.

If you are buying or selling a home and need assistance, I can help guide you through the process and help in understanding the purchase agreement and prepare all the necessary closing documents, review closing documents and communicate with your lender, real estate agent and any others involved with your closing.

How much energy does the tracker need to operate?
The system is powered with electricity from the electrical panel in the house. There is very little power required for tracking and the system uses less than 1% of the power it produces.
How does the tracker know what time it is and adjust its position?
The GPS unit inside the tracker control box knows the tracker's location as well as the time. Knowing its location and the time, the tracker knows exactly where the sun is at any given moment. The tracker uses its hydraulic drive to position the array to directly face the sun. As the sun moves, the tracker will periodically reposition the array. It is not dependent on clock time for any particular time zone and thus will not be impacted by any weather events or the change to daylight savings time.
Does the motor of an AllEarth Solar Tracker require any chemicals or make noise?
The tracker uses standard hydraulic fluid in its hydraulic system to make it move. The motor that runs the system makes about as much noise as your refrigerator.
How long does an AllEarth solar tracking system last?
They are designed for a 25-year lifespan, and have a 10-year parts warranty. Please see our Limited Warranty for more information.
How will installing a tracker affect my homeowner's insurance policy?
Most homeowner policies cover "other structures" up to a certain percentage of your overall policy. Check with your insurance agent about tracker coverage.
Who will provide maintenance and service on the AllEarth Solar Tracker system?
The company from which you purchased your AllEarth Solar Tracker will provide manufacturer-supported maintenance and service.
Where are AllEarth's trackers produced?
AllEarth Trackers are produced in Williston, Vt. from components sourced mainly in the U.S. We also engineer our system at our headquarters in VT.

I have created a brand new packet, a Classroom Halloween Party Kit, with all of the materials and directions that you (or your volunteers) need to throw a successful and fabulous party. The prep isn't time-consuming, and the activities are varied and super fun! Here's a closer look at what you will find in this party kit:
This section includes an invitation you can customize, volunteer sign-ups, materials checklist, and thank you notes for your volunteers.
This section includes a darling bunting, door decoration, and various Halloween accents to get the environment just right for your party.
This section includes a bunch of engaging, yet simple-to-prep stations. Choose as many as you need, I promise your kids will love them!
As you can see, this packet is full of really awesome resources to help make your classroom Halloween party a fabulous success! This packet will be on sale throughout the rest of the week, so make sure you grab one quickly!

Did you know one in five families are unable to provide everyday essentials and food for their children? This summer was also the hungriest on record with one in four children not knowing where their next meal will come from – an increase from one in seven children prior to the pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 continue to be felt around the country and many people struggle to secure basic needs. Unemployment is at an all-time high and an alarming number of families face food insecurity, not only from the increased financial burdens but also because many students and families rely on schools for school meal programs and other daily essentials.
This school year is unlike any other. Frito-Lay knew the critical need to ensure children have enough food and resources to succeed. The company quickly pivoted to expand its partnership with Feed the Children, a leading nonprofit focused on alleviating childhood hunger, to create the "Building the Future Together" program to provide shelf-stable food to supplement more than a quarter-million meals and distribute 500,000 pantry staples, school supplies, snacks, books, hand sanitizer, and personal care items to schools in underserved communities.
Artist Tom Ward has used his incredible illustration techniques to give us some new perspective on modern life through popular Disney characters. "Disney characters are so iconic that I thought transporting them to our modern world could help us see it through new eyes," he told The Metro.
Tom says he wanted to bring to life "the times we live in and communicate topical issues in a relatable way."
In Ward's "Alt Disney" series, Prince Charming and Pinocchio have fallen victim to smart phone addiction. Ariel is living in a polluted ocean, and Simba and Baloo have been abused by humans.
Between the new normal that is working from home and e-learning for students of all ages, having functional electronic devices is extremely important. But that doesn't mean needing to run out and buy the latest and greatest model. In fact, this cycle of constantly upgrading our devices to keep up with the newest technology is an incredibly dangerous habit.
The amount of e-waste we produce each year is growing at an increasing rate, and the improper treatment and disposal of this waste is harmful to both human health and the planet.
So what's the solution? While no one expects you to stop purchasing new phones, laptops, and other devices, what you can do is consider where you're purchasing them from and how often in order to help improve the planet for future generations.
When I opened Twitter Saturday morning, I saw "Chris Evans" and "Captain America" trending. Evans is my favorite of the Marvel Chrises, so naturally I clicked to see what was happening with him—then quickly became confused. I saw people talking about "nude leaks," some remarks about (ahem) "size," and something about how he'd accidentally leaked naked photos of himself. But as I scrolled through the feed (not looking for the pics, just trying to figure out what happened) the only photos I saw were of him and his dog, occasionally sprinkled with handsome photos of him fully clothed.
Here's what had happened. Evans apparently had shared a video in his Instagram stories that somehow ended with an image of his camera roll. Among the tiled photos was a picture of a penis. No idea if it was his and really don't care. Clearly, it wasn't intentional and it appears the IG story was quickly taken down.
Schools often have to walk a fine line when it comes to parental complaints. Diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and preferences for what kids see and hear will always mean that schools can't please everyone all the time, so educators have to discern what's best for the whole, broad spectrum of kids in their care.
Sometimes, what's best is hard to discern. Sometimes it's absolutely not.
Such was the case this week when a parent at a St. Louis elementary school complained in a Facebook group about a book that was read to her 7-year-old. The parent wrote:
"Anyone else check out the read a loud book on Canvas for 2nd grade today? Ron's Big Mission was the book that was read out loud to my 7 year old. I caught this after she watched it bc I was working with my 3rd grader. I have called my daughters school. Parents, we have to preview what we are letting the kids see on there."

Merriam-Webster defines integrity as "the adherence to moral and ethical principles, soundness of moral character and honesty". My definition of integrity is keeping promises, following through on commitments, being dependable and "walking the talk".
When it comes to integrity, I hold myself to high standards. I consider my level of integrity to be a leading character strength for me. I believe I know right from wrong and I am committed to doing the right thing, even if it's not always pleasant. I try to be honest and straightforward.
Yesterday, I came to the realization that my integrity is not as high as I would convince myself it is – at least, not when it comes to one particular person. My actions are rarely in this person's best interest, I break commitments consistently, I'm not dependable when it comes to my promises; I lie.
If you haven't already guessed, that person is me. I don't have self-loathing and I don't place all others above me, but I've realized that I allow myself leniencies in commitments that I would never abide in a relationship with someone else.
I commit to doing something beneficial for myself, get lazy and let it slide. I put things off, I procrastinate and I make excuses. Should a friend treat me thus, I would be quick to distance myself, but, in this instance, I allow it.
It disturbs me to acknowledge this weakness of character. Can I remedy it? Will it make a difference? I truly don't know.

Archons is a creature type describing mystical celestial beings that are heavily aligned with the principles of White, have obscured faces, and always appear on a flying steed (a winged lion, bull or other creature).[1]
Archon is a Greek word that means "ruler", "magistrate" or "lord". Fitting this, some archons warp the game through imposing a significant restriction, most famously Blazing Archon.
Archons symbolize White's harsher aspects like its moral rigidity and ferocious retribution, while angels have a more varied role, generally leaning towards compassion and mercy.[2] Originally, archons seemed to be mirror-images of the black Specters, hooded beings that also ride flying mounts.
The flavor text of Krond the Dawn-Clad implies that archons might be created, naturally or by white-aligned mages, as embodiments of concepts, something supported by the fact that many archons are directly associated with said concepts. Unlike them, however, Krond appeared to be a solar deity.
Archons on Eldraine ride winged stags, and appear to wield weapons fashioned after their steeds' antlers. Not much is known about Eldraine archons, but it is implied they're part of its fair folk and likely more benevolent than on other planes, since one watched the Kenrith twins from the trees and protected them from goblins.[3]
Archons manifested on Shadowmoor, among them the Archon of Justice, who apparently manifested as a reaction to the darkening of the plane in order to defend their associated concept. They ride winged stags.
On Ravnica, Archons seem to be closely aligned to the Azorius Senate, who embody the law on the plane, as opposed to the angels that are leaders of the Boros Legion or within the Orzhov Syndicate; guildless Archons are featured in the first block, but currently they are mostly found within the Azorius.[4] Their presence is strong enough that people willingly submit to them and cease fighting. They ride lions and large, winged and horned beasts reminiscent of cats, particularly felidars.
In ancient times, the archons of Theros held a massive empire, tyrannising the world in the belief that they were imposing a strict justice.[5] The most notable of these Archon tyrants was Agnomakhos, who used the leonin as an army. Eventually, the Archon empire fell, being instead replaced by the poleis, and the remaining Archons now lash at these, slighting the "honor" they feel was stripped from them. These archons are gendered.[6] They stand apart from the gods of the plane, serving a force they deem higher. Theran Archons ride a large variety of mounts, including winged lions and winged oxens.
The Archons of Zendikar are subordinated to its Archangels and act as their enforcers. Archons and their steeds are actually the same being, sharing the same mind and will (it is unknown if this applies to all Archons or just the ones on Zendikar).[7] Most Zendikari archons ride winged lions.

Centiorari for McDonald v. City of Chicago Granted
The Second Amendment Foundation appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court for certiorari on behalf of their plaintiffs.
Certiorari for McDonald was granted on September 30, 2009. The NRA separately filed for certiorari on behalf of their plaintiffs which was not granted until after the decision in McDonald.
Subsequent to the Court of Appeals ruling, the Second Amendment Foundation requested that the Supreme Court review the case and on September 30, 2009 the request was granted. The National Rifle Association also requested review on the part of the plaintiffs and on January 25, 2010 was granted a motion for 'divided argument' on the case, meaning that both the Second Amendment Foundation sponsored attorney, Alan Gura and the NRA sponsored attorney, Paul Clement would both argue for the plaintiff.
It is worth noting that this 'divided argument' places the plaintiff at a bit of a disadvantage since the two attorneys split the time allotted for oral arguments. In addition, the two attorneys arguments originate in different points of law which could have the effect of complicating the consideration of the issue. This is particularly noteworthy in light of the success of Alan Gura in DC v. Heller. Several observers questioned the wisdom of the petition by the NRA and its motivation.
The Supreme Court today agreed to determine whether the Second Amendment extends beyond federal to local and state laws.
The decision to hear the case follows the high court's high-profile ruling in June 2008 that struck down a handgun ban in the District of Columbia, a federal enclave.
A day after the Supreme Court ruled in District of Columbia v. Heller, the National Rifle Association sued the city of Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., to overturn an ordinance banning handguns and automatic weapons within city limits.
The same attorney who challenged the district's ban, Alan Gura, filed the Chicago lawsuit.
The Supreme Court set the stage for a historic ruling on gun rights and the 2nd Amendment by agreeing today to hear a challenge to Chicago's ban on handguns.
At issue is whether state and local gun-control ordinances can be struck down as violating the "right to keep and bear arms" in the 2nd Amendment.
A ruling on the issue, due by next summer, could open the door to legal challenges to various gun control measures in cities and states across the nation.
The case also will decide whether the 2nd Amendment protects a broad constitutional right, similar to the 1st Amendment's right to free speech or the 4th Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Have you checked the compatible Cydia tweaks list of iOS 11.3.1? Do not confuse for Electra is not a public utility at this instant. But probably it will be soon. So we are here today to let you know that there is a pre broadcasting of CoolStar about the tweaks list that will unwrap for their future breakout. Once Electra iOS 11.3.1 will become publicize, you will capable to try out these. Here we go.
Cydia tweaks of Electra iOS 11.3.1
So it is glad to let you know that CoolStar already unveiled a list of tweaks that users will be able to count with the release of promised Electra update. With this proclamation, we can guess that it is confirmed to offer the third-party Cydia kit that they brought for previous 11.1.2 Electra arrangement. So it is amazing as an early surprise reminding that the tool release is not that far.
However, the newest Cydia package has been noted as applicable for 11.0 – 11.3.1. Moreover, with the unveil that they posted on Twitter, it has been called as the project Repo-unclutter. It seems Modmyi, BigBoss and Zodttd that will filter those ones with iOS 11.0. When you will encounter Electra iOS 11.3.1, you too will capable to count those.
When will Electra 11.3.1 update?
With all current standings, it is important to be acquainted with the certain time frame of release Electra 11.3.1. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to forecast. But we believe we do not have to remain more than few days. Though CoolStar has a deeper project, we are thankful for their hard work in aim at a public breakout.
By the way, we want you to realize that the release date is shady. And we are yet to realize some points once it releases to the spectators.
What are the recent updates?
If you were noted that iOS 12 as well slowly getting updated, the third beta arrived at developers a few hours back. So Apple welcome registered developers to test out the OTA or else respective IPSW. As we are the beginning of July, there are few further weeks to go. Though it seems 11.4.1 as well move further, there is no any significant reason to draw it.
If you missed the report we posted about two demonstrations of iOS 12 jailbreak, here is briefly. So there were KeenLab and 360 Vulcan Team with respective demos. While we were excited for Electra iOS 11.3.1, it became a huge bang. However, two demonstrations displayed that the beta 1 of iOS 12 has security holes that even support jailbreaking. But in my point of view, we may not be able to continue them while developers work hard to patch every single instability for a better frame.
Final words
By the way, it is glad to share with you that CoolStar has been approached to the final stages of Electra iOS 11.3.1. So the recent proclamation of Cydia tweaks list is a result of that. Within few further days, we will encounter the utility. Those who are with iOS 11.3.1 will be able to enjoy through jailbroken features thanks to the utility.

Proof child obesity will go down with sugar reduction
Reducing the sugar content of certain foods in the United Kingdom by 2020, in line with UK government policy targets, could cut child obesity and related illness, and save the National Health Service (NHS) in England £286 million (RM1,529mil) over 10 years, suggests a study published by The BMJ on Apr 17, 2019.
But these benefits could easily be lost if the targets are not fully met or if the programme leads to unintended changes in consumer or industry behaviour, warn the researchers.
Childhood obesity affects one in 10 children aged 4–5 years and one in five children aged 11–12 years, while the proportion of obese adults in the UK has risen from 15% in 1993 to 26% in 2016.
In 2016, the UK government set out plans to work with food manufacturers to reduce the sugar content of certain high-sugar products, such as cereals and confectionery, by 20% by 2020.
The strategy consists of three sugar reduction approaches: reformulating products to contain less sugar, reducing portion size, and shifting sales from high-sugar products to low-sugar alternatives.
But the potential health impacts of these measures have not been studied.
So, a team of researchers, led by Ben Amies-Cull at Oxford University, set out to estimate the impact of this strategy on child and adult obesity, related diseases and healthcare costs.
Data from the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2012-13 and 2013-14) were used to simulate a scenario where the strategy had been successfully implemented in England.
Changes to child and adult weight were then estimated, and their impact on disease burden and healthcare costs were modelled.
Several assumptions were made. For example, baseline diet would remain unchanged (apart from the portion size or sugar content of target food items) and there would be no unintended changes in eating patterns or products (e.g. individuals substituting foods due to differences in taste or manufacturers changing non-target nutrients like salt).
The results show that fully achieving the government's sugar reduction targets could reduce the number of obese 4–10-year-olds by 5.5% of the obese population, 11–18-year-olds by 2.2% and adults (19–80-year-olds) by 5.5%.
Calorie intakes could be cut by 25 kcal/day for children and 19 kcal/day for adults.
In adults, this could lead to 155,000 fewer cases of type 2 diabetes, 3,500 less cases of cardiovascular disease and 5,800 fewer cases of bowel (colorectal) cancer over 10 years.
However, they warn that the potential health benefits of the government's strategy could be lost if any of the three sugar reduction approaches fail to have the intended effect.
The limitations of this modelling study include the reliability of the survey data, which may have led to an under-estimate of the effect.
Nevertheless, the researchers say their findings remained largely unchanged after further analyses and conclude that the sugar reduction strategy "could be an effective means of reducing obesity-related illness and costs, although targets must be met".
In a linked editorial, Dr Annalijn Conklin from the University of British Columbia in Canada says the research makes "an important contribution to the current knowledge of the population benefits of public health collaborations".
Future studies could assess whether the government's programme is also an extension of "business as usual", she writes, and thus, whether the potential beneficial effects modelled by Amies-Cull and colleagues would be attributable to the programme or to a pre-programme trajectory.
Finally, although the programme may help to contribute, "a complete solution to the challenge of improving diets and reducing the burden of nutrition-related chronic diseases requires a multi-sectoral package of policies, which also includes the UK sugar tax, other fiscal tools and hard regulation for improving public health," she concludes.

Recorded conversation between murder accused played to jury
THE woman accused of playing a role in Amanda Quirk's murder has admitted she hit her flatmate "full in the head" a few months before she died.
"I hit Mandy yesterday," Rachel Narelle Smith, 41, told her jailed boyfriend during a conversation Queensland Corrective Services had recorded.
"She p***** me off. Punched her full in the head. I kinda kept going and going ... 'cause everything's building up inside of me."
She p***** me off. Punched her full in the head. I kinda kept going and going ... 'cause everything's building up inside of me.
A jury yesterday heard the conversation in Brisbane Supreme Court, where Smith is facing trial after pleading not guilty to murder.
In a conversation six days earlier, Smith told her boyfriend Ms Quirk had "been bitching behind our backs again and saying sh**".
"Enough's enough. I'm sick of it," she said. "She f****** says, oh you know, make ourselves at home and you try to do that. We f*****' had this conversation the other day about f*****' talking sh** behind our backs. She said 'Oh I won't do it no more'. And she's f*****' doin' it again."
Ms Quirk, 32, was "brutally tortured and beaten to death" in her Booval home on March 31, 2010.
Christopher James Swan, 39, has already been jailed for life over the murder and dumping Ms Quirk's body in forest in northern NSW.
Smith has pointed the finger at Swan but the jury must decide if Smith played a role too. The prosecution closed its case yesterday and the defence will open its case today.

It was the toughest time in the banking industry that Rick Hoevenaars recalls with perhaps the greatest fondness.
The recently retired Libro Credit Union chief financial officer saw many changes in 46 years in banking, starting as a 15-year-old student.
But in the early 1980s, the economy was mired in recession with interest rates topping 21 per cent, a crippling blow to lenders and financial institutions, especially a small, London-based credit union, then known as St. Willibrord, that worked with small business.
That downturn taught Hoevenaars, 61, lessons about the business, and Libro, that he will never forget, he said.
"We learned . . . to make sure we are prepared for any possibility, no matter how remote," he said. "If rates spike, we know we can handle it, we can weather it."
St. Willibrord dealt with the crisis by working directly with clients, putting away the balance sheet and taking a more personal tone to identify issues and plan solutions for each client.
"We know our clients, and we were able to work with them about their business cycles," he said. "We rode the storm out with them. We were able to invest in the long term."
To help with financial modelling needed to work their way out of that mess, Hoevenaars turned to what was then cutting-edge technology: a personal computer.
They weren't available in London, so he drove to Waterloo to pick one up.
"It was sophisticated budgeting I was doing with pen and paper," he said. "When computers came out, I said, 'We gotta get one of these.' "
Hoevenaars, born and raised by Dutch immigrant parents in London, was still studying at Catholic Central secondary school when he started at the credit union part-time. His contractor father, who banked at St. Willibrord, helped him land the job that launched his career.
"I grew up in that organization," he said with a laugh.
"I never had any intention of working in an office. I had my Bronze Cross, my lifeguard (qualification), but I fell in love with the place and the . . . staff embraced me," he said. "It was genuine and it took hold."
After high school, he was offered a full-time job assisting the credit union's chief financial officer, he said. He went on to become a certified general accountant and also attended the Queen's executive program.
"When I first started, I had fingers in all aspects of the operation," he said. "As we got larger, out of necessity, we became more departmentalized."
But Libro strove to keep that "personal connection" with its members, or owners, he said. "Every person who walked in the branch, you knew. As you get larger, that is less and less, but I think we did a pretty good job."
He recalls starting in a small office on Albert Street, a one-storey branch with administrative offices at the back. It expanded on to a second floor, then moved to Central Avenue, which remains a branch today. Its administrative office is on York Street.
"People took me under their wing. I had great mentors along the way who wanted to teach me, encourage me," Hoevenaars said.
Libro, which had 15 staff when he started, now employs nearly 700 at 31 branches, with two new outlets, including one near east London's Western Fair Farmers Market, about to open. Its assets have grown from $6 million to roughly $4 billion.
"Libro has always had a very strong management and executive team. We had a very clear (growth) strategy," he said.
In retirement, he plans to remain on the boards of Central One, an agency representing credit unions, and the Co-Operators insurance firm. He's also on Western University's audit committee.
But much of his free time will be spent with his wife, three children and four grandchildren, with a fifth due in August, he said.
"That is truly a labour of love," said Hoevenaars.

Episode 007: Are you in control? Do you need to be?
Monika and Jan Zands lead you into the final week of "Your Way is not the only way." Their purpose is to spread love on the planet by recognizing people's uniqueness, and this week the topic Monika and Jan are diving into is "Control."
Control is usually related to desire, but things do not always turn out the way you want. What is the most desirable outcome? How can we surrender? What does Control mean to you? How do you judge something? Sometimes you consider an experience to be the worst, and then time shows you that the experience had a meaning to you, and turned out to be just perfect for you. The miracle of life is really to understand that the way we see things is only a minimum expression of the plan that is set for us; by letting go, we are surrendering to the universe's flow. Where are you controlling? When do you think the "control" is needed? Love is usually behind the control, but it might not be the best way to achieve what you want. That "should," that you project on others around you, and how things are supposed to happen, that is what control feels like.
Practice along with Monika and Jan, by giving a list of areas that you think you can control, expose yourself, defy your certainties. Jan himself opens up to express how he perceives the control, even during the session while talking about control. We all experience this tendency to control, feeling that our worth is in the outcome we were expecting to follow. Freedom is to find the opportunity that is presented to learn from. There is nothing that you can do entirely by yourself; you cannot exist without the interaction and relationship with others and everything around you. So pretending that control is something you can really execute, is actually an illusion.
In a world of co-creation, we are giving up control. How do we balance control, in order to surrender, but at the same time have a purpose and a mission, in a world of co-creation? Monika gives the listeners a breakdown of the process from Control to Surrender: Life does not have to be lived "either or." Listen to your inner dialogue for a clue to the outer work. Ask yourself daily, "Am I Free?" and if you don´t feel free in a certain area, then, "What is needed?" Seek for other ways of doing things.
Everything that is happening is supposed to serve you, live each experience fully, learn from them! We often feel exhausted because we have the feeling we are doing it all by ourselves, and that is for the illusion of being in control. Let go! Surrender!

classically cool boys room reveal
I have to admit I'm slightly embarrassed that it took over six months to finally share C's big kid room.

So after many, many months, it's finally here – the Classically Cool Boys Room Reveal!Continue reading "classically cool boys room reveal"

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Darby Conley's previous two books, Blueprint for Disaster and The Get Fuzzy Experience were New York Times best-sellers!
People read cartoons for different reasons. Some are taken by the visual element...Then there's the people who want it to be funny...Darby gets both." --Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert
Get Fuzzy collections are flying off the shelves. And Bucky Katt's Big Book of Fun, the second full-color treasury of the outrageous antics of Bucky, Satchel, and Rob, is sure to attract more readers of the strip voted Best Comic Strip of 2002 by the National Cartoonists Society.
Behold the world of Get Fuzzy. Meet Bucky Katt, the Siamese smart-ass who coexists under protest with Satchel Pooch, the sweet-tempered shar-pei/Lab mix, and Rob Wilco, the human who keeps the refrigerator stocked.
Each day in newspapers around the world readers visit the place where cats, dogs, and humans meet and learn a little bit more about each other-not necessarily by choice. By turns hilarious, poignant, and even human, Get Fuzzy is the smartest, funniest comic strip in newspapers today.

June 22 – R.U.R. by Karel Čapek (1890–1938). Karel Čapek was a prolific 20th century Czech writer who wrote journalistic pieces, short stories, and plays, including R.U.R., which stands for Rossum's Universal Robots. ?apek's brother Joseph coined the term "robot," and a loose translation from the Czech is the word "slavery." In the play, set in a robot factory, the robots are incited to revolt. R.U.R. raises questions concerning the individual and his role in a democratic society. It was first produced in 1921, and is considered an early science fiction classic.

I Mormonified the question. Hope no one minds :).
Dude, I only have ONE example of this, but boy is it a doozy.
I'll try to be brief
{and it will be really funny for you
to watch me try to do that...
as it is NOT my strong suit}
We moved to Orangeville, Utah when I was in 6th grade.
I had been in middle school in Monroe before that, but Emery County school districts had "Jr. High" instead of "Middle School" so after 3 months of the "good life" in middle school, I got demoted back to elementary school for another year.
This, I did not love, but could handle.
I made friends really fast.
In small, coal-mining towns like this, it's rare to have anyone move in or out. Everyone is just kind of there for life... for the most part. So a new girl was pretty exciting. Boys wanted to be my boyfriends, girls wanted to be my best friends, and I had 2, 3, and 4 friends to play with everyday after school. It was wonderful. I really liked EVERYONE too. Life was good.
Then, my family went out of town, and I missed two days of school. When I came back, it was like the flipping Twilight Zone.
I walked up to a group of my girl-friends during morning recess and said "Hi!" and without a word, they all turned their backs and walked away from me. It stopped me cold. My heart dropped down into my gut and my nerves lit up and sent tingles all over my body until I felt numb. I was pretty sure I was going to throw up.
As the day went on, I found that it wasn't just a small group of 4-5 girls,
NO ONE would talk to me.
Not a single person.
I was so confused.
I knew for a fact that I had not gossiped or said ANYTHING bad about anyone else, so I didn't understand what I could have done.
Once we all got settled down in class, I pulled out a notebook and scribbled a note to one of my "best" friends and I said:
"I don't know what I did, but I am so sorry.
Please tell me what I did.
If someone said something bad, they are lying
cause I have never ever said anything bad about you."
PLEASE tell me what I've done.
I'm sorry."
I folded up the note, passed it to her.
Without even looking at it,
she crushed it in her hand,
got up, walked over to the garbage can,
and threw it in.
I wanted to DIE.
I wrote another note to a different friend, passed it,
and watched as it went straight into the trash can again.
I repeated this process several times,
until I realized I was completely alone.
It was hopeless.
How could I even make things right
if no one would tell me what I did wrong?
I know it might sound petty,
but when you're 11/12 years old a new in town,
it. is. your. worst. nightmare.
I begged my mom to let me stay home from school
to let me home school
to let me go to the school in Castle Dale instead...
but she didn't want me to run away from my problems.
{And seriously, I'm glad she didn't. I'm much stronger for having endured them.}
In the morning, I would eat breakfast,
stick my finger down my throat and make myself throw up,
and then tell my mom that I couldn't go because I had the flu
and the proof was in the toilet.
But mom caught on pretty quick, and back to school I went.
{She would hug me and love me and talk to me and give me strength...and I know it must have killed her. It would kill me to see Kort go through it. But she didn't help me run away.}
It went on for WEEKS.
I was completely isolated.
Well, not only isolated, but mistreated,
given dirty looks,
teased by boys who were
every bit as bad as the girls...
you name it.
One day after school, I got a horrible bloody nose.
{I got them often and they were MAJOR.}
My doctor told me that they were mostly due to the super-dry Utah air
and he said I should get into a hot, steamy shower to help get them to stop.
So I did.
But it didn't stop.
Blood just kept pouring and pouring and pouring out of my nose.
After about 30 minutes,
I started seeing little white spots
and my ears started ringing,
and my vision went black...
and then I thought,
"Oh sweet mercy, I am going to bleed to death right here and now!
Thank HEAVEN, this is it. I'm going to die, and it's not
'my fault' so it's okay, and I don't have to do this anymore!"
I don't think I could remember a time when I was happier.
I was blanketed in peace and so excited to just. be. done.
Then, the bleeding stopped.
And I started to cry.
And then I cried harder.
And then I started hitting myself in the face,
{um, like, HARD}
willing it, BEGGING it to start up again
But it didn't.
So I sat there on the shower floor and sobbed.
Um, that was probably my lowest point... just a guess though.
A week or two later, my mom called me into her room and said that one of the girl's mothers had called her and she said that this girl came home and broke down into tears and told her mom what had been going on and that she was sorry and miserable, and couldn't bear to do this to me anymore and that she wanted me to come over and she wanted to apologize.
Wow, I don't even think I can tell you what that felt like. "Good." or "Really good." or "Unfreakingbelievable." would be a start. So I went over to her house, and she hugged me and cried. And I asked her, "So, what did I do?"
Her answer?
"You didn't do anything."
It turns out that a girl who had pretty much been the "queen bee" {or whatever they might be calling it these days} before I had come to town was a little threatened by my sudden popularity. So, when I wasn't at school, she gathered a group of girls up and told them not to talk to me because, well, "it would be funny." Then everybody got in on it. Then, when they realized how fun it was to feel all sorts of powerful and see me grovel and feel miserable and insecure... they decided to keep it up for, oh you know, a couple of months. Awesome.
Also, I suspect a lot of those kids went along with it because, hey, "WAY better for it to be ME than THEM!" Can't say that I blame them. 6th grade is a scary stinkin' place!
Anyway, the girl who "came clean" went back to school on Monday, and with confidence that was AMAZING for a 6th grade girl, she announced that treating me this way was ridiculous, and she would no longer have any part of it.
And shock of all shockers, EVERYONE followed.
I will love her forever for doing that.
A few weeks later, the girl who had started all the trouble in the first place rallied a few other girls and tried to do it all over again. But, my friend stayed by my side this time, and I told them they could go shove their "friendship" up their little bums...
And when they realized I wasn't going to take it anymore
- or care at all about whether or not they liked me -
they gave up the game for good.
But that was messed up.
We've all grown now.
I don't hold any grudges.
I mean, if people held beliefs about me based on "who I was" at varying points throughout my life, well, that would sure stink for me. So, I allow for the fact that others have grown, just as I pray that others will allow for the fact that maybe, just MAYBE I have grown as well. Thank heaven that most of us are no longer our sixth grade selves...
Whether we were mean, petty, selfish, or just terribly insecure, it's nice to have it all behind us, yes?
But yeah, that's my true story of the time when someone treated me like {poo}. And then got a whole lot of other "someones" to treat me like {poo} right along with her.
The end.
Happy eighth day of truth to ya!
I grew up, married the man of my dreams,
had two ridiculously cute babies (so far)
and adopted some crazy-great-dog-a-logs from the animal shelter.
So yeah, in retrospect, I'm glad the bleeding stopped cause, ya know
6th grade DOES end.
And so does high school.
Isn't that like, the BEST news ever?}
P.s. Totally read the next post.
It's funnier-er.
And will hopefully make up for all of the depressingness.
{And yes, I know that's not a word but this is my blog and I do what I want yo!}

I decided to do a little experiment to be conscious about how little (or how much) trash I made at a conference I recently attended. Here's how I did...
Tag: Environmentally Friendly
4 Less Obvious Ways To Reduce Trash
Over the past year I've grown more and more interested in how we help our environment. If you've ever tried doing this, you may have encountered the "overwhelming sense of doom" that I did. Then I discovered a few bloggers that showed me how much we as individuals can do to help the environment more so than just using our own shopping bags at the grocery store and reusable water bottles.
The Purge: Closet Edition
Its that time of year again! I'm guessing I'm not the only one that has an annual closet purge, and honestly, I usually bask in it. There's something that feels so good to me about decluttering and starting fresh, but this year was different.

As part of building our community based ability to respond to and prevent SGBV we provide specialized training to KWO project staff and leaders who are responsible for social welfare work in the Karen community. All of our staff and leaders are Karen indigenous women and most have been or are currently refugees. We also proactively strengthen coordination among local SGBV stakeholders. We work with the Karen Student Network Group (KSNG) in the drafting of legal support and protection mechanisms for women and children respectively, which will be brought forward to the Karen National Union (KNU) for their consideration and we anticipate their adoption.
Project Background:
The people of Burma have been struggling with poverty and underdevelopment due to the long-standing armed conflict within the country. The political instability has affected all people emotionally, socially and economically. The women and girls in and from Burma, especially ethnic women, have experienced exceptionally high levels of violence and totally inadequate responses by the justice and security systems they have access to.
In Karen State violence against women is perpetrated by armed Burmese soldiers from the state army. In addition we recognize that SGBV occurs in our community, most commonly husbands against wives and other intimate partner violence. In the refugee camps women are safe from the violence of soldiers but are still victims of violence perpetrated by men in our own community, and by Thai nationals. Domestic violence is common in both the refugee camps and in Karen State, this is due to prevalent social and cultural norms within our community. For instance, most of the people in our community think that domestic violence is a family issue and therefore that is not appropriate for those outside the family to intervene. So in most cases any interventions that do take place are then too late to prevent severe trauma from occurring. As people are aware the community justice response system is not strong, which adds to some women's reluctance to report. Responses from governance structures in the refugee camps are insufficient, and are even poorer in Karen State.
KWO has been the leading community-based provider in the refugee camps and Karen State of care, refuge and awareness to vulnerable women and children -including victims of SGBV- since we were established more than 60 years ago. Our capacity to provide care depends on the resources we have available, nevertheless women in trouble in the Karen community have always been given shelter in the homes of KWO members and leaders. Since 2001 in the refugee camps KWO has run the 'Safe Houses' project, aiming to formalize and expand provision of services to victims, and to enlarge our capacity to prevent and respond to cases of SGBV.
Due to ongoing armed conflict in Karen State it had been difficult to provide systematic support from KWO central level to our sisters in Karen State in relation to cases of SGBV. However in 2015, because of slowly improving political conditions in Burma, we managed to pilot a 'Women's Protection' project in some parts of Karen State with funding from the International Rescue Committee's (IRC) Project for Local Empowerment (PLE). Although there were many challenges in the implementation of this work, the KWO lead in each site recognized the importance of this service provision and requested that the project continue. In 2017 we combined the projects -'Safe Houses' in the refugee camps on the Thai/Burma border, and 'Women's Protection' in Karen State- into one to maximize resource and cost effectiveness, to allow for smoother project management and to ensure the sharing of expertise.
With 18 years' experience of running the safe houses in the camps KWO is the lead provider of services for women victims of SGBV. We have built up a strong program in this time which includes manuals and education materials for staff, as well as resources we have made that support awareness raising activities in the community. From the beginning of the project KWO has fought for better services, coordination and protection for women in the camps, and has done this proactively in Karen State too. Advocacy is a key component of our work, from accompanying women wherever they need in order to access legal or health services, to working with a wide network of women's organizations in Burma, to pushing for a change in the laws that affect Burma, and for adoption of policies in the justice system of the Karen National Union.
In 2018 KWO contracted an external evaluator to conduct an evaluation of the safe house project in the refugee camps. The aspiration of this was to get some ideas on project development, and to ensure that lessons learned from the camps were being effectively applied in Karen State. The external evaluation concluded (based on feedback from all the key participants) that KWO's safe house and women's protection work is essential in the camps, and even more so as social problems like suicide, alcohol and drug abuse and crime continue to rise because of the increasingly challenging circumstances.
KWO is an ethnic women's community-based organization that empowers women so they have capacity and power to solve their own problems and participate in decision-making that will affect their lives.

text: Fun fact about me: I just found out last week that I am anemic. Does that surprise me? No. I hate red meat and fish and don't love leafy greens. But since I don't want to feel like crap the rest of my life I guess I have to incorporate iron into my diet. Pinterest was obviously the first place I looked for recipes to inspire my new heathy eating habits and one particular thing kept popping up: Smoothies. They are fast, efficient, delicious, and easy. What more could a girl ask for? Check out these recipes I found to help you with new ideas or just get your green juices flowing.

Car Shopping & the Ill-Equipped
It is time for a new car…fortunately and unfortunately. Most people grunt in common misery when they hear this terrible news. Only a psychologist would twist themselves into a pretzel over how to approach this so I thought you might enjoy the hilarity of the story. It makes me think of an ad for t-shirt I almost bought that said, "Keep Talking: I'm diagnosing you." Yes, the fear is real people, psychologists can't help but make sideline assessments when dealing with some people, but I bet you do, too. For me, it is usually a wondering kind of process, I wonder if they have any awareness about things they do or say… It has been a while since buying a new car and I haven't missed the process. If you are in the retail business of cars, I apologize for the negative contribution to the negative stereotype, but I am not sure how to represent it better. The problem is a human problem more than a car salesman one, ultimately, a lack of "mental equipment," so to speak. It makes me wonder if the industry attracts something of the sort? My Lexus RX 400h is a 2006 and has over 200,000 miles. We bought it new, so we have most definitely gotten our money's worth and it has been a great car. So great, I will probably buy the same one again. But in an effort to do well-rounded research, I looked at another brand (*shudder*). Here is where my professional life messes up the personal. The research shows that women pay more for a new car than men, which puts me on instant alert. The majority of car sales are done by men (typically white men). It is a very male-dominated field and I have plenty of personal experiences being treated poorly at a car dealership to support the research. So, going into this with an open mind was just about impossible. But hey, it was worth a try. Trying to silence the skeptic is tough, especially when this much money is at stake. Like the good researcher, I spent some time online looking at the competition, the expert commentary, and the reviews. Trying to be mindful of my carbon footprint, I wanted to get another hybrid, and it doesn't hurt that I have loved my current one so much. There is another car in the same category...Read More

Fumbled Hearts by Meagan Brandy
Series: Tender Hearts #1
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Release Date: September 21, 2017
Buy Now: Amazon
He's the persistent playboy who refuses to walk away. I'm the impassive new girl with nothing left to give.
Things are about to get complicated…
After months of refusing, I finally agreed to make the move to Alrick Falls. My family thought it was best – that a new scene would be good for me – and I was sick of having the same conversation.
So here I am, and the plan is simple. Smile through each day and avoid her at all costs.
It's perfect.
Until the cocky quarterback comes into play.
The last thing I want is his crooked grin and dark brown eyes focused on me.
Yet here he is, constantly in my space, pushing me, daring me to care. Telling me what I think and feel, as if he knows.
He doesn't know anything. And I plan to keep it that way.
Holy Toledo! I cannot believe that this was Meagan Brandy's debut novel because it was unbelievably AMAZING! I am still kicking myself in the butt for waiting until now to finally dive in (having previously purchased it). The moment I started reading this one, I just knew that there was no way I was putting it down until I reached the very end. Let's just say that was exactly what happened. Thank goodness for Easter Break! Also what a better way to spend Kalani's (main character) birthday then by reading her and Nate's story.
There are so many freaking things to LOVE about this incredibly captivating story, but I think the fact that it gave me all the FEELS was hands down the BEST part! My heart ached and I was left anticipating each and every move Kalani and Nate made. There were times that I wasn't sure if this book was going to end with a happily ever after, but when it came I was left with my heart swelling with joy.
Meagan Brandy is an extraordinarily talented storyteller and I cannot wait to fall in love with more of her writing as the years go by. I am seriously on the edge of my seat in anticipation for Parker's story now!
Readers, if you a story that will give you ALL THE FEELS then look no further because Fumbled Hearts is the book for you! Pick up your copy today and fall hopelessly in love with Kalani and Nate's beautifully captivating and emotionally heartfelt story!
About Meagan Brandy
Meagan is a candy crazed, jukebox junkie who tends to speak in lyrics. Born and raised in California, she is a married mother of three crazy boys who keep her bouncing from one sports field to another, depending on the season, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Starbucks is her best friend and words are her sanity.

text: final thought PRESSURE TO PERFORM Adrian Barker of RF Code highlights the need for a reliable data centre. T he amount of data created each day is now at an astronomical 2.5 quintillion bytes. What is even more astonishing is that 90 per cent of the world's data was created in the last two years. This data is created by our use of social media, streaming films online, Internet banking – almost every daily task involves data. The increase in data creation in such a short space of time means the data centres powering this growth are under increasing pressure to perform. Data centre downtime has always been costly but even more so now daily tasks are so dependent on an uninterrupted service from these facilities. The move to the cloud and the impending boom of connected devices and sensors to power the Internet of Things means our need for reliable data centre performance is greater than ever. The damage of downtime The cost of data centre downtime is more than just the financial implications of fixing failed equipment. The damage to brand value, reputation, business and productivity can be just as substantial. Delta Air Lines' outage in August is reported to have cost $150m, including customer refunds for 48 cancelled and delayed flights. The data centre outage was only for five hours but this was enough time to cause disruption to 2,000 flights and damage the company's revenue and reputation. Delta had initially stated the issue was due to a power cut but Delta's CEO later revealed the cause was a lack of back up power for some crucial servers. With organisations increasingly creating complex hybrid IT environments by combining owneroperated data centres, colocation and cloud technologies, there is unfortunately more room for error. The latest Ponemon Institute survey revealed that there has been a 38 per cent increase in downtime costs since 2010 and maximum downtime costs have increased by 81 per cent - as data centres become more business critical, a data centre failure has become even more expensive. This is due to hardware costs, data loss, legal costs and the negative effects to the brand's reputation. And with data creation continuing to grow, the costs of outages will likely continue to increase. More data, more problems There are many factors that can affect data centre and service availability. For example, a spike in data centre traffic due to a peak shopping period or cultural event can cause data centre equipment to work overtime. This can cause a large fluctuation in the thermal output of equipment which can cause even previously effective cooling systems to become drastically overburdened. Another effect is overheating if efficient cooling is not in place, and if this scenario continues over a prolonged period of time, equipment will be damaged or fail. The same outcome can occur if there is a lack of capacity available: demand for service suddenly increases, but without sufficient availability the data centre is unable to deliver. Just look at what Pokémon Go's developer Niantic's expectations were for the game's server load against the reality – the company was 50 times out. This meant a lot of disgruntled players and a lot of downtime. Luckily the game's popularity was so great that people were willing to persevere but it could have very easily caused many people to stop using the App altogether. That said, data centre managers need to be cautious of overprovisioning and the purchasing of unnecessary services. Working with a hybrid IT environment can easily lead to overprovisioning if there are no up to date records of capacity and equipment across all facilities. It has been known for companies to have boxes of brand
