'Spare me': Tillis draws GOP fire with pro-Mueller push
The Republican senator is eager to shield the special counsel from Trump — regardless of potential blowback from conservatives or the president.

Thom Tillis isn't the kind of Republican who typically challenges Donald Trump.
The North Carolina senator backs the president's agenda and holds his tongue when it comes to the tweets. As others abandoned Trump after the "Access Hollywood" tape emerged, Tillis stood by his endorsement.
But now, he's a lead sponsor of a bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from interference by Trump — enraging conservatives and potentially risking the president's ire. It's the biggest gamble Tillis has taken as a Republican senator, but one he believes is philosophically consistent with how the GOP would approach the situation if the president were a Democrat.
Tillis doesn't think Trump will ultimately fire Mueller even as the president rages over the expanding Russia probe. But he has an impassioned response for his conservative critics nonetheless: "Spare me."
"Courage is when you know you're going to do something that's going to anger your base," Tillis said in an interview in his Senate office.
"The same people who would criticize me for filing this bill would be absolutely angry if I wasn't pounding the table for this bill if we were dealing with Hillary Clinton," he argued. "So spare me your righteous indignation."

The effort has not yet caught fire with most in his party. Many Republicans tell Tillis that the president will never sign it, so his is a fruitless endeavor. Democrats, however, believe it amounts to a stern warning to the president even if the bill never becomes law.
But some Republicans warn that it could hurt Tillis among Trump voters he'll need in what's likely to be a brutal reelection campaign in 2020.
"I can tell you conservatives in my district are not happy about it," said Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.
Some of his colleagues are also concerned.
"It's not good politics in the end," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). "It says you don't trust the president."
But Tillis has a lengthy rationale for working with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on the bill, which would allow a special counsel a 10-day window to fight a potential removal by the Trump administration and could soon see a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He argues that passing the law now would offer protections against future liberal presidents under investigation, specifically "a President Warren or a President Sanders or a President Booker." And if successful, he'd remove a major talking point from Democrats who have been slamming the GOP for not doing more to safeguard Mueller and the rule of law.
But more than anything, Tillis wants to take a stand against what he calls "situational ethics": Politicians changing their stances based on who is in the White House without sticking to any deeply held philosophical moorings.
"The only way you get these things done [is] when you have somebody who is willing to take the heat when you're in the majority," Tillis said. "You see it all the time. Hammer the table when it benefits you, not when it disadvantages your guy that has the same jersey on. There's no rational explanation except being duplicitous."
A square-jawed former statehouse speaker with a light Southern accent, Tillis was the 2014 victor in what was then the most expensive Senate race in history. He's now the deputy leader of the Senate GOP's campaign arm, and while he hails from a swing state, he's no stranger to throwing bombs at his Democratic colleagues for not supporting tax reform or the president's nominees.
But he's also tried to work with them on immigration reform, an increasingly important issue in his diversifying state. And right now, most Democrats have nothing but praise for a junior senator who is willing to stick his neck out and face the potential peril of Twitter attacks from a president who's grown angry about the special counsel digging into his affairs.
"I absolutely think it's a risky thing for him to do. And I don't think he cares," said Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.).
Sarah Sanders 'not aware' of any plans to fire Mueller or Rosenstein
By MARTIN MATISHAK
Trump called Tillis last August to press him about the legislation, though the president never asked him to stand down and never raised his voice, according to Tillis. Trump has not yet called him since the bill began picking up steam.
It was Tillis himself who first proposed the bill to protect Mueller in a conversation with Coons last summer, an important bipartisan partnership that's survived tough battles over taxes and health care.
Coons was struck by Tillis' fight for reparations for black victims of a North Carolina eugenics program. And Tillis was impressed that Coons was willing to fend off Democrats who wanted to pile on to the special counsel bill and turn it into a partisan attack on Trump.
"He was pretty clear," Coons said, recalling how Tillis threatened to drop his support unless each new Democratic co-sponsor was matched by a Republican.
Though Tillis insists he is trying to do the right thing, Democratic political operatives believe there is something more cynical afoot. Tillis is among a small group of Senate Republicans who will come under heavy attacks in their 2020 reelection bids, and Democrats believe he is trying to get right with voters before he has to share the ballot with Trump.
"He thinks it's good politics," said a veteran Democratic North Carolina political operative who doubts it will help Tillis. "You don't just do what you think is right when you are facing a reelection race like he is."
Tillis proclaims that he hasn't thought through the politics, and he said it may be the last time he ever gets praise from Democrats. He said he's "at peace with my conscience" on the special counsel bill — and if his voters aren't, he'll know it.
"Frankly, I haven't even thought through the political consequences," Tillis said. "So if my constituents are at odds with me, there will be an opportunity to voice their opinion on it in November of 2020."
Tillis previously dipped his toe into the Senate spotlight during bipartisan immigration talks. But after discussing a potential deal for months, Tillis eventually opposed negotiators' final product and took Trump's position — leaving Democrats fuming that he was never serious about a compromise.
Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), a lead sponsor of the bipartisan immigration bill, said he was "disappointed" that Tillis couldn't agree with the Senate's centrists. But he praised Tillis as a "serious, independent-minded guy" and said that the involvement of a generally partisan Republican on the special counsel bill carries real weight.
"His involvement is significant because he's not one of the usual [suspects]. I think that will give him extra influence," King said.
What happens if Trump fires Rosenstein?
By JOSH GERSTEIN
Whether that translates into more Republican votes is unclear. The other members of the class of 2014 who flipped the Senate to Republicans generally disagree with him about the substance of the bill.
It's difficult to imagine enough Republicans signing on to the bill to pass it in the Senate, much less get it through the House or survive a presidential veto. Still, there is evidence that his argument is resonating: Republicans seem to understand that passing a bill to protect Mueller would sweep away damaging headlines for the GOP every time Trump lashes out.
"He wants to get the issue off the table," said Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who entered the Senate alongside Tillis and partnered with him on immigration, though he opposes the special counsel bill. "So it stops becoming a distraction. Because it is."
Tillis already helped break a legislative logjam by merging his and Coons' bill with a competing version from Booker and Graham. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is now expected to put it up for a vote on the panel by the end of the month, and it is likely to pass the committee.
Getting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring it to the floor, however, will be far more difficult. McConnell and other Republican leaders have expressed concern that the bill may not be constitutional because it erodes executive powers. It's also an explosive issue that would divide the party, which McConnell always attempts to avoid.
Tillis, a member of the Senate GOP whip team, said it is on him to convince McConnell that it's worth bringing up.
"It's on the member to present a case for using chamber time for the bill. It is on the member to convince the leader that we have the votes to pass it," Tillis said. "This isn't the leader's problem. ... This is my responsibility."

Deputies line Springfield school entrance for daughter of fallen officer Aaron Roberts, a deputy with the Greene County Sheriff's Office, died Sept. 7, 2018. Check out this story on news-leader.com: https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/2019/08/13/deputies-line-sps-school-entrance-daughter-slain-officer/2001234001/
Claudette Riley, Springfield News-Leader Published 3:48 p.m. CT Aug. 13, 2019 | Updated 3:49 p.m. CT Aug. 13, 2019
Nearly a year ago, Lydia Roberts' father — a deputy with the Greene County Sheriff's Office — died in the line of duty.
Early Tuesday, Lydia started a new school year. This year was the first time her dad was not there on her first day.

The men and women who worked alongside Aaron Roberts at the sheriff's office wanted to support his young daughter. They wanted her to know she was not alone.
They lined the entrance outside of Springfield's Fremont Elementary, surrounding her on both sides as she exited the car.

"It's good we were are able to help and to be there," said Deputy James Craigmyle. "It is a big deal for Lydia to have this support and for Kim to have this support."
Deputy Roberts, 35, drowned Sept. 7, 2018, after his patrol car was swept off the road in rushing water. He'd just cleared a call when he radioed in that his car had been washed off the roadway.
After an extensive search, Aaron Roberts was found in his patrol car just north of Fair Grove.
Craigmyle said Tuesday's show of support was not an anomaly. He said Roberts' family will always be part of the sheriff's office.

"This is continuous," he said of the support for Aaron Roberts' daughter, Lydia. "We'll be there when she graduates and we'll be there when she gets married."
He said the sheriff's office plans to mark the one-year anniversary of Roberts' death but has not yet finalized the details.

Starbucks inside former Bistro Market to close


The prime minister says people ought to look at the overall employment picture in Australia and Victoria, not just focus on declines in car making.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says job losses at Ford are regrettable but people should be looking at the whole employment picture, not just one dimension of it.
It was revealed on Thursday that 300 Ford workers in Victoria will lose their jobs by June as the company looks to cease local manufacturing by 2016.
Workers at Ford's plants in Geelong and Broadmeadows, in Melbourne's north, will be affected.
Mr Abbott said the news was the result of internal discussions.
"Any job losses are deeply regrettable," he told reporters in Brisbane.
He said there was some good news, too, such as Coles' decision to invest $360 million in building and upgrading new stores in Victoria, which will create about 3500 jobs.
"We should be looking at the whole of employment picture rather than focusing on just one dimension of it," he said.
Victorian Premier Denis Napthine said the Ford decision was disappointing.
"We're all disappointed with this decision by Ford," he told state parliament on Thursday.
Dr Napthine said the Victorian government had put $9 million on the table as part of a $45 million package with the previous Labor federal government to assist Ford workers.
The state government had also announced funding for an automotive program targeting new markets.
"When we first heard of this decision, we as a government worked closely with the then federal Labor government to put in place a range of programs to assist those workers, assist those communities and assist those families," Dr Napthine said.

Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) Critical Science Plan
Rast, Mark

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), formerly the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST), is under construction on Haleakala, Maui HI, with expected instrument integration in 2018 and start of operations during the summer of 2019. In preparation, the National Solar Observatory (NSO) is working with the Science Working Group to formulate a critical science plan for early operations and is calling for community involvement in all stages of its development. The first step in this process is the definition of a set of critical science themes and, under each of these, use-cases that outline the scientific motivation along with the instrument suite and high level observing strategies to be employed. The use-cases will later be refined into observing proposals, which will guide the development of efficient operations tools and procedures and provide the framework for some of the first science observations to be made with the telescope. A web interface has been established to facilitate community engagement.

Penn State Researchers Find Alien Radio Signal – Maybe
Their research is funded in part by Israeli entrepreneur Yuri Milner.
Project Breakthrough Listen, which is associated with Penn State University and funded by Russian-Israeli entrepreneur Yuri Milner, may have discovered proof of alien life in our galaxy. The evidence comes in the form of radio waves which radio astronomers believe came from the direction of the star Proxima Centauri.
Breakthrough Listen is the largest ever scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth. The program includes a survey of the 1,000,000 closest stars to Earth. It scans the center of our galaxy and the entire galactic plane. Beyond the Milky Way, it listens for messages from the 100 closest galaxies to ours.
It has $100 million in funding provided by Yuri Milner.
With a net worth of $5.1 billion, Forbes describes Yuri Milner as Russia's most influential tech investor. He was an early backer of Facebook and Twitter through his venture fund, DST Global. He also invested in Spotify and Airbnb.
Breakthrough Listen explains that Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star, invisible to the naked eye from Earth, and part of the three-star system of Alpha Centauri. It's about 4.24 light years away from us.
The star is orbited by two known planets, one of which resides in the "habitable zone" that could support the Earth-like conditions that would allow for life as we know it, according to Scientific American. Penn State researchers are examining a radio signal that may have come from Proxima Centauri. The star, normally invisible to the naked eye from Earth, is our solar system's closest neighbor.
The signal was first discovered in April 2019. But many scientists think that it is just human-made interference, like all such uncovered signals have turned out to be.
Sofia Sheikh Facebook
The reason that it may be for real this time is that scientists say the signal is only observed when looking in the direction of Proxima Centauri. This was explained by Sofia Sheikh, a graduate student at Penn State, who is leading a team studying the signal and trying to decipher its origin.
"It's some sort of technological signal. The question is whether it's Earth technology or technology from somewhere out yonder," she told the New York Times.
"It's the most exciting signal that we've found in the Breakthrough Listen project, because we haven't had a signal jump through this many of our filters before," Sheikh told Scientific American.
On the pessimistic side some see it as really coming from something that came from Earth. "If you see such a signal and it's not coming from the surface of Earth, you know you have detected extraterrestrial technology," Jason Wright, a Penn State University associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics, told Scientific American. "Unfortunately, humans have launched a lot of extraterrestrial technology."

There are new laws going into effect in Canada regarding anti-spam. CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation) goes into effect on July 1, 2014. It is different than the CAN-SPAM Act, established in the United States in 2003. The biggest difference between CASL and the CAN-SPAM Act in the US is that Canada's legislation requires consent prior to emailing someone. There will will be a three-year transitional period in which marketers will be permitted to continue sending "CEMs" (electronic messages that encourage participation in commercial activity) to existing customers.
MarketingProfs has posted an interesting infographic regarding this new law in Canada.

Three weeks ago, the outbreak began and since then no further cases of anthrax have been reported outside of Turner's Flying D Ranch.
To date, 257 bison have also died due to the naturally occurring anthrax on Turner's ranch and, the number of bison deaths per day has been steadily falling for the past nine days, according to officials at state Department of Livestock. Gallatin County Commissioners have announced that they will reopen Spanish Creek Road Friday evening. Officials warn that the area will remain under livestock quarantine. People traveling on Spanish Creek Road should keep pets inside vehicles and horses should not be unloaded until travelers reach the U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. The area will remain under livestock quarantine for 42 days after the last death attributed to anthrax.
Anthrax of this type is naturally occurring and can lie dormant in the soil for decades before it becomes active under certain weather conditions like heavy rains followed by drought. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing when or where the disease will pop up in the future. Efforts to limit the outbreak has been a cooperation of a number of agencies and the Flying D Ranch went to extraordinary measures to get the anthrax contained, according to the Department of Livestock.

I LOVE teaching at an arts integrated school! Our kids have the most amazing opportunities! This week, we had a visiting artist teaching workshops to all of the classes. We ended the week with an amazing puppet show. Matt Sandbank taught each class about poetry and how he uses poetry to bring his puppets to life. The kids, and adults, were in awe of Mr. Matt and his work. He showed my class how he makes his shadow puppets and made a very special puppet for each child. He had them act out a scene with their puppet for the rest of the class. The kids had so much fun and have begged to do puppet shows all week. Mr. Matt has transformed our school. While in bus duty this week, I saw several kids writing their own poetry. I saw kids writing poetry during their lunch. I can't believe how one class with Mr. Matt turned our kids into writers!
Here are a few pics from the puppet show Mr. Matt did for us. Stop by his website and checkout some of his work. Maybe you can get him to come to your school. You won't be sorry!!
That is so so cool!!!!!!!

The collapse in North Dakota oil drilling could spell trouble for oil-by-rail in the Northwest.
A few years back, when most oil industry analysts thought that oil prices would remain in the $100-per-barrel range for the foreseeable future, domestic oil companies found that they could earn a healthy profit by fracking "tight oil" out of shale rock formations. Drilling activity in North Dakota, home of the oil-rich Bakken Shale, shot through the roof, catapulting the Flickertail State (yes, that's an actual nickname for North Dakota) into the #2 oil-producing state in the country, second only to Texas.
But starting in the summer of 2014, global oil prices began to collapse. Within a few months, US prices had fallen below $50 per barrel, and oil drilling activity in North Dakota collapsed. Take a look at the oil drilling trend for North Dakota, derived from the Baker Hughes North American rotary rig count.
It's perhaps a little early to see the drilling collapse in the state's oil production statistics. But some Wall Street analysts have certainly noticed the drilling trend and are starting to speculate that the collapse in shale oil drilling could lead to a new round of oil price volatility.
For the Pacific Northwest—where the oil industry has proposed a host of oil-by-rail projects up and down the coast—the implications of this trend are clear: the oil business is fraught with uncertainty. For years, the oil industry thought that prices would stay high, and that fracking the Bakken would be a stable business. So they planned massive terminal projects to handle all of the new oil they expected to produce.
But if today's rig count is to be believed, it's not at all clear that Bakken fracking is economically sustainable. And that raises huge questions about the economic viability of Northwest oil-by-rail projects. Are we seeing the early stages of the same sort of economic uncertainty that have placed Northwest coal terminals in financial limbo? Could the collapse in Bakken fracking turn massive oil-by-rail proposals into "stranded assets"? Stay tuned!!
"Volatility" is the key word.
A lot of people have been banking on "peak oil" being synonymous with "high prices." But what we're finding is that the backside of Hubbert's Curve is not a smooth descent, but rather a nasty, ragged sawtooth, that can cut you if you're not careful and prepared!
Volatility is making it very hard for the oil industry to figure out how to invest…and making it much more likely that many of its investments won't pan out.
All the more reason to wean ourselves off of our petroleum addiction ASAP. Shift to low-carbon modes: walking, bikes, transit and (ideally, shared) electric vehicles.
If oil prices are "declining" why is Shell station in Shoreline $3.49, 3.59, 3.69/gallon?
Note that there's only so much fiddling that can be done before capital investments become necessary to the refineries; guess who those costs will be passed on to?
The Bakken oil should be saved in the ground to store carbon to mitigate global warming. Someday after the atmosphere is stabilized it could help produce and deliver food and medicine for future generations. The slower it is developed the better. It also would help the price for the producers. Wasting huge amounts of fuel to export this oil to Asia is nuts.
Thanks to Irene A. Saikevych, M.D. for supporting a sustainable Northwest.

I don't like New Year's very much...I never keep my resolutions and just feel depressed looking back, lol. So I was pretty excited when I saw Lynne encouraging us to pick one (or more, if you felt so incline) favorite thing of the year. YES! That's much more my style. So much better than making a quilt mosaic that pales hugely in comparison to all the lovely ones I have been looking at the past few days!!
So here is my favorite quilt this year - the Fire & Ice quilt.
Unfortunately, it didn't make it into Quilt Con :(. I was really hoping it would. On the flip side, I will be able to hang it at an art show in southwest Michigan instead! The dates were conflicting, so it would only get to be in one.
This thing was my passion for quite awhile, and I'm looking forward to this coming year - I've designed a bunch of paper pieced quilts and can't wait to make them!


Southern Cross Compressors offers a wide range of air dryers, suitable for any application, to remove condensate which can cause product spoilage and expensive maintenance.
The process of air compression concentrates contaminants, including water vapour. This raises the dew point of the compressed air relative to free atmospheric air and leads to condensation within the reticulation system as the compressed air cools downstream of the compressor.
Excessive water in compressed air, in either the liquid or vapor phase, can cause a variety of operational problems for users of compressed air. These include corrosion in piping and valves, malfunctioning of pneumatics, damage to instrumentation, fouling of processes, product spoilage, and more.
Southern Cross Compressors stock two types of compressed air dryers. Their performance characteristics are typically defined by the dew point required for each application.
Many air dryers available in the Australian market have been manufactured and designed for cooler climates. As Australia has wide fluctuating temperatures ranging up to highs well into the 40's it is important that a dryer with the correct specifications is selected for each application.
Air dryers designed for cooler climatic temperatures may shut down during periods of hot, humid conditions particularly in Summer when the temperature exceeds the design of the air dryer. It is vital if your operating environment exceeds temperatures of 30ºC at any time during periods of high production that you ensure your air dryers are designed to operate effectively under these conditions.
Southern Cross Compressors has a range of refrigerated and desiccant air dryers that are specifically designed to suit the Australian climate. During hot periods they will run effectively preventing problems with air quality and avoiding lost productivity.
Southern Cross Compressors are experts in the application of air dryers that work effectively and reliably to further 'lower the cost of compressed air'.


One of the best of the rebel songs, O'Donnell Abu! was written by Michael Joseph McCann in 1843. "Abu!", as I understand it, is similar to "Hurrah!" I recognized this song on the bagpipes long before I knew the words (or even knew it had words!) I subsequently have asked many Irish singers for the song, and found but few of them also know there are words. A version by tenor Michael O'Duffy can be found here.
To join the thick squadrons in Saimer's green vale.
Rush to the standard of dauntless Red Hugh!
Onward for Erin, O'Donnell Abu!
With many a chieftain and warrior clan.
'Neath the borderers brave from the Banks of the Bann.
Many a heart shall quail under its coat of mail.
Tyr Connail's dread war cry, O'Donnell Abu!
The altars we kneel at, the homes of our sires.
Midnight is red with the plunderer's fires.
Sons of Tyr Connail all valiant and true!
Strike for your country, O'Donnell Abu!
And all who would scare them are banished or slain!
Special thanks to Stair Na Héireann Blog for this article about Hugh O'Neill and Red Hugh O'Donnell that reminded me of this song.

In this clip, you will hear Lisa Krick ask, "Are you behind Dale?" as we were getting energy spikes in the hallway outside the room upstairs. You will hear the Ghost Radar reply, "Handsome."
While investigating the upstairs in the old apartments, investigators kept seeing shadows and hearing footsteps off in the distance. In this clip, you will hear Dean Thompson say, "SHHH," followed by an unknown male whisper off in the distance say something like, "Didn't hear something," not heard in real time. Then, Dean responding, "That way where I saw the shadows, I just heard two footsteps."
In this first clip, you will hear Nicole ask, "If you're dead, you're dead, right?" followed by a quiet, response, "No," not heard in real time in the bedroom in the upstairs apartment with an alleged suicide.
Dean Thompson from Alton, IL asks, "Do you know one of these two girls' names?" and the Ghost Box replies, "Nicole," while upstairs in the former apartments.

Many location-based businesses are not taking full advantage of what Facebook can offer them. A business' website and Facebook page are complementary online assets; one definitely does not replace the other.
Most location-based companies have established some kind of website – at the very least providing contact information and hours of operation. Real world businesses should definitely add their website to Google's map listing so customers searching for businesses in a specific area can directly surf to your site from their localized search. Customers tend to visit your website only when they are considering visiting – making it critical to clearly explain how to visit and provide reasons why they should visit soon.
Step 2: Start developing Facebook oriented content. Keep your site fresh and interesting – even in the beginning when you don't have many customers following (i.e. "Liking" you). The more interesting stuff you have on your Facebook page, the more likable you will be when customers first visit you. Generating content that is both interesting and appropriate to your business can be challenging at first. Fill your news feed with announcements on promotions, specials or events at your location. Leverage the fact you are a real world business to post photos or videos of interesting activity at your stores. Explore the zillions of Facebook business apps – from surveys to sweepstakes to interactive games - to see what else may be appropriate for your business.
Step 3: Get visitors to "Like" you from your Facebook page. There is a lot of value in getting people to "Like" you. You get advertised to their friends when they click your "Like" button and you can get back in touch with them later by posting content to their news feeds. While there are services that claim to let you buy "Likes", you should focus on being more likable by making sure any visitors to your page are greeted with interesting and valuable content or offers. Generate visitors by promoting your Facebook presence on your website and promotional emails, and by promoting your page to mobile Facebook users visiting your location. Don't be afraid to ask visitors to "Like" you or even offer something in exchange for them to "Like" you. Note that while you may have a Facebook "Like" button on your website (as opposed to the "Like" button on your Facebook page), customers clicking this button will post the event to their newsfeed, but you will not be able to post new content to their newsfeeds from your Facebook page.
Step 4: Get visitors to check-in. In addition to "Likes", you can ask visitors at your physical location to check-in using their mobile Facebook app on their smart phone. Check-ins also get broadcast to the friends of each visitor (on average, each Facebook user has 120 friends). In addition, monitoring check-ins give incredible data on customer traffic patterns and opens up a channel for running on-location promotions and loyalty rewards programs. Just as with "Likes" you should consider asking your customers to check-in in return for something.
Step 5: Start the communication with your customers. Make sure you retain the interest of people who have "Liked" your business by offering exclusive content or deals not available to everyone else. Build relationships by soliciting feedback on your business and report back how you are acting on the advice you get. There are many apps businesses can use to develop new channels of communication on their Facebook page including surveys, interactive calendars, reviews, and Facebook Deals. The most important element of developing communication is to keep up a consistent flow of valuable and engaging content.
While it takes some time and creativity, Facebook pages can add a new dimension to the real world business' marketing program.
Increasing participation in on-location social media platforms like Facebook is a focus of Bozuko and we are really looking forward to telling you more about what we can do for your business.

An Essay on Typography is a 1931 book by Eric Gill about the history of typographical art and production. It has been considered a classic since its first publication: the influential graphic designer Paul Rand called it 'timeless and absorbing' in a review for The New York Times.

The first edition of the book was typeset by Gill himself in his own Joanna typeface, making use of typographical features similar to those seen on handwritten manuscripts.

The next day Jarod was devastated to tears that the tooth fairy took his tooth, he liked having the money but not at the expense of his tooth.
He sat down at the counter and started writing on a piece of paper, Erika (mom) asked him what he was doing, he told her he was writing the tooth fairy a note asking if she would please give him his tooth back because he misses it very much and and that he would take very good care of it if she returns it, thank you very much Love Jarod.
The next morning underneath Jarod's pillow was the tooth along with a note from the tooth fairy telling him that she knew he would be very careful with his tooth. It is now safely ensconced in a locked box in his room.
He now has another loose tooth that he doesn't want anyone touching so it won't come out anytime soon.
His parents are not encouraging this and have a little while to work on the separation issue with this one.

Commissioner for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Joe Borg welcomed the Declaration on combating unreported cod fishery in the Baltic Sea, signed at yesterday's inter-ministerial meeting on enforcement in the Baltic Sea in Copenhagen. Commissioner Borg signed the Declaration alongside ministers from the countries around the Baltic Sea. Commissioner Borg said: "I welcome the adoption of the Declaration that we have just signed. This Declaration is a clear signal of the commitment of the Member States around the Baltic to strengthen their control and enforcement systems. Proper enforcement of fisheries measures is neither a luxury nor is it an unnecessary imposition on fishermen, quite the contrary. The absence of control is the quickest way to the ruin of a fishery as overfishing inevitably leads to depletion."
He continued: "This is why I am really encouraged by the initiative taken by the Baltic Regional Advisory Council and the presence of the Ministers here, today. Both show a common determination to tackle the weaknesses in the application and control of fisheries measures.
The initiative by the Baltic RAC, which I warmly welcome, sends a strong signal to all concerned. It shows that there is genuine concern among stakeholders of practices that undermine the sustainability of fish stocks and, of course, of the related fisheries.
Stakeholders have an important role to play in encouraging compliance among their peers. But they also look to the enforcement authorities to fully play their part in detecting infringements to fisheries measures and in imposing effective sanctions. I am glad to say that by meeting here today and by signing the Declaration, the Member States have responded to the RAC's call for support.
For its part, the Commission will continue to work with the Member States to improve and strengthen control and monitoring. It will continue to encourage the move towards more effective and uniform control and enforcement.
The new Community fisheries control agency has also an important role to play here. Indeed, it is good to see that the Agency's role is acknowledged in the Declaration.
I look forward to seeing the improvements that will be made by the Member States in their enforcement systems. This is particularly important as we get nearer to the adoption of the multi-annual cod plan for the Baltic. The success of this plan and the future of the cod Baltic cod fisheries will depend on these improvements."

Statement by President Donald J. Trump on S. 2155
Issued on: May 24, 2018
Today, I have signed into law S. 2155, the "Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act" (the "Act"). Section 211(a) of the Act, though styled as a congressional finding, purports to direct my subordinates in the executive branch to take certain positions before international bodies and to "achieve consensus positions" with State insurance regulators in negotiations before such bodies. These directives contravene my exclusive constitutional authority to determine the time, scope, and objectives of international negotiations. My Administration will give careful and respectful consideration to the preferences expressed by the Congress in section 211(a) and will consult with State officials as appropriate, but will implement this section in a manner consistent with my constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations.

It's the heart of wildfire season in Florida, and more than 90 percent of the state is in a drought.
The rainy season doesn't really begin until late May and early June.
But Mr. Zierden points out that it's more than just rainfall that gets factored into a drought declaration.
"They [The National Drought Mitigation Center] take into account both short and long term rainfall deficits, various drought indices, stream flows, soil moisture, pasture and vegetation conditions.
The current situation is considered a "short term drought", since the abnormally dry pattern only dates back a few months.
A long term drought, such as the one that recently ended in California, develops after years of unusually low rainfall accumulation.
For example, the recent La Nina, which is a cool spell in the waters of the eastern Pacific Ocean, was a likely contributor to the warm and dry winter.
"In January that La Nina fell apart, so we're currently in neutral conditions in the Pacific Ocean.
Right now, there's really nothing to point to a wetter or drier rainy season this summer", said Zierden.
April and May are typically two of the driest months of the year in Florida, but average rainfall more than doubles from May to June in most locations.
