Solid Advice About Hvac That Can Help Anyone
Your home is only enjoyable when it's comfortable. A well-maintained HVAC system is a must. Without taking care of the HVAC system, you will be uncomfortable while you wait for an expensive repair. There are many useful tips below that can help you maintain your HVAC properly.
Be aware of the type of system that is installed in your home prior to calling a contractor to fix it. Look for the model and brand number. Then, you'll be ready to tell the contractor what they need to know.
Go through your home before you call HVAC professional. Figure out which rooms are too cool or warm. That way, the contractor will have an easier time diagnosing the problem and repairing it fast.
When you call an HVAC system for help, you need to be aware of what you need them to do before calling. You can't get a decent estimate over a telephone, so disregard those numbers and wait until they view your system. In addition, you need to be able to tell the contractor what you have already tried. So, have this information ready.
Clean the condenser on your debris regularly. Things pile up after storms and damage your system. The whole thing can overheat, causing major problems and possibly an enormous expense for you.
Make sure your condenser fan is in good working order by wiping down the fan blades and the coils. For safety, always turn the power off first. Then, take the grill off, pull the blades out, and gently clean them as well as the unit itself.
Check to determine if the fan condenser on your HVAC system is equipped with oil ports, and if it is, be sure to lubricate every year. Such ports tend to have coverings made of rubber or metal. You should select an SAE 20 oil since it is lightweight and does not contain detergent. Be sure to use just 10 drops or so, or your system may overfill.
When selecting the spot to put the outdoor compressor for your unit, choose somewhere that gets plenty of shade. This will limit the work that it has to do.
Your system should be checked twice a year. The spring and autumn times are the best time to have it checked. A quick check is worth it to avoid problems down the road.
Installing a programmable digital thermostat can help save money. This will help you to keep the temperature at optimal levels. Take advantage of the convenience of the ability to control many programable thermostats from your favorite electronic device.
Turn your AC off if no one is at home. By raising the temperature from, for example 78 to 80, your house will be warmer, but only up to 80 before your AC kicks in. If you decide to set the temperature to 82 or 83 or so on, your AC won't go on until it reaches that temperature. Leaving your heating or cooling running full blast while you are away is a waste of money and energy.
Now you know just how to get a quality HVAC system. Do not avoid the regular servicing your unit requires. Use the above tips to make sure it keeps working properly.…

The last owner of BHS before it entered administration has accused prior owner Sir Philip Green for breaking his promise to resolve the pension problems facing the retailer before it changed hands.
According to a submission to MPs this week, Dominic Chappell – whose firm Retail Acquisitions controversially acquired the department store chain from Green's Arcadia Group for just £1 in March 2015 – said he had bid for BHS provided the business was debt-free and that Green allegedly promised to help Chappell secure credit insurance to stay afloat.
"Expert advice was taken by (Retail Acquisitions) prior to purchase concerning the pension," Chappell told The Guardian.
"It was stated by all, including Arcadia and Sir Philip Green, that the pension was in the process of being sorted and was not something that the new owners and manager of BHS would be liable for, provided BHS continued to make the annual contributions for the yearly shortfall and continued engaging with the pension trustees."
Let's put the question to you, our readers. Do you think Sir Philip Green deserves to have his knighthood stripped?
— Retail Gazette (@retailgazette) October 19, 2016
Chappell's submission was made to Westminster the day before yesterday's parliamentary debate around the collapse xof BHS and whether Green should be stripped of his knighthood.
He also told The Guardian that he agreed with the MPs' unanimous vote in favour of removing Green's honorary title, although that power laid with the Honours Forfeiture Committee.
"He pushed the business over and he did not stick to his word," Chappell said.
"He is a bully and a nasty individual. I am bitter about what has happened.
READ MORE: No more "Sir" for you: MPs back motion to strip Philip Green of knighthood
"There are 11,000 people out of work that would not have been if he had stuck to his word, and there is carnage on the high street."
BHS collapsed 13 months after it was acquired by Chappell, who has a history of bankruptcy and no retail experience, and subsequent revelation of a £571 million pension black hole led to a drawn out and publicised parliamentary investigation.
However, according to evidence seen by MPs Chappell's firm Retail Acquisitions received payments of at least £17 million from the retailer.

A spokesperson for Green and Arcadia Group said they had no plans to make a statement about the MPs' debate and Chappell's comments.

CBC Radio's "The Current" (88.5 FM) broadcast an in-depth interview with Darin Barney, Wednesday March 21, at 9.30 am. The interview was a prelude to Darin's Hart House lecture at the University of Toronto on Thursday March 22.
When asked about the relationship between citizenship and contemporary technology, Professor Barney had the following to say : "The scale of contemporary technology is such that there is an urgent need to subject its possibilities to political judgment. In democratic contexts, this means that technology must be approached as a matter of citizenship. We can no longer pretend that technology is not political, or leave it to corporate and military leaders, scientists, engineers and ethicists to settle technological controversies. But how do we even begin to think about the relationship between technology and citizenship? My lecture is intended as a small step in the direction of answering this question."

Piper will only get in the bath if she gets to "help" give Thaddeus a bath. Which means that she can pour water on him while I soap him up. He usually has that look on his face the whole time!
He is fasinated by her. When she comes in the room he will stop whatever it as that he was chewing on and watch her! He loves when she comes and talks to him. Hopefully the love they both have for each other will last???

Students who sustain a blood borne pathogen exposure during clinical coursework are to call Student Health (843-792-3664) during normal operating hours (Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM) to report the exposure. For exposures that occur at MUSC when Student Health Services is closed (after hours, weekends, or holidays), call the MUSC operator (843-792-2123) and have the Hospital Supervisor paged to your extension. If a Hospital Supervisor is not available, have the operator page Dr. Blumenthal to your extension.
Students who sustain an exposure during a rotation at a non-MUSC clinical site are to follow the protocol of that institution and can be seen at MUSC Student Health for any needed follow up (see Non-MUSC Off-Campus Clinical Sites below). Students who are in Charleston on an off-campus clinical rotation can call MUSC Student Health for consultation.
Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure Protocols specific to your location are provided below:
- MUSC Campus - Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure Protocol (pdf)
- MUSC Dental Students - Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure Protocol (pdf)
- MUSC Off-Campus Clinics Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure Protocol (pdf)
- Non-MUSC Off-Campus Clinical Site - Blood Borne Pathogen Protocol Exposure Protocol (pdf)
Immediate Protocol for All Blood Borne Pathogen Exposures includes:
- Percutaneous Injuries (punctures, lacerations) – Wash with Soap and Water for 5 minutes.
- Non-intact Skin (open abrasions, cuts). Wash with Soap and Water for 5 minutes.
- Mucous membranes (splashes to eyes, mouth, etc.): Flush extensively with water X 5 minutes.
2. REPORT THE EXPOSURE ASAP. For exposures on MUSC campus or MUSC-affiliated Clinics:
- Week Day Exposures: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM – After reporting the exposure to your supervisor, call Student Health (792-3664). A Student Health provider will review the nature of the exposure and will assist in the appropriate management of the exposure.
- Afterhours exposures, weekends, holidays: Call the MUSC operator (843-792-2123) and have the Hospital Supervisor paged to your extension. If a Hospital Supervisor is not available, have the operator page Dr. Blumenthal to your extension.
3. LAB TESTING ON SOURCE: Make sure the source patient remains available to have their blood drawn and be sent for STAT labs (HIV, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Hepatitis C Antibody). HIV results on the source patient should ideally be known within 1-2 hours of the exposure, in the event antiviral treatment needs to be initiated.
- Complete Source Patient Lab Request Form for protocol labs – lab request form can be downloaded and printed from this site or Student Health can FAX the lab request to your to your location:
- Draw (1) Gold Top Serum Separator Tube (5 mL minimum volume).
- Label the blood specimen tubes with: Source Patient Name, DOB, and MRN.
- Place labeled specimen and lab request in a Biohazard Bag and immediately transport to MUSC Lab located on the 3rd floor of the Children's Hospital, SPECIMEN RECEIVING (792-0707) Room # 319 or TUBE to #99.
4. DOCUMENTATION OF EXPOSURE after steps 1-3 completed
- Complete the MUSC Blood Borne Pathogen Assessment Form

Hepatitis B surface Antigen and Hepatitis C Antibody results are usually available within 24 hours.
Source Patient Baseline Labs (HIV,HBsAg, HCV) all negative: No further action is necessary.
The protocol for students who sustain an exposure to Blood Borne Pathogen (+) Source Patients includes:
- HIV + Source Patient – the risk of HIV transmission from a percutaneous exposure (needle stick, puncture wound, etc.) is estimated to be 3 in 1,000. The transmission risk of a blood splash to the mucus membranes (eye, nose, mouth) is lower (~ 1 in 1,000). The healthcare provider at Student Health will discuss with the student the benefits and risks of anti-viral medications, as well as the lab protocol for monitoring the student. If indicated, anti-viral medication should ideally be started on the exposed student within 2 hours of the exposure, and continued for 28 days.
- Hepatitis B Surface Antigen + Source Patient - For students who completed the hepatitis B vaccine series and have a post-vaccine immune antibody titer (HBsAb ≥ 10 mIU/mL), no further action is necessary. For students who have not completed the hepatitis B vaccine series or did not develop immunity after completing the vaccine series, Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) should be given as soon as possible, and repeated 1 month later. Unimmunized students should additionally receive the Hepatitis B vaccine series.
- Hepatitis C + Source Patients: The risk of Hepatitis C transmission from a percutaneous injury is estimated to be close to 2%. There is not an antiviral medication protocol recommended for the period immediately following a hepatitis C exposure, but highly effective anti-viral medications are available to be initiated at an early point in the infection if needed. The exposed student will have labs monitored at regular intervals to detect whether or not hepatitis C transmission has occurred.

The African problem is not Israel's. A billion Africans would be happy to move into Israel, and the government's policy toward illegal immigrants invites them. About 9,000 Africans have crossed illegally into Israel, with more coming daily. The government announced it would deport them to Egypt, but failed to do so for fear of the Western media. The same media and human rights groups show little concern over the refugees' treatment in African countries, but Jews are supposed to be nice and welcome the Africans.
Kibbutzim and human rights groups in Israel perpetuate the crime by employing and subsidizing illegal immigrants, who are criminals. Kibbutzim may stop such practice soon as the Africans, incited by leftist activists, demand the minimum wage even though Palestinian illegals work for a fraction of it.
Sensitive Jews send massive amounts of clothes, food, medicine, and even money to African illegals even though many Israeli Jews are in dire need of help. Helping fellow Jews is xenophobic and outdated; aiding African illegals is chic. Tel Aviv municipality is a chic municipality, and so it filled public bomb shelters with Africans instead of sending them back to the road. What if Jews need to use those shelters?
Any welfare program sends ripples of systemic distortion through society. American blacks who receive abundant welfare don't want to work. Sub-Saharan Africans bred to unmanageable numbers on international welfare and now demand still more of it to survive. Jewish sympathy for the criminals who entered our country illegally produces a similarly far-reaching result: as the news of good treatment by stupid Jews spreads to Africa, more illegals stream into Israel. They are not refugees: even those from Darfur were already relatively safe in Egypt, and most Africans enter Israel illegally for plain economic reasons.
The burden they impose on Israel is disproportional. Though Israel harbors 200,000 migrant laborers, about half of them illegal, they at least have some skills; the Africans don't. Unlike most other migrants, Africans come in families and breed quickly, imposing considerable costs on the impoverished Jewish health-care system. (Even if it were rich, why should we pay for them?)
The Africans are anything but loyal Jews. Many of them are Christians. They come from countries which lack diplomatic relations with Israel, and so they are indoctrinated with anti-Zionist propaganda. Their culture is as far from Jewish as one can imagine. Israel cannot assimilate Ethiopian "Jews," and other Africans who don't even pretend to be Jewish.
Israel is wrong to place the blame on Egypt. Sinai is huge, and Egyptian police there really cannot intercept all the migrants; regular shootings of migrants show that the Egyptians are trying to do their job. It is Israel's job to guard its border with Egypt. There are many ways to do so. Bedouin can be employed for hunting the infiltrators. Mobile units of Border Police can search for the migrants and deport them on-the-spot, rather than delivering them to prisons or bus stops.
Those who are already in Israel can be deported to Egypt—or better still, to Gaza. The place is full of UNRWA refugee camps, so let them deal with the Africans. If Hamas deports them to Egypt, fine. If not, they are Hamas' problem.

Okay. I can do that.Is it okay if I make the crystal look a little different?
Cool. I'll have the new design ready by tomorrow night, I think.From which cell does the player enter "Bagel's Realm"?
What do you think of the idea that the crystal fell from space a long time ago and someone drug it up out of the ocean? It would be partially stuck inside a rock, with some seashells on it and whatnot.

TOMS RIVER, NJ - An online fundraiser has started to help a family formerly from Hasbrouck Heights whose father recently passed away after an accident in the home.
Juan Pablo Granados was working under his truck when it fell off the ramps and on him in late January, according to news reports. He was found by his wife, Sophia. His son, Pablo, jacked the truck off his father and removed him from under the vehicle. First responders helicoptered him to Jersey Shore Medical Center. Two weeks later he succumbed to his injuries. His wife was holding his hands when he passed on Thursday, February 6.
Granados leaves behind his wife, Sophia, and five children, John, Oscar, Pablo, Crystal, and Michael. He came to the United States with his family from El Salvador at age eight. He is a graduate of Fort Lee High School.
The wake was held on Monday, February 10 at A.K. Macagna Funeral Home in Cliffside Park. The immediate family was surrounded by extended family, their church family, and friends. They celebrated Granados in song, prayer, and shared memories. People spoke of his kindness, friendship, and generosity. He was laid to rest at George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus, NJ.
The Granados family lived in Hasbrouck Heights for ten years. The children attended the Hasbrouck Heights school district. They were involved in rec sports and high school sports, including football, track, and basketball. Granados is the former co-owner of Subworks sandwich shop on the corner of Terrace Avenue and Washington Place. The family moved to South Jersey two years ago.
According to his son Pablo, Granados loved food, fishing, and the Green Bay Packers.
An online fundraising page has begun to help the family. It can be reached here Granados' Family Fundraiser.

Happy Friday, everyone! I can't believe that March is almost over. But I'm so excited that Spring is finally here! I for one, am so ready for the warmer weather. One of my favourite things is being able to curl up outside with a nice book and I can't wait for some new books to read.
This month I'm starting something brand new! Since I'm a teacher, I love being able to recommend books to younger readers. I also love easy and light reads for the spring and summer. Because of this, I want to branch out into reading more middle grade releases. My new monthly feature will highlight new and upcoming middle grade releases. These lists will be perfect for anyone who loves middle grade reads, as well as teachers and parents!
Without further rambling, let's take a look at some of the newest middle grade books to release in April 2019!
April 2nd
If home is where the heart is, what would happen if you lost it? Compassion and humour infuse the story of a family caught in financial crisis and a girl struggling to form her own identity.
It's the first day of summer and Rachel's thirteenth birthday. She can't wait to head to the lake with her best friend, Micah! But as summer unfolds, every day seems to get more complicated. Her "fun" new job taking care of the neighbours' farm animals quickly becomes a challenge, whether she's being pecked by chickens or having to dodge a charging pig at feeding time. At home, her parents are more worried about money than usual, and their arguments over bills intensify. Fortunately, Rachel can count on Micah to help her cope with all the stress. But Micah seems to want their relationship to go beyond friendship, and though Rachel almost wishes for that, too, she can't force herself to feel "that way" about him. In fact, she isn't sure she can feel that way about any boy — or what that means.
Cat and her brother Chicken have always had a very special bond–Cat is one of the few people who can keep Chicken happy. When he has a "meltdown" she's the one who scratches his back and reads his favorite story. She's the one who knows what Chicken needs. Since their mom has had to work double-hard to keep their family afloat after their father passed away, Cat has been the glue holding her family together.
But even the strongest glue sometimes struggles to hold. When a summer trip doesn't go according to plan, Cat and Chicken end up spending three weeks with grandparents they never knew. For the first time in years, Cat has the opportunity to be a kid again, and the journey she takes shows that even the most broken or strained relationships can be healed if people take the time to walk in one another's shoes.
Otto and Sheed are the local sleuths in their zany Virginia town, masters of unraveling mischief using their unmatched powers of deduction. And as the summer winds down and the first day of school looms, the boys are craving just a little bit more time for fun, even as they bicker over what kind of fun they want to have. That is, until a mysterious man appears with a camera that literally freezes time. Now, with the help of some very strange people and even stranger creatures, Otto and Sheed will have to put aside their differences to save their town—and each other—before time stops for good.
Adventure and discover with the bold and intrepid Becket Branch when her family's move from city to a country farm means big changes!
Everything is changing for Becket Branch. From subways to sidewalks to safety rules, Becket is a city kid born and raised. Now the Branch family is trading urban bustle for big green fields and moving to Gran's farm, where Becket has to make sense of new routines from feeding animals to baling hay. And as much as Becket loves to yell "Beautiful Alert!" there's a lot about the countryside that is just plain odd.
But Becket is ready to put her own spin on country life. Whether selling her mouth-puckering lemonade, feeding hostile hens, or trying to make a best friend of her new neighbor Frieda Franca, Becket is determined to use her city smarts to get a grip on farm living. Laugh and learn with Becket as she mucks through the messy, exuberant human experience of change she didn't ask for, in a story that sparkles with quirky characters and lasting connections.
A sweet and hilarious chapter book about a boy and a bat, two unlikely friends who bond over loneliness, jellyrolls and Darth Vader.
Daniel Misumi has just moved to a new house. It's big and old and far away from his friends and his life before. AND it's haunted . . . or is it?
Megabat was just napping on a papaya one day when he was stuffed in a box and shipped halfway across the world. Now he's living in an old house far from home, feeling sorry for himself and accidentally scaring the people who live there.
Daniel realizes it's not a ghost in his new house. It's a bat. And he can talk. And he's actually kind of cute.
Megabat realizes that not every human wants to whack him with a broom. This one shares his smooshfruit.
Add some buttermelon, juice boxes, a lightsaber and a common enemy and you've got a new friendship in the making!
This charming, funny story is brought to life by Kass Reich's warm and adorable illustrations. There's never been a bat this cute — readers will be rooting for Megabat and Daniel from page one!
Told in alternating points of view from Chess, Emma, and Finn Greystone, Greystone Secrets #1: The Strangers is the beginning of a new page-turning adventure that examines assumptions about identity, family, and home, from the master of middle grade suspense.
What makes you you?
The Greystone kids thought they knew. Chess has always been the protector over his younger siblings, Emma loves math, and Finn does what Finn does best—acting silly and being adored. They've been a happy family, just the three of them and their mom.
But everything changes when reports of three kidnapped children—who share the same first and middle names, ages, and exact birth dates as the Greystone kids—reach the Greystone family. This bizarre coincidence makes them wonder: Who exactly are these strangers? Before Chess, Emma, and Finn can question their mom about it, she takes off on a mysterious work trip. But puzzling clues left behind lead to complex codes, hidden rooms, and a dangerous secret that will turn their world upside down.
April 9th

Twelve-year-old painter Esther can't wait to attend Camp Vermeer, the most prestigious art camp around. But when her stepdad accidentally drives up the wrong mountain, she lands at Camp Archimedes—a math camp!
Determined to prove herself to the other campers, she tackles a brain-teaser that's supposed to be impossible—and solves it in a single day. But not everyone is happy about it . . . someone wants her out of camp at any cost, and starts leaving cryptic, threatening notes all over the camp's grounds.

Welcome to Zoone: crossroads of the multiverse. In this inventive fantasy, fans of Diana Wynne Jones and Lisa McMann will step through an enchanted doorway and into a world filled with infinite portals to new—and sometimes perilous—lands.
When a bright blue winged tiger appears on his aunt's sofa, Ozzie can tell he's in for an adventure. He's thrilled to follow Tug—a skyger—through a secret door in the basement and into Zoone, the bustling Grand Central Station of the universe, where a thousand doors act as portals to strange and wonderful worlds.
But some doors also hide dangers—and when the portal back to Earth explodes behind him, Ozzie gets more adventure than he bargained for. In a station full of wizards, creepy-crawlies, and the occasional cursed princess, Ozzie has to find a way to repair his door… and possibly save the multiverse in the process.
Brimming with colorful characters, magical mayhem, and endless adventure, this new tween series has a doorway for every reader—just be sure to close the door behind you!
In this beautifully constructed middle-grade novel, told half in prose and half in verse, Lauren prides herself on being a good sister, and Sierra is used to taking care of her mom. When Lauren's parents send her brother to a therapeutic boarding school for teens on the autism spectrum and Sierra moves to a foster home in Lauren's wealthy neighborhood, both girls are lost until they find a deep bond with each other. But when Lauren recruits Sierra to help with a Robin Hood scheme to raise money for autistic kids who don't have her family's resources, Sierra has a lot to lose if the plan goes wrong.
Lauren must learn that having good intentions isn't all that matters when you battle injustice, and Sierra needs to realize that sometimes the person you need to take care of is yourself.
The host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, tells the story of growing up half black, half white in South Africa under and after apartheid in this young readers' adaptation of his bestselling adult memoir Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood.
Trevor Noah shares his story of growing up in South Africa, with a black South African mother and a white European father at a time when it was against the law for a mixed-race child like him to exist. But he did exist–and from the beginning, the often-misbehaved Trevor used his smarts and humor to navigate a harsh life under a racist government.
April 16th
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents best-selling author Roshani Chokshi and her sequel to Aru Shah and the End of Time. Aru is only just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love's bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn't playing Cupid. Instead, they're turning people into heartless fighting-machine zombies. If that weren't bad enough, somehow Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn't find the arrow by the next full moon, she'll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good. But, for better or worse, she won't be going it alone. Along with her soul-sister, Mini, Aru will team up with Brynne, an ultra-strong girl who knows more than she lets on, and Aiden, the boy who lives across the street and is also hiding plenty of secrets. Together they'll battle demons, travel through a glittering and dangerous serpent realm, and discover that their enemy isn't at all who they expected.
A heartfelt contemporary middle grade novel, perfect for fans of The Thing About Jellyfish and Fish in a Tree, about a girl who is sent to live with her aunt and must try to save their failing pie shop.
When twelve-year-old Cady Bennett is sent to live with the aunt she didn't even know she had in the quaint mountain town of Julian, she doesn't know what to expect. Cady isn't used to stability, or even living inside, after growing up homeless in San Diego with her dad.
Now she's staying in her mother's old room, exploring the countryside filled with apple orchards and pie shops, making friends, and working in Aunt Shell's own pie shop—and soon, Cady starts to feel like she belongs. Then she finds out that Aunt Shell's pie shop is failing. Saving the business and protecting the first place she's ever really felt safe will take everything she's learned and the help of all her new friends. But are there some things even the perfect pie just can't fix?
Summer of a Thousand Pies is a sweet and satisfying treat of a novel full of friendship, family, and, of course, pie.
The Line Tender is the story of Lucy, the daughter of a marine biologist and a rescue diver, and the summer that changes her life. If she ever wants to lift the cloud of grief over her family and community, she must complete the research her late mother began. She must follow the sharks.
Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, preparing to swim with a Great White, when she died suddenly. Lucy was eight. Since then Lucy and her father have done OK—thanks in large part to her best friend, Fred, and a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a Great White—and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered.
For years, Miranda has stared at postcards of August Isle, Florida. The town her mother spent her summers as a girl. The town Miranda has always ached to visit. She just never wanted it to happen this way.
When she arrives on the Isle, alone and uncertain, to spend the summer with her mother's best friend, "Aunt" Clare, Miranda finds a town even more perfect than the one she saw in the postcards. And she finds a friend of her own in Sammy, Aunt Clare's daughter.
But there is more to August Isle than its bright streets and sandy beaches, and soon Miranda is tangled in a web of mysteries. Noises coming from a haunted lighthouse. An old seafarer with something to hide. A name reaching out from her mother's shadowy past. As she closes in on answers, Miranda must reckon with the biggest question of all: Is she brave enough to face the truth she might uncover?
Critically acclaimed author Ali Standish delivers another mesmerizing and moving story about the secrets we keep, the lies we tell, and the courage it takes to love each other anyway.
The third title in the nationally bestselling series.
The Riverton Ice Chips know a thing or two about time travel. With a bit of magic and their beloved hometown rink, teammates Lucas, Edge and Swift have gone back in time to meet Gordie Howe and Sidney Crosby when the hockey greats were just kids. Along the way, the Chips have learned about perseverance, sportsmanship and a true love of the game.
But when a local tournament requires the Chips to split up to help form a district-wide all-girls hockey team, goalie Swift refuses to join forces with Chips rival Beatrice Blitz. The only thing left to do is to time travel once again.
Pretty soon the Chips find themselves smack in the middle of the Calgary Olympics, with a determined young player known as Chicken in desperate need of some new teammates. Lucas, Swift and Swift's sister Sadie have just the spirit Chicken's team needs, and with a lesson from their dedicated new friend—who'll go on to become one of Canada's best-loved Olympic hockey players, Hayley Wickenheiser—they just might change their minds about the game back home.
The Ice Chips and the Invisible Puck is the third title in this beloved and bestselling series by acclaimed authors Roy MacGregor and Kerry MacGregor and illustrator Kim Smith, featuring a vibrant and diverse cast of characters and inspiring hockey greats.

The Library of Ever is an instant classic for middle grade readers and booklovers everywhere–an adventure across time and space, as a young girl becomes a warrior for the forces of knowledge.
With her parents off traveling the globe, Lenora is bored, bored, bored–until she discovers a secret doorway into the ultimate library. Mazelike and reality-bending, the library contains all the universe's wisdom. Every book ever written, and every fact ever known, can be found within its walls.

Twelve-year-old Mya Parsons could save the world and organize her family, if only she had her own cell phone. A Dork Diaries for today's socially conscious young readers.
Mya Parsons runs her school's social justice club with her best friend, Cleo. Her lifelong desire is to work for the United Nations and change the world, and then bask in all the ensuing adulation. Her more immediate desire is to get a phone, preferably one like Cleo's, with a leopard-print case to match. When her distracted dad and her long-distance mom (temporarily in Myanmar taking care of Mya's grandmother) both say no, no way, and possibly never, Mya launches a campaign to prove herself reliable and deserving. She advertises her babysitting services, takes on more responsibility around the house, and attempts to supervise her sister's skateboarding lessons. Her efforts leave her ego bruised and the kitchen slightly scorched. She's no closer to touch-screen victory, let alone the Nobel Peace Prize she deserves. But all that changes after an accident leaves Mya to take charge–an experience which helps her realize how much she's grown, with or without access to proper communications.

Little bits of the future keep arriving
Walter Jon Williams posted recently about his book HardWired, and how the present has caught up with the things he predicted therein. I've had the same experience from time to time with the LookingGlass world. What's worse is that unlike WJW, I still have unpublished (and one more unwritten) work set in that world. Damned inconvenient, that. Anyway. For those who've read Looking Glass and/or Irreconcilable Differences and wondered what I was getting at with the whole Penguini thing, well... pretty much something like this PicoTux except with more network interfaces on it.

High school students in the Edmonds School District graduate at a higher rate than their peers statewide. They also enroll in post-high school education at much higher rates. What is driving the district's outsized success?
Category: Advocates
Washington's middle and high school students will graduate into an economy full of opportunity, with more than 740,000 job openings coming in the next five years. A key component of a meaningful diploma is the 24-credit graduation requirement.
It is intended to ensure all students take a high school course of study that will prepare them for education beyond high school and their future careers.
Washington's 2018 Teacher of the Year Mandy Manning has dedicated her life to helping her students develop confidence, so they can be successful long after high school. Ready Washington's latest Teacher of the Year video captures Manning's work as an English and math teacher at the Newcomer Center at Spokane's Ferris High School.

Pakistan Meat Paradise – NALLI NIHARI + TIKKA in Gujranwala | Pakistani Street Food Tour!
– Good morning, I hope
you're having an amazing day. It's Mark Wiens, I'm in Lahore, Pakistan. And the plan for today, we
are driving from Lahore, to Gujranwala, which is a
city known for it's food. We're gonna be taking the GT Highway, which is also called
the Grand Trunk Highway, which is a very famous
road, and along the way, we're going to stop at
a couple places to eat. But, before we leave Lahore today, we have to stop for a breakfast. It's a dish, it's a must. You cannot leave Lahore
without trying this dish. So we're gonna have breakfast first, and then we're on our way to Gujranwala. (upbeat music ) And we've just arrived at a restaurant called Waris Nihari. It's a stew, it's, it's, I've had it before, it's
incredibly delicious. We have a few different versions, the one with brain as well, and then one with meat. He takes a piece of the meat, then he grabs some of the actual stew, which is like a nutty color, he sticks that into your bowl, then he reaches back into the meat, and takes some of the oil, and pours some of the red
oil on top to finish it off. (music) – Spilled milk, and spilled yogurt. (sizzling food) – He heated up a whole
pan full of desi ghee, and infused it with some ginger
until that came to a boil. Then he poured over a few
spoons on top of the nihari, then he heated each bowl of nihari over the open flame as well. That's just finishing it off, okay. It's ready to go eat. We got a couple of different versions, one is just with the beef, one is with the beef and the brains. It comes with the fresh ***, and then you always have to season with ginger, chilis, and lime. And then we also got the lassis as well. – I can't. Dude, this load, this is beautiful. So excited for this right now. That meat is so tender you can just run a piece of bread over it, and it starts to just like tear apart. – And some of that sauce
without seasoning yet. – Oh wow. – And all of that desi ghee. – Dude, are you kidding? – Wow. – That's awesome. – So good. – Yes, one more bite! Thank you! One more bite! – So good. – We will take another bite, okay? The meat is so tender. – And you've got like, the creamy, like stew of
the nihari underneath it. Very fragrant, very infused, desi ghee. – Yeah, its awesome, but it does need to be
seasoned with the ginger and the chiles and lime. Making sure to grab
some of the chiles and, oh that meat just flakes apart! Oh, the drip! That meat, that meat is insanely tender. You actually don't need teeth to chew it. Then, with that ginger, with those thin slices of
chiles to bump up the heat, this one includes the same beef, but then also brains. Oh, it just sorta like, it sunk. – It's so gooey. – The brains just kinda like,
collapsed into the desi ghee and they become one with the
desi ghee when you pick it up. The desi ghee just like, gives
it the lubrication factor. Then you've got the meat which
is so unbelievably tender. Then you've got the brains, which sorta like slide right in there. – Like, hard boiled egg yolk. – Add some chillies just to top it off. Hand squeeze on a little
lime for the finishing touch. It's among the richest dishes, I think I've ever had in my life. This one is the nahli nihari, and this one is actually
the most famous version. With marrow inside. Those little white nuggets
are all marrow chunks. That probably is the best, because that marrow is, again, is just like, disintegrating into the desi ghee. Plus the meat. Plus the ginger. This is like, ultimate meatiness. And after that, I need to lean
back and sip on the lassi. Oh, the milk mustache! Tastes kinda like melted ice cream. So nihari is not a dish I
could eat too frequently because there's so much
desi ghee, its so heavy, it's so rich. But that was, it was a treat. What a way to begin this day. (music ) On our way, heading towards, in the direction towards Gujranwala. And we're taking the GT Road, that's the abbreviation
for the Grand Trunk Road. Which connects central Asia to south Asia, so it runs all the way
from Kabul, in Afghanistan, to Chittagong in Bangladesh, passing through northern Pakistan. There's lots of traffic, and people take this road
going short distances, from town to town. This is a very significant road, and we are traveling it today. (upbeat music) It was only like an hour and half drive. We didn't actually end up
stopping along the way. But we made it to the city. This is where we are going
to do some more eating, and walk around and explore for the day, for most of the day. And behind me right here, this is the watch tower,
built by the British. (upbeat music) We just walked down the
street a little bit, and we're going to stop
somewhere to eat a massive, like, some massive
production of fried-ness. Mainly what they're serving is pakoras, which are little fried fritters. There's a potato in it,
there's some vegetables, there's herbs, there's spices. The cauldron of oil is bubbling away, but they do have, like an entire, I think they have a
few different versions, but we're gonna a plate of
the pakoras freshly fried. He just grabs like fist fulls
of the batter mixture potato. Just like, squeezes it into the oil, and then just like, when
they're done frying, they're just fish. He just fishes it out. We gotta try some of
the hot, fresh, pakoras. Oh nice. Thank you! You take a chunk, you
dip it into that little, I think its yogurt sauce. Oh, oh that's hot. Yeah that's great. That's freshly fried. There's potato in there. The green is actually spinach. It does have a little
bit of spiciness to it. A dream deep fried snack. (upbeat music) Ali said we need to try it with the rhoti. It's actually common, I didn't
know it was a thing ever to eat pakora with the roti. Yeah, it does kinda work. Because you have the soft puffy roti, and then the really crispy pakora. The textures, its a textures thing. That's nice. – That's really nice That's my comfort snack at home. – As-Salaam-Alaikum. As-Salaam-Alaikum. Thank you, very good. So Gujranwala is known for their food, and also known for their wrestlers. For having big guys that wrestle. So we have a surprise. I had no idea we were going
to have this opportunity. But we met up with one of Ali's friends, who has arranged for us to see some of the local, traditional wrestling. That's where we're on our way to next. (upbeat music) (car horns honking) Quite the fork lift. Quite the bustling area. And we're gonna go… Oh, I forgot to mention that the wrestling doesn't start for about 15 or 20 minutes, so we're going to stop
quickly to eat something, before we go to the wrestling. We're just going to walk around
this area for a little bit. This is quite a street as well. That looks great. We're just walking down the road, and we saw a man who's just
making these little patties. Actually, we saw the sign over there. They're made from camel. They smell so good. They're sizzling in this like, fatty liquid that's just bubbling. He grabs a handful of the meat mixture, he just kinda flattens it on the hot plate to create the burger patty shape, and then directly into that
bubbling oil as it fries. I'm pretty sure it's
frying in its own fat. Oh. Oh wow. That is so good. It's so rich. Oh it's really nicely spiced. It has this like, citrusy taste to it. Actually, you know what I really taste is the coriander seed. It gives off that almost citrusy taste. That is flavorful. Camel sliders. That coriander seed. Oh man, above and beyond tasty. – The smell, from across the
street, we couldn't resist. And this guy's just making it so properly. – (mumbles) – I would speak, but my mouth
is full of camel right now. – That is a line. – Dude, that was a treat. That was a treat. Proper street meat treat, right there. – I'm loving this city already. Its kinda relaxed, but like, bustling. So like, overly bustling at the same time. It's not an official game,
but it's gonna be a practice. Practice wrestling, and wrestling is a big part
of the culture in Gujranwala. This is gonna be a real honor that they have invited us to watch them practice. (mumbles) – Hello – Hello, Nice to meet you,
very nice to meet you. – Thank you so much, thank you. – He said that he just
returned from Istanbul. – Yes. – Two days ago, where he won
one of the championships there. And it looks like they are
just now preparing the sand pit for the wrestling. – Yes, for the wrestling. – Okay great. They just finished their warm ups, now they are gonna have the fights. (upbeat music) – Back on sand, and will finish, okay? – Okay. For three seconds? Or just… – No, just touch. – Okay. – Just touch and it will be done. He is finished. – Ah, okay. – He is the winner. (upbeat music) (clapping) – We're gonna take a
quick photo with everyone. Well done man, thank you. Thank you so much for inviting us today. It was an honor to be here. (upbeat music) (cheering) (upbeat music) Let me just tell you, what the new definition
of meat dreams are. (upbeat music) It is a massive bus length grill, that is just going up in a fire of smoke. You can smell the meat in the air. We've got a whole group with us. Look at that grill! It's like the aftermath
of a fireworks display. The meaty, smokiness, it is unbelievable. Oh, and here is where they're
skewering up the meat. – They start from 6pm and go to 3am. – They have their own farm,
their own source of goats, and they sell 35-40 goats per night. Goats of meat. Entire goats. Thank you. We just moved on to the karahi station, where he's making the
pans full of the curry. Oh wow. (pan sizzling) And next station, to
see the naan being made. Or is it time to riroti? I think maybe time to riroti. As-Salaam-Alaikum. They have a really nice,
large indoor section, but they are so nice
to put out some tables on the street for us. We got the mutton karahi, we
got an assorted mutton plate, we got multiple kabobs. Time to eat. We gotta begin with the golakabaob, which is this round like, meatball kabob. It's so like, flaky. You can taste the meatiness of it. The umami of the fat that's
burnt, from the charcoal fire. That is just… That is meat at its finest. – These are the mutton chops. (mumbles) – Okay time for the mutton chops. It's so soft and tender. The marinade of spices is almost sticky. It's caramelized onto the meat. The most meaty, dreamy
thing you have ever tasted. This is the karahi this is what he made over that just massive fire. Oh man, you just kinda mop it up. Mop up that ghee, that desi ghee, and that sauce, and that mutton. Oh, that is… That is stunning. You've got like, that, sour richness of that yogurt in there. The richness of the desi ghee. Then just the tender mutton. The slight ginger aroma. – How do you pack that
much flavor into a sauce? Dude, it's like, spicy yogurt. Yeah, it's like cheese. That's insane. – I can safely say that's
one of the greatest grilled meat dinners I've ever had. Unbelievably delicious. Thank you. Feels like I just took a bath in smoke. I actually did. Oh, that was stunning. (upbeat music) We're stopping off at one
more place this evening. I think just one more place. Oh, nice. Oh, nice. – (mumbles) – I had no idea we were
getting this but it's paan. – So this is called paan. It's common in India, Pakistan, Nepal. – Oh, thank you. That's delicious though. That is a mouthful of many, many things. It's so sweet and so juicy, with so many textures. Then you've got the main leaf which has like a chalkiness to it. There's so much going on, it's amazing. Thank you! – Thank you, thank you, thank you! – That was delicious. That was a mouthful of just excitement. (upbeat music) Jalebi is like a fried, batter, which is then submerged in syrup, so it's like a sweet crispy donut. He just kept swirling the batter, swirling the batter, until its like a massive frisbee. That's a giant jalebi. That's really good. It's like, – Wow. – Deep fried crispiness just
saturated with florally syrup. We're on our way to this village for, we're gonna spend the
night in this village. I think we might make one
more little snack stop, I'm not totally sure, but we'll see. And we're on our way again. (music) I think its kulfi, a type of ice cream. And he must be the one who invented it. Who has the recipe. The secret recipe. Thank you. So cold. And it has that kinda, slightly, to me, its almost like
a starchy texture to it. Very very milky. Again you can taste that
boiled down condensed milk. I think that's called khoya. It's been a fantastic day traveling from Lahore to Gujranwala. Gujranwala, I've been
so impressed with it. It's such a friendly city. Such a hectic, busy city, but so much character, so much good food. Also, I want to say a huge
thank you to Ali and Sayem, for bringing us around Gujranwala today. I'll have all the links

Here we are 3 weeks into the new year. How do you feel your fitness goals are going? If you are beginning to struggle with your schedule or finding time to get to the gym, whether it is a little or a lot, I am here with some good news. Even small amounts of exercise done consistently can add up to huge benefits for your health and your waistline.
If your goal is to increase your overall health, walking briskly for 15 minutes a day can improve mood, cardiovascular health and heart health. You could also ride a stationary bike, elliptical or use a stair-stepper.
If your goal is weight loss, 15 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with compound weight exercises or cardio intervals will create a small caloric deficit that will help with weight loss when paired with a daily caloric intake deficit. In general a pound of fat is 3500 calories. In order to lose a pound a week you will need to create a 500 calorie deficit a day via intake (eating) and exercise. Fifteen minutes of HIIT can burn approximately 150 to 200 calories (this depends on your % of lean muscle, the type of exercise and the intensity). Your daily caloric intake should reflect your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) minus 300-350 calories so that when combined with 15 mins of HIIT you have your daily 500 calorie deficit. You can find out more here on calculating your Total Daily Energy Expenditure.
If your goal is muscle gain, 15 minutes of compound (multiple joints/muscle groups) resistance (weighted) training can be as effective as 35 minutes of isolation resistance training. Use dumbbells or even gallons of water or laundry detergent to do exercises like squats, dead lifts, military press and lunge step backs.
Ultimately, 30 mins to an hour of exercise 5 to 6 days a week is ideal for overall health and weight loss or weight management. However, life sometimes does not make this time commitment easy, so instead of throwing in the towel, set that timer for 15 minutes and get moving!

Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday and am not too sure how I feel about this partly because I'm not a fan of odd numbers and partly because I'm slipping away from 'early twenties' and rocketing towards 'mid twenties' and that's a scary thought. But then again I'm excited, it's a brand new year to look forwards to and one that I hope is a lot better than 22 was, see those even numbers aren't all they're cracked up to be! 22 could've been better, of course it could have been much worse, but all round it could have been better than it was so I'm afraid to say that I'm not all that bothered about seeing the back of it. I'm excited to see what 23 brings, what new adventures and opportunities there will be along the way. So come on 23 prove me wrong and make me like odd numbers!
