I'm proud to present the portrait of my guide, Jasper, as painted by my friend, Stephanie Reigle.
The image of Jasper is exactly as I've seen him in my head for the last few years.
Remarkably, I had no input into what Stephanie was painting. It was a result of her interacting with his energy, and suffering some of the same verbal abuse that I receive.
In addition to his image, he had her add details like the spotlights at the top, because he loves to be the star, parts of his extensive wardrobe and accessories collection, the 7 chairs that he and I sit in when we have staff meetings with my other guides, and even my money that he keeps in his shirt pocket.
You may notice that one of the chairs is labelled, "dazed and confused". Of course, that's my seat, because it describes my spiritual condition most of the time. At least it's an upgrade from the "dolt" and "lunkhead" labels he used to pin on me.
As far as I know, and remember, I'm dazed and confused, this is the first time an artist has been able to reproduce an image of someone's guide with such accuracy and realism.
Jasper loves to be the center of attention, so being first in that category suits him just fine!
If you want to find out more about my adventures in spirituality with Jasper, you can buy all of my books on this website, and read my blogs, also on this website.
I'm posting a link to Stephanie's website below, so if you are interested in her intuitive artwork, please check it out.

"... dozens of National Guard police." I'm on the Guatemala-Mexico border. This bridge is the main crossing for migrant caravans on their way to the United States. But this group, which left Honduras in mid-January, is about to hit a barrier. And they're still over 1,000 miles from the U.S. border. [Shouting] "Mexico shouldn't allow millions of people to try and enter our country." Last year, President Trump threatened Mexico with import tariffs, if the country didn't seal its border with Guatemala. So Mexico deployed a newly formed security force to block migrants from entering. Now this wave of some 4,000 migrants is putting enforcement here to the test. I wanted to see how Mexico would handle the challenge. What I find is a country taking a much harder line on its southern border, in response to U.S. pressure. I witness three attempts by migrants to cross into Mexico, each time, met with increasing force. This attempt ends with Mexican authorities letting small groups through to register with Migration. It's a legal obligation, and also a way of breaking up the caravan. Once in Mexico, the first thing migrants hear is a warning from the U.S. repeated over a loudspeaker. And then, an offer to send them home. By the end of the day, close to 2,000 migrants have registered to stay in Mexico, many with the goal of someday still reaching the U.S. What they don't know is that Mexico will end up returning most of them to Honduras. It's a new day, and more migrants are on the border, undeterred and ready to cross into Mexico. This time, a few petition Mexican authorities on behalf of the group, appealing for compassion to let them continue the caravan. But Mexico doesn't budge. So the group turns to Plan B. Border security are waiting for them on the other side of the Suchiate River. The standoff ends with the migrants staying put in Guatemala, and waiting for an opportunity to try to cross again. A few days later, with border security nowhere in sight, hundreds of migrants manage to get through, by crossing the river at a different spot, only to be met by dozens of troops who were waiting for them several miles down the road. [Screaming] [Shouting] Some 800 people are rounded up and forced onto buses, soon to be deported. In the face of pressure from all sides, Mexico stopped this group from reaching the U.S. border, giving the Trump administration exactly what it wants.
We first learned that it was a missile that took down a Ukrainian airliner over Iran because of this video showing the moment of impact. All 176 people on board were killed. To find out what happened to Flight 752 after it left Tehran airport on Jan. 8, we collected flight data, analyzed witness videos and images of the crash site, to paint the clearest picture yet of that disastrous seven-minute flight. We'll walk you through the evidence, minute by minute, from the plane's takeoff to the moment it crashed. It's the early hours of Wednesday, Jan. 8. Iran has just launched ballistic missiles at U.S. military targets in Iraq in retaliation for an American drone strike that killed Iranian military leader Qassim Suleimani. Iranian defenses are on high alert, on guard for a possible U.S. attack. Four hours later, at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, Flight 752, operated by Ukraine International Airlines, is getting ready for departure. At 6:12 a.m., the plane takes off. It flies northwest, and climbs to almost 8,000 feet in around three minutes, according to flight tracker data. It's following its regular route. Up ahead are several military sites. Until now, the plane's transponder has been signaling normally. But just before 6:15 a.m., it stops. This is where the first missile hits the plane. Footage from a security camera near one of the military sites shows the missile launch. It hits the plane, and knocks out the transponder. But the airliner keeps flying. A security camera, directly beneath, shows what happens next. A second missile launches 30 seconds after the first, and it explodes, moments later. A third video shows the impact. Let's watch it again, and slow it down. Here is the missile, and here is the plane. An Iranian military commander said a defense system operator mistook the passenger jet for a cruise missile. The plane is now on fire. We don't know its precise path after 6:15 a.m., but we do know that it turns back in the direction of the airport. It continues flying for several minutes, engulfed by flames. Around 6:19 a.m., a bystander films the plane slowly going down. There appears to be second explosion before the jetliner plummets outside Tehran about 10 miles from where the last signal was sent. A security camera captures that moment as the plane crashes toward it. Here we see the immediate aftermath of the crash. As day breaks, another witness films the smoldering wreckage. Debris is spread out over 1,500 feet along a small park, orchards and a soccer field, narrowly missing a nearby village. A large section of the plane looks badly charred. More jet parts are found here, and the plane's tail and wheels land over 500 feet away. It is a gruesome scene. The passengers' personal items — toys, clothes, photo albums — are scattered around. After days of denials, Iran took responsibility for the crash, blaming human error at a moment of heightened tensions.
"Hello." "O.K., it's happened. We're in business." "How's this?" "I like it, Alex." "Do you always keep instruments near your bed in case inspiration strikes?" "Well, I have a piano near me all the time, and I always have a good — yeah, the answer is yes." Singing: "Take me out and take me home. You're my, my, my, my lover." "I've never really been able to fully explain songwriting other than it's like this little glittery cloud floats in front of your face, and you grab it at the right time. And then you revert back to what you know about the structure of a song in order to fill in the gaps." "Where were you the moment inspiration struck?" "It was, I was in bed. I was in Nashville. I got out of bed. I think it was really late at night, and stumbled over to the piano." Voice memo: "O.K., so I had this idea that's like — obviously I don't know the verse, whatever yet, but I have a pretty cool, really simple, beautiful chorus idea called 'Lover.'" "I've been thinking for years, God, it would just be so great to have a song that people who are in love would want to dance to, like slow dance to. In my head, I had just the last two people on a dance floor at 3 a.m., swaying." "What did you have in your mind? Was it the title? Was it a lyric? Was it a melody?" "It was not — it was, can I go where you go? Can we always be this close?" Singing: "Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?" "I wanted the chorus to be these really simple existential questions that we ask ourselves when we're in love. 'Can I go where you go' is such a heavy thing to ask somebody. 'Can we always be this close' has so much fear in it, but so does love." "When did you hit upon the word 'lover'?" "Oh, I've always liked that word, but I've never used it in everyday life. When people are like, that's my lover over there or calling each other lover, I've never done that, but I've always loved it in the context of poetry or songs." "It's a polarizing word. Some people are like, 'Ugh, that word gives me the creeps.'" "Well, anything I do is polarizing. So, you know, I'm used to that." "Fair enough. So how much of the song did you get done that night at the piano in Nashville?" "The whole thing." "She sent me that voice note. Whether it's a whole song or just a little thing from her, I sort of get this big jolt, and I listen and I block out the whole world for a minute. Every lyric and melody was right there. And I was like …" [ding] "… get on a plane. She came in the next day. She sat right there. She played it." "It's basically, I don't see it as piano. I think it's that kind of dreamy, guitary, throwback, but not like camp throwback." "I know what you mean." "So —" [piano] "I thought it was the perfect song, which is really interesting because it's almost like even more of a duty to do it right." Singing: "You're my, my, my, my lover." "That seems so much better." "Yeah, I love the walk down." "That really fixes that part." "I love the walk down." "That was the only thing that —" "I was trying to figure out, what the hell is going to happen there? So the —" "That makes it so much better." Singing: "My, my, my, my." "When I'm working with Jack and Taylor, I'm working with two extremely creative people who are bouncing ideas back and forth so fast. So my job is to basically not slow them down in any way." "Laura's been by my side for every record I've made pretty much since people started listening to any of my records. We're all — three of us are in that process together." "We're just like ugh, like it's just fun. We're fully, fully acting on impulse. And we're acting on intuition, and we're acting on excitement and oat-milk lattes." "I remember the first thing I did was I went into the live room, which is right there. And at that time I had listened to a lot of Violent Femmes recently, and I was excited about how much feeling you could get out of a snare drum if it was a brush." [drums] "And I just remember going in and going 'psh,' one brush. I wasn't even really playing drums. I just kind of had one brush. I just —" "We were using real reverbs and real tape echoes. It gives a really special character to it where it does feel nostalgic." "The bass, which is a very, very, very special bass, belongs to the studio." "He was calling that the 'Paul bass.' Is that Paul McCartney?" "Yeah." "My old Hofner bass, my little baby. Come on, baby." "We were just referencing like what would Paul do — W.W.P.D.? Humming: Brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum. The bass line is actually the hook." "It's not a true 'Paul bass' though." "It's not a true 'Paul bass' at all, but it's better at that 'Paul thump' than I've ever gotten out of the violin bass." Humming: "Brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum." "The bass and the drum is sort of like — if you just hear those two tracks, like the entire space is so, I think, beautifully filled." "In the studio, I'm obsessively going over every lyric and making sure that's what I want the final lyric to be. So I'll be over, in my notes, just sharpen that, hone in on that." "Were there lines that changed in that process?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had toyed with the idea of being like, we could leave the Christmas lights up till April." Singing: "We could leave the Christmas lights up till January." "Doesn't everyone leave their Christmas lights up till January?" "But it's not about that being a crazy thing. It's about how mundane it is. It's about we could put a rug over there. We could do wallpaper, or we could do paint." Singing: "This is our place. We made the rules." "When young adults go from living in their family to then combining their life with someone else, that's actually like the most profound thing." "To be just telling this story — I don't know. It almost feels like an old story I've heard many times. I mean, I guess it is, people falling in love." "Tell me about the importance of the bridge to you. I feel like you love a bridge. This is a special bridge. Talk to me about it." "I love a bridge. I love a bridge so much. I love trying to take the song to a higher level with the bridge." "There's these, sort of, hand-plucking strings and these kind of flutes that are popping out." "I wanted it to be the first time we introduced the idea of vows." "Make it feel like a little wedding." Singing: "Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand?" "I love to take a common phrase and twist it. So the bridge, I took all these common phrases that we say about weddings …" Singing: "With every guitar-string scar on my hand." "I like to add something that changes the phrase." Singing: "I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover." "Without a bridge, a song can sort of feel almost like a jingle. You know when you're driving through beautiful scenery, and you're like mountains, trees. Oh my God, right? And all of a sudden you go through a tunnel and you're like, what the [expletive]? And then it's back. Mountains and trees, so beautiful. It's like you need that third element to take you away from where you've been so you're so excited to get it back. Specifically in 'Lover' when you come out of the bridge and you go back into the chorus, you're just 'phew.'" Singing: "Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close, forever and ever?" "And it was all done in that one day." "Oh yeah." "I mean, I think we were all really excited when we left the studio that day." "Even if anybody had been like, I don't think this one is great, I would have been like, 'Well, I reject your feedback because I love this one.'" "It's the perfect song, and tells that story perfectly and pulls me right into where she wants me, as the listener, to be. You're my, you're my, you're my, you're my, you're my what? And then —" [thump] Singing: "Lover." "Do you have guitar-string scars on your hands?" "Well, I mean, I have extreme calluses. You can't see them, probably, but they're all — and I have some from just changing strings and not being very good at it. Do you know what I mean? Like some where you're like tuning, tuning, tuning. Pop. Ow."
In a far corner of northwestern China, a car drives along a wall lined with barbed wire, heading towards what looks like a standard apartment complex. Access here is restricted, and the cameraperson is filming secretly … … because this is no ordinary residence. It's part of a contentious labor resettlement program run by the Chinese government to extend state control over Muslim minorities, mostly Uighurs, by moving them from one part of China to work in another. This covert, low-quality footage that we've adjusted to reveal some details, and obscure others, gives us some rare insights into how people in this program live and are indoctrinated. Over the last few years, the mass incarceration of more than a million Uighurs and Kazakhs by the Chinese government has led to international outrage. These labor programs are part of that larger story. Let's take a closer look at the compound we showed you at the beginning. It's in Xinjiang, in the northern city of Kuitun, where the population is mostly China's Han ethnic majority. But the workers in the compound are Uighurs, and other minorities transferred there from their homes in Hotan and Kashgar, hundreds of miles away. At the Kuitun complex there are multiple dormitories. We see that right around the time the transfer started in 2017, a security checkpoint and another building, a cafeteria, were built at the site. The cameraperson is now shooting inside of the cafeteria. We can see the compound's residents. They all work as street cleaners. A sign describing the program calls them Kashgar and Hotan surplus labor. It also lists instructions for how they should conduct themselves. And another poster offers guidelines on how to interact with the local population. This program and others like it have led to the relocation of hundreds of thousands of Uighurs away from their homes and families. But government propaganda openly promotes these as poverty alleviation initiatives. What's at stake here is about more than just putting people into labor programs. The bigger goal is to turn Uighurs and other ethnic minorities away from their own heritage, to be more in line with the rest of Communist China. Back at the compound, the rules strictly limit when and where the workers can go. We hear about this as a cameraperson meets residents in the sleeping quarters. This man was pressured to come here a year earlier, leaving his family, a wife and young child, behind. His life here includes mandatory Mandarin classes in the evenings. And despite the government's claim that they are lifting these workers out of poverty, he says he's only making a third of what he did back home. Yarkand County is the home he left behind. For Uighurs in towns like these, the future is becoming increasingly uncertain because the decision, whether to stay or go, is often no longer in their hands.

y passion for wine and for my grandson took flight at the same time. This was purely coincidental. On August 10, 2011, I clipped an article from the Houston Chronicle about the Texas Wine School. As a wine aficionado, I was eager to expand my knowledge, so I immediately put the article in my "to do" file. Three days later, on August 12, my first Grandson, James Robbins Howard, was born in Los Angeles. I spent the next several weeks being charmed and disarmed by this precious little bundle, and wondering how this new "grandmother" identity would figure into my life.
Fast forward three months. While I became acquainted with James via Skype - two thousand miles away- I enrolled in the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Level I class at the Texas Wine School. I was immediately captivated, just as I'd been with James. But now I had a new James in my life: James King, my instructor and mentor. I was so excited about these classes that I enrolled in Level II and, having passed that exam (with distinction, no less) I signed up for Level III. The Level III class involved eight consecutive Saturdays – from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. – of sipping, spitting, slurping and yes, sometimes swallowing. Weeknights were spent at home poring over books describing viticulture, vinification, and the many wine regions of the world, and learning how to distinguish a Burgundian Pinot Noir from one in New Zealand or Oregon or California. Since then, I have studied to become a French Wine Scholar, a Certified Wine Specialist, and a Level I Sommelier.
So, here I am today, in the midst of a new decade of life with two passions that have enriched my world beyond words. I invite you to travel along the wine trail with me, where adventure, friendships, and love of the grape come together to forge unlikely connections and unique experiences. Along the way, we will discover what being a grandmother means to today's woman, who would much rather embrace life to its fullest instead of calling it a day and retiring to a rocking chair.

FR RICHARD ROHR is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province. He founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1986, where he presently serves as Founding Director. An internationally known speaker, he teaches on such themes as adult Christian spirituality, men's spirituality, and politics and spirituality, and has published many books, including Falling Upward and Immortal Diamond (SPCK, 2012 and 2013 respectively).
Breathing Under Water is a must-read for any person who recognizes the need to go "inward" on their soul's journey to question what their relationship is with God, themselves, and others. The author guides us on a journey that begins with a powerlessness or being shipwrecked on a deserted island. It is God's greatest surprise and constant disguise. We always want to be the manager of our lives. But God makes sure that several things will come our way that we cannot manage on our own... What Breathing Under Water comes to be is an understanding that those people who have undergone suffering and pain come up to be a compassionate people, loved by God, to be there for others experiencing a similar challenge in life. Rohr summarizes that a graced moment from God is when the suffering people can love and trust a suffering God, and through this deep transformation, will save and be there for one another.; Paula J.

Startups frequently prepare a "pitch deck" to present their company to an angel or venture capital investors. The pitch deck typically consists of 15-20 slides in a PowerPoint presentation and is intended to showcase the company's products, technology, and team to the investors.
Raising capital from investors is difficult and time consuming. Therefore, it's crucial that a startup absolutely nails its investor pitch deck and articulates a compelling and interesting story.

Private equity firm ChrysCapital has increased its stake holding in Mumbai-based infrastructure solutions provider focusing on water management and urban infrastructure space Pratibha Industries Ltd, a flagship company of the Pratibha Group, by acquiring additional 3.64 per cent stake through open market transaction.
The PE firm has acquired around 3.7 million equity shares comprising 3.64 per cent stake in Pratibha Industries from Citigroup Global Markets Mauritius Private Limited at a share price of 41.25 per share, shelling out Rs 15.17 crore (approximately $2.5 million), the bulk deal data on BSE showed.
With this, while Citigroup Global Markets has completely exited the Mumbai-based company, ChrysCapital has increased its stake in Pratibha Industries to 9.67 per cent, becoming the single-largest institutional shareholder of the company.
The PE firm holds stake in Pratibha Industries via its investment vehicle Warhol Ltd. ChrysCapital had invested Rs 100 crore in Pratibha Industries through a preferential allotment in 2010.
Founded in 1982, Pratibha Industries focuses on water management and urban infrastructure space. The firm started its foray with manufacturing of SFRC manhole covers & frames, which were designed & introduced as a replacement to the conventional cast iron manholes cover & frames.
Promoted by Kulkarni family, it has been facing bottom-line pressure.
While the company's revenue almost doubled from Rs 1,272 crore to Rs 2,300 crore between FY11 and FY14, its net profit declined from Rs 71 crore to Rs 15 crore in the same period. Its bottom-line was particularly hit last year. But its profits have seen some improvement lately.
Pratibha Industries' scrip closed at Rs 42.30 a share, down 5.58 per cent on BSE in a weak Mumbai market on Thursday.

Pros and Cons of Learning to Fly at a Small Airport
- February 27, 2018
- Flying, General Aviation Information
- Posted by AircraftSales.US
- Leave your thoughts
Eight out of ten pilots-in-training quit before becoming fully-fledged pilots. When you couple that with the pilot shortage, it's clear to see that learning how to fly – learning the basics and then mastering the small details that make all the difference – can be an exhausting process. There is a lot to consider when it comes time to pick your flight school. There are pros and cons to learning to fly at a small airport, just like there are pros and cons to learning to fly at the majors. Join us for an exploration of just what those pros and cons are and learn how to make an informed decision that's right for you!
Choosing a Flying School
The first thing you need to consider is what school is best for you. Do you want to go to a flight "university" or do you want to take the more one-on-one route of a local school? There isn't one right answer here, your decision will ultimately come down to personal preference. This is as true for choosing a flying school as it is for considering the pros and cons of learning to fly at a small airport. Large scale flight schools offer qualified and experienced instructors. Their equipment and tech are the best of the best. You'll be held to strict standards and get the opportunity to network with valuable contracts in the aviation industry. You'll also end up spending a lot of money and be held to incredibly strict flying rules. This is less than ideal when you consider that entry-level commercial pilot salaries can be as low as $31,000. If, on the other hand, you decide to opt for a local flight program, you'll likely have a more personalized experience. You may not be able to fly in complex, challenging airspaces, but you're almost guaranteed to spend more time in the air. You won't learn as many radio calls, signals, or procedures, but you'll be freer to practice the type of flying that resonates most with you. It's also worth considering the possibility that a smaller flight school may not be financially stable. You don't want to invest your time and money into a program that won't be around in a decade or two.
Commons Pros and Cons of Learning to Fly at a Small Airport
Taking a deeper dive into what we discussed above, it bears mentioning some of the more common complaints about small airports. These are all important to consider when deciding where you want to learn to fly. A major con of learning to fly at a small airport is the lack of complex airspaces. While it isn't a requirement that you cut your aviation teeth in the Baltimore-Washington airspace – and all the challenges that space entails – it can be helpful. After all, flying above rural fields is a much, much different experience than flying above a city. Another major con of learning to fly at a small airport is that it takes you longer to get comfortable on the radio. This might seem like a small consideration, but feeling comfortable on the radio, and communication with control tower operators, goes a long way towards feeling more comfortable in the sky. A serious pro of learning to fly at a small airport is that you're going to spend much more time in the air and much less time waiting around. From being tarmac bound in sequence behind commercial planes to vectoring around waiting for those same commercial planes to land – major airports mean major wait time. Ultimately, the choice between a large or small airport for your training comes down to personality. Are you comfortable at a large airport? Then go for it. Not so comfortable? Opt for a smaller airport. Regardless of where you choose to learn to fly, you can trust that Aircraft Sales.US is the easiest and most convenient way to buy and sell aircraft online.

To our local future, past, and present customers, we are now showing several pieces in Artworks Gallery at Greenbank Farm! I get several requests each month for a peek at our stuff in person, but since we have only been make-to-order in the past, it's been hard to show people any of our pieces except the ones we're currently working on. So, we are very excited to have this opportunity to display some pieces for anyone interested in seeing-before-buying a piece!
We usually have several of our most popular pieces, including a mirror, a Gradient, a Water Lily, and a Sea Crest although not always in the sizes listed on our website (we have to make our pieces fit on the gallery walls!). There are usually several small pieces and the gallery is where we show off our brand new styles! Thanks for reading!

Roshani – A Light In Old Age Home
Old Age Home at Nagoa is providing support to many senior citizens. Many of them have crossed age of 70 years, and due to growing age some are facing health problems. To address the need of senior citizens, Lupin Human Welfare and Research Foundation (LHWRF) has initiated 'Roshani' project.
Eye checkup camp was organized for the elderly under the guidance of expert ophthalmologist. Eye test helped old aged people to get correct number for their spectacles. LHWRF provided new spectacles to 21 elderly while 4 persons were advised to undergo cataract operation. Training session on 'Eye Care and Safety' was also conducted.
Project 'Roshani' has brought light in the life of elderly people from Old Age Home, Nagoa.
Beneficiary Testimony
"At our age health problem is nothing new. We have accepted it. My vision was blurring for quite a bit for now. One day people from LHWRF arrange an eye checkup camp. They gave me correct spec number and made me a new spectacle. They also take a training session on eye care and safety. We were told what's good and what's not for eyes and vision. Now my vision has become better – no more blur."Thank you project Roshani and LHWRF for making the evening of our life better.


text: Photography is an activity that takes time. To capture a good shot can mean staying in the same place for awhile. I like to call it slow photography. When I saw this wall and the shadows and I decided to give it some time. In New York City on a Sunday afternoon in the Village with nice weather, it doesn't take long for many people to pass by. But then there's the chance of getting the one gesture, an expression! Patience is a virtue when being able to get the shot. And patience is not something that is typical to feel when you are in the midst of a really busy city. It takes a little practice. And I need to remind myself of that on a regular basis. There is great street photography to be had in this city and if you want to explore the city with a camera and learn more about street photography, I have a few workshops coming up in April and plenty of reviews if you want to hear what others say about them. Shadows in the Village, 2 April 2017.

In safety push, school districts look to more secure entrances
In the never-ending push to make schools safer, local districts in recent years have turned to capital projects and special technology money to add new security layers at school entrances.
Local districts have expanded use of cameras and have used capital projects to upgrade school entrances into spaces secured by two sets of locked doors controlled by school staff.
In Schenectady, where the district is engaged in a years-long effort to update buildings, all of the schools have been equipped with locked entrances outfitted with cameras monitored by staff.
But about half of the school buildings have yet to be renovated to include the second layer of security offered by the secure vestibules, Superintendent Larry Spring said.
"That is the piece we are adding to buildings as we go through and do more significant renovations — that is what we are laying out as our standard," Spring said Thursday. "Obviously, we can't do it everywhere all at once."
At Pleasant Valley Elementary, for example, visitors buzz the main office to be let in; once the door is unlocked, a visitor enters directly into the school, with access to stairs leading to the second floor before crossing paths with the main office. If someone wanted to dodge checking in with the main office, little would be in their way.
A second set of locked doors — forming what is called a secure vestibule — forces visitors to present themselves to the office before entering the main part of a school.
"When we do this work, major renovations work, top on the list of must-haves is a secure entrance," Spring said Thursday, speaking the day following a school shooting in Florida that killed 17 students and staff, the deadliest since the 2012 slaughter of young children in Newtown, Connecticut.
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake and Duanesburg school districts both included the creation of secure vestibule entrances in recent capital projects, as have other districts. Schalmont is planning a complete reworking of their high school front entrance as part of a capital project approved by voters in 2016. The project, which Schalmont business official Joe Lenz said was expected to be done by fall 2019, would establish the secure vestibule entrance attached to a new main office located where the school library is now. The district's middle and elementary school buildings were already upgraded to the vestibule entrances.
Saratoga Springs City School District has secure vestibules at its schools and has used a portion of state technology funds to expand its use of security cameras and to further secure building access points. As part of a capital project the district will put up for voter approval in May are plans to invest in outdoor lighting and fencing.
Scotia-Glenville last month added a buzzer system to the entrances at its high school and middle school, so visitors now have to be allowed in through locked doors, district spokesman Bob Hanlon said; before the change, visitors could enter through unlocked doors but would have to check-in with school staff. The elementary schools had the buzzer systems already in place.
Districts in the past few years have also expanded the presence of school cameras both inside and out of schools. They are required by state law to practice a variety of different lockdown and lockout scenarios and adopt both public and private safety plans that spell out how district leaders and local law enforcement will respond to an emergency like an active shooter.
"We plan for the day-to-day and also plan for the worst and hope it never happens," Duanesburg Superintendent Frank Macri said Thursday, adding that he is looking to gather this summer with state police, local sheriff's deputies and district administrators to review safety protocols, which the new superintendent said had been in the works prior to Wednesday's shooting in Florida.
In response to the shooting, Duanesburg and other districts shared tips for how parents can talk with their kids about what they are seeing in the news. Shenendehowa outlined the steps to improve safety the district has taken in recent years.
Designing for safety
The spate of school shootings that have unfolded across the country over the past two decades has forever altered the way that school buildings are designed and renovated, moving safety to the fore of conversations.
Shawn Hamlin, an architect working on Schenectady's ongoing capital projects, said safety-focused vendors used to be a small part of school construction conferences he visited for his work; now, the safety consultants are omnipresent at the events.
As he walks in schools with educators, the threat of an active shooter or other threat to students are overriding concerns, sometimes conflicting with academic or aesthetic considerations.
"I can't walk into a school and talk about beautiful light," he said. "A lot of it is dominated by shootings and violence, and that's sad. … It does affect every thought about how we design."
Hamlin said strengthening security at entrances is primarily a starting place in evaluating what can be done to improve the design and layout of a school. While there are consultants who specialize in school safety and security, that is not Hamlin's expertise, he said.
But schools aren't built to protect students from a gunman; they are built to teach students. Schools are also viewed as public community spaces and often play host to outside organizations and activities.
"It kind of works against having a secure fortress complex," Hamlin said. "You have a building that wants to be open to the community, but conversely you have a building with the most precious parts of that community, the children, which sadly have been under assault."
The nature of the active shooter threat also presents design challenges unlike those presented by the risk of fires or weather disasters, he said. Each school shooting offers designers and administrators a new set of facts to consider as they look to better secure buildings and mitigate the ever-present risks.
The shooter in Florida on Wednesday pulled a fire alarm, exacerbating the chaos in the school and drawing students into the halls.
"It is a twist that is taking a lot of time, it affects how the building is organized all the way to the selection of hardware that goes on doors," Hamlin said of the active shooter threat. "It is unpredictable and it will remain that way."
Hamlin and educators also acknowledged the limits of building in safety measures into schools and the unpredictability of the challenges they are trying to address. A secure vestibule, Spring said, can only do so much against someone set on wreaking havoc in a school.
"If someone is going to come up to school with a couple of AR-15s and thousands of rounds of ammunition and are looking to kill dozens of people, there are lots of ways for them to force their way into the school beside that secure vestibule," Spring said.
Schenectady High School is among the district schools that have yet to be upgraded to a secure vestibule. The school's front entrance is locked and monitored by camera and visitors are required to check in at a desk in the hall, but once buzzed into the school, visitors have direct access to hallways before moving through a main office.
The school is in line to get about $4 million from a broader capital project that has been approved by voters and is currently under design, but much of that money is already earmarked for improvements to the school's basic utility and heating and cooling needs. Another project still a few years away is planned to fund far more extensive renovations at the high school. Spring said broader designs to upgrade the high school entrance would be part of the current planning process, but he said it was too early to know how much would be done to improve the entrance before the high school-specific project.
Upgrades to the security of entrances at Zoller, Woodlawn and Martin Luther King Jr. elementary schools are expected to be included in the current project.
"It gradually has continued to push school administrators thinking about what is it we need to do around these notions of safety," Spring said of preparing for threats to schools. "There will never be an end to that, we will always have to be thinking about that next thing."

Publish blog on your own website.
In , as default, user can publish her blog in http://yourname.blogspot.com. I have 3 reasons why I publish my blog in http://fadshop.net/blog :
- I have enough ftp space in http://fadshop.net.
- fadshop.net is my homepage, and you can search it from Google.com and any other search-engine.
- http://xxx.blogspot.com is blocked by China.
So I go to "Settings"->"Publishing", input my ftp address, username, password, and the path of folder where I want to put my blogs: /fadshop/wwwroot/blog/.
Be careful: If you have sensitive files in your webspace, or if you don't trust blogger.com, don't put your password and username.
It's easy. But if your want to publish your Site Feed, atom.xml at the same time, you should do more. Site Feed is an XML file that can be read by RSS Readers and RSS Aggregators to identify new messages in your blog. Go to "Settings"->"Site Feed" and check the "Site Feed Server Path". Usually we can put this XML file in the same folder as the blog. In my case, I put
"/fadshop/wwwroot/blog/" in the "Server Path" and "atom.xml" in the "Site Feed Filename", so I know the "Site Feed URL" will be http://fadshop.net/blog/atom.xml
After this, I added < a href="< $ BlogSiteFeedUrl $ >" title="Atom feed" >(Site Feed)< /a > in my template, then you can see the link.

Crosley Field Seat Color Top Pen
- This pen is crafted from authentic Crosley Field seat wood.
- Measuring 5" long and a slim 7/16" in diameter, this rhodium-plated rollerball pen features the seat wood twice: the barrel is turned from the wood and the painted surface is set in the top. Engraved with ballpark name. Ships with rollerball cartridge (Schmidt P8126 or P8127) and can also accept "Parker style" ballpoint refill cartridges.
- Officially licensed by Major League Baseball, each pen comes
gift-boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The 1970's found most Major League Ballparks converting to plastic seats from wood. This product is crafted from the old, wooden seats. Due to the age of the wood and uniqueness of the seats, no two products will be exactly the same. The painted surfaces may be multicolored due to layers of paint.Warning: This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Additional Product Information
Crosley Field, originally named Redland Field, was built upon the site of two previous ballparks - League Park and Palace of the Fans - and completed in 1912 for the Cincinnati Reds. In 1919, it was the site of the "Black Sox" World Series and, in 1935, hosted the first MLB night game after the installation of 632 lamps. Throughout its history, it was one of the smallest stadiums in the major leagues and noted for its "terrace," a fifteen-degree incline on the left-field that was known to both frustrate and be favored by players. In 1972 it was demolished but not forgotten as the Great American Ball Park entrance features the Crosley Terrace monument incorporating inclines and famous players from that era.

LAU faculty and students join the fight against TB
On World Tuberculosis Day, we review the initiatives of LAU faculty and students in the fight against the highly contagious bacterial disease.
"It is a killing disease. It kills millions worldwide every year," says LAU School of Pharmacy's Clinical Assistant Professor Dr. Hanine Mansour of tuberculosis (TB), a disease which infects one new person every second. While Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — known as the BRICS countries — witness the most infections, "we see more cases now in Lebanon because of the Syrians being displaced and the increase in refugee numbers."
Today marks World Tuberculosis Day, which, says the World Health Organization, provides an opportunity to raise awareness about the burden of the disease worldwide and the status of TB prevention and control efforts. While some figures are encouraging — 37 million lives were saved through effective diagnosis and treatment of TB between 2000 and 2013 — others are not.
Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) was first detected in the 1990s. In 2013 alone, 480,000 people developed the disease. "The standard treatment for TB used to be a combination of four medications that would see the patient heal, but lately we've been seeing a lot of resistance to the common standard treatment," explains Mansour. Together with fellow LAU professor Dr. Lamis Karaoui and Dr. Elias Chahine from Palm Beach Atlantic University, she recently reviewed Bedaquilin, a new medication developed to combat MDR-TB.
"Bedaquiline is a second-line medication used as part of a multi-drug treatment on patients with MDR-TB," says Karaoui. As to why they chose to review Bedaquiline, Mansour explains that "we saw an urgency in informing people about the drug. It's been 40 years since an anti-TB drug has been developed and there was a need for a review that looked through all the available test data and presented a paper accessible to busy medical clinicians and faculty like ourselves."
It is too early to know how many lives Bedaquiline will save, and, as the review notes, the drug has some serious side effects, including increased unexplained high mortality and heart arrhythmia. "The drug was approved by the FDA as an orphan drug — one that requires permission to be used in only unique cases. We concluded that it has great potential and recommend further trials to elaborate on the efficacy and safety of the medication," notes Karaoui. At the same time, the pharmacists are not hopeful that these trials will manifest, as one treatment of Bedaquiline costs $34,000 while TB is not one of the major diseases affecting North America and Europe, where research grants are most easily available.
Mansour is now collaborating with a clinician from a hospital in Qatar to compare the safety and efficacy of a one tablet combination to separate tablets regimens. Meanwhile, LAU pharmacy students have also been involved in an initiative to assist in the prevention and treatment of the highly contagious airborne disease. As part of their rotation with the Ministry of Public Health, they have collaborated with its director of public relations and health education Dr. Rasha Hamra — herself an LAU graduate — in the development of a medication pamphlet for TB patients, as part of the National Tuberculosis Program.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Don't Go Shopping For Fun
Stores have become easy entertainment and a mindless way to waste time. But entertaining them just because you're looking for something to do is just encouragement to spend money you don't really need to, and probably didn't expect to. Instead of stores and other shopping places, find someplace else to entertain yourself. Try playing basketball, going to a museum, visit a friend.
Perks at Banks?
Banks are fortresses that protect our money. When starting a bank make sure you ask a few questions regarding benefits for banking with that company. Larger banks have decent perks which help save money such as Wells Fargoâ??s WayToSave option for its customers who have a checking account. How this work is a dollar is transferred to a savings account each time you use your debit card. In addition, banks have protections and insurances to keep your money safe in case you lose your card, had your card stolen, or received a new card. Look into their financial programs. Some banks even offer credit cards.?

I always appreciate tips on how to live life to the full on a budget. And with two kids under 5, life definitely feels full! Here are some resources I've found really helpful.
After housing, food is the next biggest expense in our household. We try to cook as many meals as possible at home. And while we try to cook as much as possible from scratch, decent-quality frozen pizza is a lifesaver that prevents us from ordering expensive takeout!
One phone app I've found really helpful is Flipp – you input your postal code, and you can see (and search) all the flyers for stores near you. Here's how I use it:
A similar app I haven't used is reebee. And there's also a PC Plus app that you can use at Loblaws, No Frills and other stores to save even more.
I don't know if you're the same, but before I had kids I rarely went to the library. Now, it's one of our favourite places to go. In addition to the books and DVDs you can borrow and take home, there are lots of fun programs including story and music times that are great for younger kids especially. Our library system also has ebooks you can view on a tablet or computer.
One of my all-time favourite bloggers is Mr. Money Mustache. MMM, as he's known, is a Canadian living in Colorado who retired in his early 30s by living frugally and saving a big percentage of his income. He writes about "how you can create a life that is better than your current one, that just happens to cost 50-75% less."
I love his candour and refreshing perspective on life, especially on parenting. It's super easy to get caught up in wanting to provide great opportunities and experiences for your kids, and thinking you have to spend a lot of money to do so.
Case in point: when my son was 2 and I was about to go on mat leave with my second child, I really struggled with the decision of what kind of program to enroll him in. The thought of having both kids at home terrified me. I'd found a really nice half-day preschool program just a couple of blocks away that seemed perfect – but expensive. I didn't have any parental leave top-up from my employer so I knew it would be a stretch for us financially. I was really torn because I wanted to give him the opportunities to learn, socialize with other kids and get ready for school, but didn't know if I could justify the cost.
Then I read Mr. Money Mustache's Avoiding Ivy League Preschool Syndrome.
The all caps made it hard to avoid one of his key messages: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN YOUR KIDS UP TO DO EXPENSIVE THINGS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL!!"
And that was what I needed to hear. I was still worried I wouldn't be able to manage two kids at home. But I think my real worry was that my son wouldn't be ready for school, and that he'd somehow be behind if I didn't spend the money on a fancy preschool. In the end it worked out great – I was able to find a couple of free city-run drop-off programs that were great, grandparents came and visited for long stretches and helped with childcare, and we found other free things to do in the community. And it was such a bad winter, I was actually glad I didn't have to trudge through the snow every day to take him to preschool.
The reason I've put Mr. Money Mustache at the top of the list is that the most important thing we can do is change our mindset about what living a great life looks like, and realizing that it doesn't mean spending a lot of money.
The Minimalist Mom is another blogger who inspires me and reminds me of what's important. She paid off paid off over $60,000 in debt in a year and blogs about "a rich life with less stuff." I have some packrat tendencies and she encourages me to purge – check out How Many Spatulas do You Really Need?
And Momastery is popular for a reason – one of my favourites is Give Me Gratitude or Give Me Debt where she responds to readers who commented that her kitchen looked dated.
One of the best resources for me is a group of similar-minded friends with kids – especially those with slightly older kids. They're a great source of parenting and money-saving tips – and hand-me-downs! We've inherited lots of toys and clothes, and been loaned or given kid-related equipment that has saved us a lot of money. In turn, we're happy to pass things along to other families when we're done with them. Not only is it great for the budget, it's great for the environment.
Lastly, if you're borrowing off a line of credit or credit card, you should pay off your debt as soon as you can. Just making the minimum monthly payment on a credit card will mean a lot of your budget is eaten up by high interest costs.
These are some of the resources I've found really helpful for living life to the full with kids on a budget. What tips and resources do you have? Is there an app you use to save money on groceries? A favourite blog? Share in the comments below. (We'll post after we make sure it's not spam!)

Thanks for vist and like great post for sharing with friends regards Ian 😀
take my six hours, we'll call it a day
I'd like to leap a different way
a quarter to keep for myself
a fraction of time that is mine
all just mine
borrowed time there on the shelf
I'd rise at first stroke
spend my two bits till I'm broke
a revolution, in minutes, all mine
no time to do aught but eat and clear up
is this how I'd spend that brief time
breakfast at twelve, elevenses at one
lunchtime I'd have about two
afternoon tea at the a.m. of three
and dinner at four, that would do
I'd supper at five, that would be a surprise
and at six I'd depart for the night
one hour to rest then up on my feet
to begin a new day, sleepless fright
but oh, what a waste, to be eating in haste
and spend all night washing up

Twenty Angels
by louis gander
12/19/2012 / Death
Pure evil smashed through fragile doors
with lives misunderstood -
fought cowardly in anger -
with twenty Angels, good.
Then hero's lives were sacrificed
as many children hid.
We cannot make the pieces fit -
but twenty Angels did.
So now there's something in my eyes
there's dampness on my cheek -
and I can feel the echo when
those twenty Angels speak.
The question that I struggle with -
is, "Where do Angels go?"
I'm not sure of the answer, but
our twenty Angels know.
In memory of the 20 children
and 6 adults killed at Newtown, CT

I want to eat even unusual fried rice on such a day. It is a charr hunter.
By the way, I want to go to "まんねん" of the ramen shop in the east street mall today.
Because there is it at the east street mall of the bar street; for a drinking session return only in the whole going in a group of men in the last go to close it, and play greedily too much, and the last train is over, and let's think after having decreased by a stomach first of all, and eating "まんねん"!
There are not many people from って, too; shall do it?
Quite night busy shop なんですよ, here!
Though the ramen is delicious for loss, the shop side guesses オムチャーハン; and this is a noted product, too! I do a previous tool for a feeling to be.
I always eat sets with the ramen, but want to go by a one of オムチャーハン (650 yen) game this time.
There is it with others, fried rice and kimchi fried rice.
It was right in the middle in noon, but the visitor was sparse.
After all, as is expected, is there not the person of this company work that I go, and going comes to eat a meal at noon because night is Maine to here?
That reminds me the story burn that does not have relations
A shop of Doyama of TSUTAYA closed. It is the greatest thing in old days that I am sorry because there are many people who watch the memory that I asked for a rental for occasionally in a net without renting it in shop だったのやけどなぁもう now that there is.
It is an appearance of オムチャーハン for ってな reason.

Oh, the careful thing will reach without minding it.
I finish it with the egg which I put the thing which cut the roasted pork fillet which I use for ramen in cubes in gently light and pick you up on fried rice.
Fried rice in itself fries it with a carrot and a leek and an egg, and the seasoning seems to be Chinese soup stock and salt and Ajinomoto.
Even this toasted rice ball is delicious, but a tapir tapir is good in reliable taste when I join with チャーシューオム.
I think that this rather deep ramen and affinity are good because there are many people who order what I finish slightly thin with a set with the ramen.

Royal Rumble 2018 results: AJ Styles retains WWE Championship after beating Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn
The Phenomenal One stole the win after rolling up his rival Owens, but there was some controversy about the win
AJ STYLES retained his WWE Championship with a stunning win over Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in the Royal Rumble opener.
The Phenomenal One stole the win after rolling up his SmackDown Live rival Owens following a highly-contested encounter.
But there was some controversy about the win as it looked like Zayn was the legal man in the ring when Owens was pinned.
The duo were fuming and complained to SmackDown GM Shane McMahon, who did little to brighten their mood and laughed their complaints off.
Owens and Zayn used their numerical advantage well to start, tagging in and out quickly, freshening up as Styles struggled to strike.
The champ used his superior skill well as the match progressed, with beautiful use of his high-flying ability.
Styles and Zayn both used their finishers in the clash, but both were kicked out of.
Then the title holder snagged the win to the fury of his rivals.
It means Styles keeps the WWE Championship he won off Jinder Mahal at the end of last year.

Silberstein wins DOE grant to study polymer membranes
By Tom Fleischman |
Meredith Silberstein, assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is one of 84 scientists chosen by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive funding as part of the DOE Office of Science's Early Career Research Program.
Silberstein, the Mills Family Faculty Fellow, will use her funding – $750,000 over five years – to pursue her study of the fundamental physical mechanisms for self-regulation of synthetic polymers and gels under electric fields.
"I'm really excited to pursue this fundamental research into the direct modulation of polymer membranes' mechanical properties with electric fields," she said, noting that the work was inspired by the role of local electric fields in dynamic modification of biological membranes.
Silberstein, who received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program award in 2017, hopes to design polymer membranes that behave much like biological membranes, which she says are constantly assessing "operating" conditions and optimizing their function by adjusting their properties.
This research, which will employ computational simulation, theoretical modeling, synthesis, and experiments, is enabled by emerging approaches for tailoring polymers through controlling the mechanical strength of certain molecular bonds.
"In the long term," she said, "we expect that our work will lead to the design of membranes that respond productively – for instance, by strengthening or healing – to the dynamically varying electrical field environments inherent to batteries and fuel cells."
Silberstein, who joined the Cornell faculty in 2013, received her bachelor's (2005), master's (2008) and Ph.D. (2011) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research interests include material design and continuum mechanics.
This work addresses two of the DOE's key initiatives: the Biomolecular Materials Core Research Area, calling for discovery, design and synthesis of bioinspired functional materials; and its Basic Research Need, optimizing functionality of materials to enable holistic design for energy storage.
The DOE early career program, in its ninth year, is designed to bolster the nation's scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers during the crucial early career years, when many scientists do their most formative work.
Fifty-four scientists from university-based labs will receive grants of at least $150,000 a year for five years. Another 30 scientists from the DOE's national laboratories will receive five-year grants of at least $500,000 per year.

Bedbugs Infest Minneapolis – Find Out Why Bed Bugs Are Now Harder To Kill
Bed Bugs Are Back! In news that may give you hives… Minneapolis is the 15th most bed bug-infested city in the country.
Gene Study Finds Irritating Pests Are Evolving Rapidly to Withstand Pesticides
The first comprehensive genetic study of bedbugs, the irritating pests that have enjoyed a world-wide resurgence in recent years, indicates they are quickly evolving to withstand the pesticides used to combat them.
The new findings from entomologists at Ohio State University, reported online in PLoS One, show that bedbugs may have boosted their natural defenses by generating higher levels of enzymes that can cleanse them of poisons.
Recent studies show that bedbugs around the world have developed a resistance to the chemicals used to control them. Scientists are now studying the molecular biology of these pests to develop more lasting control measures.
The findings add to a growing body of evidence from molecular-biology studies that bedbugs have recently evolved at least three improved biochemical defenses against common pesticides. Bedbugs today appear to have nerve cells better able to with stand the chemical effects, higher levels of enzymes that detoxify the lethal substances, and thicker shells that can block insecticides.
The ability of bedbugs to survive once-lethal doses of insecticides is the newest evidence that efforts to eradicate pests that plague humankind may make some of them stronger. It is a key reason for the spread of bedbugs in the past decade.
Well-adapted to homes, hotels and dormitories, these tiny blood-sucking parasites usually hide in mattresses, bed frames and furniture upholstery. Bedbugs feed every five to 10 days, leaving painful welts on the skin and sometimes triggering allergic reactions.
Laboratory tests show today's bedbugs can survive pesticide levels a thousand times greater than the lethal dose of a decade or so ago. There is a phenomenal level of resistance.
Since the pesticide DDT was banned starting about 40 years ago, people usually have treated bedbug infestations with pesticides based on a family of compounds called pyrethroids, usually deltamethrin or lambda-cyhalothrin, synthetic versions of chemicals found in chrysanthemum blossoms.
There are few chemical alternatives, because the residential market for insecticides is relatively small, and the cost of development, safety tests and regulatory approval is relatively high, several researchers said. Since the bugs don't transmit any serious infectious diseases, there also is little medical funding to research new control measures.
Repeated applications of the same insecticides act as a form of natural selection for bedbugs. Any surviving insects pass on traits to their offspring and to succeeding generations.
Read the full story and Find Out Why Bedbugs Now Harder to Kill
Inspection and Detection
Correct diagnosis of a bed bug problem is important. Older established infestations are fairly easy to detect; but in the early stages, they can be much more subtle. As people become more aware of this pest, all manner of welts and itches may be attributed to bed bugs though they are often caused by other factors. Because it is hard to diagnose a bed bug bite by merely examining the patient, the pest management industry must play a key role in confirming infestations.
Bed Bugs Control Treatments MN
Eliminating bed bugs can be expensive and requires a pest control strategy known as an Integrated Pest Management Plan. A treatment can take weeks to several months. Several treatments may be necessary for complete success.
For Bed Bug Removal Guarantee, call a bed bug experienced Pest Management Professional IMMEDIATELY to exterminate all the pests, ensuring they will not return! Do not try and treat this problem yourself.
