This book provides a structured approach to the initial assessment, resuscitation, differential diagnosis and short-term management of common on-call problems. It also provides an overall guide to hospital practice and acute clinical skills. It is designed to help junior doctors and senior medical students acquire a logical, practical and efficient approach, which is essential for problem-based learning and acute management.
Clinical problem-solving is an essential skill for the doctor on call. Traditionally, the diagnosis and management of a patient's problems are approached with an ordered, structured and sequential system (e.g. history-taking, physical examination, and review of available investigations) before formulating the provisional and differential diagnoses and the management plan.
In an emergency, doctors proceed concurrently with resuscitation, history, examination, investigation and definitive treatment. Stabilisation of the airway, breathing, circulation and neurological disability must occur in the first few minutes to avoid death and disability.
A 'complete history and physical examination' can take 60 minutes or more to complete. However, while on call this is not possible, as unnecessary time spent on a patient with a relatively minor complaint may deny adequate treatment time to patients who may require resuscitation.
This book provides a focused approach to many clinical problems in order to increase efficiency and improve time management.

I finally lost my Electric Picnic Virginity. A bit like the real thing, I'd been watching glamorous people apparently having a great time for years and was feeling a bit left out, even though I could have disposed of it handily enough anytime simply by showing up. But then, you hear rumours about the mess, and wonder if it's not all it's cracked up to be and if you'll just feel dirty and regretful afterwards.
I was also a bit irritated by the weak relationship there appeared to be between attention and attendance. You'd think half the bloody country was at it but 50,000 people isn't that many. Also, half of them appeared to be media types who were all going for free. I'm a media type. How come no one asked me to go on a freebie?
But enough was enough and if no one was going to ask, then I'd just have to pay for it. Fortunately my husband was in a compliant mood and bought the tickets when they were released 12 months ago. So there we were last week, with the weekend upon us; nothing ready and neither of us entirely sure if we were Festival Material at all.
We checked out the cost of the fancy camping and declared it exorbitant. If we were going we'd have to slum it. I hadn't slept in a tent since I was 17 and had been quite reconciled to that being the sum total of my camping experience. Still! This was all part of the adventure!
We'd bought a tent last year for the kids for the back garden. For them it was high-spec. For us – sufficiently comfortable. I dropped round to The Brother who displayed his camping accessories in his impressively organised hotpress and selected some luxurious looking sleeping bags, a rucksack and a head torch. Nevertheless, by Friday nerves had kicked in and we chickened out of Night One. We'd go early on Saturday. I used the extra time to make notes from early photos appearing online. Girls had make up mirrors! Oooh – good idea – and threw in mine.
The Festival Look required a colourful mini-dress and glam boots. I pulled out that gorgeous hippie silk mini-dress that looked amazing when I bought it in San Francisco ten years ago and never had the nerve to wear since. This was its moment! My Dubarry boots completed the "practical but fashionable" look.
Then in a generous mood we decided to bring the Middle Child. The 13 year old was technically barred as teenagers weren't supposed to be let in – and we weren't sure he had the disposition anyway. There was no way I was bringing a 5 year old despite cute pictures of little children frolicking in mud. But the 12 year old is a free spirit and doesn't complain much. So I sent him on ahead with Himself. I followed at a more leisurely pace when they had negotiated the stressful business of picking a campsite, which they assured me involved walking for about 5 miles.
Ah yes – the walking. There would be lots of walking. That was the first lesson of Electric Picnic. From the car park to the campsite. From the campsite to the arena and back again. Miles and miles.
At one point as we waded through the mud the poor child said it was like some forced march from World War 2. Humourlessly I reminded him we weren't walking a thousand miles across a continent, like child refugees today, and we knew there'd be a burger and chips at the end of it. Though I did judge fellow marchers for their prolific littering. The middle-class middle-aged brigade used bins. The millenials fecked everything over their shoulder and sat in their own garbage outside their tents. That was a culture clash.
The other thing that took us by surprise is the sheer size of it. The number of stages, events, services and food outlets was overwhelming. I'd say we tried 5% of what was an offer. It was humbling to see so many hundreds – thousands – of performers involved in so much creativity. Gradually my heart, hardened from domestic drudgery, crushed ambition and bourgeois constraints, softened and the light of music and art lifted my spirits.
I adore music and dancing, but for some reason I've never really pursued it. When confronted with it, music consumes me, but I can't say the word "gig" without feeling like an imposter. In my single life I bought cool music as prescribed by my cool friends to play when they came round. But when I spontaneously bought Moby's CD one of them joked that if I'd finally gotten round to Moby, it had to be all over for him. It was too. He was never heard from much again.
So on the programme I recognised Madness, The Pretenders and Duran Duran but honestly, most of the line-up I'd never heard of before. This would be a voyage of discovery. And so it was. Apart from the joyous energy of Madness and Chrissie Hynde, I ended up bopping along and laughing my head off to some hard core rap group with a huge fat black man and a white guy who looked exactly like James Corden rapidly learning the lyrics (very simple as they chiefly consisted of "F*** the Motherf***) and shouting RTJ! RTJ! (It transpired they were hip=hop duo Run the Jewels.)
When I copied the hand thing they were doing the child pleaded with me to stop. "Mammy! That's a black gang signal!" Incidentally, when not being mortified by his mother, he had discovered the recycling scheme by which every plastic cup or bottle was worth 20c. This brought out the entrepreneurial zeal and work ethic of every child on site. He earned €130 over the two afternoons he was there. If we'd brought the others we could have paid for the whole thing.
The other revelation was the crowd. I was wildly impressed with the girls. The effort that went into their outfits, hair and make up was extraordinary. I have no idea how they pulled it off given the conditions, but it showed their wonderful spirit and you'd like to think it won't be crushed out of them.
But I kept bumping into people I knew. It turns out half the bloody country is at Electric Picnic. Cousins and neighbours. Regular people! At one stage I pointed out a fella in a cap with a great beard and on-trend shirt to my husband: "I think I know that guy. Is he an actor?" He studied him for a minute and said; "That's our plumber." And it was!
So am I an "EP" convert? Will I be there next year? Maybe. With a caveat. Yes, but I'll be checking in to stay with my friend who lives 20 minutes away. No more camping.
There's no doubt it's great fun, but you really do need to be fit for it. On Saturday night the rain and wind were filthy. I'd pulled on my jeans under my dress for the cold, and getting into my sleeping bag swapped the dress for a fleece and whipped off my bra. After a warm but fitful sleep interrupted by the howling wind, we woke up to discover a design flaw in the front door of our double tent. The wind had pushed in so much rain my rucksack was soaked as were most of my clothes – most disastrously the bra and spare knickers!
All I had dry was a t-shirt that accentuated my lack of support and a mini-skirt.
Worse, when I got hold of the makeup mirror I shrieked. The humidity had turned yesterday's sleek hair into straw. How was I supposed to go around a Festival bra-less, with bad hair and yesterday's knickers bumping into people I knew and surrounded by thousands of unfeasibly well-groomed young women?
All I could do was arrange my bag across my chest to disguise my low-slung bosom and decide that an authentic festival look could incorporate looking like crap. It also meant there was no way I staying Sunday night.
It meant missing Duran Duran but I felt I'd lived enough to make it worthwhile. By 10pm that night I was in a hot bath scrubbing off the filth and so happy to be at home. My legs ached. Everything ached. But I felt alive. And wildly relieved that experiences that seemed out of reach and only for others, could be mine. You don't have to wait to be asked. Just show up.

A combination of plummeting advertising revenue and the public increasingly turning to the Internet for non-local news could mean a shrinking newspaper role for The Associated Press, long a stalwart of daily print reports.
In recent months, a handful of daily newspapers have sent cancellation notices to the AP, which is a nonprofit collaborative owned and operated by its approximately 1,500-member news organizations.
Although the AP's board of directors approved a rate restructuring in July that could save member newspapers a total of up to $21 million a year, some publishers believe that the service's varying cost – estimated at about $143,000 per newspaper, according to a report in Forbes – is too high, says Rufus Woods, editor and publisher of the Washington-based Wenatchee World.
"I'm not sure the value we get from the AP is worth the amount of money we're spending," he tells PRWeek. "I have an obligation to use resources widely, and we're going to be a smaller newspaper page-wise, and the AP is going to be less of a component. We're going to be much more local... and with the economics, we're going to have to focus on what we do best."
The World also shares its content with a handful of other Washington state newspapers, Woods adds. Earlier this year, eight of Ohio's top newspapers formed a content-sharing program called the Ohio News Organization. Just this month, the Newark Star-Ledger ran a print edition without AP content, instead opting for reports from its own staff, national newspapers such as The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, and other New Jersey dailies, according to Editor & Publisher.
Although some newspapers might be unhappy with the content the AP is focusing on, more are likely upset about the wire service's cost, says Lou Ureneck, chairman of Boston University's journalism department.
"Newspapers are seeking to reduce expenses in all areas and are going so far to offer buyouts to experienced people," he says. "They are under extreme pressure to cut costs, and one place where they have to look is at the AP assessment, which can be a very big part of the newsroom's budget, depending on the paper, running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and sometimes more than that."
However, while dropping the wire service might be attractive to cost-cutting news organizations, they will be unable to find a similar package of state, national, and international news, Ureneck adds.
"The AP is the 800-pound gorilla; it's a massive worldwide organization, and so many people rely on it because it's so capable and so broadly based," he says. "It would be hard for any newspaper to find an equivalent replacement for the AP. They could find pieces of it – coverage of the statehouse or coverage of a particular part of the country – but the AP offers worldwide, daily and hourly news coverage, and there's nothing quite like that."
An AP spokesman declined to comment. But AP executive editor Kathleen Carroll told attendees of the Associated Press Managing Editors conference this month that she hopes the organization and its member newspapers can work out their differences during the two-year withdrawal period, according to an AP report.
Only a small number of newspapers have recently sought to leave the AP, Sue Cross, AP's SVP for US media markets, told newspaper industry trade title Editor & Publisher last month.
"The last time we had a big rate structure change was in 1984, and we had cancellations then," she said. "My impression is that the [rate change] is a very low percentage. The positive feedback has outweighed the negative."

So why is the stack so vital?
Firstly, what is the engineering stack? A marketing and advertising engineering stack is a group, or stack of engineering merchandise, that marketers arm them selves with to strengthen their marketing and advertising activities. With no them, the simple procedures become substantially extra tough, time-consuming, and in the prolonged operate, will value the enterprise extra.
Allow me demonstrate in extra depth
A very essential illustration would be an e mail marketing and advertising platform. Back a lot of decades back when I started out out in marketing and advertising there were being quite a few 'eblast' merchandise on the sector. A simple application that authorized you to import a text file record of e mail handle, they utilised a simple SMTP services to approach the sending of the e mail. The e mail content was made applying a third social gathering HTML editor. When the record had been organized and you were being joyful with the content (and you had used a ton of time tests, tweaking and configuring the various settings) you would hit mail, then sit back again, hope for the very best, waiting around for the phones to quickly start off ringing off the hook (this in no way transpired).
Today issues are very various. Email marketing and advertising platforms this sort of as Pure360, Dotmailer, Mailchimp, Marketing campaign Observe etcetera, etcetera. All arrive loaded with options and studies to make e mail marketing and advertising simple and clever. Nearly all have integrations with CRM platforms like Sugar and Salesforce. Automation tools make it possible for marketers to funnel qualified prospects by means of campaigns (we all adore a very good funnel) and make warm qualified prospects that can be fed back again into the profits approach. So, in this article you can see a simple stack forming for just a person component or the marketing and advertising activity – CRM > Email > Analytics
If you are wanting at your 'fully integrated' marketing and advertising technique, in addition all of the various media at your disposal, there are a lot of transferring parts and loads of complexity included in measuring, monitoring, and refining your activity in purchase to maximise on spending plan and the success of the campaigns. Of course, the depth and complexity will vary considerably relying upon if you are a B2B or B2C, although there are also commonalities in conditions of the engineering out there. For the sake of this piece, I'm actually focussing the on B2C marketing and advertising stack for firms that are both of those 'clicks and mortar' (yeah I did), or just have a bodily retail outlet, lodge, gymnasium, or venue. I'm also focussing on the manifestly large omission (and my desire in the subject) which is WiFi engineering. Far more on this shortly.
Who cares?
In a study by Korn and Ferry, organisational advisory agency, 27{ccb74ed6c37e6edba3ebbf6d38909cae843f065abf5e28e96eea8f305e77e44f} (that's virtually a third in marketing and advertising spin) of CMOs were being involved with remaining ahead and taking benefit of digital engineering tendencies. And for the rest of us, we could not want to stay ahead, we are possibly just joyful having the tools to do the work. And there are tools for just about each and every part of the work. Some are a provided, some are totally free, and some value a ridiculous amount of funds. What it in the long run arrives down to nevertheless is – will it strengthen performance, minimize prices, make a return, and hold you safe and sound in your work a little whilst longer? I know I have been nervous in the earlier immediately after convincing a business to commit £50k in a superior web page, with a truckload extra intelligence and a extra productive on-line buying approach. A technique devised with nothing extra than an 'I'm rather absolutely sure this will work' technique. This is just why we ought to care. If we are expending, we need to understand the returns and we need to know that the time and effort and hard work used is doing work, otherwise, we could as perfectly just pack up and go dwelling.
Far more about stacks
If you have a quick Google session on this subject, you will uncover a relatively conventional record of solution forms. Here are a several (like everybody else I'll possibly have some glaring omissions):
- CRM systems
- Email marketing and advertising platforms
- Promoting engineering
- Social media tools
- Information marketing and advertising tools
- Insights and investigation platforms
- Expertise optimisation investigation
- Customer engagement platforms
This is where my argument seems to become a little little bit thin. When I communicate about WiFi engineering, a lot of will be pondering about guest WiFi in general public venues or accommodations (excellent sectors that Airangel provide an outstanding services btw), but WiFi has become so substantially extra. By expressing that it has been left out by other individuals is not always real. WiFi options nowadays target seriously on these areas and involve things of all of them. Nonetheless, it is not typically that when describing, or offering examples of these systems, that digital marketing authorities explore the electricity of WiFi and its ability to allow all of these other things to arrive with each other. 'Enable' is a very vital word in this article.
I'm rather absolutely sure that about the previous several decades a lot of in the digital marketing game, significantly in retail or hospitality, will have arrive across WiFi marketing platforms from the trailblazers in the marketplace this sort of as Purple, Cloud4Wi, Euclid, Turnstyle, and even little aged Airangel. So let us glimpse at why WiFi engineering ought to be part of the stack.
In the real globe
Recall that in this article I'm talking about all those firms that the corny expression 'clicks and mortar' very best describes or all those that have bodily attendees or people. You are a marketer with all of the above tools at your disposal. You have a large database of shoppers and prospective clients, and you have some critical targets that you are doing work towards. They could be increasing visitor on house benefit, or enhance basket benefit, strengthen loyalty, enhance customer fulfillment scores, or strengthen operation efficiencies. In addition, you might also need to understand the effect that your on-line marketing and advertising activities have on footfall. What things of the engineering stack could you need to utilize – CRM, e mail platform, study tools, social media tools, analytics offer, footfall counters, digital signage, vouchering software program, EPOS reporting, all of them? What about WiFi?
What is so very good about WiFi?
So in this article it is. WiFi is not just about having folks on-line. WiFi is an enabler, it can enhance and interact with a lot of of the other systems. It can even become the catalyst, or the bridge, for allowing for other systems to join to every single other.
With a very good WiFi platform in spot (trace, trace) and with the right wireless components (the high priced little bit), and a motivation to commit in the long run, marketers can obtain so substantially extra. Here are some examples of what the various WiFi platforms can provide:
Existence & area analytics – Detect WiFi enabled units as they enter the venue or retail outlet. This provides a extra exact footfall rely than a common counter. You can even see dwell instances, bounce prices, chaotic and peaceful intervals, and repeat vs new shoppers. Far more state-of-the-art engineering applying Area Based Expert services can even exhibit the routes folks acquire all-around the venue on a digital map.
Contextual knowledge – By incentivising folks to log in to the WiFi by offering benefits or discount rates for all those that do, or just by advertising totally free internet connectivity, you will have a means of capturing knowledge. This can be performed by having a kind with a several fields to full, or by applying their favorite social media platform. Both way, you can capture e mail addresses, gender, age, area and extra.
Social publicity – Consumers logging in can be asked to deliver a 'Like', 'Follow', or 'Check in', giving you that substantially sought immediately after social reach.
Customer engagement – Being capable to connect with shoppers while they are on-premises is a very clear profit. This engagement can be performed in various methods which include e mail, SMS, and browser injections. Information can be brought on as folks log in if they are a repeat visitor moving into the venue, based on dwell instances in specified areas, or can be scheduled to go out to all shoppers.
URL redirects – As consumers log into the WiFi, they can be directed to any net page. This could be your loyalty signal up page, details of the most recent offers and promotions, or application down load web pages.
Enablement and integrations – Any other system you have in the stack could possibly join by using the API into the WiFi platform. This enables you to actually extend your creativeness on what is probable. For illustration, e mail promotions that drove shoppers to the retail outlet can now be measured substantially extra properly. If another person gets an e mail, walks into the retail outlet (and they have logged into the WiFi services just as soon as at any time), the loop can be shut. The WiFi detects the unit, we know their e mail from a prior pay a visit to. You can now get a superior image on the variety of visits your campaign yielded. The presence analytics will give you useful aggregated knowledge for all those that have in no way logged in. The sky actually is the restrict in this article to what you can do with the knowledge inform staff when a VIP enters the making, improve the digital signage content based on the average age of the people, mail a loyalty price reduction to attendees returning a set variety of instances, or unlock a lodge space door as the visitor techniques. You can actually go to town in this article.
Analytics – A very good WiFi platform will have a reporting dashboard where you can see all features of what is occurring on the wireless community. Everything that has already been mentioned. Nonetheless, by having the ability to export the knowledge into your other analytics offers, actually provides you that 360-diploma check out of how successful your campaigns actually are.
In summary
WiFi rocks! Everyone who writes about the Promoting Technological know-how Stack from this day on ought to involve the advantages that WiFi has to offer you. Or at the very least it ought to not be missed.
Many thanks for reading through.

Information by day, entertainment by night. Presentation technology, soft-edge projections, preview mode, and interpreting technology were used for the conference rooms. The undisputed highlight was a 12 x 4 m screen in panorama mode. The spectacular view of the runway and the truss construction over the dancefloor attracted much attention from the 400 guests at the evening event. The candelabra-shaped stage sets with giant mirror balls in the middle proved to be a major attraction as well. The lighting concept designed by teamtischer also included running lights that showed the way, helping guests to find their way home safely.

Inhale. Exhale.
We have to breathe to live…but why do we sometimes find ourselves holding our breath?
STRESS. Holding our breath is a natural response to stress. When stressed our bodies go into "fight, flight, or freeze" mode. This in turn will usually create an increased tension in the muscles responsible for breathing which include the thoracic diaphragm and some of the abdominal, chest, neck and shoulder muscles. Stress hormones can wreck havoc on our bodies! They can cause major health issues such as: a weakened immune system, auto-immune diseases, high blood pressure, heart disease and depression to name a few.
A 2002 press release from the National Institute of Health states: "Stress hormones continue to wash through the system in high levels, never leaving the blood and tissue…[and] can have a hazardous, even lethal effect on the body."
Scientists found that aging can be measured by the length of a protective cap on the ends of our chromosomes called "telomeres" and by the presence of telomerase", an enzyme that protects the telomeres from the wear and tear of cellular division. In 2009, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn won the Nobel Prize for her discovery of telomeres. Shortened telomeres are associated with weakened immune system function, heart disease, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. Many diseases previously common only in the elderly are now affecting many young people.
"If people could see the impact of stress on their telomeres, they would have the motivation to change their lifestyle and be more willing to embrace a yoga or meditation practice", states Dr. Blackburn.
Here are four types of breathing techniques and exercises to help with some of your everyday stress:
Ujjayi or Whisper Breath: Victorious Breath has a calming effect on the nervous system
Ujjayi Breathing Exercise: Practice by sitting tall, either cross-legged on the floor or in a chair, or by lying on your back. Close your lips, and breathe through your nose. Begin ujjayi breathing, focusing on matching the quality and quantity of every inhalation to every exhalation. Once you have mastered this technique at rest, try it when under stress or exertion, such as driving in traffic or while exercising...like riding a bicycle.
Three-Part Breath: uses the diaphragm to fill your lungs completely
Three-Part Breath Exercise: Sit tall and inhale, bringing your breath deep into your abdomen, then rib cage, and finally into your chest and throat. Exhale slowly and completely letting everything go. Repeat several times.
Breath Retention: increases level of concentration and helps control the mind.
Breath Retention Exercise: Begin with 3 long deep breaths through the nose, 6-8 counts for the inhale, the same for the exhale. Upon the next inhalation, holding the breath in for 2-4 counts, then exhaling 6-8 counts. Repeating for 3 sets. Now, inhaling 6-8 counts, exhaling an equal length, then holding the breath out for 2-4 counts. Repeating for 3 sets.
Alternate Nostril Breathing: has a balancing effect on the brain and emotions.
Left Side: calming Right Side: clarity
Alternate Nostril Breathing Exercise: Begin by finding a comfortable posture. Start noticing the current flow of the breath move into Equal Ratio Breathing. Taking your right hand into Nose Gesture: curling your first two fingers to your palm, keeping your thumb, ring finger and pinkie extended. From here, taking the right thumb to the bridge of our right nostril. Inhaling through the left nostril. At the top of the inhale, closing the left nostril with our right ring finger (while releasing the thumb) and exhaling through our right nostril. Inhaling through the right nostril. At the top of the inhale, closing the right nostril and exhaling through the left nostril. Repeating the pattern and continuing with this cycle for several rounds.

Winter Chores
You would think that this time of the year would mean less to do on the farm. But lately that seems to be just the opposite. The cattle reqiure more work and of course there is the year end paper-work to do. I am trying to get the newsletter finished and hope to have it out to you soon.
Eastern Market friends we plan on being up to the market on Saturday, Jan. 22nd.

Got a letter from California offering me $1000 for my car. I was astonished! My car for $1000?! But hey, I can see what they are thinking and I would probably do it if it wasn't a Z or any other classic car. 68′ Camaro. $1000. Good deal. Even better, it has to be running and smog-able! They are going to "scrap" the cars. All in the name of better environmental standards. I feel like I should work there and find some cars.
This ruins the used car market. The running used cars now have a price floor. $1000 and up for a decent running car. 1975 to 1994 is a wide gap and there are a lot a cars that fall in that slot.
For 2014 Norcal Events, there is Sonoma Drift, Norcal UFO, and Thunderdrift.

So I saw this post today, via Get Your Shit Together, entitled "One Day, You're Going to Die. Here's How To Prepare for It" – of course it caught my attention!
I strongly disagree with the DIY approach to estate planning and the idea that lawyers are optional for most people. It is nothing new or novel for people to inherently distrust lawyers (hello, Shakespeare!?!) and there are plenty of examples of why the public has that unfortunately over broad perspective. That's why I often feel compelled to use the qualifier "a good one" when I do tell people I'm a lawyer.
I also understand that it is difficult to fully appreciate the value of something it's hard to test oneself without the same training, expertise, and experience evaluating. But if you think it's just pure self-interest on the part of lawyers who practice in the distinct area of estate planning that caution you not to try to create your own legal documents, even with the "help" of pre-made, online or boxed forms, you are doing yourself a disservice.
I would be bored silly if all I did all day every day was plug my clients' names into the same standard forms over and over with nothing more to it! When I review my clients' family and financial information and discuss the specifics of their situations with them we dig deep into what their areas of concern are and how we can best address those to accomplish the clients' unique goals. I have actually been quite surprised to learn how widely those goals vary and to learn that what might look at first like very similar circumstances calling for a particular type of plan are not necessarily what my clients prioritize themselves and want to create. That's why the counseling piece is so crucial to really putting the right parts together to create a complete estate plan to fit the individual client's needs.
The other invaluable role of legal counseling in the process is being able to share with my clients my experience and expertise to offer insight into possible unintended consequences of their first choices and alternatives they might never have otherwise considered. I also routinely facilitate productive conversations between spouses to help them arrive at mutually agreeable decisions about such critically important pieces of their plan as who, and in what order, will serve as guardian for their minor children, one of many "hot button" topics in estate planning.
Lawyers who practice in this specific, complex, constantly evolving area of the law know about the most recent changes to probate, guardianship, and tax codes that affect proper planning. We know what red flags to spot, what life milestones and markers suggest review and changes may be necessary, and how to deal with tricky family and complex financial situations. Every family has its own complexities, though every client seems to think it's only in their family! Everyone has at least something, tangible or otherwise, that's really valuable and meaningful to someone else. People routinely forget about certain assets, most people aren't completely sure of which assets count as part of their probate estate or their estate-taxable estate, or what that even means and what the difference is between the two. People are often unsure of their assets' current values or who is set to receive them. I can't even count the number of times I've seen married couples with minor children who have ex-spouses or boyrfriends/girlfriends or their parents or siblings as current beneficiaries of their retirement plans because they set those plans up and forgot to update that piece of it. And in almost every couple I've had the privilege to work with to date, there is one family CFO if you will, while the other is more or less "in the dark" about the specifics, details, and location of records and contacts for the family's financial information.
The truth is, at least amongst the vast majority of my peers, friends, and clients, almost all of us start out thinking we don't have much and just need a simple Will, but almost all of us are dead wrong about that. The trouble is we we only find out when we take the time to really learn, and that takes time and money we feel short on to start, or our loved ones find out the hard way when it's already too late for us. Clients come in and roll their eyes (or wipe tears) while sharing the horror shows of their experiences dealing with loved ones who didn't take the time or spend the money to plan their own affairs. Those clients who've seen it up close and personal don't want to burden their surviving loved ones that way.
The other piece of the advice in that article I take exception to is the idea of shopping around for a lawyer via free consultations. I think free consultations are a waste of everyone's time. Either the lawyer is giving away free legal advice without getting fairly compensated for it (and will come to regret it) or the client's time is being wasted by having what amounts to little more than a meet and greet with the lawyer who hopes to convert the prospective client into a paying client. Instead, I believe the lawyer should have processes and information readily available up front to help the prospective client evaluate whether that particular lawyer will be a good fit for that particular client. Prospective clients in Massachusetts looking for a lawyer for Wills, Living Wills, Health Care Proxies, Trusts, Guardians for Minor Children and other pieces of an overall estate plan can read up on my blog, check out the DGVE law website, Facebook page, read this blog, and then call DGVE law at 781-740-084 for more information to help decide whether it makes sense to schedule an appointment to meet with me. If it does, then we will get you on the schedule and when we sit down it can be a productive meeting leading closer to actually having all your ducks in a row instead of just finding out whether you might want to get started working with me.
And forget the idea that this is all something you can do in just a couple hours total! If you want to do it right and make it yours, don't wait until the week before you leave for a vacation and are thinking about that plane ride or just as you're preparing for an elective surgery to call. Please don't wait until you are already diagnosed with a serious illness or your loved one is starting to lose some mental capacity. Doing so just makes it what we in the profession refer to as "crisis planning" and there are consequences (and may be premiums for the rush) at that point. Instead prepare to invest some time and valuable financial resources while you are healthy, well, and there is time to do it right. Choose the right attorney for you and your family then trust her to use her extensive educational training and her professional and personal experience and continuing professional education as well as to call on her professional colleagues as resources when necessary to do all the heavy mental and physical lifting for you so you can go about living your life and enjoying your family now worry free. You and your family are worth it.

Read this article and discover why to choose online store builder (free of charge) over marketplace! Why are online store builders considered to be the ideal solution?
We can all agree that most of the customers have shifted from traditional and physical stores to buying online! A number of platforms utilized by traditional or brick and mortar retailers have significantly helped them in expanding and improving their business. The online sellers choose to create their own online stores with the resources they already have (skills and knowledge) or they prefer to list the products on various marketplaces.
Tips about:
the Shopify ecommerce website builder
Today, a lot of entrepreneurs are choosing online store builders for building their own ecommerce stores and also a lot of website owners have transferred from marketplaces to ecommerce solutions for maximizing their sales and making a better profit in every possible way.
Choosing a store builder instead of a marketplace is definitely a better option, however, in some cases, making the right choice can be a demanding task. In this article, we are going to present you 3 reasons why you need to choose online store builder (free of charge) over marketplace:
- Give your customer a chance to express their experience – You have found the best ecommerce platform, however, this is not the only thing that can make your website successful. The customers will decide depending on the products you sell, whether or not, they will return to your store. Choosing an online store builder which allows users to share product reviews and ratings is a must. You need to give your customers a chance to express their experience and views.
- Keep your website safe and secure – The biggest worry for most of the online buyers is sharing their credit card information. There are so many cybercriminals waiting to attack meaning you must keep your website safe and secure and ensure the online buyers that their personal information is protected. The online store builders guarantee security on every step until the end.
- Marketing features drive new customers – The marketing is really important in bringing more customers to any website and the existence of any new ecommerce store is almost impossible. The ecommerce solution you choose should include social media and SEO features. Customers are constantly looking for fresh content online and having active presence can help attract new customers.
What is your opinion? Is it better to choose an online store builder or a marketplace to sell your products?

Dundee Ceramics Workshop was set up by members of Tin Roof Arts Collective in 2016. The collective was founded in 2010 by graduates of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, with the intent of providing a space for artists and the wider creative community in Dundee to work and collaborate. Between 2010 and 2016 the creative collective were based on Ure Street in a large industrial warehouse where the collective provided studio space for nearly 100 artists, a wood workshop and two exhibition spaces.
In 2016 Tin Roof relocated to Milne's East Wynd and launched Dundee Ceramics Workshop, providing workshop facilities, classes, kiln hire, and 1-to-1 tuition for ceramic artists and enthusiasts. For more updates and information on our courses, events and workshops, please visit our social media pages.

Last week, there were reports that Huawei might sell 5G modems to Apple, which currently has no way to source such chips. Today, at a Q&A session Huawei representatives squashed such rumors, saying:
"We have no change in our chipset strategy, and no communication with Apple on 5G modems."
Huawei has the Balong 5000 modem ready, which is already used in 5G Wi-Fi hotspots and will go into the foldable Mate X. However, the company has so far kept its in-house chips to itself (both modems and Kirin chipsets).
Apple's current 4G modem suppliers are not an option for the 5G generation – Apple and Qualcomm are locked in a legal battle, Intel's modem isn't ready yet. Samsung's Exynos 5100 will be used in the Galaxy S10 5G in South Korea, but there's not enough supply to also sell to Apple.
There are at least two other companies working on 5G modems (MediaTek and UniSOC), but analysts believe they won't be able to meet Apple's stringent requirements for its component suppliers. Plus it's unclear if they will have a working solution anytime soon.
Apple is reportedly working on its own modems, however it will need a few years to develop them. If no deal is struck to buy existing modems, the first 5G iPhones may come as late as 2021.

At Cadillac Ranch
I was sitting with my boyfriend Matt, in the middle-of-nowhere Amarillo, Texas with some rusty spray painted Cadillacs sticking up out of the ground en route to Los Angeles when I found out.
Deep breaths. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
My shattered illusion of hope that she would come back, the one I was clinging onto failed. I thought there was time for a miracle. Where was the miracle?
I scrolled through my text messages. E-m-i-l-y. The familiar photo in my favorites list. What was our last conversation?
We were going to see each other in a week. Maybe less. She had another cool project. She was writing a lot. She enjoyed school.
Where was the miracle?
I remembered an experience I had heard recently. It was a woman who actually died for a minute. And then she came back. But she didn't have a huge chance at living. It was possible her heart would stop permanently. Her family thought it was the end, and they gathered at the hospital. And the father, her husband, said to everyone: "If your mother lives, it will be a miracle. But if she dies, there is also the miracle of death."
Miracle of death. The phrase stuck with me. I didn't know what it meant. It didn't feel very miraculous then or on days when I'm driving and I forget and I think about calling her or texting her to see how she's doing, what other amazing new project she's thinking about.
But there is.
I saw the miracle at her memorial. All the people that gathered. Inspired words. Her writings and special objects displayed like a museum. Emily displayed. Honored. In my mind, I saw her looking at everyone. I saw her observing, interacting, appreciative. And happy.
There is the miracle that she truly does live on. Not only in the remembrance of those she loved and loved her, not only in her writings and thoughts, and experiences she taught me and others, but in eternity. I believe that. I know that.
She transitioned into something greater.
So Matt and I took the spray cans we had previously bought — blue and white — and created something for her in the middle of this nothing. On layers and layers of other spray-painted Cadillacs. "For Emily" it says. In a sky of periwinkle blue and clouds of white. Surrounded by an encircled heart. Because in that moment, it's all we could do.
And no one around us saw, no one realized the depth of my sadness. No one knew what we were doing, who we were doing it for. But it didn't matter. It became. It existed. And it still does. Probably under more and more layers of spray paint. But it's still there. Just as life layers and continues to build. More memories. More happy. More sad.
She is permanently one of those many layers. Influencing all the other ones on top and in-between, whether anyone sees it or not.
She is always remembered.
— Madeline Kleinman, May 2016
Your Name Is My Favorite Refrain
emi, I've been writing your name across the country
emi, I've been leaving you notes
emi, I saw you as the strawberry moon
last night in Wyoming
the sky was glowing
the road flowed onward
and I felt I knew
what was happening
behind the scenes

Las Vegas is known around the world as a top destination for gaming, entertainment and cuisine, but there are also plenty of ways to pamper yourself in Sin City. Many hotel suites in Las Vegas offer full-service spas where you can get a facial, massage or manicure before heading out for a night on the town. A complete spa package is a great resource for those who are getting married in Las Vegas, and taking advantage of at least some spa services is a great idea for anyone who is staying at a downtown Las Vegas hotel.
Luxurious Accommodations
Many spas in Las Vegas hotels have their own wing of luxury suites. Amenities may include access to an indoor pool, whirlpool bathtub, leather furniture and a glittering view of the world-famous Las Vegas strip.
Full-service Spa
Each downtown Las Vegas hotel will have its own complete spa package, but most will offer a variety of massages, facials, and body and beauty treatments. You can also pamper yourself with the services of professional hair and makeup artists who will have you looking your best before you hit the town. If you are primarily in Vegas for gambling or entertainment, you can take advantage of the spa's "refresher" menu, which offers simple services at a reasonable price.
Access to Casinos
Most hotels in Las Vegas make it easy to indulge in beauty treatments while enjoying the best of Sin City's leisure pursuits. In fact, some hotels offer games near their spa facilities, so you won't have to go far after your facial to play blackjack or craps.

John 8:12-19; Ephesians 5:8-14
Reflection Questions
1. What does goes grace mean to you and how has it given light to your life?
2. Read John 8:12: Describe a time when Jesus helped you endure or overcome a seemingly dark and hopeless situation. How did Jesus reveal hope to you like a light in the darkness?
3. Read John 8:13-19: Jesus speaks with confidence about His own witness as the Light of the World. Do you speak (to yourself and others) with a similar confidence that Jesus is the light of your life? If so, how do you share your faith openly and passionately with others without coming across as arrogant or abrasive?
Digging Deeper
Read Ephesians 5:8-14: After reading these verses, ask yourself "how am I a reflection of the Light of the World to those around me?" As you go through the week, figuratively look at yourself in the mirror to examine how your reflection (your witness) can be a reflection of the Light of the World.

Westfield Dog Bark Friends INC.
Maintaining the Dog Friendly Area at Arm Brook Park
First Time Suggestions
Here are some other things you should consider to help make your visit to the dog park a success.
• First time users should consider coming at off-peak times for their initial visit. At times, the park can become quite crowded. If you are not sure how your dog will react to the current conditions, don't put pressure on your dog by forcing it into what it thinks is a threatening situation. Instead, come back at another time when it is less crowded.
• If entering or leaving the off-leash area, do not enter the double-gated transition area if there is already someone in that area. This will eliminate the possibility of both gates being open at the same time.
• Place your dog off leash in the transition area before entering the unleashed area. Some dogs can feel threatened if they are leashed in the presence of unleashed dogs.
• Please clean up YOUR park! Trash, cigarette butts, and anything else on the ground may end up in a dog's mouth. Before you drop something on the ground, ask yourself, "Would I want my dog to eat this?" We must all work to keep our park clean.
• Your dog must have A COLLAR or HARNESS that includes a CURRENT RABIES TAG and a CURRENT DOG LICENCES It is also an excellent idea to have an ID&INFO TAG.
• Remember that choke, prong, spiked, and electric collars are not allowed inside the off-leash area. Each of these collar types can result in injury to the dog wearing it, another fellow dog at the park, or a person depending on the situation.
• Be a responsible dog handler. If your pet has a contagious condition, stay away until a Vet has said that there is no danger to other dogs. The "Golden Rule" applies here!
• Each handler is legally responsible for his or her dog. Westfield Dog BARK INC will assume no responsibility for any injuries to humans or animals; therefore, each handler is responsible for supervision of his or her animal. All handlers must remain in the park with their dog at all times.
• The age is eight (8). While it is not recommended, children are welcome - however, child's play is not. This is a playground for dogs, not children. Be sure you teach your child how to behave properly in a dog park environment. Playful, unsupervised children and playful, unleashed dogs mixed together could result in injury. Please understand that this area is provided for dogs to interact with other dogs and that your child could be considered an interruption in dog play. If you choose to bring your child within the park, you should SUPERVISE VERY CLOSELY!!! Teach your child proper dog park behavior. Children should not run around, scream, pick up and wave sticks, or approach animals that they do not know.
• Many dogs will be experiencing the off-leash environment for the first time and may not be used to the experience. Please watch your dog closely. If your dog acts aggressively, please put the dog on a leash immediately and let the animal "cool down". It takes time for a new dog to become comfortable with the fact that other dogs all share the neutral environment. Keep in mind that everyone at the park wants the same thing - socialized dogs that can have fun together. If you are not sure how your dog will react, try to come to the park when few other dogs are there to keep the intimidation level as low as possible. You may wish to keep your first visit to the dog park rather short to minimize the stress on your pup. Leaving early when your dog is having a good time will make it more likely that your dog will be anxious to return for subsequent visits.
• No bare feet please! Some types of worms can enter your body through the soles of your feet. Are you absolutely certain that every dog in the dog park is worm-free?
• Keep your head on a swivel at all times as there will likely be groups of dogs running around the park and having fun. People standing around are obstructions. A dog being chased may try to run its pursuer into a person in order to gain an advantage. Stay alert!
• Do not bring human food to the dog park. Small dog treats are acceptable since that's what one uses to train a dog; however, human food or long-lasting dog chews should not be brought into the off-leash area. Many dogs are on diets to keep their weight under control. A normally well-behaved dog can jump at or lunge for food, especially tasty human food, when hungry. Also, do not give any treats to a dog without first checking with the dog's owner to see if that would be permissible. Some dogs have food allergies and that treat might make a dog ill.
• Westfield Dog Bark wants to help make YOUR dog park a success. If you have questions, suggestions, problems, or concerns; please contact the email@example.com...
• Quickly move away from the entrance area as you enter. That will help disperse the group of dogs that will come over to welcome your dog to the park. Move away from the fence so that your dog will not feel cornered or threatened. This will lessen the problem caused when several off leash dogs, already in the park, come running over to greet the new arrival, perhaps overwhelming the arriving dog.
• One of our primary goals is to socialize our dogs to have good manners. We should practice what we preach and always be considerate of others and YOUR dog park will be an enjoyable, healthy, educational experience for handlers and dogs.
• If any dog becomes aggressive or disruptive, the responsible handler will remove the dog from the fenced area until socialization measures can be undertaken.
• ALWAYS SCOOP YOUR DOG'S POOP!!! Also, please help with "Orphan Poop." , they're dogs, it happens
• Keep your dog leashed at all times while outside the fenced dog park area. Even if your pet is under perfect voice control, many non-dog people have fears and any dog off-leash
***Legally, only a rabies vaccination is required to enter the dog park; however, you may wish to consult with your veterinarian to get advice on other vaccinations such as Bordatella (Kennel Cough), Distemper, Parvo, etc. Don't forget heartworm protection and especially flee and tick!
If you see animal abuse call

Goddammit So Much
First, WOW thank you all so much wishing me good luck on that final. Did not expect a flurry of messages before I went into the beast (enter wife joke here) but that was hilariously awesome of everyone who did, so thank you! Nailed the shit out of that fucker.
I've been awake since about 6:30 after sleeping for no more than four hours and haven't had a goddamn meal all day. I'm only operating on three cups of coffee with three shots of expresso, and I just wrote a two hour exam that consisted of me writing approximately 2,000 words. And instead of going to Mikado to punish the bejesus out of some beef yakisoba, I'm in front of my lap top, once again writing, because the nitwittery of this organization is so unbelievably unprecedented that it's both mentally and physically ripping me to smithereens. The balls of this fucking team to tease us with a press conference of this magnitude, only to have the guy who named a bazillion dollar burger after himself stand up and tell us basically nothing at all is so incomprehensible it actually hurts my brain to think about. I opened up my phone after bazookaing a final, all fired up about knowing premodern history and all radiocarbon dating and all that bullshit, thinking maybe – just maybe – this team did a logical and applaud-worthy organizational move for the first time since switching to full time retro uniforms back in like 2011 (which, because Oilers, they've already fucked up). Did they do that logic?
#Oilers CEO & Vice Chair Bob Nicholson says Peter Chiarelli will continue to be the team's President of Hockey Operations & General Manager next season. "We will have a plan coming out in the near future about how we're going forward."

Nicholson press conference recap:
😬 -> 😐 -> 😑 -> 🤬 -> 🍺 -> 🍺 -> 🍺 -> 🍹 -> 🤮
— OilersNation.com (@OilersNation) April 12, 2018
They did not do that logic. I took my phone off airplane mode and received a barrage of texts pleading for me to not check the interview. A bunch of ethically aware individuals knowing damn well that the outcome of this circus would eventually ruin my good vibes previously acquired from being kind of smart at school. The Edmonton Oilers will, one day, destroy me.
Bob got up there and put on his best costume and danced around issues and made goals like "WE'RE GOING TO BE A PLAYOFF TEAM!" like woah Bob! The playoffs?! As if a wildcard birth next year is supposed to make us feel even marginally better about wasting some of the best years of Connor McDavid's life. Imagine having a 21-year-old mutant and back-to-back scoring champion in your arsenal and having a goal of "making the playoffs"? That's the equivalent of NASA having a goal of one day going to space.
The only organization that believes the Oilers management is capable and competent and the right core to get this team back to being competitive is the Edmonton Oilers. Every other team, every fan base, every media person, all laugh at us. They laugh at our stupidity. And how could they not? Our complete imbecile of a CEO calls a press conference and for one beautiful, magical moment, we all believed something positive would come out of it. Even if deep down we all knew they'd impale our hearts with a street lamp, we all had that one moment of hope. Because we're naive. We fall for this shit all the time. This organization has no will no change. They're so adamant on keeping the old boys together that they're willing to sacrifice the present boys to achieve the dream of all being best buddies who think their success as NHL players warrants them the ability to operate a professional franchise. Or in Peter's useless case, a degree from Harvard. And I point my carpal tunnel induced finger directly at Daryl Katz. He's been in charge for 11 years and we've made the playoffs once. One time, despite having unlimited funds in terms of both on ice players and organizational management. One time. When those broke ass 30-some odd randoms from scattered areas of the province owned our team we were able to make the playoffs five times in the span of like eight seasons. And we had no money. We were a farm team to the rich teams, and we still could make the playoffs. ONE TIME in 11 years. This is disgusting. I'm sorry, Oilers fans. Truly, I'm sorry. I don't know what we did to deserve such a futile disaster, but it's here. And it's here to say, according to the person responsible for holding the most operationally-meaningless press conference of all time. Whatever anymore.

Israel has feared that Friday's attack, in which three Israeli-Arab terrorists killed two policemen, could spark a third intifada.
Jordan's King Abdullah on Saturday called for calm as he condemned the terror attack near the Temple Mount in a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a report in
The Jordan Times.

, in which three Israeli-Arab terrorists killed two policemen, could spark a third intifada. The Temple Mount is under Israeli control and Jordanian custodianship and is managed by the Islamic Wakf. Jews are allowed to visit, but not worship.
During the conversation, King Abudulla called on Israel to reopen the Temple Mount, which had been closed for security reasons in the aftermath of the incident.
The Saturday call followed a similar but rare conversation right after the attack between Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Prior to leaving for France and Hungary on Saturday night, Netanyahu said he would gradually open the Temple Mount to worshipers as he dismissed accusations that Israel was disrupting the status quo, a charge which in the past had led to violent attacks against Israelis.
"I decided that as of tomorrow, in the framework of our policy of maintaining the status-quo, we will gradually open the Temple Mount, but with increased security measures," he said.
"This evening, I held a discussion with the top security leadership and I instructed that metal detectors be placed at the entrance gates to the Temple Mount. We will also install security cameras on poles outside the Temple Mount... which give almost complete control over what goes on there," Netanyahu added.
"Before the onset of Shabbat [Friday, 14 July 2017], I spoke with the parents of our
two heroic policemen who were murdered
on the Temple Mount. I sent them a hug from every citizen of Israel and participation in their awful grief. Also before Shabbat, I directed that the
mourners' tents of the families of the contemptible murderers be destroyed
," he said.
On Friday, and again on Saturday, Netanyahu had held consultations with security officials, including: Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, Israel Police Insp.-Gen. Ronni Alsheich, ISA Director Nadav Argaman and Jerusalem District Police Commander Yoram Halevy.
Israeli officials have assured the Trump administration it has no intention of changing the status quo security arrangement on the Temple Mount, known to Muslims as the Holy Sanctuary, the White House said in a statement on Saturday.
Describing a shooting attack that killed two Israeli police officers as a "heartbreaking" act of terror, the president's press secretary
strongly condemned the event
, which took place at ground zero of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Yesterday, the Holy City of Jerusalem– which means 'City of Peace'– became a scene of terror," the White House statement read. "There must be zero tolerance for terrorism. It is incompatible with achieving peace and we must condemn it in the strongest terms, defeat it, and eradicate it."
The president's special adviser on international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, similarly condemned the attack on Friday, praising Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for swiftly speaking out against the attackers.
"The attack forced the government of Israel to temporarily close the Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif to conduct its investigation," the press secretary said. "Israel has assured the world that it has no intention to alter the status of this holy site, a decision which the United States applauds and welcomes."
The EU issued a strongly worded condemnation of the attack, stating that it was "not only a crime against people on duty, but also a profanation of this holy site," its spokesperson said in Brussels.
"There can be no justification for such a crime or any act of terror. The EU offers its condolences to the families of the victims of the shootings."
"Jerusalem is a city sacred to three religions. The status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif must be preserved. The EU calls on all leaders to condemn violence and all acts of terrorism when they occur, and to work towards restoring the dignity and safety of this holy site," the EU said.

Donovan Bailey is a yardie. For the uninitiated, the term is used among the Jamaican diaspora to describe someone of Jamaican origin that maintains roots with the homeland.
He's also a highly celebrated and fiercely proud Canadian.
I've written about race in regards to Bailey in the past and how his domination in Atlanta helped my own assimilation as a West-Indian Canadian.
As Bailey approaches his 50th birthday on Dec. 16, he's in a reflective mood. I recently met with him at the Spoke Club in Toronto, the site of his upcoming birthday party, and for 45 minutes we discussed the intersection of politics, race, social media, parenting, police brutality and his advocacy for the Native American community and of course, sports.
Bailey's perspective is unique. He was born in and still owns property in Jamaica. His parents created the Canadian Caribbean Association. And he was raised in Oakville at a time when his family knew all six black families in the then city of over 200,000.
Most of the time when he lined up in the blocks for a race, every other lane was filled with a black man. Most of the time he has entered a boardroom for business meetings, he has been the only black man.
This is what makes his perspective on the current racial and immigration tensions in North America so fascinating.
Bailey has long held strong opinions about race and his place in society as a minority.
In a July 1996 piece prior to winning double Gold at the Atlanta Olympics, Bailey told Sports Illustrated's Michael Farber the following about racism in the United States as opposed to Canada: "We know it exists. People who don't appear to be Canadian"–people of color–"don't get the same treatment. They associate you with your parents' birthplace or your birthplace."
At the time, the thought of a Canadian Olympic athlete — whose job it was to bring pride to the nation — challenging the outward perception of Canada as multiculturally accepting, was sacrilegious.
Now looking back, Bailey feels he was branded a turncoat.
"If Twitter existed then, a lot of tweets would have come out for me just to run," he explains. "Run and be quiet."
To understand these comments, you need to understand the man in full context. Track loved Bailey before he loved it.
Bailey's first love was in fact basketball, not sprinting. If you look closely in our interview you can see the scar over his right eyebrow, which is a result of hitting his head on a basketball rim.
Bailey was also already a wealthy man before he dedicated his life to track thanks to some real estate investments. So in a way, he never felt beholden to the sport and any riches that came from it. He had an opinion before he was a professional athlete. Why wouldn't he have one afterwards?
The other constant in his life both before and after his track career, is his group of friends. Bailey has maintained the same tight crew of loyal friends he grew up with. Drake's "No New Friends" motto is not foreign to Canada's most famous track star.
Bailey's crew is comprised of minorities who grew up underprivileged, people of Jewish descent, and some white people from multi-generation Canadian families.
"What I want to do with my friends is listen," says Bailey. "When you can listen to others perspectives we can learn about the other people that make up this great country."
Following the Atlanta Games, some wondered if his pre-Olympic comments to Sports Illustrated cost him some sponsorship opportunities or awards.
Bailey's closest confidants have theories.
For example, Bailey has been awarded the Order of Ontario, but not the Order of Canada. And it wasn't until 2017 — 21 years after winning double gold in Atlanta — that he was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.
Bailey refuses to point fingers at any one racist act or individual. Not yet, anyways. You see, Bailey is in the process of writing a tell-all book about his experience rising throughout sport in Canada.
So the question is: how does he feel today? Two decades after his comments to Sports Illustrated, has his perspective changed?
Kind of.
"There are things being said and done south of our border that you would never hear being said in Canada because that would be very un-Canadian," Bailey concedes, before adding, "certainly there are some people here who don't want the success of immigrants and the success of other people to be like their success."
It reminds me of the Kanye West line "Racism still alive, they just be concealin' it" from "never let me down."
My main takeaway from my conversation with Bailey: he has no regrets. He takes nothing he said or did back because, as he puts it: "That was his journey." He does however want to impart some wisdom on upcoming Canadian track stars such as Akeem Haynes, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, Bolade Ajomale and Andre De Grasse, so they have an easier path than he did on and off the track.
A good portion of his time is now spent working with amateur athletes on how to market, brand and carry themselves.
"Those are my little brothers," he explains. "I have a son, but I love them like family. Our people historically have gone through a lot. That is our story. You can trace it all the way back to slavery. But it is incumbent upon everyone, no matter what field, to make it easier on the next generation," Bailey explains.
Maya Angelou famously said "I rise. I am the dream and hope of the slave."
Bailey's dream and hope is that by the next time he's celebrating a landmark birthday all people in Canada will be able to rise.
And until then, he won't be quiet.

Creating A Frictionless Digital Lending Process
We have learned that Finicity, a provider of real-time financial data aggregation and insights, has signed an integration agreement with Blue Sage Solutions, a cloud-based digital mortgage lending platform. Under terms of the agreement, Blue Sage will integrate Finicity's Verification of Assets (VoA) solution into its multi-channel digital lending platform to accelerate the credit decisioning process for mortgage lenders.
Featured Sponsors:
Finicity's credit decisioning solutions allow lenders to free up resources, improve accuracy and reduce mortgage fraud, all while giving borrowers a paperless and hassle-free experience. By partnering, Blue Sage and Finicity can provide mortgage lenders with validated insights of a borrower's assets in seconds.
Featured Sponsors:
"Our goal is to find top-notch partners who are also committed to creating a frictionless experience for lenders and borrowers through a digitized process," said Steve Smith, Finicity CEO. "We're excited to work with Blue Sage to accelerate the process of verifying a borrower's assets, which has traditionally been a painful paper chase that takes several days or longer."
Featured Sponsors:
Blue Sage's digital lending platform allows mortgage lenders and borrowers to collaborate together in real-time to communicate, exchange required information and track progress. Since Blue Sage operates as a cloud-based platform, both parties can access VoA reports at virtually any time during the process.
"We look forward to working with Finicity as an asset verification provider," said Joe Langner, CEO of Blue Sage. "The company's credit solutions align well with our mission to empower mortgage lenders with best-in-class, consumer-centric tools to achieve an excellent origination performance—every time."
Finicity is an authorized, integrated provider of asset verification reports within Fannie Mae Desktop Underwriter (DU). This gives lenders a certified asset report through Fannie Mae's Day 1 Certainty initiative. Finicity is also part of the Single Source Validation (SSV) pilot, meaning Fannie Mae will utilize transaction data from Finicity reports to validate assets, income and employment. A broader rollout of SSV is planned later this year and will build on Fannie Mae's Day 1 Certainty initiative.
Finicity is also an authorized Freddie Mac asset validation report provider, and Freddie Mac and Finicity are working together on new methods to validate income from payroll deposit data from bank statements.

3 inches of rain drench area Monday
Thunderstorms forming and reforming over South Dakota, then making their way through western Minnesota during the morning and early afternoon Monday, brought just over 3 inches of rain to the Benson area.
Monday's rainfall was 3.1 inches and brought June's total to 4.4 inches, one hundredth of an inch over the month's average of 4.39 inches. It is only June12.
Sunday the Chippewa River level as monitored at the U.S. Highway 12 bridge west of Benson had fallen to 8.48 feet. By Tuesday morning it was up to 11.75 feet – a rise of 3.27 feet. The volume of water flowing down the Chippewa had more than tripled from 0.444 cubic feet per second to 1.62 cubic feet per second.
The heavy rainfall closed the back nine of the Benson Golf Course due to standing water, postponing Tuesday's men's league play this week.
Nearly all the state's crops are in now and developing rapidly due to the warm weather. However, Monday's heavy rain left water standing in low areas of fields and could cause significant damage unless it dries quickly....

This paper primarily focuses on agroecology projects and the views of partners in the Global South, projects and partners supported by Secours Catholique-Caritas France. Its main objective is to explain how agroecology benefits the most disadvantaged family and smallholder farmers and strengthens their inalienable dignity. A second objective is to contribute to the reflection on options for sustainable agriculture which will allow to achieve a real reduction in hunger across the world whilst preserving our "commons".

If you've been affected by a recent natural disaster, has someone called and asked you to verify your FEMA registration?
Multiple complaints have been filed by people who have been scammed by thieves pretending to be employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These include survivors from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, as well as victims of the California wildfires.
If you or someone you know may have fallen victim to or have knowledge of these types of frauds, visit the FEMA Disaster Fraud page for more information.

A new technique for solving the combined state and parameter estimation problem in thermographic tomography is presented. The technique involves the direct substitution of known skin temperatures into the finite difference form of the bio-heat transfer equation as formulated for solving an initial value problem with a convection boundary condition at the skin surface. These equations are then used to solve the inverse bio-heat transfer problem for the unknown subcutaneous tissue temperatures and physiological parameters. For a small number of nodal points, closed form algebraic solutions are obtained. For larger sets of equations, a hybrid technique is used in which the problem is initially posed as an unconstrained optimization problem in which the model equation error is minimized using the conjugate gradient descent technique to get close to a solution. Then a generalized Newton-Raphson technique was used to solve the equations. A numerical simulation of a one-dimensional problem is investigated both with and without noise superimposed on the input (transient) skin temperature data. The results show that the technique gives very accurate results if the skin temperature data contains little noise. It is also shown that if the physical properties of the tissue and the metabolism are known, that a given set of proper transient skin temperature inputs yields a unique solution for the unknown internal temperatures and blood perfusion rates. However, the similar problem with known blood perfusion rates and unknown metabolisms does not yield a unique solution for the internal temperatures and metabolisms.
