C. W. Wooldridge
Perfecting the Earth: a Piece of Possible History. Cleveland: The Utopia Publishing Company, 1902: 39, 48-57.Wooldridge (1847-1908) was a native of Hull, England who came to Michigan as a child. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1877 and from its medical department in 1877. For twelve years, beginning in 1890, he practiced medicine in Cleveland. Perfecting the Earth was his third and last book, one written shortly before he left Cleveland to live in Montana.
The first sentence of his Preface tells the reader that he believes his ideas are practical and feasible: "This is a Utopian book, but its Utopia is not...in the clouds; on the contrary it is worked out with much detail." In it Wooldridge looked ahead a dozen years to a time when a large standing army--no longer needed for military purposes-- could be put to work constructing a model city in northeastern Utah named Fort Goodwill. Two drawings, one a sketch plan of the city and its irrigated agricultural lands and the other a design for one of the modular units of the city, accompany the following description. As in other works describing the future in fictional terms, the author often uses the past tense in mentioning features that are in fact being proposed.
Radiating through a center chosen in this city site, four main avenues were located, one in the meridian line through that center, another at right angles with this, while the other two bisected the quadrants along the lines from northeast to southwest, and from southeast to northwest.
The industrial works were planned to occupy a portion of the tract below the city terrace but above the irrigating canal, and the section of this tract lying between the western continuation of the avenue extending directly westward from the proposed city center and the southwest avenue, was devoted to that purpose....
In preparation for building the city the ground had been platted on a double system of streets and avenues. The primary system has already been mentioned.... At the point of intersection of these avenues it was intended ultimately to place a grand public edifice, and the avenues radiating from this center were considered and named as eight, thus: Beginning with the one running north, North Meridian avenue, North East avenue, Eastern avenue, South east avenue, South Meridian avenue, South West avenue, Western avenue, and North West avenue. To these, as part of the primary system, must be added the Park Front avenue. This lies in a broken line generally parallel to the terrace slope that borders the city plateau, but descending at its western end obliquely to join the continuation of the Western avenue on the level of the industrial district below. This avenue marks the border of the city proper, being platted for buildings on the north side only, while the south side facing the hill slope was reserved for park purposes....
Superimposed on this primary system of avenues is the secondary system, dividing the city into blocks each one-half mile square by streets running north and south and east and west....
In completing the plan adopted for laying out the city of Fort Goodwill, while latitude was allowed for variation to adapt each individual block to special circumstances, a normal type of block was chosen in the beginning, according to the accompanying plan.
This normal block was laid out thus: Each of its four sides, half a mile, or 2,640 feet in length, was divided into ten equal parts of 264 feet each. From these points of division lines were drawn parallel to each of the four sides of the block, thus dividing it into strips of equal width parallel to its four sides, each strip, counting from the outside toward the center of the block, being shortened to avoid crossing the strips on the adjacent sides in the course external to it. Each corner, on which strips of the same number from the border of the block cross each other, was reserved for common use. From each of these strips on its outer edge 50 feet was set off for street purposes; two of these 50 foot strips falling together on the borders of two adjoining blocks constitute the secondary system of streets already mentioned. At the corners of each such block the squares formed by the crossing of the external strips on the sides of each of the four blocks meeting at such corners, together with the 50 feet corresponding to the width of the first internal street, forms a square reserved for public purposes, each side of which measures 628 feet. The centers of each of these squares were the sites chosen for the public buildings....
The 50 foot strips internal to each block being designed to serve as parkways between lines of residence lots without fences, on which the houses were to stand well back, were of ample width. To complete the system of internal thoroughfares in each such block, other 50 foot strips were laid out through the center of the block, parallel to the sides, dividing the block into quarters and bisecting each residence strip, while the squares reserved to the public overlapping each other along the diagonal lines furnished ample space for roadways there. Thus within a very short distance from any point in the city a thoroughfare was provided along a straight line to very near any other point, with no acute angles to turn, while the building lots were all right angled and square with the world.
The portion of each such block remaining on which to build houses consisted of strips each 214 feet wide, affording ample space for houses fronting each side of each street or parkway, with space enough for lawns, trees and flowers about each house. The entire model block provides such space for about 600 residences, which, if occupied each by a normal sized family of five, would give a total population of three thousand on each such block of half a mile square; the central sections were left open in each block to form a public park or playground, 528 feet in extent on each side.
In working out this plan the public buildings placed on the corner squares as described would, of course, terminate the vista on all the street forming the divisions between the blocks. Where such streets or corners coincided with the main avenues of the primary system, however, the public buildings were set on one side and the plan of the block modified accordingly, these main avenues being designed to be clear throughout their entire extent, with the exception of the great city hall at their intersection in the center of the city.
About this intersection a quarter of each of the four adjacent blocks was reserved without buildings, for park purposes, thus making a central park about the city hall half a mile square.
The borders of all the streets and avenues, together with the central squares in the blocks and the squares reserved for common use along the diagonals of the blocks, were turned over to the charge of the board of forestry and landscape gardening for ornamentation, with the provision that the central square of each block, while to be planted with a sufficient number of trees, was to be especially fitted as a playground for children.

'They won't listen to us blackfellas': Push to save ancient sacred trees
The grand old trees on the land of the Djab Wurrung people in western Victoria have borne witness to untold generations of Aboriginal culture over the hundreds of years they have stood.
But some are particularly special. Elders say generations of women have given birth in the hollow of one tree, which some estimate is up to 800 years old, making it a sacred space.
And it is soon slated for destruction.
The eucalypt, which has a girth of more than seven metres and stands more than 30 metres tall, was identified two years ago by members of Victoria's Indigenous community as a living example of a sacred birthing tree.
A hollow big enough for an adult to stand inside, with evidence of scarring and burning by human hands, is what has triggered the claims that it is an Aboriginal birthing tree.
But it and other culturally-important trees stand on land that was bought by VicRoads two years ago as it prepared to upgrade the notoriously dangerous Western Highway.
About 3000 trees of various sizes and ages have been marked for removal along the duplication route, including several scar trees, birthing trees and other culturally modified trees.
The Western Highway upgrade between Ballarat and Stawell is a jointly-funded state and federal government project.
Djab Wurrung community members took Federal Environment Minister Melissa Price to the Federal Court last year, arguing for the decision to be overturned and protection to be granted to the trees.
Last week, the Federal Court made orders by agreement that Ms Price's decision would be quashed, because the minister made an error in law.
"In particular, it is conceded that the Respondent (Ms Price) did not afford the Applicants procedural fairness in making the Decision insofar as the Respondent took into account credible, relevant and significant information without putting that information to the Applicants and inviting them to comment on that information," Judge Debra Mortimer wrote.
Ms Price now has until May 15 to make another decision, but given the government is in caretaker mode while the election campaign is under way, it is unclear whether this deadline will be met.
In the meantime, Major Roads Projects Victoria, which is managing the project, has agreed not to proceed until ministerial approval is granted.
A petition calling on Premier Daniel Andrews to protect the trees has attracted more than 110,000 signatures. Supporters were comparing the irreplaceable cultural history the trees represent with the devastation of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris by fire this week.
In February, Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allan announced the route would be changed to protect two culturally-significant birthing trees.
But Djab Wurrung elder Sandra Onus said the entire area needed to be protected.
One significant tree, thought to be 350 years old, at the site was modified by Aboriginal people as it grew to resemble a woman.
There are also men's work sites there, she said.
"There's a lot of information on the ground," Aunty Sandra said.
"There's one birthing tree probably up to 800 years old or more ... there's very few left as you can imagine. We're just trying to keep as much of our cultural heritage intact as we can.
"They won't listen to us blackfellas."
A spokeswoman for the Victorian government said 11 people had died on this stretch of the Western Highway over the past five years and 52 people have been seriously injured.
"This urgently-needed upgrade will make one of Victoria's most dangerous stretches of road much safer," she said.
"We're aware of the Federal Court decision and are still awaiting advice from the Department of the Environment and Energy on the next steps."

Molecular drivers of wine texture and taste
Project summary
This project continues key elements of current research and will realise opportunities for identifying compounds that lead to positive and negative taste and texture outcomes, throughout wine production. Such negative characters can occur through different stages of the wine production process, from grapegrowing (temperature and exposure impacts), throughout processing, and also post-bottling.
Increasingly the premiumisation of red and white wine is inseparable from the concept of texture as it defines style and typicality (the interaction between terroir and winemaking practice). It has been proposed that in-mouth texture defines the 'typicality' of many of the most valuable commercial wines of the world, for example the creaminess of barrel fermented white Burgundy, the oily texture of Alsatian Pinot Gris made from high solids juices, and the oily and drying nature of Viognier made with skin contact from the Northern Rhone, or the rich full-bodied expression of Shiraz produced in the Barossa. It could also be argued that the high value placed on these wines by consumers is the result of a perception of uniqueness of some sensory property, whether it be flavour or texture, associated with a particular region or vineyard site. In terms of taste, many European and new Australian styles of red wines, are positively characterised by a savouriness, but despite knowledge of molecular drivers of savoury (e.g. umami) flavours in foods, similar compounds have not yet been characterised or their functions defined in wines. Compounds described by 'mouthfulness', or 'kokumi' have also been characterised in foods but not in wine, but evidence exists that such compounds may be present in wines.
Latest information
Factors influencing texture during winemaking
The amount of time juice spends in contact with grape solids can influence the texture of white wines. In the 2017 vintage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines were produced after the juice had been in contact with grape solids for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Methods were optimised to analyse polysaccharides and phenolics in juice and ferment samples to track the changes in composition during winemaking. Wines produced after longer contact time with solids generally showed higher concentrations of polysaccharides, whereas the concentrations of phenolics remained similar regardless of contact time. These results will be compared to sensory analysis outcomes to assess the impact of juice treatment on wine texture.
Dissolved CO2 was recently found to be a factor influencing the textural properties of white wines. This work was expanded to assess the influence of dissolved CO2 on red wines. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines were prepared with different levels of CO2, alcohol, tannins and pH to assess the relative influence of each factor. Sensory analysis indicated that sub-spritz concentrations of dissolved CO2 can have a significant influence on red wine mouth-feel.
Understanding the drivers of bitterness in wine
Sulfonated derivatives of indole have previously been identified as important bitter compounds in wines. Factors influencing the formation of these compounds were investigated with the aim of developing ways of better managing wine bitterness during wine production. Model wine studies involving SO2 addition to the indole derivative, tryptophol, found that the bitter compound developed more readily at lower pH (3.2) and higher temperatures (22°C). In grape juice, the process of sulfonation was similar to that in model wine but concentrations were lower. Further studies investigated the influence of pH and temperature on the evolution of phenolics and indole derivatives during white and red winemaking. Results indicated that the concentration of indole derivatives increased during fermentation. Future work will confirm whether sulfonation of phenolics occurs after post-ferment additions of SO2 and subsequent storage.
Sensory analysis using Napping was also conducted on a commercially produced sulfonated indole derivative and a structurally related synthesised compound to assess any sensory effects of the compounds' differing chemical structures. Both compounds were found to have sensory properties similar to those of other known bitter compounds.
Concentrations of bitter compounds in wine may not have a direct relationship with overall wine bitterness due to potential interactions between bitter compounds and other wine components, particularly macromolecules. Methods were developed to assess the interactions between macromolecules and bitter compounds using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). The particle sizes of isolated polysaccharides in contact with sulfonated tryptophol were consistently smaller than those of the isolated polysaccharides alone. This suggested that the polysaccharides were contracting in size upon interacting with the bitter compound, which in turn suggests that wine bitterness may be influenced by the concentration of polysaccharides.

Hartlepool manager Neale Cooper is looking to his second-string strikers to put pressure on first team frontmen Paul Robinson and Eifion Williams.
Martin Scott's reserve side were due to play Doncaster's second string today and Cooper has urged forwards like Marco Gabbiadini and Kevin Henderson to get the goals which could give him a selection headache ahead of Saturday's trip to Bristol City.
Robinson and Williams drew a blank last Saturday in the 0-0 home draw with Tranmere. Williams was substituted just after the hour after taking a heavy knock on his knee, but Cooper admits he spoke to the strikers after Saturday's showing.
"We had a word with the forwards after the game and told them what we thought," said Cooper.
"I told them what I expected and that includes more movement than they showed me on Saturday.
"To be fair to them, they had been through a hard week with that great comeback at Peterborough and then the cup match going to extra time and penalties.
"But the match at Doncaster today is a good chance for some of the lads to put in a good performance and come knocking on my door for Saturday.
"It's a good opportunity for one or two of them to sharpen up. They are doing well in training, now they have to go and do it in games when they are asked."
Cooper admits that Williams could be a doubt for Saturday's trip to Ashton Gate.
"Eifion hasn't trained since Saturday but we don't know if the injury to his knee is going to keep him out. We will have to have another look tomorrow.
Defender Paul Arnison has recovered from infected blistering to his feet and was set to play today.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about The Basketball Court and other Basketball topics.
Depending on what level of league or part of the world you play basketball in, the basketball court measurement that you play on may not be the same. For example, Olympic regulations dictate different basketball court measurements and dimensions than NBA regulations. On a smaller scale, youth basketball leagues often have their own specific basketball court measurement rules. All of these changes are simply aimed at maintaining balance throughout an individual's growth in the sport. A team of 10 year olds certainly could not run up and down a 94 foot floor like a team of men in their 20's or 30's. The basketball court measurements are not the only things that can differ. Everything from the size of the basketball to the height of the rim can vary depending on where you play. No matter what your league, however, the goal remains the same; put the ball in the hoop more than the other team.

Dentist's Day – March 6th #DentistsDay
Dentist's Day March 6th History and Photo #DentistsDay – Happy Dentist's Day images and download free pictures. Dentist's Day is a day to display a big, toothy smile. After all, your Dentist plays a role in that big, bright smile. He's an important person in keeping your smile bright, and your teeth and mouth healthy.
If your Dentist is such an important person, then why are we so scared of the next dental visit? Is it perhaps the fear of discovering a cavity? Maybe, he will find the beginnings of gum disease? The fear of the dentist ranks right up there with…. the fear of pulling teeth!
Among the ways to celebrate today are:
– Giving your dentist a big "TY"
– Sending your dentist an Ecard or stationary card
– Making a dental appointment(if you haven't been there in a while)
– Start using dental floss daily
– Improving your daily dental care routine
– Showing off your great smile
Also see Tooth Ache Day and Tooth Fairy Day.
Origin of "Dentist's Day":
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. Most likely, it was a dental group or organization.

Camarines Norte has been abuzz lately simply because more people are enjoying the dazzling and fine white sands of Calaguas Islands in Vinzons. But even before Calaguas islands came into the limelight, there were other island gems in Camarines Norte. We were going to Apuao Islands, one of the seven captivating islands off the coast of Mercedes. While not really part of Daet for our #DateinDaet tour, Mercedes is a neighboring municipality, so close its like an extension of Daet at the eastern coast of the province.
Camarines Norte | A Date in Daet: What to See and Do in a Day
Oh I got myself a date last weekend. I had to travel more than eight hours to get there. Despite being cramped inside a van, I'm not about to leave her hanging in the air. Yes, I caught your glance when I went to Calaguas last year. I knew there was more to you than what I've initially seen. It was time to get to know you more. Would a weekend suffice? Let's see. It's a #DateinDaet then! Yes Daet! The underrated town in Camarines Norte has something to share.
A Year in Travels September 2013 | Calaguas Islands and Lanao del Norte Waterfalling
It's been much talked about by my backpacking friends how wonderful the island of Calaguas is. Finally this month, I was able to visit the place many thanks to Isla Lipana who initiated the Philippine Gems campaign, a search for emerging tourist destination in the country. Calaguas Islands and its Mahabang Buhangin didn't disappoint. The journey may be long but it was well worth it. It eventually won the top spot in the Philippine Gems.
Mahabang Buhangin Beach at Calaguas Islands: Almost Unadulterated
With the Philippine's thousands of islands, there's no surprise if there's still a few that's relatively untouched by development. One which has been making a buzz among backpackers and adventure travelers these recent years is the Mahabang Buhangin Beach (Long Sand Beach) in Calaguas Group of Islands in Camarines Norte. It has even become one of the top contenders for the Philippine Gems, a campaign spearheaded by Isla Lipana & Co. (PwC Ph) to recognize the emerging destinations in the country. Despite the erratic weather, I gladly took the invitation by folks at Fleishman Hillard and PwC for an ocular trip to see why this Calaguas Islands is making waves at their campaign.

Following news sources can be informative, but it can also be a major contributor to daily stress.[1] X Research source With news so readily available, it can be difficult to set limits and not disengage when necessary. To follow the news without getting stressed out, start by creating boundaries around your consumption and your means of obtaining news. Identify your triggers and know when to detach. Lastly, be prudent in choosing sources and information, and avoid consuming overly-sensationalized content.
Part 1 of 3:
Creating Boundaries Around News Consumption
1Set a limit to your consumption. If the news is a constant primary focus in your daily life, consider cutting back and see how you feel. Decide how much time you wish to devote to news each day, then make cutbacks in radio, television, and online sources as necessary.
- Ask yourself if you wish to consume news before going to work or school, or whether you should have a cutoff time for news at night. If news keeps you from getting work done, limit how much news you consume during your work time.
- Make some simple changes, such as unfollowing news sources on social media.
2Turn off alerts on your phone. If you subscribe to news sources on your smartphone, consider turning off alerts or notifications. Getting notifications can increase your stress, especially if the news feels threatening or traumatic. Traumatic news can make you feel helpless, and it may not be in your best interest to constantly have phone alerts.[2] X Research source
- Toggle your notifications and alerts so that you get news less frequently or not at all.
3Limit time in front of the television. When you read news articles, you have the ability to choose what you read and what you skip over. Television, however, does not have this kind of filter. You may end up seeing images or hearing stories that upset you. Because you cannot control what occurs on the television, it can be helpful to limit your time in front of the television or turn it off completely.
- Tune into shows that don't stress you out yet still report factual information.
4Change your daily habits. Consuming news can become a habit that you don't even realize you do. If you tend to check news absent-mindedly, change your daily habits even slightly to help you consume less. For example, listen to music in the morning instead of turning on the radio for news. If you compulsively check your phone for news, put your phone in a drawer and designate time off from news consumption.
- Even social media sites prioritize news stories on their home pages, so be selective in what you look at and choose to click.
5Back away if you become obsessive. If you feel preoccupied with following the news, recognize that it's okay not to consume all of the news. Because news is so readily available, it can be easy to go overboard by keeping the television on in the background, checking your phone, or interacting with news stories on social media. The "need to know" can overtake your life or cause you undue stress. Recognize if you feel the "need to know" and realize that cutting back won't harm you.[3] X Research source
- Find other activities to fill your time besides consuming news. Take a walk, join a gym, or volunteer.
- If you feel like your news obsession has taken over your life, consider seeing a counselor to help you gain control and cut back.
Part 2 of 3:
Prioritizing Your Self-Care
1Identify your triggers. Certain types of news might stress you out more than others. Be aware of how you feel when you watch news stories and find if some stress you more than others. When you find your triggers, stop or reduce reading news articles or watching television programs with that content.[4] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
- For example, you might become more stressed over stories of war, politics, or tragedy. While it's important to be informed, it's also important to take care of yourself and not cause excessive stress. Reduce your consumption and see how you feel.
2Know when to emotionally detach. News stories that are traumatic can leave a lasting impact, especially if they hit close to home or you relate in some way. While it's important to know what's happening in your local community, your country, and the world, find a balance between being informed and not being overcome with grief that affects your day-to-day living. At some point, it may be necessary to detach and stop reading news stories or exposing yourself to traumatic events.[5] X Research source
- For example, if you feel traumatized by a recent mass shooting, avoid reading every article about it. If you start to feel fearful and upset, take a break from the news story and do something else, like take a walk.
3Take care of your mind and body. Take note of how you feel when you consume news. If an article or news program raises your stress level, take a moment to de-stress right away. For example, take a few deep breaths to calm your mind and body. You can also talk to someone you trust about how you feel and reach out for support.[6] X Trustworthy Source National Health Service (UK) Public healthcare system of the UK Go to source
- Engage in daily relaxation to cope with your day-to-day stressors. This might include a meditation or yoga practice, exercise, or writing in a journal.
4Leave conversations that upset or overwhelm you. If you know a coworker or family member who loves to argue about the news, consider creating boundaries in your relationship to not discuss triggering topics. While it can be helpful to access other viewpoints, don't let another person's opinion about the news ruin your day or stress you out.[7] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
- For example, say, "I'd rather not discuss politics at work" or, "Let's keep that out of our discussion for now."
5Get involved with issues that matter to you. News can easily make you feel powerless and like you cannot change the challenging world around you. However, this is not true. Find ways to get involved in issues that matter to you. Join an activist movement, protest at the state capitol, call your senator, chancellor, governor, and representatives, and make your voice heard.[8] X Research source
- For example, if news stories about domestic violence upset you, get involved with a local domestic abuse shelter or hotline. Call your local government and ask them to represent you in upcoming decisions about safety and abuse and protecting survivors.
Part 3 of 3:
Consuming News Responsibly
1Avoid the comments section of articles. While it can be helpful to consider other viewpoints, comment sections are notorious for being polarized and even abusive. It's easy to feel fired up in reading ignorant or strongly worded opinions. If reading and responding to comments riles you up, skip reading them altogether.
- For example, don't get sucked in by name calling or ignorant remarks. It's best to leave the comment section alone and not get involved.
2Avoid sensational news. Sensational news is meant to intrigue you and get you emotionally hooked. Aim to read stories that provide you with information, not just a catchy headline or a bold statement. If you find an article that makes a bold claim or is derogatory toward a person of influence, look at the source and see if it's credible. Learn to ignore or avoid certain sources that tend to have poor information or are considered "click bait."[9] X Research source
- If you feel emotionally triggered by something, don't click the story. Move on and avoid the impulse.
- Some television programs and news articles are purposefully sensational and designed to emotionally arouse you. Avoid watching shows that make you feel angry, upset, or turn you against a subgroup of people.
- Some websites are known to report heavily biased material or make claims without evidence. If you're unsure about your news source, do some digging to see if it's credible.
3Verify your information and sources. If you read or hear something with a bold claim, check it with another source. Seek news from multiple sources to increase the likelihood of obtaining information that is factual and not sensational.[10] X Research source
- For example, when given news about health, look up a peer-reviewed study which addresses medical or health claims.

NCLB: The high cost of broken promises
What's a promise worth?
When it comes to the No Child Left Behind Act, a promise is worth more than $9 billion--and counting. That's the level of underfunding U.S. students and public schools have suffered thus far, based on what Congress authorized for NCLB and what it's actually delivered.
"There are lots of things that are unclear about NCLB, but one thing was always crystal clear--Congress and the administration promised time and time again that they would provide the funding needed to help students reach higher achievement levels," says Charlotte Fraas, AFT legislation director. "The funding just hasn't happened as promised."
Massive numbers like $9 billion can be tough to put into context. But consider what public schools could do with just an additional $500 million--fewer than 6 cents on every dollar promised but not delivered. Just that $500 million could:
* Fund class size reduction that would affect more than 570,000 students;
In fact, all of these options could be paid for if the administration and Congress paid just a quarter on every dollar promised but not delivered.
The disconnection between high expectations and low funding is not going unnoticed. The media also are beginning to pick up on this key weakness in NCLB. "Nobody has figured out how any of this will be paid for," Desert Morning News (Utah) columnist Doug Robinson recently wrote in a column detailing the daunting challenges imposed on schools under the law. "Essentially, the federal government ordered schools to [make adequate yearly progress targets], and when somebody asked how, the feds said, 'Search me.' Anyone for a bake sale?"
But the AFT has always been clear on the "how" portion-on the promises made by Congress and the administration when NCLB came into law. "The implementation problems with NCLB are difficult to begin with," says AFT president Sandra Feldman. "Denying the promised funding is an exercise in cynicism."
"The AFT will keep fighting hard, not just to expose and change the underlying flaws in the law, but for the funding teachers and paraprofessionals need to make its still worthy goals work for kids."

text: Adianu[501st] Report post Posted November 30, 2018 I'm not really building yet, but since I'm starting to order pieces I thought I'd start a build thread. A little intro- I am a total n00b to armor. I'm an intermediate seamstress, earning my stripes through drafting and sewing my staff officer and Rey costumes. I'm 5'2" petite build so I know I'm in for a lot of trimming... but yes, I have seen the threads from the ladies who have been here before me I will be leveraging heavily. I've been eying a TK build for years, but honestly have been scared due to my height and inexperience with armor. But last weekend while shopping for TIE armor for my husband I (drinking wine) also asked for a quote for TK armor, and pulled the trigger on both. So, status: Costume Armor: WTF ordered Undersuit: ordered from Academy, hoping it works- but it's like $20 total so if not, no giant loss https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/bcg-womens-turbo-long-sleeve-shirt#repChildCatSku=111076921 https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/bcg-womens-cold-weather-training-legging#repChildCatSku=111460350 Other stuff Cut-resistant gloves ordered, because I'm a walking disaster https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXUHHGK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Scissors ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KN0RQM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc= Up next: Lots of stuff saved in Evernote notes! Gloves, neck seals, etc. go measure my feet for good TK boots size Other tools Wait... worry that I won't be able to pull it off... remember that it took me 2 years to sew an officer uniform... worry that I am too short, etc. etc. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Techies, CIOs Prepare for Scrutiny as H-1B Visa Process Commences
Foreign tech workers and the companies that hire them face challenges as new restrictions are added to long-term work visas
Today as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service begins to process 65,000 H-1B work visas for "specialty occupations" in the government's fiscal year 2019, corporations continue to struggle with a paradoxical labor market where 548,000 tech jobs remain open while unemployment in the technology sector hovers below full employment levels. There are lots of jobs, but not enough workers to fill them.
As the the Trump Administration pushes for policy and enforcement changes, chief information officers may ask themselves if the non-immigrant work visa, which currently accounts for a mere 0.0004 percent of America's 155 million workforce, is worth the hassle and can survive.
Moreover, if the H-1B visa survives, will skilled foreign talent, frustrated with new regulations, start to seek employment in other countries? As a guide to help answer those questions, what follows is a chronological review of the H-1B visa in the era of Donald Trump.
It begins on Oct. 28, 2015 where, during a CNBC debate, candidate Donald Trump endorses the H-1B visa saying, "I'm all in favor of keeping these talented people here so they can go to work in Silicon Valley." Three months later, during a Fox debate, Mr. Trump is asked to clarify that position, since at that time, the Trump/Pence web site claimed,"the H-1B visa would decimate American workers." Mr. Trump responds saying , "I'm changing. I'm changing. We need highly skilled people in this country. They want to stay in this country. We absolutely have to be able to keep the brainpower in this country." In a December 2016 meeting with technology leaders at Trump Tower, President-elect Trump reiterates that support proclaiming, "I am here to help, I want smart and talented people here."
Three days into his presidency, Mr. Trump signs an executive order, "Protecting American Jobs and Workers," which prioritizes the "protection of our forgotten working people – and the jobs they hold." The order calls for a "review of all regulations that allow foreign nationals to work in the United States, to determine which of those regulations violate immigration laws or are otherwise not in the national interest."
A March memorandum from the USCIS notes that since "individuals with only an associate's degree" can also be employed as computer programmers "it is improper to conclude that the USCIS would generally consider the position of programmer to qualify as a specialty occupation." The memorandum invalidates the H-1B visa applications of 40,333 computer programmers in the 2017 selection process.
Throughout 2017, strict enforcement of H-1B guidelines continues to be the top priority for the USCIS. On April 3, the agency issues a memorandum, "Putting American Workers First," authorizing a "more targeted approach" where USCIS agents would conduct "random and unannounced visits" at work sites to detect H-1B visa fraud.
On April 18 President Trump unveils his "Buy American, Hire American" executive order which says H-1B visas should only be awarded to "the most skilled and best paid immigrant workers." As he signs the order, Mr. Trump says, "right now H-1B visas are awarded in a totally random lottery and that's wrong." No alternative to the lottery is offered.
As 2017 rolls on, the USCIS inundates chief information officers with "requests for evidence," letter-of-the-law requests issued when the agency determined a H-1B visa application lacked necessary documentation. These clerical requests delayed by months application processing and talent deployment plans of chief information officers. By September the extent of this paperwork policy becomes clear: In the first eight months of the Trump administration the USCIS issues 85,000 requests, up 45 percent from the last year of the Obama Administration.
When President George H.W.Bush introduced the H-1B visa as part of the "Immigration Act of 1990" he said it was "a complementary blending of our tradition of family reunification with increased immigration of skilled individuals to meet our economic needs." What a difference 27 years makes. On Dec. 14, 2017, the USCIS announces plans to study the abolishment of the H-4 visa, a special visa issued to spouses and children, under the age of 21, of H-1B visa holders. A final decision on this measure is expected in June 2018.
And here we are in 2018. On January 25 Senators Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) and Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) did when they co-sponsor the "Immigration and Innovation Act of 2018" which proposes to replace the H-1B lottery system with a market-based approach that could, based on demand, raise the H-1B visa cap to 195,000. They hope their proposal will be part of any comprehensive immigration legislation passed by the Senate.
But evidence suggests market demand for H-1B visas is ebbing. The USCIS reports H-1B visa applications declined for the first time in eight years in 2017. Daniel Culbertson, economist at Indeed Hiring Lab, says "searches related to the H-1B visa, as a share of all searches on Indeed.com, have consistently declined through 2017 and into 2018. In February 2018, searches for H-1B as a share of all searches on our site are down nine percent from the 2017." He adds, "this also marks the thirteenth consecutive month of year-over-year declines. The decreased interest in H-1B related work from job seekers is a trend, not a temporary shift in preferences."
Where is the talent headed? "So far in 2018 Canada is the top destination for job seekers who have conducted a H-1B visa search," says Mr. Culbertson. In June 2017, the government of Canada launched Global Talent Stream, a fast track program which allows highly skilled technology workers to enter the country on a temporary visa in as little as two weeks.
The journalist Eric Sevareid once said, "the biggest business in America is not steel, automobiles or television. It is the manufacture, refinement and distribution of anxiety." For chief information officers who employ, or contract for, H-1B visa talent, "anxiety" remains the operative word as the H-1B selection process begins today.

What is Urban Gardening?
Urban Gardening
Urban farming, is the practice of cultivating, processing and distributing food in or around a village, town, or city.. Many low-income residents suffer from high rates of obesity and diabetes and limited sources of fresh produce. In the developing south, food security, nutrition, and income generation are key motivations for the practice. In either case, more direct access to fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat products through urban agriculture can improve food security and food safety.
I first learned about urban gardening while attending Integrative Nutrition Institute, one of our lectures was taught by Daphne Miller , MD a practicing family physician, author and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Miller is the founder of the Growing Health Collaborative, which brings together experts from medicine, public health and agriculture, to build a "health sensitive" food system from the soil up. Miller is a graduate of Brown University and Harvard Medical School and completed her family medicine residency and an NIH-funded primary care research fellowship at University of California, San Francisco. She was a senior advisor for Prevention Institute, is on the Advisory Board of the Center for Health and Nature at Oakland Children's Hospital, the UC Berkeley Institute for Parks, People and Biodiversity and the Edible Schoolyard Foundation and a past Fellow at the Berkeley Food Institute and the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Her lecture really caught my attention as she discussed holistic farming for improved health from the ground up and the great benefits of urban farming.
While looking for family volunteering opportunities I came across an urban garden in need of family volunteering, I immediately registered myself and my family to volunteer a few hours on a weekend. I had the fortune to be able to speak with Leo, who has worked at this great garden for 4 years and was able to provide so much valuable knowledge. This Urban garden at one point was considered a food dessert zone. Food dessert zone are defined as parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful wholefoods, usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers' markets, and healthy food providers. This was astonishing to us, as this Urban garden was located in a low income area in the city of Dania Beach, which is located near the City of Fort Lauderdale and Fort Lauderdale Real Estate, where one would imagine everyone would have access to fresh food and vegetables.
This wonderful Urban Garden is called The Patch Garden. I truly recommend you pay this little farm a visit whether its to volunteer or to purchase organic produce, take the family, make a day out of it, there is so much to learn on this farm, so much love from the volunteers, and most important let's all be part of the solution by spreading the word and knowledge. Let's continue to create the ripple effect, that will transform the world.

There's a lot that can go wrong with your RRSP or 'Registered Retirement Savings Plan'. It must be baffling for some to learn that something can go wrong with what is essentially a savings tool. But, considering the debt crisis we Canadians find ourselves in, its indication enough that we haven't quite been as smart with our money as we'd have liked to be. So, let us list down the common RRSP mistakes we tend to make.
When you're young, time and tide are on your side. But, time is only on your side because you potentially have years and years of money to earn. It's imperative to start accumulating money for the many uncertainties of life. In this case, however, the eventuality of retirement is hardly an uncertainty. Starting early is a general investment rule most investors swear by, and it holds true in the case of RRSP as well. If you're thirty and if you haven't started to accumulate steady savings for the purpose of your retirement, we say you must begin right away.
We have come across instances where individuals dive into their RRSP to fund their vacation to Acapulco or to Australia, while others may do so to sponsor their car. But, that's a common RRSP mistake! (Don't be alarmed if you find an unexpected tax bill at the end of the financial year!)
The point of the RRSP is to simply fund the retirement. The only two exceptions are: withdrawing funds from RRSP for the purpose of funding your first home and/or for the lifelong learning plan. But, remember, you must pay back the requisite sum eventually.
Unfortunately, the RRSP is not a kitchen sink. Naturally, there are limitations to the amount that you can save within the scope of your RRSP. This amount differs for those who have a pension plan versus those who don't. Those who don't have a pension plan can add 18% of the total income they generated in the previous year. However, the maximum amount they're entitled to add is $26,010 a year. The amount is naturally lower for those who don't have a pension plan. Canadians must remember that they can add a maximum of $2,000 dollars above limit during the course of their lifespan, anything over that sum can be taxed accordingly.
Life is unpredictable. A grave mistake people usually end up making is not revisiting their RRSP plan from time-to-time. Let's say you set forth a plan ten years back when you were 25. We are sure things have changed ten years down the line with regards to your financial position. Doesn't this also mean that you need to revisit your RRSP? Consider evaluating your retirement goals from here on and accordingly revise your RRSP plan.
It's important to avoid such common RRSP mistakes and common financial potholes. Are you looking for a financial management firm to help you handle your finances? Here's where you can get started.
