A mother and her two daughters, all former Girl Scouts who say they are disillusioned with the organization's connection to less-than family values, claim the U.S. group's 52nd National Convention next week in Houston is a farce.
Christy Volanski and her daughters, Sydney and Tess, formed a sort of watchdog group earlier this year with their online site, "Speak Now: Girl Scouts," as their platform in attempt to expose the group's pro-abortion stance.
Volanski, who also served as a Girl Scout leader in the last three years of her daughters' eight year membership, told The Christian Post that Girl Scouts of the USA does not attempt to present a balanced viewpoint when it comes to issues of abortion, sexuality, and marriage.
"For the last several conventions they have promoted this same type of ultra-feminist, abortion rights activists, and pro-homosexual speakers," said Volanski, who resides in Houston. "There are many speakers that we consider problematic for pro-life families bringing their daughters to this event."
Speakers at the convention, planned for Nov. 8 - 13, include Houston Mayor Annise Parker, who lives with her same-sex partner Kathy Hubbard, campaign treasurer for Planned Parenthood. Parker's upcoming bid for re-election as Houston Mayor is endorsed by Planned Parenthood, according to plannedparenthoodfacts.org.
"The most troubling part to me is that Girl Scouts claim that they don't take a stand on issues like abortion, contraception, girls' sexuality, yet they promote all these type of speakers and role models for the girls," Volanski said. "In addition to that they are sending the girls to websites that promote abortion.
"They claim to be somewhat neutral on these issues, but the facts reveal a totally different story," she said. "They promote things that we as Christians do not teach."
Earlier this year, a Girl Scouts spokesman denied the allegations. "Girl Scouts does not take a position on abortion or birth control. The national umbrella organization, Girl Scouts of the USA does not have a relationship with Planned Parenthood on a national level and does not plan to have one," the spokesman said.
However, Volanski said she views the upcoming convention and the group itself as being unbalanced morally and ethically.
"There's no attempt to balance at all. There's no one to represent the pro-life movement. There's no one to represent the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman," she said. "I'm concerned about what girls are going to be exposed to at the convention."
Volanski is not deterred by the way the Girl Scouts portrays itself to the public.
"We have a whole group of concerned families around the United States that are keeping an eye on the Girl Scouts. Most of them are former Girl scouts or Girl Scouts leaders," she said.
Membership in the Girl Scouts of USA may be dwindling. The faith-based American Heritage Girls reports that 40 percent of its membership are former Girl Scouts, Volanski said.
Adding fuel to the issue of the group's moral value system, the Colorado Girl Scouts has recently said they would allow a 7-year-old boy to join after initially rejecting his application.
The boy wants to join his sister in the group and reportedly dresses like a girl and loves playing with dolls, according to the Daily Mail.
"I have compassion for the little boy," Volanski said. "I understand that he needs a place, but I am concerned about what provisions there are for girls because they do a lot of overnight summer camps. If that's there policy it seems very complicated to me. I would be concerned as a parent if my daughter was going to a sleep-away event with a boy."

Croatian defender Filip Benkovic back at Leicester following Cardiff loan stint
Filip Benkovic has had other loan spells at Celtic and Bristol City (Simon Cooper/PA)
Leicester have recalled Croatian defender Filip Benkovic from his loan spell at Cardiff.
The centre-back, capped once by his country, joined the Bluebirds in October on what was supposed to be a season-long loan but he has made just one substitute appearance since then – against Wycombe a week ago.
Cardiff said in a statement: "Cardiff City can confirm that Filip Benkovic has been recalled by parent club Leicester City. We'd like to thank Filip for his services and wish him the best for the future."
Benkovic moved to Leicester in August 2018 for a reported £13million fee but is yet to make a Premier League appearance for the club. He has had other loan spells at Celtic and Bristol City.

Announcing Ignition Award Winners for 2015
The Office of Technology Development completed its 6th annual Ignition Award cycle and we are pleased to announce this year's winners. The Ignition Program awards $50K, one-year grants to faculty of Boston University and Boston Medical Center to validate early-stage technologies and enable follow-on funding. The Ignition Award Program was initiated to help bridge the gap between government funded, basic research and product development activities undertaken by commercial or non-profit entities. Awards are made in the domains of Life Sciences, Medtech, and Physical Sciences. Proposals must demonstrate potential for commercial, medical, and/or societal impact. An external committee (made up of business executives, investors, and others) with domain expertise in each area was recruited to judge proposals and recommend awards.
OTD received a higher number of applications this year and made a total of 11 awards: 5 in Life Sciences, 3 in Medtech, and 3 in Physical Sciences. The next Ignition cycle will begin with Pre-proposal applications due in the Fall (October, 2015). Stronger Pre-proposals will be invited to submit Full-Proposals. Applicants present their Full-Proposals to the Ignition Committee and award decisions are announced (March, 2016). More details on BU's Ignition Program can be found here. Following is a brief description of the 2015 Ignition awardees.

Leaders of Mercy Health – Fairfield Hospital recently gathered to honor and celebrate their philanthropic partners and also to recognize the importance of the role philanthropy plays in the hospital's ability to provide services to the community.
The celebration marked the end of a nearly two-year long journey to create a significant sculpture in the hospital that honors past community partners of 40 years also provides space to recognize those partners yet to come.
The new lifetime donor wall, unveiled at the event, features 214 community partners whose have chosen to support Mercy Health's efforts in Butler County since Fairfield Hospital opened in 1978 as well as Circle of Mercy Donors.
The Circle of Mercy Society, formed this year, recognizes currently living donors who have chosen to make a sure their philanthropic support to Mercy Health continues long after they are gone from this life.
Also on display is a "mini museum" of historical medical artifacts from the past two centuries in Butler County donated by the Butler County Medical Society.

1) Take B-Vitamins with Metformin for Better Results
2) Nuts Have Multiple Health Benefits
3) Optimists Live Longer
Metformin can be effective but it has side effects. One of the side effects is that it simultaneously increases levels of homocysteine and reduces levels of two B-vitamins: folate and B12.
A high level of homocysteine is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is a possible risk factor for bone loss, and has been shown to shrink the size of your brain.
Some women with PCOS already have elevated homocysteine and many show early signs of cardiovascular disease. So when they take metformin, their homocysteine could go even higher.
The B-vitamins are needed to keep homocysteine under control. When B-vitamins are depleted, it is more difficult for you to manage homocysteine.
Therefore, B-complex vitamin supplementation is recommended if you are taking metformin.
This dynamic was confirmed in a study of women with PCOS just published by the University Magna Graecia in Italy. In this study, the women were divided into two groups. The first group took 1,700 milligrams of metformin and 400 micrograms of folate daily for six months. The other group took the metformin plus placebo pills. The women were also evaluated for signs of cardiovascular disease.
At the end of six months, the placebo group experienced a significant increase in homocysteine as compared to the group taking folate. More importantly, the group taking folate showed fewer signs of cardiovascular disease at the end of six month.
A primary dietary source of folate is leafy green vegetables. But since most of us don't focus on leafy green vegetables, supplementing with a high-quality multi-vitamin is a wise move. This multi-vitamin product contains 800 micrograms of folate, twice the amount used in the above study. It also has vitamin B12, which is crucial for controlling homocysteine.
Palomba S et al, Effects of metformin with or without supplementation with folate on homocysteine levels and vascular endothelium of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, Diabetes Care. 2010 Feb;33(2):246-51
Tree nuts are an integral part of the PCOS diet described in The Natural Diet Solution for PCOS and Infertility ebook.
Why were nuts included in this diet? Everyone knows how fattening they are, right?
The truth is that tree nuts (such as almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts) contain a wealth of nutrients that improve your health.
Some components of nuts may protect against inflammation and insulin resistance, which are problems that PCOS women have.
These components include protein, magnesium, fiber, alpha-linolenic acid, L-arginine, antioxidants, monounsaturated fatty acids, alpha-tocopherol, folic acid, copper, phytosterols and other phytochemicals.
Tree nuts are best known for their ability to help protect you from cardiovascular disease. For example, the Department of Nutrition at Loma Linda University reported "…an 8.3% reduction in risk of death from coronary heart disease for each weekly serving of nuts."
Nuts have also been shown to be effective for reducing health problems associated with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome has many similarities to PCOS.
Eating nuts may also reduce DNA damage, according to a recent study from the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus in Spain. It's critical that you protect your DNA because it contains the genetic instructions for every cell in your body.
Please don't eat any nuts that are cooked in oil. Those nuts are bad for you. Also please avoid any nuts that are coated with honey or any other material. Eat only pure, raw nuts in moderation.

Winston Churchill said: "A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty".
Optimism and pessimism are prisms through which you see your world. Optimism and pessimism are the stories you tell yourself about the world.
Optimism is a learned skill and if you have the desire, you can alter the way you choose to look at the world. It takes a while to break old habits of thinking, but it can be done.
Having an optimistic approach to your life is part of your healing process with PCOS and a prerequisite to a life that has joy, interest and meaning for you.
Whether you are an optimist or a pessimist will also influence your lifespan, according to research.
Duke University studied 7,007 people over a 40-year span. They found that the most pessimistic people were the ones most likely to die. The optimists were more likely to live a longer life.
Why not take a moment right now to reframe how you look at PCOS? Can you find a way to feel more optimistic about it?

Perhaps this has happened to you. As a child, or even as an adult, you read a book and it quickly became one of your favourites. Maybe you read it several times. With each reading you developed a mental picture of what the people looked like. Maybe this mental image of yours included details such as the look and feel of the surroundings, the house, the room, the landscape. Perhaps you could even see what the characters wore or ate. Maybe your mental picture of the book was pretty detailed. Perhaps it was quite simple. In either case you had an image, a feel that brought the book alive for you, and you could literally see and smell it all.
And then you saw the movie. And boy were you disappointed. The people looked all wrong. The house was not as you imagined it. Important details were left out. Or things were put in the wrong order. And where on earth did that character come from? They weren't in the book.
I had that experience as a child reading Little House in the Big Woods and its sequels. I loved Laura and Mary and Ma and Pa. I think if I bumped into them on the street, I would have known them instantly. I could see their log cabin. I longed to churn butter and make cheese and help Pa butcher the pig. (Well, maybe not that!) I wanted to learn how to quilt and build a smokehouse and make sausage. (At this point the brothers in the community are thinking, "Ah, this all makes sense, we've actually been living with a character out of the Little House books all these years!") I think it is safe to say that the Little House books not only turned me into a reader but shaped my life in a profound way.
And then I saw the TV show. And boy I was disappointed. Michael Landon didn't look anything like Pa. Where was his beard? What was up with that timber frame, board and batten house? It supposed to be a log cabin or a sod hut, or even a cave in the river bank for Pete's sake! And where on earth did the adopted brother Albert come from? He was never in the books. In the end, I just couldn't watch the show. As much as I loved the books, the show was a huge disappointment.
I had a similar experience years later when I visited Bethlehem for the first time. By that time, I had read the Christmas story dozens, if not hundreds of times. Like Linus in A Charlie Brown's Christmas I had the story pretty much memorized. I knew what everything should look like. For years I had been the one in my family to put our manger scene out on the mantel each Christmas. I didn't just have a mental image of what the stable looked like, I had a real life model of the stable. I knew what Mary and Joseph were wearing. I could see the shepherds and the sheep. I was certain where everyone was standing. And most of all I knew exactly what Jesus looked like lying in that manger of straw.
And then I got to Bethlehem. And it was all wrong. Where did these heavy velvet curtains come from? And all this marble? What kind of stable has marble floors? And the place smelled. But not of donkeys and cows and sheep and sh…… (oops!). It smelt of roses, or at least rose incense. And what stable, what barn has a marble manger?
I had to remind myself over and over again that my mental picture was just that, my mental picture. But at the same time, I had to remind myself that all this marble and velvet and incense was not an historic reproduction of a first century cave-stable, but it was a way to honour what had happened in this place. It was a way to invite people into the story.
We gather today around another stable. This one is of olive wood and stone and evergreen, and yes, marble. And while there are no velvet curtains, there is lots of fine silk fabric. It's not how I imagined it. Perhaps this is not how you imagined it. But that doesn't matter. What is important is not how we have imagined the story, but that the story has become part of us. Just as the Little House books became part of me, so the story of God can become part of you. Not only can you find yourself watching something unfold before you, as you watch would TV or a movie, but you can find yourself drawn into the story and become a part of it.
In just a very few verses Luke gives enough details of the story for it to take root in our minds and hearts. He takes us to Bethlehem and the stable; to the shepherds and their field; to the angels and their song. In our minds eye we see an inn full to overflowing with weary travelers and the exasperated innkeeper wondering what to do with this man and his pregnant wife. We see campfires dotting the field as shepherds watched and dozed through the night. We see sheep grazing and hear the clang of their bells in the distance. We see a sky brilliant with stars. We see a stable rough and weathered, where cattle and donkeys contentedly sleep. Luke tells us very little of this, yet still we see it, because the story has taken root deep in our imaginations.
The Bethlehem of our minds and hearts is a place of encounter where we can come to know that this story of a strange birth is true in a stable is true. It is true because it is in our hearts that we make a stable for God and in the manger of our hands that the infant is laid.
St. Augustine of Hippo reminded his congregation in North Africa one Christmas over 1600 years ago that Christ "finds no room in the inn, but he builds a [stable] for Himself in the hearts of those who believe."It is to this stable of our hearts that we come today prepared to welcome the Saviour and allow him to be laid in the manger of our hands.
For many, Christmas is something that happened long ago. Like some historical event encased in the distant past it appears to have no relevance for today. It is simply a memory of a simpler time and a more innocent age. And for some Christmas is only that, celebration of innocence. Yet the harsh realities of the first Christmas were neither simpler, nor more innocent. Then as now the world was wracked by violence and tragedy and upheaval. Nations were on the move as one used its might to oppress and others were forced into the role of resistance. As always many were caught in the middle and were forced here and then there at the whim of the powerful and the militant. In 2000 years things have not changed.
It was not in a time of peace and stability that God chose to be born in Bethlehem. It was not in a time of order and tranquility that God chose to be born in Bethlehem. It was not in a time of simplicity and innocence that God chose to be born in Bethlehem. It was into a world of violence and tragedy and upheaval that God chose to be born into a family caught in the cross currents of political events.
Now, like then, we do not live in simpler and more innocent times. Now like then we do not live in a time of order and tranquility. Now like then we do not live in a time of peace and stability. Now like then we live in a time of violence and tragedy and upheaval where many, including ourselves are caught up in the cross current of political events. And yet now like then God chooses to be made known to us as the Babe of Bethlehem.
We may all have a mental image of what that first Christmas looked like. We may have an image of sheep and shepherds, stars and angels, mangers and babies, cows and donkeys. But the mental image and reality are probably as dissimilar as any book and its movie as I discovered trying to watch the TV show Little House on the Prairie.
What is important is not if your mental image matches the picture painted for us by Luke, or even by the carver who created this manger scene. What is important is that you made the story of God that Luke tells us, your story. What is important is that you have built stable in your heart and can create a manger in your hands to receive again the one who is the Saviour of the world.
The angels are singing once again today. Can you hear them? Above the din of violence, tragedy and upheaval, the Christmas angels are once again proclaiming the good news of the Saviour's birth. Can you hear them? Can you hear those angels proclaiming to you that a savior is born in Bethlehem? You needn't go far to find him. You only need to go to the stable of your heart and stretch out the manger of your hands and there you will see the Saviour once again.
This is the good news of Christmas, and we don't need to go far to find it. Just open the stable of your heart and make a manger with your hands and there you will behold him whose birth we celebrate today. Merry Christmas everyone! A savior is born!


Especially in the construction industry, the workplace is not always the safe environment that it's meant to be. Even in the office setting, workplace accidents occur more frequently that many would want to believe. Most employers offer workers' compensation packages that cover some expenses in the event that an employee is injured, but too often these packages are not enough, or employers deny their employee's claims altogether.
When employees are not given the fair compensation they are owed after a workplace injury, our Florida personal injury stands up against employers and insurance agencies to make sure that our clients are covered.
These can come about in a number of ways and in all work environments. Some are more catastrophic than others, but regardless of the injury type, you deserve the compensation you need to keep your family afloat during recovery.
Repetitive stress injuries are gaining more traction in recent years. These are injuries that occur over a long period of time of repetitive motion. Without the proper equipment and training on how to avoid them, those who are frequently typing or operating heavy machinery experience sometimes irreversible damage in their joints and muscles. These can directly affect your ability to perform your job and deserve proper compensation.
Workers' compensation packages are generally put into place to protect employers from large civil lawsuit related to personal injury. In these instances, the most common tactic is simply to ensure that you are receiving fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other consequences of the injury. There are, however, other cases that involve a third party and that open up an opportunity for both a civil suit and worker's comp. claim.
The best way to move forward with your case is to call our attorneys today at (407) 915-3483. We have over 75 years of combined experience, have won more than $100 million for our clients, and have won some of the largest verdicts in Florida's history. Our experts have the legal skill you need on your side.


From its source in the Andes, the Amazon River lived an epic transcontinental story to trace its line until the ocean. A 7,000 km (4,350 mi) trip during which a multitude of tributaries regularly discharging their water participated in the widening of its main arm. When it reaches the Ocean, the numbers get really impressive. With a flow reaching up to 209.000 m³/second (which alter the salinity and the color of the Ocean as far as 300km (186 mi) from the coasts), the Amazon is sole responsible for 18% of the total volume of fresh water alimenting the World's Oceans. Macapá, on the North side of the delta, is extremely warm (the town is exactly at the Equator level) and Belém, on the South side, is nostalgic of its glorious past. Despite being very attractive, this area remains little known and almost excluded from most of the tourist roads. Between the Amazon Rainforest and the Atlantic Ocean, the ecosystems compete in creativity to offer numerous different wonders. The area of Belém counts many river beaches, particularly on the islands of Mosqueiro, Outeiro and Cotijuba; but also many oceanic beaches such as Algodoal, Salinas and Ajuruteua. At the center of the delta, the gigantic island of Marajó, the size of Switzerland, constitutes a limitless playground where alternate plains and tropical forest.

The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office said that Elijah Lewis has not been reported missing but has not been seen by "independent individuals" since earlier this year, the Union Leader reported. Investigators said they're also looking for the boy's …

Home/CSS3, Wordpress 101 Guide/Responsive Web Development 101 – How to modify your theme to adapt to different screen sizes?
With the arrival of responsive design, many themes and frameworks now offer responsiveness and adapt to their respective screen size. You can achieve the same results if you use a framework like twitter bootstrap.
But what if your do not use a framework and would like to make your WordPress theme responsive? The solution resides in CSS3 Media Queries.
Media Queries help us select a specific size screen. By using a (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 960px), you can proceed to modify the selectors into the size the preferred size for each screen after testing.
Test this approach next time you have a project that needs responsiveness.

/**
 * Exports to the jME Binary Format. Format descriptor: (each numbered item
 * denotes a series of bytes that follows sequentially one after the next.)
 *

 * 1. "number of classes" - four bytes - int value representing the number of
 * entries in the class lookup table.
 *

 *

 * CLASS TABLE: There will be X blocks each consisting of numbers 2 thru 9,
 * where X = the number read in 1.
 *

 *

 * 2. "class alias" - 1...X bytes, where X = ((int) FastMath.log(aliasCount,
 * 256) + 1) - an alias used when writing object data to match an object to its
 * appropriate object class type.
 *

 *

 * 3. "full class name size" - four bytes - int value representing number of
 * bytes to read in for next field.
 *

 *

 * 4. "full class name" - 1...X bytes representing a String value, where X = the
 * number read in 3. The String is the fully qualified class name of the Savable
 * class, eg "com.jme.math.Vector3f"
 *

 *

 * 5. "number of fields" - four bytes - int value representing number of blocks
 * to read in next (numbers 6 - 9), where each block represents a field in this
 * class.
 *

 *

 * 6. "field alias" - 1 byte - the alias used when writing out fields in a
 * class. Because it is a single byte, a single class can not save out more than
 * a total of 256 fields.
 *

 *

 * 7. "field type" - 1 byte - a value representing the type of data a field
 * contains. This value is taken from the static fields of
 * com.jme.util.export.binary.BinaryClassField.
 *

 *

 * 8. "field name size" - 4 bytes - int value representing the size of the next
 * field.
 *

 *

 * 9. "field name" - 1...X bytes representing a String value, where X = the
 * number read in 8. The String is the full String value used when writing the
 * current field.
 *

 *

 * 10. "number of unique objects" - four bytes - int value representing the
 * number of data entries in this file.
 *

 *

 * DATA LOOKUP TABLE: There will be X blocks each consisting of numbers 11 and
 * 12, where X = the number read in 10.
 *

 *

 * 11. "data id" - four bytes - int value identifying a single unique object
 * that was saved in this data file.
 *

 *

 * 12. "data location" - four bytes - int value representing the offset in the
 * object data portion of this file where the object identified in 11 is
 * located.
 *

 *

 * 13. "future use" - four bytes - hardcoded int value 1.
 *

 *

 * 14. "root id" - four bytes - int value identifying the top level object.
 *

 *

 * OBJECT DATA SECTION: There will be X blocks each consisting of numbers 15
 * thru 19, where X = the number of unique location values named in 12.
 *

 * 15. "class alias" - see 2.
 *

 *

 * 16. "data length" - four bytes - int value representing the length in bytes
 * of data stored in fields 17 and 18 for this object.
 *

 *

 * FIELD ENTRY: There will be X blocks each consisting of numbers 18 and 19
 *

 *

 * 17. "field alias" - see 6.
 *

 *

 * 18. "field data" - 1...X bytes representing the field data. The data length
 * is dependent on the field type and contents.
