Throughout the last decade and into the current century the older population will continue expand in size and diversity. Individual older people differ greatly from one another in their nutrient requirements and need for nutrition services.
These all affect the bioavailability of nutrients and increase the risk of developing a chronic deficiency disease Such as osteoporosis.
Achlorhydria is the insufficient production of stomach acid. The decline in acid can be due to age as well as atrophic gastritis. About 30% of those over age 50 have achlorhydria. Sufficient stomach acid and intrinsic factor are required for the absorption of vitamin B12. Although substantial amounts are stored in the liver, B12 deficiency does occur (Russell 2002).
Constipation is not a disease; it is a symptom. Constipation is defined as having fewer bowel movements than usual, having difficulty or excessive straining at stool, painful bowel movements, hard stool, or incomplete emptying of the bowel. Older adults are more likely than younger adults to become constipated. Primary causes include insufficient fluids, lack of physical activity, and low intake of dietary fiber. Constipation is also caused by delayed transit time in the gut and medications Constipation can usually be alleviated by increasing fluids, activity, and fiber (Cashman, 2009).
Basal metabolic rate decreased by 20% between the age of 30 and 90, mainly because of the decrease in lean body mass (Mahan and Escot-stump, 2006).

Wanted by the ICC for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur, Al-Bashir was to attend an Asia-Africa summit in Jakarta.
The Commission for The Disappeared and Victims of Violence (KontraS) and the Indonesian Coalition for the ICC condemnedthe Indonesian government for inviting Al-Bashir to the summit and called on it to ratify the Rome Statute. The ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights also urged Indonesia to withdraw the invitation.
Human Rights Watch’s (HRW) Elise Keppler said that the cancellation reinforces Al-Bashir’s status as a fugitive from international justice.
Sudan denied claims that the trip was cancelled due to denial of airspace. Meanwhile, Al-Bashir is expected to attend South Sudan’s independence day celebration.
HRW called on UN peacekeepers and the CAR government to free 42 Muslim women and girls being held by anti-Balaka forces, stressing that they are at risk of sexual violence.
The CAR transitional government approved the creation of a special criminal court to prosecute atrocities. A planned peace forum was delayed in order to allow the president of the Republic of Congo—who served as mediator during the crisis—to attend and to raise additional finances for the talks.
The Daily Nation reported that a senior Kenyan intelligence official was arrested and deported after he attempted to meet an ICC witness in the Netherlands last week. The lawyer for the last prosecution witness in the case against Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto and Joshua Sang called the report shocking and said that it raises concerns about the Kenya ICC cases. He also said that ICC suspects should be detained in order to prevent witness intimidation. The Kenyan government said that the report was false and demanded an apology and clarification from the Nation Media Group.
ICC judges in Walter Barasa’s case ordered the ICC Registry to monitor the wanted journalist and report any possible movements.
The International Crisis Group warned that violence in Darfur is spiralling out of control. A resident of a West Darfur displaced camp said that he was tortured by Sudan’s military intelligence.
The International Refugee Rights Initiative released a report highlighting the devastating effects that the ongoing conflict in Sudan’s Southern Kordofan has had on civilians, and called on the international community to protect the population from atrocities.
Judges postponed the opening of the Bosco Ntaganda trial to July 2015.
ICC judges denied the Uganda Victims Foundation’s petition to submit additional information for the case against Dominic Ongwen. Two of Ongwen’s wives reportedlydefected and reported to Ugandan military bases in South Sudan.
No Peace Without Justice called for the Libyan peace talks to focus on accountability and combating impunity. Lawyers for Justice in Libya and REDRESS published an analysis of Libya’s draft constitutional recommendations, calling for a more comprehensive ban on torture.
International mediators set a 15 May deadline for groups to sign the Mali peace deal, but the main Tuareg-led rebel alliance reaffirmed its refusal to sign. Insurgents in northern Mali carried out more attacks in the past three months than in all of last year. An attack on a UN convoy killed two. Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists claimed responsibility. Another attack on peacekeepers killed at least one.
Despite Colombia‘s assertion that FARC members were responsible for the deaths of 11 soldiers last week, the rebel group said that it will maintain its ceasefire. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said that he will not give in to political pressure to end peace talks with the rebels.
Britain’s Chilcot report into the Iraq War was delayed again—possibly until 2016.
The Israeli government announced that it will transfer $473 million in withheld tax revenues to Palestine. President Abbas said that the issue of Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli jails will be submitted to the ICC. A Daily Beast columnist argued that Israel should not fear the ICC because of restraints on the Court’s abilities.
Ukraine’s foreign minister said that is government will ask the ICC to investigate alleged war crimes in Crimea and eastern Ukraine since the conflict began. HRW called for an impartial and transparent investigation into the murder of a pro-Russian journalist in Ukraine. The Ukrainian parliament threatened to appeal to the ICC if Russia does not hold perpetrators of atrocities accountable. BBC reported that pro-Russian rebels broke the ceasefire agreement by firing on Ukrainian troops near Mariupol. The US accused Russia of deploying more air defense systems in eastern Ukraine, also in breach of the ceasefire deal.
Mexican and European civil society groups urged Mexico and EU member states to incorporate the ICC Rome Statute into its national law and for the EU to make ending impunity a priority in its new Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy (in Spanish). A Jakarta Globe columnist attributed Indonesia’s failure to ratify the Rome Statute to the government’s fear of prosecution. Speaking with the International Federation for Human Rights, two activists from Armenia and Turkey called on both countries to join the ICC.
An international law expert considered both the challenges and benefits in using satellite imagery in ICC prosecutions.
Blogger Mark Kersten argued that the UN Security Council should get its strategies on the conflicts in Syria and the Middle East in order before ISIS’s alleged crimes to the ICC. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said perpetrators of human rights abuses among his security forces and Shi’a militia allies will be held accountable.
A Eurasia Review columnist considered whether drone strikes constitute as a war crime under the Rome Statute.
The US State Department’s Sarah Sewell said that the risks of the Rome Statute amendment on the crime of aggression might outweigh its benefits.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) called on ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to investigate alleged discriminatory attacks against Nigerians and other African citizens in South Africa. The Nigerian Senate also urged its government to referSouth Africa’s Zulu king to the ICC over his alleged role in the attacks.

We had big plans of hopping on the train to local museums and galleries and filling our days with the sort of spontaneous adventure that typically leads an entire week of school vacation. But the cold was simply too cold, and the kiddos could hardly handle walking to the train during our attempts to explore. So we spent the majority of our time hunkered down together, and while I honestly prepared for the sort of conflicts anticipated when the kids are cooped up for long periods at a time – I was pleasantly surprised.
Two kindred, silly spirits, plotting made-up games and running every single wheeled toy, stuffed with animals and buckets of make-believe across the hardwood floors. Temporary-tattooing their chests and leaving a trail of disaster throughout their tiny sanctuary. Carefully arranged abandoned toys became vestiges of life frozen in childhood creativity. And during a week of carrying an unexpected heavy heart – I was grateful for all of it.
Inside the snowy windows – all that seemed to matter was the love cocooned between four walls and evidence of an incredibly vibrant life with children.
She barrels into the indoor gym, slapping her legs, bolting forward with a look of determination. Sometimes, her nervousness is palpable. Manifested in the flip of her braids, the tug of her jersey. Tell-tale mannerisms that only a mother would know. She’s the only girl at Saturday soccer.
And she never gives up.
Even if she rarely has a go at the ball, she runs and gives her all. Flushed cheeks, dramatically squirting her waterbottle over her head during breaks – always excited to return the following week.
This sort of 7-year-old determination makes me think about my own metaphorical playing field, and the countless times that I’ve been complacent, paralyzed or held-back in some way. She has no idea that she’s made me revisit the words strewn in draft form that weren’t quite good enough. Questioning my recent risk-taking or lack thereof.
Only time will tell if this sport will stick. In the meantime, I’ll continue to cheer inwardly and from the sidelines for my girl. And as of now – it looks like she’ll continue to show up and bring her best.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Lucia’s imagination and wondering how much longer this dress-up stage will last. For now, we’re indulging in fantasy and perfectly appropriate little girl attire.
Dress: c/o Princess Expressions by Almar // Pooch Purse: c/o Poochie & Co // Headband made by me.
She speaks beauty and hope and five-year-old magic. Our time spent alone together is so important to both of us. I hope that she always remembers that she is loved just as she is. She is absolutely my best girl.
I awoke yesterday, on your third birthday, to the sound of you discovering giant balloons overhead. You came racing into my room, with your best partner in crime, so excited to share the news of your discovery. I looked at you and said happy birthday my love and you screamed mama it’s my birthday and jumped in bed to lay on top of me.
Oh Adrian, what a privilege it is to be your mama and to experience the depth of joy that you have brought to our family. You demonstrate kindness every single day, and you say things that are far beyond three years. I want to make you coffee, you say every morning as you drag a chair to the counter to help me make a cup. Before you could even speak in full sentences, and one for Lucia was always heard when you received something special. To this very day, there is never a time that you don’t think of your sister’s inclusion in your moments of joy. For your birthday, you asked to walk to the market to ride the horse and buy trinkets at the machine. When we arrived you stuck your little head up to the glass, peaked inside and said, let’s get that one for Lucia and so we did. The compassion you exude, constantly blows us away.
Almost three has proven to be a wild age for you. You feel things so deeply. You want to do everything yourself. When your meltdowns occur they are of epic proportions and when your tender words come out they are truly soul touching. When I least expect it, you grab my face with your tiny hands and say Oh, you’re the best mama ever and smother me in kisses. And truthfully, your sweet words and tender touch have lifted me up in love and carried me on days when I most needed it.
The thing about early childhood is that you guys are quite sneaky with this growing up business. In my five plus years of mama-hood, I have learned that all the cliches about time hold true. Not too long ago, I sought acupuncture to bring you into this world, ten days overdue. And then we were on our way to Essex to ride the Thomas Steam Train and celebrate your first and then second years of life.
And now we have celebrated three blessed years and I am so excited for what will come of you. Today I want to remember your sweet smile and the way that you nestle your head in my neck. I want to remember your love for the moon and Eric Carle books and the way you say thank you for my beautiful peppers when I give you vegetables. I want to remember the way that you appreciate simple pleasures, like riding the supermarket horse and playing outside.
Cheers to being big and mighty, my sweet boy. Let’s do three well and enjoy our fluid days together. Let’s run match box cars across the hardwood floors and smile so big until our faces hurt. Thank you for the immense love and light that you bring. We adore you Adrian.

Over the years, Linda Smith has taught hundreds of students with Carolines. Many of our students have expressed their gratitude. Below is a sampling of our former students’ reviews of our comedy class.
Saw the show yesterday and was blown away. Amanda did a great job and we were really impressed with her material, delivery and stage presence. Beyond that, she told us how the course has helped her see things differently, as she looks for material. The whole show was terrific. I know zero about comedy but I know that when that many students of any subject perform that well, major credit is due to the teacher. Thanks for a great job!
After a lifetime of loving stand-up comedy and a few very tentative attempts at doing it myself, Linda Smith showed me how. Studying with Linda gave me the courage to get up on a comedy-club stage and the skills to prove that I belonged there. She is not just a fantastic comedian; she is also a fantastic teacher, with a knack for explaining the nuts and bolts of stand-up in a very practical way while at the same time communicating her love of the art form enthusiastically and infectiously.
I just finished Linda Smith’s stand up comedy class. Brilliant. She is masterful at the art of teaching stand up. The class is taught with honesty and a straightforward compassion that encourages even the most terrified neophyte. Without reservation I recommend this class regardless of your reasons for taking it.
Before starting the class friends told me that performing a stand up routine would be one of the most difficult things I would ever do. Without the expert guidance and support from Linda that might have been true. She gave me the confidence to face an audience and the ability to even get a few laughs my first time. For that I will be forever grateful.
A genuine sense of community was created in the class and I will have many fond memories of it. I can confidently speak for probably everyone when I say that Linda changed something in us for the better. Whatever that may be. She was like our sensei.
Everyone always told me, “You should do stand-up,” but I could never have turned that corner without Linda Smith at Carolines School of Comedy. Kindly and with humor Linda told me exactly what I needed to hear and learn. She is so generous with her experiences, her laughter, and her energy. The highest compliment I can give is that I just completed my first class with Linda, and then I immediately re-enrolled to do it again!
I wanted to say thank you so very much for giving me the support and encouragement to not only complete the class but to really stand up and be funny. You helped me achieve what I felt at times I would not be able to do. Once again thank you very much you are a wonderful teacher.
First of all, my friends and family were duly impressed with the professionalism and great quality of the whole show and I was also writing to say thank you for the mentoring, coaching and encouragement. I definitely wouldn’t have been up there yesterday without you, Linda.
Thanks for leading a great class. Truly impressed on how everyone got their sets together, and that was because of you. So many different talents to deal with, but you managed to understand everyone, and lead them in the right direction. Thank you for helping me get back out there. It felt great. Hope to see you again, and keep me in mind if you need me to open for Chris Rock, or Dane Cook when they are in town… I’ll even open for you. Thanks again for everything, you truly are an expert in the art of comedy.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the confidence to pursue my dream. I just did a gig last Friday in a bar in my home town and actually got paid for doing a 30 minute set. The owner wants me back. Thank you for everything.
Thanks so much for everything. I love the class, you have really helped me make my jokes tighter and more efficient and I understand the art of standup more because of your advice and guidance.
I’m really loving this class and you’re a great teacher.

Ask any physical therapist, and you’ll get confirmation that lower back pain is the most frequent complaint they’re asked to treat. Often, back strain goes away on their own, especially with rest, ice, and ibuprofen. But when that just can’t cut the pain, physical therapy is often your most reliable path back to a pain-free life.
Among the most common causes of lower back pain (LBP) is having incorrect posture. Most office desk setups don’t provide lumbar support or ergonomic positioning, while poor work habits keep us from giving our spines much-needed relief by moving around during the day.
In either case, supporting those back muscles is key to reducing the risk of chronic lower back pain. Insist on an ergonomic desk chair, or at least take the opportunity to stretch and move around more frequently. If you’re a cashier, wait staff or warehouse worker, invest in shoes with good arch support, which helps keep your entire body be better aligned. If needed, wear a specialized brace to help support heavy lifting.
Physical therapy is one of the most effective ways for easing lower back pain. Medical professionals generally urge their patients to try PT before turning to prescription medications or surgery. Often times, you don’t even need an MRI, as your PT will determine the cause of your pain with their special tests. The reasons are obvious: Some medications can have long-term health consequences, despite the advantages of delivering temporary pain relief, while invasive procedures carry risk of complication and prolonged recovery time.
Passive PT includes manual therapies such as soft tissue work, joint adjustments, and possibly dry needling.
If you have back that comes on a few times a year, or have a severe onset of intense back pain, call us at Reneu Sport + Health today and learn how we can help you at either our Minnetonka or Wayzata location.

England have called up Fulham's uncapped goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli for the games against Spain and Switzerland, while midfielder Adam Lallana has withdrawn.
Bettinelli, 26, was not in Fulham's squad for the first two matches of the season but has regained his place.
First-choice keeper Jordan Pickford did not take part in the squad's main training session on Tuesday.
Lallana has returned to Liverpool to have a groin strain assessed.
The 30-year-old, who did not feature at the World Cup after an injury-disrupted season in 2017-18, joins Raheem Sterling in withdrawing from the squad. The Manchester City attacker pulled out on Monday with a back problem.
Gareth Southgate's side face Spain at Wembley in their opening Uefa Nations League game on Saturday, before playing Switzerland at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
Bettinelli has come through the ranks at Fulham, the club he joined as a youngster, and made his debut in 2014 following loan spells at National League side Dartford and Accrington Stanley in League Two.
Later that year he was called up to the England Under-21 side that was then managed by Southgate.
His call up to the senior side comes just nine days after making his Premier League debut for the Cottagers, after starting the season behind new signing Fabri as first choice for the goalkeeper's jersey.

Nik Turley turned in one of the all-time great pitching performances in Somerset Patriots history in York on Friday night.
And that he didn’t necessarily get to finish it was OK.
The 26-year-old lefty was as good as it gets at this level, allowing no runs on no walks and just four hits through six innings and 88 pitches while striking out a season-high 12 in helping Somerset shut down the Revolution, 5-0, at PeoplesBank Ballpark.
Kyler Newby, Jim Miller and Mike Thomas pitched three innings of perfect relief, while David Vidal capped off a solid showing from the offense with a monstrous two-run home run in the eighth inning in an overall stellar performance.
But Turley was the story. Again.
However, the “tell” for when Turley is on seems to be the difference in his curveball and slider. When he isn’t effective, both pitches seem similar, with the slider not being as tight. Friday? Both were sharp.
And boy, were they good.
“I thought he had command of everything, and he and Yovi seemed to be on the same page,” said Patriots manager Brett Jodie.
So it was somewhat surprising he didn’t go a little deeper into that outing. Six innings, 88 pitches…it left you wanting more. But it’s hard to argue with the results Jodie and his staff got by not pushing their stud southpaw.

The Earth is out of time—or so says the handsome stranger a young woman discovers hiding in her new house. The Virginia city of Augusta may seem idyllic, but it harbors a terrible secret that threatens the whole world. And only the two of them, working together, can stop it.
In his fifth novel, Virginia author Matthew Warner sidesteps from his usual horror genre fare into urban fantasy. The Seventh Equinox is set in a small Shenandoah Valley city that is based on his home of Staunton.
In the book, readers will find many of the things that make the area special: its small-town charm—everything from antiques stores to greasy spoon restaurants to solicitous neighbors—to its unique geography, such as its vast underground caverns and the fabled Skyline Drive.
There’s also a touch of mountain magic and legend. What ancient colossus slumbers beneath Mari Bell Mountain? Read to find out.
Her recent divorce left Bessie Henderson on guard against being exploited by any man. When she escapes to Augusta, Virginia, she’s captivated by the small town’s charm, but also its quirks: her intrusive elderly neighbor, the secret labyrinth of caverns beneath her Victorian house—and the man hiding from the law in her root cellar.
As the equinox nears, the couple must reconcile their growing feelings for each other. Bessie may not be ready to trust and give to another man, especially one who takes so much from her. And Robin must choose between love and duty—a duty that means life for the planet but death for himself.

Unsure about which equipment to use and when? Virgin Active personal trainer Emily Cole shares advice on making the most of your workout, with how-to guides for the best exercise machines.
With complex-looking equipment (seated hip abductor machine, anyone?) and a constant stream of new workout trends, it’s no wonder that more than half of us don’t know what to do in the gym. A quarter of us are also too shy to ask for help, according to a study by Nuffield Health.
Resistance bands help your muscles work harder as they provide an extra force for the muscles to work against. They’re great for a leg workout as they add another level of intensity to moves such as squats, plus they can help to improve your form by encouraging correct alignment and position.
Squats: place the resistance band just above your knees. Keep resistance on the band throughout the movement to encourage the knees to drive out as you squat. Use a block or chair to sit back onto to help your posture and put your weight into your heels.
Leg raisers: place the band around your ankles and lie on your side with your legs in line with your spine. Rest your head onto your the arm and raise your top leg away from the bottom leg a few inches until you feel resistance on the band. Then, lower with control.
Using a Swiss ball during your core workout can help to target those deeper abdominal muscles. The instability of the ball can test your body’s fine motor skills – specifically coordination and balance – and gives you an added challenge when performing core exercises.
Crunches: sit on the ball and walk your feet forward until your bum is off the ball but your lower back is supported. Cup your head in your hands, draw your belly button in towards the spine and exhale as you slowly curl up with the head and shoulders. Inhale to return to the start position.
Pikes: come into a plank position by rolling your body forward until your hands are underneath your shoulders and your feet are resting on the ball. Slowly draw your knees in towards your body in a tuck. Send your legs back and untuck into the plank position.
Kettle bell swings are a compound movement – a full body exercise that works a number of different muscle groups at the same time, especially down the back of the body (the posterior chain). Swings will particularly target your glutes, hamstrings and back, and raise your heart rate, making it a great cardio workout too.
Swings: start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and soft knees. Hold the kettle bell in front of your legs with both hands in an overhand grip with straight arms. Squeeze the shoulder blades together and keep a flat back. Let the kettle bell drop between your legs and follow it with your eyes as you thrust the hips forward and squeeze the glutes to swing the kettle bell up to shoulder height.
Similar to the Swiss ball, Bosu balls can help with your balance as it increases your body awareness. Use it to challenge your abdominal muscles more.
Planks: rest your forearms onto the ball and hold the plank position – elbows underneath your shoulders, wrists in line with your elbows and hips in line with your shoulders. Draw your navel in towards the spine, squeeze your shoulder blades together and squeeze your glutes.
These weighted balls help to add resistance by loading your muscle to strengthen and build. They’re great for ab workouts as they can help you target your the obliques (side core muscles).
Russian twists: start in a seated position, draw your navel towards your spine and lift both feet off the ground, keeping your knees and feet together. Lengthen your spine and open your chest by pulling your shoulder blades together. Keep your lower body still and twist the upper body to tap the medicine ball onto the floor either side of your hips.
Using a roller post-workout will help to flush the lactic acid from your muscles, help circulation and therefore improve your recovery rate. It can also lengthen your fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels of the body), which boosts your mobility and helps your perform better.
Recovery: at the end of your workout, roll the muscles in your legs and glutes using your body weight to create as much or as little pressure as feels comfortable. Spend about 60 seconds on each section, or slightly longer on knots or sensitive areas.
Battle ropes can give you a full body workout and they’re a great exercise to raise your heart rate and improve your endurance. They’re a versatile piece of equipment so you can make them more or less challenging depending on the effort you put in.
Waves: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, in a half squat. Relax the shoulders away from your ears and try to keep your body loose as you move your arms up and down to create a wave motion with the battle ropes. Include it as part of a HIIT circuit or as a finisher at the end of an upper body workout – try 20 seconds on/20 seconds rest for eight rounds.
TRX straps can help to strengthen your upper and lower body, using your own body weight as the resistance. They also help you engage your core and glutes as you work to hold your body in the correct alignment.
TRX rows: stand in front of the TRX, hold the handles and walk your feet forward until your body is in a diagonal line underneath the TRX. Your body should follow a straight line from your shoulders to your hips and your ankles. Begin with the arms straight and with control pull your body up towards the straps, opening the chest and squeezing the shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Slowly lower the body back to the start position.
Body weight training helps to build, strengthen and maintain lean muscle and it’s easier on the joints than weight training. Pull ups will not only give you a great upper body workout but will target the core and glutes.
Pull ups: take an underhand grip on the bar, with your hands shoulder-width apart. Begin the movement with your arms straight, push your shoulder blades back and down and pull your chest up towards the bar. With control, lower the body down until your arms are fully extended. Go at your own pace.
The leg press exercise machine strengthens the large lower body muscle groups such as the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings. The seated position means the machine can isolates these specific muscles, allowing them to be loaded in a safe way. The leg press also acts as a good alternative to squatting.
Leg presses: sit with your back flat against the back rest and plant your feet onto the platform with your feet hip-width apart. Begin with your knees bent and brace your core before pushing the platform away until your legs are fully extended.
The lat pulldown isolates and strengthens the large back and shoulder muscles, which help hold our spine and encourage correct posture.
Lat pulldowns: hold the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, sit in an upright position with a long spine. Draw your shoulder blades back and down while you pull the bar in towards your chest, squeezing the shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement. With control, fully extend the arms back to the start position.
This exercise machine is guaranteed to raise your heart rate, working the heart and lunges. It’s an effective full body workout and is great for building your stamina and endurance.
Cardio: place your feet into the straps and adjust so that the straps sit across the top of your foot and below the toes. Always stick to the ‘leg, arms, arms, legs’ rule when working on your rowing technique. Push back with your legs, pull with your arms, extend your arms then bend your knees. Pull the handle into your body, below your rib cage and above your navel. Keep your gaze looking forward and draw your shoulder blades together at the end of the pull. Think long, powerful strokes.

The parks maintenance contract is coming to an end in April 2016 and Cllr Jane Edbrooke, cabinet member for culture, has led on reviewing how we take the service forward – especially in light of the parks maintenance specification as set out in Culture 2020.
There is a significant reduction to the parks budget from next year thanks to severe central Government cuts to our funding, and we’ve been determined to find a way forward which safeguards our parks and provides value for money.
We had a really clear steer from residents involved with Brockwell Park and from local Labour Party members that the possibility of taking the grounds maintenance contract in house should be explored as a means to get better value for money from available funds. We raised this aspiration with the cabinet members.
We are therefore really pleased that it has been recommended to cabinet that the parks service be brought back in-house.We believe this is great news – not only will the grounds staff have better terms and conditions than they currently have, we will be able to look towards integration with other services like our grounds maintenance on housing estates.
More information can be found here and we are happy to answer any questions. We expect the decision on this recommendation to take place on 14th December, and anticipate that should we go ahead we will establish a direct labour force from April 2016.

A U.S. citizen wrongly imprisoned for two months as a result of the Secure Communities immigration enforcement program filed a lawsuit today against the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for violating his rights under the Privacy Act.
The plaintiff, James Makowski, became a U.S. citizen when he was one year old and has had a U.S. passport since an early age. Moreover, Mr. Makowski was accepted into the U.S. Marines in 2004 and underwent an FBI check as part of that process. Nevertheless, DHS never updated its records to reflect Mr. Makowski’s citizenship. When Mr. Makowski was arrested by local law enforcement, he suddenly found himself caught up in the immigration system.
As with every person arrested in jurisdictions where Secure Communities is activated, Mr. Makowski’s fingerprints were sent from the FBI to a DHS database. DHS’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued an “immigration detainer” against Mr. Makowski without ever interviewing him or providing him the opportunity to produce his U.S. passport, social security card, or driver’s license. The immigration detainer asks a state or local law enforcement agency not to release the individual. Due to the immigration detainer, Mr. Makowski was wrongfully imprisoned for two months until he was able to hire an attorney to convince DHS to rescind its detainer.
In his lawsuit—the first litigation challenging Secure Communities—Mr. Makowski asks the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois to find that the Department of Justice and DHS violated the law in their treatment of his records, and to hold them liable for damages.
Mr. Makowski is represented by Heartland Alliance’s National Immigrant Justice Center and pro bono partner McDermott Will & Emery LLP.

The Relco P-800 is an 800W solid state induction sealing system built in modular construction for OEM incorporation into a wide range of filling and sealing machines. The induction sealing heads are specially designed by Relco exactly to meet customer requirements (both for standard ‘foil in cap’ and ‘capless’ applications). These sealing heads can be mounted directly on the customer’s sealing turret, onto an indexing star-wheel or in a linear indexing system. The P-800 sealing heads can even be fitted inside an Aseptic filing chamber or into other ESL filling lines allowing hermetic sealing of bottles whilst still in the aseptic/sterile atmosphere.
The P-800 is designed to provide maximum flexibility for use in all sealing applications whether with or without a cap (ie. as a replacement for conduction sealing). This system can be used to retro-fit onto existing sealing machines where it can replace old conduction sealing heads and upgrade the machine to induction. The P-800 is extremely compact, requires no external cooling and can be fitted into almost any kind of filler/sealer with very little modification. The P-800 is connected to the sealing heads, a power source (220-240v single phase) and wired to the customer’s PLC.

A tray of bubbling hot lasagna is the perfect winter comfort food. Tonight, I am making a gooey melting 5-cheeses lasagna.
Cheeses are the star in this vegetarian lasagna recipe. It features creamy ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar and blue cheese.
The hint of blue cheese is rare, but it adds an elegant taste to this dish. Although, it is meatless, but I have added sweet potato mash, zucchini and mushroom to make it more substantial. It turns out pretty spectacular.
This meal will satisfy any hunger your family may have. So treat them tonight to a meal they won’t stop raving about.
Slice zucchini and mushrooms into thin disks.
Melt the butter in the fry pan. Lightly saute zucchini disks and sliced in a pan on medium heat until browned.
Cook sweet potato until soften and roughly mashed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, cheddar and blue cheese together with cottage cream. Mix well. Top with Parmesan cheese powder.
To assemble, place a lasagna sheet at the bottom.
First spread sweet potato mash; top with zucchini disks and finally sauteed mushrooms.
Spoon the mixed cheese mixture on top.
Repeat with 2 more layers.
Top with mozzarella cheese and more sprinkle of parmesan cheese powder.
Place the in the middle of the oven.
Bake at 200C for 40 minutes or until the top is golden and the lasagna is bubbly at the bottom.
Leave to cool for 15 minutes before slicing it.
If there are any leftover, freeze them for lunch the next day.
No one will ever guess how easy this hearty cheesy lasagna is to make. The use of no-boil lasagna noodle sheets can save a lot of time.

We are blessed in the Bay of Plenty with more sunshine than most of NZ. Those warm and sunny days will inspire you to grab your sun-block and hat – leave your worries on the doorstep and get outdoors to walk, run, cycle, or get involved in the numerous sports the bay has to offer. As the song goes, life is indeed sweet on the sunny side of the street!
What happens though when the sun does not shine and the temperatures drop? Even though it is cooler and wetter, the benefits of exercise outdoors remain the same.
Daily exercise, no matter how unappealing the great outdoors may look through the rain smeared window, will still bring a host of health benefits. Daily exercise will improve your: immunity, heart, circulation, breathing, bowels, muscles, joints, energy, brain health, memory, mood and mental health. Exercise decreases symptoms of depression, anxiety, dementia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and most other illnesses.
The times you should not go out to exercise occur less often than you might think. Do not go if the weather is so severe it could be a danger to life and limb. Do not go if you have a high temperature, an infection, feel dizzy or feel faint.
If you do not feel energized and uplifted after a brisk short walk you may have health problems that need more attention. You may have blood sugar imbalances, or lack important nutrients such as GTF Chromium, high quality fats, iron, and B vitamins.
How long should you exercise? This depends on what you are able to do now. Even 5 minutes a day for someone very debilitated brings benefits. If you have no major problems aim for 30 minutes a day every day. The strange thing is that even wet cold weather can be invigorating to body mind and soul – you just need grab your coat and hat and get out there!

Helps protect the heart, blood vessels, brain, retina and other nervous tissues.
Co-Q10 plays some valuable and very important roles in the human body. It plays critical roles in energy production, maintenance of cardiovascular function and is a powerful antioxidant. It is required to produce energy by every cell in the human body. As an antioxidant it prevents generation of free radicals and protects the human DNA from oxidative damage.
It is of special significance for older people in supporting the normal aging process. It has gained importance for people who take cholesterol drugs (statins) which are known to produce a deficiency of Co Q10 levels by 26-57% causing muscle weakness, lack of energy etc.
It supports the body’s normal blood pressure regulating mechanism and helps in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.
Co-Q10 protects the heart, blood vessels, brain and other nervous tissues including the retina from free radical damage. It is present in higher energy utilization as in the heart, liver, muscles etc. With age our ability to produce adequate amount of Co-Q10 decreases.

This whole "fishing trip" thing didn't really work out. The fish weren't cooperating. There were setbacks or disappointments in Yeppoon, Mackay, and Dingo Beach, so the guys decided to try one last spot, Stanage. From everything we heard, Stanage is a fishing hotspot. A lot of this information said the best fishing was by boat, but other sources said there was plenty to be caught by land fishing as well. Sam and Matt gave it their best, but Stanage was yet another in a long line of fishing letdowns.
That's not to say we didn't have a nice time! Stanage was a very isolated spot to visit, and we had some excellent sightseeing.
We went deep into crocodile territory, but still saw no crocs. We even camped in the territory of "Snappy," the fabled crocodile that lurks around Stanage and sneaks up on people for a nibble. However, a fruitless Google search for crocodile indents in Stanage leads me to believe he might be a myth.
We drove along the water just before sunset and saw some beautiful cliffs and rock formations. It was incredibly windy, but so beautiful that we spent a lot of time admiring the views.
Our scenic drive brought us face to face with a mob of wallabies on more than one occasion. They're pretty jumpy, and the light was fading, so I don't have many photos to show for it. They remind me a lot of deer in Texas when they run away en masse.
After dark, a tiny thing bounced across the road and we weren't sure what it was. I'm guessing it was a red-necked pademelon.
Packing up the tent on our last morning in Stanage, I spotted one last little animal, a spider hiding behind a leaf. I'm still not sure what species it was, but since we're in Australia, I decided not to get too close. It will be nice to be in New Zealand again, where I know none of the animals can kill me!

A lot of Bragging going on lately.
I'm about a third through. I'm not a big fan of quoting other authors when refuting a statement or fact/ fiction, and Hess does this ad nauseam. Also, he uses Lee's failures at Malvern Hill and Antietam (not sure that was a failure) to offset Bragg's Kentucky adventures. Again, not finished but not sold yet.
I'm half way through the book and enjoying it so far. I believe Bragg probably catches more grief than he deserves really and a lot of it probably stems from the same things being said about him over and over through the years. I think we get a certain depiction of something or someone ingrained in our head sometimes, and that can be hard to lose. Subordinates definitely dropped the ball under his command often. McLemore's Cove jumps out as a big one to me. Bragg certainly had his faults and he handled situations poorly with his commanders. But at the same time, one of them is Leonidas Polk we're talking about here, not George Patton. Can you blame him for not liking that guy? It's one thing if you have to put up with a good commander that you can't stand just because of his skill, but Bragg had to put up with the backstabbing, conniving Polk and deal with his ineptitude as a commander at the same time.
Hess isn't afraid to point out where Bragg failed though and points out that, in his opinion, he should have stepped down after Stones River, when round robin letters, distrust and back stabbing kicked things up beyond the point of no return for him and majority of his senior commanders. I'm just now getting to Tullahoma/Chickamauga/Chattanooga, where things start to fall apart quickly, but I think it's a fair assessment of Bragg so far without resorting to the usual "punching bag of the Confederacy" stuff.
Yes, I am no expert on Bragg, but Hess seems pretty fair. As I said in the review, this is not an attempt to rehab Bragg, but it is less myth and more documentation.
Did you finish? What did you think?
Pat. Thanks for offering this wonderful and enlightening review of Hess's book on Braxton Bragg. I have this book but I have not read it yet. I have all of Hess's books and have found them to be relatively well written and very well researched. I find him to be a very competent historian and he is also a very good presenter and lecturer however, he is not as good as my friend Eric Wittenberg, in my opinion. Question for you Pat: In a previous life were you a book review editor by chance? In my opinion, you are a very good writer and I enjoy very much reading your well written book reviews. Keep up the great work. Regards and Cheers. David.
I think Pat has his short term memory in tact. Mine flew out the window in the 70s. I can remember the number on the bus I rode to school in when I was 6, but I could not tell you what I read last night. OK I am reread Author Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories from Strand Magazine.

Not a book review editor, but definitely a book review reader. I was talking to @KansasFreestater in Gettysburg in September and and we both confessed to being inveterate readers of the New York Times Book Review, to which she subscribes. She said that she can never get around to reading all the books she wants to, but the reviews give her a chance to get the most salient parts of the books reviewed. I am the same way.
I like the long-form reviews in the New York Review of Books, and on a couple of occasions I have tried my had at them here, but for the most part I stick to the shorter New York Times Book Review approach.
Thanks for reading the reviews I write. Unlike my less thought out posts on other things, the reviews take me about two hours each to write. It would not be worth my time to write them if you did not read them.
...and thanks for your kindness in writing.
What @christian soldier said! I SO appreciate your reviews AND also wonder.... how do you find the time to do them all AND take care of immigration?
Unlike my less thought out posts on other things, the reviews take me about two hours each to write.

Earl J. Hess's provocative new biography, Braxton Bragg: The Most Hated Man of the Confederacy, sets out to correct the historical record about the Confederacy's most controversial army commander. In taking on the South's favorite lightning rod, Hess has set a difficult task for himself. Few generals inspire as much criticism, disdain, and even outright loathing as Braxton Bragg. The irascible North Carolinian's reputation for military incompetence, harsh discipline, the wanton execution of his own soldiers, and tone-deaf mismanagement of his officers dogged him during the war and has tainted him ever since. And, unlike Union luminaries such as Ulysses Grant, William Sherman, and George Thomas, all of whom have benefited from recent historiography, Bragg's defenders are a small and embattled lot, if they can be found at all.
Hess concludes that Bragg "was neither a hapless fool nor a brilliant general" and that he "failed more often than succeeded." He assures us that Bragg was not universally hated by his army, nor was he a murderous "ogre," "friendless," or "cold toward his wife" (266). That is hardly a ringing endorsement of Bragg as a general, or even as a human being, and seems perilously close to ****ing with faint praise. Even so, Hess is resolute in his insistence that many of Bragg's supposed flaws were not his fault. Bragg was, Hess reminds us, a capable administrator and organizer, a stern disciplinarian, and a commander with a good deal of strategic insight. Still, one cannot escape the impression that Bragg was, and likely will remain, a cipher. "In the end," Hess admits, "we have to take Bragg for what he was, even if we cannot thoroughly explain how he came to be" (275). This, in fact, may be the most important lesson Hess imparts to us, and the greatest contribution of this welcome biography.
Bragg’s reputation is not apt to suddenly undergo a Renaissance—150 years of entrenched preconceptions is too much for any one book to overcome—but Hess’s sympathetic but balanced reassessment should give readers ample reason to reconsider any long-held assumptions and prejudices. In his prologue, Hess suggested that he wanted to craft a study that would transform Bragg “from a cardboard figure into a real person with admirable personal qualities as well as distressing personal faults” (xii). Braxton Bragg succeeds in recasting “the most hated man in the Confederacy” into one of the most interesting.
Pat. Thank you very much for yet another great book review. I think Earl Hess is one of the premiere historians writing civil war scholarly material today. His works are always very well researched as well as very well written and extremely accurate. David.
Pat. Thank you very much for yet another great book review.
But is Bragg's universally besmirched reputation justified? Perhaps no historian is better qualified to reassess General Bragg than Earl Hess, arguably the finest historian of the western theater today. Hess brings his typical logical acuity, thorough research and clear prose, to bear in his latest work, Braxton Bragg: The Most Hated Man of the Confederacy. Hess concludes that contemporaries and later historians largely exaggerated Bragg's negative reputation but that Bragg undermined his own case by engaging in quixotic and public critical campaigns against top subordinates after the battle of Stones River in January 1863.

A 92-year-old Kindertransport survivor who arrived in London as a child 80 years ago has told LBC what his first impression of Britain was.
Austrian-born Harry Bibring was sent from Nazi-occupied Austria to Britain by his parents in 1939.
He and his sister were one of nearly 10,000 child refugees who arrived in the UK through Kindertransport before WW2 broke out.
The plan was for their parents to join them as soon as they could - but that never happened.
Harry’s father died of a heart attack in 1940 and his mother was deported to the death camp at Sobibór in German-occupied Poland in 1942.
In an interview with Shelagh Fogarty, he described what his first memory of arriving at London Liverpool Street railway station was.
“We had our noses stuck up against the train windows as it pulled in,” he said.
“My sister was standing next to me and I said to her ‘somebody very important died here today’.
“She said ‘what on earth are you talking about?’ to which I said ‘all these undertakers on the platform’.
It emerged a young Mr Bibring had confused the site of police officers and their black helmets to those of undertakers.

Transparent financial reporting in both the public and private sectors, held to high standards by a strong accounting and auditing profession, was the primary topic of discussion at the International Forum on Accountancy Development. The forum was sponsored by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) on June 15 in New York City.
"In partnership with the international financial institutions and major development agencies, the accountancy profession proposes to expand its contribution to the development of the global financial architecture through the building of the accounting and auditing capacity of the developing countries and transitional economies," said Frank Harding, IFAC president. "Between them, they have various roles which will enhance the quality of reporting and of accountability leading to increased investment in and improvement to their economics."
Achieving this will require a clear framework of corporate governance and regulation. The profession will seek to harmonize national practice on the basis of globally accepted accounting, auditing, and ethical standards backed by education and training. The forum will also help harness funds and expertise to enhance accounting and auditing capability and resources.
Forum membership included international financial institutions, key international organizations, and important members of the accounting and auditing professions, all of whom have an interest in enhanced transparency through better financial reporting, more accountable control environments, and management of financial risk. The accounting and auditing profession was represented by IFAC, the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), IFAC's regional organizations, and representatives of the Big Five international accounting firms.
The use of international accounting standards as the minimum benchmark for raising national accounting standards.
The raising of auditing standards and practices to a common, high level using international auditing standards as the benchmark.
The use of the IFAC Code of Ethics, notably its position on independence, as the basis for a worldwide code of conduct.
The enhancement of education and training of professional accountants.
The forum set up a small group to develop specific implementation proposals and commissioned task forces to look at the utility of disclosure statements in enhancing transparency and the role of the accounting and auditing profession in the global financial architecture. The forum's next meeting will take place October 2122 in Paris.

Botanical Survey of India is one of the oldest organisations of the country, established in 13 February 1890 and a premier research organisation under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. It has observed its 127-year foundation day on 13 February 2017, followed by a three-day Scientific Meet. All the scientific officials from sixteen of its regional centres/units across the country including five units situated in Kolkata/Howrah, participated in the Scientific Meet held from 14 to 16 February at Central National Herbarium, Howrah.
The inaugural function began with a welcome address by Dr. Paramjit Singh, the Director of Botanical Survey of India, followed by the keynote address by Dr. P.K. Hajra, former Director, who emphasised the pivotal role (as parataxonomists) played by the retired technical staff, who inspired the young botanists in the past. Dr. Kailash Chandra, the Director of Zoological Survey of India, discussed about the importance of the two oldest surveys of the country, BSI and ZSI and their role in documenting the floral and faunal diversity of India. Dr. R.K. Chakravarty, Dr. S.K. Basu and Dr. D.C. Pal, the retired scientists of BSI outlined their experiences and journey in the organization through their lectures on the field of their specialisation. During this occasion two products of BSI ENVIS Centre (CD and a pamphlet) were released by the dignitaries. The inaugural function was ended with vote of thanks by Er. A.K. Pathak, Scientist ‘G’, BSI.
The Scientific Meet began on 14 February 2017 with an introductory note by Er. Pathak, who outlined the aims of organising a Scientific Meet of such kind for the first time in the history of Botanical Survey of India. A total of 109 presentations were made during these three-day scientific meet by the scientists, botanists and botanical assistants of the organisation from various regional centres and units. The participants highlighted the significant scientific accomplishments in the mandates of BSI: documentation of diversity of various plant groups (including fungi, lichens and algae), various natural habitats, National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, Biosphere Reserves, assessing the population and status of endemic and threatened plants, botanical knowledge of indigenous communities and conservation management using conventional and modern techniques during their research career.

Every autumn, hundreds upon thousands of adult Atlantic salmon make their way up creeks, brooks, and streams all over New Brunswick to spawn. By the light of the moon, metre-long females dig gravel nests known as ‘redds’. A single female can lay up to 15000 eggs that remain buried in the gravel over winter, slowly developing into tiny, bug-eyed fish babies.
It’s well known that winter in Canada is long and hard, and underwater it isn’t any different. A chill creeps through the water and slows their tiny metabolic rates to a crawl. Eventually, the ice breaks up and scours the gravel riverbed – some of the eggs end up crushed under boulders or scraped up on shore, while others end up in pockets of low oxygen and suffocate. In the best case scenarios, about 40% survive.
The eggs hatch into clumsy baby fish known as ‘alevins’. They have eyes the size of their heads, and enormous yolk sacs on their bellies to sustain them until their insect prey hatch later in the spring – providing that their hatch was timed correctly. Hindered by these yolk sacs, alevins are poor swimmers and vulnerable prey to hungry river fish and birds.
The first year is often the hardest. The tiny fish must forage constantly and evade predators like trout, hungry birds, and even other juvenile salmon. If they survive the following winter to become parr, they will have to spend two more years of foraging and fighting for their lives before they become adults. Environmental threats like hot summer temperatures and frigid winter ones combined with pollution and low oxygen levels can kill more parr than predators can! By the time they’re teenagers, only 5% of their siblings will have survived.
After several winters in the stream, a set of environmental cues will trigger a dramatic change. The parr, who have lived their entire life in freshwater, will begin to overhaul their physiology in preparation for a life in saltwater. They must change the way their gills filter water, the way they eliminate waste, and the way they camouflage themselves. Turning from brown to silver in colour, they are now called smolt, and they complete their transformation while migrating through a labyrinth of streams to the ocean. Along the way, they encounter new species of hungry fish, birds, and aggressive adult salmon headed upstream to spawn. Of the smolts who leave their freshwater homes, only half will complete their journey to the sea.
When they reach the ocean, they gorge themselves on smaller fish and shrimp, doubling, tripling or even quadrupling in size in a matter of months. They follow their prey from Nova Scotia to Greenland, meeting up with comrades from Newfoundland, Ireland and Norway along the way. But all too often they aren’t the only ones gorging themselves – commercial fishermen follow the hordes of hungry fish, hauling enormous, fish-filled nets out of the water daily.
Eventually, the surviving adults turn away from their feast and head back to their home streams. Females fat with eggs and males spoiling for a fight navigate through estuaries filled with pollution, rivers blocked by dams, and streams littered with avid fly fishermen. The few that make it to their destination dig gravel nests and lay the next generation of eggs. Spent adults drift back to the ocean to gorge themselves again – they may make this spawning journey several more times in the following years.

If you ask people, many of them will tell you that they are not afraid of dying so much as they may be afraid of outliving your resources. No one looks forward to the time when you can no longer care for yourself. When that time comes, your ability to live as good a life as physically possible will depend on what preparations you make today. Exercise, eat right, stay mentally fit and financially prepared.
Long-term care can be expensive and costs can quickly impact a person’s financial security. People are living longer, which increases the odds of developing a chronic illness that could require ongoing care. If the day comes that you are unable to do basic things, such as dressing yourself, getting in and out of bed, eating a meal or going to the bathroom alone, you will need to be prepared for the costs of paying professional caregivers for the help you need.
As health care costs escalate, an increasing number of people are protecting themselves by planning for long-term care. Though Medicare covers skilled care for acute conditions such as heart attacks and broken bones, in general, it does not cover the custodial care required for chronic medical conditions.
When making your plans for a secure retirement, it’s also important to consider long-term care needs as a way of helping to protect your assets so they aren’t exhausted by possible extended-care costs. By planning ahead, you can help maintain your independence and help ensure you have financial security to live your life your way.
There are quite a few factors to consider when planning for long-term care. For this reason, it’s important to work with a financial professional who understands your needs, and who can design a plan that will meet those needs at a cost you can afford. Specifically, look for a financial professional who is supported by a well-established company with a solid history of strength and stability. A company that is well-positioned to deliver long-term value and will be there when you need it most.

By default, StopTheMadness has ⌘-Click and Drag and Drop protections enabled. A side effect of these protections is that you’re also protected from link hijacking. Why? Clicking on a link in a browser is preceded and triggered by mousedown and mouseup events. Thus, if a web site could hijack these events, it could prevent the link click from working as expected. This is why StopTheMadness prevents mousedown and mouseup events from getting hijacked when you ⌘-click on a link. But what about clicks without the ⌘ key? StopTheMadness prevents mousedown from getting hijacked whenever you click on a link, even without the ⌘ key, because dragging a link in a browser is preceded and triggered by a mousedown event. For full protection against link hijacking, then, you need both ⌘-Click and Drag and Drop protections enabled (as they both are by default).
I’ve stopped using Ghostery and other content-blocking/anti-tracking Safari plug-ins because I’m tired of them breaking sites. StopTheMadness provides less privacy protection, but it fixes the really annoying things that sites do while causing far fewer problems.
Michael, you should really look into AdGuard for macOS, or the less capable but free AdGuard for Safari.
The only sites they "break" are the most invasive on your privacy. Yes, I also run "Stop the Madness" which just added FireFox support.
I did find that UBlock Origin (also) breaks things, but in all cases sites that you need "not to be broken" can be whitelisted.
The nice thing is that Stop the Madness does not conflict with either AdG or UBo in my experience.
@Leo Yeah, I know I can whitelist, but it’s maddening to waste time with a site not working because I didn’t realize I needed to whitelist it, or I only whitelisted it on my other Mac, or in the other blocker, etc. Often, when something breaks, I’ve already entered a bunch of information into the site, and it gets lost if I have to back up and whitelist.

It appears that the two biggest names in satellite television service in the United States may be looking into the possibilities of a merger.
According to multiple sources speaking with Bloomberg, Dish Network Corp. Chairman Charlie Ergen has contacted Mike White, Chief Executive Office of DirecTV, to propose a potential merger between the two companies.
Apparently the proposal was made in response to the proposed purchase of Time Warner Cable Inc. by Comcast Corp. for $45 billion. Considering that the Federal Trade Commission, the Writers Guild of America and many states are opposed to that merger, however, it seems unlikely that it will be completed leaving one to wonder if a similar deal would need to be struck between the two satellite providers.
One source told Bloomberg that is the exact reason that White has been reluctant to entering any form of formal negotiations. “While I certainly believe our industry has changed substantially and I believe there are a lot of reasons why consolidation in our industry would be pro-consumer to try and improve the balance between programmers and distributors, you still have to go sell that in Washington,” White said in a statement this past December.
The talks are said to only be occurring between senior officials at this time with no formality connected to them. DirecTV is currently the leading satellite provider with 20 million subscribers, and Dish Network servicing 14 million.

text: All kids love Disney, especially babies. We recently had the pleasure of making a Disney Baby inspired cake for a very special little boy’s first birthday. This blue and yellow confection featured lots of details with pops of green for contrast. We love to add a little jazz to our cake boards. We did so with this board by covering the board with gold foil and using a tiny polka dot ribbon around the edge. This cake is unique in that it contains printed edible images of the Disney characters. We’ve got Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy! Atop the cake were various sizes of mouse ears made of fondant. To add a bit of flair we used chevron striped straws to hold the mouse ears. Little J.R. and his parents really loved the cake.

Tooth troubles? Book online appointment now .
What is buildup of broken teeth?
Broken teeth do not always need to be removed. They can be restored to look and function like your normal teeth.
A tooth that is chipped at the corner can be built up using cosmetic filling materials. It is a single sitting procedure and leaves your tooth looking like new.
For a slightly bigger fracture, the tooth can also be restored to normal by capping it or veneering it with a ceramic laminate.
For teeth broken at the root level, the procedure requires multiple steps and sittings.
1. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is done to take support from the root for buildup of the broken tooth.
2. A cap that takes support only from the root will eventually break the tooth further at the root. The support from the remaining crown of the tooth is obtained by removing some of the gums covering the crown. Now both the root and the crown are ready to support the buildup.
3. A "post" is like a pillar that goes in the ground (the golden rod like structure in the picture above). The post goes into the root of the broken tooth, and its second part called "core" builds up the core structure of the tooth crown.
4. A cap or artificial dental crown is then made to seat on the core precisely to restore normal looks and function.
5. The cap is cemented or fixed onto the broken tooth.
What else should I know about Buildup of Broken Teeth?
The "posts" that are used to buildup broken teeth can be made of metal, fiber glass or ceramic. The trend nowadays is more towards the use of fiber glass posts. They are more cosmetic is the tooth has to be capped with a cosmertic cermaic crown, and more scientifically advisable in most situations.
A tooth restored with a post and core stands the possibility of fracturing again in later life, in which case it usually becomes difficult to save. So does that mean you should opt to have the broken tooth removed and replaced by an artificial substitute like dental implant?
You should seek a specialist opinion in deciding to save or replace an extensively fractured tooth. The dental specialists to restore broken teeth are Prosthodontists and Endodontists. If the tooth can be restored by "post and core procedure" and the procedure is done properly at the hands of an expert, natural teeth should always be saved as long as possible.
