text: Members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Bahrain hold various positions of power in parliament, security services, and judicial bodies [Reuters] Bahrain's Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa has called the Muslim Brotherhood movement a "terrorist" group, amid an ongoing Gulf diplomatic crisis in which four countries severed diplomatic ties with Qatar. Last month Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt cut ties with Qatar - accusing it of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and harbouring "terrorism" in the region. Qatar has strongly denied the charges. The foreign ministers of the four states convened in Cairo on Wednesday after receiving Doha's response to the list of demands earlier this week. Speaking at the news conference after the meeting, Khalid bin Ahmed said that the Muslim Brotherhood movement "shed the blood" of Egyptian people and had "conspired against our states". "We consider the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group and anyone who shows sympathy with them will be tried on this basis," Khalid bin Ahmed said. READ MORE: Can Qatar-Gulf rift be repaired? A Muslim Brotherhood newspaper based in Bahrain rejected the minister's statement on the group. The weekly al-Nabaa paper said: "Nations are only concerned with inciting segments of society, and describing them in an unacceptable way. "Allowing them to attack, provoke, and undermine society under these circumstances is very strange, and serves only the enemies of the country who do not have its best interest at heart. The attacks refer to patriotic segments of the Bahraini society. "How can such disrespect and slander be allowed to continue under delicate and sensitive circumstances engulfing the region," it added, without explicitly referring to the Gulf crisis. The paper went on to emphasise its support for the Bahraini ruling family, and asserted its willingness to back it up in the face of a popular uprising. Saudi-led demands not 'reasonable or actionable'- Qatar The foreign minister's words are a far cry from his previous statements on the Muslim Brotherhood movement. After the Saudi decision to classify the group as a "terrorist" one, Khalid bin Ahmed stated that the Muslim Brotherhood branch in Bahrain enjoyed a "special status" unlike the state of its peers in Egypt and other Gulf countries, and praised the role of the group in the preservation of civil peace. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Bahrain hold various positions of power in parliament, security services, and judicial bodies, for which Bahrain has been widely criticised. Twitter users across the region were quick to respond to Khalid bin Ahmed's remarks. وزيرالخارجيه البحريني يقول ان اي شخص يتعاطف مع الاخوان المسلمين سيحاكم بتهمه الاٍرهاب ولا اعرف كيف سيحاكم بعض أعضاء برلمان بلاده لأنهم اخوان — Saleh Almarri (@Salmarri02) July 6, 2017 Translation: The Bahraini foreign minister says that anyone who symphathises with the Muslim Brotherhood will be charged with terrorism. I don't know how some members of his country's parliament will be tried since they are MB. وزير خارجية البحرين : الإخوان المسلمون جماعة إرهابية ومن ينتمي إليها سيحاكم !!! شعبك ٦٠٪ شيعة و ٢٠٪ اخوان .. انت خبل ؟؟؟؟؟ — ديناصور الكويت🇰🇼 (@Kuwait_okk) July 5, 2017 Translation: Bahraini FM: The Muslim Brotherhood are a terrorist group and whoever is affiliated with them will be charged. 60% of your population is Shia, 20% are MB ... are you demented???? And a Bahrain-based user questioned the motives behind Khalid bin Ahmed's speech. هل ستكون هناك إجراءات قانونية ضد أخوان المسلمين في البحرين وضد من يتضامن معهم ؟ أم أنه خطاب إعلامي فقط؟ pic.twitter.com/n84v4XmjnI — أحمد المديني (@ALMADINI2012) July 5, 2017 Will be there legal ramifications against the Muslim Brotherhood in Bahrain and all those who support them? Or is this just a speech for media? In a joint statement made on Wednesday at a news conference in Egypt's capital, the boycotting nations said that Qatar's response to their 13-point list of demands was "not serious". The demands included Doha ending its support for the Muslim Brotherhood, and severing ties with Saudi Arabia's rival, Iran. Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has accused the boycotting states of undermining the country's sovereignty. SOURCE: Al Jazeera News Middle East Bahrain

Once-admiring Americans decry today's Canada
TheStar.com – Opinion/Commentary – A new Harvard study charts Canada's transformation from a model of refugee protection to a closely guarded bastion.
Dec 05 2013. By: Carol Goar
Canada craves attention in the United States — but not this kind.
The Harvard Law School's immigrant and refugee clinic has just completed a comprehensive examination of refugee treatment in Canada. Its researchers were taken aback by what they found. "Canada is systematically closing its borders to asylum seekers and failing in its refugee protection obligations under domestic and international law," they concluded.
This will not come as a surprise to Canadians. Since 2006, Stephen Harper's government has been incrementally tightening Canada's borders and turning away increasing numbers of refugee claimants from countries with abysmal human rights records. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the pace accelerated sharply.
A succession of immigration and public safety ministers has insisted that Canada cannot afford to be a patsy or a chink in North America's security armour.
The Harvard study echoes the concerns of their critics; refugee groups, human rights advocates, churches, charities and immigration lawyers. It reinforces their anecdotal evidence with rigorous academic analysis and strong language.
"This report points to an alarming trend," said Deborah Anker, a professor at Harvard Law School and director of the Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinic. "For decades, Canada was known for its generosity in refugee protection and served as a model that raised the standards of refugee protection worldwide, especially in the United States."
Now, according to the 115-page study, the northern beacon has gone out.
"We hope this report serves as a wake-up call for Canada and the United States," added Efrat Arbel, a graduate of Harvard Law School's doctoral program and co-author of the report.
Rather than look at individual cases or statistical trends as refugee advocates on this side of the border do, the Harvard scholars zeroed in on the policies Ottawa has used to transform Canada from a welcoming nation to an inhospitable bastion. They pinpointed three:
- The first was the 2004 Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, which prevents asylum seekers who came to the U.S. first — even if they had a connecting flight connection to Canada — to make a refugee claim in this country. Since it was enacted, the number of claimants who reach the Canadian border has fallen precipitously.
- The second was the Multiple Borders Strategy, unveiled in 2002. It empowers Ottawa to use extraterritorial means to intercept unwanted migrants, preferably in their country of origin. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) posts "liaison officers" in strategic offshore locations (principally airports) to block asylum seekers from boarding planes or boats bound for Canada. Part of their job is to enlist third-party carriers — airlines, railways and shipping companies — to reject passengers without proper documentation. None of these operations fall within the scope of theUnited Nations Convention on Refugees or Canadian law.
- The third was the imposition of visa restrictions on countries producing large numbers of refugee claimants. Ottawa recently used this tactic to choke off refugee flows from Mexico and the Czech Republic.
All these measures were enacted before Harper's prime ministership. But his government has expanded them, intensified them and enforced them more rigidly than ever before. It has hired gatekeepers who understand that their role is to discourage claimants.
"Practitioners on both sides of the border described a prevailing attitude of suspicion and hostility, wherein asylum seekers are regularly demeaned and dismissed," the investigators were told by human rights workers in Buffalo-Fort Erie, Champlain-Lacolle, Detroit-Windsor and Blaine-White Rock.
They asked to speak to representatives of Canadian Border Services and Citizenship and Immigration. Their requests were turned down.
"While Canada has a valid interest in regulating its borders to ensure refugee protection is reserved only for genuine refugee, neither the Safe Third Country Agreement nor the Multiple Borders Strategy effectively serves this interest," they concluded. "Instead they deter, deflect and block asylum seekers from lawfully making refugees claims in arbitrary and unprincipled ways."
The Harvard study does a better job of charting Canada's metamorphosis from a sanctuary for people fleeing violent persecution to a locked-down nation than anything available in this country.
But there is one question its American authors do not — cannot — answer: How did ordinary Canadians harden their hearts against those who sought shelter in a brutal world?

Submersible Pumps: The Modern, Sensible Approach
Originally used in Europe, submersible wastewater pumps were first introduced into the U.S. market in the mid 1950's. They became popular in the early 1960's when a guide rail system was developed to lift pumps out of well pits for easy maintenance and repair. This ended the dirty, and sometimes dangerous, task of sending people into the sewage or wet pit. Submersibles are now the dominant type of pump in the municipal lift station market. They are used primarily for wet-pit sewage lift stations and for industrial sump or process effluent applications. Submersibles offer the following advantages:
- Low initial cost - They involve only one pit, and less auxiliary equipment is required than for dry well/wet well installations.
- Low operating costs
- Safe and quiet installations
- Minimal unsightly, above-ground equipment
- Reliable operation over a long service life
A submersible lift station includes not only the pump-motor unit, but sophisticated, electrical and mechanical controls, piping and a wet well with an access frame and cover. Submersible pumps are also widely used to handle suspended solids effectively and efficiently. SWPA's members manufacture submersibles that handle 2-1/4" and larger solids and have a minimum 3" discharge. It is estimated that SWPA's member pump companies manufacture and sell more than 75% of these pumps in the United States.

Army wives benefits
Due to their husbands' military service, Army wives receive many on base benefits. These include educational benefits, heath care services and monthly allowances. These benefits are meant to aid Army wives in the job of maintaining a household without their husbands.
These provisions in turn boost the morale of husbands in the services. Soldiers find it easier to focus on their job if they know their family is being taken care of.
Educational Benefits
Thanks to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, veterans can transfer educations benefits to their dependents, including spouses. Transferability is possible after the soldier has been in the Army for ten years. With this option, Army wives will receive tuition assistance stipends. This is a monthly cash sum that can also be applied to books and lab fees. The Army also helps by making payments on student loans.
Health Care Benefits
Army wives are enrolled in the TRICARE health care plan. They receive health care services on base for little to no cost. Services include physicals and vaccinations, medical screenings, optical and dental care, and prenatal care. These health benefits also extend to the children of soldiers. Army wives are treated at Military Treatment Facilities by Army Medical Officers and Nursing Officers. The level of care is comparable to what you would find in a civilian hospital, but at a fraction of the cost.
Post Exchange Behefits
Army wives also have access to benefits on base. The Post Exchange is essentially a mall on base. There are restaurants as well as stores for buying clothing and household supplies. In addition to a convenient location, the PX offers cheaper prices than what you would find off base. There are also movie theatres, golf courses and bowling alleys located on many Army bases.
Survivor Benefits
Though Army wives might not want to think about death, the Army has a program in place to assist them should their husbands die in the line of duty. The Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) provides a monthly payment that would represent retirement income lost due to a soldier's early death. Soldiers must serve until retirement and pay a small monthly premium to be eligible. SBP payments are adjusted annually to account for inflation.
Space A Travel
Army wives are also eligible to travel aboard military aircraft with their spouses for free, when space is available. Their Army spouse must have a pass stating that they are on leave. This is a perfect option for family vacations, but you should keep your plans flexible, because flights can be changed or cancelled with little notice. Aviation command websites have information about Space A Travel available for Army wives.

sorry for the late post but i've been caught up in family, shopping, and sweet desserts but now i'm finally gonna post!
earlier today i started a new manga called W-Juliet and it's got a funny and cute plot. It's about this girl named Ito who looks more like a guy than a girl and a guy named Makoto who wants to become and actor but his dad doesn't want him to so he made a deal that if he spent his high school life as a girl, he'd get to be an actor. Well, they meet fall in love and the story follows their crazy high school life together ;).
I also recommend all the other mangas by Emura like:
W-Juliet II (if you like W-Juliet, then read this too of course)
Grand Sun was a great read! i completely recommend it!
Michibata no Tenshi

How to Install a Chevy C10 Dash Padby Russell Wood
When restoring an old truck, you have to often deal with lots of different issues, including restoring the interior. The dash pad is typically the first thing to go, because of its proximity to the windshield and sun rot. Fortunately, installing a new dash pad isn't difficult, and can be done in an hour or so with the right tools. In this case, the project vehicle is a 1972 Chevrolet C-10, but the process is similar for other vehicles as well.
Step 1
Crawl underneath the dashboard and unbolt the dash pad from the metal dash board. This may take some contortionist maneuvers, but you should be able to reach the bolts with an extension.
Step 2
Lift off the stock dash pad and set it to the side. Then slide the replacement dash pad onto the vehicle and line it up with the factory bolt holes.
Bolt the replacement dash pad to the metal dashboard using the 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and socket.
Items you will need
- 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and socket set
- Replacement dash pad

UPDATE!! Recently, this research has been identified as #6 on T&F! Wow, way to go to Art Therapist Melissa Walker and the research team!
Main-stream news and magazine articles
National Geographic – https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/02/150213-art-therapy-mask-blast-force-trauma-psychology-war/
Why is this therapeutic approach so effective?
MW: Someone who has experienced trauma has a block that keeps them from verbalizing what they've been through. There is a shutdown in the [convolution of] Broca-the part of the brain responsible for speech and language. The mask gives them a way to explain themselves. The concrete image of the mask unleashes words. It reintegrates the left and right hemispheres. Now they can discuss their feelings with their social worker or psychiatrist.
** Here is the Art Therapist Melissa Walker in a TED talk presentation. It is worth the watch!!
She gives the story of an active-duty member while deployed, who experienced a large mortar attack and saw a bloody face. This vision of a "Bloody face in bunker" (BFIB) haunted him for seven years. That is until Art Therapy came along! See the research study below to see the clinical process of the veteran making a mask, and letting go of his vision.

text: My first Maxx had a sound issue and since it was with in the 14 days I got a new one to replace it. I love my Maxx and it has had no issues since until today. It's my fault and I want to cry. It was in the car holder and it was in its Otterbox Defender but some how it fell out of the car holder and must have hit just right even with the case it broke the screen. ( Its not shattered but the screen under the top one has a crack that I did not see until I got home. The screen will not work at all. My question is do I call Verizon or go straight to Asurion? I went to Asurion to check into how the claim process is going to work but when I click on file claim a screen pops up but there are no words and I tried three different web browsers. Of course I then read reviews on Asurion and they where almost all bad so I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Just looking for advice and maybe some info on Asurion that is not all bad. Thanks for letting me vent I plan to call someone once my husband gets home and I can use his cell to make a call since my phone works but I can't see anything.

however, are widely spread. The only endemic genus is that formed for the reception of the American Badger (Taxidea), which differs from its European ally in certain anatomical features.
In contradistinction to the Neotropical Region, the Insectivora are abundant in the Nearctic; there are no less
than four genera of Moles met with, three of which are peculiar.
Amongst them is the remarkable Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) which carries a ring of riband-like appendages at the end of its snout. These serve, no doubt, as a sensitive organ (see Fig. 34).
Finally, the Bats are neither very numerous nor of great importance; only one genus (Antrozous), containing one species, being peculiar out of a total of nine.
Summarizing, therefore, we find the Nearctic Region to be characterized by the exclusive possession of only two families of Mammals—namely, Antilocapridse (the Prongbucks) and Haplodontidse (the Haplodonts), and by the presence of sixty-six genera, of which twenty-one are restricted within its boundaries. On the other hand, in addition to the two orders already mentioned, Monotremes and Primates, the following important families are absent in the Nearctic Region, although fairly well spread over the Old World:—
SuidsB (Swine). Hyeenidse (Hyenas).
Equidse (Horses). Erinaceidae (Hedgehogs).
Myoxidae (Dormice). Pteropodidse (Fruit-eating Bats).
Viverridae (Civets). Rhinolophidee (Leaf-nosed Bats).
That some of these families did, however, at one time exist on the North American continent has been shown by recent palaeontological discoveries.
Section III.—Sub-division Of The Nearctic Region
The recent work of American naturalists, more especially that of Merriam (2) and of Allen (1), has greatly increased our knowledge of the mammals of North America and of their distribution. These naturalists have further shown that the Sub-regions adopted by Wallace in his well-known text-book on geographical distribution are not altogether supported by the facts now known to us.
Mr. Allen, in his paper on the distribution of North
American mammals, first of all excludes from what he terms the North American Region the extreme northern parts of that continent. He considers that the Arctic portion of that continent, namely, that beyond the limit of arboreal vegetation, forms, together with the similar part of the Old World, a separate Region, or, as he terms it, "the Arctic Realm."
Furthermore, the southern part of North America south of the Mexican tableland, together with the lowlying country of Mexico on either flank, he assigns to the American Tropical Realm. The remainder of the continent, combined with the great mass of Europe and Asia, forms, according to this author, the North Temperate Realm. This scheme of division does not differ essentially from that of Mr. Allen. The Arctic portion of North America forms, no doubt, as Mr. Allen puts it, "part of a homogeneous hyperborean faunal area of circumpolar distribution."
Mr. Allen's American Tropical Realm has already been treated of in the chapter of this volume dealing with the Neotropical Region (see p. 52). There remains,therefore, Mr. Allen's North American Region, which nearly corresponds to the Nearctic Region of our scheme of classification. Mr. Allen divides his North American Region into two Subregions—the Cold Temperate and the Warm Temperate, the two latter falling into two provinces, a Humid or Eastern and an Arid or Western. Proceeding further, he divides the Humid province into two sub-provinces, namely, an Apalachian or Northern and an Austro-riparian or Southern. The Arid or Western province is also separated into two sub-provinces—the Campestrian or Northern and the Sonoran or Southern, and, besides this, the subprovinces are divided into various minor divisions termed districts and faunas.
It will be sumcient for our present purpose to divide the North American or Nearctic Region into three Subregions; these may be termed, (1) the Canadian or Cold Sub-region, (2) the Western or Humid Sub-region, and (3) the Eastern or Arid Sub-region.
Mr. Wallace has recognized four Sub-regions in the Nearctic Region. His Canadian Sub-region corresponds fairly well to the Canadian or North Temperate of Mr. Allen, except for the fact that it has not been made by Mr. Wallace to extend southward down the mountain ranges. The Alleghany Sub-region of Mr. Wallace, again, practically corresponds to the "Humid " of Mr. Allen. The two others, the Rocky Mountain and Californian, correspond to Mr. Allen's "Arid," the Californian Sub-region being composed of a narrow strip of coast country between the Sierra Nevada and the sea, and extending from Queen Charlotte's Sound in the north to the south-western corner of California. The differences, therefore, between Mr. Wallace's and Mr. Allen's views are not so fundamental as one would gather from the critical remarks of the latter author.
The boundaries of the Sub-regions here adopted will be best understood by reference to the accompanying map (Plate VI., p. 176).
The Canadian or Cold Sub-region embraces the whole of the northern portion of North America, including Greenland. The southern limit of this Sub-region commences, on the Atlantic side, on the coast of Maine, in the neighbourhood of Augusta, and thence runs to Quebec and through the Great Lakes. Further west it is bounded by the northern branch of the Saskatchewan, and ends on the Pacific coast in the neighbourhood of Queen Charlotte's Sound. But long prolongations of this Sub-region extend down the Alleghany mountains; in the east as far as Georgia, along the Rocky Mountains as far as the Bio Grande, and along the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountains as far as the Colorado river. Besides these, there are several smaller detached portions of other mountain ranges, which should be attributed to the Canadian Subregion.
The Eastern or "Humid" Sub-region is separated from the Western or "Arid" by a line running roughly nearly along the meridian of 100° west of Greenwich, and extending from Manitoba to the mouth of the Rio Grande del Norte.
Section IV.—The Canadian Or Cold Sub-region
The Canadian Sub-region is especially remarkable for a number of genera which are common to it and the northern part of the Old World, but which do not extend southwards into the other Sub-regions to be presently treated of. It is further characterized by the small number of genera which are essentially New World forms, and have no connection with the Old World. Reviewing the Mammals in detail, we find that the Sub-region contains no representative of either Marsupials or Edentates. On the other hand, there are six genera of the Ungulates within its limits—a far larger proportion than that found in the other Sub-regions. Of these the only one endemic is Haploceros (the Rocky Mountain goat). This somewhat isolated Ruminant has its nearest allies in the genus

The primary way in which VoIP and UC are changing the threat to enterprise voice networks lies in the increasingly simple and inexpensive ability for attackers to originate SIP calls into the Public Voice Network. The following diagram illustrates this point:
As the Public Voice Network continues to migrate to VoIP, with SIP being the dominant protocol, it has become easy and inexpensive to originate large numbers of concurrent calls (or floods) into this network. While the trunking entry point into enterprises remains primarily TDM, the call origination point is often SIP. On the origination side, the Public Voice Network looks more like the Internet every day from a call generation point of view. This change is accelerating and is out of the control of the enterprise. Service providers are in the business of delivering call and are neither incented nor equipped to address attacks based on call floods. This call-origination transition is occurring independently of how the enterprise chooses to adopt VoIP. This transition represents the most significant threat to enterprise networks.
SIP trunks, consumer/cable SIP offerings, Internet-based SIP services, softphones, and smart phones all combine to make call origination with spoofed caller ID easy and commonplace. It is also simple to use free software, such as the Asterisk/Trixbox IP PBX, sipp call generator, and other freeware tools, to automatically generate calls. A call generation capability can be set up in a manner of hours or days to enable harassing call campaigns, which include annoyance, TDoS, vishing, and voice SPAM (SPAM over Internet Telephony or SPIT). These tools make it possible to generate hundreds or even thousands of concurrent calls A VoIP-aware botnet can fire up and generate tens of thousands of simultaneous calls, and the threat increases with each passing day.

Will the now-legalized growing of hemp in PA, and the legalization of medical marijuana bring new success for agriculture?
Either way, Jack is managing to get higher and higher!

Will the now-legalized growing of hemp in PA, and the legalization of medical marijuana bring new success for agriculture?
Either way, Jack is managing to get higher and higher!

Art Quilt, 20 x 16″
I made up a little poem for my fourth day of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days:
There was an old farmer who lived in a shoe.
He had so many debts he didn't know what to do.
He kicked out the children and grabbed a gun.
As far as I know he's still on the run!
The piece was inspired by a 19th century moralistic fable book by Dr. Heinrich Hoffman called Struwwelpeter (Slovenly Peter.) The old guy racing across the front with his musket is from that book.
Mother is walking the squirrel, Mrs. Turkey Hen looks for her baby, who is next door trying to learn to read. Meanwhile Banana man checks on the weather, while the children play.
Another one in the series of life in the country, as it isn't! The title is Curious Happenings, and the size is 15.75 x 33.5 This was a one day piece, albeit all-day! I'm using the same technique of pieces of plastic bags overlaid with tulle, or sheer fabrics. The original photos are printed onto cloth, and the commercial cotton pictures are backed with Mistyfuse and "fussy cut."
Only five days left! I might change direction today.
Usually life in the country is peaceful. Except when it's not. The children are escaping from the house, the new neighbors don't look too friendly, mom is having trouble starting the truck, and even the mail service is starting to getting hinky. Oh dear!
This one was inspired by the title of a show I want to enter. It is called Turmoil. Similar to the show about borders and boundaries, this one first made me think all kinds of dark thoughts concerning today's headlines. But then I determined to give the poor juror a laugh and create something more lighthearted.
The title is "A Troubled Day in the Country." It was a three-day effort because it is bigger — 25.25 x 30.5″ OK it's not the biggest art quilt in the world, but it is bigger compared to the ones I have been making for the 30 for 30 challenge.
We live at the base of a mountain, and especially during mulberry season, often speak of "evidence of bear." Meaning, well, let me just say that the "evidence" is full of mulberry seeds and of a specific shape and consistency.
In today's fantasy, entitled "Evidence of Bear," the bear (another neighbor's lawn ornament), is hard to miss. I think he has his eye on the delicious looking fish atop the house.
The size of this piece is 15 x 18.75, and again I've started with a background of plastic bags, and tulle pieces which gives a feel of watercolor washes.
Let's see what happens today. Be sure to check out what other artists are doing at http://30paintingsin30days.weebly.com/
This is a "two day" piece, and a continuation of the theme of unknown neighbors. For the background, I continued the use of plastic bags (I have quite a collection of wonderful colors) along with tulle (sheer fabric) and of course Mistyfuse, a heat activated fusing material for fabric.
My sister-in-law's pet turkey makes another large scale entrance, as well as a new item found in someone's yard — the funny little man in the top hat. And of course I'm continuing to have fun with quirky commercial prints. Oh, and for some reason there has been a baby picture of my uncle in my studio for some time. He gets center stage.
The title is "Strange Neighbors?" and the size is 14.25 x 30.25.
This was was inspired by the title of an art show I intend to enter called "Boundaries, Borders and Thresholds." After I had a flood of thoughts about the serious events and associations that came to mind (US/Mexican border; fear of immigrants; historical Berlin wall etc etc,) I started to think about the close to home boundary of neighbor to neighbor.
I checked my growing repository of photos from my neighborhood, and sure enough there was a nice house in town, and a contrasting tiny (ex-outhouse??) behind a neighbor's house. And it made me giggle to put that big woman from a commercial cotton print inside the nice house.
My sister and brother-in-law's pet turkey glares menacing from the "ex-outhouse??" and various other and sundry creatures abound. I used some bits of plastic bags under the tulle in the sky, and I like the effect. That idea will get me started on my next piece.
Makes me think these neighbors should have met a long time ago!

We know it's not business as usual right now, and we're here to help. Check out our latest COVID resources.
Discovery and Referral, Part One
Let's break down the differences between the two installation paths in more detail and talk about how to maximize your opportunity for both.
The Discovery path: are people converting when they find your app page?
They key thing for app developers to understand about the discovery path is that your app details page has a conversion rate.
What's that you say? You didn't think about the conversion rate? You assumed that most people who saw your app's details page were installing your app?
That's understandable – most developers don't think about this piece of the equation and even fewer think critically about how they can truly impact the conversion rate.
Part of the problem in today's app stores is the lack of insight into the views of your app's details page and the resulting activity. We are hopeful that this lack of data will be addressed over time.
Regardless of if more data is forthcoming from the app stores, the end results of your efforts to improve your conversion rate are shown in your installation volume. Your efforts to improve your conversion rate will have a direct impact on your installations.
It's absolutely critical that you understand that the majority of the time, when someone looks at your app's page in the app store, they're choosing to not install your app.
Our studies of activity around app details pages and work with various third party app stores gives us two pieces of unique data that you should understand:
- For free apps, fewer than 1 in 3 views of the app detail pages result in a download.
- For paid apps, fewer than 1 in 10 views of the app detail pages results in a purchase
The reality is this: whether your app is free or not, most people choose to pass on your app.
The decision points for a discovery consumer
The good news is that you can meaningfully impact the conversion ratio because there are 3 decision points for a consumer who is in discovery mode:
- Your app's description
- Your app's screenshots
- The consumer ratings and reviews for your app
Experimenting with your app's description, from the way you describe what the app does to discussing recent updates all play a hand in swaying a consumer's decision to install your app. Well-written copy, with an emphasis on benefits and the consumer's use cases will serve you well.
It's also important that you optimize the layout of your app's description in order to optimize the readability. Long blocks of text that run together are much tougher to read than sections that are broken up with line breaks and that use Unicode characters for bullets, checkmarks and the like. Compare the 2 below:
We recommend making that sure you've viewed your app's description on the phone, tablet and web and revised it so that it presents well in every situation. It's not easy, but it's worth the effort! See details about the limitations on characters and "above the fold" behavior in various environments in our Appendix.
The screenshots can make the words you share much more real for a consumer and give them a sense of what to expect on their screen. We highly recommend experimenting with the screenshots and descriptions and measuring the impact on your app's installation rates.
The silver bullet in driving downloads and purchases of your app are, however, the ratings and reviews. Specifically, the overall ratings volume and the most recent reviews you've received are important indicators to your potential customers.
This appears to be because the ratings and reviews are social proof about your app. Excellent ratings or significant complaints are much more reliable indicators for the average consumer. A review from another customer is much more convincing that what the app developer has to say. 15 years of reviews on Amazon, Yelp and the like have taught us to trust our fellow consumers more than anything else.

Bertie Ahern has said he is saddened and infuriated by the collapse of talks in the North.
The former taoiseach said he finds it "very hard to understand" why Sinn Féin and the DUP have thrown away their opportunity to take up power on behalf of the people of the North.
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire said he does not intend to appoint ministers to take political control at Stormont.
However, on Monday, he introduced a budget for the North through the House of Commons as a result of the impasse — a move that has been seen as a step closer to imposing direct rule.
Mr Ahern, who was a leading figure in the establishment of power-sharing in the North through the Good Friday Agreement, said: "Everywhere in the world politicians want power, even where they are not democracies, politicians want power and here we have a situation in Northern Ireland where they are given power and they don't want power.
"What I liked about politics was being able to deal with issues to do with health and education and jobs in the inner city when we had high unemployment back in the 70s and the 80s.
"That's what politics is about and to be elected to a body that has the power to do these things and opt not to do them is very hard to understand."
Mr Ahern was at the launch of the Festival of Politics in Dublin yesterday.
Asked if the breakdown in negotiations, which has signalled a potential move towards direct rule, has saddened and infuriated him, he said it had done "all of those things".
"I think it has been a sad year, 2017, in terms of the institutions, it has been really really bad, no devolved government, no working across the party lines, the whole spirit of what should be happening is really not functioning at all," he said.
"The institutions are so strong and so powerful. The devolved institutions have the powers to do practically anything.
"People working together working across the lines and the old differences and communicating with people could make such a difference and particularly at a time with Brexit and all that entails and instead of that we have had a year of false dawns and dusks.
"I hope that we can jump-start [negotiations], but it's not just a question of getting them up again, it's people working together, co-operating, dealing with the issues of the day."

Tips To Care For Your Teeth
If you feel you've been slacking in the region of proper dental care, now is a great time to change for your better. You can accomplish a lot simply by adopting a much better hygiene and might prevent many health concerns. Continue on if you'd prefer to find out more!
When you are anxious about seeing the dentist, do your homework around the dentists within your geographic area. After looking at through online reviews, choose the best of the most effective by finding a dentist by using a pleasant and non-threatening personality. These qualities will help you to feel at ease during appointments.
Be sure you brush a couple of times daily for healthy, clean teeth. The best dental hygiene is made up of brushing your teeth pre and post you visit bed and also after each time you eat. If you are not able to brush after meals, try chewing on some sugar free gum.
If you have problems with your teeth like pain or chipping, you have to view a dentist immediately. Not visiting your dentist immediately can cause even more harm to your teeth. It can be more economical to treat dental problems as they occur rather than waiting to behave.
Perform regular teeth cleaning through brushing. Brushing after meals twice daily is better. Brush your teeth for three minutes ensuring you brush each tooth.
Be gentle and ensure to buy a toothpaste that has fluoride inside. Floss your teeth after brushing them.
Fluoride supplements may make your teeth healthier. Fluoride can be your best bet for eliminating gum irritation and teeth that appear stained at all times. However, a lot of fluoride can put yellow spots in your teeth. If this takes place, stop taking supplements and eliminate other resources for fluoride in what you eat.
Make regular visits to your dentist. Regular dental checkups can make sure that your teeth remain strong and healthy. They could also find problems at the beginning of development to avoid future issues.
Even most seemingly minor dental concern may have serious consequences further later on.
Would you struggle to justify spending 75 dollars on the toothbrush? Many dentists state that the electronic toothbrushes are definitely the closest at-home experience you can get to a trip to the dentist. Electric toothbrushes are not perfect but they are much more efficient than some other toothbrushDentist, Teeth cleaning, teeth whitening, oral care, cosmetic dentistry, teeth straightening, Dental exam, Decide on a multiple-head model which has a superior warranty mounted on it.
Be wary of carbonic acids located in citrus fruits because they can often damage the enamel on your own teeth. Should you frequently drink orange juice or eat citrus fruits, take a few extra minutes to brush your teeth thoroughly afterwards. Carrying this out stops carbonic acids from settling into the teeth.
In terms of a dentist-friendly diet, there are a few daily food groups you should include. Calcium is useful for the potency of your teeth and bones. Consume dairy food each day to ensure you get enough. Nuts are another great choice. Meat gives the body protein along with your teeth use that to heal.
Having learned this, what is going to one does about this? You need to alter your dental habits for the better. Continue to discover dealing with your teeth and stay on top of technologies that can assist…

The financial guru behind New York Times bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad has filed for bankruptcy on one of his companies after losing a $24 million judgement.
This April, Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Global LLC was ordered to pay $23,687,957.21 to the Learning Annex and its founder and chairman, Bill Zanker.
Kiyosaki had used the Learning Annex platform to organize several high profile speaking engagements, including a 2002 appearance at Madison Square Garden
A U.S. District Court jury ruled Zanker and the Annex were entitled to a certain percentage of the profits from those engagements.
Zanker told the New York Post he was responsible for making Rich Dad, Poor Dad into the global name it is today.
'I took Kiyosaki's brand and made it bigger. The deal was I would get a percentage and he reneged,' Zanker said.
'We had a signed letter of intent. The Learning Annex is the greatest promoter. We put his 'Rich Dad' brand on a stage. We truly prepared him for great fame and riches. But when it was time for him to pay up, he said no.'
Will Smith said he was teaching his son about financial responsibility by reading the book and Oprah Winfrey endorsed it on her show.
Even Donald Trump liked his advice, co-writing the book Why We Want You to be Rich with Kiyosaki in 2006.
The book is so successful it's inspired a musical, Women Must Have Money, to be staged in Shanghai this November.
'Oprah believed in him, and Will Smith believed in him, but he didn't keep his promise to us,' Zanker said.
Mike Sullivan, CEO of Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Co., told reporters Kiyosaki would not put personal assets towards the judgement and claimed the judgement was far more than Rich Global LLC's value.
'The dealings we had with the Learning Annex were with a company that hasn't been in business for a number of years,' Sullivan said.
'I am not surprised Learning Annex is upset and angry, the money doesn't exist in that company, and we can't bring money out of the group.
'We have a few million dollars in this company, but not 16 or 20. I can't do anything about a $20 million judgment. We got hit for what we think is a completely outlandish figure.'

Whilst the adults hope they won't need them, and the children hope they will; we have a selection of sledges, snow shovels and de-icing salt to mean you can make the best of any snowfall.
Helpful Snow and De-icing Tips:
Using a de-icing product requires more than spreading it around. Knowing the age of a side walk and the product's ingredients are important to prevent damage. Before buying a de-icing product, consider the following:
• Concrete side walks and steps should be at least six months old, otherwise they can be severely damaged by de-icing products.
• Products containing ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate should never be used since these will break down even the most durable masonry materials.
• Applying de-icers near areas of vegetation can potentially harm plant life if strong enough concentrations build up in the soil
• To provide better traction use sand in combination with a de-icer or by itself. Here are several suggestions to help speed melting and minimize damage to masonry when using a de-icing product:
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and safety.
• Before applying, shovel and remove as much snow and ice as possible.
• Apply the product sparingly in the area of highest foot traffic.
• Apply the product away from the base of the building.
• Assist the melting process by shoveling and removing snow and slush, especially away from the building.
• In the spring, wash down sidewalks, building bases, and areas near vegetation to help disperse the residue of the product.

The multiple sclerosis medication daclizumab (Zinbryta, Biogen/AbbVie) is being withdrawn from the market voluntarily following reports that it has been associated with inflammatory encephalitis and meningoencephalitis. The two companies said that "characterizing the complex and evolving benefit/risk profile of Zinbryta will not be possible going forward given the limited number of patients being treated."
Pulling the drug "is in the best interest of patients," said Alfred Sandrock, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Biogen.
Daclizumab, which is available in the European Union, U.S., Switzerland, Canada, and Australia, is used to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Because of its risks, it is generally used in people who have tried two or more MS medicines that have not worked well enough.
News of the move came as the European Medicines Agency said that it was "urgently reviewing" daclizumab following cases of inflammatory brain disorders. Seven cases of encephalitis and meningoencephalitis turned up in Germany, with one occurring in Spain, FiercePharma reported.
Prior to the announcement, regulators had already taken actions around daclizumab's liver safety. In the U.S., the product carried a boxed warning—the agency's most serious—against use in patients with liver problems, along with a risk-management program.
Meanwhile, competition has been heating up in the MS market. Last year saw the entry of Roche's Ocrevus, an eagerly awaited contender that FiercePharma said has "blockbuster" written all over it. Last summer, Bernstein analyst Ronny Gal wrote that daclizumab, beset by regulatory issues, "looks increasingly weak."

Fresh, diverse and delicious, Kiwis love their food. While you're in New Zealand, seek out a couple of the following quintessential Kiwi foods.
With more than 14,000 kilometres of coastline, New Zealand is home to some amazing seafood. From green-lipped mussels, to whitebait fritters, to oysters, you'll be in seafood heaven.
Succulent and tender, roast lamb is a Kiwi favourite. New Zealand lamb is held in high esteem throughout the world and is one of the country's top export meats. Best enjoyed flavoured with rosemary and plenty of seasonal veggies, roast lamb is a meal that is sure to impress. You'll find it on the menu of our best restaurants nationwide.
The hāngī was the most widely used method of cooking by Māori for more than 2000 years. Now saved mainly for special occasions, foods cooked in a hangi include chicken, pork and mutton, as well as various vegetables. One of the best places to enjoy this cultural feast is Rotorua, in the central North Island – book yourself in for a Māori cultural experience. You might also get to savour a delicious hāngī-steamed pudding for dessert.
Best enjoyed while sitting on a New Zealand beach on a balmy summer evening, Fish and chips is a bonafide Kiwi favourite. Freshly-caught snapper, terakihi and hoki are the most common types of fish used, which is then battered and deep-fried. Scallops and squid rings are also often included. Fish and chips are available pretty much everywhere in New Zealand, and are delicious when accompanied with a beer or two.
For those with a sweet tooth, the indigenous chocolate fish has been a long-time favourite. The chocolate-coated marshmallow fish comes individually wrapped.
The Pineapple Lump is another favourite New Zealand treat. A square pineapple candy coated in chocolate, the Pineapple Lump has been on sale since 1935.
The Jaffa, a hard coated orange flavoured candy with a chocolate centre, is a must for every Kiwi lolly jar. We even celebrate this unique Kiwi treat each year when thousands of Jaffas are raced down Dunedin's Baldwin St, the steepest street in the world, as part of the annual Cadbury Chocolate Carnival.
Kiwis are passionate about good ice cream - hokey pokey (creamy vanilla ice cream with pieces of honeycomb) anyone? New Zealanders also love their pavlova. A meringue-based dessert that's topped with cream and fresh fruit, pavlova is a permanent fixture at the Christmas table. For something a bit healthier, you can't go past the delicious kiwifruit – small and furry and green on the inside, it's best eaten by scooping the sweet, juicy flesh out of the middle.
If you're after award-winning wines and cheeses, look no further than New Zealand. We've got several world-class cheese making companies, famous for blue cheese, delicious vintages and creamy soft cheeses. Kapiti, Whitestone and Puhoi Valley are some of the top brands to look out for. In terms of wine, New Zealand punches above its weight. Enjoy full-bodied pinot noir, light and fruity sauvignon blanc and mouth-filling merlot.

In-Office Procedures
A colposcopy is a procedure that's performed when a Pap Smear result returns abnormal. The physician visualizes the cervix using a scope to magnify the cervix and identify the abnormal changes. Depending on the results of the Pap smear and the degree of abnormality, your physician may decide to take a biopsy of one or more of the problem areas to determine the degree/severity of the abnormality. The specimen is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Endometrial Ablation – "No more periods!"
An endometrial ablation is a procedure to stop or significantly reduce excessive and abnormal bleeding in women by removing a thin layer of tissue from the lining of the uterus. This procedure is done on women who are no longer interested in future pregnancies.
Endometrial ablations are safe, effective, and can be performed in the office in 8 minutes or less and you can resume your normal daily activities the next day.
We perform the ablations using Novasure, Genesys HTA, and Minerva devices at Camelback Women's Health.
Hysteroscopy (with -or- without D&C)
A hysteroscopy is a procedure which allows your doctor to visualize the inner lining of the uterus by inserting a very narrow scope with a camera into the cervical canal. Seeing the uterine lining on the monitor gives your doctor a clear view of the interior of your uterine cavity. Abnormal tissue, such as polyps or thickening of the lining, can be biopsied or removed at the time of the hysteroscopy. The removal of tissue would be done with a dilation and curettage (D&C). This procedure is usually performed under anesthesia in our office.
LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure)
A LEEP procedure uses a low-voltage current through a thin wire loop which acts as a scalpel to remove tissue with mild to moderate dysplasia (abnormal or precancerous changes) from the cervix, while cauterizing the tissue at the same time to minimize bleeding. This procedure is done when the pap smear and biopsy results return as abnormal. It is generally done in the office with only local anesthesia. It can be done under anesthesia under certain circumstances.
MonaLisa Touch
MonaLisa Touch is a treatment that uses laser energy to treat atrophic vaginitis, vaginal dryness and/or burning, painful intercourse, and urinary incontinence. MonaLisa Touch is a medical laser which delivers controlled energy to the vaginal tissue so cells produce more collagen and encourage increased blood flow, restoring the tissue to it's pre-menopausal state. Treatments are done in a series of 3- each treatment 6 weeks apart. Yearly maintenance treatments may be necessary.

Permanent Birth Control
Essure is a proven permanent birth control procedure that works with your body to create a natural barrier against pregnancy. This gentle, non-surgical procedure can be performed in the comfort of our office in minutes. Unlike some forms of birth control, Essure blocks the egg and sperm from meeting, so contraception never occurs.
Essure has been trusted by hundreds of thousands of women and physicians for over 5 years and is the most effective form of birth control available.
Essure is covered by most insurance providers, and if the procedure is performed in the office, depending on your insurance plan, payment may be covered 100%.
- No incisions or burning
- No hormones
- No slowing down to recover
- Short 10-minute procedure
- Peace of mind- confirmation of the success is tested after 3 months.
- The most effective form of permanent birth control available
