CaBarret Brings Burlesque to the Barre
By Ashley Brozic Feb 11, 2015, 9:18am EST
Share All sharing options for: CaBarret Brings Burlesque to the Barre
Raquel Zaldivar
Barre workouts? A hot thing right now in Miami. Dance workouts? We're practically the capital. Mix them both together, and you could be looking at the nation's next big thing. Enter onto the dance floor CaBarret, a workout that infuses the sculpting and toning of a barre workout, along with the sensual cardio of burlesque dancing. Yes, burlesque.
"We spend the first half hour working on the barre and then a half hour working on cardio burlesque dance," says CaBarret founder, Nicole LaBonde. "It sets it apart from those barre classes that are missing the cardio and coordination and dance aspect, and it sets it apart from the dance classes that are missing the training and toning elements."
When Nicole moved to Miami from Philadelphia a few year's back, she was in a bit of a workout rut. "I was having trouble finding adult dance classes that weren't Zumba or hip hop. If you know me, you know I'm a ballerina. I'm not going to a hip hop class, it's just not my thing."
Barre wasn't her thing either. "I went to a bar class and I was like, what the heck is this? This has absolutely nothing to do with the barre."
What was a classically trained ballerina with a dance degree and theater experience to do? "I was looking for a class that I wanted to take and through a process of trial and error, I created one of my own."
I went to a bar class and I was like, what the heck is this? This has absolutely nothing to do with the barre.
Unlike those high velocity dance workouts like Zumba, Vixen Workout, and pole dancing where you throw your cares (and hips) to the wind, CaBarret has more of a dance class feel, where an instructor goes through the moves with you step by step, perfecting routines before the hour is up. The moves are sexy in their subtlety- asses are popped, not pumped; legs are flicked, not spread open on a pole.
Currently, Nicole hosts a free CaBarret class at FIU every Thursday, but since launching in 2013, she's quickly expanded her class offerings to include a Showgirl Shape Class at Goddess Studio in Fort Lauderdale (which is all dance), and a Ballerina Bodywork class. When we asked her if she saw a studio opening in her future, she responded positively, however her main project for 2015 is growing her teacher training program and getting it all around the country. "Feedback from teachers is that it's so different from everything out there," she mentions. While sexy workouts have become engrained in Miami's fabric, they're a new thing at many other places, like her hometown, Philly.
Retreats are a new thing for CaBarret too. While Nicole has long been infusing bachelorette, birthday, and even divorce parties with dance-focused CaBarret routines with her burlesque dance troop, Divas and Dolls (of which she's a founding member), retreats are a new thing for her. She says, they're a great way to boost up morales. "We really focus on the character and 'being seen' aspect of burlesque, because that's really what burlesque is all about. Being seen in your own body. A lot of us have a very uncomfortable in our own bodies, and that discomfort that we have with our bodies translates into relationships we have with people… we work a lot on getting through body issues."
CaBarret is, at its heart, a workout for ballerinas, or women looking to look like one. It differs in a traditional ballet class in that there's a certain sex appeal, but the focus is still on sculpting your body and, most importantly, making sure you're comfortable with it. It's the kind of workout that pushes you to let down your hair, but always keep your poise.

Igbinedion varsity moves to revolutionise healthcare delivery
By Michael Egbejule, Benin City
29 April 2019 | 3:31 am
Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State
The Federal Government has approved the move by the management of Igbinedion University, Okada (IUO) to establish a Patient Safety Institute at the ivory tower to revolutionise healthcare delivery in the country.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, gave the endorsement at the weekend in Okada, Edo State while delivering the Maiden Distinguished Guest Lecture Series of the institution's College of Health Sciences entitled "Patient Safety in Nigeria."
Emphasizing protection measures in all levels of healthcare delivery across the federation, he defined 'patient safety' as the reduction of unnecessary harm associated with healthcare to an acceptable minimum.
Adewole said patient safety as a discipline places premium on the protection of patients through prevention, reduction, reporting and analysis of medical errors, which often lead to adverse incidents.
He added that in medical practice, error could occur at the planning, monitoring or execution phase of healthcare, which according to him, is the failure to carry out a planned action or application of an incorrect plan to achieve a result through either doing the wrong thing (commission) or failing to do the right thing (omission).
To the minister, not all adverse events could be prevented given the knowledge, information and the state of the medical care at the time of the incident.
"For example, an allergic reaction to a drug administered for the first time is an adverse event but would be considered unpreventable given the lack of pre-existing knowledge of the patient's idiosyncratic allergy," he clarified.
Explaining the rising awareness on patient safety in the healthcare system, Adewole stated that accountability and application of safe science in the design and delivery of services would promote safety of Nigerians.
He added: "Although to err is human, patient safety is paramount in all healthcare settings and should not be compromised as it affects the quality of care.
"Clear policies, organisational and leadership capacity, data to drive safety improvements, skilled healthcare professionals and collaborations are all needed to ensure sustainable and significant improvements in patient safety."
The vice chancellor, Prof. Lawrence Ezemonye, lauded the guest lecturer, pointing out that with the endorsement, the university was poised to raise the bar of healthcare delivery nationwide.

"Amasiah willingly offered himself unto the LORD."
Amasiah was a military man, one of the chief officers in the reign of King Jehoshaphat. So important was he that two hundred thousand men were put under his command. Indeed a man of prominence, leadership and recognized ability. But the noblest characteristic of this man is revealed in the brief biographical sketch: "Amasiah willingly offered himself unto the LORD."
Let is note what this man offered unto the LORD, he offered himself willingly. That is our supreme offering. The highest contribution that . . .
Let is note what this man offered unto the LORD, he offered himself willingly. That is our supreme offering. The highest contribution that any man or woman can make is to give himself or herself unto the LORD. What a glorious thing for men and women to rise up and say without being coaxed or compelled: "Christ ought to have my best, and I am going to give Him my best."
Christian friends, let us be an asset to our congregations and be ready to say with God-given determination: "Here Lord I give myself to Thee, this is all that I can do."

Captain America: Civil War Movie Review
by Sharronda Williams - April 15, 2016 May 25, 2016
I am slowly trying to calm myself after watching this movie. (inserts standing ovation and Shia LeBouf clap) Marvel shocked us all when they announced a special fan screening of Captain America:Civil War three weeks prior to the movie coming out. Normally most studios only show high profile screenings a few days before the movie launches. I have to say this is probably one of the best films in the Marvel Universe if not the best one yet which makes sense as to why they decided to screen the movie so early. CA:CW is also trending high on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% score pre release (Now 92%). This movie gives you more of what you were missing from Avengers: Age of Ultron in the sequel to the last Captain America: Winter Soldier.
In CA:CW we are starting to see the destruction the Avengers have left behind in their plan to keep the world safe. Though their intentions are good many innocent people have died from the many battles of the Avengers. In this movie, you see the toil this has taken on characters like Wanda Maximoff, Tony Stark, and Bucky Barnes to name a few. This movie has a different feel from the others since despite the amazing action sequences (we will talk about this later) it really relied on the characters to showcase their amazing acting capabilities. You see a reversal of characters between Stark and Rogers. Stark who is atoning for the wrong his weapons and his role in the Avengers has made to Rogers who is taking a stand for what he truly believes in and allowing himself to break the law and stand against the United Nations. We also see Bucky who is not the evil Winter Soldier we saw in the first Captain America movie to now a tortured sole who is remembering all of the terrible acts he has committed.
We finally see the once tight knit Avengers take sides in who they believe is right. Should they stand with Iron Man who believes that they should be in check by the United Nations or Captain America who feels that the United Nations serves their own agenda which might not align with saving the world for the right reasons. This puts many of the Avengers on opposing sides which leads to an epic showdown of our beloved heroes at an airport. One of the great things about CA:CW is that they truly paired each opposing hero up very well which led to a realistic and glorious fight sequence.
In addition to our normal heroes we are introduced to two exciting new additions into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther and Spider-Man. I believe that these two characters truly stole the show. Chadwick Boseman did a superb job as portraying Black Panther and does not disappoint in his action scenes. The 19 year old newcomer Tom Holland left the audience in laughter and excitement as he did a great job of holding his own in the movie and keeping Marvel fans excited for the new Spider-Man returning home to Marvel.
With a great storyline and amazing special effects and actions scenes many fans will forget about the bad taste Batman vs Superman left in their mouths and will be excited for the new installments of Marvel movies to come. DC Comics should be worried because Civil War has definitely set the bar high and comic book fans across the world will not be disappointed.

Iran rock band seeks asylum in Britain
Members of Take it Easy Hospital, Iran's leading underground rock band, have applied for political asylum in Britain after one of the group was arrested following the disputed presidential election.
Take it Easy Hospital's Ash Koosha (Lt) and Negar (Nellie) Haghaghi
By Damien McElroy and Benjamin Allen
10:59PM BST 11 Aug 2009
Four members of the Indie band were interviewed by the Home Office on Monday after submitting applications to remain in the UK.
"If I go back to Iran I will be arrested automatically because the authorities known what I have been doing," Ash Koosha, the lead singer told The Daily Telegraph. "Since the election things have got a lot worse. There is no hope in Iran for doing what I do.
"If we have any concerts or play our music in Iran, then we will get arrested."
As a woman, vocalist Negar Haghaghi would not be allowed to perform in public in Iran. Two other members, Pooya Koosha and Kabeh Ayati, have also applied for sanctuary in the UK.
A fifth member of the band was arrested in July when mass demonstrations filled the streets of the large cities. Protesters were attacked and detained while attempting to overturn the result of the election, which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by a large majority. The band member has not been heard from since.
Mr Koosha, who arrived in Britain in January this year after fleeing his homeland, has already spent 21 days in prison after a gig was raided in 2007.
Underground performances have a large following in Iran but must evade the reach of the country's morality police, which rigorously guards against male and female fraternisation.
"We have a large following but we are a subculture," he said. "We're underground and the authorities regard us as Satanists."
The campaign of Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the leading challenger to Mr Ahmadinejad, yesterday submitted the names of 69 victims of the post election violence to Iran's parliament.
Ali Reza Beheshti, a close aide of Mr Mousavi, said that the figure was twice the official toll and was accompanied by the names of 220 detainees still held by the authorities.

Andy Carroll Biography
Andy Carroll Videos
CARROLL SCORES FIRST READING GOAL
Experienced English striker Andy Carroll scored his first goal for Reading on the occasion of his first start to help his team come from behind to beat hosts Swansea City 3-2 in an English Championship clash played on Saturday.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFNhbWzXEAg9JwE.jpg
Swansea City made a dream start to the game when Jamie Paterson scored in the third minute to edge the Welsh team 1-0 ahead, but the lead barely lasted for a minute before the impressive Tom Dele-Bashiru equalised for the Royals. Reading then took the lead for the first time in the game when Andy Carroll found the back of the net on the half hour mark for his first goal for the club.
Andy Carroll was a free agent when Reading signed him earlier this month and he was making his first start for the club against the Swans and a third appearance overall. The Ex-England national team man had made substitute appearances against Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United before the Swansea City game. His goal was enough to give Reading a 2-1 lead at the end of the first 45 minutes.
Irish footballer Ryan Manning dragged Swansea City level four minutes into the second half only for the Welsh team to lose a goal after scoring for the second time. Reading were level for about a minute before the experienced Danny Drinkwater scored for the first time in four years. The goal from Ex-Leicester City and Manchester United midfielder Drinkwater proved to be the winning goal after the Royals held on for the final forty minutes of the game.
Andy Carroll got 81 minutes under his belt before he was replaced by Romanian striker George Puscas.
With the result against Swansea City, Reading were able to pick up their first win in three games as they moved four points clear of the relegation zone.

Lovers and Other Strangers (1970)
"I love weddings — they're such a family thing."
As Mike (Michael Brandon) and Susan's (Bonnie Bedelia) wedding approaches and Mike experiences cold feet, their friends and family members struggle with relationship issues of their own.
Bonnie Bedelia Films
Diane Keaton Films
Play Adaptations
Based on a play by married writing team Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, this ensemble romantic comedy (featuring the Oscar-winning song "For All We Know", popularized by Karen Carpenter) still retains much of its charm and relevancy. Shifting between numerous serio-comic storylines — all focusing on the challenges inherent in either initiating or maintaining a romantic relationship — it features a host of fine performances by both little-known actors (i.e., Marian Hailey, whose film career went nowhere) and actors who would shortly make bigger names for themselves (i.e., a baby-faced Diane Keaton in her film debut). The film nicely infuses humor into such weighty issues as divorce, sexual dissatisfaction, and infidelity; and while some subplots are (naturally) more satisfying than others, all seem crafted with care.
Bedelia is lovely as the bride-to-be who knows exactly how to handle her nervous groom; we sense that this couple will stick it out, and their interactions serve as an effectively grounded counterpoint to the rest of the movie. The most blatantly comedic storyline follows a horny friend-of-the-groom (Bob Dishy) determined to "score" with the bride's ditzy cousin (Hailey); their cat-and-mouse courtship offers some giggle-worthy surprises. Bea Arthur and Richard Castellano are note-perfect as the devout Catholic parents of Brandon and Joseph Hindy; their deep distress and bafflement at the dissolution of Hindy's marriage to Diane Keaton is sensitively handled. Much less humorous (and not given enough screentime) is the depiction of an ongoing affair between the father of the bride (Gig Young) and a family friend (Anne Jackson); this scenario ultimately comes across as simply tragic in its inevitability. The most dated subplot — though it still packs a disturbing punch in its own way — shows Anne Meara's happily married but sexually neglected housewife attempting to assuage her insecure husband (Harry Guardino).
Note: Taylor and Bologna's follow-up film was the 1971 sleeper Made For Each Other, which deals in an even more brutally incisive fashion with relationship issues; they would make an interesting, emotionally loaded double-bill.
Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
Fine performances by the entire ensemble cast
An often clever, still largely relevant screenplay

No, but it's recommended. Listed as a Sleeper in the back of Peary's book.

One Response to "Lovers and Other Strangers (1970)"
David Csontos, on December 27th, 2011 at 10:15 pm Said:
Like their 1971 follow-up, 'Made For Each Other', this is another must from writing team Taylor and Bologna.
40+ years on, 'Lovers…' is still consistently funny (sometimes savagely so, because so much truth remains in it). It's marvelously constructed: the first half introduces us to (most of) the various couples and what their relationships are based on – then comes the wedding, which throws all the couples together (completing the final one when Keaton finally enters) for a kind of showdown. Who will survive?
This film is all about that elusive thing called 'happiness'. Is it real? What does it mean? As Arthur (pitch-perfect in this) says, "Don't look for happiness, Richie. It'll only make you miserable." As Dishy says to new date Hailey later, "Name me one married couple you know that's happy."
Part of the brilliance of the script is that it throws it all out there: it features the gamut of relationships, everything from those just starting out dating or getting married through to infidelity, divorce, those struggling to hold things together, and those resigned to what really gives marriage longevity (even as it calls into question what longevity means).
Throughout, we're often not sure whether we should be laughing or not. Partly because all of the relationships are infused with, on some level, a keen sense of the ridiculous. And that is not a cheap shot. As we all know, all too often, relationships *are* infused with a sense of the ridiculous – the writers know this all too well and they know that their audience knows this. So we get a mixture: love here is taken just as seriously as it is lampooned. And it works.
I think what I like most about this movie is the 'warts and all' aspect of its characters; everybody is flawed. Since that's the case here, it's refreshing that, come the ending, not everything is tied up neatly. We're left to decide for ourselves what may or may not happen with these people. The film begins and ends just the way life is. There's been no manipulation – we just see people as they are. As Castellano so aptly says at one point, "We're all strangers. But, after awhile, you get used to it. You become…deeper strangers."
Fave exchange: At the wedding, Hailey quickly enters Dishy's hotel room and slams the door secretively behind her –
Hailey: "Sometimes I look at a man and he's a chair, a rock, a tree."
Dishy (understandably clueless): What?
Hailey: That's what Monica Vitti said in 'L'Avventura'.

Wanderer 1Sp (Sport)–легкий мотоцикл производства немецкой фирмы Wanderer.
Выпускался на заводе Wanderer Chemnitz-Schönau с 1938 года, имел гражданское назначение, также был на вооружении Вермахта.

Известен как прототип первого советского легкого мотоцикла К1-Б выпускавшегося на Киевском мотоциклетном заводе.

Описание конструкции

Мотоцикл оснащался одноцилиндровым двухтактным двигателем воздушного охлаждения с дефлекторной продувкой фирмы Sachs модель 98, рабочим объемом 97,7 куб. см, мощностью 2,3 л.с. при 3300 об / мин.

Картер двигателя и головка цилиндра отливались из алюминиевого сплава, цилиндр из чугуна. Коробка передач двухступенчатая с полусухим двухдисковым сцеплением. Мотор был оснащен маховиковым магдино, которое обеспечивало искровое зажигание и освещение фары и заднего фонаря (6-8 Вольт, 5 Вт). [3] Отдельно для функции освещения без работающего двигателя была предусмотрена наборная гальваническая батарея.
Рама мотоцикла трубчатая, закрытого типа с кареткой для педалей велосипедного типа. Передняя вилка параллелограммный конструкции, с пружинным амортизатором  и фрикционными демпферами колебаний, заднее колесо без амортизации.

Wanderer 1Sp  был оснащен велосипедными педалями, которые были соединены цепной передачей с задним колесом и служили для запуска двигателя и торможения. Привод от мотора на заднее колесо реализовался роликовой цепью. Задняя ось была оснащена тормозной втулкой велосипедного типа Fichtel & Sachs «Торпедо». На переднем колесе была установлена втулка с тормозными колодками. Размер шин 26х2,25 дюймов.

Цепь педалей и двигателя прикрывались защитными щитками, мотоцикл оснащался откидной центральной подставкой и спидометром со счетчиком пробега.
Справа на топливном баке установлен рычаг переключения передач. Рычаг фиксировался в трех положениях: две передачи и нейтраль.

В 1946 году оборудования и технологическое оборудование завода Wanderer в Хемниц-Шонау, было вывезено по репарации в Киев для развития мотоциклетного завода КМЗ.  По присутствию интернированных немецких специалистов завода Wanderer было налажено массовое производство легкого мотоцикла К1-Б. Это была копия модели «Wanderer-1Sp». Первый год производства на мотоцикл устанавливали двигатели которые производили в Германии (ГДР) бывшим заводом Fichtel & Sachs. Впоследствии было налажено собственное производство двигателя, копию двухскоростного мотора Sachs 98.

While disequilibrium and vertigo are often both referred to under the blanket term of dizziness, they are two different symptoms. Since explaining your symptoms accurately to a health care professional is an important part of getting the help you need, here are a few things you should know in order to understand the difference between these conditions.
Disequilibrium refers to the sensation that one is about to fall or that it is necessary to obtain assistance to move without falling. It may even seem like the ground is beginning to slant, or a person may feel like he is floating about the ground. Disequilibrium can begin either in the inner ear or in the central nervous system, the vital components that make up the vestibular system.
In contrast, vertigo specifically refers to a false sense of motion. The room may seem to spin, or a person may feel like he is moving when he is actually sitting or standing still. It can also refer to motion that is interpreted inaccurately such as if a person is actually moving backward but feels like he is moving forward.

Disequilibrium often arises following a head injury. There are numerous cases studies that connect head injuries to upper cervical misalignments. This is because the neck and the head often suffer injuries simultaneously. A neck misalignment, in turn, can create the right circumstances for disequilibrium to occur.
In short, if you are experiencing any type of dizziness following a fall, accident, or injury, it is a good idea to have your upper cervical spine examined for a misalignment. Even if the trauma occurred a number of years ago, correcting an existing subluxation can allow the body the opportunity to heal naturally. At Arete Chiropractic, we use the Blair upper cervical method to correct misalignments and help our patients improve their health.

Chinese Civil Aviation Uniforms Wearing Requirements
On the Chinese civil aviation uniforms wearing requirements, today finally met. Today, my question is about work security places dress (mainly wearing reflective signs clothing) requirements whether there is a uniform standard, our airport due to geographical restrictions, the area of the growth area of the ramp, only one for the maintenance of vehicles through the bridge The road between the bridge and the bridge is very small, and the bridge between the bridge and the bridge is also very small, the vehicle driving on the security staff posed a certain threat, so I set the airport with a reflective strip of the warning vest, the staff in the When you enter the security ground, you should wear the vest. But my airport arranged by the reflective strip vest, due to wear a long time, the reflective strip above the silver powder has been off, especially at night has been unable to achieve the role of reflective, and the airport did not update the plan (already more Made the unsolved problem), so that wearing the reflective vest is actually only a form, and for their own safety does not have any meaning. In addition, the airline's staff of the anti-reflective style uniforms above the reflective effect is very good, can take the reflective strip of the warning vest to cancel, unified the reflective printed on the work clothes above (the effect is the same), civil aviation Aviation industry standards whether there is this specification, please help experts to answer, thank you!
Expert Comments:
Article 114 of the Provisions on the Safety Management of Civil Airways Operation (CCAR-140), which came into effect on February 1, 2008, requires that all personnel engaged in security operations on the apron should wear working documents according to regulations, Wearing a work clothes, and equipped with reflective logo.
"CCAR-331SB-R1" also stipulates in Article 22 that workers should wear reflective clothing as required.
"Civil airport security audit checklist" on the ramp workers put forward a further clear requirements: should be wearing a chest with two 30mm wide, 40mm interval of the strip of light orange reflective vest operation.
To be frank, the units engaged in the operation of the apron have made a reflexive overalls for their own security personnel,
, But the safety of the ramp has played a positive role, but also the existence of the reporter mentioned the security risks. So that both the airport operators, or airlines, oil and other operations in the apron, must strictly abide by the relevant provisions of the Council, uniform dress to ensure that the production and operation of the apron safe and orderly.

"Tenor Greg Fedderly filled the other great theatrical/comic role, Monostatos. This production dresses him in a Divine-like getup, wrapped in a bat-wing cape, and Fedderly let the camp speak effectively for itself, while singing and acting with light-hearted verve."
George Grella, The New York Classical Review, 28 September 2017
"Greg Fedderly's portrayal of Monostatos is wonderfully witty…"
David M. Rice, Classical Source, 27 September 2017
"The rest of the cast was made of superb character actors. Greg Fedderly in the role of Monostatos, the Queen's slave, who goes undercover in Sarastro's temple, played the part as a villain in a cheesy superhero TV show, perhaps even the Penguin.
In collaboration with Markus Werba's Papageno, Fedderly made the dialogue come alive with spectacular comic timing."

"Maria Valdes made the most of her small role as Papageno's exuberant intended, Papagena; while tenor Greg Fedderly was such a lively Monostatos, the villain of the piece, it was a joy to watch him looming over Pamina. With Solís, these three could give Broadway veterans some competition."
Pamela Feinsilber, The Huffington Post, 28 October 2017

Opera Reviews, 30 May 2013


As some of you know, I was a bit shocked to give birth to a little girl in July. Along with the generalized panic of raising a princess after only having experienced loud, rambunctious boys, there were some practical problems as well. First and foremost: NO GIRL CLOTHES. My closets were filled with plastic bins full of outgrown boy's clothes. And try as I might, I could only bring myself to put my little girl in a few of the baseball outfits!
Oki Kid's Swap to the RESCUE! At the end of August, I went through some of my boy's clothes and took them to check in for the swap. Two days later, I met with other eager moms at the USO and the swap began. There were tables piled high with beautiful clothing — some hardly worn at all (as is generally the case with the baby/toddler clothes I was seeking). Annastasia told us to go for it and I stuffed bags full of delightful GIRLY clothes. And I still have credits left for the next swap coming soon!
As I chatted with Annastasia, I discovered this was her "baby" and was once again thrilled with the ingenuity and creativity of the spouses on this island. If you can't find it, MAKE IT YOURSELF!
1. What is your job? I run the Okinawa Kids Clothing Swappers Group.
2. How did you hear of your job? I created it!
4. Why did you start the swap? I hate buying new clothes, and miss all the thrift stores back home. . . so I figured if I set up a swap, then we could all trade for clothes that we need or want.
5. Time commitment? It does take a lot of time ~ I would say around 20 hours of work goes into each swap, sometimes more.
6. Do you get paid? No monetary pay, I do get to participate sometimes as well and get my kiddos some clothes (that is why I started it after all!).
7. Skill requirements? I think you have to be "picky" With attention to detail ~ If you wouldn't put your kid in it, or if there are stains, I don't want to let it into the swap (though there are always some things that make it through).
8. What are the difficult aspects of this job? I like it, though It gets rough planning and executing an entire swap with just a few volunteers. If it wasn't for Sarah, I am not sure I could do it.
9. Would you have considered this job if you were living stateside? I don't know that I would have been the organizer of one, but I surely would have participated in them!
10. What kind of work did you do before coming to Oki? I am a hairdresser, and owned a salon in Oregon with my Mom.
11. How will you be replaced when you leave this job? I will have to find someone when we PCS in a year and a half who WANTS to do it, and has the drive to make it as good as possible; like I try to do.
12. Do you feel like you are making a difference in other's island experience because of your job? For sure! It is clothing your kids for FREE as they outgrow stuff they no longer need! Who doesn't need free clothes?
For more information and details on the next swap, go to Oki Kids Swap Facebook Page.
I love this idea. I definitely want to join in. Oh, and anyone who has boys clothes 8-10, please come!!!!
The last swap was great. I am still enjoying all of the girls "new" clothes!
What a great idea, I would love to check out the next kids swap.

Buy Online, Pick up in Store ; a third focuses on a live presentation of their ambitious sonic inquiries, where electronic meets organic and blurs the seams to create something entirely different. Performing with Matthew Shipp playing an electric Fender Rhodes piano, bassist William Parker, British sax king Evan Parker, drummer Han Bennink, and Spiritualized guitarist and frontman J. Spaceman, Coxon and Wales (himself a classical composer some years ago) have seemingly done the impossible, taking what is made on the spot and treating, warping, spindling, and manipulating it into a creature that may not resemble itself, but does indeed feel like something that lives, breathes, pulses, whispers, bleats, shouts, cries, and whimpers. Something wholly other that is neither jazz nor pure improv nor electronica, this attains the goal of live music itself -- as a thoroughly engaging experience for musicians and audience alike. Quotes from great jazz masterpieces like "In a Silent Way" and "Naima" are touched upon, as are forgotten pop hits such as "Little Green Apples," morphing from one individual's voice to another's seamlessly and without communicative strain. Dynamics occur naturally, as do changes in pace, tempo, and harmonic architecture. Given that there are two different pieces here, each over half an hour in length, this pace and focus are hard to keep, but the way Spring Heel Jack treats its collaborators' improvising schemes and mirrors them back, stretching them out against time and pulling them forward, allows for more space, more room for rhythm to assert itself. Bennink and William Parker do this with a vengeance on the extended opening to "Part Two," going on for over eight minutes before the rest of the band comes in. It's not just a dialogue they develop between the bass, drums, and ambience, but language itself. Before they are halfway done, they begin to speak with one voice as a rhythmic solo. When the rest of the band enters, it's fast and furious before breaking down into smaller parts of singles and pairs to meet the language previously created and engage it in dialogue, even while quoting from earlier sources -- "A Love Supreme" is one, a boogie-woogie version of "Harlem Nocturne" is another, while "Lennie's Pennies" is still another. This is fascinating stuff to say the least, and devastatingly original at its best. Highly recommended.

Does Iceland Need A New Flag? — The Reykjavik Grapevine
Does Iceland Need A New Flag?
Hörður Lárusson weighs in…
Larissa Kyzer
A graphic designer, an instructor at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, and the president of the Icelandic Association of Graphic Designers, Hörður Lárusson has worked on an extensive and diverse range of design projects. He has a particular interest, however, in the history and design of Iceland's flag, and has published two books on the subject, "Fáninn / The Flag" (in both Icelandic and English), and "Þjóðfáni Íslands" ('The National Flag of Iceland').
As explained in "Fáninn," 100 years ago, a committee was established to come up with design suggestions for the new Icelandic flag. They petitioned the public for ideas and received 46 unique designs. 35 of these utilized a cross as a central element, 13 suggested a cross on a flag of red, blue, and white. At least six suggestions featured stars, at least two featured Mjölnir, the hammer of the god Þór (Thor).
During DesignMarch, Hörður and two fellow graphic designers—Atli Þór Árnason and Unnie Arendrup—will be replicating this public petition as part of the "Raise a Flag" event, where they too will accept design suggestions for a new Icelandic flag. The resulting drawings will then be displayed at Gallery ÞOKA during DesignMarch.
Why do you think it's time to redesign the Icelandic flag?
This might be a strange way to start my answers, but I don't actually think our flag needs to be redesigned. I'm sure many can come up with what they think is a better version of the flag. But in theory, there is nothing wrong with our current one. It's simple, easy to draw by memory, has strong colours and doesn't have any negative connotations. Really, the only reason one would have to want to redesign it is a selfish one, a 'just because' kind of reason.
Our flag will be 100 years old next year, which isn't that old. We can use it for quite a number of years to come. Compare that to the Danish flag, which was given to the Danes in 1219 by God (according to legend). It's still more or less exactly the same almost 800 years later.
What are some of the design elements of the current flag which you think do—or don't—work very well?
Design wise, I think the Icelandic flag works quite well. It has three strong colors, with high contrasts between the ones touching (blue touches white touches red). It bears the so-called "Scandinavian Cross", which links us to the other Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Åland Islands and the Faroe Islands…as well as a couple of countries outside of Scandinavia, to be precise about it). The proportions of the flag are well thought out. I could go on. There really isn't much negative you could say about it when it comes to the design side.
If you were to start completely from scratch, without any outside suggestions, what would your proposal for the new Icelandic flag look like?
I think if we were a new nation looking for a new flag—but still located where we are, with our ties to the Nordic countries—it'd be hard to look past the cross as a main element. But at the same time, we'd have to take into consideration that the cross represents Christianity, and today's world is different that the one 100 years ago. I'm not sure we'd have the same luck getting a flag with a religious symbol as the core design element. I think whoever would be designing the flag today would stay away from that connection.
My proposal would most likely go in the direction of using Icelandic nature as the core element. Possibly with a focus on the sea, as it plays such a huge part in who we are as a nation. So I can most certainly say there would be a lot of blue in it.
When the public was surveyed for suggestions 100 years ago, there were a number of recurrent symbols, patterns, and colors schemes used. When you take new suggestions from the public during the DesignMarch festival, do you expect to see new design trends or popular color palates emerge?
As I mentioned in the last question, I think less people would be thinking about religious symbols in a "new" flag, so we might see a few less crosses. But then again, I don't think so many people actually think of the current design as a religious one. I think we'll see quite a few radical ideas. A lot of people like to see change, just for the sake of change. We might see a few fishes, maybe a whale or a puffin.
About the colour, there actually are some rules when it comes to flag and such symbols. If being strict, the only colours one is allowed to use are blue, red, green, black, yellow and white. But not all countries follow this, and for our suggestions, there won't be a limit of colours. I'm hoping for something radical. Something new. Something current and fun.
In the past, both a flattened cod and a falcon were popular national symbols. Do you think these symbols still appropriately represent Iceland? If not, are there other symbols which better suit and/or represent the country today?
These symbols were there for a reason. The flattened cod, simply because it was one of our main exports to Denmark. (The flattened cod symbol is actually still our longest running flag or symbol for Iceland.) Then the falcon came to be because we (the Icelandic people) wanted something more noble than a cod. So we wanted a falcon with open wings, about to take flight. This was to symbolise the new nation, about to take off flying on our own. We asked the Danes to make this our crest, and they agreed. Only problem was that the artist in Denmark only found one stuffed falcon to draw by. And that bird was sitting still, wings folded. So our heroic bird, about to take flight, ended up sitting dead still (literally) on a rock. Whether this is really the true story, or if maybe the Danes simply didn't want us flying away, who can say. But the sitting falcon didn't last long as our symbol.
No, neither of those symbols really work today. We might have nostalgia about them, but that's about it.
Finding new symbols for a country like ours is much harder today than it was 100 years ago. Our culture has become much diverse, so we would most likely have to rely on something from the past. Or, as I mentioned before, something very neutral, like nature.
What basic design standards might you suggest for someone thinking of designing a new flag today?
Keep it simple, visually strong and make sure anyone can draw it by memory. A great guideline is: can a kid in kindergarden draw it without looking at a picture?
What kind of influence do you think a flag or national symbol has on a nation? Is it important to change national symbols over time, or do you think there is a value to maintaining the same symbols for many generations?
This really depends on the nation and how they use their flag. We Icelanders have actually not used our flag all that much, which means it's not loaded with ideas, thoughts and symbols (others than the actual meaning of the flag). And as long as the meaning hasn't become distorted, then there is no reason to change it. Why fix something that isn't broken?
But then you have many, many examples from all over the world, where an event (usually a war) has forced a country do change their national symbols. Some events are even so horrific that ancient symbols have been destroyed for generations to come. The most obvious example is the swastika.
In my second book on the Icelandic flag (which sadly has only been published in Icelandic to date) there is a great foreword by our former president, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir. She talks about just this, how lucky we are to have a flag that isn't loaded with negative meanings. She goes on to say how happy she is that our flag isn't, for instance, a falcon. Why would a country that has never been at war need a bird of pray as their symbol?
As a graphic designer, what interests you the most about this current flag project?
I think flags are something most every designer loves in one way or the other. I might be a bit on the extreme side with my interest in, and love for, our flag and it's history.
For this project, what I'm most interested in is the collaboration between a designer and a non-designer. Although I'm expecting quite a few proposals from designers, I'm hoping for even more suggestions from just anyone. Any age. Any profession. And they can only suggest the design in writing, leaving it to us to translate that description to a symbol.
Collaboration, whether it's between designers or otherwise, is something I love and welcome. And this is an opportunity to do a huge collaboration piece with people I've never even met.
How does this project fit in with your other design work?
One of the things I strive to do in any work is to simplify my design down to be everything it needs to be and no more. This does not simply mean being minimalistic, but more about getting rid of clutter and unnecessary things. And designing flags is just that. Stripping away all that doesn't belong in order to end up with a strong visual message. Something that hopefully will move the onlooker in one way or the other.
Once you've collected flag suggestions from the public, what will you do with them?
Me and two good friends who are graphic designers, Atli Þór Árnason and Unnie Arendrup, will be attempting to draw every single suggestion that is submitted. These drawings will then be displayed at Gallery ÞOKA on Laugavegur 25 during DesignMarch. And since I'm leaving such a huge part of the project up to you all, I have no idea how it'll turn out. But I'm looking forward to seeing it.

In the fiercely competitive online environment, you should be looking to use every tool at your disposal to your advantage. One "tool" that is shockingly under-utilized is Google's rich snippets feature. You're probably familiar with rich snippets: they're the extra "snippets" of information that sit alongside some results in the SERPs. Why do they matter? Well, for a start, they make your page stand out from the competition, meaning they are a proven way to boost your CTR and increase your traffic from the search engines.
Despite the obvious benefits, only 0.3% of websites make use of rich snippets. Read that again: 0.3%. Of course, this figure is the average of all websites on the Internet, and is likely to be significantly higher in more technical niches, but it's still an area that plenty of webmasters are failing to take advantage of. Today I'm going to show you how to install rich snippets on your website in the simplest manner possible: using a WordPress plugin.
Now, Google doesn't just pull the rich snippets extracts directly from your content. Instead, it needs users to insert microdata to help it understand the nature of your content. It can then convert this microdata into the information displayed in the rich snippets. Inserting this microdata manually can get quite technical (see schema.org for more details); using a plugin just streamlines the whole process.
There are a number of free plugins available to help you install the rich snippets function on your website. With a number of rich snippet types–including authorship, events, review and recipe snippets–some plugins focus on one specific type of rich snippet, while there are also a few "all in one" style plugins. I've picked out a both types, to help you find the best plugin for your needs.
All in One Schema.org Rich Snippets plugin is one of the best all-in-one rich snippet plugins available, in my opinion. It automatically inserts the schema microdata into each post, which Google can translate into rich snippets. It supports a wide range of rich snippet types, including: authorship, events, people, personal review, product, recipe, software reviews & videos.
The number of snippets supported is to be expanded in future updates, with book reviews and local business snippets penciled in. The plugin's simplicity is its strong point. Underneath your text editor you'll find a metabox, with a small drop-down menu with all the different snippet types the plugin supports.
After you've selected the most suitable option, you'll see a number of fields to fill in, depending on your first selection. For example, a recipe snippet will require an estimated cooking duration, while the authorship snippet will need the author's name.
When you're done, hit publish as usual and Google will be able to recognize the microdata and use this to populate the rich snippets next to your link in the SERPs. Clean, quick and easy!
The Schema Creator plugin is very similar to the All in One plugin: essentially, it adds schema microdata to your posts. However, it uses a slightly different process, and support a different range of rich snippet types: book, event, movie, organization, person, product, recipe, review, etc.
The main difference is the addition of the book, movie and organization snippets, so if you run a local business website, or one dedicated to movies or books, this plugin would be more suitable for your needs. To add the microdata, the plugin adds an extra button above the visual editor, labelled Add Schema. This brings up a lightbox with a simple drop-down menu.
Selecting the snippets type you want will bring up some additional fields, which you can fill in. There are a lot more fields included when compared with the All in One Schema.org Rich Snippets plugin, allowing you to attach far more detailed excerpts to each post. Although not all fields will appear in the rich snippets at once–there's far too many–it allows you to provide more detail to the search engines about your post, and this can only be a good thing.
When you're done filling in your information, hit Insert and this will place a shortcode into the visual editor. Hit publish when you're ready, and this will add the schema microdata to your post.
If you're looking to drive more traffic to your business or personal website, the Rich Contact Widget plugin could be what you're looking for. I consider this to be more of a specialist plugin, as it has far less versatility than our first two plugins. Rich Contact Widget only supports a very specific type of rich snippets: individual and local organizations. It also only offers a site-wide rich snippet, rather than one customized for each individual post.
The plugin allows you to create a contact widget, which can be placed in your sidebar. This lets you include information including your name, telephone number, address and type of business–there are tons to choose from, from animal shelter to nightclub, from casino to tattoo parlor. This creates a nice looking contact box–a useful feature in itself.
However, the real benefit of this plugin is that the contact details you input are also converted into microdata for the search engines. This means your business' contact detail will be included alongside your search listing as a rich snippet. This is very useful if you have a primarily local customer base.
If you're a blogger, Google has created a rich snippet specifically for you: the authorship snippet. The AuthorSure plugin makes it easy to claim your authorship snippet, whether you're a one-man show or running a multi-author blog. AuthorSure makes it easy to create an author box at the bottom of each post, complete with bio, profile and social links. A drop down menu allows you to easily select the author of an individual piece.
The best part: all author information is also inserted as microdata, telling the search engines who the author of the article is, which it then displays as a rich snippet in the SERPs. All you need to do is input your Google+ details on your WordPress user profile page, and you're good to go.
Have you ever noticed the star rating snippets included in the SERPs? If not, see the screenshot above to see what I'm talking about. YASR is an awesome plugin that allows you to add this feature to your rich snippets. All star ratings can be displayed on your website, but they are also indexed as microdata, allowing the search engines to understand them.
You can use this plugin in two different ways: to provide your own rating, or to collate ratings from your user-base. If you review products or services regularly from your blog, this first option will be very useful. Not only does the YASR plugin allow you to insert a review box into your post, it also communicates your rating to the search engines, which can be displayed in the SERPs alongside your name and the product/service you're reviewing.
The second option allows you to collect ratings from your users, which it then collates to give an average user rating. This too can be displayed in your post, and also in your rich snippets. This is particularly handy for local businesses, who can ask users to review their service, which it can then display in the SERPs. The benefit is obvious: is a user more likely to click on a restaurant rated 5 stars by its diners, or a restaurant with no rating at all? The former, of course. Beyond this, you can also use this plugin to let your users review a specific article, or to cast their opinion on a product or service you've reviewed.
With a number of useful rich snippets plugins out there, adding rich snippets to your search listing is a simple process. If you're looking for a quick and easy solution to increase your traffic figures, taking advantage of rich snippets is a good place to start.

Thank you! You made it easier to understand how these plugins work.
The Premium SEO plugin by AA Team is also great it has many features and supports rich snippets.
I'm use WordPress Social Sharing Optimization (WPSSO) Pro Version gives me control over the information for Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Tumblr and etc. Its integrated well to my WooCommerce site, WordPress SEO Plugins, detect images & videos for your social sharing.
Great article in a very little known category, thanks.
Thanks for the great article Shaun! Do you know if it possible to change your rich snippets? A couple of weeks ago I started to rank nr 2 for a very competitive keyword in Sweden and because of that (well it has to be) I got four rich snippet links to landing pages on my domain.
The thing is that Google choosed the four rich snippet links and even though I believe it's improving my CTR from the serp I think it would improve even more if I was able to choose wich rich snippet links to show.
Hi Arim, you can actually choose to remove (demote) the sitelinks if you don't like them via Google Webmasters.
YASR is seems excellent and meet with our requirement.
Thanks for sharing this informative stuff.
Can I use All in One Schema.org Rich Snippets and YARS at the same time without making a conflict with the code ?
Very helpfull ! Thank's for share.
I find it extremely hard to find information in the web conserning the editing of pre-existing structured data. Due to the fact that my copany's website is related to health and beauty (organization -> local business I suppose) created with WordPress, I tried the Raven plugin as instructed above, followed the steps above but in the end what I typed was seen online on the website.
It's really sad that almost all rich edit (microdata) plugin designers don't have a clue how rich snippets should be used. Most of them add horrible formatted text (the attribute values) straight into your well designed text. None of them seems to realize that the idea is to add invisible markup to existing text, explaining to search engines ONLY what the text is about.
Thank you for helping to take the guess work (and trial and error) of finding the right plug-in. I really wish there was an all-inclusive plug-in (posts and pages, with all schema types) that had an easy to use interface. Here's to hoping!
Agreed..I've tried a few and they all do that. They don't seem to understand it's semantic language (for search engines not users) and one plugin's help page linked to a bit on a Google Webmaster guide page which they (apparently) are misunderstanding. Basically what the rule says is "don't markup content and hide it (with css rules etc.) in other words if (the event or item or whatever)is not part of your text don't put there to markup only to hide it from users-basically the same idea as the old "putting white text on a white background to "keyword-stuff". It does not mean your marked up text has to be summarized or presented to the user that way.
If you use the "data highlighter" in Google Webmaster Tools to mark up text it makes no mention of these "summary boxes" nor does it create them when you click "generate HTML" when you use the data highlighter tool. Pretty sure if those "boxes" were necessary then the tools in GWT would create them. Looks like I'll just have to wait til the posts get indexed and then use the highlighter in GWT.
If we switch our WordPress website to SSL or HTTPS do we get the star ratings intact in Google SERP ?
SSL/HTTPS shouldn't affect your star ratings if they're already showing. Google uses these guidelines (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/reviews) to determine if your site is eligible for ratings/reviews, so as long as you are following those rules and have your rich snippets setup correctly you should still be a good candidate for your ratings to be displayed.
I installed All in one Seo Rich Snippets and configured for few pages. But the schema is showing in the pages itself.. Why it's happening..?
This could happen if there is some broken HTML on the site or a bug in the plugin. Did you try reaching out to the plugin developer? You may have to share the URL with them so they can actually see what's going on though to offer help.
I've been wondering how to do the rich snippets for so long. I've seen it mentioned in Google but couldn't understand how to do the codes and where to place them. I'm definitely adding one of these to the site. Thanks for the post.

BDM 102 is not your ordinary fun run.
The result will show the unprepared.
Had a meeting with JC Igos, the runner I will be supporting for this event. I will be his navigator.
This is the 2nd time at the same venue. The 1st time was a meeting for N2N 55K, where he end up as the champion.
Partly, we discussed the crucial parts of the route where a runner might get lost.
I am attaching here a map I made. It's the most accurate so far.
Study and memorize the route.
I was already at Ternate at past 5am. It was too cold.
I have had a Shawarma at Coastal Mall before taking the bus to Tanza.
I had my coffee at Jollibee Tanza before proceeding to Ternate.
Before 6am, I ate a Pork Asado and Rice before the sun rise.
By the time light comes, and people start coming, I am already sleepy. lol.
The group at the Monolith…me with arms spread out.
I lead the group climbing up. Gave a lot of instructions climbing up the Monolith and going down. Again, a lot of instructions going down the 2nd Peak for the new ones – strangers included.
Thanks for the Chicken Adobo! And the Tocino with Rice.
I ran out of water but I wont complain.
The heat is hot enough but not so hot.
Thanks to Epoy and his group for this hike. It's one for the books!
I have prepared and later found out that I have not done enough.
I have completed the 1st Leg – Manila to Dau 90 kms on time. Thanks to a Leg 1 Finisher's Shirt!
After starting for the 2nd Leg Dau to Urdaneta, I had to stop at Gerona, Tarlac due to a very stiff quads. I started at a 5K per hour walk – hoping to feel better and start running before sunrise. I was able to but for a very short while only. Entering Tarlac City, I did my best and tried – but I can't maintain a good 5K per hour. It was a struggle. It is already too hot and I am unsupported. I had to call the shot right there and then…while I can still walk to get a ride.
Thank you for your support. Thank you for believing in me, in what I am capable to do.
REQUIRED: a minimum average pace of 10 minutes 40 seconds per kilometer on the 1st & 2nd day.
Runners who will NOT be able to finish each leg within the prescribed cut-off time will be declared DNF. There will be Intermediary CHECKPOINTS along the way where the RD would declare a runner as a DNF if he/she could not pass the said point. These Checkpoints are unannounced places.
Finishers will be awarded with Finisher's Medal, Finisher's T-Shirt, and Certificate.
Podium finishers for the Men's & Ladies will receive Trophies.
Finishers of EACH LEG will receive a Finisher's T-Shirt.
Runners will run along the old MacArthur Highway all the way to the Finish Line. From the Starting Line, runners could take their selected route up to Monumento/Balintawak Circle/Statue in order to proceed to MacArthur Highway. Runners must be able to reach the Monumento Area in 2 Hours. From Pangasinan, the route to Baguio City will be the traditional Kennon Road.
The race will start at 1:00 AM of Friday, February 7, 2014 at Kilometer #0 at the Luneta Park. Assembly Time starts at 11:00 PM of Thursday, February 6, 2014 for those who have yet to be processed and for the inspection of required running kits for every runner. Runners are advised to be at the Starting Area at least One Hour before Gun Start.
I AM UNSUPPORTED: while there are a few number of people who believed in what I am capable of – I just can't let them down. At least I will have to give it my best – trying.
This event is a 3-day stage, solo running event covering a distance of 250 kilometers from Kilometer Post #0 in Luneta Park, Manila to Kilometer Post #250 at the Rizal Park in Baguio City (near Burnham Park).
Beat the cut-off for each day until the last day . . .
Stay as warm as I can during the cold mornight.
Stay as cool as I can during the hot day.
Survive with the little I have.
Put all and everything in the hands of God.

Children's Makeup Pulled From Stores After FDA Confirms Asbestos Contamination
July 28, 2019 | Throneberry Law Group
A popular young YouTube star and celebrity babysitter recently had her children's-makeup line pulled from store shelves after testing by the Food and Drug Administration confirmed the products are contaminated with cancer-causing asbestos fibers. The FDA took to Twitter to announce, "Today, the FDA is releasing new results from its continued testing of cosmetic products for asbestos & is warning consumers to not use 2 additional products that have tested positive for asbestos & have been recalled."
The FDA urged parents to be on the lookout for the makeup kits, which contain candy colored eyeshadow palette, two lip glosses, and nail polish, and has been on sale since March 2018 at Claire's retail stores. The move comes just a few months after Claire's was forced to recall other makeup products after media investigations found those makeup lines also contained asbestos and other toxic substances.
Asbestos is a deadly cancer-causing mineral once used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and military applications because of its heat-resistant properties and ability to be molded into almost any shape to fit the job. While the federal government has heavily regulated asbestos since the 1980s to the point that is still used, thousands of people suffer the after-effects of asbestos exposure every year.

Federal Government Launches Criminal Probe into Johnson & Johnson Talcum Powder Products
Reports recently surfaced that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether or not pharmaceutical and cosmetics giant Johnson & Johnson new about the risks its talc-based products posed to consumers but chose not to warn the public. The criminal probe comes as Johnson & Johnson faces thousands of lawsuits in civil courts across the country brought by plaintiffs who claim they developed various forms of cancer, including mesothelioma, from using the company's talcum powder products.
A federal grand jury in Washington state is currently examining internal company documents related to what Johnson & Johnson knew about the presence of asbestos fibers or other carcinogens in its talcum powder products like Baby Powder and Shower to Shower. While talcum powder products make up only a small part of the company's sales, they nonetheless have been a core brand for Johnson & Johnson for over a century.
Johnson & Johnson had disclosed to shareholders in February that the company received subpoenas from the Justice Department but those documents did not mention a grand jury had been convened nor whether the matter was of a criminal or civil nature. In response to the developments, Johnson & Johnson executives released a statement saying, "We have been fully cooperating with the previously disclosed DOJ investigation and will continue to do so. Johnson's Baby Powder does not contain asbestos or cause cancer, as supported by decades of independent clinical evidence."
Proposed Pennsylvania Law Would Extend Deadline for Filing Mesothelioma Workers' Compensation Claims
A proposed piece of legislation recently introduced in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives purports to give relief to mesothelioma cancer victims who developed their disease through the course of their employment. The proposed law, House Bill 1234, would amend The Pennsylvania Occupational Disease Act (Act) to allow mesothelioma cancer victims to file for workers' compensation claim. The result, however, would arguably preclude mesothelioma victims common law claims against his employer making workers' compensation the "exclusive remedy" barring the victims day in court.
As the law currently stands in the state of Pennsylvania, workers who develop an occupational disease as a result of their employment must do so within 300 weeks of their last workplace exposure or date of employment. Those who become aware of or receive their occupational disease diagnosis outside the 300-week statute of limitations are generally barred from receiving workers' compensation benefits. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Tooey v. AK Steel Corp., 623 Pa. 60 (2013) recognized that mesothelioma victims would have no remedy under the Act and held that the exclusivity provision does not preclude a plaintiff's common law claims.
Unfortunately for those exposed to some carcinogens, their life-changing diagnosis is not received until many years after their last exposure due to the latency period associated with their condition. This is especially true for those who suffer from mesothelioma, a rare and deadly form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers in once common, everyday industrial and military applications.
Louisiana Federal Court Allows Mesothelioma Cancer Lawsuit to Continue Against Ford Motor Company
July 7, 2019 | Throneberry Law Group
A Louisiana federal judge recently denied a motion by the Ford Motor Co. which sought to throw out the asbestos cancer lawsuit, brought on behalf of the now deceased victim, alleging the automaker and others are responsible for the plaintiff's injuries. While the same judge did rule partly in favor of Ford in limiting some of the claims brought against the company, the other asbestos-related claims may proceed against Ford and other named defendants.
According to the mesothelioma cancer lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, the victim developed peritoneal mesothelioma during his work as a mechanic and generator service technician. After filing his asbestos cancer lawsuit in a Louisiana state court in 2017, the case was removed to federal court the following year. Sadly, the victim passed away from his asbestos related cancer in 2018, leaving his surviving family to continue to action under a wrongful death claim.
In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs made claims against the Ford Motor Co. under Louisiana's general negligence statute, employer liability statute, premises liability as owners of the premises where the victim worked, and product liability laws for manufacturing the asbestos laden products. In seeking to skirt liability, Ford claimed the plaintiffs were barred from recovering for any damages under the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Act (LWCA) because the alleged injuries took place during the course of the victim's employment.

An infant's vision can change dramatically in the first five months. Every few weeks, your child's vision will change making it easier for her to interact with the world. In other words, your child isn't born being able to fully see what we see. Let's take a closer look at how vision develops after birth.
It's impossible to determine if infants can distinguish between colors. While a child may be attracted to the contrasting colors, they may not be able to distinguish different colors. At two to six weeks, the baby can tell the difference between highly contrasting colors, such as black and white.
Before the age of two months, it is possible for babies to focus on objects, but they aren't able to do so really well. This is due to the fact that several muscles must work together in or to focus on objects that are close or far away. At the age of two to three months, the child's eye muscles will learn how to complete this task. It's also around this time that object/facial recognition comes into play. At birth, a child will be able to see facial features at up to 12 inches away. However, the child will look at the contrasting borders of the face, such as the hairline. At two to three months of age, the child will begin to notice facial features, such as the nose and mouth. It isn't until three to five months of age that the child will be able to distinguish between the face of its mother and a stranger.
Babies are not born with the ability to determine how close or far an object is. It isn't until three to five months of age that the child's eye muscles develop in a way that they can determine depth perception. At three months of age a child will also begin to start following slow moving objects, but the tracking will not be smooth. It isn't until around the age of four months that babies will be able to smoothly follow slow moving objects and begin to reach for them.
A child's vision can change dramatically in the first five months. It's important that parents know what to look for so they can help determine if the child's vision is developing properly. If you notice that your child's eyesight doesn't seem to be advancing as it should, you need to take your baby to the pediatrician for further diagnosis.
About the Author: Hue Apt has worn eye glasses since the age of 5 and has always been fascinated by the human eye and overall developments in vision.
