The rumble of Humvees and the buzz of choppers are already commonplace to the neighbors of this elite Army base in the rolling hills north of Dahlonega. Some worry they are about to become a lot more frequent if a North Georgia lawmaker's late legislative push succeeds.
The Army wants to take over a 282-acre swath of land that it leases from the Forest Service to train Army Rangers. After two decades of negotiations didn't yield a deal, Gainesville Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins stepped in with an amendment to a defense bill that gives the Army the land.
Now environmental groups are worried that an expanded military presence could threaten pristine forestland, pollute churning streams and restrict access to the popular web of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails that criscross the area.
What makes this fight particularly unusual is the Forest Service's public outing of its concerns with the military takeover. The agency says Collins' push will cast aside 60 years of cooperation with the military over the land and that any changes should be hashed out by the two sides and not in Congress.
The Army, meanwhile, is firmly backing the land transfer as it heads toward the Senate. Maj. Gen. H.R. McMaster, the commanding general of Fort Benning, wrote a letter to Collins aide Vernon Robinson saying: "I greatly appreciate the legislation and your willingness to assist the Army."
The opposition to the Army move can seem perplexing in a region that has always had strong ties to the military. Dahlonega, a roughly 20-minute trip down the road, is home to the Military College of Georgia, and uniformed soldiers stroll side-by-side with tourists in the town square.
But the respect for the military is running up against something equally fierce. The hikers and bikers who flock to the area cherish the relative calm of the woods and worry about smacking into a military transport or happening across target practice at the wrong time.
Something that cropped up in a dozen interviews with opponents is a fear that the Army is building the foundation for a vast new base in the forest. David Govus, a 67-year-old retired grading contractor who lives nearby, uses the term "mission creep," a reference to military missions that have steadily expanded in scope.
"Listen, I've never served. And I'm not anti-military. But enough is enough," said Govus. "They've got huge military bases all over the country. So what gives? Why do they need more land?"
The answer from supporters: It's not the land they need, but the right to improve it without Forest Service approval. Collins said the Forest Service has delayed projects such as tree trimming and sewer maintenance for additional studies that have cost taxpayers at least $3 million.
The Forest Service said it did not know where that figure came from. Judy Toppins, public affairs officer for the Chattahoochee National Forest, said, "Our employees work efficiently and diligently to meet (the Army's) sometimes complex needs."
The two government departments could have agreed to a land swap, and Collins said they were close last year, when the Forest Service could have scored some prime property bordering Lake Lanier. But Collins said the Army balked when the Forest Service asked for an additional $10 million to pay for buildings on the new property.
Toppins said negotiations fell apart because the swap was not "mutually beneficial." She said the Forest Service has no official position on the Collins bill but wants to work out a deal under existing law.
Toppins said the Forest Service was not aware of Collins' amendment until shortly before it passed last month, with no debate. It was submitted in a flood of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act and passed in a voice vote on the floor.
A common thread in opponents' concerns is that because it was slipped in as an amendment, they weren't given a chance to weigh in on the proposal. Frank Gilkeson, a 71-year-old local advocate who lives in the nearby woods, said Collins is betraying his roots as a small-government advocate who often champions the need for less regulation.
"He acts like he doesn't care or need to know what anyone else thinks," said Gilkeson, who said the congressman was behaving in an "undemocratic" manner.
Collins disputed the notion that his amendment was a surprise. "We've been very transparent in what we're doing," Collins said. "We have not tried to hide a thing."
Georgia Republican U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss say they have no plans to introduce similar legislation in their chamber, but Collins said he will work to get the bill into law while continuing to mediate the dispute.
"We're still open to work with Forestry, but after 20 years I think it's time to get something like this done," Collins said. "We'll work with all concerned parties."
Collins said he has the support of the local community, from Dahlonega Mayor Gary McCullough to area state legislators. He said environmental concerns are overblown because the transfer would trigger an evaluation under the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Army would have to comply with federal wildlife and water quality rules.
One of the Army's worries is security, and a recent trip to the camp showed why. The Forest Service roads that criscross the installation offer relatively free access inside. On one venture inside the camp's fenceless perimeter, a visitor went unchallenged as soldiers nearby rappeled down a wall and practiced formations in a grassy field.
Outside the base, neighbors point out signs of wear-and-tear on winding roads, though it's uncertain how much came from soldiers and how much from visitors. Deep ruts in the dirt paths make some roads almost impassable, shattered cans from target practices dot the landscape and clearings that neighbors say have been used for helicopter drops abruptly break the forest.
Some people say the Army may get more than it bargains for if it succeeds in acquiring this land. Lt. Col. Sam Booher, a 71-year-old Army retiree who trained at the camp in the 1960s, said the Army has no business taking control of forestland.
"Is the Army in the business of preventing erosion? Is the Army going to start sending in armed people to prevent poachers?" asked Booher, a Vietnam veteran. "They're going to get a lot of new responsibility if this passes."
Not all locals share his concern, though. Dennis Fortner is the pastor of Mt. Zion Church, a tiny white chapel that sits on a hill overlooking the base. With each new batch of soldiers, his pews are suddenly packed with 50, 60 soldiers. And he relishes the chance to preach to a greater flock if the camp does expand.
"It's a blessing for them to be there," he said. "On my end, the more people who come through, the more good we can do."

After working as an Administrator, PA and Office Manager for 16 years, I realised I’m an Entrepreneur at heart. I LOVED helping others but craved the freedom of working for myself, choosing my hours and running my own business. I look at other people doing the same with pure envy that they had taken the leap and their life into their own hands, so why shouldn’t I do the same?
Ta da, here I am starting my very own business as a Virtual Assistant, using all of the skills and knowledge I have acquired over the years, doing the things I absolutely LOVE….. helping others, being super organised, meeting new people, working from various coffee shops (any excuse for a large cappuccino) and developing new skills whenever and wherever I can along the way.
This is just the beginning of my VA journey. I’m excitedly working my socks off to build up a clientele of like-minded, passionate individuals.

In a lecture I heard some years ago, a philosopher asserted that science tries to answer the question ‘how’, while philosophy tries to answer the question ‘why’. In looking at the corpus of work produced by academics and practitioners on finance, it seems to me that most, if not all, are trying to answer the ’how’ question, but almost none attempt to answer the ‘why’ question. I think this is because finance as a discipline sees itself as an extension of economics; and economics, since the nineteenth century work of French economists such as Walras1 and later of Marshall2 , has been seen in essence as a science, and therefore this preoccupation with the ‘how’ question is a result of a spillover of that assumption.
Scientists, of course, would find the idea of a science that relies on the concept of ‘externalities’ and an attempted aggregation of individuals’ often disparate behaviours and mood shifts to explain why the laws postulated by this science do not seem to work dynamically or universally, somewhat baffling. In his book The Origin of Wealth, Eric Beinhocker relates a meeting between economists and scientists in the mid 1990’s in Santa Fe. What the scientists found most fascinating was how economists took a snapshot of science in the late nineteenth century, applied it to their discipline, then evolved this discipline with scant regards to the huge advances made in science thereafter. Economics as a discipline has therefore developed within the confines of how science saw the world at that point in time, while science moved on. Thus, economists still talk of ’equilibrium’ – in 1880 all the rage in physics – while scientists today talk of entropy, for example. Perhaps there is also still a misreading of Adam Smith where many students of economics read The Wealth of Nations, but pay less attention to his The Theory of Moral Sentiments which contextualises it, and so fail to place Smith within the context of the moral philosophy of the eighteenth century that believed in the rationality of humans.
The object of this article is not to enter this debate. In the interest of common sense, and because how we perceive economics has a direct bearing on how we perceive financial theory, I would point out that we are all perfectly comfortable in boarding a metal tube with wings to fly because we are confident that outside the context of quantum mechanics, the laws of Newtonian physics, will always apply in the same way and are never affected by ’externalities’. However, I would venture that no one would do the same if the laws affecting flight were as ill-fitting, and with the constantly-shifting outcomes, as the laws of economics. Common sense, therefore, tells us the laws of physics are constant, observable and universal, and observation tells us the ’laws’ of economics are not. To my mind this argues that we should stop treating economics, and indeed financial theory, as a science and go back to treating it as part of political philosophy. Perhaps by re-examining the ideas of the nineteenth century economist Bastiat’s notion of the ’full picture’3 , we begin to make sense of the failures seen in the financial markets in the context of what we can observe today.

Nepal has become the first country in south-east Asia to eliminate trachoma, world's leading cause of preventable blindness of infectious origin validated by the World Health Organisation (WHO).Trachoma was the second leading cause of preventable blindness in the Himalayan nation in the 1980s. The Government of Nepal started efforts to eliminate the disease in 2002 with the establishment of a national trachoma programme. with the establishment of a national trachoma programme.
Trachoma is a chronic infective disease of the eye and is the leading cause of infective blindness globally. Trachoma is a disease of poor environmental and personal hygiene and inadequate access to water and sanitation.
It affects the conjunctiva under the eyelids. Repeated infections cause scarring leading to in-turning of the eyelashes and eyelids. This further causes damage to the cornea and blindness.The infection is particularly common among children.
The disease puts more than 190 million people in 41 countries at the risk of blindness. It is responsible for the blindness or visual impairment of around 1.9 million people worldwide.

Monica Henderson, an activist for women's equality, marches for equal rights for all.
January 21st, 2018, marked the day in which thousands of men and women of all ethnicities, colors, backgrounds, and beliefs gathered at in front of the City-County in building in Pittsburgh to march for equality.
"We're here to march for equality," said Monica Henderson. "I think that whether your a man or women, gay or straight, black or white, you deserve the same rights."
The idea was to come out and raise awareness of the idea that everyone deserves to be treated equally in today's world, however, there was more to this march.
"Most of us marching today believe that a lot of the hatred in our country comes from many different places, but the fact that our president seems to be the stem to a lot of the hatred we see is despicable," said Linda McQueen.
That's right, a majority of today's march was focused on Trump- the man who is suppose to be the leader of our country. However, to all the individuals marching today, Trump has made a travesty of his presidency with his disgraceful comments and actions.
"This is the guy we are supposed to look up to, but the things that he says and does on a daily basis creates so much tension amongst all races, genders, religions, and ethnicities that it feels impossible to believe that we even have a president in office," said Maddie Hardcastle.
It is hard to debate Hardcastle's beliefs on Trump and the mockery he has made of what it means to be a US President, but today is a day that Pittsburgh has united. Whether you have different ideas or beliefs than the person sitting next to you or not, it's much easier to work together than to put up a fight. Where we all learned in high school math that two negatives make a positive, we might find that two, unlike minds, can create a greater impact.

Quiz: Are You Keeping Your Hair Young and Healthy Looking?
Home > Appearance > Quiz: Are You Keeping Your Hair Young and Healthy Looking?
The focus for anti-ageing often falls on skin and body with many people ignoring their hair. People will spend a lot of money purchasing expensive creams and having treatments for their skin, as well as procedures and activities for keeping their body looking trim and toned and youthful – but spend little if any time on their hair. If you add this to the fact that a lot of hair has to withstand harsh ‘attacks’ from heating implements, dry atmospheres, environmental irritants and pollutants as well as physical stress (eg, tight buns, constant cap use) – it is little surprise that so many people complain of dull, lacklustre, thinning hair.
However, having a full head of thick, shiny, healthy hair is one of the key aspects to looking youthful and attractive. So are you doing everything you can to make sure that your hair remains looking young and healthy?
1) How often do you blow dry your hair?
2) What are your sleeping habits?
3) Have you ever permed your hair?
4) How much exercise do you do?
5) Have you ever dyed your hair?
6) How would you describe your diet?
7) What hair styling products do you use?
9) How stressed do you feel?
10) Do you drink a lot of coffee or other drinks high in caffeine?
Heating implements and styling appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners and curlers, can cause damage to your hair shaft and result in dull, dry, lifeless, frizz hair. You can prevent this by limiting the amount of heat your hair is exposed to – for example, letting your hair partly dry naturally before using the hairdryer and holding the tool further away from your head. Also, try to use the lowest possible setting needed to achieve the look.
Try to avoid using hair dryers or straighteners every day but if you must use them regularly, consider investing in hair protection products such as heat-activated leave-in conditioners, as well as periodic deep conditioning treatments. However, these products can only protect up to a point and excessive frequent heat will still cause damage, regardless of how much product is applied. Note also that excessive use of leave-in products can cause hair to become limp and greasy. Remember also that using very hot water to wash your hair can have a similar damaging effect.
Erratic sleep patterns and sleep deprivation can lead to brittle hair and even accelerated hair loss. While everyone needs different optimal amounts of sleep, most people will benefit from 6-8 hours daily and a regular routine. Not only does sleep contribute to healthy, beautiful hair, it also reduces stress levels and enables your body to repair and regenerate.
Regardless of the skill of the hairdresser and the condition of your hair prior to treatment, any perm is guaranteed to cause damage to your hair. It is just impossible to apply a chemical treatment to hair – especially one as powerful as that needed to break the natural bonds and texture – without causing damage. This does not mean that you should never perm your hair but it is something to be aware of – and perhaps consider limiting the number of perms or using alternatives, such as curling irons or rollers or even hair attachments for a more temporary transformation.
We all know that regular exercise is vital to our well-being and hair is no exception. Why? Because exercise boosts circulation, which in turn ensures healthy hair. In fact, hair condition is often a barometer of overall physical health.
You do not have to be a gym junkie to have lustrous hair – just ensuring that you do some form of exercise for at least 20-30mins a day, three times a week, will make a huge difference.
Like perming, dyeing your hair involves applying chemicals which will invariably damage your hair. In particular, changing from a dark hair colour to a lighter one requires first bleaching the dark colour out of the hair shafts, before introducing the new colour and this is a very harsh treatment. Studies have even suggested that heavy use of hair dye may cause cancer in some people.
Naturally, deciding to dye your hair is a personal choice and you will have to weigh up the risks but it may be a good idea to limit exposure to hair dyes – perhaps take a break from dyeing and revert to your natural colour for a while or use gentler treatments, such as henna-based products which are plant-based and believed to be safer.
therefore a poor quality, unbalanced diet will likely show up first in dry, brittle, dull, lifeless hair. Using the best hair care products in the world will not make much difference if you are not nourishing your hair from the inside. Aside from eating a balanced diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables, studies show that eating good sources of protein, such as fish, eggs, beans and soya (tofu) can help to promote hair growth.
Less is more. Applying too many styling products can actually make hair look worse – weighing it down, making it greasy and limp. At least once a week, wash your hair thoroughly (and rinse very well) to remove all traces of product build-up and then allow your hair at least one day completely free from products to “breathe” and recover. You may be surprised at the results from allowing your hair to go completely “au naturel” for a while.
There’s no beating about the bush: smoking kills your hair. There have been conclusive studies which show that smoking restricts blood flow and damages capillaries – it accelerates hair loss and premature greying of the hair. No long-term smoker has healthy, beautiful hair.
Stress affects us adversely in many ways and hair is no exception. Stress can have a direct effect, such as oily scalps, but it can also cause other symptoms such as poor sleep and appetite which then have an indirect effect on hair health. Find ways to manage your stress and not only your hair but your whole body will thank you for it.
Just like nicotine, caffeine can wreak havoc with your hair health. So consider cutting back if you are not able to eliminate it from your diet entirely.
Having beautiful healthy hair is about more than just having expensive salon visits and using expensive hair products – it is also about adopting healthy habits which nourish and protect your hair from within and without.

TORRANCE MEMORIAL RECEIVES MAGNET DESIGNATION AGAIN.
Magnet® Designation is granted by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and awarded to health care organizations that exhibit the highest standards in the delivery of excellent patient care and professional nursing practice. Only 6% of hospitals in the U.S. have this designation. Torrance Memorial Medical Center received its first Magnet® Designation in 2011, and in August 2016 got the great news that redesignation for Magnet had been granted.
The impetus to reach for Magnet® originated in 2006 and was the vision of Peggy Berwald, RN, MSN, NEA-BC, senior vice president of patient services and chief nursing officer, says Luhrsen. “Part of the process in pursuing Magnet® is to conduct a gap analysis to see where improvements can be made in a variety of areas such as recruitment, staff retention and patient care. We found areas we wanted to improve on such as implementing nursing research, building a shared decision-making structure, and promoting professional development by encouraging and supporting nurses to become nationally certified in their specialties. We began to incorporate these findings to strengthen our practices in these areas in preparation for our first application for Magnet®, which consisted of 2,500 pages of documentation that addressed approximately 80 standards,” says Maricarmen Luhrsen, MSN, RN, NEA-BC, Magnet® Recognition Program Coordinator at Torrance Memorial.

Actually, no. We prefer to keep things as natural as possible, and we find that most guests are only in their room to sleep at night. For those guests who would prefer AC, we have portable units for rent at a nominal, nightly fee.
Besides the obvious, is there anything special we should pack?
camera – the view and wildlife are extraordinary!
As many of our guests favor a non-smoking holiday environment, we have introduced ‘smoking areas’ around the Resort. Please step away from others, and no smoking in any building (rooms, cabins, Lounge, Dome or under any gazebo, including in the hot tub, as per Ontario law). As well, please move away from doors and windows, as smoke can and will blow inside. Please help us to keep our Resort clean and natural: Use ashtrays and cans that are provided throughout the Resort for cigarette butts.
If it is evident that there was smoking in a room (including bathrooms) a $250 recovery fee to cover the cost of restoring the room to a smoke free condition will be levied.
We have an ATV/motor boat. Can we bring it with us?
Sure, feel free to bring along your trailered leisure craft, but please respect the natural beauty that is Footprints. No motorized boats (including JetSkis) on our small lake, nor ATV’s on our property. There are plenty of larger lakes that can accommodate your boat, and trails to ride on. Check out our links to ATV clubs.
We are not a campground, but provide limited space for tents and small campers for those who prefer this option. There is one area that can accommodate several tents under dappled shade at one end of the property. BBQ’s and picnic tables are available, and shared washroom is a short walk away.
The second tent area is a flat, grassy area behind the room block, closer to the shared washrooms/showers. No vehicles allowed in this area.
RV’s and trailers will be parked next to The Dome, and hydro can be provided if needed but to reduce the strain on the system, use your own energy source if possible (propane, solar, etc). No water/dumping. Dump station is up the road.
How close is the closest store?
Bancroft is a scenic 12 minute drive from the Resort, and has everything you could need: grocery stores, liquor and beer stores, restaurants (fast food, family/pub style and fine dining), pharmacy, police station, retail shopping, banks and even a hospital.
No, we are a ‘self catering’ waterfront resort, which means bring your food with you and use our BBQ’s and kitchen to prepare your own meals. There are numerous restaurants, as well as grocery stores and liquor/beer stores in Bancroft, just minutes away if you’ve forgotten anything.
Sorry, but no, Footprints is an Adults Only, 21+ resort and reserved for adults.
Sorry, but no, pets of any kind are not permitted. Regretfully but Firmly.
What happens if we can’t arrive until very late at night?
For anyone arriving after dark, let us know by phone and we will leave a light on and the door open.
When you drive onto the property, follow the driveway in and to the right, park in the gravel parking area by the rock wall, and check in at the Lounge, the second building you see when arriving. You will be met there by your Host who will check you in, give you a tour and get you settled into your room.
Check Out: By 11am on day of departure. Late departure may be available, check with staff 24 hrs before.
24 Hr Check In is available: Let us know in advance.

The Flying Mandolinis all live on Vashon Island, WA. They perform exclusively on various instruments from the mandolin family. Even though each of them also participates in at least 2 other area bands, they have come together for 5 previous Strawberry festivals to find a creative outlet for their acoustic string music – AND to celebrate the joy of playing together, just for the FUN of it.
The Flying Mandolinis play a mix of original compositions, American standard covers, and World music. Rumors of their performing hanging upside down by the knees from a high wire stretched between the Hardware Store and the US Bank at a previous Strawberry Festival are highly unreliable, but Chris Anderson swears that their footprints can be seen in a cloggers' cluster on the ceiling of one corner of the Coop.
Paul Colwell, Jean Richstad, Jasper Forrester, Cliff Simpson, and Rochelle Munger play concert mandolin. Steve Amsden plays alto mandolin. Lawson Cannon plays octave mandolin. Dan Brown plays upright bass.

Dave and I ran into Ostrava this evening to do a few errands. Stopping at Hornbach, a building and garden supply store that we like to shop at, I was admiring their fall decorations.
Is it just me, or do you think that is so cheery looking?!
I remember when we moved here 25 years ago, there was not a pumpkin in sight as a decoration. But today, you can find them in many places and I like that!
But I turned my head in the other direction and what did I see??
Christmas trees and decorations being set up already!!
I've always enjoyed seasons here in Czech because in the past, you got to enjoy them until they were done. But now it seems, Christmas is already upon us...a full 11 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule!

A week in the wilds last summer reenergized Cheryl Irwin for teaching economics.
Her experiences in Yellowstone National Park came through an Indiana State University class that concentrated on democracy in action and the economic ramifications of different park policies.
"As a teacher of economics and geography, the experience at Yellowstone has renewed the excitement of teaching," said the West Vigo High School teacher. "The things we did and things we learned are much too long to list."
That list was due in part to Indiana State University's Center for Economic Education.
The center was founded during the 1960s after the national Council for Economic Education began in the 1950s.
"It was the idea that pre-college students could learn economics and it would be really good for the country for more people to have a better background than just those who took economics in college," said John Conant, ISU center director and economics chair.
Increasing foreclosures and bankruptcies have caused a rise in interest in economics and financial literacy, Conant said.
"The current fiscal environment makes it easier to convince people that it's important," he said.
Children in elementary school interact with economic concepts every day, including opportunity costs.
"At that age, economics is how you make good choices - what you do at recess or how you spend your allowance," he said. "You start them young so when they're older it is second nature. They think about the opportunity costs when making their decisions. They're more likely to follow through as an adult when the issues are more complex if they started that as a kid."
Chris McGrew, program consultant for the Indiana Council for Economic Education (CEE) and former social studies coordinator for the Indiana Department of Education, said understanding economics gives young people another set of tools to help them find a place in democratic society.
"Students will have more choices if they are able to navigate the complexity of our changing society," he said. "An economic way of thinking provides students with another way to make rational decisions about their own lives."
Since the 1960s, Indiana has remained on the forefront of economics education by encouraging elementary through high school teachers to incorporate economics into their lessons. Through the ISU center, summer classes are offered as well as after-school workshops. In the classes and workshops, teachers learn about new curriculums they can incorporate into their classes, as well as lessons and activities they can use.
Jean McCleary, a kindergarten teacher at Hoosier Prairie Elementary, took the summer class "Taking the Eek Out of Economics" and along with another teacher submitted and received a grant to develop a mini-economy in their classes.
"This year we received a continuation grant," she said. "In my classroom we talk about the economic terms, goods, services, wants and needs. We discuss coins and their values and learn how to trade pennies for a nickel."
Some classrooms use "Play Dough economics" in which students create products out of Play Dough to trade as part of lessons on the gross domestic product. Other lessons include incorporating economics through children's literature.
"You can integrate ideas across the curriculum," Conant said. "Almost all good children's literature has economic concepts in it. You can point out economics in them and use those while teaching language arts. Teachers can teach more than one subject at a time."
Irwin incorporated lessons learned in Yellowstone into her economics and geography classes.
"When I returned from Yellowstone I created large posters from my photographs to create interest in the classroom," she said about incorporating her trip to the crater of the super volcano. "I took information I received about the Yellowstone volcano, shared it with my senior economics classes and had them write papers on what they thought the economic implications would be if there was indeed a volcanic eruption. In my sophomore geography classes we discussed volcanoes and earthquakes."
Conant said that Yellowstone illustrates different economic concepts perfectly.
"Yellowstone National Park provides not only a really interesting, fun environment, but a real-world place that you can study the economic concepts as they are working themselves out, particularly through a public discourse and decision making over how these public assets should be used," he said.
McCleary said even students as young as her kindergartners can understand economic basics, and are eager for certain days.
"My students are excited about the mini economy we have in the room and love when it is buying day," she said. "I feel it is important that my students begin to get familiar with economic terms and our money system at the kindergarten level so that they can expand and build on their economic knowledge as they progress through the grades."
McGrew said there has been an increase in the number of teachers incorporating economics into their lessons, due in part to the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+).
"There has been a great deal of research that shows if content appears on a large-scale, high-stakes test like ISTEP+, teachers will begin teaching the content," he said. "If it is not on the test, they tend to ignore it, especially at the elementary levels."
Economic concepts are included in the ISTEP+ social studies testing occurring this month.
McGrew said there also has been a steady increase of teachers incorporating economics because of the council's work.
"Indiana is one of the leaders in incorporating economic concepts into K-8," he said. "Part of that has to do with our social studies standards including economics, but most of it has to do with the training and materials provided by the ICEE through centers like the ISU Center for Economic Education."
That training can benefit the classrooms.
"Many times reading from the textbook may provide necessary information but doesn't create excitement," Irwin said. "First-hand information and personal experience can add needed excitement to the classroom."
As part of that excitement, Irwin is now researching the possibilities of creating a program to take underprivileged students to Yellowstone during the summer of 2010.
Cutline: John Conant, Indiana State University, ISU Center for Economic Education director and economics chair, teaches a class on economics surrounding Yellowstone National Park.
Indiana State University's Center for Economic Education helps k-12 teachers with curriculum and lessons for teaching economics.

BRUSSELS - Southern Door County School District has won the Education Innovation Award from the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance. The award honors the district's work to advance technical education through collaborating with local manufacturers, according to the Southern Door County School District.
The district will receive the award Oct. 23 at the 7th Annual Excellence in Manufacturing/K-12 Partnership Awards in Green Bay sponsored by the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance.
“The technical education department at Southern Door has a long-standing tradition of excellence in preparing our youth for the trades, manufacturing, and engineering," said Southern Door County School District Superintendent Patti Vickman.
Innovative programs, including a race car program and the high school Fab Lab, engage students "in new career pathways," Vickman said.
"Such programs are made possible through strong partnerships that the district has fostered with local businesses and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College,” she said.

Practicing with a teacher privately (Home Yoga Classes in Bandra, Mumbai) allows you to tailor your session to your specific needs, such as dealing with an injury or health concern. I have studied yoga for backcare and have experience in using these therapeutic practices one-on-one.
Having a teacher customize your lessons gives you the space and time to gain greater understanding of challenging poses which have always seemed to elude you. (This can do wonders for your inversion and arm-balance practice.) So, we are giving Home Yoga Classes in Bandra, Mumbai. If you are new to yoga, private lessons can also help you build a strong foundation before diving into group classes.

A wasteful PSV Eindhoven had to come from behind to defeat De Graafschap 2-1 which keeps them level on points with leaders Ajax.
With goal difference possibly the deciding factor in the Eredivisie title race this season, PSV will have seen the clash with De Graafschap as a chance to close the gap on Ajax.
However, the home side made a slow start and only became dangerous in the 15th minute when Hirving Lozano raced in on goal but his strike hit the post and went wide.
In the 20th minute, Luuk de Jong found himself with space in the box but his finish was wild and into the side netting.
PSV were probing for the opener but in the 26th minute, Pablo Rosario lost the ball and Leeroy Owusu swung in a cross for Delano Burgzorg to head the visitors in front.
An equaliser was almost netted immediately but Denzel Dumfries strike was tipped onto the bar. Bergwijn then scuffed a shot wide before de Jong was off target with a free header.
De Graafschap came close to a second five minutes before the break but Serrarens could only fire wide when played in on goal. PSV went down the other end and Lozano was set up with an open goal but his strike went past the post. With the last chance of the first-half, Lozano had the ball in the net finally but it was disallowed for offside in the build-up.
Mark van Bommel decided to bring on Donyell Malen for the second half with Mohammed Ihattaren taken off. However, the opening of the second period was much like the first with PSV creating plenty of chances without finding the net. Rosario put a shot wide from the edge of the area while De Jong’s strike from point-blank range was straight at Nigel Bertrams.
In the 63rd minute, PSV were awarded a penalty for a foul on Lozano, Bergwijn confidently slotted in the spot-kick to finally make it 1-1.
Ten minutes later, PSV had the lead as Dumfries burst through on the right before crossing to De Jong, who slid the ball past Bertrams.
His 26th league goal of the season!
PSV failed to kill the game and with a minute left, De Graafschap almost equalised but Jeroen Zoet was aware to tip Daniel Schwaab’s attempted clearance over the bar.
PSV remain level with Ajax but have a much inferior goal difference. De Graafschap are 16th.

“This is a world issue and it requires all actors to work together”, Business Insider quoted Parkin as saying.
The company has previously taken several steps in its efforts to become more sustainable, and wind farms in Texas and Scotland already generate enough to power USA and U.K. Mars operations.
The $1 billion include investments in renewable energy (particularly in adding more wind farms in countries like Russia, China, Australia, and India), the food-supply chain (its pet-food brands Pedigree and Whiskas aren’t doing a stellar job sourcing sustainable fish right now), and farming (it’s set up groups like CocoaAction, an industry coalition that aims to make cocoa farming more environmentally sound).
“The only way that will happen is if we do things differently to ensure that the planet is healthy and all people in our supply chain are thriving”.
The plan, Mars said, would focus on a range of goals.
WRI recommended that Mars covered its entire value chain with the new carbon target, including emissions from land use-change. Mr. Reid said business needs to lead “transformational change” in order to tackle the most urgent threats facing the world. This continues on its current efforts around food safety and security; product and ingredient renovation; and responsible marketing.
Mr. Reid said Mars’ “Sustainable in a Generation Plan” is not just about doing better, but doing what is necessary. We’re doing this because it’s the right thing to do but also because it’s good business.
Mars, Inc., which manufactures M&Ms, Skittles and other popular sweets, told Business Insider that the company’s goal is to reduce its carbon footprint by 60 percent by the year 2050.
Mars will reveal plans to engage consumers through its M&M’s brand at the U.N. General Assembly later this month. The new campaign leverages Mars’ tremendous reach with consumers to champion the power of renewable energy and highlight the need for action in addressing climate change.
The company already purchases 100% renewable electricity to power all 12 of its United Kingdom factories and its USA facilities. “Mars was one of the first members of RE100 and is at the forefront of an unstoppable market force to transition to 100% renewable energy”.
Although Mars acknowledges that some governments and other corporations are taking steps towards reducing climate change the company’s chief sustainability officer Barry Parkin doesn’t think society is getting to the end goal fast enough. The company already has launched the Livelihoods Fund for Family Farming to foster sustainability and poverty reduction in extended supply chains.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s so-called ‘leadership’ has turned out to be an absolute disaster for Democrats.
Long-standing members of her own party never really wanted her back as House Speaker, she helped orchestrate the longest government shutdown in history, and it turns out she has turned a blind eye to life and death countless times.
Now one top Democrat just revealed Pelosi’s truth and is exposing the House Speaker’s Racist agenda.
This came about when Nancy Pelosi demanded President Trump to remove a tweet and video revolving around 9/11 shortly after anti-Semitic Congresswoman, Omar Ilhan made comments regarding 9/11 and Muslims being discriminated over it.
Her Democratic Party however, feels that she should’ve done more at the time to protect Omar.
In a rant over the weekend, Tlaib noted Pelosi and others in Democratic leadership roles are actively racist.
“They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse… However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us,” stated Tlaib.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any TR games that are PC Vista compatible?
i know for fact that Legend, Anniversary and Underworld is. but there is more, some of them just works others you need a patch thingy to make `em work.
The entire series (TR1 to TR5, AoD, Legend, Anniversary and now Underworld) are all Vista compatible. But TR1 requires a bit of "messing about" to set up and get it running (because it's sooo old).
Get Tomb Raider 1 Running on Windows Vista! (http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=71522) - that thread will show you how to get the game up and running (but it only applies to the 32-bit version of Vista).
Yah it works great. I have them all running on both XP and Vista. The preconfigued file will make it easyer. TR1 actually looks great on my 19 in screen. There is also more info on "Tombraiderchronicles.com"

Discussion in 'Equipment' started by NanoCrazed, Nov 10, 2018.
Wondering if anyone has polished their acrylic tank? If so, how much work is it... and how long might it take?
Btw, anyone ever use the acrylic tank repair service from there in N. San Jose?
Is a lot of elbow grease but do-able.
You can also get fine grit wet/dry sand-paper from automotive places and then use the Novus.
.. I get into enough trouble with all my tank projects already.
...will invest my time working on a stand instead... still will be in trouble but half as much. Lol.
There was a fellow in the Milpitas area that polished 3 acrylic tanks for me awhile back. He did a really good job.
I've done my fair share of cleaning up, and to be honest depending upon the level of of screwiness it can be a fast painless fix or a longer arm hurting fix. If there's no deep gouges going through Novus 3 through 1 with one of those foam ball polishers on a drill can work wonders, did 34 square feet of acrylic tank in an afternoon (tank was big enough for me to lay inside though, so that may have made it easier . I've also done it by hand and it definitely takes some elbow grease but if it's like a scratch it's no problem, if it's a small hazy area no problem, if it's like a whole pane then yeah it's a lot harder to do.
Awesome. That's who I had in mind so glad you give a thumbs up!
Send out for the service! Polishing one acrylic tank (if you do it right) is guaranteed carpel tunnel for two weeks. If you work at a computer all day like I do, it’s not worth it.

"It's so much easier to make healthy choices in advance."
For years, meal plans in my house would go like this… Hubby: “What do you want to eat?” Me: “I dunno. What do we have?” Hubby: “I’m not sure; I’ll go to the shop.” Those daily shops added up fast. And since they – fairly often – involved a trip to the deli rather than the grocery aisle, we were both a little softer around the middle than we should’ve been considering how much time we spent in the gym. And then I got into meal prepping – something I’d always avoided because it sounded so time-consuming and, well, boring. But, for all my initial reluctance, I’ve actually saved time, lost weight and no longer feel like I’m crawling to pay day. These are the strategies that work for me.
You’re going to need a whole lot of containers of various sizes. I have a few good-quality plastic containers with rubber seals around the lids to prevent, say, a soup spill, but I also hold onto the bakkies from curry and sushi take-aways. A deep soya sauce bakkie is perfect for 30g (one serving) of mixed nuts; a shallow one takes a tablespoon of hummus or peanut butter – one serving of healthy fats. And the curry containers are a good size for salad, leftovers, overnight oats, popcorn… you get the idea. Plus, they last much longer than you’d expect – just don’t stick ’em in the dishwasher.
Take-away bakkies make portion control a breeze.
Gone are the days of trying to picture what treasures might be gathering dust in the kitchen cupboards that could possibly be magicked into a meal. Each weekend I plan the suppers for the coming week with a mind to meals that can be turned into desk lunches the next day. Prime example: Steamed chicken pieces with broccoli and cauliflower make an easy, healthy supper. The next day, leftover chicken can go in a salad. Extra rice or pasta is another great way to add substance to salad. Leftover mince is delicious in a wrap or on toast.
Sunday afternoons are typically couch or braai time in our home, so why not have something bubbling away in the background? On a Sunday I make a big pot of something hearty like soup, stew or curry. You’re essentially just putting a whole lot of ingredients in a pot and leaving it to cook for hours while you get your gin and tonic on. Even better if you have a slow cooker. That pot of goodness becomes supper for Monday or Tuesday and often there’s enough to freeze for another supper. I’ve also started boiling eggs on a Sunday – one egg counts as a protein serving.
Samp and beans is a cheap, meat-free meal to make on a Sunday and eat for days.
4/ Make a little extra.
I genuinely love salad so I make one with almost every meal. Bulking up your meals with salad greens is a good strategy for eating less of the calorie-dense stuff on your plate (meat; potatoes) – the fibre in the salad fills you up and the crunchy texture makes you feel more satisfied. The next day, the leftover salad becomes the base for lunch – I just add some chicken, tuna or, for a meat-free hit of protein and fibre, beans.
5/ Take 15 minutes for tomorrow.
Each week night, I prep my food for the next day. It takes 15 minutes max and saves me the cash and calories of a trip to the cafeteria. Breakfast is overnight oats or a smoothie. Lunch will usually be leftovers, a salad bulked up with protein or carbs or a slice of toast with avo and a green salad on the side. Snacks could be nuts, biltong, fruit, popcorn or crackers with hummus. There’s absolutely the odd night when I’m tired and prepping just feels like too much of a las. I always regret that decision the next day.
6/ Stock up on staples.
My kitchen always contains the snacky stuff (biltong, fruit, nuts, etc) mentioned above. In addition, I always have rice paper sheets, eggs, rice noodles (less calorie dense than regular pasta; also I can’t eat wheat and they’re so much cheaper than those fancy gluten-free pastas) and different dry grains (rice, barley, quinoa). That way, I still have options. If I don’t feel like the mince and rice I planned to make, I can make spagbol with rice noodles instead. A chicken stir-fry can turn into chicken Vietnamese spring rolls. And when you’re pressed for time, almost any ingredients can become an omelette.
I initially started meal prepping after seeing a dietician who recommended an eating plan based on macros – controlled allowances of protein, carbs and fat. It’s really hard to stick to your macro allowances when you’re eating on the fly, but when you’re planning your meals, it’s actually so easy. Weight loss: Check. Prepping my meals at night means I don’t have to do it in the mornings when I’m grumpy, slow and inevitably running late. Time-saving: Check. And finally, this whole planning business has halved my food budget.

1. Link exchanges – you ask other sites to exchange links with you. This means you will have to set up a page on your site with links such as this one: http://ihubbub.com/links. It is not the best way, but easy enough to do quickly.
2. Articles and blogs – join bloggerlinkup.com and you will find lots of bloggers and websites looking to exchange links. They also actively look for article writers. If you cannot write articles or blogs or don’t have time, you can find copywriters on http://ihubbub.com/members and http://ihubbub.com/market.
3. PR – this is excellent Google Juice and requires you to send out regular press releases about your business. My book shows you how to do this and http://ihubbub.com/pr-resources will give you lots of info. If you cannot write a release or don’t have time, you can find freelancer PR people on iHubbub if you need someone to do this for you. I suggest selecting some excellent case studies and getting some local PR stories into the papers. This will be a big boost in ranking.
4. Competitions - this is another softer approach for getting a link. If you have some ideas for competitions you can approach bloggers or partner sites asking if they want to run a competition to their members or mailing list. Make sure you choose high traffic sites or even maybe the local newspaper as that will give a good quality link as well as a bit of PR.

The two-year-old is asleep, so I have to pop out a wine review, before the moment slips. For Thanksgiving, something supple, medium bodied, mildly tannic but with good acidity to keep the food coming. It is a worthwhile moment to share an aged wine and something American.
Lucky us, a beer friend offloaded his 2003 Pinot Noir by Lange from the Cancilla Vineyard in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
The APPEARANCE looks a medium intense garnet with a medium clear rim, casual lean legs, and a touch of sediment.
AROMAS glow of medium intense honey, dried orange peel, black cherry paste, strawberry, brooding clove and nutmeg powder.
The PALATE seems rich, thanks to a thick velvet texture, but is medium in body, silky smooth for two thirds until a twang and tannic finish.
FLAVORS still hold pleasantly fresh and complex, with black fruits akin to dark cherry and blackberry, light cigar ash, iron flecks, wrapped in a mellow honey of medium plus length.
Fresh into the glass, Lange’s 2003 holds well and is outstanding (5 of 5) for its age. However, do not forget it. As each hour passes that fruit falls out, inch by inch. By the end of a meal it is a shadow. Nice work for the holiday.
Mom and kiddo soak in the sunshine.
But after milling for hours through the throng and flora at Butchart Gardens, you could use a drink. Luckily, a mere six minute drive will get you to De Vine Vineyards (an easy 22 minutes from Victoria). So we take the narrow drive up a hill, and yes, pass real vineyards.
These grow normal, everyday grapes like Pinot Gris and Grüner Veltliner. A chunk get made into spirits, but more on that later. Our core question: can De Vine buck the brutal acid and imbalance of other Vancouver Island wines. To the tasting room!
The diligent staff fill me in. Winemaker, Ken Winchester, a Montreal native, left his garage winemaking, studied at UC Davis, built 15 acre Winchester Vineyards in Paso Robles and saw decades of success. He also studied distilling at Islay Scotch icon Bruichladdich. But in 2002, he returned to the cold climes of Vancouver BC, and soon came under the wing of the Windsor family and their De Vine Vineyards.
It looks like pale lemon water. Yet aromas pounce with enough lychee, citrus, star gazer lily and tropical tones to remind of its Gewurztramier heritage. But do not let the nose fool you. The palate feels near dry, clean, with ample but tame acidity, and medium body, with some viscosity. Flavors range from snappy Granny Smith apple, lime, and white pear. Dev Vine’s Siegerrebe is a very good (4 of 5) white ready for summer or various light dishes.
This is not your plump, sweet yet vapid Italian Pinot Grigio. No. Twangy aromas and flavors run from peach to oodles of lemon lime and salt. It feels lean taught and steely. If your enamel can handle it, De Vine’s Pinot Gris is very good (4 of 5).
Fleur White Blend 2017 $22 comes from upland Alsatian grapes: Maeline Sylvaner, Pinot Auxerrois and Schönburger.
It looks watery pale. Honestly, it tastes sweet, yeasty, underdeveloped, but rounder and more approachable than otherwise. It is acceptable (2 of 5) but clearly compensating.
We already pitted De Vine’s 2017 Pinot Noir against other island Pinots (read here). Long story short, $28 gets you a bright, soft, bubblegum, berry and earth, quaffable but forgettable red (3 of 5) thanks to carbonic macerated grapes akin to Beaujolais Nouveau style.
Wait, who? No your not in Napa anymore, Toto. Marechal Foch, named for the synonymous marshal who ended WWI. I have not seen this funny Alsatian hybrid since living in Upstate New York and Nova Scotia (read here).
The appearance is a purple ink. Flavors and aromas glow with blackberry compote, red cherry, medium acidity and well integrated muscular grippy tannins. 18 months in French oak barrels gives it a tobacco mocha that level up the quality to very good (4 of 5), worthy of a bottle purchase.
Look around De Vine and you quickly realize that wine only covers one side of their coin. In the lab, next to the tasting room, looms a vintage German copper pot still, named Brünhilde.
Winemaker Ken Winchester also studied distilling at no slouch Islay icon Bruichladdich. Remember those vineyards. Well, Canadian law requires that they distill half of what’s grown. So that Pinot Blanc and Grüner Veltliner make it into quite a few of De Vine’s liquors.
Yup, grape vodka. It tastes clean, simple, a touch edgy. Imagine if Le Croix made a new flavored sparkling water by sitting this vodka across the room while someone whispered “pinot blanc”.
Their Gins are solid, especially the 1600 recipe Genever, with common (Harry Potter) household ingredients like mugwort, wormwood, horehound, and blessed thistle, all and more of which make for a plump, citric, warming, exotic nip (4 of 5 very good).
We also grab a bottle of Moderna Vermouth ($22) based on a 1786, 30 botanical Turin Vermouth recipe, with its base both their wine and spirit. Neat, it tastes spicy, with pepper sticky spruce sap carrying on a long, green finish. De Vine’s Vermouth may be bit tannic but remains very good (4 of 5).
In sum, Winchester is doing his darnedest with Vancouver Island’s tart grapes, while exploring every possible spirit style at his fingertips. De Vine sits atop a lovely hilltop. They feel pleasant and polished. Their range will have something to keep any weary traveler warm.
(Also, if you want to slip back into the United States, do not bore boarder guards with your list of wine purchases. The mere mention we bought Vermouth got us through two checks. Codeword: Vermouth).
Maybe cool climate Burgundy and Beaujolais are not harsh enough models. Let us look to Champagne, to bubbly, to where fizz makes high acid wine magical.
The winery Averill Creek is pretty big for the island: 30 planted acres. Since 2001, they do everything right, Guyot planting, warm, south facing vineyards, 2.5 tons per acre, gravity flow winery. They make a bubbly of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. To get the fizz, the Charmat (aka Prosecco) method keeps things young, fresh, and clean.
Averill’s Charme de L’ile looks right: pale clear straw color, full of vibrant rapid medium sized bubbles. It smells promising and prosecco-like enough: clean lemon rind, grapefruit, and pale honey aromas abound. But the acidity sears off enamel and any saliva left hiding between tastebuds. A rapid, steely fizz does not help, instead it chews through any fat or protein we throw at it. Our armament of local cheeses and chips disappears decimated by all the acidity.
Averill Creek’s bubbly, albeit bracing, is still a valiant effort and good (3 of 5). I imagine some time on the lees via the traditional method, or a partial malolactic ferment might make it more amiable. Still, with a few breaks between glasses, this can be enjoyed.

Having peripheral neuropathy can be a very painful and isolating experience - especially since most people have never heard of it, let alone know someone who has it. But believe it or not, mankind isn't alone in the peripheral neuropathy world. There are other species that have peripheral neuropathy and experience many of the same problems we do.
Take chickens, for example. A recent study published in Poultry World described nine cases of peripheral neuropathy in chickens in Hungary. Often, peripheral neuropathy in chickens is confused with another illness called Marek's disease (MDV). Marek's disease is a very deadly and very contagious viral disease that affects chickens. Supposedly, it is caused by an alphaherpesvirus that is so dangerous it can kill off an entire flock. Marek's disease causes lesions on the peripheral nerves, causing paralysis and difficulty breathing. Thankfully there is a vaccine against this illness, but there is no vaccine against peripheral neuropathy in chickens - or anyone else, for that matter.
Doctors used what is known as viral testing to determine if the chickens in the study did indeed have MDV. When it was ruled that their viral loads were low, and they did not have MDV, the chickens were tested for peripheral neuropathy, and doctors determined that was in fact what was ailing the animals. The study was important because it showed that there is a benefit to using viral testing to determine whether the chickens had MDV, as treatment for this illness is quite expensive and would have been pointless in this case.
So, now the burning question: How does this all benefit humans? Well, right now it doesn't – but it could in the future if those same farmers willing to spend a fortune to cure their chickens of MDV are willing to invest the same amount to better understand peripheral neuropathy. In the meantime, human PN sufferers can take comfort in the fact that they have more treatment options than poultry!
