Der Lachine-Kanal (, ) ist ein Kanal in der kanadischen Provinz Québec. Er beginnt im Lac Saint-Louis bei Lachine, durchquert den südöstlichen Teil der Île de Montréal und endet nach 14,1 km im alten Hafen von Montreal. Der Kanal wurde in den 1820er Jahren erbaut, um die Lachine-Stromschnellen im Sankt-Lorenz-Strom umfahren zu können. Heute wird er überwiegend touristisch genutzt, seit 1929 ist er als National Historic Site of Canada klassifiziert.

Geschichte
Im Jahr 1689 plante die französische Kolonialregierung erstmals den Bau eines Kanals, um die gefährlichen Lachine-Stromschnellen zu umgehen, da diese den durchgehenden Schiffsverkehr zu den Großen Seen stark behinderten. Das Projekt scheiterte, ebenso mehrere Nachfolgeprojekte in den folgenden Jahrzehnten. Montrealer Geschäftsleute, die aufgrund des im Bau befindlichen Eriekanals wirtschaftliche Nachteile befürchteten, gründeten 1821 ein Konsortium. Die Bauarbeiten waren vier Jahre später abgeschlossen. Der Kanal besaß sieben Schleusen und diente hauptsächlich dem Gütertransport.

Montreal entwickelte sich in der Folge zu einem bedeutenden Hafen und dem Lachine-Kanal entlang siedelten sich zahlreiche Industriebetriebe an. Schon bald erwies sich der Kanal als zu klein, so dass er in den Jahren 1843 bis 1848 erweitert werden musste. Anstatt wie bisher sieben Schleusen gab es nun fünf. Eine zweite Erweiterung des Kanals folgte zwischen 1873 und 1884. Da der Sankt-Lorenz-Strom auch an anderen Stellen ausgebaut worden war, konnten ozeangängige Frachtschiffe nun vom Atlantik bis zum Lake Superior verkehren, was neben dem Eisenbahnbau die wichtigste Voraussetzung für die Erschließung der westlichen Provinzen war.

Bis in die 1950er Jahre hinein konnte der Kanal erfolgreich betrieben werden. Dann aber erwies er sich angesichts des wachsenden Transportvolumens und der größer werdenden Schiffe erneut als zu klein. Aufgrund der beengten Platzverhältnisse konnte er kein weiteres Mal erweitert werden. Nach der Eröffnung des Sankt-Lorenz-Seewegs im Jahr 1959 verlor der Kanal stark an Bedeutung und wurde schließlich 1970 geschlossen. Acht Jahre später gelangte er in den Besitz von Parks Canada. Im Rahmen eines Stadterneuerungsprojekts wurde der Lachine-Kanal 2002 wiedereröffnet und für Freizeit- und Tourismuszwecke freigegeben.

Disneyland Shuts Down Cooling Towers After Legionnaires' Cases
Filed Under:Disneyland, Legionnaires' disease
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Disneyland has shut down two cooling towers after people who visited the Southern California theme park came down with Legionnaires' disease.
A dozen cases of the bacterial lung infection were discovered about three weeks ago, the Orange County Health Care Agency announced Friday.
The patients, ranging in age from 52 to 94, lived or had spent time in Anaheim, and nine had visited Disneyland in September. One patient, who hadn't visited the park, has died, the agency said.
Phone Scam Uses Jury Duty Ruse To Rip People Off
There haven't been any new cases linked to Anaheim since September, the agency said.
"There is no known ongoing risk associated with this outbreak," the agency said.
Legionnaires' disease can be spread through inhaling droplets from contaminated water sources. While many people have no symptoms, it can cause serious pneumonia and prove dangerous to those with lung or immune system problems.

The disease can be treated with antibiotics.

Disneyland was informed of the Anaheim cases on Oct. 27 and after testing found that two cooling towers had elevated levels of Legionella bacteria. The towers were taken out of service Nov. 1, disinfected, went back in operation on Nov. 5 but were shut down again Tuesday and will remain offline until tests confirm they are free from contamination, according to the park and the county health agency.
Cooling towers are evaporative systems that provide cooled water for various uses such as refrigeration but not for drinking water. The towers are not in public areas.
Orange County has had more than 55 reported cases of Legionnaires' disease this year and the number of cases has increased in recent years both in the county and nationally, according to the health care agency.

And am getting errors about void, parenthesis, etc. What is the right syntax?
I know about vectors but I just want to know how it would be done this way.

A: If you insist on using raw pointers for some reason, or you're just curious, the syntax is:
void (**funcs)() = new (void(*[100])());

But seriously, just use std::vector:
std::vector<void(*)()> vec;

AI startup Owkin and Amgen have announced the results of a three-year project to use artificial intelligence to more accurately predict cardiovascular risk. This study demonstrates the ability of AI to improve the way that clinicians predict patients' risk of suffering major cardiovascular events, such as strokes and myocardial infarctions.
Using data from 13,756 patients who were part of FOURIER, a large Amgen clinical trial, Owkin trained a machine-learning algorithm to predict those at higher risk of cardiovascular events. Published in the upcoming December issue of the European Heart Journal – Digital Health, the results show that machine learning is more efficient and effective than the statistical models routinely used by clinicians.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Europe, responsible for 45% of all deaths. It represents a considerable economic burden, costing an estimated €210 billion in the European Union alone. By better predicting which patients will suffer major cardiovascular events, we can now drastically improve both patient outcomes and efficiency.
By improving the ability to predict cardiovascular events, clinicians are better able to prevent them. Identifying at-risk patients sooner will allow them to benefit from better care, adapted to their individual risk profile. Thus, identified patients will benefit from better follow-up and therapeutic management adapted to their risk level. With electronic medical records being more complete and prevalent than ever before, the use of machine learning to better predict cardiovascular risk could have wide application.
For five years, Owkin and Amgen have been collaborating on projects across cardiology, hematology and oncology to develop clinical applications for artificial intelligence. Last month, Owkin became a 'unicorn' – a startup valued at over $1 billion – through a $180 million investment from Sanofi, which was announced alongside $90 million of joint cancer research projects.
Jean-Frédéric Petit-Nivard, SVP Commercial & Product Strategy at Owkin, said:
"We are delighted that our collaboration, which began in 2016, has yielded compelling scientific results that could fundamentally improve patient monitoring and treatment. We look forward to continuing this project with Amgen to translate these scientific findings into clinical applications."
Adrien Rousset, Head of Augmented Diagnostics at Amgen, said:
"After more than 3 years of collaboration, we are very proud to have our results recognized and published in a prestigious scientific journal for cardiologists worldwide. We hope that this work will contribute to the next generation of tools that will help in saving more lives."
Dr. Marc S. Sabatine, the Lewis Dexter, MD Distinguished Chair in Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said:
"This project has allowed us to explore the value of Machine Learning for cardiovascular risk prediction and gain important insights into the use of clinical data."

The company began to use blockchain to link business buyers of energy – companies that buy electricity – directly with the producer, after striking a deal with Elering, one of Estonia's independent electricity and gas system operators. The idea was to use energy 'tokenisation' – by linking energy consumption and production data to the blockchain, in an attempt to digitise the country's energy sector. Now the pilot project is yielding its first results.
Over the past few months, WePower uploaded 26,000 hours and 24 TWh of energy consumption data to the blockchain. It connected its blockchain-based energy trading platform and Elering's data exchange system that gives central access to the country's smart meter data. In the process, WePower created 39 billion smart energy tokens.
But what problem do Elering and WePower actually hope to solve in Estonia by using tokenisation?
So WePower decided to make energy data available – and even to enable people to share their energy meter data with service providers. "Estonia is a good piloting country, with 100 per cent smart meter coverage," says Georg Rute, Elering's digitalisation development manager.
The sensitive nature of energy data has been a roadblock for innovators, developers and engineers interested in building new solutions. "Blockchain provides the necessary trust for data sharing and creates liquidity as well as accountability between energy buyers and producers," says Martyniuk. In other words, blockchain makes it easier for people to trade on the renewable energy trading platform that connects energy buyers directly with energy producers, giving people and companies a possibility to decide what green energy project to buy from, "hour by hour - token by token," says Martyniuk.
Although blockchain could in principle be used for any type of energy – or other transactions – WePower is focusing on renewables, allowing its platform to connect the grid, local energy exchange markets and the end users of energy. "The cryptocurrency and tokenisation approach is offered as an alternative to a more traditional renewable energy power purchase agreement," says Stephen Woodhouse, chief digital officer at Pöyry, an international consulting company that focuses on energy, industry and infrastructure. The trial itself is an attempt to understand the limits of this approach. If it is successful and lots of energy is traded using the platform, then the blockchain project might be scaled up, potentially to create an energy exchange or to facilitate peer-to-peer trading.
There is an incentive to increase the number of energy applications using blockchain: it helps to decentralise the grid for more and more distributed energy resources, which are largely renewables. "Blockchain as a technology can provide an alternative way to manage the increasingly more decentralised system," says Wang. In other words, companies can select the clean energy projects – say, wind or solar – they want to buy energy from, and build their own renewable energy portfolio without facing huge legal and financial structuring costs or a long and resource-intensive process.
The other concern is that the regulatory landscape in energy changes fast, he adds, making it difficult for public blockchain to get adapted "because there is no effective governance system. Private blockchain solves some of these issues but ultimately falls back to a system where you have to trust the central authorities, not the blockchain itself." Blockchain, it seems, is still a technology in search for a real-world application.

It's taken far too long, but I've finally made up a page with some of the good pictures from the wonderful race in Valdese, NC. This is a hidden treasure of a race, with a really nice pool swim (traffic only one lane in each direction), an indescribably hilly bike course, and a pretty flat run. What makes it so special is the town support, culminating in a lovefest of an awards ceremony over a communal barbeque lunch.
I had many clients and girlfriends at the race, and to a woman, each won an age-group or category award. Personally, I learned that working on volume doesn't necessarily dull speed (what little speed I have), and that pushing the bike is an advantage. My bike time was about a minute faster than last year (despite a misstep, see below) and my run was exactly the same time I ran in 2006, so the run didn't seem to suffer from forcing the bike. In fact, I was the fastest woman there (which underscores the size and beginner-friendliness of the race), so now I can say I've won a race.
Yes, I managed to miss a turn on the bike course, but happily rectified the mistake within :30 when the sheriff hollered at me. Some others weren't so lucky; Paul W., who's pictured in the second photo on the page, went a few miles off course but enjoyed watching his twelve-year-old son Matthew do well. Matt has an awesome tri bike and rides it like a pro! We met them at the 2005 race, when Matthew was ten and just getting into the sport. A lovely family. Also pictured is Christy K., another Valdese/race circuit friend, with the most comment-worthy bike of the race, which took its maiden voyage up and down those hills. The last pictures show Robyn and Rachel of Tri to End Homelessness, with their little sister Holly and her fast friend from Asheville, as well as me, Katy B., and my yoga student/newest client Ruffin P. Can you tell we are happy, if a little stinky and under-made-up?
Two other images stand out, but I didn't get them with the camera. One was our lovely young waitress at Fatz Café in Morganton. (Eating the Fatz "rolls," which are really doughnuts, has become a three-year tradition, just like the race itself. I stuck with my own tradition of drinking a draft beer; Wes would agree that Whispering Peaks [a.k.a. Pounding Headache] cabernet is not a wise choice, even at the bargain price of $10 a bottle, and even if it's your birthday. "You have no idea how hungover I am," he told me at the finish line. Still, he took over twelve minutes off his time from the year before, when he had a calf cramp and chose to lie on someone's lawn till it passed.) The waitress wore a rubber bracelet with her daughter's name on it and explained she never took it off—"Except when I tan." The other was the lobby of the Sleep Inn, full of people eating the continental breakfast. There were obviously two big groups staying at the hotel: one was the triathletes, and the other a band of Mennonites, the men in beards and the women in bonnets.

Leon County Unemployment Rate at 2.5%, Below Pre-COVID Number
By Staff on June 29, 2022 5 Comments
The latest jobs report shows that there were 153,650 people working in Leon County in May, which is basically unchanged from the 153,645 people working last month.
The May unemployment rate came in at 2.5%, up from the 2.4% reported last month.
One year ago, the May 2021 unemployment rate was 4.1%. In May 2019 – before the impact of the COVID pandemic – the unemployment rate was 3.0%.
Due to the COVID pandemic, job comparisons are not as meaningful when using data from the COVID time frame. Therefore, the Leon County Jobs Report, provided below, includes job data before the onset of the pandemic.
The number of people working in May 2022 was 5,708 more than those working in May 2019.
The May 2022 labor force – those looking for jobs – came in at 157,617, which is 5,165 greater than the number reported in May 2019.
The chart below shows the monthly level of jobs in Leon County over the last 37 months with a 12-month average trend line. The highlighted numbers relate to employment levels for the month of May back to 2019.

Great info. Thanks.

A count of how many open positions there are in Leon county would be helpful. I still see help wanted signs all over town and this report says only 5 jobs were add in of May 2022.
It's not just the unemployment numbers, but also the total employed. this shows that there are more people working in Leon County now, so the slackers aren't being well represented and probably are meaningless at this point.
@ Pat I feel you are correct about the slakers having been dropped from the unemployment %'s.

Pat A. says:
I think the members of the community that do not want to work are not included in the study but I could be wrong.


I've met a number of people who think if they put their mind to it, they can start trading stocks in their spare time and make some money from it. They see benefits like being able to work comfortably from home using only a computer and Internet connection, not needing years of schooling in difficult subjects, and possibly making as much money as a typical full-time job. It's true that any individual can easily sign up for a trading account and take a shot at earning money, so why not try it?
Now if this is what you think, then I have bad news for you. From my own reading and investment experience, I assure that the odds of success are stacked heavily against you. The system is practically set up to encourage you to gamble and lose money, and you'd be a fool to ignore the warnings and continue on.
Firstly, day trading implies interacting in the field of finance. This is a technical field that has its own set of terminology and concepts, and also requires modest mathematical skills. Just like how you cannot be a doctor without knowing medical terms and concepts, you can't be an effective trader without understanding the concepts behind what you are doing. For example if you are buying a bond, you should understand that at the basic level it represents a piece of debt with a fixed payment schedule. Digging deeper, you should understand bond concepts like coupon, yield, face value, credit rating, default, and so on. Learning these financial concepts is non-trivial because there are many of them, and some can have long explanations and subtle catches. If you think you can start trading without understanding these, you are already setting yourself up for failure. But if you can overcome at least this hurdle, then good for you – you are now able to understand what's going on and be able to think things through (instead of blindly playing with numbers and money).
Public news is worthless for making effective trade decisions. The efficient-market hypothesis is a widely held belief that states that the price of a security (stock, bond, etc.) already reflects all the public information known about it. For example, if an oil company just discovered new resources (which is considered a good thing), then its price will rise – but in reality, its price will have already risen by the time the news article reaches you, which means you would be too late to profit from the news. To consistently beat other traders/investors in the market, you need to have exclusive information – faster or better in quality – that they don't have. Since public news is out of the question, this implies one of two things: you either need private information from the company in question (which is generally illegal – see insider trading and generally confidential proprietary information), or you need to guess and make up information from thin air (and your guess needs to be better than your competitor's guesses). As you can see, all 3 sources of information – public news, insider information, and guessing – have serious drawbacks; as a result, you are unlikely to make effective trades solely based on information.
Market timing doesn't work, and expert forecasts are unhelpful. As a corollary to the EMH, it means stock prices are always correct and fair, every day, every minute. If you buy something because you expect its price to go up in the future, it would be a mistake to attribute your expectation to intuition or common sense – your expectation is based on mere belief, because anything that is a fact is already reflected in the security price. Even if your beliefs are right sometimes, they can be wrong just as often (related to "confirmation bias" in the next paragraph). As a side note not strictly related to trading, this means you should buy/sell things because you need them, not because you expect prices to change – for example, if you need to buy US dollars for a trip to the US, then do it near the date of travel rather than far in advance, because you have no power to predict whether the exchange rate will go up or down. Now, not only are your own beliefs unreliable, but even forecasts made by financial/economic/business experts (as you would see on TV business news) are unreliable. Yes, these experts can tell an accurate picture of the economy as a whole – such as the GDP growing by 1%, or a trend towards buying gold – but their statements are worthless for the sake of trading. These forecasts are a mixture of public news and mere guessing, which is not information that you can profit from. They also have a tendency to contain vague qualitative statements that can't even be judged true or false after the fact – e.g. "Europe as a whole could face a severe recession next year and have consequences for the rest of world"; how do you even interpret that rigorously?
These irrational behaviors take a bit of reading and serious thinking to understand, but truly recognizing them in real life is much harder than it sounds. When learning about these behaviors, the examples are purposely contrived and quite clear-cut. In reality when you're trading, the situation is ambiguous and the information incomplete, and it's hard to recognize personal biases and irrational behavior on the spot. (It's a bit easier to recognize them in hindsight, but by then it's too late.) After seeing this partial list of human cognitive flaws, it's not hard to conclude that as a trader, your worst enemy is yourself – namely the fact that your intuitions and instincts deceive you into making illogical, bad choices.
Institutional investors are big, powerful players in the financial markets. For example, these are organizations that control a mutual fund, pension fund, hedge fund, university endowment fund, etc., each with assets in the billions of dollars. When institutional investors make investment decisions, they do it with expertise and influence. They employ professionals who are trained in finance and have experience working in the field; they employ people whose job is to monitor prices, analyze trends, and find non-obvious facts about the world. Because of their large size, they can negotiate discounts and special deals with sellers; moreover, they can buy smaller companies outright and revamp their management for better profitability. You, as an individual investor, have none of these advantages.
In addition to humans, computer programs also participate in trading. Modern computers are spectacularly cheap and powerful, and a single computer can easily do a billion calculations per second. A program running on a computer can analyze millions of data points in thousands of stocks a second, and have sophisticated algorithms to find patterns, all backed by knowledge from decades of academic and corporate research. Moreover, these programs can react to fluctuating prices, incoming orders, and financial news on a millisecond-by-millisecond basis. The people who write these programs are well-versed in finance and computer science/programming, and they are highly paid for this work. I know this almost firsthand because my friends and I been contacted by recruiters from such algorithmic trading companies, and we've seen typical salaries for these positions in the neighborhood of 100 000 USD per year. Now, coming back to you – as a human trader who has a limited capacity to read, analyze, and remember information, and has a reaction time measured in seconds or minutes, how can your level of speed and expertise possibly compete against god-like algorithms designed by incredibly smart specialists?
To hit the point home, here's a real scenario: Suppose we're talking about foreign currency exchange, and you want to find arbitrage opportunities. Let's say that 1 CAD = 0.9721 USD, 1 USD = 0.6879 EUR, and 1 CAD = 0.6513 EUR. Did you notice that if you convert CAD to USD to EUR, you get 1 CAD ≅ 0.6687 EUR, which is a better rate than the direct conversion? Okay, maybe that was too easy, maybe that only took a few seconds on your pocket calculator. But a computer would have already beaten you to the discovery – if we're looking at conversion chains of length 2, then a computer will have found this arbitrage in literally microseconds. To make things worse for your hand calculation, the world has about a hundred currencies, and you will need to explore arbitrages that have a path longer than length 2, both making your task immensely more difficult.
The world has plenty of businesspeople who profit from your ignorance and gullibility. Whether it's selling you a lemon (defective car) or signing you onto a cell phone contract with surprisingly high fees, the field of finance has its predators too. There are people, companies, infomercials, and web sites that will show you large amounts of praise for a single concept like penny stocks, dividend aristocrat stocks, gold bullion, hidden secrets in the energy sector, speculative bonds, complicated derivatives, subtle forms of tax evasion, special real estate, you name it. For the most part, you can assume these schemes are ineffective, illegal, or both. If it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true. Another example, more modestly, is a salesman who persuades you to buy a venture fund and touts the benefits but fails to inform you that it is a high-risk investment, when you were hoping to invest in a more stable fund. In general, as a newbie trader you are most vulnerable to falling for one of these schemes/scams, because you want to take action but you don't have a refined sense of right and wrong. When in doubt, ignore the solicitations and keep your money to yourself.
The more often you trade, the more your brokerage wins. Individual retail traders like you and I have to go through a broker, and the broker charges commission fees for each completed trade (usually in the range of 10 USD). Whether you're making money or losing money on a trade, you still have to pay the commission cost, making your broker richer no matter what. This would explain why brokerage firms offer free resources to encourage you to trade more – things such as tutorials on investing, market news, and historical price data. There are also securities/products that have no direct commission fee, such as foreign currency exchange and over-the-counter fixed income products (bonds, GICs, etc.). However in these cases, the transaction fees are embedded within the bid-ask spread of the prices.
If after reading my arguments you still think you can succeed, you can go try a stock simulator game. There you will get to learn firsthand what it's like to trade stocks, as well as all the activities that accompany it: figuring out how to do market research, deciding when the price is right, spending time checking your stocks every day or every hour, reading company reports, etc. Hopefully you will discover that your decisions are right about as often as they are wrong, that you can't ensure that you make a profit, and that checking prices and researching news/companies requires a lot of time and skill.
In light of all the negative points expounded above, what can you do as an individual investor?
Understand the balance between risk and reward. If you want more returns from investment, you need to take on more risk. Consciously choose a level of risk that is acceptable to you, and stick to your plan.
Understand what you're putting money into, both the company and the product. If you have no clue about where the revenue of company FooBar comes from, or what it means to sell futures contracts, then don't invest in it. And don't play with options trading unless you understand the calculus and differential equations behind the Black-Scholes model.
Understand the costs of investing – brokerage commission fees, account fees, fund management fees, front/back-end loads, tax rates and categories, etc.
Diversify your holdings to reduce risk and protect against volatility. Favor buying index funds (especially ETFs) instead of the stocks and bonds of individual companies.
Invest for the long run. In a world dominated by breaking news and fast algo-trading, it is still a valid strategy to buy reasonable companies/bonds, hold them for years without trading them, and let the profits roll in. Note that this is a legitimate "get rich slowly" scheme, where "slowly" means 5 to 50 years.
Don't panic when the markets crash. Don't even check your stock prices every day – why put yourself through the emotional burden of continually doubting your choices? Checking once per quarter should be more than enough.
Finally, invest in yourself – specifically your special skills. If you have a passion for art, spend more time making things. If you're a scientist, do more exploration. If you run a business, figure out the next step for improvement. Don't worry too much about financial investment, because it's probably not your occupation. Do what you're good at, and bring value to the world.

Most of us knew Lyndon Banes Johnson as "LBJ" -- the tall man with the Texas accent who reluctantly assumed the responsibilities as the 46th president of the United States following the assassination of John Kennedy. Some of us remember him addressing the nation, looking like a sad hound dog, regretting that more American soldiers had died in the Vietnam War -- a conflict that divided the nation between Democrats and Republicans, between the old and the young and between the rich and the poor.
"An oilman drills a well that costs $100,000. He finds a reservoir containing $10,000,000 worth of oil. The well produces $1 million worth of oil per year for ten years. In the very first year, thanks to the depletion allowance, the oilman could deduct 27.5 per cent, or $275,000, of that $1 million in income from his taxable income. Thus, in just one year, he's deducted nearly three times his initial investment. But the depletion allowance continues to pay off. For each of the next nine years, he gets to continue taking the $275,000 depletion deduction. By the end of the tenth year, the oilman has deducted $2.75 million from his taxable income, even though his initial investment was only $100,000."
John Kennedy had his personal demons. He was addicted to IV "meth" (methamphetamine) and steroids because of his severe back pain and chronic Hodgkins disease. He was also a womanizer. He had many affairs while a Senator and these were well documented by J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover, who had his own sexual demons (he was a closet homosexual), was himself blackmailed by organized crime and big oil interests into threatening the Kennedys with exposure of JFK's sexual activities unless he allowed Johnson a place on his ticket. Hoover played his card and the Kennedys reluctantly folded.
According to Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, both Bobby and John Kennedy were extremely upset about the decision.
In the room at the Biltmore Hotel... they were huddled together closely, on the bed, discussing about LBJ... Bobby would get, look out the window and stare. John would sit there and think. It was an intense 30 minutes... How to maneuver to get it so he (Johnson) wouldn't be on the ticket..."
It was blackmail... the malicious rumors were fed to LBJ by J. Edgar Hoover about his (Kennedy's) womanizing... LBJ and Hoover had boxed him into a hole."
It was a short lived victory for LBJ. Johnson has been on the top of the heep as a Texas senator. But as Vice-President, he was demoted to cutting ribbons and performing ceremonial tasks around the globe. His huge ego was limited to handing out pens with his autograph printed on them but his autthority was severely limited. Once, while traveling to Scandinavia, the US embassy sent an uncoded telegram, for all eyes to read, warning that anything Johnson said should not be taken as representing the views of the American government. This kind of humiliation accelerated the hostility of Johnson for the Kennedys and drove him to take action.


Swap the traditional pregnancy photo shoot for a unique underwater experience. Resting weightlessly in the arms of the dad-to-be, supported by the water, your underwater maternity portraits will be stunningly special.
Maternity portraits in a swimming pool, cenote or elsewhere: Pool photo shoots have the advantage of a totally safe location and pleasant temperatures. If you feel more daring, we can do an underwater session in a Riviera Maya cenote (Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Tulum) or even in the sea, on the shore of one of our magnificent local beaches.
- Can babies be taken underwater?
- Yes. This can be done early in the baby's life, and in fact, it has many benefits .
If you've already started playing with and putting your baby in the water, we can create fantastic baby and parent photographs. The only thing to take into account is that babies get cold quicker than adults, so their sessions need to be shorter. However, this gives us extra time to take some photos of the parents alone in the water.
Whether it's in a pool, in the sea or in a Riviera Maya cenote, your parent and child portraits will be incredible.
Take a look at the cenote Trash the Dress session that we did with Mariana and her husband. Their 8-month-old son was in the water twice for just a few minutes and we ended up with a wonderful family portrait : Baby underwater portraits in a cenote.

Many older people resort to memory supplements or brain supplements, hoping these will restore their memory function. However, memory failure is not confined to the elderly. It may be a symptom of vitamin deficiency, alcohol, or drug abuse or even the onset of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to being a cause for health worries, the condition can make life quite difficult and is just plain embarrassing.
Health food stores are full of memory supplements containing herbal ingredients like ginkgo, ginseng, water hyssop, and periwinkle, all claiming to be able to improve memory performance. In addition, research suggests that taking vitamins may also be an excellent way of improving memory or retarding memory decline as you age.
Every month seems to bring a new wonder drug, memory pill or brain booster in the herbal cures area, and some of these have been studied, and they appear to have some effect. Ginkgo biloba, for example, has been found to increase blood circulation in the brain. However, claims are made for many herbal supplements without any real evidence that they do any good.
Anti-oxidant vitamins that have a retarding effect on the aging process, as vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, can help keep brain and memory function at an optimal level. They may also help increase the blood circulation to the brain, ensuring a good oxygen supply for maximum performance.
Sometimes it is possible to buy all-in-one memory supplements to avoid having to purchase and swallow many different kinds of pills. However, anyone considering buying memory supplements should read first and be aware of what they are taking, along with any possible side effects. Consulting your doctor is always important, as memory failure may be a symptom of an underlying health problem that he could treat. Additionally, some supplements can interact with other medications.
In addition to taking memory vitamins and supplements, small lifestyle changes may also benefit the mind and memory. The diet should be as healthy as possible, with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruit and oily fish, and very little alcohol. Exercise is excellent for the brain, sending oxygenated blood and nutrients to the head and generally improving function. In addition, the brain enjoys and benefits from mental exercise, such as crossword puzzles, Sudoku, chess, and quizzes. Strategies such as writing down all reminders in a small notebook or on a wallboard can also help with life's day-to-day memory problems.
Brain Supplements: Can they help?


WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Being a beacon for growth in southeastern North Carolina is a goal for New Hanover County, and according to NHC Board of Commissioners Chairman Jonathan Barfield Jr., the county is succeeding.
Barfield delivered the state of the county address on Monday night and called New Hanover "the economic engine" and leader of the region.
Barfield noted that he looks forward to what's in store for the county in 2019, including a new library in the Pine Valley area, a new fire station in Ogden and the development of Project Grace.
The chairman also promised there would not be a tax increase for county residents.

Purvi Patel investigated cloud-based energy dashboard systems for AT&T.
AT&T enlisted the help of Purvi Patel to analyze the potential of installing cloud-based energy dashboard systems at 600 AT&T locations.
After creating a database of discrete asset and system information from individual sites, Patel wrote a strategic plan and site-level processes for installing the dashboards. The systems, which would be accessible both onsite and remotely, have the potential to optimize facilities operation and transparency by providing real-time, accessible energy-use feedback.
Patel estimates that this could save up to 5 percent of electricity costs and consumption at dashboard-equipped facilities.

Hello, this is my 2nd week of owning an RV (I bought it in AZ and am on my way back to the east coast). I might have made a big mistake this morning and contaminated my water tank. I filled up my water tank at a campground in Santa Fe this morning. I use a basic water filter I bought at Walmart (blue one that attaches to the hose). I ran the water for a few seconds and filled it up. When I removed the hose from the faucet, there were bunch of small worms on the mesh filter of the pressure regulator. They looked like tiny earthworms (but probably not). Gross! The worms were big enough that they were caught in the mesh filter. Since the water is also filtered, I hope that none of them are actually in the tank. But how about parasites, small eggs and such? I was in a hurry and wasn't at a full hookup site, so I am traveling with the water right now. I don't drink the water from the tank but I wash dishes with it. But I am boiling water to do my dishes for now. Has anyone run into something like this before? I read posts about disinfecting the tank with chlorine but many campsites say that they are on septic system and ask not to pour chemicals in their sewer. So what should I do? Thank you!
Yep - you did the upgrade for me right at the campsite in Wilmington, Ohio - greatly appreciated.
I have my Aqua Hot system serviced annually for about $200. It's not worth my time to do it myself and save $200. I would rather enjoy life and let some one else who is more qualified do it for me.
Good to see the USAF is still hard at work on important uniform issues. Yes, that is sarcasm.
Had ordered a pair of OEM replacements from CARiD that were supposed to be overnighted. After a goat rope with CARiD, I found out they do NOT ship overnight. Today I ordered a pair from Lippert and paid $369 to overnight. This afternoon I still had not received a shipping notice so I called Lippert to check on the status. Despite everything being done right, the CSR had no idea why they didn't ship out. KRAZY!! So I am back to where I was 2 days ago. But, tomorrow I'll head to the repair shop and have one of the original leafs put into the stack to get the capacity up to where it needs to be. Lippert is sending the 2 new sets to the park we'll be at for the summer. Hopefully over the next 3 weeks I can get both sets replaced. Should be on the road by noon and arrive at the park by 2. Will go thru an RV wash and the Cat scales on the way out of Missoula.

Verizon Jetpack upgrade to 7730L or 8800I??
I'm not sure why there's so much concern about whether or not 5G will eventually make equipment obsolete. The time scales for that happening outside of the major cities are IMO so long that most of us will probably have left the road entirely before we ever see 5G. According to my son, who works for Verizon, the 5G roll-out for 2019 are Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Des Moines, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Little Rock, Memphis, Phoenix, Providence, San Diego, Salt Lake City, and Washington DC. Those aren't places where I spend much of my summer time! When it will get to Corpus Christi (or Rockport) where we spend the winter is going to be a long way in the future.
I attended the rallies with a AS chapter in Texas. Haven't attended a national rally as of yet. There has been some controversy over how the officers are elected (the officers nominate one person for each position and the members get to "vote" for that person) along with other issues. The Texas chapter was all about having fun. Hopefully, the controversies will get resolved and the club will thrive again.
Do you ever attend their national rallies?
I doubt that the IRS cares what address you use but since NC has a state income tax she will need to file so separate income for tax purposes is probably the only reasonable answer to avoid her paying tax on your income.
John, I went thru the Fla HDT as an RV goat rope a few years ago. The FIRST thing YOU need to do is call YOUR insurance agent in Fla and ask them about getting insurance for this HDT registered as a "private truck". If you have the VIN, that will DEFINITELY help. If your agent is like mine, they will tell you to get insurance on a private truck, you need "commercial exposure". My agent was never able to explain what that term means. Once I got the feeling insurance was not going to be possible, I dropped the whole thing. It was all about the GVWR. A FEW people have been able to get their HDT registered as an RV in Fla. VERY few. Now it seems the vehicle registration folks in Tallahassee are MUCH more knowledgeable about folks converting HDTs into RV haulers and it is against Fla statutes. That knowledge from the state capital has filtered down to the county tax offices. The folks here saying you can't get it registered in SD and have it in Fla are not exactly correct. SD does not care what address you use. SD will take your money and give you a SD registration with a Fla address. There is no SD law that says a SD registered vehicle has to belong to a SD resident. I suggest you call the folks at America's Mailbox in Box Elder and discuss that option. With that said, IF you claim Fla as your domicile, Fla MIGHT come after you for having that truck registered out of state with Fla as your domicile. Why? Fla needs registration fees, too. Or, if you get it registered as an RV in SD, it MIGHT be easier to get it registered as an RV in Fla. Unless you are getting the Homestead tax exemptions or other financial benefits in Fla, you might be better off domiciling in SD. What I have written is based on my PERSONAL experience over a 3 month period seeking ways to buy an out of state HDT and get it registered as an RV/Private truck in Fla. I am still driving my 1-ton dually. I gave up on the idea. To answer your question I quoted above, I found ONE company in Calif that would insure the truck, registered in Fla, for over $1K a year. The coverage was ONLY in force while the truck was TOWING the trailer OR going to/from service or fueling. In other words, no grocery getting or anything like that. To me, that was too little use to justify the expense. It was the best decision for me at the time. And you are probably better off asking any HDT questions on the HDT forum.
We were parked near a couple living in an Airstream in Yucaipa, CA a couple of weeks ago. Across the back of the trailer it read, "Toaster on Wheels." They have an interesting website.
But you would be driving them with a 12YO pump that was engineered to do the original job as intended, not the upgraded design you are after. I just took the same Lippert system off an '05 3 axle Teton. Installed the Big Foot.
We are part time. We both like our jobs and my schedule of 28 days on and 28 days off allows us enough travel time to satisfy our wanderlust. We spent most of February in AZ having missed Boomerville because of our work schedule. Would we like to full time? Maybe, maybe not, since we love being near our grandkids and intend to build a house next door to them. I envy fulltimers, but while sitting in AZ I wonder if we would be bored with all the free time? Every full timer we talked to at Boomerville 2018 said we would adjust and love the life style. Well, we will see.
I'm guessing you didn't like what that pro had to say , so you're looking for a different answer from the masses . Best of luck .
Another side note...none HAD to be closed, and some shouldn't have been, someone just chose to. LOL, go out how you started life!
Sometimes it is hard to figure out where to go for what when in an unfamiliar area. Safe travels.

Kiambu Police Rescue Learners Back To School
Quick action by the Kiambu Multi-Agency team formed to oversee the return to school of students has helped 3 learners to return to two schools in Githunguri Sub-County of Kiambu county.
Speaking to KNA at Matuguta Police Post in Githunguri , a police officer who participated in the rescue exercise said they had intervened in a case where a landlord had caused 2 upper primary school pupils to miss school after their school uniform and other school items were locked in their house for non payment of rent.
The officer, Police constable Wesley Terer said they had received information from the mother of the children whom he identified as Joyce Gakii that her landlord at Gituamba area had locked her house after she was unable to pay rent of Sh 2500 for 2 months.
According to the officer, she was locked out, forcing her ro relocate to another house where she is now residing but left all her belongings in her former house.
He noted that when the Government ordered the re-opening of the schools for Monday 4th, she returned to the said house and that her efforts to convince the landlord to open for her the house to enable her collect the uniforms for her children were futile and that was when she sought the assistance from the area assistant Chief Simon Muya Ndei who led her to Matuguta Police Post where she made the report.
The officers then swung into action and upon locating the landlord they were able to instruct him to open the house for the mother who was able to collect the uniform and other items that enabled the children, std 7 and 5 to resume schooling.
In another incident, the principal of a secondary school involved police officers from Ikinu to assist a form four candidate return to school after he disagreed with his parents and failed to return home for 2 days.
Mr. Daniel Ndungu the principal of Willlam Ngiru Gitau said he had aided the father of the boy through the police to direct him to where he had been sleeping after he failed to return to his home for two days.
Ikinu OCS Inspector Mbaisi Madahana confirmed that the officers from his station had intervened in the issue and that the boy had promised to return to school the following day. KNA learnt that the boy was unhappy that his shoes were torn and that the parents were reluctant to buy him a new pair.

Entering a pew
In Paul Turner's Blog by Paul Turner September 21, 2016
Q: A few weeks ago our teachers asked me to review the various liturgical roles the students have during the school Mass. While I was prepared to do that, just as everyone entered the church for rehearsal, one of the teachers asked me to explain what to do before entering a pew. I explained that a profound bow to the altar (because the tabernacle is not in the sanctuary) would be appropriate. Since then the children have done quite well with not only remembering to bow but also bowing well.
However at least one parent was quite upset with me for not teaching the children to genuflect. According to your post, either is appropriate. According to an article on the USCCB website, genuflecting is traditional but there is nothing mandating it or preferring it to bowing. I know that #49 of the GIRM addresses the opening procession to bow before the altar (with no tabernacle in the sanctuary). Is there anything specific to gesture before entering/exiting a pew?
Any insights you can share would be most helpful – thank you so much!
A: Liturgical rubrics contain great detail about the ministers and surprisingly few details about the faithful. Whereas the rubrics are clear about the reverences that ministers make upon arriving in the church, they are not so specific for the faithful. GIRM 274 says, "If, however, the tabernacle with the Most Blessed Sacrament is situated in the sanctuary, the Priest, the Deacon, and the other ministers genuflect when they approach the altar and when they depart from it, but not during the celebration of Mass itself. Otherwise, all who pass before the Most Blessed Sacrament genuflect, unless they are moving in procession." If the tabernacle is not in the sanctuary, then the ministers omit the genuflection and perform the profound bow toward the altar as found in GIRM 49.
The Ceremonial of Bishops, however, adds this: "No one who enters a church should fail to adore the blessed sacrament, either by visiting the blessed sacrament chapel or at least by genuflecting" (CB 71). Therefore, it is appropriate for everyone entering a church to locate the tabernacle and at least genuflect in its direction. Depending on the church, that could be done at the blessed sacrament chapel, on the way to one's pew, or before taking one's pew. But the genuflection should be made in the direction of the tabernacle – not toward the altar.
The Ceremonial of Bishops also says, "a bow of the body, or deep bow, is made: to the altar if there is no tabernacle with the blessed sacrament on the altar…" (68b). It does not specify who does this, so the inference is that it applies to all.
In your situation, then, if possible, students should genuflect to the tabernacle upon entering the church and bow to the altar before taking their pew.
There are no similar rubrics for leaving the building. It's just an oversight. Logic would lead one to conclude that the same reverences performed on the way in are also performed on the way out. Otherwise, you are left to conclude that the GIRM and the CB never allow the people to exit the church. Even though the deacon commands them to go in peace, no rubric tells them to obey him.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger gets wish, ends potential last game at Heinz Field with win
By Doris C. Whitaker	 Last updated Jan 4, 2022
PITTSBURGH – Minutes before the kick-off of what was likely his last game at Heinz Field, Ben Roethlisberger faced the Cleveland Browns captains alone at the Pittsburgh Steelers midfielder logo on Monday night.
Other Steelers captains Cam Heyward and Derek Watt would normally flank the quarterback on the walk to the draw, but the pair came to a screeching halt, leaving Roethlisberger to move forward without them.
When Roethlisberger realized what was going on, he gently hit them, but they continued to hang back. Roethlisberger kept walking, until he was left alone in midfield for potentially the last draw at Heinz Field in his 18-year career.
"We knew if we had warned Ben ahead of time he would have said, 'No, don't do that,'" Heyward said. "So we got him out of hand. He was a little bored, but we wanted to give him every opportunity to celebrate that."
It was the kind of appropriate low-key move from the veteran, who said earlier that he preferred to win Monday night at the pump and the circumstances in what was likely a final goodbye to his home ground.
The Steelers then made Roethlisberger's biggest wish come true with a 26-14 win over the Browns.
"I'm so grateful to these fans and this place. There is no place like this," Roethlisberger said tearfully in a post-game interview with ESPN.
Roethlisberger kept his usual pre-game routine Monday night, arriving four hours before the game, but he didn't take the pitch for the final warm-ups until 46 minutes before kick-off.
"Ben did a really good job setting the pace," Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. "He was singularly focused. It was business as usual, and so he was easy to follow, and I think everyone got their vibe of him that way. Obviously, it was an extremely emotional night and all. that, but he's been doing a good job getting the job ready for this approach all week. "
Roethlisberger hugged minority Steelers owner Thomas Tull, who ran a full front-page advertisement in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday to thank the quarterback. Tull also wore a black Roethlisberger jersey.
At the start of the pre-game warm-ups, Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II thanked Roethlisberger for his "great 18 years" on the video set, but outside of that, the Steelers paid tribute to the quarterback- back. In the fourth quarter of "Renegade", no additional Roethlisberger moments were added to the highlight reel.
As expected, Roethlisberger was the last player to be announced individually, and he sprinted out of the tunnel to a loud ovation from the 63,624 fans, who chanted "Come on, Ben" after his introduction. The chant echoed through the stadium throughout the game as fans, who came armed with farewell signs, bid farewell to their franchise quarterback.
"Everything was pretty calm and collected throughout this week, right into the pre-game," Steelers linebacker TJ Watt said. "Fairly normal. Until you walk outside and feel the energy. Seen all 7 jerseys, all 7 signs.
"It was really an atmosphere that I had never felt here before. It was really, really special. The fans made it so amazing for him. I'm so grateful that they were able to do it for him. It was a special night. "
The Steelers responded with energized and complementary play.
As the pass rush racked up nine sacks, including four from career-high Watt, Roethlisberger completed 24 of 46 attempts for 123 yards – including 34 first-half attempts – as well as a touchdown and an interception. . With that performance, Roethlisberger set an NFL record for fewest passing yards in a single game with at least 45 passing attempts, and he averaged 1.75 yards from the air per completion, his lowest ever. in one game since ESPN began tracking overhead yards in 2006.
"It's funny because it's probably not like you wanted it, other than the win," Roethlisberger said. "And that's all that really matters. And that's the story of my career: not always pretty, but we find a way."
To bolster the offense, Najee Harris put in his best performance as a pro, gaining 188 yards on 28 carries. His massive night helped him break Franco Harris' franchise rookie running record of 1972, allowing him 1,172 rushing yards this season. He also scored a 37-yard touchdown in the last minute.
"He's a hell of a football player," Roethlisberger said. "Tonight it's like he's possessed. Some of the things he did were just special, and he gave us that victory."
After kneeling in the winning lineup, thanks to the interception of Tre Norwood, Roethlisberger concluded his post-match interview and lingered on the pitch for 12 minutes. He raised his hand with outstretched thumb, forefinger and little finger, slowly circling around to tell the crowd at Heinz Field that he loved them. He walked along the perimeter of the South End Area, greeting and acknowledging fans who traveled, made posters and shouted "Thanks, Ben" and "Let's go, Ben" throughout the game.
"This is our home," Roethlisberger said afterwards. "I was born in Ohio but live here and always will be here. These fans and this place mean so much to me and my family and always will be. I always said they were the best fans of all. sport, and I'll stick to that until the day I die.
"To see all the signs and the shirts and the towels, and hear them cheering me on as they come out of the tunnel, all that, I don't know if I'll ever put it into words. I wish I could bottle it and the have forever.But I will do it here and in my mind.
Tomlin watched the quarterback go around Heinz Field, and the coach allowed himself to reflect on their relationship.
"I have enjoyed the past 15 years with him," said Tomlin. "Man, we've been through a lot. We've seen a lot. It's been one hell of a ride. It's been an honor to be a part of and enjoy it."
Surrounded by cameras, Roethlisberger crossed the pitch and moved closer to the touchline and kissed Rooney before sitting on the bench, where he sat with longtime center Maurkice Pouncey a year after a playoff loss to the Browns. This time he sat alone.
"I just wanted to sit down and understand," Roethlisberger said. "Just try to absorb every minute of this place because it's so special, the fans are so special. I wanted to win this game more than anything for them. Obviously we have one bigger one – we have another game. There is a slim chance [to make the playoffs], but we have to keep fighting. "
After a while, he stood up and walked towards the tunnel, where he was greeted by his family. He gave them all a hug and then entered the tunnel with his wife and three children.

1981-10-23 Something Else, BBC2, London, England, UK
(Redirected from 1981-10-23 Something Else)
2 Set list
A recording of this television performance which is often attributed to being from 1981-11-06 University, Liverpool, England, UK was actually recorded on this date. The confusion arises due to the fact that it was originally broadcast on November 6, 1981.[1] Further backstory and information is provided thanks to the Facebook group Depeche Mode Classic Photos And Videos:
1981-10-23 - TV Recording, 'Something Else' . October 23rd 1981 .
Broadcast date: 6th November 1981
The video footage usually credited as live at Liverpool University on 6th November 1981, is actually footage shot for the TV show 'Something Else'. The mistake has come about because this is the date the show was broadcast.
I started investigating this after spotting Deb Danahay and Jo Gahan in the audience. When I pointed it out to her, she said it wasn't her, and what's more, she wasn't at the Liverpool gig. I was confused, but hey, she should know, right?
Some time later, Deb had another look at the footage, and realised that it was in fact her in the audience, with Jo and Anne Swindell. Confused, she checked her diary, and she definitely was not in Liverpool on 6th November.
Remembering the 'Something Else' footage, I decided to look into this further. With the help of Deb's archive, these pictures came to light, detailing the schedule for the 'Something Else' show. It was recorded on 23rd October, edited on 24th October, and broadcast on 6th November. Another check in the diary revealed that Deb was indeed at the recording!
Some YouTube clips, correctly identify the performance from the TV show, but it has been missed that these are one and the same. The supposed 'Liverpool' footage is a timecoded, unedited copy, that even has two performances of Tora! Tora! Tora! and Nodisco, further proof that this was not a gig. If you compare the footage, you'll see that it is fact the same performance. You will also see it credited as 'Something Else' on the 'Speak & Spell' remaster DVD.

The different takes of Tora! Tora! Tora! and Nodisco were carefully compared, and it was determined that different keyboard mistakes are made during Nodisco, signifying that they are two unique takes, but Tora! Tora! Tora! is the same take with a different camera angle.

A local hero who has been at the heart - and art - of the community for nearly 40 years has been presented with a prestigious award. Nan Middleton has been honoured with a British Empire Medal (BEM) in recognition of her outstanding contribution to arts and crafts - and volunteering - in Dunbartonshire.
Her amazing work has changed thousands of lives - providing people of all ages and abilities with new skills and chances to be creative. Nan, from Milngavie, has spent nearly 40 years working in communities around East Dunbartonshire, founding the Creative Care charity in 1999.
In 2010, Nan and the charity set up home in Brackenbrae House - supported by the Council - and have never looked back. Between 150 and 200 people attend Brackenbrae House every week, with an extensive programme for adults with special needs. Nan and Creative Care are famed for their magical skills with 3D decoupage - the art of layering paper to create a 3D effect. Classes are also held on beading, jewellery and embroidery.
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire, Rear Admiral Michael Gregory OBE, presented Nan with her BEM at an Investiture in the Council headquarters in Kirkintilloch earlier this month. Mr Gregory praised her "phenomenal work" and highlighted the achievements of the "amazingly helpful" Creative Care.
Nan - a mother of three and grandmother of five - was joined at the Investiture by her loving family, as well as patrons and management of Brackenbrae House. She said, "I've had a smile on my face for months - ever since I got the phone call from the Palace. It's just absolutely wonderful. "When people come to Brackenbrae House we want them to feel needed, wanted, loved and appreciated - and they do. "We've had the same management group for many years and they are wonderful. It's amazing to think there are no paid employees at Creative Care. "I want to thank all my family and everyone at the charity for their support - I couldn't do this without you. "I would also like to thank the Council for its support. As soon as we saw Brackenbrae House, it felt like home."
Also attending the Investiture were Vice Lord-Lieutenant, Miss Gill Aitkenhead MBE, and Deputy Lieutenant Mrs Morag Hart MBE JP DL, member of the Honours & Awards Committee, who read the citation.
Music was provided by Bearsden Academy's senior strings - organised by East Dunbartonshire Council's Instrumental Music Service.
Provost Una Walker said, "I don't know of anyone who deserves a BEM more than Nan. She has been an inspiration to many people locally and touched so many lives. "The work at Brackenbrae House is absolutely wonderful - there's always such a lovely atmosphere when you go in. "I'm delighted that the Council was able to help Creative Care with the move to Brackenbrae - first suggested by Cllr Rhondda Geekie - and wish them all the very best for the future."
Creative Care began life as the Scottish School of Decoupage in 1978 and quickly developed a tremendous reputation. Since moving to Brackenbrae House in September 2010, tireless volunteers have raised more than £100,000 for improvements - including a lift, windows, heating and toilet facilities. Creative Care received The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2013 - the highest award which can be given to volunteer groups across the UK.
Creative Care will welcome two very special guests to Brackenbrae House on 3-4 and 10-11 December - Mr and Mrs Claus - as they host their incredibly popular Victorian Christmas events. There will be Christmas crafts and displays of 3D decoupage, embroidered cards, beading and parchment craft. There will also be festive refreshments, Christingles and - on Sunday 11 December - carols by candlelight. You can contact Creative Care by calling 0141 772 7797.
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire, Rear Admiral Michael Gregory OBE, is keen that people who deserve an Honour should be recognised. Honours go to people from all walks of life who exemplify sustained and selfless voluntary work, and make a positive difference to their community to improve the lot of those less fortunate than themselves.
Anyone can be put forward for an Honour if they have achieved high standards of excellence. All nominations must be treated in the strictest confidence and the person nominated should not be aware of the nomination.

Lancaster Health Center, Welsh Mountain announce merger
By Tim Stuhldreher - November 9, 2020
(Source: Provided)
Two local nonprofits that provide health services to low-income and underserved communities in Lancaster County are joining forces.
Lancaster Health Center and Welsh Mountain Health Centers said Monday that their respective boards voted unanimously Oct. 29 to approve a merger.
Alisa Jones, Lancaster Health Center president and CEO, will be CEO of the unified health organization. Her counterpart at Welsh Mountain, Jackie Concepcion, will serve as vice president of community initiatives.
The two organizations share the same mission, and they are confident the alliance "will allow us to grow stronger," Jones said in a statement.
The merger requires state approval. That is expected to take several months, during which Lancaster Health Center and Welsh Mountain plan to select a new name and develop branding.
"To blend services rather than compete for funding and duplicate efforts is an ideal fit for our patients," said David Kreider, Lancaster Health Center board chairman.
The merger will allow the two organizations to share expertise and deploy grants "in larger, more innovative ways," he said.
Said Welsh Mountain Health Centers Board Chair, Dr. Vincent Glielmi: "It's important for our patients that both of our organizations come together and share one mission so that we can provide a stronger network of care."
The organizations said they expect to reduce joint operating expenses and that staff, services and locations will be "thoughtfully aligned" in the course of the merger. They did not immediately provide additional details.
"We will continue seeing patients at all of our existing locations," Nicole Specht, spokeswoman for Lancaster Health Center, said.
At present, the two organizations have staffs totaling 275 individuals and combined budgets of $28.1 million. They serve about 35,000 patients, providing primary care, dental care, behavioral health and social services.
Lancaster Health Center has five locations, all in Lancaster County; Welsh Mountain has five locations in Lancaster and Lebanon counties.
Both are federally qualified health centers, community-based entities that receive federal reimbursement for providing primary care in underserved areas.
Federally qualified health centers must offer services on a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay, and they must have grassroots patient representation on their boards.
Nationwide, there are nearly 1,400 health centers serving nearly 30 million individuals, or one out of every 11 Americans.
The Lancaster County Community Foundation provided a $20,000 grant to help the two organizations explore a merger.
"We commend the leadership of these two amazing local health pillars for having the courage to take this step and the determination to do this work even better," Dave Koser, the foundation's director of programs, said in a statement.
