The Del Mar Certified Farmers Market has been organized to benefit the growers and consumers. It allows growers to sell directly to the public and gives consumers an opportunity to buy fresh quality produce.
All rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of this certified farmers market shall be implemented and enforced in a fair and equitable manner.
1. All sellers of certifiable produce must be certified by the county in which the goods are grown. The certificate issued under the authority of Title 3, Chapter 3, Article 6.5 of the California Administrative Code. It authorizes the certified producer to sell produce directly to consumers. Items that can be sold in the designated Certified Farmers’ Market are any agricultural product certified by the California Department of Food and Agriculture or the Federal Department of Agriculture.
2. The producer is defined as a person or separate entity that produces agricultural products by practice of the agricultural arts upon land which the person or separate entity controls. In addition, a family member or salaried employee can sell for a producer.
3. Anybody found to be in non-compliance with the Department of Food and Agriculture and incurring any fine by them will be responsible for paying the fine, and will be suspended from the market one day for the second occurrence and permanently removed for the third.

Any certified producer may sell the items of one or two other certified producers if the selling producer carries and displays at the market the certificates of the other grower(s) and they have to be cross-referred. The certified producer’s product must exceed by weight, volume, and price the other producer’s goods. In addition, all items sold need to be listed in the certificate.

It is the responsibility of the producer or his/her representative to fill in the load list accurately and completely with the date, the name of the business or person listed on the certificate, total sales, and all applicable fees. In addition, all certified growers need to identify as listed on the certified producer’s certificate each item with the quantity sold on the load list. Failure to do so will result in a one-day suspension on the first offense, two days for the second and removal from participation on the third offense.

14. All items to be sold by produce vendors must be placed at least 6 inches off the ground.
15. Sellers may lose the privilege of selling at the market for unsafe vehicles, tables, signs, racks, and other display aids. All items must be secured, and must not obstruct traffic flow, and care must be taken when setting up and breaking down so that the safety of shoppers and other market participants are not jeopardized.
16. All produce vendors must have a banner/signage representing the name of the farm and the county where the produce is grown. The sign must say “We Grow What We Sell” and be displayed during market hours.
17. Organic products may be advertised as such only if they have been certified by the appropriate regulatory agency and must also be listed on the certificate.
18. Vendors must maintain the space assigned them in a clean and sanitary condition including protecting the pavement with a tarp from drips from any highly staining items, such as oil, cooked foods, berries, etc. All vendors must have a trash receptacle available for the customers.

Groaning, I extricate myself from my comfortable couch and daydreaming. Everyone here is over-excited: tomorrow is Diwali, and nothing is ready!
This is the house covered with a light jacket, it radiates! I can not suppress a smile while my sister Nandini (“the one who gives joy”) jumps for joy, shouting and began to run in all directions.
“Diwali is one of the biggest festivals, celebrated with great enthusiasm all over India. This year, we celebrate the 23 October. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil. According to popular legend (at this point, dad pauses and take a mysterious tone) when Lord Rama returned from his 14 years of exil after defeating Raavana, the people of Ayodhya lighted candles and diya** to celebrate his return to the kingdom.
However, for child and – also for grown-up like me – this is before all the opportunity to skip school. Indeed, Diwali is a holiday not only in India but also in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Guyana, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore as well as Myanmar, Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad & Tobago. We also enjoy a lot to gorging with candies and treats and receive gifts from our aunts and uncles that we see in this special occasion.
The speciality of this festival is is the peda, made from condensed milk, sugar, cardamom and pistachio. The most famous (and popular!) are those of Agra. There are many variations of this dish and other treats that Indian eaten throughout the festival.

Libre Snowboard - Wide by Yes.
A jack of all trades, Yes' Wide Libre Snowboard is an excellent deck for the big-footed resort rider who likes doing a little bit of everything and is tired of dragging toe on narrow-waisted planks. The board features a classic CamRock profile that has camber underfoot for power, pop and stability, and rocker in the tip and tail for increased flotation in the pow and less edge snaggability on trail. A directional twin at heart, the Libre has a slightly setback stance and a slightly lower (10-12%) volume in the tail, so it'll float reasonably well in the pow as long as your anchoring your back foot surf-style. Internally, the deck utilizes a full poplar wood core that brings a predictable combination of durability and a lightweight feel. The extruded base allows for easy P-tex repairs and, when waxed properly, holds it own on cat-tracks and during powder frenzies. Plus, the Libre's biax glass helps provide a middle-of-the-road flex that is super versatile for pressing park features, doing the powder dance, sending side-hits, and everything you're likely to do in between.

Organic produce and other organic products are grown without the use of chemicals, artificial fertilizers, genetically modified animals, sewage, or pesticides. Poultry and eggs meat and dairy products are produced from animals that do not take antibiotics or growth hormones. Before a farm can be labeled as organic, a government approved certifier comes in to inspect the farm to be sure that the farmer is growing according to the rules necessary for USDA organic standards.
The definition of locally grown differs in opinion. While some say it is a 100-mile radius, others go beyond to a 250-mile radius. Another way to think about it is seasonal produce or stock from small farms, rather than large businesses that produce for supermarkets in bulk.
It is important to note that there are many farms that do not use pesticides, but they are not able to advertise themselves as organic because they have not gone through the inspection process. It is a long process to get certified. If organic food is important to you and you purchase local, simply ask your local farmer what their methods are for growing their produce and livestock. You may be surprised to learn that they safely grow their products as you would consider to be organic.
When you purchase your produce locally, you get the most nutritional value out of that produce. The faster you eat it from the time it is picked, the better the nutritional value. If you are not eating local, nutrients from your fruits and vegetables are depleting as they are being transported. 1500-miles or possibly even a week old is how you will find it at your grocery store.
Variety: Most of the best tasting fruits and vegetables cannot handle the shipping and handling process because they are so tender.
Assurance Of Farm Practices: When produce is coming from out of the country, we have no assurance as to how the produce was grown or what chemicals were used in the growth process. This rings true for the meat and poultry and dairy products as well. When buying from local farmers you can question their practices or if they are already insured by the government you can rest assured that they are organic if they are deemed to be so by the US government.
Local farmer support: It is always nice to support local businesses and local farmers. Your purchases from the local farmers assures that they stay in business and your community continues to grow.
Support the local economy: By spending your money in the community and keeping the money within, the local economy will encourage growth.
Direct environmental effects: Buying local reduces the gas that it would take to bring the produce to your part of the world. You are saving the environment from the pollution of the gas, the use of polluted soil, and polluting the groundwater.
There is growing concern among the scientific community that pesticides and other chemicals have long lasting effects on people. People are more susceptible to the effects of the pesticides in fetal development and in childhood. There has not been enough research done to determine the full impact of pesticides in foods, but it is still recommended to avoid pesticides whenever possible.
Does Washing & Peeling Help? Those precautions will help, but you won’t be able to completely eliminate the pesticide or other chemicals. Then you are also eliminating valuable nutrients when you remove the peel to avoid the pesticides. If you do not eat organic, your best option is to vary your diet, and wash all produce before eating.
When Should You Buy Organic?
Whenever possible. When that isn’t an option, try to go with the lowest contaminated pesticide fruits and vegetables by using the Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
What Is Produce Pesticide Load?
What Produce Are Top Of Toxic Load List?
The most contaminated fruits were found to be peaches and apples. A staggering 97% of the peaches and 92% of the apples tested positive for pesticides. An astounding 87% of peaches and 79% of apples had two or more pesticides on them. The remaining fruits and vegetables on the most contaminated list include the following: celery, cherries, strawberries, lettuce, potatoes, sweet bell peppers, nectarines, spinach, imported grapes, and pears.
On the Constantly Clean list were onions, avocados, and sweet cord. Short list! For these 3 foods, over 90% of the fruits sampled had no pesticide residue detectable. Other fruits and veggies on the list include the following: mango, asparagus, pineapples, bananas, kiwi, broccoli, sweet peas, cabbage, and papaya.

Lease extensions can add to the value of your property, as well as making it easier to mortgage and sell. As the owner of the flat, you are the property’s leaseholder. The owner of the entire block is the freeholder.
You own your property for the entire length of the lease and then it reverts to the freeholder’s possession. This actually means that the freeholder will become the legal owner when the lease term expires.
If a flat’s lease has over 80 years on it, it will attract a larger pool of buyers. This is because most mortgage lenders require you to have a long term left on the lease.
Our property team specialises in lease extensions and can assist you. This is a complicated area of law and you should only instruct an expert to act for you.

In recent years fresh terror has arisen in the Middle East, as one of the most brutal organisations on the planet occupies vast areas in both Iraq and Syria. During 2014, recordings showing the decapitations of western journalists and reports highlighting the brutal treatment of local enemies began to stir tensions in the west. Now, as a great chunk of northern Syria and Iraq has fallen under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the organisation, such tensions are higher than ever.
Islamic State (IS), also known as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, (ISIS), Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or Islamic Caliphate, formed in 1999, and shares its roots with the infamous al-Qaeda. Since then, the organisation has committed many despicable acts, both to locals and to foreigners. The decapitation of western journalists is one example, along with the fact that, according to the Moscow Times, the group has openly declared war on the United States and, in a video depicting a member sat in a military aircraft, threatened Russian president Vladimir Putin. The United States and Russia have had a bitter relationship for over half a century, and even after the end of the Cold War diplomatic relations are precarious, especially with the current crisis in the Ukraine. Islamic State, however, has taken the side of neither: they’ve even gone as far as to threaten both.
What does this say about the organisation’s politics? Well, we can determine one thing: the fact that they’ll always take their own side highlights both the incompatibility of their ideology with the political systems of the world’s powers, and for that matter, the rest of the world. No national military will fight alongside their armies, and yet Islamic State continues to commit despicable acts independent of any other regime.
Because of the inhumane brutality employed by the organisation, their lack of any real justification for their actions, and their continuing hostility towards the rest of the world, this is an issue on which I feel the different powers of the world must put aside their differences to combat. Left and right, east or west, all states can share a common viewpoint on the organisation, and thus should all work to secure the safety of innocent civilians in Iraq, Syria, and the bordering states, alongside that of whoever Islamic State may threaten in their own countries.
I’ve made my point clear, but I’ll conclude the entry by addressing the leftists specifically: I feel that it’s essential to understand Islamic State in order to develop a rational answer as to how one should approach the issue, and so it must be made clear that the organisation is certainly not a socialist one, nor one fighting merely for justice or populism. This would seem obvious, but I imagine it would be easy for one to fall into the trap of believing that I.S. militants, existing in an area with a history of atrocities committed by multiple powers in the world (take the recent war in Iraq, or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan for examples), and one which exists within borders drawn up by the western world, are actually combatting imperialism.
It is definitely true that the area is subject to ongoing foreign mistreatment, including acts that could be considered disgraceful, and the fact remains that Islamic State exists as a militant organisation which opposes those who have treated the citizens of the region in such a way. This alone, however, does not mean that they fight to prevent these acts from being committed. It is essential to remember that amongst the beheadings of journalists, they have terrorised the local population in a similar way. To give an example, the BBC News’s website states that an activist claims they have abducted up to 285 Christians who were seized in the Hassakeh province in Syria, with reports initially placing the number at 90. The website also states that ‘some local 1,000 Assyrian families are believed to have fled their homes in the wake of the abductions.’ Even if other religions are taken out of the picture, their own religion and thus their central ideology (surely a community among which they would find solidarity) condemns Islamic State, showing that they have no true ideological ground to occupy, and certainly no justification for their actions.
This is the reason why this debate is not a political one; there is only a moral and an immoral side. It is an issue in which all sensible individuals, no matter where they stand on the majority of political issues, should chose the moral decision. Thus, discussing the question of Islamic State militarism, communists should come to the same conclusion as their capitalist opponents. It by no means requires an alliance with or respect for the capitalist world, rather the simple recogniton that this is an issue which everyone, from both political extremes, should be able to agree on. Military intervention, on behalf of all those Islamic State threatens, should seem the obvious conclusion.

Your property will need to meet the following government regulations.
The structure and exterior of the dwelling.
The installations for the supply of water, gas, electricity and sanitation.
The installations for the supply of space heating and water heating.
The communal areas and installations associated with the dwelling.
The Housing Act 2004 states that any residential premises should provide a safe and healthy environment for any potential occupier or visitor.
Under our Property Management Service, where we receive correspondence or a notice from the Local Authority relating to works required to the property, we will contact you in the first instance to discuss how these repairs will be carried out.
These regulations make it mandatory that gas appliances must be maintained in a safe condition at all times.
An annual safety check must be carried out by a tradesperson registered with Gas Safe Register.
An annual safety check of each gas appliance/flue/ pipework must be carried out.
The legislation also applies to portable appliances such as LPG (Calor gas) heaters but not those appliances that are owned by the tenant.
Once a check has been completed the engineer will issue a certificate to the landlord.
Gas safety certificates must be kept for two years and a copy must also be provided to the tenant within 28 days of the check being carried out.
A valid gas safety certificate must be in place at the start of the tenancy and the tenant must be given sight of the valid certificate. Failure to comply with this legislation is a criminal offence.
Visit gassaferegister.co.uk or phone 0800 408 5500. Should your property require a gas safety certificate, we can arrange this on your behalf.
These regulations apply to any portable electrical appliances (such as TVs, fridges, freezers, toasters, microwaves and lamps) which are provided as part of the tenancy.
They should be safe to use and in proper working order. It is a criminal offence to supply unsafe electrical equipment with rented accommodation. As a minimum, appliances should be visually inspected for any faults or damage. Whilst it is not a legal requirement, we require an electrical safety certificate covering all wiring and portable appliances within the property.
Should you require an electrical safety certificate, we can arrange this on your behalf.
The Health and Safety Executive guidance state the requirement that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition.
The responsibility of safe appliances lies with the person who is the duty holder; this could be the landlord or manager of a premises.
Any portable appliance in the accommodation, from a kettle, to a microwave to even a vacuum cleaner, should have periodic portable appliance testing, especially via a qualified and certified PAT Testing engineer.
A PAT Testing engineer will know exactly what to look for and where to look for it, from plugs and outlets to the casings around any portable appliances.
From 1 October 2008, landlords are legally required to show all prospective tenants the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) relating to their property. Noncompliance of this regulation could result in a £200 fine. An appropriate qualified assessor must complete this certificate. Should your property require an EPC, we can arrange this on your behalf.
Furniture to pass a cigarette resistance test.
Cover fabric, whether for use in permanent or loose covers, to pass a match resistance test.
Filling materials for all furniture to pass ignitability tests as specified in the regulation.
Beds, headboards, mattresses, sofa beds and futons.
Garden furniture that is suitable for use in a dwelling.
Scatter cushions, seat pads and pillows.
Loose and stretch covers for furniture.
All new furniture (except for mattresses, bed bases, loose and stretch covers) manufactured since 1988 has been required to carry a permanent label providing information about its fire retarding properties.
The landlord must ensure furniture complies with the above legislation before the tenant occupies the property. Any furniture failing to comply must be removed by the landlord and stored at the landlord’s expense.
The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 is intended to come into effect from 1 October 2015. This law requires private landlords to install smoke alarms on every floor of their property, and test them at the start of every tenancy.
Note that, as presently for alarms fitted, it is intended that the tenant is responsible for testing the detectors regularly thereafter. Landlords would also need to install a carbon monoxide alarm in any rooms where a solid fuel heating system or gas appliance is installed.
This Act affects the way in which monies are collected by HM Revenue and Customs for non-resident landlords.
A non-resident landlord will be able to apply directly or through his/her UK accountant the tax from the rental income. If granted and confirmed by HM Revenue and Customs this will enable the agent to release the rent gross without making a tax retention. Joint owners must each apply to HM Revenue and Customs.
If the landlord is not granted self-assessment, the agent will have to pay to HM Revenue and Customs on a quarterly basis the appropriate income tax percentage of the net rentals. The calculation for tax paid by the agent will not include mortgage interest, depreciation or other tax deductible items. Any overpayment of tax will then need to be reclaimed at the end of each tax year by the landlord submitting a statement of accounts to HM Revenue and Customs directly.
The tenancy deposit legislation applies to all deposits accepted for assured shorthold tenancies post 6 April 2007.
Landlords (or their agents) must protect the deposit within 30 days and give the prescribed information to the tenant as to where the deposit is protected.
Financial penalties (no more than three times the deposit sum) can be awarded against the landlord. Any Section 21 notice served by the landlord before the deposit has been protected and/or the prescribed information served, will be invalid. Any properties taken on via Oak Housing LTD are exempt from the above.
The Protection from Eviction Act 1977 makes it a criminal offence for any person to unlawfully deprive a tenant of their occupation of the premises. This means that, unless the tenant agrees to vacate the property, the only legal way a landlord can evict a tenant is by obtaining a court order. It is also a criminal offence under this Act to harass a tenant, or any of their friends or visitors who have gained lawful access to the property. Harassment is defined as acts likely to interfere with the peace and comfort of the tenant or the persistent withdrawal of essential services.
You must advise your bank or building society that you will be letting the property.
Written permission is usually required. Some lenders will charge an administration fee for issuing a consent letter. There may also be a variation in interest rate levels of the mortgage. If the property is leasehold, the head lease will specify whether or not you should gain permission from the freeholder or the freeholder’s managing agent. The freeholder or his agent will normally charge a fee for issuing a letter of consent and in some cases special conditions may be imposed.
Buildings insurance covers the risk of damage to the structure and permanent fixtures and fittings of a building. If the property is leasehold, then the freeholder will normally arrange the buildings insurance and re-charge the cost.
There are specific insurance policies aimed at landlords that cover liabilities to the tenant where a property has been made uninhabitable as a result of an insurable risk as well as covering liability should a tenant be injured as a result of an accident in the property. We require that you have buildings insurance and provide details of such when requested. Tenants are usually responsible for providing their own contents insurance to cover their personal belongings.
We will respond to emails within two working days.
We will return all calls within two working day.
Should you need to contact us outside normal office hours, we offer an emergency contact service, details of which will be provided to you.
Our full management service will provide a 24-hour reporting service.
We offer a monthly rental collection, pursue non-payment of rent and provide advice on rent arrears.
For peace of mind we can protect the deposit on behalf of landlords.

When it comes to packing your suitcase in preparation for that next big travel adventure, there are several ‘must have’ items that spring to mind.
Few would leave home without a toothbrush, a change of underwear or those comfy walking shoes, but for Queen Elizabeth II there is another essential item that gets thrown in the royal luggage.
It seems that one of the most well-travelled monarchs in history never leaves home without a suitable supply of Earl Grey tea.
According to the MailOnline, the blend is created “especially for her by Twinings”, and Her Majesty never adds milk or sugar to the drink – she likes it exactly as it is.
In addition to her favourite tea, the Queen has been said to never travel without a special Chocolate Biscuit Cake, which her former personal chef, Darn McGrady, says “is the only cake [she] goes back again and again and again everyday until it’s all gone”.
With the extensive travel the Queen has done in her 65-year reign – she has been to more than 130 countries, and has made at least 20 visits to Australia – that is sure to be quite of lot of tea and cake consumed.

Here's a memory trick: the Denominator is the bottom, or Down number in a fraction -- and both Denominator and Down start with the letter D.
No reduction is possible, so we have found the answer!
How do we do that? Simple! Remember, if you multiply the top and bottom of a fraction by the same number, it doesn't affect the value of the fraction.
Example 2: If we have the fraction 2/3, we could multiply top and bottom by 5, and not change its value: (5/5) x (2/3) = 10/15. Then if we reduce 10/15, we still get the original number, 2/3.
Why does this work? Because any number divided by itself equals one. 2/2 = 1, 5/5 = 1, etc. And any number multiplied by 1 equals itself! The point is, you don't change the value of a fraction if you multiply its top and bottom numbers by the same number!
You can only subtract fractions which have the same denominator, so you must first change one or both of the fractions to end up with two fractions having a common denominator. The easiest way to do this, is to simply select the opposite fraction's denominator to use as a top and bottom multiplier.
These two fractions (8/12 and 3/12) have common denominators - the number 12 on the bottom of the fraction.
These two fractions (21/35 and 10/35) have common denominators -- the number 35 on the bottom of the fraction.
Got it? Great! Then go to the SuperKids Math Worksheet Creator for Basic Fractions, and give it a try!

As many as two-fifths of homeowners in Northern Ireland have found themselves in negative equity as a result of the property crash of 2008 and due to other factors such as relationship breakdown. During the years leading up to the 2008 recession, many people pushed their affordability to the edge in order to get on the property ladder or upsize their homes.
If I have an interest only mortgage and I am in negative equity, can I still move house?
There are many options available to you if you find yourself in negative equity. Negative Equity Northern Ireland are skilled in negotiating on our clients behalf and have successfully helped many property owners to move to new homes. This may involve downsizing or moving to a cheaper area which can reduce their negative equity burden. We negotiate on behalf of our clients and are regulated by the FCA which means you are protected. Our service is confidential and our staff are experts in advising you about the best options for your circumstances.
My husband and I are getting a divorce and I need to downsize because I can’t afford the mortgage on my own. We have been in negative equity for the past 10 years. Will we still be able to go our separate ways and will I be able to get a fresh mortgage or change the mortgage into my name?
There are many reasons why people find themselves in negative equity. Often financial pressure can cause relationship pressure. Regardless of the reasons for your negative equity, our experienced FCA regulated advisers can offer you a way forward. If you want to buy out a partner and take on the mortgage yourself, it may be possible to increase the term of your mortgage to make repayments more affordable. So before you consider selling your property and downsizing, have a chat to our experts who can go through the options with you and help you make an informed choice.
I am an accidental landlord because I couldn’t sell my house during the recession because I am in 30% negative equity, so I had no option but to rent it out. Now the rent I get is lower than my mortgage repayments and I’m losing out, will I ever be able to sell this property on even if it is in negative equity with an interest only mortgage?
If you own a rental property which is in negative equity it’s possible to do so. We can negotiate with your mortgage company directly on your behalf to transfer the negative equity debt away from your landlord mortgage so that you don’t have to go bankrupt. We can help you negotiate favourable debt terms and provide a managed way forward to reduce your debt so you can move on.
I am a landlord and some of my properties are in negative equity. I’m losing money on low rents and high mortgage repayments and want to sell. With changes in Capital Gains Tax due to come in, in 2020, I need to reduce my portfolio. Will I be able to sell properties if they are in negative equity?
Many landlords bought properties during the construction boom and find themselves in negative equity with falling rental prices. If this is your scenario, then we can help. We can look at all your circumstances and negotiate with lenders directly to secure better interest rates or an increase in the term of the mortgage. We can also help you change over to a repayment mortgage so you can decrease your equity. Selling on property is an option, but it maybe possible to weather the storm if your debts are decreased. This means that as property prices rise your negative equity will be decreased over time and you will also be reducing the capital value of your mortgage loan by having a repayment vehicle. Speak to our experts at Negative Equity Northern Ireland for free confidential advice.
My house is in 40% negative equity since 2008 because I bought just before the crash. I’ve had an interest only mortgage for the last 8 years and haven’t made an impact on this negative equity. Can I still move house and downsize?
Negative equity isn’t in itself a bar to moving. However, quite often consumers find it difficult and stressful to successfully negotiate the best new terms for their mortgage so that they can move. At Negative Equity Northern Ireland, we have 4 year’s of experience of doing just that on behalf of our clients. We have helped our clients by assessing their circumstances, affordability and negative equity rates to come up with the best solution for them. This may involve negotiating better interest rates, increasing the term of the mortgage and selling the negative equity debt so that you can obtain a new mortgage on a smaller or a cheaper property. Staying put and continuing to pay high mortgage repayments on a home that no longer fits your needs is not the only solution. So if you’re trapped in negative equity and need to move house, speak to our experts and let them guide you towards the best solution for your needs. Why not use our Negative equity Calculator to see how much how much Negative Equity you are in and how you can reduce it?
If you find yourself in the situation of negative equity selling house then call us today on 0161 660 4403 to see how we can help.

The UT Tyler School of Nursing is now building an Advanced Practice Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track to be offered as a dual-track FNP-PMHNP beginning Spring 2020. Thanks to a supplemental funding award from a HRSA Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) grant in 2018, the university is creating this track to offset the desperate need for psychiatric/mental health care in northeast Texas.
116 people die daily from overdose related to the opiate crisis (HRSA, 2018). There is a significant correlation between mental illness and drug use/abuse and drug overdose related deaths (Velis, E., Borras, S., & Khaja, S. 2018).
24 million individuals with mental illness go untreated (MHA, 2018); Smith County has been designated by HRSA as a non-rural health professional shortage area in mental health and as a medically underserved area (HRSA 2018); medical facilities and providers in Tyler also serve surrounding rural counties.
Choose from the Family Nurse Practitioner track or do both the FNP and the PMHNP tracks concurrently and become dual-certified after graduation!
If you are already a certified NP, come back for a post-master’s certificate in Psych/Mental Health. You CAN make a difference!

Many veterans return from service without the proper financial education to succeed. Sometimes the transition to civilian life can create financial ruin before they've even adapted to their post-military lives.

My story started three years ago when I was motivated to attend the newly assembled Laurel Arts District Exploratory Committee meeting. I became involved because I missed having art exhibits and events nearby. I thought, like many others, that this town had a perfect setting for the arts and entertainment.
Fast forward: in the last three years as Laurel Arts District Committee president, I’m honored to have showcased solo artist, multiple artists’ arts exhibits, and three Laurel Art Festivals. My personal feelings of accomplishments in this endeavor are many, but most importantly, as an artist, seeing the community response to our efforts and appreciate events we have produced has been the most rewarding.
Someday you may find yourself in our Old Town listening to a musical or spoken word performance at a gallery, where area artists have displayed unique works and you may think, "What a great experience! This is an awesome town!"
We have many plans for the future to fill the art gap in our town and are working towards becoming a non profit entity so we can someday soon apply and have the support of the National Endowments for the Arts.
NEA Happy 50th! Keep up the creative work.

The Kingdom Legacy Challenge is a game challenge for The Sims Medieval, inspired by the original Legacy Challenge for Sims 2 (later adapted for Sims 3). The goal is for the player to create a generational legacy, founding future kingdoms with the offspring of the original monarch. The challenge ends when the player has completed 10 Ambitions. This challenge is not intended to be played with the “Eternal Kingdom” ambition, as the Kingdom Legacy Challenge is about building 10 kingdoms through a line of succession.
For the purpose of clarity, there is a distinction between an heir and a Kingdom Heir. A Kingdom Heir must be genetically related to the monarch that founded the kingdom they were born in, and then must complete the “Brave New World” quest and found their own kingdom.
The first monarch must be a sim created with Create-A-Sim, so he or she begins as a level 1 monarch. You may select any throne room you like and furnish it (or sell all non-essential items) however you see fit.
~ Hero sims can marry any available NPC at any time they wish, but hero sims can only marry another hero through successful completion of the Marriage or Heir to the Throne quests. A hero can produce an heir with another hero outside of marriage or special quests, of course.
~ The Kingdom Heir must be born before the completion of the current kingdom ambition. If you run out of quest points without producing an eligible Kingdom Heir, the challenge ends in failure.
~ If the player does not complete the kingdom ambition (earning a bronze or better medal) before running out of quest points, the challenge ends in failure.
~ If the player completes their kingdom ambition early (before using all quest points) the player may choose to continue playing the kingdom until all QP are used, but no child born after the completion of the kingdom ambition will be an eligible Kingdom Heir.
~ When the kingdom ambition has been completed or ended early, the player must select their Kingdom Heir immediately and found a new kingdom. If the Kingdom Heir is a baby or child at the time the ambition is completed, the player may play one Free Time or Free Time with Responsibilities quest in order to bring about the death of the parent and cause the Kingdom Heir to grow up. Then the Kingdom Heir must complete the “Brave New World” quest and found the next kingdom.
I like this idea. However, why stay in ten generations just because that was the amount for sims2-Legacy? The Great Circle has 12 ambitions, so why not make it an even dozen, one gen for each ambition? Add one more for Peacemaker if you have Pirates&Nobles. Never mind the Eternal Kingdom, of course, as that one can not be completed.

51% off. Listen, I went to college in Vermont, which holds a particularly special place in my heart and has also skewed my interpretation of what is “cute.” So yes, I personally find duck boots to be cute — especially these ones with red laces! But real talk, they are super practical if you live somewhere that has rainy falls and snowy winters. They’ll last you years despite getting dragged through all kinds of weather. These are more than half price today, so if you’re in the market for gross-weather shoes, check ’em out.
Banila Co Clean It Zero Nourishing Cleansing Balm for Dry Skin 100ml, replenish moisture, removes makeup and dead skin cells, Without Parabens.
25% off. Now that we’re entering perpetually-dry-skin season, I find myself reaching for way more moisturizing products than usual. Even my regular cleanser feels a bit drying this time of year. This product has great customer testimonials and can work for many different purposes, from makeup removal to moisturizer. It’s got a nice little discount today, but of course, as with any skincare products, poke around the reviews and do a little research before buying to get a sense of whether it’s right for you.
51% off. I’ve been in the market for a cold-weather jacket that’s lighter weight than my puffy winter coat — and how cute is this one?! I never would have thought of looking at Amazon for clothing, but there are actually quite a few decent brands that have sales going on. This jacket comes in a few (neutral) colors and has nice reviews.
33% off. I’m a Head & Shoulders user because, while I don’t have a dandruff condition, my scalp does dry out pretty often (despite my hair also being greasy after one sleep?? hair is confusing). However, I feel like my scalp has gotten used to the product and started rejecting it. Kind of how if you use one brand of OTC allergy meds for a while your body will get used to it and it’ll stop working. Anyway, I’ve been looking for a different shampoo, and I’m glad I cam across this one today. It’s a different formula but has great reviews and is 2/3 the regular price today.
32% off. It can be really difficult to find home decor in your early twenties, for a lot of reasons — you probably don’t have a lot of disposable income, you have roommates, and you don’t want to keep feeling like you live in a dorm, but you’re also probably not going to stay in your apartment for more than a couple of years. When I was just out of college, I loved things like this — decor items that look purposeful but are easy to put up, take down, and customize when your tastes change.
58% off. I am more than a little obsessed with watching cake and cookie decorating videos on Instagram. (It is SO soothing.) And as an amateur baker, I want to get better at decorating…but I also don’t want to shell out any amount of money for decorating tools I may never use again. These frosting piping tips are lovely and look ike a great starter set — and look at that cute packaging! Would be a cute, budget-friendly gift for any baking enthusiast, too.
32% off. I had one of these messenger bags in high school! They are great — they have plenty of different compartments and can withstand a ton of wear and tear. I’ve since learned that I’m a through and through backpack person, but everyone is different. If you’re a shoulder bag gal and are looking for something new, this brand has a ton of different colors on sale today.

With humanity's ever increasing dependence on technology, data centers play and will continue to play for the foreseeable future an ever more critical role in the modern economy. From hyper-scale sever farms to colocation provider facilities to smaller enterprise server rooms and closets, we continue to see most sectors of the industry rapidly expand. Not only is the industry expanding, but technology allows higher server rack densities, or more power consumption per square foot. The overall amount of energy consumed annually by data centers is staggering. Data centers in the US annually consume more power than many developed EU countries combined (ex. 2013 US consumption at 91 billion kWh as opposed Belgium at about 80 billion kWh the same year)!
Interestingly, in the United States, it is not the immense server farm of multi-tenant facilities that use the majority of energy resources consumed by data centers. According to a 2014 NDRC Whitepaper, 50% of the overall US server consumption is attributed to smaller server rooms and closets. Much of this energy is wasted by inefficient legacy systems or outdated cooling practices.
Many incentives exist to maximize energy efficiency, not the least of which is reducing electricity costs. Thus why there are so many companies promising attractive ROIs on every type of cooling solution imaginable.
For nearly 30 years our core competency has been computer room decontamination. For the last few decades, we have seen thousands of different facilities and have witnessed the evolution of the data center. Over the years, we have also been able to partner with several different thought leaders in the data center cooling solution industry. We have come to appreciate that no solution is a one size fits all solution. Our dedication is to our clients. Thus we are vendor agnostic in our approach with assisting clients in choosing the best solution or combination of solutions that will help them maximize energy in their unique facilities. Sometimes containment may be the answer. Perhaps active cooling solutions will be the best fit. Other facilities would better benefit from assistance in finding and utilizing utility company incentives for reducing energy consumption. Our commitment is to provide whatever connection or product that will best answer the need. From extensive experience throughout the last few decades, we know which are the best airflow management companies and products and can help guide to the right solution.

We're getting close to the release of Moodle 3.6, with many significant improvements and new features. Please also see the previous post.
LTI: due to a CSRF vulnerability in the LTI launch sequence the LTI 1.3 specification has been re-opened by IMS Global to make some changes. Consensus on the approach is near and we are working towards implementing the proposed changes. However, at this stage of the release cycle for 3.6 it is now too late to include these modifications, in particular since the LTI 1.3 spec hasn't yet been formally updated, approved and released. I anticipate we will include LTI 1.3 and any final changes in Moodle 3.7.
Additional major features for Moodle 3.6 beyond those listed in the earlier posts are integration of NextCloud and support for Open Badges v2, thanks to some excellent contributions from and collaboration with the Moodle community!
Testing is well under way, and thanks to many in the community for helping out in the QA cycle! We do have a bit more work ahead of us so to ensure we finish our test suite properly we are giving ourselves a little bit more time.
This means that we've decided to move the release date for Moodle 3.6 to December 3rd.

array of status objects (array of Statuses). May be MPI_STATUSES_IGNORE.
If one or more of the requests completes with an error, MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS is returned. An error value will be present is elements of array_of_status associated with the requests. Likewise, the MPI_ERROR field in the status elements associated with requests that have successfully completed will be MPI_SUCCESS. Finally, those requests that have not completed will have a value of MPI_ERR_PENDING.
While it is possible to list a request handle more than once in the array_of_requests, such an action is considered erroneous and may cause the program to unexecpectedly terminate or produce incorrect results.
The MPI_ERROR field of the status return is only set if the return from the MPI routine is MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS. That error class is only returned by the routines that take an array of status arguments (MPI_Testall, MPI_Testsome, MPI_Waitall, and MPI_Waitsome). In all other cases, the value of the MPI_ERROR field in the status is unchanged. See section 3.2.5 in the MPI-1.1 specification for the exact text.
For send operations, the only use of status is for MPI_Test_cancelled or in the case that there is an error in one of the four routines that may return the error class MPI_ERR_IN_STATUS, in which case the MPI_ERROR field of status will be set. In that case, the value will be set to MPI_SUCCESS for any send or receive operation that completed successfully, or MPI_ERR_PENDING for any operation which has neither failed nor completed.
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
Invalid MPI_Request. Either null or, in the case of a MPI_Start or MPI_Startall, not a persistent request.
The actual error value is in the MPI_Status argument. This error class is returned only from the multiple-completion routines (MPI_Testall, MPI_Testany, MPI_Testsome, MPI_Waitall, MPI_Waitany, and MPI_Waitsome). The field MPI_ERROR in the status argument contains the error value or MPI_SUCCESS (no error and complete) or MPI_ERR_PENDING to indicate that the request has not completed.
The MPI Standard does not specify what the result of the multiple completion routines is when an error occurs. For example, in an MPI_WAITALL, does the routine wait for all requests to either fail or complete, or does it return immediately (with the MPI definition of immediately, which means independent of actions of other MPI processes)? MPICH has chosen to make the return immediate (alternately, local in MPI terms), and to use the error class MPI_ERR_PENDING (introduced in MPI 1.1) to indicate which requests have not completed. In most cases, only one request with an error will be detected in each call to an MPI routine that tests multiple requests. The requests that have not been processed (because an error occured in one of the requests) will have their MPI_ERROR field marked with MPI_ERR_PENDING.

Just wondering why I'm not able to offer a bounty here?
It's been well past 2 days and I have some reputation left I'm willing to slice off.
You need at least 100 rep before you can slice off your ear and offer it up to someone as part of a bounty.
Why create a bounty and never return?
