Why all the white kitchen these days?
Quick summary (but you'll have to read the full article for all the details)
1.) White is a classic, reinterpreted again and again through the decades
2.) White kitchens are seen as "fixed architectural elements", like other architectural features in a home: paneling, trim, doors, stairs... This connects them to the other permanent elements in the home.
3.) White is considered a utilitarian color, and easy to project different aesthetics upon
4.) Traditional kitchen design has been redefined, and what was once considered a shaker style kitchen has been reinvented into what Susan calls "the butler's pantry look"
Susan's parting words:
"Kitchen design NOW is all about expressing yourself the way you want to, NOT to follow the pack. Although that said, there will always be trends. Watch out for trends, however, that's my advice, they can be quietly addicting. Maybe not the best way to invest in something that needs to last for, oh, a couple of decades or so. Do what speaks to you, be open to all possibilities, and look past the trends.and some fun, colorful alternatives way over on the other end of the spectrum...
...is this look, as I defined it, a trend? Absolutely! Therefore, is it something to run from? No, not this trend, not if it is linked to the architecture of the home. Yet, awareness is a good thing."

Lift Up Sarpy County's 100-Day Financial Stability Challenge Garners Great Success for Families
Lift Up Sarpy County, Inc., led an ambitious collaborative effort to develop solutions to improve financial stability for young adults and vulnerable families.
Lift Up Sarpy County, Inc., is delighted to announce the results of their 100-Day Challenge, an initiative designed to accelerate community- and state-level efforts to improve the financial stability for a group of families and young adults to ensure they have the best possible tools and opportunities to thrive.
Lift Up Sarpy County's 100-Day Challenge was a collaboration with the Rapid Results Institute (RRI) and was funded through a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation through its Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative (Jim Casey Initiative).
Lift Up Sarpy County was selected by the Jim Casey Initiative as one of two sites nationwide to embark on the intense, multi-stakeholder 100-Day Challenge to engage local partners to address the needs young adults and vulnerable families. During the challenge, Lift Up Sarpy County, in partnership with Nebraska Children and Families Foundation, worked to develop innovative ways to align public and private resources in Sarpy County to create new economic avenues for 51 families and young adults who are already accessing assistance through Community Response and Project Everlast.
The Challenge involved combining state and federal resources with local banking partners to ensure youth and families have access to predator-free asset purchase supports, low-interest loans and micro loans, and wealth development opportunities through the accumulation of valued assets.
In the 100 days of the challenge, the effort assisted 51 families experience an increase in financial stability. Of these families, it is estimated there are 84 children whose lives have been positively affected. Additionally, through new partnerships with Eastern Nebraska Community Action Partnership (ENCAP), Promise Ship, and Heartland Family Service, Sarpy County will gain its first housing access point for the homeless.
The Challenge garnered the following results:
• 22 families obtained higher paying jobs through the replication of the Douglas County Employment Access Point. ResCare Workforce Services and Heartland Workforce Solution partnered with 20 local employers, each offering positions paying an average wage of $11.25 per hour at 34 hours per week. These agencies referred two families to Legal Aid for help asserting their rights under Nebraska's new criminal record lookback law, which will take effect in July. In addition, 10 families are currently in the hiring process pending official offers of employment.
• Family Housing Advisory Services enrolled six young adults in Opportunity Passport and expanded the program to families served by Community Response through financial education and credit counseling. Eight families obtained more affordable housing, six families received loans to clear a debt or purchase an asset, and 12 more families are awaiting final approval for matches and loans.
• Pinnacle Bank established partnerships in eight Sarpy County ZIP codes and provided access to second-chance banking, low-interest debt consolidation loans, and other financial services in all 11 ZIP codes. Three families have opened accounts at one of Pinnacle's branch locations and it is expected that more families will become banked in the future.
• 26 new households were served by Legal Aid of Nebraska through walk-in clinics, one-on-one attorney consultations, and legal representation. Legal Aid was able to help families with wage garnishments, judgements, child support and custody orders, and they are currently in the process of helping three families file for bankruptcy.
In addition to the tremendous gains participants experienced, another great success was that the initiative fostered momentum and communication among financial professionals and social service organizations. The 100-Day Challenge mobilized community action and was able to establish bold and creative ways to build a system response to problems. But, the success does not end with 51 families. Efforts will continue to help more families and young adults in Sarpy County. The 100-Day Challenge laid the foundation for what is vital in establishing true stability for these individuals.
Partners in the 100 Day Challenge included
• Nebraska Children and Families Foundation and Bring Up Nebraska
• Rapid Results Institute
• Annie E. Casey Foundation
• Heartland Family Service
• ResCare
• Sarpy County Head Start
• Bellevue Public Schools
• Thanksgiving Church
• Family Housing Advisory Services
• Department of Health and Human Services
• Pinnacle Bank
• PromiseShip
• Youth Emergency Services (YES)
Our thanks to everyone who played a role in this effort!

Subjects: Regional processing on Nauru.
Joining me now is the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Thank you for your time. First of all your reaction to the piece that you've seen that we've presented from last week?
Well look, I think there'll be a mixed reaction. I think a lot of people will look at the amount of money that the Australian taxpayer has spent on island in terms of infrastructure, particularly around health and education, housing and people will say that the Australian Government has been very generous. Others will say the conditions aren't good enough, aren't up to Australian standards. So I think there'll be a mixed reaction.
My reaction is that – like I've always said – I want to get women and children, family units off Nauru as quickly as possible, but we need to do it in a way that doesn't restart boats and that remains our objective obviously.
I had multiple sources both from the United States and from Nauru that told me that this will be a very limited deal. The numbers weren't particularly firm, but this will mean only about 300, perhaps 400 individuals from family groups will be resettled in the United States.
Well that's not the case, but we haven't detailed numbers. And as I've said, the priority is women and children and family units and then single males beyond that. So that's the arrangement that we've entered into and we'll have people on island, as you pointed out in your package, from Sunday or Monday from the United States Department of Homeland Security. They'll conduct the checks which will be on top of the information that they've already received from officers within my Department, information about individuals and family units. And we also – where we've got families separated – we want to reunite those families so that they can go to the United States. So there's an initial grouping I guess if you like of somewhere in that order if not more that have been referred as part of an initial wave of consideration for the people that will arrive from the US. So that may be where there's some confusion, but it's not defined.
…but why aren't you putting a number on it then?
Because we don't want people smugglers to use it as propaganda, that somehow this might be available to you, or that it's …
…but in two or three months we might know anyway so they can use it as a propaganda tool then.
We'll allow them to use it then, but we have been very deliberate in Operation Sovereign Borders in releasing the information that we believe is in the public interest, but not in the people smugglers' interest. And we've been successful at stopping boats, we've been successful at closing 17 detention centres on the mainland, getting 2000 children out of detention and we now want to get family units off Nauru and people off Manus as well and that's what we're working towards. So we make these judgements and that's the judgement we've made.
Well in saying, that Nauru has family groups, Manus doesn't. So you would expect that this whole allocation, which a number you won't put on it, will be all from Nauru.
I'm just not going into what the number is, or whether it's defined, or whether it's limited by number. I'm not going into any of that detail because that's been a discussion with the United States. And it's not in our best interests to have that number out there because we've got people smugglers in Indonesia and elsewhere at the moment telling people to hop onto boats, if they have got children and if they're part of family units that they'll go to the United States.
That's the propaganda, the power of social media and the propaganda that they're putting out there. We're working very hard to counter that because we've been absolutely clear that this US deal will only apply to those people on Nauru and Manus now and it will not under any circumstance apply to a new arrival by boat and that's a message the people smugglers need to hear.
But Minister this United States deal to me would seem it's not the panacea that the Government has tried to present it as. This will not solve much of your problems when it comes to Nauru and Manus Island. It is a huge inroad, it should be applauded, but is it fair to say that this is why you keep continuing to look for a multi country deal?
Well we've never presented this as a panacea. We've said this is one part of the solution and the solution is pointless if you put yourself in a position where new arrivals are filling the vacancies. That is a complete nightmare scenario that we don't want to contemplate and that's why we are putting more assets at sea, it's why we're doing more work with policing and intelligence agencies within our region and it's why we're not releasing all of the detail. We've said that this should be a multi-lateral arrangement, we've entered into this arrangement with the United States and we've got discussions ongoing.
But as I said before, the reports about the 300 number are completely false. So I don't want people to conjure up in their mind that this is limited by that number. It's not, but I'm not going to go into the finer detail of it, but that is completely false.
But perhaps the United States is looking at…ok well I'll put this to you…Has the United States discussed a number with you that you're not willing to tell us?
Yes and I'm not going to detail that. And there are very good reasons for that, which no doubt in due course will be discussed and people can traverse it, they can comment. I'm not going to join the commentary.
My job is to get women and children off, to make sure that we can get people otherwise off Nauru that have arrived by boat, but most importantly to make sure that we don't get new boat arrivals. And that's why the legislation we've got before the Parliament now is incredibly important for Labor to support and sadly up until this point they haven't.
I just want to go back to one of your previous answers and I will get to that legislation that hasn't been put before the house this week. You said that your aim is also to reunite family groups: some family members that are in Australia and obviously some family members in Nauru. Are you just talking about family members who are in Australia, about 200 to 300, who are getting medical assistance? Or are you talking about the change in legislation where you saw extended families, depending on what boat they arrived on - I think it was July the …
Yeah, 2013. So can you just clarify that?
We'll have a look at each situation and we'll reunite families where that's possible. Now again I'm not going into the detail of that. I mean it may be for example that the father is on Manus Island or is in Australia or elsewhere, but we will look at those individual cases. We will take a compassionate approach to it, but we're not going to broadcast the way in which we're going to facilitate that. But we do want to see families reunited and I've been very clear about that.
What have you heard about potential protests, potential cases of self-harm once the US allocation is exhausted? I mean we heard the Nauruan Deputy Police Commissioner saying that that's something they're concerned about. Is this something that's come across your desk as well?
Well our officers obviously work very closely with the Nauruan Police Force and the contracted staff on island, so there's a lot of intelligence that's gathered about the mood and the response that's appropriate to that. So that's an aspect for the professionals to consider and if they need to provide more resources or if they need to counter some of that activity they will and that's been the case in the past.
But it's interesting to note that there hasn't been any of that behaviour since the announcement of the US deal. And we'll continue to work with people because we want to allow people to return back to their country of origin, or to the United States, or indeed to Cambodia.
We don't want people to listen to the advocates who are quite unhelpfully continuing to tell people not to go back to their country of origin or not to accept the US deal. And frankly those people might feel good about themselves, but they are prolonging the difficulty for those families on Nauru at the moment. I think it's quite unwarranted and I think it's quite unfair.
I do want to go to the advocates, because look I think you're right. In their own mind they think that they're doing the right thing. They don't believe in the Government's policy, they don't believe in Labor's support of the Government's policy to an extent. But are they – I mean, I've heard anecdotally, I spoke to an advocate on the phone who called a refugee who then put me onto the phone while I was there. Why do you think they're doing it, and how – I mean it seems that they really are getting through to some of these refugees. They're not going to work, they're not signing up for this US deal, they're very, very sceptical about it. So it's quite a big influence, and I don't think it's just a handful of advocates, it seems like there is a whole network. Is that right?
Well there is, absolutely and as you point out, I mean some, most, might be very well intentioned, it maybe they think that at some stage people will come to Australia. Under no circumstance will they. I've been very clear about that and if people are offered a deal….
….so advocates are telling these refugees, do you believe; hold tight the Australian Government will capitulate or there will be an election and there'll be a change of policy. Is that the message?
That's exactly the message and I've been very clear to advocates, I've been very clear to people on Nauru and Manus – and I'd say to the people on Nauru and Manus; look at what you've been told over the course of the last couple of years by these advocates, that you will come to Australia at some point, that the policy will change – none of that has come true. These people can't be trusted. They are emotionally involved in the issue, and that's fair enough, but I have been very clear, the Government has been consistent in saying that you will not come to Australia and that remains the case.
I will repeat today that we have entered into an arrangement with Nauru for a 20 year visa. People who are offered the US deal, are accepted under the US deal, but refuse to go to the United States, their support from the Australian Government will cease from that day. They will be subject to a 20 year visa on Nauru and they will not receive ongoing assistance from the Australian Government.
Now, people can listen to advocates that that won't happen, but I promise you that we will put that into place. Now, people might say that that's a tough message, but I want people to hear on Nauru very clearly that this is a deal, it's a one-off arrangement, if you don't accept the United States of America as an outcome, then frankly you're not genuine in the case that you're putting forward. If you've got family in Australia, we'll help repatriate those people with you to the United States or to another a third country that we enter into an arrangement with, but you are not coming to our country to settle.
I understand people are angry because they've paid in some cases well over $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 to come here. We'll provide them with financial support to help them re-establish their lives back in their country of origin – if that is appropriate – but under no circumstance are they coming to our country and this false hope that is being offered out by advocates at the moment, may well be well intentioned, but it is going to prolong the difficulty of those people that they seek to help and I want that to be made very clear. I want this to be a no surprises scenario because this is the outcome, a 20year visa with no ongoing assistance from the Australian Government these people are currently experiencing, and that should be a very clear reminder to people to consider the option to go to the United States.
We aren't talking about a third world country, we're talking about the opportunity to start a new life in the United States of America that many people around the world would take up in a heartbeat and that shows you the complexity of what we're dealing with.
Still, Muslim men told me that they don't want to go to Donald Trump's America. What do you make of that?
Well, stay on Nauru for 20 years. That's your option. So either go back to your country of origin, you accept the US deal or you're staying in Nauru for the next 20 years, if that's your choice. If you're being offered the United States, along with people of all religions that currently enjoy a free life – a very successful life in many cases in the United States – that is what's on offer to you. If you want to play political games, if you want to make statements and grandstand and run causes, well that's fine, but you'll be doing that from Nauru on a 20 year visa and the assistance ongoing as you're currently experiencing from the Australian Government will cease.
Does this make passing the lifetime ban on boat arrivals all the more urgent?
Yes, of course it does.
Why aren't you considering it this week?
Well, because we don't want the Bill voted down. I don't want that message going out into the region. People have heard the message very clearly that the Government's got this Bill before the Parliament and I believe that Labor will come around and support this Bill. Their position is untenable.
Now, Mr Shorten might be held to ransom by the 26 members who have come out against this Bill within his own Party, but I think public pressure will continue to mount – particularly if we see on water activity, if we see boats recommence – then I think the pressure will squarely fall onto Mr Shorten's shoulders and I think if he wants to act in the national interest, as opposed to his own political interest, then he'll support the legislation and he should do that. As soon as they say that they'll support it, we'll bring it back into the Parliament – we'll negotiate with the Independents in the interim.
What about those who told me that they are willing to consider another country, such as Malaysia? A number of them, both on camera and off camera have said that would be a place that they're willing to be resettled. Can you give them any joy, any hope there?
Well, I'm just not going to rule countries in and out as I've consistently said. We're in discussion with a number of countries and they're at different stages of discussion and negotiation and when we've got an announcement to make, we'll make that announcement at a time of our choosing, when it's appropriate to do so. But at the moment, people have got the option to go to the United States or to stay in Nauru, but not to come to Australia or indeed they can go to Cambodia, as others have done.
If I could go to the conditions in the camp, in particular, why are single men still living in tents? It's not all of them, I acknowledge, but it's about two dozen.
Well, some people have made a decision that they don't want to live in the community housing, some people have made a decision, in particular….
…the community housing is, as I understand it, full at the moment. There are more being built but…
There are options out in the community for a number people. Some people have decided, as you point out, that they want to stay in a group situation within that particular part of the island. So, that's a decision for them and we can deal through… go through each case, but for some of those people they've taken a decision that they want to be and remain in a group arrangement.
Are you saying they've chosen to live in a tent in what is a very sweaty area, 40 degrees with mouldy mattresses; is that what….
…as opposed to air conditioning or as opposed to some of the other modern accommodation that's provided to many people, in some cases I'm advised that is the case, yes.
Have you been given reasons why?
Well, there may be cultural reasons, they may be a group of friends that they don't want to be separated from, maybe other reasons that people are in relationships; I don't know and if people have got mould on their mattress or mould in the tent; they can clean it, like all Australians clean their own house or clean their own yard up or whatever the case might be, people can actually clean the mattress themselves if they're living in a humid environment and they find that the mattress has got mould. I mean we're not using taxpayer's money to send in daily cleaners, we're not running a hotel. We're providing safe haven for people until they can return back to their country of origin.
Don't forget that there are 65 million people in the world that would seek to come to a country like ours today and many of these people have decided that they want a better outcome, better life, better economic future for their families; fair enough, and I have a lot of sympathy for that, but we aren't providing a hotel here. We're providing an arrangement which will see people remain in a safe environment until they can return back to their country of origin or go to a third country.
Ok. A number of children suffering psychological trauma; I'm no psychologist, I'm no doctor, but you can see it, you can see the difference in some of these children, the ones that are going to the school and the ones who aren't. Whether it be a product of their situation now – some small children have been born into detention, one little girl in Darwin, now she's been moved to Nauru, others, similar situation. I do acknowledge that some of this could be post-traumatic stress disorder from the conditions in which they've come, from the source or their home country, but what is our responsibility? Are you as Minister satisfied that everything is being done and we're not just handing out antidepressants like lollies, as one advocate said – not that I saw that – but are we doing enough for the children, the vulnerable children, in particular?
Well Laura, none of us want to see any child suffer. I don't want to see any children drowning again. If you look at the backgrounds of some of these families, they've come from a very difficult part of the world. They've seen a lot that Australian children would never see, coming from a war torn country or from a persecuted environment, some of them have seen people drowning on boats or have seen terrible things in countries that they've hopped through before they've decided to hop on a boat to come to Australia, and they've been listening obviously to parents, to advocates, and to groups who tell them that they'll come to Australia and one day they'll settle in Australia. There has been a lot of false hope offered out to some of these children and it's very sad. I want to provide a resolution to these issues as quickly as possible, but we've just gone through some of the advice that's constantly messaged to people with children not to leave Nauru, only come to Australia and eventually you'll come here and we've been very clear that that's not the case.
Now, where children need medical attention or indeed anyone needs medical attention, as you would've seen, I mean …
…well, can I put it …
… we've put $26 million into the hospital, $11 million into the medical centre. There's a lot of medical support being provided on island.
Ok. One final question if I can humanise the issue a little bit. The Shirvani family. Adnan, his son Amir, his baby daughter who's 20 months old and his wife who is in Brisbane; the 13 year old doesn't get out of bed, he's on antidepressants, Adnan is on a cocktail of antidepressants and antipsychotics. This to me seemed like a particularly vulnerable family. Is that typical and what is the Government doing for them?
Well, the Government obviously works very compassionately with the NGOs, with the advocates where we're able to work those people, with officers in my own Department to asses each of the cases individually and the Department will take advice from the medical staff on individual cases. The arrangement is that if people can receive medical attention on island, they do. If people go to PNG to receive the medical attention because they can't get it on Nauru, that's the second option, and the third layer is that they'll come to Australia.
Now, there are many people, well over 300 who have come to Australia where, for example, there may be one person within the family unit that requires medical attention, but many of the family members otherwise will come to support that person. In many, many cases now, as soon as people land on Australian soil, we're injuncted so that they can't be sent back to Nauru and it creates for a very complex arrangement.
But we will look compassionately at each of the cases and the Department makes decisions as quickly as possible to provide the support required. That will be the case, without commenting on a particular individual, that will be the case in all of these matters and I think people would expect nothing less, nothing more.
It certainly is complex, but Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, you've been very generous with your time. Appreciate it here on The Latest.
Thanks Laura. Thank you.

Buckskin Leather Care
To be a pioneer is all about embracing change. As you leave civilization behind you, you can only carry so much. What is dispensable must be left behind, or it may get you killed. This does not mean that a pioneer is doomed to loneliness. Rather, the great pioneer understands that they are not only leaving their old neighbors behind them – they are exchanging them for new neighbors. The cotton fields back home, used to make the clothing we wear on our backs, are exchanged for the hunt, as wandering beasts take cotton's place on our backs. So it was for the pioneers of old – both Native Americans and European colonials, who found stability in the heart of an ever-changing, perilous frontier, as if they had wandered into the eye of a tornado. They adapted; they valued simple things as they had never valued them before, and became the agents of change in their own lives.
In short, they figured out they really, really liked buckskin leather. And why wouldn't they? Buckskin leather's gotta be one of the most timeless, recognizable materials in the biz. It's stylish, and got oodles of practical value as well. So it's no wonder it's still alive and kicking today, long after the days of the Great American Frontier have come and gone (we miss you!).
So what is buckskin leather? In short, buckskin is animal hide, prepared naturally, using a few different types of hides. The most common hides used to make buckskin were deer, buffalo, and elk. Way back when, these material were nearly ubiquitous. Sadly, they are not so much anymore.
Buckskin is a family of leather types known for their soft, pliable, and porous qualities. There are various synthetic varieties of this leather on the market today, usually made with sheepskin prepared from chromate tanning chemicals; these chrome-tanned leathers are afterwards dyed to imitate real buckskin. While this leather holds its own merits, it's not what we're really going to talk about today. Instead, natural buckskin is prepared using more natural, ancient techniques passed down through time.
How it's Made
You're all experts on leather tanning methods, right? It's pretty basic stuff most people know.
Just messing with you. If you'd like to read more on the topic, you check out our blog on Leather Tanning Methods here. In the meantime, I'll give you a Reader's Digest version on how buckskin leather is tanned and prepared.
Leather starts out pretty icky. It's got slimy flesh, blood, hair, and all sorts of stuff hanging all over it. To get all those things out, the leather undergos a variety of treatment steps, including scraping (where flesh and hair are removed from the animal's hide, either while it's wet or dry), dressing (preserving the hide from decay, using materials like egg yolks, an oil/soap/water solution, or even the animal's brains), and stretching (where the leather is stretched thin to ensure that the preservating dressing reaches every fiber inside the leather).
The most distinctive way buckskin leather is prepared happens after the leather is stretched. About this time, the leather should feel soft, supple, and dry. It's important that the leather possess these qualities, or else it could revert to a stiff, inflexible material. When the leather is ready, it is positioned to be saturated for an extended period of time in burning smoke, while great care is taken to prevent the leather from actually catching on fire (which is pretty easy). The smoke is usually funneled into an enclosed space containing the buckskin, to ensure maximum penetration through the leather. During this process, the buckskin leather changes from a plain, white color, to the familiar honey-brownish hue we know and love. Beyond aesthetic appeal, smoking also helps the buckskin deter insects, avoid becoming stiff when wetted, and makes it easier to wash. When the entire buckskin adopts this rich, honeyed hue, your newfangled leather is ready: buckskin leather is born.
How it's Maintained
Maintaining buckskin leather is fortunately a little bit easier than making it from scratch. To keep the leather preserved, it needs both protection from the elements and refreshing oils to stay supple and soft. That's where Leather Milk comes in (us!). Leather Milk carries a variety of leather care products, from cleaners to conditioners, designed to beautify and maintain your leather's health. Buckskin, while very durable, also needs a little TLC from time to time to get the most out of its lifespan. Due to buckskin's usually delicate, porous nature, it is wise to treat it with lighter leather conditioners, such as Leather Care Liniment. You can read more about this formula here. Because buckskin has a natural tendency to look after itself, you probably won't need to give it much attention. A light conditioning 3-4 times a year should more than suffice, depending upon the amount of use it gets and its exposure to the elements. It's best to use your best judgment. If the leather looks parched, condition it. If your leather looks dirty, clean it. Simple as that. Get to know your leather through experience. If you treat it well, it will treat you better.
Good ole Nostalgia
That's the basics on buckskin leather. It's a bold material, elegant and beautiful, and easy to maintain. In short, some of the best kind of leather you can ask for – and it shows. Buckskin leather is thriving today. The frontier days have been left far behind us, but our romantic minds have prevailed over time itself, treasuring the same kinds of things our ancestors treasured long before us. In this magic-like material, perhaps you could even say we have connection to them. If nothing else, it looks pretty snazzy.
Cheers, my leather aficionados!

TEHRAN, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will visit Singapore soon to sign documents on Iran's joining the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC), official IRNA news agency reported Saturday.
Ministers of foreign affairs of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will convene in Singapore on Monday for six days to discuss regional and trans-regional issues related to ASEAN and the TAC.
According to IRNA, there is a consensus among Southeast Asian countries to accept Iran as a party to the treaty.
This is an indication of the significance of interaction with Iran as an influential country in regional and international equations, it said.
Iran is an observer state in the TAC and part of the upcoming meeting will be about the full membership of the observer states including Iran.

Winter storm will bring ice, sleet
NORWALK -- With another winter storm bearing down, city officials urged residents to stay off the roads Wednesday.
"I'm waiting to declare a snow emergency until we get more information on the magnitude of the storm," Mayor Harry W. Rilling said Tuesday afternoon. But "I still encourage people to stay home (Wednesday) morning if the roads are icy, and certainly to park their cars in their driveways, or one of the city garages, to facilitate snow plowing."
During snowstorms, the city typically makes the Maritime and Yankee Doodle garages available, free of charge, for motorists who do not have off-street parking.
Rilling said he would decide early Wednesday morning whether to declare a snow emergency, which would require motorists to get their vehicles off posted snow emergency routes or risk towing.
For updates, visit www.norwalkct.org.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had Norwalk and surrounding areas under a Winter Storm Warning, from midnight Tuesday until 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
Snow was forecast to begin Tuesday night with a total accumulation of three to six inches before turning to freezing and sleet on Wednesday.
Ice accumulation of 0.1 to 0.3 inch is possible, according to the National Weather Service.
A number of meetings and events have been cancelled, including a Planning Commission public hearing on the city's unfolding capital budget which had been set for Wednesday evening.
The city's Department of Emergency Management, meanwhile, issued general winter weather safety tips and urged families to take precautions.
That means not driving unless it's necessary, giving city plow trucks time to clear roads, creating a disaster supplies kit (visit www.ready.gov), being careful with candles, inspecting fire places and wood stoves, using generators correctly, preventing frozen pipes, checking smoke alarms, and not overusing electrical outlets.

At graduation, students said goodbye to Assistant Principal Nick Tucci and Superintendent Belson, who offered some parting advice.
This year's Medford High School graduation was filled with heartfelt speeches sprinkled with political commentary – and a few extra goodbyes. Three-hundred forty-one students received their diplomas at the June 6 ceremony at the Tufts Gantcher Center.
It was the first graduation following the merger of Medford Vocational Technical High School with Medford High School. It was also the last graduation for outgoing Assistant Principal Nick Tucci, who has become the principal of the McGlynn Middle School, and Superintendent of Schools Roy Belson, who will retire on June 30 after having served as superintendent for 23 years.
In his final speech to the graduating class, Belson emphasized the importance of self-confidence and perseverance. He also told the graduates to remember to give back to their community, whatever that may mean to them.
"Your real success will be based upon your ability and commitment to improve the common good," Belson said. "You are not alone in the universe."
Medford High School Principal John Perella similarly spoke about the need for participation in civic life, especially today. He compared the year 2018 to 1968, as the United States was divided culturally and politically then as it is now.
"We still have a long way to go to restore balance in society, and ultimately, heal as a nation," Perella said.
But he urged graduating students to remain hopeful, and noted that this year's class has been particularly engaged in political issues. As he spoke, many students wore orange ribbons to signify their support for gun safety and gun control in response to mass shootings that took place this school year.
"You have the fortune and the privilege of entering a world that needs you," Perella said. "Having watched you the past four years, and especially this year, I know that you are ready to make your mark in this most important and beautiful social experiment that is our United States."
This year's faculty speaker, foreign language teacher Nelida Munoz-Lepore, advised students to embrace life's unexpected turns.
"Remember there is always a solution – it may not be the one you originally envisioned, but learning from your mistakes will often make you stronger," Munoz-Lepore said.
Sometimes, these unexpected turns and opportunities will force one to leave their comfort zone, she added, drawing from personal experiences and anecdotes from her own life.
"I would hope that if there is a message that I can convey that sustains throughout your lives, it is to realize that in spite of the ups and downs, being true to yourself is essential," she said.

I have read blogs for a long time. I read them for fun, and use them in my research. But I feel that for the first time, I have taken a big boy pill and traded in my myspace blog for a real blog. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it. I have been blogging on myspace for a while; in fact, that is really the only thing I have used it for, but one day I had a moment of clarity, as I was wrestling with the controls to my blog. (They weren't responding to my pleas and were being downright belligerent, refusing to post the body of my post, which really was rather counterproductive, since that was exactly what the blog function was supposed to be doing–allow me to post my blog) Whew!
Anyway, I've taken a huge step forward when it comes to blogging, and I'm excited to have this space represent my ideas–good, bad, or ugly. I'll be writing about travel, media, spirituality, philosophy, and anything else that I think of. So sit back with your laptop and enjoy. I know I will.

Wrong Bed, Right Roommate
- $0.99
- $0.99
Publisher Description
It's not every day you wake up to a stranger getting into your bed.
Only, he isn't a stranger at all, he's my best friend's hot older brother…and apparently my new roommate.
Having him in my space, driving me crazy, isn't a problem at all. Nope.
All I need to do is keep control of the situation…
But that's easier said than done.
Shawn Lassiter is the kind of distraction I don't need.
First he accidentally gets into my bed, half-naked, the night before my first day at my new job.
Hello, muscles and tattoos!
Then he's there, in nothing but a towel, making me coffee in the morning.
It's more than any girl can resist. Right?
But Shawn is off-limits, even if his eyes are saying differently.
Years ago, back when I still had my crush, he destroyed friendships with his reckless playboy antics.
There's no way I'm touching those perfectly formed abs now. I don't care how nice and responsible he's acting.
I don't want a boyfriend anyway. That's what my trusty vibrator is for.
I'm the smart girl—the glasses-wearing, book-reading workaholic. I can totally do this.
After all, it's only for two and a half months.
I'll be on my best behavior...even if Shawn isn't.
Each book in the Accidental Love series is STANDALONE:

* Wrong Bed, Right Girl
Customer ReviewsSee All
Great read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I rooted for Shawn all the way. Had moments of laughter, always a plus. Never felt the story drag on, from start to finish I was captured! 🥰
Besties or More?
Talia and Jessie have friends since grade school. When they decide to move from their small town to the "big" city, they find it very different and more expensive than they ever imagined. Together, they rent a tiny apartment in NYC. When Talia leaves for the summer with her dance company, they sublet Talia's room so rent is covered. Until their renter falls through...
Shawn needs a place to stay. He can't take another night on the broken down couch. When his sister contacts him with a solution to all their problems, he gladly accepts. Shawn, plagued by bad choices, really wants to prove himself and be successful at the brewery. So he packs his bag and heads to Talia's, hoping for a peaceful night's sleep. That is until he slides into the wrong bed.....
Shawn remembers Jessie as a glasses wearing, nerdy type. He definitely doesn't remember her as the stunning woman he's just slid into bed with. On the other hand, Jessie remembers Shawn's hooking up ways! But she has to admit he's definitely HOT now! Although Jessie's not pleased with Talia, she and Shawn agree to be "friends" since they'll be living together for the summer. When one kiss leads to more, they decide to enjoy themselves until Talia comes home. But will Talia be so accepting?
I loved that the "Alpha male" in this story was kind of broken. I liked the he was REAL! Shawn made poor decisions, as we all do. But he truly wanted to be successful, trustworthy, and loved. Very relatable! I liked how Jessie brought out the best in Shawn and fueled his desire to BE better, not only for her but for himself as well. I enjoyed Shawn's encouragement of Jessie too. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

In the world of commercial real estate leasing, landlord and tenants frequently rely on forms they have used in past transactions without giving much thought to whether their document needs to be updated — either for terminology or substantive changes.
At Horenstein Law Group, we often see lease forms proposed by "the other party" — or even by other attorneys — that contain not only out-of-date property insurance terms but also (because of that out-of-date terminology) fail to provide proper (and expected) insurance protections.
As a practical matter, it is important for both landlords and tenants to understand what is (or is not) covered by their respective property insurance policies as well as each other's policies. You need to understand what you are asking for and whether you are getting the coverage you expect.
Older real estate leases often describe the type of property insurance required as "Basic Form" (formerly known as "fire and extended coverage") or, in some cases, "Broad Form" coverage. However, landlords in particular are much better protected if their lease requires the tenant to provide "Special Form" (formerly known as "all risk") or "special extended coverage" property insurance.
The old terminology of Basic Form protects the insured against only 14 causes of loss (unless the policy is otherwise amended) and using the term "Broad Form" adds only five additional causes of insured loss. Both Basic Form and Broad Form include long lists of exclusions from coverage. To recover under either type of policy, the insured must prove a loss resulted from one of the named causes of loss and was not otherwise excluded from coverage.
Special Form or special extended coverage, on the other hand, provides coverage from loss from all causes that are not specifically excluded (and, to the extent the insured wants coverage for some of those exclusions, endorsements to the policy may be available). Additionally, in order to recover under this form, the insured need not prove which type of loss caused the damage, only that the type of loss was not specifically excluded.
Because forms and nomenclature within the insurance industry change frequently, a properly drafted commercial lease should use wording such as "Special Form or its equivalent" in the property insurance requirements. Given that there is a relatively small additional premium for the Special Form coverage over the Basic and Broad Form, the Special Loss coverage is now the most commonly used in commercial leasing.
And here are a few more items to look for in the property insurance section in your lease form:
Now, go pull out your lease form to see what it actually says!
Horenstein Law Group is ready to help you bring it up to date so that you have the protection you need.

"The NHS provides really sound guidance about how to drop weight so I've taken this as the starting point and decided to challenge myself as a chef to come up with truly attractive lower calorie dishes folks will want to eat every single day.Decide on two or 3 exercises to add to your exercise routine. To really get definition in your back and melt away fat, you are going to want to diversify how you work out that region. Incorporating two or 3 fo these exercising on back day can help you do that.Physicians usually advocate losing amongst 1 and 2 lbs (450 to 900 g) of weight per week. Just before implementing an intense weight loss regiment that will result in you to drop much a lot more than that, you need to talk to a health care professional to find out if such a regiment will be healthier for you and what the risks involved are.Kneel on a mat on all fours with your hands directly beneath your shoulders. Stretch your legs back a single at a time to come into plank position (the up" element of a push-up) engage your ab muscle tissues.

Imagine there is a seat belt tightening around your waist, drawing your lower-ab muscles inward.The cause please click the following article the diet functions is due to the fact it uses intermittent fasting, which is shown to have a optimistic effect on weight loss. With that in thoughts, right here are 7 ideas for cutting fat and building muscle that will assist you obtain a lean and ripped body.Eighty adults participated in the study, ranging in age from 25 to 62 years old. These folks were classed as either weight losers (-three per cent weight loss), weight gainers (+1 per cent weight achieve), or weight maintainers (-3 per cent to 1 per cent weight alter).Spot fat reduction is a myth, you have to drop overall physique weight to minimize belly fat, and typically the belly is the final location you are going to remove fat from.

Right away folks want to lift heavier weights, go on extended runs and bring more intensity to their workouts. This may possibly sound excellent, but it really is fully unrealistic and unsustainable. Going from relaxing to performing intense workouts is a recipe for disaster. Turkish wrestler and Olympic hopeful Elif Jale Yesilirmak , 26, sticks to a 3,000 cal-a-day diet program. "Alternatively of red meat I typically eat salmon. I believe fish is more healthful and nutritious. And also, lots of water. I drink a minimum of five litres of water each and every day," she says.In no way consume lunch out unless someone else is getting. Undertaking less exercise consistently is far better than performing a lot more intermittently ' there are practically no research on diet or exercise that are lengthy adequate in duration to translate into lifelong suggestions or conclusions. Spending 2-3 minutes a day with a food diary is likely to have a bigger effect on your weight than 30 minutes a day in the fitness center.Because the diet program plans are created to target a particular physiological purpose for stubborn excess weight, the food and recipes are subtly different for every. The very best way to shed weight is to combine cardiovascular and weight coaching workout, says Sarah Kirkham, fitness instructor of David Lloyd's leisure. Ideally, this must be 3 to 4 sessions a week.We most likely do not have to inform you that heavy boozing will pack on the pounds.

Once upon a time I went to a show and it was called Gotta Dance. The book was by Bob Martin and Chad Beguelin and the music was by Matthew Sklar with additional music by Marvin Hamlisch. The lyrics were by Nell Benjamin. It was based on the documentary Gotta Dance directed, written, and produced by Dori Berinstein. It was was directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. It was about this group of older people who audition for a hip hop dance team that will perform at halftime for the New Jersey Cougars basketball team. But of course, the rehearsals don't go completely smoothly because not everybody gets along and they don't understand hip hop at first, except for one person. It is about respecting the group that you are in, never being too old to start something, and dancing no matter what. It was super fun!
I liked the song called "Princess" because it was this bonding moment between the grandmother Bea (Lillias White) and her granddaughter Kendra (Joanna A. Jones). Kendra would have to drive her grandmother home every time after practice, but she didn't want to. It showed you that the bond between them was kind of lost, but the grandma was trying to restore it. Their relationship had been that she would spoil Kendra with dance lessons and everything she wanted. But more importantly, she made Kendra realize that there was always someone who loved her and she was more valuable than her boyfriend made her seem. They both had really amazing voices, so both of them singing it together made it a really amazing song.
I really liked the song "¿Como No?" that Camilla (Nancy Ticotin) sang when she danced with her boyfriend Fernando (Alexander Aguilar). I thought it was really catchy and the salsa dancing was amazing. Their feet were moving so fast and they were both so lively when they did this dance. The point of the song is that she is trying to say even if people say I am old and can't do anything, that's not true. And she's doing this amazing song and dance while she is saying it, so it kind of proves everybody wrong!
"The Prince of Swing" was so fun to watch. Ron (Andre De Shields) sang with Tara (Haven Burton) and Jenny (Jonalyn Saxer) about how, when he would go to parties when he was younger, he would introduce himself as the Prince of Swing. Tara is the coach and Jenny is part of the Cougarettes, the young hip hop team. He is trying to teach everybody to dance the way he used to dance and show them that that kind of dance is actual dancing. Also, his wife (Sydni Beaudoin) has passed away, but he has a vision of her and got to dance with her again. I thought that was super sweet. When he was dancing with his wife, the entire room froze for a second to show he was just in his own little world remembering his wife.
Mae (Lori Tan Chinn) was one of my favorite characters because she just had this very happy personality even though she was in the worst situation. Joanne (Stefanie Powers) wanted to kick her off the team because she messed up. But just because you don't do something perfectly doesn't mean you shouldn't get to do what you love. Also Mae's husband has Alzheimer's, which means he can't recognize her anymore, which I think is so so sad. I thought that giving her a sad song, "The Waters Rise," was a good idea because even funny characters can have something sad in their life. I feel like she should have had some kind of funny song too, just because I liked the character so much.
I wanted to know more about Muriel (Kay Walbye) because her story was so interesting but you didn't spend a lot of time on her. Tara's story wasn't as interesting to me because her problems didn't seem as big as the older dancers who were dealing with their families falling apart, divorces, illness, and everybody thinking they can't do anything. But I loved the "Swagger" song and I thought she was a great performer. I just wish they would find a little bit deeper plot for her.
People who would like this show are people who like fabulous dances, the Prince of Swing, and rapping kindergarten teachers. I think people should definitely go see this show. I thought it was super fun and I really enjoyed watching it.

Puppies and kittens are coming to Macy's windows, here's how to watch them
Update (11/18): SFGATE will be streaming live video from our Facebook page on Friday at 5 p.m. when the windows will be unveiled. We also will post updates to our Instagram and Snapchat accounts (username:SFGATE). Follow us on all our social media accounts to keep up with the puppy and kitten cuteness.
Politics aside, there is one thing every San Franciscan agrees on: the undeniable joy that the puppy and kitten-filled Macy's windows bring every holiday season.
The windows, which are known to facilitate hundreds of pet adoptions and raise money for local animal shelters every holiday season, will be opening to the public for viewing on Friday, November 18 until January 1. This year will celebrate its 30th anniversary and the 8,800 animals it has so far found forever homes.
"Over the years, Macy's generosity has helped thousands of animals find loving families during the holiday season," says Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, SF SPCA President. "We're grateful to be partnering with them for our momentous 30th anniversary! Holiday Windows has become a true part of the San Francisco holiday spirit."
Last year, more than 750 volunteers helped to find families for 261 cats and dogs. The SF SPCA (in conjunction with Macy's San Francisco) is currently looking for volunteers for this year.
For those who don't live in the area, the SF SPCA will be live streaming the windows on their official site.

Southern Tuna! Parcells to Join Atlanta Falcons
From the NY Daily News:
Bill Parcells, who once again has the desire to get back into the NFL, told the Daily News this morning he is on the verge of accepting a job to run the Atlanta Falcons football operation with only a few minor details to be worked out.
Parcells plans to hire a general manager and then work with the GM to hire a new coach to replace Bobby Petrino, who quit last week 13 games into his first season to coach at Arkansas. Parcells has candidates in mind for each job, but didn't want to reveal their names. He thought current team president and GM Rich McKay would stay with the team to handle league business…..
"I'm going to oversee the football operation, Parcells said. "I'm going to hire a general manager if the deal is finalized in Atlanta. We are going to hire a coach and talk to all the coaches who are there. It's going to be a collective effort. The triangle is going to be the GM, the coach and Bill Parcells. I'm also going to include Rich McKay if he wants to stay in the business.
"Under no circumstances is Bill Parcells ever going to return to the field."

Earlier today I had an interesting conversation regarding how to get more talented to people to start companies. The general consensus is that in places like Atlanta there are a number of smart, self-starting people with an entrepreneurial itch but who choose not to act on it. While entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, I do believe there are a number of people that could do well if they gave it a shot.
Here are a few thoughts on encouraging more people to start companies:
- Figure out how to get more publicity and media about the local entrepreneurial success stories (the more people that see the person down the street be successful, the more likely they are to believe they can do it themselves)
- Engage with professionals that are already attending entrepreneurial meetups, but haven't started a company, as it's clear there's an interest level
- Help professionals understand the existing technology clusters in town and explain that starting a company where there's existing expertise can increase the likelihood of success
- Build more entrepreneurial programs into the local universities to highlight entrepreneurship as a viable career path (encourage students to create their own jobs)
Of course, the biggest barrier to starting a company for most professionals is being trapped in a middle class lifestyle that requires extremely hard decisions to unwind (mortgage, car payments, etc.) Regardless, we can do more to encourage people to start companies and help them succeed.
What else? What are some other ways to encourage more people to start companies?

Course introduction
The following course is an interactive teaching module on the sciatic nerve. Complete the six sections of the module at your own pace. On completing each section you will be directed to the section to complete next.
At the end of this module you should be able to confidently describe the anatomy and function of the sciatic nerve. In addition to this, you should be able to apply this knowledge to multiple choice and problem solving questions.
Roots of the sciatic nerve
Figure 1: Formation of sciatic nerve form the rami of L4, L5, S1, S2, S3.
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body .
It is a thickened and flattened nerve of approximately 2cm in width.
It is formed by the ventral rami of L4, L5, S1, S2, S3 (Figure 1).
The sciatic nerve provides a direct nerve supply to the posterior thigh and an indirect supply to all compartments of the leg and foot.
Overview of the anatomical course of the sciatic nerve
Figure 2: Simplified diagram of the lower limb illustrating the course of the sciatic nerve in the lower limb.
The sciatic nerve is a continuation of the lumbosacral plexus.
It divides into tibial (L4, L5, S1-3) and common peroneal (L4, L5, S1-2) in the posterior thigh (figure 2).
The sciatic nerve normally divides into tibial and common peroneal nerves at the junctions of the middle and lower thirds of the thigh, proximal to the apex of the popliteal fossa.
The tibial nerve then continues in the posterior compartment of the leg giving rise to its terminal branches: medial and lateral plantar nerves.
The common peroneal nerve wraps round the head of the fibula before dividing into superficial and deep peroneal nerves.
Surface markings of the sciatic nerve
Figure 3: Posterior aspect of hemisected bony pelvis, illustrating the relations of the sciatic nerve to bony features of the pelvis.
Knowledge of the surface markings of the sciatic nerve are important in a clinical setting to ensure safe intramuscular injection and successful sciatic nerve block.
Descriptions of the surface markings of the sciatic nerve vary between anatomical textbooks.
Gray's anatomy describe that the sciatic nerve can be marked on the skin by a point midway between the posterior superior iliac spine and the ischial tuberosity. It then courses outwards and downwards to be marked by a point half way between the greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity (figure 3).
The sciatic nerve is formed by the ventral rami of which spinal nerves?
The sciatic nerve supplies which compartments in the lower limb?
- Posterior thigh, posterior leg and foot
- Anterior and posterior thigh
- Anterior thigh and all compartments of the leg
- Posterior thigh, all compartments of the leg and foot
The sciatic nerve divides into which two named nerves?
- Femoral nerve
- Tibial nerve
- Superficial peroneal nerve
- Deep peroneal nerve
- Common peroneal nerve
When performing a sciatic nerve block, a surface marking for the sciatic nerve can be made between which two bony features? (See figure 4 to aid your answer)
Figure 4: Posterior aspect of hemisected bony pelvis. Labels for two important bony features for the surface marking of the sciatic nerve have been removed.
- Ischial tuberosity
- Lesser trochanter
- Greater trochanter
- Anterior superior iliac spine

- Do not machine wash
- To clean: wipe with a damp cloth. Using a mild citrus based detergent may help remove stubborn stains.
- Product can be ironed on a cool setting on the reverse side (the uncoated side)
- Some tomato, egg, curry based sauces and ink etc may cause staining. The longer stains are left on the surface, the harder it will be to remove them.

Since 23rd June 2018, the date of our first impromptu Beehive event, we have focused on organising more such events and filming the #BrexitIsPersonal stories from ordinary people. We have just launched our Final Say For All You Tube channel
Voices from the Beehive: Brexit is Personal
Do you feel helpless in the face of Brexit?
How does Brexit affect you and your future?
Do feel you are alone and your voice isn't being heard?
You are not alone.
We are many and we will not be silenced
We at the Final Say For All Foundation run Beehive events, where you can meet and chat with others in a friendly setting.

The nose is remarkable in its variability, in profile, frontal plane, and from the undersurface. Details and definitions of the soft tissue and bony landmarks are available in references at the end of this chapter and are illustrated in Fig. 7.65a. A qualitative assessment of the nose should include:
1. the nasofrontal angle: is it normal, flat, or deep;
2. the nasal root protrusion: is it average, high, or low;
3. the nasal bridge: is it high, low, broad, beaky, or bulbous;
4. the nasal tip: is it normal, flat, or bifid;
5. the shape of each nasal ala: is it normal, slightly flat, markedly flat, slightly or markedly angled;
6. the nasal ala configuration: is it cleft, hypoplastic, hyper-trophic, and is there a coloboma;
7. the type and size of the nostrils: are they symmetric, asymmetric, and what type are they according to the Topinard classification (Fig. 7.65b).
The Topinard classification describes seven types of nostrils, three of which are intermediate (Fig. 7.65b). Type 7 is characteristic of nostrils in patients with a repaired cleft lip. More than half of the general population have Type 2 nostrils; a quarter have Type 1 nostrils, the other types being less frequent. The Topinard classification outlines some of the variability in size and shape of the alae nasi, nares, and columella.
Common variations in nose shape are shown in Fig. 7.65c. Attempts to quantify changes in nose shape with age have rarely been documented. However, it is well known that the nasal root is depressed in the infant and young child, associated with a scooped-out nasal bridge. With increasing age, the nasal bridge rises, producing a more prominent root. Nostril type also varies with age. The prevalence of Topinard Type 4 decreases significantly after age 18.
Most nasal measurements are soft tissue measurements. However, many alternatives are available from radiographs. These will not be described in detail here, and the interested reader is referred to the literature cited at the end of this chapter.
The horizontal measurements of the nose, particularly the width of the nasal root and the interalar distance, provide information about midline development in the same way that the measurements of eye spacing reflect midline development. The nasal tip may be broad, grooved, cleft,
or actually bifid with increasing width of the nose. A bifid nose results when the medial nasal prominences do not merge completely. In this situation, the nostrils are widely separated and the nasal bridges is bifid. This type of malformation may be part of a spectrum known as frontonasal dysplasia.
Unlike most vertical facial dimensions, nasal length continues to increase throughout life.

Camp Out in the Arctic Circle in Norway
White sandy beaches and a crystal-clear ocean — are you thinking of the Caribbean, archipelagos in the Maldives or perhaps Australia's Gold Coast? How about the Lofoten Islands? On the banks of one of Norway's most scenic fjords with Arctic peaks rising in the distance, you'll find lush green hills, startlingly blue waters and untouched beaches to rival any private island in warmer climes. Stay in a lavvu, an indigenous Sami teepee, right in the middle of this gorgeous expanse. The two-night, three-day camping experience includes a cruise through the islands (keep your eyes peeled for white-tailed sea eagles, porpoises and whales), guided hikes to the best vantage points, and kayaking through the bright turquoise waters before stopping for a picnic on the beach. You can also unleash your inner chef with a wilderness cooking course (Fish Your Dish), or help the environment with a beach cleanup and a presentation on the major impacts of plastic in our oceans.

Chelone glabra 'Black Ace'
A tall, dark-leaved cultivar of our native white Turtlehead, 'Black Ace' grows best in medium to wet, rich humusy soil. Good for bog and rain gardens, around ponds, and for erosion control. White flowers appear between August and September.
Chelone is our native Turtlehead with white flowers that stand out beautifully against the dark green foliage. It is rhizomatous (spreading by rhizomes), so it is best to let it naturalize in an informal garden. Does well in boggy soil. Attracts butterflies.

100% Pure, Organic Panty Liners for Women with Sensitive Skin
You can find panty liners of various types and materials available on the market. Choosing Organyc® 100% pure, organic cotton panty liners provides greater comfort, softness and hypoallergenicity, as well as better perspiration, since authentic cotton naturally helps to prevent the rise of moisture and the temperature of the intimate area, thus avoiding the proliferation of bacteria. Using Organyc panty liners will reduce the risk of allergy, dermatitis and intense vaginal itching.

100% Pure Cotton
Organyc brand products leave you with a safe and secure sensation because they are only made with 100% pure organic cotton — inside and out. Some other feminine care brands are made of synthetics, like rayon, cellulose (wood pulp) and super absorbent material.

They are even clinically and dermatologically tested as an effective means of avoiding skin irritation. While other brands products are sometimes bleached in chlorine, Organyc panty liners, pads and tampons are bleached instead in peroxide, a naturally occurring disinfectant. Since Organyc products are made entirely of soft, comfortable organic cotton, everything that touches you is, of course, also organic cotton. And Organyc 100% organic cotton products are also breathable, biodegradable, perfume-free and plastic-free.
