It is established in law that a Claimant in a breach of contract claim can recover only those losses which arise naturally from the breach and which could reasonably be supposed to have been in the contemplation of the parties at the time the contract was entered into. Any further losses would be too remote and irrecoverable. A recent Court of Appeal case has considered the extent to which property-related losses are recoverable and has held that losses arising from a fall in the market value of property are not too remote and are therefore recoverable.
In the case of John Grimes Partnership Ltd –v- Gubbins [2013] the Defendant obtained planning permission to develop a field for residential purposes and engaged the Claimant, an engineer, to make arrangements for a road and drainage on the site. It was expressly agreed that such work would be completed by the Claimant by March 2007. The deadline was not met and in April 2008 the Defendant engaged another engineer to complete the work.
The Claimant brought a claim against the Defendant for just under £3,000 of unpaid invoices. The Defendant disputed the claim and brought a counterclaim for almost £20,000 of fees that he had previously paid to the Claimant, claiming that the work had not been completed properly. The Defendant also claimed damages for the losses he suffered due to the work not having been completed by March 2007 as agreed. The Defendant's losses caused by the delay were a reduction in the market value of the residential properties and an increase in building costs. The Defendant was successful and the Claimant appealed but his appeal was dismissed.
The Claimant argued that the losses claimed due to a decrease in market value were too remote. It was held by the Court of Appeal that the losses were not too remote as, when entering into the contract, the Claimant knew that a delay would bring with it the risk that the property market may rise or fall and therefore the loss was reasonably foreseeable. The Court of Appeal also did not uphold the Claimant's case that such loss would be disproportionate compared to the contract price. It was held that this was not sufficient to escape responsibility.
The Court of Appeal did note that there may be circumstances where the general rule may not be followed, and this would be in such a case where the particular circumstances show that the parties when entering into the contract did not intend for the Defendant to be liable for a particular type of loss (even though that loss was reasonably foreseeable).
It follows therefore that contracting service providers should take particular care to carefully consider and ensure that any contract expressly excludes liability for particular types of loss. Otherwise they may become liable for 'foreseeable losses' which they did not foresee or contemplate at all.
We at Blacks can assist in the preparation of all forms of contracts and any disputes arising therefrom.

Ladies and Gentlemen, honored guests, protester standing silently at the back of the room with a bag on his head, thank you for coming here today.
It has been almost one year now since I made the difficult decision to immigrate to Canada and run for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. Since that time I have taken clear positions on difficult issues and I have taken difficult positions on clear issues. Unfortunately, many people do not seem to understand what I am talking about. If anyone is at fault here it is me; please bear with me Canada, I am used to teaching the advanced class.
I asked you to come here today so that I may clarify my statements concerning an earlier clarification about a statement I may or may not have meant to make.
As you may know earlier this year my summer vacation overseas was interrupted by a small war between Israel and Lebanon. The fact that my vacation was interrupted by this war is not in doubt. I have made myself unequivocally clear about this point.
After returning to Canada, during a frank discussion about the war, I stated that I was not losing sleep over civilian deaths in Lebanon. Some people wrongly interpreted this to mean that I was not losing sleep over civilian deaths in Lebanon. What I should have said at the time was this: I am not losing sleep over civilian deaths in Lebanon because I suffer from hysterical narcolepsy, a rare neurological disorder. Because of this condition it is not just civilian deaths that I sleep through, but sometimes entire movies and even midair turbulence. I hope now by admitting this condition I will not only clear up this unfortunate Middle East situation but also help the other half dozen of my fellow Americans who suffer from this disorder. For too long we have suffered in silence. Please visit www.hystericalnarcolepsy.org and learn more about this condition. Hysterical narcolepsy – the confusion is real.
In an effort to keep this story in the media during the coming weeks I have now decided to visit Israel for myself. I think you will agree that the crucial last days of a leadership race is the perfect time for a candidate to leave Canada.
When I return from my pilgrimage to the holy land I think you will see a refreshed and tanned Michael Ignatieff, one who is ready to tackle the job of running Canada for all of you. And when I say you, I mean the fishers, the farmers and the Mennonites that make this country strong.
I will tell you now what I told him then.
Like you I care about Canadian values and Canadian pastimes. I know what it's like to clear one's mind and enjoy the thrust and parry that is found in an exciting ice hockey game. In fact I don't mind admitting that I have always been, since the 1968 Trudeau leadership campaign in which I was a delegate, a supporter of the Toronto Maple Leafs. My support for the Leafs is something that is pure and true and can never be taken away from me. If there is political price to pay for such an admission I readily accept it. Mesdames et Messieurs, j'aime Les Canadiens. Les Leafs de Toronto sont gay! Vive les Sens! Vive les Sens libre!
I want to thank your for your time today ladies and gentlemen. And on a personal note I would like to thank the numerous people who have sent me letters and cards encouraging me during these recent dark, gaffe riddled days of the campaign. But let me tell you this. When I embarked on this adventure I knew it would not be easy. And when the going gets tough, when I think I cannot bear another conversation with another Canadian or another question about Bob Rae, I simply close my eyes and think of that great Canadian Terry Fox. And it is that image of Terry Fox courageously circling the globe in his wheel chair that gives me the courage to move forward.

Every commercial enterprise has a unique identity. Their identity is based on a wide variety of things. The factors range from something as large scale as the industry in which the enterprise functions to something as as minute as the source of raw materials. Depending on the exact profile of a commercial enterprise, its needs would also deviate. For instance, while one commercial enterprise will need a certain type of commercial air conditioning system, another might warrant a different type.
With the national and global economies in a volatile state, most commercial air conditioning are responsive to even the minutest of factors. This is why something as simple as the kind of this system you use in your offices can play a huge role in its long term long term future.
If you have been scouring for a professional air conditioning service then it is likely that you have come across various enterprise level soothing systems. However, in order to choose the right air conditioning system for your enterprise, you need recognize how the various systems differ. To this effect, the following should be of big help to you.
In terms of the mode of cooling and then the enterprise level systems, there are two kinds of. One type will be the fact of traditional systems which depend on radiation to affect the temperatures. These systems usually utilize a network of tubes and pipes which are embedded in the floors, walls and ceilings of the premises. The cooling occurs through cold water flowing through these pipes which take away the heat in the room.
The other type is associated with forced air systems, usually are common in the modern day enterprises. Scalping strategies use ducts to circulate air in premises. Sort of systems are the most common your past world today as radiant systems are slowly being phased out by virtue of selection.
Another approach to differentiate between various of this system is on the cornerstone of how many control panels they use and their inherent proportions. For instance, a head unit that has only a universal control panel would be called at least one zone from the system. On the other hand, a system that works in considerable area with the help of countless control panels would be known being a multiple zone for solar energy collection system.
The setting up multiple zone of these systems would end up with different zones can be placed at different temperatures as these people have very own control panels. This provides more flexibility on the enterprise and is, hence, preferred by medium to large scale enterprises.
Air conditioning systems additionally be differentiated on the basis of perhaps volume of air they operate on is constant or shifting. In this system, variable variety of air can be a major asset so it allows for greater associated with the temperatures inside the premises.
However, as variable cooling systems tend to be complex in nature, they turn out to be more. In fact, the more advanced an enterprise level associated with the is a lot expensive end up being be, therefore a certain level of compromise may be important for financial stability.

MOE sex-ed programme to advocate heterosexual marriages and nuclear family units in schools
By Coconuts Singapore Feb 28, 2019 | 3:35pm Singapore time

A sex education program endorsed by Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) is being questioned on Reddit for clearly advocating "healthy, heterosexual marriages" and "stable nuclear family units" in schools.
On the Singapore subreddit, an image of a letter dated Feb 13 was posted, apparently a consent form meant for parents and legal guardians of secondary school students to sign off on. The letter detailed the aims of MOE's Growing Years programme, which is part of its sex education curriculum. According to the MOE website, the programme will teach teens that abstinence before marriage is the best course of action to prevent sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies — a more conservative take that leans away from being okay with safe sex and responsible sexual behavior.
Though MOE insists that schools are not used as "arenas for advocacy on controversial issues", advocacy still exists, according to the letter. The programme will be standing strong on heterosexuality.
"(Sexuality Education) is premised on the importance of the family as the basic unit of society. This means encouraging healthy, heterosexual marriages and stable nuclear family units with extended family support."

It's not that surprising, of course, considering that's a long-held stance of the government for a long time. Singapore society still remains pretty divided over the issue of accepting LGBTQ relationships, and the government has not budged an inch about removing an archaic (but rarely enforced) law that criminalizes sex between men.
Redditors didn't take an approving view of the curriculum, deemed outdated by today's standards.

Biography – CANNIFF, WILLIAM – Volume XIII (1901-1910) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
CANNIFF, WILLIAM, physician, medical educator, author, school administrator, and civil servant; b. 20 June 1830 in Thurlow Township, Upper Canada, son of Jonas Canniff and Letitia Flagler; m. first 20 June 1857 Grace Hamilton (d. 1858), and they had a son; m. secondly 15 Sept. 1859 Elizabeth Foster (d. 1908) in Toronto, and they had six sons and a daughter; d. 18 Oct. 1910 in Belleville, Ont.
A grandson of late loyalist settlers on the Bay of Quinte, William Canniff grew up in relative affluence on the family farm north of Belleville. (His father and elder brothers also owned and operated a grist-mill and a sawmill.) As the youngest surviving child in a family of nine, he was able to persuade his Wesleyan Methodist parents to send him to Victoria College in Cobourg, after he had completed his primary education in local schools. In 1852 he enrolled in John Rolph*'s Toronto School of Medicine, where he would study under William Thomas Aikins* and Joseph Workman*. With medical education in transition from apprenticeship to formal classroom training, Canniff and his schoolfellows were encouraged to seek further clinical education in the United States during summer breaks and to continue their studies in Europe after qualifying to practise.
Following his successful examination by the Medical Board of Upper Canada on 2 Jan. 1854, Canniff attended the University of the City of New York, completed his medical degree, and served as a house-surgeon in New York until the spring of 1855. He studied next at St Thomas's Hospital in London, England, and qualified for membership in the Royal College of Surgeons of England later in 1855. Drawn to military medicine, he passed the examinations of the British army's medical board to obtain a commission as an acting assistant surgeon in the Royal Artillery. The end of the Crimean War in 1856 left him free to visit hospitals in Edinburgh, Dublin, and Paris. In 1857 he returned to Canada, married, and set up practice in the Belleville area.
After his wife's death from tuberculosis the following year, he agreed to join the teaching staff at Rolph's school in Toronto, which had become the medical faculty of Victoria College. Initially appointed an instructor in pathology, he quickly became a professor of surgery and one of the staff responsible for serving clients at the dispensary Rolph and his second wife had established in 1861. By late 1862, however, he found himself embroiled in conflict with Rolph over its use for clinical education and in March 1863 the 33-year-old teacher resigned under duress.
Canniff had remarried in 1859 and was now left without a secure economic base for his growing family. The outbreak of the American Civil War had led to his drilling with the militia during the Trent affair [see Sir Charles Hastings Doyle*]. But it was to the Army of the Potomac that Canniff, who had visited Northern field hospitals in 1862, turned following his resignation. In May 1863 he received a surgeon's commission with the army. His service was brief, however, for in June he resigned and returned to Belleville, to re-establish his practice. He subsequently published one of the first Canadian medical textbooks, A manual of the principles of surgery, based on pathology for students (Philadelphia, 1866); helped care for the wounded after the Fenian raid at Ridgeway in 1866 [see Alfred Booker*]; attended the International Medical Congress of 1867 in Paris, where he presented a paper on tuberculosis mortality among North Americans; and participated in the organizing meeting of the Canadian Medical Association in October of that year.
The early 1860s had witnessed the first stirrings of Canadian nationalism, and in 1861–62 Canniff had participated in attempts with George Coventry* and others to set up an Upper Canadian historical society. In the years that followed he completed the research and writing of his History of the settlement of Upper Canada (Ontario), with special reference to the Bay Quinte (Toronto, 1869), a project he claimed to have undertaken in 1862 at the instigation of the short-lived society. In this monumental study, Canniff's developing interests in loyalist history and "the future prospects of the Dominion" fused, producing a distinctly British Canadian sense of nationality. The Red River rebellion of 1869–70 [see Louis Riel*] led to his active involvement with his brother-in-law William Alexander Foster* in what would become the Canada First group. An ardent believer in Canada's northern destiny, Canniff helped organize Ontario's opposition to the murder of Thomas Scott* at Red River (Man.) and became president of the North West Emigration Aid Society in August 1870. This society pressured the federal government of Sir John A. Macdonald* for a dominion lands policy that would attract Ontario farmers to the west and ensure that it reflected the new national values. In 1872 Canniff published in Toronto his History of the province of Ontario . . . , which, like his history of Upper Canada, he dedicated to Macdonald. A year later, however, the literary surgeon assisted Foster in organizing the Canada First party as an antidote to partyism, an example of which was the Pacific Scandal. Canniff's pamphlet Canadian nationality: its growth and development (Toronto, 1875) was an impassioned plea for a pure Canadianism that would allow Canada to take its rightful place as an equal partner in the British empire.
In the medical field Canniff's generation of doctors had begun in the 1860s to develop a more professional approach to education and practice [see William Thomas Aikins]. Journals, societies, and alumni associations were established to promote cohesion among orthodox practitioners, whose status was being challenged by splinter groups such as homoeopaths and eclectics [see Robert Dick*]. Conscious of John Rolph's declining health and the imminent reestablishment of the medical faculty of Trinity College, which threatened his alma mater, Canniff returned to Toronto in 1868 to become professor of surgery and sub-dean of the medical faculty at Victoria. The following year he was appointed to the staff of the Toronto General Hospital and in 1870 he was made a consulting surgeon to the Toronto Eye and Ear Infirmary. When Rolph was forced to retire in 1870, Canniff was appointed dean. In spite of a dynamic program to construct a new school near the TGH, Victoria lost students, and the revenue it needed to survive, when many of its senior staff joined the rival Trinity Medical School. In 1874 Canniff's career as a medical educator came to an end with the mass resignation of the Victoria staff, after the trustees of Victoria declined to support the reorganization of the medical school as a joint-stock company. He nevertheless retained his consulting position at the TGH and continued to present medical papers and publish articles describing his cases.
Canniff displayed both progressive and reactionary responses to aspects of medical professionalization. As chairman of the medical section of the Canadian Institute in 1870–71, he had begun to campaign for federal, provincial, and municipal public-health legislation. Like other conservative surgeons, he openly expressed, in articles and addresses from at least 1868, his scepticism about the effectiveness of Listerian antisepsis. Such opposition did not prevent his colleagues from electing him president of the Canadian Medical Association in 1880. From this position Canniff continued his long-running efforts to obtain federal funding for the collection of urban mortality statistics, in emulation of British practice. He was rewarded in 1882 when the Macdonald government introduced conditional grants for this purpose. To qualify, cities had to have local boards of health and salaried health officers. Appointed Toronto's first permanent medical health officer on 12 March 1883, Canniff spent the next seven years slowly educating his fellow citizens in basic principles of sanitation and disease control. His efforts to modernize the city's sewer system and waterworks, regulate its food supplies, and promote vaccination and isolation of the sick threatened many vested interests, including those of medical colleagues [see Alexander Milton Ross*]. Disillusioned and frustrated, he resigned on 17 Sept. 1890, but not before he had made preventive work an integral part of urban life.
In addition to his work as health officer, Canniff continued to pursue his interests in Canadian history and military medicine. In 1884 he presided over the loyalist centennial celebrations at Adolphustown and Toronto and started to collect the material for his final major work, The medical profession in Upper Canada, 1783–1850. . . (Toronto, 1894). At the time of the North-West rebellion, in 1885, he joined the Sisters of St John the Divine in setting up a hospital in Moose Jaw (Sask.) to serve the wounded from Fish Creek – a group that included his eldest son, William Hamilton.
After his resignation from the medical officership, Canniff tried to rebuild his private practice but was unsuccessful as a result of the depression of the early 1890s and, presumably, his traditional approach to curative medicine. By July 1894, having failed to obtain a federal position as a quarantine officer, Canniff had left Toronto and was starting up in the Muskoka region. Family lore suggests that alcoholism contributed to his departure. In spite of these difficulties and increasing physical infirmity, Canniff had retained his interest in Canadian history. In 1893–94 he served as chairman of the Canadian Institute's historical section and in his keynote address of November 1893 he argued in favour of provincial funding for a museum to house artefacts of Ontario's past. He contributed an article on the rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada to John Castell Hopkins*'s Canada, an encyclopædia and sought republication of his Settlement of Upper Canada. Although the United Empire Loyalist Association of Ontario made him an honorary member in 1898, neither it nor the Ontario Historical Society had the money to support publication. Shortly after 1900 Canniff and his elder brother, Philip Flagler, returned to Belleville, where they lived together until William entered the newly opened House of Refuge in 1908. He died there two years later, leaving an estate valued at only $500.
William Canniff's story reflects some of the forces which shaped life in Ontario during the mid and late 19th century. His medical career demonstrates the growing importance of professional training and organizations, and the development of new areas of specialization, most notably public health. As a researcher and writer, he exemplifies the idealistic, visionary, and slightly naïve nationalism that characterized the confederation generation. Nevertheless, in the course of his historical work he preserved many important documents. In his history of Upper Canada he argued forcefully that "the importance of history cannot be questioned; the light it affords is always valuable, and, if studied aright, will supply the student with material by which he may qualify himself for any position in public life."

In addition to the works mentioned in the text, William Canniff's publications include The effects of alcohol upon the human system; an essay upon the cause, nature and treatment of alcoholism (Toronto, 1872); a second edition of the History of the province of Ontario (Toronto, 1874); "Fragments of the War of 1812: the Rev. George Ryerson and his family," Belford's Monthly Magazine (Toronto), 2 (1877): 299–308; and "An historical sketch of the county of York . . . ," Illustrated historical atlas of the county of York . . . (Toronto, 1878), v–xxii. Three reprints of the historical atlas have been produced: ([Toronto], 1969), (Belleville, Ont., 1972), and ([Port Elgin, Ont., 1975]). Canniff's History of the settlement of Upper Canada has been reprinted with an introduction by Donald Swainson as The settlement of Upper Canada (Belleville, 1971), and a reprint of his Medical profession in Upper Canada with a new introduction by Dr Charles G. Roland has been issued by the Hannah Institute for the Hist. of Medicine ([Toronto], 1980).
Reports by Canniff in contemporary medical journals include "Experience among some of the wounded who fell at the battle of Limestone Ridge, June 2nd," "Tuberculization in various countries and its influence on general mortality," and "Some remarks upon carbolic acid as a remedial agent in the treatment of wounds," in the Canada Medical Journal and Monthly Record of Medical and Surgical Science (Montreal), 2 (1865–66): 529–34 and 4 (1867–68): 97–101 and 307–11, respectively.

Title of Article: CANNIFF, WILLIAM


It's quite a day today with the rainy weather, so I thought I would post up a couple of images from a beautiful fall day.
Kayla and Andrew are planning an upcoming wedding this winter. We had a beautiful evening to go out and about for this engagement session, they are clearly in love and this session was a lot of fun to shoot.


What does Sky Blue mean in dream?
1. Depression, sadness and the ability to express it.
2. Freedom from worries and concerns.
3. Promotes healing, creativity, often spiritual and/or intellectual.
Points to faithfulness and deep emotions, but also to the desire for relaxation. It is the symbolic color of the soul, since blue also symbolizes the depth of the sea and the expanse of the sky. It also stands for the unconscious, as well as isolation, expanse, and infinity. It stands for pure, clear Water, distant mountains, and sky. Blue symbolizes nature that has been saved. Pay attention to the degree of brightness!
The color blue may also indicate fogginess (like drunkenness); see also Alcohol. It is also a symbol of depression ("I am feeling blue"). And last, but not least, a symbol of cold (particularly metallic blue).
Blue can also, as in the case of "blue mountains," symbolize the connection between heaven and earth— spirit and nature. Blue coats were worn by wise women, pointing to our connection to water, mist, and heaven.
In alchemy, blue is the color of the moon, standing in for silver, and blue is also the color of the soul.
As opposed to Red, blue indicates a soothing, cool state (in color therapy, blue is considered relaxing).
In the Orient, blue is the equivalent of black and is considered the color of the underworld.
In Egypt, the underworld of Osiris is depicted in blue or black.
The Sufi (a mystical circle, followers of Mohammed) saw blue as the center of a flame, the expression of the highest form of passion.
A reflection of blue as an expression of passion is also found in our culture in the phrases "the blue hour / ' and "blue movies"; also the "blues" in music.
Peace and happiness, especially in the form of a bird approaching you.
Light (sky) blue: The color of awakening, promise, spirituality, sincerity, hope, and new beginnings.
Dark, murky- blue: Depression or weariness.
Indicative of a type of hands-on labor (e.g., "blue-collar worker").
Faithfulness (e.g., being "true blue").
In Yoga, this is the color of the throat chakra, indicating matters of communication.
Among Hindus, the color that represents divine energy, especially that of Vishnu. Similarly, the abode of the gods is often depicted as blue.
Blue always has something to do with intellectual or spiritual events, insights, experiences, and mental processes. It is the opposite of the emotional red, because it is "cool" and "analytical." A soft, gentle blue is typically a female color. Blue is a symbol of the emodonal calm and contentment that we all would like to attain. It indicates that you live wisely and with compassion. Blue stands for intellectual goals and insight, faith, and spiritual maturity.
Color Therapy: Blue has antiseptic, cooling, and constricting qualities. It supports healing in case of hyperthyroidism, sore throat, inflammation, fever, ear infection, mental exhaustion, nervousness, high blood pressure, and anxiety.
If you see much of this colour in your dream, it is a sign of prosperity through other people.
Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness.
1. A message is trying to be communicated, often of a gossipy nature.
Dreaming of ripe, juicy berries is a good omen, representing good luck, pleasant surprises, abundance, prosperity and new beginnings.
If you dream that a person brings you berries, that person loves you and wants you to do well in life. Berries can also have a sexual meaning, and if you dream of eating them with (or receiving them from) someone you are crushing on, it suggests you have a strong attraction to that person.
If you dream of pigging out on berries, or particating in a berry-pie eating contest, you have a lustful nature that you need to keep under control.
1. Plans, details and preparations for any project or activity.
2. A need or desire for better planning regarding an upcoming project.
Reviewing the details of a blueprint may point to the plans that you are developing for some project in your life. You may need to take a closer look at the details before getting under way with your plans.
An outline of your goals and plans for the future.
The patterns of your life, the image shown being your conception of what you have built thus far, or that which you hope to build.
2. If the sky is blue, one is filled with hope.
Symbolic of separation, Gen 1:6.
A dark sky means trouble.
A clear sky means peace.
A red sky means judgment or war.
A purple sky can symbolize the second coming of Christ.
1- In dreams the sky can represent the mind. It can also signify our potential. Floating or flying in the sky can be ambivalent, since it can either mean trying to avoid the mundane, or exploring a different potential.
2- The sky signifies the unattainable. Whatever effort we make we can never make the sky tangible.
Frequently a masculine symbol. Both Hindus and Native Americans speak of "father sky" (see Men).
An alternative, higher level of awareness. Possibly a type of flying or ascent dream.
Symbol: The sky is the seat of heavenly beings who are greater than humans; it is the manifestation of transcendence, a symbol for the sacred order of the universe.
Vision: Looking at a cloudless, blue sky: your plans will be successful; it also means great joy in the near future.
A cloudy sky: worries, obstacles, or an uncertain future.
If you are looking at Stars: a great desire is being fulfilled.
To dream of looking up at the clear blue sky implies that your life is full of serenity, and you are open and able to speak your mind.
This is a fortunate dream unless you see heavy clouds.
whoever saw the sky's colour as white then there is in that [an indication of]: blessing and fertility.
If he saw it as green then it [means] good.
If he saw it as yellow then [means] disease & sickness.
If he saw it as red, then it [means] war & bloodshed.
If he sees it as black then it [means] famine & distress.
Material aspects: In dreams the sky can represent the mind and signify our potential. Floating or flying in the sky can be ambivalent, since it can either mean trying to avoid the mundane, or exploring a different potential.
Sunny skies denote happiness and prosperity, while cloudy or stormy skies foretell trouble ahead, perhaps family quarrels.
The day sky represents the ability to see clearly, while the night sky hints at things hidden from view.
The night sky, however, can also represent comfort and security.
To look up at the clear blue sky in your dream indicates peace and freedom of expression.
If the sky is cloudy and overcast, then it foretells of sadness and trouble.
Dreaming of a clear sky indicates an appreciation of culture and a desire to be with distinguished persons.
Dreams of sky diving signify a desire for extreme adventure.
If you feel excited, then you have a positive expectation about falling in love and taking risks in your business.
1. Willing to take a risk.
Symbolic of free-fall in life.
If you have a parachute it symbolizes a safe landing.
A pleasurable dream of skydiving - floating down gently in a parachute - signifies that you have protection and security during a time in which turmoil surrounds you.
To dream of using Skype suggests that you will be forced to confront issues which you have tried to avoid.
If you have technical problems with Skype in the dream, you must listen to your inner voice more closely for your life to move on the way it should.
Vision: A skyscraper is a symbol of emotional frustration; the building itself is a phallic symbol and related to sexual desires. Do you feel isolated? Do you feel you are walking through life as a nameless person? If a woman dreams about a skyscraper without windows: her partner is emotionally unavailable.
To dream of a skyscraper is a positive omen, predicting a life of luxury for you.
If you saw a skyscraper in ruins in yoru dream, this forewarns of problems in love or at school. It could also mean your self-confidence has suffered a blow.
To dream of whisky in bottles, denotes that you will be careful of your interests, protecting them with energy and watchfulness, thereby adding to their proportion.
To drink it alone, foretells that you will sacrifice your friends to your selfishness.
To destroy whisky, you will lose your friends by your ungenerous conduct. Whisky is not fraught with much good. Disappointment in some form will likely appear.
To see or drink it, is to strive and reach a desired object after many disappointments.
1. Need to deal with the anxiety in one's life.
2. Observing a great number of bottles of whisky indicates a desire for a wilder life.

Each year on Remembrance Day, we gather as Canadians across the country and commemorate the sacrifices made by our veterans with a moment of silence. November 11 is an opportunity to pay tribute to the many women and men in uniform who have served and continue to serve, to protect our rights and freedoms.
As we observe conflicts occurring in other countries across the world, may we be reminded and be grateful that we live in a diverse and tolerant country free from the ravages of war. We are fortunate to live in a country where we can raise our families in peace and safety. We owe a tremendous debt to those who sacrifice and often leave their own families behind so that we may enjoy the rights and freedoms denied to so many. We recognize that our lives as we experience them would not be possible without the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform.
We encourage all to join with the Board of Trustees as we attend our local Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11 and pay tribute to our veterans and those who serve today by remembering their courage, sacrifice and fortitude. Lest we forget.

MUSC joins in race to find COVID-19 vaccine
Bryce Donovan
As researchers from across the globe race to find a vaccine for the coronavirus, the Medical University of South Carolina has entered as a key player in that fight. Along with AstraZeneca and IQVIA, MUSC was selected to be part of a phase 3 trial of a vaccine that has shown promise in battling COVID-19.
"The science behind it looks good," said MUSC emergency medicine physician Gary Headden, M.D., who will be leading the trial. "So, I'd say I'm optimistic."
MUSC and Charleston will be part of the first wave of locations across the United States to test the vaccine. In total, manufacturers and researchers hope to enroll and collect data on 30,000 people across 20 cities in the U.S., with as many as 1,500 of those being from right here in Charleston.
For context: Once a pharmaceutical company thinks it has a promising vaccine on its hands, it begins clinical trials. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, these trials consist of three phases:
Phase 1, also referred to as initial human studies, is performed on small groups and focused on safety and the recipient's immune response to the vaccine.
Phase 2, which are usually administered on hundreds of people, are still focused on safety and fine-tuning the dosage and treatment regimen required.
Phase 3 typically enrolls thousands of individuals and focuses on the safety and efficacy (how well it works) in a population.
If successful, the manufacturer can then submit an application to the FDA for approval.
Because of the unique world we're living in, the U.S. government has implemented "Operation Warp Speed," which aims to deliver 300 million doses of a safe, effective vaccine for COVID-19 by January 2021. In other words, a process that often takes years is being compressed into mere months. To facilitate this process, the government is speeding up all aspects that can safely be sped up and is pumping billions of dollars into the pharmaceutical industry. AstraZeneca, the company that has manufactured the vaccine being tested at MUSC, received $1.2 billion alone.
According to Amanda Cameron, Trial Innovation Network manager at MUSC and a key figure in bringing the trial to the university, even with Operation Warp Speed in play, this is one of few phase 3 vaccine trials out there.
"For us to get to bring a trial here to MUSC is incredible, but the fact that it's one that researchers are optimistic about is even more exciting," she said.
Recently, Russia claimed to have a vaccine ready. U.S. researchers believe it has effectively only cleared phase 1, so to roll it out so quickly could prove to be reckless, Headden said.
This week, MUSC will go live with a webpage, officially opening the trial to applicants. The hopes are that soon thereafter, the study's first patients will be seen at the Clinical Sciences Building on MUSC's downtown campus. Several hundred have already expressed interest in participation, and MUSC clinical research manager Ashley Warden said the team would love to get as many people involved as possible.
"This is a really important research opportunity," Warden said. "We need to have a therapy that can bring this pandemic into control. It would be best that those that participate in this trial are representative of our region."
The trial – which will be double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled in a 2:1 ratio, meaning that for every two people who get the active vaccine, one will get the placebo – will require the participants to come in at Day 1 and Day 29 to receive their vaccines or the placebo.
Researchers and doctors hope each of these two visits will last about 90 minutes, during which time the participants will undergo a physical examination that includes having their medical histories reviewed, blood drawn for testing and a nasal swab test for COVID-19. The vaccine will then be administered.
All subjects will be monitored over a period of two years. During this time, those who show any signs of illness that could be due to COVID-19 will undergo additional testing. Compensation will be provided for participants' time.
"This is a big study with an aggressive time frame, which is expected of a trial of this importance," Headden said. "As for the science behind it, it's totally solid. Put it this way: I would let my family take this vaccine."

Below are some top ways to support me on any Christian author on their journey. Before I published my first book, I did not realize how much authors appreciated readers taking the time to publicly support them. Sure, I occasionally would mention a book I loved to a friend, but that was the extent of my support. But now being on the other side of the fence, I realize just how much it means when readers take a little extra time to offer their public support.
First and foremost, pray for me. As a Christian, I firmly believe in the power of prayer. I am what I am because someone prayed for me. So please pray for me.
Promote it on social media. A number of my friends have taken pictures of my book when it arrives in the mail or reading the book to their children and then posted them on Facebook or instagram. If you're on Twitter, you can also write a short recommendation with a link so others can purchase it. There is a link for my social media sites at the end of this post.
Buy the book as a gift for friends and family. Publishing houses keep track of every book sale. And each purchase is important to me.
Ask your local library and bookstore to carry the book. First check if they have the book (you can usually look it up online). And if they do not, next time you are at your library, personally request the book.
Feature me on your blog, podcast, or newsletter. If you (or a company you run) has a blog, podcast, newsletter, YouTube channel, or other content stream, make a point of interviewing me or your other author friend for it.
Donate the book to your local nonprofit organization (i.e., school, boys and girls club or children shelter).


This past week I hosted my very first Thanksgiving dinner. It was a blast. However, the next day I was sore from cooking in heels for six hours. Poor wardrobe choice. The food was great – although I could have certainly cooked a lot less of it. We had 12 adults and 4 children at dinner and I am pretty sure that I could have had 24 adults and we would have still had plenty of food. Oops. For this post, I wanted to jot down two of my favorite side dishes from the meal – Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Maple Porter Whipped Sweet Potatoes.
The roasted brussel sprouts were the surprise hit – guests politely took one or two to taste but I am pretty certain most had very low expectations. All around the table were murmurs of approval … hmm, these are pretty good! Actually, they are pretty good. Pretty great if you ask my 4 year olds. The roasted brussel sprouts are so easy and I got the basics of this recipe from the November issue of the North Carolina Our State magazine.
Preheat your oven to 450. Toss brussel sprouts with a little bit of olive oil. Spread on a cookie sheet. Season with sea salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 to 35 minutes – turn them over about halfway through the cooking time. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the peanuts and cook them until you can smell them! (I bought some cajun roasted peanuts at our local farmers market and they worked really well in this recipe.) Only cook the peanuts for a few minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the bacon to the pan and cook until crisp. Rough chop the peanuts and the bacon. Toss with roasted brussel sprouts and serve.
I love sweet potatoes – not only do they taste delicious but they really are one of those "power" veggies – so good for you!! I realize that everyone does not share my love for sweet potatoes but this recipe makes them taste extra-delicious.
In a large stockpot, boil potatoes until tender. Sweet potatoes should be started in cold water and then brought up to a boil. While boiling, reduce the maple syrup and beer until the liquid has been halved. This part is a little tricky. Bring the mixture up to a boil and try to maintain a steady simmer (almost boil) while the liquid thickens. You will know that your liquid is thick enough by putting a spoon in the liquid and then trying to draw a line down the back of the spoon – if you can see the mark your finger left through the liquid then your mixture has reduced enough.
Push the potatoes through a ricer if you have one. I don't have one yet but I have put it on my list to Santa. I really enjoy using a ricer for mashed potatoes – the potatoes come out far fluffier and you don't overwhip them. Add the stick of butter and the maple porter reduction. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

William Hendrick Foster (June 12, 1904 – September 16, 1978) was an American left-handed pitcher in baseball's Negro leagues in the 1920s and 1930s, and had a career record of 143–69. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. Foster was the much-younger half-brother of Rube Foster, a Negro league player, pioneer, and fellow Hall of Famer.

Early life
Foster was born in 1904 in Calvert, Texas. He had the same father as Rube Foster, who was a Negro league player, manager and owner. Rube Foster was a key figure in the founding of the Negro National League. Bill Foster's mother died when he was four years old, so he was raised by his grandparents in Rodney, Mississippi. He did not meet his older half-brother until he was a teenager.

Professional career
Foster played for the Memphis Red Sox in 1923 and 1924, the Chicago American Giants from 1925 to 1930—and again from 1932 to 1935 and in 1937—the Homestead Grays and Kansas City Monarchs in 1931, and the Pittsburgh Crawfords in 1936.

Foster played for Chicago American Giants teams that won the Negro National League pennant and the Negro League World Series championship in 1926 and 1927, the Negro Southern League pennant in 1932, and the Negro National League pennant in 1933. He was the player-manager of the team in 1930.

In 1926, Foster won 23 games in a row and 26 overall, but his most amazing performance came the last day of the playoffs to determine the Negro National League title. Needing to win both games of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Monarchs, Foster hurled complete game shutouts in both games of a doubleheader against Bullet Joe Rogan and the Monarchs, 1–0 and 5–0, to put the Giants in the World Series. Foster was the starting pitcher in Game 7 and Game 11 for the Giants, and he won both of his starts while facing Hubert Lockhart. In the former, he allowed four runs on eight hits in nine innings of work, while in the latter he threw a complete game shutout despite allowing ten hits.

In 1931 Foster, as a pitcher for the Homestead Grays, recorded a 10–2 record against rival African-American teams. His record against rival African-American teams increases to 11–3, if you count the games that were won and lost in Alcorn, Mississippi, when Syd Pollock's Cubans House of Davids visited Alcorn College prior to Foster joining the Grays. Foster finished the 1931 campaign with J. L. Wilkinson's Kansas City Monarchs where on October 4, 1931 he blew his fastball past a major league all-star team composed of such legendary men as Babe Herman, Joe Kuhel and both Waner brothers, Lloyd and Paul.  In the game played at Kansas City's Muehlebach Field, Foster captured a 4–3 win. During the 1931 season, Foster struck out ten men in a game on nine occasions and posted a seasonal high of 16 strikeouts in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, on August 6. He also recorded four shutouts. Foster finished 1931 with a 23–5 record.

He was the top vote getter and the winning pitcher in the first East-West All-Star Game in 1933, and was on the All-Star team again in 1934.

Foster's pitch selection included a fastball, overhand curve, slider, sidearm curve, and a changeup.

Baseball people often characterized Foster as one of the game's great players. Umpire Jocko Conlan said Foster had "the same perfect delivery of Herb Pennock, but was faster by far, with a sharp curve, and had what all great pitchers have – control." Charlie Gehringer once told Foster, "If I could paint you white I could get $150,000 for you right now." Negro league player and manager Dave Malarcher favorably compared him to Negro league legend Satchel Paige, saying, "Bill Foster was my star pitcher, the greatest pitcher of our time, not even barring Satchel."

Later life
After retiring from professional baseball in 1936, Foster moved to Tarboro, North Carolina, where his childhood sweetheart Thelma Quigless lived. He also played semiprofessional baseball in 1940 in nearby Princeville. Foster and Quigless were married in 1941. Foster took a job in insurance policy sales with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. He later divorced Quigless.

Foster married again and returned to Mississippi. From 1960 to 1977, Foster was a dean and the baseball coach at his alma mater, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1978, Foster died in Lorman, Mississippi.

Legacy
The Foster Baseball Field at McGowan Stadium in Lorman, the home field for Alcorn State baseball, is named for him.

Foster was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. He was elected to the Southwestern Athletic Conference Hall of Fame the next year. In 2003, he was voted in to the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.
