Are happy kids dumb kids?
DID you live a coddled childhood filled with unbridled playtime and few reminders of the harsh real world? You might have been dumber as a result.
Children coaxed into a jovial mood performed worse on a simple test of geometric shape recognition than kids put in a dourer mood, report Simone Schnall, of the University of Plymouth, UK and colleagues in a recent issue of Developmental Science.
You may wonder whether these psychologists hate happy kids or just fun, but their conclusion is supported by other research. For instance, adults in good spirits do worse than sad adults on similar tests.
To uncover the same effect in children, the researchers, thankfully, didn't resort to insults or mind-altering drugs.
Instead they played one of two classical tunes to 10- and 11-year olds. Fifteen kids heard Mozart's jolly ditty Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, while the other 15 had to suffer through Mahler's doleful Adagietto. Previous research suggested these songs put kids in happy and sad moods, respectively, and Schnall's team confirmed that by surveying the kids.
While listening to the tunes the children played a game where they hunted for a specific geometric shape, a triangle joined to a rectangle, for instance, within a picture. The merry Mozart kids took noticeably longer finding the shapes than the children who were forced to listen to Mahler.
Not content with proving that happy pre-teens are daft, the researchers aimed their hypothesis at 61 six and seven-year olds. Instead of hearing classical music, the kids watched three movie scenes.
One, from Disney's Jungle Book, features the singing and dancing of an ebullient bear. A neutral scene from The Last Unicorn shows a knight reaching a castle. The sad scene comes from The Lion King, another Disney cartoon. Even this reporter, who watched the movie as a teen, shed a tear when Simba mourns his father's death.
In the same shape recognition test administered after the movie scene, the happy kids proved slower at picking out shapes than those who watched the neutral Last Unicorn or the lugubrious Lion King scenes.
Schnall's team offers several explanations for their results. Mood could directly alter cognitive thinking, and in a happy state people have little desire to question what they see, while "sadness indicates something is amiss, triggering detail-oriented analytical processing," they write.
Alternatively, happy people could be so caught up in their personal high that they ignore details or they distract themselves from the task at hand.
This could be hand-waving - it seems just as likely that Mozart and The Jungle Book are more distracting than Mahler and The Lion King. Because the kids tended to ignore the music played before the test, the researchers dismiss this possibility, but anyone who's taken a six-year old to a Disney film knows that the catchy songs don't vanish from their brains in just a few minutes.
But there's some encouraging news, at least, for cheerful kids and their parents. Children in a good mood perform better on tasks that demand creative and flexible thinking, previous studies show.
So the take-home message may be - contrary to popular opinion - that happy kids end up as artists and poets, while sad and angry children become accountants.
The paper's last sentence seems directed toward parents of these future artists: "Artificially inflating a child's mood may have unintended and possibly undesirable cognitive Source: Newscientist.com

Coaches and players studied game film during the week before the Super Bowl. indd 32 10/15/14 5:05 PM AFL LIVES ON The AFL introduced some new ideas to football. Some of those ideas stuck even after the merger. The AFL was the first league to put players' names on the backs of their jerseys. The two-point conversion was a staple of the AFL. The NFL later adopted the play in 1994. The AFL also was the first to put the official game clock on the scoreboard. Before then, only the referee knew how much time remained in a game.

North Huron Council chooses eSCRIBE for Paperless Agendas
Thursday December 10th, 2015
Preparation of meeting agendas and minutes have historically been manual processes demanding a significant commitment of time from administration staff. As the scope of municipal activities continuously expand, the size of agenda packages increase accordingly. The printing of agenda packages and minutes represents a substantial cost in both paper and toner, as well as environmental concerns.
In an effort to streamline pre and post Council meeting administration while also reducing printing costs and waste, Township of North Huron staff evaluated various Meeting and Agenda Management software suites. Implementation of eSCRIBE Meeting and Agenda Management software was the resulting recommendation to Council at the December 7th 2015 meeting.
eSCRIBE Meeting and Agenda Management software will assist the Township of North Huron in numerous areas. Primarily, the suite will provide an efficient means of assembling and distributing agenda packages which in turn unlocks staff time to address other important initiatives. eSCRIBE also eliminates the need for paper agendas as all agenda packages will be distributed electronically to Councillor iPads or via the Township website for the public. This not only removes the cost of printing agenda packages but is also an environmentally friendly solution.
In addition to these great benefits, full agenda packages will be available to the public on the Township of North Huron website. One of many steps that North Huron is taking to ensure transparency in municipal administration and operations.
The Council of the Township of North Huron recognized these benefits and approved the implementation of eSCRIBE along with the purchase of iPad app upgrades and iPad tablets.
Staff are set to begin the implementation process immediately with a tentative go-live date to be set for early 2016.

What Lies Beneath?
You have been hurting for weeks; maybe months. No amount of massaging or pills has made a difference. Your head aches. Or, the pain might be traveling down your leg or arm. What is going on?
These are health problems that need an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. They may also need an x-ray to understand what is happening below the skin level.
An x-ray can help differentiate between less problematic mechanical problems and more serious conditions such as tumors, arthritis, or bone spurs. Effective treatment will depend on what your doctor finds on the x-ray film.
At Roberts Chiropractic, we utilize our x-ray machine not only for the complex problems that arise, but also for other injuries where an x-ray is required.
Dr. Scott has 20 years in the x-ray field and is competent to diagnose, manage, and create chiropractic treatment plans for patients in the Rogue Valley.
So, with all the advantages an x-ray offers why the bad press? A set of full spine x-rays at Roberts Chiropractic will deliver the same amount of radiation a traveler would receive from flying across the U.S. in an airplane. Not so bad, considering the benefits.
A chiropractor not only uses static x-rays, but also functional views—those with the patient in a posture that simulates their pain and joint function. This allows the function of the region to be studied.
Here is a good example: a twelve-year-old girl had experienced two weeks of neck pain. The average practitioner would treat the problem conservatively for 4-8 weeks before making a decision to do take an x-ray.
However, because x-rays were taken immediately, it was discovered there was a tumor eating away the front portion of two of her vertebrae. Immediate referral made the chiropractor a hero. The tumor was removed in San Francisco with great results.
Another example: a patient was adjusted for four weeks with some improvement. However, when x-rays were taken in a bent position, another segment was sited that was not moving. The doctor changed his adjustments, resulting in immediate release.
Are you baffled by your unrelenting symptoms? Make an appointment at Roberts Chiropractic and let Dr. Roberts provide a competent evaluation of your problem.

Decision: Matters Concerning the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore
23 September – 2 October 2013 (Geneva, Switzerland)
The General Assembly of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) renewed the mandate of the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC) for the 2014-2015 biennium, and agreed on a schedule of sessions and a work programme for 2014. Under its renewed mandate, the IGC will continue to expedite its work with the objective of reaching agreement on a text(s) of an international legal instrument(s), which will ensure the effective protection of genetic resources, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions. The IGC is requested to submit the text(s) of the international legal instrument(s) to the 2014 General Assembly which will, with a view to finalizing the text(s) within the biennium, take stock of and consider the text(s), progress made and decide on convening a Diplomatic Conference. The General Assembly took note of the possibility for members of the IGC to request studies or provide examples to inform its work, noting, however, that such examples and studies were not to delay progress or establish any preconditions to the negotiations.
The IGC is expected to meet in February, April and July 2014. IGC 26, in February 2014, will be a five-day session on genetic resources, and is expected to be preceded by an Ambassadorial/Senior Capital-Based Officials meeting to share views on key policy issues relating to the negotiations to further inform and guide the process. IGC 27, in April 2014, will be a ten-day session focusing on traditional knowledge and then traditional cultural expressions. IGC 28, in July 2014, will be a three-day cross-cutting session, addressing all three themes, which will take stock of progress made and make a recommendation to the General Assembly in September 2014.
Despite agreement on the IGC mandate and other issues including the convening of a diplomatic conference for the adoption of a revised Lisbon Agreement on appellations of origin and geographical indications in 2015, Member States were unable to agree on WIPO's programme and budget, including the establishment of new external offices, and some other issues. An extraordinary meeting is expected to convene in December 2013, to conclude outstanding items before the end of the current biennium.

Christchurch, Twizel, Oamaru, Dunedin, Queenstown, Hawea, Twizel, now Christchurch again.
It has now been a month since our flight landed in the Land of the Long White Cloud, and I have not once updated my Facebook, Wechat, Instagram and all the other things I used to spend countless segments of my days on. Getting online in this country has been surprisingly inconvenient and expensive, and I've been saving online time only for booking accommodation and other necessary activities. Being offline and rationing data hasn't bothered us as much other than some freaked out family and and friends, and the odd occasions we need to print a page or two. The children have adapted to the somewhat organized nomad lifestyle, home has become wherever we are for the night. A pebble, soft sand on the beach, the odd shapes of driftwood, chilling clear lake water, snow on the mountains, farm animals and sprinting wild rabbits made their new points of interests. Lack of toys and internet has lead them to invent games involving sticks, rocks, muddy puddles and whatever else at hand. They make up conversations with each other pretending to be kings, pirates, lions, elephants, bunnies and sometimes mum and dad. The anxiety from moving around has subsided and a new level of energy has taken form, allowing them to take long treks and stumble through tall grass. However when that energy finds no outlet for example when we are on the road for over 2 hours or when a cold rainy day keeps us inside, they literally bounce off the walls.
On our first night in Pukaki we took them up to the lake and had a picnic dinner. We wrapped them up in blankets and waited for the stars to come. Little boy asked: "Is this our home now? We live outside?" We told him yes. He smiled and reached his arms tight around us, then closed his eyes.
He was surprised to wake up the next day in a bed and indoors.

As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer.
Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
A successful purchaser will also be required to pay a Buyer's Administration Charge of 1.2% of the purchase price subject to a minimum fee of £1,500 including VAT (unless stated otherwise within the property description in the catalogue) by debit card or bank transfer.
You are bidding on the basis that you have made all necessary enquiries, particularly in respect of lots the auctioneer has not inspected or had initial sight of tenancy details, and have checked the General and Special Conditions of Sale and are satisfied that you fully understand their content. Please note that some legal packs may contain additional fees (such as the requirement for the seller to pay the vendor's legal fees).

261 Prymno
This minor planet is named after an Oceanid from Greek myth. She is one of the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys listed by Hesiod. Nothing else is known about her. Feel free to project your own ideas and beliefs onto the shape of Prymno; only the shadow she cast is left now, and you won't hear that complaining.
The symbol of this asteroid is the symbol for Oceanus, a large circle with a wave crossing it at the bottom, with a capital Greek letter Π (Pi) inside it.

Why do you believe what you believe? …
About anything?
Do you ever think about that?
I don't suppose you do. At least, not very often. But you know, every now and then it's good to ask yourself that question.
Why do I believe what I believe?
And when you ask yourself that question … take a good look at your answers … take a good look at the reasons you give yourself.
Most of the time … you probably believe things because you know they are true … and they are real … and you know that.
But sometimes, if you're not careful, you could find yourself believing something because you're too lazy to find out the truth.
Or maybe you will believe it because someone said it, and you don't take the time to check the facts and find out if it is true.
And then there is something we all have to be careful of. Sometimes we believe what we believe because we're too proud of what we think. We're proud of what we hear ourselves say.
We can make all kinds of excuses for what we believe … or more often we make excuses for what we don't believe.
We can make up all kinds of reasons for what we believe … or why we believe what we believe.
But if you're really honest with yourself … you'll have to admit that there is another reason why you believe certain things, why you don't believe others. Like a lot of other people, you believe things because you want to. — That reminds me of a humorous little sign I saw once. It said … "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up."
We all have that problem … And sometimes it's not easy to honestly look at the answer to the question, Why do I believe what I believe? Especially, if it's a question like this one …
What do you believe about Jesus Christ?
You believe something about Jesus, don't you? Everyone does.
But I wonder why?
Why do you believe what you believe about Jesus?
Is it because of what someone told you?
Is it because you have some kind of proof that what you believe is true?
Or is it because that is what you want to believe?
Do you know?
People, today, will tell you a lot of different things about Jesus, and about God. But how do you know what is right? How do you know what you know should believe?
Do you just pick something that sounds good to you?
Do you pick out something that sounds comfortable?
Do you pick what you want to believe?
Or do you look for some kind of evidence — something that says this is the true answer?
Shouldn't you have some kind of proof for what you believe?
Well, it would be kind of difficult, wouldn't it, if we all had to prove everything for ourselves, before we could believe, about anything?
Take for example, the distance between Cairo and Beirut in a straight line. Have you ever measured it? Do you know how far it is? … About 365 miles … or 590 kilometers? That's pretty close, I think. No I haven't measured it myself … but I believe that is very close to the distance between those two cities. Within a few miles. Or New York to London … about 3500 miles … or 5600 kilometers (also within a few miles)
Why? How can I believe that? How can I know that is true? … Because other people have measured it, and I believe the evidence that others have gathered, first hand, and shared with me. I looked at a map … and measured the distance there. The publisher of this map has a very good reputation. They are known for being very careful and accurate about such things.
So I can believe what they say.
And that is one way to tell if it save to be able to believe something. You can usually believe what others have seen, and tested, and experienced … because they have seen the evidence for themselves. Someone has actually measured the distance between Cairo and Beirut. So I should be able to believe their information on the map.
If we were in a courtroom … the witness we would be most likely to believe would be the one who was there … the one who actually saw what happened.
In science we believe the testimony of a scientist who has made tests, and measurements, to prove that certain knowledge is a fact.
So let's go back to the question I asked you a little earlier. Why do you believe what you believe about Jesus Christ?
Have you examined the testimony of the witnesses?
Or, are you believing what you believe about Jesus because that is what your friends say? … or a teacher … or even your parents?
It is good to trust your friends, and to respect your teachers and your parents … But have you ever examined any of the evidence for yourself? Have you ever looked at the testimony of an eyewitness … someone who knew Jesus Christ personally … someone who wrote down what he observed and what he heard, because he actually saw Jesus for himself and heard him speak and wrote down what he said?
Or is that something you don't want to do … because you're afraid you might have to change what you believe?
Think about it.
Do you really want to know the truth about Jesus?
If you have a Bible available … read what is written there. You see, the people who wrote down the story of Jesus that we find in the Bible actually heard Jesus speak those words. They saw what he did and how he lived. They listened to his teaching. They watched his life. So when you read in the Bible what they have written about Jesus, you can be sure it is the truth.
And ask God to help you understand … and to know what is true.
If you think I might be able to help you … if you want someone to talk to by way of e-mail … then I'd be most happy to hear from you, and to try and answer your questions.

Emotions are dramatic… But we can decide how to deal with them.
The series continues where we discuss the traits of the BEST teams and players: the 7Cs!
Today we talk about being Confident. We say there are two types: feeling confident which is based on emotions and goes up and down on a whim versus true confidence which is an inner belief that you are capable of great things.
We also discuss…
What it looks like when players and teams are truly confident:
- They're loose and having fun
- Their communication is strong
- They can bounce back from failure more quickly
- There is a bigger focus on the team
What it looks like when they aren't confident:
- Body language: slumped shoulders, head down, sluggish
- They get quiet and there's less communication
- The snowball effect is more likely to happen after an error
- Seem timid or unsure in their approach
Ways coaches could hurt their confidence:
- Yelling across the field when they make an error
- Embarrassing them in front of others
- Our own bad body language
- Making it seem like we don't trust them
- Putting too much focus on things outside of their control
Ways we can help build true confidence
- Help them recognize their negative self-talk
- Teach them how to switch to more positive/productive self-talk
- Help them reframe when they're not feeling confident
- Give them proof of why they should believe in themselves
How being confident can help players with:
- Believing in themselves
- Recovering from mistakes
- Getting stuck on the uncontrollables
- Getting in their own head
- Dealing with pressure and expectations

Whycocomaugh march for justice
Around 70 people took to Main Street in Whycocomagh to march for justice in the death of 22-year-old Cassidy Bernard.
Led by drummers carrying hand drums, adults of all ages and children clad in red and carrying red dresses gathered outside the Whycocomagh Education Centre at 10 this morning, and made their way down Main Street across the bridge to the Skye River Trail.
Cassidy Bernard was found dead in her We'koma'q home in October, with her healthy infant twin girls located nearby.
Other than to say the death wasn't a random act, RCMP have been tight-lipped about Bernard's death, continuing to refer to it as suspicious rather than a homicide.
The RCMP continues to ask that anyone with tips regarding the case to contact them or Crime Stoppers.

Page 2 of 3
In his late teens, Bangerter's band played at an anti-nuclear encampment in southern Utah where Martin Sheen, other celebrities and hundreds of everyday people orchestrated their own arrests to protest nuclear power and testing. Bangerter's family believes his older sister's leukemia was caused by nuclear testing, but her claim for compensation and care was denied.
In 1986, at age 16, Bangerter wed his girlfriend of a few months. They're still married, parents to four children.
But tensions in Fuck, Shit, Piss were growing—as they were in the greater punk scene—as Bangerter and his stepfather drifted toward the skinhead current while his two other bandmates followed the anti-racist current, whose patience with Nazi beliefs and iconography was wearing thin.
The divide in the punk scene predated Bangerter. In 1982, the Dead Kennedys recorded the prescient song "Nazi Punks Fuck Off," a retort to openly racist bands.
At a 1987 Fuck, Shit, Piss show, Bangerter wore a swastika armband onstage, which amounted to taking sides in the neo-Nazi vs. anti-Nazi divide. The anti-Nazi members of the band and audience wouldn't take it. A riot ensued.
"One side was yelling, 'White power, white power!' The cops showed up," Bangerter says.
He knew what he was doing: He was blowing up and burning down his whole scene, the way a militant punker would, and the divorce would be symbolized on his face. Then widely known as Johnny Bangs for his haircut that made his bangs jut from his head like a unicorn horn, he cut off his namesake bangs in favor of a buzzcut. Bangerter had found a new muse.
A year prior to Fuck, Shit, Piss breaking up, Bangerter had met an older man who got him a construction job that paid $1 more per hour than he'd been making. The man invited Bangerter, 17, to a meeting of an anti-government tax-resistance group Committee of the States, founded by anti-Jewish activist Col. William Gale.
As Bangerter was wooed by the far-right anti-government scene, he began recruiting young people from the punk scene, pulling them into his meetings and organizing them under the name Vegas Skinheads. "They were a bunch of guys with shaved heads who, months earlier, had mohawks," he says.
Asked what made him so angry—his family's exposure to radiation, his terrible experience in Las Vegas public schools, his family torn apart and run out of town by moralistic Mormons?—he sort of shrugs. It's all of those things, and none of them, he says—even Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" segments made him hate the government.
It's far more clear what led him to racism. As Bangerter tells it, the racists like Aryan Nations were the only militant anti-government people he found. He'd grown contemptuous of left-leaning groups who, in order to stop nuclear power plants, lay down in the road to be arrested, rather than provoke revolution. He'd tired of the punks, he'd tired of liberals. Johnny Bangs' future was in right-wing insurrection.
Christian Identity Skinheads
Still working in construction, Bangerter began his rise as a skinhead leader.
He estimates that in the late 1980s, there were maybe 300 skinhead-identified people in his community, many who saw him as a star in the movement. The Las Vegas Review-Journal already referred to him as a "notorious" skinhead leader.
During the gaming commission's investigation, the militant Jewish Defense Organization came to protest the hotel in March 1989. About 20 of Bangerter's skinheads showed up to support the casino, chanting, "Heil Hitler." According to news reports, a fight broke out between protesters, and nine people from both sides were arrested.
The day after appearing on national news with his 500-name hit list, Bangerter's home was raided by law enforcement. "They kicked in the doors, they had a search warrant, [FBI agents] were accompanied by Las Vegas Metro Intelligence," Bangerter says.
One cop figured out they were a bunch of 15- to 20-year-old punks manipulating the media to get attention. He seemed to want to give them an out.
"A cop tells me, 'You've got 500 counts of solicitation of murder, if this is a hit list,' " Bangerter says. " 'If this is just a hate list, you can go on hatin' whoever you want. So is this a hit list or a hate list?' I said, " 'Well—it's a hate list.' "
Later, Bangerter appeared as a militant racist on The Montel Williams Show, and his sister and mother appeared on Geraldo for a show about women in the racist movement.
But a number of Bangerter's actions were neither violent, racist nor anti-Semitic, like Operation Burning Bush. Upon the invasion of Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm, Bangerter and his crew subverted a federal program promoting letters of support to members of the military. For 25 cents, you could send a letter addressed to "any serviceman." Bangerter and his band printed and mailed thousands of fliers portraying President George H.W. Bush being burned at a stake and asking the soldiers to revolt. Bangerter says that their P.O. box was seized, and they received threatening letters from the Department of Defense, but no legal charges ever resulted. Newspapers nationwide carried the story.
At this point, the Las Vegas home of Bangerter, his wife and kids, and his mother and stepdad was surrounded by chicken wire, and they'd built a defensive bunker in their front yard. They had been the targets of multiple drive-by shootings—Bangerter remembers that Las Vegas residents reported hundreds of residential drive-by shootings each year during this time.
In 1991, race riots broke out across the country. They also struck Las Vegas, which prompted Johnny Bangerter to relocate. Sensing it was a moment of revolution and chaos—something like end times brought on by race war—his family and followers headed for La Verkin, Utah, where they hoped to organize a militia and defend themselves.
Lion in Zion
Upon arriving in Utah in 1991, Bangerter's Vegas-formed groups Las Vegas Skinheads and Christian Identity Skinheads became the Army of Israel. He continued his work in construction, as did some of his friends. Others worked in restaurants, but they all became mini-celebrities of reality-television caliber in small-town Utah. "We caused a big scene in Utah in '91 and I played on my last name. I knew my last name in Utah held significance, so I used it," Bangerter says.
The Army of Israel attended city-council meetings, published a newsletter with 150 subscribers, organized a small skinhead rally in Salt Lake City, and disrupted an October 1994 meeting in St. George that had been called to discuss issues of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
"Everything and everyone seemed rehearsed, as if they were going through the minimal motions to guarantee news reports," says Dave Nelson, a longtime Salt Lake City LGBT rights activist who was at the meeting. "If that was the muscle of Utah white supremacy, I was left unimpressed."
Bangerter traveled to Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992, where federal law-enforcement officials were seeking to enforce weapons charges against anti-government isolationist Randy Weaver. After a 10-day standoff at the remote property in northern Idaho, they ended up killing Weaver's wife and child; a U.S. marshal was also killed.
Even though he took loads of ammunition to Idaho, Bangerter says he only peacefully picketed, supporting Weaver and taunting federal officials. Having known Weaver prior to the standoff, Bangerter says, he spoke with Weaver during the standoff and urged him to end the raid.
Bangerter also traveled to Waco, Texas, in 1993, to support the Branch Davidians religious group in their standoff with federal agents and the Texas National Guard, which resulted in the deaths of the Branch Davidians' leader, David Koresh, and 76 other Branch Davidians after a 51-day siege.
The Branch Davidians helped make him more skeptical of racists, Bangerter says, as some of the Aryan Nation-aligned groups refused to stand in solidarity with the Davidians due to conflicting doomsday politics: Koresh stood in solidarity with the Zionists of Israel, the white supremacists' archenemies.
The Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians standoffs would catalyze the nascent militia movement, making an increasing number of Americans question the government's authority and violent tactics.

INSIGHTS: For the past few months I have begun to really feel very definite shifts and changes, they are intensifying. During this time I have begun to feel my body shifting or recalibrating. A feint quiver within. Some days, its more noticeable and stronger.
For many of us, so much is surfacing all at once. And it has to be dealt with. Appreciate the lessons however they are presented. Accepting and allowing the process of 'letting go'. I have experienced days of feeling shaky yet strong, nervous yet aware, weak yet in my power, sad but accepting, yet understanding that I am 'dying to the old'……and 'I Am becoming…'.

Can an Employer Delay Designating FMLA Leave to Extend an Employee's Benefit?
Today's Q&A covers a common question surrounding FMLA designation. At times employers choose to deliver generous leave benefits that extend beyond those mandated by FMLA (i.e. beyond 12 weeks). But does that mean that the protections of FMLA are extended as well?
Question: Can an Employer Delay Designating FMLA Leave to Extend the Employee's Benefit?
Answer: No. Once an employer identifies that an employee's leave is for an FMLA qualifying event, that employer must begin charging the employee's FMLA leave balance.
Even in the circumstances when an employee wants to use another paid fringe benefit first, the employer cannot delay FMLA leave until after the employee exhausts his or her paid fringe leave.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released an opinion letter on March 14 2019, stating "The employer is responsible in all circumstances for designating leave as FMLA-qualifying and giving notice of the designation to the employee."
An employee may certainly elect to use a paid fringe benefit to during FMLA, but the FMLA entitlement will run parallel to the use of the paid fringe. For example, if an employee elected to take two weeks of paid time off at the beginning of their FMLA qualifying event, the employer cannot delay charging the employee's FMLA entitlement for two weeks.
The DOL states, "Nothing in the FMLA prevents employers from adopting leave policies more generous than those required by the FMLA. However, an employer may not designate more than 12 weeks of leave—or more than 26 weeks of military caregiver leave—as FMLA-protected."
Furthermore, once an FMLA-eligible employee experiences an FMLA-qualifying event, neither the employer nor the employee may decline the protection of FMLA leave.

Big Tappy
From WiKirby, your independent source of Kirby knowledge.Jump to navigationJump to search
Big Tappy[conjectural title] is an enemy in Kirby Mass Attack. It is similar in look to the smaller Tappy, but has spikes on its lower half. When it spins, it creates a sandstorm that will obscure the player's view. Once the dust is kicked up, Big Tappy may turn upside-down, giving the Kirbys an opportunity to attack.

Right now, we are living in a moment that we once could not imagine. When we were looking forward 35 years ago, we were looking at the future through the eyes we had then. We thought that daily newspapers would still be influential and important ways that we would get the news. We thought that houses would look a lot more streamlined and so would cars. We thought that people would still make sales calls from door to door or in person at businesses. We thought that contraception was so convenient and cheap that huge families would certainly be a thing of the past. Most people would not have guessed that their TV would somehow be able to broadcast hundreds of stations. Most people would never have guessed that personal computers would be smaller than the typical briefcase and have the ability to act as a combination of personal librarian, work station, and personal entertainment center or that email would replace personal letters and cards. Most people would never have guessed that telephones would become a lot smaller than a pack of cigarettes and more ubiquitous, rendering phone booths and even land lines at home obsolete.
We used to think it was a long time if people lived into their 60s and 70s. Now people live well beyond that. We used to think we would retire in our 60s, but now many people do not have any plan to retire. We used to think that old people outlived their ability to enjoy sex by the time they retired. There are so many aspects of our future that have exceeded our expectation as we find ourselves living in it now.
So if we look around now and see how our lives are, can we even project into the future and imagine what they might be like 20 or 30 or 50 years from now?

I want to make a shout out to the Shark Finatics at the Green Chimney School who were a part of the recent Ocean Hero contest from Oceana and whose teacher Robin Culler, I had the privilege to meet while she was in LA to accept her Ocean Hero Award on behalf of her and her students. They have adopted over 12 sharks, and pledge to educate people all over the world to protect what is becoming an increasingly risky future for the poor old shark.
Don't know what shark fining is?
Watch this.
But a warning that it is a gruesome practice of cutting off the sharks fins while still alive, and then chucking them overboard so that they drop to the bottom and drown. Hard to believe a practice like this exists, but it does...mostly to add the fins, which are high in mercury, to soup. Oh yeah, and the fins are tasteless......
Ahhhhh Nestle...maker of many things plastic. Mainly water bottles and other plastic packaging that ends up in...our oceans.
A snorkeling mask that I am sure is missed.
Hands Across the Sand is this Sat..
Want to show solidarity against offshore oil drilling?
Check out their website, find a Hands Across the Sand meeting place near you and join up against oil drilling. Wouldn't it be amazing if we make the goal of a continuous chain along the entire US coastline?? Could happen, come along.

On May 24, 2012, Sen. Bob Menendez confidante Donald Scarinci flew to Florida to have a meal with and solicit campaign contributions from two men.
Raul Alarcon, the head of Spanish Broadcasting System would eventually donate $100,000. Menendez's co-defendant, Dr. Salomon Melgen, wrote a check eight days later for $300,000. Menendez and Melgen are accused of engaging in a bribery conspiracy.
The defense says of Scarinci's Florida visit, if you're facilitating a bribe, do you invite other people? That was referring to Alarcon's presence at the restaurant. That was one of the points brought out Wednesday as Scarinci returned to the witness stand.
Tuesday, Scarinci testified that it was he, not Menendez, who solicited the contributions. His testimony tried to create distance between Menendez and the large donation from Melgen, which would later be doubled.
Wednesday morning, on cross-examination, the government tried to say there is no distance between Menendez and his friend of 45 years, Scarinci.
Federal Prosecutor Peter Koski asked tough questions. Scarinci answered them with thinly disguised contempt. The defense called the Reverend Reginald Jackson as its next witness. He said in his 20 years as executive director of the New Jersey Black Ministers Council, "I found [Menendez] to be forthright and honest, a man of integrity."
Jackson is now Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church for the state of Georgia. He flew up from Atlanta to give five minutes of testimony. The government didn't ask him for a thing.
The last witness of the day was Robert Kelly, Menendez's deputy chief of staff for operations. Kelly prepares the senator's annual financial disclosure report.
Menendez is accused of failing to report as gifts a disputed number of free flights on Melgen's private jet over seven years.
"Did the senator take the filing of this financial disclosure report seriously?" asked Menendez defense attorney Abbe Lowell.
"Yes, he did," replied the loyal staffer.
For the remainder of the day, Kelly withstood a withering cross-examination from federal prosecutor Monique Abrishami. The trial resumes Thursday.

Rick Sackheim has officially joined Epic Records as executive vice president. The veteran promotion exec arrives at the Sony Music label from Def Jam Records (and previously Island Def Jam), where he worked for 12 years, rising to EVP of promotion in 2014.
At Epic, the Los Angeles-based Sackheim reports to president Sylvia Rhone and is tasked with overseeing all aspects of the label's promotion initiatives.
Said Rhone of Sackheim's appointment: "I've always admired Rick's work. He's the consummate label executive and music mind. His breadth of knowledge encompasses not only promotion, but an understanding of what makes the business tick. He's proven himself to be a visionary time and time again. He's an amazing addition to the senior executive team and will undoubtedly foster the evolution and future growth of Epic Records."
"It is a true honor to work for the legendary Sylvia Rhone," added Sackheim. "Epic Records has rich history of amazing artists and has become a real home for music within the Sony family. I look forward in working with Sylvia to continue driving our music, artistry and label to the next level!"
The Epic Records roster lit up radio and streaming in 2017 as hits by DJ Khaled, Future, French Montana and Travis Scott all reached the upper reaches of the pop charts. This week, Epic artist Camila Cabello has the No. 1 album in the country, according to BuzzAngle Music, as well as the top song with "Havana."
Sackheim's hiring signals increasing stability in the company's senior management ranks which saw some turbulence following the May 2017 exit of former chairman Antonio L.A. Reid.
Sackheim has previously held promotion positions at Restless, Arista Records and Jive Records, prior to his arrival at IDJ.

New Drugs (Propafenone, tramadol, metolazone) Added to QTdrugs Lists on CredibleMeds®
March 01, 2018 at 7:05 PM
March 1, 2018
We wish to inform all that we have added the following three drugs to the QTdrugs lists.
Tramadol, a medicine for pain, has been added to the Possible Risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) category due to evidence that it is associated with QT prolongation when taken at clinically recommended doses.
Propafenone, a medicine used to treat heart rhythm disturbances, and Metolazone, a diuretic, have been added to the Conditional Risk list because they have been associated with TdP under certain conditions.

Posted by Dcollins on May 2nd, 2018Thank you for this update that you have added Tramadol to the list. I think other drugs should be added like Fentanyl, hydromorphine, Morphine, etc.

Posted by Suzieqtk on Jun 12th, 2018Thank you for updating this. I had Tramadol in the past. I felt horrible. Now I know why! It's a never ending cycle. Best thing is to never put anything except your betas in your mouth (or proven safe)!! :)
Posted by rwoosley on Jun 12th, 2018Thanks for your suggestion. We follow these drugs closely and have not found convincing evidence that meeting the standard we have set for each list (See ADECA process). If you have evidence that we might have missed, we would be grateful if you could share it with us. Ray Woosley, AZCERT

Cordless power nailers straddle the line between pro and DIY; they are more pro than DIY due to the cost and the limited amount of finish work that DIYers take on.
Cordless nailers are "third-tier" tools because they aren't the first tools you buy (hammer, saw, straight edge, etc.), aren't second level (cordless saws, reciprocating saws, etc.), but are luxury, nice-to-have third level tools, like wet tile saws or twin blade saws, you buy when you've got a little money rattling around your pocket.
Pneumatic Tool System Usually Not Right for Average DIYer
If you have ever experienced the frustration of hammering something hundreds of times over, then you have longed for a compressed air power (pneumatic) nailer.
Traditionally compressed air nailers have hoses, tanks, and compressors. All of this cumbersome stuff is not conducive to easy DIY remodeling. Professional builders and remodelers use compressed air nailers every day and are accustomed to dealing with them. Not only that, compressed air is a universal system that the pros use to hook up to other tools: sanders, impact wrenches, grinders, reciprocating saws, and more.
Instead of buying a whole pneumatic system, you may want to purchase a standalone electric nailer, and there are two types: canister compressed gas and lithium-ion battery-powered.
Compressed Gas Cordless Finish Nailers: Faster Repeat, Longer Run Time
When you cut the air hose, that doesn't mean that compression as a means of driving nails entirely goes away. With some nailers, replaceable gas canisters fill up a chamber. The chamber is right above the piston (or firing pin).
When the electric charge from the battery ignites the gas, it explodes and moves the piston and drives the nail.
Paslode and Hitachi are two manufacturers that use this technology.
Fast nail repeat time
Longer run time throughout the day
Smell of the compressed gas
Replenishing the gas canisters
Lithium Ion Battery Cordless Nailers: Easier But Shorter Run Times
The other variety of cordless finish nailers dispenses with the gas canisters. They use a flywheel technology powered by lithium-ion batteries.
These battery-only cordless nailers fire 16 to 18 gauge nails as long as 2 1/2 inches.
No gas canisters to deal with
A larger pool of nailers to choose from
Battery drains faster because it is the sole source of power
Heavy to handle
