What plastic card printer ribbon do I need for the most cost and production efficiency?
YMCK (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and composite Black) ribbons produce full color graphics. Typically, these ribbons include an Overlay panel (a clear layer that acts as a laminate). YMCKOK ribbons also print in full color but they print monochrome black on the other side. This ribbon is the basic ribbon most often used for high-quantity, dual-sided cards.
Monochrome ribbons (only one color front and back) are available in many colors, typically yield higher image counts, and are less expensive to use.
PVC cards: commonly referred to as plastic cards, PVC cards come in a variety of sizes, thicknesses and colors. The most standard size is called CR80 - which is the size of your credit card (3.375" x 2.125") – but we also carry CR79 cards (3.303" x 2.051") that are a bit smaller and feature an adhesive back. Thicknesses vary from 10 to 30mil. As a reference, your credit card is a 30mil card. PVC cards can also include additional features such as magnetic stripes for multifunctional badges.
Proximity cards: "Prox" cards have an embedded antenna that stores the cardholder data. This data can be read when the proximity card is passed within range of a reader. Mainly used for access control applications, proximity cards are also chosen in environments where crowd control is a factor. Prox cards can be programmed online or call us to talk to an ID expert.
iCLASS® cards: iCLASS® cards combine contactless smart technology with a contact chip and/or a magnetic stripe. iCLASS® cards provide 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology and allow users to add a barcode, magnetic stripe, photo ID, graphics, or anti-counterfeiting features. HID's iCLASS® cards can be used for diverse applications such as access control, biometrics, cashless vending, public transportation, airline ticketing and customer loyalty programs.
Card material: the most common type of plastic card is 100% PVC. However, it is recommended to use composite PVC/PET cards for retransfer and laminating printers. Composite cards are 60% PVC and 40% PET and are more durable than PVC cards. They are also heat resistant and won't bend under high temperatures. Composite cards can be used with any card printer.

When our customer's, customer purchases product B our customer would like to add product Z to the order. I've done this for others in the past with VBA in our WMS. But, there's always a risk of duplication when the order gets moved around. I feel the safest way is to add product Z during the import. Any suggestions, much thanks in advance.
It´s possible but a bit tricky. I´ve attached a short example.
Afterwards you need for each field you would like to have other content another IF-THEN-ELSE condition to decide which content should be adopt on the WRITE side. For this condition you need the AutoID Heater with enabled GroupOut option. With this you can build a condition like if AutoID = 2 use Product Z other use the original content.
Sounds hard but I guess with the example it should be clear and easy to handle.
Thanks FlowHeater-Team…thanks for the easy to follow instructions and example.
As always Robert, very helpful I will find other uses for this as well.
Hey guys I'm still struggling with this. It's overwriting one of the line items on the first order and adding the new item. In your example (zip) change the second line item "B" to "C", run the def as it is and it will change the "C" to "Z". We were forced to reship a couple orders, on our dime, until I was able to identify the problem. They're manually entering the additional item where needed for now.
On my side the output is like expected. I guess you use an old Version? Please try it with the latest Version.
After updating and making a couple adjustments this works like a charm…thanks again Robert.

Home Entertainment Op-Ed: 'Three Wise Men and a Baby' is the best Hallmark Christmas...
Op-Ed: 'Three Wise Men and a Baby' is the best Hallmark Christmas movie of 2022

"Three Wise Men and a Baby," starring Andrew Walker, Tyler Hynes, and Paul Campbell, is the best Hallmark Christmas movie of 2022. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos has the scoop.
This new original film premiered on Saturday, November 19 on the Hallmark Channel as part of the network's annual "Countdown to Christmas" programming event.
In "Three Wise Men and a Baby," Luke Brenner (Andrew Walker) is "Mr. Perfect" – an all-star firefighter and poster boy for physical
health and clean living. When he finds a baby on the doorstep of the firehall with a note asking him to care for it until Christmas, he's uncharacteristically at a loss.
Unfortunately, his mom Barbara (Margaret Colin) has to go out of town to attend to her sister's medical emergency leaving
Luke with no other choice but to rely on his brothers for help until she returns – Taylor (Tyler Hynes), an opinionated video game designer who recently lost his job, and Stephan (Paul Campbell), a pet therapist with severe social anxiety.
It's one mishap after another as the brothers take turns trying to care for the baby individually, and they soon discover the only way to survive the week is to work together as a team – something they haven't done since they were children. As they slowly get the hang of things, they find themselves on unexpected journeys of self-discovery and begin to rebuild their relationships as brothers, as well as repair damaged romantic and professional relationships in their respective lives…all while rediscovering their love of Christmas.
The movie is witty, clever, and heartwarming. Andrew Walker, Tyler Hynes, and Paul Campbell all delivered triumphant performances, and they all shined throughout the film. It was evident that there was a great deal of respect among the actors and nobody upstaged anybody in this film. It is highly recommended for all. "Three Wise Men and a Baby" garners an A rating. Bravo.
"Three Wise Men and a Baby" is from Lighthouse Pictures Inc. Shawn Williamson, Jamie Goehring, Trevor McWhinney and Jonathan Shore are executive producers. The movie is produced by Jameson Parker. Terry Ingram directed the movie from a script by Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad.

Asian PE raises $6.6bn in Q1, led by RRJ Capital
This year's sum is nearly half of the $11.2 billion raised by Asian managers in the same quarter last year, with over half of capital attributed to a fund run by Hong Kong's RRJ Capital.
Charles Ong's RRJ Capital accounts for half the Asian PE capital raised in the first quarter
Asian private equity funds that held a final close in the first quarter raised a total of $6.6 billion, with more than half coming from the $3.5 billion garnered by RRJ Capital's second vehicle.
The region contributed a small slice of the $67 billion taken in by the 129 PE funds globally that closed in Q1, according to a Preqin report. North American managers raised $36.4 billion via 63 funds, with 30 Europe funds accounting for $22 billion.
The $6.6 billion was raised by 28 Asia funds that closed in Q1. It represents about half of the $11.2 billion raised by 19 vehicles focused on the region during the same quarter last year.
It counters the capital-raising trends of the US, which in the first quarter of last year saw $27.3 billion brought in by 67 funds, and Europe, where 23 vehicles took in $15.1 billion.
One reason for Asia's decline in fundraising can be attributed to a movement among managers of raising smaller funds in frontier markets in Asean, says Mitul Patel, manager of Asia research at Preqin.
They include vehicles focusing on markets such as Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. "Managers may raise a smaller fund first to gain an idea of investor interest in these regions," Patel tells AsianInvestor.
"Asia fundraising is still heavily weighted towards smaller-sized growth and venture vehicles," which offers opportunistic exposure to new and growing businesses and industries in the region, he notes.
Of the 28 Asia funds that closed in Q1, six were growth capital funds and six others were distressed vehicles.
The buyout fund category represents more than half of the total capital raised during the quarter, but it is skewed by the reported close of RRJ Capital Master Fund II at $3.5 billion last month.
While Hong Kong-based RRJ Capital – run by brothers Richard and Charles Ong – has not yet made a formal announcement, it is said to have held a final close on Fund II despite falling short of its initial $5 billion target.
However, it took only seven months for RRJ to raise the sum, which exceeds Bain Capital's $2.3 billion Asia Fund II, which closed in mid-2012.
Richard Ong is a Goldman Sachs veteran who previously headed China-focused PE firm Hopu Investment Management, while sibling Charles hails for Singapore sovereign fund Temasek.
Their second fund was the fourth-largest PE vehicle to have closed in Q1 on a global basis. Europe's Cinven and EnCap Investments of the US were tied for the biggest fundraisers during the quarter, each having closed a vehicle at $5 billion.

How Many World Records Does Eminem Really Have?
Leon Bennett/Getty Images
By Pauli Poisuo/April 13, 2020 2:59 pm EST
Eminem has been one of the most famous rappers around (if not the most famous one) since The Slim Shady LP dropped in 1999. His humble beginnings, discovery by Dr. Dre, and rapid ascension to the upper echelons of fame have been the stuff American dreams are made of. Meanwhile, his often controversial output and tumultuous personal life have kept his name in the limelight whenever the music alone might not have been able to do it. Whether by design, or through simply being that good at what he does, the man is very, very talented at keeping his name on people's lips.
Despite no doubt getting a lucky break or two over the course of his early career, the thing about Eminem is that he's a genuinely good rapper. How good? Guinness World Record good. Not even just one or two records, either. In fact, you would be surprised at just how many world records Eminem has to his name.
Eminem has so many world records, you guys
Mark Ralston/Getty Images
Eminem has as many world records as some other super-successful artists have Gold records. In fact, a search at the Guinness World Records website reveals that Eminem's current tally is somewhere around no less than eight world records. Yeah, turns out that when he claimed to be "Rap God," he could walk the walk at least as well as he talked the talk ... both of which, really, are the same thing, in this particular case. Many of Eminem's Guinness World Records are related to his sheer commercial success as an artist. He holds the records for "the top-selling U.S. album act of the 21st century," and "most successive U.S. albums to debut at No. 1 by a solo artist," and several other accomplishments in that vein. However, there are two records that speak directly of his sheer skill as a rapper: "Most words in a hit single" (1,560 words in 2013's skill showcase "Rap God"), and "Largest vocabulary for a recording artist."
Interestingly, Eminem does not appear to hold the official world record for fastest rapping. Though multiple outlets reportedly claimed that he (once again) broke that particular record with 2020's "Godzilla," Okay Player reached out to Guinness World Record's Rachel Gluck, who confirmed that they don't actually keep track of that particular record.

HEY VERN, IT'S ERNEST!
HEY VERN, IT'S ERNEST!
(CBS, September 17-December 24, 1988)
Emshell Producers Group, DiC Entertainment, L.P.
MAIN CAST:
Jim Varney – Ernest P. Worrell, Auntie Nelda, Dr. Otto, Sergeant Glory, Baby Ernest, Astor Clement
Gailard Sartain – Chuck, Lonnie Don, Matt Finish
Bruce Arntson – Existo the Magician, Mike the Clown, Bill, singers
Mac Bennett – Mac
Daniel Butler – Willie the Homemade Robot, Earl the Barber, Ernest's Tongue
Bill Byrge – Bobby
Debi Derryberry – Skeeter, various
Mark Goldman – Eddie, various
Denice Hicks – Mrs. Clown, singer
Jackie Welch – Mrs. Simon Simmons, Coo, singer
Hey, Vern, it's Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell: the fictional character created by Nashville advertising agency Carden and Cherry for use in various local television ads.
First appearing in 1980 in an ad for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders for their appearance at Beech Bend Amusement Park, the ads were shot using a handheld camera in the home of producers John Cherry and Jerry Carden, and later Varney's. They were structured in a way that the viewers would take the place of Ernest's unseen neighbor, Vern, as Ernest would talk to Vern about something before eventually working his way around to a favorable review of the product he was advertising. Vern, portrayed by the camera, would always indicate his annoyance towards Ernest and his antics by doing things such as slamming the door in Ernest's face or shaking his head "no" in response to Ernest asking him to do something with him. Ernest, however, was perpetually oblivious to Vern's dislike of him as Ernest regarded Vern as his closest friend.
After the initial ads garnered enough popularity to bring in additional clients, Ernest began appearing in not only local ads for areas outside of Tennessee, but also in national spots for Coca-Cola products, Mello Yello, Chex Cereal and Taco John's. Varney would sometimes have to shoot 25 different versions of a spot in a single day to accommodate each advertiser. Additional members of the Worrell family, all portrayed by Varney, began to be worked into the spots to add additional variety and flavor to the Ernest brand.
With his popularity at an all-time high and his catchphrase "KnoWhutIMean?" entering the American lexicon, Carden and Cherry expanded the brand into movies with Knowhutimean? Hey Vern, It's My Family Album in 1983, Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Golden Beam in 1986 and Ernest Goes to Camp in 1987. The movies, though not critically well-received, were produced on small budgets and became financial successes as a result. The following year, Ernest was given his own Saturday morning TV show.
Produced by Cherry's production company, The Emshell Producer's Group, in association with CBS and distributed by DiC Entertainment, Hey Vern, It's Ernest! debuted on September 17, 1988. It was written by Bruce Arntson, Daniel Butler, Jacqui Drew, Steve Leasure, Glenn Petach (both of whom also wrote the previous films) and Gil Templeton with music by Arntson. Each episode would feature unrelated short sketches based around a central theme or scenario that Ernest would set up:
"I thought you said a ty-PHOON."
"I thought you said 'a clock at NOON'."
"A giant macaROON? You know, it could work."
-Haircut: Ernest would go to get a haircut and ask his barber, Earl (Daniel Butler), to make him look like a "Wall Street tycoon", but Earl would always mishear him and render his hair into another form that rhymed with "tycoon." After the initial shock to the outlandish hairstyle, Ernest would remark "It could work."
Down in the mouth.
-Ernest's Tongue: Butler, in a tongue costume on a mouth set, would play Ernest's tongue as it was exposed to several kinds of food.
Talk about a second childhood...
-Baby Ernest: Varney would portray his younger self with his head through a hole in a crib with an attached doll baby body and give a baby's interpretation of something his parents had said or done.
Atten-SHUN!
-Sergeant Glory: a drill-sergeant character that appeared shortly before Ernest in a Purity milk spot, Glory (Varney) taught a class of recruits about the theme of the day and gave them two rules to remember, the second always being "Obey all rules."
The last person who messed with Auntie.
-Auntie Nelda: Ernest's aunt (also Varney) who offered her unabashed opinion on anything.
A chip off the ol' (wooden) blockhead.
-Woody: Ernest's ventriloquist dummy that resembled him.
This is what happens when you don't clean hidden areas, kids.
-Dust Bunny: a dusty bunny puppet that would enter and leave a scene by sneezing and dropped by to talk to Ernest for a bit.
Dr. Otto and his creepy third hand on his head.
-Dr. Otto: the evil mad scientist (Varney) from Dr. Otto who was always creating some sinister invention in his lab.
Sound effects so easy, your baby sibling could do it.
-Lonnie Don's School of Hollywood Sound Effects: Lonnie (Gailard Sartain), a sound effects wizard, demonstrated how to make a sound he used from one of his fictional movies. The procedures, and sounds, were always the same: cupping the mouth with a hand and blowing a raspberry.
-Matt Finish: A play on "matte finish", a type of non-glossy photo paper, "photographer-at-large" Matt (Sartain) loved taking pictures of everything.
-Mrs. Simon Simmons' Mind Your Manners: A parody of Emily Post, Mrs. Simmons (Jackie Welch) would give an etiquette lesson that would often end up with her abandoning protocol.
The family that pies together stays together.
-My Father the Clown: a spoof of family-friendly sitcoms that focused on the life of professional clown Mike (Arntson), his stay-at-home wife (Denice Hicks), and their two sons, aspiring clown Skeeter (Debi Derryberry) and ordinary boy Eddie (Mark Goldman). Eddie was often the victim of Mike and Skeeter's clown pranks.
Pick a card, any card.
-Existo the Magician: Existo (Arntson) was a clumsy magician that couldn't even perform the simplest of tricks correctly.
He's a pinball lizard (pun courtesy of the show, not your blogger).
-Mac and George: Mac (Mac Bennett) talked about his roommate George, an iguana seemingly capable of doing many things humans could (but never on camera).
Bobby and Chuck keeping dry.
-Chuck and Bobby: brothers Chuck (Sartain) and Bobby (Bill Byrge) would always find themselves in madcap adventures. The characters appeared in various Ernest films as well.
"Have a nice day."
-Willie the Robot: a homemade robot (Butler), also from Dr. Otto, who had to go through life with only a smiley face painted on his bucket head to convey his emotions.
Although the series didn't last beyond a single season, Varney did take home a Daytime Emmy Award for his performance. Ernest, meanwhile, continued to appear in commercials, 8 more films, and even received his own talking doll by Kenner in 1989. Gradually, the phenomenon that was Ernest began to die down, resulting in his largely leaving the national consciousness (outside of tributes and parodies) and returning to his regional roots. Varney, however, grew to have a long and varied career in the movies. After his death in 2000, Carden & Cherry had animation company face2face create a CGI version of the character for new commercials in 2005. John C. Hudgens, an advertising and broadcast producer from Little Rock, Arkansas, provided the voice for the character after having played an Ernest-like character in several regional commercials. The revival, which was met with disdain from fans, was short-lived.
The original complete series DVD.
In 1988, DiC released two episodes to VHS. GoodTimes Entertainment picked up the ball and released two three-episode compilation tapes. In 2011, Mill Creek Entertainment released the complete series to DVD, and re-released it in 2017. The complete series is also available to stream on Amazon Prime Video with a CONtv account.

One of the most interesting areas of research in recent times is artificial research and computers. There has been increasing growth in the technology sector in past decades and the number of technology products in the homes of millions has also grown exponentially. Moving forward, many are questioning how areas of research such as A.I will affect humanity as a whole. Furthermore, as PCs become more and more integrated into the lives of billions, the effect this may have on human life is also being questioned.
Artificial intelligence is a step forward from traditional programming that is often encountered throughout computers. The use of AI involves creating processes that are independent of humans. This means that leading AI programs are able to learn and make decisions without the influence or pre-programming of humans. This means that there is a possibility of acumen life forms to be created by humans, such as the robots that we are all very familiar with in movies.
However, it's important to understand that the prospect of a robot with human capabilities in regard to thought and learning is still a long way away from becoming a reality. Although there have been a lot of breakthroughs in recent years regarding robots and the manufactured intelligence that is often created for them, an autonomous human-like robot is projected not to become a reality for at least another few decades.
Even though human-like robots may not be coming for a little while, other manifestations of AI and computers have made huge impacts on the world already. One particular area that has been increasingly disrupted through AI is that of the financial markets. Today, there are quite a few large hedge funds that utilize completely technical strategies that involve manufactured intelligence and machine learning. These hedge funds are able to predict certain outcomes in the financial markets and allow for their investors to enjoy increased return because of it.
The emergence of machine learning has allowed many large financial institutions to try out ways of predicting market outcomes outside of traditional means. Traditionally, many firms would look to theorize as to what will happen to the market from a largely qualitative point of view. However, thanks to technological developments, there have been many financial professionals that have looked towards algorithms and machines to dictate what may or may not happen in the markets in the future.
The algorithms that are being used by financial firms often look at millions upon millions of gigabits of data in a short amount of time. Once the data is analyzed, the algorithms are able to make assertions about what is likely to happen following certain trends in the share market. The ability of these algorithms to process information will be hundreds and hundreds of times that of an average human. Thus, making machine learning processes a huge disruptor to the investing community as a whole. Many large banking institutions are now placing more investment in areas of AI in order to stay up to date with these developments.
With the above being said, there is still much room for improvement when it comes to manufactured intel and the markets. Unlike humans, these algorithms usually don't have the nuances of human logic to be able to differentiate useless info from useful info. This often leads to algorithm projections that are based on junk information, leading to wrong predictions.
Overall, artificial intell and computers are disrupting and changing the face of many industries around the world. It's certainly fascinating to see what the future holds for these areas, being able to see just how much of an impact technology will ultimately have on our lives.

The Facility Services Office takes pride in ensuring that all of our facilities are clean, safe and up-to-date. The District follows a maintenance plan to ensure all buildings receive necessary upkeep on an annual basis.
The Middleton-Cross Plains School District will be requesting bids for the renovation of the roofing systems at our District Operations Center, 2130 Pinehurst Dr, Middleton, Park Elementary 1209 Park Street Cross Plains and West Middleton Elementary school 7627 Mineral Point Road Verona.
A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 10 AM, April 13th at 1209 Park Street in Cross Plains moving to West Middleton and finishing at the District Operations Center.
As a result of the federal law AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) all primary and secondary schools are required to develop and implement a plan for managing all building materials which contain asbestos. Included in the AHERA Act are the requirement to notify annually all parents, guardians and staff members, as well as organizations representing them, of activities and events with the asbestos containing building materials.
Asbestos has been used in many building materials due to its outstanding insulating and strengthening properties. When it is undisturbed or intact it poses little hazard to human health. It is only when damage has or may occur that the quality of the school's management program becomes an issue.
In 1988, all buildings owned, leased, or "under the control of" the Middleton - Cross Plains Area School District were inspected by EPA accredited inspectors, with building material samples analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the School District prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for administering the asbestos located within its buildings, safely and responsibly.
Environmental Management Consulting, Inc. has been contracted to accomplish the surveillance and inspections. Where asbestos containing materials are noted, appropriate maintainance, monitoring, repair or removal are conducted to ensure no health hazard develops. Further implementation of the Operations and Maintenance Program will continue under the supervision of Bill Eberhardt, Facilities Services Manager.
Asbestos containing synthetic flooring and mastic was appropriately removed by certified workers according to all AHERA protocol at Northside Elementary School.
Prior to remodeling, asbestos bulk sampling of suspect material was conducted at Northside Elementary School. Results are summarized in the management plan.
The District's AHERA three year asbestos re-inspection was completed and results are summarized in the management plan.
Short-term workers (outside contractors e.g. telephone repair workers, electricians, etc.) must be provided information regarding the location of asbestos in which they may come into contact. All short-term workers shall contact the lead maintenance person before commencing work.
Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District also requires that all new building materials introduced into the School District are free from asbestos. For all new buildings/additions, the architect responsible for the design certifies that to the best of their knowledge, no asbestos containing materials are used. If new buildings are acquired, they too will be inspected.
The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District maintains a list of location(s) and type(s) of asbestos containing materials found in each school building along with a description and time-table for their proper management. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan is available for review in each school office. Copies are available at 35 cents per page. Questions related to the plan should be directed to Lance Winslow, Environmental Management, Inc. at 920-648-6343, or by contacting Bill Eberhardt, Facilities Services Manager at (608) 829-2341.
MCPASD issues requests for proposal throughout the year. Check this page periodically to see what RFPs have been issued.
MCPASD has regular surplus sales throughout the school year. From time to time, other surplus items will be listed for sale.
The school district uses the Wisconsin Surplus website for its sales. MCPASD has held multiple auctions since the 2012-13 school year. Visit the webpage and scroll down until you find the MCPASD link. After you click on the link, you will be taken to a page with terms and other information, along with a link to a catalog and another link that has pictures of the items available.
For information, contact Bill Eberhardt at 829-2341.

Hey Down Unders! Hope you're having a good week. SO. One of the books I picked up from the library a few weeks ago was Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai, published by HarperCollins. I started it around midnight thinking, I'll just read a few pages. Ha! No. That so did not happen. I was up til two in the morning because I just couldn't stop reading. It was beautiful. It was touching. It was instantly grab you round your middle and pull you in. BUT, before I continue, I want to point out the illustrators and creators of the jacket cover: Zdenko Bašić and Manuel Šumberac.
The reason why I picked up this book was because ONE) The title sounded intriguing, and sounded like a book I would like. TWO) the cover art was beautiful and purpley and I already sympathized with the main character because of the way the girl was depicted on the cover. I couldn't see the face or attributes of the girl - she's all in shadow, but I wanted to. These two illustrators did a fantastic job of conveying the emotional aspect of this book though the jacket illustration.
As for the story: It's the story of a Vietnamese girl who has to leave Vietnam and comes over to America because of the war going on, ending up in Alabama. It's told in free verse, being concise, impactful. Telling it through verse instead of prose allows the emotion of the piece jump through. The moments where the girl is struggling with American words and culture is revealing. There's a moment where she says something along the lines of, she wanted to go back to Vietnam where she was smart, and not an idiot like she seemed to be in America.
*Oh! And here's a video of the author reading from her book.


Aaron Quinonez is a former Marine who served 8 years in the Marine Corp with 1 combat tour in Iraq in 2003. Aaron was part of the elite Special Forces team, 1st Anglico. Their mission was to control the close air support and artillery on the battlefield. Aaron reached the rank of Sergeant, became the units close combat instructor, and a master parachutist. After returning home Aaron found work as a janitor, working his way up to floor technician, then supervisor, and finally night operations manager.
After several years working in the industry, Aaron decided to strike out on his own and created Reliable Commercial Cleaning (RCC). RCC began cleaning military installations, specializing in floor care using new innovative floor care technology that was far superior to traditional water based wax. Through his use of superior products and the strict attention to detail learned in the Marines, Aaron has built a superior janitorial company founded on the principals of reliability, honesty and commitment.
Due to his military service, Aaron suffers from the ill effects of PTSD developed during his time in Iraq. Aaron has gone through multiple therapies through the VA, but did not find true healing until God set a path for him in the mission field. For seven years now, Aaron has traveled a few times each year working on sustainability projects, building churches and schools. Aaron has found healing through serving others. Last November God called upon Aaron again to lead other struggling veterans onto the mission field so they too could find the hope they had lost. QMissions and Operation Restore Hope were soon born. Through his dedication and commitment to his passion to serve others, Aaron now leads teams of veterans on the mission field serving the poor while restoring the hope in his comrade's hearts.

Perfect Christian or a psychopath possessed by the devil? Malcolm Day reviews the life of the recently canonised bleeding saint, Padre Pio (1887-1968).
When the Italian monk Padre Pio was canonised on 16 June 2002, the ceremony was greeted with as much fanfare as if Italy had won the World Cup. The Catholic adoration of this new saint puts him on a par with the world's holiest and has won him more devotees than Francis of Assisi or Bernadette of Lourdes. Some eight million visitors each year throng the little village of San Giovanni Rotondo in southern Italy where the friar lived; only the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico attracts more pilgrims. Without a doubt the most popular saint-to-be made in modern times, the miracle-working Padre Pio was also the most controversial.
In perhaps the most extraordinary volte-face ever performed by the Vatican, its official line about Pio changed from regarding him as a psychopathic fraudster suspected of fornicating in the confessional to agreement that this simple friar from Apulia was a paragon of virtue so blessed with the power of God that just a touch of his cloak would suffice to cure disease.
Christened Francesco Forgione, he was born in the village of Pietrelcina on 25 May 1887. It is said his special nature was recognised early on in childhood, and he entered the Capuchin Order at the age of 15. That same year, on 20 September 1902, he is said to have heard a voice telling him that he would be scourged and crucified like St Francis of Assisi, the first known Christian to exhibit marks resembling the wounds of Christ's crucifixion (see below). Pio was first imprinted with the wounds during ecstatic prayer in 1915 but, although he felt the pain, the wounds themselves could not be seen until 1918, on the anniversary of the original voice. Again, while in an ecstatic trance, kneeling in prayer before his crucifix, the visible wounds appeared on his hands, feet and in his side.
Padre Pio is said to have suffered the stigmata for the next 50 years, until the time of his death, aged 81, when the marks disappeared, leaving his skin without blemish. He said he found them embarrassing and humiliating, and conducted Mass wearing mittens to hide the blood which flowed most profusely during the Eucharistic ritual.
But a suspicious Vatican, under the leadership of Pope John XXIII, launched a series of investigations in 1960, including the bugging of his confession box, in an attempt to expose Pio as a fraud. Although there was no denying that the stigmata penetrated his hands, its report claimed that he used nitric acid to induce the wounds, and had assignations with women in his cell. The founder of Rome's Catholic University Hospital said the monk was mad, a self-mutilating psychopath possessed of the devil who exploited people's credulity. The so-called "odour of sanctity" accompanying his wounds was no more than eau de cologne applied for an indulgent sting of self-mortification. The Vatican banned him from taking Mass.
But not everyone blackened his character. Persistent rumours circulated of apparent cures happening in his name. When, in 1947, the present pope, a mere priest at the time, journeyed from Poland to have his confession heard by Padre Pio, he came away with such an impression of holiness that he later asked the monk to pray for a female friend who had throat cancer. Eleven days later Wanda Polawska was pronounced "inexplicably" cured. She lived to witness Pio's canonisation in Rome. It is perhaps not surprising that Pio's rehabilitation stepped on apace once the present pope took office at the Vatican in 1978.
The change in the Vatican's appraisal of their mysterious monk, if anything, has been a spur to even more investigations. Scores of testimonies from doctors and surgeons, both academic and those treating Padre Pio, have come forth. Sceptics claim that the stigmata are psychosomatic in origin – the result of mind over matter – and that, depending on your preference, auto-suggestion, self-hypnosis or a form of hysteria can account for the condition.
In the case of auto-suggestion, it is said that the working of the mind coupled with strong emotions could induce the wounds in a person who is in an abnormal state of consciousness, such as ecstasy or hypnosis. Dr Martin J Markey, a clinical psychologist, says that self-hypnosis can result in a wide range of phenomena, but they will always be "organically and neurologically possible". Self-hypnosis can briefly cause anæsthesia, or loss of sensation, and therefore a lack of pain perception in the limbs, but there is no comparable explanation for stigmata apart from some kind of self-mutilation.
Several medical doctors have made examinations of Padre Pio to ascertain the nature of the wounds and assess the possibility of his being an hysteric. No evidence was found to indicate that the wounds were self-inflicted; even more remarkable, they never appeared inflamed or infected, as would be expected of 'normal' persistent wounds. Examiners also noted that the wounds were never observed to be in the process of healing. In contrast, when Pio underwent a routine hernia operation, the incision healed up normally, but the stigmata remained. The remarkable stability in their condition has defied medical explanation. Professor Francesco Di Raimondo – a surgeon who has helped the Vatican to certify miracles attributed to Padre Pio – said that he had examined the monk's stigmata and found them to be "medically inexplicable".
But Pio cannot be said to have a body that functioned normally; he suffered greatly from illness through much of his life. There were times when his temperature could rise to almost impossible levels – as high as 1180F (480C) according to one claim – shattering normal clinical thermometers. He always recovered from these bouts of high fever which never induced hysteria. One of Padre Pio's closest assistants, Bill Martin, saw him at the worst period of his life when he was suffering horribly. He maintains that if Padre Pio had been subject to hysteria, this would have manifested at such a time; instead, the friar always remained his usual good-humoured self.
The Catholic Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith – formerly known as the Holy Office and, before that, the Inquisition – kept Padre Pio under surveillance for 50 years, but never detected any sign of hysteria, despite the fact that such evidence would have been useful to his enemies! Dr De Vincenzi once witnessed Pio in a state of ecstasy and at first diagnosed a cataleptic state – a trance-like seizure sometimes accompanied by loss of sensation and consciousness, often associated with hysteria – but changed his mind, saying that Pio's ecstasy was beyond scientific explanation.
One of the more sensational aspects of this enigmatic saint involved his experiences immediately before entering a state of ecstasy. His spiritual director in the 1930s, Padre Agostino, spoke of Pio's "terrible diabolical vision of women" dancing naked about the cell where he lay sick. Agostino has asserted, with bold confidence, that there was no doubt that Pio was still a virgin. Others find these visions to be symptomatic of an hysterical personality, quoting Sigmund Freud's analysis of hysterics as having a tendency to exhibit sexual abnormalities.
Apart from spooky wounds and weird physiological aberrations, Pio was renowned for having another mysterious facility also attributed to saints and mystics of the past; the ability to be seen in more than one place simultaneously. Known as bilocation2, it has been recorded in the hagiographies of Saints Antony of Padua and Ambrose of Milan. In 1774, St Alphonsus Maria de'Ligouri is said to have appeared at the bedside of the dying Pope Clement XIV, while he was observed to be in his cell four days' journey away.
Witnesses to Padre Pio's bilocations include several cardinals. In 1925 he was seen entering a sealed room in the Vatican and kneeling at the side of Pope Pius XI, when it was known that the monk was present in San Giovanni Rotondo at the time. Among the most remarkable of the stories of his bilocation was his appearance in the air over his home town (San Giovanni Rotondo) during the Second World War. Allied pilots based at Bari, in southern Italy, were flying sorties into Nazi-held territory during a search for a cache of weapons hidden somewhere in the area of San Giovanni. In their approach to the town, several pilots reported seeing an apparition in the sky in the form of a monk with upheld hands. They also described some sort of 'force-field' that prevented them flying over the target rendering them unable to drop their bombs.
According to Bernardo Rosini, general of the Aeronautica Italiana, and part of the United Air Command at the time, one after another mission returned to base reporting the same apparition. Initial mockery gave way to apprehension and, eventually, an incredulous US Commanding General decided to take up a squadron under his personal command with the same result. Bombs from all the sorties obliterated the surrounding area, but not one fell on San Giovanni Rotondo. The American general, not one to be made a fool of lightly, determined after the war to go to this little town and seek out the monk blessed with special powers who was known to live there. On entering the Capuchin monastery, he saw a group of friars and immediately recognised among them Padre Pio as the one who had appeared in the sky. Immediately Pio went to greet him, put a hand on his shoulder, and is reported to have said: "So it is you, the one who wanted to do away with us all." According to Renzo Allegri3 the general knelt before him in awe and subsequently converted to Catholicism.
On being asked about his bilocations, Padre Pio is said to have replied that it was an "extension of his personality". Another example was reported by the Piacenza daily newspaper in 1968, shortly after his death in September of that year. Some 10,000 people had gathered in the rain at San Damiano, a town in which lived a woman who had made an inexplicable recovery from advanced intestinal tumours after being visited by a nun sent to her by Padre Pio. They observed a strange solar phenomenon, similar to those reported at Fatima in Portugal in 1917, after which they saw an image of a monk suspended in the sky. They believed it to be Padre Pio. Hundreds of photographs were taken and examined in Paris by the National Office for Study and Research in Air and Space. No scientific explanation was offered. Sceptics claim the photos are either fake or represent unknown atmospheric conditions.
Of course, those who have benefited from their encounters with Padre Pio tend to believe in his miraculous gifts. Among these are the parents of Matteo Collela, a seven-year-old boy admitted, one night in June 2000, into the intensive care unit of the hospital founded in San Giovanni Rotondo by Padre Pio. Matteo was in an advanced stage of meningitis; by morning, nine of his vital organs had stopped functioning and he was given no hope by doctors. Matteo's mother and some friars who knew Padre Pio conducted a prayer vigil that night and a sudden, unaccountable recovery followed. On waking from the coma, Matteo said that he had seen an elderly man with a white beard and a brown habit who said to him: "Don't worry, you will soon be cured." This figure was identified as Padre Pio. This event was adjudged by the Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints to be a miracle cure – the second officially confirmed in the monk's name since his death – fulfilling the prerequisite for his canonisation.
Whatever opinions may be held about St Pio's physiology and personality, there is little doubt that remarkable cures have come about in association with his name.
For more on Padre Pio, see FT124:18 and 160:14.
The stigmata are, classically, the wounds suffered by Christ during his crucifixion. The earliest record of someone imprinted with these wounds is from September 1224 (St Francis of Assisi, left). In his broad survey of the phenomenon, Ted Harrison writes that since St Francis, there have been over 400 known stigmatics, of whom just over half were members of religious orders and only about 50 were male. There have been 25 living stigmatics in the last quarter century.
Remarkably, some wounds have taken specific shapes, such as a cross, and even, as in St Pio's case, been invisible.
The Church, though, cannot lay claim to exclusive ownership of the phenomenon either. A number of cases of stigmatisation have been recorded among non-Catholics – for instance, a young black girl, Cloretta Robertson, of California, in 1972 – and even among Muslims, who have borne wounds that correspond to those received by Mohammed in battle.
Lance wound – usually in the right side of the chest, corresponding to where a centurion pierced Christ's side with a spear to end his suffering. The legendary artefact known as the 'Spear of Destiny' is said to be this very spear and the centurion was condemned to immortality.
Heart wounds – Some stigmatics feel a chest pain they attribute to their heart being pierced. Rarely is anything further confirmed; in the case of Blessed Charles of Sezze (d.1670), a post-mortem revealed the wound piercing his heart was in the shape of a crucifix.
Hands – it is known that the Romans usually put nails through the wrist to better bear the weight of the body, yet records of a stigmatic with wounds in this position (Gladys Motta; see next issue) provide one of the exceptions. Mostly they are on the palms and opposing region on the back of the hand, taking a variety of shapes (eg. slits, patches, squares, and holes, some completely though the hand).
Ring – very rarely, some devout soul will report receiving a 'marriage' ring direct from Christ. The visible sign is a thickened band of skin around the finger; others remain invisible leaving an indentation around the finger.
Feet – like the nail wounds on the hands, these take a variety of shapes, sizes and depths. None has been reported on the heel, the most likely location for the lower nail.

1) Letters Vol 1, No 511. The collected letters of St Pio make over 20 volumes. I have not seen these directly but they are consistently cited by the many authorities on his life.
2) The appearance of an individual in two places simultaneously is an uncommon but ancient phenomenon. Many believe it can be practised at will by mystics, saints, ecstatics and holy figures, but the precise nature of the event is not known. The majority belief is that a double is projected that is perceived as solid and indistinguishable from the original; but because, in some cases, the 'original' is in meditation or trance, an alternative theory is that it is the double which is left behind while the original is 'teleported' to the new location. Little serious attention has been paid to the phenomenon, but in research for the Society for Psychical Research, WH Myers describes secular accounts of phantoms of living relatives as cases suggestive of bilocation (see Phantasms of the Living, London, 1886). One interesting feature common to many cases is the proximity to death of the individuals seen.

Super Strike Eagle is a 1993 arcade-style combat flight simulation video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was later released in Japan as .

The game involves flying airplanes that tests the player's Sidewinder missile and machine gun firing skills against various non-aligned nations that were historically notorious for housing extremist leaders during the Cold War. The game was released in North America, Europe, and Japan approximately simultaneously. In the Japanese version, real political flags are not used unlike the North American version.

Despite the game's title, it is unrelated to the similarly named F-15 Strike Eagle series.

Gameplay

The main character in the game is a pilot flying for the United Nations whose sole objective is to bring various governments around the world back into cooperation with the UN. Each time a military campaign against a certain regime is completed, the flag of the nation in question is again raised at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Libya, Iraq, Cuba, and North Korea offer Soviet-manufactured aircraft like the MiG-27 and the MiG-29 for the player to in order to advance the war effort.

There are various types of targets in the game, including air, land and water targets in an environment that gives players permission to freely roam around the battlefield, limited only by the player's fuel supply. Land targets include nuclear power plants (but often include anti-air weapons and tanks); the player may suffer from radiation sickness after destroying nuclear plants from too close a distance. Radiation sickness must be healed using one of the player's limited sorties or it will become fatal. Weapons in the game include guns, missiles, electronic jammers, and bombs. Each mission on every war theatre consists of both mandatory and optional targets. It has been noted by gamers that all in-game weapons have the same explosion graphics, regardless of them being air-to-surface missiles or air-to-air missiles.

Shooting the optional targets gives the player a higher score. Furthermore, destroying airfields, although not necessarily required to complete a mission, would stop opposing MiG-29 fighters from being ordered by the AI-controlled commander to destroy the player's aircraft. In the more advanced missions, players can shoot chemical weapons factories and terrorist camps for bonus points. Although the player's progress cannot be saved to the cartridge, there are a number of passwords the player can use to resume missions. Crashing the airplane and being killed in action will result in the flags (located at the United Nations building in New York) being lowered to half-staff. Dying in the game will also produce the playing of "Taps" while the world mourns the deceased pilot.

There is a practice round and then the player is thrown into real-life combat zones in order to test the skills learned in the practice round. Each combat zone is divided into a day level and a night level; day levels are considered to be an introduction while the night levels are considered to be the coup de grâce and allow the player to finish of the last of the dictator's defenses. Targets become progressively more difficult to destroy. Unlike most shooter games, the player only has one plane. If the player crashes, the game is over and a screen indicating the nations (if any) that were reclaimed by the player displays.

Reception
Nintendo Power gave the game a rating of 3.45 out of 5 in their March 1993 issue of their magazine. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game a score of 65%.

MANILA Bothered by viral videos of an Ateneo de Manila University junior high students bullying fellow students, MalacaAang said on Friday the school should investigate the incident and do something about it.
I watched that. I was bothered by what I saw, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said when asked for comment during a Palace media briefing.
I think the school should investigate the incident and do something about it. You cannot be allowing bullying inside the classroom and school besides there is a law against that, he added.
Panelo, also Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, was referring to Republic Act 10627 or AntiBullying Act of 2013, which provides that any school administration, student, parent or volunteer shall immediately report any instance of bullying.
The law added that the secretary of Department of Education "shall prescribe the appropriate administrative sanctions on school administrators who shall fail to comply with the requirements under this Act. In addition thereto, erring private schools shall likewise suffer the penalty of suspension of their permits to operate.
The viral videos showed a much smaller student, reportedly a taekwondo practitioner, verbally and physically attacking another student.
I think they should investigate, first, why there was such a onesided fight, given the fact that the one who mauled was much smaller.Nagulat nga ako iyon pala ano siya, magaling sa taekwondo (I was surprised that he is good in taekwondo), Panelo said.

Readers comment on intolerance, global warming, election tests, Social Security and more.
Have you noticed lately how the most intolerant people are those who also are the quickest to preach tolerance for all people?
You don't have to look far for evidence: On the TV show the "View," when guest Bill O'Reilly disagreed with host Whoopie Goldberg and company, he was cursed at and Goldberg walked off the set during the interview.
These are the same people who want to push their pro-abortion, pro-gay and pro-government regulated health care down peoples' throats.
The Sun's editorial pages are sickeningly full of tree-hugging, bleeding hearts. These woe-tellers try make all of us rural-living, gas-guzzling people feel guilty for ruining Mother Earth.
So what if we can't afford a Prius or don't have access to bus stops? Nor do we feel up to bicycling 6 miles to work in the dark! And we don't want to live in your cities of two-laned, pedestrian-friendly boutiques.
Those of us who are Bible believing Christians realize that God's got it under control and this rock we live on is going to melt anyway. All we have to do is be good stewards of what we have, as long as we have breath.
William Hedges, in his letter of Oct. 26, says candidates for public offices must somehow be tested for "sufficient knowledge" to avoid election of uninformed people such as Sarah Palin, and to "protect us from ignorant zealotry."
Isn't his suggestion inconsistent with our concept of democracy? Shouldn't we be able to elect anyone we like?
The problem is not so much ignorant candidates, but ignorant voters. Because of our deteriorating education system, among other issues, our democracy is becoming dysfunctional. Incompetent candidates are swaying the uninformed electorate with lies and negative ads, and are being elected in increasing numbers.
Perhaps we need a screening test for voters?
It's time to realize that, after "We the People," the three most important words in our Constitution are "government shall not."
Those three words are repeated over and over in our Constitution, and for good reason. Unfortunately, we have had a spate of career politicians at every level of government who ignore those three words.
Politicians who think the solution to every problem is an ever-reaching government. Politicians who think the way out of debt is more debt. Politicians who don't even bother to read a bill until it is passed. Politicians who care more about jaywalking, faux bricks and golf courses than real crime, jobs and policemen.
It's time, voters, to rid government at all levels of this well-known, small oligarchy of family names simply because they ignore "government shall not."
If you are a woman and have no knowledge of the woman's suffrage movement and do not vote then shame on you! If you are African-American and do not vote, shame on you!
Please send a message to special interest money that, as Americans, we have independent brains. Negative ads are wasteful, and we can think for ourselves.
Liberal is not a bad word. Independent is not a bad word. Vote on the facts. But, please, vote. Otherwise don't whine.
In his Oct. 26 letter Darrel Kirkland writes that a progressive income tax is "just unAmerican" and associates it with the "Communist Manifesto."
The federal government and many state governments already impose a graduated tax, and have for a very long time. So we've been communists for a very long time, and the manifesto is common bathroom reading.
After working for 40 years and having almost 8 percent of my paycheck going to Social Security and Medicare taxes and doing without raises so that my employer could match this 8 percent tax, I am really angry about the media and politicians calling Social Security an entitlement. I've worked for these payments and now I want my money back.
Some in Congress have been eyeing the Social Security Fund for years and trying to figure out how to have Wall Street get their hands on these funds. Two years ago, I think a lot of people saw how putting their retirement funds in the hands of Wall Street worked out.
I've always been concerned that most federal employees do not participate in Social Security. They have their own Federal Retirement Program. This includes all the politicians.
As the folks who manage the Social Security Fund are they worried about their retirements?
Listening to the few complain about the noise pollution caused by airboats, makes me wonder: You would have be crazy to live on a lake and put up with such egregious sound and behavior.
Just think, people having fun in boats, on a lake in Florida.
We probably don't need another law that takes personal freedoms away from us, but, who cares about freedoms when we are talking about noise?
If the airboats are restricted, what happens when somebody thinks that boats in general are a nuisance? Maybe we should outlaw those as well. Any loss of freedoms is one too many.
It's no surprise that The Sun would be for a new tax or fee ("One more time," Oct. 28). I've been writing letters to Sen. Oelrich and Gov. Crist to let them know my concerns about this push to expand bus service to Santa Fe College.
Every student at SFC could have to pay up to $6 per credit hour for this fee (for a full-time student that could be $90 a semester). It's not fair to students who live outside Gainesville. Why should they subsidize the city's bus service when they would reap no benefit from it?
If students need bus service let them pay for it. With the price of tuition and books going up who can afford a new fee (tax)?

Chimanta 2008
For this year's exploration of the tepuis of Venezuela, this pair chose the more remote steep rock walls of Chimanta (2700m), formed from a very hard type of sandstone, some of the oldest in the world. Previous exploration of the peak by cavers and ecologists has been limited, due to it having the most overhanging wall in the world (100m+). Although the main wall remains unclimbed, they made the first ascent of a hard (E7 6b) route on Amurita, where the overhang sheltered them from the heavy rain that fell on several days: however the resultant rise in river levels added to the hazards of the jungle, delaying their return journey.

Wildfire smoke. (Image Credit: Vashti Ohashi)
The Smokanagan, Part One: How wildfire smoke affects children
Vernon woman's call for action: "We need to adapt to the environment."
Brieanna Charlebois
Smoke advisories loomed over the Okanagan for most of August last year; now dust advisories have been dominating most of this year's winter and spring.
Though there's nothing locals can do to prevent poor air quality outside, human rights lawyer and mother of two, Kelsey Robertson began asking the question: what can we do?
"I became interested in the wildfire smoke because I have two young children and in August last year, it sucked. I think there was about three weeks straight where there were air quality advisories so we couldn't go outside, and that's when I became concerned and started phoning people to try to find out more."
Soon though, her concern turned to frustration.
Her first calls were to the City of Vernon, who directed her to phone Interior Health, who said there was nothing they could do without recommendations by the municipalities.
"It was sort of a cyclical thing where they all seemed to be relying on someone else to have be able to supply information and solutions, so it ended up being unresolved, which was interesting from my perspective."
Related: Air quality improves slightly
Related: Okanagan air quality to deteriorate again
From there, she joined the sustainable environment network society (SENS) and began learning about the various issues associated with poor air quality — everything from physical side effects to mental health.
One of the main issues she came to learn were the detrimental health effects — specifically for children — caused by wildfire smoke. Research has shown that smoke and smog affect even the healthiest children much more than adults because their respiratory system — nose, throat and lungs — is still developing. Scientists have determined that the poor air children breathe can cause health problems for many years.
Since starting to make calls last summer, Robertson has made strides in the community and become somewhat of an advocate for change within the city.
"I think it's a matter of what can we do today and then what can we do to plan for the future," she said. "Getting high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and having PurpleAir monitors stations around the city is key today. Then in terms of the future, it's all about policy planning. We're looking right now at getting a recreation centre and, though it's not completely set in stone, it's part of our long-term plan."
A HEPA filter is a type of mechanical air filter that works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke. PurpleAir monitors are a proven air quality monitoring solution. Robertson is hoping to attract people to buy these monitors because, once installed and registered online, it will allow people to compare air quality throughout the city — where quality is particularly bad and where it is safe to be outside.
Related: No end in sight, smoke is here to stay
While another indoor facility is her long-term goal, she is hoping to gain momentum for what can be done today: opening up public places and extending their hours when advisories are in effect. She spoke about one particularly bad Sunday last year when the recreation centre was packed, and the mall, which had recently had its front doors driven through, was full of smoke, and the public library was closed.
"There was really nowhere to go which is a problem, especially when you have kids," she said.
"We need indoor facilities that you can take your kids to when there's these air advisories or with climate change, there are colder days in the winter where it's unbearable to be outside. We just need to adapt to the environment and that's natural adaptation that the Okanagan needs to have."
She said that currently, if there was a state of emergency, the only place in the city that people could go for clean air would be the hospital.
"In terms of just general emergency planning, I think that's a failure."
But, since last August, she said there have been some successes. For instance, worried that the smoke advisories could potentially continue into September, she began advocating for HEPA filters to be placed in schools. Though the school board is awaiting the city's assessment, Robertson said they are seriously considering the technology. She considers it a "win" because of the detrimental effects on children, but still hopes schools will also begin using PurpleAir monitors so they can determine whether it's safe for kids to play outside at reccess.
"There's really critical information about health and I don't think the Ministry of Environment is really putting that out there, but I think people need to know and we need to start making changes," she said. "It's just about adaptation for the future."
