Mike Viney. “Lightning,” 2007. Apple Parer Museum.
Yikes! This aggressive-looking machine is patented under the name “Lightning” and is cold to the touch. Because it’s made from cast iron, when you lift it, its weight drags your whole body down and turns your arm to pudding. It has four gears; each is a different size, and each is necessary. When activated, these gears grind, whip, and spin a single two-pronged fork against a sharpened, diagonally suspended knife.
But the Lightning is not a weapon—it’s an apple parer!
Among the New-York Historical Society’s collection of treasures is a group of around 60 apple parers. Most were given to the Museum by a single donor: Charles L. Robinson. These objects have been written about in the past, but continue to provide fruitful historical context each time they are freshly examined (puns intended). This holiday season, they remind our visitors of the special place that the apple holds in our national memory, and they demonstrate how objects in our kitchens are cultural artifacts.
At the center of American national mythology is the American kitchen. New-York Historical’s collection of Hudson River School paintings of “untouched” American landscapes celebrate the nation’s abundance of natural resources. (Of course, this landscape was not untouched—Native Americans built homes, governments, and civil societies on this land for centuries before settler colonialism.) Similarly, our recent exhibition of Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms demonstrated how iconic images of American families sitting at dinner tables helped to establish the post-war American identity.

Today, when young students learn American history, they too study symbols of national identity that emphasize the nation’s plentiful access to food resources. Students learn about a delicious national identity that they can eat, smell, and taste. While Thanksgiving, for example, celebrates the abundant American landscape, the holiday also honors the nation’s mechanical, industrial, and chemical resources. These tools power the modern mechanical harvest and transport the American bounty to local grocery stores.
American consumers’ patriotic identification with abundance secured through industry can be traced back to the Lightning apple parer in 1863. When the Lightning received its U.S. patent, the industrial revolution was about to kick into a second phase of growth (appropriately called the Second Industrial Revolution) and the country was in the middle of the Civil War.
First, this apple parer is an artifact of 19th-century techno-optimism. Its many gears celebrate the liberating power of machines. It is large and heavy. The noises it emits while operating—a halting squeak, a loud hum, a rusty rattle, a grunt from its human handler—bring 19th-century factory noises into the kitchen. If the makers of the Lightning wanted to create a simpler, more streamlined apple parer, they could have—all one needs to pare an apple is a knife. Instead, they created a mechanical showpiece. “Look at what machines can do!” the Lightning tells consumers. They are so complicated! And so beautiful! They will only make your life easier! Operators simply crank the Lightning’s handle to elegantly separate a perfect, unbroken, peeled ribbon of skin from the flesh of an apple. Like magic; true perfection. With the Lightning, any person could transform their kitchen into an assembly line equipped to churn out delicious products along a ribbon of perfection.

A kitchen tool like the Lightning negotiates the complicated shifting of gender roles in industrial America. Could women operate machines and bring home paychecks and still be feminine? In response to this question, the Lightning casts kitchen work as a feminine foil to factory labor and neutralizes the formidable power of industrial machinery by placing it on the kitchen table. Let us hit pause on this background montage of strong women cranking away at their Lightnings for a moment to map the development of industrial cities in the United States at this time.
The Lightning was patented in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War, a war in which the outcome was ultimately determined by access to industrial power. During this period, the nation’s industrial centers were concentrated in northern states, while the South had little manufacturing infrastructure and limited connection to railroad transportation networks. According to the National Park Service, “by 1860, 90 percent of the nation’s manufacturing output came from northern states,” which, among other things, allowed them to harness greater agricultural productivity than the South because of their deployment of farm machinery. In an environment like this, the apple parer’s celebration of industrial innovation is bound to a system that provided a war-time advantage to the North.
This Civil War context also gives new meaning to the design of the apple parer, which visually resembles a weapon. Only men were allowed to serve combat roles in the United States, though thousands of women were deployed to the frontlines where they served heroically as nurses. Thus, the Lightning evokes poignant parallels between women handling combat-style kitchen equipment and their spouses fighting the deadliest war in our nation’s history armed with their own heavy machinery. Both warfare and cooking involve careful management of fire, chemistry, and strategy. While Civil War soldiers made sacrifices on battlefields, their wives made sacrifices at home to protect their families.
The Lightning potentially toes the Mason-Dixon Line in another fascinating way. The most popular advertisements for “Lightning apple parer advertisement” are for the Lightning peach-parer. It is interesting that the Lightning’s makers advertised their product as a piece of equipment flexible enough to handle these two specific fruits: an apple, which is native to the North, and a peach, a staple of the South. Indeed a kitchen tool used to prepare fruits for pies tells a history more complicated than one might expect.
Everyday objects tell layered stories. The things we collect in our homes and our kitchens are bound to histories that are political, scientific, and cultural. This holiday season, we encourage you to dig into the history of your festive table.

Things got started off to a great start at Camp CoBeAc. The churches of the Great Lakes Youth Conference got together and we had an amazing week. Highlights include parents in tears watching as their son accepts Christ as his Savior on a Tuesday night! Watching as well as teens learned how to pray for lost people and their lost friend for whom they were praying for got saved before the end of the week! It was an incredible thing to behold the excitement of teens over not sports, not games, BUT souls!! Fantastic week!! Able to get acquainted with some great churches and youth pastors as well.
Moved on over to Somerville, AL where it was an incredibly busy week, but was wonderful to watch as 16 came to know Christ as their Savior. The VBS was action packed and I was busily preaching around 28x's this week! God moved and we were thankful to have a part.
Now we are in Camp Bethel in Amherst, Va, and things are moving in the right direction. Praying for teens to get saved this week, as we know that there are some who are not saved. Thanks for your prayers as we continue to serve Him!

I am happy to announce that Brave New World "will remain on the list of approved materials Seattle high school teachers may use in their language arts curriculum" writes Linda Thomas on mynorthwest.com. "The Seattle School Board vote last night to continue allowing its schools to use the book was unanimous."
"I am opposed to banning of any book," says Harium Martin-Morris. "If we go down that road, it is a road that is a dangerous one. Do we now say we won't do Huckleberry Finn because of its portrayal of African Americans. Do we get rid of Native Sun ? The list goes on and on." He called these kinds of books an "opportunity to talk candidly with our students - our very capable and knowledgeable and quite frankly very savvy high school students - about these topics."
Another board member, Peter Maier, says he re-read the book recently and it is clearly satirical. He supports making the Aldous Huxley novel available as a high school text.
"I don't believe that censorship is the right answer," says Steve Sundquist, board vice president. "If a teacher wants to teach this text, clearly I want it done in a culturally sensitive and appropriate way."
It's nice to know I'm not totally "out there" while I'm writing these blog posts. I sometimes get caught up in my own personal objections and then rant and rave about this and that while making points that can be considered questionable at best. But this time, I was not far off the mark. It's nice to know that a school board is finally standing up for a text based on it's merit and teachability rather than backing down based on an unwillingness to deal with conflict.

Why Install a Hot and Cold Outdoor Water Faucet on Your Atlanta Home?

Enjoy Gleaming Windows – Make your windows sparkle with hot water straight from your hose. There’s no need bring buckets of hot water outside to loosen up stuck-on dirt. A little window cleaner with hot water from the hose will have your windows sparkling and streak free in a flash.
Give the Dog a Comfortable Bath – Who wouldn’t want to bathe their muddy dog outdoors and avoid the hassle of tracking a dirty dog indoors to the bathtub?

Beware! HurricaneAssets has stopped paying! Do not invest there!
Hello everyone! Before this evenings news update, which I can tell you now includes another new program being added to my monitor, I want to start off by continuing with the latest round of program reviews that have been added to MNO since things got back to normal after the holidays. Today it’s the turn of one called HurricaneAssets, a long term program which seems to be of good quality and up to a reasonable standard on most of its features. Room for improvement mind as I shall be explaining in just a moment, but still good enough to make a lasting and positive first impression. So let’s take a closer at HurricaneAssets and what they offer potential investors, and see if there’s anything there you might like to add to your portfolios.
Starting with the investment plans, HurricaneAssets have two of them. Well, the website describes itself as having six of them, but in fact you can separate them into two categories – the first one being more of a test style plan for small deposits worth less than $60 only (and with a low ROI to go with it), and the five remaining plans which operate the same way only to pay higher returns to larger deposits. The Starter Plan as it’s called can be joined for a $10 minimum and runs for 30 business days, which is six weeks. During that time HurricaneAssets will pay you 0.9% interest every day from Monday to Friday, adding up to 27% in total by expiry. This then becomes your net profit once HurricaneAssets return your original deposit. 27% profit for six weeks is pretty damn good in my opinion by the way, at least in comparison with what you find in the “real world”, but unfortunately the admin has seen fit to limit investments here to a Maximum $59.
For deposits of $60 and upwards then there follows a series of plans that all run for 150 business days (30 weeks) and make a daily payment based on how much you invested. The Advanced Plan includes all deposits up to a maximum value of $999 and so I guess will be the only one of any serious interest to the majority of you. HurricaneAssets daily interest rate is 1.1%, paid Monday to Friday, and coming to 165% in total by the end of the term. At that point HurricaneAssets should add your original deposit on top of that, leaving the 165% as your net profit.
Or to put that in monetary terms let’s say you were to spend $100 in this plan. HurricaneAssets offer to pay you $1.10 every business day until that adds up to $165 in total, at which point they then add your original hundred on top of that again. You would break even after 91 days, meaning you’ll have earned an amount equal to your deposit and so there’s no further personal risk to you from that point on. Not unless you’re using compounding that is, which HurricaneAssets are making available for all their plans.
Further investment options start at a $1,000 minimum deposit so I hope you’ll forgive me for taking the lazy way out and just giving you the most basic description. I mean if you have that kind of spare cash lying around to spend on HYIPs chances are you hardly need me to tell you much about anything! But for your information, the next level up in HurricaneAssets is The Professional Plan, offering 1.3% interest for 150 business days on deposits between $1,000 and a $4.999 maximum. This adds up to 195% in total which can be deemed net profit after the admin pays you back your principal as promised.
This is followed by The Expert Plan which is for investments ranging from $5,000 to $9,999. For the 150 business day term HurricaneAssets are offering a rate of 1.7% per day, Monday to Friday, with your principal then added to that on expiry. Net profit should hopefully add up to 255% net profit.
Next is The Senior Plan which sees HurricaneAssets offer 2.1% per day for 150 business days on deposits between $10,000 and $19,999, adding up to 315% net profit before your principal gets added to that as well.
And finally The Ultimate Plan is for any deposits of $20,000 or more. Unlikely to get many takers but if you’re wondering why programs even bother offering plans like this it’s probably because the admin is only hoping for one. Anyway, the offer if 2.4% per day for 150 business days, adding up to 360% profit in addition to your principal being returned as well.
Nothing unusual about the plans I think you’ll agree, all fairly standard for a long term HYIP of this style, but I am a little disappointed with HurricaneAssets choice of payment processors. Or should I say lack of choice, because right now they are only handling deposits via PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve. I mean there’s nothing there that can’t be fixed, or at least improved, but at a time in the industry when most of the bigger spenders expect all the most popular processors be available as a minimum requirement for them to join, it might just act as a barrier and slow things down a bit for the program. Payouts were promised to be instant, but I have to tell you that in the three days I’ve been monitoring HurricaneAssets I have yet to receive one single instant payout during that time myself. If in the event that instant payouts need to be disabled (and it often happens for some perfectly legitimate reasons, such as security issues, replenishing accounts, and so on) then the HurricaneAssets admin says he’ll be doing them manually and will have all transactions processed in no more than six hours. And that’s noteworthy for a longer term HYIP, as generally speaking they’re not usually as fast as that. It just seems a bit strange that instant payouts have been switched off for as long as they have. Transactions are allowed in your choice of either Dollars or Euros by the way, as HurricaneAssets are happy to receive both. I’m just describing the plans using Dollars for the sake of convenience, and because that’s what most readers favor. But if you prefer to deal in Euros then you’re more than welcome to spend them here.
Incidentally, while I’m still on the subject of the investment plans and moving money form one account to another, please note that there’s just one other feature you will have to be aware of when joining. The process of depositing itself is done in two stages – first you will need to fund your account in HurricaneAssets by clicking the “Deposit Funds” tab in the member’s area menu. It’s only after that that you make the actual investment via the “New Investment” tab. This is merely to re-direct the funds from your wallet to the plan you intended joining. I know it sounds simple to experienced investors but you’d be surprised how many people forget to do this, so remember that your money will just be sitting there doing nothing and not earning you any interest until you do this.
I must say though that things improve a bit with the security and design, which at first glance looks nice and sleek. HurricaneAssets is running off a unique and customized script for instance, which despite that is still quite user friendly and easy to navigate. Hosting is on a dedicated server with the support and protection of BlockDos, and if you have any further questions about anything to do with the program not covered here or any account related issues for the admin to deal with, then you can get in touch with HurricaneAssets by either filling in your details in the online support form and submitting it through the contacts page, or else by writing directly to one of the e-mail addresses listed.
As for the program’s alleged business activities, HurricaneAssets is supposedly involved with ForEx trading (which no doubt sounds familiar to most regular HYIP players by now) though very little evidence is offered to back that up. Texts have been copy/pasted and have been used in numerous other HYIPs long before this one came along, so that kinda puts an end to that story for me anyway. Not that I mean there’s a connection between HurricaneAssets and any other program, in fact it’s much more likely down to the designer than the admin, but I just make the point for the benefit of industry newbies that if someone can’t explain their own business in their own words than the business is unlikely to be genuine. HurricaneAssets, like any other online HYI program, comes with no small degree of risk attached, so make sure you behave accordingly. That means setting a strict spending limit that you can afford to lose, and of corse if joining HurricaneAssets at all then it’s better to keep them as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.
Dear members, after receiving several notices from our members about recent blackmail by scam program called Goldenarium, I decided to make an announcement. We are not connected with this scam project and their claims that we said that we are related with them are totally false. We never did so and there is no point of doing this, since they just a cheap scam who are not even monitored by anyone. I think that they just trying to get some attention by blackmail one of the most popular project those days. Please be careful and stay away from such a cheap projects.
I hope the incident will not affect the program’s performance which has been perfect so far. OilOfAsia (reviewed here) was on MNO for eight days and from day one has paid fine on the only investment plan on offer – 3% for 75 business days with the principal returned on expiry. Deposits in OilOfAsia start from a $25 minimum via SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve. The admin recently expanded its advertising on MNO and purchased a Sticky listing for a month and a few banners. I can see already that it’s positively affected OilOfAsia‘s growth and hopefully the advertising on MNO will bring more investors into the program and make a good profit out of it.
We are Delighted and somewhat Astonished to inform that we have 2k+ members registered on board within 48 Hours of Official Launch.
We would like to inform 9% Huge ROI per day is easily manageable as we do not repay capital at the end of the plan. So the real ROI is comparatively manageable.
We have received many support tickets regarding 1 $ Free Credit for surfing (Start Rating).
1) $1 daily surfing bonus will be credited directly into your cash balance at GMT +1 server time if you have completed surfing 50 websites.
3) We are soon opening an exchanger within our site and hence users having balances in different payment processors can get it exchanged to single processor.
“Contribute Your Ideas To Our New Hybrid Revolution!
As you’ve probably seen in the previous newsletters, we’re transforming into a hybrid based program in the near future. We’d like everyone to contribute your ideas and thoughts on the program for everyone by everyone. Please include a complete blueprint and structures, including possible loopholes. Please don’t forget to include how to probably manage the funds for extra external income. Your ideas can be sent to ideas@nubcoyu.com, and the greatest contributors will receive private prizes from me personally.
First, let me emphasize that I’m absolutely aware of the waiting period of 24 to 72 hours required for all the members of UsdTrading to receive their payouts. Although knowing this, I have still decided to move them to Waiting status on MNO today due to several complaints from readers regarding pending withdrawals. I myself don’t think that such a delay can be somehow justified given it’s the middle of the business week now. I contacted the admin of UsdTrading already and if he doesn’t reply by tomorrow and the payouts do not resume I would consider the project a scam and move it to the appropriate section of my monitoring site. That’s all I wanted to say regarding UsdTrading for now, but be cautious and do not invest any money into this project while the situation remains unclear.
40Daily is a brand new short term investment project that has been listed on Premium status on MNO today. The program is paying instantly to SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney and the admin promises to add EgoPay within the next few days too. There is only one investment plan available which pays from 39% to 40% daily (depending on the size of your deposit) for a period of 3 calendar days. Thus, you have the opportunity to get from 17% to 20% pure profit within a 3 day period. It’s quite a lucrative return, so don’t expect your original investment with 40Daily to be handed back to you as its included in the daily payouts. I can confirm that payments are instant to all the payment processors, as I have already withdrawn some ref commissions. The program is hosted by BlockDos which is the leading protection against DDoS attacks, the site is SSL secured by Comodo, and is running off a licensed script provided by GoldCoders.
The most interesting feature about 40Daily is the admin’s claims that the project was established in 2009 and then disappeared. The new domain was registered just a couple of days ago, although the admin still claims that the site has been running for 1000+ days. Pretty stupid, I must say, as the first monitors only listed them today and the threads on investment forums only contain info about 40Daily from 2009 and 2013 and nothing in between. What happened in the middle? Not much I’m guessing so despite of the nice legend and a few years online I would suggest treating 40Daily as a brand new program which for all intents and purposes is essentially what it is. The full review of 40Daily will be posted on Friday, so stay tuned for that!
From MNO Sticky list: ProForexUnion, MGProfit, OilOfAsia.
From MNO Premium list: ProfitableSunrise, EurexTrade, SureInv, StallionGold, TureProfit, DiamondAsset, 4FXInvestment, BensonUnion, Nubcoyu, Stravia, AlevrasInvestments, Xgolding, GISolutions, AIOFinance, VisitAd, ADSolid, 40Daily (the first payment received).

I've found that blowing out coolant under load is a sign of a failing head gasket.
I've had several red bushings do that too. The regular ones. Haven't seen a black one split though.
Best comment "I wish I still had dads old International Harvester pickup."
Sport top 800 and rather rare.
Both sides of mine have been repaired. A friend at a muffler shop did a great repair. But look on the bright side, you are 25% into a reverse shackle conversion.
Just bend the tab back.
Those shims are set to remove castor. Remove the shims and replace worn parts and then take it to a good shop for an alignment.
The xfer case maybe stuck in 2 low. Check the ratio between the in and output shafts.
One possibility is that the dizzy is installed a tooth off and the rotor is not aligned with a terminal. Also check the coil & plug wires for continuity.
towing a boat...good or bad idea???
Re: towing a boat...good or bad idea???
Towed lots of boats with my Scout with no problem. Use a good receiver hitch and that your suspension and tire pressures are up to snuff.
The Bolt pattern is the same as Ford and Dodge. Got a set of F250 rims on my '71 1200.
They look like 4 in to 1's to me.
Usually what is described is a worn out syncro. With it in 3rd and you accelerate then decelerate, how much does the shifter move fore and aft? Much movement over an inch is indicative of wear.

All of us needs money to buy our essentials. But I know at some point we will have those moments when we feel like what we earn is not enough. Sabi nga di ba "Sweldo lang naman ang di nataas" This statement is the exact reason why we need to be more productive in finding out means to fit the salary in your expenses.
2. Be Paid for Your Services. Don't settle for a free service unless you are just starting in the business. You may offer for free but make sure its for portfolio use only. Once you've built your portfolio have your services paid. The main reason is that you need money to fund your talent. You will never earn extra if you don't stop offering for FREE.
4. Sell something. As simple as it is, selling is a one solid way that you will start earning. Create an Instagram account and sell unusual stuff. You can also have a garage sale. Now that it's Christmas for sure gift items will be a must so you as early as now, start selling online or at your neighborhood.
5. Sell your creativity. If you don't have any product to sell then why not sell your creativity? Maybe you have some potential in doing sketches of persons, you can earn cash through it.

Yet sometimes, that worry compels us to try and force the Word down their throat and they won't respond to that well. Instead of trying to force them in the Word, let the Word flow through you naturally. Spend time with God and stand close to Him so that it becomes undeniable to your child. They need to see that from you more than anything.

Synopsis from Goodreads: Santiago, Chile. The city is covered in ash. Three children of ex-militants are facing a past they can neither remember nor forget. Felipe sees dead bodies on every corner of the city, counting them up in an obsessive quest to square these figures with the official death toll. He is searching for the perfect zero, a life with no remainder. Iquela and Paloma, too, are searching for a way to live on. When the body of Paloma’s mother gets lost in transit, the three take a hearse and a bottle of pisco up the cordillera for a road trip with a difference. Intense, intelligent, and extraordinarily sensitive to the shape and weight of words, this remarkable debut presents a new way to count the cost of a pain that stretches across generations.
Book Worm’s Thoughts: I am not sure how to describe the writing in this book at points it is dreamy, sometimes trippy, occasionally brutal, frequently darkly humorous and often melancholy.
The story is original not in terms of the road trip plot but in the idea of seeing the dead, counting the dead and making sure that each grave is accounted for and that the dead are not forgotten. The quest for the perfect zero in terms of human lives was intriguing and as Felipe himself puts it impossible to square.
I loved the relationship between Paloma and Iquela and Iquela and Felipe. However in terms of character development the book only looks at a narrow slice of their lives a few days maybe a week at most so we don’t really get to see them change and develop. That said they are all intriguing in their own ways and they are all learning how to deal with things their parents did in the past. Another thing I loved and would have liked to learn more about was the parents revolutionary past and how they all came to have two identities.
In terms of plot I liked the way the book ended by sorting some things but leaving others still open. I can’t say more for fear of spoilers.
Overall this is the kind of weirdly fascinating book that really appeals to me and I enjoyed it immensely. I love the fact that the publishers are independent and rely on sponsors and that every sponsor is mentioned at the end of every book. I would like to say thank you to the publishers (And Other Stories) and all the sponsors as without you I would have missed this gem of a book.
Tracy’s Thoughts: Another road trip novel- there is a theme developing in the longlist this year. This one is three people (Iquela, Felipe and Paloma)-adult children of Chilean ex-militants- going to Argentina to retrieve the casket of Paloma’s mother.
Felipe sees dead people, and is convinced that he will be dead soon himself. Iquela has an overbearing mother, and wants to finally be an adult, answering to no one. And Paloma wants to get her mother’s body buried.
The writing in this book was beautiful: lyrical and enigmatic. I’m not sure I understood the whole thing, but I really enjoyed the trip. The characters were clearly drawn, and I liked being in Felipe’s and Iquela’s heads for this short novel. The book moved at a steady pace, and the conclusion was satisfying. I wish I knew more about the time after Allende in Chile- I think I would have gotten it better. I plan to watch for more from this author- I’m excited to see what else she has to say.
Emily’s Thoughts: Of the few I’ve read so far, this was the first book on the list that really blew me away and I can see myself cheering for it on the shortlist (it had better make the shortlist!). Did I always understand what was happening? Not by any means, it took me a long time to work out anything about what was going on or how the characters related to each other, but I didn’t care at all. The writing was poetic, trippy, and it punched me in the gut in all the right places. The characters were so real I didn’t mind not knowing who they all were.
Unlike with the Shape of the Ruins, I didn’t feel like it mattered that I wasn’t up to speed on the historical facts of what was going on in Chile. Drinking in the hallucinatory atmosphere was enough, and I feel like I came to understand something about the vibe of life there in that period. Maybe I just like my political novels dreamy and absurdist!
Have you read this one? What did you think?

Back in July we were delighted to bring Rachel Macdonald into the distillery family, and soon set her to work sharing our spirit and story south of the border.
Over the last few months Rachel has been busy doing just that, with a particular focus on London, a big task given our humble Outer Hebridean beginnings.
But we love a challenge and we’re pleased to say our Isle of Harris Gin is already making waves in the capital city as Rachel creates new friendships and connections.
In September, we held the first of our collaborative dining events with the good folk at Flora Indica, as we explored the joys of Indian cuisine, Scottish ingredients and beautiful gin botanicals.
These food adventures continue this month as we pair up with the talented team at Escocesa for a night of Scottish seafood full of Spanish influences. If you’d like to dine with us on November 13th tickets are on sale now.
Later this month, we’ll also be joining the team at Stillwater cocktail bar and restaurant for a special evening of Isle of Harris Gin Martinis, paired with fresh oysters and a bespoke cocktail menu too.
And, as our Seafood Project gets underway we’re proud to be partnering with Outlaw’s at the Capital in Knightsbridge on a unique recipe showcasing their Michelin-star cooking, complete with a specially paired cocktail.
Finally, for the well-groomed gentlemen of this great city, we’ve been working with Murdock Barbershops who have been pouring complimentary Isle of Harris G&Ts for their 'cut-above-the-rest' customers.
Show-goers can enjoy our Isle of Harris Gin at all Delfont Mackintosh theaters and it's also much easier for Londoners to get hold of our spirit with the launch of seven Click and Collect locations across the city thanks to our partners at Soho Wine Supply and Borough Wines.
We’ll be getting more reports from Rachel as the months go by and our English friends can look forward to connecting with us as her journey across the country continues.

Displacement is a trend that has been sweeping the Portland area for generations. During our discussion at Portland State University with Dr. Karen Gibson, Ph.D., (Bleeding Albina: A history of Community Disinvestment) Dr. Darrell Milner, Ph.D., and Mr. Washington, Professor Emeritus, these issues were highlighted through real life situations during the forum co-sponsored by PSU’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion on April 22, 2015 at the Native American Center.
During the evening, Mr. Washington gave testimony on being victimized by unfair housing practices. He related how a landlord offered a reduce rent rate to his best friend, a lawyer who happens to be a white man. He and the lawyer threatened to take the matter to court for discriminatory pricing. When the landlord was threatened with a lawsuit Mr. Washington wound up paying less than what he was told originally.
Dr. Gibson offered insight on how displacement affects the housing market for people of color. Dr. Gibson recommended three solutions: continue building community in our separated sections as best we can. She also encourages Blacks to stay in or move back to North Portland. Becoming involved at a root level with local politics will create a voice toward eliminating local policies that date back to the Jim Crow era.
At the end of the discussion, I posed a question to the panel and asked “What can we do as millennials to eliminate these injustices?” The response was “just do something”. Being aware of how the past effects our future and having the mindset of making change happen is the start to better days for Portland’s Black community. By being involved in our community and local politics, we can bring new life and ideas to the displacement issue.

DALLAS – Transwestern today announces Urban Air Adventure Park is breaking ground on a 31,000-square-foot facility at Summer Creek Station, a 26-acre retail development in south Fort Worth at the southeast corner of Sycamore School Road and Chisholm Trail Parkway/Highway 121. The indoor park will be an entertainment anchor for Summer Creek Station and serve as prototype for the company’s future expansion across the country. Transwestern Retail Managing Director Steve Williamson and Senior Vice Presidents Larry Jordan and Mason Bishop represented the developer, Wilson & Stonaker LLC, in the transaction.
Urban Air has been recognized nationally with several awards, including Voted No. 1 for Kids Birthday Parties from About.com and Best Gym in America by Shape Magazine. When Urban Air’s South Fort Worth venue opens in fourth quarter 2018, it will bring approximately 50 new jobs to the area. Catherine Gibbons and Brad Struck of esrp represented Urban Air in the transaction.
An existing Walmart Neighborhood Market anchors Summer Creek Station, with opportunities on several outparcel pad sites for additional anchor tenants, retail, and restaurants, such as quick-serve, Italian, Asian Fusion, Mexican, sports bar, burger and barbecue venues. The site is shovel-ready, with all utilities, cross-access drives, and detention recently completed by the developer, which will shorten the time necessary for users to open for business.

In two counties on the Northern Neck, green infrastructure maps were included in the draft Comprehensive Plans. These draft comprehensive plans have not been finalized, and the NNPDC plans to support the green infrastructure elements when these plans are opened to the public for comments. There has been much animated discussion by the public on private property rights and citizen backlash from proposing any new areas for open space/habitat protection/water quality protection. NNPDC will be present at County public meetings to support the inclusion of the green infrastructure components in Richmond and Westmoreland Counties' Comprehensive plan. In Northumberland and Lancaster Counties, the comprehensive plan is not under review, and the green infrastructure effort has been focused on creating a map of green infrastructure elements within the county. NNPDC staff will work with the four Counties of the Northern Neck to produce a report on strategies to help them to begin implementing their Green Infrastructure Plans. Various strategies will be explored, from overlay districts, and cluster housing to conservation easements and agricultural and forestal districts. The report will explore the benefits, level of effort required and any disadvantages of the approach. The Green Infrastructure Implementation Plan will examine all known alternatives under current Virginia law that could be used for preserving lands in a natural state. In addition, NNPDC staff will work with the counties to examine climate change in the Northern Neck and the effects it could have on blue and green infrastructure assets. The report will also address potential impacts to development and gray infrastructure and the potential secondary impacts to coastal resources as development patterns change. A report will be generated for each county with maps showing vulnerable assets (both natural and manmade) that could be subject to inundation in the future. While strategies to mitigate against rising waters will be discussed, the more important issue of not locating any more infrastructure in threatened areas will be emphasized.
The third year of the VACZM focal area, Blue-Green Infrastructure Planning, NNPDC staff researched the tools available to Virginia localities under current law to implement natural area protection within their jurisdictions. Since Virginia is a Dillon Rule state, only powers expressly given to localities by the Virginia General Assembly can be utilized. NNPDC staff compiled all known ways to protect natural areas in a report entitled ' 'NNPDC Green Infrastructure Implementation Alternatives Report, Tools Available to Virginia Localities to Protect Green Infrastructure'. The tools available include everything from land use value taxation to transfer of development rights, and the report has a table that gives a priority rank, ease of implementation, and advantages and disadvantages for each protection tool. A presentation on the report was given to each of the four Northern Neck Counties’ Planning Commission's in late 2011 and early 2012, with several commission members noting that some of the tools available were not known to them.
NNPDC staff conducted a Climate Change Vulnerable Infrastructure Assessment for each of the four counties, examining areas in the region that have potential to be impacted by sea level rise. Sea level rise in the Northern Neck region has been documented through NOAA tide stations at Gloucester Point, Lewisetta and Colonial Beach. Lewisetta, in fact, has the second highest sea level rise of any tide station in Virginia, at 4.97 mm per year, which equates to 1.63 feet in one hundred years. While the elevation data available to estimate this rise has a vertical error of more than the 100 year rate of sea level rise, NNPDC staff believe that the areas identified in the study are truly vulnerable (as many of the areas have had inundation in recent tropical storms). NNPDC staff cautions that the study is not be used at a site specific level, but instead, at a county scale to identify regions in the county where sea level rise could impact upland resources. NNPDC staff examined sea level rise impacts on green infrastructure, using the VACZM's Virginia Ecological Valuation Assessment (VEVA) as well as select grey infrastructure (water access points, sewage treatment plants and private structures). NNPDC staff found that Richmond County has the highest amount of green infrastructure (as shown in the VEVA layer) that is vulnerable and that Westmoreland County has the least amount of green infrastructure vulnerable. Another important finding of the study is that of the five categories of natural areas (in increasing ecological value: general, moderate, high, very high and outstanding), that the very high valued ecological areas are impacted the most by sea level rise in the four counties. This is disconcerting, however, not unexpected. The land water interface is often the most biologically diverse habitat in nature. NNPDC staff also examined impacts on select grey infrastructure and found that all tidal water access points could be impacted in some way, although most may still be functional, though at a diminished capacity. The study found that the Northern Neck sewage treatment plants all seem to be at a high enough elevation that they will not be impacted within the next one hundred years of sea level rise predicted. NNPDC staff also presented the results of the two sea level rise studies to each of the four Northern Neck county Planning Commissions. The most common question asked was what can be done about sea level rise? NNPDC staff noted that while sea level rise adaptation can be expensive, planning beforehand can save money in the long run, by locating structures outside of inundation zones on higher elevations. NNPDC staff also noted that sea level rise may inundate a majority of Virginia's wetlands, and that by promoting living shorelines in their county, marshes can have a chance to migrate upland as sea level rises in areas protected by living shorelines.

Here are lists of older articles about climate change. Looking at you will notice that we have long worried about climate trends, and even experts have often (not always) written with what we can now see was excessive certainty.
I believe this climate trends will be one of the major factors affecting geopolitics in the 21st century. The primary message I hope people take from this list of articles — and the posts based upon them — is that there is debate among scientists about these things — and that the science is rapidly progressing to provide answers.
This page lists the articles mentioned in posts on this site, and are only a tiny fraction of the climate change literature.
This Website created by Spencer Weart supplements his much shorter book, which tells the history of climate change research as a single story. On this Website you will find a more complete history in dozens of essays on separate topics, updated annually.
A Bibliography by year of climate science research (also from AIP) — the most complete I have seen.
“The Origins of a ‘diagnostics climate center“, Robert W. Reeves and Daphne Gemmill (NOAA), 20 October 2004 — Looks like slides for the above presentation.
Note: if no link is given, this is an unverified reference from a secondary source.
“The Present Interglacial, How and When Will it End?”, Science, October 1972 — Summary of conference held in January 1972 at Brown U.
“Brace Yourself for Another Ice Age”, Science Digest, February 1973– See photo copy of the article here (7 meg).
“Climate Changes Endanger World’s Food Output”, New York Times, 8 August1974 – Picture of article.
“A Reassessment of Atmospheric Pollution as a Cause of Long-Term Changes of Global Temperature“, J. Murray, Mitchell Jr., in Global Effects of Environmental Pollution, edited by S. Fred Singer. Dordrecht: Reidel. (1975).
“Understanding Climate Change: A Program for Action”, National Academy of Science, 1975 — Not online. Used copies can be purchased. An oft-misrepresented balanced review of cooling and warming forces.
“Climate Changes Called Ominous”, New York Times, 19 January 1975 — Picture of article.
The Cooling, Lowell Ponte (Prentice Hall, 1976) — Not impressive; widely misrepresented by climate sketpics.
Interview with Professor Reid Bryson in Mother Earth News, March/April 1976 — Wikipedia entry for Bryson.
Althought your above list may not intend to be complete, there is an article not listed: 1923, Chicago Tribune, “Scientist Says Arctic Ice Will Wipe Out Canada.” I’m not sure of the exact date, but the article is referenced in the book, “Cool It . . .” by Bjorn Lomborg (pp 126).
FM reply: There are many lists of such headlines, such as this one. They don’t cite sources, so I don’t list them.
“Scientist says Arctic ice will wipe out Canada.”, Chicago Tribune, 9 August 1923 — Statements by Professor Gregory of Yale University, American representative to the Pan-Pacific Science Congress.
Background information: Second Pan-Pacific Science Congress was held 13 — 22 August 1923 in Melbourne, Australia and 23 August — 3 September 1923 in Sydney. See their website here.
FM reply: The 1976 CIA report might be “Potential Implications of Trends in Population Growth, Food Production, and Climate.” The data I have is August 1974, but that might be incorrect (I don’t have a copy; there’s nothing on Google). It fits the description.

We decided to take a late Spring Break this year. We usually go up to CO the end of May but thought this year it might be fun to go earlier. Other than Cole getting sick the night before we left and being that way the whole week we had a good, relaxing trip! He was a trooper, even though he was not feeling good and had fevers almost every day, with a little ibuprofen he was able to perk up a little each day and have some fun.
We stopped at what we call the elephant feet outside of Tuba City for lunch and to let the boys stretch and run off some energy. Cole was pretty high up... the mom in me was kinda freaked out but daddy kept reminding me that he needed to be a boy and learn. Needless to say I tried to look the other way.
If you look close enough you will see us in the shadows.
When we arrived we found this little patch of snow left over on the side of the house. The boys had fun playing in it!!

This story has been cross-posted in my website, http://gawaahi.com. If you haven’t seen it yet, please go over and have a look.
Gawaahi.com was conceived at a wedding. I know how that sounds, but it’s true. Sana Saleem had just returned from Islamabad where she had trained to record digital stories. I had returned from Bonn, Germany where I had participated in an inspiring conference hosted by Deutsche Welle — the annual Global Media Forum. At the event I had met the creators of crowd-sourced websites, and was enchanted by the idea. Sana and I got to talking, and thought we have to do something like that here in Pakistan. We wanted to do stories, and create a site that sought submissions of digital stories, but we didn’t want it to be news-based. A bit of her training, a pinch of my experience and that’s Gawaahi.com.
Then came the next step: an idea is great, but it needs support. That came to us first through Jehan Ara, President of P@sha and fairy godmother of Pakistan’s IT industry. The site was started with a Small Grant from the MDG3 Fund as part of an Asia-wide program initiated by APC WSNP, Take Back The Tech!, a collaborative campaign to reclaim information and communication technologies to end violence against women, and Bytes for all, ‘a networked space for citizens in South Asia.’ Our second nudge came from my good friend, Guido Baumhauer, Director of Strategy, Marketing and Distribution at Deutsche Welle and new friend, Nadeem Wahid Siddiqui, DW’s Pakistan representative, also Tobias Grote-Beverborg and a host of others at the German media house. Valerie Khan of theAcid Survivors Foundation Pakistan and Samar Minallah, the documentary filmmaker, entrusted us with their support by sharing their film, Against All Odds.
With all that faith in us, we set to work. When it came to developing the content you see now, and we’ll share with you over the next few weeks, there is no way any of it could have happened without Nofil Naqvi, our Technical Consultant, my not-so-little-anymore brother and ace cameraman/editor. In what’s turning out to be a bit of an Oscar rant, I would like to mention Rabia Garib, Editor-in-Chief of CIO Pakistan, whose brain I picked endlessly with the most naive questions, and she responded patiently every time.
Finally, Mehreen Kasana, Zaina Anwar, Hira Saleem Malik and participants of the Feminist Tech Exchange in Pakistan shared their work with us based on sheer trust.
Phew! To end, if you read our ‘About’ page, you’ll see more about who we are and what we aim to do. Do send your comments, and please send us your stories!

Impakt developed all campaign creative and configured detailed target marketing in order to reach passionate race fans that have had a history of attending the series events. 30-60 days prior to each race, a targeted outreach campaign was launched toward dirt bike owners and race fans. Additionally, personal data was leveraged to deliver advertisements to people who attended the event in the past three years.
Geo-location targeting, as well as in-depth multi-variant testing, allowed each advertisement to have 60-90 variations running at all times. This allowed Impakt to track and measure which ad performed at the highest level and generated the greatest results for the campaign.
Once the interested attendees visited the ticketing website, Impakt was able to track and measure purchasers and visitors who abandoned the shopping process without making a purchase. Anyone who left the site was entered into the re-marketing phase of the 2016 campaign, and was delivered relevant ads based on which ticket they showed interest in.
The results were outstanding. After the first race, MX Sports terminated multiple last generation marketing campaigns and re-allocated the funds toward targeted social media marketing with Impakt. Races saw an increase in attendance for the first time in several years. Online ticket sales increased by as much as 71 percent, and the client easily obtained proof of effectiveness due to consistent, detailed reporting provided by Impakt.

UC Health, the University of Cincinnati’s health system, includes three hospitals, a 700-plus member subspecialty and primary care physician network, an long-term rehabilitation center and outpatient mental health facility. The University of Cincinnati Medical Center (formerly University Hospital)—the system’s flagship facility—is ranked one of the best hospitals in the region by U.S. News & World Report.
Cancer care is delivered primarily at the UC Health Barrett Center in Clifton, with satellite locations on the UC Health West Chester medical campus. The facility offers advanced cancer care through screening, diagnostics, and treatment services, and is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The physician specialists (medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists as well as diagnostic radiologists) who practice at the Barrett Center are the same faculty who educate new physicians at the UC College of Medicine. The breast imaging program was first American College of Radiology-accredited breast imaging Center of Excellence in Cincinnati. It remains the only facility in Cincinnati accredited for breast MRI.
As a teaching institution, UC Health offers patients access to the latest technologies and information. Patients also benefit from multidisciplinary clinical care teams who coordinate care and help patients navigate the complicated health system. In addition, UC Health and UC work together to be a cancer education resource for patients, physicians, health professionals, and the Tri-State community.

The following is the 18th installment of the Pillars of the FWAA series. Jim Brock was the 1989 winner of the Bert McGrane Award. Thanks to FWAA member Gene Duffey for writing and researching this sketch.
Several reporters were attempting to gain access to the Olympic Village at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. Because of the massacre at the 1972 Games in Munich, security was extremely tight.
One of the reporters finally got hold of Jim Brock, one of the press stewards for the American delegation, who could approve entrance to the Village.
“I’m burning my feet in that direction right now, Hoss,” replied Brock. The line became the most repeated of any among the media covering the Games and Brock became as popular as U.S. boxer Sugar Ray Leonard and high jumper Dwight Stones for his unlimited cooperation.
You couldn’t help but have a good team if you were around Jim Brock. If he had been an actor he would have been perfect for movies like “The Sting” or “Eight Men Out,” wearing a black bowler hat and handling an unlit cigar.
The name “Hoss” became Brock’s trademark. He called nearly everyone “Hoss.” He never had to worry about forgetting anyone’s name. And if the guy’s wife was along, she was usually “Darlin’ ” to Brock. Even though he knew thousands of “Hosses,” the way Brock said it made every one of them feel special.
It was at one of those parties during a Big Eight Conference meeting in Colorado Springs, where Brock was a big hit at the Golden Bee across from the Broadmoor Hotel.
In his younger days. Brock played in the outfield at Poly High in Fort Worth. He tried out for the baseball team as a freshman at TCU, but quit before the first game to pursue marriage.
He worked as a clerk at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and in the sports information office at TCU during his student days. He even tried a little amateur boxing, unsuccessfully, along the way. He was named sports publicity director for the Horned Frogs soon after graduation in 1956.
Brock stayed at TCU until 1969, then switched over to SMU in Dallas with expanded duties as an assistant athletic director. “He and Lester (Jordan) handled many of the administrative chores which I couldn’t give my full attention because of my duties as head football coach,” said SMU coach Hayden Fry.
He left SMU in 1979 to become executive director of the Cotton Bowl, his personality becoming one of the bowl game’s most valuable assets.
Brock knew how to market the Cotton Bowl to the best college football teams in the country. Not only did he attract big name visiting teams to oppose the Southwest Conference champion annually, he brought in Heisman Trophy winners such as Boston College’s Doug Flutie, Auburn’s Bo Jackson and Notre Dame’s Tim Brown.
The Cotton Bowl’s hospitality for the teams and the media was as good, if not better, than any bowl game in the country. Brock gained respect nationwide. “He really was one of the most memorable personalities I’ve ever been around,” said John Junker, former executive director of the Fiesta Bowl.
Brock remained executive director of the Cotton Bowl through 1992, then served as chairman of the team selection committee in 1993 before retiring. He also participated in the organization of the Davey O’Brien Award that started in 1977 and the Doak Walker Award that began in 1990.
Frank Windegger, who would eventually become the athletic director at TCU, met Brock when they were freshman at the Fort Worth campus. “He was one of a kind,” said Windegger of the 1989 Bert McGrane Award winner.

Challenging the traditional labels that categorize art, Wexler Gallery exhibits work that coexists in the expressive realms of design, fine art and contemporary glass and ceramics. Questioning and testing the boundaries of these fields, Wexler Gallery aims to present functional and non-functional work that consistently celebrates innovation as much as aesthetic beauty.
Wexler Gallery opened in 2000 in the historic district of Old City, Philadelphia. Since then, the gallery has proudly showcased extraordinary work by both master artists and the emerging talent of today.
Wexler Gallery will be showing some exceptional original paintings by Andy Warhol, Sam Francis and Richard Hambleton, a beautiful Louise Nevelson wall sculpture and new work by three of our stand-out gallery artists Roberto Lugo, Gregory Nangle and Eric Slayton.
Considering art as an investment can be a smart and extremely profitable, but I always shy away from making that the most important part of the puzzle when fitting a collector with a piece of work. They have to love it and have a visceral connection to it first and foremost. It is what the artist intended, and it is what completes the lifecycle of a piece of art. There is something so rewarding about making that match and finding a forever home for a piece of art with collectors who will cherish it as if it were created only for them. If it also happens to be a great investment down the road, that is just the icing on the cake.
I love meeting all of the different people that attend art fairs. Talking shop with artists, collectors, art scholars is always a fun way to spend the afternoon, but I find that those who come with no art-related background or knowledge at all often have the most interesting perceptions and perspectives when looking at, discussing and reacting to the art around them. It is a refreshing way to continuously open my own eyes to the ever-changing art world and those in and around it.
Wexler Gallery is exceptionally proud of the new work that we will be showing by stand-out gallery artists Roberto Lugo, Gregory Nangle and Eric Slayton. These three young men are each making very different work but are all equally pushing art boundaries and making their mark on art – what it means, how it is used and why we need it as a society.

Stephanie began teaching in college as a physics tutor, math tutor, lab TA, and Academic Excellence Facilitator. By the end of college she had tutored over 15 separate courses, and fellow students were knocking on her door at all hours of the day for help. It was at this time that she decided to pursue a teaching career. Since then, Stephanie has taught a variety of students ranging in age from elementary school to college.
Stephanie is a graduate of Harvey Mudd College with a B.S. in physics and mathematics. She received her Ph.D. in physics and astrophysics from the University of California at San Diego in June of 2013.

If you want to enjoy the magic of a theatrical production you can simply go buy a ticket to a show; but if you want to know what it takes to make a show a success you need to see what’s behind the curtain. Let’s shine a spotlight on certain parts of the theatre and entertainment world that often get taken for granted. This column will take a closer look at what goes on back stage, what’s coming up in the theatre and arts world of Fort McMurray and give you some drama related food for thought.
What happens on stage is just the beginning of all it takes to put on a production like Keyano Theatre Company’s Cabaret. There’s a huge team of production people from professional directors to volunteer ‘doors’ (yes, there were two volunteer stage crew persons who were dedicated to moving the doors on stage). A lot goes on behind the scene that the audience never gets to see. The enthusiasm that the community members bring to a show like Cabaret is astonishing and often overlooked. Luckily, two local filmmakers are set to expose the secrets through an independent feature documentary called A Little Cabaret. They plan to premier the film at the 2015 Fort McMurray International Film Festival with the hopes of showing the world what’s happening in Northern Alberta and what our community is capable of.
The level of talent Fort McMurray has to offer is astounding and the commitment each volunteer gives to a production is enormous, so let’s not forget about the backstage stars of the show!
Have you ever seen a singing mermaid or evil octopus in Fort McMurray? Well, this August you will have your chance when Keyano Theatre Company’s 2015 Drama Force program presents Disney The Little Mermaid Jr.
The show, which won Best Original Song for Under the Sea at the 62nd Academy Awards, will give the students of this year’s Drama Force program plenty of musical and acting fun to look forward to.
The program participants will spend an intensive three weeks, in July/August, learning about every aspect of the musical production process, from auditioning and dancing to lighting and design. After the success of last year’s production of Aladdin Jr. the presentation of another Disney classic is sure to be a hit!
For more information on the 2015 Drama Force program you can visit keyano.ca/theatre.
The infamous Broadway show, A Few Good Men, began as notes on a napkin and ended up being a production that has pulled in over two hundred million dollars to date. Writer Aaron Sorkin got the idea for the script from his sister, a military attorney, when she was on her way to Guantanamo Bay to defend a group of marines accused of murder. With no legal background, Sorkin went on to write his sister’s story. The intense courtroom drama has been performed on stage over 500 times; soon to be 501 when it is presented this October by the Keyano Theatre & Arts Centre.

Businesses aren’t adapting quickly enough to the rapidly shifting nature of the workforce and are sitting on a “ticking time bomb” that could cost the economy billions, according to a global expert in workforce trends.
As millennials increasingly seek the flexibility of self-employment, the freelance economy is booming and there are now an estimated 4.78 million freelancers in the UK, up 43% from 2008. According to a McKinsey study, as much as 30% of the working population could already be self-employed.
The thriving freelance economy offers big opportunities to businesses which adapt quickly to this shift. This is because the flexibility provided by freelancers adds around £30bn value to the UK economy. According to forecasts from PeoplePerHour, the UK’s leading digital marketplace for freelancers, half the UK’s workforce will be self-employed by 20205, and at this point, freelancers would likely offer added value of as much as £51bn a year to the economy as a whole. It is thought that as many as eight in ten UK workers could be freelance by 2050.
On an individual level, businesses could save £6,297.17 per employee, per year by hiring freelance professionals, according to a 2015 PeoplePerHour report. The report found that the average waste or spare capacity per day for SMEs was 1.9 hours per person. By hiring freelance professionals as required, this wasted time has an earnings/savings potential of £6,297.17 per annum.
However, PeoplePerHour’s Founder and CEO Xenios Thrasyvoulou believes most businesses haven’t yet embraced the technological advancements that could help them capitalise on the growing demand for freelance work, and unlock the added value of using freelancers.
For businesses like PeoplePerHour, the impending shift is one that has been swelling for over a decade. Since foundation in 2007, PeoplePerHour.com has seen 1.3m projects completed across 188 countries, and £84 million earned by freelancers. The London-based firm posted a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years of over 75% and is aiming to treble its business and reach annualised billings in excess of £100m in the next three to four years. With workforce shifts happening globally, PeoplePerHour expects to be more than 50% international by 2019.

Is your paper supplier environmentally savvy? This goes beyond the issue of recycled paper. Other issues to consider include how far down the “chain” your supplier is; how efficient and environmentally safe the coating practice is for the paper you use; and whether or not the mill your paper comes from is buying pulp from “sustainable” forests.
About 90 percent of paper is made of wood, and paper-making accounts for about 43 percent of harvested wood.
Paper making uses vast amounts of water. A report about kraft paper mills in British Columbia showed that 17 mills discharge about 141 billion gallons of liquid effluent (water used to make the paper) into rivers each year.
Paper making creates a lot of pollution. In addition to the sulphur mentioned above, much paper is bleached with chlorine to make it white. One byproduct of bleaching is the chemical dioxin, which is very toxic. Paper companies have greatly improved their processes to reduce pollution over the past two decades, but paper making is still one of the largest polluters in North America.

It’s impossible to dress code a guy for wearing a tank top, sleeveless sports jerseys, or shorts. However, I think it is unfair that girls are more likely to get dress coded than guys. In USA TODAY, Lisa Frack, a president of the Oregon chapter of the National Organization said, ”A lot of people have a problem with how girls dress these days — they think it’s too sexualized.” Not everything girls wear connects to that. Boys can wear the shortest shorts and still not get dress coded, if it is sexualized or not.
Boys can show their shoulders, too, and not be known as a distraction, while for girls they are considered a distraction. Boys are not the only people who can get distracted from showing off “too much” skin, girls can get distracted, too. If students are in class, no one should focus on what a student is wearing. Instead students should focus on what they are learning and teachers should focus on what they are teaching. It would be that person’s fault if they get distracted.
Joshua Huntley and Isaac Veale both wore short shorts, and Joshua Huntley said, ”I think it is the same; I’ve seen girls wore short shorts.” Kaitlyn Nunley wore a dress that wasn’t even that short and she still got dress coded, but we all seen something different and have different opinions on it. The dress code may be sexist and more strict against girls than guys, but I really do think that it is unbalanced. Although there is one thing that we can all agree on, that no one should wear see-through clothing to school.

Lightning. It is a huge topic. I wanted to touch on it after my last post Lip Balm, Hand Lotion, and Rubber Gloves because, as a fiction writer there is so much to explore here. There are so many kinds of lightning that people can’t even agree on which kinds are real.
Is lighting just a giant static spark caused by friction and an imbalance of charged ions? The jury is still out. A big part of that is due to the numerous kinds of lightning. Heat lightning, dry lightning, cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, and many more.
Ball Lightning has long been thought a myth, but science is beginning to accept it as a possibility. It could possibly be the explanation for many curiosities such as foo fighters, earth lights (ghost lights, will-o-wisp, etc.), and, of course, many UFO’s. Perhaps even spontaneous human combustion -but there is evidence of other causes there.
Upper-atmospheric lightning is some of the most fascinating of all. With descriptive terms like blue jets, sprites, and elves, how could they not be? These phenomena have only really come into view in the last twenty years and are poorly understood. Perchance in history humans have briefly glimpsed them and mistook them for other things?
But the true power of lightning is in its, er, power. Man has been ‘playing’ with lightning since before Benjamin Franklin tied a key to his kite (he didn’t really), and we are getting better at it. Tests using rockets to trigger lightning have been in use for a while, and now lasers are getting in on the act. Experiments in capturing the energy in lightning are underway.
The surface temperature of the sun? Around 5,800° Kelvin. The air around lightning? About 30,000°Kelvin.
Lightning has been shown to produce both x-rays and gamma rays. The gamma rays, by the way, indicate that it may be actually producing antimatter.
If that isn’t the start of a good sci-fi, I don’t know what is.

Has your child been diagnosed with tongue tie? This is a condition that is present at birth, and it restricts the range of motion of the tongue. A thick, tight, or short band of tissue tethers the bottom of the tip of the tongue to the floor of your child's mouth, and when the condition is present, your child may have difficulty speaking, eating, swallowing, or sticking out his tongue. During infancy, he may also have trouble breastfeeding.
Tongue tie is relatively easy to diagnose, as your child's doctor should be able to notice the problem easily with a physical exam. Pediatricians also tend to use screening tools to score aspects of the tongue's ability to move and physical appearance, and these results can help to determine the right course of action when it comes to treating the problem.
Doctors, lactation consultants, and dentists tend to vary when it comes to treatment approaches for tongue tie. Some medical professionals recommend that the issue is corrected immediately, even prior to discharging a newborn from the hospital.
• Frenotomy. This simple surgical procedure involves the use of sterile scissors in order to slice the frenulum free. It is a quick process that is relatively painless since there are few blood vessels or nerve endings in the frenulum.
• Frenuloplasty. This procedure is more extensive, and it is recommended if additional repairs are needed or if the tissue is too thick for the less invasive option.
If your child has a tongue tie that has not yet been treated and you are wondering how he might be affected by it, please contact our office.

Hannah, thank-you for touching my life with your beautiful heart here. I am thank-ful with you for the exit of those seizures! That your heart still soars, Hosanna, tells me not only of your ongoing surrender into your Savior’s hands; but also of His faithfulness. Would I ever have chosen the things which have refined me? Surely not. But I think you may glimpse the truth that in this Refiner’s fire, you stand being more and more purified. As such you are an inspiration to me. And my facing this surgery. I have a date for it. August 31 when my husband can retire.

Do you have deer that eat them. I do! I love critters too, though. We live in Jacksonville. Good-night or good day!

text: In February of 1977, I was home on vacation from the 6th grade when my mom returned from grocery shopping. While helping her put away the groceries, I took out a clock radio from one of the bags. "Who is this for?" I asked. "You," she responded. From that day on, turning on the radio was the first thing I did when I entered my room. If I hear a song that was once played on the radio, I still remember what was going on in my life when that particular song was popular. This song reminds me of that day in 1977. Right on.
