I don't have medical insurance, where can I get care for my injury?
You were in an accident and you were not at fault. Your car is damaged and you have sustained injuries that needed an ambulance ride to the emergency room and follow up medical care.
Your car is the least of your worries. That nagging pain in your back and the headache that won't go away is your primary concern. Neither the bills from the Riverside hospital nor the ambulance company that treated you are concerns to be ignored. And to make things worse, you do not have any medical insurance. What do you do?
Call me, Gary G. Goldberg, a Riverside personal injury attorney with over 30 years of experience. I can help you get the medical treatment you need. I will also handle your case personally, not hand it off to an assistant. I will help you protect your rights and ensure you are made whole again.
What if an ambulance pulls up to an accident scene and takes you to a hospital emergency room where you are treated. Shortly after that, you receive bills from the ambulance company and the emergency room. Your first reaction is, "Help, I have no medical insurance to pay these bills." What do you do?
The first thing to do when you get home is to call your automobile insurance company to see whether you have med-pay coverage. This type of coverage may pay medical bills up to $5,000 or more. Don't wait to be injured in an automobile accident where you risk not having the insurance to pay for your medical expenses. Call your automobile insurance company and ask about medical coverage. However, if you get hurt and have no insurance call me. I will be able to help you find a doctor who will treat you now and get paid later. This is known as 'treating on a lien'. Most doctors are not willing to treat a patient on a lien unless they have an attorney. A medical lien is a promise that your attorney makes to a doctor who is treating you stating that the doctor will be paid when you recover from the at-fault driver.
It is important to note that if you do not get appropriate and reasonable treatment, you are not mitigating your damages. If you decide not to get treatment for injuries sustained at the time of the accident, what happens if those injuries get worse with time? The at-fault driver may not be fully responsible because you could have avoided problems earlier.
Mitigating your damages means limiting the damages that you are now suffering with proper medical care. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident and do not have any medical insurance to pay for your medical bills, contact me at the Law Office of Gary G. Goldberg. I will be able help you find a doctor that will treat you on a lien.
Call me at (951) 788-8325. THERE IS NO COST TO YOU to talk to me. There is no risk or obligation. Don't wait. Contact me today.

Earlier this week, The Prince of Wales attended WaterAid's Water and Climate Summit to discuss the impacts of climate change on access to drinking water.
The Prince of Wales speaks at WaterAid's Water and Climate Summit
The summit was attended by government representatives, community members and business leaders. A key focus of the event established clean water as a priority for COP26, which takes place in Glasgow in November.
The Prince of Wales has been President of WaterAid for nearly thirty years, having taken up the role in 1991.
The event is one of a series of engagements being undertaken by The Prince of Wales in 2020 to highlight the urgent and practical steps required to reverse the effects of climate change.
In January, His Royal Highness launched the Sustainable Markets Council in partnership with the World Economic Forum, calling on governments, businesses, investors and consumers to take the urgent and practical steps required to transition to more sustainable practices.
During his opening remarks, The Prince said:
"I have tried, as some of you may know by now, to dedicate much of my life to the restoration of harmony between humanity, Nature and the environment, and to the encouragement of corporate social and environmental responsibility.
"With Water being so utterly essential to life, it is clearly vital that we recognize the link between Water and Climate Change."

The payment to income ratio also known as the debt to income ratio (DTI), is expressed as the amount of each monthly payment on all liabilities associated with houses, cars, credit cards, student loans, installment loans, personal loans, government, and marital and child support obligations. All of these obligations against a proposed housing payment divided into your gross monthly income reveals your payment to income ratio, and the magic number lenders use is 45% on most loan sizes.
If you own other properties such as another single-family residence, a condominium, or a multi-family property, any and all debt associated with another property would have to be factored into the complete qualifying formula. The same reasoning and logic applies for another house payment using the payment to income calculation.
Key Tip 1: If a consumer has one or more indebted properties and are looking to acquire another property and their payment to income ratio is too tight or is too high, in order to account for the purchase price point range they want to be in, the next best alternative rather than forking over more cash, is to consider refinancing to reduce the payment on the other home/homes they own. Doing so, reduces the minimum payments, improving borrowing power thus inflating the potential purchase price of the new home while lowering the payment to income ratio.
Lengthening The Term: reducing the term does improve borrowing ability because it reduces the minimum monthly mortgage payment. Lengthening also does increases the interest paid over the total life of the loan resulting in higher interest expense, unless principal prepayments are made or the property is sold off sooner than term is up. Since refinancing to qualify is a strategy to make the numbers pencil, a prudent mortgage consumer would also consider the longer term plan in keeping that property, renting it for cash flow or possibly selling in the future.
Reducing Rate: as long as you're going from the same term to the same term or from a shorter-term to a longer-term reducing the interest rate is always a viable way to reduce the payment to income ratio as the debt associated with the property will be also lower.
Removing Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)-refinancing to reduce any PMI associated with your monthly mortgage payment will have a strong and dramatic affect on your ability to qualify for a new mortgage especially if the PMI is several hundred dollars per month or more.
Key Tip 2: Its not uncommon to expect a $300 per month in refinance savings, can translate to up $40,000 in purchase price.
Cashing In Equity: this can be accomplished with a second mortgage such a home equity line of credit or even doing the first mortgage to pay off consumer obligations or any other liability hindering your ability to purchase a new home. Since mortgage interest is primarily deductible, this can be a very attractive option for many seeking to improve their cash flow while the same time being able to purchase, a bigger, better, home.
Before you refinance another property to improve your home buying chances, ask your mortgage broker how much more borrowing power you'll gain by taking the plunge. This is a critical first step as the goal of refinancing is to get closer to the prize. Of course you always improve your loan chances by forking over more cash increasing your down payment, but this approach isn't always the greenest route due to the reserve requirement (money savings in bank post closing escrow) most lenders have when acquiring real estate.
As with any mortgage loan, your complete ability to qualify will be based on your payment to income ratio, job history, credit score, credit history and the amount of cold hard cash you have available to play with for a down payment and closing costs and those lending reserves.

LAFD overtime `racket' decried
By Daily News | |
PUBLISHED: April 19, 2009 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 12:10 pm
Overtime pay for the Los Angeles Fire Department soared 60 percent over the last decade while its ranks grew just 17 percent, but there is no real effort to rein in the expense despite the city's budget crisis.
An analysis by the Los Angeles Daily News, a sister newspaper of the Daily Breeze, found that Los Angeles firefighters now average six times more overtime than their counterparts in Chicago, five times more than in Houston and two times more than in San Diego – a city that has roughly the same ratio of firefighters to residents as Los Angeles.
The Daily News analysis found:
Fifty-six firefighters earned at least $100,000 in overtime on top of their annual salaries last year, up from three in 1999 and 10 in 2005.
The average Los Angeles firefighter earned about $36,500 in overtime in 2008, compared with $29,000 in 1999. Their average salary and overtime compensation totaled $117,000.
The department's top earner racked up a total of $570,276 in overtime in the last three years, including $206,685 in 2006. His three-year overtime total was nearly double his base salary for that period.
Recruits earn overtime for after-hours remedial training "if they feel the need for more time to grasp the skills," a department spokeswoman said.
Over the past 10 years, the Fire Department has increased its staffing by 17 percent to 3,586 firefighters, as the city and its needs have grown.
Nevertheless, officials and union leaders say, massive amounts of overtime are still needed.
One reason is that National Fire Protection Association guidelines require the department to staff 1,104 positions at the city's 106 fire stations around the clock.
Then there are the 120 vacancies on the force – positions that intentionally have been left unfilled.
In the long run, officials say, it is cheaper to pay overtime than to hire more firefighters, whose annual salary, benefits and training add up to at least $100,000 each.
"We are sensitive to the fact that the city's budget is in a difficult situation right now," said Fire Chief Douglas Barry, a 34-year veteran of the department. "So we want to do all that we can to be more effective and more efficient in how we operate."
But taxpayer advocates call the ballooning overtime bill a "racket" designed to enrich firefighters at taxpayer expense. Even a recently retired LAFD captain said the staffing system needs to be overhauled.
Critics also point out that other departments operate with lower staffing levels without jeopardizing public safety.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department, for instance, assigns three firefighters to each engine, while the city agency requires four on a rig that is the same size.
Even cities like San Diego – which, like Los Angeles, requires four firefighters per rig and has roughly one firefighter per 1,100 residents – operate with significantly less overtime.
And while the vast majority of L.A.'s calls are for medical emergencies rather than fires, just one-fifth of city firefighters are cross-trained as paramedics.
"We are sending a huge ladder truck and engine to injuries when they really need (only) a small ambulance," said William Ernst, who retired as a captain a month ago.
"They send the big trucks on every person who needs a Band-Aid," he said.
Barry said he is looking at ways to trim overtime costs incurred by firefighters deployed to ensure public safety at marches, awards shows and other events – but those account for only a fraction of overtime expenses.
Events staffed by the LAFD last month included a Police Academy picnic, a gathering at the Playboy Mansion and a series of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" events.
While the department is reimbursed by event organizers for work on the day of the event, the city pays for planning and advance walk-throughs. During a recent 10-day period, the department sent firefighters to 25 separate events.
Apart from trying to reduce overtime at these events, however, the department has not been given any directive from the city to reduce overtime costs.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is not planning to push for changes in firefighter scheduling, according to his spokesman.
"The mayor believes that Los Angeles has the best trained, most professional firefighters in the country, and that they deserve to be fairly compensated for putting their lives on the line to keep L.A. residents safe," mayoral spokesman Matt Szabo said in a written statement.
"The mayor is not interested in getting rid of constant staffing, or any other measure which would take firefighters out of the stations.
"But he is confident that our firefighters will do their duty as public servants by sharing in the sacrifice required to prevent layoffs and maintain other critical city services."
Some city officials, however, say they are taking a look at the growing cost of overtime – especially at a time when the city is eyeing layoffs and service cuts to bridge a $530 million budget shortfall.
In all but one of the last 10 years, overtime increased annually in the department. Last year, the LAFD paid $139 million in overtime, up from $86million in 1999. Today, nearly a quarter of the department's $562 million budget goes toward overtime.
Los Angeles City Councilman Greig Smith, a member of the council's Budget and Finance Committee, said the city is making a number of cuts and the LAFD's overtime should be no exception.
"This year, more than ever, we're going to scrape for every penny we can find," Smith said. "We've never had to address this issue with the kind of deep cuts we've had to make. Now we have to look at an efficiency measure, including overtime."
Smith said he would push hard to change the department's constant staffing model to one that links personnel levels to how many calls each station handles.
"If you don't eliminate it, you have to upstaff the department," he said. "Do you bring in additional people to call on, or have a smaller department with constant staffing? It's one or the other."
Members of the Los Angeles Fire Commission, a civilian panel appointed by the mayor to oversee the Fire Department, did not return phone calls.
Critics say the city can't move fast enough to slash the overtime.
"This is standard operating procedure in a city that recognizes only two interests – developers and public employee unions. And the public employee unions have a headlock on City Hall," said Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
"If they want something, they get it. And they love overtime. It's an absolute racket."
The Fire Department and its unions say that paying overtime is not only a question of compensation, but one of public safety.
"We understand we've got to tighten the belt," said Capt. Stephen Ruda, a Fire Department spokesman. "But when it comes to saving lives and saving properties, that's our priority."
Paying overtime is cheaper than hiring new firefighters because the LAFD does not pay pension costs on overtime, said Mark Davis, a Fire Department analyst at the City Administrative Office. Pension costs make up almost 30 percent of pay for firefighters, and Davis said that figuring is climbing.
"It is today, and will be in the future," he said, "cheaper to staff on overtime, rather than incur all the costs associated with pensions and health and welfare for new employees."
Pat McOsker, president of United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, defended the overtime pay for firefighters, saying they earn every penny.
"We work overtime because the people of Los Angeles need us to and because the Fire Department and elected city officials insist on it," McOsker said. "They deserve commendations for that. Oftentimes, they are relieving others who are forced to work overtime."

When I was a dietetic intern at WIC, a common question women would ask is what is the difference between folic acid and folate? Often times these two nutrients are commonly used interchangeably by doctors making it a little confusing.
Folic Acid & Folate…What's the Difference?
What does Folate do in the Body?
Folate helps prevent neural tube defects (for instance spinal cord development outside on the back of the fetus or absence of a brain) in the developing fetus. Even if you aren't pregnant, you still need folate from the food you eat. Folate is responsible for making DNA and for cell division.
What are a Good Sources of Folate?
If you are more of a "carbo-holic," folate can be found in breads, cereals, flour, pastas, rice and other grain products. Food manufactures started to add folate into these foods after the FDA mandated they do so in the 90s (1). If you are taking a multivitamin, prenatal multivitamin, or B Vitamin Complex dietary supplement, folic acid is probably already added to it. The usual dose is 400 mcg of folic acid per serving of multivitamin.
Getting your vitamins from foods are ALWAYS best!

Every city has its hip area with trendy shops offering locally made trinkets, markets for vendors of organically grown produce, and faux-French cafés. Accountants and stockbrokers who wear power suits Monday to Friday may transform on Saturday into hipsters in faded jeans, t-shirts, bandannas around their heads or floppy straw hats to saunter around trendy areas of city.
It is harmless fun being seen as a part of the 'scene'. I get caught up in the pretense myself. Although it's hard to look trendy in an electric wheelchair, I still enjoy sipping a mocha latte at a sidewalk café and watching an assortment of hipsters strolling down the street.
But I occasionally find myself wondering if I'm watching a small outward expression (one of many) that is indicative of the age in which we live. Superficiality of image becomes everything, where taste and manners without deep-rooted substance stunts spiritual progress of the human soul.
While sipping my Americano espresso recently, I read an essay by Matthew Schmitz in First Things magazine entitled "Between the Hipsters and Hasids". He wrote about a trendy area of Brooklyn where he lives and the superficial culture of its hipsters.
Near the end of his essay, Matthew Schmitz wrote with stunning clarity that our generation loves an endless parade of "things that excite our desire without demanding our love." The milk in my Americano turned sour. He's right.
This is the state of many fashionable people of 21st Century in North America. Successive generations have rejected absolute truth for relative truth. People seek pleasure, titillation and entertainment.
people ever nearer to eternal truths revealed to us in the Scriptures and sacred traditions of the Catholic Church. It is when we immerse ourselves totally in these teachings and surrender more and more deeply to Christ that we begin to understand the purpose and meaning of our existence: To love God with our whole being and love others as we love ourselves and to spend eternity with a God who is the very essence of love.
suffering throughout thirty-three years of chronic illness in broader contexts than my reality. Pope John Paul II's Salvifici Doloros extensively addressed my questions about the Why of Suffering. Pope Benedict XVI spoke to me about hope in his book The Yes of Jesus Christ. He told the reader who suffers from illness or handicaps that God wants us to give Him a "down-payment of trust." The Pope told the reader that God is saying to us: "I know you don't understand me yet. But trust me: believe me when I tell you I am good and dare to live on the basis of this trust. Then you will discover that behind your suffering, behind the difficulties of your life, a love is hiding." This trust will serve as a vehicle of transcendence beyond my physical circumstances and suffering. The superficiality and cynicism of the world does not understand this. Trust involves vulnerability and self-denial of inner control. It is the antithesis of our age.
Never sacrifice the permanent for the immediate or trivial, the eternal for the temporal. Never prefer delights of the palate to the Bread of Heaven. Never desire the finest earthly wine over wine changed to the Blood of Christ.

COVID-19 infects scores of campers, counselors, and workers at Missouri summer camp
by: Roche Madden and Nexstar Media Wire
Posted: Jul 7, 2020 / 10:30 AM CDT / Updated: Jul 6, 2020 / 07:15 PM CDT
ST. LOUIS – An outbreak of COVID-19 at a summer camp near Branson, Missouri continues to spread.
At least 82 Kanakuk campers and workers have been infected, with the number of cases ballooning from 49 on Friday to 82 Monday. State health officials said they are working closely with the camp.
"We've been very involved with our summer camps and Kanakuk in particular," said Dr. Randall Williams, the director of the Missouri Department of Health.
Dr. Williams said he will not recommend Kanakuk close the infected facility. Williams said, "School is incredibly important for young people and we also think camps are important."
Camp Kanakuk hosts about 13,000 kids every year at several camps in southern Missouri. Five thousand kids have already taken part. Kanakuk officials sent a letter to parents saying that the positive cases were all at the K-2 camp. The remainder of the term has been canceled. But it's not closed for good this summer.
"They plan to open an abbreviated session once they've isolated those staffers and get their tests back that are negative," Dr. Williams said.
He said before Kanakuk opened the camp they had a plan in place to keep kids safe, and if there was an outbreak there was a plan for that as well.
Dr. Jason Newland, an infectious disease specialist at St. Louis Children's Hospital and Washington University Medical School, sent his three children to Kanakuk for about nine years while they were growing up. He said they loved it – but this year he said no to any sleepover camps.
"It's a risk when you want to go," Dr. Newland said. "To have a plan that they were going to keep everyone safe it's probably not possible."
He thinks most if not all the infected young people will survive and be fine, but he worries they could infect the vulnerable, like their grandparents, when they get home. Dr. Newland said, "The collateral damage that comes later … could be a bigger issue."

ISOFaithfulandTrue: as precious as a Ruby
It is written that wisdom is as precious as rubies and I found a gleaming gem today. I remembered Ruby and how I noticed him because he had the best topline I had ever personally seen on a horse. I did not know a thing about him or his owner, but I wanted to find out.
I was like a new gym-goer starting to lift weights who noticed an Olympic lifter and wanting to know how he trained to get there. So, I hung out at the gym/ring and watched.
His rider would spend most of their time walking Ruby and doing various moves while walking and her father was her ground person, and gave her feedback. I gradually found out bits about them but I was not there to insert myself into their training, but to learn by watching and observing.
Well, it was no accident that Ruby had that dancer's physique. He was an upper level dressage horse and his rider had been on her way to the Pan American Games in the past, I believe, when tragedy struck. She was a Grand Prix level dressage rider and was clearly an artist.
Eventually, I would ride during when she rode. She came out in the evening when others were gone. I purposely stayed late to watch. I really treasure those times now.
A Ruby dropped into my world tonight as I was thrilled with Mel and our ride. He reached down for the bit and walked out, but with true relaxation. It was the first time in a long time riding outside because he had had issues with his feet and the rocks outside and anywhere but the indoor ring. The gem appeared after I had watched some of a dressage show today. I enjoyed it most when the horses had a stretchy trot and walk, where they reach down for the bit with a very long rein stretching to meet the bit and make contact. Then, I wondered if Mel would be up to the task today.
When he had his last saddle fit, our instructor asked if Mel could ever be on a long rein. I said, some days, if he is in the space to handle it. Not that day, though, because he was barely holding it together and was filled with tension, as all kinds of things were going on and he'd been laid up for two months. She just had me get on him and we were the picture of tension–both of us, but we got the job done. He picked his saddle and did not act out at all. BALANCE saddles are chosen by the horse as to which he or she likes best and Mel made his choice very clearly known. I could feel it without a doubt. He moved completely differently. Mission accomplished–his time off had been in part because his saddle no longer fit him properly and it turned out that a used one with just the specifications that he preferred was available in Florida.
Life is quite interesting with Melness, whose registered name is Splendid High. Following what I need to do to take care of him has brought me to some great places and people.
Today I did not get to drop off the piece of tack that I planned to at that show, but I came back to Mel after being a spectator. Ruby trained extensively at the walk and I only recalled it after reflecting on my ride on Mel tonight.
Some say that watching dressage is like watching paint dry, but that does not ring true for me at all. I like watching horses move. I just do. Ruby was like watching Nijinsky.
As I have said before, getting an ex-racehorse to really relax with a rider on him is one of the biggest thrills of my life. Today Mel nailed it completely as he lifted his back and still remained at ease because I did not have to use leg to get him to lift his back and carry himself (and me) because of using the TTouch Balance Rein. It still is strange for me to ride with that Balance Rein. I do not have complete trust of it but I keep using it because I can see how well it works. Mel seems to really enjoy it as well.
That is a gem for me, to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can. Wisdom is knowing the difference and truly feeling the difference. When I get off of him and can see literally that his back remains lifted more than it ever was before, I know. I understand and am grateful that the Great Spirit gave his Splendid High-ness some serenity today in answer to prayer–and, I was granted some wisdom to know the difference. I truly knew how much it meant for him to find peace with a rider because that did not happen with his jockeys. He raced for ten years and excelled but he would have rather raced without a jockey, I am quite sure.
Now a Power greater than ourselves teaches us both to release tension through a perpetual prayer, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, peace be still, peace be still, peace be still, peace be still" repeated over and over and over again…" That is our practice–I say it and we both live it, by the grace of God, and I knew that He answered my prayer and goal that I one day be able to ride with the Faithful and True. He has to be in my heart in order for that to ever manifest; and He said, the kingdom of heaven is within you. I ride with Him when He reigns in my heart, and my ego is dethroned. I pray that He takes the reins always because He is truly the Prince of Peace and it takes His intercession for us to have serenity at all…Thank You, Lord!

ISOFaithfulandTrue: On a Splendid High 7-15-18
In "Saddle Solace," a great article on equines helping combat veterans, the Marine Matt Littrell, who rode across American on his Mustang Crow, gave his take on why horses help rehabilitate veterans. "Combat is the world's greatest high," he says in the Western Horseman article. "You'll never feel more alive that when you're about to die. You hear and see everything. When guys get back, they chase that level of high. They drive fast cars, party hard and do drugs. But horses give you a different kind of lasting high. The reward doesn't come from going fast and crazy. It's from getting a horse to soften and relax."
That was the Splendid High moment I had tonight, thanks be to a Power greater than ourselves. I have said before that one of the greatest thrills in life for me is to get an ex-racehorse to relax with a rider on him. I am very grateful Linda Tellington-Jones for her invention of the TTouch Balance Rein, which helps equines relax and lift their backs. Tonight we had what for me is an ultimate reward: after liberty work on the ground beforehand where he trotted next to me as I ran beside him with no coercion, he then relaxed with me astride as he lifted his back and stretched his neck down.
As the song says, I was "16 hands closer to Heaven"–on a horse appropriately named Splendid High, who is the best medicine ever for post-traumatic stress disorder. I am grateful to the Creator of this force of nature, in whom the Great Spirit resides and teaches me what the real prize in life is. To us, riding for the Prince of Peace and striving to be centered in His Peace is all…and He helps us as I ride praying the holy rosary recorded on my phone.
I had a midsummer night's dream-come-true of becoming a "stable nun" who finds Him in the manger of our hearts at peace with Him. Thank You, O Holy Ghost, for teaching us tonight and bringing all things to our remembrance whatsoever He taught us. You are indeed the Great Spirit in Nature who can train us and is…Thank You, and thank you St. Kateri, whom I believe has interceded for us, as well, as the patron saint of horsewomen and a devotee of the holy rosary also. We are grateful! May we ride to glorify Him always…

The Nike logo will appear on the Socceroos jersey throughout the next three World Cup campaigns after the sports manufacturer signed an 11-year contract with the Football Federation of Australia.
The exact figure has not been released but FFA Chief Executive, Ben Buckley, confirmed that it has become the largest financial contribution to Australian football aside from the broadcast deal. The new multi-million dollar deal has become the FFA's single largest sponsorship and is believed to be the most lucrative apparel agreement for any Australian national sporting team.
"It's obviously a long-term deal but it's multi millions of dollars per annum and all that goes into supporting the growth of the game," Buckley said. "That's [the sum] confidential but it's certainly the most significant contract agreement that we have. It locks in substantial income on an annual basis for a long period of time and then you can plan around that."
The deal encompasses kits and sponsorship of all national football teams, including the senior mens and womens teams as well as all youth teams. The current deal is the third successive agreement between the FFA and Nike, who has been Australia's kit manufacturer since 2004.
"I think we had a fantastic nine years together so far a lot of success with two world cup competitions with us and it made sense to give continuity to the game in Australia, continuity to our planning, continuity to the FFA's planning to make this the longest deal in Australia apparel history." Nike Pacific General Manager, Paul Faulkner, said.

Falling in love after falling apart – Travis and Kailah's story
by Annie | Apr 15, 2020 | Weddings | 0 comments
Travis and Kailah married in 2017 at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast. This is their story.
The first time Kailah and Trav met was way back at the beginning of high school. They were in separate friendship groups at the time so didn't form a close connection but they certainly remember each other from this time. Kailah with her freckles and knee-high socks, and Trav with his stubbie shorts and wide-brim sun smart hat. "Oh geez, she's a bit of alright," thought twelve-year-old Trav. Meanwhile, Kailah was thinking, "What a shame that cute guy goes for the Swans."
The years passed, school finished and Trav moved to the Gold Coast with his family. It wasn't until he returned to Albury some time later that their paths crossed again. They hit it off straight away and despite the fact Trav still barracked for the Swans, they began dating and formed a fairly immediate relationship.
They hadn't been together very long when tragedy struck and Trav was hospitalised after enduring a fairly significant head/brain injury during a football game. He remained in a transitional unit for the next seven months while he recovered. Kailah visited him every day and did whatever she could to help him get better. Trav attributes much of his recovery to the love and care she gave him during this time. He says that every day when Kailah walked in the door to see him, he felt an instant sense of calm, and she always had the ability to make him laugh and feel happy. Kailah says that the strength and resilience Trav displayed during this time was so inspiring to her and remarked on how, even through all his trauma, he still made every effort to make her feel special. I think it's fair to say that it was during this time they truly fell in love.
Once Trav was out of rehab and able to move back to Wagga full-time, they moved in together without hesitation. They turned their mate's granny flat into the coziest, most homely little retreat imaginable and began planning a celebratory trip to Fiji – their first holiday together. And they had a lot to celebrate too. Not just for the fact that Trav was well on is way on the road to recovery but also because Kailah had finished her degree and was now a fully qualified Occupational Therapist. A year later, Kailah secured a position working in her field on the Gold Coast and they made the move up.
Since then they have done and achieved so much together, both excelling and furthering their careers, travelling and exploring together, surviving multiple 16 hour car trips home without arguing, maintaining their health and fitness, successfully completing several Netflix tv series in marathon style efforts, and of course making and maintaining strong connections with their families and friends. In fact, one of the things that is most important to these two is family. They say that part of what they look forward to most in their marriage is bringing their two families together as one. And although they are a couple of over-achievers, I think you'll find that the things they most enjoy doing together occur in the quieter moments of their lives: lazy days on the beach or in the boat at Burleigh Hill, Sushi train on a Thursday night, watching a game of AFL or tennis… these are their best times, the ones they hold most dear.
And even though Trav says that Kailah's hearing can be quite selective at times, and her indecisiveness at meal times is frustrating, he also says that her positive approach to everything in life more than makes up for these short-comings. He loves the way she cares so much about him and others, her sense of loyalty to friends and family, the way she sees the good in everyone, including him, even when he's in a terrible mood. He loves the way she accepts and supports his passions and hobbies, even when she has no interest in them herself. He loves the way she dances in the car, how her laugh sounds like a dolphin, her countless "Clueless" moments, and the fact that in her he has found the ultimate wing woman. He can't wait to fulfil their hopes and dreams together, safe in the knowledge that he will never be alone because he will always have his best friend right there by his side, and there is nothing in this world that is greater than that.
And even though Trav's accent can get a bit too bogan at times, and he still refuses to switch over and join her as a Hawks supporter, Kailah says that they always have fun together and Trav can always make her laugh. She loves his helpful nature and the way he is always prepared to lend others a hand – if there is something that needs doing or fixing, Trav will be the first to get in there and do it. She loves the way he is so supportive and accepting of her fitness addiction. Even after four years of enduring Les Mills gym music on the regular, he has rarely raised a complaint, always waits around while she completes half marathons, even meeting her on the beach with drink or riding alongside her on the days when her motivation is low.
She loves his kind and thoughtful nature, the way he is so great and natural with his nephews and niece – he's always the first to pick them up and start playing with them. She admires his hard-working nature, determination to succeed in life, and his excellent Carl Barron impersonation skills. She says he always looks after her and never laughs or makes fun of her for crying during movies (which occurs quite often, apparently). She can't wait to spend her life growing and learning alongside this man, to buy their own home, have beautiful babies, and to proudly call him her husband for the rest of their days.
Special thanks to Meg from Love from Luff for creating the beautiful images in this post.
An update on Trav and Kailah: more than three years on from their wedding, they are doing incredibly well. Tragically, they lost Kailah's dad in an accident in late 2017. They have since had a baby boy who was due on her dad's birthday. He ended up arriving a day early and is very loved and very spoilt. Welcome to the world, Leo. You have landed in the most wonderful family.

How April Fools Became Popular
Despite having a mysterious origin, April 1, also called All Fools' Day, has long been celebrated by different cultures just as a day worth celebrating, well, foolishness to be precise. Fools' Day had been speculated by many historians to have started back 1582, when the French authorities adopted the Gregorian calendar and switched from the Julian calendar, as required by the Trent Council in 1563. A number of Frenchmen never got timely updates about the changes and it was noted that they went ahead and celebrated the end month of March through April 1 as of the year not knowing the beginning of the new year had moved to January 1. People who heard the news made fun of the rest blowing them with jokes and hoaxes. More particularly, April 1st is all about making other folks appear foolish with practical jokes. Find out more here about the mysterious origins.
Making Fools Of Others
As profoundly as we hold the heritage of making fools of other folks, there's much more than presumptions about where Fools' Day originated from. Figuring out how the holiday came about can be as tricky as determining the source of a joke.
A school of thought has it that the ancient Romans Empire held a festival called Hilaria which was used to mark 'the resurrection' of the god Attis. This, of course, resembles the English word hilarity that is contemporary equivalent to Hilaria also known as Roman Laughing Day.
April Fools In Different Cultures
Other cultures have their own non-Western traditions similar to the first of April, Fools' Day. In India, first of April is marked as Holi, a Hindu festival which often entices non-Hindi participants to take part. People from all cultures are spotted in India during April, Fools' Day, playing jokes and joyously hurling colorful dyes at each other.
In the late 18th century, April Fools' Day begun to spread all over Britain and in Scotland, the tradition turned out to be a two-day event. It all started with "hunting the gowk," (gowk meaning cuckoo bird, a fool symbol ) where people could be sent on phony errands and then it was followed by Tallie Day, that involved pranks played on people's buttocks, such as attaching some fake tails or any funny signs on people's backs.
The Persian culture holiday, known as Sizdah-bedar also coincides with Fools' Day bearing a similar a theme and characteristics. On this day, the Iranians play pranks and jokes on one another making it more of a Laughing Day as the Romans would have it and as a 'Holi-day' as the Hindu would put it.
Modern Times Fools Day
In modern times, April Fools' Day hoaxes and jokes have gone to higher heights as people try to be more creative to elaborate the day. TV stations, radio, newspapers and even web sites have taken part in the April Fools' Day tradition reporting startling fictional claims which have, more often than not, fooled their audiences. In 1957, a number of viewers were fooled by the BBC report showing footage of farmers harvesting noodles from trees claiming that Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop.
Nic Tuff, a UK radio presenter, working with West Midlands station made a phone call to then South African President Nelson Mandela and pretended to be Tony Blair, British Prime Minister, for a chat. Mandela fell for the joke until when he was asked what he was doing on Fools' Day and realized it was an imposter, Tuff.
Sports Illustrated is also on record for tricking its readers when it ran a cooked article in 1985 about Sidd Finch, a rookie pitcher, capable of throwing a fastball over 168mph. Fast-food restaurant, Taco Bell, duped millions of people by announcing in 1996 that they had agreed to buy Philadelphia's Liberty Bell, and they intended to change its name to Taco Liberty Bell.
The joke still goes on.

다양한 분야의 젊은 4개의 회사에게 작업 및 생산 공간을 제공할 수 있는 공동 임대 건물은 전형적이면서도 우아하고 세련된 의미를 지닌다. 북향으로 난 유리창은 아뜰리에 깊숙한 곳까지 빛을 끌어 당긴다.
This building, commissioned by the Provincial Development Company of West-Flanders, will provide rentable working and production spaces for four young companies in various fields of work. It is the only common building of the allotment of private companies and thus needs to express that position. For that reason, the building is at once very 'box-like' and archetypical but also elegant and refined, to set an example of economy of means and public engagement.
The project is a simple and spartan box, demonstrating a refined use of standard industrial building elements, such as prefabricated concrete walls, aluminium cladding and cupboard-like office spaces. A continuous north-oriented glasshouse facade brings light until deep into the ateliers, mirroring the open backside of the building. The four spaces are flanked by a communal meeting room, whose triangular form distorts the simple geometry of the building, and plays a perspective game with visitors arriving on its parking lot. The overhanging roof creates a set of protected parking lots in the back for the renters, thus freeing the public front facade of the obligatory cars, and maximising space for manoeuvres at the front gates. The distorted perimeter of the building is en exercise in box-ness, making an argument for a self-conscious utilitarian architecture.

Q: Multithread file reading overhead in java I have a server with plenty of resources in terms of processors, storage throughput and memory for processing a huge mass of files.
I am doing some performance tests and have adapted a small java program to test the parallel reading.Code is below
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
class MultiThreadedFileRead extends Thread
{
        InputStream in;
        MultiThreadedFileRead(String fname) throws Exception
        {
                in=new FileInputStream(fname);
                this.start();
        }
        public void run()
        {
                int i=0;
                while(i!=-1)
                {
                        try
                        {
                            i=in.read();
                            //System.out.print((char)i);
                                                        continue;
                        }catch(Exception e){}
                }
                try
                {
                        in.close();
                }catch(Exception e){}
        }
        public static void main(String a[]) throws Exception
        {
                int n=[0];
                MultiThreadedFileRead fr[]=new MultiThreadedFileRead[n];
                long tim;
                tim=System.currentTimeMillis();
                for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
                        fr[i]=new MultiThreadedFileRead(a[i]);
                for(int i=1;i<n;i++)
                {
                        try
                        {
                                fr[i].join();
                        }catch(Exception e){}
                }
                System.out.println("Time Required : "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-tim)+" miliseconds.");
        }
}

The results seems corrects: reading 10 files in parallel (10 threads) takes about the same time as reading one file/one thread plus some overhead. (sorry, I don't have the actual numbers here, might edit later adding it).
To be sure though, I'd like to know is what would be the expected, or "reasonable" overhead for opening threads for parallel reading...?
Also, I am not a java developer, so although the program is pretty simple, if I got something wrong please point it out.
ps. to run the program I have 10x10mb files (named tf0, tf1, tf2, etc.), and I run the test as java MultiThreadedFileRead 10 tf* (for 10 threads).

A: I think that the problem might be that the IO itself is not multithreaded.
If you create X threads and they all issue a read on IO it will not be X times faster because it does the IO reads sequentially.
I have tested the code for 9 threads and for 1 thread files (100MB each). Result were 208 seconds and 94 seconds.
There are two issues with the test as I see it:

*

*Reading without buffering (byte by byte) is not getting you max throughput.

*You are creating n-1 threads in the test.

A: There is no point in researching the time it takes to fire up a thread for two main reasons:

*

*It will be insignificant compared to the the amount of time it takes to read the file - unless you have some seriously empowered system.

*The statistics you gather will be specific to the system you are testing on - move it to another system, run it on a hot/cold day and your statistics will be meaningless.

You would be better to investigate actually distributing the processes across multiple machines if you are looking for a real performance boost.

A: If this is a server, you should probably use a thread pool rather than re-creating the threads. This would remove the thread creation overhead (except for a single time) and would prevent your server from going down when there are too many requests.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html
Also, you may want to consider non-blocking io, for a real performance boost.
http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-nio/nio-vs-io.html
When using normal reads, as @mrVoid suggested, you should use buffered readers.
And you might want to throw in some caching mechanism.

The Great Alaskan Grizzly Encounter
8 days with Natural Habitat Adventures Rating:
Day 1: Kodiak, Alaska
On arrival in Kodiak, our local guide meets you and transfers you to our hotel, pointing out sights along the way. Depending on your arrival time, you may be able to explore some of Kodiak's Russian and Native heritage on your own this afternoon. Options include the Baranov Museum, Alutiiq Museum, Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Cathedral and Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center. All are centrally located in the compact town of Kodiak that surrounds St. Paul's Harbor. Our grizzly adventure officially begins this evening with an informal welcome dinner and orientation hosted by our local guide.
Day 2: Kodiak Island Wildlife Cruise
While Katmai's grizzlies will be our main focus, Kodiak Island is an impressive wildlife destination in its own right, and today we explore a sampler of its coastal waters on a day-long private boat trip. A cruise among Kodiak's secluded bays and rocky shorelines, past tidal pools and kittiwake rookeries, may reveal sea otters, puffins, bald eagles, sea lions and sometimes humpback and fin whales. Kodiak is remote, not often visited by travelers to Alaska, and our sense of an intimate encounter with nature is palpable as we glide through its rockbound coves and islands. We'll also spend time touring historic Kodiak, with a mix of activities that may include a walk through the coastal rain forest at Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park, a fisheries research center with aquarium and touch tank, and/or a drive up Pillar Mountain for sweeping views over the town and sea, when weather permits.
Day 3: Kodiak / Katmai—Board Natural Habitat Ursus
The day has arrived: We're off to see the bears! And we reach them via a classically Alaskan means of transport: a floatplane journey from Kodiak to Katmai to meet our privately chartered ship, the Natural Habitat Ursus. Our plan is to fly out late morning, but timing is flexible in the event of weather delays, in which case we'll explore a bit more of Kodiak as we wait for the clouds to lift. Once we board the plane, we fly west over Kodiak's steep green mountains and across Shelikof Strait to the Katmai Peninsula. The pilot is in radio contact with the Ursus, and soon we're taxiing along the water to pull up alongside. Exiting the plane, we embark the vessel that will be our floating home for the next several days.
The 73-foot Ursus was built as a deep-sea fishing boat called Time Bandit, which navigated the stormy Bering Sea in pursuit of the lucrative king crab catch. Its successor, the second Time Bandit, gained fame in the Discovery Channel TV series "Deadliest Catch." The original boat was later transitioned for research use by the National Park Service and Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Since retrofitted for custom tourism charters, this sturdy veteran of wild Alaskan waters now offers our guests comfortable accommodations in this remote marine wilderness. The Ursus (which means "bear" in Latin) cruises slowly along the coast, where we commonly find coastal grizzlies, or brown bears, foraging for food. Since we are mobile, we can cruise to wherever the bears are, following them from bay to bay depending on weather and sea conditions. Along the way, the friendly captain and staff of the Ursus ensure we're welcomed, safe and attended to.
Days 4–6: Bear Viewing in Katmai National Park
While we've all seen footage in nature documentaries of Alaskan brown bears in the wild, nothing prepares us for the drama of an actual encounter with these magnificent beasts, often just yards away. They are North America's largest land predators, and an adult male can weigh 900 pounds. As we cruise just off the coast, bears dot the shoreline. We go ashore by skiff for an even closer view, traversing the beaches on foot. It's not uncommon to find several massive grizzlies at once. And far from dozing lethargically, these bears may put on quite a show in their efforts to fill up on enough protein-rich food to prepare them for a long winter in hibernation.
The bear activity we witness will vary according to the season, weather conditions, and timing of the salmon runs, but there's always something riveting to watch. We may see bears fight to capture salmon in their jaws, trying to seize spawning fish that make their way up the streams flowing over the intertidal area. As omnivores, bears also dig for clams and mussels in the sand and browse on protein-rich sedges. Depending on the time of our visit, we may even see bears mating or cubs gallivanting on the shore. On our other Alaska trips, we watch grizzlies from viewing platforms or vehicles. Not here! In coastal Katmai we are on foot, carefully wandering the area in our small group under the cautious guidance of our Expedition Leader, who offers thorough coaching in safe "bear etiquette." Sometimes we see wolves, too, observing their interesting interactions with the bears. While occasionally there may be another boat in the region, we're usually alone in the wilderness, moved by a profound sense of solitude, peace and raw beauty. This trip offers an encounter with the Alaskan wild that we trust will thrill you beyond expectation.
Day 7: Bear Viewing in Katmai / Return to Kodiak
One last morning is set aside for time with the bears before our planned flight back to Kodiak later today. Traveling in an open skiff, we head once more toward shore, looking for a glimpse of the glaciers that crown the tall mountains behind Katmai's lonely coastline. Typically these peaks are cloaked in clouds while evocative mists weave in and out of the bays, providing the moisture that keeps Katmai so lush and verdant. Deep ash covered the region after the massive 1912 eruption of Mount Katmai and adjacent Novarupta, and revegetation in the century since has come mostly as a thick blanket of willow and alder bushes, though some stands of spruce thrive as well—keep an eye out for bald eagles in the treetops. Seabirds abound, too—look for kittiwakes, terns, mergansers, pigeon guillemots and black oystercatchers.
On shore, we walk across the tidal flats and gravel bars, possibly fording a few streams to find the best vantage point for a last sojourn with the bears. Inevitably, it's going to be hard to leave here. Most travelers never get such an immersion in genuine wilderness, let alone the chance to sit in solitude with some of the world's most magnificent carnivores. We're sure to come away awed by the access the bears grant us to their world, and inspired to protect them from the very real threats of mining, climate change and other forces that may impact the ecosystem that sustains them—especially the salmon runs on which they rely. Back in Kodiak, our local guide meets us once more as we transfer to our hotel. A farewell dinner is planned at a local restaurant. Fresh seafood is always on the menu, along with other varied choices.
Day 8: Kodiak / Depart
Our Alaska bear adventure comes to a close today as we depart from Kodiak. We recommend guests book an afternoon flight out in case inclement weather prevents us from flying back to Kodiak on Day 7 as scheduled. (Occasionally, weather delays may require a morning flight today from the Ursus back to Kodiak.) Several morning activity options are available in town as we wait for flight departures, however, and our Kodiak guide makes sure there's plenty to engage us.
Nature puts on few displays as arresting as Alaskan brown bears feeding on summer's bounty. These bears—the largest coastal grizzlies in the world—gorge on spawning salmon as the fish swim up the rivers that pour onto these wild beaches. Our private chartered boat, the Natural Habitat Ursus, is ideally designed for our Alaska adventure cruise, offering an exclusive opportunity to follow the bears along the shoreline as they fish, dig for clams and amble along the beach. Ashore, we have an even closer vantage point as we watch on foot with our guide from a careful distance. The bears could not be more nonchalant about our presence! Here in Katmai National Park, experience this rarest of encounters with Ursus arctos in all its untamed majesty.

A Private Ship for Exclusive Access: Cruising just offshore on our chartered ship allows unparalleled access for bear viewing and photography, in the most remote and intimate of contexts.
Guided by Expert Bear Naturalists: Watch bears fishing or foraging on the beach as we walk ashore in the careful company of our Expedition Leader, an expert bear naturalist.
Kodiak: Kodiak Inn
Cruising: Cabin onboard M/V Natural Habitat Ursus
Group Size Limit: Approximately 8 Travelers
Not Included: Travel to and from start and end point of the trip, alcoholic beverages, some gratuities, passport and visa fees, airport and departure taxes, items of a personal nature (phone calls, souvenirs, etc.), optional travel insurance and required medical evacuation insurance.
Internal Airfare cost: $595 to $695 per person.
Physical Requirements: Moderate to Difficult. This small-ship-based Alaska adventure cruise requires a moderate level of physical fitness in terrain that can be difficult to navigate. At times, travelers must walk at least two miles to reach the daily bear-viewing location, in varied conditions that may include rough, uneven terrain, shallow water, and walking through mud while wearing chest waders (which can feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable)—while carrying all of your own gear including camera equipment. In order to maximize bear-viewing opportunities, we may spend long days ashore, returning late to the ship for dinner. Once at the bear-viewing site, physical activity is quite limited. We may spend several hours in essentially one spot with little movement, sitting on low stools or buckets. For safety reasons, it is not possible to split the group, for individuals to return to the ship early or to stay in one place while the rest of the group moves. Transfers between the Natural Habitat Ursus (our small ship) and the float plane, and to the smaller boat we use to access shore, require the ability to make a large step up or down onto an unstable surface. It is generally not possible to view bears from the Ursus. Travelers must be of sound health and able to maintain a positive attitude in a wild and remote setting.
Arrive in Kodiak/Homer in time for a 7 pm welcome dinner and orientation on Day 1. Exact times of our flights between Kodiak/Homer and the Natural Habitat Ursus vary according to weather and other logistical factors. We are scheduled to return to Kodiak/Homer on Day 7. You are free to depart from Kodiak/Homer anytime on Day 8, but we strongly recommended choosing a flight in the afternoon in the unlikely event that poor weather prevents us from returning by float plane as scheduled on the itinerary. Should travelers be required to remain in Kodiak/Homer longer than anticipated due to inclement weather, either before, after or during the trip, they will be responsible for their own expenses.

Design is my passion, it has been since I first discovered Photoshop, back when custom pages on MySpace were 'cool' and Flash animations were the peak of a website.
Since then, I have led web design teams at several startups, from all over the world. I know what it takes to turn your great ideas into effective web and product design.
Cool is great, but for startups, cool is as cool does—if your design doesn't take you where you want to go in business, how cool is it, really? You need a process, and a plan to get there, and I'll create both.

Genetic mapping of the Tsw locus for resistance to the Tospovirus Tomato spotted wilt virus in Capsicum spp. and its relationship to the Sw-5 gene for resistance to the same pathogen in tomato.
The Tsw gene conferring dominant resistance to the Tospovirus Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in Capsicum spp. has been tagged with a random amplified polymorphic DNA marker and mapped to the distal portion of chromosome 10. No mapped homologues of Sw-5, a phenotypically similar dominant TSWV resistance gene in tomato, map to this region in C. annuum, although a number of Sw-5 homologues are found at corresponding positions in pepper and tomato. The relationship between Tsw and Sw-5 was also examined through genetic studies of TSWV. The capacity of TSWV-A to overcome the Tsw gene in pepper and the Sw-5 gene in tomato maps to different TSWV genome segments. Therefore, despite phenotypic and genetic similarities of resistance in tomato and pepper, we infer that distinct viral gene products control the outcome of infection in plants carrying Sw-5 and Tsw, and that these loci do not appear to share a recent common evolutionary ancestor.

In January 2019, CCTV footage was released by Stellenbosch Golf Club to the public. The footage showed an individual who was believed to be Rose with a female counterpart proceeding to steal golf clubs from the bags of the golf club members. The footage was so compelling to the extent that most people were sure that it was indeed Earl and his wife.
Earl Rose wife, Amor, revealed that she had been in Namibia, and her husband had been in Cape Town. Stellenbosch Golf Club announced that the footage was being investigated by the law enforcers, who were yet to rule out Earl as the primary suspect. The club also acknowledged that they could not comment on the matter because the investigation was still being conducted.
Rose was discovered to be in a Facebook group that sold second-hand golf equipment online. This was an incidence that did not make him look good. Although the clubs that had been stolen were returned, the charges against Rose were not dropped. It forced him to surrender to the police. He later appeared in court with a theft charge.

Esta mochila é compacta o suficiente para um notebook de 15 polegadas, e o peso de menos de 800 gramas não incomoda, mesmo com ela cheia de objetos. Parece ser resistente a ação do tempo.Parece não deformar graças a fibra de poliéster usada como material principal. É antiestática e fácil de limpar e bonita sobretudo.Outro recurso muito bom que me agrada é o fato da mochila possuir uma porta USB com a fiação já aplicada, o que permite colocar uma powerbank em um bolso escondido da mochila e, sempre que precisar, carregar o smartphone ou outro dispositivo sem precisar fazer muito esforço.
Ich habe diesen Rucksack vor ein paar Tagen bekommen. Ich muss sagen, dass ich davon begeistert bin. Die Qualität ist top und die Verarbeitung kann sich mit hochwertigen Rucksäcken messen lassen.Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen!Was mir nicht so gefallen hat ist, dass ich das "Digital board" mit bestellt habe, diese wurde leider nicht mitgeschickt und Gearbest weigert sich dieses nach zu senden. Stattdessen wurde mir mickrige 50 Punkte angeboten.Die Lieferung hat zu lange gedauert. Die Trackingnummer war mehr als einen Monat nicht erreichbar.Alles in Allem ist das Produkt der wahnsinn, diese nebensächlichen Sachen haben mir aber den Spaß ein bisschen verdorben.
Questo zaino semirigido è perfetto. I materiali usati sono di qualità e non appare ingombrante nonostante la capienza.

Excelent backpack. This backpack is amazing, has a lot of features and is confortable. I love it.
Stylish Bagpack.Storage room could be a litte bit more.Lock works good but don't expect to be very safe.Bag is more for carry a laptop and other devices.For regular grocery shopping are better options avaliable.

Patrick James Bamford (born 5 September 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Middlesbrough. Although primarily a forward, he is also capable of playing in an attacking midfield role.
He began his career at Nottingham Forest, making his debut on 31 December 2011, and a month later joined Chelsea for a fee of £1.5 million. Chelsea then loaned him out to Milton Keynes Dons, Derby County, Middlesbrough with whom he won the Championship Player of the Year, and eventually Crystal Palace. Capped once for the Republic of Ireland at under-18 level, he later changed allegiances to England, whom he has represented up to under-21 level.


Queen's Manor benefits from a wonderful site comprising large conservation area with a pond (and resident toads), an allotment – resplendent with scarecrow, greenhouse and fruit trees – a small field and three playgrounds (all with mature trees and shrubs).
We are fortunate in being a little oasis in the centre of London, overlooking the River Thames and the London Wetland Centre.
Children enjoy daily opportunities to learn in the outdoor environment. Classes grow flowers, fruit, vegetables and herbs which are then harvested and used in the school's kitchen and presented to the children at lunch time.
Friends of Queen's Manor regularly use the allotment area for afternoon tea parties, fundraising events and celebrations and the field within the Key Stage One playground is central to the summer fair activities.

John Ashcroft is a reknowned LAWBREAKER
author: reposter
How does this grab you? It's like a bear hug to me! It's time we collectively write
e-mails, letters, make phone calls, and demand that Bush fire this damned crazed
religiloonie...he is totally unfit for the office as US Attorney General. Let's hear it out
there>>>remember the Peter Finch-character in NETWORK that would scream as
loud as he could..."I'm mad as hell and I ain't taking it anymore!"...we ALL need to
do this...often!
we repost, you decide
Our lawbreaking attorney general
By DOUG THOMPSON
As the top law enforcement officer of the land, the U.S. Attorney General is not only expected to enforce the law but also to obey it.
However, for John Ashcroft - author of the Constitution-defying USA Patriot Act, draper of nude statues at the Department of Justice and generally offensive zealot - ignoring the law is standard procedure. What else should we expect from the former U.S. Senator who couldn't even beat a dead man in his home state of Missouri?
As attorney general of Missouri, Ashcroft often ran afoul of the law, refusing to enforce anything he felt violated his religious and/or moral beliefs, like the repeal of blue laws forbidding retail stores to open on Sunday or changes in state liquor laws.
His lawbreaking zealotry continued as governor, where the State Supreme Court slapped him down more than once for putting his political agenda ahead of the laws on the books.
Those who know and work with Ashcroft admit privately that he is an idiot, an ideologue who believes he answers to a higher calling than the Constitution or the law. As U.S. Attorney General, he has expanded the FBI's ability to wiretap, monitor and harass U.S. citizens, using the public's overwrought fear of terrorism to create a police state.
But at least one federal agency is not afraid to treat Ashcroft for what he is - a lawbreaker.
The Federal Election Commission this week slapped the Attorney General's failed U.S. Senate Campaign (the one where he lost re-election to a dead man) with a $37,000 fine for "at least four violations of federal campaign law." The violations include illegally transferring $110,000 from Ashcroft's presidential exploratory campaign committee to his Senate campaign.
Ashcroft's violations were so blatant that even the three Republican members of the commission voted for the penalties. In fact, the only dissenter was Democrat Ellen L. Weintraub, who felt the penalty was too light because it did not "adequately reflect the severity of the issue."
Republicans, of course, are downplaying the violations and fine, saying it was a "garden variety complaint." That's like the Democrats saying Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky scandal was "only about sex."
When combined with Ashcroft's behavior in the past, the campaign violations show a pattern of disregard for the law and a continued contempt for playing by rules.
Even Ashcroft's closest advisors and friends will admit he is overbearing and self-righteous, but his supporters claim he acts in the best interests of the country.
U.S. citizens who have been manhandled by the FBI's goon squads disagree. Those whose rights have been trampled by the USA Patriot Act have a different view of where his interests lie.
The National Voting Rights Institute Wednesday called for a Justice Department investigation into Ashcroft's Senate campaign. It won't happen. Ashcroft runs the Justice Department.
What should happen, of course, is that George W. Bush, the man who promised to run an ethical administration, should tell Ashcroft to quit and fire him if he doesn't.
That also won't happen. Bush has his own problems with ethics and honesty.
So a lawbreaker named John Ashcroft will remain where he is and continue to be a disgrace to his office as well as a constant reminder that the Bush Administration and the party that backs him doesn't give a damn about the law, the Constitution or the United States of America.

Baldwin didn't arrive in time for the Cavaliers' morning shootaround and is uncertain to play Tuesday against the Celtics, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
The Cavaliers acquired Baldwin and Nik Stauskas from the Trail Blazers on Sunday, shipping away Rodney Hood in the deal. Given that neither Stauskas nor Baldwin has had a chance to practice with Cleveland yet, it's unlikely that coach Larry Drew will summon either from the bench Tuesday as anything more than an emergency option. With the Cavaliers seemingly committed to giving lottery pick Collin Sexton plenty of run as the starting point guard, it's difficult to see Baldwin having a clear path to major minutes in Cleveland.


Please join me in celebrating our supportive, caring La Entrada teachers, counselor and secretary this week. Cards will be available on the front counter if you would like to write a note a gratitude. Go, Jaguars.
This Outstanding Senior came to La Entrada out of a desire to manage her own education and refuel her love for learning. She has done just that and will be graduating in June one full year early. Creative, hardworking, and passionate, she was accepted into six of the eight universities to which she applied. She will attend the University of Redlands in the fall with over $120,000 in scholarships and acceptance into the Johnston Center for Integrative Studies where she will create her own degree program---a blend of Media Studies, Production, Creative Writing, Art and Business. Please join me in congratulating the multi-talented and fiercely dedicated, Sydney Rivera.
Sydney was honored by the PYLUSD Board of Education and Executive Cabinet on Tuesday, April 17. She has been an exceptional student at La Entrada and served this year on the Superintendent's High School Advisory Council.
All students who have met all PYLUSD and LEHS graduation requirements are invited to audition to speak at Graduation on June 12, 2018. Please review the information included here. Contact Mrs. Soberanes to schedule an audition time on May 18, 2018. Go, Jaguars!
In an effort to model future ready skills and better support students, the La Entrada High School team started their first workshop to become Google Certified Educators on Monday, April 16, 2018. The teachers, secretary, counselor, and principal have all made a commitment to becoming level 1 certified which includes completion of various training modules as well as successful completion of a Google certification exam. Teachers have already started to transition to Google Classroom for use during the 2018-19 school-year, and all new students will complete the LEHS orientation process via Google Classroom beginning in August 2018.

quite funny, but look at the Wahlberg's face ! He looks like very uncomfortable for the comedy.
Anyway, what the title and singer of the song ?
The name of the song is ''Ridin''' by the rapper Chamillionaire.
Living one sheets are best suited for using live actors as oppose to those horrible cut and paste versions. Nice job on this one.
This Movie Poster Looks Fun!!!
Funny- but I wonder how it's going to be displayed in theaters without too much auditory disturbance. Perhaps it would be in the form of a stand-up display with a speakerphone for the audio, like one audiovisual display for Pixar's UP early last year.
Fantastic! One of my favorite living one sheets to date.
Whatever. Does anyone not just see these as site banners?
I feel like Im choosing to watch a commercial.
of the single image POSTER design. Just a FAD.
really cool COMMERCIAL. DUH. moving pictures and audio= commercial. maybe it should be on you tube.
Hilarious, but it looks more like a teaser trailer than a poster.

Cheryl Cole sparks X Factor race row and death threats
By Jessica David
The decision made by Cheryl Cole to axe Gamu Nhengu in this year's X Factor has sparked a race row and death threats.
Young hopeful Gamu Nhengu, who didn't make Cheryl Cole's final three, has reportedly been told to leave the UK to return to her native Zimbabwe after her visa expired. The 18-year-old singer was allowed to stay in the country as a dependant while her mother studied at university, but the family's application to remain in Britain was today rejected as, reports claim, 'they did not meet with the criteria set down by the Home Office.'
X Factor bosses have denied claims that Cheryl's decision to axe Gamu was influenced by immigration officers, with a spokeswoman for the talent show said: "Gamu's visa being processed was not the reason that she didn't make the final 12." Meanwhile, more than 210,000 fans have signed up to a Facebook page protesting Cheryl's decision to leave Gamu out of her final three.
Sadly for fans, Home Office officials are currently speaking to Gamu and her family about when they are to leave the UK, whilst things have taken a chilling turn for Cheryl Cole, who has been targeted by death threats following her X Factor decision. Reports today claim that the Girls Aloud singer has received several alarming messages, one of which said: "Every1 has a bullet for you. (sic)"
The message, apparently sent from Tottenham, North London, continued: "Dat cheryl was da biggest mistake of your life. U want to act innocent on tv like you don't know wat ur doing. But we all know how racist you are (sic).
Scotland Yard and X Factor bosses are believed to be investigating the threats.
