When there is nothing left in her, when the air boils in her throat and the muscles of her limbs scream and her toes, crushed together unnaturally in thick leather boots, throb with pain: then there is sand, and the sound of the sea.
Too exhausted for relief, she lowers the child from her shoulders and sinks, herself, down. She is on her back. The sand holds her. She claws at her bindings blindly, face-up and drinking in starlight. Her fingers are blocks beating against fabric, and then, and then, the shocking bliss of cool air on her feet, of sea air ruffling the sail-like skin that connects her long delicate dactyls. The flesh is pinched red, the soft lines of scales raw highlights. She weeps tearlessly as she raises her legs, feet forming a fan of flesh above her. The sky is far too alive. Stars show through the translucent film of her toes; galaxies blink between the digits.
Blunt, vestigial claws fumble at her cheek, walking along the flesh to her jawline. She closes her eyes. Instinct directs his hands. As he paws the sack of skin around her gullet, her mouth falls open, and her child pushes his own eagerly into it. She feels the little darting of his forked tongue about the soft flesh of her cheeks, slipping further, sliding longer, and her esophagus spasms, bringing half-digested food up to him.
There is not much. The remains of a small dustrat; the slimed husks of insects. The fires and chemicals destroyed most of the fauna from the grasslands or forced them to flee.
Theirs is a time of running.
When the child has had his fill and slides from her – only then does she swallow the meager remains. Her breath is quick and repulses her: wretched meat.
Impoverished as it is, the organic matter is reviving. She has walked a long way, and on feet that were not made to be bound. The air chills her naked flesh, and she sits up, looking around. She has to blink; the lamp of the moon is dazzling in its brightness, frosting the waves that come in gentle rolls, hushing solace. The sea extends to deep blue horizon and there—there—a yellow light signals the mainland and prayed-for safety.
The channel is not wide for a body of water—and yet it is a sea, and she must cross it, still. Her toes flex, remembering the ache of the boots now discarded upon sand. Her feet must bear the burden of her and her son's bodies across the water. She will fail without the strength of yajiri, the running wind. But the trancelike state calls for rest, and she is death-weary.
Behind them, away from the sea, the land is a spastic mess of brittle grass and strewn stones that seem to tumble over themselves in an infinite and grim covering. An orange glow, sickening the black night sky, blots the light of stars and reminds her of that which they have fled. A city where she had hoped to raise her son, that now lies smoldering in crackling chemical fire. A monument to a tyrant.
She looks down at her son as he cuddles himself on the sand beside her. Anger coils at the sight of his khudha. The skin and spines that make up the crest running from the top of his brow to the crown of his head are half-burned off, pink and glistening, burnt by the chemical weapons. She turns her head and spits in the direction of the city's burning.
She shivers again. This time it is not from the cold.
The child is mewling again.
She lies to her son.
He pauses, and she exhales in relief. Closes her eyes.
She does not let him finish. She strikes him across the cheek with the flat of her palm. The child does not cry. He is shocked into silence.
She scoops up sandy earth and shucks it across his lips: the universal gesture for punishing unclean words. Her child glares at her through tears, recoiling, and begins to cry. Soft, fluting cries that are muted by the shushing of the sea, by the conspiring murmur of the grasses.
The sky flickers orange behind them.
Grand Prime. The Burning King. Sovereign of Charred Corpses.
There is no shelter on this shore, and yet the air is warm (superheated from the weapons, no doubt), and she is too tired to walk any further. She rolls onto her side and flexes her feet. Stretching out her legs, feeling the low humming in her muscles signaling the beginning of yajiri. She focuses on it hungrily and wills her body to draw power from the meager food she has consumed.
She pulls her son to her, enfolding him in her limbs. He grasps at her gratefully and his fear is forgotten. The stubble of his ruined khudha plays under her chin. She whispers one more curse to the Grand Prime, and a prayer to the Prophet, and yajiri swells with the last syllable of the orison. Her limbs tingle with energy. Adrenaline amplifies the beating of her heart. Blood quickens within her, swelling her muscles, muffling her hearing as it roars in her head.
The trance is disrupted by the sounds of braying. Animal sounds: chattering, high. Warbling murder.
She is on her feet. She strains to listen.
Her body is half-stunned by the sudden chaos of impressions her heightened senses collect and, for a moment, she does not know which way to turn. Every sound is a threat.
The water is at her back, and there are figures cresting the dome of the beach. Humanshapes, undoubtedly men. Four of them. They spot her instantly. She knows one of them is her husband. She cannot but recognize the shape of the body that has been so dear to her for so long.
There are three other shapes: writhing, snakelike things, furred mammals, weasels the size of small cattle.
They strain at the leashes that hold them—and then they, too, see her. They fall into a bobbing run, heads whipping up and down in nightmare agility, dragging their human handlers behind them.
He has brought fa'ar to hunt us.
He has actually brought fa'ar to hunt his own wife and child.
The creatures and their controllers alike will be upon them in moments.
She hears her name being called on the wind and looks to her son.
She snatches him from the sand and scans the sea. He is a warm ball of sacred flesh in her arms, mumbling protest. The waters are flat and forgiving and promise mercy. Bones groan within her limbs, the skin of her feet pinches tenderly. She is not yet ready—the trance has not yet taken full possession of her – and yet she has no choice. She secures her son to her front and pushes the folds of the blanket into the spaces between them, praying that it will hold him, praying that it will keep him warm.
Yajiri is jittering her muscles, souring her stomach sick with anticipation. It is like peering over the cliff's edge before the fall, courted by gravity.
She hoists him to her front and runs for the edge of the water. Her feet are broad umbrellas of flesh, her hips swinging like a pendulum with each bounding, slapping step.
It is the waterwalk, and yajiri has her.
Her husband's voice calls out.
She hesitates in the shallows. The tidal slime is cold as it plays about her toes: colder than she had anticipated. The far shoreline is a darkened haze on the horizon; fear, and her husband's voice, curls fingers around her.
The men pause meters from her, straining to control their fa'ar. She faces them, clutching her son. She bares her fangs and raises her khudha high in warning.
Her husband's three companions hold the fa'ar from frayed leather leashes, angling their lithe bodies backwards to keep the beasts from falling upon the mother and child. The fa'ar snarl and whine. Their eyes fix on the child held in her arms.
"Hand over the child, Alissha." There is no remorse in his voice. There is nothing at all.
The child wriggles in her arms—and she clutches the back of his head and pushes his face into her shoulder. The man does not deserve to look upon the face of his son.
She gestures to the burned crest on their son's head and hisses her shame at the men. She takes a step backward, deeper into freezing seawater.
"Not this way, Alissha. Not this way. The world is watching this. They will help us! Any day now they will send their boats for us. We will be saved." He is pleading now.
The men shout at her, all at once. Words that sicken her. Humanity. Patience. Respectability. Below the words, the fa'ar whine their hunger.
Khudha flaring, she holds the child out in her arms. All four men—their own khudha encased in headgear—fall silent. Shame threads them. Their boots scuff sand. The fa'ar hiss, flattening themselves against the ground. Readying for the leap.
Bending down, she scoops up sand with one hand and scatters it at them; the wind takes it obligingly, dusting the men.
The man next to Ibliss releases his fa'ar.
The creature is nerve-fast, a blur of fur and fang.
She feels yajiri take her legs. The muscles of her body harden, and she leaps as the fa'ar reaches her, leaps up and across the surf, launching herself onto the surface of the water. The webs of her feet catch air and flap themselves open.
She careens below sky (do not betray me, do not betray me) and she is on the water, and above it, her hips rotating to make step after slapping step on the liquid's surface. The first impact is perfect. She has to be fast; she picks up speed with every smack of foot upon the film of the ocean's surface. The impacts buoy her and become rhythm. Air bubbles catch beneath her toes, and she springs from them as if shocked, leaping across the water. Down, side, back, down side back: faster, faster, faster. Speed sustains it.
She trills something like triumph, something like a goodbye to the life darkening on the shore behind her. Wind echoes her call against the surface of her skin. Behind her the men roar, forgotten. The fa'ar spiral and snap in the shallows, for the creatures cannot swim, and the men will not run.
The city and the men and the burning become memories flung to the winds, foul smoke cleared away in the rush of running. Now the water is endless around them. Mother and son. Her legs hum with strength, her arms grasp her child to her with an energy that seems limitless. Yajiri moves her and she is running like the foremothers: creatures of wind, creatures of water. It is effortless.
To run like this forever!
To run, and run, on cooling water, where no fire falls.
Sky dissolves into the colors of dawn above them. Clean light, sun-light, illuminates the harried shapes of clouds.
Her feet begin to sting. The sensation comes slowly, growing with each beat.
The water seems to slap harder, hitting her rather than propelling her.
She pumps her legs harder, lifts higher. Slapping back. Strike, strike, strike. She cannot slow. She must not sink, stone-skipping on webbed feet. On and on and ever on. Her arms burn with the effort of bearing her child.
How could one not run like this forever?
How could one ever stop?
Is there noise ahead, above? Something flying or watching or waiting in the awakened clouds?
Lightening around her: daybreak. No welcome in these clouds. Rows of black figures, shadow-people, on a shore that is still distant before her and that is not her home. Mist plays around the meeting of stone and sand and sea.
She does not look at the webs of her feet. She does not dare to see what she feels. Her steps are slower, less efficient, minimizing the frequency of impacts to spare her tender flesh the agony. Yajiri is draining out of her yet she cannot stop. She will go forward or she will go down, dragging her son to a death in ocean depths. The thought of the limitless expanse beneath them chills her.
She feels the top of her son's head, ruffs his khudha. The child moans and shifts against her. His claws grasp at the flesh of her throat but there is no more food left. There is nothing left. She is perforated with pain.
Puttering sounds pepper the air around her. Water splashes in minute clusters, spraying the sides of her legs, and she thinks for a moment that it is rain.
The line of figures on the shore are dressed in black and helmeted. They are short; squat silhouettes. Searchlights cleave the groggy daybreak. Myriad bursting flares, like winking eyes, glitter along the line of soldiers.
They are shooting at her.
Crying out, almost breaking the surface of the water, she throws her body sideways – into the line of fire. Shielding her son.
She tries to holler to him to hold on, unsure in her terror if her words vocalize.
She turns and runs, parallel to the shoreline. Her only hope now is to find acceptance further along the grey roil of its expanse.
She cannot go much further. They will drown.
Pain bursts across her shoulder. Adrenaline salves it, yajiri floods her with the last of its bewitchment. Wetness soaks her chest and neck and she cannot but run, her feet pulsing over the vastness of ocean beneath them.
The cliffs vanish behind them, as do the soldiers—and there is the open sea to her left and rocky shore to her right. Her feet find the miles: over and over. Down, back up. Down, back up. She cannot stop until she is sure.
Her vision lightens. Her son sags in her arms, the muscles of her limbs almost spent. Her back burns with the effort of keeping itself absolutely rigid; if it sags, if her weight displaces, they will sink like boulders. They are separated from Death only by the skin of the sea.
More voices on the wind: people. Again.
Humming above: vehicles of some kind.
If they shoot, they shoot. I have tried. We will die on unbound feet that tried to find freedom.
She turns and runs toward the shore once more. Her body glistens with water and something that is not water and that she will not look at.
Her feet hit bottom and she collapses onto blessed earth. The sand rustles against her cheeks as if in welcome; she lies on her front, arcing her body over her swaddled child.
Pink faces loom over her. The sea is shockingly liquid after her flight and no longer buoys her; the surf pools around her cruelly, back and forth, threatening to drag her back out.
Slipping into unconsciousness, she babbles words. She tries to speak to the people, still unbelieving that she has finally found safety among these foreigners.
Hands haul her upright. The weight of her son is no longer on her. She turns, stumbling against smooth-skinned strangers (her legs cannot support her, the webbing of her feet is shredded, the bones are broken), and she sees in her blood-clouded vision the form of him still in the dark blanket, unmoving on sand. His mouth and eyes are open. Seawater rushes up, fills them, withdraws. As it leaves him it whorls a brilliant scarlet. Bubbles collect around his mouth and nostrils.
Blinking, looking from one face to the other, she is met with a crowd of strangers, smooth-fleshed and soft-looking, fragile. Hands reach out to brush the knobs of her scaled skin and the ruff of her khudha. She has no energy to protest it.
White noise and grey fog fill her mouth and eyes and ears. She sees the fingers of her son twitch.
He is alive. He is still alive.
Air whistles within her gullet. It does not make words. Miraculously, hideously, she is rendered mute. The hands about her shoulders give her a vigorous shake; she feels the bones move in her body.
Roaring, roaring. Pious protest deafens her.
The sounds pin her neatly, from the crown of her head to her ruined feet.
The orator reaches his conclusion to thunderous applause. She is shaken, mouth open, unseeing. Smooth hot arms pull her deep into the center of the crowd; countless faces, the one indistinguishable from the other. Drones jostle for position above her; hot-white lights blind her, flashing red dots blink.
She is tugged in every direction. Her ruined feet stumble on rocks that rear like daggers.
—but there are no words left, there is nothing left, and she is locked within people and pulled away by the crowd, imprisoned in arms and erased within a sea of humanity.
The shoreline is quiet now, the sea hushing. Stones and pebbles tumble in marches. Retreating and withdrawing.
The child looks like any other boulder in the muddy boundary between sand and surf. Dark in fabric, he is a humped shape in the tide. Blood streaks water around him. A man and woman, having broken away from the crowd, stand over the child.
The woman's face opens in wonder, tears shining in her eyes.
"The woman's son. She was carrying him across the water." The man chews once. He looks thoughtful.
"These people are so beautiful. Look at this skin! Doesn't it remind you of little jewels? The poor thing!" The woman cries, reaching for her companion's shoulder. Her fist clenches. "Why is the world so stupid?" The man and woman embrace, holding their faces close and sharing sorrow.
"Disgusting," the woman hisses. "I, for one, will not be voting for their representative next month." She grits her teeth, truly meaning it. The man grunts in agreement.
Tide plucks the covering away from the child's body. His eyes are wide open now: a luminous green, and unseeing. The soft spines of his khudha splay across the soaking sand.
"We need a record of this," the woman says.
The man drops to his haunches and pulls out a knife. The woman pushes her fist into her mouth. She does not look away.
"Such a shame," the man says as he shears the burned crest from the child's head. "These people are so resilient. Feel how tough the skin is! Even on the crest... it's a wonder that bullets could end his life." Standing, he exhales and shakes blood from his fingers.
The woman nods solemnly. "What a world we live in," she offers, finally. The last syllables devolve into a gaping-mouthed yawn, and she stretches her hands up to the greying sky.
"Yes." The man crouches again and washes his hands and the blade of his knife in the tide of the sea that returns, withdraws, and returns, persisting.

South of Adelaide, in an important agricultural area with a Mediterranean climate, McLaren Vale is famous most of all for its shiraz, intense, dark, and ripe, though sometimes more elegant than its Barossa counterparts. Cabernet sauvignon, grenache, and chardonnay, among other grapes, also do well in the region, and there is promising sangiovese produced here as well.
Also in the Region
Penley Estate Hyland Shiraz 2009
Usually producing tannic, earthy, high-alcohol wines, mourvèdre, which is believed to be Spanish in origin, is an important grape in the southern Rhône and Provence (it is used most characteristically in the wines of Bandol), in southeastern Spain (where it is called monastrell), in California (where it was originally planted under the Spanish name mataró), and in Australia, where it is bottled as a single varietal but also in GSM (grenache-syrah-mourvèdre) blends.
Serve With
Roast meats and other simply cooked lamb and beef dishes, steaks and chops, barbecue, meat stews, wild game, wild mushrooms, pasta with meat sauce, and Cheddar- or Gouda-type cheeses.

Q: How to rename many images after processing with different parameters Hello dear programmers,
I have a sequence of images and I would like to perform dilation on each of them with different dilation parameters. Then, I would like to save the processed images with new name including both the old name and the corresponding dilation parameter. My codes are as follows.
Input_folder =
Output_folder =
D = dir([Input_folder '*.jpg']);
Inputs = {D.name}';
Outputs = Inputs; % preallocate
%print(length(Inputs));
for k = 1:length(Inputs)
    X = imread([Input_folder Inputs{k}]);
    dotLocations = find(Inputs{k} == '.');
    name_img = Inputs{k}(1:dotLocations(1)-1);
    image1=im2bw(X);
    vec = [3;6;10];
    vec_l = length(vec);
    for i = 1:vec_l
    %se = strel('disk',2);
        fprintf(num2str(vec(i)));
        se = strel('diamond',vec(i)); %imdilate
        im = imdilate(image1,se);
        image2 = im - image1;

        Outputs{k} = regexprep(Outputs{k}, name_img, strcat(name_img,'_', num2str(vec(i))));
        imwrite(image2, [Output_folder Outputs{k}])
    end
end

As it can be seen, I would like to apply dilation with parameters 3,6 and 10. Let us assume that an image has as name "image1", after processing it, I would like to have "image1_3", "image1_6" and "image1_10". However, I am getting as results "image1_3", "image1_6_3" and "image1_10_6_3". Please, how can I modify my codes to fix this problem?

A: This is because you rewrite each item of the Outputs variable three times, each time using the previous value to create a new value. Instead, you should use the values stored in Inputs new names. Another mistake in your code is that the size of Inputs and Outputs are equal, while for every file in the input folder, three files must be stored in the output folder.
I also suggest using fileparts function, instead of string processing, to get different parts of a file path.
vec = [3;6;10];
vec_l = length(vec);
Outputs = cell(size(Inputs, 1)*vec_l, 1); % preallocate
for k = 1:length(Inputs)
    [~,name,ext] = fileparts([Input_folder Inputs{k}]);
    % load image
    for i = 1:vec_l
        % modify image
        newName = sprintf('%s_%d%s', name, vec(i), ext);
        Outputs{(k-1)*vec_l+i} = newName;
        imwrite(image2, [Output_folder newName])
    end
end

Directed by film maker Rathindra TM book, this was a second video after the original Kodaikanal Won't video which protested Unilever's TM book of toxic mercury in the South Indian hill town of Kodaikanal, which is said to have poisoned its workers and the forest. This series really does have it all. The TM program — solution to all problems? During TM, the body enjoys a profoundly rejuvenating rest, while the brain functions with significantly greater coherence. As Kate closes in on the truth in the stifling Mediterranean heat, she realises too late that the stakes are far higher than she ever imagined. It ended in one heck of a cliffhanger and I was more than ready to find out what happens next… The first thing I thought after finishing this book was WOW.
Overall a great synthesis of deep experience and understanding of the practice of meditation. Transcendental Meditation allows the active TM book mind to settle inward to experience a naturally calm, peaceful TM book of awareness. All possible confusions, whether about superior perceptual-motor performance, auditory discrimination or other tongue-twisters, get cleared up in a joyful tongue-in-cheek manner. Three families. The normative domain of what we owe to each other is meant to encompass those duties to other people which we bear in virtue of their standing as rational creatures. As Kate closes in on the truth in the stifling Mediterranean heat, she realises too late that the stakes are far higher than she ever imagined.

From Athens to Boston: Bladder exstrophy patient made "the best choice"
Posted on 06 Nov 2013 by Scott Howe
Posted in Diseases & Conditions, Our Patients' Stories, Parenting
More On: bladder exstrophy, bladder exstrophy program, Joseph Borer, our patients' stories
This past February, Giorgios Bampos was born in Athens, Greece, with a rare urological condition called bladder exstrophy. Deeply concerned for their son and committed to learning all they could about the condition and its treatment, his parents spoke with medical experts in their home country and extensively researched on the Internet. They quickly determined that Boston Children's Hospital was the best place for their son to get well.
"The day my son was born was a very difficult day. They told me he had a problem. I did not know what it was. I was very scared at first," according to Theodos Bampos, the boy's father.
Soon, Theodos came to understand the complex nature of his son's problem. Bladder exstrophy is a congenital condition in which a baby is born with the bladder inside-out and exposed on the outside of the body. Affecting only about one in every 40,000 babies born, bladder exstrosphy is treated through surgery early in a baby's life and then monitored with regular follow-up as the child grows.
Joseph Borer, MD
One of the main reasons the Bampos family chose Boston Children's was the hospital's experience in treating the condition. According to Joseph Borer, MD, director of the hospital's bladder exstrophy program, Boston Children's cares for between two and six newborns with bladder exstrophy each year. "This past year, we've seen four newborns," Borer reports. In addition, the hospital's team takes care of many new patients who have been treated elsewhere and need additional or follow-up treatment.
Another reason the family chose to come to Boston was the hospital's preferred method of treatment. At present, there are two main ways to approach bladder exstrophy. The "staged approach" requires that the baby undergo three procedures—one to close the bladder, one to close the urethra and one to reconstruct the bladder neck. Initial surgery takes place within days of birth.
Boston Children's favors the "single stage" or complete primary repair exstrophy (CPRE) approach—the latter of which "incorporates two of the stages of the staged repair performed at the same time," Borer says. He states that approximately 75 percent of girls and one-third of boys who undergo CPRE do not require bladder neck reconstruction surgery. "The main reason we prefer CPRE is that it can achieve all of the benefits of the staged approach with fewer surgeries," Borer says.
Borer and Rosemary Grant tend to a patient
Also, with CPRE, the initial surgery is performed when the baby is two to three months old, a delay that, Borer says, offers a number of important benefits to patients and families. "A 2-month-old baby is much better able to tolerate a major reconstructive surgery," he asserts. What's more, waiting a few weeks gives time for the family and child to bond, and it allows the family to develop a strategy for caring for the baby and preparing for the initial surgery.
During the period between birth and initial surgery, Borer communicated with the family in Greece through phone and email. Theodos even sent Borer photos of the baby, allowing the doctor to confirm the diagnosis, provide detailed explanations of the condition, as well as care and safety instructions for the family.
Borer explains that "from the baby's birth until he arrived at Boston Children's, we outlined the baby's care, letting them know what to expect." Rosemary Grant, RN, who helped coordinate Giorgios' care, says that because the Bampos family was prepared for their journey, "it really helped with Giorgios' outcome."
While in Boston, the family received tremendous support both inside and outside the hospital. Theodos explains that the Hellenic Cardiac Fund helped the family in a number of ways, even securing an apartment right next to the hospital. Child life specialists and International Health Services staff at the hospital were also there to assist the family. "During those months between birth and complete repair, we work hard to help families with day care, accommodations and continuing education," Grant says.
With all this education, attention and support, it's not surprising that Giorgios came through his initial eight-hour surgery in great shape. "Through the surgery and the immediate post-operative period, he did very well," Borer says. Post-surgery, Giorgios needed three to four weeks to heal. Then, Borer says, "he was up and about, out of his cast and moving freely."
the Bampos family and Dr. Borer
Today, Giorgios is back home in Greece, healthy and well. He's even gone to the beach, something his parents very much hoped he'd be able to do this summer. His journey, however, is far from over. Like all bladder exstrophy patients, Giorgios will need regular follow-up care throughout his life to address issues such as kidney function, bladder development and possible psychosocial concerns. With this in mind, the Boston Children's caregivers are still in contact with the Bampos family, and they are working with Giorgios' team of pediatricians in Greece to monitor his progress and prepare for his return to Boston Children's.
As for the Bampos family, they are pleased that they brought their boy to Boston. "Now that it's almost over, I'm relieved; I'm very happy; I'm at peace," says Theodos. "I also know that I made the best choice."

Nowadays, the majority of movie promotions are the same; several minute-long trailers that often spoil major plotlines of the movie and are forced on the viewer at inconvenient times.
Experiencing something in person and seeing something on a computer or mobile screen leave drastically different impressions. People spend so much time on their phones and computers that the bulk of advertising they see is quickly forgotten.
Most of the time, short ads do not leave a lasting impression like unique experiences do. Advertisements seen on personal devices can also feel intrusive, pushy, and an unwanted waste of time.
Picking locations and methods that don't intrude on people's time, don't feel forced on the viewer, and are a little out-of-the-box can create a positive, memorable, and impactful experience.
Create a Guerilla advertisement that will displayed inside a C-Train car, targeting daily commuters during a dull and repetitive part of their day. By creating a pleasurable break from the monotony of commuting, the advertisement becomes memorable, and is perceived in a positive way. By limiting the exposure time of the advertisement, we can pique the viewers' interest and leave them waiting for more.
By illustrating the Wonderland setting throughout the inside train cart in glow in the dark or UV paint, the illustrations remain hidden until the c-train enters a tunnel, at which time the c-train lights will turn off for the duration of the tunnel, revealing the illustrations. This immerses the audience in the magical setting of the story and allows them to see "life sized" versions of the characters.
"Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice, (she was so much surprised that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English)…
In both the Alice in Wonderland books, as well as movies, this is the phrase that Alice exclaims upon entering Wonderland. This quote makes a connection between Alice and the viewers of the advertisement, as they enter wonderland themselves for the very first time.
FAVOURITE CHARACTERS
Illustrations will feature some of the favourite characters seen in the movie, such as White Rabbit, The Dormouse, talking flowers, Cheshire Cat, the Caterpillar, and more.

That field of work is what has proven to be invaluable when it came to developing my people skills and problem solving techniques to what they are today.

DAD SERVING OVERSEAS MAY LOSE CUSTODY BECAUSE OF INABILITY TO APPEAR IN MICHIGAN COURTROOM
Matthew Hindes is a sailor stationed in a submarine somewhere in the Pacific. Four years after he was granted permanent custody of his child, 6-year-old-Kaylee, from his ex-wife, a circuit court judge has ordered him to appear in court over his ex-wife's custody petition filed last year. "At this point, I don't think I have any alternative but to enter a bench warrant for his arrest," Judge Margaret Noe stated Monday according to the Daily Telegram, despite reviewing a letter authenticating his service overseas. Candidly, it is very hard to understand the rationale behind this ruling just based on what
Changes in military retirement will have major impact on divorces
The new military retirement system began on January 1, 2018. The question of how retirement benefits will be divided in divorce is always important to both parties, but it just got more complicated for military divorces. On January 1, 2018, a new military retirement program began called the Uniformed Services Blended Retirement System or BRS. New features These are the key changes from the new plan: The introduction of a 401(k)-like component, called a defined contribution plan An optional bonus in exchange for a longer service commitment An optional lump sum payout at the beginning of retirement pay in exchange
Stays in Divorce Proceedings Involving Service Members
Pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ("SCRA), active duty military personnel cannot have a default judgment entered against them for failing to respond to a divorce action. The divorce proceeding may be postponed for the entire duration of active service, up to sixty (60) days thereafter. However, this stay can be waived by the active duty military personnel if he/she wishes to proceed with the divorce.

U.S. Supreme Court case will impact former and future military divorces
On behalf of Kirk Stange Complex matters concerning military retirement and disability pay are at issue. In May 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion that will impact many military divorces involving division of military retirement pay when the military spouse also becomes eligible for veterans' disability benefits. The ruling concerns legal issues that arise at a complex intersection of federal military law and state divorce law. Federal military law As background, the federal Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act gives state courts power to divide military retirement pay as community property in divorce. Another kind of benefit that
Thank You This Memorial Day
Memorial Day, a true American holiday, honors the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. The holiday is observed by: visiting cemeteries of those who went before us; holding family gatherings enjoying those that are with us; watching and participating in parades that honor the freedom that has been earned with steadfast determination. But military life is tough on families. And, sometimes, even more tough when transitioning out of the military with marriage the casualty. In a letter written by Kate Horrell posted in paycheck-chronicles.military.com, she talks about obtaining professional legal help when military

"I am proud that Iowa is being recognized for our leadership in advancing innovative and data-driven flood reduction and water quality efforts." —Terry Branstad, former Iowa governor
The Iowa Watershed Approach (IWA) is a vision for Iowa's future that voluntarily engages stakeholders throughout the watershed to achieve common goals, while moving toward a more resilient state. It is a replicable model for other communities where the landscape has lost its natural resilience to floods. This program is not only about Iowans helping Iowans, but also about demonstrating Iowans' commitment to agricultural stewardship, to the environment, to their neighbors, and to the future.
The IWA will accomplish six specific goals in each watershed: 1) reduce flood risk; 2) improve water quality; 3) increase flood resilience; 4) engage stakeholders through collaboration and outreach/education; 5) improve quality of life and health, especially for susceptible populations; and 6) develop a program that is scalable and replicable throughout the Midwest and the United States.
IWA represents a program that brings Iowans together to address factors that contribute to floods. This approach is consistent with other statewide programs in Iowa to reduce flooding and improve water quality, such as the Iowa Flood Mitigation Program and the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.
Nine district watersheds representing different Iowa landforms will serve as project sites for the IWA. Each will form a Watershed Management Authority, develop a hydrologic assessment and watershed plan, and implement projects to reduce the magnitude of downstream flooding and to improve water quality during and after flood events. Flood resilience programs will also be implemented in each watershed to help increase community resilience to future floods. The nine project watersheds are: Upper Iowa River, Upper Wapsipinicon River, Bee Branch Creek (Dubuque), Middle Cedar River, Clear Creek, English River, North Raccoon River, East Nishnabotna River, and West Nishnabotna River.

Q: How to save Facebook access token from OAuth alert dialog I have an OAuth facebook login service in a phonegap app and when executed it returns the access token in an alert dialog.
Is there a way I can save this token in localstorage for use with facebook API?
After OAuth has initialized the following code is on button click and opens the Facebook popup. User logs in and the access token is printed
OAuth.popup('facebook', function(error, result) {
    if(error) {
        alert(error); // do something with error
        return;
    }
    result.get('/me').done(function(data) {
        alert("User name: " + data.name + ". User email: " + data.email);
        facebook_service.execute({data:{
             "user_id":data.id, "access_token":result.access_token
        }});
    });
});

A: You just can use html5 localstorage object adding this at your result callback:
localstorage.setItem("myToken", result.access_token);


The family of unarmed 50-year-old Walter Scott, who was shot and killed by a North Charleston, South Carolina police officer, has reached a $6.5 million settlement with city officials, according to USA Today.
The city council signed off on the deal Thursday night at a hearing that was attended by Scott's family and their attorneys, writes the news outlet.
The April 4 shooting by ex-officer Michael Slager, who is White, reignited controversy over police violence against people of color. Scott, who was pulled over for a minor traffic infraction, was shot in the back multiple times as he tried to flee the scene, which was recorded by a bystander in a video that went viral.
Slager was charged with murder, and family members told the news service that they hope he is convicted.
North Charleston Mayor R. Keith Summey said he is pleased the city and the Scott family were able to avert a lawsuit and reach a settlement.
Relatives said the settlement will be split among Scott's children and some money will be donated to help with disaster relief efforts for recent flooding in South Carolina.
