Considering the more than $2 billion that The Dark Knight trilogy raked in at the worldwide box office, it’s easy to see how Hartnett’s hindsight is 20/20. “I know now that I wouldn’t turn something down just because it’s a superhero role,” he said.

The manner changes that you perceive scenario and your environment. It causes symptoms or mental wellness illnesses comparable to physical issues, as well as a mental illness and long term hazards. When drugs or booze cause worries about private health and well being, understanding the information on an insurance contract from United Health Care in Florida supplies the opportunity to begin working on changes that are favorable.
United Health Care offers treatment choices and several coverages in Florida to help with substance abuse healing and long term aims. The coverages vary from Bronze HMO coverages with low monthly expense to a Platinum HMO coverage that's somewhat higher monthly prices, but lower deductibles and out-of pocket costs. A Bronze Medal coverage generally pays for treatment after the deductible is paid by a person. While it's a lower monthly expense when compared with other United Healthcare coverages, it has a lower amount of coverage and also has a somewhat higher co payment or co insurance rate. Coverages that are silver generally drop into the typical class for premiums, out-of pocket costs and coverage. It covers somewhat more than the usual Bronze Medal coverage for dependency and mental wellness. Gold coverages provide more coverage for mental wellness illnesses and substance abuse. In addition, it has a somewhat higher monthly price and lower out-of pocket expenses. The coverages with the maximum monthly price and the finest coverage are Platinum coverages. In addition, it has low out-of pocket price when compared to other coverage alternatives. United Health Care plans generally offer some alternatives to help with addiction and mental wellness illnesses although coverage and the prices change between options and coverages. The restrictions and exceptions in the coverages change based on the scenario and the coverage, but most strategies will enable someone to seek treatment within an in network plan that complies with the requirements said the plan.
Treating an addiction to alcohol or drugs needs the right kind of rehab and software center in Florida. The state offers many different choices, but some plans will not be insured by a coverage that is personal. Before beginning treatment assess the plan. Preferably, you need to enter an in network treatment application which complies with the standards of the coverage. Some plans also enable people to seek treatment in an out-of network plan, but the facility typically costs more due to co insurance rate or a greater co payment when compared to an in network plan. Another variable to consider before beginning treatment is exclusions or the restrictions in the coverage. Treatment choices are limited by some coverages from United Healthcare in Florida based on the alternatives and the signs. Typically, optional treatments like massage or acupuncture therapy will not be covered in the coverage, nevertheless, the coverages usually cover evidence based solutions like cognitive therapies, counselling and conventional group therapies. Before beginning treatment consistently adhere to the requirements of the insurance policy. If needed, subsequently get a recommendation from the primary care physician before beginning treatment in a system that is particular. While other choices enable people to seek treatment with no referral, thus comply with the demands in the coverage some policies need a referral.
The coverage from United Health Care in Florida for co occurring disorders or mental wellness illnesses, substance abuse depends on the scenario.

3. Reasonably priced and reliable: Branded Flash Drives can be ordered in bulk at a wholesale price with your desired specifications on data storage, design and branding style attached. Their design and functionality is also highly reliable, lasting several years if stored and looked after correctly.

Nearly 25 years ago, at the age of 10, I wrote a letter that changed my life.
The letter explained how I was just 8 years old when I learned my father, Cecil Dawson, was living with Alzheimer’s disease. It shared how my mother and I had little choice but to place my father in a memory care community when we were no longer able to safely care for him ourselves.
The letter also made clear the financial devastation his illness caused — how we lost nearly everything in our efforts to make sure he was safe and properly cared for.
Even as a child I realized I was unable to make my father well again, no matter how desperately I wanted that. But I also knew I needed to do something to help my father. I knew I needed to speak out. That’s why I began to write letters in the first place. Because as a naive 10-year-old, I thought that if people only knew, then they would care.
Take a moment to imagine this unlikely scene. A young boy growing up in the woods of rural Oregon believes a handwritten letter to those with power and influence might actually help his father. If Twitter or any other social media platform had existed in the early 1990s, I would have tried those, too.
At first, my writing elicited little response. Every few weeks, a random letter might appear in our mailbox from a politician offering concern. I nearly gave up more times than I can count, especially after writing (no joke) hundreds of letters with limited results.
But when I wrote a letter to National Public Radio (NPR), and they invited me to read it on air, everything changed overnight.
Soon I found myself traveling to Washington, D.C., to testify before a Congressional committee and a packed room of over 500 people. All were waiting to hear what I — the 10-year-old — had to say.
The following day I met President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, albeit accidentally, as well as countless other elected officials and luminaries. I even got to share my family’s story over lunch with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. I will never forget that Secretary Donna Shalala gave me her dessert as I was still obviously hungry.
This entire journey was an improbable feat for a child whose family was struggling to survive on Medicaid and Social Security. Newspapers and most of the major television networks in the country covered our story. “Oregon Boy Stuns Senators with Dad’s Tale” read one headline.
The things I sought most as a child advocate — a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and a more informed approach to care, one that does not end in the financial devastation of the family — have not yet come to pass. Yet the experience stays with me.
In watching my father live, fight and ultimately succumb to Alzheimer’s, my life was profoundly shaped in a way he never knew.
He never met my wife, Sarah, a tireless advocate who is deeply committed to supporting people living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. He never realized his disease would impact every decision we now make as a family. Nor did my father realize his disease would create the foundation on which my professional career is based: improving care for people like him.
Few of my cohort, the children of the 1980s and 1990s, have likely come to terms with what Alzheimer’s disease means for our generation. Who can blame them? Our culture continues to inaccurately portray Alzheimer’s disease as something that only affects “older” adults.
While my father may have been significantly older than the typical parent, his disease devastated our family in a way that is in no way unique to any one age group. Without question, Alzheimer’s disease is an intergenerational issue. In fact, Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Some estimates place it as high as the third. But the intergenerational impact is far wider, including caregiving as well as the costs to families and our nation.
So let me be perfectly clear. Without a breakthrough, Millennials inherit one of the greatest public health crises of the 21st century.
As if Millennials needed yet another problem to worry about. Climate change, student loan debt, rising inequality and now the threat of nuclear war. These issues all matter, immensely. They inescapably frame the world in which we make our lives, build careers and raise our families. So, too, does Alzheimer’s disease — whether we realize it yet or not.
Twenty years have passed since I lost my father to Alzheimer’s disease. I miss him every day. But in truth, the legacy of his journey has only just become fully apparent to me in recent months.
Two more of my family members have developed this fatal disease — one living and one now passed on. It would be a lie to say I am not worried. I cannot help but think about what the future of my family — our family — will look like. The increasingly likely reality is that one day it could also be me.
But I refuse to lose my hope. That is why I continue to speak out. What has become a lifelong commitment to seeing this through began with a letter and a belief that my father and others like him deserve better. But now I also fight for a future where I can look my wife in the eye and say: Alzheimer’s will not be our story.
So what is standing in the way of that future? What is the barrier to — dare I say it — finding a cure?
This stigma is partially rooted in the insidiousness of ageism. Read: Alzheimer’s and dementia are not a normal part of the aging process. But the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease is also deeply rooted in fear. A fear of decline, the loss of self and dependence on others that results. We fear how others would treat us if they learned we have Alzheimer’s.
The great advances in treating other diseases such as HIV and cancer only truly began to take shape once we broke through their stigma. So, too, will be the case with Alzheimer’s.
It is how care will improve for people currently living with the disease and how increased investments in research on a treatment and — dare I say it again — a cure will come about. The recent announcement by Bill Gates that he is donating $100 million of his personal funds to Alzheimer’s research is an excellent development that can help spur further support.
One of the best ways to help break through the stigma of Alzheimer’s is by sharing stories. I have believed this ever since I first picked up a note pad all those many years ago as a child.
One day, I know the story I tell will no longer be one of tragedy or loss, but one of triumph. The story I tell will be the one of how we beat Alzheimer’s disease.
Walter Dawson, D. Phil., is an expert on aging and health policy issues. He is also a lifelong advocate for people living with Alzheimer disease and their caregivers. Dawson’s research interests include comparative health policy, long-term services and supports financing, and public policies that support people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. He is based in Portland, Ore.

One hundred years ago people in Contra Costa County were living in a state of calm, not realizing the storm to come. U.S women who had been mobilizing for generations, were within grasp of the national franchise, or vote. And that bug-a-boo, Prohibition — or was it Influenza? — was also imminent. World War I— The Great War — was already devastating old Europe. One hundred years ago last June, the infamous Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated which led to the unfolding of complicated alliances: by August Germany had declared war on Russia and France. The French raced out to the front in their taxi cabs to halt a complete German invasion at the river Marne, the infamous "trench warfare" began. By December, Germany’s total war against England was seemingly put off for the Yuletide holiday and soldiers hemmed in by barbed wire and stranded in the trenches, far out on the muddy Western Front, had an "unofficial" Christmas day of truce. Who would have known that this stalemate would last another four years resulting in unimaginable casualties and new technologies such as mustard gas, tanks and airplanes — all meant to kill. Yet, on December 25th, 1914 would anyone in Contra Costa County have known that we were living on the cusp of such a dramatic, new era?
While browsing through the local papers published in late December that year, I was surprised at how little was mentioned — or not at all — of the ongoing war in Europe. The newspapers also shocked me with their intense commercialization of the Yuletide holiday. For example, just days before the 25th, The Antioch Ledger reminds consumers, "Only four more days to solve your gift problems… Don’t put it off any longer!" Historians have already studied Christmas and have documented that the "shop early craze" for the holiday began way before 1914; the 19th century Victorians have that claim to fame. What I learned from our 1914 papers is that we don’t need professional historians to tell us that procrastinators are timeless! Most ads — as it got closer to the 25th — emphasized the obvious: "Don’t Wait Until the Eleventh Hour!" Uniquely, the Antioch Ledger tells local readers to "Patronize Your Home Merchants." The Ledger said that not only were goods in Antioch cheaper than "the big city dealers" but one could also avoid — in an era before widespread cars and plastic bags—the "annoyance of carrying the bundles home." Not only did The Ledger have the most Christmas advertisements that told consumers to buy locally, but the Ledger also told them to buy "Useful Christmas Presents." Palace Drug Company actually gave an extensive list of useful "Gentleman’s Gifts and Ladies Gifts: No other present will reflect on their memory as often." Obviously, the pressure and stress of Christmas was as timeless then, as it is now.
The Concord Transcript of December 24th was probably the most worldly and thoughtful of all of the local papers. Interestingly, it did not fail to mention how brilliant the Concord stores were and how "their prosperity means the town’s prosperity." It was the Transcript however, that dedicated a significant amount of space to the war in Europe, such as the battle for Warsaw and the bombardment of London weeks before total war was technically proclaimed against England. Raids on London were killing women, children and "fifteen schoolboys were killed by a single German shell." British ships were being attacked and "Berlin is elated and this may be the prelude to greater events on the sea." The Kaiser of Germany was also making overtures in the Balkans and the Transcript printed the London Times response that "the Germans, ever restive, are preparing … a concentration of their forces to strike when conditions are propitious." TheTranscript also published an article by a staff writer titled "Unemployment and Crime Go Hand in Hand" quoting Oakland’s Chief of Police that Oakland "should take some steps to care for its own citizens who are out of work." Chief Petersen showed special concern, thus echoing the more secular sentiments of Christmas, which tells us to be grateful and generous to others. He said that many of those out of work were not "the usual eastern migratory indigent," but those who had families.
Much in step with what we would all like to see in newspapers today on Christmas Eve, the Martinez Gazette on the 24th of December highlighted how the Charity Committee distributed "Food For The Hungry and Little Gifts For the Children" at the county hospital and in the county detention homes. Yet oddly placed, on the 23rd, amidst "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! Last Call for Christmas!" was a small sidebar column that joked about holiday suicide. This surprised me. It goes something like this: A "Wild -Eyed Customer" asks for carbolic acid and the clerk says it’s not a pharmacy, it’s a hardware store… "but we have a fine line of ropes, revolvers, and razors!"
Was it shear serendipity then, that the next holiday newspaper headline I saw was the Richmond Independent’s bold, "EXTRA! EXTRA!" December 25th edition with the thick, bleeding black headline: "Bob Moran Is Suicide." This sensational headline finally cemented my feeling that people of 1914 were perhaps not so much different from ourselves. I quickly remembered the Gazette’s oddly placed suicide joke and I began wondering if suicide, like consumerism, has always been a part of our holiday season too.
Bob Moran, "a man of exemplary habits," was announced missing by the Richmond Independent on December 24th. His fraternal friends of the Richmond Elks lodge searched doggedly for him believing that the root of his problem was financial. His boss at the Street Railway Company said he would have "mortgaged his home" to aid him. Therefore, it was quite a shock that his mangled body was spotted by a lighthouse keeper floating near Angel Island on Christmas Eve. He left a note to his fiancé saying that he "tried to make good, but failed. I lost. Nothing to do but end it all." In his pocket was a railway key and his Elk’s club knife.
However, it’s a myth that suicides peak during the holiday season, regardless of all of the intense pressure to buy "useful" gifts and to "please" loved ones. In fact, the suicide rate, according to the Center for Disease Control, is the lowest in December. Yet, The Annenberg Public Policy Center analyzed media during a recent holiday season and found that fifty percent of articles said suicides occur more frequently over the holidays. The myth, regardless of the era, seems to persist, why? Bob Moran’s 1914 story is a powerful narrative about lost love during a season where expressing love —most often through gifts —is tantamount. Christmas highlights and rewards our efforts to be thankful, appreciative and loving. When these efforts are thwarted it puzzles us and attracts our imagination more than any other time of the year. In this way we are very much like the people of 1914, living in the moment and never knowing what lies ahead.

At Lyndhurst, we have had a strong philosophy of care for many years, which has adapted to include advances in clinical techniques.
The Lyndhurst team is dedicated to helping our patients prevent dental deterioration. Whilst the main responsibility for dental care lies with the patient, we approach this together. Our experienced team of specialists and hygienists are integral to this approach, advising and encouraging our patients to maintain healthy mouths on a daily basis.
Our aim is for our patients to keep their teeth for life. Minimally invasive dentistry is the practice of using materials and techniques (particularly techniques using bonded materials) to ensure that we are as kind to teeth as possible, saving as much tooth tissue as possible to achieve the desired result. Although the expression ‘Minimally Invasive Dentistry' is relatively recent, this is an approach that we have used at Lyndhurst since the practice was established by Fred Porter in 1975!.

REECE Hutchinson says that he is thankful to the Academy for helping him in his development, after the left back made his maiden first team start against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.
The Academy graduate signed his first professional deal in the summer, and made his league debut against Gillingham earlier this season.
The youngster’s full debut came in the second-round of the Carabao Cup, where he put in an impressive performance as the Brewers overcame Villa through a Liam Boyce goal.
Hutchinson says that the playing time given to him, along with fellow Young Brewers such as Marcus Harness, Ben Fox and Joe Sbarra, shows that there is a pathway from the Academy to the first team.
The youngster has also thanked coaches such as Academy Manager Dan Robinson and Professional Development Phase Lead Coach Sam Rose for their help in his road to first team football.
He said: “As you can see, they have all played crucial minutes recently. It just shows that there is always a pathway from the Academy.
“He (Dan) came into the dressing room afterwards. He gave me a big hug and said ‘well done’. He was sat next to my dad and said that my dad was super proud of me, and that the whole Academy were proud of me.
“I have got to thank them (The Academy) for this opportunity. Coming through the Academy is not easy but, thankfully, they helped me through it.

This is a difficult weekly email to send. Abington Games is going out of business. This makes us the third local game store to close this year (Round Table Games in Conshohocken and Dimension Collectibles in Ambler). Between the forces of online sales, our attempts to run this part-time, and the current state of the economy, we can't continue the business.
However, there are some benefits to you - we need to liquidate inventory, so there is a 30% off sale on almost everything in the store! We have loads of miniatures and board games and want to give you the chance to pick them up.
We will continue to be open for a while now - I expect through September. We will continue to offer gaming space for you to play your games and have some fun.
We entered this for the love of gaming, but we are not business people and did not give it the full time attention that it needs. I am saddened by the closing, but thankful of the new friends I made and the bonds that were stengthened through gaming.
IF anyone seriously wants to buy the store from us and can give it the care and attention it deserves, please contact one of us - we'd be happy to talk about it.
Pretty much says it all right there, tried to run a store front business part time.
It seems like something from a bygone era. I don't think a gamestore is a viable business anymore, and wouldn't go near it with a ten foot dungeon pole.
I looked into opening up my own game store here in Tulsa. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a good location, cheap rent, contacting game companies, the whole nine yards. I even worked up a handy dandy spreadsheet to help calculate my montly expenses just so I could have a guesstimate as to how much I would have to sell in order to break even. I was also working on a proposal similar in style to what you can find on the Small Business Administration website.
While this may sound strange, I was not looking to use this store as a way to pay off all of my personal bills. I figured I would have had to be open 2-3 years before I really started making a good profit. While I would be maintaining my current day job (thank you awesome benefits! ), I planned on having a full time employee during the day. Then I would show up after I got off of work here and take over for the evening. I even had someone lined up and ready to go. But, I just couldn't get the numbers to really work out in my favor enough to get a bank to give me the money I needed to get the store started.
So, my dream of my own store is not dead, but just dormant. I am hoping that I somehow win money from the Powerball or something (yes, I am playing $1 a week ) just so I can open it. My guess is that you almost have to be independently wealthy in order to open a store like that. It is very difficult to convince a bank to loan you the money because it is not a common enough type of store for them to really understand what you are talking about. Basically, if anyone out there has about $100K just laying around that they are willing to donate to my cause, I would be most appreciative. That would enable me to stay open for upwards of 3 years no problem.
Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that you are running out of game stores in your area. We have a few stores that will sell certain aspects of the gaming business, but in my opinion, there is only one true game store here in Tulsa. I was looking to be the second (but obviously more awesome ).
wildbill, you're SMART and can see the numbers having looked into it. Everyone here knows I'm not the swiftest cat, even on a good day, but I can see the trend being an insane swim against the current. I'm having a moritorium on spending on pewter right now. I already have enough to paint for the rest of my life. I wonder how many others here on the consumer end have recalculated their hobby budget in light of the current mess.
Luckily, my Bathalian Darkspawn army isn't a lot of models, and I should be able to buy one a month to fill out the force sometime next year.
I've always thought about opening a game store here in Ontario. I know there is a base of gamers here, just no centralize location for everyone to really get to know each other exists (well outside of friendships & such). About the closest thing we have is a card shop that can get the collectible mini games & WoTC of course. If it weren't for him I'd probably wouldn't have as many D&D books as I do (which in some cases can be looked at both ways, ha ha.
I think therein lies the basic problem. Gamers are a difficult crowd overall to deal with. They want instant gratification on whatever game/line they're interested in, but don't want to pay for it. I'm part of the problem and have changed accordingly.
I now buy my CAV direct from Reaper. The Crusader is assembled and daring me to prime and paint it. If I want to see more from them, it's better to invest in the new stuff straight from them, and just buy in smaller dosages.
I think Heisler is right - running a store is hard, but trying to run one part time as a side business makes things even more difficult.
I see this a lot in my industry, car washes. We have a lot of Doctors. Lawyers and Pilots who think they can open up a car wash, and simply go down once a week to pick up their quarters. The only ones who truly make it successful are the ones who devote the resources needed - either themselves, or by hiring people to run it for them.
Game stores are the same way, IMO - if you pick the right location, and really dedicate the resources needed to it, they should do well for you. If you short cut any of it, you're going to have problems.
Maine's managed to lose four gaming stores in the past couple of years. Maiden Games, The Keep, Witz End, and Zimmie's Comics and Games have all closed their doors for one reason or another and there's probably more since we don't get a lot of gaming news from the northern part of the state. Stunned is the best word to describe the closing of Zimmie's in Lewiston because it was one of what we thought of as one of the bigger stores in the state.
A lot of staying open and staying in the black for a gaming store has been the requirement to constantly evolve. You can't just stick to one or two types of product and expect to survive when you've got online retailers and retail chains selling lower than you can even think about. Sometimes it's a forced evolution, like our starting to carry comic books (The Keep was Brunswick's comic book and 40k store) and sometimes it a dive into unknown waters (like ordering a bunch of RCon Sophies and Sophie collections) and hoping for the best. Constantly looking for new avenues to explore/exploit to keep the money flowing in the right directions.
It helps when you've got loyal customers who understand what's going on. Point out occasionally that you're sorry you can't give a better price, but you are providing a place to play which is growing more and more rare. If they know you've got expenses other than just stock sometimes they're considerate enough to take note and maybe spend a little less online and little more in store.
There are several very viable, very vibrant and very alive stores in the SF Bay Area. I, myself have - shock! - thought of getting out of my current grind and seeing if I could start one up in my own neighborhood. We're right in a place with lots of kids, but far between the major players in the area.
It helps when you've got loyal customers who understand what's going on.
Agreed with all your points. However, you failed to mention one of the most important things that gains you loyal customers. Good Customer Service.
That is really important in this day and age of internet sales. Brick and Mortar stores can almost always out-compete online stores in this regard - IF they try.
Simple things - like knowing customers names, learning their preferred games, tipping them off to upcoming releases they may like, handling special orders promptly, etc - all of that and more is where a small shop can blow the online and big box retailers away.
Customer service and game space I think is what makes a game store. I have been to some were the people are rude and I don't go back. If i want no service I can order online.
What I don't understand is why all retail game stores don't set up an online store. I have read so many places were they talk about online stores hurting them. Well why not have one of your own.
There are two very viable shops nearby. Neither is really local to my house, but one is within a few minutes drive of the office and the other is within a few minutes drive of one of my best friends' house, so I can get to either pretty easily.
The one close to the office I've been doing business with for nearly ten years. They are slowly expanding their ability to handle mail order/online orders and are taking steps to be able to sell more product lines than they have ever made available before. General 308 has it right. Customer Service is key. If you know your clientele and know the products they are interested in, you will go far. If you're in it to get Rich Quick, you can forget about it. But if you're in it because you love games, you might just pull it off.
If you're in it to get Rich Quick, you can forget about it. But if you're in it because you love games, you might just pull it off.
I agree with you about if you're in it to get rich quick, forget it. But I've met quite a few people who are in it because they love games, and that appears to be their only reason. I don't think it's enough, though. You have to have some business sense, too. It really helps if you love games, but it's not a requirement, if you have the business acumen to do what's required to make a business successful, you can make it in the game business.
The people who have both have the advantage.
If there were already 2 other local stores near them that closed and a new owner can give the store full time attention, then maybe the store can thrive.

Mostly my Jewish friends will put a like on this post. Many will ignore it. That is unfortunate. I will post it anyways.
Once i cradled an M16 in Israel for all of the Jews who died in the Holocaust and couldn’t .
Can you imagine what they could have done if they had something like this? I didn’t do it frivolously but with that deep responsibility and commitment that the Shoah would never happen again and if we as a people are faced with sworn enemies like we were then and are today then we can defend ourselves and never be sent to the gas chambers.
On this day i pay respects to my family who died in Bergen Belsen and in the Ghettos of Lodz.
Also to my grandmother’s cousin who managed to survive the camps and came back to her village in Poland to her house only to find her neighbor had taken it over and surprised she had survived took an axe to her and killed her.
The pictures i drew many years ago .The one on the bottom right i had written a poem ,a very heartfelt poem and then i burnt the poem and glued it into the art i created.
Here i am a few years ago when i visited Dachau concentration camp in Germany.The town was across the street.I never got over that. No one saw anything .No one smelled the burning bodies. When the camp was liberated by the U.S army the general made the townspeople walk through the camp and see what their complicity had done.
In the latest polls in North America a great percentage of people mostly younger never heard of the Holocaust.To the ones who tell me forget, forget this is the past i say i will never forget. Because then this could happen again.
If Hitler and the Germans had won every Jew in the world would have been hunted and killed. Anti semitism is now at the highest level since before the war.Europe is not safe anymore.
Jews are leaving France,England and other countries.
A fact.Corbyn of England is an anti semite.His hatred for Jews is apparent.
I remember recently a friend in Spain was telling me about an Israeli couple,artists that had lived on the island since the 50’s. He went on to say they have left a house here that is just abandoned.
“Didn’t they have family to leave it to?” I inquired. .
in the past 6 months two “friends” have approached me with conspiracy theories that are floating around the internet that Jews conspired with Hitler to commit the Holocaust in a bid to make money. These are from the writings of the anti semitic David Icke..They urged me to have an open mind. They were earnest.
“Follow the money “,one said with a self satisfied smile . Unfuckingbelievable.
This is what happens when we forget!

There was enough to please Ian Allinson even though St Albans City could only leave Gloucester City with a 0-0 draw.
Remarkably it was only the second no-score draw for Saints under the former Luton Town and Arsenal cult legend, the last one having arrived on April 1 at Hungerford Town during the 2016-2017 season.
And it was a typically dour game, as most that finish without a goal are, not that the City boss was complaining mind.
Allinson said: “We can say we expected to win but after the run we’ve been on, losing three games on the trot, our confidence has taken a bit of a blow.
“So it was important we didn’t get beat first and foremost.
“We got into some really good areas but it wasn’t a pretty game. It was a horrible game to watch and it was a horrible game to be involved in.
“Both sides really made it difficult and the pitch, although it looks nice, was pretty bobbly.
City went into the game just outside of the play-offs, their poor run contributing to their slide, but they were playing a Tigers side just outside of the relegation places.
And while some expected to see Saints leave with three points, Allinson felt it was a hard-earned and not totally unsurprising result.
“There’s no divine right to win,” he said. “We have to respect the opposition and unfortunately we can’t just turn up and win every game of football.
“We have to earn the right.
“They have had a few changes. They have a new manager and from where they were when he came in to now, they are a lot further ahead.
“They will cause teams problems. They scored three against Woking on Tuesday night.
“We have to work extremely hard on what we do and we have to respect the league.
“We were a little bit fragile today so we have to take what we’ve got.
“I’m really pleased with the clean sheet and now we have to improve in the wide areas because we’ve got two strikers who cause a lot of problems for teams.

Clone REA269 recognizes the CD106 antigen, a 110 kDa single chain type I glycoprotein, also known as vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) or INCAM-100. CD106 is expressed on inflamed vascular endothelium, as well as on macrophage-like and dendritic cell types in both normal and inflamed tissue. Upregulation of CD106 in endothelial cells by inflammatory stimuli and cytokines occurs as a result of increased gene transcription. Primarily, CD106 is an endothelial ligand for very late antigen-4 (VLA-4) or integrin α-4/β-7 and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The interactions play a pathophysiologic role in leukocyte adhesion, transmigration, and co-stimulation of T cell proliferation.
Additional information: Clone REA269 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

This Potato Leek Soup is super creamy, with a unique smoky flavor. It’s also gluten free, packed full of healthy ingredients and so easy to make in your Instant Pot.
Let’s just say we’ve eaten A LOT of potato soup this week, as I made this recipe a total of 5 times before I got it right.
So why the heck did it take 5 tries? Well, the first 4 batches I was experimenting with different types of potatoes and developing the perfect texture. I first made it with red and baby potatoes, and while the soup tasted good, the texture was just not as creamy as I was hoping for.
So the results were in- Russet potatoes are the way to go. These type of potatoes give this soup the creaminess I was looking for, and other potatoes just don’t compare.
Also, this is not your every day potato soup with loads of butter and chicken broth. This Potato Leek soup is made with zero oil, and with the addition of soy sauce and liquid smoke, it has a very distinct, yummy flavor.
Set your Instant Pot (at least 6 quarts in size) to Sauté. Add the vegetable broth, onion, celery, leek, and garlic cloves. Stir for 5-6 minutes, or until onion is translucent and soft. Shut off the Instant Pot.
Add the water, potatoes, salt, pepper, Spanish paprika, thyme, liquid smoke, soy sauce, butter and almond milk. Close lid and make sure it is set to “Sealing”. Then set to the “Soup” function (or Manual, or Pressure Cook) for 25 minutes. Close the lid.
The Instant Pot will build up pressure and then cook for 25 minutes. After cooking, it will need roughly 15-20 minutes to release the pressure.
When ready, open the Instant Pot. Add the nutritional yeast and stir. Then carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup. OR, transfer the soup to a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in 2 batches. Be careful, it will be hot!
This recipe makes about 4 cups, or 4 (1-cup) servings.
*For this recipe, use an Instant Pot at least 6 quarts in size.
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Add onion, celery, leek, and garlic cloves. Add vegetable broth and stir for 5-6 minutes, or until onion is translucent and soft. Shut off the Instant Pot.
Add water, potatoes, salt, pepper, Spanish paprika, thyme, liquid smoke, soy sauce, butter and almond milk. Close lid and make sure it is set to “Sealing”. Set to the “Soup” function (or Manual/Pressure Cook) for 25 minutes. The Instant Pot will build up pressure and then cook for 25 minutes. After cooking, it will need another 15-20 minutes to release the pressure.
Add nutritional yeast and stir. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup to your desired consistency. OR, you can transfer to a high powered blender and blend until smooth. I recommend doing this in 2 batches depending on the size of your blender.
*Red or baby potatoes work too, but the soup will not be as creamy. Makes about 4 cups soup, or 4 (one-cup) servings.
I did this recipe in my 5 Quartz IP and it worked out fine. Unfortunately, my local store was out of liquid smoke, so I skipped it. It’s still good, but it tastes a little too much like nutritional yeast for me, it overwhelms the leek.
Thanks Etienne. I love the taste of nutritional yeast but if you don’t like the flavor, maybe the liquid smoke would cover up the taste. Or less nutritional yeast. =) Thanks!

Our company has been offering expert garage door repair for decades! See the list of answers our team has put together for many common customer questions below!
What are the available thicknesses of steel garage doors?
Steel garage doors are often heavier than other doors made of different materials. However, they also come in varying thickness, which is measured in gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker it is. If you are looking for high quality steel garage doors, our experts say that those that are gauge and below are the best choice.
Does the track need to be changed when replacing an old garage door with a new one?
If having a new garage door installed, you may still use your old garage door track. However, our garage door professionals recommend having the old door track replaced with a new one as well. This is to make sure everything operates smoothly, especially if you’ve had problems with old tracks before. This may affect the performance of your new door, which you don’t want to happen.
Do I need to measure my garage door dimensions?
Garage Door Repair Williamsburg recommends that these are done prior to inviting us in to do maintenance. You should be looking at the panel sizes, the main frame as well as the flaps that you will need. We will do our own checks in any case but it helps customers as well.

302 IPC To undergo imprisonment for life. Rs.5,000/- in default to undergo simple imprisonment for six months.
The Trial Court, however, acquitted the accused from the charge under Section 294(b) of the Indian Penal Code. Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the appellant has come up with this Criminal Appeal.
The accused, in this case, is the husband of the deceased - Mrs.Pathirakali. They were residing at Kasinathapuram Village Melatheru, Tirunelveli District. On 15.04.2012, PW-1, the mother of the deceased, had come to the house of the deceased and stayed with her. The accused had gone out and did not return in the evening. On 16.04.2012, around 02.00 AM, the accused returned to his house. PW-1 and the deceased were sleeping in the house by bolting the door from inside. The accused knocked at the door. Awakened by the same, the deceased went near the main door and opened the same. PW-1 was also awakened. On the accused entering into the house, the deceased questioned him as to why he was unnecessarily roaming around late in the night. This resulted in a quarrel. It is stated that suddenly, the accused took out an aruval and cut the deceased indiscriminately. The occurrence was witnessed by PW-1, who raised alarm. On hearing the alarm, the neighbours, namely, PW-3 and one Mr.Sakthivel came to the house of the deceased and they also witnessed the occurrence. The deceased fell down in a pool of blood. The accused went away from the scene of occurrence, taking the aruval in his hands.
2.2. PW-4 is the son of PW-1. On being informed, PW-4 rushed to the house of the deceased. Then, PW-1 and PW-4, with the help of others, took the deceased in an 108 Ambulance to the Government Hospital, Tirunelveli.
2.3. On receiving intimation from the hospital, PW-11, the then Sub-Inspector of Police, went to the Government Hospital at Tirunelveli. Since the deceased was in unconscious state, she recorded the statement of PW-1 and on returning to the Police Station, at 11.30 AM, on 16.04.2012, she registered a case in Crime No.101 of 2012, under Sections 294(b) and 307 of the Indian Penal Code. EX-P1 is the complaint and EX-P8 is the First Information Report. Then, she forwarded both the documents to the Court and handed over the investigation to the Inspector of Police.
2.4. Taking up the case for investigation, at 01.00 PM, on 16.04.2012, PW-12 proceeded to the place of occurrence, prepared an Observation Mahazer and a Rough Sketch, showing the place of occurrence in the presence of the witnesses. He recovered bloodstained earth and sample earth from the place of occurrence. On the same day, at 04.00 PM, he arrested the accused in the presence of the witnesses. On such arrest, he gave a voluntary confession, in which he disclosed the place, where he had hidden the aruval. In pursuance of the same, the accused took the police and the witnesses to the hide out and produced MO-1 - aruval. PW-12 recovered the same under a mahazer. On returning to the Police Station, PW-12 forwarded the accused to the Court for judicial remand. He also handed over the material objects to the Court. While so, on 18.04.2012, the deceased succumbed to the injuries in the hospital. On receiving death intimation from the hospital authorities, PW-12 altered the case into one under Sections 294(b) and 302 of the Indian Penal Code, on 19.04.2012. EX-P13 is the alteration report. Then, he conducted inquest on the body of the deceased. EX-P14 is the inquest report. Then, he forwarded the dead body for postmortem.
"1) Stapled cut injuries: 5 x 1cm x bone deep over right side of frontal region. 3 x 1 cm x bone deep over right side of forehead, 5 x 1cm x bone deep over left side of frontal region, 3 x 1cm x bone deep over left parietal region, 3 x 1cm x bone deep over left temporal region, 3 x 1cm x bone deep near left eyebrow and 1 x 1 x 1cm over right 3rd finger.
2) On dissection of head: Scalpel contusion seen over frontal both parietal and temporal regions. Crack fracture of length 30cm seen in right temporal, right parietal, left pareital and left temporal bones. Subdural haematoma of about 20gms seen in right temporal region. Subdurall and subarachnoid haemorrhages ssen in both temporo parietal regions and cerebellum of brain. Right temporal lobe of brain found necrosed of size 5 x 4 x 2 cm".
According to PW-7, the death of the deceased could have been caused by a weapon, like aruval. He gave opinion that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and hemorrhage due to multiple injuries. PW-12 recovered the cloth found from the dead body of the deceased and forwarded the same to the Court. On completing the investigation, he laid charge sheet against the accused, 12.06.2012.
2.6. Based on the above materials, the Trial Court framed appropriate charges, as detailed in the first paragraph of this Judgment. When the accused was questioned in respect of the charges, he pleaded innocence. In order to prove the charges, on the side of the prosecution, 12 witnesses were examined, 14 documents and one material object were marked.
2.7. Out of the said 12 witnesses, PW-1, the mother of the deceased, has spoken about the entire occurrence as an eye-witness. She has also spoken about the complaint made by her to the police. PW-2 and PW-3 have turned hostile and they have not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner. PW-4, the brother of the deceased, has stated that on being informed by PW-1, he went to the house of the deceased. He has further stated that he along with PW-1 took the deceased to the Government Hospital, Tirunelveli, in 108 Ambulance, for treatment.
2.8. PW-5, a neighbour of the deceased, has stated that he found the accused fleeing away from the scene of occurrence. PW-6 has spoken about the preparation of Observation Mahazer and the Rough Sketch and the recovery of material objects from the place of occurrence. PW-7 has spoken about the autopsy conducted by him and his final opinion regarding the cause of death. PW-8 has spoken about the arrest of the accused, the confession made by him and the consequential recovery of material object. PW-9 has turned hostile and he has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner. PW-10, a Head Constable, has stated that he handed over the dead body to the hospital for postmortem, as directed by the Investigating Officer. PW-11 has spoken about the registration of the case, on the complaint made by PW-1. PW-12 has spoken about the investigation conducted by him and the filing of final report.
2.9. When the Trial Court examined the accused under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in respect of the incriminating evidences available against him, he denied the same as false. On his side, he examined two witnesses, namely DW-1 and DW-2. DW-1, Dr.S.Juvagridam Victor, has stated that the accused underwent treatment in the Government Medical College Hospital, Tirunelvei between 05.08.2002 and 18.10.2013 as out-patient for schizophrenia. EX-D1 is the prescription issued in the said hospital. DW-2, Dr.M.B.Abdul Rahman, has stated that on 14.06.2013, as per the order of the Court, he forwarded the accused to the Government Mental Hospital, Kilpauk, Chennai. EX-D2 to EX-D5 are the medical records. The defence of the accused was a total denial. Having considered all the above materials, the Trial Court convicted the appellant, as detailed in the first paragraph of this Judgment and punished him accordingly. That is how, the appellant is now before this Court with this Criminal Appeal.
3. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent and also perused the records carefully.
4. As we have already pointed out, in this case, the prosecution mainly relies on the eye-witness account of PW-1. PW-2 and PW-3, who have been examined as eye-witnesses to speak about the occurrence, have turned hostile and they have not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner. Thus, the prosecution has been left only with the evidence of PW-1, the mother of the deceased.
5. It is contended by the learned counsel for the appellant that the presence of PW-1, at the time of occurrence, is doubtful. But, we are not persuaded by the said argument at all. PW-1 has explained that she had come to the house of her daughter and stayed with her. Thus, her presence cannot be doubted. It is her further evidence that the accused, who had gone out, did not return at all. The deceased and PW-1 were, therefore, sleeping inside the house. At 02.00 AM, the accused came, knocked at the door violently and entered into the house. The deceased shouted at him. The accused questioned her as to why she did not give money to him to purchase tablets. It was in the said quarrel, the accused took out an aruval and cut the deceased indiscriminately. According to the medical evidence, the death of the deceased was due to the multiple injuries found on the body of the deceased. Thus, from the evidence of PW-1 and the medical evidence, the prosecution has clearly established that it was this accused, who cut the deceased with aruval, which resulted in her death.
6. The learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the accused was suffering from schizophrenia. But, from the evidence available on record it is not clear as to whether the appellant was actually suffering from schizophrenia at the time of occurrence and as to whether he was unable to understand the consequence of his act, as required under Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code. DW-1 has stated that the accused was suffering from schizophrenia, during the year 2002 to 2013. But, it is not known as to whether the accused was unable to understand the consequence of his act. As we have already pointed out, there is no clear evidence by DW-1.
7.DW-2 has stated that as directed by the Court, he forwarded the accused to the Government Mental Hospital, Kilpauk, Chennai. But, the doctor, who treated him at the said hospital, has not been examined. During cross-examination, he has stated that he was not sure as to whether the accused was really suffering from such mental disease and whether he was unable to understand the consequence of his act. Thus, though there is some evidence that the accused was suffering from some kind of mental illness, there is no clear evidence as to what was his mental condition at the time of occurrence. Thus, in our considered view, the Trial Court was right in rejecting the defence of the accused taken under Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code. Thus, we do not find any infirmity in the conclusion arrived at by the Trial Court. Therefore, we hold that the act of the accused would not fall under Section 84 of the Indian Penal Code. It squarely falls within the Third Limb of Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code.
8. The learned counsel for the appellant would further submit that the act of the accused would not amount to murder. We are fully convinced with the said argument. From the narration of the facts, it is clear that there was no enmity or ill-feeling between the accused and the deceased. The accused came very late in the night. The deceased questioned the same. This resulted in a quarrel. It was only in the quarrel, the deceased, provoked by the words and deeds of the deceased and having lost his self-control, had attacked the deceased. Thus, the act of the accused would squarely fall within the First Exception to Section 300 of the Indian Penal Code. Therefore, the accused is liable to be punished under Section 304(i) of the Indian Penal Code.
9. Now, turning to the quantum of punishment, as we have already pointed out, the occurrence was not a premeditated one. It was out of sudden quarrel. The accused has got no bad antecedents. He is hardly aged about 35 years. He was also sufffering from some kind of mental illness. Having regard to all these mitigating and aggravating circumstances, we are of the considered view that sentencing the accused to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/-, in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for four weeks would meet the ends of justice.
The conviction and sentence imposed by the Trial Court on the accused/appellant under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code is set aside and instead, the accused/appellant is convicted under Section 304(i) of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- [Rupees One Thousand only], in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for four weeks.
It is directed that the period of sentence already undergone by the appellant/accused shall be set off under Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

It’s far more straightforward, but requires a lot more manual effort. Basically, these companies send cars out to drive up and down every street in the country and log WiFi IP addresses as well as their physical location to populate the same table that more traditional geolocation companies build through technical means. Google and Skyhook both use this approach.

Art therapy is a profession in the mental health field that integrates the field of human development and uses creative arts to help individuals or groups improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Hospitals and rehabilitation centers have been incorporating art therapy with their traditional psychotherapy programs since the 1940s. Individuals receiving art therapy in our Utah clinic can select from a variety of materials such as paint or clay to interact with to symbolically express the depth and intensity of emotional pain. A therapist might ask them to draw a picture of their family to help illicit unhealthy family dynamics such as communication issues or relationship problems. In another approach to art therapy, you may view pieces of art, and then talk with a therapist about what you see. Your Utah art therapist will use pictures, art supplies, visual symbols, and an understanding of human behavior to help address personal concerns and conflicts.
Who Can Use Utah Art Therapy Programs?
Art therapy can be beneficial for individuals of all ages and can be found in a variety of settings such as hospitals, community mental health centers, correctional facilities, nursing homes, schools, disaster relief centers, and drug and alcohol rehab programs. Groups of people struggling with a similar issue may create a mural to stimulate group discussion about a certain issue or to talk about coping strategies. Likewise, art therapy can be used on senior citizens in nursing homes to help come to terms with aging, grief, and fear of death.
Utah art therapy has been shown to benefit those with; mental health issues, eating disorders, emotional disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, PTSD, autism, and other addictions, relationship issues, family issues, those suffering from trauma or loss, coping with physical, emotional, and cognitive difficulties related to a disability or medical illness.
Music Health Therapy is similar in function and application to art therapy. Our Utah music health therapy is a clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish therapeutic goals, promote healing, and enhance the quality of life. Scientific studies have shown that music benefits the mind, body, and spirit of people of ALL ages.
What is Music Health Therapy?
It is widely recognized that sounds can deeply affect the human psyche, such as the sound of the ocean, a summer downpour, the sound of a distant bird singing in the morning, or a chorus of crickets resonating through the stillness of dark. Music (or melodic sounds) has a similar power. Listening to music can stir happy memories, lower heartbeats, relax the nerves, lull to sleep, or melt away depression, and this is the purpose of music health therapy. To take specific musical performances that have been psychologically matched to benefit the human mind, and influence a particular physical reaction. When these patterns of music have been analyzed and configured into specific therapy sessions, a wide range of changes can occur within the body.
Music health therapy has been established as a solution to address the social, emotional, mental, and physical needs in people’s lives, when administered by a trained music therapist. In a therapeutic context, specific music has been analyzed, tested, and determined to bring about the desired benefits for the patient.
Music health therapy can be assisted with intervention counseling or used in conjunction with other rehabilitation programs with the goal of strengthening the inner person and having that strength translates to real world situations. Scientifically based music health therapy protocols will go beyond the reach of creative art therapies. It begins with sounds and music that have been analyzed and proven to have therapeutic benefits. The listening therapy sessions are based on specific therapeutic protocols, are customized with artificial intelligence algorithms, and recorded with high-quality sound to target a specific psychophysiological response.
How Does Music Health Therapy Work in Our Utah Center?
Our therapist will first assess the client to determine their specific needs, and then formulate a plan using music-based interventions within the therapeutic relationship, such as improvisation, composition, re-creative or receptive experiences to help achieve unique goals and objectives.
In a music health therapy session designed to promote self-expression, the therapist might create a musical and emotional environment that encourages you to respond by revealing personal experiences or feelings. Using music can help people not only discover long-forgotten emotions but to also help them understand, control, and express those emotions in a healthy way. Clients in our Utah music health therapy program can use various methods of musical expression such as: music improvisation, receptive music listening, song writing, lyric discussion, music and imagery, music performance, and learning through music.
How we feel and how we react to situations depends on the levels of certain brain chemical or levels of nervous system operations. Cortisol, which is a stress hormone, and endorphins, which produce a state of happiness or feelings of well-being, and dopamine which also chemically supports positive feelings are all regulated by the brain and can be enhanced with music.
Music releases these chemicals that affect mood, along with the way that we handle stress and conflict. The negative physical responses that accompany depressed moods, anxiety, and other mental/emotional challenges present themselves physically with increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, clenched teeth, appetite loss, furrowed eyebrows, sleepiness, butterflies in the stomach, and so forth.
Music can affect brain chemicals in such a way that negative responses are overcome. Instead, a sense of peace, calm, clear thinking, and hopefulness will result from the interplay between the brain and the rhythmic beats or soothing sounds that music provides. Music has a positive physical effect, can uplift moods, and calm nervous physical reactions.
From the time we are infants, our brains are wired to process and respond to music. Mothers from all time periods and cultures have used lullabies and rocking movements to calm fussy babies. Rhythm has been shown to be beneficial. When music input enters our ears, some of the input goes to the brain for processing, while other input heads right to the motor nerves in the spine. This allows muscles to respond to the rhythm without having to think about it – this is called entrainment. Our muscles, including heart muscle, automatically synchronize to the beat. We can use entrainment to our advantage, for example, we can play classical music at 70 beats a minute to slow a heart that is beating too fast. Music health therapy can be used to reveal subconscious thoughts and feelings, thereby, allowing music to be therapeutic in the same way that psychotherapy can be.
Music health therapy interventions are based on individual assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing evaluation, frequently functioning as members of an interdisciplinary team. Pathways Utah art and music therapist hold masters level educational degrees and are certified to work in their field. The art and music therapists utilize interventions with individuals or in a group setting that display a vast continuum of needs, from the reduction of anxiety, rehabilitation of speech, sensory, gross, or fine motor skills, to psycho-social, emotional, spiritual and wellness needs.

For anyone who has loved, lost or found it hard to let go, CARRY YOU will make you laugh, cry and celebrate your best friends. Perfect for fans of Marian Keyes and Jo Jo Moyes.
Daisy has lost her mum to breast cancer. She’s at rock bottom and doesn’t think she’ll ever get back up again. Her best friend Abi has other ideas – she tells it like it is and she’s determined to make Daisy remember the person she used to be.
I’ll be honest, when I read the synopsis for this book I saw the word cancer and wasn’t sure if this book was going to offer me the kind of happy escapism I was looking for at this point for a range of reasons. But as reviewers we of course read all kinds of books so I put my personal preferences to one side and started reading.
I thought this book would be depressing, but actually it is a very funny and thoughtful novel. Daisy might be at ‘rock bottom’ but she knows it, she is very witty throughout the novel and she is starting to (or being forced by her friend Abi) to emerge from the darkest days of grief when we meet her. Daisy knows she can’t sit indoors at her friend’s house all the time with Notting Hill on repeat, but getting her out and about again is somewhat of a task for Abi.
Daisy is such a likeable character, sometimes when a character is constantly witty in a novel it can feel a bit forced, but this was effortlessly natural and came through very strongly through the internal dialogue. I realised with her how grief can affect someone in so many different ways. I felt her struggle to start living again rather than existing, but this was done in such a way as not to focus too heavily on her mum’s illness and passing, just enough to keep it meaningful but not too sad.
I enjoyed the focus on and build up to Daisy and Abi doing the moon walk, bringing with it various training predicaments and partners. Abi is also an interesting character; she is an amazing friend, but there’s enough secrecy to make you wonder what is really going on in her life as well as being somewhat of an angel to Daisy. There is also some conflict with Daisy’s family relating to inheritance. This offered an interesting sub-plot and I enjoyed how what I thought would be the predictable outcome didn’t actually happen.
There’s also of course a love interest or two, and I don’t want to give anything away but just to say I thought both possible matches were great in what they offered to the story and moving it forward. The final pairing is such a beautiful couple, I loved that we very slowly learn more and more about the man in question but love him from the very beginning, one of my favourite male leads in a long time.
That sounds really good, I have the book and can't wait to read it!
This is a Must Read. Not only for myself but for my daughters also. Plus it just might make my chemo sessions not so long and awful.

This chapter sets out what must be considered when an asylum seeker or refused asylum seeker requests care and support from social services and when a local authority will be able to refer such a person to the Home Office for asylum support.
When an asylum seeker presents with an appearance of need, they must be assessed in the usual way under the Care Act 2014 and provided with care and support if they have eligible needs. Whilst an asylum seeker is waiting for their decision from the Home Office or final determination following any appeals against a refusal they are not subject to any exclusion from social services’ support, so eligibility for care and support will be established solely on the outcome of the needs assessment.
Port of entry refused asylum seekers are not excluded (unless they have been refused and have failed to comply with removal directions), so the provision of care and support will be established solely on the outcome of the needs assessment; a human rights assessment is not required.
In-country refused asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers who have failed to comply with removal directions (whether port or in-country claimants) are in an excluded group, so the local authority can only provide care and support if this is necessary to prevent a breach of their human rights, and will determine this by carrying out a human rights assessment as well as a needs assessment.
Local authorities can only refer an asylum seeker or refused asylum seeker to the Home Office for accommodation without undertaking a needs assessment when the person has presented without an appearance of need.
An asylum seeker or refused asylum seeker who has presented with an appearance of need, and therefore requires a Care Act needs assessment, can only be referred to the Home Office for support when the relevant assessments have been completed and the local authority has determined that there is no duty to provide assistance. If interim care and support, including housing, has been provided under section 19(3) pending the outcome of the assessment, then it would be good practice for the local authority to assist the person to apply for asylum support and can use NRPF Connect to communicate with the Home Office to ensure the application is processed as quickly as possible.
When an asylum seeker or refused asylum seeker is already accommodated by the Home Office at the time of presentation to the local authority, then the suitability of this accommodation, in terms of the person’s well-being and enabling the person’s care and support needs to be met, will need to be considered if the person has eligible needs.
A person with a pending asylum or Article 3 human rights application (or appeal) may apply for support from the Home Office under section 95 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 when they are destitute (have no accommodation and/or cannot afford to meet their essential living needs).
They can also apply for emergency support from the Home Office under section 98 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and may receive this support whilst the Home Office make a final decision on their application for section 95 asylum support.
For single people, housing is usually provided in shared accommodation and financial support (subsistence) will be provided through a card which can be used in shops and to withdraw cash. A person who has accommodation may request subsistence support only.
Support will continue to be provided until the asylum claim is finally determined following any appeals the person has lodged. When the person is granted leave to remain or becomes ‘appeal rights exhausted’ following an unsuccessful claim, they will be issued with 21 days’ notice to leave their accommodation.
require support to avoid a breach of their human rights, for example they have made further submissions for a fresh asylum claim.
The support provided comprises of accommodation and subsistence, which is intended to cover the costs of food, clothing and toiletries, through a card which can be used in shops but not to withdraw cash. Subsistence support cannot be provided independently of accommodation.


text: The history of Rodda Paint actually began in 1930 at Rasmussen Paint Company in Portland, Oregon. It was at Russmussen Paint that Art Rodda and Morey Braden first met. Art was the Superintendent and Morey in the factory. In 1931 Rasmussen Paint combined with two other companies to become General Paint Co. In 1932, Art Rodda left General Paint to join Chet Peterson and began Peterson/Rodda Paint Co. Morey joined them in the venture. In 1934 Chet Peterson sold his stake of the company to Art Rodda. It was then the company became known as Rodda Paint Company exclusively.The war economy created many opportunities for Rodda Paint, providing the environment to experience what would be the first of many expansions with the purchase of both Fisher Paint and CDM Paint.

This book tells the poetic story of Jelly Roll Morton in a creative way. When he was a baby, his godmother, a voodoo queen, put a spell on him and then got arrested with him when he was just a baby. Music is the only thing that can stop him from crying in jail, and later in life he learns to play the piano so well that he’s playing with the grown-ups in bars. He is thrown out of his house because his great-grandmother doesn’t want a lowlife musician in her home, but he goes back to the one thing that can make his crying stop: music. He invents jazz with a recipe for something sweet, spicy, smooth, bluesy, and something special. And even if he didn’t invent it, he spells it throughout all the towns.

Going way back . . . I grew up on a conventional row crop farm in Blytheville, AR. My dad grew cotton, soybeans, corn, and occasionally milo. I loved to play in cotton fields, watch wheat fields burning off at dusk, and see crop dusters perform their dramatic air shows over the fields of the Delta. I swore I would never marry a farmer. Well, never say never. I married my first husband in 1997, and we continued farming and added rice to the mix of crops. We had two boys, Jacob and Crafton.
Over in the hills of central Arkansas, Alan grew up on a dairy farm. When his father sold their cows his senior year of high school, Alan swore he would NEVER have cows again. Like I said, never say never. He established his own commercial herd of cattle in his mid 20's. He married his first wife Angela (yes, we have the same name lol!), began his career as a general contractor and owner of Mahan Construction, and had two children, Zack and Maggie.
Fast forward to 2013 after a lot of life happened. I was a widow, he was divorced, and we married and became one big happy blended family at Rabbit Ridge.
Soon after, Alan and I bought a group of heifers to add to his herd and we began Rabbit Ridge Cattle. We assumed we would continue raising cattle like most people do in this area. Well, after some unexpected changes to the operation, we realized we needed to look at things differently . . . we wanted to look at things differently. How could we maximize the use of the property that we owned depending only upon our resources to raise our animals? Around the same time we made the decision that we did not want to purchase any more meat from the grocery store. We also took a long look at our lives and decided that we wanted to earn our living primarily from the farm and cut back dramatically from the construction business. Look at this place! How could we not want to spend more time together and time together here on the farm?
I'm not sure if we are crazy smart or just crazy, but we dove right in. First we changed the name from Rabbit Ridge Cattle to Rabbit Ridge Farms to better reflect our operation. We expanded our farm to include pigs and chickens, we cut back on our cattle herd, and began selling cuts of meats to consumers. We began with half and whole animals, but quickly moved to selling individual cuts from the many freezers we have at our home. There was such a great response we soon realized that we would need to have a retail space, but a typical store didn't seem to fit (we don't seem to be typical in any sort of way!). After much thought we knew that we needed to build on the farm and The Venue was born. Here we can do it all . . . have a retail store for our customers, have more space for our stock, have a large beautiful space to host anything from intimate farm to table dinners to large festivals with live music, rent the space to others who would like to have their wedding, training, corporate event, educational experience, retreat, you name it and we can do it. And the best part is that we get to do it together. The Venue is now the heart of the farm and the place where we both get to do the things we love. I love to make things pretty and inviting. Alan loves to host. We both love to cook. He loves to share with people about the farm and the animals. I love to encourage folks how they can make healthier choices. We both love the farm, and we love to share it with others. I look forward to sharing more about the happenings at Rabbit Ridge!
Love you, girl; so happy for you! You do Mississippi County proud!
Had my first experience at the Venue for a 4-H Banquet. It definitely won't be my last. The food was remarkable, I can't say enough about it. I enjoyed everything about the Venue. Alan and Angela are certainly making a name for Van Buren County.
