A surefire way to get unelected is to tell 55% of the state's voters they did something stupid.
You are correct. Even if it is true.
I only have one comment. DUH!
It has been proven more reckless to have voted for him as gov. The only negative so far with pot being legalized is the intrusion of the gov on every level in what is now a legal business in Colorado.
And it’s HIS core, base voters.
He’s correct, but you can’t tell that to a country whose only remaining consolation is that it can narcotize itself into oblivion.
Colorado really didn’t need to vote for more stoners.
Exactly, Dems can’t full court press to get uninformed voters and then complain about the results.
Voting for him has been much worse for the state than legalized pot, anyway.
Hell, the piper hasn’t even finished playing his tune, much less asking for payment.
But when the fallout happens and even libertarian stoners see the light of day - Gov. ‘looper will be proven correct.
I saw this morning that homeless people were flooding Colorado to take advantage of the legal pot.
I expect every one of them votes Democrat. Even the ones who don’t vote.
They were even more reckless to elect tax & spend Democrats to the state legislature, the governor’s office and to Congress.
Disagree. I believe it will be a negative to your tourism. While some will visit because they CAN smoke week there, many, like me, will not visit or will not go back. I am in the latter; I was there with some family the first week of September. I kept smelling a horrible smell that was making me sick. it wasn’t till we got to the stadium sunday night for the broncos game that it finally hit me what the smell was (it was there, also).
"But when the fallout happens"
If you were giving away Free Booze and Guns it be the same.
Stoned people make reckless decisions. A lot of the corruption, evil and sick and twisted cr@p going on today is because of pot where even deprave things are ‘funny’.

In 1785 the Marquis de Condorcet, a French mathematician and philosopher, noted that if every voter in a group has a better-than-even chance of choosing the preferable of two options, and if voters do not influence each other, then large groups of voters are very likely to make the right choice. The bigger and more diverse the group the better: more people bring more information to the table which, if properly harnessed, leads to improved decisions. But ever bigger meetings imply more time spent in them: few workers would welcome that. And even with more people in the room, all manner of behavioural flaws stand in the way.

Second, there are cities across the American heartland—Detroit, St. Louis and Cleveland, for example—where many neighborhoods are still waiting for their chance at revival. In those cities, residents of blighted neighborhoods suffer from disinvestment and dysfunction, caught in a downward spiral of declining value, revenue and services.
This Island Press Urban Resilience Project webinar will explore strategies to create urban revitalization for all—on the gentrifying coasts and in the still-declining rustbelt. It will explore successful strategies to boost investment without displacing less affluent residents, spotlighting innovative strategies to preserve affordable housing, create jobs, and foster racial and income diversity.

V.I.P. Home Services has been around for 40 years. V.I.P. was born giving great service, primarily treating customers like V.I.P.s. This is the core business value of the company which has enabled it to grow into an award-winning franchise system.
V.I.P. BIG enough to count but SMALL enough to care!
I chose V.I.P. Home Services due to their size and long history of success in Australia. The added appeal was having Warren Smith and Vea Johnston running the Fencing and Home maintenance division. They both have an extensive and successful history in the franchise world.
In August 2015 V.I.P. Home Services partnered with Warren Smith and Vea Johnston, who in turn have formed the franchise business opportunity being V.I.P. Home Services – Fencing and Home Maintenance Australia wide.
Warren and Vea bring a wealth of franchising and practical experience in Fencing and Home Maintenance services, collectively 36 + years worth.
We care about your investment!
Good Luck with your new business Warren & Vea - I hope you are even more successful as you not only made people's businesses worth a lot more than they paid, you coached them to a successful life.
V.I.P. Home Services began in 1979 and was the first home services business to franchise in Australia.
Founded by Bill Vis, the company remains Australian owned and operated and has the same core values from the very day it started – exceptional customer service.
It is this great service, essentially treating customers like V.I.P.'s, that has enabled the company to grow into an award winning franchise system that has over 1,100 franchisees across Australasia.
Currently we only offer franchise businesses in Perth, Country Victoria and Melbourne. For other states, we are seeking Regional Master Franchises.

The C612dn is a single-function printer that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of lasers as a light. It determines 13.4 by 17.1 by 23.8 inches (HWD) and also weighs 66.2 extra pounds. You will wish to get 2 people to move it, and also location it on a table or bench of its own. The C612dn has an off-white base and a dark-brown top. There's a monochrome display screen that reveals the menus and the degrees for each and every color of toner.
The C612dn has a responsibility cycle of approximately 75,000 pages monthly. Its conventional paper capacity is 400 sheets, split between a 300-sheet legal-size major tray as well as a 100-sheet hand-operated multi-purpose tray, where you can print banners up to 8.5 by 52 inches. You could amount to two optional 530-sheet paper trays ($ 183.99 each) to increase capacity to a maximum of 1,460 sheets. This version includes an automatic duplexer for two-sided printing. The base model, the C612n ($ 649), does not have the automatic duplexer yet is otherwise the same.
The HP M553dn, which has an 80,000-sheet maximum month-to-month obligation cycle, costs less than the C612dn but has significantly higher paper capability. Its basic ability is 650 sheets, as well as with optional trays can enhance to as lots of as 2,300 sheets.
The C612dn uses just USB as well as Ethernet connectivity, though a Wi-Fi adapter is readily available as a $75 alternative. The printer includes both PCL and PostScript motorists. I checked it on an Ethernet network with its vehicle drivers installed on a PC running Windows 10 Specialist.

The ‘Communauté Européenne’, also known as ‘Conformité Européenne’, is a mandatory conformance mark required for certain product groups that will be available for purchase within the European Economic Area (‘EEA’), comprised of the 27 Member States of the European Union (‘EU’), or within the European Free Trade Association (‘EFTA’) countries which include Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.
The CE Mark is considered the manufacturer’s declaration, on its sole responsibility, that the product is in conformity with EU legislation and may, therefore, be sold throughout the EEA. An importer will require documented proof from the manufacturer to confirm its authenticity.
How do I procure CE Certification for my product?
To procure a CE Mark a conformity assessment must be performed, a technical file must be established, and a European Commission (‘EC’) Declaration of Conformity (‘DOC) must be signed.
May I affix the CE Mark to a product while the CE Certification is in process?
No. The CE Mark must not be affixed to a product prior to the completion of the certification process. A product is ineligible for market placement until such time it has been determined to be in compliance with the provisions of all applicable directives and has successfully completed a procedural conformity assessment.
Does this process have any impact on the Distributors?
Yes. Both the manufacturer and the importer must provide a distributor, within each country where a product is sold, with sufficient documentation which acknowledges its adherence to procedure. The distributor is required to have this documentation readily available.
The Compliance Management Group offers a vast array of testing capabilities inclusive of Automotive, Emissions, Environmental, Immunity, ISTA, Product Safety, Shock and Vibration as well as Thermal Management.

The weather is heating up and US Air Heating and Cooling knows you want to make sure you stay cool all summer long. So, if your air conditioner isn’t running well, how do you know whether to make the investment toward repairs or purchasing a new system?
If your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may want to consider getting a replacement air conditioner. The technology and efficiencies in HVAC systems have continued to evolve in recent years and there a lot of extra features that help your home and wallet.
If your repairs have been few and far between, it may not make sense to take the leap to a new system. However, if your system is requiring assistance on a more frequent basis, you are putting considerable funds into fixing a system that may not be working properly.
It’s a good idea to monitor your monthly energy usage. And since temperatures do vary throughout the year, it’s a good idea to do yearly comparisons to get a more accurate idea of how your energy usage has changed. If your system is running harder to produce the same results, it will result in higher energy expenditure.
If your air conditioning system isn’t keeping you cool and comfortable, that’s an indication that something isn’t right. Our experts can help you decide if it needs repair or if you should look for a new system. We can also help you evaluate whether you have the most suitable system for your house and if it has the capacity to effectively cool your house.
You don’t have to make the decision on your own. Whether you choose to pursue repairing your system, or you want to start searching for a newer system, we are qualified to help talk about what you want out of your system and how you can achieve home comfort. If you have concerns about your air conditioner, give our professionals a call at 803-220-0761.

Small business investment advice can be hit or miss. It’s hard to know who to trust. Here are a few simple ways to find the best management firms for your investments, and how to know what’s good investment advice and what’s not.
There are so many investment companies that will offer you advice to gain your business. With so many places competing for your investment business, it’s hard to know who you can trust. The first place to start is by asking friends and colleagues who they use. Get an idea of how things have panned out for them. You also want to make sure the people you are asking don’t have anything to gain by pointing you in one direction or another. If they have a vested interest in steering your business then it doesn’t matter what they say.
You also want to check the public records for the company. This will give you a good idea of whether or not they can be trusted. You want to avoid advice from investment advisors who are new to the scene or work for a company that is brand new. Everyone needs to start somewhere, but you don’t want to risk your money with a company that may not have the best advisors working for them.
There are records available publicly regarding complaints filed through the SEC. A company with a lot of complaints will not be one you want to invest in. No one can guarantee an investment will pay off, but a company with a high level of complaints filed should send off a red flag to you that this is not the place you want to be.
If you have already chosen a company and have been following their small business investment advice for a while, you will want to pull your records and look at the track records over the past year. Are you making more money than you are spending? Are the fees they charge not a big deal compared to the amount of money they bring in? If the answer is no to either of these you may want to consider finding another company. If the advice you’ve gotten is solid then you should see a pretty steady rate of return when you look at the records. If there are pretty big fluctuations in the performance this should be a red flag that you may want to find steadier investments.
Assessing and scoring the management of your small business investments is easy if you know what to look for. It’s also a necessary part of doing business. Be sure you are using management companies that can be trusted by building a report card of sorts to compare.

JERUSALEM Adidas Superstar II Wit Goud Goedkoop , June 28 (Xinhua) -- Errant projectile from Syria hitthe Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Wednesday night, Israel'sarmy said, in the fourth incident of fire spillover from Syria overthe past week.
"A projectile hit an open area in the northern Golan Heights," amilitary spokesperson said in a statement, adding that no injuriesor damage have been reported.
"The projectile fire is errant and is a result of the internalfighting in Syria," the statement read.
The incident marked the fourth time that a spillover from thewar-torn country hit northern Israel, without causing damage orinjuries.
On Monday, the military said it had identified heavy machine gunbullet holes in a post of the United Nations Disengagement ObserverForce (UNDOF), which maintains the 1974 ceasefire between Israeland Syria.
The post is located near the community of Zivanit, adjacent tothe disputed border between Syria and Israel.
A day earlier, the Israeli military said it attacked twoartillery positions and an ammunition truck, both belonging to theSyrian army, after several projectiles hit the Israeli-held GolanHeights.
No injuries or damage were reported but as a precautionarymeasure, the army asked civilians to refine from gathering near theborder area.
A similar incident occurred on Saturday, as 10 projectiles hitan open field in the Israeli-held Golan, causing no injuries ordamage.
In response, Israel's air force attacked posts of the Syrianarmy. Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported that severalpeople were killed in the strikes, including at least twocivilians.
The army believes that all of the cross-border fire incidentswere a result of a spillover from the fighting in Quneitra, next tothe border.
According to SANA, the battles in this region are betweenPresident Bashar Assad's army and the Nusra Front, a Salafist rebelgroup in Syria.
Errant fire from the Syria, which is fighting a six-year-longwar, has occasionally been spilling over to Israel, usually causingno casualties or damage.
Israel had repeatedly declared it would not intervene in theinternal fighting in Syria.
AMMAN, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- King Abdullah II of Jordan on Sunday voiced Jordan's full support to the Palestinian reconciliation between rival factions, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
The King made the remarks at a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, where he said the deal will help enhance the Palestinian unity.
The reconciliation deal represents an important step to revive peace talks and re-launch serious and effective peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis on the basis of the two state solution leading to the creation of an independent Palestinian state at the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its borders.
King Abdullah stressed that the Palestinian issue was the central issue and the core of conflict in the Middle East, adding that it is on the top of priorities of Jordan's foreign agenda.
Talks also focused on the need to intensify efforts and work with the U.S. administration to find new genuine political horizons to find a solution to the conflict and make progress on the ground in the near future, especially amidst pledges by US President Donald Trump to achieve peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Talks also focused on the developments in Jerusalem, where the two sides stressed on the need to respect the legal and historic status quo in the holy city.
In this regard, King Abdullah said Jordan will continue to play its historic role in protecting the holy Islamic and Christian sites in the city. Jordan oversees the holy sites in Jerusalem.
Abbas voiced appreciation for Jordan's continued efforts to defend the Palestinian issue and support the rights of the Palestinians at all fronts.
In remarks to the press, Abbas said Jordan and Palestine were keen on the success of the Palestinian reconciliation deal signed in Cairo.
Acne Vulgaris is one of common type of pimples and is portrayed as a light disease that influences the hair roots and engine oil secreting glands of the skin. The cause is definitely unknown, despite the fact that genetics, hormonal dysfunction, in addition to over-secretion of sebum are firmly implicated. Chance factors consist of cosmetics, strain, steroids along with other drugs, mouth contraceptives, mechanized skin problems, and local climate. This form involving acne often begins around puberty as well as affects in relation to 80% of adolescents in some type. Males are affected more often; nonetheless, females have an overabundance severe and even more prolonged cases. It manifests as blackheads, whiteheads and infection (redness).
Zits Vulgaris is the the bare minimum severe type of acne. After we simply refer to ‘acne”, we typically mean “acne Vulgaris”. This kind of acne is common under the skin tone on the skin, neck, box, or spine.

With the rise of A.I. in our daily lives, questions around what it means for the future of society command our attention. These questions range from inquiries into the nature of humanity, to explorations of the complex effects on economies. And lurking in the collective, a healthy sprinkle of dystopian evil robot overlord fear as a counter-balance.
The more we discuss and learn together, the more we realise how little we understand about our own intelligence, particularly how our thinking and reasoning impacts the world around us.
How do people contribute to bias in A.I.?
Bias results from cognition, specifically how people think, reason, and react based on their knowledge and experiences. As people navigate the world they interact with information differently depending upon their knowledge base and the availability of mental resources.
Sometimes people process information via automatic, subconscious processes. In this mode we focus more on psychologically salient features of information to guide our responses, rather than logically important ones . A psychologically salient feature is one that draws someone’s attention, such as a bright color or a voice that sounds like someone we know.
In psychology literature, this type of thinking is associated with System 1, a faster and more reactive set of cognitive processes.
Other times people process information by dissecting the content in relation to what they know, integrating it into their knowledge base and then reacting to it.
Psychology literature identifies this type of information processing as part of System 2. Where System 1 focused on psychologically salient features of information, System 2 focuses on logically important features.
At first glance, these descriptions might lead one to think that System 1 responses could be more erroneous than those of System 2. However, psychologists have shown that System 1 produces accurate interpretations of information and logical responses in many circumstances, while System 2 can produce incorrect interpretations and poor responses from time to time (Evans, 2013).
As mentioned earlier, how people process information depends upon what they know, and their ability in the moment to focus on and interpret information. Someone with limited domain knowledge of information they encounter will rely upon psychologically salient features in order to draw analogies to what they do know.
Someone with expert domain knowledge will also focus on psychologically salient features of information, but in a way that helps them quickly locate necessary knowledge in their long term memory.
Despite a difference in available knowledge base, in both of these scenarios people seek to reduce the amount of mental resources they expend. Therefore, even if someone has available mental resources to engage System 2, they may not do so; and those who have fewer available mental resources will primarily engage System 1.
Regardless of which system someone uses to process information, patterns of thinking and reasoning may emerge that, while efficient for preserving mental resources, lead to inaccurate conclusions. These faulty patterns constitute the biases observed when interacting with an A.I.
A.I. becomes refined through use by processing data and interacting with users. They primarily support people in activities that might otherwise limit their ability to perform other activities requiring dedicated mental resources. A.I. can perform complex activities quickly and more accurately than people. A.I. can also perform mundane tasks faster than people and without any decrement to task performance.
Offloading complex and mundane tasks to an A.I. frees people to perform other tasks in their environment that do not require the assistance of an intelligent system. People do not need to interact with the A.I. until it produces task-related information for them to interpret and react to.
In an ideal world, people would consume the data provided via A.I. and react objectively to it, but reality is often different. People prefer expending the least amount of cognitive effort, leading to errors in how we interpret information, store information in memory, and retrieve information from memory. These errors arise from particular patterns that constitute cognitive biases.
What influences which biases appear, and when? Sometimes environmental factors make certain information more meaningful than others. Or, we might not understand enough about the information we encounter to accurately determine what information is important. Another reason is personal preference: Some information will be more important to us because we like who or what presented it to us. These factors can appear at the time we encounter information, when we start to encode it to memory, or when we retrieve information from memory.
Although bias is tightly tied to our thinking and reasoning, ways exist to reduce it. Debiasing techniques disrupt erroneous thought processes behind bias through the use of incentives, nudges, or training to induce cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is mental discomfort arising from discrepancies between thoughts and actions. People will reduce cognitive dissonance either by changing their cognitions, reducing the importance of dissonant cognitions, or adding cognitions to reduce dissonance around actions. Each debiasing method induces cognitive dissonance differently, and with varying levels of success.
Incentives reward people for performing a desirable behavior, with rewards ranging from monetary gain to building social capital among peers. Not all incentives are created equal, however, as what motivates one person might not motivate another. Incentives work when the reward is personally relevant and not overwhelmingly difficult to obtain. Also, the success of incentives in offsetting cognitive biases is strongest when increasing effort makes the difference in biased versus unbiased processing (Soll, Milkman, & Payne, 2015) .
Nudges use a carefully architected set of options in order to facilitate behavioral change. Desired choices appear as easy-to-perform default actions among other options, giving people the sense that a particular course is being recommended to them, but that they may still choose another option (de Ridder, 2014). Nudges tend to be most successful when they help people make informed decisions, whereas those that appear paternalistic or offer overly complex information tend to fail (Sunstein, 2017).
Training requires an expert source to teach people how to respond to domain-specific information. It can be used to teach strategies for evaluating information and situations, eventually leading to improved responses. Training produces improved decision-making on its own and when used in conjunction with the other debiasing techniques (Morewedge, Yoon, Scopelliti, Symborski, Korris, & Kassam, 2015).
Since most interactions with A.I.s occur via a GUI, debiasing can be accomplished by leveraging existing information and interaction design techniques. This is made all the more easier by the fact that based on how biases arise, they produce predictable errors (Morewedge et al., 2015). Such predictability could help further hone in on the type of debiasing strategy to implement, and how.
As mentioned earlier, incentives provide external motivation for behavior change. Some incentives may be monetary, which may not be appropriate for some human-A.I. interactions. Other incentives focus on building social capital among peers. If interactions with A.I.s could be linked back to particular users, and the details of those interactions made known to their peers, then motivation might increase among users to always do their best when providing feedback to an A.I. Since incentives effectively motivate cognitive effort, they can address biases arising due to a lack of attention and processing to information presented by an A.I.
Nudges seek to balance gentle guidance toward an ideal outcome with the autonomy and awareness of individuals. A common A.I. interaction is the presentation of recommended actions to users. For some users, simply reordering a list of actions to take such that the recommended action is listed first and pre-selected might be enough to signal the desired action. However, some users might require further information before accepting the recommended action, so providing explanations unobtrusively to increase the success of the nudge is an important factor.
Training teaches how to react to information, and a necessary component of training is providing feedback to the trainee. Specialized A.I. systems, such as those applicable to cybersecurity, can provide feedback to users based upon the actions they take. Novices in a domain especially benefit from intelligent systems as the feedback they receive improves their knowledge base and increases their skills quickly. Experts can also benefit from feedback. A.I.s can quickly and efficiently analyze large volumes of complex data, so an A.I. may provide an expert with insights unavailable to them at the time they take actions, empowering them to take a different and more appropriate action.
Although people occasionally demonstrate biased thinking and reasoning, the ramifications of which could negatively influence any A.I.s they interact with consistently, that does not mean we limit engaging with A.I. Rather, those designing A.I.s should educate themselves on the biases that commonly arise in whatever domain area the A.I. intends to serve, and devise ways to reduce those biases through communication, interaction design, and visual design. Admittedly, this will not be easy, but if A.I. experts work together with user experience researchers, designers, and technical writers, then a cohesive product design strategy can be implemented to address and manage the potential for bias in human-A.I interactions.

“It is exciting to be part of such a diverse group of experts determined to build a brighter future for students, graduates and employers in Indigenous communities, Ontario and Canada,” Laurie Robinson, executive director and chairwoman of the Indigenous Advanced Education and Skills Council (IAESC) said during opening remarks.
Robinson was speaking at IAESC’s to representatives of Indigenous Institutes, Province of Ontario, Colleges Ontario, Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer, Council of Ontario Universities, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and special guests.
Being unveiled was the organization review and application process, the first step in IAESC’s quality assurance for Indigenous Institutes to receive approval to grant post-secondary certificates, diplomas and degrees. Standards are set out by the Council’s quality assurance board and approved by the Council, which has a memorandum of understanding with the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium to use its review methodology.
IAESC was created through legislation last year to make Indigenous Institutes an official pillar in the province’s post-secondary education and training landscape to help students across Ontario better prepare for their careers and employment.
MPP David Piccini, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities recognized the importance of the initiative.
“Today is an important step towards creating distinct pathways for Indigenous students in earning a diploma, certificate or degree from an Indigenous post-secondary education institution that reflects Indigenous knowledge, culture and language,” Piccini said.
Laurie Robinson, IAESC chair and executive director, and MPP David Piccini, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities.
The Indigenous Institutes Act, which received Royal Assent Dec. 14, 2017, acknowledges the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which Canada became a signatory to in 2016. It gives recognition to the right for Indigenous people to control their education systems and provide education in their own languages.
“It was a timely and momentous signal to educators, administrators and leaders that tangible partnerships are within reach … if you’re willing to answer when opportunity knocks,” Robinson said, adding there are more challenges ahead.
“How can new curriculum, including language programs unique to each nation and community, be developed? Who will facilitate this development? And are there additional or alternative resources?” she said, noting how vital it is to tap into the human resources of language and culture holders in the communities.
Robinson made reference to how they can find motivation in the knowledge that the opportunities they are working to create were not available to generations lost to Residential School system.
Ann Wykes, a graduate of Seven Generations Education Institute and now an employee, shared her 2017 valedictorian address to open the proceedings. Wykes commented afterward about the value she places on being able to get her education at a community-based post-secondary school.
"I think this is very important. We need to be able to provide education to all people in all places, including remote places, and being able to have the hard work they put into their education mean just as much as any other student at any other educational institute," she said.
"I love that there’s a chance that my children will be able to go to the same school that I went to and they will walk out with a diploma that will say Seven Generations Institute and not another sister college, as great as those colleges may be, Seven Generations is in our community and it just means a little bit more."
Adhere to high ethical standards in coherence with Indigenous world views.

13 Aug Heat Pump Advantages: Compared to Air Conditioners?
Many homeowners wonder what the differences could be between a central air conditioner and a heat pump. They look quite similar and both provide cooling. So what is the difference? Read on to find out about heat pump advantages.
When it comes to cooling your household, a heat pump and A/C are essentially the same machine. Both systems operate on the refrigeration process to extract heat energy and moisture from inside air to then release the heat in the outside air, using refrigerant, copper coils, fans and a compressor. Moisture removed from the air then drips into a condensate collection container and drains away. Both systems use a powerful indoor fan to circulate the cool air (which results from heat removal) through ducts and into rooms.
Topping the list of heat pump advantages is that you get both cooling and heating with the heat pump. It provides high-efficiency cooling in the summer, and efficient heating all winter. To heat your home, a reversing valve in the heat pump switches the flow of refrigerant. As the inside and outside refrigerant coils flip-flop their roles in the process, heat energy is extracted from outdoor air, brought inside and then released into the interior air. A well-maintained air-source heat pump is known to deliver three times the heat energy as the electric power that goes into it. This is superior in efficiency than even the most efficient gas furnace, which can never do better than 100 percent efficiency.
The ability to heat and cool makes air-source heat pumps a great convenient alternative for homeowners. However, in cold weather a heat pump can struggle to extract sufficient heat from the outside air to best heat a home. But most heat pumps do come with an emergency or auxiliary heating element (or backup gas furnace) to work when outside temperatures fall below freezing for extended periods.
For help finding a quality heat pump or A/C for your Dallas area home, please contact us at Airtron Heating & Air Conditioning.

This was a self directed project; as a way of creating a record of the current religious statistics within the UK. 1% accounts for one whole page allocated to each religious text; each text pays homage to its earliest, original printed version in almost all aspects.
To create the hybrid bible; I sourced the relevant versions of each scripture online and copied and pasted, typeset, translated, edited all of them until I had the correct amount of content for each page. I found appropriate typefaces to represent the time period and or location of each, using for instance Fette Fraktur for the Gutenberg bible which was relevant to both criteria.
I sourced the page dimensions for each book and scaled them to fit within the frame of an A5 page so as to maintain consistency throughout the design whilst staying true to the detail of each individual publication.

Fairtrade supports the development of thriving farming and worker communities giving them more control over their futures and protecting the environment where they live and work. It is about getting better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.
Buying Fairtrade products is your opportunity to connect with the people who grow the produce that we all depend on. When you see the FAIRTRADE mark on products like coffee, tea, sugar, cotton or fruit you know that the producers will have been paid a fair, stable price with longer-term trading relationships that offer more stability.
Newcastle is proud to have been a Fairtrade City since 2003. When we achieved Fairtrade status we were one of the first cities in the country to become a Fairtrade City.
responsible for the delivery of the Fairtrade Action Plan and for encouraging other individuals and organisations to participate in Fairtrade activities.
The Newcastle Fairtrade Partnership is using these goals, which are linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to provide structure to our action plan.
We are always keen to recruit new members. If you are interested in becoming a member of the partnership, and advancing the Fairtrade agenda in Newcastle, please get in touch using the contact details below.
Fairtrade Fortnight is when campaigners, businesses, schools and places of worship show their support for the farmers and workers who grow our food in developing countries. During these two weeks Fairtrade Towns and Cities hold a series of events dedicated to raising awareness of Fairtrade Products.
In 2017 Fairtrade Fortnight runs from Monday 27 February to Sunday 12 March. The theme this year is “It’s time to put Fairtrade in your break.” Find out what’s happening in Newcastle on our Facebook page here or to find out about events across the UK, visit the Fairtrade Foundation’s website.
The closing date for nominations is Friday 17 February 2017. Shortlisted candidates will go to a public vote with the winners being announced during Fairtrade Fortnight.
FairAware Schools teach students where their food comes from and what is meant by ‘fairness’. They also evaluate how Fairtrade can work to address unfairness in supply chains.
FairActive Schools are all about taking action. They may hold community events, run campaigns or get some local schools together to spread the word about trade justice.
FairAchiever Schools students understand the connections between themselves and farmers in some of the poorest countries in the world through the things they buy and are passionate about changing the system to make trade fair.
We’re also always keen to involve local businesses in our partnership. If you are interested please email fairtrade@newcastle.gov.uk.
If you are interested in joining the partnership, running local events, becoming a Fairtrade School or organisation, or just want to tell us about your views on Fairtrade, we’d love to hear from you. You can get in touch with us by emailing fairtrade@newcastle.gov.uk.

Latina Lista has an interview with Anna Maria Chávez, who as CEO of Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas has overseen a period of substantial growth for the council, now serving more than 21,000 girls in a 21-county region.
Reporter Tony Cantú states that "such gains didn't come by accident, but largely attributable to a new direction for the organization offering a more flexible model for Girl Scouting participation. Called Pathways, the new approach allows girls to participate based on their lifestyle and time availability, be it for a few weeks or a few months."
Of the Pathways, Chávez says "it is a template that will be replicated throughout the country, but we were one of the first to establish and develop those pathways. That's why we're seeing such an increase in participation. From May 30, 2010 to May 30, 2011, we've seen a 32 percent membership increase."
Prior to accepting the position of CEO, Anna Maria Chávez served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Urban Relations and Community Development for the former Governor of Arizona and current U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. Chávez is a licensed attorney and practiced law in Washington, D.C. before serving the Governor’s administration. She holds a Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona, College of Law and a B.A. in American History from Yale University.

A polling site at the Palmetto Bay library became the site of a “verbal disagreement” between the current vice mayor of the village and a representative of a woman seeking to replace him.
Beth Kibler, campaigning on behalf of Erica Watts, claimed she was being followed around by Palmetto Bay Vice Mayor John DuBois, who is up for reelection. DuBois could not be immediately reached for comment.
Kibler accused DuBois of taking a flyer out of a voter’s hand. The flyer, in part, focused on a controversy involving DuBois allowing a family friend to stay at his home following the friend’s arrest for allegedly molesting a then 9-year-old girl.
Three Palmetto Bay police officers showed up at around 2:20 p.m. and talked to both Kibler and DuBois as well as other campaigners.
Joseph Romainson, sitting in a truck with a banner supporting Miami-Dade mayor candidate Raquel Regalado, said it all happened very fast.
“I was on my phone after I came back from the bathroom, and when I look up, the police are arriving,” he said.
Palmetto Bay police Sgt. D. Fernandez said there was a verbal disagreement between Dubois and Kibler, and a report had been made.
The Miami Herald ran a version of this story on Nov. 8, 2016.

What is Reverse Head and Shoulder chart Pattern?
Reverse Head and Shoulder is a chart pattern, formed by price action, with three swing bottoms placed side by side. It is very profitable reversal chart patterns. It is very reliable with 90% probability. This is created when there is a major profit booking or buying in a downtrend.
They are the pressure areas in a stock chart, which may be a major support area, or it may even be a major target area. Here most traders book profit on short trade and buying for long trade begins. The trend changes from downtrend to uptrend. The resistance trend line of this pattern is an almost horizontal line connecting the two swing tops of the pattern.
It is so named because the pattern is in the form of a reversed bust of a man, with central lower swing bottoms resembling head in reverse and two higher swing bottoms on its either side resembling shoulders in reverse. Hence the name Reverse Head and Shoulder Chart Pattern.
How Reverse Head and Shoulder Chart Patterns are formed?
There are two great forces which move the price up and down. They are demand and supply. Reverse Head and shoulder is the result of extraordinary increase in demand over supply for the stock.
These are pressure areas in a downtrend. These are major target areas or major support areas where most traders wish to book profit of their short position and buy stock to create long position. Here downtrend changes into an uptrend.
In a down trend the price keep making lower low swing lows and lower low swing highs. As the target area or the support area is approached there is increased buying. As the demand increases the price rises up forming a swing low which is lower than the previous swing low. This swing low forms the reverse head of this reverse head and shoulder chart pattern formation. The previous swing low which is higher than the present swing low forms the left shoulder of this pattern.
Because of extraordinary increase in demand over supply for the stock, instead of just rising 50% to 60% of previous swing range, the price rises almost to the level of the previous swing high which is the next immediate resistance zone.
As the price reaches the resistance area many traders wants to sell stocks because it is not only a better price to sell in view of previous price fall, but also it is ideal to sell just below the resistance. So there is an increase in the supply for the stock and the price falls.
Although many traders are selling and the price is falling, it is not backed by smart money. Major funds are not selling. Instead they are interested in buying at this level. This time the price does not fall below the previous swing low. As it falls half way through buying pressure increases and the price rises making a new swing low which is higher than the previous swing low. This forms the right shoulder of this reverse head and shoulder formation.
Between the three swing bottoms which form the reversed head and shoulders of this pattern, there lies two swing tops. A trend line connecting the highest points of these swing tops and extended to right forms the resistance line for this pattern. This line is termed as neck line of this reverse head and shoulder formation.
This chart shows a Bullish Reverse Head and Shoulder Chart Pattern which is the bullish reversal pattern in a downtrend.
What is the significance of Reverse Head and Shoulder Chart Pattern?
Pattern trading is one of the strategies of making money in stock trading. Among the chart patterns reverse head and shoulder chart pattern formation gives us the opportunity to cover our short position and enter a long trade. These trades will have high rate of success.
What is invisibly going on in the market is very well expressed on the visible chart. The formation of reverse head tells us that there is heavy buying of the stock. The rising swing of the head, instead of taking resistance at 50% or 61.8%, rises above 78.6% which is an indication of the underlying strength.
Next the price fails to make lower swing low below the head and forms a higher swing low. Higher high swing low tells us that the market is not in a downtrend.
As the price rises to make the reversed right shoulder, the price faces the resistance of the neck line of the reversed head and shoulder pattern. When it breaks this resistance and rises above the previous swing high an uptrend begins. By definition uptrend is marked by higher high swing highs and higher high swing lows.
The moment you see a stock making a reversed head and shoulder chart pattern cover all your short position and get ready to go long above the neckline. Protect this long trade by placing a stop loss sell order below the reversed right shoulder.
Once the price breaks out above the neckline, 50% of the time it pulls back to test the neckline. Neckline was earlier resistance area which has now turned into a support area after the price has risen above it. Once the price rises after testing the neckline support, move the stop loss sell order to just below the swing low formed at the neckline.
The minimum target for this long trade is equal to the maximum depth of the reversed head measured from neckline and applied above the neckline from the break out point. Though this is the minimum target, many times the reward will be many times this which increases the risk to reward ratio.
This chart shows a Bullish Reverse Head and Shoulder Chart Pattern which is the bullish reversal pattern in a downtrend. The price has risen four times its minimum target. This chart is same as above chart continued in time. Here the risk to reward ratio is 1:5.
Reverse Head and shoulder without pullback performs better than the one with pullback. Tall or narrow patterns perform better than short or wide ones. Patterns which break out with heavy volume outperform those which breakout with less volume. A low volume breakout is not an indicator of an impending failure. Patterns with a horizontal neckline or up sloping neckline perform better than those with down sloping neckline.

Despite the cold, foggy and damp weather conditions – a very fast mix of old and young (mostly young!) runners departed the Start line at the Annapolis Naval Academy Stadium fairgrounds. And then, there was Jannett and I, waiting in the long lines at the porta potties when what sounded like a starting gun went off. Hmmm…they surely could not have started the race already? And by the time we arrived at the starting line – everyone was gone. Which probably justifies our really fast first mile pace – as we tried to catch up with the race crowds. The Annapolis Half Marathon event takes the runners through historic downtown Annapolis over cobblestone streets, continuing next to the Naval Academy, across the Severn river and up a very very long hill before the route begins the turn back toward the finish line. Jannett and I both finished strong, with PB’s, and no injuries!! It was a wonderful way to burn off 3000 calories, and we wasted no time treating ourselves to food and coffee! View more pics!
Just days after our return from New Orleans in early February, I tore my calf muscle while running. For the last time. According to CHI Running, I have forgotten how to run like a child. And this has been going on for quite some time – if you do the math. But don’t. You get the point.
The notion of just changing ONE thing at a time, is logical, and applies to making good decisions about what component of biomechanics to adjust – before adjusting something else. All well and good, unless you have a half marathon (13.1 mile) race staring you in the face – and you can no longer even walk. I experimented with barefoot shoes, minimalist shoes, 5 finger shoes until I gave myself tendonitis in my achilles. My walking speed went from a mid-12 minute mile…to 22 minutes per mile. I no longer remember the last time I went running, and yet the date for the Iron Girl Half Marathon (on April 29) crept closer.
I signed up for a CHI running workshop in early March, which was intended to return my running to those carefree days as a child. Instead, my calf muscle insisted on behaving like an adult, and running or walking became a distant memory. It was time for a break from the torture, and aqua jogging became my new best friend.
Every day, and some days – for hours at a time – I donned my purple floatie and plunked my pavement deprived body into the deep end of the public pool. And started jogging. Aqua jogging is the best exercise when all joints and muscles fail. And soon I would discover, this amazing hydro resistance movement was not only a great workout – it eventually saved me from complete body meltdown.
But wait, I’m not done changing everything all at once. I stared at the videos of my running gait – and noted that I had become a “heel striker”. It was a dreaded label. Akin to being the last bench pick for any sport. “Oh…not her…she’s a heel striker”. Leave her on the bench. Being a heel striker, meant that I had morphed into running like an adult. Which is why my calf, achilles (and now planter facia) and I were no longer on speaking terms.
For years, I had walked the walk, and run the run…as a heel striker. There is only so much a body can take. So, I enlisted the help of Coach Dave – a long time running coach in Michigan. He kindly reviewed my YouTube run mania – and astutely noted my cadence needed to be faster, and my elongated arm swing were pumping the wrong direction. I worked on these relentlessly while in the pool. The half marathon is now a month away. I wonder what pavement feels like.
Meet Coach Gwen. She is a local CHI running coach, and determined to return me to my childlike running form. I spent nearly 2 hours with her, walking in a large circle – in the slowest motion possible. If you really want to know how slow we walked…think of a turtle. A turtle would have passed me. I learned how to walk, without engaging my calf muscle. It was all new and exciting…but I now had 3 weeks to perfect this and transform it into running. 3 weeks til the half marathon.
For the next 2 weeks, everywhere I walked…I had to think it through. I was relearning how to release my foot from the ground, and place it back down again…without ever touching the heel. Relearning how to walk is a monumental task, and can be frightening (to others) when performed in public places. Such as the grocery store. From the car, through the parking lot – to the store entrance – could easily take me 20 minutes (100 feet). Senior citizens stopped to stare. Women with small children, quickly grabbed their hands and hurried in another direction. What is wrong with that lady? But I didn’t care. I wasn’t going back to my “heel striking” days.
Just over 1 week to race day, – I jogged. For the first time. It was slow, and the run was filled with adjustments (ouch – that hurt, or ooh that doesn’t hurt..let’s keep this up) but I made it 4.5 miles. And at the end, my calf muscles and achilles were NO LONGER complaining. I was riding high, and things were looking up. It is now 8 days before the half marathon – and I had just completed ONE run at 4.5 miles in the last 2+ months.
But wait, let’s change one more thing. Now 7 days before for the half marathon – it rained and the temps were 40 degrees. Which meant I had a full day indoors to come up with a new plan to injure myself. I decided to really nix the “heel striker” label once and for all. You see, I would spend the day, walking around on hardwood floors ONLY on the balls of my feet (as if wearing stilettos …which is foreign to me BTW). For 12 hours…I walked ONLY on the balls of my feet, and by 10PM Sunday night – I had managed to give myself an acute flareup of metatarsalgia. Smooth move, sista groove.
I can’t put any weight on my right foot. Let’s just say things are now looking grim for this half marathon. Paddy had to help me gimp my way into the aquatics center for my daily dose of aqua jogging. I had returned to heel striking – as the only way to get around. No weight at all on the ball of my foot. I started consuming Alieve, tumeric (a special brew from some remote section of Vietnam), and experiemented with 6 different insoles and foot pads to shove into my sneakers. I cut holes in the insoles at the ball of my foot to alleviate the pain. The day before the half marathon, the most I had walked was to my mailbox and back. And that was with crunched toes and pain.
It is now race day – April 29 – and Emma and I met in the parking lot to go over the race details. We had originally planned to run this together – mother-daughter style. But there was no way I could keep up with her. Instead, I had my backup plans lined up. Paddy was on telephone standby. Who knows how far I will go. 100 yards? 1 mile? It may take me the day (or 2) to complete 13.1 miles – so everyone keep your phones charged.
I gimped my way to the starting line, and Emma seemed worried about leaving me alone on the race. I insisted that she run by herself, and call me when she reaches mile 12. This way, we can figure out a rendezvous point. I may not even make it to the first mile. The race started, and I stayed in the back of the pack. Along with my new peeps and comrades.
I stepped gingerly over the starting line, and began a shuffle back-n-forth mid foot to mid foot, as the first steps were all about pain avoidance. It appears that I can shuffle along with the back-of-the-packers, as long as I keep my toes scrunched to prevent any impact to the ball of my right foot. I listened to random chatter, ranging from some lady who had dropped 400 pounds and was constantly injured, to another who is inflicted with chronic bronchitis. My foot pain seemed inconsequential to all of that.
I had reached the mile 1 marker, and was still shuffling along. Amazing – considering the longest distance in the past week was to my mailbox and back. Some of the peeps-in-the-pack had started walking. I kept the slow-mo shuffle going until somewhere between mile 2 and 3. At that point, my quads started aching – probably due to this bizarre toe scrunching shuffle that I was performing. I knew if my quads where aching now, I had to make an adjustment or my time on the race course would soon be over.
So I started leaning forward…just a little…the CHI thing…the childlike runner. It seemed that when I leaned forward, I went faster. Now fast was never a thought that crossed my mind, as I’m still consumed with pain management – but the notion of going faster AND not activating new pain was workin’.
Around mile 3, the most bizarre thing happened. I started passing people. I was leaning and passing. My toes were still scrunched up, and I was avoiding ball of foot contact…but maybe…just maybe I could actually DO the 13.1 miles. It is now mile 6, and I have not changed a thing since mile 3. I didn’t dare. It was working, and I was approaching the 1 steep hill at the halfway point. Everyone was walking. Everyone but me. I couldn’t stop, I couldn’t walk…I had to keep the running gait I had discovered back at mile 3 – or risk never finding the fine line between pain management and finishing. I ran up that hill, and knew at this point, that I would make it to the finish line.
I ran past every water station, and I even ran past mile 8. Mile 8 is where the volunteers were handing out chocolate. That was hard, but I kept running. Another hill at mile 10, where many were walking. Not me. I had become Forrest Gump and there was no stopping til I reached the finish line.

A former Canadian Pacific Railway hotel built in the Scottish Baronial style, the Banff Springs Hotel has been called the Castle in the Rockies. Few other hotels in North America can rival its grandeur.
Tucked in Alberta’s Banff National Park, the hotel was built between 1887 and 1888 and opened to the public that year. At the time, though, the hotel looked almost nothing like it does today. The original 1888 structure was clad in shingles with stone accents, and featured a dormers, turrets, and roof lines. The building, in a sense, was a $250,000 mistake; the builder goofed and changed the intended orientation of the building, turning its back on the mountain vista.
A major overhaul in 1906 began with the construction of the Painter Tower, named after chief architect Walter Painter, which was the tallest building in Canada upon completion. The eleven story tower, made of concrete and stone, was filled with 300 guest rooms and flanked by two large wings that were added later. The renovations weren’t completed until 1928.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Banff Springs Hotel is currently operated and owned by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. As it is within walking distance of Banff and, though it offers championship golf courses, the primary recreational attractions are winter-based, the hotel was weatherized in 1968 and has been open year-round ever since.
The world renowned skiing continues to draw visitors, but the hotel’s grand spa is also a major attraction. Solace Spa offers separate dressing and shower areas, private massage rooms, whirlpools, and aromatherapy saunas. All of those amenities are complemented by waterfalls, a salt-water pool, and other fresh-water pools of various sizes and temperatures.
This iconic Canadian railway hotel has long said to be haunted. Look for the grand staircase where a bride is said to have fallen and broken her neck on her wedding day in the 1920's. Hotel guests have reporting hearing noises in the bridal suite and seeing images of a flowing apparition in a wedding gown on the stairs.Sam McCauley worked as a bellman for many years and retired in 1967 from the grand hotel. According to legend Sam told his colleagues that he would return. Passing away a few years later, guests report being helped by a gentleman in a very old fashioned uniform when they are locked out of their room. Upon trying to tip him the helper disappears.

I retired from the U.S. Air Force in 2008, then continued to work as a physician assistant until I retired from medicine in 2014. Since then I have been enjoying travel on an intermittent basis. I would like to be able to continue to travel North America and experience new communities. Combining my love of travel and animals just makes sense.
House sitting is a logical solution for me. It will allow me to travel and keep my costs under control. I will be able to immerse myself into new communities to obtain a greater appreciation for these great countries (US and Canada). The added benefit for you is that you get a responsible animal lover who will treat your pets as his own, and hopefully minimize the emotional turmoil that animals can experience with the absence of their humans.
My girlfriend and I have pets of our own (2 cats and 1 dog). I've been a dog lover since I was a child. As a retired physician assistant I do have medical knowledge and the ability to keep a cool head and think rationally in the face of an urgent situation.
John was great! His calm demeanor was very reassuring since he was dealing with older cats who can sometimes seem to be needy. Our kitty, Tiny , is still sitting outside of the bedroom John stayed in and meowing for him! His patience was so appreciated.
Our home looked lovely when we returned and he was so nice to drive us to and from the airport.
We would welcome John back anytime and give him the highest recommendation possible!
Aw! And I miss Tiny! He's such a sweet cat. Thank you!
John did two consecutive housesits and both were great.
John house sat for me twice and was excellent. I came back to a clean home and a happy dog. I would highly recommend John for your house/pet sitting needs.
Thank you! What a pleasure it was to look after your home and dog!
I have had the pleasure of knowing John for 4 years. We have been friends for that time but have also worked together on various projects throughout the years as well.
John is one of the most reliable people I have ever met. He takes on any responsibility or task and gives it his full attention and makes sure that the end results meet his high standards. He's also one of the most caring people I've met, particularly with animals. He has helped me organize and structure my home to make it safe for my newly adopted blind cat. He will stop whatever he is working on to play with my highly energetic ginger cat who just wants attention, which is all the time. He has built ramps and beds and all kinds of adaptive equipment for his elderly dachshund. He loves these animals like they are his own human children.
I can't say enough good things about John. He will take care of your pets and your home like they are his own. I know this because that's what he does when he stays with me.

Look for sweet potato noodles in Asian or Korean grocery stories, or use soba noodles or even spaghetti works too. The dish is super easy to prepare, and it tastes delicious. If you are a big fan on Asian flavor, such as sesame oil, sesame seeds, and soy sauce, etc, you will not be able to resist this mouth-watering Japchae.
Cook the noodles according to the direction on the package.
Drain well and toss noodles with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
Meanwhile heat the oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the garlic, ginger, scallions and chopped cilantro stems, stirring constantly, and cook for about 1 minute until very fragrant.
Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, wood ears, mushrooms, and celery, stirring often, and cook until vegetables are tender, mushrooms are browned, about 8 minutes.
Mix in the soy sauce, vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, red pepper flakes if using, remaining chopped cilantro leaves and sesame seeds until well combined.
Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, season to taste with more soy sauce, vinegar or sesame oil if needed.
Divide among the serving plates.
Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with kimchi if desired.

Phytophthora (Pc) dieback is a grave threat to WA’s native bushland.
Our Environmental team have all the experience and accreditations required to treat and protect your bushland or reserve from infection. This comprehensive process starts with detailed assessment and mapping and covers post-treatment rehabilitation and training.
Our assessment includes reviewing all database records, including soil types and groundwater data.
After this, we conduct detailed field assessments and collect samples of infected areas according to DBCA recommendations. These are analysed at the Murdoch University Centre for Phytophthora Science and Management (CPSM).
We determine the correct cause of death by assessing the plant types found in the area and looking out for any recently dead specimens of a susceptible species, also known as Indicator Species Death (ISDs).
It is critical to complete this process thoroughly. This cancels out other influences like drought, other infections, external vectors like rabbits or native animals, or negligent hygiene practices.
Using the data we design and implement systematic surveys of the affected and adjacent bush areas.
From here, we map out the bushland area into low and high impact infected areas and zones. We use this to create the optimal treatment plan for your requirements.
We can administer a variety of treatments according to the plant requirements and severity and spread of infection. Our team are fully trained to inject and spray susceptible vegetation, including all understory and adjacent vegetation.
You will receive regular progress reports and full documentation of our treatments at every step of this process. This includes relevant GPS data for GIS.
We use DWG recommended phosphite solution and are licensed by the WA Department of Health. Our treatments follow the DBCA’s Interpreter’s Manual, and we hold the required APVMA permit for off-label phosphite use.
Phosphite solution increases the plant’s natural defences against infection, and prevents spread of infection to other uninfected plants in the area.
Once treatment is complete, we re-evaluate the area. We determine the best practice for ongoing protection, management, and prevention of Pc dieback infection.
Having an effective prevention strategy is the only way to ensure that your bushland is safe from Phytophthora dieback. A key factor of success is maintaining strict quarantine and hygiene practices across your team.
Our staff have the experience and qualifications to assess and treat your bushland before the infection spreads. We can also train your team to do the same and prevent any reoccurring infection.
Want to manage and protect your bushland for the future?
Start your Phytophthora dieback treatment plan today and safeguard your bushland or reserve for the future.
Prevention is the best cure, so get prepared early. We can work with you and your team to prepare a comprehensive prevention plan, and provide the skills and knowledge needed to ensure your area remains free from infection.
