Lit Nerd: I blinked...and missed May.
Ok, so, what happened to May? Anyone know? It was kind of there and then suddenly it wasn't. Ah the elusive month. In terms of life things May has been rather uneventful. I've been busy at my job, busy applying for jobs in London, busy seeing friends, family and the boy. In fact, I tell a lie. If I think about it May has just been one continuous stream of stuff. Job hunting and flat hunting in a city which is at least two hours away whilst I'm working a full-time job is not fun (to say the least). I am one big ball of stress. BUT, I've got a job and I have a flat (sort of) so things are slowly getting calmer.
I'm not going to plan my reading for June because, well, don't even get me started on June. If I thought May was hectic, June is going to be a whole other level of hectic. For starters I am going on holiday on Monday, although technically I am going on Sunday because we are staying at an airport hotel on Sunday night. The flight is hella early and we live a good three hours drive from Heathrow so, yeh, just no. BUT, the fact that we're going on Sunday is really quite awesome because it means my whole family will be together for a meal (that almost never happens). Anyway, holiday on Monday until the following Thursday, back to work for the Friday and then on the Saturday we are driving all the way from 'down South' to 'up North' to go to my cousins wedding. Excellent. Busy busy.
AND THEN (this is the big thing that's going to make June a mental month)... I am home for two weeks to pack up all my worldly possessions, say farewell to my friends, adieu to my boyfriend, so long to my parents before moving up to London on July 1st (which is coincidentally my birthday and the deadline for the classics spin - special day). PHEW. I'm going to be, like, an actual adult. That two weeks is going to be EMOTIONAL. I'm having a leaving thing on the last Saturday of June and I can foresee hysterical laughter followed by hysterical crying, much inebriation, and general frivolity interspersed with many confessions of love.
I am excited for June but also so very apprehensive. I've never been one to cope well with drastic changes and moving to the capital is quite a biggie. I know I'll be a jittering, emotional wreck in the week running up to the big day but I'm just going to go with it. It's London. I love London. I'm comfortable in London. I'll be with my sister. I'll be with Imogen (the third in our little party). There are museums, art galleries and theatres galore. There are new running routes to explore, a new book club to join, new people to meet. It is a good thing.
I am reading Anna Karenina for the Classics Club Spin so I'm guessing this will be my main read for the month, though hopefully I'll find some time to squeeze in another book or two. We will see. I'm going to have a no pressure reading month.
I'm going to leave you with a picture of my pooch. I think we should use it as a reminder that, no matter how bad things get, at least we don't have to wear the Cone of Shame.
Moving to London is so exciting! I lived there as a student as I still miss it.
Milly was not happy either. She kept getting stuck in doorways and she like to dig so, yes, very messy and gross.
I bet it was a good place to live as a student! I'm very excited but it is a big step so I'm nervous too. I think it will be brilliant though.
She is such a cutie! We had to get her spayed (poor thing) so it was only routine. She's right as rain again now. It is a particularly nice cone actually, although the pink does not match her personality at all!
I think I'm more excited for the books I have to read than for the trip itself!
After reading Fahrenheit I feel the need to read all the books even more just in case 'they' do decide that books are bad! That would be my idea of hell. Horrible!
So jealous you'll be living in London. I live in Utah, USA, which could very well be the most boring place on earth. And congrats on all the reading, pretty amazing you did so much with all the craziness!
Oh my goodness! You do have a lot going on! How exciting to be moving to London. To this American that sounds terribly romantic and adventurous :) I can see why your mind is spinning! I hope you'll be able to take a few moments each day and just breathe!
Happy travels and best of luck with EVERYTHING on your plate!
I'm not sure about romantic! Maybe adventurous, though! It's just completely crazy but it is a good move I think. I'll see some life rather than just cows and sheep (yes, I live in the country). Reading comes in very handy for those few minutes when I need to breathe, it's the perfect way to relax and think about something else for a change.
Even more exciting (not really, at all haha) is the fact that you get to read Anna Karenina for the first time. Just, oh that book. Damn.
Dude. Seriously, you're going to be near me. That's awesome. I will hunt you down and stalk you in person (I'm not nuts, fear not). But yeh, I think it will be awesome once I'm done with all the ARGH-ing.
You and that book! I am receiving signals from you to read it and love it. Can't wait.
What a busy time! I hope that it all goes well for you. I lived and worked in London for several years and overall I enjoyed my time, and aspects of it I really loved. All the best.
Thank you Lindsay! I know there are bits I won't like (travelling to work) but the museums will make up for that.

Series: The Opioid Epidemic In Wisconsin
Wisconsin's First Responders Take Steps To Avoid Opioid Exposure On The Job
Trace Amounts Of Some Drugs Can Endanger Emergency Workers, Lab Technicians

Wisconsin's First Responders Take Steps To Avoid Opioid Exposure On The Job

As powerful drugs like fentanyl, carfentanil and unfamiliar but chemically similar variations creep into Wisconsin's illicit opioid supply, they endanger users who may not realize how potent these substances are or even that they are present. But these novel opioids also pose dangers to the first responders and lab technicians who deal with the aftermath of overdose deaths and drug-related arrests.

When ambulance crews and law enforcement officers show up at the scene of an overdose, they don't necessarily know which specific drugs to expect at the scene. The user might not have known either, as substances like fentanyl and carfentanil are often cut into heroin or otherwise sold as something they're not. Fentanyl and its analogs are far more potent than heroin and can be absorbed through the skin — in legal medical settings, fentanyl patches are used to treat pain. If a first responder handling an overdose scene touches or perhaps inhales a small amount, he or she could also be at risk.

So far, state and federal authorities have not documented any incidents in which a first responder died after being exposed to synthetic opioids on the job. But exposures have happened. One widely circulated anecdote tells of two New Jersey police detectives who accidentally inhaled a small amount of fentanyl (mixed with both cocaine and heroin) while responding to a crime scene. Both officers reported trouble breathing, elevated heart rates and nausea, and were taken to a hospital to recover.

It's becoming increasingly common amid the opioid epidemic for police and EMS workers to carry the emergency overdose remedy naloxone — sold commercially as Narcan — and they're increasingly aware now that they might have to use it on themselves or each other.

Law enforcement and medical professionals who deal with illicit or dangerous drugs have known of these risks long before the current opioid crisis, and are trained to use protective gear (including gloves and masks) and handle emergencies on the job. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers resources and information on the occupational risks fentanyl creates. While government agencies have long had established safety protocols for how narcotics and other chemicals are to be handled during investigations, what heightens this issue is the growing prominence and potency of synthetic opioids.

With fentanyl and carfentanil playing a role in more overdose deaths in Wisconsin, emergency officials and drug investigators in the state are thinking a lot more about the dangers they face. And as illicit drug manufacturers pump out novel chemical variations of fentanyl that haven't been studied in a legitimate medical context, emergency responders go into situations not knowing what the drugs are, how they effect a user, or whether or not they can be absorbed through the skin.

"There's really no way of determining, pre-hospitalization,what that medication is or how much that individual has consumed," said Fred Hornby, conference and sales director for the Wisconsin EMS Association and a longtime emergency medical technician in Milwaukee. He worries about whether EMS agencies around the state will be able to afford the naloxone they need.

"The prices of naloxone are going way way up, sky-high, as more and more people are becoming addicted and more and more people are able to give it," Hornby said. "In Wisconsin, about 80 percent of our services are volunteer in nature, which means they don't get paid for what they do and the reimbursement issue is of a large concern."

Emergency responders who've learned to use naloxone also have to adjust as novel and more powerful opioids come into the picture. If someone has overdosed on carfentanil, they may need multiple doses of naloxone, whereas someone overdosing on heroin or oxycodone may only need one. If a person overdoses on a novel opioid that hasn't been studied very much or tested on humans, that calculation becomes even harder for a first responder under pressure.

"It's the ones we don't know about — what are they mixing today?" Hornby said.

Naloxone is also making its way into the lab. Technicians at the Wisconsin State Crime Lab facility in Milwaukee and the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene in Madison have recently been trained to use naloxone, and both labs have multiple kits on hand in case of an exposure. Some technicians might only actually test for opioids present in blood, urine or vitreous fluid samples, and are therefore less likely to be exposed to the drug itself.

The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene stocks two naloxone brands in its toxicology testing area.

Labs do keep reference samples of drugs to have a baseline of comparison for the chemical makeup and concentrations of test results. Sometimes these samples are in powder form, but lately it's become more common for them to be dissolved in liquid, said Amy Miles, forensic toxicology director at the state hygiene lab. However, such reference samples won't exist for a novel opioid that's been illicitly manufactured and has never been formulated or tested in a legitimate medical context.

"Since there isn't a lot of concrete data out there that it's not transdermally absorbed, coupled with the potential for some of the analogues to be aerosolized, we wanted to take every precaution necessary," Miles noted in an email [emphasis in original].

Scott Gordon

The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene stores the tissue samples it tests for the presence of opioids, alcohol and other drugs in a walk-in refrigerator.

Both Miles and Leah Macans, head of safety for the Milwaukee state crime lab facility, said they began hearing about labs acquiring naloxone only over the past couple of years while attending professional conferences. But this medication's presence is not necessarily a disturbing presence in a laboratory setting, where workers have already been trained to take safety precautions and use safety equipment ranging from gloves and masks to fire blankets and eyewash stations. And even in public places, people are increasingly accustomed to seeing first aid kits and automated external defibrillators (also called an AED).

"Narcan in the lab is, I think, just more about people feeling that we're taking the steps as a lab to make sure that everyone is safe," Macans said. "I think it's unsettling that there's potential for that exposure, but we never know what we're going to get here for cases."

At the state crime lab's Milwaukee location, which gets a positive test result for fentanyl just about every day, the naloxone kits are distributed strategically, Macans said. A few are kept in the controlled substances lab, a few are placed in the evidence intake area where staff handle drug-related evidence before testing, and another is located next to an AED unit.

The Wisconsin State Crime Lab facility in Milwaukee has multiple Narcan kits ready should any staff be exposed to opioids.

Wisconsin Department of Justice

Robert Bell, who leads the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's Milwaukee office, said that some DEA agents are trained in the use of naloxone and some are not. He said the agency tells its personnel to keep potential opioids sealed up as much as possible before they can be tested in a controlled laboratory setting.

While saying that he didn't want to "bellyache" on behalf of law enforcement given all the harm opioids have done to families across the country, Bell acknowledged that officials have a heightened concern these days about exposure.

"We've very concerned about our investigators and agents," he said.

Wisconsin's First Responders Take Steps To Avoid Opioid Exposure On The Job was originally published on WisContext which produced the article in a partnership between Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television.

Law enforcement, first responders and toxicology labs keep drug overdose treatments like Narcan and Evzio on hand in case of occupational exposure to opioids.

A thrilling heist film, starring Charlie Cox (Stardust), Kate Mara (Iron Man 2), Robert Carlyle (Eragon), and Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy), that retells the incredible true story of four young Scottish college students who, in 1951, successfully outwitted English authorities to return the Stone of Scone, a beloved symbol of their country's national pride, to Scotland.


There were plenty of spectacular music collaborations at the 2017 Grammy Awards (Alicia Keys and Maren Morris' dazzling duet of 'Once' for example), but whoever came up with the idea of pairing '90s iconic hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest with multifaceted singer-musician Anderson .Paak deserves applause. The dynamic pair delivered a politically charged performance at the awards ceremony on Sunday night (Feb. 12). And it was much needed.
Solange, who was a first-time Grammy winner tonight, introduced ATCQ and Anderson .Paak to the stage. Q-Tip and Jarobi White dedicated their performance to their beloved late member Phife Dawg who passed away in 2016. And they also had a message for the audience.
"We like to say to all of these people around the world... to all of these people who are pushing people who are in power to represent them, tonight, we represent you," said Q-Tip.
The duo then kicked off the set with a brief rendition of "Award Tour" and "Can I Kick It" with Anderson backing them up on drums. The group then segued into "Movin' Backwards," a song from their latest album, We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service.
Afterward, Busta Rhymes charged the Grammy stage and slammed President Donald Trump -- or as he referred to him "Agent Orange" -- for his recent immigration ban that has caused havoc around the world. Then ATCQ performed their politically-charged track, "We the People," as immigrants were invited to stand onstage behind them as they raised their fists in solidarity.
"Resist! Resist! Resist! Resist!" yells Q-Tip at the end of their performance.
Oddly, the 2017 Grammy Awards was very apolitical until ATCQ hit the stage. We don't know if it was intentional or just an aberration. However, we are glad that ACTQ, Anderson .Paak and company used their voice to bring awareness to the bizarre political climate we are in right now.
We hope that Agent Orange was watching.

There are nearly 425,000 youth in foster care and 50,000 youth in the juvenile justice system. Due to many precipitating factors, such as housing instability and the lack of social supports, a vast majority of these youth struggle with education and workforce barriers that hinder their path to successfully transitioning into adulthood. What if we could change this trajectory, so that youth involved in the foster care and the juvenile justice system are able to transition out of care with the tools and confidence needed to excel in their next steps?
This discussion group highlighted two organizations that are working to do just that for the youth in Philadelphia and Rhode Island. Each program uses best-practices to successfully connect youth transitioning out of foster care and youth involved in the juvenile justice system with opportunities to gain job training, placement, and educational assistance. Participants also discussed the link between programs and policies, relevant state and federal legislation, framing, and areas of alignment.
Building a consensus around key areas of influence for federal and state policymakers.


Q: What steps can I take to help prevent mold growth?
Keep windows closed, particularly during periods of high humidity and rain.
If you observe flooding or water intrusion in your building, report these conditions as soon as possible.
Keep furniture and storage containers at least 12 inches from the air conditioner/heater. Furniture can block airflow.
Q: How does mold affect people?
A: Exposure can cause allergy-like symptoms (nasal stuffiness, eye irritation) and skin irritation. Mold may also exacerbate asthma. More severe symptoms include wheezing or shortness of breath. … Those with medical conditions or those who experience symptoms should consult medical personnel.
Q: Why are you confident that the cleaning will be effective?
A: By following federal guidelines and additional recommendations from industrial hygiene professionals, the university expects the spaces to be within the recommended parameters for occupancy. An audit of each space is being completed to ensure that each step of the process was followed by contractors. Residential Facilities staff expect that the humidity will be stabilized to a more comfortable and typical indoor level.
The package includes measures seeking to audit public universities' admissions practices and ban preferential admissions for students related to a college's donors or alumni.

Lafourche Parish Government Structure
DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE PARISH COUNCIL
DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE PARISH PRESIDENT
PARISH DEPARTMENTS
Lafourche Parish operates under a Home Rule Charter, which provides for separate legislative and executive branches independent of each other.
Legislative matters are handled by an elected nine-member Council, while the elected Parish President serves as administrator.
The Home Rule Charter was an option offered local governments when the State of Louisiana adopted its new constitution in 1974. It was included in the State Constitution at the insistence of local officials who felt the need to strengthen local governments throughout the state.
Prior to this, the Parish operated under the Policy Jury System. Under this system jurors were elected from Wards or Districts. They operated as both Legislators and Administrators, handling day-to-day operations of the Parish.
The system was restrictive since Parish Government could exercise only that authority specifically given them by the State Legislature. The Home Rule Charter of Lafourche Parish allows much more flexibility.
The Council is made up of nine members, elected from each district in the Parish. The Council's principal function is to ratify ordinances or laws. However, the Home Rule Charter gives the council additional powers including levying taxes, appropriating funds and fixing penalties for violations of local ordinances.
The daily routine of government is the responsibility of the Parish President, who heads the executive or administrative branch of Parish government.
The President carries out the policies developed by the Council and implements the Council's decisions. She/ He has the responsibility for hiring and firing subject to personnel policies and rules adopted by the Council.

There are no native species in Belgium, but recently I visited central France to photograph the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), one of the few freshwater turtle species occurring in Europe. The species is listed as near threatened by the IUCN, as alteration of its habitat due to intensification of agriculture, urban expansion… are affecting its occurrence. Remaining populations are further affected by pollution, competition with introduced species and possibly from illegal collecting for the pet trade too. I had an amazing experience snorkeling with these animals and hope you enjoy the pictures posted here below.
This entry was posted in Europe, reptiles, underwater.
These pictures are stunning. I'm sure it was a great experience to encounter this species the way you did. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your pictures.


Pakistan and India have been in a standoff over a Indian fighter pilot shot down and captured in Pakistani territory. He has now been returned to India, and his homecoming has eased the latest tensions in the long-running quarrel over the disputed Kashmir region. But the underlying feud is very much alive.

A security plan shall be submitted with the Minor Use Permit Application that includes lighting, security video cameras, alarm systems and secure area for medical marijuana storage. The Security Plan shall include a requirement that there be at least 30 (thirty) business days of surveillance video (that captures both inside and outside images) stored on an ongoing basis. The video system for the security cameras must be located in a locked, tamper-proof compartment.5.
a. Notice that persons under the age of 18 (eighteen) are not allowed in the Dispensary except in the presence of his/her parent or guardian; b. Notice that there is no consumption of medical marijuana in the vicinity of the Dispensary.6.
As of August 17, 2015, the City has one approved Medical Marijuana Dispensary in the Outer State Street area, at 3617 State Street. The City has two pending applications, one in the Upper De la Vina area, at 2609 De la Vina Street, and one in the Milpas area at 118 N. Milpas Street.

12. Annual review of the storefront collective operation by the Police and Community Development Departments.
Applications submitted will be reviewed for completeness and compliance with the ordinance. These applications will be processed one-at-a-time until the open spots in their respective areas are filled. It is possible that some of these applications will not be approved. If this is the case, then newer applications will be processed in the order that they are deemed complete.
As part of the application, you must prepare a document that shows how your dispensary complies with the operational requirements AND the criteria for approval in the Ordinance. For your convenience, the requirements and the criteria for approval are in this Medical Cannabis Dispensary Permit Application Document.
1. Read the Medical Cannabis Dispensaries Ordinance SBMC 28.80.
2. Contact Danny Kato, Senior Planner, at DKato@SantaBarbaraCA.gov to get an update on the progress of any pending applications.
4. Develop your collective operational plan. We recommend as much detail as possible to show that the storefront collective is not a retail business. Information to consider includes: compliance with Proposition 215, SB 420 and the Attorney General's Guidelines, location of cultivation in SB County, methods to ensure a closed loop between cultivator-members and non-cultivator-members, and compensation for cultivators and other members.
5. Review the Planning Commission Staff Report for the approved dispensary, which is available here.
6. Review the videos of the Staff Hearing Officer and Planning Commission hearings for the approved dispensary. – Find the video for the April 15, 2015 Staff Hearing Officer hearing at this webpage (click here).
– Find the video for the June 4, 2015 Planning Commission hearing at this webpage (click here).
Like other California cities, Ventura rushed to adopt an ordinance before a state law approved in October goes into effect. Cities that do not have an ordinance regulating or prohibiting cultivation by March 1 will lose the authority to regulate or ban cultivation within their limits and will fall under state rule.
The bill would create the Bureau of Medical Marijuana Regulation and would allow medicinal marijuana patients to grow their own marijuana if they obtain a state license. The bill is part of a trio of bills that seeks to establish a framework for medicinal marijuana use, cultivation and distribution. The specifics and exact structure of the new laws won't be known until 2017, so Ventura and other cities have taken this interim step to maintain control.
An emergency ordinance disallowing more than 12 plants per parcel is in effect in Kern. Growing more than 12 plants per parcel in Kern county will be treated as a misdemeanor violation, with a possible 6 mos. or $1000 fine per plant, in addition to nuisance abatement costs.
County code 82.02.070 outlaws outdoor cultivation in unincorporated areas of San Bernardino. A lawsuit has been filed against the ordinance, based on CEQA. The case was denied, and is being appealed (10/13). Read more.


Enables store customer to apply multiple values of the same filter criteria.
Extension has no admin configuration, it just works, visually layered navigation does not change, only behavior differs: when store customer chooses one filter item by clicking it, catalog is filtered by chosen item; after applying filter store customer still has possibility to choose and apply other item of the same filter. So you give store customer possibility to apply as many items of the same filter as he likes.
This extension is compatible with the Magento version 1.4.2 and later.
Magento has made some changes to the Catalogsearch in 1.9.3.7. It braked the Mana functionality. I've updated the Mana extension and it works again. Thank you guys to keep this extension up to date.
Compiling did the trick for us. Works like it should!
It's easy to install or to dissable functionality. Nice support even for a free extension. Great.
Works perfect, I did have to refresh indexing before it worked.
It works exactly as described and the support was superb. Which means even more when you take into account that this is a free extension.
The extension work perfectly. I had a little problem but the customer support fixed it straight away: Quick, efficient, polite. Thank you... Highly recommendable.
It didn't work first time so I emailed the company. They replied in less than one hour, had a look at my installation, recommended a couple of things and it was all fixed within two hours of me asking.
This works like a " knife cuts through a butter ". You just need to re-index at System->Index Management after the product Installation and concerned categories are anchored and your system -> catalog -> layered Navigation options are set. just take only 5 minutes to set it.
manadev.com's prompt response is gr8! so helpful. totally recommended it..
Needed multiple select layered navigation. I would be banging my head and doing lot of customizations if this extion wont be there. Thanks.
Very professional work. Really useful for multi select layered navigation.
The installation process was very smooth, However afterwards I couldn't get it to show on the front-end. Since my navigation column is on the right.
Copy app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/mana_filters.xml to app/design/frontend/[yout package]/[your theme]/layout/mana_filters.xml.
In copied file, change <reference name="left"> to <reference name="right"> (3 times - for catalog pages, for quick search pages and for CMS pages).
Save changes and refresh Magento layout cache.
I also thought this extension would style the navigation but I was wrong.
Thanks for this FREE extension.
I installed this plugin in version 1.13.2 of Magento and works fine. Thank you.
Everything functions as described as long as you do not have B2B Proffessional running. I do not blame anybody for this. I am just posting this here to make debugging easier for others.
Maybe you have a solution for this as well.
We've searched for a way to improve our layered navigation and tried this first. The extension almost works from the box on our tricky theme, the friendly (and fast!) folks at Manadev helped us to get everything working.
The extension is doing exactly what is promising.
I needed support twice for general questions that will help me to decide how to Implement the extension and both times the reply came within half an hour !!!
And this was for free.
This filter extesnion is very excellent and my wishes to the team.
I wisht to share the issue which i face and troubleshoot.
Price filter text change the default magento price filter. It shows (Rs 0- Rs 100) instead of (Rs 0 - Rs 99).
I hope this issue will solve with this extension asap.
Thanks and Congratz again for created the excellent module.
I'm fully satisfied with this extension and support that Manadev team provided. I had some issues with my custom theme and configuration but all was solved by them quickly. Soo beautiful and quick out of the box. Wouldn't even think about using other layered navigation!
Worked perfectly in magento 1.9.1 , I am very satisfied with the features of this extension. Amazing !
Excellent extension, only one question... the meta title is auto setting to the category name, can i disable this?

        });
        currentSelectDiv = null;
    });

The problem is I can't actually explain the thing without referencing to a live example.
http://jsfiddle.net/veUwn/
As you can see the dropdown works like a charm. It behaves like an actual drop down where the li.option's are actually dropping DOWN. However I don't want them to dropdown but remain its vertical position just like the actual select field underneath. If you select a option further down in the select field the vertical position of the select stays intact - so the options are not actually dropping down but just appear in a layer above.
Any idea how I can achieve the same thingy with my own select.ul's ?
Thank you for your help.
edit:

A: Well it's a start anyhow... fundamentally, you are trying to perform an action that a select box does without mimicking the structure of a select.  You need a dummy first option that just displays the selected option.
http://jsfiddle.net/CVc2Z/1
Edit
Aaaaaand option two:
if($(this).siblings().is(":hidden"))
            $(this).parent().css({marginTop:"-" + currentSelectElement .index() * 32 + "px"});
        else
            $(this).parent().css({marginTop:"-" + 0 + "px"});

...

$(this).parent().css({marginTop:"-" + 0 + "px"});

A: When expanding the list, adjust the style attribute to change its position such that it lines up properly. To do this, it would be best to have set consistent sizes for each list item.
