Not with your back!
This is my public service announcement today.
A long, long time ago, when I was young and foolish, I didn't listen to this sage advice. I was trying to move out of my dorm room, and instead of waiting for help, I decided to try to move a very heavy couch all by myself. Bad idea.
Now, 27 years later, I am still occasionally plagued by pain from the injury I incurred while moving that couch. It only happens about once a year now, but it can be quite random. Unfortunately for me, today is the day the old injury has decided to flare up. I am now reduced to walking around like a very old lady, shuffling around and asking people to bend over and pick things up for me.
This is even more unfortunate in that I have a 5K to run next weekend.
At least my chiropractor will be happy to see me again!
Lift with your legs, not with your back!

The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission has published its annual Policy and Planning report to the Legislature.
This annual report highlights the growth and impact of Greater Minnesota's regional system of parks and trails. Supported by the Clean Water and Legacy Amendment, sixty-two facilities across 80 counties provide a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities for residents and visitors.
Learn more about how the Commission is working with cities and counties in all six Greater Minnesota districts to fulfill the 25-year Legacy Plan.
On a blustery February 6 evening, hundreds of folks gathered at the Minnesota History Center to celebrate the first ten years since the passing of the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment.
The four Legacy funds – Parks and Trails, Clean Water, Outdoor Heritage and Arts & Cultural Heritage – had an opportunity to demonstrate the significant work each has done in their respective areas and gather feedback about how the public views these efforts.
The Parks and Trails partners, DNR, Metropolitan Council and GMRPTC, made a considerable effort during 2018 to "Celebrate, Education and Listen" at eight legacy events across the State, as well as the 12-day run of the Minnesota State Fair. The February 6 gathering was the first 10-Year Legacy event bringing all the funds together for an evening of reflection and highlights.
Legislators who worked on the ballot initiative language in the beginning, as well as legislators currently involved in the Legacy funds spoke and noted the magnitude of this historic achievement.
This attached summary report is a useful document that provides an overview of the work of each of the funds and highlights the collective benefits that have touched each county in the state in these first years.
The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission, together with its Parks and Trails Legacy Advisory Committee partners the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Metropolitan Council, have released a new report marking the 10-year anniversary of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment.
The Parks and Trails Legacy Advisory Committee (PTLAC) embarked on a series of regional public events to celebrate, educate, and listen as citizens shared their perspectives on, and aspirations for, Minnesota's comprehensive system of state and regional parks and trails.
By hosting nine regional events across the state, the PTLAC was able to celebrate the impact of Legacy funding with over 12,500 Minnesotans. In keeping with the spirit of Minnesota parks and trails, participants enjoyed activities that showcased the time of year and what made each site unique.
The report shares highlights of the celebrations across the state, summarizing the extensive efforts to share information about the impact of Legacy funding on the state's regional parks and trails system, and explains how what was learned will impact priorities and decisions for the next 15 years of Legacy funding.
Read the report below.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced grant funding opportunities for park and trail projects across Minnesota. Applications are now being accepted for the following grant programs: outdoor recreation, natural and scenic area, regional trail, local trail connections and federal recreational trails.
These grants help local governments throughout the state create partnerships with the DNR to fund projects ranging from local parks, regional trails to trail connections. Information about each of the grants can be found at this link provided by our friends at the League of Minnesota Cities.
Current Grant Opportunities
Lac qui Parle County has a gem of a County park that has been in development for decades, thanks to the work of the park's friends group. In 2015 the County applied for designation as a regionally significant park, receiving a "High" ranking by the Commission. Having no master plan in place, the County Board and Friends of the Park group started a long process of visioning and planning for the park's future development..
This week, the new Master Plan entered final public review before being finalized and adopted by the County Board! The next step after official adoption will be to submit the Plan to the Greater Minnesota Regional Development Commission through the online portal for final scoring evaluation by the ETeam, the District Planning Committee and the Commission. The Commission will use that evaluation to determine if the park merits designation as a regionally significant park.
Follow the park's progress on their Facebook page HERE.
You can also read the full plan HERE.
For any questions, contact Kristi Fernholz of the Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission at email@example.com
The GMRPTC has released its annual report to the legislature for 2017, detailing the extent of the Greater Minnesota system, project outcomes for Fiscal Years 2016-2018, key accomplishments for the year, and funding recommendations for Fiscal Year 2019. We extend our appreciation to all of our partners across Greater Minnesota, especially the hard work of our 13 appointed volunteer Commissioners, for making all of this possible!

MnDOT State and County Bicycle Maps
MnDOT has released their 2017 State Bicycle Map as a resource for both users and those planning transportation systems. As County-level maps are completed, they are also being added to the website. MnDOT Bicycle Maps.
"With a team of others from across the Rochester community, she is working to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability level, can experience the joy of biking."

Statewide Bicycle System Plan
The Statewide Bicycle System Plan represents MnDOT's vision and goals for bicycle transportation, implementation strategies, and performance measures to evaluate progress toward achieving this vision. The plan falls in line with MnDOT's family of plans, including Minnesota GO. It follows the completion of the Statewide Bicycle Planning Study.
Link Here
While the GMRPTC is a separate entity from the DNR, we are still partner agencies. Planning coordination between the Commission and MN DNR Parks and Trails is important. The purpose of the Parks and Trails Strategic Plan is to communicate the Division's strategic priorities to staff and partners, so that they understand them and can assist with implementation efforts.

UNFPA's latest estimates imply that even if the probability of FGM stays constant, globally, more and more girls will be affected each year due to the underlying population growth in high-risk countries.
It highlights the importance of factoring in underlying population dynamics when estimating FGM risk. It also demonstrates that increased efforts are required to halt this trend.
The new estimates are based on DHS and MICS* surveys, which provide the risk of FGM by single years of age and combine these probabilities with data from the 2017 UN World Population Prospects, allowing us to generate more precise estimates and
projections of the number of girls at risk of FGM in each country.

During Nurses Week, Meeker Memorial had two nurses selected by patients for the DAISY Award and three additional nurses were recognized for their Commitment to Excellence
5/10/19 (Litchfield, MN) – Nurses at Meeker Memorial Hospital & Clinics (MMHC)were honored with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses ®. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate nursing care they provide patients and families every day.
The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members of his family. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.) The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
The 2019 DAISY Award recipients at MMHC are Greg Christensen, RN and Brenda Beste, RN. In addition, three Meeker Memorial Commitment to Excellence awards were presented by Amy Stolt, Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) and Kurt Waldbillig, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the ongoing commitment to excellence and dedicated service demonstrated. Awards went to Anne McKinley for Nursing Leadership, Sarah Oyen and Jessie Lee were recognized for their commitment as a Nurse. Meeker Memorial Hospital & Clinics congratulates these nurses and thanks them. We recognize all Meeker Memorial nurses for their dedication and care for patients at Meeker Memorial Hospital & Clinics!

Nutritional Counseling in Killeen, TX
Nutrition is an essential part of wellness. Consuming food that contains the right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients – in the proper amounts – helps all systems of your body function as they should. Eating the right foods is not always easy, especially if you have a busy lifestyle, so nutritional supplements may be an important component of a balanced diet. Knowing which foods to eat or which supplements to take can also be difficult. Fortunately, our health professionals provide nutritional counseling in Killeen, TX, and we are glad to share a few of our favorite nutrition tips.
Chiropractor in Killeen Offers Nutritional Therapy Tips
Our chiropractor in Killen provides nutritional therapy to help patients maintain a healthy weight and optimize their health.
Choose foods from all food groups!
Foods from the five food groups: fruit, vegetable, grains, protein, and dairy make a unique contribution to a healthy diet, so include choices from each group every day.
For best results, eat every color of the rainbow each day. Plants contain phytochemicals, which give fruits and vegetables their color. Phytochemicals promote plant health and protect plants from disease – phytochemicals also have health benefits for people who eat fruits and vegetables. Red foods contain beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin C, lycopene and other antioxidants. Orange foods contain antioxidants that turn into vitamin A in your body. Green plant foods, such as green beans, contain vitamins A, C and K, iron, antioxidants, and other nutrients including lutein and folate.
Healthy Eating Tips
Limit your intake of cake, cookies, crackers and other highly processed foods, as they provide very little nutritional value and are relatively high in calories.
Choose whole grain foods, such as oatmeal, whole grain bread, and cereals, brown rice, cornmeal, and bulgar.
Enjoy life – you do not have to give up your favorite foods to eat a nutritious diet, you just need to pay attention to the quantity and frequency at which you indulge.
Use your hand to determine serving sizes. A 3-oz serving of meat is about the size of your palm; eat two servings of lean meat each day. One teaspoon is equal to the end of your thumb, from the knuckle up – use this measurement to apportion peanut butter, mayonnaise, and other high-fat foods.
Use nutritional supplements as suggested by our chiropractor in Killeen TX. We understand that you and your family try to eat well, but your busy lifestyle can interrupt your healthy eating plan. Nutritional supplements can help you fill in the nutritional gaps.

Smart Ideas: Sales Revisited
The Very Best Pillow to Discover the Best Night Sleep Deciding on the best pillow
The Very Best Pillow to Discover the Best Night Sleep Deciding on the best pillow is very important in getting a good sleep. A superb pillow will support the neck and the head without utilizing excessive pressure, since it shapes towards the actual model of the bed, therefore distributing the weight evenly and uniformly across the vertebrae. Pillows are a constant source of disappointment for many. Many pillows also affect the shoulder. A pillow that is good is made to keep the backbone in natural alignment. The human neck shapes somewhat forward and it is essential to keep up this curve when in a relaxing position. When the height of the pillow is too high to rest on their side or back, the neck is bent abnormally forward or even to the side, creating muscle pressure in the back of the neck. This kind of situation might cause resulting in obstructed breathing, narrowing of the atmosphere pipe, and often snoring, which can restrict sleep. In the event the pillow's level is too low; the neck muscles can also be enforced. A pillow is supposed to be comfortable. A large part of why is a pillow that is good is personal preference. If the pillow is comfortable, it is likely to allow you to rest nicely through the night, relax, and feel good rested each day. The surface of the pillow can also be a source of comfort – some individuals choose a pillowcase with a fresh and delicate surface, and some prefer warmth.
A Beginners Guide To Beds
A pillow should be adjustable. To aid the pillow to comply with various sleep positions, it is best that the pillow might be altered to fit shapes and the unique form and the sleeping position of an individual. A pillow must mold to an individual to ease pressure points.
The Best Advice on Beds I've found
When laying on his back, a pillow should help the pure curvature of the spine, with ample support in the head, neck and shoulders. When sleeping on the back, the height of the pillow ought to be lower than when sleeping within the sideways position. Placing a pillow or two beneath the knee further reduces any backache, and it is a softer position around the back. When laying on one side, the pillow must assist the head and neck, so the natural back is in a straight horizontal line. The weight ought to be dispersed evenly so as not to generate strain or normal bending. Many people choose to place a tiny pillow or rolled towel under their waist while lying on the side for additional support. If sleeping or resting in the stomach is recommended, the pillow ought to be relatively level, or even the head must relax entirely on the mattress, so that the head and neck are not artificially triggered on both sides. Within this position, it is typically better to place another relatively flat pillow inside the stomach to help keep the spine in normal place.

The way a diamond is set into a piece of jewelry can enhance or detract the final outcome of the jewelry piece. Usually, the setting also needs to be practical for the intended use of jewelry.
Now, there are quite a number of ways that a diamond can be set into jewelry. The most common methods found in the current market are prong setting, channel setting, bezel setting and pave setting.
Prong Settings
The prong setting is the most popular setting for solitaire diamonds and best enhances the sparkle of the diamond. The prong setting can comprise of four or six prongs. For security of the diamond, six prongs are better than four.
Whichever you decide to choose is subjective though. Note that four prongs settings may sometimes be better on a smaller diamond as it allows more light to enter into the diamond. On the other hand, six prongs used on a larger diamond are fine as enough light will still enter the diamond.
The color of the prongs will also have an effect on the diamond. Typically, rhodium tip prongs are used because they are light in color and add to the sparkle of the ring.
Channel Setting
Channel settings are extremely secure and gives a good face view of the diamond. This type of setting design cuts down the amount of light entering the diamond which results in less sparkle. The channel setting is very popular for wedding bands.
Bezel Setting
The bezel setting is a design where the entire stone is surrounded by a continuous framework of precious metal. This makes it even more secure than the channel setting.
The downside to this is that less light is able to enter the ring and it is generally more costly because more precious metal is used.
Pave Setting
This is a variation of the channel setting. In order for a ring to be considered a pave setting, one prong must come in contact with at least three other stones. With the pave setting, small diamonds or white metal chips are often used to add sparkle to the setting.

Containers and pallets used in delivery processes cost companies thousands of pounds monthly – yet many organisations are grinning and bearing the losses as these often ubiquitous transport assets are deserting the frontline rarely to be seen again. But why isn't more attention paid to the demise of the container in an industry of ever tightening margins?
Most industries today that have a delivery logistics aspect put their product in a container or on a pallet for delivery. As the margins get tighter and they push for more efficiency, the costs of these pallets and containers start to become significant in the operation of the business. Trying to ensure organisations are efficient and not simply losing these valuable assets is an increasing challenge across multiple industries.
Consider the baking industry, for instance, where trays are used to transport bread; or kegs in the brewing industry; or containers in the bulk mail environment – tracking these expensive assets has become the latest efficiency battleground in an effort to effectively track and maintain an effective delivery frontline without continually having to send in expensive new recruits.
Going AWOL
Containers tend not to be part of a closed loop system where they are counted on and off the lorry, or in and out of the customer's premises. It is usually left to the customer to be responsible for going through a process which ensures the container is accounted for and returned, but what does the customer care – after all, if you want to deliver more product, you'll just come up with another container surely? Worse still, if these assets are not going AWOL at the customer premises, then they have probably unwittingly deserted to a competitor who is also delivering to the customer and mistook them for theirs, or maybe worse, encouraged them to leave before they were lost.
The mail industry has particular issues here. All 'bulk' mail deliverers have their mail transferred in standard containers. With additional competitors in the industry since it became deregulated, those bulk mail companies find their assets co-mingled with others. As all use the same standard containers and bags, there is no easy way to keep track of which container belongs to whom.
Counting the cost
Companies are spending hundreds of thousands of pounds a year on containers that get lost too easily – all because of a lack of control or a breakdown in communication. It is all too easy to lose a few hundred containers if a competitor picks some up by accident, for instance, but not knowing where they are, or how to get them back brings the twin problems of replacement cost and the potential issue of losing revenue through not being able to deliver without the requisite number of containers to hand.
And whilst most industries are still aspiring to figure out how to tie these assets with a barcode or an RFID tag, that is a challenge for another day. RFID is adding a cost and is not yet proven. At this point in time there is no one tracking pallets at the truck level – that level of accurate control just simply doesn't exist.
Getting them home safely
The simplest form of solving this is to increase accountability and responsibility. Drivers should know what assets they have on their truck at any one time and what assets are on their customers' premises, so when the customer signs for the product, they also sign for the asset that the product is delivered on. Keeping track of both the product and the container in one place and on one device, enables full visibility of all the assets in the logistics supply chain.
As margins get ever tighter and delivery schedules ever more demanding, getting your assets home safely could mean the difference between winning or losing.

I got a lot of comments about the post on my Momma. She is that wonderful. Really. When it's all said and done for me….I hope to be half the wife and mom…woman… that she is.
Anyways, this last weekend has been crazy busy…and it doesn't look to be slowing down until..well…the end of June. 😀
I made this tasty lil' salty snack last week to sell at the Bake Sale and they were the first thing to go! They are also a favorite with my kids.
Ranch Pretzels
- 1 16oz pkg twisted pretzels
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 c oil
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, ranch mix, and oil. Place pretzels in large roasting pan. Pour mixture over the top and stir well, until all pretzels are well coated. Bake in a 225 degree for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes.

I blamed you for being 'too sweet' and hoped we wouldn't see each other again. Not a month has passed and your green eyes were fixated on me from the minute you saw me. I ended up being wrong and we smiled untill the stars came out to dance with us.

I've seen Milan, I've visted Paris, I graduated and I turned 18. But some nights my mind drifts and shifts and I can only think about the way your lips felt. That tiny little detail in this ever growing world.
You asked me why I loved her and I asked you why you didn't
I like my wine cold and my beers with a neat layer of foam. And I like my alcohol the way flows through my blood and relaxes every single nerve of my entire body.
Her voice might crack from desperation after dawn – but you will never see her hesitate the slightest 🌹
I sit and stare at my screen, hoping someday I'm not the only one speaking. I sit and stare at my screen, hoping someday it might say something back.
People may tell you what you can and can't do, – but believing them is the worst mistake you could ever make.
You have the power in your hands, – they will be amazed

Working for a Software company of course I am happy to embrace change, it's amazing to think just how far technology has developed over time. There are new solutions emerging every day that are making life easier for people, reducing unnecessary amount that we spend or enabling us to increase productivity as a result of their implementation.
I came across the article: "Why the future office will be as much about fun as work." (BBC, Jane Wakefield, 2016) The article looks into the way that employers are continuing to embrace change and are happy with the positive response they are receiving.
"Technological advances mean that staff can avoid the drudgery of commuting and work from home, coffee shops, or any number of exotic locations. So some companies are working extra-hard to make their offices more attractive places to be.
There is a host of innovative examples of where some of the most recogniseable brands are adopting some particularly unconventional styles of working in an attempt to ensure morale and productivity remain at their optimum an it appears to be having the desired effect.
For example the article highlights how Lego have achieved this advising: "Space is divided into flexible work zones with no fixed seating and no offices for managers. Employees who leave their workspace for more than one-and-a-half hours need to take all their stuff with them.
Lego even has a department for "new ways of working" and, says senior director Sophie Patrikios, the experiment has gone well.
"In our May 2016 survey, 88% of staff said they liked the choice of where to work. They get a choice of different settings to suit their activity or mood, including a quiet library, a buzzing social area with background music, comfy chairs in cosy corners or big banks of desks to share with team-mates."
So how does this apply to us here at Thinking Software?
For those of you not familiar with us here at Thinking Software, we have developed and support our Enterprise Time & Attendance solution, Rota Horizon.
It provides you with the perfect Workforce Management tool to accurately record and monitor employee attendance. Our solution seamlessly integrates with the majority of Access Control Manufacturers hardware, more information on those we currently integrate with can be found here.
The solution allows you to: Electronically plan your staff rotas more efficiently, produce over 150 Time & Attendance reports, Monitor lateness, absence & break times, Calculate employee work and overtime hours as well as exporting accumulated hours to any payroll system or excel spreadsheet to match these up against the relevant pay rates.
With reference to the article specifically, Rota Horizon really is the perfect ally to have when implementing more flexible ways of working. Whilst providing employees with the ability to complete their contractual requirements in a more flexible fashion is a great employee benefit, it is still integral from a business perspective to understand when work is being completed.
Rota Horizon has a Flextime module that allows employees to clock in and out for work, dictating when they complete these hours within reason. This, coupled with the Self Service Module presents the ideal tool to provide employees with freedom whilst ensuring their job gets done.
Self Service provides employees with an online platform from which they can make requests and clock themselves in and out for work, providing their GPS Tracked location of where they are when doing so. The module also enables staff to:
View their work schedule (past, present & future)
Request annual leave/absence
Check remaining holiday entitlement
View unallocated shifts and request to work them
Set their availability
View their flexi-time balance
So if you have Access Control and feel you could benefit from an integrated Time & Attendance solution then please do call us on 0800 854 471 or contact us below. Please also feel free to request a software web demonstration by clicking here and providing the details requested.

Rodney Smith Jr. is on a mission to change the world, one lawn at a time.
It was 2015 when Smith, then 26, came up with his idea. Smith was driving home from school one day near his home in Huntsville, Alabama, when he saw an elderly man struggling to mow his lawn. Without giving it a second thought, Smith pulled over and helped. The man was so grateful that Smith realized how difficult it was for many people to keep up with the basic lawn care and maintenance.
"There are so many people who are elderly, disabled, single moms, and veterans who cannot afford to pay for lawn care service," said Smith on his Instagram account. For many of those folks, it can be a choice between paying for expensive lawn care or paying the fines imposed by the local government for not keeping their lawns in order.
Smith wrote a post on Facebook letting people in his community know that he wanted to offer free lawn care services for those in need who lacked the time, ability or resources to maintain their own yards. He set a personal goal to mow 40 yards. Within two months, he had mowed over 100.
A few months later, Smith founded Raising Men Lawn Care Service with the mission to inspire boys (and girls) to help their neighbors in need. In 2017, he took things one step further by organizing the 50 Yard Challenge, inspiring kids worldwide to mow 50 lawns for free for people in their community who are elderly, disabled, veterans or single moms.
The challenge has a reward system similar to the belts used in the martial arts. Kids are rewarded with a new colored T-shirt for every 10 lawns they cut until they reach their goal of 50 lawns. Once they hit that milestone, they get a black T-shirt, a visit from Smith, and a brand new lawnmower to continue their work. Smith and his co-founder, Terrence Stroy, keep Raising Men Lawn Care going via donations from private sponsors and through their website. Monetary donations go towards lawn equipment, gas, drinks and snacks for the kids, etc.
There are currently around 204 kids in the 50-yard challenge, which means 10,200 yards will be mowed for free throughout the U.S.. Smith himself recently completed his annual goal of mowing lawns in all 50 states. In May, he started in Wisconsin and finished in Hawaii in July. But just because he's met that goal doesn't mean he's done for the year. There are still many requests to fulfill and grass to cut.

Please accept our condolences on the loss of your loved one. We know what you are going through. Wrongful death attorney Phil Ganong has personally experienced such losses and understands the depth of the pain and grief you may be experiencing.
As painful as losing a loved one is, we understand that the pain is multiplied when their death was caused by the negligence, carelessness, or wrongdoing of another. You feel as if you could have – or should have – done something. That you could have stopped it.
In almost every case of wrongful death we have seen at Ganong Law in Bakersfield, CA, family and loved ones are not at fault and could not have done anything to change the outcome. More than likely, that is true in your situation, too. To speak to us about your case, schedule a free consultation online or call us at (661) 327-3337.
People like you who have lost a parent, spouse, domestic partner, or child because of someone else's carelessness, negligence, or wrongdoing come to Ganong Law in Bakersfield for three reasons:
Compensation for a wrongful death could give you and your family the financial security you need. It could:
As a wrongful death attorney serving Bakersfield and surrounding areas, Phil Ganong can help you make sense of the legal and financial ramifications of your loss. We are on your team. We know how to fight the wrongdoer using the legal system to make sure that you are heard.
The question of who has the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit is controlled by statute and can be more complicated than it appears.
Wrongful death is the result of a person's or a corporation's carelessness, negligence, or wrongdoing. Possible causes of your loved ones wrongful death are a:
Your wrongful death attorney understands how difficult this time is for you. When Ganong Law accepts your case, you pay nothing until the case is resolved in your favor. This is called taking a case on a contingency basis.
We know it is hard, but you must contact a wrongful death attorney at Ganong Law in Bakersfield, CA, as soon as possible.
One reason is that there are statutes of limitation (deadlines) by which time you must file the wrongful death lawsuit.
If you miss the statute of limitations (deadline), then you are giving up your rights forever to file a wrongful death lawsuit for the loss of your son, daughter, father, mother, husband, wife, or domestic partner.
Another reason to act quickly is so your Ganong Law wrongful death attorney can begin an investigation. We need to gather documents before they are lost or destroyed and talk to witnesses before they forget or disappear.
Compensation for a wrongful death can give you and your family the financial security you need.
All of this allows your wrongful death attorney to determine all the parties who may have been liable for the loss of your loved one.
For a free, no-obligation consultation, contact a wrongful death attorney at Ganong Law in Bakersfield. Let us help.
A: If the person was married or in a domestic partnership at the time of death, the spouse or domestic partner may bring a wrongful death lawsuit. All heirs at law must be joined into the lawsuit. Heirs that don't want to participate must be joined as defendants until the court dismisses them.
If your loved one had children, the children can bring a wrongful death lawsuit. If your loved one was married but had no children, then the parents may bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
If a child under the age of 18 years old died, the parents may bring a wrongful death lawsuit.
However, it is important to speak to a wrongful death attorney because who has the right to bring a wrongful death lawsuit is controlled by statute and can be more complicated than it appears.
A: If the case goes to trial the jury awards one amount to the entire family. The judge then divides up the award basing his decision on a number of factors, such as the financial dependence each heir had on the decedent and the closeness of their relationship.
If the case settles, then the heirs divide up the settlement themselves. They can ask for assistance from the judge, arbitrator, mediator, or their wrongful death attorney.
A: No, but there are pluses and minuses to this technique. For instance, if some heirs do not get along with others, using different attorneys could reduce the hostility.
However, using different attorneys means that more money will be used to pay court costs and attorney fees, leaving the actual settlement monies less for each heir.
A: You may still be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit. California recognizes comparative negligence. This means that someone can be partially responsible (or liable) for an accident but still recover a portion of the damages to which they are entitled.
For instance, if you were awarded $2,000,000 but your father was liable for 50% of the accident, you would be entitled to $1,000,000.
The laws are complicated. The best way to know if you are entitled to bring a wrongful death lawsuit is to talk with a wrongful death attorney.

TACC's Scientific Computing Curriculum: Supporting Academia and Industry
SESSION: Recruitment, Training and Scientific Computing Curriculum
EVENT TYPE: Special Topic: Workforce Development, Communities
Panelists:Melyssa Fratkin, Bill Barth, Chap Wong, Dan Stanzione, Walton Yantis
ABSTRACT:The Grand Challenges facing our world demand breakthroughs in scientific research that are only possible with high performance computing (HPC), whether in industry or academia. Meanwhile, numerous reports have shown that there is a critical shortage of talent in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, and in particular, in HPC talent. US companies, who face the reality of "baby-boomers" retiring, will benefit from larger numbers of skilled HPC workers coming out of college – workers who will not have to be re-trained when hired. The panel discussion will focus on the importance of colleges and universities developing and teaching courses in computational science. The panel will share lessons-learned from the TACC Scientific Computing Curriculum (SCC), and express the need for an HPC-knowledgeable workforce in industry. Takeaways from the meeting will include TACC's SCC package, funded in part by Chevron.
Moderator/Panelist Details:
Melyssa Fratkin (Moderator) - Texas Advanced Computing Center
Bill Barth - Texas Advanced Computing Center
Chap Wong - Chevron Energy Technology Corporation
Dan Stanzione - Texas Advanced Computing Center

The French central bank has adopted a responsible investment charter that will govern the management of some €20bn of assets.
The charter is part of Banque de France's vision of its corporate social responsibility, which it formally documented in a charter at the end of 2016.
The central bank said its responsible investment charter reflected an ambition to be "exemplary" in how it took into account its corporate social responsibility "in all its dimensions" and applied this to its role as an institutional investor.
The responsible investment policy covers the bank's own funds, including pension assets. A spokesperson for the bank told IPE that it applied to close to €20bn of assets as at the end of December, around two-thirds of which were in portfolios linked to pension obligations.

There is no quarterback controversy in Columbus this offseason. The Buckeyes return fifth-year senior and three-year starter J.T. Barrett who holds 21 different Ohio State records at the position and is 26-4 as a starter.
Barrett is the clear-cut starter, and has been since he announced his return to Ohio State last January; that's beneficial for everybody involved, including the three talented quarterbacks behind Barrett on the depth chart.
The obvious benefit to having a veteran at the quarterback position is the leadership he brings to the quarterbacks room. It gives the younger quarterbacks an opportunity to watch and observe what it takes to be successful at the position before they have to do it themselves.
But there's also a hidden benefit to having a guy with as much experience as Barrett: extra practice reps for the younger players.
"It'll be how you separate yourself statistically and [if] you can lead a team to go score touchdowns, and score points. And they're going to get plenty of reps."– Urban Meyer
As a fifth-year senior entering his third year preparing as a starter, Barrett does not need nearly as many practice reps as a younger starter. This frees up some first-team reps for the younger quarterbacks
"With every rep, it's sometimes harder to get that second or third quarterback a rep when the first guy's a new quarterback because he's going to take them all," Urban Meyer said.
Meyer gave the example of the quarterback situation when he first arrived. Braxton Miller was a young starter – a true sophomore – and needed many reps to learn the position and get comfortable with the new offense. This left very few for backup Kenny Guiton, making his success all the more amazing.
"Kenny Guiton is legendary around here because we won games for us without getting the one-on-one reps," Meyer said. "But when you have an established guy, it's easier to stick the other guy in there."
With Barrett as the established guy, Joe Burrow, Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell will each get each get plenty of first-team reps, giving each the opportunity to showcase their abilities and make their case in the backup quarterback race – a race Meyer said is too close to call at this point.
"It's very close," Meyer said on BTN during Big Ten media days. "Right now it's between Joe Burrow and Dwayne Haskins. Tate Martell – he's shown flashes too, so we're anxious to give Tate a little more reps too and see what he can do."
Meyer said he's not prepared to name a backup quarterback yet, or even a frontrunner between Burrow and Haskins. That decision will likely come shortly before the season, and it's one Buckeye fans are anxiously awaiting.
Though it's only a backup quarterback job, there's a good chance that player will see meaningful minutes in 2017, if history is any indicator. The second-string quarterback has been called upon to play meaningful game minutes almost every season since Meyer's arrival with 2016 being the lone exception.
But even if the backup doesn't see the field in any meaningful capacity this season, it's still a huge position battle because of what's set to happen next offseason. With Barrett graduating, the starting spot will be open. Whoever wins the backup spot this year is likely the frontrunner for the starting job next season.
For now though, it's too close to call, and Meyer is using those extra practice reps to find a bit of separation between the quarterbacks.
"It'll be how you separate yourself statistically and [if] you can lead a team to go score touchdowns, and score points," Meyer said. "And they're going to get plenty of reps."

Embroidery Help Needed !
I am a novice when it comes to hand embroidery- learning those skills from the past, without a tutor. I see so many beautiful embroidered pieces on the blogs and I know the embellishment was not part of the pattern. Here is where I get stuck. The sheeps' curls were printed, so I could follow that. There really are no curls on the corner of the smaller sheep. The basket handle and rim I tried to fill in myself.
I'm horribly disappointed withe the stars. I will be pulling out the yellow filling that I made way too messy. But what do I do to keep the stars separate and yet not make it too busy with the branches that filter through? I would color it in with the crayon technique but I can't iron them or I lose the transfer pattern. I suppose I could go over it with a pen.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I have the Aunt Martha's iron on transfers plus some Crabapple Hill patterns in my stash.
How do you know what to fill with if it's not a leaf or flower?
When you are not using counted cross stitch material how do you know the best layout? I"m using muslin and then I will soak it in coffee or tea.
Are there any sites that have great examples that I can work from?

I like to use cotton too - either plain or with a very subtle design. Are you using a lightweight fusible interfacing on the back? It helps to hide stitches and thresds. Normally with Crabapple Hill, only a basic backstitch for the outline is called for...sometimes they have you do a little padding when doing lazy daisy stitches for a flower. Do your instructions call for filling in the star? I use 2 strands of DMC and 1 strand when doing finer details. You might try www.embroidery.rocksea.org - there are some nice stitching tutorials.
Your sheep and their curls look very nice!

I was blog hopping and ran across your post. I love to stitch but I have yet to fill in any thing so I can't really help you with the stars. I can tell you that I use a washable pen to transfer my images onto the fabric and it is wonderful. I can trace my pattern, color with crayon(if I choose), iron and then stitch. Once finished I just run water over and the pen mark erases. So easy!
After that I dye with coffee.

I have a transfer pen, I'll have to try that.
My transfer doesn't come with instructions so I don't know what they had in mind. I tried to look on the web to see if anyone had posted a completed one but so far no luck.
Thank you for the comments!

I really like the sheep and the basket, you did a great job! Not sure what to do with the stars though. You are right, it will look pretty "busy" if you fill them in but if you don't, they won't show up very well. Hope someone else has some ideas!

Mushroom ID Walk with Mush Luv
Join Charlie and Nina from Mush Luv as they walk through Carter Jones Park and the Fonticello Food Forest looking to see what fungal life is out and about! During the walk we will learn how to observe different fungal features and what they may be growing on. Depending on what we find, we will collect some specimens to further identify at our Mushroom ID Table along with Pat Mitchell from the Blue Ridge Mycological Society.
Mushroom Garden Installation with Mush Luv
After the Mycophagy, learn how to grow your own mushrooms! Nina and Charlie are back on to teach some low tek, outdoor methods for growing mushrooms that anyone can use. We will work with Oyster mushrooms to grow a bed for the garden or a "layer-cake" that can be fruited in a smaller space. Mush Luv will have spawn available for sale so you can put these methods into practice straight away!
Myceliumbilical Chord w/ Stephanie Power & We are Creatures
Myceliumbilical Chord, a puppet show: presents an all-star lineup of lovable local talent bringing to life the mystical, musical, micro/macroscopic magic of mushrooms. Bring yer own magic too, this is an interactive trip we'll take together...there's no telling what doors we will open, and where we will end up (but have a strong sense it'll be a place worth celebrating) Script and narration by local performer Stephanie Power, puppet creations provided by local art educator Emily Hall, and full performance by a whole cast of beautiful creatures!
Wonder Session with Laura's Botanicals
Before we ingest we encounter and it is in the development of wonder than we can deepen our understanding of the plant world. Based on our recent education with herbalist Rebecca Altman (California) and our own work as a nature specialist this gathering is an hour long meeting beneath a chosen tree. We begin with the invitation to give the gift of Mullein for its ability to open up communication with us. We then lead several nature based exercises to build our awareness of wonder. We usually end with the making of a flower essence and discuss which of the exercises were the most effective for us at this time. These activities might evoke emotional responses but otherwise there are no other factors to make this activity unapproachable to others. Participants do not need a background in intuitive herbal medicine to grasp the concepts in this work.
TEA with Laura's Botanicals
Energetic reset for those overstimulated and needing an opportunity for grounding. We will taste a water-based herbal preparation and enjoy the beautiful indoor library space of the Mulberry house
Sculpture! with Mica Rose
In this workshop we will explore the intersecting themes of place, identity, and environmental justice. Using natural material we find on site, we will create a collaborative sculpture that offers an opportunity to reflect on our place within nature and our relationship to the land. This is part of an ongoing body of work led by Mica which has been woven together with many people and groups they work with. Mica Rose is a multimedia artist and musician, art and outdoor facilitator, and queer mother from Richmond, Va. They grew up exploring the wildness among and between the cityscape. Believing that art has the power to speak to and from a part of ourselves beyond words, they are passionate about cultivating space for creative exploration.
Mycophagy Dinner by Seeds of Peace
Since 1986, the Seeds of Peace Collective has provided logistical support and trainings to activists struggling on the front lines for social, environmental, and economic justice. They are a small but motivated group of individuals dedicated to furnishing the basics–namely, food, water, and skill sets–essential to the success of direct action campaigns and mass mobilizations. They will provide a delicious Mushroom-themed dinner from mostly donated food and produce.
If you or a farm you know are able to donate to this dinner, please contact email@example.com
Kids Exploration Station
Following Mica's class, they will open up the space as a kid-friendly exploration space. Please note, this area will not be supervised.
Musical Contributors:
Infinite Third
St. Petersburg, FL-based Billy Mays III chose his moniker, Infinite Third, to represent an inner duality. 'Infinite' being the part that's connected to greater consciousness. 'Third' representing the human element. It follows that his endless layers of ethereal guitar, primal beats, and pulsing drones act as conduit for something greater than the sum of their parts. Songs are often improvised journeys through undefined scales, structured and concise, but with room for random moments of openness – the perfect gateway into experimental music. There will be a mushroom-themed visual projection during his show.
Cole Sullivan
Cole is a Richmond, Virginia born musician who began writing and performing his original songs in early 2007 and has been, for the most part, self-taught. His music and lyrics convey a view of life driven by a passion for philosophy, sustainability, and self-love.

This event is raising funds for the
New Moon Mycology Summit
, an inclusive and inter-disciplinary learning experience for advancing ecological and social justice. The New Moon Mycology Summit, taking place August 29- September 2, 2019, needs funds to pay presenters while maintaining a "pay-what-you-can, no one turned away for lack of funds" ticket entry. Your donation to the Virginia Mycelial Gathering will help us tremendously!
The Virginia Mycelial Gathering will be hosted at the
Earth Folk Collective
, a collective of artists, activists, food growers, healers, travelers, and neighbors. It exists as an incubator/vortex for residency programs, public performances, potlucks, art builds, and educational workshops.
A special mycophagy meal will be prepared by
Seeds of Peace Collective
which provides logistical support and trainings to activists struggling on the front lines for social, environmental, and economic justice.
A portion of the donations raised during this event will go to them for furthering their work.
We believe that nobody should be turned away due to lack of financial resources, so the entrance fee is sliding-scale. This full spring gathering brings energy and focus to our efforts to spearhead another multi-day grassroots event later in the year. Our core organizers are looking for community involvement and support by creating a space where everyone can come together and participate in discussions, actions, and organizing. We are here to make this educational content accessible for everyone, and hope people feel empowered to support our vision to sustain this accessibility while also bringing instructors from across the globe.
To learn more please take a look at last year's New Moon Mycology Summit (link below); our long term vision is to sustain and grow this event.

She eagerly skipped to class this week and jumped happily into the pool. She was cheery the whole time - I could see the fear and nervousness still in her eyes but she seemed newly determined and confident to do everything, even as her darling little legs shook in fear. So proud, relieved and slightly bewildered by this radical change! Although she had always done everything the teacher asked in class, and she was still scared (of drowning), now she had decided she wanted to learn, enjoy it and improve. Face the fear and do it anyway, as they say, huh?
After class Lily hopped into the 'junior pool' for a splash around with her brother. There was a swimming noodle she started using to swim along (which was already a pretty big step for her) then all of a sudden I saw her discard the noodle and start launching herself into the pool - head under water, arms flailing, legs kicking, without touching the bottom..... why yes, Virginia, I do believe we can call this swimming?!?!
|Starting off with a noodle and gaining confidence
I was so shocked, proud and amazed to see her go. I did not intrude, offer instruction or advice, except to call out a couple of encouragements. Baby girl was doing it for herself! I just snapped photos and marveled at her determination suddenly unfolding - her newly found confidence to utilise all these skills she was learning and actually swim - guess she just decided, on only her second class back, that today was the day. And, she really was swimming. Over and over again, she launched into the pool. Diving in, powering those chubby legs and arms along and actually making some great lengths in the water. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't swimming laps around the pool in one go or anything, but she was swimming for five to ten seconds each time without touching the bottom. She even flipped over and swam on her back a few times, persevering even though she swallowed quite a few litres of delicious pool water!
|My little swimmer all decked out in her swim gear and ready to launch!
|Go, baby, go!
|Fiercely churning the water!
It was such a leap for her, to make strides in actually swimming. I felt so privileged to watch this moment unfold. She wasn't doing it for an audience but just in her own little world, determined to conquer this skill and overcome a very real fear. Just precious.
You go, my little fishie!

There are usually two busy weekends each year - Thanksgiving weekend and the weekend after. This year was no exception.
We set up our shop, but when things are crowded, most people want to just get in and out as parking is at a premium around here. This year, we offered free cocoa and hot cider on Saturday and Sunday both weeks and at least had a few folks stop into the shop for that! Last Sunday was bitterly cold and we were glad we had something to help our customers warm up a bit.
Things should be a bit more leisurely the next two weeks and that is fine with me.
I was surprised by a google alert this morning that led to this article which is about keeping Christmas green, and mentions Frog Hollow!
Every year during "tree season", we have a day or two (and sometimes more) of rain or other inclement weather. The rain is the worst though.
I was hoping for a day or two of respite in the middle of the week, but it is stretching out and people are coming out despite the pouring rain.
He was outside off and on all day today and when he wasn't out in the rain, he was spending his time wrapped in a big old dry towel, sleeping!
This is his post rain garb! Poor baby...

Our working philosophy is expressed through our complete itinerary - leading from an initial interior design idea to its final realisation.
Discover what we can offer you along the way!
We appraise every single decor project from all conceivable angles, analysing your specific needs in every situation.
We keep the overall vision for the project before us constantly, along with the result that we want to achieve.
Every single project we embark on is tailored to the demands of the client and the site.
We always base the interior design choices on a meticulous study of the aesthetic, functional and stylistic context of the site.
In this way we transform your design dream into a reality to be lived in.
From decor consultancy to the project design, supply and worksite co-ordination, our turnkey service releases you from all commitments, worries and inconveniences.
We facilitate the itinerary and ensure an unforgettable arrival.
Every project is sparked by an idea
Our role is to transform it into reality
Whether we are dealing with a shell structure that has to be decorated from scratch or with a renovation that will improve the aesthetic appearance of a building, the way we work is based on a tested and reliable workflow.
After an initial appraisal of the objectives and the available budget, we develop the first proposals by defining the stylistic matrix and selecting the products most appropriate for expressing value to the decor concept.
Our proposals are also accompanied by renderings that demonstrate to you exactly what the end result will look like.
Starting from this basis, and incorporating the client's wishes and suggestions, we then make the changes necessary to draw up the definitive project and, finally, the working drawings, specifications and bills of quantities.
We have a flexible approach, which means that we can either directly manage all the phases of the project ourselves, or we can play a support role for professionals in charge of a project, offering targeted expert interior design consultancy.
In both cases our mission is one and the same: to create an interior that leaves everyone wonderstruck by its beauty!
Dressing design with
beauty that's Made in Italy
Our selection of products includes: floors and wall coverings, bathroom fixtures and furnishings, resins and plasters, doors, windows and stairs, furnishings, tables and chairs, soft furnishings and fabrics, lighting fixtures, fitted kitchens and electrical appliances, decorations and accessories.
We offer an exceptionally complete array of materials, furnishings and finishes which showcase Made in Italy production as the star of the show. These materials always place outstanding quality and aesthetic beauty in the limelight.
In view of our knowledge of the technical characteristics of the products and their optimal use, we know how to co-ordinate them harmoniously into every specific stylistic context so that they respond to the clients' tastes and requirements.
Every single project we deliver is tailor-made, since our project managers are experts in identifying and bringing together the most appropriate materials and furnishings in such a way that the stylistic choices, the material effects and the originality of the details are set off to their best advantage.
For us, customisation is not an option, but a fact!
Creative quality at the service
of the interior design project
Years of experience in the market have allowed us to identify a wide network of companies which we can trust to for the supply of serial collections or for the creation of bespoke items.
The variety of the products at our disposal extends to an almost infinite range. This exceptional freedom of choice enables us to select collections that are perfectly in tune with the specific stylistic context of the project.
In view of our consolidated liaison with specialised craft enterprises, we can also produce completely new collections of furnishings, chairs, bathroom fixtures, fabrics and furnishing accessories, and can also create one-off items crafted to specifications furnished directly by the client.
Our project managers are directly responsible for all the phases of the supply process. This is a fundamental element of our service, which guarantees compliance with timeframes and ensures the quality control that delivers a final result which corresponds fully to the agreed project.
A single contact for a unique project.
Management, co-ordination and supervision
Using the strength of professional expertise acquired in the field, enhanced by constant updating, our project managers are able to identify the solutions which ensure that every ambience responds optimally to its specific function, enhancing the aesthetic characteristics while adhering fully to the budget requirements.
Starting from the preliminary site surveys, our project managers will organise, manage and supervise every single phase of the project. They take sole charge of all the suppliers and technical operators involved in the project.
This possibility of working with a single contact person thus guarantees full control of all the logistic and operational phases.
These comprise compliance with the timeframes for the production and supply of materials and furnishings, through quality control and the management of complex and branching projects, right up to the coordination of the laying and assembly teams at the worksite.
The certainty of quality materialises on the worksite
and continues in the after-sales service
The worksite is the "playing field" where all the previous phases – from consultancy to the production of bespoke furnishings – come together to transform into reality what up to a moment before was merely a project or an idea.
Specialised laying and assembly teams, coordinated and supervised by our project managers, ensure seamless laying and assembly of all the components, materials and finishes.
The laying and assembly operations are performed following a consolidated schedule of work phases, which will reduce installation times to a minimum without affecting the perfection of the final result.
This development of the scheduled on-site work ensures that all phases are performed professionally and by the book.
But our services don't end here! Even when the works on site are completed, we continue to offer our clients after-sales service and advice about maintenance, so that the interior decor maintains at length all the beauty of when it was first delivered.
Drawing upon the strength of our interior decor experience, we can add value to your concept through expert consultancy on materials and the selection of decor elements, as well as offering qualified support in interior design.
We will take charge of the global management of the project, even as the phases branch out and become more complex:
from punctual supply of the materials and the furnishings, through quality control and right up to the coordination of the laying and assembly teams at the worksite.
When you choose us as partner you can forget about all the logistics issues and devote yourself to developing your creative vision in total freedom.
