June 14 (UPI) -- A record dust storm has been swirling on Mars for nearly two weeks. While the weather has forced the Opportunity rover to bunker down and suspend all scientific activities, several other spacecraft are taking the opportunity to study the storm.
"This is the ideal storm for Mars science," Jim Watzin, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters, said in a news release. "We have a historic number of spacecraft operating at the Red Planet. Each offers a unique look at how dust storms form and behave -- knowledge that will be essential for future robotic and human missions."
Dust storms are a well known phenomenon on Mars, but they are infrequent. The last Martian dust storm occurred in 2007. The storms can develop seemingly overnight and last weeks, or even months.
During the southern hemisphere's summer, Martian dust rises higher into the atmosphere as it's heated. The updrafts of dust can trigger more winds, triggering a feedback loop that fuels the birth of a dust storm.
The current dust storm, which is still growing, currently covers 14 million square miles of the Martian surface, nearly 25 percent of the planet.
Scientists gauge the strength of a dust storm with the unit tau, a measurement of the atmosphere's opacity. In 2007, Opportunity weathered a large dust storm with a tau of 5.5. As of Sunday morning, the current dust storm boasted a tau of 10.8.
Now, the tau near the Curiosity rover is rising, too.
Because dust storms can alter the Martian landscape, shaping the surface's rocks and sediment, understanding the storms' dynamics is essential to understanding the Red Planet's geological history.
NASA's two orbiters, the 2001 Mars Odyssey and MAVEN, can help scientists observe the storms growth and movements from above, as well as measure the levels of dust in the atmosphere. The Curiosity Rover, which is currently collecting rock samples on Mount Sharp, can measure temperatures in the lower atmosphere, as well as the storm's tau.
In addition to measuring the storms size and opacity, like NASA's other spacecraft, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO, can measure wind speed.
Scientists at NASA hope to combine the observations from their entire Martian fleet to build more accurate dust storm models -- models that in the future could help them forecast dust storms.

Andrea's Story | Hope Enterprises, Inc.
Andrea came to Hope Enterprises three years ago. She was in her late twenties and living with her parents at the time. The staff at Hope thought their Community Supports Program would be the perfect fit for her, and they were right.
Amber, Andrea’s Hope companion is also one of her best friends, and one of her sponsors for the Special Olympics. Andrea is a competitive young woman who likes to win, so she competes in several different sports, including bowling, bocce and the 800m with her walker. In addition to participating, she also enjoys going to the Pennsylvania state games at Penn State to watch many of the Special Olympic sports. Swimming is one of her favorites.
Aside from her involvement with the Special Olympics, since joining the Community Supports Program, Andrea has moved into her very own apartment in the Trinity House with her gray and white cat, Tom. Trinity House is an independent living facility with 11 apartments. She loves living on her own, especially because she says all of her friends live at the Trinity House, too.
Hope was also able to help her prepare for, and find, her full-time job with SunComm Industries, where she packs plastic silverware. Andrea says her job has taught her to stay on task and focus. But her favorite part is earning a paycheck that she’s able to use to spend on some of her favorite things, like going to the movies, shopping and getting her nails done.
For every disability, there is a HopeAbility. Andrea was able to gain the HopeAbility of independence through the Hope Community Supports Program.

There are not a lot of specifics in the Eden narrative in the Bible and we are left to wonder what was, is the core lie that Satan told, tells humanity, which led them to be disconnected from God, from the realm of heaven and thus lose their immortal soul, to have to have God put his Word to Flesh?
A conversation recently gave me a pretty good idea. A center for holistic stuff, someone there had called me to discuss my possibly training with them as a spiritual life coach. Hitler came up and in the metaphysical, New Age objective truth, Dharma view of things, Hitler was not evil, he had a path, he got lost, he was not evil, not an evil man, etc….get the gist. As I thought about other conversations with those of the New Age persuasion, even a family member most recently, it finally hit me. Satan’s lie isn’t that he doesn’t exist or even that God doesn’t, his big lie is subjective truth and morality. That’s his big lie. Now we have a society where there are no boundaries, Pedophoellia is being given a different name, label to try and make it seem less horrific and deplorable than it is. If Hitler, Stalin, if their souls were not so corrupted, so not even sure there are words to describe it, then what is evil. These men were and are, same as with Pol Pot, Mao Zedong. These men were, always will be the definition of EVIL. Gender Dysphoria is it seems the norm now and irresponsible parents are having their young kids have surgery rather than help them understand who they are in Christ, that they were made male or female according to the will of the creator and that is to be cherished, loved, honored, celebrated, whatever distorted thoughts they have about their sexuality, gender is not coming from God, from a place of distortion, rejection of self. There is even a website that promotes alternative relationship situations, trios and whatever else goes for you to be happy. Subjective truth is all about me me me in this moment, what my impulses say I want, all about feeling, and that means lots of distortion, means the Prince and Principalities etc.. Paul spoke of in the New Testament are loud and clear and they are the ones being listened to, just like in the Garden.
In that Garden oF Eden, they had a choice to make honor and believe in God’s objective holy truth, or Satan’s subjective do as you please, screw any and all consequences, even to your own well being, that of others etc.., just do your thing and whoever doesn’t like it, screw you, God included. Ding Ding, first prize if you can guess which one they chose, we have a winner, it wasn’t God’s truth, nope, it was the Satan Version 2.0, do as I please, to hell with anything else. I’ve been there more than once, never ended well. I got lost in the choice thing myself and more than once chose the rebel truth, Satan’s truth, and it didn’t work out well. It seems now, more and more people are spitting in the face of God’s truth, of objective truth and instead moving more and more to Satan’s Subjective Truth 2.0 or higher. What can we who get it do, well, speak up, and yeah you might get people yelling your face, but it’ll be something to put in our diary. Not saying to stand on a corner all by yourself and start screaming the Gospel, no. Maybe you can get packets of bookmarks with some bible passages and when you go to the beauty salon, when you are leaving, say, I want to say thank you for the great service and in addition to the tip you leave give them a bookmark, little things like that.
Satan is very clever, he disguises subjective truth and reality, including in the moral arena as “rights” and “happiness, pursuit of” and all that jazz. If truth is only what I feel, want etc.. in any given moment and not based on long term foundations, then there is not truth, so what does society have, nothing, what do people have, nothing, who are they, nothing, no one because they have no care identity, since there is no core. The New Agers will say, the core is “spiritual being”, there is not sin, only good and bad decisions, so what Hitler did, it was his spiritual being out of alignment, uhh, no it was evil, pure satanic evil. Subjective truth, even those who participated in the atrocities will twist and turn things to justify what they did. Truth either is or isn’t, either we core truths, unchangeable, by which our nation, our faith institutions, we live by or we have nothing, we have no truth. For those of us who have been found or found themselves again, truly, we understand this and we understand that God’s Word is Objective Truth, The Truth, Principles by which nations, society, and lives can thrive. Subjective truth, not truth, it’s whatever works according to what I feel in the moment, and according to what I see as truth, as reality, as moral truth etc…, me, I’m the God source, the one making the rules, me. No, that’s not how it works, not according to God, not according to scripture.
Satan sold Adam and Eve a big lie, subjective truth and reality, truth is whatever you want, whatever you need it to be to be happy happy happy etc.., that’s truth. Only, it’s not.

Unless you’re mega rich or working in a full time job, funding your small business idea can be a real headache. For me and other budding mumpreneurs – and I’m thinking of full time mums with children at home under 5 – this can be make or break.
Now, I’m not saying I’m some sort of expert. I’m just a mum who took her dream a step forward to become a reality. Charlie Moo’s is a bit like my third child, growing around my family life, through customer feedback, the likes and dislikes of my children and my finances.
So how did I get started?
Well, as crazy as it sounds, my initial idea came about while I was pregnant with Megan. Charlie had not long turned one and I’d been enjoying motherhood but was in need of brain stimulation. So what was my plan? I bought £56.65 of wooden fillers from a shopkeeping friend and sold them at school fêtes and village carnivals. ‘Daddy Moo’ and Charlie would come along and help me set up and then come back to help me pack up.
I was actually selling products at a carnival 2 weeks before my due date! Once Megan was born, in August 2008, I started working on my website. Well, what else do you do at 3am, when you’re up breastfeeding?
So now I had a website (www.charliemoos.co.uk) to start selling, but this kind of thing doesn’t happen over night! So I needed to keep doing local events. I’d take Megan with me, as newborns tend to sleep most of the day, and Charlie and Daddy Moo would enjoy some time together. But I still needed more money to invest in things like branding and my business identity.
In January last year, I replied to a media request from Take a Break magazine. It was all about people who’d changed careers after having children. Perfect for me! And I was paid £150, but more importantly national media coverage for Charlie Moo’s.
So, by now, I had a product, which was selling reasonably well; I had a website and a brand, but I needed to take it one step further.
So, I joined the Prince’s Trust Business Mentor Scheme – a four day intensive course by the end of which I’d gained a fabulous business mentor and support for 2 years. I also qualified for a £200 ‘will it work’ grant.
As Megan and Charlie Moo’s speed towards their second birthday I still haven’t needed to look for more investment. Sometimes I have to wait to pursue new ideas, as Charlie Moo’s funds itself, which I’m really proud of! I’ve not risked my family’s finances or taken out loans or anything.
Joanne Dewberry runs Charlie Moo (party bags, gifts and toys) from her home in rural Dorset. She also started Networking Mummies (Dorset) with Laura Morris of Rentabuggy.co.uk.
I know how fab is she!
This should really inspire others to take those first steps! Well done Joanne.
A jpourney of a thousand miles begins with a single step…indeedy!
Thank you everyone 🙂 Sometimes you just have to believe and be patient and it will all work out.
What a great story! Well done you I love hearing of mum’s doing what they do best and also being able to spend more time with their children!
Great article! Well done you!

Q: Are all cemeteries regulated by the State of New York?
A: No, the Division of Cemeteries and the New York State Cemetery Board regulate only those cemeteries that are incorporated under the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. Cemeteries that do not fall under their jurisdiction include religious, municipal, private, national and family cemeteries.
Q: Can a cemetery refuse burial?
3. Nonpayment of an authorized lot tax.
These three conditions apply only to those cemeteries under the jurisdiction of the NYS Cemetery Board.
Q: Can someone be buried on private property?
A: While some communities may have local regulations on this matter, there are no state regulations concerning burial on private property. However, the New York State Sanitary Code (10NYCRR, Parts 100-158) does define the distances required between cemeteries and water sources (which vary from district to district). Anyone wishing to make burial arrangements on private property should check with his or her local government officials.
Q: What is the New York State Cemetery Board, and what are its functions?
A: The NYS Cemetery Board oversees the Division of Cemeteries' operations and administers the New York State Cemetery Law. The cemetery law sets standards for the establishment, maintenance, and preservation of burial grounds in New York State.
The Cemetery Board is made up of the New York State Secretary of State, the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Commissioner of Health.
Q: Can I choose how my remains will be disposed of?
A: Yes, you have a choice of how your remains will be disposed, including cremation, burial, and entombment. Written instructions explaining your wishes are recommended.
Q: Are there any rules on heir ship regarding unused graves on family plots?
A: Burial rights obtained through inheritance should be recorded with the cemetery. Section 1515(b) of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law regarding ownership of lots states that, unless specifically devised by will, (including reference to the specific lot number, section number, cemetery name), a cemetery lot is inherited by the descendants of the lot owner.
Q: What are trust monies, and how can they be invested?
A: Trust monies are funds set aside, and the income is used to preserve cemetery grounds.
Trust investments are regulated by the Estates, Powers, and Trust Law of the State of New York. The law requires that cemeteries entrusted with trust monies ensure that the principal shall not be lost. Securities may take the form of interest-bearing bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, and/or bonds.
Q: Can monies be set aside for the eternal care of the cemetery?
A: In those cemeteries under the jurisdiction of the Cemetery Board, two principal trust funds exist: the perpetual care fund and the permanent maintenance fund. The perpetual care fund consists of individual and varied amounts of contributions by lot owners. The permanent maintenance fund is funded with a portion of current lot sale receipts and $35 from every interment.
The important distinction between these two funds is that perpetual care funds are used for the care of individual graves, plots, mausoleums, or columbarium spaces; while permanent maintenance funds are for cemetery care overall. Only the interest from these funds can be used for maintenance; the principal must remain intact.
Q: What are service charges and how are they regulated in cemeteries?
A: Service charges are fees charged by cemeteries for performing any service after the purchase of the grave or lot. The Cemetery Board must approve any service charge increases proposed by incorporated cemeteries. Requests for increases must be fully documented to be considered by the Cemetery Board.
Q: Is there any state requirement on the depth of graves?
Q: Is a concrete vault or grave liner a requirement for burial?
A cemetery may not sell burial vaults.
Should a lot owner object to the use of the required concrete vault or grave liner at the time of interment based upon religious belief, the cemetery must, without question, cancel the requirement; provided, however, that the cemetery may impose at the time of interment a reasonable fee for the periodic refilling of the grave.
Q: Is there any time limit for filling a grave after burial?
A: While there is no legal requirement on the specific time period for back filling a grave, the Cemetery Board does require that it be completed with reasonable dispatch.

Content marketing, to many of us, is the latest shiny thing, creating buzz and inviting rhetoric from companies large and small. But to the folks who’ve been in and around digital marketing for more than 10 minutes, content marketing is nothing more than media (content) publishing with the goal of acquiring customers.
It’s a fact Beth Kahlich knows all to well, which is one reason I reached out to her to be a part of the first post in my new series, one in which I pick the brain of an expert in the digital marketing sphere.
A digital marketing trainer and consultant with a breadth of experience in the SEO realm, Kahlich— who created her first website in 1993—is as freehearted as she is knowledgeable (and she’s a lot of the latter). In addition to being a frequent speaker and dedicated member of the DFW SEM/SEO community, Kahlich also heads the Dallas Search Engine Academy, which provides hands-on SEO classes to local business owners.
As someone who has more than two decades of experience in digital marketing, you can speak very effectively to how the digital landscape has changed. What would you say has had the biggest impact in digital marketing since you entered the field?
At its core, being online is about connecting with people and gathering information. That much has not changed. Newer technologies have empowered people, so our role as digital marketers has expanded, as we’ve moved beyond being just “doers” but trusted advisors on how to navigate the endless options as well.
Back when I was on bulletin boards and CompuServe groups, we were discussing the same topics that now get batted around on blogs and on Facebook. The scale is so much bigger because those tools are much more accessible than they were in the late 80’s and early 90s.
From a business perspective, the ways companies can connect with their ideal customers has grown exponentially, and the ability to track the effectiveness of your marketing efforts is probably the biggest impact.
Those of us making a living the digital space are well aware of the power of Google. However, we lose sight of the fact that folks not doing what we do on a daily basis and don’t realize the impact of the search giant. They also cannot appreciate how omnipresent search is in our daily lives, including via Gmail. How do you drive home the value of search when clients reach out to you for help?
My students have a pain point when they come to me: They are not ranking for their “chosen” keyword, and they are not getting qualified leads. So my job is to educate them on the complexities and nuances of how Google (and Bing!) interpret information on the web; how people search; and, most important, how they can get in front of their ideal customer by using that knowledge.
As I explain this to them, I often see a light bulb go off, and that is truly my biggest reward. As they start to put it in to action, if they follow my advice, they see quick wins along the way that really drives the point home.
Content marketing is hotter than a six-shooter pistol, with everyone jumping into the fray. Has that led to increased enrollment for you from folks looking to learn SEO?
The trend I see is that at the end of the year, and at the beginning of the year, business owners and in-house marketers have time to reflect on what they are not getting out of their digital marketing, which usually comes back to leads.
Content marketing does figure into it for some clients that are starting to “get it.” However, most businesses—large and small—still do not see why content marketing is relevant to their business.
I don’t see content marketing as the driver that makes people want to take my course specifically; although they quickly learn that content is what it’s all about. SEO is 90 percent content.
More and more, were hearing the words “content strategy” as part of the content marketing mix. How do fit content strategy into that discussion with clients? Is it tough to get buy-in?
A lot of this depends on the personality and spirit of the decision maker. It’s important for me to walk them through the explanation of how the search engines interpret information and how the human searcher interacts online, and how these are similar/related and different.
If the decision maker “gets it,” then we are more than halfway there. From there my job is to coach them on the best way to develop and implement that strategy.
In such instances, you have to let the numbers do the talking: analytics and tracking can help (which of course we should be doing, and doing well, for all our clients).
Being in an agency as opposed to being a consultant, I find it interesting that many firms allow clients to cherry-pick SEO from “content,” when it’s tough to do one without the other. I’m interested to know your thoughts on this. Think it’s wise for agencies to adopt this model?
What I have found in my almost six years as a consultant is that people want prices, they want choices, and they want to know exactly what you will be doing for a certain price. SEO and digital marketing do not fit neatly into that model.
So while from an implementation perspective, we on the inside realize it’s very hard to separate SEO from content, and from a sales perspective, it does make sense. And at an agency, you’ve got to be able to explain things in terms the client can quickly wrap their brains around.
Fill in the blank for me: When SEO’s do [ ____ ] the industry will see a tremendous benefit?
Stop chasing the changes at Google. I see lots of businesses that have been damaged by previous SEO companies who claim to have the “secret recipe” to ranking No. 1 on Google. We know what happens next: short term gains and long-term disaster.
SEOs have a bad rap with some people because some of them have been involved in this type of “rank/bank/tank” activity, which is a term I’m borrowing from one of my fellow DFWSEM members.
What about link building? Is that a part of the business you’re actively engaged in?
What do I do about link building? I recommend other companies for that. Link building is basically taking your content and making sure it gets in front of the right audience. It’s really about networking.
Bring out your magic ball: What’s around the corner for SEOs?
As I mentioned above, we have a bad rap with some people because of the “surefire tricks” that have put clients in danger.
So a re-naming ourselves is not a bad idea. I am still a fan of digital marketing consultant.
Of course, mobile is huge. We need to pay careful attention to how search is going to be utilized on mobile devices from both the short query (because you are typing a query) to the long query (because you are using voice search).
Semantic search, natural language processing, and the whole spectrum of Google Hummingbird are truly the future. Google has the data. We need to listen and read between the lines of what they are saying so we can keep providing the best content for humans and search engines.

Clinical Findings: Palm Tocotrienol Helps Protect The Kidney of Diabetic Patients - College product applications- Hunan huacheng Biotech,Inc.
A randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted by a group of researchers from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monash University Malaysia, to investigate the effect of EVNol SupraBio on diabetic nephropathy (also known as diabetic kidney disease).
The study is published in the high-impact journal, Nutrients, focusing on diabetic nephropathy, one of the major complications for diabetes and the leading cause of end stage renal failure worldwide.
In general, kidney damage rarely happens in the first 10 years of diabetes. Kidney failure usually happens 15–25 years after the first symptoms of diabetes.
As diabetic nephropathy takes many years to develop, 45 patients with type 2 diabetes for an average of 18.5 years were selected for this study.
The blood serum of the patients were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of supplementation with either 400 mg/day of EVNol SupraBio or a placebo.
EVNol SupraBio bioenhanced full spectrum palm tocotrienol complex significantly reduced serum creatinine levels, potentially averting the progression of renal impairment among the diabetic nephropathy patients.
No significant changes were observed in the level of HbA1c, serum AGE, sRAGE, Nε-CML and cystatin C in the diabetic nephropathy patients in this study.
This was the opposite to a previous study using a newly induced diabetic rat model that showed supplementation of EVNol SupraBio significantly reduce the aforementioned biomarkers.
As per the researchers, the lack of significant effects observed in this study could be due to the long duration of diabetes among the patients (average 18.5 years), causing a long-term and difficult-to-reverse accumulation of these biomarkers in the body.
This might have hindered the reduction and led the researchers to recommend a longer supplementation time for the tocotrienol to take effect.
Nevertheless, supplementation with EVNol SupraBio complex significantly reduced serum creatinine levels compared with a placebo. Therefore, the researchers concluded that EVNol SupraBio may be useful in addition to the current treatment for diabetic nephropathy.
“Tocotrienol has been proven to have 40–60 times more potent antioxidant activity compared with tocopherol and has superior anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. However, the renoprotective effect of tocotrienol in type 2 diabetes patient is currently limited and we are glad the researchers choose EVNol SupraBio to investigate the effect of tocotrienol in delaying diabetic nephropathy,” says Diyanah Roslan, Nutritionist at ExcelVite.
“The number of people affected by diabetes continue to increase by the year, and it is vital to search for the right remedy to help delay diabetic complications, such as diabetic nephropathy. We are glad this study demonstrates the efficacy of EVNol SupraBio in reducing creatinine level specifically, which potentially could slow down the progression of diabetic nephropathy,” added Bryan See, Business Development Manager of ExcelVite.

Windows users nowadays have a real choice, between two excellent distributions, MiKTeX and TeX Live. TeX Live on windows has only in recent years been a real challenger to the long-established MiKTeX, and even now MiKTeX has features that TeX Live lacks. Both are comprehensive distributions, offering all the established TeX variants (TeX, pdfTeX — both with ε-TeX variants — as well as XeTeX and LuaTeX), together with a wide range of support tools.
Both MiKTeX and TeX Live offer management tools, including the means of keeping an installation “up-to-date”, by reinstalling packages that have been updated on CTAN (the delay between a package update appearing, and it being available to the distribution users) can be as short as a day (and is never very long).
MiKTeX, by Christian Schenk, is the longer-established of the pair, and has a large audience of satisfied users; TeX Live is the dominant distribution in use in the world of Unix-like systems, and so its Windows version may be expected to appeal to those who use both Unix-like and Windows systems. The latest release of MiKTeX — version 2.9 — requires Windows XP, or later (so it does not work on Windows 2000 or earlier).
Both distributions may be used in a configuration which involves no installation at all. MiKTeX’s “portable” distribution may be unpacked on a memory stick, and used on any windows computer without making any direct use of the hard drive. The web page TeX Live portable usage describes the options for installing TeX Live on a memory stick, or for using the TeX Live DVD with no installation at all.
Both MiKTeX and TeX Live may be downloaded and installed, package by package, over the net. This is a mammoth undertaking, only to be undertaken by those with a good network connection (and a patient disposition!).
A ready-to-run copy of the MiKTeX distribution, on DVD may be bought via the MiKTeX web site. MiKTeX may also be installed using ProTeXt, on the TeX Collection DVD.
The TeX Collection DVD also provides an offline installer for TeX Live.
A further (free) option is available thanks to the CygWin bundle, which presents a Unix-like environment in Windows systems (and also provides an X-windows server). The (now obsolete) teTeX distribution is provided as part of the CygWin distribution, but there is a CygWin build of TeX Live so you can have a current TeX system. TeX under CygWin is reputedly somewhat slower than native Win32 implementations such as MiKTeX, and of course the TeX applications behave like Unix-system applications.

In this new post I’m going to show one of the more common ways to prepare them in Italy as a side dish…and what a side dish! 🙂 it’s so great and simple too, and it will make you fully appreciate the whole flavor of porcini.
First of all carefully clean the porcini: don’t wash them, never. Brush their stipe/stem with a small knife or a brush to remove the possible ground, and carefully clean the cap by using a wet kitchen paper. Remove also the possible ruined parts.
When you have cleaned the porcini you can cut them in slices, but keep the stipes/stems divided from the caps: we will have to cook the stems a bit longer than the caps.
Now take a large pan, heat a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic cloves. When the garlic gets a golden color remove it and then add the stipes/stems of the porcini first. Cook them at medium/low heat for about 5 minutes. Mix it sometimes and don’t let them to attach on the bottom.
Then add the caps and cook them together for other 5-6 minutes about, don’t overcook them: in this way they will keep a nice texture and they will not be too much soft. Season also with salt and black pepper, and a couple of minutes before being ready add a knob of butter, and mix well until the butter is melted.
When they are ready switch off the heat, add some fresh parsley and serve them next to some very tasty recipe, as I suggested at the beginning 🙂 Enjoy!
Ah, more autumnal goodness! This do look delectable, and just the way I like them. With some piping hot polenta on the side, a glass of red wine, and perhaps a roaring fire going, who cares if the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder?
Exactly, perfect 😀 thank you!

HONOLULU (AP) — Leave it to the oldest rookie to best illustrate how the PGA Tour has become such a young man's game.
HONOLULU (AP) — Considering the long road he traveled and the setbacks that followed, it's hard to imagine anyone at the Sony Open who appreciates this island paradise more than Chris Thompson. He could have swum to Hawaii in less time than it took him to reach the PGA Tour.
If there is a mini-tour, chances are he has played it.
Most amazing about Thompson is not that it took him 19 years to get there, but that he never quit trying, even as the odds kept shrinking with age.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Left tackle Trent Williams and cornerback Quinton Dunbar are active for Washington on Thanksgiving against Dallas after missing multiple games with injuries.
Williams missed three straight games with a dislocated right thumb, while Dunbar was sidelined four of the previous five games with nerve damage as part of a shin injury.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Colt McCoy knew exactly what his teammates needed to hear.
In the aftermath of a gut-wrenching two-point loss and the sickening season-ending injury to Alex Smith, McCoy stood up in the Washington Redskins locker room and addressed the group.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have ruled out wide receiver Jamison Crowder, running back Chris Thompson and left tackle Trent Williams for their game Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — All games and no practice reps make Alex Smith a dull quarterback.
Washington's offense is without a trio of key playmakers for Sunday's game against visiting Dallas.
Receivers Paul Richardson (shoulder and knee injuries) and Jamison Crowder (ankle) are inactive as well as third-down back Chris Thompson (rib and knee).
They are three of QB Alex Smith's top four targets so far this season, with Thompson leading the Redskins with 26 catches so far. Richardson ranks third on the team with 16, and Crowder is next with 13.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Chris Thompson feels the pain, not the nerves.
Eleven months ago, the running back was in the middle of a career season with the Washington Redskins before he broke his right fibula on a freak play at the Superdome against the New Orleans Saints. He returns to the site of that injury Monday night looking like his old self but not quite feeling back to normal.
Adrian Peterson knows how most people see running backs in their 30s.
So he asked Washington Redskins legend John Riggins how he dealt with it.
"He was like, 'I'm taking care of my body and I have that mindset of you still got it and that determination. Most importantly, playing real hard,'" Peterson said. "Those are some of the same things that keep me going. It's always good to get confirmation from guys who have done it before."
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers lost at Washington on Sunday, and Mike Daniels lost one of his "buddies" when fellow defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson sustained a season-ending ankle injury.
"You never want to see anybody go down. You don't want to see your worst enemy go down out there," Daniels said Monday. "When you see one of your buddies go down, that makes it even worse. Mo and I are pretty close. He sits right next to me on the plane. I'm like, fudge. It's just all bad."
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — For the last few minutes of the first quarter and all of the second, Washington's offense couldn't be stopped.
Whether it was Alex Smith passing or Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson running, the Redskins simply dominated Arizona up front and the 24-6 Washington victory on Sunday was even more dominant than that score would indicate.
Alex Smith doesn't believe in assigned seats.
Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula knew that from his time with Smith in San Francisco, and running back Chris Thompson beamed, "That's a trait from your quarterback that you like to see."
It's a concerted effort by Smith to fit in with the guys, something he did quickly after taking over as the Redskins' franchise quarterback.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Trent Williams and Paul Richardson are pretty sure.
Jay Gruden and Jordan Reed understand there's no way to know.
After the Washington Redskins' starting offense didn't take one snap together as a complete group during the preseason, there's reason for both apprehension and optimism going into their season opener Sept. 9 at the Arizona Cardinals.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have signed four-time All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson.
They're the hot names that everyone wants to know as they head into fantasy football drafts for the 2018 season — the unearthed gems and the deep values that can come out of nowhere to help you win your league and make you look smarter than everyone you are playing against.
But do "sleepers" even really exist in today's fantasy world?
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Chris Thompson goes out for a pass route with his right leg on his mind.
Eight months since breaking his right fibula, Thompson still thinks about it when running and making sudden moves. Now two days into his first taste of team drills at training camp, the Washington Redskins' 2017 offensive MVP is attempting to get over the mental hurdle of rehabbing from surgery and getting back to normal.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jay Gruden isn't handing the starting running back job to rookie Derrius Guice.
The Washington Redskins coach wants Guice — or someone else — to earn it.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden says defensive lineman Stacy McGee and cornerback Joshua Holsey will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
Gruden announced the injury statuses Wednesday during his annual camp-opening news conference ahead of the first on-field workouts Thursday.
New Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith will be available to fans for autographs and pictures at Redskins Draft Fest on Saturday, April 28 at FedEx Field, the team announced Monday.
Smith was acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a 2018 third-round pick and cornerback Kendall Fuller in a trade made official in March.
Redskins running back Chris Thompson said Monday he will get to run on the field for the first time since undergoing leg surgery in November.
Thompson broke his leg against the New Orleans Saints, ending his season. Before his injury, Thompson was the Redskins' most effective playmaker, leading the team in both rushing and receiving yards.
Washington will sign former Seattle Seahawks WR Paul Richardson to a five-year, $40 million deal including $20 million guaranteed when the new league year opens Wednesday afternoon, NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reports.
Redskins running back Chris Thompson said Wednesday that quarterback Kirk Cousins sent "mixed messages" about whether he wanted to stay with Washington for the long-term.
Appearing on The Team 980, Thompson said he expected Cousins to stay. But he acknowledged Cousins' next contract, which will likely make him the highest-paid player in NFL history, would have made it difficult to keep him without sacrificing other team needs.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — With their losing records and their shaky defenses and their injury-depleted rosters, the Washington Redskins and New York Giants are not exactly ready for prime time, let alone for a national audience tuning in on Thanksgiving night.
The teams are a combined 6-14, including 0-5 in the NFC East. Dynamic players such as New York wideout Odell Beckham Jr. and Washington running back Chris Thompson are done for the season.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Tight end Jordan Reed, defensive lineman Terrell McClain, center Chase Roullier and safety Montae Nicholson will miss the Washington Redskins' game against the New York Giants.
There might be other Redskins sidelined, too.
Coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday that seven or eight players will be game-time decisions Thursday night, indicating that left tackle Trent Williams is among that group.
This will be Reed's fourth consecutive game out with a hamstring injury.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have placed starting running back Rob Kelley and inside linebacker Will Compton on injured reserve.
The team announced several moves Tuesday, including signing free agent defensive lineman Caraun Reid and Philadelphia Eagles practice squad running back Byron Marshall.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With over a third of the Washington Redskins' offensive touchdowns, third-down back Chris Thompson is a must-start, fantasy football dream.
Thompson is enjoying a breakout season and is a major reason Washington (3-3) and staying competitive amid a lot of injuries. His performance is also masking a host of offensive woes.
ASHBURN Ideally, the Redskins want to get Chris Thompson 10 to 15 touches per game, coach Jay Gruden said Monday seven to eight carries and another seven to eight receptions.
Against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Thompson who has become the team's most explosive playmaker this year finished with a career-high 20 touches, 16 rushes and four receptions.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Chris Thompson is quickly becoming a matchup nightmare.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Convinced no one outside their locker room gave them a chance to beat the Oakland Raiders, the Washington Redskins put together the kind of complete performance that made them worthy of the prime-time spotlight.
Kirk Cousins threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns, Chris Thompson had 188 all-purpose yards and a score and the Redskins sacked Derek Carr four times, forced three turnovers and held the Raiders to 128 yards in a dominating 27-10 victory on Sunday night.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Tight end Jordan Reed, running back Rob Kelley and linebacker Mason Foster won't play for the Washington Redskins in their Sunday night game against the Oakland Raiders.
Reed has been limited at practice all week with a chest/rib injury, Kelley with a rib injury and Foster with a shoulder injury. Each player was listed as questionable after injuries suffered last week at the Los Angeles Rams.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Chris Thompson remembers in vivid detail the passes he dropped, the routes he didn't run well enough and the sacks he allowed.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even Kirk Cousins was OK with how much the Washington Redskins ran the ball in a 27-20 victory against their former offensive coordinator, Sean McVay, and the Los Angeles Rams.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have signed running back Chris Thompson to a contract extension.
The team announced the deal Tuesday but did not provide details. The extension comes five days before the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thompson is expected to continue his role as the third-down back and return kicks in Week 1.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — When the Washington Redskins went three-and-out on the first two drives of their third preseason game, players feared they'd get an earful.
"We didn't want to make coach Gruden more upset than he already was," running back Chris Thompson said.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Running back Chris Thompson has re-signed with the Washington Redskins.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When Carson Wentz had the Philadelphia Eagles 17 yards from victory in the final minute, it didn't matter the team was down to one running back, a fourth-string right tackle and third long snapper.
They didn't get it done and nobody was making excuses.
"We lost. That's what really matters," Wentz said. "We didn't finish at the end. We had a chance to finish the game and win it on offense and we didn't do that."
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chris Thompson kept running into the end zone on one of those rare times scoring a touchdown wasn't the optimal play.
Ryan Kerrigan made sure it didn't matter.
Thompson had a 25-yard TD run with 1:53 remaining, Kerrigan forced a turnover in the red zone and the Washington Redskins beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-22 on Sunday.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed will miss Sunday's game at the Arizona Cardinals with a sprained left shoulder.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden announced Friday that Reed would sit out. It'll be the third game missed this season by Reed, who leads the Redskins with 59 catches. He has 630 yards receiving and five TDs.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones was held out of practice Wednesday with a knee injury.
Coach Jay Gruden says Jones reported soreness while moving laterally and pain when cutting. It's unclear how the injury will affect Jones' availability for the Redskins' game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in London.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Missing their biggest offensive target and facing one of the NFL's top defenses, the Washington Redskins looked as in command as they've been all season.
Kirk Cousins threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns, the three-headed running attack of Matt Jones, Robert Kelley and Chris Thompson combined for 231 yards and a touchdown and the Redskins ran roughshod over the Philadelphia Eagles in a 27-20 victory on Sunday.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Running back Matt Jones is listed as questionable but expects to play for the Washington Redskins in their season opener Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jones is almost fully healed after separating his left shoulder Aug. 19 and is confident he'll be 100 percent by game time. He has been a full participant in practice but was considered questionable because the NFL removed the "probable" distinction beginning this season.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Matt Jones slipped on a yellow non-contact jersey at the Washington Redskins' Monday morning practice as a precaution for the starting running back's separated left shoulder, though he was not happy about wearing it.
Jones, the second-year pro expected to start for the Redskins this season, is adamant that he will be ready Monday night when Washington hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers in the season opener for both teams.
The dominoes couldn't have fallen any better to give undrafted rookie running back Robert Kelley an opportunity to show the Washington Redskins what he could do.
ASHBURN The pain in Matt Jones' left shoulder subsided greatly since he was injured in last Friday's games against the New York Jets, but the Washington Redskins' running back will miss the remainder of the preseason.
The expectation is that Jones, who sustained a second-degree sprain in his AC joint, will be ready for the Monday night season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 12.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones will miss the rest of the preseason with a left shoulder injury.
Coach Jay Gruden says Jones will be held out of the Redskins' final two preseason games after separating his shoulder Friday against the New York Jets. Gruden has "high hopes" Jones will be ready by the regular-season opener Sept. 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A day after getting a better look at film of the Washington Redskins' sloppy preseason debut in a 23-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, coach Jay Gruden said penalties and the team's running game will get more attention.
The Redskins were whistled for 14 penalties for 123 yards and ran the ball 24 times for just 79 yards in the loss. Their top three running backs, Matt Jones, Chris Thompson and Keith Marshall, had no yards on eight carries.
ATLANTA As the Washington Redskins prepared for their preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, there was excitement about finally facing a live opponent, and more importantly, the opportunity to evaluate the areas that are difficult to gauge in training camp practices.

Anyone interested in attending one or more of these seminars, please contact thomas.mountjoy@sosantr.uib.no for more information and assigned reading lists.
The idea behind these will be to develop the group’s comparative framework for the study of gender and Pentecostalism in Africa and Melanesia. These seminars will be based on specific readings from the gender/Pentecostalism field which the group can critically analyze and debate. One person will chair each seminar, briefly providing an overview of the topic and summary of the readings, followed by discussion. All interested members of staff are welcome to attend.
The first 20 years of the European Society for Oceanists was held in Bergen over 4 intensive and exciting days. The GenPent project welcomed its new postdoctoral scholars, Ruy and Michelle, to Bergen for the first time and used the opportunity to discuss the future plans for the project. Annelin chaired a successful session entitled “The Gendered Power of the Church in Melanesia” and the project team participated in other sessions, with many prominent scholars present to share in ideas and make for a stimulating and productive week.
Special mention must go to the Bergen Pacific Studies research group who were instrumental in organizing such a rich event, described by all as “the most successful ESfO to date”.
Welcome to the new GenPent website! We hope this platform will provide both researchers and other interested parties the opportunity to share and develop information, ideas and understandings related to the comparative analysis of gender and Pentecostal Christianity in Africa and Melanesia. The project team welcomes any comment you may have. This site is in its early stage and will continue to develop.

LET THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BEGIN!
If you are female, this is your first question. Well, it's probably your first question about everything, but especially here. But even if you are male, you might wonder.
Women: "Is it inappropriate to wear black?" Um, no. In some circles you might even wonder if it's mandatory. Although color is most definitely making a comeback, you can't go wrong with basic black.
Not OK is sleeveless clothing, short clothes (you will see most guests covering the knee), and low cut tops (most guests will have collarbones covered). There is a garment you will want to know about. It's called a "shell." It's basically a layering top, but dressy, with a crew neck top and long sleeves, that you can pretty much layer under almost anything you already have in your closet. Lots and lots of your fellow females will be garbed in this wonder invention.
Guys: your basic black dress suit is perfect. Most Orthodox weddings aren't the tux type. A nice dress tie and you're good. But y'all have an additional complication: the yarmulke. You should wear a yarmulke to an Orthodox wedding. In theory you can wear any old kind you like, but if you're the type that wants to fit in, you should leave the satin one at home and find out what kind of yarmulke the crowd wears. Because it's kind of a statement.
2. WILL THE BRIDE KISS THE GROOM?
Yes, this is a frequently asked question. The answer is yes, but in private. Judaism teaches that our romantic affections ought be reserved for private spaces. Take it or leave it, but you will not see the kiss. Sorry. Hang out at the airport and you will see lots.
3. TO WHAT DEGREE WILL MEN AND WOMEN BE SEPARATE?
Some Orthodox weddings will have completely separate seating. Some with a mechitza (this may be more for the dancing than for the seating, depending on the crowd). Some will have mixed seating, with certain tables "men-only" and some "women-only." Others will have mixed seating entirely.
All Orthodox chuppahs that I have personally attended are seated separately.
Dancing will always be separate, as it is a feature of Jewish law not to have mixed dancing. However, this can range from with a mechitza to simply separate circles with no mechitza.
4. I'M NOT INTO DANCING. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Firstly, no one *has* to dance. It's a mitzvah to make the bride and groom happy, which is supposed to be the goal of any wedding attendee: to achieve this mitzvah. To that end, some weddings have a circus-like quality to them, with guests juggling, singing special songs, and bringing in all sorts of cute "shtick" - paraphernalia, props, and inside jokes to make the bride and groom laugh. You might also see gymnastic feats, fire-eaters, jump-ropers, or who-knows-what else. It's really fun.
The dancing itself is your typical hora-style circle dancing with a bit of a twist. The bride/groom/parents usually hover at the center, pulling in close friends and family to whirl around with.
5. WHAT ON EARTH DOES THIS INVITATION MEAN AND WHEN SHOULD I ACTUALLY SHOW UP?
The invitation lists two start times: one for the "kabbalas panim" - when the bride and groom sit, throne-like, and the guests come forward to wish mazel tov. The second time is for the chuppah.
There will be a long break between the chuppah and dancing. This is because the bride and groom adjourn to their private room (see #2) and afterwards take pictures together - this is because many abide by a custom that bride and groom don't see each other for a week prior to the wedding and thus have not been together to take pictures until after the chuppah. The guests will begin dinner until the bride and groom enter the hall in an explosion of music and dancing.
If your kids are not listed on the invitation, but are close to either the bride or groom, it is acceptable to bring them for the kabbalas panim and chuppah only. Then they can go home before dinner.
7. WHY ARE THEY PLAYING THE "ROCKY" THEME SONG AT AN ORTHODOX WEDDING IN CHICAGO?
8. WHAT WILL THE CHUPPAH BE LIKE?
Very solemn. Hopefully. It's considered an incredibly holy time. Many guests rise when the bride and groom are walked down, in respect of their role as king and queen for the evening. The sources teach that the divine presence comes down at this moment, and that the gates of heaven open for prayer. The souls of loved ones are believed to be present. You might see guests praying. The bride and groom are often praying, sometimes tearfully, as it's a personal Yom Kippur for them. It's about a 20 minute service, mostly in Hebrew. The Aramaic ketubah is read aloud.
9. WHAT'S AN APPROPRIATE GIFT?
I have no idea why, but people don't bring their gifts to the Orthodox weddings I've been to. They either drop them off in advance or after the fact.
While some brides register, many don't, which leaves you on your own. Checks are always considered appropriate, often in denominations of "chai" - $18. If the couple is moving to Israel, this is your best bet, so they don't have to shlep anything. Otherwise, household goods, cookbooks, crystal, or Judaica such as kiddush cups. I don't recommend mezuzah covers, although it seems so intuitive, because most of them are too small to contain a kosher scroll.
Well, now you're all prepared. Remember that you are doing a mitzvah by attending and don't forget to have fun. Find a nice Orthodox person and ask all your questions. He or she will most likely be glad to do a little hand-holding!
Mazel tov! What are your experiences with other Chicago Orthodox weddings?

The creepy giant cat head was created by Housetu Sato, a teacher at the Japan School of Wool Art (yup that's a thing) and will be on display at an art exhibit at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from April 18-23 of 2015. Currently there are no plans to manufacture the giant cat head mask to sell to the public, but if someone did, expect to become very rich very quickly, because you know... the internet... cats... giant things... When these ingredients come together they make you rich, and in the end, the whole world wins.

I have been craving these for years, and I can't find a recipe.
I've called Frito-Lay many times, and talked to a few of their delivery staffers about their lack of Ketchup Doritos, and the response was not good. The chance of them ever coming back is very bad.
So I turn to my last hope: Making them myself! Do you have a recipe for them? Even if it isn't the actual recipe, if it's your own proprietary blend I'm willing to give it a shot.
I don't have a recipe, but if you had say a dehydrator, ketchup, and whatsit--dextrose?--that helps dry things resist clumping, you could make your own. I believe Ferran Adria carries a powder product, on his website albertyferranadria.com.
Add the powder to your own tortilla chips that you've just fried, and should work.
Alternatively, multiplex movie theatres often have several different shakers of flavourings--cheese, sour cream/onion, that sort of thing. Perhaps Costco would carry something similar.
Canada sells ketchup chips all the time. You could buy some there if you're close to the border. Otherwise you could buy ketchup powder and sprinkle those on regular potato chips, or buy some at ebay/amazon.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged restaurant-mimicry tortilla chips ketchup or ask your own question.
What is it about boring, normal ketchup that makes it “fancy”?

Corvara (Alta Badia) belong to Dolomiti Superski.
What do you think about Corvara (Alta Badia) ?
I was here for week 3. The weather was mixed but mostly sun. The temperature between -5 C to - 12 C. Skiing between about 2600 meters down to about 1460 meters. Västistat in Italian autostrada show. The skiing takes place around the mountain Sella Gruppo in a trip called Sella Ronda. The orange ride goes clockwise and takes about 3.5 hours while the engine's trip which is green takes about 5 hours. The difference is to take longer to ride a lift. The similarity is that you have to go and carry the ski in Arabba and Wolkenstein a short distance. The surroundings are very beautiful mountains that resemble the rocky mountains. Especially northwest there they have really big rock blocks in a valley. The system is also connected to La Villa. Where there is a black World Cup team. The highest point you can go with the gondola is to Passo Pordoi which is 2950 meters. From there it's downhill skiing down that requires you to be used to. The most challenging off-road racing runs from Passo Pordoi with almost an hour's walk to Val Mezdi. Then a short but very steep stretch. It requires good weather and a lot of snow. Going without a mountain guide is associated with life danger. A trip to the mountain of Marmolada near Punta Rocca at 3250 meters is to look like an excursion and take a lot of time in an under-sized lift system. A World War II museum can be found here. A day trip to Cortina is to be recommended. Driving time is almost an hour. When I was here, the ladies practiced for the next day's Super-G competition in the world cup in the Tofane mountain slope. Ski Cards Ski Dolomite applies here and in a very large area and is very affordable. Must be one of the largest in the Alps, but there are no buses between the resorts so it's time to fit. I myself trained offpiste and had low-level and post-secondary education. Corvara is a place of German punctuality and Italian well-being and a very well-functioning ski bus with frequent times. A lot of Germans and Italians and some others from the continent. No Scandinavians. The visitors are middle aged and have a lot of a little more expensive hotel available. Corvara is located along a single street but is larger than, for example, Arabba. The resort also has a closed language, which is Europe's most official language. The best après ski resort is La Perala in Corvara and an outdoor mountain in the east of Corvara.

DeSantis still no position on Healthcare with 3 weeks to go.
You would think the candidates platforms would have been well developed long before the primaries were over. Ron DeSantis still can't seem to get his done. Another article about DeSantis avoiding having to answer for his ideas by not letting anyone know if he has any.
Re: DeSantis still no position on Healthcare with 3 weeks to go.
I mean the people he works for!
You strip health insurance from our politicians and you'd see a fix in no time....if we all had the same plan (or NO plan).
I 10, there's always Texas!
Universal health care is not socialism any more than libraries, public schools, football stadiums, the military, roads, etc are 'socialism'.
Healthcare is in need of major reform in the US. The fact that medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the wealthiest nation on earth is crazy. Its a hard question with no easy answers.
Right now the GOP does not have a solution to make things better for the majority of Americans. They railed against the ACA for years and then accomplished nothing meaningful when handed the keys to all three branches of government. If they have a viable plan, where is it?
And yet, people in large numbers do nothing about things they can largely control to lower risks and potential costs to themselves( ignore nutrition,exercise, and financial planning) and are generally either apathetic or ignorant when it comes to elections and how our government actual functions.
However, Americans are great at complaining,excuses and blaming others. So we have that going for us.
"a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."
How would the dense know what the hell that means?
Better idea: Google "You have two cows".
Its for the dense because the refusal to understand the difference between economic and political theories generally leads to stupid statements accusing nationalized healthcare as socialism.
To me Republicans and Democrats are both liberals in the traditional economic sense of supporting market based economies and democracy in the political sense.
I take it socialists don't have a sense of humor.
Of course, they don't have much of anything, so why would they? I'm here all week.
But for the humorless: I doubt a dense person would be able to grasp the meaning of the description you posted. Because...they are dense. Get it?
You're doing a great job of complaining, blaming, and making excuses for the current situation yourself . Planning has nothing to do with getting a dire illness when young, unemployed etc.
From a study on Washington State cancer survivors: We found that cancer patients were 2.65 times more likely to go bankrupt than people without cancer. Younger cancer patients had 2–5 times higher rates of bankruptcy than cancer patients age sixty-five or older, which indicates that Medicare and Social Security may mitigate bankruptcy risk for the older group.
Here's more data from a 2016 NIH study, 3% of cancer survivors will file for bankruptcy, which is over 3X the nationwide average of <1%.
"Approximately one-third of the survivors had gone into debt, and 3 percent had filed for bankruptcy ... Cancer survivors who were younger, had lower incomes, and had public health insurance were more likely to go into debt or file for bankruptcy, compared to those who were older, had higher incomes, and had private insurance, respectively."

The Children’s Service provides childcare for children aged from six weeks to five years. The crèche facility is regulated by the Care Inspectorate (Social Care & Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS)). It is registered to accommodate up to 24 children, however, the numbers at any time are dictated by the age of the children attending, for example, younger children need a higher ratio of staff.
The crèche is used for caring for children whilst they are involved in the adult activity programme in the Centre.
Children’s workers will also ensure that children are referred on to other agencies where there are identified additional needs, for example, sensory impairment, speech or language problems, etc.
As part of the children’s programme, there are opportunities for parents to be involved with the activities, for example, the Baby Cafe which provides an opportunity for new mothers and babies to participate in art, messy play and cooking sessions. This is linked with the provision of advice from the allocated midwife/health visitor on feed preparation and healthy snacks. Another example is also Toddler Time where parents can join their children in the play room and socialise with other parents and is an opportunity to promote the importance of play inside and outside the home.
There is provision within the children’s service, although limited, for respite care to be provided at times where there are exceptional pressures or crisis within the family.

Second Life Fashion Addict: Mod and Funky!
I am so in love with the AVEDA Institute line of Hair Styles from ETD, I think I own them all in at least one colour if not more. This crop is so chic! The minute I spotted this Hip Scarf from Cream Shop, I simply had to have it, and at the time had no idea how to wear it. I decided to let it do the talking, pairing it with understated cords and this great cropped jacket from Thimbles. I am loving Thimbles for their creative designs and their incredibly inexpensive pricing. You can get a lot for just a few lindens. This jacket comes with two collar options, a rolled neck and a turtleneck version. Love options like that so you can really personalize your look.

Key stage two playground markings in East Renfrewshire G78 2 are very common because they allow children to be active on specialist fitness trail designs, be educational on numbered hopscotches and generally improve their learning during playtime, plus improve their social skills and team building within a community group. KS2 are pupils aged between 7 and up to 11 years old which is also known as Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6. These classes are called junior schools, although in some cases part of this stage may fall in a middle school or in a primary school. Sometimes sports premium teachers http://playgroundgames.org.uk/training/sport-premium-support-pe-teacher/east-renfrewshire/ will go into schools to teach children how to make the best use of their outdoor space and equipment they have.
The traditional key-stage two play area games, installed with thermoplastic graphics are normally snakes and ladders, hopscotches and clocks. The designs can be both fun and educational, which is why they are very important for schoolsin East Renfrewshire G78 2 to have. The outdoor markings can even improve Ofsted reports, this is because Ofsted believe that learning outside is beneficial for children, as it can increase the amount of interest that the children have and it is a different type of learning environment which some pupils will prefer.
The multi activity KS2 play-area markings that we have previously installed, other than the traditional games which we have spoken about, have included compasses, friendship stops and mood bubbles. Recreational markings such as the friendship stops can bring the pupils in the community together and it can make a certain part of the play area a quieter place and for pupils to be included into groups and games. As well as the tarmac designs being educational, recreational and also bringing the community together, they can also improve the fitness and health of the students. This is because the fitness tracks which we apply to the surfaces are normally brightly coloured and fun for the kids. This can make PE an enjoyable activity and something which the pupils want to take part in and look forward to; the designs can be unique and customised to whatever appearance and purpose you want. Having playground graphics installed can quickly restore your facility’s play area surface and make it look like a refurbished area for your school and the children who attend there. We are specialist playground markings installers http://playgroundgames.org.uk/east-renfrewshire/ in East Renfrewshire G78 2 and have completed many projects with a variety of designs.
Please let us know if you’re interested in having Key-Stage Two play area games markings applied to your outdoor playground surface and we’d be happy to offer you some more details on the design, specification and costs of installation. Send us over your details using our contact form and one of our helpful team members will get back to you with some advice on key stage two playground markings in East Renfrewshire G78 2 and a quote.

Eric Hager came to the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) two years ago from a large retail industry leader. He brought a fresh set of eyes and a lot of energy to the changing environment at UNO.
Like many other college campuses, UNO was facing declining course materials revenue year over year. In less than two years, Eric and his talented team were able to turn that around; Eric’s motto, get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Q: You told your staff to “get comfortable with the uncomfortable”. What does that mean to you?
Eric: Coming into this role, I quickly realized it would be important to embrace the campus perception of our store. Whether the perception is good or bad, we needed to understand where to start. We also took the time to source the very best ideas in and out of our industry. We were not afraid to step outside of our comfort zone and execute on those new ideas.
Q: Your store has been able to move from declining course materials revenue to a financial increase; how did you get back the business you lost?
EH: We embraced the internet and used data drives our decisions. We know that 6 out of 10 customers who shop on our website are new customers. Of the existing customers who came back, we attribute our success to competitive delivery (next day pickup) and price improvements.
Q: One strategy you mentioned was in-store pickup within 24 hours. How are you able to deliver on this promise?
EH: Work back from a goal – for us it was ‘deliver next day during rush season… beat Amazon!’ Create a strategic plan with labor and infrastructure support needed. We employ student workers around the clock. We placed an advertisement for the overnight shift and had 70 applications right away. We also make adjustments in our plan for increase in semester vs. semester trends.
Q: You also mentioned embrace the internet. What did you mean by that?
EH: We knew the experience in our brick and mortar store needed to match our online presence. In order to do this, we use PrismWeb from Nebraska Book Company to give us a state-of-the-art mobile optimized site. We also use digital marketing to drive traffic to our site.
Q: What do you think is most important to students as it relates to campus retail?
EH: We start with the most important assumption; we do not know the answer to that question. We use data to drive our decisions and we take the time to find out what is most important to our students. We provide platforms for them to give us feedback, and we take the time to listen.
We use information from student government, faculty senate, surveys and conversations. Through the research process, we found out that students care about having the book on their shelves the first day books are offered and multiple delivery methods that are free was necessary.
Q: How do you keep retail experiences and spending habits within the “campus bubble”?
EH: We asked ourselves a very simple question: Where is the lowest lying fruit? There were departments currently spending money on a similar products and experiences we offer. The first course of action was to go talk to those departments! Many times, we were less expensive and more qualified to pull off their requests. We support weekly orders from the Athletic Department (for ‘spirit” and other ‘like’ items), Student Involvement, Recruiting, Wellness, and other departments. It is important to us to offer better prices and better service.
