Incredible as it may seem, the creator of the heavens and the earth is ready and willing to have a personal relationship with you and me. The biggest challenge to that for any of us, is usually for to us to be willing to open our heart to that concept in the first place. Once we get beyond that, there is a second challenge. We need to fully understand how to have and develop a growing relationship with God. In the first book of New Testament, Matthew chapter 13, verses 3-23, Jesus tells an incredible story about how you and I can really open up our heart to God. Jesus' story is often referred to as a parable. Like Jesus often did, I want to begin by sharing with you a parallel story.
In 1868 a man by the name of Orlando McClean Scott received his release of military duty from the civil war. Orlando had decided he wanted to start a business. Since Orlando's dad was a farmer, Orlando wanted to do something that he perceived as his father's greatest challenge. How does one develop a field to grow crops in that is not full of dirty old weeds? You see in those days … there wasn't really a special system for keeping weeds and seeds totally separated. So, often as you planted seed you were actually planting weeds at the same time! Orlando set out and over the next four years he developed a process that resulted in producing seed for sale that was 99.1% weed free. Over the next 100 years … with Orlando's sons and family joining the effort, the company grew and continued to develop seeds for many things. One of those things was good old lawn-grass.
During this approximately same period of time … another man in another area, by the name of Otto Stern, began developing fertilizer. By the late 1940s Otto had finally managed to develop a tiny inexpensive water-soluble fertilizer. This extra boost fertilizer helped get "plant-starts" well established, thereby assuring customers' gardening success. The product became known as "Miracle Grow!" Initially it was used for roses and tomatoes. Well the stuff really worked. In fact … sales grew from $165,000 in 1960, to $55 million in 1980. In 1995 … the Scott Company bought out Miracle Grow for just over 195 million dollars. Today … the company … SCOTTS MIRACLE GROW (founded by Orlando Scott) has a research campus which includes four greenhouses, thirteen laboratories, a library, and over one hundred acres of experimental grasses.
NOW … I told you all of that to tell you this. Around two thousand years ago, God sent His Son into the world to help the human race with a similar kind of problem. You see, it seems that we as humans have weed problems too! We too have weeds in our lives. Things that we struggle with that just seem to come up from out of nowhere. These weeds are things that we wish we could just get rid of, but like Orlando's father's field they just seem to grow in the middle of even the good things we try to do. The worst part about these weeds, is that they often prevent us from having a good relationship with God. I want to share with you today how God has provided a way to help us with our weed problem. In fact, in Matthew 13:3-23, Jesus describes God's ability to help us with our weeds and give us spiritual miracle grow!
Jesus' story talks about: BAD SOIL, GOOD SOIL, AND WEEDS. As Jesus alludes to this weed problem, He applies it directly to our personal lives. Jesus explains that like planting seeds properly in good soil, God wants to plant the seed of His love for us in our hearts. Let's read the first part of the story exactly how Jesus portrays it.
We must first understand that in Jesus' story, He is using parallel word pictures to teach us a great truth. Jesus' word pictures tell us that just like healthy plants need good weed-free soil in order to grow, it works the same way with us developing our relationship with God. There are four lessons we can glean from this story that Jesus shared. Four things that tell us how to overcome the challenge of ridding ourselves of the weeds (undesirable things in our lives, things that interfere with our relationship with God).
The first type of soil Jesus describes in this parable can be called 'the path'. Paths are places where the soil is packed down hard because of all the people walking on them. There are paths through and around farmers fields even today. One can easily imagine that at planting time, it is inevitable that some of the seed being scattered will fall upon these paths. The thing is, most all of us have paths in our lives too. Places where we have been walking a certain way for a long time. Jesus describes here … how that, like these paths, sometimes people's hearts are so hard that the truth of God's love for us cannot penetrate their lives.
YOU SEE … Just as a seed cannot grow unless it penetrates the ground, the seed of God's word cannot grow unless it can penetrate our heart. Farmers know that they can remedy this problem in their fields by plowing them. The plow breaks up the hard ground so that when the farmer plants the seeds they will be able to penetrate the soil.
Friends … just like those farmers, we may very well need to plow the soil of our hearts so that God's word can enter in. So how do we, so to speak, plow our hearts (or prepare our hearts) in order to receive from God. Well, I have discovered that for most of us the best time to hear from God is by going to a good Bible believing church on Sunday morning. But even before going to church, let me share several practical things that you and I can do to prepare ourself for church.
First … get a good nights sleep. You're not going to learn anything if you are too tired to wake up, stay awake, and pay attention. Saturday night is not the best night to stay up late watching movies or playing games or anything else. It is a night to get to bed early so that you can come to church well rested so that you can give God your best. If you haven't been getting anything out of church lately, maybe its because you haven't been getting to bed on time.
Second … ask God to open your heart and give you understanding. We need to get to bed early on Saturday night so that we can get up early on Sunday morning and spend time with God before coming to church. We need to spend time asking God to help us to understand His word so that we will know how to apply it to our lives.
Third … we need to learn how God's word applies to our life and not the person sitting next to you. See … anytime you walk away from a service and think, "That was great. I hope so and so was listening because they really needed that." Anytime you walk away from a service thinking something like that, we have missed the entire point. The point of going to church is to hear from God personally. If you're taking a look at your life today and you're realizing that you haven't been growing spiritually, maybe it's because you have been hardening your heart to what God has been trying to teach you. Just like the farmer and the path … God will sow seeds, but your heart has to be open to receive them.
BY THE WAY … As you can well imagine, plowing is not always a pleasant experience.
SOMETIMES … The plowing of God's word, it might hurt a little, but the results are well worth it.
The next type of soil that Jesus speaks of is shallow soil. He is not talking about soil that has rocks in it, but of a shallow layer of soil on top of solid rock. Because of the underlying rock … the plant is unable to put down deep roots.
We all probably have a basic understanding of plant life. Plants were basically designed by God to take in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. We as human beings breathe and survive on that oxygen. The sun is a very important part of that process. The sun is absolutely necessary for a plants to grow. Without the sunlight the process of photosynthesis cannot take place and the plant will die.
Jesus tells us that when the sun comes out it can be difficult on a plant, it can even kill the plant, that is in shallow soil. The sun is a depiction of being tested or tried by some circumstance. It is important to understand that the real reason the plant dies is not because of the trial of the scorching sun, but because it doesn't have deep enough roots to deal with the trial. So what proves to be a devastating trial to the plant with shallow roots actually proves to be a life giving source to the plant with deep roots. We need to put down roots so that we can persevere in the face of difficulties.
I once read the story of a ten year old boy who decided to study judo. Despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident, the boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had only taught him one move. "Teacher," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?" But the teacher replied … "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged … the boy used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.
THINK ABOUT THAT … The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength. Because his roots went down deep as he mastered that one technique. The reason that sometimes people wilt when they face the scorching heat of trials and tribulations is that they have shallow root systems. They have failed to "go on to maturity" We have to ask ourself the question, Is our relationship with God shallow or deep? Are the troubles of life knocking you out or making you stronger? Let me share with you a secret: You cannot go too deep. No matter how much you have grown in the faith you still have more growing to do. There is no such thing as having arrived spiritually.
Let me share with you a few practical ways to put your roots down deep.
First …go to church every Sunday. The Bible actually commands us to not skip church. "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing …" (Heb. 10:25) God knows that we can't grow alone. We need each others love, encouragement, and support. We need to follow in the footsteps of more mature believers as they follow Christ. We need to experience corporate worship and hear the God's word proclaimed.
Second …read the Bible and pray every single day. God is a person and you can't grow in a relationship to a person without spending quality time with that person. Prayer and Bible study is having a conversation with God. God speaks to you through the Bible and you speak to Him through prayer. We must communicate with God every single day. And by the way, don't forget to do what God tells you to do. There is no quicker way to stunt your spiritual growth than through a lack of obedience. Remember, disobedience isn't only doing something wrong; it is also not doing what you know you are supposed to do. If you have not been growing spiritually and God's word has not been producing fruit in your life. Then you need to plow the soil and put down roots. But there is also one more thing you need to do.
The third type of soil that Jesus spoke of was thorny or weedy soil. It can be very frustrating how that thorns and weeds grow up so quickly in a garden. I'm sure that we all understand that weeds in a garden consume the water and nutrients that should be being used for the nourishment of the plants. And so the plant becomes weak or might even die. These thorns in Jesus' story represent the cares of life which choke the Word of God out of the lives of many people.
First … start tithing. If God doesn't have your pocketbook, He doesn't have your heart either. If you're not giving God the first part of your income, you're only fooling yourself if you think you're giving Him first place in your life. Tithing is the Biblical command to give God the first ten percent of your income. That means before you pay Uncle Sam and before you pay the bills, you give ten percent to God and He promises that the remaining 90% will be sufficient to meet your needs. Maybe not your greeds … but your needs.
Second … start start serving others. Get involved in a ministry. Get your focus off of your needs and start focusing on the needs of others for a change. It will totally revolutionize your life to stop worrying about yourself and start caring for others.
Disclaimer: please do not do this to anyone!
Jesus said something similar in Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." If you truly want to live a spiritually productive life, then plow the soil and prepare your heart to receive God's word, put down roots and persevere through the trials of life, and pull the weeds of whatever stands between you and full commitment to God. If you do these things then you will have good soil. The seed of God's word will produce a bountiful harvest in your life. Jesus said that the harvest would yield "thirty, sixty, or a hundred, times what was sown." We need to understand that at that time a sevenfold harvest was considered to be a good harvest. So a harvest of even thirtyfold would have been miraculous miracle growth! Not to mention sixty, or a hundredfold.
MIRACLE GROW !!! When you make your life match God's model the results are miraculous.

Visit the Rodin Museum with a single ticket that gives access to the permanent collections shown in the Hôtel Biron, as well as the Sculpture Garden and the current temporary exhibition. The new museum layout is designed to focus on the journey of Rodin's work. Rather than presenting a "new Rodin," the museum aims to show the evolution of the artist's technique and style. You will see many pieces that have never been shown before in an exhibit, as well as his more famous works for a fully comprehensive view of Rodin's pieces. The aim of the museum is to offer the visitor an immersive experience in the world of his sculpture, and of sculpture in general. The layout of each floor of the new museum is designed as a loop, and is accessible to people with reduced mobility. After seeing the works inside, head out to the sculpture garden. Stretching over three hectares, the grounds are divided into a rose garden and a large ornamental garden. There is also a terrace and a relaxation area for a moment of quiet contemplation.
Entrance ticket to the museum, sculpture gardens and temporary exhibition
Closest metro station is Varenne (line 13) or Invalides (lines 13 and 8).
Access to the Musée Rodin is free every first Sunday of the month between October and March.
The museum is open every day except Monday. The museum, the garden, the shop, and the café are open from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM (cash registers close at 5:30 PM, rooms close at 6:15 PM)
Entrance ticket to the museum, sculpture gardens and temporary exhibition are included in the ticket price
The Guide Your Guide interface for a visit to the Musée d'Orsay indicated that teenagers entered only with their identity card, but it was necessary to scan the MO site and then book teenage tickets on their site. All of this contradicted the information online. In addition, no help from the reception staff who turned us away without providing any help. Nevertheless, visits to the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée Rodin are great outings?
Wonderful visit. A huge amount to take in. What would be a very useful addition would be an audio guide. We first encountered audio guides many years ago [at the Plantin Moretus museum in Antwerp] and they really do add another dimension to a museum tour. For an additional charge, we would be more than happy to participate.

very nice place whether indoors or outdoors, too bad the price is lower at reception than on the internet ...

An interview with Ricardo Luna, President of the Mexican Society of Obesity (SMO)
NewsAn interview with Ricardo Luna, President of the Mexican Society of Obesity (SMO)
We talked to Dr. Ricardo Luna, president of the Mexican Society of Obesity (SMO) to learn more about their activities over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. World Obesity congratulates the SMO for hosting 4 face-to-face and 7 virtual academic activities for health care professionals (HCPs), 11 webinars and 2 press conferences, reaching a total of 12,086 attendees.
"2020 was a year of great changes and challenges for SMO, but also for health care professionals, patients, and the media in Mexico. The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us a lot, and we hope to continue growing as a society, and in 2021 we will continue moving forward hand in hand with the World Obesity Federation to advance the science of the prevention and treatment of obesity and its comorbidities."
Please tell us about SMO's academic activities in 2020.
Last year we hosted a variety of activities in Mexico, full of learning and growth. We started the year with our academic activities that were conducted face to face, with a talk on the Neuroscience of overweight and obesity and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The learning objective of the event was to increase understanding of obesity as a neuroendocrine disease. This event was held at the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon.
How did you celebrate World Obesity Day?
On 4th March 2020, World Obesity Day (WOD), SMO organized a press conference inviting journalists across Mexico. We increased recognition of the annual campaign itself and gave insights on how the media should address the issue of obesity in a more appropriate way when choosing imagery and language. We also urged journalists to use people-first language to avoid the stigma towards people living with this chronic, relapsing disease.
Following this press conference, we held face-to-face events for health care professionals in various cities across Mexico, on the issue of weight bias and its relationship with obesity and the roots of obesity.
How did World Obesity Day differ in 2021?
Unlike 2020, in 2021 all academic activities have been virtual and on the occasion of the WOD (Everybody needs Every Body), the SMO held a meeting for health professionals called "Learning Route WOD-Mexico" which was accredited by the Strategic Centre for Obesity Professional Education (SCOPE).
The event was awarded 4.0 SCOPE points that count towards SCOPE Certification. In this meeting we were joined by Dr. John Wilding, Dr. Donna Ryan, Dr. Johana Ralston, Dr. Arya Sharma, Dr. Ximena Ramos, Dr. Simón Barquera, Dr. Olivia Barata Cavalcanti, Dr. Ada Cuevas among other international speakers. Topics covered included 'obesity and Covid-19: the perfect inflammatory storm', 'Updates in the pharmacological treatment of obesity', 'Nutrition and obesity: the connection for a better lifestyle', and a session addressing the stigma surrounding obesity.
In addition to this we organized a virtual race where we had 163 runners and conducted a discussion for patients with obesity that was broadcast via Facebook live.
How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact your work at SMO?
On 15th March 2020, the Mexican government ordered that the Mexican population maintain social distancing in their activities, due to the surge in cases of severe disease caused by COVID-19. This was in part due to the number of at-risk populations, including people living with obesity and comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the region.
Concerned about this situation, SMO conducted a series of webinars for health care professionals. We shared emerging evidence on SARS-Cov 2 infection and how obesity complicates severe COVID-19 disease.
In addition to the webinars, the SMO board of directors reached an agreement with the UANL School of Medicine, one of the most prestigious medical schools in Mexico and the world, to host our academic sessions through their school's virtual platform. Thanks to this agreement, from 14th May 2020, the SMO has continued its academic activities on this university platform.
Some of the lecture's cover:
Binge eating disorder during lockdown,
Treatment guidelines for patients living with diabetes.
Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism for patients with obesity,
Polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity
Obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidities in clinical practice
The academic sessions have curricular value points for certification and recertification purposes by the councils of medical specialties, general medicine, and other health professional associations.
About Ricardo Luna
Dr. Ricardo Luna is a consultant obesity physician and director at the Institute of Specialised Nutrition in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. He is president of the Central American and Caribbean Federation of Obesity and Metabolism, president of the Mexican Society of Obesity, and member of the World Obesity´s Clinical Care Committee.

What sets WJS apart from other event photographers?
One major difference is that WJS is not just one photographer. We are a collective of professional photographers, vetted for reliability and artistic excellence – but that's not all. Along with our outstanding group of talented professional photographers, you get our focused customer support before and after your event. We also offer any other services you may need, such as Video, Montages, Albums, Enlargements for your Home and Photo Stations with onsite printing. We're your one-stop-shop for complete photographic services.
Where do you find your photographers?
We've earned enough respect in the photography community to attract the best and brightest talent. We personally research, interview and 'road-test' every photographer to ensure we provide our clients with the highest and most consistent standard of photographic artistry and skill.
We prefer checks as form of payment, keeping in line with keeping our costs to our clients as low and competitive as possible. We do take all major credit cards-but additional fees apply.
Can I meet the photographer I'm considering before booking?
Absolutely. We will arrange a meeting at our offices or a convenient location for you. If you have booked a Pre Party shoot or engagement shoot, that is a great time to meet your Photographer.
How does your photographer know what to shoot?
We have you provide us with an Attendance Sheet and Special Request form, which specifies the people, locations and/or special shots we know that you want. Your Shot List can be as specific or general as you (or your clients) desire – or you can do without it entirely. Onsite, our photographers will consult with you and/or your designated event coordinator to ensure we're getting the shots you want. Our Photographers are all full time Photographers who are experts at covering social functions. But even if they work independently, you can trust our photographers' experience and training to get the shots even you didn't anticipate.
How many photos can you shoot in an hour?
On average, we shoot about 75 to 100 unique images in an hour. We usually edit from this – weeding out duplicates and shots where the flash didn't go off or someone's eyes are closed, for example – so all the final photos you receive are usable images.
What happens if my photographer gets sick or has some other emergency on the day of my event?
We are happy to say that in all the years we've been photographing events, this has happened only once (A death in the family). However, we are aware that this possibility always exists and are ready to handle the situation if it arises. All of our photographers have back-ups, other photographers with similar styles we know and trust, who will jump in and take over if an emergency arises. Rest assured, we will always have another photographer for you if that happens — one more advantage of using Wendy J Studios.
My temple doesn't allow photos during services. How do you handle that?
This is a common situation and there are several ways to handle it. Often, the temple will allow photography from an alcove or from other designated areas. Using a long lens, our photographer can still capture a lot of the action from afar. Most temples allow photography on specific week days, so Mitzvah portraits often will be taken with the family a week or so before the Mitzvah service date. We're happy to work with you and the temple to figure out a solution that works for everyone.
How do I get my images after an event?
Within 2-3 weeks of your event, your images will be ready. We can provide you with a High Resolution CD or a USB Flash Drive of your edited images. We also offer the option to share them with you via dropbox for immediate download. They are not watermarked..you will own the rights to your images.
Can you print photos onsite?
Absolutely! We offer Portrait stations with backdrops and can even add a logo, event date or message to the final prints. We print 4×6" or 5×7" photos in seconds, individually or in quantity. Let us know what you need, we're happy to accommodate you.
How many prints can you make onsite?
We usually average about 50 to 75 printed photos per hour, per technician, when printing onsite.
Do you provide frames for the photos?
We can provide photo folders with just a day or two advanced notice. Otherwise the photos will be delivered to your guests in plastic photo sleeves. You're also welcome to provide your own folders or frames.
How are portraits usually done – in advance or on location?
Is a make-up artist included?
A make-up artist is not included with your portrait session. But we highly recommend using a make-up artist who specializes in portrait photography. We can recommend one who has this area of expertise and will come to your location.
Will you retouch my portraits?
Your images are edited for color, contrast and exposure before delivery. We are happy to provide further retouching on selected portraits — or on any photo. This step is not done until specific shots are selected for prints or albums, but all the photos in your web gallery are color-corrected.
When do I need to decide if I'm doing an album for my event?
You can decide if you want an album anytime. We do offer an discount for including the album with your initial order. But if you're not sure about an album, wait until after the event to decide. Like most of our clients, you probably will realize that an album is the best way to view and enjoy your photos on a regular basis. After all, photos don't belong on a hard drive — they belong in your home where they can be seen anytime.
How do I select the photos I want for an album? Will you help me?
We are happy to help you select the right photos for your album. We are here for you every step of the way, however your input is crucial, because only you know which images resonate most. Our Album designer can guide you, offer suggestions and provide her design expertise to create a gorgeous album, one that will be become a treasured keepsake for years to come.
Can you help me with an album even if you didn't take the photos?
Yes, we often do this and it's so gratifying to take images that have been languishing on a CD or computer and bring them to life in a beautiful album. We want you to enjoy the photos you have, whether we took them or not.
Yes, our team includes experienced videographers.-just like our photographers. We offer one and two camera options (2 camera offers a more cinematic experience) as well as Video Montages and Teasers that can be shared on Social Media.
This is a totally subjective question, because everyone has their own personal feelings about video. Some people love the movement and "being there" feeling that video affords… it also captures certain moments that just cannot be captured Photographically-such as Grandparents wishing you love and happiness, or a funny unexpected moment at a ceremony or a hilarious speech. Others dislike the additional lights required and feel that video is an intrusion. No one is wrong. If Videography isn't important to you, then put those dollars towards something else — like additional photography! If you like video and want to have that living keepsake, we would love to provide it for you.

Microsoft's web browser Internet Explorer will be closed next year, 5 percent of people don't even use it
Microsoft has finally announced the date of closing its web browser Internet Explorer. According to the company, after 15 June 2022, its web browser will be closed. The company has taken this decision with the aim of promoting the use of its other web browser Microsoft Edge. However, this does not mean that users will not be able to use Internet Explorer. By closing, the company means that it will not release any technical support and updates for this from next year.
Microsoft Edge program manager Sean Lindersay released a statement saying, "We declare that Microsoft Edge will be the future of Internet Explorer in our operating system Windows 10. Internet Explorer 11 will be shut down on June 15, 2022 And after that, users will not get any kind of technical support and updates from the company for it. "
Internet Explorer is shutting down after 27 years for this reason
Microsoft released its web browser Internet Explorer on 16 August 1995. But due to less usage by users, now the company is going to close it after 27 years. Explain that, Internet Explorer is already installed in all laptops and desktops using the operating system Windows. However, only five per cent of the people use it. One of the main reasons for its low usage is the popularity of other web browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox among users.
Keeping this competition in mind, the company announced its new web browser Microsoft Edge some time ago. A preview of this has been released in January this year. This new web browser from Microsoft supports all Windows and MacOs. The company has made big claims regarding its speed and performance. Also, inbuilt privacy and security will be available in it.

Concerns Over Excess Roadside Salt
By Stephanie Kuski • Jan 7, 2020
Sand and salt storage at the Oneida County Highway Department.

In Wisconsin, where there is snow on the roads there is often salt.
But a major concern for drivers is the potential damage salt can do to vehicles.
Vilas County resident Teresa Schmidt submitted a Curious North question voicing her concerns.
"What's going on with the brine on the roads?" Schmidt asked. "Is it really more of a problem than the salt they used to use? Is it saving money for our counties at the expense of all of our residents having to buy new vehicles too soon? What's going on there?"
Schmidt's concern is one many of us face during the grueling winter season, and unfortunately, her story is one we are all too familiar with in this neck of the woods.
"I bought my minivan, who we named Libby, about 10 years ago now. I loved that minivan. She and I went everywhere together, we would go all around the Northwoods," Schmidt said. "We took Libby in just for a checkup and some new brakes before we handed her off to our college student. Our mechanic called not long after I dropped her off and said, 'I'm sorry, we can't put new brakes on your car, there's almost no frame left. Your frame has completely rusted away.'"
Schmidt has many fond memories taking her retired minivan Libby on weekend expeditions.

As is the case with too many vehicles that drive on the salty Wisconsin highways, Libby met her end much too soon. But why?
"Everything was in great mechanical condition, except for the frame, which just basically rusted away," Schmidt said. "So I asked my mechanic, 'what happened?' He said that since they started using brine on roads in Wisconsin, we've seen a lot more of this—vehicles that otherwise should have lasted a long time are just getting so much rust that they cannot be saved."
Although salt poses potential long term problems for vehicles and the environment, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) is doing everything they can to minimize the negative effects and capitalize on the benefits of road salt application.
Oneida County Highway Commissioner Bruce Stefonik said a considerable change in recent years is the shift from rock salt to salt brine.
"The brine machine basically consists of a large tank where water and salt are mixed," Stefonik said. "When we just disperse rock salt on the highway that already has snow and ice on it, it takes (depending on temperature) 45 minutes to an hour to create a salt brine. We speed up that process by 45 minutes to an hour because we put a brine solution on the ice and/or snow and it starts taking effect immediately."
Salt brine applied as a liquid is much more effective than rock salt, and they're using less salt when creating a brine, Stefonik said.
Stefonik and his crew have several routes in which they use rock salt, but now S Highway 17 is serving as the pilot program as a brine-only route. In this way, Stefonik can compare the effectiveness of the rock salt versus brine-only routes.
"We used 10.5 tons of salt per storm on all the rock salt beats. On the brine beats, we used 4.65 tons," Stefonik said. "On the brine routes, we're using over half as much salt."
The brine machine at the Oneida County highway Department creates a salt and water mixture to combat slippery weather conditions.
This is good news for the environment, but not necessarily your vehicle.
"I will admit, some of that will stick to the bottom of your vehicles," Stefonik said. "But in the whole scheme of things, we use very, very little. We do not use any on county roads, it's only for the state highways."
But vehicle owners and drivers alike might be asking themselves, 'What can I do to protect my car from all that pesky salt?'
Brian Shimkus, owner of Shimkus Auto Body in Rhinelander, said that a little maintenance can go a long way.
"You can tell a big difference between people who wash and wax their car and people who don't do any cleaning," Shimkus said.
He said the best thing you can do to protect your vehicle from road salt is to wash and wax it often.
"I would say it would be a good idea to do it maybe at least once a week if possible, or at least once a month for sure, and get a coat of wax on at least once a month," Shimkus said.
Once that rust starts forming, Shimkus said, it's quite difficult to do anything about it, other than replace the parts that are rusted, which can get pricey. The best alternative is to do your best to keep your vehicle clean from salt at all times.
"The problem is if people wait too long, it gets past the point of being able to fix it," Shimkus said. "You'll have to start replacing panels, and that's when it gets very expensive."
While salt brine applied in liquid form may be more effective in combating the miserable road conditions after a winter storm, it can corrode the underbelly of your vehicle much faster and more severely than rock salt.
"Unfortunately, it's what we have to deal with in our area, as far as our weather conditions," Shimkus said.
Road salt might be a problem for your vehicle, but it's definitely problematic for the environment, especially nearby water bodies.
When drivers see trucks applying salt and sand to roads, be sure to keep your distance to avoid damage to your vehicle.
Hilary Dugan, assistant professor for the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin, studies the effects of excess salt on water bodies. She shares Schmidt's concerns over the amount of salt applied to our roads.
Millions of tons of salt, nearly a thousand tons per mile, are applied to U.S. roads each winter, Dugan said. That salt can wash into nearby water bodies, with the potential to permanently disturb the biodiversity of Wisconsin lakes.
This is especially problematic for native species which are not able to adapt to the excess salinity, Dugan said. In turn, invasive species are able to prosper and out-compete native species, which has the potential to greatly alter the biodiversity of these lakes.
It takes only one teaspoon of salt to permanently pollute five gallons of water to a level that is toxic to freshwater ecosystems. When we examine the large scale of road salt application in Wisconsin alone, the problem becomes quite clear.
However, using salt brine rather than rock salt alone is a step in the right direction. Although there are inherent environmental consequences to using salt on the roads, salt brine uses less salt and it uses that salt more effectively compared to rock salt.
Schmidt, still grieving her beloved minivan, agreed, but said there is more that can be done.
"I think it's about finding a balance, where we're trying to keep people as safe as possible," Schmidt said. "But also continuing to pay attention to what's happening with new research, or as we use these products longer, can we watch over time what might be changing in our community?"
Although the WDOT is using less salt on the roads, there's still a lot that can be done. Organizations like Be Salt WIse hope we take steps in using less salt in our residential areas, and continue encouraging private companies to stop using so much salt in private parking lots.

Landmark Study Ending on Little Rock
By Natalie Jablonski • Jul 25, 2013
Thirty years of scientific study on a Vilas County lake will come to an end on Monday.
Scientists are removing a barrier that has divided Little Rock Lake in two since 1984. Researchers installed the barrier to conduct a landmark study on the effects of acid rain. Carl Watras is a research scientist with the state Department of Natural Resources. He's been involved with the Little Rock project since the beginning. Watras says at the time there was speculation about the effect of acid rain on lakes, but there was no definitive evidence.

A former Northampton County supervisor is charged in connection with an encounter with two FedEx workers.
A former Northampton County supervisor has a court date in March after he was arrested and charged with brandishing a firearm and abduction.
Granville Hogg, 71, of Cheriton was charged in Northampton last fall with two misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm, after two FedEx employees on Sept. 23 reported they had called 911 because they "were being blocked in a driveway by a man holding a gun," according to a criminal complaint made by Kyle Edward Miller of Chesapeake, one of the employees.
Miller said the road was Secretary Drive and they were making a delivery to an Oyster Cape Road address off Secretary Drive.
"He pulled out in front of us blocking me from exiting or even getting away from him while holding us up from performing a service to the Eastern Shore," the complaint went on to say.
Miller said they produced paperwork and their badges to show why they were there.
"He said he didn't care and wouldn't let us leave," the complaint said.
The second count involves the other employee, Anthony C. Sivels, who in his complaint also said Hogg refused to put the gun away after they showed him their identification.
On Feb. 8, Hogg was arrested on a felony charge of abduction in connection with Miller. He was released on bond the same day.
Hogg filed complaints against both men charging them with trespassing, a misdemeanor.
A hearing is set for March 12 in Northampton County General District Court.
Circuit Judge W. Revell Lewis III appointed Accomack County Commonwealth's Attorney Spencer Morgan to prosecute the case.
Northampton County Commonwealth's Attorney Beverly Leatherbury worked for the Northampton Board of Supervisors as county attorney while Hogg was on the board.
Hogg, who worked as a surveyor, represented District 1. He did not seek election to another term in the 2017 election.

11 Myths and Truths About Veterans Burial Benefits
https://bg.hpou.org/wp-content/uploads/DM_MemorialDay2020_HD1080p.mp4
Veterans have made important sacrifices for our country, and they deserve to be honored and remembered for their service. As a veteran, you and your loved one may qualify for burial benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). However, there are many misconceptions about these benefits, so it's important to understand what they include, who qualifies and how to request them.
Myth: The VA pays for the funeral or cremation expenses of any honorably discharged veteran.
This common misconception simply is not true. Only under certain circumstances, such as when a serviceman or servicewoman is killed in the line of duty, does the U.S. government cover all funeral or cremation costs. There are other cases when certain monetary, recognition and service benefits may be available. They include:
when a veteran die because of a service-related disability.
when a veteran was receiving or was entitled to receive a VA pension or compensation at the time of death.
when a veteran die while receiving care at a VA hospital or a facility under contract with the VA to provide care.
Some benefits do apply to all honorably discharged veterans, and some veterans may be eligible for allowances that will help with funeral and burial costs. However, even under the most generous circumstances, the allowances fall far short of the actual costs of a funeral or cremation, and the family needs to make up the difference. This is why planning and funding final arrangements ahead of time can be very beneficial.
Myth: All a veteran's family has to do is let the VA know that their loved one has passed, and whatever benefits that person is eligible for are automatic.
If only it were that easy. In most cases, the VA will need to see discharge papers (a report called DD 214) to determine eligibility. A lot of times, families don't have these papers or don't know where they are. In that case, a Dignity Memorial® provider can help secure them.
Additionally, a family must request all of the benefits for which their loved one is eligible. (The Dignity Memorial Veterans Planning Guide includes those request forms.)
Claims for allowances for a death not related to service must be filed within two years of the veteran's funeral or cremation. There's no time limit to file for a service-connected funeral, cremation or burial allowance.
Truth: An honorably discharged military veteran who has passed is entitled to space in a veterans cemetery.
Burial benefits include a gravesite in one of the 138 national VA cemeteries or any state veterans cemetery with space available for veterans and their spouses. Benefits for a veteran who chooses to be buried in one of those cemeteries also include a burial liner, grave opening and closing costs, a grave marker or headstone, and perpetual care. These benefits apply to both casket burial and cremation memorialization.
Don't live close to a VA cemetery? A veteran can be transferred to any national cemetery with space at the family's expense. Some state VA cemeteries, however, require the veteran to have been a resident of that state at the time of death or have other rules around eligibility. State veterans cemeteries are run solely by the states, and you'll need to contact the cemetery directly for information.
Check the National Cemetery Administration burial benefits page to determine eligibility requirements for national and private cemetery burial funding. Your Dignity Memorial provider can help you select either a VA national cemetery, a state veterans cemetery, or a private cemetery anywhere in the United States and plan a fitting tribute.
Myth: An honorably discharged military veteran who has passed gets a free casket or urn
This isn't true. Only a serviceman or servicewoman who dies on active duty receives a casket or urn as part of death benefits. In all other cases, a family must purchase a casket or urn.
Truth: An honorably discharged military veteran who has passed is entitled to a free headstone, marker or medallion.
Regardless of where a veteran is buried in the world—in a national VA cemetery, state veterans cemetery or private cemetery—they can request a government headstone, marker or medallion. Upright headstones are available in granite or marble, and flat markers are available in granite, marble or bronze.
Bronze medallions for placement on existing privately purchased headstones or markers come in several sizes. The veteran's family must pay any costs associated with affixing the medallion to the privately purchased headstone or marker. Niche markers for cremation memorials are also available.
Truth: An honorably discharged veteran who has passed is entitled to a United States flag for his or her funeral.
A new U.S. flag is provided at no cost by the Department of Veterans Affairs to each veteran's family. It is generally presented to the next of kin or a designated friend or family member during the military funeral honors ceremony by an active-duty member of the veteran's branch of service. Dignity Memorial can provide a special case for a veteran's government-issued flag or a memento box that will be cherished for generations to come.
Truth: An honorably discharged veteran who has passed can receive military funeral honors.
Servicemen and servicewomen who die on active duty, military retirees, members and former members of the Selected Reserve, and eligible U.S. veterans who were separated under any condition other than dishonorable are eligible for a military funeral honors ceremony. These honors must be requested by a funeral director on behalf of the family and include:
folding and presenting the U.S. flag by an honor guard of two or more uniformed military members (at least one will be from the branch of service of the deceased veteran).
Taps played by a live bugler or recording.
For more about military funeral honors, the U.S. Department of Defense can help. Your Dignity Memorial provider can assist with requesting military funeral honors.
Truth: The families of all honorably discharged veterans who have passed may request Presidential Memorial Certificates.
The engraved paper certificate, signed by the current U.S. president, honors the memory of honorably discharged veterans after their deaths. Eligible recipients, including the veteran's next of kin and loved ones, can request the certificate in person at any VA regional office or by U.S. mail. Your Dignity Memorial provider can assist your family in obtaining this certificate.
Truth: The families of all veterans who have passed may request replacement of service medals, awards and decorations.
Service recognition awards are often lost or misplaced. The veteran or a family member may request a replacement for a living veteran if they have the veteran's signed authorization. The next of kin of a deceased veteran can request replacements in writing using Standard Form 180 (SF 180). There is usually no charge for medal or award replacements.
For more information or for the mailing address of the military branch office to submit your request to, call 1-866-272-6272 or go to the National Personnel Records Center website. If your family needs SF 180, a Dignity Memorial provider can get one for you.
Myth: VA burial benefits extend to all military spouses and veterans' dependents.
Spouses and minor dependents may qualify to be buried in a national VA cemetery or state veterans cemetery at no charge, even if they pass away before their veterans. There are no monetary burial benefits or military honors available to spouses or children.
Truth: Dignity Memorial providers are experts at helping families secure military death benefits.
We are the exclusive provider of funerals and cremations for members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and certain State Departments of the American Legion. What's more, many years of planning funerals for thousands of veterans from all branches of service have given us experience in planning every detail of a veteran's funeral and ensuring they receive the respect and honor they have earned.
Contact us today to find out more about the special savings and benefits available to Houston Police Officers' Union members and their families. The benefits are available through dozens of providers in the Greater Houston area. To find a location and learn more, visit DignityMemorial.com/hpou or call 844-502-5901.

For Sale! [October 2014 Edition]
Posted on October 28, 2014 November 1, 2017 by Pedro F

1981 Mercedes Benz 450SEL 6.9
The W116 S-class is one of the best looking sedans Mercedes ever made. The design is elegant, timeless and the capable technical platform underneath allowed for some very interesting developments, the most interesting of which is this: the amazing 450SEL 6.9. A showcase of Mercedes' greatest skills from 1975 to 1981 (well, 1980 really…only 4 made in 1981), the 6.9 featured hydropneumatic self leveling suspension á la Citroen and limited slip diff, making it a very pleasant, steady ride. Power wise, it employs the same colossus as the W100 series; the M-100 cast iron V8 was upgraded from the original 6.3 to 6.9l, getting the 450 to run all the way up to 140mph after a 0 to 60 dash of just over 7 seconds. Not bad at all for a two ton car in the 70's. The 450SEL 6.9 attracted the attention of people like legendary Ladies man James Hunt and Ol' Blue Eyes; apparently it also won Ringo Starr's heart because this particular example offered for sale was once owned by the drummer of the Beatles, a musical group of some sort that was apparently mildly popular at a point.

2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
The Ferrari 599 is a pretty cool car; not perfect, but quite good. It got dialed up to 11 with the GTO version and that's great, but there's another incarnation of the 599 that often goes unappreciated: the Aperta. Created as a very special tribute to Pininfarina's 80th birthday, the Aperta is an exclusive ride because fittingly, only 80 were made. Featuring the same engine as the previously mentioned drop dead gorgeous, beastly GTO the Aperta packs 661bhp and reaches 202mph…how's that for al fresco motoring?

1985 Lancia Delta S4 Rally Car
If there was ever a golden age of rallying, it certainly happened while the monsters of Group B were in play. Between 82 and 86, legends like the Quattro, 037 and R200 were tearing up dirt and tarmac all over the world at ridiculous speeds. In that final year, a brutal crash claimed the lives of Finnish driver Henri Toivonen and American co-driver Sergio Cresto; their S4 was unrecognizable after the incident which (coupled with a series of previous incidents involving Group B cars) became the proverbial nail in the coffin for this class. Loss of life is always tragic and Rally drivers can only be commended for their bravery to push bonkers machinery to the very limit on surfaces which are often barely fit to be called "roads". However, I personally can't help but wish the kind of lunacy common back then in Group 4 was still around on the WRC today. Sure, the playing field is leveled but…I just can't get excited over the current cars. But back to what's important. This particular, beautiful S4 being offered for sale is an original factory racer and the winner of the 1986 Rally of Argentina. The pedigree, the looks, the Martini racing livery…it's simply perfect. Oh, and let's not ever forget that this thing was relatively close to 600bhp and could do 0 to 60 in well under 3 seconds…on gravel…
Seriously, take a moment out of your day and marvel in the magnificence of an S4 taking off (click here to go to the video). It's like an angry, nitrous oxide powered demonic bee. Love it.

1985 Lancia Delta S4 Stradale
What a wonderful little matching set someone can make…after praising the Rally version, it only felt right to feature this stunning Stradale. Quite a bit less clinically insane than its Rally brethren, the Stradale version was a condition in order for the S4 Rally car to be possible. FIA regulations dictated that 200 road going models needed to exist in order for the Rally versions to be allowed to compete. The seller suggests that Lancia severely skimped on this number and that only about 65 got made of which 45 remain. Despite not being able to personally confirm, all I can say is that I wouldn't be at all surprised if all the information was perfectly factual. You see, the S4 arrived late at Group 4 so it makes sense that production might have been cut short. However, what matters here is that this is a stunning example of a Stradale. It is a superbly rare car and this is an excellent opportunity for a lucky someone to end up with one of the most unique creations Lancia ever brought to life.

1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special
I absolutely love Mach 1s. They're about half way in the (classic) Mustang scale, not quite as basic as the sportsroof/fastbacks but not super hardcore 302 style. Like the thing with the bears and the beds, these are "just right". Now, we can argue till the cows come home about which Mach 1 looks better, 1969 or 1970. Personally, I'd be more than glad to own one of either year. The changes (to Mustangs in general, not just the Mach 1) are minimal and quite frankly you're gonna look badass in a Mach 1 no matter what. The one featured in this ad is very cool and very rare, especially outside the US. The Twister Special was a limited edition of just 96 cars offered for sale in the Kansas City area dealerships; I'm still debating if Ford's choice of name was cool or unbelievable insensitive…The Twister Specials were performance oriented and came equipped with either 428s or 351s. This particular example has a 428 Cobra Jet which is great! However, a decision was made which I personally think hurts this car considerably: the color change. Twister Specials were Grabber Orange, that's it. Despite the graphics being correct and this metallic gold not being ugly, it just feels out of place. Still, beautiful ride and an extremely rare find in the old continent.

1967 "Eleanor" Mustang
When Gone in Sixty Seconds came out in 2000 I fell in love and in 14 years, that love only grew stronger. I wasn't the only one impressed with her; "Eleanor" became one of the most famous movie cars ever and that's been a huge problem. More concretely, the bad copies have become a huge problem. It seems that there are very few accurate "Eleanors" out there; the exterior is relatively easy to get right with the body kit, but the equipment, the interiors, rims…even the color, that's where the challenge lies. I understand that a lot of folks don't want an exact replica, they want their own car and that's ok I guess; the problem is, when you change and redesign and cut corners in one "Eleanor", it reflects poorly on all of them. This body kit/style has gained such a bad rep lately that people actively hate it and it's so very unfair on the original concept. This particular example being offered for sale isn't perfect (tail lights, reverse lights, etc) but it's not that bad either (at least esthetically); Mechanics wise it does look super clean and owning some very nice quality parts; the 363 small block is usually more of a hot rodding focused engine, but it looks great in there. On the inside you've got the nice correct switches for NOS (which is indeed in the trunk, awesome!) but I wish it had the correct shifter, steering wheel, rev counter, etc. Still, certainly not a terrible conversion and "she" is numbered in the Eleanor registry.

I thank HIMYM for knowing who Pablo Neruda is. Thank you The Naked Man episode.
Culture and intelligence are 2 diff things.
I'm a graduate and I have no idea who any of those people are. Unless he was doing literature or something why does it matter.
That's pretty elitist and bitchy… I don't even care to look up who those people are. I read a lot but poetry doesn't do it for me.
I assume that his graduate had something to do with literature; that seems to be the whole point of this post. Plus, I'm a computer science major and I know who all the people she mentioned are so I don't think its unreasonable. You guys should get out more.

Jason Luckett (History)
(An old bio for MMIX, but if you'd like to use part of it for your story, feel free.)
Jason Luckett is a singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles. His organic sound is a vibrant mixture of passion and peace. His primary influences include Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, and the Smiths.
"I used to call it 'sweaty soul folk', 'organic pop' then 'groovyacousticsoul,' but what it really is a mixture of rock and folk with a spiritual connection to jazz protest artists like Nina Simone and Oscar Brown, Jr. I loved Gil Scott-Heron and the Smiths in college, then I read a lot of Bukowski, Rilke and Orwell while busking around Europe after graduation. I'd listen to Bob Dylan and Astrud Gilberto in my walkman traveling by train to museums in search of paintings by Vermeer, Klimt, and Egon Schiele. That kind of shaped me into a kind of artist attracted to activist political poetry, romance, melancholy and frank sensuality. I also developed a penchant for direct and loud acoustic music to capture the attention of passing tourists and earn enough for a hotel that night."
A Southern Californian, Jason was born in Hawaii, with roots in Mississippi and Maine, USA. If that seems a navigational conundrum, the music clarifies. He brings stories from all stops with residual suburban angst… and a healthy dose of urban consciousness.
Jason spent most of his childhood in Irvine, CA. He picked up a degree in Communication Studies at UCLA. He also did time at Warner Bros. Records in the Black Music Dept. and at original LA punk label, Slash Records, scouting talent, before being swept up as an artist for EMI Music publishing. Somehow in there he shared management with the likes of Michael Jackson, Roseanne, and the "Sweet Caroline" singer, Neil Diamond…. Yeah, he thinks it's bizarre, too.
After those brushes with the "superstar" makers, he split to England and wrote his first album as the outgrowth of a planned stage play called J Masala Griot, ("Masala" being a mixture of colors and spices; "Griot," a family storyteller/musician/historian; "J" just for vanity.)
Going further underground back in the States he put out a cassette tape called Suicide or Celebration? and began a life as a traveling musician.
mMix is Jason's seventh disc. It asks if transcendence is possible when nakedly requested. ("In a song called mystery and wonder / can there be any of either?") Perhaps it's an outgrowth of his previous release arrogance procrastination fear humility (APFH). That disc ends up with him understanding that he needs to ask. In this one, he knows what he's asking for. The questions may be huge, but as he says in the hook of APFH's, Lovesjoy, "you can't win if you don't try."
Once again Jason mixes passions of politics and love, with humor, insight and left field pop references in a quest for truth and grounding in this mad time we share now. This one sounds less like Joni meets Marvin and more like Shuggie Otis hanging out with Travis, listening to Wilco, the Smiths and Burt Bacharach. A purely solo recording, Jason plays a bunch of instruments on it, yet still tours as a solo acoustic guitar act.
In that regard, the past few years Jason's toured the US several times and performed in Europe. He's also performed consistently at poetry venues in Los Angeles as a featured artist and musician. Off the road, he works with youth programs through the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ), mentoring teenagers in music as well as creating original music for NCCJ Presents, a theatrical outreach program. And, to come clean, he's also scored a couple independent films and TV commercials.

How trade left its mark
Baths, smiths and a warm welcome along the Golden Road
Tradesmen and travelers spent days at a time on the road, in conditions that were often dusty or muddy and altogether unpleasant. Tired and drained they reached the towns and villages along the route with their packhorses laden with wares. In the early Middle Ages traders loaded their animals with goods and they themselves traipsed alongside.
Whirpool from the Middle Ages
As trade intensified and became more professional after the intervention of Charles IV carts were used more and more, sometimes provided by farmers who began to diversify but also by the forerunners of modern logistic companies.
Blooming trade
The owners of bars, taverns and coaching houses en route quickly caught on to this blooming trade: Innkeepers began to provide hearty meals and bed for the night, the blacksmiths busied themselves with the horses, oxen and donkeys and the baths drew in customers with offers of a hot bath, a massage and just about everything that one would expect of a modern health farm today, as far perhaps as offering 'extra services'.
A typical example of one of these places of rest and relaxation is Pommelsbrunn, which was first documented in 1486 as catering for every weary traveler's needs.
Sheep Street, Post Alley and Pig Way- street names tell us so much about the history of certain places. As the villages and towns first appeared between Nurnberg and Prague, there were of course roads joining the settlements. There are deep tracks still visible near the road between Amberg and Schmidmühlen that tell of the transport of coal and iron ore. There are also higher roads, like the one south of Kohlberg, which have been used for hundreds of years as alternative routes during bad weather because the water would drain off naturally.

An author once wrote 'No province or land in Germany is more fancy and free than that land we call Franconia'. He was called Matthäus Merian and was one of the first writers that ever wrote travel logs for the use of others following in his footsteps. He was referring to the region's 'Frank and Free' nature. Kaiser Charles I promoted Franconia to the centre of his realm. In the following chapter we will be exploring the area beyond the town walls of Nuremberg and the Upper Palatinate. First stop on the road to Prague. Oberpfalz frank und frei zur Fränkischen Pfalz – erste Station auf dem Weg nach Prag.
The wealth of the Upper Palatinate and Amberg with its official residence and importance at the centre of the mining industry influenced the architecture in the area greatly. Between the 'Hammerschlösser' (the mansions built by the aristocracy near their works) a union of the owners of the mines and iron works was established, the Hammereinigung (1387-1626), a fore-runner to the European agreements of today and a kind of mining union enabling the free trade and transport of the materials between signatories was ratified.
Like a spider keeping watch over its web, Amberg is actually situated several kilometres south of the Golden Road behind its still almost complete town walls, but for the tradesmen en route, it would almost certainly have opened its gates. The detour to the residence of the Winter King is worth the trip. Upriver along the Vilstal, on which the barges carried ore to Regensburg, to Schloss Theuern the traveler will see a wealth of wonderful sights, a fascinating town, quirky facilities like a the Museum of Air, castles and some truly beautiful ancient land and river scenery.
It is at this stage of the journey that the Golden Road splits. The good took the 'right' way through Weiden and Bärnau, the bad through Wernberg and Waidhaus, which in the end proved to be the cheaper of the two. Despite the popularity of two routes the trade that Charles IV supported and promoted brought much wealth to many a town and the region in general. Majestic town halls sprang up in which the tradesmen could do business. Later during the baroque period the acanthus leaf found fame in interior architecture and decoration. The Ancient Greeks and the Romans used the motif widely, and it was 'rediscovered' and used in the embellishment of many an altar and church.
Kaiser Barbarossa made Eger the seat of his Kingdom and the surrounding area was redesigned and refurbished, creating what was to be an example to all regions under the name of Provincia Egrensis. Later as Kaiser Ludwig of Bavaria had to give up the town to his rival and successor Charles IV the region retained its importance and its own parliament until 1806 when it became a part of Bohemia. The neighbouring Stiftland, or as it was known the ancient province of Tirschenreuth, was under the jurisdiction of Cistercian monks in Waldsassen during this time and they kept a very close contact with Egerland.
The Kaiser ordered the use of his own official route but was also very aware of the advantages of the 'forbidden' option. Charles IV sent his own Imperial Regalia on the forbidden street through Waidhaus, which shows that there was indeed good reason to circumnavigate the heights of Bärnau as proved by the routing of the A6, the modern alternative to the ancient trade route, which seems to follow the unauthorised path.

As the current administration continues to implement increasingly restrictive immigration policies, health care providers find themselves grappling with how to manage sensitive information about immigrant patients and their status. Some feel that immigration status falls under the protections of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). Yet, at least one state, Arizona, requires clinicians to report undocumented immigrants to the proper authorities.
Authorized person: Without a warrant or other form of consent from an authorized person, immigration enforcement officers are not permitted to enter private areas of public health centers. This authorized person is usually a designated staff member employed by the hospital or medical facility in question.
Information disclosure: Unless local laws state otherwise, health care providers are not required to ask about a patient's immigration status or report their status to federal authorities. HIPAA laws prohibit releasing personal patient information, such as immigration status, to third-parties without the individual's consent.
Sensitive location: Health care facilities including hospitals are considered to be "sensitive" locations, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP.) This means arrests, searches, and interviews cannot be conducted on the premises, unless otherwise approved by certain immigration enforcement officials.
Right to remain silent: While immigration enforcement officials are prohibited from entering private areas of health care facilities, they can enter public areas and question anyone present. All individuals have the right to remain silent in response to questioning.
Warrants: Health care providers do not have to provide personal patient information unless required to do so pursuant to a warrant or other court order. The designated health care employee should verify the warrant is valid before providing this information. A valid warrant is signed by the judge, includes the correct address for the facility, and is being executed in the time period listed on the warrant.
Good health care is essential for every person's well-being. Every person, regardless of their status, deserves high-quality preventive care, routine vaccinations and screenings, and treatment for acute and chronic health conditions. Unfortunately, many individuals who lack proper documentation do not receive the care they need to lead healthy lives because they fear their physician may disclose their status.
Fear of removal or other immigration enforcement should never be a barrier to good health. If you have concerns about disclosing your status to your doctor and what the ramifications may be if they find out, contact an experienced Philadelphia immigration attorney at Surin & Griffin, P.C. today. To discuss your situation, call 215-925-4435 or contact us online to schedule your consultation. Based in Philadelphia, we represent clients throughout Pennsylvania and the nation.
