About Disability
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
To be eligible for SSDI you must have worked 5 of the last 10 years if you are over age 31, and had a payroll FICA tax deduction where 6% of the tax goes towards Social Security programs.
Some basic medical questions you will need to answer include:
- Did your doctor tell you your condition was severe or could cause you to die?
- Is your condition found on the compassionate allowance list?
- Is your condition on the list of impairments on the Social Security website?
- Are you currently working? What are your job responsibilities?
- What is your current monthly income? If you make over a certain amount per month, you may not be considered to be disabled at this time.
You may complete the SSDI application online, by phone, or in person at your local Social Security office.
- You will be responsible for providing your detailed medical history, as well as the names of medical professionals who provided your care.
- Once all of the necessary information is received from the providers you listed on your application, it will be forwarded to the state Disability Determination Services (DDS), who decides if you are eligible to receive SSDI benefits. This process can take between 3-6 months.
- If your claim is denied you have the right to appeal, but the reconsideration process is lengthy and can take up to 2 years.
SSDI beneficiaries have to wait five months after your disability onset date to begin receiving benefits and 24 months after your onset date before Medicare benefits begin.

Proud of my body: Sonam Kapoor lashes out at the media for 'sexist nonsense'
Actor Sonam Kapoor, who's always known for her fashion sense, lashed out at the media on Twitter for their "sexist" reportage of a jumpsuit she wore at an event in Mumbai.bollywood Updated: Mar 04, 2017 16:07 IST
Actor Sonam Kapoor is known for her quirky and experimental sartorial style. In the past, she has owned up to both hits and misses with grace and humour. However, after some news dailies carried reports and pictures focusing on the black Rasario Atelier black jumpsuit she wore at a recent event in Mumbai, the Neerja actor lashed out at the media on Twitter for their "sexist" reportage.
sexist nonsense. The photogs went out of their way to take these pics.. and frankly I don't give a damn,I'm proud of my body! https://t.co/zryjBBYI6B— Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) March 3, 2017
Retweeting a news report that raised the question if she was comfortable in her "bold black dress", Kapoor pointed out that she had also commented on several pertinent issues at the event but that had been ignored by the media who couldn't see beyond her dress. Kapoor's black jumpsuit has huge ruffle straps with a plunging neckline and oversized armholes, but most of the pictures published have deliberately been taken from side angles.
Dear @mid_day @MumbaiMirror I was very comfortable in my outfit. I said a lot of pertinent things,but obv you guys rather report this! https://t.co/LYCogKOb0P— Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) March 3, 2017
The actor found support among the Twitterati, including actors Bhumi Pednekar and Sophie Choudhry.
Thanks Bhooms.. ❤😘 I felt hot as fuck! I hope it wasn't a women writing these headlines.. https://t.co/QuqmCWB3A0— Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) March 3, 2017
Thanks soph... people are gross https://t.co/l7GR3neKdt— Sonam Kapoor (@sonamakapoor) March 3, 2017
Earlier on Saturday, Kapoor tweeted an Instagram link to her Femina interview where she talks about being molested at 13, sexism in Bollywood, how feminism is misunderstood in the industry, among other things.
In her interview, the actor says, ""I was clear if people couldn't see beyond my clothes, it was not my problem—it was theirs. If somebody labels you or calls you a tart for what you're wearing, it's a reflection on them, not you."

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

I downloaded Fantasia from Linuxsampler site and put that into the same folder as .jsampler (gonna ask when you start LS for the first time, you need to create that folder if it doesn't exist). It's a bit of a hassle that it doesn't load Fantasia when you load the plugin in Reaper, you have to do it manually. In Windows it pops right up. You also need Java Runtime to use Fantasia. I wish someone could make a script or something that loads up Fantasia in Reaper.
More info here:
So are you saying that using it in a project will require a manual startup of the frontend every time you load a project that uses Linuxsampler? If that's the case, I'll probably stick with the Windows plugin "Phenome" running in Wine and bridged, but I'd really prefer to get free from all Windows plugins and go 100% native with all Linux based plugins.

The other day, I was walking along Barkley Street in St Kilda, Melbourne, and I noticed this small sign in a shop window.
Month: August 2015
Road trips; or, On being an outsider, or not (#2) (by Dr. Mela Sarkar)
It's late July. Our short and splendid Canadian summer is at its height; I have not been home in Montreal for nearly a month and won't be for nearly another. As I write this, the car ferry called the Chi-Cheemaun ("big canoe" in Ojibway) is taking me from Manitoulin ("of the Great Spirit") Island, at the top of Lake Huron, to Tobermory, ON (a transplanted place name from Scotland). My sister and I are driving back east in the general direction of Toronto, for her, and Montreal, for me, from a family reunion in southern Manitoba.

Project Description
3 ways PDF417 scanning makes your life easier
With Anyline, you can instantly scan PDF417 barcodes.
But what exactly is PDF417? And how does it work?
Put simply, PDF417 is the 2D barcode you mostly find on the documents which get you from A to B – like your driving license, travel tickets, and some visas. Normally it is checked with a PDF417 barcode scanner.
Small but mighty, PDF417 barcodes can store huge amounts of information securely in a few black stripes.
Is it like a PDF document?
Nope! Despite the name, they have nothing to do with the PDF documents we create every day.
So what does 417 stand for then?
The boring answer is that "4 stands for the number of bars and spaces used to encode every character, and 17 means that the total width of these eight bars and spaces is 17 units."
3 times mobile PDF417 scanning saves time and hassle
1. Police stops: In the US, Canada and many countries in Latin America, PDF417 codes are found on the back of all driving licenses. That means that at routine traffic stops, police can check this code to see if a licence is valid, and whether the person they have stopped has any outstanding warrants.
Before, police would need to take licenses to PDF417 reader located in their cars. But with Anyline scanning technology at their fingertips, police can scan licenses with just a cell phone. This saves time for both drivers and police officers, who can spend their time and energy on more important work.
2. Tickets: If you're sitting in the departure lounge at the airport, or waiting for your bus or train, there's a good chance you have a PDF417 in your hand. Maybe you're in the queue outside a venue, waiting to see your favourite band? PDF417 gets you in the door, and onboard.
Before, companies needed to buy expensive PDF417 barcode scanner to check every ticket. But Anyline's mobile scanning technology does away with these – now you do it right from your smartphone!
3. Posting packages and inventory: PDF417 barcodes don't just send people where they want to go, but stuff too! If you use companies like FedEx, or the US postal service, PDF417 is the go-to barcode for postage.
Even if you are just moving things around the warehouse or factory floor, it's all too easy for important items to go astray. That's why using PDF417 barcodes are a great way to keep track of your inventory.
What's the difference between PDF417 and QR codes?
You can find square QR codes everywhere these days: on posters, in magazines, even on business cards! QR codes are great for marketing , and getting you to the information you need quickly.
But what separates PDF417 from QR codes is their capacity. PDF417 can store over 1.1 kilobytes of machine-readable data, so they are significantly more powerful than other 2D barcodes.
No need for expensive PDF417 scanners
If you are looking for PDF417 scanning solutions, there is no need for expensive new hardware. Our scanning technology works on all smart devices, including Android, iPhones and more, and can be easily integrated into existing apps.
Anyline is a Gartner Cool Vendor
Gartner, the world wide research institute famous for creating the hype cycle model to predict the maturity of emerging technologies, named Anyline as a Cool Vendor for supply chain execution in 2018.
Gartner Cool Vendors exist across all major areas of technology innovation. Those that stand out, do so because they offer some disruptive capability or opportunity. Anyline has been listed as a Cool Vendor because of their mobile OCR technology. This technology is backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide the most accurate scan possible.
"This is a huge success for us. Gartner are one of the best known research institutes in the tech industry.

Growing enterprises around the world rely on the analysis and reports they provide to choose only the best service providers. To be recognized by them is to receive the gold standard of approval within our field."
– Anyline CEO, Lukas Kinigadner.

Timo Andres 🔊 (b. 1985, Palo Alto, CA) is a composer and pianist who grew up in rural Connecticut and lives in Brooklyn, NY. A Nonesuch Records artist, his album of orchestral works, Home Stretch, has been hailed for its "playful intelligence and individuality," (The Guardian) and of his 2010 debut album for two pianos Shy and Mighty (performed by himself and duo partner David Kaplan), Alex Ross wrote in The New Yorker that "it achieves an unhurried grandeur that has rarely been felt in American music since John Adams came on the scene… more mighty than shy, [Andres] sounds like himself."
Notable works include Everything Happens So Much for the Boston Symphony with Andris Nelsons; Strong Language, a string quartet for the Takács Quartet, commissioned by Carnegie Hall and the Shriver Hall Concert Series; Steady Hand, a two-piano concerto commissioned by the Britten Sinfonia and premiered at the Barbican with Andres and pianist David Kaplan; and The Blind Banister, a piano concerto for Jonathan Biss, which was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize Finalist.
As a pianist, Timo Andres has appeared with the LA Phil, North Carolina Symphony, the Britten Sinfonia, the Albany Symphony, New World Symphony, and in many collaborations with Andrew Cyr and Metropolis Ensemble. He has performed solo recitals for Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, San Francisco Performances, the Phillips Collection, and (le) Poisson Rouge. Among others, Andres has collaborated with Ted Hearne, Becca Stevens, Jeffrey Kahane, Gabriel Kahane, Brad Mehldau, Nadia Sirota, the Kronos Quartet, the LA Dance Project, John Adams, and Philip Glass, with whom he has performed the complete Glass Etudes around the world, and who selected Andres as the recipient of the City of Toronto Glenn Gould Protégé Prize in 2016.
Recent and upcoming projects include a new work for the Calder Quartet commissioned by the LA Phil, premièred at Noon to Midnight; a major choral-orchestral work for the Orchester Cottbus Staatstheater, Land Mass; orchestrations for Sufjan Stevens and New York City Ballet for Justin Peck's Principia; and dates at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Neue Galerie, and the Big Ears Festival with vocalist Theo Bleckmann. In November 2019, Andres curates (and performs in) "American Perspective," a concert with the Cincinnati Symphony, André de Ridder, Dance Heginbotham, and cellist Inbal Segev, playing his concerto, Upstate Obscura. In April 2020, Carnegie Hall presents him in a piano recital at Zankel Hall, playing works by himself, John Adams, Nico Muhly, Robin Holcomb, Philip Glass, Donnacha Dennehy, Louis Andriessen, and the world premiere of a commissioned work by Gabriella Smith.
Timo Andres earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the Yale School of Music. He is a Yamaha/Bösendorfer Artist and in 2018 joined the composition faculty at Mannes School of Music.

Sage and Thyme: Cases of Teacher Affective Disposition Through the Lens of Reflective Transphenomenality
Publication Date
Document Type
Conference Proceeding
Proceedings of the 41th Annual Meeting of the Research Council on Mathematics Learning 2014. pp 72-79.
Utilizing survey/case study research, middle school mathematics teachers' self-positioning is challenged by positioning-by-others (student) revealing simultaneous transphenomenality as a manifestation of complexity of the main construct of the study – teacher affective disposition. Simultaneity of transphenomenality that reflects "events or phenomena that exist or operate at the same time" (Davis, 2005, p.14) was recognizable in the dynamic and multifaceted nature of disposition which contributed to emergent and shifting mathematical disposition. Fluidity in teacher positioning, measured by multiple instruments, toward mathematics teaching and learning was representative of metamorphoses between teacher-as-engineer and teacher-as-technician and resultant student disposition toward mathematics.

A bluish discoloration near your nails could be dangerous. One should always consult a plastic surgeon when such an appearance is noticed. If not treated in time these small tumors can turn into a major disease and could be dangerous. Plastic Surgeon Dr. Anupam Golash says, "Issues like this can be treated with a small surgery. If not treated in time it may harm your hand and your hand may stop responding. Sarita Devi (Name Changed) got a small cut on her finger, while chopping vegetables. She wasn't aware that this can actually lead to a tumor. Then, one day when her fingers suddenly stopped responding, she visited the Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Anupam Golash, who treated her. After the surgery, her fingers slowly started responding".
"Call me a Plastic Surgeon and not Cosmetic Surgeon" quotes Dr. Golash, who has treated several complex cases. Like the time he gave a new lease of life to a child by attaching back his severed hand. And when he restored the sensation in the right hand of a young man, who lost it in a road accident. Dr. Golash explained "the man was suffering from brachial plexus injury in which nerves near spinal cords are affected which leads to loss of feeling or movement in arms. People are still not aware of the treatments done through Plastic Surgery. Most of the spine related problems which happen after accidents can be treated by a Plastic Surgeon. Also, severed fingers can be joined back to the hand, if the patient is brought in time to a Plastic Surgeon."
Dr. Golash, who is renowned for his work not just in Kolkata but also in nearby towns and neighbouring states, bemoans "these days Plastic Surgeons gain fame as Cosmetic Surgeons, which actually shouldn't be the case."

full-length stage play
written by Timothy X Atack
This is the story of a photograph.
London, present day. World famous photographer Kim Deacon is engaged in a high-profile shoot with movie star Abbi Velasquez as her subject. Both are notoriously single-minded and have different ideas of what they want from the day's work. Rumours of Abbi's pernickety nature and lack of patience precede her, whereas the blunt, northern Deacon enjoys accident, improvisation and experiment. Caught in between: Samantha – a novice PA to Miss Velasquez, frazzled and scared; Deacon's perpetually silent studio assistant, Bennett; and Jarmandine, a stylist ostensibly from Brixton – but who actually seems to be from another planet entirely. What emerges resembles a Western face-off with a camera between the combatants.
Played out in real time from set-up of equipment to wrap, this is a drama where stories spin out from technical procedures… where the light and shade of a working studio produces a strange catharsis for the characters, leading to soul-searching, the puncturing of egos, and the dredging up of ghosts from the past.
Janet Gaynor is a full length stageplay available for production. It is written for a cast of 5 women. If you're interested producing the work, please get in touch.

iOS 7: Flat Means CleanerJune 4th, 2013
In releasing an iPhone and iPad app for the forthcoming WWDC, Apple may be offering a front and center preview of the new "flatter" interface for iOS 7 touted in recent press speculations. At least if you can regard this new app as a harbinger of things to come very, very soon.
By the way, I'll ignore an alleged leaked image of an iOS 7 home screen for now.
The WWDC app is available free from the App Store, but you won't see all the features unless you sign in as a developer. But there are screen shots aplenty online, and I spent a short amount of face time with the app on a third generation iPad to see what has changed.
Assuming this app represents Apple's forthcoming direction in iOS, and I see little reason not to accept that as a high probability, you won't be seeing flat tiles in the fashion of Windows 8. The changes are subtle. There are gradients within buttons as there were before, but the effect is subtler, classier. Icon labels appear to be more sharply defined. Where less is more, Apple appears to have succeeded admirably, and done so in a way that doesn't alter the iOS user experience. That's something Microsoft has yet to learn, and it may explain why there are now published reports that CEO Steve Ballmer is working on a major restructuring of the company. Well, better late than never.
Returning to the iOS interface, some suggest the recently revised Podcasts app was another key example of how Apple will tone things down. Gone are the reel-to-reel tape effects, and in their place are simple controls to find, add and play your favorite shows. Maybe that was step one; the WWDC app continues the simplification process, but in smart way.
This, of course, won't be the first visual refresh for iOS, although it will likely be more drastic than before. For example, those controversial skeuomorphic elements, such as the ones you saw in Podcasts, Contacts, Calendar, and others, are expected to be history. Such designs may have made sense in the early days of the original Mac. Everything was new and different then, and iOS simply carried part of that tradition to mobile devices. But it's time to move on.
Curiously, and despite all the serious flaws, Microsoft also realized that it was time for traditional user interfaces, such as the one they "borrowed" from the Mac, to change in some fashion. Their approach, however, was schizophrenic, with one layer all new, and one layer based on the traditional Windows look and feel. No wonder customers are confused. At least Windows 8.1 will have an option to boot directly to the desktop to bypass the mess formerly known as Metro. This move may indeed be a last-ditch effort to attract a decent number of business customers.
I also expect Apple to keep the changes in OS 10.9 relatively subtle in the scheme of things. As with iOS, you should be able to use a Mac the same way you always have, but the look and feel will be simpler and more consistent. It will probably not be near as drastic as some of the tech pundits are suggesting, and that is Apple's way. It's also a lesson well learned.
Some of you no doubt recall when Apple bought Steve Jobs' NeXT in 1996. The initial attempt to create a Mac user interface, Rhapsody, was demonstrated in 1997 and seemed more NeXT than Mac. Developers balked at having to seriously restructure their apps to support an unproven operating system.
Apple's compromise, Aqua, was a beautified version of the traditional Mac OS with some notable changes, such as the Dock. But it was still Mac-like, and there was a Classic feature that allowed you to run Mac OS 9 in its own application window, so you'd be able to use most of your existing apps until they were ported to OS X. To simplify the process, Apple came up with Carbon, a refined set of Mac APIs that made the migration process easier.
In essentially redoing what became OS X, Apple learned a lesson that they cannot just throw out the tried and true when it came to user interfaces. They had to tread carefully. Even baby steps have consequences, and in the scheme of things, bringing over iOS features to Lion and Mountain Lion didn't seriously alter the Mac look and feel. But such features as natural scrolling, and mouseover activated scrollbars remain controversial, although both features can be disabled in System Preferences.
I am also eager to see how Apple presents the expected interface changes at the WWDC. Will they make a huge deal, or simply state that they have simplified the look and feel to make it easier for OS X and iOS users to get things done? There will still have to be loads of significant new features to make the upgrades worthwhile, although other companies would rest their laurels on the form, forgetting the substance.
In any case, it is good to see that the WWDC app doesn't make changes that alter iOS usability. A little can go a long way.

Vietnam veterans and members of Moree RSL sub-branch, John Williams and Cr John Tramby with the plaque honouring Max Wales at the Max Wales Memorial Park, where Saturday's service will be held.
Exactly 50 years ago to the day,August 18 1966, 108 young Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought and defeated anarmy of 2500 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers, upholding the Anzac legend in a battle that would go down in the history books as one of the most significant in the Vietnam War.
"There were bigger battles andbigger casualties but never had so few defeated so many," Moree RSL sub-branch member and Vietnam veteranJohn Tramby said.
Moree RSL sub-branch will be holding a commemorative service to mark the 50thanniversary of the Battle of Long Tan on Saturday, August 20, beginning at 3.30pm, roughly the same time the battle began in torrential downpour in 1966.
Outnumbered 25 to 1 and finding themselves short of ammunition, D Company 6RAR managed to inflict heavy losses to the enemy, who eventually retreated after the arrival of A Company reinforcements in the night.
Eighteen Australians were killed, and 24 wounded in the battle,compared to the 245 North Vietnamese casualties.Moree's Max Wales was one of those killed in the battle.
Local Vietnam veteran John Williams said the Battle of Long Tan shaped the rest of the war in many ways.
"They ran out of ammunition, but that was the last time that would ever happen," he said.
"Now, you carry a lot more than that.I used to carry 200 rounds for machine guns, 400 rounds for armalite.It's an awful lot of weight."
In addition to soldiers carrying more ammunition,there was always a reaction force ready to go from then on.
The community is invited to attend Saturday's service and pay tribute to Max Walesand the other 108 soldiers who fought at Long Tan, as well as allthose who served intheVietnam War, including Moree's Ronald Thomas Carroll whose body was only recently returned to Australia.
The Moree Town Band and choir will be part of the service, whichwill includewreath-laying and a speech by Mr Williams. Everyone is invited to stay for tea and coffee at the conclusion.

WASHINGTON — The White House is attempting an awkward straddle as Congress debates resolutions critical of the Iraq war, determined to avoid a repudiation of President Bush, yet reluctant to lobby too aggressively for fear of triggering a Republican backlash.
Bush's "ability to sway votes on issues like this has been severely diminished," says Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and a supporter of the president's troop buildup. "I don't think people are going to cheerlead now."
At least a half-dozen Republican senators appear ready to vote for a nonbinding measure critical of Bush's decision to deploy an additional 21,500 troops. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he told the president after one recent White House meeting that he "didn't see the need for more troops. I raised my concerns, and he listened."
Some encourage full-court press
In the House, GOP leaders concede there will be defections next week when a vote is scheduled on a measure expressing disapproval of the troop increase.
It's a sign of the change in relations between congressional Republicans and the administration after nearly four years of war, the deaths of more than 3,000 U.S. military personnel and the midterm elections that gave Democrats control of the House and Senate.
In the past, the White House has been far more public in making its wishes known, as it did aggressively last fall when top officials lobbied hard to resist congressional efforts to impose strict limits on detainee interrogations. Even now, some Republicans say the president should weigh in more strenuously on Iraq. Video: Hadley discusses U.S. commitment in Iraq
"I've encouraged them to put the full-court press on," said Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Ill. "This is a big issue, and they have a big stake in the outcome."
Yet some other lawmakers and senior aides say public arm-twisting could spark a backlash.
Instead, the president has lobbied lawmakers in private. At a party retreat last week, Bush told about two-dozen Republican senators - some considering backing a bipartisan measure rejecting the troop increase - that the world was watching them. At a recent House gathering, Bush said he respected lawmakers' oversight rights on the war. He met with one group of skeptical House Republicans in the White House Situation Room, where they could safely air disagreements over classified material.
Breaking out Petraeus
Vice President Dick Cheney, who has often played the role of party disciplinarian on key votes, has generally refrained from speaking up at weekly closed-door Senate GOP lunches, according to senators in attendance.
Instead, the newly confirmed commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, and National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley have taken the lead. Sen. George V. Voinovich, R-Ohio, a critic of the troop increase, said he spent 40 minutes talking with Petraeus about his concerns. Hadley was made available to House Republicans last month to hear their misgivings about the president's plan.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"This is a nonbinding resolution where people are trying to speak their minds on an issue, and it's appropriate to let them go ahead and work through it," said Tony Snow, the White House spokesman. "This is not something where the White House is in a position - or ought to be in a position - to try to tell people exactly how they ought to frame it."
The administration's legislative team has kept close tabs on Republican sentiment on the war, though, laboring to head off a bipartisan repudiation of Bush's policy.
Senate Republican leaders "know they don't want a rebuke of the president. They've let it be known what they wanted," said Don Stewart, a top aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader.
Some Democrats said they saw the fingerprints of the White House on the Iraq debate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada charged that Republicans who voted this week to block swift action on the measure opposing the troop increase did so as a favor to Bush.
"Their stalling is helping the president, because the president, of course, is involved in this backroom negotiation," Reid said.
But Graham questioned how effective Bush was. "We're concerned about embarrassing the president, but right now members' concerns are more parochial," he said.

Coca-Cola can be used for many cleaning tasks around the home, even removing gum from hair. This is a guide about using Coca-Cola for removing bubble gum in hair.
I have a 5 year old niece who keeps chewing bubble gum and last week it got stuck in her hair. First reaction, I have to cut the gum out of her hair. But my little girl didn't want to cut her hair, because she wanted to be Queen Elsa of Frozen. So here is what I did; simply take a Coca Cola soft drink and pour it on the portion hair with the bubble gum. Let it soak for 2 minutes. This removed the gum easily. Great work again Cola!

Dishwasher fire prompts St Albans dad to go on bike ride for Fire Fighters Charity
PUBLISHED: 15:00 17 May 2016 | UPDATED: 16:52 17 May 2016
photo supplied
When Jason Taylor suddenly received a call from the police on his daughter's mobile phone, he was immediately worried.
The 41 year old became even more concerned when the constable revealed the purpose of his call – a dishwasher in Jason's house in St Albans was ablaze and firefighters were at the scene.
The dad has spoken to the Herts Advertiser about the alarming incident, to both warn others against leaving dishwashers on when they leave their homes, and to publicise a fundraising bike ride he is undertaking in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity, to show his gratitude for the emergency service.
Jason explained that on July 23 last year his wife, Sarah, put the dishwasher on after lunch and took the couple's children out to enjoy the sunshine at the park as it was the first day of their summer holidays.
He added: "My mobile rang, and it was my daughter's phone but it was a man's voice saying 'hello, this is PC Kirby.' He said he was at my house, where he had seen the mobile phone, and I asked 'what are you doing there?'
"He said he was there with the fire brigade – I was in the middle of the office and I swore quite loudly! He explained there had been a fire and he kind of played it down, saying there had been a bit of damage to the kitchen."
It later transpired that the family's neighbours, who are in their 80s, were alerted to the blaze by smoke alarms in the Taylors' detached home in Sandpit Lane, St Albans.
After also seeing thick black smoke billowing from the chimney, they phoned Herts Fire and Rescue.
But they were initially more concerned about the family's safety, as they had also spotted a car parked in their driveway and were unaware that the children had been taken to the park.
According to a spokesman for Herts Fire and Rescue Service, from the time of the call it was just seven minutes before fire engines arrived at the address.
Firefighters found the house "heavily smoke logged" and two sets of breathing apparatus were needed while the crew fought the blaze. Within 20 minutes of the 999 call, the fire was extinguished.
Jason said that to a certain degree luck was on their side as, because all the windows were closed, the fire was unable to spread throughout the rest of the houses and, "it could have been a lot worse".
His message to others is to "never leave your washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher on when you go to bed or leave the house".
The Taylors' Hoover dishwasher, which was only a few years old, ended up causing damage to the kitchen, while the remainder of the house suffered smoke and soot damage.
Jason said: "We lost a lot of contents down to soot damage, but the house itself survived. It cost us six months, because we had to leave the house while work was carried out.
"I'll always be grateful for the efforts of the firefighters. Their actions saved the structure and limited the damage done."
He said that as saying "thank you doesn't seem enough I wanted to raise money [but] I didn't want to do something trivial".
So he has been busy training to cycle 300 miles from London to Paris in aid of the Fire Fighters Charity, which helps improve the quality of life for serving and retired fire service personnel.

Visiting the Rosenberg Palace while in the middle of reading Rose Tremain's "Silence and Music" had to be one of the most truly enchanting experiences in terms of bringing a book to life. In quiet corners I could picture her characters inhabiting the grandness.
Perhaps he's trying to tell us something? (more…)
Sunday, May 20th, 2018
For years I'd been yearning to visit the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen. I've always felt it's pull, a calling almost, from a kindred spirit of another time. It exceeded all my greatest expectations and came away inspired and also mildly depressed I did not live in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen. To tell the truth, I feel like that when I visit any good museum.

May Athlete of the Month - Bianca Ouedraogo
Published May 1, 2018
Hi! My name is Bianca Ouedraogo, previously known as Bianca Robinson, aka Bee. I am 29 years old. I was born and raised here in Oceanside, CA. I have been married to my husband, Serge, for 2 1/2 years and we have a 16-month-old son, Francisco.
Growing up I was never really into fitness, but I definitely was exposed to it with my dad being in the military and my mom being a runner. My mom put me in recreational sports to keep me busy while my dad was stationed away from us. I did dance for six years and martial arts for two years. Sophomore year of high school I was invited to try out for the swim team and boy was I excited because I loved swimming. Little did I know at the time recreational swimming was NOT the same as lap swimming. I stuck with it for two years, but decided it was not my thing simply because I am not a competitive person. Just thinking about competing gives me knots in my stomach. I was pretty much in tears prior to every meet. The highest I ever placed was fourth out of eighth place and I was super proud, but definitely came to the realization that competing was just not for me. I was never a fast swimmer but was consistent with my technique.
One day I made the decision that I wanted to lose weight. I told my mom my goals and she said she would help me get to where I wanted to be. She took me to an all women's gym called Elite For Women. There is where my obsession for fitness began. I became the person that would schedule their work and school schedule around the gym's schedule. My mom and I would take spin and body pump classes together 6-7 times a week. In order to continue to guide me in the right direction my mom thought it would be best for me to work with a personal trainer, Robbie Schulz.
Robbie was my gateway to Crossfit. In our training sessions she would ask me to do what I thought was the impossible from running a mile to jumping on a box (I honestly thought she was crazy when she asked me to jump on a box for the first time). We managed to make do with the limitations we had, mainly lack of equipment. For one of our sessions she asked me to meet her at "The Box," aka OCF, so we would have access to the equipment that we needed. I remember walking in and feeling intimated, even with no one there (we were there during off hours). We started our session and we were focusing on one specific lift. During the middle of the session in walked Laura (the owner of the gym) and instantly I became even more nervous. She looked like a badass in every way possible and here was little me not knowing what I was doing. As soon as she started talking to me I right away felt at home. She gave me some tips and even let me try out her lifting shoes. I left feeling more at ease, more confident, and just wanting to be more like Laura, a badass.
Not too long after visiting OCF for the first time, Elite For Women shut down with no notice. My mom and I felt abandoned with nowhere to go because that gym was like our second home. After some thought, I asked her if she would be willing to try out Crossfit with me. At first, she was hesitant because she didn't think she was capable, but after some convincing, she decided to give it a shot and bring my dad along. The Robinson family became members of OCF in 2008 or 2009.
OCF has been a big part of my life for the past 9-10 years (1/3 of my life). I have made many accomplishments, both fitness and personal, with OCF having my back and being a support system. After joining OCF I pushed myself beyond my limits just to say that I can do it. I have done the Triple Crown (Carlsbad full marathon, La Jolla half marathon, and Balboa half marathon), mud runs, triathlons, and one Crossfit competition. Each of these events I did with at least one other OCF member at the time. Also, OCF helped me get through getting both my Bachelor's and Master's Degree. I actually went through the Master's program with another OCF member who became a very close friend of mine. Without OCF I wouldn't have had a place to decompress and take out all my stresses. It also helped that the members truly cared and would ask me for updates with school and about my plans for the future.
What I like most about OCF is the camaraderie and the accountability among the community. One of the best feelings is sucking wind alongside one of your gym buddies knowing you are not enduring the pain (the good type of pain) alone. Sometimes getting to the box is not the easiest thing to do, but knowing that you have someone expecting you to be at the box (you tend to workout with the same group of people depending on the time you go) and willing to push and motivate you helps tremendously. Even if the person next to you is done with the workout you will usually find them surrounding you, screaming your name at the top of their lungs, and reminding you it is almost over. Not only that but the OCF members are committed and stick together as a community. When I ran the Carlsbad marathon one of the ladies that signed up with me had moved to New Mexico. She made sure to fly back for the marathon, so we could run it together. That is just a small sample of what OCF is all about.
I have to thank OCF for being a place that gave me and my parents something to bond over. To be able to workout next to my parents was a gift. We had a lot of memorable moments and laughs together in the box, which I believe helped us to have the strong relationship and bond we have today.
Throughout the years members have come and gone at OCF, but the friendships last beyond the box. OCF is more than just a place to work out. It's a place to build lifetime friendships and relationships. Thank you to everyone at OCF who has impacted my life and guided me in the right direction to success.

Zoo – 2nd try
It's for the baby
Whenever Zach comes across anything too small for him or anything he perceives as a baby toy, he says "I give this to the baby." The other day I was stuffing his big head into a shirt that might have been a tad bit too small in the neck and Zach started yelling "Its for the baby! Its for the baby!" while stuck inside. I had to stop laughing long enough to force that head on through and tell him that after today, the shirt would be for the baby.
Honeybees say Buzzzz
Countdown is On
Today is my last days of work and we only have 3 more weeks until Baby Wall arrives!
Alex and I went to the doc on Monday for our final ultrasound and the baby looks huge. It is not, but considering the last time we saw him/her on the monitor his/her tiny body filled the screen. Now it just the head. Taking up the entire space. I am highly thankful I am having another C-section.
Per the measurements taken by the ultrasound tech, the baby is measuring a good week/two weeks ahead. I can confirm this by my excessive girth. With that info in hand, we decided to schedule the birth for July 7th. And by 'we' I mean Alex and I. Actually really just Alex. He had it all worked out – the 7th is far enough from the 4th to not have to share the holiday but I don't want to be in the hospital over the weekend if at all possible and the 7th is a Thursday so I will be home by Sunday.
When my doc came in to see us I told her that we had a date and were ready to schedule the surgery. Here is how the conversation went:
Me: "Hi Dr. Faro! So I need to go ahead and schedule my C-section and we have a date picked out."
Alex: "Kinsey! Isn't the doctor supposed to tell us when we will schedule the due date?"
Dr. Faro (as she leans around me to look at Alex): "Usually. But with your wife, no."
Back to me she says: "So tell me when you want to have this baby?"
I love her.
Baby Wall was not cooperating with a profile or 3D picture but we did get this super cute (though fuzzy) image of him/her grabbing its foot. Being the carrier, I do not appreciate this type of movement as this baby moves all.the.time and big movements, like the one below. Reassuring, yes. Comfortable, no.

First, we are thrilled to say that the party for the end of our lustrum year is coming up! The 10th of December we will count the stars together during NYX Superheroes in Studio Dependance as from 21.26. So, put on your best Superhero suit and join us!
we would like to give you an update about the things we did, the past few weeks. During the Lustrum activity we went to 'Strand Binnen', where an Expedition Robinson game waited for us. We built huts, tested our endurance and our brain with crazy games. Thereafter we went to 'de Markt' to have a lovely tapas dinner. It was a all you can eat dinner, so the table was filled all the time with different Spanish dishes. And since the girls of NYX love food, this was a perfect closing of the day. Many thanks to Marjolein and Lieske for organising this activity.
It is not a secret anymore that we like drinking beer. And that we can do it quick is not so strange either. But who could have thought that we would win the second price during 'Vigeo's beer relay'. Louise, Carmen, Kim and Marjolein represented our Sorority and they beat many teams, even male teams! We could not be more proud of them. We won a dinner voucher of €40,- for 'de Markt'.
So many student associations, sororities and fraternities are throwing parties all year long. And off course, we cannot stay away! We went to Proud to be Fout of SV 't KAG, we put on our strangest clothes and welcomed the new board. We went to the pub-crawl of SV Xenia, where we showed our home bar Studio Dependance to all the new Xenia members. The gentleman of HD Brutus threw a party that same night, so we went to Peddels as well to have a beer with them. The next week was very busy, we went to Inana's Wies'n, to the party of DD Chique, and to International Boss day of Fraternity Palto. Two weeks later, we were invited for Boerkes Bierfeest of HD Heeren 69. We played Beerpong and we drunk some special beers. We tried again to beat some more sororities and fraternities during the beer relay of DD Dylectus, unfortunately we were not as trained as we were the last beer race.

Model: A1Pro
Made in Sweden
Knife Description:
There are Survival Knives, and there are Survival Knives for Professional Survival. Our A1 has provided exceptional service for more than twenty years and due to its outstanding quality and durability will continue to do so for many years to come. Nevertheless our desire to strive for continual improvement has led us to develop the new Pro Series which takes the concept of the Survival Knife to unimaginable heights of quality.
We began developing these impressive new knives in 2010 and five years later, we're able to offer three new Survival Knives, F1, S1 and A1 which set the Benchmark for Survival Knife manufacture the world over – the Fallkniven Pro Series. To put it simply a knife is a Blade and a Handle.
But if this vital Tool is to remain strong and stay sharp, you have to add fairly decent materials. If you then claim to call a knife "professional", you take on a responsibility to the user to raise the bar above what is normal. Taking this responsibility seriously, Fallkniven has made a number of improvements found here in the "Pro Series".
The first difference is the use of Laminated Cobalt Steel instead of the traditional laminated VG10 used in its predecessors which ensures a durable edge and greater Edge Retention. The Blades are now even thicker to withstand greater external forces and feature a cross guard permanently mounted to the tang. The tapered tang is now wider and thick adding to the overall strength of this knife.
The Zytel Sheath has been redesigned to be more durable and better suited for the MOLLE Attachment System.
Each A1Pro Knife is also supplied with Fallkniven's DC4 Combination Whetstone, which offers both a diamond whetstone and ceramic stone for field sharpening. Last but not least is the shock-resistant, waterproof Storage Box that can be used to store the knife or other survival gear.
Understandably these knives fall into a higher price category. However, considering the unparalleled quality they are by no means overpriced. A professional Survival Knife should be able to be relied upon in the All-weather and we really mean all weather. It should also be pleasant, safe and comfortable to handle whether it's fine or rough work, summer heat or winter cold. We have considered everything in the design of this quite superb knife and we, therefore, offer a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.
The safe, comfortable Suregrip Thermorun Handle, together with an extremely hard and resilient special laminated CoS Steel, means that the knife can be used for all kinds of normal - but also demanding - work.
Technical Specifications:
NDUR Folding Hand Shovel with Sheath - 71050
Svord Deluxe 5 1/2" Curved Boning Knife with Walnut Handle - 310BNG
