A peptic ulcer develops when the stomach lining or first part of the small intestine begins eroding. Symptoms include a gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen between the breastbone and the navel, belching, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, loss of weight, and feeling tired and weak. If you are diagnosed with a peptic ulcer, your medical provider may prescribe antacids, acid blockers or antibiotics to reduce the pain and heal the ulcer. In addition to following your doctor's treatment plan, there are several things you can do to avoid irritating your ulcer and prevent future flare-ups.
Take all prescribed medication. If your health care provider has determined your peptic ulcer was caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), antibiotics are necessary to eradicate the bacteria. H. pylori is a bacteria that weakens the stomach's protective coating, enabling damage to the sensitive layers below. If you have H. pylori you will probably be prescribed what is known as "Triple Therapy." This involves you taking three kinds of medication for a certain period of time.
You will need to take two antibiotics, as well as a proton pump inhibitor. The inhibitor will work to reduce acid production.
Avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Some NSAIDs can exacerbate your ulcer and cause pain and irritation. Common drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen can make the stomach more vulnerable to acid and pepsin. These drugs are frequently found in nonprescription medications that you might take to treat a headache or muscle pain. Keep this in mind, check the ingredients and speak with your doctor about whether or not you can take NSAIDs.
Be wary of antacids. Many antacids are available over the counter which can relieve irritation and pain of heartburn and indigestion. While they might ease discomfort, they will not treat or cure an ulcer. If you want to take antacids be sure to speak to your doctor about it first as they can block the absorption of your prescribed medication, and consequently lower it's effectiveness.
In general doctors suggest taking antacids at least an hour before, or two hours after, you take your prescribed medication.
Easily accessible antacids include magnesium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
Avoid food that increases the production of stomach acid. The foods which may irritate ulcers vary from person to person. Some people can eat whatever they like without any increased irritation, but this is not true for everyone. You will have to learn over time which foods cause you problems and cut them out or limit them in your diet. A good place to start is with foods which increase your stomach acid production.
Patients with peptic ulcers should avoid diets rich in red meat, fried or fatty foods, and refined foods, such as flour or sugar.
Be cautious of dairy foods with whole milk or cream.
Spearmint, peppermint and other minty foods seem to increase the production of stomach acid.
Diets heavy in these foods can lead to further ulcer irritation and an increase in stomach acid.
Steer clear of food that may irritant your ulcer. As well as foods that can provoke increased production of stomach acid, some other foods can irritate your ulcer more directly. In practice this will vary from person to person, but there are some general recommendations for those with an ulcer. The first of these is to try to avoid eating spicy food. The sting you feel from spicy food if you have a cut on your finger or mouth can be replicated in your stomach or intestine if you have an ulcer.
The second recommendation is to avoid citrus and acidic foods and drinks. Highly acidic orange or lemon juice could irritate the ulcer and cause you pain.
You should also be wary of tomato products, onions and garlic and heavily seasoned food in general.
Eat plenty of fiber. Diets rich in whole grains and fiber rich foods, with limited dairy, help control the production of stomach acid. Ensure you get plenty of fibrous vegetables as part of your healthy balanced diet. If you are not consuming enough vitamin-rich foods your body may find it harder to heal your ulcer.
Good sources of fiber are whole-wheat bread, pasta and brown rice.
Opt for limited amounts of lean meat, and limited low fat dairy products.
There is no single recommended diet for those with an ulcer, so you should think about what food causes you irritation and discuss this with your doctor.
Eating foods rich in antioxidants (blueberries, cherries, tomatoes, squash, and bell peppers), flavonoids (apples, celery, cranberries, onions, garlic, and tea), B vitamins and calcium (almonds, beans, whole grains, spinach, kale, and sea vegetables) may also help to reduce your symptoms.
Continue to drink 6-8 glasses of water each day as part of your healthy diet.
Eat meals according to a regular schedule. A peptic ulcer sufferer is not advised to eat sporadic meals that vary in size. Doing so may cause disruption in the normal production of stomach acid, and end up irritating an ulcer. Keeping meals small and regular can help level out stomach acid. Your stomach may deal better with small regular meals than large irregular ones.
Avoid eating anything at least two hours before you go to bed.
Reduce consumption of alcohol. Heavy consumption of alcohol is a risk factor in the development of peptic ulcers. If you have been diagnosed with an ulcer, continued consumption of alcohol can contribute to irritation of ulcers and you should avoid it if you have an ulcer. This is especially true for strong alcohol and liquors.
Alcohol can also lead gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach, that can severely impact the amount of time it will take for an ulcer to heal.
Cut down on caffeine. Much like certain foods, caffeine can contribute to an increase in the secretion of stomach acid, which in turn increases the likelihood of your ulcer becoming irritated. Many stimulants have this effect and are best avoided when you have an ulcer. Caffeine is found in a wide variety of drinks such as coffee, tea, energy drinks and soda, so be sure to check the label if you're uncertain.
It is thought that even decaffeinated coffee can increase stomach acid production. So it may be best to avoid even decaffeinated coffee.
Avoid nicotine. Quit smoking and avoid second-hand smoke. The chemicals in cigarette smoke can weaken the stomach lining, which irritates current ulcers or may even cause new ulcers to develop. Similar to other stimulants, nicotine may contribute to an increase in the production of stomach acid, which can irritate an ulcer. Nicotine can also lead to inflammation which hampers the healing process.
Reduce stress. Although there is an uncertain correlation between stress and ulcer pain, some ulcer sufferers find that when emotional stress in their life rises, so does the ulcer irritation. A program that reduces stress may have beneficial consequences and help you avoid irritating your ulcer. Try regularly practicing relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation or tai chi.
Some research suggests that a formal stress reduction program with a class might be more effective for those with an ulcer than doing it at home alone.
Does smoking marijuana affect a peptic ulcer?
It will help if you extract; it's a natural painkiller.
I'm in the process of healing a now cauterized bleeding ulcer, but also need a diet rich in iron. How can I combine nutrition needs for both in my diet?
Kale has iron in it and is also recommended in several ulcer diets because of its nutrients and alkalinity. A lot of leafy greens will have some iron in them, as well as other nutrients, and are low in acidity.
Does working out help treat ulcers?
Walking helps. The main thing is not to irritate the stomach area. Don't do crunches before or after you think you have an ulcer.
I have been taking Esomprezole for 10 days and am still having pain; is this normal?
Stomach pain is one of the side effects of Esomprezole. You should consult your doctor to make sure that it is nothing serious.
Does hot chocolate contain caffeine that could irritate my ulcer?
A serving of hot chocolate generally contains around 5 mg of caffeine. This may not be enough to irritate an ulcer by itself, but you should probably steer clear of any chocolate products, as chocolate is known to cause heartburn. Be sure to discuss your food and drink options with your doctor.
Can I eat small quantities of fried food, chocolate and citrus when I have an ulcer?
Call your doctor immediately if you experience a sudden increase in abdominal pain or sharpness in the quality of the pain, vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, or blood in your stool or black, tarry stools.
To avoid irritating an ulcer, try to avoid acidic foods like citrus and anything spicy, since they can make an ulcer feel worse. Additionally, you should stay away from foods containing dairy or high amounts of sugar that increase the production of stomach acid since this can lead to further irritation. To control the production of stomach acid, consume foods rich in whole grains and fibre, some examples are whole-wheat bread, pasta, and brown rice. If you typically eat large meals randomly throughout the day, try switching to small, regular ones to help level out your stomach acid.

Like most people, I've been fascinated by systems designed to tell me more about myself: Why am I here? Why do I do the things I do? Am I unique...or are there others similar to me?
In her book Goddess Signs: Which One Are You?, author and professional astrologer Angelica Danton gives an original perspective on the link between Chinese astrology and goddess spirituality. Based on decades of research, she realized there was a fascinating correlation between the 12 animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac and the characteristics of ancient goddesses.
I have to say that 80% of the descriptions for my type fit me. The only parts that didn't fit were financial (I'm a spender...not a saver!), and some of the relationship elements. But now I understand where the "loyalty" fits in: that trait of the Dog always threw me for a loop, because I never considered myself particularly loyal. (You have to be trusting for that, and while I assume good intentions with others, I keep people at an emotional distance.) She explains that Dogs are loyal to their chosen family, which makes perfect sense to me. She even filled in the blanks about the emotional detachment, especially as a Metal Dog. (Metals are intellectuals and usually have the ability to detach well.) The author also gives an overview of the other elements: Wood, Earth, Water, Fire. As you can see, there are layers of complexity that you can use to get greater insight into your animal/goddess Sign.
For each Chinese animal sign, the author lists other correlations including Tarot card, Moon phase, celestial bodies, colors, crystals and gems, incense, herbs/plants, and more. Associated goddesses are described in greater depth, and numerological correlations are also listed. (For example, you reduce your birth number, and compare it to a chart.) If that's not enough, you also get a list of about 20 Positive Traits for each type, and 20 Negative Traits. Again, I found this to be very accurate. Finally, there is a compatibility chart for each sign, rituals and tools, and a meditation unique to that sign's spiritual growth. For example, the meditation for Dog Women are for new friends.
At 265 pages, Goddess Signs: Which One Are You? is chock-full of helpful information. And men, you're not left out, either! There is a section devoted to God Signs of men, including famous contemporary examples including the likes of Keanu Reeves, Tobey Maguire, Johnny Depp, J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson, Bono, and more!) There is even a paragraph devoted for each of the possible combination of Goddess and God signs.
One thing that I am confused about, however: it's my understanding that there is a Rabbit and Sheep in the Chinese Zodiac. I've never heard of a Goat or Cat in Chinese astrology. Judging from the birthdate chart, it seems that Rabbit correlates with Cat, and Sheep correlates with Goat in Danton's system.
What I like most about this book is that it provides an original combination of Chinese animal sign and Goddess archetypes...something I've not seen before. A good deal of the information in the book was new to me, and I'm always delighted to stumble upon unfamiliar ideas--especially if the information is practical. You'll certainly learn more about yourself with Goddess Signs, as well as how your animal sisters see the world.

(October 9, 1903-June 17, 1982)
Myron Pierman Mynie Sutton was born October 9, 1903 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and died there June 17, 1982. He began piano lessons at age nine with a church organist, and he began clarinet lessons when he was 17. He later took up alto saxophone. While attending Stamford Collegiate he played piano at dances, and at 18 he joined St. Anne's Symphonic Band, playing clarinet. At age 19 he organized a school band and joined a quartet in Niagara Falls, N.Y. He quit school in Grade 12 and played in pianist Joe Stewart's dance band from 1924 to 1926. He was also a member of the Birds of Paradise, a nine-piece band led by Eugene Primus. He declined trombonist J. C. Higginbotham's invitation to accompany him in New York City around 1927, preferring to join tuba player Lester Vactor's Royal Ambassadors, a 10-piece band working in Buffalo, until they disbanded in 1931. Back in Canada in 1931 he and pianist John Walden formed a six-piece band, the Canadian Ambassadors, which was based in Guelph, Ontario. In 1933 the band moved to Montreal. During the next six years, Sutton led the band through a series of short-term engagements in different cities.
He wrote many arrangements and at least one original composition, Moanin' at the Montmartre, for the Canadian Ambassadors. The Canadian Ambassadors disbanded in 1939. Between 1933 and 1941, he frequently lead small bands, usually quintets drawn from the Canadian Ambassadors. He registered two songs for copyright in the United States, To See You Smile and Dreams Seldom Come True. He was a member of the Canadian Clef Club, a musicians' association. In 1941, with the intention of quitting music, he gave away his clarinet and moved back to Niagara Falls to take care of his mother. He worked as a welder at Abex Industries from 1943 until he retired in 1973. Soon after returning to Niagara Falls he was asked to put together a band for a dance, and continued to lead the 10-piece group part-time until 1945. Thereafter he worked with several pick-up bands, including a quartet called the Casuals. He gave private saxophone lessons. He served more than 30 years on the executive board of the Niagara Region Musicians' Association, where he became a life member in 1967. He founded the Canadian Brotherhood Club of Niagara Falls in 1945 and served as president until his death. In May 1977 he was honoured by the Niagara Promotions Association for outstanding community service as a musician. He continued performing until two weeks before his death.
The papers of Myron Sutton were donated to the Concordia University Archives by John Gilmore on behalf of May Sutton (widow of Myron Sutton) on December 19, 1984. Mr. Gilmore received the papers from May Sutton on July 19, 1984, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The fonds was transferred from Concordia University's Records Management and Archives Department to Concordia University Libraries' Special Collections March 16-17, 2016, April 19, 2016, April 26, 2016, May 3, 2016, and May 10, 2016.
The fonds provides an overview of Myron Sutton's musical career in the United States and Canada, particularly Montreal. It documents the careers of the various bands with which Myron Sutton was affiliated, and those he led, including the Royal Ambassadors and the Canadian Ambassadors. It also provides general information on the jazz music scene and Montreal night life during the 1930s.

I bought three nucs from the Newfoundland Bee Company in mid-July and today, two and a half months later, each of the subsequent hives are overflowing with bees. Here's a not-so-great photo I snapped during a marathon beekeeping session that shows what I found in one of them when I opened it today. I even found two frames of capped brood in the top deep of this hive. I've never had nuc-hives so full of bees at this time of year before.
I have to applaud the Newfoundland Bee Company. The queens that came with their nucs are incredible. I probably could have gotten a honey harvest from these hives if I had thought to super them up. My only concern is that there are too many bees in the hive and they'll eat through their winter honey stores too fast. I know the cluster will reduce in size by the time November rolls around, but at the moment it would be one seriously gigantic cluster.
I added a third deep and a hive top feeder to the hive two weeks ago because there were just so many bees in the hive, a hive that was already filling fast with honey, that I had to give them something else to do. The third deep was a mix of bare foundation and drawn comb. They filled the drawn comb but didn't do much with the bare foundation. I suspect the bees are more in a nectar-storing mode than a comb-building mode at this time of year.
At any rate, I put an escape board under the deep four days ago with the intention of reducing the hive back to two deeps. I knew there were a lot of bees in the hive, but I didn't realize it was this much. That's the escape board on the ground carpeted with bees. I left it there and let them gradually walk back into the hive.
Even with a top deep nearly full of honey (except for two frames of capped brood), is there enough honey in this hive for such a large number of bees? I don't know. I've never experienced this before. Perhaps it's the perfect balance of bees to honey. Perhaps it a disaster in the making. I'm out of my league on this one. All three of the nuc-colonies I got from the Newfoundland Bee Company are in this condition. It's incredible and slightly unnerving at the same time.
For the record, I built up the nucs on drawn comb with an extra frame or two of brood from my other colonies and fed them sugar syrup mostly through frame feeders until there were enough bees to forage on their own in late August. Pretty much my standard procedure for building up nucs. Nothing special. Other than fantastic genetics in the queens, I can't explain it.
UPDATE (the next day): I have some theories on why the hive is so full of bees, other than good genetics. One reason could be the dry summer. Not much nectar but a lot of pollen coming in, pollen that helped boost brood production. Even my older colonies with older queens have more bees than I expected.
I've never been concerned about late-season swarming before, but I am now.
I decided to play it safe and put a third deep on this hive. I took peek under the top cover and the bees came boiling over, thousand of them holding on to the top cover. I don't care what time of year it is (except the winter), whenever I see that many bees in a hive again, I'm adding a super to give them more room, either a brood box or a honey super, but something.

Wow – thats an impressive number of bees! What a sight! They'll have a great head start going into winter. I'm sure they have a ton of honey stored away, but as a precaution will you stock them up with sugar cakes when the weather finally turns cold? Also, with so many hives and Italian bees, do have a problem with robbing?
I also got my nucs from The Newfoundland Bee Company. The bees are so docile, even at this time of the year. One of my nucs is doing really well. Very active, lots of bees still bringing in pollen and taking down lots of sugar syrup. My other nuc, which was very strong, seems to have slowed down since our cold spell last week. There's very little traffic, they stopped taking down syrup (I switched out the frame feeder for the German rapid feeder and they stopped taking it down- so I'm switching back tomorrow) Their numbers seems to have dwindled. I was convinced the queen was dead so I reluctantly opened up the hive and luckily I found her in the brood box. I didn't continue the inspection to look for eggs or brood because I've had lots of robbing on the go recently and didn't want to keep the hive open for any length of time. To deal with the robbing, I reduced entrances and made robber screens and that really helped. Always an adventure!
Sorry for the late reply. Out of town for awhile.
I saw robbing for the first time this year. I triggered it twice. The first time by adding concentrated anise oil to some syrup, the second time by inadvertently leaving some honey outside. Reducing the entrances curbed it. I didn't know about robbing screens until this year. A clever concept, though I heard from someone who said they didn't work when he had extreme robbing (in a different climate, one with nectar dearths on August).
I've never had a problem with robbing until now. My bees are a mix of Italian and Russian, for the most part. The darker ones with more Russian genetics are the most sensitive to temperature and will shut down quickly as it gets cold. So how a colony is doing at this time of year often has more to do with genetics than anything else.
I plan to put sugar cakes above the top bars in November after the bees cluster down below just to be safe.

El Marbridge Building es un inmueble de oficinas en 1328 Broadway, en el lado este de la Sexta Avenida entre las calles 34 y 35 en Herald Square, Manhattan, Nueva York. Se inauguró en 1909 como un edificio de 11 pisos, utilizado en parte por Rogers Peet. Hasta octubre de 1910 se encontraba frente al edificio de apartamentos Alpine, que estaba en la esquina noreste de Broadway y la calle 33. Las tiendas Alpine y antiguas entre las calles 33 y 34 fueron demolidas para hacer espacio para el Hotel McAlpin de 5 millones de dólares a fines de 1910. Al otro lado de Broadway se ubicaron las tiendas Macy's Herald Square y Saks Incorporated, con la tienda Gimbels justo debajo.

Inicialmente, John McGraw, entonces gerente del equipo de béisbol de los New York Giants, dirigía una sala de billar en el edificio recién inaugurado. Estuvo asociado en esta empresa con Mike Donlin, uno de los jardineros de los Gigantes. El fenómeno de los juegos de billar Willy Hoppe se hizo cargo de este negocio en enero de 1912 cuando McGraw y Donlin se mudaron al Studebaker Building, 48th Street y Broadway. Allí empezaron una nueva sala de billar y billar.

Propiedad
Sam Kronsky formó un sindicato para comprar el Marbridge Building en 1920. Abrió una oficina de bienes raíces en 1906 después de realizar un breve aprendizaje. Su especialidad era la refinanciación hipotecaria. La Compañía Samuel Kronsky obtuvo una nueva hipoteca a bajo interés por 2 millones de dólares sobre en enero de 1951. La hipoteca fue extendida por el East River Savings Bank. En este momento, Macy's utilizó una gran parte del sótano de la estructura para oficinas.  Kronsky murió a la edad de 76 años en 1966 en Palm Beach, Florida.

Un sindicato de inversores encabezado por Henry Goelet y Morris Furman lo compró en octubre de 1954. En abril de 1969, Harry B. Helmsley e Irving Schneider compraron treinta edificios que comprendían los activos totales de Furman-Wolfson Trust, valorados en 165 millones de dólares. Los veintidós edificios de oficinas involucrados en la venta incluían la mitad del terreno debajo del Marbridge Building. RFR Holding compró el edificio en 2000 de la cartera de Investment Properties Associates, anteriormente controlada por Harry B. Helmsley.

Dudley Scrymser Macdonald, corredor de bienes raíces, fue gerente del Marbridge Building durante treinta y cinco años. Nativo de Princeton, Nueva Jersey, su padre era el médico personal del presidente Woodrow Wilson cuando era presidente de la Universidad de Princeton. Macdonald murió en 1959. Maurice Meyer, expresidente de los grandes almacenes Meyer Brothers de Paterson, Nueva Jersey, fue ex funcionario de Marbridge Building Corporation. Murió a los 84 años en 1961.

Historia

Como edificio empresarial
El edificio se convirtió en un lugar popular para las organizaciones empresariales. Ashley M. Herron trasladó sus oficinas del St. James Building al Marbridge Building en febrero de 1908. La Lincoln Stock & Bond Company mantuvo oficinas allí en 1910. al igual que S. Andrew Hartman. Emerson Motor Company arrendó un espacio en el Marbridge Building en 1916. La corporación vendió su Emerson Four por 395 dólares. Fue anunciado como el automóvil para cinco pasajeros con una distancia entre ejes de 2,8 m y el precio más bajo del mundo.

JG Gavigan, Irving J. Isbell y George Plane, de la firma JG Gavigan & Co., fueron arrestados por inspectores del Servicio Postal de los Estados Unidos en su oficina del Marbridge Building en la mañana del 19 de agosto de 1911. Fueron acusados de utilizar el servicio de correo para defraudar a los inversores en acciones de Manhattan Real Estate Company. Esta corporación también estaba ubicada en el edificio. El servicio postal respondió a las quejas de todo Estados Unidos. Un gran jurado emitió acusaciones contra los tres junto con un expresidente de Manhattan Real Estate Company. Fueron acusados de fraude postal en relación con esquemas inmobiliarios en Long Island.

Los miembros del comité sobre las reglas y regulaciones del curso para una carrera de yates de larga distancia entre la ciudad de Nueva York y San Diego se reunieron en el Marbridge Building en marzo de 1912. La carrera estuvo asociada con la Exposición de San Diego de 1912, que mantuvo sus oficinas en el establecimiento.

Como zapatería
El edificio fue renovado para espacio adicional de oficinas y tiendas en 1951 por CP Xenis, ingeniero. En 1955 Sebago-Moc Co., el calzado arrendó una tienda en la estructura al igual que Kitty Kelly Shoes. Esta última era la tienda más grande de una cadena, con un área de más de 557 m². Incluía un entrepiso que continuaba hasta la calle 35.

En febrero de 1960, se convirtió en el hogar de Mercedes Shoe Import Corporation y Milan Shoe Corporation. Más adelante en el año, Gamins, Inc., Matthew Gronfein y Julius Alderman alquilaron un espacio allí. El Marbridge Building fue principalmente el hogar de la industria del calzado femenino en la ciudad de Nueva York en 1960. La industria del calzado masculino se centró en el área de Reade Street y Duane Street.

El Empire State Building y el Marbridge Building fueron los principales arrendadores de la industria del calzado en la década de 1970. A fines de 1984, estas empresas comenzaron a trasladarse a un área del centro de Manhattan desde la Quinta Avenida hasta la Sexta Avenida entre las calles 56, 57 y 58.

Siglo XXI
Publicis, una empresa de marketing, trasladó sus oficinas en Estados Unidos al Marbridge Building en 2002. La empresa es una división del Publicis Groupe de París. Alquiló 10 590 m² de espacio en el edificio de noventa y tres años. El espacio abarcaba cuatro pisos en forma de E. Morris Adjmi Architects, entonces arquitecto de la firma MAP, alentó a los ejecutivos de Publicis a echar un segundo vistazo cuando al principio se opusieron a mudarse allí. Resultó que el diseño en forma de E permitió a Publicis ubicar a muchos empleados en el mismo piso evitando la aparición de una compañía de seguros. Adjmi diseñó una escalera elíptica desde el piso 8 al 11. Esto proporcionó una continuidad en el dibujo de los pisos juntos. Publicis utilizó su espacio en la fachada norte para colgar una pancarta roja con el logo de la cabeza de león de la empresa.

Canes look to flatten Wake Forest
LOOKING DOWNFIELD: Freshman Robert Marve looks to pass in a game earlier this season. Steve Root // File Photo.
After getting their first ACC win this season, the Miami Hurricanes will look to ride their tide of momentum to their homecoming game against Wake Forest.
The Canes (4-3, 1-2) will be in search of their third straight win against the Demon Deacons (4-2, 2-1).
"It's a tremendous challenge for us because it's a veteran team," head coach Randy Shannon said. "They've got some phenomenal players on defense. They're a very veteran defense, an older team like Central Florida. It's another ACC game which is very vital."
The Canes struggled in the first half last week against Duke. The Hurricanes trailed the Blue Devils 17-7 with 1:33 remaining in the first half, but quarterback Jacory Harris came in and led Miami to a touchdown, cutting the lead to 17-14 right before halftime.
Harris and the Hurricanes went to work in the second half, outscoring Duke 35 to 14. Harris finished 18-for-28 for 185 yards, with four passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.
The win snapped a six-game losing streak in conference play.
"It was nice coming out after [Robert] Marve, just felt good," Harris said after the win. "I was just having fun running Coach [Patrick] Nix's offense. It's a great offense to be in. It gives you a lot of opportunities to make something happen. I knew when my time was called I would come out and do it."
Wake Forest is coming off a 26-0 loss at Maryland. Still, the Demon Deacons are 22nd nationally in scoring defense, allowing 16.8 points per game, and quarterback Riley Skinner leads the ACC in passing, averaging 214.5 yards per game.
Miami leads the series against Wake Forest, 5-3. The last time the Hurricanes played the Demon Deacons, back in 2005, the Canes downed Wake Forest 47-17. Wake Forest's last win against the Canes was back in 1944.
"They're a good team," tight end Dedrick Epps said. "We know we have to go out there and play our game. Our offense can do that."
True freshmen have definitely made an impact for the Canes, scoring seven combined touchdowns. The next team with such a productive freshman class is USC, with three freshman touchdowns.
"Five freshmen, in one game, scored touchdowns. That's unheard of at the University of Miami," Shannon said. "That's us doing a good job as the coaching staff, getting these guys prepared for the long haul. When we spread the ball around on offense we're probably going to win the game."
In the last two games Miami's defense hasn't give up, and they will look to carry that over into Saturday. The secondary, though, will be tested with Skinner throwing the ball. Skinner is a veteran and knows how to exploit defenses.
Against Wake Forest, the Hurricane offense must also bring the same energy they brought in the second half against Duke.
Running back Graig Cooper and wide receivers Thearon Collier and Travis Benjamin have the ability turn something small into enormous gain. The Canes will need this against the Demon Deacons.
And when the Hurricanes need a clutch play, look for wide receiver Aldarius Johnson to be the key.
As usual, Shannon will look to keep his team composed and focus on their homecoming game against Wake Forest.
"They're understanding that's just two games," Shannon said. "Now what we need to do is take the next step in the third game. We have to stay focused like the last two weeks. This team is staying focused."

Porto Santo has very little crime at all. Violence against tourists is pretty much non-existent, though the usual common-sense precautions should spare you any grief. Pickpockets and bag snatchers are not a problem, but it is still worth while being cautious about leaving valuables on the beach when you go for a swim.
If you are the victim of theft, you must report it to the police and get a copy of the report, if you want to make an insurance claim. The police station (tel +351 291 982 423) is northwest of the centre of Vila Baleira, on Rua José S. Moura Caldeira. If your passport is stolen or lost, you must contact your consulate on Madeira or in Lisbon to have a replacement issued.

Administrator Green Announces Next Phase of Feed the Future On First International Trip
For Immediate Release. Thursday, August 31, 2017.
Yesterday, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Mark Green announced the selection of 12 target countries for the next phase in America's global hunger and food security initiative, Feed the Future: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Kenya, Mali, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda.
With the selection of these 12 countries, the second phase of Feed the Future will be focusing its efforts on promoting long-term, sustainable development that brings partners together to help people harness the power of smart agriculture to jumpstart their local economies and lift themselves out of poverty. By equipping people with the tools to feed themselves over the long term, Feed the Future is addressing the root causes of hunger and poverty. This long-term investment builds communities that are more resilient to drought, famine and other natural disasters, and less dependent on emergency food assistance.
The announcement comes one year after the historic passage of the U.S. Global Food Security Act of 2016. To further the goals set forth in this Act, Feed the Future will make targeted, cost-effective investments to create opportunity, and build the capacity of these countries to reduce hunger, poverty, and malnutrition.
The U.S. Government selected these countries based on their need, as well as their opportunity for progress and partnership. Each country has committed to working with the United States, and to investing ample effort and resources of its own to tackle food insecurity in its country.
Feed the Future's results to date:
Unlocking nearly $2.7 billion in agricultural loans and leveraging more than $800 million in private sector capital investments for farmers in Feed the Future countries, since 2011;
Generating nearly $2.6 billion in new agricultural sales from 2011 to 2016;
Helping U.S. businesses compete and expand into new markets, while increasing demand for U.S. products. By supporting policies that open trade and reduce corruption, U.S. food and agricultural exports to Feed the Future partner countries increased by $1 billion from 2009 to 2016; and
Saving lives. Today, 9 million more people are living above the poverty line and 1.8 million more children have escaped the devastating, lifelong consequences of poor nutrition early in life in areas where Feed the Future has invested.

3 Quality 3.1 Wood is a natural product and susceptible to changes in an outside environment. Changes in weather conditions or extremes of temperature can cause a reaction in timber used outdoors. Wet weather can cause panels to lose shape but this process will usually be reversed when the weather becomes drier. This is natural and usually normal shape will return. We cannot prevent or give any guarantee against discolouration, minor warping, bowing, twisting, splitting and other movement once the product has been accepted. We will not refund any monies for issues of this kind. 3.2 If you receive your product untreated you must fully treat your product prior to exposure to the elements and you must maintain a good level of treatment.

We will not accept responsibility for any damage caused by incorrect assembly of fittings, incorrect hanging or lack of protective treatment. Our warranty does not cover paint, stain or oil finish even if applied by us as timber is a natural product therefore, if the atmosphere is wet, damp or humid the wood can take on water and expand. Likewise if temperatures are dry wood can lose water and shrink which can cause the product to expand and contract at different speeds. This can affect decorative coatings and cause the timber to displace or twist. We will not be liable for your failure to visually inspect the product on a regular basis and be aware of the need for maintenance as clearly set out in the care and maintenance leaflet which will accompany the product on delivery.
3.4 We will not reimburse the cost of repairs undertaken to goods without our prior consent, and such repairs would also invalidate your guarantee. All goods (except wooden gate joints) are supplied with a warranty of 12 months from the date of purchase.

You may contact us to end your contract for goods at any time before we have delivered and installed them and you have paid for them. In some circumstances we may charge you for doing this. This does not affect your rights where goods are faulty or mis-described.
6. Liability 6.1 We are only responsible for losses that are a foreseeable consequence of our breach of these terms and conditions. We do not accept liability if we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations by anything you do or fail to do, or is due to events which are beyond our reasonable control nor for any cost regarding installation of the goods.

Anybody who has seen anybody go through drug or alcohol rehab knows that it is not an easy process. The person has usually been afflicted by the addiction for years and has tried everything to kick it on their own. People as a whole want to be able to do things on their own, especially in the United States where there exists the idea of the rugged individual. The person that can conquer anything by themselves with the right attitude and the right dedication to hard work.
But let's face it, nobody can go through this life alone and this is especially true when dealing with addition. Often the people who are addicted have it the worst, but that does mean that the people around them do not also suffer. There are tons of people who suffer at the hands of an addict whether it be through emotional torment or financial ruin, there are so many things that drive and fuel addiction that there is no one solution for every person.
Now when you are searching for a drug and alcohol rehab center, there are so many different things to take into consideration, but what we can say from experience is that you will normally want to pick a place near you. A place that you are familiar with and a place that is close to friends and family. Sometimes it is better for the person to stay away from people, especially if they are a bad influence, but at the same time you might want to be close should anything go wrong.
Finding a treatment center near you is perhaps the best piece of advice that we can give, but do make sure that the Drug Rehabilitation Centers are offering the services that you and the addicted needs. From counseling to long-term stays, there are so many different services that you will want to find one that offers the ones that you need.
Swimsuit season is coming up and that means that it is time to lose all of that winter fat that has been building up during the entire cold season. This is the time to get into shape and work on all of the problem areas and stubborn zones that refuse to give up the fat. Perhaps the most stubborn area and the most important when it comes to swimsuit season is the thighs. Thigh fat builds up very easily on many people and is notoriously difficult to get rid of.
People will try almost anything in order to help drop the pounds quickly, from fad diets to pills that might not even pass FDA standards, getting rid of thigh fat is one of those things that can drive people crazy. Luckily there is something that is proven to work and that goes beyond the normal conventions of diet and exercise. The answers can be found at https://www.howtolosethighfat.net/, a site that helps people establish a workout routine that goes beyond that of conventional routines.
Many exercise routines work the entire body, which is good, but may leave certain areas lacking. One of the reasons some areas are harder than others to lose fat in is because they are designed to store fat. From an evolutionary standpoint, storing fat in thighs is great, because we needed to run fast and often, to burn energy in these areas and needing to keep these areas strong.
But what was good for evolution is not good for a swimsuit, so what we need to do is tailor a workout to hit these problem areas harder and to establish a routine that makes the thighs stronger. The end result is having more endurance and thighs that look great in a swimsuit. By following their step by step plan, you can simply get into a routine that helps you achieve your fitness and fashion goals in no time at all.
At one point in their life, almost everyone has dealt with acne, and those who have know how difficult it can be to control. Many people think that there is just one form of acne, but there are actually quite a few. From regular acne to cystic acne, the symptoms and methods of control differ, but one thing is for sure, acne is pretty difficult to get rid of. Many people have tried a bunch of different cures and nothing seems to work.
In the event that they cannot afford to go to a dermatologist, the remedies can be difficult to find and can be very expensive. There is no sure fire way to treat acne, and it often comes down to many different solutions in order to clear acne up for good. And that is why we have researched a number of treatments and found ones that work for people depending on the type of acne they have.
Since there are a number of different treatments and nobody has the same acne, it stands to reason that in order to find the right treatment, you need to do a lot of research. This is what we specialize in and what we have built our business upon. Not only do we know which treatment centers are the best in the area, but we can also help you find the ones that are located near you that have the treatment you need.
With our help you can find out which treatment you need and where to get it. The beauty behind clear skin is that it builds confidence and we can help you achieve that like no other can. We guarantee that we will find the treatment you need at a price that you can afford with the help of http://www.howtogetridofacnescarsfast.org/.
We are and have always been dedicated to giving people the best reviews on the products they need and what. Whether it is a portable razor or a seat cover, you can be sure that what we have to offer is more than just a few reviews on a few products. We try to be as comprehensive as possible and try to give people the type of information that they cannot get anywhere else.
The type of information that does not care about what the people selling the products want, but the information that readers want to read. Information that gives them the ability to see what is out there and allows them to make educated purchases.
Since we opened our doors more than 3 years ago, actually as little as 3 years ago, there has been such an influx of readers that we almost cannot believe it. Something that we do is that we do product reviews in such a way that it allows us to be as unbiased as possible, to give readers what they need without taking self interest into consideration.
So come here for reviews that you can use, reviews that are written from your perspective and reviews that are written with you in mind. We will show you that there are still some pure review sites out there and there are still people that will allow you to find the best deals online without wanting anything in return.


Please spend a couple of minutes to answer four simple, but important questions about your experience this year. By participating, you'll also have the chance to win one of three full NG18 conference passes (23-25 May 2018) we're giving away.
You'll find the questionnaire here. The participation deadline is 14 June, and we'll contact the lucky winners directly after the draw. Good luck!

U.S. wins Tri-Nations lacrosse tourney

For more information, people can visit the Bermuda Lacrosse Association's website at www.bermudalacrosse.com or call Michael Totman at 278-2215.
The U.S. won the fourth annual Tri-Nation Lacrosse tournament.
The 'round-robin' tournament featured three games. Team Bermuda played Canada in the first round taking them to double overtime (6-5 Canada win) and played the U.S. in a close second round game in which the U.S. was forced to work hard for their last minute win (7-6 U.S. win). While team U.S. ultimately won the tournament, team Bermuda displayed vastly improved stick handling and ball skills.
"This year was our strongest team at Tri-Nations," stated Kirk Bridgewater, an attack player for team Bermuda. "Our defence, midfield and attack came together and took Canada to double overtime and then almost beat the U.S. We have some young and very promising players that will make our team even stronger for next year's tournament."
This year's tournament attracted players from all age groups and skill sets. Bermudian Sean Moore (defensive player) and his son Tucker Moore (attack player), who is a student at Saltus Senior School, both played for team Bermuda as did John Buchanan (midfield player), a high school student at school in the U.S.
In the winter, the Bermuda Lacrosse Association plays every Thursday evening at the Saltus Senior School gym and is looking to field a team to go to a tournament in Newport, Rhode Island this summer.
Last summer the team played in the 2006 World Games in London, Ontario to much fanfare and success.
The team is also currently looking for interested students to put together an Under-19 team to participate in the Under-19 World Championships in British Columbia in July, 2008.
Mike Totman is a spokesman for the Bermuda Lacrosse Association.
Lacrosse's potential is huge


President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama and Minister of State, Aviation, Hadi Sirika, to commence the process of repatriating Nigerians who travelled to Russia for the FIFA 2018 World Cup and got stranded after the competition.
The Nigerian football fans got stranded in the country following the activities of some unscrupulous travel agents who cancelled their return tickets and abandoned them to their fate.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Aviation have in compliance with the President's directive taken the necessary actions to bring the Nigerians back.
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a statement yesterday stated that the presidential directive is in line with the policy of the current administration to ensure the welfare of all Nigerians in every part of the world.
It would be recalled that the President Buhari administration had on several occasions ensured the repatriation of Nigerians from foreign countries like Libya and other conflict zones.

Most professional CE is intended to promote public benefit though on-going education rather than enhance the profits of licensees. Regardless, there is room for both types of CE in real estate.
Most states prohibit their licensure enforcement agencies from charging fees that would result in a profit — whether accounting or actual. So this is a dead on arrival.
If so, let's do a trial run with requiring productivity for government employees.
In 32 years of real estate brokerage practice, I've seen no meaningful correlation between formal education and proficiency or professionalism as a Realtor.
Nonetheless, increasing education for licensure is worthy of further discussion.
In my state, the requirement to hold a real estate license is a high school education, two one-week classes approved by the state (which has little relation to the qualification to sell real estate) and a passing grade on the real estate test.
That's a low bar to entry — far too low — and does not serve anyone well.
Appropriate under-study training is an excellent method for licensee development.
By comparison, many law firms require new attorneys to work with seasoned attorneys for extended times to learn skills to represent their future clients best.
Most real estate sales licensees are recruited and told to "get out there and look for business." If they find business, they also find they are not trained how to handle it.
Most buyers and sellers know that there are entities that regulate license law matters and accept complaints concerning license law violations.
However, few know the difference between a real estate law violation and an NAR Code of Ethics violation, much less about where to file either.
Many buyers and sellers think that a local MLS handles consumer complaints, which is incorrect.
Do buyers or sellers of real estate perform any meaningful due diligence before selecting a Realtor? Not usually.
Should complaints be publicly visible or only license law violations that have passed the test of due process?
Buyers and sellers are not likely to change how or when they select a real estate licensee to assist them with buying or selling a property.
NAR has spent huge money on national ad campaigns over the years without much change in how or when consumers decide to select an agent to assist them.
If we ensure quality over quantity with better real estate licensing and retention, educating consumers about how to select a competent real estate is less important.
The core reason that there are "shoddy" agents is simple.
It is because state laws allow and encourage it.
There are shoddy real estate agents because state laws allow it.
Most states also have a low bar of entry to achieve and hold a real estate sales license, as compared to other service professions.
Why? Again, because state laws allow it.
If licensees did not tolerate low legal standards for licensure and practice, there would be a higher bar of entry, a standard of practice and better public satisfaction.
State legislatures most often educated by paid lobbyists — aka "guns for hire" — who push select agendas that are often slanted to special interests and not to our industry's best interest.
Many states did not develop buyer agency laws (buyer representation) until the late '80s and early '90s. They were late to the party and bound by out-of-date laws.
Likewise, today many states do not recognize or address the risks and short-comings associated with unrealistically low bars of entry for real estate licensure.
Shoddy laws allow shoddy licensees.
Shoddy licensees often bring shoddy practices.
Agents shouldn't tolerate shoddy laws, licenses or practices.
Real estate professionals don't need and should not tolerate shoddy laws, shoddy licensees or shoddy real estate practices.

Indigenous communities are at higher risk of hardship from climate-change-caused flooding because of pre-existing socioeconomic vulnerability, a new study shows.
The study's findings also reveal that factors influencing socioeconomic vulnerability in Indigenous communities include the legacy of colonization, attributes of race and ethnicity, income, built environment, elderly populations, education, occupation, family structure, and access to resources.
The study, led by University of Waterloo researcher Liton Chakraborty, found that measuring socioeconomic vulnerability to flooding provides valuable information to support Indigenous flood risk management planning, especially under accelerating climate change.
"This is a first attempt in Canada to assess place-based social vulnerability and flood exposure for Indigenous populations at a national level," Chakraborty said. "The study contributes to knowledge about socioeconomic factors that contribute to flood risk among First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples living on-reserve."
The report captured the percentage of the population and number of residential properties in a 100-year flood zone. The results revealed "hotspots" where flood risk spatially coincided with socioeconomic disadvantage.
Chakraborty also noted that there are considerable data gaps limiting flood risk assessment in Canada and that the federal government should prioritize resources for identifying flood exposure in Indigenous communities. "Part of the considerations should be the dynamic range of geography, topography, and available data inputs from local scale determinations of flood risk," he said.
The study, Leveraging Hazard, Exposure, and Social Vulnerability Data to Assess Flood Risk to Indigenous Communities in Canada, authored by Waterloo researchers Chakraborty, Jason Thistlethwaite, Andrea Minano, Daniel Henstra and Daniel Scott, was recently published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Science.
"To increase the protective factor of face coverings against the highly transmissible omicron variant, we are reminding all employees and students to wear a mask that meets the Public Health Agency of Canada's (PHAC) recommendations in general, non-health care areas," wrote Kate Windsor, Director of the Safety Office in a memo circulated to employees earlier this week. "Supervisors should ensure that employees are provided with appropriate face coverings in respect of their work environment."
Windsor reminds campus that non-medical masks can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 similar to medical masks if they:
fit well
have multiple layers, including at least 2 layers of breathable tightly woven fabric, such as cotton and an effective middle filter layer
"Medical masks that are certified ASTM Level II provide good protection when worn properly," Windsor writes. "Medical masks are typically single use and disposable, but may be reused until visibly dirty, damp or damaged."
Masks are worn properly only if they cover the mouth, nose and chin and fit snugly. As per PHAC's advice, ways to improve fit include:
adjusting bands or ear loops and the flexible nosepiece
tying knots in the ear loops and tucking the sides of the mask so that it lies flat
layering a well-fitting non-medical cloth mask over a disposable mask
keeping facial hair shaved or short, if possible
Two appropriate options for face coverings are available centrally at no cost to units for employees performing essential in-person work (including teaching), via Central Stores catalogue.
Reusable, washable 3-layer cotton and polyester cloth face mask with filter pocket and adjustable ear loops. Order with 5-layer disposable filters; and
Disposable medical grade ASTM Level II masks.
"Please order only what is needed for essential in-person activities – limits may apply," Windsor writes. Employees should bear in mind that supplies must be ordered by their manager/supervisor through Central Stores.
"As a reminder, where an employee is providing services to a person in any circumstance who is not wearing a mask or face covering and is not separated by plexiglass or some other impermeable barrier, the employee is required to wear appropriate PPE i.e., a medical grade mask as well as eye protection."
Eye protection can include appropriate safety glasses/goggles or a face shield (available via Central Stores) and must:
Fit properly and not interfere with the proper fit of a mask;
Provide a barrier to splashes from the side; and
Not create an additional hazard in relation to the type of work being performed.
"Please refer to the COVID-19 Health & Safety Guide for protective equipment requirements," Windsor's memo concludes. "Supervisors should update safety plans as necessary."
The Water Institute and BlackBerry have launched a first-of-its-kind innovation research challenge for professors and students.
The Water Innovation Challenge invites new applications of BlackBerry technologies to address water-related challenges, including the cybersecurity of water systems, water emergencies, and Internet of Things (IoT) water management solutions.
In support of a mutual commitment to help ensure the availability and sustainable management of water, the Water Innovation Challenge will catalyze new research and technological innovation that advances the sustainability and water related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Water resilience is critical for economic development, climate change, and healthy ecosystems.
To learn more about the Water Innovation Challenge, visit the Water Institute website.
Map the System 2022 is underway at the University of Waterloo, according to a note from the Centre for Peace Advancement at Conrad Grebel University College.
Students have until January 31, 2022 to register for this research competition for their chance to win up to $2,000 in cash prizes and compete at the virtual Canadian Final and Global Final at Oxford.
"Map the System asks you to select a social or environmental issue and to explore, probe, and research all the connecting elements and factors around it," the announcement says. "To help you learn more about the competition and systems mapping, the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement is hosting a Map the System Information Session on January 18, 2022 from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. on Zoom. Registration is required."
Questions about the competition can be directed to UWaterloo Map the System Campus Lead, Leah Feor.
Other key competition dates in January include:
January 25, 2022 – Map the System 2022 Launch Event featuring Nobel laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus; and
January 31, 2022 – Registration deadline.
First off, a very Merry Christmas to those members of the University community who are celebrating Orthodox Christmas on January 7. The Eastern Orthodox Church and other bodies using the old Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian Calendar celebrate the December 25 Christmas holiday on January 7. There's obviously a lot of history behind the reasons why the calendar dates differ, more than we could fit into a proper Daily Bulletin article, but you can find out more about the competing calendars online.
Additionally, Sikhs in our community and around the world will celebrate Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti on Sunday, January 9. This celebration honours the birth of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru who played a pivotal role in the development of Sikhism's faith and traditions.
The Warriors Athletics and Rec Virtual Open House will be held on Tuesday, January 11 from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. "Learn how you can get active online with Warrior Rec as we begin the winter 2022 term," says a note from Athletics and Recreation. Sign up here.
By registering you enter yourself into a draw to win $50 from Jimmy's Feed Co.

Teens speak out for alcohol ban
Published 7:00 pm EST, Monday, March 28, 2005
"The longer you delay, the more likely you are to put someone's life at risk," senior Robert Sniffin said. Sniffin was one of about a dozen students, along with teachers and administrators from the high school, who attended a forum at City Hall on a proposed underage drinking law that would prohibit people under 21 from possessing alcohol on private property. Sanctions would include a $90 fine, which would also be levied against anyone hosting a party where underage drinking takes place. As it stands, state law doesn't address underage drinking on private property. Some see that as the state's way of protecting the sanctity of the home. Others, such as the Connecticut Coalition to Stop Underage Drinking, see it as a loophole that puts teens' lives in danger and allows underage drinking house parties to go unchecked. Leaders in more than 40 towns - including Brookfield, New Milford, Newtown, Redding, Ridgefield and Sherman - saw it as a loophole and passed a law to close it. Legislators in Hartford are considering adopting the law as well. However, the law has hit a snag in Danbury. At a forum on the law Monday, members of the Common Council worried the law was too broad. Common Council members said they aren't ready to adopt a law just because other towns have already done so. They want a law that draws a distinction between "Animal House"-like parties and a parent who chooses to allow his or her child to have a sip of wine. Council member Thomas Saadi said the proposed law doesn't exclude religious activities. That means Jews who serve wine to underage kids at a Passover meal could be subject to a $90 fine, Saadi said. Common Council president Vincent Nolan said the council has two problems with the law, which was proposed by a council subcommittee at the behest of high school students and administrators. First, it oversteps parental authority, Nolan said. Second, the law's penalties are too weak. Sniffin, meanwhile, urged the Common Council to adopt the law, then revisit it to make revisions. "This all doesn't have to be done in one shot," he said. Some parents worried the law would be abused by nosy neighbors who would call the police and report underage drinking just to annoy their neighbors. James Clap said the law would "undermine the integrity of the police department" by causing them to respond to hundreds of false calls. Tim Salem, an assistant principal at the high school, asked what specific problems Common Council members had with the law. He said Danbury is beginning to "look bad" since other towns passed it already. High school teacher Lisa Frese was even more blunt. "Now Danbury is the party town because we don't have the ordinance," she said. Some students left the meeting disappointed. "They should definitely put it through faster than they are doing right now," said David Franklin, 17. "I feel some of them are really unsure of which way they want it to go," said David Glynn, 16. The proposed law is returning to a Common Council subcommittee for retooling. It is not scheduled to be discussed at the next Common Council meeting. Meanwhile, the fate of the state law is expected to be decided within the next three to four weeks. Nolan, the Common Council president, urged residents to lobby their state representatives to get that law passed.

Featuring a textured Zytel� scales and a dual 420J2 stainless steel liner InterFrame. Assembled with Zytel back spacers and Torx� fasteners, the result is amazingly rigid. Zytel is a fiberglass-filled nylon that offers excellent toughness and resistance to solvents. Teflon� bearings at the blade pivot and an adjustable pivot screw allow for perfect blade action. The blade is AUS 4 high-carbon stainless steel which gives an ideal combination of toughness and edge-holding ability in a work knife, and also allows easy field-sharpening. Standard models have a bead-blast finish. The M16�-01Z uses their popular spear point slim profile blade with a Razor-Sharp edge. It is ideal for fine cutting and carving tasks. Of course, it features the Carson Flipper, which speeds opening of the blade and acts as a blade guard when the blade is open. The real breakthrough was their ability to engineer their patented* AutoLAWKS� knife safety into all models, which automatically actuates when the blades are open, making these folders into virtual fixed blades when locked. Add to these features the standard removable Teflon�-plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip plus the CRKT limited lifetime warranty, and you have one of the truly great knife values of all time.


There is no shortage of scary news right now, from the stock market to the crisis in the Middle East and Ebola. As you've heard in our classes, children are excellent observers but poor interpreters and, as a result, kids and adults will react differently to information overload. As Alyson Schafer suggests, "Your attitude can be infectious." The two articles above are valuable ones on the topics of talking to your kids about traumatic events and about Ebola.
We're thrilled to be hosting Dr. Tina Payne Bryson in November for our Noted Parenting Author Series. This week Dr. Bryson has two books on the New York Times Bestseller list. Check out this review of No-Drama Discipline and join us on November 13th and 14th to hear her speak!
Whether we're talking to our colleagues or kids, we're all guilty of doling out empty praise like "good job." At PEP we're all about encouragement. One easy way to become more encouraging is to "notice what you see." In this blog post, Teacher Tom gives some great examples of what that might sound like. Take a look.
Grown and Flown is a blog that has caught our attention recently. In this recent post they give some well-grounded advice for parents of high school freshmen, beginning with, "Do not talk about college." Surprised? Read why.
Thanks very much for including our post and blog in your roundup.
You're welcome! And thanks for being there for parents of no-longer-at-home kids.
