Turnovers by Mills doom Texans to fifth straight loss

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans hoped Davis Mills would take another step forward Sunday against Indianapolis to help them snap a four-game skid.
Instead, the rookie quarterback threw two interceptions after halftime to doom the Texans to another embarrassing loss.
Mills tied a franchise record by throwing four interceptions in a 40-0 loss to Buffalo Oct. 3, but bounced back last week with three TD passes and no turnovers in a close loss to New England.
Coach David Culley said repeatedly last week that the only way Mills could get Houston in the win column is if he continued to take care of the ball against the Colts.
The third-round draft pick who is playing because Deshaun Watson is out and Tyrod Taylor is injured did that in the first half to keep the Texans in it early. They only trailed by a touchdown when Mills made his first big mistake of the game.
The Texans got a stop to start the second half, but Mills was picked off by Darius Leonard on their first offensive play of the third quarter. Indianapolis took advantage of the mistake when Carson Wentz threw a 28-yard TD pass two plays later to extend the lead to 17-3.
Wednesday's Sports in Brief
A fumble by David Johnson early in the fourth quarter led to another Indianapolis touchdown. And Mills was picked off again with about 3½ minutes remaining in the 31-3 loss, leaving the Texans without a touchdown in two of his four starts.
Culley knows that Mills needs to improve, but was quick to point out that he's far from the only one who must play better.
"We don't (have) the progress that we feel like we need ... at this time," he said. "We're still inconsistent with things."
Perhaps the only good news for the Texans this week is that Taylor could be inching closer to a return after missing four games with a hamstring injury.
"As we move along, he's getting better and better and it is better than it was last week," Culley said.
Culley said last week that Taylor would start when he was healthy, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to return this week.
Can't really say anything is working on this team which ranks in the bottom 10 in the league in every major statistical category.
So much to choose from here, but Culley seemed to be the most unhappy with Houston's penalties so we'll go with that. The Texans had four penalties Sunday to give them 43 this season, which is tied with the Chargers for sixth most in the league. They've been penalized for 374 yards this season, which is the eighth most in the NFL.
The Texans did better in the area this week than they did against the Patriots when they were flagged eight times, but Culley was still irked because of when they committed the penalties.
"Penalties do happen, but we seem to be getting them, especially on the road, at critical times that are hurting us on both sides of the ball," he said.
Rookie WR Nico Collins had four receptions for 44 yards in his return Sunday after missing three games with a shoulder injury.
Johnson's fumble wasn't the reason Houston lost Sunday, but it's a mistake a veteran can't make when a team is struggling with a rookie quarterback. Johnson had just two carries for 7 yards against the Colts as he's been relegated to backup duty behind Mark Ingram after starting last season.
S Terrance Brooks remained in Indianapolis on Monday for observation after leaving Sunday's game with a bruised lung. Culley said he could return to Houston on Monday night, but might have to stay one more day. He will not play this week.
7 — Mills is tied for third in the NFL with seven interceptions this season despite playing just 4½ games.
The Texans have what could be their toughest task so far on Sunday when they'll face some old friends in a trip to meet the undefeated Arizona Cardinals. Houston will attempt to end its skid in its first meeting against J.J. Watt and DeAndre Hopkins. Watt spent a decade with the Texans before being released after last season and signing with the Cardinals while Hopkins is in his second season in Arizona after the trade that brought Johnson to Houston.

Palm Beach Social Diary: Palm Beach Now & Then
Carolers a cappella with The Twelve Days of Christmas before God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen of the Garden as guests gathered around the Christmas tree at GOG's benefit dinner.
Across the Nation• BY: Augustus Mayhew
On Saturday night Susan Phipps Cochran & Bob Eigelberger hosted a holiday benefit dinner for the Gentlemen of the Garden at Casa Phippsberger, their six-acre botanical preserve. Joy to the World was in the air at our table lit by a silvery cold moon as well as several bottles of wine. A pleasure sitting between the engaging Cheryl McKee and the spirited Susie Phipps Cochran. Before heading over to the Shrimp Palace, I stopped and snapped the annual Worth Avenue holiday tree, circled by selfie-takers. Then to Polly Reed's Orchid House in Midtown where she put her feet up after trimming her tree.
Along with Saturday night's al fresco dinner, I take a look back at El Mirasol, once the Phipps family's neighbor to the south. After the death of Eva Stotesbury and the house auction in 1947, the house and what remained of the oceanfront parcel were bought by the Pittsburgh Building Company, a Phipps family interest.

Susie Phipps Cochran and Bob Eigelberger welcomed Gentlemen of the Garden supporters and friends to some holiday cheer at their North End home. Founded in 1991, GOG's philanthropic contributions are based on specific landscaping and environmental beautification projects in the Palm Beach area. While the organization's primary focus is to support the gardening activities at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, it also contributes to the Mounts Botanical Gardens, The Community Foundation Green Fund, and The YMCA of the Palm Beaches. In the spring, GOG will stage its largest benefit GOG-A-GOGO, a jungle disco party at Casa Phippsberger.

El Mirasol: Through the Looking Glass
Palm Beach-Santa Barbara
El Mirasol from showplace to street sign.
El Mirasol — Ned and Eva Stotesbury's house most mentioned as architect Addison Mizner's entrée among Palm Beach's 1920s swells — has a history riddled with numerous tales, some spun by raconteur Mizner himself. No matter how twisted, inaccurate or unbelievable, these yarns have been echoed so often they are sworn to with the fervor of Biblical quotes.
However kismet the story that Eva Stotesbury first encountered Addison Mizner when she was measuring room sizes of the Everglades Club building while it was being built during the fall of 1918, as author Donald Curl wrote in his authoritative book Mizner's Florida, quoting Mizner's 1932 anecdotal autobiography The Many Mizners. And no matter how flattering for Mizner that she then retained him to replace her Philadelphia architect, the renowned Horace Trumbauer, to build her Palm Beach showplace, as Curl further wrote, there are still no accessible records indicating Trumbauer was ever involved in the Stotesbury's Florida work or that Trumbauer ever visited Palm Beach.
In fact, a year before Mizner arrived at Palm Beach in January 1918, the Stotesburys had retained a family friend, designer Albert Herter, and his architect to design their makeover and transformation of E. N. Dimick's L'Orangerie into their new home. They named their Palm Beach ocean-to-lake estate El Mirasol for the source of their inspiration, Albert Herter's Spanish-styled home-turned-hotel in Santa Barbara also named El Mirasol, designed by Delano & Aldrich in 1904 for Herter's mother Mary Miles Herter.

Albert & Adele Herter's El Mirasol featured in House Beautiful c. 1915.
After Herter's mother died, he and his wife converted the estate into a luxury small hotel with cottages, attracting well-heeled Easterners, among them John D. Rockefeller and Ned & Eva Stotesbury.
With Ned Stotesbury named to the Everglades Club's first board of governors, and Californians Mizner and Herter probably knowing of each other, and considering the scale of the Stotesbury work, it was probably mutually decided that Mizner would architect the project. According to the Stotesbury accounting bills, payments to Albert Herter were considerable before Mizner became involved in the project. A century later, Herter's name is still never mentioned in the making of El Mirasol although it was informed by and christened for his family's Santa Barbara house.

Following the Hurricane of 1928, El Mirasol sustained structural damage. Two years later, Ned Stotesbury along with nearby oceanfront property owners had successfully convinced commissioners to close the Ocean Boulevard from Wells Road north to the Palm Beach Country Club. He then retained Treanor and Fatio to make additions and alterations to the main house. Landscape architect Thomas Warren Sears returned to revive the windswept landscape. Also, since the closure of the ocean boulevard changed the entrance to El Mirasol to North County Road, in 1930 Treanor & Fatio designed a new barrel-tiled arched entrance gate adorned with Tunisian tiles.

If Treanor & Fatio designed the County Road entrance portal, according to contemporaneous records, then why was it called the "Mizner Gate," and still is, when it was landmarked during the early 1980s by the town's Landmark Preservation Commission? The minutes clearly indicate that historian Barbara Hoffstot urged the commission not to designate the arched portal until they were certain it was a Mizner. There have never been any drawings or records that indicate Addison Mizner, who died in 1933, designed the existing entrance gate that remains today, despite the demolition of the main house in the late 1950s.
Of course, it was a Mizner they responded although it does not resemble any Mizner work in California, New York, or Florida. Nonetheless, the town's LPC designated it the "Mizner Gate." Although I wrote about this oversight a decade ago, followed by letters from historians and Maurice Fatio's daughter Alex Fatio's photographic documents showing the entrance gate as her father's design, there has never been any attempt to assess whether this was a mistaken designation.

Considering El Mirasol's significance to the town's architectural history, one might assume there might be some attempt at respecting Treanor & Fatio's work or recognizing that one of the town's iconic landmarks may not be what they thought it was. Then again …"
For almost 40 years, the entrance gate to El Mirasol has been called "Mizner's Gate" although there are no records to document it as a Mizner.

Nowadays, huge volumes of data are available in the form of texts in natural language, this facilitated by a rapid development of common sources of information. The problems of processing this data are studied in the field of Computer Linguistics. One of the most significant challenges so far is effective information extraction, which would allow to focus on the relevant information only. In this work, a review of the recent methods for information extraction from texts in Russian language is presented. With the help of LSPL language and software based on it, an application is developed for extracting data from quarterly financial reports of one of the leading state banks. An experimental analysis of the application is provided.

Anacapa Island Closed to Visitors
Faulty Staircase Leads to Immediate Closure for Popular Day-Trip Destination of Channel Islands National Park
By Matt Kettmann
Mon Jun 14, 2010 | 1:30pm
A faulty staircase leading from the boat dock to the bluff-top of East Anacapa Island was determined to be unsafe this week, so officials with the Channel Islands National Park immediately shut down the island to public access and cannot yet say when the popular day-trip and camping destination will be re-opened. The staircase is the only way to access the rolling landscape that sits atop the island's 200-foot-high cliffs, and serves as a homebase for dive trips, which have also been stopped for now. Frenchy's Cove and the western stretches of Anacapa Island remain open to boaters, but very few of the island's nearly 12,000 annual visitors — and none of the 600 annual campers — ever use those areas.
According to park spokesperson Yvonne Menard, there were already plans to replace the staircase, but that schedule was delayed about a month ago, when the island's crane — which is an integral part of the staircase replacement project — was determined to be in need of repair. With the crane out of service, the park began monitoring of the staircase, which is anchored to the cliff wall in a number of places. This week, the check-up revealed that the staircase's structural components were indeed breaking.
"As soon as you see that, there is no alternative but to shut it down," said Menard, who once lived on the island herself as a ranger. "It's very unfortunate. We're a National Park and we're all about connecting the public to the treasures out there. But it's necessary to protect the public."
As to a timeline, Menard said it's too early to tell. "We're going to do everything we can in as short a period as possible to get the repairs completed," she explained. A contract to fix the crane was submitted and reviewed, so an expert will be going out to the island next week to take a look. "Hopefully after that visit, we'll get a better sense of whether we can make repairs to the crane or whether it needs to be a complete replacement," said Menard. "If it's a complete replacement, there will be engineering involved." And that means much more waiting for Anacapa fans, many of whom take advantage of the half-day trips offered to the island, which sits just 10 miles from the Oxnard coast and features some of the best vistas in the entire park.

NEWS FROM ACROSS THE NATION
• FIRST COLORADO COUNTY REPORTS POT TAXES: DENVER (AP) — A southern Colorado county with two recreational marijuana stores has become the first in the state to announce tax totals from the new industry.
Pueblo County finance authorities announced Monday that its two shops had about $1 million in total sales in January, producing about $56,000 in local sales taxes.
Pueblo County is the only place between Denver and the New Mexico state line that currently allows recreational pot stores. Its two shops were joined by three more that opened in February.
Pueblo County Clerk Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz projected the marijuana industry will generate roughly $670,000 in new tax revenue for his county this year. The money is a combination of a 3.5 percent pot sales tax approved by county voters last year, as well as "share-backs" from the state on general and pot-specific sales taxes.
If Pueblo's sales continue at the January pace, the county's pot industry will make about $11.2 million in gross sales in 2014,
Ortiz projected. The county's total budget is about $165 million a year.
• MAN ACCUSED OF USING TODDLER AS SHIELD IN GREELEY: GREELEY, Colo. (AP) — An alleged gang member is accused of using toddler as a shield during a standoff with Greeley police, according to court documents.
The standoff happened Saturday at the apartment of Michael Mendez's ex-wife. According to an arrest affidavit, the 31-year-old broke into the apartment through a balcony door on Feb. 7, punched her and grabbed a 10-inch kitchen knife, and said "...they will have to take me out before I go back to jail," The Tribune reported Monday. Police went back to the apartment on Saturday to follow up with Maria Mendez, who first denied that her ex-husband was in the home but, after they asked her more questions, she told them he was in a bedroom where three children were sleeping.
As officers waited for backup, they said they heard what appeared to be the sound of glass breaking from the bedroom. When they entered, they found Mendez holding an 18-month-child in one hand and a window frame with broken glass in the other. According to the affidavit, Mendez demanded that police shoot and kill him and held the window frame near the child's head.
• MISSOURI READIES FOR 4TH EXECUTION IN 4 MONTHS: ST. LOUIS (AP) — A man convicted of abducting, raping and killing a Kansas City teenager in 1989 will be executed using a lethal drug provided by a new supplier if last-minute appeals Tuesday don't stay Missouri's fourth execution in as many months.
Michael Taylor of Kansas City was scheduled to die by injection at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sought a reprieve, though Gov. Jay Nixon denied a clemency request for Taylor hours before the planned execution.
Taylor's attorneys have questioned Missouri's use of an unnamed compounding pharmacy to provide the pentobarbital for his execution. They have also raised concerns that the state executes men before appeals are complete, and claim Taylor's original trial attorney was so overworked that she encouraged him to plead guilty to lessen her own workload.
After years of using a three-drug execution method, Missouri switched to pentobarbital as a single fatal drug late last year. State officials say there were no outward signs of distress in three recent executions that all relied on a single dose of pentobarbital.
• IRANIAN TEACHER BUILDS ROBOT TO TEACH PRAYER: TEHRAN (AP) — An Iranian schoolteacher has innovated an amusing way of encouraging young children to say their daily prayers — robotics.
Akbar Rezaie, 27, attended private robotics classes and learned to develop and assemble customized humanoid robots.
He teaches the Quran to boys and girls at Alborz elementary school in the town of Varamin, 35 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of Tehran.
A Western dancing and singing doll first sparked in his mind the idea of building a local robot to present religious practice to his students.
"Once I was at a family gathering where there was a little girl playing with a doll that could dance and sing. I saw her watching the doll passionately and it made me contemplate on a making a device that can be used for both religious and entertaining purposes."
• ASIANA AIRLINES PENALIZED OVER CRASH: LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the first penalty of its kind, federal transportation officials on Tuesday docked Asiana Airlines $500,000 for failing to promptly contact passengers' families and keep them informed about their loved ones after a deadly crash last year at San Francisco International airport.
The U.S. Department of Transportation said it took the South Korean airline five days to contact the families of all 291 passengers.
Never before has the department concluded that an airline broke U.S. laws requiring prompt and generous assistance to the loved ones of crash victims.
Three people died and dozens were injured on July 6 when Asiana Flight 214 clipped a seawall while landing. One of the victims, a 16-year-old girl, apparently survived being ejected onto the tarmac, only to be run over by a fire truck in the post-crash confusion.
Many of the families live in South Korea or China, meaning the airline was their main source of information on the crash half a world away.
• CALIFORNIA COUPLE PLEAD NOT GUILTY IN CHILD DEATH: NAPA (AP) — A Northern California woman and her boyfriend have pleaded not guilty to charges that they beat the woman's 3-year-old daughter to death.
Napa County prosecutors say 23-year-old Sarah Krueger and 26-year-old Ryan Warner entered the pleas in court on Tuesday. They are each charged with murder and assault on a child resulting in death in the slaying of Krueger's daughter, Kayleigh Slusher.
Police found Kayleigh's lifeless body in her bed during a welfare check at Krueger's Napa apartment on Feb. 1. Warner and Kruger were arrested at a San Francisco Bay Area train station the next day.

Individuals suspected of having a "serious contagious disease" could face five years in prison if they defy orders to stay at home, including forced vaccinations, quarantine or jail, according to new legislation passed into Australian law.
The government expects the human control orders to be "seldom used", but believes they are important to manage serious communicable diseases, especially in light of the recent 'Ebola epidemic'.
"New human biosecurity control orders enable a health department official to force anyone with signs or symptoms of a listed disease to isolate themselves or face arrest.
The second chapter of the legislative piece details control orders given to those individuals suspected of showing symptoms determined by the Health Minister, and the restricted movements and tests required if a person is categorised under the new law.
"A human biosecurity control order may only be applied if an individual has signs or symptoms of (or has been exposed to) a listed human disease, or if the individual has not complied with an entry requirement under clause 44, and therefore poses a risk to the broader community.
The new legislation, in the current form, was introduced to Parliament on November 27th, 2014 – although reports suggest an original document was tabled in 2012 and overshadowed by the election process at the time.
After multiple modifications, the Bill was introduced to the Senate on February 11th, and passed both levels of government on May 13th, 2015.
One section of the legislation that has civil liberty campaigners questioning the authoritarian approach of the new legislation, is the section that pertains to burden of proof in suspected cases – both relating to human health and agriculture.
The Bill outlines a reversing the legality surrounding burden of proof, placing it in the hands of the defendant, as opposed to the traditional approach of the prosecution.
Reversing the evidential burden means that a defendant, rather than the prosecution, is responsible for presenting evidence to a court about a particular fact. It is then up to the prosecution to establish that this evidence is incorrect or does not apply.
Listen to Ethan, John and Lindsay discuss the new legislation in detail on Episode #32 of the Australian Roundtable Podcast on May 17th, 2015 below.
Timestamp has already been pre-selected for easy access amongst the range of topics discussed on this episode, including the US Consulate warning of 'imminent terror' in Australia; Marxist ABC against reading to children?; Brisbane Airport adopting 'intelligent' CCTV technology, and much more.
Sounds like Agenda 21 on the move.
But these parents are persistent and they are continuing to speak up despite being routinely shouted down by the ubiquitous pro-vaccine spokespersons that are invited to appear on radio and TV shows whenever vaccine issues are discussed in the media. Pro-vaccine spokespersons are everywhere (like the multimillionaire academic pediatrician Dr Paul Offit, who developed an anti-diarrhea rotavirus vaccine (Rotateq), and then sold – for tens of millions of dollars – the patents and marketing rights to the giant vaccine manufacturer Merck & Co.
The first article is from the journal Lupus and the second is from Current Medicinal Chemistry. Neither journal takes pharmaceutical company advertising.
Keywords: Aluminum adjuvants, adjuvant safety, autoimmunity, autism, Gulf War Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, macrophagic myofasciitis, neurotoxicity, seizures, Th2 immune response, vaccines.
You can go to any research paper that confirms your beliefs and find an article to prove to others that vaccinations cause autism but it has been scientifically proven to be false.
I know this from personal experience and from thorough research from up to date scientific research. Stop spreading lies and preventing children from receiving life saving vaccinations.
Head in the sand! Wake the f up!
You've opened your argument with my defence.
You believe they are safe, you too, found shabby research to support your asinine opinion.
You assert that a view counter your own limited scope are lies, and that injections of known neurotoxins and exogenous matter save lives..
You reveal your imbecility with aplomb.
What's the answer, can they force me, or do I take to the hills now?
Australian Laws are illegal. They take our RIGHTS and FREEDOMS away under the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia 1901.
Who is going to challenge the government on this one. It appears that it is not sufficient to accept quarantine. Someone can actually force you, against your own will to be taken to a medical facility and forcibly injected with a toxic brew of vaccines. Apparently the fact that Herd Immunity is only a theory, and a hotly contested one at that does not matter. The fact that quarantine aught to provide the most effective control does not matter.
I know of parents who have a notice written up asking the doctor who is injecting their children to sign taken full responsibility for side effects, illness their children may suffer due to the forced immunisation and stating their children are very healthy prior to the injection. So far doctors have refused to sign. If these injections are safe, my question is WHY wont they sign. I believe this Corporate Government are acting in a criminal manner towards our most vulnerable then blame the parent for what happens to their children.
This could be the killer argument against fluoridation.
There's a new kid on the block, one who is going to force the public sector to start taking notice of what we, the people, want from our medical services. I've already mentioned the work that Prof. Chris Exley has been doing on aluminium poisoning, and how it ties in with both the excesses of compulsory water fluoridation and the poisoning of my own community in Cornwall, almost 30 years ago.
And I've warned you that aluminium in our food and water is implicated in the rising tide of dementia, and that fluoride could simply be making it worse. Now he's challenging the medical establishment, right in the heart of its corrupt soul. He is inviting us all to get involved in a crucial experiment that could solve the dementia problem once and for all.
He's found that aluminium in our bodies can be removed, easily, painlessly – and cheaply – by simply drinking couple of glasses of silica-rich mineral a day – water that you can buy off the shelves at your local Supermarket! Now he wants to run a People's Clinical Trial, to find out if his discovery can lead to a way to eliminating what is almost certainly the most important stimulus in the onset of dementia.
Of course, nobody in either government or industry will fund such an apparently ridiculous idea – but he's already shown that it does work, with real Alzheimer's patients. So that's where we all come in now – how much would you pay to help to find a way to ensure that your own kids won't have to face that awful condition of dementia when they are old?
A preventive treatment to stop dementia is the Holy Grail of medicine, and since fluoridation is utterly incompatible with this vital discovery, all of us who oppose fluoridation now have an additional cause for denouncing this disreputable 'public health' practice.
If Chris' study gets the funding he needs, it will set a precedent for a revolutionary 'people-centred' approach to medical research that could spread far more widely than this. The possibilities are endless, and have the medical sector thoroughly alarmed! So if you've been looking for the ultimate argument against fluoridation, take note now – and get involved! This could bring the whole Fluoridation House of Cards tumbling around the ears of the dental charlatans who have assaulted us with their fake 'medicine' all these years!
All sources have been linked within the article.
A Draconian and /or Orwellian step backwards for Australia.
"The government expects the human control orders to be "seldom used" " Let's hope so!
"One section of the legislation that has civil liberty campaigners questioning the authoritarian approach of the new legislation, is the section that pertains to burden of proof in suspected cases – both relating to human health and agriculture. The Bill outlines a reversing the legality surrounding burden of proof, placing it in the hands of the defendant, as opposed to the traditional approach of the prosecution." Of course, all incidents might turn out to be just and fair. That would, however, fly in the face of current evidence of what happens in many other countries.
Hoping that Australia sets a good example.
Perhaps a forlorn hope, given the current push for unjustified mandatory vaccinations.
Fighting for your rights – MEDICAL ETHICS – FIRST DO NO HARM Individual Rights to Informed Consent to Treatment and Individual Rights to Refuse Treatment. The 'ingredients' in vaccines are disturbing to say the least, and the 'aluminium' is proving particularly damaging to the brain (and kidneys). (Likewise the damaging 'fluoridation chemicals i.e. hazardous waste pollutants and co-contaminants). My only child would have been a SIDS statistic except he was so violently ill after the vaccinations, with convulsions, arching back, high pitched screaming, vomiting, gastric and body jerking that we couldn't leave him for a minute – whilst doing that we noticed he was 'stopping breathing' so we walked the floor with him day and night…….the rest is history – he most certainly would have died if we had not seen for ourselves. He would have been SIDS and they would have denied it like they always do, every doctor we saw about his health problems and severe behavioural problems said to us when we told them it was caused by the vaccinations 'no it wouldn't have been that' – all mainstream medicine is brainwashed / hypnotised almost, in their cult like belief that vaccinations are safe and effective, they certainly are not as countless have found out. Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a kidney specialist and medical doctor who started to notice a disturbing trend in her patients. Sadly, the vast majority of conventionally-trained doctors barely even notice a danger to the public. Those who are for vaccination tend to be very aggressive and closed off to opposing views and evidence, which is always a red flag. They use fear tactics, spread disinformation, withhold information or share only biased, one-sided data on vaccine safety. Even the prestigious Mayo Clinic advocates a "persuade rather than inform" approach and dissuades health professionals from leaving printed materials such as brochures with clients or following up with them via email. Dr. Humphries now advocates finding natural ways to take care of the body and strengthen the immune system as an alternative to vaccines. Ultimately, every person should have a choice in the matter based upon a forthright presentation of the facts about vaccine safety.
Remember those words 'Individual Rights to Informed Consent to Treatment' and 'Individual Rights to Refuse Treatment'.
for what kikedom wants done to us dumb asses.
This is a classical example of "pushing your luck" A government today is tasked with keeping the people under its control. As usual, the conservative government just doesnt know when to stop.
There you go – 123 medical studies that call into question autism and vaccines. Read at your peril or enlightenment.
They knew in 1965 all vaccines were infectious when the US Army described Spirochetal disease as "Bioweapon".
People are paranoid about communicable diseases when the threat is really benign. Let your immune system do the job it's made to do. Feed your immune system with probiotics to make it more efficient and stop freaking out about vaccines not being given. There are so many natural things you can do to prevent getting sick. Vaccines have side effects that can be very damaging. It's all on the insert that comes in the vax box. Research alternative immunity.
Hilarious. The enemy has been giving everything real AIDS for decades disguised as hundreds of purdy ribbons of the rainbow and want to make sure they can murder you one way or another.
It really doesn't matter to them how you go.

How to Make a Great Fashion Show
When you think of a fashion show, you picture models strutting down a runway, wearing the latest in haute couture. The spotlights shine on their perfectly made-up faces, pop music blasts from the speakers, and the models may or may not have angel wings (it depends on the company). What you don't picture are the construction workers assembling the runway, the technicians programming the audio and lighting, and the models fidgeting under the designer's eyes during fitting.
That was until now.
Maroussia Rebecq, founder of the Andrea Crews fashion line, held what could best be described as a "behind-the-scenes fashion show" in January. While an actual show was held on January 20th at the Lutheran Redemption Church to showcase the label's fall collection, the days previous were spent preparing for the event in the Le Coeur gallery in Paris. The difference between this show and others like it was that the production itself was a performance entitled "How to Make a Great Fashion Show."
It's nothing new for the Andrea Crews label, which started as an art project in 2002, but it is a decidedly unglamorous look into the world of fashion. The fashion world is fairly closed off, with behind-the-scenes photos available to the public usually being taken the day of the show itself. Compare this to Rebecq's performance, which highlights everything from construction to casting.
Regarding the project, Rebecq said that this year they "wanted to make an event [out of the production process. It's] a very intense period where we're building the story of our collection. It will also allow for some distance from what I do. Preparing for a show can be both a highly stressful and beautiful experience, and for me, gathering everyone together in a performance will make it more of a joyful, playful event."
To some, the entire concept may bring to mind shows like Project Runway or America's Next Top Model, which do give some insight into the fashion industry. However, reality programs like the above emphasize bizarre challenges and are not the most accurate depictions out there. It's unlikely that brands like Vera Wang or Armani will be utilizing corn husks or paper bags into their latest lines (although given the ever-changing nature of fashion, it's not impossible).
TV shows about the fashion industry also tend to play up interpersonal drama and the hardships such a career path can result in. That's not to say that it's an easy job, though, as knowing fashion isn't the only prerequisite. An extensive knowledge of makeup and document-editing programs like Excel are essential. Working on a fashion show also means being prepared for every possibility, from models quitting moments before showtime, to last-minute outfit changes, to VIPs suddenly appearing and demanding seats to an already packed show. Oh, and strong legs are a plus, even if you aren't on the runway in heels. There's a great deal of running around to be had, just like with any sort of production.
This is why the Andrea Crews event was so important to those who want to get started in the fashion industry, novices who are already somewhat experienced, or even those that are just curious about the process. It's a look into a fantasy world from the view of the servants in the prince's castle. Rebecq herself said that "How to Make a Great Fashion Show" was a way to showcase the brand's "way of working, through building all these partnerships… who we are, why are we doing what we do, how and with whom." And while the process may not be identical for each label, it's still the first step into making the fashion industry more accessible.
The fashion, however, is still going to cost you.

Welcome to The Changing Word.
My name is Rachel, and I am a newcomer to the publishing world, an industry many consider to be dying. It seems that everywhere you go, someone is confidently asserting, "Print is dead," "I use my tablet for everything now," and even the dreaded, "Who has time to read, anyway?" With this in mind, it makes sense why most outsiders to the industry (and in fact many insiders as well) believe that publishing is a thing of the past. But after a few work experiences at book and magazine publishing companies, I have a different opinion. No, I haven't had nearly as much time in the industry as most editors, marketers, salespeople, and publishers, but if you ask me, publishing isn't dying. It's just changing.
To give you a little background about me, I am a senior at Johns Hopkins University double-majoring in English and Political Science. I've held a broad range of positions within the publishing industry, which include interning at Baltimore magazine, the Johns Hopkins University Press, and Rodale, Inc. One of my proudest achievements so far has been independently compiling and editing an entire book during Summer 2014 while working as a Books Editorial Intern at Rodale. In my free time I enjoy traveling (most recently to Southeast Asia), running, exploring Baltimore, and of course, reading.
The Changing Word is a blog dedicated to my experiences working in the publishing industry and insights that I've gained along the way. I've noticed that there are little opportunities for newcomers to the publishing industry to interface with one another. So please, feel free to comment and begin discussions. Let's band together on this crazy ride into a seemingly risky but ultimately rewarding industry. Because doing what you love is worth it.

There's another retailer trying to cater to Muslim customers via Ramadan-focused threads — this time, it's a fast-fashion name. Mango is debuting a collection focused around the Muslim holy month, comprised of chic but covered-up styles.
The collection will hit stores on May 30, a week before Ramadan begins. It was designed by the brand's special collections department, which develops "exclusive designs in line with the cultural and religious norms of countries in different regions, such as the Middle East," according to a press release. The Spanish brand has focused on designs that would succeed beyond its home turf — in fact, the release explained that approximately 80% of Mango's sales in 2015 were outside of Spain.
The range is comprised of 45 pieces: There's casual, everyday garb, as well as festive, fancier attire, including kaftans, leggings, tunics, double-layered body wraps in both fitted and looser styles, and midi-skirts. Those silhouettes will be available in faux suede, poplin, lace, Lurex, and satin detailing.
Mango first turned out a few looks specifically intended for Ramadan last year, though it was a pretty quiet launch (and not nearly as extensive as this year's full-fledged collection).
In 2014, DKNY came out with a Ramadan collection, available solely in the Middle East. Beyond the month-long holiday, other retailers have gradually been offering collections or pieces aimed at Muslim customers. Last year, Uniqlo paired up with blogger and fashion designer Hana Tajima on a modest array of head scarves, pleated skirts, pants, and long dresses, followed by another collection this February.
British department store Marks & Spencer started selling controversial "burkinis" — bathing suits that cover the entire body as well as the head — at its locations in Libya and Dubai in 2013, before they were distributed at its London stores earlier this year. At a more luxury price point, Dolce & Gabbana launched a line of hijabs (headscarves) plus abayas (loose, full-length, robe-like garments) in January.
Fashion brands are (finally) starting to take note of the sizable, and growing, Muslim consumer base — Al Jazeera projections say that by 2030, nearly a third of the world's population will be Muslim. Besides the religious and cultural choices their customers make, a brand's bottom line is, of course, a key consideration when undertaking modesty-minded offerings.
The current spend on clothing by Muslim consumers is roughly $230 billion, and it's projected to hit $327 billion by 2019, according to the 2015-2016 State of the Global Islamic Economy Report. But it's certainly progress to see more modest options available at mainstream retailers, whether holiday-specific or for everyday life.


We know not what happened on subsequent Sabbaths: there were four of them before the Ascension. But there is an appearance at least that the first day of the week was becoming under this direct sanction of the risen Lord the appointed day of Christian assemblies. That the Christians were early driven to separate themselves from the Jews (observe Acts 19:9) and had soon established regular times of "assembling themselves together," we know from an exhortation in the Epistle to the Hebrews. A hint of Paul's suggests that their ordinary day of assembly was on the first day of the week (1 Cor. 16:2). It is clear from a passage in Acts20:7 that the custom of "gathering together to break bread" "upon the first day of the week" was so fixed in the middle of the period of Paul's missionary activity that though in haste he felt constrained to tarry a whole week in Troas that he might meet with the brethren on that day. It is only the natural comment to make when Friedrich Blass remarks: "It would seem, then, that that day was already set apart for the assemblies of the Christians." We learn from a passing reference in the Apocalypse (Rev. 1:10) that the designation "the Lord's Day" had already established itself in Christian usage. "The celebration of the Lord's Day, the day of the Resurrection," comments Johannes Weiss, "is therefore already customary in the churches of Asia Minor." With such suggestions behind us, we cannot wonder that the Church emerges from the Apostolic Age with the first day of the week firmly established as its day of religious observance. Nor can we doubt that apostolic sanction of this establishment of it is involved in this fact.
That this was precisely what he did, and with him the whole Apostolic Church, there seems no room to question. And the meaning of that is that the Lord's Day is placed in our hands, by the authority of the Apostles of Christ, under the undiminished sanction of the eternal law of God.

The new urban areas are reshaping much of Britain. Those who live, work or minister within them are not only at the cutting edge of new forms of built environment, they must also discover new ways of being community and contemplate new expressions of Church. All this demands careful and bold analysis and creative theological reflection. While powerful global economic forces are changing our landscapes, human beings have to wrestle with themes of belonging and identity. The gospel engages with these human narratives, driving and shaping a Christian search for alternative perspectives and practices. What are the appropriate building projects, mission programmes and lifestyles that will be effective in meeting the challenges of these urban settlements? How should other areas respond?The writers of this book have worked together as a group, mapping the new situation, analysing their findings and drawing out those themes which demand attention - making it possible to reflect theologically about the challenges of our newly built urban developments.


The European Investment Fund (EIF) and RCB Bank (RCB) have signed the first EFSI agreement in Cyprus, which will provide EUR 10 million to innovative small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This agreement benefits from the support of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the heart of the Investment Plan for Europe. Following the signature, the EFSI is now active in all EU 28 Member States.
Under the new agreement, RCB will provide attractive loans to innovative small and medium–sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps over the next two years. EIF's guarantee is provided under the "EU InnovFin Finance for Innovators" initiative, backed by Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation programme.
European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, said "With today's agreement, the Investment Plan for Europe has reached another significant milestone. I am delighted that every Member State is now availing of the opportunities provided by the EFSI to boost investment in SMEs in order to create jobs and growth. I hope that today's agreement is the first of many transactions under the EFSI to be completed in Cyprus."
RCB Bank Chief Executive Dr. Kirill Zimarin underlined the Bank's commitment in working closely with the EIB, the EIF and the government in providing the necessary liquidity to the market and thus fulfilling its role in enhancing the real economy and noted: "Through such agreements, we are fulfilling an important part of our role. The role of the banking system in Cyprus is to provide the much needed liquidity to the healthy businesses that want to materialize their investment and growth plans. This is how we help the efforts of the government to achieve viable growth".
These transactions reflect the EU's commitment to rapidly launch concrete initiatives under the EFSI, accelerating lending and guaranteeing transactions capable of boosting jobs and growth in the EU.
The EIB also signed today a second financing contract for a further EUR 40 million with RCB Bank, further enhancing competition in the banking sector and benefiting local companies, along with a State Guarantee signature between the EIB and the Republic of Cyprus.
The second loan with RCB Bank to support local companies follows an initial EUR 20 million loan signed with RCB in February 2016, which has already been fully allocated supporting more than 10 new investments.
The loans include dedicated lending under the "Jobs for Youth" programme, which offers even more favourable financial terms to eligible SMEs. The Jobs for Youth lending initiative, launched by the EIB in July 2013, is part of a wider European commitment to tackle youth unemployment requested by the European Council in June 2013. The scheme targets countries with high unemployment amongst young people. In order to benefit from financing under the "Jobs for Youth" window, SMEs in the fields of industry, commercial services and tourism need to fulfil a limited number of conditions, including the employment or training of young people.
"The EIB agreements signed today will provide continued support to private sector investments crucial for boosting economic growth and creating quality new jobs. They reaffirm the EU Bank's strong support for Cyprus, especially in the recent challenging years for the economy of the country. Our actions confirm our commitment as only in the last 5 years we invested 1.3 billion Euros in new, priority investments," added EIB President Hoyer.
The agreements were signed in a public ceremony today at the Finance Ministry in Nicosia attended by Cyprus Minister of Finance Harris Georgiades, EIB President Werner Hoyer and European Commission representative Georgios Markopouliotis and Dr. Kirill Zimarin of RCB Bank.


As the basketball season starts to wind down I would like to address something that should not have to be addressed if people have curtesy and good manners. But we are talking about Wilkes county. My family attend high school basketball games nearly every game because we have nephews and nieces that play but there is one big problem with basketball in Wilkes. It is the maze of people that we have to constantly weave our way through who stand idly by the doorways of the gym. We have young children and when they want a snack or a bathroom visit it is like running a gauntlet to get in and out of the gym. Rude (mostly men) just stand in the doorway and refuse to move unless we say excuse me three or four times. Anyone that has tried to hold the hand of a young child while balancing pizza and drinks at the same time can appreciate what I'm saying. If any principles or athletic directors read this, please help those of us out that come to the games and spend a nice chunk of change for admittance and food and drinks but find that we would rather walk on cactus than weave in and out of standing idle people who block the door. Thank you.


Prices correct as at 6pm on 20 Apr 2019. Please call for final price.

American Rock Salt Donates to the Livingston County Museum
Left to Right: Joe Bucci Jr., Joe Bucci Sr., Anna Kowalchuk, Bill Glynn, Sally Wood
Recently, Joe Bucci Sr. co-founder of American Rock Salt, Joe Bucci Jr., the company's Environmental Manager, and geologist Bill Glynn presented the history of Salt Mining in the Genesee Valley to a full house at the Livingston County Museum. Joe Bucci Sr. surprised the audience and the Livingston County Historical Society (LCHS) board by handing a check from American Rock Salt to LCHS President Sally Wood for $50,000.
This contribution will directly support the society's and the museum's mission to present, promote, preserve, and value the rich history of Livingston County via its collections, programming and partnerships. This generous donation brings LCHS ever closer to reaching its capital fundraising goal for a building project which will create accessibility into the museum, provide new and accessible rest rooms, and upgrade an outdated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. The physical improvements to the museum will help LCHS to better fulfill its community-focused mission and provide the best care for the collections.
As both a cultural and educational institution and stewards of local history, the Livingston County Museum is dedicated to promoting an appreciation of the present through a deeper understanding of the past. According to museum administrator, Anna Kowalchuk, "The salt mining history in this region is incredible! Did you know that the first mine shaft in Livingston County dates to 1884? Working in collaboration with representatives of American Rock Salt and SUNY Geneseo, we look forward to improving exhibitions featuring the stories and artifacts relating to salt mining in the Genesee Valley. This is not only a story of the past, but also of the present, and future."
Additionally, the museum is now home to a memorial stone dedicated to the miners who lost their lives at the seven local area mines. Formerly at the site of the closed Retsof shaft, the stone can now be seen in the front gardens of the Livingston County Museum.

Rancho Cucamonga man's 116-mile walk around Salton Sea begins
By Liset Marquez - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Ontario, Calif. (TNS)
Randy Brown of Rancho Cucamonga begins his 116-mile walk around the Salton Sea near Mecca on Tuesday.

Randy Brown tapped the floor in front of the North Shore Beach and Yacht Club Community Center just after dawn on Tuesday.
So began a journey he has dubbed the Salton Sea Walk, a 116-mile, six-day trek around the entire shoreline of the Salton Sea, California's largest lake, with a goal of shining light on the plight of the dying body of water.
"See you back here in six days," said the Rancho Cucamonga resident.
• VIDEO: Randy Brown begins six-day, 116-mile walk around Salton Sea
For the past 14 months, Brown has been extensively training for his walk and along the way has become a local celebrity, said filmmaker Blake Alexander.
Leleand Phillips of Menifee got up at 3 a.m. to support Brown.
A photographer, Phillips said he learned about Brown's mission while watching a video on YouTube several months ago. Since then, he's been following his journey on Facebook. Tuesday marked the first time he met Brown.
"I think it's great that he's bringing attention to the Salton Sea and trying to save it," he said.
• VIDEO: Documenting the Salton Sea walk
The jitters didn't hit Brown until he started taping up his feet this morning. Brown, who will average 20 miles a day, said he has to tape his feet every morning to prevent blisters.
"Just excitement," he recounted. "It's soaking in."
For the past 14 months, Brown has been extensively training for his walk and along the way has become a local celebrity, said filmmaker Blake Alexander who will be documenting the journey. Alexander has trained with Brown most of the last year and recalls recently when they were at a restaurant in Brawley.
"The waiter says, 'Oh Randy, the Salton Sea guy," Alexander said.
On Monday night, a man pulled up to their campground just to greet Brown and offer support.
"That's the whole idea – to raise awareness. It's exciting and helps my ego," Brown joked.
Alexander and his documentary crew will follow him through the walk, which is expected to end on Sunday afternoon. The crew will film him as they walk, by boat, and on Tuesday even used a drone to capture the start.
About a dozen residents, friends and family came out to support Brown as he began his trek.
Leland Phillips of Menifee got up at 3 a.m. and drove 95 miles to support Brown.
"I wanted to come out here and start the walk with him," said Phillips, who joined Brown for the first few minutes of the walk. "You can ask 10 people about the Salton sea and they don't know where it is in our backyard. I think it's great that he's bringing attention to the Salton Sea and trying to save it."
Celia Garcia lives across street from the community center and in the same apartment complex Brown has been using as his basecamp for the past month and a half.
Garcia said she first learned about Brown through friends and other groups that work with the saving the sea.
"It think it is fabulous, the more attention that's brought to the fact the sea needs to be saved is best," she said. "No one has ever really taken this approach before. It really is bringing awareness."
As a resident, Garcia said, this reminds her and her neighbors about the beauty of the lake.
"It brings about this nostalgic feel of what it was and potentially what it can be again," she said. "People get caught up in the politics of saving the sea and we don't really get to focus on the fact that it's this living thing in front of us – I think that's what Randy does."
On his journey, Brown will likely have to contend with triple-digit heat, perhaps thunderstorms, the latter of which he didn't necessarily anticipate in his months of training.
But four hours into his expedition, the threat of rain remained just that. The gray skies actually provided Brown with more favorable weather conditions.
"We're ahead of schedule," Brown said from Corvina Beach. "The weather is cooperative so far, no rain as I'd been fearing. Nice and cool. Today should be a nice comfortable day."
Brown said Monday he remained focused on the effort to bring attention to the plight of the Salton Sea, which is at risk of drying up as the toll of falling water levels and reduced agricultural water runoff that has traditionally fed the lake intensifies.
Brown intends to hold several live broadcasts throughout the journey, depending on reception or if "I'm bored."
Brown has also posted on his Facebook page times and locations the public and come out to support him during his walk.
John Sears, his father-in-law who serving the operations manager for the trek Sears said the last two days were hard for Brown, adding he hardly slept Sunday night just from excitement.
"Randy's done so much work and he's really got it down to a science. I've got my schedule, down to the minute," he said, referring to the detailed account for the journey. "It is very well thought out."

Antoinette O'Connell
Antoinette O'Connell has been co-creating essences since 1997. Her research shows that essences have a more rounded approach and has a gentle and stabilizing effect in the body. In over 20 years of practice she has been treating people, animals and has specialized in horses.
Antoinette learned early on that each animal has a unique personality and like people they react differently to training and in the way they deal with illness and accidents. The essences help them become happier and more relaxed; therefore they present less injuries or illnesses. She has been using her essences to treat both the psychological and physical problems of the animals and their owners.
She trained and worked in Ireland, the UK, Canada and the USA. Antoinette worked in cooperation with veterinary clinics, looking after ill and injured animals. Her specialty is in their treatment, recovery and in training them back to fitness and health.
In her work she also dealt with difficult and problematic animals for the Irish Horse Welfare Trust, where she treated and helped the recovery process of horses that had been mistreated and abused in the hands of their previous owners. She has spent many years researching different ways to help them.
In 1986, after a series of good results using homeopathy with her own animals, Antoinette decided to go and study at the Devon School of Homeopathy, in England. After graduating she worked in Dublin and later became a director of The Irish School of Homeopathy where she taught for many years.
In 1990, Antoinette was a founder member of the Irish Society of Homeopaths. She also worked with the European Council of Homeopaths in writing the core curriculum which is now used as the standard for the teaching of homeopathy in Europe and the USA. In 1999 she then moved on into using her own essences (crystal, plants, trees and vibrational ones) in her practice.
In 2006 she met Ana Vidal and together they started the co-creation of the Dragonlight Essences and founded the Dragon Energy Center in 2007, in São Paulo.
Ana Vidal
Ana was born in Brazil and has lived in England since 1992. Her unique clearing and healing method combines the intuitive Brazilian style and techniques she learned both there and in the UK.
She works with hands on healing, a radionics board, pendulum, flower, crystal, and vibrational essences as well as visualization techniques and other combined shamanic and intuitive methods.
After a successful career in journalism in Brazil she moved to England to work at the BBC World Service. Deciding to change paths, her next step was to work with refugees in London.
In an effort to help those who had undergone a very acute state of suffering, Ana set up a project for survivors of torture within 'The Refugee Arrivals' Project'.
In London, England, Ana studied Healing in the College of Psychic Studies and learned how to work with flower essences and other energetic techniques such as crystals and radionics, thus creating a unique style.
Her work is the result of several years working with refugees and survivors of torture. She focuses her work on helping to relieve the emotional, mental and physical pain of people. She gives courses and has clients in several countries.
In 2006 whilst working in Ireland she met the homeopath and essence maker Antoinette O'Connell and together they started the Dragonlight Essences.


All good on Kirin 659 (Huawei)!
By "work on Nougat" you mean it shows up in the settings? Yeah it does show up. But each time headphones are connected it switches to the default output, just like several others have reported. And I have a OnePlus One.
Alright this thread is a joke now. I give up on storing hi-res music on my phone anymore, because it's just not compatible with Nougat and we already have a plethora of Oreo ROMs. Zero communication whatsoever.
Tool's new album will come out before the release.
OnePlus One Basically any ROM based on Lineage OS 7.1.1 (Resurrection Remix 5.8.2) High res option shows up in alpha 704 but reverts back to openSL output.
Currently I would just add that compatibility for Android 7+ versions should be added as a small quick fix. Coz a lot of devices are getting official Nougat 7.1 or CM14.1. I for myself can't make the jump because hi-res output isn't compatible in those ROMs yet. So, instead of all big changes, just a quick fix for compatibility should be rolled out.
Slightly off-topic here, but I have DSOM in dff format. But dff doesn't support tagging. I'm trying to convert it into dsf without losing quality so that I can tag them. Any ideas?
That's because Viper doesn't support native processing of 96khz tracks. It will downsample your hi-res tracks back to 48/44.1 kHz. That's why I ditched Viper after v3 alpha. No plugin required whatsoever.


If you work with several costumers and each with several instances (DEV, QUA, PROD, etc...) it would be nice to have a Server Logon manager where you could have all you systems organized.
We've already asked for a "Remind me" / password save action.
So this would be so nice.
BTW, have Service Studio and Integration Studio share the same server/logon list.
And all the entries should be saved in a local file, for us to be able to move this data to another PC.
unlike SAP where you can nick the file, from someone else, to then login without needing to know the other users password.
