The Government has taken another small step towards relegating cars to the back seat. At park connectors, it has begun building road crossings that prioritise cyclists and pedestrians over motorists.
Along a stretch of the Sims Avenue Park Connector beside Kembangan MRT station, for instance, five of these raised road crossings have been built in the past two months.
"The raised platform will require motorists to slow down as they approach the crossing, while allowing cyclists and pedestrians to cross the road without the need to step down from the pavements," said the Land Transport Authority and National Parks Board in a joint statement. But the new paths are not zebra crossings, which cede complete right of way to pedestrians.
They have also been built along the Park Connector Network (PCN) in Tampines and Alexandra, and will likely feature in the 20km cycling network to be built in Ang Mo Kio by 2018. The PCN spans 300km of cycling and jogging paths, spread out over five loops islandwide.
These "continuous sidewalks" - so-called because they do not require cyclists to get off a kerb to cross a road - are marked with bold yellow markings and have rumble strips leading up to them.
Sometimes, cars just turn and speed in. Now, I notice they are more cautious.
CIVIL SERVANT MARY TAN, who brisk-walks on the park connector every day, on the raised crossings
It was one of 10 suggestions mooted in an active mobility study done by government think-tank Centre for Liveable Cities and United States-based research body Urban Land Institute last year.
The study said the crossings "prioritise the right of way for pedestrians or cyclists at minor intersections and slip lanes, allowing for greater continuity of movement".
This is not the first idea from the study to be taken on board. Other ideas adopted include narrowing road lanes to slow down traffic.
Kembangan residents say the new feature has deterred speedsters. "Sometimes, cars just turn and speed in. Now, I notice they are more cautious," said civil servant Mary Tan, 50, who brisk-walks on the park connector daily.
Domestic worker Eli Widiyawati, 28, who cycles twice weekly along the park connector to get to the nearby market, agrees. "It's very convenient - we don't have to get off the bike to cross the road now."
But some motorists feel the new crossings might create confusion. "If the idea is to give pedestrians right of way, then they should make it a zebra crossing. Now, it's a bit of a grey area," said cabby Ng Kok Chye, 49.
Still, experts said the new crossings make road junctions safer.
Mr Francis Chu, co-founder of cycling group LoveCyclingSG, said road junctions are potential conflict zones and accidents often happen because users do not have time to react to the unexpected. "In that sense, this gives all users more time to negotiate this conflict zone."
Dr Alexander Erath, a transport researcher at the Singapore-ETH Future Cities Laboratory, believes measures like this provide more direct connections for cyclists and pedestrians, adding that people spend considerable travelling time walking or waiting for public transport.
"There is huge potential to improve conditions," he said. "This is one clear policy measure that brings us in this direction."

In normal trading conditions, building a refinery in Qatar would make little commercial sense because of depressed sugar prices, surplus world stocks and the presence of regional refineries that could provide supplies, the sources said.
- U.S. crude stocks fell last week, while gasoline and distillate inventories also declined, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday. Crude inventories fell by 6.1 million barrels in the week to July 20, compared with analysts' expectations for a decrease of 2.3 million barrels. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub fell by 1.1 million barrels, EIA said. Refinery crude runs rose by 46,000 barrels per day, EIA data showed.

The court is being set up as part of Ukraine's $17.5 billion bailout and has become a symbol of its efforts to stamp out high-level corruption that has blighted the country for decades.
- U.S. President Donald Trump accused China on Wednesday of targeting American farmers in a "vicious" way and using them as leverage to get concessions on trade. "China is targeting our farmers, who they know I love & respect, as a way of getting me to continue allowing them to take advantage of the U.S. They are being vicious in what will be their failed attempt. We were being nice – until now!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
- White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said a plan by the Trump administration to pay as much as $12 billion in relief to U.S. farmers hurt by a burgeoning trade dispute is a stop-gap proposal and doesn't signal a willingness to make a habit of aid programs. "What we've put on the board is what I think is a temporary assistance measure, I don't think it's going to get near to $12 billion," Kudlow said during an interview on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday. "Nobody's really thrilled about this. We're just trying to protect American agriculture from some of the unfair trading practices."

He mixed white phosphorus with lead-dioxide and gum arabic, and he dipped the tip of the pine wood match sticks into this soft paste and left them to solidify. In 1844 Gustaf Erik Paschnak replaced white phosphorus, which was the poisonous component of the match's tip, with red phosphorus, and his procedure was later further improved by his compatriot, John Edvard Lundström. Matches embody the perfect design object thanks to their straightforward simplicity and unaltered form that has spanned centuries.

Rising Seas, Climate Change & the Viriginia Coast46:17Play
As the U.N. talks about climate in Cancun, coastal Norfolk, VA, is already dealing with rising sea levels.
Norfolk, Virginia is one of the oldest cities in America. It's a city on the water, at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
And if you live in Norfolk, what you see is the water rising. Norfolk's land base is settling. The seas are getting higher.
The combination has put Norfolk out front in confronting what cities all over the world may face in a century of climate change: water in the streets; big decisions on what to save and where to retreat; and huge costs.
Climate change deniers hate the conversation, but in Norfolk, it's reality time. We look at getting real about high water, and what's to come.

With the presidential election on the horizon, politics are a hot topic—but they can cause serious arguments for couples who aren't politically aligned.
According to a survey of 10,000 teens and millennials by the polling app Wishbone, 47 percent of people would not date someone with political beliefs that differ from their own. It's not just couples that have a problem with it—36 percent say their parents would care what political party their significant other belonged to. That's probably why one in three people polled likes to bring politics up on the first date to make sure there aren't any deal-breakers.
This policy might prevent situations like the one Vanessa, 25, found herself in when she realized the guy she'd been dating for seven months wasn't pro-choice. "It came out that he was more conservative [and] religious than I thought, and he was antiabortion," she recalled. "It weighed on my mind...what if I got pregnant?" After trying to make it work for two more months, she realized their differences were irreconcilable.
Julie, 29, had also been dating someone for several months and was happy with the relationship—until her date said "I can't believe these liberal pieces of sh-t" while watching Real Time With Bill Maher. "As he went on about how he cannot stand liberal pieces of sh-t, I was sitting there thinking, 'OK, so you can't stand me,'" she recounted. "After talking for a little while about the presidential candidates, gun control, and trying to explain to him the separation of church and state, I decided this was just not going to work for me."
When Katie, 28, found out her crush would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, she decided to nip their relationship in the bud. "I didn't even bother to get into it with him because I could sense the passion in his voice," she said. "Without actually saying the words, I knew he would vote for Trump if it came down to it and that just ruined him for me."
Allison, 25, doesn't need someone to take a particular stance but avoids extremes. "I'm very centrist and enjoy exploring both sides," she said. "It's obviously hard to find someone middle of the road, but I hope for guys to be open minded."
Would you break up with someone or decide not to date them because of their politics, or could you get over it if everything else was right?

You may recall a few years ago when nets went up all around the base of the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom thanks to falling debris from the park icon. Well, Disney's other man-made tree in Florida is now experiencing the same issues.
Walkways around the lower levels of the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse are now covered by nets to protect guests from any falling pieces of the nearly-47-year-old Adventureland attraction.
There have been no public reports of any debris falling or any guests getting struck, but it seems likely as the reason for the additions based on what happened at Animal Kingdom years ago.
After a few years, the Tree of Life was finally repaired and the paths uncovered. Let's hope it doesn't take years to fix the Swiss Family Treehouse and restore the picturesque views.
It's a pretty ugly sight at the moment.
Yikes… we will keep you updated on this story as it continues to develop.

Since I've made several knitted garter belts for my friends as wedding gifts, I decided that I wanted to knit myself a garter belt for my elopement.
I used the same pattern as I had before and actually used some leftover ribbon from Candy's garter belt. I bought more Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk because I really enjoyed the feel of the yarn. I knitted until the piece was approximately 17 inches long. I used leftover elastic to weave through the piece for some give to it.
I actually wore it during our ceremony. The only problem that I had with the knitted garter belt was that it did not stick to my pantyhose. After sitting down or walking around for a bit, the garter belt would slip down my leg and I would have to bend over to fix it. [This caused a minor Bridezilla moment when my mom reminded me that it fell after the third or fourth time of fixing it.] Overall, I loved the knitted garter belt and I think Z did too. 😉

The ambition is to develop an environmental management system that will provide a clear guideline for the company's environmental initiatives in the future. To us, it is important that the work is characterized by an awareness of the company's environmental impact and that it will result in actual improvements, such as choice of material in products and procedures for recycling.

The ambition is to develop a quality management system to secure a preserved high level on the company's products and services. To us, it is important to be able to meet our customer's different expectations concerning the products' quality as well as on time delivery performance.
AB QVINTUS was founded in 1953 by Claes Liljeberg, Rune Lövenberg and Torsten Tardelius. The three men had met while working for the same glassblowing company, Freiberger & André, shortly after the Second World War. When this company was about to move its location from Gröndal, south side Stockholm, to Karlskrona in the south of Sweden, the three of them decided to start their own business. They brought along two other colleagues and became five, which made a quintet - therefore the company was named AB QVINTUS.
To start with, and for many years to come, QVINTUS found most of its customers within the Swedish shipping industry. Nordstjernan and the Johnson Shipping Line together with Kockums, Götaverken, Öresundsvarvet and Uddevallavarvet were regular customers. Even other Nordic ship building companies such as Kvaerner, Wärtsilä and Moss Rosenbergs Verft occurred as well. During this period the company produced large amounts of mercury switches, for use in staircases, refrigerators and different pumps.
Due to the ship building crisis in the 1970's QVINTUS shifted focus towards the Swedish HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) industry and heating plants all around the country. In the 1980's, a department for ventilation tools was opened and in the 1990's, tools for the district heating industry were brought in to broaden the range. QVINTUS now went on to the industry and OEM market (Original Equipment Manufacturer). In the beginning of 2000, even pressure gauges and needle valves have been added to the supply. Today the company is on the verge of introducing sensors as measuring instruments in the assortment and a big effort is being made to develop the export business.
AB QVINTUS is today a family business in the second and third generation, managed by the son of Torsten Tardelius, Ulf Tardelius. Since 2006 the business is located in Bandhagen in the south of Stockholm.

Seggiano expanding Barcho's business (5.1.10)
Over the last years we have been in touch with the London based Perregrine Trading. They are suppliers of organic delicacies from artisan producers in Italy, mainly from the area around the small village of Seggiano in southern Tuscany. Most of the products use the brand Seggiano, and so does their wonderful extra virgin olive oil produced on Olivastra Seggianese.
Normally, the olive oil is mild, with a creamy taste and a slightly peppery after taste with fresh herbs. Their first bottling, however, is a deep green, non filtered, medium punchy olive oil that carriesthe label "New Harvest". This oil is now in Barcho's storage and
before Christmas it reached some of our stores in Oslo.
I addition, Perregrine Trading offers a series of fantastic products, many of them organic. As a start, we have in stock:
- Semi dried tomatoes: sweeter and more tasty than you have ever tasted
- Mixed Porcinini: delicious on pizza, pasta, risotto and more
- Red pesto: any better than this one?
- Green pesto: no cheese, but who misses it with such an intense smell of basil?
- Tomato sauce for pasta: just chuck it on, ummmmm......
- Pasta: tagliatelle and penne rigate made in a bronze moulds to make a special porous texture that makes the sauce cling to the pasta. Slow drying on low temerature to preserve the proteins, makes the pasta more tasty.
- Risotto rice: the finest, from Carnaroli rice.
Besides the facts about the pasta, our comments are of cource subjective. But they also mirror our true pleasure discovering the sublime tastes of natural food. From small producers concerned with minimal processing and no addition of preservatives.
Barcho´s oils and balsamic vinegar at the Norwegian Culinary Academy (09.05.09)
At the end of April, the Norwegian Culinary Academy arranged a feast for Union Group. While 25 employees were having a meeting, their partners prepared a four-course menu under the professional supervision of the captain of the Norwegian Culinary Team, Jostein Medhus. In advance, he had carefully selected 3 of Barcho's products to be included in the courses: Olivastra Seggianese from Frantoio Franci, Lirys Moraiolo from Luigi Tega og Antico Condimento Balsamico, Etichetta Rossa "8" from Terra del Tuono.
Barcho visiting Luigi Tega (21.04.09)
At the end of March 2009 Barcho visited our producer in Umbria, Luigi Tega. He has tried to invite us several times since we started importing his olive oils last year. And since we were on a trip to Umbria anyway, it was a pleasure to accept his invitation.
The biggest Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten harvesting with Barcho in Toscana (22.11.08)
Three Norwegian gentlemen tiptoes, bow down with round eyes over the green olive oil that pours out. At last! This year's greatest tasting experience is here. Look up the article in Aftenposten 22.11.2008 written in Norwegian.

"Ain't Crying For The Moon" (2006) reviews
Lenny Wolf strikes back with a new Kingdom Come album, this is more of a soloalbum from Lenny where he has done most of the work by himself with a little help from various unknown musicians. I really like Lenny's two albums with Stone Fury that I think is great AOR/MHR albums and the first 4 albums with Kingdom Come are good stuff. But after Bad Image (1993) I have lost my faith in K.C and the following albums has been pretty weak and boring, he has never managed to come up with enough strong songs in the same quality we saw on the first K.C albums. But on "Ain't Crying For The Moon" he has tried to supply strong melodies with hooks with an Ok result on a couple tracks, but out of the 13 tracks I feel that there are way too many fillers that passes by without notice.
Sure, if you dig the last album "Perpetual" - then you will have a nice time with this album, even if this is the heaviest album K.C has released.
Like I said, Lenny has managed to write a few songs that are worth to be mentioned, just listen to the over 8 minute title track which is a true epic rocker that brings back memories to the early albums, fantastic song. "Friends In Spirit" is a great melodic rocker with a strong chorus, the dark rocker "Darkroom" is very nice.
Lenny has also done a new version of "Get It On" that closes the album, great song but do we need a new version? A step forward from the previous albums but still not enough to satisfy my wants.

Yamaguchi Daijingu (�R����_�{, Yamaguchi Daijingū) is a much smaller and simpler version of the Ise Shrines. It was built in 1518 after the local lord had traveled to Ise and returned home wishing to have a shrine that houses the same deities as those at Ise. Henceforth, the locals who were unable to travel to Ise in person had the opportunity to visit Yamaguchi Daijingu instead, and the shrine became known as the "Ise Shrines of the West".
Like the Ise Shrines, Yamaguchi Daijingu consists of an outer and an inner shrine, which are rebuilt every 20 years. Unlike the Ise Shrines, however, the shrines of Yamaguchi Daijingu are located just next to each other. The shrine structures come with a simple, wooden appearance, portraying a purely Japanese architectural style with little influence from mainland Asia. Yamaguchi Daijingu is located within a forest at the outskirts of the city, providing the serene setting for a tranquil visit.
Yamaguchi Daijingu stands about two kilometers northwest of Yamaguchi Station. It can be reached on foot (30 minutes) or by rental bicycles, which are available outside the station (300 yen for two hours or 700 yen for the whole day).
Alternatively, take a bus from the station bound for Yamaguchi Daigaku (�R����w) or Nakaoguchi (������)�@and stop at Kenchomae (�����O) bus stop (6 minutes, 170 yen, 2-3 departures per hour). From the bus stop it takes five minutes to walk to the shrine.

Metroid Prime Federation Force is based in the beloved Metroid Prime universe, but this time, you are not playing as Samus. Instead, this Nintendo 3DS spinoff has you taking the role of one of a Galactic Federation Marine. You can either play through the game by yourself or cooperate with up to three friends.
When it was first announced, many people were not too thrilled, but time has passed now. I was one of the people who didn't quite know what to think. But today at PAX East, I got my hands on it and played some co-op.
Overall, the game was fun. The graphics are really good on the 3DS, especially the 3D effects. It ran incredibly smooth, and I never noticed any issues.
The controls, however, were a different story. I was moving forward and backward and turning with the Circle Pad. The C-stick was only used to look up and down. I shot my main weapon with the A button, because the R button was used to activate motion controls for aiming (somewhat similar to Splatoon). This was definitely a pain, and I cannot imagine playing the game like this all the time. Luckily, you will be able to customize some of the controls in the final version, but I was not told how much.
Once I finally got a bit used to the controls, I jumped into the game with three others. Each player took a a role, based on what weapons and items he or she chose. I decided to be mostly focused on attack, but I also grabbed the medical gear. This meant I was the one to send out health to others when they needed it. This is very fun, but it is definitely different than a typical Metroid game. You are not alone this time.
Metroid Prime Federation Force will launch on the Nintendo on August 19, 2016, in North America. Stay tuned to NintendoFuse for our continued coverage of the game.

Finding Appropriate Solutions
and Changing Lives
Clinical Services - Our Approach
Technology is an integral part of our lives, that is a truism nowadays.
We rely on technology for everything from communication to travel, from managing our lives and homes to being entertained. Of course, this is the case whether or not we have a disability. However, for someone with a disability there may be other considerations, whether the technology is accessible and whether, once accessed, it can be useful.
So, a smartphone can make an excellent memory aid. But how do you access it if you can't see very well, or at all? Amazon Echo is a great device for playing music, controlling the environment, accessing news. You just ask it questions, tell it to do something. But if you can't speak- how to communicate with it?
At Steve Wiseman Associates we find ways of getting technology to work for those with a wide range of disabilities. It may be that mainstream tech, such as the Amazon Echo will work for you, or you may need something more bespoke. Either way we can advise and support you in learning to use it.
We frequently work alongside others who are supporting someone who is disabled, such as Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychologists and Physiotherapists and ensure that what we recommend fits in with what they recommend. Technology can be a vital part of rehabilitation as well as leisure.
Drawing on our expertise in rehabilitation, we can ensure that the most appropriate – and therefore cost-effective – solutions are chosen.

Dual bumper winner STORM BRIG got off the mark over hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring over 2m at Newcastle. Breeding suggests today's longer trip is within his compass and Alistair Whilans' promising hurdler can continue his winning ways. Lively Baron also won his debut over timber when beating a subsequent winner at Haydock. He looks a real threat as does Cheltenham bumper winner Tanzanite Bay, who makes her seasonal reappearance. Kelso winner Sunarri went close at Aintree last time and is another to consider in what looks a decent contest.

Christmas in July
We have a new challenge for you over at Stamp Something and this week we want to see your holiday cards! That's right our challenge is Christmas in July! Make a holiday or winter themed card and get a jump start on your holiday card making to do list! Anything holiday will work for this one. Our sponsor this week is Firecracker Designs and they have donated some great blog candy. Head on over to Stamp Something to check it out!
For my card I used a couple super cute Firecracker stamps, one of a reindeer and the other of Santa! Perfect for the holidays I would say. The sentiment is also from Firecracker.
It was a lot of fun to make a holiday card in the middle of summer. A nice change from the norm! I used Copics to color the images and then added some stickles to Santa. Each images has been cut out and popped up with foam tape. The papers are retired SU! designer prints and some Chocolate Chip and Old Olive card stock. I added a chocolate brad and some wide red grosgrain ribbon to finish this one off. Now I have 1 card I can check of my holiday list! I think I might start making a couple every month and get myself a big head start on the holiday season.
I hope you'll join us this week at Stamp Something. Have a great weekend and Happy 4th of July! :)

The policy statement, "Infection Prevention and Control in Pediatric Ambulatory Settings," published in the November 2017 Pediatrics, (published online Oct. 23) acknowledges that the majority of patients are seen in outpatient facilities or doctor's offices, and so infection control in these places should be just as strict as in hospitals. The AAP recommends mandatory annual influenza immunization for staff, and documentation of immunity or immunization against other vaccine-preventable infections including pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and hepatitis B. In the policy statement, the AAP emphasizes the importance of cough and sneeze etiquette and hand hygiene, and recommends that waiting rooms be equipped with alcohol-based sanitizers and masks. Pediatricians should also post visual reminders to cover your nose and mouth with your elbows rather than your hands when coughing and sneezing, and to properly dispose of tissues. Among other recommendations, the report recommends avoiding stocking the waiting room with plush toys like stuffed animals, which are difficult to clean and can harbor germs. Instead, parents should be encouraged to bring their own. New recommendations include special precautions for cystic fibrosis patients, whose lungs are especially vulnerable to drug-resistant bacterial infections. These high-risk patients should not share space in the waiting area and instead be placed directly into the exam room.###The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 66,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

On May 10, 2017, the U.S. Health and Human Services Department Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announced an agreement whereby Memorial Hermann Health System (MHHS) will pay a $2.4 million penalty for releasing a patient's name in a press release. According to the resolution agreement, in September 2015, a patient at an MHHS clinic presented an allegedly fraudulent identification card to office staff. The staff notified law enforcement and the patient was arrested. Although notification to law enforcement did not violate the HIPAA rules, it wa a violation to include the patient's ...
A proposed rule intended to stabilize the individual and small group insurance markets was issued on February 17, 2017, only a week after the Senate confirmed Tom Price as the Secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS).[1] Although the proposed rule is intended to stabilize these markets, it may make it more difficult for individuals to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage, thereby reducing the number of people who are insured.
This is a turbulent time for American healthcare. Within weeks after the publication of the proposed rule, the American Health Care Act (AHCA) was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal and replace key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and make significant changes to federal funding for Medicaid.[2] On Friday, March 24, House Speaker Paul Ryan pulled the bill before a vote.[3] In the aftermath of the bill's withdrawal, President Trump predicted that if it were left in place, ObamaCare would explode.[4] As recently as Sunday, April 2, however, the President tweeted that talks of repeal and replace of the ACA were ongoing and would continue until a deal was struck.[5] On Tuesday, April 4, House Speaker Paul Ryan said Republican lawmakers are having productive talks on a new healthcare reform bill.[6]
This on again, off again, action to attack the ACA leaves a great deal of uncertainty for healthcare providers. That uncertainty is compounded by regulatory action that will affect the ACA in ways less visible to the public. Apparently, Secretary Price is well aware of HHS' options to make regulatory changes. According to the Chicago Tribune, he remarked during the House Appropriations Committee hearing on his agency's proposed budget that "[f]ourteen hundred and forty-two times the ACA said 'the secretary shall' or 'the secretary may.'[7]
The Anti-Kickback Statute
Those in the business of providing healthcare services to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries are all too familiar with the federal Anti-kickback Statute (AKS). Among other dreadful sanctions, it imposes criminal penalties on those individuals or entities that knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit, or receive remuneration in order to induce or reward the referral of business reimbursable under federal healthcare programs. A violation of the AKS is a felony punishable by fines of up to $25,000 and imprisonment for up to five years. An offense may also result in the imposition of civil monetary penalties, government program exclusion, and liability under the federal False Claims Act. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has the authority, however, to protect certain provider arrangements and payment practices under the AKS. To that end, HHS has established safe harbors in various areas. While compliance with a safe harbor is not mandatory, healthcare providers and others may voluntarily seek to comply with safe harbors so that they may have substantial assurance that their business practices do not violate the AKS.
A New Safe Harbor
On January 20, 2017, a new safe harbor became available for local transportation services furnished by healthcare providers to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. [1] The safe harbor protects an offer of free or discounted local transportation services when paid for by an eligible entity. An eligible entity may be a direct provider of healthcare services or one that arranges for the provision of healthcare services to patients, such as a health plan or clinically integrated network. The definition of an eligible entity excludes organizations that primarily supply healthcare items rather than services, such as a durable medical equipment suppliers or pharmacies. However, entities that primarily provide services, but also provide items, such as a hospital, may provide patients with transportation to the hospital for items or services provided by the hospital (such as for obtaining items at the hospital's on-site pharmacy).
The safe harbor is available for two types of transportation. First, the safe harbor protects an offer to provide transportation of an established patient to or from an eligible entity for medically necessary items or services. An established patient is a person who has contacted the eligible entity to schedule an appointment or had a previous appointment with the eligible entity furnishing the transportation.
Second, the safe harbor protects certain types of shuttle services that are generally available to the public, as well as patients on a non-discriminatory basis.

Bond, Michael - The Complete Paddington - ( Item 129879 )
Published in London by Folio Society. 2010. First Thus. 12 Fine or Near Fine Hardbacks. Slight fading to spine of On Top, Takes the air and Marches on, though you wouldn't notice this on the shelf. Some very slight marks to the sine of More about Paddington. No inscriptions or bookplates. Near Fine slipcase. Slight marks and bumps to panels of slipcase. 12 volumes. Presented in a buckram-bound slip case blocked in gold. Bound in different shades of gold-blocked cloth with matching head and tail bands. Inset paper labels, gilded top edges, printed endpapers. 1,840 pages in total, size 8 x 5Ľ ins. Between 1958 and 1979 Michael Bond wrote eleven stories about a well-intentioned, but accident-prone bear called Paddington, who has a penchant for marmalade. Paddington has since delighted children and adults the world over, selling over 35 million copies in 40 languages. To the delight of fans, Bond wrote a 12th book to celebrate Paddington's 50th anniversary. Now, the complete set of Paddington stories is available in a gorgeous, exclusive Folio Society edition. Michael Bond was working as a cameraman for the BBC, when, returning home on Christmas Eve, he saw a lonely-looking bear in a shop window. He bought it as a gift for his wife and named it Paddington because they lived near the station. Soon Bond found himself making up little stories about a small (and very rare) bear who leaves darkest Peru because his Aunt Lucy has gone into a home for retired bears. Luckily the first people he meets in London are Mr and Mrs Brown. They see him sitting sadly on his suitcase, with a label round his neck which reads: PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS BEAR. THANK YOU. Taken into the Browns' family, Paddington soon makes friends with the children Jonathan and Judy, and their redoubtable housekeeper Mrs Bird. He goes on delightful adventures with Mr Gruber who owns an antique shop on Portobello Road, but annoys a grumpy neighbour whose furious shouts of 'BEAARRR!' often ring round Notting Hill Square. This glorious set is illustrated with the original black and white drawings by Peggy Fortnum. She immortalised the little bear with tufty black ears who first arrived in Paddington station holding onto his uncle's floppy hat and was later coaxed into a fine blue duffel coat. The final, 50th anniversary book employs the talents of R. W. Alley, a devoted fan whose sketches are a fitting homage to Peggy Fortnum's pen.

Hide your braces, not your smile!
Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth.
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created just for you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements we plan out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You'll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life.
How Does Invisalign Work?
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to their final positions. You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time typically lasts 9 to 15 months, and the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both numbers will vary from case to case.
Schedule a complimentary consultation to determine if Invisalign® is right for you. Our orthodontists will examine your mouth and jaw to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign.
Invisalign® uses advanced computer technology to create precisely calibrated and manufactured aligners to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan.
Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually until the final alignment prescribed is attained.
Why Choose Invisalign?
- Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.
- Brushing and flossing are easy!
- They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
- No metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
- Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Πρόγραμμα: EEA Grants
Θεματική ενότητα: Όλες οι θεματικές ενότητες
Αρμόδιος Φορέας: EU
Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway have announced a new fund that supports regional cross-border and transnational projects proposing shared solutions to Europe's common challenges. Funding is available within all priority sectors of the EEA and Norway Grants.
Facilitating cross-border regional cooperation
Whereas the majority of EEA and Norway Grants funding is tailor-made to national initiatives and bilateral cooperation between the donor and beneficiary countries, the new EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation supports project ideas strengthening cross-border and transnational cooperation between the donor countries, the beneficiary countries and ten neighbouring countries.
A total of €34.5 million has been allocated to this fund. In the first call for project proposals that was also launched today €15 million is made available for projects. The call is available on www.eeagrants.org/regionalcooperation. The purpose of the fund is to finance regional cooperation projects within a wide range of fields
"Many of the economic and social challenges we are facing in Europe today do not respect national borders," said the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ine Eriksen Søreide on the occasion of the launch.
The launch of the Fund gathered a full house of more than 130 participants from the EU institutions, EU member states' and other countries' representations in Brussels, international organisations, regional offices and representatives from the donor countries.
"It is important that Norway is promoting European solidarity and cooperation through this new fund," Ms Eriksen Søreide said.
Cooperation also with neighbouring countries
It is possible to apply for funding for projects within any of the priority sectors of the EEA and Norway Grants, for example projects in the areas of innovation, business development, health, research, social inclusion, the environment and climate change, culture, civil society, protection of fundamental rights, migration, and the judicial system/correctional services. Read more about the priority sectors here.
Funding is available for projects in all the 15 beneficiary countries of the EEA and Norway Grants. In addition, projects may involve cooperation with non-EU countries that share a border with a beneficiary country.
"Expertise partners from the donor countries Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland can also take part in the projects and I hope this will be the case. Iceland is a geographically isolated island, but its inhabitants know that today´s problems and solutions know no borders," said Ambassador of Iceland to the EU, Bergdís Ellertsdóttir.
Deputy Head of Unit in the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) Ann-Kerstin Myleus and Boyan Natan, from the Permanent Representation of Republic of Bulgaria to the EU also spoke at the event and welcomed the new Fund established by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Projects must involve partners from at least three countries and activities in different countries.
The deadline for applications is 1 July 2018.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has told his players to show their professionalism over the last few weeks of the season amid speculation he will soon be departing.
The Blues came back from 2-0 down to beat Southampton at the weekend.
It was a fine response from an Olivier Giroud inspired Chelsea but for much of the match the concerns that have dogged the team this year were on show.
Their victory on the road was their first for nearly three months and just their second of 2018.
The difficult spell has only heightened speculation about the future of Conte, with many expecting the Italian to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Amid that backdrop, Conte has told his players they must play for the club, rather than for him, over the next few weeks.
'The players must play like this [in the second half against Southampton] in every game, not for me, but for the club,' said Conte.
'They must have great respect for the fans. They have to play for the club, for our fans, and to show great character like they did in this game. This is the best possible way for a player to show they are a fantastic professional.'
Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are virtually over, with fourth-place Tottenham seven points ahead with five games to play. But the Blues remain in contention to win the FA Cup with a semi-final against Southampton on Sunday.
Conte added: 'I was a player, and the players must play every game, and not for me, but for the club, and for the fans. They must have great respect for this badge, they don't have to play for the coach.'

General grants are given for projects lasting up to 30 months and costing up to $50,000. Mini grants are available for projects lasting up to 12 months and costing between $500 and $5,000. Proposals for classroom projects, conference speakers, and other activities that are eligible under the general grant program are eligible under the mini-grant program, but the application process is streamlined. Ohio EPA's Office of Environmental Education reserves up to $50,000 each grant round to fund projects submitted under this program. Just like the general grant program, there are two mini-grant rounds each year, with the next application deadline on Jan. 15, 2013. An electronic letter of intent to apply is due on Jan. 8.

Find Out What's Been Going On!
Did you know the graduation rate for homeless youth in California is less than 25%?
Despite this alarmingly low percentage, thousands of homeless youth manage to overcome numerous obstacles and graduate from high school, each year. But, getting to their graduation day is the least of our youth's worries.
A youth's final year of high school can be very expensive. Prom. Graduation fees. Account fees. Cap and Gown. All of these must be covered, prior to a high school senior being eligible to receive a diploma. For homeless and foster youth, the question becomes, "who will cover these expenses, for me?"
That question has been made a little easier to answer, thanks in part to a volunteer program from the Los Angeles Unified School District. One youth per academic year is selected and sponsored by LAUSD to cover these expenses and more.
This year, that youth was one from the Los Angeles Youth Network. JW, 18, was selected from a dozen entries by LAUSD Homeless Education Program Counselors and school staff.
LAUSD sponsored his prom. Paid for his library fees, covered his graduation expenses, and attended his graduation. Not only did they ensure he successfully completed high school, this sponsorship covered his preparation for college --- providing him with a laptop and gift cards for supplies.
JW was beyond appreciative of the LAUSD representatives, who showed up to his graduation party. He said, "I can't believe you did this for me. I didn't know how I was going to attend prom. You made it so I could go to prom with my graduating class, that was the best." He also added, "You got me a laptop! I needed this. This is perfect for school."
Prepared to start his new academic journey, JW will be attending a junior college in Pasadena with the hopes of becoming a physical therapist.
If you'd like to sponsor a high school senior at LAYN, please contact the development department at
or (323) 467-8466.
Over the summer, youth from LAYN's Transitional Living Program (TLP) embarked on a three-day, two-night backpacking trip to Santa Cruz Island, one of the eight Channel Islands, off the Ventura Harbor in Southern California. The purpose of the trip was to strengthen life skills, and practice team building as well as leadership skills through a wilderness experience.
In its second year, this highly anticipated youth outing was led by TLP house mentor, Wes Siler and LAYN's program staff. A contributor to
Outside Magazine
, Wes is a wilderness, camping and survival expert. He volunteers his time coordinating activities like indoor rock climbing, hiking, and camping with the TLP youth.
Last year, our youth took a beginner trip, car camping, to
Nira Campground
, in the San Rafael Wilderness. You can read about our first camping experience,
After that trip, youth convinced staff and Wes, they were ready for the "real deal".
To prepare for this year's camping experience, youth took on leadership roles organizing, scheduling, and planning for the journey. They selected a remote island, about a 2-hour drive along the Ventura Harbor, and a 1-hour ferry ride into the Pacific Ocean.
Backpacking the final hour into to the camp ground, youth spent four days remote, where they set up and broke down camp tents, completed restoration projects with park rangers, hiked, gardened, cooked, and learned about the islands many plants and animals.
This was the first time many of our youth spent time camping and learning outdoor survival skills, thanks in part to Wes and the generous donations made by
HWM Outdoors
and Outside Magazine readers.
Taking this trip annually, including camping gear, for incoming youth, can be expensive. If you'd like to donate camping items to the Los Angeles Youth Network, contact Raynetta Smith, development and communications manager, at
or (323) 467-8466.
Each year, the Los Angeles Youth Network serves hundreds of youth experiencing some level of trauma outside the classroom.
Many of the homeless and foster youth we serve, lack the basic, needed materials for academic achievement and other areas of development due to homelessness, escaping violence or non-parental support.
For most youth, just
being able to go to school with a new backpack filled with supplies is sometimes all they need to stay on track.
today, you can help the Los Angeles Youth Network set the academic tone for the 2017-2018 school-year, by donating supplies to our Back-to-School drive.
The items listed above,
an be purchased from our
Amazon Wishlist
or dropped off to our administration building, Monday-Friday from
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
You can also make a donation, online, to purchase school supplies, and more.
If you'd like to help give youth the tools they need to learn, visit
the Development Department at
for more information.
Thank you to all our donors who donate year round to support the basic needs of our youth!
The mission of the Los Angeles Youth Network is to empower abused, neglected and homeless adolescents to become self-sufficient.

I spent the last week in the beautiful country of Barbados. I had the opportunity to see new things, try new things, and eat new foods. Everything travel should be! So here goes on the recap:
Day 1
We arrived on Saturday afternoon and were picked up at the airport by the owners of the airbnb we'd rented. If you choose to go the airbnb route for your own trip check them out at Hedge Cottage. They were amazing. My daughter really took to Pauline, colouring pictures for her on a couple of occasions and sitting in the swing with her and chatting.
We basically spent the afternoon settling in and trying to get a little rest to prepare for the next day.
Day 2
Beach day! We went down to Carlisle Bay and went swimming. We also didn't bring enough sun screen so I turned a brilliant shade of red. The water was calm enough for the kids and felt great in the heat. We topped the day off with some snow cones.
Day 3
Harrison's Cave. Also my birthday. I wrote a blog about this previously here.
Day 4
Again to the beach! It's a Caribbean Island, where else are you going to go? I also did the first of my open water dives towards my SCUBA certification. Read about it here.
Day 5
We thought about heading to the wildlife preserve, but hadn't quite figured out how to get there, so instead headed to the edge of Oistins to check out the markets and do a little walking with shirts on. We ended the day at our usual beach because we took the wrong bus back to the area we were staying in.
Day 6
To the Wildlife Preserve! We spent the day visiting the Barbados Wildlife Preserve, to see some of the country's wildlife up close and personal. We checked out the tortoises, birds, deer, and of course the monkeys! The local farmers view the monkeys as pests, but us tourists? We love them!
Day 7
Last full day, and where else would we spend it? The beach of course! I put my daughter in her life jacket and goggles, put on my snorkeling gear, and with her on my back we went out and looked at some of the fish in the bay. My son played in the sand for the most part, but when you're three and you get bowled over by a wave that's taller than you, that's a fair call to make. Afterwards we went and checked out the Friday Fish Fry in Oistins. I've never been a huge fan of fish, but wow. This stuff was good. I ate Swordfish, Barracuda, Marlin, Mahi-Mahi, and Flying Fish. We also got to see some of the largest turtles I've ever seen in my life off the nearby pier. Just an awesome experience all around.
Day 8
Departure. We spent the morning out of the sun and packing. The kids played in the huge yard at Hedge Cottage, and our amazing hosts gave us a ride back to the airport.
To sum it all up, Barbados was an amazing experience. The people were incredibly friendly, at no point did I not feel safe, and the food was excellent! The only real knock on the Island is the large amount of litter that is everywhere. Otherwise the place is great. The sand is soft, the sun is hot, and the water is crystal clear. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
