Growing up, I distinctly remember the deep and thorough excitement I felt each year as the end of the school year approached. Summers were never really all that big a deal for me - no major vacations or plans - but I was always excited nonetheless. In retrospect, I think I was excited less about what the summer was than about what it wasn't - that is, it wasn't a time for school. No more alarms, buses, classes, homework, tests, dress codes, or school books. Summer was a time to be free, to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it, when I had the time and energy to pursue my own passions. School, on the other hand, was all about putting my own wants and needs aside so I could conform to what my education system demanded of me. Sometimes I did, and sometimes I made a choice that worked better for my heart.
A few weeks ago, I had a friend on Facebook who shared a photo of his son, who is perhaps in sixth grade. The son had a new mohawk hairstyle, and the dad's caption indicated that the school allowed his son to wear a mohawk for the last few days of school because he had achieved good grades. Predictably, all of the comments posted to the photo were supportive of the boy's achievement, but I could not help but be sad. In my mind, one of two scenarios were possible here: either the boy had always wanted a mohawk but was prevented by the school from having one because it would be "disruptive" or non-conformist, or he never really wanted one at all but needed some way of expressing his freedom from a system that has the power to "allow" someone to make a personal choice about their hairstyle. In fact, this concept of personal choice being a right of all students has taken a back seat in many American classrooms.
There are state and federal curriculum requirements; there are only so many teachers and hours in the day; there are a variety of student abilities and learning styles to attempt to account for. Any system that attempts to offer the same, or even similar solutions for all of this complexity is already behind the 8-ball.
In order to do this with any degree of effectiveness, these proponents will tell you, there needs to be some measure of control.
And where there is control in an effort to achieve a specific result for the most amount of people, there will always be conformity.
And where there is conformity, there will be a requisite subjugation of personal preference and freedom.
And where personal freedom is subjugated, learning is inhibited. In fact, it doesn't become learning at all; it becomes indoctrination. The students have no choice in what they learn, when they learn it, how they are taught it, or by whom. That, my friends, is indoctrination.
Think for a second about all the controls that public schools set up so that they can cycle through the maximum number of students, but which actually inhibit learning. Here are just a few.
They must come to school and leave school at the same time as everyone else, regardless of whether or not they learn better by at different times of the day. Personally, I learn better after I've been awake for a few hours; when school starts at 7:30am, that's nearly impossible.
They have to learn seven separate subjects during the day. Simply put, kids and adults do not learn this way. If you subscribe to the theory (universally accepted, by the way, although apparently not by public school districts) that 90% of the knowledge we use is acquired through practice and only 10% through study, this model makes no sense whatsoever. The whole point of education is to impart knowledge which can be applied to some practical use; therefore, learning something the way you might use it is a good first step. We do not, in the main, learn well when specific parameters ("this is science time, this is math time") are erected around that learning. As unschoolers, our kids often learn about more than seven subjects a day, but generally the subjects are woven together intricately just like they are in life.
They must attend each class is for an equal amount of time, with specific starts and ends. To see how unnatural this is, conduct a simple experiment at home. At 8:00am, tell your kids to start learning. At 8:45, tell them to stop. Of course that would not work; kids who are open to learn on their own schedules can neither start nor stop on command. Now, I know that plenty of learning, even about a specific subject, can be done outside of the classroom; in other words, just because class is over at 8:45 doesn't mean that learning needs to stop then. And I would even agree with that - if the students did not have to rush off to a separate, non-integrated subject and learn THAT one five minutes later, followed by another and another. When do they actually get to apply what they have learned, to practice it and make it their own?
They have to do homework. At its most benign, homework is given to students so that they can practice applying whatever concepts they were introduced to during the day. Again, this may work for some kids, but the majority of people require more teacher-student interaction time in the application stage of learning rather than in the introduction stage. Don't believe me? Let's say you were learning how to drive a car, and I sat with you for 50 minutes during the day and lectured you about the driver's manual, and then told you to go home that night and drive 100 miles and then come back with questions the next day. Would that work? Of course not; you need the instructor, someone with practical experience, sitting next to you while you apply what you have learned, because that's when the curiosity is piqued and when the questions are raised, not during the introduction stage. In short, the application s where the learning occurs; and that's where we leave the students to their own devices. If they're lucky, they have parents who want to help and are capable of doing so.
There are many other examples of how schools require students to conform in order to preserve order, but to the detriment of learning. Dress and hairstyles are certainly an easy one to pick on, because they are obvious and visible examples of individual expression that some school districts deem as being dangerous to the order "required" to maintain a good learning environment. But in their attempt to maintain an environment of order, they are disregarding personal expression, learning styles and preferences, interwoven subjects, interests, passions, and the application of knowledge. And what do school districts get in return from the majority of parents? Acceptance, or at least apathetic acquiescence. And they may get acceptance from the students as well, because the punishment for non-conformance can be severe.
But oh, how short-sighted. By ensuring conformity and disregarding choice and preference, they are inhibiting learning and the pursuit of passions. Sure, kids will conform just to get by. And then they will become adults who will either strongly rebel as they break the shackles of their education system, or, sadly, remain conformists and grow in sheeple because the very concept of non-conformity has become unthinkable to them. And conformists make good bureaucrats, but they do not catalyze change. I sometimes wonder how many more generations like this our culture can tolerate.
As I was writing this, the song Subdivisions by Rush came to mind:
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone. . .
Conform or be cast out
Those are the obvious options. In a future post, I'll write about some others.

The Peacock Poetry Prize returns to Brighton Festival 2019 to inspire and encourage young people across Sussex to explore the written word from a creative point of view. This year's competition theme is 'Journeys', chosen by Brighton Festival Guest Director Rokia Traoré.
The competition is open to young residents of Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex aged between 8 and19 years. Each budding writer can enter up to three poems with a maximum length of 20 lines, with participants divided into three age groups: 8-11, 12-15 and 15-19 years.
Finalists will be invited to a tea party and prize giving with friends and family at Brighton Dome on Thu 23 May at 5pm when the winners of each age category will be announced.
Pippa Smith, Brighton Festival's Children and Family Producer said: "The Peacock Poetry Prize offers a great opportunity for young people to have their writing appraised and appreciated by our panel of judges. The theme of journeys can be literal or abstract, whether it's about a favourite stroll or the distance between you and your dreams, we want to walk alongside these young poets through every step of their creative imagination."
Rokia Traoré, Brighton Festival 2019 Guest Director, commented: "I want my journey to be a shared experience and feel responsible to share that journey with young people. Brighton Festival allows its audience to travel and learn about the rest of the world through the stories and journeys of its guests without leaving Brighton, which is extended to young people by the Peacock Poetry Prize."
William Baldwin, Principal of Brighton Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College added:"We're proud to be sponsoring the Peacock Poetry Prize because it allows the work of young people to be recognised and appreciated within the Festival. Poetry permits both its author and audience to go on a journey together, expressing their creativity and imagination. As poetry is such a universal vehicle of human expression it's vital that we continue to nurture a love for it in the younger generation."
Entrants should send their poems, along with their name and age to: firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday 12 April 2019.

Letters to the editor: Endorsement for Alex Bergstein
Endorsement for
Alex Bergstein
To the editor:
I strongly endorse Democrat Alex Bergstein running for state Senate in District 36 in the 2018 election. Alex is a mother, attorney, passionate community leader and a strong advocate for democratic values in Connecticut. Her advanced academic record is outstanding: Yale University, Ph.D. candidate, environmental studies; Yale University, master's, environmental studies; and University of Chicago Law School, JD.
Alex believes that for too long we were either complacent about our democracy or actively fighting for one team or the other. We are now in partisan gridlock, with little accomplished by our past efforts. National politics are a mess and so is Connecticut. But we can change this! If we stop focusing on labels such as Republican, Democrat, etc. and commit to solving problems with constructive bipartisan dialogue we can achieve the secure and sustainable future we all want.
Alex states that her mission is to break through partisanship and focus on facts and solutions. After meeting thousands of voters in the 36th district, she believes you also share this mission. Now, she wants your voices heard!
Alex's first priority will be addressing Connecticut's $36 billion unfunded pension liability. Alex proposes restructuring to "shared risk" pensions, where Connecticut and state employees both share the responsibility.
Her second priority is mass transportation and infrastructure. The Business Council of Fairfield County states that the creation of a Connecticut High Speed Commuter Rail Transportation System linking Hartford to New Haven to Stamford to New York City in 30-minute travel time increments will become the backbone of Connecticut's economy.
Please vote for Alex Bergstein for state senator on Nov. 6.
New Canaan
We need Toni now more than ever
To the editor:
I have known Sen. Toni Boucher for many years. We first met at the National Conference on Aging in Washington, D.C., when I was Comptroller General of the United States. I have come to know Toni much better since moving to Connecticut over eight years ago.
Toni is a person of boundless energy and considerable ability. She is fully committed to do what it takes to help our next governor turn around Connecticut and create a better future for all of us in the Constitution State. We need Toni now more than ever. Please vote to re-elect Sen. Toni Boucher.
Former U.S. Comptroller General

"Simple ingredients prepared in a simple way
– that's the best way to take your everyday cooking to a higher level."
~ José Andrés
Simplicity in the Kitchen
I love good food, but I don't like to spend hours preparing it. In fact, when I get a new cookbook, I often fantasize about visiting the author because that's the only way I'll eat most of the recipes. They simply require too much time and energy. So when Jaime Hartman got the idea for this e-cookbook, I was all in! Every recipe is a full meal that can be made in 30 minutes or less. How awesome is that? Whether you're new to the paleo autoimmune protocol or an AIP veteran, you just got a new best friend in your kitchen.
Cookbook Details
- 120 Complete 30-Minute Meals. You'll find one-pot meals, sheet-pan dinners, and also quick main courses and side dishes that are easily cooked simultaneously.
- That's 30 Minutes Start to Finish. It includes both preparation and cooking time.
- 100% AIP. Every recipe in this e-cookbook meets the restrictions of the elimination phase of the paleo autoimmune protocol.
- It's an PDF E-Cookbook: That means it's available to purchase worldwide. It's also formatted on 8-1/2×11 paper, so it's easy to print, if you prefer a hardcopy.
- $1500 Giveaway: To celebrate the launch of this book, we're giving away over $1500 in prizes! Just scroll to the bottom of the sales page, and enter before 8/13/18.
- Recipes by 41 Paleo AIP bloggers and healthcare practitioners. That means that every recipe was created by an expert in the protocol, many of whom have used the AIP to improve their own health. You'll find a huge variety of recipes, much greater than any one person could create on their own. There are famous names among the contributors (Sarah Ballantyne, Mickey Trescott & Angie Alt), but you'll also find inspiration from newer members of the community. It's wonderful how this movement has grown!
- I am one of the contributors, too. I donated two of my favorite recipes to this book, and I'm previewing one of them for you below.
- The 4th in a series of collaborative cookbooks. I started this tradition by editing the first two AIP community cookbooks: 85 Amazing AIP Breakfasts and The Paleo AIP Instant Pot Cookbook. Both are bestsellers! Then, Jaime Hartman from Gutsy By Nature took the torch. Last year, she edited and released: Freezer Cooking for the Paleo AIP and today: 30 Minute Meals for the Paleo AIP.
- Here's a sampling of recipe titles to get your taste buds watering: Apple Cinnamon Chicken over Smashed Sweet Potatoes, Quick Shepherd's Pie, Skirt Steak Fajita Bowls, Chicken Tikka Masala & Cauliflower Pilaf, Sushi Salad, Caramelized Onion Tart with Prosciutto & Asparagus, Keep it Simple Salmon Spinach Skillet, and 113 more! Here's a complete recipe list. And remember, every single one of these meals can be made in 30 minutes or less.

Re: Premier Partnerwildiris Jan 7, 2020 11:48 AM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Yes, Vrbo changed this several months ago. Premier Partners are no longer provided with the traveler's phone number and email until after a booking is made. I think that people who were made Premier Partners when the program was first introduced are "grandfathered" and still receive this information before a booking is made.
Re: Premier Partnerktorisbeachrentals Jan 7, 2020 11:52 AM (in response to wildiris)
Thanks for the reply!
Most of mine are from when they initially introduced the program and none got grandfathered in. Bummer!
Re: Premier Partnerha-moderator-amanda Jan 7, 2020 12:00 PM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Hi ktorisbeachrentals, it depends when the invitation to join the Premier Partner Program was sent because this feature is not available for owners that were invited during or since February of 2019. If you were already part of the program prior to the change implemented in February then the traveler's information should be available. If this is not the case, please contact Premier Partner Support so they can look into the issue.
Re: Premier Partnerktorisbeachrentals Jan 7, 2020 12:09 PM (in response to ha-moderator-amanda)
So back in November I reached out. They said only people that were PP prior to Feb 2019 would have the info. I told them that most of my listings were prior to then. So he wrote this back.
I hope this email finds you well today. I went through each listing and found most of your premier partner listings were active before 2/1/19. I apologize for my last email saying they weren't. I'm reaching out to your account manager for some information. I will then be sending this case over to our tech support for assistance. I will send you an email as soon as I receive an update from them.
Then after 3 weeks of not hearing back, I reached out again and this is the response I received.
Hello Marcy,
I appreciate your patience while we looked into why you're not receiving the guest's contact information before booking. I had escalated the case to our tech support team to which they responded that this feature has been removed from the Premier Partner program as of 2/1/19. I'm afraid we will no longer be displaying the travelers contact information before booking.
So at this point I do not know what to think. That is why I was asking.
Re: Premier Partnerha-moderator-amanda Jan 7, 2020 12:41 PM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Thank you for sharing this. I'm reaching out for clarification at this time.
Re: Premier Partnerscottr Jan 7, 2020 12:16 PM (in response to ha-moderator-amanda)
Getting contact info was the only reason to accept the PP invite. Is there currently any advantage to being a PP?
Re: Premier Partnergreen_mango Jan 7, 2020 3:51 PM (in response to scottr)
I think an advantage is in a larger market where there are hundreds of rentals a guest can filter by PP and narrow down the list a bit. Of course, it's an illusion as many properties don't deserve PP status but are simply included by default when managed by. a large PM (I'm talking about you, Vacasa & Evolve!). Some of the lowest rated listings in my area are Premier Partners. I am not PP, but I have all 5 star reviews.
Re: Premier Partnerbonesxxx Jan 7, 2020 1:03 PM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Re: Premier Partnertwobitrentals Jan 8, 2020 8:57 AM (in response to bonesxxx)
This says member since 2019?? So, do some get the info and others not so much? This would be good to find out And why would they eliminate the one thing that everyone worked towards PP to obtain?
Re: Premier Partnerbonesxxx Jan 8, 2020 9:05 AM (in response to twobitrentals)
That 'member since' line refers to the traveller.
I think what people are suggesting here (and the mods are looking into) is what triggers the owner level access to traveller information. It may have something to do with February of 2019 and whether you were a PP on that day or not. If so, you may have been grandfathered.
Vrbo is like Wheel of Fortune where you wake up each morning and spin the wheel... you just never know what benefits or penalties await you for that day. But fear not, you will get to spin the wheel again tomorrow and see a whole new set of benefits and penalties. Spin away comrade
Re: Premier Partnerohst8er Jan 7, 2020 1:37 PM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Interesting. Year 6 here, and I've never lost contact info, nor the ability to edit a reservation.
Re: Premier Partnerktorisbeachrentals Jan 7, 2020 1:44 PM (in response to ohst8er)
I might be the "unlucky" one
Re: Premier Partnerwildiris Jan 7, 2020 3:13 PM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
I don't think that you're the "unlucky" one. I just think that you either became a Premier Partner after February 2019 OR you initially were made a Premier Partner before February 2019 but lost Premier Partner status in one quarter and were not aware of it and when you again qualified for Premier Partner status it was after February 2019. (This is just a hunch - I have no "hard" information to support my hypothesis.)
I was a Premier Partner for one or two quarters prior to February 2019 and received a traveler's email and phone number before booking. I lost Premier Partner status because I didn't have enough bookings through Vrbo. Vrbo never notified me that I was no longer a Premier Partner. In fact, they continued to send me Premier Partner emails. I discovered that I was no longer a Premier Partner when I noticed the designation was no longer on my listing. I suspect that if I ever again qualify for Premier Partner status that I will not be "grandfathered" and will not receive the traveler's email and phone number.
Re: Premier Partnertwobitrentals Jan 8, 2020 9:11 AM (in response to ktorisbeachrentals)
Just to add....Premier partners used to require certain criteria. I know mine did....such as so many reviews.....yet I see a premier partner in my area with ONE, yes 1 review. How is that possible?
Re: Premier Partnerwildiris Jan 8, 2020 9:22 AM (in response to twobitrentals)
Is that listing in your neighborhood managed by a property manager? The Premier Partner criteria are much more lax for property managers.
Re: Premier Partnertwobitrentals Jan 8, 2020 10:11 AM (in response to wildiris)
I Thought that at one point they said that they were going to change that and level the playing field based on each individual property???? ARGH!
Re: Premier Partnerwildiris Jan 8, 2020 11:02 AM (in response to twobitrentals)
They did and implemented the same standards for individual owners and property managers for about two months. Unfortunately, Vrbo reneged and went back to the lesser standards for property managers.
Re: Premier Partnergreen_mango Jan 8, 2020 11:10 AM (in response to twobitrentals)
They said that a long time back - when Erinn was still a moderator and she said VRBO was slowly purging the system - but I think VRBO changed their minds as there are still plenty of Vacasa & Evolve properties with low ratings in my area flying the Premier Partner badge.
Re: Premier Partnertwobitrentals Jan 8, 2020 12:39 PM (in response to green_mango)
The whole concept of Premier Partner is compromised when they have different standards for different listings. As a guest, I would hope that premier partner would extend not to just the entity that managed or owned the properties they listed, but also to every specific property. If they want to extend different standards, they should have a section for owner managed properties and then one for property manager managed properties. At least if there is a Premier Partner property in the "property managed section" that has bad reviews, etc. it only give them a bad name in that selection and not everyone with the designation.
Re: Premier Partnerbonesxxx Jan 8, 2020 1:47 PM (in response to twobitrentals)
Exactly this. To extend the designation broadly to all management companies (ar any other unearned class or group) diminishes the value of the designation itself. One only has to do a quick search of Premier Partner listings to find dozens with no reviews or bad reviews. It's idiotic that the platform creates a 'badge' and then proceeds to make it worthless (or worth less).
The management companies (if it's important to them) can get their own badge, such as "Professionally Managed". And PP badges earned on the merits of each listing performance only.
Re: Premier Partnerhmmmm Jan 8, 2020 2:29 PM (in response to twobitrentals)
Thank you, mine was taken with out warning, several years ago, with a false accusation, that, "wording" looked compromising.
I have been and still are a very honorable owner/manager. I hold high standards for myself and my rentals.
I was hurt at first, but moved on. The problem is I have lost rentals because of not having the contact. Many times in the past I was
able to bring a vacationer to book may properties by reaching to them out personally.
In my opinion, parts of HA family of business are being run by very inexperienced employees who do not really have the years of experience to understand the
intricate details of running this kind of a platform.

To say that Castilian cuisine is one of the recent greatest influences in local gastronomy is an understatement.
There always seems to be a constant penchant for the savory enticing flavors of Spanish fare. From tasty paella to palatable gambas, there's just no getting away from the luring richness of regional flavors Iberian cookery has to offer.
What better way to satiate this drooling over than to head on to the cuisine haven that is El Español. It boasts of authentic Spanish gourmet and a wide range of delectable bounty of spices that originate from no less than the different locales of mainland Spain. With Chef Pedro taking the lead, you can be sure you're plumped for a treat.
Chef Pedro attributes his culinary flair to his Cuban roots, who he says have a knack for cooking just as Filipinos do. This innate clever joined up traveling with entrée art that made him the fine hash slinger he is today. This is plausibly why since its prelude in June of 2016, El Español has been at its prime and has cemented its place as one of the most sought-after Spanish dish-serving joints.
The restaurant is a merging of traditional and modern Spanish mileu. He believes that bringing together the festive Castilian adornment and contemporary interiors needs to find a balance, a little too much of the murals and details might be disquieting. Perhaps this is why the art piece selections were curated meticulously. Walls are graced with paintings by local Filipino artists rendering their depictions of Spanish culture.
Guests get to revel their eyes with visual of the Corrida de Toros, more popularly known as Bullfighting, a traditional spectacle in Spain. Adding to the panoramic outline is the still life of the Fandango, a renown buoyant dance of the Castilians.
The restaurant features an open kitchen that gives the guests a peek of the intriguing visual of kitchen action with chef taking the center stage as he hustles and work up their appetite. This must be the perfect way to see how Chef Pedro takes accurate and diligent measures to clinch quality serving in first-rate platings and presentations.
Feast like a Spanish king with these scrumptious eats:
Adding to these displays of the culinarian's standards short of perfection, he also uses no less than special organic ingredients like Black Lava Salt and own-grown chillies and garnish and employs a no-reheat policy in the cook room.
Check out both the traditional and newly-tweaked renditions of Spanish cuisine your taste buds have been hankering for. With all these, El Español is slated to conquer your stomach and the local dining scene.

Future US Navy destroyer 'John Finn' completes first set of sea trials
The future U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS John Finn (DDG 113) completed initial builder's sea trials on August 30 following three days at sea.
The Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) ship, built at HII's Ingalls Shipbuilding division, spent three days in the Gulf of Mexico testing the ship's main propulsion system and other ship systems.
DDG 113 is planned to return to sea later next month for a second round of sea trials prior to a third underway period with members of the U.S. Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey.
During this underway period, many of the ship's systems were tested to demonstrate that they are installed properly and are operational. John Finn successfully conducted a full power run and demonstrated key communication, damage control, and navigation systems as well as various hull, mechanical and electrical, and propulsion applications.
The ship is 509 feet in length, has a waterline beam of 59 feet, and a navigational draft of 31 feet. According to the Navy, four gas turbine engines will power the ship to speeds in excess of 30 knots.
"The DDG 51 program has been the backbone of our shipyard for nearly three decades," said Ingalls Shipbuilding president Brian Cuccias. "Getting DDG 113 underway is a significant milestone in this program, and we are looking forward to continuing our legacy of building these quality, complex ships for our U.S. Navy customer."
Ingalls has delivered 28 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to the U.S. Navy. Other destroyers currently under construction at Ingalls include Ralph Johnson (DDG 114), Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) and Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121). Construction on Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123) is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2017.

Had an accident in public? Who should pay?There are everyday risks all of us live with when out and about. Of course, the chances of us coming a cropper are low enough for us not to worry, but when misfortune strikes - whether it's a fall on the station steps, having hot coffee spilled on you or getting hit by a car - it's essential to know your rights, especially with regard to compensation.
Accidents can be sudden and life-changing, leading to time out of work, medical bills, physical ailments and even psychological distress. Do you have to foot the bill? Read on to find out.
Fault is the major consideration when considering a compensation claim. If you are in a car accident, under English law, you have to prove the other driver was at fault to successfully pursue compensation. To be at fault is, essentially, to cause an accident by acting in a manner that falls short of standard behaviour or regulation. So, for example, a driver who contravenes the Highway Code or electrician who fails to complete work to a suitable standard can be sued for compensation if they hit you at a roundabout or you get electrocuted when turning on a light.
If you are involved in an accident, it is often better if you are claiming from a business. They will almost certainly have insurance policies in place specifically to protect them in the event of accidents on their premises and in public.
While not compulsory, most businesses have public liability insurance to avoid having to make possibly ruinous pay outs to people who suffer injury or loss because of them. So whether you slip because a restaurant floor is wet or you are hurt by debris falling from a building site, you should be confident of getting compensated by a business.
But what if it isn't anyone else's fault?
Again, if you are in a car accident, or injured on holiday, you should be covered by your insurance policy though there are exceptions, and you should always check the wording. Look out especially for third party motor insurance, which only covers other people.
Making a claim
If you have insurance that covers you against an accident or the effects of it, it is usually the case that your insurer will pursue compensation on your behalf. If you aren't covered then you should speak to a reputable solicitors firm that deal with accidents and personal injury.
Steps to take
Witnesses and evidence
It can be hard to stay alert after an accident, so remembering the right things to do in the heat of the moment is tricky. That's why, if nothing else, you should get your phone out, take down any witness' numbers and take photos. The more the merrier.
The other party
The key details you need are those of the other party involved. For car accidents this is the driver, their driver's license, their registration number, their insurance details and, if applicable, their employer's name. In other instances it's people's names and addresses, while with businesses get the manager's name and the head office address.
If it's clearly the other party's fault, strike while the iron is hot. If you can, write down a brief statement and get them to sign it. In this world of smartphones, it's possible to get them to email you something similar or at least text it. This can be critical if they try to get out of things later on.
You might not feel like you're affected by the accident but you should get a check-up. Things like whiplash can take some time to come one, while it can be days before you realise the full extent of your injuries.
Speak to experts
If you are serious about compensation then speak to people that know. Your insurer is a good place to start, while your doctor might also be able to help. If you need to go through legal channels then make sure the solicitors you speak to are reputable. Check the internet for reviews. Once you're speaking to the right people, they should give you a full run-down of what's what.

As an inbound marketing strategy, SEO has generated one of the best return on investments (ROI) for any company. Most often, your customers are already looking for a business like yours; you only need to convince them that they should be buying from you.
With SEO and using the right tools like Google Analytics, you also gain access to valuable insights that will provide you with the means to make informed decisions and develop even more effective strategies. The data will give you a clearer perspective on how your customers are behaving, allowing you to execute your plans with near surgical precision.

The counterculture holiday may not appear on any official calendar, but it's widely popular nonetheless.
Its origins can be traced to the 1970s in Northern California, where pot smokers began using the term "420" — the police code for Marijuana Smoking in Progress — as a reference to toking up.
For those planning to observe 4/20, here's a list of funny and inspirational quotes about marijuana from various artists, activists, politicians and business moguls:

The UK manufacturing sector saw a small pickup in activity in November, but optimism about the future fell to new lows as Brexit uncertainties weighed. The IHS Markit CIPS purchasing managers' index for November was 53.1, up from October's two-year low of 51.1. The domestic market was the main source of new business, with output and new orders rising across the board in the UK.
However, the level of new export business dropped for the second month in a row, with respondents blaming Brexit for the poor showing. The PMI data chimed with the fourth quarter EEF/BDO Manufacturing Outlook Survey, also released on Monday, which showed that the outlook for manufacturers was deteriorating. It said that while the balance for output and orders, at was positive, there had been a deterioration in the strength of the readings throughout the year.
Consumer spending grew at its slowest pace in more than a year in November, as Black Friday sales failed to offset a lack of confidence among consumers as the prospect of Brexit looms. Retail spending was up 0.5 percent in November compared with the same month last year, down from a rise of 1.3 percent in October, according to data from the British Retail Consortium (BRC). "Weak consumer demand and falling confidence mean that retailers are in for a nerve-wracking run up to Christmas," BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said.
In a separate survey, Barclaycard said its measure of consumer spending rose by 3.3 percent last month, the slowest growth since March. On the upside, UK construction activity strengthened last month, despite worries about Brexit undermining demand. The IHS Markit/CIPS UK construction purchasing managers' index rose to 53.4 in November from 53.2 in October, ahead of expectations. The construction sector had a tough time at the beginning of the year as bad weather put many projects on hold, but as the weather has improved, so builders have made up for lost time. In the third quarter, construction output grew by 2.1 per cent compared with the previous period.
However, growth in the key UK services sector slowed to its weakest level for more than two years in November, as concerns over Brexit weighed on the economy and dampened consumer spending.
The IHS Markit/CIPS UK Services PMI Business Activity Index came in at 50.4 last month, down from October's reading of 52.2 and the lowest since July 2016. A reading below 50 indicates a contraction. A number of respondents said Brexit had prompted clients to delay investment decision and there had been a slowdown in new business growth. Confidence for the year ahead showed the weakest degree of positive sentiment since July 2016.
The IHS Markit All Sector Output Index, a weighted average of the manufacturing, construction and services indices, printed at 51 in November, down from 52.2 in October and the slowest rate of expansion since July 2016.
UK house price inflation slowed to its lowest level since December 2012, according to data from Halifax released on Friday. The house price index rose by an annualised 0.3 percent in the three months to November, after a 1.5% increase in the three months to October. Economists had forecast 1% growth.

Last night, I went with the kids and my Panget. I'm really glad that my kids liked the baby back ribs and they were eating them fast! We tried Rack's holiday offering - the Honey Dijon Babys.
Focus on the meat and the flavor. I have more pictures below
I was honestly surprised that the kids liked the flavor since they're unfamiliar with honey dijon. They kept asking me for more! I willingly obliged as they are picky eaters, so you can just imagine how happy and excited I was watching them eat spoonfuls of the Honey Dijon Babys! I was honestly expecting the worst, that they won't like the flavor - but boy was I happily surprised that they liked it! Woohooo!
Catch Honey Dijon Babys for a limited time (until January 8, 2019) at a Racks branch nearest you!
Half Slab is of the Honey Dijon is P595 while the whole slab of Honey Dijon is P995
These are the other dishes that we ordered:
Everything was good!

Secure America's Future Economy
For smaller, more focused, less costly government.
Delaware Chatter
Reactions to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh (various)
Herewith a selective recap of News Journal news & editorial coverage from July 10 to date.
1. What happens if Mueller's probe goes to high court? Barbara McQuade (professor, U of Michigan Law School), 7/10//18.
Written before the nomination was announced, this column suggests that the Mueller probe may result in legal challenges "that may come before the Supreme Court in the near future." For example: Can a sitting president be charged in an indictment, or is impeachment the only avenue available? Must a sitting president honor a grand jury subpoena for his testimony? And does executive power make it "legally impossible for a president to obstruct justice?" Since it seems unlikely that a nominee would commit to recusal in advance, "what's a democracy to do?" Ideally, the nomination could be held up until the Mueller probe was completed. Or failing that, members of the Senate "must thoroughly study the nominee's views on executive privilege, executive power and the rule of law."
2. Don't vote on SCOTUS until after election, Karen Stanley (Bear), 7/10/18
– In another comment written before the nominee was announced, Ms. Stanley argues that "it's impossible to overstate the consequences of Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement from the Supreme Court – replacement will most likely serve for decades and make decisions with lasting consequences – fundamental rights of all Americans are at stake – nominee will be antithetical to women's rights as he/she must meet litmus test of being willing to overrule Roe v. Wade – Sen. Mitch McConnell will try to push the confirmation through quickly on a party line vote – having refused to act on the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland, the president and Sen. McConnell have no right to take action that would "change the balance of our nation's highest court for at least a generation just months before a national election that could change the course of our nation." Senator Carper is right, the nomination should not be confirmed "until we the people have a chance to be heard in November."
3. I clerked for Kavanaugh, he's a great judge and person, Caroline Van Zile, 7/12/18
– Ms. Van Zile also clerked for Justice Kennedy. She is a registered Democrat and says that she and Judge Kavanaugh didn't always agree on politics. However, she knew him as a jurist and a person, and has nothing but praise for him. Brilliant – independent – fair-minded – down to earth – boss – mentor – friend (he even officiated at her wedding). And she also notes that many of the people who will be opining on the judge's qualifications in coming days "have never met him." In sum, "Judge Kavanaugh is incredibly qualified to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court. *** Americans should be proud to have someone with his independence, integrity and character on the bench."
4. Roe v. Wade is about freedom. Don't let it be revoked, Tea Francesca Price (Pullham fellow for the Arizona Republic), 7/12/18
. - Justice Kennedy was a "swing vote," and while he "helped develop the undue-burden standard that allows states latitude in regulating abortion," he only "played in the gray area when it came to cases dealing with reproductive rights" and wasn't about to make any fundamental changes. Roe v. Wade may not be on the chopping block now, but "Kennedy's departure opens the door to revisit this contentious decisions and carve away at its legal protections for women." And let's not forget that in the final presidential debate of the 2016 campaign then-candidate Donald Trump "said he would appoint pro-life justices." Let's hope that this won't prove prophetic.
5. Trump's pick is also about healthcare, Dana Milbank, 7/12/18
– How ironic that the White House has announced that the "Sherpa" for getting the nominee confirmed will be former Republican Senator Jon Kyl, a big-time lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry who famously mocked the Affordable Care Act's requirement that health[care] insurance cover maternal health by saying "I don't need maternity care." Senate Democrats may not be able to block the nomination or delay confirmation, but here's their chance to "return attention to the healthcare fight before the mid-term elections." And Kavanaugh himself is a "polarizing figure in the healthcare debate, based – for example – on his dissent in a 2011 case in which others on his judicial panel upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.
6. SCOTUS fight harrowing for moderate Dems, Marc Thiessen, 7/13/18
– Judge Kavanaugh is a great nominee: impeccable credentials, strong intellect and sterling character. GOP senators should stay united and confirm him, in which case Sens. Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp and Joe Donnelly will be able to please their state electorates by voting in the affirmative (as they did for the Gorsuch nomination). Otherwise, however, the Democratic leadership (e.g., Senator Dick Durbin on "Meet the Press") seems quite prepared to "throw them under the bus." In effect, "Durbin just told these senators to commit political suicide."
7. Progressives take fight to Carper on Facebook, Scott Goss, 7/15/18
- Senator Carper has forthrightly stated his opposition to Judge Kavanaugh's nomination. He has called the nominee's record "extreme" and "deeply concerning." And on July 11, he expressed regrets for backing Kavanaugh's appellate court nomination 12 years ago. Healthcare – the environment – other issues. Not good enough for Carper's primary opponent, Kerri Harris, and the Working Families Party (NY-based coalition of unions and progressive activists) that plans to start running Facebook ads to drive in the point that Senator Carper has supposedly been weak on blocking Republican nominees to the Supreme Court. Among the punchlines: "Tom Carper caved on the court" and "Tom Carper created the Roberts Court." Although Senator Carper has never lost a Delaware election, he's 71 now and not necessarily "unstoppable."
Comment: The bottom line here is that the Supreme Court confirmation process has been politicized to an unfortunate degree.

They are imposing an 18 month supervision period regardless of this panel.
It is just show..
I can't believe Greaney and Hayes were there.(not saying they had no right)I wasn't sure if their still members of the carpenters union,because the sign said you had to be..
At leastembers could congregate and speak there mind...
They all should get fired.
We need the supervision for now!
We should have elections within the year ,and I think always be supervised by the international (not ruled,supervised)

My sources say that Stuart Grabois the Director of the Benefit Funds and Brain O'Dwyer, of O'Dwyer and Bernstein the council's legal firm have a connection.ReplyDelete
Sources say Grabois son Andrew is a junior partner in O'Dwyer and Bernstein.
Brian O'Dwyer's nephew, Dan Ryan, is an assistant Director to the Funds, soon to replace Stuart as Director.
Sources say this is just the tip of the iceberg, monies have been mismanaged and misspent.
Contact the Deptartment of Labor have them investigate this conflict of interest!!!

It was wonderful to see how seriously the Latino Club takes our current situation.I think it is great that you were able to use the hearings to ask the International to formally recognise your club.I can see why such a noble enterprise should receive monies from the district council.ReplyDelete
I thought it was understandable that you felt that the current situtation with our leadership was secondary to you being able to collect funds from the union to support your club.
I understand that with such an important issue as your club to deal with it you were not able to offer any testimony relating to our disgraced leadership.Please feel free to take advantage of any future catastrophies to further your own agenda.
What else are we here for?
Honestly, I am thrilled that you had an oppurtunity to promote yourselves while the rest of us were selfishly worried about the future of our union.
I sincerely hope that your club gets the recognition it deserves for this.
I would like to thank you for showing visiting members of the international how serious we are about cleaning up the district council and our locals.I was afraid they might think everyone in New York was just out to see what they could get for themselves.
where worried about the future and the future of the upcoming apprentices or atleast the apprentices that can hang in there if there is any work.we need to make this work out before there is no more union and all non union.still see a lot of none union jobs all over.no one cares if theres a blow up rat sitting outside they will still work.we need to rally together and make this work and keep the union brotherhood going,a very dissaponted memberReplyDelete
I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn't say anything on this site that you wouldn't, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.

2021 N. Burling St.
Chicago, IL 60614
In the early 1990s, the Oz Park Advisory Council and the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce commissioned artist John Kearney to create a Tin Man sculpture, installed in October 1995, the Cowardly Lion, installed in May 2001 and the7 ft./800 lb. cast bronze Scarecrow, installed June 2005. In Spring 2007 Dorothy & Toto joined their friends in the park.
Installed in 2001, the Cowardly Lion was the second of Oz Park's four sculptures. While Kearney was previously known for using chrome automobile bumpers to create his sculptures, the Cowardly Lion statue is cast in bronze. Not only has it become increasingly difficult to find chrome bumpers, but Kearney thought that bronze would be the best material to emulate a lion's furry coat.
In the 1960s, the Lincoln Park Conservation Association approached the City of Chicago in efforts to improve the community around Oz Park and the neighborhood was soon designated as the Lincoln Park Urban Renewal Area.
The urban renewal plan identified a 13 acre-site for a new park, and in 1974, the Chicago Park District acquired the land. In 1976, the park was officially named Oz Park in honor of Lyman Frank Baum (1856-1919), the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Baum settled in Chicago in 1891 several miles west of what is now the park. Having begun writing children's books at age 41, Baum wrote more than 60 books, including 14 Oz books, by the end of his life.
