REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER FOR MORE INFORMATION ON UPCOMING CLEANSES.
Your health sometimes seems like a jigsaw puzzle with a million different little pieces.
Welcome to The Whole Tulip. We are integrative nutrition health coaches who believe that food is a healing modality and our first and best medicine. We believe every person on this planet is unique and the foods and lifestyle choices that make one person feel their best may have the opposite effect on someone else. By understanding each of our client’s “bioindividuality” we understand the foods that fuel our bodies and make us feel good vs. the ones that drain our energy and tax our bodies.
Whether it’s simply wanting to have more energy, maybe shed a few pounds, sleep a little better, have clearer, brighter skin and get rid of some bothersome digestive symptoms… or its the serious business of a chronic health condition you are trying to heal like irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, chronic allergies, sinus infections, headaches, or arthritis; the Whole Tulip is here to help you put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Welcome to our 14 Day Clean Eating Program. We have designed this program for you. To change the way you look at food and yourself. We want you to rip those old labels off and start new with our support.
The Whole Tulip cleanses have changed the way our family eats and feels. Before The Whole Tulip, I had tried many other detoxes and cleanses, but struggled to understand how starving for a week or more was going to make a positive change. There was not even a consideration from my husband that he might participate in one of those past cleanses.
When I tried my first Whole Tulip cleanse, I was relieved to see that the menu included, fresh, seasonal, real food. The recipes were so good that I was able to feed the whole family without them realizing that they were “participating”. Many of these recipes are now in my full time rotation. Give me a Sugar-Free Power Ball anytime and I am happy! My husband is now a willing participant and even looks forward to starting each season with a Whole Tulip reset. Each time, we end up with at least one long-lasting change that makes a huge difference on how we eat and feel. After the first cleanse, we never went back to sodas or coffee creamer and didn’t miss either.
I always finish a few pounds lighter, but more importantly, I feel great. No more afternoon slumps, no bloat and high energy levels. My husband’s experience has been the most fun to watch. Each time, he suffers through the first few days as his system resets, forgetting how he is going to feel once it does. He accuses us of torturing him with leafy greens, seeds and beets. Then magically and like clockwork, he wakes up on day 4 proclaiming that he feels fantastic. When we get to the end of a cleanse, he’s always ready to keep going. As a guy who loves nothing more than southern fried chicken, he the best testament I know to power of The Whole Tulip.
Here are some results you can expect with one simple and easy to do program.
➟Sleep like a baby, without waking up at 3 am.
➟Realize that grocery shopping and healthy food can actually be fun!!!
Have you committed to 2016 as your year to become empowered to make changes for you?
Are you tired of doing program after program and not getting lasting results?
Are you ready to take 2 weeks and commitment to yourself and life long changes?
Do you want to be supported by health coaches that have changed their story?
Get rid of the diet puzzle piece that is not sustainable nor given you the results you were hoping for. Get rid of the cravings puzzle piece that is sabotaging your weight-loss efforts. Add energy, delicious whole food and restorative sleep pieces. Suddenly, there it is. The big picture. Get life you want in the body you can enjoy it in.
The Whole Tulips’ 2 week cleanse provided the reset that I needed in my diet and way of thinking about the food I eat. Not only did they provide recipes and a shopping list, but they taught me why certain foods are best for my nourishment and why I should avoid others. I have learned so much about myself in this process and I have never had so much energy. How do I know this will have a lasting effect? I am past two weeks, and getting requests from family to make these recipes! I highly recommend this cleanse and their services to everyone!

(1971–96). American rapper Tupac Shakur was one of the leading names in 1990s gangsta rap, a form of hip-hop music that depicts the often violent lifestyle of impoverished American inner cities. Although his career was relatively short, he left an enduring legacy within the hip-hop community. Shakur also went by the names 2Pac and Makaveli.
Shakur was born Lesane Parish Crooks on June 16, 1971, in Brooklyn, New York. His mother was Alice Faye Williams, a member of the revolutionary Black Panther Party. She renamed him Tupac Amaru Shakur—after Peruvian revolutionary Túpac Amaru II—when he was a year old. Shakur spent much of his childhood moving around with his family, and in 1986 they settled in Baltimore, Maryland. Shakur attended the elite Baltimore School of the Arts, where he did well both creatively and academically; however, his family relocated to Marin City, California, before he could graduate. There Shakur began selling drugs and became involved in the gang culture that would one day provide material for his rap lyrics.
In 1990 Shakur joined Digital Underground, an Oakland, California-based rap group. After contributing to two of the group’s albums in 1991, This Is an EP Release and Sons of the P, later that year he produced his solo debut recording, 2Pacalypse Now. The tone and content of 2Pacalypse Now echoed the works of Public Enemy and West Coast gangsta rappers N.W.A. The album was limited in its radio appeal, but it sold well, especially after Vice President Dan Quayle criticized the song “Soulja’s Story” during the 1992 presidential campaign. That same year, Shakur was cast in the motion picture Juice, an urban crime drama. In 1993 he appeared in the film Poetic Justice, opposite Janet Jackson, and released his second album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. The album retained the activist lyricism of his debut, but hit singles such as “Holler If Ya Hear Me” and “Keep Ya Head Up” made it much more radio-friendly.
With increased fame and success came greater scrutiny of Shakur’s gangsta lifestyle. A string of arrests culminated with a conviction for sexual assault in 1994; he was incarcerated when his third album, Me Against the World, was released in 1995. Shakur was paroled after serving eight months in prison, and he signed with Death Row Records for his next release. That album, All Eyez on Me (1996), was a two-disc tribute to the “thug life” that Shakur embodied. It debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and sold more than five million copies within its first year of release. Quick to capitalize on his success, Shakur returned to Hollywood, where he starred in Bullet (1996) and Gridlock’d (1997).
On the evening of September 7, 1996, Shakur was leaving a casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was shot by an unknown assailant; he died six days later. The incident was believed by many to be the result of an ongoing rivalry between the East Coast and West Coast rap communities.

The vacuum is popularly considered to be a void, an emptiness, or just ‘nothingness.’ This is the definition of a bare vacuum . Today, science has a different description of what is now called the physical vacuum . In order to explain this, take a perfectly sealable flask and remove all solids, liquids and gases, and then cool it to zero degrees Kelvin so that there is no temperature radiation in the flask. It might be expected that this vacuum is now totally empty. However, it is found that there is still an intrinsic energy in this vacuum called the Zero Point Energy (ZPE). The existence of the ZPE was first indicated by Planck’s so-called ‘second theory’ in 1911 . In that paper, his equations revealed that what is now Planck’s constant, h, was a measure of the strength of the ZPE. The ZPE can be considered as being an all-pervasive sea of electromagnetic waves of all wavelengths up to the Planck length cut-off . The actual existence of the ZPE is demonstrated by the Casimir effect, Van der Waal’s forces, the necessity for pressure to solidify liquid helium, a random noise in microwave receivers and electronic systems that limits amplification, and other physical effects .
In order to assess the behaviour of the ZPE over time, we must first come to some conclusions about the processes involved in its origin. Quantum electrodynamics (QED) and General Relativity (GR) consider the ZPE to be a manifestation of, and have its origin in, the cosmological constant, Λ. However this approach runs into some problems which need to be examined before we can proceed.
Since the properties of the physical vacuum can be described by the action of Λ in GR, it might be thought that the ZPE is due to the direct action of this quantity. But Kochanek noted that the observational “constraints are consistent with an open, low density model [of the universe] and no cosmological constant” . Barrow and Magueijo also point out “If Λ > 0, then cosmology faces a very serious fine-tuning problem…There is no theoretical motivation for a value of Λ of currently observable magnitude…” . In addition, the problem of trying to incorporate Λ into ZPE theory has proved very difficult for QED. Thus, Zeldovich pointed out that the proposed values for Λ from vacuum and particle theory can disagree with observation by a factor of up to 1046 as observation suggests Λ ≈10–54 cm–2or lower . Abbott reached the same conclusion from different reasoning . Similarly, Greene has noted that “…the cosmological constant can be interpreted as a kind of overall energy stored in the vacuum of space, and hence its value should be theoretically calculable and experimentally measurable. But, to date, such calculations and measurements lead to a colossal mismatch… Observations show that the cosmological constant is either zero (as Einstein ultimately suggested) or quite small; calculations [based on QED theory]… tend to generate a nonzero cosmological constant whose value is some 120 orders of magnitude larger than experiment allows!” . These difficulties seem to indicate that the cause of the problem may be in the QED and GR approach. If this is so, an alternative approach may be worthy of examination.
An alternative physical formalism does exist, namely stochastic electrodynamics (SED). It began with Planck in 1911 , Einstein and Stern in 1913 , and Nernst in 1916 . De Broglie reinvigorated it in 1962 , followed by a landmark paper in 1966 by Nelson . SED formalism has claimed some remarkable successes, beyond Planck’s initial explanation of the black-body spectrum. They include a Newtonian derivation of the Schroedinger equation using the ZPE and simple mathematics . Again, SED plus classical physics has shown that the Heisenberg uncertainty relationship is due to the fluctuations caused by the Zero Point Fields (ZPF) on the positions of charged point particles . A third example took these same ZPE induced particle oscillations and demonstrated that, when the particle was in motion, a beat frequency equal to the Compton frequency was superimposed on the oscillations, thereby accounting for the wavelike character of atomic particles [15, 16].
A clarified understanding of mass and gravity has also developed using SED concepts, some of which are explored later. The one question that this development inevitably raises is the status of General Relativity. It turns out that all the major predictions of GR can be reproduced fairly simply using a ZPE methodology, but in a manner originally suggested by Eddington in 1920  and later by Einstein. Their comments are discussed and amplified later in this paper using an approach similar to de Felice  and Setterfield .
With this background, it can be stated that SED offers an approach to the cosmological constant problem that makes predictions more in keeping with observation. Thus Haisch and Rueda, using SED formalism, noted that “the ZPF [zero point fields] cannot be the manifestation of a cosmological constant, Λ, or vice versa.” Indeed, “The ZPF is NOT a candidate source for a cosmological constant. The ZPF…can have nothing to do with Λ and is not, of itself, a source of gravitation…Gravitation is not caused by the mere presence of the ZPF, [but] rather by secondary motions of charged particles driven by the ZPF. In this view it is impossible for the ZPF to give rise to a cosmological constant” . So, on the SED approach, the ZPE in and of itself does not exhibit the forces that GR and QED associate with gravity and the cosmological constant. Perhaps a word of explanation is needed about this.
“Now a basic result from classical electrodynamics is that a fluctuating charge emits an electromagnetic radiation field. The result is that all charges in the universe will emit secondary electromagnetic fields in response to their interactions with the primary field, the ZPF. The secondary electromagnetic fields turn out to have a remarkable property. Between any two [charged] particles they give rise to an attractive force… whether the charges are positive or negative. The result is that [this weak attractive force] may be identified with gravity. …Since the gravitational force is caused by the trembling motion [Zitterbewegung], there is no need to speak any longer of a gravitational mass as the source of gravitation. The source of gravitation is the driven motion of a charge, not the attractive power of the thing physicists are used to thinking of as mass” .
The calculations of those physicists verify these concepts. The understanding of mass that particle interaction with the ZPE provides is amplified below. But the key point for our purpose here is that, on the SED approach, the mere existence of the ZPE does not of itself result in gravitational or cosmological constant forces. The problems caused by these forces being directly associated with the ZPE in GR and QED are thus obviated by this approach.
While these developments raise the question of the relevance of GR, the SED treatment of gravitation presents alternative approaches to GR. The important concept is that, in locations where mass exists, additional secondary electromagnetic fields augment the already existing ZPE. With these augmenting fields in mind, the background for an SED approach was given by Sir Arthur Eddington who stated that: “Light moves more slowly in a material medium than in a vacuum, the velocity being inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium… We can thus imitate the gravitational effect on light precisely, if we imagine the space round the sun filled with a refracting medium which gives the appropriate velocity of light. To give the velocity c(1-2µ/r) the refractive index must be 1/(1-2µ/r).. …[Geometrical optics shows] the total deflection of a ray passing at a distance r from the centre of the sun is then a deflection of the same ray [in accord with] Einstein’s theory” .
Since then, others have discussed this proposal. De Felice mentioned nine authors who have looked at this similarity and points out that Einstein himself also suggested the idea that gravitation is equivalent to an optical medium . The optical medium in SED physics is, of course, the ZPE itself, while the spatial changes in the density of the medium are due to the secondary fields of oscillating particles. Using this type of approach, University of Connecticut physicist Howard Hayden noted that the same results as GR can be derived exactly by this method “with a few lines of high school algebra” [full statement available at: http://www.ldolphin.org/vanFlandern/ as of 20th May 2006]. It can also be shown that other predictions of GR can be equally simply obtained, including the perihelion advance of the planet Mercury, in a manner similar to Setterfield  and other works referenced therein.

In 1888, Vincent Van Gogh was waiting for the arrival of his friend Paul Gauguin at his home in Arles. The modern artist had plans to create The Studio of the South and work with his friend, hopefully attracting more artists. He was enthusiastic about creating a new way of painting that revolved around capturing the effect of the sunlight like the Impressionist artists did, and wished to do this along with Gauguin’s guidance. Van Gogh paints Vase With Twelve Sunflowers to hang in the guest room to welcome him and convince him to work together, and also painted Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers to pair with it.
These were not the only sunflower paintings Van Gogh produced. In a small period, he painted many other masterpieces with the same flower, changing a few details in color and composition from one to another. This was not the first time he approached this theme; while living in Paris a year earlier, he produced a series of sunflowers but fallen on the floor, as opposed to in vases. These earlier works differ, as the flowers are dried out, fallen and look like they are dying. Gauguin had already admired these paintings very much, but when he arrived in Arles and saw this new take on the subject, he knew Van Gogh had found his ultimate theme. He was one of the few artists of the time who saw Van Gogh’s greatness.
This masterpiece was painted with the intention of later decorating their new studio. Van Gogh does not shy away from the real representation of the flowers, but of course in his stylized way. As he worked with real flowers as a reference, some would have fewer petals, be dried up or shriveled – he painted them just as they were.
This series of painting represented very similar composition, having a centered vase and a base support, like a table. What Van Gogh did vary was the number of sunflowers and the colors used. In Vase With Twelve Sunflowers, the artist used tonalities of yellow predominantly – applying the color to the vase, flowers, and table. The flowers vary from a light, vibrant yellow to orange-brown and ochre. Different from its pair, this version of the painting has a blue background that highlights, even more, the bright flowers.
If you have any request to alter your reproduction of Vase With Twelve Sunflowers II, you must email us after placing your order and we'll have an artist contact you. If you have another image of Vase With Twelve Sunflowers II that you would like the artist to work from, please include it as an attachment. Otherwise, we will reproduce the above image for you exactly as it is.

CROWN HEIGHTS — The artists of Excess NYC are turning coffee grounds to flower gardens and greening Central Brooklyn, one Bodega Bike-load at a time.
"The front part holds the edible food, and the back is a tumbler, and that's where we put the organics for composting," said artist Brooke Singer of the unique and eye-catching vehicle. "It gets quite a lot of attention, especially with someone sitting on the back and peddling the tumbler. That's a conversation starter to attract people."
Despite its local flavor, the year-old Brooklyn project is actually an offshoot of an art commission from Madrid, where the original bodega bike wheeled between markets collecting unsellable food for free distribution.
"They were the ones that raised the issue of food waste, because they were seeing a lot of people going through the trash looking for food after the economic crisis hit," Singer said.
"We built the first generation of the project on food rescue and building a mobile unit to collect edible but not sellable food from merchants and wheel it around the city and having people take food they wanted."
Now, Singer, collaborator Ricardo Zuniga and a group of dedicated volunteers are selling their success to local cafes and restaurants in Central Brooklyn, whose trash can be up to 50 percent organic, compostable material. Among their early partners is the newly opened Lincoln Station on Lincoln Place and Washington Avenue, whose coffee grounds the group collects for compost each week.
"We found there was already a lot of infrastructure around food waste. Dumpster diving, there's a whole movement around that, freegans and whatnot," ___ said. "Our project became a lot about composting too. There’s a pilot program in New York, but it didn’t seem like it was well distributed and a lot of people were engaged with it. We built the bike and the idea is to team up with local businesses."
What can't be redistributed will end up fertilizing flowers and vegetables in neighborhood gardens like the one on Sterling Street where the pair house their unique vehicle.
By redistributing or recycling unwanted food, they're helping to reduce waste. By biking around the city, they're raising awareness about a subject that's far from the minds of most New Yorkers.
"We're looking for vacant lots that would host expanding the compost site and allow us to grow that even more," Singer said. "Now a lot of it is about convincing business to change their practices. It requires creating a seperate space in the kitchen for scrap, but we save them money and reduces the hauling fees, and it can be part of making a greener infrastructure in the city."

I can’t recall how I came across John Neff’s book. It must have been recommended by one of the Investment Masters, but to be honest, the name John Neff didn’t jump out at me, and the book certainly didn’t either. With pictures of currency symbols on the front cover, I’d be inclined to think John Neff was a currency trader. And I’m embarrassed by that oversight. During the thirty years that John Neff ran the ‘Windsor Fund‘, he increased the initial stake an incredible fifty-seven times. In the process the Windsor Fund became the largest mutual fund in the United States, and John Neff became an investing legend.
While the commonalities with Neff and the world’s Investment Masters are striking, like each of those Masters, Neff had his own style. While he was a low ‘Price to Earnings Ratio’ guy in every sense of the word, earnings growth was always front of mind. He hunted for things the crowd disdained. And when the crowd’s affections turned, he was always happy to oblige. Neff never fell in love with his stocks; every stock Windsor owned was for sale. Neff continually and tactfully recycled funds into ‘behind-the-market’, undervalued stocks. He condemned institutional group-think and spent his entire career ‘arguing with the market’.
I thoroughly enjoyed John Neff’s memoir, ‘John Neff on Investing‘. While Neff shares his insights into the characteristics that defined him and his investing approach, he does so while taking the reader on a journey through the market action of the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s. This is such a rare quality to any investment book and can help provide context when looking at markets today. Successful investing, after all, requires an understanding of history. In this regard, Neff’s book is an invaluable guide.
“When shares of a stock change hands for 30 times earnings, who doesn’t recall the day when shares fetched only 12 times earnings? But where were the buyers then? Most were cowering in fear of the latest news report or piling onto the speediest growth-stock bandwagon, even if its wheels were about to fall off ..
John Neff allocated his clients assets into areas of the market that were out-of-favour and cheap in a rational and disciplined manner. And while Neff’s strategy outperformed, it didn’t always. At times when markets were momentum-laden and valuations were stretched, Neff tended to under-perform. An imminent inflection point was usually at hand.
Neff’s lessons remain timeless: History has a tendency to repeat. While most people forget the lessons of the past, Neff’s book is a great reminder of many of those lessons, particularly in light of today’s momentum driven market. De ja vu, indeed.

Yahoo, the Internet giant located in Silicon Valley will lay off approximately 2000 employees today or in the following few. Moreover, this will be just a warm-up for officials, as more and possibly bigger rounds or firings are expected to hit in a couple of months.
These changes in personnel are part of a restructuring plan projected by the new CEO, Scott Thompson, and should affect all departments, with the product division being hit hardest.
Moreover, Yahoo's advertising technology and search business is thought likely to be sold in the near future. Also affected will be Yahoo's local business, the marketing and research department and media units suffering the most.
Sources also claim this to be only the start, with Thompson sending memos to some employees and advising in meetings that the "real change" is yet to come. Also, a restructuring plan will be announced next week, which could include even larger waves of layoffs. Yahoo currently has 14,000 employees.
Yahoo's problems don't end here, the company also suffering from a Facebook patent attack and a fight for board seats from shareholder Third Point as well as changes in the upper-parts of the staff.

Isn’t the git history in the picture above nice to work with? There are probably many problems in that repository, but one of them is most definitely the use of feature branches. Let’s see how such a bad thing became such a common practice.
When git came to replace SVN it brought a ridiculously easy way to create branches.
The idea behing git is to ease your pain as a developer working on many features at a time. Not to push branches around and tie them to the whole development process of your team.
When JIRA and others came along , companies like Atlassian started to heavily promote the “git workflow” and feature branches. The “Create branch” button appeared in your JIRA tasks and boom, feature branches were born! Atlassian tells you all about it in this interesting article. I like Atlassian’s products very much. Keep in mind though that their core business is tasks management for development teams. The more tangled it gets with branches and code, the better.
Ten years later, feature branching is a standard in most teams, when in fact it doesn’t bring any benefits to your bottom line: release quality software to production. Not only feature branches provide zero benefit, they actually slow you down!
I’ve heard this way too many times. This falls in the same category as statements like “It compiles so it works”.
In practice the merging leads to the “unpredictable release syndrome”. It can be quick or evince a major incompatibility, which needs fixing in a rush. You are either lucky or … your timeline shifts and code quality drops.
The real problem with feature branches is the reason they are so popular: they pump a developer’s pride and make you feel good about your work.
Your feature branch is your own perfect garden and you can keep it clean and shiny. But it is separated from the other gardens of your team. The more you work apart, the harder it is to reconcile.
I am a big fan of the management book “The goal”. It shows how over time people tend to use metrics that highlight local optimums of a process because it is more comfortable. They just lose focus on their global bottom line. The book is about a production plant, but the analogy stands. Your feature branch is a local optimum with high quality code. It may also be so far off the main branch that it is of no use for the upcoming release.
Here is a detailed description of the idea. I have no affiliation with the linked website. It is just a great overview of the concept.
It is teamwork that makes or breaks software projects.
Working days on code that will never get to the release on time is the biggest failure there is for a team.
Another upside of pushing to the main branch is that your changes will run live in some environment. It is always good to deploy and battle test your code, even in progress, in some real deploy.
“WIP” in the main branch?
If you read so far you are probably thinking “This is crazy, how can I push my half done work to the main branch when it will probably get deployed to production very soon!?!”.
Keep reading, all the objections you can think of are wrong.
How can I expose unfinished work?
Use feature toggles. They can be environment variables or whatever suits you best to turn on and off your work in progress. Make it defensive of course so your half finished code does not get active in production by mistake.
Another thing that comes for free: you can turn the feature off in production if a problem arise after deployment. After a few days or weeks, once the feature runs smoothly, just remove the toggle from the code.
What if I break the main branch for everyone?
It is 2019. If you don’t have a continuous integration setup that builds and runs tests automatically … then set it up yesterday. If you break anything you’ll be notified before it becomes a problem for the whole team.
There must be a code review before we merge anything in!
That’s a valid point. Code reviews do not need feature branches though. If the code review culture is strong in your team then it can very well be done on the commit to the main branch. The reviewer would stop by the author of the commit and discuss what needs to be fixed. The fix would come in another commit. Even better, have the code review together before pushing the commit in the first place.
If you prefer to do code reviews offline, one could very well make a branch for a commit and create a pull request for it. This seems overkill though. The main thing to improve here is probably not the branching model, but the code review process.
If you have a given branch per feature then it is easy to track code back to your agile board. You can navigate from a task to the branch that implements it.
It sounds cool, while in reality this is useless! How many people can you have on an agile team? Up to 5? Up to 10? How hard is it to ask the guy running a task or story what commits you need to look at to deep dive into the implementation?
After some time, once tasks are completed for a long time, linking tasks to code does not make sense anymore. Developers rely on git blame to know the who, on code content to know the how, and hopefully on comments to know the why.
It became common to see major UI features or updates released using an “opt in” approach. Github, Bitbucket, Gmail, … to name a few.
The concept is that major changes are introduced using a banner “Hey we have this new feature / improved dashboard / whatever. Click here to try it out”. You can opt in, and usually opt out as easily if you don’t like the change. This is a very good adoption testing strategy as it involves the end users in the decision process. If people opt in and stay there it means you are improving the experience. If they opt in and out … you know you’ve changed things for worse.
If you are using feature toggles from the start, exposing these on a per user basis at run time becomes very easy.
If you never thought of trunk based development as an alternative to the feature branch mantra, I hope this article gave you some perspective and will to try it out.
The best thing is that to get there you’ll need to setup or improve every other aspect of your process (CI, automated tests, code reviews). This is a good path to take. We obviously recommend Fire CI as a continuous integration tool.
Remember that your bottom line is to put quality software in front of your users. The closer your code is from the production environment at all times, the better.

John Rowe of Exelon is the Kevin Bacon of D.C.
Call it six degrees of John Rowe.
The CEO of Exelon is featured in one of the stories about "America's Best Companies" by Forbes. Along with all the fine points about what makes Exelon tick, the story gives insight to Mr. Rowe's connections to the White House.
Frank Clark, who runs ComEd, was an adviser to President Barack Obama before he ran for president and was one of the president's largest fund-raisers.
David Axelrod, a senior adviser during the campaign and now in the White House, was a consultant to Exelon.
And it's known that Rahm Emanuel, the president's chief of staff, and Mr. Rowe are friends. And it may very well be because Mr. Emanuel helped broker the $8.2 billion deal between energy companies Unicom and Peco when he was at then-investment bank Wasserstein Perella, as Forbes reports. "In his two-year career there, Emanuel earned $16.2 million," according to congressional disclosures. "His biggest deal was the Exelon merger," Forbes says.
"We are proud to be the president's utility," an Exelon lobbyist told the magazine. "It's nice for John to be able to go to the White House and they know his name."

Question: "Do angels appear to people today?"
Answer: In the Bible angels appear to people in unpredictable and various ways. From a casual reading of Scripture, a person might get the idea that angelic appearances were somewhat common, but that is not the case. There is an increasing interest in angels today, and there are many reports of angelic appearances. Angels are part of almost every religion and generally seem to have the same role of messenger. In order to determine whether angels appear today, we must first get a biblical view of their ancient appearances.
The first appearance of angels in the Bible is in Genesis 3:24, when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. God placed cherubim to block the entrance with a flaming sword. The next angelic appearance is in Genesis 16:7, about 1,900 years later. Hagar, the Egyptian servant who bore Ishmael to Abraham, was instructed by an angel to return and submit to her mistress, Sarai. Abraham was visited by God and two angels in Genesis 18:2, when God informed him of the impending destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The same two angels visited Lot and instructed him to escape the city with his family before it was destroyed (Genesis 19:1-11). The angels in this case also displayed supernatural power by blinding the wicked men who were threatening Lot.
When Jacob saw a multitude of angels (Genesis 32:1), he immediately recognized them as the army of God. In Numbers 22:22, an angel confronted the disobedient prophet Balaam, but Balaam did not see the angel at first, although his donkey did. Mary received a visit from an angel who told her that she would be the mother of the Messiah, and Joseph was warned by an angel to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt to protect them from Herod’s edict (Matthew 2:13). When angels appear, those who see them are often struck with fear (Judges 6:22; 1 Chronicles 21:30; Matthew 28:5). Angels deliver messages from God and do His bidding, sometimes by supernatural means. In every case, the angels point people to God and give the glory to Him. Holy angels refuse to be worshiped (Revelation 22:8-9).
According to modern reports, angelic visitations come in a variety of forms. In some cases, a stranger prevents serious injury or death and then mysteriously disappears. In other cases, a winged or white-clothed being is seen momentarily and is then gone. The person who sees the angel is often left with a feeling of peace and assurance of God's presence. This type of visitation seems to agree with the biblical pattern as seen in Acts 27:23.
Another type of visitation that is sometimes reported today is the “angel choir” type. In Luke 2:13, the shepherds were visited by a heavenly choir as they were told of the birth of Jesus. Some people have reported similar experiences in places of worship. This experience does not fit the model so well, as it typically serves no purpose other than to provide a feeling of spiritual elation. The angel choir in Luke’s Gospel was heralding some very specific news.
A third type of visitation involves only a physical feeling. Elderly people have often reported feeling as though arms or wings were wrapped around them in times of extreme loneliness. God is certainly the God of all comfort, and Scripture speaks of God covering with His wings (Psalm 91:4). Such reports may well be examples of that covering.
God is still as active in the world as He has always been, and His angels are certainly still at work. Just as angels protected God's people in the past, we can be assured that they are guarding us today. Hebrews 13:2 says, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” As we obey God's commands, it is quite possible that we may encounter His angels, even if we do not realize it. In special circumstances, God allowed His people to see His unseen angels, so God’s people would be encouraged and continue in His service (2 Kings 6:16-17).
We must also heed the warnings of Scripture concerning angelic beings: there are fallen angels who work for Satan who will do anything to subvert and destroy us. Galatians 1:8 warns us to beware of any “new” gospel, even if it is delivered by an angel. Colossians 2:18 warns against the worship of angels. Every time in the Bible when men bowed down before angels, those beings firmly refused to be worshiped. Any angel who receives worship, or who does not give glory to the Lord Jesus, is an imposter. Second Corinthians 11:14-15 states that Satan and his angels disguise themselves as angels of light in order to deceive and lead astray anyone who will listen to them.
We are encouraged by the knowledge that God's angels are at work. In special circumstances, we might even have one of those rare personal visitations. Greater than that knowledge, however, is the knowledge that Jesus Himself has said, “Surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Jesus, who made the angels and receives their worship, has promised us His own presence in our trials.

Tell us a bit about yourself; your role as a Business Advisor and your career background?
My role is to provide growth support to small businesses through government and European funded business support programmes. I primarily help business owners access the finance they require to start and grow.
I have 15 years Business Advice experience with three industry leading organisations, and prior to this my career included IT Product Management (4 years) , Recruitment (6 Years) and Marketing (7 years). As a business adviser, it’s important that I have a good understanding of business functions such as sales and marketing, finance, operations, leadership and management, as well as strong verbal communication skills for articulating ideas to clients.
I enjoy working with businesses who are seeking growth but I am equally strong in dealing with businesses in difficulty and helping them to survive.
And what are the most challenging aspects of your job?
Managing large volumes of clients and keeping up to date with new business support initiatives across the whole of the South west can present challenges, but positive ones!
What help and support are you able to offer businesses in the West of England?
I work with small business owners directly on funding application on behalf of fund providers and delivery partners. These include debt finance, business grants and alternative business finance. I specialise in Business Planning and Finance and run a monthly workshop at Business West in Swindon.
What would be your top tip to anyone wanting to start their own business?
Find out what you need to know. I regularly support clients who encounter problems with leases/contracts, unpaid bills, partnerships disputes, insurance issues, cash flow problems or are unable to access finance. In the main these are due to inadequate business planning or not putting in place the necessary paperwork and safeguards. Dealing with these issues can seriously slow down or even floor a business before it has properly started. I always encourage pre start-ups to attend our business planning and finance workshops if possible.

Family Itineraries - Provincetown Chamber of Commerce, Inc.
There’s so much for families to do in and around Provincetown! In order to make it easier for you to plan your family’s next trip to PTown, the following are family-friendly activities you and children can enjoy based on the length of time you have in Ptown. We’ve also made suggestions on what to do based on the ages of your youngsters, be they little ones, children or teenagers.
Either way, we know that you and your children will have a fun-filled stay here!
• Both of these spectacular beaches are part of the National Seashore yet have very gentle waters that are perfect even for little ones.
• Herring Cove’s parking lot fills up by mid-morning during high season so get there early.
• Stroll colorful Commercial Street for as much time as you have. There’s something here for everyone.
• This street might feel crowded in July and August for those with strollers; you may want to avoid peak time such as dinner time and evening. Shops on Commercial Street are open late during July and August so this makes a great after-dinner family activity.
• Do this in the morning while kids have lots of energy to climb all the stairs to the top.
• Tots will probably not be able to make the climb to the top.
• Bring a camera for the awesome view of the tip of Cape Cod.
• The calm waters of Provincetown Harbor make an excellent back drop for sunset photos.
Great fun to watch Carnival parade!
• Make sure you bring food and water for your excursion.
• The rugged scenery and rolling dunes necessitate photo stops!
• Make a reservation ahead of time since whale watches from PTown are THE BEST on the East Coast!
• Toddlers might not enjoy this excursion due to the confines of the boats.
• If your child is prone to seasickness, give him/her Dramamine or Bonine prior to departure.
• Make a reservation ahead of time for these one-of-a-kind tours.
• Bring your camera for unique scenery.
Beech Forest: It’s for the birds!
• Since PTown sticks out 40 miles from the mainland, it is a migratory spot for birds. Beech Forest’s short walking trails provide opportunities to bird watch.
• Explain to children ahead of time that the quieter they are, the more birds they’ll spot.
• The gentle waters here are perfect for all ages, especially little ones.
• Visit this in the morning when kids have better attention spans for viewing the artifacts.
• Perfect for little ones to blow off some steam any time.
• Check out the library’s schedule of children’s events prior to your visit. Even when there aren’t events, children’s books and a play kitchen await.
• Bring your camera for a photo of the huge replica ship in the center of the children’s section.
• This 1.2 mile walk is awesome but children and parents must be in reasonably good shape for the walk over the breakwater’s boulders.
• Sneakers are suggested, not flip flops.
• Bring plenty of water and snacks since there are no facilities.
• Bring binoculars and camera for bird sightings.
Water Sports: Make a splash!
• For up-closed and personal views of PTown harbor, book these water activities ahead of time.
• You will have to adhere to individual outfitter guidelines in regards to their minimum age recommendations.
Let's splash some water in the swimming pool!
Lots of Music on Commercial Street!

Giving up thrilling Grenache-driven notes of licorice soaked blackberries, caramelized meats, chocolate and roasted herbs, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a beautiful texture and superb overall balance and length. In short, it’s a knockout old-vine Grenache cuvée to drink over the coming decade or longer.

Drunk driving caused about a third of all car accident fatalities in the U.S. in 2014, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The NHTSA also reports that illegal and prescription drugs are a factor in approximately 16 percent of all motor vehicle crashes.
New York has several laws outlining the consequences of drunk driving. If you suffer an injury in a drunk driving accident in New York, it is important you understand your rights to recover damages and how a negligence claim works in a drunk driving crash. Buttafuoco & Associates can help. Call us at 1-800-NOW-HURT for help filing and building your claim against the drunk driver.
Drivers under 21 may not drive with a BAC of .02 or higher.
Commercial drivers may not drive with a BAC of .04 or higher.
Driving while ability impaired by a single drug (DWAI/Drug).
Combined influence of drugs and alcohol (DWAI/Combination).
Aggravated driving while intoxicated describes driving with a BAC of .18 or higher.
Driving while ability impaired by alcohol (DWAI/Alcohol) occurs if the driver’s BAC is more than .05 but less than .07.
A person who drives under the influence of drugs or alcohol is negligent per se, meaning negligent because he or she violated the law. If that person causes an accident, anybody seriously injured by the impaired driver may file a lawsuit against the drunk driver.
But establishing negligence per se is not enough to hold the drunk driver liable. You must also link the driver’s intoxication to the accident. The police report, eyewitness testimony, accident reconstruction, photographs from the scene, and other evidence can help you prove the drunk driver caused the wreck.
Buttafuoco & Associates will help file your no-fault claim as well as your lawsuit against the negligent driver. We will also explore liability of other parties, such as a bar or restaurant that served the drunk driver.
The Dram Shop Law may allow victims of drunk drivers to hold a bar, restaurant, liquor store, or other establishment liable if it continues to serve an obviously intoxicated person who later drives drunk and causes a wreck. Victims may also sue a party who supplied alcohol to a minor (does not have to have sold it) who later causes a drunk driving accident.
Criminal and civil cases proceed differently and are decided by different standards. While the driver must be proven guilty of the crime of DWI beyond a reasonable doubt, the evidence needed for a civil case against that driver is held to a lower standard of proof.
Even if the driver involved in your crash is not convicted of a DWI, you may still hold him or her liable for the accident. In your civil case for damages, you need to prove “by a preponderance of evidence,” that the defendant acted recklessly (e.g., drove while intoxicated) and caused your accident.
The damages in an accident caused by a drunk or intoxicated driver follow the same no-fault laws as a normal traffic accident. You will still collect up to the limits of your PIP coverage. If your damages exceed PIP coverage or you suffered “serious injuries,” you may be able to seek non-economic (pain and suffering) damages in addition to medical costs and lost wages.
A New York car accident lawyer firm Buttafuoco & Associates can help you file your claim(s) and prove liability for your damages.
